CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains historical information, as well as forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and relate to, among other things, future events, changes to Medicare reimbursement and other healthcare laws and regulations from time to time, our business strategy, labor cost trends, our dividend and stock repurchase strategies, our financial plans, our growth plans, our future financial performance, our projected business results, or our projected capital expenditures. In some cases, the reader can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “targets,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Any forward-looking statement is based on information current as of the date of this report and speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Actual events or results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, the factors described below could cause, and in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic has already caused, actual results to differ materially from those estimated by us.
•Each of the factors discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as uncertainties and factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including in the “Executive Overview—Key Challenges” section of Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our other filings from time to time with the SEC, or in materials incorporated therein by reference.
•We are highly concentrated in our primary line of business, particularly with respect to Medicare regulations and reimbursement.
•Reductions or delays in, or suspension of, reimbursement for our services by governmental or private payors, including our inability to obtain and retain favorable arrangements with third-party payors, could decrease our revenues and adversely affect other operating results.
•The disruption to the operations of Medicare and Medicaid as a result of a long-lasting federal government shutdown could delay reimbursements for care and impede some regulatory processes, such as provider enrollment.
•Restrictive interpretations of the regulations governing the claims that are reimbursable by Medicare could decrease our revenues and adversely affect other operating results.
•Reimbursement claims are subject to various audits and such audits may lead to assertions that we have been overpaid or have submitted improper claims, and these assertions have in the past and will in the future require us to incur additional costs to respond to requests for records and defend the validity of payments and to refund any amounts determined to have been overpaid.
•The use by governmental agencies and contractors of statistical sampling and extrapolation may substantially expand claims of overpayment or noncompliance.
•Substantive and procedural deficiencies in the administrative appeals process associated with denied Medicare reimbursement claims, including from various Medicare audit programs, have in the past and could in the future delay or reduce our reimbursement for services previously provided, including through recoupment from other claims due to us from Medicare.
•Efforts to reduce payments to healthcare providers undertaken by third-party payors and conveners could adversely affect our revenues or profitability.
•Changes in our payor mix or the acuity of our patients could reduce our revenues or profitability.
•Significant reforms or limitations to Medicaid at the federal and state levels, such as those reducing coverage or provider reimbursement including supplemental payments, could adversely affect our revenues directly or indirectly by affecting acute-care providers who refer patients to us.
•Changes in the rules and regulations of the healthcare industry at the federal, state, and local levels, including those contemplated now and in the future as part of healthcare reform and deficit reduction (such as the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Review Choice Demonstration, the re-basing of payment systems, the introduction of site neutral payments or case-mix weightings across post-acute settings, and other payment system reforms) could decrease revenues and increase the costs of complying with the rules and regulations and have done so in the past from time to time.
ii
•Alternative payment models and value-based purchasing initiatives could decrease our patient volumes and reimbursement rate or increase costs associated with our operations.
•Compliance with the extensive and frequently changing laws and regulations applicable to healthcare providers, including those related to patient care, coding and billing, data privacy and security, consumer protection, anti-trust, and employment practices, requires substantial time, effort and expense, and if we fail to comply, we could incur penalties and significant costs of investigating and defending asserted claims, whether meritorious or not, or be required to make significant changes to our operations, including potentially closing a facility.
•Our inability to maintain proper local, state and federal licensing, including compliance with the Medicare conditions of participation and provider enrollment requirements could decrease our revenues.
•Incidents affecting the proper operation, availability, or security of our or our payors’, vendors’ or partners’ information systems, including the patient information stored there, or business continuity could cause substantial losses and adversely affect our operations and governmental mandates to increase use of electronic records and interoperability exacerbate that risk.
•Any adverse outcome of various lawsuits, claims, and legal or regulatory proceedings, including disclosed and undisclosed qui tam suits, could be difficult to predict and could adversely affect our financial results or condition or our operations, and we could experience increased costs of defending and insuring against alleged professional liability and other claims.
•Our inability to successfully complete and integrate de novo developments, acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures consistent with our growth strategy, including realization of anticipated revenues, cost savings, productivity improvements arising from the related operations and avoidance of unanticipated difficulties, costs or liabilities that could arise from acquisitions or integrations could adversely affect our financial results or condition.
•Our inability to attract and retain nurses, therapists, and other healthcare professionals in a highly competitive environment with often severe staffing shortages and potential union activity could increase staffing costs and adversely affect other financial and operating results and has done so in the past.
•Competitive pressures in the healthcare industry, including from large acute-care hospitals that would typically serve as referral sources for us, and our response to those pressures could adversely affect our revenues or other financial results.
•Medicare quality reporting requirements could adversely affect our operating costs or Medicare reimbursement.
•Our inability to provide a consistently high quality of care, including as represented in metrics published by Medicare, could decrease our revenues.
•Our inability to maintain or develop relationships with patient referral sources, including our joint venture hospitals, or managed care payors could decrease our revenues.
•Acute-care hospitals that participate in joint ventures with us may experience, and in the past some have experienced, operational or financial challenges that, in turn, affect our joint venture inpatient rehabilitation hospitals.
•A pandemic, epidemic, or other widespread outbreak of an infectious disease or other public health crisis, and governmental responses to those events, could decrease our patient volumes, pricing, and revenues, lead to staffing and supply shortages and associated cost increases, otherwise interrupt operations, or lead to increased litigation risk and, in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, has already done so in many instances.
•Regional, particularly Texas or Florida, or global socio-political, weather, or other catastrophic events have previously severely disrupted, and could again in the future disrupt, our business, including indirectly by affecting the patient population and referral sources in our markets.
•Regulatory and other efforts to promote a transition to a lower-carbon economy may result in significant operational and financial challenges for us.
•Our inability to maintain infectious disease prevention and control efforts that are required and effectively minimize the spread among patients and employees could decrease our patient volumes and revenues, lead to staffing shortages or otherwise interrupt operations, or lead to increased litigation risk.
iii
•Our debt and the associated restrictive covenants could have negative consequences for our business and limit our ability to execute aspects of our business plan successfully.
•The price of our common stock could adversely affect our willingness and ability to repurchase shares.
•We may be unable or unwilling to continue to declare and pay dividends on our common stock.
•General conditions in the economy and capital markets, including inflation (such as impacts from tariffs), any disruption, instability, or uncertainty related to armed conflict or an act of terrorism, a governmental impasse over approval of the United States federal budget or an increase to the debt ceiling, an international trade war, or a sovereign debt crisis could adversely affect our financial results or condition, including access to the capital markets.
The cautionary statements referred to in this section also should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that may be issued by us or persons acting on our behalf. We undertake no duty to update these forward-looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

