Our new goal is to reach 775 BD FTE’s by 4Q’17 BD Turnover BD vacancy rate at 4.8% (end of June) below our goal of 6%. We have seen a drop in BD turnover each of the last three months as our hiring and retention efforts are taking hold HCHB 2.0 Re-training the field to become system “super-users” or drive more efficiencies and organizational standardization. Cost Initiatives Execution on cost containment initiatives has been successful to date– we continue to be on pace to deliver targeted savings by 4Q’17 Accounts Receivable DSO remained steady at 40. DSO excluding impact of FL ZPIC was 38.7. Expect to reduce DSO to more normalized levels by end of year.

If HHGM is part of the proposed rule, we will oppose it Focus of 2H’17 has shifted to HCHB 2.0 training – proof will be in productivity gains A/R increase related to process changes from HCHB implementation (billing from two systems until AMS2 wind down). Goal to drive DSO number down to mid 30’s by 2H’17

Slide 12

Driving Top Line Growth: How BD Heads Will Drive Growth We will exit July with 750 BD FTEs. As we continue to ramp BD heads with the goal of reaching a net 775 in 4Q’17, and assuming a normal productivity level, we will achieve our Episodic growth targets of 2-3% in 3Q’17 and 4-6% in 4Q’17 Quarter Episodic Growth Rate 1Q16 4.4% 2Q16 5.3% 3Q16 3.2% 4Q16 3.6% 1Q17 3.2% 2Q17 (1%) 3Q17(P) 2-3% 4Q17(P) 4-6% Assuming a normal level of BD productivity (24.8 – 25.3 admits / BD FTE) and if we continue to hire and retain BD staff, we will achieve between 2-3% episodic growth for 3Q’17 and 4-6% for 4Q’17 Productivity normalization expected as ramp in new BD FTEs continues Dotted lines represent projections Dotted lines represent projections


Slide 13

Debt and Liquidity Metrics Low debt levels (0.3x) and strong free cash flow ($34M in 2Q’17) have improved the flexibility of our balance sheet with ample available liquidity Net debt defined as total debt outstanding ($94M) less cash balance ($59M) Leverage ratio (net) is defined as net debt divided by last twelve months adjusted EBITDA ($124M). Liquidity defined as the sum of cash balance and available revolving line of credit. Credit facility and cash provide significant capital for accretive acquisitions and/or other capital deployment options


Slide 14

Adjusted EBITDA to Free Cash Flow Reconciliation (1,2) Reduction in amount of non-GAAP adjustments result in adjusted EBITDA falling through to operating cash flow; looking return DSO to mid-30’s by YE’17. Capex target of $10M - $12M within projected goal for 2017 The financial results for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016 , March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 are adjusted for certain items and should be considered a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is included in the corresponding 8-K detailing quarterly results for each respective reporting period. Free cash flow defined as cash flow from operations less routine capital expenditures and required debt repayments.


Slide 15

Income Statement Adjustments (1) Amount of non-GAAP adjustments, excluding legal settlements, have substantially decreased. Trend to continue throughout 2H’17 The financial results for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 are adjusted for certain items and should be considered a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is included in the corresponding 8-K detailing quarterly results for each respective reporting period.


Slide 16

Home Health Groupings Model (HHGM) It is still early and we lack needed data to draw firm conclusions, but here is what we know: What it is / Issues: HHGM is a total payment redesign for Home Health with the stated intent of better aligning resources and outcomes with reimbursement HHGM has an effective date of January 1, 2019 HHGM shifts payment from a 60 day episode to two 30 day periods and eliminates therapy visit thresholds currently used to adjust reimbursement.  This potentially discourages home health providers from taking care of higher acuity patients requiring therapy as part of their treatment HHGM is a product of the Affordable Care Act and the previous administration HHGM was created in a non-budget neutral manner HHGM was crafted and proposed by CMS without meaningful input from home health providers  Providing the industry only 60 days to comment on a total payment redesign, after no prior collaboration with the industry, seems to run counter to the current administration’s goal of transparency and reducing the regulatory burden for clinicians, providers, and patients in a way that increases quality of care and decreases costs Impact of HHGM: We have just seen the proposed rule and are not in a position yet to comment on the impact to Amedisys and our patients as the proposed rule is a complete redesign of the home health payment system We will need a significant amount of information and data from CMS in order to properly model the impact of the proposed rule in our geographies: Our very early review indicates that the reimbursement impact could vary significantly between states and regions Our ask: CMS should partner with home health providers to test HHGM or any payment reform CMS should provide access to the required data to model the impact of HHGM Amedisys remains fully committed to working closely with the Administration and CMS leadership to develop viable solutions that fulfill the goal of aligning reimbursement with resource use without compromising access to high-quality care
