The Company determined that the criterion to classify the management services service line as assets held for sale within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets effective March 31, 2019 were met, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of that service line were classified as current assets and liabilities held for sale at March 31, 2019 and continue to meet the criteria at September 30, 2019. In addition, in accordance with accounting guidance for discontinued operations, the expected divestiture of the management services service line was deemed to represent a fundamental strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations, and accordingly, the operating results of the service line wereMedData are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
In May 2020, the Company divested its anesthesiology services medical group. The operating results of this medical group are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Coronavirus Pandemic
(“COVID-19”):
COVID-19
and related “stay at home” and social distancing measures implemented across the country have significantly impacted demand for medical services provided by the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheetsaffiliated clinicians.     Beginning in
mid-March
2020, the Company experienced a significant decline in the number of elective surgeries at the facilities where the Company’s affiliated clinicians provided anesthesiology services. Much of this decline was due to the closure of operating suites or facilities following federal advisories to cancel
non-urgent
procedures and related disclosures, resultingthe prohibition of such procedures by several states. Within the Company’s radiology services medical group, orders for radiological studies declined by a meaningful amount from the recognition of significant right of use assets and related liabilities, primarily related to its operating lease arrangements for space in hospitals and certain other facilities for its business and medical offices. See
Nhistorically normal levels,

with much of this reduction focused in
non-urgent
studies. See Note 6 – Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations for information regarding the divestment of the Company’s anesthesiology services medical group and the planned divestment of the Company’s radiology services medical group. The Company’s affiliated office-based practices, which specialize in maternal-fetal medicine, pediatric cardiology, and numerous pediatric subspecialties, experienced a significant elevation of appointment cancellations compared to historical normal levels. At this time, the Company has not experienced, nor does it currently anticipate, any significant impact to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patient volumes as a result of
COVID-19.
Overall, the Company’s operating results were significantly impacted by
COVID-19
beginning in
mid-March
2020.
The Company implemented a number of actions to preserve financial flexibility and partially mitigate the significant anticipated impact of
COVID-19.
These steps included a suspension of most activities related to the Company’s transformational and restructuring programs, limiting these expenditures to those that provide essential support for the Company’s response to
COVID-19.
In addition, (i) the Company temporarily reduced executive and key management base salaries, including 50% reductions in salaries for its named executive officers through June 30, 2020; (ii) the Board of Directors agreed to forego their annual cash retainer and cash meeting payments, also through June 30, 2020; (iii) the Company enacted a combination of salary reductions and furloughs for
non-clinical
employees; and (iv) the Company enacted significant operational and practice-specific expense reduction plans across its clinical operations. The Company also divested its anesthesiology services medical group in May 2020, where operating results were significantly impacted by
COVID-19.
In response to the anticipated impact of
COVID-19
on the Company’s results of operations, on March 25, 2020, the Company amended and restated its Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) establish a deemed Consolidated EBITDA of $139.2 million for the second and third quarters of 2020, reflecting average Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the prior eight quarters (calculated for purposes of the Credit Agreement), which will be used in the calculation of rolling four consecutive quarter Consolidated EBITDA under the Credit Agreement, (ii) temporarily increase the maximum consolidated net leverage ratio required to be maintained by the Company from 4.50:1:00 to 5.00:1:00 for the second and third quarters of 2020 and 4.75:1:00 for the fourth quarter of 2020, before returning to 4.50:1:00 for the first quarter of 2021 and beyond, (iii) require that the Company maintains minimum availability under the Credit Agreement of $300.0 million through the third quarter of 2021, (iv) provide for a weekly repayment of borrowings under the Credit Agreement through the second quarter of 2021 using unrestricted cash on hand in excess of $300.0 million, plus a reserve for certain payables, and (v) temporarily restrict the Company’s ability to make restricted payments under the Credit Agreement for the remainder of 2020, subject to certain exceptions. At September 30, 2020, the Company believes it was in compliance, in all material respects, with the financial covenants and other restrictions applicable to the Company under its Credit Agreement, its 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023 and its 6.25% senior unsecured notes due 2027. The Company believes it will be in compliance with these covenants for the next twelve months. At September 30, 2020, the Company had no outstanding principal balance on its Credit Agreement. The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $0.2 million which reduced the amount available on its Credit Agreement to $899.8 million at September 30, 2020, after giving effect to the temporary reduction of the capacity of its Credit Agreement described above through September 30, 2021.
CARES Act
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) into law. The CARES Act is a relief package intended to assist many aspects of the American economy, including providing up to $100 billion in aid to the healthcare industry to reimburse healthcare providers for lost revenue and expenses attributable to
COVID-19.
The remaining $70 billion in aid is intended to focus on providers in areas particularly impacted by
COVID-19,
rural providers, providers of services with lower shares of Medicare reimbursement or who predominantly serve the Medicaid population, and providers requesting reimbursement for the treatment of uninsured Americans. It is unknown what, if any, portion of the remaining healthcare industry funding on the CARES Act the Company and its affiliated physician practices will qualify for and receive. The Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) is administering this program and began disbursing funds in April 2020, of which the Company’s affiliated physician practices
within continuing operations
received an aggregate of approximately $20.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company has applications pending for certain affiliated physician practices for incremental relief beyond what has been received.
In addition, the CARES Act also provides for deferred payment of the employer portion of social security taxes through the end of 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount due December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due December 31, 2022. The Company intends to utilize this deferral option throughout 2020.
The COVID-19
pandemic has
materially
impacted the Company’s
financial results, but due to the rapidly evolving environment and continued uncertainties surrounding the timeline of and impacts from COVID-19, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company, however, believes it will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations for the next twelve months.

Cash Equivalents and Investments:
As of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company’s cash equivalents consisted entirely of money market funds totaling $3.2$2.4 million and $0.5$16.8 million, respectively. Investments consisted of corporate securities, municipal debt securities, federal home loan securities
, corporate securities,
and certificates of deposit.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company changed the classification of its All investments from
held-to-maturity
to available for sale. Although there is no stated expectation that the investments will be sold within one year, the investments are available for use, if needed, and accordingly are classified as short-term. Such investments are carried at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of other accumulated comprehensive income or loss.
Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company classified its investments as
held-to-maturity
and carried such investments at amortized cost. Investments with remaining maturities of less than one year were classified as short-term and investments classified as long-term had maturities of one year to five years.

Fair Value Measurements:
The accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes valuationvaluati
o
n inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of three levels:
Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
The following table presents information about the Company’s financial instruments that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 20192020 and Dec

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturities of the respective instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s line of credit approximates fair value. If the Company’s line of credit was measured at fair value, it would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Patient
service
revenue is recognized at the time services are provided by the Company’s affiliated physicians. The Company’s performance obligations related to the delivery of services to patients are satisfied at the time of service. Accordingly, there are no performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period with respect to patient service revenue. Almost all of the Company’s patient service revenue is reimbursed by government-sponsored healthcare programs (“GHC Programs”) and third-party insurance payors. Payments for services rendered to the Company’s patients are generally less than billed charges. The Company monitors its revenue and receivables from these sources and records an estimated contractual allowance to properly account for the anticipated differences between billed and reimbursed amounts.
10

Accordingly, patient service revenue is presented net of an estimated provision for contractual adjustments and uncollectibles. The Company estimates allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectibles on accounts receivable based upon historical experience and other factors, including days sales outstanding (“DSO”) for accounts receivable, evaluation of expected adjustments and delinquency rates, past adjustments and collection experience in relation to amounts billed, an aging of accounts receivable, current contract and reimbursement terms, changes in payor mix and other relevant information. Contractual adjustments result from the difference between the physician rates for services performed and the reimbursements by GHC Programs and third-party insurance payors for such services.
Collection of patient service revenue the Company expects to receive is normally a function of providing complete and correct billing information to the GHC Programs and third-party insurance payors within the various filing deadlines and typically occurs within 30 to 60 days of billing.
Some of the Company’s hospital agreements require hospitals to pay the Company administrative fees. Some agreements provide for fees if the hospital does not generate sufficient patient volume in order to guarantee that the Company receives a specified minimum revenue level. The Company also receives fees from hospitals for administrative services performed by its affiliated physicians providing medical director or other services at the hospital.

consideration of $
31.5
$2.1 million, comprised of
which $1.9 million was paid in cash and $0.2 million was recorded as a contingent consideration of $31.2 
million and accrued purchase consideration of $
0.3 
million. These acquisitionsliability. This acquisition expanded the Company’s national network of physician practices. In connection with these acquisitions,this acquisition, the Company recorded
non-deductible
goodwill of $22.7$0.8 million and other intangible assets consisting primarily of physician and hospital agreements of $8.8$1.3 million. The Company expects that the goodwill recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 will be deductible for tax purposes.
Divestiture of
the
Radiology Services Medical Group
On September 
109
,
 2020, the Company entered into a
securities purchase
agreement with Radiology Partners, Inc., pursuant to which Radiology Partners, Inc. will acquire the Company’s radiology services medical group for $885 million
cash, subject to certain customary adjustments.
 

