Exhibit 99.1

Unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information

On June 30, 2017, Kindred Healthcare, Inc. (“Kindred” or the “Company”) entered into a definitive agreement with BM Eagle Holdings, LLC, a joint venture led by affiliates of BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC (“BlueMountain”), under which the Company is selling its skilled nursing facility business for $700 million in cash (the “SNF Divestiture”). The agreement with BlueMountain provided for the sale of 89 nursing centers with 11,308 licensed beds and seven assisted living facilities with 380 licensed beds in 18 states.

As previously disclosed, 36 of the skilled nursing facilities (the “Ventas Properties”) were or continue to be leased from Ventas, Inc. (“Ventas”) and the Company has an option to acquire the real estate of the Ventas Properties for aggregate consideration of $700 million. As the Company closes on the sale of the Ventas Properties to BlueMountain, the Company will pay to Ventas the allocable portion of the $700 million purchase price for the Ventas Properties and Ventas will convey the real estate for the applicable Ventas Property to BlueMountain or its designee.

In connection with the SNF Divestiture, the results of operations of the skilled nursing facility business, which previously were reported in the Nursing Center division, and the gains or losses associated with the SNF Divestiture, have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In addition, direct overhead associated with the skilled nursing facility business and the profits from applicable RehabCare contracts servicing the Company’s skilled nursing facility business were moved to discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Company has reclassified certain retained businesses and expenses previously reported in the Nursing Center division to other business segments, including hospital-based sub-acute units and a skilled nursing facility to the Hospital division and a small therapy business to the Kindred Hospital Rehabilitation Services operating segment for all periods presented.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial position in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Kindred divested of its skilled nursing facility business during the periods specified. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not reflect expected cost reductions and anticipated new RehabCare contracts signed in connection with the SNF Divestiture.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and as of June 30, 2017 is based upon the historical consolidated financial information of Kindred and its consolidated subsidiaries. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information was derived from and should be read in conjunction with Kindred’s consolidated financial statements and related notes previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Kindred. The Company is not presenting a pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 because all of the adjustments related to the SNF Divestiture were reflected in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 in the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 9, 2017.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give effect to the SNF Divestiture as if this transaction had been consummated on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the SNF Divestiture as if this transaction had been consummated on June 30, 2017.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which is subject to change and interpretation.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information was prepared in accordance with the provisions of the authoritative guidance for discontinued operations accounting.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presents the pro forma results of operations based upon the historical audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and unaudited balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 of Kindred, after giving effect to the SNF Divestiture. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the effects of any other items directly attributable to the SNF Divestiture that are not expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results of operations.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give effect to the SNF Divestiture as if this transaction had been consummated on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the SNF Divestiture as if this transaction had been consummated on June 30, 2017.

NOTE 2 – PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information includes the following adjustments to reflect the SNF Divestiture and the reclassification to discontinued operations:

The Company has deferred tax liabilities related to tax amortization of acquired indefinite lived intangible assets because these assets are not amortized for financial reporting purposes. The tax amortization in current and future years created a deferred tax liability that will reverse at the time of ultimate sale or book impairment. Due to the uncertain timing of this reversal, the temporary difference associated with indefinite lived intangible assets cannot be considered a source of future taxable income for purposes of determining the valuation allowance. As such, this deferred tax liability cannot be used to offset the deferred tax asset related to the net deferred tax assets. The amortization of the skilled nursing facility business indefinite lived intangible assets resulted in tax expense of $68,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The new tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was determined by calculating a new effective tax rate for continuing operations for each respective year. That new effective tax rate was applied to the adjusted income or loss from continuing operations to determine the new tax provision.
