General and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation | $ | 28.6 |  |  | 2.1% |  | $ | 36.8 |  |  | 2.9%

General and administrative expenses decreased as a percent of consolidated revenue due to improved operating leverage, a decline in the mark-to-market value of the Company’s nonqualified 401(k) plan, and lower incentive compensation in Q2 2022.
General and administrat ive expenses in the above table exclude $22.9 mil lion and $4.1 million in costs associated with the strategic alternatives review of the Company’s home health and hospice business for the second quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2021, respectively.

Revenue reserves related to bad debt as a percent of revenue increased 50 basis points, primarily attributable to a shift in payor mix toward non-Medicare payors.
Growth in net patient revenue per discharge of 1.3% primarily resulted from an increase in reimbursement rates, partially offset by the resumption of sequestration.
Outpatient and other revenue was unchanged.
•Adjuste d EBITDA – The 11.4% decrease in Adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from increased utilization and pricing of agency staffing and sign-on and shift bonuses.

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 not 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 not 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 2022 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 $160 million to $170 million
•Amortization of debt-related items - approximately $10 million
The Q2 Earnings Form 8-K and, when filed, the June 2022 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.
