Recent Investment and Sales Activities:

 

Since July 1, 2013, SNH has acquired five properties for a combined purchase price of $100.5 million, excluding closing costs:

 

·                  In August 2013, SNH acquired a senior living community with 93 private pay assisted living units located in Cumming, GA, for approximately $22.0 million, excluding closing costs.  This community is operated in SNH’s taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, structure and managed by Five Star Quality Care, Inc., or Five Star, under a long term management agreement.

 

·                  Also in August 2013, SNH acquired an MOB with approximately 105,000 square feet located in Boston, MA for approximately $49.5 million, excluding closing costs.  This MOB is a biotech laboratory building which is long term leased to PerkinElmer Health Sciences Inc.

 

·                  In October 2013, SNH acquired a senior living community with 60 private pay assisted living units located in Jefferson City, TN for approximately $9.9 million, excluding closing costs.  This community is operated in SNH’s TRS structure and managed by Five Star under a long term management agreement.

 

·                  In October 2013, SNH acquired two senior living communities with 153 private pay assisted living units located in Canton and Ellijay, GA for a total of approximately $19.1 million, excluding closing costs.  These communities are operated in SNH’s TRS structure and managed by Five Star under a long term management agreement.

 

SNH also currently has four properties under agreement to be acquired for a combined purchase price of $27.4 million, excluding closing costs.

 

·                  In August 2013, SNH entered into an agreement to acquire one senior living community with 68 private pay assisted living units located in Verona, WI for approximately $12.0 million, excluding closing costs.  SNH intends to acquire this community using its TRS structure and a long term management agreement with Five Star.

 

·                  In October 2013, SNH entered into an agreement to acquire a portfolio of three MOBs with 62,826 square feet located in Orlando, FL for approximately $15.4 million, excluding closing costs.

 

In August 2013, SNH sold a skilled nursing facility with 112 living units for $2.6 million, excluding closing costs. The majority of the revenues generated at this property were received from government funded programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid.  SNH recorded a gain of $1.1 million from this sale.

 

Also in August 2013, SNH entered an agreement to sell two rehabilitation hospitals with 364 licensed beds for $90.0 million, excluding closing costs and subject to certain adjustments. The majority of

the revenues at these hospitals come from Medicare.  SNH expects to record a gain on sale of over $30 million upon the closing of this transaction, which is currently expected to occur by mid-2014.

 

SNH is also currently marketing for sale 10 senior living communities with 744 living units and seven MOBs with 831,499 square feet. The majority of the combined revenues generated from the 10 senior living communities listed for sale come from government funded programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. The results of operations from the seven MOBs listed for sale are now included in discontinued operations in SNH’s financial statements.

 

Recent Financing Activities:

 

In September 2013, SNH amended its $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility.  As a result of the amendment, the interest rate paid on borrowings under the facility was reduced from LIBOR plus a premium of 160 basis points to LIBOR plus a premium of 130 basis points, and the facility fee was reduced from 35 basis points to 30 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments (both the interest rate premium and the facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to SNH’s credit ratings).  Also, the stated maturity date of the facility was extended from June 24, 2015 to January 15, 2018; and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, SNH also obtained an option to further extend the maturity date by an additional one year.  The revolving credit facility agreement continues to include a feature under which maximum borrowings under the facility may be increased to up to $1.5 billion in certain circumstances.

 

In September 2013, SNH repaid a mortgage note that encumbered two of its properties which had an aggregate principal balance of approximately $13.6 million, a weighted average interest rate of 6.9% and a maturity date later in 2013.

(1)               SNH calculates FFO and Normalized FFO as shown above.  FFO is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which is net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties and impairment of real estate assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to them.  SNH’s calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO because SNH’s includes estimated percentage rent in the period to which it estimates that it relates rather than when it is recognized as income in accordance with GAAP and exclude acquisition related costs, gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on lease terminations and loss on impairment of intangible assets, if any.  SNH considers FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate measures of operating performance for a real estate investment trust, or REIT, along with net income, operating income and cash flow from operating activities.  SNH believes that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of its operating performance between periods and between them and other REITs.  FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by SNH’s Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to its shareholders.  Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain its status as a REIT, limitations in its revolving credit facility agreement and public debt covenants, the availability of debt and equity capital to them, SNH’s expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance and its expected needs and availability of cash to pay its obligations.  FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of SNH’s financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of its needs.  SNH believes that FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate an understanding of its historical operating results.  These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, operating income and cash flow from operating activities as presented in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than SNH does.

 

(2)               In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, SNH recognizes percentage rental income received for the first, second and third quarters in the fourth quarter, which is when all contingencies are met and the income is earned.  Although SNH defers recognition of this revenue until the fourth quarter for purposes of calculating net income, it includes these estimated amounts in its calculation of Normalized FFO for each quarter of the year.  The fourth quarter Normalized FFO calculation excludes the amounts recognized during the first three quarters.
