Capella Healthcare Announces First Quarter 2012 Results

Franklin, TN. May 4, 2012 – Capella Healthcare, Inc. (“Capella”) today announced financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $196.9 million, an increase of 15.4%, compared to $170.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $31.8 million, compared to $23.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. Net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $8.2 million, compared to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2011.

In the first quarter of 2012, admissions and adjusted admissions increased 6.3% and 12.0%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2011. On a same-facility basis, admissions and adjusted admissions increased 1.4% and 6.3%, respectively, compared to the prior year quarter. Consolidated revenue per adjusted admission increased 3.1%, compared to the prior year quarter. On a same-facility basis, revenue per adjusted admission increased 5.0% compared to the prior year quarter.

Capella’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 include the following adjustments to revenue.

Supplemental Hospital Offset Payment Program (“SHOPP”)

Capella’s Oklahoma facilities participate in the State of Oklahoma’s SHOPP. On January 17, 2012, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) approved the SHOPP with an effective date of July 1, 2011. The legislation related to the SHOPP was signed into law by the Governor of Oklahoma on May 13, 2011, but subject to approval by CMS. The SHOPP, with an initial term of three fiscal years, allows for the establishment of a hospital provider fee assessment on all non-exempt Oklahoma hospitals. Capella plans to use revenue from this assessment to maintain hospital reimbursement from the SoonerCare Medicaid program and to secure additional matching Medicaid funds from the federal government. Since CMS approval of the program did not occur until January 17, 2012, Capella recorded revenues and expenses associated with the period of July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 in the first quarter of 2012.


Rural Floor Provision Settlement

The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (“BBA”) established a rural floor provision, by which an urban hospital’s wage index within a particular state could not be lower than the statewide rural wage index. The wage index reflects the relative hospital wage level compared to the applicable average hospital wage level. BBA also made this provision budget neutral, meaning that total wage index payments nationwide before and after the implementation of this provision must remain the same. To accomplish this, CMS was required to increase the wage index for all affected urban hospitals, and to then calculate a rural floor budget neutrality adjustment to reduce other wage indexes in order to maintain the same level of payments. Litigation has been pending for several years contending that CMS miscalculated the neutrality adjustment from 1999 through 2011. The litigation, in which Capella and several other hospital companies participated, has now been settled with an agreement signed on April 5, 2012. As a result of the agreement, Capella expects to receive additional Medicare payments by June 30, 2012. Capella recorded revenue and expenses related to the rural floor provision settlement during the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Capella recorded revenue and expenses related to prior period SHOPP and the rural floor provision settlement of $13.6 and $5.1 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

“We remain incredibly proud of our hospitals’ progress, confident that we are investing our time, energy and dollars in the resources most strategic for success,” said Dan Slipkovich, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “In spite of the challenges the industry is facing, we are optimistic about our future. It continues to be a time of great opportunity, and while we will continue to remain disciplined and selective, we fully anticipate growing the family of Capella hospitals in the next few months.”
