Insights

Sonida Senior Living's recent moves demonstrate a strategic focus on growth and financial flexibility. The acquisition of eight senior living communities for $102.9 million significantly expands their portfolio, adding 555 units in high-growth Southeastern markets. This purchase, at $185,000 per unit, represents a notable discount to replacement cost and should be accretive to the company's cap rate.

The additional agreement to acquire two Atlanta-based properties for $29 million further solidifies Sonida's regional presence. These acquisitions, totaling 17 year-to-date, showcase an aggressive growth strategy capitalizing on favorable senior housing trends.

Importantly, the upsizing of their revolving credit facility from $75 million to $150 million provides Sonida with enhanced financial flexibility to support future acquisitions and operations. This increased liquidity, combined with the strategic acquisitions, positions Sonida well for continued expansion and potential market share gains in the senior living sector.

Sonida's recent acquisitions reveal a shrewd approach to market positioning. By targeting properties in the Southeast with an average age of 5 years, significantly younger than the 19-year average in surrounding areas, Sonida is upgrading its portfolio quality. This strategy should enhance their competitive edge and potentially command higher RevPOR (Revenue Per Occupied Room).

The focus on geographic densification in high-growth markets like Jacksonville, Orlando and Atlanta is particularly noteworthy. This approach can lead to operational efficiencies and stronger regional brand recognition. The 85% occupancy rate and $6,000 average RevPOR for the eight-property portfolio indicate strong market fundamentals and revenue potential.

The purchase prices of $185,000 and $173,000 per unit for the respective acquisitions, both at significant discounts to replacement costs, suggest Sonida is making value-accretive investments. This pricing strategy could provide a buffer against market fluctuations and offer potential for appreciation as the senior housing market continues to strengthen.

Enters into agreement to acquire two new communities in Atlanta, GA for $29 million

Closes additional $75 million commitment on senior secured revolving credit facility, expanding total capacity to $150 million

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 provided an update on its recently closed acquisitions and capital markets activity.

“Both of these transactions continue our value-creating, external growth strategy that is capitalizing on historically favorable senior housing trends through geographic densification, creative deal structuring and expansion of our best-in-class operating platform,” said Brandon Ribar, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are excited about our current and active investment pipeline as well as the overall transaction environment.”

Capital Allocation – Acquired Eight-Asset Senior Housing Portfolio in the Southeast

On October 1, 2024, the Company finalized the previously announced acquisition of eight senior living communities strategically located in attractive submarkets in the Southeast. The portfolio is comprised of 555 units with Assisted Living (“AL”) and Memory Care (“MC”) offerings (approximately 70% AL and 30% MC) in northern Florida and South Carolina. The eight communities are located in high growth primary and secondary metropolitan areas with favorable growth prospects: Jacksonville, Orlando and Daytona Beach (Florida); Hilton Head, Charleston and Florence (South Carolina).

These communities will further modernize Sonida’s portfolio and densify its presence in the Southeast, which will allow Sonida to fully leverage its operating scale. The eight-asset portfolio has an attractive average asset age of five years, which compares favorably to an average asset age of 19 years for comparable inventory within a 10-mile radius.

Sonida’s purchase price of $102.9 million, or approximately $185,000 per unit, reflects a significant discount to the Company’s estimate of replacement cost. The portfolio’s in-place occupancy is approximately 85% with an average RevPOR of more than $6,000. The Company anticipates that the portfolio will be accretive to the Company’s effective cap rate going-in and following a multi-year stabilization period.

As of today, Sonida’s total operating portfolio is now comprised of 91 communities (including eight communities in which the Company owns varying interests through two separate joint ventures).

Capital Allocation – Signs Purchase Agreement to Acquire Two Atlanta-Based Properties

On October 1, 2024, the Company signed a purchase and sale agreement to acquire two senior living communities in the Atlanta, GA market for $29.0 million. Sonida intends to fund the transaction with cash on its balance sheet and proceeds from its senior secured revolving credit facility. The assets have an average age of five years and will add 178 units (106 AL and 72 MC) to Sonida’s portfolio. Consistent with the Company’s focus on regional densification, the acquisition brings Sonida’s Atlanta portfolio total to three assets and further grows its exposure to highly attractive Southeast markets. The portfolio’s in-place occupancy and average RevPOR are 86% and more than $5,700, respectively. Sonida’s purchase price is approximately $173,000 per unit, which reflects a significant discount to the Company’s estimate of replacement cost and expands Sonida’s accretive acquisitions year-to-date as the Company capitalizes on historically favorable senior housing trends.

Capital Markets – Closed Additional $75 Million on Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On October 3, 2024, the Company closed on an additional $75 million commitment under the senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) it entered with BMO Bank N.A. on July 24, 2024. The incremental $75 million availability, which was provided by the Royal Bank of Canada, results in a total aggregate commitment under the Credit Facility of up to $150 million. The Credit Facility has a term of three years, a leverage-based pricing matrix between S+210 and S+260 and is fully recourse to Sonida Senior Living, Inc. and its applicable subsidiaries.
