Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization ( Adjusted EBITDA ) from continuing operations
is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a description of the rationale for our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and a
reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the years
ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, please see the disclosure under the caption Non-GAAP Measures on Pages
65 and 66 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

To Our Shareholders:
The following 2023 annual report details Pediatrix activities and results for the year.
Through the past year, we took significant steps to enhance our core service lines and strengthen the support
of our affiliated practices and clinicians. Notably, we accelerated our transition to a hybrid revenue-cycle
management structure, with a strong internal team supported by a best-in-class vendor. In addition, we utilized
our strong free cash flow to strengthen our balance sheet and provide ample financial flexibility.
We were also successful in our payor relationships under the No Surprises Act. While Pediatrix has always
strived to be in-network across all of our geographies and services, we entered 2024 with an even higher
in-network profile following successful arbitration processes and, ultimately, negotiations affecting several
important states. Following these negotiations, even more patients and patients families can access the critical
services provided by our affiliated clinicians.
All of these efforts underscore our mission to Take great care of the patient, every day and in every way TM
and I join my fellow Pediatrix Directors and executives in applauding and thanking all of our affiliated clinicians
and non-clinical associates for their dedication and hard work.
I thank you for your continued support of our efforts.
James D. Swift, M.D.
Chief Executive Officer
