SELECT MEDICAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Select Medical Holdings Corporation (“Holdings”) include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, Select Medical Corporation (“Select”). Holdings conducts substantially all of its business through Select and its subsidiaries. Holdings, Select, and Select’s subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.” The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2024, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting and the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by GAAP, which are normally included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flow for such periods. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024.
2. Accounting Policies
Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is intended to improve disclosure of segment information so that investors can better understand an entity’s overall performance. The ASU requires entities to quantitatively disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker for each reportable segment, as well as the amount of other segment items for each reportable segment and a description of what the other segment items are comprised. Disclosure of multiple measures of profit or loss will be permitted by the ASU.
The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2023, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024; however, early adoption is permitted. The ASU is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently reviewing ASU 2023-07, but does not expect it to have a significant impact on the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to improve the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The ASU includes enhanced requirements on the rate reconciliation, including specific categories that must be disclosed, and provides a threshold over which reconciling items must be disclosed. The amendments in the update also require annual disclosure of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, as well as any individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is greater than 5% of total income taxes paid.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024; however early adoption is permitted. The ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently reviewing the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have to the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
Leases
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which requires companies to amortize leasehold improvements associated with related party leases under common control over the useful life of the leasehold improvement to the common control group. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. The ASU can either be applied prospectively or retrospectively.
The Company adopted this ASU using the prospective method of transition on January 1, 2024. There was not a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Credit Risk Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash balances and accounts receivable. The Company’s excess cash is held with large financial institutions. The Company grants unsecured credit to its patients, most of whom reside in the service area of the Company’s facilities and are insured under third-party payor agreements.
Because of the diversity in the Company’s non-governmental third-party payor base, as well as their geographic dispersion, accounts receivable due from the Medicare program represent the Company’s only significant concentration of credit risk. Approximately 17% of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from Medicare at both December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2024.
4. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests
The ownership interests held by outside parties in subsidiaries, which include limited liability companies and limited partnerships, controlled by the Company are classified as non-controlling interests. Some of the Company’s non-controlling ownership interests consist of outside parties that have certain redemption rights that, if exercised, require the Company to purchase the parties’ ownership interests. These interests are classified and reported as redeemable non-controlling interests and have been adjusted to their redemption values, after the attribution of net income or loss.
The changes in redeemable non-controlling interests are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2023 | | 2024 |
| (in thousands) |
Balance as of January 1 | $ | 34,043 | | | $ | 26,297 | |

5. Variable Interest Entities
Certain states prohibit the “corporate practice of medicine,” which restricts the Company from owning medical practices which directly employ physicians or therapists and from exercising control over medical decisions by physicians and therapists. In these states, the Company enters into long-term management agreements with medical practices that are owned by licensed physicians or therapists, which, in turn, employ or contract with physicians or therapists who provide professional medical services. The management agreements provide for the Company to direct the transfer of ownership of the medical practices. Based on the provisions of the management agreements, the medical practices are variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.
As of December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2024, the total assets of the Company’s variable interest entities were $246.4 million and $264.5 million, respectively, and are principally comprised of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2024, the total liabilities of the Company’s variable interest entities were $84.3 million and $84.4 million, respectively, and are principally comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses. These variable interest entities have obligations payable for services received under their management agreements with the Company of $161.8 million and $183.3 million as of December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2024, respectively. These intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation.

9. Interest Rate Cap
The Company is subject to market risk exposure arising from changes in interest rates on its term loan, which bears interest at a rate which is indexed to one-month Term SOFR. The Company’s objective in using an interest rate derivative is to mitigate its exposure to increases in interest rates. The interest rate cap limits the Company’s exposure to increases in the variable rate index to 1.0% on $2.0 billion of principal outstanding under the term loan, as the interest rate cap provides for payments from the counterparty when interest rates rise above 1.0%. The interest rate cap has a $2.0 billion notional amount and expires on September 30, 2024. The Company will pay a monthly premium for the interest rate cap over the term of the agreement. The annual premium is equal to 0.0916% of the notional amount, or approximately $1.8 million.
