| • | Consolidated net operating revenues were $564.0 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $537.0 million for the third quarter of 2012, or an increase of 5.0%. This increase was attributable to a 5.7% increase in patient discharges and a 0.3% increase in net patient revenue per discharge. Discharge growth included a 3.2% increase in same-store discharges. Same-store discharges in the third quarter of 2013 were negatively impacted by the closure of 41 skilled nursing facility beds at two of the Company's hospitals in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in net patient revenue per discharge resulted from pricing adjustments, higher patient acuity, and a higher percentage of Medicare patients. Net patient revenue per discharge was negatively impacted in the third quarter of 2013 by sequestration and a modest decline in average length of stay attributable to the timing of patient discharges around quarter end. |

| • | Income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth per diluted share for the third quarter of 2013 was $0.59 per share compared to $0.44 per share for the same period of 2012. Earnings per share for the third quarter of 2013 included solid operating results, a gain in government, class action, and related settlements, and a lower share count. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a $21.3 million gain related to an agreement with the plaintiffs in the 2004 consolidated securities action for amounts claimed by them under the 2007 comprehensive settlement of that action brought against the Company by its stockholders and bondholders, as well as the collection of judgments entered against certain former officers of the Company. The lower share count in 2013 resulted from the Company's repurchase of approximately 9.1 million shares of its common stock in the first quarter of 2013. The net after-tax impact of these two items on earnings in the third quarter of 2013 approximated $0.16 per share. Earnings per share for the third quarter of 2012 benefited by approximately $0.05 |

| • | Cash flows provided by operating activities were $369.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $302.2 million for the same period of 2012. This increase was primarily due to increased net operating revenues and continued disciplined expense management. |

| • | Adjusted EBITDA (see attached supplemental information) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $135.5 million compared to $125.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, or an increase of 8.2%. This improvement was due primarily to continued revenue growth and disciplined expense management. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013 benefited from an approximate $8 million reduction in the Company's group medical, workers' compensation, and professional and general liability reserves due to favorable trends in claims. Sequestration negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $8 million during the third quarter of 2013. |

| (4)  | Previously, the Company reported basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.23. In conjunction with the initiation of quarterly cash dividends in the third quarter of 2013, the Company is revising its calculation to present earnings per share using the two-class method, which takes into consideration the impact of participating securities. Additional information regarding this revision and a computation of basic and diluted earnings per share can be found in Note 9, Earnings per Common Share, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013, when filed. Diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per share due to antidilution. |
