Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. Announces Continued Private Pay and Operating Margin Successes;
Completes Financing and Acquisition of Nine Previously Leased Residences
MENOMONEE FALLS, WISCONSIN November 2, 2010
Highlights:
  •   Increased average private pay occupancy by 111 and 16 units over the third quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2010, respectively
 
  •   Increased Adjusted EBITDAR as a percent of revenues to 34.5%, up from 33.6% in both the third quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2010
 
  •   Completed acquisition of nine previously leased residences
Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (“ALC”) (NYSE:ALC) reported net income of $4.6 million ($0.39 per diluted common share) in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to net income from continuing operations and net income of $4.2 million ($0.36 per diluted common share) and $3.4 million ($0.29 per diluted common share), respectively, in the third quarter of 2009.
“Third quarter results demonstrated our continuous positive trend in private pay occupancy and Adjusted EBITDAR,” commented Laurie Bebo, President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the third and early part of the fourth quarter, we completed another successful mortgage loan and acquired nine of our previously leased residences. We continue to believe that the ownership of our residences and the ability to put in place fixed rate financing without significant operational restrictions are important steps toward enhancing the value of our business model. As demonstrated by recent transactions, senior living real estate valuations appear to be on the rise and further emphasizes the inherent value of the ALC portfolio.”
For the first nine months of 2010, ALC reported net income of $11.1 million. During the second quarter of 2010, ALC recorded the following “One-Time Charges”: an impairment charge relating to a non-cash write-down of certain equity investments ($1.3 million net of income tax benefits); expenses associated with the realignment of our divisions ($0.3 million net of income tax benefits); and a write-off of expenses incurred with an expansion project that the company decided not to complete ($0.1 million net of income tax benefits). Excluding these One-Time Charges, net income for the first nine months of 2010 would have been $12.7 million compared to a net loss from continuing operations and a net loss of $3.5 million and $4.5 million in the first nine months of 2009, respectively. Excluding an impairment charge related to the non-cash, non-recurring write-off of all goodwill ($14.7 million net of income tax benefits) recorded in the first quarter of 2009 and the non-cash non recurring write-off ($0.9 million net of income tax benefits) resulting from a decision not to exercise a purchase option on four leased properties recorded in the third quarter of 2009, net income from continuing operations and net income for the first nine months of 2009 would have been $11.3 million and $11.1 million, respectively.
Diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter and the first nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were:

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are used in the discussions in this release in assessing the performance of the business. See attached tables for definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR, reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, calculations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues, and non-GAAP financial measure reconciliation information.
As of September 30, 2010, ALC operated 211 senior living residences comprising 9,305 units.
The following discussions exclude the impact of discontinued operations.
Quarters ended September 30, 2010, September 30, 2009, June 30, 2010
Revenues of $58.5 million in the third quarter ended September 30, 2010 increased $1.3 million or 2.3% from $57.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 and increased $0.2 million or 0.4% from the second quarter of 2010.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2010 was $15.0 million or 25.7% of revenues and
  •   increased $0.9 million or 6.2% from $14.2 million and 24.7% of revenues in the third quarter of 2009; and
  •   increased $0.5 million or 3.7% from $14.5 million and 24.9% of revenues in the second quarter of 2010.
Adjusted EBITDAR for the third quarter of 2010 was $20.2 million or 34.5% of revenues and
  •   increased $1.0 million or 5.1% from $19.2 million and 33.6% of revenues in the third quarter of 2009; and
  •   increased $0.6 million or 3.0% from $19.6 million and 33.6% of revenues in the second quarter of 2010.
Third quarter 2010 compared to third quarter 2009
Revenues in the third quarter of 2010 increased from the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to higher average daily revenue as a result of rate increases ($1.8 million) and an increase in private pay occupancy ($1.1 million), partially offset by the planned reduction in the number of units occupied by Medicaid residents ($1.6 million). The average number of units occupied by Medicaid residents declined by 248 units. Average private pay rates increased in the third quarter of 2010 by 3.4% over average private pay rates for the third quarter of 2009. Average overall rates, including the impact of improved payer mix, increased in the third quarter of 2010 by 4.8% over comparable rates for the third quarter of 2009.
Both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR increased in the third quarter of 2010 primarily due to an increase in revenues discussed above ($1.3 million) and a decrease in residence operations expenses ($0.1 million) (this excludes gains and losses on the disposals of fixed assets), partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ($0.4 million) (this excludes non-cash equity based compensation) and, for Adjusted EBITDA only, an increase in residence lease expense ($0.1 million). Residence operations expense declined primarily from lower labor costs associated with the reduction of Medicaid residents, partially offset by higher utility expenses. General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2010 were higher than the third quarter of 2009 as a result of a non-recurring favorable legal settlement in the third quarter of 2009.
Third quarter 2010 compared to the second quarter 2010
Revenues in the third quarter of 2010 increased from the second quarter of 2010 primarily due to one additional day in the third quarter ($0.6 million), an increase in the number of units occupied by private pay residents ($0.2 million), partially offset by lower average daily revenue as a result of Medicaid and private pay rate decreases ($0.3 million), and the planned reduction in the number of units occupied by Medicaid residents ($0.3 million). The average number of units occupied by Medicaid residents declined by 39 units.

