Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $671,000 (or a loss of $0.10 per fully diluted share) compared to a net loss of $1,396,000 (or a loss of $0.20 per fully diluted share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Loss from discontinued operations was $41,000 (or a loss of $01 per fully diluted share)for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to a loss of $572,000 (or a loss of $0.08 per fully diluted share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 included a $613,000 loss on the sale of the operations of Trace Regional Hospital, a vacant medical office building and three (3) patient clinics (“Trace Regional”) in January 2024.
Consolidated net revenues for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $7,323,000 and $7,462,000, respectively, which consisted primarily of pharmacy net revenues. Pharmacy net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 increased $51,000, or 1%, over those for the same period last year, primarily due to higher institutional pharmacy net revenues this year.
SunLink reported an operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 of $683,000 compared to an operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $853,000.
SunLink reported a loss from continuing operations of $2,142,000 (or a loss of $0.30 per fully diluted share) for its nine months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $1,659,000 (or $0.24 per fully diluted share) for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 was $2,563,000 (or a loss of $0.36 per fully diluted share) compared to a net loss of $5,815,000 (or $0.59 per fully diluted share) for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 included a loss from discontinued operations of $421,000 (or a loss of $0.06 per fully diluted share), compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $4,156,000 (or a loss of $0.59 per fully diluted share) for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 included a loss of $110,000 on the October 2024 property sale in Houston, Mississippi. The discontinued operations loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 included an impairment charge of $2,032,000 on the book value of the Company’s former Trace Regional Hospital, a vacant medical office building and three (3) patient clinics and a $613,000 loss on the sale of Trace Regional operations in January 2024.
Consolidated net revenues for each of the nine month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $23,181,000,000 and $24,527,000, respectively. Pharmacy net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 included $437,000 from the reversal of reserves for certain sales taxes previously accrued. Excluding the effect of the reversal of sales tax accruals, net revenues decreased 3% in the nine months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year due primarily to decreased volume of Retail pharmacy scripts filled and durable medical equipment orders.
SunLink reported an operating loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 of $2,889,000 compared to an operating loss for the nine months ended March 31,2024 of $1,736,000. The operating loss during the comparable nine month period of the prior year resulted primarily from the lower net Pharmacy revenues offset by the reversal of $437,000 in accrued sales tax reserves.
Merger
On April 15, 2025, the Company and Regional Health Properties, Inc. (“Regional”) jointly announced that they have entered into an amended and restated agreement and plan of merger (the “merger agreement”), pursuant to which SunLink is to merge with and into Regional (the “merger”) in exchange for the issuance to the SunLink shareholders of an aggregate of approximately 1,595,401 shares of Regional common stock and 1,408,121 shares of Regional’s newly-authorized Series D 8% Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Participating Preferred Shares (the “Regional Series D Preferred Stock”) with an initial liquidation preference of $12.50 per share.

COVID-19 Pandemic
The Company continues to experience post-COVID-19 pandemic after-effects in its quarter and believes it will likely to continue experience these effects on its assets and operations in the foreseeable future particularly from salaries and wages pressure, workforce shortages, supply chain disruption and broad inflationary pressures. Our ability to estimate any such continuing effects on future revenues, expenses or changes in accounting judgments that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial statements is very limited, depending as they do on the severity and length thereof; as well as any further government actions and/or regulatory changes intended to address such effects.
