Page 7 HEALTHSOUTH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND 2000 NOTE 1 -- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HEALTHSOUTH Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries. This information should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. It is management's opinion that the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period and the comparable period presented. NOTE 2 -- The Company has a $1,750,000,000 revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America") and other participating banks (the "1998 Credit Agreement"). Interest on the 1998 Credit Agreement is paid based on LIBOR plus a predetermined margin, a base rate, or competitively bid rates from the participating banks. The Company is required to pay a fee based on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility ranging from 0.09% to 0.25%, depending on certain defined ratios. The principal amount is payable in full on June 22, 2003. The Company has provided a negative pledge on all assets under the 1998 Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2001, the effective interest rate associated with the 1998 Credit Agreement was approximately 4.19%. The Company also had a Short Term Credit Agreement with Bank of America and other participating banks (as amended, the "Short Term Credit Agreement"), providing for a $250,000,000 short term revolving credit facility. The terms of the Short Term Credit Agreement were substantially consistent with those of the 1998 Credit Agreement. Interest on the Short Term Credit Agreement was paid based on LIBOR plus a predetermined margin or a base rate. The Company was required to pay a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility ranging from 0.30% to 0.50%, depending on certain defined ratios. On October 31, 2000, the Company terminated the Short Term Credit Agreement and replaced it with a new $400,000,000 Credit Agreement (the "2000 Credit Agreement") with UBS AG and other participating banks. The 2000 Credit Agreement has been terminated by the Company. During the second quarter of 2001, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $6,475,000 related to the write-off of unamortized loan fees associated with the termination of the 2000 Credit Agreement. On March 24, 1994, the Company issued $250,000,000 principal amount of 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2001 (the "9.5% Notes"). The Company redeemed the 9.5% Notes at par on October 30, 2000. On March 20, 1998, the Company issued $500,000,000 in 3.25% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2003 (the "3.25% Convertible Debentures") in a private placement. An additional $67,750,000 principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Debentures was issued on March 31, 1998 to cover underwriters' overallotments. Interest is payable on April 1 and October 1. The 3.25% Convertible Debentures are convertible into common stock of the Company at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $36.625 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of (a) a subdivision, combination or reclassification of outstanding shares of common stock, (b) the payment of a stock dividend or stock distribution on any shares of the Company's capital stock, (c) the issuance of rights or warrants to all holders of common stock entitling them to purchase shares of common stock at less than the current market price, or (d) the payment of certain other distributions with respect to the Company's common stock. In addition, the Company may, from time to time, lower the conversion price for periods of not less than 20 days, in Page 8 its discretion. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 3.25% Convertible Debentures were used by the Company to pay down indebtedness outstanding under its then-existing credit facilities. On June 22, 1998, the Company issued $250,000,000 in 6.875% Senior Notes due 2005 and $250,000,000 in 7.0% Senior Notes due 2008 (collectively, the "Senior Notes"). Interest is payable on June 15 and December 15. The Senior Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were used by the Company to pay down indebtedness outstanding under its then-existing credit facilities. On September 25, 2000, the Company issued $350,000,000 in 10-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "10-3/4% Notes"). Interest is payable on April 1 and October 1. The 10-3/4% Notes are senior subordinated obligations of the Company and, as such, are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, and also are effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries and partnerships. