SELECT MEDICAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Select Medical Holdings Corporation (“Holdings”) include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, Select Medical Corporation (“Select”). Holdings conducts substantially all of its business through Select and its subsidiaries. Holdings and Select and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.” The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2020, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by GAAP, which are normally included in the notes to consolidated financial statements, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flow for such periods. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2020.
2. Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including disclosure of contingencies, at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which replaced the incurred loss approach for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments with an expected loss approach. The expected loss approach is subject to management judgments using assessments of incurred credit losses, assessments of current conditions, and forecasts using reasonable and supportable assumptions. The standard was required to be applied using the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, if any, upon adoption.
The Company’s primary financial instrument subject to the standard is its accounts receivable derived from contracts with patients. Historically, the Company has experienced infrequent, immaterial credit losses related to its accounts receivable and, based on its experience, believes the risk of material defaults is low. The Company experienced credit losses of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, credit loss recoveries of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, and credit losses of $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company’s historical credit losses have been infrequent and immaterial largely because the Company’s accounts receivable are typically paid for by highly-solvent, creditworthy payors such as Medicare, other governmental programs, and highly-regulated commercial insurers, on behalf of the patient. The Company believes it has moderate credit risk related to defaults on self-pay amounts in accounts receivable; however, these amounts represented less than 1.0% of the Company’s accounts receivable at January 1, 2020.
In estimating the Company’s expected credit losses under Topic 326, the Company considers its incurred loss experience and adjusts for known and expected events and other circumstances, identified using periodic assessments implemented by the Company, which management believes are relevant in assessing the collectability of its accounts receivable. Because of the infrequent and insignificant nature of the Company’s historical credit losses, forecasts of expected credit losses are generally unnecessary. Expected credit losses are recognized by the Company through an allowance for credit losses and related credit loss expense.
9
As of January 1, 2020, the Company completed its expected credit loss assessment for its financial instruments subject to Topic 326. The Company’s estimate of expected credit losses as of January 1, 2020, resulted in no adjustments to the allowance for credit losses and no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings on the adoption date of the standard.
3. Credit Risk Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash balances and accounts receivables. The Company’s excess cash is held with large financial institutions. The Company grants unsecured credit to its patients, most of whom reside in the service area of the Company’s facilities and are insured under third-party payor agreements. The Company’s general policy is to verify insurance coverage prior to the date of admission for patients admitted to its critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals. Within the Company’s outpatient rehabilitation clinics, insurance coverage is verified prior to the patient’s visit. Within the Company’s Concentra centers, insurance coverage is verified or an authorization is received from the patient’s employer prior to the patient’s visit.
Because of the diversity in the Company’s non-governmental third-party payor base, as well as their geographic dispersion, patient accounts receivable which are due from the Medicare program represent the Company’s only significant concentration of credit risk. Approximately 15% and 13% of the Company’s accounts receivable is from Medicare at December 31, 2019, and June 30, 2020, respectively.
4. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests
The ownership interests held by outside parties in subsidiaries, limited liability companies, and limited partnerships controlled by the Company are classified as non-controlling interests. Some of the Company’s non-controlling ownership interests consist of outside parties that have certain redemption rights that, if exercised, require the Company to purchase the parties’ ownership interests. These interests are classified and reported as redeemable non-controlling interests and have been adjusted to their approximate redemption values.
On January 1, 2020, Select acquired approximately 17.2% of the outstanding membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent on a fully diluted basis from Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe XII, L.P. (“WCAS”), Dignity Health Holding Corporation (“DHHC”), and certain other sellers in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $338.4 million. On February 1, 2020, Select acquired an additional 1.4% of the outstanding membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent on a fully diluted basis from WCAS, DHHC, and certain other sellers in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $27.8 million. These purchases were in lieu of, and are considered to be, the exercise of the first put right provided to certain equity holders under the terms of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Concentra Group Holdings Parent, dated as of February 1, 2018, as amended (the “Concentra LLC Agreement”).
Following these purchases, Select owns approximately 66.6% of the outstanding membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent on a fully diluted basis and approximately 68.8% of the outstanding Class A membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent.

5. Variable Interest Entities
Concentra does not own many of its medical practices, as certain states prohibit the “corporate practice of medicine,” which restricts business corporations from practicing medicine through the direct employment of physicians or from exercising control over medical decisions by physicians. In these states, Concentra typically enters into long-term management agreements with professional corporations or associations that are owned by licensed physicians, which, in turn, employ or contract with physicians who provide professional medical services in Concentra’s occupational health centers.
The management agreements have terms that provide for Concentra to conduct, supervise, and manage the day-to-day non-medical operations of the occupational health centers and provide all management and administrative services. Concentra receives a management fee for these services, which is based, in part, on the performance of the professional corporation or association. Additionally, the outstanding voting equity interests of the professional corporations or associations are typically owned by licensed physicians appointed at Concentra’s discretion. Concentra has the ability to direct the transfer of ownership of the professional corporation or association to a new licensed physician at any time.
The total assets of Concentra’s variable interest entities, which are comprised principally of accounts receivable, were $178.4 million and $153.2 million at December 31, 2019, and June 30, 2020, respectively. The total liabilities of Concentra’s variable interest entities, which are comprised principally of accounts payable, accrued expenses, and obligations payable for services received under the aforementioned management agreements, were $176.7 million and $151.9 million at December 31, 2019, and June 30, 2020, respectively.

Excess Cash Flow Payment
In February 2020, Select made a principal prepayment of approximately $39.8 million associated with its term loans in accordance with the provision in its senior secured credit agreement, dated March 6, 2017 (together with any borrowings thereunder, the “Select credit facilities”) that requires mandatory prepayments of term loans as a result of annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Select credit facilities.
Fair Value
The Company considers the inputs in the valuation process to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy for its 6.250% senior notes due August 15, 2026 (the “senior notes”) and the Select credit facilities. Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy is defined as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, which includes quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. The fair value of the Select credit facilities was based on quoted market prices for this debt in the syndicated loan market. The fair value of the senior notes was based on quoted market prices. The carrying amount of other debt, principally short-term notes payable, approximates fair value.

10. Earnings per Share
The Company’s capital structure includes common stock and unvested restricted stock awards. To compute earnings per share (“EPS”), the Company applies the two-class method because the Company’s unvested restricted stock awards are participating securities which are entitled to participate equally with the Company’s common stock in undistributed earnings. Application of the Company’s two-class method is as follows:
(i)Net income attributable to the Company is reduced by the amount of dividends declared and by the contractual amount of dividends that must be paid for the current period for each class of stock. There were no dividends declared or contractual dividends paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020.
(ii)The remaining undistributed net income of the Company is then equally allocated to its common stock and unvested restricted stock awards, as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total net income allocated to each security is determined by adding both distributed and undistributed net income for the period.
(iii)The net income allocated to each security is then divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares for the period to determine the EPS for each security considered in the two-class method.
The following table sets forth the net income attributable to the Company, its common shares outstanding, and its participating securities outstanding.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is a party to various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (some of which are not insured), and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations in the ordinary course of its business. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, proceedings, and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations. These matters could potentially subject the Company to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines, and other penalties. The Department of Justice, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), or other federal and state enforcement and regulatory agencies may conduct additional investigations related to the Company’s businesses in the future that may, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.
To address claims arising out of the Company’s operations, the Company maintains professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance coverages through a number of different programs that are dependent upon such factors as the state where the Company is operating and whether the operations are wholly owned or are operated through a joint venture. For the Company’s wholly owned operations, the Company currently maintains insurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of up to $40.0 million. The Company’s insurance for the professional liability coverage is written on a “claims-made” basis, and its commercial general liability coverage is maintained on an “occurrence” basis. These coverages apply after a self-insured retention limit is exceeded. For the Company’s joint venture operations, the Company has designed a separate insurance program that responds to the risks of the specific joint venture. The Company’s joint ventures are insured under a master program with an annual aggregate limit of up to $80.0 million, subject to a sublimit aggregate ranging from $23.0 million to $33.0 million for each specific joint venture. The policies are generally written on a “claims-made” basis. Each of these programs has either a deductible or self-insured retention limit. The Company reviews its insurance program annually and may make adjustments to the amount of insurance coverage and self-insured retentions in future years. The Company also maintains umbrella liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered by the Company’s other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. Significant legal actions, as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance, could subject the Company to substantial uninsured liabilities. In the Company’s opinion, the outcome of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Healthcare providers are subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether or not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. The Company is and has been a defendant in these cases in the past, and may be named as a defendant in similar cases from time to time in the future.

