INVESTOR ALERT: Brower Piven Encourages Shareholders Who Have Losses In Excess Of $100,000 From Investment In U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. To Contact Brower Piven Before The Lead Plaintiff Deadline In Class Action Lawsuit

STEVENSON, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. (NYSE: USPH) (“USPH” or the “Company”) securities during the period between May 8, 2014 and March 16, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until May 30, 2017 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in USPH securities during the Class Period. Members of the class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. No class has yet been certified in the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that the Company had a material weakness in its internal controls over accounting and financial reporting, it improperly accounted for redeemable non-controlling interests of acquired partnerships in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and all quarters within 2014 and 2015, and the first three quarters of 2016 contained material errors.

According to the complaint, following a March 16, 2017 announcement that the Company’s historical accounting for redeemable non-controlling interests of acquired partnerships was incorrect, that the error would result in the reporting of a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting, and that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and all quarters within 2014 and 2015, and the first three quarters of 2016 should no longer be relied upon, the value of USPH shares declined significantly.

If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in USPH securities purchased on or after May 8, 2014 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html.
