Capital Senior Living Corporation Reports First Quarter 2015 Results

DALLAS--()--Capital Senior Living Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE:CSU), one of the nation’s largest operators of senior living communities, today announced operating and financial results for the first quarter of 2015. Company highlights for the first quarter include:

Operating and Financial Summary (all amounts in the summary exclude four communities that are undergoing repositioning, lease-up or significant renovation and conversion, unless otherwise noted; also, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below)

  • Revenue in the first quarter of 2015, including all communities, was $98.6 million, a $6.8 million, or 7.4%, increase from the first quarter of 2014.
  • Occupancy for the Company’s consolidated communities was 87.3% in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 20 basis points from the first quarter of 2014. Same-community occupancy was 87.1% for the first quarter of 2015, a 30 basis point decrease from the first quarter of 2014.
  • Average monthly rent for the Company’s consolidated communities in the first quarter of 2015 was $3,294, an increase of $167 per occupied unit, or 5.3%, as compared to the first quarter of 2014. Same-community average monthly rent was $3,271, an increase of $58 per occupied unit, or 1.8%, from the first quarter of 2014, and a 40 basis point improvement from the fourth quarter of 2014.
  • Adjusted EBITDAR was $34.1 million in the first quarter of 2015, a 10.2% increase from the first quarter of 2014. The four communities undergoing repositioning, lease-up or significant renovation and conversion generated an additional $0.5 million of EBITDAR. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDAR margin was 36.2% for the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 150 basis points versus the first quarter of the prior year, and a record-high first quarter margin for the Company.
  • Adjusted Cash From Facility Operations (“CFFO”) was $10.5 million, or $0.37 per share, in the first quarter of 2015, a 27.6% increase versus the prior year. Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, the Company no longer includes the change in prepaid resident rent as a component of Adjusted CFFO as it is a non-economic timing item. On a comparable basis, Adjusted CFFO was $8.2 million, or $0.29 per share in the first quarter of 2014.
  • The Company’s Net Loss for the first quarter of 2015, including all communities, was $6.0 million, or $0.21 per share, due mostly to non-cash amortization of resident leases of $3.7 million associated with communities acquired by the Company in the previous 12 months. Adjusted Net Income was $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share, for the first quarter of 2015.
  • The Company announced today that on March 27, 2015, the Company acquired a community in Texas for a purchase price of approximately $29.6 million. This community is expected to generate incremental annual CFFO of approximately $0.04 per share.
  • As disclosed in its press release dated January 29, 2015, the Company acquired a senior living community in mid-January in Wisconsin for a purchase price of approximately $18.3 million. This community is expected to generate incremental annual CFFO of approximately $0.02 per share.
  • Also as disclosed on January 29, 2015, the Company sold four non-core communities in January for $36.5 million. The Company received approximately $18.0 million in net proceeds after relieving the debt associated with the communities and paying customary transaction and closing costs.

“We are pleased to report significant growth in revenue, Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted CFFO in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the prior year. March was the strongest month in the quarter, providing momentum for the second quarter and the remainder of 2015," said Lawrence A. Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Despite a harsh winter and strong flu season which resulted in high attrition levels and affected our same-community occupancy and revenue, we were able to achieve a 60 basis point positive spread between same-community revenue and expense growth, and achieved a record-high first quarter margin of 36.2%. Move-ins were up 15% in the first quarter over the prior year due to the marketing initiatives we have implemented over the last year, which allowed us to offset most of the attrition by the end of the first quarter. We achieved a net increase of 89 residents in the month of March. Also, our conversions of independent living units to assisted living and memory care units remain on schedule.

“Complementing this growth is a robust pipeline that allows us to continue our disciplined and strategic acquisition program that increases our ownership of high-quality senior living communities in geographically concentrated regions and generates meaningful increases in CFFO, earnings and real estate value. We closed on two such communities in the first quarter, and we continue to pursue additional opportunities.

“We are successfully executing on our strategic plan, and believe that we are well positioned to make meaningful gains in shareholder value as a substantially all private-pay business in an industry that benefits from need-driven demand, limited new supply, and an improving economy and housing market.”

Recent Investment Activity

  • In the first quarter of 2015, the Company completed acquisitions of two senior living communities for a combined purchase price of $47.9 million, one of which was previously disclosed. These communities expand the Company’s operations in Texas and Wisconsin, and are comprised of 207 units offering independent living, assisted living and memory care services.

Combined highlights of the transactions include:

- Increases annual Adjusted CFFO by approximately $1.9 million, or $0.06 per share.

- Adds approximately $0.8 million to earnings, or $0.03 per share.

- Increases annual revenue by approximately $8.9 million.

- Average monthly rents for the communities are approximately $3,800.

