Sabra Reports Third Quarter 2018 Results and Continued Improvement in Skilled Nursing Occupancy, Skilled Mix and Senior Housing - Managed Portfolio Occupancy; Updates 2018 Guidance


IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. (“Sabra,” the “Company” or “we”) (Nasdaq:SBRA) today announced results of operations for the third quarter of 2018.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • For the third quarter of 2018, net income attributable to common stockholders, FFO, Normalized FFO, AFFO and Normalized AFFO per diluted common share were $0.20, $0.50, $0.60, $0.54 and $0.55, respectively, compared to $0.11, $0.34, $0.63, $0.56 and $0.60, respectively, for the third quarter of 2017.

  • For the third quarter of 2018, our Skilled Nursing occupancy percentage improved 30 basis points to 82.6%, and our Skilled Mix improved 60 basis points to 39.1%, each over the second quarter of 2018.  In addition, our Senior Housing - Managed portfolio realized a 90 basis point improvement in occupancy over the second quarter of 2018 to 84.7%.

  • During and subsequent to the third quarter of 2018, we completed the sale of three facilities leased to Genesis Healthcare, Inc. (“Genesis”) for gross sales proceeds of $7.2 million, leaving 16 facilities leased to Genesis that we expect to sell by the end of the first quarter of 2019 for estimated total gross proceeds of $109.0 million.

  • During the third quarter of 2018, we made investments of $34.7 million with a weighted average initial cash yield of 7.25%. These investments consisted of: (i) $25.0 million of real estate acquisitions; (ii) $4.4 million of real estate additions; (iii) $4.3 million of preferred equity investments; and (iv) $1.0 million of investments in loans receivable.

  • On August 27, 2018, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell the 36 Skilled Nursing facilities and two Senior Housing communities currently leased to Senior Care Centers for an aggregate sales price of $405.0 million, inclusive of a potential earnout opportunity of $27.5 million. The sale of the facilities is subject to entry by the parties into a definitive purchase and sale agreement, as well as the completion by the potential purchaser of due diligence and other customary closing conditions to be included in the definitive agreement. We expect to complete the sale in early 2019. There can be no assurances that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the sale transaction will be consummated, on the foregoing terms or timing or at all. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we issued to Senior Care Centers notices of default and lease termination due to non-payment of rent under the terms of the master leases. As a result, Senior Care Centers is currently operating the facilities on a month-to-month basis. Deposits were fully exhausted to pay contractual rents and cash rents have been recorded through a portion of September 2018, reflecting a shortfall of $1.9 million in cash rents from Senior Care Centers through September 30, 2018. No straight-line rents have been recorded since May 2018. There can be no assurances that we will receive any additional rent payments from Senior Care Centers during the pendency of the sale process. Prior to termination of the master leases, the annual lease rate was $58.5 million.

          •  We have updated our 2018 earnings guidance ranges as follows (per diluted common share):
 Net income attributable to common stockholders$1.64-$1.67(from $1.98 - $2.06)
 FFO attributable to common stockholders$2.16-$2.19(from $2.48 - $2.56)
 Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders$2.27-$2.30(from $2.47 - $2.55)
 AFFO attributable to common stockholders$2.11-$2.14(from $2.28 - $2.36)
 Normalized AFFO attributable to common stockholders$2.14-$2.17(from $2.27 - $2.35)
      
 As a result of the above referenced Senior Care Centers lease termination, our guidance assumes that we do not recognize rental revenues from Senior Care Centers during the fourth quarter of 2018, resulting in a reduction of $0.13 per diluted common share of net income attributable to common stockholders, FFO and Normalized FFO and $0.09 per diluted common share of AFFO and Normalized AFFO. In addition, our updated 2018 earnings guidance also reflects updates to our Senior Housing - Managed portfolio based on actual performance and expected fourth quarter 2018 performance, resulting in a reduction of $0.05 per diluted common share of net income attributable to common stockholders, FFO and Normalized FFO and $0.04 per diluted common share of AFFO and Normalized AFFO.  See “2018 Outlook Update” below for additional information regarding our 2018 earnings guidance.
  • On November 1, 2018, we exercised our option to acquire a 140 unit Senior Housing community in Ohio for $26.2 million (of which $3.7 million was used to repay our preferred equity investment in this property). This investment has an initial cash yield of 7.47% and was sourced through our proprietary development pipeline.

