1. | General |
LTC Properties, Inc., a health care real estate investment trust (“REIT”), was incorporated on May 12, 1992 in the State of Maryland and commenced operations on August 25, 1992. We invest primarily in seniors housing and health care properties primarily through sale-leasebacks, mortgage financing, joint ventures and structured finance solutions including preferred equity and mezzanine lending. We conduct and manage our business as
We have prepared consolidated financial statements included herein without audit and in the opinion of management have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations governing the presentation of interim financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
2. | Real Estate Investments |
Assisted living communities, independent living communities, memory care communities and combinations thereof are included in the assisted living property classification (collectively “ALF”).
Any reference to the number of properties or facilities, number of units, number of beds, number of operators and yield on investments in real estate are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Owned Properties. Our owned properties are leased pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases. Each lease is a triple net lease which requires the lessee to pay all taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, capital and non-capital expenditures and other costs necessary in the operations of the facilities. Many of the leases contain renewal options. The majority of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year.

We monitor the collectability of our receivable balances, including deferred rent receivable balances, on an ongoing basis. We write-off uncollectible operator receivable balances, including straight- line rent receivable and lease incentives balances, as a reduction to rental income in the period such balances are no longer probable of being collected. Therefore, recognition of rental income is limited to the lesser of the amount of cash collected or rental income reflected on a “straight-line” basis for those customer receivable balances deemed uncollectible. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had
We continue to take into account the current financial condition of our operators, in our estimation of uncollectible accounts at September 30, 2024. We are closely monitoring the collectability of such rents and will adjust future estimations as appropriate as further information becomes known.

Intangible Assets. We make estimates as part of our allocation of the purchase price of acquisitions to various components of acquisition based upon the fair value of each component. In determining fair value, we use current appraisals or other third-party opinions of value. The most significant components of our allocations are typically the allocation of fair value to land and buildings, and for certain of our acquisitions, in-place leases and other intangible assets. In the case of the value of in-place leases, we make the best estimates based on the evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.

Financing Receivables. As part of our acquisitions, we may invest in sale and leaseback transactions. In accordance with the accounting guidance, we must determine whether each sale and leaseback transaction qualifies as a sale. Generally, an option for the seller-lessee to repurchase a real estate asset precludes accounting for the transfer of the asset as a sale and the purchased assets should be presented as financing receivables.
During 2022 through 2024, we entered into joint venture agreements and contributed into these JVs for the purchase of properties through sale and leaseback transactions. Concurrently, each of these JVs leased the purchased properties back to an affiliate of the seller and provided the seller-lessee with purchase options. Accordingly, these sale and leaseback transactions meet the accounting criteria to be presented as financing receivables. Furthermore, we determined that we exercise power over and receive benefits from each of these joint ventures. Therefore, we consolidated the joint ventures as Financing Receivables on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded the rental revenue from these joint ventures as Interest income from financing receivables on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

3. | Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures |
We have preferred equity investments in two joint ventures and an acquisition, development and construction (“ADC”) loan . We determined that each of these JVs meet the accounting criteria to be considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). We are not the primary beneficiary of the JVs as we do not have both: 1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the JVs’ economic performance, and 2) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. However, we do have significant influence over the JVs. Therefore, we have accounted for the JVs using the equity method of accounting.

Non-contingent lease incentives represent payments made to our lessees for various reasons including entering into a new lease or lease amendments and extensions. Contingent lease incentives represent potential contingent earn-out payments that may be made to our lessees in the future, as part of our lease agreements. From time to time, we may commit to provide contingent payments to our lessees, upon our properties achieving certain rent coverage ratios. Once the contingent payment becomes probable and estimable, the contingent payment is recorded as a lease incentive. Lease incentives are amortized as a yield adjustment to rental income over the remaining life of the lease.
6. | Credit Loss Reserve |
We apply Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), which requires a forward-looking “expected loss” model, to estimate our loan losses. We determined our Financing receivables, Mortgage loans receivable and Notes receivable line items on our Consolidated Balance Sheets are within the scope of ASC 326.
Financing receivables. We obtained controlling interests in JVs that acquired properties through sale and leaseback transactions. The JVs concurrently leased the purchased properties to affiliates of sellers and provided the sellers-lessees with purchase options. We consolidated the JVs as Financing receivables on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. For more information regarding these transactions See Note 2. Financing receivables above. At September 30, 2024, we had investments in

