Stock Repurchase Program

Select Medical did not repurchase shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 under its authorized $500.0 million stock repurchase program. 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. Since the inception of the program through September 30, 2017, Select Medical has repurchased 35,924,128 shares at a cost of approximately $314.7 million, or $8.76 per share, which includes transaction costs.

Pending U.S. HealthWorks Acquisition

On October 23, 2017, Select Medical announced that Concentra Group Holdings, LLC ("Group Holdings") entered into an Equity Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated October 22, 2017 with Concentra Inc., Concentra Group Holdings Parent, LLC ("Group Holdings Parent"), U.S. HealthWorks, Inc. ("U.S. HealthWorks"), and Dignity Health Holdings Company ("DHHC"). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Concentra Inc. will acquire the issued and outstanding shares of stock of U.S. HealthWorks, an occupational medicine and urgent care service provider.

In connection with the closing of the transaction, it is expected that Group Holdings will redeem certain of its outstanding equity interests from existing minority equity holders and subsequently, Group Holdings and a wholly owned subsidiary of Group Holdings Parent will merge, with Group Holdings surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Group Holdings Parent. As a result of the merger, the equity interests of Group Holdings outstanding after the redemption described above will be exchanged for membership interests in Group Holdings Parent.

The transaction values U.S. HealthWorks at $753.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments for working capital, cash, debt, transaction expenses and other items in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. DHHC, a subsidiary of Dignity Health, will be issued a 20% equity interest in Group Holdings Parent, which is valued at $238.0 million. The remainder of the purchase price will be paid in cash. Select Medical will retain a majority voting interest in Group Holdings Parent following the closing of the transaction.

Concentra Inc. expects to finance the transaction and related expenses using a proposed $555.0 million senior secured incremental term facility under its existing credit facility and a proposed $240.0 million second lien term facility, for which JP Morgan Chase, N.A. has provided Concentra Inc. with a debt commitment letter.

The transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018, is subject to a number of closing conditions, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

Certain statements contained herein that are not descriptions of historical facts are "forward-looking" statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements due to factors including the following:

    --  changes in government reimbursement for our services due to the
        implementation of healthcare reform legislation, deficit reduction
        measures, 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 impact of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, which established
        payment limits for Medicare patients who do not meet specified criteria,
        may result in a reduction in net operating revenues and profitability of
        our long term acute care hospitals;
    --  the failure of our specialty hospitals to maintain their Medicare
        certifications 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;
    --  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 pending acquisition of U.S.
        HealthWorks 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; and
    --  other factors discussed from time to time in our filings with the
        Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including factors
        discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" of our quarterly reports on
        Form 10-Q and of the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
        December 31, 2016.

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.

    VIII. Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

    For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2017

    (In thousands, unaudited)


    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
    to evaluate financial performance and determine resource allocation for each of Select Medical's operating
    segments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting
    principles ("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.


    The following table reconciles net income to Adjusted EBITDA for Select Medical. Adjusted EBITDA is
    used by Select Medical to report its segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings excluding
    interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation
    expense, Physiotherapy acquisition costs, non-operating gain (loss), and equity in earnings (losses) of
    unconsolidated subsidiaries.

    IX. Reconciliation of Income per Common Share to Adjusted Income per Common Share

    For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2017

    (In thousands, except per share amounts, unaudited)


    Adjusted net income available to common stockholders and adjusted income per common share - diluted
    shares are not measures of financial performance under GAAP.  Items excluded from adjusted net income available
    to common stockholders and adjusted income per common share - diluted shares are significant components in
    understanding and assessing financial performance. Select Medical believes that the presentation of adjusted net
    income available to common stockholders and adjusted income per common share - diluted shares are important to
    investors because they are reflective of the financial performance of our ongoing operations and provide better
    comparability of our results of operations between periods. Adjusted net income available to common stockholders
    and adjusted income per common share - diluted shares should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to, or
    substitutes 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 net income available to common stockholders and adjusted income per common share - diluted
    shares are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations,
    adjusted net income available to common stockholders and adjusted income per common share - diluted shares as
    presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.


    The following tables reconcile net income available to common stockholders and income per common
    share to adjusted net income available to common stockholders and adjusted income per common share - diluted
    shares for Select Medical.  Adjusted net income available to common stockholders is defined as net income
    available to common shareholders before non-operating gain (loss) and gain (loss) on early retirement of debt.
