Adjusted free cash flow	270.0		281.4		(11.4)		(4.1)	%

Revenue growth was driven by volume and pricing growth in the inpatient rehabilitation segment and volume growth in the home health and hospice segment.

Income from continuing operations attributable to Encompass Health per diluted share was flat for the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018 as increased revenue and a lower effective income tax rate were offset by an increase in stock-based compensation.

The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities and adjusted free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2019 resulted primarily from increased working capital.

Inpatient rehabilitation segment results
					Growth
	Q2 2019		Q2 2018		Dollars		Percent
Net operating revenues:	(In Millions)
Inpatient	$	851.8	$	809.6	$	42.2	5.2	%
Outpatient and other	22.1		25.0		(2.9)		(11.6)	%
Total segment revenue	$	873.9	$	834.6	$	39.3	4.7	%

	(Actual Amounts)
Discharges	46,679		45,010		1,669		3.7	%
Same-store discharge growth							2.2	%
Net patient revenue per discharge	$	18,248	$	17,987	$	261	1.5	%

	(In Millions)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	233.9	$	223.5	$	10.4	4.7	%

Revenue - Revenue growth resulted from volume growth and an increase in net patient revenue per discharge. Discharge growth from new stores resulted from the Company's joint ventures in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina (September 2018), Winston-Salem, North Carolina (October 2018), and Lubbock, Texas (May 2019), as well as wholly owned hospitals in Shelby County, Alabama (April 2018) and Bluffton, South Carolina (June 2018). Same-store discharge growth in the second quarter of 2019 was negatively impacted by approximately 20 basis points due to the ongoing effects of Hurricane Michael on operations in the Panama City, Florida market. Growth in net patient revenue per discharge primarily resulted from an increase in reimbursement rates from all payors and improvements in discharge destination partially offset by lower prior period cost report adjustments compared to the second quarter of 2018.

Revenue reserves related to bad debt as a percent of revenue increased 20 basis points to 1.4% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to the initiation of Targeted Probe and Educate reviews at certain hospitals and a decline in collections of previously denied claims.

Adjusted EBITDA - The increase in Adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from revenue growth. The increase in salaries and benefits as a percent of revenue was within the Company's expected range. Other operating expenses decreased as a percent of revenue in the second quarter of 2019 due primarily to lower provider and other taxes, favorable trends in general and professional liability expense, and operating leverage resulting from revenue growth.

Home health and hospice segment results
					Growth
	Q2 2019		Q2 2018		Dollars		Percent
Net operating revenues:	(In Millions)
Home health	$	222.7	$	204.8	$	17.9	8.7	%
Hospice	38.4		28.3		10.1		35.7	%
Total segment revenue	$	261.1	$	233.1	$	28.0	12.0	%

Home Health Metrics
(Actual Amounts)
Admissions	37,828		34,026		3,802		11.2	%
Same-store admissions growth							8.3	%
Episodes	66,881		61,238		5,643		9.2	%
Same-store episode growth							6.2	%
Revenue per episode	$	2,959	$	2,968	$	(9)	(0.3)	%

	(In Millions)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	49.1	$	41.6	$	7.5	18.0	%

Revenue - Revenue growth resulted from volume growth. Volume growth included the impact of the acquisition of Camellia Healthcare on May 1, 2018. Revenue per episode decreased due primarily to the timing of completed episodes and the resolution of a Zone Program Integrity Contractor audit that positively impacted pricing in the second quarter of 2018.

Hospice revenue increased primarily due to acquisitions and same-store admissions growth of 13.6%.

Adjusted EBITDA - Growth in Adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from revenue growth, improvements in caregiver optimization and productivity in home health, and increased scale and efficiencies in hospice.

General and administrative expenses
	Q2 2019		% of Consolidated Revenue	Q2 2018		% of Consolidated Revenue
	(In Millions)
General and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation	$	30.8	2.7%	$	33.5	3.1%

General and administrative expenses decreased as a percent of consolidated revenue primarily due to expenses associated with the Company's rebranding and name change in 2018 and operating leverage resulting from revenue growth. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company invested $0.2 million in its rebranding and name change, all of which was included in general and administrative expenses. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company invested $2.8 million in its rebranding and name change.

