ITEM 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Community Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby announces that it anticipates that its results in the fourth quarter of 2021 will yield results for the year ended December 31, 2021 of the following:

•

Net operating revenues in the range of $12.355 billion to $12.375 billion.

•

Adjusted EBITDA, further adjusted to exclude the recognition of pandemic relief funds, in an amount that approximates the high-end of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2021 (the low-end of which was $1.780 billion and the high-end of which was $1.820 billion) as disclosed in the Company’s earnings release dated October 27, 2021 (the “3Q 2021 Earnings Release”). The assumptions utilized to calculate guidance as disclosed in the 3Q 2021 Earnings Release excluded the impact of the recognition of pandemic relief funds from the determination of such guidance.

•

Recognized pandemic relief funds for the year ended December 31, 2021 of approximately $145 million.

The Company also hereby provides certain preliminary guidance for 2022 as set forth below. The Company anticipates net operating revenues for the year ending December 31, 2022 to be in the range of $12.600 billion to $13.100 billion. The Company anticipates Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2022 to be in the range of $1.825 billion to $1.975 billion. This preliminary guidance for 2022 similarly does not take into account the potential impact of the recognition of pandemic relief funds and was otherwise determined utilizing a methodology similar to the methodology used in determining the Company’s guidance for 2021 as reflected in the 3Q 2021 Earnings Release. See the Forward-Looking Statements section of this Form 8-K for a list of factors that could affect the future results of the Company or the healthcare industry generally. The information provided above is based on information available to management as of the date of this Form 8-K and is subject to revision upon finalization of the Company’s annual accounting and financial reporting procedures. In addition, the 3Q 2021 Earnings Release as referenced above includes additional information regarding the Company’s financial performance and guidance as of such date, including reconciliations between non-GAAP financial measures and related GAAP measures. The Company intends to provide its updated 2022 annual guidance and reporting on its financial and operating results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, when the Company issues its earnings release on a future d