  • On November 5, 2018, we announced that our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on November 30, 2018 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2018.

Commenting on the third quarter results, Rick Matros, CEO and Chairman, said, “Sabra had a solid operational quarter. Our Skilled Nursing portfolio continues to perform better than national trends. Occupancy and Skilled Mix each improved for the third sequential quarter. Occupancy for our Senior Housing - Leased portfolio was slightly down sequentially, and was up 90 basis points sequentially for our Senior Housing - Managed portfolio. Rent coverage was stable for our Skilled Nursing and Senior Housing portfolios.

“We adjusted guidance down, as expected, which is primarily driven by the expected sale of the Senior Care Centers portfolio. We expect the sale to close in early 2019. We remain focused on resolving all portfolio-related issues by year end or early 2019 and on growing from there with the operating partners that we have a long term commitment to.”

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS SAFE HARBOR

This release contains “forward-looking” statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be identified, without limitation, by the use of “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “should” or comparable terms or the negative thereof. Examples of forward-looking statements include all statements regarding our planned dispositions (including the expected proceeds from, and timing of, sales), as well as our expected future financial position, results of operations (including our updated outlook for the full year 2018), business strategy, and plans and objectives for future operations.

Our actual results may differ materially from those projected or contemplated by our forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including among others, the following: our dependence on the operating success of our tenants; operational risks with respect to our Senior Housing - Managed communities; the effect of our tenants declaring bankruptcy or becoming insolvent; our ability to find replacement tenants and the impact of unforeseen costs in acquiring new properties; the impact of litigation and rising insurance costs on the business of our tenants; our ability to implement the previously announced rent repositioning program for certain of our tenants who were legacy tenants of Care Capital Properties, Inc. (“CCP”) on the timing or terms we have previously disclosed; our ability to dispose of facilities currently leased to Genesis Healthcare, Inc. and Senior Care Centers on the timing or terms we have disclosed; the possibility that Sabra may not acquire the remaining majority interest in the Enlivant joint venture; risks associated with our investments in joint ventures; changes in healthcare regulation and political or economic conditions; the impact of required regulatory approvals of transfers of healthcare properties; competitive conditions in our industry; our concentration in the healthcare property sector, particularly in skilled nursing/transitional care facilities and senior housing communities, which makes our profitability more vulnerable to a downturn in a specific sector than if we were investing in multiple industries; the significant amount of and our ability to service our indebtedness; covenants in our debt agreements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends, make investments, incur additional indebtedness and refinance indebtedness on favorable terms; increases in market interest rates; our ability to raise capital through equity and debt financings; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; the relatively illiquid nature of real estate investments; the loss of key management personnel or other employees; uninsured or underinsured losses affecting our properties and the possibility of environmental compliance costs and liabilities; the impact of a failure or security breach of information technology in our operations; our ability to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”); changes in tax laws and regulations affecting REITs (including the potential effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act); compliance with REIT requirements and certain tax and tax regulatory matters related to our status as a REIT; and the ownership limits and anti-takeover defenses in our governing documents and under Maryland law, which may restrict change of control or business combination opportunities.

Additional information concerning risks and uncertainties that could affect our business can be found in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. We do not intend, and we undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking information to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless required by law to do so.

(1)   Other normalizing items for FFO and AFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 include $6.3 million of acceleration of above market lease intangible amortization. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes $5.5 million of capitalized issuance costs related to our preferred stock issuance that were written off as a result of the June 1, 2018 preferred stock redemption and $0.6 million of expenses related to the previously anticipated refinancing of our senior notes, as well as legal fees related to the recovery of previously reserved cash rental income and non-Senior Housing - Managed operating expenses, partially offset by a contingency fee of $2.0 million earned during the period related to a legacy CCP investment and $0.9 million of interest income from a legacy CCP loan receivable that was fully repaid in June 2018, which represents the difference between the outstanding principal balance repaid and its discounted book value.
(2)   Merger and acquisition costs primarily relate to the CCP merger.


