NOTE TO READERS

As used in this report, the terms “Encompass Health,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Encompass Health Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or indicated by context. This drafting style is suggested by the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not meant to imply that Encompass Health Corporation, the publicly traded parent company, owns or operates any specific asset, business, or property. The hospitals, operations, and businesses described in this filing are primarily owned and operated by subsidiaries of the parent company. In addition, we use the term “Encompass Health Corporation” to refer to Encompass Health Corporation alone wherever a distinction between Encompass Health Corporation and its subsidiaries is required or aids in the understanding of this filing.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains historical information, as well as forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and relate to, among other things, future events, the spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, changes to Medicare reimbursement and other healthcare laws and regulations from time to time, our business strategy, our dividend and stock repurchase strategies, our financial plans, our growth plans, our future financial performance, our projected business results, or our projected capital expenditures. In some cases, the reader can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “targets,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Any forward-looking statement is based on information current as of the date of this report and speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Actual events or results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, the factors described below could cause, and in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic has already caused, actual results to differ materially from those estimated by us.

•Each of the factors discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as uncertainties and factors, if any, discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including in the “Executive Overview—Key Challenges” section of Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our other filings from time to time with the SEC, or in materials incorporated therein by reference.

•The spin off of our home health and hospice business exposes us to a number of risks and uncertainties, including reduced business diversification; exposure to potential litigation; and inability to realize anticipated benefits from the separation, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial results or condition, or stock price.

•As a result of the spin off, we are highly concentrated in our primary line of business, particularly with respect to Medicare regulations and reimbursement.

•The spin off is likely to result in changes in our stockholder base, which may cause volatility in the price of our common stock.

•A pandemic, epidemic, or other widespread outbreak of an infectious disease or other public health crisis could decrease our patient volumes, pricing, and revenues, lead to staffing and supply shortages and associated cost increases, otherwise interrupt operations, or lead to increased litigation risk and, in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, has already done so in many instances.

•Governmental actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as limitations on elective procedures, vaccine mandates, shelter-in-place orders, new workplace regulations, facility closures and quarantines, could reduce volumes, lead to staffing shortages, increase staffing costs, and otherwise impair our ability to operate and provide care and in many instances already have done so.

•Our inability to maintain infectious disease prevention and control efforts that are required and effectively minimize the spread of COVID-19 among patients and employees could decrease our patient volumes and revenues, lead to staffing shortages or otherwise interrupt operations, or lead to increased litigation risk.

•Reductions or delays in, or suspension of, reimbursement for our services by governmental or private payors, including our inability to obtain and retain favorable arrangements with third-party payors, could decrease our revenues and adversely affect other operating results.

•Restrictive interpretations of the regulations governing the claims that are reimbursable by Medicare could decrease our revenues and adversely affect other operating results.

•New or changing Medicare quality reporting requirements could adversely affect our operating costs or Medicare reimbursement.

•Reimbursement claims are subject to various audits from time to time and such audits may lead to assertions that we have been overpaid or have submitted improper claims, and such assertions may require us to incur additional costs to respond to requests for records and defend the validity of payments and claims and may ultimately require us to refund any amounts determined to have been overpaid.

•The use by governmental agencies and contractors of statistical sampling and extrapolation may substantially expand claims of overpayment or noncompliance.

•Delays and other substantive and procedural deficiencies in the administrative appeals process associated with denied Medicare reimbursement claims, including from various Medicare audit programs, could delay or reduce our reimbursement for services previously provided, including through recoupment from other claims due to us from Medicare.

•Efforts to reduce payments to healthcare providers undertaken by third-party payors, conveners, and referral sources could adversely affect our revenues or profitability.

•Changes in our payor mix or the acuity of our patients could reduce our revenues or profitability.

•Changes in the rules and regulations of the healthcare industry at either or both of the federal and state levels, including those contemplated now and in the future as part of national healthcare reform and deficit reduction (such as the proposed Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Review Choice Demonstration, the re-basing of payment systems, the introduction of site neutral payments or case-mix weightings across post-acute settings, and other payment system reforms) could decrease revenues and increase the costs of complying with the rules and regulations.

•The ongoing evolution of the healthcare delivery system, including alternative payment models and value-based purchasing initiatives, could decrease our reimbursement rate or increase costs associated with our operations.

•Compliance with the extensive and frequently changing laws and regulations applicable to healthcare providers, including those related to data privacy and security, anti-trust, and employment practices, requires substantial time, effort and expense, and if we fail to comply, we could incur penalties and significant costs of investigating and defending asserted claims, whether meritorious or not, or be required to make significant changes to our operations.

•Our inability to maintain proper local, state and federal licensing, including compliance with the Medicare conditions of participation and provider enrollment requirements, such as the CMS vaccine mandate, could decrease our revenues.

•Incidents affecting the proper operation, availability, or security of our or our vendors’ or partners’ information systems, including the patient information stored there, could cause substantial losses and adversely affect our operations and governmental mandates to increase use of electronic records and interoperability exacerbate that risk.

•Any adverse outcome of various lawsuits, claims, and legal or regulatory proceedings, including disclosed and undisclosed qui tam suits could be difficult to predict and could adversely affect our financial results or condition or our operations, and we could experience increased costs of defending and insuring against alleged professional liability and other claims.

•Our inability to successfully complete and integrate de novo developments, acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures consistent with our growth strategy, including realization of anticipated revenues, cost savings, productivity improvements arising from the related operations and avoidance of unanticipated difficulties, costs or liabilities that could arise from acquisitions or integrations could adversely affect our financial results or condition.

•Our inability to attract and retain nurses, therapists, and other healthcare professionals in a highly competitive environment with often severe staffing shortages and potential union activity could increase staffing costs and adversely affect other financial and operating results.

•Competitive pressures in the healthcare industry, including from other providers that may be participating in integrated delivery payment arrangements in which we do not participate, and our response to those pressures could adversely affect our revenues or other financial results.

•Our inability to provide a consistently high quality of care, including as represented in metrics published by Medicare, could decrease our revenues.

•Our inability to maintain or develop relationships with patient referral sources could decrease our revenues.

•Our debt and the associated restrictive covenants could have negative consequences for our business and limit our ability to execute aspects of our business plan successfully.

•The price of our common stock could adversely affect our willingness and ability to repurchase shares.

iii

•We may be unable or unwilling to continue to declare and pay dividends on our common stock.

•General conditions in the economy and capital markets, including inflation, any disruption, instability, or uncertainty related to armed conflict or an act of terrorism, a governmental impasse over approval of the United States federal budget or an increase to the debt ceiling, an international trade war, or a sovereign debt crisis could adversely affect our financial results or condition, including access to the capital markets.

