SELECT MEDICAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Select Medical Holdings Corporation (“Holdings”) include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, Select Medical Corporation (“Select”). Holdings conducts substantially all of its business through Select and its subsidiaries. Holdings and Select and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.” The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, and for the three and nine month periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 and 2021, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting and the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by GAAP, which are normally included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flow for such periods. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021.

2. Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. As part of this update, convertible instruments are to be included in diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method, rather than the treasury stock method. Further, contracts which can be settled in cash or shares, excluding liability-classified share-based payment awards, are to be included in diluted earnings per share on an if-converted basis if the effect is dilutive, regardless of whether the entity or the counterparty can choose between cash and share settlement. The share-settlement presumption may not be rebutted based on past experience or a stated policy. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company plans to adopt this pronouncement as of January 1, 2022. The use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition is permitted.

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Concentra Group Holdings Parent, certain members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent have put rights that obligate the Company to purchase certain of such members’ equity interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent when exercised. The Company can elect to pay the purchase price for those equity interests in cash or in shares of Holdings’ common stock. Under ASU 2020-06, the Company is no longer able to rebut the share-settlement presumption based on its past experience. Accordingly, if any of the put rights provided for under the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Concentra Group Holdings Parent are outstanding upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, the shares which are potentially issuable will be included in diluted earnings per share, on an if-converted basis. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on its financial statements.

3. Credit Risk Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash balances and accounts receivable. The Company’s excess cash is held with large financial institutions. The Company grants unsecured credit to its patients, most of whom reside in the service area of the Company’s facilities and are insured under third-party payor agreements.

Because of the diversity in the Company’s non-governmental third-party payor base, as well as their geographic dispersion, accounts receivable due from the Medicare program represent the Company’s only significant concentration of credit risk. Approximately 18% and ~~17%~~12% of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from Medicare at December 31, 2020, and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, respectively.

4. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests

The ownership interests held by outside parties in subsidiaries, which include limited liability companies and limited partnerships, controlled by the Company are classified as non-controlling interests. Some of the Company’s non-controlling ownership interests consist of outside parties that have certain redemption rights that, if exercised, require the Company to purchase the parties’ ownership interests. These interests are classified and reported as redeemable non-controlling interests and have been adjusted to their approximate redemption values, after the attribution of net income or loss.

The Company’s redeemable non-controlling interests are comprised primarily of the voting membership interests owned by outside members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent, each of which have put rights with respect to their interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent.

The changes in redeemable non-controlling interests were as follows:

5. Variable Interest Entities

Certain states prohibit the “corporate practice of medicine,” which restricts the Company from owning medical practices which directly employ physicians and from exercising control over medical decisions by physicians. In these states, the Company enters into long-term management agreements with medical practices that are owned by licensed physicians, which, in turn, employ or contract with physicians who provide professional medical services. The management agreements provide for the Company to direct the transfer of ownership of the medical practices to new licensed physicians at any time. Based on the provisions of the management agreements, the medical practices are variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2020 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the total assets of the Company’s variable interest entities were $208.4 million and ~~$229.0~~$257.8 million, respectively, and are principally comprised of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2020 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the total liabilities of these variable interest entities were $55.1 million and ~~$63.2~~$84.4 million, respectively, and are principally comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses. The Company’s variable interest entities have obligations payable for services received under the aforementioned management agreements of $151.8 million and ~~$164.3~~$172.9 million as of December 31, 2020 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, respectively; these intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Select Credit Facilities

On June 2, 2021, Select entered into Amendment No. 5 to its senior secured credit agreement (the “Select credit agreement”) which, among other things, increased the aggregate commitments available under its revolving credit facility (the “Select revolving facility”) from $450.0 million to $650.0 million, including a $125.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit.

Concentra-JPM Revolving Facility

On June 2, 2021, Concentra Inc. terminated its obligations under its first lien credit agreement (the “Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement”). The Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement provided for commitments of $100.0 million under a revolving credit facility (the “Concentra-JPM revolving facility”), which was set to mature on March 1, 2022.

9. Interest Rate Cap

The Company is subject to market risk exposure arising from changes in interest rates on the Select term loan, which bears interest at a variable interest rate. The Company’s objective in using an interest rate derivative is to mitigate its exposure to increases in interest rates. The interest rate cap limits the Company’s exposure to increases in the reference rate to 1.0% on $2.0 billion of principal outstanding under the Select term loan. The interest rate cap isbecame effective March 31, 2021 for the monthly periods from and including April 30, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The Company will pay a ~~monthly~~ premium for the interest rate cap over the term of the agreement. The annual premium is equal to 0.0916% of the notional amount.

The interest rate cap has been designated as a cash flow hedge and is highly effective at offsetting the changes in cash outflows when the reference rate exceeds 1.0%. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap, net of tax, are recognized in other comprehensive income and are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and into interest expense when the hedged interest obligations affect earnings. ~~During~~

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments which are measured at fair value, or for which a fair value is disclosed, are classified in the fair value hierarchy, as outlined below, on the basis of the observability of the inputs used in the fair value measurement:

•Level 1 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument.

The Company’s interest rate cap contract is recorded at its fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of the interest rate cap contract is based upon a model-derived valuation using observable market inputs, such as interest rates and interest rate volatility, and the strike price.

13. Earnings per Share

The Company’s capital structure includes common stock and unvested restricted stock awards. To compute earnings per share (“EPS”), the Company applies the two-class method because the Company’s unvested restricted stock awards are participating securities which are entitled to participate equally with the Company’s common stock in undistributed earnings. Application of the Company’s two-class method is as follows:

(i)Net income attributable to the Company is reduced by the amount of dividends declared and by the contractual amount of dividends that must be paid for the current period for each class of stock. There were ~~0 dividends declared or~~no contractual dividends paid for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 and 2021.

(ii)The remaining undistributed net income of the Company is then equally allocated to its common stock and unvested restricted stock awards, as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total net income allocated to each security is determined by adding both distributed and undistributed net income for the period.

(iii)The net income allocated to each security is then divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares for the period to determine the EPS for each security considered in the two-class method.

The following table sets forth the net income attributable to the Company, its common shares outstanding, and its participating securities outstanding.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is a party to various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (some of which are not insured), and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations in the ordinary course of its business. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, proceedings, and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations. These matters could potentially subject the Company to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines, and other penalties. The Department of Justice, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), or other federal and state enforcement and regulatory agencies may conduct additional investigations related to the Company’s businesses in the future that may, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

To address claims arising out of the Company’s operations, the Company maintains professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance coverages through a number of different programs that are dependent upon such factors as the state where the Company is operating and whether the operations are wholly owned or are operated through a joint venture. For the Company’s wholly owned operations, the Company currently maintains insurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of up to $37.0 million for professional malpractice liability insurance and $40.0 million for general liability insurance. The Company’s insurance for the professional liability coverage is written on a “claims-made” basis, and its commercial general liability coverage is maintained on an “occurrence” basis. These coverages apply after a self-insured retention limit is exceeded. For the Company’s joint venture operations, the Company has designed a separate insurance program that responds to the risks of specific joint ventures. Most of the Company’s joint ventures are insured under a master program with an annual aggregate limit of up to $80.0 million, subject to a sublimit aggregate ranging from $23.0 million to $33.0 million for most joint ventures. The policies are generally written on a “claims-made” basis. Each of these programs has either a deductible or self-insured retention limit. The Company reviews its insurance program annually and may make adjustments to the amount of insurance coverage and self-insured retentions in future years. The Company also maintains umbrella liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered by the Company’s other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. Significant legal actions, as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance, could subject the Company to substantial uninsured liabilities. In the Company’s opinion, the outcome of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Healthcare providers are subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether or not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. The Company is and has been a defendant in these cases in the past, and may be named as a defendant in similar cases from time to time in the future.