Adjusted EBITDA*
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) excluding the impact of merger-related costs, stock-based compensation expense under the Company’s long-term equity award program, and loan loss reserves. Adjusted EBITDA is an important non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance.

Ancillary Supported Tenant
A tenant, or one of its affiliates, that owns an ancillary business that depends on providing services to the residents of the properties leased by the affiliated operating company (Sabra’s tenant) for a meaningful part of the ancillary business’s profitability and has below market EBITDAR coverage.

Cash Net Operating Income (“Cash NOI”)*
The Company believes that net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. The Company considers Cash NOI an important supplemental measure because it allows investors, analysts and its management to evaluate the operating performance of its investments. The Company defines Cash NOI as total revenues less operating expenses and non-cash revenues. Cash NOI excludes all other financial statement amounts included in net income.

Consolidated Debt
The principal balances of the Company’s revolving credit facility, term loans, senior unsecured notes, and secured indebtedness as reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Enterprise Value
The Company believes Consolidated Enterprise Value is an important measurement as it is a measure of a company’s value. The Company calculates Consolidated Enterprise Value as market equity capitalization plus Consolidated Debt. Market equity capitalization is calculated as (i) the number of shares of common stock multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last day of the period presented plus (ii) the number of shares of preferred stock multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s preferred stock on the last day of the period presented. Consolidated Enterprise Value includes the Company’s market equity capitalization and Consolidated Debt, less cash and cash equivalents.

EBITDAR
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”) for a particular facility accruing to the operator/tenant of the property (not the Company) for the period presented. EBITDAR includes an imputed management fee of 5.0% of revenues for Skilled Nursing/Transitional Care facilities and Senior Housing - Leased communities and an imputed management fee of 2.5% of revenues for Specialty Hospitals and Other facilities. The Company uses EBITDAR in determining EBITDAR Coverage. EBITDAR has limitations as an analytical tool. EBITDAR does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for facility capital expenditures or contractual commitments. In addition, EBITDAR does not represent a property’s net income or cash flow from operations and should not be considered an alternative to those indicators. The Company utilizes EBITDAR as a supplemental measure of the ability of the Company’s operators/tenants and relevant guarantors to generate sufficient liquidity to meet related obligations to the Company.

EBITDAR Coverage
Represents the ratio of EBITDAR to cash rent for owned facilities (excluding Senior Housing - Managed communities) for the period presented. EBITDAR 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 EBITDAR. EBITDAR Coverage includes only Stabilized Facilities and excludes significant tenants with meaningful credit enhancement through guarantees (which include Genesis, Holiday and two legacy CCP tenants), one Ancillary Supported Tenant and facilities for which data is not available or meaningful.

EBITDARM
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent and management fees (“EBITDARM”) for a particular facility accruing to the operator/tenant of the property (not the Company), for the period presented. The Company uses EBITDARM in determining EBITDARM Coverage. The usefulness of EBITDARM is limited by the same factors that limit the usefulness of EBITDAR. Together with EBITDAR, the Company utilizes EBITDARM to evaluate the core operations of the properties by eliminating management fees, which vary based on operator/tenant and its operating structure.

EBITDARM Coverage
Represents the ratio of EBITDARM to cash rent for owned facilities (excluding Senior Housing - Managed communities) for the period presented. 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. EBITDARM Coverage includes only Stabilized Facilities and excludes significant tenants with meaningful credit enhancement through guarantees (which include Genesis, Holiday and two legacy CCP tenants), one Ancillary Supported Tenant and facilities for which data is not available or meaningful.

