EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Our Business


We operate outpatient physical therapy clinics that provide pre- and
post-operative care and treatment for a variety of orthopedic-related disorders
and sports-related injuries, neurologically-related injuries and rehabilitation
of injured workers. We also operate an industrial injury prevention services
("IIPS") business which includes onsite injury prevention and rehabilitation,
performance optimization and ergonomic assessments services.

Selected Operating and Financial Data


Our reportable segments include the physical therapy operations segment and the
IIPS segment. Our physical operations consist of physical therapy and
occupational therapy clinics that provide pre-and post-operative care and
treatment for orthopedic-related disorders, sports-related injuries, preventive
care, rehabilitation of injured workers and neurological injuries. Services
provided by the IIPS segment include onsite injury prevention and
rehabilitation, performance optimization and ergonomic assessments.

On September 30, 2022, we operated 614 clinics in 40 states.  In addition to our
ownership and operation of outpatient physical therapy clinics, we also manage
physical therapy facilities for third parties, such as physicians and hospitals,
with 40 such third-party facilities under management as of September 30, 2022.

During the 2021 year and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we
completed the acquisitions of six multi-clinic practices and two IIPS businesses
as detailed below.

Employees

Our strategy is to acquire physical therapy practices, develop outpatient
physical therapy clinics as satellites within existing partnerships, acquire
IIPS businesses, and support the growth of our existing businesses, which
requires a talented workforce. As of September 30, 2022, we employed
approximately 6,046 people nationwide, of which approximately 3,507 were
full-time employees.


It is crucial that we continue to attract and retain top talent. To attract and
retain talented employees, we strive to make our corporate office and all our
practices and businesses a diverse and healthy workplace, with opportunities for
our employees to receive continuing education, skill development, encouragement
to grow and develop their career, all supported by competitive compensation,
incentives, and benefits. Our clinical professionals are all licensed and a vast
majority have advanced degrees. Our operational leadership teams have
long-standing relationships with local and regional universities, professional
affiliations, and other applicable sources that provide our practices with a
talent pipeline.

We provide competitive compensation and benefits programs to help meet our
employees' needs in the practices and communities in which they serve. These
programs (which can vary by practice and employment classification) include
incentive compensation plans, a 401(k) plan, healthcare and insurance benefits,
health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid time off, family leave,
education assistance, mental health, and other employee assistance benefits.

We invest resources to develop the talent needed to support our business
strategy. Resources include a multitude of training and development programs
delivered internally and externally, online and instructor-led, and on-the-job
learning formats.

We expect to continue adding personnel in the future as we focus on potential
acquisition targets and organic growth opportunities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


For the three months ended September 30, 2022 ("2022 Third Quarter"), our net
income attributable to our shareholders was $9.6 million as compared to $10.0
million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 ("2021 Third Quarter").
In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the
revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest, net of taxes, is not
included in net income but charged directly to retained earnings; however, the
charge for this change is included in the earnings per basic and diluted share
calculation. Inclusive of the charge for revaluation of non-controlling
interest, net of taxes, the amount is $9.4 million, or $0.72 per diluted share,
for the 2022 Third Quarter, and $8.5 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for
the 2021 Third Quarter. The 2022 Third Quarter included a change in the fair
value of a contingent earn-out payment which had the effect of increasing net
income by $1.5 million and included a gain on revaluation of a put-right
liability which increased net income by $0.6 million, both net of tax.

For the 2022 Nine Months, our net income attributable to our shareholders was
$29.6 million for the 2022 Nine Months and $30.6 million for 2021 Nine Months.
Inclusive of the charge for revaluation of non-controlling interest, net of
taxes, the amount is $29.4 million, or $2.27 per diluted share, for the 2022
Nine Months, and $21.8 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, for the 2021 Nine
Months. The 2022 Nine Months included a change in the fair value of a contingent
earn-out payment which had the effect of increasing net income by $1.5 million,
net of tax.

For the 2022 Third Quarter, our Operating Results, a non-GAAP measure, was $7.5
million, or $0.58 per diluted share, as compared to $10.0 million, or $0.78 per
diluted share, for the 2021 Third Quarter.