The cautionary statements referred to in this section also should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that may be issued by us or persons acting on our behalf. We undertake no duty to update these forward-looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.Basis of Presentation

Encompass Health Corporation (the “Company” or “Encompass Health”), incorporated in Delaware in 1984, including its subsidiaries, is a leading provider of post-acute healthcare services, offering both facility-based and home-based patient services in 42 states and Puerto Rico through its network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, home health agencies, and hospice agencies. We manage our operations and disclose financial information using two reportable segments: (1) inpatient rehabilitation and (2) home health and hospice. See also Note 11, Segment Reporting.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Encompass Health Corporation and Subsidiaries should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in Encompass Health’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10‑K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been omitted in these interim statements, as allowed by such SEC rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited financial statements, but it does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods shown in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements recognize all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for each interim period presented. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Separation of Home Health and Hospice Business—

On July 1, 2022, we completed the previously announced separation of our home health and hospice business through the distribution (the “Distribution”) of all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Enhabit, Inc. (“Enhabit”) to the stockholders of record of Encompass Health as of the close of business on June 24, 2022 (the “Record Date”). The Distribution was effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 1, 2022. The Distribution was structured as a pro rata distribution of one share of Enhabit common stock for every two shares of Encompass Health common stock held of record as of the Record Date. No fractional shares have been or will be distributed. A cash payment will be made in lieu of any fractional shares. As a result of the Distribution, Enhabit is now an independent public company and its common stock is listed under the symbol “EHAB” on the New York Stock Exchange.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the historical results of Encompass Health, as the Distribution did not take place until July 1, 2022. Immediately after the Distribution, we will no longer consolidate our home health and hospice business into our financial results. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, Enhabit's historical financial results for periods prior to July 1, 2022 will be reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. Prior to July 1, 2022, we operated under two reporting segments. In future filings, we expect to operate under one reporting segment. As a result of the Distribution, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not indicative of our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In connection with the Distribution, on June 30, 2022, we entered into several agreements with Enhabit that govern the relationship of the parties following the Distribution, including a Separation and Distribution Agreement, a Transition Services Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement and an Employee Matters Agreement.

2.Business Combinations

Home Health and Hospice

On January 1, 2022, we acquired a 50% equity interest from Frontier Home Health and Hospice, LLC in a joint venture with Saint Alphonsus System (“Saint Alphonsus”) which operates home health and hospice locations in Boise, Idaho. The total purchase price was $15.9 million and was funded on December 31, 2021. This acquisition was made to enhance our existing joint venture relationship with Saint Alphonsus and expand our footprint in this geographic area. This transaction was not material to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

We accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting and reported the results of operations of the acquired locations from the date of acquisition. Assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Estimated fair values were based on various valuation methodologies including: an income approach using primarily discounted cash flow techniques for the noncompete and license intangible assets; and an income approach utilizing the relief-from-royalty method for the trade name intangible asset. The aforementioned income methods utilize management’s estimates of future operating results and cash flows discounted using a weighted average cost of capital that reflects market participant assumptions. For all other assets and liabilities, the fair value was assumed to represent carrying value due to their short maturities. The excess of the fair value of the consideration conveyed over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. All goodwill recorded reflects our expectations of favorable growth opportunities in the home health and hospice markets based on positive demographic trends. At least $14.4 million of the goodwill recorded as a result of this transaction is deductible for federal income tax purposes.

The fair values recorded were based upon a preliminary valuation. Estimates and assumptions used in such valuation are subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). We expect to continue to obtain information to assist us in determining the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period.

The preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date were as follows (in millions):


Cash and cash equivalents	$	0.7
Accounts receivable, net	1.6


Operating lease right-of-use-assets	0.3
Identifiable intangible assets:
Noncompete agreement (useful life of 5 years)	0.2
Trade name (useful life of 6 months)	0.1

Licenses (useful lives of 10 years)	0.9
Internal-use software (useful life of 3 years)	0.1
Goodwill	28.7

Total assets acquired	32.6
Liabilities assumed:
Current operating lease liabilities	0.1
Accounts payable	0.1
Accrued payroll	0.2
Other current liabilities	0.2
Long-term operating lease liabilities	0.2

Total liabilities assumed	0.8
Noncontrolling interests	15.9
Net assets acquired	$	15.9

3.Variable Interest Entities

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we consolidated ten limited partnership-like entities that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and of which we are the primary beneficiary. Our ownership percentages in these entities range from 50.0% to 90.0% as of June 30, 2022. Through partnership and management agreements with or governing each of these entities, we manage all of these entities and handle all day-to-day operating decisions. Accordingly, we have the decision making power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of our VIEs and an obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. These decisions and significant activities include, but are not limited to, marketing efforts, oversight of patient admissions, medical training, nurse and therapist scheduling, provision of healthcare services, billing, collections, and creation and maintenance of medical records. The terms of the agreements governing each of our VIEs prohibit us from using the assets of each VIE to satisfy the obligations of other entities.

The carrying amounts and classifications of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities, which are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, are as follows (in millions):

On December 9, 2021, we announced the commencement of a consent solicitation of holders of our 5.75% Senior Notes due 2025, 4.50% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), 4.75% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), and 4.625% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes” and collectively the “Senior Notes”) for the adoption of certain amendments to an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) dated as of December 1, 2009, as supplemented by each Senior Notes’ respective supplemental indenture (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), which provided us with greater flexibility in effecting the spin off discussed in Note 1, Basis of Presentation. Each Indenture contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to make certain asset dispositions, investments, and distributions to holders of our capital stock. The amendments to the Indentures permit us, subject to the leverage ratio condition set forth below, to distribute to our equity holders in one or more transactions (a “Distribution”) some or all of the common stock of a subsidiary that holds substantially all of the assets of our home health and hospice business. We may make any such distribution so long as the Leverage Ratio (as defined in each Indenture) is no more than 3.5 to 1.0 on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto. The amendments also reduce the capacity under our restricted payments builder basket under each existing Indenture for the 2028 Notes, 2030 Notes, and 2031 Notes by $200 million and amends the definition of “Consolidated Net Income” to allow us to exclude from Consolidated Net Income (a component of the Leverage Ratio) any fees, expenses or charges related to any Distribution and the solicitation of consents from the holders of the Senior Notes. In December 2021 and

Encompass Health Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

January 2022, we received the requisite consents for the adoption of these amendments. Under the terms of the amendments, we agreed to pay the holders of the Senior Notes a total of $40.5 million, excluding fees. We paid $20.0 million and $20.5 million in January and June 2022, respectively.

In March 2022, we redeemed the remaining $100 million in outstanding principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) using capacity under our revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the terms of the 2023 Notes, this optional redemption was made at a price of par. As a result of this redemption, we recorded a $0.3 million Loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

In June 2022, Encompass Health entered into the Second Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, by and among Encompass Health, certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent and various other lenders, which provided a consent to the Enhabit Credit Facilities (as defined below) and related matters and modified certain terms of Encompass Health’s Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 25, 2019 (the “2019 Credit Agreement,” and, as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in the following bullet points are defined in the Credit Agreement. The amendment includes the following modifications:

•Amendment of definition of “Consolidated Net Income” to exclude from the calculation thereof, at Encompass Health’s option, net income or loss from disposed, abandoned, transferred, closed or discontinued operations until such disposition, abandonment, transfer, closure of discontinuance of operations shall have been consummated.

•Addition of Section 1.08, “SpinCo Credit Facilities Transactions,” to provide that the Loan Documents will not prevent the consummation of the SpinCo Credit Facilities Transactions and that the SpinCo Credit Facilities Transactions will not give rise to any Default or constitute a utilization of any basket under any Loan Document.

•Amendment of Section 2.11(e) to provide that a Prepayment Notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions.

•Addition of Section 5.18, “SpinCo Distribution,” to provide that within three (3) Business Days following the incurrence of indebtedness under the SpinCo Credit Facilities, Encompass will have consummated the SpinCo Distribution in compliance with the Restricted Payments covenants of the Credit Agreement, and following the consummation of the SpinCo Distribution, no obligors in respect of the SpinCo Credit Facilities will be Restricted Subsidiaries.

•Amendment of the definition of “Senior Notes” to include Encompass’ 4.625% Senior Notes due 2031 and the definition of “Consolidated Total Indebtedness” to exclude Indebtedness under any Senior Note for which an irrevocable notice of redemption has been issued in connection with or incidental to any SpinCo Distribution.

