PITTSBURGH, Aug. 28, 2015 – UPMC maintained its strong financial results through fiscal year 2015 amidst an evolving market, allowing western Pennsylvania’s leading health care provider to continue meeting the region’s health care needs.

UPMC’s operating revenues increased to $12 billion for the fiscal year, due primarily to growth in insurance services and health services. Operating income, which is reinvested in programs that support UPMC’s mission, was $338 million for the 12 months ended June 30, 2015. UPMC’s excess of revenues over expenses (net income) was $417 million.

UPMC’s earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization (EBIDA) – a key measure of financial performance and the ability to generate the necessary resources for reinvestment – were $804 million, a record high for UPMC.

UPMC Health Plan now has more than 2.7 million subscribers, growing 17 percent since this time last year. Physician revenue increased by 4 percent, and the number of employed physicians grew 2 percent to 3,567. In a market that is shrinking by 3 percent each year, UPMC’s admissions and observations were down 1 percent while outpatient revenue remained flat.

“Our strong financial performance reflects UPMC’s ongoing ability to stay ahead of the challenges of this evolving health care market so that we can continue to provide top-ranked clinical care while operating efficiently as a nationally renowned IDFS,” said Robert A. DeMichiei, UPMC executive vice president and chief financial officer.

Over the last 10 years, UPMC has reinvested more than $5 billion to upgrade its technology, facilities and infrastructure, all toward ensuring top-quality care and the best patient experience.
