ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
HealthSouth Corporation (the “Company”) will participate in the Baird 2012 Healthcare Conference held at the New York Palace in New York City on September 5-6, 2012. HealthSouth President and Chief Executive Officer, Jay Grinney, will make a presentation on Thursday, September 6th at 10:10 a.m. ET using selected slides (the "Conference Slides") previously included in the Investor Reference Book attached as Exhibit 99.1 (the "Investor Reference Book") to the Current Report on Form 8‑K dated August 7, 2012.
The Company will also participate in the Morgan Stanley Global Healthcare Conference held at the Grand Hyatt in New York City on September 10-12, 2012. Mr. Grinney will make a presentation on Tuesday, September 11th at 9:10 a.m. ET using the Conference Slides.
Both presentations will address, among other things, the Company's strategy and financial performance and discuss industry trends and dynamics. The presentations will be webcast live and will be available at http://investor.healthsouth.com by clicking on an available link. While the format of certain slides may have changed, the Conference Slides used in the presentations contain much of the same information as previously included in the Investor Reference Book and are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The Company will also provide its observations and considerations on volume, its balance sheet, and business growth for the third quarter of 2012. Discharge growth for the third quarter of 2012 is in line with the higher end of the previously disclosed expectations for July through December 2012 of 2.5% to 3.5%. As a reminder, discharge growth for the third quarter of 2011 was 5.1%.
The Company reiterates as of the date hereof its guidance for 2012, as previously reported in the press release
furnished as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 26, 2012 and during the Company's earnings conference
call held on July 27, 2012.
In August 2012, the Company received data published through the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (the “UDS”) for the second quarter of 2012. This data suggested the Company continued to grow its market share during the second quarter of 2012. This industry information, as reported through the UDS under the presumptive method on a quarter lag, showed an average 0.5% decrease in discharges for UDS industry sites (including HealthSouth sites) compared to same-store discharge growth of 1.9% for HealthSouth during the second quarter of 2012.
The Company uses “same-store” comparisons to explain the changes in certain performance metrics and line items within its financial statements. Same-store comparisons are calculated based on hospitals open throughout both the full current periods and throughout the full prior periods presented. These comparisons include the financial results of market consolidation transactions in existing markets, as it is difficult to determine, with precision, the incremental impact of these transactions on the Company's results of operations.
The information contained herein is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K, “Regulation FD Disclosure.” This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Note Regarding Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial data contained in the Conference Slides attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto includes non-GAAP financial measures, including the Company's Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes its Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of its ability to service its debt and its ability to make capital expenditures. The Company reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income and to net cash provided by operating activities.
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis as a liquidity measure. The Company believes this financial measure on a consolidated basis is important in analyzing its liquidity because it is the key component of certain material covenants contained within the Company's credit agreement, which is discussed in more detail in Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Form 10‑K”). These covenants are material terms of the credit agreement. Non-compliance with these financial covenants under the credit agreement—its interest coverage ratio and its leverage ratio—could result in the Company's lenders requiring the Company to immediately repay all amounts borrowed. If the Company anticipated a potential covenant violation, it would seek relief from its lenders, which would have some cost to the Company, and such relief might not be on terms favorable to those in the Company's existing credit agreement. In addition, if the Company cannot satisfy these





financial covenants, it would be prohibited under the credit agreement from engaging in certain activities, such as incurring additional indebtedness, making certain payments, and acquiring and disposing of assets. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA is critical to the Company's assessment of its liquidity.
In general terms, the credit agreement definition of Adjusted EBITDA, referred to as “Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA” there, allows the Company to add back to consolidated net income interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization and then add back to consolidated net income (1) all unusual or non-recurring items reducing consolidated net income (of which only up to $10 million in a year may be cash expenditures), (2) costs and expenses related to refinancing transactions, (3) any losses from discontinued operations and closed locations, (4) costs and expenses, including legal fees and expert witness fees, incurred with respect to litigation associated with stockholder derivative litigation, including the matters related to Ernst & Young LLP and Richard M. Scrushy discussed in Note 21, Settlements, and Note 22, Contingencies and Other Commitments, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K and Note 8, Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2012, and (5) share-based compensation expense. The Company also subtracts from consolidated net income all unusual or non-recurring items to the extent increasing consolidated net income.
Under the credit agreement, the Adjusted EBITDA calculation does not include adjustments for the following items: (1) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, (2) gain or loss on disposal of assets, (3) professional fees unrelated to the stockholder derivative litigation, and (4) unusual or non-recurring cash expenditures in excess of $10 million. These items may not be indicative of the Company's ongoing performance, so the Adjusted EBITDA calculation presented here includes adjustments for them.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income or cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Revenues and expenses are measured in accordance with the policies and procedures described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10‑K.
