Results of Operations
Three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to three months ended December 31, 2021
Revenues
Resident revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $53.4 million as compared to $49.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $4.0 million, or 8.1%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased occupancy, increased average rent rates, and the acquisition of two Indiana communities during the first quarter of 2022.
Management fee revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $0.1 million as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of managing fewer communities in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Managed community reimbursement revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $5.6 million as compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $2.0 million. The decrease was primarily a result of transitioning two Fannie Mae communities to other operators in the fourth quarter of 2021.


Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were $45.1 million as compared to $42.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $2.8 million. The increase is primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in labor and employee-related expenses, a $0.5 million increase in insurance costs, a $0.5 million increase in casualty losses, a $0.3 million increase in utility costs, and a $0.2 million increase in property taxes.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were $6.7 million as compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $1.4 million. This decrease is primarily due to a $0.7 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.9 million decrease in bonus.
Managed community reimbursement expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $5.6 million as compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $2.0 million. The decrease was primarily a result of transitioning of legal ownership of three Fannie Mae communities to other operators in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $9.3 million as compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, representing an increase of $0.6 million primarily due to higher interest rates associated with the Company’s variable rate debt during the fourth quarter of 2022.
Gain on extinguishment of debt was $31.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, with no comparable amount during the three months ended December 31, 2022. The 2021 gain related to the derecognition of notes payable and liabilities as a result of the transition of legal ownership of three communities to Fannie Mae, the holder of the related non-recourse debt.
The Company reported a net loss of $16.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Major factors impacting the comparison of net income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include gain on extinguishment of debt of $31.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 referenced above, which was partially offset by improved year over year operational performance.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $4.6 million compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA excluding COVID-19 expenses was $4.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to three months ended September 30, 2022
Revenues
Resident revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $53.4 million as compared to $52.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, representing an increase of $0.9 million, or 1.8%.  The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased occupancy and increased average rent rates during the fourth quarter of 2022.
Management fee revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $0.5 million as compared to $0.6 million for three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily as a result of managing fewer communities during the fourth quarter of 2022 in connection with a planned transition of four communities in October 2022.
Managed community reimbursement revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 were $5.6 million and $7.7 million, respectively. The decrease is primarily a result of the corresponding decrease in reimbursements of operating expenses, as described below.
Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were $45.1 million as compared to $43.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $2.0 million. The increase is primarily due to $0.4 million increase in labor costs, $0.8 million increase in casualty loss related to a December ice storm, $0.2 million increase in supplies, and $0.4 million increase in all other operating costs during the fourth quarter of 2022.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were $6.7 million as compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $0.8 million, primarily due to $1.4 million


increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense during the fourth quarter of 2022, partially offset by $0.6 million decrease in labor-related expenses.
Managed community reimbursement expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 were $5.6 million and $7.7 million, respectively, primarily as a result of managing fewer communities.
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $9.3 million as compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, representing an increase of $1.1 million. The increase was primarily due to the recent rise in interest rates associated with the Company’s variable rate mortgages during the fourth quarter of 2022. As of December 31, 2022, all of the Company’s variable rate debt (approximately 20.4% of total debt) had interest rate cap instruments in place.
The Company reported a net loss of $16.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to a net loss of $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Major factors impacting the comparison of net income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and September 31, 2022 include $1.6 million impairment charge and $1.1 million casualty loss related to winter storm Elliott.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $4.6 million compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA excluding COVID-19 expenses was $4.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Twelve months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to twelve months ended December 31, 2021
Revenues
Resident revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $208.7 million as compared to $190.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $18.5 million, or 9.7%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased occupancy, increased average rent rates, and the acquisition of two new communities during 2022.
Management fee revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $1.2 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of managing fewer communities in 2022.
Managed community reimbursement revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $27.4 million as compared to $40.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $13.5 million, or 33.0%. The decrease was primarily a result of transitioning the operations of eighteen Fannie Mae communities to other operators during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Expenses
Total expenses were $269.3 million during fiscal year 2022 compared to $274.9 million during fiscal year 2021, representing a decrease of $5.6 million. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in long-lived asset impairment of $4.9 million, a decrease of $2.0 million in general and administrative expenses, and a decrease of $13.5 million in managed community reimbursement expense in 2022 as compared to 2021. These decreases were partially offset by a $14.4 million increase in operating expenses.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $171.6 million as compared to $157.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $14.3 million, or 9.1%. The increase is primarily due to a $9.9 million increase in labor and employee-related expenses including premium labor and contract labor, $1.3 million increase in utilities, $1.2 million increase in food costs, $0.6 million increase in supplies, and $0.6 million increase in promotion and marketing expenses in fiscal 2022.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $30.3 million as compared to $32.3 million for year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 6.2%. The decrease is primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in bonuses and a $1.3 million decrease in employee insurance and workers' compensation, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expenses was $4.3 million and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The $0.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to the acquisition of the two Indiana communities during fiscal year 2022.


