IMPACT Act of 2014 - enacted Oct. 6, 2014 Company observations and considerations with respect to the IMPACT Act: It was developed on a bi-partisan basis by the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees ▪ and incorporated feedback from healthcare providers and provider organizations that responded to the Committees’ solicitation of post-acute payment reform ideas and proposals. It directs the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), in consultation with ▪ healthcare stakeholders, to implement standardized data collection processes for post-acute quality and resource use measures. Although the IMPACT Act does not specifically call for the implementation of a new post-acute payment system, the Company believes this Act will lay the foundation for possible future post-acute ▪ payment policies that would be based on patients’ medical conditions and other clinical factors rather than the setting where the care is provided. It has created additional data collection and reporting requirements for the Company’s IRFs and home health agencies. While the Company cannot quantify the potential financial effect of the IMPACT Act on Encompass Health, the Company believes any post-acute payment system that is data driven and focuses on the ▪ needs and underlying medical conditions of post-acute patients will be positive for providers who offer high-quality, cost-effective care. Encompass Health believes it is doing just that and expects this act will be positive for the Company. However, it will likely take years for the quality data to be gathered, standardized patient assessment data to be assembled and disseminated, and potential payment policies to be developed, tested and ▪ promulgated. As a national leader in integrated healthcare services, offering both facility-based and home-based patient care, the Company looks forward to working with HHS, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission and other healthcare stakeholders on these initiatives.

The post-acute landscape continues to evolve.

New payment systems for LTCHs, IRFs, SNFs and HHAs are part of these broader changes. ▪ To succeed, providers must adapt to changes in the regulatory and operating environments, build strategic relationships across the healthcare continuum, and consistently provide high-quality care at a cost-effective price.

2019 JAMA published article comparing functional improvements of stroke patients receiving care in IRF vs SNF Conclusions This cohort study found that Medicare beneficiaries who received services at an IRF after a stroke demonstrated greater improvement in mobility and self-care compared with patients who received inpatient rehabilitation at a SNF. A significant difference in functional improvement remained after accounting for patient, clinical, and facility characteristics at admission. Our findings indicate the need to carefully manage discharge to postacute care based on the patient's needs and potential for recovery. Postacute care reform based on the IMPACT Act must avoid a payment system that shifts patients with stroke who could benefit from intensive inpatient rehabilitation to lower cost settings. “The Management of Stroke Rehabilitation” issued December 2019 (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/ Encompass Health jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2756256?resultClick=1) 46

Lawmakers in several states have recently proposed modification or even full repeal of CON laws. In July 2019, Florida enacted legislation to repeal CON laws for several provider types including IRFs. Effective July 1,2019, existing IRFs became eligible to expand without first obtaining a CON. Effective July 1, 2021, new IRFs may operate without first obtaining a CON. EHC now includes 947 existing licensed beds in Florida as licensed beds in non-CON states. Encompass Health 54


 
Overview of rollover shares and SARs previously held by members of the home health and hospice management team Background In connection with the 2014 acquisition of Encompass Home Health and Hospice: • Certain members of that management team rolled a portion of their pre-acquisition equity into the post-acquisition entity (“Home Health Holdings”) resulting in a 16.7% ownership interest (the “Rollover Shares”). • The Company also granted stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) based on the fair value of the common Home Health stock of Home Health Holdings to certain members of that management team. Half of the SARs Holdings vested on Jan. 1, 2019, and the other half vested on Jan. 1, 2020. • Home Health Holdings was capitalized with a promissory note to the parent company totaling approximately $385 million (equal to 5.5x the segment’s 2014 EBITDA). This was done to provide the Original opportunity for leveraged returns on the equity, thereby mimicking a private equity transaction Rollover structure. Shares 16.7% • To the extent Home Health Holdings needed cash (e.g., acquisitions, capex, etc.), such amounts were added to the principal amount of the original note and subsequent new notes. Cash generated from the operations of Home Health Holdings has been used to pay interest and a portion of the principal on the notes. Holder – The right (but not the obligation) to sell for cash up to 1/3 of the Rollover Shares to the parent after 1/1/18; Options 2/3 after 1/1/19; and all outstanding Rollover Shares after 1/1/20 Company – The right (but not the obligation) to purchase for cash all or any portion of the Rollover Shares after 1/1/20 Fair value of the Rollover Shares and SARs was determined using the product of Home Health Holdings’ EBITDA for the Valuation trailing 12-month period and a median market price multiple based on a basket of public home health companies and recent transactions, less the current balance of the intracompany note(s) to the parent. In Feb. 2018, July 2019, and Jan. 2020, holders exercised their rights to sell Rollover Shares to EHC. EHC settled the exercises upon payment of approximately $65 million, approximately $163 million, and approximately $162 million in Q1 2018, Q3 2019 and Q1 2020, respectively. After the approximate $162 million payment was made in February 2020, only $46 million of the rollover shares remained outstanding, representing approximately 1.2% Home Health Holdings. In Q1 2019 and Q3 2019, holders exercised vested SARs for cash proceeds of approximately $13 million and Activity approximately $55 million, respectively. In Q1 2020, holders exercised the remaining SARs for cash proceeds of approximately $101 million. On Feb. 20, 2020, the Company and each of April Anthony and Luke James agreed to exchange the remaining rollover shares (approximately $45 million and $1 million, respectively) for an equal value of shares of EHC. The exchange settled in March 2020. Encompass Health 55

