PART I

Forward-Looking Statements

        This annual report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "may," "could," "would," "should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "target," "estimate," "project," "intend" and similar expressions. These statements include, among others, statements regarding our expected business outlook, anticipated financial and operating results, our business strategy and means to implement our strategy, our objectives, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, the likelihood of our success in expanding our business, financing plans, budgets, working capital needs and sources of liquidity.

        Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding our services, the expansion of our services, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Forward-looking statements also involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

changes in government reimbursement for our services due to the implementation of healthcare reform legislation, deficit reduction measures, and/or new payment policies (including, for example, the expiration of the moratorium limiting the full application of the 25 Percent Rule that would reduce our Medicare payments for those patients admitted to a long term acute care hospital from a referring hospital in excess of an applicable percentage admissions threshold) may result in a reduction in net operating revenues, an increase in costs and a reduction in profitability;



•

the impact of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (the "BBA of 2013"), which establishes new payment limits for Medicare patients who do not meet specified criteria, may result in a reduction in net operating revenues and profitability of our long term acute care hospitals;



•

the failure of our specialty hospitals to maintain their Medicare certifications may cause our net operating revenues and profitability to decline;



•

the failure of our facilities operated as "hospitals within hospitals" to qualify as hospitals separate from their host hospitals may cause our net operating revenues and profitability to decline;



•

a government investigation or assertion that we have violated applicable regulations may result in sanctions or reputational harm and increased costs;



•

acquisitions or joint ventures may prove difficult or unsuccessful, use significant resources or expose us to unforeseen liabilities;



•

our plans and expectations related to the acquisition of Concentra, including expectations regarding the expected capital expenditures related to the acquisition, and our ability to realize anticipated synergies;



•

private third-party payors for our services may undertake future cost containment initiatives that could limit our future net operating revenues and profitability;



•

the failure to maintain established relationships with the physicians in the areas we serve could reduce our net operating revenues and profitability;

•

shortages in qualified nurses, therapists, physicians, or other licensed providers could increase our operating costs significantly or limit our ability to staff our facilities;



•

competition may limit our ability to grow and result in a decrease in our net operating revenues and profitability;



•

the loss of key members of our management team could significantly disrupt our operations;



•

the effect of claims asserted against us could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities; and



•

other factors discussed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" of this annual report on Form 10-K.

        Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we are under no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results or performance.

        Investors should also be aware that while we do, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against our policy to disclose to securities analysts any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, stockholders should not assume that we agree with any statement or report issued by any securities analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain any projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are not the responsibility of the Company.

Item 1.    Business.

Overview

        We began operations in 1997, and we believe that we are one of the largest operators of both specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the United States based on number of facilities. As of December 31, 2015, we operated 127 specialty hospitals in 27 states, and 1,038 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 31 states and the District of Columbia. Through our contract therapy business we provide medical rehabilitation services on a contracted basis to nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living and senior care centers, schools and work sites. On June 1, 2015, MJ Acquisition Corporation, a joint venture created by Select and Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe XII, L.P. ("WCAS") consummated the acquisition of Concentra, which provides occupational medicine, consumer health, physical therapy, and veteran's healthcare services throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2015, Concentra operated 300 medical centers in 38 states. Concentra also provides contract services at employer worksites and Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinics, or "CBOCs." As of December 31, 2015, we had operations in 46 states and the District of Columbia.

        We manage our Company through three business segments; specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation and, as of June 1, 2015, our Concentra segment. We had net operating revenues of $3,742.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Of this total, we earned approximately 63% of our net operating revenues from our specialty hospitals segment, approximately 22% from our outpatient rehabilitation segment and approximately 15% from our Concentra segment. Our specialty hospitals segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of long term acute patients and hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive medical rehabilitation care. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics and contract therapy that provide physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation services. Our Concentra segment consists of medical centers and contract services provided at employer worksites and Department of Veterans Affairs CBOCs that deliver occupational medicine, urgent care, physical therapy and wellness services. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations" for financial information for each of our segments for the past three fiscal years. The financial and statstical information related to the operation of our Concentra segment, and used for calculations in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section, which is contained elsewhere herein, began as of June 1, 2015, which is the date the Concentra acquisition was consummated.

Specialty Hospitals

        We are a leading operator of specialty hospitals in the United States. As of December 31, 2015, we operated 127 facilities throughout 27 states, including 109 long term acute care hospitals, or "LTCHs," 108 of which are currently certified by the federal Medicare program as LTCHs and one which is currently awaiting certification (each new LTCH must demonstrate for a minimum 6-month period that it has an average length of stay of greater than 25 days), and 18 inpatient rehabilitation facilities, or "IRFs," 17 of which are currently certified by the federal Medicare program as IRFs and one which was in the process of obtaining its certification. For the years ended December 31, 2013, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, approximately 59%, 57% and 55%, respectively, of the net operating revenues of our specialty hospitals segment came from Medicare reimbursement. As of December 31, 2015, we operated a total of 5,172 available licensed beds and employed approximately 22,100 people in our specialty hospitals segment, consisting primarily of registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists.

        We operate the majority of our LTCHs as a hospital within a hospital, or an "HIH." An LTCH that operates as an HIH leases space from a general acute care hospital, or "host hospital," and operates as a separately licensed hospital within the host hospital, or on the same campus as the host hospital. In contrast, a free-standing LTCH does not operate on a host hospital campus. We operated 109 LTCHs at December 31, 2015, of which 108 were owned and one was managed. Of the 108 LTCHs we owned, 80 were operated as HIHs and 28 were operated as free-standing hospitals.

        Patients are typically admitted to our specialty hospitals from general acute care hospitals. These patients have specialized needs, and serious and often complex medical conditions such as respiratory failure, neuromuscular disorders, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, non-healing wounds, cardiac disorders, renal disorders and cancer. Given their complex medical needs, these patients generally require a longer length of stay than patients in a general acute care hospital and benefit from being treated in a specialty hospital that is designed to meet their unique medical needs. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the average length of stay for patients in our specialty hospitals was 27 days in our LTCHs and 14 days in our IRFs.

        Below is a table that shows the distribution by medical condition (based on primary diagnosis) of patients in our specialty hospitals for the year ended December 31, 2015:

        We believe that our services are attractive to healthcare payors who are seeking to provide the most cost-effective care to their enrollees. Additionally, we continually seek to increase our admissions by demonstrating our quality of care and by doing so expanding and improving our relationships with the

physicians and general acute care hospitals in the markets where we operate. We maintain a strong focus on the provision of high-quality medical care within our facilities and believe that this operational focus is in part reflected by the accreditation of our specialty hospitals by The Joint Commission, the American Osteopathic Association ("AOA") and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities ("CARF"). As of December 31, 2015, all of the 127 specialty hospitals we operated were accredited by one or more of these accrediting organizations. The Joint Commission, the AOA and CARF are independent, not-for-profit organizations that establish standards related to the operation and management of healthcare facilities. Each of our accredited facilities must regularly demonstrate to a survey team conformance to the applicable standards.

        When a patient is referred to one of our specialty hospitals by a physician, case manager, discharge planner, health maintenance organization or insurance company, we perform a clinical assessment of the patient to determine if the patient meets criteria for admission. Based on the determinations reached in this clinical assessment, an admission decision is made.

        Upon admission, an interdisciplinary team reviews a new patient's condition. The interdisciplinary team is comprised of a number of clinicians and may include any or all of the following: an attending physician; a specialty nurse; a physical, occupational or speech therapist; a respiratory therapist; a dietician; a pharmacist; and a case manager. Upon completion of an initial evaluation by each member of the treatment team, an individualized treatment plan is established and implemented. The case manager coordinates all aspects of the patient's hospital stay and serves as a liaison with the insurance carrier's case management staff when appropriate. The case manager communicates progress, resource utilization, and treatment goals between the patient, the treatment team and the payor.

        Each of our specialty hospitals has a multispecialty medical staff that is comprised of physicians that have completed the privileging and credentialing process required by that specialty hospital, and have been approved by the governing board of that specialty hospital. Physicians on the medical staff of our specialty hospitals are generally not directly employed by our specialty hospitals but instead have staff privileges at one or more hospitals. At each of our specialty hospitals, attending physicians conduct rounds on their patients on a regular basis and consulting physicians provide consulting services based on the medical needs of our patients. Our specialty hospitals also have on-call arrangements with physicians to ensure that a physician is available to care for our patients at all times. We staff our specialty hospitals with the number of physicians and other medical practitioners that we believe is appropriate to address the varying needs of our patients. When determining the appropriate composition of the medical staff of a specialty hospital, we consider (1) the size of the specialty hospital, (2) services provided by the specialty hospital, (3) if applicable, the size and capabilities of the medical staff of the general acute care hospital that hosts that HIH, and (4) if applicable, the proximity of an acute care hospital to the free-standing specialty hospital. The medical staff of each of our specialty hospitals meets the applicable requirements set forth by Medicare, the hospital's applicable accrediting organizations, and the state in which that specialty hospital is located.

        Each of our specialty hospitals has an onsite management team consisting of a chief executive officer, a chief nursing officer and a director of business development. These teams manage local strategy and day-to-day operations, including oversight of clinical care and treatment. They also assume primary responsibility for developing relationships with the general acute care providers and clinicians in the local areas we serve that refer patients to our specialty hospitals. We provide our hospitals with centralized accounting, treasury, payroll, legal, operational support, human resources, compliance, management information systems, and billing and collection services. The centralization of these services improves efficiency and permits hospital staff to focus their time on patient care.

        For a description of government regulations and Medicare payments made to our specialty hospitals see "—Government Regulations" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Regulatory Changes."

Specialty Hospitals Strategy

        The key elements of our specialty hospitals strategy are to:

        Focus on Specialized Inpatient Services.    We serve highly acute patients and patients with debilitating injuries and rehabilitation needs that cannot be adequately cared for in a less medically intensive environment, such as a skilled nursing facility. Generally, patients in our specialty hospitals require longer stays and can benefit from more specialized clinical care than patients treated in general acute care hospitals. Our patients' average length of stay in our specialty hospitals was 24 days for the year ended December 31, 2015.

        Provide High-Quality Care and Service.    Our specialty hospitals serve a critical role in comprehensive healthcare delivery. Through our specialized treatment programs and staffing models, we treat patients with acute, complex and specialized medical needs who are typically referred to us by general acute care hospitals. Our specialized treatment programs focus on specific patient needs and medical conditions such as ventilator weaning programs, wound care protocols and rehabilitation programs for brain trauma and spinal cord injuries. Our responsive staffing models ensure that patients have the appropriate clinical resources over the course of their stay. We maintain quality assurance programs to support and monitor quality of care standards and to meet regulatory requirements and maintain Medicare certifications. We believe that we are recognized for providing quality care and service, as evidenced by our specialty hospitals' accreditations by The Joint Commission, the AOA and CARF. As of December 31, 2015, all of the 127 specialty hospitals we operated were accredited by either The Joint Commission or the AOA. Some of our IRFs had also received accreditation from CARF. See "—Government Regulations—Licensure—Accreditation." We also believe we develop brand loyalty in the local areas we serve by demonstrating our quality of care.

        Our treatment programs, which are continuously reassessed and updated, benefit patients because they give our clinicians access to the best practices and protocols that we have found to be most effective in treating various conditions such as respiratory failure, non-healing wounds, brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes and neuromuscular disorders. In addition, we combine or modify these programs to provide a treatment plan tailored to meet our patients' unique needs. We measure the outcomes and successes of our patients' recovery in order to provide the best possible patient care and service.

        The quality of the patient care we provide is continually monitored using several measures, including clinical outcomes data and analyses and patient satisfaction surveys. Quality measures from our hospitals are collected at our corporate offices and used to create monthly, quarterly and annual reports. In order to benchmark ourselves against other hospitals, we collect our clinical and patient satisfaction information and compare it to national standards and the results of other healthcare organizations. We report to the states in which our hospitals are located certain quality measures that are required to be reported under state laws. We also report to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or "CMS," the quality data required to be reported by specialty hospitals. See "—Government Regulations—Other Medicare Regulations—Medicare Quality Reporting."

        Reduce Operating Costs.    We continually seek to improve operating efficiency and reduce costs at our specialty hospitals by standardizing operations and centralizing key administrative functions. These initiatives include:

•

centralizing administrative functions such as accounting, finance, treasury, payroll, legal, operational support, human resources, compliance and billing and collection;



•

standardizing management information systems to aid in accounting, billing, collections and data capture and analysis; and



•

centralizing sourcing and contracting to receive discounted prices for pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and other commodities used in our operations.

        Increase Commercial Volume.    We have focused on continued expansion of our relationships with commercial insurers to increase our volume of patients with commercial insurance in our specialty hospitals. We believe that commercial payors seek to contract with our hospitals because we offer our patients high-quality, cost-effective care at more attractive rates than general acute care hospitals. We also offer commercial enrollees customized treatment programs not typically offered in general acute care hospitals.

        Develop Specialty Hospitals.    Since our inception in 1997, we have internally developed 73 specialty hospitals, including 68 LTCHs and five IRFs. There is currently a moratorium through September 30, 2017 on the establishment of new LTCHs, LTCH satellite facilities and LTCH beds in existing LTCHs or satellite facilities, see "—Government Regulations—Long Term Acute Care Hospital Medicare Reimbursement—Moratorium on New LTCHs, LTCH Satellite Facilities and LTCH beds." We may open additional LTCHs that met exceptions under the new moratorium and we continue to develop new IRFs through our joint venture relationships. In addition, we are currently pursuing international development opportunities.

        Pursue Joint Ventures with Large Health Care Systems.    By leveraging the experience of our senior management and development team, we believe that we are well positioned to expand our portfolio of joint ventured operations. When we identify joint venture opportunities, our development team conducts an extensive review of the area's referral patterns and commercial insurance rates to determine the general reimbursement trends and payor mix. Once discussions commence with a health care system, we refine the specific needs of a joint venture, which could include working capital, the construction of new space or the leasing and renovation of existing space. A joint venture typically consists of us and the health care system contributing certain post acute care businesses into a newly formed entity. We typically function as the manager and hold either a majority or minority ownership interest. We believe we improve the joint venture by bringing clinical expertise, adding clinical programs that attract commercial payors, and implementing our standardized resource management programs, which may increase the financial performance of the joint venture.

        Pursue Opportunistic Acquisitions.    In addition to our development and joint venture initiatives, we may grow our network of specialty hospitals through opportunistic acquisitions. When we acquire a hospital or a group of hospitals, a team of our professionals is responsible for formulating and executing an integration plan. We seek to improve financial performance at such facilities by adding clinical programs that attract commercial payors, centralizing administrative functions and implementing our standardized resource management programs.

Outpatient Rehabilitation

        We believe that we are the largest operator of outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the United States based on number of facilities, with 1,038 facilities throughout 31 states and the District of Columbia as of December 31, 2015. Typically, each of our clinics is located in a medical complex or retail location. We also provide medical rehabilitative services to residents and patients of nursing homes, hospitals, schools, assisted living and senior care centers and worksites. As of December 31, 2015, we provided rehabilitative services to approximately 419 contracted locations in 30 states and the District of Columbia. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment employed approximately 9,600 people as of December 31, 2015.

        In our clinics and through our contractual relationships, we provide physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation programs and services. We also provide certain specialized programs such as functional programs for work related injuries, hand therapy, post-concussion rehabilitation and athletic training services. The typical patient in one of our clinics suffers from musculoskeletal impairments that restrict his or her ability to perform normal activities of daily living. These impairments are often associated with accidents, sports injuries, work related injuries or post-operative orthopedic and other medical conditions. Our rehabilitation programs and services are designed to help these patients minimize physical and

6

Table of Contents

cognitive impairments and maximize functional ability. We also provide services designed to prevent short term disabilities from becoming chronic conditions. Our rehabilitation services are provided by our professionals including licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists.

        Outpatient rehabilitation patients are generally referred or directed to our clinics by a physician, employer or health insurer who believes that a patient, employee or member can benefit from the level of therapy we provide in an outpatient setting. We believe that our services are attractive to healthcare payors who are seeking to provide a high-quality and cost-effective care to their enrollees.

        In our outpatient rehabilitation segment, approximately 89% of our net operating revenues come from commercial payors, including healthcare insurers, managed care organizations and workers' compensation programs, contract management services and private pay sources. The balance of our reimbursement is derived from Medicare and other government sponsored programs.

        For a description of government regulations and Medicare payments made to our outpatient rehabilitation services see "—Government Regulations" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Regulatory Changes."

Outpatient Rehabilitation Strategy

        The key elements of our outpatient rehabilitation strategy are to:

        Provide High-Quality Care and Service.    We are focused on providing a high level of service to our patients throughout their entire course of treatment. To measure satisfaction with our service we have developed surveys for both patients and physicians. Our clinics utilize the feedback from these surveys to continuously refine and improve service levels. We believe that by focusing on quality care and offering a high level of customer service we develop brand loyalty in the local areas we serve. This high quality of care and service allows us to strengthen our relationships with referring physicians, employers and health insurers and drive additional patient volume.

        Increase Market Share.    We strive to establish a leading presence within the local areas we serve. To increase our presence, we seek to expand our services and programs and to open new clinics in our existing markets. This allows us to realize economies of scale, heightened brand loyalty and workforce continuity. We are focused on increasing our workers' compensation and commercial/managed care payor mix.

        Expand Rehabilitation Programs and Services.    Through our local clinical directors of operations and clinic managers within their service areas, we assess the healthcare needs of the areas we serve. Based on these assessments, we implement additional programs and services specifically targeted to meet demand in the local community. In designing these programs we benefit from the knowledge we gain through our national network of clinics. This knowledge is used to design programs that optimize treatment methods and measure changes in health status, clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

        Optimize the Profitability of our Payor Contracts.    We review payor contracts up for renewal and potential new payor contracts to optimize our profitability. Before we enter into a new contract with a commercial payor, we evaluate it with the aid of our contract management system. We assess potential profitability by evaluating past and projected patient volume, clinic capacity, and expense trends. We create a retention strategy for the top performing contracts and a renegotiation strategy for contracts that do not meet our defined criteria. We believe that our national footprint and our strong reputation enable us to negotiate favorable outpatient contracts with commercial insurers.

        Maintain Strong Employee Relations.    We believe that the relationships between our employees and the referral sources in their communities are critical to our success. Our referral sources, such as physicians and healthcare case managers, send their patients to our clinics based on three factors: the quality of our care, the service we provide and their familiarity with our therapists. We seek to retain and motivate our

7

Table of Contents

therapists by implementing a performance-based bonus program, a defined career path with the ability to be promoted from within, timely communication on company developments and internal training programs. We also focus on empowering our employees by giving them a high degree of autonomy in determining local area strategy. We seek to identify therapists who are potential business leaders. This management approach reflects the unique nature of each local area in which we operate and the importance of encouraging our employees to assume responsibility for their clinic's performance.

        Pursue Opportunistic Acquisitions.    We may grow our network of outpatient rehabilitation facilities through opportunistic acquisitions. We believe our size and centralized infrastructure allow us to take advantage of operational efficiencies and increase margins at acquired facilities.

Concentra

        We believe that we are the largest provider of occupational health services in the United States based on the number of facilities. We also believe we are the largest private operator of Veterans Administration CBOCs. As of December 31, 2015 we operated 300 medical centers, 138 onsite clinics at employer worksites and 33 CBOCs throughout 43 states. We deliver occupational medicine, consumer health, physical therapy, and veteran's healthcare services in our medical centers, onsite clinics located at the workplaces of our employer customers and our CBOCs. Our Concentra segment employed approximately 8,200 people as of December 31, 2015.

        We offer a range of occupational and consumer health services through our medical centers and onsite clinics. Occupational health services include workers' compensation injury care as well as employer services, clinical testing, wellness programs and preventative care. Consumer health consists of non-employer, patient-directed treatment of injuries and illnesses. Our consumer service offerings include urgent care, wellness programs and preventative care. Our services at the CBOCs include primary care, specialty care, subspecialty care, mental health, and pharmacy benefits.

        Occupational medicine refers to the diagnosis and treatment of work-related injuries (workers' compensation) and preventive and compliance services, including pre-employment, fitness for duty, and post-accident physical examinations and substance abuse screening. Utilization is driven by the needs of labor-intensive industries such as transportation, distribution/warehousing, manufacturing, construction, health care, police/fire and other occupations that have historically posed a higher than average risk of workplace injury or that require a workplace physical. Workers' compensation is the form of insurance that provides medical coverage to employees with work-related illnesses or injuries.

        Workers' compensation is administered on a state-by-state basis and each state is responsible for implementing and regulating its own workers' compensation program. Because workers' compensation benefits are mandated by law and subject to extensive regulation, insurers, third-party administrators and employers do not have the same flexibility to alter benefits as they have with other health benefit programs. In addition, because programs vary by state, it is difficult for insurance companies and multi-state employers to adopt uniform policies to administer, manage and control the costs of benefits across states. As a result, managing the cost of workers' compensation requires approaches that are tailored to the specific regulatory environments in which the employer operates. For the year ended December 31, 2015, approximately 52% of our Concentra segment operating revenues came from workers' compensation.

        In Concentra's occupational health services business, patient bookings and revenues are typically lower in the quarter ended December 31 compared to the other quarters. We believe that decreased patient bookings are caused by fewer work-related injuries and illnesses during the quarter due to our customer's employees being on vacation and our customer's facilities being closed for the holidays.

Concentra Strategy

        The key elements of our Concentra strategy are to:

        Provide High-Quality Care and Service.    We strive to provide a high level of service to our patients and our employer customers. We measure and monitor patient and employer satisfaction and focus on treatment programs to provide the best clinical outcomes in a consistent manner. Our programs and services have proven that aggressive treatment and management of workers injuries can more rapidly restore employees to better health which reduces workers' compensation indemnity claim costs for our employer customers.

        Focus on Occupational Medicine.    Our history as an industry leader in the provision of occupational medicine services provides the platform for Concentra to grow this service offering. Complementary service offerings within occupational medicine will help secure additional growth in this business line.

        Pursue Direct Employer Relationships.    We believe we provide occupational health services in a cost effective manner to our employer customers. By establishing direct relationships with these customers we seek to reduce overall costs of their workers' compensation claims, while improving employee health and getting their employees back to work faster.

        Increase Market Share.    We strive to establish a leading presence within the local areas we serve. To increase our presence, we seek to expand our services and programs and to open new medical centers and employer onsite locations in our existing markets. This allows us to realize economies of scale, heightened brand loyalty and workforce continuity.

        Pursue Opportunistic Acquisitions.    We may grow our network of Concentra medical centers and expand our geographic reach through opportunistic acquisitions. We believe our size and centralized infrastructure allow us to take advantage of operational efficiencies and increase margins at acquired facilities.

Other

        Other activities include our corporate services and certain other minority investments in other healthcare related businesses. These include investments in companies that provide specialized technology, services to healthcare entities and providers of complementary services.

Our Competitive Strengths

        We believe that the success of our business model is based on a number of competitive strengths, including our position as a leading operator in each of our business segments, proven financial performance and strong cash flow, significant scale, experience in completing and integrating acquisitions, ability to capitalize on consolidation opportunities and an experienced management team.

        Leading Operator in Distinct but Complementary Lines of Business.    We believe that we are a leading operator in each of our business segments, based on number of facilities in the United States. Our leadership position and reputation as a high-quality, cost-effective healthcare provider in each of our business segments allows us to attract patients and employees, aids us in our marketing efforts to payors and referral sources and helps us negotiate payor contracts. In our specialty hospitals segment, we operated 109 LTCHs in 27 states and 18 IRFs in eight states at December 31, 2015. We derived approximately 63% of net operating revenues from our specialty hospitals segment, for the year ended December 31, 2015. In our outpatient rehabilitation segment, we operated 1,038 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 31 states and the District of Columbia at December 31, 2015. We derived approximately 22% of net operating revenues from our outpatient rehabilitation segment for the year ended December 31, 2015. In our Concentra segment, we operated 300 medical centers in 38 states at December 31, 2015. We derived

approximately 15% of net operating revenues from our Concentra segment. With these leading positions in the areas we serve, we believe that we are well-positioned to benefit from the rising demand for medical services due to an aging population in the United States, which will drive growth across our business lines.

        Proven Financial Performance and Strong Cash Flow.    We have established a track record of improving the financial performance of our facilities due to our disciplined approach to revenue growth, expense management and an intense focus on free cash flow generation. This includes regular review of specific financial metrics of our business to determine trends in our revenue generation, expenses, billing and cash collection. Based on the ongoing analysis of such trends, we make adjustments to our operations to optimize our financial performance and cash flow.

        Significant Scale.    By building significant scale in each of our business segments, we have been able to leverage our operating costs by centralizing administrative functions at our corporate office.

        Experience in Successfully Completing and Integrating Acquisitions.    From our inception in 1997 through 2015, we completed eight significant acquisitions for approximately $2.15 billion, which includes $1.05 billion paid to acquire Concentra. We believe that we have improved the operating performance of these facilities over time by applying our standard operating practices and by realizing efficiencies from our centralized operations and management.

        Experience in Partnering with Large Health Care Systems.    Over the past several years we have partnered with large health care systems to provide post-acute care services. We believe that we provide operating expertise through our experience in operating specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation services to these ventures and have improved and expanded the level of post-acute care services provided in these communities, as well as the financial performance of these operations.

        Well-Positioned to Capitalize on Consolidation Opportunities.    We believe that we are well-positioned to capitalize on consolidation opportunities within each of our business segments and selectively augment our internal growth. We believe that each of our business segments is fragmented, with many of the nation's LTCHs, IRFs and outpatient rehabilitation facilities being operated by independent operators lacking national or broad regional scope. With our geographically diversified portfolio of facilities in the United States, we believe that our footprint provides us with a wide-ranging perspective on multiple potential acquisition opportunities.

        Experienced and Proven Management Team.    Prior to co-founding our company with our current Executive Chairman and Co-Founder, our Vice Chairman and Co-Founder founded and operated three other healthcare companies focused on inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services. In addition, our senior management team has extensive experience in the healthcare industry. Our President and Chief Executive Officer has more than two decades of management experience in the healthcare industry. Many of our other executives, such as our Chief Financial Officer, our General Counsel, our Chief Human Resources Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, have each served at our company for more than 15 years. In recent years, we have reorganized our operations to expand executive talent and ensure management continuity.

Sources of Net Operating Revenues

        The following table presents the approximate percentages by source of net operating revenue received for healthcare services we provided for the periods indicated:

Government Sources

        Medicare is a federal program that provides medical insurance benefits to persons age 65 and over, some disabled persons, and persons with end-stage renal disease. Medicaid is a federal-state funded program, administered by the states, which provides medical benefits to individuals who are unable to afford healthcare. As of December 31, 2015, we operated 127 specialty hospitals, 126 of which were certified as Medicare providers and one which was in the process of obtaining its certification. Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics regularly receive Medicare payments for their services. Additionally, many of our specialty hospitals participate in state Medicaid programs. Amounts received under the Medicare and Medicaid programs are generally less than the customary charges for the services provided. In recent years there have been significant changes made to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Since a significant portion of our revenues come from patients under the Medicare program, our ability to operate our business successfully in the future will depend in large measure on our ability to adapt to changes in the Medicare program. See "—Government Regulations—Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements."

Non-Government Sources

        Our non-government sources of net operating revenue include insurance companies, workers' compensation programs, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, other managed care companies and employers, as well as by patients directly. Patients are generally not responsible for any difference between customary charges for our services and amounts paid by Medicare and Medicaid programs, insurance companies, workers' compensation programs, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other managed care companies, but are responsible for services not covered by these programs or plans, as well as for deductibles and co-insurance obligations of their coverage. The amount of these deductibles and co-insurance obligations has increased in recent years. Collection of amounts due from individuals is typically more difficult than collection of amounts due from government or commercial payors.

Employees

        As of December 31, 2015, we employed approximately 41,000 people throughout the United States. Approximately 28,400 of our employees are full time and the remaining approximately 12,600 are part-time employees. Our specialty hospitals segment employees totaled approximately 22,100, outpatient rehabilitation segment employees totaled approximately 9,600 and Concentra segment employees totaled approximately 8,200. The remaining approximately 1,100 employees performed corporate management, administration and other support services primarily at our Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania headquarters.

Competition

        We compete on the basis of the quality of the patient services we provide, the results that we achieve for our patients and the prices we charge for our services. The primary competitive factors in the specialty hospitals business include quality of services, charges for services and responsiveness to the needs of patients, families, payors and physicians. Other companies operate specialty hospitals that compete with our hospitals, including large operators of similar facilities, such as Kindred Healthcare Inc. and HealthSouth Corporation and rehabilitation units and stepdown units operated by acute care hospitals in the markets we serve. The competitive position of any hospital is also affected by the ability of its management to negotiate contracts with purchasers of group healthcare services, including private employers, managed care companies, preferred provider organizations and health maintenance organizations. Such organizations attempt to obtain discounts from established hospital charges. The importance of obtaining contracts with preferred provider organizations, health maintenance organizations and other organizations which finance healthcare, and its effect on a hospital's competitive position, vary from area to area, depending on the number and strength of such organizations.

        Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics face a highly fragmented and competitive environment. The primary competitors that provide outpatient rehabilitation services include physician-owned physical therapy clinics, dedicated locally owned and managed outpatient rehabilitation clinics and hospital or university owned or affiliated ventures, as well as national and regional providers in select areas, including Athletico Physical Therapy, ATI Physical Therapy, Drayer Physical Therapy Institute, Physiotherapy Associates, U.S. Physical Therapy and Upstream Physical Therapy. Some of these competing clinics have longer operating histories and greater name recognition in these communities than our clinics, and they may have stronger relations with physicians in these communities on whom we rely for patient referrals. Because the barriers to entry are not substantial and current customers have the flexibility to move easily to new healthcare service providers, we believe that new outpatient physical therapy competitors can emerge relatively quickly.

