News Release: CareTrust REIT Announces Third Quarter 2022 Operating Results

Conference Call Scheduled for Wednesday, November 9, 2022 at 1:00 pm ET

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., (BUSINESS WIRE)–CareTrust REIT, Inc. (NYSE:CTRE) today reported operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, as well as other recent events.

For the quarter, CareTrust REIT reported:

  • 93.4% of contractual rents collected;
  • Net income of $0.7 million and net income per share of $0.01;
  • Normalized FFO of $36.1 million and normalized FFO per share of $0.37;
  • Normalized FAD of $38.0 million and normalized FAD per share of $0.39; and
  • A quarterly dividend of $0.275 per share, representing a payout ratio of approximately 71% on normalized FAD.

Operating Environment

CareTrust’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Dave Sedgwick, discussed the business environment and the Company’s Q3 results. “Healthcare has traditionally been a hedge against downturns. Recessionary pressures, historically, have provided a net-benefit for our operators as demand and pricing for their services is unchanged while tight labor markets tend to loosen. Today, the tight debt market is also causing sellers to prioritize transactional partners like us who present more certainty to close,” Mr. Sedgwick said. Turning to the quarter, Mr. Sedgwick said, “Given the macroeconomic conditions, we are pleased to report both stable portfolio lease coverage and significant progress on the portfolio optimization plan for the year with the sale of the Trio skilled nursing portfolio in September.”

Key Metrics and Operator Conference

Looking at the quarter, Mr. Sedgwick commented on rent and occupancy data. He said, “We collected approximately 93% of contractual rents, including cash deposits, in the quarter.” He added that average quarterly occupancy for skilled nursing operators grew by 0.7%, or 53 basis points, over Q2. And, for seniors housing, occupancy grew 1.7%, or 131 basis points. “All things considered, Q3 was a good quarter for us and Q4 started off much the same,” Mr. Sedgwick said.

The Company recently hosted its Operator Conference to facilitate best practice sharing and operating expertise. Commenting on the conference, Mr. Sedgwick said, “I had a few major takeaways from the conference. First, we have chosen to support some of the most elite operators in the country. Second, we are deeply grateful for the leadership, sacrifices, and difference our operators are making in the communities they serve. And third, assuming the deals that cross our desk are actionable, we are poised to expand existing relationships and to back new operators next year.”

Portfolio

James Callister, Executive Vice President, provided an update on the portfolio optimization work this year. “We are pleased to report progress on this year’s portfolio repositioning plan with the sale of the Trio skilled nursing portfolio for $52 million,” he said. He noted that the Company’s seniors housing properties held for sale continue to make progress towards either disposition or re-tenanting.

With regards to new investments, during the quarter, the Company funded a $22.3 million B-piece secured financing on a 5-asset skilled nursing portfolio located in California. The portfolio includes approximately 600 skilled nursing beds.

The Company also funded a $24.9 million B-piece secured financing on a 4-asset skilled nursing portfolio located in the Southeast. The portfolio includes approximately 700 skilled nursing beds. “This debt investment provided an opportunity to forge a new relationship with a Southeast operator with whom we expect to grow through asset acquisitions in the future,” Mr. Callister said.

Pipeline

The Company’s Chief Investment Officer, Mark Lamb, commented on the current market for acquisitions and the Company’s pipeline. He said, “The rising cost of debt is impacting many potential buyers and we’re seeing sellers and brokers prioritize certainty more than ever before. We believe this to be a primary driver for the increase in deals crossing our desk.” Mr. Lamb continued, “As usual, sellers’ pricing expectations haven’t moved as quickly as buyers’ and we are in a window of price discovery today. We are open for business heading into 2023 and are working with current and future operators to continue our history of disciplined growth.”

Financial Results for Quarter Ended September 30, 2022

Chief Financial Officer, Bill Wagner, reported that, for the third quarter, CareTrust reported net income of $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted weighted-average common share, normalized FFO of $36.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted weighted-average common share, and normalized FAD of $38.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted weighted-average common share.

Liquidity

As of quarter end, CareTrust reported net debt-to-annualized normalized run rate EBITDA of 4.2x, which is within the Company’s target leverage range of 4.0x to 5.0x, and a net debt-to-enterprise value of approximately 30.6%. Mr. Wagner stated that as of today, the Company had approximately $195 million outstanding on its $600 million revolving credit line, with no scheduled debt maturities prior to 2024. He also disclosed that CareTrust currently has approximately $19 million in cash on hand. He further noted that the Company currently has approximately $476.5 million in available authorization remaining on its at-the-market equity program. “With substantial availability on our revolver, and equity markets readily accessible to us at present, we continue to have a wide range of capital options for funding our opportunistic growth strategy,” said Mr. Wagner.

Dividend Maintained

During the quarter, CareTrust declared a quarterly dividend of $0.275 per common share. On an annualized basis, the payout ratio was approximately 74% based on third quarter 2022 normalized FFO, and 71% based on normalized FAD.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA represents net income before interest expense (including amortization of deferred financing costs), amortization of stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization. Normalized EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of core operating performance, such as recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, property operating expenses, gains or losses from dispositions of real estate, real estate impairment charges, provision for loan losses, non-routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized loss on other real estate related investments and provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, as applicable. EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA 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. EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements, including the Company’s ability to fund capital expenditures or make payments on its indebtedness. Further, the Company’s computation of EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA reported by other REITs.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. 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. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, Nareit created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP.

FFO is defined by Nareit as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from dispositions of real estate investments, real estate related depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company computes FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition.

FAD is defined as FFO excluding noncash income and expenses, such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees and the effects of straight-line rent. The Company considers FAD to be a useful supplemental measure to evaluate the Company’s operating results excluding these income and expense items to help investors, analysts and other interested parties compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies on a more consistent basis.

In addition, the Company reports Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD, which adjust FFO and FAD for certain revenue and expense items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing operating results, such as provision for loan losses, non-routine transaction costs, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized loss on other real estate related investments, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue and property operating expenses. By excluding these items, investors, analysts and our management can compare Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD between periods more consistently.

While FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD are relevant and widely-used measures of operating performance among REITs, they 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. FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements.

Further, the Company’s computation of FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD may not be comparable to FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD 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 FAD differently than the Company does.

The Company believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. The Company also believes that the use of EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. The Company considers EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA useful in understanding the Company’s operating results independent of its capital structure, indebtedness and other charges that are not indicative of its ongoing results, thereby allowing for a more meaningful comparison of operating performance between periods and against other REITs. The Company considers FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD 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 related depreciation and amortization, and, for FAD and Normalized FAD, by excluding noncash income and expenses such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees, and the effects of straight-line rent, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD can help investors compare the Company’s operating performance between periods and to other REITs.
