CareTrust REIT Announces Fourth Quarter & Full Year 2021 Operating Results

Conference Call Scheduled for Thursday, February 17, 2022 at 1:00 pm ET

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., February 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareTrust REIT, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTRE) today reported operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, as well as other recent events.

For the quarter, CareTrust REIT reported:

•100% of contractual rents collected;

•Net income of $18.3 million, a 13.3% decrease over the prior year, and net income per share of $0.19;

•Normalized FFO of $37.3 million, a 9.0% increase over the prior year, and normalized FFO per share of $0.39;

•Normalized FAD of $39.8 million, an 11.5% increase over the prior year, and normalized FAD per share of $0.41; and

•A quarterly dividend of $0.265 per share, representing a payout ratio of approximately 65% on normalized FAD.

100% Rent Collection & Continued Recovery

“We are pleased to report 100% of contractual rents collected in the quarter, making the full year’s collections also 100%,” said Dave Sedgwick, CareTrust’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The fact that we collected 100% of contractual rent over the past two years is a testament to the quality of our investments and our operators, and our team’s ability to manage needed changes in the portfolio efficiently,” he added. He noted that 2022 will be a year of continued recovery for the majority of CareTrust’s operators.

Alluding to the industry-wide delay in occupancy recovery caused by the Omicron variant and ongoing staffing shortages, Mr. Sedgwick said, “Despite these challenges, most of CareTrust’s operators have shifted to offense in terms of being part of the solution to treat COVID patients and also in terms of looking to grow again.” However, while noting that provider relief funding had been helpful in mitigating challenges during the pandemic for most of CareTrust’s tenants, the latest HHS “Phase 4” provider relief disbursement “has provided insufficient runway for a few operators to successfully make the soft landing we have been hoping for, resulting in 93% of contractual cash rent collected in January,” he added.

Reinforcing the Foundation

Discussing the Company’s outlook for 2022, Mr. Sedgwick said, “We see an opportunity now to reinforce the foundation of this platform for the long term. As we look forward, not just to next quarter but to the coming years and what we expect to be significant growth opportunities ahead, COVID has exposed a few cracks in the foundation for which relief funds no longer suffice, and that we want to remediate while they are still relatively small.”

Explaining that the current sellers' market appears to offer an unprecedented opportunity to de-risk the portfolio, he disclosed that CareTrust plans to pursue the sale, re-tenanting, or repurposing of up to 32 assets representing approximately 10% of contractual cash rent. “Throughout the pandemic, we have conducted ‘stress-test’ analyses of the portfolio and identified a handful of operators and properties that we believe pose an unacceptable risk of default as provider relief measures come to an end. For these relationships and properties, we’ve decided to take advantage of the frothy sellers’ market and remove these cracks and the associated uncertainty from our foundation,” he added.

“As part of this plan, we are looking at moving into an exciting new asset class for CareTrust as well – behavioral health,” Mr. Sedgwick said. “We are cautiously optimistic about the opportunity to redevelop and repurpose assets into addiction recovery properties, which we believe would be a higher and better use for some of our real estate,” he added. Mr. Sedgwick noted that for certain assets, uses such as behavioral health typically command higher rents and operate at better lease coverages than seniors housing. “Repurposing some of our properties would give us the entry point into behavioral health we’ve been looking for, and give our team a powerful new asset management tool as we constantly evaluate ways to strengthen the overall portfolio,” he said.

In summarizing the plan, Mr. Sedgwick concluded, “We do not intend to play the ‘defer and hope’ game with operators and properties that have been on our ‘watchlist’ since before the pandemic. Rather, we intend to take advantage of the sellers’ market, redeploy any proceeds in new investments underwritten for today’s realities, and use this time to upgrade the risk profile of our growing portfolio.”

Continued Focus on Growth

During the quarter, CareTrust acquired two vacant seniors housing and memory care properties for $12.4 million, inclusive of transaction costs, in New Jersey. It is anticipated that the two properties, once licensed, will be leased to a new operator at a stabilized yield consistent with historical yields. The acquisition was funded using cash on hand.

Subsequent to quarter end, CareTrust acquired a 155-bed skilled nursing facility in Ennis, Texas for a purchase price of $8.9 million, inclusive of transaction costs. The facility was added to the existing master lease with affiliates of Eduro Healthcare, who took over operations on February 1, 2022. Annual cash rent under the Eduro master lease increased by approximately $815,000 with CPI-based annual rent escalators. The initial term of Eduro's master lease with CareTrust was also extended by four years in connection with the transaction. The acquisition was funded using cash on hand.

