November 08, 2024 | Last Trade: US$111.29 0.34 0.31

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. / Nov 08, 2024 / Business Wire / National HealthCare Corporation (NYSE American: NHC), the nation's oldest publicly traded senior health care company, announced today net operating revenues and grant income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 totaled $340,198,000 compared to $288,485,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 17.9%. The increase in net operating revenues for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year was primarily related to the August 1, 2024 acquisition of White Oak Manor (“White Oak”).

For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the reported GAAP net income attributable to NHC was $42,789,000 compared to $10,388,000 for the same period in 2023. Excluding the unrealized gains or losses in our marketable equity securities portfolio and other non-GAAP adjustments, adjusted net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $19,910,000 compared to $13,250,000 for the same period in 2023, an increase of 50.3% (*). The GAAP diluted earnings per share were $2.73 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0.68 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.27 and $0.86 for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively (*).