End Notes (1) Under this program, Joint Commission accredited organizations, like the Company’s IRFs, may seek certification for chronic diseases or conditions such as brain injury or stroke rehabilitation by complying with Joint Commission standards, effectively using evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to manage and optimize patient care, and using an organized approach to performance measurement and evaluation of clinical outcomes. Obtaining such certifications demonstrates the Company’s commitment to excellence in providing disease-specific care. (2) In March 2020, the federal government began to undertake numerous legislative and regulatory initiatives designed to provide relief to the healthcare industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. These actions included temporary suspension of certain patient coverage criteria and documentation and care requirements. The CARES Act regulatory relief for IRFs specifically includes the temporary suspension of the requirement that patients must be able to tolerate a minimum of three hours of therapy per day for five days per week, waiver to permit the exclusion of COVID-19 patients from the calculation of the requirement that at least 60% of a facility’s patients must have a diagnosis from at least one of 13 specified medical conditions that typically require intensive therapy and supervision, and waiver of the requirement for a physician to conduct and document a post-admission evaluation. In addition, requirement of face-to-face visits at least three days a week may be fulfilled using telehealth. For home health, the relief includes the allowance of nurse practitioners and physician assistants under certain conditions to certify, establish and periodically review the plan of care, as well as supervise the provision of items and services for beneficiaries under the Medicare home health benefit and expands the use of telehealth. In addition, CMS expanded the definition of “homebound” to include patients who are homebound due solely to their COVID-19 diagnosis. For hospice, the CARES Act includes the temporary waiver of the requirement to use volunteers and to conduct a nurse visit every two weeks to evaluate aides, as well as the expanded use of telehealth. (3) Data compares Encompass Health IRFs to IRFs comprising the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (“UDSMR”), a division of UB Foundation Activities, Inc., a data gathering and analysis organization for the rehabilitation industry which represents approximately 80% of the industry, including Encompass Health sites. Data is adjusted by applying Encompass Health IRF case-mix to non-Encompass Health UDS IRFs. (4) Source: https://data.medicare.gov/data/home-health-compare.

The data presented was developed entirely by CMS and is based on its definitions which are different in form and substance from the criteria Encompass Health uses for external reporting purposes. Because CMS does not provide its detailed methodology, Encompass Health is not able to reconstruct the CMS projections or the calculation. • The CMS file contains data for each of the 1,117 inpatient rehabilitation facilities used to estimate the policy updates for the FY 2021 IRF-PPS Proposed Rule. Most of the data represents historical information from the CMS fiscal year 2019 period and may or may not reflect the same Encompass Health hospitals in operation today. (8) The Budget Control Act of 2011 included a reduction of up to 2% to Medicare payments for all providers that began on April 1, 2013 (as modified by H.R. 8). The reduction was made from whatever level of payment would otherwise have been provided under Medicare law and regulation. Note: The CARES Act temporarily suspends the automatic 2% sequestration reduction for the period from May 1 through December 31, 2020. (9) As a result of negotiations with our partner to amend the joint venture agreement related to Yuma Rehabilitation Hospital, the accounting for this hospital changed from the equity method of accounting to a consolidated entity effective July 1, 2019. We accounted for this change in control as a business combination and consolidated this entity using the acquisition method. As a result of our consolidation of this hospital and the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest at fair value, we recorded a $19.2 million gain as part of other income in the third quarter of 2019. (10) As a result of an amendment to the joint venture agreement related to our home health location in Treasure Coast, Florida, the accounting for this agency changed from the equity method of accounting to a consolidated entity effective January 1, 2020. We accounted for this change in control as a business combination and consolidated this entity using the acquisition method. As a result of our consolidation of this agency and the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest at fair value, we recorded a $2.2 million gain as part of other income in the first quarter of 2020.

