NEWS PROVIDED BY Welltower Inc.

07:30 ET

TOLEDO, OhioNov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Welltower Inc. (NYSE: HCN) today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. For the quarter, we generated net income attributable to common stockholders of $0.20 per share and normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders of $1.08 per share.

Quarterly Highlights
  • Seniors housing operating SSNOI grew 4.1% and SS REVPOR grew 3.9%
  • Increasing total SSNOI guidance to 2.5%-3% from 2.25%-3% due to continued strong seniors housing operating performance
  • Increasing normalized FFO guidance to $4.19 to $4.25 per diluted share from $4.15 to $4.25 per diluted share due to increased SSNOI guidance and revised dispositions timing
  • Net debt to undepreciated book capitalization declined to 35.5% from 39.5% at 9/30/16
  • Net debt to adjusted EBITDA improved to 5.19x from 5.65x in 3Q16
  • Gary Whitelaw, CEO of Bentall Kennedy Group, appointed to Board of Directors

“We are pleased to again report a very strong quarter, headlined by our seniors housing operating performance,” commented CEO Tom DeRosa.  “Our superior real estate, concentrated in major metro markets, and our deep collaborative efforts with our operators continues to lead to exceptional results. The conversion of Sagora Senior Living from a triple-net tenant to a RIDEA operating partner illustrates the advantage and depth of the Welltower platform.”

Capital Activity On September 30, 2017, we had $236 million of cash and cash equivalents and $2.6 billion of available borrowing capacity under our primary unsecured credit facility. During the third quarter, we extinguished $15 million of secured debt during the quarter, bringing our year to date retirement of debt and preferred securities to $1.3 billion at a blended average rate of 5.6%.

Outlook for 2017 Net income attributable to common stockholders has been revised to a range of $2.09 to $2.15 per diluted share from the previous range of $2.32 to $2.42 per diluted share primarily due to the normalizing items in Exhibit 1. We are increasing our 2017 normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders guidance and now expect to report in a range of $4.19 to $4.25 per diluted share as compared to the previous range of $4.15 to $4.25 per diluted share.  The increase is primarily attributable to increased SSNOI guidance and revised dispositions timing. As previously disclosed, we no longer report FAD, primarily because it could be considered a liquidity metric, but we do provide relevant data components. In preparing our guidance, we have updated the following assumptions:

  • Same Store NOI: We are increasing SSNOI guidance and now expect average blended SSNOI growth of approximately 2.5%-3% in 2017, up from 2.25%-3% primarily due to better than expected performance in our seniors housing operating portfolio for the year-to-date.
  • Acquisitions: 2017 earnings guidance excludes any additional potential acquisitions beyond what has been announced.
  • Development: We anticipate funding additional development of approximately $87 million in 2017 relating to projects underway on September 30, 2017. We expect development conversions during the remainder of 2017 of approximately $76 million, which are currently expected to generate stabilized yields of approximately 9.3%. These projections exclude the development projects in London and midtown Manhattan which are still in the planning stages.
  • Dispositions: We are increasing dispositions guidance and now anticipate approximately $2.4 billion of disposition proceeds, up from $2 billion, at a blended yield of 7.4% in 2017. This includes approximately $1.4 billion of proceeds from dispositions completed as of September 30, 2017, and $1.0 billion of incremental proceeds from other potential loan payoffs and property sales which are generally expected to occur during the second half of the fourth quarter or later.

Our guidance does not include any additional investments, dispositions or capital transactions beyond what we have announced, nor any transaction costs, impairments, unanticipated additions to the loan loss reserve or other additional normalizing items.  Please see the exhibits for a reconciliation of the outlook for net income available to common stockholders to normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders.  We will provide additional detail regarding our 2017 outlook and assumptions on the third quarter 2017 conference call.

Dividend Growth As previously announced, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 of $0.87 per share, as compared to $0.86 per share for the same period in 2016.  On November 20, 2017, we will pay our 186th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.  The declaration and payment of future quarterly dividends remains subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors.

Investment and Disposition Activity We completed $381 million of pro rata gross investments for the quarter including $304 million in acquisitions/JVs, $70 million in development funding and $7 million in loans.  95% of these investments were completed with existing relationships. Acquisitions/JVs were comprised of three separate transactions at a blended yield of 6.5%. The development fundings are expected to yield 7.9% upon stabilization and the loans were made at a blended rate of 7.8%. We also placed into service three development projects totaling $48 million at a blended stabilized yield of 8.4%. Also during the quarter, we completed total dispositions of $84 million consisting of loan payoffs of $51 million at an average yield of 8.3% and property sales of $33 million at a blended yield on proceeds of 8.0%.

