ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On May 3, 2012, U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. (the “Company”), during its conference call disclosing its results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 (“First Quarter 2012”), discussed its increase in Adjusted EBITDA in the First Quarter 2012 compared to the first quarter of the prior year.  Adjusted EBITDA equals net income attributable to common shareholders before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and equity compensation expense.
 
The following table reconciles adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), to Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes providing Adjusted EBITDA to investors is useful information for comparing the Company’s period-to-period results.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP.  Items used to compute 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 attributable to common shareholders or net income including noncontrolling interests data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance.  Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP, and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, this measurement may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
