VENTAS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER NORMALIZED FFO OF $45.8 MILLION

 

Second Quarter Normalized FFO Per Share Rises 13 Percent to $0.51 Per Share

 

Company Increases 2005 Normalized FFO Guidance to $2.06 to $2.08 Per Share;

Issues 2006 Normalized FFO Guidance of $2.20 to $2.23 Per Share

 

LOUISVILLE, KY (July 27, 2005) – Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR) (“Ventas” or the “Company”) said today that second quarter 2005 normalized Funds from Operations (“FFO”) rose 22 percent to $45.8 million, compared with $37.7 million in the second quarter of 2004. Normalized FFO per diluted share in the second quarter of 2005 increased 13 percent to $0.51 from $0.45 per diluted share for the comparable 2004 period. In the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company had 89.4 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared to 84.6 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding a year earlier.

 

Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $86.6 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, a 21 percent increase from $71.7 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, for the comparable 2004 period.

 

Normalized FFO for all periods excludes a $0.4 million expense relating to fees in connection with a bridge loan commitment obtained by the Company prior to the closing of the acquisition of Provident Senior Living Trust (“Provident”), which was not used by the Company. Results for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 benefited from increased rent resulting from the Company’s accelerated investment activity and increased rent from the escalator clauses contained in its existing leases.

 

“Our efforts over the past years have been focused on building a more reliable enterprise, assembling a diverse, high-quality seniors housing and healthcare portfolio, and creating a platform for sustained excellence. The successful completion of the Provident acquisition and the addition of other private-pay assets to our portfolio has helped us to accomplish these goals,” Ventas Chairman, President and CEO Debra A. Cafaro said. “With an enterprise value of $5 billion and a compound annual total return of 72.5 percent for the five-year period ended June 30, 2005, we continue to deliver growth and superior performance to our shareholders,” she added.

 

GAAP NET INCOME

 

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $27.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared with net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 of $25.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, after discontinued operations of $0.2 million.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $54.6 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared with net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $48.9 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, after discontinued operations of $0.4 million.

 

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS AND OTHER RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

  •   On July 11, 2005, Standard & Poor’s improved its outlook on Ventas debt to positive from stable, citing the Company’s improved diversity by tenant, asset/payor type and strong debt protection measures. Ventas’s unsecured debt rating from S&P is now BB/positive.

 

  •   On July 5, 2005, Ventas announced its intention to acquire six private-pay independent and assisted living facilities and lease them to Capital Senior Living Corp. in a transaction valued at $85 million. The Company also has a contract to acquire four assisted living assets located in Florida for approximately $57 million, subject to customary closing conditions. Although Ventas expects to complete these transactions in the third quarter of 2005, there can be no assurance that the transactions will occur or, if so, when the closings will occur.

 

  •   On June 7, 2005, Ventas completed the previously announced $1.2 billion acquisition of Provident that added 68 high-quality, private-pay independent and assisted living properties to its portfolio.

 

  •   In addition to the Provident acquisition, from April 29 through June 30, 2005, Ventas completed investments totaling $21.9 million. These investments consist of one assisted living facility and a first mortgage loan secured by one assisted living facility, and have an initial cash yield exceeding 9 percent.

 

  •   As previously reported, Ventas invested $70.9 million in healthcare and seniors housing assets from April 1 through April 28 of this year. The initial cash yield on these investments exceeds 9 percent. The investments consist of nine independent and assisted living facilities and a first mortgage loan secured by two assisted living facilities.

 

  •   With the previously completed acquisitions, annualized rent from the Company’s principal tenant, Kindred Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: KND) (“Kindred”), represents approximately 54 percent of the Company’s run rate total revenue, assuming a full year effect of all closed 2005 acquisitions. Annualized revenue from market rate, non-government-reimbursed assets in the Company’s portfolio represents approximately 41 percent of the Company’s annualized revenue on the same basis. Assets leased to Kindred now represent approximately 35 percent of the Company’s total real estate assets, measured on a gross book value basis.

 

  •   The 225 skilled nursing facilities and hospitals leased by the Company to Kindred produced EBITDAR to rent coverage of 1.9 times (after management fees) for the trailing twelve-month period ended March 31, 2005 (the latest date available). Further information detailing these rent coverages is contained on a schedule attached to this press release.

