Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 2024 results reveal a mixed performance for Sila Realty Trust. Key metrics show: $11.9M net income ($0.21/share), $40.8M Cash NOI and $31.7M AFFO ($0.57/share). While maintaining a solid 70.7% dividend payout ratio, there's a year-over-year decline in Cash NOI from $44.2M to $40.8M.

The company's portfolio metrics remain strong with 95.5% occupancy and a weighted average lease term of 8.3 years. The balance sheet shows robust liquidity of $528.6M and a conservative net debt to enterprise value of 26.1%. Notable strategic moves include a $28.4M acquisition in Arkansas and completion of a $50M tender offer, demonstrating active portfolio management.

The Steward bankruptcy impact and GenesisCare lease amendments present near-term challenges, but the 2.2% weighted average rent escalators provide stable growth potential.

Healthcare Real Estate Expert

The portfolio repositioning strategy shows careful market selection and asset management. The acquisition of the Fort Smith rehabilitation facility strengthens the company's presence in specialty healthcare, while the disposition of vacant GenesisCare properties demonstrates proactive risk management.

The shift to quarterly distributions in 2025 from monthly payments suggests a more conventional REIT approach, aligning with industry standards. The development of two new facilities through mezzanine loans ($17.5M total) with purchase options represents a creative approach to pipeline growth with controlled risk.

The 20.1% of rent roll expiring in the next five years provides both risk and opportunity for mark-to-market adjustments. The geographic diversification across 65 markets helps mitigate local market risks, though the Steward situation highlights tenant credit risk challenges in healthcare real estate.

Management Commentary

"During the third quarter the Company demonstrated its continued pursuit of strategic and thoughtful acquisitions with the addition of a market leading inpatient rehabilitation facility in Fort Smith, Arkansas, for $28.4 million. We also successfully concluded the approximately $50.0 million modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer that was launched in conjunction with our listing on the New York Stock Exchange,” stated Michael A. Seton, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “In addition, we sold two vacant properties formerly leased to GenesisCare for a sales price of $15.5 million, leaving only two remaining vacant properties formerly leased to GenesisCare. We are actively working to lease one of the remaining properties to a high quality credit tenant, and sell the one remaining property, which is now under contract for sale.

“We believe these continued efforts by our team contributed to solid results for the third quarter including cash net operating income of $40.8 million and AFFO of $31.7 million. We continue to evaluate prospective transactions and believe we have a pipeline of attractive investment opportunities across our target asset classes. For the first nine months of the year, we acquired eight properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $164.1 million. We will strive to continue to leverage our robust in-house capabilities and our strong balance sheet and liquidity position to execute our disciplined growth strategy.

“Thank you to everyone for the well wishes regarding Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. Thankfully, all of our employees are safe and Sila’s properties in the affected areas experienced no material damage. Our thoughts are with those who were less fortunate as many communities continue their clean up and rebuilding efforts.”

Financial Results

Third quarter results include the acquisition of the Fort Smith Healthcare Facility, the disposition of the Fort Myers Healthcare Facilities, and the conclusion of the Tender Offer where the Company accepted for purchase 2.2 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of $22.60 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50.0 million, excluding all related costs and fees. Additionally, as previously disclosed, on May 6, 2024, Steward Health Care System LLC, or Steward, the sponsor and owner of a tenant at the Stoughton Healthcare Facility, announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code. On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into a contract for sale with a buyer for the Stoughton Healthcare Facility, however, the buyer terminated the contract on November 4, 2024. The Company intends to market the property for sale or lease. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we received $1.4 million of contractual base rent from Steward, which represents monthly contractual base rent, except for April and May for which Steward did not pay, and prorated through September 19, 2024, when the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas approved Steward's request to reject the Company's lease.

Net Income

Our GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $11.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $15.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023. Our GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2024 was $31.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to $33.0 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2023.

Cash NOI*

Cash NOI was $40.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $44.2 million for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in Cash NOI is the result of Cash NOI lost from dispositions exceeding Cash NOI gained from acquisitions, which is primarily related to the timing of redeployment of proceeds from dispositions, the amended master lease with GenesisCare USA, Inc. and its affiliates, or GenesisCare, the Steward events described above and a decrease in lease termination fee income received. This was partially offset by third quarter 2024 Cash NOI increases at our other same-store properties compared to the third quarter of 2023 primarily as a result of rent increases.