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 10-3/4% Notes were used by the Company to redeem the 9.5% Notes and to pay down indebtedness outstanding under its then-existing credit facilities. The 10-3/4% Notes mature on October 1, 2008. In October 2000, the Company entered into two six-month and one twelve-month interest rate swap arrangements with notional amounts of $240,000,000, $240,000,000 and $175,000,000 each. The swaps expired or will expire on various dates in April 2001 and November 2001. These arrangements had the effect of converting a portion of the Company's variable rate debt to a fixed rate. The arrangements did not have a material effect on the Company's operations. On February 1, 2001, the Company issued $375,000,000 in 8-1/2% Senior Notes due 2008 (the "8-1/2% Notes"). Interest is payable on February 1 and August 1. The 8-1/2% Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 8-1/2% Notes were used to pay down indebtedness outstanding under the Company's credit facilities. The 8-1/2% Notes mature on February 1, 2008. On September 28, 2001, the Company issued $400,000,000 in 8-3/8% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "8-3/8% Notes"). Interest is payable on April 1 and October 1. The 8-3/8% Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 8-3/8% Notes were used to pay down indebtedness outstanding under the Company's credit facilities. The 8-3/8% Notes mature on October 1, 2011. On September 28, 2001, the Company issued $200,000,000 in 7-3/8% Senior Notes due 2006 (the "7-3/8% Notes"). Interest is payable on April 1 and October 1. The 7-3/8% Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 7-3/8% Notes were used to pay down indebtedness outstanding under the Company's credit facilities. The 7-3/8% Notes mature on October 1, 2006. Page 9 At September 30, 2001, and December 31, 2000, long-term debt consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, 2001 2000 ------------- ------------ (In thousands) Advances under a $1,750,000,000 credit agreement with banks $ 613,000 $1,655,000 3.25% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2003 567,750 567,750 6.875% Senior Notes due 2005 250,000 250,000 7.0% Senior Notes due 2008 250,000 250,000 10-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 350,000 350,000 8-1/2% Senior Notes due 2008 375,000 -- 8-3/8% Senior Notes due 2011 400,000 -- 7-3/8% Senior Notes due 2006 200,000 -- Other long-term debt 99,409 139,079 ---------- ---------- 3,105,159 3,211,829 Less amounts due within one year 24,902 43,225 ---------- ---------- $3,080,257 $3,168,604 ========== ========== NOTE 3 -- During the first nine months of 2001, the Company acquired two outpatient rehabilitation facilities, one outpatient surgery center and one outpatient diagnostic center. The total purchase price of these acquired facilities was approximately $5,031,000. The Company also entered into non-compete agreements totaling approximately $750,000 in connection with these transactions. The cost in excess of the acquired facilities' net asset value was approximately $4,935,000. The results of operations (not material individually or in the aggregate) of these acquisitions are included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. In separate transactions during the second quarter of 2001, the Company sold substantially all of its occupational medicine operations and the assets of its Richmond, Virginia medical center. The transactions yielded cash proceeds of approximately $97,767,000, which the Company used to pay down existing indebtedness. NOTE 4 -- During 1998, the Company recorded impairment and restructuring charges related to the Company's decision to close certain facilities that did not fit with the Company's strategic vision, underperforming facilities and facilities not located in target markets (the "Fourth Quarter 1998 Charge"). As of October 31, 2001, approximately 98% of the locations identified in the Fourth Quarter 1998 Charge had been closed. Page 10 Details of the impairment and restructuring charge activity through the third quarter of 2001 are as follows: Activity -------- Balance at Cash Non-Cash Balance at Description 12/31/00 Payments Impairments 09/30/01 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In thousands) Fourth Quarter 1998 Charge: Lease abandonment costs $ 21,113 $ 8,597 $ -- $ 12,516 ---------------------------------------------------- Total Fourth Quarter 1998 Charge $ 21,113 $ 8,597 $ -- $ 12,516 ==================================================== The remaining balance at September 30, 2001 is included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. NOTE 5 -- The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS 131 requires the utilization of a "management approach" to define and report the financial results of operating segments. The management approach defines operating segments along the lines used by management to assess performance and make operating and resource allocation decisions. Late in the third quarter of 1999, the Company eliminated its separate divisional management for its outpatient lines of business, and reorganized its management under the following divisions: (1) Outpatient Services - East, (2) Outpatient Services - West and (3) Inpatient and Other Clinical Services. The inpatient and other clinical services segment includes the operations of inpatient rehabilitation facilities and medical centers, as well as the operations of certain physician practices and other clinical services which are managerially aligned with inpatient services The management of outpatient rehabilitation facilities (including occupational medicine centers), outpatient surgery centers and outpatient diagnostic centers was realigned from their respective divisions to either the East or West outpatient services division. In August 2001, the outpatient services divisions were combined into a single division. The Company operates in two segments, which correspond to these divisions. Page 11 Operating results and other financial data are presented for the principal operating segments as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 2000 ----------- ----------- (In thousands) Revenues: Inpatient and other clinical services $ 519,007 $ 497,421 Outpatient