LOGO] CONTACT: Brent Turner Vice President, Treasurer and Investor Relations (615) 312-5700 PSYCHIATRIC SOLUTIONS REPORTS EARNINGS PER DILUTED SHARE INCREASE 72% IN THIRD QUARTER --------------------------------- SAME-FACILITY REVENUE EXPANDS 8.5% --------------------------------- ESTABLISHES EARNINGS GUIDANCE FOR 2005 Franklin, Tenn. (October 28, 2004) - Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. ("PSI") (Nasdaq: PSYS) today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Revenue for the quarter was $131,591,000, up 40% from $93,923,000 for the third quarter of 2003. Net income available to common stockholders increased 148% to $5,215,000 for the third quarter of 2004, from $2,103,000 for the third quarter last year. Earnings per diluted share increased 72% for the quarter to $0.31 from $0.18 for the third quarter of 2003, on a 30% increase in the diluted share count. Revenue for the first nine months of 2004 increased 87% to $351,957,000 from $188,455,000 for the first nine months of 2003. Net income available to common stockholders increased 361% to $9,778,000 for the latest nine months from $2,121,000 for the comparable period in 2003, while earnings per diluted share increased 150% to $0.60 from $0.24. PSI's adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 48% to $0.83 for the first nine months of 2004 from $0.56 for the first nine months of 2003. Adjusted results for the first nine months of 2004 exclude a loss on refinancing of long-term debt of $6,407,000, or $0.23 per diluted share after tax. Adjusted results for the first nine months of 2003 exclude a net loss on the refinancing of long-term debt, change in the valuation of put warrants and reserve on stockholders notes of $5,159,000, or $0.32 per diluted share after tax. Please see page 7 for a reconciliation of adjusted earnings per diluted share with earnings per diluted share. Commenting on the announcement, Joey Jacobs, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of PSI, said, "We are pleased to report significant profitable growth for the third quarter of 2004 as a result of our continued substantial organic growth and accretive acquisitions. We again demonstrated strong execution of our internal growth strategies with an 8.5% increase in same-facility revenues for the third quarter. In addition to extending our record for same-facility revenue growth to eight consecutive quarters, our third quarter results included the 11 facilities acquired in June 2003, increasing the number of facilities in the same-facility base to 22. Once again, demand for our services was strong as reflected in the growth in same-facility patient days and admissions of 7.2% and 6.8%, respectively. -MORE- PSYS Reports Third Quarter Results Page 2 October 28, 2004 "PSI's third quarter financial results also reflected the nearly 50% growth in our total beds in operation to over 4,000 at the end of the third quarter from over 2,700 at the end of the third quarter last year. The majority of this increase came through our acquisitions of 12 inpatient facilities since the end of the third quarter last year. Because of the highly fragmented nature of the inpatient psychiatric business, we expect to continue to make acquisitions through our disciplined evaluation of potential transactions that meet our acquisition criteria." Based on PSI's financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 and its assumptions regarding the fourth quarter of 2004, PSI today affirmed its established guidance for adjusted earnings per diluted share for 2004 in a range of $1.12 to $1.16. Adjusted earnings per diluted share exclude the first quarter loss on the refinancing of long-term debt of $6,407,000, or $0.23 per diluted share after tax. In addition, PSI today established its guidance for earnings per diluted share for 2005 in a range of $1.35 to $1.40. This guidance does not include any impact from future acquisitions. Mr. Jacobs concluded, "PSI's financial performance for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 strongly supports our confidence in the Company's prospects for continued profitable growth. Even as we have demonstrated the strength of our operating and acquisition strategies during these periods, we have continued to refine and improve our business model to enhance our ability to meet increasing market demand for our services. In managing our rapid growth into a leading national provider of inpatient psychiatric care, we have also maintained a fundamental commitment to the highest quality care."

(a) PSI believes its calculation of adjusted earnings per diluted share provides a better measure of the Company's ongoing performance and provides better comparability to prior periods because it excludes items not related to the Company's core business operations and it is not influenced by fluctuations in the Company's stock price. Adjusted earnings per diluted share should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and the items excluded from it are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because adjusted earnings per diluted share is not a measurement determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, it may not be comparable as presented to other similarly titled measures of other companies. (b) For purposes of calculating adjusted earnings per diluted share, includes 323 diluted shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 representing convertible debt that is anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating earnings per diluted share. Also for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, interest on convertible debt of $124 has been added to adjusted net income for purposes of calculating adjusted earnings per diluted share. -MORE- PSYS Reports Third Quarter Results Page 8 October 28, 2004 PSYCHIATRIC SOLUTIONS, INC.

(a) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before discontinued operations, interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before discontinued operations, interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation and other items included in the caption above labeled "Other expenses". These other expenses may occur in future periods but the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period and do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our health care facilities. PSI's management relies on EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as the primary measures to review and assess operating performance of its facilities and their management teams. PSI believes it is useful to investors to provide disclosures of its operating results on the same basis as that used by management. Management and investors also review EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate PSI's overall performance and to compare PSI's current operating results with corresponding periods and with other companies in the health care industry. You should not consider EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating cash flows or other cash flow statement data determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are susceptible to varying calculations, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. -MORE- PSYS Reports Third Quarter Results Page 9 October 28, 2004 PSYCHIATRIC SOLUTIONS, INC.