Cash NOI was $127.6 million for the first nine months of 2024, as compared to $132.1 million for the first nine months of 2023. The decrease in Cash NOI is the result of Cash NOI lost from dispositions exceeding Cash NOI gained from acquisitions, which is primarily related to the timing of redeployment of proceeds from dispositions, the amended master lease with GenesisCare, the Steward events described above and a decrease in lease termination fee income received. This was partially offset by a same store Cash NOI* increase in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due in part to the receipt of a one-time payment from GenesisCare as consideration for the removal of certain properties from the master lease, in addition to an increase in other same store property Cash NOI in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023 primarily as a result of rent increases.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)*

AFFO was $31.7 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2024, compared to $34.1 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2023.

AFFO for the first nine months of 2024 was $100.8 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, compared to $100.0 million, or $1.75 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2023.

Real Estate Portfolio Highlights

Investment Activity

During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company acquired one healthcare property in Fort Smith, Arkansas, comprising 62,570 rentable square feet, for a purchase price of $28.4 million. Upon acquisition, the property was 100% leased under an absolute-net lease to Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital, LLC with a lease expiration in 2036.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold the Fort Myers Healthcare Facilities for a sales price of $15.5 million, generating net proceeds of $14.7 million, excluding real estate tax pro-rations.

Portfolio

As of September 30, 2024, Sila's well diversified real estate portfolio consisted of 136 properties comprising approximately 5.3 million rentable square feet. The weighted average remaining lease term was approximately 8.3 years with 20.1% of annualized base rent maturing in the next five years and a weighted average fixed rent escalation rate of 2.2%, excluding leases tied to the consumer price index.

As of September 30, 2024, the weighted average percentage of rentable square feet leased was 95.5%. There was a 2.0% decrease in the weighted average percentage of rentable square feet leased during the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was driven by a reduction of 180,744 leased rentable square feet resulting from the bankruptcy court's rejection of the Company's lease with Steward on September 19, 2024; partially offset by the sale of the vacant Fort Myers Healthcare Facilities, comprising 79,237 rentable square feet.

Balance Sheet and Capital Markets Activities

Sila had a strong balance sheet and liquidity position totaling approximately $528.6 million, consisting of $28.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $500.0 million of availability under its unsecured credit facility as of September 30, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company used $50.0 million in cash to close the Tender Offer and used $8.4 million in cash and borrowed $20.0 million on its revolving line of credit to acquire the Fort Smith Healthcare Facility. The Company repaid the $20.0 million on its revolving line of credit with cash flows from operations and the disposition of the Fort Myers Healthcare Facilities.

Total principal debt outstanding under the unsecured credit facility as of September 30, 2024 was $525.0 million and was fixed through 11 interest rate swap agreements. Of the 11 interest rate swap agreements, five interest rate swap agreements with an outstanding notional amount of $250.0 million mature on December 31, 2024, and six interest rate swap agreements with an outstanding notional amount of $275.0 million mature on January 31, 2028. The Company's weighted average interest rate on the total principal debt outstanding was 3.3%, including the impact of the interest rate swap agreements, as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, net debt to enterprise value was approximately 26.1%.

As a result of the Tender Offer, the Company accepted for purchase approximately 2.2 million shares of its common stock (which represented approximately 3.9% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of July 19, 2024, the expiration date of the Tender Offer) at a purchase price of $22.60 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50.0 million, excluding related costs and fees. The Company incurred $2.1 million of costs and fees related to the Tender Offer. The Company funded the Tender Offer, and will fund all related costs and fees, with its available cash.

On August 16, 2024, the Company's board of directors, or the Board, authorized a share repurchase program of up to the lesser of 1.5 million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, or $25.0 million in gross purchase proceeds for a period of 12 months from August 16, 2024, or the Share Repurchase Program. Repurchases of common stock under the Share Repurchase Program may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated purchases, in accelerated share repurchase programs or by any other lawful means. The number of shares of common stock purchased and the timing of any purchases will depend on a number of factors, including the price and availability of common stock and general market conditions. The Company did not repurchase any shares under the Share Repurchase Program during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Therefore, as of September 30, 2024, up to $25.0 million of the Company's common stock remained available for repurchase under the Share Repurchase Program.