For the 2022 Nine Months, our Operating Results, a non-GAAP measure, was $27.5
million, or $2.12 per diluted share, as compared to $30.6 million, or $2.37 per
diluted share, for the 2021 Nine Months.

Operating Results, equals net income attributable to USPH shareholders per the
consolidated statements of income less the change in the revaluation of the
put-right liability and the change in the fair value of a contingent earn-out
payment.  In accordance with GAAP, the revaluation of redeemable non-controlling
interest, net of tax, is included in the earnings per basic and diluted share
calculation, although it is not included in net income but charged directly to
retained earnings.

We believe providing Operating Results is useful to investors for comparing our
period-to-period results and for comparing with other similar businesses since
most do not have redeemable instruments and therefore have different equity
structures. We use Operating Results, which eliminates certain items described
above that can be subject to volatility and unusual costs, as one of the
principal measures to evaluate and monitor financial performance.

Operating Results is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and
should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute
for, net income attributable to our shareholders presented in the consolidated
financial statements.

million related to 2022 and 2021 Clinic Additions.  Adjusted for the salaries
and related costs for clinics closed or sold in 2022 and 2021 of $0.8 million in
the 2022 Nine Months and $1.4 million in 2021 Nine Months, salaries and related
costs related to Mature Clinics increased by $9.7 million in the 2022 Nine
Months compared to the 2021 Nine Months.  Salaries and related costs related to
management contracts decreased by $1.3 million for the 2022 Nine Months. As
previously mentioned, the Company is experiencing pressure on labor rates and
other costs due to the inflationary economic environment.

Salaries and related costs for the IIPS business was $34.8 million in the 2022
Nine Months, or 59.3% of IIPS revenue, as compared to $18.8 million in the 2021
Nine Months, or 61.8% of IIPS revenue.

Operating Cost-Rent, Supplies, Contract Labor and Other


Rent, supplies, contract labor and other costs, including physical therapy
operations and the IIPS business, was 21.0% of net revenue in the 2022 Nine
Months versus 18.6% in the 2021 Nine Months. Rent, supplies, contract labor and
other costs for the physical therapy operations was $75.0 million in the 2022
Nine Months, or 21.6% of physical therapy operations revenue, as compared to
$63.5 million in the 2021 Nine Months, or 19.4% of physical therapy operations
revenue. Included in rent, supplies, contract labor and other costs related to
physical therapy operations for the 2022 Nine Months was $7.5 million related to
2022 and 2021 Clinic Additions.  Adjusted for the rent, supplies, contract labor
and other costs for clinics related to the clinics closed or sold in 2022 and
2021 of $0.4 million in the 2022 Nine Months and $0.8 million in the 2021 Nine
Months, rent, supplies, contract labor and other costs for Mature Clinics
increased by $6.4 million in the 2022 Nine Months compared to the 2021 Nine
Months.  Rent, supplies, contract labor and other costs, related to management
contracts decreased $0.2 million in the 2022 Nine Months.

Rent, supplies, contract labor and other costs for the IIPS business was $11.1
million in the 2022 Nine Months, or 18.9% of IIPS revenue, as compared to $3.7
million in the 2021 Nine Months, or 12.2% of net IIPS revenue.

Operating Cost-Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses as a percentage of net revenue was 1.0% in the
2022 Nine Months and 1.1% for the comparable period in 2021.


Our provision for credit losses for patient accounts receivable as a percentage
of total patient accounts receivable was 5.62% on September 30, 2022, as
compared to 5.64% at December 31, 2021. Our days' sales outstanding were 32 days
at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Gross Profit


Gross profit for the 2022 Nine Months was $84.2 million, a decrease of $5.8
million, or 6.5%, as compared to $90.0 million for the 2021 Nine Months. The
gross profit percentage was 20.4% of total revenue for the 2022 Nine Months as
compared to 24.6% for the 2021 Nine Months. The gross profit percentage for our
physical therapy operations was 20.2% for the 2022 Nine Months as compared to

contracts was 21.2% for the 2022 Nine Months as compared to 14.7% for the 2021
Nine Months.  The gross profit percentage for the IIPS business was 21.6% for
the 2022 Nine Months as compared to 26.0% for the 2021 Nine Months. The IIPS
margin in 2022 has been impacted by the lower margin profile of our November
IIPS Acquisition. The table below details the gross profit (in thousands):

Corporate Office Cost

Corporate office costs were $34.2 million for the 2022 Nine Months compared to
$35.8 million for the 2021 Nine Months. Corporate office costs were 8.3% of
total revenue for the 2022 Nine Months as compared to 9.8% for the 2021 Nine
Months. The decrease was primarily due to lower estimated bonus expense in the
2022 Nine Months than the 2021 Nine Months.