~~Contract Therapy Subpoena.~~ On May 18, 2017, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey seeking various documents principally relating to the Company’s contract therapy division, which contracted to furnish rehabilitation therapy services to residents of skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and other providers. The Company operated its contract therapy division through a subsidiary until March 31, 2016, when the Company sold the stock of the subsidiary. The subpoena seeks documents that appear to be aimed at assessing whether therapy services were furnished and billed in compliance with Medicare SNF billing requirements, including whether therapy services were coded at inappropriate levels and whether excessive or unnecessary therapy was furnished to justify coding at higher paying levels. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has indicated that the subpoena was issued in connection with a qui tam lawsuit. The Company has produced documents in response to the subpoena and intends to fully cooperate with this investigation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

Oklahoma City Subpoena. On August 24, 2020, the Company and Select Specialty Hospital – Oklahoma City, Inc. (“SSH–Oklahoma City”) received Civil Investigative Demands from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Oklahoma seeking responses to interrogatories and the production of various documents principally relating to the documentation, billing and reviews of medical services furnished to patients at SSH-Oklahoma City. The Company does not know whether the subpoena has been issued in connection with a qui tam lawsuit or in connection with possible civil, criminal or administrative proceedings by the government. The Company is producing documents in response to the subpoena and intends to fully cooperate with this investigation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

New Jersey Litigation. In December 2020, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey unsealed a qui tam complaint in the United States of America and State of New Jersey ex rel. Keith A. DiLello, Sr. v. Hackensack Meridian Health, Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Ocean Medical Center, Seaview Orthopaedics, Shrewsbury Surgery Center, Kessler Rehabilitation, Dr. Halambros Demetriades, Dr. Theodore Kutzan, Dr. Adam Myers, Dr. Hoan-Vu Nguyen, Dr. Frederick De Paola, ABC Corporations 1-10, and John/Jane Does 1-10, Case 3:20-cv-02949-FLW-ZNQ. The complaint was filed under seal in March 2020 and was unsealed after the United States and the State of New Jersey declined to intervene in the case. In the complaint, the plaintiff-relator, an automobile accident victim and former patient of the defendant providers, alleges that they routinely billed both personal injury protection (“PIP”) carriers and CMS. He alleges that they violated federal and state law by billing CMS when other insurance is available and failing to return payment to CMS after payment was made by the PIP carriers. In March 2021, defendant Kessler Rehabilitation waived service of process of the complaint. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

Physical Therapy Billing. On October 7, 2021, the Company received a one-page letter from a Trial Attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Division, Commercial Litigation Branch, Fraud Section (“DOJ”). The letter stated that the DOJ, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is investigating the Company in connection with potential violations of the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, et seq. The letter specified that the investigation relates to the Company’s billing of physical therapy services. The Company intends to produce documents and data in response to such letter and to fully cooperate with this investigation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

Medicare Dual-Eligible Litigation

The Company’s critical illness recovery hospitals have pursued claims against CMS involving denied Medicare bad debt reimbursement for copayments and deductibles of dual-eligible Medicaid ~~beneficiaries. One group of claims affects 75 hospitals in 26 states~~beneficiaries for cost reporting periods ending in 2005 through 2010. ~~After appeals taken by the Company, a~~A U.S. District Court ~~in August 2019,~~ ruled in favor of the Company and ordered CMS to determine and pay the Medicare bad debt reimbursement plus ~~interest. The Company~~interest and, CMS agreed on the amounts of bad debts incurred, but CMS took the position that these amounts need to be reduced by what the state Medicaid programs would have paid. In December 2020, the Company filed a motion with the U.S. District Court to enforce the judgment and order CMS to pay the bad debt amounts without a Medicaid reduction. In January 2021, the Company received correspondence from CMS indicating that it was proceeding to effectuate the judgment based on its own computation of the Medicare bad debt reimbursement.

15. CARES Act

Provider Relief Funds

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted. Since the enactment of the CARES Act, the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries have received approximately ~~$208.0~~$208.4 million of payments from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also referred to as the Provider Relief Fund. The Company is able to use payments received under the Provider Relief Fund for “health care related expenses or lost revenues that are attributable to ~~coronavirus” through June 30, 2021. Health care related expenses and lost revenues must be determined for each of the Company’s subsidiaries by taxpayer identification number.~~coronavirus.” The Provider Relief Fund payments must first be applied against health care related expenses attributable to COVID-19. Provider Relief Fund payments not fully expended on healthcare related expenses attributable to COVID-19 are then applied to lost revenues. The provisions of the Provider Relief Fund payments permit a parent organization to allocate all or a portion of its general and targeted distributions among its subsidiaries which are eligible health care providers.

~~Since the CARES Act was enacted, the~~The Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) has issued a series of post-payment notices of reporting requirements and other guidance which, in some instances, have significantly altered the terms and conditions surrounding the Provider Relief Fund ~~payments. Consequently,~~payments since the ~~Company believes that~~enactment of the ~~terms and conditions surrounding~~CARES Act.

The latest~~ provisions and reporting requirements associated with the Provider Relief Fund payments were signed into law as part of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (“CRRSA Act”) on December 27, 2020. This legislation, among other things, included provisions which permit a parent organization to allocate all or a portion of its targeted distributions among its subsidiaries. On January 15, 2021, HHS released an updated post-payment notice of reporting requirements which incorporates the provisionsAs part of the ~~CRRSA Act.

Payments received during the period from April 10, 2020 through June 30, 2020 were required to be reported by September 30, 2021. However, HHS authorized a 60-day grace period ending November 30, 2021 for such reporting period to help providers adhere to the Provider Relief Fund reporting requirements. The Company has completed such reporting requirements for payments it received between April 10, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Overview

We began operations in 1997 and, based on number of facilities, are one of the largest operators of critical illness recovery hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and occupational health centers in the United States. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, we had operations in 46 states and the District of Columbia. We operated 99100 critical illness recovery hospitals in 28 states, 30 rehabilitation hospitals in 12 states, and ~~1,809~~1,850 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 3739 states and the District of Columbia. Concentra, a joint venture subsidiary, operated 519 occupational health centers in 41 states as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. Concentra also provides contract services at employer worksites.

Our reportable segments include the critical illness recovery hospital segment, the rehabilitation hospital segment, the outpatient rehabilitation segment, and the Concentra segment. We had revenue of ~~$1,546.5~~$4,644.7 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. Of this total, we earned approximately ~~38%~~36% of our revenue from our critical illness recovery hospital segment, approximately ~~13%~~14% from our rehabilitation hospital segment, approximately ~~16%~~17% from our outpatient rehabilitation segment, and approximately ~~27%~~28% from our Concentra segment. Our critical illness recovery hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of patients recovering from critical illnesses, often with complex medical needs, and our rehabilitation hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive physical rehabilitation care. Patients are typically admitted to our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals from general acute care hospitals. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics that provide physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation services. Our Concentra segment consists of occupational health centers that provide workers’ compensation injury care, physical therapy, and consumer health services as well as onsite clinics located at employer worksites that deliver occupational medicine services.

Non-GAAP Measure

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, 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 by management to evaluate financial performance and determine resource allocation for each of our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under 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.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, gain (loss) on sale of businesses, and equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries. We will refer to Adjusted EBITDA throughout the remainder of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The table below reconciles net income and income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA and should be referenced when we discuss Adjusted EBITDA:

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Results of Operations ~~during the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2021~~

Beginning in March 2020, state governments placed significant restrictions on businesses and mandated closures of non-essential or non-life sustaining businesses, causing many employers to furlough their workforce and temporarily cease or significantly reduce their operations. State governments also implemented restrictions on travel and individual activities outside of the home, closed schools, and mandated other social distancing measures. At the same time, hospitals and other facilities began suspending elective surgeries. In an effort to ensure hospitals and health systems had the capacity to absorb and effectively manage surges of COVID-19 patients, a number of waivers and modifications of certain requirements under the Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP programs were authorized in March 2020, including certain regulations under the Medicare program which govern admissions into our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals. Specifically, our critical illness recovery hospitals which are certified as LTCHs became exempt from the greater-than-25-day average length of stay requirement for all cost reporting periods that include the COVID-19 public health emergency period. Our rehabilitation hospitals which are certified as IRFs could exclude patients admitted solely to respond to the emergency from the calculation of the “60 percent rule” thresholds to receive payment as an IRF. The COVID-19 public health emergency period has been extended and is currently in effect through ~~July 20, 2021.~~January 15, 2022.

The adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the actions of governmental authorities and those in the private sector to limit the spread of COVID-19, caused disruptions in each of our segments; these disruptions were most significant within our outpatient rehabilitation and Concentra segments. By mid-March 2020, our outpatient rehabilitation clinics began experiencing significantly less patient visit volume due to declines in patient referrals from physicians, a reduction in workers’ compensation injury visits resulting from the temporary closure of businesses, and the suspension of elective surgeries which would have required outpatient rehabilitation services. Our Concentra centers experienced similar declines in patient visit volume due to businesses furloughing their workforce and temporarily ceasing or significantly reducing their operations. ~~The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to adversely impact our patient visit volume in January and February 2021; however, in~~Since March 2021, ~~both~~ our outpatient rehabilitation clinics and Concentra centers have experienced patient visit ~~volume approximating~~volumes which approximate or exceed the levels experienced in ~~January and February 2020,~~ the months ~~preceding~~prior to the widespread emergence of COVID-19 in the United States. Although they have experienced temporary disruptions in their core businesses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our outpatient rehabilitation and Concentra segments have been able to expand their services to provide COVID-19 screening and testing.

