• Continued to work closely with operators as they adapted their operating strategies to promote leasing activity and manage operating expenses while remaining focused on maintaining a safe environment for residents and associates

Susan Givens, President & Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, “Our operators continued to battle the impact of COVID-19 during the quarter, diligently working to ensure the safety and wellness of our residents and associates. As always, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our operators and the associates at our communities who continue to serve our residents and display unwavering leadership and commitment throughout these challenging times.”

Givens continued, “While the pandemic continues to have a significant impact on our business, we remain encouraged by attributes specific to our Independent Living communities which we believe have resulted in lower occupancy losses and have allowed our operators to tightly manage operating expenses. During the third quarter, we saw a significant improvement in our occupancy trend as compared to the second quarter as a result of a strong rebound in leads and move-in volume. Additionally, our operators achieved ongoing expense reductions which have helped offset the occupancy declines we have experienced. As a result, for the third quarter 2020, we delivered financial results that were at the top end of expectations provided last quarter. Based on third quarter results and the recent trends we have observed in our portfolio in the fourth quarter, I am pleased to be able to raise our expectations for full year 2020 AFFO per share.”

COVID-19 IMPACT ON THE COMPANY

The third quarter 2020 continued to see the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results. We have outlined our observations of the impact on our results to date and potential future implications below:

Overview

As of September 30, 2020, we owned a portfolio of 102 Independent Living (“IL”) properties and one Continuing Care Retirement Community (“CCRC”). We have approximately 10,000 residents across our 103 properties, which are managed by three different operators and one tenant.

Status of Our Properties

• All of our properties have remained open and operational since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic
• During the second quarter 2020, our operators began lifting some of the restrictions in a phased approach, based on the status of state and local regulations that affect the property as well as the status of any COVID-19 cases at the property
• Due to the length and evolving nature of the pandemic, all of our properties continue to operate in an environment with modified protocols. Our operators remain focused on maximizing resident socialization and engagement in an effort to maintain the physical health and mental and emotional wellbeing of our residents
• However, the ongoing operator protocols, which continue to prioritize recommended CDC protocols such as social distancing and limited social gatherings, do require that all of our properties continue to operate with more restrictions than the pre-pandemic operating environment

Known Cases

• As of October 28, 2020, our operators reported 41 active cases across 14 properties (34 residents and 7 associates)
  • Of the 14 properties, only 3 have reported more than 3 cases
• To date, 67 total properties (65% of our portfolio) have reported at least one resident or associate case
• 35% of the properties in our portfolio have not reported a single resident or associate case to date

• Occupancy trends for the third quarter 2020:
  • Ending occupancy fell by 160bps in the third quarter 2020 versus the second quarter 2020, an improvement from the sequential decline of 250bps in the second quarter 2020
  • Leads increased 31% versus the second quarter 2020; September leads increased 67% versus April low point and decreased only 3% versus prior year
  • Move-ins increased 47% versus the second quarter 2020: September move-ins increased 106% versus April low point and decreased only 1% versus prior year
  • Move-outs increased 20% versus the second quarter 2020; September move-outs increased 27% from April low point and increased 8% versus prior year
• October 2020 outlook:
  • October leads expected to increase both month-over-month and year-over-year
  • October occupancy pacing to decline 40bps month-over-month, which would be the lowest monthly occupancy decline since the start of the pandemic

Expenses

• While operating expenses increased at the outset of the pandemic due to incremental COVID-19 costs, our operators have been able to successfully offset those costs by reducing occupancy-related and other controllable expenses
  • In the third quarter 2020, operating expenses decreased 1.4% versus the third quarter 2019, and decreased 3.0% excluding COVID-19 expenses driven by reduced spend on supplies, maintenance and other controllable items
  • Operating expenses associated with COVID-19 were approximately $0.8 million, or less than 2% of total expenses. These expenses were down 43% in the third quarter 2020 as compared to the second quarter 2020 as our operators implemented new strategies to reduce costs

