BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPNT) today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, revenues from continuing operations were $745.0 million, up 10.4% from $675.1 million for the same period a year ago. Income from continuing operations attributable to LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, increased 12.4% to $32.1 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared with income from continuing operations attributable to LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. of $28.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Net income attributable to LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, was $31.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared with $8.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

For the first nine months of 2009, revenues from continuing operations were $2,215.8 million, up 9.4% from $2,025.9 million for the same period a year ago. Income from continuing operations attributable to LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. for the first nine months of 2009 increased 4.5% to $100.6 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, compared with $96.3 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, for the same period of 2008. Net income attributable to LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $96.1 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, compared with $75.0 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.

In commenting on the results, William F. Carpenter III, president and chief executive officer of LifePoint Hospitals, said, "We are encouraged by the trends we saw in our results for the quarter. In particular, we saw improvement in revenue, EBITDA and EPS. We have also seen improvement in our core measures and other quality indicators. Our operating initiatives, including our enhanced physician recruitment efforts, are gaining traction, and we expect they will continue to drive improved performance.

"Although we are not satisfied with our inpatient admissions, we achieved sequential improvement in admissions, as well as in adjusted admissions this quarter. Admissions growth remains a priority, and it is important to us and our hospitals that more patients receive quality care close to home. In that regard, by being the first to bring state-of-the-art technology to our communities, our hospitals have made it easier for patients to choose our facilities more often over those in distant communities. In addition, the focus of our hospitals on Emergency Department processes, including those intended to improve the patient experience, should strengthen and improve performance."

The Company confirmed its full year 2009 guidance for revenue in a range of $2.9 billion to $3.0 billion, Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $450.0 million to $470.0 million and diluted earnings per share in a range of $2.35 to $2.55.

(1) Continuing operations information includes the results of our same-hospital operations, Rockdale Medical Center and our corporate office and excludes the results of our operations of hospitals that have been disposed of.

(2) Management and investors use equivalent admissions as a general measure of combined inpatient and outpatient volume. Equivalent admissions is computed by multiplying admissions (inpatient volume) by the outpatient factor (the sum of gross inpatient revenue and gross outpatient revenue divided by gross inpatient revenue). The equivalent admissions computation "equates" outpatient revenue to the volume measure (admissions) used to measure inpatient volume resulting in a general measure of combined inpatient and outpatient volume.

(3) Same-hospital information includes the results of the Company's corporate office and the same 46 hospitals operated during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and excludes the results of the Company's February 1, 2009, acquisition of Rockdale Medical Center and the hospitals that have been disposed of.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

Dollars in millions

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; impairment charge; provision for income taxes; loss from discontinued operations and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. LifePoint's management and Board of Directors use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company's operating performance and as a measure of performance for incentive compensation purposes. LifePoint's credit facilities use Adjusted EBITDA for certain financial covenants. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of performance used by some investors, equity analysts and others to make informed investment decisions. In addition, multiples of current or projected Adjusted EBITDA are used to estimate current or prospective enterprise value. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and is susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