Operating Income

Operating income for the 2022 Nine Months was $50.0 million and $54.2 million
for 2021 Nine Months. Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was
12.1% for the 2022 Nine Months as compared to 14.8% for the 2021 Nine Months.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate


Through a subsidiary, we have a 49% joint venture interest in a company which
provides physical therapy services for patients at hospitals. Since we are
deemed to not have a controlling interest in the joint venture, our investment
is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment balance
of this joint venture as of September 30, 2022, is $12.0 million. For the 2022
Nine Months, we recognized income of $1.0 million on this 49% joint venture.

Change in fair value of contingent earn-out consideration

During the 2022 Nine Months, the Company revalued contingent earn-out
consideration related to an acquisition, resulting in the elimination of a
previously booked liability of $2.0 million.

Change in Revaluation of Put-Right Liability


For the 2022 Nine Months, we recorded a gain on the revaluation of the put-right
liability of $0.8 million.  As part of the November 2021 IIPS Acquisition, we
agreed to the potential future purchase of a separate company under the same
ownership that provides physical therapy and rehabilitation services to
hospitals and other ancillary providers in a distinct market area. The owners
have the right to put this transaction to us in approximately five years, with
such right having a $2.8 million value on September 30, 2022, as reflected on
our consolidated balance sheet in Other long-term liabilities. The value of this
right will continue to be adjusted in future periods, as appropriate.

Interest expense - debt and other, net


For the 2022 Nine Months, the interest expense on debt and other, primarily from
our $150 million term loan entered into in June 2022, details of which are
disclosed withing LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, amounted to $3.5 million.
See discussion of Other Comprehensive Income below. Interest expense, primarily
from the Company's revolving line of credit was $0.8 million for the 2021 Nine
Months.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income tax was $11.0 million for the 2022 Nine Months and
$11.3 million for the 2021 Nine Months. The provision for income tax as a
percentage of income before taxes less net income attributable to
non-controlling interest (effective tax rate) was 27.0% for both the 2022 Nine
Months and the 2021 Nine Months. See table below ($ in thousands):

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest


Net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest (temporary
equity) was $7.2 million for the 2022 Nine Months and $8.7 million for the 2021
Nine Months.  Net income attributable to non-controlling interest (permanent
equity) was $3.3 million for the 2022 Nine Months and $4.2 million for the 2021
Nine Months.

Other Comprehensive Income

The impact of the interest rate swap (described within LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES below) on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive
Income was an unrealized gain of $4.4 million, net of tax, for the 2022 Nine
Months.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


We believe that our business has sufficient cash to allow us to meet our
short-term cash requirements. On September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we
had $37.9 million and $28.6 million, respectively, in cash.  We believe that our
cash and cash equivalents and availability under our Credit Facilities are
sufficient to fund the working capital needs of our operating subsidiaries
through at least September 30, 2023.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $9.4 million from December 31, 2021 to
September 30, 2022.  During the 2022 Nine Months, $41.2 million was provided by
operations and $36.0 million, net of payments, from proceeds on our Credit
Agreement (described below). The major uses of cash for investing and financing
activities included: distributions to non-controlling interests inclusive of
those classified as redeemable non-controlling interest ($11.8 million),
dividends paid to our shareholders ($16.0 million), purchase of business and
non-controlling interest ($32.9 million), and purchase of fixed assets ($7.3
million).

On June 17, 2022, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") among Bank of America, N.A., as
administrative agent ("Administrative Agent") and others.


