Ventas Reports 2016 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results

  • Strong 2016 Earnings Growth
  • Enhanced Balance Sheet and Financial Strength
  • Continued Portfolio Optimization and Accelerated Capital Recycling
  • First Quarter 2017 Dividend of $0.775 Per Share Declared by Board
  • 2017 Guidance Consistent with Preliminary Company Expectations

CHICAGO--()--Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR) (“Ventas” or the “Company”) today announced earnings for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016, driven by the Company’s high-quality healthcare, senior living and life science properties and accretive investments:

  • Income from continuing operations per diluted common share for the full year 2016 grew 36 percent to $1.59 compared to the same period in 2015. The year-over-year increase was principally due to accretive investments, strong property performance, profits and fees from beneficial transactions and lower transaction costs. For the fourth quarter 2016, income from continuing operations per diluted common share was $0.40.
  • Normalized Funds From Operations (“FFO”) for the full year 2016 grew 5 percent to $4.13 per diluted common share on a comparable basis (“Comparable”), which adjusts all prior periods for the effects of the successful spin-off of Care Capital Properties, Inc. (“CCP”) (NYSE: CCP) completed in August 2015. For the fourth quarter 2016, normalized FFO per diluted common share was $1.03.
  • Reported FFO per diluted common share, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT FFO”), for the full year 2016 grew 1 percent to $4.13 compared to the same period in 2015. The 2015 period includes results through August 17, 2015 of the properties that were spun off to CCP. For the fourth quarter 2016, NAREIT FFO per diluted common share was $1.04.

Track Record of Excellence Continued

“Ventas extended its long track record of excellence and success in 2016, generating strong growth and income from a high-quality diverse portfolio while enhancing its financial strength,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Debra A. Cafaro. “We also delivered 16 percent total shareholder return as our exciting investment in life science and innovation centers and strategic dispositions created additional value. We are confident that demand from an aging population combined with our productive and cohesive team, our leading operator partners and our attractive mix of healthcare, senior living and life science properties will sustain excellence over the long term.

“Looking ahead to 2017, we expect to deliver property cash flow growth, improve our portfolio mix as we substantially exit the skilled nursing business, accelerate our investment in future growth through attractive development and redevelopment projects, particularly in our life science and innovation platform, and enhance our financial strength. These steps will advance our position as the premier capital provider to leading healthcare and senior living providers and research institutions. The outstanding Ventas team is excited to continue its long track record of excellence in 2017 and beyond.”

  • To fund investments and enhance the Company’s balance sheet and liquidity profile in 2016, Ventas raised approximately $1.3 billion in aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of 18.9 million shares of common stock at an average gross price of approximately $70 per share; and $850 million in long-term senior notes.
  • The Company sold properties and received final repayment on loans receivable in 2016 for proceeds of approximately $620 million, ahead of previously-disclosed guidance of $500 million. Fourth quarter proceeds approached $350 million.
  • The Company’s credit profile and financial health were outstanding at year end 2016, including:
    • Net Debt to Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA ratio of 5.7x, compared to 6.1x at year end 2015;
    • 38 percent total indebtedness to gross asset value, an improvement of 4 percentage points year-over-year; and

  • The Company currently has over $2 billion of available liquidity.
  • Ventas paid its shareholders dividends of $2.965 per share in 2016, with an attractive payout ratio.
  • The Company demonstrated its commitment to excellence through strong corporate governance, Board of Directors (“Board”) refreshment, director independence and diversity. In 2016 the Board appointed Roxanne M. Martino and Walter C. Rakowich as Ventas directors and James D. Shelton as the Company’s independent presiding director.
  • Ventas Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Debra A. Cafaro was recognized in 2016 as a top global CEO and a leader in the real estate and healthcare industries, including being named by: Forbes as one of the “World’s 100 Most Powerful Women” and first among “Top-Performing Women CEOs, Ranked by Total Return;” the Harvard Business Review as one of “The Best-Performing CEOs in the World,” one of only 30 CEOs named to the Harvard Business Review list for three consecutive years and one of only two women on 2016’s list; and Modern Healthcare as one of the “100 Most Influential People in Healthcare” for 2016, the third time Ms. Cafaro has received this recognition.