Commenting on the challenges and opportunities associated with growing during a sellers' market, Mark Lamb, CareTrust’s Chief Investment Officer, said, “The market is as competitive as we have seen it, but we are optimistic about our ability to leverage our robust lease coverage with current operators and our history as value-add providers to buy facilities at the right basis and provide a ramp to stabilization, if needed.” He also noted that CareTrust has agreed to partner with a top lender to invest in a variety of loan products that the Company expects will provide capital deployment opportunities this year and into the foreseeable future. “Once the agreement is formalized, we would expect to fund $50 to $100 million into that vehicle in 2022 at a return in the low- to mid-8% range, and we believe these investments would also lead to an attractive pipeline of operators and off-market opportunities for the years to come,” he concluded.

Guidance Discussion

Chief Financial Officer Bill Wagner noted that CareTrust stood out among healthcare REITs during the pandemic by continuing to issue annual guidance in spite of the many operating headwinds and uncertainty around continued government financial support. “Given the early stage of today’s announced 2022 asset management plan, issuing guidance will be postponed until meaningful progress has been made on the wide range of possibilities for both proceeds and redeployment of that capital,” he said.

Financial Results for Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2021

Mr. Wagner reported that, for the fourth quarter, CareTrust generated net income of $18.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted weighted-average common share, normalized FFO of $37.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted weighted-average common share, and normalized FAD of $39.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted weighted-average common share. For the year ended December 31, 2021, CareTrust generated net income of $72.0 million, or $0.74 per diluted weighted-average common share, normalized FFO of $143.9 million, or $1.49 per diluted weighted-average common share, and normalized FAD of $153.0 million, or $1.59 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 23.0%. Mr. Wagner stated that as of today, the Company had approximately $90 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 $13 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.

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 68% based on fourth quarter 2021 normalized FFO, and 65% 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, non-routine transaction costs, 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.

