- Patient care net revenue was $190.6 million, an increase of $2.1 million or 1.1 percent, compared to the same period in 2018. Growth was attributed to $4.8 million of revenue from O&P clinics acquired in late 2018 and early 2019.

“While revenue growth in the quarter was below our expectations, we believe this relates primarily to the timing of our prosthetics deliveries. As a result, we are reaffirming both our revenue and earnings guidance for 2019. We remain positive in our view of the demand for our O&P services, strength in our referrals patterns, and the overall industry fundamentals,” said Vinit Asar, Hanger president and CEO.
