UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC. REPORTS

34% FIRST QUARTER DILUTED EPS GROWTH

 

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA – Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) announced today its results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005. Reported net income was $61.4 million during the first quarter of 2005, as compared to $46.2 million during the prior year quarter. Reported earnings per diluted share were $.99 during quarter ended March 31, 2005, a 34% increase over the $.74 per diluted share reported during the prior year quarter. Reported income from continuing operations was $56.4 million or $.91 per diluted share during the first quarter of 2005 as compared to $45.6 million or $.73 per diluted share during the first quarter of 2004.

 

Net revenues during the 2005 quarter were $1.09 billion, an increase of 11% over the same quarter in the prior year. At March 31, 2005, our balance sheet debt, net of cash, was approximately $646 million and our shareholders’ equity was approximately $1.27 billion.

 

On a same facility basis, patient admissions to our acute care hospitals located in the U.S. increased 2.4% during the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter. At our acute care hospitals owned in both periods located in the U.S., revenues increased 8.7% and revenue per adjusted patient day increased 7.2% during the 2005 first quarter as compared to the prior year quarter. At our behavioral health hospitals owned in both periods, admissions were relatively unchanged, revenues increased 5.4% and revenue per adjusted patient day increased 2.8%.

 

Included in the reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 were the following items (as listed on the attached Schedule of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Income Information): (i) a $3.8 million after-tax gain ($6.0 million pre-tax) on the sale of two acute care hospitals located in Puerto Rico; (ii) a $2.0 million after-tax gain ($3.1 million pre-tax) on the sale of a home health business in Bradenton, Florida, and; (iii) a $2.0 million after-tax asset impairment charge ($3.1 million pre-tax) related to a women’s hospital located in Edmond, Oklahoma. Included in the reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was Medicaid disproportionate share hospital revenue (“DSH”) related to a prior period which favorably impacted net income during the first quarter of 2004 by $1.7 million after-tax ($2.8 million pre-tax).


Excluding the items listed above for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, our adjusted net income increased 30% to $57.6 million during the first quarter of 2005, as compared to $44.4 million during the 2004 first quarter. Our adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 29% to $.93 during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $.72 during the comparable prior year quarter. Our adjusted income from continuing operations increased 33% to $58.4 million during the first quarter of 2005, as compared to $43.8 million during the 2004 first quarter. Our adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share increased 32% to $.94 during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $.71 during the comparable prior year quarter.

 

Our adjusted operating margin increased to 16.0% during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 14.3% during the same period of the prior year. The operating margin at our acute care hospitals located in the U.S. owned in both the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, increased to 17.2% from 14.6%. The operating margin at our behavioral health hospitals owned in both periods increased to 24.8% during the first quarter of 2005 from 24.0% during the prior year quarter.

 

As previously announced, we sold our two remaining acute care hospitals located in Puerto Rico during the first quarter of 2005 and subsequent to quarter-end, we signed a definitive agreement to sell our 81.5% interest in Medi-Partenaires, an operating company that owns and operates 14 hospitals located in France. We expect to complete the sale of Medi-Partenaires, which is subject to customary regulatory approvals, in mid-to-late May, 2005.

This press release contains forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. Numerous factors, including 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 25 and 26 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004), 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 property write-downs, gains on sales of assets and businesses or 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. Below are schedules of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Income Statement Information which reconcile these measures to net income for the periods presented.
