Financial Analyst

The Q3 2024 results show meaningful operational improvements with several positive indicators. Same-store revenue increased 6.6% year-over-year to $66.9 million, while occupancy rose 210 basis points to 87.0%. The company reduced its net loss by $4.6 million compared to Q3 2023.

Significant portfolio expansion through acquisitions has increased the company size by 30% in just six months. The strategic moves include $130.4 million equity raise, a new $150 million credit facility and notable acquisitions including an eight-property portfolio for $102.9 million.

Key concerns include rising interest expenses and increased operating costs, though these are offset by improved revenue performance. The debt restructuring efforts, including the 36% discounted payoff of $28.4 million in legacy debt, demonstrate proactive financial management.

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 third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“Sonida’s emphasis on its results-driven operational, financial and capital allocation strategies yielded another quarter of meaningful performance and portfolio expansion. Same-store revenue, community net operating income, resident rates and occupancy demonstrated continuing gains year-over-year. On the external growth front, we have expanded our portfolio by 30% in just the last six months by acquiring 19 senior living communities (including 10 in the fourth quarter), either outright or through joint ventures and adding three additional communities under third party management agreements. We are poised to deliver further growth and margin expansion as we balance the ongoing improvement in our same store portfolio and drive accelerated revenue and margin recovery in our newly acquired communities. The combination of our operating platform, capital availability and robust pipeline of growth opportunities positions Sonida to continue our multi-year growth trajectory,” said Brandon Ribar, President and CEO.

Subsequent Event Highlights

Fannie Mae Loan Extension

In October 2024, the Company agreed to terms in principle with Fannie Mae subject to definitive documentation to extend the maturities on 18 individual mortgages (representing $220.1 million of debt outstanding as of September 30, 2024) from December 1, 2026 to January 1, 2029. As part of the proposed modification, the Company tentatively agreed to $10.0 million in additional, scheduled principal paydowns through the revised maturity.

Palm Acquisition

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). 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. At close, the portfolio’s in-place occupancy was approximately 85% with an average RevPOR of more than $6,000.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On October 3, 2024, the Company closed on the additional $75.0 million commitment under the Credit Facility. The incremental $75.0 million availability results in a total aggregate commitment under the Credit Facility of up to $150.0 million. In addition to the two existing senior living communities, the eight Palm Communities secure the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility.

On October 30, 2024, the Company drew down $60.0 million under the Credit Facility in anticipation of the closing of the Atlanta PSA (as defined below), the Texas DPO (as defined below) and liquidity for general corporate purposes.

Texas DPO

On November 1, 2024, the Company exercised its option to make a discounted payoff (“Texas DPO”) of the outstanding loan principal for two communities located in Texas. The Texas DPO amount of $18.3 million represents a discount of 36% on the total principal outstanding of $28.4 million (as of November 1, 2024). The Texas DPO represents the last material restructuring of the Company’s legacy debt portfolio, with 58 of 60 loans having been addressed over the past 12 months.

Atlanta Acquisition

On October 2, 2024, the Company signed a purchase and sale agreement (“Atlanta PSA”) to acquire two senior living communities in the Atlanta, GA market for $29.0 million. The assets have an average age of five years and will add 178 units (106 AL and 72 MC) to Sonida’s portfolio. Sonida’s purchase price is approximately $173,000 per unit, which reflects a significant discount to the Company’s estimate of replacement cost. On November 1, 2024, the Company finalized the acquisition of these two senior living communities with in-place occupancy and average RevPOR of 86% and more than $5,700, respectively.

Results of Operations

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

Revenues

Resident revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $67.0 million as compared to $59.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $7.9 million, or 13.4%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased occupancy, increased average rent rates, and five additional communities acquired during 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received approximately $0.5 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 September 30, 2024, the Company did not receive any State Relief Funds.

Managed community reimbursement revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $6.6 million as compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $1.6 million, or 32.0%. The increase was primarily a result of managing more communities in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior period.

Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $50.5 million as compared to $44.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $6.0 million, or 13.5%. The increase was attributable to an increase of $3.6 million in operating expenses related to the additional communities acquired and managed during 2024 versus the prior year and an increase of $2.4 million in operating expenses related to our same-store portfolio, driven by $0.8 million increases in labor and $1.6 million increases in other operating expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $11.8 million as compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $3.2 million. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in labor and employee related expenses of $1.6 million due to the additional communities acquired and managed during 2024, a $0.8 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $0.5 million increase in transaction costs, and a net increase in other expenses of $0.3 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $6.0 million related to one owned community as a result of recurring net operating losses.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $9.8 million as compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $0.8 million, primarily due to the change in fair value of our interest rate cap (“IRC”) and the ending of the Fannie Interest Abatement Period on May 31, 2024.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company reported net loss attributable to Sonida stockholders of $13.8 million and $18.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $10.1 million compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Revenues

Resident revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $190.8 million as compared to $172.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $18.1 million, or 10.5%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased occupancy, increased average rent rates, and five additional communities acquired during 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received $2.9 million in State Relief Funds. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not receive any State Relief Funds.

Managed community reimbursement revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $19.1 million as compared to $15.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $3.8 million, or 24.8%.

Expenses

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $142.8 million as compared to $133.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $9.8 million, or 7.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in labor of $6.9 million and an increase in other expenses of $2.9 million as a result of the five new consolidated communities this period as compared to the prior period.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $28.2 million as compared to $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $5.9 million. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in labor and employee related expenses of $3.2 million, an increase in stock-based compensation of $1.1 million, an increase in transaction costs of $0.8 million, and a net increase in other expenses of $0.8 million. The main driver of the increases were the additional expenses related to five new consolidated communities this period as compared to the prior period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $6.0 million related to one owned community as a result of recurring net operating losses.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $27.4 million as compared to $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $1.0 million, primarily due to the change in fair value of our IRC.

Gain on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 formerly owned communities to Fannie Mae, the holder of the related non-recourse debt.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company reported net income attributable to Sonida stockholders of $3.4 million and net loss attributable to Sonida stockholders of $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At-the-Market Sales

On April 1, 2024, the Company entered into the At-the-Market sales agreement (“ATM Sales Agreement”), whereby the Company may sell, at its option, shares of its common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $75.0 million. On July 1, 2024, the Company sold 51,127 shares pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement at an average sales price of $27.50 per share for net proceeds of $1.3 million, inclusive of $0.2 million in commissions and offering costs.

Public Offering

In August 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement providing for the offer and sale (the “Offering”) by the Company, and the purchase by the underwriters, of 4,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (par value $0.1 per share), at a price to the public of $27.00 per share ($25.785 per share net of underwriting discounts and commissions). The Company also granted a 30-day option to the underwriters to purchase up to an additional 645,000 shares of common stock on the same terms as above.

During August 2024, the Company raised $130.4 million in gross proceeds from the Offering. The Company initially raised $110.4 million of proceeds on the sale of 4,300,000 shares, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs. The Company raised an additional $13.7 million of proceeds on the sale of 530,317 shares, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, due to the 30-day option.

Credit Facility

On October 3, 2024, the Company closed on an additional $75 million commitment under the Credit Facility. The incremental $75 million availability 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 and its applicable subsidiaries. On October 30, 2024, the Company drew down $60.0 million under its Credit Facility in anticipation of the closing of the Atlanta PSA, the Texas DPO and liquidity for general corporate purposes.

Cash Flows

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

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2024				2023			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	1,355			$	10,643			$	(9,288	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(154,126	)			(12,792	)			(141,334	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		178,809				(7,441	)			186,250
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	26,038			$	(9,590	)		$	35,628

In addition to $24.9 million of unrestricted cash as of September 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 financing and 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.
