SELECT MEDICAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SELECT MEDICAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
Select Medical Corporation (“Select”) was formed in December 1996 and commenced operations during February 1997 upon the completion of its first acquisition. Select Medical Holdings Corporation (“Holdings”) was formed in October 2004 for the purpose of effecting a leveraged buyout of Select, which was a publicly traded entity. Holdings was originally owned by an investor group that includes Welsh, Carson, Anderson, & Stowe, IX, LP (“Welsh Carson”), Thoma Cressey Bravo (“Thoma Cressey”) and members of the Company’s senior management. On February 24, 2005, Select merged with a subsidiary of Holdings, which resulted in Select becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “Merger”). On September 30, 2009 Holdings completed its initial public offering of common stock at a price to the public of $10.00 per share. Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require that any amounts recorded or incurred (such as goodwill and compensation expense) by the parent as a result of the Merger or for the benefit of the subsidiary be “pushed down” and recorded in Select’s consolidated financial statements. Holdings and Select and their subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.” The consolidated financial statements of Holdings include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary Select. Holdings conducts substantially all of its business through Select and its subsidiaries.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2010 and for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 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, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted consistent with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2010.
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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) — Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“Update 2010-06”), which amends the guidance on fair value to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The Company adopted update 2010-06 on January 1, 2010, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of Update 2010-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company currently has no Level 3 measurements.

5. Fair Value
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its interest rate swaps at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swaps based on financial models that consider current and future market interest rates and adjustments for non-performance risk. The Company considers those inputs utilized in the valuation process to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy is defined as inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was a liability of $9.3 million at March 31, 2010 and $14.1 million at December 31, 2009. These liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheet as a current liability in accrued other.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, notes payable and long-term debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The carrying value of Select’s senior secured credit facility was $483.1 million at both December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of Select’s senior secured credit facility was $471.0 million and $473.4 million at December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of Select’s senior secured credit facility was based on quoted market prices for this debt in the syndicated loan market.
The carrying value of the 7 5/8% senior subordinated notes was $611.5 million at both December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of the 7 5/8 senior subordinated notes was $593.2 million and $584.0 million at December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of this registered debt was based on quoted market prices.
The carrying value of the senior floating rate notes was $167.3 million at both December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of the senior floating rate notes was $155.6 million and $150.8 million at December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of this registered debt was based on quoted market prices.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. The Company’s objective is to manage the impact of the interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. On June 13, 2005, Select entered into two interest rate swap agreements to hedge Select’s interest rate risk for a portion of its term loans under its senior secured credit facility. The effective date of the swap transactions was August 22, 2005. The swaps are designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted LIBOR based variable rate interest payments. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps is $200.0 million, and the underlying variable rate debt is associated with Select’s senior secured credit facility. The variable interest rate of the debt was 3.31% and the fixed rate of the swaps was 7.34% at March 31, 2010. The swaps are for a period of five years and mature on August 23, 2010.
On March 8, 2007, Select entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement to hedge Select’s interest rate risk for a portion of its term loans under its senior secured credit facility. The effective date of the swap transaction was May 22, 2007. The swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted LIBOR based variable rate interest payments. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is $200.0 million, and the underlying variable rate debt is associated with Select’s senior secured credit facility. The variable interest rate of the debt was 3.31% and the fixed rate of the swap was 7.88% at March 31, 2010. The swap is for a period of three years, and matures on May 22, 2010.
On November 16, 2007, Select entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement to hedge Select’s interest rate risk for a portion of its term loans under its senior secured credit facility. The effective date of the swap transaction was November 23, 2007. A portion of the swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted LIBOR based variable rate interest payments. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is $100.0 million, of which $83.1 million qualifies as a hedge. The underlying variable rate debt is associated with Select’s senior secured credit facility. The variable interest rate of the debt was 3.31% and the fixed rate of the swap was 7.33% at March 31, 2010. The swap is for a period of three years, and matures on November 22, 2010.

For the portion of the swaps that qualify as a hedge, the interest rate swaps are reflected at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. A loss of $1.1 million, net of tax, was recorded in Holdings’ stockholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2009. A gain of $4.0 million, net of tax, was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Select recorded a loss of $1.6 million, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and a gain of $4.0 million, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 related to the swaps in Select’s stockholder’s equity as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).The Company tests for ineffectiveness whenever financial statements are issued or at least every three months using the Hypothetical Derivative Method. See also Note 6, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.
6. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010 were cumulative losses of $8.9 million (net of tax) and $4.9 million (net of tax), respectively, on interest rate swaps accounted for as cash flow hedges.
7. Stockholders’ Equity
Participating Preferred Stock
Upon completion of Holdings’ initial public offering of common stock on September 30, 2009, Holdings’ outstanding participating preferred stock converted into a total of 64,276,974 common shares. Each share of preferred stock converted into a number of shares of common stock determined by:
 dividing the original cost of a share of the preferred stock ($26.90 per share of preferred stock) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends through September 30, 2009 thereon less the amount of any previously declared and paid special dividends, or the “accreted value” of such preferred stock, by the initial public offering price per share net of any expenses incurred and underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed in connection with the offering; plus
 .30 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock owned.
Common Stock
On September 25, 2009 Holdings effected a 1 for .30 reverse stock split of its common stock. Accordingly all common issued and outstanding share and per share information in this report has been retroactively restated to reflect the effects of this reverse stock split.
8. Segment Information
The Company’s reportable segments consist of (i) specialty hospitals and (ii) outpatient rehabilitation. All other represents amounts associated with corporate activities and non-healthcare related services. The outpatient rehabilitation reportable segment has two operating segments: outpatient rehabilitation clinics and contract therapy. These operating segments are aggregated for reporting purposes as they have common economic characteristics and provide a similar service to a similar patient base. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance of the segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense and other income.