Notable Investments with Existing Operating Partners

Sagora Senior Living We expanded and recast our relationship with Sagora by acquiring three purpose-built, private pay seniors housing properties located in the Houston and San Antonio, TX MSAs. The purchase price based on a 100% ownership interest was $166 million which equates to a 7.3% cap rate based on stabilized NOI. The properties were acquired via an off-market transaction.  The properties, which were built in 2013, 2014 and 2015, were contributed into a recently formed joint venture initially seeded with 11 previously triple-net leased assets operated by Sagora. The remaining 15 assets in this relationship remain in a triple-net lease structure. The transitioned assets, which had higher lease coverage than our remaining seniors housing triple-net portfolio, were removed from coverage metrics and will not be included in our same store seniors housing operating pool for 5 quarters per our policy. Since completing our initial $8.5 million acquisition in 2010, we have completed $615 million of follow-on pro rata investments with Sagora.

Sunrise Senior Living We expanded our relationship with Sunrise by purchasing the remaining 76% interest in three purpose-built, private pay seniors housing properties developed and managed by Sunrise. Welltower previously funded 24% of the development cost for the communities in a joint venture. The communities opened in 2015 and 2016 and are located in the San FranciscoLos Angeles and Columbus MSAs. The purchase price based on a 100% ownership interest was $180 million, which equates to a blended cap rate of 5.7%. Sunrise will continue to manage the communities under an incentive-based management contract. Since our initial $243 million acquisition in 2012, we have completed $5.2 billion of follow-on pro rata investments with Sunrise.

Notable Investments with New Operating Partners

Encore Care Homes We initiated a relationship with Encore Care Homes in the U.K. through the acquisition of 100% ownership interest and leaseback of a 60-unit private pay focused seniors housing property located on the south coast of England in the Southampton MSA. The property opened in 2013, was purchased for £13 million and is subject to a long-term master lease with an initial lease yield of 6.8% that increases annually by RPI plus 25 basis points with a 2.0% floor and 4.0% cap. The parties agreed to a development partnership through which Encore or its affiliates will provide Welltower the exclusive option to acquire £250 million of its development pipeline upon stabilization at formulaic prices. Any pipeline development properties acquired will be added to the Encore master lease.

Notable Development Conversions

Sunrise Senior Living We expanded our relationships with Sunrise and Revera by completing the development of a private pay seniors housing property located in the London MSA for £18 million based on 100% ownership interest. Revera is a 25% joint venture partner. The purchase price represents a 9.5% stabilized return on cost. Since closing our initial $243 million acquisition in 2012, we have completed $5.2 billion of follow-on pro rata investments with Sunrise.

Avery Healthcare We expanded our relationship with Avery by completing the development of a 64-unit senior housing property located in the London MSA. The investment amount was £13 million based on 100% ownership interest and the property was added to an existing master lease at an initial lease yield of 8.6%. The lease has 3% annual escalators and is guaranteed corporately by Avery. Since closing our initial $204 million acquisition/leaseback in 2013, we have completed $641 million of follow-on pro rata investments with Avery.

Conference Call Information We have scheduled a conference call on Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss our third quarter 2017 results, industry trends, portfolio performance and outlook for 2017. Telephone access will be available by dialing 888-346-2469 or 706-758-4923 (international).  For those unable to listen to the call live, a taped rebroadcast will be available beginning two hours after completion of the call through November 21, 2017.

Supplemental Reporting Measures We believe that revenues, net income and net income attributable to common stockholders (NICS), as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), are the most appropriate earnings measurements. However, we consider funds from operations (FFO), net operating income (NOI), same store net operating income (SSNOI), same store revenues per occupied room (SS REVPOR), and Adjusted EBITDA (A-EBITDA) to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. Excluding A-EBITDA, these supplemental measures are disclosed on our pro rata ownership basis. Pro rata amounts are derived by reducing consolidated amounts for minority partners’ noncontrolling ownership interests and adding our minority ownership share of unconsolidated amounts. We do not control unconsolidated investments. While we consider pro rata disclosures useful, they may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of our joint venture arrangements and should be used with caution.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time as evidenced by the provision for depreciation. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. In response, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation from net income. FFO attributable to common stockholders, as defined by NAREIT, means net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate and impairments of depreciable assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests.   Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders represents FFO attributable to common stockholders adjusted for certain items detailed in Exhibit 1.  We believe that normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance because investors and equity analysts may use this measure to compare the operating performance of the company between periods or as compared to other REITs or other companies on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated and/or incalculable items.

