BRENTWOOD, TN. (February 24, 2005) — Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CYH) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004.
Net operating revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2004, totaled $871.7 million, a 10.9% increase compared with $785.8 million for the same period last year. Income from continuing operations increased 13.1% to $40.6 million, or $0.44 per share (diluted), on 97.5 million weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, compared with $35.9 million, or $0.35 per share (diluted), on 108.7 million weighted average shares outstanding for the same period last year. Net income increased 12.9% to $40.2 million, or $0.43 per share (diluted), compared with $35.6 million, or $0.35 per share (diluted), for the same period last year. Discontinued operations consists of an after-tax loss of approximately $0.4 million, less than $0.01 per share (diluted), related to the sale of two hospitals and the designation of a third hospital as being held for sale. Refer to pages 4 and 5 for “Financial Highlights.”
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $130.0 million, compared with $118.6 million for the same period last year, representing a 9.6% increase. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to exclude discontinued operations, loss from early extinguishment of debt and minority interest in earnings. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of liquidity. Net cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $62.6 million, compared with $45.3 million for the same period last year, an increase of 38.0%.
The consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2004, reflect a 1.0% increase in total admissions compared with the same period last year. This increase is attributable to hospitals that have been acquired by the Company during 2004. On a same-store basis, admissions decreased 3.4% and adjusted admissions decreased 1.3% compared with the same period last year, primarily due to the lack of a flu season and a decrease in the number of respiratory illnesses treated. On a same-store basis, net operating revenues increased 5.3%, compared with the same period last year.

Net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004, totaled $3.3 billion, compared with $2.8 billion for the same period last year, a 19.2% increase, again demonstrating the Company’s successful integration of acquisitions over the last several years. Income from continuing operations increased 19.8% to $158.2 million or $1.58 per share (diluted), on 105.9 million weighted averages shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared with $132.0 million, or $1.30 per share (diluted) on 108.1 million weighted average shares outstanding, for the same period last year. Income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2004, was reduced by approximately $1.4 million after taxes, or $0.01 per share (diluted), as a result of approximately $1.3 million in expenses incurred in connection with the registration and offering of common stock of certain of the Company’s selling stockholders, and an approximate $0.8 million loss from early extinguishment of debt related to the refinancing of the Company’s credit agreement. Year end results also included an estimated after tax loss of approximately $2.1 million, or $0.02 per share (diluted), as a result of a series of hurricanes which negatively impacted the volumes and operating results of selected hospitals during the third and fourth quarters of 2004.
Discontinued operations consist of an after-tax loss of approximately $6.8 million, or $0.07 per share (diluted), related to the sale of two hospitals and an impairment write-down related to the designation of a third hospital as being held for sale. Net income increased 15.2% to $151.4 million, or $1.51 per share (diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared with $131.5 million, or $1.30 per share (diluted) for the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2004, was $497.1 million, compared with $434.0 million for the same period last year, a 14.6% increase. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2004, was $325.8 million, compared with $243.7 million for the same period last year, an increase of 33.7%.
The consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2004, reflect an 11.5% increase in total admissions compared with the same period last year. On a same-store basis, admissions decreased 0.2%, adjusted admissions increased 1.3%, and net operating revenues increased 6.6%, compared with the same period last year.
“We are very pleased with Community Health Systems’ strong financial performance for 2004,” commented Wayne T. Smith, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Community Health Systems, Inc. “Our gains in the fourth quarter are especially gratifying when compared with our impressive finish in 2003 and in light of the fact that the flu season failed to materialize by the end of 2004. Our successful expense management – in tandem with our focus on our effective, standardized operating platform, a proven acquisition strategy, successful physician recruitment, and our favorable reputation in the marketplace – all worked together to allow us to surpass our financial and operating objectives.”
During 2004, Community Health Systems, Inc. completed two acquisitions of community hospitals. On July 1, 2004, the Company acquired Galesburg Cottage Hospital (170 beds) in Galesburg, Illinois, and completed the acquisition of Phoenixville Hospital (143 beds) in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, on August 1, 2004.
“Our Galesburg and Phoenixville acquisitions have been assimilated into our network of non-urban hospitals, and we expect them to provide additional growth opportunities for the Company as we expand our coverage into new markets,” added Smith. “Our acquisition strategy will continue to be a strong component of our success, enabling us to grow our operating base and extend services into new communities, while delivering greater value to our shareholders.”
On January 20, 2005, the Company announced the execution of a definitive agreement to acquire Chestnut Hill Hospital (183 beds) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

(a) Pursuant to FASB No. 144, the Company has restated its prior period financial statements and statistical results to reflect the reclassification as discontinued operations the sale of two hospitals and the designation of a third hospital as being held for sale.
(b) EBITDA consists of income before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to exclude discontinued operations, loss from early extinguishment of debt and minority interest in earnings. We have from time to time sold minority interests in certain of our subsidiaries or acquired subsidiaries with existing minority interest ownership positions. We believe that it is useful to present adjusted EBITDA because it excludes the portion of EBITDA attributable to these third party interests and clarifies for investors our Company’s portion of EBITDA generated by our continuing operations. We use adjusted EBITDA as a measure of liquidity. We have included this measure because we believe it provides investors with additional information about our ability to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is the basis for a key component in the determination of our compliance with some of the covenants under our senior secured credit facility, as well as to determine the interest rate and commitment fee payable under the senior secured credit facility.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance and liquidity. Our calculation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

(c) Includes approximately $1.3 million of expenses incurred in connection with the registration and offering of common stock and the repurchase of common stock by us.
(d) Income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2004, was reduced by approximately $1.4 million or $0.01 per share (diluted) after taxes as a result of approximately $1.3 million in expenses incurred in connection with the registration and offering of common stock and the repurchase of common stock by us, and an approximate $0.8 million loss from early extinguishment of debt related to the refinancing of our credit agreement. Income from continuing operations for the year also included an after tax loss of approximately $2.1 million or $0.02 per share (diluted) as a result of the series of hurricanes.
(e) Adjusted to include assumed exercise of employee stock options and assumed conversion of convertible notes. Since the income per share impact of the conversion of the convertible notes is less than the basic income per share for both periods presented, the convertible notes are dilutive and accordingly must be included in the fully diluted calculation (after tax interest savings of $2.2 million per quarter and 8.6 million shares added to the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share).