Wilmington Litigation. On January 19, 2017, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware unsealed a qui tam Complaint in United States of America and State of Delaware ex rel. Theresa Kelly v. Select Specialty Hospital-Wilmington, Inc. (“SSH-Wilmington”), Select Specialty Hospitals, Inc., Select Employment Services, Inc., Select Medical Corporation, and Crystal Cheek, No. 16‑347‑LPS. The Complaint was initially filed under seal in May 2016 by a former chief nursing officer at SSH-Wilmington and was unsealed after the United States filed a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention in January 2017. The corporate defendants were served in March 2017. In the complaint, the plaintiff-relator alleges that the Select defendants and an individual defendant, who is a former health information manager at SSH-Wilmington, violated the False Claims Act and the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act based on allegedly falsifying medical practitioner signatures on medical records and failing to properly examine the credentials of medical practitioners at SSH-Wilmington. In response to the Select defendants’ motion to dismiss the Complaint, in May 2017 the plaintiff-relator filed an Amended Complaint asserting the same causes of action. The Select defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint based on numerous grounds, including that the Amended Complaint did not plead any alleged fraud with sufficient particularity, failed to plead that the alleged fraud was material to the government’s payment decision, failed to plead sufficient facts to establish that the Select defendants knowingly submitted false claims or records, and failed to allege any reverse false claim. In March 2018, the District Court dismissed the plaintiff-relator’s claims related to the alleged failure to properly examine medical practitioners’ credentials, her reverse false claims allegations, and her claim that defendants violated the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act. It denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss claims that the allegedly falsified medical practitioner signatures violated the False Claims Act. Separately, the District Court dismissed the individual defendant due to plaintiff-relator’s failure to timely serve the amended complaint upon her.
In March 2017, the plaintiff-relator initiated a second action by filing a Complaint in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in Theresa Kelly v. Select Medical Corporation, Select Employment Services, Inc., and SSH-Wilmington, C.A. No. N17C-03-293 CLS. The Delaware Complaint alleges that the defendants retaliated against her in violation of the Delaware Whistleblowers’ Protection Act for reporting the same alleged violations that are the subject of the federal Amended Complaint. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss, or alternatively to stay, the Delaware Complaint based on the pending federal Amended Complaint and the failure to allege facts to support a violation of the Delaware Whistleblowers’ Protection Act. In January 2018, the Court stayed the Delaware Complaint pending the outcome of the federal case.
The Company intends to vigorously defend these actions, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
Contract Therapy Subpoena. On May 18, 2017, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey seeking various documents principally relating to the Company’s contract therapy division, which contracted to furnish rehabilitation therapy services to residents of skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and other providers. The Company operated its contract therapy division through a subsidiary until March 31, 2016, when the Company sold the stock of the subsidiary. The subpoena seeks documents that appear to be aimed at assessing whether therapy services were furnished and billed in compliance with Medicare SNF billing requirements, including whether therapy services were coded at inappropriate levels and whether excessive or unnecessary therapy was furnished to justify coding at higher paying levels. The Company does not know whether the subpoena has been issued in connection with a qui tam lawsuit or in connection with possible civil, criminal or administrative proceedings by the government. The Company has produced documents in response to the subpoena and intends to fully cooperate with this investigation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
Ann Arbor Complaint. On May 12, 2020, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan unsealed qui tam Complaints in United States of America and State of Michigan ex rel. Neal Elkin v. Select Medical Holdings Corp., Select Medical, and Select Specialty Hospital – Ann Arbor, Inc. (“SSH-Ann Arbor”), No. 12-cv-13984. An initial Complaint was filed under seal in September 2012 and a First Amended Complaint was filed under seal in September 2019. Both Complaints were unsealed after the United States and State of Michigan filed a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention in May 2020. In the First Amended Complaint, the plaintiff-relator, a physician formerly practicing at SSH-Ann Arbor, alleges that the defendants had a policy to keep respiratory patients on ventilators longer than medically necessary in order to increase reimbursement, and that, after he complained of this practice, SSH-Ann Arbor retaliated by refusing to assign new patients to him. The First Amended Complaint has not yet been served on the defendants. If the plaintiff-relator serves the First Amended Complaint and pursues this action, the Company intends to vigorously defend this action; however, at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

12. CARES Act
Provider Relief Funds
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act provided additional waivers, reimbursement, grants and other funds to assist health care providers during the COVID-19 pandemic, including $100.0 billion in appropriations for the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also referred to as the Provider Relief Fund, to be used for preventing, preparing, and responding to the coronavirus, and for reimbursing eligible health care providers for lost revenues and health care related expenses that are attributable to COVID-19. These health care related expenses could include costs associated with constructing temporary structures or emergency operation centers, retrofitting facilities, purchasing medical supplies and equipment including personal protective equipment and testing supplies, and increasing workforce and trainings.
The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries received approximately $100.5 million of payments under the Provider Relief Fund as of June 30, 2020. Under the Company’s accounting policy, it will recognize these payments as other operating income when it is probable that it has complied with the terms and conditions of the funds. Other operating income will be recognized as the Company incurs a loss of revenues or health care related expenses attributable to COVID-19. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company has recognized approximately $55.0 million as other operating income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The remaining Provider Relief Fund payments of approximately $45.5 million are recorded within “unearned government assistance” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and will be recognized as other operating income in future periods when the Company incurs additional lost revenues or health care related expenses attributable to COVID-19. There is uncertainty regarding whether all payments received by the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries will be recognized as other operating income in future periods; such funds may need to be repaid to the government to the extent that payments received exceed lost revenues and health care related expenses attributable to COVID-19.
Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payments Program
In accordance with the CARES Act, CMS temporarily expanded its current Accelerated and Advance Payment Program for Medicare providers. Under this program, qualified healthcare providers could receive advanced or accelerated payments from CMS. The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries received approximately $317.0 million of advanced payments under this program. The majority of these payments were received in April 2020. Amounts received under the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program are reflected in “government advances” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
For the Company’s critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals, repayment of amounts received under the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program are due 210 days after the advanced payment was issued. Failure to repay the advanced payments when due results in interest charges on the outstanding balance owed. CMS has the ability to recoup the advanced payments through future Medicare claims billed by the Company’s hospitals, beginning 121 days after the advanced payment was issued.
Employer Payroll Tax Deferral
In April 2020, the Company began deferring payment on its share of payroll taxes owed, as allowed by the CARES Act through December 31, 2020. The Company is able to defer half of its share of payroll taxes owed until December 31, 2021, with the remaining half due on December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2020, the Company deferred approximately $33.1 million of payroll taxes. These amounts are reflected in “other non-current liabilities” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
13. Income Taxes
The CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020, includes changes to certain tax law related to net operating losses and the deductibility of interest expense and depreciation. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. This legislation had the effect of increasing the Company’s deferred income taxes and decreasing its current income taxes payable by approximately $15.5 million and resulted from a correction to allow for bonus depreciation on certain types of qualified property for tax years beginning January 1, 2018, and the provision for an increase in the amounts allowed for interest expense deductions for tax years beginning January 1, 2019. The legislation related to net operating losses did not impact the Company’s deferred tax balances.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read this discussion together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “target,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” and similar expressions. These statements include, among others, statements regarding our expected business outlook, anticipated financial and operating results, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on those financial and operating results, our business strategy and means to implement our strategy, our objectives, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, the likelihood of our success in expanding our business, financing plans, budgets, working capital needs, and sources of liquidity.
Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding our services, the expansion of our services, competitive conditions, and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Forward-looking statements also involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
•developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic, additional measures taken by government authorities and the private sector to limit the spread of COVID-19, and further legislative and regulatory actions which impact healthcare providers, including actions that may impact the Medicare program;
•changes in government reimbursement for our services and/or new payment policies may result in a reduction in net operating revenues, an increase in costs, and a reduction in profitability;
•the failure of our Medicare-certified long term care hospitals or inpatient rehabilitation facilities to maintain their Medicare certifications may cause our net operating revenues and profitability to decline;
•the failure of our Medicare-certified long term care hospitals and inpatient rehabilitation facilities operated as “hospitals within hospitals” to qualify as hospitals separate from their host hospitals may cause our net operating revenues and profitability to decline;
•a government investigation or assertion that we have violated applicable regulations may result in sanctions or reputational harm and increased costs;
•acquisitions or joint ventures may prove difficult or unsuccessful, use significant resources, or expose us to unforeseen liabilities;
•our plans and expectations related to our acquisitions and our ability to realize anticipated synergies;
•private third-party payors for our services may adopt payment policies that could limit our future net operating revenues and profitability;
•the failure to maintain established relationships with the physicians in the areas we serve could reduce our net operating revenues and profitability;
•shortages in qualified nurses, therapists, physicians, or other licensed providers, or the inability to attract or retain healthcare professionals due to the heightened risk of infection related to the COVID-19 pandemic, could increase our operating costs significantly or limit our ability to staff our facilities;
•competition may limit our ability to grow and result in a decrease in our net operating revenues and profitability;
•the loss of key members of our management team could significantly disrupt our operations;
•the effect of claims asserted against us could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities;
•a security breach of our or our third-party vendors’ information technology systems may subject us to potential legal and reputational harm and may result in a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 or the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act; and
20
•other factors discussed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as such risk factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, including the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors on this Form 10-Q.
Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we are under no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of any new information, future events, or otherwise. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results or performance.
Investors should also be aware that while we do, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against our policy to disclose to securities analysts any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, stockholders should not assume that we agree with any statement or report issued by any securities analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain any projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are not the responsibility of the Company.
Overview
We began operations in 1997 and, based on number of facilities, are one of the largest operators of critical illness recovery hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and occupational health centers in the United States. As of June 30, 2020, we had operations in 47 states and the District of Columbia. We operated 101 critical illness recovery hospitals in 28 states, 29 rehabilitation hospitals in 12 states, and 1,757 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 37 states and the District of Columbia. Concentra, a joint venture subsidiary, operated 522 occupational health centers in 41 states as of June 30, 2020. Concentra also provides contract services at employer worksites and Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinics (“CBOCs”).
Our reportable segments include the critical illness recovery hospital segment, the rehabilitation hospital segment, the outpatient rehabilitation segment, and the Concentra segment. We had net operating revenues of $2,647.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Of this total, we earned approximately 39% of our net operating revenues from our critical illness recovery hospital segment, approximately 13% from our rehabilitation hospital segment, approximately 16% from our outpatient rehabilitation segment, and approximately 27% from our Concentra segment. Our critical illness recovery hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of patients recovering from critical illnesses, often with complex medical needs, and our rehabilitation hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive physical rehabilitation care. Patients are typically admitted to our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals from general acute care hospitals. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics that provide physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation services. Our Concentra segment consists of occupational health centers that provide workers’ compensation injury care, physical therapy, and consumer health services as well as onsite clinics located at employer worksites that deliver occupational medicine services. Additionally, our Concentra segment delivers veteran’s healthcare through its Department of Veterans Affairs CBOCs.
21
Non-GAAP Measure
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, is important to investors because Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator of performance by investors within the healthcare industry. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate financial performance and determine resource allocation for each of our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income, income from operations, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying definitions, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, gain (loss) on sale of businesses, and equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries. We will refer to Adjusted EBITDA throughout the remainder of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The table below reconciles net income and income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA and should be referenced when we discuss Adjusted EBITDA:

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Results of Operations
The continuing implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain. We have provided net operating revenues and certain operating statistics to assist readers in understanding how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted each of our segments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Please refer to our risk factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q and as previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 for further discussion.
Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment. Our critical illness recovery hospitals are a key component of the inpatient hospital continuum of care. Both CMS and Congress acted to temporarily suspend certain regulations concerning length of stay requirements, which apply to our critical illness recovery hospitals, in order to facilitate the transfer of patients from general acute care hospitals (see “Regulatory Changes” for further discussion of the temporary suspension of regulations). This was done in order to expand hospital bed capacity to care for COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 has become more prevalent in certain markets that we serve; as a result, our critical illness recovery hospitals have admitted patients with COVID-19 and we have faced the challenging task of treating those patients while also taking measures to protect our patients and staff members who do not have COVID-19. The pandemic has caused, and will continue to cause, disruptions in our critical illness recovery hospitals, which include, in some cases, the addition or reduction of beds, the creation of isolated units and spaces, temporary increases or restrictions on admissions, the incurrence of additional costs, staff illnesses, and the increased use of contract clinical labor.
The following table shows the trend in net operating revenues and patient day volume for each of the periods presented, as well as the number of critical illness recovery hospitals we operated at the end of each period.

Rehabilitation Hospital Segment. Our rehabilitation hospitals receive most of their admissions from general acute care hospitals. Both CMS and Congress acted to temporarily suspend certain regulations that govern admissions into our rehabilitation hospitals in order to facilitate the transfer of patients from general acute care hospitals and critical illness recovery hospitals (see “Regulatory Changes” for further discussion of the temporary suspension of regulations). This was done in order to expand hospital bed capacity to care for COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 has become more prevalent in certain markets that we serve; as a result, our rehabilitation hospitals have admitted patients with COVID-19 and we have faced the challenging task of treating those patients while also taking measures to protect our patients and staff members who do not have COVID-19. The pandemic has caused, and will continue to cause, disruptions in our rehabilitation hospitals, which include, in some cases, the addition or reduction of beds, the creation of isolated units and spaces, temporary restrictions on admissions, the incurrence of additional costs, staff illnesses, and the increased use of contract clinical labor. At the beginning of the pandemic, elective surgeries at hospitals and other facilities were suspended, which reduced the need for inpatient rehabilitation services. Beginning in May, state governors and health departments began to ease the restrictions imposed at the beginning of the pandemic and hospitals began to perform elective surgeries again, which has increased the need for the services provided by our rehabilitation hospitals.
The following table shows the trend in net operating revenues and patient day volume for each of the periods presented, as well as the number of rehabilitation hospitals we operated at the end of each period.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment. Beginning in mid-March, hospitals and other facilities began to suspend elective surgeries. Additionally, state governments in the areas experiencing the most significant growth of COVID-19 infections began implementing mandatory closures of non-essential or non-life sustaining businesses, restrictions on individual activities outside of the home, restrictions on travel, and closures of schools. By the end of March, most states had implemented significant restrictions on businesses and individuals. The suspension of elective surgeries at hospitals and other facilities and the reduction of physician office visits, combined with recommendations of social distancing and the other items noted above, have had significant effects on our patient visit volumes. Beginning in May, state governors and health departments began to ease the restrictions imposed at the beginning of the pandemic and hospitals began to perform elective surgeries again, which has increased the need for the services provided by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics. Additionally, most physician offices have reopened for routine office visits. While some of our volume has recovered, our outpatient rehabilitation segment continues to experience reduced volume of patients seeking rehabilitation services for employment injuries and sports activities.

Concentra Segment. Beginning in mid-March, state governments in the areas experiencing the most significant growth of COVID-19 infections began implementing mandatory closures of non-essential or non-life sustaining businesses. By the end of March, most states implemented significant restrictions on businesses, causing many employers to furlough their workforce and temporarily cease or significantly reduce their operations. These actions have had significant effects on our patient visit volumes. Beginning in May, state governors and health departments began to ease the restrictions imposed at the beginning of the pandemic and employers began to increase their workforce, which has resulted in an increased need for our occupational health services.

Regulatory Changes
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2020, contains a detailed discussion of the regulations that affect our business in Part I — Business — Government Regulations. The following is a discussion of some of the more significant healthcare regulatory changes that have affected our financial performance in the periods covered by this report or are likely to affect our financial performance and financial condition in the future. The information below should be read in conjunction with the more detailed discussion of regulations contained in our Form 10-K.
Medicare Reimbursement
The Medicare program reimburses healthcare providers for services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries, which are generally persons age 65 and older, those who are chronically disabled, and those suffering from end stage renal disease. The program is governed by the Social Security Act of 1965 and is administered primarily by the Department of Health and Human Services and CMS. Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program represented approximately 26% of our net operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and 26% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Federal Health Care Program Changes in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
On January 31, 2020, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) declared a public health emergency under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. § 247d, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. On March 13, 2020, President Trump declared a national emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the HHS Secretary authorized the waiver or modification of certain requirements under the Medicare, Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) pursuant to section 1135 of the Social Security Act. Under this authority, CMS issued a number of blanket waivers that excuse health care providers or suppliers from specific program requirements. The following blanket waivers, while in effect, may impact our results of operations:
i.Inpatient rehabilitation facilities (“IRFs”), IRF units, and hospitals and units applying to be classified as IRFs, can exclude patients admitted solely to respond to the emergency from the calculation of the “60 percent rule” thresholds to receive payment as an IRF.
ii.Long-term care hospitals (“LTCHs”) are exempt from the greater-than-25-day average length of stay requirement for all cost reporting periods that include the COVID-19 public health emergency period. Hospitals seeking LTCH classification can exclude patient stays from the greater-than-25-day average length of stay requirement where the patient was admitted or discharged to meet the demands of the COVID-19 public health emergency.
iii.Medicare will not require out-of-state physician and non-physician practitioners to be licensed in the state where they are providing services when they are licensed in another state, subject to certain conditions and state or local licensure requirements.
iv.Many requirements under the hospital conditions of participation (“CoPs”) are waived during the emergency period to give hospitals more flexibility in treating COVID-19 patients.
v.Hospitals can operate temporary expansion locations without meeting the provider-based entity requirements or certain requirements in the physical environment CoP for hospitals during the emergency. This waiver also allows hospitals to change the status of their current provider-based department locations to meet patient needs as part of the state or local pandemic plan.
vi.IRFs, LTCHs and certain other providers do not need to submit quality data to Medicare for October 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 to comply with the quality reporting programs.
vii.The HHS Secretary waived sanctions under the physician self-referral law (i.e., Stark law) for certain types of remuneration and referral arrangements that are related to a COVID-19 purpose. The Office of the Inspector General (“OIG”) will also exercise enforcement discretion to not impose administrative sanctions under the federal anti-kickback statute for many payments covered by the Stark law waivers.
