Allina reported revenues of $1.07 billion in the second quarter of this year, up from $1.01 billion in the same period of 2017, according to recently released bondholder documents. The boost was attributable to higher net patient service revenue, which climbed 6.4 percent year over year.

The system’s operating expenses totaled $1.06 billion in the second quarter of 2018, up from $990.4 million in the same period a year earlier.

Allina ended the second quarter of this year with operating income of $13.1 million. That’s down 45 percent from the first quarter of 2017, when the system reported operating income of $23.9 million.

Allina reported an investment return of $33.8 million in the second quarter of 2017, but that number dropped to $6.3 million in the second quarter of this year.

After factoring in the drop in investment income, Allina’s net income tumbled 56 percent year over year to $19.1 million in the second quarter of 2018.