We monitor the credit quality of our financial instruments through a variety of methods determined by the underlying collateral or other protective rights, operator’s payment history and other internal metrics. Our monitoring process includes periodic review of financial statements for each facility, scheduled property inspections and review of covenant compliance, industry conditions and current and future economic conditions. The future economic conditions are based on the economic data from the Federal Reserve and reasonable assumptions for the future economic trends.
In determining the “expected” credit loss reserves on these instruments, we utilize the probability of default and discounted cash flow methods. Further, we stress-test the results to reflect the impact of unknown adverse future events including recessions.

Additionally, some of our lease agreements provide purchase options allowing the lessee to purchase the properties they currently lease from us. See Note 2. Real Estate Investments for a table summarizing information about our purchase options.
We are a party from time to time to various general and professional liability claims and lawsuits asserted against the lessees or borrowers of our properties, which in our opinion are not singularly or in the aggregate material to our results of operations or financial condition. These types of claims and lawsuits may include matters involving general or professional liability, which we believe under applicable legal principles are not our responsibility as a non-possessory landlord or mortgage holder. We believe that these matters are the responsibility of our lessees and borrowers pursuant to general legal principles and pursuant to insurance and indemnification provisions in the applicable leases or mortgages. We intend to continue to vigorously defend such claims.

12. | Fair Value Measurements |
In accordance with the accounting guidance regarding the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, entities are permitted to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings. We did not elect the fair value option for any of our financial assets and financial liabilities.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. We do not invest our cash in auction rate securities.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains 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, adopted pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not purely historical may be forward-looking. You can identify some of the forward-looking statements by their use of forward-looking words, such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates,” or the negative of those words or similar words. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties regarding events, conditions and financial trends that may affect our future plans of operation, business strategy, results of operations and financial position. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those included within or contemplated by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our dependence on our operators for revenue and cash flow; the duration and extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; government regulation of the health care industry; federal and state health care cost containment measures including reductions in reimbursement from third-party payors such as Medicare and Medicaid; required regulatory approvals for operation of health care facilities; a failure to comply with federal, state, or local regulations for the operation of health care facilities; the adequacy of insurance coverage maintained by our operators; our reliance on a few major operators; our ability to renew leases or enter into favorable terms of renewals or new leases; the impact of inflation, operator financial or legal difficulties; the sufficiency of collateral securing mortgage loans; an impairment of our real estate investments; the relative illiquidity of our real estate investments; our ability to develop and complete construction projects; our ability to invest cash proceeds for health care properties; a failure to qualify as a REIT; our ability to grow if access to capital is limited; and a failure to maintain or increase our dividend. For a discussion of these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements, please see the discussion under “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in our publicly available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake any responsibility to update or revise any of these factors or to announce publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Executive Overview
Business and Investment Strategy
We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in seniors housing and health care properties through sale-leaseback, financing receivables, mortgage financing, joint ventures and structured finance solutions including preferred equity and mezzanine lending. Our primary objectives are to create, sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in seniors housing and health care properties managed by experienced operators.
31
The following graph summarizes our gross investments as of September 30, 2024:
Our primary seniors housing and health care property classifications include skilled nursing centers (“SNF”), assisted living communities (“ALF”), independent living communities (“ILF”), memory care communities (“MC”) and combinations thereof. We also invest in other (“OTH”) types of properties, such as land parcels, projects under development (“UDP”) and behavioral health care hospitals. To meet these objectives, we attempt to invest in properties that provide opportunity for additional value and current returns to our stockholders and diversify our investment portfolio by geographic location, operator, property classification and form of investment.
We conduct and manage our business as one operating segment for internal reporting and internal decision-making purposes. For purposes of this quarterly report and other presentations, we generally include ALF, ILF, MC, and combinations thereof in the ALF classification. As of September 30, 2024, seniors housing and health care properties comprised approximately 99.4% of our gross investment portfolio. We have been operating since August 1992.
Substantially all of our revenues and sources of cash flows from operations are derived from operating lease rentals, interest earned on financing receivable, interest earned on outstanding loans receivable and income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. Income from our investments represent our primary source of liquidity to fund distributions and are dependent upon the performance of the operators on their lease and loan obligations and the rates earned thereon. To the extent that the operators experience operating difficulties and are unable to generate sufficient cash to make payments to us, there could be a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, we monitor our investments through a variety of methods determined by property type and operator. Our monitoring process includes periodic review of financial statements for each facility, periodic review of operator credit, scheduled property inspections and review of covenant compliance.
32
In addition to our monitoring and research efforts, we also structure our investments to help mitigate payment risk. Some operating leases and loans are credit enhanced by guaranties and/or letters of credit. In addition, operating leases are typically structured as master leases and loans are generally cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with other loans, operating leases or agreements between us and the operator and its affiliates.
Depending upon the availability and cost of external capital, we anticipate making additional investments in health care related properties. New investments are generally funded from cash on hand, proceeds from periodic asset sales, temporary borrowings under our unsecured revolving line of credit and internally generated cash flows. Our investments generate internal cash from rent and interest receipts and principal payments on loan receivables and income from unconsolidated joint ventures. Permanent financing for future investments, which replaces funds drawn under our unsecured revolving line of credit, is expected to be provided through a combination of public and private offerings of debt and equity securities. We could also look to secured and unsecured debt financing. The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by financing activities and used in investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets’ environment, especially to changes in interest rates. Changes in the capital markets’ environment may impact the availability of cost-effective capital.
We believe our business model has enabled and will continue to enable us to maintain the integrity of our property investments, including in response to financial difficulties that may be experienced by operators. Traditionally, we have taken a conservative approach to managing our business, choosing to maintain liquidity and exercise patience until favorable investment opportunities arise.

