ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Subsequent to its earnings release for the second quarter of 2013, HealthSouth Corporation (“HealthSouth” or the “Company”) assembled an Investor Reference Book, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8‑K as Exhibit 99.1 (the “Investor Reference Book”). The Investor Reference Book addresses, among other things, an overview of the Company and its industry, a historical perspective of the Company, the Company’s business outlook, the Company’s financial and operational metrics and initiatives, and the Company’s value proposition. The Investor Reference Book is available at
http://investor.healthsouth.com by clicking on an available link.
The Company reiterates as of the date hereof its guidance for 2013, as previously reported in the press release furnished as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 25, 2013 and during the Company’s earnings conference call held on July 26, 2013.
The Company uses “same-store” comparisons to explain the changes in certain performance metrics and line items within its financial statements. Same-store comparisons are calculated based on hospitals open throughout both the full current periods and throughout the full prior periods presented. These comparisons include the financial results of market consolidation transactions in existing markets, as it is difficult to determine, with precision, the incremental impact of these transactions on the Company’s results of operations.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K, “Regulation FD Disclosure.” This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Note Regarding Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial data contained in the Investor Reference Book attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 includes non-GAAP financial measures, including the Company’s leverage ratio and Adjusted EBITDA. The leverage ratio referenced therein is defined as the ratio of consolidated total debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters. The Company believes its leverage ratio and Adjusted EBITDA are measures of its ability to service its debt and its ability to make capital expenditures. Additionally, the leverage ratio is a standard measurement used by investors to gauge the creditworthiness of an institution. The Company’s credit agreement also includes a maximum leverage ratio financial covenant which allows the Company to deduct up to $75 million of cash on hand from consolidated total debt. The Company reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income and to net cash provided by operating activities.
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis as a liquidity measure. The Company believes this financial measure on a consolidated basis is important in analyzing its liquidity because it is the key component of certain material covenants contained within the Company’s credit agreement, which is discussed in more detail in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” and Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10‑K”). These covenants are material terms of the credit agreement. Noncompliance with these financial covenants under the credit agreement—its interest coverage ratio and its leverage ratio—could result in the Company’s lenders requiring the Company to immediately repay all amounts borrowed. If the Company anticipated a potential covenant violation, it would seek relief from its lenders, which would have some cost to the Company, and such relief might not be on terms favorable to those in the Company’s existing credit agreement. In addition, if the Company cannot satisfy these financial covenants, it would be prohibited under the credit agreement from engaging in certain activities, such as incurring additional indebtedness, making certain payments, and acquiring and disposing of assets. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA is critical to the Company’s assessment of its liquidity.
In general terms, the credit agreement definition of Adjusted EBITDA, referred to as “Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA” there, allows the Company 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) costs and expenses related to refinancing transactions (in years prior to 2012), (3) any losses from discontinued operations and closed locations, (4) costs and expenses, including legal fees and expert witness fees, incurred with respect to litigation associated with stockholder derivative litigation, including the matters related to Ernst & Young LLP and Richard Scrushy discussed in Note 19, Contingencies and Other Commitments, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2012 Form 10-K and Note 10, Contingencies and Other Commitments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013 (the “June 2013 Form 10-Q”), and (5) share-based compensation expense. The Company also subtracts 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 include net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and includes (1) gain or loss on disposal of assets, (2) professional fees unrelated to the stockholder derivative litigation, and (3) unusual or nonrecurring cash expenditures in excess of $10 million. These items may not be indicative of the Company’s ongoing performance, so 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 (“GAAP”), 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 2012 Form 10‑K.
The Company also uses adjusted free cash flow as an analytical indicator to assess its performance. Management believes the presentation of adjusted free cash flow provides investors an efficient means by which they can evaluate the Company’s capacity to reduce debt, pursue development activities, and return capital to its common stockholders. The calculation of adjusted free cash flow and a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash flow is included in the Investor Reference Book attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. This measure is not a defined measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities. The Company’s definition of adjusted free cash flow is limited and does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary spending. 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. See the consolidated statements of cash flows included in the 2012 Form 10-K and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in the June 2013 Form 10-Q for the GAAP measures of cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities.

