Business Overview



Genesis is a healthcare services holding company that, through its subsidiaries,
owns and operates skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities and a
rehabilitation therapy business. We have an administrative services company that
provides a full complement of administrative and consultative services that
allows our affiliated operators and third-party operators with whom we contract
to better focus on delivery of healthcare services. At March 31, 2020, we
provided inpatient services through 376 skilled nursing, senior/assisted living
and behavioral health centers located in 26 states. Revenues of our owned,
leased and otherwise consolidated inpatient businesses constitute approximately
87% of our revenues.



We also provide a range of rehabilitation therapy services, including speech
pathology, physical therapy, occupational therapy and respiratory therapy. These
services are provided by rehabilitation therapists and assistants employed or
contracted at substantially all of the centers operated by us, as well as by
contract to healthcare facilities operated by others. After the elimination of
intercompany revenues, the rehabilitation therapy services business constitutes
approximately 10% of our revenues.



We provide an array of other specialty medical services, including management
services, physician services, staffing services, and other healthcare related
services, which comprise the balance of our revenues.



Significant Transactions and Events





COVID-19



On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the 2019 novel
coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. COVID-19 is a complex and previously unknown
virus which disproportionately impacts older adults, particularly those having

                                       38

  Table of Contents

other underlying health conditions. According to the WHO, up to half of the COVID-19 related deaths in European countries were individuals residing in long-term care facilities, similar to the ones we operate in the United States.

The United States broadly continues to experience the pandemic caused by
COVID-19 which has significantly disrupted, and likely will continue to disrupt
for some period, our nation's economy, the healthcare industry and our
businesses. The rapid spread of the virus has led to the implementation of
various responses, including federal, state and local government-imposed
quarantines, shelter-in-place mandates, sweeping restrictions on travel, and
substantial changes to selected protocol within the healthcare system across the
United States. A significant number of our facilities and operations are
geographically located and highly concentrated in markets with close proximity
to areas of the United States that have experienced widespread and severe
COVID-19 outbreaks.



Our primary focus as the effects of COVID-19 began to impact the United States
was the health and safety of our patients, residents, employees and their
respective families. We implemented various measures to provide the safest
possible environment within our sites of service during this pandemic and will
continue to do so.



The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that older
adults, such as our patients, are at a higher risk for serious illness and death
from COVID-19 due to the prevalence of chronic medical conditions. In addition,
our employees are at higher risk of contracting or spreading the disease due to
the nature of the work environment when caring for patients. In March 2020, in
an effort to prevent the introduction of COVID-19 into our facilities, and to
help control further exposure to infections within communities, we implemented
policies restricting visitors at all of our facilities except for essential
healthcare personnel and certain end-of-life situations. We also implemented
policies for screening employees and anyone permitted to enter the building,
implemented in-room only dining, activities programming and therapy. Upon
confirmation of a positive COVID-19 exposure at a facility, we follow government
guidance to minimize further exposure, including implementing personal
protection protocols, restricting new admissions, and isolating patients. Due to
the vulnerable nature of our patients, we expect many of these restrictions will
continue at our facilities, even as federal, state, and local stay-at-home and
social distancing orders and recommendations are relaxed. Notwithstanding these
restrictions and our other response efforts, the virus has had, and likely will
continue to have, introduction to, and transmission within, certain facilities
due to the easily transmissible nature of COVID-19.



COVID-19 has materially and adversely affected our operations and supply chains,
resulting in a reduction in our occupancy and an increase in our
expenditures. Although the ultimate impact of the pandemic remains uncertain,
the following disclosures serve to outline the estimated impact of COVID-19 on
our business through March 31, 2020, as well as further developments through the
filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the impact of
emergency legislation, temporary changes to regulations and reimbursement issued
in response to COVID-19.



Operations



Our first report of a positive case of COVID-19 in one of our facilities
occurred on March 16, 2020. Since that time, 187 of our 361 facilities have
experienced one or more positive cases of COVID-19 among patients and
residents. Over 84% of the patient and resident positive COVID-19 cases have
occurred in our facilities located in the states of New Jersey, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Maryland, which correspond to many of the
largest community outbreak areas across the country. Our facilities in these
five states represent 43% of our total operating beds.



Starting in late February 2020, our occupancy began to decrease following
efforts by referring hospitals to cancel or reschedule elective procedures in
anticipation of COVID-19 cases in their communities. Occupancy was further
decreased by implementation of self-imposed admission bans in those facilities
having exposure to positive cases of COVID-19 among patients, residents and
employees. These self-imposed restrictions on admissions were instituted to
limit risks of potential spread of the virus by individuals that either tested
positive for COVID-19, exhibited symptoms of COVID-19 but had not yet been
tested positive due to a severe shortage of testing materials, or were
asymptomatic of COVID-19 but potentially positive and contagious.



Net Revenues



We estimate that our net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were
not materially impacted by COVID-19 because revenue lost from a decline in
occupancy was offset by changes in payor mix and approximately $6 million of
COVID-19 related Medicaid reimbursement relief provided by several states in
which we operate.



                                       39

  Table of Contents

The decline in occupancy continued through late May 2020, resulting in our
skilled nursing facility operating occupancy decreasing from 88.2% for the three
months ended March 31, 2020 to 81.9% for the month ended April 30,
2020. Operating occupancy for the month ended May 31, 2020 is projected to be
approximately 76%.



The impact of COVID-19 on our net revenue for the remainder of 2020 will depend
on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted,
including new information that may emerge concerning the scope and severity of
COVID-19 and the actions taken by public and private entities in response to the
pandemic.



Operating Expenses



Beginning in early March 2020, we began to incur increases in our costs as a
result of the pandemic, with more dramatic increases occurring at facilities
with positive COVID-19 cases among patients, residents and employees. During the
three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred approximately $7 million of
incremental operating expense to prepare for and respond to the
pandemic. Increases in cost primarily stemmed from elevated labor costs,
including increased use of overtime and bonus pay, as well as a significant
increase in both the cost and usage of personal protective equipment, medical
equipment, food service supplies for staff, enhanced cleaning and environmental
sanitation costs and the impact of utilizing less efficient modes of providing
therapy in order to avoid the grouping of patients.



Such costs have escalated following March 31, 2020, and we also expect such
costs to include increased workers compensation expense, health plan expense and
consulting costs. We estimate that our operating expenses for the month ended
April 30, 2020 grew approximately $21 million due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We
are not reasonably able to predict the total amount of costs we will incur
related to the pandemic and to what extent such costs will be borne by or offset
by actions taken by public and private entities in response to the pandemic.