In addition, the Company paid $9.5 million for contingent consideration in connection with prior period acquisitions. The Company also recorded a decrease of $6.6 million related to the change in fair value of a contingent consideration agreement for which the probability of the achievement of certain performance measures was updated during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This change in fair value of contingent consideration was recorded within operating expenses.
6.Goodwill:
Goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level on at least an annual basis, in accordance with the subsequent measurement provisions of the accounting guidance for goodwill. Consistent with prior years, the Company performed its annual impairment test in the third quarter, specifically as of July 31, 2019. The Company changed its management structure during the third quarter to combine its two historical operating segments into a single unified physician services operating segment. However, for goodwill testing purposes, the Company determined that its reporting units would be represented by the components that underly the unified physician services operating segment. The reporting units represent the service line medical groups of Women’s and Children’s, anesthesiology and radiology.
The Company used a combination of income and market-based valuation approaches to determine the fair value of its reporting units
.
B
ased on the analysis performed
,
the Company recorded a
non-cash
impairment charge of $1.30 billion during the three months ended September 30,
2019, nearly all of which related
to its
a
nesthesiology reporting unit.
Recognition of the non-cash charge against goodwill resulted in a tax benefit which generated an additional deferred tax asset
of 
$147.2 million
that increased the fair value of the reporting units. An incremental non-cash charge is then required to reduce the reporting units to their previously determined fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded the incremental non-cash charge of $147.2 million for a total non-cash charge of $1.45 billion.
The primary factors driving the
non-cash
impairment charge were
(i) the change in management structure effective during the third quarter resulting in reporting units one level below the Company’s single physician services operating segment, which is also its single reportable segment,
(ii
) the decrease in the Company’s share price used in the market capitalization reconciliation and
(iii
) changes in the assumptions used in the valuation analysis, specifically the discount rate used in the cash flow analysis
which included a company

specific risk premium
.
The Company’s goodwill balance
after the non-cash impairment charge
at September 30, 2019 was $2.63 billion.

In addition, in accordance with accounting guidance for discontinued operations, the expected divestiture of the management services service line was deemed to represent a fundamental strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations, and accordingly, the operating results of the service line were reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 with prior periods recast to conform with the current period presentation.

Divestiture of
 the
 
Anesthesiology Services Medical Group
On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an affiliate of North American Partners in Anesthesia (“NAPA”) to divest the Company’s anesthesiology services medical group, and the transaction closed on May 6, 2020. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement, at the closing of the transaction, the Company received a cash payment of $50.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments, as well as a contingent economic interest in NAPA with a value ranging from $0 to $250 million based upon the multiple of invested capital returned to NAPA’s owners upon exit of the investment. The Company will begin to receive a payment on its economic interest at an exit multiple of 2.0, with such payment reaching $250 million at an exit multiple of 5.0. In addition, the Company retained the accounts receivable of the anesthesiology services medical group, which net of various other working capital items, approximated $110.0 million
at March 31, 2020.
    
The
operating results of the anesthesiology services medical group service line were reported as a component of discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
A single
anesthesiology
practice was not included in the divestiture of the anesthesiology services medical group, and
continues to operate as an affiliate of the Company. Its
results of operations are reflected in the three months ended September 30, 2020 while the incremental loss on sale
of the anesthesiology services medical group
recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2020 reflects a true up of various divested account balances during the third quarter of 2020.
The total preliminary loss on sale
of the anesthesiology services medical group
recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $648.7 million. Upon completion of a valuation for the contingent economic interest and working capital
true-up,
final net proceeds will be determined, and the Company will adjust the loss on sale at that time. In addition, as a result of the sale, the Company currently estimates that it will generate an approximately $1.68 billion capital loss carryforward
that will expire
in 2025. Based on management’s determination that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits related to this loss carryforward will not be realized, the Company has provided an approximately $419.0 million valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2020.

Divestiture of MedData
The Company divested of
its
management services organization, MedData, in October 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a net incremental loss on the sale of MedData of $5.8 million, primarily for the finalization of certain transaction related expenses, a working capital
true-up
and incremental reserves related to indemnification matters, partially offset by the completion of its preliminary valuation for the contingent economic consideration. This incremental loss is reflected as a component of discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The operating results of MedData were reported as a component of discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The net decrease in accrued salaries and bonuses of $36.8$35.1 million, from December 31, 20182019 to September 30, 2019,2020, is primarily due to the payment of performance-based incentive compensation, principally to the Company’s affiliated physicians, partially offset by performance-based incentive compensation accrued during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020. A majority of the Company’s payments for performance-based incentive compensation is paid annually during the first quarter.

Leases:
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting guidance using the modified retrospective method of applying the new guidance at the adoption date. The Company elected practical expedients permitted under the transition provisions, which allowed the Company to carryforward historical assessments of whether contracts are or contain leases and lease classification. Beginning with January 1, 2019, the Company’s financial position is presented under the new guidance, while the prior period financial statements were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous guidance.
The Company primarily leases property under operating leases and has one material equipment operating lease for an aircraft. The Company’s property leases are primarily for its regional, medical and business offices, storage space and temporary housing for medical staff.
For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related asset and obligation at the present value of the lease payment using a discount rate that reflects the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate. Certain of the Company’s leases include rental escalation clauses and renewal options that are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate. Operating leases for office equipment are not material, and therefore are excluded from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance leases are not material but will continue to be reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets with the
right-of-use
assets included in property and equipment, net, and the liabilities included in current portion of long-term debt and finance lease obligations.
The table below presents the operating lease-related

goodwill impairment charge recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Common and Common Equivalent Shares:
Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of outstanding restricted stock, deferred stock and stock options and is calculated using the treasury stock method.
The calculation of shares used in the basic and diluted net income per common share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 20182019 is as follows (in thousands):

Stock Incentive Plans and Stock Purchase Plans:
On May 16, 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved theThe Company’s Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Amended and Restated“A&R 2008 Incentive Plan”). The amendments, among other things, increased the number of shares of common stock reserved for delivery under the under the Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Plan from 19,500,000 shares to 27,775,000 shares, as well as extended the expiration date to ten years from the effective date of approval. The Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, and other stock-related awards and performance awards that may be settled in cash, stock or other property.
Under the Amended and RestatedA&R 2008 Incentive Plan, options to purchase shares of common stock may be granted at a price not less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The options must be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant and generally become exercisable on a pro rata basis over a three-year period from the date of grant. The Company
issues new shares of its common stock upon exercise of its stock options. Restricted stock awards generally vest over periods of three years upon the fulfillment of specified service-based conditions and in certain instances performance-based conditions. Deferred stock awards generally vest upon the satisfaction of specified performance-based conditions and service-based conditions. The Company recognizes compensation expense related to its restricted stock, and deferred stock awards and stock options ratably over the corresponding vesting periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, the Company granted 1,112,7731.4 million shares of restricted stock and 1.0 million
shares
of stock underlying 
non-qualified
stock options to its employees and
non-employee
directors under the Amended and RestatedA&R 2008 Incentive Plan. At September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had 8.25.0 million shares available for future grants and awards under its Amended and Restatedthe A&R 2008 Incentive Plan.
Under the Company’s 1996
Non-Qualified
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “ESPP”), employees are permitted to purchase the Company’s common stock at 85% of market value on January 1st, April 1st, July 1st and October 1st of each year. Under the Company’s 2015
Non-Qualified
Stock Purchase Plan (the “SPP”), certain eligible
non-employee
service providers are permitted to purchase the Company’s common stock at 90% of market value on January 1st, April 1st, July 1st and October 1st of each year.
14

Each of the ESPP and the SPP provide for the issuance of an aggregate of 2.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock less the number of shares of common stock purchased under the other plan. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for the discount received by participating employees and
non-employee
service providers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, approximately 0.4 million shares in the aggregate were issued under the ESPP and SPP. At September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had approximately 1.20.6 million shares in the aggregate reserved for issuance under the ESPP and SPP.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $8.0$4.5 million and $29.0$18.2 million, and $8.8$7.6 million and $28.8$27.6 million, respectively.

