Universal Health Services, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Earnings Including Impact of Hurricane Katrina

10/27/2005

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) announced today that its net income for the three- month period ended September 30, 2005 was $8.3 million, or $.15 per diluted share, as compared to $37.8 million, or $.62 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2004. Net revenues increased 6% to $971 million during the third quarter of 2005 as compared to $914 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2004.

Net income was $228.6 million, or $3.73 per diluted share, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $132.3 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, during the nine-month period of 2004. Net revenues increased 9% to $2.97 billion during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $2.73 billion during the prior year nine-month period.

As previously announced, our Methodist Hospital ("Methodist") and Lakeland Medical Pavilion ("Lakeland") located in New Orleans, Louisiana and Chalmette Medical Center ("Chalmette") and Virtue Street Pavilion located in Chalmette, Louisiana all suffered substantial damage from Hurricane Katrina. All facilities remain closed and non-operational as we continue to assess the damage and the likely recovery period for the facilities and surrounding communities.

The majority of the real estate assets of Chalmette are leased by us from Universal Health Realty Income Trust and according to the terms of the lease in such circumstances, we have the obligation to: (i) restore the property to substantially the same condition existing before the damage; (ii) offer to acquire the property in accordance with the terms of the lease; or, (iii) offer a substitution property equivalent in value to Chalmette.

Included in our financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 are the following items:

    --  a combined after-tax charge of $78.1 million ($128.9 million pre-tax
        and pre-minority interest) to reflect the impact of the Hurricane
        related expenses which include: (i) the write-down of the destroyed
        or damaged depreciable assets of each facility; (ii) a charge to
        reflect our estimated obligation pursuant to the terms of the lease
        on the Chalmette facility; (iii) asset impairment charges resulting
        from the Hurricane to further reduce the carrying-values of the
        depreciable real estate assets of Methodist and Lakeland to their
        estimated net realizable values; and, (iv) various other expenses
        incurred in connection with the Hurricane and its aftermath such as
        salaries, wages and benefits paid to employees of the facilities
        after the storm, an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts
        of these facilities, and other expenses incurred in connection with
        the patients, employees and properties of each facility;

    --  after-tax Hurricane related insurance recoveries of $49.8 million
        ($81.7 million pre-tax and pre-minority interest) reflecting our
        preliminary estimate of the minimum level of probable commercial
        insurance proceeds;

    --  $8.2 million of after-tax income ($13.0 million pre-tax) consisting
        primarily of the net combined prior period effect of supplemental
        reimbursements received from certain states and contractual
        settlements.

Reported income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 was $9.5 million, or $.17 per diluted share, as compared to $39.4 million, or $.64 per diluted share, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2004. Reported income from continuing operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 was $100.8 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, as compared to $126.2 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004.

Excluding the above-mentioned items included in our financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 and adjusting the other periods presented for the items listed on the attached Schedules of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Income Information, our adjusted income from continuing operations was $29.6 million, or $.54 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2005 as compared to $40.8 million, or $.66 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2004. Our adjusted income from continuing operations was $123.9 million, or $2.07 per diluted share during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $126.0 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, during the prior year nine-month period.

Since our above mentioned facilities located in Louisiana have been closed since the Hurricane and therefore no revenues have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements for the post-hurricane period, we have excluded these facilities from the following information for the period of September 1st through September 30th of 2005 and 2004. At our acute care hospitals owned during both periods, inpatient admissions increased 2.4%, patient days increased 0.3%, revenues increased 4.9% and revenue per adjusted patient day increased 3.9% during the 2005 third quarter, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter. At our behavioral health hospitals owned in both periods, inpatient admissions increased 8.2%, patient days increased 5.1%, revenues increased 10.0%, and revenue per adjusted patient day increased 5.1% during the third quarter of 2005 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter.

Our consolidated operating margin decreased to 13.0% during the three- month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 14.2% during the same quarter in the prior year. At our acute care hospitals owned during both three-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the operating margin decreased to 11.8% during the third quarter of 2005 from 16.4% during the third quarter of the prior year. The operating margin at our behavioral health hospitals owned during both three-month periods increased to 22.7% during the third quarter of 2005 from 22.2% during the comparable quarter of the prior year.

The large majority of the decrease in our adjusted income from continuing operations during the third quarter of 2005, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, and in the operating margin at our acute care hospitals owned during both three-month periods, can be attributed to an increase in the level of uninsured patients at our acute care facilities and to a continued decline in the operating performance of our two acute care hospitals located in the McAllen/Edinburg, Texas market. The increase in the level of uninsured patients at our acute care facilities resulted in a significant increase in our provision for doubtful accounts and charity care provided during the third quarter of 2005 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter. Our hospitals in the McAllen/Edinburg market continue to experience a decrease in the combined admissions, patient days and payer mix resulting primarily from continued intense competition from a physician-owned hospital in the market.

During the third quarter, we repurchased 1.27 million of our shares at an average price of $52.70 per share. We also previously announced that our Board of Directors authorized an additional 2.0 million share repurchase program to supplement the 2.1 million shares remaining under previous authorizations.

This press release contains forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. Numerous factors, including those related to healthcare industry trends and those detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as set forth in "Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors" on pages 17 and 18 of our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005), 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, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin, 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 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 such as property write-downs, gains on sales of assets and businesses or other amounts 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, 2004. 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. Below are Schedules of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Income Statement Information which reconcile these measures to net income for the periods presented.
