Impact of COVID-19 and CARES Act

The coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic in the United States resulted in changes to our operating environment. Although the direct impact on our business has decreased since the peak impact in 2020, we continue to closely monitor the remaining impacts from the pandemic including its direct or indirect effects on macroeconomic factors, the labor markets in which we operate, and the physical therapy and broader healthcare landscape. Throughout the duration of the pandemic and declared public health emergency, and continuing hereafter, our priorities have been protecting the health and safety of employees and patients, maximizing the availability of services to satisfy patient needs and improving the operational and financial stability of our business. While we expect the disruption caused by COVID-19 and resulting impacts to diminish over time, we cannot predict the length of such impacts, and if such impacts continue for an extended period, it could have a continued effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, which could be material.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law providing reimbursement, grants, waivers and other funds to assist health care providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company realized benefits under the CARES Act including, but not limited to, the receipt of Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program ("MAAPP") funds and deferral of depositing the employer portion of Social Security taxes, interest-free and penalty-free. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company applied $12.3 million in MAAPP funds against the outstanding liability at that time. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the remaining obligations related to these benefits were applied and repaid.