Common Stock Repurchase Programs:
In July 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock up to an amount sufficient to offset the dilutive impact from the issuance of shares under the Company’s equity compensation programs. The share repurchase program allows the Company to make open market purchases from
time-to-time
based on general economic and market conditions and trading restrictions. The repurchase program also allows for the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock to offset the dilutive impact from the issuance of shares, if any, related to the Company’s acquisition program. No shares were purchased under this program during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020.
In August 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of the Company’s common stock in addition to its existing share repurchase program, of which $250.0$107.2 million remained available for repurchase as of December 31, 2018.2019. Under this share repurchase program, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, the Company repurchasedwithheld approximately 5.10.5 million shares of its common stock for $144.9 million, inclusive of 83,341 shares withheld to satisfy minimum statutory withholding obligations of $2.1$8.5 million in connection with the vesting of restricted stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.and deferred stock.
The Company intends to utilize various methods to effect any future share repurchases, including, among others, open market purchases and accelerated share repurchase programs. The amount and timing of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including general economic and market conditions and trading restrictions.

Commitments and Contingencies:
The Company expects that audits, inquiries and investigations from government authorities and agencies will occur in the ordinary course of business. Such audits, inquiries and investigations and their ultimate resolutions, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of its securities. The Company has not included an accrual for these matters as of September 30, 20192020 in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as the variables affecting any potential eventual liability depend on the currently unknown facts and circumstances that arise out of, and are specific to, any particular future audit, inquiry and investigation and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company becomes involved in pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which involve claims of medical malpractice related to medical services provided by the Company’s affiliated physicians. The Company’s contracts with hospitals generally require the Company to indemnify them and their affiliates for losses resulting from the negligence of the Company’s affiliated physicians. The Company may also become subject to other lawsuits which could involve large claims and significant costs. The Company believes, based upon a review of pending actions and proceedings, that the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of its securities. The outcome of such actions and proceedings, however, cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of its securities.
Although the Company currently maintains liability insurance coverage intended to cover professional liability and certain other claims, the Company cannot assure that its insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against it in the future where the outcomes of such claims are unfavorable. With respect to professional liability risk, the Company generally self-insures a portion of this risk through its wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary. Liabilities in excess of the Company’s insurance coverage, including coverage for professional liability and certain other claims, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of its securities.

Subsequent Event:
On October 10, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an affiliate of Frazier Healthcare Partners to divest of the Company’s management services organization, which operates as MedData. The transaction closed on October 31, 2019. Pursuant to the terms and conditions
 of the agreement, at the closing of the t

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations, as well as our liquidity and capital resources, for the periods described. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report. In addition, reference is made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 201920, 2020 (the “2018“2019 Form
10-K”).
As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “MEDNAX”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the parent company, MEDNAX, Inc., a Florida corporation, and the consolidated subsidiaries through which its businesses are actually conducted (collectively, “MDX”), together with MDX’s affiliated business corporations or professional associations, professional corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships (“affiliated professional contractors”). Certain subsidiaries of MDX have contracts with our affiliated professional contractors, which are separate legal entities that provide physician services in certain states and Puerto Rico. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see the Company’s 20182019 Form
10-K,
including Item 1A, Risk Factors, and Item 1A. Risk Factors below, for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements. In addition, please see “Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” below.
Overview
MEDNAX is a leading provider of physician services including newborn, anesthesia, maternal-fetal, radiology and teleradiology, pediatric cardiology and other pediatric subspecialty care. Our national network is comprised of affiliated physicians who provide clinical care in 39 states and Puerto Rico. Our affiliated physicians provide neonatal clinical care, primarily within hospital-based neonatal intensive care units, to babies born prematurely or with medical complications; anesthesia care to patients in connection with surgical and other procedures, as well as pain management; radiology services including diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology;complications and maternal-fetal and obstetrical medical care to expectant mothers experiencing complicated pregnancies primarily in areas where our affiliated neonatal physicians practice. Our network also includes other pediatric subspecialists, including those who provide pediatric intensive care, pediatric cardiology care, hospital-based pediatric care, pediatric surgical care, pediatric ear, nose and throat, pediatric ophthalmology and pediatric urology services. MEDNAX also provides teleradiology services in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico through a network of affiliated radiologists. In addition to our national physician network, we provide services nationwide to healthcare facilities and physicians, including ours, through a consulting services company. MEDNAX divested its anesthesiology services medical group on May 6, 2020 and on September 9, 2020 entered into an agreement to divest of its radiology services medical group, which provides radiology services including diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology, as well as teleradiology services through a network of affiliated radiologists.
Coronavirus Pandemic
(COVID-19)
COVID-19
and related “stay at home” and social distancing measures implemented across the country have significantly impacted demand for medical services provided by our affiliated clinicians.     Beginning in
mid-March
2020, we experienced a significant decline in the number of elective surgeries at the facilities where our affiliated clinicians provided anesthesia services. Much of this decline was due to the closure of operating suites or facilities following federal advisories to cancel
non-urgent
procedures and the prohibition of such procedures by several states. Within our radiology service line, orders for radiological studies declined by a meaningful amount from historically normal levels, with much of this reduction focused in
non-urgent
studies. Our affiliated office-based practices, which specialize in maternal-fetal medicine, pediatric cardiology, and numerous pediatric subspecialties, experienced a significant elevation of appointment cancellations compared to historical normal levels. At this time, we have not experienced, nor do we currently anticipate, any significant impact to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patient volumes as a result of
COVID-19.
Overall, our operating results since
mid-March
2020 have been significantly impacted by the
COVID-19
pandemic, but volumes did begin to normalize in May 2020 and substantially recovered during the month of June 2020. We divested our anesthesiology services medical group in May 2020, where operating results were significantly impacted by
COVID-19.
We have also entered into an agreement to divest our radiology services medical group, where operating results were meaningfully impacted by
COVID-19.
We implemented a number of actions to preserve financial flexibility and partially mitigate the significant impact of
COVID-19.
These steps included a suspension of most activities related to our transformational and restructuring programs, limiting these expenditures to those that provide essential support for our response to
COVID-19.
In addition, (i) we temporarily reduced executive and key management base salaries, including 50% reductions in salaries for our named executive officers through June 30, 2020; (ii) our Board of Directors agreed to forego their annual cash retainer and cash meeting payments, also through June 30, 2020; (iii) we enacted a combination of salary reductions and furloughs for
non-clinical
employees; and (iv) we enacted significant operational and practice-specific expense reduction plans across our clinical operations.
We also implemented a variety of solutions across specialties to support clinicians and patients during this pandemic, including
Clinician Shortage Support
Pediatric clinicians are lending their expertise to help fulfill the need for added adult care.
Strengthening of Supply Chain
MEDNAX is helping to address the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) by partnering with vendors across industries to source high filtration respirators, surgical masks and other forms of PPE for protective use.
Expanded Virtual Care Offerings
16

