Segments

The Company has one reportable segment, which is healthcare services. The healthcare services segment generates revenues

by delivering care to its customers, or patients, through its integrated network of hospitals, ambulatory facilities, and

physician practices. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is its President and Chief Executive Officer,

who regularly reviews financial operating results on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating

financial performance. The Company's CODM manages the operations on a consolidated basis to make decisions about

overall Company resource allocation and to assess overall Company performance.

The CODM's assessment of segment performance and allocation of segment resources is based on consolidated net income

attributable to Ardent Health, Inc. The CODM uses this consolidated profitability measure to monitor budget versus actual

results, compare Company profitability period-over-period and make capital investment decisions.

The following table presents the composition of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Ardent Health, Inc. for the

healthcare services segment, including significant expenses that are regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM (in
