HEALTH MANAGEMENT ANNOUNCES

SECOND QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

NAPLES, FLORIDA (August 9, 2013) Health Management Associates, Inc. (NYSE: HMA) today announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Key metrics from continuing operations for the second quarter (all percentage changes in the bullet points below compare the second quarter of 2013 to the second quarter of 2012) include:

•

As shown in the tables accompanying this press release, diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations was $0.03. Excluding the impact of approximately $19.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, of interest rate swap accounting and mark-to-market adjustments on the swap, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.07 per diluted share, as compared to $0.21 per diluted share in the prior year;

•

Net revenue was $1.464 billion;

•

Adjusted EBITDA was $181.2 million, which includes $23.2 million of Medicare and Medicaid Healthcare Information Technology (“HCIT”) incentive payment as well as approximately $9.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, of severance accruals for certain employment arrangements;

•

Same hospital net revenue was $1.398 billion;

•

Same hospital net revenue per adjusted admission decreased 2.7%;

•

As shown in the accompanying table, same hospital Adjusted EBITDA was $247.8 million, or an EBITDA margin of 17.7%; and

•

Same hospital surgeries decreased 2.2% and emergency room visits decreased 3.1%.

The tables accompanying this press release include reconciliations of consolidated net income to all presentations of Adjusted EBITDA (which is not a GAAP measure) contained in this press release. Those tables also reconcile earnings per share on a GAAP basis to those amounts presented in this press release and contain disclaimers and other important information regarding how Health Management defines and uses Adjusted EBITDA.

For the second quarter, Health Management’s provision for doubtful accounts was $240.9 million, or 14.1% of net revenue before the provision for doubtful accounts, compared to $214.6 million, or 12.7% of net revenue before the provision of doubtful accounts, for the same quarter a year ago.

Uninsured self-pay patient discounts for the second quarter were $369.0 million, compared to $311.9 million for the same quarter a year ago. Charity/indigent care write-offs were $28.2 million for the second quarter, compared to $24.3 million for the same quarter a year ago.

The sum of uninsured discounts, charity/indigent write-offs and the provision for doubtful accounts, as a percent of the sum of net revenue before the provision for doubtful accounts, uninsured discounts and charity/indigent write-offs (which Health Management refers to as its Uncompensated Patient Care Percentage) was 30.3% for the second quarter, compared to 27.2% for the second quarter a year ago, and 28.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Health Management believes that its Uncompensated Patient Care Percentage provides key information regarding the aggregate level of patient care for which it does not receive payment.

Cash flow from continuing operating activities for the second quarter was $108.3 million, after cash interest and cash tax payments aggregating $61.7 million. At June 30, 2013, Health Management’s total leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio were 4.1, both being well within its debt covenant requirements.

Health Management hospitals recognized $23.2 million and $2.9 million of incentive payments in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, Health Management reported net revenue of $2.947 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $380.1 million. As shown in the tables accompanying this press release, excluding the impact of approximately $37.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for interest rate swap accounting as well as mark-to-market adjustments on the swap due to interest rate conditions, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.21. Consolidated diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.12 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

As previously announced, Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CYH) (“CHS”) and Health Management Associates have entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which CHS will acquire HMA for approximately $7.6 billion, including the assumption of approximately $3.7 billion of indebtedness. The

transaction is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2014 and is subject to approval by a 70 percent vote of Health Management’s stockholders, antitrust clearance, receipt of other regulatory approvals, the absence of certain adverse developments, and customary closing conditions.

Health Management enables America’s best local health care by providing the people, processes, capital and expertise necessary for its hospital and physician partners to fulfill their local missions of delivering superior health care services. Health Management, through its subsidiaries, operates 71 hospitals with approximately 11,100 licensed beds in non-urban communities located throughout the United States.

(a)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before discontinued operations, net (gains) losses on sales of assets, net interest and other income, interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Health Management believes that providing non-GAAP information such as Adjusted EBITDA is important for investors and other readers of Health Management’s consolidated financial statements, as it is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the health care industry and Health Management’s debt facilities contain covenants that use Adjusted EBITDA in their calculations. Because Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