The interest rate cap has been designated as a cash flow hedge and is highly effective at offsetting the changes in cash outflows when the variable rate index exceeds 1.0%. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap, net of tax, are recognized in other comprehensive income and are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into interest expense when the hedged interest obligations affect earnings. At June 30, 2024, we determined that a portion of the underlying cash flows related to our hedging relationship are probable not to occur due to the term loan prepayment as described in Note 15, Subsequent Events. Accordingly, we reclassified changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap, net of tax, related to these cash flows out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
The following table outlines the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, during the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2023 | | 2024 |
| | (in thousands) |
Balance as of January 1 | | $ | 88,602 | | | $ | 42,907 | |
Gain (loss) on interest rate cap cash flow hedge | | (2,696) | | | 4,370 | |
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income | | (13,252) | | | (16,347) | |
Balance as of March 31 | | $ | 72,654 | | | $ | 30,930 | |
Gain on interest rate cap cash flow hedge | | 17,527 | | | 1,323 | |
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income | | (15,134) | | | (16,071) | |
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income - forecasted transactions probable not to occur | | — | | | (10,400) | |
Balance as of June 30 | | $ | 75,047 | | | $ | 5,782 | |

Income tax expense | | (4,911) | | | (8,359) | | | (9,211) | | | (13,522) | |
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income | | $ | 15,134 | | | $ | 26,471 | | | $ | 28,386 | | | $ | 42,818 | |
The Company expects that approximately $7.6 million of estimated pre-tax gains will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Refer to Note 10 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments for information on the fair value of the Company’s interest rate cap contract and its balance sheet classification.
10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments which are measured at fair value, or for which a fair value is disclosed, are classified in the fair value hierarchy, as outlined below, on the basis of the observability of the inputs used in the fair value measurement:
•Level 1 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
•Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument.
The Company’s interest rate cap contract is recorded at its fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis. The fair value of the interest rate cap contract is based upon a model-derived valuation using observable market inputs, such as interest rates and interest rate volatility, and the strike price.

| | | | | | | | |
The Company does not measure its indebtedness at fair value in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the credit facilities is based on quoted market prices for this debt in the syndicated loan market. The fair value of the senior notes is based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of the Company’s other debt, as disclosed in Note 7 – Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable, approximates fair value.

| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
The Company’s other financial instruments, which primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.
11. Segment Information
The Company’s reportable segments consist of the critical illness recovery hospital segment, rehabilitation hospital segment, outpatient rehabilitation segment, and Concentra segment. Other activities include the Company’s corporate shared services, certain investments, and employee leasing services with non-consolidating subsidiaries.

13. Earnings per Share
The Company’s capital structure includes common stock and unvested restricted stock awards. To compute earnings per share (“EPS”), the Company applies the two-class method because the Company’s unvested restricted stock awards are participating securities which are entitled to participate equally with the Company’s common stock in undistributed earnings. Application of the Company’s two-class method is as follows:
(i)Net income attributable to the Company is reduced by the amount of dividends declared and by the contractual amount of dividends that must be paid for the current period for each class of stock. There were no contractual dividends paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024.
(ii)The remaining undistributed net income of the Company is then equally allocated to its common stock and unvested restricted stock awards, as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total net income allocated to each security is determined by adding both distributed and undistributed net income for the period.
(iii)The net income allocated to each security is then divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares for the period to determine the EPS for each security considered in the two-class method.
The following table sets forth the net income attributable to the Company, its common shares outstanding, and its participating securities outstanding.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
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. The Department of Justice, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“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 coverages through a number of different programs that are dependent upon such factors as the state where the Company is operating and whether the operations are wholly owned or are operated through a joint venture. For the Company’s wholly owned hospital and outpatient clinic operations, the Company currently maintains insurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of up to $37.0 million for professional malpractice liability insurance and $40.0 million for general liability insurance. For the Company’s Concentra center operations, the Company currently maintains insurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of up to $29.0 million for professional malpractice liability insurance and $29.0 million for general liability insurance. The Company’s insurance for the professional liability coverage is written on a “claims-made” basis, and its commercial general liability coverage is maintained on an “occurrence” basis. These coverages apply after a self-insured retention limit is exceeded. For the Company’s joint venture operations, the Company has designed a separate insurance program that responds to the risks of specific joint ventures. Most of the Company’s joint ventures are insured under a master program with an annual aggregate limit of up to $80.0 million, subject to a sublimit aggregate ranging from $23.0 million to $33.0 million. The policies are generally written on a “claims-made” basis. Each of these programs has either a deductible or self-insured retention limit. The Company also maintains additional types of liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered by the applicable professional malpractice and general liability insurance policies, including workers compensation, property and casualty, directors and officers, cyber liability insurance, and employment practices liability insurance coverages. Our insurance policies generally are silent with respect to punitive damages so coverage is available to the extent insurable under the law of any applicable jurisdiction, and are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. The Company reviews its insurance program annually and may make adjustments to the amount of insurance coverage and self-insured retentions in future years. Significant legal actions, as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance, could subject the Company to substantial uninsured liabilities.
