Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract] |
Other Noncurrent liabilities and Redeemable/Noncontrolling Interests | (3) Other Noncurrent liabilities and Redeemable/Noncontrolling Interests Other noncurrent liabilities include the long-term portion of our professional and general liability, workers’ compensation reserves, pension and deferred compensation liabilities, and liabilities incurred in connection with split-dollar life insurance agreements on the lives of our chief executive officer and his wife. As of June 30, 2025, outside owners held noncontrolling, minority ownership interest s of: (i) approximately 7% in an acute care facility located in Texas; (ii) 49%, 30%, 20%, 25%, and 48% in five behavioral health care facilities located in Arizona, Ohio, Washington, Missouri, and Iowa, respectively, (iii) 25% and 49% in two behavioral health care facilities located in Michigan and; (iv) approximately 5% in an acute care facility and 49% in a surgery center, located in Nevada. The noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interest balances of $55 million and $60 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2025, consist primarily of the third-party ownership interests in these hospitals. In connection with certain of the behavioral health care facilities mentioned above, the outside owners have “put options” to potentially put their entire ownership interest to us either in the future upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (as specified in the agreements), or at the present time. If exercised, the put option requires us to purchase the minority member’s interest at fair market value. Amounts recorded as redeemable noncontrolling interests on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 reflect the estimated fair market value of the minority ownership interests that contain such put options. Generally accepted accounting principles require that noncontrolling interests be classified as equity and we have presented noncontrolling interests in total equity. However, since certain of our noncontrolling interests have redemption rights outside of our control, those noncontrolling interests are classified outside of permanent equity. Accordingly, noncontrolling interests with an estimated redemption amount of approximately $39 million as of March 31, 2025 have been reclassified from noncontrolling interest to redeemable noncontrolling interests as of June 30, 2025. We do not believe these revisions are material to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 or to any prior years’ consolidated financial statements. The minority owners of a 20% interest in a behavioral health care facility located in Pennsylvania had previously exercised their put option and we purchased their ownership interest in April, 2025.
