SELECT MEDICAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SELECT MEDICAL 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 March 31, 2018, and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, 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 months ended March 31, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. 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, 2017, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2018.
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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016‑02, Leases. This ASU includes a lessee accounting model that recognizes two types of leases: finance and operating. This ASU requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. Lessees will need to recognize almost all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained the dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as finance or operating lease. For short‑term leases of twelve months or less, lessees are permitted to make an accounting election by class of underlying asset not to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities. If the alternative is elected, lease expense would be recognized generally on the straight‑line basis over the respective lease term.
The amendments in ASU 2016-02 will take effect for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. A modified retrospective approach is required for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements.
Upon adoption, the Company will recognize significant assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of the operating lease obligations of the Company. Operating lease expense will still be recognized as rent expense on a straight‑line basis over the respective lease terms in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company will implement the new standard beginning January 1, 2019. The Company’s implementation efforts are focused on designing accounting processes, disclosure processes, and internal controls in order to account for its leases under the new standard.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Beginning in May 2014, the FASB issued several Accounting Standards Updates which established Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the “standard”). This standard supersedes existing revenue recognition requirements and seeks to eliminate most industry-specific guidance under current GAAP. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018, using the full retrospective transition method. Adoption of the revenue recognition standard impacted the Company’s reported results as follows:

The Company has presented the applicable disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers in Note 7.
Income Taxes
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740), and Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. Previous GAAP prohibited the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The ASU requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra‑entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2018. Adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3.  Acquisitions
U.S. HealthWorks Acquisition
On February 1, 2018, Concentra Inc. (“Concentra”) acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of U.S. HealthWorks, Inc. (“U.S. HealthWorks”), an occupational medicine and urgent care service provider, pursuant to the terms of an Equity Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of October 22, 2017, by and among Concentra, U.S. HealthWorks, Concentra Group Holdings, LLC (“Concentra Group Holdings”), Concentra Group Holdings Parent, LLC (“Concentra Group Holdings Parent”) and Dignity Health Holding Corporation (“DHHC”). For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized $2.9 million of U.S. HealthWorks acquisition costs which are included in general and administrative expense.
In connection with the closing of the transaction, Concentra Group Holdings made distributions to its equity holders and redeemed certain of its outstanding equity interests from existing minority equity holders. Subsequently, Concentra Group Holdings and a wholly owned subsidiary of Concentra Group Holdings Parent merged, with Concentra Group Holdings surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Concentra Group Holdings Parent. As a result of the merger, the equity interests of Concentra Group Holdings outstanding after the redemption described above were exchanged for membership interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent.
Concentra acquired U.S. HealthWorks for $753.0 million. The Purchase Agreement provides for certain post-closing adjustments for cash, indebtedness, transaction expenses, and working capital. DHHC, a subsidiary of Dignity Health, was issued a 20% equity interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent, which was valued at $238.0 million. The remainder of the purchase price was paid in cash. Select retained a majority voting interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent following the closing of the transaction.
For the U.S. HealthWorks acquisition, the Company allocated the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company is in the process of completing its assessment of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and determining the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets; therefore, the values set forth below are subject to adjustment during the measurement period. The amount of these potential adjustments could be significant. The Company expects to complete its purchase price allocation activities by December 31, 2018.
The following table reconciles the preliminary allocation of estimated fair value to identifiable net assets and goodwill to the consideration given for the acquired business (in thousands):
Identifiable tangible assets

184,357

Goodwill

Consideration given
$
753,000

A preliminary estimate for goodwill of $535.6 million has been recognized for the business combination, representing the excess of the consideration given over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. The value of goodwill is derived from U.S. HealthWorks’ future earnings potential and its assembled workforce. Goodwill has been assigned to the Concentra reporting unit and is not deductible for tax purposes. However, prior to its acquisition by the Company, U.S. HealthWorks completed certain acquisitions that resulted in tax deductible goodwill with an estimated value of $83.1 million, which the Company will deduct through 2032.
For the period February 1, 2018 through March 31, 2018, U.S. HealthWorks had net operating revenues of $89.9 million which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Due to the integrated nature of our operations, it is not practicable to separately identify earnings of U.S. HealthWorks on a stand-alone basis.

Pro Forma Results
The following pro forma unaudited results of operations have been prepared assuming the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks occurred on January 1, 2017. These results are not necessarily indicative of results of future operations nor of the results that would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated on the aforementioned date.

 The pro forma financial information is based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the U.S. HealthWorks acquisition and is therefore subject to adjustment upon finalizing the purchase price allocation, as described above, during the measurement period. The net income tax impact was calculated at a statutory rate, as if U.S. HealthWorks had been a subsidiary of the Company as of January 1, 2017.
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, pro forma results were adjusted to include the U.S. HealthWorks acquisition costs recognized by the Company during 2017 and 2018, which were approximately $5.8 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, pro forma results were adjusted to exclude approximately $2.9 million of U.S. HealthWorks acquisition costs which were recognized by the Company during the period.

 The Company’s accreditations and indefinite-lived trademarks have renewal terms and the costs to renew these intangible assets are expensed as incurred. At March 31, 2018, the accreditations and indefinite-lived trademarks have a weighted average time until next renewal of 1.5 years and 8.9 years, respectively.
The Company’s customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and U.S. HealthWorks trademarks amortize over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense was $4.4 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
The Company’s leasehold interests have finite lives and are amortized to rent expense over the remaining term of their respective leases to reflect a market rent per period based upon the market conditions present at the acquisition date.

 Select Credit Facilities
On March 22, 2018, Select entered into Amendment No. 1 to the senior secured credit agreement (the “Select credit agreement”) dated March 6, 2017. The Select credit agreement originally provided for $1.6 billion in senior secured credit facilities comprised of $1.15 billion in term loans (the “Select term loans”) and a $450.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Select revolving facility” and together with the Select term loans, the “Select credit facilities”), including a $75.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit.
Amendment No. 1 (i) decreases the applicable interest rate on the Select term loans from the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement and subject to an Adjusted LIBO floor of 1.00%) plus 3.50% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75%, or from the Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement and subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%) plus 2.50% to the Alternative Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case based on Select’s total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Select credit agreement); (ii) decreases the applicable interest rate on the loans outstanding under the Select revolving credit facility from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 3.00% to 3.25% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75%, or from the Alternative Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.00% to 2.25% to the Alternative Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case based on Select’s total net leverage ratio; (iii) extends the maturity date for the Select term loans from March 6, 2024 to March 6, 2025; and (iv) makes certain other technical amendments to the Select credit agreement as set forth therein.
Concentra Credit Facilities
Concentra First Lien Credit Agreement
On February 1, 2018, Concentra entered into an amendment to its first lien credit agreement (the “Concentra first lien credit agreement”), dated June 1, 2015, by and among Concentra, as the borrower, Concentra Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of Concentra Group Holdings Parent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent and the collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto. Concentra used borrowings under the Concentra first lien credit agreement and the Concentra second lien credit agreement, as described below, together with cash on hand, to pay the purchase price for all of the issued and outstanding stock of U.S. HealthWorks to DHHC and to finance the redemption and reorganization transactions executed under the Purchase Agreement (as described in Note 3), as well as to pay fees and expenses associated with the financing.
Concentra amended the Concentra first lien credit agreement to, among other things, provide for (i) an additional $555.0 million in tranche B term loans that, along with the existing tranche B term loans under the Concentra first lien credit agreement, have a maturity date of June 1, 2022 (collectively, the “Concentra first lien term loan”) and (ii) an additional $25.0 million to the $50.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility under the terms of the existing Concentra first lien credit agreement. The tranche B term loans bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 2.75% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%) for Eurodollar Borrowings (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement), or Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 1.75% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%) for ABR Borrowings (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement). All other material terms and conditions applicable to the original tranche B term loan commitments are applicable to the additional tranche B term loans created under the Concentra first lien credit agreement.