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.
Oklahoma City Investigation. On August 24, 2020, the Company and Select Specialty Hospital – Oklahoma City, Inc. (“SSH–Oklahoma City”) received civil investigative demands (“CIDs”) from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Oklahoma seeking responses to interrogatories and the production of various documents principally relating to the documentation, billing and reviews of medical services furnished to patients at SSH-Oklahoma City. The Company understands that the investigation arose from a qui tam lawsuit alleging billing fraud related to charges for respiratory therapy services at SSH–Oklahoma City and Select Specialty Hospital – Wichita, Inc. The Company has produced documents in response to the CIDs and is fully cooperating with this investigation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
Physical Therapy Billing. On October 7, 2021, the Company received a letter from a Trial Attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Division, Commercial Litigation Branch, Fraud Section (“DOJ”) stating that the DOJ, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), is investigating the Company in connection with potential violations of the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, et seq. The letter specified that the investigation relates to the Company’s billing for physical therapy services, and indicated that the DOJ would be requesting certain records from the Company. In October and December 2021, the DOJ requested, and the Company furnished, records relating to six of the Company’s outpatient therapy clinics in Florida. In 2022 and 2023, the DOJ requested certain data relating to all of the Company’s outpatient therapy clinics nationwide, and sought information about the Company’s ability to produce additional data relating to the physical therapy services furnished by the Company’s outpatient therapy clinics and Concentra. The Company has produced data and other documents requested by the DOJ and is fully cooperating on this investigation. In May 2024, by order of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, a qui tam lawsuit that is related to the DOJ’s investigation was unsealed after the U.S. filed a notice declining to intervene in the case, but stating that its investigation is continuing and reserving its right to intervene at a later date. The lawsuit, filed in May 2021 and amended in October 2021 and July 2024, was brought by Kathleen Kane, a physical therapist formerly employed in the Company’s outpatient division, against Select Medical Corporation, Select Physical Therapy Holdings, Inc. and Select Employment Services, Inc. The amended complaint alleges that the defendants billed Federally funded health programs for one-on-one therapy services when group therapy was performed or overbilled for one-on-one therapy services, and billed for unreimbursable unskilled physical therapy services. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
California Department of Insurance Investigation. On February 5, 2024, Concentra received a subpoena from the California Department of Insurance relating to an investigation under the California Insurance Frauds Prevention Act (“IFPA”), Cal. Ins. Code § 1871.7 et seq., which allows a whistleblower to file a false claims lawsuit based on the submission of false or fraudulent claims to insurance companies. The subpoena seeks documentation relating mainly to Concentra’s billing and coding for physical therapy claims submitted to commercial insurers and workers compensation carriers located or doing business in California. The Company has produced data and other documents requested by the California Department of Insurance and is fully cooperating on this investigation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
Perry Johnson & Associates, Inc. Data Breach. On November 10, 2023, Perry Johnson & Associates, Inc., a third-party vendor of health information technology solutions that provides medical transcription services (“PJ&A”), notified Concentra Health Services, Inc. (“Concentra”) that certain information related to particular Concentra patients was potentially affected by a cybersecurity event. In February 2024, Concentra sent notices to almost four million patients who may have been impacted by the data breach. During the first quarter of 2024, Concentra became aware of six putative class action lawsuits files against PJ&A and Concentra related to the data breach. The first was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on February 19, 2024 by Elliot Curry, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated. Plaintiff alleged, among other things, that he became the victim of identity theft as a result of the PJ&A data breach and that Concentra had lax data security policies. The second was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on February 21, 2024 by Tiffany Williams and Jo Joaquim, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated. Plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that they face an immediate and heightened risk of identity theft as a result of the data breach and that the defendants failed to take measures to properly safeguard their private information. The third was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri on February 26, 2024 by Stephen Tate, a.k.a. Steven Tate, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated. Plaintiff alleged, among other things, that he faces a heightened and imminent risk of identity theft as a result of the data breach and that the defendants failed to take measures to properly safeguard his private information.