The Credit Agreement, which matures on June 17, 2027, provides for loans in an
aggregate principal amount of $325 million. Such loans will be available through
the following facilities (collectively, the "Senior Credit Facilities"):

1) Revolving Facility: $175 million, five-year, revolving credit facility

("Revolving Facility"), which includes a $12 million sublimit for the issuance

of standby letters of credit and a $15 million sublimit for swingline loans

    (each, a "Swingline Loan").



                                       41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Index

2) Term Facility: $150 million term loan facility (the "Term Facility"). The Term

Facility amortizes in quarterly installments of: (a) 0.625% in each of the

first two years, (b) 1.250% in the third and fourth year, and (c) 1.875% in

the fifth year of the Credit Agreement. The remaining outstanding principal

balance of all term loans is due on the maturity date.




The proceeds of the Revolving Facility shall be used by us for working capital
and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries,
including to fund future acquisitions and invest in growth opportunities. The
proceeds of the Term Facility were used by us to refinance the indebtedness
outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, to pay fees
and expenses incurred in connection with the loan facilities transactions, for
working capital and other general corporate purposes of our Company and its
subsidiaries.

We will be permitted to increase the Revolving Facility and/or add one or more
tranches of term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (i) $100
million plus (ii) an unlimited additional amount, provided that (in the case of
clause (ii)), after giving effect to such increases, the pro forma Consolidated
Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) would not exceed 2.0:1.0,
and the aggregate amount of all incremental increases under the Revolving
Facility does not exceed $50,000,000.

The interest rates per annum applicable to the Senior Credit Facilities (other
than in respect of Swingline Loans) will be Term SOFR as defined in the
agreement plus an applicable margin or, at our option, an alternate base rate
plus an applicable margin. Currently, our interest rate including the applicable
margin is 4.665%. Interest is payable at the end of the selected interest period
but no less frequently than quarterly and on the date of maturity.

We will also pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each lender
under the Revolving Facility, a commitment fee equal to the actual daily excess
of each lender's commitment over its outstanding credit exposure under the
Revolving Facility ("unused fee"). We may prepay and/or repay the revolving
loans and the term loans, and/or terminate the revolving loan commitments, in
whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain
conditions.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting, among other things,
the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the creation of liens, mergers,
consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and
other payments in respect of equity interests, acquisitions, investments, loans
and guarantees, subject, in each case, to customary exceptions, thresholds and
baskets. The Credit Agreement includes certain financial covenants which include
the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Consolidated Leverage
Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains
customary events of default.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by its wholly owned
material domestic subsidiaries (each, a "Guarantor"), and our obligations and
any Guarantors are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in
substantially all of the existing and future personal property of our Company
and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.

In May 2022, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, effective on June
30, 2022, with Bank of America, N.A, which has a $150 million notional value,
and a maturity date of June 30, 2027. Beginning in July 2022, we make interest
payments based on the 1-month SOFR rate ("variable rate payment") and receive or
pay the  differential between the variable rate payment and the fixed 2.815%
SOFR rate on a monthly basis. Also included in the total interest payment in any
period is an applicable margin based on our consolidated leverage ratio.

We designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge and structured it to
be highly effective. Consequently, unrealized gains and losses related to the
fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded to accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

On September 30, 2022, $150.0 million was outstanding on the Term Loan and the
Revolving Facility remains available resulting in $175.0 million of
availability. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of the
covenants thereunder. Through the date of this report, we have drawn $5.0
million on the Revolving Facility.

On March 31, 2022, we acquired a 70% interest in a six-clinic physical therapy
practice. The practice's owners retained 30% of the equity interests. The
purchase price for the 70% equity interest was approximately $11.5 million, of
which $11.2 million was paid in cash and $0.3 million is in the form of a note
payable.  The note accrues interest at 3.5% per annum and the principal and
interest are payable on March 31, 2024.

interest are payable on August 31, 2024.

On September 30, 2022, we acquired an 80% interest in a two-clinic physical
therapy practice. The practice's owners retained 20% of the equity interests.
The purchase price for the 80% equity interest was approximately $4.2 million,
of which $3.9 million was paid in cash and $0.3 million in the form of a note
payable.  The note accrues interest at 5.5% per annum and the principal and
interest are payable on September 30, 2024.

