  • In November 2022, the Company acquired a 60-unit assisted living facility located in Virginia Beach, VA, from Bickford Senior Living ("Bickford"). The acquisition price was $17.2 million, which included the cancellation of an outstanding construction note receivable of $14.0 million. The acquisition price also included a reduction in lieu of cash payment of $3.0 million in Bickford's outstanding pandemic-related rent deferrals that was recognized in rental income based on the fair value of the real estate assets received.
  • In November 2022, the Company funded a $42.5 million senior loan to refinance a portfolio of skilled nursing facilities located in Texas. The loan was made to affiliates of Capital Funding Group and the facilities are leased by subsidiaries of The Ensign Group. The five-year loan agreement has an annual interest rate of 7.25% and two one-year extensions.
  • Results for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year were impacted by the following:
  • Rental income recognized from the Company's tenants, including the effects of straight-line lease revenue and property taxes and insurance on leased properties, decreased $7.2 million primarily as a result of write offs in the fourth quarter of 2022 of approximately $7.9 million of straight-line rents receivable related to placing two tenants on the cash basis for revenue recognition, net of new investments and dispositions since the end of the fourth quarter of 2021;
  • Interest income and other was approximately $3.6 million lower primarily due to paydowns on loans, net of new and existing loan fundings since the end of the fourth quarter of 2021;
  • The new SHOP activities contributed NOI of approximately $1.9 million comprised of revenues from resident fees and related services of $11.8 million and operating expenses of $9.8 million;
  • Interest expense was approximately $0.2 million higher, as a result of increased borrowings on the unsecured credit facility;
  • General and administrative expenses were approximately $1.6 million higher primarily due to increased compensation and benefits expenses attributable largely to personnel growth;
  • Gains on the sales of real estate assets decreased $6.1 million compared to the same period in the prior year. No real estate assets were sold in the three months ended December 31, 2022. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold three properties generating gains on sales of real estate of $6.1 million;
  • Loan and realty losses were $22.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $6.5 million. This amount consisted of an increase in the credit loss reserve of $8.7 million because two loans totaling an aggregate $24.5 million with affiliates of one operator/borrower were designated as non-performing. This operator/borrower is also one of the tenants converted to cash basis of accounting. Real estate impairments totaled $13.3 million in the quarter.

Subsequent Investment Activity

In February 2023, NHI acquired two memory care communities for approximately $37.5 million. The communities are operated by Silverado Senior Living ("Silverado") which is a new relationship for NHI. The newly developed properties that opened in 2022 include a 60-unit community in Summerlin, NV and a 60-unit community in Frederick, MD. NHI is leasing the properties to Silverado pursuant to a 20-year master lease with a first-year lease rate of 7.5% and annual escalators of 2%.

In February 2023, NHI acquired a 60-unit assisted living and memory care community in Chesapeake, VA from Bickford for $17.3 million. The acquisition was primarily funded with the satisfaction of a $14.2 million construction loan due from Bickford. The community was added to an existing master lease with Bickford at an initial cash lease yield of 8.0%. As part of the transaction, NHI agreed to a $2.5 million reduction in lieu of cash payment to Bickford's outstanding pandemic-related deferral balance. The community opened in May 2022. EBITDARM coverages for the property for the trailing six-, three-, and one-month periods ended December 2022, were 1.62x, 2.06x, and 2.23x, respectively.

Eric Mendelsohn, NHI President and CEO, stated, "We are excited by the progress we made in 2022 even as the operating environment remains challenging. Our portfolio optimization is largely complete following the disposition of 39 underperforming properties with low single-digit yields for $340 million, the restructuring of several tenant leases including the Bickford lease, and the transitioning of 15 properties into our newly formed SHOP portfolio. Our need driven senior housing EBITDARM coverage has significantly improved as a result, and we believe we are in a great position to return to growth."

Mr. Mendelsohn continued, "We have several organic growth drivers including collections on our pandemic-related deferral balances, rent resets on restructured leases and transitioned properties, and meaningful upside in the SHOP assets as transition issues subside and industry fundamentals begin to improve. Our balance sheet is in excellent shape which positions us for accretive acquisitions to drive our external growth as well. We announced $101.5 million in investments in 2022 and have already announced $54.8 million in investments in 2023. We also have the ability to buy back our stock."

Mr. Mendelsohn concluded, "The last few years have unquestionably been the most difficult for our industry, so I am proud of the resilience and creativity of our team. Despite the many challenges, we achieved full year FAD 2022 guidance and, as the headwinds are starting to subside, we think we have better visibility so we again have introduced full year guidance for 2023. We thank all of our stakeholders for the trust placed in NHI and look forward to reporting on our progress this year."

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $1.1 billion in net debt including $42 million outstanding on its $700 million revolving credit facility. In January 2023, NHI repaid a $125 million private placement note primarily with proceeds from the revolving credit facility. At January 31, 2023, NHI had $202.0 million outstanding under the $700 million revolving credit facility and approximately $26.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has approximately $415.7 million available under the ATM program.

NHI continues to maintain a strong financial profile and reported that net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 4.7x which is within the Company's target range of 4.0x - 5.0x. NHI is in compliance with all debt covenants and has investment grade credit ratings from Moody's, S&P Global, and Fitch Ratings. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Moody's revised its rating outlook on NHI to "stable" from "negative".

Share Repurchase Plan

On February 17, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan ("2023 plan") for up to $160 million of the Company's common stock. The plan is effective for a period of one year. Shares may be repurchased from time-to-time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with the terms of Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended and shall be made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations in effect. The timing and number of shares repurchased, if any, will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general market and economic conditions, alternative investment opportunities and other corporate considerations. The stock repurchase plan does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The 2023 plan replaces the plan approved by the Board in April 2022 for up to $240 million. Under that plan, NHI repurchased through open market transactions approximately 2.5 million shares of its common stock for an average price of $61.56 per share during 2022 with no repurchases during the fourth quarter.

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.