Strategic Partnerships



Vantage Point Partnership



On January 10, 2020, Welltower, Inc. (Welltower) sold the real estate of one
skilled nursing facility located in Massachusetts to the Vantage Point
Partnership. The sale represents the final component of a transaction that
occurred on September 12, 2019, whereby we acquired an approximately 30%
membership interest in the real estate of 18 facilities previously leased from
Welltower and Second Spring Healthcare Investments. As a result of the January
10, 2020 transaction, we will receive an annual rent credit of $0.7 million from
Welltower and recorded a gain of $0.2 million as a result of the lease
termination. The Vantage Point Partnership acquired this skilled nursing
facility for a purchase price of $9.1 million. The consolidation of this
additional skilled nursing facility primarily resulted in property and equipment
of $9.1 million, non-recourse debt of $7.3 million with the balance of the
purchase price settled primarily with proceeds held in escrow from the September
12, 2019 closing. We will continue to operate the facility under the master
lease agreement with the Vantage Point Partnership along with the other 18
facilities.



NewGen Partnership



On February 1, 2020, we transitioned operational responsibility for 19
facilities in the states of California, Washington and Nevada to New Generation
Health, LLC (NewGen). We sold the real estate and operations of six skilled
nursing facilities and transferred the leasehold rights to 13 skilled nursing,
behavioral health and assisted living facilities for $78.7 million. Net
transaction proceeds were used by us to repay indebtedness, including prepayment
fees, of $33.7 million, fund our initial 50% equity contribution and working
capital requirement of $14.9 million, and provide financing to the partnership
of $9.0 million. We recorded a gain on sale of assets and transition of leased
facilities of $58.8 million and loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.0
million. Concurrently, the facilities have entered, or will enter upon
regulatory approval, into management services agreements with NewGen for the
day-to-day operations of the facilities. We will continue to provide
administrative and back office services to the facilities pursuant to
administrative support agreements, as well as therapy services pursuant to
therapy services agreements. Subsequent to February 1, 2020, we have applied the
equity method of accounting for our 50% interest in these operations.



On May 15, 2020, we transitioned operational responsibility for four additional leased facilities in the state of California to NewGen. The four facilities generated annual revenues of $55.0 million and pre-tax loss of $0.5 million.

Divestiture of Non-Strategic Facilities





On January 31, 2020, Omega sold the real estate of one skilled nursing facility
located in Massachusetts. We leased the facility under a master lease agreement,
but closed the facility on July 1, 2019. The sale resulted in a gain on the
lease termination of $0.2 million and an annual rent credit of $0.4 million.



On February 1, 2020, we sold two owned skilled nursing facilities in North
Carolina and one owned skilled nursing facility in Maryland for $61.8
million. Proceeds were used to retire $29.1 million of HUD financed debt. The
three facilities generated revenues of $38.7 million and pre-tax income of $0.5
million. The transactions resulted in a gain on sale of $24.5 million and loss
on early extinguishment of debt of $2.6 million.



On February 26, 2020, we completed the sale of one owned HUD-insured skilled
nursing facility in California for $20.8 million. The facility had been
classified as an asset held for sale as of December 31, 2019. Proceeds were used
to retire $20.5 million of HUD financed debt. The facility generated revenues of
$14.0 million and pre-tax loss of $0.1 million. See Note 14 - "Assets Held for
Sale." The transactions resulted in a gain on sale of $3.0 million and loss on
early extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million.



On March 4, 2020, we divested the operations of one leased assisted/senior living facility in Montana. The lease termination resulted in an annual rent credit of $0.7 million. The facility generated revenues of $2.5 million and pre-tax income of $0.1 million.





On April 1, 2020, we sold two owned skilled nursing facilities in New Jersey and
one owned skilled nursing facility in Maryland for $45.8 million. Proceeds were
used to retire $15.2 million of HUD financed debt and $7.5 million of MidCap
Real Estate Loans. The three facilities generated annual revenues of $35.8
million and pre-tax income of $0.0 million. The transactions resulted in a gain
on sale of $21.8 million and loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.4
million. All three skilled nursing facilities were classified as assets held for
sale as of March 31, 2020. See Note 14 - "Assets Held For Sale."



On April 1, 2020, we divested the operations and terminated the lease of two skilled nursing facilties in Montana. The two facilities generated annual revenues of $18.8 million and pre-tax income of $0.4 million. The lease termination resulted in an annual rent credit of $1.1 million.





On April 20, 2020, we divested the operations of four skilled nursing facilities
in Florida and two skilled nursing facilities in Maryland that were subject to a
master lease with Second Spring Healthcare Investments.  The six facilities
generated annual revenues of $62.0 million and pre-tax loss of $2.3 million. The
lease termination resulted in an annual rent credit of $8.5 million.



Industry Trends and Recent Regulatory Governmental Actions Affecting Revenue

COVID-19 Regulatory and Reimbursement Relief





On March 18, 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act was enacted,
which provides a temporary 6.2% increase to each qualifying state's Medicaid
Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) effective January 1, 2020.  The
temporary FMAP increase will extend through the last day of the calendar quarter
in which the COVID-19 public health emergency declared by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), including any extensions or termination. As
part of the requirements for receiving the temporary FMAP increase, states must
cover testing services and treatments for COVID-19 and may not impose
deductibles, copayments, coinsurance or other cost sharing charges for any
quarter in which the temporarily increased FMAP is claimed.  For the three
months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized approximately $6 million of
additional FMAP reimbursement relief provided by several states in which we
operate. Since March 31, 2020, a number of additional states in which we operate
have implemented incremental FMAP related reimbursement provisions and other
forms of support to assist providers, resulting in an additional $21 million of
estimated incremental FMAP funding commitments as of the filing date of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot predict the extent to which further
FMAP funding programs will be implemented in the states in which we operate.



In further response to the pandemic, on March 27, 2020, the President signed
into law the bipartisan Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
(CARES Act). The CARES Act allocates $100 billion to a Public Health and Social
Services Emergency Fund to "reimburse, through grants or other mechanisms,
eligible health care providers for health care related expenses or lost revenues
that are attributable to coronavirus." Nursing facility operators participating
in Medicare and Medicaid may be eligible to receive compensation for costs
incurred in the course of providing medical services, such as those related to
obtaining personal protective equipment, COVID-19 related testing supplies, and
increased staffing or training, provided that such costs are

                                       41

Table of Contents

not compensated by another source. The secretary of the HHS has broad authority and discretion to determine payment eligibility and the amount of such payments.

The impacts to us of certain provisions of the CARES Act are summarized below.

· Temporary suspension of certain patient coverage criteria and documentation and

care requirements. The CARES Act and a series of temporary waivers and guidance

issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) suspend various

Medicare patient coverage criteria as well as certain documentation and care

requirements. These accommodations are intended to ensure patients have access

to care notwithstanding the burdens placed on healthcare providers due to the

COVID-19 pandemic. We believe these regulatory actions could contribute to an

increase in census volumes and skilled mix that may not otherwise have


    occurred, but cannot provide any assurance as to the impact on our businesses.




 ·  Relief Funds.  During April and May 2020, we received $180 million of relief

grants from CARES Act funds administered by the HHS. The grants are primarily

related to the skilled nursing care provided through our Inpatient Services

segment. Grants received are subject to the terms and conditions of the

program, including that such funds may only be used to prevent, prepare for,

and respond to COVID-19 and will reimburse only for health care related

expenses or lost revenues that are attributable to COVID-19. HHS continues to

evaluate and provide allocations of, and issue regulation and guidance

regarding, grants made under the Emergency Fund. We will classify receipt of


    the relief funds as revenue.



