SKILLED HEALTHCARE GROUP REPORTS FULL YEAR 2012 ADJUSTED EPS OF $0.72

FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif. - February 11, 2013 - Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. (NYSE: SKH) today announced its consolidated financial operating results for the three and twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012.

"Our strong cash flows from operating activities of $43 million for the 2012 year enabled us to reduce our debt by $26.5 million to $449.0 million as of December 31, 2012, in spite of the significant challenges associated with the extraordinary Medicare rate cut and anti-efficiency program changes that discourage group and concurrent therapy, which took effect in the fourth quarter of 2011 for our skilled nursing businesses, followed by the initiation of a new Manual Medical Review by CMS for therapy services under Medicare Part B," said Boyd Hendrickson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Skilled Healthcare Group.

Mr. Hendrickson continued, “In spite of these challenges, I am proud of the remarkable job done by the clinical professionals providing care in our agencies and facilities to remain focused on maintaining high quality patient care."

Average daily hospice census grew to 1,379 for the three-months ended December 31, 2012 from 1,330 for the three-months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 3.7%. The increase in census was due in significant part to the October 2011 acquisition of two hospice agencies.

Full Year 2012 Results

Revenue for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2012 was $872.6 million, an increase of 0.5% when compared to $868.4 million in the twelve-months ended December 31, 2011. Skilled mix decreased 110 basis points to 22.1% in 2012 from 23.2% in 2011. Quality mix in 2012 decreased 140 basis points to 69.4%, compared to 70.8% in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA³ was $100.8 million, or 11.6% of revenue, for 2012, a decrease of 22.5% compared to $130.0 million, or 15.0% of revenue, in the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDAR⁵ was $119.3 million, or 13.7% of revenue, for 2012, a decrease of 19.6% compared to $148.4 million, or 17.1% of revenue, for 2011. Adjusted EBITDA includes certain items we have excluded from adjusted net income per diluted share, such as legal expenses for non-routine matters, IT outsourcing evaluation costs and amounts we recorded in 2012 for our 2011 hospice cap accrual.

Net income for 2012 was $21.6 million, as compared to a net lossof $204.0 million for 2011, which was attributable in large part to a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $270.5 million in the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted net income for 2012, totaled $27.2 million, a decrease of 35.2% compared to adjusted net income of $42.0 million for 2011. Adjusted net income for 2012, excludes certain items as described in the Reconciliation of Income (Loss) Before Provision for Income Taxes to Adjusted Net Income table at the end of this press release.

Net income per diluted share was $0.57 for 2012, as compared to net loss per share of $5.49 for 2011. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.72 for 2012, a decrease of 36.2% compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $1.13 for the same period in 2011. Additionally, outstanding debt has been reduced by $26.5 million since December 31, 2011.

Long-Term Care Services Segment

Revenue for our long-term care services segment in 2012 was $661.5 million, a decrease of $30.8 million, or 4.5%, as compared to $692.3 million for 2011. Revenue for this segment represented 75.7% of total revenue in 2012, compared to 79.8% of total revenue in 2011. The decrease in revenue was primarily related to lower reimbursement rates from the impact of the October 2011 Medicare rate cut, a decrease in our skilled mix, and a shift from Medicare days to Managed Medicare days as more seniors elect Medicare Advantage.

Therapy Services Segment

Revenue for Hallmark Rehabilitation, our rehabilitation therapy services segment, was $104.4 million for 2012, an increase of $11.6 million, or 12.5%, compared to 2011. Third-party rehabilitation therapy accounted for 12.0% of total revenue in 2012, compared to 10.7% of total revenue in 2011.

Hospice and Home Health Services Segment

Revenue for Signature Hospice and Home Health, our hospice and home health care services segment, was $106.7 million in 2012, an increase of $23.4 million, or 28.1%, compared to $83.3 million in 2011. Average daily hospice census grew to 1,397 for 2012 from 1,269 for 2011, an increase of 10.1%.

We believe that a report of adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR provides consistency in our financial reporting and provides a basis for the comparison of results of core business operations between our current, past and future periods. Adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods, including trending and analyzing the core operating performance of our business from period-to-period without the effect of U.S. GAAP expenses, revenues and gains (losses) that are unrelated to the day-to-day performance of our consolidated and segmented business. We also use adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to benchmark the performance of our consolidated and segmented business against expected results, analyzing year-over-year trends as described below and to compare our operating performance to that of our competitors.

Management uses adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to assess the performance of our core business operations, to prepare operating budgets and to measure our performance against those budgets on a consolidated and segment level. Segment management uses these metrics to measure performance on a business unit by business unit basis. We typically use adjusted net income per share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR for these purposes on a consolidated basis as the adjustments to adjusted net income per share, EBITDA and EBITDAR are not generally allocable to any individual business unit and we typically use EBITDA and EBITDAR to compare the operating performance of each skilled nursing and assisted living facility, as well as to assess the performance of our operating segments. EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are useful in this regard because they do not include such costs as interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, rent cost of revenue (in the case of EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR) and special charges, which may vary from business unit to business unit and period-to-period depending upon various factors, including the method used to finance the business, the amount of debt that we have determined to incur, whether a facility is owned or leased, the date of acquisition of a facility or business, the original purchase price of a facility or business unit or the tax law of the state in which a business unit operates. These types of charges are dependent on factors unrelated to the underlying business unit performance. As a result, we believe that the use of adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR provides a meaningful and consistent comparison of our underlying business units between periods by eliminating certain items required by U.S. GAAP which have little or no significance to their day-to-day operations.

The use of adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR and other non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Our presentation of adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR or other non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the presentation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income taxes and other items have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDAR. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Additionally, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR do not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization, interest and income taxes, capital expenditures and other items both in our reconciliations to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and in our consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

Adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR and certain other non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR and other non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP, nor should these measures be relied upon to the exclusion of U.S. GAAP financial measures. Adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR and other non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our U.S. GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. You are strongly encouraged to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