Concentra Second Lien Credit Agreement
On February 1, 2018, Concentra entered into a second lien credit agreement (the “Concentra second lien credit agreement” and, together with the Concentra first lien credit agreement, the “Concentra credit facilities”) with Concentra Holdings, Inc., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent and the collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto.
The Concentra second lien credit agreement provides for $240.0 million in term loans (the “Concentra second lien term loan” and, together with the Concentra first lien term loan, the “Concentra term loans”) with a maturity date of June 1, 2023. Borrowings under the Concentra second lien credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) plus 6.50% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%), or Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) plus 5.50% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%).
In the event that, on or prior to February 1, 2019, Concentra prepays any of the Concentra second lien term loan to refinance such term loans, Concentra shall pay a premium of 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Concentra second lien term loan prepaid. If Concentra prepays any of the Concentra second lien term loan to refinance such term loans on or prior to February 1, 2020, Concentra shall pay a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Concentra second lien term loan prepaid.
Concentra will be required to prepay borrowings under the Concentra second lien term loan with (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions, or as a result of a casualty or condemnation, subject to reinvestment provisions and other customary carveouts and the payment of certain indebtedness secured by liens, (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the issuance of debt obligations other than certain permitted debt obligations, and (iii) 50% of excess cash flow (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) if Concentra’s leverage ratio is greater than 4.25 to 1.00 and 25% of excess cash flow if Concentra’s leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00 and greater than 3.75 to 1.00, in each case, reduced by the aggregate amount of term loans and certain debt optionally prepaid during the applicable fiscal year and the aggregate amount of senior revolving commitments reduced permanently during the applicable fiscal year (other than in connection with a refinancing). Concentra will not be required to prepay borrowings with excess cash flow if Concentra’s leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00.
The Concentra second lien credit agreement also contains a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on mergers, consolidations and dissolutions; sales of assets; investments and acquisitions; indebtedness; liens; affiliate transactions; and dividends and restricted payments. The Concentra second lien credit agreement contains events of default for non-payment of principal and interest when due (subject to a grace period for interest), cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions and an event of default that would be triggered by a change of control.
The borrowings under the Concentra second lien term loan are guaranteed, on a second lien basis, by Concentra Holdings, Inc., Concentra, and certain domestic subsidiaries of Concentra and will be guaranteed by Concentra’s future domestic subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries and Consolidated Practices, each as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement). The borrowings under the Concentra second lien term loan are secured by substantially all of Concentra’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ existing and future property and assets and by a pledge of Concentra’s capital stock, the capital stock of certain of Concentra’s domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of Concentra’s foreign subsidiaries, if any.
Loss on Early Retirement of Debt
The amendments to the Select credit facilities and Concentra credit facilities resulted in losses on early retirement of debt totaling $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The losses on early retirement of debt consisted of $0.4 million of debt extinguishment losses and $9.9 million of debt modification losses during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Fair Value
The Company considers the inputs in the valuation process to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy for Select’s 6.375% senior notes and for its 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 values of the Select credit facilities and the Concentra credit facilities were based on quoted market prices for this debt in the syndicated loan market. The fair value of Select’s 6.375% senior notes was based on quoted market prices. The carrying amount of other debt, principally short-term notes payable, approximates fair value.

6.  Segment Information
The Company identifies its operating segments according to how the chief operating decision maker evaluates financial performance and allocates resources. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company changed its internal segment reporting structure which is reflective of how the Company now manages its business operations, reviews operating performance, and allocates resources. The Company’s reportable segments include long term acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, and Concentra. Prior year results for the three months ended March 31, 2017, presented herein have been recast to conform to the current presentation. The Company previously disclosed financial information for the following reportable segments: specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation, and Concentra.
Other activities include the Company’s corporate shared services and certain other non-consolidating joint ventures and minority investments in other healthcare related businesses. The Company evaluates performance of the segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, acquisition costs associated with U.S. HealthWorks, non-operating gain (loss), and equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries. The Company has provided additional information regarding its reportable segments, such as total assets, which contributes to the understanding of the Company and provides useful information to the users of the consolidated financial statements.
The following tables summarize selected financial data for the Company’s reportable segments. The segment results of Holdings are identical to those of Select.

Patient Services Revenue
Patient services revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied; generally, this occurs as the Company provides healthcare services, as each service provided is distinct and future services rendered are not dependent on previously rendered services. Patient service revenues are recognized at an amount equal to the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for providing healthcare services to its patients. These amounts are due from patients; third-party payors, including health insurers and government programs; and other payors.
Medicare: Medicare is a federal program that provides medical insurance benefits to persons age 65 and over, some disabled persons, and persons with end stage renal disease. Amounts we receive for treatment of patients covered by the Medicare program are generally less than the standard billing rates; accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue based on amounts which are reimbursable by Medicare under prospective payment systems and provisions of cost-reimbursement and other payment methods. The amount reimbursed is derived based on the type of services provided.
Non-Medicare: The Company is reimbursed for healthcare services provided from various other payor sources which include insurance companies, workers’ compensation programs, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, other managed care companies and employers, as well as patients. The Company is reimbursed by these payors using a variety of payment methodologies and the amounts the Company receives are generally less than the standard billing rates.
In the long term acute care and inpatient rehabilitation segments, the Company recognizes revenue based on known contractual provisions associated with the specific payor or, where the Company has a relatively homogeneous patient population, the Company will monitor individual payors’ historical reimbursement rates to derive a per diem rate which is used to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized for services rendered.
In the outpatient rehabilitation and Concentra segments, the Company recognizes revenue from payors based on known contractual provisions, negotiated amounts, or usual and customary amounts associated with the specific payor. The Company performs provision testing, using internally developed systems, whereby the Company monitors a payors’ historical reimbursement rates and compares them against the associated gross charges for the service provided. The percentage of historical reimbursed claims to gross charges is utilized to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized for services rendered.

17


The Company is subject to potential retrospective adjustments to net operating revenues in future periods for matters related to claims processing and other price concessions. These adjustments, which are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience by payor source, are accounted for as a constraint to the amount of revenue recognized by the Company in the period services are rendered.
Other Revenues
The Company recognizes revenue for services provided to healthcare institutions, principally management and employee leasing services, under contractual arrangements with related parties affiliated through the Company’s equity investments and other third-party healthcare institutions. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied. Revenues from these services are measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for those services.
8.
Income Taxes
In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law which made significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. These changes included a corporate tax rate decrease from 35.0% to 21.0% effective after December 31, 2017. Reconciliations of the statutory federal income tax rate to the effective income tax rate are as follows:

