(million)

Net Operating Revenues ($32.0)

Adjusted EBITDA ($32.0)

Note: Effective 1/1/13; impact is
shown for 2013

(1) In any year for which there is sequestration, the reduction would be made from whatever level of payment would otherwise be provided
under Medicare law and regulations. For example, if hospital prospective payments were scheduled to increase by 4 percent, then a 2
percent reduction (that is, payment of 98 percent of the normal payment amount) would permit some increase to remain. (Source:
Conference Committee Report on the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 as Applicable to Medicare and
Medicaid Programs. Congressional Record (H 11706-11707) December 10, 1985)

• Effective 1/1/13; impact is shown for 2013

• Beyond 2013:

− Medicare reimbursement would be
subject to market basket updates less
healthcare reform adjustments.

− Medicare revenues may continue to be
subject to sequestration (1)

Reconciliation Notes for Slides 16-17

1. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s leverage ratio (total
consolidated debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters) is, likewise, a non-
GAAP financial measure. Management and some members of the investment
community utilize Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure and the leverage ratio as a
liquidity measure on an ongoing basis. These measures are not recognized in
accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP
measures of performance or liquidity. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, the reader should
be aware that in the future HealthSouth may incur expenses similar to the adjustments
set forth.

2. Per share amounts for each period presented are based on diluted weighted average
shares outstanding unless the amounts are antidilutive, in which case the per share
amount is calculated using the basic share count after subtracting the $6.5 million per
quarter dividend on the convertible perpetual preferred stock. The difference in shares
between the basic and diluted shares outstanding is primarily related to our
convertible perpetual preferred stock.

3. Adjusted EBITDA is a component of our guidance.

4. The dividends related to our convertible perpetual preferred stock must be subtracted
from income from continuing operations when calculating basic earnings per share.
