$51 Million in New Investments Announced
The company reported over $51 million in capital deployment since its June 1, 2014 spin-off from Ensign. “We are pleased to report that we are on track with our investments, and doing so at attractive risk-adjusted returns,” said Greg Stapley, CareTrust’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “More importantly, in these transactions we have developed some outstanding operator relationships that we believe will continue to bear fruit for years to come,” he added.
Mr. Stapley noted that the operator community has responded positively to CareTrust’s “by operators-for operators” approach to real estate investing, and that more operators have already signed on to work with CareTrust, which has additional prospective acquisitions under contract and in negotiations.
William Wagner, CareTrust’s Chief Financial Officer, reported that the Company’s earnings and profits purging distribution, made in the fourth quarter, had essentially completed the company’s tax-free spin-off from Ensign. He explained that the complex earnings and profits purge was necessary to clear CareTrust’s allocated share of Ensign’s historical earnings and profits, in order for CareTrust to qualify as a real estate investment trust for 2014. The purging distribution amounted to approximately $132 million, or $5.88 per share, $33 million of which was paid in cash and the balance of which was paid in stock. “Putting this last major step of the spin-off behind us allowed us to finally focus 100% of our attention on growing CareTrust,” he said.
Prior to June 1, 2014, CareTrust was a wholly-owned real estate subsidiary of The Ensign Group, Inc. On June 1, 2014, Ensign completed the separation of its healthcare business and its real estate business into two separate and independent publicly traded companies through the distribution of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CareTrust to Ensign shareholders on a pro rata basis. In the spin-off, Ensign shareholders received one share of CareTrust common stock for each share of Ensign common stock held at the close of business on May 22, 2014, the record date for the spin-off.
Financial Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2014
Discussing financial results for the quarter, Mr. Wagner explained that although CareTrust existed as a subsidiary of Ensign prior to the spin-off and reports historical financial results based on that prior status, because CareTrust’s capital structure, revenue stream and management structure changed so markedly at the spin-off, it is essentially a new company. “This makes year-over-year comparisons difficult at best, as our filings will continue to necessarily include historical results based on pre-spin financials that included the old intercompany leases which were replaced on June 1, and other factors that are no longer extant at CareTrust,” he advised.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, Mr. Wagner reported that the Company generated Funds from Operations or “FFO” of $6.0 million, and Funds Available for Distribution or “FAD” of $6.7 million. After adjusting for one-time costs mainly associated with the spin-off and acquisition costs related to new investments that were incurred during the quarter, normalized FFO was $6.2 million or $0.25 per diluted common share, and normalized FAD was $6.9 million or $0.28 per diluted share. Net income was $0.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted common share, and was impacted by $1.2 million of cash compensation accrued in the fourth quarter as a result of management’s achievement of certain incentive targets.
Current Liquidity
Mr. Wagner also reported that, as of December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $25.3 million in cash on hand, plus borrowing availability of approximately $84.2 million under its undrawn $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility. He noted that $33.0 million in cash was distributed in the quarter in connection with the Company’s earnings and profits purging distribution, and another $33.3 million in connection with four separate transactions.
Dividend Declared
In the quarter, the company declared a regular dividend of $0.125 per common share to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2014. Mr. Wagner noted that the amount of the dividend was dictated in part and primarily by the company’s need, following the purging distribution, to clear remaining taxable net income for 2014 in order for CareTrust to qualify as a real estate investment trust for 2014. The amount of the dividend represented a payout ratio of approximately 50% of Funds Available for Distribution based on third quarter 2014 FFO.
Acquisition Pipeline
In the quarter, CareTrust closed four separate transactions, deploying approximately $33.3 million at a blended average initial cash yield of 9.23%. The investments were all made using cash on hand, and included:
|
|
§
|
A three-building assisted living sale-leaseback with Cross Healthcare, and Idaho-based seniors housing operator. The $12.0 million deal included 90 assisted living and memory care units, carries an initial cash yield of 8.5% on EBITDAR lease coverage of 1.31x, and produces initial annual lease revenue of $1.0 million. The average age of the buildings is eight years, and occupancy at acquisition was 92%. The Cross agreement also includes rights for CareTrust to acquire three additional Cross assets in the future.
|
|
|
§
|
Prelude at Woodbury, an upscale memory care facility in Woodbury, Minnesota, a Minneapolis suburb, for $7.2 million. The transaction was a sale-leaseback with Prelude Homes & Services, LLC, which developed and opened the 30-bed facility in 2011. The Woodbury investment carries an initial cash yield of 8.25% on EBITDAR lease coverage of 1.30x, producing initial annual lease revenue of $0.6 million. CareTrust also secured an option to purchase and lease back Prelude’s next senior housing project, which is currently under development in nearby White Bear Lake, Minnesota.
