SKILLED HEALTHCARE GROUP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2012 ADJUSTED EPS OF $0.18


FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif. - August 8, 2012 - Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. (NYSE: SKH) today announced its consolidated financial operating results for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2012. For the second quarter of 2012, the Company reported revenue of $217.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA1 of $26.8 million, Adjusted EPS2 of $0.18 and a $12.2 million reduction in outstanding debt.

"Although the second quarter is typically our slowest quarter for patient census across all business lines, this past quarter we saw softness in skilled mix census and an acceleration in the shift of Medicare to managed care patients in our long-term care service segment. The lower Medicare census and skilled mix has driven down consolidated financial results. In contrast the census at our home health and hospice division has been stable through the quarter. I am pleased to announce that we obtained Medicare certification for our new 13 bed general inpatient hospice unit in Las Vegas in early August.  The new unit will expand the range of hospice services we provide in Las Vegas and should result in increased referrals," said Boyd Hendrickson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Skilled Healthcare Group.

"I am particularly proud of the exemplary work of the professional staff in our agencies and facilities to provide high quality patient care. The 2012 recipients of AHCA/NCAL National Quality Awards were recently announced, and we're proud to note that three of our affiliated facilities received Silver Awards and another 11 facilities received Bronze Awards this year. We now have 80 facilities that have received the Bronze Award and six facilities that have received the Silver Award. These quality awards are a reflection of our continued emphasis on quality of care."

Second Quarter 2012 Results
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $217.4 million, an increase of 1.0 percent when compared to $215.2 million in the second quarter of 2011. Skilled mix3 decreased 110 basis points to 22.4 percent in the second quarter of 2012 from 23.5 percent in the second quarter of 2011. Quality mix4 in the second quarter of 2012 decreased 120 basis points to 70.2 percent, compared to 71.4 percent in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $26.8 million, or 12.3 percent of revenue, for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of 20.4 percent compared to $33.6 million, or 15.6 percent of revenue, in the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDAR5 was $31.3 million, or 14.4 percent of revenue, for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of 18.0 percent compared to $38.2 million, or 17.8 percent of revenue, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 totaled $3.5 million, a decrease of 66.3 percent compared to net income of $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2011. Adjusted net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, totaled $6.6 million, a decrease of 39.6 percent compared to adjusted net income of $10.9 million for the second quarter of 2011.

Revenue for this segment represented 75.5 percent of total revenue in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 80.2 percent of total revenue in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in revenue was primarily related to lower PPD rates from the impact of the October 2011 Medicare rate cut, a decrease in our skilled mix, and a shift from Medicare days to Managed Medicare days as more seniors elect Medicare Advantage.

Revenue for Hallmark Rehabilitation, our rehabilitation therapy services segment, was $26.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $2.7 million, or 11.3 percent, compared to the same period a year ago.

The increase in census was due in significant part to our October 2011 acquisition of the two Cornerstone hospice agencies.

The increase in census was due in significant part to our October 2011 acquisition of the two Cornerstone hospice agencies.

Additional Information
The Company recently identified that a number of its affiliated skilled nursing facilities incorrectly billed Medicare for many of the blood glucose tests performed between 2007 and the first quarter of this year. The applicable facilities have refunded to Medicare reimbursements for blood glucose tests performed during those periods. The amount that was refunded relating to reimbursements for the periods through 2011 was $5.8 million, which was spread fairly evenly over those five years, and there was an additional amount of $0.3 million refunded related to reimbursements in the first quarter of 2012. Prior period amounts have been corrected in the Company's financial statements to its Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2012 (the "Form 10-Q") that the Company filed with the SEC today. The correction for the first quarter of 2012 has been recorded as an adjustment to revenue in the second quarter of 2012. For additional information, please refer to Note 2 in the Notes to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-Q.

2012 Guidance
Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. has revised its 2012 guidance based upon current occupancy and skilled mix levels in its long-term care operating segment. The Company now anticipates 2012 consolidated revenue to be between $875.0 million and $885.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $109.0 million to $111.5 million, Adjusted EBITDAR to be in the range of $128.0 million to $130.2 million and adjusted net income per common diluted share to be between $0.76 and $0.81. This guidance assumes the following:
Market basket increase of 1.8% in Medicare beginning October 1, 2012.
Moderate weighted average Medicaid rate increases in the second half of 2012.
2012 capital expenditures of approximately $17 to $20 million.
Average interest rate on outstanding debt of approximately 7.5%.
An effective tax rate of 39 percent.
This guidance does not include additional acquisitions, developments or divestitures.

(A) We paid double interest expense due to the senior subordinated notes being outstanding for 30 days after we completed the $100.0 million expansion of our term loan. We were required to provide a 30 day redemption notice for the senior subordinated notes.
We believe that a report of adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR provides consistency in our financial reporting and provides a basis for the comparison of results of core business operations between our current, past and future periods. Adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods, including trending and analyzing the core operating performance of our business from period-to-period without the effect of U.S. GAAP, expenses, revenues and gains (losses) that are unrelated to the day-to-day performance of our business. We also use adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to benchmark the performance of our business against expected results, analyzing year-over-year trends as described below and to compare our operating performance to that of our competitors.
 
Management uses adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to assess the performance of our core business operations, to prepare operating budgets and to measure our performance against those budgets on a consolidated and segment level. Segment management uses these metrics to measure performance on a facility-by-facility level. We typically use adjusted net income per share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR for these purposes on a consolidated basis as the adjustments to adjusted net income per share, EBITDA and EBITDAR are not generally allocable to any individual business unit and we typically use EBITDA and EBITDAR to compare the operating performance of each skilled nursing and assisted living facility, as well as to assess the performance of our operating segments. EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are useful in this regard because they do not include such costs as interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, rent cost of revenue (in the case of EBITDAR and





Adjusted EBITDAR) and special charges, which may vary from business unit to business unit and period-to-period depending upon various factors, including the method used to finance the business, the amount of debt that we have determined to incur, whether a facility is owned or leased, the date of acquisition of a facility or business, the original purchase price of a facility or business unit or the tax law of the state in which a business unit operates. These types of charges are dependent on factors unrelated to the underlying business unit performance. As a result, we believe that the use of adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR provides a meaningful and consistent comparison of our underlying businesses and facilities between periods by eliminating certain items required by U.S. GAAP which have little or no significance to their day-to-day operations.

The use of adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR and other non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Our presentation of adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR or other non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the presentation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income taxes and other items have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDAR. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR do not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization, interest and income taxes, capital expenditures and other items both in our reconciliations to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.
Adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR and certain other non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR and other non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP, nor should these measures be relied upon to the exclusion of U.S. GAAP financial measures. Adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR and other non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our U.S. GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. You are strongly encouraged to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