· Medicare Accelerated and Advanced Payment Program. During April 2020, we

requested and received $158 million under the Medicare Accelerated and Advance

Payment Program administered by CMS, which was temporarily expanded by the

CARES Act. Under the program, we received an interest-free advancement of 100%

of our Medicare payment amount for a three-month period. Repayments of advanced

payments are required to begin 120 days after their issuance through offsets of

new Medicare claims, and all advanced payments are due 210 days following their

issuance. Repayment of the advances we received will begin in August 2020 and


    we will classify the cash receipts as a current liability.



· Payroll Tax Deferral. Under the CARES Act, we may elect to defer payment, on an

interest free basis, of the employer portion of social security payroll taxes

incurred from March 27, 2020 to December 31, 2020. One-half of such deferral

amount will become due on each of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. We

elected to utilize this deferral program to delay payment of approximately $90

million of the employer portion of payroll taxes estimated to be incurred

between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020. The deferred payroll taxes will


    be classified as a liability.



· Temporary Suspension of Medicare Sequestration. The Budget Control Act of 2011

requires a mandatory, across the board reduction in federal spending, called a

sequestration. Medicare fee for service claims with dates of service or dates

of discharge on or after April 1, 2013 incur a 2.0% reduction in Medicare

payments. All Medicare rate payments and settlements have incurred this

mandatory reduction and it will continue to remain in place through at least

2023, unless Congress takes further action. In response to COVID-19, the CARES

Act will temporarily suspend the automatic 2.0% reduction of Medicare claim

reimbursements for the period of May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, which


    we estimate will increase our revenue $8 million over this time period.



· Employee Retention Tax Credit. We are evaluating our eligibility to claim the

employee retention tax credit under the CARES Act for certain of our employees.

The refundable tax credit is available to employers that fully or partially

suspend operations during any calendar quarter in 2020 due to orders from an

appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings

due to COVID-19, and is equal to 50% of qualified wages paid after March 12,

2020 through December 31, 2020 to qualified employees, with a maximum credit of

$5,000 per employee. Qualified employees are those who are not providing

services as a result of such orders of a government authority. There can be no


    assurances that we will qualify for the program, or the amount of any
    refundable tax credit that will be available.




Further, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act was
signed into law on April 24, 2020. Congress appropriated $75 billion for
healthcare providers through the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care
Enhancement Act. HHS is distributing this money through the Provider Relief
Fund, and these payments do not need to be repaid. While we believe that the
relief funds received by us to date under the CARES Act have primarily benefited
Medicare providers as opposed to Medicaid providers and have provided limited
support to our rehabilitation therapy services segment, we cannot predict the
extent to which any of our businesses will receive any such additional funds,
and to what extent the financial impact of receiving such funds would

                                       42

Table of Contents



effectively offset any shortfall in funds received to date as compared to the
escalation in our costs and lost revenue as a result of the broad implications
of the pandemic.


COVID-19 Reporting Requirements





On April 19, 2020, CMS announced new regulatory requirements that will require
skilled nursing homes report cases of COVID-19 directly to the CDC. This
information must be reported in accordance with existing privacy regulations and
statues. In addition, skilled nursing homes are required to inform residents,
their families and representatives of COVID-19 cases in their facilities; this
notification is required to take place by 5 PM the next calendar day following
the occurrence of a single confirmed infection of COVID-19, or of three or more
residents or staff with new-onset of respiratory symptoms that occur within 72
hours of one another. Further, the CDC will be providing a reporting tool to
skilled nursing homes that will support Federal efforts to collect nationwide
data to assist in COVID-19 surveillance and response. There could be civil
monetary penalties for not meeting these reporting requirements.



On April 30, 2020, CMS announced that it would be convening an independent
commission to conduct comprehensive assessments of nursing home responses to the
COVID-19 pandemic. The commission will consist of skilled nursing facility
residents, families, resident/patient advocates, industry experts, clinicians,
medical ethicists, administrators, academicians, infection control and
prevention professionals, state and local authorities, and other experts. The
commission is expected to develop recommendations specific to (1) protecting
residents from COVID-19 and improving the responsiveness of care delivery; (2)
strengthening regulations to enable rapid and effective identification and
mitigation of COVID-19 transmissions in nursing homes; and (3) enhancing
enforcement strategies to improve compliance with infection control policies.
Recommendations from the commission will be delivered to CMS and may be
incorporated into the regulatory framework applicable to nursing facilities.



Proposed Rule - Medicare Annual Market Basket for Fiscal Year 2021





The proposed rule provides for a net market basket increase for skilled nursing
facilities of 2.3 percent beginning October 1, 2020. This market basket update
reflects a full market basket increase of 2.7 percentage points, no forecast
error correction was incurred, and a 0.4 percentage point multifactor
productivity adjustment. CMS estimates that the net market basket update would
increase Medicare skilled nursing facility payments by approximately $784
million in fiscal year 2021.



Key Performance and Valuation Measures

In order to assess our financial performance between periods, we evaluate certain key performance and valuation measures for each of our operating segments separately for the periods presented. Results and statistics may not be comparable period-over-period due to the impact of acquisitions and dispositions, or the impact of new and lost therapy contracts.

The following is a glossary of terms for some of our key performance and valuation measures and Non-GAAP measures:





"Actual Patient Days" is defined as the number of residents occupying a bed (or
units in the case of an assisted/senior living center) for one qualifying day in
that period.



"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as EBITDA adjusted for newly acquired or
constructed businesses with start-up losses and other adjustments to provide a
supplemental performance measure. See "Reasons for Non-GAAP Financial
Disclosure" for an explanation of the adjustments and a description of our uses
of, and the limitations associated with, Non-GAAP measures.



"Adjusted EBITDAR" is defined as EBITDAR adjusted for newly acquired or
constructed businesses with start-up losses and other adjustments to provide a
supplemental valuation measure. See "Reasons for Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure"
for an explanation of the adjustments and a description of our uses of, and the
limitations associated with, Non-GAAP measures.



"Available Patient Days" is defined as the number of available beds (or units in
the case of an assisted/senior living center) multiplied by the number of days
in that period.



"Average Daily Census" or "ADC" is the number of residents occupying a bed (or
units in the case of an assisted/senior living center) over a period of time,
divided by the number of calendar days in that period.

                                       43

 "EBITDA" is defined as EBITDAR less lease expense. See "Reasons for Non-GAAP
Financial Disclosure" for an explanation of the adjustments and a description of
our uses of, and the limitations associated with Non-GAAP measures.



"EBITDAR" is defined as net income or loss attributable to Genesis Healthcare,
Inc. before net income or loss of non-controlling interests, net income or loss
from discontinued operations, depreciation and amortization expense, interest
expense and lease expense. See "Reasons for Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure" for
an explanation of the adjustments and a description of our uses of, and the
limitations associated with Non-GAAP measures.



"Insurance" refers collectively to commercial insurance and managed care payor sources, including Medicare Advantage beneficiaries, but does not include managed care payors serving Medicaid residents, which are included in the Medicaid category.

