The rating assignment was based on a number of factors, including the hospital’s substantial operating cash flow. For the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, NYUHC generated a 7 percent operating margin and a 13.2 percent operating cash flow margin.  

The hospital also faces some challenges, which were considered for the rating assignment, such as being leveraged with respect to balance sheet resources.