        Our Concentra segment's occupational health services, consumer health and veteran's healthcare business face a highly fragmented and competitive environment. The primary competitors that provide occupational health services have typically been independent physicians, hospital emergency departments, and hospital-owned or hospital-affiliated medical facilities. Because the barriers to entry are not substantial and its current customers have the flexibility to move easily to new healthcare service providers, we believe that new competitors to Concentra can emerge relatively quickly. Furthermore, urgent care clinics in the local communities Concentra serves provide services similar to those Concentra offers, and, in some cases, competing facilities (1) are more established or newer than Concentra's, (2) may offer a broader array of services to patients than Concentra's and (3) may have larger or more specialized medical staffs to treat and serve patients. In the future, Concentra expects to encounter increased competition from hospital owned clinics, payor affiliated clinics, retail pharmacy-owned clinics, and healthcare companies.

Government Regulations

General

        The healthcare industry is required to comply with many complex laws and regulations at the federal, state and local government levels. These laws and regulations require that hospitals and facilities furnishing outpatient services (including outpatient rehabilitation clinics, Concentra medical centers, onsite clinics and CBOCs) comply with various requirements and standards. These laws and regulations include those relating to the adequacy of medical care, facilities and equipment, personnel, operating policies and procedures and recordkeeping as well as standards for reimbursement, fraud and abuse prevention and health information privacy and security. These laws and regulations are extremely complex, often overlap and, in many instances, the industry does not have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil or criminal penalties, including the loss of our licenses to operate and our ability to participate in the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs.

Facility Licensure

        Our healthcare facilities are subject to state and local licensing statutes and regulations ranging from the adequacy of medical care to compliance with building codes and environmental protection laws. In order to assure continued compliance with these various regulations, governmental and other authorities periodically inspect our facilities, both at scheduled intervals and in response to complaints from patients and others. While our facilities intend to comply with existing licensing standards, there can be no assurance that regulatory authorities will determine that all applicable requirements are fully met at any given time. In addition, the state and local licensing laws are subject to changes or new interpretations that could impose additional burdens on our facilities. A determination by an applicable regulatory authority that a facility is not in compliance with these requirements could lead to the imposition of corrective action, assessment of fines and penalties, or loss of licensure, Medicare enrollment or certification or accreditation. These consequences could have an adverse effect on our company.

        Some states still require us to get approval under certificate of need regulations when we create, acquire or expand our facilities or services, or alter the ownership of such facilities, whether directly or indirectly. The certificate of need regulations vary from state to state, and are subject to change and new interpretation. If we fail to show public need and obtain approval in these states for our new facilities or changes to the ownership structure of existing facilities, we may be subject to civil or even criminal penalties, lose our facility license or become ineligible for reimbursement.

Professional Licensure, Corporate Practice and Fee-Splitting Laws

        Healthcare professionals at our specialty hospitals and facilities furnishing outpatient services are required to be individually licensed or certified under applicable state law. We take steps to ensure that our employees and agents possess all necessary licenses and certifications.

        Some states prohibit the "corporate practice of medicine," which restricts business corporations from practicing medicine through the direct employment of physicians or from exercising control over medical decisions by physicians. Some states similarly prohibit the "corporate practice of therapy." The laws relating to corporate practice vary from state to state and are not fully developed in each state in which we have facilities. Typically, however, professional corporations owned and controlled by licensed professionals are exempt from corporate practice restrictions and may employ physicians or therapists to furnish professional services. Also, in some states hospitals are permitted to employ physicians.

        Some states also prohibit entities from engaging in certain financial arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians or therapists. The laws relating to fee-splitting also vary from state to state and are not fully developed. Generally, these laws restrict business arrangements that involve a physician

13

Table of Contents

or therapist sharing medical fees with a referral source, but in some states these laws have been interpreted to extend to management agreements between physicians or therapists and business entities under some circumstances.

        We believe that each of our facilities complies with any current corporate practice and fee-splitting laws of the state in which it is located. In states where we are prohibited by the corporate practice of medicine from directly employing licensed physicians, we typically enter into management agreements with professional corporations that are owned by licensed physicians, which, in turn, employ or contract with physicians who provide professional medical services in our facilities. Under those management agreements, we perform only non-medical administrative services, do not exercise control over the practice of medicine by the physicians, and structure compensation to avoid fee-splitting. In those states that apply the corporate practice of therapy prohibition, we either contract to obtain therapy services from an entity permitted to employ therapists or we manage the physical therapy practice owned by licensed therapists through which the therapy services are provided.

        Although we believe that our facilities comply with corporate practice and fee-splitting laws, if new regulations or judicial or administrative interpretations establish that our facilities do not comply with these laws, we could be subject to civil and perhaps criminal penalties. In addition, if any of our facilities is determined not to comply with corporate practice and fee-splitting laws, certain of our agreements relating to the facility may be determined to be unenforceable, including our management agreements with the professional corporations furnishing physician services or our payment arrangements with insurers or employers. Future interpretations of corporate practice and fee-splitting laws, the enactment of new legislation or the adoption of new regulations relating to these laws could cause us to have to restructure our business operations or close our facilities in a particular state. Any such penalties, determinations of unenforceability or interpretations could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Medicare Enrollment and Certification

        In order to participate in the Medicare program and receive Medicare reimbursement, each facility must comply with the applicable regulations of the United States Department of Health and Human Services relating to, among other things, the type of facility, its equipment, its personnel and its standards of medical care, as well as compliance with all applicable state and local laws and regulations. As of December 31, 2015, 126 of the 127 specialty hospitals we operated were certified as Medicare providers and one was in the process of obtaining its certification. In addition, we provide the majority of our outpatient rehabilitation services through outpatient rehabilitation clinics certified by Medicare as rehabilitation agencies or "rehab agencies." Our Concentra medical centers furnishing outpatient services are generally enrolled in Medicare as suppliers.

Accreditation

        Our specialty hospitals receive accreditation from The Joint Commission, the AOA, CARF and/or other healthcare accrediting organizations. As of December 31, 2015, all of the 127 specialty hospitals we operated were accredited by either The Joint Commission or the AOA. In addition, some of our IRFs have also applied for and received accreditation from CARF. Where required under our contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs, our facilities furnishing outpatient services that operate as CBOCs are accredited by The Joint Commission or another healthcare accrediting organization. See "—Government Regulations—Veterans Affairs."

Workers' Compensation

        Workers' compensation is a state mandated, comprehensive insurance program that requires employers to fund or insure medical expenses, lost wages and other costs resulting from work related injuries and illnesses. Workers' compensation benefits and arrangements vary from state to state, and are

14

---

Table of Contents

often highly complex. In some states, payment for services covered by workers' compensation programs are subject to cost containment features, such as requirements that all workers' compensation injuries be treated through a managed care program, or the imposition of fee schedules or payment caps for services furnished to injured employees. Some state workers' compensation laws limit the ability of an employer to select the providers furnishing care to injured employees. Several states require that physicians furnishing non-emergency services to workers' compensation patients must register with the applicable state agency and undergo special continuing education and training. Workers' compensation programs may also impose other requirements that affect the operations of our facilities furnishing outpatient services. Net operating revenues generated directly from workers' compensation programs represented approximately 17% of our net operating revenue from outpatient rehabilitation services, 1% of our net operating revenue from our specialty hospitals and 52% of our net operating revenue from our Concentra segment for the year ended December 31, 2015.

        Our facilities furnishing outpatient services are reimbursed for services furnished to injured workers by payors pursuant to the applicable state workers' compensation statutes. Most of the states in which we maintain operations reimburse providers for services payable under workers' compensation laws pursuant to a treatment-specific fee schedule with established maximum reimbursement levels. In states without such fee schedules, healthcare providers are often reimbursed based on "usual and customary" fees benchmarked by market data and negotiated by providers with payors and networks.

        Inadequate increases to the applicable fee schedule amounts for our services, and changes in state workers' compensation laws, including cost containment initiatives, could have a negative impact on the operations and financial performance of those facilities.

Veterans Affairs

        The Veterans Affairs health system is the largest integrated healthcare system in the U.S. and includes over 150 hospitals, 800 CBOCs (of which only 166 are operated by contractors) and 260 veterans medical centers. As of December 31, 2015, we had 33 CBOCs, which were established to provide services to veterans residing in catchment areas under agreements with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The awarding of such agreements is regulated by laws related to federal government procurements generally, including the Federal Acquisition Regulations. Our contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs include administrative and clinical services, performance standards, qualifications and other contractor requirements and information and security requirements. In general, our facilities furnishing outpatient services that are CBOCs provide outpatient primary care in exchange for a capitated monthly fee based on the number of eligible patients then enrolled in that CBOC.

Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements

Medicare Program in General

        The Medicare program reimburses healthcare providers for services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries, which are generally persons age 65 and older, those who are chronically disabled, and those suffering from end stage renal disease. The program is governed by the Social Security Act of 1965 and is administered primarily by the Department of Health and Human Services and CMS. Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program represented approximately 46% for the year ended December 31, 2013, 45% for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 37% for the year ended December 31, 2015.

        The Medicare program reimburses various types of providers, including LTCHs, IRFs and outpatient rehabilitation providers, using different payment methodologies. The Medicare reimbursement systems specific to LTCHs, IRFs and outpatient rehabilitation providers, as described below, are different than the system applicable to general acute care hospitals. If any of our hospitals fail to comply with requirements

15

---

Table of Contents

for payment under Medicare reimbursement systems for LTCHs or IRFs, as applicable, that hospital will be paid under the system applicable to general acute care hospitals. For general acute care hospitals, Medicare payments for inpatient care are made under the inpatient prospective payment system, or "IPPS," under which a hospital receives a fixed payment amount per discharge (adjusted for area wage differences) using Medicare severity diagnosis-related groups, or "MS-DRGs." The general acute care hospital MS-DRG payment rate is based upon the national average cost of treating a Medicare patient's condition, based on severity levels of illness, in that type of facility. Although the average length of stay varies for each MS-DRG, the average stay of all Medicare patients in a general acute care hospital is substantially less than the average length of stay in LTCHs and IRFs. Thus, the prospective payment system for general acute care hospitals creates an economic incentive for those hospitals to discharge medically complex Medicare patients to a post-acute care setting as soon as clinically possible. Effective October 1, 2005, CMS expanded its post-acute care transfer policy under which general acute care hospitals are paid on a per diem basis rather than the full MS-DRG rate if a patient is discharged early to certain post-acute care settings, including LTCHs and IRFs. When a patient is discharged from selected MS-DRGs to, among other providers, an LTCH or IRF, the general acute care hospital may be reimbursed below the full MS-DRG payment if the patient's length of stay is less than the geometric mean length of stay for the MS-DRG.

        The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, enacted on April 16, 2015, reforms Medicare payment policy for services paid under the Medicare physician fee schedule, including our outpatient rehabilitation services. The law repeals the sustainable growth rate (the "SGR") formula effective January 1, 2015, and establishes a new payment framework consisting of specified updates to the Medicare physician fee schedule, a new Merit-Based Incentive Payment System ("MIPS"), and incentives for participation in alternative payment models ("APMs"). To finance these provisions, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 reduces market basket updates for post-acute care providers, including LTCHs and IRFs, among other Medicare payment cuts. As noted below, the law sets the annual prospective payment system update for fiscal year 2018 at 1% for LTCHs and IRFs, as well as skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, and hospices. The law also extends the exceptions process for outpatient therapy caps through December 31, 2017.

Long Term Acute Care Hospital Medicare Reimbursement

        The Medicare payment system for LTCHs is based on a prospective payment system specifically applicable to LTCHs. The long term care hospital prospective payment system, or "LTCH-PPS," was established by CMS final regulations published on August 30, 2002, and applies to LTCHs for cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2002. The policies and payment rates under LTCH-PPS are subject to annual updates and revisions. Under LTCH-PPS, each patient discharged from an LTCH is assigned to a distinct "MS-LTC-DRG," which is a Medicare severity diagnosis-related group for LTCHs, and an LTCH is generally paid a pre-determined fixed amount applicable to the assigned MS-LTC-DRG (adjusted for area wage differences), subject to exceptions for short stay and high cost outlier patients (described below). CMS assigns relative weights to each MS-LTC-DRG to reflect their relative use of medical care resources. The payment amount for each MS-LTC-DRG is intended to reflect the average cost of treating a Medicare patient assigned to that MS-LTC-DRG in an LTCH.

Standard Federal Rate

        Payment under the LTCH-PPS is dependent on determining the patient classification, that is, the assignment of the case to a particular MS-LTC-DRG, the weight of the MS-LTC-DRG and the standard federal payment rate. There is a single standard federal rate that encompasses both the inpatient operating costs, which includes a labor and non-labor component, and capital-related costs that CMS updates on an annual basis. LTCH-PPS also includes special payment policies that adjust the payments for some patients

16

Table of Contents

based on the patient's length of stay, the facility's costs, whether the patient was discharged and readmitted and other factors.

Patient Criteria

        The BBA of 2013, enacted December 26, 2013, establishes new payment limits for Medicare patients discharged from an LTCH who do not meet specified criteria. Specifically, for Medicare patients discharged in cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015, LTCHs will be reimbursed under LTCH-PPS only if, immediately preceding the patient's LTCH admission, the patient was discharged from a general acute care hospital paid under IPPS and the patient's stay included at least three days in an intensive care unit (ICU) or coronary care unit (CCU) or the patient is assigned to an MS-LTC-DRG for cases receiving at least 96 hours of ventilator services in the LTCH. In addition, to be paid under LTCH-PPS the patient's discharge from the LTCH may not include a principal diagnosis relating to psychiatric or rehabilitation services. For any Medicare patient who does not meet the new criteria, the LTCH will be paid a lower "site-neutral" payment rate, which will be the lower of (1) the IPPS comparable per-diem payment rate capped at the MS-DRG including any outlier payments, or (2) 100 percent of the estimated costs for services.

        The BBA of 2013 provides for a transition to the site-neutral payment rate for those patients not paid under LTCH-PPS. During the transition period (cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2017), a blended rate will be paid for Medicare patients not meeting the new criteria. The blended rate will comprise half the site-neutral payment rate and half the LTCH-PPS payment rate. For discharges in cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2017, only the site-neutral payment rate will apply for Medicare patients not meeting the new criteria.

        In addition, for cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019, qualifying discharges from an LTCH will continue to be paid at the LTCH-PPS payment rate, unless the number of discharges for which payment is made under the site-neutral payment rate is greater than 50% of the total number of discharges from the LTCH. If the number of discharges for which payment is made under the site-neutral payment rate is greater than 50%, then beginning in the next cost reporting period all discharges from the LTCH will be reimbursed at the site-neutral payment rate. The BBA of 2013 requires CMS to establish a process for an LTCH subject to the site-neutral payment rate to re-qualify for payment under LTCH-PPS.

        Payment adjustments, including the interrupted stay policy and the 25 Percent Rule (discussed below), apply to LTCH discharges regardless of whether the case is paid at the LTCH-PPS payment rate or the site-neutral payment rate. However, short stay outlier payment adjustments do not apply to cases paid at the site-neutral payment rate. Beginning with fiscal year 2016, CMS will calculate the annual recalibration of the MS-LTC-DRG relative payment weighting factors using only data from LTCH discharges that meet the criteria for exclusion from the site-neutral payment rate. In addition, beginning in fiscal year 2016, CMS will apply the IPPS fixed-loss amount to site-neutral cases, rather than the LTCH PPS fixed-loss amount. For fiscal year 2016, the IPPS fixed-loss amount is set at $22,544 and the LTCH-PPS fixed-loss amount is estimated to be $16,423. CMS will calculate the LTCH-PPS fixed-loss amount using only data from cases paid at the LTCH-PPS payment rate, excluding cases paid at the site-neutral rate.

        Each of our LTCHs has their own unique annual cost reporting period. As a result, the new payment limits will become effective for each of our LTCHs at different points in time over a twelve month period beginning on October 1, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, 16 of our LTCHs have cost reporting periods that began during the fourth quarter of 2015 and 37, 19 and 36 of our LTCHs have cost reporting periods commencing during the first quarter, second quarter and third quarters of 2016, respectively.

Short Stay Outlier Policy

        CMS established a different payment methodology for Medicare patients with a length of stay less than or equal to five-sixths of the geometric average length of stay for that particular MS-LTC-DRG, referred to as a short stay outlier, or "SSO." SSO cases are paid based on the lesser of (1) 100% of the average cost of the case, (2) 120% of the MS-LTC-DRG specific per diem amount multiplied by the patient's length of stay, (3) the full MS-LTC-DRG payment, or (4) a per diem rate derived from blending 120% of the MS-LTC-DRG specific per diem amount with a per diem rate based on the general acute care hospital IPPS.

        The SSO rule also has a category referred to as a "very short stay outlier," which applies to cases with a length of stay that is less than the average length of stay plus one standard deviation for the same MS-DRG under IPPS, referred to as the so-called "IPPS comparable threshold." The LTCH payment for very short stay outlier cases is equivalent to the general acute care hospital IPPS per diem rate. The Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007, or the "SCHIP Extension Act," as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, or the "ARRA," and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or the "ACA," prevented CMS from applying the very short stay outlier policy during the period from December 29, 2007 through December 28, 2012. The very short stay outlier policy again became applicable to discharges occurring on or after December 29, 2012.

High Cost Outliers

        Some cases are extraordinarily costly, producing losses that may be too large for hospitals to offset. Cases with unusually high costs, referred to as "high cost outliers," receive a payment adjustment to reflect the additional resources utilized. CMS provides an additional payment if the estimated costs for the patient exceed the adjusted MS-LTC-DRG payment plus a fixed-loss amount that is established in the annual payment rate update.

Interrupted stays

        An interrupted stay is defined as a case in which an LTCH patient, upon discharge, is admitted to a general acute care hospital, IRF or skilled nursing facility/swing-bed and then returns to the same LTCH within a specified period of time. If the length of stay at the receiving provider is equal to or less than the applicable fixed period of time, it is considered to be an interrupted stay case and the case is treated as a single discharge for the purposes of payment to the LTCH.

Freestanding, HIH and Satellite LTCHs

        LTCHs may be organized and operated as freestanding facilities or as HIHs. As its name suggests, a freestanding LTCH is not located on the campus of another hospital. For such purpose, "campus" means the physical area immediately adjacent to a hospital's main buildings, other areas and structures that are not strictly contiguous to a hospital's main buildings but are located within 250 yards of its main buildings, and any other areas determined, on an individual case basis by the applicable CMS regional office, to be part of a hospital's campus. Conversely, an HIH is an LTCH that is located on the campus of another hospital. An LTCH, whether freestanding or an HIH, that uses the same Medicare provider number of an affiliated "primary site" LTCH is known as a "satellite." Under Medicare policy, a satellite LTCH must be located within 35 miles of its primary site LTCH and be administered by such primary site LTCH. A primary site LTCH may have more than one satellite LTCH. CMS sometimes refers to a satellite LTCH that is freestanding as a "remote location."

Facility Certification Criteria

        The LTCH-PPS regulations define the criteria that must be met in order for a hospital to be certified as an LTCH. To be eligible for payment under the LTCH-PPS, a hospital must be primarily engaged in

18

Table of Contents

providing inpatient services to Medicare beneficiaries with medically complex conditions that require a long hospital stay. In addition, by definition, LTCHs must meet certain facility criteria, including (1) instituting a review process that screens patients for appropriateness of an admission and validates the patient criteria within 48 hours of each patient's admission, evaluates regularly their patients for continuation of care and assesses the available discharge options, (2) having active physician involvement with patient care that includes a physician available on-site daily and additional consulting physicians on call, and (3) having an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to prepare and carry out an individualized treatment plan for each patient.

        An LTCH must have an average inpatient length of stay for Medicare patients (including both Medicare covered and non-covered days and Medicare Advantage Days) of greater than 25 days. LTCHs that fail to exceed an average length of stay of 25 days during any cost reporting period may be paid under the general acute care hospital IPPS if not corrected within established timeframes. CMS, through its contractors, determines whether an LTCH has maintained an average length of stay of greater than 25 days during each annual cost reporting period. Under the BBA of 2013, for discharges occurring in cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015, LTCH cases paid at the site-neutral rate and Medicare Advantage cases are excluded from the LTCH average length of stay calculation.

        Prior to qualifying under the payment system applicable to LTCHs, a new LTCH initially receives payments under the general acute care hospital IPPS. The LTCH must continue to be paid under this system for a minimum of six months while meeting certain Medicare LTCH requirements, the most significant requirement being an average length of stay for Medicare patients (including both Medicare covered and non-covered days) greater than 25 days.

25 Percent Rule

        The "25 Percent Rule" is a downward payment adjustment that applies if the percentage of Medicare patients discharged from LTCHs who were admitted from a referring hospital (regardless of whether the LTCH or LTCH satellite is co-located with the referring hospital) exceeds the applicable percentage admissions threshold during a particular cost reporting period. Specifically, the payment rate for Medicare patients above the percentage admissions threshold are subject to a downward payment adjustment. For Medicare patients above the applicable percentage admissions threshold, the LTCH is reimbursed at a rate comparable to that under general acute care hospital IPPS, which is generally lower than LTCH-PPS rates. Cases that reach outlier status in the referring hospital do not count toward the admissions threshold and are paid under LTCH-PPS.

        The SCHIP Extension Act, as amended by the ARRA and the ACA, has limited the full application of the 25 Percent Rule. However, the SCHIP Extension Act did not postpone the application of the percentage admissions threshold to those Medicare patients discharged from an LTCH HIH or satellite that were admitted from a non-co-located hospital. In addition, CMS adopted regulations providing for a one-year extension of relief from the full application of the 25 Percent Rule. As a result, full implementation of the Medicare percentage admissions thresholds did not go into effect until cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013, except for certain LTCHs with cost reporting periods that begin between July 1, 2012 and through September 30, 2012. Specifically, those freestanding facilities, grandfathered HIHs and grandfathered satellites with cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 and through September 30, 2012 were subject to a modified 25 Percent Rule for discharges occurring in a three month period between July 1, 2012 and September 30, 2012.

        The BBA of 2013 further delays, and in some cases permanently suspends, the application of the 25 Percent Rule. The following table describes the types of LTCHs and the statutory and regulatory relief they have received from the payment adjustment for these discharges:

Table of Contents

        After the expiration of the regulatory relief, as described above, our LTCHs (whether freestanding, HIH or satellite) will be subject to a downward payment adjustment for any Medicare patients who were admitted from a co-located or a non-co-located hospital and that exceed the applicable percentage admissions threshold of all Medicare patients discharged from the LTCH during the cost reporting period. These regulatory changes will have an adverse financial impact on the net operating revenues and profitability of many of these hospitals for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2016.

        The BBA of 2013 requires CMS to report to Congress before October 2016 on the need for any further extensions or modifications of the extensions of the 25 Percent Rule. In addition, the BBA of 2013 requires the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, or "MedPAC," to report to Congress by June 2019 on the need to continue applying the 25 Percent Rule, the effect of site-neutral payment on LTCHs, and recommendations on how to change the site-neutral payment policy.

Moratorium on New LTCHs, LTCH Satellite Facilities and LTCH beds

        The SCHIP Extension Act imposed a moratorium on the establishment and classification of new LTCHs, LTCH satellite facilities and LTCH beds in existing LTCHs or satellite facilities. The ACA extended this moratorium by two years. The moratorium expired on December 28, 2012. The BBA of 2013 reinstated the moratorium on the establishment and classification of new LTCHs or LTCH satellite facilities, and on the increase of LTCH beds in existing LTCHs or satellite facilities beginning January 1, 2015 through September 30, 2017. The PAMA advanced the commencement date of the reinstated moratorium from January 1, 2015 to April 1, 2014. The PAMA includes exceptions to the moratorium that are applicable to the establishment and classification of new LTCHs or LTCH satellites facilities currently under development. The new moratorium will not apply to LTCHs or LTCH satellites facilities that: (1) began their qualifying period to become an LTCH on or before April 1, 2014; (2) had a binding written agreement as of April 1, 2014 with an unrelated party for construction, renovation, or lease for an LTCH and have expended, before April 1, 2014, at least 10% of the estimated cost of the project (or, if less, $2,500,000); or (3) had obtained a certificate of need on or before April 1, 2014. The moratorium as reinstated on April 1, 2014 provides no exceptions for increases in the number of certified beds in existing LTCHs and LTCH satellites. Further, any LTCH that establishes a new satellite, based upon meeting the criteria for an exception to the moratorium, must reduce beds elsewhere in the LTCH in order to have beds in the new satellite location.

One-Time Budget Neutrality Adjustment

        Congress required that the LTCH-PPS payment rates maintain budget neutrality during the first years of the prospective payment system with total expenditures that would have been made under the previous reasonable cost-based payment system. The LTCH-PPS regulations give CMS the ability to make a one-time adjustment to the standard federal rate to correct any "significant difference between actual payments and estimated payments for the first year" of LTCH-PPS. The SCHIP Extension Act precluded CMS from implementing the one-time prospective adjustment to the LTCH standard federal rate for a period of three years. The ACA extended the stay on CMS's ability to adopt a one-time budget neutrality adjustment to LTCH-PPS through December 28, 2012. In the update to the Medicare policies and payment rates for fiscal year 2013, CMS adopted a one-time budget neutrality adjustment that results in a permanent negative adjustment of 3.75% to the LTCH base rate. CMS is implementing the adjustment over a three-year period by applying a factor of 0.98734 to the standard federal rate in fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015, except that the adjustment did not apply to payments for discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2012 through December 28, 2012.

Annual Payment Rate Update

        Fiscal Year 2014.    On August 19, 2013, CMS published the final rule updating the policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2014 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods

beginning on or after October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014). The standard federal rate was set at $40,607, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during the period from December 29, 2012 through September 30, 2013 of $40,398. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2014 includes a market basket increase of 2.5%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, less a reduction of 0.3% mandated by the ACA, and less a budget neutrality adjustment of 1.266%, as discussed above. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases was set at $13,314, which was a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2013 fiscal year of $15,408.

        Fiscal Year 2015.    On August 22, 2014, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2015 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015). The standard federal rate was set at $41,044, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2014 of $40,607. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2015 includes a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, less a reduction of 0.2% mandated by the ACA, and less a budget neutrality adjustment of 1.266%, as discussed above. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases was set at $14,972, which was an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2014 fiscal year of $13,314.

        Fiscal Year 2016.    On August 17, 2015, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2016 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016). The standard federal rate is set at $41,763, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2015 of $41,044. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2016 includes a market basket increase of 2.4%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, and less a reduction of 0.2% mandated by the ACA. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS is set at $16,423, which is an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2015 fiscal year of $14,972. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate described below is set at $22,544.

Medicare Market Basket Adjustments

        The ACA instituted a market basket payment adjustment to LTCHs. In fiscal years 2017 through 2019, the market basket update will be reduced by 0.75%. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 sets the annual update for fiscal year 2018 at 1% after taking into account the market basket payment reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The ACA specifically allows these market basket reductions to result in less than a 0% payment update and payment rates that are less than the prior year.

Medicare Reimbursement of Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Services

        IRFs are paid under a prospective payment system specifically applicable to this provider type, which is referred to as "IRF-PPS." Under the IRF-PPS, each patient discharged from an IRF is assigned to a case mix group, or "IRF-CMG," containing patients with similar clinical conditions that are expected to require similar amounts of resources. An IRF is generally paid a pre-determined fixed amount applicable to the assigned IRF-CMG (subject to applicable case adjustments related to length of stay and facility level adjustments for location and low income patients). The payment amount for each IRF-CMG is intended to reflect the average cost of treating a Medicare patient's condition in an IRF relative to patients with conditions described by other IRF-CMGs. The IRF-PPS also includes special payment policies that adjust the payments for some patients based on the patient's length of stay, the facility's costs, whether the patient was discharged and readmitted and other factors.

Facility Certification Criteria

        Our rehabilitation hospitals must meet certain facility criteria to be classified as an IRF by the Medicare program, including: (1) a provider agreement to participate as a hospital in Medicare, (2) a

22

Table of Contents

preadmission screening procedure, (3) ensuring that patients receive close medical supervision and furnish, through the use of qualified personnel, rehabilitation nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy, plus, as needed, speech therapy, social or psychological services, and orthotic and prosthetic services, (4) a full-time, qualified director of rehabilitation, (5) a plan of treatment for each inpatient that is established, reviewed, and revised as needed by a physician in consultation with other professional personnel who provide services to the patient, and (6) a coordinated multidisciplinary team approach in the rehabilitation of each inpatient, as documented by periodic clinical entries made in the patient's medical record to note the patient's status in relationship to goal attainment, and that team conferences are held at least every two weeks to determine the appropriateness of treatment. Failure to comply with any of the classification criteria may result in the denial of claims for payment or cause a hospital to lose its status as an IRF and be paid under the prospective payment system that applies to general acute care hospitals.

Patient Classification Criteria

        Under the IRF certification criteria that has been in effect since 1983, in order to qualify as an IRF, a hospital was required to satisfy certain operational criteria as well as demonstrate that, during its most recent 12-month cost reporting period, it served an inpatient population of whom at least 75% required intensive rehabilitation services for one or more of 10 conditions specified in the regulation. We refer to such 75% requirement as the "75% Rule."

