ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

Dallas, Texas (November 7, 2012) – United Surgical Partners International, Inc. (“USPI” or the “Company”) today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Third Quarter Financial Results

For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, consolidated net revenues increased 5% to $128.3 million compared with $122.3 million in the prior year period. Operating income for the third quarter was $56.1 million as compared with $53.8 million for the prior year period. EBITDA less noncontrolling interests increased 15% to $47.4 million versus $41.1 million in the prior year quarter.

The financial results for the third quarter were driven by systemwide revenue growth of 9%, consisting of 5% U.S. same-facility revenue growth and the remainder being due to acquisition activity.

Cash flows from operating activities for the third quarter totaled $54.5 million compared with $63.0 million for the prior year period. Due to the refinancing completed on April 3, 2012, the Company incurred higher interest costs beginning in the second quarter of 2012. During the third quarter, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries invested approximately $3.3 million in maintenance capital expenditures and an additional $2.9 million to develop new facilities and expand existing facilities.

Nine-Month Financial Results

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, consolidated net revenues increased 6% to $385.7 million compared with $364.8 million in the prior year period. Operating income increased 6% for the first nine months of 2012 to $176.1 million as compared with $166.5 million for the prior year period. EBITDA less noncontrolling interests increased 10% to $142.5 million versus $129.1 million in the prior year period.

Cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, totaled $129.9 million compared with $126.5 million for the prior year period. During the first nine months of 2012, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries invested approximately $9.5 million in maintenance capital expenditures and an additional $14.2 million to develop new facilities and expand existing facilities.

Systemwide Financial Results

Due to the Company’s partnerships with physicians and prominent 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 September 30, 2012, 144 of the 203 facilities the Company operated were not consolidated.

For the third quarter, the systemwide revenues of the facilities operated by the Company increased 9% on a year-over-year basis, while consolidated revenues increased 5%. For the first nine months of 2012, the systemwide revenues of the facilities operated by the Company increased 12% on a year-over-year basis, while consolidated revenues increased 6%.

Development Activity

In the first nine months of 2012, the Company acquired five facilities and opened one de novo facility. The Company expects to add 10 to 15 facilities in 2012.

Reclassification of Prior Year Earnings Due to Refinancing and Spin-Out of the Company’s United Kingdom Subsidiary

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility, issued new senior unsecured notes, redeemed all validly tendered outstanding notes pursuant to the previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation, deposited funds with the trustee to redeem the remaining outstanding notes, and spun-off its U.K. subsidiary. As a result, the Company no longer has any ownership in the U.K. subsidiary, which was renamed European Surgical Partners, Ltd. (“ESP”), and has classified its prior earnings as discontinued operations.

Hurricane Sandy

The Company had 29 facilities affected by Hurricane Sandy. While none of these facilities sustained any significant physical damage, most were without power for a period of time. Currently, all 29 facilities have power and the ability to treat patients; however, challenges remain for patients and physicians in these markets.

Conclusion

Commenting on the results, William H. Wilcox, USPI’s chief executive officer, said, “We believe our model of being a low cost, high quality provider, while partnering with physicians and prominent health systems, puts our company in an excellent position to prosper.”

(4) 

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, depreciation and amortization, and net (gain) loss on deconsolidations, disposals and impairments, 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.
