CareTrust REIT Announces Second Quarter 2020 Operating Results

Conference Call Scheduled for Friday, August 7, 2020 at 1:00 pm ET

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., August 6, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareTrust REIT, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTRE) today reported operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, as well as other recent events.

For the quarter, CareTrust REIT reported:

•Net income of $18.9 million and net income per diluted weighted-average common share of $0.20;

•Normalized FFO of $32.1 million and normalized FFO per diluted weighted-average common share of $0.34;

•Normalized FAD of $33.6 million and normalized FAD per diluted weighted-average common share of $0.35; and

•A net debt-to-normalized EBITDA ratio of 3.2x, and a net debt-to-enterprise value of 23.1%, each as of quarter-end.

Making Progress Against the Pandemic

“We continue to be extremely impressed by the earnest and effective efforts of our tenants and their care staffs to battle the pandemic in their communities," said Greg Stapley, CareTrust's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. He noted that several CareTrust facilities are contributing to the fight by accepting and treating COVID patients in tightly-controlled environments, taking pressure off of local hospitals and other skilled nursing facilities that are less equipped to handle them, while keeping their own operations performing at high levels. “We are all extremely grateful for the government support received to date by our skilled nursing providers that has made this possible, and we hope that the next round of relief funding will include their counterparts in seniors housing, who are also doing a tremendous job,” he added.

Mr. Stapley also lauded the federal government’s announced plan to deliver rapid-results point-of-care testing devices to all skilled nursing facilities over the coming weeks. Calling it the most significant milestone in the COVID-19 response to date, he said, “Not being able to determine who is contagious has been the biggest obstacle to effective infection control from the beginning, so the value of point-of-care testing in saving lives cannot be overstated.” Several CareTrust facilities are near the top of the recently-released distribution list.

He reported that while overall occupancy in the Company’s skilled nursing portfolio has declined, the percentage of higher-margin skilled patients has climbed markedly. “The increase in skilled mix is helping to backfill the revenue and expense impacts of lower overall occupancy and higher operating costs associated with the COVID response,” he said. He also noted that government relief funding had been critical for most operators. “Together, these measures have given our skilled nursing tenants the runway they’ve needed so far, and we expect them to remain healthy for the foreseeable future,” he added.

He also stated that, although seniors housing occupancy nationwide had reportedly declined in the quarter, occupancy at CareTrust’s seniors housing facilities had held steady through July. He noted that CareTrust collected 99.5% of contract rents in the second quarter, 98.7% in July, and expects a similar result in August.

“As tenant operating data continues to roll in, we are getting a clearer picture on everything from census to expenses to the impact of relief measures,” said Mr. Stapley. “It’s still too early to predict how long the present emergency will last or how far the relief funds will go, but the outstanding performance of our dedicated operators to date informs our cautiously optimistic outlook,” he concluded.

Financial Results for Quarter Ended June 30, 2020

Chief Financial Officer Bill Wagner reported that, for the second quarter, CareTrust generated net income of $18.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted weighted-average common share, normalized FFO of $32.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted weighted-average common share, and normalized FAD of $33.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted weighted-average common share. “We are pleased to be keeping earnings on track in the midst of an extended national emergency, while simultaneously maintaining industry-low leverage and positioning CareTrust for future growth,” said Mr. Wagner.

As of quarter end, CareTrust reported net debt-to-normalized EBITDA of approximately 3.2x and net debt-to-enterprise value of approximately 23.1%. Mr. Wagner stated that at quarter-end the Company had no borrowings outstanding on its $600 million revolving credit line, and no scheduled debt maturities prior to 2024. He also disclosed that CareTrust currently has more than $20 million in cash on hand.

He also noted that the Company’s at-the-market equity program has $500 million in authorization available, allowing the Company to raise additional capital in the equity markets if needed. “With that, plus our undrawn revolver and cash on hand, and with our current debt levels well under our target leverage range of 4.0x to 5.0x net debt-to-normalized EBITDA, we have a wide range of compelling options for funding our opportunistic growth strategy,” said Mr. Wagner.