Balance sheet

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company redeemed $100 million of its 5.75% Senior Notes due 2024 at 101.917%.

The Company's leverage ratio at the end of the second quarter of 2019 was 2.9x. This ratio reflected the Company's funding of the $217.5 million purchase price of Alacare Home Health and Hospice and the $48 million settlement with the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ").

Shareholder and other distributions

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased 521,262 shares of its common stock for approximately $31 million. Year-to-date common stock repurchases for 2019 totaled 740,970 shares for approximately $44 million at an average price of $59.10 per share. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $206 million remaining under its existing stock repurchase authorization.

In the second quarter of 2019, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per share on its common stock and declared a like amount that was paid in July 2019. On July 23, 2019, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per share, which is to be paid in October 2019.

In July 2019, the Company received notice of exercise from holders of Home Health Holdings for the vested portion of their rollover shares and stock appreciation rights, which will result in cash distributions of approximately $218 million expected to be paid in the third quarter of 2019.

"The strength of our financial position was underscored in the second quarter of 2019 by our ability to address multiple funding needs with only a modest increase in financial leverage and without straining our liquidity resources," said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Encompass Health Doug Coltharp.

2019 guidance

Based on its results for the first half of 2019 and its current expectations for the remainder of 2019, the Company is updating its full-year guidance for 2019.

	Full-Year 2019 Guidance
	Previous Guidance	Updated Guidance
	(In Millions, Except Per Share Data)
Net operating revenues	$4,500 to $4,600	$4,500 to $4,600
Adjusted EBITDA	$925 to $945	$940 to $960
Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Encompass Health	$3.71 to $3.85	$3.71 to $3.85

The above guidance ranges have been updated to include:

the Company's acquisition of Alacare Home Health and Hospice on July 1, 2019, including the resulting increase in depreciation and amortization;
the reduction in noncontrolling interests related to the redemption of the home health rollover shares; and
increased interest expense associated with funding the Alacare acquisition, DOJ settlement, purchase of the home health rollover shares, and exercise of the stock appreciation rights.

For additional considerations regarding the Company's 2019 guidance, see the supplemental information posted on the Company's website at http://investor.encompasshealth.com.

Other information

The information in this press release is summarized and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 (the "June 2019 Form 10‑Q"), when filed, as well as the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 29, 2019 (the "Q2 Earnings Form 8‑K"), to which this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1. In addition, the Company will post supplemental information today on its website at http://investor.encompasshealth.com for reference during its July 30, 2019 earnings call.

The financial data contained in the press release and supplemental information include non-GAAP financial measures, including the Company's adjusted earnings per share, leverage ratio, Adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted free cash flow. Reconciliations to their most comparable GAAP measure, except with regard to non-GAAP guidance, are included below, in the supplemental information, or in the Q2 Earnings Form 8-K. Readers are encouraged to review the "Note Regarding Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included in the Q2 Earnings Form 8-K which provides further explanation and disclosure regarding the Company's use of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Excluding net operating revenues, the Company does not provide guidance on a GAAP basis because it is unable to predict, with reasonable certainty, the future impact of items that are deemed to be outside the control of the Company or otherwise non-indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Such items include government, class action, and related settlements; professional fees—accounting, tax, and legal; mark-to-market adjustments for stock appreciation rights; gains or losses related to hedging and equity instruments; loss on early extinguishment of debt; adjustments to its income tax provision (such as valuation allowance adjustments and settlements of income tax claims); items related to corporate and facility restructurings; and certain other items the Company believes to be non-indicative of its ongoing operating performance. These items cannot be reasonably predicted and will depend on several factors, including industry and market conditions, and could be material to the Company's results computed in accordance with GAAP.

However, the following reasonably estimable GAAP measures for 2019 would be included in a reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA if the other reconciling GAAP measures could be reasonably predicted:

Interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and fees - estimate of $160 million to $170 million
Amortization of debt-related items - approximately $4 million

The Q2 Earnings Form 8-K and, when filed, the June 2019 Form 10-Q can be found on the Company's website at http://investor.encompasshealth.com and the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
