Capital Senior Living Corporation — Form 10-Q Summary
Issuer note: The filing identifies the registrant as Capital Senior Living Corporation, not Sonida Senior Living, Inc. Investors should verify the issuer and filing match. The unaudited reporting period ended September 30, 2014; comparisons are with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Dollar amounts below are in millions unless stated otherwise.
Business context and financial performance
The company operated 116 senior living communities across 26 states, with capacity for approximately 15,000 residents, and one home care agency. It owned 66 communities and leased 50.
| Metric | Q3 2014 | Q3 2013 | Nine months 2014 | Nine months 2013 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $98.5 | $88.0 | $283.8 | $261.4 |
| Income from operations | $2.7 | $2.9 | $8.4 | $8.6 |
| Operating margin | 2.7% | 3.3% | 3.0% | 3.3% |
| Net loss | $(5.8) | $(10.0) | $(20.2) | $(14.1) |
| Net loss per share | $(0.20) | $(0.35) | $(0.70) | $(0.49) |
- For the nine months, operating cash flow was $35.1, investing cash use was $156.3, and financing cash inflow was $135.4. Cash and cash equivalents ended the period at $27.8, up from $13.6 at year-end 2013; restricted cash was a further $11.5.
- At September 30, total assets were $879.8, notes payable were $624.9, and shareholders’ equity was $143.5. Current assets of $64.8 were below current liabilities of $90.2; current notes payable were $37.6. Future lease obligations were $507.6.
- Occupancy in consolidated communities was 87.2% for Q3 and 87.6% for the first nine months, versus 85.8% and 86.4% in the comparable periods. Average monthly rental rates increased 1.4% in Q3 and 2.0% year to date.
Material changes and notable transactions
- Revenue increased 11.9% in Q3 and 8.5% year to date, mainly from acquired communities. Same-store occupancy improved, while average rental rates at same-store communities declined 0.9% in Q3 and 0.6% year to date. The company also cited revenue reductions from discontinuing skilled nursing services at two communities being repositioned for assisted living.
- Expenses rose 12.6% in Q3 and 8.9% year to date. Acquisitions increased operating costs and depreciation; higher wages, benefits, rent escalations, and stock compensation also contributed. Operating income and margins declined modestly despite revenue growth.
- 2014 acquisitions included Aspen Grove and three communities acquired in August, as well as the June purchase of the remaining interests in three joint ventures for approximately $83.6. Cash paid for acquisitions totaled $145.6 for the first nine months. Acquisition purchase accounting remained preliminary.
- A June refinancing replaced approximately $111.9 of Freddie Mac mortgage debt with new loans, including fixed-rate Fannie Mae debt and short-term variable-rate interim financing. It generated approximately $36.5 in cash proceeds but resulted in a $6.5 prepayment premium and a $0.5 write-off of deferred financing costs.
Debt, liquidity, outlook, and risks
- Outstanding debt included $559.7 of fixed-rate and $65.2 of variable-rate instruments. Management estimated that a one-percentage-point rate increase would add approximately $0.7 to annual interest expense. Variable-rate exposure and interim, interest-only borrowings are notable refinancing and cost risks.
- Management said available cash and expected operating cash flow, supplemental financings, refinancings, and asset-sale proceeds should fund short-term working-capital needs. Longer-term capital needs, including acquisitions, may depend on access to joint ventures and debt or equity markets. The filing provides no specific earnings or revenue guidance and cautions that actual results may differ materially from forward-looking statements.
- The company recorded a $2.1 increase to its deferred-tax valuation allowance in Q3 2014; the allowance was $16.3 at September 30. The Texas Margin Tax, permanent tax differences, and valuation allowances affect reported taxes. The nine-month loss also included the refinancing charge, partly offset by a $1.5 gain on remeasuring previously held joint-venture interests.
- Management reported compliance with debt and lease covenants and effective disclosure controls. It said ordinary-course claims, many believed insured, were not expected to have a material effect if resolved adversely; no material risk-factor changes from the 2013 Form 10-K were reported.
Investor verification points
- Confirm that this Capital Senior Living filing is the intended filing for the requested Sonida Senior Living issuer.
- Assess whether acquisition-driven revenue growth and occupancy gains are translating into durable same-store pricing, operating income, and cash flow.
- Review debt maturities, interim variable-rate and interest-only loans, refinancing requirements, collateral, and the $507.6 of future lease obligations.
- Check acquisition integration and final purchase-accounting adjustments, and the effect of skilled-nursing transitions and accelerated lease-intangible amortization.
- Evaluate deferred-tax asset recoverability, future valuation-allowance changes, and the availability of capital for longer-term requirements.
