National Research Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2023 Results

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National Research Corporation, dba NRC Health, (NASDAQ:NRC) today announced results for the second quarter 2023.

Regarding the Company’s 2023 second quarter, Kevin Karas, Chief Financial Officer, said, “Our continued expansion of sales and marketing resources over the past several quarters have been effective in building our sales pipeline. In the second quarter of 2023, we gained momentum in converting pipeline opportunities which resulted in a 53% increase in new sales compared to the second quarter of 2022. Sales have also been driven by consistent growth in our Human Understanding Program, with adoption through June 30, 2023, of 39 healthcare organizations. We have also focused on aligning our cost structure with business requirements based on our current level of revenue to increase operating margins. We realized improved operating margins in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter and will continue cost alignment changes to achieve margin expansion in future quarters.”

The Company’s Board of Directors maintained its capital allocation priorities of funding innovation and growth investments, including merger and acquisition activity, as well as internal projects, shareholder dividends and share repurchases during 2023. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company funded $4.2 million for innovation and growth, $3.0 million for dividend payments, and $1.8 million for share repurchases.

Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.29 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, from diluted earnings per share of $0.33 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

A live simulcast of National Research Corporation’s 2023 first quarter conference call will be available online at https://events.q4inc.com/attendee/554395066 August 2, 2023, beginning at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time.