Recent Developments

  • The Board declared a dividend for the first quarter 2017 of $0.775 per share, representing a 6 percent increase from the first quarter 2016. The dividend is payable in cash on March 31, 2017 to stockholders of record on March 7, 2017.
  • The Company continues to expect to close on its $700 million loan commitment to fund Ardent Health Services’ (“Ardent’s”) acquisition of LHP Hospital Group (“LHP”) late in the first quarter of 2017, subject to customary regulatory reviews and approvals. Pro forma for the acquisition, Ardent’s leading hospital platform is expected to generate $3 billion in revenues in 6 states.
  • In January 2017, the Company sold assets and received final repayment on loans receivable for proceeds of $88 million, primarily comprised of 5 seniors housing communities at a cap rate of 6 percent on a cash and GAAP basis.

2017 Guidance

Ventas expects 2017 income from continuing operations per diluted common share to range between $1.72 and $1.78. The Company expects normalized FFO per diluted common share to range between $4.12 and $4.18, in line with the Company’s preliminary outlook provided on January 10, 2017. NAREIT FFO per diluted common share is forecast to range between $4.10 and $4.19.

The Company expects full year 2017 cash NOI growth for the 1,163 assets in the full-year same-store pool to range from 1.5 to 2.5 percent, consistent with the Company’s previous outlook. Triple net same-store cash NOI is forecast to grow 2.5 to 3.5 percent driven by lease escalations; SHOP same-store cash NOI is forecast to grow 0 to 2 percent, led by assets in high barrier-to-entry locations; and MOB same-store cash NOI is forecast to grow 1 to 2 percent, supported by new leasing activity.

The Company expects to complete approximately $900 million in strategic dispositions in 2017 (of which $88 million have closed to date), including $700 million in proceeds in the second half of the year through the potential sale of 36 skilled nursing facilities owned by Ventas at a 7 percent cash yield and a gain of over $650 million. Disposition proceeds are expected to be redeployed at approximately the same rate into new 2017 investments approximating $1 billion, principally to scale the Company’s life science and acute care hospital platforms, including $700 million in secured debt financing to fund Ardent’s acquisition of LHP.

During 2017, the Company also expects to invest in future growth by funding approximately $300 million in development and redevelopment projects, including attractive new ground-up life science developments.

During 2017, the Company expects to refinance approximately $1 billion of current debt and lengthen the Company’s weighted average maturity schedule. The 2017 outlook assumes 358.5 million weighted average fully-diluted shares, with no new equity issuance in 2017.

Consistent with its practice, the Company’s guidance does not include any further material investments, dispositions or capital activity. A reconciliation of the Company’s guidance to the Company’s projected GAAP measures is included in this press release.

The Company’s guidance is based on a number of other assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside the control of the Company. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company’s expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors deem presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For that reason, the Company considers FFO, normalized FFO, FAD and normalized FAD to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance of an equity REIT. In particular, the Company believes that normalized FFO is useful because it allows investors, analysts and Company management to compare the Company’s operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by non-recurring items and other non-operational events such as transactions and litigation. In some cases, the Company provides information about identified non-cash components of FFO and normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and Company management to assess the impact of those items on the Company’s financial results.

