Universal Health Services, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Earnings

07/27/2006

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) announced today that its reported net income was $60.3 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, during the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $158.8 million, or $2.53 per diluted share, during the comparable prior year quarter. Reported net income was $111.3 million, or $1.93 per diluted share, during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $220.3 million, or $3.51 per diluted share, during the comparable prior year six-month period. Included in our reported net income during the 2005 periods were after-tax gains of $120.7 million, or $1.89 per diluted share, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 and $126.5 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2005. The gains recorded during the 2005 periods resulted primarily from the sale of our majority-ownership interest in an operating company that owned fourteen hospitals in France.

Reported income from continuing operations was $60.9 million or $1.05 per diluted share during the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $36.6 million or $.61 per diluted share during the second quarter of 2005. After adjusting for the hurricane-related insurance recoveries, net of hurricane-related expenses, and prior year cost report settlements as discussed below, our adjusted income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 was $44.5 million, or $.78 per diluted share. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, reported income from continuing operations was $111.4 million, or $1.93 per diluted share, as compared to $91.3 million or $1.50 per diluted share during the six-month period ended June 30, 2005. After adjusting for the items discussed below, our adjusted income from continuing operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 was $86.0 million, or $1.51 per diluted share.

Net revenues increased 6% to $1.05 billion during the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $991 million during the second quarter of 2005. Net revenues increased 4% to $2.08 billion during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $2.00 billion during the prior year six-month period. Impacting our revenues during the 2006 periods was the loss of revenues generated at our below-mentioned acute care facilities in Louisiana which, on a combined basis, generated net revenues of $64 million and $125 million during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Also, on January 1st of this year, we implemented a formal company-wide uninsured discount policy which has had the effect of lowering both net revenues and the provision for doubtful accounts by approximately $15 million and $29 million during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The implementation of this uninsured discount policy did not have a significant impact on our 2006 net income.

At our acute care hospitals owned during both periods, inpatient admissions increased 1.3% and patient days increased 2.5% during the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the comparable 2005 quarter. Inpatient admissions and patient days each increased 1.3% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Since our acute care facilities located in Louisiana have been closed since the third quarter of 2005 as a result of Hurricane Katrina, the inpatient statistics for those facilities have been excluded from the three- and six-month periods of each year. At our behavioral health care facilities owned during both quarters, inpatient admissions increased 1.7% and patient days increased 0.7% during the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the comparable 2005 quarter. Inpatient admissions increased 3.8% and patient days increased 2.0% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the comparable prior year period.

As indicated on the attached Schedule of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Income Information, our income from continuing operations during the second quarter of 2006 includes: (i) a favorable $12.8 million, or $.21 per diluted share, of after-tax hurricane insurance recoveries, net of hurricane-related expenses, and; (ii) a favorable $3.6 million, or $.06 per diluted share, of after-tax income resulting from the settlement of prior period cost reports. Our income from continuing operations during the six month-period ended June 30, 2006 includes: (i) a favorable $21.8 million, or $.36 per diluted share, of after-tax hurricane insurance recoveries, net of hurricane-related expenses, and; (ii) a favorable $3.6 million, or $.06 per diluted share, of after-tax income resulting from the settlement of prior period cost reports.

We recorded $14.7 million, or $.24 per diluted share, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 and $27.7 million, or $.46 per diluted share, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, of after-tax hurricane insurance recoveries received 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 of 2005. We also incurred additional after-tax hurricane-related expenses at these facilities of $1.9 million, or $.03 per diluted share, during the second quarter of 2006 and $5.9 million, or $.10 per diluted share, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006.

Our operating margin (as calculated on the attached Schedule of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Income Information), increased to 14.5% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 12.8% during the same period of the prior year. The operating margin at our acute care hospitals owned during both periods ("same facility basis") increased to 13.5% during the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 12.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2005. On a same facility basis, the operating margin at our behavioral health hospitals increased to 27.0% during the second quarter of 2006 from 25.4% during the comparable quarter of the prior year. Our operating margin decreased to 14.0% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 14.4% during the same period of the prior year. On a same facility basis, the operating margin at our acute care hospitals decreased to 14.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 15.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2005. On a same facility basis, the operating margin at our behavioral health hospitals increased to 26.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 25.1% during the comparable prior year period.

Our provision for doubtful accounts was 8.3% and 9.6% during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 7.8% and 8.9% during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Exclusive of the impact of the uninsured discount implemented at the beginning of this year, as a percentage of net revenues, the provision for doubtful accounts would have been 9.6% and 9.1% during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006.

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 "Risk Factors" on pages 24 through 30 and in "Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors" on pages 39 and 40 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 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, 2005. 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.
