Liquidity
Surgery Partners had cash and cash equivalents of $250.1 million and $394.9 million of borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2025. Cash flows from operating activities was $81.3 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $82.8 million for the same period in 2024. The period-over-period change is due to operational growth being offset by an increase in cash interest payments.
Year-to-date, operating cash flows were $87.3 million compared to $123.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by higher cash interest payments and timing of changes in working capital.
The Company’s ratio of total net debt to EBITDA, as calculated under the Company’s credit agreement, was approximately 4.1x at the end of the second quarter of 2025. Leverage calculated using consolidated debt from our balance sheet divided by Adjusted EBITDA, before reducing it for NCI, was 4.7x times.