As of September 30, 2024, we had $1.7 billion in net carrying value of investments, consisting of $942.3 million or 54.2% invested in owned and leased properties, $357.9 million or 20.6% invested in financing receivables, $360.8 million or 20.7% invested in mortgage loans secured by first mortgages, $47.7 million or 2.7% in notes receivable and $30.6 million or 1.8% in unconsolidated joint ventures.
Rental income, income from financing receivables and interest income from mortgage loans represented 62.0%, 9.3% and 22.8%, respectively, of Total revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In most instances, our lease structure contains fixed annual rental escalations and/or annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index. Certain leases have annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the gross operating revenues of the property. This revenue is not recognized until the appropriate contingencies have been resolved.
Many of our existing leases contain renewal options that, if exercised, could result in the amount of rent payable upon renewal being greater or less than that currently being paid. During 2023, Brookdale Senior Living Communities, Inc. (“Brookdale”) elected not to exercise its renewal option under a master lease that matured on December 31, 2023.

(1) | These communities were transitioned to an existing LTC operator. The new master lease includes a purchase option that can be exercised starting in November 2027 through October 2029 if the lessee exercises its four-year extension option. Rent increases to $984 in the second year, and $1,150 in the third year. |
(2) | These communities were re-leased to Brookdale under a new master lease. Rent escalates by approximately 2.0% annually. The new master lease includes a purchase option that can be exercised in 2029. We also agreed to fund $7,200 for capital expenditures for the first two years of the lease at an initial rate of 8.0% escalating by approximately 2.0% annually thereafter. |
(3) | These communities were transitioned to an operator new to us. Rent escalates by approximately 3.0% annually. |
(4) | Net of transaction costs and seller financing, if any. |
(5) | We provided seller financing collateralized by two of the Florida properties, with a total of 92 units. The $4,000 seller-financed mortgage loan has a two-year term, with a one-year extension, at an interest rate of 8.75%. |
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, a master lease covering 11 skilled nursing centers, that was scheduled to mature in January 2024, was renewed for seven months extending the maturity to August 2024. The centers have a total of 1,444 beds and are located in Texas. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, this master lease was amended to extend the lease term to December 31,
35
2028, with two five-year renewal options. The annual rent increased from $8.0 million to $9.0 million for 2024. Rent will increase to $9.5 million in 2025 and $10.0 million in 2026, escalating 3.3% annually thereafter. As a condition of the amended master lease, the operator paid $12.0 million during 2024, towards its $13.5 million working capital note. The remaining $1.5 million balance of the working capital note is interest-free and repaid in installments through 2028.
Additionally, during 2024, another operator exercised its renewal option under its master lease for five years, from March 2025 through February 2030. Annual cash and GAAP rent for 2024 are $8.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively escalating 2.5% annually. The master lease covers 666 beds across four skilled nursing centers, three in Texas and one in Wisconsin and a behavioral health care hospital in Nevada.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $0.6 million in straight-line rental adjustment reflecting higher cash rent received than recorded as rental income, and amortization of lease incentive cost of $0.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we received $99.0 million of cash rental income, which includes $9.8 million of operator reimbursements for real estate taxes. At September 30, 2024, the straight-line rent receivable balance on the consolidated balance sheet was $18.7 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $14.7 million in Interest income from financing receivables which includes $11.7 million of interest received in cash and $3.0 million in financing receivables effective interest. At September 30, 2024, the financing receivables effective interest receivable which is included in the Interest receivable line item on our Consolidated Balance Sheets was $4.3 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $35.8 million in Interest income from mortgage loans which includes $32.7 million of interest received in cash, $0.2 million of income from interest reserves and $2.9 million in mortgage loans effective interest. At September, 30, 2024, the mortgage loans effective interest receivable which is included in the Interest receivable line item on our Consolidated Balance Sheets was $51.9 million.

