KINDRED ANNOUNCES DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
TO ACQUIRE CENTERRE HEALTHCARE
Creating One of Nations Largest Networks of Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals
and Significantly Expanding Kindreds Continuum of Services1
Kindred to Establish New Growth Platform, Kindred Hospital Rehabilitation Services,
Upon Closing of the Transaction
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (November 12, 2014) Kindred Healthcare, Inc. (Kindred or the Company) (NYSE:KND), the nations largest provider of integrated post-acute care and rehabilitation, today announced that it has signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire Centerre Healthcare Corporation (Centerre), a national company dedicated to operating Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals, for a purchase price of approximately $195 million in cash.
Centerre currently operates 11 Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals with 612 beds in partnership with some of the nations leading acute care hospital systems through joint ventures. Centerre has two additional hospitals with a total of 90 beds under construction and scheduled to open in 2015, and a pipeline of additional potential hospitals in various stages of development.
Centerres operations are expected to generate 2014 revenues of approximately $200 million and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (EBITDAR) of approximately $48 million (prior to deducting $14 million of minority interest expense for interests owned by Centerres hospital partners). All of Centerres hospitals are leased and are expected to have approximately $20 million of rent expense in 2014. Of the 11 hospitals that Centerre currently operates, three opened in 2014 and two opened in 2013, and thus the anticipated 2014 results do not include expected additional results from the full maturation of the recently opened hospitals. Kindred expects the acquisition of Centerre to be $0.04 to $0.06 accretive to earnings and operating cash flows in 2015, assuming Kindreds expected pro forma share count following completion of its pending acquisition of Gentiva Health Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:GTIV) of approximately 85 million shares, exclusive of transaction and integration costs. Once fully integrated, and the new and existing Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals mature, Kindred expects the transaction to be approximately $0.10 to $0.12 accretive to earnings.
The Centerre acquisition is subject to several conditions to closing, including, among others, approval of the merger agreement by the requisite vote of Centerres stockholders, regulatory approvals, consents from certain joint venture partners and certain other customary conditions to closing, including the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The Centerre transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015.
Centerres Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals are geographically aligned with five targeted Kindred Integrated Care Markets. The addition of Centerres portfolio to Kindreds five Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals, and its 102 hospital-based acute rehabilitation units (ARUs) (certified as Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities) managed by Kindreds RehabCare division, will make Kindred one of the largest operators of Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals in the nation.1

Kindred Hospital Rehabilitation Services, will be guided by a shared set of core competencies focused on providing the highest quality, clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction as well as improved care transitions to home for patients in need of intensive rehabilitation.
Our acquisition of Centerre will expand our relationships with some of the nations premier hospital systems, said Benjamin A. Breier, Kindreds President and Chief Operating Officer. This is a positive step in Kindreds strategy to collaborate with healthcare networks, managed care providers, and other health entities in local markets so that we may best meet patient needs, reduce costs and improve clinical outcomes. Additionally, this builds on our reputation for quality patient care with the combined company delivering clinical and quality outcomes that outperform national benchmarks. We look forward to welcoming Centerres 1,600 dedicated employees to our team.
We at Centerre are proud of our ability to create rehabilitation centers of excellence through our joint venture relationships, said Patrick Foster, Centerres President and Chief Executive Officer.

respect to Centerre to differ materially from any future results, performance or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed below and detailed from time to time in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Risks and uncertainties related to the proposed acquisition of Centerre include, but are not limited to, the risk that Centerres stockholders do not approve the acquisition, potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the acquisition, expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, uncertainties as to the timing of the acquisition, adverse effects on the Companys stock price resulting from the announcement or completion of the acquisition, competitive responses to the announcement or completion of the acquisition, the risk that healthcare regulatory, licensure or other approvals and financing required for the consummation of the acquisition are not obtained or are obtained subject to terms and conditions that are not anticipated, costs and difficulties related to the integration of Centerres businesses and operations with the Companys businesses and operations, the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, cost savings and synergies from the acquisition, uncertainties as to whether the completion of the acquisition or any transaction will have the accretive effect on the Companys earnings or cash flows that it expects, unexpected costs, liabilities, charges or expenses resulting from the acquisition, litigation relating to the acquisition, the inability to retain key personnel, and any changes in general economic and/or industry-specific conditions.
In addition to the factors set forth above, other factors that may affect the Companys plans, results or stock price are set forth in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K and in its reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K.
In addition to the results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company has provided information in this press release to compute certain non-GAAP measurements for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measurements to the GAAP measurements is included in this press release.
The Companys earnings release also includes financial measures referred to as operating income, or EBITDAR, and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The Companys management uses EBITDAR or EBITDA as meaningful measures of operational performance in addition to other measures. The Company uses EBITDAR or EBITDA to assess the relative performance of its operating divisions as well as the employees that operate these businesses. In addition, the Company believes these measurements are important because securities analysts and investors use these measurements to compare the Companys performance to other companies in the healthcare industry. The Company believes that income (loss) from continuing operations is the most comparable GAAP measure. Readers of the Companys financial information should consider income (loss) from continuing operations as an important measure of the Companys financial performance because it provides the most complete measure of its performance. EBITDAR or EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures based upon GAAP as an indicator of operating performance. A reconciliation of EBITDAR or EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations is included in this press release. The pro forma EBITDAR total of $147 million included in this press release was computed by combining Kindreds HRS and inpatient rehabilitation hospital results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 on an annualized basis and the 2014 EBITDAR estimate of $48 million for Centerre, which is based upon Centerres 2014 estimated operating results.
Many of these factors are beyond the Companys control. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements made by the Company are not guarantees of future performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to announce publicly the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.