9. Income per Common Share
The Company applies the two-class method for calculating and presenting income per common share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of stock participation rights in undistributed earnings. Effective January 1, 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) clarified that share based payment awards that have not yet vested meet the definition of a participating security provided the right to receive the dividend is non-forfeitable and non-contingent. Participating securities are defined as securities that participate in dividends with common stock according to a predetermined formula. These participating securities should be included in the computation of basic earnings per share under the two class method. Based upon the clarification made by FASB, the Company concluded that its non-vested restricted stock awards meet the definition of a participating security and should be included in the Company’s computation of basic earnings per share.

10. Early Retirement of Debt
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company paid approximately $19.0 million to repurchase and retire a portion of its 75/8% senior subordinated notes. These notes had a carrying value of $31.5 million. A gain on early retirement of debt in the amount of $11.8 million was recognized, which was net of the write-off of $0.7 million in unamortized deferred financing costs related to the debt.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
To cover claims arising out of the operations of the Company’s specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, the Company maintains professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance. 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.
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, which include malpractice claims covered under insurance policies, subject to self-insured retention of $2.0 million per medical incident for professional liability claims and $2.0 million per occurrence for general liability claims. In the Company’s opinion, the outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
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 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.
During July 2009, the Company received a subpoena from the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services seeking various documents concerning the Company’s financial relationships with certain physicians practicing at its hospitals in Columbus, Ohio. We believe that the subpoena has been issued in connection with a qui tam lawsuit, and that the government is currently investigating the matter to determine whether to intervene. The Company has produced documents in response to the subpoena and intends to fully cooperate with the government’s investigation. In addition, the Company has initiated an internal review of its policies and practices related to physician relationships in the Columbus market. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
On March 8, 2010, we received a letter from the United States Senate Finance Committee in response to a New York Times article published February 10, 2010 focusing on our Company and the long term acute care hospital industry entitled “Long-Term Care Hospitals Face Little Scrutiny.” The letter from the Senate Finance Committee asked us to respond to a variety of questions regarding our long-term care hospitals. On March 23, 2010, we responded to the Senate Finance Committee’s letter and intend on fully cooperating with their inquiry. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
Construction Commitments
At March 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding commitments under construction contracts related to new construction, improvements and renovations at some of the Company’s long term acute care properties and inpatient rehabilitation facilities totaling approximately $9.3 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read this discussion together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Forward Looking Statements
This report 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:
  additional changes in government reimbursement for our services, including changes that will result from the expiration of the moratorium for long term acute care hospitals established by the SCHIP Extension Act of 2007, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act may result in a reduction in net operating revenues, an increase in costs and a reduction in profitability;
  the failure of our specialty hospitals to maintain their Medicare certifications as such may cause our net operating revenues and profitability to decline;
  the failure of our 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;
  future acquisitions or joint ventures may prove difficult or unsuccessful, use significant resources or expose us to unforeseen liabilities;
  private third-party payors for our services may undertake future cost containment initiatives that 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 or therapists could increase our operating costs significantly;
  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;

 

23


Table of Contents

  the effect of claims asserted against us or lack of adequate available insurance could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities;
  the ability to refinance our outstanding indebtedness before it comes due;
  the ability to obtain any necessary or desired waiver or amendment from our lenders may be difficult due to the current uncertainty in the credit markets;
  the inability to draw funds under our senior secured credit facility because of lender defaults; and
  other factors discussed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
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 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 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 believe that we are one of the largest operators of both specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the United States based on number of facilities. As of March 31, 2010, we operated 89 long term acute care hospitals and six inpatient rehabilitation facilities in 25 states, and 959 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 36 states and the District of Columbia. We also provide medical rehabilitation services on a contracted basis to nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living and senior care centers, schools and work sites. We began operations in 1997 under the leadership of our current management team.
We manage our Company through two business segments, our specialty hospital segment and our outpatient rehabilitation segment. We had net operating revenues of $584.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Of this total, we earned approximately 70% of our net operating revenues from our specialty hospitals and approximately 30% from our outpatient rehabilitation business for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our specialty hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of long term stay acute patients and hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive inpatient medical rehabilitation care. Patients are typically admitted to our long term acute care hospitals from general acute care hospitals. These patients have specialized needs, and serious and often complex medical conditions such as respiratory failure, neuromuscular disorders, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, non-healing wounds, cardiac disorders, renal disorders and cancer. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics and contract services that provide physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation services. Our outpatient rehabilitation patients are typically diagnosed with musculoskeletal impairments that restrict their ability to perform normal activities of daily living.