 

  •   Ventas issued $400 million of unsecured senior notes that have a weighted average maturity of 7.7 years and a weighted average interest rate of approximately 7 percent. These transactions locked in the Company’s long-term debt costs, giving it greater capacity to continue its growth and diversification plan. Proceeds were used to pay the cash portion of the Provident acquisition and to repay borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

 

  •   The Company raised nearly $100 million of equity with the sale of 3.2 million shares of common stock on July 6, 2005. Shares and share equivalents of the Company outstanding is approximately 103.3 million.

 

  •   The Company’s debt to total capitalization is approximately 36 percent.

 

  •   Ventas has a one-time right (the “Reset Right”) under each master lease with Kindred (the “Kindred Master Leases”) to increase the base annual rent to a then fair market rental rate. Ventas currently intends to give its notice to exercise the Reset Right on January 20, 2006. If the Reset Right is exercised, the rental increase, if any, would commence as early as July 19, 2006, and Ventas would pay a reset fee of up to $4.6 million. If the Reset Right is exercised, the annual rent escalations under the applicable Kindred Master Leases may be altered, depending on market conditions at the time. The Company believes that, based upon information currently available to it, reports of experts and current conditions, if Ventas were currently entitled to, and did, exercise the Reset Right, the base rent under the Kindred Master Leases would increase by at least $35 million per year. However, the value of the Reset Right is dependent on a variety of factors and market conditions and is highly speculative, and there can be no assurance regarding the value of the Reset Right.

SECOND QUARTER 2005 RESULTS

 

Rental revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $72.5 million, of which $49.8 million resulted from leases with Kindred. Second quarter 2005 expenses totaled $47.9 million and included $18.3 million of depreciation expense and $22.9 million of interest expense. Combined general, administrative and professional fees totaled $5.6 million. Property-level operating expenses relating to the Company’s medical office building portfolio for the period were $0.6 million.

 

SIX MONTH 2005 RESULTS

 

Rental revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $135.3 million, of which $98.4 million resulted from leases with Kindred. Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 totaled $84.3 million and included $31.6 million of depreciation expense and $40.1 million of interest expense. Combined general, administrative and professional fees totaled $10.6 million. Property-level operating expenses relating to the Company’s medical office building portfolio for the period were $1.2 million.

 

VENTAS RAISES 2005 GUIDANCE AND ISSUES 2006 GUIDANCE

 

With the completion of the Provident acquisition, and assuming that the Company closes $142 million of acquisitions it currently has under contract in the third quarter, Ventas expects 2005 normalized FFO to be between $2.06 and $2.08 per diluted share, increased from the previous guidance of $1.94 to $1.96 per diluted share.

 

The Company also said that, if these acquisitions close as expected, it should achieve 2006 normalized FFO of between $2.20 and $2.23 per diluted share.

 

The Company expects non-cash straight-line rent attributable to the leases acquired in the Provident acquisition to approximate $11.0 million in 2005 and $17.1 million in 2006.

 

The Company’s normalized FFO guidance for all periods assumes that all of the Company’s tenants and borrowers continue to meet all of their obligations to the Company. In addition, the Company’s normalized FFO guidance (and related GAAP earnings projections) excludes gains and losses on the sales of assets and the impact of future, unannounced acquisitions, divestitures (including pursuant to tenant options to purchase) and capital transactions. Its guidance also excludes the future impact of (a) any rent or other amounts derived from the Reset Right, whether through a negotiated resolution with Kindred or the appraisal process set forth in the Kindred Master Leases, (b) any expense the Company records for non-cash “swap ineffectiveness,” and (c) any expenses related to asset impairment, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees or additional costs, expenses or premiums incurred as a result of early debt retirement.

 

The Company’s guidance is based on a number of other assumptions, which are subject to change and many of which are outside the control of the Company. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company’s expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results.

 

Reconciliation of the Company’s guidance to the Company’s projected GAAP earnings is provided on a schedule attached to this press release. The Company may from time to time update its publicly announced guidance, but it is not obligated to do so.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. To overcome this problem, the Company considers FFO an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT. The Company uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition of FFO. NAREIT defines FFO as net income, computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

 

FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) or as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is FFO necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs. The Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating results of the Company, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented elsewhere in this press release.

The Company considers EBITDA a profitability measure which indicates the Company’s ability to service debt. The Company considers the net debt to EBITDA ratio a useful measure to evaluate the Company’s ability to pay its indebtedness. EBITDA presented herein is not necessarily comparable to EBITDA presented by other companies due to the fact that not all companies use the same definition. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) or as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is EBITDA necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs. The Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating results of the Company, EBITDA should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented elsewhere in this press release.
