Acadia Healthcare 2025 Q2 Earnings Declining Profits Amid Revenue Growth

Acadia Healthcare (ACHC) reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 6, 2025. The company delivered revenue growth but saw a significant decline in earnings, missing expectations in key profitability metrics.

Acadia Healthcare reported a 9.2% increase in total revenue to $869.23 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $796.04 million in the same period of 2024. This growth was broad-based, with Medicaid remaining the largest contributor at $516.39 million. Commercial revenue stood at $209 million, Medicare at $119.50 million, and Self-Pay at $12.70 million, with additional revenue streams contributing $11.64 million in the “Other” category. The performance highlights the company’s continued reliance on Medicaid funding, while also showing expansion in commercial and government lines.

The company’s earnings, however, declined sharply. Earnings per share (EPS) dropped 61.6% to $0.33 from $0.86 in the prior year, while net income fell to $37.94 million, a 53.1% decrease from $80.82 million. These results reflect a challenging environment for profitability despite top-line gains.

The stock price of Acadia Healthcare edged up 1.30% during the latest trading day but declined 2.25% during the most recent full trading week and dropped 6.85% month-to-date.

Following the earnings release, buying shares of Acadia Healthcare and holding for 30 days generated a modest return of approximately 5%, although it underperformed the S&P 500 during that period. This suggests a conservative investment approach may be appropriate for ACHC, aligning with its current market positioning.

Christopher N. Hussey, CEO of Acadia Healthcare, emphasized the company’s commitment to operational efficiency and strategic growth during the Q2 2025 earnings call. He noted that despite a challenging reimbursement environment, Acadia remains focused on cost management, strengthening its behavioral health services through targeted investments in existing facilities and technology-driven care models. Hussey reaffirmed the company’s dedication to delivering consistent performance and maintaining its leadership in the behavioral healthcare sector.

For the remainder of 2025, Acadia expects to maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation and cost management. While no specific numerical targets were provided, management anticipates full-year revenue growth in line with current operational trends and expects EPS performance to remain consistent with historical patterns. Continued investment in clinical and operational enhancements is expected to drive long-term value creation.
