Management’s Comments

Chris Reading, Chief Executive Officer, said, “While our third quarter results were impacted by higher labor and other inflation-driven costs, volumes have remained solid and I am encouraged by some early progress with respect to payer contract negotiations. On the development front, we are very excited to continue to add exceptional practices to our partner-centric portfolio of companies. Our industrial injury prevention business has almost doubled from the same period a year ago and our organic growth in that business has been considerable this year as well.”

Carey Hendrickson, Chief Financial Officer, said, “The cost mitigation efforts we began early in the third quarter are ongoing; however, we expect elevated costs to continue to impact our near-term results. With solid volumes and rates, we expect our full year results to be within our previous guidance ranges for Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA, but most likely on the low end of our ranges.”

As previously disclosed, the Company’s guidance range for Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2022 is a range of $73.5 million to $75.4 million and for Operating Results is a range of $34.4 million to $35.8 million, or $2.65 to $2.75 per share.

In addition to the above, see Risk Factors in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the additional risk factors below:

Our debt and financial obligations could adversely affect our financial condition, our ability to obtain future financing, and our ability to operate our business.

We have outstanding debt obligations that could adversely affect our financial condition and limit our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. Furthermore, from time to time, we may need additional financing to support our business and pursue our business strategy, including strategic acquisitions. Our ability to obtain additional financing, if and when required, will depend on investor demand, our operating performance, the condition of the capital markets, and other factors. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all.

Our loan agreements contain certain restrictions and requirements that among other things:

•	require us to maintain a quarterly fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum working capital ratio;

•	limit our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions, to fund growth or for general corporate purposes;

•	limit our future ability to refinance our indebtedness on terms acceptable to us or at all;

•	limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and market conditions or in funding our strategic growth plan; and

•	impose on us financial and operational restrictions.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by the other risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on March 1, 2022. If we do not generate enough cash flow to pay our debt service obligations, we may be required to refinance all or part of our existing debt, sell our assets, borrow more money or raise equity. There is no guarantee that we will be able to take any of these actions on a timely basis, on terms satisfactory to us, or at all.

If we fail to satisfy our debt service obligations or the other restrictions and requirements in our loan agreements, we could be in default. Unless cured or waived, a default would permit lenders to accelerate the maturity of the debt under the credit agreement and to foreclose upon the collateral securing the debt.

Our outstanding loans bear interest at variable rates. In response to the variable rates, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement. We are exposed to certain market risks during the ordinary course of business due to adverse changes in interest rates. The exposure to interest rate risk primarily results from our variable-rate borrowing. Fluctuations in interest rates can be volatile and the Company’s risk management activities do not eliminate these risks. In May 2022, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage these risks. While intended to reduce the effects of fluctuations in these prices and rates, these transactions may limit our potential gains or expose us to losses. If our counterparties to such transactions or the sponsors fail to honor their obligations due to financial distress, we would be exposed to potential losses or the inability to recover anticipated gains from these transactions.

Some of our acquisition agreements contain contingent consideration, the value of which may impact future financial results.

Some of our acquisition agreements include contingent earn-out consideration, the fair value of which is estimated as of the acquisition date based on the present value of the expected contingent payments as determined using weighted probabilities of possible future payments. These fair value estimates contain unobservable inputs and estimates that could materially differ from the actual future results. The fair value of the contingent earn out consideration could increase or decrease, as applicable. Changes in the fair value of contingent earn-outs will be reflected in our results of operations in the period in which they are recognized, the amount of which may be material and cause volatility in our financial results.

Our business depends upon hiring, training and retaining qualified employees.

Our workforce costs represent our largest operating expense, and our ability to meet our labor needs while controlling labor costs is subject to numerous external factors, including market pressures with respect to prevailing wage rates and unemployment levels. We compete with rehabilitation companies and other businesses for many of our clinical and non-clinical employees, and turnover in these positions can lead to increased training and retention costs, particularly in a competitive labor market. We cannot be assured that we can continue to hire, train and retain qualified employees at current wage rates since we operate in a competitive labor market, and there are currently significant inflationary and other pressures on wages. If we are unable to hire, properly train and retain qualified employees, we could experience higher employment costs and reduced revenues, which could adversely affect our earnings.

November 2, 2022

One of our acquisition agreements contains a Put Right related to a potential future purchase of a majority interest in a separate company.

One of our acquisition agreements includes a Put Right for the potential future purchase of a majority interest in a separate company at a purchase price which is derived based on a specified multiple of the separate company’s historical earnings. The exercise of the Put Right is outside of our control. In the event the Put Right is triggered, we are required to purchase the aforementioned equity interest at the calculated purchase price described above. The resulting purchase price may be greater than the fair value of such equity interests at the time, and we may or may not have the capital necessary to satisfy such contractual purchase obligation, in which case we could be in breach.

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.

OPERATING RESULTS AND ADJUSTED EBITDA

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

(unaudited)

The following tables provide detail of the diluted earnings per share computation and reconcile net income attributable to USPH shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP to Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes providing Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA to investors is useful information for comparing the Company's period-to-period results.

Operating Results, a non-GAAP measure, 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.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to USPH shareholders before interest income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gain on revaluation of put-right liability, equity-based awards compensation expense, change in the fair value of a contingent earn-out payment and related portion for non-controlling interests. Management believes reporting Adjusted EBITDA is useful information for investors in comparing the Company’s period-to-period results as well as comparing with similar businesses which report adjusted EBITDA as defined by their company.

Management uses Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA, which eliminates certain items described above that can be subject to volatility and unusual costs, as one the principal measures to evaluate and monitor financial performance period over period. Management believes that Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA is useful information for investors to use in comparing the Company's period-to-period results as well as for comparing with other similar businesses since most do not have redeemable instruments and therefore have different equity structures.

Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income attributable to USPH shareholders presented in the consolidated financial statements.