During the second quarter of 2024, we funded an additional $5.5 million under a mortgage loan receivable due from an ALG affiliate secured by 13 assisted living and memory care communities located in North Carolina (12) and South Carolina (1). We then entered into a newly formed $122.5 million joint venture with ALG, whereby we exchanged our $64.5 million mortgage loan receivable for a 53% controlling interest in the JV. Concurrently, ALG contributed these properties to the joint venture for a 47% non-controlling interest. The JV leased the properties to an ALG affiliate under a 10-year master lease, with two five-year renewal options and provided the seller-lessee with a purchase option exercisable through 2028, with an exit IRR of 8.0%.
During the second quarter of 2024, we also funded an additional $2.8 million under a mortgage loan receivable due from an ALG affiliate secured by four assisted living communities located in North Carolina. We then entered into another newly formed $41.0 million joint venture with ALG, whereby we exchanged $38.0 million of mortgage loan receivables for a 93% controlling interest in the JV. Concurrently, ALG contributed these properties and a parcel of land to the joint venture for a 7% non-controlling interest. The JV leased the properties to an ALG affiliate under a 10-year master lease, with two five-year renewal options and provided the seller-lessee with a purchase option exercisable through 2028, with an exit IRR of 8.0%. All of our investments with ALG are now cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized, providing us with added security.
We determined that these joint venture transactions meet the criteria to be presented as financing receivables and that we exercise power over and receive benefits from each of these joint ventures, thus consolidated them as Financing Receivables on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Additionally, we have a controlling interest in a separate consolidated JV with ALG. These communities are located in North Carolina and are accounted for as financing receivables. During the second quarter of 2024, we deferred the consolidated JV income for a total of $2.2 million for May through September 2024. Also, we agreed to defer up to $258,000 in consolidated JV income per month
37
related to this JV for October through December 2024. Accordingly, the estimated 2024 consolidated JV deferred income related to this JV is $3.0 million. We also agreed to reduce rent from a lease on an assisted living community operated by ALG to $0 for May through September 2024, with quarterly market-based rent resets thereafter. We wrote-off $321,000 of straight-line rent receivable related to this lease during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Prestige Healthcare
Prestige Healthcare (“Prestige”) operates 21 skilled nursing centers located in Michigan secured under four mortgage loans and two skilled nursing centers located in South Carolina under a master lease. Prestige is our largest operator based upon revenues and assets representing 15.4% of our total revenues and 14.0% of our total assets as of September 30, 2024. During the second quarter of 2023, we agreed to defer up to $1.5 million, or up to $0.3 million per month for May through September 2023, in interest payments due on one of Prestige’s mortgage loans secured by 15 skilled nursing centers in Michigan. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we consented to the sale of one of the 15 skilled nursing centers that secured this mortgage loan and received $2.0 million of partial principal paydown related to the sale. Accordingly, the mortgage loan is secured by 14 skilled nursing centers.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, we amended the mortgage loan with Prestige which was subject to the previously agreed upon interest deferral. Effective January 1, 2024, the minimum mortgage interest payment due to us is based on an annual current pay rate of 8.5% on the outstanding loan balance. The current contractual interest rate on the loan of 10.8% remains unchanged. The amendment also provides us the right to draw on Prestige’s security to pay the difference between the contractual rate and current pay rate.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Prestige increased the security by $2.7 million from its receipt of retroactive Medicaid funds. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2024, we expect to receive approximately $6.0 million of additional security from Prestige from its receipt of retroactive Medicaid payments and the security will continue to increase beginning in January 2025 by 50% of Prestige’s excess cash flow. We received all 2023 contractual interest of $19.5 million due from Prestige after applying $3.4 million of its security. Full contractual interest was received through October 2024 from payments received from Prestige and application of security. We expect to receive full contractual cash interest through at least 2025. The following table summarizes the activity of Prestige’s security (in thousands):

