Acadia Healthcare Reports Second Quarter Adjusted EPS of $0.18 and EPS of $0.17

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACHC) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. Revenue increased 58.1% for the second quarter to $100.5 million compared with $63.6 million for the second quarter of 2011. Income from continuing operations was $6.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012, compared with a loss from continuing operations of $21.7 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, for the second quarter last year. Adjusted income from continuing operations was $0.18 per diluted share, excluding transaction-related expenses totaling $0.7 million, for the second quarter of 2012 compared with a loss of $1.01 per diluted share, excluding sponsor management fees and transaction-related expenses totaling $6.3 million, for the second quarter of 2011. A reconciliation of all GAAP and non-GAAP financial results in this release is on pages 7 and 8.

For the first six months of 2012, revenues were $190.1 million compared with $80.4 million for the same period in 2011. Income from continuing operations was $9.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the first half of 2012, compared with a loss from continuing operations of $22.0 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2011. Adjusted income from continuing operations was $0.29 per diluted share, excluding transaction-related expenses totaling $1.4 million, for the first half of 2012 compared with a loss of $0.94 per diluted share, excluding sponsor management fees and transaction-related expenses totaling $9.0 million, for the first six months of 2011.

Joey Jacobs, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Acadia, commented, “Acadia’s second quarter revenue growth was primarily driven by the expansion in the number of beds in operation to approximately 2,150 beds in 32 facilities at the end of the second quarter of 2012 from over 1,700 beds in 19 facilities at the end of the second quarter last year. In addition, we produced 7.3% growth in same facility revenue for the second quarter of 2012, which was driven primarily by a 9.2% increase in patient days for the period.

“We are also pleased with the strength of our margins for the second quarter of 2012. The Company’s same facility EBITDA margin increased 60 basis points to 23.0% for the quarter compared with the same quarter in 2011. This increase contributed to the expansion in our adjusted consolidated EBITDA margin to 20.3%, up 280 basis points from the second quarter last year.

“The Company is well positioned to fund our organic growth initiatives and acquisition strategy. We continue to generate significant net cash flow from continuing operations, and we have availability of approximately $75 million under our revolving credit facility at the end of the second quarter. Furthermore, we completed a public offering of 9,487,500 shares of common stock in May, raising net proceeds of approximately $139 million. As a result, our ratio of total net debt (total debt minus cash and cash equivalents) to trailing 12 months adjusted EBITDA was 2.5 at June 30, 2012.”

Acadia today revised its guidance for 2012 adjusted earnings per diluted share to a range of $0.59 to $0.60 based upon the impact of the additional shares of common stock outstanding from the May public offering. The Company’s previous guidance for 2012 adjusted earnings per diluted share was a range of $0.65 to $0.67. The Company’s guidance for adjusted earnings per diluted share excludes transaction-related expenses and does not include the impact of any future acquisitions.

Acadia will hold a conference call to discuss its second quarter financial results at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, August 1, 2012. A live webcast of the conference call will be available at www.acadiahealthcare.com in the “Investors” section of the website or at www.earnings.com. The webcast of the conference call will be available through August 15, 2012.

Footnotes

We have included certain financial measures in this press release, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations, which are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for loss (income) from discontinued operations, net interest expense, income tax provision and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for equity-based compensation expense, transaction-related expenses, and sponsor management fees.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations are supplemental measures of our performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations are not measures of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity. Our measurements of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We have included information concerning EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations in this press release because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as measures of a company’s historical performance. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers of equity securities, many of which present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations when reporting their results. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

(a) Represents the equity-based compensation expense of Acadia.

(b) Represents transaction-related expenses incurred by Acadia related primarily to the acquisitions of Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. (“YFCS”) in April 2011, PHC, Inc. (“PHC”) in November 2011 and three facilities from Haven Behavioral Healthcare Holdings, LLC (the "Haven Facilities") in March 2012.

(c) Represents the management fees paid by Acadia to its equity sponsor prior to the termination of the professional services agreement between Acadia and its equity sponsor on November 1, 2011.

(d) Represents the income tax provision adjusted to reflect the aggregate tax effect of the adjustments to income (loss) from continuing operations described above based on expected combined federal and state tax rates.