1.Basis of Presentation
Encompass Health Corporation (the “Company” or “Encompass Health”), incorporated in Delaware in 1984, including its subsidiaries, is a provider of inpatient rehabilitation services. Our national network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals stretches across 39 states and Puerto Rico, with concentrations of hospitals in Florida and Texas. As of September 30, 2025, we operated 170 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. We are the sole owner of 104 of these hospitals. We retain 50.0 % to 97.5 % ownership in the remaining 66 jointly owned hospitals.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Encompass Health Corporation and Subsidiaries should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in Encompass Health’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10‑K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been omitted in these interim statements, as allowed by such SEC rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from audited financial statements, but it does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain prior year amounts may have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-year financial statement presentation.
The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods shown in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements recognize all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for each interim period presented.
Net Operating Revenues—
Our Net operating revenues disaggregated by payor source are as follows (in millions):

See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10-K for our policy related to Net operating revenues.
Marketable Securities—
We record all equity securities with readily determinable fair values and for which we do not exercise significant influence at fair value and record the change in fair value for the reporting period in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We record debt securities with readily determinable fair values and for which we do not exercise significant influence as available-for-sale securities. We carry the available-for-sale securities at fair value and report unrealized holding gains or losses, net of income taxes, in Accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate component of shareholders’ equity. We recognize realized gains and losses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations using the specific

identification method. Unrealized losses are charged against earnings when a decline in fair value was determined to be other than temporary. Management reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other than temporary, such as the length of time a security is in an unrealized loss position, the extent to which fair value is less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, industry, or geographic area and our ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Affiliates—
Effective July 1, 2024, we expanded our existing joint venture with Piedmont Healthcare (“Piedmont”), which we control, by contributing the assets and operations of our previously wholly-owned 70 -bed hospital in Augusta, Georgia. Piedmont contributed approximately $90 million on July 1, 2024, which indirectly resulted in Piedmont obtaining a 50 % ownership interest in the hospital. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a post-tax gain of $22.9 million increasing Capital in excess of par value on the condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the nine months ending September 30, 2024. The contribution from Piedmont is included in Contributions from noncontrolling interests of consolidated affiliates on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires all public entities, including entities with a single reportable segment, to provide disclosure of (1) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, (2) the amount and description of the composition of other segment items which reconcile to segment profit or loss, and (3) the title and position of the entity’s CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. ASU 2023-07 was effective for us beginning January 1, 2024. The disclosures required are presented in Note 12, Segment Reporting.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted—
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which intends to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring companies to (1) disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective rate reconciliation and (2) provide information on income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025. We are required to apply the guidance prospectively but have the option to apply it retrospectively. While we are currently evaluating the requirements of this standard and any potential impact it may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements, we expect to update our annual tax disclosures as a result of the new standard.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories within the notes to the financial statements for both interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the requirements of this standard and any potential impact it may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,” which intends to modernize the guidance related to internal-use software costs to reflect current software development methods. ASU 2025-06 requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. ASU 2025-06 is effective for our annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance can be applied on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or on a retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the requirements of this standard and any potential impact it may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We do not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

2.Business Combinations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we completed the following acquisition which was not individually material to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The acquisition was made to enhance our position and ability to provide inpatient rehabilitation services to patients in the applicable geographic area.
•In May 2025, we acquired 51 % of the operations of a 54 -bed inpatient rehabilitation unit in Fort Myers, Florida when Lee Healthcare Holdings, LLC contributed those operations to our existing joint venture.
We accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting and reported the results of operations of the acquired unit from the date of acquisition. Assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The estimated fair value of the noncompete intangible asset was based on an income approach using discounted cash flow techniques. The aforementioned income method utilizes management’s estimates of future operating results and cash flows discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital. The excess of the fair value of the consideration conveyed over the fair value of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill reflects our expectations of our ability to gain access to and penetrate the acquired unit’s historical patient base and the benefits of being able to leverage operational efficiencies with favorable growth opportunities based on positive demographic trends in this market. None of the goodwill recorded as a result of this transaction is deductible for federal income tax purposes.
The fair values recorded were based upon a preliminary valuation. Estimates and assumptions used in such valuation are subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary valuation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of amounts for the intangible asset and the final amount of residual goodwill. We expect to continue to obtain information to assist us in determining the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period.
The fair value of the assets acquired at the acquisition dates were as follows (in millions):

3.Variable Interest Entities
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we consolidated eight 50.0 % to 75.0 % as of September 30, 2025. Through partnership and management agreements with or governing each of these entities, we manage all of these entities and handle all day-to-day operating decisions. Accordingly, we have the decision-making power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of our VIEs and an obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. These decisions and significant activities include, but are not limited to, marketing efforts, oversight of patient admissions, medical training, nurse and therapist scheduling, provision of healthcare services, billing, collections, and creation and maintenance of medical records. The terms of the agreements governing each of our VIEs prohibit us from using the assets of each VIE to satisfy the obligations of other entities.

