Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:
This presentation and webcast may contain forward-looking statements that are based on management’s
current expectations, assumptions and beliefs about its business, financial performance, operating
results, the industry in which it operates and other future events. Forward-looking statements can
often be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,”
“believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “potential,”
“continue,” “ongoing,” similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. These
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding growth prospects,
future operating and financial performance. They are not guarantees of future results and are
subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to materially and
adversely differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statement.
These risks and uncertainties relate to the company’s business, its industry and its common stock
and include: reduced prices and reimbursement rates for its services; its ability to acquire,
develop, manage or improve facilities, its ability to manage its increasing borrowing costs as it
incurs additional indebtedness to fund the acquisition and development of facilities; its ability
to access capital on a cost-effective basis to continue to successfully implement its growth
strategy; its operating margins and
profitability could suffer if it is unable to grow and manage effectively its increasing number of
facilities; competition from other companies in the acquisition, development and operation of
facilities; and the application of existing or proposed government regulations, or the adoption of
new laws and regulations, that could limit its business operations, require it to incur significant
expenditures or limit its ability to relocate its facilities if necessary. Readers should not place
undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and are encouraged to review the company’s
periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its recently filed Form
10-K and Form 10-Q for a more complete discussion of the risks and other factors that could affect
Ensign’s business, prospects and any forward-looking statements. Except as required by the federal
securities laws, Ensign does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changing
circumstances or any other reason after the date of this press release.
