Insights

The recent financial results from LTC Properties, Inc. reflect a strategic positioning that could influence market performance and investor sentiment. The company's net income increase from $17,809 to $28,057, alongside a reduction in leverage, suggests a robust financial health and a proactive management approach to balance sheet optimization. This is particularly noteworthy given the high-interest environment and its impact on the cost of debt for real estate investment trusts (REITs). The repayment of the revolving line of credit, which lowered the debt to EBITDA ratio from 6.0x to 5.5x, indicates a stronger credit profile and possibly improved terms for future borrowing.

However, the reported decrease in NAREIT funds from operations (FFO) from $29,218 to $23,902 raises questions about the operating income stability, which is a key metric for REIT performance assessment. The sale of non-core assets and the transition of portfolios are strategic moves that could lead to a more focused and efficient operation, but they may also reflect challenges in the seniors housing and health care property sectors. The successful replacement of the income from the original Brookdale portfolio demonstrates management's ability to navigate these challenges effectively.

Overall, the financial maneuvers executed by LTC, such as asset sales and debt repayment, suggest a company in transition, aiming for a more streamlined and growth-oriented future. This may appeal to investors looking for companies with a clear strategy for capital allocation and risk management.

The seniors housing and health care property sectors are sensitive to demographic trends, policy changes and economic cycles. LTC's strategic decisions to sell certain assets and reduce leverage are aligned with a broader industry trend of portfolio optimization in response to these external factors. The successful navigation of the COVID-19 pandemic's aftermath, as indicated by the transition of portfolios and the resolution of challenges faced, suggests that LTC is adapting well to the post-pandemic market conditions.

Additionally, the strategic amendments to the mortgage loan with Prestige Healthcare and the sale of the assisted living community in Mississippi reflect a proactive approach to asset management and capital recycling. The potential long-term benefits include a more resilient and adaptable portfolio that can better withstand economic downturns and capitalize on growth opportunities in the sector.

Investors and analysts should monitor the company's ability to maintain and grow its FAD, as this is a critical indicator of its capacity to sustain dividends, a key attraction for REIT investors. The reported stability in FAD, excluding non-recurring items, suggests that LTC's underlying operations remain solid despite the dynamic environment.

LTC's recent financial disclosures provide insight into the company's operational focus and risk management strategies within the REIT sector. The gain on sale of nine assisted living communities and the anticipated gain from the sale of a joint venture investment in Wisconsin indicate an active and potentially profitable asset disposition strategy. These sales could help streamline LTC's portfolio and focus on higher-yielding opportunities, which is a common practice among REITs aiming to enhance shareholder value.

The provision for credit losses and the impairment loss on certain properties signal a prudent approach to asset valuation and risk assessment. As the seniors housing market continues to evolve, particularly in response to demographic shifts and changing consumer preferences, LTC's ability to adjust its portfolio composition will be critical to its long-term success.

Investors should consider the implications of LTC's leasing strategies, such as the two-year lease term with extension options and the initial zero rent period, as these could affect near-term revenue but potentially offer long-term stability and partnership opportunities with operators. The funding of capital improvements and working capital notes at an 8.25% interest rate also reflects LTC's active management of its portfolio and support for its operators, which could lead to enhanced property performance and tenant success.

Fourth quarter 2023 financial results were impacted by:

  • Lower rental revenue due to transitioned portfolios, the repayment of Anthem’s 2022 temporary rent reduction in the 2022 fourth quarter, and property sales, partially offset by rent received from a 2023 second quarter acquisition, and annual rent escalations;
  • Higher interest income from financing receivables due to the acquisition of 11 assisted living and memory care communities during the 2023 first quarter, which is being accounted for as a financing receivable in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”);
  • Higher interest income from mortgage loans resulting from mortgage loan originations in the 2023 first quarter;
  • Higher interest expense primarily due to a higher outstanding balance on LTC’s revolving line of credit, and higher interest rates, partially offset by scheduled principal paydowns on LTC’s senior unsecured notes;
  • Higher transaction costs related to fees incurred on lease transitions and amendments;
  • A $16.8 million net gain on sale related to nine assisted living communities. See below for further discussion of the sales transactions; and
  • A $3.6 million provision for credit losses related to the write-off of a note receivable under the two-year ALG Senior (“ALG”) master lease covering 12 properties (eight in Texas, one in South Carolina, one in Mississippi, one in Florida and one in Georgia). These properties, seven of which were built in the 90s, are primarily located in small rural towns, are non-revenue generating, and were temporarily transitioned to ALG following the COVID pandemic in July 2022, allowing LTC time to find a more permanent solution for the portfolio, as follows:
    • Two of the properties located in Mississippi and Florida were sold during 2023.
    • LTC recorded a $3.3 million impairment loss to reduce the carrying value of seven of the Texas properties in conjunction with ongoing negotiations for their sale.
      • Five of these properties are expected to be sold for $1.6 million under an agreement signed subsequent to the end of 2023.
      • One of the properties located in Texas was closed during 2023, and another is expected to be closed. LTC plans to sell these properties for an alternative use.
    • LTC is negotiating the terms of an operator transition for the remaining Texas property.
    • Two of the properties located in Georgia and South Carolina were transitioned to an operator new to LTC subsequent to December 31, 2023. The lease term is two years with two one-year extension options. The initial rent for the first six months is zero, after which rent will be based on mutually agreed upon fair market rent. The master lease includes a purchase option that can be exercised in 2027 if the two one-year lease extensions are exercised. Additionally, LTC agreed to fund up to $906,000 for capital improvements for the first year, and up to $240,000 for a working capital note, at 8.25%, maturing on December 31, 2025.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, LTC completed the following transactions:

