ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

Dallas, Texas (May 14, 2013) – United Surgical Partners International, Inc. (“USPI” or the “Company”) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

First Quarter Financial Results

For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, consolidated net revenues increased 13% to $145.1 million compared with $128.2 million in the prior year period. Operating income for the first quarter was $58.2 million as compared with $58.1 million for the prior year period. EBITDA less noncontrolling interests increased 4% to $47.8 million versus $45.8 million in the prior year quarter. The operating results for the first quarter were driven by acquisition-related revenue growth, offset by a decrease in same-facility revenue, primarily due to a 3% decrease in same facility volume.

Cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter totaled $38.6 million compared with $50.8 million for the prior year period, due primarily to additional interest expense arising from our April 2012 refinancing. During the first quarter, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries invested approximately $3.2 million in maintenance capital expenditures and an additional $5.6 million to develop new facilities and expand or invest in the infrastructure of 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 March 31, 2013, 150 of the 214 facilities the Company operated were not consolidated.

For the first quarter, the systemwide revenues of the facilities operated by the Company increased 5% on a year-over-year basis, driven by acquisitions. On a same-store basis, systemwide net revenue decreased 1.6%.

Development Activity

During the quarter, the Company opened one de novo facility. The Company expects to add 12 to 15 facilities in 2013.

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

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company 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., and has classified its prior earnings as discontinued operations.

Conclusion

Commenting on the results, William H. Wilcox, USPI’s chief executive officer, said, “We believe that uncertainty regarding the economy and employment, together with continued changes in insurance plan design in some markets, impacted first quarter volumes and results. We remain comfortable with our long-term strategy and have put plans in place that we believe position us well for the remainder of the year.”

The live broadcast of USPI’s first quarter conference call will begin at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on May 15, 2013. A 30-day online replay will be available approximately an hour following the conclusion of the live broadcast. A link to these events can be found on the Company’s website at www.uspi.com or at www.earnings.com. Additional financial information pertaining to United Surgical Partners International may be found by visiting the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website.

USPI, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, currently has ownership interests in or operates 215 facilities, of which 149 are jointly owned with not-for-profit healthcare systems.

The above includes forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. Numerous factors exist that may cause results to differ from these expectations. Many of the factors that will determine the Company’s future results are beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties relating to the Company, including without limitation, (i) reduction in reimbursement from payors; (ii) the Company’s ability to attract physicians and retain qualified management and personnel; (iii) the Company’s significant leverage; (iv) geographic concentrations of certain of the Company’s operations; (v) risks associated with the Company’s acquisition and development strategies; (vi) the regulated nature of the healthcare industry; (vii) the highly competitive nature of the healthcare business; and (viii) those risks and uncertainties described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, the Company’s actual results may differ materially. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

(2) 

Statistics for acquired facilities are included in both periods.

The first quarter of 2013 had one less surgical day than the first quarter of 2012.

(4) 

Calculated as operating income divided by net revenue.

(5) 

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 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.
