Sonida Senior Living, Inc. (“Sonida” or the “Company”) (NYSE:
SNDA), a leading owner, operator and investor in communities and
services for seniors, today provided an update on its recently
closed acquisitions and capital markets activity.
“Both of these transactions continue our value-creating,
external growth strategy that is capitalizing on historically
favorable senior housing trends through geographic densification,
creative deal structuring and expansion of our best-in-class
operating platform,” said Brandon Ribar, President and Chief
Executive Officer. “We are excited about our current and active
investment pipeline as well as the overall transaction
environment.”
Capital Allocation – Acquired
Eight-Asset Senior Housing Portfolio in the
Southeast
On October 1, 2024, the Company finalized the previously
announced acquisition of eight senior living communities
strategically located in attractive submarkets in the Southeast.
The portfolio is comprised of 555 units with Assisted Living (“AL”)
and Memory Care (“MC”) offerings (approximately 70% AL and 30% MC)
in northern Florida and South Carolina. The eight communities are
located in high growth primary and secondary metropolitan areas
with favorable growth prospects: Jacksonville, Orlando and Daytona
Beach (Florida); Hilton Head, Charleston and Florence (South
Carolina).
These communities will further modernize Sonida’s portfolio and
densify its presence in the Southeast, which will allow Sonida to
fully leverage its operating scale. The eight-asset portfolio has
an attractive average asset age of five years, which compares
favorably to an average asset age of 19 years for comparable
inventory within a 10-mile radius.
Sonida’s purchase price of $102.9 million, or approximately
$185,000 per unit, reflects a significant discount to the Company’s
estimate of replacement cost. The portfolio’s in-place occupancy is
approximately 85% with an average RevPOR of more than $6,000. The
Company anticipates that the portfolio will be accretive to the
Company’s effective cap rate going-in and following a multi-year
stabilization period.
As of today, Sonida’s total operating portfolio is now comprised
of 91 communities (including eight communities in which the Company
owns varying interests through two separate joint ventures).
Capital Allocation – Signs Purchase
Agreement to Acquire Two Atlanta-Based Properties
On October 1, 2024, the Company signed a purchase and sale
agreement to acquire two senior living communities in the Atlanta,
GA market for $29.0 million. Sonida intends to fund the transaction
with cash on its balance sheet and proceeds from its senior secured
revolving credit facility. The assets have an average age of five
years and will add 178 units (106 AL and 72 MC) to Sonida’s
portfolio. Consistent with the Company’s focus on regional
densification, the acquisition brings Sonida’s Atlanta portfolio
total to three assets and further grows its exposure to highly
attractive Southeast markets. The portfolio’s in-place occupancy
and average RevPOR are 86% and more than $5,700, respectively.
Sonida’s purchase price is approximately $173,000 per unit, which
reflects a significant discount to the Company’s estimate of
replacement cost and expands Sonida’s accretive acquisitions
year-to-date as the Company capitalizes on historically favorable
senior housing trends.
Capital Markets – Closed Additional $75
Million on Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
On October 3, 2024, the Company closed on an additional $75
million commitment under the senior secured revolving credit
facility (the “Credit Facility”) it entered with BMO Bank N.A. on
July 24, 2024. The incremental $75 million availability, which was
provided by the Royal Bank of Canada, results in a total aggregate
commitment under the Credit Facility of up to $150 million. The
Credit Facility has a term of three years, a leverage-based pricing
matrix between S+210 and S+260 and is fully recourse to Sonida
Senior Living, Inc. and its applicable subsidiaries.
