Reports All-Time High Quarterly Patient
Volume
Management Updates Guidance
U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. (“USPH” or the “Company”) (NYSE:
USPH), a national operator of outpatient physical therapy clinics
and provider of industrial injury prevention services, today
reported results for the three and six months ended June 30,
2024.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Adjusted EBITDA (1), a non-Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (“GAAP”) measure, was $22.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2024 (“2024 Second Quarter”) compared to $21.7
million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 (“2023 Second
Quarter”).
- Operating Results (1), a non-GAAP measure, was $11.0 million in
the 2024 Second Quarter compared to $10.4 million in the 2023
Second Quarter. On a per share basis, Operating Results was $0.73
in the 2024 Second Quarter compared to $0.76 in the 2023 Second
Quarter, with the decrease attributable to the increase in shares
outstanding associated with the Company’s secondary offering
completed in May 2023.
- Net income attributable to USPH’s shareholders (“USPH Net
Income”), a GAAP measure, was $7.5 million for the 2024 Second
Quarter. In accordance with GAAP, the revaluation of redeemable
non-controlling interest, net of taxes, is not included in net
income but is charged directly to retained earnings; however, this
change is included in the computation of earnings per share.
Earnings per share for the 2024 Second Quarter was $0.47.
- Total revenue from physical therapy operations for the 2024
Second Quarter increased $11.2 million, or 8.5%, to $143.5
million.
- Net rate per patient visit for the 2024 Second Quarter
increased to $105.05 from $102.03 for the 2023 Second Quarter, an
increase of 3.0%, despite the 1.8% Medicare rate reduction in
effect for the 2024 Second Quarter. Excluding Medicare, the
Company’s net rate increased 4.5% in the 2024 Second Quarter as
compared to the 2023 Second Quarter. The increase in net rate per
patient visit reflects the Company’s strategic priority of
increasing reimbursement rates through contract negotiations with
commercial and other payors as well as growth in workers
compensation as a percent of the Company’s overall mix of
business.
- Average daily visits per clinic was at an all-time high of 30.6
for the 2024 Second Quarter compared to 30.4 in the comparable
prior year quarter. Total patient visits were 1,335,335 in the 2024
Second Quarter, a 5.4% increase from the 2023 Second Quarter.
- Industrial injury prevention (“IIP”) services revenue was $23.7
million for the 2024 Second Quarter, an increase of 23.2% as
compared to the 2023 Second Quarter, with an increase in gross
profit of 27.5% over the same periods.
- During the 2024 Second Quarter, the Company added seven new
clinics and closed five clinics bringing its total clinic count to
681 as of June 30, 2024, as compared to 656 clinics as of June 30,
2023.
- On April 30, 2024, one of the Company’s primary IIP businesses,
Briotix Health Limited Partnership, acquired 100% of an IIP
services business for a purchase price of $24.0 million. The
acquired business currently generates approximately $11.0 million
in annual revenues.
- The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend
of $0.44 per share payable on September 13, 2024, to shareholders
of record on August 23, 2024.
- Management updated its guidance for Adjusted EBITDA for 2024,
returning guidance to its original range of $80.0 million to $85.0
million. See “Management Updates 2024 Guidance” below for more
information.

MANAGEMENT’S COMMENTS
Chris Reading, Chief Executive Officer, said, “Physical therapy
volumes, net rate and injury prevention growth and profitability
were all strong for the quarter and a result of our persistent
focus in these areas. While our retention has been good with
respect to our team members, the new employees who join our team as
a result of turnover are coming in at higher rates. This is
especially true of our hourly employees who are more sensitive to
escalating prices elsewhere. Additionally, we have a higher than
anticipated usage of contract therapists in several markets around
the country. We have made significant recent and ongoing
investments in people and processes on the recruiting side of our
efforts with more work to be done -- especially in these more
challenging markets. Our teams are working diligently to optimize
our ability to address demand while maintaining a close eye on cost
and related expense management.”

Net revenue from physical therapy operations increased $11.2
million, or 8.5%, to $143.5 million for the 2024 Second Quarter
from $132.2 million for the 2023 Second Quarter. This increase was
due to the increase in visits from the 25 net new clinics added
since the comparable prior year period, an increase in visits at
mature clinics and an increase in net rate per patient visit. The
increase in net rate per patient visit was mainly driven by higher
reimbursement rates from commercial and other payors as a result of
contract negotiations and an increase in workers compensation as a
percent of the Company’s total net patient revenues.
Operating costs from physical therapy operations increased $10.7
million, or 10.3%, to $114.7 million in the 2024 Second Quarter
from $104.0 million in the 2023 Second Quarter primarily driven by
costs associated with the 25 net new clinics added since the
comparable prior year period. Salaries and related costs per visit
increased to $59.66 in the 2024 Second Quarter from $57.59 in the
2023 Second Quarter while total operating costs per visit increased
to $84.46 from $80.61 over the same periods, respectively.
Gross profit from physical therapy operations in the 2024 Second
Quarter increased $0.6 million, or 2.0%, to $28.8 million from
$28.2 million in the 2023 Second Quarter. The gross profit margin
from physical therapy operations was 20.1% in the 2024 Second
Quarter.