10.  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 maintains insurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of $35.0 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 numerous programs that are designed to respond to the risks of the specific joint venture. The annual aggregate limit under these programs ranges from $5.0 million to $20.0 million. 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.
 Evansville Litigation.    On October 19, 2015, the plaintiff‑relators filed a Second Amended Complaint in United States of America, ex rel. Tracy Conroy, Pamela Schenk and Lisa Wilson v. Select Medical Corporation, Select Specialty Hospital-Evansville, LLC (“SSH‑Evansville”), Select Employment Services, Inc., and Dr. Richard Sloan. The case is a civil action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana by private plaintiff‑relators on behalf of the United States under the federal False Claims Act. The plaintiff‑relators are the former CEO and two former case managers at SSH‑Evansville, and the defendants currently include the Company, SSH‑Evansville, a subsidiary of the Company serving as common paymaster for its employees, and a physician who practices at SSH‑Evansville. The plaintiff‑relators allege that SSH‑Evansville discharged patients too early or held patients too long, improperly discharged patients to and readmitted them from short stay hospitals, up‑coded diagnoses at admission, and admitted patients for whom long‑term acute care was not medically necessary. They also allege that the defendants engaged in retaliation in violation of federal and state law. The Second Amended Complaint replaced a prior complaint that was filed under seal on September 28, 2012 and served on the Company on February 15, 2013, after a federal magistrate judge unsealed it on January 8, 2013. All deadlines in the case had been stayed after the seal was lifted in order to allow the government time to complete its investigation and to decide whether or not to intervene. On June 19, 2015, the United States Department of Justice notified the District Court of its decision not to intervene in the case.
In December 2015, the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on multiple grounds, including that the action is disallowed by the False Claims Act’s public disclosure bar, which disqualifies qui tam actions that are based on fraud already publicly disclosed through enumerated sources, unless the relator is an original source, and that the plaintiff‑relators did not plead their claims with sufficient particularity, as required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.



19


Thereafter, the United States filed a notice asserting a veto of the defendants’ use of the public disclosure bar for claims arising from conduct from and after March 23, 2010, which was based on certain statutory changes to the public disclosure bar language included in the Affordable Care Act. On September 30, 2016, the District Court partially granted and partially denied the defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. It ruled that the plaintiff‑relators alleged substantially the same conduct as had been publicly disclosed and that the plaintiff relators are not original sources, so that the public disclosure bar requires dismissal of all non‑retaliation claims arising from conduct before March 23, 2010. The District Court also ruled that the statutory changes to the public disclosure bar gave the United States the power to veto its applicability to claims arising from conduct on and after March 23, 2010, and therefore did not dismiss those claims based on the public disclosure bar. However, the District Court ruled that the plaintiff‑relators did not plead certain of their claims relating to interrupted stay manipulation and premature discharging of patients with the requisite particularity, and dismissed those claims. The District Court declined to dismiss the plaintiff relators’ claims arising from conduct from and after March 23, 2010 relating to delayed discharging of patients and up-coding and the plaintiff relators’ retaliation claims. The plaintiff-relators then proposed a case management plan seeking nationwide discovery involving all of the Company’s LTCHs for the period from March 23, 2010 through the present and allowing discovery that would facilitate the use of statistical sampling to prove liability, which the defendants opposed. In April 2018, a U.S. magistrate judge ruled that plaintiff‑relators’ discovery will be limited to only SSH-Evansville for the period from March 23, 2010 through September 30, 2016, and that the plaintiff‑relators will be required to prove the fraud that they allege on a claim-by-claim basis, rather than using statistical sampling. The plaintiff-relators have appealed this decision to the District Judge.
The Company intends to vigorously defend this action, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
Knoxville Litigation.    On July 13, 2015, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee unsealed a qui tam Complaint in Armes v. Garman, et al, No. 3:14‑cv‑00172‑TAV‑CCS, which named as defendants Select, Select Specialty Hospital-Knoxville, Inc. (“SSH‑Knoxville”), Select Specialty Hospital-North Knoxville, Inc. and ten current or former employees of these facilities. The Complaint was unsealed after the United States and the State of Tennessee notified the court on July 13, 2015 that each had decided not to intervene in the case. The Complaint is a civil action that was filed under seal on April 29, 2014 by a respiratory therapist formerly employed at SSH‑Knoxville. The Complaint alleges violations of the federal False Claims Act and the Tennessee Medicaid False Claims Act based on extending patient stays to increase reimbursement and to increase average length of stay; artificially prolonging the lives of patients to increase Medicare reimbursements and decrease inspections; admitting patients who do not require medically necessary care; performing unnecessary procedures and services; and delaying performance of procedures to increase billing. The Complaint was served on some of the defendants during October 2015.
In November 2015, the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint on multiple grounds. The defendants first argued that False Claims Act’s first‑to‑file bar required dismissal of plaintiff‑relator’s claims. Under the first‑to‑file bar, if a qui tam case is pending, no person may bring a related action based on the facts underlying the first action. The defendants asserted that the plaintiff‑relator’s claims were based on the same underlying facts as were asserted in the Evansville litigation, discussed above. The defendants also argued that the plaintiff‑relator’s claims must be dismissed under the public disclosure bar, and because the plaintiff‑relator did not plead his claims with sufficient particularity.
In June 2016, the District Court granted the defendants’ Motion to Dismiss and dismissed with prejudice the plaintiff‑relator’s lawsuit in its entirety. The District Court ruled that the first‑to‑file bar precludes all but one of the plaintiff‑relator’s claims, and that the remaining claim must also be dismissed because the plaintiff‑relator failed to plead it with sufficient particularity. In July 2016, the plaintiff‑relator filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Then, on October 11, 2016, the plaintiff‑relator filed a Motion to Remand the case to the District Court for further proceedings, arguing that the September 30, 2016 decision in the Evansville litigation, discussed above, undermines the basis for the District Court’s dismissal. After the Court of Appeals denied the Motion to Remand, the plaintiff‑relator then sought an indicative ruling from the District Court that it would vacate its prior dismissal ruling and allow plaintiff‑relator to supplement his Complaint, but the District Court denied such request. In December 2017, the Court of Appeals, relying on the public disclosure bar, denied the appeal of the plaintiff‑relator and affirmed the judgment of the District Court. In February 2018, the Court of Appeals denied a petition for rehearing that the plaintiff-relator filed in January 2018.
The Company intends to vigorously defend this action, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

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 defendant’s 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 is producing 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.
Northern District of Alabama Investigation
On October 30, 2017, the Company was contacted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Alabama to request cooperation in connection with an investigation that may involve Medicare billing compliance at certain of the Company’s Physiotherapy outpatient rehabilitation clinics. In March 2018, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Alabama informed the Company that it has closed its investigation.

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, 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:
changes in government reimbursement for our services and/or new payment policies (including, for example, the expiration of the moratorium limiting the full application of the 25 Percent Rule that would reduce our Medicare payments for those patients admitted to a long term acute care hospital from a referring hospital in excess of an applicable percentage admissions threshold) may result in a reduction in net operating revenues, an increase in costs, and a reduction in profitability;
the failure of our long term acute 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 long term acute 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 the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks by Concentra 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 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

29


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, 2017, as such risk factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC.
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 have grown to be one of the largest operators of long term acute care hospitals (“LTCHs”), inpatient rehabilitation facilities (“IRFs”), outpatient rehabilitation clinics and occupational health centers in the United States based on the number of facilities. As of March 31, 2018, we operated 99 LTCHs in 27 states, 24 IRFs in 10 states, and 1,617 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 37 states and the District of Columbia. Concentra, which is operated through a joint venture subsidiary, operated 531 occupational health centers in 41 states as of March 31, 2018 after giving effect to the closing of the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks on February 1, 2018. Concentra also provides contract services at employer worksites and Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinics, or “CBOCs.” As of March 31, 2018, we had operations in 47 states and the District of Columbia.
In 2017, we changed our internal segment reporting structure to reflect how we now manage our business operations, review operating performance, and allocate resources. Our reportable segments include long term acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, and Concentra. Prior year results for the three months ended March 31, 2017, presented herein have been recast to conform to the current presentation. Previously, we disclosed our financial information in three reportable segments: specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation, and Concentra.
We had net operating revenues of $1,253.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Of this total, we earned approximately 37% of our net operating revenues from our long term acute care segment, approximately 14% from our inpatient rehabilitation segment, approximately 21% from our outpatient rehabilitation segment, and approximately 28% from our Concentra segment. Patients are typically admitted to the Company’s LTCHs and IRFs from general acute care hospitals. These patients have specialized needs, with serious and often complex medical conditions. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics that provide physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation services. Our Concentra segment consists of occupational health centers and contract services provided at employer worksites that deliver occupational medicine, physical therapy, and consumer health services. Additionally, our Concentra segment delivers veteran’s healthcare through its Department of Veterans Affairs CBOCs.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 calculations, 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, acquisition costs associated with U.S. HealthWorks, non-operating gain (loss), 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.

