UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC. REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER EPS GROWTH OF 19%

 

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA—Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) announced today that its net income and earnings per share (diluted) were $51.0 million and $.82 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, and $103.7 million and $1.66 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, respectively. These results represent a 19% increase in earnings per share (diluted) both for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 over the comparable prior year periods. Revenues increased 12% to $903 million in the three-month period and also by 12% to $1.80 billion in the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2003, the Company’s balance sheet debt, net of cash, was $675 million and its shareholders’ equity was $976 million.

 

On a same facility basis, patient admissions to the Company’s acute care hospitals located in the U.S. and Puerto Rico remained relatively unchanged during the quarter ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter while patient admissions to the Company’s behavioral health care facilities owned in both periods increased approximately 3%. For the Company’s acute care hospitals owned in both periods located in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, revenues increased 9.4% and revenue per adjusted patient day increased 7.8% during the 2003 second quarter as compared to the prior year quarter. For the Company’s behavioral health hospitals owned in both periods, revenues increased 5.7% and revenue per adjusted patient day increased 3.7%.

 

Managed care pricing remained strong in the quarter. Operating margins for the Company’s acute care hospitals located in the U.S. and Puerto Rico owned in both the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, increased to 18.3% from 17.6%. Operating margins for the Company’s behavioral health hospitals owned in both periods increased to 23.8% during the second quarter of 2003 from 21.2% during the prior year quarter. The Company’s operating margin (as calculated on the attached schedules of Supplemental Consolidated Income Statement Information), increased to 16.7% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 as compared to 16.0% in the same period of the prior year.


During the quarter, the Company announced its intent to acquire the assets of three acute care hospitals in California from Vista Health System. The Company also expects to complete construction of its new 176-bed hospital in Las Vegas and a 90-bed addition to its Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo, Texas later in 2003.

 

There will be a conference call for investors at 9:00AM ET on Tuesday, July 22, 2003. The dial-in number is 1-877-648-7971.

 

Universal Health Services, Inc. is one of the nation’s largest hospital companies, operating acute care and behavioral health hospitals, ambulatory surgery and radiation centers nationwide, in Puerto Rico, and in France. It acts as the advisor to Universal Health Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust (NYSE: UHT).

 

Certain statements in this release may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to various risks and uncertainties as discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is not obligated to update these forward-looking statements even if the Company’s assessment of these risks and uncertainties changes. The Company uses operating income and/or operating margin, which are commonly used indicators within the health care industry, as analytical indicators for purposes of assessing operating performance of its facilities. Operating income and operating margin should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, and the items excluded from operating income and operating margin are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because operating income and operating margin are not measurements determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, operating income and operating margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
