On Nov. 1-2, 2026, sustained torrential rains led to the flooding, evacuation and closure of Sea Pines Rehabilitation Hospital in Melbourne, Florida ("Sea Pines"). Sea Pines is a 90-bed hospital owned by a joint venture between Encompass Health and Holmes Regional Medical Center (a subsidiary of Health First). All patients were safely evacuated from Sea Pines and were either admitted to another appropriate medical facility or were discharged home. All Sea Pines employees have been accounted for. The flooding resulted in substantial damage to Sea Pines, and the hospital remains closed indefinitely. The joint venture is committed to reopening and continuing the operation of Sea Pines and is evaluating alternatives for refurbishing or replacing the hospital.

During the period of closure, Sea Pines will incur expenses related to remediation and will continue to incur certain operating expenses. Encompass Health believes these expenses are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance and therefore intends to exclude these items, as well as any related insurance proceeds, from its reported non-GAAP measures. In light of this determination, Encompass Health is reaffirming its Full-Year 2026 Guidance provided on Oct. 28, 2026.

The Company noted that for the first nine months of 2026, Sea Pines had Net operating revenue of approximately $44 million, contributed approximately $14 million to Adjusted EBITDA, and recorded 1,876 total discharges.
