Insights

Healthcare Financial Analyst

Revenue, margins, and guidance all rose; operational expansion continued with three hospital openings.

Net operating revenue increased to $1,477.5 million from $1,351.0 million, a 9.4% jump, and adjusted EPS rose to $1.23 from $1.03, a 19.4% increase; adjusted EBITDA rose to $300.1 million supporting the firm’s upgraded full‑year guidance to $5,905–$5,955 million revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $1,235–$1,255 million.

Operationally, the company added capacity by opening three hospitals and 39 beds, which aligns with reported same‑store discharge growth of 2.9% and overall discharge growth of 5.0%; this suggests demand and local footprint expansion underlie the financial gains. Key risks include execution of new hospitals and sustaining margins; monitor adjusted free cash flow which declined to $174.2 million and any commentary on capital deployment or reimbursement pressure during the earnings call on Oct 30, 2025.

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 September 30, 2025 (the "September 2025 Form 10-Q"), when filed, as well as the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 29, 2025 (the "Q3 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 October 30, 2025 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 or in the Q3 Earnings Form 8-K. Readers are encouraged to review the "Note Regarding Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included in the Q3 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 not 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 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 not indicative of its ongoing operations. 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 2025 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 - approximately $125 million
• Amortization of debt-related items - approximately $10 million

The Q3 Earnings Form 8-K and, when filed, the September 2025 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.