"Occupancy Percentage" is measured as the percentage of Actual Patient Days relative to the Available Patient Days.

"Skilled Mix" refers collectively to Medicare and Insurance payor sources.





"Therapist Efficiency" is computed by dividing billable labor minutes related to
patient care and customer value added services by total labor minutes for the
period.

Reasons for Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure





The following discussion includes references to Adjusted EBITDAR, EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures (collectively, Non-GAAP
Financial Measures). A Non-GAAP Financial Measure is a numerical measure of a
registrant's historical or future financial performance, financial position and
cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the
effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable
financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the
statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent
statements) of the registrant; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments
that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most
directly comparable financial measure so calculated and presented. In this
regard, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States. We have provided reconciliations of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.



We believe the presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures provides useful
information to investors regarding our results of operations because these
financial measures are useful for trending, analyzing and benchmarking the
performance and value of our business. By excluding certain expenses and other
items that may not be indicative of our core business operating results, these
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:


?allow investors to evaluate our performance from management's perspective, resulting in greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by us in our financial and operational decision making;

?facilitate comparisons with prior periods and reflect the principal basis on which management monitors financial performance;

?facilitate comparisons with the performance of others in the post-acute industry;

?provide better transparency as to the measures used by management and others who follow our industry to estimate the value of our company; and



?allow investors to view our financial performance and condition in the same
manner as our significant landlords and lenders require us to report financial
information to them in connection with determining our compliance with financial
covenants.



We use two Non-GAAP Financial Measures primarily (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA) as
performance measures and believe that the GAAP financial measure most directly
comparable to these two Non-GAAP Financial Measures is net income (loss)
attributable to Genesis Healthcare, Inc. We use one Non-GAAP Financial Measure
(Adjusted EBITDAR) as a valuation measure and believe that the GAAP financial
measure most directly comparable to this Non-GAAP Financial Measures is net
income (loss) attributable to Genesis Healthcare, Inc.  We use Non-GAAP
Financial Measures to assess the value of our business and the performance of
our operating businesses, as well as the employees responsible for operating
such businesses. Non-GAAP Financial Measures are useful in this regard because
they do not include such costs as interest expense, income taxes and
depreciation and amortization expense which may vary from business unit to
business unit depending upon such factors as the method used to finance the
original purchase of the business unit or the tax law in the state in which a
business unit operates. By excluding such factors when measuring financial
performance, many of which are outside of the control of the employees
responsible for operating our business units, we are better able to evaluate
value and the operating performance of the business unit and the employees
responsible for business unit performance. Consequently, we use these Non-GAAP
Financial Measures to determine the extent to which our employees have met
performance goals, and therefore the extent to which they may or may not be
eligible for incentive compensation awards.



We also use Non-GAAP Financial Measures in our annual budget process. We believe
these Non-GAAP Financial Measures facilitate internal comparisons to historical
operating performance of prior periods and external comparisons to competitors'
historical operating performance. The presentation of these Non-GAAP Financial
Measures is consistent with our past practice and we believe these measures
further enable investors and analysts to compare current Non-GAAP measures with
Non-GAAP measures presented in prior periods.



Although we use Non-GAAP Financial Measures as financial measures to assess
value and the performance of our business, the use of these Non-GAAP Financial
Measures is limited because they do not consider certain material costs
necessary to operate the business. These costs include our lease expense (only
in the case of Adjusted EBITDAR), the cost to service debt, the depreciation and
amortization associated with our long-lived assets, losses on early
extinguishment of debt, transaction costs, long-lived asset

                                       46

impairment charges, federal and state income tax expenses, the operating results
of our discontinued businesses and the income or loss attributable to
noncontrolling interests. Because Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not consider
these important elements of our cost structure, a user of our financial
information who relies on Non-GAAP Financial Measures as the only measures of
our performance could draw an incomplete or misleading conclusion regarding our
financial performance. Consequently, a user of our financial information should
consider net income (loss) attributable to Genesis Healthcare, Inc. as an
important measure of our financial performance because it provides the most
complete measure of our performance.



Other companies may define Non-GAAP Financial Measures differently and, as a
result, our Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be directly comparable to those
of other companies. Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not represent net income
(loss), as defined by GAAP. Non-GAAP Financial Measures should be considered in
addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP Financial Measures.



We use the following Non-GAAP Financial Measures that we believe are useful to investors as key valuation and operating performance measures:





EBITDA



We believe EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating
performance because it helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our
operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure
(interest expense) and our asset base (depreciation and amortization expense)
from our operating results. In addition, financial covenants in our debt
agreements use EBITDA as a measure of compliance.



Adjustments to EBITDA



We adjust EBITDA when evaluating our performance because we believe that the
exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful
supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating
performance, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the presentation of
Adjusted EBITDA, when combined with GAAP net loss attributable to Genesis
Healthcare, Inc., and EBITDA, is beneficial to an investor's complete
understanding of our operating performance. In addition, such adjustments are
substantially similar to the adjustments to EBITDA provided for in the financial
covenant calculations contained in our lease and debt agreements.



We adjust EBITDA for the following items:

· Loss on early extinguishment of debt. We recognize gains or losses on the early

extinguishment of debt when we refinance our debt prior to its original term,

requiring us to write-off any unamortized deferred financing fees. We exclude

the effect of gains or losses recorded on the early extinguishment of debt


    because we believe these gains and losses do not accurately reflect the
    underlying performance of our operating businesses.



· Other income. We primarily use this income statement caption to capture gains

and losses on the sale or disposition of assets. We exclude the effect of such

gains and losses because we believe they do not accurately reflect the

underlying performance of our operating businesses.

· Transaction costs. In connection with our restructuring, acquisition and

disposition transactions, we incur costs consisting of investment banking,

legal, transaction-based compensation and other professional service costs. We

exclude restructuring, acquisition and disposition related transaction costs

expensed during the period because we believe these costs do not reflect the


    underlying performance of our operating businesses.



· Long-lived asset impairments. We exclude non-cash long-lived asset impairment

charges because we believe including them does not reflect the ongoing

performance of our operating businesses. Additionally, such impairment charges

represent accelerated depreciation expense, and depreciation expense is also


    excluded from EBITDA.



· Severance and restructuring. We exclude severance costs from planned reduction

in force initiatives associated with restructuring activities intended to

adjust our cost structure in response to changes in the business

environment. We believe these costs do not reflect the underlying performance

of our operating businesses. We do not exclude severance costs that are not

associated with such restructuring activities.

· Income (loss) of newly acquired, constructed or divested businesses. The

acquisition and construction of new businesses is an element of our growth

strategy. Many of the businesses we acquire have a history of operating losses

and continue to generate operating losses in the months that follow our

acquisition. Newly constructed or developed businesses also generate losses

while in their start-up phase. We view these losses as both temporary and an

expected component of our long-term investment in the new venture. We adjust

these losses when computing Adjusted EBITDA in order to better analyze the

performance of our mature ongoing business. The activities of such businesses

are adjusted when computing Adjusted EBITDA until such time as a new business

generates positive Adjusted EBITDA. The divestiture of underperforming or

non-strategic facilities is also an element of our business strategy. We

eliminate the results of divested facilities beginning in the quarter in which

they become divested. We view the income or losses associated with the

wind-down of such divested facilities as not indicative of the performance of


    our ongoing operating business.