Our critical illness recovery hospitals have played a critical role in caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the relaxation of certain admission restrictions have contributed to volume increases in certain of our hospitals. The revenue of our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals has also benefited from the temporary suspension of the 2.0% cut to Medicare payments due to sequestration, which began May 1, 2020 following the enactment of the CARES Act, and has been extended through December 31, 2021. Certain of our rehabilitation hospitals experienced temporary declines in patient volume, beginning in March 2020, in areas more significantly impacted by the spread of COVID-19, ~~such~~and as ~~New Jersey, and due to~~a result of the suspension of elective surgeries at hospitals and other facilities, which consequently reduced the demand for inpatient rehabilitation services. Additionally, some of our rehabilitation hospitals temporarily restricted admissions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, both our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals modified certain of their protocols in order to follow the guidelines and recommendations for patient treatment and for the protection of our patients and staff members. This has resulted in increased labor costs, including increased contracted labor usage, as well as additional costs resulting from the purchase of personal protective equipment.

The unpredictable effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the duration and extent of disruption on our operations, creates uncertainties about our future operating results and financial condition. We have provided revenue and certain operating statistics below for each of our segments for each of the periods presented. Please refer to our risk factors previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further discussion.

Regulatory Changes

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021, contains a detailed discussion of the regulations that affect our business in Part I — Business — Government Regulations. The following is a discussion of some of the more significant healthcare regulatory changes that have affected our financial performance in the periods covered by this report or are likely to affect our financial performance and financial condition in the future. The information below should be read in conjunction with the more detailed discussion of regulations contained in our Form 10-K.

Medicare Reimbursement

The Medicare program reimburses healthcare providers for services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries, which are generally persons age 65 and older, those who are chronically disabled, and those suffering from end stage renal disease. The program is governed by the Social Security Act of 1965 and is administered primarily by the HHS and CMS. Revenue generated directly from the Medicare program represented approximately ~~24%~~23% of our revenue for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, and 25% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Federal Health Care Program Changes in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

On January 31, 2020, HHS declared a public health emergency under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. § 247d, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. The HHS Secretary renewed the public health emergency determination for 90-day periods effective on April 26, 2020, July 25, 2020, October 23, 2020, January 21, 2021, ~~and~~ April 21, 2021, July 20, 2021, and October 18, 2021. On March 13, 2020, President Trump declared a national emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the HHS Secretary authorized the waiver or modification of certain requirements under the Medicare, Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) pursuant to section 1135 of the Social Security Act. Under this authority, CMS issued a number of blanket waivers that excuse health care providers or suppliers from specific program requirements. The following blanket waivers, while in effect, may impact our results of operations:

i.Inpatient rehabilitation facilities (“IRFs”), IRF units, and hospitals and units applying to be classified as IRFs, can exclude patients admitted solely to respond to the emergency from the calculation of the “60 percent rule” thresholds to receive payment as an IRF.

ii.Long-term care hospitals (“LTCHs”) are exempt from the greater-than-25-day average length of stay requirement for all cost reporting periods that include the COVID-19 public health emergency period. Hospitals seeking LTCH classification can exclude patient stays from the greater-than-25-day average length of stay requirement where the patient was admitted or discharged to meet the demands of the COVID-19 public health emergency.

iii.Medicare expanded the types of health care professionals who can furnish telehealth services to include all those who are eligible to bill Medicare for their professional services. This allows health care professionals who were previously ineligible to furnish and bill for Medicare telehealth services, including physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, and others, to receive payment for Medicare telehealth services.

iv.Medicare will not require out-of-state physician and non-physician practitioners to be licensed in the state where they are providing services when they are licensed in another state, subject to certain conditions and state or local licensure requirements.

v.Many requirements under the hospital conditions of participation (“CoPs”) are waived during the emergency period to give hospitals more flexibility in treating COVID-19 patients.

vi.Hospitals can operate temporary expansion locations without meeting the provider-based entity requirements or certain requirements in the physical environment CoP for hospitals during the emergency. This waiver also allows hospitals to change the status of their current provider-based department locations to meet patient needs as part of the state or local pandemic plan.

vii.IRFs, LTCHs, and certain other providers did not need to submit quality data to Medicare for October 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 to comply with the quality reporting programs.

viii.The HHS Secretary waived sanctions under the physician self-referral law (i.e., Stark law) for certain types of remuneration and referral arrangements that are related to a COVID-19 purpose. The Office of the Inspector General (“OIG”) will also exercise enforcement discretion to not impose administrative sanctions under the federal anti-kickback statute for many payments covered by the Stark law waivers.

CMS also approved section 1135 waivers and/or temporary changes to Medicaid and/or CHIP state plan amendments for 54every state Medicaid ~~programs~~program (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other territories)~~, 51 temporary~~. In addition, CMS approved traditional changes to ~~Medicaid or CHIP state plan amendments, 4 traditional changes to~~some states’ Medicaid state plan amendments and section 1115 waivers in certain states for ~~12 state~~ Medicaid demonstration projects addressing the COVID-19 public health emergency. CMS will consider specific waiver requests from providers and suppliers. We have submitted one or more specific waiver requests to make it easier for our operators or referral partners to treat COVID-19 patients, and we may submit others in the future.

Pursuant to the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, Public Law 116-123, CMS has waived Medicare telehealth payment requirements during the emergency so that beneficiaries in all areas of the country (not just rural areas) can receive telehealth services, including in their homes, beginning on March 6, 2020. CMS issued additional waivers to permit more than 160 additional services to be furnished by telehealth, allow physicians to monitor patient services remotely, and fulfill face-to-face requirements in IRFs.

In addition to these agency actions, the CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020. It provides additional waivers, reimbursement, grants and other funds to assist health care providers during the COVID-19 public health emergency. Some of the CARES Act provisions that may impact our operations include:

i.$100 billion in appropriations for the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund to be used for preventing, preparing, and responding to COVID-19 and for reimbursing “eligible health care providers for health care related expenses or lost revenues that are attributable to coronavirus.” The Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, Public Law 116-139, added $75 billion to this fund. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, added another $3 billion to this fund. HHS has allocated ~~three~~four general distributions from the fund for payments to Medicare providers. The Phase 1 General Distribution included $30 billion for health care providers that received Medicare fee-for-service payments in 2019. Another $20 billion was allocated to Medicare providers in a manner that was intended to make the entire $50 billion Phase 1 General Distribution proportional to each provider’s share of 2018 net patient revenue. Payments from the additional $20 billion allocation were determined based on the lesser of a provider’s 2018 (or most recent complete tax year) gross receipts or the sum of incurred losses for March and April of 2020. HHS distributed $16 billion from the additional $20 billion allocation. The Phase 2 General Distribution allocated $18 billion for providers in state Medicaid/CHIP programs, Medicaid managed care plans, dentists, and certain Medicare providers who did not receive a Phase 1 General Distribution payment. HHS distributed $5.98 billion from the $18 billion Phase 2 allocation. The Phase 3 General Distribution ~~included~~was projected to include $20 billion for providers to apply for if they suffered financial losses or changes in operating expenses caused by COVID-19 or if they were previously ineligible for a general distribution. HHS made $24.5 billion in payments as part of the Phase 3 General Distribution. HHS recently announced a Phase 4 General Distribution allocation of $17 billion. Providers may apply for a Phase 4 General Distribution payment if they have lost revenues and eligible expenses from July 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. HHS says it intends to make the Phase 4 payments more equitable than earlier distributions and will reimburse smaller providers at a higher rate than large providers. The application for a Phase 4 General Distribution payment also allows applicants to seek a payment from a $8.5 billion American Rescue Plan fund for providers that serve rural Medicaid, CHIP, or Medicare patients. The remainder of the COVID-19 related appropriations to the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund is for targeted allocations to providers in high impact COVID-19 areas ($20.75 billion), rural providers (approximately $11.09 billion), skilled nursing facilities (approximately $5 billion), nursing home infection control (approximately $2.75 billion), safety net hospitals (approximately $13.07 billion), Indian Health Service and urban health centers ($520 million), children’s hospitals ($1.06 billion), and unspecified allocations for providers treating uninsured COVID-19 patients. HHS also established a $2.25 billion incentive payment structure for skilled nursing facilities and nursing homes for keeping new COVID-19 infection and mortality rates among residents lower than the communities they serve.