Significant Events
Acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks
On February 1, 2018, Concentra acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of U.S. HealthWorks, an occupational medicine and urgent care provider, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
In connection with the closing of the transaction, Concentra Group Holdings made distributions to its equity holders and redeemed certain of its outstanding equity interests from existing minority equity holders. Subsequently, Concentra Group Holdings and a wholly owned subsidiary of Concentra Group Holdings Parent merged, with Concentra Group Holdings surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Concentra Group Holdings Parent. As a result of the merger, the equity interests of Concentra Group Holdings outstanding after the redemption described above were exchanged for membership interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent.
Concentra acquired U.S. HealthWorks for $753.0 million. The Purchase Agreement provides for certain post-closing adjustments for cash, indebtedness, transaction expenses, and working capital. DHHC, a subsidiary of Dignity Health, was issued a 20% equity interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent, which was valued at $238.0 million. Select retained a majority voting interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent following the closing of the transaction.
Concentra used borrowings under the Concentra first lien credit agreement and the Concentra second lien credit agreement, as described below, together with cash on hand, to pay the purchase price for all of the issued and outstanding stock of U.S. HealthWorks to DHHC, to finance the redemption and reorganization transactions executed under the Purchase Agreement, and to pay fees and expenses associated with the financing.

Amendment to the Concentra Credit Facilities
On February 1, 2018, in connection with the transactions executed under the Purchase Agreement, Concentra amended the Concentra first lien credit agreement to, among other things, provide for (i) an additional $555.0 million in tranche B term loans that, along with the existing tranche B term loans under the Concentra first lien credit agreement, have a maturity date of June 1, 2022 and (ii) an additional $25.0 million to the $50.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility under the terms of the existing Concentra first lien credit agreement. The tranche B term loans bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 2.75% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%) for Eurodollar Borrowings (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement), or Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 1.75% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%) for ABR Borrowings (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement). All other material terms and conditions applicable to the original tranche B term loan commitments are applicable to the additional tranche B term loans created under the Concentra first lien credit agreement.
In addition, Concentra entered into the Concentra second lien credit agreement that provides for $240.0 million in term loans with a maturity date of June 1, 2023. Borrowings under the Concentra second lien credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) plus 6.50% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%), or Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) plus 5.50% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%).
Amendment to the Select Credit Facilities
On March 22, 2018, Select entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Select credit agreement dated March 6, 2017. Amendment No. 1 (i) decreases the applicable interest rate on the Select term loans from the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement and subject to an Adjusted LIBO floor of 1.00%) plus 3.50% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75%, or from the Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement and subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%) plus 2.50% to the Alternative Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case based on Select’s total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Select credit agreement); (ii) decreases the applicable interest rate on the loans outstanding under the Select revolving credit facility from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 3.00% to 3.25% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75%, or from the Alternative Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.00% to 2.25% to the Alternative Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case based on Select’s total net leverage ratio; (iii) extends the maturity date for the Select term loans from March 6, 2024 to March 6, 2025; and (iv) makes certain other technical amendments to the Select credit agreement as set forth therein.

Regulatory Changes
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2018, 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 28% of our net operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and 30% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Medicare Reimbursement of Long Term Acute Care Hospital Services
There have been significant regulatory changes affecting LTCHs that have affected our net operating revenues and, in some cases, caused us to change our operating models and strategies. We have been subject to regulatory changes that occur through the rulemaking procedures of CMS. All Medicare payments to our LTCHs are made in accordance with the long term care hospital prospective payment system (“LTCH-PPS”). Proposed rules specifically related to LTCHs are generally published in May, finalized in August and effective on October 1 of each year.
The following is a summary of significant changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for LTCHs which have affected our results of operations, as well as the policies and payment rates that may affect our future results of operations.
Fiscal Year 2017. On August 22, 2016, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2017 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017). The standard federal rate was set at $42,476, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2016 of $41,763. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2017 included a market basket increase of 2.8%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.3%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The fixed‑loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH‑PPS was set at $21,943, an increase from the fixed‑loss amount in the 2016 fiscal year of $16,423. The fixed‑loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site‑neutral payment rate was set at $23,573, an increase from the fixed‑loss amount in the 2016 fiscal year of $22,538.
Fiscal Year 2018. On August 14, 2017, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2018 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018). Certain errors in the final rule were corrected in a final rule published October 4, 2017. The standard federal rate was set at $41,415, a decrease from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2017 of $42,476. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2018 included a market basket increase of 2.7%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.6%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2018 was impacted further by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, which limits the update for fiscal year 2018 to 1.0%. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $27,381, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2017 fiscal year of $21,943. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate was set at $26,537, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2017 fiscal year of $23,573.
Fiscal Year 2019. On April 24, 2018, CMS released an advanced copy of the proposed 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). The standard federal rate would be set at $41,483, 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, if adopted, includes a market basket increase of 2.7%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.8%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The standard federal rate, if adopted, also includes a proposed area wage budget neutrality factor of 0.999713 and a proposed one-time permanent budget neutrality adjustment of 0.990535 in connection with the proposed elimination of the 25 Percent Rule (discussed further below). The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS, if adopted, would be set at $30,639, which is an increase 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, if adopted, would be set at $27,545, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2018 fiscal year of $26,537.

