What improved

  • Revenue increased 18.4% versus the comparable filing period.
  • Net income increased 24.2% versus the comparable filing period.
  • Operating cash flow covered net income at 1.00x, improving versus the comparable period.

What weakened

No thresholded deterioration was identified.

Filing receipts

Cost of services as a percentage of revenue decreased by 0.3% to 79.1% reflecting continued cost management, a shift towards higher acuity as we serve more clinically complex patients, and improving operational performance at our newer acquisitions.

This increase was primarily related to the additional depreciation incurred as a result of our newly acquired operations, which have a greater mix of real estate purchases than leases, and capital investments.

Other income, net decreased by $1.5 million due primarily due to a $1.7 million loss on our deferred compensation plan and a decrease in interest income of $0.3 million as we utilized our cash on hand to fund more real estate purchases during the period coupled with a lower interest rate environment.