4.Marketable Securities
Restricted marketable securities at both balance sheet dates represent restricted assets held at HCS, Ltd (“HCS”), our consolidated wholly owned offshore captive insurance company. HCS insures a substantial portion of Encompass Health’s professional liability, workers’ compensation, and other insurance claims. These funds are committed for payment of claims incurred, and the classification of these marketable securities as current or noncurrent depends on the classification of the corresponding claims liability. As of September 30, 2025, $34.1 million of restricted marketable securities are included in Other current assets and $105.7 million of restricted marketable securities are included in Other long-term assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, $39.0 million of restricted marketable securities are included in Other current assets and $91.9 million are included in Other long-term assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, $1.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of unrealized net gains (losses) were recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations on equity securities still held at the reporting date. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, $2.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of unrealized net gains (losses) were recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations on equity securities still held at the reporting date.

Fair values for our long-term debt and financial commitments are determined using inputs, including quoted prices in nonactive markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly, or Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Fair Value Measurements,” to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10‑K.
8.Share-Based Payments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we issued a total of 0.4 million restricted stock awards to members of our management team and our board of directors. Of the restricted stock awards issued to members of our management team, 0.1 million contain only a service condition, while the remainder contain a service and/or performance condition as well as a market condition for certain members of management. For the awards that include a performance and market condition, the number of shares that will ultimately be granted to employees may vary based on the Company’s performance during the applicable three-year performance measurement period. Additionally, we granted 0.1 million stock options to members of our management team. The fair value of these awards and options was determined using the policies described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 13, Share-Based Payments, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10‑K.
9.Income Taxes
Our Provision for income tax expense of $44.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily resulted from the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate. Our Provision for income tax expense of $137.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily resulted from the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by tax benefits resulting from share-based compensation windfalls. Our Provision for income tax expense of $36.0 million and $112.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, primarily resulted from the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate partially offset by tax benefits resulting from share-based compensation windfalls.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA contains a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. While tax changes in the OBBBA are not expected to have a material impact on our effective tax rate, we do anticipate that certain tax provisions in the OBBBA, namely the provision that permanently extends bonus depreciation for assets placed in service after January 19, 2025 and the provision allowing for immediate expensing of certain research and development costs, to result in current deductions that will result in lower cash income tax for 2025. We currently estimate these provisions to produce an additional approximately $180 million in current deductions resulting in approximately $50 million in cash tax savings in 2025. We continue to evaluate the tax and other provisions of the OBBBA and the potential effects on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

11.Contingencies and Other Commitments
We provide services in the highly regulated healthcare industry. Furthermore, operating inpatient rehabilitation hospitals requires significant staffing and involves intensive therapy for individuals suffering from significant physical or cognitive disabilities or injuries. As a result, various lawsuits, claims, and legal and regulatory proceedings have been and can be expected to be instituted or asserted against us. The resolution of any such lawsuits, claims, or legal and regulatory proceedings could materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in a given period.
Other Matters—
The False Claims Act allows private citizens, called “relators,” to institute civil proceedings on behalf of the United States alleging violations of the False Claims Act. These lawsuits, also known as “whistleblower” or “qui tam” actions, can involve significant monetary damages, fines, attorneys’ fees and the award of bounties to the relators who successfully prosecute or bring these suits to the government. Qui tam cases are sealed at the time of filing, which means knowledge of the information contained in the complaint typically is limited to the relator, the federal government, and the presiding court. The defendant in a qui tam action may remain unaware of the existence of a sealed complaint or its specific claims for years. While the complaint is under seal, the government reviews the merits of the case and may conduct a broad investigation and seek discovery from the defendant and other parties before deciding whether to intervene in the case and take the lead on litigating the claims. The court lifts the seal when the government makes its decision on whether to intervene. If the government decides not to intervene, the relator may elect to continue to pursue the lawsuit individually on behalf of the government. It is possible that qui tam lawsuits have been filed against us, which suits remain under seal, or that we are unaware of such filings or precluded by existing law or court order from discussing or disclosing the filing of such suits. We may be subject to liability under one or more undisclosed qui tam cases brought pursuant to the False Claims Act.
It is our obligation as a participant in Medicare and other federal healthcare programs to routinely conduct audits and reviews of the accuracy of our billing systems and other regulatory compliance matters. As a result of these reviews, we have made, and will continue to make, disclosures to the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services relating to amounts we suspect represent over-payments from these programs, whether due to inaccurate billing or otherwise. Some of these disclosures have resulted in, and may in the future result in, Encompass Health refunding amounts to Medicare or other federal healthcare programs.
Other Commitments—
We are a party to service and other contracts in connection with conducting our business. Minimum amounts due under these agreements are $20.4 million for the remainder of 2025, $53.9 million in 2026, $35.9 million in 2027, $30.3 million in 2028, $25.7 million in 2029, and $60.6 million thereafter. These contracts primarily relate to software licensing and support and medical equipment.

We manage our operations using one
The accounting policies of our reportable segment are the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10‑K. All revenues for our services are generated through external customers. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, “Net Operating Revenues,” for the disaggregation of our revenues. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer. Our CODM evaluates the performance and allocates resources based on adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Our CODM primarily considers forecast-to-budget variances and current year actuals to prior year actuals variances to assess performance and to help inform operating decisions, including allocating resources.

Executive Overview
Our Business
We are the nation’s largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals (“IRFs”) in terms of patients treated, revenues, and number of hospitals. We provide specialized rehabilitative treatment on an inpatient basis. We operate IRFs in 39 states and Puerto Rico, with concentrations in Florida and Texas. As of September 30, 2025, we operated 170 IRFs. For additional information about our business, see Item 1, Business, and Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2024 Form 10‑K.
2025 Overview
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Net operating revenues increased 9.4% and 10.6%, respectively, over the same periods of 2024 due primarily to volume growth and increased pricing.

