ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END 2011 RESULTS

Dallas, Texas (March 1, 2012) – United Surgical Partners International, Inc. (“USPI” or the “Company”) today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, consolidated net revenues increased 5% to $162.0 million compared with $154.2 million in the prior year period. Operating loss for the fourth quarter was $37.0 million as compared with operating income of $53.0 million for the prior year period. Current quarter operating loss included an impairment of goodwill of $107.0 million related to the U.K. reporting unit. Both the current and prior year had de novo start-up losses, acquisition related costs, and certain non-facility operating expenses, which are explained in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Adjusted EBITDA less noncontrolling interests increased 11% to $61.6 million versus $55.4 million in the prior year quarter.

The financial results for the fourth quarter were driven by systemwide revenue growth of 13%, consisting of 6% U.S. same-facility revenue growth and the remainder being due to acquisition activity.

Cash flows from operating activities for the fourth quarter totaled $43.7 million compared with $31.3 million for the prior year period. During the fourth quarter, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries invested approximately $6.8 million in maintenance capital expenditures and an additional $16.3 million to develop new facilities and expand existing facilities.

Full Year Financial Results

For the year ended December 31, 2011, consolidated net revenues increased 6% to $609.6 million compared with $576.7 million in the prior year period. Operating income decreased 33% for 2011 to $141.1 million as compared with $210.5 million for the prior year period. Current year operating income included an impairment of goodwill of $107.0 million related to the U.K. reporting unit. Both the current and prior year had de novo start-up losses, acquisition related costs, and certain non-facility operating expenses, which are explained in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Adjusted EBITDA less noncontrolling interests increased to $212.8 million from $200.2 million in the prior year period.

Cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011, totaled $184.1 million compared with $169.1 million for the prior year period. This increase was due to the higher operating cash flows of our facilities being partially offset by increased federal tax payments. The Company’s federal tax payments in the first half of 2010 were lower due to its still having significant net operating loss carryforwards to apply. During 2011, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries invested approximately $18.7 million in maintenance capital expenditures and an additional $31.8 million to develop new facilities and expand existing facilities.

Systemwide Financial Results

Due to the Company’s partnerships with physicians and not-for-profit healthcare systems, the Company does not consolidate the financial results of the majority of its facilities. While revenues of the Company’s unconsolidated facilities are not recorded as revenues by USPI, equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates is a significant and growing portion of the Company’s overall earnings. To help analyze results of operations, management uses systemwide operating measures such as systemwide revenue growth, which include revenues of both consolidated and unconsolidated facilities. In addition to overall systemwide revenue growth, USPI calculates growth rates and operating margins for the facilities that were operational in both the current and prior year periods, a group the Company refers to as same-store or same-facility. This group also consists of both consolidated and unconsolidated facilities. At December 31, 2011, 141 of the 206 facilities the Company operated were not consolidated.

Revenue Analysis

For the fourth quarter, the systemwide revenues of the facilities operated by the Company increased 13% on a year-over-year basis, while consolidated revenues increased 5%. For 2011, the systemwide revenues of the facilities operated by the Company increased 13% on a year-over-year basis, while consolidated revenues increased 6%. The table below lists the key drivers of year-over-year changes in revenues.

Development Activity

During the year, the Company acquired 19 facilities, opened four de novo facilities, and sold its interest in six facilities. The Company expects to add 15 to 20 facilities in 2012.

Impairment of Goodwill

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a $107.0 million goodwill impairment charge related to its United Kingdom (U.K.) reporting unit. The impairment primarily resulted from worsening conditions in U.K. and European capital markets and poor overall economic conditions, as further described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Summary

Commenting on the results, William H. Wilcox, USPI’s chief executive officer, said, “We ended the year with some good momentum as we had solid operational results and continued robust development activity.”

USPI, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, currently has ownership interests in or operates 207 surgical facilities. Of the Company’s 201 domestic facilities, 139 are jointly owned with not-for-profit healthcare systems. The Company also operates six facilities in the United Kingdom.

The above includes forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. Numerous factors exist that may cause results to differ from these expectations. Many of the factors that will determine the Company’s future results are beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties relating to the Company, including without limitation, (i) reduction in reimbursement from payors; (ii) the Company’s ability to attract physicians and retain qualified management and personnel; (iii) the Company’s significant leverage; (iv) geographic concentrations of certain of the Company’s operations; (v) risks associated with the Company’s acquisition and development strategies; (vi) the regulated nature of the healthcare industry; (vii) the highly competitive nature of the healthcare business; and (viii) those risks and uncertainties described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, the Company’s actual results may differ materially. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Calculated as operating income divided by net revenue.

(4) 

Calculated using fourth quarter 2011 exchange rates. The Company believes net revenue per adjusted admission is an important measure of the United Kingdom operations and that using a constant currency translation rate more accurately reflects the trend of the business.

(5) 

EBITDA and EBITDA less noncontrolling interests are not measures defined under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company believes EBITDA and EBITDA less noncontrolling interests are important measures for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. EBITDA, which is computed by adding operating income plus depreciation and amortization, net (gain) loss on deconsolidations, disposals and impairments and good will impairment, is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the healthcare industry and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt service ability. EBITDA less noncontrolling interests, which is computed by subtracting net income attributable to noncontrolling interests from EBITDA, adjusts both years’ EBITDA to reflect that the Company does not own 100% of each facility. EBITDA and EBITDA less noncontrolling interests should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from EBITDA and EBITDA less noncontrolling interests are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because EBITDA and EBITDA less noncontrolling interests are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculation methods, EBITDA and EBITDA less noncontrolling interests as presented by United Surgical Partners International may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
