NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 12, 2011

CRC Health Corporation Reports Operating Results

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

CUPERTINO, CA, May 12, 2011 – 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 ended March 31, 2011.

The Company has two operating divisions: recovery division and healthy living division. The recovery division provides substance abuse and behavioral disorder treatment services through residential treatment facilities and outpatient treatment clinics. The healthy living division includes programs and treatment services for adolescent youth as well as treatment services for eating disorders, obesity, and weight management serving all age groups. Adolescent and youth treatment services include therapeutic boarding schools and educational outdoor programs for children and adolescents struggling with academic, emotional, and behavioral issues.

On March 24, 2011, the Company announced a strategic plan to transition the services provided by its Aspen business within its healthy living division to a more focused national network of services. This smaller network will allow the Company to apply its resources where there are the greatest needs and assure the best possible service for its students and families. In 2010, this business experienced difficulties as a result of declining economic conditions and the inability of families to access credit markets to fund tuition. As part of this strategic plan, the Company will be terminating operations at five facilities and consolidating services at three other facilities. As a result of this plan, the Company tested its long-lived assets at these eight facilities for impairment at March 31, 2011 and recognized a non-cash asset impairment charge of $4.4 million.

Consolidated net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $8.3 million, or 8.0%, to $111.9 million compared to the same period in 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, consolidated operating expenses increased $10.9 million, of which $4.4 million is related to asset impairment charges, to $101.5 million, or 12.0%, compared to the same period in 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 adjusted pro forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) increased $3.6 million, or 17.0%, to $24.5 million compared to $20.9 million during the same period in 2010.

Recovery Division:

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

 

   

Net revenue increased $7.5 million, or 9.6%, to $86.1 million for the quarter from $78.6 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. Revenue increases were primarily driven by an increase of $6.1 million in residential facilities and an increase of $1.4 million within comprehensive treatment centers (“CTCs”). Same-facility net revenue increases were similar to total-facility net revenue increases for the quarter compared to the comparable prior-year quarter.


   

Adjusted pro forma EBITDA increased $3.5 million, or 12.6%, to $31.5 million for the quarter from $28.0 million from the comparable prior-year quarter.

 

   

Recovery division operating expenses increased $4.6 million for the comparable quarters in 2011 and 2010 due primarily to an increase of $2.5 million in supplies, facilities and other operating costs, and an increase of $1.9 million in salaries and benefits.

 

   

Recovery division same-facility operating expenses increased $4.2 million driven by an increase of $3.1 million in residential facilities and an increase of $1.1 million in CTCs.

Healthy Living Division:

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

 

   

Net revenue increased $0.8 million, or 3.0%, to $25.7 million for the quarter from $24.9 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. The increase in revenue was driven by increases of $1.1 million and $0.6 million within weight management and outdoor programs, respectively, offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in residential facilities. Same-facility net revenue increases were similar to total facility net revenue decreases for the quarter compared to the comparable prior-year quarter.

 

   

Adjusted pro forma EBITDA increased $0.6 million to ($1.5) million for the quarter from ($2.1) million from the comparable prior-year quarter.

 

   

Healthy living division incurred an increase of $5.5 million in operating expense, or 18.8%, primarily driven by non-cash asset impairment charges of $4.4 million and an increase of $2.1 million in salaries and benefits offset by $0.9 million decrease in depreciation and amortization.

 

   

Healthy living division same-facility operating expenses increased $3.7 million primarily due to asset impairment charges of $2.5 million and an increase of $1.8 million in salaries and benefits, offset by decreases of $0.6 million and $0.3 million in depreciation and amortization and provision for doubtful accounts, respectively.


Corporate:

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

 

   

Corporate operating expenses increased $0.9 million or 10.6% for the comparable quarters in 2011 and 2010 due primarily to an increase of $0.8 million in supplies, facilities and other operating costs and an increase of $0.1 million in depreciation and amortization.

EBITDA, Adjusted pro forma operating expenses, Adjusted pro forma operating margins and Adjusted pro forma EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that CRC believes provide useful information to both management and investors concerning its ability to comply with certain covenants in its borrowing arrangements that are tied to these measures and to meet its future debt obligations. CRC also believes that including the effect of these items allows management and investors to better compare CRC’s financial performance from period-to-period, and to better compare CRC’s financial performance with that of its competitors.

Adjusted pro forma EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) from continuing operations, further adjusted for the items listed below in the table entitled “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to CRC Health Corporation to Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.” Adjusted pro forma EBITDA takes into account all adjustments which are excluded from EBITDA for purposes of various covenants in the indenture governing CRC’s 10 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2016 and its senior secured credit facility, as amended to date. Additionally, adjusted pro forma EBITDA is calculated on a consolidated basis and does not give effect to discontinued operations presentation.

When we complete acquisitions during a reporting period, we present our results of operations on a pro forma basis assuming that the acquisition had been completed at the beginning of each period. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that CRC believes are reasonable. Our pro forma results are for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent what CRC’s result of operations or financial position would have been if the acquisitions had actually been completed at the beginning of such period, nor does such information purport to project the results of operations for any future period. We did not complete any acquisitions with a material effect during the periods presented in this press release.

The presentation of these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Although CRC believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following factors: effect of healthcare reform and other changes in government reimbursement for CRC’s services; reductions in the availability of governmental and private financial aid for CRC’s youth treatment programs; CRC’s substantial indebtedness; changes in applicable regulations or a government investigation or assertion that CRC has violated applicable regulations; attempts by local residents to force our closure or relocation; the potentially difficult, unsuccessful or costly integration of recently acquired operations and future acquisitions; the potentially difficult, unsuccessful or costly opening and operating of new treatment programs; implementation of the strategic plan for improving performance of the Aspen business may not be successful; the possibility that commercial payors for CRC’s services may undertake future cost containment initiatives; the limited number of national suppliers of methadone used in CRC’s outpatient treatment clinics; the failure to maintain established relationships or cultivate new relationships with patient referral sources; shortages in qualified healthcare workers; natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods; competition that limits CRC’s ability to grow; the potentially costly implementation of new information systems to comply with federal and state initiatives relating to patient privacy, security of medical information and electronic transactions; the potentially costly implementation of accounting and other management systems and resources in response to financial reporting and other requirements; the loss of key members of CRC’s management; claims asserted against CRC or lack of adequate available insurance; and certain restrictive covenants in CRC’s debt documents.