All other material terms of the existing credit agreement remain the same and are described in Note 10, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10-K. Encompass Health’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by the current and future personal property of Encompass Health and its subsidiary guarantors, which, in general, are Encompass Health’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

In connection with the spin off of Encompass Health’s home health and hospice business, Encompass’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Enhabit, Inc., entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Enhabit Credit Agreement”), in June 2022. The Enhabit Credit Agreement consists of a $400 million term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”) and a $350 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan A Facility, the “Enhabit Credit Facilities”). The Enhabit Credit Facilities mature five years from the closing date thereof. Interest on the loans under the Enhabit Credit Facilities is calculated by reference to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or an alternative base rate, plus an applicable interest rate margin. Enhabit may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Enhabit Credit Facilities at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to SOFR loans. The Term Loan A Facility contains customary mandatory prepayments, including with respect to proceeds from asset sales and from certain incurrences of indebtedness.

The Term Loan A Facility amortizes by an amount per annum equal to 5.00% of the outstanding principal amount thereon as of the closing date, payable in equal quarterly installments, with the balance being payable on the date that is five years after the closing of the Term Loan A Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility provides Enhabit with the ability to borrow and obtain letters of credit, which will be subject to a $75 million sublimit in amounts available to be drawn at any time prior to

Encompass Health Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

the date that is five years after the closing of the Revolving Credit Facility. The obligations under the Enhabit Credit Facilities will be guaranteed by Enhabit’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic material subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Borrowings under the Enhabit Credit Facilities will be secured by first priority liens on substantially all the assets of Enhabit and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The Enhabit Credit Facilities contain representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for secured financings of this type, including limitations with respect to liens, fundamental changes, indebtedness, restricted payments, investments and affiliate transactions, in each case, subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. In addition, the Enhabit Credit Facilities will obligate Enhabit to maintain a total net leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio.

On June 30, 2022, Enhabit drew the full $400 million of the Term Loan A Facility and $170 million on the Revolving Credit Facility. The net proceeds of $566.6 million were distributed to Encompass Health who used it to fully repay the $250 million outstanding balance of the Encompass Health revolving credit facility and approximately $236 million of the Encompass Health term loan. As a result of this repayment, we recorded a $1.1 million Loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

As of December 31, 2021, $82.2 million are included in Other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

There are assets and liabilities that are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, these assets may be recorded at fair value as a result of impairment charges or other adjustments made to the carrying value of the applicable assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not record any material gains or losses related to these assets.

As discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Fair Value Measurements,” to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K, the carrying value equals fair value for our financial instruments that are not included in the table below and are classified as current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values for all of our other financial instruments are presented in the following table (in millions):

Fair values for our long-term debt and financial commitments are determined using inputs, including quoted prices in nonactive markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly, or Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Fair Value Measurements,” to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K.

7.Share-Based Payments

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we issued a total of 0.6 million restricted stock awards to members of our management team and our board of directors. Of the restricted stock awards issued to members of our management team, 0.2 million contain only a service condition, while the remainder contain both a service and a performance condition. For the awards that include a performance condition, the number of shares that will ultimately be granted to employees may vary based on the Company’s performance during the applicable two year performance measurement period. Additionally, we granted 0.1 million stock options to members of our management team. The fair value of these awards and options was determined using the policies described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 14, Share-Based Payments, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K.

8.Income Taxes

Our Provision for income tax expense of $23.8 million and $55.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily resulted from the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate as well as the establishment of an uncertain tax position related to the separation of our home health and hospice business.

Our Provision for income tax expense of $39.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily resulted from the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate. Our Provision for income tax expense of $74.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily resulted from the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate offset by tax benefits resulting from share-based compensation windfalls.

10.Contingencies and Other Commitments

We operate in a highly regulated industry in which healthcare providers are routinely subject to litigation. As a result, various lawsuits, claims, and legal and regulatory proceedings have been and can be expected to be instituted or asserted against us. The resolution of any such lawsuits, claims, or legal and regulatory proceedings could materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in a given period.

Other Matters—

The False Claims Act allows private citizens, called “relators,” to institute civil proceedings on behalf of the United States alleging violations of the False Claims Act. These lawsuits, also known as “whistleblower” or “qui tam” actions, can involve significant monetary damages, fines, attorneys’ fees and the award of bounties to the relators who successfully prosecute or bring these suits to the government. Qui tam cases are sealed at the time of filing, which means knowledge of the information contained in the complaint typically is limited to the relator, the federal government, and the presiding court. The defendant in a qui tam action may remain unaware of the existence of a sealed complaint for years. While the complaint is under seal, the government reviews the merits of the case and may conduct a broad investigation and seek discovery from the defendant and other parties before deciding whether to intervene in the case and take the lead on litigating the claims. The court lifts the seal when the government makes its decision on whether to intervene. If the government decides not to intervene, the relator may elect to continue to pursue the lawsuit individually on behalf of the government. It is possible that qui tam lawsuits have been filed against us, which suits remain under seal, or that we are unaware of such filings or precluded by existing law or court order from discussing or disclosing the filing of such suits. We may be subject to liability under one or more undisclosed qui tam cases brought pursuant to the False Claims Act.

It is our obligation as a participant in Medicare and other federal healthcare programs to routinely conduct audits and reviews of the accuracy of our billing systems and other regulatory compliance matters. As a result of these reviews, we have made, and will continue to make, disclosures to the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services relating to amounts we suspect represent over-payments from these programs, whether due to inaccurate billing or otherwise. Some of these disclosures have resulted in, or may result in, Encompass Health refunding amounts to Medicare or other federal healthcare programs.

11.Segment Reporting

Our internal financial reporting and management structure is focused on the major types of services provided by Encompass Health. As of June 30, 2022, we manage our operations using two operating segments which are also our reportable segments: (1) inpatient rehabilitation and (2) home health and hospice. These reportable operating segments are consistent with information used by our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, to assess performance and allocate resources. Going forward, we expect to have one reportable segment: inpatient rehabilitation. The following is a brief description of our reportable segments as of June 30, 2022:

•Inpatient Rehabilitation - Our national network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals stretches across 35 states and Puerto Rico, with a concentration of hospitals in the eastern half of the United States and Texas. As of June 30, 2022, we operate 150 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. We are the sole owner of 95 of these hospitals. We retain 50.0% to 97.5% ownership in the remaining 55 jointly owned hospitals. In addition, we manage two inpatient rehabilitation units through management contracts. We provide specialized rehabilitative treatment on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Our inpatient rehabilitation hospitals provide a higher level of rehabilitative care to

Encompass Health Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

patients who are recovering from conditions such as stroke and other neurological disorders, cardiac and pulmonary conditions, brain and spinal cord injuries, complex orthopedic conditions, and amputations.

•Home Health and Hospice - As of June 30, 2022, we provide home health services in 251 locations and hospice services in 100 locations across 34 states with concentrations in the southern half of the United States. We are the sole owner of 336 of these locations. We retain 50.0% to 90.0% ownership in the remaining 15 jointly owned locations. Our home health services include a comprehensive range of Medicare-certified home nursing services to adult patients in need of care. These services include, among others, skilled nursing, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, medical social work, and home health aide services. Hospice care focuses on the quality of life for patients who are experiencing an advanced, life limiting illness while treating the person and symptoms of the disease, rather than the disease itself.

The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K. All revenues for our services are generated through external customers. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, “Net Operating Revenues,” for the disaggregation of our revenues. No corporate overhead is allocated to either of our reportable segments. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of our segments and allocates resources to them based on adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Segment Adjusted EBITDA”).