· Stock-based compensation. We exclude stock-based compensation expense because

it does not result in an outlay of cash and such non-cash expenses do not


    reflect the underlying performance of our operating businesses.



· Impact of COVID-19. We excluded the net impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our

revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 due to the

extraordinary nature of the virus and its impact across the globe. We view the

incremental expenses, lost revenue and government relief grants as not

indicative of the underlying potential long-term performance of our operating


    businesses.




Adjusted EBITDAR



We use Adjusted EBITDAR as one measure in determining the value of our business
and the value of prospective acquisitions or divestitures. Adjusted EBITDAR is
also a commonly used measure to estimate the enterprise value of businesses in
the healthcare and other industries. In addition, financial covenants in our
lease agreements use Adjusted EBITDAR as a measure of compliance. The
adjustments made and previously described in the computation of Adjusted EBITDA
are also made when computing Adjusted EBITDAR.



Supplemental Information



We provide supplemental information about certain capital costs we believe are
beneficial to an investor's understanding of our capital structure and cash
flows. This supplemental information includes (1) cash interest payments on our
recourse and HUD guaranteed indebtedness (2) cash rent payments made to
partially owned real estate joint ventures that is eliminated in consolidation,
net of any distributions returned to us, and (3) total cash lease payments made
pursuant to operating leases and finance leases.



This supplemental information is used by us to evaluate our leverage, fixed
charge coverage and cash flow. This supplemental information is consistent with
information used by our major creditors in evaluating compliance with financial
covenants contained in our material lease and loan agreements.

Results of Operations



Same-store Presentation



We continue to execute on a strategic plan which includes expansion in core
markets and operating segments which we believe will enhance the value of our
business in the ever-changing landscape of national healthcare. We are also
focused on "right-sizing" our operations to fit that new environment and to
divest underperforming and non-strategic assets, many of which were consolidated
as part of larger acquisitions in recent years to achieve the net overall growth
strategy.



We define our same-store inpatient operations as those skilled nursing and
assisted/senior living centers which have been operated by us, in a
steady-state, for each comparable period in this Results of Operations
discussion. We exclude from that definition those skilled nursing and
assisted/senior living facilities recently acquired that were not operated by us
for the entire period, as well as those that were divested prior to or during
the most recent period presented. In cases where we are developing new skilled
nursing or assisted/senior living centers, those operations are excluded from
our "same-store" inpatient operations until the revenue driven by operating
patient census is stable in the comparable periods.



Since the nature of our rehabilitation therapy services operations experiences
high volume of both new and terminated contracts in an annual cycle, and the
scale and significance of those contracts can be very different to both the
revenue and operating expenses of that business, a same-store presentation based
solely on the contract or gym count does not provide an accurate depiction of
the business. Accordingly, we do not reference same-store figures in this MD&A
with regard to that business.



The volume of services delivered in our other services businesses can also be
affected by strategic transactional activity. To the extent there are businesses
to be excluded to achieve same-store comparability those will be noted in the
context of the Results of Operations discussion.

Impact of COVID-19 on Results of Operations





The COVID-19 pandemic will impact the comparability of our 2020 financial
results with those of other periods. That reduced comparability will be
highlighted in the discussion of our results of operations, separate from our
same-store presentation. For more information about the COVID-19 pandemic and
its impact on our results of operations and financial position, see "COVID-19"
described more fully in this MD&A.

additional $12.3 million of the increase in the three months ended March 31,
2020 is attributed to the transition from the resource utilization group based
reimbursement to the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM) reimbursement
methodology in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. During the three months ended
March 31, 2020, and more specifically during the month of March, the inpatient
service revenues were negatively impacted by COVID-19, resulting in a reduction
of $0.8 million as compared with the same period in 2019. The remaining $31.2
million same-store increase is due to increasing census volume and payor rates,
primarily in our Medicaid population, partially offset by continued decline in
the skilled mix of our inpatient facilities. For the past several years, census
and skilled mix trends have been affected by healthcare reforms resulting in
lower lengths of stay among our skilled patient population and lower admissions
caused by initiatives among acute care providers, managed care payors and
conveners to divert certain skilled nursing referrals to home health or other
community-based care settings. While overall census recovered as compared with
the preceding year, the skilled mix continued to decline. For the three months
ended March 31, 2020, we saw overall same-store occupancy rates exceed that of
the same period in 2018 by nearly 120 basis points. However, at the

                                       51

same time, same-store skilled mix for the three months ended March 31, 2020 lagged behind that of the same period in 2019 by 100 basis points. COVID-19 will likely disrupt this favorable overall census trend but may have a positive impact on the skilled mix of our inpatient facilities as a result of the temporary change to patient coverage criteria.





For an expanded discussion regarding the factors influencing our operating
census and challenges to our ability to grow inpatient service revenues, see
Item 1, "Business - Industry Trends" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
with the SEC, "Key Performance and Valuation Measures" in this MD&A for
quantification of the census trends and revenue per patient day as well as
"COVID-19" in this MD&A.



Rehabilitation Therapy Services - Revenue decreased $15.4 million, or 12.7%
comparing the three months ended March 31, 2020 with the same period in 2019.
Of that decrease, $7.3 million is due to lost contract business, offset by $6.9
million attributed to new contracts. COVID-19 began to impact the skilled
nursing customers of our rehabilitation services at an accelerating rate by
March 2020, resulting in a decrease of revenue of $2.9 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019. The
remaining decrease of $12.1 million is principally due to reduced volume of
services provided to existing customers and amended customer pricing terms in
connection with the implementation of PDPM.



Other Services - Revenue increased $0.5 million, or 1.6% in the three months
ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019. Our other
services revenue is comprised mainly of our physician services and staffing
services businesses, in addition to our Accountable Care Organization (ACO). In
the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the ACO did not recognize any
revenue under the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP). We are participating
in the MSSP in 2020; however, uncertainty around how the 2020 MSSP will perform
in light of COVID-19 precludes us from recognizing any savings to the Medicare
program at this stage. Revenue in our physician services business increased $1.5
million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same
period in 2019. The remaining decrease of revenue of $1.0 million is in our
staffing services business, which has shifted its focus to developing its
services to our affiliated nursing facilities and therapy gyms. While the
staffing business gross revenue has increased over 43% in the three months ended
March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019, its revenue from
external customers has decreased 9.1% over that same period. Further penetration
of the internal staffing needs is a strategic goal for our staffing business,
and, if successful, it will provide a benefit to our inpatient and
rehabilitation therapy segments to combat a historically strong labor market and
accelerating wage pressures.