The Company is working with its cybersecurity risk insurance policy carrier and does not believe that the data breach or the lawsuits will have a material impact on its operations or financial performance. However, at this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of these matters.
15. Subsequent Events
Concentra Group Holdings Parent Initial Public Offering and Debt Transaction
On July 26, 2024, Concentra Group Holdings Parent (“Concentra”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Select, completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 22,500,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at an initial public offering price of $23.50 per share for gross proceeds of $528.8 million. In addition, Concentra has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,375,000 shares of its common stock. Concentra shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CON” on July 25, 2024. In connection with the offering, Concentra Health Services, Inc. (“CHSI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Concentra, entered into certain financing arrangements which include Credit Facilities and $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”). The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by Concentra and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.875% per annum and mature on July 15, 2032. The Credit Facilities consist of a $850.0 million Term Loan and a $400.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan matures on July 26, 2031, and has an interest rate of Term SOFR plus 2.25%, subject to a leverage-based pricing grid. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on July 26, 2029, and has an interest rate of Term SOFR plus 2.50%, subject to a leverage-based pricing grid.
The net proceeds of the IPO and the debt financing transactions, except for $34.7 million, were used to repay $1.9 billion of Select’s Credit Facilities.
After the closing of the IPO, Select owns 82.23% of the total outstanding shares of Concentra common stock, and continues to consolidate the financial results of Concentra. Select intends to make a distribution, which is intended to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to its stockholders of all of its remaining equity interest in Concentra within twelve months of the IPO.
Dividend Declaration
On July 31, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.125 per share. The dividend will be payable on or about August 30, 2024, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 14, 2024.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read this discussion together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report on Form 10-Q 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, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on those 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 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;
•public threats such as a global pandemic, or widespread outbreak of an infectious disease, similar to the COVID-19 pandemic, could negatively impact patient volumes and revenues, increase labor and other operating costs, disrupt global financial markets, and/or further legislative and regulatory actions which impact healthcare providers, including actions that may impact the Medicare program;
•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 SEC, including factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
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.
Overview
We began operations in 1997 and, based on number of facilities, are one of the largest operators of critical illness recovery hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and occupational health centers in the United States. As of June 30, 2024, we had operations in 46 states and the District of Columbia. We operated 107 critical illness recovery hospitals in 29 states, 33 rehabilitation hospitals in 13 states, 1,925 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 39 states and the District of Columbia, 547 occupational health centers in 41 states, and 154 onsite clinics at employer worksites.
Our reportable segments include the critical illness recovery hospital segment, the rehabilitation hospital segment, the outpatient rehabilitation segment, and the Concentra segment. We had revenue of $3,548.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Of this total, we earned approximately 36% of our revenue from our critical illness recovery hospital segment, approximately 15% from our rehabilitation hospital segment, approximately 17% from our outpatient rehabilitation segment, and approximately 27% from our Concentra segment. Our critical illness recovery hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of patients recovering from critical illnesses, often with complex medical needs, and our rehabilitation hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive physical rehabilitation care. Patients are typically admitted to our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals from general acute care hospitals. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics that provide physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation services. Our Concentra segment consists of occupational health centers that provide workers’ compensation injury care, physical therapy, and consumer health services as well as onsite clinics located at employer worksites that deliver occupational health services.
