Increases 2013 Earnings Guidance to Range of $1.00 to $1.03 from Prior Range of $0.96 to $1.00

FRANKLIN, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (NAS: ACHC) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. Revenue increased 80.0% for the first quarter to $161.2 million from $89.6 million for the first quarter of 2012. Income from continuing operations was $4.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013 compared with $3.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012. Adjusted income from continuing operations increased 178.9% to $10.6 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2012. The adjusted results for the first quarter of 2013 exclude debt extinguishment costs of $9.4 million and transaction-related expenses of $1.5 million and, for the first quarter of 2012, exclude transaction-related expenses of $0.7 million. Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share increased 75.0% to $0.21 for the first quarter of 2013 from $0.12 for the first quarter of 2012, which reflected a 55.4% increase in weighted average shares outstanding for the comparable quarters, primarily due to Acadia's public equity offerings in May 2012 and December 2012. A reconciliation of all GAAP and non-GAAP financial results in this release is on pages 7 and 8.

Joey Jacobs, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Acadia, commented, "Acadia's strong revenue and margin performance continued in the first quarter of 2013. Our revenue growth reflected an increase of over 1,200 beds in the 12 months preceding the end of the quarter, primarily through the acquisition of 12 facilities and the addition of approximately 200 beds to existing facilities. The addition of new beds in our same-facility base contributed to an 8.8% increase in patient days for the quarter, which drove an 8.8% increase in same facility revenue. Our growth continued to generate increased same facility operating leverage, in addition to the positive impact of our increased productivity, as reflected in the same facility EBITDA margin increase of 390 basis points to 25.0% for the first quarter of 2013 from 21.1% for the first quarter last year. Adjusted consolidated EBITDA more than doubled compared to the prior year period for the third consecutive quarter, to $30.5 million, or 18.9% of consolidated revenue, from $15.2 million for the first quarter of 2012.

"At the end of the first quarter, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $99.8 million and approximately $100 million of availability under our revolving credit facility. Our ratio of total net debt to trailing 12 months adjusted EBITDA at the end of the quarter was 3.8. We remain confident of our ability to fund our growth strategies for 2013."

Acadia also today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of two acute inpatient psychiatric facilities in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Tampa, Florida. The San Juan facility, which produced 2012 revenues of approximately $25 million, is licensed for 108 beds and has a certificate of need to build 100 additional beds. The Tampa facility, with 75 beds, is under construction with a scheduled opening in the third quarter of 2013.

Based on the Company's performance for the first quarter and the completion of this acquisition, Acadia increased its guidance for 2013 adjusted earnings per diluted share to a range of $1.00 to $1.03 from the prior range of $0.96 to $1.00. This updated guidance also incorporates the impact of the Company's recent debt issuance, as well as the estimated impact of sequestration on the Company's Medicare reimbursement for the balance of 2013. The Company's guidance 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 Thursday, May 2, 2013. 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 May 16, 2013.
