Insights

Financial Analyst

Sonida Senior Living's Q2 2024 results show significant improvements across key metrics. Same-store weighted average occupancy increased 230 basis points year-over-year to 86.2%, while same-store resident revenue grew 10.0% to $5.7 million. The company's net loss narrowed by $2.4 million compared to Q2 2023.

Notably, Adjusted EBITDA surged 50.6% year-over-year to $11.4 million, indicating strong operational improvements. The company's expansion efforts, including acquiring nine communities, demonstrate a commitment to growth. However, investors should note the increase in general and administrative expenses by $2.6 million, primarily due to higher labor costs and stock-based compensation.

The company's liquidity position has improved, with $47.7 million raised through a private placement and additional funds from ATM offerings. The 2024 Loan Purchase and subsequent debt restructuring could lead to significant interest savings. Overall, these results suggest Sonida is effectively executing its growth strategy while improving its financial position.

Real Estate Investment Analyst

Sonida's Q2 2024 performance in the senior housing sector is impressive, with RevPAR increasing 11.3% year-over-year to $3,673 and RevPOR up 8.4% to $4,263. The Community Net Operating Income margin expanded to 28.2%, up from an adjusted 23.2% in Q2 2023, indicating improved operational efficiency.

The company's strategic acquisitions, including the Macedonia property and investments in joint ventures, demonstrate a focused approach to portfolio expansion. The entry into new markets and increased density in existing ones could lead to economies of scale and improved market positioning.

However, investors should monitor the impact of rising interest rates on future acquisitions and refinancing activities. The recent loan modifications and the option for a discounted payoff on certain properties suggest proactive management of the debt portfolio. The company's ability to continue raising capital through equity offerings and maintain occupancy growth will be important for sustaining its expansion strategy in the competitive senior housing market.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sonida Senior Living, Inc. (the “Company,” “Sonida,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) (NYSE: SNDA) a leading owner, operator and investor of senior housing communities, today announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“Continued momentum through focused execution on our operational, financial and strategic growth initiatives resulted in another quarter of exceptional performance. In the second quarter, revenue, community net operating income, resident rates and occupancy all exhibited meaningful and accelerating gains both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter. In addition to its strong operating performance, Sonida continued leaning into its strategic expansion goals by acquiring nine communities either outright or through joint ventures, creating further density in existing markets and entering new and attractive markets. Overall, I am encouraged by our progress in the first half of 2024, and we remain focused on providing value and care to our residents, all while advancing and strengthening the Company for our communities and stakeholders,” said Brandon Ribar, President and CEO.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2023

Revenues

Resident revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $63.1 million as compared to $57.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $6.1 million, or 10.7%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased occupancy and, to a lesser extent, increased average rent rates, and one additional owned community that was acquired in May 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received approximately $0.4 million in various relief funds received from state departments due to financial distress impacts of COVID-19 (“State Relief Funds”). For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received no State Relief Funds.

Managed community reimbursement revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $6.4 million as compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $1.0 million or 18.5%. The increase was primarily a result of managing more communities in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior period.

Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $46.0 million as compared to $44.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $1.3 million, or 2.9%. In our consolidated community portfolio, the labor component of our operating expense increased approximately $1.2 million period-over-period. The additional increase of $0.1 million was for other expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $9.2 million as compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $2.6 million. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in labor and employee related expenses of $1.0 million, a $0.6 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $0.3 million increase in transaction costs, and a net increase in other expenses of $0.7 million.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $9.0 million as compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $0.4 million primarily due to the change in fair value of our interest rate cap (“IRC”) and the ending of the Fannie Interest Abatement Period ending on May 31, 2024.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company reported net loss of $9.8 million and $12.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $11.4 million compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven primarily by continued improvement in operations. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased occupancy, one additional owned community that was acquired in May 2024, and to a lesser extent, increased average rent rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received $2.4 million in State Relief Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received no State Relief Funds.

Expenses

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $92.3 million as compared to $88.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $3.8 million, or 4.3%. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in labor over this period.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $16.4 million as compared to $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $2.8 million.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $17.6 million as compared to $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $0.2 million primarily due to the change in fair value of our IRC.