Selected financial information for our reportable segments is as follows (in millions):

Executive Overview

Our Business

We are a national leader in integrated healthcare services, offering both facility-based and home-based patient care through our network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, home health agencies, and hospice agencies. As of June 30, 2022, our national footprint includes 42 states and Puerto Rico. As discussed in this Item, “Segment Results of Operations,” we manage our operations in two operating segments which are also our reportable segments: (1) inpatient rehabilitation and (2) home health and hospice. For additional information about our business, see Item 1, Business, of the 2021 Form 10‑K.

The onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic (the “pandemic”) in the United States resulted in significant changes to our operating environment. For discussion of the financial and operational impacts we have experienced as a result of the pandemic, see Item 1, Business, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Results of Operations” and “Segment Results of Operations” of the 2021 Form 10-K. For discussion of the financial and operational impacts we are experiencing in 2022 as a result of the pandemic, see “Key Challenges” below and the “Results of Operations” and “Segment Results of Operations” sections of this Item.

Inpatient Rehabilitation

We are the nation’s largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in terms of patients treated, revenues, and number of hospitals. We provide specialized rehabilitative treatment on predominantly an inpatient basis. We operate hospitals in 35 states and Puerto Rico, with concentrations in the eastern half of the United States and Texas. As of June 30, 2022, we operate 150 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and manage two inpatient rehabilitation units through management contracts. Our inpatient rehabilitation segment represents approximately 80% of our Net operating revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Home Health and Hospice

Our home health business is the nation’s fourth largest provider of Medicare-certified skilled home health services in terms of revenues. Our home health services include a comprehensive range of Medicare-certified home nursing services to adult patients in need of care. Our hospice business is the nation’s twelfth largest provider of Medicare-certified hospice services in terms of revenues. Hospice care focuses on the quality of life for patients who are experiencing an advanced, life limiting illness while treating the person and symptoms of the disease, rather than the disease itself. As of June 30, 2022, we provide home health services in 251 locations and hospice services in 100 locations across 34 states, with concentrations in the southern half of the United States. Our home health and hospice segment represents approximately 20% of our Net operating revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Separation of Home Health and Hospice Business—

2022 Overview

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Net operating revenues increased 3.3% and 5.8% over the same periods of 2021 due primarily to volume growth in our inpatient rehabilitation segment. See “Results of Operations” and the “Segment Results of Operations” sections of this Item for additional volume and pricing information.

We continued our development and expansion efforts in 2022. In our inpatient rehabilitation segment we:

•began operating our new 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Shiloh, Illinois with our joint venture partner BJC HealthCare in February 2022;

•began operating our new 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in St. Augustine, Florida in March 2022;

•began operating our new 60-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Libertyville, Illinois in March 2022;

•began operating our new 50-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Lakeland, Florida in May 2022;

(1) Expected joint venture

We also continued our expansion efforts in our home health and hospice segment. In January 2022, we acquired one home health location and one hospice location in Boise, Idaho and began accepting patients at our new hospice locations in Williamsburg, Virginia (January 2022), Marble Falls, Texas (March 2022), and Temple, Texas (May 2022).

We also continued our shareholder distributions. In October 2021, February 2022, and May 2022, our board of directors declared cash dividends of $0.28 per share that were paid in January 2022, April 2022, and July 2022, respectively. On July 20, 2022, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share, payable on October 17, 2022 to stockholders of record on October 3, 2022. For additional information see the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this Item.

Business Outlook

Notwithstanding the current impacts from the pandemic, we remain optimistic regarding the intermediate and long-term prospects for our business. Demographic trends, such as population aging, should continue to increase long-term demand for the services we provide. While we treat patients of all ages, most of our patients are 65 and older, and the number of Medicare enrollees is expected to grow approximately 3% per year for the foreseeable future, reaching approximately 73 million people over the age of 65 by 2030. Even more specifically, the average age of our patients is approximately 76, and the population group ranging in ages from 75 to 79 is expected to grow at approximately 5% per year through 2026. We believe the demand for the services we provide will continue to increase as the U.S. population ages. We believe these factors align with our strengths in, and focus on, post-acute services. In addition, we believe we can address the demand for facility-based post-acute care services in markets where we currently do not have a presence by constructing or acquiring new hospitals.

We are committed to delivering high-quality, cost-effective, integrated patient care. As the nation’s largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in terms of patients treated, revenues, and number of hospitals, we believe we differentiate ourselves from our competitors based on the quality of our clinical outcomes, our cost-effectiveness, our financial strength, and our extensive application of technology.

Although the healthcare industry is currently engaged in addressing the healthcare crisis caused by the pandemic, the industry also faces the prospect of ongoing efforts to transform the healthcare system to coordinated care delivery and payment models. The nature, timing and extent of that transformation remains uncertain, as the development and implementation of new care delivery and payment systems will require significant time and resources. Our short-term goal is to serve our communities and provide the best care possible during the pandemic. Our long-term goal is to position the Company in a prudent manner to be responsive to industry shifts. We have invested in our core business and created an infrastructure that enables us to provide high-quality care on a cost-effective basis. We have been disciplined in creating a capital structure that is flexible with no significant debt maturities prior to 2024. We continue to have a strong, well-capitalized balance sheet, including a substantial portfolio of owned real estate and significant availability under our revolving credit facility. For these and other reasons, we believe we will be able to adapt to changes in reimbursement, sustain our business model, and grow through acquisition and consolidation opportunities as they arise. See also Item 1, Business, “Competitive Strengths” and “Strategy and 2022 Strategic Priorities” of the 2021 Form 10‑K.

Key Challenges

Healthcare is a highly regulated industry facing many well-publicized regulatory and reimbursement challenges. The Medicare reimbursement systems for both inpatient rehabilitation and home health have recently undergone significant changes. The future of many aspects of healthcare regulation remains uncertain. Successful healthcare providers are those able to adapt to changes in the regulatory and operating environments, build strategic relationships across the healthcare continuum, and consistently provide high-quality, cost-effective care. We believe we have the necessary capabilities—change agility, strategic relationships, quality of patient outcomes, cost effectiveness, and ability to capitalize on growth opportunities—to adapt to and succeed in a dynamic, highly regulated industry, and we have a proven track record of doing so. For a detailed discussion of the challenges we face, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Executive Overview—Key Challenges” of the 2021 Form 10‑K.

As we continue to execute our business plan, the following are some of the challenges we face.

•Operating in a Highly Regulated Industry. We are required to comply with extensive and complex laws and regulations at the federal, state, and local government levels. More specifically, because Medicare comprises a significant portion of our Net operating revenues, failure to comply with the laws and regulations governing the Medicare program and related matters, including anti-kickback and anti-fraud requirements, could materially and adversely affect us. These rules and regulations have affected, or could in the future affect, our business activities by having an impact on the reimbursement we receive for services provided or the costs of compliance, mandating new documentation standards, requiring additional licensure or certification, regulating our relationships with physicians and other referral sources, regulating the use of our properties, and limiting our ability to enter new markets or add new capacity to existing hospitals. Ensuring continuous compliance with extensive laws and regulations is an operating requirement for all healthcare providers. See Item 1, Business, “Regulation,” Item 1A, Risk Factors, and Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Executive Overview—Key Challenges,” of the 2021 Form 10‑K for detailed discussions of the most important regulations we face and our programs intended to ensure we comply with those regulations.