Recent Trends and Events
Summary Financial Results
First Quarter Ended March 31, 2010
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, our net operating revenues increased 4.2% to $584.8 million compared to $561.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase in net operating revenues resulted from a 4.7% increase in our specialty hospital net operating revenue and a 3.1% increase in our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenue. The increase in our specialty hospital net operating revenue is principally due to the hospitals opened as of January 1, 2009 and operated by us throughout both periods. The increase in our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenue is principally due to an increase in contract services based revenue. We had income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $72.6 million compared to $67.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in income from operations was principally related to an increase in profitability of our specialty hospitals opened as of January 1, 2009 and operated throughout both periods. Holdings’ interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $30.0 million compared to $34.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Select’s interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $23.0 million compared to $26.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in interest expense for both Holdings and Select was attributable to a reduction in outstanding debt balances that occurred throughout 2009.
Cash flow from operations used $15.8 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2010 for Holdings and $2.9 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2010 for Select. The difference primarily relates to interest payments on Holdings’ senior subordinated notes and senior floating rate notes.
Regulatory Changes
In the last few years, there have been significant regulatory changes that have affected our net operating revenues and, in some cases, caused us to change our operating models and strategies. The following is a discussion of significant regulatory changes that have occurred since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 17, 2010. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 contains a more detailed discussion of the regulations that affect our business in Part I — Business — Government Regulations, and the information below should be read in connection with that more detailed discussion that is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Health Reform Legislation
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law H.R. 3590, the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” (“PPACA”). The PPACA expands access to health insurance through subsidies, coverage mandates and other insurance market reforms. In addition, PPACA makes dramatic changes to the Medicare and Medicaid programs by adopting numerous initiatives addressing, among other things, reductions in healthcare spending, patient safety incentives, and protections against fraud and abuse of federal healthcare programs. The PPACA adopts significant changes to the Medicare program that are particularly relevant to long term acute care hospitals (“LTCHs”), inpatient rehabilitation facilities (“IRFs”) and outpatient rehabilitation services. As part of health reform legislation, President Obama also signed H.R. 4872, the “Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010,” which made some limited but important changes to the PPACA.

Extension of Changes Made by the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007
The PPACA includes a two-year extension to Sections 114(c) and (d) of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (“SCHIP Extension Act”), as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5) (“ARRA”). The two-year extension applies the relief granted by Section 114(c) to the “25% Rule” payment adjustment, the one-time budget neutrality adjustment and the very short stay outlier payment adjustment. The two-year extension also applies to the moratorium on new LTCHs and new LTCH beds adopted in Section 114(d) of the SCHIP Extension Act. Each of these changes are described further below.
25% Rule
The 25% Rule is a downward payment adjustment that applies to Medicare patients discharged from LTCHs who were admitted from a co-located (“host”) hospital or a non-co-located hospital and who exceed applicable percentage thresholds of discharged Medicare patients. The following table describes the types of LTCHs and the relief they have received under the SCHIP Extension Act as amended by the ARRA and PPACA, from the payment adjustment for these discharges:
     
Type of LTCH Non Co-located Admissions Co-located Admissions
Non-grandfathered HIHs opened before October 1, 2004
(54 owned hospitals)
 Not subject to any extensions of the admissions thresholds under the 25% Rule. LTCHs in this category are subject to a payment adjustment for discharged Medicare patients exceeding 25% of the LTCH’s total Medicare population. Percentage admissions threshold was raised from 25% to 50%. This relief is now effective for five years starting with cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2007. In the special case of rural LTCHs, LTCHs co-located with an urban single hospital, or LTCHs co-located with an MSA-dominate hospital the referral percentage was raised to 75%.
 
    
Non-grandfathered satellite facilities opened before October 1, 2004

 Not subject to any extensions of the admissions thresholds under the 25% Rule. LTCHs in this category are subject to a payment adjustment for discharged Medicare patients exceeding 25% of the LTCH’s total Medicare population. Percentage admissions threshold was raised from 25% to 50%. This relief is now effective for five years starting with cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2007. In the special case of rural LTCHs, LTCHs co-located with an urban single hospital, or LTCHs co-located with an MSA-dominate hospital the referral percentage was raised to 75%.

One-Time Budget Neutrality Adjustment
The regulations governing the prospective payment system specifically applicable to LTCHs, referred to as “LTCH-PPS,” give the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) the ability to make a one-time adjustment to the standard federal rate to correct any “significant difference between actual payments and estimated payments for the first year” of LTCH-PPS. In the rate year 2009 LTCH-PPS final rule, CMS estimated this one-time adjustment would result in a negative adjustment of 3.75% to the base rate. The SCHIP Extension Act precluded CMS from implementing the one-time prospective adjustment to the LTCH standard amount for a period of three years. PPACA extends by two years the stay on CMS’s ability to adopt a one-time budget neutrality adjustment to LTCH-PPS. PPACA prohibits such a one-time adjustment before December 29, 2012.
Short Stay Outlier Policy
The SCHIP Extension Act prevented CMS from applying the so-called very short stay outlier policy that was added to LTCH-PPS in the 2008 rate year update published on May 11, 2007. This policy would result in a payment equivalent to the short-term care hospital rate for cases with a length of stay that is less than the average length of stay plus one standard deviation of a case with the same diagnosis related group under the inpatient prospective payment system, regardless of the clinical considerations for admission to the LTCH or the average length of stay an LTCH must satisfy for Medicare certification. The SCHIP Extension Act precluded CMS from implementing the very short stay outlier policy for a period of three years. PPACA extends this prohibition by two years. CMS may not apply the very short stay outlier policy before December 29, 2012.
Moratorium on New LTCHs and New LTCH Beds
The SCHIP Extension Act imposed a moratorium on the establishment and classification of new LTCHs, LTCH satellite facilities and LTCH beds in existing LTCHs or satellite facilities. PPACA extends this moratorium by two years. The moratorium will now expire on December 28, 2012.

