company, remarked, “we continued to see robust demand for our behavioral healthcare services during the third quarter. we executed our strategy with favorable results across our key performance metrics including continued navigation through a tight labor market. we are fortunate to have an experienced and dedicated team of employees and clinicians across our operations who have worked tirelessly to meet the needs of those seeking treatment for mental health and substance use issues. strategic investments for long-term growth “we have progressed on our key growth initiatives across all our service lines this year. we continue to make critical investments in our business to support sustained long-term growth through four distinct pathways. facility expansions are our first and most efficient growth pathway as we can expand services in established markets with our existing infrastructure and experienced staff. we added 132 beds to our existing facilities during the third quarter, bringing our total number of bed additions to 210 for the first nine months of the year. we are on track to meet our goal of adding approximately 300 beds in 2022. “for our second growth pathway, we continue to develop wholly owned de novo facilities that meet the critical demand for behavioral healthcare services in underserved markets. there are significant opportunities across the country to address this unmet need at the local community level. we opened a 60-bed children’s hospital in early july, as the first stage of our montrose behavioral health hospital operations in chicago. in addition to the children’s hospital, we expect to begin operations at our 101-bed adult hospital and the outpatient facility in 2023 following the renovations of these facilities. “we continue to identify opportunities to expand our network of ctcs to address the critical need for addiction treatment, specifically for patients dealing with opioid use disorder. during the third quarter, we opened new ctcs in indiana and florida. this brings our total to four ctcs opened this year, supporting our objective to open at least six new ctcs in 2022. as the opioid crisis has continued to escalate across the country, our ctc facilities and programs are playing a vital role in addressing this national epidemic. “a third important pathway for growth for acadia is forming strategic partnerships with leading health systems across the country. we are proud to work with a growing number of premier health systems to expand behavioral healthcare treatment options in their respective communities. by working together, we can leverage our behavioral health expertise and implement best practices to deliver high quality care and positive clinical outcomes for more patients. during the third quarter, we opened a new facility with our joint venture partner, covenant health, in knoxville, tennessee. we also broke ground on a new state-of-the-art behavioral health treatment and teaching hospital with our joint venture partner, henry ford health, in the detroit, michigan metropolitan area. we expect to commence operations at maple heights behavioral health, our joint venture with lutheran health network of indiana during the fourth quarter. an important aspect of many of our joint venture partnerships is the academic focus and training of future clinicians. during the quarter, our belmont behavioral health hospital in philadelphia entered into a formal affiliation agreement with thomas jefferson university’s sidney kimmel medical college and jefferson health in philadelphia, pennsylvania, to further teaching and clinical care opportunities for students in behavioral healthcare. “for our fourth pathway, we focus on identifying strategic acquisition opportunities that allow us to leverage our scale and expertise, make necessary investments for expansion and add service offerings to further enhance the continuum of care. we are fortunate to have a strong balance sheet that supports our ability to pursue acquisitions along with opportunities through our other important growth pathways,” added hunter. cash and liquidity maintaining a strong financial position is a top priority for acadia, providing the flexibility to pursue its growth initiatives and make strategic investments in its business. as of september 30, 2022, the company had $93.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. the company had $515 million available under its $600 million revolving credit facility and its net leverage ratio was approximately 2.1x as of september 30, 2022. during the third quarter, the company substantially completed its repayment of amounts received pursuant to the medicare accelerated and advanced payment program under the cares act. of the $45.2 million of advanced payments received in 2020, the company repaid a total of $25.1 million in 2021 and made additional payments of $18.9 million through the first nine months of 2022. the company will pay off the remaining balance of $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. in the third quarter of 2022, the company repaid the remaining half of the approximately $39.3 million of 2020 payroll tax deferrals, which eliminated this liability. financial guidance acadia today narrowed its previously announced financial guidance for 2022, as follows: 2022 guidance range revenue $2.58 to $2.60 billion adjusted ebitda, including income from the prf $611 to $621 million adjusted ebitda, excluding income from the prf $595 to $605 million adjusted earnings per diluted share, including income from the prf $3.13 to $3.23 adjusted earnings per diluted share, excluding income from the prf $3.00 to $3.10 interest expense approximately $70 million tax rate 25% to 26% depreciation and amortization expense approximately $120 million stock compensation expense approximately $30 million operating cash flows $360 to $400 million expansion capital expenditures $210 to $230 million maintenance capital expenditures approximately $60 million the company’s guidance does not include the impact of any future acquisitions, divestitures or transaction-related expenses. looking ahead hunter added, “we look forward to hosting acadia’s first investor day on wednesday, december 7, 2022, in new york city. our management team will provide an in-depth look at our diverse service lines and our strategic initiatives to advance our leadership position in the behavioral healthcare industry. “we are excited about the opportunities ahead for acadia, as we remain focused on our primary objective to extend our market reach through our four defined growth pathways. demand for our services continues to grow, and we believe we are well positioned to maintain our strong growth trajectory and meet our development targets for the year. without question, the critical need for behavioral health treatment has become a primary focus for health officials, medical professionals, and lawmakers across the country, with depression and anxiety issues further amplified by the strains of the covid-19 pandemic. recent data from the centers for disease control and prevention showed the u.s. suicide rate rose four percent in 2021 after two consecutive years of declines, highlighting the critical need for early assessment and intervention. as a leading provider of behavioral healthcare services, we play a vital role in addressing this need, and we believe we have the right strategy in place to make a positive difference. we are proud of the important work we are doing as we continue to pursue a strategic direction that delivers greater value for our patients, the communities we serve, and our stockholders.” conference call acadia will hold a conference call to discuss its third