Concentra Separation
On July 26, 2024, Concentra Group Holdings Parent (“Concentra”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Select, completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 22,500,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at an initial public offering price of $23.50 per share for gross proceeds of $528.8 million. In addition, Concentra has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,375,000 shares of its common stock. Concentra shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CON” on July 25, 2024. In connection with the offering, Concentra Health Services, Inc. (“CHSI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Concentra, entered into certain financing arrangements which include Credit Facilities and $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”). The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by Concentra and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.875% per annum and mature on July 15, 2032. The Credit Facilities consist of a $850.0 million Term Loan and a $400.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan matures on July 26, 2031, and has an interest rate of Term SOFR plus 2.25%, subject to a leverage-based pricing grid. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on July 26, 2029, and has an interest rate of Term SOFR plus 2.50%, subject to a leverage-based pricing grid.
The net proceeds of the IPO and the debt financing transactions, except for $34.7 million, were used to repay $1.9 billion of Select’s Credit Facilities.
After the closing of the IPO, Select owns 82.23% of the total outstanding shares of Concentra common stock, and continues to consolidate the financial results of Concentra. Select intends to make a distribution, which is intended to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to its stockholders of all of its remaining equity interest in Concentra within twelve months of the IPO.
Impact of the Change Healthcare Cybersecurity Incident
On February 22, 2024, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated indicated in a Form 8-K filing, that a cyber security threat actor had gained access to some of its Change Healthcare information technology systems. Upon receiving notification of the incident, we severed connectivity with all Change Healthcare-related systems and we are not aware of any impact on our own information technology systems. However, as a result of the incident, certain of our patient billing and collections processes were disrupted and alternative platforms needed to be enabled to resume normal patient billing and collections operations. The Company began to reconnect to certain applications during March 2024, and during the three months ended June 30, 2024, there was a significant reduction in our claims processing backlog, resulting in a decrease in our days sales outstanding. We expect a further reduction in our days sales outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Non-GAAP Measure
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, 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 our segments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under 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, net income, income from operations, 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.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings 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. We will refer to Adjusted EBITDA throughout the remainder of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following table reconciles net income and income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA and should be referenced when we discuss Adjusted EBITDA:

(1) Concentra separation transaction costs represent incremental consulting, legal, and audit-related fees incurred in connection with the Company’s planned separation of the Concentra segment into a new, publicly traded company and are included within general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, an adjustment was made to capitalize Concentra separation transaction costs recognized during the first quarter of 2024.

Regulatory Changes
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024, contains a detailed discussion of the regulations that affect our business in Part I — Business — Government Regulations. The following is a discussion 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 information below should be read in conjunction with the more detailed discussion of regulations contained in our Form 10-K.
Medicare Reimbursement
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 (“HHS”) and CMS. Revenue generated directly from the Medicare program represented approximately 21% and 23% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and for the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
Federal Health Care Program Changes in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
On January 31, 2020, HHS declared a public health emergency under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. § 247d, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. The HHS Secretary renewed the public health emergency determination for subsequent 90-day periods through May 11, 2023, the end of the public health emergency. The COVID-19 national emergency that was declared by President Trump on March 13, 2020, which was separate from the public health emergency, ended on April 10, 2023 when H.R.J. Res. 7 was signed into law.
As a result of the COVID-19 national emergency, the HHS Secretary authorized the waiver or modification of certain requirements under Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) pursuant to section 1135 of the Social Security Act. Under this authority, CMS issued a number of blanket waivers that excused health care providers or suppliers from specific program requirements. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, contains a detailed discussion of the federal health care program changes made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including these COVID-19 waivers, in Part II — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Regulatory Changes. Most of these COVID-19 waivers, including the waiver of the IRF 60% Rule and the waiver of Medicare statutory requirements regarding site neutral payments to long-term care hospitals (“LTCHs”), ended for new admissions when the public health emergency expired on May 11, 2023. However, LTCHs were exempt from the greater-than-25-day average length of stay requirement for all cost reporting periods that include the COVID-19 public health emergency period. As a result, LTCH cost reporting periods that started prior to May 11, 2023, were exempt for the remainder of that cost reporting year. However, LTCH cost reporting periods that began on or after May 11, 2023, must comply with the greater-than-25-day average length of stay requirement.
