NRC Health reported second quarter 2026 results, with revenue of $35.4 million, up from $34.0 million a year earlier.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
NRC Health reported second quarter 2026 results, with revenue of $35.4 million, up from $34.0 million a year earlier. Second quarter Total Recurring Contract Value (TRCV) increased 11% year-over-year to $151.9 million, which management views as a leading indicator of future revenue trends.
Despite revenue growth, the company recorded a net loss of $3.3 million, or $(0.15) per diluted share, compared with a $0.1 million loss in the prior-year quarter, as selling, general, and administrative expenses rose to $22.9 million from $17.7 million and non-cash stock compensation and management transition costs increased. For the first six months of 2026, net income was a small loss of $0.1 million versus profit of $5.7 million a year earlier, while adjusted net income was $11.4 million and adjusted EBITDA was $18.8 million, compared with $12.3 million and $20.6 million, respectively, in 2025. Free cash flow for the first half improved to $5.4 million from $(0.5) million, and the board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share payable October 9, 2026.

LINCOLN, Nebraska, July 28, 2026 — NRC Health (NASDAQ: NRC), a leader in healthcare experience improvement solutions, today announced results for the second quarter 2026.
"Our second quarter was a success on many fronts, including double-digit TRCV growth over the prior year, strong go-to-market and solutions delivery execution, continued commercialization of our product innovations, and the strongest bookings performance for The Governance Institute in seven years, positioning us well for a strong second half of 2026,” said Trent Green, CEO of NRC Health. “As healthcare organizations increasingly seek partners who can help improve experience outcomes, strengthen governance, and build enduring brand value, we believe NRC Health is uniquely differentiated through our three connected strengths: delivering continuous consumer and patient insights, providing trusted partnership and strategic engagement with healthcare leaders, and enabling actions that lead to improved outcomes.”

For more information, email info@nrchealth.com, or visit www.nrchealth.com.
Total Recurring Contract Value
Total Recurring Contract Value, or TRCV, is viewed by management as a leading indicator of our future revenue trends. It represents the total annualized contract value under customer contracts that are in effect or contractually committed as of the most recent quarter-end, based on contractual pricing and term provisions, and expected to be in force over the subsequent 12 months. TRCV is an operating metric and is not a measure of revenue recognized under U.S. GAAP.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to consolidated GAAP financial measures, NRC Health reviews various non-GAAP financial measures that management believes to be important in the evaluation of its operating results and performance, including “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted Earnings per Share,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA Margin,” “Free Cash Flow,” and “Free Cash Flow Margin.” Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information are provided later in this release.
NRC Health believes Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are helpful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as (i) they exclude certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of NRC Health’s business, and (ii) the exclusion of non-cash stock compensation is useful for investors applying certain valuation metrics and is consistent with the leverage ratio for our credit facility.
Adjusted Net Income represents net income adjusted to add back management transition costs and non-cash stock compensation and the related tax. The income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments is calculated by applying the Company's blended federal and state statutory rate to the deductible portion of each adjustment; amounts nondeductible under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code receive no tax effect. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, management transition costs, and non-cash stock compensation items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by our revenue.

Management transition costs, presented in the Company's prior earnings releases as "non-recurring executive compensation," consist of costs related to the Company's executive leadership transition. The caption was revised in the current period to more accurately reflect the composition of these costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, these costs consisted of bonuses tied to compensation arrangements for our new CEO and existing executive leaders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, these costs consist of bonuses paid to certain executives to cover anticipated tax obligations in connection with amendments to their 2025 equity awards, as previously disclosed, and approximately $270,000 of severance costs incurred in connection with team restructurings implemented by newly appointed executives.
NRC Health considers Free Cash Flow to be a measure that provides useful information to management and investors about our liquidity. Free Cash Flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow Margin represents Free Cash Flow divided by our revenue.
There is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for the presentation of such non-GAAP information, which is only meant to supplement GAAP results by providing additional information that management utilizes to assess performance.

| 2) | The income tax effect on management transition costs and non-cash stock compensation reflects only the tax deductible portion of these add-backs; compensation subject to the deduction limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code receives no offsetting tax benefit. Because the current period reflects a pre-tax loss rather than pre-tax income, the income tax provision does not fully reflect the impact of the non-deductibility that would be captured in a profitable period, which has the effect of increasing Adjusted Net Income for the period. |
