Joey Jacobs, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of PSI, said, “PSI’s revenue and earnings did not meet our expectations for the third quarter of 2009. In addition to the impact of the Labor Day holiday occurring a week later than in the third quarter of 2008, our revenue growth was affected by a lower than expected increase in revenue per patient day of 1.7% due to adverse changes in our payor mix. Lastly, our management contract segment’s earnings were lower than anticipated for the quarter.”

PSI’s same-facility revenue increased 4.7% for the third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter last year. This increase primarily reflected a 3.3% increase in patient days and a 1.6% increase in revenue per patient day. PSI’s EBITDA margin was 20.5% on both a same-facility basis and a total-facilities basis compared with 21.0% for the third quarter of 2008. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $79.9 million, or 17.5% of revenue, compared with $77.9 million, or 18.1% of revenue, for the third quarter of 2008. A reconciliation of all GAAP and non-GAAP financial results in this release can be found on page 6.

Net cash from continuing operations increased 11.2% for the third quarter to $34.6 million from $31.2 million for the third quarter last year. Capital expenditures for the quarter were $65.7 million, which included the purchase of two inpatient psychiatric facilities. The Company’s debt to total capitalization improved to 56.2% at the end of the third quarter of 2009 from 60.5% at the end of the third quarter last year and 56.5% at the end of this year’s second quarter.

As a result of PSI’s financial results for the first nine months of 2009 and the Company’s outlook for the remainder of the year, PSI today reduced its guidance for 2009 earnings from continuing operations attributable to PSI stockholders per diluted share to a range of $2.11 to $2.14 from the prior range of $2.16 to $2.24. The Company’s guidance does not include the impact from any future acquisitions.

PSI will hold a conference call to discuss its third quarter financial results at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, October 28, 2009. A live webcast of the conference call will be available at www.psysolutions.com in the “Investors” section of the site or at www.earnings.com. The webcast will be available through the end of business on November 13, 2009.

(a)  

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations attributable to stockholders before interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations attributable to stockholders before interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation, amortization, 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.
