quarter-over-quarter
Compliance case growth up 4.7%; increase in Case Mix
Index resulting in stronger unit pricing and a 1.9%

Strategic Repositioning
August 14, 2006: In an effort to deleverage its Balance Sheet
and reposition the Company as a “pure-play” post-acute
provider, HealthSouth announced it would seek strategic
alternatives for its Surgery and Outpatient business segments
Diagnostic business segment previously designated as “non-core”
Strategic alternatives = sale, spin, IPO, or some variation
thereof
Independent processes for each segment
Company will be disciplined in its approach to optimizing dual
objectives:
Reducing Debt
-and-
Obtaining Fair Value
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001378862-07-000005/img007.jpg)
Strategic Repositioning (cont’d)
Sale of Outpatient segment announced January 29, 2007
Purchaser: Select Medical
Sales Price: $245M
Closing: Estimated April 30, 2007
The “new” HealthSouth = Near-term focus on Inpatient
Rehabilitation Facilities (“IRFs”)
Future growth in other post-acute segments:
Long-Term Acute Care
Home Health
Hospice
In part, driven by development of integrated, post-acute payment
system (Medicare)

Development Achievements: Growth is
Occurring Ahead of Plan
Opened new 40-bed IRF in Petersburg, VA
Created joint venture/market consolidation in Tucson, AZ
Merged competitor’s 20-bed IRF with existing HLS 80-bed IRF
Broke ground on new 40-bed IRF in Fredericksburg, VA
Approved new 50-bed IRF in Phoenix, AZ
Announced acquisition/market consolidation in Wichita Falls, TX
Acquired competitor’s 48-bed IRF; will consolidate patients to HLS
63-bed IRF
Opened 18 new beds at two facilities
New 40-bed IRF in Puerto Rico
Scheduled to open by end of March for commercial patients
Bed expansion projects approved at five of our hospitals
Total of 54 beds
Four of these expansions will come on-line in the second half of 2007
with the final project scheduled to open in 2008

2007 Guidance: Focus on Inpatient Segment
Inpatient
Volume growth: 1–2%
Net Revenue growth: 2-3%
Operating Earnings
Growth: 3-4%
We will move Surgery and Diagnostic Divisions to “Discontinued
Operations/Assets Held for Sale” as soon as they qualify under FASB
Statement No. 144
Investors should focus on four metrics to evaluate ‘07 performance:
1.
Deleveraging the Balance Sheet through the successful divestiture
of our non-core Divisions
2.
Achieving Inpatient Net Operating Revenues growth of 2-3%
3.
Achieving Inpatient Operating Earnings growth of 3-4%
4.
Consummating 5-8 development projects by year end
Corporate will still have “noise”
Continuing restructuring costs (winding
down substantially by year-end)
General Ledger upgrade costs
Transition services for divested
segments
Goal: ~4.75% of Net Operating
Revenues by ’08 year-end
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001378862-07-000005/img017.jpg)
Summary
The “new” HealthSouth: new Board; new management team; new
balance sheet; and new direction.
By divesting of three divisions, the Company will be well-
positioned to become a “pure-play” post-acute provider and a
consolidator in the fragmented $126 B post-acute space.
These divestures – along with any proceeds we may receive from
tax refunds and certain derivative litigation – will significantly
strengthen the Company’s Balance Sheet through deleveraging.
The “new” HealthSouth will present a compelling investment
opportunity with EPS growth driven by organic growth,
development and de-leveraging.

(1) Adjusted
Consolidated
EBITDA is a non
-
GAAP financial measure. We believe Adjusted
Consolidated
EBITDA is
an important measure that supplements discussion and analysis of our results of operation. We believe that it is useful
to investors
as it is used in our covenant calculations under our 2006 Credit Agreement
.
Adjusted
Consolidated
EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States and should not be consider
ed as
an
alternative to net
loss
as an operating performance
measure
or to cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Because Adjusted
Consolidated
EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with general
l
y
accepted accounting principles and is
susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted
Consolidated
EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other
similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
