Dietary labor costs accounted for approximately 61.5% of Dietary revenues in 2022.

COVID-19 Considerations While the crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has begun to show signs of abatement (e.g., new case rates remain below prior highs, the mortality rate remains low, and the Centers for Disease Control have relaxed masking requirements within healthcare facilities), our clients, who have been at the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic since its outset, must continue to dedicate significant financial and other resources to protect their residents, employees and visitors.
Added
Specifically, Housekeeping labor costs accounted for approximately 82.2% of Housekeeping revenues in 2023 while Dietary labor costs accounted for approximately 59.3% of Dietary revenues in 2023.
Removed
Moreover, we, our clients, vendors and business partners remain challenged by the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global economic crisis that has resulted from it.
Added
Our consolidated costs of services provided decreased 2.7% for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 2022 due to a decrease in the number of facilities serviced. 20 Table of Contents Our customers are concentrated in the healthcare industry and are primarily providers of long-term care.
Removed
Significant supply chain disruption, inflation, labor shortages and unprecedented wage growth remain, and nursing home occupancy levels, while increasing from the lowest point in 2020, are still well below the national average target to support a robust recovery of the healthcare sector.
Added
While the number of Dietary facilities serviced declined year-over-year, revenue increased resulting from contractual pass-through of labor and food costs to customer buildings, which was a focus of our 2022 service agreement modification initiative.
Removed
All the while, nursing home workforce participation is at the lowest levels in decades and is the slowest segment in the health care sector to recover toward pre-pandemic levels.
Added
The increase in dietary supplies spend as a percentage of dietary revenues was driven by increases to our menu costs, which are dependent on commodity pricing factors, during 2023. 22 Table of Contents Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative Expense Included in selling, general and administrative expense are gains and losses associated with changes in the value of investments under our deferred compensation liability.
Removed
Housekeeping and Dietary supplies are principally commodity products and are affected by market conditions specific to the respective products.
Added
GAAP, with no need for our judgment in their application. There are also areas in which our judgment in selecting another available alternative would not produce a materially different result.
Removed
Our consolidated costs of services increased 5.7% for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021 due to increased labor and product costs driven by economic factors and elevated bad debt due to the aging of receivables and the result of a change in the credit risk profile of one operating group that entered into receivership during the year.
Added
While no purchases of marketable securities were made during the year ended December 31, 2023, we also use cash for such purchases when deemed appropriate in line with capital funding requirements for HCSG Insurance. Such uses of cash are offset by proceeds from sales of marketable securities.
Removed
Such increases were offset by a $9.8 million adjustment to our self-insurance reserves based on our updated actuarial estimates for projected incurred losses on past claims. Such estimates declined in 2022 due to favorable claim experience and loss mitigation efforts. 19 Table of Contents Our customers are concentrated in the healthcare industry and are primarily providers of long-term care.
Added
Prior to 2023, the primary use of cash from financing activities was the payment of dividends. On February 14, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the Repurchase Plan and suspended the quarterly dividend issued on common stock as part of our overall capital rebalancing strategy. No dividends were issued during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Removed
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 included $1.4 million of COVID-19 supplemental billings, as compared to $5.7 million of COVID-19 supplemental billings for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily related to employee pay premiums passed through to customers.
Added
In the event that our claims experience and/or industry trends result in an unfavorable change resulting from, among other factors, the severity levels of reported claims and medical cost inflation, as compared to historical claim trends, it would have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Removed
The impact of such receivership resulted in an approximate $7.1 million increase to our bad debt provision. In addition, bad debt provision increased due to the increase in outstanding accounts receivable and aged receivables during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Removed
The decrease in our self-insurance costs as a percentage of consolidated revenue was primarily impacted by a favorable $9.8 million adjustment to our self-insurance liability during 2022 after considering our updated actuarial estimates for projected incurred losses on past claims. Such estimates declined in 2022 due to favorable claim experience and loss mitigation efforts.
Removed
The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in legal and professional fees in 2022 compared to the comparable period due to the resolution of the previously disclosed SEC legal matter in 2021.
Removed
Consolidated Interest Expense Consolidated interest expense increased 115.7% to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $1.4 million for the corresponding 2021 period, primarily due to higher balances outstanding on the Line of Credit throughout the year.
Removed
ASC 326 was adopted by the Company prospectively as of January 1, 2020. In adopting ASC 326, the Company replaced its previous incurred loss impairment model for estimating credit losses on accounts and notes receivables for its reporting of quarterly and annual financial results with an expected loss model prepared in accordance with ASC 326.
Removed
While the incurred loss impairment model had the Company recognize credit losses when it was probable that a loss had been incurred, ASC 326 requires the Company to estimate the lifetime expected credit losses on such instruments and to record an allowance to offset the receivables.
Removed
Accordingly, credit losses under ASC 326 are generally recognized earlier in the life cycle of a receivable than under the Company’s previous incurred loss model.
Removed
General liability and workers’ compensation reserves for claims incurred but not reported are developed by a third party actuary through review of our historical data and open claims.