2020 Guidance Unchanged

For the second quarter in a row, CareTrust left unchanged its annual guidance which was issued in February, notwithstanding the COVID-19 pandemic and related challenges. “Much is different, but our tenants are largely faring well and we remain comfortable projecting, on a per-diluted weighted-average common share basis, net income of approximately $0.76 to $0.78, normalized FFO of approximately $1.32 to $1.34, and normalized FAD of approximately $1.38 to $1.40,” said Mr. Wagner.

The guidance is based on a diluted weighted-average common share count of 95.6 million shares, and per CareTrust’s standard practice includes all investments, dispositions and loan repayments made to date, and assumes no new acquisitions, dispositions, new loans or loan repayments beyond those completed or announced to date, no new debt incurrences or new equity issuances, and estimated 1.75% CPI-based rent escalators under CareTrust's long-term net leases. “Naturally, we must note that material changes in economic and other factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the government’s responses thereto could alter our outlook at any time,” he concluded.

During the quarter, CareTrust declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share, consistent with the preceding quarter in which the Company raised its dividend by 11.1% from $0.225 to $0.25 per share. “The dividend remains very well covered, although the payout ratio is slightly higher than we like,” said Mr. Stapley. “Were it not for the general pause on transactions while the industry deals with the pandemic, we likely would have had some additional acquisitions by now to reduce that ratio,” he added. “Our goal is to catch up over the next few quarters and push that closer to historical levels,” he said. Mr. Wagner reported that, on an annualized basis, the payout ratio was approximately 74% based on second quarter 2020 normalized FFO, and 71% based on normalized FAD.

A conference call will be held on Friday, August 7, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (10:00 a.m. Pacific Time), during which CareTrust’s management will discuss second quarter 2020 results, recent developments and other matters.

[1]This guidance assumes and includes (i) all investments, dispositions and loan repayments made to date, (ii) no new acquisitions, dispositions, new loans or loan repayments beyond those completed or announced to date, (iii) no new debt incurrences or new equity issuances, and (iv) estimated 1.75% CPI-based rent escalators under CareTrust's long-term net leases. It does not contemplate future negative impacts, if any, that are related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA represents net income before interest expense (including amortization of deferred financing costs), amortization of stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization. Normalized EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of core operating performance, such as real estate impairment charges, provision for loan losses, provision for doubtful accounts, property operating expenses and gains or losses from dispositions of real estate or other real estate. EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements, including the Company’s ability to fund capital expenditures or make payments on its indebtedness. Further, the Company’s computation of EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA reported by other REITs.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation except on land, such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation provide another view of performance. Thus, Nareit created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP.

FFO is defined by Nareit as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from dispositions of real estate investments, real estate depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company computes FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition.

FAD is defined as FFO excluding noncash income and expenses, such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees and the effects of straight-line rent. The Company considers FAD to be a useful supplemental measure to evaluate the Company’s operating results excluding these income and expense items to help investors, analysts and other interested parties compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies on a more consistent basis.

In addition, the Company reports Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD, which adjust FFO and FAD for certain revenue and expense items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing operating results, such as provision for loan losses, provision for doubtful accounts, and property operating expenses. By excluding these items, investors, analysts and our management can compare Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD between periods more consistently.

While FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD are relevant and widely-used measures of operating performance among REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements.

Further, the Company’s computation of FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD may not be comparable to FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or that interpret the current Nareit definition or define FAD differently than the Company does.

The Company believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. The Company also believes that the use of EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. The Company considers EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA useful in understanding the Company’s operating results independent of its capital structure, indebtedness and other charges that are not indicative of its ongoing results, thereby allowing for a more meaningful comparison of operating performance between periods and against other REITs. The Company considers FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, impairment charges and real estate depreciation and amortization, and, for FAD and Normalized FAD, by excluding noncash income and expenses such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees, and the effects of straight-line rent, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD can help investors compare the Company’s operating performance between periods and to other REITs.
