The prior year amount was positively impacted by $22.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, related to reimbursement updates for the rural floor provision of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and revised Supplemental Security Income ratios.
Adjusted EBITDA was $555.5 million compared to $575.7 million during the prior year. The prior year amount was positively impacted by $34.6 million related to the reimbursement updates.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to net income attributable to Vanguard Health Systems, Inc. stockholders for the quarters and years ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 is included in this release.

As previously announced, we have signed a definitive agreement and plan of merger to be acquired by Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC) (“Tenet”). Completion of the transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close early in our second quarter of fiscal 2014. As a result of the proposed merger, we will not have a conference call to discuss our financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Fourth Quarter Analysis

Consolidated total revenues increased $62.7 million, or 4.3 percent, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year period. Health plan premium revenues increased $18.5 million, or 11.1 percent, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year period as a result of a capitation rate increase at Phoenix Health Plan ("PHP"), increased enrollment at Abrazo Advantage Health Plan in Arizona and the addition of ProCare Health Plan in Michigan. Health plan claims expense increased significantly during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year period due to provider rate increases mandated by the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System ("AHCCCS") for certain services, most of which were effective April 1, 2013, and changes in actuarial assumptions related to the acuity of certain member groups. Uncompensated care as a percentage of net patient revenues (prior to uncompensated care deductions) was 21.6 percent during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to 19.5 percent during the prior year period.

Substantially all of the acquisition related expenses of $7.9 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 related to legal, advisory and other costs associated with the Tenet transaction. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we also incurred $5.2 million in severance costs related to our restructuring of the Detroit market operations and recognized a $14.6 million gain on disposal of assets, substantially all of which related to our sale of a portion of our laboratory business in Illinois in June 2013.

Fiscal Year Analysis

Consolidated total revenues increased $50.4 million, or 0.8 percent, during the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year. Health plan premium revenues, on a same store basis, decreased $34.4 million, or 4.7 percent, during the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year due to the full year impact of the changes to Medicaid eligibility made by AHCCCS, effective October 1, 2011, and the resulting impact on PHP's enrollment. Uncompensated care as a percentage of net patient revenues (prior to uncompensated care deductions) was 21.3 percent during the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to 19.1 percent for the prior year, absent the impact of the prior year reimbursement updates.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

As of June 30, 2013, we had cash of $624.0 million and total debt of $2,996.2 million. These balances reflect the impact of the additional $300.0 million of borrowings under our term loan credit facility during the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

Cash flows from operating activities improved by $187.2 million during the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year. Changes in net operating assets and liabilities negatively impacted operating cash flows by $64.8 million during the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to a negative impact of $292.8 million during the prior year. We made $206.3 million of interest and income tax payments during the year ended June 30, 2013, which was $39.4 million higher than these payments during the prior year. Interest payments were higher due to the additional senior notes issued in March 2012, while income tax payments increased as a result of the utilization of significantly all of our federal net operating loss carryforwards during the year ended June 30, 2012. Net days in accounts receivable decreased to 46 days at June 30, 2013 compared to 50 days at June 30, 2012.

Capital expenditures increased 43.4 percent to $420.5 million during the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year primarily due to increased spending related to The Detroit Medical Center specified capital project commitments and the start of construction of a new hospital in New Braunfels, Texas and other expansion projects.

Segment EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before income taxes less interest expense (net of interest income), depreciation and amortization, equity method income or loss, stock compensation, gain or loss on disposal of assets, realized gains or losses on investments, acquisition related expenses, debt extinguishment costs, impairment and restructuring charges and pension expense (credits). Management uses Segment EBITDA to measure the performance of our segments and to develop strategic objectives and operating plans for those segments. Segment EBITDA eliminates the uneven effect of non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets, much of which results from acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Segment EBITDA also eliminates the effects of changes in interest rates, which management believes relate to general trends in global capital markets, but are not necessarily indicative of the operating performance of our segments. Management believes that Segment EBITDA provides useful information to investors, lenders, financial analysts and rating agencies about the financial performance of our segments. Additionally, management believes that investors and lenders view Segment EBITDA as an important factor in making investment decisions concerning us. Segment EBITDA is not a substitute for net income, operating cash flows or other cash flow statement data determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Segment EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies.

Segment EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before income taxes less interest expense (net of interest income), depreciation and amortization, equity method income, stock compensation, gain or loss on disposal of assets, realized gains or losses on investments, acquisition related expenses, debt extinguishment costs, impairment and restructuring charges and pension expense (credits). Management uses Segment EBITDA to measure the performance of our segments and to develop strategic objectives and operating plans for those segments. Segment EBITDA eliminates the uneven effect of non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets, much of which results from acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Segment EBITDA also eliminates the effects of changes in interest rates, which management believes relate to general trends in global capital markets, but are not necessarily indicative of the operating performance of our segments. Management believes that Segment EBITDA provides useful information to investors, lenders, financial analysts and rating agencies about the financial performance of our segments. Additionally, management believes that investors and lenders view Segment EBITDA as an important factor in making investment decisions concerning us. Segment EBITDA is not a substitute for net income, operating cash flows or other cash flow statement data determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Segment EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies.
