IASIS Healthcare® LLC (“IASIS”) today announced financial and operating results for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2008.

Net revenue for the third quarter totaled $532.6 million, an increase of 18.2%, compared to $450.7 million in the prior year quarter.

A table describing adjusted EBITDA and reconciling net earnings from continuing operations to adjusted EBITDA is included in this press release in the attached Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Operations Information. Net earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter totaled $14.8 million, compared to $6.8 million in the prior year quarter.

IASIS’ net earnings from continuing operations for the prior year quarter include a loss on extinguishment of debt of $6.2 million associated with the refinancing of its senior secured credit facilities and $1.5 million in business interruption insurance recoveries received in connection with the final settlement of the insurance claim associated with the temporary closure and disruption of operations at The Medical Center of Southeast Texas, as a result of Hurricane Rita.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on disposal of assets, minority interests and management fees.  Management fees represent monitoring and advisory fees paid to TPG, the Company’s majority financial sponsor, and certain other members of IASIS Investment LLC.  Management routinely calculates and communicates adjusted EBITDA and believes that it is useful to investors because it is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the healthcare industry to evaluate hospital performance, allocate resources and measure leverage capacity and debt service ability.  In addition, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance for its business segments and for incentive compensation purposes.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and the items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings, cash flows generated by operating, investing, or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity.  Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, differs from what is defined under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, minority interests and management fees.  Management fees represent monitoring and advisory fees paid to TPG, the Company’s majority financial sponsor, and certain other members of IASIS Investment LLC.  Management routinely calculates and communicates adjusted EBITDA and believes that it is useful to investors because it is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the healthcare industry to evaluate hospital performance, allocate resources and measure leverage capacity and debt service ability.  In addition, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance for its business segments and for incentive compensation purposes.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings, cash flows generated by operating, investing, or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity.  Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, differs from what is defined under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
