Universal Health Services, Inc. Updates Third Quarter Results Reflecting Changes Due to the Deferral of FASB Statement 150
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Nov. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 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.