services 552,035 559,136 ----------- ----------- 1,071,042 1,056,557 Unallocated corporate office 4,832 3,900 ----------- ----------- Consolidated revenues $ 1,075,874 $ 1,060,457 =========== =========== Income before income taxes and minority interests: Inpatient and other clinical services $ 108,983 $ 98,896 Outpatient services 133,317 133,475 ----------- ----------- 242,300 232,371 Unallocated corporate office (89,388) (93,183) ----------- ----------- Consolidated income before income taxes and minority interests $ 152,912 $ 139,188 =========== =========== Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 2000 ----------- ----------- (In thousands) Revenues: Inpatient and other clinical services $ 1,544,092 $ 1,445,257 Outpatient services 1,703,972 1,660,082 ----------- ----------- 3,248,064 3,105,339 Unallocated corporate office 17,260 12,776 ----------- ----------- Consolidated revenues $ 3,265,324 $ 3,118,115 =========== =========== Income before income taxes and minority interests (excluding loss on sale of assets): Inpatient and other clinical services $ 307,456 $ 287,956 Outpatient services 405,901 373,335 ----------- ----------- 713,357 661,291 Unallocated corporate office (274,125) (252,760) ----------- ----------- Consolidated income before income taxes and minority interests (excluding loss on sale of assets) 439,232 408,531 Loss on sale of assets (139,883) -- ----------- ----------- Consolidated income before income taxes and minority interests $ 299,349 $ 408,531 =========== =========== NOTE 6 -- During the first nine months of 2001, the Company granted nonqualified stock options to certain Directors, employees and others to purchase 4,159,000 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $13.875 to $15.4375 per share. NOTE 7 -- In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Statement No. 141 eliminates the use of the pooling method for business Page 12 combinations and requires that all acquisitions be accounted for under the purchase method. This statement is effective for acquisitions completed after June 30, 2001. Statement No. 142 requires the periodic testing of goodwill for impairment rather than a monthly amortization of the balance. This testing takes place in two steps: (1) the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit, and (2) the determination of the implied fair value of the goodwill. The Company will adopt this statement on January 1, 2002. Management is currently evaluating the financial impact of adopting the new policy. Page 13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL HEALTHSOUTH provides outpatient and rehabilitative healthcare services through our inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, surgery centers, diagnostic centers and medical centers. We have expanded our operations through the acquisition or opening of new facilities and satellite locations and by enhancing our existing operations. As of September 30, 2001, we had approximately 1,915 locations in 50 states, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada, including 1,435 outpatient rehabilitation locations, 122 inpatient rehabilitation facilities, four medical centers, 217 surgery centers and 137 diagnostic centers. Our revenues include net patient service revenues and other operating revenues. Net patient service revenues are reported at estimated net realizable amounts from patients, insurance companies, third-party payors (primarily Medicare and Medicaid) and others for services rendered. Revenues from third-party payors also include estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements which are subject to final review and settlement by appropriate authorities. We determine allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments based on the specific agings and payor classifications at each facility, and contractual adjustments based on historical experience and the terms of payor contracts. Net accounts receivable includes only those amounts we estimate to be collectible. In 1998, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS 131 requires an enterprise to report operating segments based upon the way its operations are managed. This approach defines operating segments along the lines used by management to assess performance and make operating and resource allocation decisions. Based on our management and reporting structure, segment information has been presented for (1) inpatient and other clinical services and (2) outpatient services. The inpatient and other clinical services segment includes the operations of our inpatient rehabilitation facilities and medical centers, as well as the operations of certain physician practices and other clinical services which are managerially aligned with our inpatient services. The outpatient services segment includes the operations of our outpatient rehabilitation facilities, outpatient surgery centers and outpatient diagnostic centers. Substantially all of our revenues are derived from private and governmental third-party payors. Our reimbursement from governmental third-party payors is based upon cost reports and other reimbursement mechanisms which require the application and interpretation of complex regulations and policies, and such reimbursement is subject to various levels of review and adjustment by fiscal intermediaries and others, which may affect the final determination of reimbursement. In addition, there are increasing pressures from