On December 31, 2021, we acquired a 75% interest in a three-clinic physical
therapy practice with the practice founder retaining 25%. The purchase price for
the 75% interest was approximately $3.7 million, of which $3.5 million was paid
in cash and $0.2 million in the form of a note payable.  The note accrues
interest at 3.25% per annum and the principal and interest are payable on
December 31, 2023.

On November 30, 2021, we acquired an approximate 70% interest in a leading
provider of industrial injury prevention services. The previous owners retained
the remaining interest. The initial purchase price for the 70% equity interest,
not inclusive of the $2.0 million contingent payment in conjunction with the
acquisition if specified future operational objectives are met, was
approximately $63.2 million, of which $62.2 million was paid in cash, and $1.0
million is in the form of a note payable. The note accrues interest at 3.25% and
the principal and interest is payable on November 30, 2023. The business
generates approximately $27.0 million in annual revenue at a margin of
approximately 20%. As part of the transaction, we also agreed to the future
purchase of a separate company under the same ownership that provides physical
therapy and rehabilitation services to hospitals and other ancillary providers
in a distinct market area.  The current owners have the right to put this
transaction to us in approximately five years, with such put right having an
initial $3.5 million fair value on June 30, 2022, as reflected on our
consolidated balance sheet in Other long-term liabilities.  The value of this
right will be adjusted in future periods, as appropriate, with any change in
fair value reflected in our consolidated statement of income.

On September 30, 2021, we acquired a company that specializes in return-to-work
and ergonomic services, among other offerings. The business generates more than
$2.0 million in annual revenue. We acquired the company's assets at a purchase
price of approximately $3.3 million (which includes the obligation to pay an
amount up to $0.6 million in contingent payment consideration in conjunction
with the acquisition if specified future operational objectives are met) and
contributed those assets to our IIPS subsidiary. The initial purchase price, not
inclusive of the $0.6 million contingent payment, was approximately $2.7
million, of which $2.4 million was paid in cash, and $0.3 million is in the form
of a note payable. The note accrues interest at 3.25% per annum and the
principal and interest are payable on September 30, 2023.

On June 30, 2021, we acquired a 65% interest in an eight-clinic physical therapy
practice with the practice founders retaining 35%. The purchase price was
approximately $10.3 million, of which $9.0 million was paid in cash, $1.0
million was payable based on the achievement of certain business criteria and
$0.3 million is in the form of a note payable. The business criteria were met
and accordingly $1.0 million was paid in July 2022. The note accrues interest at
3.25% per annum and the principal and interest are payable on June 30, 2023.
Additionally, we have an obligation to pay an additional amount up to $0.8
million in contingent payment consideration in conjunction with the acquisition
if specified future operational objectives are met. We recorded acquisition-date
fair value of this contingent liability based on the likelihood of the
contingent earn-out payment. The earn-out payment will subsequently be
remeasured to fair value each reporting date.

On March 31, 2021, the Company acquired a 70% interest in a five-clinic physical
therapy practice with the practice founders retaining 30%.  When acquired, the
practice was developing a sixth clinic which has been completed. The purchase
price for the 70% interest was approximately $12.0 million, of which $11.7
million was paid in cash and $0.3 million is in the form of a note payable. 

The

note accrues interest at 3.25% per annum and the principal and interest are
payable on March 31, 2023.


On March 27, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government
approved the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act").
The CARES Act provided waivers, reimbursement, grants and other funds to assist
health care providers during the COVID-19 pandemic, including $100.0 billion in
appropriations for the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also
referred to as the Provider Relief Fund, to be used for preventing, preparing,
and responding to the coronavirus, and for reimbursing eligible health care
providers for lost revenues and health care related expenses that are
attributable to COVID-19.

                                       43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Index


The CARES Act allowed for qualified healthcare providers to receive advanced
payments under the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program ("MAAPP
Funds") during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this program, healthcare providers
could choose to receive advanced payments for future Medicare services provided.
We applied for and received approval from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services ("CMS") in April 2020. We recorded the $14.1 million in advance
payments received as a liability. During the 2021 First Quarter, we repaid the
MAAPP Funds of $14.1 million rather than applying them to future services
performed.

