NHC Reports Second Quarter 2021 Earnings

National HealthCare Corporation (NYSE American: NHC), the nation's oldest publicly traded senior health care company, announced today net operating revenues and CARES Act income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 totaled $263,158,000 compared to $261,642,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The census in our skilled nursing facilities for the second quarter of 2021 increased approximately 4% from the beginning of April 2021 through the end of June 2021. The census in our skilled nursing facilities increased approximately 7.5% from the beginning of January 2021 through the end of June 2021.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the reported GAAP net income attributable to NHC was $104,883,000 compared to $28,324,000 for the same period in 2020. The large increase in our reported GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2021 is primarily due to the gain recorded from the acquisition of Caris HealthCare, L.P., a hospice provider. Excluding the gain on the Caris HealthCare, L.P. acquisition, as well as the unrealized gains and losses in our marketable equity securities portfolio and other non-GAAP adjustments, adjusted net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $15,077,000 compared to $14,177,000 for the same period in 2020 (*). GAAP diluted earnings per share was $6.80 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.84 for the same period in 2020. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.98 and $0.92 for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively (*).
