"The third quarter was another strong quarter for HealthSouth with positive trends in volume and pricing, despite disruptions from three hurricanes," said Mark Tarr, President and Chief Executive Officer of HealthSouth.

These investments include the installation of our rehabilitation-specific electronic clinical information system and the formation of the Post-Acute Innovation Center."

Revenue growth was driven by volume and pricing growth in the inpatient rehabilitation segment and volume growth in the home health and hospice segment.
The increase in income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth per share and adjusted earnings per share resulted primarily from increased revenue. Growth in both earnings per share amounts was negatively impacted by higher stock-based compensation expense and higher depreciation and amortization related to capital investments.
Cash flows provided by operating activities increased in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016 primarily due to revenue growth.
Adjusted free cash flow for the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016 decreased due to cash payments for taxes (due to exhaustion of the Company's federal net operating loss in the first quarter of 2017) and increased maintenance capital expenditures in 2017.

For additional considerations regarding the Company's 2017 guidance ranges, see the supplemental information posted on the Company's website at http://investor.healthsouth.com. See also the "Other Information" section below for an explanation of why the Company does not provide guidance for comparable GAAP measures for Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share.
Post-Acute Innovation Center
During the third quarter of 2017, the Company announced the formation of the Post-Acute Innovation Center in collaboration with Cerner Corporation to develop enhanced tools to manage patients across the continuum of care. Cerner is a global leader in health information technology and collaborated with HealthSouth on the development and implementation of its clinical information system. The Post-Acute Innovation Center will develop clinical decision support tools designed to more effectively and efficiently manage patients across multiple care settings. The objective of the Innovation Center is to use diverse data sets from multiple care settings to develop initiatives that facilitate efficient and high-quality patient care, enhanced care coordination, post-acute network performance, and cost management across the post-acute continuum.
Amendment of Credit Agreement Governing Senior Secured Credit Facility
In the third quarter of 2017, the Company amended the credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facility. The amendment increased the size of its revolver from $600 million to $700 million, decreased the balance of its term loan facilities by approximately $110 million to $300 million, reduced the interest rate spread by 25 basis points, and extended the agreement's maturity by two years to 2022. As a result of this exercise, the Company recorded a $0.3 million loss on early extinguishment of debt in the third quarter of 2017.
"The restructuring of our credit facility further enhances our liquidity and financial flexibility," said Doug Coltharp, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of HealthSouth. "This action is consistent with our strategy of proactively managing our capital structure to maintain a strong balance sheet."
Rebranding and Name Change
As a reminder, effective January 1, 2018, HealthSouth Corporation will change its name to Encompass Health Corporation, with a corresponding ticker symbol change from "HLS" to "EHC." Both of the Company's business segments will transition to the Encompass Health branding.
Earnings Conference Call and Webcast
The Company will host an investor conference call at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, October 27, 2017 to discuss its results for the third quarter of 2017. For reference during the call, the Company will post certain supplemental information at http://investor.healthsouth.com.

Please call approximately ten minutes before the start of the call to ensure you are connected. The conference call will also be webcast live and will be available at http://investor.healthsouth.com by clicking on an available link.

Other Information
The information in this press release is summarized and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 (the "September 2017 Form 10-Q"), when filed, as well as the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 26, 2017 (the "Q3 Earnings Form 8-K"), to which this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1. In addition, the Company will post supplemental information today on its website at http://investor.healthsouth.com for reference during its October 27, 2017 earnings call.
The financial data contained in the press release and supplemental information include non-GAAP financial measures, including the Company's adjusted earnings per share, leverage ratio, Adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted free cash flow. Reconciliations to their most comparable GAAP measure, except with regard to non-GAAP guidance, are included below or in the Q3 Earnings Form 8-K. Readers are encouraged to review the "Note Regarding Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included in the Q3 Earnings Form 8-K which provides further explanation and disclosure regarding the Company's use of these non-GAAP financial measures.
Excluding net operating revenues, the Company does not provide guidance on a GAAP basis because it is unable to predict, with reasonable certainty, the future impact of items that are deemed to be outside the control of the Company or otherwise non-indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Such items include government, class action, and related settlements; professional fees—accounting, tax, and legal; mark-to-market adjustments for stock appreciation rights; gains or losses related to hedging instruments; loss on early extinguishment of debt; adjustments to its income tax provision (such as valuation allowance adjustments and settlements of income tax claims); items related to corporate and facility restructurings; and certain other items the Company believes to be non-indicative of its ongoing operations. These items cannot be reasonably predicted and will depend on several factors, including industry and market conditions, and could be material to the Company's results computed in accordance with GAAP.
However, the following reasonably estimable GAAP measures for 2017 would be included in a reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA if the other reconciling GAAP measures could be reasonably predicted:
The Q3 Earnings Form 8-K and, when filed, the September 2017 Form 10-Q can be found on the Company's website at http://investor.healthsouth.com and the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

The interest and amortization and the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the convertible senior subordinated notes must be added to income from continuing operations when calculating diluted earnings per share because the debt was assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period, and the applicable shares were included in the diluted share count. |
|
(2) |
New guidance in ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," requires entities to record all of the tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement (or expiration) through the income statement. Historically, HealthSouth recorded such tax effects to equity. |

All such estimates, projections, and forward-looking information speak only as of the date hereof, and HealthSouth undertakes no duty to publicly update or revise such forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
