Acadia Healthcare Announces Second Quarter 2026 Results and Updates Full Year 2026 Financial and Cash Flow Guidance

About this update from Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (“Acadia” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ACHC) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Second Quarter 2026 Results Revenue totaled $865.8 million, which was approximately flat compared with the second quarter of 2025. As described on page 2, total revenue growth in the second quarter was 2.8% 1 after normalizing for prior period supplemental payment program revenue in each of the respective quarters. Same-facility revenue was flat compared with the second quarter of 2025, as patient days increased 0.8% and revenue per patient day decreased 0.8% Net income attributable to Acadia totaled $10.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with $30.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the prior-year period Adjusted net income attributable to Acadia totaled $35.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared with $74.8 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, in the prior-year period Adjusted EBITDA was $149.2 million, compared with $201.8 million in the prior-year period. Second quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA includes a $28.6 million adjustment to professional and general liability (“PLGL”) reserves, which is partially offset by a benefit of $26.1 million related to the Florida supplemental payment program and provider tax adjustments. Operating cash flows were $162.1 million compared to $133.5 million in the prior-year period and capital expenditures were $38.6 million compared to $167.7 million in the prior-year period Added 240 licensed beds during the second quarter from newly constructed facilities Adjusted net income attributable to Acadia, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures in this press release begins on page 10. “Acadia delivered solid results in the second quarter that were driven by our continued focus on disciplined operational execution and providing quality care for our patients,” said Debbie Osteen, Chief Executive Officer of Acadia. “We made significant progress on our key priorities during the second quarter, including opening two new facilities with JV partners, continuing to ramp occupancy at our new facilities opened over the last few years, and generating strong free cash flow. We are well-positioned for additional progress in the second half of the year as we build upon our leadership position in the behavioral healthcare industry and continue expanding access to quality care for our patients.” _________________________ 1 Calculated as (A)/(B) minus 1, where (A) equals total revenue in the second quarter of 2026 of $865.8 million minus $22.3 million of revenue from the Florida supplement payment program related to prior periods, and (B) equals total revenue in the second quarter of 2025 of $869.2 million minus $48.7 million of revenue from the Tennessee supplemental payment program for prior periods Second Quarter Financial Summary     (dollars in millions, except per share amounts)   2026   2025   Change (%)   Acute Inpatient Psychiatric Facilities   $494.6   $495.4   0% Specialty Treatment Facilities $133.5 $145.8 (8%) Comprehensive Treatment Facilities   $141.2   $141.5   0% Residential Treatment Facilities $96.5 $86.5 12% Total Revenue   $865.8   $869.2   0% Reported Net Income $10.9 $30.1 (64%) Adjusted EBITDA   $149.2   $201.8   (26%) Reported EPS $0.12 $0.33 (64%) Adjusted EPS   $0.38   $0.83   (54%) Discussion of Second Quarter Results Total revenue in the second quarter was $865.8 million, which was approximately flat compared with the prior-year period. Second quarter revenue includes $22.3 million from the Florida supplemental payment program related to the state fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. The second quarter of 2025 included $48.7 million of revenue from the Tennessee supplemental payment program for prior periods. Total revenue growth in the second quarter was 2.8% 2 after normalizing for prior period supplemental payment program revenue in each of the respective quarters. Additionally, closed facilities represented a 1.4% negative impact to reported revenue growth in the second quarter. Same-facility revenue in the second quarter was flat compared with the prior-year period. Same-facility patient days increased 0.8%, and same-facility revenue per patient day decreased 0.8%. The decline in same-facility revenue per patient day was driven by the timing of supplemental payment revenue in certain states. After normalizing for the impact of the timing of supplemental payment revenue related to prior periods in Florida and Tennessee, same-facility revenue growth would have been 3.2% 3 compared with the prior-year period. Acute inpatient psychiatric facility (“Acute”) revenue was $494.6 million, which was flat compared with the prior-year period. After normalizing for the impact of supplemental payment revenue related to prior periods in Florida and Tennessee, Acute revenue increased 5.7% 4 in the second quarter compared to the prior-year period. Second quarter Acute inpatient volumes increased 5.5% compared with the prior-year period, driven primarily by expanded capacity from both newly constructed and existing facilities. _________________________ 2 Calculated as (A)/(B) minus 1, where (A) equals total revenue in the second quarter of 2026 of $865.8 million minus $22.3 million of revenue from the Florida supplement payment program related to prior periods, and (B) equals total revenue in the second quarter of 2025 of $869.2 million minus $48.7 million of revenue from the Tennessee supplemental payment program for prior periods 3 Calculated as (A)/(B) minus 1, where (A) equals same-facility revenue in the second quarter of 2026 of $856.4 million minus $22.3 million of revenue from the Florida supplement payment program related to prior periods, and (B) equals same same-facility revenue in the second quarter of 2025 of $856.8 million minus $48.7 million of revenue from the Tennessee supplemental payment program for prior periods 4 Calculated as (A)/(B) minus 1, where (A) equals Acute revenue in the second quarter of 2026 of $494.6 million minus $22.3 million of revenue from the Florida supplement payment program related to prior periods, and (B) equals Acute revenue in the second quarter of 2025 of $495.4 million minus $48.7 million of revenue from the Tennessee supplemental payment program for prior periods Specialty treatment facility revenue was $133.5 million, a decrease of 8.4% compared with the prior-year period. The revenue decline was related to Specialty facilities in Pennsylvania and the impact from having closed several Specialty facilities after the second quarter of 2025. Comprehensive treatment facility (“CTC”) revenue was $141.2 million, which was flat compared with the prior-year period. Residential treatment facility (“RTC”) revenue was $96.5 million, an increase of 11.6% compared with the prior-year period. Total operating expenses were $727.6 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 7.3% compared with the prior-year period. