Summit Care Corp. Quarterly Profits Up 88%

Summit Care Corp., a Burbank-based operator of nursing homes, said its fiscal third-quarter profit soared 88% from a year earlier on a 16% gain in revenue.

In the quarter ended March 31, Summit Care’s net income rose to $1.25 million from $665,000, and its revenue climbed to $21 million from $18.1 million. Strength in the company’s California and Texas nursing homes and its expanding pharmacy business contributed to the gains, Summit Care said.