The communities were financed with an aggregate of approximately $35.5 million of non-recourse 10-year mortgage debt at an average fixed interest rate of 3.87%.

  • Subject to completion of customary closing conditions, acquisitions totaling approximately $27 million are expected to close by the end of May 2015. The Company is conducting due diligence on additional acquisitions of high-quality senior living communities in states with extensive existing operations.

Financial Results - First Quarter

For the first quarter of 2015, the Company reported revenue of $98.6 million, compared to revenue of $91.9 million in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 7.4%. Resident and healthcare revenue increased from the first quarter of the prior year by approximately $8.5 million, or 9.4%, mostly due to the acquisition of 10 communities during or after the first quarter of 2014. As expected, community reimbursement revenue and affiliated management revenue decreased approximately $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014. The acquisition of three Ohio communities in which the Company previously held a 10% interest as a joint venture on June 30, 2014, resulted in the elimination of these two revenue items as well as community reimbursement expense.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were $60.1 million, an increase of $4.4 million from the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to the acquisition of 10 communities during or after the first quarter of 2014.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were $5.0 million, which includes $0.5 million of transaction and other one-time costs. Excluding transaction and other one-time costs, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014. As a percentage of revenues under management, general and administrative expenses, excluding transaction and other one-time costs, were 4.6% in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to 4.9% in the first quarter of 2014.

The Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures exclude four communities that are undergoing repositioning, lease-up of higher-licensed units or significant renovation and conversion. Also, as previously noted, beginning in the first quarter of 2015, the Company no longer includes the change in prepaid resident rent as a component of Adjusted CFFO as it is a non-economic timing item.

Adjusted EBITDAR for the first quarter of 2015 was approximately $34.1 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 10.2%, from the first quarter of 2014. This does not include EBITDAR of $0.5 million related to four communities undergoing repositioning, lease-up or significant renovation and conversion. The Adjusted EBITDAR margin for the fourth quarter of 2014 was 36.2%, a record-high first quarter margin for the Company and an increase of 150 basis points from the first quarter 2014 of 34.7%.

The Company recorded a net loss of $6.0 million in the first quarter. Excluding non-recurring or non-economic items reconciled on the final page of this release, the Company’s adjusted net income was $0.7 million and $0.03 per share in the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted CFFO was $10.5 million, or $0.37 per share, in the first quarter of 2015, a 27.6% increase from the prior year. On a comparable basis, Adjusted CFFO was $8.2 million, or $0.29 per share, in the first quarter of 2014.

Operating Activities

Same-community results exclude the four communities previously noted that are undergoing repositioning, lease-up or significant renovation and conversion, and transaction and other one-time costs.

Same-community revenue in the first quarter of 2015 increased 1.4% versus the first quarter of 2014. Same-community expenses increased 0.8% from the first quarter of the prior year. Labor costs, including benefits, increased approximately 1.4%, food costs increased 0.5% and utilities were down 3.2% as compared to the first quarter of the prior year. Same-community net operating income increased 2.0% in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014.

Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2014 were $5.5 million, representing approximately $4.4 million of investment spending and approximately $1.1 million of recurring capital expenditures. If annualized, spending for recurring capital expenditures was approximately $380 per unit.

Balance Sheet

The Company ended the quarter with $63.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, an increase of $11.9 million since December 31, 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company generated cash flow from operations of $12.8 million and received net proceeds from asset sales and debt refinances of $20.2 million. The Company invested $12.4 million of cash as equity to complete the acquisitions of two communities and spent $5.5 million on capital improvements.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company financed its owned communities with mortgages totaling $661.9 million at interest rates averaging 4.6%. All of the Company’s debt is at fixed interest rates, except for two bridge loans totaling approximately $20.3 million at March 31, 2015, at variable rates averaging 4.3%. The Company has no mortgage maturities before the second quarter of 2017.

The Company’s cash on hand and cash flow from operations are expected to be sufficient for working capital, prudent reserves and the equity needed to fund the Company’s acquisition program.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDAR Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted CFFO are financial measures of operating performance that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures may have material limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful in identifying trends in day-to-day performance because they exclude items that are of little or no significance to operations and provide indicators to management of progress in achieving optimal operating performance. In addition, these measures are used by many research analysts and investors to evaluate the performance and the value of companies in the senior living industry. The Company strongly urges you to review the reconciliation of net income from operations to Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR Margin and the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted CFFO, along with the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows.

Safe Harbor

The forward-looking statements in this release are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially, including, but not without limitation to, the Company’s ability to find suitable acquisition properties at favorable terms, financing, refinancing, community sales, licensing, business conditions, risks of downturns in economic conditions generally, satisfaction of closing conditions such as those pertaining to licensure, availability of insurance at commercially reasonable rates, and changes in accounting principles and interpretations among others, and other risks and factors identified from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