HealthSouth UDS Average (1) 7 • Inpatient rehabilitation hospitals evaluate all patients at admission and upon discharge to determine their functional status. − FIM is the tool for measuring functional independence. • The difference between the FIM scores at admission and upon discharge is called the “FIM Gain.” − The greater the FIM Gain, the greater the patient’s level of independence, the better the patient outcome. (1) The UDS average is the risk adjusted average of a patient mix pulled from the UDS nation (including HealthSouth) that is similar to the HealthSouth actual patient mix. Cases are placed into CMGs by admitting impairment code, functional status at admission, and sometimes age.

HealthSouth’s unadjusted CMI for 2012 was 1.33 versus 1.28 for the industry as measured by UDSMR, a data gathering and analysis organization for the rehabilitation industry; represents ~70% of the industry, including HealthSouth sites. (4) 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.

CMS Fiscal Year 2014 IRF Final Rule Rate Setting File Analysis Notes: (1) All data provided was filtered and compiled from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Fiscal Year 2014 IRF Final Rule rate setting file found at http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service- Payment/InpatientRehabFacPPS/Data-Files.html . The data presented was developed entirely by CMS and is based on its definitions which are different in form and substance from the criteria HealthSouth uses for external reporting purposes. Because CMS does not provide its detailed methodology, HealthSouth is not able to reconstruct the CMS projections or the calculation. (2) The CMS file contains data for each of the 1,134 inpatient rehabilitation facilities used to estimate the policy updates for the FY 2014 IRF-PPS Final Rule. Most of the data represents historical information from the CMS fiscal year 2012 period and does not reflect the same HealthSouth hospitals in operation today. The data presented was separated into three categories: Freestanding, Units, and HealthSouth. HealthSouth is a subset of Freestanding and the Total. 10

30 • The final rule would implement a net 1.8% market basket increase. ― 2.6% market basket increase ― (30 bps) Affordable Care Act reduction ― (50 bps) Affordable Care Act productivity reduction • Final rule includes updates to the IRF facility-level rural, low-income patient and teaching status adjustments. Also includes update to the outlier threshold. IRF-PPS Fiscal Year 2014 Final Rule: Key Provisions Pricing: • Net pricing impact to HealthSouth expected to be approx. +1.95% for FY 2014 before sequestration (1) • Because of its low cost structure, HealthSouth receives very few outlier payments despite higher acuity patients (see slide 9). Update to Payment Rates • CMS finalized revisions to the list of codes it uses to presumptively test compliance with the 60% Rule. ― The final rule eliminates 259 ICD-9-CM codes used for presumptive testing starting October 1, 2014. ― CMS indicates that the vast majority of these eliminated codes are non-specific codes that can be substituted with a more specific code. ― The remaining eliminated codes are primarily arthritis-related codes. 60 Percent Rule – Presumptive Methodology Code List Update Coding: • HealthSouth expects no material financial impact. • These 259 codes will be cross walked to applicable ICD-10-CM codes effective October 1, 2014, which could result in further refinement. • Some arthritis patients may be denied access to inpatient rehabilitative care. • Final changes to IRF patient assessment instrument (“PAI”) • FY 2016 new quality measure: influenza vaccines for IRF employees • FY 2017 two new quality measures: all-cause unplanned readmission and influenza vaccines for residents or patients New Quality Reporting Quality: • PAI changes are straightforward and will be implemented by HealthSouth hospitals. • HealthSouth will continue to comply with all quality reporting requirements. 1) Because sequestration began in Q2 2013 and does not anniversary until Q2 2014, HealthSouth expects Medicare pricing after sequestration to be approx. flat for Q4 2013 and Q1 2014.

