 Consolidated Results of Operations - Three-month periods ended June 30, 2009
                                   and 2008


KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) announced today that its reported net income attributable to UHS was $80.9 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $54.2 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, during the comparable quarter of the prior year. Reported income from continuing operations attributable to UHS was $80.9 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $55.2 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, during the comparable quarter of the prior year.

As indicated on the attached Schedules of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Income Information ("Supplemental Schedules"), included in our income from continuing operations and net income during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, was a combined $9.8 million, or $.20 per diluted share, consisting of: (i) a favorable after-tax adjustment of $14.1 million, or $.29 per diluted share, 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; (ii) an unfavorable discrete tax item of $4.3 million, or $.09 per diluted share.

After adjusting the reported results for the second quarter of 2009 to neutralize the net favorable impact of the above-mentioned adjustments (there were no adjustments applicable to the second quarter of 2008), our adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to UHS during the second quarter of 2009 was $71.1 million, or an increase of 33% to $1.44 per diluted share, as compared to $55.2 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, during the comparable quarter of the prior year.

During the second quarter of 2009, adjusted net income attributable to UHS was $71.1 million, or an increase of 36% to $1.44 per diluted share, as compared to $54.2 million, or $1.06 per diluted share during the comparable quarter of the prior year.

Net revenues increased 3% to $1.30 billion during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $1.26 billion during the second quarter of 2008.

Consolidated Results of Operations - Six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

Reported net income attributable to UHS was $148.4 million, or $3.01 per diluted share, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $115.9 million, or $2.26 per diluted share, during the comparable six-month period of the prior year. Reported income from continuing operations attributable to UHS was $148.4 million, or $3.01 per diluted share, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $115.2 million, or $2.25 per diluted share, during the comparable six-month period of the prior year.

As indicated on the attached Supplemental Schedules, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, our adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to UHS was $138.6 million, or an increase of 25% to $2.81 per diluted share, as compared to $115.2 million, or $2.25 per diluted share, during the comparable six-month period of the prior year.

Adjusted net income attributable to UHS was $138.6 million, or an increase of 24% to $2.81 per diluted share, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $115.9 million, or $2.26 per diluted share during the comparable six-month period of the prior year.

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.

2009 Full Year Guidance Increased to $4.40 to $4.55 Per Diluted Share:

Based upon the operating trends and financial results experienced during the first six months of 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, we are increasing our estimated range of earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $4.40 to $4.55 from the previously provided range of $4.00 to $4.15. This revised guidance range excludes the net favorable impact of $.20 per diluted share resulting from the above-mentioned items that were included in our results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 (consisting of the favorable impact resulting from the reduction to our professional and general liability self-insurance reserves and the unfavorable impact resulting from the discrete tax item).

Recent Acquisition:

On June 30, 2009, we completed the acquisition of Centennial Peaks Hospital, a 72-bed behavioral health facility located in Louisville, Colorado. Centennial Peaks will provide services to adolescent and adult patients and will compliment our existing services in the high growth Denver-Boulder corridor.

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, 2008 and in Item 2-Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 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 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, 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, 2008 and Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 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.
