(1) Average = Expected, Risk-adjusted
 Inpatient rehabilitation hospitals evaluate all patients at admission and upon
 discharge to determine their functional status.
  The Functional Independence Measurement (“FIM”) patient assessment
 instrument is used for these evaluations.
 The difference between the FIM scores at admission and upon discharge is called
 the “FIM Gain.”
  The greater the FIM Gain, the greater the patient’s level of independence, the
 better the patient outcome.

CMS Fiscal Year 2011 IRF Rate Setting File Analysis
Notes:
(1) All data provided was filtered and compiled from the Centers for Medicare and
 Medicaid Services (CMS) Fiscal Year 2011 IRF rate setting Final Rule file found at
 http://www.cms.hhs.gov/InpatientRehabFacPPS/07_DataFiles.asp#TopOfPage. The
 data presented was developed entirely by CMS and is based on its definitions
 which are different in form and substance from the criteria HealthSouth uses for
 external reporting purposes. Because CMS does not provide its detailed
 methodology, HealthSouth is not able to reconstruct the CMS projections or the
 calculation.
(2) The CMS file contains data for each of the 1,171 inpatient rehabilitation facilities
 used to estimate the policy updates for the FY 2011 IRF-PPS Final Rule. Most of the
 data represents historical information from the CMS fiscal year 2009 period and
 does not reflect the same HealthSouth hospitals in operation today. The data
 presented was separated into three categories: Freestanding, Units, and
 HealthSouth. HealthSouth is a subset of Freestanding and the Total.

Notes:
(1) Does not include 2.0 million warrants issued in connection with a January 2004 loan repaid to Credit Suisse First
 Boston. In connection with this transaction, we issued warrants to the lender to purchase two million shares of
 our common stock. Each warrant has a term of ten years from the date of issuance and an exercise price of
 $32.50 per share. The warrants were not assumed exercised for dilutive shares outstanding because they were
 antidilutive in the periods presented.
(2) The agreement to settle our class action securities litigation received final court approval in January 2007.
 These shares of common stock and warrants were issued on September 30, 2009. The 5.0 million of common
 shares are now included in the outstanding shares. The warrants to purchase approx. 8.2 million shares of
 common stack at a strike price of $41.40 were not assumed exercised for the dilutive shares outstanding
 because they are anti-dilutive in the periods presented.
(3) The difference between the basic and diluted shares outstanding is primarily related to our convertible
 perpetual preferred stock.  The preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into
 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $30.50 per share, which is equal to an initial conversion
 rate of approximately 32.7869 shares of common stock per share of preferred stock, subject to a specified
 adjustment. On or after July 20, 2011, we may cause the shares of preferred stock to be automatically
 converted into shares of our common stock at the conversion rate then in effect if the closing price of our
 common stock for 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day
 before the date we give the notice of forced conversion exceeds 150% of the conversion price of the
 preferred stock.

2011 Guidance - Adjusted EBITDA (as of March 15, 2011)
 

Adjusted EBITDA (1)
$440 million to $450 million
  
(1) Reconciliation to GAAP provided on slides 38 and 86-90.
Considerations:
ü 2010 bad debt expense was 0.9% of revenue; expect 2011 bad debt expense to
       be approximately 1.5% of revenue, in line with historical average
ü Medicare pricing in Q4 2011 will be reduced by a TBD productivity adjustment,
       which we estimate to be 100 basis points.
ü Outpatient revenues subject to approximately $1.4 million reduction related to
       the 25% rate reduction for reimbursement of therapy expenses for multiple
       therapy services (Medicare physician fee schedule for calendar year 2011CMS).
Reflects:
  2.9% to 5.3% growth over 2010
 
 7.2% to 8.4% CAGR over 2009
33
Exhibit 99.1
 
 

 
Income Tax Considerations
 
GAAP Considerations:
Valuation allowance reduced at YE 2010 by approximately $825 million resulting in a
 $736.6 million benefit to 2010 income tax provision.
As of 12/31/10, the Company had a remaining valuation allowance of approximately
 $113 million, primarily related to state NOLs.
Future Cash Tax Payments:
Expects to pay approximately $6-8 million per year of income tax.
Does not expect to pay significant federal income taxes for up to 10 years.
HealthSouth is not currently subject to an annual use limitation (“AUL”) under Internal
  Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”). A “change of ownership,” as defined by
  Section 382, would subject us to an AUL, which is equal to the market capitalization of
  the Company at the time of the “change of ownership” multiplied by the long-term
  tax exempt rate.
 
34
Exhibit 99.1
 
 

 
Adjusted Free Cash Flow (1) Assumptions
 
(1) Reconciliation to GAAP provided on slide 39.
 Items that will affect Adjusted Free Cash Flow in 2011:
 + Cash settlements for interest rate swaps will be $33.8 million lower in 2011.
  Interest expense will be approximately $4 million per quarter higher in 2011 than 2010,
 prior to any repayment/refinancing of the 10.75% senior notes.
 + Interest expense will be reduced with any repayment/refinancing of 10.75% senior notes
 callable in June 2011.
  Maintenance capital expenditures are estimated to be approximately $20 million higher
 in 2011 than 2010.
 2010 working capital benefited from a shift in timing of interest payments related to the
     refinancing in Q4 2010, offset by the $6.9 million unwind fee related to the termination of
     the two forward-starting interest rate swaps.
HealthSouth’s GAAP income statement will be affected by a
number of items that
will not affect cash flow from operating
activities or adjusted free cash flow:
Normalized GAAP tax rate resulting from the valuation
allowance reversal in Q4 2010.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt

