Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 (In thousands, unaudited) | | | | The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is important to investors because Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator of performance by investors within the healthcare industry. Adjusted EBITDA is used to evaluate financial performance and determine resource allocation for each of Select Medical’s operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income, income from operations, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying definitions, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. | | | | The following table reconciles net income to Adjusted EBITDA for Select Medical. Adjusted EBITDA is used by Select Medical to report its segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, acquisition costs associated with U.S. HealthWorks, non-operating gain (loss), and equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries. | | | | | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | 2018 | | 2019 | | Net income | $ | 43,982 | | | $ | 53,344 | | | Income tax expense | 12,294 | | | 18,467 | | | Interest expense | 47,163 | | | 50,811 | | | Non-operating gain | (399) | | | (6,532) | | | Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries | (4,697) | | | (4,366) | | | Loss on early retirement of debt | 10,255 | | | — | | | Income from operations | 108,598 | | | 111,724 | | | Stock compensation expense: | | | | | Included in general and administrative | 3,990 | | | 4,748 | | | Included in cost of services | 937 | | | 1,507 | | | Depreciation and amortization | 46,771 | | | 52,138 | | | U.S. HealthWorks acquisition costs | 2,936 | | | — | | | Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 163,232 | | | $ | 170,117 | | | | | | | | Critical illness recovery hospital | $ | 72,972 | | | $ | 72,998 | | | Rehabilitation hospital | 26,776 | | | 25,797 | | | Outpatient rehabilitation | 30,525 | | | 28,991 | | | Concentra | 57,797 | | | 66,258 | | | Other(a) | (24,838) | | | (23,927) | | | Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 163,232 | | | $ | 170,117 | | | | | | | (a) Other primarily includes general and administrative costs. | VII. Reconciliation of Earnings per Common Share to Adjusted Earnings per Common Share For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 (In thousands, except per share amounts, unaudited) | | Adjusted net income attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Items excluded from adjusted net income attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Select Medical believes that the presentation of adjusted net income attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share are important to investors because they are reflective of the financial performance of our ongoing operations and provide better comparability of our results of operations between periods. Adjusted net income attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to, or substitutes for, net income, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because adjusted net income attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted net income attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. | | The following tables reconcile net income attributable to common shares and earnings per common share on a fully diluted basis to adjusted net income attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share on a fully diluted basis. | | | Three Months Ended March 31, | | 2018 | | Per Share(a) | | 2019 | | Per Share(a) | Net income attributable to common shares(a) | $ | 32,629 | | | $ | 0.25 | | | $ | 39,491 | | | $ | 0.30 | | Adjustments:(b) | | | | | | | | Loss on early retirement of debt | 4,390 | | | 0.03 | | | — | | | — | | Non-operating gain | (284) | | | (0.00) | | | (4,545) | | | (0.03) | | U.S. HealthWorks acquisition costs | 1,017 | | | 0.01 | | | — | | | — | | Adjusted net income attributable to common shares | $ | 37,752 | | | $ | 0.29 | | | $ | 34,946 | | | $ | 0.27 | | | | | | (a) | Net income attributable to common shares and earnings per common share are calculated based on the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, as presented in table II. | (b) | Adjustments to net income attributable to common shares include estimated income tax and non-controlling interest impacts and are calculated based on the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. | VIII.