CMS also approved section 1135 waivers for 54 state Medicaid programs (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other territories), 45 temporary changes to Medicaid or CHIP state plan amendments, and 1 traditional change to a Medicaid state plan amendment. CMS will consider specific waiver requests from providers and suppliers. We have submitted one or more specific waiver requests to make it easier for our operators or referral partners to treat COVID-19 patients, and we may submit others in the future.

Pursuant to the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, Public Law 116-123, CMS has waived Medicare telehealth payment requirements during the emergency so that beneficiaries in all areas of the country (not just rural areas) can receive telehealth services, including in their homes, beginning on March 6, 2020. CMS issued additional waivers to permit more than 130 additional services to be furnished by telehealth, allow physicians to monitor patient services remotely, and fulfill face-to-face requirements in IRFs.
In addition to these agency actions, the CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020. It provides additional waivers, reimbursement, grants and other funds to assist health care providers during the COVID-19 public health emergency. Some of the CARES Act provisions that may impact our operations include:
i.$100 billion in appropriations for the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund to be used for preventing, preparing, and responding to the coronavirus, and for reimbursing “eligible health care providers for health care related expenses or lost revenues that are attributable to coronavirus.” Half of the fund is allocated for general distribution to Medicare providers. The first $30 billion was distributed to health care providers that received Medicare fee-for-service payments in 2019. The remaining $20 billion is being distributed to Medicare providers in a manner that makes the entire $50 billion general distribution proportional to providers’ share of 2018 net patient revenue. The other half of the fund is for targeted allocations to providers in high impact COVID-19 areas ($10 billion), rural providers ($10 billion), Indian Health Service ($400 million), and unspecified allocations for treatment of uninsured COVID-19 patients and providers who need additional funding such as skilled nursing facilities, dentists, and providers that only treat Medicaid patients.
ii.Expansion of the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program to advance three months of payments to Medicare providers. CMS has the ability to recoup the advanced payments through future Medicare claims, beginning 121 days after the advanced payment was issued. Repayment of amounts received under the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program are due 210 days after the advanced payment was issued.
iii.Temporary suspension of the 2% cut to Medicare payments due to sequestration so that, for the period of May 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, the Medicare program will be exempt from any sequestration order.
iv.Two waivers of Medicare statutory requirements regarding site neutral payment to LTCHs. The first waives the LTCH discharge payment percentage requirement (i.e., 50% rule) for the cost reporting period(s) that include the emergency period. The second waives application of the site neutral payment rate so that all LTCH cases admitted during the emergency period will be paid the LTCH-PPS standard federal rate.
v.Waiver of the IRF 3-hour rule so that IRF services provided during the public health emergency period do not need to meet the coverage requirement that patients receive at least 3 hours of therapy a day or 15 hours of therapy per week.
The CARES Act also provides for a 20% increase in the payment weight for Medicare payments to hospitals paid under the inpatient hospital prospective payment system (“IPPS”) for treating COVID-19 patients. We are monitoring developments related to this provision, in case CMS provides a similar payment add-on for LTCHs and IRFs.
Medicare Reimbursement of LTCH Services
The following is a summary of significant regulatory changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for our critical illness recovery hospitals, which are certified by Medicare as LTCHs, which have affected our results of operations, as well as the policies and payment rates that may affect our future results of operations. Medicare payments to our critical illness recovery hospitals are made in accordance with the long term care hospital prospective payment system (“LTCH-PPS”).
Fiscal Year 2019. On August 17, 2018, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2019 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019). Certain errors in the final rule were corrected in a document published October 3, 2018. The standard federal rate was set at $41,559, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2018 of $41,415. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2019 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.8%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The standard federal rate also included an area wage budget neutrality factor of 0.999215 and a temporary, one-time budget neutrality adjustment of 0.990878 in connection with the elimination of the 25 Percent Rule. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $27,121, a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2018 fiscal year of $27,381. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate was set at $25,743, a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2018 fiscal year of $26,537.
31
Fiscal Year 2020. On August 16, 2019, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2020 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020). Certain errors in the final rule were corrected in a document published October 8, 2019. The standard federal rate was set at $42,678, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2019 of $41,559. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2020 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.4%. The standard federal rate also included an area wage budget neutrality factor of 1.0020203 and a temporary, one-time budget neutrality adjustment of 0.999858 in connection with the elimination of the 25 Percent Rule. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $26,778, a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2019 fiscal year of $27,121. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate was set at $26,552, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2019 fiscal year of $25,743. For LTCH discharges occurring in cost reporting periods beginning in FY 2020, site neutral payment rate cases will begin to be paid fully on the site neutral payment rate, rather than the transitional blended rate. However, the CARES Act waives the site neutral payment rate for patients admitted during such coronavirus emergency period and in response to the public health emergency, as discussed above.
Fiscal Year 2021. On May 29, 2020, CMS published the proposed policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2021 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021). The standard federal rate for fiscal year 2021, if adopted, would be set at $43,849, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2020 of $42,678. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2021, if adopted, includes a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.4%. The standard federal rate would also include an area wage budget neutrality factor of 1.0018755 and a permanent, one-time budget neutrality adjustment of 1.000517 in connection with the elimination of the 25 Percent Rule. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS, if adopted, would be set at $30,515, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2020 fiscal year of $26,778. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate, if adopted, would be set at $30,006, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2020 fiscal year of $26,552.
Medicare Reimbursement of IRF Services
The following is a summary of significant regulatory changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for our rehabilitation hospitals, which are certified by Medicare as IRFs, which have affected our results of operations, as well as the policies and payment rates that may affect our future results of operations. Medicare payments to our rehabilitation hospitals are made in accordance with the inpatient rehabilitation facility prospective payment system (“IRF-PPS”).
Fiscal Year 2019. On August 6, 2018, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2019 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2019 was set at $16,021, an increase from the standard payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2018 of $15,838. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2019 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.8%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. CMS increased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2019 to $9,402 from $8,679 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2018.
Fiscal Year 2020. On August 8, 2019, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2020 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2020 was set at $16,489, an increase from the standard payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2019 of $16,021. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2020 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.4%. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2020 to $9,300 from $9,402 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2019.
Fiscal Year 2021. On April 21, 2020, CMS published the proposed policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2021 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2021 would be set at $16,847, an increase from the standard payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2020 of $16,489. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2021, if adopted, would include a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.4%. CMS proposed to decrease the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2021 to $8,102 from $9,300 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2020.

Medicare Reimbursement of Outpatient Rehabilitation Clinic Services
Outpatient rehabilitation providers enroll in Medicare as a rehabilitation agency, a clinic, or a public health agency. The Medicare program reimburses outpatient rehabilitation providers based on the Medicare physician fee schedule. For services provided in 2017 through 2019, a 0.5% update was applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to an adjustment beginning in 2019 under the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (“MIPS”). In 2019, CMS added physical and occupational therapists to the list of MIPS eligible clinicians. For these therapists in private practice, payments under the fee schedule are subject to adjustment in a later year based on their performance in MIPS according to established performance standards. Calendar year 2021 is the first year that payments are adjusted, based upon the therapist’s performance under MIPS in 2019. Providers in facility-based outpatient therapy settings are excluded from MIPS eligibility and therefore not subject to this payment adjustment. For services provided in 2020 through 2025, a 0.0% percent update will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to adjustments under MIPS and the alternative payment models (“APMs”). In 2026 and subsequent years, eligible professionals participating in APMs who meet certain criteria would receive annual updates of 0.75%, while all other professionals would receive annual updates of 0.25%.
Each year from 2019 through 2024 eligible clinicians who receive a significant share of their revenues through an advanced APM (such as accountable care organizations or bundled payment arrangements) that involves risk of financial losses and a quality measurement component will receive a 5% bonus. The bonus payment for APM participation is intended to encourage participation and testing of new APMs and to promote the alignment of incentives across payors.
In the final 2020 Medicare physician fee schedule, CMS revised coding, documentation guidelines, and valuation for evaluation and management (“E/M”) office visit codes. Because the Medicare physician fee schedule is budget-neutral, any revaluation of E/M services that will increase spending by more than $20 million will require a budget neutrality adjustment. To increase values for the E/M codes while maintaining budget neutrality under the fee schedule, CMS proposed cuts to other codes to make up the difference, beginning in 2021. Under the proposal, physical and occupational therapy services could see code reductions that may result in an estimated 8% decrease in payment. However, many providers have opposed the proposed cuts, and CMS has not yet determined the actual cuts to each code.