Site Neutral Payments – A Complicated Issue (Post-Acute Payment Reform Background) 31 (1) Post-Acute Care Payment Reform Demonstration Report to Congress Supplement—Interim Report, May 2011, RTI International 2005: • The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 directed CMS to conduct a study aimed at reforming and harmonizing the disparate methods of paying for services in post-acute settings that could be substituted for one another. • The study required utilization of a uniform patient assessment instrument. • CMS contracted with Research Triangle Institute (RTI) to perform the study. 2012: • RTI released a 353 page report (1). • IRF patients had: ― Greatest self-care change (improvement) ― Greatest change in overall mobility improvement • Data are preliminary and more research is forthcoming. Next steps (1) : • Refinement of existing models • Additional models predicting discharge destinations, mortality, and length of stay • Further work in examining resource intensity, costs, and outcomes to better understand and validate preliminary findings • Further analysis of patient- specific cost of non-therapy ancillary use is needed to understand how their costs vary by patient complexity • Consideration around the desirability and feasibility of a composite cost measure that combines therapy, non-therapy ancillaries, and fixed costs • Additional analysis that attempts to link selected outcomes to payment and other incentive structures


 
Different Levels of Services Rehab Hospital Nursing Home Average Length of Stay (1) = 13.0 days Average Length of Stay (2) = 30 days Covered Days per Admission (1) = 27.2 days Discharge to Home (percent) (2) = 81.1% Discharge to Home (percent) (2) = 45.5% Requirements: Requirements: Rehab hospitals must also satisfy regulatory/policy requirements for hospitals, including Medicare hospital conditions of participation No similar requirement; Nursing homes are regulated as nursing homes only All patients must be admitted by a rehab physician. No similar requirement Rehab physicians must re-confirm each admission w/n 24 hours. No similar requirement All patients, regardless of diagnoses/condition, must demonstrate need and receive at least 3 hours of daily intensive therapy. No similar requirement All patients must see a rehabilitation physician “in person” at least 3 times weekly. No similar requirement; some SNF patients may go a week or longer without seeing a physician, and often a non- rehabilitation physician. Rehab hospitals required to provide 24 hour, 7 days per week nursing care; many nurses are RNs and rehab nurses. No similar requirement Rehab hospitals are required to use a coordinated interdisciplinary team approach led by a rehab physician, includes a rehab nurse, a case manager, and a licensed therapist from each therapy discipline who must meet weekly to evaluate/discuss each patient’s case. No similar requirement; Nursing homes are not required to provide care on a interdisciplinary basis and are not required to hold regular meetings for each patient. Rehab hospitals are required to follow stringent admission/coverage policies and must carefully document justification for each admission; further restricted in number/type of patients (60% Rule) Nursing homes have comparatively few policies governing the number or types of patients they treat.

33 CMS: Inpatient Rehabilitation vs. Skilled Nursing “… MedPAC’s analysis of recent quality measure data related to rehospitalizations suggests that quality of care within SNFs has not been improving … Since 2000, one outcome measure (the risk-adjusted rate of rehospitalization for any of five care-sensitive conditions) exhibited almost no change … … shifting IRF patients toward SNF care does not necessarily improve the quality of care provided to the beneficiaries. A March 2005 report in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation found that 81.1 percent of IRF patients were discharged to home, compared to 45.5 percent of SNF residents. Additionally, IRF patients appeared to have shorter lengths of stay, averaging approximately a 13-day stay, compared to the average 36-day stay for a SNF resident. Finally, when patients discharged from each setting were reviewed 24 weeks after discharge, IRF patients had consistently better outcomes and displayed a faster rate of recovery.” “Given these findings, we do not agree with those commenters who would assume that shifting patients from the IRF setting to a SNF setting is necessarily more beneficial to the patient or the Medicare Trust Fund.” Source: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-08-08/pdf/2011-19544.pdf