25 Percent Rule
The “25 Percent Rule” is a downward payment adjustment that applies if the percentage of Medicare patients discharged from LTCHs who were admitted from a referring hospital (regardless of whether the LTCH or LTCH satellite is co‑located with the referring hospital) exceeds the applicable percentage admissions threshold during a particular cost reporting period. Specifically, the payment rate for only Medicare patients above the percentage admissions threshold are subject to a downward payment adjustment. For Medicare patients above the applicable percentage admissions threshold, the LTCH is reimbursed at a rate equivalent to that under general acute care hospital inpatient prospective payment system, or “IPPS,” which is generally lower than LTCH-PPS rates. Cases that reach outlier status in the referring hospital do not count toward the admissions threshold and are paid under LTCH-PPS.
Current law, as amended by the 21st Century Cures Act, precludes CMS from applying the 25 Percent Rule for freestanding LTCHs to cost reporting years beginning before July 1, 2016 and for discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2016 and before October 1, 2017. In addition, current law applies higher percentage admissions thresholds under the 25 Percent Rule for most LTCHs operating as a hospital within a hospital (“HIH”) and satellites for cost reporting years beginning before July 1, 2016 and effective for discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2016 and before October 1, 2017. For freestanding LTCHs the percentage admissions threshold is suspended during the relief periods. For most HIHs and satellites the percentage admissions threshold is raised from 25% to 50% during the relief periods. In the special case of rural LTCHs, LTCHs co‑located with an urban single hospital, or LTCHs co‑located with a Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”) dominant hospital the referral percentage was raised from 50% to 75%. Grandfathered HIHs are exempt from the 25 Percent Rule regulations.
For fiscal year 2018, CMS adopted a regulatory moratorium on the implementation of the 25 Percent Rule. As a result, the 25 Percent Rule does not apply until discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2018. After the expiration of the regulatory moratorium, our LTCHs (whether freestanding, HIH or satellite) will be subject to a downward payment adjustment for any Medicare patients who were admitted from a co‑located or a non-co-located hospital and that exceed the applicable percentage admissions threshold of all Medicare patients discharged from the LTCH during the cost reporting period. These regulatory changes have the potential to cause an adverse financial impact on the net operating revenues and profitability of many of these hospitals for discharges on or after October 1, 2018.
For fiscal year 2019, CMS is proposing to eliminate the 25 Percent Rule in a budget neutral manner. CMS intends to accomplish this by adjusting the standard federal payment rates down such that the projection of aggregate LTCH payments in fiscal year 2019 would equal the projection of aggregate LTCH payments in fiscal year 2019 that would have been paid if the moratorium ended and the 25 Percent Rule went into effect on October 1, 2018. Under this proposal, the LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate is adjusted downward by a factor of 0.990535 to maintain aggregate LTCH-PPS payments at the estimated levels they would be in absence of this proposed change. As proposed, the elimination of the 25 Percent Rule would be accomplished through a one-time, permanent adjustment to the fiscal year 2019 LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate. CMS has requested public comments on the proposal to permanently eliminate the 25 Percent Rule in a budget neutral manner, or, in the alternative, the adoption of an additional one year delay on the implementation of the 25 Percent Rule with a budget neutrality adjustment.
Short Stay Outlier Policy
CMS established a different payment methodology for Medicare patients with a length of stay less than or equal to five‑sixths of the geometric average length of stay for that particular Medicare severity long-term care diagnosis-related group (“MS-LTC-DRG”), referred to as a short stay outlier, or “SSO.” For discharges before October 1, 2017, SSO cases were paid based on the lesser of (i) 100% of the average cost of the case, (ii) 120% of the MS-LTC-DRG specific per diem amount multiplied by the patient’s length of stay, (iii) the full MS-LTC-DRG payment, or (iv) a per diem rate derived from blending 120% of the MS-LTC-DRG specific per diem amount with a per diem rate based on the general acute care hospital IPPS.
The SSO rule also had a category referred to as a “very short stay outlier,” which applied to cases with a length of stay that is less than the average length of stay plus one standard deviation for the same Medicare severity diagnosis-related group (“MS-DRG”) under IPPS, referred to as the so-called “IPPS comparable threshold.” The LTCH payment for very short stay outlier cases was equivalent to the general acute care hospital IPPS per diem rate.
For fiscal year 2018, CMS adopted changes to the SSO policy such that all SSO cases discharged on or after October 1, 2017 are paid based on a per diem rate derived from blending 120% of the MS-LTC-DRG specific per diem amount with a per diem rate based on the general acute care hospital IPPS (i.e., the fourth option under the prior policy). Under this policy, as the length of stay of a SSO case increases, the percentage of the per diem payment amounts based on the full MS-LTCH-DRG standard federal payment rate increases and the percentage of the payment based on the IPPS comparable amount decreases. In addition, the very short stay outlier category was eliminated.

Medicare Reimbursement of Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Services
The following is a summary of significant changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for 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 IRFs are made in accordance with the inpatient rehabilitation facility prospective payment system (“IRF-PPS”).
Fiscal Year 2017. On August 5, 2016, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF‑PPS for fiscal year 2017 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2017 was set at $15,708, an increase from the standard payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2016 of $15,478. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2017 included a market basket increase of 2.7%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.3%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2017 to $7,984 from $8,658 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2016.
Fiscal Year 2018. On August 3, 2017, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF‑PPS for fiscal year 2018 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2018 was set at $15,838, an increase from the standard payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2017 of $15,708. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2018 included a market basket increase of 2.6%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.6%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2018 was impacted further by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, which limits the update for fiscal year 2018 to 1.0%. CMS increased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2018 to $8,679 from $7,984 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2017.
Fiscal Year 2019. On April 27, 2018, CMS released an advanced copy of the proposed 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 would be set at $16,020, 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, if adopted, would include 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 proposed to increase the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2019 to $10,509 from $8,679 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2018.
Medicare Reimbursement of Outpatient Rehabilitation Clinic Services
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 will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to an adjustment beginning in 2019 under the Merit‑Based Incentive Payment System (“MIPS”). 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 that meet certain criteria would receive annual updates of 0.75%, while all other professionals would receive annual updates of 0.25%.
Beginning in 2019, payments under the fee schedule are subject to adjustment based on performance in MIPS, which measures performance based on certain quality metrics, resource use, and meaningful use of electronic health records. Under the MIPS requirements a provider’s performance is assessed according to established performance standards and used to determine an adjustment factor that is then applied to the professional’s payment for a year. Each year from 2019 through 2024 professionals who receive a significant share of their revenues through an 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. The specifics of the MIPS and APM adjustments beginning in 2019 and 2020, respectively, will be subject to future notice and comment rule‑making.

