NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 9, 2012

CRC Health Corporation Reports Operating Results

For the Three Months and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2011

CUPERTINO, CA, April 9, 2012—CRC Health Corporation (“CRC” or the “Company”), a leading provider of substance abuse treatment and adolescent youth services through its wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries, announced its results for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2011 Operating Results:

Net revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 increased $24.4 million, or 6%, to $446.0 million compared to the same period in 2010. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, operating income increased by $57.2 million due to a decrease in operating expenses of $32.9 million. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in non-cash goodwill and asset impairment charges of $56.1 million offset by increases in employee related expenses of $8.7 million, the provision for doubtful accounts of $1.6 million and other operating expenses of $12.9 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 adjusted pro forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) increased $1.2 million, or 1%, to $104.9 million compared to $103.7 million during the same period in 2010.

“I am really proud of our accomplishments this year.” said Andy Eckert, Chief Executive Officer. “The close of 2011 was also the end of my first year at CRC. We’ve made a lot of changes, managed our way through some difficult situations and achieved respectable operating results. I am very optimistic about CRC and what the future holds.”

2011 was a year of significant transition for the company. Significant accomplishments included:

 

   

Reorganizing the company’s operations along lines of business with senior leaders responsible for Adult Recovery (East and West), Weight Management, and Troubled Youth.

 

   

Named Jerry Rhodes Chief Operating Officer, LeAnne Stewart Chief Financial Officer, Jon Ciampi VP Marketing, Bill Bregar VP Quality, Mukund Srinivasan Corporate Controller and Todd Hauschildt Chief Information Officer.

 

   

Appointed Dr. Phil Herschman the company’s first Chief Clinical Officer leading a new team of experts in clinical quality management. We have assembled a Clinical Advisory Board consisting of recognized experts in all aspects of behavioral health to guide our clinical advancement.

 

   

Built a national private pay sales force that launched in January 2012. David Duerst is CRC’s first SVP of Sales, manages this team and is responsible for our outreach activities in support of our core goal: Reaching families in need.

 

   

Rationalized our Troubled Youth business in the second quarter, resulting in a $1.2 million Adjusted EBITDA contribution.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2010

Recovery:

 

   

Net revenue increased $18.3 million, or 6%, to $344.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 from $326.5 million for the comparable prior year period. Revenue increases were primarily driven by increases of $13.7 million and $4.6 million within residential facilities and Comprehensive Treatment Centers (“CTCs”), respectively. The increases in recovery residential facilities and CTC’s were primarily due to an increase in patient days at our facilities and an increase in net revenue per patient day.

 

   

Operating income decreased by $2.5 million due to an increase in operating expenses of $20.9 million primarily due to a $10.7 million increase in supplies, facilities and other operating expenses, an $8.0 million increase in employee related expenses, a $1.7 million increase in the provision for doubtful accounts and a $0.5 million increase in non-cash asset impairment charges.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1.2 million or 1%, to $118.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 from $119.7 million from the comparable prior year period.

Youth:

 

   

Net revenue increased $3.1 million, or 5%, to $69.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 from $66.5 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in revenue was due to a $4.4 million increase from our outdoor programs offset by a $1.3 million decrease from our residential programs. The increase in outdoor programs was primarily due to an increase in student days and an increase in net revenue per patient day. The decrease in youth residential facilities was primarily due to a decrease in the average length of stay offset by higher tuition rates.


   

Operating income increased by $59.7 million due to a decrease in operating expenses of $56.6 million. This decrease was due to a $56.3 million decrease in non-cash goodwill and asset impairment charges and a $1.4 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in employee related expenses.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.1 million to $1.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 from $(0.9) million during the comparable prior-year period.

Weight Management:

 

   

Net revenue increased $3.0 million, or 11%, to $31.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 from $28.6 million from the comparable prior-year period. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in patient days and net revenue per patient day at our eating disorder facilities and summer weight loss camps.

 

   

Operating income increased by $2.5 million due an increase in operating expenses of $0.5 million to support an increase in patient days.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.3 million to $6.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 from $3.1 million during the comparable prior-year period.

Corporate:

 

   

Corporate operating expenses increased $2.3 million or 16% for the comparable prior year period primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in supplies, facilities and other operating costs and a $0.6 million increase in depreciation expenses.


Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 Operating Results:

Net revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased $3.9 million, or 4%, to $105.0 million compared to the same period in 2010. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, operating income decreased $8.2 million due to an increase in operating expenses of $12.1 million. The increase was primarily driven by increases in employee related expenses of $4.6 million, facilities and other operating expenses of $2.7 million, the provision for doubtful accounts of $0.8 million and non-cash asset impairment charges of $3.9 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.6 million, or 16%, to $19.0 million compared to $22.6 million during the same period in 2010.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

The computation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the covenants in our senior subordinated notes, is provided below solely to provide an understanding of the impact that Adjusted EBITDA has on our ability to comply with certain covenants in our borrowing arrangements tied to these measures and to borrow under the credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities (which are determined in accordance with GAAP) and is not being presented as an indicator of operating performance or a measure of liquidity. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, such measures may not be comparable to our Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.


The following table reconciles our net income (loss) to our Adjusted EBITDA for the three months and the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands).