Distributions

The Company's dividend payout to AFFO ratio was 70.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. On October 15, 2024, the Company paid cash distributions of approximately $7.4 million to the Company's stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2024. On October 18, 2024, the Board approved and authorized a distribution payable on November 15, 2024, to the Company's stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2024. The distribution will be equal to $0.1333 per share of common stock, representing an annualized amount of $1.60 per share. Additionally, on October 18, 2024, the Board approved a change in the frequency of the Company's distributions to its stockholders from monthly distributions to quarterly distributions, effective in 2025, with the first quarterly distribution to be paid in the Company's first fiscal quarter of 2025. Accordingly, the Company expects to announce the amount, record date, and payment date of any such distributions at a later date.

(1)	The three months ended September 30, 2023 include $1,650,000 of lease termination fee income received. The nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 include $4,098,000 and $5,650,000, respectively, of lease termination fee income received.
(2)	The nine months ended September 30, 2024 include a $2,000,000 severance fee received from GenesisCare in exchange for 10 properties removed from the prior master lease, or the Severed Properties, and will be recognized in rental revenues over the remaining GenesisCare amended master lease term.

Funds From Operations (FFO)

FFO is calculated consistent with NAREIT's definition, as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains from sales of real estate assets, impairment of real estate assets and disposition losses from sales of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, 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. To date, we do not have any investments in unconsolidated partnerships or joint ventures. We believe FFO provides a useful understanding of our performance to investors and to our management, and when compared to year over year, FFO reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company does, making comparisons less meaningful.

Core FFO

The Company believes Core FFO is a supplemental financial performance measure that provides investors with additional information to understand the Company's sustainable performance. The Company calculates Core FFO by adjusting FFO to remove the effect of certain GAAP non-cash income and expense items, unusual and infrequent items that are not expected to impact its operating performance on an ongoing basis, items that affect comparability to prior periods and/or items that are not related to its core real estate operations. Excluded items include listing-related expenses, severance, write-off of straight-line rent receivables related to prior periods, accelerated stock-based compensation, amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles (including ground leases) and loss on extinguishment of debt. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Core FFO and, accordingly, the Company’s Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

AFFO

The Company believes AFFO is a supplemental financial performance measure that provides investors appropriate supplemental information to evaluate the ongoing operations of the Company. AFFO is a metric used by management to evaluate the Company's dividend policy. The Company calculates AFFO by further adjusting Core FFO for the following items: deferred rent, current period straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, the Company’s AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate than the GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating the Company's operational performance. The method used to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be considered a more relevant measure of operating performance and more prominent than the non-GAAP FFO, Core FFO and AFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO, Core FFO and AFFO.

NOI

The Company defines net operating income, or NOI, a non-GAAP financial measure, as rental revenue, less rental expenses, on an accrual basis.

Same Store Properties

In order to evaluate the overall portfolio, management analyzes the NOI of same store properties. The Company defines "same store properties" as properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar periods being compared and excludes properties under development, re-development, or classified as held for sale. By evaluating same store properties, management is able to monitor the operations of the Company's existing properties for comparable periods to measure the performance of the current portfolio and readily observe the expected effects of new acquisitions and dispositions on net income. There were 126 same store properties for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Cash NOI

The Company defines Cash NOI as NOI for its properties excluding the impact of GAAP adjustments to rental revenue and rental expenses, consisting of straight-line rent adjustments, net of write-offs, amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles (including ground leases) and internal property management fees, then including deferred rent received in cash. Cash NOI is used to evaluate the cash-based performance of the Company’s real estate portfolio. Same store Cash NOI is calculated to exclude non-same store Cash NOI. The Company believes that NOI and Cash NOI both serve as useful supplements to net income because they allow investors and management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare these results to the comparable results of other real estate companies on a consistent basis. The Company uses both NOI and Cash NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property-level performance of the real estate portfolio.