EBITDA



EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased by $35.5 million, or
54.8%, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2019.  Excluding the
impact of loss on early extinguishment of debt, other (income) loss, transaction
costs and long-lived asset impairments, EBITDA decreased $14.4 million, or 29.4%
when compared with the same period in 2019. The contributing factors for this
net decrease are described in our discussion below of segment results and
corporate overhead.



Inpatient Services - EBITDA increased by $52.1 million, or 70.9% for the three
months ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019.  Excluding
the impact of other (income) loss and long-lived asset impairments, EBITDA as
adjusted decreased $6.4 million, or 11.4% when compared with the same period in
2019. On a same-store basis, the inpatient EBITDA as adjusted increased $3.9
million. Of that same-store increase, lease expense increased $4.3 million,
primarily due to lease amendments in 2019 resulting in certain financing leases
being reclassified as operating leases. Our self-insurance programs, including
general and professional liability, workers' compensation and health insurance
benefits, resulted in a decrease of $5.3 million EBITDA as adjusted in the three
months ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019. While our
self-insurance programs are performing as anticipated and within normal claims
reporting patterns of our same-store operations, the provision for general and
professional liability recorded in the comparable period in 2019 reflects the
favorable claims development and accelerated claims settlement initiative in the
prior year. COVID-19 has resulted in same-store reduction in EBITDA of $4.4
million as a result of the impact on our operating census and escalating costs
of caring for our skilled nursing patients in buildings with a COVID-19 positive
population. Same-store staffing costs, net of nursing agency and other purchased
services and adjusted for the impact of COVID-19, increased $30.3
million. Nursing wage inflation increased 5.7% while non-nursing wage inflation
increased 2.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the
same period in 2019. The introduction of the new provider tax program in New
Mexico resulted in an increase of EBITDA of $4.7 million compared to the same
period in 2019 before the program was enacted. The remaining $41.5 million
increase in EBITDA, as adjusted, of the segment is attributed to ongoing expense
management, reduced therapy services cost due to the implementation of PDPM and
increased census volume in our skilled nursing facilities, partially offset by
the continued pressures on skilled mix of our inpatient facilities described
above under "Net Revenues."

  Table of Contents



Rehabilitation Therapy Services - EBITDA decreased by $5.4 million, or 20.0%,
for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in
2019.  Lost therapy contracts exceeded new contracts by $1.6 million in the
three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in
2019. COVID-19 resulted in a decrease of EBITDA of $2.4 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2020. The remaining decrease of $1.4 million is
principally attributed to reduced service volume and pricing to existing
customers related to the implementation of PDPM, partially offset by overhead
cost reductions. Therapist efficiency improved to 70.9% in the three months
ended March 31, 2020 compared with 68.1% in the comparable period in the prior
year.



Other Services - EBITDA increased $1.0 million, or 325.8%, for the three months
ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019.  The EBITDA of
our staffing services business increased $1.1 million in the three months ended
March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019, principally due to
growth in its services with affiliated customers. The remaining decrease of $0.1
million pertains to our physician services business.



Corporate and Eliminations - EBITDA decreased $12.4 million, or 35.1%, for the
three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019.
EBITDA of our corporate function includes loss on early extinguishment of debt
and losses associated with transactions that are outside of the scope of our
reportable segments. These and other transactions, which are separately
captioned in our consolidated statements of operations and described more fully
above in our Reasons for Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure, contributed $8.4 million
of the net decrease in EBITDA. Corporate overhead costs increased $4.1 million,
or 11.5%, in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same
period in 2019. This increase is principally due to investments in information
technology and related upgrades. The remaining increase in EBITDA of $0.1
million is primarily the result of an increase in investment earnings from our
unconsolidated affiliates accounted for on the equity method and other
investments.



Other (income) loss - Consistent with our strategy to divest assets in
non-strategic markets, we incur losses and generate gains resulting from the
sale, transition or closure of underperforming operations and assets. Other
(income) loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 principally represents
gains on sales of real estate and leasehold rights in the period. See also Note
12 - "Other Income."



Transaction costs - In the normal course of business, we evaluate strategic
acquisition, disposition and business development opportunities. The costs to
pursue these opportunities, when incurred, vary from period to period depending
on the nature of the transaction pursued and if those transactions are ever
completed. Transaction costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2020
and 2019 were $5.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively.



Long-lived asset impairments - In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we
recognized impairments of property and equipment and right-of-use (ROU) assets
of $9.7 million. For more information about the conditions of the business which
contributed to these impairments, see "Industry Trends and Recent Regulatory
Governmental Actions Affecting Revenue" and "Financial Condition and Liquidity
Considerations" in this MD&A, as well as Note 13 - "Asset Impairment Charges -
Long-Lived Assets with a Definite Useful Life."



Other Expense



The following discussion applies to the consolidated expense categories between
EBITDA and net income (loss) of all reportable segments, corporate and
eliminations in our consolidating statement of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period in 2019.

Depreciation and amortization - Each of our reportable segments and corporate
overhead have depreciating property, plant and equipment, including amortization
of finance lease ROU assets. Our rehabilitation therapy services and other
services have identifiable intangible assets which amortize over the estimated
life of those identifiable assets. Depreciation and amortization expense
decreased $12.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared
with the same period in 2019.  On a same-store basis, depreciation and
amortization decreased $10.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as
compared with the same period in 2019. In the inpatient services segment, $9.9
million of the decrease is principally due to prior year acceleration offset by
current year acceleration related to multiple lease transactions. The remaining
$0.9 million of decrease is principally due to asset impairments and assets
reaching the end of their depreciable term.



                                       53

  Table of Contents

Interest expense - Interest expense includes the cash interest and non-cash
adjustments required to account for our debt instruments, as well as the expense
associated with leases accounted for as finance leases. Interest expense
decreased $15.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared
with the same period 2019.  On a same-store basis, interest expense is down
$12.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same
period in 2019.   An increase of $4.1 million of interest expense is attributed
to consolidating debt and the associated interest expense of two real-estate
partnerships in 2019, which were determined to be variable interest entities
(VIEs) of which we are the primary beneficiary. See Note 1 - "General
Information - Basis of Presentation" and Note 9 - "Long-Term Debt." The
remaining decrease in interest expense of $16.4 million is principally due to
lease amendments entered in 2019 and early 2020 that resulted in modifications
to the accounting for certain leases, converting them from financing leases with
interest expense to operating leases presented as lease expense.



Income tax benefit - For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded
income tax benefit of $0.8 million from continuing operations representing an
effective tax rate of (2.1)% compared to an income tax benefit of $0.1 million
from continuing operations, representing an effective tax rate of (0.2)% for the
same period in 2019.  There is a full valuation allowance against our deferred
tax assets, excluding our deferred tax asset on our Bermuda captive insurance
company's discounted unpaid loss reserve. Previously, in assessing the
requirement for, and amount of, a valuation allowance in accordance with the
standard, we determined it was more likely than not we would not realize our
deferred tax assets and established a valuation allowance against the deferred
tax assets. As of March 31, 2020, we have determined that the valuation
allowance is still necessary.



Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Genesis Healthcare, Inc.





