    Discussion of First Quarter Results

    Acadia reported first quarter revenue of $828.8 million, an increase of 7.6% year-over-year. Same-facility revenue increased 7.3%, driven by a 1.6% increase in patient days and a 5.6% increase in revenue per patient day. A portion of the increase in revenue per patient day reflects supplemental payments received from Tennessee and Ohio that were not included in the prior-year period, but were contemplated in the first-quarter 2026 guidance issued in February. Same-facility admissions increased 6.5% compared with the prior-year period. Facilities closed over the last twelve months represented a 1.5% drag to reported revenue growth in the first quarter.

    Acute inpatient psychiatric facility revenue was $470.7 million, an increase of 14% over the prior year's first quarter. First quarter acute inpatient volumes increased 6.2%, driven primarily by expanded capacity from both newly constructed and existing facilities.

    Specialty treatment facility revenue was $128.1 million, a decrease of 6.5% compared with the prior year's first quarter. The revenue decline was related to Specialty facilities in Pennsylvania and the impact from having closed a number of Specialty facilities after the first quarter of 2025.

    Comprehensive treatment facility ("CTC") revenue was $140.4 million, an increase of 2.5% compared with the prior year's first quarter. Residential treatment facility ("RTC") revenue of $89.6 million increased by 6.3% compared to the prior year's first quarter.

    Total operating expenses were $684.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $48.3 million, or 7.6%, over the prior year's first quarter. Total operating expenses included an increase related to the Company's reserve for PLGL costs of $10.3 million, in line with the Company's guidance for 2026, and a $6.0 million increase in provider taxes related to state Medicaid supplemental payment programs.

    Salaries, wages and benefits increased by 4.9% primarily due to new facility openings, which generally run net loss positions as occupancy builds, as well as routine annual wage increases. On a per-patient-day basis, total salaries, wages and benefits increased by 3.3%. Same-facility salaries, wages and benefits increased by 3.7%. On a per-patient-day basis, same-facility salaries, wages and benefits increased by 2.0%.

    Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $144.2 million, compared with $134.2 million in the prior-year period with volume growth in Acute and RTC, along with disciplined cost controls driving the increase. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA was favorably impacted by $3.2 million less in benefit expenses that are expected to reverse in the second half of 2026.

    Interest expense was $38 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with $29 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased borrowings.

    Transaction, legal and other costs were $22 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared with $31 million in the first quarter of 2025. Transaction, legal and other costs include the cost of government investigations, which was $12.4 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $31.0 million in the first quarter of 2025.

    Development Activity

    The Company added 42 beds to existing facilities in the first quarter and added 40 beds from newly constructed facilities, including the Company's joint venture with Tufts Medicine.

    Cash and Liquidity

    As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $158.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $564.8 million available under its $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2026, Acadia's net leverage ratio was 3.9x 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").

    Q2 and Full Year 2026 Financial Guidance

    While Acadia does not typically provide financial guidance for the second quarter, given the substantial out-of-period supplemental payments received from the state of Tennessee in the second quarter of 2025, the Company is choosing to do so this year. Acadia's financial guidance for the second quarter of 2026 and its updated 2026 full year guidance is as follows, subject to the assumptions described below:

     

    Second Quarter 2026 Guidance Range

    Revenue

     

    $835 to $850 million

    Adjusted EBITDA

     

    $142 to $152 million

    Adjusted earnings per diluted share

     

    $0.30 to $0.40

    The Company's second quarter guidance includes the following assumptions:

    • Startup losses of approximately $15 million
    • No incremental new supplemental payments
    • Net leverage at the end of the second quarter is expected at 4.4x-4.5x Adjusted EBITDA (calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement) because of the significant out-of-period benefit from Tennessee supplemental payments in Q2 of 2025. The Company expects net leverage at year-end 2026 to be in the range of 3.9x to 4.2x.

    Capital expenditures

    $255 to $280 million

    The Company expects its Specialty revenue and contribution to Adjusted EBITDA to increase relative to its guidance provided in February; however, the increase in Specialty is expected to be off-set by modestly higher bad debts and denials.

    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.

These factors and others are more fully described in Acadia's periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.

    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, 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, 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.
