MURFREESBORO, TN / ACCESSWIRE / November 8, 2022 / National Health Investors, Inc. (NYSE:NHI) announced today its results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

  • Net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.78, compared to $0.67, during the same period in the prior year. Net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $1.43, compared to $2.31 during the same period in the prior year.
  • National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") FFO per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $1.04, compared to $1.16 during the same period in the prior year. NAREIT FFO per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2.81, compared to $3.55 during the same period in the prior year.
  • Normalized FFO per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $1.06, compared to $1.15 during the same period in the prior year. Normalized FFO per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $3.43, compared to $3.55 during the same period in the prior year.
  • Normalized FAD for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $47.4 million, compared to $51.2 million, during the same period in the prior year. Normalized FAD for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $156.1 million, compared to $163.6 million during the same period in the prior year.
  • Completed the disposition of two senior housing properties for net proceeds of approximately $16.4 million and seven skilled nursing facilities for net proceeds of approximately $43.7 million during the third quarter. Since the second quarter of 2021, the Company has completed the disposition of 32 underperforming senior housing properties for net proceeds of approximately $296.4 million with a cumulative EBITDARM coverage of 0.47x.
  • Repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares for approximately $82 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company has repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares year to date for approximately $152 million under the $240.0 million share repurchase authorization from April 2022. As a result, quarterly dividends have declined by approximately $8.9 million on an annualized basis.
  • Results for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year were impacted by the following:
    • Rental income excluding the effects of straight-line lease revenue and property taxes and insurance on leased properties was approximately $5.5 million lower primarily as a result of a net $4.8 million from asset dispositions completed since the end of the third quarter of 2021 and $1.5 million from properties transitioned to NHI's SHOP portfolio.
    • Interest income and other was approximately $1.5 million lower primarily due to paydowns on loans, net of new and existing loan fundings since the end of the third quarter of 2021;
    • The new SHOP activities contributed NOI of approximately $2.8 million comprised of revenues from resident fees and related services of $12.0 million and operating expenses of $9.2 million;
    • Interest expense was approximately $1.3 million lower, as a result of the expiration of NHI's interest rate swap agreements on December 31, 2021 and the repayments of indebtedness, including the payoffs of the convertible bond that matured in April 2021 and $250.0 million on term loans;
    • General and administrative expenses were approximately $1.1 million higher;
    • Gains from the sales of real estate assets were $14.8 million, representing a decrease of $5.1 million;
    • Loan and realty losses were $11.3 million, representing a decrease of $11.1 million;

Eric Mendelsohn, NHI President and CEO, stated, "We are very pleased with our third quarter results which were ahead of our expectations driven primarily by stronger collections. Our portfolio optimization efforts continue to drive improved EBITDARM coverage in the senior housing portfolio and provide additional capital that solidifies our balance sheet. Our leverage at 4.5x is well within our target range and is after we have completed $152 million in share repurchases this year."

Mr. Mendelsohn continued, "While our quarterly results beat our expectations, the operating environment continues to be challenging, particularly with elevated labor, as we head into the seasonally slower winter months. We expect to continue using deferrals, rent restructurings and asset dispositions in the fourth quarter to assist our operators and better position our total portfolio but this may pressure our near-term financial results."

Mr. Mendelsohn concluded, "Despite the headwinds, our long-term optimism for the industry remains unchanged and we are fortunate to be in excellent financial health to capitalize as the industry recovery accelerates."

Notes to Reconciliation of FFO, Normalized FFO, Normalized FAD and NOI

These supplemental performance measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other REITs. Consequently, our Funds From Operations ("FFO"), Normalized FFO and Normalized Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD") may not provide a meaningful measure of our performance as compared to that of other REITs. Since other REITs may not use our definition of these performance measures, caution should be exercised when comparing our FFO, Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD to that of other REITs. These financial performance measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") (these measures do not include changes in operating assets and liabilities) and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net earnings as an indication of performance, or to net cash flow from operating activities as determined by GAAP as a measure of liquidity, and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

Funds From Operations - FFO

FFO, as defined by NAREIT and applied by us, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, if any. 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. Diluted FFO assumes the exercise of stock options and other potentially dilutive securities. Normalized FFO excludes from FFO certain items which, due to their infrequent or unpredictable nature, may create some difficulty in comparing FFO for the current period to similar prior periods, and may include, but are not limited to, impairment of non-real estate assets, gains and losses attributable to the acquisition and disposition of assets and liabilities, and recoveries of previous write-downs.