Table of Contents

Starting on July 1, 2021, recipients of these payments must begin reporting data to HHS on the use of the funds via an online portal. By September 30, 2021, recipients must report to HHS on the use of funds received from April 10, 2020 to June 30, 2020. HHS announced a 60-day grace period for this September 30, 2021 deadline because providers were facing challenges from recent natural disasters and the COVID-19 Delta variant. HHS will not initiate collection activities or enforcement actions against providers during this grace period. The deadline to apply payments received from April 10, 2020 to June 30, 2020 towards eligible expenses and lost revenue attributable to COVID-19 was June 30, 2021. For payments received from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, recipients must use the funds by December 31, 2021 and will report to HHS regarding the use of the funds during the period of January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022. Next, any payments received from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 must be used by June 30, 2022 and recipients must report to HHS regarding such payments from July 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022. Finally, if any provider receives payments during the period of July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, the provider must use the funds by December 31, 2022 and report to HHS on the use of these funds during the period of January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2023. Any funds that a provider does not apply towards expenses or lost revenue attributable to COVID-19 must be returned to HHS within 30 calendar days after the end of the applicable reporting period. All recipients of funds are subject to audit by HHS, the HHS OIG, or the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee. Audits may include examination of the accuracy of the data providers submitted to HHS in their applications for payments.

ii.Expansion of the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program to advance three months of payments to Medicare providers. CMS has the ability to recoup the advanced payments through future Medicare claims. Section 2501 of the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021 and Other Extensions Act, Public Law 116-159, modified the terms of repayment so that a provider can request no recoupment for one year after the advanced payment was issued, followed by a 25% offset the next 11 months, and a 50% offset the last 6 months. Any amounts that remain unpaid after 29 months will be subject to a 4% interest rate (instead of 10.25%). CMS began recouping advance payments on March 30, 2021, but the actual date for each provider is based on the first anniversary of when the provider received the first payment. CMS publishes repayment data every six months, beginning June 28, 2021.

iii.Temporary suspension of the 2% cut to Medicare payments due to sequestration so that, for the period of May 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, the Medicare program will be exempt from any sequestration order. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, extended this temporary suspension of the 2% sequestration cut through March 31, 2021. The Medicare sequester relief bill, which became Public Law 117-7, extended the temporary suspension of the sequestration cut again, through December 31, 2021. To pay for the continued suspension of the sequestration cuts through December 31, 2021, Congress increased the sequester cuts that will apply in fiscal year 2030.

~~Table of Contents~~

iv.Two waivers of Medicare statutory requirements regarding site neutral payment to LTCHs. The first waives the LTCH discharge payment percentage requirement (i.e., 50% rule) for the cost reporting period(s) that include the emergency period. The second waives application of the site neutral payment rate so that all LTCH cases admitted during the emergency period will be paid the LTCH-PPS standard federal rate.

v.Waiver of the IRF 3-hour rule so that IRF services provided during the public health emergency period do not need to meet the coverage requirement that patients receive at least 3 hours of therapy a day or 15 hours of therapy per week.

vi.Broader waiver authority for HHS under section 1135 of the Social Security Act to issue additional telehealth waivers.

The CARES Act also provides for a 20% increase in the payment weight for Medicare payments to hospitals paid under the inpatient hospital prospective payment system (“IPPS”) for treating COVID-19 patients. We are monitoring developments related to this provision, in case CMS provides a similar payment add-on for LTCHs and IRFs.

Medicare Reimbursement of LTCH Services

The following is a summary of significant regulatory changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for our critical illness recovery hospitals, which are certified by Medicare as LTCHs, which have affected our results of operations, as well as the policies and payment rates that may affect our future results of operations. Medicare payments to our critical illness recovery hospitals are made in accordance with the long-term care hospital prospective payment system (“LTCH-PPS”).

Fiscal Year 2020. On August 16, 2019, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2020 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020). Certain errors in the final rule were corrected in a document published October 8, 2019. The standard federal rate was set at $42,678, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2019 of $41,559. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2020 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.4%. The standard federal rate also included an area wage budget neutrality factor of 1.0020203 and a temporary, one-time budget neutrality adjustment of 0.999858 in connection with the elimination of the 25 Percent Rule. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $26,778, a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2019 fiscal year of $27,121. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate was set at $26,552, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2019 fiscal year of $25,743. For LTCH discharges occurring in cost reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2020, site neutral payment rate cases will begin to be paid fully on the site neutral payment rate, rather than the transitional blended rate. However, the CARES Act waives the site neutral payment rate for patients admitted during the COVID-19 emergency period and in response to the public health emergency, as discussed above.

Fiscal Year 2021. On September 18, 2020, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2021 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021). Certain errors in the final rule were corrected in a document published December 7, 2020. The standard federal rate was set at $43,755, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2020 of $42,678. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2021 included a market basket increase of 2.3% with no productivity adjustment. The standard federal rate also included an area wage budget neutrality factor of 1.0016837 and a permanent, one-time budget neutrality adjustment of 1.000517 in connection with the elimination of the 25 Percent Rule. As a result of the CARES Act, all LTCH cases are paid at the standard federal rate during the public health emergency. If the public health emergency ends during fiscal year 2021, then CMS will return to using the site-neutral payment rate for reimbursement of cases that do not meet the LTCH patient criteria. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $27,195, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2020 fiscal year of $26,778. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate was set at $29,064, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2020 fiscal year of $26,552.

Fiscal Year 2022. On ~~April 27,~~August 13, 2021, CMS ~~released a display copy of~~published the ~~proposed~~final rule ~~to update~~updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2022 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022). ~~CMS is expected to issue the final rule in August 2021 or shortly thereafter.~~ The ~~proposed~~ standard federal rate ~~for fiscal year 2022 is $44,828,~~was set at $44,714, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2021 of $43,755. The ~~proposed~~ update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2022 ~~includes~~included a market basket increase of ~~2.4%~~2.6%, less a productivity adjustment of ~~0.2%~~0.7%. The ~~proposed~~ standard federal rate also ~~includes~~included an area wage budget neutrality factor of ~~1.002458.~~1.002848. As a result of the CARES Act, all LTCH cases are paid at the standard federal rate during the public health emergency. If the public health emergency ends before or during fiscal year 2022, then CMS will return to using the site-neutral payment rate for reimbursement of cases that do not meet the LTCH patient criteria. The ~~proposed~~ fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS ~~is $32,680,~~was set at $33,015, a significant increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2021 fiscal year of $27,195. The ~~proposed~~ fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate ~~is $30,967,~~was set at $30,988, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2021 fiscal year of $29,064.

Medicare Reimbursement of IRF Services

The following is a summary of significant regulatory changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for our rehabilitation hospitals, which are certified by Medicare as IRFs, which have affected our results of operations, as well as the policies and payment rates that may affect our future results of operations. Medicare payments to our rehabilitation hospitals are made in accordance with the inpatient rehabilitation facility prospective payment system (“IRF-PPS”).

Fiscal Year 2020. On August 8, 2019, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2020 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2020 was set at $16,489, an increase from the standard payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2019 of $16,021. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2020 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.4%. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2020 to $9,300 from $9,402 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2019.

Fiscal Year 2021. On August 10, 2020, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2021 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2021 was set at $16,856, an increase from the standard payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2020 of $16,489. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2021 included a market basket increase of 2.4% with no productivity adjustment. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2021 to $7,906 from $9,300 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2020.

Fiscal Year 2022. On ~~April 12,~~August 4, 2021, CMS published ~~a proposed~~the final rule ~~to update~~updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2022 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2022 ~~would be~~was set at ~~$17,273,~~$17,240, an increase from the standard payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2021 of $16,856. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2022 ~~if adopted, would include~~included a market basket increase of ~~2.4%~~2.6%, less a productivity adjustment of ~~0.2%~~0.7%. CMS ~~proposed to increase~~increased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2022 to ~~$9,192~~$9,491 from $7,906 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2021.