Business Outlook
We remain optimistic regarding the intermediate and long-term prospects of our business. Demographic trends, such as population aging, should continue to increase long-term demand for the services we provide. While we treat patients of all ages, most of our patients are 65 and older, and the number of Medicare enrollees is expected to grow approximately 3% per year for the foreseeable future, reaching approximately 71 million people over the age of 65 by 2030. More specifically, the average age of our Medicare patients is approximately 77, and the population group for ages 75 and older is expected to grow at approximately 4% per year through 2030. We believe the demand for the services we provide will continue to increase as the U.S. population ages. We believe these factors align with our strengths in, and focus on, inpatient rehabilitation services.
We are committed to delivering high-quality, cost-effective patient care. As the nation’s largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in terms of patients treated, revenues, and number of hospitals, we believe we differentiate ourselves from our competitors based on, among other things, the quality of our clinical outcomes, our cost-effectiveness, our financial strength, and our extensive application of technology. We also believe our competitive strengths discussed in Item 1, Business, “Competitive Strengths,” of the 2024 Form 10‑K, give us the ability to adapt and succeed in a healthcare industry facing regulatory uncertainty around attempts to improve outcomes and reduce costs.
21
The healthcare industry faces the prospect of ongoing efforts to transform the healthcare system to coordinated care delivery and payment models. The nature, timing and extent of that transformation remains uncertain, as the development and implementation of new care delivery and payment systems will require significant time and resources. Our goal is to position the Company in a prudent manner to be responsive to industry shifts. We have invested in our core business and created an infrastructure that enables us to provide high-quality care on a cost-effective basis. We have been disciplined in creating a capital structure that is flexible with no significant debt maturities until 2028. We continue to have a strong, well-capitalized balance sheet, including a substantial portfolio of owned real estate, and ample availability under our revolving credit facility, which along with the cash flows generated from operations should, we believe, provide sufficient support for our ability to adapt to changes in reimbursement, sustain our business model, and grow through de novo hospitals and bed additions. See also Item 1, Business, “Strategy and Strategic Priorities” and “Competitive Strengths” of the 2024 Form 10‑K.
Key Challenges
Healthcare is a highly regulated industry facing many well-publicized regulatory and reimbursement challenges. The future of many aspects of healthcare regulation generally and Medicare reimbursement specifically remains uncertain. Successful healthcare providers are those able to adapt to changes in the regulatory and operating environments, build strategic relationships across the healthcare continuum, and consistently provide high-quality, cost-effective care. We believe we have the necessary capabilities—change agility, strategic relationships, quality of patient outcomes, cost effectiveness, and ability to capitalize on growth opportunities—to adapt to and succeed in a dynamic, highly regulated industry, and we have a proven track record of doing so. For a detailed discussion of the challenges we face, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Executive Overview—Key Challenges” of the 2024 Form 10‑K.
As we continue to execute our business plan, the following are some of the key challenges we face.
•Operating in a Highly Regulated Industry. We are required to comply with extensive and complex laws and regulations at the federal, state, and local government levels. More specifically, because Medicare comprises a significant portion of our Net operating revenues, failure to comply with the laws and regulations governing the Medicare program and related matters, including anti-kickback and anti-fraud requirements, could materially and adversely affect us. These rules and regulations have affected, or could in the future affect, our business activities by having an impact on the reimbursement we receive for services provided or the costs of compliance, mandating new documentation standards, requiring additional licensure or certification, regulating our relationships with physicians and other referral sources, regulating the use of our properties, and limiting our ability to enter new markets or add new capacity to existing hospitals. See Item 1, Business, “Regulation,” and Item 1A, Risk Factors, “Reimbursement Risks” and “Other Regulatory Risks” of the 2024 Form 10‑K for detailed discussions of the most important regulations we face and our programs intended to ensure we comply with those regulations.
•Changes in Medicare Reimbursement and Regulatory Requirements for Operating IRFs. On August 1, 2025, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) released its notice of final rulemaking for fiscal year 2026 for IRFs (the “2026 Final IRF Rule”) under the inpatient rehabilitation facility prospective payment system. The 2026 Final IRF Rule will implement a net 2.6% market basket increase (market basket update of 3.3% reduced by a productivity adjustment of 0.7%) effective for discharges between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026. The 2026 Final 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, updates to outlier payments, and updates to the case-mix group relative weights and average lengths of stay values. Based on our analysis that utilizes the acuity of our patients annualized over a twelve-month period ended June 30, 2025, our experience with outlier payments over this same time frame, and other factors, we believe the 2026 Final IRF Rule will result in a net increase to our Medicare payment rates of approximately 2.9% effective October 1, 2025.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA contains a range of healthcare-related provisions impacting coverage, financing, and provider reimbursement in state Medicaid programs. These provisions include enrollee work requirements, limitations on states’ ability to assess provider taxes, and limitations on states’ directed payments to providers. Most of these provisions take effect in 2027 or later and will likely require additional federal and state regulatory action to implement. We are currently evaluating these OBBBA provisions and will evaluate any related federal and state regulatory action as it develops. The OBBBA includes other non-healthcare specific, tax-related items. For further discussion of these items, see Note 9, Income Taxes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report and the “Results of Operations” section of this Item.
22
In August 2023, IRFs located in Alabama began participation in CMS’s review choice demonstration (“RCD”), under which Medicare reimbursement claims are assessed for compliance with applicable coverage and clinical documentation requirements. On March 1, 2024, CMS announced the expansion of RCD, effective June 17, 2024, to include IRFs located in Pennsylvania and billing to a certain Medicare Administrative Contractor (“MAC”). We do not bill to this MAC, so we are not subject to RCD in Pennsylvania at this time. CMS plans to expand RCD further to Texas and California, but the timing for doing so is not known. We operate 48 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals (representing approximately 29% of our IRF Medicare claims) in the four RCD states. CMS intends to expand the RCD program after these initial four state rollouts but has yet to provide details of that expansion.
Under RCD, participating IRFs have an initial choice between pre-claim or post-payment review of 100% of Medicare claims submitted to demonstrate compliance with applicable requirements during the first six-month review period or cycle. We elected the pre-claim review option for our IRFs in Alabama for the first cycle. Under the pre-claim review choice, services can begin prior to the submission of the review request and continue while the decision is being made. The pre-claim review request with required documentation must be submitted, reviewed, and approved before the final claim is paid. If a certain percentage of the claims reviewed are found to be valid, the IRF may then opt out of the 100% review. The opt-out validation percentages for the second cycle was 85% and the third and fourth cycles were 90% or greater. In opting out, the IRF may elect spot prepayment reviews of samples consisting of 5% of total claims or selective post-payment review of a statistically valid random sample. Our claim validation rate for the first cycle ending in February 2024 exceeded the required 80% at our IRFs in Alabama. For the second cycle, which began on May 1, 2024, we elected not to opt out, so our IRFs in Alabama remained subject to the 100% pre-claim review. None of our IRFs in Alabama achieved the 85% claim validation rate for the second cycle ending in October 2024. In the third cycle, we again submitted 100% of review requests pre-claim. None of our IRFs in Alabama achieved the 90% claim validation rate for the third cycle ending in June 2025. We believe many of the non-affirmations in the second and third cycles were based on application of improper standards or requirements that directly conflict with the Medicare coverage criteria for IRFs. In the fourth cycle, we are again submitting 100% of review requests pre-claim. We have engaged, and will continue to engage, with the MAC and CMS to ensure the review process is consistent with existing rules, regulations and statutes. Given the inconsistent review process applied by the MAC across the previous three cycles, we cannot predict the impact, if any, RCD may have on the collectability of our Medicare claims over the program’s term and ultimately on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
•Maintaining Strong Volume Growth. Various factors, including competition and increasing regulatory and administrative burdens, may impact our ability to maintain and grow our hospital volumes. In any particular market, we may encounter competition from local or national entities with longer operating histories or other competitive advantages, such as acute-care hospitals who provide post-acute services similar to ours or other post-acute providers with relationships with referring acute-care hospitals or physicians. Aggressive payment review practices by Medicare contractors, aggressive enforcement of regulatory policies by government agencies, and restrictive or burdensome rules, regulations or statutes governing admissions practices may lead us to not accept patients who would be appropriate for and would benefit from the services we provide. In addition, from time to time, we must get regulatory approval to expand our services and locations in states with certificate of need laws. This approval may be withheld or take longer than expected. In the case of new-store volume growth, the addition of hospitals to our portfolio also may be difficult and take longer than expected.
•Recruiting and Retaining High-Quality Personnel. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel, including management, for our inpatient hospitals remains a high priority for us. We attempt to maintain a comprehensive compensation and benefits package that allows us to be competitive in this challenging staffing environment while remaining consistent with our goal of providing high-quality, cost-effective care. Additionally, our operations have been affected and may in the future be affected by staffing shortages. In recent years, staffing shortages and competition have resulted in increased labor costs, including significant sign-on and shift bonuses, and increased use of contract labor. See Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2024 Form 10‑K for further discussion of competition for staffing, shortages of qualified personnel, and other factors that may increase our labor costs and constrain our ability to take new patients.
We remain confident in the prospects of our business based on the increasing demands for the services we provide to an aging population. This confidence is further supported by our strong financial foundation and the substantial investments we have made in our business. We have a proven track record of working through difficult operating environments, and we believe in our ability to overcome current and future challenges.

