Omega Announces Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Results; New Investments and Increased Dividend for 18th Consecutive Quarter

HUNT VALLEY, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (NYSE:OHI) (the “Company” or “Omega”) today announced its results of operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. The Company reported for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 net income of $129.9 million, or $0.63 per common share, Funds From Operations (“FFO”) of $171.5 million or $0.84 per common share, and Funds Available For Distribution (“FAD”) of $163.2 million.

Omega’s CEO, Taylor Pickett, said, “Our record quarterly Adjusted FFO of $0.88 per share and FAD of $0.80 per share is a strong testament to the strength of our operating model against the backdrop of an increasingly difficult operating environment. We share the industry leadership and investor concerns that increasing labor and liability costs and evolving reimbursement models may put near term financial strain on many operators within our industry.” Mr. Pickett, continued, “In light of these concerns, we are pleased to have built a conservative balance sheet allowing us to manage through this uncertainty while delivering superior earnings and reliable dividends.”

For the three-month period ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported net income of $129.9 million, or $0.63 per common share, on operating revenues of $234.5 million. This compares to net income of $63.5 million, or $0.32 per common share, on operating revenues of $210.5 million, for the same period in 2015.

For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported net income of $383.4 million, or $1.90 per common share, on operating revenues of $900.8 million. This compares to net income of $233.3 million, or $1.29 per common share, on operating revenues of $743.6 million, for the same period in 2015.

The year-to-date increase in net income compared to the prior year was primarily due to revenue associated with the acquisition by merger of Aviv REIT, Inc. (“Aviv”) on April 1, 2015 (the “Aviv Merger”) and new investments completed in 2015 and 2016, and the reduction in 2016 acquisition and merger related costs. This increase in net income was partially offset by $56.4 million in increased depreciation and amortization expense, $41.0 million in increased impairments on real estate assets, $4.6 million in incremental general and administrative expenses, $2.7 million in increased stock-based compensation expense, and $2.0 million in increased provisions for uncollectible mortgages, notes and straight-line receivables.

FFO for the fourth quarter of 2016 includes $5.9 million in provisions for uncollectible mortgages, notes and straight-line receivables and $3.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. These costs were partially offset by $0.7 million of one-time revenue. Adjusted FFO is $0.88 per common share for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. FFO, Adjusted FFO and FAD are non-GAAP financial measures. For more information regarding FFO and Adjusted FFO, see the “Funds From Operations” schedule.

FOURTH QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

The $5.9 million in provisions for uncollectible mortgages, notes and straight-line receivables primarily resulted from the write-down of one operator’s notes to fair value. The notes were assumed as part of the Aviv Merger.

The $171.5 million of FFO for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 includes the impact of $5.9 million in provisions for uncollectible mortgages, notes and straight-line receivables and $3.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, offset by a $0.7 million of one-time non-cash revenue.

The $127.4 million of FFO for the three-month period ended December 31, 2015 includes the impact of $20.5 million of interest refinancing expense, $7.6 million in provisions for uncollectible mortgages, notes and straight-line receivables, $4.5 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, $2.8 million of interest expense related to the early extinguishment of debt and $2.0 million of acquisition and merger related costs; offset by $5.4 million “catch-up” of in-place lease revenue recognition resulting from an updated valuation of the assumed leases from the Aviv Merger.

Adjusted FFO was $180.4 million, or $0.88 per common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $159.4 million, or $0.81 per common share, for the same period in 2015. For further information see the “Funds From Operations” schedule.

$90 Million of New Investments in Q4 2016 – In Q4 2016, the Company completed transactions totaling $50 million of a new investment and $40 million in capital renovations and new construction consisting of the following:

$50 Million Unconsolidated Joint Venture On November 1, 2016, the Company invested approximately $50.0 million in a joint venture, Second Spring Healthcare Investments (“Second Spring”), to acquire 64 skilled nursing facilities from Welltower, Inc. for approximately $1.1 billion. Second Spring is approximately 85% owned by affiliates of Lindsey Goldberg LLC and approximately 15% owned by the Company. Simultaneously, Second Spring entered into a new 15 year Master Lease with Genesis Healthcare. Separately, the Company entered into an asset management agreement with Second Spring.

$40 Million Capital Renovation Projects – In addition to the new investment outlined above, in Q4 2016, the Company invested approximately $40 million under its capital renovation and construction-in-progress programs.

ASSET DISPOSITIONS AND IMPAIRMENTS

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company sold 18 facilities for approximately $104.8 million in net proceeds recognizing a gain of approximately $30.3 million. Eleven of the sold facilities were previously classified as assets held for sale. No provisions for impairment were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016.

The Company’s strategy to prune underperforming assets and non-strategic relationships resulted in the sale of 38 facilities for $169.6 million in cash proceeds resulting in a gain of $50.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. As part of that process, the Company recorded $58.7 million of asset impairments in 2016.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had 20 facilities, totaling $52.9 million, classified as assets held for sale. The Company expects to sell these facilities over the next few quarters.

DIVIDENDS

On January 12, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.62 per share, increasing the quarterly common dividend by $0.01 per share over the previous quarter. The common dividends are to be paid February 15, 2017 to common stockholders of record on January 31, 2017. This represents the Company’s 18th consecutive quarterly dividend increase.