In addition, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and related legislation temporarily suspended the 2% cut to Medicare payments due to sequestration from May 1, 2020, through March 31, 2022, and reduced the sequestration adjustment from 2% to 1% from April 1 through June 30, 2022. The full 2% reduction resumed on July 1, 2022. To pay for this relief, Congress increased the sequestration cut to Medicare payments to 2.25% for the first six months of fiscal year 2030 and to 3% for the final six months of fiscal year 2030. Additionally, an across-the-board 4% payment cut required to take effect in January 2022 due to the American Rescue Plan from the FY 2022 Statutory Pay-As-You-Go (“PAYGO”) scorecard was deferred by Congress until 2025.
The CARES Act and related legislation also provided more than $178 billion in appropriations for the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also known as the Provider Relief Fund, to be used for preventing, preparing, and responding to COVID-19 and for reimbursing “eligible health care providers for health care related expenses or lost revenues that are attributable to coronavirus.” HHS began distributing these funds to providers in April 2020. Recipients of payments were required to report data to HHS on the use of the funds via an online portal by specific deadlines established by HHS based on the date of the payment. All recipients of funds are subject to audit by HHS, the HHS OIG, or the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee. Audits may include examination of the accuracy of the data providers submitted to HHS in their applications for payments. Additional distributions are not expected and as a result, the Company does not expect to recognize additional income associated with these funds in the future.
Medicare Reimbursement of LTCH Services
The following is a summary of significant regulatory changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for our critical illness recovery hospitals, which are certified by Medicare as LTCHs, which have affected our results of operations, as well as the policies and payment rates that may affect our future results of operations. Medicare payments to our critical illness recovery hospitals are made in accordance with the long-term care hospital prospective payment system (“LTCH-PPS”).
Fiscal Year 2023. On August 10, 2022, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2023 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023). Certain errors in the final rule were corrected in documents published November 4, 2022, and December 13, 2022. The standard federal rate for fiscal year 2023 was set at $46,433, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2022 of $44,714. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2023 included a market basket increase of 4.1%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.3%. The standard federal rate also included an area wage budget neutrality factor of 1.0004304. As a result of the CARES Act, all LTCH cases were paid at the standard federal rate during the public health emergency. When the public health emergency ended on May 11, 2023, CMS returned to using the site-neutral payment rate for reimbursement of cases that do not meet the LTCH patient criteria. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $38,518, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2022 fiscal year of $33,015. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate was set at $38,788, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2022 fiscal year of $30,988.
Fiscal Year 2024. On August 28, 2023, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2024 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024). Certain errors in the final rule were corrected in a document published on October 4, 2023. The standard federal rate for fiscal year 2024 is $48,117, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2023 of $46,433. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2024 includes a market basket increase of 3.5%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.2%. The standard federal rate also includes an area wage budget neutrality factor of 1.0031599. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS is $59,873, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2023 fiscal year of $38,518. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate is $42,750, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2023 fiscal year of $38,788.
Fiscal Year 2025. On May 2, 2024, CMS published a proposed rule to update policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2025 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025). CMS is expected to issue the final rule by August 1 or shortly thereafter if there is good cause for later publication. The proposed standard federal rate for fiscal year 2025 is $49,263, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2024 of $48,117. The proposed update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2025 includes a market basket increase of 3.2%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.4%. The proposed standard federal rate also includes an area wage budget neutrality factor of 0.9959347. The proposed fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS is $90,921, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2024 fiscal year of $59,873. The proposed fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate is $49,237, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2024 fiscal year of $42,750.
Medicare Reimbursement of IRF Services
The following is a summary of significant regulatory changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for our rehabilitation hospitals, which are certified by Medicare as IRFs, which have affected our results of operations, as well as the policies and payment rates that may affect our future results of operations. Medicare payments to our rehabilitation hospitals are made in accordance with the inpatient rehabilitation facility prospective payment system (“IRF-PPS”).
Fiscal Year 2023. On August 1, 2022, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2023 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2023 was set at $17,878, an increase from the standard payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2022 of $17,240. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2023 included a market basket increase of 4.2%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.3%. CMS increased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2023 to $12,526 from $9,491 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2022.