* FTEs included in the above table represent our employees who participate in or support the operations of our hospitals and include FTEs related to contract labor.
We actively manage the productive portion of our Salaries and benefits utilizing certain metrics, including employees per occupied bed, or “EPOB.” This metric is determined by dividing the number of full-time equivalents, including full-time equivalents from the utilization of contract labor, by the number of occupied beds during each period.
In the discussion that follows, we use “same-store” comparisons to explain the changes in certain performance metrics within our financial statements. We calculate same-store comparisons based on hospitals open throughout both the full current period and prior period presented. These comparisons include the financial results of market consolidation transactions and capacity expansions (including the addition of satellite and remote hospitals) in existing markets, as it is difficult to determine, with precision, the incremental impact of these transactions on our results of operations.
Net Operating Revenues
Our consolidated Net operating revenues increased during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 primarily due to increased volumes and favorable pricing. Discharge growth included a 2.9% increase in same-store discharges. Discharge growth from new stores during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 resulted from our joint ventures in Athens, Georgia (March 2025) and Fort Myers, Florida (May 2025), as well as our wholly owned hospitals in Johnston, Rhode Island (July 2024), Fort Mill, South Carolina (September 2024), Houston, Texas (November 2024), and Daytona Beach, Florida (July 2025). Growth in net patient revenue per discharge during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 primarily resulted from increase in reimbursement rates.
Growth in revenues, discharges, and net patient revenue per discharge during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were impacted primarily by the same factors as discussed above for the third quarter of 2025. Discharge growth included a 3.8% increase in same-store discharges. Discharge growth from new stores during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 also resulted from our joint ventures in Atlanta, Georgia (May 2024) and Louisville, Kentucky (June 2024), as well as our wholly owned hospital in Kissimmee, Florida (May 2024).
26
The increase in outpatient and other revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 included an increase of $16.3 million and $30.1 million, respectively, in Medicaid supplemental payments (offset by an increase of $8.7 million and $25.1 million, respectively, in provider tax expenses included in Other operating expenses). Medicaid supplemental payments represent amounts received under state directed and supplemental payment programs associated with Medicaid. For additional information, see Item 1, Business, “Medicaid Reimbursement,” of the 2024 Form 10‑K.
Salaries and Benefits
Salaries and benefits increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods of 2024 primarily due to salary and benefit cost increases for our employees and increased patient volumes, including an increase in the number of full-time equivalents as a result of our development activities. Salaries and benefits decreased as a percent of Net operating revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 primarily due to decreases in both contract labor and sign-on and shift bonuses. Salaries and benefits decreased as a percent of Net operating revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 primarily due to a decline in EPOB and decreases in both contract labor and sign-on and shift bonuses.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses increased in terms of dollars and as a percent of Net operating revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods of 2024 primarily due to increased provider taxes and higher costs resulting from our development activities.
Other operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 also included a $10.4 million impairment charge related to the closure of our joint venture inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. In January 2024, we received notice that our joint venture partner intended to close its acute-care hospital in which our joint venture inpatient rehabilitation hospital was located. We closed that joint venture hospital in February 2024 and incurred a one-time impairment charge of $10.4 million. The impact to Net income attributable to Encompass Health during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulting from the impairment was $1.8 million after reductions for Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $7.3 million and the Provision for income tax expense of $1.3 million.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 primarily due to higher contract services and software expenses. General and administrative expenses increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 primarily due to higher incentive compensation, benefits, and software expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased as a percent of Net operating revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods of 2024 primarily due to higher volumes.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods of 2024 due to our capital investments. See the “Executive Overview” section of this item for information related to our development activity. We expect Depreciation and amortization to increase going forward as a result of our recent and ongoing capital investments.
Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Tax Expense
Our pre-tax income from continuing operations increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods of 2024 primarily due to the increase in Net operating revenues as discussed above.
Provision for Income Tax Expense
Our Provision for income tax expense increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods of 2024 primarily due to higher Income from continuing operations before income tax expense.
The OBBBA contains a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. While tax changes in the OBBBA are not expected to have a material impact on our effective tax rate, we do anticipate that certain tax provisions in the OBBBA, namely the provision that permanently extends bonus depreciation for assets placed in service after January 19, 2025 and the provision allowing for immediate expensing of certain research and development costs, to result in current deductions that will
27
result in lower cash income tax for 2025. We currently estimate these provisions to produce an additional approximately $180 million in current deductions resulting in approximately $50 million in cash tax savings in 2025. We currently estimate our cash payments for income taxes to be approximately $110 million to $130 million, net of refunds, for 2025. These payments are expected to primarily result from federal and state income tax expenses based on estimates of taxable income for 2025 which include estimates of the tax provisions contained in the OBBBA. We continue to evaluate the tax and other provisions of the OBBBA and the potential effects on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The OBBBA includes other non-tax specific, healthcare-related items. For further discussion of these items, see the “Executive Overview” section of this Item.
In certain jurisdictions, we do not expect to generate sufficient income to use all available state net operating losses and foreign tax credits prior to their expiration. This determination is based on our evaluation of all available evidence in these jurisdictions including results of operations during the preceding three years, our forecast of future earnings, and prudent tax planning strategies. It is possible we may be required to increase or decrease our valuation allowance at some future time if our forecast of future earnings varies from actual results on a consolidated basis or in the applicable tax jurisdiction, if the timing of future tax deductions differs from our expectations, or pursuant to changes in state and foreign tax laws and rates.
See Note 9, Income Taxes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report and Note 15, Income Taxes, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10‑K.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
The increase in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods of 2024 resulted from increased profitability from certain existing joint venture hospitals. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included the impact from the impairment related to the closure of our joint venture hospital in Eau Claire, Wisconsin in February 2024, as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
The objectives of our capital structure strategy are to ensure we maintain adequate liquidity and flexibility. Pursuing and achieving those objectives allow us to support the execution of our operating and strategic plans and weather temporary disruptions in the capital markets and general business environment. Maintaining adequate liquidity is a function of our unrestricted Cash and cash equivalents and our available borrowing capacity. Maintaining flexibility in our capital structure is a function of, among other things, the amount of debt maturities in any given year, the options for debt prepayments without onerous penalties, and limiting restrictive terms and maintenance covenants in our debt agreements. Consistent with these objectives, in September 2025, we redeemed the remaining $100 million of the outstanding principal balance of our 5.75% Senior Notes due 2025 at maturity using cash on hand and capacity under our revolving credit facility.
We have been disciplined in creating a capital structure that is flexible with no significant debt maturities until 2028. We continue to have a strong, well-capitalized balance sheet, including a substantial portfolio of owned real estate, and we have significant availability under our revolving credit facility. We continue to generate strong cash flows from operations, and we have significant flexibility with how we choose to invest our cash and return capital to shareholders.
For additional information, see Note 5, Long-term Debt, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, and Note 9, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10‑K.

