U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. (the "Company") announced that it will deliver a presentation at the Bank of America 2005 Health Care Conference held today, May 18, 2005. Chris Reading, Chief Executive Officer, and Larry McAfee, Chief Financial Officer, will address the conference. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 A copy of the presentation may be accessed on the Company's website, www.usph.com. The presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Regulation G of the rules and regulations of the SEC. The non-GAAP financial measures contained in the presentation include: 1) presentation of trailing 12 months results, 2) presentation of EBITDA and 3) presentation of results excluding certain costs related to closed clinics, severance, gain on asset sales and accrual for straight line rents. The trailing 12 months results are derived from taking the results for the year ended December 31, 2004 less the results as reported for the first quarter of 2004 plus the results as reported for the first quarter of 2005. EBITDA equals operating income plus amortization and depreciation expense. See the addendum included in the presentation for a detail of certain costs excluded. Management believes providing this non-GAAP financial information to investors is useful information for comparing the Company's period-to-period results because the excluded amounts were material in amount and generally non-recurring in nature and did not occur in the prior periods. Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will not be incorporated by reference into any filings by the Company under such Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
