Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - Mayo Clinic's bottom line took a hit last year as expenses increased by more than $1 billion.

The Rochester-based healthcare provider's annual report shows its income from current activities, which is its best indicator of economic performance, plummeted from more than $1.3 billion in 2021 to just over $640 million in 2022. That remains a healthy 3.7% margin, but it is down about $725 million or 53% from the previous year.

A required federal regulatory filing shows Mayo Clinic's overall revenues increased last year by $454 million and exceeded $16.3 billion. On the other side of the ledger, Mayo's expenses reached nearly $15.7 billion, which was up close to $1.2 billion from 2021.

About half of the increase in expenses was tied to salaries and benefits. The regulatory report shows those costs grew by $509 million and totaled almost $9.2 billion last year. The cost of supplies and services jumped up by $610 million to almost $5.4 billion, which works out to a nearly 12.8% increase in one year.

Mayo Clinic's return on investments modestly improved in 2022. Mayo's portfolio was able to provide about $250 million for operations last year compared with $217 million the previous year despite a net loss of almost $1.4 billion, which nearly erased the more than $1.4 billion gain on investments that was enjoyed by the healthcare provider in 2021.