        New IRF certification criteria became effective for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2004 as a result of the major changes that CMS adopted on May 7, 2004 to the 75% Rule that: (1) temporarily lowered the 75% compliance threshold (starting at 50% and phasing to 75% over four years), (2) modified and expanded from 10 to 13 the medical conditions used to determine whether a hospital qualifies as an IRF, (3) identified the conditions under which comorbidities can be used to verify compliance with the 75% Rule, and (4) changed the timeframe used to determine compliance with the 75% Rule from "the most recent 12-month cost reporting period" to "the most recent, consecutive, and appropriate 12-month period," with the result that a determination of non-compliance with the applicable compliance threshold will affect the facility's certification as an IRF for its cost reporting period that begins immediately after the 12-month review period.

        Under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (the "DRA"), enacted on February 8, 2006, Congress extended the phase-in period for the 75% Rule by maintaining the compliance threshold at 60% (rather than increasing it to the scheduled 65%) during the 12-month period beginning on July 1, 2006. The compliance threshold was then to increase to 65% for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2007 and again to 75% for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2008. However, the SCHIP Extension Act included a permanent freeze in the 75% Rule patient classification criteria compliance threshold at 60% (with comorbidities counting toward this threshold), at which time the requirement became known as the "60% Rule."

        Compliance with the patient classification criteria is demonstrated through either medical review or the "presumptive" method, in which a patient's diagnosis codes are compared to a "presumptive compliance" list. CMS has announced that it will remove a number of diagnosis codes from the presumptive compliance list. According to CMS, these conditions do not demonstrate the need for intensive inpatient rehabilitation services in the absence of additional facts that would have to be pulled from a patient's medical record. Effective October 1, 2015, CMS removed a number of diagnosis codes from the presumptive compliance list including diagnosis codes in the following categories: nonspecific diagnosis codes, arthritis diagnosis codes, unilateral upper extremity amputations diagnosis codes, amputation status codes, prosthetic fitting and adjustment codes, some congenital anomalies diagnosis codes and other miscellaneous diagnosis codes.

Annual Payment Rate Update

        Fiscal Year 2014.    On August 6, 2013, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2014 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2014 was $14,846, which was an increase from the fiscal year 2013 standard payment conversion factor of $14,343. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2014 includes a market basket increase of 2.6%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, and less a reduction of 0.3% mandated by the ACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2014 to $9,272 from $10,466 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2013.

        Fiscal Year 2015.    On August 6, 2014, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2015 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2015 was $15,198, which was an increase from the fiscal year 2014 standard payment conversion factor of $14,846. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2015 includes a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, and less a reduction of 0.2% mandated by the ACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2015 to $8,848 from $9,272 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2014.

        Fiscal Year 2016.    On August 6, 2015, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2016 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2016 is set at $15,478, which is an increase from the fiscal year 2015 standard payment conversion factor of $15,198. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2016 includes a market basket increase of 2.4%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, and less a reduction of 0.2% mandated by the ACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2016 to $8,658 from $8,848 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2015.

Medicare Market Basket Adjustments

        The ACA instituted a market basket payment adjustment for IRFs. In fiscal years 2017 through 2019, the market basket update will be reduced by 0.75%. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 sets the annual update for fiscal year 2018 at 1% after taking into account the market basket payment reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The ACA specifically allows these market basket reductions to result in less than a 0% payment update and payment rates that are less than the prior year.

Medicare Reimbursement of Outpatient Rehabilitation Services

        The Medicare program reimburses outpatient rehabilitation providers based on the Medicare physician fee schedule. Historically, the Medicare physician fee schedule rates have updated annually based on the SGR formula. The SGR formula has resulted in automatic reductions in rates every year since 2002; however, for each year through March 31, 2015 CMS or Congress has taken action to prevent the SGR formula reductions. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 repeals the SGR formula effective for services provided on or after January 1, 2015, and establishes a new payment framework consisting of specified updates to the Medicare physician fee schedule, a new MIPS, and APMs. For services provided between January 1, 2015 and June 30, 2015, a 0% payment update was applied to the Medicare physician fee schedule payment rates. For services provided between July 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015, a 0.5% update was applied to the fee schedule payment rates. For services provided in 2016 through 2019, a 0.5% update will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to MIPS adjustment beginning in 2019. For services provided in 2020 through 2025, a 0.0% percent update will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to MIPS and APM adjustments. Finally, in 2026 and subsequent years eligible professionals participating in APMs that meet

24

Table of Contents

certain criteria would receive annual updates of 0.75%, while all other professionals would receive annual updates of 0.25%.

        The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 requires that payments under the fee schedule be adjusted starting in 2019 based on performance in MIPS, which will consolidate the three existing incentive programs focused on quality, resource use, and meaningful use of electronic health records. The law requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish the MIPS requirements under which a provider's performance is assessed according to established performance standards and used to determine an adjustment factor that is then applied to the professional's payment for a year. Each year from 2019-2024 professionals who receive a significant share of their revenues through an APM (such as accountable care organizations or bundled payment arrangements) that involves risk of financial losses and a quality measurement component will receive a 5% bonus. The bonus payment for APM participation is intended to encourage participation and testing of new APMs and promotes the alignment of incentives across payors. The specifics of the MIPS and APM adjustments beginning in 2019 and 2020, respectively, will be subject to future notice and comment rule-making. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we received approximately 11% of our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues from Medicare.

Therapy Caps

        Beginning on January 1, 1999, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 subjected certain outpatient therapy providers reimbursed under the Medicare physician fee schedule to annual limits for therapy expenses. Effective January 1, 2016, the annual limit on outpatient therapy services is $1,960 for combined physical and speech language pathology services and $1,960 for occupational therapy services. The per beneficiary caps were $1,940 for calendar year 2015.

        The annual limits for therapy expenses historically did not apply to services furnished and billed by outpatient hospital departments. However, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, and prior legislation, extended the annual limits on therapy expenses in hospital outpatient department settings through December 31, 2017. The application of annual limits to hospital outpatient department settings will sunset on December 31, 2017 unless Congress extends it. We operated 1,038 outpatient rehabilitation clinics at December 31, 2015, of which 169 are provider based outpatient rehabilitation clinics operated as departments of the inpatient rehabilitation hospitals we operated.

        In the DRA, Congress implemented an exceptions process to the annual limit for therapy expenses. Under this process, a Medicare enrollee (or person acting on behalf of the Medicare enrollee) is able to request an exception from the therapy caps if the provision of therapy services was deemed to be medically necessary. Therapy cap exceptions have been available automatically for certain conditions and on a case by case basis upon submission of documentation of medical necessity. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 extends the exceptions process for outpatient therapy caps through December 31, 2017. Unless Congress extends the exceptions process, the therapy caps will apply to all outpatient therapy services beginning January 1, 2018, except those services furnished and billed by outpatient hospital departments.

        The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 made several changes to the exceptions process to the annual limit for therapy expenses. For any claim above the annual limit, the claim must contain a modifier indicating that the services are medically necessary and justified by appropriate documentation in the medical record. In addition, all therapy claims, whether above or below the annual limit, must include the national provider identifier (NPI) of the physician responsible for certifying and periodically reviewing the plan of care. Effective October 1, 2012, all claims exceeding $3,700 are subject to a manual medical review process. The $3,700 threshold is applied separately to the combined physical therapy/speech therapy cap and the occupational therapy cap. Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to replace the manual medical review process with a new medical review process using such factors as the Secretary may determine to be

25

Table of Contents

appropriate. The law specifies that such factors may include: (a) whether the therapy provider has a high claims denial percentage for therapy services or is less compliant with applicable requirements; (b) whether the therapy provider has a pattern of billing for therapy services that is aberrant or questionable compared with peers, or otherwise has questionable billing practices, such as billing medically unlikely units of services in a day; (c) whether the therapy provider is newly enrolled or has not previously furnished therapy under Medicare; (d) the types of medical conditions treated by the services; and (e) whether the therapy provider is part of a group. The new factors apply to exception requests for which CMS has not conducted a medical review by July 15, 2015.

Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction

        CMS adopted MPPR Reduction for therapy services in the final update to the Medicare physician fee schedule for calendar year 2011. This MPPR Reduction policy became effective January 1, 2011 and applies to all outpatient therapy services paid under Medicare Part B. The MPPR Reduction policy applies across all therapy disciplines—occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language pathology. Under the policy, the Medicare program pays 100% of the practice expense component of the therapy procedure or unit of service with the highest Relative Value Unit, and then reduces the payment for the practice expense component for the second and subsequent therapy procedures or units of service furnished during the same day for the same patient, regardless of whether those therapy services are furnished in separate sessions. In 2011 and 2012, the second and subsequent therapy service furnished during the same day for the same patient was reduced by 20% in office and other non-institutional settings and by 25% in institutional settings. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 increased the payment reduction in either setting to 50% effective April 1, 2013 for all outpatient therapy services. Our outpatient rehabilitation therapy services are primarily offered in institutional settings and, as such, were subject to the applicable 25% payment reduction in the practice expense component for the second and subsequent therapy services furnished by us to the same patient on the same day until April 1, 2013 when the payment reduction was increased to 50%.

Other Requirements for Payment

        Historically, outpatient rehabilitation services have been subject to scrutiny by the Medicare program for, among other things, medical necessity for services, appropriate documentation for services, supervision of therapy aides and students and billing for single rather than group therapy when services are furnished to more than one patient. CMS has issued guidance to clarify that services performed by a student are not reimbursed even if provided under "line of sight" supervision of the therapist. Likewise, CMS has reiterated that Medicare does not pay for services provided by aides regardless of the level of supervision. CMS also has issued instructions that outpatient physical and occupational therapy services provided simultaneously to two or more individuals by a practitioner should be billed as group therapy services.

Budget Control Act of 2011

        The Budget Control Act of 2011 (the "BCA of 2011"), enacted on August 2, 2011, increased the federal debt ceiling in connection with deficit reductions over the next ten years. The BCA of 2011 requires automatic reductions in federal spending by approximately $1.2 trillion split evenly between domestic and defense spending. Payments to Medicare providers are subject to these automatic spending reductions, subject to a 2% cap. On April 1, 2013, a 2% reduction to Medicare payments was implemented. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, enacted on November 2, 2015, extends the 2% reductions to Medicare payments through fiscal year 2025.

Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014

        The Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014, enacted on October 6, 2014, requires our specialty hospitals to collect and report additional patient assessment data and clinical

26

Table of Contents

measures on each Medicare beneficiary who receives inpatient services in our facilities. Specialty hospitals must begin reporting this data no later than October 1, 2018. Within two years after that, CMS will begin making this data available to the public. Facilities that fail to report the required data will be subject to a 2% reduction in their payment rates. The reduction may result in an annual update of less than zero for the applicable rate year. However, any reduction is limited to the applicable fiscal year and is not cumulative. We expect CMS to publish additional regulations and guidance implementing this new law.

Specialty Hospital Medicaid Reimbursement

        The Medicaid program is designed to provide medical assistance to individuals unable to afford care. The program is governed by the Social Security Act of 1965, funded jointly by each individual state and the federal government, and administered by state agencies. Medicaid payments are made under a number of different systems, which include cost based reimbursement, prospective payment systems or programs that negotiate payment levels with individual hospitals. In addition, Medicaid programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations of policy by the state agencies and certain government funding limitations, all of which may increase or decrease the level of program payments to our hospitals. Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicaid program represented approximately 6% of our specialty hospitals net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Other Medicare Regulations

Medicare Quality Reporting

        The ACA established quality reporting requirements for LTCHs and IRFs. These programs are mandatory. For fiscal year 2014 and each subsequent year, LTCHs and IRFs that do not submit the required quality data will be subject to a 2% reduction in their annual payment update. The reduction can result in payment rates less than the prior year. However, the reduction will not carry over into the subsequent fiscal years.

        The Physician Quality Reporting System, or "PQRS," is a CMS reporting program that uses a combination of incentive payments and payment reductions to promote reporting of quality information by "eligible professionals." Although physical therapists, occupational therapists and qualified speech-language therapists are generally able to participate in the PQRS program, therapy professionals for whose services we bill through our rehab agencies cannot participate because the Medicare claims processing systems currently cannot accommodate institutional providers such as rehab agencies. Eligible professionals, such as those of our therapy professionals for whose services we bill using their individual Medicare provider numbers, who do not satisfactorily report data on quality measures will be subject to a 2% reduction in their Medicare payment. Eligible professionals who satisfactorily report data on PQRS quality measures will earn a 0.5% incentive payment.

Medicare Productivity Adjustment

        The ACA implemented a separate annual productivity adjustment for the first time for hospital inpatient services beginning in fiscal year 2012 for LTCHs and IRFs. This provision applied a negative productivity adjustment to the market basket that is used to update the standard federal rate on an annual basis. The market basket does not currently account for increases in provider productivity that could reduce the actual cost of providing services (e.g., through new technology or fewer inputs). The productivity adjustment will equal the 10-year moving average of changes in the annual economy-wide private non-farm business multi-factor productivity. This is a statistic reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and updated in the spring of each year. While this adjustment will change each year, it is currently estimated that this adjustment to the market basket will be approximately minus 1.0% on average.

Hospital Wage Index

        As part of the methodology for determining prospective payments to LTCHs and IRFs, CMS adjusts the standard payment amounts for area differences in hospital wage levels by a factor reflecting the relative hospital wage level in the geographic area of the hospital compared to the national average hospital wage level. This adjustment factor is the hospital wage index. CMS currently defines hospital geographic areas (labor market areas) based on the definitions of Core-Based Statistical Areas established by the Office of Management and Budget. The ACA calls for CMS to develop and present to Congress a comprehensive reform plan using Bureau of Labor Statistics data, or other data or methodologies, to calculate relative wages for each geographic area involved. In the preamble to the proposed rule for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2012, CMS solicited public comments on ways to redefine the geographic reclassification requirements to more accurately define labor markets. To date CMS has not presented a comprehensive reform plan to Congress.

Independent Payment Advisory Board

        The ACA established an independent board called the Independent Payment Advisory Board that is authorized to develop and submit proposals to the President and Congress to reduce Medicare spending to meet specified targets. The Independent Payment Advisory Board is precluded from submitting proposals that reduce Medicare payments prior to December 31, 2019 for providers, including LTCHs and IRFs, scheduled to receive a reduction in their payment updates in addition to the Medicare productivity adjustment (discussed above). The Independent Payment Advisory Board's proposals would go into effect automatically unless Congress enacts alternative legislation to achieve the required savings (with certain exceptions). The ACA authorized the Independent Payment Advisory Board to issue its first recommendations by January 2014 for implementation in 2015 if the Medicare per capita target growth rate is exceeded, but the CMS Office of the Actuary has determined that the Medicare spending target will not be triggered for 2015. To date, no Independent Payment Advisory Board members have been appointed, and there have been repeated legislative attempts to repeal the provision of the ACA authorizing the establishment of the Independent Payment Advisory Board.

Physician-Owned Hospital Limitations

        CMS regulations include a number of hospital ownership and physician referral provisions, including certain obligations requiring physician-owned hospitals to disclose ownership or investment interests held by the referring physician or his or her immediate family members. In particular, physician-owned hospitals must furnish to patients, on request, a list of physicians or immediate family members who own or invest in the hospital. Moreover, a physician-owned hospital must require all physician owners or investors who are also active members of the hospital's medical staff to disclose in writing their ownership or investment interests in the hospital to all patients they refer to the hospital. CMS can terminate the Medicare provider agreement of a physician-owned hospital if it fails to comply with these disclosure provisions or with the requirement that a hospital disclose in writing to all patients whether there is a physician on-site at the hospital 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

        Under the transparency and program integrity provisions of the ACA, the exception to the federal self-referral law, or "Stark Law," that permits physicians to refer patients to hospitals in which they have an ownership or investment interest has been dramatically curtailed. Only hospitals, including specialty hospitals, with physician ownership and a provider agreement in place on December 31, 2010 are exempt from the general ban on self-referral. Existing physician-owned hospitals are prohibited from increasing the percentage of physician ownership or investment interests held in the hospital after March 23, 2010. In addition, physician-owned hospitals are prohibited from increasing the number of licensed beds after March 23, 2010, unless meeting specific exceptions related to the hospital's location and patient population. In order to retain their exemption from the general ban on self-referrals, our physician-owned hospitals are required to adopt specific measures relating to conflicts of interest, bona fide investments and patient safety. As of December 31, 2015, we operated 10 hospitals that are owned in-part by physicians.

Provider and Employee Screening

        The ACA imposed new screening requirements on all Medicare providers, including LTCHs, IRFs and outpatient rehabilitation providers. The screening must include a licensure check and may include other procedures such as a criminal background check, fingerprinting, unscheduled and unannounced site visits, database checks, and other screening techniques CMS deems appropriate to prevent fraud, waste and abuse. Effective March 23, 2011, Medicare providers and suppliers submitting new enrollment applications or revalidating their existing enrollment status are required to pay a $500 application fee that is adjusted annually by the percentage change in the consumer price index. The ACA also imposed new disclosure requirements and authorizes surety bonds for the enrollment of new providers and suppliers.

        In addition, the ACA requires LTCHs to conduct national and state criminal background checks, including fingerprint checks of their employees and contractors who have (or may have) one-on-one contact with patients. Our LTCHs are prohibited from hiring or retaining workers with a history of patient or resident abuse.

Medicare Compliance Requirements and Penalties

        The ACA included new compliance requirements and increases existing penalties for non-compliance with federal law and the Medicare conditions of participation. In addition, Medicare claims will be paid only if submitted within 12 months. Penalties for submitting false claims and for submitting false statements material to a false claim will be increased. The Secretary will be granted the authority to suspend payments to a provider pending an investigation of credible allegations of fraud. Furthermore, the Recovery Audit Contractor program has been extended to Medicare Parts C and D and Medicaid.

Other Healthcare Regulations

        Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors.    The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 instructed CMS to contract with third-party organizations, known as Recovery Audit Contractors, or "RACs," to identify Medicare underpayments and overpayments, and to authorize RACs to recoup any overpayments. The compensation paid to each RAC is based on a percentage of overpayment recoveries identified by the RAC. CMS has selected and entered into contracts with four RACs, each of which has begun their audit activities in specific jurisdictions. RAC audits of our Medicare reimbursement may lead to assertions that we have been overpaid, require us to incur additional costs to respond to requests for records and pursue the reversal of payment denials, and ultimately require us to refund any amounts determined to have been overpaid. We cannot predict the impact of future RAC reviews on our results of operations or cash flows.

        Fraud and Abuse Enforcement.    Various federal and state laws prohibit the submission of false or fraudulent claims, including claims to obtain payment under Medicare, Medicaid and other government healthcare programs. Penalties for violation of these laws include civil and criminal fines, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs. In recent years, federal and state government agencies have increased the level of enforcement resources and activities targeted at the healthcare industry. In addition, the federal False Claims Act and similar state statutes allow individuals to bring lawsuits on behalf of the government, in what are known as qui tam or "whistleblower" actions, alleging false or fraudulent Medicare or Medicaid claims or other violations of the statute. The use of these private enforcement actions against healthcare providers has increased dramatically in recent years, in part because the individual filing the initial complaint is entitled to share in a portion of any settlement or judgment. Revisions to the False Claims Act enacted in 2009 expanded significantly the scope of liability, provided for new investigative tools, and made it easier for whistleblowers to bring and maintain False Claims Act suits on behalf of the government. See "—Legal Proceedings."

        From time to time, various federal and state agencies, such as the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, or "OIG," issue a variety of pronouncements, including fraud alerts, the OIG's Annual Work Plan and other reports, identifying practices that may be subject to

29

Table of Contents

heightened scrutiny. These pronouncements can identify issues relating to LTCHs, IRFs or outpatient rehabilitation services or providers. For example, the OIG stated in its 2014 Work Plan that it would study (1) readmission patterns in LTCHs to determine whether LTCHs are billing Medicare for higher paying new stays instead of interrupted stays and (2) the extent to which co-located LTCHs readmit patients from the providers with which they are co-located. The OIG issued a corresponding report in June of 2014 in which it recommended that CMS (1) review existing safeguards to determine whether additional action is needed to prevent inappropriate payments for interrupted stays, (2) conduct additional analysis to determine the extent to which financial incentives influence LTCHs' readmission decisions, (3) develop a system to enforce the 5-percent readmission threshold, (4) take appropriate action regarding LTCHs exhibiting certain readmission patterns, and (5) take appropriate action on inappropriate payments and overpayments to co-located LTCHs that exceed the 5-percent readmission threshold. Of these recommendations, CMS concurred with the OIG's recommendation that CMS (1) review existing safeguards to determine whether additional action is needed to prevent inappropriate payments for interrupted stays and (2) take appropriate action on inappropriate payments and overpayments to co-located LTCHs that exceed the 5-percent readmission threshold. In the OIG's 2015 and 2016 Work Plans, the OIG announced its intent to estimate the national incidence of adverse and temporary harm events for Medicare beneficiaries receiving post-acute care in IRFs and LTCHs. As part of this review, the OIG intends to identify factors contributing to these events, determine the extent to which the events were preventable, and estimate the associated costs to Medicare. In the 2016 Work Plan the OIG also indicated it would review compliance with (1) various aspects of IRF PPS, including documentation required in support of claims paid by Medicare, (2) Medicare outlier payments to hospitals and whether CMS performed necessary reconciliations in a timely manner to enable Medicare contractors to perform final settlement of the hospitals' associated cost reports, and (3) hospital compliance with the Medicare provider-based rules. Our IRFs and LTCHs may be required to provide information related to these reviews. We monitor government publications applicable to us to supplement and enhance our compliance efforts.

        We endeavor to conduct our operations in compliance with applicable laws, including healthcare fraud and abuse laws. If we identify any practices as being potentially contrary to applicable law, we will take appropriate action to address the matter, including, where appropriate, disclosure to the proper authorities, which may result in a voluntary refund of monies to Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental healthcare programs.

        Remuneration and Fraud Measures.    The federal anti-kickback statute prohibits some business practices and relationships under Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. These practices include the payment, receipt, offer or solicitation of remuneration in connection with, to induce, or to arrange for, the referral of patients covered by a federal or state healthcare program. Violations of the anti-kickback law may be punished by a criminal fine of up to $50,000 or imprisonment for each violation, or both, civil monetary penalties of $50,000 and damages of up to three times the total amount of remuneration, and exclusion from participation in federal or state healthcare programs.

        The Stark Law prohibits referrals for designated health services by physicians under the Medicare and Medicaid programs to other healthcare providers in which the physicians have an ownership or compensation arrangement unless an exception applies. Sanctions for violating the Stark Law include civil monetary penalties of up to $15,000 per prohibited service provided, assessments equal to three times the dollar value of each such service provided and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and other federal and state healthcare programs. The statute also provides a penalty of up to $100,000 for a circumvention scheme. In addition, many states have adopted or may adopt similar anti-kickback or anti-self-referral statutes. Some of these statutes prohibit the payment or receipt of remuneration for the referral of patients, regardless of the source of the payment for the care. While we do not believe our arrangements are in violation of these prohibitions, we cannot assure you that governmental officials

30

Table of Contents

charged with the responsibility for enforcing the provisions of these prohibitions will not assert that one or more of our arrangements are in violation of the provisions of such laws and regulations.

        Provider-Based Status.    The designation "provider-based" refers to circumstances in which a subordinate facility (e.g., a separately certified Medicare provider, a department of a provider or a satellite facility) is treated as part of a provider for Medicare payment purposes. In these cases, the services of the subordinate facility are included on the "main" provider's cost report and overhead costs of the main provider can be allocated to the subordinate facility, to the extent that they are shared. As of December 31, 2015, we operated 14 specialty hospitals that were treated as provider-based satellites of certain of our other facilities, 169 of the outpatient rehabilitation clinics we operated were provider-based and are operated as departments of the IRFs we operated, and we provide rehabilitation management and staffing services to hospital rehabilitation departments that may be treated as provider-based. These facilities are required to satisfy certain operational standards in order to retain their provider-based status.

        Effective January 1, 2017, outpatient rehabilitation services operated as provider-based and located at an off-campus outpatient department of a hospital, will be paid under the Medicare physician fee schedule, rather than the hospital outpatient prospective payment system, unless services at that location were billed as a department of a hospital prior to November 2, 2015. The 169 outpatient rehabilitation clinics we operated as departments of our IRFs as of November 2, 2015 are grandfathered and will continue to be paid under the hospital outpatient prospective payment system.

        Health Information Practices.    The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or "HIPAA," mandates the adoption of standards for the exchange of electronic health information in an effort to encourage overall administrative simplification and enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the healthcare industry, while maintaining the privacy and security of health information. Among the standards that the Department of Health and Human Services has adopted or will adopt pursuant to HIPAA are standards for electronic transactions and code sets, unique identifiers for providers (referred to as National Provider Identifier), employers, health plans and individuals, security and electronic signatures, privacy and enforcement. If we fail to comply with the HIPAA requirements, we could be subject to criminal penalties and civil sanctions. The privacy, security and enforcement provisions of HIPAA were enhanced by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or "HITECH," which was included in the ARRA. Among other things, HITECH establishes security breach notification requirements, allows enforcement of HIPAA by state attorneys general, and increases penalties for HIPAA violations.

        The Department of Health and Human Services has adopted standards in three areas in which we are required to comply that affect our operations.

        Standards relating to the privacy of individually identifiable health information govern our use and disclosure of protected health information and require us to impose those rules, by contract, on any business associate to whom such information is disclosed.

        Standards relating to electronic transactions and code sets require the use of uniform standards for common healthcare transactions, including healthcare claims information, plan eligibility, referral certification and authorization, claims status, plan enrollment and disenrollment, payment and remittance advice, plan premium payments and coordination of benefits.

        Standards for the security of electronic health information require us to implement various administrative, physical and technical safeguards to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of electronic protected health information.

        We maintain a HIPAA committee that is charged with evaluating and monitoring our compliance with HIPAA. The HIPAA committee monitors regulations promulgated under HIPAA as they have been adopted to date and as additional standards and modifications are adopted. Although health information standards have had a significant effect on the manner in which we handle health data and communicate

31

Table of Contents

with payors, the cost of our compliance has not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We cannot estimate the cost of compliance with standards that have not been issued or finalized by the Department of Health and Human Services.

        In addition to HIPAA, there are numerous federal and state laws and regulations addressing patient and consumer privacy concerns, including unauthorized access or theft of personal information. State statutes and regulations vary from state to state. Lawsuits, including class actions and action by state attorneys general, directed at companies that have experienced a privacy or security breach also can occur. Although our policies and procedures are aimed at complying with privacy and security requirements and minimizing the risks of any breach of privacy or security, there can be no assurance that a breach of privacy or security will not occur. If there is a breach, we may be subject to various penalties and damages and may be required to incur costs to mitigate the impact of the breach on affected individuals.

Compliance Program

Our Compliance Program

        In 1998, we voluntarily adopted our code of conduct. The code is reviewed and amended as necessary and is the basis for our company-wide compliance program. Our written code of conduct provides guidelines for principles and regulatory rules that are applicable to our patient care and business activities. These guidelines are implemented by a compliance officer, a compliance and internal audit committee, and employee education and training. We also have established a reporting system, auditing and monitoring programs, and a disciplinary system as a means for enforcing the code's policies.

Compliance and Internal Audit Committee

        Our compliance and internal audit committee is made up of members of our senior management and in-house counsel. The compliance and internal audit committee meets on a quarterly basis and reviews the activities, reports and operation of our compliance program. In addition, the HIPAA committee provides reports to the compliance and internal audit committee. The vice president of compliance and audit services meets with the compliance and internal audit committee on a quarterly basis to provide an overview of the activities and operation of our compliance program.

Operating Our Compliance Program

        We focus on integrating compliance responsibilities with operational functions. We recognize that our compliance with applicable laws and regulations depends upon individual employee actions as well as company operations. As a result, we have adopted an operations team approach to compliance. Our corporate executives, with the assistance of corporate experts, designed the programs of the compliance and internal audit committee. We utilize facility leaders for employee-level implementation of our code of conduct. This approach is intended to reinforce our company-wide commitment to operate in accordance with the laws and regulations that govern our business.

Compliance Issue Reporting

        In order to facilitate our employees' ability to report known, suspected or potential violations of our code of conduct, we have developed a system of reporting. This reporting, anonymous or attributable, may be accomplished through our toll-free compliance hotline, compliance e-mail address or our compliance post office box. The compliance officer and the compliance and internal audit committee are responsible for reviewing and investigating each compliance incident in accordance with the compliance and audit services department's investigation policy.

Compliance Monitoring and Auditing / Comprehensive Training and Education

        Monitoring reports and the results of compliance for each of our business segments are reported to the compliance and internal audit committee on a quarterly basis. We train and educate our employees regarding the code of conduct, as well as the legal and regulatory requirements relevant to each employee's work environment. New and current employees are required to acknowledge and certify that the employee has read, understood and has agreed to abide by the code of conduct. Additionally, all employees are required to re-certify compliance with the code on an annual basis.

Policies and Procedures Reflecting Compliance Focus Areas

        We review our policies and procedures for our compliance program from time to time in order to improve operations and to ensure compliance with requirements of standards, laws and regulations and to reflect the ongoing compliance focus areas which have been identified by the compliance and internal audit committee.

Internal Audit

        In addition to and in support of the efforts of our compliance and audit department, during 2001 we established an internal audit function. The vice president of compliance and audit services manages the combined compliance and audit department and meets with the audit and compliance committee of the board of directors on a quarterly basis to discuss audit results and provide an overview of the activities and operation of our compliance program.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

        In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, the following are important factors which could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.

Risks Related to our Business

         If there are changes in the rates or methods of government reimbursements for our services, our net operating revenues and profitability could decline.

        Approximately 46% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013, 45% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 37% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 came from the highly regulated federal Medicare program.

