Consolidated Results of Operations: KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., July 28
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) announced today that its net income was $54.2 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, during the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, representing a 35% increase over the adjusted net income per diluted share earned during the second quarter of 2007, as discussed below. Net income was $115.9 million, or $2.27 per diluted share, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, representing a 34% increase over the adjusted net income per diluted share earned during six-month period ended June 30, 2007.
Reported net income was $52.1 million, or $.97 per diluted share, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 and $101.6 million, or $1.89 per diluted share, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. After adjusting our 2007 results for the item mentioned below, and other less material items as indicated on the attached Schedules of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Income Information ("Supplemental Schedule"), our adjusted net income was $42.7 million, or $.79 per diluted share, during the second quarter of 2007 and $90.6 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. As indicated on the Supplemental Schedules, included in our net income during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, was $10.0 million, or $.19 per diluted share, representing the prior year impact of a favorable after-tax adjustment to reduce our professional and general liability self-insurance reserves based upon the results of an actuarial analysis.
Net revenues increased 8% to $1.28 billion during the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $1.18 billion during the second quarter of 2007. Net revenues increased 8% to $2.58 billion during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $2.38 billion during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007.
Acute Care Services:
At our acute care hospitals owned during both periods ("same facility basis"), inpatient admissions increased 0.8% and patient days increased 1.3% during the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the second quarter of 2007. On a same facility basis, net revenues at our acute care facilities increased 7.6% during the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter. Net revenue per adjusted admission at these facilities increased 7.0% during the second quarter of 2008 over the comparable prior year quarter. On a same facility basis, the operating margin (net revenues less salaries, wages and benefits, other operating expenses, supplies expense and provision for doubtful accounts) at our acute care hospitals increased to 14.6% during the second quarter of 2008 as compared to 12.7% during the second quarter of 2007.
On a same facility basis, inpatient admissions at our acute care facilities increased 0.8% and patient days increased 1.7% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the comparable period of the prior year. Net revenues at these facilities increased 7.1% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Net revenue per adjusted admission at these facilities increased 6.0% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 over the comparable prior year period. On a same facility basis, the operating margin at our acute care hospitals increased to 15.9% during the first six months of 2008 as compared to 14.1% during the comparable six months of 2007.
We provide care to patients who meet certain financial or economic criteria without charge or at amounts substantially less than our established rates. Because we do not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported in net revenues or in accounts receivable, net. Our acute care hospitals provided charity care and uninsured discounts, based on charges at established rates, amounting to $143 million during each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and $297 million and $270 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Behavioral Health Care Services:
At our behavioral health facilities, on a same facility basis, inpatient admissions increased 8.5% and patient days increased 3.1% during the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the second quarter of 2007. On a same facility basis, net revenues at our behavioral health facilities increased 7.8% during the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter. Net revenue per adjusted patient day at these facilities increased 5.1% during the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the comparable quarter of the prior year. The operating margin at our behavioral health facilities owned during both periods increased to 24.8% during the second quarter of 2008 as compared to 24.6% during the second quarter of 2007.
On a same facility basis, inpatient admissions increased 8.3% and patient days increased 4.7% during the first six months of 2008 over the comparable prior year period. On a same facility basis, net revenues at our behavioral health facilities increased 8.5% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the comparable period of the prior year. Net revenue per adjusted patient day at these facilities increased 4.7% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 over the comparable period of the prior year. The operating margin at our behavioral health facilities owned during both periods increased to 24.3% during the first six months of 2008 as compared to 23.7% during the comparable period of the prior year.
2008 Revised Guidance:
Based upon the operating trends and financial results experienced during the first six months of 2008, and subject to certain assumptions, provisions and adjustments, including those as set forth below in General Information, Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and Non-GAAP Financial Measures, we are increasing our estimated range of earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $3.80 to $3.90 from the previously provided range of $3.70 to $3.80.

General Information, Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Universal Health Services, Inc. is one of the nation's largest hospital companies, operating acute care and behavioral health hospitals and ambulatory centers nationwide and in Puerto Rico. It acts as the advisor to Universal Health Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust (NYSE: UHT). For additional information on the Company, visit our web site: http://www.uhsinc.com.
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 Item 1A-Risk Factors in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and in Item 2-Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2008), 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 and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), 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 including items such as, but not limited to, gains on sales of assets and businesses, hurricane-related expenses and insurance recoveries, reserves for legal judgments, lawsuits and other settlements and other amounts that may be 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, 2007 and Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2008. 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.
