Exhibit 99.1
NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 15, 2007
CRC Health Reports Operating Results
for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2007
CUPERTINO, CA, May 15, 2007 – CRC Health Corporation (“CRC” or the “Company”), the nation’s largest substance abuse treatment and youth treatment provider, announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, reflecting contributions from the acquisition of Aspen Education Group, Inc. (“Aspen”) in the fourth quarter of 2006 and other acquisitions in 2006 and 2007, collectively (the “2006-07 acquisitions”), and continued organic growth. In March 2007, CRC completed one acquisition of a residential youth treatment facility and paid total cash consideration of $1.1 million, including acquisition related expenses.
Bain Capital Partners’ acquisition of CRC
On February 6, 2006, investment funds managed by Bain Capital Partners, LLC (“Bain”) completed the acquisition of CRC for approximately $723.0 million. As part of the transaction, certain members of the CRC management team partnered with Bain by retaining an equity stake in CRC. The acquisition resulted in several large merger-related expenses during the year ended 2006. CRC’s pro forma results excluding these unusual items can be derived from the reconciliation of non-GAAP “EBITDA from continuing operations” to non-GAAP “Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA”, presented below. CRC refers to the February 6, 2006 Bain acquisition, the related mergers and related financings as the “Transactions.”
The date of the Bain acquisition was February 6, 2006, but for accounting purposes and to coincide with its normal financial closing, CRC has utilized February 1, 2006 as the effective date of the Bain acquisition. As a result, CRC has reported operating results and financial position for all periods presented prior to February 1, 2006 as those of the Predecessor Company and for all periods from and after February 1, 2006 as those of the Successor Company due to the resulting change in the basis of accounting. CRC’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are presented as the mathematical addition of CRC’s operating results for the one month ended January 31, 2006
to the operating results for the two months ended March 31, 2006. This approach is not consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and may yield results that are not strictly comparable on a period-to-period basis primarily due to the impact of purchase accounting entries recorded as a result of the Transactions. However, CRC’s management believes that it is a meaningful way to present CRC’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Historical Financial Results
First Quarter Ended March 31, 2007 Financial Results
• | Net revenue for the first quarter of 2007 increased by $49.5 million, or 84.6%, to $107.9 million as compared to $58.5 million in the first quarter of 2006. Of the $49.5 million increase, the youth treatment division contributed $35.7 million and the remaining net revenue growth was driven by net revenue increases of $10.5 million, or 28.6% and $3.3 million, or 15.2%, in CRC’s residential and outpatient treatment divisions, respectively. The net revenue growth in the residential and outpatient treatment divisions was mainly driven by increases of $7.7 million and $1.4 million respectively, resulting from the 2006 acquisitions and the Transactions that were not included in the results of operations for the first quarter of 2006. In addition, same-facility revenue increases in residential and outpatient treatment divisions of $2.3 million or 6.1% and $1.2 million or 5.5%, respectively, resulting from the increases in average daily census and net revenue per patient day contributed to the net revenue growth. |
• | CRC’s operating margin was 14.0% during the first quarter of 2007 compared to (52.7)% in the first quarter of 2006. The operating margin in 2006 was primarily impacted by the one-time expenses of $43.7 million related to the Transactions. The first quarter of 2007 did not incur such material one-time expenses. On a same-facility basis, CRC’s operating margin increased to 36.4% during the first quarter of 2007, as compared to 36.2% in the first quarter of 2006. |
• | Net loss for the first quarter of 2007 was $0.05 million compared to net loss of $38.0 million in the first quarter of 2006. The overall decrease in net loss in the first quarter of 2007 was mainly due to the increase in income from operations of $45.9 million, offset in part by, an increase in interest expense of $6.2 million resulting mainly from the additional borrowings related to the Aspen acquisition. |
Pro Forma Financial Results
Adjusted pro forma EBITDA was $24.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to $22.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $1.8 million, or 8.1%.
In order to supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, CRC is providing a summary to show the computation of
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as well as adjusted pro forma EBITDA. Adjusted pro forma EBITDA takes into account certain adjustments which are excluded from EBITDA for purposes of various covenants in the indenture governing CRC’s 10 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2016 and its amended and restated credit agreement dated November 17, 2006. CRC believes that the adjusted pro forma EBITDA information presented provides useful information to both management and investors concerning its ability to meet its future debt obligations and to comply with certain covenants in its borrowing arrangements that are tied to these measures. CRC also believes that including the effect of these items allows management and investors to better compare CRC’s financial performance from period-to-period, and to better compare CRC’s financial performance with that of its competitors. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The unaudited adjusted pro forma EBITDA for the periods presented give effect to the 2006 acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2006. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The pro forma adjusted EBITDA is for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what CRC’s results of operations or financial position would actually be if the 2006 acquisitions occurred at any date, nor does such information purport to project the results of operations for any future period.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes or may include “forward-looking statements.” All statements included herein, other than statements of historical fact, may constitute forward-looking statements. Although CRC believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following factors: changes in government reimbursement for CRC’s services; our substantial indebtedness; changes in applicable regulations or a government investigation or assertion that CRC has violated applicable regulations; attempts by local residents to force our closure or relocation; the potentially difficult, unsuccessful or costly integration of recently acquired operations and future acquisitions; the potentially difficult, unsuccessful or costly opening and operating of new treatment facilities; the possibility that commercial payors for CRC’s services may undertake future cost containment initiatives; the limited number of national suppliers of methadone used in CRC’s outpatient treatment clinics; the failure to maintain established relationships or cultivate new relationships with patient referral sources; shortages in qualified healthcare workers; natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods; competition that limits CRC’s ability to grow; the potentially costly implementation of new information systems to comply with federal and state initiatives relating to patient privacy, security of medical information and electronic transactions; the potentially costly implementation of accounting and other management systems and resources in response to financial reporting and other requirements; the loss of key members of CRC’s management; claims asserted against CRC or lack of adequate available insurance; and certain restrictive covenants in CRC’s debt documents.
