Universal Health Services, Inc. Reports a 19% Increase in Net Income, its Tenth
Consecutive Annual Net Income Increase; Steve Filton Appointed CFO
Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) announced today its final
results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2002. Reported
net income was $43.9 million or $.69 per share (diluted) during the fourth
quarter of 2002 as compared to $927,000 or $.02 per share (diluted) during the
fourth quarter of 2001. For the full year of 2002, reported net income was
$175.4 million or $2.74 per share (diluted) as compared to $99.7 million or
$1.60 per share (diluted) during 2001. Included in the reported results were
various non-operating items as listed on the attached Summary of Consolidated
Operating Results.
Excluding these items, net income and earnings per share (diluted)
increased 19% to $42.5 million and 20% to $.67, respectively, during the fourth
quarter of 2002 as compared to $35.7 million and $.56, respectively, in the
prior year quarter. Net revenues increased 15% during the three month period
ended December 31, 2002 to $835.5 million as compared to $724.2 million during
the prior year's fourth quarter. During the quarter ended December 31, 2002,
EBITDA (as defined on the attached Summary of Consolidated Operating Results)
increased 23% to $110.7 million as compared to $90.2 million during the prior
year's fourth quarter.
For the year ended December 31, 2002 (excluding the items listed on the
attached Summary of Consolidated Operating Results), net income and earnings per
share (diluted) increased 19% and 18%, respectively, to $174.0 million and $2.72
as compared to $146.2 million and $2.30, respectively, during 2001. During 2002,
net revenues increased 15% to $3.26 billion as compared to $2.84 billion during
2001. EBITDA increased 17% during 2002 to $434.6 million as compared to $370.5
million during 2001.
Chairman and CEO Alan Miller said, "Our hospitals provided increasing
quality of care to their patients in 2002 and the Company continues its efforts
to improve patient safety through training programs and new information systems
such as the recently
completed installation of a pharmacy management system that will greatly reduce
the possibility of medication errors. The high quality reputations of our
hospitals continue to attract an increasing number of patients. The efforts of
the many talented people at UHS produced satisfying financial results even
though hospitals continue to be challenged by rapidly rising labor and
malpractice costs. We anticipate that 2003 will bring continued growth for our
hospitals in both patient admissions and financial results. In addition to
continuing to invest aggressively to provide the health care needed by our
existing communities, UHS will also continue to look selectively to acquire
hospitals where we believe our skills can improve the quality and financial
viability of the hospital."
The strong growth in revenues and earnings resulted primarily from
continuing substantial growth in admissions of patients to the Company's
hospitals. Admissions to the Company's acute care hospitals located in the U.S.
and Puerto Rico owned for more than a year increased 7.9% during the fourth
quarter of 2002 over the prior year quarter. Admissions to the Company's
behavioral health care facilities owned more than a year increased 7.7% during
the fourth quarter of 2002 as compared to the prior year's fourth quarter. Also
contributing to the increase in revenues and earnings during the fourth quarter
of 2002, as compared to the prior year quarter, was a 5.2% increase in net
revenue per adjusted admission achieved at the Company's acute care hospitals
located in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Net revenue per adjusted admission at the
Company's behavioral health hospitals increased 1% during the quarter.
Admissions to the Company's acute care hospitals located in the U.S. and Puerto
Rico owned for more than a year increased 6.9% during 2002 over the prior year
while admissions to the Company's behavioral health care facilities owned more
than a year increased 6.4% during 2002 as compared to 2001. Net revenue per
adjusted admission at the Company's acute care hospitals located in the U.S. and
Puerto Rico increased 3.6% during 2002 as compared to the prior year. Net
revenue per adjusted admission at the Company's behavioral health hospitals
decreased less than 1% during the year as compared to 2001.
Cash flow from operations for the full year was $333 million, an
increase of 12% from the prior year. During 2002, the Company invested $196
million in capital expenditures, purchased 1.7 million of its shares for $77
million and made net debt repayments of $67 million. By year-end 2002, the
Company's shareholders' equity increased 14% to $917 million and debt declined
to $689 million. The Company's return on capital, defined as net income
(excluding from both years the items listed on the attached Summary of
Consolidated Operating Results) divided by the sum of debt plus shareholders'
equity, increased to 10.8% compared to 9.6% in 2001. The Company expects its
return on capital to increase again in 2003 as recent investments in capital
expenditures and acquisitions mature.
The Company also announced the planned departure of Kirk Gorman, the
Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Steve Filton, Vice
President and Controller, will assume the title of Chief Financial Officer
effective today. Mr. Gorman will remain with the Company during the transition
period leading to the appointment of a permanent Chief Financial Officer, who
will be selected from a search that will include internal and external
candidates. Alan B. Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, stated that the Company's Board of Directors concluded these management
changes were necessary as a result of issues raised by KPMG, the Company's
independent auditors, as a result of a recent communication from Mr. Gorman to
KPMG regarding his views on their respective responsibilities and the level of
expertise required of a chief financial officer with respect to the Company's
financial statements. Although no issue whatsoever has been raised regarding the
integrity of the Company's financial statements, KPMG has concluded that,
because of Mr. Gorman's communication regarding the responsibilities and
required expertise of a chief financial officer, it could no longer rely on the
representations made by Mr. Gorman as the CFO of the Company.
The Company believes that the Company's stockholders will be well
served by having Mr. Filton appointed the Company's interim Chief Financial
Officer. Mr. Filton has extensive knowledge of the Company's business in his
various roles within the Company for 18 years, including his position as
Controller.
Mr. Miller emphasized that the Company has the utmost regard for Mr.
Gorman's integrity and capabilities and is very disappointed that the situation
has arisen which caused Mr. Gorman's departure.
