Executive summary

  • Net operating revenues for Q3 2025 were $3.087 billion, nearly flat year-over-year, but same-store revenues rose 6.0% due to higher reimbursement rates and favorable payor mix.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
