“This decision reflects our confidence in the underlying strength of Ardent’s operations and our ability to generate long-term value for shareholders,” said Marty Bonick, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With a strong balance sheet and substantial financial flexibility, we are prepared to act when market conditions create favorable opportunities. This program gives us added flexibility to allocate capital in a way that reflects our assessment of intrinsic value while continuing to invest in strategic initiatives that advance our mission and extend our reach.”

The repurchase program will be financed using existing cash resources and will not affect Ardent’s capacity to pursue growth strategies, including mergers and acquisitions.
As of the end of the third quarter of 2025, Ardent reported $609 million in cash and a lease-adjusted net leverage ratio of 2.5 times, reflecting a solid liquidity position that supports both the repurchase program and ongoing strategic investments.
This initiative is part of Ardent’s broader strategy to enhance shareholder value while maintaining the financial strength necessary to expand healthcare access and services in its communities.