The following discussion applies to categories between net income (loss) and net
income (loss) attributable to Genesis Healthcare, Inc. in our consolidated
statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared
with the same period in 2019.



Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests - On February 2,
2015, FC-GEN Operations Investment, LLC (FC-GEN) combined with Skilled
Healthcare Group, Inc. and the combined results were consolidated with
approximately 42.0% direct noncontrolling economic interest shown as
noncontrolling interest in the financial statements of the combined entity. The
direct noncontrolling economic interest is in the form of Class C common stock
of FC-GEN that are exchangeable on a 1-to-1 basis to our public shares. The
direct noncontrolling economic interest will continue to decrease as Class C
common stock of FC-GEN are exchanged for public shares. Since the combination,
there have been conversions of 8.5 million Class C common stock, leaving a
remaining direct noncontrolling economic interest of approximately 33.7%. For
the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, income (loss) of $5.9 million
and $(10.3) million, respectively, has been attributed to the Class C common
stock.



In addition to the noncontrolling interests attributable to the Class C common
stock holders, our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all
entities controlled by us through our ownership of a majority voting interest
and the accounts of any VIEs where we are subject to a majority of the risk of
loss from the VIE's activities, or entitled to receive a majority of the
entity's residual returns, or both. We adjust net income attributable to Genesis
Healthcare, Inc. to exclude the net income attributable to the third party
ownership interests of the VIEs. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and
2019, (loss) income of $(0.7) million and $0.4 million, respectively, has been
attributed to these unaffiliated third parties.



Liquidity and Capital Resources





Cash Flow and Liquidity



The following table presents selected data from our consolidated statements of
cash flows (in thousands):




                                                                Three months ended March 31,
                                                                  2020                2019
Net cash provided by operating activities                    $        15,250     $        12,146
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities                  114,936           (203,419)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities                (134,439)             147,501
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted
cash and equivalents                                                 (4,253)            (43,772)
Beginning of period                                                  125,806             142,276
End of period                                                $       121,553     $        98,504




Net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31,
2020 increased $3.1 million compared with the same period in 2019. The three
months ended March 31, 2020 are highlighted by a decrease in cash used of $26.0
million for

                                       54

  Table of Contents

payments on accounts payable and other accrued expenses and other partially offset by a decrease in cash provided of $13.7 million for the collection of outstanding accounts receivable.





Net cash provided by investing activities in the three months ended March 31,
2020 was $114.9 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of
$203.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. Routine capital
expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $2.3 million
as compared with the same period in the prior year.  Net sales and maturities of
marketable securities of $7.1 million in 2020 exceeded net purchases of
marketable securities of $6.4 million in 2019, resulting in a net change in cash
provided of $13.5 million.  In the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were
asset purchases of $9.1 million as a result of the acquisition of one skilled
nursing facility by the consolidated Vantage Point Partnership as described in
"Significant Transaction and Events - Strategic Partnerships - Vantage Point
Partnership" compared to asset sales of $161.4 million comprised of the real
property of 10 owned facilities and leasehold rights of 13 leased facilities
described in "Significant Transaction and Events - Strategic Partnerships -
NewGen Partnership". In the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were asset
purchases of $252.5 million by the consolidated Next Partnership and its
acquisition of 22 skilled nursing facilities and asset sale proceeds of $79.0
million resulting from the simultaneous sale of seven skilled nursing
facilities. The three months ended March 31, 2020 also included cash used of
$14.9 million for an investment in a new joint venture and cash used of $9.0
million extending the new joint venture a loan as described in "Significant
Transaction and Events - Strategic Partnerships - NewGen Partnership." The
remaining incremental source of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as
compared to the same period in the prior year of $0.7 million was due primarily
to restricted deposit activity.



Net cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2020
was $134.4 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of
$147.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The net increase in
cash used in financing activities of $281.9 million is principally attributed to
debt repayments exceeding debt borrowings in the three months ended March 31,
2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. In the three months ended March 31,
2020, we had proceeds from the issuance of debt of $7.3 million by the
consolidated Vantage Point Partnership. In the three months ended March 31,
2019, we had proceeds from the issuance of debt of $170.6 million primarily from
the consolidated Next Partnership.  Repayment of long-term debt in the three
months ended March 31, 2020 was $89.7 million compared to $4.5 million in the
same period of the prior year. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we
repaid $59.3 million in HUD-insured loans, $14.1 million in MidCap Real Estate
Loans, $9.0 million in Welltower Real Estate Loans and $6.0 million in a
short-term note payable using proceeds from the sale of 10 facilities. The
remaining decrease in cash used to repay long-term debt of $3.2 million relates
to a decrease in routine debt payments. In the three months ended March 31,
2020, we had net repayments under the revolving credit facilities of $50.1
million as compared with $31.7 million of net repayments under the revolving
credit facilities in the same period in 2019. In the three months ended March
31, 2020, we paid debt issuance costs of $0.2 million from the consolidated
Vantage Point Partnership.  In the three months ended March 31, 2019, we paid
debt issuance costs of $3.7 million from the consolidated Next Partnership. In
the three months ended March 31, 2019, we received contributions from a
noncontrolling interest for $18.5 million resulting from the aforementioned Next
Partnership.


Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and borrowings under our asset based lending facilities (ABL Credit Facilities).

The objectives of our capital planning strategy are to ensure we maintain adequate liquidity and flexibility. Pursuing and achieving those objectives allow us to support the execution of our operating and strategic plans and weather temporary disruptions in the capital markets and general business environment. Maintaining adequate liquidity is a function of our results of operations, restricted and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and our available borrowing capacity.





At March 31, 2020, we had total liquidity of $94.4 million consisting of cash on
hand of $62.3 million and available borrowings under our ABL Credit Facilities
of $32.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we maintained
liquidity sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and
development activities.



COVID-19 Impact on Liquidity



We have taken, and will continue to take, actions to enhance and preserve our
liquidity in response to the pandemic.    Since March 31, 2020, our historical
sources of liquidity have been supplemented by grants and advanced Medicare
payments under programs expanded or created under the CARES Act. Specifically,
in April 2020, we applied for and received $158 million of advanced Medicare
payments and in April and May 2020 we received approximately $180 million of
relief grants. In addition, we have elected to implement the CARES Act payroll
tax deferral program, which is expected to preserve on an interest free basis

                                       55

  Table of Contents

approximately $90 million of cash representing the employer portion of payroll
taxes estimated to be incurred between March 27, 2020 and December 31,
2020.  The advance Medicare payments, which are also interest free, will be
repaid between August 2020 and November 2020, while one-half of the payroll tax
deferral amount will become due on each of December 31, 2021 and December 31,
2022.  In addition to relief funding under the CARES Act, funding has been
committed by a number of states in which we operate, currently estimated at $27
million.



We continue to seek opportunities to enhance and preserve our liquidity,
including through reducing expenses, continuing to evaluate our capital
structure and seeking further government-sponsored financial relief related to
the pandemic. We cannot provide assurance that such efforts will be successful
or adequate to offset the lost revenue and escalating operating expenses as a
result of the pandemic.