•Changes to Our Operating Environment Resulting from the pandemic. In response to the public health emergency associated with the pandemic, Congress and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) adopted several statutory and regulatory measures intended to provide relief to healthcare providers in order to ensure patients would continue to have adequate access to care. On March 27, 2020, former President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”), which suspended sequestration, an automatic 2% reduction of Medicare program payments for all healthcare providers, for the period of May 1 through December 31, 2020. The sequestration suspension was extended a number of times. Sequestration resumed as of April 1, 2022, but was only a 1% payment reduction through June 30, 2022. On July 1, 2022, the full 2% Medicare payment reduction resumed. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the sequestration suspension provided additional revenues in our inpatient rehabilitation segment and home health and hospice segment of approximately $24 million and $7 million, respectively. The CARES Act and CMS regulatory actions include a number of other provisions affecting our reimbursement and operations in both segments. These provisions are discussed in Item 1, Business, “Sources of Revenue,” Item 1A, Risk Factors, and Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Results of Operations” of the 2021 Form 10-K.

•Changes to Our Operating Environment Resulting from Federal Regulatory and Legislative Actions. On July 27, 2022, CMS released its notice of final rulemaking for fiscal year 2023 for inpatient rehabilitation facilities under the inpatient rehabilitation facility prospective payment system (the “2023 Final IRF Rule”). The 2023 Final IRF Rule would implement a net 3.9% market basket increase (market basket update of 4.2% reduced by a productivity adjustment of 0.3%) effective for discharges between October 1, 2022 and September 30, 2023. The 2023 Final IRF Rule also includes changes that impact our hospital-by-hospital base rate for Medicare reimbursement. Such changes include, but are not limited to, revisions to the wage index, updates to outlier payments and updates to the case-mix group relative weights and average lengths of stay values. Based on our analysis that utilizes, among other things, the acuity of our patients annualized over a twelve-month period ended June 30, 2022, our experience with outlier payments over this same time frame, and other factors, we believe the 2023 Final IRF Rule will result in a net increase to our Medicare payment rates of approximately 4.0% effective October 1, 2022.

The proposed rulemaking for fiscal year 2023 for inpatient rehabilitation facilities under the inpatient rehabilitation facility prospective payment system included a request for comment on a potential change in inpatient rehabilitation facility (“IRF”) reimbursement that could be included in future rulemaking. Based on a recent United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (“HHS-OIG”) report, CMS is considering whether to modify the IRF “transfer” payment policy to reduce reimbursement for early discharges to home health, similar to how early home health discharges are paid for under the Acute Care Prospective Payment System. HHS-OIG estimated that its recommended change to the policy could reduce total IRF industry reimbursements by approximately 6% based on 2017 and 2018 data. In the 2023 Final IRF Rule, CMS acknowledged industry comments on the policy and noted those comments would be taken under advisement for future rulemaking.

On December 14, 2020, CMS announced the proposal of a five-year review choice demonstration (“RCD”) for inpatient rehabilitation services. CMS plans to implement the demonstration in Alabama, and then expand to Pennsylvania, Texas, and California. The timing of this demonstration is not known. We operate 46 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals (representing approximately 33% of our IRF Medicare claims) in those four states. After the initial four states, CMS intends to expand the demonstration to include additional IRFs based on the Medicare Administrative Contractor to which those IRFs submit claims. Under the demonstration, participating IRFs would have an initial choice between pre-claim or post-payment review of 100% of claims submitted to demonstrate compliance with applicable Medicare coverage and clinical documentation requirements. Under the pre-claim review choice, services could begin prior to the submission of the review request and continue while the decision is being made. The pre-claim review request with required documentation must be submitted and reviewed before the final claim is submitted for payment. Under the post-payment review choice, IRFs would provide services, submit all claims for payment following their normal processes, and then submit required documentation for medical review. If 90% or more of its claims are found to be valid, the IRF may then opt out of the RCD review, except for spot reviews of samples consisting of 5% of total claims. The IRF RCD would not create new documentation requirements. A number of key details on this proposal have yet to be released, and it is not clear how or when this demonstration will be implemented.

•Maintaining Strong Volume Growth. As described in our 2021 Form 10‑K, we believe a number of conditions related to the pandemic negatively impacted volumes in 2021. While we continue to see our volumes recover, as discussed in the “Results of Operations” and “Segment Results of Operations” sections of this Item, a current or future resurgence of COVID-19 infections could cause disruptions to our volume growth.

•Recruiting and Retaining High-Quality Personnel. See Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2021 Form 10‑K for a discussion of competition for staffing, shortages of qualified personnel, and other factors that may increase our labor costs and constrain our ability to take new patients. Additionally, our operations have been affected and may in the future be affected by staffing shortages where employees must self-quarantine due to exposure to COVID-19, where employees are unavailable due to a lack of childcare or care for elderly family, or due to competition within the local market. These factors have resulted in increased labor costs and increased use of contract labor as discussed in the “Results of Operations” and “Segment Results of Operations” sections of this Item.

We remain confident in the prospects of our business based on the increasing demands for the services we provide to an aging population. This confidence is further supported by our strong financial foundation and the substantial investments we have made in our businesses. We have a proven track record of working through difficult situations, and we believe in our ability to overcome current and future challenges.

In the discussion that follows, we use “same-store” comparisons to explain the changes in certain performance metrics and line items within our financial statements. We calculate same-store comparisons based on hospitals and home health and hospice locations open throughout both the full current periods and prior periods presented. These comparisons include the financial results of market consolidation transactions in existing markets, as it is difficult to determine, with precision, the incremental impact of these transactions on our results of operations.

Net Operating Revenues

Our consolidated Net operating revenues increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 primarily from volume growth in our inpatient rehabilitation segment. See additional discussion in the “Segment Results of Operations” section of this Item.

Salaries and Benefits

Salaries and benefits increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 and as a percent of Net operating revenues primarily due to increases in contract labor and clinician compensation, including sign-on and shift bonuses, to meet higher patient volumes, and the ramp up of new stores. See additional discussion in the “Segment Results of Operations” section of this Item.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses increased in terms of dollars and as a percent of revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 primarily due to increased provider taxes and higher costs associated with travel, recruiting, and legal services. See additional discussion in the “Segment Results of Operations” section of this Item.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased in terms of dollars and as a percent of revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 primarily due to higher costs associated with the spin off of our home health and hospice business. Costs associated with the strategic alternatives review for the home health and hospice business were $22.9 million and $32.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $4.1 million and $5.0 million in the same periods of 2021. See the “Executive Overview” section of this Item for additional information on the strategic alternatives review.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 due to our capital investments. We expect Depreciation and amortization to increase going forward as a result of our recent and ongoing capital investments.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Debt Discounts and Fees

The increase in Interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 primarily resulted from the $20.5 million consent solicitation fee paid in June 2022 partially offset by the March 2022 redemption of the remaining $100 million in outstanding principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). For additional information, see Note 4, Long-term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report.

Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Tax Expense

Our pre-tax income from continuing operations decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 primarily due to the increase in Salaries and benefits as discussed above.

Provision for Income Tax Expense

Our Provision for income tax expense decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 primarily due to lower Income from continuing operations before income tax expense, partially offset by the establishment of an uncertain tax position related to the separation of our home health and hospice business.

We currently estimate our cash payments for income taxes to be approximately $70 million to $80 million, net of refunds, for 2022. These payments are expected to primarily result from federal and state income tax expenses based on estimates of taxable income for 2022.

In certain jurisdictions, we do not expect to generate sufficient income to use all of the available state net operating losses and other credits prior to their expiration. This determination is based on our evaluation of all available evidence in these jurisdictions including results of operations during the preceding three years, our forecast of future earnings, and prudent tax planning strategies. It is possible we may be required to increase or decrease our valuation allowance at some future time if our forecast of future earnings varies from actual results on a consolidated basis or in the applicable tax jurisdiction, if the timing of future tax deductions differs from our expectations, or pursuant to changes in state tax laws and rates.

