Healthcare Services Group, Inc. has acquired NEXDINE Hospitality, a privately held provider of dining and hospitality services with a focus on the senior living market. The transaction includes an upfront purchase price of $93.5 million, with the potential for additional contingent consideration if specific performance targets are met. The deal was funded with cash on hand and is expected to contribute over $150 million in annual revenue to the acquirer.

Lanci noted that the combination represents a new chapter for NEXDINE, which has operated for nearly two decades based on the belief that service begins with strong client relationships and great people. He said that Healthcare Services Group shares those values and the vision for elevating the hospitality experience.

The company's press release includes a cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements, noting that such statements are based on current expectations and are subject to various risks and uncertainties.

These risks include those arising from providing services primarily to the healthcare industry and long-term care providers, as well as credit and collection risks associated with the sector.