Fiscal Year 2024. On August 2, 2023, CMS published the final rule to update policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2024 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024). Certain errors in the final rule were corrected in a document published on October 4, 2023. The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2024 was set at $18,541, an increase from the standard payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2023 of $17,878. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2024 included a market basket increase of 3.6%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.2%. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2024 to $10,423 from $12,526 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2023.
Fiscal Year 2025. On July 31, 2024, CMS published a display copy of the final rule to update policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2025 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2025 was set at $18,907, an increase from the standard payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2024 of $18,541. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2025 included a market basket increase of 3.5%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%. CMS increased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2025 to $12,043 from $10,423 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2024.
Medicare Reimbursement of Outpatient Rehabilitation Clinic Services
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 contains a detailed discussion of Medicare reimbursement that affects our outpatient rehabilitation clinic operations in Part I — Business — Government Regulations and in Part II — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Regulatory Changes. Outpatient rehabilitation providers enroll in Medicare as a rehabilitation agency, a clinic, or a public health agency. The Medicare program reimburses outpatient rehabilitation providers based on the Medicare physician fee schedule.
For calendar years 2021 and 2022, CMS’s expected decreases in Medicare reimbursement under the physician fee schedule were mostly offset by one-time increases in payments as a result of legislation passed by Congress. Similarly, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, provided some relief from the payment cuts in calendar years 2023 and 2024. Payments under the 2023 physician fee schedule decreased by 2%, and for calendar year 2024, final CMS policies resulted in an approximate 3% decrease in Medicare payments for the therapy specialty. On March 9, 2024, President Biden signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, which mitigated Medicare physician payment cuts by 1.68%, resulting in a lower, 1.69% cut to payments. The full 3.37% cut was applied to payments for services provided between January 1, 2024 and the March 9, 2024 effective date. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 also extends the Medicare physician work geographic index floor through December 31, 2024. The steps Congress has taken to reduce the cuts to Medicare physician payments for the remainder of 2024 are temporary and will not carry over into 2025. In the display copy of the calendar year 2025 physician fee schedule proposed rule, CMS calculated the payment rates without the 1.25% and 2.93% payment increases under the Consolidated Appropriations of 2023 and 2024, respectively. However CMS expects that its proposed policies for 2025 will not result in any increase or decrease in Medicare payments for the therapy specialty.
Modifiers to Identify Services of Physical Therapy Assistants or Occupational Therapy Assistants
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, contains a detailed discussion of Medicare regulations concerning services provided by physical therapy assistants and occupational therapy assistants in Part I — Business — Government Regulations and in Part II — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Regulatory Changes. There have been no significant updates to these regulations subsequently.
Operating Statistics
The following table sets forth operating statistics for each of our segments for the periods presented. The operating statistics reflect data for the period of time we managed these operations. Our operating statistics include metrics we believe provide relevant insight about the number of facilities we operate, volume of services we provide to our patients, and average payment rates for services we provide. These metrics are utilized by management to monitor trends and performance in our businesses and therefore may be important to investors because management may assess our performance based in part on such metrics.

Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the critical illness recovery hospital segment was 11.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 11.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increases in our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, were principally due to an increase in revenue. Additionally, our total contract labor costs decreased by approximately 15% during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, which was attributable to an approximate 14% decrease in the utilization of contract registered nurses and an approximate 4% decrease in the rate per hour for contract registered nurses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $6.3 million, compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in equity in earnings is principally attributable to the write-off of an impaired investment within our Concentra segment.
Interest
Our term loan is subject to an interest rate cap, which limits the variable interest rate to 1.0% on $2.0 billion of principal outstanding under the term loan. The Term SOFR rate was 5.34% at June 30, 2024, compared to 5.20% at June 30, 2023. Interest expense was $37.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $49.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in interest expense is principally due to the reclassification of a $13.7 million gain on the interest rate cap cash flow hedge from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense for forecasted transactions that are probable not to occur.

Operating activities provided $211.5 million of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $286.3 million of cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decline in cash flows provided by operating activities year over year is principally due to an increase in accounts receivable, which was principally driven by an increase in revenue and the continued impact of the Change Healthcare matter.
