CareTrust REIT Announces Third Quarter 2019 Operating Results

Conference Call Scheduled for Friday, November 8, 2019 at 1:00 pm ET

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., November 7, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareTrust REIT, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTRE) today reported operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, as well as other recent events.

For the quarter, CareTrust REIT reported:


•	Net loss of $10.1 million and net loss per diluted weighted-average common share of $0.11;


•	Normalized FFO of $33.6 million and normalized FFO per diluted weighted-average common share of $0.35;


•	Normalized FAD of $34.5 million and normalized FAD per diluted weighted-average common share of $0.36; and


•	A net debt-to-normalized EBITDA ratio of 3.4x, and a net debt-to-enterprise value of 20%, each as of quarter-end.

Spring Cleaning

Speaking of the Company’s progress during the quarter, Greg Stapley, CareTrust's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, reiterated that the Company’s record acquisition pace in the first half of the year, along with its conservative leverage levels, had allowed the Company to critically reexamine its portfolio for key re-tenanting and capital recycling opportunities. “As we previewed with last quarter’s results, after five full years of successful growth and diversification we recognized the need to do a deep dive on our portfolio and take a critical look at certain assets and relationships,” said Mr. Stapley. “As a result, we made affirmative moves that we believe have strengthened our overall portfolio by disposing of a few less desirable assets, moving other assets into stronger hands and restructuring or terminating relations with specific tenants,” he said.

Mr. Stapley characterized the exercise as a necessary part of a “regular and robust asset management process” in which every landlord should engage periodically. “We are committed to detecting and tackling small problems while they are still small, and believe this rigorous approach enhances accountability and promotes long term success both for us and our operating partners,” he said. David Sedgwick, CareTrust REIT’s Chief Operating Officer, added, “As a result of these changes, both the lease coverages and the tenant credits that back our overall portfolio are stronger than ever, and we believe our portfolio and tenant roster are very solid heading into 2020 and beyond.”

Financial Results for Quarter Ended September 30, 2019

Chief Financial Officer Bill Wagner reported that, for the third quarter, CareTrust generated a net loss of $10.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted weighted-average common share, normalized FFO of $33.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted weighted-average common share, and normalized FAD of $34.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted weighted-average common share. “We are pleased to be delivering a quarter-over-quarter increase in both normalized FFO and normalized FAD while simultaneously maintaining industry-low leverage and positioning CareTrust for future growth,” said Mr. Wagner.

Mr. Wagner reported that the quarter’s GAAP financial results were impacted by the several restructuring efforts simultaneously undertaken by the Company in the quarter. “The changes we made resulted in total impairments of $16.7 million, adjustments and write-offs of straight-line and other rent of $12.1 million, and a provision for loan loss of $1.1 million,” he said. “These one-time adjustments were a necessary part of our hands-on asset management philosophy, and we expect that the longer-term benefit of this quarter’s changes is a stronger and much more predictable platform to grow from in 2020,” he added.

Liquidity

Discussing the Company’s balance sheet, Mr. Wagner reported that, as of quarter end, CareTrust’s net debt-to-normalized EBITDA ratio was approximately 3.4x and its net debt-to-enterprise value was approximately 20%. “Our current debt levels continue to be well under management’s stated target leverage range of 4.0x to 5.0x net debt-to-normalized EBITDA, allowing us substantial optionality with respect to how we choose to fund significant growth going forward,” he said.

2019 Guidance Update & 2020 Guidance Preview

The Company updated its guidance for 2019, with Mr. Wagner projecting on a per-diluted weighted-average common share basis net income of approximately $0.46 to $0.47, normalized FFO of approximately $1.36 to $1.37, and normalized FAD of approximately $1.40 to $1.41. He noted that the 2019 guidance is based on a diluted weighted-average common share count of 93.4 million shares and assumes no new acquisitions or dispositions beyond those completed or announced to date, no new debt incurrences or new equity issuances, and estimated 1.75% CPI-based rent escalators under CareTrust's long-term net leases.

Mr. Wagner also noted that the recent adjustments in CareTrust’s portfolio had provided early visibility into the Company’s estimated earnings for 2020. “We are projecting normalized FFO per share of $1.36 to $1.38, and normalized FAD per share of $1.40 to $1.42,” he said. “The 2020 guidance includes all investments made to date plus the expected fourth quarter acquisition of CareTrust’s remaining preferred equity investment, all portfolio adjustments made to date, the application of announced property sale proceeds to outstanding borrowings on the Company’s revolver, a diluted weighted-average share count of 95.6 million shares, no additional investments or dispositions, no debt or equity issuances, and inflation-based rent escalators at an average of 1.75%,” he added.

Portfolio Growth and Other Changes in the Quarter and Since

During the third quarter, CareTrust acquired a 96-operating bed assisted living facility in Escondido, California, and leased it to Bayshire, LLC. The total investment was approximately $12.6 million, inclusive of transaction costs, and the new master lease carries an initial annual cash rent of approximately $1.0 million. CareTrust funded the acquisition using cash on hand.

On September 1, 2019, the Company sold three of the seven Ohio properties that were formerly leased to Trillium Healthcare Group, LLC for $28.0 million, and leased the remaining four to affiliates of Providence Group, an existing CareTrust tenant with operations in Ohio and elsewhere. “The Ohio transactions allowed us to dispose of a couple challenging facilities and install an operator in the remaining assets with more experience and resources in the region, while allowing Trillium to refocus their efforts in Iowa and Georgia,” said Mr. Sedgwick.

On October 1, 2019, CareTrust acquired a 70-bed skilled nursing facility in Modesto, California, and a 99-bed skilled nursing and 72-unit assisted living campus in Sacramento, California. The facilities were both leased to Kalesta Healthcare, LLC. The total initial investment for the two assets was approximately $22.8 million, inclusive of transaction costs. Scheduled cash rent for the first two years is approximately $3.9 million, with CPI-based escalators thereafter.

On November 1, 2019, CareTrust replaced longtime tenant Priority Life Care, LLC in a portfolio of seven assisted living facilities located in Florida, Maryland, Indiana and Wisconsin. The new operator is Noble Health Services.

During the quarter, CareTrust concluded that six skilled nursing facilities located in Michigan and operated by Metron Integrated Health Systems met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The Michigan assets are now under contract to sell for $37.0 million, subject to normal diligence, transfer documentation and licensure. Mr. Sedgwick said that the Company expects the transaction to close within the next few months.

Dividend Declared

During the quarter, CareTrust declared a quarterly dividend of $0.225 per common share. “On an annualized basis, our quarterly dividend represents a payout ratio of approximately 64% based on the third quarter 2019 normalized FFO, and 63% on normalized FAD,” said Mr. Wagner. “At this level, our dividend remains among the best-protected of all our industry peers, while simultaneously providing additional growth capital for reinvestment and a solid overall return to our shareholders,” he added.

A conference call will be held on Friday, November 8, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (10:00 a.m. Pacific Time), during which CareTrust’s management will discuss third quarter 2019 results, recent developments and other matters.

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 real estate impairment charges, provision for loan losses, provision for doubtful accounts, property operating expenses and gains or losses from dispositions of real estate or other real estate. 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. However, 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 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.
