Insights

This refinancing transaction significantly enhances Community Healthcare Trust's financial flexibility and liquidity position. The upsizing of the revolving credit facility from $150 million to $400 million provides substantial additional borrowing capacity, which could be important for future growth initiatives or weathering potential economic uncertainties.

The maturity extension to 2028 improves the company's debt profile, reducing near-term refinancing risks. Moreover, the 10 to 30 basis point reduction in pricing will lead to lower interest expenses, positively impacting the bottom line. The repayment of the $75 million A-3 Term Loan using the new facility simplifies the debt structure.

The continued support from 12 financial institutions, including Truist Bank as the Administrative Agent, indicates strong banking relationships and confidence in CHCT's creditworthiness. The flexibility to choose between SOFR-based and base rate pricing options allows for optimized interest cost management.

Overall, this refinancing strengthens CHCT's balance sheet, potentially improving its ability to pursue acquisitions or development opportunities in the healthcare real estate sector.

This refinancing move by Community Healthcare Trust is a strategic play in the current real estate market environment. With a larger $400 million revolving facility, CHCT is well-positioned to capitalize on potential healthcare property acquisitions, especially if market conditions create buying opportunities.

The extended maturity to 2028 provides long-term stability, important in the real estate sector where capital-intensive investments often require patient capital. The improved pricing terms reflect the company's strong market position and the lenders' confidence in the healthcare real estate niche.

The decision to maintain interest rate swaps on a portion of the borrowings demonstrates prudent risk management, protecting against potential interest rate volatility. This balanced approach to fixed and floating rate debt is particularly important given the current uncertain interest rate environment.

For investors, this refinancing signals CHCT's proactive financial management and positions the company for potential growth in the healthcare property market, which has shown resilience even during economic downturns.

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated (NYSE: CHCT) (the "Company") today announced that it has closed on an amended 5-year $400 million senior unsecured revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Facility") with the Second Amendment to the Company's Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Refinancing Transaction"). This amended $400 million Revolving Facility will significantly increase the Company's liquidity compared to the previous $150 million senior unsecured revolving line of credit. Additionally, this Refinancing Transaction extends the Company's debt maturity profile with the next debt maturity not being until March 2028.

The Company's Revolving Facility is supported by 12 financial institutions with Truist Bank continuing to be the Administrative Agent.

Proceeds from the increased Revolving Facility were used to repay the existing seven-year term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million (the "A-3 Term Loan"), which was scheduled to mature on March 29, 2026. In addition, approximately $123.0 million that was outstanding under the Revolving Facility prior to October 16, 2024 will remain outstanding under the Revolving Facility pursuant to the Refinancing Transaction.

As amended by the Refinancing Transaction, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility will bear annual interest at a floating rate that is based, at the Company's option, on either: (i) adjusted term SOFR or adjusted daily simple SOFR (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.15% to 1.75% or (ii) a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.15% to 0.75% in each case, depending upon the Company's leverage ratio. Amounts outstanding under the A-4 Term Loan and A-5 Term Loan will continue to bear annual interest at a floating rate that is based, at the Company's option, on either: (i) adjusted term SOFR or adjusted daily simple SOFR (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.65% to 2.30% or (ii) a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.65% to 1.30%, in each case, depending upon the Company's leverage ratio. The Company previously entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rates on the A-3 Term Loan, A-4 Term Loan and A-5 Term Loan, with the interest rate swaps on the A-3 Term Loan remaining in place to fix the interest rates on a portion of the borrowings now under the Revolving Facility.
