Other Events.

U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. reported today that as a result of events associated with the onset of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) that
cancellations of physical therapy patient appointments at its clinics are increasing and that scheduling of new or additional patient appointments is declining. Based on patient volumes and federal, state and local guidelines, certain clinics may
operate on a reduced schedule or temporarily close for periods of time.

business or its prospects.