During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.6 million related to the management's commitment to a plan to sell the community shortly after the balance sheet date, and the agreed-upon selling price being below the community's carrying amount, compared to $6.5 million of non-cash impairment charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021, which was related to one owned community with decreased cash flow estimates as a result of recurring net operating losses.
Managed community reimbursement expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $27.4 million as compared to $40.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $13.5 million, or 33.0%. The decrease was primarily a result of transitioning the operations of eighteen Fannie Mae communities to other operators during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Interest income generally reflects interest earned on the investment of cash balances and escrow funds or interest associated with certain income tax refunds or property tax settlements. Interest income increased by $0.2 million compared to the prior year primarily due to more active cash management and heavier investment into money market accounts during 2022.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $33.0 million as compared to $37.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $4.2 million, due to lower overall borrowings in 2022, partially offset by increased interest rates associated with the Company’s variable rate debt.
Loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $0.6 million as compared to a gain on extinguishment of debt of $199.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $200.5 million. The 2022 loss was incurred in conjunction with the refinancing of debt during the first quarter of 2022. The 2021 gain is related to the derecognition of notes payable and liabilities as a result of transition of legal ownership of sixteen communities to Fannie Mae, the holder of the related non-recourse debt.
Other income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $10.0 million as compared to income of $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Both current year and prior year periods include cash received for CARES Act funding for healthcare-related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19 of $9.1 million and $8.7 million, respectively.
As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company reported net loss and comprehensive loss of $54.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to net income and comprehensive income of $125.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $17.0 million compared to $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA excluding COVID-19 expenses was $17.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Subsequent Events
Transactions Involving Certain Fannie Mae Loans
As of December 31, 2022, two properties remained for which the legal ownership had not been transferred back to Fannie Mae. The transfer of legal ownership of these properties had previously been deemed probable, and the Company had already transitioned operations of the assets. At December 31, 2022, the outstanding debt related to these properties that was included in the current portion of notes payable was $31.8 million, net of deferred loan costs of $0.2 million, and the related accrued interest was $4.1 million.
On January 11, 2023, Fannie Mae completed the legal transfer of ownership on the two properties. As a result of the change in legal ownership, the Company will derecognize all of the debt and accrued interest related to the two properties, which will result in the gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $36 million during the first quarter of 2023.
Protective Life Loans
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company elected not to make principal and interest payments due in February and March of 2023 related to certain non-recourse mortgage loan agreements covering four of the Company’s properties, with outstanding debt amount under such agreements totaling $70.0 million as of December 31, 2022. Therefore, the Company is in default on these loans, and was so notified by the lender on March 1, 2023. The Company is currently engaged in active negotiations with the lender for these loans as well as the additional Protective Life loans relating to six communities to resolve this matter and obtain more favorable terms. However, we cannot give any assurance that a mutually agreeable resolution will be reached.


COVID-19 Relief Grants
The Company received approximately $2.0 million in various state grants during January and February of 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows
The table below presents a summary of the Company’s net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities (in thousands):
Twelve months ended December 31,
20222021
Net cash used in operating activities$(2,578)$(28,795)
Net cash used in investing activities(36,904)(10,443)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities(22,652)99,415 
(Decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents$(62,134)$60,177 

