                     Consolidated Results of Operations:

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) announced today that its reported net income was $28.9 million, or $.54 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2007 as compared to $113.9 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, during the comparable prior year quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, reported net income was $130.4 million, or $2.43 per diluted share, as compared to $225.3 million, or $3.89 per diluted share, during the comparable nine-month period in the prior year.

As indicated on the attached Schedules of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Income Information ("Supplemental Schedules"), our income from continuing operations and net income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 include various items such as: (i) hurricane related expenses, net of recoveries, minority interests and income taxes; (ii) prior period effect of the recording or reserving of Texas Medicaid supplemental payments and cost reports settlements, net of income taxes; (iii) reserve for legal judgments, the write-down of the carrying-value of investment in a joint-venture and gain on sale of real property, net of income taxes; (iv) favorable income tax adjustments to reduce reserves due to the expiration of statute of limitations in various tax jurisdictions; (v) prior period effect of a favorable after-tax adjustment to reduce our professional and general liability self-insurance reserves based upon the results of a third-party actuarial analysis, and; (vi) a charge incurred during the third quarter of 2006 to record the aggregate present value of the future funding of a portion of a gift from our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and President to The College of William & Mary ("W&M Funding").

After adjusting for the items discussed above applicable to each period presented, as indicated on the attached Supplemental Schedules, our adjusted net income during the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 was $34.1 million, or $.64 per diluted share, as compared to $30.6 million, or $.54 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2006. Our adjusted net income during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 was $124.7 million, or $2.32 per diluted share, as compared to $119.4 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, during the comparable prior year nine-month period.

Net revenues increased 13% to $1.18 billion during the third quarter of 2007 as compared to $1.04 billion during the third quarter of 2006. Net revenues increased 14% to $3.56 billion during the first nine months of 2007 as compared to $3.13 billion during the comparable nine-month period of 2006. Our consolidated operating margin, as calculated on the attached Supplemental Schedules (without adjusting for the various items mentioned above), was 11.1% and 12.2% during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 13.2% and 13.4% during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Acute Care Services:

At our acute care hospitals owned during both periods ("same facility basis"), inpatient admissions increased 2.5% and patient days increased 2.9% during the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the third quarter of 2006. On a same facility basis, net revenues at our acute care facilities increased 7.6% during the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter. Net revenue per adjusted admission at these facilities increased 3.0% during the third quarter of 2007 over the comparable prior year quarter. The operating margin at our acute care hospitals owned during both periods increased to 12.6% during the third quarter of 2007 as compared to 11.8% during the third quarter of 2006.

At our acute care hospitals, on a same facility basis, inpatient admissions increased 3.1% and patient days increased 3.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the comparable prior year period.

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 $149 million and $99 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $418 million and $326 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The operating margin at our behavioral health facilities owned during both periods was 23.7% during each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Other Matters:

Over the last several weeks, at our request, our legal representatives have met with representatives of the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas to discuss the status of the previously disclosed investigations of our South Texas Health System affiliates. Our representatives have been advised that the investigations remain active and ongoing and that the government is focused on payments to physicians and certain others that they believe may have been improper or illegal. We believe that the government is also focusing its investigation to determine whether the South Texas Health System affiliates and certain individuals illegally failed to fully comply with the original government subpoena. We are in the process of investigating these matters and are cooperating with the investigations and intend to respond to the matters raised with us. We are unable to evaluate the existence or extent of any potential financial exposure in connection with this matter at this time.

General Information and Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors:

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 and in Item 7-Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006), 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 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, hurricane-related expenses and insurance recoveries 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-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and our Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. 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.