Therapy Caps
Outpatient therapy providers reimbursed under the Medicare physician fee schedule have been subject to annual limits for therapy expenses. For example, for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2017, the annual limit on outpatient therapy services was $1,980 for combined physical and speech language pathology services and $1,980 for occupational therapy services. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 repealed the annual limits on outpatient therapy.
The annual limits for therapy expenses historically did not apply to services furnished and billed by outpatient hospital departments. However, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, and prior legislation, extended the annual limits on therapy expenses in hospital outpatient department settings through December 31, 2017. The application of annual limits to hospital outpatient department settings sunset on December 31, 2017.
Prior to calendar year 2028, all therapy claims exceeding $3,000 are subject to a manual medical review process. The $3,000 threshold is applied to physical therapy and speech therapy services combined and separately applied to occupational therapy. CMS will continue to require that an appropriate modifier be included on claims over the current exception threshold indicating that the therapy services are medically necessary. Beginning in 2028 and in each calendar year thereafter, the threshold amount for claims requiring manual medical review will increase by the percentage increase in the Medicare Economic Index.
Critical Accounting Matters
Revenue Adjustments
Net operating revenues include amounts estimated by us to be reimbursable by Medicare under prospective payment systems and provisions of cost-reimbursement and other payment methods. The amount reimbursed is derived based on the type of services provided. Additionally, we are reimbursed for healthcare services provided from various other payor sources which include insurance companies, workers’ compensation programs, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, other managed care companies and employers, as well as patients. We are reimbursed by these payors using a variety of payment methodologies.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, we recognize a contractual allowance based on the difference between our standard billing rates and the fees legislated, negotiated or otherwise arranged between us and our patients. Additionally, we are subject to potential retrospective adjustments to net operating revenues in future periods for matters related to claims processing and other price concessions. These adjustments, which are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience by payor source, are also recognized as a constraint to revenue in the period services are rendered. Under the previous standard, these adjustments were recorded as bad debt expense.
In the long term acute care and inpatient rehabilitation segments, we derive our contractual allowances based on known contractual provisions associated with the specific payor or, where we have a relatively homogeneous patient population, we will monitor individual payors’ historical reimbursement rates to derive a per diem rate. The per diem rate is used to derive the contractual allowance recognized in the period services are rendered. In the outpatient rehabilitation and Concentra segments, we derive our contractual allowances based on known contractual provisions, negotiated amounts, or usual and customary amounts associated with the specific payor. We estimate our contractual allowances using internally developed systems in which we monitor a payors’ historical reimbursement rates and compare them against the associated gross charges for the service provided. The percentage of historical reimbursed claims to gross charges is used to derive the contractual allowance recognized in the period services are rendered. In each of our segments, estimates for potential retrospective adjustments are recognized as an additional contractual allowance during the period services are rendered.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2018, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
In the following, we discuss our results of operations related to net operating revenues, operating expenses, Adjusted EBITDA, depreciation and amortization, income from operations, loss on early retirement of debt, equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, interest expense, income taxes, and net income attributable to non-controlling interests, which, in each case, are the same for Holdings and Select.
Net Operating Revenues
Our net operating revenues increased 14.8% to $1,253.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $1,091.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Long Term Acute Care Segment.    Net operating revenues increased 4.4% to $464.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $445.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net operating revenues was principally due to an increase in patient volumes during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Our patient days increased 4.2% to 265,840 days for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 255,097 days for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Additionally, our occupancy increased to 71% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 68% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our net revenue per patient day was $1,730 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $1,731 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Inpatient Rehabilitation Segment.    Net operating revenues increased 20.7% to $174.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $144.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net operating revenues was principally attributable to an increase in patient volumes during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Our patient days increased 23.5% to 76,890 days for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 62,268 days for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increases in net operating revenues and patient days were principally due to the maturation of our inpatient rehabilitation hospitals which commenced operations during 2016 and 2017. Additionally, occupancy increased to 75% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 70% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our net revenue per patient day increased 7.0% to $1,623 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $1,517 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This increase was principally attributable to an increase in reimbursement rates with our commercial payors.
Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment.    Net operating revenues increased 2.8% to $257.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $250.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net operating revenues was principally attributable to an increase in our net revenue per visit, which increased 4.0% to $103 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $99 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in our net revenue per visit was primarily due to reimbursement rate increases related to contract renewals with some of our payors. Visits were 2,067,465 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 2,075,790 visits for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in visits occurred primarily within regions impacted by severe winter weather conditions.
Concentra Segment.    Net operating revenues increased 42.1% to $356.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $250.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net operating revenues was principally due to the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks on February 1, 2018, which contributed $89.9 million of net operating revenues during the quarter. Visits in our centers increased 37.6% to 2,596,059 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 1,886,815 visits for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Net revenue per visit increased 6.9% to $124 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $116 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net revenue per visit was driven principally by U.S. HealthWorks, which yield higher per visit rates, as well as an increase in workers’ compensation reimbursement rates in our existing Concentra centers.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist principally of cost of services and general and administrative expenses. Our operating expenses were $1,097.6 million, or 87.6% of net operating revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $957.2 million, or 87.8% of net operating revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our cost of services, a major component of which is labor expense, was $1,065.8 million, or 85.1% of net operating revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $929.1 million, or 85.2% of net operating revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in our operating expenses relative to our net operating revenues was principally due to improved operating performance in our inpatient rehabilitation segment. Facility rent expense, a component of cost of services, was $64.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $56.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in our facility rent expense was primarily attributable to the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks. General and administrative expenses were $31.8 million, or 2.5% of net operating revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $28.1 million, or 2.6% of net operating revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. General and administrative expenses included $2.9 million of U.S. HealthWorks acquisition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

41


Adjusted EBITDA
Long Term Acute Care Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA increased 0.9% to $73.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $72.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the long term acute care segment was 15.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 16.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our Adjusted EBITDA increased as a result of increased patient volume, as discussed above under “Net Operating Revenues.” Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were positively impacted by gains which resulted from closed hospitals which did not recur in the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Inpatient Rehabilitation Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA increased 64.0% to $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the inpatient rehabilitation segment was 15.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 11.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for our inpatient rehabilitation segment were primarily driven by increased patient volume, as discussed above under “Net Operating Revenues.” Additionally, our inpatient rehabilitation facilities which commenced operations during 2016 and 2017 have continued to increase their occupancy, allowing our facilities to operate at lower relative costs compared to the prior period. Adjusted EBITDA losses in our start-up hospitals were $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $2.0 million or the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA was $30.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $31.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the outpatient rehabilitation segment was 11.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 12.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were impacted as a result of a decline in patient visits in regions impacted by severe winter weather conditions, as discussed above under “Net Operating Revenues,” without a corresponding reduction in costs.
Concentra Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA increased 35.7% to $57.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $42.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was principally due to an increase in net operating revenues resulting from the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Concentra segment was 16.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 17.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin was the result of U.S. HealthWorks centers operating at lower margins than Concentra’s existing occupational health centers as well as incremental costs associated with the integration of U.S. HealthWorks.
Other.    The Adjusted EBITDA loss was $24.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in our Adjusted EBITDA loss was due to an increase in general and administrative costs, which encompass our corporate shared service activities.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $46.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $42.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase principally occurred within our Concentra segment due to the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks.
Income from Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we had income from operations of $108.6 million, compared to $91.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in income from operations resulted principally from the improved performance of our inpatient rehabilitation and Concentra segments, as discussed above.
Loss on Early Retirement of Debt
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we amended both Select and Concentra’s credit facilities, as discussed above under “Significant Events,” which resulted in losses on early retirement of debt of $10.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we refinanced Select’s senior secured credit facilities which resulted in a loss on early retirement of debt of $19.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017.



42


Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
Our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries principally relates to rehabilitation businesses in which we are a minority owner. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $4.7 million, compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $47.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $40.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in interest expense was principally due to increases in our indebtedness as a result of the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks.
Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which represented an effective tax rate of 21.8%. We recorded income tax expense of $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, which represented an effective tax rate of 36.0%. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018, resulted from the effects resulting from the federal tax reform legislation enacted on December 22, 2017 and the discrete tax benefits realized from certain equity interests redeemed as part of the closing of the U.S. HealthWorks transaction.
Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was principally due to the improved operating performance of several of our joint venture inpatient rehabilitation facilities.

Operating activities provided $50.7 million of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to cash outflows of $55.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, was principally driven by the change in our accounts receivable in their respective periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, our days sales outstanding increased from 51 days at December 31, 2016 to 57 days at March 31, 2017 due to the significant underpayments we received through the periodic interim payment program from Medicare in our LTCHs and the repayment of overpayments we received in 2016 during the first quarter of 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, our days sales outstanding decreased from 58 days at December 31, 2017 to 56 days at March 31, 2018. Our days sales outstanding will fluctuate based upon variability in our collection cycles.
Investing activities used $556.0 million of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The principal uses of cash were $515.0 million related to the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks and $39.6 million for purchases of property and equipment. Investing activities used $41.2 million of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The principal uses of cash were $50.7 million for purchases of property and equipment and $9.6 million of acquisition-related payments, offset in part by $19.5 million of proceeds from the sale of assets.
Financing activities provided $502.4 million of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The principal sources of cash were from the issuance of term loans under the Concentra credit facilities which resulted in net proceeds of $779.9 million and $15.0 million of net borrowings under the Select revolving facility. This was offset in part by $286.6 million of distributions to non-controlling interests, of which $285.4 million related to the redemption and reorganization transactions executed under the Purchase Agreement, as described above under “Significant Events.”
Financing activities provided $63.3 million of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The principal source of cash was net borrowings under the Select revolving facility of $115.0 million, offset by $8.3 million of cash used for financing costs, and $23.1 million of cash used for a principal prepayment associated with the Concentra credit facilities.