In addition to $16.9 million of unrestricted cash balances on hand at December 31, 2022, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity are expected to be cash flows from operations, COVID-19 or related relief grants from various state agencies, and/or proceeds from the sale of select owned assets. During November 2021, the Company raised net proceeds of $141.4 million from the private placement of Series A Preferred Stock and common stock to the Conversant Investors and the sale of common stock pursuant to the Rights Offering. The A&R Investment Agreement allows for, subject to certain conditions, an additional $25 million equity investment by the Conversant Investors to fund future growth initiatives (as more fully described in the A&R Investment Agreement).
In March 2022, the Company completed the refinancing of certain existing mortgage debt with Ally Bank (the “Refinance Facility”) for ten of its communities. The Refinance Facility includes an initial term loan of $80 million. In addition, $10 million is available as delayed loans that can be borrowed upon achieving and maintaining certain financial covenant requirements, and up to an additional uncommitted $40 million may be available in the lender's discretion to fund future growth initiatives. On December 13, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Ally Bank to amend the Refinance Facility by adding two additional subsidiaries of the Company (which own the two Indiana properties acquired during the first quarter of 2022) as borrowers. The amendment increased the principal by $8.1 million to $88.1 million, with an additional $10 million still available as delayed loans that can be borrowed upon achieving and maintaining certain financial covenant requirements.
On November 30, 2022, in order to comply with the lender’s requirements under the Refinance Facility, the Company entered into a SOFR-based interest rate cap transaction for an aggregate notional amount of $88.1 million at a cost of $2.4 million. The interest rate cap agreement has a 12-month term and effectively caps the interest rate at 2.25% with respect to the portion of our floating rate indebtedness. As of December 31, 2022, the entire balance of our outstanding variable-rate debt obligations was covered by the interest rate transactions entered into during 2022 to better manage our exposure to market risks associated with the fluctuations in interest rates.
The Company, from time to time, considers and evaluates financial and capital raising transactions related to its portfolio, including debt refinancings, purchases and sales of assets and other transactions. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels, or that the Company will be able to obtain the capital necessary to meet the Company’s short and long-term capital requirements.
Recent changes in the current economic environment, and other future changes, could result in decreases in the fair value of assets, slowing of transactions, and the tightening of liquidity and credit markets. These impacts could make securing debt or refinancings for the Company or buyers of the Company’s properties more difficult or on terms not acceptable to the Company. The Company’s actual liquidity and capital funding requirements depend on numerous factors, including its operating results, its capital expenditures for community investment, and general economic conditions, as well as other factors described in the Company’s SEC filings.


Going Concern
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, due to the current inflationary environment, elevated interest rates, and continued impact of COVID-19 on our financial position, as well as our upcoming debt maturities, our management concluded as of December 31, 2022 there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has implemented plans, which include strategic and cash-preservation initiatives, designed to provide the Company with adequate liquidity to meet its obligations for at least the 12-month period following the date its fiscal year 2022 financial statements are issued. While the Company’s plans are designed to provide it with adequate liquidity to meet its obligations for at least the 12-month period following the date its financial statements are issued, the remediation plan is dependent on conditions and matters that may be outside of the Company’s control, and no assurance can be given that certain options will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company is unable to successfully execute all of the planned initiatives or if the plan does not fully mitigate the Company’s liquidity challenges, the Company’s operating plans and resulting cash flows along with its cash and cash equivalents and other sources of liquidity may not be sufficient to fund operations for the 12-month period following the date the financial statements are issued.
Debt Covenants
Certain of our debt agreements contain restrictions and financial covenants, such as those requiring us to maintain prescribed minimum debt service coverage ratios, in each case on a multi-community basis. The debt service coverage ratios are generally calculated as revenues less operating expenses, including an implied management fee, divided by the debt (principal and interest). Furthermore, our debt is secured by our communities and if a Company is not able to comply with some of the financial covenants and other restrictions contained in our debt instruments, this could trigger an event of default under our loan agreements. An event of default, subject to cure provisions in certain instances, would give the respective lenders the right to accelerate the related debt and to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable, or foreclose on collateral securing the outstanding indebtedness. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to pay the debts if they become due upon acceleration following an event of default.
Except for the non-compliance with Fannie Mae mortgages for the two properties in the process of transition back to Fannie Mae, and certain mortgage loan agreements with Protective Life (as described in the “Subsequent Events” section above), the Company was in compliance with all aspects of its outstanding indebtedness at December 31, 2022.
Impact of Inflation
The continuation of the current inflationary environment could affect the Company’s future revenues and results of operations because of, among other things, the Company’s dependence on senior residents, many of whom rely primarily on fixed incomes to pay for the Company’s services. As a result, during inflationary periods, the Company may not be able to increase resident service fees to account fully for increased operating expenses. In structuring its fees, the Company attempts to anticipate inflation levels, but there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to anticipate fully or otherwise respond to any future inflationary pressures.
The United States consumer price index increased 6.5% during 2022, with food and energy prices increasing above 10%. We mitigated a portion of the increase in food costs with the scale benefit of a higher number of residents, along with appropriate product substitution. Despite our mitigation efforts and with higher occupancy, for 2022 our non-labor operating expense in our same-store community portfolio increased approximately $4.0 million, or 6.8%, compared to the prior year, while the labor component of our operating expense increased approximately $9.5 million, or 10.2% during 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to merit and market wage rate adjustments, more hours worked with higher occupancy during 2022, and an increase in the use of more expensive premium labor, primarily contract labor and overtime. For 2023, we expect to continue to experience inflationary pressures.
Definitions of RevPAR and RevPOR

