Encompass Health reports results for first quarter 2021
and increases full-year 2021 guidance
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Encompass Health Corporation (NYSE: EHC), a national leader in integrated healthcare, offering facility-based and home-based patient care through its network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, home health agencies and hospice agencies, today reported its results of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.
“We're off to an encouraging start in 2021,” said President and Chief Executive Officer of Encompass Health Mark Tarr. “Our first quarter performance was characterized by promising volume trends that are contributing to solid revenue and EBITDA growth. We are increasing our 2021 guidance to reflect our strong performance and the extension of the suspension of sequestration.”
Consolidated results

|  |  |  |  | Growth |
| Q1 2021 |  | Q1 2020 |  | Dollars |  | Percent |
| (In Millions, Except per Share Data) |
Net operating revenues | $ | 1,230.4 |  |  | $ | 1,182.0 |  |  | $ | 48.4 |  |  | 4.1 | % |
Income from continuing operations attributable to Encompass Health per diluted share | 1.07 |  |  | 0.87 |  |  | 0.20 |  |  | 23.0 | % |
Adjusted earnings per share | 1.05 |  |  | 0.87 |  |  | 0.18 |  |  | 20.7 | % |
Cash flows provided by operating activities | 158.5 |  |  | 29.3 |  |  | 129.2 |  |  | 441.0 | % |
Adjusted EBITDA | 250.8 |  |  | 228.0 |  |  | 22.8 |  |  | 10.0 | % |
Adjusted free cash flow | 107.4 |  |  | 74.6 |  |  | 32.8 |  |  | 44.0 | % |

Revenue growth resulted from favorable pricing partially offset by decreased volumes in both segments.
The increase in income from continuing operations attributable to Encompass Health per diluted share and adjusted earnings per share in 2021 primarily resulted from revenue growth and decreased stock-based compensation due to the reduction in long-term incentive compensation recorded in the first quarter of 2021.
The increase in full-year cash flows provided by operating activities and adjusted free cash flow primarily resulted from revenue growth and the timing of maintenance capital expenditures in 2021.

Inpatient rehabilitation segment results

|  |  |  |  | Growth
| Q1 2021 |  | Q1 2020 |  | Dollars |  | Percent
Net operating revenues: | (In Millions)
Inpatient | $ | 942.3 |  |  | $ | 890.0 |  |  | $ | 52.3 |  |  | 5.9 | %
Outpatient and other | 17.6 |  |  | 19.2 |  |  | (1.6) |  |  | (8.3) | %
Total segment revenue | $ | 959.9 |  |  | $ | 909.2 |  |  | $ | 50.7 |  |  | 5.6 | %
| (Actual Amounts)
Discharges | 47,187 |  |  | 47,750 |  |  | (563) |  |  | (1.2) | %
Same-store discharge growth |  |  |  |  |  |  | (2.2) | %
Net patient revenue per discharge | $ | 19,969 |  |  | $ | 18,639 |  |  | $ | 1,330 |  |  | 7.1 | %
Revenue reserves related to bad debt as a percent of revenue | 1.7 | % |  | 1.2 | % |  |  |  | 50 basis points
| (In Millions)
Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 234.9 |  |  | $ | 215.5 |  |  | $ | 19.4 |  |  | 9.0 | %

•Revenue - Inpatient revenue growth resulted from favorable pricing partially offset by decreased volumes. New-store discharge growth of 1.0% resulted from a joint venture in Coralville, Iowa (June 2020) and wholly owned hospitals in Murrieta, California (February 2020), Sioux Falls, South Dakota (June 2020) and Toledo, Ohio (November 2020). Discharge growth was impacted by COVID-related limitations on elective procedures and capacity and staffing constraints at certain of the Company's hospitals.
Growth in net patient revenue per discharge primarily resulted from a higher acuity patient mix, an increase in reimbursement rates and the suspension of sequestration.
Revenue reserves related to bad debt as a percent of revenue increased to 1.7% primarily due to aging-based reserves.
•Adjusted EBITDA - The increase in Adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from revenue growth.

Home health and hospice segment results

|  |  |  |  | Growth
| Q1 2021 |  | Q1 2020 |  | Dollars |  | Percent
Net operating revenues: | (In Millions)
Home health revenue | $ | 219.9 |  |  | $ | 224.8 |  |  | $ | (4.9) |  |  | (2.2) | %
Hospice revenue | 50.6 |  |  | 48.0 |  |  | 2.6 |  |  | 5.4 | %
Total segment revenue | $ | 270.5 |  |  | $ | 272.8 |  |  | $ | (2.3) |  |  | (0.8) | %
Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 50.8 |  |  | $ | 41.0 |  |  | $ | 9.8 |  |  | 23.9 | %
Home Health
Starts of care: | (Actual Amounts)
Episodic admissions | 40,215 |  |  | 42,476 |  |  | (2,261) |  |  | (5.3) | %
Same-store episodic admissions growth |  |  |  |  |  |  | (5.4) | %
Episodic recertifications | 28,083 |  |  | 26,553 |  |  | 1,530 |  | 5.8 | %
Total episodic starts of care | 68,298 |  |  | 69,029 |  |  | (731) |  | (1.1) | %
Total admissions | 50,799 |  |  | 52,754 |  |  | (1,955) |  | (3.7) | %
Same-store total admissions growth |  |  |  |  |  |  | (3.8) | %
Total recertifications | 31,902 |  |  | 29,463 |  |  | 2,439 |  |  | 8.3 | %
Total starts of care | 82,701 |  |  | 82,217 |  |  | 484 |  | 0.6 | %
Revenue per episode | $ | 2,923 |  |  | $ | 2,909 |  |  | $ | 14 |  |  | 0.5 | %
Hospice
Admissions: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Same store | 3,325 |  |  | 2,986 |  |  | 339 |  |  | 11.4 | %
New store | 5 |  | — |  |  | 5 |  |  | 0.1 | %
Total admissions | 3,330 |  |  | 2,986 |  |  | 344 |  |  | 11.5 | %

