Revenue increased 7.1% in Q2 and 6.8% for the six-month period. Operating cash flow was $15.2 million for the first half, versus $14.5 million a year earlier. Investing used $103.4 million, primarily for $98.2 million of acquisitions and $7.9 million of capital expenditures; financing provided $102.5 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $27.9 million at June 30, with another $11.4 million restricted. Current assets were $64.2 million and current liabilities $52.8 million.
Notes payable totaled $591.0 million at June 30, up from $479.3 million at December 31, 2013. The filing identifies $525.8 million of fixed-rate and $65.2 million of variable-rate debt, plus $517.1 million in future lease obligations. The company reported compliance with debt and lease covenants.
Material changes versus prior periods
- Q2 occupancy for consolidated communities improved to 86.6% from 86.0%; same-store occupancy was 86.4% versus 86.0%. Consolidated average monthly rates rose 0.3%, but same-store rates fell 0.9%. For the first half, same-store occupancy increased 0.9%, while same-store rates declined 1.4%.
- Management attributed revenue growth mainly to acquired communities. This was partly offset by the cessation of skilled nursing services at two communities being repositioned for assisted living, and by lower same-store rental rates.
- Operating expenses and lease expense increased alongside acquisitions and wage, benefit, and other operating cost increases. Stock-based compensation also rose, partly due to accelerated vesting associated with the CFO’s retirement.
- Net loss widened substantially. Q2 included a $7.0 million charge for deferred loan-cost write-off and debt prepayment premiums, partly offset by a $1.5 million joint-venture remeasurement gain. The first-half effective tax provision also reflected a $5.4 million increase in the deferred-tax-asset valuation allowance.
Transactions, outlook, and risks
On June 30, the company acquired the remaining interests in three SHPIII/CSL joint ventures for approximately $83.6 million. It also acquired the 78-unit Aspen Grove community in March for $14.6 million. On June 27, it refinanced approximately $111.9 million of Freddie Mac debt, receiving approximately $36.5 million in cash proceeds. The refinancing included fixed-rate Fannie Mae loans and short-term, interest-only variable-rate loans; the early repayment generated approximately $6.5 million in premiums plus a $0.5 million noncash deferred-cost write-off.
After quarter-end, on August 4, the company acquired communities in Roanoke, Virginia, for $16.8 million and Oshkosh, Wisconsin, for $17.1 million, with partial Fannie Mae financing. Management provided no specific earnings or revenue guidance. It said available cash and expected operating cash flow, financings, and asset-sale proceeds should fund short-term working capital needs, while long-term capital needs may depend on access to joint ventures and debt or equity markets. Management cautioned that financing availability, acquisition opportunities and terms, economic conditions, licensing, and insurance costs could affect results. Interest-rate changes affect debt fair values; variable rates and lease escalators may affect future costs. Management expected ordinary-course claims, generally believed to be insured, not to materially affect the financial statements. Risk factors were reported as unchanged from the 2013 Form 10-K.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the filing entity: this 10-Q is Capital Senior Living Corporation, not the company name in the request metadata.
- Assess whether acquisition-driven revenue growth and occupancy gains can offset declining same-store rental rates and rising operating costs.
- Review the debt maturity and refinancing schedule, particularly the short-term variable-rate, interest-only borrowings and the company’s reliance on continued financing access.
- Evaluate the recurring earnings impact of the $7.0 million refinancing charge and the deferred-tax valuation allowance, separately from operating performance.
- Track post-quarter acquisitions, their purchase-price allocations, financing, and subsequent contribution to cash flow and results.