NOI & AFFO

		1Q 2020		2Q 2020		3Q 2020		YTD 2020
Total Same Store Cash NOI YoY		0.1%		(3.1%)		(7.6%)		(3.6%)
AFFO Per Share		$0.17		$0.19		$0.17		$0.53

• In the third quarter 2020, total same store cash NOI decreased by 7.6% versus the third quarter 2019. Our operators continued to successfully implement expense reductions to help offset occupancy declines
• AFFO for the third quarter 2020 was $0.17 per share, a decrease of $0.02 per share versus the second quarter 2020 and flat versus the third quarter 2019. NOI declines due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be offset by interest expense savings due to the decline in LIBOR
• Year-to-date, total same store cash NOI decreased by 3.6% versus the same period of 2019; and year-to-date AFFO was $0.53 per share, an increase of $0.04 per share versus the same period of 2019
• As of September 30, 2020, including the effect of the newly executed swap, 28% of the Company’s debt is floating rate debt and subject to fluctuations in LIBOR. Average one-month LIBOR declined from 50bps in the second quarter 2020 to 16bps in the third quarter 2020, reducing our interest expense by approximately $1 million. The interest savings offset some of the same store cash NOI decline resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic

FULL YEAR 2020 EXPECTATIONS

Based on the Company’s financial results to date, as well as the observations and trends discussed above in “COVID-19 Impact on the Company,” New Senior is updating its full year 2020 expectations for total same store cash NOI and AFFO per share as follows:

		Full Year 2020 Expectations
		Low		High
Total Same Store Cash NOI YoY (Includes NNN Lease)		(6.0%)	-	(4.0%)
AFFO Per Share		$0.69	-	$0.72

The estimates above are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside of the Company’s control. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company’s expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results. A reconciliation of the Company’s expectations to its projected GAAP measures is included in this press release.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL STRUCTURE

• The Company has taken, and continues to take, actions to enhance and preserve liquidity in response to COVID-19
  • Shortly after the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, and purely as a precaution, the Company drew $100 million on its revolving credit facility. Since that time, the Company has paid down the outstanding borrowings, and the Company ended the third quarter 2020 with total available liquidity of approximately $160 million
  • In the third quarter 2020, the Company executed a $270 million interest rate swap, effectively converting floating rate debt to fixed rate debt and increasing fixed rate exposure from 52% to 72%. The swap further improves the Company’s capital structure and reduces earnings volatility due to fluctuations in interest rates
  • The Company suspended all discretionary capital expenditure projects in the second quarter 2020, which significantly reduced capital expenditure spend. While the Company re-started select projects in the third quarter 2020, total discretionary capital expenditure spend will be significantly lower in 2020 than originally expected. The Company expects to continue spending on discretionary capital expenditure projects going forward, where such projects can be completed safely
  • As a result of several initiatives completed in 2019 and 2020, as well as the actions listed above, the Company has materially improved its cash flow profile and balance sheet

(A) Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average basic shares exclude 454,921 and 754,594 restricted stock awards, net of forfeitures, as of September 30, 2020 and 2019 respectively, as those shares were issued but were not vested and therefore, not considered outstanding for purposes of computing basic income (loss) per share. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents during each period.

(B) Dilutive share equivalents and options were excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive given our loss position.

ROUNDING

Throughout this Press Release, totals and subtotals of certain tables may not sum due to rounding.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The tables above set forth reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

A non-GAAP financial measure is a measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not excluded from or included in the most comparable GAAP measure. We consider certain non-GAAP financial measures to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. GAAP accounting for real estate assets assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, even though real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, many industry investors look to non-GAAP financial measures for supplemental information about real estate companies.

You should not consider non-GAAP measures as alternatives to GAAP net (loss) income, which is an indicator of our financial performance, or as alternatives to GAAP cash flow from operating activities, which is a liquidity measure, nor are non-GAAP measures necessarily indicative of our ability to satisfy our funding requirements. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, you should examine our non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP net (loss) income as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this press release. Moreover, the comparability of non-GAAP financial measures across companies may be limited as a result of differences in the manner in which real estate companies calculate such measures, the capital structure of such companies or other factors.