Medicare Reimbursement of Outpatient Rehabilitation Clinic Services

Outpatient rehabilitation providers enroll in Medicare as a rehabilitation agency, a clinic, or a public health agency. The Medicare program reimburses outpatient rehabilitation providers based on the Medicare physician fee schedule. For services provided in 2017 through 2019, a 0.5% update was applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to an adjustment beginning in 2019 under the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (“MIPS”). In 2019, CMS added physical and occupational therapists to the list of MIPS eligible clinicians. For these therapists in private practice, payments under the fee schedule are subject to adjustment in a later year based on their performance in MIPS according to established performance standards. Calendar year 2021 is the first year that payments are adjusted, based upon the therapist’s performance under MIPS in 2019. Providers in facility-based outpatient therapy settings are excluded from MIPS eligibility and therefore not subject to this payment adjustment. For services provided in 2020 through 2025, a 0.0% percent update will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to adjustments under MIPS and the alternative payment models (“APMs”). In 2026 and subsequent years, eligible professionals participating in APMs who meet certain criteria would receive annual updates of 0.75%, while all other professionals would receive annual updates of 0.25%.

~~Table of Contents~~

Each year from 2019 through 2024 eligible clinicians who receive a significant share of their revenues through an advanced APM (such as accountable care organizations or bundled payment arrangements) that involves risk of financial losses and a quality measurement component will receive a 5% bonus. The bonus payment for APM participation is intended to encourage participation and testing of new APMs and to promote the alignment of incentives across payors.

In the 2020 Medicare physician fee schedule final rule, CMS revised coding, documentation guidelines, and increased the valuation for evaluation and management (“E/M”) office visit codes, beginning in 2021. Because the Medicare physician fee schedule is budget-neutral, any revaluation of E/M services that will increase spending by more than $20 million will require a budget neutrality adjustment. To increase values for the E/M codes while maintaining budget neutrality under the fee schedule, CMS cut the values of other codes to make up the difference, beginning in 2021.

Table of Contents

In the 2021 Medicare physician fee schedule final rule, CMS increased the values for the E/M office visit codes and cuts to other specialty codes to maintain budget neutrality. As a result, therapy services provided in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics will receive an estimated 3.6% decrease in payment from Medicare in calendar year 2021. Legislation was introduced in Congress that, if enacted, would waive the budget neutrality requirement with respect to the E/M codes for 2021 in order to avoid or minimize cuts to physical and occupational therapy services and other code values. Separately, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, provides a one-time 3.75% increase in payments in calendar year 2021 for therapy services and other services paid under the physician fee schedule. This 3.75% increase will expire at the end of calendar year 2021.

In the display copy of the calendar year 2022 physician fee schedule final rule, CMS adopted its plan to transition the MIPS program to MIPS Value Pathways (“MVPs”). CMS will begin the transition to MVPs in 2023 with an initial set of MVPs in which reporting is voluntary. Beginning in 2026, multispecialty groups must form subgroups to report MVPs. CMS plans to develop more MVPs from 2024 to 2027 and is considering that MVP reporting would become mandatory in 2028. The first seven MVPs for 2023 align with the following clinical topics: (1) Rheumatology; (2) Stroke Care and Prevention; (3) Heart Disease; (4) Chronic Disease Management; (5) Emergency Medicine; (6) Lower Extremity Joint Repair; and (7) Anesthesia. Each MVP would include population health claims-based measures and require clinicians to report on the Promoting Interoperability performance category measures. In addition, MVP participants would select certain quality measures and improvement activities and then report data for such measures and activities.

Modifiers to Identify Services of Physical Therapy Assistants or Occupational Therapy Assistants

In the Medicare ~~Physician Fee Schedule~~physician fee schedule final rule for calendar year 2019, CMS established two new modifiers (CQ and CO) to identify services furnished in whole or in part by physical therapy assistants (“PTAs”) or occupational therapy assistants (“OTAs”). These modifiers were mandated by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, which requires that claims for outpatient therapy services furnished in whole or part by therapy assistants on or after January 1, 2020 include the appropriate modifier. CMS intends to use these modifiers to implement a payment differential that would reimburse services provided by PTAs and OTAs at 85% of the fee schedule rate beginning on January 1, 2022. In the final 2020 Medicare physician fee schedule rule,, CMS clarified that when the physical therapist is involved for the entire duration of the service and the PTA provides skilled therapy alongside the physical therapist,, the CQ modifier is not required. Also, when the same service (code) is furnished separately by the physical therapist and PTA, CMS will apply the de minimis standard to each 15-minute unit of codes, not on the total physical therapist and PTA time of the service, allowing the separate reporting, on two different claim lines, of the number of units to which the new modifiers apply and the number of units to which the modifiers do not apply. In the display copy of the calendar year 2022 physician fee schedule final rule, CMS implemented the final part of the requirements in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 regarding PTA and OTA services. For dates of service on and after January 1, 2022, CMS will pay for physical therapy and occupational therapy services provided by PTAs and OTAs at 85% of the otherwise applicable Part B payment amount. CMS also modified the de minimis standard for calendar year 2022. Specifically, CMS will allow a timed service to be billed without the CQ or CO modifier when a PTA or OTA participates in providing care, but the physical therapist or occupational therapist meets the Medicare billing requirements without including the PTA’s or OTA’s minutes. This occurs when the physical therapist or occupational therapist provides more minutes than the 15-minute midpoint.

IMPACT Act

In October 2014, President Obama signed into law the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (the “IMPACT Act”). The IMPACT Act made a number of changes and additions to Medicare quality reporting for LTCHs, IRFs, skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”), and home health agencies (“HHAs”). In addition, the IMPACT Act requires HHS and the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (“MedPAC”) to develop a technical prototype for a unified post-acute care (“PAC”) prospective payment system (“PPS”) that could replace the four existing payment systems for LTCHs, IRFs, SNFs, and HHAs.

The IMPACT Act directed HHS to begin requiring providers to report certain standardized patient assessment data to CMS. HHS had to adopt this reporting requirement by October 1, 2018, for LTCHs, IRFs, and SNFs, and by January 1, 2019, for HHAs. The IMPACT Act also required CMS to adopt and implement new cross-setting quality measures addressing, at a minimum, the following quality domains: (1) functional status, cognitive function, and changes in function and cognitive function; (2) skin integrity and changes in skin integrity; (3) medication reconciliation; (4) incidence of major falls; and (5) providing for the transfer of health information and treatment preferences of the patient upon transition from a hospital or critical access hospital to another setting, including a PAC provider or the individual’s home, or upon transition from a PAC provider to another setting including a different PAC provider, hospital, critical access hospital, or the individual’s home. Next, the IMPACT Act required that by October 1, 2016, for SNFs, IRFs and LTCHs, and by January 1, 2017, for HHAs, CMS specify resource use and other measures for inclusion in the applicable reporting provisions. At a minimum, the resource use measures must include the following resource use domains: (1) resource use measures, including total estimated Medicare spending per beneficiary; (2) discharge to community; and (3) measures to reflect all-condition risk-adjusted hospitalization rates of potentially preventable readmission rates. CMS began implementing the IMPACT Act’s data reporting requirements in the FY 2016 rulemakings for LTCHs, IRFs, SNFs, and HHAs.

In addition to the new reporting requirements, the IMPACT Act outlined a process for the potential development of a unified PAC PPS. The IMPACT Act does not require CMS to adopt a unified PAC PPS, nor does it provide CMS with specific authority to implement a new payment system. However, the IMPACT Act does require HHS and MedPAC to submit a series of reports to Congress with recommendations and a technical prototype for a PAC PPS. These recommendations and prototypes could become the basis of future legislation that would create a unified PAC PPS to replace some or all of the existing Medicare payment systems for LTCHs, IRFs, SNFs, and HHAs. MedPAC submitted the first report to Congress in June 2016. The report included recommended features for a unified PAC payment system. The Secretary of HHS will submit the next report to Congress with recommendations and a technical prototype. The Secretary’s report is due no later than two years after CMS has collected two years of data on the quality measures required by the IMPACT Act. After the Secretary’s report, MedPAC is to submit a second report to Congress with recommendations and a technical prototype for a new PAC payment system. The Secretary is expected to issue his report to Congress sometime in 2022. However, a bipartisan bill introduced in the House of Representatives in April 2021 would require the Secretary to first collect eight quarters of IMPACT Act data, including standardized patient assessment data, quality measure data, resource use and claims data, before submitting his report to Congress. The legislation would require that the eight quarters of data could not include any month in which the COVID-19 public health emergency, or a similar nationwide public health emergency, is ongoing. The recommendations and technical prototype in the Secretary’s report would also need to account for the role and value of each PAC provider-type during public health emergencies, including the COVID-19 public health emergency, by, for example, looking at the proportion and acuity levels of COVID-19 patients treated in each PAC setting. If enacted, the Secretary’s report would not be submitted before the later of January 1, 2024 or two years after the Secretary collects eight quarters of data.

