WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LTC Properties, Inc. (NYSE: LTC) ("LTC" or the "Company"), a real estate investment trust that primarily invests in seniors housing and health care properties, today announced operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Net income available to common stockholders was $18.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the 2021 second quarter, compared with $1.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the same period in 2020. Funds from Operations (“FFO”) was $22.2 million for the 2021 second quarter, compared with $12.0 million for the comparable 2020 period. FFO per diluted common share was $0.57 and $0.31 for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Excluding non-recurring items, FFO was $22.2 million and $29.7 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Funds available for distribution (“FAD”) was $22.8 million for the 2021 second quarter compared with $29.3 million for the 2020 second quarter.
Second quarter 2021 results were impacted by the following:
-
Higher rental income due to a $17.7 million write-off in the 2020 second quarter related to Senior Lifestyle Corporation’s (“Senior Lifestyle”) straight-line and lease incentive balances partially offset by the following:
- Decreased rental income as a result of Senior Lifestyle’s non-payment of lease obligations during the 2021 second quarter, partially offset by the re-leasing of 11 properties in the portfolio;
- Decreased rental income as a result of Senior Care Centers, LLC’s and Abri Health Services, LLC unpaid lease obligations; and
- Decreased rental income from abated and deferred rent partially offset by higher rental income from completed developments.
- Higher income from unconsolidated joint ventures; and
- Net gain on sale of $5.5 million compared with a net gain on sale of $189,000 during the second quarter of 2020;
During the second quarter of 2021, LTC completed the following:
- Sold three Wisconsin communities and a closed community in Nebraska for a total sale price of $35.9 million. These communities were previously leased to Senior Lifestyle. LTC received total combined proceeds of $34.8 million and recorded a net gain on sale of $5.4 million;
- Transitioned a memory care community in Colorado previously operated by Senior Lifestyle to an operator new to LTC. The lease has a 5-year term and provides a purchase option for $5.5 million which is exercisable after the first year of the lease. Cash rent starting in the second lease year will be $150,000, increasing to $300,000 in the third lease year and escalating by 2% annually thereafter; and
- Paid down $41.0 million under its unsecured revolving line of credit.
Subsequent to June 30, 2021, LTC completed the following:
- Transitioned an assisted living community in Wisconsin previously operated by Senior Lifestyle to a regionally based operator new to LTC. The lease has a 10-year term with three 5-year renewal terms. Cash rent under the new lease is $920,000 in the first lease year, $1.2 million in the second lease year, $1.3 million in the third lease year, escalating 2% annually thereafter;
- Entered into a lease agreement with an existing operator covering three assisted living communities in the Senior Lifestyle portfolio. Two properties are located in Pennsylvania, and one in New Jersey. The lease has a 2-year term with zero cash rent for the first three months then cash rent will be based on mutually agreed fair market rent;
- Entered into a lease agreement with an existing operator covering three assisted living communities in Nebraska in the Senior Lifestyle portfolio. The lease has a 2-year term with zero cash rent for the first three months then cash rent will be based on mutually agreed fair market rent;

- Paid $25.2 million in regular scheduled principal payments under its senior unsecured notes;
- Borrowed $19.0 million under its unsecured revolving line of credit at 1.2%; and
- Provided $366,000 of deferred rent and $323,000 of rent abatement in July 2021. LTC has agreed to provide rent deferrals up to $493,000 and abatements up to $319,000 for each of August and September 2021.

Supplemental Reporting Measures
FFO and FAD are supplemental measures of a real estate investment trust’s (“REIT”) financial performance that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Investors, analysts and the Company use FFO and FAD as supplemental measures of operating performance. The Company believes FFO and FAD are helpful in evaluating the operating performance of a REIT. Real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, but cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. The Company believes that by excluding the effect of historical cost depreciation, which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO and FAD facilitate like comparisons of operating performance between periods. Occasionally, the Company may exclude non-recurring items from FFO and FAD in order to allow investors, analysts and management to compare the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated items.
FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), means net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on the sale of real estate and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from that of the Company. Therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing the Company’s FFO to that of other REITs.
The Company defines FAD as FFO excluding the effects of straight-line rent, amortization of lease inducement, effective interest income, deferred income from unconsolidated joint ventures, non-cash compensation charges, capitalized interest and non-cash interest charges. GAAP requires rental revenues related to non-contingent leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease to be recognized evenly over the life of the lease. This method results in rental income in the early years of a lease that is higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. At some point during the lease, depending on its terms, cash rent payments exceed the straight-line rent which results in the straight-line rent receivable asset decreasing to zero over the remainder of the lease term. Effective interest method, as required by GAAP, is a technique for calculating the actual interest rate for the term of a mortgage loan based on the initial origination value. Similar to the accounting methodology of straight-line rent, the actual interest rate is higher than the stated interest rate in the early years of the mortgage loan thus creating an effective interest receivable asset included in the interest receivable line item in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and reduces down to zero when, at some point during the mortgage loan, the stated interest rate is higher than the actual interest rate. FAD is useful in analyzing the portion of cash flow that is available for distribution to stockholders. Investors, analysts and the Company utilize FAD as an indicator of common dividend potential. The FAD payout ratio, which represents annual distributions to common shareholders expressed as a percentage of FAD, facilitates the comparison of dividend coverage between REITs.
While the Company uses FFO and FAD as supplemental performance measures of cash flow generated by operations and cash available for distribution to stockholders, such measures are not representative of cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income available to common stockholders.