Increased Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2010 resulted primarily from a decrease in general and administrative expenses ($0.6 million) (this excludes non-cash equity-based compensation) and an increase in revenues discussed above ($0.2 million), partially offset by an increase in residence operations expenses ($0.2 million) (this excludes gains and losses on the disposals of fixed assets) and, for Adjusted EBITDA only, an increase in residence lease expense ($0.1 million). Residence operations expenses increased primarily from increases in utility expenses resulting from normal seasonal fluctuations. General and administrative expenses decreased as a result of non-recurring second quarter expenses associated with an all-company conference and the realignment of our divisions.
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009
Revenues of $174.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $3.7 million or 2.2% from $171.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $43.1 million, or 24.7% of revenues and
  •   increased $4.2 million or 10.7% from $39.0 million and 22.8% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Adjusted EBITDAR for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $58.5 million, or 33.5% of revenues and
  •   increased $4.5 million or 8.4% from $53.9 million and 31.5% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2009
Revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased from the nine months ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to higher average daily revenue from rate increases ($6.1 million) and an increase in private pay occupancy ($3.2 million), partially offset by the planned reduction in the number of units occupied by Medicaid residents ($5.6 million). The average number of units occupied by Medicaid residents declined by 280 units. Average private pay rates increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 by 3.7% over average private pay rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Average overall rates, including the impact of improved payer mix, increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 by 5.3% over the comparable rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily from a decrease in residence operations expenses ($2.3 million) (this excludes the loss on disposal of fixed assets), and the increase in revenues discussed above ($3.7 million), partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ($1.5 million) (this excludes non-cash equity based compensation) and, for Adjusted EBITDA only, an increase in residence lease expense ($0.4 million). Residence operations expenses decreased primarily from lower labor expenses. Staffing needs in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased primarily because of a reduction in the number of units occupied by Medicaid residents who tend to have higher care needs than private pay residents. In addition, general economic conditions enabled us to hire new employees at lower wage rates. General and administrative expenses increased primarily from upfront costs associated with transitioning payroll and benefits from a third party vendor to in-house, expenses associated with an all-company conference held in the second quarter of 2010, and expenses associated with the second quarter realignment of our divisions.
Liquidity
At September 30, 2010 ALC maintained a strong liquidity position with cash of approximately $37 million and undrawn lines of $70 million. Effective November 1, 2010, ALC utilized approximately $27.5 million of cash to complete the purchase of its previously announced acquisition of nine senior living residences from HCP, Inc.)

Share Repurchase Program
On August 9, 2010, ALC’s Board of Directors extended and expanded its share repurchase program by authorizing the purchase of up to $15 million in Class A common stock through August 9, 2011. In 2010, through November 1, 2010, ALC repurchased 72,986 shares of Class A Common Stock at a cost of $2.2 million and an average price of $30.18 per share (excluding fees).
Other Items
On September 30, 2010 ALC completed an expansion and extension of a loan agreement with TCF National Bank (“TCF”). As previously announced, the revised loan agreement increased the loan from $14.0 million to $26.25 million and extended the maturity from June 12, 2014 to September 30, 2015. The loan bears interest at the rate of 6.5% and is secured by mortgages on six of ALC’s senior housing residences.
On November 1, 2010 ALC completed its previously announced acquisition of nine senior living residences. The nine residences were previously leased and operated by ALC. The purchase price was $27.5 million plus certain transaction costs. The nine residences, two of which are located in New Jersey and seven in Texas, contain a total of 365 units.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense net of interest income, depreciation and amortization, equity based compensation expense, transaction costs and non-cash, non-recurring gains and losses, including disposal of assets and impairment of long-lived assets (including goodwill) and loss on refinancing and retirement of debt. Adjusted EBITDAR is defined as Adjusted EBITDA before rent expenses incurred for leased assisted living properties. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR as key performance indicators and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR expressed as a percentage of total revenues as a measurement of margin.
We understand that EBITDA and EBITDAR, or derivatives thereof, are customarily used by lenders, financial and credit analysts, and many investors as a performance measure in evaluating a company’s ability to service debt and meet other payment obligations or as a common valuation measurement in the long-term care industry. Moreover, ALC’s revolving credit facility contains covenants in which a form of EBITDA is used as a measure of compliance, and we anticipate EBITDA will be used in covenants in any new financing arrangements that we may establish. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our core results because these measures exclude the effects of non-operating factors related to our capital assets, such as the historical cost of the assets.
We report specific line items separately, and exclude them from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR because such items are transitional in nature and would otherwise distort historical trends. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to assess our operating performance and in making financing decisions. In particular, we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR in analyzing potential acquisitions and internal expansion possibilities. Adjusted EBITDAR performance is also used in determining compensation levels for our senior executives. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities, and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR on a consistent basis from period to period, thereby, allowing for comparability of operating performance.