The Company uses the NAREIT definition of FFO. NAREIT defines FFO as net income attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate property, including gain (or loss) on re-measurement of equity method investments, and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company defines normalized FFO as FFO excluding the following income and expense items (which may be recurring in nature): (a) merger-related costs and expenses, including amortization of intangibles, transition and integration expenses, and deal costs and expenses, including expenses and recoveries relating to acquisition lawsuits; (b) the impact of any expenses related to asset impairment and valuation allowances, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, or additional costs, expenses, discounts, make-whole payments, penalties or premiums incurred as a result of early retirement or payment of the Company’s debt; (c) the non-cash effect of income tax benefits or expenses, the non-cash impact of changes to the Company’s executive equity compensation plan and derivative transactions that have non-cash mark-to-market impacts on the Company’s income statement; (d) the financial impact of contingent consideration, severance-related costs and charitable donations made to the Ventas Charitable Foundation; (e) gains and losses for non-operational foreign currency hedge agreements and changes in the fair value of financial instruments; (f) gains and losses on non-real estate dispositions and other unusual items related to unconsolidated entities; and (g) expenses related to the re-audit and re-review in 2014 of the Company’s historical financial statements and related matters. Normalized FAD represents normalized FFO excluding non-cash components, straight-line rental adjustments and deducting capital expenditures, including tenant allowances and leasing commissions. FAD represents normalized FAD after subtracting merger-related expenses, deal costs and re-audit costs.

FFO, normalized FFO, FAD and normalized FAD presented herein may not be identical to those presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. FFO, normalized FFO, FAD and normalized FAD should not be considered as alternatives to net income or income from continuing operations (both determined in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of the Company’s financial performance or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of the Company’s liquidity, nor are they necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs. The Company believes that income from continuing operations is the most comparable GAAP measure because it provides insight into the Company’s continuing operations. The Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating results of the Company, FFO, normalized FFO, FAD and normalized FAD should be examined in conjunction with net income and income from continuing operations as presented elsewhere herein.

Net Debt to Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA

 
The following information considers the pro forma effect on income from continuing operations of the Company’s investments and other capital transactions that were completed during the three months ended December 31, 2016, as if the transactions had been consummated as of the beginning of the period. The following table illustrates net debt to pro forma earnings, which includes amounts in discontinued operations, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash stock-based compensation expense), excluding gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, consolidated joint venture partners’ share of EBITDA, merger-related expenses and deal costs, expenses related to the re-audit and re-review in 2014 of the Company’s historical financial statements, net gains or losses on real estate activity, gains or losses on re-measurement of equity interest upon acquisition, changes in the fair value of financial instruments and unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, and including the Company’s share of EBITDA from unconsolidated entities and adjustments for other immaterial or identified items (“Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA”) (dollars in thousands). The Company believes that net debt, Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA and net debt to Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA are important supplemental measures in evaluating the credit strength of the Company and its ability to service its debt obligations. The Company believes that net debt, Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA and net debt to Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA are useful to investors, analysts and Company management because they allow the comparison of the Company’s credit strength between periods and to other real estate companies without the effect of items that by their nature are not comparable from period to period and tend to obscure the Company’s actual credit quality. For a reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2015, please refer to the reconciliation included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 12, 2016, which reconciliation is hereby incorporated by reference.

Net Operating Income (NOI) and Same-Store Cash NOI by Segment

(Dollars in thousands)

 

The Company considers NOI and same-store cash NOI as important supplemental measures because they allow investors, analysts and the Company’s management to assess its unlevered property-level operating results and to compare its operating results with those of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis. The Company defines NOI as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and office building services costs. In the case of NOI, cash receipts may differ due to straight-line recognition of certain rental income and the application of other GAAP policies. The Company believes that income from continuing operations is the most comparable GAAP measure for both NOI and same-store cash NOI because it provides insight into the Company’s continuing operations. The Company defines same-store as properties owned, consolidated and operational for the full period in both comparison periods, and excluding assets intended for disposition, and for SHOP, those properties that transitioned operators after the start of the prior comparison period. To normalize for exchange rate movements, all same-store cash NOI measures assume constant exchange rates across comparable periods, using the following methodology: the current period’s results are shown in actual reported USD, while prior comparison period’s results are adjusted and converted to USD based on the average exchange rate for the current period.
