Five Star Senior Living Announces Third Quarter 2020 Results

11/5/20

NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Five Star Senior Living Inc. (Nasdaq: FVE) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Katherine Potter, President and Chief Executive Officer, made the following statement regarding the third quarter 2020 results:

“Five Star’s third quarter significant positive cash flow and year-over-year growth in Adjusted EBITDA and net income reflect the benefits of the restructuring of our business arrangements with Diversified Healthcare Trust, effective January 1, 2020, particularly in light of the ongoing adverse effects across the senior living industry from the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, our rehabilitation and wellness services division grew operating income over 170% as compared to the same period last year and continues to meaningfully contribute to our overall positive performance. Our balance sheet remains strong with $95.8 million of unrestricted cash and no amounts outstanding on our revolving credit facility.

Operationally, we continue to adapt to the evolving impact of the pandemic. I remain inspired by the dedication of our team members. As always, our priority continues to be the health and wellness of our residents, clients and team members.”

Overview and Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2020:

  • During the third quarter of 2020, FVE continued with a phased re-opening plan for its senior living communities consistent with federal, state and local regulations and internal criteria. At September 30, 2020, 96% of senior living communities were accepting new residents in at least one service line of business (independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing or memory care). Occupancy declines at the communities FVE owns, operates and manages have decelerated compared to the second quarter of 2020. Despite this deceleration, FVE continued to experience declines in average monthly senior living revenue per available unit (RevPAR) throughout the quarter due to occupancy challenges. In contrast, FVE's rehabilitation and wellness services segment grew by adding three net new outpatient rehabilitation clinics and experienced a 6.3% increase in average daily clinic visits in the quarter compared to the second quarter of 2020. Overall, FVE continues to experience increased costs associated with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that are expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2020.
  • Combined senior living revenues and management fees for communities FVE leased from Diversified Healthcare Trust, or DHC, prior to January 1, 2020, and now manages on behalf of DHC, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, decreased to $33.8 million from $261.7 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to the conversion of the formerly leased senior living communities to managed communities as a result of the Restructuring Transactions, as described in the Selected Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information and Other Data in the Supplemental Information of this press release. Additionally, the decline in revenues as compared to the same period of the prior year are impacted by the sale of 15 communities in the third quarter of 2019 that FVE previously leased from DHC. Senior living revenues at communities FVE leased or owned continuously since July 1, 2019 were $18.5 million, which represents a $2.0 million or 9.8% decrease from the same period in 2019, primarily due to a decline in occupancy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Rehabilitation and wellness services revenues for the third quarter of 2020 increased to $21.1 million from $12.4 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to the impact of $5.8 million of inpatient rehabilitation clinic revenue at communities FVE previously leased from DHC during the third quarter of 2019, which was previously eliminated in consolidation accounting prior to the Restructuring Transactions, as well as the opening of 36 net new outpatient clinics since the third quarter of 2019. Revenues increased $2.9 million compared to the September 30, 2019 pro forma results primarily attributable to opening 35 net new clinics since July 1, 2019.
  • Net income for the third quarter of 2020 was $3.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the September 30, 2019 pro forma results.
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, for the third quarter of 2020 was $7.1 million compared to $7.3 million for the September 30, 2019 pro forma results. Adjusted EBITDA, as described further below, was $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $7.2 million for the September 30, 2019 pro forma results. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of net income determined in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both actual and pro forma results, for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are presented later in this press release.
  • As of September 30, 2020, FVE had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $95.8 million, of which $12.9 million related to funds received from DHC to fund working capital obligations. In addition, FVE had no amounts outstanding on its revolving credit facility and $7.3 million outstanding on one mortgage note.
