Bulls say / Bears say
Net operating revenues surged 24.7% year-over-year to $374.9 million in Q2 2025, fueled by 9.6% same-facility growth and the acquisition of White Oak Management in August 2024.
Adjusted net income for Q2 2025 rose 64.7% to $25.71 million, lifting adjusted diluted EPS to $1.65, up from $1.00 last year, highlighting significant operational leverage.
For Q1 2025, non-GAAP net income increased 61.4% to $24.84 million, and non-GAAP diluted EPS rose 60.6% to $1.59, supported by higher census, increased per diem rates, and earnings from White Oak operations.
GAAP diluted EPS in Q2 2025 fell to $1.52 from $1.73 the year before, reflecting swings from unrealized losses in the investment portfolio, which weighed on reported results.
In Q1 2025, salaries, wages and benefits jumped 24.6% year-over-year to $228.1 million, with other operating expenses up 19.4% at $92.5 million—showing persistent staffing cost pressures that could eat into margins.
Average skilled nursing facility census in Q1 2025 was 89.3%, just above 88.5% in Q1 2024, suggesting occupancy is still below peak levels and continues to restrain revenue leverage.
