UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC. UPDATES

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS REFLECTING CHANGES

DUE TO THE DEFERRAL OF FASB STATEMENT 150

 

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA—Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) today released updated financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 solely due to the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) October 29, 2003 announcement that certain provisions of Statement of Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“FASB 150”), related to the accounting for minority interest of consolidated subsidiaries with finite lives, will be indefinitely deferred. In the Company’s October 20, 2003 press release announcing earnings for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003, the Company had recorded an after-tax charge of $1,699,000 or $.03 per diluted share, for the cumulative effect of an accounting change related to this provision of FASB 150.

 

Due to the revised accounting treatment, the Company has revised its earnings for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 (previously reported on October 20, 2003) to eliminate this $1,699,000 after-tax charge. Accordingly, the Company is now reporting net income and earning per diluted share of $49.1 million and $.79, respectively, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 and $152.8 million and $2.45, respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. Included in the net income and earnings per diluted share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 were after-tax (and after minority interest expense) gains on sales of assets and businesses of $4.4 million or $.07 per diluted share.

 

Universal Health Services, Inc. is one of the nation’s largest hospital companies, operating acute care and behavioral health hospitals, ambulatory surgery and radiation centers nationwide, in Puerto Rico, and in France. It acts as the advisor to Universal Health Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust (NYSE: UHT).

 

Certain statements in this release may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to various risks and uncertainties as discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is not obligated to update these forward-looking statements even if the Company’s assessment of these risks and uncertainties changes.
