NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 15, 2012

CRC Health Corporation Reports Operating Results

For the Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

CUPERTINO, CA, November 15, 2012—CRC Health Corporation, a leading provider of substance abuse treatment and adolescent youth services, announced its results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Operating Results:

Net client service revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $1.7 million, or 1%, to $119.7 million compared to the same period in 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, operating income decreased $3.9 million, or 17%, to $19.8 million compared to the same period in 2011. Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.7 million, or 6%, to $31.7 million compared to the same period in 2011.

“Our operating results in the third quarter were mixed. We demonstrated solid revenue growth and profitability in our recovery business driven by continued strong performance in our CTC facilities coupled with tight expense control. This division grew EBITDA by 15% versus the third quarter of 2011. On the flipside, our youth and weight management businesses underachieved. We remain confident that our investments in sales, marketing and clinical quality management will provide competitive advantage and drive performance,” said Andy Eckert, Chief Executive Officer.

The following table presents our net client service revenues, operating income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin by division (in thousands, except for percentages):

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

Recovery:

 

   

Net client service revenues increased $3.1 million, or 4%, primarily due to a $3.0 million increase from our CTC facilities. The increase in revenues at CTC facilities was due to a combination of increased patient days at the facilities driven by marketing programs and clinically appropriate retention efforts, increased patient days resulting from new CTC facilities that were acquired and opened during the fourth quarter of 2011, as well as certain rate increases across the facilities.

 

   

Operating income increased by $4.1 million, or 16%. This increase was primarily the result of the increase in revenues described above, the decrease in operating expenses at a residential facility in Tennessee, as well as a decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts due to better collection efforts across residential facilities. These effects were partially offset by increases in investments in sales, marketing and clinical quality management, and increases due to new CTC facilities that were acquired and opened during the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA increased $4.2 million, or 15%, to $33.1 million from the comparable prior-year period.

Youth:

 

   

Net client service revenues increased by $0.5 million, or 2%, due to an increase of $0.6 million, or 6%, in residential facilities, offset by a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2%, in outdoor programs. Residential program revenues increased due to increased rates, partially offset by a 4% decrease in patient days. Outdoor program revenues decreased due to a 7% decrease in patient days partially offset by increased rates.

 

   

Operating income decreased by $0.9 million, primarily due to increases in investments in sales, marketing and clinical quality management, partially offset by increases in revenues described above.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.6 million to $1.7 million from the comparable prior-year period.

Weight Management:

 

   

Net client service revenues decreased by $1.8 million, or 15%, primarily due to an 18% decrease in patient days at weight loss programs resulting from a decline in enrollment, partially offset by an increase in rates.

 

   

Operating income decreased by $6.1 million, primarily due to the decrease in net client service revenues noted above, and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses resulting from measures taken in reaction to the decline in enrollment. As enrollment and revenues continued to decline during the third quarter, the Company lowered its forecasted cash flows and tested for possible impairment resulting in a charge of $4.8 million.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1.4 million to $1.9 million from the comparable prior-year period.

Corporate:

 

   

Operating loss increased by $1.0 million, or 13%. The increase is primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits, as well as an increase in professional fees.


Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Operating Results:

Net client service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $4.3 million, or 1%, to $344.0 million compared to the same period in 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, operating income decreased $6.3 million, or 10%, to $54.8 million, compared to the same period in 2011. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.7 million, or 6%, to $81.0 million compared to the same period in 2011.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Recovery:

 

   

Net client service revenues increased $4.1 million, or 2%, primarily due to an $8.1 million increase from CTCs, offset by a $4.0 million decrease from residential facilities. The increase in revenues at our CTC facilities was due to a combination of increased census at our facilities driven by marketing programs and clinically appropriate retention efforts, as well as certain rate increases across our facilities. The decrease in revenues at our residential facilities was primarily driven by a decrease in patient days at our residential facility in Tennessee that was closed for part of the period. The decrease in revenues was partially offset by an increase in patient days at our other residential facilities.

 

   

Operating income decreased by $2.1 million, or 2%. This decrease was primarily the result of increases in investments in sales, marketing and clinical quality management expenses, increases at certain residential facilities to support the increase in patient days, increases in salaries and benefits for additional executive and finance personnel and increases at our CTC facilities to support the increase in patient days and the new CTC facilities that were acquired and opened during the fourth quarter of 2011. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses at our residential facility in Tennessee that was closed for part of the period, as well as increases in revenues described above.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1.3 million, or 1%, to $92.0 million from the comparable prior-year period.

Youth:

 

   

Net client service revenues increased by $3.5 million, or 7%, due to increases of $3.0 million, or 9%, and $0.5 million, or 3%, in our residential facilities and outdoor programs, respectively. Residential program revenues increased due to a 4% increase in patient days and increased rates. Outdoor program revenues increased due to increased rates, partially offset by a 1% decrease in patient days.

 

   

Operating income increased by $4.1 million. This increase was primarily due to a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $1.9 million recorded in the first quarter of 2011 as well as decreases in salaries and benefits, the effects of which were partially offset by increases in investments in sales, marketing and clinical quality management.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.5 million to $3.4 million from the comparable prior-year period.

Weight Management:

 

   

Net client service revenues decreased by $3.3 million, or 13%, primarily due to a 15% decrease in patient days resulting from a decline in enrollment at our weight loss programs, partially offset by an increase in rates.

 

   

Operating income decreased by $6.9 million. This decrease was due primarily to the decrease in revenue described above and the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $4.8 million recorded in the third quarter of 2012 described above, the effects of which were partially offset by a decrease in certain non-recurring expenses from the prior period and a decrease in operating costs at our weight loss programs in reaction to the decline in enrollment.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.9 million to $1.7 million from the comparable prior-year period.

Corporate:

 

   

Operating loss increased by $1.4 million. The increase is primarily due to an increase in professional fees, partially offset by a decrease in debt costs as well as a reduction in other operating expenses.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Under the terms of the our borrowing arrangements, we are required to comply with various covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios, the calculations of which are based on Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our credit agreements. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all such covenants. A breach of these could result in a default under our credit facilities and in our being unable to borrow additional amounts under our revolving credit facility. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed under our credit facilities to be immediately due and payable and the lenders under our term loans and revolving credit facility could proceed against the collateral securing the indebtedness.

The computation of Adjusted EBITDA is provided below to provide an understanding of the impact that Adjusted EBITDA has on our ability to comply with certain covenants in our borrowing arrangements that are 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.