Price Transparency

Starting January 1, 2021, new regulations went into effect requiring hospitals to provide clear and accessible pricing information online regarding the items and services they provide. First, a new regulation requires hospitals to provide a machine readable file containing the following standard charges for all items and services provided by the hospital: gross charges, discounted cash prices, payer-specific negotiated charges, and de-identified minimum and maximum negotiated charges. Second, hospitals must provide a consumer-friendly display of standard charges for at least 300 “shoppable services” that consumers can schedule in advance. If a hospital does not offer 300 “shoppable services,” then the hospital must provide the consumer-friendly display of standard charges for all of the “shoppable services” that it does provide. For each “shoppable service,” hospitals must provide: discounted cash prices, payer-specific negotiated charges, and de-identified minimum and maximum negotiated charges. For hospitals that do not comply with these requirements, CMS may issue a warning notice, request a corrective action plan, and impose a civil monetary penalty that is publicized on the CMS website. These regulations were promulgated by the Trump administration and, on July 9, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order directing HHS to support the new price transparency regulations. On July 19, 2021, CMS issued a proposed rule to increase fines for hospitals that do not comply with the price transparency regulations of at least $300 per day, not to exceed $2,007,500 per hospital per year. CMS asked for comments on alternative or additional criteria that could be used to scale a penalty, and its proposal that the machine-readable file of hospital charges is accessible to automated searches and direct downloads.

Surprise Billing

On July 13, 2021, HHS, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Labor and the Office of Personnel Management published an interim final rule with comment period to implement certain provisions of the No Surprises Act, which was enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. The interim final rule includes new regulations aimed at limiting surprise medical bills issued by health care providers to consumers. The HHS regulations adopted by this interim final rule are effective January 1, 2022 and apply to hospital emergency departments, freestanding emergency departments, health care providers and facilities, and providers of air ambulance services. The new regulations do not apply to patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, Indian Health Services, Veterans Affairs health care, or TRICARE because these programs already prohibit balance billing.

Starting January 1, 2022, the interim final rule’s new regulations will apply to patients with health insurance coverage from a group health plan (including a self-insured group health plan) or from an individual market health insurance issuer. First, if a plan provides coverage for emergency services, the interim final rule requires that emergency services must be covered: (1) without prior authorization; (2) regardless of whether the provider is an in-network provider or an in-network emergency facility; and (3) regardless of any other term or condition of the plan or coverage other than the exclusion or coordination of benefits, or a permitted affiliation or waiting period. Second, the interim final rule includes new limits on patient cost-sharing obligations for out-of-network services. Specifically, patient cost-sharing amounts for emergency services provided by out-of-network emergency facilities and out-of-network providers, and certain non-emergency services furnished by out-of-network providers at certain in-network facilities, must be calculated based on one of the following amounts: (1) an amount determined by an applicable All-Payer Model Agreement under section 1115A of the Social Security Act; (2) a specified state law if there is no such All-Payer Model Agreement; or (3) if neither of the above apply, the lesser amount of either the billed charge or the qualifying payment amount, which is generally the plan or issuer’s median contracted rate. Third, the interim final rule prohibits non-participating providers, health care facilities, and providers of air ambulance services from balance billing participants, beneficiaries, and enrollees in certain situations. Fourth, the interim final rule establishes that the total amount to be paid to an out-of-network provider or facility, including any cost-sharing, is based on: (1) an amount determined by an applicable All-Payer Model Agreement under section 1115A of the Social Security Act; (2) a specified state law if there is no such All-Payer Model Agreement; or (3) an amount agreed upon by the plan or issuer and the provider or facility if there is no such Agreement or state law. If none of these three circumstances apply, then the amount is determined by an independent dispute resolution (“IDR”) entity. Fifth, a new regulation requires providers and facilities to make publicly available and provide patients with a one-page notice regarding the requirements and prohibitions applicable to the provider or facility regarding balance billing, any applicable state balance billing prohibitions or limitations, and information on how to contact appropriate state and federal agencies if the patient believes the provider or facility has violated the requirements described in the notice. Finally, the interim final rule establishes a process for HHS to receive and resolve complaints regarding information that any health care provider, provider of air ambulance services, or health care facility may be failing to meet the requirements set forth in the interim final rule. Because these new regulations were adopted through an interim final rule with comment period, they may be modified after CMS reviews public comments. The comment period closed on September 7, 2021.

In a separate interim final rule, published on October 7, 2021, HHS, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Labor and the Office of Personnel Management adopted regulations that will govern the IDR process that will be available to providers and insurers that are unable to agree on the payment rate for out-of-network providers. These new regulations will go into effect on January 1, 2022. The new IDR process presumes that the qualifying payment amount (“QPA”) is the appropriate payment rate for an out-of-network service. Accordingly, the new IDR regulations require arbitrators to choose the offer that is closest to the QPA, unless the arbitrator determines that a party has credible information demonstrating that the QPA is “materially different” from the appropriate out-of-network rate for the item or service. The factors the arbitrator may consider to determine if the QPA is not the appropriate rate include: (1) the provider’s training, experience, and quality and outcome measurements; (2) the provider’s market share in the region; (3) patient acuity or the complexity of furnishing the item or service to the patient; (4) the provider’s teaching status, case mix, and scope of services offered; and (5) whether the provider or the plan engaged in good faith efforts to enter into a network agreement. Separate regulations in this interim final rule address a dispute resolution process for uninsured patients who receive a good faith estimate of expected charges from a provider, but are then billed an amount that substantially exceeds the estimated charges. When the provider’s billed charges are more than $400 greater than the good faith estimate, an uninsured patient may initiate a patient-provider dispute resolution process by submitting a notification to HHS within 120 days of receiving the provider’s bill. The dispute resolution entity will then examine whether the provider has credible information demonstrating that the excess charges are attributable to unforeseen circumstances that the provider could not have reasonably anticipated when the provider made the good faith estimate. The regulations for both the provider-insurer IDR process and the provider-patient dispute resolution process could be revised in response to comments submitted to the agencies’ issuance of this interim final rule. The comment period closes on December 6, 2021.

We experienced a 5.9% increase in patient days in our critical illness recovery hospitals which operated during both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The increase in patient days was due in part to strengthened referral relationships with general acute care hospitals, as our hospitals continue to demonstrate their ability to care for high acuity patients. The relaxation of certain admission restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic also contributed to the increase in volume during the three months ended March 31, 2021. We also experienced an increase of 7,213 patient days as a result of acquiring a controlling interest in one critical illness recovery hospital since March 31, 2020; we were previously a minority owner in this business.

The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were also due in part to the COVID-19 screening and testing services provided at our centers and various onsite clinics located at employer worksites, as discussed further under “Revenue.” We incur lower operating expenses associated with these services as compared to our core services. Our Concentra segment also recognized $1.6 million of other operating income during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as described further above under “Other Operating Income,” compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense was ~~$49.6~~$50.1 million for both the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 ~~compared to $51.8 million for the three months ended March 31,~~and 2020. ~~The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense occurred in our Concentra segment.~~

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, we had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of ~~$9.9~~$11.5 million, compared to ~~$2.6~~$8.8 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020. The increase in equity in earnings is principally due to the improved operating performance of our rehabilitation businesses in which we are a minority owner.

Gain on Sale of Businesses

We recognized a gain of ~~$7.2~~$5.1 million ~~related~~attributable to the sale of ~~an outpatient rehabilitation business~~businesses during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we sold Concentra’s Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic business and a rehabilitation hospital business, which resulted in gains totaling $14.1 million. We also incurred a loss of $9.0 million related to an indemnity claim associated with a previously sold business.

Interest

Interest expense was ~~$34.4~~$33.8 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$46.1~~$34.0 million for the three months ended ~~March~~September 30, 2020.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $27.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which represented an effective tax rate of 21.6%. We recorded income tax expense of $31.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which represented an effective tax rate of 23.2%. The decrease in the effective tax rate resulted from stock compensation deductions and research and development tax credits.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $23.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $27.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decline in net income attributable to non-controlling interests was principally due to a change in our ownership interest of Concentra Group Holdings Parent that occurred on December 31, 2020. Since September 30, 2020, we have acquired additional outstanding membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent. Consequently, the non-controlling interest holders of Concentra Group Holdings Parent are attributed a lesser share of the earnings of the Concentra segment.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021, Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Please refer to “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Results of Operations” above for further discussion.

