If your facility operated at a loss in 2015, you are in the industry minority. Sixty-nine percent of superintendents reported their facility either turned a profit or broke even in 2015. The number of profitable facilities increased from 39 percent in 2014 to 45 percent in 2015.

Forty-five percent of respondents say the industry is “seriously” or “somewhat” struggling while 26 percent say the industry is “drastically” or “somewhat” improving.
