National HealthCare Corporation posted Q1 2026 Non-GAAP EPS of $1.91 as the senior care provider continued its steady expansion across its portfolio of skilled nursing and long-term care facilities. Revenue totaled $381.8M for the quarter, up 2.2% from the $373.7M recorded in Q1 2025. Adjusted net income reached $30.1M for the quarter.
The Murfreesboro, Tennessee-based operator maintained its focus on skilled nursing operations, where average Medicare per diem rates increase 3% in the quarter. This pricing metric reflects the company’s ability to balance reimbursement pressures with the high-acuity care demands typical of post-acute and long-term care settings. The company operated 80 skilled nursing facilities at quarter end, representing a substantial footprint in a healthcare sector facing ongoing labor and regulatory challenges.
National HealthCare Corporation’s diversified model spans skilled nursing facilities, assisted and independent living communities, and homecare and hospice services. The modest revenue growth comes as the industry navigates persistent workforce shortages and evolving Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement frameworks that directly impact facility economics.