Revenue

Our revenue increased 14.1% to $4,644.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $4,071.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment. Revenue increased 8.4% to $1,669.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $1,539.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in revenue was principally due to an increase in revenue per patient day during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Revenue per patient day increased 7.1% to $1,982 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $1,850 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We experienced increases in both our non-Medicare and Medicare revenue per patient day during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our critical illness recovery hospitals experienced an increase in patient acuity during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 which contributed to the increase in Medicare revenue per patient day. The temporary suspension of the 2.0% cut to Medicare payments due to sequestration, which is described further under “Regulatory Changes,” also contributed to the increase in revenue per patient day. Occupancy in our critical illness recovery hospitals was 70% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We had 838,553 patient days for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 826,410 days for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 779,078 days for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our patient days for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased 1.5% and 7.6% in comparison to the same periods in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our patient days for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were positively impacted by the acquisition of two hospitals since September 30, 2020 and the reopening of our Panama City hospital in July 2020. These hospitals contributed 27,546 patient days during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to 1,189 patient days during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Rehabilitation Hospital Segment. Revenue increased 17.5% to $632.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $538.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in revenue resulted from increases in both patient volume and revenue per patient day during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Occupancy in our rehabilitation hospitals increased to 84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 77% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our patient days increased 13.1% to 310,340 days for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 274,329 days for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We experienced an increase of 19,145 patient days as a result of acquiring controlling interests in two rehabilitation hospitals since September 30, 2020. We also experienced a 7.5% increase in patient days in our rehabilitation hospitals which operated during both the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Our patient volume during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was adversely affected within our rehabilitation hospitals in New Jersey and South Florida that temporarily restricted their admissions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain of our rehabilitation hospitals also experienced lower patient volume due to the suspension of elective surgeries at hospitals and other facilities, which consequently reduced the demand for inpatient rehabilitation services during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our revenue per patient day increased 4.7% to $1,861 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $1,777 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We experienced increases in both our Medicare and non-Medicare revenue per patient day during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The temporary suspension of the 2.0% cut to Medicare payments due to sequestration, which is described further under “Regulatory Changes,” contributed to the increase in revenue per patient day.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment. Revenue increased 21.8% to $806.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $662.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in revenue was attributable to an increase in visits, which increased 25.8% to 6,852,085 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 5,448,304 visits for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our outpatient rehabilitation clinics experienced significant declines in patient visit volume due to fewer patient referrals from physicians, a reduction in workers’ compensation injury visits due to the closure of businesses, the suspension of elective surgeries at hospitals and other facilities which resulted in less demand for outpatient rehabilitation services, and social distancing practices resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our revenue per visit was $103 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $105 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we experienced changes in our payor mix as our patient volume declined from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes caused our revenue per visit to increase. As our patient volume increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our payor mix began to normalize and is now more closely aligned with the mix experienced during the months prior to the widespread emergence of COVID-19 in the United States.

Concentra Segment. Revenue increased 19.8% to $1,321.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $1,102.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our patient visits, which increased 15.2% to 9,049,283 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 7,855,522 visits for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, contributed to the increase in revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our centers experienced significant declines in patient visit volume due to employers furloughing their workforce and temporarily ceasing or significantly reducing their operations. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we generated revenue from COVID-19 screening and testing services. These services contributed $127.2 million of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $21.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our revenue per visit increased to $125, compared to $123 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We experienced a higher revenue per visit due to increases in the reimbursement rates payable pursuant to certain state fee schedules for workers’ compensation visits, as well as increases in our employer services rates, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue per visit was offset partially by a greater percentage of employer services visits, which yield lower per visit rates. Additionally, the change in the revenue of the Concentra segment was impacted by the sale of its Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic business on September 1, 2020. This business contributed $58.3 million of revenue to the Concentra segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist principally of cost of services and general and administrative expenses. Our operating expenses were $3,991.6 million, or 85.9% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $3,566.6 million, or 87.6% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our cost of services, a major component of which is labor expense, was $3,882.6 million, or 83.6% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $3,463.8 million, or 85.1% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in our operating expenses relative to our revenue was principally attributable to the improved operating performances of our Concentra, outpatient rehabilitation, and rehabilitation hospital segments. This was driven primarily by an increase in patient volume, as described further within the “Revenue” and “Adjusted EBITDA” discussions. General and administrative expenses were $109.0 million, or 2.3% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $102.8 million, or 2.5% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Other Operating Income

Other operating income was $133.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $53.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, $115.8 million of other operating income is related to the recognition of payments received under the Provider Relief Fund for health care related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19. $82.0 million and $33.8 million of this other operating income is included within the operating results of our other activities and Concentra segment, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, $17.9 million of other operating income is related to the outcome of litigation with CMS and is included in the operating results of our critical illness recovery hospital segment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the other operating income of $53.8 million is related to the recognition of payments received under the Provider Relief Fund for health care related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19. $52.7 million and $1.1 million of other operating income is included within the operating results of our other activities and Concentra segment, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA

Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment. Adjusted EBITDA was $243.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $267.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the critical illness recovery hospital segment was 14.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 17.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were adversely affected by the incurrence of additional operating expenses as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We experienced an increase in operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our critical illness recovery hospitals have experienced increased usage of contract clinical labor during this time and the cost of this labor has risen significantly due to the demand for healthcare professionals. Additionally, our critical illness recovery hospitals have modified certain of their protocols which have resulted in increased costs, including adjusting staffing ratios and purchasing additional personal protective equipment, in order to follow the guidelines and recommendations for patient treatment and for the protection of both our patients and staff members. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for our critical illness recovery hospital segment was offset in part by the recognition of $17.9 million of other operating income related to the outcome of litigation with CMS during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as described further above under “Other Operating Income.”

Rehabilitation Hospital Segment. Adjusted EBITDA increased 31.2% to $145.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $110.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the rehabilitation hospital segment was 23.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 20.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were primarily driven by increases in patient volume and revenue per patient day in our rehabilitation hospitals which operated during both the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, as discussed further under “Revenue.” Our two newly acquired rehabilitation hospitals also contributed $7.4 million of Adjusted EBITDA during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $110.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $51.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the outpatient rehabilitation segment was 13.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 7.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were driven by increases in patient visit volume. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our outpatient rehabilitation clinics experienced significant declines in patient visit volume as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as described further above.

Concentra Segment. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $318.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $183.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Concentra segment was 24.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 16.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in patient visit volume contributed to the increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. As discussed further above, our Concentra segment experienced significant declines in patient visit volume as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were also due in part to the COVID-19 screening and testing services provided at our centers and various onsite clinics located at employer worksites, as discussed further under “Revenue.” We incur lower operating expenses associated with these services as compared to our core services. Our Concentra segment also recognized $34.0 million of other operating income during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as described further above under “Other Operating Income,” compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense was $150.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $154.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Income from Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had income from operations of $636.2 million, compared to $404.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The improved operating performance of our Concentra, outpatient rehabilitation, and rehabilitation hospital segments contributed to the increase in income from operations. We also recognized other operating income of $133.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as described further under “Other Operating Income,” compared to $53.8 million of other operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $33.2 million, compared to $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in equity in earnings is principally due to the improved operating performance of our rehabilitation businesses in which we are a minority owner.

Gain on Sale of Businesses

We recognized a gain of $12.7 million attributable to the sale of businesses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we sold an outpatient rehabilitation business, a rehabilitation hospital business, and Concentra’s Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic business. These sales resulted in gains of approximately $21.6 million. We also incurred a loss of $9.0 million related to an indemnity claim associated with a previously sold business.

Interest

Interest expense was $102.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $117.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was principally due to a decline in variable interest rates.