Current Liquidity
As of September 30, 2025, we had $48.7 million in Cash and cash equivalents. This amount excludes $45.0 million in Restricted cash and $139.8 million of restricted marketable securities ($34.1 million included in Other current assets and $105.7 million included in Other long-term assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet). Our restricted assets pertain primarily to obligations associated with our captive insurance company, as well as obligations we have under agreements with joint venture partners. See Note 4, Marketable Securities, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, and Note 4, Cash and Marketable Securities, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10‑K.
In addition to Cash and cash equivalents, as of September 30, 2025, we had approximately $873 million available to us under our revolving credit facility. Our credit agreement governs the substantial majority of our senior secured borrowing capacity and contains a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio as financial covenants. Our leverage ratio is defined in our credit agreement as the ratio of consolidated total debt (less cash on hand) to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters. In calculating the leverage ratio under our credit agreement, we are permitted to use pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, the calculation of which includes historical income statement items and pro forma adjustments, subject to certain limitations, resulting from (1) dispositions and repayments or incurrence of debt and (2) investments, acquisitions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and other operational changes to the extent such items or effects are not yet reflected in our trailing four-quarter financial statements. Our interest coverage ratio is defined in our credit agreement as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, excluding the amortization of financing fees, for the trailing four quarters. As of September 30, 2025, the maximum leverage ratio requirement per our credit agreement was 4.50x and the minimum interest coverage ratio requirement was 3.0x, and we were in compliance with these covenants. Based on Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters and the interest rate in effect under our credit agreement during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, if we had drawn on the first day and maintained the maximum amount of outstanding draws under our revolving credit facility for that entire period, we would still be in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio requirements.
We do not face near-term refinancing risk, as the amounts outstanding under our credit agreement do not mature until 2027, and our bonds all mature in 2028 and beyond. See Note 5, Long-term Debt, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, for additional information related to our debt. Also, see the “Contractual Obligations” section below for information related to our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2025.
See the “Results of Operations” section above for information related to our estimated cash tax savings in 2025 resulting from the OBBBA. For a discussion of risks and uncertainties facing us see Item 1A, Risk Factors, under Part II, Other Information, of this report and Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2024 Form 10‑K.
Sources and Uses of Cash
The following table shows the cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing, and financing activities (in millions):
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 829.6 | $ | 724.0 | |||||||