Medicare Quality Reporting
The PPACA requires that CMS establish new quality data reporting programs for LTCHs and IRFs. By rate year 2014, CMS is required to select and implement quality measures for these providers. These programs are mandatory. If a provider fails to report on the selected quality measures, it will see its reimbursement reduced by 2% of the annual market basket update. The reduction can result in payment rates less than the prior year. However, the reduction will not carry over into the subsequent rate years. CMS is required to establish the quality measures applicable to rate year 2014 no later than October 1, 2012.
Medicare Market Basket Adjustments
The PPACA institutes a market basket payment adjustment to LTCHs. In rate year 2010, LTCHs are subject to a market basket reduction of minus 0.25% for discharges occurring after April 1, 2010. In rate year 2011, LTCHs are subject to a market basket reduction of minus 0.5%. There will be a slightly smaller 0.1% market basket reduction for LTCHs in rate years 2012 and 2013. Rate year 2014 the market basket update will be reduced by 0.3%. Rate years 2015 and 2016 the market basket update will be reduced by 0.2%. Finally, in rate years 2017-2019, the market basket update will be reduced by 0.75%. The PPACA specifically allows these market basket reductions to result in less than a 0% payment update and payment rates that are less than the prior year.
The PPACA also implements a market basket payment adjustment for IRFs. For fiscal years 2010 and 2011, IRFs are subject to a market basket reduction of minus 0.25%. For fiscal years 2012 and 2013, the reduction is 0.1%. For fiscal year 2014, the reduction is 0.3%. For fiscal years 2015 and 2016, the reduction is 0.2%. For fiscal years 2017 — 2019, the reduction is 0.75%.
Medicare Productivity Adjustment
PPACA implements a separate productivity adjustment for the first time for hospital inpatient services beginning in rate year 2012 for LTCHs and fiscal year 2012 for IRFs. This provision will apply a negative productivity adjustment to the market basket that is used to update the standard federal rate on an annual basis. The adjustment will be applied each year. The market basket does not currently account for increases in provider productivity that could reduce the actual cost of providing services (e.g., through new technology or fewer inputs). The productivity adjustment will equal the 10-year moving average of changes in the annual economy-wide private nonfarm business multi-factor productivity. This is a statistic reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and updated in the spring of each year. While this adjustment will change year-to-year, it is currently estimated that this adjustment to the market basket will be approximately minus 1.0% on average.
Hospital Wage Index
The PPACA abandons the current system of calculating the hospital wage index based on data submitted in hospital cost reports, which currently has a four year lag in data. In its place, CMS is required to develop a comprehensive reform plan to present to Congress by December 31, 2011 using Bureau of Labor Statistics data, or other data or methodologies, to calculate relative wages for each geographic area involved. Although the PPACA addresses the hospital wage index generally, this change presumably applies to LTCHs given that the LTCH-PPS wage index is computed using wage data from inpatient acute care hospitals.

Independent Payment Advisory Board
The PPACA establishes an independent board called the “Independent Payment Advisory Board” that will develop and submit proposals to President Obama and Congress beginning in 2014. The Independent Payment Advisory Board’s proposals must be designed to reduce Medicare spending by targeted amounts compared to the trajectory of Medicare spending under current law. The Independent Payment Advisory Board’s first proposal with savings recommendations could be submitted by January 14, 2014, for implementation in 2015, if the Medicare per capita target growth rate is exceeded, as described in the PPACA. However, the Independent Payment Advisory Board is precluded from submitting proposals that reduce Medicare payments prior to December 31, 2019 for providers scheduled to receive a reduction in their payment updates as a result of the Medicare productivity adjustment (discussed above).
Physician-Owned Hospital Limitations
Under the transparency and program integrity provisions of the PPACA, the exception to the federal self-referral law (or “Stark law”) that currently permits physicians to refer patients to hospitals in which they have an ownership or investment interest will be dramatically curtailed. Only hospitals, including LTCHs, with physician ownership and a provider agreement in place on December 31, 2010 are exempt from the general ban on self-referral. Existing physician-owned hospitals are prohibited from increasing the number of licensed beds after March 23, 2010, unless meeting specific exceptions related to the hospital’s location and patient population. The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services is required to implement a process for allowing bed increases by August 1, 2011 and must promulgate regulations to carry out this process no later than January 1, 2012. In order to retain their exemption from the general ban on self-referrals, our physician-owned hospitals are required to adopt specific measures relating to conflicts of interest, bona fide investments and patient safety.
Provider and Employee Screening
The PPACA imposes new screening requirements on all Medicare providers. The screening must include a licensure check and may include other procedures such as a criminal background check, fingerprinting, unscheduled and unannounced site visits, database checks, and other screening techniques CMS deems appropriate to prevent fraud, waste and abuse. Medicare providers and suppliers will be required to pay a fee in connection with the screening procedures. The PPACA also imposes new disclosure requirements and authorizes surety bonds for the enrollment of new providers and suppliers.
In addition, the PPACA requires LTCHs to conduct national and state criminal background checks, including fingerprint checks of their employees and contractors who have (or may have) one-on-one contact with patients. Our LTCHs are prohibited from hiring or retaining workers with a finding of patient or resident abuse that is disqualifying.
Medicare Compliance Requirements and Penalties
The PPACA includes new compliance requirements and increases existing penalties for non-compliance with federal law and the Medicare conditions of participation. In addition, Medicare claims will be paid only if submitted within 12 months. Penalties for submitting false claims and for submitting false statements material to a false claim will be increased. The Secretary will be granted the authority to suspend payments to a provider pending an investigation of credible allegations of fraud. Further, the Recovery Audit Contractor or RAC program will be extended to Medicare Parts C and D and Medicaid no later than December 31, 2010.