Corporate Office and Other Expenses
Corporate office costs were $14.2 million, or 8.5% of revenue,
in the 2024 Second Quarter compared to $12.1 million, or 8.0% of
revenue in the 2023 Second Quarter.
Operating income was $19.6 million for the 2024 Second Quarter
compared to $20.1 million for the 2023 Second Quarter.
Interest expense decreased $0.7 million to $2.0 million for the
2024 Second Quarter compared to $2.6 million in the 2023 Second
Quarter due to a lower outstanding balance on our revolver, which
was paid down in May 2023. The interest rate on the Company’s
credit facility was 4.7% for the 2024 Second Quarter and 5.7% for
the 2023 Second Quarter, with an all-in effective interest rate,
including all associated costs of 5.4% and 6.0% over the same
periods, respectively.
Interest income from investing excess cash (primarily proceeds
from the secondary offering sale of the Company’s stock completed
in May 2023) in a high-yield savings account was $1.1 million
during the 2024 Second Quarter compared to $0.5 million in the 2023
Second Quarter.
The Company revalued contingent and put-right liabilities
related to certain acquisitions and recognized a net expense of
$4.3 million (an increase in the related liabilities) in the 2024
Second Quarter compared to an income of $0.7 million (a decrease in
the related liabilities) in the 2023 Second Quarter.
The provision for income taxes was $3.1 million in the 2024
Second Quarter compared to $4.2 million during the 2023 Second
Quarter while the effective tax rates were 29.1% and 27.9% over the
same periods, respectively.
USPH Net Income and Non-GAAP Measures
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest (temporary
and permanent) was $4.2 million in the 2024 Second Quarter compared
to $3.9 million in the 2023 Second Quarter.
USPH Net Income was $7.5 million for the 2024 Second Quarter as
compared to $10.9 million for the 2023 Second Quarter. In
accordance with GAAP, the revaluation of non-controlling interest,
net of taxes, is not included in net income but is charged directly
to retained earnings; however, this change is included in the
computation of earnings per share. Earnings per share for the 2024
Second Quarter was $0.47 compared to $0.64 for the 2023 Second
Quarter, due in part to the increase in shares outstanding
associated with the Company’s secondary offering completed in May
2023.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $22.1 million for the 2024 Second
Quarter compared to $21.7 million for the 2023 Second Quarter.
Non-GAAP Operating Results was $11.0 million, or $0.73 per share,
in the 2024 Second Quarter as compared to $10.4 million, or $0.76
per share, in the 2023 Second Quarter, with the decrease in per
share amounts being attributable to the increase in shares
outstanding associated with the Company’s secondary offering
completed in May 2023.

reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results to the most
directly comparable GAAP measure.

SIX MONTH ENDED JUNE 30, 2023
Total net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (“2024
Six Months”) increased $22.9 million, or 7.6%, to $322.9 million
from $300.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (“2023
Six Months”) while operating costs increased $23.7 million, or
10.0%, to $260.6 million from $236.9 million over the same periods,
respectively. Gross profit for the 2024 Six Months was $62.3
million, or 19.3% of net revenue, compared to $63.1 million for the

Revenues from physical therapy operations increased $16.5
million, or 6.3%, to $277.9 million in the 2024 Six Months compared
to $261.4 million in the 2023 Six Months. This increase was
primarily due to the increase in volume from the 25 net new clinics
added since the comparable prior year period as well as an increase
in net rate per patient visit to $104.23 for 2024 Six Months from
$102.56 for 2023 Six Months. Gross profit from physical therapy
operations decreased $2.5 million, or 4.5%, to $52.8 million for

while the gross profit margin from physical therapy operations
decreased to 19.0% for 2024 Six Months from 21.2% for 2023 Six
Months.

