On April 20, 2017, Mednax announced negative financial results for the first quarter of 2017, including missed
earnings. Mednax cited negative trends including “payor mix” degradation, lower volume of newborn infant patients, and wage
inflation, with half of the financial impact related to business in North Carolina and Texas. On this news, Mednax’s stock
price fell $5.39 per share, or 8.1%, to close at $61.30 per share on April 20, 2017. Then, on July 28, 2017, during its
second-quarter earnings call with investors and analysts, Mednax announced that the Company had failed to complete any acquisitions
of anesthesiologist practices during the quarter and that any future anesthesiologist acquisitions were unlikely, citing the
“challenging” payor mix combined with “continued . . . growth in compensation expense for nurse anesthetists.” On this news,
Mednax’s stock price fell $8.76 per share, or 15.5%, to close at $47.73 per share on July 28, 2017.