Utilizing VSee, an internationally recognized telehealth platform, MEDNAX has deployed a national multi-specialty virtual clinic to expand its telehealth offerings and make virtual care available to its clinical workforce, enabling continued patient consults and clinician collaboration while minimizing
COVID-19
exposure.
Early Virus Detection Using Cutting-Edge Imaging Diagnostic Tools
MEDNAX Radiology Solutions is leading early detection efforts through chest imaging. vRad, a MEDNAX company, diagnosed one of the first
COVID-19
patients in the United States via chest computed tomography (“CT”), which showed findings consistent with a severe acute respiratory viral infection. In the absence of laboratory testing kits, chest CT can serve as a diagnostic tool. In addition, MEDNAX Radiology Solutions is refining natural language processing (“NLP”) to identify the incidence of viral pneumonia and typical findings of the
COVID-19
virus in the lungs via chest CT across the proprietary MEDNAX Imaging Platform and inference engine, which is connected to more than 2,000 partner facilities across the country. The NLP is run retrospectively to monitor the amount and rate of increase of suspected chest CT findings for
COVID-19
and viral pneumonia, supporting faster treatment. If successful, this cutting-edge diagnostic tool could serve as an effective tracker of the disease’s progression throughout the country and provide new insights for imaging findings for
COVID-19
patients.
Virtual Forum to Provide Clinician Support
To support frontline clinicians while abiding by social distancing recommendations, MEDNAX has created a virtual doctors’ lounge for clinicians across specialties to connect and socialize in the absence of typical
in-person
lounges, helping to boost morale and preserve a sense of normalcy.
We currently expect that
COVID-19
will continue to materially impact our financial results, but due to the rapidly evolving environment and continued uncertainties surrounding the timeline of and impacts from
COVID-19,
we are unable to predict the ultimate impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities at this time.
CARES Act
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) into law. The CARES Act is a relief package intended to assist many aspects of the American economy, including providing up to $100 billion in aid to the healthcare industry to reimburse healthcare providers for lost revenue and expenses attributable to
COVID-19.
The remaining $70 billion in aid is intended to focus on providers in areas particularly impacted by
COVID-19,
rural providers, providers of services with lower shares of Medicare reimbursement or who predominantly serve the Medicaid population, and providers requesting reimbursement for the treatment of uninsured Americans. It is unknown what, if any, portion of the remaining healthcare industry funding on the CARES Act our affiliated physician practices will qualify for and receive.     The Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) is administering this program, and our affiliated physician practices within continuing operations have received an aggregate of approximately $20.0 million in relief payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We have applications pending for certain affiliated physician practices for incremental relief beyond what has been received.
In addition, the CARES Act also provides for deferred payment of the employer portion of social security taxes through the end of 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount due December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due December 31, 2022. We intend to utilize this deferral option throughout 2020.
Divestiture of the ManagementAnesthesiology Services OrganizationMedical Group
On November 1, 2018, we announced the initiation of a process to potentially divest our management services service line, which operates as MedData, to allow us to focus on our core physician services business. We determined that the criterion to classify the management services service line as assets and liabilities held for sale within our consolidated balance sheets were met at March 31, 2019 and continue to be met at September 30, 2019. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the management services service line were classified as current assets and liabilities held for sale as of September 30, 2019. In addition, in accordance with the accounting guidance for discontinued operations, the expected divestiture of the management services service line was deemed to represent a fundamental strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations, and accordingly, the operating results of the service line were reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
On October 10, 2019,May 6, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an affiliate of North American Partners in Anesthesia (“NAPA”) to divest ofour anesthesiology services medical group, and the management services organization. The transaction closed on October 31, 2019.May 6, 2020. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement, at the closing of the transaction, we received a cash payment of $250.0$50.0 million, subject to certain net working capital and similarcustomary adjustments, as well as a contingent economic considerationinterest in an indirect holding companyNAPA with a value ranging from $0 to $250 million based upon the multiple of invested capital returned to NAPA’s owners upon exit of the buyer,investment.

Reclassifications
Reclassifications have been made to certain prior period financial statements and footnote disclosures to conform to the current period presentation, specifically to reflect the impact of the managementanesthesiology services organizationmedical group and radiology services medical group being classified as assets held for sale and discontinued operations.
2019 Acquisition Activity
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we completed the acquisition of two neonatology physician group practices, two maternal-fetal medicine physician group practices and two other pediatric subspecialty physician practices. Based on our experience, we expect that we can improve the results of acquired physician practices through improved managed care contracting, improved collections, identification of growth initiatives and operating and cost savings based upon the significant infrastructure that we have developed.17
Goodwill Impairment Charge
Goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level on at least an annual basis, in accordance with the subsequent measurement provisions of the accounting guidance for goodwill. Consistent with prior years, we performed our annual impairment test in the third quarter, specifically as of July 31, 2019. We used a combination of income and market-based valuation approaches to determine the fair value of our reporting units. Based on the analysis performed, we recorded a
non-cash
impairment charge of $1.30 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2019, nearly all of which related to our anesthesiology reporting unit. Recognition of the
non-cash
charge against goodwill


Shared Services and Operational Initiatives
We have developed a number of strategic initiatives across our organization, in both our shared services functions and our operational infrastructure, with a goal of generating improvements in our general and administrative expenses and our operational infrastructure. In our shared services departments, we are focused on improving processes, using our resources more efficiently and utilizing our scale more effectively to improve cost and service performance across our operations. Within our operational infrastructure, we have developed specific operational plans within each of our service lines and affiliated physician practices, with specific milestones and regular reporting, with the goal of generating long-term operational improvements and fostering even greater collaboration across our national medical group. We currently intend to make a series of information-technology and other investments to improve processes and performance across our enterprise, using both internal and external resources. We are targeting annualized financial improvements related to these initiatives of $40 million within general and administrative expenses and $80 million in operational improvements by the end of 2019. We achieved the goals we established for these initiatives of $60 million in improvements in 2018, comprised of $25 million within shared services and $35 million in operational improvements, and we remain committed to achieve the remaining improvements by the end of 2019, although there is no assurance that these improvements will be obtained. We believe these strategic initiatives, together with our continued plans to invest in focused, targeted and strategic organic and acquisitive growth, position us well to deliver a differentiated value proposition to our stakeholders while continuing to provide the highest quality care for our patients.
Senior Notes
In February 2019, we completed a private offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior unsecured notes due 2027 (the “Additional 2027 Notes”), which are treated as a single class together with the 6.25% senior unsecured notes due 2027 that we issued in November 2018 (“the Initial 2027 Notes” and, collectively with the Additional 2027 Notes, the “2027 Notes”). Our obligations under the 2027 Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by the same subsidiaries and affiliated professional contractors that guarantee our credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). We used the net proceeds of approximately $491.7 million from the issuance of the Additional 2027 Notes to repay a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under our Credit Agreement. Interest on the 2027 Notes accrues at the rate of 6.25% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15.
Common Stock Repurchase Programs
In July 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of shares of our common stock up to an amount sufficient to offset the dilutive impact from the issuance of shares under our equity compensation programs. The share repurchase program allows us to make open market purchases from
time-to-time
based on general economic and market conditions and trading restrictions. The repurchase program also allows for the repurchase of shares of our common stock to offset the dilutive impact from the issuance of shares, if any, related to our acquisition program. We did not repurchase any shares under this program during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
In August 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of shares of our common stock in addition to our existing share repurchase program, of which $250.0 million remained available as of December 31, 2018. Under this share repurchase program, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased approximately 5.1 million shares of our common stock for $144.9 million, inclusive of 83,341 shares withheld to satisfy minimum statutory withholding obligations of $2.1 million in connection with the vesting of restricted stock.
We may utilize various methods to effect any future share repurchases, including, among others, open market purchases and accelerated share repurchase programs.
General Economic Conditions and Other Factors
Our operations and performance depend significantly on economic conditions. During the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, the percentage of our patient service revenue being reimbursed under government-sponsored or funded healthcare programs (the “GHC(“GHC Programs”) was slightly favorableincreased as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. If, however, economic2019. Economic conditions in the United States deteriorate, we could experience shifts toward GHC Programs, (“U.S.”) have deteriorated, primarily as a result of
COVID-19,
and patient volumes could decline. Further, wehave declined. We could experience and have experiencedadditional shifts toward GHC Programs if changes occur in population demographics within geographic locations in which we provide services. We have also experienced,services, including an increase in unemployment and could continue to experience, a shift toward GHC Programs, particularly in anesthesia care.underemployment as well as losses of commercial health insurance. Payments received from GHC Programs are substantially less for equivalent services than payments received from commercial insurance payors. In addition, due to the rising costs of managed care premiums and patient responsibility amounts, we may experience lower net revenue resulting from increased bad debt due to patients’ inability to pay for certain services.

