Change in
Functional
Independence
Measurement
(based on an 18
point assessment)
from admission to
discharge

(1) Average = Expected, Risk-adjusted

• Inpatient rehabilitation hospitals evaluate all patients at admission and upon
discharge to determine their functional status.

− The Functional Independence Measurement (“FIM”) patient assessment
instrument is used for these evaluations.

• The difference between the FIM scores at admission and upon discharge is called
the “FIM Gain.”

− The greater the FIM Gain, the greater the patient’s level of independence, the
better the patient outcome.

CMS Fiscal Year 2011 IRF Rate Setting File Analysis

Notes:

(1) All data provided was filtered and compiled from the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) Fiscal Year 2011 IRF rate setting Final Rule file found at
http://www.cms.hhs.gov/InpatientRehabFacPPS/07_DataFiles.asp#TopOfPage. The
data presented was developed entirely by CMS and is based on its definitions
which are different in form and substance from the criteria HealthSouth uses for
external reporting purposes. Because CMS does not provide its detailed
methodology, HealthSouth is not able to reconstruct the CMS projections or the
calculation.

(2) The CMS file contains data for each of the 1,171 inpatient rehabilitation facilities
used to estimate the policy updates for the FY 2011 IRF-PPS Final Rule. Most of the
data represents historical information from the CMS fiscal year 2009 period and
does not reflect the same HealthSouth hospitals in operation today. The data
presented was separated into three categories: Freestanding, Units, and
HealthSouth. HealthSouth is a subset of Freestanding and the Total.

Revenues & Expenses (2010 and 2009)

(1) Employees per occupied bed, or “EPOB,” is calculated by dividing the number of full-time equivalents, including an estimate of full-
time equivalents from the utilization of contract labor, by the number of occupied beds during each period. The number of occupied
beds is determined by multiplying the number of licensed beds by the Company’s occupancy percentage.

Exhibit 99.1

Adjusted EBITDA (1)

Exhibit 99.1

Notes:

(1) Does not include 2.0 million warrants issued in connection with a January 2004 loan repaid to Credit Suisse First
Boston. In connection with this transaction, we issued warrants to the lender to purchase two million shares of
our common stock. Each warrant has a term of ten years from the date of issuance and an exercise price of
$32.50 per share. The warrants were not assumed exercised for dilutive shares outstanding because they were
antidilutive in the periods presented.

(2) The agreement to settle our class action securities litigation received final court approval in January 2007.
These shares of common stock and warrants were issued on September 30, 2009. The 5.0 million of common
shares are now included in the outstanding shares. The warrants to purchase approx. 8.2 million shares of
common stack at a strike price of $41.40 were not assumed exercised for the dilutive shares outstanding
because they are anti-dilutive in the periods presented.

(3) The difference between the basic and diluted shares outstanding is primarily related to our convertible
perpetual preferred stock. The preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into
shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $30.50 per share, which is equal to an initial conversion
rate of approximately 32.7869 shares of common stock per share of preferred stock, subject to a specified
adjustment. On or after July 20, 2011, we may cause the shares of preferred stock to be automatically
converted into shares of our common stock at the conversion rate then in effect if the closing price of our
common stock for 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day
before the date we give the notice of forced conversion exceeds 150% of the conversion price of the
preferred stock.

Guidance

Exhibit 99.1

2011 Guidance - Adjusted EBITDA (as of March 15, 2011)

Adjusted EBITDA (1)

$440 million to $450 million

(1) Reconciliation to GAAP provided on slides 38 and 86-90.

Considerations:

ü 2010 bad debt expense was 0.9% of revenue; expect 2011 bad debt expense to
be approximately 1.5% of revenue, in line with historical average

ü Medicare pricing in Q4 2011 will be reduced by a TBD productivity adjustment,
which we estimate to be 100 basis points.

ü Outpatient revenues subject to approximately $1.4 million reduction related to
the 25% rate reduction for reimbursement of therapy expenses for multiple

therapy services (Medicare physician fee schedule for calendar year 2011CMS).

Reflects:

• 2.9% to 5.3% growth over 2010

• 7.2% to 8.4% CAGR over 2009

Exhibit 99.1

Income Tax Considerations

GAAP Considerations:

•Valuation allowance reduced at YE 2010 by approximately $825 million resulting in a
$736.6 million benefit to 2010 income tax provision.

•As of 12/31/10, the Company had a remaining valuation allowance of approximately
$113 million, primarily related to state NOLs.

Future Cash Tax Payments:

•Expects to pay approximately $6-8 million per year of income tax.

•Does not expect to pay significant federal income taxes for up to 10 years.

•HealthSouth is not currently subject to an annual use limitation (“AUL”) under Internal
Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”). A “change of ownership,” as defined by
Section 382, would subject us to an AUL, which is equal to the market capitalization of
the Company at the time of the “change of ownership” multiplied by the long-term
tax exempt rate.