FFO and Normalized FFO are important supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative, and should be supplemented with a measure such as FFO. The term FFO was designed by the REIT industry to address this issue.

Funds Available for Distribution - FAD

In addition to the adjustments included in the calculation of Normalized FFO, Normalized FAD excludes the impact of any straight-line rent revenue, amortization of the original issue discount on our senior unsecured notes, amortization of debt issuance costs, non-cash stock based compensation, as well as certain non-cash items related to our equity method investment.

Normalized FAD is an important supplemental performance measure for a REIT. GAAP requires a lessor to recognize contractual lease payments into income on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease. This straight-line adjustment has the effect of reporting lease income that is significantly more or less than the contractual cash flows received pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement. GAAP also requires any discount or premium related to indebtedness and debt issuance costs to be amortized as non-cash adjustments to earnings. The Company also adjusts Normalized FAD for the net change in the allowance for expected credit losses, non-cash stock based compensation, senior housing portfolio capital expenditures as well as certain non-cash items related to equity method investments such as straight-line lease expense and amortization of purchase accounting adjustments. Normalized FAD is an important supplemental measure of liquidity for a REIT as a useful indicator of the ability to distribute dividends to stockholders.

Net Operating Income

Net operating income ("NOI") is a U.S. non-GAAP supplemental financial measure used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate. NOI is defined as total revenues, less tenant reimbursements and property operating expenses. The Company believes NOI provides investors relevant and useful information as it measures the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. The Company uses NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our properties.

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements regarding the Company's, tenants', operators', borrowers' or managers' expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, funds from operations, dividend and dividend plans, financing opportunities and plans, capital market transactions, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, operating metrics, capital expenditures, competitive positions, acquisitions, investment opportunities, dispositions, acquisition integration, growth opportunities, expected lease income, continued qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), plans and objectives of management for future operations, continued performance improvements, ability to service and refinance our debt obligations, ability to finance growth opportunities, and similar statements including, without limitation, those containing words such as "may", "will", "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "estimates", "plans", and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from those projected or contemplated in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among other things; the impact of COVID-19 on our tenants, borrowers, economy and the Company; our ability to retain our management team and other personnel and attract suitable replacements should any such personnel leave; the operating success of our tenants and borrowers for collection of our lease and interest income; the success of property development and construction activities, which may fail to achieve the operating results we expect; the risk that our tenants and borrowers may become subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; risks related to the concentration of a significant percentage of our portfolio to a small number of tenants; risks related to governmental regulations and payors, principally Medicare and Medicaid, and the effect that lower reimbursement rates would have on our tenants' and borrowers' business; the risk that the cash flows of our tenants and borrowers would be adversely affected by increased liability claims and liability insurance costs; risks related to environmental laws and the costs associated with liabilities related to hazardous substances;the risk of damage from catastrophic weather and other natural or man-made disasters and the physical effects of climate change; the risk that we may not be fully indemnified by our lessees and borrowers against future litigation; the success of our future acquisitions and investments; our ability to reinvest cash in real estate investments in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; the potential need to incur more debt in the future, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us; our ability to meet covenants related to our indebtedness which impose certain operational limitations and a breach of those covenants could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations; the risk that the illiquidity of real estate investments could impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties; risks associated with our investments in unconsolidated entities, including our lack of sole decision-making authority and our reliance on the financial condition of other interests;operational risks with respect to our senior housing operating portfolio ("SHOP") structured communities;our dependence on revenues derived mainly from fixed rate investments in real estate assets, while a portion of our debt bears interest at variable rates; the risk that our assets may be subject to impairment charges; risks related to our ability to maintain the privacy and security of Company information; and our dependence on the ability to continue to qualify for taxation as a real estate investment trust. Many of these factors are beyond the control of the Company and its management. The Company assumes no obligation to update any of the foregoing or any other forward looking statements, except as required by law, and these statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Investors are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by NHI in its periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors and other information disclosed in NHI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently ended fiscal year and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the most recently ended quarter.
