- Q3 revenue fell 1.4%; operating margin was 1.5%, versus 3.8% a year earlier. Net loss margin widened to 9.6% from 6.9%.
- Nine-month revenue declined 1.5%. Operating margin improved to 3.2% from a loss margin of 0.1%; net loss narrowed, partly because 2017 included a $12.9m facility lease termination loss.
- Nine-month operating cash flow declined approximately 36%. Investing used $17.9m, primarily for $18.0m of capital expenditures; financing used $17.2m. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $8.3m.
- At September 30, cash and equivalents were $9.2m and restricted cash was $13.5m. Current assets of $51.9m were below current liabilities of $84.0m. Notes payable, excluding deferred loan costs, were $952.2m; the company also reported $50.0m of capital lease and financing obligations and $396.5m of future facility lease obligations.
- Mortgage debt secured properties with a net book value of $976.9m. Debt fair value was estimated at $855.5m versus $952.2m carrying amount. The company reported compliance with debt and lease covenants.
Changes, outlook and risks
- Management attributed the revenue decline principally to Hurricane Harvey’s effects on two Texas communities and lower occupancy elsewhere. The affected communities reopened and began accepting residents in July 2018. Excluding them, Q3 financial occupancy was 85.4%, down from 86.7%; average monthly rental rates rose 0.6%.
- Harvey-related unoccupied units reduced Q3 revenue by approximately $0.8m; other communities contributed a further $0.9m decline. For the first nine months, the two affected communities reduced revenue by approximately $5.5m. The company had incurred $6.6m in cleanup and repairs and said most costs were expected to be recovered through insurance. It received $7.3m in insurance payments during the nine months, including $4.5m for business interruption.
- Q3 operating expenses rose, including labor, bad-debt provision and marketing costs. Management cited procurement initiatives as reducing food costs. Interest expense increased year over year, mainly due to additional mortgage debt.
- The company extended a Canton, Ohio mortgage to October 2021 at an initial variable rate of LIBOR plus 5.0%. It reported $76.3m of variable-rate debt; a one-percentage-point rate increase would raise annual interest expense by approximately $0.8m.
- Management expected available cash, operating cash flows and potential financing or asset-sale proceeds to cover short-term working capital needs, but said long-term capital needs could depend on access to joint ventures and debt or equity markets. No quantified earnings or revenue guidance was provided.
- In July 2018, the IRS proposed approximately $2.1m of ACA employer-payment assessments for 2015. The company preliminarily estimated its liability at $0.2m, accrued that amount and sought revision; the outcome was uncertain.
- Other notable matters: a $6.3m deferred-tax valuation allowance adjustment for the first nine months; management expected the new lease-accounting standard to materially affect the balance sheet; and management said disclosure controls were effective. No material risk-factor changes were reported.
Investor verification points
- Confirm the filing’s registrant identity relative to the requested company name.
- Track occupancy, rental-rate trends and the pace of recovery at the two Harvey-affected communities.
- Assess liquidity against near-term obligations, refinancing needs, capital spending and substantial debt and lease commitments.
- Monitor insurance recoveries and the final IRS assessment, and verify whether covenant compliance and financing access continue.
- Separate recurring operating trends from prior-year one-time lease-termination costs when comparing results.