        In recent years, through legislative and regulatory actions, the federal government has made substantial changes to various payment systems under the Medicare program. President Obama signed into law comprehensive reforms to the healthcare system, including changes to the methods for, and amounts of, Medicare reimbursement. Additional reforms or other changes to these payment systems, including modifications to the conditions on qualification for payment, bundling payments to cover both acute and post-acute care or the imposition of enrollment limitations on new providers, may be proposed or could be adopted, either by Congress or CMS. If revised regulations are adopted, the availability, methods and rates of Medicare reimbursements for services of the type furnished at our facilities could change. Some of these changes and proposed changes could adversely affect our business strategy, operations and financial results. In addition, there can be no assurance that any increases in Medicare reimbursement rates established by CMS will fully reflect increases in our operating costs.

        The BCA of 2011, enacted on August 2, 2011, increased the federal debt ceiling in connection with deficit reductions over the next ten years. The BCA of 2011 requires automatic reductions in federal spending by approximately $1.2 trillion split evenly between domestic and defense spending. Payments to Medicare providers are subject to these automatic spending reductions, subject to a 2% cap. On April 1, 2013 a 2% reduction to Medicare payments was implemented. The BBA of 2013 extended the automatic

35

Table of Contents

spending reductions through 2023 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 further extended the automatic spending reductions through fiscal year 2025.

         We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry, and changes in regulations, new interpretations of existing regulations or violations of regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions that reduce our net operating revenues and profitability.

        The healthcare industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to (1) facility and professional licensure, including certificates of need, (2) conduct of operations, including financial relationships among healthcare providers, Medicare fraud and abuse and physician self-referral, (3) addition of facilities and services and enrollment of newly developed facilities in the Medicare program, (4) payment for services and (5) safeguarding protected health information.

        Both federal and state regulatory agencies inspect, survey and audit our facilities to review our compliance with these laws and regulations. While our facilities intend to comply with existing licensing, Medicare certification requirements and accreditation standards, there can be no assurance that these regulatory authorities will determine that all applicable requirements are fully met at any given time. A determination by any of these regulatory authorities that a facility is not in compliance with these requirements could lead to the imposition of requirements that the facility takes corrective action, assessment of fines and penalties, or loss of licensure, Medicare certification or accreditation. These consequences could have an adverse effect on our company.

        In addition, there have been heightened coordinated civil and criminal enforcement efforts by both federal and state government agencies relating to the healthcare industry. The ongoing investigations relate to, among other things, various referral practices, cost reporting, billing practices, physician ownership and joint ventures involving hospitals. In the future, different interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations could subject us to allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require us to make changes in our facilities, equipment, personnel, services and capital expenditure programs. These changes may increase our operating expenses and reduce our operating revenues. If we fail to comply with these extensive laws and government regulations, we could become ineligible to receive government program reimbursement, suffer civil or criminal penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations. In addition, we could be forced to expend considerable resources responding to any related investigation or other enforcement action.

         Full implementation of the Medicare 25 Percent Rule applicable to LTCHs will have an adverse effect on our future net operating revenues and profitability.

        Under the 25 Percent Rule, the Medicare payment rate for LTCHs is subject to a downward payment adjustment if the percentage of Medicare patients discharged from an LTCH who were admitted from an individual referring hospital exceeds an applicable percentage admissions threshold during a particular cost reporting period. Cases admitted to an LTCH in excess of the applicable percentage admissions threshold are reimbursed at a rate comparable to that under IPPS. IPPS rates are generally lower than LTCH-PPS rates. Cases that reach outlier status in the discharging hospital do not count toward the limit and are paid under LTCH-PPS.

        LTCHs that are operated as HIHs or as HIH "satellites," are subject to payment reductions for those Medicare patients admitted from their host hospitals in excess of the applicable percentage admissions threshold and from other referring hospitals in excess of the applicable percentage admissions threshold. LTCHs that are operated as freestanding facilities are subject to a payment reduction for those Medicare patients admitted from other referring hospitals in excess of the applicable admissions threshold. Grandfathered HIHs are excluded from the Medicare percentage admissions threshold regulations.

        The SCHIP Extension Act, as amended by the ARRA, the ACA and the BBA of 2013, postponed the full application of the percentage admissions threshold for specific classifications of LTCHs. Full

Table of Contents

implementation of the Medicare percentage admissions thresholds under the 25 Percent Rule will not go into effect until cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2016 or October 1, 2016, depending on the specific classification of LTCH. See "Business—Government Regulations—Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements—Long Term Acute Care Hospital Medicare Reimbursement—25 Percent Rule."

        As of December 31, 2015, we owned 80 HIHs and satellite facilities of which three are grandfathered HIHs and are excluded from the percentage threshold regulations. Of the remaining 77 HIHs and satellite facilities subject to a percentage admissions threshold for admissions from their host hospital; nine of these HIHs and satellite facilities were subject to a maximum 25% Medicare percentage admissions threshold for admissions from their host hospital, five HIHs and satellite facilities are co-located with an MSA dominant hospital and were subject to a Medicare percentage admissions threshold of no more than 50%, nor less than 25%, 18 of these HIHs and satellite facilities were co-located with a MSA dominant hospital or single urban hospital and were subject to a Medicare percentage admissions threshold of no more than 75%, 44 of these HIHs and satellite facilities were subject to a maximum 50% Medicare admissions threshold, and one of these HIHs and satellite facilities was located in a rural area and was subject to a maximum 75% Medicare percentage admissions threshold. As of December 31, 2015, we owned three grandfathered HIHs, all of which are excluded from the percentage admissions threshold regulations. As of December 31, 2015, we owned 28 free-standing LTCHs, which are not subject to the Medicare percentage admissions threshold until cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2016.

        The BBA of 2013 requires CMS to report to Congress before October 2016 on the need for any further extensions or modifications of the extensions of the 25 Percent Rule. In addition, the BBA of 2013 requires MedPAC, an independent federal body that advises Congress on issues affecting the Medicare program, to report to Congress by June 2019 on the need to continue applying the 25 Percent Rule, the effect of site-neutral payment on LTCHs and recommendations on how to change the site-neutral payment policy.

        Because these rules are complex and are based on the volume of Medicare admissions from other referring hospitals as a percent of our overall Medicare admissions, we cannot predict with any certainty the impact on our future net operating revenues and profitability of compliance with these regulations. We expect many of our LTCHs will experience an adverse financial impact when full implementation of the Medicare percentage admissions thresholds goes into effect. Our LTCHs have cost reporting periods that commence on various dates throughout the calendar year. Therefore, the application of the lower percentage admissions thresholds will be staggered and we would not realize the full impact of lower percentage admissions thresholds until 2017.

         If our LTCHs fail to maintain their certifications as LTCHs or if our facilities operated as HIHs fail to qualify as hospitals separate from their host hospitals, our net operating revenues and profitability may decline.

        As of December 31, 2015, we operated 109 LTCHs, 108 of which are currently certified by Medicare as LTCHs and one which is currently awaiting certification. LTCHs must meet certain conditions of participation to enroll in, and seek payment from, the Medicare program as an LTCH, including, among other things, maintaining an average length of stay for Medicare patients in excess of 25 days. An LTCH that fails to maintain this average length of stay for Medicare patients in excess of 25 days during a single cost reporting period is generally allowed an opportunity to show that it meets the length of stay criteria during a subsequent cure period. If the LTCH can show that it meets the length of stay criteria during this cure period, it will continue to be paid under the LTCH-PPS. If the LTCH again fails to meet the average length of stay criteria during the cure period, it will be paid under the general acute care IPPS at rates generally lower than the rates under the LTCH-PPS.

        Similarly, our HIHs must meet conditions of participation in the Medicare program, which include additional criteria establishing separateness from the hospital with which the HIH shares space. If our

37

Table of Contents

LTCHs or HIHs fail to meet or maintain the standards for certification as LTCHs, they will receive payment under the general acute care hospitals IPPS which is generally lower than payment under the system applicable to LTCHs. Payments at rates applicable to general acute care hospitals would result in our LTCHs receiving significantly less Medicare reimbursement than they currently receive for their patient services.

         Implementation of additional patient or facility criteria for LTCHs that limit the population of patients eligible for our hospitals' services or change the basis on which we are paid could adversely affect our net operating revenue and profitability.

        The BBA of 2013 establishes new payment limits for Medicare patients who do not meet specified criteria. Specifically, for Medicare patients discharged in cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015, LTCHs will be reimbursed under LTCH-PPS only if, immediately preceding the patient's LTCH admission, the patient was discharged from a general acute care hospital paid under IPPS and the patient's stay included at least three days in an intensive care unit (ICU) or coronary care unit (CCU) or the patient is assigned to an MS-LTC-DRG for cases receiving at least 96 hours of ventilator services in the LTCH. In addition, to be paid under LTCH-PPS the patient's discharge from the LTCH may not include a principal diagnosis relating to psychiatric or rehabilitation services. For any Medicare patient who does not meet the new criteria, the LTCH will be paid a "site-neutral" payment rate, which will be the lower of (1) the IPPS comparable per-diem payment rate including any outlier payments, or (2) 100 percent of the estimated costs for services. For cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019, payment for all discharges from an LTCH may be subject to the site-neutral payment limitation unless the number of discharges for which payment is made under the LTCH-PPS payment rate is greater than 50% of the total number of discharges for the LTCH. The application of the new site-neutral payment rates under LTCH-PPS may reduce our operating revenues.

        CMS requested public comments in May of 2013 on adoption of a payment adjustment based on whether a particular case qualifies as chronically critically ill/medically complex ("CCI/MC"). CMS indicated that it was considering a change to the LTCH-PPS payment policies that would limit full LTCH-PPS payment to those patients meeting the definition of CCI/MC while they were in an IPPS hospital inpatient setting and subsequently directly admitted to an LTCH. Payment for non-CCI/MC patients would be made at an "IPPS comparable amount," that is, an amount comparable to what would have been paid under the IPPS calculated as a per diem rate with total payments capped at the full IPPS MS-DRG payment rate.

        It is unclear how the adoption of the BBA of 2013 will impact regulatory or legislative proposals to change the LTCH-PPS payment policies. We cannot predict whether Congress or CMS will adopt additional patient-level criteria in the future or, if adopted, how such criteria would affect our LTCHs. Implementation of additional patient or facility criteria that may limit the population of patients eligible for our LTCHs' services or change the basis on which we are paid could adversely affect our net operating revenues and profitability. See "Business—Government Regulations—Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements—Long Term Acute Care Hospital Medicare Reimbursement."

         Decreases in Medicare reimbursement rates received by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics, implementation of annual caps, and payment reductions applied to the second and subsequent therapy services may reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability.

        Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics receive payments from the Medicare program under a fee schedule. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 requires that payments under the fee schedule be adjusted starting in 2019 based on performance in a new Merit-Based Incentive Payment System and, beginning in 2020, incentives for participation in alternative payment models. The specifics of the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System and incentives for participation in alternative payment models will be subject to future notice and comment rule-making. It is unclear what impact, if any, the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System and incentives for participation in alternative payment models will have on our business and operating results, but any resulting decrease in payment may reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability.

        Congress has established annual caps that limit the amount that can be paid (including deductible and coinsurance amounts) for outpatient therapy services rendered to any Medicare beneficiary. As directed by Congress in the DRA, CMS implemented an exception process for therapy expenses incurred in 2006. Under this process, a Medicare enrollee (or person acting on behalf of the Medicare enrollee) was able to request an exception from the therapy caps if the provision of therapy services was deemed to be medically necessary. Therapy cap exceptions were available automatically for certain conditions and on a case by case basis upon submission of documentation of medical necessity. The exception process has been extended by Congress several times. Most recently, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 extends the exceptions process for outpatient therapy caps through December 31, 2017. The exception process will expire on December 31, 2017 unless further extended by Congress. There can be no assurance that Congress will extend it further. To date, the implementation of the therapy caps has not had a material adverse effect on our business. However, if the exception process is not renewed, our future net operating revenues and profitability may decline.

        CMS adopted a multiple procedure payment reduction for therapy services in the final update to the Medicare physician fee schedule for calendar year 2011. Under the policy, the Medicare program pays 100% of the practice expense component of the therapy procedure or unit of service with the highest Relative Value Unit, and then reduces the payment for the practice expense component for the second and subsequent therapy procedures or units of service furnished during the same day for the same patient, regardless of whether those therapy services are furnished in separate sessions. In 2011 and 2012 the second and subsequent therapy service furnished during the same day for the same patient was reduced by 20% in office and other non institutional settings and by 25% in institutional settings. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 increased the payment reduction to 50% effective April 1, 2013. Should CMS adopt further increases in the payment reduction percentage our future net operating revenues and profitability would decline.

         The nature of the markets that Concentra serves may constrain its ability to raise prices at rates sufficient to keep pace with the inflation of its costs.

        Rates of reimbursement for work-related injury or illness visits in Concentra's occupational health services business are established through a legislative or regulatory process within each state that Concentra serves. Currently, 32 states have fee schedules pursuant to which all healthcare providers are uniformly reimbursed. The fee schedules are determined by each state and generally prescribe the maximum amounts that may be reimbursed for a designated procedure. In the states without fee schedules, healthcare providers are generally reimbursed based on usual, customary and reasonable rates charged in the particular state in which the services are provided. Given that Concentra does not control these processes, it may be subject to financial risks if individual jurisdictions reduce rates or do not routinely raise rates of reimbursement in a manner that keeps pace with the inflation of Concentra's costs of service.

        In Concentra's veteran's healthcare business, reimbursement rates are generally set according to the capitated monthly rate based on the number of then enrolled patients at that CBOC. Evolving legislative and regulatory changes aimed at improving veteran's access to care in the wake of Department of Veterans Affairs scandals (none of which involved Concentra's CBOCs) could result in fewer patients enrolling in CBOCs. Federal legislation that permits certain veterans to receive their health care outside of the Department of Veterans Affairs facilities, for example, may reduce demand for services at some of Concentra's CBOCs. Moreover, changes in the methods, manner or amounts of compensation payable for Concentra's services, including, amounts reimbursable to the CBOCs under its agreements with the Department of Veterans Affairs, due to legislative or other changes or shifting budget priorities could result in lower reimbursement for services provided at Concentra's CBOCs. Concentra may receive lower payments from the Veterans Health Administration if fewer eligible veterans are considered to live within the catchments of its CBOCs. These trends could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

         Regulations limiting the diagnosis codes on the presumptive compliance list could adversely affect our net operating revenue and profitability.

        As of December 31, 2015, we operated 18 IRFs, 17 of which are currently certified by Medicare as IRFs and one which is in the process of obtaining its certification. IRFs must meet certain conditions of participation to enroll in, and seek payment from, the Medicare program as an IRF. Among other things, at least 60% of the IRF's total inpatient population must require treatment for one or more of 13 conditions specified by regulation. This requirement is now commonly referred to as the "60% Rule." Compliance with the 60% Rule is demonstrated through a two step process. The first step is the "presumptive" method, in which patient diagnosis codes are compared to a "presumptive compliance" list. IRFs that fail to demonstrate compliance with the 60% Rule using this presumptive test may demonstrate compliance through a second step involving an audit of the facility's medical records to assess compliance.

        Effective October 1, 2015, CMS removed a number of diagnosis codes from the presumptive compliance list including diagnosis codes in the following categories: nonspecific diagnosis codes, arthritis diagnosis codes, unilateral upper extremity amputations diagnosis codes, amputation status codes, prosthetic fitting and adjustment codes, some congenital anomalies diagnosis codes and other miscellaneous diagnosis codes. According to CMS, these conditions do not demonstrate the need for intensive inpatient rehabilitation services in the absence of additional facts that would have to be pulled from a patient's medical record. If an IRF does not demonstrate compliance with the 60% Rule by either the presumptive method or through a review of medical records, then the facility's classification as an IRF may be terminated at the start of its next cost reporting period causing the facility to be paid as a general acute care hospital under IPPS. By removing diagnosis codes from the presumptive compliance list our facilities may be required to demonstrate compliance with the 60% Rule through medical record reviews. If our IRFs fail to demonstrate compliance with the 60% Rule through either method and are classified as general acute care hospitals, our net operating revenue and profitability may be adversely affected.

         As a result of increased post-payment reviews of claims we submit to Medicare for our services, we may incur additional costs and may be required to repay amounts already paid to us.

        We are subject to regular post-payment inquiries, investigations and audits of the claims we submit to Medicare for payment for our services. These post-payment reviews are increasing as a result of new government cost-containment initiatives, including enhanced medical necessity reviews for Medicare patients admitted to our specialty hospitals, and audits of Medicare claims under the Recovery Audit Contractor program. These additional post-payment reviews may require us to incur additional costs to respond to requests for records and to pursue the reversal of payment denials, and ultimately may require us to refund amounts paid to us by Medicare that are determined to have been overpaid.

         Our facilities are subject to extensive federal and state laws and regulations relating to the privacy of individually identifiable information.

        HIPAA required the United States Department of Health and Human Services to adopt standards to protect the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information. The department released final regulations containing privacy standards in December of 2000 and published revisions to the final regulations in August 2002. The privacy regulations extensively regulate the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information. The regulations also provide patients with significant new rights related to understanding and controlling how their health information is used or disclosed. The security regulations require healthcare providers to implement administrative, physical and technical practices to protect the security of individually identifiable health information that is maintained or transmitted electronically. HITECH, which was signed into law in February of 2009, enhanced the privacy, security and enforcement provisions of HIPAA by, among other things, establishing security breach notification requirements, allowing enforcement of HIPAA by state attorneys general, and increasing

40

Table of Contents

penalties for HIPAA violations. Violations of HIPAA or HITECH could result in civil or criminal penalties.

        In addition to HIPAA, there are numerous federal and state laws and regulations addressing patient and consumer privacy concerns, including unauthorized access or theft of patient's identifiable health information. State statutes and regulations vary from state to state. Lawsuits, including class actions and action by state attorneys general, directed at companies that have experienced a privacy or security breach also can occur.

        In the conduct of our business, we process, maintain and transmit sensitive data, including our patient's individually identifiable health information. We have developed a comprehensive set of policies and procedures in our efforts to comply with HIPAA and other privacy laws. Our compliance officer, privacy officer and information security officer are responsible for implementing and monitoring compliance with our privacy and security policies and procedures at our facilities. We believe that the cost of our compliance with HIPAA and other federal and state privacy laws will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that a breach of privacy or security will not occur. If there is a breach, we may be subject to various lawsuits, penalties and damages and may be required to incur costs to mitigate the impact of the breach on affected individuals.

         We may be adversely affected by a security breach of our, or our third-party vendor's, information technology systems, such as a cyber attack, which may cause a violation of HIPAA or HITECH and subject us to potential legal and reputational harm.

        In the normal course of business, our information technology systems hold sensitive patient information including patient demographic data, eligibility for various medical plans including Medicare and Medicaid and protected health information, which is subject to HIPAA and HITECH. Additionally, we utilize those same systems to perform our day-to-day activities, such as receiving referrals, assigning medical teams to patients, documenting medical information, maintaining an accurate record of all transactions, processing payments and maintaining our employee's personal information. We also contract with third-party vendors to maintain and store our patient's individually identifiable health information. Numerous state and federal laws and regulations address privacy and information security concerns resulting from our access to our patient's and employee's personal information.

        Our information technology systems and those of our vendors that process, maintain and transmit such data are subject to computer viruses, cyber attacks or breaches. We adhere to policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with HIPAA and other privacy and information security laws and require our third-party vendors to do so as well. If, however, we or our third-party vendors experience a breach, loss, or other compromise of unsecured protected health information or other personal information, such an event could result in significant civil and criminal penalties, lawsuits, reputational harm and increased costs to us, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

        Furthermore, while our information technology systems, and those of our third-party vendors, are maintained with safeguards protecting against cyber attacks, including passive intrusion protection, firewalls and virus detection software, these safeguards do not ensure that a significant cyber attack could not occur. A cyber attack that bypasses our information technology security systems, or those of our third-party vendors, could cause the loss of protected health information, or other data subject to privacy laws, the loss of proprietary business information, or a material disruption to our or a third-party vendor's information technology business systems resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, our future results could be adversely affected due to the theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation or release of protected health information, other confidential data or proprietary business information, operational or business delays resulting from the

41

Table of Contents

disruption of information technology systems and subsequent clean-up and mitigation activities, negative publicity resulting in reputation or brand damage with clients, members, or industry peers, or regulatory action taken as a result of such incident.

         We may be adversely affected by negative publicity which can result in increased governmental and regulatory scrutiny and possibly adverse regulatory changes.

        Negative press coverage can result in increased governmental and regulatory scrutiny and possibly adverse regulatory changes. Adverse publicity and increased governmental scrutiny can have a negative impact on our reputation with referral sources and patients and on the morale and performance of our employees, both of which could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.

         Future acquisitions or expansions may use significant resources, may be unsuccessful and could expose us to unforeseen liabilities.

        As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue acquisitions of specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics and other related healthcare facilities and services, and increase the number of Concentra medical centers, onsite clinics and CBOCs that Concentra operates. These acquisitions or expansions, including the pending acquisition of Physiotherapy Associates Holdings, Inc. ("Physiotherapy), may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence, additional operating losses and expenses and compliance risks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

        We may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses, such as Physiotherapy, into ours, and therefore we may not be able to realize the intended benefits from an acquisition or expansion. If we fail to successfully integrate acquisitions and expansions into our operations, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. Acquisitions could result in difficulties integrating acquired operations, technologies and personnel into our business. Such difficulties may divert significant financial, operational and managerial resources from our existing operations and make it more difficult to achieve our operating and strategic objectives. We may fail to retain employees or patients acquired through acquisitions, which may negatively impact the integration efforts. Acquisitions could also have a negative impact on our results of operations if it is subsequently determined that goodwill or other acquired intangible assets are impaired, thus resulting in an impairment charge in a future period. Further expansions may require substantial financial resources and management attention, and diverting these resources may negatively affect our financial results.

        In addition, acquisitions, such as Physiotherapy, and expansions involve risks that the acquired businesses or expanded operations will not perform in accordance with expectations; that we may become liable for unforeseen financial or business liabilities, including liabilities for failure to comply with healthcare regulations; that the expected synergies associated with acquisitions or expansions will not be achieved; and that business judgments concerning the value, strengths and weaknesses of businesses acquired or expanded operations will prove incorrect, which could have an material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

         If we are not able to raise the financing for the acquisition of Physiotherapy and Physiotherapy terminates the merger agreement, we will be required to pay a termination fee.

        We intend to finance the acquisition of Physiotherapy with proceeds from a proposed senior secured incremental term facility under Select's existing credit facilities, for which JP Morgan Chase, N.A. has provided us with a debt commitment letter. Should the merger agreement be terminated by Physiotherapy under specified conditions, including circumstances where we are required to close the transaction under the merger agreement and there is a failure of the debt financing to be funded in accordance with the terms of the debt commitment letter, a reverse termination fee of $24.0 million would be payable by us to Physiotherapy.

         Risks associated with our potential international operations.

        We intend to expand our operations into other countries. International operations are subject to risks that may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The risks that our potential international operations would be subject to include, among other things: difficulties and costs relating to staffing and managing foreign operations; fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies; repatriation of cash from our foreign operations to the United States; foreign countries may impose additional withholding taxes or otherwise tax our foreign income; separate operating and financial systems; disaster recovery; and unexpected regulatory, economic and political changes in foreign markets. In addition to the foregoing, our potential international operations will face risks associated with complying with laws governing our foreign business operations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and applicable regulatory requirements.

         Future joint ventures may use significant resources, may be unsuccessful and could expose us to unforeseen liabilities.

        As part of our growth strategy, we may partner with large health care systems to provide post acute care services. These joint ventures may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence, additional operating losses and expenses, and compliance risks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

        A joint venture involves the combining of corporate cultures and mission. As a result, we may not be able to successfully operate a joint venture, and therefore we may not be able to realize the intended benefits. If we fail to successfully execute a joint venture relationship, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. A new joint venture could result in difficulties in combining operations, technologies and personnel. Such difficulties may divert significant financial, operational and managerial resources from our existing operations and make it more difficult to achieve our operating and strategic objectives. We may fail to retain employees or patients as a result of the integration efforts.

        A joint venture is operated through a board of directors that contains representatives of Select and other parties to the joint venture. We may not control the board or some actions of the board may require supermajority votes. As a result, the joint venture may elect certain actions that could have adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.

         Competition may limit our ability to acquire hospitals, clinics and medical centers and adversely affect our growth.

        We have historically faced limited competition in acquiring specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics, but we may face heightened competition in the future. In addition, significant merger and acquisition activity has occurred in Concentra's industry. Our competitors may acquire or seek to acquire many of the hospitals, clinics and medical centers that would be suitable acquisition candidates for us. This increased competition could hamper our ability to acquire companies, or such increased competition may cause us to pay a higher price than we would otherwise pay in a less competitive environment. Increased competition from both strategic and financial buyers could limit our ability to grow by acquisitions or make our cost of acquisitions higher and therefore decrease our profitability.

         If we fail to compete effectively with other hospitals, clinics, medical centers and healthcare providers in the local areas we serve, our net operating revenues and profitability may decline.

        The healthcare business is highly competitive, and we compete with other hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, medical centers and other healthcare providers for patients. If we are unable to compete effectively in the specialty hospital, outpatient rehabilitation and occupational health services businesses, our ability to retain customers and physicians, or maintain or increase our revenue growth, price flexibility, control

43

Table of Contents

over medical cost trends and marketing expenses may be compromised and our net operating revenues and profitability may decline.

        Many of our specialty hospitals operate in geographic areas where we compete with at least one other hospital that provides similar services.

        Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics face competition from a variety of local and national outpatient rehabilitation providers, including physician-owned physical therapy clinics, dedicated locally owned and managed outpatient rehabilitation clinics and hospital or university owned or affiliated ventures, as well as national and regional providers in select areas. Other competing outpatient rehabilitation clinics in local areas we serve may have greater name recognition and longer operating histories than our clinics. The managers of these competing clinics may also have stronger relationships with physicians in their communities, which could give them a competitive advantage for patient referrals. Because the barriers to entry are not substantial and current customers have the flexibility to move easily to new healthcare service providers, we believe that new outpatient physical therapy competitors can emerge relatively quickly.

        Concentra's primary competitors have typically been independent physicians, hospital emergency departments and hospital-owned or hospital-affiliated medical facilities. Because the barriers to entry in Concentra's geographic markets are not substantial and its current customers have the flexibility to move easily to new healthcare service providers, new competitors to Concentra can emerge relatively quickly. The markets for Concentra's consumer health and veteran's healthcare businesses are also fragmented and competitive. If Concentra's competitors are better able to attract patients or expand services at their facilities than Concentra is, Concentra may experience an overall decline in revenue. Similarly, competitive pricing pressures from our competitors could cause Concentra to lose existing or future CBOC contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs, which may also cause Concentra to experience an overall decline in revenue.

         Future cost containment initiatives undertaken by private third-party payors may limit our future net operating revenues and profitability.

        Initiatives undertaken by major insurers and managed care companies to contain healthcare costs affect the profitability of our specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics. These payors attempt to control healthcare costs by contracting with hospitals and other healthcare providers to obtain services on a discounted basis. We believe that this trend may continue and may limit reimbursements for healthcare services. If insurers or managed care companies from whom we receive substantial payments reduce the amounts they pay for services, our profit margins may decline, or we may lose patients if we choose not to renew our contracts with these insurers at lower rates.

         If we fail to maintain established relationships with the physicians in the areas we serve, our net operating revenues may decrease.

        Our success is partially dependent upon the admissions and referral practices of the physicians in the communities our hospitals and our outpatient rehabilitation clinics serve, and our ability to maintain good relations with these physicians. Physicians referring patients to our hospitals and clinics are generally not our employees and, in many of the local areas that we serve, most physicians have admitting privileges at other hospitals and are free to refer their patients to other providers. If we are unable to successfully cultivate and maintain strong relationships with these physicians, our hospitals' admissions and clinics' businesses may decrease, and our net operating revenues may decline.

         Changes in federal or state law limiting or prohibiting certain physician referrals may preclude physicians from investing in our hospitals or referring to hospitals in which they already own an interest.

        The Stark Law prohibits a physician who has a financial relationship with an entity from referring his or her Medicare or Medicaid patients to that entity for certain designated health services, including

44

Table of Contents

inpatient and outpatient hospital services. Under the transparency and program integrity provisions of the ACA, the exception to the Stark Law that previously permitted physicians to refer patients to hospitals in which they have an ownership or investment interest has been dramatically curtailed. Only hospitals, including specialty hospitals, with physician ownership and a provider agreement in place on December 31, 2010 are exempt from the general ban on self-referral. Existing physician-owned hospitals are prohibited from increasing the percentage of physician ownership or investment interests held in the hospital after March 23, 2010. In addition, physician-owned hospitals are prohibited from increasing the number of licensed beds after March 23, 2010, unless meeting specific exceptions related to the hospital's location and patient population. In order to retain their exemption from the general ban on self-referrals, our physician owned hospitals are required to adopt specific measures relating to conflicts of interest, bona fide investments and patient safety. Furthermore, initiatives are underway in some states to restrict physician referrals to physician-owned hospitals. Currently, 10 of our consolidating hospitals have physicians as minority owners. The aggregate net operating revenue of these 10 hospitals was $176.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, or approximately 4.7% of our consolidated net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015. The range of physician minority ownership of these 10 hospitals was 2.1% to 38.7% as of the year ended December 31, 2015. There can be no assurance that new legislation or regulation prohibiting or limiting physician referrals to physician-owned hospitals will not be successfully enacted in the future. If such federal or state laws are adopted, among other outcomes, physicians who have invested in our hospitals could be precluded from referring to, investing in or continuing to be physician owners of a hospital. In addition, expansion of our physician-owned hospitals may be limited, and the revenues, profitability and overall financial performance of our hospitals may be negatively affected.

         We could experience significant increases to our operating costs due to shortages of healthcare professionals or union activity.

