MURFREESBORO, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
(NYSE American: ), the nation's oldest publicly traded senior health care company, announced today net operating revenues and government stimulus income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 totaled $270,843,000 compared to $276,737,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of 2.1%. The net operating revenues decrease during the third quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by the reduction in government stimulus income of $10.4 million during the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period a year ago, as well as us exiting the seven skilled nursing facilities in Massachusetts and New Hampshire during the third quarter of 2022. Excluding the government stimulus income, same-facility net operating revenues increased 3.8% during the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period a year ago.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the reported GAAP net loss attributable to NHC was $2,429,000 compared to a net loss of $3,348,000 for the same period in 2021. Excluding the unrealized losses in our marketable equity securities portfolio and other non-GAAP adjustments, adjusted net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $7,783,000 compared to $14,884,000 for the same period in 2021 (*). The decrease in non-GAAP earnings for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to the $10.4 million less of government stimulus income recorded, as well as incurring inflationary wage pressures on our labor costs. GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.16 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to a diluted loss per share of $0.22 for the same period in 2021. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.50 and $0.96 for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively (*).
(*) - See the tables below that provide a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP items.
