NEW YORK -- 

The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of those who acquired Healthcare Services Group, Inc. (“Healthcare Services Group” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HCSG) securities during the period from April 11, 2017 to March 4, 2019 (the “Class Period”). Investors have until May 21, 2019 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges that Healthcare Services Group engaged in a scheme to deceive the market by misrepresenting the value of the Company’s business and prospects by overstating its earnings and concealing the significant defects in its internal controls.

On March 4, 2019, the Healthcare Services Group disclosed that it would delay the release of its annual report on Form 10-K with the SEC. The Company admitted that it received a letter and subpoena from the SEC asking questions about how the Company calculates its EPS. On this news, shares of Healthcare Services Group fell $4.96 per share, or 13.14%, to close at $32.78 on March 4, 2019.