(2) On July 25, 2013, our board of directors approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock. The warrants discussed in note 3 below and the convertible perpetual preferred stock discussed in note 5 below both have anti-dilutive provisions. Please see the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 for more information on these provisions. (3) Does not include 2.0 million warrants issued in connection with a January 2004 loan repaid to Credit Suisse First Boston. In connection with this transaction, we issued warrants to the lender to purchase two million shares of our common stock. Each warrant has a term of ten years from the date of issuance (expire January 16, 2014) and an exercise price of $32.50 per share. The warrants were not assumed exercised for dilutive shares outstanding because they were antidilutive in the periods presented. (4) The agreement to settle our class action securities litigation received final court approval in January 2007. These shares of common stock and warrants were issued on September 30, 2009. The 5.0 million of common shares are now included in the outstanding shares. The warrants to purchase approx. 8.2 million shares of common stock at a strike price of $41.40 (expire January 17, 2017) were not assumed exercised for the dilutive shares outstanding because they were antidilutive in the periods presented. (5) The difference between the basic and diluted shares outstanding is primarily related to our convertible perpetual preferred stock (convertible into11.6 million common shares at the end of Q2 2013). The preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $30.50 per share, which is equal to an initial conversion rate of approximately 32.7869 shares of common stock per share of preferred stock, subject to a specified adjustment. We may at any time cause the shares of preferred stock to be automatically converted into shares of our common stock at the conversion rate then in effect if the closing price of our common stock for 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date we give the notice of forced conversion exceeds 150% of the conversion price of the preferred stock. During 2012, the Company repurchased 46,645 shares of its convertible perpetual preferred stock.

Business Outlook: Revenue Assumptions Revenue Volume • 2.5% to 3.5% annual growth (excludes acquisitions) • Includes bed expansions, de novos and unit consolidations Pricing 72% 8% 20% FY 2013 FY 2014 (3) FY 2015 Q4 12 - Q3 13 Q4 13 - Q3 14 Q4 14 - Q3 15 Market basket update (1) 2.7% 2.6% 2.9% Healthcare reform reduction 10 bps 30 bps 20 bps Productiv ity adjustment (1) 70 bps 50 bps ~ 100 bps Medicare Pricing 2013 2014 2015 2-4% 2-4% 2-4% Expected Price Increases Managed Care Medicare Managed Care Other (1) Medicare IRF-PPS Notice for FY 2013, Medicare IRF-PPS Rule for FY 2014, and management’s estimates for FY 2015. (2) 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. We currently estimate this automatic reduction, known as “sequestration,” will result in a net decrease to our net operating revenues of approx. $28 million in 2013. (3) HealthSouth believes, based on the Medicare IRF-PPS Rule for FY 2014, it should realize a net increase of approx. 1.95% in FY 2014 before sequestration. Because sequestration began in Q2 2013 and does not anniversary until Q2 2014, HealthSouth expects Medicare pricing after sequestration to be approx. flat for Q4 2013 and Q1 2014. 47 2% Sequestration (2)


 
Business Outlook: Expense Assumptions Expense Salaries & Benefits (1) Hospital Expenses • Other operating expenses and supply costs tracking with inflation • Occupancy costs declining as a percent of revenue • Bad debt expense of approx. 1.1% to 1.3% 2013 2014 2015 Merit increases (2) 0.5-0.6% 2.0-2.5% 2.0-2.5% Benefit costs in reases 8-10% (2) 5-8% 5-8% General and Administrative ~4% of revenue (excludes stock-based compensation) Salaries & Benefits Hospital Expenses (1) Salaries, Wages and Benefits: ~ 90% Salaries and Wages; ~10% Benefits. (2) In Q4 2012, the Company paid an approx. $10 million employee bonus in lieu of an October 1, 2012 merit increase for nonmanagement employees. The 0.5-0.6% represents a 2.0-2.5% increase effective October 1, 2013. Because the October 1, 2012 merit increases were foregone, the Company is absorbing all of the medical benefit cost increases in 2013. 48