Capital Resources
Working capital.  We had net working capital of $415.6 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $315.4 million at December 31, 2017. The increase in net working capital was primarily due to the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks and an increase in our accounts receivable.
Select credit facilities. 
On March 22, 2018, Select entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Select credit agreement dated March 6, 2017. Amendment No. 1 (i) decreases the applicable interest rate on the Select term loans from the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement and subject to an Adjusted LIBO floor of 1.00%) plus 3.50% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75%, or from the Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement and subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%) plus 2.50% to the Alternative Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case based on Select’s total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Select credit agreement); (ii) decreases the applicable interest rate on the loans outstanding under the Select revolving credit facility from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 3.00% to 3.25% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75%, or from the Alternative Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.00% to 2.25% to the Alternative Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case based on Select’s total net leverage ratio; (iii) extends the maturity date for the Select term loans from March 6, 2024 to March 6, 2025; and (iv) makes certain other technical amendments to the Select credit agreement as set forth therein.
At March 31, 2018, Select had outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities consisting of $1,138.5 million in Select term loans (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $23.8 million) and borrowings of $245.0 million (excluding letters of credit) under the Select revolving facility. At March 31, 2018, Select had $167.0 million of availability under the Select revolving facility after giving effect to $38.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.
Concentra credit facilities.  Select and Holdings are not parties to the Concentra credit facilities and are not obligors with respect to Concentra’s debt under such agreements. While this debt is non-recourse to Select, it is included in Select’s consolidated financial statements.
On February 1, 2018, in connection with the transactions executed under the Purchase Agreement, as described above under “Significant Events,” Concentra amended the Concentra first lien credit agreement to, among other things, provide for (i) an additional $555.0 million in tranche B term loans that, along with the existing tranche B term loans under the Concentra first lien credit agreement, have a maturity date of June 1, 2022 and (ii) an additional $25.0 million to the $50.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility under the terms of the existing Concentra first lien credit agreement. The tranche B term loans bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 2.75% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%) for Eurodollar Borrowings (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement), or Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 1.75% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%) for ABR Borrowings (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement). All other material terms and conditions applicable to the original tranche B term loan commitments are applicable to the additional tranche B term loans created under the Concentra first lien credit agreement.
In addition, on February 1, 2018, Concentra entered into the Concentra second lien credit agreement. The Concentra second lien credit agreement provides for a $240.0 million Concentra second lien term loan with a maturity date of June 1, 2023. Borrowings under the Concentra second lien credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) plus 6.50% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%), or Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) plus 5.50% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%).
In the event that, on or prior to February 1, 2019, Concentra prepays any of the Concentra second lien term loan to refinance such term loans, Concentra shall pay a premium of 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Concentra second lien term loan prepaid. If Concentra prepays any of the Concentra second lien term loan to refinance such term loans on or prior to February 1, 2020, Concentra shall pay a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Concentra second lien term loan prepaid.

45


Concentra will be required to prepay borrowings under the Concentra second lien term loan with (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions, or as a result of a casualty or condemnation, subject to reinvestment provisions and other customary carveouts and the payment of certain indebtedness secured by liens, (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the issuance of debt obligations other than certain permitted debt obligations, and (iii) 50% of excess cash flow (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) if Concentra’s leverage ratio is greater than 4.25 to 1.00 and 25% of excess cash flow if Concentra’s leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00 and greater than 3.75 to 1.00, in each case, reduced by the aggregate amount of term loans and certain debt optionally prepaid during the applicable fiscal year and the aggregate amount of senior revolving commitments reduced permanently during the applicable fiscal year (other than in connection with a refinancing). Concentra will not be required to prepay borrowings with excess cash flow if Concentra’s leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00.
The Concentra second lien credit agreement also contains a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on mergers, consolidations and dissolutions; sales of assets; investments and acquisitions; indebtedness; liens; affiliate transactions; and dividends and restricted payments. The Concentra second lien credit agreement contains events of default for non-payment of principal and interest when due (subject to a grace period for interest), cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions and an event of default that would be triggered by a change of control.
The borrowings under the Concentra second lien term loan are guaranteed, on a second lien basis, by Concentra Holdings, Inc., Concentra, and certain domestic subsidiaries of Concentra and will be guaranteed by Concentra’s future domestic subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries and Consolidated Practices, each as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement). The borrowings under the Concentra second lien term loan are secured by substantially all of Concentra’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ existing and future property and assets and by a pledge of Concentra’s capital stock, the capital stock of certain of Concentra’s domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of Concentra’s foreign subsidiaries, if any.
Concentra used borrowings under the Concentra first lien credit agreement and the Concentra second lien credit agreement, together with cash on hand, to pay the purchase price for all of the issued and outstanding stock of U.S. HealthWorks to DHHC and to finance the redemption and reorganization transactions executed under the Purchase Agreement.
At March 31, 2018, Concentra had outstanding borrowings under the Concentra credit facilities consisting of $1,414.2 million of term loans (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $26.5 million). Concentra did not have any borrowings under the Concentra revolving facility. At March 31, 2018, Concentra had $65.9 million of availability under its revolving facility after giving effect to $9.1 million of outstanding letters of credit.
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, 2018, 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 March 31, 2018. Since the inception of the program through March 31, 2018, Holdings has repurchased 35,924,128 shares at a cost of approximately $314.7 million, or $8.76 per share, which includes transaction costs.
Liquidity.  We believe our internally generated cash flows and borrowing capacity under the Select and Concentra credit facilities will be sufficient to finance operations over the next twelve months. 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 and from time to time we may also develop new inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and occupational health centers. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics 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, such as the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks.

Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments have changed materially from those reported in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, due to the following:
the incremental $555.0 million in tranche B term loans provided for under the Concentra first lien credit agreement;
the $240.0 million of term loans provided for under the Concentra second lien credit agreement;
the additional $25.0 million five-year revolving credit facility made available under the Concentra first lien credit agreement; and
the extension of the maturity date for the Select term loans under the Amendment No. 1 to the Select credit agreement from March 6, 2024 to March 6, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016‑02, Leases. This ASU includes a lessee accounting model that recognizes two types of leases: finance and operating. This ASU requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. Lessees will need to recognize almost all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained the dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as finance or operating lease. For short‑term leases of twelve months or less, lessees are permitted to make an accounting election by class of underlying asset not to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities. If the alternative is elected, lease expense would be recognized generally on the straight‑line basis over the respective lease term.
The amendments in ASU 2016-02 will take effect for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. A modified retrospective approach is required for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements.
Upon adoption, the Company will recognize significant assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of the operating lease obligations of the Company. Operating lease expense will still be recognized as rent expense on a straight‑line basis over the respective lease terms in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company will implement the new standard beginning January 1, 2019. The Company’s implementation efforts are focused on designing accounting processes, disclosure processes, and internal controls in order to account for its leases under the new standard.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Beginning in May 2014, the FASB issued several Accounting Standards Updates which established Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the “standard”). This standard supersedes existing revenue recognition requirements and seeks to eliminate most industry-specific guidance under current GAAP. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

47


The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018, using the full retrospective transition method. Adoption of the revenue recognition standard impacted the Company’s reported results as follows:

The Company has presented the applicable disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers in Note 7.
Income Taxes
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740), and Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. Previous GAAP prohibited the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The ASU requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra‑entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2018. Adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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 credit facilities.
At March 31, 2018, Select had outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities consisting of $1,138.5 million of Select term loans (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $23.8 million) and borrowings of $245.0 million (excluding letters of credit) under the Select revolving facility, which bear interest at variable rates.
At March 31, 2018, Concentra had outstanding borrowings under the Concentra credit facilities consisting of $1,414.2 million of Concentra term loans (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $26.5 million), which bear interest at variable rates. Concentra did not have any borrowings under the Concentra revolving facility.
At March 31, 2018, the 3-month LIBOR rate was 2.31%. Consequently, each 0.25% increase in market interest rates will impact the interest expense on Select’s and Concentra’s variable rate debt by $7.0 million per annum.