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
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 Attributable to Common Stockholders (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders (“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 attributable to common stockholders, 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 attributable to common stockholders, 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, net of amounts related to noncontrolling interests, plus the Company’s share of depreciation and amortization related to our unconsolidated joint venture, and real estate impairment charges. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding merger and acquisition costs, stock-based compensation expense, straight-line rental income adjustments, amortization of above and below market lease intangibles, non-cash interest income adjustments, non-cash interest expense, change in fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash portion of loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for doubtful straight-line rental income, loan losses and other reserves and deferred income taxes, as well as other non-cash revenue and expense items (including ineffectiveness gain/loss on derivative instruments, and non-cash revenue and expense amounts related to noncontrolling interests) and our share of non-cash adjustments related to our unconsolidated joint venture. 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 the applicable items listed above, 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 does.

Investment
Represents the carrying amount of real estate assets after adding back accumulated depreciation and amortization and excludes net intangible assets and liabilities. Investment also includes the Company’s pro rata share of the real estate assets held in the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture.

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

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)*
The Company believes that net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. The Company considers NOI an important supplemental measure because it allows investors, analysts and its management to evaluate the operating performance of its investments. The Company defines NOI as total revenues less operating expenses. NOI excludes all other financial statement amounts included in net income.

Normalized FFO and Normalized AFFO*
Normalized FFO and Normalized AFFO represent FFO and AFFO, respectively, adjusted for certain income and expense items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing operating results. The Company considers Normalized FFO and Normalized AFFO to be useful measures to evaluate the Company’s operating results excluding these income and expense items to help investors compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies. Normalized FFO and Normalized 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 Normalized 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 Normalized FFO and Normalized AFFO may not be comparable to Normalized FFO and Normalized 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 FFO and AFFO or Normalized FFO and Normalized AFFO differently than the Company does.

Occupancy Percentage
Occupancy Percentage represents the facilities’ average operating occupancy for the period indicated. The percentages are calculated by dividing the actual census from the period presented by the available beds/units for the same period. Occupancy includes only Stabilized Facilities and excludes facilities for which data is not available or meaningful. Occupancy Percentage for the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture is weighted to reflect the Company’s pro rata share.

REVPOR
REVPOR represents the average revenues generated per occupied room per month at Senior Housing - Managed communities for the period indicated. It is calculated as resident fees and services revenues divided by average monthly occupied room days. REVPOR includes only Stabilized Facilities. REVPOR for the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture is weighted to reflect the Company’s pro rata share.

Senior Housing
Senior Housing communities include independent living, assisted living, continuing care retirement and memory care communities.

Skilled Mix
Skilled Mix is defined as the total Medicare and non-Medicaid managed care patient revenue at Skilled Nursing/Transitional Care facilities divided by the total revenues at Skilled Nursing/Transitional Care facilities for the period indicated. Skilled Mix includes only Stabilized Facilities and excludes facilities for which data is not available or meaningful.

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

Specialty Hospitals and Other
Includes acute care, long-term acute care, rehabilitation and behavioral hospitals, facilities that provide residential services, which may include assistance with activities of daily living, and other facilities not classified as Skilled Nursing/Transitional Care or Senior Housing.

Stabilized Facility
At the time of acquisition, the Company classifies each facility as either stabilized or pre-stabilized. In addition, the Company may classify a facility as pre-stabilized after acquisition. Circumstances that could result in a facility being classified as pre-stabilized include 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 reclassified to stabilized upon maintaining consistent occupancy (85% for Skilled Nursing/Transitional Care facilities and 90% for Senior Housing communities) but in no event beyond 24 months after the date of classification as pre-stabilized. Stabilized Facilities exclude (i) Senior Housing - Managed communities, (ii) facilities held for sale, (iii) facilities being sold pursuant to the Company’s CCP portfolio repositioning, (iv) facilities being transitioned to a new operator, (v) facilities being transitioned from leased by the Company to being operated by the Company; and (vi) facilities acquired during the three months preceding the period presented.

Total Debt
Consolidated Debt plus the Company’s pro rata share of the principal balances of the debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture.

Total Enterprise Value
Consolidated Enterprise Value plus the Company’s pro rata share of the principal balances of the debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture.