Multi-Year Adjusted Free Cash Flow 12% to 17% CAGR

2011 Guidance - EPS (as of March 15, 2011)
 

Diluted Earnings per Share from
Continuing Operations Attributable
to HealthSouth (1)
$1.01 to $1.06
  
Considerations:
ü      Assumes provision for income tax of 40%;
      cash taxes expected to be $6-$8 million.
ü Guidance does not include any
        repayment/refinancing of the 10.75%
        senior notes callable in June 2011, which
        would affect the following items:
 Interest expense which is currently
 forecasted to be approximately $4
 million per quarter higher in Q1, Q2, and
 Q3 2011 vs. prior periods in 2010.
 Does not include “loss on early
 extinguishment of debt” (non-cash)
 Depreciation is estimated to be higher
 as a result of capital expenditures in
 prior periods.
HealthSouth is transitioning EPS guidance to a
GAAP measure.
(1) Income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth
(2) Current period amounts in income tax provision; see slides 86 and 90
(3) Total income tax provision for full-year 2010, including the reversal of a substantial portion of the Company's valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

Use of the Revolver to Refinance the 10.75% Notes
 Liquidity should be sufficient to address:
  Short-term disruptions to the financial system
  Short-term disruptions to our business
  Unforeseen cash requirements
 Liquidity target has both objective and subjective components
  The Company’s current target is ~$250 million.
 Liquidity target subject to change based on:
  Economic developments
  Conditions in the financial markets
  Continued balance sheet deleveraging
  Regulatory change
  Growth in our business
48
Refinancing capacity within the revolver is limited by liquidity
considerations
Exhibit 99.1
 
 

 
Deleveraging: Summary
 Deleveraging the balance sheet remains a priority.
 The 10.75% notes have an initial call date of June 2011 and represent
 our most attractive debt repayment/refinancing opportunity.
 We have at least three potential funding sources for reducing the
 10.75% notes:
 Free Cash Flow
  Benefiting in 2011 due to the expiration of the interest rate swaps
  Will also be used to fund growth opportunities
  Capital allocation based predominately on economic returns
 Revolving Credit Facility
  Capacity determined by liquidity considerations
 New Debt Issuances
  Interest rate arbitrage opportunity determined by prevailing debt

 All employees will be trained in the CPR campaign.
 Hospital-based trained facilitators will work directly with
 employees.
 A series of short videos is used to depict common scenarios of
 patient/staff situations.
 Facilitator training is highly interactive, encouraging discussions
 among staff.
 CPR is an in-house course designed to train all employees to
 realize that even minor encounters between staff and
 patients can have a memorable impact on the patient’s
 entire experience.
Ultimate goal is to improve employee-to

Clinical Information Systems in Healthcare
 Clinical information systems (CIS) are a key component of
 successful quality, safety and patient satisfaction initiatives in
 healthcare.
 Hospitals that implemented Computerized Physician Order
 Entry (CPOE) reported
better quality of care and lower
 mortality rates
according to a recent study. (1)
 2008 100 Most Wired Hospitals achieved significantly better
 quality indicators
than other hospitals via: (2)
  Mortality rate
  Patient safety index

CIS adoption is not solely responsible for these results,
 AND … adoption of CIS in healthcare is very slow!

 Salaries, Wages & Benefits reflects continued improvement from
 productivity gains.
 Hospital-related Expenses includes other operating, supplies,
 occupancy, and bad debts expenses.
 General and Administration excludes stock-based compensation.
 Employee per Occupied Bed “EPOB” is calculated by dividing the
 number of full-time equivalents, including an estimate of full-time
 equivalents from the utilization of contract labor, by the number of
 occupied beds during each period. The number of occupied beds
 is determined by multiplying the number of licensed beds by the
 Company’s occupancy percentage.

 included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Full-time equivalents
 included in the above table represent HealthSouth employees who participate in or support the operations of the Company’s
 hospitals.
(4) Employees per occupied bed, or “EPOB,” is calculated by dividing the number of full-time equivalents, including an estimate of full-
 time equivalents from the utilization of contract labor, by the number of occupied beds during each period. The number of occupied
 beds is determined by multiplying the number of licensed beds by the Company’s occupancy percentage.

Reconciliation Notes
1. Adjusted income from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP
 financial measures. The Company’s leverage ratio (total consolidated debt to
 Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters) is, likewise, a non-GAAP financial
 measure. Management and some members of the investment community utilize
 adjusted income from continuing operations as a financial measure and Adjusted
 EBITDA and the leverage ratio as liquidity measures on an ongoing basis. These
 measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as
 an alternative to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity. In evaluating these
 adjusted measures, the reader should be aware that in the future HealthSouth may
 incur expenses similar to the adjustments set forth above.
2. Per share amounts for each period presented are based on basic weighted average
 common shares outstanding for all amounts except adjusted income from continuing
 operations per diluted share, which is based on diluted weighted average shares
 outstanding. The difference in shares between the basic and diluted shares
 outstanding is primarily related to our convertible perpetual preferred stock.
3. Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA
 are two components of our historical guidance.
4. The Company’s credit agreement allows certain other items to be added to arrive at
 Adjusted EBITDA, and there may be certain other deductions required.
