The dividend will be payable on or about March 13, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 3, 2025. There is no assurance that future dividends will be declared. The declaration and payment of dividends in the future are at the discretion of Select Medical's board of directors after taking into account various factors, including, but not limited to, Select Medical's financial condition, operating results, available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, the terms of Select Medical's indebtedness, and other factors Select Medical's board of directors may deem to be relevant. Stock Repurchase Program The board of directors of Select Medical has authorized a common stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion worth of shares of its common stock. The common stock repurchase program will remain in effect until December 31, 2025, unless further 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 Select Medical deems appropriate. Select Medical funds this program with cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Since the inception of the common stock repurchase program through December 31, 2024, Select Medical has repurchased 48,234,823 shares at a cost of approximately $600.3 million, or $12.45 per share, which includes transaction costs. Financing Transactions On December 3, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 11 to our credit agreement. Amendment No. 11 established a new incremental term loan in the aggregate amount of $1,050.0 million. The maturity date of the term loan is December 3, 2031. In addition, Amendment No. 11 extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to December 3, 2029 and increased the revolving credit facility commitments from $550.0 million to $600.0 million. The interest rate on the term loan is equal to Term SOFR plus 2.00%, or the Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus 1.00%. The interest rate on the revolving facility is equal to Adjusted Term SOFR plus a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 2.50%, or the Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, in each case subject to a specified leverage ratio.

Select used the net proceeds of the 6.250% senior notes due 2032, together with the proceeds from the incremental term loan borrowings (as described above) and cash on hand, to redeem in full the $1,225.0 million senior notes due 2026, repay the existing term loans, and pay related fees and expenses associated with the financing. Interest on the 2032 senior notes accrues at the rate of 6.250% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2025.

Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements due to factors including the following: changes in government reimbursement for our services and/or new payment policies may result in a reduction in revenue, an increase in costs, and a reduction in profitability; adverse economic conditions including an inflationary environment could cause us to continue to experience increases in the prices of labor and other costs of doing business resulting in a negative impact on our business, operating results, cash flows, and financial condition; shortages in qualified nurses, therapists, physicians, or other licensed providers, and/or the inability to attract or retain qualified healthcare professionals could limit our ability to staff our facilities; shortages in qualified health professionals could cause us to increase our dependence on contract labor, increase our efforts to recruit and train new employees, and expand upon our initiatives to retain existing staff, which could increase our operating costs significantly; the negative impact of public threats such as a global pandemic or widespread outbreak of an infectious disease similar to the COVID-19 pandemic; the failure of our Medicare-certified long term care hospitals or inpatient rehabilitation facilities to maintain their Medicare certifications may cause our revenue and profitability to decline; the failure of our Medicare-certified long term care hospitals and inpatient rehabilitation facilities operated as "hospitals within hospitals" to qualify as hospitals separate from their host hospitals may cause our revenue 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 our acquisitions and our ability to realize anticipated synergies; failure to complete or achieve some or all the expected benefits of the potential separation of Concentra; private third-party payors for our services may adopt payment policies that could limit our future revenue and profitability; the failure to maintain established relationships with the physicians in the areas we serve could reduce our revenue and profitability; competition may limit our ability to grow and result in a decrease in our revenue 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; a security breach of our or our third-party vendors' information technology systems may subject us to potential legal and reputational harm and may result in a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 or the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act; 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 the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Income from Continuing Operations, Net of Tax, to Adjusted EBITDA ReconciliationFor the Three Months and Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2024(In thousands, unaudited) The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is important to investors because Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator of performance by investors within the healthcare industry. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate financial performance and determine resource allocation for each of Select Medical's segments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, income from continuing operations, income from continuing operations before other income and expense, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying definitions, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table reconciles income from continuing operations, net of tax, to Adjusted EBITDA for Select Medical. Adjusted EBITDA is used by Select Medical to report its segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, transaction costs associated with the Concentra separation, gain (loss) on sale of businesses, and equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries. Three Months Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, 2023 2024 2023 2024 Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax $ 30,251 $ (10,456) $ 110,471 $ 129,987 Income tax expense (benefit) 4,618 (4,487) 29,253 44,782 Interest expense 40,263 28,551 154,165 128,605 Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries (10,195) (10,423) (41,339) (63,904) Loss on early retirement of debt — 17,906 14,692 28,845 Income from continuing operations before other income and expense $ 64,937 $ 21,091 $ 267,242 $ 268,315 Stock compensation expense: Included in general and administrative 9,658 47,414 36,041 79,931 Included in cost of services 1,688 12,902 7,117 19,283 Depreciation and amortization 35,485 36,283 135,691 142,866 Concentra separation transaction costs(b) — (1,698) — — Adjusted EBITDA $ 111,768 $ 115,992 $ 446,091 $ 510,395 Critical illness recovery hospital $ 57,384 $ 63,098 $ 246,015 $ 301,634 Rehabilitation hospital 66,344 62,277 221,875 245,748 Outpatient rehabilitation 22,473 26,561 111,868 108,577 Other(a) (34,433) (35,944) (133,667) (145,564) Adjusted EBITDA $ 111,768 $ 115,992 $ 446,091 $ 510,395 _______________________________________________________________________________ (a) Other primarily includes general and administrative costs and other operating income, as discussed further above. (b) During the three months ended December 31, 2024, transaction costs of $1.7 million recognized in previous periods were reclassified from income from continuing operations to income from discontinued operations. Total Concentra separation transaction costs of $16.3 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024 and included in income from discontinued business. X. Reconciliation of Earnings per Common Share from Continuing Operations, Net of Tax, to Adjusted Earnings per Common Share from Continuing Operations, Net of TaxFor the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2024(In thousands, except per share amounts, unaudited) Adjusted income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share from continuing operations are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Items excluded from adjusted income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share from continuing operations are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Select Medical believes that the presentation of adjusted income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share from continuing operations are important to investors because they are reflective of the financial performance of Select Medical's ongoing operations and provide better comparability of its results of operations between periods. Adjusted income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share from continuing operations should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to, or substitutes for, income from continuing operations, net of tax, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because adjusted income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share from continuing operations as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following tables reconcile income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares and earnings per common share from continuing operations on a fully diluted basis to adjusted income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares and adjusted earnings per common share from continuing operations on a fully diluted basis. Three Months Ended December 31, 2023 Per Share(a) 2024 Per Share(a) Income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares(a) $ 15,187 $ 0.12 $ (23,664) (0.19) Adjustments:(b) Loss on early retirement of debt, net of tax — — 12,885 0.10 Concentra separation transaction costs, net of tax — — (1,241) (0.01) Stock compensation expense due to accelerated vesting, net of tax — — 34,645 0.28 Adjusted income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares $ 15,187 $ 0.12 $ 22,625 $ 0.18 Years Ended December 31, 2023 Per Share(a) 2024 Per Share(a) Income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares(a) $ 56,900 $ 0.46 $ 63,154 $ 0.51 Adjustments:(b) Loss on early retirement of debt, net of tax 10,019 0.08 20,311 0.16 Stock compensation expense due to accelerated vesting, net of tax — — 33,846 0.27 Adjusted income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares $66,919 $ 0.54 $ 117,311 $ 0.94 _______________________________________________________________________________ (a) Income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares and earnings per common share from continuing operations are calculated based on the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, as presented in table III. (b) Adjustments to income from continuing operations, net of tax, attributable to common shares include estimated income tax and non-controlling interest impacts and are calculated based on the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The estimated income tax impact, which is determined using tax rates based on the nature of the adjustment and the jurisdiction in which the adjustment occurred, includes both current and deferred income tax expense or benefit.