Transformation and Restructuring Initiatives
We have developed a number of strategic initiatives across our organization, in both our shared services functions and our operational infrastructure, with a goal of generating improvements in our general and administrative expenses and our operational infrastructure. We have broadly classified these workstreams in four broad categories including practice operations, revenue cycle management, information technology and human resources. We have included the expenses, which in certain cases represent estimates, related to such activity on a separate line item in our consolidated statements. In our shared services departments, we were focused on improving processes, using our resources more efficiently and utilizing our scale more effectively to improve cost and service performance across our operations. Within our operational infrastructure, we developed specific operational plans within each of our service lines and affiliated physician practices, with specific milestones and regular reporting, with the goal of generating long-term operational improvements and fostering even greater collaboration across our national medical group. We intended to make a series of information-technology and other investments to improve processes and performance across our enterprise, using both internal and external resources. A significant amount of transformational and restructuring activities were related to our anesthesiology services medical group, which was divested in May 2020. We believed these strategic initiatives, together with our continued plans to invest in focused, targeted and strategic organic and acquisitive growth, positioned us well to deliver a differentiated value proposition to our stakeholders while continuing to provide the highest quality care for our patients.

We originally expected these activities to continue through at least 2020. However, as discussed above, beginning in April 2020, we reduced the scope of our transformation and restructuring related initiatives unless they are initiatives that provide essential support for our response to
COVID-19.
Various expenses related to our executive management and board restructuring in July 2020 were recorded as transformation and restructuring related expenses during the third quarter of 2020.
Healthcare Reform
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”) contains a number of provisions that have affected us and, absent amendment or repeal, may continue to affect us over the next several years. These provisions include the establishment of health insurance exchanges to facilitate the purchase of qualified health plans, expanded Medicaid eligibility, subsidized insurance premiums and additional requirements and incentives for businesses to provide healthcare benefits. Other provisions have expanded the scope and reach of the Federal Civil False Claims Act and other healthcare fraud and abuse laws. Moreover, we could be affected by potential changes to various aspects of the ACA, including changes to subsidies, healthcare insurance marketplaces and Medicaid expansion.
The ACA remains subject to continuing legislative and administrative flux and uncertainty. In 2017, Congress unsuccessfully sought to replace substantial parts of the ACA with different mechanisms for facilitating insurance coverage in the commercial and Medicaid markets. Congress may again attempt to enact substantial or target changes to the ACA in the future. Additionally, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) has administratively revised a number of provisions and may seek to advance additional significant changes through regulation, guidance and enforcement in the future.
At the end of 2017, Congress repealed the part of the ACA that required most individuals to purchase and maintain health insurance or face a tax penalty. Thepenalty, known as the individual mandate. In light of these changes, in December 2018,
mid-term
elections a federal district court in November 2018 changed the balance of power in Congress and the resultsTexas declared that key portions of the upcomingACA were inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution and that the entire ACA is invalid as a result. Several states appealed this decision, and in December 2019, a federal court of appeals upheld the district court’s conclusion that part of the ACA is unconstitutional but remanded for further evaluation whether in light of this defect the entire ACA must be invalidated. In November 2020, elections may change the directionSupreme Court of future health-related legislation. Several candidates for President have proposed legislation which would substantially modify the delivery of healthcare in the United States is expected to hear this matter and could invalidate portions of, or all of, the ACA. Changes resulting from these proceedings could have a material impact on our business. In the meantime, it also is possible that as a result of these actions, enrollment in healthcare exchanges could decline.
In November 2020, there will be federal and state elections that could affect which persons and parties occupy the Office of the President of the United States, control one or both chambers of Congress and many states’ governors and legislatures. The candidates running for President of the United States may propose changes to the U.S. healthcare system, including repealingexpanding government-funded healthcare insurance options, “Medicare for All” or eliminating the ACA in favor of an alternative plan. Any legislative or administrative change to the current healthcare financing system could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and replacing all private insurance coverage with a government-sponsored plan such as Medicare.the trading price of our securities.
If the ACA is repealed or further substantially modified by judicial, legislative or administrative action, or if implementation of certain aspects of the ACA are diluted, delayed or replaced with a “Medicare for All”All,” public option or single payor system, such repeal, modification or delay may impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities. We are unable to predict the impact of any repeal, modification or delay in the implementation of the ACA, including the repeal of the individual mandate or implementation of a single payor system, on us at this time.
18

In addition to the potential impacts to the ACA, under the current Administration and Congress, there could be more sweeping changes to other GHC Programs, such as a change into the structure of Medicaid. In the past, Congress and the Administration have sought to convert Medicaid by converting it into a block grant or institutingto institute “per capita caps,” whichspending caps”, among other things. These changes, if implemented, could eliminate the guarantee that everyone who is eligible and applies for benefits would receive them and could potentially give states sweeping new authority to restrict eligibility, cut benefits and make it more difficult for people to enroll. Additionally, several states are considering and pursuing changes to their Medicaid programs, such as requiring recipients to engage in employment or education activities as a condition of eligibility for most adults, disenrolling recipients for failure to pay a premium, or adjusting premium amounts based on income.
As a result, we cannot predict with any assurance the ultimate effect of these laws and resulting changes to payments under GHC Programs, nor can we provide any assurance that they will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities. Further, any fiscal tightening impacting GHC Programs or changes to the structure of any GHC Programs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities.
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act
Medicare pays for most physician services based upon a national service-specific fee schedule. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (“MACRA”) provides physicians 0.5% annual increases in reimbursement through 2019 asrequires Medicare transitions to a payment system designed to reward physicians for the quality of care provided, rather than the quantity of procedures performed. MACRA requires physiciansproviders to choose to participate in one of two payment formulas, Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (“MIPS”) or Alternative Payment Models (“APMs”). Effective January 1, 2019,Beginning in 2020, MIPS allows eligible physicians to receive incentive payments based on the achievement of certain quality and cost metrics, among other measures, and be reduced for those who are underperforming against those same metrics and measures. As an alternative, physicians can choose to participate in an advanced APMs,APM, and physicians who are meaningful participants in APMs will receive bonus payments from Medicare pursuant to the law. MACRA also remains subject to review and potential modification by Congress, as well as shifting regulatory requirements established by CMS. We currently anticipate that our affiliated physicians who are eligible to participate in the MIPS program will continue to be eligible to receive MIPS bonus payments, in 2019 through participation in the MIPS, although the amounts of such bonus payments are not expected to be material. We will continue to operationalize the provisions of MACRA and assess any further changes to the law or additional regulations enacted pursuant to the law.
We cannot predict the ultimate effect that these changes will have on us, nor can we provide any assurance that its provisions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities.
Medicaid Expansion
The ACA also allows states to expand their Medicaid programs through federal payments that fund most of the cost of increasing the Medicaid eligibility income limit from a state’s historic eligibility levels to 133% of the federal poverty level. To date, 3638 states and the District of Columbia have expanded Medicaid eligibility to cover this additional
low-income
patient population, and other states are considering expansion. All of the states in which we operate, however, already cover children in the first year of life and pregnant women if their household income is at or below 133% of the federal poverty level.


