LTC Reports 2021 First Quarter Results and Discusses Recent Activities

LTC Properties, Inc. (NYSE: LTC), a real estate investment trust that primarily invests in seniors housing and health care properties, today announced operating results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Net income available to common stockholders was $13.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the 2021 first quarter, compared with $63.4 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, for the same period in 2020. Funds from Operations (“FFO”) was $24.3 million for the 2021 first quarter, compared with $29.2 million for the comparable 2020 period. FFO per diluted common share was $0.62 and $0.74 for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Excluding non-recurring items, FFO was $25.1 million and $29.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Funds available for distribution (“FAD”) was $24.6 million for the 2021 first quarter compared with $28.5 million for the 2020 first quarter.

First quarter 2021 results were impacted by the following:

  • Net loss on sale of $773,000 compared with a net gain on sale of $43.9 million during the first quarter of 2020;
  • A $758,000 non-recurring, non-cash write-off of straight-line rent as a result of transitioning an operator’s lease to cash-basis accounting;
  • Decreased rental income as a result of Senior Lifestyle Corporation’s (“Senior Lifestyle”) nonpayment of lease obligations during the quarter, partially offset by the re-leasing of 11 properties in the portfolio;
  • Decreased rental income from abated and deferred rent, net of repayment, a one-time 50% reduction of 2021 rent and interest escalations in recognition of operators’ increased costs due to COVID-19, and lower property tax revenue associated with certain operators’ non-payment of rent and escrows, partially offset by higher rental income from acquisitions, completed developments and Anthem Memory Care; and
  • Lower interest.

During the first quarter of 2021, LTC completed the following:

  • Transitioned 11 assisted living communities previously leased to Senior Lifestyle to two operators. These communities are located in Wisconsin, Ohio and Illinois. Total cash rent expected under these master lease agreements is $5.2 million for the first lease year, $7.1 million for the second lease year, and $7.3 million for the third lease year, escalating by 2% annually thereafter;
  • Applied Senior Care Centers, LLC’s (“Senior Care”) and Abri Health Services, LLC’s (collectively, the “Lessee”) security deposits under the master lease to rent. Also, LTC sent a notice of default to the Lessee followed by a notice of termination of the master lease to be effective April 17, 2021. At the time of the April 16, 2021 bankruptcy filings by the Lessee, LTC was in the process of transitioning the portfolio to Texas-based HMG Healthcare, LLC (“HMG”) pursuant to a master lease, subject to various conditions precedent, including Lessee’s (and its sublessee affiliates’) compliance with the transition obligations under LTC’s existing master lease, with a goal to complete the transition by the end of the second quarter of 2021;
  • Reduced 2021 rent and interest escalations by 50% to support eligible operators during the continuing COVID-19 crisis. The rent and interest escalation reduction were given in the form of a rent and interest credit. During the first quarter of 2021, LTC recognized a decrease of $292,000 in GAAP revenue and a $1.2 million decrease in funds available for distribution and expects the escalation reductions to reduce GAAP revenue by approximately $170,000, $34,000 and $32,000 during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively, and to reduce funds available for distribution by approximately $133,000 in the second quarter of 2021;
  • Through the end of the 2021 first quarter, rent deferrals were $1.1 million, net of $21,000 of deferred rent repayments. Excluding the rent credit related to the rent escalation reduction discussed above, abated rent was $600,000;
  • Sold a closed previously impaired assisted living community in Florida and recognized a net loss on sale of $861,000;
  • Funded $1.0 million in capital improvement projects at a weighted average rate of 6.1%;
  • Funded its remaining preferred equity investment commitment of $8.0 million to develop a 267‑unit independent and assisted living community in Washington state, which was entered into during the third quarter of 2020;
  • Received $1.6 million related to the payoff of a mezzanine loan;
  • Received $936,000 related to the payoff of a note receivable;
  • Paid $7.0 million in regular scheduled principal payments under its 4.5% senior unsecured notes; and
  • Borrowed $17.0 million under its unsecured revolving line of credit at 1.3%.

Subsequent to March 31, 2021, LTC completed the following:

  • Provided $367,000 of deferred rent, net of repayment and $319,000 of rent abatement in April 2021 and agreed to provide rent deferrals and abatements up to $800,000 for each of May and June 2021;
  • Paid down $5.0 million under its unsecured revolving line of credit; and
  • Transitioned a memory care community in Colorado previously operated by Senior Lifestyle to an operator new to us. The new master lease has a 5-year term with $150,000 of cash rent starting in the second year and $300,000 in the third lease year and escalating by 2% annually thereafter.

Supplemental Reporting Measures

FFO and FAD are supplemental measures of a real estate investment trust’s (“REIT”) financial performance that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Investors, analysts and the Company use FFO and FAD as supplemental measures of operating performance. The Company believes FFO and FAD are helpful in evaluating the operating performance of a REIT. Real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, but cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. We believe that by excluding the effect of historical cost depreciation, which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO and FAD facilitate like comparisons of operating performance between periods. Occasionally, the Company may exclude non-recurring items from FFO and FAD in order to allow investors, analysts and our management to compare the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated items.

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), means net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on the sale of real estate and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from that of the Company; therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing our Company’s FFO to that of other REITs.

We define FAD as FFO excluding the effects of straight-line rent, amortization of lease inducement, effective interest income, deferred income from unconsolidated joint ventures, non-cash compensation charges, capitalized interest and non-cash interest charges. GAAP requires rental revenues related to non-contingent leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease to be recognized evenly over the life of the lease. This method results in rental income in the early years of a lease that is higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset included in our consolidated balance sheet. At some point during the lease, depending on its terms, cash rent payments exceed the straight-line rent which results in the straight-line rent receivable asset decreasing to zero over the remainder of the lease term. Effective interest method, as required by GAAP, is a technique for calculating the actual interest rate for the term of a mortgage loan based on the initial origination value. Similar to the accounting methodology of straight-line rent, the actual interest rate is higher than the stated interest rate in the early years of the mortgage loan thus creating an effective interest receivable asset included in the interest receivable line item in our consolidated balance sheet and reduces down to zero when, at some point during the mortgage loan, the stated interest rate is higher than the actual interest rate. FAD is useful in analyzing the portion of cash flow that is available for distribution to stockholders. Investors, analysts and the Company utilize FAD as an indicator of common dividend potential. The FAD payout ratio, which represents annual distributions to common shareholders expressed as a percentage of FAD, facilitates the comparison of dividend coverage between REITs.

While the Company uses FFO and FAD as supplemental performance measures of our cash flow generated by operations and cash available for distribution to stockholders, such measures are not representative of cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income available to common stockholders.