Additional Medicare Rulemaking
We expect CMS to propose and adopt numerous regulations implementing the requirements of the PPACA. Furthermore, the policies and payment rates in the 2011 fiscal year LTCH-PPS proposed rule do not reflect the statutory changes made by the PPACA. CMS intends to publish separate rules addressing changes made by the PPACA to LTCH-PPS for rate year 2010 and fiscal year 2011.
Reductions to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule
The Medicare program reimburses outpatient rehabilitation providers based on the Medicare physician fee schedule. The Medicare physician fee schedule rates are automatically updated annually based on a formula, called the sustainable growth rate (“SGR”) formula, contained in legislation. The SGR formula has resulted in automatic reductions in rates in every year since 2002; however, for each year through 2009 CMS or Congress has taken action to prevent the SGR formula reductions. On April 15, 2010, President Obama signed into law, the Continuing Extension Act of 2010, which retroactively blocks through May 31, 2010 a 21.2% cut in the Medicare physician fee schedule that went into effect April 1, 2010 under the sustainable growth formula.
Medicare Payment of Long-Term Acute Care Hospitals during Fiscal Year 2011
On April 19, 2010, CMS released the proposed policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2011 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2010 and before September 30, 2011). In the proposed rule, CMS announced its intent to replace the term “rate year” with “fiscal year” to reflect that LTCHs payment polices are now revised on a fiscal year basis (from October 1st through September 30th). For fiscal year 2011 CMS adopted a 0.1% decrease in payments under LTCH-PPS. As a result, the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2011 is set at $39,856.75, a decrease from $39,896.65 in rate year 2010. The decrease is based on a market basket increase estimate of 2.4% less an adjustment of -2.5% to account for what CMS attributes as an increase in case-mix in prior periods (rate years 2008 and 2009) that resulted from changes in documentation and coding practices that did not reflect increases in patients’ severity of illness. The fixed loss amount for high cost outlier cases is set at $18,692. This is an increase from the fixed loss amount in the 2010 rate year of $18,425.
Medicare Payment of Outpatient Rehabilitation Services
Beginning on January 1, 1999, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 subjected certain outpatient therapy providers reimbursed under the Medicare physician fee schedule to annual limits for therapy expenses. Effective January 1, 2010, the annual limit on outpatient therapy services is $1,860 for combined physical and speech language pathology services and $1,860 for occupational therapy services. The per beneficiary caps were $1,840 for calendar year 2009. In the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, Congress implemented an exceptions process to the annual limit for therapy expenses. Under this process, a Medicare enrollee (or person acting on behalf of the Medicare enrollee) is able to request an exception from the therapy caps if the provision of therapy services was deemed to be medically necessary. Therapy cap exceptions were available automatically for certain conditions and on a case-by-case basis upon submission of documentation of medical necessity. The PPACA extended the exceptions process through December 31, 2010.

Facility Licensure, Certification and Accreditation
Our specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics are subject to extensive and changing federal, state and local regulations and private accreditation standards. Hospitals are required to comply with state hospital standards setting requirements related to patient rights, composition and responsibilities of the hospital governing body, medical staff, quality improvement, infection control, nursing services, food and nutrition, medical records, drug distribution, diagnostic and treatment services, surgical services, emergency services and social work. Our hospitals are also required to meet conditions of participation under Medicare programs in order to qualify to receive reimbursement under these programs. In addition, many of our hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics are accredited by The Joint Commission, previously known as The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, and The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, by voluntarily complying with a specific set of accreditation standards.
Our hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics are subject to inspections, surveys and other reviews by governmental and private regulatory authorities, not only at scheduled intervals but also in response to complaints from patients and others. While our hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics intend to comply with existing licensing, Medicare certification requirements and accreditation standards, there can be no assurance that regulatory authorities will determine that all applicable requirements are fully met at any given time. A determination by an applicable regulatory authority that a facility is not in compliance with these requirements could lead to the imposition of requirements that the facility takes corrective action, assessment of fines and penalties or loss of licensure, Medicare certification or accreditation. These consequences could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

(1) Cost of services includes salaries, wages and benefits, operating supplies, lease and rent expense and other operating costs.
 
(2) We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, other income (expense), long term incentive and compensation. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA 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 units. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. 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, 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 generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. See footnote 8 to our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2010 for a reconciliation of income from operations before income taxes to Adjusted EBITDA as utilized by us in reporting our segment performance.
 