        Our specialty hospitals are highly dependent on nurses, our outpatient rehabilitation division is highly dependent on therapists for patient care, and Concentra is highly dependent upon the ability of its affiliated professional groups to recruit and retain qualified physicians and other licensed providers. The market for qualified healthcare professionals is highly competitive. We have sometimes experienced difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified healthcare personnel. We cannot assure you we will be able to attract and retain qualified healthcare professionals in the future. Additionally, the cost of attracting and retaining qualified healthcare personnel may be higher than we anticipate, and as a result, our profitability could decline.

        In addition, U.S. healthcare providers are continuing to see an increase in the amount of union activity. Though we cannot predict the degree to which we will be affected by future union activity, there are continuing legislative proposals that could result in increased union activity. We could experience an increase in labor and other costs from such union activity.

         Our business operations could be significantly disrupted if we lose key members of our management team.

        Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior officers and other key employees, and our ability to retain and motivate these individuals. We currently have employment agreements in place with three executive officers and change in control agreements and/or non-competition agreements with several other officers. Many of these individuals also have significant equity ownership in our company. We do not maintain any key life insurance policies for any of our employees. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could disrupt significant aspects of our business, could prevent us from successfully executing our business strategy and could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations.

         In conducting our business, we are required to comply with applicable laws regarding fee-splitting and the corporate practice of medicine.

        Some states prohibit the "corporate practice of medicine" that restricts business corporations from practicing medicine through the direct employment of physicians or from exercising control over medical decisions by physicians. Some states similarly prohibit the "corporate practice of therapy." The laws relating to corporate practice vary from state to state and are not fully developed in each state in which we have facilities. Typically, however, professional corporations owned and controlled by licensed professionals are exempt from corporate practice restrictions and may employ physicians or therapists to furnish professional services. Also, in some states hospitals are permitted to employ physicians.

        Some states also prohibit entities from engaging in certain financial arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians or therapists. The laws relating to fee-splitting also vary from state to state and are not fully developed. Generally, these laws restrict business arrangements that involve a physician or therapist sharing medical fees with a referral source, but in some states these laws have been interpreted to extend to management agreements between physicians or therapists and business entities under some circumstances.

        We believe that the Company's current and planned activities do not constitute fee-splitting or the unlawful corporate practice of medicine as contemplated by these state laws. However, there can be no assurance that future interpretations of such laws will not require structural and organizational modification of our existing relationships with the practices. If a court or regulatory body determines that we have violated these laws or if new laws are introduced that would render our arrangements illegal, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, our contracts could be found legally invalid and unenforceable (in whole or in part), or we could be required to restructure our contractual arrangements with our affiliated physicians and other licensed providers.

         If Concentra is unable to implement and enhance its information systems in a manner that leverages its knowledge of the workers' compensation market and or more efficiently process and manage claims, results may be adversely affected.

        To leverage its knowledge of workplace injuries, treatment protocols, outcomes data and complex regulatory provisions related to the workers' compensation market, Concentra must continue to implement and enhance information systems that can analyze its data related to the workers' compensation industry. Concentra frequently upgrades existing operating systems and is updating other information systems upon which it relies. Concentra has detailed implementation schedules for these projects that require extensive involvement from its operational, technological and financial personnel. Delays or other problems Concentra might encounter in implementing these projects could adversely affect its ability to deliver streamlined patient care and outcome reporting to its customers.

        In addition, Concentra expects that a considerable amount of its future growth will depend on its ability to process and manage claims data more efficiently and to provide more meaningful healthcare information to customers and payors of healthcare. There can be no assurance that Concentra's current data processing capabilities will be adequate for its future growth, that it will be able to efficiently upgrade its systems to meet future demands, or that it will be able to develop, license or otherwise acquire software to address these market demands as well or as timely as its competitors.

         If the frequency of workplace injuries and illnesses continues to decline, Concentra's results may be negatively affected.

        Approximately 52% of Concentra's revenue in 2015 was generated from the treatment or review of workers' compensation claims. In the past decade, the number of workers' compensation claims has decreased, which Concentra primarily attributes to improvements in workplace safety, improved risk management by employers and changes in the type and composition of jobs. During the economic

46

Table of Contents

downturn, the number of employees with workers' compensation insurance substantially decreased. Although the number of covered employees has increased more in recent years as the employment rate has increased, adverse economic conditions can cause the number of covered employees to decline which can cause further declines in workers' compensation claims. There may also be a decrease in claims because more workers have access to health insurance since the enactment of the ACA and are less likely to file worker's compensation claims. In addition, because of the greater access to health insurance and the fact that the U.S. economy has continued to shift from a manufacturing-based to a service-based economy along with general improvements in workplace safety, workers are generally healthier and less prone to work injuries. Increases in employer-sponsored wellness and health promotion programs, spurred in part by the ACA, have led to fitter and healthier employees who may be less likely to injure themselves on the job. Concentra's business model is based, in part, on its ability to expand its relative share of the market for the treatment and review of claims for workplace injuries and illnesses. If workplace injuries and illnesses decline at a greater rate than the increase in total employment or if total employment declines at a greater rate than the increase in incident rates, the number of claims in the workers' compensation market will decrease and may adversely affect Concentra's business.

         If Concentra loses several significant employer customers, its results may be adversely affected.

        Concentra's results may decline if it loses several significant employer customers in a short period. Most of Concentra's customer agreements permit either party to terminate without cause upon 30, 60 or 90 days' prior written notice. If several significant employer customers terminate, or do not renew or extend their agreements with Concentra, its results could be adversely affected. One or more of Concentra's significant employer customers could be acquired. Additionally, Concentra could lose significant employer customers due to competitive pricing pressures or other reasons. The loss of several significant employer customers could cause a material decline in Concentra's profitability and operating performance.

         We may not receive payment from some of our patients because of their financial circumstances.

        Some of our patients may not have significant financial resources, liquidity or access to capital. If these patients experience financial difficulties they may be unable to pay for the healthcare services that we will provide, including their copays or deductibles. A significant deterioration in general or local economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the financial health of our patients, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

         Significant legal actions could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.

        Physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers have become subject to an increasing number of legal actions alleging malpractice, product liability or related legal theories. Many of these actions involve large claims and significant defense costs. We are also subject to lawsuits under federal and state whistleblower statutes designed to combat fraud and abuse in the healthcare industry. These whistleblower lawsuits are not covered by insurance and can involve significant monetary damages and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. See "Legal Proceedings" and Note 14 in our audited consolidated financial statements.

        We currently maintain professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of $35.0 million. Our insurance for the professional liability coverage is written on a "claims-made" basis and our commercial general liability coverage is maintained on an "occurrence" basis. These coverages apply after a self-insured retention of $2.0 million per medical incident for professional liability claims and $2.0 million per occurrence for general liability claims. We review our insurance program annually and may make adjustments to the amount of insurance coverage and self-insured retentions in future years. In addition, our insurance coverage does not generally cover punitive damages and may not cover all claims against us. See "Business—Government Regulations—Other Healthcare Regulations."

         Concentration of ownership among our existing executives and directors may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

        Our executives and directors, beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 19.6% of Holdings' outstanding common stock as of February 1, 2016. As a result, these stockholders have significant control over our management and policies and are able to exercise influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions. The directors elected by these stockholders are able to make decisions affecting our capital structure, including decisions to issue additional capital stock, implement stock repurchase programs and incur indebtedness. This influence may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interest.

Risks Related to our Capital Structure

         If WCAS and the other members of Group Holdings exercise their Put Right, it may have an adverse effect on our liquidity. Additionally, we may not have adequate funds to pay amounts due in connection with the Put Right, if exercised, in which case we would be required to issue Holdings' common stock to purchase interests of Group Holdings and our stockholder's ownership interest will be diluted.

        Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Group Holdings, WCAS and the other members of Group Holdings have a put right (the "Put Right") with respect to their equity interests in Group Holdings. If a Put Right is exercised by WCAS, Select will be obligated to purchase up to 33¹/3% of the equity interests of Group Holdings that WCAS purchased on June 1, 2015, at a purchase price based on a valuation of Group Holdings performed by an investment bank to be mutually agreed between Select and WCAS, which valuation will be based on certain precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA. Select has the right to elect to pay the purchase price in cash or in shares of Holdings' common stock. WCAS may first exercise its Put Right after June 1, 2018, and then may exercise its Put Right again annually during each fiscal year thereafter. If WCAS exercises its Put Right, the other members of Group Holdings may elect to sell to Select, on the same terms as WCAS, a percentage of their equity interests of Group Holdings that such member purchased on June 1, 2015, up to but not exceeding the percentage of its initial equity interests that WCAS has determined to sell to Select in the exercise of its Put Right.

        Furthermore, WCAS and the other members of Group Holdings will have a put right with respect to their equity interest in Group Holdings in the event Holdings or Select experiences a change of control that has not been previously approved by WCAS and which results in change in the senior management of Select (an "SEM COC Put Right"). If an SEM COC Put Right is exercised by WCAS, WCAS and each other member of Group Holdings will be obligated to sell all (but not less than all) of their equity interests in Group Holdings to Select, at a purchase price based on a valuation of Group Holdings performed by an investment bank to be mutually agreed between Select and WCAS, which valuation will be based on certain precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA.

        We may not have sufficient funds, borrowing capacity or other capital resources available to pay for the interests of Group Holdings in cash if WCAS and the other members of Group Holdings exercise their Put Rights or maybe prohibited from doing so under the terms of our debt agreements. Such lack of available funds upon the exercising of the Put Rights would force us to issue stock at a time we might not otherwise desire to do so in order to purchase the interests of Group Holdings. To the extent that the interests of Group Holdings are purchased by issuing shares of our common stock, the increase in the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding may depress the price of our common stock and our stockholders will experience dilution in their respective percentage ownership in us. In addition, shares issued to purchase the interests in Group Holdings will be valued at the twenty-one trading day

48

---

Table of Contents

volume-weighted average sales price of such shares for the period beginning ten trading days immediately preceding the first public announcement of the Put Right being exercised and ending ten trading days immediately following such announcement. Because the value of the common stock issued to purchase the interests in Group Holdings is, in part, determined by the sales price of our common stock following the announcement that the Put Right is being exercised, which may cause the sales price of our common stock to decline, the amount of common stock we may have to issue to purchase the interests in Group Holdings may increase, resulting in further dilution to our existing stockholders.

         Our substantial indebtedness may limit the amount of cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business.

        We have a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2015, Select had approximately $1,768.7 million of total indebtedness excluding the debt at Concentra. Taking into account the indebtedness under the Concentra credit facilities (as defined below), which is nonrecourse to Select, our total indebtedness at December 31, 2015 was $2,423.9 million. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, Select paid cash interest of $89.1 million and $78.8 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2015, Select paid cash interest, including cash interest paid by Concentra on Concentra's indebtedness, of $103.2 million. Our indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it:

•

requires us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, development activity, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;



•

increases our vulnerability to adverse general economic or industry conditions;



•

limits our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or the industries in which we operate;



•

makes us more vulnerable to increases in interest rates, as borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities are at variable rates;



•

limits our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital or other purposes; and



•

places us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less indebtedness.

        Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and ability to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness. In addition, there would be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows if we were unable to service our indebtedness or obtain additional financing, as needed.

        See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."

         Our credit facilities and the indenture governing Select's 6.375% senior notes require us to comply with certain financial covenants and obligations, the default of which may result in the acceleration of certain of our indebtedness.

        In the case of an event of default under the agreements governing our indebtedness, the lenders under these agreements could elect to declare all amounts borrowed, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, to be due and payable. If we are unable to obtain a waiver from the requisite lenders under such circumstances, the lenders could exercise their rights as described above, then our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected and we could become bankrupt or insolvent.

Table of Contents

        The Select credit facilities (as defined below) require Select to maintain a leverage ratio (based upon the ratio of indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA as defined in the agreement), which is tested quarterly. The Select credit facilities also prohibit Select from making capital expenditures in excess of $125.0 million in any fiscal year (subject to a 50% carry-over provision). Failure to comply with these covenants would result in an event of default under the Select credit facilities and, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders, preclude Select from making further borrowings under its revolving facility and permit the lenders to accelerate all outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities.

        The Concentra first lien credit agreement (as defined below) requires Concentra to maintain a leverage ratio (based upon the ratio of indebtedness for money borrowed to consolidated EBITDA) of 5.25 to 1.00, which is tested quarterly, but only if Revolving Exposure (as defined in the Concentra credit facilities (as defined below)) exceeds 30% of Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Concentra credit facilities) on such day. Failure to comply with this covenant would result in an event of default under the Concentra revolving facility (as defined below) only and, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders, preclude Concentra from making further borrowings under the Concentra revolving facility and permit the lenders to accelerate all outstanding borrowings under the Concentra revolving facility. Upon such acceleration, Concentra's failure to comply with the financial covenant would result in an Event of Default (as defined in the Concentra credit facilities) with respect to the Concentra first lien term loan (as defined below).

        The Concentra credit facilities also contain a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on mergers, consolidations and dissolutions; sales of assets; investments and acquisitions; indebtedness; liens; affiliate transactions; and dividends and restricted payments. The Concentra credit facilities contain events of default for non-payment of principal and interest when due (subject to a grace period for interest), cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions and an event of default that would be triggered by a change of control.

        As of December 31, 2015, Select was required to maintain its leverage ratio (its ratio of total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters) at less than 5.75 to 1.00. For the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2015, Select's leverage ratio was 4.78 to 1.00.

        While we have never defaulted on compliance with any of our financial covenants, our ability to comply with these ratios in the future may be affected by events beyond our control. Inability to comply with the required financial covenants could result in a default under our indebtedness. In the event of any default under Select's credit facilities, the lenders could elect to terminate borrowing commitments and declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable. In the event of any default under Select's indenture, the trustee or holders of 25% of the notes could declare all outstanding 6.375% senior notes immediately due and payable.

         Payment of interest on, and repayment of principal of, our indebtedness is dependent in part on cash flow generated by our subsidiaries.

        Payment of interest on, and repayment of principal of our indebtedness will be dependent in part upon cash flow generated by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Our subsidiaries may not be able to, or be permitted to, make distributions to enable us to make payments in respect of our indebtedness. For example, as a general matter, Concentra is restricted from paying dividends under the Concentra credit facilities and therefore we cannot rely on Concentra's cash flow to repay Select's indebtedness. Each of our subsidiaries is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries. In the event that we do not receive distributions from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness. In addition, any payment of interest, dividends, distributions, loans or advances by our subsidiaries to us could be subject to

50

Table of Contents

restrictions on dividends or repatriation of distributions under applicable local law, monetary transfer restrictions and foreign currency exchange regulations in the jurisdictions in which the subsidiaries operate or under arrangements with local partners. Furthermore, the ability of our subsidiaries to make such payments of interest, dividends, distributions, loans or advances may be contested by taxing authorities in the relevant jurisdictions.

         Despite our substantial level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risks described above.

        We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future. Although the Select credit facilities and the Concentra credit facilities contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and the indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. Also, these restrictions do not prevent us or our subsidiaries from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. As of December 31, 2015, Select had $116.1 million of availability under the Select revolving facility (as defined below) (after giving effect to $38.9 million of outstanding letters of credit) and Concentra had $39.0 million of availability under the Concentra revolving facility (after giving effect to $6.0 million of outstanding letters of credit). In addition, to the extent new debt is added to us and our subsidiaries' current debt levels, the substantial leverage risks described above would increase.

         Concentra's inability to meet the conditions and payments under the Concentra credit facilities, although non-recourse to Select, could jeopardize Select's equity contribution to Group Holdings.

        Select is not a party to the Concentra credit facilities and is not an obligor with respect to Concentra's debt under such agreements; however, if Concentra fails to meet its obligations and defaults on the Concentra credit facilities, a portion of or all of Select's equity investment in Group Holdings, the indirect parent company of Concentra, could be at risk of loss.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings.

        The Company is a party to various legal actions, proceedings and claims (some of which are not insured), and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations in the ordinary course of its business. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, proceedings and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations. These matters could potentially subject the Company to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines and other penalties. The Department of Justice, CMS or other federal and state enforcement and regulatory agencies may conduct additional investigations related to the Company's businesses in the future that may, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

        To address claims arising out of the operations of the Company's specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, the Company maintains professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance, subject to self-insured retention of $2.0 million per medical incident for professional liability claims and $2.0 million per occurrence for general liability claims. The Company also maintains umbrella liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered by the Company's other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. Significant legal actions, as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance, could subject the Company to substantial uninsured liabilities. In the Company's opinion, the outcome of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

        Healthcare providers are subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether or not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. The Company has been a defendant in these cases in the past, and may be named as a defendant in similar cases from time to time in the future.

        On October 19, 2015, the plaintiff-relators filed a Second Amended Complaint in United States of America, ex rel. Tracy Conroy, Pamela Schenk and Lisa Wilson v. Select Medical Corporation, Select Specialty Hospital—Evansville, LLC ("SSH-Evansville"), Select Employment Services, Inc., and Dr. Richard Sloan. The case is a civil action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana by private plaintiff-relators on behalf of the United States under the federal False Claims Act. The plaintiff-relators are the former CEO and two former case managers at SSH-Evansville, and the defendants currently include the Company, SSH-Evansville, a subsidiary of the Company serving as common paymaster for its employees, and a physician who practices at SSH-Evansville. The plaintiff-relators allege that that SSH-Evansville discharged patients too early or held patients too long, improperly discharged patients to and readmitted them from short stay hospitals, up-coded diagnoses at admission, and admitted patients for whom long-term acute care was not medically necessary. They also allege that the defendants engaged in retaliation in violation of federal and state law. The Second Amended Complaint replaces a prior complaint that was filed under seal on September 28, 2012 and served on the Company on February 15, 2013, after a federal magistrate judge unsealed it on January 8, 2013. All deadlines in the case had been stayed after the seal was lifted in order to allow the government time to complete its investigation and to decide whether or not to intervene. On June 19, 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice notified the court of its decision not to intervene in the case, and the court thereafter approved a case management plan imposing certain deadlines. The plaintiff-relators filed a Second Amended Complaint in October 2015, and defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss such Complaint in December 2015. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

        On July 13, 2015, the federal District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee unsealed a qui tam Complaint in Armes v. Garman, et al, No. 3:14-cv-00172-TAV-CCS, which named as defendants Select, Select Specialty Hospital—Knoxville, Inc. ("SSH-Knoxville"), Select Specialty Hospital—North Knoxville, Inc. and ten current or former employees of these facilities. The Complaint was unsealed after the United States and the State of Tennessee notified the Court on July 13, 2015 that each had decided not to intervene in the case. The Complaint is a civil action that was filed under seal on April 29, 2014 by a respiratory therapist formerly employed at SSH-Knoxville. The Complaint alleges violations of the federal False Claims Act and the Tennessee Medicaid False Claims Act based on extending patient stays to increase reimbursement and to increase average length of stay; artificially prolonging the lives of patients to increase Medicare reimbursements and decrease inspections; admitting patients who do not require medically necessary care; performing unnecessary procedures and services; and delaying performance of procedures to increase billing. The Complaint was served on some of the defendants during October 2015. The defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss such Complaint in November 2015. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action if the relators pursue it, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

        Since the dividend described above, Holdings has not paid or declared any dividends on its common stock. We do not anticipate paying any further dividends on Holdings' common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings to finance the ongoing operations and growth of our business. Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on conditions at that time, including our financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. Additionally, certain contractual agreements we are party to, including the Select credit facilities and the Indenture governing Select's 6.375% senior notes, restrict our capacity to pay dividends.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

        You should read this discussion together with the "Selected Financial Data" and consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere herein.

Overview

        We began operations in 1997, and we believe that we are one of the largest operators of both specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the United States based on number of facilities. On June 1, 2015, a joint venture created by Select and WCAS consummated the acquisition of Concentra, which provides occupational medicine, consumer health, physical therapy, and veteran's healthcare services throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2015, we operated 127 specialty hospitals in 27 states, and 1,038 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 31 states and the District of Columbia. Through our contract therapy business we provide medical rehabilitation services on a contracted basis to nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living and senior care centers, schools, and work sites. As of December 31, 2015, Concentra operated 300 medical centers in 38 states. Concentra also provides contract services at employer worksites and Department of Veterans Affairs CBOCs. As of December 31, 2015, we had operations in 46 states and the District of Columbia.

        We manage our Company through three business segments; specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation and, as of June 1, 2015, our Concentra segment. We had net operating revenues of $3,742.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Of this total, we earned approximately 63% of our net operating revenues from our specialty hospitals segment, approximately 22% from our outpatient rehabilitation segment, and approximately 15% from our Concentra segment. Our specialty hospitals segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of long term acute care patients and hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive medical rehabilitation care. Patients are typically admitted to our specialty hospitals from general acute care hospitals. These patients have specialized needs, and serious and often complex medical conditions such as respiratory failure, neuromuscular disorders, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, non-healing wounds, cardiac disorders, renal disorders, and cancer. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics and contract therapy that provide physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation services. Our outpatient rehabilitation patients are typically diagnosed with musculoskeletal impairments that restrict their ability to perform normal activities of daily living. Our Concentra segment consists of medical centers and contract services provided at employer worksites and Department of Veterans Affairs CBOCs that deliver occupational medicine, consumer health, physical therapy, and veteran's healthcare services. The financial and statistical information related to the operation of the Concentra segment, and used for calculations in our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2015, discussed herein, began as of June 1, 2015, which is the date the Concentra acquisition was consummated.

Significant 2015 Events

Concentra Transaction

        On June 1, 2015, MJ Acquisition Corporation, a joint venture that Select created with WCAS, consummated the acquisition of Concentra. Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement, MJ Acquisition Corporation acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Concentra from Humana, Inc. ("Humana") for $1,047.2 million, net of $3.8 million of cash acquired. Select used borrowings under the Select revolving facility to fund its portion of the equity contribution to Group Holdings in an aggregate amount equal to $217.9 million. Group Holdings contributed those funds along with $217.1 million of equity contributions of its other members to MJ Acquisition Corporation, which used the funds, together with the borrowings under the Concentra credit facilities to pay the purchase price to Humana.

        Group Holdings is the parent company of Concentra, the surviving entity of the merger between MJ Acquisition Corporation and Concentra. Select owns 50.1% of the voting equity interests of Group Holdings. Concentra's financial results are consolidated with Select's as of June 1, 2015.

        Our acquisition costs related to the acquisition of Concentra were $4.7 million and are included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015. Concentra incurred $23.3 million of debt issuance costs related to the Concentra credit facilities through December 31, 2015. The original issue discounts and debt issuance costs associated with the Concentra term loans are being amortized in interest expense beginning June 1, 2015 using the interest method which will continue over the total term of each respective facility.

Financing Transactions

Select Credit Facilities

        On May 20, 2015, Select entered into an additional credit extension amendment to the Select credit facilities. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the additional credit extension amendment, the lenders named therein committed an additional $100.0 million in incremental revolving commitments that mature on March 1, 2018. All other material terms and conditions applicable to the Select revolving facility commitments are applicable to incremental revolving commitments created under the additional credit extension amendment.

        On December 11, 2015, Select amended the Select credit facilities in order to, among other things: (i) convert $56.2 million of its series D term loan into series E term loan, which have a maturity date of June 1, 2018; (ii) increase the interest rate payable on the series E term loan from Adjusted LIBO plus 2.75% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO rate floor of 1.00%), or Alternative Base Rate plus 1.75%, to Adjusted LIBO plus 4.00% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO rate floor of 1.00%), or Alternative Base Rate plus 3.00%; (iii) beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2015, increase the quarterly compliance threshold set forth in the leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant to a level of 5.75 to 1.00 from 5.00 to 1.00; (iv) increase the capacity for incremental extensions of credit to $450.0 million; and (v) amend the definition of "Consolidated EBITDA" to add back certain specialty hospital start-up losses.

Concentra Credit Facilities

        On June 1, 2015, MJ Acquisition Corporation, as the initial borrower, entered into the Concentra credit facilities. Concentra, as the surviving entity of the merger between MJ Acquisition Corporation and Concentra, became the borrower under the Concentra credit facilities on June 1, 2015. The Concentra credit facilities consist of the Concentra first lien credit agreement and the Concentra second lien credit agreement. The Concentra first lien credit agreement provides for $500.0 million in first lien loans composed of a $450.0 million, seven-year term loan and a $50.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility. The $450.0 million Concentra first lien term loan was issued with a discount of $1.1 million resulting in proceeds of $448.9 million. The Concentra second lien credit agreement (as defined below) provides for a $200.0 million eight-year second lien term loan. The $200.0 million Concentra second lien term loan (as defined below) was issued with a discount of $2.0 million resulting in proceeds of $198.0 million.

New Specialty Hospital Start-up Operating Expenses

        Select is developing several new specialty hospitals resulting in start-up costs which have the effect of increasing our operating expenses. Start-up Adjusted EBITDA losses were $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, Concentra acquisition costs, equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries, and gain on sale of equity investment. See the section titled "Results of Operations" for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Gain on Sale of Equity Investment

        For the year ended December 31, 2015, we had a gain on the sale of an equity investment of $29.6 million. The equity investment was a start-up company investment in which we owned a non-controlling interest.

Subsequent Events

        On January 25, 2016, Select announced that it has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 22, 2016, with Grip Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Select, Physiotherapy, and KHR Physio, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the Holder Representative (as defined in the merger agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Select will acquire Physiotherapy for $400.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement, through the merger of Grip Merger Sub, Inc. with and into Physiotherapy, with Physiotherapy continuing as the surviving corporation under its present name as a wholly owned subsidiary of Select (the "Transaction").

        Select expects to finance the transaction and related expenses using a combination of cash on hand and the proceeds from a proposed $400.0 million senior secured incremental term facility under its existing credit facilities, for which JP Morgan Chase, N.A. has provided Select with a debt commitment letter. Should the merger agreement be terminated by Physiotherapy under specified conditions, including circumstances where Select is required to close the transaction under the merger agreement and there is a failure of the debt financing to be funded in accordance with its terms, a reverse termination fee of $24.0 million would be payable by Select to Physiotherapy. The transaction, which is expected to close in the first half of 2016, is subject to a number of closing conditions.

Summary Financial Results

Year Ended December 31, 2015

        For the year ended December 31, 2015, our net operating revenues increased 22.1% to $3,742.7 million compared to $3,065.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, principally due to the addition of our Concentra segment and increases in net operating revenues in our specialty hospitals segment. We had income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $274.8 million, compared to $284.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in our income from operations was principally due to increases in operating expenses at our specialty hospitals as further discussed below under "Results of Operations". Our Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $399.2 million, compared to $363.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and our Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.7% for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to 11.9% for the year ended December 31, 2014. See the section titled "Results of Operations" for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA. Our increase in Adjusted EBITDA was principally due to the effects of the Concentra acquisition, offset in part by increases in our specialty hospitals segment operating expenses discussed above. The decrease in our Adjusted EBITDA margin is principally due to a decline in Adjusted EBITDA from our specialty hospitals segment caused by the increases in operating expenses discussed above, and the fact that incremental Adjusted EBITDA contributed by Concentra has a lower Adjusted EBITDA margin than our overall Adjusted EBITDA margin for the year ended December 31, 2014, thus reducing the overall Adjusted EBITDA margin.

        Net income attributable to Holdings was $130.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $120.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in Holdings' net income was principally due to increases in our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries and a gain on the sale of an equity investment, offset in part by the decrease in our income from operations as discussed above and increases in interest expense associated with Concentra indebtedness.

        Cash flow from operations for Holdings provided $208.4 million and $170.6 million of cash for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Year Ended December 31, 2014

        For the year ended December 31, 2014, our net operating revenues increased 3.0% to $3,065.0 million compared to $2,975.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. We experienced increases in net operating revenues in both our specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation segments. We had income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $284.5 million, compared to $301.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $363.9 million, compared to $372.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and our Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.9% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 12.5% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in our income from operations, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin is principally due to increases in our operating expenses, primarily related to incremental start-up costs associated with new and recently expanded specialty hospitals, the Sequestration Reduction and the MPPR Reduction.

        Net income attributable to Holdings was $120.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $114.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in Holdings' net income resulted principally from lower losses related to early retirement of debt, lower interest expense, and increases in equity earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, offset in part by a decrease in our income from operations as discussed above.

        Cash flow from operations for Holdings provided $170.6 million and $192.5 million of cash for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Regulatory Changes

        The Medicare program reimburses us for services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries, which are generally persons age 65 and older, those who are chronically disabled, and those suffering from end stage renal disease. Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program represented approximately 46%, 45% and 37% of our consolidated net operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

        The Medicare program reimburses our LTCHs, IRFs and outpatient rehabilitation providers, using different payment methodologies. Those payment methodologies are complex and are described elsewhere in this report under "Business—Government Regulations." The following is a summary of some of the more significant healthcare regulatory changes that have affected our financial performance in the periods covered by this report or are likely to affect our financial performance and financial condition in the future.

        The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, enacted on April 16, 2015, reforms Medicare payment policy for services paid under the Medicare physician fee schedule, including our outpatient rehabilitation services. The law repeals the SGR formula effective January 1, 2015, and establishes a new payment framework consisting of specified updates to the Medicare physician fee schedule, a new MIPS, and incentives for participation in APMs. To finance these provisions, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 reduces market basket updates for post-acute care providers, including LTCHs and IRFs, among other Medicare payment cuts. As noted below, the law sets the annual prospective payment system update for fiscal year 2018 at 1% for LTCHs and IRFs, as well as skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, and hospices. The law also extends the exceptions process for outpatient therapy caps through December 31, 2017.