See Note 8, Income Taxes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report and Note 16, Income Taxes, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

The decrease in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 resulted from the ramp up of new joint venture de novo locations and decreased profitability from certain existing joint venture hospitals.

Segment Results of Operations

Our internal financial reporting and management structure is focused on the major types of services provided by Encompass Health. As of June 30, 2022, we manage our operations using two operating segments which are also our reportable segments: (1) inpatient rehabilitation and (2) home health and hospice. For additional information regarding our business segments, including a detailed description of the services we provide, financial data for each segment, and a reconciliation of total segment Adjusted EBITDA to income from continuing operations before income tax expense, see Note 11, Segment Reporting, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report.

* Full-time equivalents included in the above table represent our employees who participate in or support the operations of our hospitals and exclude an estimate of full-time equivalents related to contract labor.

We actively manage the productive portion of our Salaries and benefits utilizing certain metrics, including employees per occupied bed, or “EPOB.” This metric is determined 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 our occupancy percentage.

Net Operating Revenues

Inpatient revenue increased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to increased volumes and favorable pricing. Discharge growth included a 1.6% increase in same-store discharges. Discharge growth from new stores during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 resulted from our joint ventures in Henry County, Georgia (October 2021), Shiloh, Illinois (February 2022), and Cape Coral, Florida (June 2022), as well as wholly owned hospitals in North Tampa, Florida (April 2021), Cumming, Georgia (June 2021), Waco, Texas (August 2021), Shreveport, Louisiana (August 2021), Greenville, South Carolina (August 2021), Pensacola, Florida (September 2021), St. Augustine, Florida (March 2022), Libertyville, Illinois (March 2022), and Lakeland Florida (May 2022). Growth in net patient revenue per discharge during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 primarily resulted from an increase in reimbursement rates offset by the partial resumption of sequestration on April 1, 2022.

Growth in revenues, discharges, and net patient revenue per discharge for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were impacted primarily by the same factors as discussed above for the second quarter of 2022. Discharge growth from new stores during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 also resulted from our joint venture in San Angelo, Texas (March 2021).

Adjusted EBITDA

The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 primarily resulted from the increase in Salaries and benefits and Other operating expenses. Salaries and benefits as a percent of Net operating revenues increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 primarily due to increases in contract labor and clinician compensation, including sign-on and shift bonuses, to meet higher patient volumes (approximately $57 million and $120 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to approximately $29 million and $50 million in the same periods of 2021), and ramp up of new stores. Other operating expenses as a percent of Net operating revenues increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 primarily due to a $2.8 million and $5.5 million increase in provider taxes, respectively, and a $4.4 million and $5.4 million increase in recruiting costs, respectively.

Home Health and Hospice

Our home health and hospice segment derived its Net operating revenues from the following payor sources:

Net Operating Revenues

Home health and hospice revenue decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to decreased volumes, the continued shift to more non-episodic patients in home health and the partial resumption of sequestration on April 1, 2022. Total starts of care decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to a reduction in episodic admissions offset by continued growth in non-episodic admissions. Revenue per episode growth during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 was driven primarily by an increase in Medicare reimbursement rates offset by the partial resumption of sequestration on April 1, 2022, the timing of completed episodes, and patient mix.

Home health and hospice revenue decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to decreased volumes, the continued shift to more non-episodic patients in home health and the partial resumption of sequestration on April 1, 2022. Total starts of care decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to a reduction in episodic admissions offset by the acquisition of Frontier on June 1, 2021 and increased non-episodic admissions. Revenue per episode growth during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 was driven primarily by an increase in Medicare reimbursement rates offset by the partial resumption of sequestration on April 1, 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA

The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 resulted from lower revenue and higher Cost of services related to higher labor costs and increased costs associated with fleet and mileage reimbursement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

The objectives of our capital structure strategy are to ensure we maintain adequate liquidity and flexibility. Pursuing and achieving those objectives allow us to support the execution of our operating and strategic plans and weather temporary disruptions in the capital markets and general business environment. Maintaining adequate liquidity is a function of our unrestricted Cash and cash equivalents and our available borrowing capacity. Maintaining flexibility in our capital structure is a function of, among other things, the amount of debt maturities in any given year, the options for debt prepayments without onerous penalties, and limiting restrictive terms and maintenance covenants in our debt agreements.

Consistent with these objectives, in March 2022, we redeemed the remaining $100 million in outstanding principal amount of the 2023 Notes using capacity under our revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the terms of the 2023 Notes, this optional redemption was made at a price of par. As a result of this redemption, we recorded a $0.3 million Loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

In June 2022, we amended our credit agreement primarily in preparation for the separation of the home health and hospice business. The modifications are described in Note 4, Long-term Debt, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report. Also in connection with the separation of Encompass Health’s home health and hospice business, Encompass Health’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Enhabit, Inc., entered into a credit agreement (the “Enhabit Credit Agreement”), in June 2022. The Enhabit Credit Agreement consists of a $400 million term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”) and a $350 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”).

We have been disciplined in creating a capital structure that is flexible with no significant debt maturities prior to 2024. We continue to have a strong, well-capitalized balance sheet, including a substantial portfolio of owned real estate, and we have significant availability under our revolving credit facility. We continue to generate strong cash flows from operations and we have significant flexibility with how we choose to invest our cash and return capital to shareholders.

For additional information, see Note 4, Long-term Debt, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, and Note 10, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K.

Current Liquidity

As of June 30, 2022, we had $186.5 million in Cash and cash equivalents (approximately $50 million remained with Enhabit upon the Distribution). This amount excludes $70.8 million in Restricted cash and $78.0 million of restricted marketable securities ($5.1 million included in Other current assets and $72.9 million included in Other long-term assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet). Our restricted assets pertain primarily to obligations associated with our captive insurance company, as well as obligations we have under agreements with joint venture partners. See Note 4, Cash and Marketable Securities, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K.

In addition to Cash and cash equivalents, as of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $967 million available to us under our revolving credit facility. Our credit agreement governs the substantial majority of our senior secured borrowing capacity and contains a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio as financial covenants. Our leverage ratio is defined in our credit agreement as the ratio of consolidated total debt (less up to $300 million of cash on hand) to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters. In calculating the leverage ratio under our credit agreement, we are permitted to use pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, the calculation of which includes historical income statement items and pro forma adjustments resulting from (1) the dispositions and repayments or incurrence of debt and (2) the investments, acquisitions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and operational changes from acquisitions to the extent such items or effects are not yet reflected in our trailing four-quarter financial statements. Our interest coverage ratio is defined in our credit agreement as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, excluding the amortization of financing fees, for the trailing four quarters. As of June 30, 2022, the maximum leverage ratio requirement per our credit agreement was 4.25x and the minimum interest coverage ratio requirement was 3.0x, and we were in compliance with these covenants. Based on Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters and the interest rate in effect under our credit agreement during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, if we had drawn on the first day and maintained the maximum amount of outstanding draws under our revolving credit facility for that entire period, we would still be in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio requirements.

