Insights

This acquisition marks a significant expansion for Sonida, with the $103 million purchase of 8 senior housing assets adding 555 units to their portfolio. The deal's $185,000 per unit cost represents a substantial discount to replacement value, potentially indicating a favorable purchase price. With an average asset age of 5 years compared to 19 years for nearby competitors, these newer facilities could command premium pricing and lower maintenance costs.

The portfolio's current 83% occupancy and $6,000 average RevPOR (Revenue Per Occupied Room) suggest room for growth. If Sonida can leverage its operating expertise to improve occupancy and margins, this acquisition could significantly boost the company's revenue and profitability. However, investors should monitor integration costs and the timeline for realizing these potential synergies.

Sonida's strategic focus on the Southeast, particularly Florida and South Carolina, aligns with favorable demographic trends. These regions are experiencing population growth, especially among retirees, which bodes well for senior housing demand. The targeted submarkets of Jacksonville, Orlando, Daytona Beach, Hilton Head, Charleston and Florence are a mix of primary and secondary markets, offering both stability and growth potential.

The acquisition's emphasis on Assisted Living and Memory Care is noteworthy, as these segments typically command higher margins than independent living. With new supply growth mentioned, Sonida may face less competitive pressure, potentially supporting occupancy and rate increases. However, investors should be aware that local market dynamics can vary and success will depend on Sonida's ability to effectively operate in these specific submarkets.

Portfolio will continue to strengthen Sonida’s asset mix with the addition of newer vintage, high-quality real estate at significant discounts to replacement cost

Solidifies presence in the Southeast in submarkets with strong demographic tailwinds and limited supply growth

New planned acquisition, combined with recently closed acquisitions, will total 17 communities added to Sonida’s owned senior living portfolio in 2024

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sonida Senior Living, Inc. (“Sonida” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SNDA), a leading owner, operator and investor in communities and services for seniors, today announced that the Company is under contract to acquire eight senior living communities strategically located in attractive submarkets within the Southeast. This transaction further densifies the Company’s footprint in northern Florida and South Carolina and creates operating efficiencies given the meaningful regional scale. The transaction includes 555 units with Assisted Living and Memory Care offerings.

“With Sonida’s multi-faceted sourcing channels, we continue to identify accretive investment opportunities and firmly execute on our focused external growth strategy,” said Brandon Ribar, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With this planned acquisition, Sonida will further broaden its high-quality and regionally-focused real estate portfolio with newer vintage communities in mid-to-large metropolitan areas with favorable growth prospects. By successfully integrating Sonida’s best-in-class operating platform into these communities, and with occupancy growth, ongoing rent rate improvement and effective expense management, these investments can ultimately generate meaningful value creation for our shareholders.”

The eight communities are located primarily in high growth primary and secondary metropolitan areas: Jacksonville, Orlando and Daytona Beach (Florida); Hilton Head, Charleston and Florence (South Carolina). The portfolio follows Sonida’s acquisition strategy, which aims to further upgrade and modernize its portfolio through densification across its current geographic footprint to fully leverage operating scale and efficiencies. The portfolio, with an attractive average asset age of 5 years, compares to an average asset age of 19 years when looking at comparable inventory within a 10-mile radius. The purchase price of $103 million, or $185k per unit, reflects a significant discount to the Company’s estimate of replacement cost.

The portfolio’s in-place occupancy is approximately 83% with an average RevPOR of more than $6,000. The Company anticipates that multi-year stabilization of net operating income margin should result in an accretive effective cap rate.

As of today, Sonida’s total operating portfolio is comprised of 83 communities, inclusive of a new management contract that closed in August. Upon the closing of this acquisition, which is targeted for late Q3 or early Q4, Sonida’s total operating portfolio will grow to 91 communities.