•Revenue - Total starts of care were up 0.6% due to increases in recertifications and non-episodic admissions. Non-episodic admissions increased 3% year over year primarily due to the new national contract with United Healthcare. Total home health admissions declined as a result of episodic admissions decreasing 22% from patients residing in senior living facilities, 35% from patients discharging from skilled nursing facilities, and 18% from patients receiving elective procedures in acute care hospitals. The combined impact of these declines represented a loss of approximately 3,700 admissions, or a 880 basis points negative impact on the episodic growth rate for the first quarter of 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, the segment averaged 250 home health employees per day on COVID-related quarantine, which further impacted its ability to accept referrals.
The increase in revenue per episode resulted from an increase in reimbursement rates and the suspension of sequestration partially offset by the impact of the timing of completed episodes. Revenue per episode in the first quarter of 2020 benefited from the reversal of a $1.6 million reserve for a Zone Program Integrity Contractor audit.
Hospice same-store admissions growth of 11.4% yielded a 5.4% increase in hospice revenue. Hospice revenue growth was impacted by a decrease in length of stay resulting from a change in patient mix.

•Adjusted EBITDA - The 23.9% increase in Adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from lower cost per visit supported by the clinician compensation model changes implemented in May 2020, as well as effective management of overall productivity of full-time staff.
General and administrative expenses

| Q1 2021 |  | % of Consolidated Revenue |  | Q1 2020 |  | % of Consolidated Revenue
| (In Millions)
General and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation | $ | 34.9 |  |  | 2.8% |  | $ | 28.5 |  |  | 2.4%

General and administrative expenses increased as a percent of consolidated revenue due to a $3.5 million year-over-year change in the mark-to-market adjustment on the Company's non-qualified 401(k) liability (offset in other income within the inpatient rehabilitation segment) and higher costs associated with incentive compensation.
2021 guidance
The Company increased its full-year guidance to reflect its first quarter results and the extension of the suspension of sequestration.

| Full-Year 2021 Guidance Ranges
| Previous Guidance |  | Updated Guidance
| (in millions, except per share data)
Net operating revenues | $5,000 to $5,170 |  | $5,060 to $5,230
Adjusted EBITDA | $925 to $955 |  | $1,000 to $1,030
Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Encompass Health | $3.31 to $3.53 |  | $3.94 to $4.16

On December 9, 2020, the Company announced it is exploring strategic alternatives for its home health and hospice business. The review is ongoing. The Company's 2021 guidance assumes the continuation of the current structure of the business. The guidance may change depending on the outcome of the review.

Other information
The information in this press release is summarized and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “March 2021 Form 10-Q”), when filed, as well as the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 27, 2021 (the “Q1 Earnings Form 8-K”), to which this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1. In addition, the Company will post supplemental information today on its website at http://investor.encompasshealth.com for reference during its April 28, 2021 earnings call.
The financial data contained in the press release and supplemental information include non-GAAP financial measures, including the Company’s adjusted earnings per share, leverage ratio, Adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted free cash flow. Reconciliations to their most comparable GAAP measure, except with regard to non-GAAP guidance, are included below or in the Q1 Earnings Form 8-K. Readers are encouraged to review the “Note Regarding Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in the Q1 Earnings Form 8-K which provides further explanation and disclosure regarding the Company’s use of these non-GAAP financial measures.
Excluding net operating revenues, the Company does not provide guidance on a GAAP basis because it is unable to predict, with reasonable certainty, the future impact of items that are deemed to be outside the control of the Company or otherwise non-indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Such items include government, class action, and related settlements; professional fees—accounting, tax, and legal; mark-to-market adjustments for stock appreciation rights; gains or losses related to hedging instruments; loss on early extinguishment of debt; adjustments to its income tax provision (such as valuation allowance adjustments and settlements of income tax claims); items related to corporate and facility restructurings; and certain other items the Company believes to be non-indicative of its ongoing operations. These items cannot be reasonably predicted and will depend on several factors, including industry and market conditions, and could be material to the Company's results computed in accordance with GAAP.
However, the following reasonably estimable GAAP measures for 2021 would be included in a reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA if the other reconciling GAAP measures could be reasonably predicted:
•Interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and fees - estimate of $164 million to $174 million
•Amortization of debt-related items - approximately $9 million
The Q1 Earnings Form 8-K and, when filed, the March 2021 Form 10-Q can be found on the Company's website at http://investor.encompasshealth.com and the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