48


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 March 31, 2018, 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.
U.S. HealthWorks Acquisition
On February1, 2018, Concentra consummated the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks. SEC guidance permits management to omit an assessment of an acquired business’ internal control over financial reporting from management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting for a period not to exceed one year from the date of the acquisition.
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 first quarter ended March 31, 2018, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On February 1, 2018, Concentra consummated the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks. Effective from that date, we began integrating U.S. HealthWorks into our existing control procedures. The U.S. HealthWorks integration may lead us to modify certain controls in future periods, but we do not expect changes to significantly 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, 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 maintains insurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of $35.0 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 numerous programs that are designed to respond to the risks of the specific joint venture. The annual aggregate limit under these programs ranges from $5.0 million to $20.0 million. 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.
 Evansville Litigation.    On October 19, 2015, the plaintiff‑relators filed a Second Amended Complaint in United States of America, ex rel. Tracy Conroy, Pamela Schenk and Lisa Wilson v. Select Medical Corporation, Select Specialty Hospital-Evansville, LLC (“SSH‑Evansville”), Select Employment Services, Inc., and Dr. Richard Sloan. The case is a civil action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana by private plaintiff‑relators on behalf of the United States under the federal False Claims Act. The plaintiff‑relators are the former CEO and two former case managers at SSH‑Evansville, and the defendants currently include the Company, SSH‑Evansville, a subsidiary of the Company serving as common paymaster for its employees, and a physician who practices at SSH‑Evansville. The plaintiff‑relators allege that SSH‑Evansville discharged patients too early or held patients too long, improperly discharged patients to and readmitted them from short stay hospitals, up‑coded diagnoses at admission, and admitted patients for whom long‑term acute care was not medically necessary. They also allege that the defendants engaged in retaliation in violation of federal and state law. The Second Amended Complaint replaced a prior complaint that was filed under seal on September 28, 2012 and served on the Company on February 15, 2013, after a federal magistrate judge unsealed it on January 8, 2013. All deadlines in the case had been stayed after the seal was lifted in order to allow the government time to complete its investigation and to decide whether or not to intervene. On June 19, 2015, the United States Department of Justice notified the District Court of its decision not to intervene in the case.
In December 2015, the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on multiple grounds, including that the action is disallowed by the False Claims Act’s public disclosure bar, which disqualifies qui tam actions that are based on fraud already publicly disclosed through enumerated sources, unless the relator is an original source, and that the plaintiff‑relators did not plead their claims with sufficient particularity, as required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.



50


Thereafter, the United States filed a notice asserting a veto of the defendants’ use of the public disclosure bar for claims arising from conduct from and after March 23, 2010, which was based on certain statutory changes to the public disclosure bar language included in the Affordable Care Act. On September 30, 2016, the District Court partially granted and partially denied the defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. It ruled that the plaintiff‑relators alleged substantially the same conduct as had been publicly disclosed and that the plaintiff relators are not original sources, so that the public disclosure bar requires dismissal of all non‑retaliation claims arising from conduct before March 23, 2010. The District Court also ruled that the statutory changes to the public disclosure bar gave the United States the power to veto its applicability to claims arising from conduct on and after March 23, 2010, and therefore did not dismiss those claims based on the public disclosure bar. However, the District Court ruled that the plaintiff‑relators did not plead certain of their claims relating to interrupted stay manipulation and premature discharging of patients with the requisite particularity, and dismissed those claims. The District Court declined to dismiss the plaintiff relators’ claims arising from conduct from and after March 23, 2010 relating to delayed discharging of patients and up-coding and the plaintiff relators’ retaliation claims. The plaintiff-relators then proposed a case management plan seeking nationwide discovery involving all of the Company’s LTCHs for the period from March 23, 2010 through the present and allowing discovery that would facilitate the use of statistical sampling to prove liability, which the defendants opposed. In April 2018, a U.S. magistrate judge ruled that plaintiff‑relators’ discovery will be limited to only SSH-Evansville for the period from March 23, 2010 through September 30, 2016, and that the plaintiff‑relators will be required to prove the fraud that they allege on a claim-by-claim basis, rather than using statistical sampling. The plaintiff-relators have appealed this decision to the District Judge.
The Company intends to vigorously defend this action, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
Knoxville Litigation.    On July 13, 2015, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee unsealed a qui tam Complaint in Armes v. Garman, et al, No. 3:14‑cv‑00172‑TAV‑CCS, which named as defendants Select, Select Specialty Hospital-Knoxville, Inc. (“SSH‑Knoxville”), Select Specialty Hospital-North Knoxville, Inc. and ten current or former employees of these facilities. The Complaint was unsealed after the United States and the State of Tennessee notified the court on July 13, 2015 that each had decided not to intervene in the case. The Complaint is a civil action that was filed under seal on April 29, 2014 by a respiratory therapist formerly employed at SSH‑Knoxville. The Complaint alleges violations of the federal False Claims Act and the Tennessee Medicaid False Claims Act based on extending patient stays to increase reimbursement and to increase average length of stay; artificially prolonging the lives of patients to increase Medicare reimbursements and decrease inspections; admitting patients who do not require medically necessary care; performing unnecessary procedures and services; and delaying performance of procedures to increase billing. The Complaint was served on some of the defendants during October 2015.
In November 2015, the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint on multiple grounds. The defendants first argued that False Claims Act’s first‑to‑file bar required dismissal of plaintiff‑relator’s claims. Under the first‑to‑file bar, if a qui tam case is pending, no person may bring a related action based on the facts underlying the first action. The defendants asserted that the plaintiff‑relator’s claims were based on the same underlying facts as were asserted in the Evansville litigation, discussed above. The defendants also argued that the plaintiff‑relator’s claims must be dismissed under the public disclosure bar, and because the plaintiff‑relator did not plead his claims with sufficient particularity.
In June 2016, the District Court granted the defendants’ Motion to Dismiss and dismissed with prejudice the plaintiff‑relator’s lawsuit in its entirety. The District Court ruled that the first‑to‑file bar precludes all but one of the plaintiff‑relator’s claims, and that the remaining claim must also be dismissed because the plaintiff‑relator failed to plead it with sufficient particularity. In July 2016, the plaintiff‑relator filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Then, on October 11, 2016, the plaintiff‑relator filed a Motion to Remand the case to the District Court for further proceedings, arguing that the September 30, 2016 decision in the Evansville litigation, discussed above, undermines the basis for the District Court’s dismissal. After the Court of Appeals denied the Motion to Remand, the plaintiff‑relator then sought an indicative ruling from the District Court that it would vacate its prior dismissal ruling and allow plaintiff‑relator to supplement his Complaint, but the District Court denied such request. In December 2017, the Court of Appeals, relying on the public disclosure bar, denied the appeal of the plaintiff‑relator and affirmed the judgment of the District Court. In February 2018, the Court of Appeals denied a petition for rehearing that the plaintiff-relator filed in January 2018.
The Company intends to vigorously defend this action, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

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 defendant’s 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 is producing 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.
Northern District of Alabama Investigation
On October 30, 2017, the Company was contacted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Alabama to request cooperation in connection with an investigation that may involve Medicare billing compliance at certain of the Company’s Physiotherapy outpatient rehabilitation clinics.  In March 2018, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Alabama informed the Company that it has closed its investigation.