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 include a $28.6 million adjustment to PLGL reserves for expected settlements of certain claims from the 2025 policy year. Excluding the $28.6 million adjustment to PLGL reserves, total operating expenses increased by 3.1% compared with the prior-year period. Salaries, wages and benefits were $474.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 4.8% compared with the prior-year period. The increase is primarily due to new facility openings as well as routine annual wage increases. Same-facility salaries, wages and benefits increased by 4.4%. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $149.2 million, compared with $201.8 million in the prior-year period. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA compared with the prior-year period was primarily driven by a $39.3 million increase in PLGL costs, which includes the $28.6 million adjustment to the Company’s reserve for PLGL costs, and by the timing of supplemental payments related to prior periods in certain states. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA includes a $26.1 million benefit related to the Florida supplemental payment program and provider tax adjustments, compared to a $39.5 million benefit in the second quarter of 2025 from the Tennessee supplemental payment program related to prior periods. Development Activity In June, the Company opened a 144-bed joint venture facility with Orlando Health in Florida, and a 96-bed joint venture facility with Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Iowa. In addition to the 240 beds added from these new facilities, the Company also opened two new CTC locations during the second quarter. Cash and Liquidity As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $171.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $669.8 million available under its $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2026, Acadia’s net leverage ratio was 4.1x Adjusted EBITDA, calculated in accordance with its Credit Agreement as disclosed in the Company’s latest periodic reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 2026 Financial Guidance Acadia today updated its financial guidance for 2026, as follows:   Full Year 2026 July Guidance Range Full Year 2026 April Guidance Range Revenue   $3.40 to $3.45 billion $3.37 to $3.45 billion Adjusted EBITDA   $590 to $615 million $580 to $615 million Adjusted earnings per diluted share   $1.45 to $1.60 $1.35 to $1.60 Operating Cash Flow   $350 to $400 million $285 to $325 million Capital expenditures   $235 to $255 million $255 to $280 million The Company’s guidance does not include the impact of any future acquisitions, divestitures, transaction, legal and other costs or non-recurring legal settlements expense.

Footnotes   We have included certain financial measures in this press release, 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 attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. adjusted for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, provision for income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation and amortization.   • Adjusted EBITDA : EBITDA adjusted for equity-based compensation expense, transaction, legal and other costs, debt extinguishment costs, legal settlements expense, loss on impairment and gain on sale of property, net.   • Adjusted income before income taxes attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. : net income attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. adjusted for transaction, legal and other costs, debt extinguishment costs, legal settlements expense, loss on impairment, gain on sale of property, net, and provision for income taxes.   • Adjusted income attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. : Adjusted income before income taxes attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. adjusted for the income tax effect of adjustments to income.   • Total facility adjusted EBITDA : Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for general and administrative costs related to our corporate functions. General and administrative costs directly related to the facilities are included in total facility results.   • Same facility adjusted EBITDA : Adjusted EBITDA for facilities and services to those facilities operated in both the current and prior year. These metrics exclude the operating results associated with facilities under operation for less than one year and facilities acquired, divested or removed from service during the current or prior year.   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.   Total facility results include operating results for all of our facilities and services but exclude general and administrative costs related to our corporate functions. Such costs related to our corporate functions include, amongst others, costs for accounting and finance, information systems, human resources, legal and operational and executive leadership. General and administrative costs directly related to the facilities are included in facility results. Such costs directly related to our facilities include, amongst others, labor at the facility level, insurance, including property, professional, legal and general liability insurance, hospital supplies, including medication, utilities and food service, and general maintenance costs for the facility. We determine which general and administrative costs to exclude and include in total facility results by ensuring those costs directly associated with facility operations are captured at the facility level for reporting. Note that total facility costs include those related to new facilities and the cost of closure and run-out costs related to facilities we have closed. We believe that providing results on a total facility basis is helpful to our investors as a measure of our financial and operating performance because it neutralizes the impact of corporate-level items that do not arise out of our core operations at our facilities.   Same facility results include operating results only for facilities and services operated in both the current and prior year. These metrics exclude the operating results associated with facilities under operation for less than one year and facilities acquired during the current or prior year, as well as facilities divested or removed from service. We believe that providing results on a same facility basis is helpful to investors because it neutralizes the impact of new facilities that are in early stages of operation and facilities that we no longer operate, each of which may distort investors’ understanding of the Company’s underlying performance at our existing and continuing facilities. Further, we believe that providing same facility information is helpful to our investors as a measure of the financial and operating performance of our existing and continuing facilities on a comparable basis, and same facility results provide investors with information useful in understanding underlying organic growth in such facilities. For these reasons, we believe that same facility results are particularly useful during periods of significant expansion or contraction.   