(3) Other includes our general and administrative services and non-healthcare services.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
In the following discussion, we address the results of operations of Select and Holdings. With the exception of incremental interest expense, gain on early retirement of debt and income taxes, the results of operations of Holdings are identical to those of Select. Therefore, discussion related to net operating revenue, operating expenses, Adjusted EBITDA, income from operations and non-controlling interest is identical for Holdings and Select.
Net Operating Revenues
Our net operating revenues increased by 4.2% to $584.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $561.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Specialty Hospitals. Our specialty hospital net operating revenues increased by 4.7% to $411.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $393.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the hospitals acquired in 2009 increased net operating revenues by $7.6 million, and the hospitals opened in 2009 increased net operating revenues by $0.7 million. These increases were offset partially by the loss of revenues from hospitals that closed during 2009, which accounted for $2.5 million of the difference in net operating revenues between the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010. Net operating revenues for the specialty hospitals opened as of January 1, 2009 and operated by us throughout both periods increased by $12.7 million to $402.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $390.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase in net operating revenue is principally related to an increase in our occupancy and patient days in these same store hospitals. Our patient days for these same store hospitals for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased 3.4% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009, which was primarily related to an increase in our Medicare patient days. The occupancy percentage in our same store hospitals increased to 71% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 68% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our average net revenue per patient day in our same store hospitals remained stable at $1,507 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $1,508 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Outpatient Rehabilitation. Our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues increased 3.1% to $173.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $167.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues was primarily due to an increase in contracted services based revenue resulting from new business. The net operating revenues generated by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics for the three months ended March 31, 2010 grew approximately 1.0% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The number of patient visits in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics increased 2.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 1,125,958 visits compared to 1,096,296 visits for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Net revenue per visit in our clinics declined 1.9% to $101 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $103 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This reduction in net revenue per visit is primarily related to a migration of patients in one of the areas we serve into a managed care plan that has lower reimbursement rates.

Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses include our cost of services, general and administrative expense and bad debt expense. Our operating expenses increased by $18.7 million to $494.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $475.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. As a percentage of our net operating revenues, our operating expenses were 84.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 84.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our cost of services, a major component of which is labor expense, were $472.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $451.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The principal cause of this increase was increased costs associated with the growth experienced in our hospitals opened as of January 1, 2009 and operated by us throughout both periods and the hospitals acquired in 2009. Another component of cost of services is facility rent expense, which was $29.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $28.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. General and administrative expenses were $12.8 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Our bad debt expense as a percentage of net operating revenues was 1.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 2.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The reduction resulted from improved collections and a reduction in the amount of accounts receivable outstanding greater than 180 days.
Adjusted EBITDA
Specialty Hospitals. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 8.0% to $82.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $76.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 20.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 19.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The hospitals opened as of January 1, 2009 and operated by us throughout both periods had Adjusted EBITDA of $84.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $7.3 million or 9.5% over the Adjusted EBITDA of $76.7 million for these hospitals for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin in these same store hospitals increased to 20.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 19.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The principal reason for the growth in our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for these same store hospitals was an increase in the volume of cases we treated in these hospitals and our ability to control our costs of services in these hospitals. We were also able to reduce the bad debt expense in these hospitals, which had the effect of increasing our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Our hospitals opened during 2009 or currently still in development incurred Adjusted EBITDA losses of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Outpatient Rehabilitation. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 3.6% to $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins declined to 11.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 12.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of higher costs in our contract services business that resulted from lost productivity in the Northeast due to a difficult winter weather season and the need to use higher cost agency staffing at some of our locations.
Other. The Adjusted EBITDA loss was $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and is primarily related to our general and administrative expenses.
Income from Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 we experienced income from operations of $72.6 million compared to $67.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in income from operations resulted primarily from increased profitability at the hospitals opened as of January 1, 2009 and operated by us throughout both periods.

Gain on Early Retirement of Debt
Select Medical Corporation. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we paid approximately $19.0 million to repurchase and retire a portion of our 75/8% senior subordinated notes. These notes had a carrying value of $31.5 million. A gain on early retirement of debt in the amount of $11.8 million was recognized on the transactions, which was net of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the debt.
Interest Expense
Select Medical Corporation. Interest expense was $23.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $26.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in interest expense is related to a reduction in outstanding debt balances that occurred in 2009 as a result of our repurchases of 7 5/8% senior subordinated notes and the repayment of a portion of our senior secured credit facility with proceeds from our initial public offering of common stock.
Select Medical Holdings Corporation. Interest expense was $30.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $34.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in interest expense is related to a reduction in outstanding debt balances that occurred in 2009 as a result of our repurchases of 75/8% senior subordinated notes, repurchases of Holdings’ senior floating rate notes and the repayment of a portion of our senior secured credit facility with proceeds from our initial public offering of common stock.
Income Taxes
Select Medical Corporation. We recorded income tax expense of $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 39.3%. We recorded income tax expense of $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 40.6%. The lower effective tax rate we experienced for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is due to a reduction in our effective tax rate for state and local taxes and a reduction in the amount of tax reserves provided on uncertain tax positions.
Select Medical Holdings Corporation. We recorded income tax expense of $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 40.0%. We recorded income tax expense of $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 41.9%. The lower effective tax rate we experienced for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is due to a reduction in our effective tax rate for state and local taxes and a reduction in the amount of tax reserves provided on uncertain tax positions.
Non-Controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests in consolidated earnings were $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. These amounts reflect minority owners’ share of the earnings of joint ventured operations.