Health Care Regulatory
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) annually updates Medicare SNF prospective payment system rates and other policies. On July 31, 2024, CMS issued a final rule to update SNF rates and policies for the fiscal year 2025. CMS estimated that the updated payment rates would result in a net increase of 4.2%, or approximately $1.4 billion, in Medicare Part A payments to SNFs in fiscal year 2025. CMS stated that its impact figures do not incorporate the SNF Value-Based Purchasing (“VBP”) reductions for certain SNFs subject to the net reduction in payments under the SNF VBP, which are estimated to total $196.5 million in fiscal year 2025. The final rule also changes CMS’s enforcement policies as they relate to imposing civil monetary penalties (“CMPs”) for health and safety violations in nursing homes. In the final rule, CMS expanded the type of CMPs that can be imposed to allow for more per instance and per day CMPs to be imposed, and to permit both types of penalties to be imposed concurrently. In addition, the final rule finalized updates to the SNF Quality Reporting Program (“QRP”) to better account for adverse social conditions that negatively impact individuals’ health or health care. Finally, for the SNF VBP program, CMS finalized several operational and administrative proposals.
On April 22, 2024, CMS issued the Minimum Staffing Standards for Long-Term Care Facilities and Medicaid Institutional Payment Transparency Reporting final rule. The final rule sets forth new comprehensive minimum staffing requirements. It finalizes a total nurse staffing standard of 3.48 hours per resident day, which must include at least 0.55 hours per resident day of direct registered nurse care and 2.45 hours per resident day of direct nurse aide care. Facilities may use any combination of nurse
42
staff (registered nurse, licensed practical nurse and licensed vocational nurse, or nurse aide) to account for the additional 0.48 hours per resident day needed to comply with the total nurse staffing standard. CMS also finalized enhanced facility assessment requirements and a requirement to have a registered nurse onsite 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to provide skilled nursing care. The final rule also provides a staggered implementation timeframe of the minimum nurse staffing standards and 24/7 registered nurse requirement based on geographic location as well as possible exemptions for qualifying facilities for some parts of these requirements based on workforce unavailability and other factors. The final rule has been challenged in federal courts in Texas and Iowa; the rule may be subject to further revision or deferral due to the pending litigation, pending legislation, or administration changes.
There can be no assurance that these rules or future regulations modifying Medicare SNF payment rates or other requirements for Medicare and/or Medicaid participation will not have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our borrowers and lessees which could, in turn, adversely impact the timing or level of their payments to us. Failure by an operator to comply with regulatory requirements can, among other things, jeopardize a facility’s compliance with the conditions of participation under relevant federal and state healthcare programs. Further the ability of our operators to comply with applicable regulations, including minimum staffing requirements, can be adversely impacted by changes in the labor market and increases in inflation.
Key Performance Indicators, Trends and Uncertainties
We utilize several key performance indicators to evaluate the various aspects of our business. These indicators are discussed below and relate to concentration risk and credit strength. Management uses these key performance indicators to facilitate internal and external comparisons to our historical operating results in making operating decisions and for budget planning purposes.
Concentration Risk. We evaluate by gross investment our concentration risk in terms of asset mix, real estate investment mix, operator mix and geographic mix. Concentration risk is valuable to understand what portion of our real estate investments could be at risk if certain sectors were to experience downturns. Asset mix measures the portion of our investments that are real property or mortgage loans. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an organization representing U.S. REITs and publicly traded real estate companies, classifies a company with 50% or more of assets directly or indirectly in the equity ownership of real estate as an equity REIT. Investment mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our various property classifications. Operator mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our top five operators. Geographic mix measures the portion of our real estate investment that relate to our top five states.