For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, we recognized interest income of $4.7 million. The interest income is related to the outcome of litigation with CMS. ~~Refer to Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further information.~~

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of ~~$45.1~~$138.4 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, which represented an effective tax rate of ~~24.7%~~24.2%. We recorded income tax expense of ~~$21.9~~$76.8 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020, which represented an effective tax rate of ~~23.7%~~24.1%. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the lower effective tax rate resulted primarily from the discrete tax benefits realized from the exercise of certain equity options in connection with the purchase of additional membership interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent. The impact of these tax benefits were offset, in part, by the sale of an outpatient rehabilitation business where our book basis in the business exceeded our tax basis resulting in a larger gain for tax purposes. The additional tax was treated as a discrete tax event for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was ~~$26.7~~$81.3 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$17.3~~$60.7 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020. The increase in net income attributable to non-controlling interests was principally due to an increase in the net income of our Concentra segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase resulted primarily from its improved operating performance and the recognition of $34.0 million of other operating income, as described further above, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in net income attributable to non-controlling interests also resulted from improvements in the operating performance of our less than wholly owned critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals, as well as the acquisition of three less than wholly owned hospitals since March 31, 2020. Additionally, the net income of our Concentra segment increased during the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was due to its improved operating performance and a decrease in interest expense, which is primarily due to a decline in variable interest rates.hospitals.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, Select had outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities consisting of $2,103.4 million in term loans (excluding unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs of ~~$16.5~~$14.4 million) (the “Select term loan”). Select did not have any borrowings outstanding under ~~its~~the Select revolving ~~facility (the “Select revolving facility”).~~facility. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, Select had ~~$410.6~~$594.6 million of availability under the Select revolving facility after giving effect to ~~$39.4~~$55.4 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Concentra credit facilities.

~~At March 31,~~On June 2, 2021, Concentra Inc. ~~did not have any borrowings outstanding~~terminated its obligations under ~~its revolving facility (the “Concentra-JPM revolving facility”). At March 31, 2021, Concentra Inc. had $84.0~~the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement. The Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement provided for commitments of $100.0 million ~~of availability~~ under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility, ~~after giving effect~~which was set to ~~$16.0 million of outstanding letters of credit. Select and Holdings are not obligors with respect to Concentra Inc.’s debt under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility. At~~mature on March ~~31, 2021, Concentra Inc. had outstanding borrowings under its term loan agreement with Select of $1,101.6 million.~~1, 2022.

Stock Repurchase Program. Holdings’ board of directors ~~has~~previously authorized a common stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $500.0 million worth of shares of its common stock. ~~The~~On November 2, 2021, the board of directors increased the capacity of the program from $500.0 million to $1.0 billion worth of shares and the program has been extended until December 31, ~~2021, and~~2023. The common stock repurchase program will remain in effect until then, unless further extended or earlier terminated by the board of directors. Stock repurchases under this program may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and at times and in such amounts as Holdings deems appropriate. Holdings funds this program with cash on hand and borrowings under the Select revolving facility. ~~Holdings did not repurchase shares during~~During the three months ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~September 30, 2021, Holdings repurchased 1,383,508 shares at a cost of approximately $47.5 million, or $34.34 per share, which includes transaction costs. Since the inception of the program through ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, Holdings has repurchased ~~38,580,908~~39,964,416 shares at a cost of approximately ~~$356.6~~$404.1 million, or ~~$9.24~~$10.11 per share, which includes transaction costs.

Liquidity. ~~The ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected certain segments of our operations during the three months ended March 31, 2021.~~ The duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and liquidity depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time; however, we believe our internally generated cash flows and borrowing capacity under the Select ~~and Concentra-JPM~~ revolving ~~facilities~~facility will allow us to finance our operations in both the short and long term. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$750.3~~$748.0 million and availability of ~~$410.6~~$594.6 million under the Select revolving facility after giving effect to ~~$39.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, and availability of $84.0 million under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility after giving effect to $16.0~~$55.4 million of outstanding letters of credit.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, may be funded from operating cash flows or other sources and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Use of Capital Resources. We may from time to time pursue opportunities to develop new joint venture relationships with large, regional health systems and other healthcare providers. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics and occupational health centers in local areas that we currently serve where we can benefit from existing referral relationships and brand awareness to produce incremental growth. In addition to our development activities, we may grow through opportunistic acquisitions.

Dividend

On ~~May 5,~~November 2, 2021, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.125 per share. The dividend will be payable on or about ~~June 1,~~November 29, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on ~~May 19,~~November 16, 2021.

There is no assurance that future dividends will be declared. The declaration and payment of dividends in the future are at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including, but not limited to, our financial condition, operating results, available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, the terms of our indebtedness, and other factors our board of directors may deem to be relevant.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our variable rate long-term indebtedness. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to the loans outstanding under the Select credit facilities, ~~and Concentra-JPM revolving facility,~~ which generally bear interest rates that are indexed against LIBOR.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, Select had outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities consisting of the $2,103.4 million Select term loan (excluding unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs of ~~$16.5~~$14.4 million). At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, Select did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Select ~~revolving facility.~~

~~At March 31, 2021, Concentra Inc. did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Concentra-JPM~~ revolving facility.

In order to mitigate our exposure to rising interest rates, we entered into an interest rate cap transaction to limit our 1-month LIBOR rate to 1.0% on $2.0 billion of principal outstanding under the Select term loan. The agreement isbecame effective on March 31, 2021 and applies to interest payments from and including April 30, 2021 through September 30, 2024. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the 1-month LIBOR rate was ~~0.11%~~0.08%. A 0.25% change in market interest rates would impact the interest expense on our variable rate debt by $5.3 million until 1-month LIBOR exceeds 1.0%, at which time the impact of increases in 1-month LIBOR on our interest expense will be mitigated in part by the interest rate cap, as described further in Note 9 – Interest Rate Cap of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered in this report. Based on this evaluation, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, including the accumulation and communication of disclosure to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure, are effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the relevant SEC rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the ~~first~~third quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The risk factor set forth in this report updates, and should be read together with, the risk factors discussed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2020 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Risks Related to Our ~~Capital Structure~~Business

~~Changes~~We could continue to experience significant increases to our operating costs due to labor shortages and increased employee-related costs.

The Company has experienced and may continue to experience increased operating costs due to increased labor costs. A number of factors contribute to increased labor costs, which may continue, such as constrained staffing due to a shortage of healthcare workers, increased dependence on contract clinical workers, the loss of unvaccinated employees in jurisdictions requiring vaccination, federal unemployment subsidies, including unemployment benefits offered in response to the ~~method of determining London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate, may adversely affect interest expense~~COVID-19 pandemic, and other government regulations, which include laws and regulations related to ~~our debt.~~

Amounts drawn under the Select credit facilities bear interest rates at the election of the borrower, in relation to LIBOR or an alternate base rate. On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) in the U.K. announced that all LIBOR settings will either cease to be provided or no longer be representative (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, in the case of the one-weekworkers’ health and two-month USD LIBOR terms and all sterling, euro, Swiss franc and Japanese yen settings, and (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, in the case of the one-, three-, six-, and 12-month USD LIBOR terms. It is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021, or, in the case of the one-, three-, six-, and 12-month USD LIBOR terms, after June 30, 2023. The U.S. Federal Reserve is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a newly created index called the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, calculated with a broad set of short-term repurchase agreements backed by treasury securities. The Select credit facilities contain certain provisions concerning the possibility that LIBOR may cease to exist, and that an alternative reference rate may be chosen. However, if LIBOR in fact ceases to exist, and no alternative rate is acceptable to Select or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent to the Select credit agreement, amounts drawn under the Select credit facilities would be subject to the alternate base rate, which may be a higher interest rate than LIBOR which would increase our interest expense. As a result, we may need to renegotiate the Select credit facilities and may not be able to do so with terms that are favorable to us. The overall financial market may be disruptedsafety. These labor shortages have also become more pronounced as a result of the ~~phase-out or replacement of LIBOR. Disruption~~COVID-19 pandemic. Further, increased turnover rates within our employee base can lead to decreased efficiency and increased costs, such as increased overtime to meet demand and increased wage rates to attract and retain employees. There is no guarantee that the increase in labor costs will not continue in the ~~financial market or the inability to renegotiate the credit facility with favorable terms~~future and, as a result, our profitability could ~~have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and operating results.~~decline.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

Holdings’ board of directors ~~has~~previously authorized a common stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $500.0 million worth of shares of its common stock. ~~The~~On November 2, 2021, the board of directors increased the capacity of the program ~~which~~from $500.0 million to $1.0 billion worth of shares and the program has been extended until December 31, ~~2021, will remain in effect until then unless further extended or earlier terminated by the board of directors.~~2023. Stock repurchases under this program may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and at times and in such amounts as Holdings deems appropriate.
