IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. ("Sabra," the "Company" or "we") (Nasdaq:SBRA) today announced results of operations for the third quarter of 2014.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • For the third quarter of 2014, Normalized FFO, Normalized AFFO and net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted common share were $0.51, $0.51 and $0.31, respectively, compared to $0.47, $0.43 and $0.24, respectively, for the third quarter of 2013. Included in Normalized FFO and net income attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2014 was $2.0 million ($0.04 per diluted common share) of acquisition pursuit costs primarily related to the Holiday Retirement portfolio acquisition.
     
  • During the third quarter of 2014, revenues increased 34% over the same period in 2013, from $32.9 million to $44.0 million and generated $42.3 million of cash from operating activities compared to $26.2 million during the same period of 2013.
     
  • During the third quarter of 2014, we made new investments totaling $589.8 million, including the $550.0 million acquisition of the Holiday Retirement portfolio, and funded $11.8 million under previously announced commitments.
     
  • During the third quarter of 2014, we entered into an amended and restated unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), and increased the borrowing capacity from our prior secured revolving credit facility from $375.0 million to $650.0 million. The Revolving Credit Facility provides an accordion feature allowing for an additional $100 million of capacity, subject to terms and conditions, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity of $750.0 million. We also exercised an option to convert $200.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility to a term loan subject to terms and conditions. Concurrent with the term loan conversion, we entered into a five-year interest rate cap contract that caps LIBOR at 2.0% on a notional amount of $200.0 million.
     
  • Subsequent to September 30, 2014, we invested $81.7 million in four skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, four senior housing facilities and one debt investment.
     
  • As a result of the investment activity during and subsequent to the third quarter of 2014, 53.6% of our annualized revenues are now derived from non-government sources. In addition, 54.2% and 35.9% of our annualized revenues are now derived from skilled nursing/transitional care facilities and Genesis, respectively, compared to 82.0% and 60.6%, respectively, as of September 30, 2013.
     
  • Subsequent to September 30, 2014, we raised $306.4 million in net proceeds through the offering of 6.9 million shares of common stock and the issuance of an additional $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% senior unsecured notes due in 2021. The net proceeds from these offerings were used to repay outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.
     
  • On November 3, 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.39 per share of common stock, a $0.01 increase over the quarterly dividend with respect to the second quarter of 2014 and $0.05 increase over the quarterly dividend with respect to third quarter of 2013. The dividend will be paid on November 26, 2014 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2014.
     
  • Also on November 3, 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4453125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend will be paid on November 26, 2014 to preferred stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2014.

Commenting on the third quarter results and recent investments, Rick Matros, CEO and Chairman, said, "Sabra delivered another strong quarter, with significant investments during and subsequent to the quarter. Operating results were solid with stable occupancy, mix, and rent coverage. We have accelerated the diversification of our asset base and will continue to do so as we execute the bread and butter deals we have developed a reputation for completing. Our investments year to date now total $863 million and we expect additional transactions prior to year end. Additionally, we reaffirm our previously issued  guidance for the year."

REPORTING DEFINITIONS

Acute Care Hospital. A facility designed to provide extended medical and rehabilitation care for patients who are clinically complex and have multiple acute or chronic conditions.

Annualized Revenues. The annual straight-line rental revenues under leases and interest and other income generated by the Company's loans receivable and other investments based on amounts invested and applicable terms as of the end of the period presented. Annualized Revenues do not include tenant recoveries or additional rents.  The Company uses Annualized Revenues for the purpose of determining revenue concentrations and lease expirations.

EBITDAR Coverage. EBITDAR for the trailing 12 month periods prior to and including the period presented divided by the same period cash rent. Cash rent used for recently acquired facilities and facilities subject to lease restructuring is the first year rental rate. EBITDAR Coverage is a supplemental measure of an operator/tenant's ability to meet their cash rent and other obligations to the Company. However, its usefulness is limited by, among other things, the same factors that limit the usefulness of EBITDAR. All facility and tenant data are derived solely from information provided by operators/tenants and relevant guarantors without independent verification by the Company. All such data is presented one quarter in arrears. The Company excludes the impact of strategic disposition candidates and facilities leased to RIDEA-compliant joint venture tenants. The Company only includes EBITDAR Coverage for Stabilized Facilities acquired beginning in the quarter subsequent to the acquisition date and only for periods when the property was operated subject to a lease with the Company. EBITDAR Coverage for facilities with new tenants/operators are only included in periods subsequent to the Company's acquisition of the facilities. EBITDAR Coverage is not presented for tenants with significant corporate guarantees.