many payor sources to control healthcare costs and to reduce or limit increases in reimbursement rates for medical services. There can be no assurance that payments under governmental and third-party payor programs will remain at levels comparable to present levels. In addition, there have been, and we expect that there will continue to be, a number of proposals to limit Medicare reimbursement for certain services. We cannot now predict whether any of these proposals will be adopted or, if adopted and implemented, what effect such proposals would have on us. Changes in reimbursement policies or rates by private or governmental payors could have an adverse effect on our future results of operations. In many cases, we operate more than one site within a market. In such markets, there is customarily an outpatient center or inpatient facility with associated satellite outpatient locations. For purposes of the following discussion and analysis, same store outpatient rehabilitation operations are measured on locations within markets in which similar operations existed at the end of the period and include the operations of additional outpatient rehabilitation locations opened within the same market. New store outpatient rehabilitation operations are measured on locations within new markets. Same store operations in our other business lines are measured based on specific locations. We may, from time to time, Page 14 close or consolidate similar locations in multi-site markets to obtain efficiencies and respond to changes in demand. We determine the amortization period of the cost in excess of net asset value of purchased facilities based on an evaluation of the facts and circumstances of each individual purchase transaction. The evaluation includes an analysis of historic and projected financial performance, an evaluation of the estimated useful life of the buildings and fixed assets acquired, the indefinite useful life of certificates of need and licenses acquired, the competition within local markets, lease terms where applicable, and the legal terms of partnerships where applicable. We utilize independent appraisers and rely on our own management expertise in evaluating each of the factors noted above. With respect to the carrying value of the excess of cost over net asset value of individual purchased facilities and other intangible assets, we determine on a quarterly basis whether an impairment event has occurred by considering factors such as the market value of the asset, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, adverse action by regulators, a history of operating losses or cash flow losses, or a projection of continuing losses associated with an operating entity. The carrying value of excess cost over net asset value of purchased facilities and other intangible assets will be evaluated if the facts and circumstances suggest that it has been impaired. If this evaluation indicates that the value of the asset will not be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted cash flows of the entity acquired over the remaining amortization period, our carrying value of the asset will be reduced to the estimated fair market value. Fair value is determined based on the individual facts and circumstances of the impairment event, and the available information related to it. Such information might include quoted market prices, prices for comparable assets, estimated future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks involved, and independent appraisals. For purposes of analyzing impairment, assets are generally grouped at the individual operational facility level, which is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. If we acquired the group of assets being tested as part of a purchase business combination, any goodwill that arose as part of the transaction is included as part of the asset grouping. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Statement No. 141 eliminates the use of the pooling method for business combinations and requires that all acquisitions be accounted for under the purchase method. This statement is effective for acquisitions completed after June 30, 2001. Statement No. 142 requires the periodic testing of goodwill for impairment rather than a monthly amortization of the balance. This testing takes place in two steps: (1) the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit, and (2) the determination of the implied fair value of the goodwill. We will adopt this statement on January 1, 2002. We are currently evaluating the financial impact of adopting the new policy. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 Our operations generated revenues of $1,075,874,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $15,417,000, or 1.5%, as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to increases in patient volume. Same store revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 were $1,060,358,000, an increase of $53,785,000, or 5.3%, as compared to the same period in 2000, excluding facilities in operation in 2000 but no longer in operation in 2001. New store revenues were $15,516,000. Revenues generated from patients under the Medicare and Medicaid programs respectively accounted for 30.6% and 2.6% of revenue for the third quarter of 2001, compared to 28.0% and 2.8% for the same period in 2000. Our Medicare utilization has increased due to expanded clinical programs directed towards Medicare