Operating activities for Select used $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our days sales outstanding were 56 days at March 31, 2010 compared to 49 days at December 31, 2009. The increase in days sales outstanding between December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010 is primarily related to the timing of the periodic interim payments we receive from Medicare for the services provided at our specialty hospitals.
The operating cash flow of Select exceeds the operating cash flow of Holdings by $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and by $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The difference relates to interest payments on Holdings’ senior subordinated notes and senior floating rate notes.
Investing activities used $13.0 million of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and $7.0 million of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The use of cash in both periods related to the purchase of property and equipment.
Financing activities for Select provided $5.5 million of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The primary source of cash related to proceeds from bank overdrafts of $17.3 million and borrowings of other debt of $5.0 million, offset by payments on our seller and other debt of $2.4 million, dividends paid to Holdings to fund interest payments of $12.9 million, and $1.7 million in distributions to non-controlling interests. Financing activities used $40.2 million of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The primary use of cash related to the repurchases of Select’s 7 5/8% senior subordinated notes for $19.0 million, repayment of bank overdrafts of $4.8 million, payment on the term loan portion of our senior secured credit facility of $1.7 million, dividends paid to Holdings of $16.5 million and $1.0 million in distributions to non-controlling interests. These payments were offset by net borrowings related to seller and other debt of $2.8 million.
The difference in cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities of Holdings compared to Select of $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 relates to dividends paid by Select to Holdings to service Holdings’ interest obligations related to its senior subordinated notes and its senior floating rate notes.

Capital Resources
Select Medical Corporation. Select had net working capital of $162.6 million at March 31, 2010 compared to net working capital of $167.3 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in net working capital is primarily due to an increase in our current portion of long-term debt offset by an increase in our accounts receivable.
Select Medical Holdings Corporation. Holdings had net working capital of $159.6 million at March 31, 2010 compared to net working capital of $170.8 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in net working capital is primarily due to an increase in our current portion of long-term debt offset by an increase in our accounts receivable.
At March 31, 2010, our senior secured credit facility provides for senior secured financing consisting of:
  a $300.0 million revolving loan facility that will terminate on February 24, 2011, including both a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub-facility, and
  $191.8 million in term loans that mature on February 24, 2012 (the “Tranche B Term Loans”), and
  $291.3 million in term loans that mature on August 22, 2014 (the “Tranche B-1 Term Loans”).
The interest rates per annum applicable to loans, other than swingline loans and Tranche B-1 Term Loans, under our senior secured credit facility are, at our option, equal to either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate for a one, two, three or six month interest period, or a nine or twelve month period if available, in each case, plus an applicable margin percentage. The interest rates per annum applicable to the Tranche B-1 Term Loans under our senior credit facility are, at our option, equal to either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate for a three or six month interest period, or a nine or twelve month period if available, in each case, plus an applicable margin percentage. The alternate base rate is the greater of (1) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s prime rate and (2) one-half of 1% over the weighted average of rates on overnight Federal funds as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The adjusted LIBOR rate is determined by reference to settlement rates established for deposits in dollars in the London interbank market for a period equal to the interest period of the loan and the maximum reserve percentages established by the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve to which our lenders are subject. The applicable margin percentage for borrowings under our revolving loans is subject to change based upon the ratio of Select’s total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement). The applicable margin percentage for revolving loans is currently (1) 0.75% for alternate base rate loans and (2) 1.75% for adjusted LIBOR loans. The applicable margin percentages for the Tranche B Term Loans are (1) 1.00% for alternate base rate loans and (2) 2.00% for adjusted LIBOR loans. The applicable margin percentages for the Tranche B-1 Term Loans are (1) 2.75% for alternate base rate loans and (2) 3.75% for adjusted LIBOR loans.
Our senior secured credit facility requires Select to maintain certain interest expense coverage ratios and leverage ratios which become more restrictive over time. For the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2010, Select was required to maintain an interest expense coverage ratio (its ratio of consolidated EBITDA (as defined in our senior secured credit facility) to cash interest expense) for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters of at least 2.00 to 1.00. Select’s interest expense coverage ratio was 2.78 to 1.00 for such period. As of March 31, 2010, Select was required to maintain its leverage ratio (its ratio of total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters) at less than 4.75 to 1.00. Select’s leverage ratio was 3.11 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2010.