2017 ADJUSTED FFO GUIDANCE

The Company currently expects its 2017 annual Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders to be between $3.40 and $3.44 per diluted share. The Company's 2017 FAD guidance and reconciliation to projected net income can be found in the Company's Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Supplement located on the Company's website. The following table presents a reconciliation of Omega’s guidance regarding Adjusted FFO to projected GAAP earnings.

  2017 Annual Adjusted FFO
Guidance Range
(per diluted common share)
Full Year
Net Income $1.98 - $2.02
Depreciation 1.40
Gain on assets sold -
Real estate impairment -
FFO $3.38 - $3.42
Adjustments:
Legal settlement (0.05)
Transaction costs -
Interest – refinancing costs -
Stock-based compensation expense 0.07
Adjusted FFO $3.40 - $3.44
 

Note: All per share numbers rounded to 2 decimals.

The Company's Adjusted FFO guidance for 2017 includes approximately $100 million of planned capital renovation projects; however, it excludes the impact of additional new investments. It also excludes the impact of gains and losses from the sale of assets, revenue from divestitures, certain revenue and expense items, interest refinancing expense, capital transactions, acquisition and merger related costs, provisions for uncollectible receivables, and stock-based compensation expense. The Company may, from time to time, update its publicly announced Adjusted FFO guidance, but it is not obligated to do so.

The Company's guidance is based on a number of assumptions, which are subject to change and many of which are outside the Company’s control. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the timing and completion of acquisitions, divestitures, capital and financing transactions, and variations in stock-based compensation expense may cause actual results to vary materially from our current expectations. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its projected results.

TAX TREATMENT FOR 2016 DIVIDENDS

On February 16, 2016, May 16, 2016, August 15, 2016 and November 15, 2016, the Company paid dividends to its common stockholders in the per share amounts of $0.57, $0.58, $0.60 and $0.61, for stockholders of record on February 2, 2016, May 2, 2016, August 1, 2016 and October 31, 2016, respectively. The Company has determined that 13.64% of the common dividends paid in 2016 should be treated for tax purposes as a return of capital, 83.39% treated as an ordinary dividend, with the balance of 2.97% treated as capital gains.

(1)   During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company updated its purchase accounting analysis for the Aviv acquisition via merger. Accounting rules require purchase accounting allocations to be completed within one year of the acquisition date. It also allows adjustments to preliminary purchase accounting allocations to be recorded currently, not retrospectively, and requires disclosure of the adjustments. The Company completed the purchase accounting analysis during the first quarter of 2016. As a result of updated information, the Company increased the net in-place lease liabilities assumed in the Aviv Merger (which required the Company to update amortization associated with the assumed Aviv in-place leases). During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company recorded $5.4 million of additional amortization associated with the updated valuation of the assumed in-place leases that would have been recorded in second and third quarter of 2015 had the updated information been known (the “Catch-up Adjustment”). No full year adjustment is required since the fourth quarter Catch-up Adjustment is related to “timing of amortization” of the assumed in-place leases. Fourth quarter Adjusted FFO excluded (deducted) the $5.4 million Catch-up Adjustment from Non-cash revenues for the quarter.
(2) On September 25, 2015, the Company irrevocably deposited approximately $615.0 million to the trustee to call and redeem its $575 million 6.75% Notes due 2022. This amount included the $575 million principal, a redemption premium of 3.375%, semi-annual interest and additional interest to the redemption date of October 26, 2015. The $615.0 million was classified as “Other assets” on the Company’s financial statements. The Company has adjusted (or added back) 8 days of interest at 6.75% resulting from the requirement to deposit with the trustee in September.
(3) The $61.3 million of Non-cash revenues includes $5.4 million of additional amortization associated with the updated valuation of the assumed Aviv in-place leases recorded in fourth quarter of 2015.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Adjusted FFO and FAD are non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that exclude amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the company, or include amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable financial measure so calculated and presented. As used in this press release, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The Company calculates and reports FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), and consequently, FFO is defined as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization and impairments on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. The Company believes that FFO, Adjusted FFO and FAD are important supplemental measures of its operating performance. 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, while real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. The term FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue. FFO described herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO of other real estate investment trusts, or REITs, that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from the Company.

Adjusted FFO is calculated as FFO excluding the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation and certain revenue and expense items identified above. FAD is calculated as Adjusted FFO less non-cash interest expense and non-cash revenue, such as straight-line rent. The Company believes these measures provide an enhanced measure of the operating performance of the Company’s core portfolio as a REIT. The Company’s computation of Adjusted FFO and FAD are not comparable to the NAREIT definition of FFO or to similar measures reported by other REITs, but the Company believes that they are appropriate measures for this Company.

The Company uses these non-GAAP measures among the criteria to measure the operating performance of its business. The Company also uses Adjusted FFO among the performance metrics for performance-based compensation of officers. The Company further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairments on real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. The Company offers these measures to assist the users of its financial statements in analyzing its operating performance and not as measures of liquidity or cash flow. These non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as measures of liquidity, alternatives to net income or indicators of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in the Company’s securities should not rely on these non-GAAP measures as substitutes for any GAAP measure, including net income.
