Third Quarter Results Chris Hunter, Chief Executive
Officer of Acadia Healthcare Company, remarked, “Our financial
results for the third quarter of 2024 reflect continued execution
of our growth strategy. We have the scale and expertise to support
patients across the continuum of care. We are proud of the
important work we are doing and are committed to providing safe,
quality care for the patients, families and communities we serve
while creating long-term value for our stockholders.”
Strategic Investments for Long-Term Growth During the
third quarter of 2024, the Company continued to make progress in
meeting its strategic growth objectives. This includes the addition
of 15 beds to existing facilities and the addition of five new CTCs
during the quarter. With these additions, Acadia now operates 164
CTCs across 32 states treating over 72,000 patients daily and
remains on track to open up to 14 new CTCs for the full year.
In the first nine months of the year, the Company opened 79 new
beds at existing facilities. For the full year, the Company expects
to open over 400 new beds at existing facilities, including over
300 beds expected in the fourth quarter.
In the first nine months of the year, the Company also opened
two new facilities, totaling 120 beds. The Company remains on pace
to complete construction on several additional new wholly owned and
joint venture facilities, totaling nearly 700 new beds in the
fourth quarter, including joint venture hospitals in partnership
with Henry Ford Health in Detroit, Michigan, and Intermountain
Health in Denver, Colorado, as well as a new de novo facility in
Madison, Wisconsin, which was completed in October. The number of
new beds available to serve patients by the end of the fourth
quarter is subject to the timing of anticipated state-issued
licenses.
Acadia has 21 joint venture partnerships for 22 hospitals, with
11 hospitals already in operation and 11 additional hospitals
expected to open in the coming years.
Cash and Liquidity Maintaining a strong financial
position to support growth investments and disciplined capital
allocation are top priorities for Acadia. As of September 30, 2024,
the Company had $82.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and
$321.5 million available under its $600 million revolving credit
facility with a net leverage ratio of approximately 2.5x.
Net leverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial
measure. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures in
this press release begins on page 8.

enhance marketing programs and improve efficiencies at its

Acadia from government and commercial payors; (iv) the occurrence
of patient incidents, governmental investigations, litigation and
adverse regulatory actions, which could adversely affect the price
of our common stock and result in substantial payments and
incremental regulatory burdens; (v) the risk that Acadia may not
generate sufficient cash from operations to service its debt and
meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements; (vi)
potential disruptions to our information technology systems or a
cybersecurity incident; and (vii) potential operating difficulties,
including, without limitation, disruption to the U.S. economy and
financial markets; reduced admissions and patient volumes;
increased costs relating to labor, supply chain and other
expenditures; changes in competition and client preferences; and
general economic or industry conditions that may prevent Acadia
from realizing the expected benefits of its business strategies.
These factors and others are more fully described in Acadia’s
periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.

including those listed below, which are “non-GAAP financial
measures” as defined under the rules and regulations promulgated by
the SEC. These non-GAAP financial measures include, and are
defined, as follows: •
EBITDA: net income (loss) attributable to
Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. adjusted for net income
attributable to noncontrolling interests, provision for (benefit
from) income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation and
amortization. •
Adjusted EBITDA:
EBITDA adjusted for equity-based compensation expense, transaction,
legal and other costs, legal settlements expense and loss on
impairment. •
Adjusted EBITDA excluding
income from provider relief fund: Adjusted EBITDA adjusted
for income from provider relief fund. •
Adjusted EBITDA margin: Adjusted EBITDA divided by
revenue. •
Adjusted EBITDA margin
excluding income from provider relief fund: Adjusted EBITDA
excluding income from provider relief fund divided by revenue.
•
Adjusted income before income taxes
attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.: net income
(loss) attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. adjusted for
transaction, legal and other costs, legal settlements expense, loss
on impairment and provision for (benefit from) income taxes.
•

income taxes attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.
adjusted for the income tax effect of adjustments to income.
•
Adjusted income attributable to
Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. excluding income from provider
relief fund: Adjusted income attributable to Acadia
Healthcare Company, Inc. adjusted for income from provider relief
fund. •
Net leverage ratio:
Long-term debt (excluding $9.7 million of unamortized debt issuance
costs, discount and premium) less cash and cash equivalents divided
by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months. The
non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are supplemental
measures of our performance and are not required by, or presented
in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measures presented
herein are not measures of our financial performance under GAAP and
should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other
performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an
alternative to cash flow from operating activities as measures of
our liquidity. Our measurements of these non-GAAP financial
measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of
other companies. We have included information concerning the
non-GAAP financial measures in this press release because we
believe that such information is used by certain investors as
measures of a company’s historical performance. We believe these
measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and
other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers of equity
securities, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial
measures when reporting their results. Because the non-GAAP
financial measures are not measurements determined in accordance
with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, the
non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to
other similarly titled measures of other companies. Our
presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should not be
construed as an inference that our future results will be
unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. The Company is
not able to provide a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA
and adjusted earnings per diluted share, where provided, to
expected results due to the unknown effect, timing and potential
significance of transaction-related expenses and the tax effect of
such expenses. (a) Represents the equity-based
compensation expense of Acadia. (b) Represents transaction, legal
and other costs incurred by Acadia primarily related to legal,
government investigations, management transition, termination,
restructuring, acquisition and other similar costs. (c) Represents
legal settlements expense related to the Desert Hills litigation.
(d) Represents non-cash impairment charges related to the closure
of certain facilities. (e) Represents the income tax effect of
adjustments to income based on tax rates of 26.3% and 24.8% for the
three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and
24.5% and 25.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and
2023, respectively. (f) For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2023, approximately 0.5 million and 0.8 million
outstanding shares of restricted stock and shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock option awards,
respectively, have been included in the calculation of
weighted-average shares outstanding-diluted. These shares are
excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share in the
condensed consolidated statement of operations because the net loss
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 causes such
securities to be anti-dilutive.
