"Our divestiture program is complete, and our deleveraging plan is on track," said Jay Grinney, President and Chief Executive Officer of HealthSouth. "We are now able to focus only on our inpatient rehabilitation business. We have received over $1 billion in net proceeds from the divestiture of our surgery centers, outpatient, and diagnostic divisions, which we used to reduce debt. I remain encouraged by our inpatient volumes and strong compliant case growth. Discharges were up 1.0% from the same quarter a year ago, and based on industry data published through the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation, our hospitals continue to increase their market share of compliant cases. This industry data, as reported under the presumptive method, showed a 4.1% compliant case growth by HealthSouth during the first quarter of 2007 compared to an average 2.7% decline for non-HealthSouth rehabilitation sites during the same period."
Consolidated net operating revenues were $442.8 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $443.5 million for the second quarter of 2006. Net operating revenues from our inpatient hospitals were $392.0 million, representing a 3.4% increase from the same quarter of 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to a 1.0% increase in discharges, pricing changes that became effective on October 1, 2006, an increase in our patient case mix index, and continued compliant case growth. Increased revenues associated with our inpatient hospitals were offset by decreased revenues from outpatient visits. Decreased outpatient volumes resulted from the closure of outpatient satellites, changes in patient program mix, shortages in therapy staffing, and continued competition from physicians offering physical therapy services within their own offices.
Operating earnings (see supplemental information attached to this press release for calculation) were $48.3 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to operating earnings of $18.8 million for the second quarter of 2006. Operating expenses decreased by 7.3% quarter over quarter due primarily to a $31.5 million reduction in the liability associated with our securities litigation settlement based on the value of our common stock and the associated common stock warrants underlying the settlement and a $14.4 million reduction in professional fees associated with income tax consulting fees and legal fees for continued litigation defense and support matters arising from our prior reporting and restatement issues. Operating expenses also include a $14.7 million impairment charge in the second quarter of 2007 related primarily to our corporate campus. General and administrative expenses decreased due primarily to the divestiture of our outpatient division on May 1, 2007 (the divestiture of our surgery centers division occurred on June 29, 2007). General and administrative expenses were $35.0 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $44.7 million in the first quarter of 2007. This improvement over the immediate prior quarter, or "sequential" improvement, is expected to continue now that our divestiture program is complete.
Results for continuing operations in the second quarter of 2007 included a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $9.2 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to a $26.5 million pre-tax loss from continuing operations, or $0.33 per share, in the second quarter of 2006.
Net income available to common shareholders was $461.8 million, or $5.87 per share, for the second quarter of 2007 compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $51.6 million, or $0.65 per share, for the second quarter of 2006. Our net income in 2007 includes $464.9 million of post-tax gains associated with our divestures.
"Our divestitures are allowing us to reduce our debt and ongoing interest expense so we can build the right platform for growth in the post-acute sector," said John Workman, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Our reduction in debt to date will generate $80 million to $85 million per year in interest savings. Once we are no longer making payments under our Medicare Program Settlement, SEC Settlement, and other large, non-ordinary course charges, which should occur as of December 31, 2007, our cash flows from operations should provide ongoing deleveraging capabilities. "
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents were $21.0 million as of June 30, 2007. Total debt was $2.4 billion. Our government, class action, and related settlements liability decreased by $69.3 million during the second quarter of 2007 and by $116.6 million since December 31, 2006. Capital expenditures were $9.2 million for the quarter and $15.2 million for the year-to-date period.
During the second quarter of 2007, we used the net proceeds from the divestiture of our surgery centers and outpatient divisions to pay down debt. As a result of these transactions, our total debt outstanding has decreased from $3.4 billion as of December 31, 2006 to $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2007. We also used the net proceeds received from the divestiture of our diagnostic division in July 2007 to further reduce debt. Also, in late 2007 or early 2008, we expect to further deleverage the Company through the receipt of income tax refunds from amended and restated income tax returns from prior years. However, no assurances can be given as to whether or when such income tax refunds will be received.
Other Information
As discussed in more detail in the Form 10-Q filed today with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), historically, we have reported five segments: inpatient, surgery centers, outpatient, diagnostic, and corporate and other. Based on our strategic focus in the inpatient rehabilitation industry and the reclassification of our surgery centers, outpatient, and diagnostic divisions to discontinued operations, we modified our segment reporting from five reportable segments to one reportable segment in the first quarter of 2007. Amounts historically reported as part of our corporate and other segment, which primarily represented the corporate overhead costs associated with our operating divisions, are no longer considered a reportable segment due to our strategic repositioning as a pure-play post-acute care provider and the change in the manner in which we now manage the Company. Rather, these corporate overhead costs are now presented on the line entitled General and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Therefore, the condensed consolidated results of operations of the Company presented herein represent the continuing operations of our inpatient division, including corporate overhead. Our condensed consolidated results of operations include overhead costs associated with managing and providing shared services to our surgery centers, outpatient, and diagnostic divisions, even though these divisions qualify as discontinued operations.
HealthSouth's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007 can be found on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The information in this press release is summarized and should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-Q filed today.

(1) Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We
believe Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA is an important measure that
supplements discussion and analysis of our results of operations. We
believe it is useful to investors as it is used in our covenant
calculations under our Credit Agreement.
Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance
under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as
an operating performance measure or to cash flows from operating,
investing, or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Because
Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and is susceptible to
varying calculations, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA, as presented, may
not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by
other companies.
After consummation of the divestitures of our surgery centers,
outpatient, and diagnostic divisions, and in accordance with our
Credit Agreement, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA is calculated to give
effect to each divestiture, including adjustments for the allocation
of corporate overhead to each divested division. When reporting
Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA to our lenders for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007, we included corporate overhead costs of
approximately $13.2 million and $28.8 million, respectively,
associated with our surgery centers and outpatient divisions. These
adjustments are not included in the above table.
(a) Our Credit Agreement allows certain items to be added to arrive at
Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA that are viewed as not being ongoing
costs once the Company has completed its restructuring.
(b) All other.
