the securities of Healthcare Services Group, Inc. (“Healthcare
Services Group” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: HCSG) between April 11,

Healthcare Services Group, based in Bensalem, Pennsylvania,
engages in the management, administrative, and operating services
to the housekeeping, laundry, linen, facility maintenance, and
dietary service departments to nursing homes, retirement complexes,
rehabilitation centers, and hospitals in the United States.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period,
Defendants failed to disclose that (1) Healthcare Services Group
was strategically rounding its quarterly earnings per share (“EPS”)
upward for more than a decade, thus misrepresenting the Company’s
financial condition throughout the Class Period; (2) the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) had written to the Company in
November 2017 to inquire into its EPS rounding practices; and (3)
the SEC delivered a subpoena to the Company in March 2018 to
produce documents in connection with its calculation of EPS.
On March 4, 2019, in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC, Healthcare
Services Group disclosed it had received a letter in November 2017
from the SEC regarding an inquiry into the Company’s EPS
calculation practices and requesting that the Company voluntarily
provide certain information and documents relating to its EPS
rounding and reporting practices. The Company further disclosed it
also had received a subpoena in March 2018 from the SEC in
connection with those matters and had been providing information
and documents to the SEC.
Following those disclosures, the Company’s stock price fell by
$4.96 per share, or 13.14%, to close at $32.78 on March 4,
2019.
