Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Select Medical’s Results of Operations

The broader implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on Select Medical’s results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain. Select Medical is a healthcare service provider that provides patient care services in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Select Medical has provided certain additional performance metrics to assist readers in understanding how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted each of its segments during the one month ended March 31, 2020, including its (i) net operating revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the two months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, (ii) net operating revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the one month ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, (iii) net operating revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and (iv) certain operating statistics for each of the aforementioned periods.

Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment. Select Medical’s critical illness recovery hospitals are a key part of the inpatient hospital continuum of care. Both the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and Congress acted to temporarily suspend certain regulations concerning length of stay requirements, which impact Select Medical’s critical illness recovery hospitals, in order to facilitate the transfer of patients from general acute care hospitals. This was done in order to expand hospital bed capacity to care for COVID-19 patients. As COVID-19 has spread in the general acute care hospitals in many markets where it operates, Select Medical has admitted patients with COVID-19 and has faced the challenging task of treating them while attempting to protect its patients and staff members who do not have COVID-19. The hospitals have followed CDC guidelines, directives and recommendations with regard to the use of personal protective equipment and the isolation and treatment of patients with COVID-19. The pandemic has caused, and will continue to cause, disruptions in Select Medical’s critical illness recovery hospitals, which include, in some cases, the addition or reduction of beds, the creation of isolated units and spaces, temporary increases or restrictions on admissions, the incurrence of additional costs, staff illnesses, and the increased use of contract clinical labor.

Rehabilitation Hospital Segment. Select Medical’s rehabilitation hospitals receive most of their admissions from general acute care hospitals. Both CMS and Congress acted to temporarily suspend certain regulations that govern admissions into rehabilitation hospitals to facilitate the transfer of patients from general acute care hospitals and critical illness recovery hospitals. This was done in order to expand hospital bed capacity to care for COVID-19 patients. As COVID-19 has spread in the general acute care hospitals in many markets where it operates, Select Medical has admitted patients with COVID-19 and has faced the challenging task of treating them while attempting to protect its patients and staff members who do not have COVID-19. The hospitals have followed CDC guidelines, directives and recommendations with regard to the use of personal protective equipment and the isolation and treatment of patients with COVID-19. The pandemic has caused, and will continue to cause, disruptions in Select Medical’s rehabilitation hospitals, which include, in some cases, the addition or reduction of beds, the creation of isolated units and spaces, temporary restrictions on admissions, the incurrence of additional costs, staff illnesses, and the increased use of contract clinical labor. Additionally, elective surgeries at hospitals and other facilities have been suspended which is reducing the need for inpatient rehabilitation services.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment. Beginning in mid-March, hospitals and other facilities began to suspend elective surgeries. Additionally, state governments in the areas experiencing the most significant growth of COVID-19 infections began implementing mandatory closures of non-essential or non-life sustaining businesses, restrictions on individual activities outside of the home, restrictions on travel, and closures of schools. These actions continued to expand throughout March and by the end of March, most states implemented significant restrictions on businesses and individuals. The suspension of elective surgeries at hospitals and other facilities and the reduction of physician office visits combined with recommendations of social distancing and the other items noted above have had significant effects on patient visit volumes. As a result, Select Medical has temporarily consolidated the operations of some of its clinics by transferring staff and patients.

Concentra Segment. Beginning in mid-March, state governments in the areas experiencing the most significant growth of COVID-19 infections began implementing mandatory closures of non-essential or non-life sustaining businesses. These actions have continued to expand throughout March. By the end of March, most states implemented significant restrictions on businesses. These actions have had significant effects on patient visit volumes as employers have furloughed workforces and temporarily ceased operations or have significantly reduced their operations. As a result, Select Medical has temporarily consolidated the operations of some of its centers by transferring staff and patients.

Select Medical provided below certain performance measures and operating statistics used by management to help illustrate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operating results. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, Select Medical defined the pre-COVID-19 outbreak period as the two months ended February 29, 2020, and the post-COVID-19 outbreak period as the one month ended March 31, 2020. Select Medical provided prior year comparative data for the pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 outbreak periods presented. The following performance measures and operating statistics should be considered in conjunction with the operating results for the full quarter ended March 31, 2020. The performance measures and operating statistics presented for the two months ended February 29, 2020 and the one month ended March 31, 2020 are, when combined, equal to the performance measures and operating statistics presented for the full quarter ended March 31, 2020. The same is true for the prior year comparative data.
