Chemed Corporation reported its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2025, revealing a consolidated service revenue of $618.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a 3.8% increase from $595.9 million in the same period of 2024. For the first six months, total revenues reached $1.27 billion, up 6.8% from $1.19 billion year-over-year. The company’s net income for the second quarter was $52.5 million, translating to earnings per share of $3.57, compared to $70.9 million and $4.65 per share in the prior year. For the six-month period, net income was $124.3 million, down from $135.9 million in 2024.
The financial performance reflects a notable increase in service revenues at Chemed's VITAS segment, which focuses on hospice care, with revenues rising by 5.8% in the second quarter and 10.3% in the first half of 2025. This growth was primarily driven by a 6.1% increase in days of care and a 4.2% increase in Medicare reimbursement rates. However, the segment faced challenges from a shift in acuity mix and Medicare cap adjustments that negatively impacted revenue growth. Meanwhile, Roto-Rooter, Chemed's plumbing and restoration services segment, saw a modest revenue increase of 0.6% in the second quarter, attributed to growth in excavation and water restoration services, despite declines in plumbing and drain cleaning.
Operationally, Chemed's total assets increased to $1.72 billion as of June 30, 2025, up from $1.67 billion at the end of 2024. The company reported a significant rise in cash and cash equivalents, which reached $249.9 million, compared to $178.4 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. Accounts receivable also increased, reflecting the timing of payments, particularly from Medicare. The company’s employee headcount remained stable, with no significant changes reported.
Strategically, Chemed completed several acquisitions, including the purchase of hospice operations from Covenant Health for $85 million in April 2024, which is expected to enhance its operational efficiencies. The company also acquired multiple Roto-Rooter franchises in 2024 and 2025, further expanding its market presence. Looking ahead, Chemed anticipates that its operating income and cash flows will be sufficient to meet its commitments and support growth initiatives, despite potential economic pressures from inflation and market conditions. The company remains committed to evaluating its capital resources for share repurchases, debt management, and dividends.