Modifiers to Identify Services of Physical Therapy Assistants or Occupational Therapy Assistants
In the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule for calendar year 2019, CMS established two new modifiers (CQ and CO) to identify services furnished in whole or in part by physical therapy assistants (“PTAs”) or occupational therapy assistants (“OTAs”). These modifiers were mandated by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, which requires that claims for outpatient therapy services furnished in whole or part by therapy assistants on or after January 1, 2020 include the appropriate modifier. CMS intends to use these modifiers to implement a payment differential that would reimburse services provided by PTAs and OTAs at 85% of the fee schedule rate beginning on January 1, 2022. In the final 2020 Medicare physician fee schedule rule, CMS clarified that when the physical therapist is involved for the entire duration of the service and the PTA provides skilled therapy alongside the physical therapist, the CQ modifier is not required. Also, when the same service (code) is furnished separately by the physical therapist and PTA, CMS will apply the de minimis standard to each 15-minute unit of codes, not on the total physical therapist and PTA time of the service, allowing the separate reporting, on two different claim lines, of the number of units to which the new modifiers apply and the number of units to which the modifiers do not apply.

Operating Statistics
The following table sets forth operating statistics for each of our segments for the periods presented. The operating statistics reflect data for the period of time we managed these operations. Our operating statistics include metrics we believe provide relevant insight about the number of facilities we operate, volume of services we provide to our patients, and average payment rates for services we provide. These metrics are utilized by management to monitor trends and performance in our businesses and therefore may be important to investors because management may assess our performance based in part on such metrics. Other healthcare providers may present similar statistics, and these statistics are susceptible to varying definitions. Our statistics as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled statistics of other companies.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
In the following, we discuss our results of operations related to net operating revenues, operating expenses, other operating income, Adjusted EBITDA, depreciation and amortization, income from operations, equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, gain on sale of businesses, interest expense, income taxes, and net income attributable to non-controlling interests.
Please refer to “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Results of Operations” above for further discussion.
Net Operating Revenues
Our net operating revenues were $1,232.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1,361.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment. Net operating revenues increased 12.7% to $519.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $461.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net operating revenues resulted from increases in both patient volume and net revenue per patient day during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our patient days increased 5.3% to 276,889 days for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 262,860 days for the three months ended June 30, 2019. We experienced a 4.5% increase in patient days in our existing critical illness recovery hospitals. The remaining increase was attributable to the four critical illness recovery hospitals we acquired in 2019. Occupancy in our critical illness recovery hospitals increased to 72% during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 69% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Net revenue per patient day increased 7.4% to $1,867 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1,739 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. We experienced increases in both our Medicare and non-Medicare net revenue per patient day. The increase in our Medicare net revenue per patient day resulted primarily from an increase in patient acuity.
Rehabilitation Hospital Segment. Net operating revenues increased 5.2% to $168.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $160.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net operating revenues resulted from increases in net revenue per patient day. Our net revenue per patient day increased 12.0% to $1,831 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1,635 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. We experienced increases in both our Medicare and non-Medicare net revenue per patient day. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had 84,081 patient days, compared to 86,525 days for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decline in patient days occurred during April 2020 and was principally driven by our rehabilitation hospitals in New Jersey and South Florida that temporarily restricted their admissions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain of our other rehabilitation hospitals also experienced overall lower patient volumes due to the suspension of elective surgeries at hospitals and other facilities, which consequently reduced the demand for inpatient rehabilitation services. Our rehabilitation hospitals began to see improvement in patient volume during May 2020 and, during June 2020, our patient days increased 7.8% as compared to June 2019.
Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment. Net operating revenues were $167.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $261.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net operating revenues was attributable to a decline in visits, which were 1,342,267 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 2,203,505 visits for the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the decline in volume resulted from actions by governmental authorities and the private sector to limit the spread of COVID-19. Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics experienced less demand for services due to a decline in patient referrals from physicians, a reduction in workers’ compensation injury visits due to the temporary closure of businesses, the suspension of elective surgeries at hospitals and other facilities, which resulted in less demand for outpatient rehabilitation services, and mandated social distancing measures. Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics experienced a 47.7% decrease in visits during April and May 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. Patient volume in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics began to improve during June 2020 as compared to April and May 2020. During June 2020, we experienced a 19.7% decrease in visits as compared to the same period in 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we have 66 outpatient rehabilitation clinics that remain temporarily closed. Our net revenue per visit was $106 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $102 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The higher net revenue per visit rate reflects a higher percentage of workers’ compensation patients treated during the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.
38
Concentra Segment. Net operating revenues were $312.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $413.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net operating revenues was attributable to a decline in visits, which were 2,151,080 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 3,103,089 visits for the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the decline in volume resulted from employers furloughing their workforce and temporarily ceasing or significantly reducing their operations as a result of the actions of governmental authorities and those in the private sector to limit the spread of COVID-19. Consequently, our centers experienced a reduction in workers’ compensation and employer services visits. During April and May 2020, our centers experienced a 39.2% decrease in visits as compared to the same period in 2019. Patient volume in our centers began to improve during June 2020, as compared to April and May 2020. During June 2020, we experienced a 12.4% decrease in visits as compared to the same period in 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we have 18 centers that remain temporarily closed and 195 centers are operating at reduced hours. Our net revenue per visit was $124 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $121 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The higher net revenue per visit rate reflects a higher percentage of workers’ compensation patients treated during the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist principally of cost of services and general and administrative expenses. Our operating expenses were $1,115.9 million, or 90.5% of net operating revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1,181.5 million, or 86.8% of net operating revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our cost of services, a major component of which is labor expense, was $1,082.5 million, or 87.8% of net operating revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1,150.2 million, or 84.5% of net operating revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in our operating expenses relative to our net operating revenues was principally due to reduced patient volume in our outpatient rehabilitation and Concentra segments, as discussed above. General and administrative expenses were $33.5 million, or 2.7% of net operating revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $31.3 million, or 2.3% of net operating revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Other Operating Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had other operating income of $55.0 million. We recognized payments received under the Provider Relief Fund as other operating income as we have incurred losses of revenue and health care related expenses attributable to COVID-19. Refer to Note 12 – CARES Act of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further information. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, $54.2 million of other operating income is included within the operating results of our other activities; $0.8 million of other operating income is included in the operating results of our Concentra segment.
Adjusted EBITDA
Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment. Adjusted EBITDA increased 39.9% to $89.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $64.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the critical illness recovery hospital segment was 17.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 13.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for our critical illness recovery hospital segment were driven by increases in both patient volume and our net revenue per patient day, as discussed above under “Net Operating Revenues.” The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were offset, in part, by the incurrence of additional operating expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our critical illness recovery hospitals have modified certain of their protocols in order to follow the guidelines and recommendations for patient treatment and for the protection of both our patients and staff members. This has resulted in increased labor costs, including increased contracted labor usage, as well as additional costs resulting from the purchase of personal protective equipment.
Rehabilitation Hospital Segment. Adjusted EBITDA was $27.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $30.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the rehabilitation hospital segment was 16.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 18.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The declines in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were primarily driven by our rehabilitation hospitals in New Jersey and South Florida which implemented temporary restrictions on admissions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed above under “Net Operating Revenues.” Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were also impacted by the incurrence of additional operating expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our rehabilitation hospitals have modified certain of their protocols in order to follow the guidelines and recommendations for patient treatment and for the protection of both our patients and staff members. This has resulted in increased labor costs as well as additional costs resulting from the purchase of personal protective equipment.
39
Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment. We incurred Adjusted EBITDA losses of $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $42.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the outpatient rehabilitation segment was (3.8)% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 16.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were primarily caused by a 39.1% decrease in visits, resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. We incurred Adjusted EBITDA losses during April and May 2020. We generated positive Adjusted EBITDA in June 2020 as we began to see improvement in patient volume, which is discussed above under “Net Operating Revenues.” In response to the decline in patient volume and in an effort to reduce operating expenses, we temporarily consolidated, where possible, the operations of clinics which operate within close proximity to one another and took other measures to reduce labor costs.