End Notes, con't. (11) On April 16, 2020, CMS released its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Fiscal Year 2021 for inpatient rehabilitation facilities under the inpatient rehabilitation facility prospective payment system (the “2021 Proposed IRF Rule”). The 2021 Proposed IRF Rule would implement a net 2.5% market basket increase (market basket update of 2.9% reduced by a productivity adjustment of 0.4%) effective for discharges between October 1, 2020 and September 30, 2021. The 2021 Proposed IRF Rule also includes changes that impact our hospital-by-hospital base rate for Medicare reimbursement. Such changes include, but are not limited to, revisions to the wage index and labor-related share values. The 2021 Proposed IRF Rule would update case-mix group relative weights and average lengths of stay values. The 2021 Proposed IRF Rule would also remove the post-admission physician evaluation requirement for all IRF discharges beginning on or after October 1, 2020, codify certain inpatient rehabilitation coverage documentation requirements, and, under certain conditions, allow the use of non-physician practitioners to perform the IRF services and documentation requirements currently required to be performed by the rehabilitation physician. Based on our analysis that utilizes, among other things, the acuity of our patients over the six-month period prior to the 2021 Proposed IRF Rule’s release, our experience with outlier payments over this same time frame, and other factors, we believe the 2021 Proposed IRF Rule will result in a net increase to our Medicare payment rates of approximately 2.4% effective October 1, 2020. (12) In September 2019, the Company issued $500 million of 4.5% Senior Notes due 2028 and $500 million of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2030. The proceeds were used to fund the purchase of the home health rollover shares and exercise of SARs in Q3 2019, fund a call of $400 million of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2024 in Q4 2019, and repay borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. In May 2020, the Company re-opened these notes and issued an additional $300 million of 4.5% Senior Notes due 2028 and $300 million of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2030. The proceeds were used to repay certain borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for other corporate purposes.

The Company’s leverage ratio (total consolidated debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters) is, likewise, a non-GAAP 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 the Company may incur expenses similar to the adjustments set forth. Further explanation and disclosure relating to Adjusted EBITDA are included in the Company’s Form 8-K, dated June 2, 2020, to which this Investor Reference Book is attached as Exhibit 99.1.* Encompass Health *Reconciliations to GAAP provided on pages 89-97. 101


 
End Notes, con't. (20) The Company is providing adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Encompass Health (“adjusted earnings per share”), which is a non-GAAP measure. The Company believes the presentation of adjusted earnings per share provides useful additional information to investors because it provides better comparability of ongoing operating performance to prior periods given that it excludes the impact of government, class action, and related settlements, professional fees - accounting, tax, and legal, mark-to-market adjustments for stock appreciation rights, gains or losses related to hedging and equity instruments, loss on early extinguishment of debt, adjustments to its income tax provision (such as valuation allowance adjustments and settlements of income tax claims), items related to corporate and facility restructurings, and certain other items deemed to be non-indicative of ongoing operating performance. It is reasonable to expect that one or more of these excluded items will occur in future periods, but the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period and may not directly relate to the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Accordingly, they can complicate comparisons of the Company’s results of operations across periods and comparisons of the Company’s results to those of other healthcare companies. Adjusted earnings per share should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States as the items excluded from it are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because adjusted earnings per share is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, it may not be comparable as presented to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Further explanation and disclosure relating to adjusted EPS are included in the Company’s Form 8-K, June 2, 2020, to which this Investor Reference Book is attached as Exhibit 99.1.* (21) Definition of adjusted free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, is net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations minus capital expenditures for maintenance, dividends paid on preferred stock, distributions to noncontrolling interests, and certain other items deemed to be non-indicative of ongoing operating performance, including government, class action, and related settlements and transaction costs. Common stock dividends are not included in the calculation of adjusted free cash flow. Because this measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Further explanation and disclosure relating to adjusted free cash flow are included in the Company’s Form 8-K, dated June 2, 2020, to which this Investor Reference Book is attached as Exhibit 99.1.* (22) On July 20, 2017, the board of directors approved a $0.01 per share, or 4.2%, increase to the quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock, bringing the quarterly cash dividend to $0.25 per common share. On July 24, 2018, the board of directors approved a $0.02 per share, or 8.0%, increase to the quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock, bringing the quarterly cash dividend to $0.27 per common share. On July 23, 2019, the board of directors approved a $0.01 per share, or 3.7%, increase to the quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock, bringing the quarterly cash dividend to $0.28 per common share. (23) The application of the lower income tax rate that resulted from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulted in a net $13.6 million decrease in tax expense in Q4 2017. Application of the new tax rate to the Company’s joint venture entities’ deferred tax liabilities resulted in a net reduction in tax expense in Q4 2017. The Company’s joint venture partners’ share of this net tax benefit was $4.6 million, which resulted in an increase in noncontrolling interest expense in Q4 2017. (24) In November 2013, the Company closed separate, privately negotiated exchanges in which it issued $320 million of 2.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2043 in exchange for 257,110 shares of its 6.5% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock. The Company recorded ~$249 million as debt and ~$71 million as equity. In May 2017, the Company provided notice of its intent to redeem all $320 million of outstanding convertible notes. In lieu of receiving the redemption price, the holders had the right to convert their notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 27.2221 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which rate was increased by a make-whole premium. In the aggregate, holders of $319.4 million in principal elected to convert, which resulted in the Company issuing 8,895,483 shares of common stock (approximately 8.6 million shares were previously included in the diluted share count). The remaining $0.6 million of principal was redeemed by cash payment. Encompass Health *Reconciliations to GAAP provided on pages 89-97. 102