Gain on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $38.1 million. The gain relates to the derecognition of notes payable and liabilities as a result of the loan purchase from one of our lenders. Gain on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $36.3 million and related to the derecognition of notes payable and liabilities as a result of the transition of legal ownership of two communities to Fannie Mae, the holder of the related non-recourse debt.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company reported net income of $17.2 million and $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

On February 2, 2024, the Company completed the purchase of the total outstanding principal balance of $74.4 million from the lender that was secured by seven of the Company’s senior living communities for a purchase price of $40.2 million (such transaction, the “2024 Loan Purchase”). In addition to aggregate deposits of $1.5 million made in December 2023 and January 2024, the Company funded the remaining cash portion of the purchase price (including one-time closing costs) with $15.4 million of net proceeds from the sale of the shares at the first closing of the Private Placement. The Company obtained additional debt proceeds through its existing loan facility with Ally Bank for the remaining portion of the purchase price, as described below.

Cashflows

The table below presents a summary of the Company’s net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities (in thousands):

		Six Months ended June 30,
		2024				2023				$ Change
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities		$	(1,624	)		$	5,537			$	(7,161	)
Net cash used in investing activities			(42,715	)			(9,355	)			(33,360	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities			50,372				(6,304	)			56,676
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		$	6,033			$	(10,122	)		$	16,155

In addition to $9.5 million of unrestricted cash as of June 30, 2024, our future liquidity will depend in part upon our operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions, and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Principal sources of liquidity are expected to be cash flows from operations; proceeds from equity offerings; proceeds from debt, debt refinancings, loan modifications, or credit facilities; and proceeds from the sale of owned assets.

The Company, from time to time, considers and evaluates financial and capital raising transactions related to its portfolio, including debt refinancings, purchases and sales of assets, equity offerings, and other transactions. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels, or that the Company will be able to obtain the capital necessary to meet the Company’s short and long-term capital requirements.

Recent changes in the current economic environment, and other future changes, could result in decreases in the fair value of assets, slowing of transactions, and the tightening of liquidity and credit markets. These impacts could make securing debt or refinancings for the Company or buyers of the Company’s properties more difficult or on terms not acceptable to the Company. The Company’s actual liquidity and capital funding requirements depend on numerous factors, including its operating results, its capital expenditures for community investment, and general economic conditions, as well as other factors described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

This earnings release contains the financial measures (1) Community Net Operating Income and Adjusted Community Net Operating Income, (2) Community Net Operating Income Margin and Adjusted Community Net Operating Income Margin, (3) Adjusted EBITDA, (4) Revenue per Occupied Unit (RevPOR) and (5) Revenue per Available Unit (RevPAR), all of which are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to aid investors in better understanding the factors and trends affecting the Company’s performance and liquidity. However, investors should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, including net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, or revenue. Investors are cautioned that amounts presented in accordance with the Company’s definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Investors are urged to review the following reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures from the most comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

Community Net Operating Income and Community Net Operating Income Margin are non-GAAP performance measures for the Company’s consolidated owned portfolio of communities that the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding: general and administrative expenses (inclusive of stock-based compensation expense), interest income, interest expense, other income/expense, provision for income taxes, settlement fees and expenses, revenue and operating expenses from the Company’s disposed properties; and further adjusted to exclude income/expense associated with non-cash, non-operational, transactional, or organizational restructuring items that management does not consider as part of the Company’s underlying core operating performance and impacts the comparability of performance between periods. For the periods presented herein, such other items include depreciation and amortization expense, gain(loss) on extinguishment of debt, gain(loss) on disposition of assets, long-lived asset impairment, and loss on non-recurring settlements with third parties. The Community Net Operating Income Margin is calculated by dividing Community Net Operating Income by resident revenue. Adjusted Community Net Operating Income and Adjusted Community Net Operating Income Margin are further adjusted to exclude the impact from non-recurring state grant funds received.