Exhibit 99.1

Adjusted Free Cash Flow (1) Assumptions

(1) Reconciliation to GAAP provided on slide 39.

• Items that will affect Adjusted Free Cash Flow in 2011:

+ Cash settlements for interest rate swaps will be $33.8 million lower in 2011.

− Interest expense will be approximately $4 million per quarter higher in 2011 than 2010,
prior to any repayment/refinancing of the 10.75% senior notes.

+ Interest expense will be reduced with any repayment/refinancing of 10.75% senior notes
callable in June 2011.

– Maintenance capital expenditures are estimated to be approximately $20 million higher
in 2011 than 2010.

• 2010 working capital benefited from a shift in timing of interest payments related to the
refinancing in Q4 2010, offset by the $6.9 million unwind fee related to the termination of
the two forward-starting interest rate swaps.

HealthSouth’s GAAP income statement will be affected by a
number of items that will not affect cash flow from operating
activities or adjusted free cash flow:

•Normalized GAAP tax rate resulting from the valuation
allowance reversal in Q4 2010.

•Loss on early extinguishment of debt

Multi-Year Adjusted Free Cash Flow 12% to 17% CAGR

2011 Guidance - EPS (as of March 15, 2011)

Diluted Earnings per Share from
Continuing Operations Attributable
to HealthSouth (1)

$1.01 to $1.06

Considerations:

ü Assumes provision for income tax of 40%;
cash taxes expected to be $6-$8 million.

ü Guidance does not include any
repayment/refinancing of the 10.75%

senior notes callable in June 2011, which

would affect the following items:

• Interest expense which is currently
forecasted to be approximately $4
million per quarter higher in Q1, Q2, and
Q3 2011 vs. prior periods in 2010.

• Does not include “loss on early
extinguishment of debt” (non-cash)

• Depreciation is estimated to be higher
as a result of capital expenditures in
prior periods.

HealthSouth is transitioning EPS guidance to a
GAAP measure.

(1) Income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth

(2) Current period amounts in income tax provision; see slides 86 and 90

(3) Total income tax provision for full-year 2010, including the reversal of a substantial portion of the Company's valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

Debt Schedule and Interest Expense

(1) The annualized interest expense does not reflect any anticipated pay down of the 10.75% or the impact of the re-opening of the
7.25% and the 7.75% senior notes.

(2) On March 7, 2011, the Company closed on a public offering of $60 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.25% senior
notes due 2018 at a public offering price of 103.25% of the principal amount and $60 million in aggregate principal amount of its
7.75% senior notes due 2022 at a public offering price of 103.50%.

(3) Based on 2010 and 2009 Adjusted EBITDA of $427.4 million and $383.0 million, respectively; reconciliation to GAAP provided on
slides 38 and 86-90.

(4) Based on debt balances as of December 31, 2010 and assumes 3 month LIBOR of 0.302%.

Exhibit 99.1

(1) Based on 2008 and 2010 Adjusted EBITDA of $341.2 million and $427.4 million, respectively; reconciliation to GAAP provided on slides 38
and 86-90.

(2) Cash settlements flow through investing activities for swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Net notional amount of $884 million
receives 3-month LIBOR and pays 5.22% fixed until expiration in March of 2011.

(3) Forward-starting interest rate swaps (designated as cash flow hedges) were terminated as part of the refinancing in October of 2010.

Debt, Liquidity, and Swaps

Swaps (2)(3)

The final cash settlement on our net $884 million swaps
for $10.9 million will be made in Q1 2011.

Liquidity

Exhibit 99.1

(2) Includes $77.0 million of the net proceeds from the notes reopening. We intend to use this portion of the net proceeds to redeem a
portion of the 10.75% senior notes.

We can utilize a number of sources to repay/refinance the 10.75% notes.

Illustration of Potential Interest Expense Reduction by Funding Source

Exhibit 99.1

Use of the Revolver to Refinance the 10.75% Notes

• Liquidity should be sufficient to address:

– Short-term disruptions to the financial system

– Short-term disruptions to our business

– Unforeseen cash requirements

• Liquidity target has both objective and subjective components

– The Company’s current target is ~$250 million.

• Liquidity target subject to change based on:

– Economic developments

– Conditions in the financial markets

– Continued balance sheet deleveraging

– Regulatory change

– Growth in our business

Refinancing capacity within the revolver is limited by liquidity

considerations

Exhibit 99.1

Deleveraging: Summary

• Deleveraging the balance sheet remains a priority.

• The 10.75% notes have an initial call date of June 2011 and represent
our most attractive debt repayment/refinancing opportunity.