Table of Contents

Also, as of March 31, 2010, we had $272.5 million of availability under our revolving loan facility (after giving effect to $27.5 million of outstanding letters of credit).
On June 13, 2005, Select entered into two five year interest rate swap transactions with an effective date of August 22, 2005. On March 8, 2007 and November 23, 2007, Select entered into two additional interest rate swap transactions for three years with effective dates of May 22, 2007 and November 23, 2007, respectively. The swaps are designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted LIBOR-based variable rate interest payments. The underlying variable rate debt is $500.0 million.
Select has outstanding $611.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 7 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The notes are guaranteed by all of Select’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. On or after February 1, 2010, the notes may be redeemed at Select’s option, in whole or in part, at redemption prices that decline annually to 100% on and after February 1, 2013, plus accrued and unpaid interest. From February 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011, Select may redeem the notes at a redemption price equal to 103.813% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Upon a change of control of Holdings, each holder of notes may require us to repurchase all or any portion of the holder’s notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
As of March 31, 2010, Holdings had outstanding $167.3 million of senior floating rate notes due 2015, which bear interest at a rate per annum, reset semi-annually, equal to the 6-month LIBOR plus 5.75%. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, with the principal due in full on September 15, 2015. The senior floating rate notes are general unsecured obligations of Holdings and are not guaranteed by Select or any of its subsidiaries.
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 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.
We believe our internally generated cash flows and borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility will be sufficient to finance normal operations over the next twelve months. Our lenders, including the lenders participating in our senior secured credit facility, may have suffered losses related to their lending and other financial relationships, especially because of the general weakening of the national economy, increased financial instability of many borrowers and the declining value of their assets. As a result, lenders may become insolvent or tighten their lending standards, which could make it more difficult for us to borrow under our revolving credit facility. Our access to funds under the senior secured credit facility is dependent upon the ability of our lenders to meet their funding commitments. Our financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected if we were unable to draw funds under our senior secured credit facility because of a lender default or to obtain other cost-effective financing.
Our Tranche B term loans mature on February 24, 2012 and Tranche B-1 term loans mature on August 22, 2014. Our revolving credit facility will terminate on February 24, 2011. We anticipate refinancing at least a portion of the indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility within the next twelve months, which includes entering into a new revolving credit facility on or before the termination of our current revolving credit facility on February 24, 2011. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our effort to enter into a new revolving credit facility and/or refinance indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility in the future. While we expect there to be alternatives available to us to enter into a new revolving credit facility and/or refinance our indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility, we cannot assure you that any of these alternatives will be successfully implemented. We depend on our revolving credit facility to meet our cash requirements to operate our business. If we repay our revolving credit facility upon its termination and are unable to enter into a new revolving credit facility on terms acceptable to us, or at all, we may be forced to reduce our operations and may not be able to respond to changing business conditions or competitive pressures. As a result, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Longer term disruptions in the capital and credit markets as a result of uncertainty, changing or increased regulation, reduced alternatives or failures of significant financial institutions could adversely affect our access to liquidity needed for our business. Any disruption could require us to take measures to conserve cash until the markets stabilize or until alternative credit arrangements or other funding for our business can be arranged. Such measures could include deferring capital expenditures and reducing or eliminating other discretionary uses of cash.
As a result of the SCHIP Extension Act as amended by PPACA, which prohibits the establishment and classification of new LTCHs or satellites during the five calendar years commencing on December 29, 2007, we have stopped all new LTCH development. However, we continue to evaluate opportunities to develop new joint venture relationships with significant health systems, and from time to time we may also develop new inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. 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 our network of specialty hospitals through opportunistic acquisitions.
Inflation
The healthcare industry is labor intensive. Wages and other expenses increase during periods of inflation and when labor shortages occur in the marketplace. In addition, suppliers pass along rising costs to us in the form of higher prices. We have implemented cost control measures, including our case and resource management program, to curtail increases in operating costs and expenses. We cannot predict our ability to cover or offset future cost increases.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) — Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“Update 2010-06”), which amends the guidance on fair value to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The Company adopted update 2010-06 on January 1, 2010, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of Update 2010-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company currently has no Level 3 measurements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our long-term indebtedness. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to the loans outstanding under Select’s senior secured credit facility and Holdings’ senior floating rate notes. As of March 31, 2010, Select had $483.1 million in term and revolving loans outstanding under its senior secured credit facility and Holdings had $167.3 million in senior floating rate notes outstanding, which bear interest at variable rates. On June 13, 2005, Select entered into two five year interest rate swap transactions with an effective date of August 22, 2005. On March 8, 2007 and November 16, 2007, Select entered into two additional interest rate swap transactions for three years with effective dates of May 22, 2007 and November 23, 2007, respectively. Select entered into the swap transactions to mitigate the risks of future variable rate interest payments. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps are $500.0 million and the underlying variable rate debt is associated with the senior secured credit facility. Each eighth point change in interest rates on the variable rate portion of our long-term indebtedness would result in a $0.2 million annual change in interest expense on our term loans.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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, 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.
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 three months ended March 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
To cover claims arising out of the operations of the Company’s specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, the Company maintains professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance. 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.

Table of Contents

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, which include malpractice claims covered under insurance policies, subject to self-insured retention of $2.0 million per medical incident for professional liability claims and $2.0 million per occurrence for general liability claims. In the Company’s opinion, the outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
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 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.
During July 2009, the Company received a subpoena from the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services seeking various documents concerning the Company’s financial relationships with certain physicians practicing at its hospitals in Columbus, Ohio. We believe that the subpoena has been issued in connection with a qui tam lawsuit, and that the government is currently investigating the matter to determine whether to intervene. The Company has produced documents in response to the subpoena and intends to fully cooperate with the government’s investigation. In addition, the Company has initiated an internal review of its policies and practices related to physician relationships in the Columbus market. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
On March 8, 2010, we received a letter from the United States Senate Finance Committee in response to a New York Times article published February 10, 2010 focusing on our Company and the long term acute care hospital industry entitled “Long-Term Care Hospitals Face Little Scrutiny.” The letter from the Senate Finance Committee asked us to respond to a variety of questions regarding our long-term care hospitals. On March 23, 2010, we responded to the Senate Finance Committee’s letter and intend on fully cooperating with their inquiry. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
