Universal Health Services, Inc. Reports 2005 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings

02/27/2006

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) announced today its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2005. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005, reported income from continuing operations was $9.0 million or $.17 per diluted share as compared to $34.9 million or $.58 per diluted share during the fourth quarter of 2004. Reported net income was $12.3 million or $.23 per diluted share during the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to $37.2 million or $.61 per diluted share during the comparable prior year quarter. Net revenues increased 6% to $967 million during the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to $911 million during the fourth quarter of 2004.

As indicated on the attached Schedule of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Income Information for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, included in our income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations per diluted share during the fourth quarter of 2005 are the following:

    -- combined after-tax charges of $21.0 million or $.39 per diluted share
       resulting from expenses incurred in connection with damage sustained in
       Louisiana from Hurricane Katrina that resulted in the closure of our
       Methodist Hospital, Lakeland Medical Pavilion, Chalmette Medical Center
       and Virtue Street Pavilion during the third quarter;
    -- an after-tax gain of $3.7 million or $.07 per diluted share resulting
       from the sale of land, and;
    -- other combined net favorable after-tax adjustments of approximately
       $1.5 million or $.04 per diluted share which includes certain income
       tax benefits recognized in connection with the employee retention tax
       credit as provided in the "Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005."

After adjusting for the above-mentioned items, our adjusted income from continuing operations was $24.8 million and our adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share was $.45 during the three-month period ended December 31, 2005. Our adjusted income from continuing operations was $27.5 million or $.46 per diluted share during the fourth quarter of 2004. Impacting the results during the fourth quarter of 2005 are the loss of revenues from our above-mentioned acute care facilities in Louisiana, increased pressure on salaries in certain markets, the dilutive effect of integrating the Keystone and Brown Schools acquisitions and the continued high levels of uninsured patients.

At our acute care hospitals owned during both periods, inpatient admissions increased 3.4% and patient days increased 1.4% during the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the comparable 2004 quarter. Since our above- mentioned facilities located in Louisiana have been closed since the Hurricane, the inpatient statistics for those facilities have been excluded from the fourth quarter of each year. At our behavioral health care facilities owned during both quarters, inpatient admissions increased 7.4% and patient days increased 2.8% during the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the comparable 2004 quarter.

Our adjusted operating margin (as calculated on the attached Schedule of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Income Statement Information), decreased to 12.2% during the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 as compared to 13.2% during the same period of the prior year. The operating margin at our acute care hospitals owned during both periods ("same facility basis") decreased to 12.1% during the three months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to 12.9% during the three months ended December 31, 2004. On a same facility basis, the operating margin at our behavioral health hospitals increased to 22.4% during the fourth quarter of 2005 from 19.0% during the comparable quarter of the prior year.

The provision for doubtful accounts was 9.0% of net revenues during the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to 7.6% during the prior year's fourth quarter. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the number of uninsured patients treated at our acute care hospitals.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, reported income from continuing operations was $109.8 million or $1.91 per diluted share as compared to $161.1 million or $2.62 per diluted share during 2004. Reported net income was $240.8 million or $4.00 per diluted share during 2005 as compared to $169.5 million or $2.75 per diluted share during 2004. Included in our reported net income during 2005 were combined after-tax gains on divestitures of $132.9 million or $2.12 per diluted share resulting from the sale of fourteen acute care hospitals in France, two acute care hospitals in Puerto Rico, a women's hospital in Oklahoma, a home health business in Florida and land in Nevada. Net revenues increased 8% to $3.94 billion during 2005 as compared to $3.64 billion during 2004.

Included in our income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations per diluted share during 2005 are the following:

    -- combined after-tax charges of $99.0 million or $1.58 per diluted share
       resulting from expenses incurred in connection with damage sustained
       from Hurricane Katrina at our above-mentioned facilities located in
       Louisiana;
    -- after-tax Hurricane related insurance recoveries of $48.6 million or
       $.78 per diluted share reflecting the minimum level of commercial
       insurance proceeds due to us, substantially all of which have been
       received;
    -- the combined favorable prior year after-tax effect of $5.2 million or
       $.08 per diluted share resulting from supplemental reimbursements
       received from certain states and contractual settlements (as previously
       disclosed in our earnings release for the nine-month period ended
       September 30, 2005);
    -- an after-tax gain of $3.7 million or $.06 per diluted share resulting
       from the sale of land, and;
    -- other combined net favorable after-tax adjustments of approximately
       $203,000 or $.01 per diluted share.

After adjusting for the above-mentioned items, our adjusted income from continuing operations was $151.1 million and our adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share was $2.56 during the 2005. Our adjusted income from continuing operations was $153.4 million or $2.51 per diluted share during 2004.

At our acute care hospitals owned during both years (excluding the inpatient statistics for our above-mentioned Louisiana hospitals for the period of September 1st through December 31st of each year), inpatient admissions increased 2.7% and patient days increased 1.4% during 2005 as compared to 2004. At our behavioral health care facilities owned during both years, inpatient admissions increased 5.9% and patient days increased 4.5% during 2005 as compared to 2004.

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 "Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors" on pages 18 and 19 of our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 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, gains on sales of assets and businesses, Hurricane related expenses and insurance recoveries, and 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.
