Business GENERAL Tenet Healthcare Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, "Tenet", the "Registrant" or the "Company") is the second-largest investor- owned health care services company in the United States. At May 31, 2001, Tenet's subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively "subsidiaries") owned or operated 111 general hospitals with 27,277 licensed beds and related health care facilities serving urban and rural communities in 17 states, and held investments in other health care companies. The related health care facilities included a small number of rehabilitation hospitals, specialty hospitals, long-term care facilities, a psychiatric facility and many medical office buildings located on the same campus as, or nearby, its general hospitals, physician practices and various ancillary health care businesses, including outpatient surgery centers, home health care agencies, occupational and rural health care clinics and health maintenance organizations. Several years ago Tenet adopted a "back to basics" approach to improving its operations and financial performance. Various initiatives developed as part of that back to basics approach helped Tenet to significantly improve its operations and financial performance in fiscal year 2001. Among those initiatives, which are discussed in more detail below, are initiatives to (i) acquire new, or expand and enhance existing, integrated health care delivery systems, (ii) improve patient, physician and employee satisfaction, (iii) reduce bad debts and improve cash flow, (iv) focus on core services such as cardiology, orthopedics and neurology designed to meet the health care needs of the aging baby boomer generation, (v) improve recruitment and retention of nurses and other employees, (vi) improve the quality of care provided at its hospitals by identifying best practices and exporting those best practices to all of its hospitals; and (vii) improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs while maintaining the quality of care provided. Tenet regularly reviews its portfolio of facilities on a facility-by-facility basis to assess performance and allocate resources. Tenet intends to continue its strategic acquisitions of, and partnerships or affiliations with, additional general hospitals and related health care businesses in order to expand and enhance its integrated health care delivery systems. From time to time, Tenet also may close or sell facilities or convert them to alternate uses. As discussed in more detail under Health Care on page 2, Tenet's subsidiaries acquired two general hospitals and sold one general hospital during fiscal 2001. On June 30, 2001, following the end of fiscal year 2001, Tenet acquired two more hospitals. On July 2, 2001, a joint venture between a Tenet subsidiary and The Cleveland Clinic Florida opened the Cleveland Clinic Florida Hospital. On March 1, 2001, the Company entered into a new senior unsecured $500 million 364-day revolving credit agreement and a new senior unsecured $1.5 billion five-year revolving credit agreement. The new credit agreements allow the Company to borrow, repay and reborrow up to $500 million prior to March 1, 2002, and up to an additional $1.5 billion prior to March 1, 2006. The Company had approximately $1.8 billion available under its revolving credit agreements at May 31, 2001. 1 Under segment reporting criteria, Tenet's business of providing health care is a single reportable operating segment. See the discussion of Tenet's revenues and operations in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in Tenet's 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders. OPERATIONS A. Health Care All of Tenet's operations are conducted through its subsidiaries. At May 31, 2001, Tenet's subsidiaries operated 111 general hospitals with 27,277 licensed beds serving urban and rural communities in 17 states. Of those general hospitals, 91 are owned by Tenet's subsidiaries and 20 are owned by third parties and leased by Tenet subsidiaries (including one Tenet -owned facility that is on land leased from a third party). A Tenet subsidiary also owns one general hospital and ancillary health care operations in Barcelona, Spain. During fiscal 2001, Tenet's subsidiaries acquired two general hospitals, Shelby Regional Medical Center, in Center, Texas, with a total of 54 beds and South Fulton Medical Center in East Point, Georgia with a total of 392 beds. On June 30, 2001, following the end of fiscal year 2001, a Tenet subsidiary acquired St. Mary's Medical Center with a total of 460 beds and Good Samaritan Medical Center with a total of 341 beds, both located in Palm Beach County, Florida. On July 2, 2001, a joint venture between a Tenet subsidiary and The Cleveland Clinic Florida–a branch of The Cleveland Clinic Foundation–opened the newly constructed Cleveland Clinic Florida Hospital in Weston, Florida with a total of 150 beds. Under a partnership arrangement, The Cleveland Clinic Florida will oversee all aspects of clinical care and medical management while a subsidiary of Tenet will provide operational and management expertise for the new facility. During fiscal 2001, Tenet sold one general hospital and three long-term care facilities, closed one long-term care facility and combined the operations of one rehabilitation hospital with a general hospital.