Total facility results reflect adjustments that are intended to provide the specific presentation described above, and same facility results reflect adjustments that may be irregular in timing from period to period related to newly opened or acquired facilities or facilities that we no longer operate, and may omit certain results that investors may view as important. Total facility and same facility results may therefore not be indicative of the overall performance of our business and should be not be considered as alternatives for net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.   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. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. Footnotes (continued)   (a) Represents the equity-based compensation expense of Acadia. Equity-based compensation expense is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that the cost of equity awards granted to employees does not contribute to the earnings potentially available for distributions to Acadia's equity holders or reinvestment into the Company's business.   (b) Represents transaction, legal, and other costs incurred by Acadia primarily related to the following categories: (1) government investigations; (2) termination and restructuring costs; (3) legal, accounting, and other acquisition-related costs; and (4) management transition costs. Government investigations include legal fees and settlement costs related to certain litigation. Termination and restructuring costs include costs, net of gains, incurred related to workforce reductions, contract amendments, and the closure and disposition of certain facilities, including related lease terminations. Legal, accounting and other acquisition-related costs include costs incurred for the development of new facilities ($0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively) and legal and settlement costs incurred related to certain litigation not included in government investigations ($9.1 million and $9.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $0.4 million and $(2.6) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively). Management transition costs consist primarily of severance benefits incurred with the departure of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Christopher H. Hunter. The table below quantifies each of the components of transaction, legal and other costs for the periods presented. Such transaction, legal and other costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that the nature, size, and number of these costs can vary dramatically from period to period and between Acadia and its peers and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.   Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30,   2026     2025     2026     2025   (in thousands) Government investigations $ 7,471 $ 53,526 $ 19,893 $ 84,538   Termination and restructuring costs   5,784   10,074   10,746   12,239   Legal, accounting and other acquisition-related costs   9,324   825   10,040   (1,280 ) Management transition costs   —   —   3,913   —   Transaction, legal, and other costs $ 22,579 $ 64,425 $ 44,592 $ 95,497     (c) Represents debt extinguishment costs recorded during the first quarter of 2025 in connection with the refinancing of the prior credit facility. Debt extinguishment is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that this expense is unrelated to Acadia’s day-to-day business operations and not indicative of Acadia’s ongoing operating results.   (d) Represents legal settlements expense in excess of the Company's primary and excess insurance policies. Legal settlements expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026, relates to costs associated with the settlement of Sandoval v. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., Marin County Super. Ct. No. CIV1802171. Legal settlements expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025, relates to costs associated with the Desert Hills litigation. Legal settlements expense is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that this expense is unrelated to Acadia’s day-to-day business operations and not indicative of Acadia’s ongoing operating results.   (e) Represents non-cash impairment charges. Non-cash impairment charges are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that these charges are unrelated to Acadia’s day-to-day business operations and not indicative of Acadia’s ongoing operating results.   (f) Represents gain on facility property sales, net. Net gains from facility property sales are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that these gains are unrelated to Acadia’s day-to-day business operations and not indicative of Acadia’s ongoing operating results.   (g) Represents general and administrative costs related to our corporate functions, including, amongst others, costs for accounting and finance, information systems, human resources, legal and operational and executive leadership. We determine which general and administrative costs to exclude and include in total facility results by ensuring those costs directly associated with facility operations are captured at the facility level for reporting. Corporate general and administrative costs are excluded to present Total Facility Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that providing results on a total facility basis is helpful to our investors as a measure of the financial and operating performance of our core operations at our facilities.   (h) Represents the portion of EBITDA for the periods presented attributable to de novos and acquired facilities in operation for less than one year and facilities closed during such period. De novos are newly developed facilities built by Acadia or with a joint venture partner. Such amounts are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA to present Same Facility Adjusted EBITDA because we believe providing same facility information is helpful to our investors as a measure of the financial and operating performance of our existing and continuing facilities on a comparable basis, and same facility results provide investors with information useful in understanding underlying organic growth in such facilities.   (i) Represents the income tax effect of adjustments to income based on tax rates of 27.3% and 24.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 26.8% and 24.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We believe excluding the income tax effect of adjustments to income assists investors in understanding the tax provision associated with those adjustments and the effect on net income.   View source version on businesswire.com: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260728636852/en/
