- Q2 operating margin was approximately 3.6%, compared with 3.4% a year earlier; net margin was approximately negative 5.1%, compared with negative 10.5%. For the six-month periods, operating margin was approximately 3.7% versus 3.1%, and net margin was negative 5.6% versus negative 7.8%.
- Six-month investing cash outflow was $52.4, including $74.7 for acquisitions and $13.5 of capital expenditures, partly offset by $35.8 of asset-sale proceeds. Financing provided $34.3; cash increased by $0.2 to $39.4. Operating cash flow less capital expenditures was approximately $4.8.
- At June 30, cash was $39.4 and restricted cash $12.3. Current assets were $75.5 and current liabilities $71.4, implying working capital of about $4.2.
- Notes payable totaled $683.2 carrying value ($661.2 fair value); $662.9 was fixed-rate and $20.3 variable-rate debt. Net notes payable increased from $631.5 at year-end 2014. The company also reported $39.6 of capital lease and financing obligations and $509.1 of future facility lease obligations.
- Total assets were $922.0 and shareholders’ equity $134.5 at June 30, 2015.
Material changes versus prior comparable periods
- Q2 revenue rose 8.7% and six-month revenue rose 8.1%, primarily from communities acquired since the comparable 2014 periods. Same-store Q2 occupancy increased to 87.4% from 86.7%, while same-store average monthly rental rates increased 3.2%. Across consolidated communities, Q2 occupancy was 87.7%, up from 86.7%, and rental rates rose 4.3%.
- Operating income improved, but expenses also rose with the expanded portfolio. Depreciation and amortization, operating costs, and interest expense increased; acquisitions were a principal driver. Facility lease expense increased partly due to contractual rent escalations.
- Net losses narrowed. The 2014 comparison included a $7.0 charge for deferred loan cost write-offs and prepayment premiums, partly offset by a $1.5 joint venture valuation gain. These prior-period items affected the year-over-year comparison.
- In 2015 the company acquired five communities for a combined approximately $74.7 in cash consideration and sold four communities for approximately $36.5 gross proceeds, receiving about $35.7 net. Acquisitions were financed partly with new mortgage debt.
Outlook, risks, contingencies, and unusual items
- No specific earnings, revenue, occupancy, or cash-flow guidance was provided. Management expected available cash, operating cash flows, supplemental financings, refinancings, and asset-sale proceeds to fund short-term working-capital needs. Long-term capital needs, particularly acquisitions and other initiatives, may depend on access to joint ventures and debt or equity markets; management cautioned that access and future cash generation are not assured.
- Risk factors highlighted include acquisition availability and terms, financing access, licensing and closing conditions, economic downturns, insurance availability and cost, and accounting changes. Management reported no material change in risk factors from its 2014 Form 10-K.
- Interest-rate exposure: a one-percentage-point rise in rates was estimated to increase annual interest expense by about $0.2 based on variable-rate debt outstanding. Lease costs may also rise under contingent escalation provisions.
- A $21.6 variable-rate interim loan was refinanced into fixed-rate debt in March 2015; other new 2015 acquisition and refinancing mortgages carried fixed rates ranging from 3.55% to 4.79%. Some early debt repayments resulted in fees and accelerated financing-cost amortization.
- The company increased its deferred-tax valuation allowance by $1.9 in Q2 and $4.4 in the first half; the total allowance was $21.6 at June 30. This reflects uncertainty about realization of deferred tax assets.
- Management said ordinary-course claims were generally believed to be insured and not expected to materially affect the financial statements if resolved adversely. Lease covenants were reported in compliance, as were disclosure controls; no material internal-control changes were reported.
- After quarter-end, the company acquired a Columbiana, Ohio community for approximately $13.3 on July 28, financed with approximately $9.9 of fixed-rate debt at 4.25% and cash for the balance.
Most important facts for investors to verify

- Assess whether acquisition-led revenue growth and occupancy/rate gains translate into sustainable operating cash flow and improved profitability.
- Review debt maturities, collateral, refinancing needs, and lease obligations alongside the narrow working-capital position and reliance on financing and asset sales.

- Track realization of deferred tax assets, valuation-allowance changes, and any developments in insured or uninsured claims.