        The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, enacted on November 2, 2015, extends the 2% reductions to Medicare payments through fiscal year 2025. This reduction was originally enacted in the BCA of 2011,

which required automatic reductions in federal spending by approximately $1.2 trillion split evenly between domestic and defense spending. Payments to Medicare providers are subject to these automatic spending reductions, subject to a 2% cap. On April 1, 2013 a 2% reduction to Medicare payments was implemented. The BBA of 2013 extended the automatic spending reductions through 2023 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 further extended the automatic spending reductions through fiscal year 2025.

Medicare Reimbursement of LTCH Services

        There have been significant regulatory changes affecting LTCHs that have affected our net operating revenues and, in some cases, caused us to change our operating models and strategies. We have been subject to regulatory changes that occur through the rulemaking procedures of CMS. All Medicare payments to our LTCHs are made in accordance with LTCH-PPS. Proposed rules specifically related to LTCHs are generally published in May, finalized in August and effective on October 1st of each year.

        The following is a summary of significant changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for LTCHs which have affected our results of operations, as well as the policies and payment rates for fiscal year 2016 that affect our patient discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015.

        Fiscal Year 2014.    On August 19, 2013, CMS published the final rule updating the policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2014 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014). The standard federal rate was set at $40,607, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during the period from December 29, 2012 through September 30, 2013 of $40,398. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2014 included a market basket increase of 2.5%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, less a reduction of 0.3% mandated by the ACA, and less a budget neutrality adjustment of 1.266%. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases was set at $13,314, which was a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2013 fiscal year of $15,408.

        Fiscal Year 2015.    On August 22, 2014, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2015 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015). The standard federal rate was set at $41,044, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2014 of $40,607. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2015 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, less a reduction of 0.2% mandated by the ACA, and less a budget neutrality adjustment of 1.266%. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases was set at $14,972, which was an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2014 fiscal year of $13,314.

        Fiscal Year 2016.    On August 17, 2015, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2016 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016). The standard federal rate is set at $41,763, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2015 of $41,044. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2016 includes a market basket increase of 2.4%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, and less a reduction of 0.2% mandated by the ACA. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS is set at $16,423, which is an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2015 fiscal year of $14,972. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate described below is set at $22,544.

Patient Criteria

        The BBA of 2013, enacted December 26, 2013, establishes new payment limits for Medicare patients discharged from an LTCH who do not meet specified criteria. Specifically, for Medicare patients discharged in cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015, LTCHs will be reimbursed

64

Table of Contents

under LTCH-PPS only if, immediately preceding the patient's LTCH admission, the patient was discharged from a general acute care hospital paid under IPPS and the patient's stay included at least three days in an intensive care unit (ICU) or coronary care unit (CCU) or the patient is assigned to an MS-LTC-DRG for cases receiving at least 96 hours of ventilator services in the LTCH. In addition, to be paid under LTCH-PPS the patient's discharge from the LTCH may not include a principal diagnosis relating to psychiatric or rehabilitation services. For any Medicare patient who does not meet the new criteria, the LTCH will be paid a lower "site-neutral" payment rate, which will be the lower of (1) the IPPS comparable per-diem payment rate capped at the MS-DRG including any outlier payments, or (2) 100 percent of the estimated costs for services.

        The BBA of 2013 provides for a transition to the site-neutral payment rate for those patients not paid under LTCH-PPS. During the transition period (cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2017), a blended rate will be paid for Medicare patients not meeting the new criteria. The blended rate will comprise half the site-neutral payment rate and half the LTCH-PPS payment rate. For discharges in cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2017, only the site-neutral payment rate will apply for Medicare patients not meeting the new criteria.

        In addition, for cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019, qualifying discharges from an LTCH will continue to be paid at the LTCH-PPS payment rate, unless the number of discharges for which payment is made under the site-neutral payment rate is greater than 50% of the total number of discharges from the LTCH. If the number of discharges for which payment is made under the site-neutral payment rate is greater than 50%, then beginning in the next cost reporting period all discharges from the LTCH will be reimbursed at the site-neutral payment rate. The BBA of 2013 requires CMS to establish a process for an LTCH subject to the site-neutral payment rate to re-qualify for payment under LTCH-PPS.

        Payment adjustments, including the interrupted stay policy and the 25 Percent Rule (discussed below), apply to LTCH discharges regardless of whether the case is paid at the LTCH-PPS payment rate or the site-neutral payment rate. However, short stay outlier payment adjustments do not apply to cases paid at the site-neutral payment rate. Beginning with fiscal year 2016, CMS will calculate the annual recalibration of the MS-LTC-DRG relative payment weighting factors using only data from LTCH discharges that meet the criteria for exclusion from the site-neutral payment rate. In addition, beginning in fiscal year 2016, CMS will apply the IPPS fixed-loss amount to site-neutral cases, rather than the LTCH PPS fixed-loss amount. For fiscal year 2016, the IPPS fixed-loss amount is set at $22,544 and the LTCH-PPS fixed-loss amount is estimated to be $16,423. CMS will calculate the LTCH-PPS fixed-loss amount using only data from cases paid at the LTCH-PPS payment rate, excluding cases paid at the site-neutral rate.

        Each of our LTCHs has their own unique annual cost reporting period. As a result, the new payment limits will become effective for each of our LTCHs at different points in time over a twelve month period that began on October 1, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, 16 of our LTCHs have cost reporting periods that began during the fourth quarter of 2015 and 37, 19 and 36 of our LTCHs have cost reporting periods commencing during the first quarter, second quarter and third quarters of 2016, respectively.

Medicare Market Basket Adjustments

        The ACA instituted a market basket payment adjustment to LTCHs. In fiscal years 2017 through 2019, the market basket update will be reduced by 0.75%. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 sets the annual update for fiscal year 2018 at 1% after taking into account the market basket payment reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The ACA specifically allows these market basket reductions to result in a less than 0% payment update and payment rates that are less than the prior year.

25 Percent Rule

        The "25 Percent Rule" is a downward payment adjustment that applies if the percentage of Medicare patients discharged from LTCHs who were admitted from a referring hospital (regardless of whether the LTCH or LTCH satellite is co-located with the referring hospital) exceeds the applicable percentage admissions threshold during a particular cost reporting period. As more full described under "business—Government Regulations," various legislation has limited or deferred the full application of the 25 Percent Rule. These regulatory changes will have an adverse financial impact on the net operating revenues and profitability of many of our LTCHs for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2016.

Moratorium on New LTCHs, LTCH Satellite Facilities and LTCH Beds

        The BBA of 2013, as amended by the PAMA, reinstated a moratorium on the establishment and classification of new LTCHs or LTCH satellite facilities, and on the increase of LTCH beds in existing LTCHs or satellite facilities beginning April 1, 2014 through September 30, 2017 with certain exceptions to the moratorium that are applicable to the establishment and classification of new LTCHs or LTCH satellite facilities currently under development.

Medicare Reimbursement of Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Services

        The following is a summary of significant changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for IRFs which have affected our results of operations during the periods presented in this report, as well as the policies and payment rates for fiscal year 2016 that affect our patient discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015.

        Fiscal Year 2014.    On August 6, 2013, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2014 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2014 was $14,846, which was an increase from the fiscal year 2013 standard payment conversion factor of $14,343. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2014 included a market basket increase of 2.6%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, and less a reduction of 0.3% mandated by the ACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2014 to $9,272 from $10,466 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2013.

        Fiscal Year 2015.    On August 6, 2014, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2015 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2015 was $15,198, which was an increase from the fiscal year 2014 standard payment conversion factor of $14,846. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2015 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, and less a reduction of 0.2% mandated by the ACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2015 to $8,848 from $9,272 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2014.

        Fiscal Year 2016.    On August 6, 2015, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2016 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2016 is set at $15,478, which is an increase from the fiscal year 2015 standard payment conversion factor of $15,198. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2016 includes a market basket increase of 2.4%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, and less a reduction of 0.2% mandated by the ACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2016 to $8,658 from $8,848 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2015.

Medicare Market Basket Adjustments

        The ACA instituted a market basket payment adjustment for IRFs. In fiscal years 2017 through 2019, the market basket update will be reduced by 0.75%. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 sets the annual update for fiscal year 2018 at 1% after taking into account the market basket payment reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The ACA specifically allows these market basket reductions to result in less than a 0% payment update and payment rates that are less than the prior year.

Medicare Reimbursement of Outpatient Rehabilitation Services

        The Medicare program reimburses outpatient rehabilitation providers based on the Medicare physician fee schedule. Historically, the Medicare physician fee schedule rates have updated annually based on the SGR formula. The SGR formula has resulted in automatic reductions in rates every year since 2002; however, for each year through March 31, 2015 CMS or Congress has taken action to prevent the SGR formula reductions. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 repeals the SGR formula effective for services provided on or after January 1, 2015, and establishes a new payment framework consisting of specified updates to the Medicare physician fee schedule, a new MIPS, and APMs. For services provided between January 1, 2015 and June 30, 2015, a 0% payment update was applied to the Medicare physician fee schedule payment rates. For services provided between July 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015, a 0.5% update was applied to the fee schedule payment rates. For services provided in 2016 through 2019, a 0.5% update will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to MIPS adjustment beginning in 2019. For services provided in 2020 through 2025, a 0.0% percent update will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to MIPS and APM adjustments. Finally, in 2026 and subsequent years eligible professionals participating in APMs that meet certain criteria would receive annual updates of 0.75%, while all other professionals would receive annual updates of 0.25%.

        The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 requires that payments under the fee schedule be adjusted starting in 2019 based on performance in MIPS, which will consolidate the three existing incentive programs focused on quality, resource use, and meaningful use of electronic health records. The law requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish the MIPS requirements under which a provider's performance is assessed according to established performance standards and used to determine an adjustment factor that is then applied to the professional's payment for a year. Each year from 2019-2024 professionals who receive a significant share of their revenues through an APM (such as accountable care organizations or bundled payment arrangements) that involves risk of financial losses and a quality measurement component will receive a 5% bonus. The bonus payment for APM participation is intended to encourage participation and testing of new APMs and promotes the alignment of incentives across payors. The specifics of the MIPS and APM adjustments beginning in 2019 and 2020, respectively, will be subject to future notice and comment rule-making. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we received approximately 11% of our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues from Medicare.

Development of New Specialty Hospitals and Clinics

        In addition to the growth of our business through the acquisition and integration of other businesses, we have also grown our business by developing specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation facilities. Since our inception in 1997 through December 31, 2015, we have internally developed 73 specialty hospitals and 434 outpatient rehabilitation clinics. The BBA of 2013, as amended by the PAMA, reinstated a moratorium on the establishment and classification of new LTCHs, LTCH satellite facilities and LTCH beds in existing LTCHs or satellite facilities beginning April 1, 2014 through September 30, 2017, with certain exceptions to the moratorium that are applicable to the establishment and classification of new LTCHs or LTCH satellite facilities currently under development. We continue to evaluate opportunities to develop new joint venture relationships with significant health systems and from time to time we may also develop new inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics

in the local areas that we currently serve where we can benefit from existing referral relationships and brand awareness to produce incremental growth.

Critical Accounting Matters

Sources of Revenue

        Our net operating revenues are derived from a number of sources, including commercial, managed care, private and governmental payors. Our net operating revenues include amounts estimated by management to be reimbursable from each of the applicable payors and the federal Medicare program. Amounts we receive for treatment of patients are generally less than the standard billing rates. We account for the differences between the estimated reimbursement rates and the standard billing rates as contractual adjustments, which we deduct from gross revenues to arrive at net operating revenues.

        Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program from all segments represented approximately 36%, 45% and 46% of net operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Approximately 55%, 57% and 59% of our specialty hospital revenues for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were received from the Medicare program.

        Most of our specialty hospitals receive bi-weekly periodic interim payments from Medicare instead of being paid on an individual claim basis. Under a periodic interim payment methodology, Medicare estimates a hospital's claim volume based on historical trends and makes bi-weekly interim payments to us based on these estimates. Generally, twice a year per hospital, Medicare reconciles the differences between the actual claim data and the estimated payments. To the extent our actual hospital's experience is different from the historical trends used by Medicare to develop the estimate, the periodic interim payments will result in our being either temporarily over-paid or under-paid for our Medicare claims. At each balance sheet date, we record any aggregate under-payment as an account receivable or any aggregate over-payment as a payable to third-party payors on our balance sheet. The timing of when we receive our bi-weekly periodic interim payments, in relation to our balance sheet date, has an impact on our accounts receivable balance and our days sales outstanding as of the end of any reporting period.

Contractual Adjustments

        Net operating revenues include amounts estimated by us to be reimbursable by Medicare and Medicaid under prospective payment systems and provisions of cost-reimbursement and other payment methods. In addition, we are reimbursed by non-governmental payors using a variety of payment methodologies. Amounts we receive for treatment of patients covered by these programs are generally less than the standard billing rates. Contractual allowances are calculated and recorded through our internally developed systems. In our specialty hospitals segment our billing system automatically calculates estimated Medicare reimbursement and associated contractual allowances. For non-governmental payors in our specialty hospitals segment, we either manually calculate the contractual allowance for each patient based upon the contractual provisions associated with the specific payor or where we have a relatively homogeneous patient population, we monitor individual payors' historical closed paid claims data and apply those payment rates to the existing patient population. The net payments are converted into per diem rates. The per diem rates are applied to unpaid patient days to determine the expected payment and a contractual adjustment is recorded to adjust the recorded amount to agree with the expected payment. Quarterly, we update our analysis of historical closed paid claims. In our outpatient rehabilitation and Concentra segments, we perform provision testing, using internally developed systems, whereby we monitor a payors' historical paid claims data and compare it against the associated gross charges. This difference is determined as a percentage of gross charges and is applied against gross billing revenue to determine the contractual allowances for the period. Additionally, these contractual percentages are applied against the gross receivables on the balance sheet to determine that adequate contractual reserves are maintained for the gross accounts receivables reported on the balance sheet. We account for any

difference as additional contractual adjustments to gross revenues to arrive at net operating revenues in the period that the difference is determined. We believe the processes described above and used in recording our contractual adjustments have resulted in reasonable estimates determined on a consistent basis.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

        Substantially all of our accounts receivable are related to providing healthcare services to patients. Collection of these accounts receivable is our primary source of cash and is critical to our financial performance. Our primary collection risks relate to non-governmental payors who insure these patients, and deductibles, co-payments and self-insured amounts owed by the patient. Deductibles, co-payments and self-insured amounts are an immaterial portion of our net accounts receivable balance. At December 31, 2015, deductibles, co-payments and self-insured amounts owed by patients accounted for approximately 1.2% of our net accounts receivable balance before doubtful accounts. Our general policy is to verify insurance coverage prior to the date of admission for a patient admitted to our specialty hospitals, or in the case of our outpatient rehabilitation clinics and Concentra medical centers, we verify insurance coverage prior to their first visit. Our estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by providing a reserve allowance based upon the age of an account balance. This method is based on our historical cash collections experience and is periodically assessed in light of any changes to such experience. Collections are impacted by the effectiveness of our collection efforts with non-governmental payors and regulatory or administrative disruptions with the fiscal intermediaries that pay our governmental receivables.

        We estimate bad debts for total accounts receivable within each of our operating units. We believe our policies have resulted in reasonable estimates determined on a consistent basis. We have historically collected substantially all of our third-party insured receivables (net of contractual allowances) which include receivables from governmental agencies. Historically, there has not been a material difference between our bad debt allowances and the ultimate historical collection rates on accounts receivable. We review our overall reserve adequacy by monitoring historical cash collections as a percentage of net revenue less the provision for bad debts. Uncollected accounts are charged against the reserve when they are turned over to an outside collection agency, or when management determines that the balance is uncollectible, whichever occurs first.

        The following table is an aging of our accounts receivable (after allowances for contractual adjustments but before doubtful accounts) as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Insurance

        Under a number of our insurance programs, which include our employee health insurance program and certain components under our property and casualty insurance program, we are liable for a portion of our losses. In these cases we accrue for our losses under an occurrence based principle whereby we estimate the losses that will be incurred by us in a given accounting period and accrue that estimated liability. We utilize actuarial methods in estimating the losses. We monitor these programs quarterly and revise our estimates as necessary to take into account additional information. At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded a liability of $157.4 million and $101.9 million, respectively, for our estimated losses under these insurance programs.

Related Party Transactions

        We are party to various rental and other agreements with companies affiliated with us through common ownership. Our payments to these related parties amounted to $4.7 million, $4.4 million and $4.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our future commitments are related to commercial office space we lease for our corporate headquarters in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. These future commitments as of December 31, 2015 amount to $31.0 million through 2023. These transactions and commitments are described more fully in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included herein. Our practice is that any such transaction must receive the prior approval of both the audit and compliance committee of the board of directors and a majority of non-interested members of the board of directors. It is our practice that an independent third-party appraisal supporting the amount of rent for such leased space is obtained prior to approving the related party lease of office space.

        During the year ended December 31, 2014, shares were repurchased from Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe IX, L.P. and WCAS Capital Partners IV, L.P. pursuant to stock purchase agreements dated February 26, 2014 and May 5, 2014. Two of the Company's directors are affiliated with these entities.

        We also provide contracted services, principally employee leasing services and charge management fees to related parties affiliated through our equity investments. Net operating revenues generated from the provision of contracted services and management fees amounted to $146.0 million, $129.3 million and $110.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        On February 24, 2005, EGL Acquisition Corp., a subsidiary of Holdings, was merged with and into Select, with Select continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. We refer to the merger and the related transactions collectively as the "Merger." As a result of the Merger, the majority of Select's assets and liabilities were adjusted to their fair value as of February 25, 2005. The excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of Select's tangible and identifiable intangible assets was allocated to goodwill. Additionally, a portion of the equity related to our continuing stockholders was recorded at the stockholder's predecessor basis and a corresponding portion of the fair value of the acquired assets was reduced accordingly.

        Goodwill and certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to periodic impairment evaluations. For purposes of goodwill impairment assessment, we have defined our reporting units as specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, contract therapy, and Concentra. Goodwill has been allocated among reporting units based on the relative fair value of those divisions when the Merger occurred in 2005 and based on subsequent acquisitions. Our most recent impairment assessment was completed during the fourth quarter of 2015, which indicated that there was no impairment with respect to goodwill or other recorded intangible assets. We have recorded total goodwill and other intangible assets of $2.6 billion, of which goodwill and other intangible assets of $1.4 billion relates to our specialty hospitals reporting unit, $869.2 billion relates to the Concentra reporting unit, $337.0 million relates to our outpatient clinic reporting unit, and $2.3 million relates to our contract therapy reporting unit. In performing periodic impairment tests, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to the carrying value, including goodwill and other intangible assets. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment condition exists, which results in an impairment loss equal to the excess carrying value. Impairment tests are required to be conducted at least annually, or when events or conditions occur that might suggest a possible impairment. These events or conditions include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in the business environment, regulatory environment or legal factors; a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of such losses or a projection of continuing losses; or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. The occurrence of one of these events or conditions could significantly impact an impairment assessment, necessitating an impairment charge and adversely affecting our results of operations.

        Regulatory changes governing the provision of our services in our specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation, and Concentra segments and development activities can have both positive and negative effects on our results of operations and future cash flows which impact the fair value of our reporting units. The excess fair value, as a percentage of carrying value, of our specialty hospitals reporting unit was approximately 39.6%, 37.6% and 10.4% as of October 1, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair value of our outpatient rehabilitation clinics and our contract therapy reporting units significantly exceeded the carrying values of each of those corresponding reporting units as of October 1, 2015, 2014 and 2013. The fair value of our Concentra reporting unit approximated the carrying value as of October 1, 2015.

        To determine the fair value of our reporting units, we use a discounted cash flow approach. Included in the discounted cash flow are assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, internal development of specialty hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, and Concentra medical centers, future Adjusted EBITDA margin estimates, future general and administrative expenses and the weighted average cost of capital for our industry. We also must estimate residual values at the end of the forecast period and future capital expenditure requirements. Each of these assumptions requires us to use our knowledge of (1) our industry, (2) our recent transactions, and (3) reasonable performance expectations for our operations. If any one of

71

Table of Contents

the above assumptions changes or fails to materialize, the resulting decline in our estimated fair value could result in a material impairment charge to the goodwill associated with any one of the reporting units. We have consistently applied the discounted cash flow approach methodology to determine the fair value of each of our reporting units at each annual impairment test dated October 1, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

Realization of Deferred Tax Assets

        Deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are also required to be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we estimate our income taxes based on our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. We also recognize as deferred tax assets the future tax benefits from net operating loss carry forwards. We evaluate the realizability of these deferred tax assets by assessing their valuation allowances and by adjusting the amount of such allowances, if necessary. Among the factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are our projections of future taxable income streams, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, and the impact of tax planning strategies that could be implemented to avoid the potential loss of future tax benefits. However, changes in tax codes, statutory tax rates or future taxable income levels could materially impact our valuation of tax accruals and assets and could cause our provision for income taxes to vary significantly from period to period.

        At December 31, 2015, we had deferred tax liabilities in excess of deferred tax assets of approximately $190.1 million for both Holdings and Select principally due to depreciation deductions that have been accelerated for tax purposes. This amount includes approximately $7.6 million of valuation reserves related primarily to state net operating losses.

Uncertain Tax Positions

        We record and review quarterly our uncertain tax positions. Reserves for uncertain tax positions are established for exposure items related to various federal and state tax matters. Income tax reserves are recorded when an exposure is identified and when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained and the amount of the liability can be estimated. While we believe that our reserves for uncertain tax positions are adequate, the settlement of any such exposures at amounts that differ from current reserves may require us to materially increase or decrease our reserves for uncertain tax positions.

Stock Based Compensation

        We measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Our share-based compensation arrangements comprise both stock options and restricted share plans. We value employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation method that uses assumptions that relate to the expected volatility of our common stock, the expected dividend yield of our stock, the expected life of the options and the risk free interest rate. Such compensation amounts, if any, are recognized over the respective vesting periods or period of service of the option grant. We value restricted stock grants by using the closing market price of our stock on the date of grant.

Year Ended December 31, 2015 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2014

        In the following, we discuss our results of operations related to net operating revenues, operating expenses, Adjusted EBITDA, depreciation and amortization, income from operations, loss on early retirement of debt, equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, gain on sale of equity investment, interest expense, income taxes, and non-controlling interest, which, in each case, are the same for Holdings and Select.

Net Operating Revenues

        Our net operating revenues increased by $677.7 million to $3,742.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $3,065.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

        Specialty Hospitals.    Our specialty hospitals segment net operating revenues increased 4.5% to $2,346.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $2,244.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The segment experienced growth in its patient services revenues which resulted from increases in patient days and an increase in our net revenues per patient day. Patient days increased to 1,373,780 days for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to 1,340,506 days for the year ended December 31, 2014. The average net revenue per patient day increased to $1,569 for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $1,546 for the year ended December 31, 2014, due to increases in both our Medicare and non-Medicare net revenue per patient day. The occupancy percentage was 72% for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to 70% for the year ended December 31, 2014.

        Outpatient Rehabilitation.    Our outpatient rehabilitation segment net operating revenues decreased to $810.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $819.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. This decrease resulted from a reduction in net operating revenues at our contract therapy business, offset in part by increases in net operating revenues at our outpatient rehabilitation clinics. The net operating revenues generated by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased 5.3% compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. This growth was principally due to a 5.0% increase in visits to 5,218,532 at our owned clinics. Net revenue per visit in our owned outpatient rehabilitation clinics was $103 for both the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The net operating revenues generated by our contract therapy business for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased $42.3 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2014, which principally resulted from contract terminations.

Table of Contents

        Concentra Segment.    For the period from June 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, net operating revenues were $585.2 million, visits were 4,436,977 in the medical centers, and net revenue per visit was $114.

Operating Expenses

        Our operating expenses include our cost of services, general and administrative expense and bad debt expense. Our operating expenses increased by $650.8 million to $3,363.0 million, or 89.9% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $2,712.2 million, or 88.5% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014, principally due to the acquisition of Concentra on June 1, 2015. Our cost of services, a major component of which is labor expense, was $3,211.5 million, or 85.8% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $2,582.3 million, or 84.2% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014. Approximately half of the increase in cost of services as a percent of net operating revenues resulted from the addition of Concentra which operated with a higher relative cost of services percentage to net operating revenues during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the relative cost of services percentage to net operating revenues experienced overall by Select in the year ended December 31, 2015. The other half of the increase occurred in our specialty hospitals segment and resulted principally from non-recurring increases in labor costs associated with several training initiatives, including training to prepare for the adoption of patient criteria and incremental costs resulting from a higher staff turnover rate for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to 2014. Facility rent expense, a component of cost of services, was $135.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $128.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. General and administrative expenses were $92.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $85.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and as a percentage of net operating revenues were 2.5% and 2.8% for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from Concentra acquisition costs of $4.7 million. Our bad debt expense was $59.4 million or 1.6% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $44.6 million or 1.5% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014. This is principally a result of higher relative bad debt expense in our specialty hospitals segment compared to the year ended December 31, 2014, and at Concentra.

Adjusted EBITDA

        Specialty Hospitals.    Adjusted EBITDA for our specialty hospitals decreased to $327.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $341.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the segment was 14.0% for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 15.2% for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for our specialty hospitals segment was attributable to increases in our cost of services and bad debt expense as discussed above under "Operating Expenses."

        Outpatient Rehabilitation.    Our Adjusted EBITDA for our outpatient rehabilitation segment increased 0.7% to $98.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $97.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the outpatient rehabilitation segment was 12.1% for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 11.9% for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Adjusted EBITDA in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics increased by $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for our outpatient rehabilitation clinics was principally the result of increases in net operating revenues as discussed above under "Net Operating Revenues." Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for our outpatient rehabilitation clinics was 13.8% for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 13.3% for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our contract therapy business experienced a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $6.8 million, compared to the year ended December 31, 2014, which principally resulted from contract terminations as discussed above under "Net Operating Revenues."

        Concentra Segment.    For the period June 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, Adjusted EBITDA was $48.3 million and the Adjusted EBITDA margin for the segment was 8.3%.

        Other.    The Adjusted EBITDA loss was $75.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $75.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Depreciation and Amortization

        Depreciation and amortization expense was $105.0 million, including $33.6 million in our Concentra segment, for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $68.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Income from Operations

        For the year ended December 31, 2015, we had income from operations of $274.8 million compared to $284.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in our income from operations resulted principally from increases in operating expenses at our specialty hospitals segment, as discussed above under "Operating Expenses," and was offset in part by the incremental contribution from of our Concentra segment since June 1, 2015.

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

        On March 4, 2014, we amended the Select term loans. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized a loss of $2.3 million for unamortized debt issuance costs, unamortized original issue discount and certain fees incurred related to the Select term loan modifications.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

        For the year ended December 31, 2015, we had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $16.8 million compared to equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries resulted from increased earnings associated with several of our inpatient rehabilitation joint ventures and improved financial results at the start-up companies in which we own a non-controlling interest.

Gain on Sale of Equity Investment

        For the year ended December 31, 2015, we had a gain on the sale of an equity investment of $29.6 million. The equity investment was a start-up company investment in which we owned a non-controlling interest.

Interest Expense

        Interest expense was $112.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $85.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in interest expense was principally due to increases in our indebtedness to finance the Concentra acquisition.

Income Taxes

        We recorded income tax expense of $72.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, which represented an effective tax rate of 34.8%. We recorded income tax expense of $75.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, which represented an effective tax rate of 37.1%. The decrease in the effective tax rate has resulted principally from the resolution of uncertain tax positions.

Non-Controlling Interests

        Non-controlling interests in consolidated earnings were $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. These amounts represent the minority owner's share of income and losses in consolidated entities, such as Concentra, in which our ownership is less than 100.0%. The decrease was principally caused by net losses in our Concentra segment for the year ended December 31, 2015, which offset positive net income from other consolidated entities.

Year Ended December 31, 2014 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2013

        In the following, we discuss our results of operations related to net operating revenues, operating expenses, Adjusted EBITDA, income from operations, equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, and non-controlling interest, which in each case, are the same for both Holdings and Select. In addition, we discuss separately for Holdings and Select changes related to loss on early retirement of debt, interest expense, and income taxes.

Net Operating Revenues

        Our net operating revenues increased by 3.0% to $3,065.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $2,975.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

        Specialty Hospitals.    Our specialty hospitals segment net operating revenues increased 2.1% to $2,244.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $2,198.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. We experienced growth in our net operating revenues primarily resulting from increases in our patient services revenues in our specialty hospitals and the expansion of contracted labor services provided to certain of our non-consolidated joint ventures. Our patient services revenues increased principally due to an increase in our average net revenue per patient day, offset in part by a decrease in patient days. Our average net revenue per patient day increased to $1,546 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1,514 for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily driven by an increase in our average Medicare net revenue per patient day. Our Medicare revenues per patient day increased despite a reduction in our Medicare net operating revenue due to the Sequestration Reduction of $28.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $22.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our patient days decreased 1.0% to 1,340,506 days for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to 1,353,847 days for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our occupancy percentage was 70% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 72% for the year ended December 31, 2013.