Credit Strength. We measure our credit strength both in terms of leverage ratios and coverage ratios. Our leverage ratios include debt to gross asset value and debt to market capitalization. The leverage ratios indicate how much of our Consolidated Balance Sheets capitalization is related to long-term obligations. Our coverage ratios include interest coverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. The coverage ratios indicate our ability to service interest and fixed charges (interest). The coverage ratios are based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) as defined by NAREIT. EBITDAre is calculated as net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) real estate depreciation and amortization, (iv) impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, (v) gains or losses on the sale of depreciable real estate, and (vi) adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Leverage ratios and coverage ratios are widely used by investors, analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. The following table reflects the recent historical trends for our credit strength measures:

EBITDAre is not an alternative to net income, operating income or cash flows from operating activities as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should not rely on EBITDAre as a substitute for any such GAAP financial measures or consider it in isolation, for the purpose of analyzing our financial performance, financial position or cash flows. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDAre. |

We evaluate our key performance indicators in conjunction with current expectations to determine if historical trends are indicative of future results. Our expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. This may be a result of various factors, including, but not limited to
● | The status of the economy; |
● | The status of capital markets, including prevailing interest rates; |
● | Compliance with and changes to regulations and payment policies within the health care industry; |
● | Changes in financing terms; |
● | Competition within the health care and seniors housing industries; and |
● | Changes in federal, state and local legislation. |
Additionally, the effects of inflation, COVID-19 and the pace of recovery from COVID-19 on our operators adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Depending on the future developments regarding inflation, COVID-19 and the pace of recovery from its effects, historical trends reflected in our balance sheet metrics may not be achieved in the future.
Management regularly monitors the economic and other factors listed above. We develop strategic and tactical plans designed to improve performance and maximize our competitive position. Our ability to achieve our financial objectives is dependent upon our ability to effectively execute these plans and to appropriately respond to emerging economic and company-specific trends.

Funds From Operations Available to Common Stockholders
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders, basic FFO attributable to common stockholders per share and diluted FFO attributable to common stockholders per share are supplemental measures of a REIT’s financial performance that are not defined by GAAP. 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 facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods.
We use FFO as a supplemental performance measurement of our cash flow generated by operations. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income available to common stockholders.
We calculate and report FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by NAREIT. FFO, as defined by 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. Our calculation 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 that have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from us; therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing our FFO to that of other REITs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

