Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. before provision for income taxes, net interest (income) expense, and depreciation and amortization plus certain
adjustments (i.e. TLC integration costs incurred in 2008 and/or certain items incurred in 2010 which are detailed in our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October
26, 2010). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income before income taxes, cash flow from operating activities, or other traditional
indicators of operating performance. This calculation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies, since not all companies calculate
this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as diluted earnings per share plus the earnings per share effect of certain adjustments (i.e. TLC integration costs incurred in 2008 and/or certain
items incurred in 2010 which are detailed in our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26, 2010).  Adjusted diluted earnings per share should not be
considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income before income taxes, cash flow from operating activities, or other traditional indicators of operating performance. This
calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies, since not all companies calculate this non-GAAP financial

excluding the patient accounts receivable assumed in the TLC Health Care Services, Inc. (“TLC”) and Family Home Health Care, Inc. & Comprehensive Home Healthcare Services, Inc. (“HMA”) acquisitions) by our average
daily net patient revenue, excluding the results of TLC and HMA for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008.