Concentra Segment. Adjusted EBITDA was $41.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $76.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Concentra segment was 13.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 18.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were primarily caused by a 30.7% decrease in visits, resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decreases in our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin occurred during April and May 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin improved in June 2020, as compared to both April and May 2020 and the same period in 2019, as we began to see improvement in patient volume, which is discussed above under “Net Operating Revenues.” In response to the decline in patient volume and in an effort to reduce operating expenses, we temporarily consolidated, where possible, the operations of centers which operate within close proximity to one another, reduced the operating hours of certain centers, and took other measures to reduce labor costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $52.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $55.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Income from Operations
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had income from operations of $119.5 million, compared to $124.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in income from operations was primarily attributable to the operating performance of our outpatient rehabilitation and Concentra segments. The decrease in income from operations was offset, in part, by the recognition of $55.0 million of other operating income, as discussed above.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
Our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries relates to rehabilitation businesses and other healthcare-related businesses in which we are a minority owner. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $8.3 million, compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Gain on Sale of Businesses
We recognized a gain of $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The gain was attributable to additional proceeds received from the sale of an outpatient rehabilitation business. The sale occurred during the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $37.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $51.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in interest expense was principally due to a decline in variable interest rates, as well as the refinancing of our Select credit facilities, Concentra-JPM credit facilities (as defined below), and senior notes during the third and fourth quarters of 2019.
Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $23.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which represented an effective tax rate of 25.7%. We recorded income tax expense of $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which represented an effective tax rate of 25.8%.
40
Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $15.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $15.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
41
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
In the following, we discuss our results of operations related to net operating revenues, operating expenses, other operating income, Adjusted EBITDA, depreciation and amortization, income from operations, equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, gain on sale of businesses, interest expense, income taxes, and net income attributable to non-controlling interests.
Please refer to “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Results of Operations” above for further discussion.
Net Operating Revenues
Our net operating revenues were $2,647.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $2,686.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment. Net operating revenues increased 11.0% to $1,020.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $918.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net operating revenues was due to increases in both patient volume and net revenue per patient day. Our patient days increased 5.1% to 547,347 days for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 520,989 days for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We experienced a 2.0% increase in patient days in our existing critical illness recovery hospitals. The remaining increase was attributable to the four critical illness recovery hospitals we acquired in 2019. Net revenue per patient day increased 5.9% to $1,853 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1,749 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We experienced increases in both our Medicare and non-Medicare net revenue per patient day. The increase in our Medicare net revenue per patient day resulted primarily from an increase in patient acuity
Rehabilitation Hospital Segment. Net operating revenues increased 11.4% to $350.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $314.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net operating revenues resulted from increases in both patient volume and net revenue per patient day during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our patient days increased 5.5% to 178,649 days for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 169,341 days for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in patient days was principally driven by our rehabilitation hospitals which commenced operations during 2019. Several of our other rehabilitation hospitals experienced increases in patient days during the six months ended June 30, 2020; however, these increases were offset by declines in volume experienced within our rehabilitation hospitals in New Jersey and South Florida that temporarily restricted admissions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain of our rehabilitation hospitals also experienced overall lower patient volume due to the suspension of elective surgeries at hospitals and other facilities, which consequently reduced the demand for inpatient rehabilitation services. Patient volume in our rehabilitation hospitals began declining in March 2020 and these declines continued through April 2020. Our rehabilitation hospitals began to see improvement in patient volume during May 2020 and, during June 2020, our rehabilitation hospitals patient days increased 7.8% as compared to June 2019. Our net revenue per patient day increased 8.8% to $1,778 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1,634 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We experienced increases in both our Medicare and non-Medicare net revenue per patient day.
Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment. Net operating revenues were $422.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $508.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net operating revenues was attributable to a decline in visits, which were 3,464,932 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 4,257,988 visits for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We experienced an 11.2% increase in visits during January and February 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics experienced a 32.4% decrease in visits during the four months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to same period in 2019. The decline in volume resulted from actions by governmental authorities and the private sector to limit the spread of COVID-19, as discussed above. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the decline in volume principally occurred during April and May 2020. During this time, our outpatient rehabilitation clinics experienced a 47.7% decrease in visits as compared to the same period in 2019. Patient volume in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics began to improve during June 2020, as compared to April and May 2020. During June 2020, we experienced a 19.7% decrease in visits as compared to the same period in 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we have 66 outpatient rehabilitation clinics that remain temporarily closed. Our net revenue per visit was $105 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $103 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The higher net revenue per visit rate reflects a higher percentage of workers’ compensation patients treated during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.
42
Concentra Segment. Net operating revenues were $710.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $809.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net operating revenues was attributable to a decline in visits, which were 5,028,475 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 6,014,696 visits for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We experienced a 4.9% increase in visits during January and February 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. Our centers experienced a 26.3% decrease in visits during the four months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to same period in 2019. The decline in volume during these four months resulted from employers furloughing their workforce and temporarily ceasing or significantly reducing their operations as a result of the actions of governmental authorities and those in the private sector to limit the spread of COVID-19, as discussed above. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the decline in volume principally occurred during April and May 2020. During this time, our centers experienced a 39.2% decrease in visits as compared to the same period in 2019. Patient volume in our centers began to improve during June 2020, as compared to April and May 2020. During June 2020, we experienced a 12.4% decrease in visits as compared to the same period in 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we have 18 centers that remain temporarily closed and 195 centers are operating at reduced hours. Net revenue per visit was $124 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $122 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The higher net revenue per visit rate reflects a higher percentage of workers’ compensation patients treated during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist principally of cost of services and general and administrative expenses. Our operating expenses were $2,350.1 million, or 88.7% of net operating revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $2,342.3 million, or 87.2% of net operating revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our cost of services, a major component of which is labor expense, was $2,282.8 million, or 86.2% of net operating revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $2,282.2 million, or 85.0% of net operating revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in our operating expenses relative to our net operating revenues was principally due to the reduced patient volume in our outpatient rehabilitation and Concentra segments, as discussed above. General and administrative expenses were $67.3 million, or 2.5% of net operating revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $60.0 million, or 2.2% of net operating revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Other Operating Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had other operating income of $55.0 million. We recognized payments received under the Provider Relief Fund as other operating income as we have incurred losses of revenue and health care related expenses attributable to COVID-19. Refer to Note 12 – CARES Act of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further information. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, $54.2 million of other operating income is included within the operating results of our other activities; $0.8 million of other operating income is included in the operating results of our Concentra segment.
Adjusted EBITDA
Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment. Adjusted EBITDA increased 30.0% to $178.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $137.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the critical illness recovery hospital segment was 17.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 14.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for our critical illness recovery hospital segment were driven by increases in both patient volume and net revenue per patient day, as discussed above under “Net Operating Revenues.” The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were offset, in part, by the incurrence of additional operating expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our critical illness recovery hospitals have modified certain of their protocols in order to follow the guidelines and recommendations for patient treatment and for the protection of both our patients and staff members. This has resulted in increased labor costs, including increased contracted labor usage, as well as additional costs resulting from the purchase of personal protective equipment.
43
Rehabilitation Hospital Segment. Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.7% to $66.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $55.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the rehabilitation hospital segment was 18.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 17.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were primarily attributable to our hospitals which commenced operations in 2019. We also experienced increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin at many of our existing hospitals as a result of increased patient volume and increases in net revenue per patient day. These increases were offset, in part, by declines in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in our rehabilitation hospitals in New Jersey and South Florida that implemented temporary restrictions on admissions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were also impacted by the incurrence of additional operating expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our rehabilitation hospitals have modified certain of their protocols in order to follow the guidelines and recommendations for patient treatment and for the protection of both our patients and staff members. This has resulted in increased labor costs as well as additional costs resulting from the purchase of personal protective equipment.
Prior to our rehabilitation hospitals becoming affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, our Adjusted EBITDA increased 72.5% to $27.4 million for January and February 2020, compared to $15.9 million for the same period in 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 22.4% for January and February 2020, compared to 16.1% for the same period in 2019. We experienced declines in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin during April and May 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, as a result of lower patient volume. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin improved in June 2020 as compared to both April and May 2020 and the same period in 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Adjusted EBITDA results for the rehabilitation hospital segment include start-up losses of approximately $8.8 million.
Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment. Adjusted EBITDA was $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $71.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the outpatient rehabilitation segment was 4.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 14.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were caused by a decline in visits, beginning in mid-March 2020, as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as described above. During the months of March through June 2020, our outpatient rehabilitation clinics experienced a 32.4% decrease in visits, as compared to the same period in 2019. In response to the decline in patient volume and in an effort to reduce operating expenses, we temporarily consolidated, where possible, the operations of clinics which operate within close proximity to one another and took other measures to reduce labor costs. Prior to our outpatient rehabilitation clinics becoming affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, our Adjusted EBITDA increased 33.6% to $23.1 million for January and February 2020, compared to $17.3 million for the same period in 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 12.9% for January and February 2020, compared to 10.7% for the same period in 2019. We incurred Adjusted EBITDA losses during April and May 2020 as a result of the decline in patient visits we experienced. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment generated positive Adjusted EBITDA in June 2020 as we saw improvement in patient volume.