Operating activities. The increase in Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 primarily resulted from an increase in Net income which was driven by growth in Net operating revenues.
Investing activities. The increase in Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 primarily resulted from increased Purchases of property, equipment, and intangible assets.
Financing activities. The increase in Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 primarily resulted from lower Contributions from noncontrolling interests of
29
consolidated affiliates and higher Repurchases of common stock, including fees and expenses, partially offset by lower net debt payments. Contributions from noncontrolling interests of consolidated affiliates during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included approximately $90 million from Piedmont Healthcare. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Affiliates,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, for additional information on this transaction. For additional information related to our stock repurchases, see “Authorizations for Returning Capital to Stakeholders” section below. For additional information on our net debt payments, see Note 5, Long-term Debt, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, and Note 9, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10‑K.

(a) Included in long-term debt are amounts owed on our bonds payable and other notes payable. These borrowings are further explained in Note 5, Long-term Debt, accompanying the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, and Note 9, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10‑K.
(b) Interest on our fixed rate debt is presented using the stated interest rate. Interest on our variable rate debt is estimated using the rate in effect as of September 30, 2025. Interest pertaining to our bonds is included to their respective ultimate maturity dates. Interest related to finance lease obligations is excluded from this line. Amounts exclude amortization of debt discounts, amortization of loan fees, or fees for lines of credit that would be included in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(c) Amounts include interest portion of future minimum finance lease payments.
(d) We lease approximately 9% of our hospitals as well as other property and equipment under operating leases in the normal course of business. Amounts include interest portion of future minimum operating lease payments. For more information, see Note 7, Leases, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10‑K.
(e) Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on Encompass Health and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty. Our purchase obligations primarily relate to software licensing and support and medical equipment. Purchase obligations are not recognized in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Our capital expenditures include costs associated with our hospital renovation program, de novo projects, capacity expansions, technology initiatives, and building and equipment upgrades and purchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we made capital expenditures of approximately $507 million for property, equipment, and intangible assets. During 2025, we expect to spend approximately $785 million to $820 million for capital expenditures using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Approximately $215 million to $225 million of this budgeted amount is considered nondiscretionary expenditures, which we may refer to in other filings as “maintenance” expenditures. Actual amounts spent will be dependent upon the timing of development projects. At September 30, 2025, we have projects under construction which have an estimated additional cost to complete over the next two years of approximately $424 million. We expect to fund capital expenditures using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Authorizations for Returning Capital to Stakeholders
In October 2024, February 2025, and May 2025, our board of directors declared cash dividends of $0.17 per share that were paid in January 2025, April 2025, and July 2025, respectively. On July 24, 2025, our board of directors approved an increase in our quarterly dividend and declared a cash dividend of $0.19 per share, that was paid on October 15, 2025 to stockholders of record on October 1, 2025. On October 23, 2025, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.19 per share, payable on January 15, 2026 to stockholders of record on January 2, 2026. We expect quarterly dividends to be paid in January, April, July, and October. However, the actual declaration of any future cash dividends, and the setting of record and payment dates as well as the per share amounts, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after consideration of various factors, including our capital position and alternative uses of funds. Cash dividends are expected to be funded using cash flows from operations, cash on hand, and availability under our revolving credit facility.
The terms of our credit agreement allow us to declare and pay cash dividends on our common stock so long as: (1) we are not in default under our credit agreement, and (2) either (a) our senior secured leverage ratio (as defined in our credit agreement) remains less than or equal to 2x and our leverage ratio (as defined in our credit agreement) remains less than or equal to 4.50x or (b) our leverage ratio remains in compliance with the leverage ratio covenant and there is capacity under the Available Amount as defined in the credit agreement. The terms of our Notes indenture allow us to declare and pay cash dividends on our common stock so long as (1) we are not in default, (2) the consolidated coverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) exceeds 2x or we are otherwise allowed under the indenture to incur debt, and (3) we have capacity under the indenture’s restricted payments covenant to declare and pay dividends. See Note 5, Long-term Debt, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, and Note 9, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10‑K.
In 2013, we announced our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our common stock, which has been amended from time to time. Most recently, on July 24, 2024, our board approved resetting the aggregate common stock repurchase authorization to $500 million. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $408 million remained under this authorization. The repurchase authorization does not require the repurchase of a specific number of shares, has an indefinite term, and is subject to termination at any time by our board of directors. Subject to certain terms and conditions, including a maximum price per share and compliance with federal and state securities and other laws, the repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or other transactions, including trades under a plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 0.8 million shares of our common stock in the open market for $81.7 million under this repurchase authorization using cash on hand. Future repurchases under this authorization generally are expected to be funded using a combination of cash on hand and availability under our $1 billion revolving credit facility. For additional information, see Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, of this report.
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
Our indebtedness under our credit agreement and the 4.50% Senior Notes due 2028, 4.75% Senior Notes due 2030, and 4.625% Senior Notes due 2031, (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) are guaranteed by certain consolidated subsidiaries. These guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, subject to certain customary conditions for release. The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by all of our existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee borrowings under our credit agreement and other capital markets debt. The other subsidiaries of Encompass Health do not guarantee the Senior Notes (such subsidiaries are referred to as the “non-guarantor subsidiaries”).