We define NOI as total revenues, including tenant reimbursements, less property operating expenses.  Property operating expenses represent costs associated with managing, maintaining and servicing tenants for our seniors housing operating and outpatient medical properties.  These expenses include, but are not limited to, property-related payroll and benefits, property management fees paid to operators, marketing, housekeeping, food service, maintenance, utilities, property taxes and insurance.  General and administrative expenses represent costs unrelated to property operations or transaction costs.  These expenses include, but are not limited to, payroll and benefits, professional services, office expenses and depreciation of corporate fixed assets.

SSNOI is used to evaluate the operating performance of our properties under a consistent population which eliminates changes in the composition of our portfolio.  As used herein, same store is generally defined as those revenue-generating properties in the portfolio for the relevant year-over-year reporting periods.  Land parcels, loans, sub-leases and major capital restructurings as well as any properties acquired, developed/redeveloped, transitioned, sold or classified as held for sale during that period are excluded from the same store amounts.  Normalizers include adjustments that in management’s opinion are appropriate in considering SSNOI, a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure.  None of these adjustments, which may increase or decrease SSNOI, are reflected in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Significant normalizers (defined as any that individually exceed 0.50% of SSNOI growth per property type) are separately disclosed and explained in the relevant supplemental information package. We believe SSNOI provides investors relevant and useful information because it measures the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. No reconciliation of the forecasted range for SSNOI on a combined or segment basis for fiscal year 2017 is included in this release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts, and we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

REVPOR represents the average revenues generated per occupied room per month at our seniors housing operating properties.  It is calculated as the pro rata version of resident fees and services revenues per the income statement divided by average monthly occupied room days.  SS REVPOR is used to evaluate the REVPOR performance of our properties under a consistent population which eliminates changes in the composition of our portfolio. It is based on the same pool of properties used for SSNOI and includes any revenue normalizations used for SSNOI. We use REVPOR and SS REVPOR to evaluate the revenue-generating capacity and profit potential of our seniors housing operating portfolio independent of fluctuating occupancy rates. They are also used in comparison against industry and competitor statistics, if known, to evaluate the quality of our seniors housing operating portfolio.

We measure our credit strength both in terms of leverage ratios and coverage ratios. The leverage ratios indicate how much of our balance sheet capitalization is related to long-term debt, net of cash and IRC section 1031 deposits. We expect to maintain capitalization ratios and coverage ratios sufficient to maintain a capital structure consistent with our current profile. The coverage ratios are based on EBITDA which stands for earnings (net income per income statement) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Covenants in our senior unsecured notes contain financial ratios based on a definition of EBITDA that is specific to those agreements.  Failure to satisfy these covenants could result in an event of default that could have a material adverse impact on our cost and availability of capital, which could in turn have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition.  Due to the materiality of these debt agreements and the financial covenants, we have defined A-EBITDA to exclude unconsolidated entities and to include adjustments for stock-based compensation expense, provision for loan losses, gains/losses on extinguishment of debt, transactions costs, gains/losses/impairments on properties, gains/losses on derivatives and other non-recurring and/or non-cash income/charges. We believe that A-EBITDA, along with net income and cash flow provided from operating activities, is an important supplemental measure because it provides additional information to assess and evaluate the performance of our operations. Our leverage ratios include net debt to undepreciated book capitalization and net debt to A-EBITDA. Undepreciated book capitalization represents book capitalization adjusted for accumulated depreciation and amortization. Book capitalization represents the sum of net debt (defined as total long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and any IRC section 1031 deposits), total equity and redeemable noncontrolling interests.

Our supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and ratings agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies.  Our management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to historical operating results and in making operating decisions.  Additionally, they are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management.  The supplemental reporting measures do not represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity.  Finally, the supplemental reporting measures, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts or other companies.  Please see the exhibits for reconciliations of supplemental reporting measures and the supplemental information package for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, which is available on the company’s website (www.welltower.com), for information and reconciliations of additional supplemental reporting measures.