Concentra Segment. Adjusted EBITDA was $103.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $142.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Concentra segment was 14.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 17.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decreases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were caused by a decline in visits, beginning in mid-March 2020, as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as described above. During the months of March through June 2020, our centers experienced a 26.3% decrease in visits, as compared to the same period in 2019. In response to the decline in patient volume and in an effort to reduce operating expenses, we temporarily consolidated, where possible, the operations of centers which operate within close proximity to one another, reduced the operating hours of certain centers, and took other measures to reduce labor costs. Prior to our centers becoming affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, our Adjusted EBITDA increased 11.7% to $45.5 million for January and February 2020, compared to $40.8 million for the same period in 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 16.6% for January and February 2020, compared to 15.7% for the same period in 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were most significantly impacted in April and May 2020 as a result of the decline in patient visits we experienced. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin improved in June 2020, as compared to both April and May 2020 and the same period in 2019, as we saw improvement in patient volume.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $104.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $107.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
44
Income from Operations
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had income from operations of $248.2 million, compared to $236.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in income from operations was primarily attributable to the improved operating performance of our critical illness recovery hospital segment, as well as the recognition of $55.0 million of other operating income, as discussed above.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
Our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries relates to rehabilitation businesses and other healthcare-related businesses in which we are a minority owner. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $10.9 million, compared to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Gain on Sale of Businesses
We recognized gains of $7.5 million and $6.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These gains were attributable to the sales of outpatient rehabilitation businesses.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $83.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $102.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in interest expense was principally due to a decline in variable interest rates, as well as the refinancing of our Select credit facilities, Concentra-JPM credit facilities, and senior notes during the third and fourth quarters of 2019.
Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $45.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which represented an effective tax rate of 24.7%. We recorded income tax expense of $39.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which represented an effective tax rate of 25.7%. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the lower effective tax rate resulted primarily from the discrete tax benefits realized from the exercise of certain equity options in connection with the purchase of additional membership interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent, as described under “Other Significant Events.” The impact of these tax benefits were offset, in part, by the sale of an outpatient rehabilitation business. The selling price for this business exceeded our tax basis, resulting in a taxable gain. This sale was treated as a discrete tax event for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $33.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $27.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was principally due to the operating performance of our joint venture critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals.

Operating activities provided $686.1 million of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $132.9 million of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to approximately $317.0 million of advanced payments received under the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program for Medicare providers, as well as approximately $100.5 million of payments received under the Provider Relief Fund. Refer to Note 12 – CARES Act of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further information.
Our days sales outstanding was 55 days at June 30, 2020, compared to 51 days at December 31, 2019. Our days sales outstanding was 53 days at June 30, 2019, compared to 51 days at December 31, 2018. Our days sales outstanding experiences variability throughout the collection cycle, and the trend we have observed is an increase in days sales outstanding at June 30, 2020 and 2019, as compared to our days sales outstanding at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our cash collections from accounts receivable have been ample and are expected to provide us with sufficient working capital to operate our businesses.
Investing activities used $80.6 million of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The principal uses of cash were $71.3 million for purchases of property and equipment and $21.7 million for investments in and acquisitions of businesses. This was offset in part by proceeds received from the sale of assets and businesses of $12.4 million. Investing activities used $227.5 million of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The principal uses of cash were $89.3 million for purchases of property and equipment and $138.3 million for investments in and acquisitions of businesses.
Financing activities used $431.7 million of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The principal use of cash was $366.2 million for the purchase of additional membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as discussed above under “Other Significant Events.” We also used $39.8 million of cash for the mandatory prepayment of term loans under the Select credit facilities.
Financing activities provided $43.4 million of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The principal source of cash was net borrowings of $175.0 million on the Select revolving facility. This was offset in part by $98.8 million and $33.9 million for mandatory prepayments of term loans under the Select credit facilities and Concentra-JPM credit facilities, respectively.
46
Capital Resources
Working capital. We had net working capital of $107.4 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $298.7 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease in net working capital was principally due to the purchase of additional membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent for $366.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as discussed above under “Other Significant Events.”
Select credit facilities.
In February 2020, Select made a principal prepayment of approximately $39.8 million associated with its term loans in accordance with the provision in the Select credit facilities that requires mandatory prepayments of term loans as a result of annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Select credit facilities.
At June 30, 2020, Select had outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities consisting of $2,103.4 million in term loans (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $19.7 million) (the “Select term loan”). At June 30, 2020, Select had $410.7 million of availability under its revolving facility (the “Select revolving facility”) after giving effect to $39.3 million of outstanding letters of credit.
Concentra credit facilities.
At June 30, 2020, Concentra Inc. did not have any term loan or revolving facility borrowings under its first lien credit agreement dated June 1, 2015 (together with any borrowings thereunder, the “Concentra-JPM credit facilities”). At June 30, 2020, Concentra Inc. had $85.7 million of availability under its revolving facility (the “Concentra-JPM revolving facility”) after giving effect to $14.3 million of outstanding letters of credit. Select and Holdings are not obligors with respect to Concentra Inc.’s debt under the Concentra-JPM credit facilities. At June 30, 2020, Concentra Inc. had outstanding borrowings under its intercompany loan agreement with Select of $1,199.8 million.
Stock Repurchase Program. Holdings’ board of directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $500.0 million worth of shares of its common stock. The program has been extended until December 31, 2020, and will remain in effect until then, unless further extended or earlier terminated by the board of directors. Stock repurchases under this program may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and at times and in such amounts as Holdings deems appropriate. Holdings funds this program with cash on hand and borrowings under the Select revolving facility. Holdings did not repurchase shares during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Since the inception of the program through June 30, 2020, Holdings has repurchased 38,580,908 shares at a cost of approximately $356.6 million, or $9.24 per share, which includes transaction costs.
Liquidity. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected our operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and liquidity depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time; however, we believe our internally generated cash flows, borrowing capacity under the Select and Concentra-JPM credit facilities, and other measures to enhance our liquidity position that we have taken, as described below, will allow us to finance our operations over the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $509.7 million, availability of $410.7 million under the Select revolving facility after giving effect to $39.3 million of outstanding letters of credit, and availability of $85.7 million under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility after giving effect to $14.3 million of outstanding letters of credit.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act, which is explained further within “Regulatory Changes,” was enacted. The CARES Act provided additional waivers, reimbursement, grants and other funds to assist health care providers during the COVID-19 pandemic, including $100.0 billion in appropriations for the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also referred to as the Provider Relief Fund, to be used for preventing, preparing, and responding to the coronavirus, and for reimbursing eligible health care providers for lost revenues and health care related expenses that are attributable to the coronavirus. We received approximately $100.5 million of payments under the Provider Relief Fund.
In accordance with the CARES Act, CMS expanded its current Accelerated and Advance Payment Program for Medicare providers. Under this program, qualified healthcare providers could receive advanced or accelerated payments from CMS. We received approximately $317.0 million of advanced payments under this program. The majority of these payments were received in April 2020. For our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals, repayment of amounts received under the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program are due 210 days after the advanced payment was issued. Failure to repay the advanced payments when due result in interest charges on the outstanding balance owed.
The CARES Act further included a technical correction to allow for bonus depreciation on certain types of qualified property for tax years beginning January 1, 2018, and provided for an increase in the amounts allowed for interest expense deductions for tax years beginning January 1, 2019. As a result of these provisions, we expect to reduce our estimated tax payments during 2020 by approximately $20.0 million.
47
Additionally, we have taken other temporary measures to reduce operating costs and expenses. These measures have included reducing labor costs through employee furloughs, salary and wage reductions for certain employees, and reducing the hours worked by part time employees, as well as limiting discretionary spending on capital expenditures. Further, we are deferring payment on our share of payroll taxes owed, as allowed by the CARES Act. Many of these initiatives will be curtailed as we see improvement in patient volumes.
At June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with each of our financial covenants. As of June 30, 2020, Select’s leverage ratio (its ratio of total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters), which is required to be maintained at less than 7.00 to 1.00 under the terms of the Select revolving facility, was 4.01 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2020, we do not anticipate events or circumstances which would preclude us from complying with our financial covenants in the future or prevent us from making interest and principal payments when due. Select is not required to make further principal payments on the Select term loan until September 30, 2023 and its senior notes are due August 15, 2026. Concentra is not required to make further principal payments on its intercompany term loan with Select until its maturity on June 1, 2022. The Select and Concentra-JPM revolving credit facilities mature on March 6, 2024 and March 1, 2022, respectively. Our ability to comply with our financial covenants and obligations outlined within our debt agreements can be affected by various risks and uncertainties. Please refer to our risk factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q and as previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 for further discussion.
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, may be funded from operating cash flows or other sources and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Use of Capital Resources. We may from time to time pursue opportunities to develop new joint venture relationships with significant health systems and other healthcare providers. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics and occupational health centers in local areas that we currently serve where we can benefit from existing referral relationships and brand awareness to produce incremental growth. In addition to our development activities, we may grow through opportunistic acquisitions.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our variable rate long-term indebtedness. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to the loans outstanding under the Select credit facilities and Concentra-JPM revolving facility.
