IHHI management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various performance measures. In addition to GAAP results, we also consider other measures, such as "adjusted" EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which is a non-GAAP term.
Our adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $4.9 million, an increase of $8.8 million from adjusted EBITDA of ($3.9) million for the same period in 2006. Our adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended September 30, 2007 was $2.9 million, an increase of $5.2 million from adjusted EBITDA of ($2.3) million for the same period in 2006.
Bruce Mogel, IHHI CEO, stated, "We are gratified to report the result of considerable progress moving these operations to a fiscally sound basis. This was the result of concerted efforts by our facility personnel and increasingly supportive medical staff and community."
Management attributes the improved operating results to a series of cost control and revenue enhancement initiatives which it monitors with each affiliate hospital on a weekly basis. During the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, IHHI received $3.0 million and $0, respectively, in supplemental funding for indigent care, and $3.0 million and $3.5 million during the six months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Such supplemental fundings may or may not occur in future periods. Management commented further that the improved operating results do not yet reflect the reduced borrowing costs resulting from its refinancing efforts which took effect on October 9, 2007. The results of the refinancing are expected to be displayed in the Company's future results.