Historically, we have generated sufficient cash from operations to fund our
development activities and to cover operational needs. We plan to continue
developing new clinics and making additional acquisitions. We have from time to
time purchased the non-controlling interests of limited partners in our Clinic
Partnerships. We may purchase additional non-controlling interests in the
future. Generally, any acquisition or purchase of non-controlling interests is
expected to be accomplished using a combination of cash and financing. Any large
acquisition would likely require financing.

We make reasonable and appropriate efforts to collect accounts receivable,
including applicable deductible and co-payment amounts, in a consistent manner
for all payor types. Claims are submitted to payors daily, weekly or monthly in
accordance with our policy or payor's requirements. When possible, we submit our
claims electronically. The collection process is time consuming and typically
involves the submission of claims to multiple payors whose payment of claims may
be dependent upon the payment of another payor. Claims under litigation and
vehicular incidents can take a year or longer to collect. Medicare and other
payor claims relating to new clinics awaiting payor credentialing approval
initially may be delayed for a relatively short transition period. When all
reasonable internal collection efforts have been exhausted, accounts are written
off prior to sending them to outside collection firms. With managed care,
commercial health plans and self-pay payor type receivables, the write-off
generally occurs after the accounts receivable has been outstanding for at least
120 days.

We generally enter into various notes payable as a means of financing our
acquisitions. Our outstanding notes payable as of September 30, 2022 relate to
certain of the acquisitions of businesses and purchases of redeemable
non-controlling interest that occurred in 2018 through September 2022.
Typically, the notes are payable over two years plus any accrued and unpaid
interest. Interest accrues at various interest rates ranging from 3.25% to 5.5%
per annum, subject to adjustment. At September 30, 2022, the balance on these
notes payable was $5.5 million.  In addition, we assumed leases with remaining
terms of 1 month to 6 years for the operating facilities.

In conjunction with the above-mentioned acquisitions, in the event that a
limited minority partner's employment ceases at any time after a specified date
that is typically between three and five years from the acquisition date, we
have agreed to certain contractual provisions which enable such minority
partners to exercise their right to trigger our repurchase of that partner's
non-controlling interest at a predetermined multiple of earnings before interest
and taxes.

As of September 30, 2022, we have accrued $7.9 million related to credit
balances due to patients and payors. This amount is expected to be paid in the
next twelve months.


From September 2001 through December 31, 2008, our Board of Directors ("Board")
authorized us to purchase, in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions, up to 2,250,000 shares of our common stock. In March 2009, the
Board authorized the repurchase of up to 10% or approximately 1,200,000 shares
of our common stock ("March 2009 Authorization"). Our Amended Credit Agreement
permits share repurchases of up to $15,000,000, subject to compliance with
covenants. We are required to retire shares purchased under the March 2009
Authorization.

There is no expiration date for the share repurchase program. As of September
30, 2022, there are currently an additional estimated 197,316 (based on the
closing price of $76.02 on September 30, 2022) that may be purchased from time
to time in the open market or private transactions depending on price,
availability and our cash position. We did not purchase any shares of our common
stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS

The risks related to our business and operations include:

• the multiple effects of the impact of public health crises and

epidemics/pandemics, such as the novel strain of COVID-19 and its variants, for

which the total financial magnitude cannot be currently estimated;

• changes in Medicare rules and guidelines and reimbursement or failure of our

clinics to maintain their Medicare certification and/or enrollment status;

• revenue we receive from Medicare and Medicaid being subject to potential

Forward-Looking Statements

We make statements in this report that are considered to be forward-looking
statements within the meaning given such term under Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These
statements contain forward-looking information relating to the financial
condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and
business of our Company. These statements (often using words such as "believes",
"expects", "intends", "plans", "appear", "should" and similar words) involve
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those we project. Included among such statements are those relating to
opening new clinics, availability of personnel and the reimbursement
environment.  The forward-looking statements are based on our current views and
assumptions and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
such forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks, uncertainties, and
factors, which include, but are not limited to the risks listed above.

Many factors are beyond our control. Given these uncertainties, you should not
place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Please see the other
sections of this report and our other periodic reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for more information on these factors. Our
forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of
the date of this report. Except as required by law, we are under no obligation
to update any forward-looking statement, regardless of the reason the statement
may no longer be accurate.