        Outpatient Rehabilitation.    Our outpatient rehabilitation segment net operating revenues increased 5.4% to $819.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $777.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase resulted from a growth in patient visits and the expansion of contracted management services in our outpatient rehabilitation clinic business and growth in our contract therapy business. The net operating revenues generated by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased 5.0% compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. Our growth was principally due to a 4.0% increase in visits to 4,970,724 at our owned clinics and additional contracted management service revenue at our managed clinics for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. Net revenue per visit in our owned outpatient rehabilitation clinics was $103 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $104 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The net operating revenues generated by our contract therapy business for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased 6.9% compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, which principally resulted from new contracts and expansion of services of existing contracts, which more than offset reductions from terminated contracts. Growth at our outpatient rehabilitation segment was offset in part by a reduction in our net operating revenues caused by the Sequestration Reduction of $1.8 million and the MPPR Reduction of $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to a Sequestration Reduction of $1.1 million and the MPPR Reduction of $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Operating Expenses

        Our operating expenses include our cost of services, general and administrative expense and bad debt expense. Our operating expenses increased by $102.4 million to $2,712.2 million, or 88.5% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $2,609.8 million, or 87.7% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our cost of services, a major component of which is labor expense, was $2,582.3 million, or 84.2% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $2,495.5 million, or 83.8% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. The principal causes of the increases in cost of services as a percentage of net operating revenues resulted from incremental start-up costs associated with new and recently expanded specialty hospitals and an increase in labor costs to provide contracted services to certain of our non-consolidated joint ventures. Facility rent expense, a component of cost of services, was $128.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $123.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. General and administrative expenses were $85.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $76.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and as a percentage of net operating revenues were 2.8% and 2.6% for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The growth in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net operating revenues resulted primarily from increased stock compensation expense and healthcare costs. Our bad debt expense was $44.6 million or 1.5% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $37.4 million or 1.3% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in bad debt expense occurred principally in our specialty hospitals segment.

Adjusted EBITDA

        Specialty Hospitals.    Adjusted EBITDA for our specialty hospitals segment decreased 3.4% to $341.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $353.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the segment was 15.2% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 16.1% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for our specialty hospitals segment was principally the result of incremental start-up costs of $14.5 million associated with new and recently expanded specialty hospitals, the Sequestration Reduction, as discussed above under "Net Operating Revenues," and an increase in bad debt expense, discussed above under "Operating Expenses."

        Outpatient Rehabilitation.    Our Adjusted EBITDA for our outpatient rehabilitation segment increased 8.1% to $97.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $90.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the outpatient rehabilitation segment was 11.9% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 11.6% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Adjusted EBITDA in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics increased by $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for our outpatient rehabilitation clinics was principally the result of our growth in net operating revenues as discussed above under "Net Operating Revenues." Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for our outpatient rehabilitation clinics was 13.3% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 13.0% for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our contract therapy business experienced an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, which principally resulted from revenue growth, as discussed above under "Net Operating Revenues."

        Other.    The Adjusted EBITDA loss was $75.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $71.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Income from Operations

        For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had income from operations of $284.5 million compared to $301.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in our income from operations

resulted principally from incremental start-up costs associated with new and recently expanded specialty hospitals, the Sequestration Reduction and MPPR Reduction, as discussed above under "Net Operating Revenues," and an increase in bad debt expense, discussed above under "Operating Expenses."

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

        Select Medical Corporation.    On March 4, 2014, we amended the Select term loans. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized a loss of $2.3 million for unamortized debt issuance costs, unamortized original issue discount and certain fees incurred related to the Select term loan modifications.

        On May 28, 2013, we repaid a portion of Select's original term loan and series A term loan under the Select credit facilities, and on June 3, 2013, we amended the Select credit facilities. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized a loss of $17.3 million for unamortized debt issuance costs, unamortized original issue discount and certain debt issuance costs associated with these refinancing activities.

        On March 22, 2013, we redeemed Select's 7⁵/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized a loss on early retirement of debt of $0.5 million for unamortized debt issuance costs associated with Select's redemption of its 7⁵/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015.

        Select Medical Holdings Corporation.    On March 4, 2014, we amended Select's term loans under the Select credit facilities. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized a loss of $2.3 million for unamortized debt issuance costs, unamortized original issue discount and certain fees incurred related to the Select term loan modifications.

        On May 28, 2013, we repaid a portion of Select's original term loan and series A term loan under the Select credit facilities, and on June 3, 2013, we amended the Select credit facilities. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized a loss of $17.3 million for unamortized debt issuance costs, unamortized original issue discount and certain debt issuance costs associated with these refinancing activities.

        On March 22, 2013, we redeemed Select's 7⁵/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 and redeemed Holdings' senior floating rate notes due 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized a loss on early retirement of debt of $1.5 million for unamortized debt issuance costs of which approximately $0.5 million was associated with Select's redemption of its 7⁵/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 and approximately $1.0 million was associated with Holdings' redemption of its senior floating rate notes due 2015.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

        For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $7.0 million compared to equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The principal increase in our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries resulted from the earnings associated with several of our inpatient rehabilitation joint ventures in which we own a non-controlling interest.

Interest Expense

        Select Medical Corporation.    Interest expense was $85.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $85.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in interest expense was principally due to increases in our indebtedness.

        Select Medical Holdings Corporation.    Interest expense was $85.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $87.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in interest expense was principally due to lower interest rates on borrowings during year ended December 31, 2014.

Income Taxes

        Select Medical Corporation.    We recorded income tax expense of $75.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 37.1%. We recorded income tax expense of $76.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 37.8%. Select is part of the consolidated federal tax return for Holdings. We allocate income taxes between Select and Holdings for purposes of financial statement presentation. Because Holdings is a passive investment company incorporated in Delaware, it does not incur any state income tax expense or benefit on its specific income or loss and, as such, receives a tax allocation equal to the federal statutory rate of 35% on its specific income or loss. Based upon the relative size of Holdings' income or loss, this can cause the effective tax rate for Select to differ from the effective tax rate for the consolidated company.

        Select Medical Holdings Corporation.    We recorded income tax expense of $75.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, which represented an effective tax rate of 37.1%. We recorded income tax expense of $74.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, which represented an effective tax rate of 37.8%. The decrease in the effective tax rate has resulted principally from a decrease in our state effective tax rate that has resulted from a lower proportion of our income being generated in states with higher tax rates, lower state tax rates in certain states, a decrease in non-deductible expenses and the favorable effect of IRS settlements.

Non-Controlling Interests

        Non-controlling interests in consolidated earnings were $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. These amounts represent the minority owner's share of income and losses for these consolidated entities.

Table of Contents

December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 is principally due to the addition of Concentra.

        Operating activities for Holdings and Select provided $170.6 million of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in operating cash flows for both Holdings and Select for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 is principally due to reductions in our income from operations as discussed above under "Year Ended December 31, 2014 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2013—Income from Operations" and decrease in the turnover of our accounts receivable.

        Our days sales outstanding were 53 days at December 31, 2015, 53 days at December 31, 2014, and 48 days at December 31, 2013. Our days sales outstanding will fluctuate based upon variability in our collection cycles. Our days sales outstanding at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 all fall within our normal range for accounts receivable turnover.

        The operating cash flow of Select exceeds the operating cash flow of Holdings by $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The difference relates to interest payments on Holdings' indebtedness, which indebtedness was repaid in 2013.

        Investing activities used $1,211.8 million, $101.1 million and $107.3 million of cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the principal use of cash related to the Concentra acquisition costs of $1,047.2 million and $182.6 million for purchases of property and equipment, offset in part by the proceeds from the sale of an equity investment. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the principal use of cash was for purchases of property and equipment of $95.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the principal use of cash was for purchases of property and equipment of $73.7 million and equity investments in unconsolidated businesses of $34.9 million.

        Financing activities provided $1,014.4 million of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2015. Cash was principally provided from $235.0 million of net borrowings under the Select revolving facility, $5.0 million of net borrowings under the Concentra revolving facility, $646.9 million borrowed under the Concentra term loans, and $217.1 million attributable to non-consolidating interests in Group Holdings. The principal uses of cash for financing activities were $26.9 million mandatory prepayment of term loans under the Select credit facilities, $23.3 million for Concentra's debt issuance costs, $13.6 million for common stock repurchases and $13.1 million for dividend payments to common stockholders.

        Financing activities used $70.5 million of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2014. Cash was principally used by a $34.0 million mandatory prepayment of term loans under the Select credit facilities, $10.0 million for purchases of non-controlling interests and $184.1 million of dividends paid to Holdings in the aggregate that were used to repurchase shares of common stock and pay dividends to common stockholders, offset in part by $40.0 million in net borrowings under the Select revolving facility and $111.7 million from the issuance of additional 6.375% senior notes.

        Financing activities used $126.6 million of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2013. The primary financing activities were associated with a $600.0 million 6.375% senior notes offering. The proceeds of this senior notes offering were used to repay $587.0 million of Select's term loans and fund certain transaction costs amounting to $14.7 million. In addition, $298.5 million was provided through the issuance of the Select term loans which were used to pay dividends to Holdings to fund the redemption of $167.3 million principal amount of Holdings' senior floating rate notes and pay $4.2 million of transaction costs related to the financing transactions. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2013, Select paid dividends to Holdings to fund $42.0 million of dividends paid to common stockholders, $11.8 million to fund Holdings' repurchase of common stock and $5.6 million to fund interest payments on Holdings' debt. Select also made net repayments on the Select revolving facility of $110.0 million.

        The difference in cash flows used in financing activities of Holdings compared to Select of $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 relates to dividends paid by Select to Holdings to service Holdings' interest obligations related to its indebtedness.

Capital Resources

        Working capital—We had net working capital of $11.5 million at December 31, 2015 compared to net working capital of $133.2 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease in net working capital is primarily due to the December 20, 2016 maturity of the portion of Select's D term loan that were not extended pursuant to the December 11, 2015 amendment.

        Select credit facilities—On March 4, 2015, Select made a principal prepayment of $26.9 million associated with the Select series D term loan and Select series E term loan (collectively, the "Select term loans") in accordance with the provision in the Select credit facilities that requires mandatory prepayments of the Select term loans as a result of annual excess cash flow as defined in the Select credit facilities.

        On May 20, 2015, Select entered into an additional credit extension amendment of its revolving credit facility (the "Select revolving facility" and together with the Select term loans, the "Select credit facilities"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the additional credit extension amendment, the lenders named therein committed an additional $100.0 million in incremental revolving commitments that mature on March 1, 2018. All other material terms and conditions applicable to the Select revolving facility are applicable to incremental revolving commitments created under the additional credit extension amendment.

        On December 11, 2015, Select amended the Select credit facilities in order to, among other things: (i) convert $56.2 million of its series D term loan into series E term loan, which have a maturity date of June 1, 2018; (ii) increase the interest rate payable on the series E term loan from Adjusted LIBO plus 2.75% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO rate floor of 1.00%), or Alternative Base Rate plus 1.75%, to Adjusted LIBO plus 4.00% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO rate floor of 1.00%), or Alternative Base Rate plus 3.00%; (iii) beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2015, increase the quarterly compliance threshold set forth in the leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant to a level of 5.75 to 1.00 from 5.00 to 1.00; (iv) increase the capacity for incremental extensions of credit to $450.0 million; and (v) amend the definition of "Consolidated EBITDA" to add back certain specialty hospital start-up losses.

        At December 31, 2015, Select had outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities of $753.3 million of Select term loans (excluding unamortized original issue discounts of $2.8 million) and borrowings of $295.0 million (excluding letters of credit) under the Select revolving facility. Select had $116.1 million of availability under the Select revolving facility (after giving effect to $38.9 million of outstanding letters of credit) at December 31, 2015.

        The Select credit facilities require Select to maintain certain leverage ratios (as defined in the Select credit facilities). For the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2015, Select was required to maintain its leverage ratio (its ratio of total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA) at less than 5.75 to 1.00. Select's leverage ratio was 4.78 to 1.00 as of December 31, 2015. Additionally, the Select credit facilities will require a prepayment of borrowings of 50% of excess cash flow, which will result in a prepayment of approximately $10.2 million. Select expects to have the borrowing capacity and intends to use borrowings under its revolving facility to make the required prepayment during the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

        Concentra credit facilities—MJ Acquisition Corporation used borrowings under the Concentra credit facilities to pay a portion of the purchase price for the stock of Concentra. While this debt is non-recourse to Select, it is included in Select's consolidated financial statements.

        Concentra Transaction—On June 1, 2015, MJ Acquisition Corporation, as the initial borrower, entered into the Concentra first lien credit agreement (the "Concentra first lien credit agreement"). Concentra, as the surviving entity of the merger between MJ Acquisition Corporation and Concentra, became the borrower under the Concentra first lien credit agreement on June 1, 2015. The Concentra first lien credit agreement provides for $500.0 million in first lien loans comprised of a $450.0 million, seven-year term loan ("Concentra first lien term loan") and a $50.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility ("Concentra revolving facility"). The borrowings under the Concentra first lien credit agreement are guaranteed, on a first lien basis, by Concentra Holdings, Inc., the direct parent of Concentra, the domestic subsidiaries of Concentra and will be guaranteed by a lien on Concentra's future domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of Concentra's and its domestic subsidiaries' existing and future property and assets and by a pledge of Concentra's capital stock, the capital stock of Concentra's domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of Concentra's foreign subsidiaries, if any.

        Borrowings under the Concentra first lien credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to:

•

in the case of the Concentra first lien term loan, Adjusted LIBO (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 3.00% (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%), or Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 2.00% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%); and



•

in the case of the Concentra revolving facility, Adjusted LIBO plus a percentage ranging from 2.75% to 3.00%, or Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.75% to 2.00%, in each case based on Concentra's leverage ratio.

        The Concentra first lien term loan will amortize in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each March, June, September and December in aggregate annual amounts equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Concentra first lien term loan commencing in September 2015. The balance of the Concentra first lien term loan will be payable on June 1, 2022. The Concentra revolving facility will be payable on June 1, 2020.

        Concentra will be required to prepay borrowings under the Concentra first lien credit agreement with (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions, or as a result of a casualty or condemnation, subject to reinvestment provisions and other customary carveouts and the payment of certain indebtedness secured by liens, (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the issuance of debt obligations other than certain permitted debt obligations, and (iii) 50% of excess cash flow (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) if Concentra's leverage ratio is greater than 4.25 to 1.00 and 25% of excess cash flow if Concentra's leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00 and greater than 3.75 to 1.00, in each case, reduced by the aggregate amount of term loans and certain debt secured on a pari passu basis optionally prepaid during the applicable fiscal year and the aggregate amount of revolving commitments hereunder reduced permanently during the applicable fiscal year (other than in connection with a refinancing). Concentra will not be required to prepay borrowings with excess cash flow if Concentra's leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00.

        The Concentra first lien credit agreement requires Concentra to maintain a leverage ratio (based upon the ratio of indebtedness for money borrowed to consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) of 5.25 to 1.00 which is tested quarterly, but only if Revolving Exposure (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) exceeds 30% of Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) on such day. Failure to comply with this covenant would result in an event of default under the Concentra revolving facility only and, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders, preclude Concentra from making further borrowings under the Concentra revolving facility and permit the lenders to accelerate all outstanding borrowings under the Concentra revolving facility. Upon such acceleration, Concentra's failure to comply with the financial covenant would result in an Event of Default with respect to the Concentra first lien term loan.

        On June 1, 2015, MJ Acquisition Corporation, as the initial borrower, also entered into the Concentra second lien credit agreement (the "Concentra second lien credit agreement" and, together with the Concentra first lien credit agreement, the "Concentra credit facilities"). Concentra, as the surviving entity of the merger between MJ Acquisition Corporation and Concentra, became the borrower under the Concentra second lien credit agreement on June 1, 2015. The Concentra second lien credit agreement provides for a $200.0 million eight-year second lien term loan ("Concentra second lien term loan" and, together with the Concentra first lien term loans, the "Concentra term loans"). The borrowings under the Concentra second lien term loan are guaranteed, on a second lien basis, by Concentra Holdings, Inc., the domestic subsidiaries of Concentra and will be guaranteed by Concentra's future domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a lien on substantially all of Concentra's and its domestic subsidiaries' existing and future property and assets and by a pledge of Concentra's capital stock, the capital stock of Concentra's domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of Concentra's foreign subsidiaries, if any.

        Borrowings under the Concentra second lien term loan bear interest at a rate equal to Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) plus 8.00% (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%), or Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) plus 7.00% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%).

        In the event that, on or prior to June 1, 2016, Concentra prepays any of the Concentra second lien term loan, Concentra shall pay a premium of 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Concentra second lien term loan so prepaid and if Concentra prepays any of the Concentra second lien term loan on or prior to June 1, 2017, Concentra shall pay a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Concentra second lien term loan so prepaid. The Concentra second lien term loan will be payable on June 1, 2023.

        Concentra will be required to prepay borrowings under the Concentra second lien term loan to the extent that such amounts were not used to make mandatory prepayments under the Concentra first lien credit facilities.

        The Concentra credit facilities also contain a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on mergers, consolidations and dissolutions; sales of assets; investments and acquisitions; indebtedness; liens; affiliate transactions; and dividends and restricted payments. The Concentra credit facilities contain events of default for non-payment of principal and interest when due (subject to a grace period for interest), cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions and an event of default that would be triggered by a change of control.

        Select and Holdings are not parties to the Concentra credit facilities and are not obligors with respect to Concentra's debt under such agreements.

        At December 31, 2015, Concentra had outstanding borrowings of $647.8 million under the Concentra term loans (excluding unamortized original issue discounts of $2.9 million) and borrowings of $5.0 million (excluding letters of credit) under the Concentra revolving facility. Concentra had $39.0 million of availability under its revolving facility (after giving effect to $6.0 million of outstanding letters of credit) at December 31, 2015.

        6.375% Senior Notes due 2021—On March 11, 2014, Select issued and sold $110.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional 6.375% senior notes due June 1, 2021, at 101.50% of the aggregate principal amount resulting in gross proceeds of $111.7 million. The notes were issued as Additional Notes under the indenture pursuant to which it previously issued $600.0 million of 6.375% senior notes due June 1, 2021.

        Stock Repurchase Program—Holdings' board of directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $500.0 million worth of shares of its common stock. The program will remain in effect until December 31, 2016, unless extended or earlier terminated by the board of directors. Stock

repurchases under this program may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and at times and in such amounts as Holdings deems appropriate. Holdings is funding this program with cash on hand and borrowings under the Select revolving facility. During the year ended December 31, 2015, Holdings repurchased 1,032,334 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $13.6 million, an average cost per share of $13.20, which includes transaction costs. Since the inception of the program through December 31, 2015, Holdings has repurchased 35,924,128 shares at a cost of approximately $314.7 million, or $8.76 per share, which includes transaction costs.

        Liquidity—We intend to refinance a portion of the Select credit facilities as a result of the series D term loan reaching maturity on December 20, 2016. We believe our internally generated cash flows and borrowing capacity under the Select and Concentra credit facilities will be sufficient to finance operations over the next twelve months. We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, may be funded from operating cash flows or other sources and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

        Use of Capital Resources—We may from time to time pursue opportunities to develop new joint venture relationships with significant health systems and other healthcare providers, and from time to time we may also develop new inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics in local areas that we currently serve where we can benefit from existing referral relationships and brand awareness to produce incremental growth. In addition to our development activities, we may grow through opportunistic acquisitions.

Concentra Class A Put Right

        In connection with the acquisition of Concentra, WCAS and the other members of Group Holdings will have the Put Right with respect to their equity interests in Group Holdings. If the Put Right is

Table of Contents

exercised by WCAS, Select will be obligated to purchase up to 33¹/3% of the equity interests of Group Holdings that WCAS purchased on June 1, 2015, at a purchase price based on a valuation of Group Holdings performed by an investment bank to be mutually agreed between Select and WCAS, which valuation will be based on certain precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA. Select has the right to elect to pay the purchase price in cash or in shares of Holdings' common stock. WCAS may first exercise its Put Right after June 1, 2018, and then may exercise its Put Right again annually during each fiscal year thereafter. If WCAS exercises its Put Right, the other members of Group Holdings may elect to sell to Select, on the same terms as WCAS, a percentage of their equity interests of Group Holdings that such member purchased on June 1, 2015, up to but not exceeding the percentage of its initial equity interests that WCAS has determined to sell to Select in the exercise of its Put Right. In addition, WCAS and the other members of Group Holdings will have a Put Right with respect to their equity interest in Group Holdings in the event Holdings or Select experiences a change of control that has not been previously approved by WCAS and which results in change in the senior management of Select. If an SEM COC Put Right is exercised by WCAS, WCAS and each other member of Group Holdings will be obligated to sell all (but not less than all) of their equity interests in Group Holdings to Select, at a purchase price based on a valuation of Group Holdings performed by an investment bank to be mutually agreed between Select and WCAS, which valuation will be based on certain precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA. Furthermore, Select has a call right (the "Call Right"), whereby each other member of Group Holdings will be obligated to sell all (but not less than all) of their equity interests in Group Holdings to Select at a purchase price based on a valuation of Group Holdings performed by an investment bank to be mutually agreed between Select and WCAS, which valuation will be based on certain precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA. Select may first exercise the Call Right after June 1, 2020. We exclude the approximate amount that we may be required to pay to purchase these equity interests in Group Holdings from the contractual obligations table above because of the uncertainty as to: (i) whether or not the Put Right, if exercisable, or the Call Right, will actually be exercised; (ii) the dollar amounts that would be paid if the Put Right or Call Right is exercised; and (iii) the timing and form of consideration of any such payments.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

        We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from the Medicare program. We have been, and could be in the future, affected by the continuing efforts of governmental and private third-party payors to contain healthcare costs by limiting or reducing reimbursement payments.

        Additionally, reimbursement payments under governmental and private third-party payor programs may not increase to sufficiently cover increasing costs. Medicare reimbursement in long term acute care hospitals and inpatient rehabilitation facilities are subject to fixed payments under the Medicare prospective payment systems. In accordance with Medicare laws, CMS makes annual adjustments to Medicare payments under what is commonly known as a "market basket update." Generally, these rates are adjusted for inflation. However, these adjustments may not reflect the actual increase in the costs of providing healthcare services and may be reduced by CMS for other adjustments.

        The healthcare industry is labor intensive and the Company's largest expenses are labor related costs. Wage and other expenses increase during periods of inflation and when labor shortages occur in the marketplace. There can be no guarantee we will not experience increases in the cost of labor, as the need for clinical healthcare professionals is expect to grow. In addition, suppliers pass along rising costs to us in the form of higher prices. We have little or no ability to pass on these increased costs associated with providing services due to federal laws that establish fixed reimbursement rates.

        In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes most of the current revenue recognition requirements. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. The original standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of this standard, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

        In April and August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15, Interest—Imputation of Interest, respectively, to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The standard requires debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability. The FASB clarified that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements can be presented as an asset and amortized over the term of the arrangement. The guidance is effective for annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt the standard in 2016. As of December 31, 2015, we had approximately $38.0 million in debt issuance costs included in other assets that would be a direct deduction of the debt liability under the new standard.

        In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement—Period Adjustments, which changes the reporting requirement for retrospective adjustments to provisional amounts in the measurement period. The amendments in this update require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The revised guidance is effective for annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted and the Company intends to prospectively adopt ASU No. 2015-16.

        In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which changes the presentation of deferred income taxes. The intent is to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes through the requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The revised guidance is effective for annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

        We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our variable rate long-term indebtedness. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to the loans outstanding under the Select credit facilities and Concentra credit facilities.

        As of December 31, 2015, Select had $753.3 million (excluding unamortized original issue discount) in term loans outstanding under the Select credit facilities and $295.0 million in revolving borrowings outstanding under the Select credit facilities, which bear interest at variable rates.

        As of December 31, 2015, Concentra had outstanding borrowings under the Concentra credit facilities of $647.8 million (excluding unamortized original issue discounts) of term loans and $5.0 million in revolving borrowings, which bear interest at variable rates. Certain of Select's and Concentra's outstanding borrowings that bear interest at variable rates were effectively fixed as of December 31, 2015 based upon

then current interest rates because the Adjusted LIBO Rate did not then exceed the applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate floors for such borrowings:

•

Select's aggregate $534.7 million in the Select series E term loan is subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%. Therefore, until the Adjusted LIBO Rate exceeds 1.00%, Select's interest rate on this indebtedness is effectively fixed at 5.00%.



•

the $447.8 million Concentra first lien term loan is subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%. Therefore, until the Adjusted LIBO Rate exceeds 1.00%, Concentra's interest rate on this indebtedness is effectively fixed at 4.00%.



•

the $200.0 million Concentra second lien term loan is subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%. Therefore, until the Adjusted LIBO Rate exceeds 1.00%, Concentra's interest rate on this indebtedness is effectively fixed at 9.00%.

        However, the $218.6 million Select series D term loan, and Select and Concentra revolving borrowings are not subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor.

        The following table summarizes the impact of hypothetical increases in market interest rates as of December 31, 2015 on our consolidated interest expense:

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered in this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, including the accumulation and communication of disclosure to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure, are effective as of December 31, 2015

to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the relevant SEC rules and forms.

Concentra Acquisition

        On June 1, 2015, MJ Acquisition Corporation, a joint venture that Select created with WCAS, consummated the acquisition of Concentra. SEC guidance permits management to omit an assessment of an acquired business' internal control over financial reporting from management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting for a period not to exceed one year from the date of the acquisition, and at this time Select is omitting an assessment of Concentra's internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria of "Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)," issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or "COSO," as of December 31, 2015. Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

        The operations and related assets of Concentra are excluded from management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2015. Concentra's assets (excluding its goodwill and intangible assets) represented 9.8% of our total assets and revenues represented 15.6% of our total revenues of the related consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting excluding the recently completed acquisition of Concentra as of December 31, 2015. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)," issued by COSO. Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of December 31, 2015, internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm as stated in their report which appears herein.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Select Medical Holdings Corporation:

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Select Medical Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

        A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        As described in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Concentra Inc. ("Concentra") from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination

during 2015. We have also excluded Concentra from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Concentra is a subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues represent 9.8% and 15.6%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015.

SELECT MEDICAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SELECT MEDICAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Business Description

        Select Medical Corporation ("Select") was formed in December 1996 and commenced operations during February 1997 upon the completion of its first acquisition. Select Medical Holdings Corporation ("Holdings") was formed in October 2004 for the purpose of affecting a leveraged buyout of Select, which was a publicly traded entity. On February 24, 2005, Select merged with a subsidiary of Holdings, which resulted in Select becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings (the "Merger"). On September 30, 2009 Holdings completed its initial public offering of common stock. At the time of the transaction, generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") required that any amounts recorded or incurred (such as goodwill and compensation expense) by the parent as a result of the Merger or for the benefit of the subsidiary be "pushed down" and recorded in Select's consolidated financial statements. Holdings and Select and their subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Company." The consolidated financial statements of Holdings include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary Select. Holdings conducts substantially all of its business through Select and its subsidiaries.

        The Company is managed through three business segments; specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation, and, as of June 1, 2015, the Concentra segment. Through the specialty hospitals segment, the Company provides long term acute care hospital services and inpatient acute rehabilitative hospital care. The specialty hospitals segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of long term stay acute patients and hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive medical rehabilitation care. Patients are typically admitted to the Company's specialty hospitals from general acute care hospitals. These patients have specialized needs, and serious and often complex medical conditions such as respiratory failure, neuromuscular disorders, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, non-healing wounds, cardiac disorders, renal disorders, and cancer. The Company operated 123, 129, and 127 specialty hospitals at December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The Company's outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics and contract services that provide physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation services. The Company's outpatient rehabilitation patients are typically diagnosed with musculoskeletal impairments that restrict their ability to perform normal activities of daily living. At December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Company operated 1,006, 1,023, and 1,038 outpatient clinics, respectively. The Company's Concentra segment consists of medical centers and contract services provided at employer worksites and Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinics, or "CBOCs", that deliver occupational medicine, consumer health, physical therapy, and veteran's healthcare services. At December 31, 2015, the Company operated 300 medical centers, 138 medical facilities located at the workplaces of Concentra's employer customers, and 33 Department of Veterans Affairs CBOCs. At December 31, 2015, the Company had operations in 46 states and the District of Columbia.

Principles of Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority owned subsidiaries, limited liability companies, and limited partnerships the Company and its subsidiaries control through ownership of general and limited partnership or membership interests. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and

F-13

Table of Contents

SELECT MEDICAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SELECT MEDICAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and amounts of revenue and expenses recognized during the period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates market value.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

        The Company reports accounts receivable at estimated net realizable values. Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are related to providing healthcare services to patients whose costs are primarily paid by federal and state governmental authorities, managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, and workers' compensation programs. Collection of these accounts receivable is the Company's primary source of cash and is critical to its operating performance. The Company's primary collection risks relate to non-governmental payors who insure these patients and deductibles, co-payments, and amounts owed by the patient. Deductibles, co-payments, and amounts owed by the patient are an immaterial portion of the Company's net accounts receivable balance and accounted for approximately 0.2% and 1.2% of the net accounts receivable balance before doubtful accounts at December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The Company's general policy is to verify insurance coverage prior to the date of admission for a patient admitted to the Company's hospitals, or in the case of the Company's outpatient rehabilitation clinics and Concentra medical centers, the Company verifies insurance coverage prior to their first visit. The Company's estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by providing a reserve allowance based upon the age of an account balance. Generally the Company has reserved as uncollectible all governmental accounts over 365 days and non-governmental accounts over 180 days from discharge. This method is monitored based on historical cash collections experience. Collections are impacted by the effectiveness of the Company's collection efforts with non-governmental payors and regulatory or administrative disruptions with the fiscal intermediaries that pay the Company's governmental receivables. Uncollected accounts are written off the balance sheet when they are turned over to an outside collection agency, or when management determines that the balance is uncollectible, whichever occurs first.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Direct internal and external costs of developing software for internal use, including programming and enhancements, are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful lives once the software is placed in service. Capitalized software costs are included within furniture and equipment. Software training costs, maintenance, and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the

SELECT MEDICAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SELECT MEDICAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the lease, as appropriate. The general range of useful lives is as follows:

        The Company reviews the realizability of long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate recorded costs may not be recoverable. Gains or losses related to the retirement or disposal of property and equipment are reported as a component of income from operations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash balances and trade receivables. The Company invests its excess cash with large financial institutions. The Company grants unsecured credit to its patients, most of who reside in the service area of the Company's facilities and are insured under third-party payor agreements. Because of the geographic diversity of the Company's facilities and non-governmental third-party payors, Medicare represents the Company's only significant concentration of credit risk.