  • As previously announced in a press release dated January 8, 2024, completed the process for the original Brookdale master lease covering 35 assisted living communities, which resulted in more than fully replacing the income generated from the original lease through a combination of new leases and pre-investing sales proceeds;
  • As previously announced, amended a mortgage loan secured by 15 skilled nursing centers located in Michigan and operated by Prestige Healthcare (“Prestige”). Effective January 1, 2024, the minimum mortgage interest payment due to LTC is based on an annual current pay rate of 8.5% on the outstanding loan balance of $183.3 million. The current contractual interest rate on the loan of 10.8% remains unchanged. The amendment also provides LTC the right to draw on Prestige’s security to pay the difference between the contractual rate and current pay rate. LTC received all 2023 contractual interest of $19.5 million due from Prestige after applying $3.4 million of its security. Full contractual interest has been paid on the loan through February 2024 and LTC expects to receive full contractual cash interest through at least 2025. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, Prestige increased the security from its receipt of retro-active Medicaid funds. Accordingly, LTC currently holds security of $4.0 million. Additional retro-active Medicaid payments to be received by Prestige in 2024 will be remitted to LTC as security;
  • Sold a 67-unit assisted living community in Mississippi for $1.7 million, as mentioned above, and recorded a loss on sale of $219,000;
  • Paid $5.0 million in regular scheduled principal payments under LTC’s senior unsecured notes;
  • Repaid $60.0 million under LTC’s revolving line of credit reducing our debt to adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization for real estate ratio from 6.0x for the 2023 third quarter to 5.5x for the 2023 fourth quarter; and
  • Sold 1,609,900 shares of LTC’s common stock for $52.0 million in net proceeds under its equity distribution agreements.

Subsequent to December 31, 2023, LTC completed the following transactions:

  • Sold its interest in a joint venture investment in a 110-unit assisted living community in Wisconsin for $23.1 million, which yielded 8.1% to LTC in 2023. The purchase price includes repayment of $2.4 million of rent credit provided to the operator during new construction lease-up, as well as the payoff of a $550,000 note receivable. LTC received net proceeds of $19.6 million, net of transaction costs, and anticipates recording a gain on sale of $4.0 million in the 2024 first quarter;
  • Amended its unsecured revolving line of credit to accelerate the one-year extension option notice date to January 4, 2024. Concurrently, LTC exercised its option to extend the maturity date on its unsecured revolving line of credit to November 19, 2026. All other provisions of the agreement remain unchanged;
  • Repaid $30.5 million under its unsecured revolving line of credit; and
  • Sold 91,100 shares of common stock for $2.9 million in net proceeds under its equity distribution agreements.

“2023 was a year of execution for LTC, and due to the hard work of our team, we resolved substantially all of the challenges we faced during the year,” said Wendy Simpson, LTC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Importantly, we more than fully replaced the rent generated by our original Brookdale portfolio, reached a permanent solution for one of our transitioned portfolios, received all of the contractual interest owed under the Prestige mortgage loan ahead of schedule, and reduced our leverage earlier than expected, successfully positioning LTC for growth in 2024 and beyond.”

(1)

Represents rental income from acquisitions through sale-leaseback transactions, subject to leases which contain purchase options. In accordance with GAAP, the properties are required to be presented as financing receivables on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and the rental income to be presented as Interest income from financing receivables on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Supplemental Reporting Measures

FFO and FAD are supplemental measures of a real estate investment trust’s (“REIT”) financial performance that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Investors, analysts and the Company use FFO and FAD as supplemental measures of operating performance. The Company believes FFO and FAD are helpful in evaluating the operating performance of a REIT. Real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, but cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. We believe that by excluding the effect of historical cost depreciation, which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO and FAD facilitate like comparisons of operating performance between periods. Occasionally, the Company may exclude non-recurring items from FFO and FAD in order to allow investors, analysts and our management to compare the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated items.

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), means net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on the sale of real estate and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from that of the Company; therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing our Company’s FFO to that of other REITs.

We define FAD as FFO excluding the effects of straight-line rent, amortization of lease inducement, effective interest income, deferred income from unconsolidated joint ventures, non-cash compensation charges, capitalized interest and non-cash interest charges. GAAP requires rental revenues related to non-contingent leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease to be recognized evenly over the life of the lease. This method results in rental income in the early years of a lease that is higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset included in our consolidated balance sheet. At some point during the lease, depending on its terms, cash rent payments exceed the straight-line rent which results in the straight-line rent receivable asset decreasing to zero over the remainder of the lease term. Effective interest method, as required by GAAP, is a technique for calculating the actual interest rate for the term of a mortgage loan based on the initial origination value. Similar to the accounting methodology of straight-line rent, the actual interest rate is higher than the stated interest rate in the early years of the mortgage loan thus creating an effective interest receivable asset included in the interest receivable line item in our consolidated balance sheet and reduces down to zero when, at some point during the mortgage loan, the stated interest rate is higher than the actual interest rate. FAD is useful in analyzing the portion of cash flow that is available for distribution to stockholders. 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.

While the Company uses FFO and FAD as supplemental performance measures of our cash flow generated by operations and cash available for distribution to stockholders, such measures are not representative of cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income available to common stockholders.