beneficiaries. Revenues from any other single third-party payor were not significant in relation to our revenues. During the third quarter of 2001, same store outpatient visits, inpatient days, surgical cases and diagnostic cases increased (decreased) by 1.7%, (1.4)%, 4.3% and 10.8%, respectively. Revenue per outpatient visit, inpatient day, surgical case and diagnostic case for same store operations increased (decreased) by 3.0%, 2.2%, (0.8)% and (0.4)%, respectively. Operating expenses (expenses excluding corporate general and administrative expenses, provision for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, and interest expense) were $714,750,000, or 66.4% of revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to 67.1% of revenues for the third quarter of Page 15 2000. Same store operating expenses were $702,307,000, or 66.2% of comparable revenue. New store operating expenses were $12,443,000, or 80.2% of comparable revenue. The increase in new store operating expenses is primarily attributable to start-up costs of three inpatient rehabilitation facilities which opened in the third quarter of 2001. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased from $37,403,000 during the 2000 quarter to $38,958,000 during the 2001 quarter. The provision for doubtful accounts was $23,980,000, or 2.2% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2001, compared to $24,971,000, or 2.4% of revenues, for the same period in 2000. Management believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts generated by this provision is adequate to cover any uncollectible receivables. Depreciation and amortization expense was $95,790,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to $89,160,000 for the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to our investment in additional assets. Interest expense was $50,914,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to $60,261,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in effective interest rates. For the third quarter of 2001, interest income was $1,430,000, compared to $2,398,000 for the third quarter of 2000. Income before income taxes and minority interests for the third quarter of 2001 was $152,912,000, compared to income of $139,188,000 for the same period in 2000. Minority interests decreased income before income taxes by $22,127,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to decreasing income before income taxes by $21,771,000 for the third quarter of 2000. The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2001 was $51,659,000, compared to $46,380,000 for the same period in 2000. The effective tax rate was 39.5% for the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000. Net income for the third quarter of 2001 was $79,126,000, compared to net income of $71,037,000 for the third quarter of 2000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 Our operations generated revenues of $3,265,324,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $147,209,000, or 4.7%, over the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Same store revenues were $3,152,139,000, an increase of $191,680,000, or 6.5%, as compared to the same period in 2000, excluding facilities in operation in 2000 but no longer in operation in 2001 and excluding the occupational medicine operations sold in 2001. New store revenues were $59,453,000. Revenues generated from patients under the Medicare and Medicaid programs respectively accounted for 30.5% and 2.6% of revenue for the first nine months of 2001, compared to 29.1% and 2.5% for the same period in 2000. Revenues from any other single third-party payor were not significant in relation to our revenues. During the first nine months of 2001, same store outpatient visits, inpatient days, surgical cases and diagnostic cases increased by 0.5%, 2.1%, 4.3% and 8.0%, respectively. Revenue per outpatient visit, inpatient day, surgical case and diagnostic case for same store operations increased by 1.8%, 1.7%, 0.4% and 5.3%, respectively. Operating expenses (expenses excluding corporate general and administrative expenses, provision for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, interest expense and impairment charges) were $2,173,500,000, or 66.6% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to 67.6% of revenues for the first nine months of 2000. Same store operating expenses were $2,131,407,000, or 67.6% of comparable revenue. New store operating expenses were $42,093,000, or 70.8% of comparable revenue. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, was $134,489,000, compared to $201,579,000 for the same period in 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of September 30, 2001, we had working capital of $1,272,891,000, including cash and marketable securities of $193,062,000. Working capital at December 31, 2000, was $1,048,204,000, including cash and marketable securities of $180,407,000. For the first nine months of 2001, cash provided by operating activities was $408,684,000, compared to $490,932,000 for the same period in 2000. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in accounts payable and other accrued expenses. Additions to property, plant and equipment and acquisitions accounted for $287,535,000 and $5,031,000, respectively, during the first nine months of 2001. Those same investing activities accounted for Page 16 $355,702,000 and $64,874,000, respectively, in the same period in 2000. Financing activities used $108,761,000 and provided $37,166,000 during the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Net borrowing reductions (borrowing less principal reductions) for the first nine months of 2001 were $103,657,000, versus net borrowing proceeds of $102,310,000 for the first nine months of 2000. Net accounts receivable were $920,237,000 at September 30, 2001, compared to $946,965,000 at December 31, 2000. The number of days of average quarterly revenues in ending receivables at September 30, 2001, was 78.7, compared to 80.9 days of average quarterly revenues in ending receivables at December 31, 2000. The concentration of net accounts receivable from patients, third-party payors, insurance companies and others at September 30, 2001, is consistent with the related concentration of revenues for the period then ended. We have a $1,750,000,000 revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America") and other participating banks (the "1998 Credit Agreement"). Interest on the 1998 Credit Agreement is paid based on LIBOR plus a predetermined margin, a base rate, or competitively bid rates from the participating banks. We are required to pay a fee based on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility ranging from 0.09% to 0.25%, depending on certain defined ratios. The principal amount is payable in full on June 22, 2003. We have provided a negative pledge on all assets under the 1998 Credit Agreement. The effective interest rate on the average outstanding balance under the 1998 Credit Agreement was 4.39% for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to the average prime rate of 6.57% during the same period. At September 30, 2001, we had drawn $613,000,000 under the 1998 Credit Agreement. On October 31, 2000, we entered into a new $400,000,000 Credit Agreement (the "2000 Credit Agreement") with UBS AG and other participating banks, replacing our previous Short Term Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and other participating banks. Because we believe that cash flow from operations and availability under the 1998 Credit Agreement will provide us with adequate flexibility, we have terminated the 2000 Credit Agreement. On February 1, 2001, we issued $375,000,000 in 8-1/2% Senior Notes due 2008 (the "8-1/2% Notes"). Interest is payable on February 1 and August 1. The 8-1/2% Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of HEALTHSOUTH. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 8-1/2% Notes were used to pay down indebtedness under our credit facilities. The 8-1/2% Notes mature on February 1, 2008. On September 28, 2001, we issued $400,000,000 in 8-3/8% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "8-3/8% Notes"). Interest is payable on April 1 and October 1. The 8-3/8% Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of HEALTHSOUTH. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 8-3/8% Notes were used to pay down indebtedness under our credit facilities. The 8-3/8% Notes mature on October 1, 2011. On September 28, 2001, we issued $200,000,000 in 7-3/8% Senior Notes due 2006 (the "7-3/8% Notes"). Interest is payable on April 1 and October 1. The 7-3/8% Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of HEALTHSOUTH. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 7-3/8% Notes were used to pay down indebtedness under our credit facilities. The 7-3/8% Notes mature on October 1, 2006. In separate transactions during the second quarter of 2001, we sold substantially all of our occupational medicine operations and the assets of our Richmond, Virginia medical center. The transactions yielded cash proceeds of approximately $97,767,000, which we used to pay down existing indebtedness. We intend to pursue the acquisition or development of additional healthcare operations, including outpatient rehabilitation facilities, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, ambulatory surgery centers, outpatient diagnostic centers and companies engaged in the provision of other complementary services, and to expand certain of our existing facilities. While it is not possible to estimate precisely the amounts which will actually be expended in the foregoing areas, we anticipate that over the next twelve months, we will spend approximately $100,000,000 to $150,000,000 on maintenance and expansion of our existing facilities and Page 17 approximately $200,000,000 to $250,000,000 on development activities and on continued development of the Integrated Service Model. Although we are continually considering and evaluating acquisitions and opportunities for future growth, we have not entered into any agreements with respect to material future acquisitions. We believe that existing cash, cash flow from operations, and borrowings under existing credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy our estimated cash requirements for the next twelve months and for the reasonably foreseeable future. Inflation in recent years has not had a significant effect on our business, and is not expected to adversely affect us in the future unless it increases significantly. EXPOSURES TO MARKET RISK We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. The impact on earnings and value of market risk-sensitive financial instruments (principally marketable security investments and long-term debt, as well as the interest rate swaps described below) is subject to change as a result of movements in market rate and prices. We use sensitivity analysis models to evaluate these impacts. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to any instruments with leverage features. Our investment in marketable securities was $2,186,000 at September 30, 2001, which represents less than 1% of total assets at that date. These securities are generally short-term, highly liquid instruments and, accordingly, their fair value approximates cost. Earnings on investments in marketable securities are not significant to our results of operations, and therefore any changes in interest rates would have a minimal impact on future pre-tax earnings. As described below, a significant portion of our long-term indebtedness is subject to variable rates of interest, generally equal to LIBOR plus a predetermined percentage. In October 2000, we entered into three short-term interest rate swap arrangements intended to hedge our exposure to rising interest rates in the capital markets. Two of these arrangements had a notional amount of $240,000,000 and one has a notional amount of $175,000,000. These mature six months and twelve months, respectively, from the date of the original transaction. The notional amounts are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent an amount of exposure to credit loss. In each of these arrangements, we pay the counterparty a fixed rate of interest on the notional amount, and the counterparty pays us a variable rate of interest equal to the 90-day LIBOR rate. The variable rate paid to us by the counterparty on the six-month maturities and the twelve-month maturity are reset once and three times, respectively, during the term of the swaps. The two swaps with notional amounts of $240,000,000 matured in April 2001. The remaining swap has the effect of fixing the interest rates on $175,000,000 of our variable-rate debt through its maturity date in November 2001. We would be exposed to credit losses if the counterparties did not perform their obligations under the swap arrangements; however, the counterparties are major commercial banks whom we believe to be creditworthy, and we expect them to fully satisfy their obligations. At September 30, 2001, the weighted average interest rate we were obligated to pay under the remaining swap was 6.64%, and the weighted average interest rate we received was 3.65%. With respect to our interest-bearing liabilities, approximately $613,000,000 in long-term debt at September 30, 2001 is subject to variable rates of interest, while the remaining balance in long-term debt of $2,492,159,000 is subject to fixed rates of interest, prior to giving effect to the interest rate swaps described above (see Note 2 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further description). This compares to $1,655,000,000 in long-term debt subject to variable rates of interest and $1,556,829,000 in long-term debt subject to fixed rates of interest at December 31, 2000. The fair value of our total long-term debt, based on discounted cash flow analyses, approximates its carrying value at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 except for the 3.25% Convertible Debentures, 6.875% Senior Notes, 7.0% Senior Notes, 10-3/4% Notes, 8-1/2% Notes and 8-3/8% Notes. The fair value of the 3.25% Convertible Debentures was approximately $536,524,000 and $503,765,000 at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The fair value of the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2005 was approximately $245,938,000 Page 18 and $252,025,000 at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The fair value of the 7% Senior Notes due 2008 was approximately $242,813,000 and $225,125,000 at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The fair value of the 10-3/4% Notes due 2008 was approximately $377,563,000 and $366,625,000 at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The fair value of the 8-1/2% Notes due 2008 was $382,031,000 at September 30, 2001. The fair value of the 8-3/8% Notes due 2011 was $403,000,000 at September 30, 2001. Based on a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates, the potential losses in future annual pre-tax earnings would be approximately $6,130,000. The impact of such a change on the carrying value of long-term debt would not be significant. These amounts are determined considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost and long-term debt balances. These analyses do not consider the effects, if any, of the potential changes in the overall level of economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of significant magnitude, management would expect to take actions intended to further mitigate its exposure to such change. Foreign operations, and the related market risks associated with foreign currency, are currently insignificant to our results of operations and financial position. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the preceding statement, all statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning or relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, HEALTHSOUTH, through its senior management, from time to time makes forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting our best judgment based upon current information, involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are made pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There can be no assurance that other factors will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking statements or that our actual results will not differ materially from the results anticipated in such forward-looking statements. While is impossible to identify all such factors, factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by us include, but are not limited to, changes in the regulation of the healthcare industry at either or both of the federal and state levels, changes or delays in reimbursement for our services by governmental or private payors, competitive pressures in the healthcare industry and our response thereto, our ability to obtain and retain favorable arrangements with third-party payors, unanticipated delays in the implementation of our Integrated Service Model, general conditions in the economy and capital markets, and other factors which may be identified from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings and other public announcements. Page 19 PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. We were served with various lawsuits filed beginning September 30, 1998 purporting to be class actions under the federal and Alabama securities laws. These lawsuits were filed following a decline in our stock price at the end of the third quarter of 1998. Seven such suits were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. In January 1999, those suits were ordered to be consolidated under the case style In re HEALTHSOUTH Corporation Securities Litigation, Master File No. CV98-O-2634-S. On April 12, 1999, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint against HEALTHSOUTH and certain of our current and former officers and directors alleging that, during the period April 24, 1997 through September 30, 1998, the defendants misrepresented or failed to disclose certain material facts concerning our business and financial condition and the impact of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 on our operations in order to artificially inflate the price of our common stock and issued or sold shares of such stock during the purported class period, all allegedly in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Certain of the named plaintiffs in the consolidated amended complaint also purport to represent separate subclasses consisting of former stockholders of Horizon/CMS Healthcare Corporation and National Surgery Centers, Inc. who received shares of HEALTHSOUTH common stock in connection with our acquisition of those entities and assert additional claims under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the registration of securities issued in those acquisitions. Another suit, Peter J. Petrunya v. HEALTHSOUTH Corporation, et al., Civil Action No. 98-05931, was filed in the Circuit Court for Jefferson County, Alabama, alleging that during the period July 16, 1996 through September 30, 1998 the defendants misrepresented or failed to disclose certain material facts concerning the Company's business and financial condition, allegedly in violation of Sections 8-6-17 and 8-6-19 of the Alabama Securities Act. The Petrunya complaint was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff without prejudice in January 1999. Additionally, a suit styled Dennis Family Trust v. Richard M. Scrushy, et al., Civil Action No. 98-06592, has been filed in the Circuit Court for Jefferson County, Alabama, purportedly as a derivative action on behalf of HEALTHSOUTH. That suit largely replicates the allegations originally set forth in the individual complaints filed in the federal actions described in the preceding paragraph and alleges that our then-current directors, certain of our former directors and certain of our officers breached their fiduciary duties to HEALTHSOUTH and engaged in other allegedly tortious conduct. The plaintiff in that case has forborne pursuing its claim thus far pending further developments in the federal action, and the defendants have not yet been required to file a responsive pleading in the case. We filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the federal action in late June 1999. On September 13, 2000, the magistrate judge issued his report and recommendation, recommending that the court dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety, with leave to amend. The plaintiffs objected to that report, and we responded to that objection. On December 20, 2000, without oral argument, the court issued an order rejecting the magistrate judge's report and recommendation and denying our motion to dismiss. We believed that the December 20, 2000 order failed to follow the standards required under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Rule 9(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and we filed a motion asking the court to reconsider that order or to certify it for an interlocutory appeal to the United States Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral argument on that motion was held on March 2, 2001, and the court denied that motion on March 12, 2001. Accordingly, we filed our answer to the consolidated amended complaint on March 26, 2001. A hearing on the plaintiffs' motion for class certification is currently set for November 29, 2001. We believe that all claims asserted in the above suits are without merit, and expect to vigorously defend against such claims. Because such suits remain at an early stage, we cannot currently predict the outcome of any such suits or the magnitude of any potential loss if our defense is unsuccessful. Page 20 Item 2.