(1) | Subsequent to September 30, 2024, we used $29,600 of cash on hand to paydown our unsecured revolving line of credit. Accordingly, we have a cash balance of $5,440. See (2) below for further discussion of our unsecured revolving line of credit paydown. |
(2) | Subsequent to September 30, 2024, we repaid $93,800 under our unsecured revolving line of credit. Accordingly, we have $146,350 outstanding and $278,650 available for borrowing under our unsecured revolving line of credit. |
(3) | Subsequent to September 30, 2024, we sold 226,370 shares of common stock for $7,936 in net proceeds under our Equity Distribution Agreements. Accordingly, subsequent to September 30, 2024, we had $1,522 available under the Equity Distribution Agreements. |
(4) | Subsequent to September 30, 2024, we had $285,612 in liquidity. See explanations (1) through (3) above for more information. |
We believe that our current cash balance, cash flow from operations available for distribution or reinvestment, our borrowing capacity and our potential ability to access the capital markets are sufficient to provide for payment of our current operating costs, meet debt obligations and pay common dividends at least sufficient to maintain our REIT status and repay borrowings at, or prior to, their maturity. The timing, source and amount of cash flows used in financing and investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets environment, especially to changes in interest rates. In addition, COVID-19 and inflation have adversely affected our operators’ business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition which could, in turn, adversely affect our financial position.
The operating results of the facilities will be impacted by various factors over which the operators/owners may have no control. Those factors include, without limitation, the health of the economy, inflation pressures, employee availability and cost, changes in supply of or demand for competing seniors housing and health care facilities, ability to hire and maintain qualified staff, ability to control other rising operating costs, and the potential for significant reforms in the health care industry and related occupancy challenges in the governmental regulations and financing of the health care industry or the impact of any other infectious disease and epidemic outbreaks. We cannot presently predict what impact these potential events may have, if any. We believe that adequate provision has been made for the possibility of loans proving uncollectable but we will continually evaluate the financial status of the operations of the seniors housing and health care properties. In addition, we will monitor our borrowers and the underlying collateral for mortgage loans and will make future revisions to the provision, if considered necessary.
Depending on our borrowing capacity, compliance with financial covenants, ability to access the capital markets, and the payment of dividends may be negatively impacted. We continuously evaluate the availability of cost-effective capital and believe we have sufficient liquidity for our current dividend, corporate expenses and additional capital investments in 2024 and 2025.
Our investments, principally our investments in owned properties, financing receivables and mortgage loans, are subject to the possibility of loss of their carrying values as a result of changes in
50
market prices, interest rates and inflationary expectations. The effects on interest rates may affect our costs of financing our operations and the fair market value of our financial assets. Generally, our leases have agreed upon annual increases and our loans have predetermined increases in interest rates. Inasmuch as we may initially fund some of our investments with variable interest rate debt, we would be at risk of net interest margin deterioration if medium and long-term rates were to increase.
Our primary sources of cash include rent and interest receipts, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, public and private issuances of debt and equity securities, proceeds from investment dispositions and principal payments on loans receivable. Our primary uses of cash include dividend distributions, debt service payments (including principal and interest), real property investments (including acquisitions, capital expenditures and construction advances), loan advances and general and administrative expenses. These sources and uses of cash are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as summarized below (in thousands):

Debt Obligations
Unsecured Credit Facility. We had an unsecured credit agreement (the “Original Credit Agreement”) that provided for an aggregate commitment of the lenders of up to $500.0 million comprising of a $400.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Line of Credit”) and two $50.0 million term loans (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans mature on November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026. The Revolving Line of Credit had a maturity date of November 19, 2025 and provided a one-year extension option at our discretion, subject to customary conditions. During the first quarter of 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Original Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to accelerate our one-year extension option notice to January 4, 2024. Concurrently, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date to November 19, 2026. Other material terms of the Original Credit Agreement remained unchanged. The Credit Agreement permitted us to request increases to the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loans commitments up to a total of $1.0 billion (the “Accordion”). As permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we exercised $25.0 million of the available $500.0 million Accordion feature of the Revolving Line of Credit, effective September 30, 2024. Accordingly, the aggregate commitment of the lenders under the Credit Agreement increased to $525.0 million, with $475.0 million remaining available under the Accordion. The exercise of the Accordion did not materially change any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement, including its maturity date or covenant requirements.
Based on our leverage at September 30, 2024, the facility provides for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 110 basis points and a facility fee of 15 basis points and the Term Loans provide for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 125 basis points.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements. In connection with entering into the Term Loans as described above, we entered into two receive variable/pay fixed interest rate swap agreements (the “Interest Rate Swaps”) with maturities of November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026, respectively, that will effectively lock-in the forecasted interest payments on the Term Loans’ borrowings over their four and five year terms of the loans. The Interest Rate Swaps are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair value of these instruments recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three
51
and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a decrease of $2.3 million and $2.5 million in fair value of Interest Rate Swaps, respectively.
As of September 30, 2024, the terms of the Interest Rate Swaps are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

