Patient Revenues
Patient revenues were $141.5 million and $97.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $43.6 million. The following table summarizes the revenue fluctuations attributable to our portfolio growth (in thousands):

| Total revenue | $ | 141,500 | $ | 97,945 | $ | 43,555 | |||||
The overall increase in revenues of $43.6 million is primarily attributable to revenue contributions from the acquisition of the Golden Living operations in Alabama and Mississippi during the fourth quarter of 2016 of $45.7 million. The increase from the acquisition activity was partially offset by a decrease in same-store revenue of $2.1 million which is explained in more detail below.
For same-store centers, the first quarter of 2017 experienced one less day of operations compared to the first quarter of 2016, resulting in a decrease in revenue of $1.0 million or 1.1%.
On a same-store basis, our Medicare and Private Pay average daily census for the first quarter of 2017 decreased compared to the first quarter of 2016, resulting in decreases in revenue of $1.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, or 8.0% and 3.9%, respectively. The average Medicare and Medicaid rate per patient day for same-store centers in first quarter of 2017 increased $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, or 2.8% and 1.0%, respectively.
Expenses
Operating expense increased in the first quarter of 2017 to $110.7 million as compared to $78.6 million in the first quarter of 2016. Operating expense decreased as a percentage of revenue at 78.2% for the first quarter of 2017 as compared to 80.3% for the first quarter of 2016. The following table summarizes the expense increases attributable to our portfolio growth (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||
| 2017 | 2016 | Change | |||||||||
| Same-store operating expense | $ | 75,383 | $ | 78,618 | $ | (3,235 | ) | ||||
| 2016 acquisition expense | 35,284 | — | 35,284 | ||||||||
| Total expense | $ | 110,667 | $ | 78,618 | $ | 32,049 | |||||
The overall increase in operating expense of $32.0 million is primarily attributable the acquisition of the Golden Living operations in Alabama and Mississippi during the fourth quarter of 2016 of $35.3 million.
On a same-store basis, operating expenses decreased by $3.2 million, which is primarily attributable to a provider tax refund of $2.2 million from the state of Kentucky. Additionally, our bad debt expense and nursing and ancillary costs decreased by $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016.
One of the largest components of operating expenses is wages, which increased to $65.0 million during the first quarter of 2017 as compared to $45.1 million in the first quarter of 2016, which consistent with above is due to acquisition activity.
Lease expense increased in the first quarter of 2017 to $13.7 million as compared to $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase in lease expense was primarily attributable to the 22 newly leased centers in Alabama and Mississippi, which occurred during the fourth quarter of 2016.
Professional liability expense was $2.7 million and $2.1 million in the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our cash expenditures for professional liability costs of continuing operations were $2.1 million and $0.6 million for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Professional liability expense and cash expenditures fluctuate from year to year based respectively on the results of our third-party professional liability actuarial studies and on the costs incurred in defending and settling existing claims.
General and administrative expense was $9.0 million in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $2.3 million, but conversely a decrease as a percentage of revenue from 6.9% in 2016 to 6.3% in 2017. The increase in general and administrative expense is primarily attributable to an increase in wages, travel and consulting fees by $1.7 million, $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which is due to the acquisition of 22 new centers during the fourth quarter of 2016.
Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to $2.0 million in 2016. The increase in depreciation expense relates to fixed assets at the newly leased centers.
Gain on the sale of investment in unconsolidated affiliate was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company and its partners entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell the pharmacy joint venture in the fourth quarter of 2016. A gain of $1.4 million was recognized for the period ended December 31, 2016. The additional gain recognized in the first quarter of 2017 is related to the final liquidation of remaining net assets affiliated with the partnership.
Interest expense was $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $0.4 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher debt balances in 2017 as a result of the change in ownership processes for the newly leased Alabama and Mississippi centers.
As a result of the above, continuing operations reported income of $2.2 million before income taxes for the first quarter of 2017 as compared to a loss of $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2016. The provision for income taxes was $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2017, and was inconsequential for the first quarter of 2016. The basic and diluted income per common share from continuing operations was $0.22 and $0.21, respectively, for the first quarter of 2017 as compared to both basic and diluted loss per common share from continuing operations of $0.01 in the first quarter of 2016.
Receivables
Our net receivables balance increased $4.7 million to $66.9 million as of March 31, 2017, from $62.2 million as of December 31, 2016. The increase in accounts receivable is attributable to the twenty-two newly leased centers in Alabama and Mississippi.

We have included certain financial measures in this press release, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net income (loss) and Funds Provided by Operations which are “non-GAAP financial measures” using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using adjustments to GAAP (non-GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are not measurements under GAAP. These measurements should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for loss (income) from discontinued operations, interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted acquisition-related, debt retirement, lease termination and lease deferral costs. We define Adjusted Net income (loss) as Net income (loss) adjusted for acquisition-related costs, lease termination costs, lease deferral costs, debt retirement costs and income (loss) from discontinued operations. Funds Provided by Operations is defined as net income from operating activities adjusted for the cash effect of professional liability and other non-cash charges. Management believes that Funds Provided by Operations is an important performance measurement because it eliminates the effect of actuarial assumptions on our professional liability reserves, includes the cash effect of professional liability payments, and does not include the effects of deferred tax benefit and other non-cash charges.
Our measurements of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net income (loss) and Funds Provided by Operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We have included information concerning EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net income (loss) and Funds Provided by Operations in this press release because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as measures of a company’s historical performance. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net income (loss) are important performance measurements because they eliminate certain nonrecurring start-up losses and separation costs. Management believes that Funds Provided by Operations is an important performance measurement because it eliminates the effect of actuarial assumptions on our professional liability reserves, includes the cash effect of professional liability payments, and does not include the effects of deferred taxes and other non-cash items. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net income (loss) and Funds Provided by Operations should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
