A 100-bed building at Hawaii medians
At 82.1% occupancy, 100 beds produce about 29,952 patient days a year. At the median revenue and expense per day, that is about $16,615,517 of net patient revenue against $16,916,534 of total operating expense, an operating result of $-301,017 as the cost report counts it. The two medians come from different facilities, so this shows scale only.
Lenders do not underwrite that line. The cost report's total operating expense includes items a lender adds back or replaces with its own assumptions, such as rent, interest, depreciation and related-party management fees. Why reported margin is not EBITDAR.