“Surprise” Billing Legislation
“Surprise” medical bills arise when an insured patient receives care from an
out-of-network
provider resulting in costs that were not expected by the patient. The bill is a “surprise” either because the patient did not expect to receive care from an
out-of-network
provider, or because their cost-sharing responsibility is higher than the patient expected.     For the past several years, state legislatures have been enacting laws that are intended to address the problems associated with surprise billing or balance billing.
More recently, Congress and President Trump have proposed bipartisan solutions to address this circumstance, either by working in tandem with, or in the absence of, applicable state laws. Several committees of jurisdiction in the U.S. House of Representatives and in the U.S. Senate have proposed solutions to address surprise medical bills, but it is unclear whether any of the proposed solutions will become law. In addition, state legislatures and regulatory bodies continue to address and modify existing laws on the same issue. Any state or federal legislation on the topic of surprise billing may have an unfavorable impact on
out-of-network
reimbursement that we receive. In addition, actual or prospective legislative changes in this area may impact, and may have impacted, our ability to contract with private payors at favorable reimbursement rates or remain in contract with such payors.
Although our
out-of-network
revenue is currently immaterial,not material, we cannot predict the ultimate effect that these changes will have on us, nor can we provide any assurance that future legislation or regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities.
Medicare Sequestration
The Budget Control Act of 2011, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, required
across-the-board
cuts (“sequestrations”) to Medicare reimbursement rates. These annual reductions of 2%, on average, apply to mandatory and discretionary spending through 2025. Unless Congress acts in the future to modify these sequestrations, Medicare reimbursements will be reduced by 2%, on average, annually. However, thisIn connection with the CARES Act, the Medicare sequestrations were suspended beginning on May 1, 2020 and are expected to remain suspended through December 31, 2020. Aside from the suspension, the reduction in Medicare reimbursement rates is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the trading price of our securities.

Non-GAAP
Measures
In our analysis of our results of operations, we use certain
non-GAAP
financial measures. Prior to January 1, 2019, we reported earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). During 2019, weWe have incurred and anticipate we will continue to incur certain expenses related to transformational and restructuring related expenses that are expected to be project-based and periodic in nature. In addition, we have reported our management services as assets held for sale and discontinued operations beginning with the first quarter of 2019. Accordingly, beginning with the first quarter of 2019, we began reporting Adjusted EBITDAearnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) from continuing operations, defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and transformational and restructuring related expenses. Adjusted earnings per common share (“Adjusted EPS”) from continuing operations has also been further adjusted for these items and beginning with the first quarter of 2019 consists of diluted income (loss) from continuing operations per common and common equivalent share adjusted for amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and transformational and restructuring related expenses. Adjusted EPS from continuing operations is beinghas been further adjusted to reflect the impacts from discrete tax events. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS have also been adjusted for the
non-cash
goodwill impairment charge recorded during the third quarter of 2019. Historical periods do not include any material items that meet the current definition of transformational and restructuring related expenses or goodwill impairment, so although we are retrospectively presenting historical periods for the new definitions, we do not reflect any adjustments for these items.
We believe these measures, in addition to income (loss) from continuing operations, net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) from continuing operations per common and common equivalent share, provide investors with useful supplemental information to compare and understand our underlying business trends and performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. These measures should be considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, since these
non-GAAP
measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP, they are susceptible to varying calculations and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
For a reconciliation of each of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EPS from continuing operations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, refer to the tables below (in thousands, except per share data).

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 20192020 as Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 20182019
Our net revenue attributable to continuing operations was $888.7$460.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to $848.8$454.9 million for the same period in 2018.2019. The increase in revenue of $39.9$5.7 million, or 4.7%1.3%, was primarily attributable to an increase in same-unit net revenue and revenue from acquisitions.acquisitions, partially offset by a decline in same-unit revenue. Same units are those units at which we provided services for the entire current period and the entire comparable period. Same-unit net revenue grewdeclined by $34.8$1.7 million, or 4.2%0.4%. The increasedecline in same-unit net revenue was comprised of a net increasedecrease of $26.6$19.2 million, or 3.2%4.3%, fromrelated to patient service volumes, andpartially offset by a net increase of $8.2$17.5 million, or 1.0%3.9%, related tofrom net reimbursement-related factors. The increasedecrease in revenue from patient service volumes was related to increasesa decline across almost all our service lines driven by growth in anesthesiology, neonatology and other pediatric services, including newborn nursery, and radiology. primarily as a result of the continued impacts from
COVID-19.
The net increase in revenue related to net reimbursement-related factors was primarily due to approximately $14.2 million in CARES Act relief and modest increases fromimprovements in managed care contracting, an increase in administrative fees received from our hospital partners and an increasepartially offset by a decrease in revenue caused by the slight decreasean increase in the percentage of our patients enrolled in GHC programs.
Practice salaries and benefits attributable to continuing operations increased $31.0$8.6 million, or 5.2%2.9%, to $630.3$309.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to $599.3$301.3 million for the same period in 2018. This increase was primarily attributable to increased costs associated with physicians and other staff to support organic-growth initiatives and growth at our existing units as well as increases in malpractice expense due to unfavorable trends in claims experience.2019. Of the $31.0$8.6 million increase, $15.3 million was related to salaries and $15.7$5.6 million was related to benefits and incentive compensation.compensation, primarily bonus expense, and $3.0 million was related to salaries. We anticipate that we will continue to experience a higher rate of growth in clinician compensation expense at our existing units over historic averages, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities.


Practice supplies and other operating expenses attributable to continuing operations decreased $0.3$0.2 million, or 1.1%0.6%, to $26.9$22.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to $27.2$22.6 million for the same period in 2018.2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in other practice supply, rentoperating expenses as compared to the prior year, primarily related to decreased activity across many expense categories such as travel, office expenses and other costs.professional services resulting from the continued impacts of
COVID-19.
General and administrative expenses attributable to continuing operations primarily include all billing and collection functions and all other salaries, benefits, supplies and operating expenses not specifically relatedidentifiable to the
day-to-day
operations of our physician practices and services. General and administrative expenses were $102.4$66.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to $95.8$63.3 million for the same period in 2018. General2019. The increase of $3.0 million is primarily related to legal and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included the benefit from cost improvements as part of our sharedprofessional services initiative that wasfees, partially offset by an increasedecreases in legal expenses for ongoing litigation matters.compensation from net staffing reductions as well as decreases in general travel expenses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue was 11.5%14.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to 11.3%13.9% for the same period in 2018.2019. Certain general and administrative expenses related to corporate overhead represent various support services provided across the company, including approximately $10 million in costs related to support for the recently divested anesthesiology services medical group through a transition services agreement. Because a portion of such expenses were previously allocated to but not specifically identifiable to, the anesthesiology services medical group, they are required to be presented as continuing operations. Therefore, general and administrative expenses do not reflect potential general and administrative cost savings that may be achieved in future periods.
Transformational and restructuring related expenses attributable to continuing operations were $20.0$34.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to $12.8 million for the same period in 2019. Approximately $26.7 million of the expenses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2020 were for compensation-related expenses resulting from the restructuring changes in executive management and the board of directors, with the remainder primarily related tofor external consulting costs for various process improvement and restructuring initiatives.

Beginning in April 2020, we reduced the scope of our transformation and restructuring related initiatives unless they were initiatives critical to continuingour business operations was $1.45 billionor those that provide essential support for our response to
COVID-19.
Various activities related to executive management and board of directors restructuring were recorded as transformational and restructuring related expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2019, nearly all of which related to our anesthesiology service line. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
for additional information.2020.
Depreciation and amortization expense attributable to continuing operations decreased $2.6 million, or 11.7%, to $19.6was $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to $22.2$6.4 million for the same period in 2018, primarily related to a decrease in amortization expense underlying various finite lived intangible assets due to the expiration of amortization periods.2019.
LossIncome from operations attributable to continuing operations was $1.36 billiondecreased $28.1 million, or 57.9%, to $20.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to income from operations attributable to continuing operations of $104.2$48.6 million for the same period in 2018.2019. Our operating margin was (153.0)%4.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to 12.3%10.7% for the same period in 2018.2019. The decrease in our operating margin was primarily due to the decrease in revenue related to

Adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $0.91$0.37 for the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to $0.86$0.38 for the same period in 2018. The decrease of 8.9 million in our weighted average shares outstanding is primarily due to the impact of shares repurchased under a 2018 accelerated share repurchase program and through open market repurchase activity in 2018 and 2019.

