Company's historic financial performance secures the 53rd position on Globe's list of top performing companies in Massachusetts
PEABODY, Mass., July 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PHC, Inc., d.b.a. Pioneer Behavioral Health (AMEX:PHC), a leading provider of inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services today announced that the Company has been named to the (Boston) "Globe 100" list of the top performing companies in Massachusetts.
Based on a composite score derived from financial data for the four quarters ending December 31, 2006, PHC was ranked 53rd among Massachusetts-based companies whose stock is publicly traded on NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange.
"The companies in the Globe 100 have distinguished themselves in not only their respective fields but among other Massachusetts businesses," said Globe Business Editor Shirley Leung. "This year's Globe 100 highlights the broad spectrum of both old and new Massachusetts companies, from cutting-edge sectors like biotechnology to long-standing staples like construction." To qualify for the Globe 100, a company must have been public for the entire 2006 calendar year and have reported a positive net income for both 2005 and 2006.
"This was a milestone year for PHC, including our listing on the American Stock Exchange and the groundbreaking of our next key growth driver, the Seven Hills Behavioral Hospital near Las Vegas, and we are gratified to be recognized by The Boston Globe," commented Bruce A. Shear, Pioneer's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to strive to bring valued and often life-saving mental health and chemical dependency services to patients nationwide. I congratulate everyone on the PHC team and we look forward to moving up this list in the coming years." The Globe 100, now in its 19th year, ranks Massachusetts-based public companies based on financial data from the four quarters ending closest to December 31, 2006, and for corresponding quarters a year earlier.
