UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) GENERAL
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of the
Company, are necessary to fairly present results for the interim periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting
policies and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Prior to 1997, the Company included charity care services as a component of its
provision for doubtful accounts. Effective January 1, 1997, in accordance with
health care industry practice, the Company began excluding charity care from net
revenues, and has reclassified the 1996 amounts to conform with this
presentation. The change in presentation has no effect on reported net income.
(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year adjusted to give effect to common stock equivalents.
In April 1996, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split in the form of a
100% stock dividend which was paid in May, 1996. All classes of common stock
participated on a pro rata basis. The weighted average number of common shares
and equivalents and earnings per common and common equivalent share for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one
stock split.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement 128, Earnings
per Share, which is effective for financial statements for periods ending after
December 15, 1997. Pursuant to the provisions of Statement 128, the Company's
basic earnings per share would have been $.67 and $.56 for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and the diluted earnings
per share would have been $.65 and $.54 for the three month periods ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
(3) OTHER LIABILITIES
Other noncurrent liabilities include the long-term portion of the Company's
professional and general liability and workers' compensation reserves.
(4) COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
Under certain agreements, the Company has committed or guaranteed an aggregate
of $13 million related principally to the Company's self-insurance programs and
as support for various debt instruments and loan guarantees.

(5) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the end of the 1997 first quarter, the Company executed a joint
venture partnership agreement, subject to regulatory approval, for the ownership
and operation of The George Washington University Hospital, a 501-bed acute care
facility located in Washington, D.C. The partnership has recently filed for
certificate of need approval. The Company also entered into a management
agreement, which commenced in April 1997, to manage the operations of the
hospital. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, the Company will
provide an immediate commitment of $80 million ($40 million in cash and a $40
million letter of credit) as part of a total intended investment by the
partnership of $125 million over the next ten years for enhancement of the
hospital's operations. The Company will hold an 80% interest in the partnership
and The George Washington University will hold a 20% interest.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The matters discussed in this report as well as the news releases issued from
time to time by the Company contain certain forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, that the
majority of the Company's revenues are produced by a small number of its total
facilities, possible changes in levels and terms of reimbursement for the
Company's charges by government programs or other third party payors, the
ability of the Company to successfully integrate its recent and proposed
acquisitions and the ability to continue to finance growth on favorable terms.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net revenues increased 28% or $74 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997 over the comparable prior year period due primarily to the acquisitions of
a 357-bed medical complex located in Amarillo, Texas and four behavioral health
centers located in Pennsylvania, all of which were acquired during the second
quarter of 1996. Also contributing to the increase in net revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter was
a 6% or $14 million increase in net revenues at hospital facilities owned during
both periods.
Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and lease and
rental expense (EBITDAR) increased 27% or $14 million to $67 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $53 million in the comparable
prior year period. Overall operating margins were 19.7% and 19.9% for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
ACUTE CARE SERVICES
Net revenues from the Company's acute care hospitals, ambulatory treatment
centers and women's center accounted for 85% and 88% of consolidated net
revenues for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Net revenues at the Company's acute care hospitals owned during
both periods increased 7% for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 over
the comparable prior year period while inpatient admissions at these facilities
remained relatively unchanged. Patient days at the Company's acute care
facilities owned during both periods decreased 2% during the 1997 first quarter
as compared to the comparable prior year period due to a 2% decrease in the
average length of stay. Outpatient activity at the Company's acute care
hospitals continues to increase as gross outpatient revenues at the acute care
facilities owned during both periods increased 11% for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to the comparable prior year period and comprised 24%
of the Company's acute care gross patient revenues during the first quarter of
1997 as compared to 23% during the 1996 first quarter. The increase is primarily
the result of advances in medical technologies, which allow more services to be
provided on an outpatient basis, and increased pressure from Medicare, Medicaid,
health maintenance organizations (HMOs), preferred provider organizations (PPOs)
and insurers to reduce hospital stays and provide services, where possible, on a
less expensive outpatient basis. To accommodate the increased utilization of
outpatient services, the Company has expanded or redesigned several of its
outpatient facilities and services.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES
Net revenues from the Company's behavioral health services facilities accounted
for 14% and 12% of the Company's consolidated net revenues for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net revenues at the
Company's behavioral health centers owned during both periods decreased 2% for
the three month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the comparable 1996
quarter. Admissions at the facilities owned during both periods increased 9%
during the 1997 first quarter over the comparable 1996 quarter while patient
days remained relatively unchanged due to 9% decrease in the average length of
stay which decreased to 11.0 days in the 1997 quarter as compared to 12.1 days
during the 1996 quarter. The reduction in the average length of stay is a result
of changing practices in the delivery of behavioral health services and
continued cost containment pressures from payors which includes a greater
emphasis on the utilization of outpatient services. Management of the Company
has responded to these trends by developing and marketing new outpatient
treatment programs. The shift to outpatient care is reflected in higher revenues
from outpatient services, as gross outpatient revenues at the Company's
behavioral health services facilities owned during both periods increased 14%
during the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the comparable prior
year period and comprised 18% of the Company's behavioral health services'
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to 17% during the
1996 first quarter.
