NHC Reports First 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 March 31, 2021 totaled $250,973,000 compared to $256,124,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of 2.0%. The CARES Act funding is intended to partially offset COVID-19 expenses and lost revenues. For the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the census in our skilled nursing facilities increased approximately 3.5% from the beginning of January 2021 through the end of March 2021.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the reported GAAP net income attributable to NHC was $21,267,000 compared to a GAAP net loss attributable to NHC in the amount of $26,852,000 for the same period in 2020. Excluding the unrealized gains and losses in our marketable equity securities portfolio and other non-GAAP adjustments, adjusted net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $16,592,000 compared to $17,070,000 for the same period in 2020 (*). GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.38 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to a GAAP diluted loss per share of $1.76 for the same period in 2020. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.08 and $1.11 for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively (*).