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This earnings release contains the financial measures (1) Same-Store Community Net Operating Income, (2) Same-Store Community Net Operating Income Margin, (3) Adjusted EBITDA, (4) Adjusted EBITDA excluding COVID-19 impact, (5) Revenue per Occupied Unit (RevPOR) and (6) Revenue per Available Unit (RevPAR), all of which are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to aid investors in better understanding the factors and trends affecting the Company’s performance and liquidity. However, investors should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, including net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Investors are cautioned that amounts presented in accordance with the Company’s definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Investors are urged to review the following reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures from the most comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

SAME-STORE NET OPERATING INCOME AND
SAME-STORE NET OPERATING INCOME MARGIN (UNAUDITED)


Same-Store Community Net Operating Income and Same-Store Community Net Operating Income Margin are non-GAAP performance measures for the Company’s portfolio of 60 owned continuing communities that the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding: general and administrative expenses (inclusive of stock-based compensation expense), interest income, interest expense, other income/expense, provision for income taxes, settlement fees and expenses, revenue and operating expenses from the Company’s disposed properties; and further adjusted to exclude income/expense associated with non-cash, non-operational, transactional, or organizational restructuring items that management does not consider as part of the Company’s underlying core operating performance and that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods. For the periods presented herein, such other items include depreciation and amortization expense, gain(loss) on extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on disposition of assets, long-lived asset impairment, and loss on non-recurring settlements with third parties. The Same-Store Community Net Operating Income Margin is calculated by dividing Same-Store Community Net Operating Income by same-store community resident revenue.

The Company believes that presentation of Same-Store Community Net Operating Income and Same-Store Community Net Operating Income Margin as performance measures are useful to investors because (i) they are one of the metrics used by the Company’s management to evaluate the performance of our core portfolio of 60 owned continuing communities, to review the Company’s comparable historic and prospective core operating performance of the 60 owned continuing communities, and to make day-to-day operating decisions; (ii) they provide an assessment of operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely revenues and the controllable cost structure of the organization, by eliminating items related to the Company’s financing and capital structure and other items that management does not consider as part of the Company’s underlying core operating performance, and that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods.

Same-Store Community Net Operating Income and Same-Store Net Community Operating Income Margin have material limitations as a performance measure, including: (i) excluded general and administrative expenses are necessary to operate the Company and oversee its communities; (ii) excluded interest is necessary to operate the Company’s business under its current financing and capital structure; (iii) excluded depreciation, amortization and impairment charges may represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of the Company’s communities, and other assets and may be indicative of future needs for capital expenditures; and (iv) the Company may incur income/expense similar to those for which adjustments are made, such as gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, gain (loss) on disposition of assets, loss on settlements, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and transaction and other costs, and such income/expense may significantly affect the Company’s operating results.

ADJUSTED EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA EXCLUDING COVID-19 IMPACT (UNAUDITED)

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding COVID-19 impact are non-GAAP performance measures that the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding: depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, interest expense, other expense/income, provision for income taxes; and further adjusted to exclude income/expense associated with non-cash, non-operational, transactional, or organizational restructuring items that management does not consider as part of the Company’s underlying core operating performance and that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods.

The Company believes that presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding COVID-19 impact as performance measures are useful to investors because they are one of the metrics that the Company uses because it provides an assessment of operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely revenues and the controllable cost structure of the organization, by eliminating items related to the Company’s financing and capital structure and other items that management does not consider as part of the Company’s underlying core operating performance and that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding COVID-19 impact have material limitations as a performance measure, including: (i) excluded interest is necessary to operate the Company’s business under its current financing and capital structure; (ii) excluded depreciation, amortization and impairment charges may represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of the Company’s communities and other assets and may be indicative of future needs for capital expenditures; and (iii) the Company may incur income/expense similar to those for which adjustments are made, such as bad debts, gain(loss) on sale of assets, or gain(loss) on debt extinguishment, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and transaction and other costs, and such income/expense may significantly affect the Company’s operating results.