Our net revenue attributable to continuing operations was $2.61$1.32 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared2020 and 2019. The slight decrease in revenue of $3.8 million, or 0.3%, was primarily attributable to $2.57 billion for the same periodunfavorable impacts from
COVID-19
on same-unit revenue, driven by declines in 2018. Thevolume, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $41.8 million, or 1.6%, was attributable to an increase in same-unit net revenue and revenue from acquisitions, partially offset by a decline in revenue from the

units at which we provided services for the entire current period and the entire comparable period. Same-unit net revenue grewdeclined by $55.0$25.3 million, or 2.2%1.9%. The increasedecline in same-unit net revenue was comprised of a net increasedecrease of $29.4$60.3 million, or 1.2%, from net reimbursement-related factors and a net increase of $25.6 million, or 1.0%4.6%, related to patient service volumes. volumes, partially offset by a net increase of $35.0 million, or 2.7%, from net reimbursement-related factors. The decrease in revenue from patient service volumes was primarily related to a decline across all our services, primarily as a result of
COVID-19.
The net increase in revenue related to net reimbursement-related factors was primarily due to favorable rate impacts from our radiology services,approximately $20.0 million in CARES Act relief, modest improvements in managed care contracting and an increase in administrative fees received from our hospital partners and an increase in revenue caused by the slight decrease in the percentage of our patients enrolled in GHC programs. The increase in revenue from patient service volumes was primarily related to growth across almost all of our services, driven by growth in neonatology and other pediatric services, including newborn nursery, and anesthesiology services.

Practice salaries and benefits attributable to continuing operations increased $64.5$28.5 million, or 3.6%3.2%, to $1.86 billion$909.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to $1.80 billion$880.7 million for the same period in 2018. This2019. The increase was primarily attributable to increased costs associated with physicians and other staff to support organic-growth initiatives, acquisition-related growth and growth at our existing units, of which $30.0$28.5 million was related to salaries and $34.5comprised of $22.7 million was related toin benefits and incentive compensation.compensation, primarily bonus expense and malpractice expense, and $5.8 million from salaries. We anticipate that we will continue to experience a higher rate of growth in clinician compensation expense at our existing units over historic averages, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities.
Practice supplies and other operating expenses attributable to continuing operations decreased $2.2$6.2 million, or 2.7%8.6%, to $80.8$66.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to $83.0$72.7 million for the same period in 2018.2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in other practice supply, rentoperating expenses as compared to the prior year, primarily related to decreased activity across many expense categories such as travel, office expenses and other costs.professional services resulting from impacts of
COVID-19,
primarily during the second quarter of 2020.
General and administrative expenses attributable to continuing operations primarily include all billing and collection functions and all other salaries, benefits, supplies and operating expenses not specifically relatedidentifiable to the

operations of our physician practices and services. General and administrative expenses were $307.7$194.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to $298.4$185.3 million for the same period in 2018.2019. The increase of $9.0 million is primarily related to legal and professional services fees, partially offset by decreases in compensation from net staffing reductions as well as decreases in general travel expenses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue was 11.8%14.7% for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,2020, as compared to 11.6%14.0% for the same period in 2018.2019. Certain general and administrative expenses related to corporate overhead represent various support services provided across the company, including approximately $13 million in costs related to support for the recently divested anesthesiology services medical group through a transition services agreement. Because a portion of such expenses were previously allocated to but not specifically identifiable to the anesthesiology services medical group, they are required to be presented as continuing operations. Therefore, general and administrative expenses do not reflect potential general and administrative cost savings that may be achieved in future periods.
Transformational and restructuring related expenses attributable to continuing operations were $51.0$60.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20192020, as compared to $32.0 million for the same period in 2019. Approximately $30.1 million of which $33.2 million related tothe expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were for external consulting costs for various process improvement and restructuring initiatives and $17.8approximately $26.7 million were for compensation-related expenses resulting from the restructuring changes in executive management and the board of directors, with the remainder for position eliminations and contract termination and other fees. Beginning in

COVID-19.
Various activities related to severance benefits for eliminated positionsexecutive management and board of directors restructuring were recorded as well as costs associated with contract terminations.
Goodwill impairment charge attributable to continuing operations was $1.45 billion fortransformational and restructuring related expenses during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019, nearly all of which related to our anesthesiology service line.

Operating Activities from Continuing Operations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, our net cash provided by operating activities for continuing operations was $210.8$71.6 million, compared to $150.4$36.2 million for the same period in 2018.2019. The net increase in cash provided of $60.4$35.4 million was primarily due to an increase in cash flow from accounts payable and accrued expenses,deferred income taxes payable and accounts receivable, partially offset by a decrease in cash flow from lower earnings.earnings and changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The increase in cash flow from accounts receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 was primarily due to decreases in ending accounts receivable balances at existing units due toand improvements in the timing of cash collections.
Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) is one of the key factors that we use to evaluate the condition of our accounts receivable and the related allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectibles. DSO reflects the timeliness of cash collections on billed revenue and the level of reserves on outstanding accounts receivable. Our DSO for continuing operations was 51.248.2 days at September 30, 20192020 as compared to 52.551.0 days at December 31, 2018.2019.

On March 28, 2019,25, 2020, we amended and restated our Credit Agreement to, reduceamong other things, (i) establish a deemed Consolidated EBITDA of $139.2 million for the sizesecond and third quarters of 2020, reflecting average Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the prior eight quarters (calculated for purposes of the revolving credit facility, extendCredit Agreement), which will be used in the maturitycalculation of rolling four consecutive quarter Consolidated EBITDA under the Credit Agreement, (ii) temporarily increase the maximum consolidated net leverage ratio required to be maintained by us from 4.50:1:00 to 5.00:1:00 for the second and third quarters of 2020 and 4.75:1:00 for the fourth quarter of 2020, before returning to 4.50:1:00 for the first quarter of 2021 and beyond, (iii) require that we maintain minimum availability under the Credit Agreement of $300.0 million through the third quarter of 2021, (iv) provide for a weekly repayment of borrowings under the Credit Agreement through the second quarter of 2021 using unrestricted cash on hand in excess of $300.0 million, plus a reserve for certain payables, and (v) temporarily restrict our ability to make other technical and conforming changes. As amended and restated,restricted payments under the Credit Agreement for the remainder of 2020, subject to certain exceptions.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, subject to the limitations discussed above, and includes a $37.5 million
sub-facility
for the issuance of letters of credit. The Credit Agreement matures on March 28, 2024 and is guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries and affiliated professional associations and corporations. At our


option, borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at (i) the alternate base rate (defined as the higher of (a) the prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (c) LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin rate ranging from 0.125% to 0.750% based on our consolidated leverage ratio or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin rate ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement also calls for other customary fees and charges, including an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.150% to 0.200% of the unused lending commitments, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and restrictions, including covenants that require us to maintain a minimum interest charge ratio, not to exceed a specified consolidated leverage ratio and to comply with laws, and restrictions on the ability to pay dividends and make certain other distributions, as specified therein. Failure to comply with these covenants would constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement, notwithstanding the ability of the company to meet its debt service obligations. The Credit Agreement also includes various customary remedies for the lenders following an event of default, including the acceleration of repayment of outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement.
At September 30, 2019,2020, we had anno outstanding principal balance of $209.8 million on our Credit Agreement. We also had outstanding letters of credit of $0.2 million which reduced the amount available on our Credit Agreement to $990.0$899.8 million at September 30, 2019.2020, after giving effect to the temporary reduction of the capacity of our Credit Agreement described above through September 30, 2021.
In February 2019, we completed a private offering of Additional 2027 Notes. At September 30, 2019, the outstanding balance on the 2027 Notes was $1.0 billion. We also2020, we had an outstanding principal balance of $750.0 million on our 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) and an outstanding principal balance of $1.0 billion on our 6.25% senior unsecured notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”). Our obligations under the 2023 Notes and the 2027 Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by the same subsidiaries and affiliated professional contractors that guarantee our Credit Agreement. Interest on the 2023 Notes accrues at the rate of 5.25% per annum, or $39.4 million, and is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1. Interest on the 2027 Notes accrues at the rate of 6.25% per annum, or $62.5 million, and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15.