At June 30, 2020, Select had outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities consisting of the $2,103.4 million Select term loan (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $19.7 million). At June 30, 2020, Select did not have any borrowings under the Select revolving facility.
At June 30, 2020, Concentra Inc. did not have any borrowings under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility.
As of June 30, 2020, each 0.25% increase in market interest rates will impact the interest expense on our variable rate debt by $5.3 million per annum.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered in this report. Based on this evaluation, as of June 30, 2020, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, including the accumulation and communication of disclosure to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure, are effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the relevant SEC rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a party to various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (some of which are not insured), and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations in the ordinary course of its business. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, proceedings, and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations. These matters could potentially subject the Company to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines, and other penalties. The Department of Justice, CMS, or other federal and state enforcement and regulatory agencies may conduct additional investigations related to the Company’s businesses in the future that may, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.
To address claims arising out of the Company’s operations, the Company maintains professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance coverages through a number of different programs that are dependent upon such factors as the state where the Company is operating and whether the operations are wholly owned or are operated through a joint venture. For the Company’s wholly owned operations, the Company currently maintains insurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of up to $40.0 million. The Company’s insurance for the professional liability coverage is written on a “claims-made” basis, and its commercial general liability coverage is maintained on an “occurrence” basis. These coverages apply after a self-insured retention limit is exceeded. For the Company’s joint venture operations, the Company has designed a separate insurance program that responds to the risks of the specific joint venture. The Company’s joint ventures are insured under a master program with an annual aggregate limit of up to $80.0 million, subject to a sublimit aggregate ranging from $23.0 million to $33.0 million for each specific joint venture. The policies are generally written on a “claims-made” basis. Each of these programs has either a deductible or self-insured retention limit. The Company reviews its insurance program annually and may make adjustments to the amount of insurance coverage and self-insured retentions in future years. The Company also maintains umbrella liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered by the Company’s other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. Significant legal actions, as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance, could subject the Company to substantial uninsured liabilities. In the Company’s opinion, the outcome of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Healthcare providers are subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether or not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. The Company is and has been a defendant in these cases in the past, and may be named as a defendant in similar cases from time to time in the future.
Wilmington Litigation. On January 19, 2017, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware unsealed a qui tam Complaint in United States of America and State of Delaware ex rel. Theresa Kelly v. Select Specialty Hospital-Wilmington, Inc., Select Specialty Hospitals, Inc., Select Employment Services, Inc., Select Medical Corporation, and Crystal Cheek, No. 16‑347‑LPS. The Complaint was initially filed under seal in May 2016 by a former chief nursing officer at SSH-Wilmington and was unsealed after the United States filed a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention in January 2017. The corporate defendants were served in March 2017. In the complaint, the plaintiff-relator alleges that the Select defendants and an individual defendant, who is a former health information manager at SSH-Wilmington, violated the False Claims Act and the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act based on allegedly falsifying medical practitioner signatures on medical records and failing to properly examine the credentials of medical practitioners at SSH-Wilmington. In response to the Select defendants’ motion to dismiss the Complaint, in May 2017 the plaintiff-relator filed an Amended Complaint asserting the same causes of action. The Select defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint based on numerous grounds, including that the Amended Complaint did not plead any alleged fraud with sufficient particularity, failed to plead that the alleged fraud was material to the government’s payment decision, failed to plead sufficient facts to establish that the Select defendants knowingly submitted false claims or records, and failed to allege any reverse false claim. In March 2018, the District Court dismissed the plaintiff-relator’s claims related to the alleged failure to properly examine medical practitioners’ credentials, her reverse false claims allegations, and her claim that defendants violated the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act. It denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss claims that the allegedly falsified medical practitioner signatures violated the False Claims Act. Separately, the District Court dismissed the individual defendant due to plaintiff-relator’s failure to timely serve the amended complaint upon her.
50
In March 2017, the plaintiff-relator initiated a second action by filing a Complaint in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in Theresa Kelly v. Select Medical Corporation, Select Employment Services, Inc., and SSH-Wilmington, C.A. No. N17C-03-293 CLS. The Delaware Complaint alleges that the defendants retaliated against her in violation of the Delaware Whistleblowers’ Protection Act for reporting the same alleged violations that are the subject of the federal Amended Complaint. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss, or alternatively to stay, the Delaware Complaint based on the pending federal Amended Complaint and the failure to allege facts to support a violation of the Delaware Whistleblowers’ Protection Act. In January 2018, the Court stayed the Delaware Complaint pending the outcome of the federal case.
The Company intends to vigorously defend these actions, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
Contract Therapy Subpoena. On May 18, 2017, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey seeking various documents principally relating to the Company’s contract therapy division, which contracted to furnish rehabilitation therapy services to residents of skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and other providers. The Company operated its contract therapy division through a subsidiary until March 31, 2016, when the Company sold the stock of the subsidiary. The subpoena seeks documents that appear to be aimed at assessing whether therapy services were furnished and billed in compliance with Medicare SNF billing requirements, including whether therapy services were coded at inappropriate levels and whether excessive or unnecessary therapy was furnished to justify coding at higher paying levels. The Company does not know whether the subpoena has been issued in connection with a qui tam lawsuit or in connection with possible civil, criminal or administrative proceedings by the government. The Company has produced documents in response to the subpoena and intends to fully cooperate with this investigation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
Ann Arbor Complaint. On May 12, 2020, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan unsealed qui tam Complaints in United States of America and State of Michigan ex rel. Neal Elkin v. Select Medical Holdings Corp., Select Medical, and Select Specialty Hospital – Ann Arbor, Inc. (“SSH-Ann Arbor”), No. 12-cv-13984. An initial Complaint was filed under seal in September 2012 and a First Amended Complaint was filed under seal in September 2019. Both Complaints were unsealed after the United States and State of Michigan filed a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention in May 2020. In the First Amended Complaint, the plaintiff-relator, a physician formerly practicing at SSH-Ann Arbor, alleges that the defendants had a policy to keep respiratory patients on ventilators longer than medically necessary in order to increase reimbursement, and that, after he complained of this practice, SSH-Ann Arbor retaliated by refusing to assign new patients to him. The First Amended Complaint has not yet been served on the defendants. If the plaintiff-relator serves the First Amended Complaint and pursues this action, the Company intends to vigorously defend this action; however, at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The risk factors set forth in this report update, and should be read together with, the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Risks Related to Our Business
The unpredictable effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the duration and extent of disruption on our operations, creates significant uncertainties about our future operating results and financial condition.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt our business and results of operations, financial position, and cash flows will depend on a number of evolving factors and future developments that we are not able to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration of the outbreak; further actions by governmental authorities and the private sector to limit the spread of COVID-19; continued encouragement to social distance; and the economic impact on our patients and the communities we serve as a result of containment efforts. The adverse impacts of COVID-19 on our business may also exacerbate other risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Our hospitals may experience declines in their occupancy in future months in order protect both our patients and staff members and to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within our hospitals. Our rehabilitation hospitals may experience declines in patient volume if governmental authorities and health departments continue to suspend or resume suspension of elective surgeries at hospitals and other facilities. Our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals may experience constrained staffing levels and increased operating costs resulting from increased usage of contract clinical labor due to the overwhelming need for healthcare professionals, particularly in areas which are heavily impacted by the pandemic. Our hospitals may also experience increased operating costs resulting from shortages of medical supplies, including personal protective equipment, and supply chain disruptions.
In our outpatient rehabilitation clinics and Concentra centers, we may continue to experience declines in demand for our services if governmental authorities continue to mandate or resume mandates requiring the temporary closure of non-essential and non-life sustaining businesses. Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics may experience reductions in patient volume if governmental authorities and health departments continue to suspend or resume suspension of elective surgeries which would typically result in a patient seeking outpatient services and if the operations of our referral sources experience disruption as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our clinics may continue to experience a decline in workers’ compensation injury visits as a result of business closures and our Concentra centers may continue to experience a reduction in workers’ compensation and employer services visits as a result of businesses furloughing their workforce and temporarily ceasing and reducing operations.
Our future results of operations and financial condition depend upon, among other things, the operating costs we face and the demand for our services. To the extent that we face increased operating costs and declines in demand for our services as a result of the adverse impacts of COVID-19, our ability to comply with financial covenants and obligations under the Select credit facilities, the Concentra-JPM credit facilities and the indenture governing our senior notes in future periods, as well as our ability to pay amounts due to WCAS and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent or DHHC in connection with their Put Right (as defined below), if exercised, may be adversely affected. Risks related to our capital structure are described further in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
