    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 08 11月 2021 08:02:52   America/Chicago

    SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Nov. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareTrust REIT, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTRE) today reported operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as well as other recent events.

    For the quarter, CareTrust REIT reported:

    • 96.2% of contractual rents collected;
    • Net income of $11.9 million and net income per share of $0.12;
    • Normalized FFO of $36.7 million, a 13.0% increase over the prior year, and normalized FFO per share of $0.38;
    • Normalized FAD of $39.0 million, a 15.1% increase over the prior year, and normalized FAD per share of $0.40;
    • A quarterly dividend of $0.265 per share, representing a payout ratio of approximately 66% on normalized FAD; and
    • A $0.01 per share increase on the low end to previously-released 2021 guidance, to normalized FFO of approximately $1.49 to $1.50 per share and normalized FAD of approximately $1.58 to $1.59 per share.

    Occupancy Recovery Continues

    “The occupancy recovery that began earlier this year for our skilled nursing providers has continued though the third quarter,” said Greg Stapley, CareTrust’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. He reported that skilled nursing census grew from June's 69.7% to 71.5% in September. “Skilled nursing occupancy is growing steadily month by month towards the pre-pandemic level of 77.7%,” he noted. He also reported that almost 60% of CareTrust’s skilled nursing facilities are now within 90% of their pre-pandemic census or better, and that overall skilled mix remained elevated at 18.4% in September, about 300 basis points over pre-pandemic levels. “Our outstanding operators and their teams are doing a fantastic job of turning the corner on the pandemic,” he said.

    He sounded a note of caution, however, stating that while gains on the census and revenue front are welcome news, they are only half of the equation. He warned that a shortage of qualified workers and a sharp increase in labor costs is a growing challenge, especially as patient and resident counts rise. “Several of our tenants report turning patients away, simply because they lack the necessary staff to care for more,” Mr. Stapley said.

    Discussing progress on the labor front, Dave Sedgwick, CareTrust’s President and Chief Operating Officer, reported that as of October, several CareTrust tenants have successfully reduced their use of expensive temporary or “agency” labor by significant amounts. “Providers who now apply the same intensity and systems to acquiring talent that they have used in the past to acquire patients are starting to see significant increases to hiring and to reducing staff turnover despite the widespread labor shortages,” he added.

    Mr. Sedgwick also commented on the upcoming Phase 4 release of additional provider relief funding. “The provider relief funding has been critical for most of our tenants and several still need it,” he said. “This Phase 4 round is especially important for our assisted living operators who haven’t benefited previously to the same degree as our skilled nursing tenants,” he added. Noting that the exact amount of funding for individual providers has not yet been determined, Mr. Sedgwick expressed optimism that the funding will be highly beneficial for the operators who are still working their way back to profitability.

    Financial Results for Quarter Ended September 30, 2021

    Chief Financial Officer Bill Wagner reported that, for the third quarter, CareTrust generated net income of $11.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted weighted-average common share, normalized FFO of $36.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted weighted-average common share, and normalized FAD of $39.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted weighted-average common share.

    Liquidity

    As of quarter end, CareTrust reported net debt-to-annualized normalized run rate EBITDA of 3.7x, well under the Company's target leverage range of 4.0x to 5.0x, and a net debt-to-enterprise value of approximately 25.1%. Mr. Wagner stated that as of today the Company had approximately $80 million outstanding on its $600 million revolving credit line, with no scheduled debt maturities prior to 2024. He also disclosed that CareTrust currently has more than $22 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.

    Continued Portfolio Growth

    During the quarter, CareTrust acquired the 119-bed Sedona Trace Health & Wellness Center in Austin, Texas and the 122-bed Cedar Pointe Health & Wellness Center in nearby Cedar Park. The properties were leased to affiliates of The Ensign Group, Inc. The approximately $32.5 million purchase price was funded using CareTrust’s $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The investment brought CareTrust’s year-to-date capital deployment to approximately $184.2 million, almost all sourced in off-market transactions.

    Mark Lamb, CareTrust's Chief Investment Officer, reported that pricing for both skilled nursing and seniors housing assets continues to be disconnected from current and historical operating performance. “We understand perfectly why recent performance is less relevant, but recovery projections and other future operating assumptions being used by some buyers appear to be very aggressive,” said Mr. Lamb. “For our part, we continue to underwrite carefully and look for good opportunities, and are content to let overpriced assets go to less experienced and ultra-high leverage buyers,” he added. Mr. Lamb quoted CareTrust’s active deal pipeline as being in the $125 million to $150 million range, noting that it is mostly comprised of single assets and smaller portfolios, and is currently weighted roughly equally between skilled nursing and seniors housing assets.

    2021 Guidance Updated

    CareTrust updated its annual guidance for 2021, on a per-diluted weighted-average common share basis, increasing net income on the low end to approximately $0.80 to $0.81, and increasing normalized FFO to approximately $1.49 to $1.50 and normalized FAD to approximately $1.58 to $1.59. The guidance is based on a diluted weighted-average common share count of 96.5 million shares, and per CareTrust's standard practice includes all investments, dispositions and loan repayments made to date, and assumes no new acquisitions, dispositions, new loans or loan repayments beyond those completed or announced to date, no new debt incurrences or new equity issuances, and estimated 2.0% CPI-based rent escalators under CareTrust's long-term net leases escalating in the remainder of 2021.

    Mr. Wagner sounded a note of caution, however, alluding to the ongoing effects of the global pandemic and the operating headwinds still facing the Company’s tenants, especially assisted living providers that have received little to no government financial support to date. “Naturally, we note that material changes in economic and other factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the government’s responses thereto and the resulting impact on our tenants’ abilities to timely pay rent could alter our outlook at any time,” Mr. Wagner concluded.

    Dividend Maintained

    During the quarter, CareTrust declared a quarterly dividend of $0.265 per common share. On an annualized basis, the payout ratio was approximately 70% based on third quarter 2021 normalized FFO, and 66% 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, loss on extinguishment of debt, 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 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, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, loss on extinguishment of debt, 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 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.