The Company believes that presentation of Community Net Operating Income, Community Net Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Community Net Operating Income, and Adjusted Community Net Operating Income Margin as performance measures are useful to investors because (i) they are one of the metrics used by the Company’s management to evaluate the performance of our core consolidated owed portfolio of communities, to review the Company’s comparable historic and prospective core operating performance of the consolidated owned communities, and to make day-to-day operating decisions; (ii) they provide an assessment of operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely revenues and the controllable cost structure of the organization, by eliminating items related to the Company’s financing and capital structure and other items that management does not consider as part of the Company’s underlying core operating performance, and impacts the comparability of performance between periods.

Community Net Operating Income, Net Community Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Community Net Operating Income, and Adjusted Community Net Operating Income Margin have material limitations as a performance measure, including: (i) excluded general and administrative expenses are necessary to operate the Company and oversee its communities; (ii) excluded interest is necessary to operate the Company’s business under its current financing and capital structure; (iii) excluded depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges may represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of the Company’s communities, and other assets and may be indicative of future needs for capital expenditures; and (iv) the Company may incur income/expense similar to those for which adjustments are made, such as gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, gain(loss) on disposition of assets, loss on settlements, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and transaction and other costs, and such income/expense may significantly affect the Company’s operating results.

SAME-STORE NET OPERATING INCOME AND SAME-STORE NET OPERATING INCOME MARGIN (UNAUDITED)

Same-Store Net Operating Income and Same-Store Net Operating Income Margin are non-GAAP performance measures for the Company’s portfolio of 61 owned continuing communities that the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding: general and administrative expenses, interest income, interest expense, other income/expense, provision for income taxes, settlement fees and expenses, and further adjusted to exclude income/expense associated with non-cash, non-operational, transactional, or organizational restructuring items that management does not consider as part of the Company’s underlying core operating performance and that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods. For the periods presented herein, such other items include stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, long-lived asset impairment, gain on extinguishment of debt, loss from equity method investment, and other income (expense), net.

The Company believes that presentation of Same-Store Net Operating Income and Same-Store Net Operating Income Margin as performance measures are useful to investors because (i) they are one of the metrics used by the Company’s management to evaluate the performance of our core portfolio of 61 owned continuing communities, to review the Company’s comparable historic and prospective core operating performance of the 61 owned continuing communities, and to make day-to-day operating decisions; (ii) they provide an assessment of operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely revenues and the controllable cost structure of the organization, by eliminating items related to the Company’s financing and capital structure and other items that management does not consider as part of the Company’s underlying core operating performance, and that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods.

Same-Store Net Operating Income and Same-Store Net Operating Income Margin have material limitations as a performance measure, including: (i) excluded interest is necessary to operate the Company’s business under its current financing and capital structure; (ii) excluded depreciation, amortization and impairment charges may represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of the Company’s communities, and other assets and may be indicative of future needs for capital expenditures; and (iii) the Company may incur income/expense similar to those for which adjustments are made, such as gain(loss) on sale of assets, gain(loss) debt extinguishment, loss on equity method investment, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and transaction and other costs, and such income/expense may significantly affect the Company’s operating results.

ADJUSTED EBITDA (UNAUDITED)

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measures that the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding: depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, interest expense, other expense/income, provision for income taxes; and further adjusted to exclude income/expense associated with non-cash, non-operational, transactional, or organizational restructuring items that management does not consider as part of the Company’s underlying core operating performance and impacts the comparability of performance between periods. For the periods presented herein, such other items include stock-based compensation expense, provision for bad debts, gain on extinguishment of debt, gain on sale of assets, long-lived asset impairment, casualty losses, and transaction and conversion costs.

The Company believes that presentation of Adjusted EBITDA’s impact as a performance measure is useful to investors because it provides an assessment of operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely revenues and the controllable cost structure of the organization, by eliminating items related to the Company’s financing and capital structure and other items that management does not consider as part of the Company’s underlying core operating performance and that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods.

Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as a performance measure, including: (i) excluded interest is necessary to operate the Company’s business under its current financing and capital structure; (ii) excluded depreciation, amortization and impairment charges may represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of the Company’s communities and other assets and may be indicative of future needs for capital expenditures; and (iii) the Company may incur income/expense similar to those for which adjustments are made, such as bad debts, gain(loss) on sale of assets, or gain on debt extinguishment, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and transaction and other costs, and such income/expense may significantly affect the Company’s operating results.