OTHER OPERATING RESULTS
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 29% or $4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the comparable prior year period due
primarily to the 1996 acquisitions mentioned above.
Interest expense increased 7% or $300,000 during the 1997 first quarter as
compared to the comparable 1996 period due to the increased borrowings used to
partially finance the 1996 acquisitions mentioned above. In June 1996, the
Company issued four million shares of its Class B Common Stock at a price of $26
per share. The total net proceeds of $99.1 million generated from this stock
issuance were also used to partially finance the 1996 purchase transactions
mentioned above
The effective tax rate was 37% and 36% for the three month periods ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
GENERAL TRENDS
An increased proportion of the Company's revenue is derived from fixed payment
services, including Medicare and Medicaid which accounted for 51% and 48% of the
Company's net patient revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The Company expects the Medicare and Medicaid revenues to
continue to increase as a larger portion of the general population qualifies for
coverage as a result of the aging of the population and expansion of state
Medicaid programs. The Medicare program reimburses the Company's hospitals
primarily based on established rates by a diagnosis related group for acute care
hospitals and by cost based formula for behavioral health facilities.
In addition to the Medicare and Medicaid programs, other payors continue to
actively negotiate the amounts they will pay for services performed. In general,
the Company expects the percentage of its business from managed care programs,
including HMOs and PPOs to grow. The consequent growth in managed care networks
and the resulting impact of these networks on the operating results of the
Company's facilities vary among the markets in which the Company operates.
Page Nine of Twelve Pages
10
In addition to the trends described above that continue to have an impact on
operating results, there are a number of other more general factors affecting
the Company's business. In May 1997, the President and members of Congress
agreed on a tentative five year budget plan which calls for a $115 billion
reduction in the rate of increase in Medicare spending over the next five years.
Included in this proposal are reductions in the future rate of increases to
payments made to hospitals. The Company cannot predict whether the above
proposal or any other proposal will ultimately be adopted, and if adopted, no
assurance can be given that the implementation of such plans will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business. In Texas, a law has been
passed which mandates that the state senate apply for a waiver from current
Medicaid regulations to allow the state to require that certain Medicaid
participants be serviced through managed care providers. The Company is unable
to predict whether Texas will be granted such a waiver or the effect on the
Company's business of such waiver. Upon meeting certain conditions, and serving
a disproportionately high share of Texas' and South Carolina's low income
patients, three of the Company's facilities located in Texas and one in South
Carolina became eligible and received additional reimbursement from each state's
disproportionate share hospital fund. Included in the Company's financial
results was an aggregate of $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997 (including the additional reimbursement received by an acute care facility
acquired during the second quarter of 1996) and $1.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 received pursuant to the terms of these programs.
These programs are scheduled to terminate in the third quarter of 1997 and the
Company cannot predict whether these programs will continue beyond their
scheduled termination date.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was $49 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and $33 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The $16 million increase during the 1997 three month period as compared to the
1996 comparable period was due primarily to a $12 million increase in the net
income plus the addback of the non-cash charges (depreciation, amortization and
provision for self-insurance reserves) and $4 million of other net working
capital changes.
During the first quarter of 1997, the Company spent $31 million to finance
capital expenditures including a total of $17 million on the construction of a
new medical complex (including a 149-bed acute care facility) in Summerlin,
Nevada and a new 130-bed replacement facility in Edinburg, Texas. The Company
also reduced outstanding debt by $17 million.
During the first quarter of 1997, the Company amended its commercial paper
credit facility to increase the borrowing capacity to $75 million from $50
million and to reduce the commitment fee. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had
$206 million of unused borrowing capacity available under its commercial paper
and revolving credit facilities.
