Consolidated Results of Operations, As Adjusted - Three-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

After adjusting the reported results for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 to neutralize the net favorable impact of the items mentioned below, and as reflected on the attached Schedules of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Income Information ("Supplemental Schedules"), our adjusted net income attributable to UHS was $56.5 million, or an increase of 33% to $.57 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to $43.7 million, or $.43 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2008. Included in the reported and adjusted net income attributable to UHS during the fourth quarter of 2009 was $3.4 million, or $.03 per diluted share, recorded in connection with the completion of a hospital construction management contract.

As indicated on the attached Supplemental Schedule, included in our reported net income attributable to UHS during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, was a favorable impact of $4.4 million, or $.05 per diluted share, resulting from a reduction to our workers' compensation self-insurance reserves relating primarily to years prior to 2009 based upon a reserve analysis.

Included in our reported net income attributable to UHS during the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 was a combined net favorable impact of $2.8 million, or $.03 per diluted share, resulting from: (i) a charge recorded in connection with the government's investigation of our South Texas Health System affiliates (which was settled during the fourth quarter of 2009); (ii) a reduction to our professional and general liability self-insured claims expense due to partial liquidation proceeds received from a bankrupt commercial insurer, and; (iii) the after-tax income from discontinued operations consisting primarily of a gain recorded on divestiture of an acute care hospital sold during the fourth quarter of 2008.

Consolidated Results of Operations, As Adjusted - Years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

After adjusting the reported results for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 to neutralize the net favorable impact of the items mentioned below, and as reflected on the attached Supplemental Schedule, our adjusted net income attributable to UHS was $246.2 million, or an increase of 28% to $2.49 per diluted share, during 2009 as compared to $197.3 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, during 2008.

As indicated on the attached Supplemental Schedule, included in our reported net income attributable to UHS during the year ended December 31, 2009, was a combined net favorable impact of $14.2 million, or $.15 per diluted share, resulting from: (i) a favorable adjustment resulting from a reduction to our workers' compensation self-insurance reserves relating primarily to years prior to 2009 based upon a reserve analysis; (ii) a favorable adjustment resulting from a reduction to our professional and general liability self-insurance reserves relating to years prior to 2009 based upon a reserve analysis, partially offset by; (iii) an unfavorable discrete tax item recorded in connection with the settlement payment made to the government during the fourth quarter of 2009 in connection with their investigation of our South Texas Health System affiliates.

Included in our reported net income attributable to UHS during the year ended December 31, 2008 was a combined net favorable impact of $2.0 million, or $.02 per diluted share, resulting from: (i) a charge recorded in connection with the government's investigation of our South Texas Health System affiliates; (ii) a reduction to our professional and general liability self-insured claims expense due to partial liquidation proceeds received from a bankrupt commercial insurer; (iii) gains recorded on divestiture of certain real property and other investment, and; (iv) the after-tax income from discontinued operations consisting primarily of a gain recorded on divestiture of an acute care hospital sold during the fourth quarter of 2008.

"Despite the very difficult operating environment in 2009, we are very proud of the manner in which our operators effectively managed the business and increased margins in both our business segments", said Alan B. Miller, Chief Executive Officer. "Although we're pleased with our 2009 accomplishments, we know that 2010 will present us with continued economic challenges and we remain committed to the same level of high quality performance and results."

Acute Care Services - Three-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

At our acute care hospitals owned during both periods ("same facility basis"), adjusted admissions (adjusted for outpatient activity) increased 3.1% while adjusted patient days increased 1.0% during the fourth quarter of 2009, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. Net revenues at these facilities increased 5.6% during the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to the comparable quarter of the prior year. At these facilities, net revenue per adjusted admission increased 2.5% while net revenue per adjusted patient day increased 4.6% during the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to the comparable quarter of the prior year. 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 13.4% during the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to 14.0% during the fourth quarter of 2008, due to an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts at these hospitals amounted to 12.7% of net revenues during the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to 12.2% during the fourth quarter of 2008.

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 $162 million and $159 million during the three-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

2010 Full Year Guidance:

Based upon the operating trends and financial results experienced during 2009, and subject to certain assumptions, provisions and adjustments, including those as set forth below in General Information, Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and Non-GAAP Financial Measures, our estimated range of earnings per diluted share attributable to UHS for the year ended December 31, 2010 is $2.45 to $2.65 on projected net revenues of $5.55 billion.

This guidance range includes an aggregate reduction to our 2010 net income attributable to UHS, as compared to 2009, of $28 million, or $.18 per diluted share, due to: (i) expected reimbursement reductions pursuant to Texas Medicaid supplemental payments; (ii) expected reimbursement reductions pursuant to the Texas disproportionate share hospital fund payments; (iii) expected Texas Medicaid reimbursement reductions related to our hospitals in South Texas, and; (iv) no projected income in 2010 from our hospital construction management business.

This guidance range also excludes the impact of items, if applicable, that are nonrecurring or non-operational in nature including items such as, but not limited to, gains on sales of assets and businesses, reserves for settlements, legal judgments and lawsuits and other amounts that may be reflected in our 2010 financial statements that relate to prior periods.

Two-For-One Stock Split:

During the fourth quarter of 2009, we declared and paid a two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend which was paid on December 15, 2009 to shareholders of record as of December 1, 2009. All classes of common stock participated on a pro rata basis and all references to share quantities and earnings per share for all periods presented herein have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split.

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

Universal Health Services, Inc. ("UHS") 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 and in Item 7-Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009), may cause the 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 net income attributable to UHS, adjusted net income attributable to UHS 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, when applicable, comparing and discussing our financial results based on these measures, as calculated, is helpful to our investors since it neutralizes the effect in each year of items that are nonrecurring or non-operational in nature including items such as, but not limited to, gains on sales of assets and businesses, reserves for settlements, legal judgments and lawsuits 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, 2009. 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.