EBITDARM Coverage. EBITDARM for the trailing 12 month periods prior to and including the period presented divided by the same period cash rent. Cash rent used for recently acquired facilities and facilities subject to lease restructurings is the first year rental rate. EBITDARM coverage is a supplemental measure of a property's ability to generate cash flows for the operator/tenant (not the Company) to meet the operator's/tenant's related cash rent and other obligations to the Company. However, its usefulness is limited by, among other things, the same factors that limit the usefulness of EBITDARM.

Enterprise Value. The Company believes Enterprise Value is an important measurement as it is a measure of a company's value. We calculate Enterprise Value as market equity capitalization plus debt. Market equity capitalization is calculated as the number of shares of common stock multiplied by the closing price of our common stock on the last day of the period presented. Total Enterprise Value includes our market equity capitalization and consolidated debt, less cash and cash equivalents.

Fixed Charge Coverage. EBITDAR (including adjustments for one-time and pro forma items) for the period indicated (one quarter in arrears) for all operations of any entities that guarantee the tenants' lease obligations to the Company divided by the same period cash rent expense, interest expense and mandatory principal payments for operations of any entity that guarantees the tenants' lease obligation to the Company. Fixed Charge Coverage is a supplemental measure of a guarantor's ability to meet the operator/tenant's cash rent and other obligations to the Company should the operator/tenant be unable to do so itself. However, its usefulness is limited by, among other things, the same factors that limit the usefulness of EBITDAR. Fixed Charge Coverage is calculated by the Company as described above based on information provided by guarantors without independent verification by the Company and may differ from similar metrics calculated by the guarantors.

Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO"). The Company believes that net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. The Company also believes that Funds From Operations, or FFO, as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO (and related per share amounts) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of the Company's operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a real estate investment trust that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and impairment charges. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding non-cash revenues (including, but not limited to, straight-line rental income adjustments and write-offs and non-cash interest income adjustments), non-cash expenses (including, but not limited to, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of debt premiums/discounts), acquisition pursuit costs and changes in fair value of contingent consideration. The Company believes that the use of FFO and AFFO (and the related per share amounts), combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of the Company's operating results among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among real estate investment trusts more meaningful. The Company considers FFO and AFFO to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, impairment charges and real estate depreciation and amortization, and, for AFFO, by excluding non-cash revenues (including, but not limited to, straight-line rental income adjustments and write-offs and non-cash interest income adjustments), non-cash expenses (including, but not limited to, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of debt premiums/discounts), acquisition pursuit costs and changes in fair value of contingent consideration, FFO and AFFO can help investors compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies. While FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company's liquidity or operating performance. FFO and AFFO also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to the Company's real estate assets nor do they purport to be indicative of cash available to fund the Company's future cash requirements. Further, the Company's computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO reported by other real estate investment trusts that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define AFFO differently than the Company.

Investment. Represents the carrying amount of real estate assets after adding back accumulated depreciation and amortization.

Market Capitalization. Total common shares of Sabra outstanding multiplied by the closing price per common share as of a given period.

Normalized FFO and AFFO. Normalized FFO represents FFO adjusted for certain income and expense items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing operating results. Normalized AFFO represents AFFO adjusted for one-time start-up costs and certain income and expense items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing operating results. The Company considers normalized FFO and AFFO to be a useful measure to evaluate the Company's operating results excluding start-up costs and non-recurring income and expenses. Normalized FFO and AFFO can help investors compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies. Normalized FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company's liquidity or operating performance. Normalized FFO and AFFO also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to the Company's real estate assets nor does it purport to be indicative of cash available to fund the Company's future cash requirements. Further, the Company's computation of normalized FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to normalized FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define FFO and AFFO or normalized FFO and normalized AFFO differently from the Company.

Senior Housing. Senior housing facilities include independent living, assisted living, continuing care retirement community and memory care facilities.

Skilled Nursing/Transitional Care. Skilled nursing/transitional care facilities include skilled nursing facilities, multi-license designation, and mental health facilities.

Stabilized Facility. Skilled Nursing/Transitional Care facilities and Senior Housing facilities are considered stabilized at the earlier of (i) achieving consistent occupancy at or above 80% and (ii) 24 months after the acquisition date. The Company also considers these facilities and Acute Care Hospitals to not be stabilized based on other circumstances (including newly completed developments, facilities undergoing major renovations or additions, facilities being repositioned or transitioned to new operators, and significant transitions within the tenants business model). Such facilities will be considered stabilized upon maintaining consistent occupancy at or above 80% (for Skilled Nursing/Transitional Care and Senior Housing Facilities only) but in no event beyond 24 months after the date any such circumstances occurred for any asset type. Stabilized Facilities exclude facilities leased to RIDEA-compliant joint venture tenants.

Total Debt. The carrying amount of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility, term loan, senior unsecured notes, and mortgage indebtedness, as reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Total Secured Debt. Mortgage and other debt secured by real estate.