Financing Activities


Divestiture of Non-Strategic Facilities





Consistent with our strategy to divest assets in non-strategic markets, we have
exited 39 inpatient operations, including 32 skilled nursing facilities, two
assisted/senior living facilities and five behavioral health centers in eight
states beginning January 1, 2020 through May 15, 2020, including:



· The sale of three owned skilled nursing facilities located in North Carolina

and Maryland on February 1, 2020. A gain was recognized totaling $24.9 million.

· The transition of operational responsibility for 19 facilities in the states of

California, Washington and Nevada to NewGen on February 1, 2020. The

transaction included the sale of the real estate and operations of six skilled

nursing facilities and transfer of the leasehold rights to seven skilled

nursing, five behavioral health center and one assisted living facility.

· The sale of one owned skilled nursing facility located in California on

February 26, 2020. A gain was recognized totaling $3.0 million.

· The lease termination of one assisted/senior living facility located in Montana

on March 4, 2020. A de minimis loss was recognized.

· The sale of three owned skilled nursing facilities located in New Jersey and

Maryland on April 1, 2020. A gain was recognized totaling $21.8 million.

· The lease termination of two skilled nursing facilities located in Montana on

April 1, 2020.

· The lease termination of six skilled nursing facilities located in Florida and

Maryland on April 20, 2020.

· The transition of operational responsibility for four additional leased


    facilities in California to NewGen on May 15, 2020.




Financial Covenants



The ABL Credit Facilities, the Term Loan Agreement and the Welltower Real Estate
Loans (collectively, the Credit Facilities) each contain a number of financial,
affirmative and negative covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, a
minimum interest coverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and
minimum liquidity. At March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all of the
financial covenants contained in the Credit Facilities.



We have master lease agreements with Welltower, Omega and Second Spring
Healthcare Investments (collectively, the Master Lease Agreements). Our Master
Lease Agreements each contain a number of financial, affirmative and negative
covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio, and minimum liquidity. At March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the
covenants contained in the Master Lease Agreements.



We have two master lease agreements with Cindat Best Years Welltower JV LLC
involving 28 of our facilities. We did not meet certain financial covenants
contained in one of the master lease agreements involving two of our facilities
at March 31, 2020. On May 4, 2020, we received a waiver for these covenant
breaches through July 1, 2021.  At March 31, 2020, we are in compliance with the
financial covenants contained in the other master lease agreement.



At March 31, 2020, we did not meet certain financial covenants contained in one
lease related to two of our facilities. We are, and expect to continue to be,
current in the timely payment of our obligations under such leases. These leases
do not have cross-default provisions, nor do they trigger cross-default
provisions in any of our other loan or lease agreements. We will continue to

                                       56

  Table of Contents

work with the related credit parties to amend such leases and the related financial covenants. We do not believe the breach of such financial covenants has a material adverse impact on us at March 31, 2020.





Our ability to maintain compliance with our covenants depends in part on
management's ability to increase revenue and control costs, and the extent to
which our efforts and the impact of government-sponsored financial relief
related to the COVID-19 pandemic aqequately offset lost revenue and higher costs
caused by the pandemic. Due to continuing changes in the healthcare industry, as
well as the uncertainty with respect to changing referral patterns, patient mix,
and reimbursement rates, it is possible that future operating performance may
not generate sufficient operating results to maintain compliance with our
quarterly covenant compliance requirements. Should we fail to comply with our
covenants at a future measurement date, we would, absent necessary and timely
waivers and/or amendments, be in default under certain of our existing credit
agreements. To the extent any cross-default provisions may apply, the default
would have an even more significant impact on our financial position.



Concentration of Credit Risk



We are exposed to the credit risk of our third-party customers, many of whom are
in similar lines of business as us and are exposed to the same systemic industry
risks of operations as we are, resulting in a concentration of risk. These
include organizations that utilize our rehabilitation services, staffing
services and physician service offerings, engage in similar business activities
or have economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual
obligations, including those to us, to be similarly affected by changes in
regulatory and systemic industry conditions.



Management assesses its exposure to loss on accounts at the customer level. The
greatest concentration of risk exists in our rehabilitation therapy services
business where we have over 140 distinct customers, many being chain operators
with more than one location. One customer, which is a related party of ours,
comprises $30.1 million, or approximately 36%, of the gross outstanding contract
receivables in the rehabilitation services business at March 31, 2020.  See Note
11 - "Related Party Transactions."  A future adverse event impacting this
customer or several other large customers resulting in their insolvency or other
economic distress would have a material impact on us.



Financial Condition and Liquidity Considerations





The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course
of business.



In evaluating our ability to continue as a going concern, management considered
the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern for 12 months following the date our financial
statements were issued (May 27, 2020). Management considered the recent results
of operations as well as our current financial condition and liquidity sources,
including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and our
conditional and unconditional obligations due before May 27, 2021. Based upon
such considerations, management determined that there are no known or knowable
conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern for 12 months following the date of issuance of these
financial statements (May 27, 2020).



Our results of operations continue to be negatively impacted by the persistent
pressure of healthcare reforms enacted in recent years and more recently by the
COVID-19 pandemic. This challenging operating environment has been most acute in
our inpatient segment, but also has had a detrimental effect on our
rehabilitation therapy segment and its customers. In recent years, we have
implemented a number of cost mitigation strategies to offset the negative
financial implications of this challenging operating environment and with
respect to COVID-19, we have access to certain grants and subsidy programs by
federal and state governments. These strategies have been successful in recent
years, however, the negative impact of continued reductions in skilled patient
admissions, shortening lengths of stay, escalating wage inflation and
professional liability losses, combined with the increased cost of capital
through escalating lease payments, persists.



We expect to continue to pursue cost mitigation and other strategies in response
to the operating environment and liquidity requirements. Although we are and
project to be in compliance with all of our material debt and lease covenants
through May 27, 2021, the ongoing uncertainty related to the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing healthcare reform initiatives may have an adverse
impact on our ability to remain in compliance with the covenants. Should we fail
to comply with our debt and lease covenants at a future measurement date we
could, absent necessary and timely waivers and/or amendments, be in default
under

certain of our existing debt and lease agreements. To the extent any cross-default provisions apply, the default could have a more significant impact on our financial position.





Risk and Uncertainties



Although we are in compliance and project to be in compliance with our material
debt and lease covenants, the ongoing uncertainty related to the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing healthcare reform initiatives may have an adverse
impact on our ability to remain in compliance with our covenants. Such
uncertainty includes changes in reimbursement patterns, patient admission
patterns, bundled payment arrangements, as well as potential changes to the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, among others.



There can be no assurance that the confluence of these and other factors will not impede our ability to meet our debt and lease covenants in the future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements





As of March 31, 2020, we were subject to two lease guarantees whereby we
guarantee all payments and performance obligations of two facilities leased by
the NewGen Partnership. As of March 31, 2020, the two leases have undiscounted
cash rent obligations remaining of $29.4 million. As of December 31, 2019, we
were not involved in any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a material current or future impact on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expense, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