Income Taxes

        Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company estimates income taxes based on its actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for book and tax purposes. The Company also recognizes as deferred tax assets the future tax benefits from net operating loss carry forwards. The Company evaluates the realizability of these deferred tax assets by assessing their valuation allowances and by adjusting the amount of such allowances, if necessary. Among the factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are projections of future taxable income streams, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, and the impact of tax planning strategies that could be implemented to avoid the potential loss of future tax benefits.

        Reserves for uncertain tax positions are established for exposure items related to various federal and state tax matters. Income tax reserves are recorded when an exposure is identified and when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained and the amount of the liability can be estimated.

Intangible Assets and Liabilities

        Finite-lived intangible assets and liabilities are amortized based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed or otherwise depleted. If such a pattern cannot be reliably determined, other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives. Goodwill and certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are subject to periodic impairment

evaluations. In performing the quantitative periodic impairment tests, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value, including goodwill and other intangible assets. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value and an impairment condition exists, an impairment loss would be recognized.

        To determine the fair value of its reporting units, the Company uses a discounted cash flow approach. Included in this analysis are assumptions regarding revenue growth rate, future Adjusted EBITDA margin estimates, future general and administrative expense rates, and the industry's weighted average cost of capital and industry specific market comparable Adjusted EBITDA multiples. The Company also must estimate residual values at the end of the forecast period and future capital expenditure requirements. Each of these assumptions requires the Company to use its knowledge of (1) its industry, (2) its recent transactions, and (3) reasonable performance expectations for its operations. If any one of the above assumptions changes or fails to materialize, the resulting decline in the Company's estimated fair value could result in a material impairment charge to the goodwill associated with any one of the reporting units.

        Impairment tests are required to be conducted at least annually, or when events or conditions occur that might suggest a possible impairment. These events or conditions include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in the business environment, regulatory environment or legal factors; a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of such losses or a projection of continuing losses; or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. The occurrence of one of these events or conditions could significantly impact an impairment assessment, necessitating an impairment charge. For purposes of goodwill impairment assessment, the Company has defined its reporting units as specialty hospitals, Concentra, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and contract therapy. Goodwill has been allocated among reporting units based on the relative fair value of those divisions when the Merger occurred in 2005 and based on subsequent acquisitions and dispositions. The Company's most recent impairment assessment was completed during the fourth quarter of 2015 utilizing financial information as of October 1, 2015 and indicated that there was no impairment with respect to goodwill or other recorded intangible assets.

        Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in connection with business combinations accounted for under the purchase method are recorded at their respective fair values. Deferred income taxes have been recorded to the extent of differences between the fair value and the tax basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Company management has allocated the intangible assets between identifiable intangibles and goodwill. At December 31, 2015, intangible assets other than goodwill consist of the values assigned to trademarks, certificates of need, accreditations, customer relationships, and leasehold interests. Management believes that the estimated useful lives established are reasonable based on the economic factors applicable to each of the intangible assets.

        The approximate useful life of each class of intangible assets and liabilities is as follows:

        The Company reviews the realizability of intangible assets whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate recorded amounts may not be recoverable.

        If the expected future cash flows (undiscounted) are less than the carrying amount of such assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and their estimated fair value.

Deferred Financing Costs

        The Company has incurred debt issuance costs related to indebtedness which are recognized as other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Debt issuance costs are subsequently amortized and recognized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the related indebtedness. Whenever indebtedness is modified from its original terms an evaluation is made whether an accounting modification or accounting extinguishment has occurred in order to determine the accounting treatment.

Due to Third-Party Payors

        Due to third-party payors represents the difference between amounts received under interim payment plans from Medicare and Medicaid for services rendered and amounts estimated to be reimbursed by those third-party payors upon settlement of cost reports.

Insurance Risk Programs

        Under a number of the Company's insurance programs, which include the Company's employee health insurance program, its workers' compensation and professional malpractice liability insurance programs, the Company is liable for a portion of its losses. In these situations the Company accrues for its losses under an occurrence-based approach whereby the Company estimates the losses that will be incurred in a respective accounting period and accrues that estimated liability using actuarial methods. These programs are monitored quarterly and estimates are revised as necessary to take into account additional information. Provisions for losses for professional liability risks retained by the Company at December 31, 2014 and 2015 have been discounted at 3%. At December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively, the Company had recorded a liability of $101.9 million and $157.4 million related to these programs. If the Company did not discount the provisions for losses for professional liability risks, the aggregate liability for all of the insurance risk programs would be approximately $105.5 million and $165.8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Equity Method Investments

        Investments in equity method investees are accounted for using the equity method based upon the level of ownership and/or the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Investments of this nature are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investees' net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment accounted for under the equity method exceeds its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company's share of that net income exceeds the share of the net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred. The Company evaluates its investments in companies accounted for using the equity method for impairment when there is evidence or indicators that a decrease in value may be other than temporary. The Company's Other Assets are primarily composed of

equity method investments of $99.6 million and $101.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The Company's equity method investments consist principally of non-consolidating interests in inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation businesses. These rehabilitation businesses include a 49.0% interest in BIR, JV, LLP; a 49.0% interest in OHRH, LLC, a 49.0% interest in GlobalRehab—Scottsdale, LLC, a 50.0% interest in Rehabilitation Institute of Denton, LLC, and a 49.0% interest in ES Rehabilitation, LLC as of December 31, 2014 and 2015. The Company's equity method investments had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $2.5 million, $7.0 million and $16.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Non-Controlling Interests

        The ownership interests held by other parties in subsidiaries, limited liability companies and limited partnerships controlled by the Company are classified as non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interests' which are reported in the stockholders' equity section of the Company's consolidated balance sheets, were $35.7 million and $49.3 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

        Some of our non-controlling ownership interests consist of outside parties that have certain redemption rights that, if exercised, require the Company to purchase the parties ownership interest. These interests are classified and reported as redeemable non-controlling interests and they have been adjusted to their approximate redemption values. The redeemable non-controlling interests' balances reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheets were $11.0 million and $238.2 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2014 and 2015, the Company believes the redemption amounts of these ownership interests approximates the fair value of those interests. The changes in the redeemable non-controlling interests amounts for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 are as follows:

        Net income (loss) of entities controlled by the Company that are less than wholly owned require attribution of net income (loss) amounts to each non-controlling ownership interest and to the Company in

the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. The net income (loss) attributable to non controlling interests for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014, and 2015 are as follows:

Revenue Recognition

        Net operating revenues consists primarily of patient service revenues and revenues generated from therapy services provided to healthcare institutions under contractual arrangements and are recognized as services are rendered.

        Patient service revenue is reported net of provisions for contractual allowances from third-party payors and patients. The Company has agreements with third-party payors that provide for payments to the Company at amounts different from its established billing rates. The differences between the estimated program reimbursement rates and the standard billing rates are accounted for as contractual adjustments, which are deducted from gross revenues to arrive at net operating revenues. Payment arrangements include prospectively determined rates per discharge, reimbursed costs, discounted charges, per diem, and per visit payments. Retroactive adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Accounts receivable resulting from such payment arrangements are recorded net of contractual allowances.

        A significant portion of the Company's net operating revenues are generated directly from the Medicare program. Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program represented approximately 46%, 45% and 36% of the Company's net operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Approximately 32% and 24% of the Company's accounts receivable (after allowances for contractual adjustments but before doubtful accounts) are from Medicare at December 31, 2014 and 2015. As a provider of services to the Medicare program, the Company is subject to extensive regulations. The inability of any of the Company's specialty hospitals or outpatient clinics to comply with regulations can result in significant changes in that specialty hospital's or outpatient clinic's net operating revenues generated from the Medicare program.

        Revenues generated under contractual arrangements are comprised primarily of billings for services rendered to nursing homes, hospitals, schools and other third parties.

Stock Based Compensation

        The Company measures the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognizes the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements comprise both stock

options and restricted share plans. Employee stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation method which uses assumptions that relate to the expected volatility of the Company's common stock, the expected dividend yield of the Company's stock, the expected life of the options and the risk free interest rate. Such compensation amounts are amortized over the respective vesting periods or periods of service of the option grant. The Company values restricted stock grants by using the closing market price of its stock on the date of grant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes most of the current revenue recognition requirements. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. The original standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of this standard, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

        In April and August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15, Interest—Imputation of Interest, respectively, to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The standard requires debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability. The FASB clarified that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements can be presented as an asset and amortized over the term of the arrangement. The guidance is effective for annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt the standard in 2016. As of December 31, 2015, we had approximately $38.0 million in debt issuance costs included in other assets that would be a direct deduction of the debt liability under the new standard.

        In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement—Period Adjustments, which changes the reporting requirement for retrospective adjustments to provisional amounts in the measurement period. The amendments in this update require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The revised guidance is effective for annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted and the Company intends to prospectively adopt ASU No. 2015-16.

        In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which changes the presentation of deferred income taxes. The intent is to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes through the requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The revised guidance is effective for annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions

Concentra Acquistion

        On June 1, 2015, MJ Acquisition Corporation, a joint venture that Select created with Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe XII, L.P. ("WCAS"), consummated the acquisition of Concentra, the indirect operating subsidiary of Concentra Group Holdings, LLC ("Group Holdings"), and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement, dated as of March 22, 2015, by and among MJ Acquisition Corporation, Concentra and Humana Inc. ("Humana"), MJ Acquisition Corporation acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Concentra from Humana for $1,047.2 million, net of $3.8 million of cash acquired.

        MJ Acquisition Corporation entered into the Concentra credit facilities, see Note 6, to fund a portion of the purchase price for all of the issued and outstanding stock of Concentra. Concentra, as the surviving entity of the merger between MJ Acquisition Corporation and Concentra, became the borrower under the Concentra credit facilities.

        Select entered into a Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement"), by and among Select, WCAS, Group Holdings and the other members of Group Holdings. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Select purchased Class A equity interests of Group Holdings for an aggregate purchase price of $217.9 million, representing a majority (50.1%) of the voting equity interests in Group Holdings. WCAS and the other members purchased redeemable non-controlling Class A interests of Group Holdings for an aggregate purchase price of $217.1 million, representing a 49.9% share of the voting equity interests of Group Holdings.

        Group Holdings contributed cash of $435.0 million, to MJ Acquisition Corporation. MJ Acquisition Corporation used the cash, together with $650.0 million in borrowings under the Concentra credit facilities, to pay the purchase price, and fees and expenses.

        Concentra, formed in 1979, is one of the largest providers of occupational medicine, consumer health, physical therapy and veteran's healthcare services in the United States based on the number of facilities. As of December 31, 2015, Concentra operated 300 medical centers in 38 states, 138 medical facilities located at the workplaces of Concentra's employer customers and 33 Department of Veterans Affairs CBOCs. Concentra's financial results are consolidated with Select's as of June 1, 2015.

        The Concentra acquisition was accounted for under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. The Company allocated the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.

        During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation to identifiable intangible assets, fixed assets, non-controlling interests, and certain pre-acquisition contingencies. The Company is in the process of completing the accounting for certain deferred tax matters. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation during the second quarter of 2016.

2. Acquisitions (Continued)

        The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting (in thousands):

        The fair value assigned to intangible assets were determined through the use of the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty and the multi-period excess earnings methods. Both valuation methods rely on management judgment, including expected future cash flows resulting from existing customer relationships, customer attrition rates, contributory effects of other assets utilized in the business, peer group cost of capital and royalty rates, and other factors. Useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. The valuation of tangible assets was derived using a combination of the income, market, and cost approaches. Significant judgments used in valuing tangible assets include estimated reproduction or replacement cost, useful lives of assets, estimated selling prices, costs to complete, and reasonable profit. The fair value assigned to non-controlling interests were determined through the use of a market multiple approach.

        Intangible assets acquired consisted of the following:

        Intangible liabilities acquired included unfavorable leasehold interests of $3.3 million with a weighted average amortization period of 4.4 years. The customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. Leasehold interests are being amortized over their remaining lease terms at time of acquisition.

2. Acquisitions (Continued)

        Goodwill of $646.5 million was recognized in the transaction, representing the excess of the purchase price over the value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The factors considered in determining the goodwill that resulted from the Concentra purchase price included Concentra's future earnings potential and the value of Concentra's assembled workforce. The goodwill is allocated to the Concentra segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. However, prior to its acquisition by MJ Acquisition Corporation, Concentra completed certain acquisitions that resulted in goodwill with an estimated value of $23.9 million that is deductible for tax purposes, which the Company will deduct through 2025.

        For the period of June 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, Concentra contributed net revenue of $585.2 million and a net loss of approximately $12.2 million which is reflected in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. The Company incurred $4.7 million of acquisition costs in the year ended December 31, 2015. Acquisition costs consisted of legal, advisory, and due diligence fees and expenses.

        The following pro forma unaudited results of operations have been prepared assuming the acquisition of Concentra occurred January 1, 2014. These results are not necessarily indicative of results of future operations nor of the results that would have actually occurred had the acquisition been consummated January 1, 2014.

        The pro forma financial information is based on the allocation of the purchase price and therefore subject to adjustment upon finalizing the purchase price allocation, as described above, during the measurement period. The net income tax impact was calculated at a statutory rate, as if Concentra had been a subsidiary of the Company as of January 1, 2014.

        Pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2015 were adjusted to include approximately $19.8 million of interest expense, an income tax benefit of approximately $11.4 million, approximately $4.8 million in net income attributable to non-controlling interests, approximately $1.8 million of rent expense, and approximately $1.2 million of depreciation expense. Results for the same period were also adjusted to exclude seller costs of $6.0 million, Concentra acquisition costs of $4.7 million, and amortization expense of approximately $0.8 million.

        Pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2014 were adjusted to include approximately $48.1 million of interest expense, an income tax benefit of approximately $15.5 million, approximately $8.3 million of net loss attributable to non-controlling interests, $4.7 million of Concentra acquisition costs, approximately $4.0 million of rent expense, and approximately $3.0 million of depreciation expense. Results for the same period were also adjusted to exclude amortization expense of approximately $2.3 million.

4. Intangible Assets and Liabilities

        The net carrying value of the Company's goodwill and identifiable intangible assets consist of the following:

        The Company's customer relationship assets amortize over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense for the Company's customer relationships was $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Estimated amortization expense of the Company's customer relationships for each of the five succeeding years is $14.6 million.

        In addition, the Company has recognized unfavorable leasehold interests which are recorded as liabilities. The net carrying value of unfavorable leasehold interests was $3.0 million as of December 31, 2015.

        The Company's favorable leasehold assets and unfavorable leasehold liabilities are amortized to rent expense over the remaining term of their respective leases to reflect a market rent per period based upon the market conditions present at the acquisition date. The effect of this amortization increased rent expense by $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

        The Company's accreditations and trademarks have renewal terms. The costs to renew these intangibles are expensed as incurred. At December 31, 2015, the accreditations and trademarks have a weighted average time until next renewal of 1.5 years and 3.8 years, respectively.

        The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the Company's reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 are as follows:

Select Credit Facilities

        On June 1, 2011, Select entered into its existing senior secured credit agreement that originally provided for $1.15 billion in senior secured credit facilities. The following discussion summarizes amendments and significant transactions affecting the term loan facilities (collectively, the "Select term loans") and the revolving credit facility (the "Select revolving facility" and together with the Select term loans, the "Select credit facilities").

        On August 13, 2012, Select entered into an additional credit extension amendment to the Select credit facilities providing for a $275.0 million series A term loan at the same interest rate and with the same term as the original term loan.

        On February 20, 2013, Select entered into a credit extension amendment to the Select credit facilities providing for a $300.0 million series B term loan. Select used the borrowings under the series B term loan to redeem all of its outstanding 7⁵/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 on March 22, 2013, to finance Holdings' redemption of all of its senior floating rate notes due 2015 on March 22, 2013 and to repay a portion of the balance outstanding under the Select revolving facility.

        On May 28, 2013, Select issued and sold $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due June 1, 2021. Select used the proceeds of the 6.375% senior notes to pay a portion of the amounts then outstanding on the original term loan and the series A term loan and to pay related fees and expenses.

        On June 3, 2013, Select amended the Select credit facilities in order to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date on $293.3 million of its $300.0 million revolving facility from June 1, 2016 to March 1, 2018; (ii) convert the remaining original term loan and series A term loan to a new series C term loan, and lower the interest rate payable on the series C term loan from Adjusted LIBO plus 3.75%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.75%, to Adjusted LIBO plus 3.00%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.00%, and amend the provision of the series C term loan from providing that Adjusted LIBO will at no time be less than 1.75% to providing that Adjusted LIBO will at no time be less than 1.00%; (iii) lower the interest rate payable on the series B term loan from Adjusted LIBO plus 3.75%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.75%, to Adjusted LIBO plus 3.25%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.25%; (iv) amend the restrictive covenants governing the Select credit facilities in order to allow for unlimited restricted payments so long as there is no event of default under the credit facilities and the total pro forma ratio of total indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit facilities) is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00; and (v) amend the definition of "Available Amount" in a manner the effect of which was to increase the amount available for investments, restricted payments and payment of specified indebtedness.

        On March 4, 2014, Select made a principal prepayment of $34.0 million associated with the Select term loans in accordance with the provision in the Select credit facilities that requires mandatory prepayments of term loans resulting from excess cash flow as defined in the Select credit facilities.

        On March 4, 2014, Select amended the Select credit facilities in order to, among other things: (i) convert the remaining series B term loan to a new series D term loan, and lower the interest rate payable on the series D term loan from Adjusted LIBO plus 3.25%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.25%, to Adjusted LIBO plus 2.75%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 1.75%; (ii) set the maturity date of the series D term loan at December 20, 2016; (iii) convert the remaining series C term loan to a new series E term loan, and lower the interest rate payable on the series E term loan from Adjusted LIBO plus 3.00% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO rate floor of 1.00%), or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.00%, to Adjusted LIBO plus 2.75%

(subject to an Adjusted LIBO rate floor of 1.00%), or Alternate Base Rate plus 1.75%; (iv) set the maturity date of the series E term loan at June 1, 2018; (v) beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2014, increase the quarterly compliance threshold set forth in the leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant to a level of 5.00 to 1.00 from 4.50 to 1.00; (vi) provide for a prepayment premium of 1.00% if the Select credit facilities are amended at any time prior to March 4, 2015 in the case of the series E term loans and such amendment reduces the yield applicable to such loans; and (vii) amend the definition of "Available Amount" in a manner the effect of which was to increase the amount available for investments, restricted payments and the payment of specified indebtedness.

        On October 23, 2014, Select entered into two additional credit extension amendments, one of which extended the maturity date on $6.75 million in aggregate principal of revolving commitments from June 1, 2016 to March 1, 2018, the second of which added $50.0 million in incremental revolving commitments that mature on March 1, 2018.

        A summary of the components of deferred tax assets and liabilities is as follows:

        The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2015 is primarily attributable to the uncertainty regarding the realization of state net operating losses and other net deferred tax assets of loss entities. The state net deferred tax assets have a full valuation allowance recorded for entities that have a cumulative history of pre-tax losses (current year in addition to the two prior years). The net deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2014 and 2015 of approximately $93.2 million and $190.0 million, respectively, consist of items which have been recognized for tax reporting purposes, but which will increase tax on returns to be filed in the future, and include the use of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has performed the required assessment of positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of the net deferred tax assets. This assessment included a review of legal entities with three years of cumulative losses, estimates of projected future taxable income, generation of income from the turning of existing deferred tax liabilities and the impact of tax planning strategies that management would and could implement in order to keep deferred tax assets from expiring unused. Although realization is not assured, based on the

Company's assessment, it has concluded that it is more likely than not that such assets, net of the determined valuation allowance, will be realized.

        The total state net operating losses are approximately $465.6 million. State net operating loss carry forwards expire and are subject to valuation allowances as follows:

Reserves for Uncertain Tax Positions:

        The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when it is believed that certain positions might be challenged despite the Company's belief that its tax return positions are fully supportable. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of a tax audit. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that have resulted from resolution of the tax position or expirations of statutes of limitations.

        The reconciliation of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

        As of December 31, 2014 and 2015, the Company had $10.7 million and $5.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, all of which, if fully recognized, would affect the Company's effective income tax rate.

        As of December 31, 2015, approximately $2.6 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, will be eligible for release in the next 12 months due to the expiration of statutes of limitations. The Company's policy is to include interest related to income taxes in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, the Company has accrued interest related to income taxes of $1.9 million and $0.6 million, net of federal income taxes, respectively. Interest recognized for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 was $0.5 million, $0.5 million, and $0.3 million, net of federal income tax benefits, respectively.

        The federal statute of limitations remains open for tax years 2013 through 2015.

        State jurisdictions generally have statutes of limitations for tax returns ranging from three to five years. The state impact of any federal income tax changes remains subject to examination for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. Currently, the Company has one state income tax return under examination.

10. Retirement Savings Plan

        Select sponsors a defined contribution retirement savings plan for substantially all of its employees. Employees who are not classified as HCE's (highly compensated employees) may contribute up to 30% of their salary; HCE's may contribute up to 7% of their salary. The plan provides a discretionary company match which is determined annually. Currently, Select matches 25% of the first 6% of compensation employees contribute to the plan. The employees vest in the employer contributions over a three-year period beginning on the employee's hire date. The expense incurred by Select related to this plan was $8.7 million, $9.3 million and $10.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

        Concentra sponsored a separate defined contribution retirement savings plan and incurred expenses related to this plan of $8.8 million for the period June 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015. Beginning in January 2016, Concentra's employees will participate in the defined contribution retirement savings plan sponsored by Select.

11. Segment Information

        The Company's reportable segments consist of: (i) specialty hospitals, (ii) outpatient rehabilitation, and (iii) Concentra. Other activities include the Company's corporate services and certain other non-consolidating joint ventures and minority investments in other healthcare related businesses. The outpatient rehabilitation reportable segment has two operating segments: outpatient rehabilitation clinics and contract therapy. These operating segments are aggregated for reporting purposes as they have common economic characteristics and provide a similar service to a similar patient base. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance of the segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, Concentra acquisition costs, equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries, and gain on sale of equity investment.

        The Company applies the two-class method for calculating and presenting income per common share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of stock participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two class method:

(a)

Net income attributable to Select Medical Holdings Corporation is reduced by any contractual amount of dividends in the current period for each class of stock. There were no contractual dividends for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015.



(b)

The remaining income is allocated to common stock and unvested restricted stock to the extent that each security may share in income, as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total income allocated to each security is determined by adding together the amount allocated for dividends in (a) above and the amount allocated for participation features.



(c)

The income allocated to common stock is then divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares to which the earnings are allocated to determine the income per share for common stock.

        In applying the two-class method, the Company determined that undistributed earnings should be allocated equally on a per share basis between the common stock and unvested restricted stock due to the equal participation rights of the common stock and unvested restricted stock (i.e., the voting conversion rights).

        The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the calculation of income per share in the Company's consolidated statement of operations and the differences between basic weighted average shares outstanding and diluted weighted average shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively:

13. Fair Value

        Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, notes payable and long-term debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

        The carrying value of the Select credit facilities was $836.0 million and $1,045.5 million at December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The fair value of the Select credit facilities was $816.6 million and $1,023.6 million at December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The fair value of the Select credit facilities was based on quoted market prices for this debt in the syndicated loan market.

        The carrying value of Select's 6.375% senior notes was $711.5 million and $711.2 million at December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The fair value of Select's 6.375% senior notes was $722.4 million and $623.9 million at December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The fair value of this debt was based on quoted market prices.

        The carrying value of the Concentra credit facilities was $649.9 million at December 31, 2015. The fair value of the Concentra credit facilities was $645.4 million at December 31, 2015. The fair value of the Concentra credit facilities was based on quoted market prices for this debt in the syndicated loan market.

        The Company considers the inputs in the valuation process to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy is defined as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, which includes quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

14. Related Party Transactions

        The Company rents its corporate office space from related parties affiliated through common ownership or management. The Company made payments for office rent, leasehold improvements and miscellaneous expenses aggregating $4.2 million, $4.4 million and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively, to the affiliated companies.

        Total rent expense for operating leases, including cancelable leases, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 was $164.6 million, $169.1 million, and $212.9 million (including $34. 9 million for Concentra), respectively.

        Property rent expense to unrelated parties for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 was $119.5 million, $124.4 million, and $163.4 million (including $32.9 million for Concentra), respectively.

Construction Commitments

        At December 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding commitments under construction contracts related to new construction, improvements and renovations at the Company's long term acute care properties and inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and Concentra facilities totaling approximately $15.7 million.

Other

        A subsidiary of the Company has entered into a naming, promotional and sponsorship agreement with an NFL team for the team's headquarters complex that requires a payment of $3.1 million in 2016. Each successive annual payment increases by 2.3% through 2025. The naming, promotional and sponsorship agreement is in effect until 2025.

Litigation

        The Company is a party to various legal actions, proceedings and claims (some of which are not insured), and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations in the ordinary course of its business. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, proceedings and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations. These matters could potentially subject the Company to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines and other penalties. CMS or other federal and state enforcement and regulatory agencies may conduct additional investigations related to the Company's businesses in the future that may, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

        To address claims arising out of the Company's operations, the Company maintains professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance, subject to self-insured retention of $2.0 million per medical incident for professional liability claims and $2.0 million per occurrence for general liability claims. The Company also maintains umbrella liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered by the Company's other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. Significant legal actions, as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance, could subject the Company to substantial uninsured liabilities. In the Company's opinion, the outcome of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

        Healthcare providers are subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether or not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. The Company is and has been a defendant in these cases in the past, and may be named as a defendant in similar cases from time to time in the future.

        On October 19, 2015, the plaintiff-relators filed a Second Amended Complaint in United States of America, ex rel. Tracy Conroy, Pamela Schenk and Lisa Wilson v. Select Medical Corporation, Select Specialty Hospital—Evansville, LLC ("SSH-Evansville"), Select Employment Services, Inc., and Dr. Richard Sloan. The case is a civil action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana by private plaintiff-relators on behalf of the United States under the federal False Claims Act. The plaintiff-relators are the former CEO and two former case managers at SSH-Evansville, and the defendants currently include the Company, SSH-Evansville, a subsidiary of the Company serving as common paymaster for its employees, and a physician who practices at SSH-Evansville. The plaintiff-relators allege that that SSH-Evansville discharged patients too early or held patients too long, improperly discharged patients to and readmitted them from short stay hospitals, up-coded diagnoses at admission, and admitted patients for whom long-term acute care was not medically necessary. They also allege that the defendants engaged in retaliation in violation of federal and state law. The Second Amended Complaint replaces a prior complaint that was filed under seal on September 28, 2012 and served on the Company on February 15, 2013, after a federal magistrate judge unsealed it on January 8, 2013. All deadlines in the case had been stayed after the seal was lifted in order to allow the government time to complete its investigation and to decide whether or not to intervene. On June 19, 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice notified the court of its decision not to intervene in the case, and the court thereafter approved a case management plan imposing certain deadlines. The plaintiff-relators filed a Second Amended Complaint in October 2015, and defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss such Complaint in December 2015. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

        On July 13, 2015, the federal District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee unsealed a qui tam Complaint in Armes v. Garman, et al, No. 3:14-cv-00172-TAV-CCS, which named as defendants Select, Select Specialty Hospital—Knoxville, Inc. ("SSH-Knoxville"), Select Specialty Hospital—North Knoxville, Inc. and ten current or former employees of these facilities. The Complaint was unsealed after the United States and the State of Tennessee notified the Court on July 13, 2015 that each had decided not to intervene in the case. The Complaint is a civil action that was filed under seal on April 29, 2014 by a

respiratory therapist formerly employed at SSH-Knoxville. The Complaint alleges violations of the federal False Claims Act and the Tennessee Medicaid False Claims Act based on extending patient stays to increase reimbursement and to increase average length of stay; artificially prolonging the lives of patients to increase Medicare reimbursements and decrease inspections; admitting patients who do not require medically necessary care; performing unnecessary procedures and services; and delaying performance of procedures to increase billing. The Complaint was served on some of the defendants during October 2015. The defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss such Complaint in November 2015. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action if the relators pursue it, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

16. Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information

        The following table summarizes non cash investing and financing activities for both Holdings and Select at December 31, 2013, 2014, and 2015:

17. Subsequent Events

        On January 25, 2016, Select announced that it has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 22, 2016 with Grip Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Select, Physiotherapy Associates Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Physiotherapy"), and KHR Physio, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the Holder Representative (as defined in the merger agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Select will acquire Physiotherapy for $400.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement, through the merger of Grip Merger Sub, Inc. with and into Physiotherapy, with Physiotherapy continuing as the surviving corporation under its present name as a wholly owned subsidiary of Select.

        Select expects to finance the transaction and related expenses using a combination of cash on hand and the proceeds from a proposed $400.0 million senior secured incremental term facility under its existing credit facility, for which JP Morgan Chase, N.A. has provided Select with a debt commitment letter. Should the merger agreement be terminated by Physiotherapy under specified conditions, including circumstances where Select is required to close the transaction under the merger agreement and there is a failure of the debt financing to be funded in accordance with its terms, a reverse termination fee of $24.0 million would be payable by Select to Physiotherapy. The transaction, which is expected to close in the first half of 2016, is subject to a number of closing conditions.