Below is a description of the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein.

NOI, Cash NOI and Cash Interest Expense

The Company evaluates the performance of each of its three business segments based on NOI. The Company defines NOI as total revenues less property-level operating expenses, which include property management fees and travel cost reimbursements. The sum of the NOI for each segment is total NOI, which the Company uses to evaluate the aggregate performance of its segments. The Company defines Cash NOI as NOI excluding the effects of straight-line rent, amortization of above / below market lease intangibles and amortization of deferred community fees and other, which includes the net change in deferred community fees and other rent discounts or incentives. We believe that NOI and Cash NOI serve as useful supplemental measures to net income because they allow investors, analysts and management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare our operating results between periods and to the operating results of other real estate companies on a consistent basis.

Same store NOI and same store cash NOI include only properties owned for the entirety of comparable periods. Properties acquired, sold, transitioned to other operators or between segments, or classified as held for sale or discontinued operations during the comparable periods are excluded from the same store amounts. Please see the Company’s most recent quarterly report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information.

Cash interest expense is defined as interest expense excluding the amortization of deferred financing costs and includes the interest expense on debt repaid upon the sale of the AL/MC portfolio (classified as discontinued operations).

FFO and Other Non-GAAP Measures

We use Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Normalized FFO as supplemental measures of our operating performance. We use the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") definition of FFO. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, which includes loss from discontinued operations, excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciable real estate assets and impairment charges of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO does not account for debt principal payments and is not intended as a measure of a REIT’s ability to satisfy such payments or any other cash requirements.

Normalized FFO, as defined below, measures the financial performance of our portfolio of assets excluding items that, although incidental to, are not reflective of the day-to-day operating performance of our portfolio of assets. We believe that Normalized FFO is useful because it facilitates the evaluation of our portfolio’s operating performance (i) between periods on a consistent basis and (ii) to the operating performance of other real estate companies. However, comparability may be limited because our calculation of Normalized FFO may differ significantly from that of other companies or because of features of our business that are not present in other companies.

We define Normalized FFO as FFO excluding the following income and expense items, as applicable: (a) acquisition, transaction and integration related expenses; (b) the write off of unamortized discounts, premiums, deferred financing costs, or additional costs, make whole payments and penalties or premiums incurred as the result of early repayment of debt (collectively “Gain (Loss) on extinguishment of debt”); (c) incentive compensation to affiliate recognized as a result of sales of real estate; (d) the remeasurement of deferred tax assets; (e) valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, net; (f) termination fee to the affiliate; (g) gain on lease termination; (h) compensation expense related to transition awards; (i) litigation proceeds; and (j) other items that we believe are not indicative of operating performance, generally reported as “Other expense (income)” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We also use Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) and Normalized FAD as supplemental measures of our operating performance. We believe AFFO is useful because it facilitates the evaluation of (i) the current economic return on our portfolio of assets between periods on a consistent basis and (ii) our portfolio versus those of other real estate companies that report AFFO. However, comparability may be limited because our calculation of AFFO may differ significantly from that of other companies, or because of features of our business that are not present in other companies.

We define AFFO as Normalized FFO excluding the impact of the following: (a) straight-line rents; (b) amortization of above / below market lease intangibles; (c) amortization of deferred financing costs; (d) amortization of premium or discount on mortgage notes payable; (e) amortization of deferred community fees and other, which includes the net change in deferred community fees and other rent discounts or incentives, and (f) amortization of equity-based compensation expense.

We define Normalized FAD as AFFO less routine capital expenditures, which we view as a cost associated with the current economic return. Normalized FAD, which does not reflect debt principal payments and certain other expenses, does not represent cash available for distribution to shareholders. We believe Normalized FAD is useful because it fully reflects the additional economic costs of maintaining the condition of the portfolio.
