Operating Results per share, a non-GAAP measure, equals net income attributable to USPH shareholders per the consolidated statements of net income, and excludes the impact of the gain on the sale of a partnership interest and the revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest, net of tax, to calculate earnings per share. On June 30, 2019, the Company sold its 50% interest in one physical therapy partnership to the group’s founders for $11.6 million and recognized a pre-tax gain of $5.8 million on the sale.
 
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, USPH’s net income attributable to its shareholders was $14.6 million, inclusive of the gain on the sale of the partnership interest, as compared to $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. Inclusive of the charge for revaluation of non-controlling interest, net of tax, used to compute diluted earnings per share, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), in the recent quarter, the amount is $10.8 million, or $0.85 per share, as compared to $6.0 million, or $0.48 per share for the second quarter of 2018.  For the six months ended June 30, 2019, USPH’s net income attributable to its shareholders, in accordance with GAAP, was $23.1 million as compared to $16.4 million for the comparable period of 2018. Inclusive of the charge for revaluation of non-controlling interest, net of tax, used to compute diluted earnings per share, in accordance with GAAP, in the recent six months, the amount is $15.8 million, or $1.24 per share, as compared to $9.4 million, or $0.74 per share for the second quarter of 2018.  In accordance with current accounting guidance, the revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest, net of tax, is not included in net income but charged directly to retained earnings and is included in the earnings per basic and diluted share calculation.  See the schedule on page 8 for the computation of diluted earnings per share.

OPERATING RESULTS AND ADJUSTED EBITDA
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(unaudited)
 
 
The following tables provide detail of the diluted earnings per share computation and reconcile net income attributable to USPH shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP to Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes providing Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA to investors is useful information for comparing the Company's period-to-period results.   
 
Operating Results (as defined below), a non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) measure, equals net income attributable to USPH shareholders. In accordance with current accounting guidance, the revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest, net of tax, is not included in net income but charged directly to retained earnings and is included in the earnings per basic and diluted share calculation.

Management uses Operating Results, which eliminates the non-current cash item related to the revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest that can be subject to volatility and unusual costs, as one of the principal measures to evaluate and monitor financial performance period over period.  Management believes that Operating Results is useful information for investors to use in comparing the Company's period-to-period results as well as for comparing with other similar businesses since most do not have mandatorily redeemable instruments and therefore have different liability and equity structures. 
 
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to USPH shareholders before interest income, interest expense – debt and other, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity-based awards compensation expense.   Management believes reporting Adjusted EBITDA is useful information for investors in comparing the Company’s period-to-period results as well as comparing with similar businesses which report adjusted EBITDA as defined by their company. 
 
Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income attributable to USPH shareholders presented in the consolidated financial statements.