Senior Unsecured Notes. We have senior unsecured notes held by institutional investors with interest rates ranging from 3.66% to 4.5%. The senior unsecured notes mature between 2026 and 2033.
The senior unsecured notes and the Credit Agreement, including the Revolving Line of Credit and the Term Loans, contain financial covenants, which are measured quarterly, that require us to maintain, among other things:
● | a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value not greater than 0.6 to 1.0; |
● | a ratio of secured debt to total asset value not greater than 0.35 to 1.0; |
● | a ratio of unsecured debt to the value of the unencumbered asset value not greater than 0.6 to 1.0; and |
● | a ratio of EBITDA, as calculated in the debt obligation, to fixed charges not less than 1.50 to 1.0. |
At September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. These debt obligations also contain additional customary covenants and events of default that are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.
The debt obligations by component as of September 30, 2024 are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

Equity
At September 30, 2024, we had 45,034,384 shares of common stock outstanding, total equity on our balance sheet $1.0 billion and our equity securities had a market value of $1.7 billion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we declared and paid $74.7 million of cash dividends.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired 49,540 shares of common stock held by employees who tendered owned shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
Subsequent to September 30, 2024, we declared a monthly cash dividend of $0.19 per share on our common stock for the months of October, November and December 2024, payable on October 31, November 29, and December 31, 2024, respectively, to stockholders of record on October 23, November 21, and December 23, 2024, respectively.
At-The-Market Program. We have separate equity distribution agreements (collectively, “Equity Distribution Agreements”) to offer and sell, from time to time, up to $200.0 million in aggregate offering price of shares of our common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we sold 1,886,900 shares of common stock for $65.6 million in net proceeds under our Equity Distribution Agreements. In conjunction with the sale of common stock, we incurred $0.1 million of costs associated with this agreement which have been recorded in additional paid in capital as a reduction of proceeds received. At September 30, 2024, we had $9.6 million available under the Equity Distribution Agreements. Subsequent to September 30, 2024, we sold 226,370 shares of common stock for $7.9 million in net proceeds under our Equity Distribution Agreements. Accordingly, subsequent to September 30, 2024, we had $1.5 million available under the Equity Distribution Agreements.
Available Shelf Registrations. We have an automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC and currently have the ability to file additional automatic shelf registration statements to provide us with capacity to publicly offer an indeterminate amount of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt, depositary shares, or units. We may from time to time raise capital under our automatic registration statement in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of the offering. Our shelf registration statement expires on February 17, 2025.
Stock-Based Compensation. During the second quarter of 2021, we adopted and our shareholders approved the 2021 Equity Participation Plan (“the 2021 Plan”) which replaces the 2015 Equity Participation Plan (“the 2015 Plan”). Under the 2021 Plan, 1,900,000 shares of common stock have been authorized and reserved for awards, less one share for every one share that was subject to an award granted under the 2015 Plan after December 31, 2020 and prior to adoption. In addition, any shares that are not issued under outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan because the shares were forfeited or cancelled after December 31, 2020 will be added to and again be available for awards under the 2021
53
Plan. Under the 2021 Plan, the shares were authorized and reserved for awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The terms of the awards granted under the 2021 Plan and the 2015 Plan are set by our compensation committee at its discretion.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying footnotes. We base these estimates on our experience and assumptions regarding future events we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. We have described our most critical accounting policies in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2023.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There were no material changes in our market risk during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. For additional information, refer to Item 7A as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). As of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are and may become from time to time a party to various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, which in our opinion are not singularly or in the aggregate anticipated to be material to our results of operations or financial condition. Claims and lawsuits may include matters involving general or professional liability asserted against the lessees or borrowers related to our properties, which we believe under applicable legal principles are not our responsibility as a non-possessory landlord or mortgage holder. We believe that these matters are the responsibility of our lessees and borrowers pursuant to general legal principles and pursuant to insurance and indemnification provisions in the applicable leases or mortgages. We intend to continue to vigorously defend such claims and lawsuits.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