|
|
|
§
|
A $7.5 million preferred equity investment with Signature Senior Living and Milestone Retirement Communities, to develop Signature Senior Living at Arvada, a 134-unit upscale assisted living and memory care community in the Denver metro area which is currently under construction. The investment delivers a 12.0% annual preferred return, and includes an option to purchase the new community at a fixed-formula price upon stabilization, with an initial lease yield of at least 8.0%.
|
|
|
§
|
English Meadows at Christiansburg, a 39-unit assisted living facility in Christiansburg, Virginia, for $6.6 million, on a sale-leaseback with Twenty/20 Management, Inc. The English Meadows investment provides an initial cash yield of 8.50% on EBITDAR lease coverage of 1.30x, producing initial annual lease revenue of $0.56 million. Contemporaneously with the English Meadows transaction, CareTrust also entered into an agreement with a Twenty/20 affiliate to purchase and lease back Twenty/20’s recently-acquired English Meadows Elks’ Home, a 169-unit independent and assisted living campus located in Bedford, Virginia, when it is stabilized.
|
The Company also disclosed that it has, since the end of the quarter, closed on Bethany Rehabilitation Center, a 170-bed skilled nursing facility in Lakewood, Colorado, for $17.95 million. CareTrust entered into a triple-net lease with Eduro Healthcare, LLC, a small but growing and well-
regarded Utah-based skilled nursing and home health operator, which took over operations effective February 1, 2015. The Bethany investment provides an initial cash yield of 9.65% on EBITDAR lease coverage of 1.30x, producing initial annual lease revenue of $1.7 million.
Management noted that CareTrust has deployed approximately $51 million since the spin-off, and reported that at present it has additional acquisition opportunities either under contract or bid out under competitive term sheets that collectively represent over $350 million in potential transactions for 2015. Management affirmed that the Company is actively working with a variety of owners, operators and brokers to source compelling opportunities to extend the CareTrust footprint nationwide.
Existing Portfolio
Management also reported that CareTrust’s portfolio with its principal tenant, The Ensign Group, Inc., which portfolio is comprised of approximately 80% skilled nursing and 20% seniors housing assets, has reported lease coverage through the third quarter of 2014 at 1.91x, on an EBITDAR basis. This represents an improvement from the 1.85x coverage in place at the time of the spin-off.
CareTrust’s growing portfolio includes 103 properties in twelve states, with 8,545 skilled beds, 1,704 assisted living units, and 477 independent living units leased and in operation. Of the 103 properties CareTrust owns, 94 are net-leased to its former parent, Ensign, six are net-leased to other operators and three independent living facilities are operated by CareTrust subsidiaries
2015 Guidance
CareTrust issued guidance for 2015, superseding previously-issued guidance which had covered the 12-month period following the June 1 spin-off from Ensign. The 2015 guidance includes projected revenues of approximately $63.3 million exclusive of tenant reimbursements, approximately $24.0 million in interest expense, and $6.2 to $6.9 million in general and administrative expense. The Company also projected 2015 normalized FFO, normalized FAD and net income of $0.96 to $0.98, $1.06 to $1.08, and $0.26 to $0.28 per diluted common share, respectively. This guidance assumes diluted weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 31.57 million and no additional acquisitions or dispositions, and reflects the effects of non-cash incentive compensation only to the extent issued to date.
Mr. Wagner noted that the Company plans to update guidance quarterly, primarily to account for completed acquisitions from quarter to quarter.

EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted 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 costs associated with the spin-off, impairments, and gains or losses on the sale of real estate. EBITDA and Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted 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. However, 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 real estate dispositions, real estate depreciation and amortization and 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 non-cash expenses, such as stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and the effects of straight-line rent. FAD is useful in analyzing the portion of cash flow that is available for distribution to shareholders. 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.
In addition, the Company reports normalized FFO and normalized FAD, which adjusts FFO and FAD for certain revenue and expense items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing operating results, such as costs associated with the spin-off, impairments, gains or losses on the sale of real estate and other non-recurring expenses and unanticipated charges. 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 the use of EBITDA, Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA useful in understanding of the Company’s operating results independent of its capital structure and indebtedness, thereby allowing for a more meaningful comparison of operating performance between periods and against other REITs. Additionally, as a liquidity measure, the Company believes that EBITDA can help investors analyze the company’s ability to meet its interest payments on outstanding debt. 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 non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, FFO, normalized FFO, FAD and normalized FAD can help investors compare the Company’s operating performance between periods and to other REITs.