On December 9, 2021, we announced the commencement of a consent solicitation of holders of our 5.75% Senior Notes due 2025, 4.50% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), 4.75% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), and 4.625% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “20231 Notes” and collectively the “Notes”) for the adoption of certain amendments to an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) dated as of December 1, 2009, as supplemented by each Notes’ respective supplemental indenture (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), which provided us with greater flexibility in effecting the spin off discussed in the “Executive Overview” section of this Item. Each Indenture contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to make certain asset dispositions, investments, and distributions to holders of our capital stock. The amendments to the Indentures permit us, subject to the leverage ratio condition set forth below, to distribute to our equity holders in one or more transactions (a “Distribution”) some or all of the common stock of a subsidiary that holds substantially all of the assets of our home health and hospice business. We may make any such distribution so long as the Leverage Ratio (as defined in each Indenture) is no more than 3.5 to 1.0 on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto. The amendments also reduce the capacity under our restricted payments builder basket under each existing Indenture for the 2028 Notes, 2030 Notes, and 2031 Notes by $200 million and amends the definition of “Consolidated Net Income” to allow us to exclude from Consolidated Net Income (a component of the Leverage Ratio) any fees, expenses or charges related to any Distribution and the solicitation of consents from the holders of the Notes. In December 2021 and January 2022, we received the requisite consents for the adoption of these amendments. Under the terms of the amendments, we agreed to pay the holders of the Notes a total of $40.5 million, excluding fees. We paid $20.0 million and $20.5 million in January and June 2022, respectively.

We do not face near-term refinancing risk, as the amounts outstanding under our credit agreement do not mature until 2024, and our bonds all mature in 2025 and beyond. See the “Contractual Obligations” section below for information related to our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2022.

For a discussion of risks and uncertainties facing us see Item 1A, Risk Factors, under Part II, Other Information, of this report and Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2021 Form 10‑K.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table shows the cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing, and financing activities (in millions):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	463.5	$	414.4
Net cash used in investing activities	(246.3)		(321.6)
Net cash used in financing activities	(80.2)		(263.9)
Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	137.0	$	(171.1)

Operating activities. The increase in Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 primarily resulted from improved collection of accounts receivable.

Investing activities. The decrease in Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 primarily resulted from the acquisition of Frontier in June 2021. For additional information on the Frontier acquisition, see Note 2, Business Combinations, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K.

Financing activities. The decrease in Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 primarily resulted from lower net debt payments in 2022. For additional information on debt borrowings and payments, see Note 4, Long-term Debt, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report.

Contractual Obligations

Our consolidated contractual obligations as of June 30, 2022 are as follows (in millions):


	Total		Current		Long-term
Long-term debt obligations:
Long-term debt, excluding revolving credit facility and finance lease obligations (a)	$	2,735.5	$	25.4	$	2,710.1
Revolving credit facility	170.0		—		170.0
Interest on long-term debt (b)	828.3		138.5		689.8
Finance lease obligations (c)	582.0		52.0		530.0
Operating lease obligations (d)	322.8		36.7		286.1
Purchase obligations (e)	100.3		37.1		63.2
Total	$	4,738.9	$	289.7	$	4,449.2

(a) Included in long-term debt are amounts owed on our bonds payable and other notes payable. These borrowings are further explained in Note 4, Long-term Debt, accompanying the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, and Note 10, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K.

(b) Interest on our fixed rate debt is presented using the stated interest rate. Interest expense on our variable rate debt is estimated using the rate in effect as of June 30, 2022. Interest pertaining to our credit agreement, the Enhabit Credit Agreement, and bonds is included to their respective ultimate maturity dates. Interest related to finance lease obligations is excluded from this line. Amounts exclude amortization of debt discounts, amortization of loan fees, or fees for lines of credit that would be included in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

(d) Our inpatient rehabilitation segment leases approximately 9% of its hospitals as well as other property and equipment under operating leases in the normal course of business. Our home health and hospice segment leases relatively small office spaces in the localities it serves, space for its corporate office, and other equipment under operating leases in the normal course of business. Amounts include interest portion of future minimum operating lease payments. For more information, see Note 7, Leases, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K.

(e) Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on Encompass Health and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty. Our purchase obligations primarily relate to software licensing and support and medical equipment. Purchase obligations are not recognized in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Our capital expenditures include costs associated with our hospital renovation program, de novo projects, capacity expansions, technology initiatives, and building and equipment upgrades and purchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we made capital expenditures of approximately $240 million for property and equipment, capitalized software, and other intangible assets. During 2022, we expect to spend approximately $570 million to $650 million for capital expenditures using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Approximately $200 million to $240 million of this budgeted amount is considered nondiscretionary expenditures, which we may refer to in other filings as “maintenance” expenditures. Actual amounts spent will be dependent upon the timing of development projects.

Authorizations for Returning Capital to Stakeholders

In October 2021, February 2022, and May 2022, our board of directors declared cash dividends of $0.28 per share that were paid in January 2022, April 2022, and July 2022 respectively. On July 20, 2022, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share, payable on October 17, 2022 to stockholders of record on October 3, 2022. We expect quarterly dividends to be paid in January, April, July, and October. However, the actual declaration of any future cash dividends, and the setting of record and payment dates as well as the per share amounts, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after consideration of various factors, including our capital position and alternative uses of funds. Cash dividends are expected to be funded using cash flows from operations, cash on hand, and availability under our revolving credit facility.

On July 24, 2018, our board approved resetting the aggregate common stock repurchase authorization to $250 million. As of June 30, 2022, approximately $198 million remained under this authorization. The repurchase authorization does not require the repurchase of a specific number of shares, has an indefinite term, and is subject to termination at any time by our board of directors. Subject to certain terms and conditions, including a maximum price per share and compliance with federal and state securities and other laws, the repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or other transactions, including trades under a plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For additional information, see Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, of this report.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

Our indebtedness under our credit agreement and the Notes are guaranteed by certain consolidated subsidiaries. These guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, subject to certain customary conditions for release. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by all of our existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee borrowings under our credit agreement and other capital markets debt. The other subsidiaries of Encompass Health do not guarantee the Notes (such subsidiaries are referred to as the “non-guarantor subsidiaries”).

The terms of our credit agreement allow us to declare and pay cash dividends on our common stock so long as: (1) we are not in default under our credit agreement, and (2) either (a) our senior secured leverage ratio (as defined in our credit agreement) remains less than or equal to 2x and our leverage ratio (as defined in our credit agreement) remains less than or equal to 4.50x or (b) there is capacity under the Available Amount as defined in the credit agreement. The terms of our Notes indenture allow us to declare and pay cash dividends on our common stock so long as (1) we are not in default, (2) the consolidated coverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) exceeds 2x or we are otherwise allowed under the indenture to incur debt, and (3) we have capacity under the indenture’s restricted payments covenant to declare and pay dividends. See Note 4, Long-term Debt, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, and Note 10, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K.

Summarized financial information is presented below for Encompass Health, the parent company, and the subsidiary guarantors on a combined basis after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances among Encompass Health and the subsidiary guarantors and does not include investments in and equity in the earnings of non-guarantor subsidiaries. Amounts for prior periods have been revised to reflect the status of guarantors and non-guarantors as of June 30, 2022. The subsidiaries associated with our home health and hospice business (collectively, the “HH&H Subsidiaries”) were guarantors as of June 30, 2022. On July 1, 2022, we completed the previously announced separation of our home health and hospice business through the distribution (the “Distribution”) of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Enhabit, Inc. to Encompass Health stockholders. The Distribution was effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 1, 2022, at which time the HH&H Subsidiaries were released from their guarantees of our indebtedness.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our credit agreement is a measure of our ability to service our debt and our ability to make capital expenditures. We reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to Net income and to Net cash provided by operating activities.

We use Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis as a liquidity measure. We believe this financial measure on a consolidated basis is important in analyzing our liquidity because it is the key component of certain material covenants contained within our credit agreement, which is discussed in more detail in Note 10, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K. These covenants are material terms of the credit agreement.