Months. Gross profit from IIP operations increased $1.7 million, or

for the 2023 Six Months.

revenue, in the 2024 Six Months, compared to $26.0 million, or 8.7%
of net revenue, in the 2023 Six Months.
Operating income was $33.9 million for the 2024 Six Months
compared to $37.1 million for the 2023 Six Months.
Other expenses were $4.4 million in the 2024 Six Months compared
to $3.6 million in the 2023 Six Months, with the increase primarily
due to increased net expense related to the fair value adjustments
of certain contingent earn-out consideration and put liability
partially offset by lower interest expense as a result of lower
outstanding borrowings and higher interest income from investing
excess cash associated with proceeds from the Company’s secondary
offering completed in May 2023.
The provision for income tax was $6.2 million for the 2024 Six
Months and $7.2 million for the 2023 Six Months. The effective tax
rate was 28.6% and 28.2% over the same periods, respectively.
USPH Net Income was $15.6 million for the 2024 Six Months as
compared to $18.3 million for the 2023 Six Months while earnings
per share was $0.93 for the 2024 Six Months compared to $1.22 for
the 2023 Six Months, due in part to the increase in shares
outstanding associated with the Company’s secondary offering
completed in May 2023.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1.2 million to $38.9 million
for the 2024 Six Months from $40.1 million in the 2023 Six Months
while non-GAAP Operating Results increased $0.6 million to $18.8
million, or $1.25 per share, in the 2024 Six Months from $18.1
million, or $1.36 per share, in the 2023 Six Months, with the
decrease in the per share amounts being attributable to the
increase in shares outstanding associated with the Company’s
secondary offering completed in May 2023.
See pages 12 and 13 of this release for the definition and
reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results to the most
directly comparable GAAP measure.

MANAGEMENT UPDATES 2024 EARNINGS
GUIDANCE
Management returned its guidance for Adjusted EBITDA for 2024 to
its original range of $80.0 million to $85.0 million. The change in
guidance reflects the lingering tough employment environment for
both clinical and front office staff which has resulted in greater
costs than anticipated in both salaries and contract labor so far
this year.
The annual guidance figures will not be updated unless there is
a material development that causes management to believe that
Adjusted EBITDA will be significantly outside the given range.

to the privacy of individually identifiable patient information,
and associated fines and penalties for failure to comply;

markets which may require us to reorganize or close certain clinics
and thereby incur losses and/or closure costs including the
possible write-down or write-off of goodwill and other intangible
assets;
- one of our acquisition agreements contains a put right related
to a future purchase of a majority interest in a separate
company;

limited liability, defaults or other adverse developments that
affect the U.S. or international financial systems, may result in
market wide liquidity problems which could have a material and
adverse impact on our available cash and results of
operations;
- our business depends on hiring, training, and retaining
qualified employees;
- availability and cost of qualified physical therapists;
- competitive environment in the industrial injury prevention
services business, which could result in the termination or
non-renewal of contractual service arrangements and other adverse
financial consequences for that service line;
- our ability to identify and complete acquisitions, and the
successful integration of the operations of the acquired
businesses;
- impact on the business and cash reserves resulting from
retirement or resignation of key partners and resulting purchase of
their non-controlling interest (minority interests);
- maintaining our information technology systems with adequate
safeguards to protect against cyber-attacks;

information technology systems may subject us to potential legal
action and reputational harm and may result in a violation of the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 of the
Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act,
or may interfere with our ability to file and process claims for
payment which could interfere with our collection of revenues from
third party payors;
- enforcing our noncompetition covenants;
- maintaining clients for which we perform management, industrial
injury prevention related services, and other services, as a breach
or termination of those contractual arrangements by such clients
could cause operating results to be less than expected;
- maintaining adequate internal controls;
- maintaining necessary insurance coverage;
- availability, terms, and use of capital; and
- weather and other seasonal factors.
Many factors are beyond our control. Given these uncertainties,
you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking

U. S. PHYSICAL THERAPY, INC. AND
SUBSIDIARIES ADJUSTED EBITDA AND OPERATING RESULTS
The following tables provide details of the basic and diluted
earnings per share computation and reconcile net income
attributable to USPH shareholders calculated in accordance with
GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results (non-GAAP measures).
Management believes providing Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results
to investors is useful information for comparing the Company's
period-to-period results as well as for comparing with other
similar businesses since most do not have redeemable instruments
and therefore have different equity structures. Management uses
Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results, which eliminate certain
items described above that can be subject to volatility and unusual
costs, as the principal measures to evaluate and monitor financial
performance period over period.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income
attributable to USPH shareholders before interest income, interest
expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, change in fair value of
contingent earn-out consideration, Relief Funds, changes in
revaluation of put-right liability, equity-based awards
compensation expense, clinic closure costs, other income and
related portions for non-controlling interests.
Operating Results, a non-GAAP measure, equals net income
attributable to USPH shareholders less, changes in revaluation of a
put-right liability, Relief Funds, clinic closure costs, changes in
fair value of contingent earn-out consideration, and any
allocations to non-controlling interests, all net of taxes.
Operating Results per share also excludes the impact of the
revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest and the
associated tax impact.
Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results are not measures of
financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Operating
Results should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative
to, or substitute for, net income attributable to USPH shareholders
presented in the consolidated financial statements.