Notes: [1] EBITDAR Coverage and EBITDARM Coverage are based on financial information provided by our tenants. We have not independently verified this information, but have no reason to believe that such information is inaccurate in any material respect. Coverage metrics are based on contractual cash rents in place during the period presented unless a lease has been entered into or amended since the end of the period, in which case the current contractual rent is used. [2] Ensign and Pennant have announced that they have returned all or a portion of the provider relief funds issued to them by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") pursuant to the CARES Act in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic ("HHS Relief Funds"). Noble, a seniors housing operator, received no HHS Relief Funds to date. [3] Coverage metrics in this section exclude all HHS Relief Funds received and retained to date, if any. [4] Coverage metrics in this section include all known HHS Relief Funds received and retained as reported to us through February 4, 2022, if any, and amortizes the retained HHS Relief Funds ratably over the period of availability based on when the HHS Relief Funds were received in accordance with HHS' current guidelines for using the HHS Relief Funds for allowable purposes. The calculations further assume that (i) none of the HHS Relief Funds retained to date will be returned to HHS, and (ii) no additional HHS Relief Funds will be distributed to providers in the future. [5] Excludes one property that is classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021, one property undergoing significant renovations that resulted in a material reduction in occupancy and is pre-stabilized and two facilities under a short-term lease acquired in December 2021. [6] No coverage metrics were received for the period prior to lease commencement for facilities acquired in March and April 2021.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) Net income, excluding gains and losses from dispositions of real estate or other real estate, before real estate depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges. CareTrust REIT calculates and reports FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.[2] HHS Relief Funds Provider relief funds distributed by the Department of Health and Human Services as part of the CARES act to support healthcare providers’ battle against the COVID-19 outbreak. Healthcare providers received four payments over three phases of general distributions. Does not include funds as part of Medicaid’s Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (“FMAP”), Medicare’s Sequestration “Holiday” or Paycheck Protection Program loans (“PPP”). Independent Living Facilities (“ILFs”) Also known as retirement communities or senior apartments, ILFs are not healthcare facilities. ILFs typically consist of entirely self-contained apartments, complete with their own kitchens, baths and individual living spaces, as well as parking for tenant vehicles. They are most often rented unfurnished, and generally can be personalized by the tenants, typically an individual or a couple over the age of 55. These facilities offer various services and amenities such as laundry, housekeeping, dining options/meal plans, exercise and wellness programs, transportation, social, cultural and recreational activities, and on-site security. Assisted Living Facilities (“ALFs”) Licensed healthcare facilities that provide personal care services, support and housing for those who need help with daily living activities, such as bathing, eating and dressing, yet require limited medical care. The programs and services may include transportation, social activities, exercise and fitness programs, beauty or barber shop access, hobby and craft activities, community excursions, meals in a dining room setting and other activities sought by residents. These facilities are often in apartment-like buildings with private residences ranging from single rooms to large apartments. Certain ALFs may offer higher levels of personal assistance for residents requiring memory care as a result of Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Levels of personal assistance are based in part on local regulations.  EBITDA Net income before interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization and amortization of stock-based compensation.[1] EBITDAR Net income before interest expense, income tax, depreciation, amortization and cash rent, after applying a standardized management fee (5% of facility operating revenues). EBITDAR Coverage Aggregate EBITDAR produced by all facilities under a master lease (or other grouping) for the trailing twelve-month period ended September 30, 2021 divided by the base rent payable to CareTrust REIT under such master lease (or other grouping) for the same period; provided that if the master lease has been amended to change the base rent during or since such period, then the aggregate EBITDAR for such period is divided by the annualized monthly base rent currently in effect. EBITDAR reflects the application of a standard 5% management fee. In addition, we may exclude from coverage disclosures those facilities which are (i) classified as Held for Sale, (ii) temporarily on Special Focus Facility (SFF) status, (iii) undergoing significant renovations that necessarily result in a material reduction in occupancy, or (iv) have been acquired for or recently transferred to new operators for turnaround and are pre-stabilized. EBITDARM Earnings before interest expense, income tax, depreciation, amortization, cash rent, and a standardized management fee (5% of facility operating revenues). EBITDARM Coverage Aggregate EBITDARM produced by all facilities under a master lease (or other grouping) for the trailing twelve- month period ended September 30, 2021 divided by the base rent payable to CareTrust REIT under such master lease (or other grouping) for the same period; provided that if the master lease has been amended to change the base rent during or since such period, then the aggregate EBITDARM for such period is divided by the annualized monthly base rent currently in effect. In addition, we may exclude from coverage disclosures those facilities which are (i) classified as Held for Sale, (ii) temporarily on Special Focus Facility (SFF) status, (iii) undergoing significant renovations that necessarily result in a material reduction in occupancy, or (iv) have been acquired for or recently transferred to new operators for turnaround and are pre- stabilized. Enterprise Value Share price multiplied by the number of outstanding shares plus total outstanding debt minus cash, each as of a specified date. Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) FFO, excluding straight-line rental income adjustments, amortization of deferred financing fees and stock-based compensation expense.[2] Glossary 22


Multi-Service Campus Facilities that include a combination of Skilled Nursing beds and Seniors Housing units, including Continuing Care Retirement Communities. Normalized EBITDA EBITDA, adjusted for certain income and expense items the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing results, such as real estate impairment charges, provision for loans, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, property operating expenses, non- routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt and gains or losses from dispositions of real estate or other real estate.[1] Normalized FAD FAD, adjusted for certain income and expense items the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing results, such as provision for loans, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, effect of the senior unsecured notes payable redemption, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, non- routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt and property operating expenses.[2] Normalized FFO FFO, adjusted for certain income and expense items the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing results, such as provision for loans, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, effect of the senior unsecured notes payable redemption, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, accelerated amortization of stock-based compensation, non-routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt and property operating expenses.[2] Seniors Housing Includes ALFs, ILFs, dedicated memory care facilities and similar facilities. Skilled Nursing or Skilled Nursing Facilities (“SNFs”) Licensed healthcare facilities that provide restorative, rehabilitative and nursing care for people not requiring the more extensive and sophisticated treatment available at an acute care hospital or long-term acute care hospital. Treatment programs include physical, occupational, speech, respiratory, ventilator, and wound therapy. Notes: [1] 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. [2] CareTrust REIT believes FAD, FFO, Normalized FAD, and Normalized FFO (and their related per-share amounts) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of its operating performance. 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, even though real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions. Moreover, by excluding items not indicative of ongoing results, Normalized FAD and Normalized FFO can facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other companies. However, FAD, FFO, Normalized FAD, and Normalized FFO (and their related per-share amounts) do not represent cash flows from operations or net income attributable to shareholders as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance.