Noncompliance with these financial covenants under our credit agreement—our interest coverage ratio and our leverage ratio—could result in our lenders requiring us to immediately repay all amounts borrowed. If we anticipated a potential covenant violation, we would seek relief from our lenders, which would have some cost to us, and such relief might be on terms less favorable to us than those in our existing credit agreement. In addition, if we cannot satisfy these financial covenants, we would be prohibited under our credit agreement from engaging in certain activities, such as incurring additional indebtedness, paying common stock dividends, making certain payments, and acquiring and disposing of assets. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA is critical to our assessment of our liquidity.

In general terms, the credit agreement definition of Adjusted EBITDA, therein referred to as “Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA,” allows us to add back to consolidated Net income interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization and then add back to consolidated Net income (1) all unusual or nonrecurring items reducing consolidated Net income (of which only up to $10 million in a year may be cash expenditures), (2) any losses from discontinued operations, (3) non-ordinary course fees, costs and expenses incurred with respect to any litigation or settlement, (4) share-based compensation expense, (5) costs and expenses associated with changes in the fair value of marketable securities, (6) costs and expenses associated with the issuance or prepayment debt and acquisitions, and (7) any restructuring charges not in excess of 20% of Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA. We also subtract from consolidated Net income all unusual or nonrecurring items to the extent they increase consolidated Net income.

Under the credit agreement, the Adjusted EBITDA calculation does not require us to deduct net income attributable to noncontrolling interests or gains on fair value adjustments of hedging and equity instruments, disposal of assets, and development activities. It also does not allow us to add back losses on fair value adjustments of hedging instruments or unusual or nonrecurring cash expenditures in excess of $10 million. These items and amounts, in addition to the items falling within the credit agreement’s “unusual or nonrecurring” classification, may occur in future periods, but can vary significantly from period to period and may not directly relate to, or be indicative of, our ongoing liquidity or operating performance. Accordingly, the Adjusted EBITDA calculation presented here includes adjustments for them.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for Net income or cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Revenues and expenses are measured in accordance with the policies and procedures described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2021 Form 10‑K.

Our Adjusted EBITDA was as follows (in millions):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1, Basis of Presentation, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our primary exposure to market risk is to changes in interest rates on our variable rate long-term debt. We use sensitivity analysis models to evaluate the impact of interest rate changes on our variable rate debt. As of June 30, 2022, our primary variable rate debt outstanding related to Enhabit Inc.’s $170.0 million in advances under its revolving credit facility and $397.7 million under its term loan A facility. Assuming outstanding balances were to remain the same, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in an incremental negative cash flow of approximately $3.0 million over the next 12 months, while a 1% decrease in interest rates would result in an incremental positive cash flow of approximately $3.0 million over the next 12 months.

See also Note 4, Long-term Debt, and Note 6, Fair Value Measurements, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, for additional information regarding our long-term debt.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our Internal Control over Financial Reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have a material effect on our Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

We provide services in the highly regulated healthcare industry. In the ordinary course of our business, we are a party to various legal actions, proceedings, and claims as well as regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations. These matters could potentially subject us to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines, and other penalties. Some of these matters have been material to us in the past, and others in the future may, either individually or in the aggregate, be material and adverse to our business, financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

Additionally, the False Claims Act (the “FCA”) allows private citizens, called “relators,” to institute civil proceedings on behalf of the United States alleging violations of the FCA. These lawsuits, also known as “qui tam” actions, are common in the healthcare industry and can involve significant monetary damages, fines, attorneys’ fees and the award of bounties to the relators who successfully prosecute or bring these suits to the government. It is possible that qui tam lawsuits have been filed against us, which suits remain under seal, or that we are unaware of such filings or prevented by existing law or court order from discussing or disclosing the filing of such suits. Therefore, from time to time, we may be party to one or more undisclosed qui tam cases brought pursuant to the FCA.

On October 26, 2021, we filed suit in the district court of Dallas County, Texas against April K. Anthony, a former executive officer in our home health and hospice segment (“HH&H”), for breach of her contractual noncompete, nonsolicitation, and nondisclosure obligations to us and for trade secret misappropriation. Ms. Anthony’s senior management agreement, dated October 7, 2019, provided, among other things, that she shall not (i) directly or indirectly engage in the provision of home health or hospice services in any state in which we are operating for a period one year following her departure, (ii) directly or indirectly induce or attempt to induce any of our employees to leave our employ or in any way interfere with the relationship between us and any employee for a period of two years following her departure, or (iii) disclose to any unauthorized person or directly or indirectly use for her own account any information, observations and data concerning our business and affairs. Ms. Anthony resigned from her position with HH&H on June 18, 2021. In September 2021, we learned of evidence that Ms. Anthony during her tenure with us had engaged in, and was continuing to engage in, solicitation of certain HH&H employees to join a competing home health and hospice venture. In this suit, we sought injunctions from the court ordering Ms. Anthony to comply with her senior management agreement, including its noncompete, nonsolicitation, and nondisclosure covenants, and to cease and desist all activities in furtherance of violations of those covenants. On June 17, 2022, the court ruled in our favor that Ms. Anthony breached her noncompete and nonsolicitation obligations to us and ordered her to comply with those obligations for the respective remaining terms. In its Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the court found that, among other things, Ms. Anthony committed deliberate violations of her noncompete and nonsolicitation obligations by running a direct competitor during and after her employment with us, undertook extensive and elaborate attempts to conceal her violations, and acted in concert with the private equity firms Nautic Partners LLC and The Vistria Group LP, one of which referred to Ms. Anthony as “Voldemort” in a business presentation, to launch a competing venture under the name Homecare Holdings, which the court found Ms. Anthony ran “from the shadows,” and to conceal her violations. The court also found that Ms. Anthony and her private equity partners declined to participate in the “rigorous process” established by our board of directors to consider all potential acquisition interest for HH&H. We are currently evaluating further legal recourse and remedies available to us in light of the court’s favorable rulings.

Information relating to certain legal proceedings in which we are involved is included in Note 10, Contingencies and Other Commitments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report and should be read in conjunction with the related disclosure previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10‑K”).

Item 1A.Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2021 Form 10-K, except that business risks specifically and solely associated with the home health and hospice business, not including the risks of the spin off transaction itself, are no longer applicable to us following the spin off our home health and hospice business, Enhabit, Inc., as an independent, publicly traded company on July 1, 2022. However, certain information in those risk factors has been updated by the discussion in the “Executive Overview—Key Challenges” section of Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this report, which section is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table summarizes our repurchases of equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2022:

Total	2,442	67.62		—

(1)Except as noted in the following sentence, the number of shares reported in this column represents the shares tendered by employees as payments of the tax liabilities incident to the vesting of previously awarded shares of restricted stock and the exercise price and tax liability incident to the net settlement of an option exercise. In April, 1,047 shares were purchased pursuant to our Directors’ Deferred Stock Investment Plan. This plan is a nonqualified deferral plan allowing non-employee directors to make advance elections to defer a fixed percentage of their director fees. The plan administrator acquires the shares in the open market which are then held in a rabbi trust. The plan also provides that dividends paid on the shares held for the accounts of the directors will be reinvested in shares of our common stock which will also be held in the trust. The directors’ rights to all shares in the trust are nonforfeitable, but the shares are only released to the directors after departure from our board.

(2) On October 28, 2013, we announced our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our common stock. On February 14, 2014, our board approved an increase in this common stock repurchase authorization from $200 million to $250 million. On July 24, 2018, our board approved resetting the aggregate common stock repurchase authorization to $250 million. The repurchase authorization does not require the repurchase of a specific number of shares, has an indefinite term, and is subject to termination at any time by our board of directors. Subject to certain terms and conditions, including a maximum price per share and compliance with federal and state securities and other laws, the repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or other transactions, including trades under a plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
