Management Commentary
Paul J. Diaz, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, remarked, "We are pleased to report solid third quarter performance in each of our three operating divisions. Our efforts to improve the quality of our services and better manage costs during the weakest seasonal period of the year led to better overall execution compared to both our expectations and the third quarter last year. Our improved operational focus also has resulted in more consistent overall operating results over the past four quarters."
Commenting on the Company's third quarter operations, Mr. Diaz noted, "Growth in hospital operating income was driven primarily by 11% growth in non-government admissions and favorable commercial pricing as we continued to demonstrate the value of our hospital services to commercial payors. Our nursing center revenues grew 3% and operating income was in line with our expectations for the quarter. Peoplefirst rehabilitation services continued to achieve solid revenue growth and strong productivity gains that drove operating income growth of 47% compared to the third quarter last year. Furthermore, our focus on cost management across the organization was a significant factor in our third quarter success."
Mr. Diaz further noted, "The significant growth in operating cash flows in the first nine months of this year, driven primarily by strong accounts receivable collections, has allowed us to fund our ongoing capital spending programs, our hospital development projects and the development of our transitional care centers and units in selected nursing centers. At the same time, we have reduced our outstanding revolving credit borrowings, net of excess cash, by over $100 million in the last twelve months. Looking forward, we will continue to focus on maximizing cash flows to fund our growth initiatives and reduce our leverage."
Earnings Guidance - Continuing Operations
The Company raised its 2009 earnings guidance for continuing operations. The Company expects consolidated revenues for 2009 to approximate $4.3 billion. Operating income, or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent, is expected to range from $577 million to $581 million. Rent expense is expected to approximate $350 million, while depreciation, amortization and net interest expense are expected to approximate $131 million. Income from continuing operations for 2009 is expected to approximate $58 million to $60 million or $1.48 to $1.53 per diluted share (based upon diluted shares of 38.5 million).
The Company also provided its earnings outlook for the fourth quarter of 2009, estimating diluted earnings per share between $0.30 to $0.35 (based upon diluted shares of 38.5 million).
The Company anticipates that routine capital spending for 2009 will approximate $110 million to $115 million and hospital development capital spending should approximate $45 million to $50 million. Management expects that substantially all of these expenditures will be financed through internal sources.
The Company also provided its initial earnings guidance for 2010. Consolidated revenues are expected to approximate $4.5 billion. Operating income is expected to range from $575 million to $583 million. Rent expense is expected to approximate $364 million, while depreciation, amortization and net interest expense are expected to approximate $128 million. Income from continuing operations for 2010 is expected to approximate $48 million to $54 million or $1.20 to $1.35 per diluted share (based upon diluted shares of 39 million).
The Company anticipates that routine capital spending in 2010 will approximate $115 million to $120 million, hospital development capital spending should approximate $45 million to $50 million and nursing center development capital spending on transitional care centers and units should approximate $25 million to $30 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of these expenditures will be financed through internal sources.
The Company indicated that the earnings guidance for 2009 and 2010 reflects the estimated impact of the final rules issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") on July 31, 2009 related to payment rates for long-term acute care ("LTAC") hospitals and nursing centers. The Company also indicated that the earnings guidance does not reflect any material acquisitions or divestitures and does not take into account any other changes in government reimbursements, repurchases of common stock or unusual items.
Mr. Diaz noted, "We remain focused on our strategic operating plan, improving our core operations and adding selectively to our asset base in targeted cluster markets. As we have in the past, we will continue to invest in our people, facilities, clinical programs and information systems to differentiate Kindred as a leading provider of post-acute services. However, we are concerned in the near term with weakness in both Medicare and Medicaid rates in our nursing center business. While we are reviewing a number of mitigation strategies for 2010, we do not believe that we can completely offset weaker government reimbursements in this division. We also would remind investors of the uncertainty associated with various federal healthcare reform proposals, ongoing state budget pressures as well as potential transition issues in the fourth quarter next year related to the new RUGs IV requirements for nursing centers."

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements regarding the Company's expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, financing plans, business strategy, budgets, capital expenditures, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of management and statements containing words such as "anticipate," "approximate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "project," "could," "should," "will," "intend," "may" and other similar expressions, are forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and stockholders and other potential investors must recognize that actual results may differ materially from the Company's expectations as a result of a variety of factors, including, without limitation, those discussed below. Such forward-looking statements are based upon management's current expectations and include known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which the Company is unable to predict or control, that may cause the Company's actual results or performance to differ materially from any future results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed below and detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition to the factors set forth above, other factors that may affect the Company's plans or results include, without limitation, (a) changes in the reimbursement rates or the methods or timing of payment from third party payors, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs, changes arising from and related to the Medicare prospective payment system for LTAC hospitals, including potential changes in the Medicare payment rules, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, and changes in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements for the Company's nursing centers; (b) the effects of healthcare reform, legislative changes and government regulations, interpretation of regulations and changes in the nature and enforcement of regulations governing the healthcare industry; (c) the impact of the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007, including the ability of the Company's hospitals to adjust to potential LTAC certification, medical necessity reviews and the three-year moratorium on future hospital development; (d) failure of the Company's facilities to meet applicable licensure and certification requirements; (e) the further consolidation of managed care organizations and other third party payors; (f) the Company's ability to meet its rental and debt service obligations; (g) the Company's ability to operate pursuant to the terms of its debt obligations and its master lease agreements with Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR); (h) the condition of the financial markets, including volatility and deterioration in the equity, capital and credit markets, which could limit the availability and terms of debt and equity financing sources to fund the requirements of the Company's businesses, or which could negatively impact the Company's investment portfolio; (i) national and regional economic, financial, business and political conditions, including their effect on the availability and cost of labor, credit, materials and other services; (j) the Company's ability to control costs, particularly labor and employee benefit costs; (k) increased operating costs due to shortages in qualified nurses, therapists and other healthcare personnel; (l) the Company's ability to attract and retain key executives and other healthcare personnel; (m) the increase in the costs of defending and insuring against alleged professional liability claims and the Company's ability to predict the estimated costs related to such claims, including the impact of differences in actuarial assumptions and estimates compared to eventual outcomes; (n) the Company's ability to successfully reduce (by divestiture of operations or otherwise) its exposure to professional liability claims; (o) the Company's ability to successfully pursue its development activities and successfully integrate new operations, including the realization of anticipated revenues, economies of scale, cost savings and productivity gains associated with such operations; (p) the Company's ability to successfully dispose of unprofitable facilities; (q) events or circumstances which could result in impairment of an asset or other charges; (r) changes in generally accepted accounting principles or practices; and (s) the Company's ability to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. Many of these factors are beyond the Company's control. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements made by the Company are not guarantees of future performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to announce publicly the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.
As noted above, the Company's earnings guidance includes the financial measure referred to as operating income. The Company's management uses operating income as a meaningful measure of operational performance in addition to other measures. The Company uses operating income to assess the relative performance of its operating divisions as well as the employees that operate these businesses. In addition, the Company believes this measurement is important because securities analysts and investors use this measurement to compare the Company's performance to other companies in the healthcare industry. The Company believes that income from continuing operations is the most comparable measure, in relation to generally accepted accounting principles, to operating income. Readers of the Company's financial information should consider income from continuing operations as an important measure of the Company's financial performance because it provides the most complete measure of its performance. Operating income should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures based upon generally accepted accounting principles as an indicator of operating performance. A reconciliation of the estimated operating income to income from continuing operations provided in the Company's earnings guidance is included in this press release.
