    LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National Research Corporation, dba NRC Health, (NASDAQ:NRC) today announced results for the second quarter 2022.

    Q2 2022 financial results compared to Q2 2021:

    • Revenue increased 2% to $37.3 million
    • Operating income decreased 6% to $11.5 million

    In commenting on recent events, Michael Hays, Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the second quarter, our team secured the first official contract for the Human Understanding Program with Novant Health, an integrated health system serving four states and comprised of 15 medical centers and 600 clinics. We look forward to additional notable health systems adopting the Program which will take center stage at NRC Health’s 28th annual Symposium August 21–23 in Seattle. Hundreds of organizations will experience the power of delivering personalized health care at scale.”

    Regarding the Company’s 2022 second quarter financial performance, Kevin Karas, Chief Financial Officer, said, “Our growth strategy continues to focus on organic growth levers of increasing revenue from our core offerings, including our new Human Understanding Program, within our existing client base, as well as adding new clients to increase market share. While growth in our core offerings remains strong, decreases in revenue from discontinued and non-core offerings reduced our consolidated revenue growth rate to 2% for the quarter. Consistent with our long-term focus, we increased resource allocation for innovation initiatives, marketing and associate retention, increasing operating expenses for the quarter. We also continued to follow our capital allocation strategy, funding our quarterly dividend and additional share repurchases in the second quarter.”

    Revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, was $37.3 million, compared to $36.4 million for the same quarter in 2021. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, was $8.3 million, compared to $8.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

    Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.33 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, from diluted earnings per share of $0.35 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
