Other sponsored modules include “Post- Stroke Depression,” “Personality Changes After Stroke,” and “Post-Stroke Pain.”


 
Encompass Health 50 Operational initiatives Build market share in high acuity conditions Independent research concludes IRFs are a better rehabilitation option for stroke patients compared to SNFs *AHA/ASA press release, “Inpatient rehab recommended over nursing homes for stroke rehab,” issued May 4, 2016. **“The Management of Stroke Rehabilitation” issued December 2019 (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/ fullarticle/2756256?resultClick=1).


 
Encompass Health 51 Operational initiatives Build market share in high acuity conditions Tablo available in 88 of our hospitals as of March 31, 2024, with additional locations planned in 2024. Approximately 5% of Encompass Health patients require dialysis services. The cost benefit per treatment is ~$300 compared to a third-party dialysis provider. Encompass Health’s in-house dialysis features a dedicated space and staff on site for ongoing patient and family education. The dialysis team consists of a nephrologist that oversees the program and RN staff with previous dialysis care experience. Benefits compared to third-party dialysis include: • Better coordination of therapy and dialysis • Recovery time from dialysis is shorter using Tablo, 2-3 hours versus 24 hours with traditional hemodialysis • Evidence of a reduction in readmissions and an increase in therapy intensity • Hospital’s clinical team can take a complete holistic approach to care • Eliminates patient transport to/from dialysis center allowing for more rest and less therapy interruption


 
Encompass Health 52 Operational initiatives Post-acute clinical innovation model


 
Encompass Health 53 Trademarked system developed in 2015 to predict a patient’s risk of being transferred back to an acute care hospital. 40 clinical variables are considered in the risk analysis with risk levels assigned to each patient. High risk levels generate action items for the clinical staff to intervene and evaluate the patient. The Company’s performance since the system was fully implemented in 2017 is shown below. Operational initiatives Post-acute solutions Initiated in November 2021 to provide clinicians a near-real-time evaluation of each patient’s fall risk. 50 clinical elements are considered and patients are assigned risk levels. Fall prevention strategies and workflows are created and assigned based on risk assessment. The Company began implementation in 2021 with an enterprise wide year of utilization in 2022. The Readmission Prediction Model was initiated in October 2020. A patient’s probability of readmission to an acute care hospital post IRF discharge is assessed based on diagnoses, medications, lab results, vitals and other patient information. The Innovation Center’s ongoing strategy includes: • Regular updating of models to stay ahead of model degradation and to incorporate advances in AI • Improve ease of learning and adoption by standardizing categories for all models and optimizing training resources for onboarding and continuing education *Reflects COVID impact **Acute care transfer rate = acute care transfers / total number of discharges ***Fall rate = number of patient falls per 1,000 patient days Our goals are to optimize our predictive tools and to use our extensive clinical database to further improve patient outcomes Acute Care Transfer Rate (%)** Fall Rate*** 8.33 7.38 6.93 6.31 2020 2021 2022 2023 10.67 10.42 10.33 11.22 10.57 10.27 9.87 2017 2018 2019 2020* 2021 2022 2023

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 1,153 inpatient rehabilitation facilities used to estimate the policy updates for the FY 2025 IRF-PPS Proposed Rule. Most of the data represents historical information from the CMS fiscal year 2022 and 2023 periods and may or may not reflect the same Encompass Health hospitals in operation today. The total was reduced by one to reflect the closure of Rehabilitation Hospital of Western Wisconsin, LLC (closed February 2024). (6) 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. The CARES Act temporarily suspended the automatic 2% sequestration reduction for the period from May 1 through December 31, 2020. The 2021 Budget Act extended the sequestration suspension through March 31, 2021. An Act to Prevent Across-the-Board Direct Spending Cuts, and for Other Purposes, signed into law on April 14, 2021, extended the suspension period to December 31, 2021. The Protecting Medicare and American Farmers from Sequester Cuts Act impacts payments for all Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) claims extending the suspension through March 31, 2022, a payment adjustment of 1% from April 1 to June 30, 2022, and full 2% sequestration beginning July 1, 2022. (7) 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, distributions to noncontrolling interests, and certain other items deemed to be non-indicative of ongoing operating performance. 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 21, 2024, to which this Investor Reference Book is attached as Exhibit 99.1.* (8) 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 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 21, 2024, to which this Investor Reference Book is attached as Exhibit 99.1.* (9) The conversion rate of inpatient rehabilitation eligible patients is based on patients who are discharged from acute-care hospitals with one or more of 13 specified medical conditions that CMS ties to IRF eligibility based on Medicare fee-for-service data, which is the only publicly available data on the subject.

(11) In the second quarter of 2021, the Company redeemed a total of $200 million of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023 ($100 million in April and $100 million in June). The redemptions were completed at 100% of par using cash on hand and drawings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. As a result of the redemptions, the Company recorded a $1.0 million loss on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2021. (12) In the first quarter of 2022, the Company redeemed the remaining $100 million of its 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023. The redemption was completed at 100% of par using drawings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. As a result of the redemption, the Company recorded a $0.3 million loss on early extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2022. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company redeemed approximately $236 million of its term loan due 2024 and fully repaid the $250 million outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility. The redemption was completed using proceeds which were dividended from Enhabit. As a result of the redemption, the Company recorded a $1.1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2022. (13) In May of 2023, the governor of South Carolina signed into law S.164, which repealed the requirement of certain healthcare providers to obtain and/or maintain a certificate of need (“CON”). As a results of this repeal, in Q2 2023 the Company accelerated amortization of approximately $6 million in remaining carrying value of our South Carolina CON assets, increasing depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $6 million and reducing noncontrolling interest in continuing operations by approximately $2 million (related to our joint venture partner’s share of income at one impacted location). The impact of these adjustments have been excluded from the calculation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2023 given the non-recurring nature of the CON repeal (Florida is the only other state in recent history to repeal its CON law) is not indicative of ongoing operating performance.