Adjusted EBITDA
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our credit agreement is a measure of our ability to service our debt and our ability to make capital expenditures. We reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to Net cash provided by operating activities and to Net income.
We use Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis as a liquidity measure. We believe this financial measure on a consolidated basis is important in analyzing our liquidity because it is the key component of certain material covenants contained within our credit agreement, which is discussed in more detail in Note 9, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10‑K. These covenants are material terms of the credit agreement. Noncompliance with these financial covenants under our credit agreement—our interest coverage ratio and our leverage ratio—could result in our lenders requiring us to immediately repay all amounts borrowed. If we anticipated a potential covenant violation, we would seek relief from our lenders, which would have some cost to us, and such relief might be on terms less favorable to us than those in our existing credit agreement. In addition, if we cannot satisfy these financial covenants, we would be prohibited under our credit agreement from engaging in certain activities, such as incurring additional indebtedness, paying common stock dividends, making certain payments, and acquiring and disposing of assets. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA is critical to our assessment of our liquidity.
32
In general terms, the credit agreement definition of Adjusted EBITDA, therein referred to as “Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA,” allows us to add back to consolidated Net income interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization and then add back to consolidated Net income (1) all unusual or nonrecurring items reducing consolidated Net income (of which only up to $10 million in a year may be cash expenditures), (2) any losses from discontinued operations, (3) non-ordinary course fees, costs and expenses incurred with respect to any litigation or settlement, (4) share-based compensation expense, (5) costs and expenses associated with changes in the fair value of marketable securities, (6) costs and expenses associated with the issuance or prepayment of debt, and acquisitions, and (7) any restructuring charges and certain pro forma cost savings and synergies related to transactions and initiatives, which in the aggregate are not in excess of 25% of Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA. We also subtract from consolidated Net income all unusual or nonrecurring items to the extent they increase consolidated Net income.
Under the credit agreement, the Adjusted EBITDA calculation does not require us to deduct net income attributable to noncontrolling interests or gains on fair value adjustments of hedging and equity instruments, disposal of assets, and development activities. It also does not allow us to add back losses on fair value adjustments of hedging instruments or unusual or nonrecurring cash expenditures in excess of $10 million. These items and amounts, in addition to the items falling within the credit agreement’s “unusual or nonrecurring” classification, may occur in future periods, but can vary significantly from period to period and may not directly relate to, or be indicative of, our ongoing liquidity or operating performance. Accordingly, the Adjusted EBITDA calculation presented here includes adjustments for them.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for Net income or cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Revenues and expenses are measured in accordance with the policies and procedures described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2024 Form 10‑K.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
We provide services in the highly regulated healthcare industry. Furthermore, operating inpatient rehabilitation hospitals requires significant staffing and involves intensive therapy for individuals suffering from significant physical or cognitive disabilities or injuries. In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations and are party to various legal actions, proceedings, and claims, including employment and personal injury claims. These matters could potentially subject us to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines, and other penalties. Some of these matters have been material to us in the past, and others in the future may, either individually or in the aggregate, be material and adverse to our business, financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.
Additionally, the False Claims Act (the “FCA”) allows private citizens, called “relators,” to institute civil proceedings on behalf of the United States alleging violations of the FCA. These lawsuits, also known as “qui tam” actions, are common in the healthcare industry and can involve significant monetary damages, fines, attorneys’ fees and the award of bounties to the relators who successfully prosecute or bring these suits to the government. It is possible that qui tam lawsuits have been filed against us, which suits remain under seal, or that we are unaware of such filings or prevented by existing law or court order from discussing or disclosing the filing of such suits. Therefore, from time to time, we may be party to one or more undisclosed qui tam cases brought pursuant to the FCA.
Information relating to certain legal proceedings in which we are involved is included in Note 11, Contingencies and Other Commitments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report and should be read in conjunction with the related disclosure previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10‑K”).
Item 1A.Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2024 Form 10-K. However, certain information in those risk factors has been updated by the discussion in the “Executive Overview—Key Challenges” section of Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this report, which section is incorporated by reference herein.

(1)Except as noted in the following sentence, the number of shares reported in this column includes the shares purchased under the plan or program as reported in the third column of this table. In July, 593 shares were purchased pursuant to our Directors’ Deferred Stock Investment Plan. This plan is a nonqualified deferral plan allowing non-employee directors to make advance elections to defer a fixed percentage of their director fees. The plan administrator acquires the shares in the open market which are then held in a rabbi trust. The plan also provides that dividends paid on the shares held for the accounts of the directors will be reinvested in shares of our common stock which will also be held in the trust. The directors’ rights to all shares in the trust are nonforfeitable, but the shares are only released to the directors after departure from our board.
(2) On October 28, 2013, we announced our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our common stock, which has been amended from time to time. Most recently, on July 24, 2024, our board approved resetting the aggregate common stock repurchase authorization to $500 million. The repurchase authorization does not require the repurchase of a specific number of shares, has an indefinite term, and is subject to termination at any time by our board of directors. Subject to certain terms and conditions, including a maximum price per share and compliance with federal and state securities and other laws, the repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or other transactions, including trades under a plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
