  • Visits per Day ("VPD") were 24,921 compared to 23,412 in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 6.4%, driven by the Company's increased capacity to see patients through a higher number of clinical FTE and higher productivity per clinical FTE.

    • VPD per Clinic was 28.4 compared to 25.7 in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 2.7 visits, primarily driven by the Company's continued focus on clinic operational excellence and footprint optimization.

  • Rate per Visit ("RPV") was $108.32 compared to $104.74 in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 3.4%, driven primarily by improved rates with certain key payors, operational improvements in revenue cycle management, and service mix.

  • Salaries and related costs were $102.5 million compared to $95.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 7.6%, primarily due to added clinicians and support staff and wage inflation.

    • PT salaries and related costs per visit were $56.22 compared to $54.81 in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 2.6%, mainly due to higher compensation per FTE, partially offset by a higher labor productivity of 9.6 VPD per clinical FTE compared to 9.5 in the second quarter of 2023.

  • Rent, clinic supplies, contract labor and other was $53.2 million compared to $50.4 million in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 5.4%, primarily driven by higher spending on contract labor and third-party services, partially offset by a lower number of clinics.

  • Selling, general and administrative expenses were $23.1 million compared to $36.6 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 36.9%, primarily driven by lower transaction costs, higher legal cost insurance reimbursements and lower corporate insurance costs.
