Commenting on the quarter, O. Edwin French, MedCath President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "During our third fiscal quarter, we continued to make progress regarding our strategic options process, completing the sale of our MedCath Partners division and announcing two hospital transactions that closed August 1. Operationally, our results this quarter were impacted by a 9.8% reduction in open heart procedures, contributing to a decline in net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, and lower financial results at one hospital that was sold during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2011."

Operating Statistics and Debt Repayment

MedCath's financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, reflect a 1.2% decrease in total admissions and a 0.7% decrease in adjusted admissions compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Hospital outpatient cases, including emergency department visits, totaled 15,493 in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, up 8.6% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Total uncompensated care, which includes charity care plus bad debt expense, equaled 13.6% of hospital division net patient revenue before the deduction for charity care in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 13.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

We received $29.8 million in cash from the sale of assets during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, which was used, together with cash on hand, to repay $30.2 million in third party debt outstanding.

Update on Strategic Options Process

On August 1, 2011, MedCath announced the completion of separate transactions related to the sale of its equity interest in Arkansas Heart Hospital and the sale of substantially all the assets of Heart Hospital of New Mexico. These transactions represented the eighth and ninth transactions since MedCath announced its strategic options process in March 2010. MedCath anticipates that final net proceeds from these two transactions, after liquidation of retained assets and prior to payment of any contingent or unknown liabilities, to be approximately $122.0 million. Following these transactions, MedCath owns interest and operates four hospitals, three of which it owns a majority interest and one in which it owns a minority interest.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this press release and the supplemental financial information furnished herewith are certain financial measures that are not calculated and presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP measures"), such as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ("Adjusted EPS").

Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of fiscal quarter of 2010 represents MedCath's loss from continuing operations, net of taxes attributable to MedCath's common stockholders, income tax benefit; net income attributable to non-controlling interests; equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates; interest and other income, net; loss on note receivable; interest expense; (gain) loss on disposal of property, equipment and other assets; impairment of long-lived assets; depreciation; per-opening expenses; share-based compensation expense, and professional fees associated with MedCath's exploration of strategic options.

MedCath's management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the performance of MedCath's various operating entities, to compare actual results to historical and budgeted results and to make capital allocation decisions. Management provides Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to investors to assist them in performing their analyses of MedCath's historical operating results. Further, management believes that many investors in MedCath also invest in, or have knowledge of, other healthcare companies that use Adjusted EBITDA and/or Adjusted EPS as a financial performance measure. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP measures, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, as defined above, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. MedCath has included a supplemental schedule with the financial statements that accompanies this press release that reconciles historical Adjusted EBITDA to MedCath's income from continuing operations attributable to MedCath's common stockholders and Adjusted EPS to diluted EPS from continuing operations.

Parts of this announcement contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Although management believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant economic, regulatory and competitive uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and are beyond our control including, but not limited to, the implementation of healthcare reform legislation and future enactment of changes in federal law that would further limit physician hospital ownership. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We do not assume any obligation to update these statements in a news release or otherwise should material facts or circumstances change in ways that would affect their accuracy. The preparation of MedCath's third quarter of fiscal 2011 operating results required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of revenues and expenses. There is a reasonable possibility that actual results may vary significantly from those estimates.

These various risks and uncertainties are described in detail in "Risk Factors" in MedCath's Annual Report or Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 2010, as amended.

    (a)     Selected operating data includes consolidated hospitals in
    operation as of the end of the period reported in continuing
    operations but does not include hospitals which are accounted for
    using the equity method or as discontinued operations in our
    consolidated financial statements.
    (b)     Combined operating data includes hospitals in operation as of
    the end of the period reported in continuing operations including
    hospitals which are accounted for using the equity method in our
    consolidated financial statements.
    (c)   Licensed beds represent the number of beds for which the
    appropriate state agency licenses a facility regardless of whether
    the beds are actually available for patient use.
    (d)   Staffed and available beds represent the number of beds that
    are readily available for patient use at the end of the period.
    (e)   Admissions represent the number of patients admitted for
    inpatient treatment.
    (f)   Adjusted admissions is a general measure of combined inpatient

    multiplying the quotient by admissions.
    (g)   Patient days represent the total number of days of care
    provided to inpatients.
    (h)  Adjusted patient days is a general measure of combined inpatient
    and outpatient volume.  We computed adjusted patient days by
    dividing gross patient revenue by gross inpatient revenue and then
    multiplying the quotient by patient days.
    (i)  Average length of stay (days) represents the average number of
    days inpatients stay in our hospitals.
    (j)  We computed occupancy by dividing patient days by the number of
    days in the period and then dividing the quotient by the number of
    staffed and available beds.
    (k)    Inpatients with a catheterization procedure represent the
    number of inpatients with a procedure performed in one of the
    hospitals' catheterization labs during the period.
    (l)    Inpatient surgical procedures represent the number of surgical
    procedures performed on inpatients during the period.
