ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
On November 30, 2006, Universal Hospital Services, Inc. will present at the Piper Jaffray Health Care Conference in New York City. As part of that presentation, UHS will update its guidance on Capital Spending for 2006, which is estimated to increase from the upper-$40 million range to the mid-$50 million range. UHS is experiencing accelerated opportunities around customer conversions related to new GPO signings, as well as seeing continued robust opportunities in its AMPP resident programs. These activities will not contribute materially to Adjusted EBITDA in 2006, but are expected to be additive in 2007. Thus, 2006 guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Total Debt / Adjusted EBITDA remains unchanged. Refer to the appendix of the attached presentations for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Cash Flow from Operations.
Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report, and incorporated herein by reference, is a copy of the slide presentation to be made during the Piper Jaffray Health Care Conference on November 30, 2006.
Attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this report, and incorporated herein by reference, is a copy of the slide presentation to be made at the Bank of America Credit Conference on December 4, 2006 in Orlando, Florida.