 
Guidance (as of August 12, 2013) 49


 
2013 Revised Guidance – Adjusted EBITDA (1) 2013 Adjusted EBITDA $520 million to $530 million (previous guidance $506 million to $516 million) (1) Reconciliation to GAAP provided on slides 56, 91, 92, and 96. Considerations for July through December:  Revenue growth of 5.0% to 6.0% before sequestration ― Discharge growth between 3.0% and 4.0% ― Revenue per discharge growth between 2.3% and 2.6% before sequestration  Adjusted EBITDA reduction of approx. $16 million (net of noncontrolling interests) for sequestration  Q4 2013 will include a planned merit increase  Installation of new clinical information system is expected to increase operating expenses by approx. $2 million  Higher noncontrolling interests expense of $3 million due to changes at two joint ventures (Jonesboro, Memphis) Based on results for the first 6 months of 2013, HealthSouth raised its expectations for full- year 2013 results. 50


 
2013 Revised Guidance - EPS Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations Attributable to HealthSouth (1) $2.87 to $2.93 (Previous guidance $1.61 to $1.68) Considerations:  Higher depreciation and amortization related to recent capital expenditures  Assumes provision for income tax of approx. 40% in 2nd half of 2013 (cash taxes expected to be $6 to $12 million for full year 2013)  Basic share count reflects the purchase of approx. 9.1 million shares in Q1 2013 through a tender offer Based on results for the first 6 months of 2013 which includes the $1.15 per share tax benefit related to the IRS settlement (slide 52), HealthSouth raised its expectations for full-year 2013 results.

Income Tax Considerations GAAP Considerations: •As of 6/30/13, the Company’s federal NOL had a gross balance of approx. $1.1 billion. ― As a result of the April 25, 2013 agreements with the IRS, the Company increased its federal NOL (on a gross basis) by approx. $283 million in Q2 2013. • The Company has a remaining valuation allowance of approx. $37 million, primarily related to state NOLs. Cash Tax Payments: • The Company expects to pay approx. $6 million to $12 million per year of income tax. •HealthSouth is not currently subject to an annual use limitation (“AUL”) under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”). An “ownership change,” as defined by Section 382, could subject the Company to an AUL, which would approximate the value of the Company at the time of the “ownership change” multiplied by the long- term tax exempt rate. 52


 
Adjusted Free Cash Flow (1) Considerations (1) Reconciliation to GAAP provided on slide 55 (2) Definition of adjusted free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations minus capital expenditures for maintenance, net settlements on interest rate swaps, dividends paid on preferred stock, distributions to noncontrolling interests, and nonrecurring items. Common stock dividends (approx. $16 million to be paid in Q4 2013) are not included in the calculation of adjusted free cash flow.

• The Company has adequate cash to fund growth. • The Company continues to have excellent organic growth opportunities.  Located in Medicare growth markets  Nondiscretionary nature of many conditions served  Track record of consistent market share gains • De novos and targeted IRF acquisitions will allow entry to, and growth in, new markets.  Disciplined evaluation process  Proven track record of success • Longer-term consideration of acquiring complementary post-acute services predicated on:  Regulatory clarity  Favorable market conditions  Purchase price and terms and conditions Growth: Summary 73 The Company still believes investing in growth is a correct long-term strategy. In response to uncertainty coming from Washington, D.C., and the dislocation in the capital markets, the Company slowed the development of new de novos in the third and fourth quarters of 2011. Once the Budget Control Act of 2011 outcome was known (2% sequestration), the Company recharged its de novo development.

Reconciliation Notes for Slides 91-95 1. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s leverage ratio (total consolidated debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters) is, likewise, a non- GAAP financial measure. Management and some members of the investment community utilize Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure and the leverage ratio as a liquidity measure on an ongoing basis. These measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, the reader should be aware that in the future HealthSouth may incur expenses similar to the adjustments set forth. 2. Per share amounts for each period presented are based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding unless the amounts are antidilutive, in which case the per share amount is calculated using the basic share count after subtracting the quarterly dividend on the convertible perpetual preferred stock. The difference in shares between the basic and diluted shares outstanding is primarily related to our convertible perpetual preferred stock. 96
