Encompass Health reports results for fourth quarter 2022 and issues full-year 2023 guidance

 

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Encompass Health Corporation (NYSE: EHC), the largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the United States, today reported its results of operations for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022.

"The fourth quarter was a very strong finish to 2022 driving our full-year results to the top end of our guidance range," said Mark Tarr, President and Chief Executive Officer of Encompass Health. "Patient volume was again strong with discharges up 7.3%. Continued progress on labor costs and a solid contribution from our de novos facilitated double-digit earnings growth for the quarter. Our value proposition and our operating strategy have been further validated and we remain highly optimistic about the long-term prospects of our business."  

On July 1, 2022, Encompass Health completed the spin off of Enhabit Home Health & Hospice ("Enhabit"), which is now an independent, publicly traded company. Enhabit's historical results are reported in Encompass Health's discontinued operations for all periods represented.

  • Revenue – Net operating revenue growth of 9.1% resulted from volume growth and pricing increases. Total discharge growth for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 7.3% with same-store growth of 4.2%. Revenue reserves related to bad debt as a percent of revenue increased to 2.4%.  

    Growth in net patient revenue per discharge of 2.2% primarily resulted from an increase in reimbursement rates, partially offset by the resumption of sequestration. 

  • Cash flows provided by operating activities - The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities of 39.1% primarily resulted from higher income from continuing operations attributable to Encompass Health and lower tax payments.

  • Adjusted EBITDA – The increase in Adjusted EBITDA of 16.4% primarily resulted from revenue growth and lower contract labor and sign-on and shift bonuses.

Other information

The information in this press release is summarized and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Form 10-K"), when filed, as well as the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 7, 2023 (the "Q4 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.encompasshealth.com for reference during its February 8, 2023 earnings call.

The financial data contained in the press release and supplemental information include the non-GAAP financial measures: 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 Q4 Earnings Form 8-K. Readers are encouraged to review the "Note Regarding Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included in the Q4 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 not 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 not 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 2023 would be included in a reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA if the other reconciling GAAP measures could be reasonably predicted:

•  Interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and fees - estimate of $145 million to $155 million

•  Amortization of debt-related items - approximately $10 million

The Q4 Earnings Form 8-K and, when filed, the 2022 Form 10-K, when filed, can be found on the Company's website at http://investor.encompasshealth.com and the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