Our days sales outstanding was 56 days at June 30, 2024, compared to 52 days at December 31, 2023. Our days sales outstanding was 52 days at June 30, 2023, compared to 55 days at December 31, 2022. Our days sales outstanding will fluctuate based upon variability in our collection cycles and patient volumes and the continued impact of the Change Healthcare matter.
Investing activities used $111.7 million of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The principal uses of cash were $108.1 million for purchases of property, equipment, and other assets, and $6.0 million for investments in and acquisitions of businesses.

Financing activities used $72.6 million of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The principal uses of cash were payments of $79.1 million on our term loan, $32.3 million of dividend payments to common stockholders, and $18.4 million for distributions to and purchases of non-controlling interests. The principal source of cash was net borrowings under our revolving facility of $65.0 million. Financing activities used $147.1 million of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The principal uses of cash were net repayments under our revolving facility of $100.0 million, $31.8 million of dividend payments to common stockholders, and $24.1 million for distributions to and purchases of non-controlling interests.
Capital Resources
Working capital. We had net working capital of $108.1 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $9.2 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in net working capital was principally due to an increase in accounts receivable.
Credit facilities. At June 30, 2024, Select had outstanding borrowings under its credit facilities consisting of a $2,013.4 million term loan (excluding unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs of $12.9 million) and borrowings of $345.0 million under its revolving facility. At June 30, 2024, Select had $367.4 million of availability under its revolving facility after giving effect to $57.6 million of outstanding letters of credit.
Stock Repurchase Program. Holdings’ Board of Directors 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 Holdings deems appropriate. Holdings funds this program with cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving facility. Holdings did not repurchase shares under the program during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Since the inception of the program through June 30, 2024, Holdings has repurchased 48,234,823 shares at a cost of approximately $600.3 million, or $12.45 per share, which includes transaction costs. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which enacted a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases that exceed $1.0 million, became effective January 1, 2023.
Use of Capital Resources. We may from time to time pursue opportunities to develop new joint venture relationships with large, regional health systems and other healthcare providers. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics and occupational health centers 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.
Liquidity
We believe our internally generated cash flows and borrowing capacity under our revolving facility will allow us to finance our operations in both the short and long term. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $111.2 million and $367.4 million of availability under the revolving facility after giving effect to $345.0 million of outstanding borrowings and $57.6 million of outstanding letters of credit.
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.
Dividend
On February 13, 2024 and May 1, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.125 per share. On March 13, 2024 and May 30, 2024, cash dividends totaling $16.0 million and $16.3 million were paid.
On July 31, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.125 per share. The dividend will be payable on or about August 30, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 14, 2024.
There is no assurance that future dividends will be declared. The declaration and payment of dividends in the future are at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including, but not limited to, our financial condition, operating results, available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, the terms of our indebtedness, and other factors our Board of Directors may deem to be relevant.
Effects of Inflation
The healthcare industry is labor intensive and our largest expenses are labor related costs. Wage and other expenses increase during periods of inflation and when labor shortages occur in the marketplace. We have recently experienced higher labor costs related to an inflationary environment and competitive labor market. In addition, suppliers have passed along rising costs to us in the form of higher prices. We cannot predict our ability to pass along cost increases to our customers.

ITEM 3. 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 our credit facilities, which bear interest rates that are indexed against Term SOFR.
At June 30, 2024, Select had outstanding borrowings under its credit facilities consisting of a $2,013.4 million term loan (excluding unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs of $12.9 million) and $345.0 million of borrowings under its revolving facility.
In order to mitigate our exposure to rising interest rates, we have an interest rate cap which limits the Term SOFR rate to 1.0% on $2.0 billion of principal outstanding under our term loan. The agreement applies to interest payments through September 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Term SOFR rate was 5.34%. As of June 30, 2024, $13.4 million of our term loan borrowings are subject to variable interest rates. Subsequent to the expiration of our interest rate cap on September 30, 2024, all of our outstanding term loan borrowings will be subject to variable interest rates.
Subsequent to the July 26, 2024 debt financing transactions discussed in “Note 15. Subsequent Events” above, each 0.25% increase in market interest rates will impact the annual interest expense on our variable rate debt by $4.2 million per year.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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, as of June 30, 2024, 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 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.
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 second quarter ended June 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.
