(NASDAQ: LPNT) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2004, revenues were $256.6 million, up 16.2% from $220.9 million for the same period a year ago. Net income for the quarter totaled $23.9 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, versus net income of $17.7 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the prior-year period. The consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004, reflect an 8.5% increase in total admissions and an 8.8% increase in equivalent admissions compared with the first quarter of 2003. On a same-hospital basis, total admissions increased 5.9% compared with the same period last year, and equivalent admissions increased 5.5% over the prior-year period. Kenneth C. Donahey, president and chief executive officer of LifePoint Hospitals, said, "We are pleased with our strong first quarter performance, which is confirmation that our ongoing strategy of physician recruitment and investing in our existing facilities is effective. External factors such as an improving economy and stable reimbursement environment are working to our advantage. In addition, we continue to excel at expense management and integration of acquisitions on a timely basis with a positive impact on profitability. For all of these reasons, we have a high degree of confidence about the continued success of our company."

Equivalent admissions is computed by multiplying admissions (inpatient volumes) by the outpatient factor (the sum of gross inpatient revenue and gross outpatient revenue and then dividing the resulting amount by gross inpatient revenue). The equivalent admissions computation "equates" outpatient revenue to the volume measure (admissions) used to measure inpatient volume resulting in a general measure of combined inpatient and outpatient volume. (2) Not meaningful. (3) Same-hospital information excludes the operations of hospitals that the Company acquired after January 1, 2003. LIFEPOINT HOSPITALS, INC. UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION Dollars in millions Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, ESOP expense, minority interests in earnings of consolidated entities and income taxes. Our management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and as a measure of performance for incentive compensation purposes. Our bank credit facility uses adjusted EBITDA for numerous financial covenants. We believe adjusted EBITDA is a measure of performance used by some investors, equity analysts and others to make informed investment decisions. In addition, multiples of current or projected adjusted EBITDA are used to estimate current or prospective enterprise value. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, 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 income, 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. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and is susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
