HEALTHSOUTH Corporation
For the year ended December 31, 2001, HEALTHSOUTH's revenues were $4.380 billion, compared to $4.195 billion for 2000. Income before unusual and non-recurring items for 2001 was $326.1 million, compared to net income of $278.5 million for 2000. The comparable income per share (assuming dilution) for 2001 was $.82, a 15.5% increase compared to net income per share (assuming dilution) of $.71 for 2000.
"Our fourth quarter results reflect a strong finish to a very successful year," said Richard M. Scrushy, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of HEALTHSOUTH. "The fundamentals of our business showed continued improvement, as same-store volume growth ranged from 6.5% to 13% in our outpatient lines of business compared to the fourth quarter of 2000. Pricing trends were also strong on both a sequential quarter and year-over-year basis, contributing to an increase in our EBITDA margin to 28.2%. Looking ahead, our early experience under the new inpatient rehabilitation prospective payment system is confirming our expectations for the positive impact that PPS will have on our business. In addition, during the fourth quarter, we held the groundbreaking on our new HEALTHSOUTH Medical Center in Birmingham, which will be a state-of-the-art, wireless, digital facility that we believe will represent a major new advance in the way healthcare is delivered. We are proud of our performance last year, and we are committed to strategic growth, continued innovation and strong financial performance in 2002."
Unusual and non-recurring items reduced net income by $20.7 million in the fourth quarter. These items consisted of an $11.4 million net loss on the sale of the company's United Kingdom diagnostic centers and four non-strategic rehabilitation hospitals and a $9.3 million loss on the sale of certain properties in a sale-leaseback transaction, in each case net of income taxes. Net income for the year was also reduced by unusual and non-recurring items in the second quarter, which were discussed in that quarter's earnings announcement and which aggregated approximately $103 million, net of income taxes. Management believes that income and income per share excluding such unusual and non-recurring items provide a clearer picture of the company's operational performance than net income and earnings per share standing alone.
HEALTHSOUTH is the nation's largest provider of outpatient surgery, diagnostic imaging and rehabilitative healthcare services, with approximately 1,900 locations in all 50 states, the United Kingdom, Australia, Puerto Rico and Canada.