• We have at least three potential funding sources for reducing the
10.75% notes:

Free Cash Flow

― Benefiting in 2011 due to the expiration of the interest rate swaps

― Will also be used to fund growth opportunities

― Capital allocation based predominately on economic returns

Revolving Credit Facility

― Capacity determined by liquidity considerations

New Debt Issuances

― Interest rate arbitrage opportunity determined by prevailing debt
market conditions

Future State Vision

Design Process

May - June 2010

KPMG visited 10 hospitals (2
within each region) to assess
and document the current
state of the case
management process. Site
visits included interviews,
observation, and
documentation review.

July 2010

KPMG facilitated an
Accelerated Solutions
Design (ASD) 30-day session
with 23 HealthSouth
employees. The team laid
the framework for the
desired future state of case
management.

August - September 2010

17 of the HealthSouth
employees involved in the ASD
returned for a 3-week design
session. The team developed or
updated tools and templates
to support the future state. Their
body of work was combined to
form the HealthSouth Care
Management Playbook.

Exhibit 99.1

CPR: Comfort, Professionalism, Respect

• All employees will be trained in the CPR campaign.

• Hospital-based trained facilitators will work directly with
employees.

• A series of short videos is used to depict common scenarios of
patient/staff situations.

• Facilitator training is highly interactive, encouraging discussions
among staff.

CPR is an in-house course designed to train all employees to
realize that even minor encounters between staff and
patients can have a memorable impact on the patient’s
entire experience.

Ultimate goal is to improve employee-to
-patient interactions, leading to:

•Improved patient satisfaction scores

•Reduced patient complaints

•More satisfied employees

Clinical Information Systems in Healthcare

• Clinical information systems (CIS) are a key component of
successful quality, safety and patient satisfaction initiatives in
healthcare.

• Hospitals that implemented Computerized Physician Order
Entry (CPOE) reported better quality of care and lower
mortality rates according to a recent study. (1)

• 2008 100 Most Wired Hospitals achieved significantly better
quality indicators than other hospitals via: (2)

– Mortality rate

– Patient safety index

– Core measures index

CIS adoption is not solely responsible for these results,
AND … adoption of CIS in healthcare is very slow!

• Most U.S. hospitals are at Stage 3
(Foundation Stage) or below.

• Stages 0, 1 and 2 are slowing.

• Stage 3 is growing the fastest.

– 10% in 2005 - 50.9% in 2009

• Advanced Stages 3 through 7:

– Require only one service or unit
to be implemented

– Reduce medical errors and
improve clinical outcomes

• Stage 5 is the most difficult to achieve.

– Integration, technology and reengineering requirements

– Significant investment in capital, executive commitment and culture adoption

• Over 86% of U.S. Hospitals do NOT have CPOE (computerized physician
order entry) implemented.

EPOB

• Salaries, Wages & Benefits reflects continued improvement from
productivity gains.

• Hospital-related Expenses includes other operating, supplies,
occupancy, and bad debts expenses.

• General and Administration excludes stock-based compensation.

• Employee per Occupied Bed “EPOB” is calculated by dividing the
number of full-time equivalents, including an estimate of full-time
equivalents from the utilization of contract labor, by the number of
occupied beds during each period. The number of occupied beds
is determined by multiplying the number of licensed beds by the
Company’s occupancy percentage.

Exhibit 99.1

(3) Excludes approximately 400 full-time equivalents, who are considered part of corporate overhead with their salaries and benefits
included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Full-time equivalents
included in the above table represent HealthSouth employees who participate in or support the operations of the Company’s
hospitals.

(4) Employees per occupied bed, or “EPOB,” is calculated by dividing the number of full-time equivalents, including an estimate of full-
time equivalents from the utilization of contract labor, by the number of occupied beds during each period. The number of occupied
beds is determined by multiplying the number of licensed beds by the Company’s occupancy percentage.

Reconciliation Notes

1. Adjusted income from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP
financial measures. The Company’s leverage ratio (total consolidated debt to
Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters) is, likewise, a non-GAAP financial
measure. Management and some members of the investment community utilize
adjusted income from continuing operations as a financial measure and Adjusted
EBITDA and the leverage ratio as liquidity measures on an ongoing basis. These
measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as
an alternative to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity. In evaluating these
adjusted measures, the reader should be aware that in the future HealthSouth may
incur expenses similar to the adjustments set forth above.

2. Per share amounts for each period presented are based on basic weighted average
common shares outstanding for all amounts except adjusted income from continuing
operations per diluted share, which is based on diluted weighted average shares
outstanding. The difference in shares between the basic and diluted shares
outstanding is primarily related to our convertible perpetual preferred stock.

3. Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA
are two components of our historical guidance.

4. The Company’s credit agreement allows certain other items to be added to arrive at
Adjusted EBITDA, and there may be certain other deductions required.
