“Although the quarter and near term outlook were impacted by certain industry headwinds and the recent hurricanes, with the integration of NSH we move towards 2018 with a larger, more diversified business focused on delivering high quality, cost effective surgical procedures to a growing number of patients, payors and providers. While we were pleased to see normalized same-facility revenue growth over the prior year, we have launched specific initiatives to accelerate same-facility case growth, and improve margins including implementing procurement optimization programs. We are confident we will enter 2018 with a stronger business capable of delivering improved, sustainable long-term financial performance,” said Clifford Adlerz, Interim CEO of Surgery Partners.
Adlerz added, “We continue to believe that the trend in surgical procedures moving towards high quality, more cost-effective settings remains a long-term growth driver for Surgery Partners. The Company remains well capitalized to take advantage of the underlying trends in the industry and fund both organic growth initiatives and accretive acquisitions. To further advance our leadership position in the industry, we will remain focused on providing high quality, cost effective solutions for surgical procedures and continue our focus on identifying opportunities to optimize our business.”
As of September 30, 2017, the Company owned or operated 124 surgical facilities primarily in partnership with physicians and, on a select basis, physicians and health systems, in addition to a network of 60 physician practices.

Full Year 2017 Guidance
For 2017, as a result of the continuation of broader industry softness related to residual effects of the hurricanes as well as the ongoing impact of slower volumes and a less favorable payor mix, the Company’s 2017 guidance ranges for the year have been updated from the range issued in our second quarter earnings press release. Including the partial year impact of the NSH acquisition, which is performing as anticipated, revenue is now expected in the range of $1.30 billion to $1.33 billion and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $178 million to $185 million which includes the normalization for the impact of hurricanes and the reserve adjustment.

(5) The above table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to income before income taxes as reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
When we use the term “Adjusted EBITDA,” it is referring to income before income taxes minus (a) net income attributable to non-controlling interests plus (b) depreciation and amortization, (c) interest expense, net, (d) non-cash stock compensation expense, (e) contingent acquisition compensation expense, (f) merger transaction, integration and practice acquisition costs, minus (g) gain on litigation settlement, plus (h) loss on disposal or impairment of long-lived assets and (i) loss on debt refinancing. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to assess operating performance, make business decisions and allocate resources. Non-controlling interests represent the interests of third parties, such as physicians, and in some cases, healthcare systems that own an interest in surgical facilities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. We believe that it is helpful to investors to present Adjusted EBITDA as defined above because it excludes the portion of net income attributable to these third-party interests and clarifies for investors our portion of Adjusted EBITDA generated by its surgical facilities and other operations.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating our financial performance. We believe such adjustments are appropriate, as the magnitude and frequency of such items can vary significantly and are not related to the assessment of normal operating performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
(6) This amount includes merger transaction and integration costs of $5.3 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and practice acquisition costs of $1.1 million and $607,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
This amount includes merger transaction and integration costs of $8.6 million and $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and practice acquisition costs of $2.6 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

(Unaudited, Amounts in thousands)
From time to time, the Company incurs certain non-recurring gains or losses that are normally nonoperational in nature and that it does not consider relevant in assessing its ongoing operating performance. When significant, Surgery Partners’ management and Board of Directors typically exclude these gains or losses when evaluating the Company’s operating performance and in certain instances when evaluating performance for incentive compensation purposes. Additionally, the Company believes that certain investors and equity analysts exclude these or similar items when evaluating the Company’s current or future operating performance and in making informed investment decisions regarding the Company. Accordingly, the Company provides adjusted net income per share attributable to Surgery Partners, Inc. stockholders as a supplement to its comparable GAAP measure of net income per share attributable to Surgery Partners, Inc. Adjusted net income per share attributable to Surgery Partners, Inc. stockholders should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from adjusted net income per share attributable to Surgery Partners, Inc. stockholders are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted net income per share attributable to Surgery Partners, Inc. stockholders should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income per share attributable to Surgery Partners, Inc. stockholders as presented in the consolidated financial statements.
The following table reconciles net income as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations to adjusted net income used to calculate adjusted net income per share attributable to Surgery Partners, Inc. stockholders:

(6) Adjusted net loss per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 excludes the impact of the preferred dividend of $2.6 million and a redemption adjustment of $15.6 million allocated to the participating securities.
(7) The impact of potentially dilutive securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was not considered because the effect would be anti-dilutive in each of those periods.
In connection with the Preferred Private Placement and the Private Sale, as previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 1, 2017, the Company elected to apply “pushdown” accounting with the change of control effective August 31, 2017, by applying the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods before and after August 31, 2017 will reflect different bases of accounting, and the financial positions and results of operations of those periods are not comparable. Throughout the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes therein to be filed on November 9, 2017, periods prior to the change of control are identified as "Predecessor" and periods after the change of control are identified as "Successor."