The indenture under which the 2023 Notes and the 2027 Notes are issued, among other things, limits our ability to (1) incur liens and (2) enter into sale and lease-back transactions, and also limits our ability to merge or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, in all cases, subject to a number of customary exceptions. Although we are not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the 2023 Notes andor the 2027 Notes, upon the occurrence of a change in control of MEDNAX, we may be required to repurchase the 2023 Notes and the 2027 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes and the 2027 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest.
At September 30, 2019,2020, we believe we were in compliance, in all material respects, with the financial covenants and other restrictions applicable to us under the Credit Agreement and the 2023 Notes and the 2027 Notes. We believe we will be in compliance with these covenants throughout 2019.2020.
We maintain professional liability insurance policies with third-party insurers, subject to self-insured retention, exclusions and other restrictions. We self-insure our liabilities to pay self-insured retention amounts under our professional liability insurance coverage through a wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary. We record liabilities for self-insured amounts and claims incurred but not reported based on an actuarial valuation using historical loss information, claim emergence patterns and various actuarial assumptions. Our total liability related to professional liability risks for continuing operations at September 30, 20192020 was $266.6$297.8 million, of which $43.7$55.5 million is classified as a current liability within accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.Sheets. In addition, there is a corresponding insurance receivable of $29.8$23.6 million recorded as a component of other assets for certain professional liability claims that are covered by insurance policies.
We anticipate that funds generated from operations, together with our current cash on hand and funds available under our Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to finance our working capital requirements, fund anticipated acquisitions and capital expenditures, fund expenses related to our transformational and restructuring activities, fund our share repurchase programs and meet our contractual obligations for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to market risk primarily from exposure to changes in interest rates based on our financing, investing and cash management activities. We intend to manage interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed rate and variable rate debt. We borrow under our Credit Agreement at various interest rate options based on the Alternate Base Rate or LIBOR rate depending on certain financial ratios. At September 30, 2019, the2020, we had no outstanding principal balance on our Credit Agreement was $209.8 million, and considering this outstanding balance, a 1% change in interest rates would result in an impact to income before income taxes of approximately $2.1 million per year.Agreement.

13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2019.2020.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended September 30, 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We expect that audits, inquiries and investigations from government authorities and agencies will occur in the ordinary course of business. Such audits, inquiries and investigations and their ultimate resolutions, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities.
In the ordinary course of our business, we become involved in pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which involve claims of medical malpractice related to medical services provided by our affiliated physicians. Our contracts with hospitals generally require us to indemnify them and their affiliates for losses resulting from the negligence of our affiliated physicians and other clinicians. We may also become subject to other lawsuits that could involve large claims and significant defense costs. We believe, based upon a review of pending actions and proceedings, that the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the trading price of our securities. The outcome of such actions and proceedings, however, cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities.
Although we currently maintain liability insurance coverage intended to cover professional liability and certain other claims, we cannot assure that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against us in the future where the outcomes of such claims are unfavorable to us. With respect to professional liability risk, we self-insure a significant portion of this risk through our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary. Liabilities in excess of our insurance coverage, including coverage for professional liability and certain other claims, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities.
On July 10, 2018, a securities class action lawsuit was filed against our company and certain of our officers and a director in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Case No.
0:18-cv-61572-WPD)
that purports to state a claim for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule
10b-5
thereunder, based on statements made by the defendants primarily concerning our former anesthesiology business. The complaint was seeking unspecified damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and other costs. We filed a motion to dismiss in April 2019, which was granted in October 2019; however, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on October 25, 2019. We continueOn November 25, 2019, we filed a motion to believe this lawsuitdismiss the second amended complaint, and on February 7, 2020 a final order granting our motion to be without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it. The lawsuit is indismiss the early stages and, at this time, no assessment can be made as to its likely outcome or whether the outcome will be material to us.second amended complaint with prejudice was issued.
On March 20, 2019, a separate derivative action was filed by plaintiff Beverly Jackson on behalf of MEDNAX, Inc. against MEDNAX, Inc. and certain of its officers and directors in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida (Case Number
CACE-19-006253).
The plaintiff purportspurported to bring suit derivatively on behalf of our company against certain of our officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment. The derivative complaint repeatsrepeated many of the allegations in the securities class action described above. The derivativeWe filed a motion to dismiss in December 2019, and on March 16, 2020, an order granting our motion to dismiss without prejudice was issued. On April 6, 2020, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, seeks unspecified damages, restitution, attorneys’ fees and costson April 30, 2020, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On September 24, 2020, our motion to dismiss was granted, but the plaintiff was granted 20 days to amend their complaint, and governance relief.on October 14, 2020, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. We believe this actionfiled our motion to be without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it. The action is indismiss the early stages and, at this time, no assessment can be made as to its likely outcome or whether the outcome will be material to us.second amended complaint on October 26, 2020.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
ThereItem 1A. Risk Factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K
includes a discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Except as presented below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2018most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal year 2020 and beyond may be materially adversely affected by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic
(COVID-19).
The outbreak of
COVID-19
has evolved into a global pandemic. The coronavirus has spread to most regions of the world, including virtually all of the United States. The full extent to which
COVID-19
will impact our business and operating results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning
COVID-19
and the actions to contain it or treat its impact, such as the potential for further shutdown or stay at home orders, and shifts toward GHC Programs if changes occur in population demographics within geographic locations in which we provide services, including an increase in unemployment and underemployment as well as losses of commercial health insurance.
Our anesthesiology services medical group, which we divested on May 6, 2020, experienced a significant decline in the number of elective surgeries at a number of the facilities where its affiliated clinicians provide anesthesia services as a result of
COVID-19.
A significant portion of this decline was due to the closure of operating suites or facilities following federal advisories to cancel
non-urgent
procedures and the prohibition of such procedures by several states. Within our radiology services medical group, which in September 2020 we entered into an agreement to divest, orders for radiological studies declined by a meaningful amount from historically normal levels as a result of
COVID-19,
with much of this reduction focused in
non-urgent
studies. Additionally, our office-based practices, which specialize in maternal-fetal medicine, pediatric cardiology, and numerous pediatric subspecialties, saw a significant elevation of appointment cancellations compared to historical normal levels as a result of
COVID-19.
To date, we have not experienced, nor do we currently anticipate, any significant impact to our NICU patient volumes as a result of
COVID-19,
however, there is no assurance that
COVID-19
will not adversely affect our NICU patient volumes or otherwise adversely affect our NICU and related neonatology business. Overall, our operating results since
mid-March
2020 have been significantly impacted by the
COVID-19
pandemic, but volumes did begin to normalize in May 2020 and substantially recovered during the months of June 2020 through September 2020.
27

Across these medical groups, we believe that these patient volume declines primarily reflect a deferral of healthcare services utilization to a later period, rather than a permanent reduction in demand for our services. Given the general necessity of the services our affiliated clinicians provide, we anticipate that this deferral of services may create a backlog of demand in the future, in addition to the resumption of historically normal activity, however, there is no assurance that either will occur. We may also require an increased level of working capital if we experience extended billing and collection cycles as a result of displaced employees, payors, revenue cycle management contractors, or otherwise. The foregoing and other continued disruptions to our business as a result of
COVID-19
could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, prospects and the trading prices of our securities in the near-term and beyond 2020.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, we repurchased 19,675310,589 shares of our common stock that were withheld to satisfy minimum statutory withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock and deferred stock.

We have two active repurchase programs.

Our August 2018 repurchase program allowedallows us to repurchase up to an additional $500.0 million of shares of our common stock, of which we repurchased $392.8$401.3 million as of September 30, 2019.2020.

Item 5. Other Information
On October 10, 2019, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an affiliate of Frazier Healthcare Partners to divest of our management services organization, which operates as MedData. The transaction closed on October 31, 2019. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement, at the closing of the transaction, we received a cash payment of $250.0 million, subject certain net working capital and similar adjustments, as well as contingent economic consideration in an indirect holding company of the buyer, the value of which is contingent on both short and long-term performance of MedData and the maximum amount payable in respect of which is $50.0 million. We anticipate certain cash tax benefits from the transaction in the coming quarters. We expect to use net proceeds from the transaction for debt repayment, share repurchases and strategic acquisitions.28
