GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the company’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
••3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rank•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

Community Health Systems Inc. was incorporated in 1996 as a Delaware corporation. The Company provides healthcare services through the hospitals that it owns and operates in non-urban and selected urban markets. The Company generates revenue primarily by providing a broad range of general hospital healthcare services to patients in the communities in which it is located. The Company currently owns and operates 133 hospitals comprised of 129 general acute care hospitals and four stand-alone rehabilitation or psychiatric hospitals. In addition, it owns and operates home care agencies, located primarily in markets where it also operates a hospital, and through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Quorum Health Resources, LLC, or QHR, it provides management and consulting services to non-affiliated general acute care hospitals located throughout the United States. The Company generally targets hospitals in growing, non-urban and selected urban healthcare markets for acquisition because of their favorable demographic and economic trends and competitive conditions. Because non-urban service areas have smaller populations, there are generally fewer hospitals and other healthcare service providers in these communities and generally a lower level of managed care presence in these markets. The Company's Medicare is a federal program that provides medical insurance benefits to persons age 65 and over, some disabled persons, and persons with end-stage renal disease. The hospital industry is highly competitive. In addition to the competition it faces for acquisitions, it must also compete with other hospitals and healthcare providers for patients. The Company is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, discharge and disposal of hazardous materials, including medical waste products.
