EX-99 2 a5387829ex99.txt EXHIBIT 99 EXHIBIT 99 Psychiatric Solutions Reports 43% Growth in First Quarter Earnings Per Diluted Share on 34% Increase in Revenue Affirms 2007 Earnings Guidance and Expected 12-Month Earnings Accretion from Acquisition of Horizon Health FRANKLIN, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2007--Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. ("PSI") (NASDAQ: PSYS) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Revenue increased 33.6% to a record $323,718,000 from $242,312,000 for the first quarter of 2006. Income from continuing operations rose 46.3% to $18,144,000 from $12,398,000. Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $0.33 for the first quarter of 2007, up 43.5% from $0.23 for the first quarter of 2006. Joey Jacobs, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of PSI, commented, "PSI continued its historic earnings momentum into 2007, with strong revenue growth and increased profit margins driving a substantial increase in earnings per diluted share. Our complementary organic growth and acquisition strategies each contributed to our taking a significant first step toward achieving our financial and operating goals for 2007. "We primarily attribute our revenue growth for the first quarter to the increase in our inpatient psychiatric beds to over 8,000 at the end of the quarter from over 6,500 at the same time in 2006. A large majority of the additional beds are in the 17 inpatient facilities PSI acquired since the end of the first quarter of 2006. Based on our ongoing evaluation of other potential transactions, we continue to target the acquisition of at least six additional inpatient facilities during the next 12 months, not including our previously announced agreement to purchase Horizon Health Corporation. Horizon Health owns or leases 15 inpatient facilities with over 1,500 beds and generated revenue of $275 million during its 2006 fiscal year. We expect to complete this transaction, which has been approved by Horizon Health's stockholders, during the second quarter, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. "We also attribute our profitable growth for the first quarter of 2007 to an increase in same-facility revenue of 5.7% against a strong comparable-quarter performance in the prior year for which same-facility revenue rose 11.0%. Our same-facility revenue growth for the first quarter reflected a 1.0% increase in patient days and a 4.7% increase in revenue per patient day. We remain confident of both our ability and the opportunity to achieve our targeted range of growth in patient days of 3% to 5% for 2007, as well as our targeted range of annual growth in same-facility revenue of 7% to 9%. "Due to the operating leverage produced by growth in our same-facility revenue and to our ongoing efforts to enhance operating efficiency and productivity, we produced an increase in same-facility EBITDA as a percentage of same-facility revenue to 20.4% for the first quarter of 2007 from 19.5% for the first quarter last year. This increase contributed to the 33.8% growth in consolidated adjusted EBITDA to $53.8 million for the first quarter of 2007 from $40.2 million for the first quarter of 2006, both of which were 16.6% of revenue." Please see page 7 for a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP financial results. Based primarily on the Company's operating and financial results for the first quarter of 2007 and its outlook for the remainder of the year, PSI affirms its guidance for earnings per diluted share for 2007 in a range of $1.42 to $1.46. The Company's guidance does not include the impact from any future acquisitions, including Horizon Health. PSI continues to expect the acquisition of Horizon Health to be accretive to its earnings per diluted share for the 12 months following the completion of the transaction by an amount in the range of $0.17 to $0.20. Mr. Jacobs added, "We are confident that the near-term growth opportunity inherent in our guidance is complemented by a compelling long-term opportunity, which is based on strong industry dynamics and our proven growth strategies. Demand for high quality inpatient psychiatric care continues to rise, along with an increasing recognition that mental illness is one of the country's leading diseases. At the same time, little new industry capacity is being added to meet this increased demand, although PSI continues to expand capacity at its existing facilities. As a result of this supply/demand dynamic in an industry that remains highly fragmented, we expect our ability to acquire and operate high quality facilities that are leading providers in their markets will enable us to extend PSI's record of long-term profitable growth for the foreseeable future."

EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation and other items included in the caption above labeled "Other expenses". These other expenses may occur in future periods but the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period and do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our health care facilities. PSI's management relies on EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as the primary measures to review and assess operating performance of its facilities and their management teams. PSI believes it is useful to investors to provide disclosures of its operating results on the same basis as that used by management. Management and investors also review EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate PSI's overall performance and to compare PSI's current operating results with corresponding periods and with other companies in the health care industry. You should not consider EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating cash flows or other cash flow statement data determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are susceptible to varying calculations, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
