Consolidated Results of Operations:
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Oct 27, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) announced today that its net income was $37.0 million, or $.73 per diluted share, during the third quarter ended September 30, 2008, representing a 14% increase over the adjusted net income per diluted share earned during the third quarter of 2007, as discussed below. Net income was $152.9 million, or $3.00 per diluted share, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, representing a 29% increase over the adjusted net income per diluted share earned during nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Reported net income was $28.9 million, or $.54 per diluted share, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 and $130.4 million, or $2.43 per diluted share, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007. After adjusting our 2007 results for the items indicated on the attached Schedules of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Income Information ("Supplemental Schedule"), our adjusted net income was $34.1 million, or $.64 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2007 and $124.7 million, or $2.32 per diluted share, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007. As indicated on the Supplemental Schedules, the combined net impact of the various favorable and unfavorable items included in our net income during the 2007 periods amounted to: (i) an unfavorable $5.3 million, or $.10 per diluted share, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, and; (ii) a favorable $5.8 million, or $.11 per diluted share, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Net revenues increased 7% to $1.24 billion during the third quarter of 2008 as compared to $1.16 billion during the third quarter of 2007. Net revenues increased 8% to $3.79 billion during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $3.51 billion during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Acute Care Services:

At our acute care hospitals owned during both periods ("same facility basis"), inpatient admissions decreased 0.8% and patient days decreased 1.9% during the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007. On a same facility basis, net revenues at our acute care facilities increased 2.5% during the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter. Net revenue per adjusted admission at these facilities increased 3.7% during the third quarter of 2008 over the comparable prior year quarter. On a same facility basis, the operating margin (net revenues less salaries, wages and benefits, other operating expenses, supplies expense and provision for doubtful accounts) at our acute care hospitals decreased to 11.8% during the third quarter of 2008 as compared to 12.6% during the third quarter of 2007.

On a same facility basis, inpatient admissions at our acute care facilities increased 0.2% and patient days increased 0.6% during the nine- month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the comparable period of the prior year.

On a same facility basis, the operating margin at our acute care hospitals increased to 14.7% during the first nine months of 2008 as compared to 13.7% during the comparable nine months of 2007.

We provide care to patients who meet certain financial or economic criteria without charge or at amounts substantially less than our established rates. Because we do not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported in net revenues or in accounts receivable, net. Our acute care hospitals provided charity care and uninsured discounts, based on charges at established rates, amounting to $154 million and $148 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $451 million and $422 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Behavioral Health Care Services:

At our behavioral health facilities, on a same facility basis, inpatient admissions increased 8.5% and patient days increased 3.9% during the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007. On a same facility basis, net revenues at our behavioral health facilities increased 9.5% during the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter.

As previously announced, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell Central Montgomery Medical Center, a 125-bed acute care hospital located in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. The sale, which is subject to customary regulatory approval, is scheduled to close by early November, 2008. The operating results of this facility are reflected as "Income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes", on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The assets and liabilities of this facility are reflected as "current/long-term assets held for sale" and "current liabilities held for sale" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2008.

General Information, Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and Non- GAAP Financial Measures:

Universal Health Services, Inc. is one of the nation's largest hospital companies, operating acute care and behavioral health hospitals and ambulatory centers nationwide and in Puerto Rico. It acts as the advisor to Universal Health Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust (NYSE: UHT). For additional information on the Company, visit our web site: http://www.uhsinc.com.

This press release contains forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. Numerous factors, including those disclosed herein, those related to healthcare industry trends and those detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as set forth in Item 1A-Risk Factors in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and in Item 2- Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2008), may cause results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine our future results are beyond our capability to control or predict. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and therefore actual results may differ materially. Readers should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements which reflect management's view only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

We believe that operating income, operating margin, adjusted income from continuing operations, adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), which are non-GAAP financial measures ("GAAP" is Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America), are helpful to our investors as measures of our operating performance. In addition, we believe that it is helpful to our investors to present, compare and discuss our financial results after the effect of items that are nonrecurring or non-operational in nature has been neutralized. Such items include, but are not limited to, gains on sales of assets and businesses, adjustments to reserves for self-insured claims, reserves for legal judgments, lawsuits and other settlements and other amounts that may be reflected in the current or prior year financial statements that relate to prior periods. To obtain a complete understanding of our financial performance these measures should be examined in connection with net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in this report or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including our Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2008. Since the items included or excluded from these measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance under GAAP, these measures should not be considered to be alternatives to net income as a measure of our operating performance or profitability. Since these measures, as presented, are not determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Investors are encouraged to use GAAP measures when evaluating our financial performance.
