Ventas Posts Solid Q3 Results
Welltower came out of the blocks first with its third quarter results, and it was quite impressive. The second largest healthcare REIT, Ventas, reported at the end of last week, and while the results were not quite as good as Welltower’s, it was close, and Ventas should be happy with the continued improvement. For Ventas, same-community occupancy in its SHOP portfolio increased sequentially by 30 basis points and year-over-year by 110 basis points to 83.6%, helped by its Canadian portfolio at 95%. Even though Welltower posted larger same-community sequential and year-over-year increases of 120 basis points and 220 basis points, respectively, its overall occupancy is lower at 81.7%. ...

Shazam: Welltower Outperforms in Q3
We figured that Welltower’s seniors housing operating portfolio (SHOP) would continue to improve after the second quarter, but let’s just say the improvement was better than we thought it would be, and probably better than most everyone else thought as well. On a same-community basis, SHOP occupancy surged by 120 basis points sequentially to 81.7%, and by 220 basis points year over year. The always-strong third quarter was good to them. Occupancy, however, was not the highlight. Same-community SHOP revenues increased year over year by 9.8% while operating expenses increased by just 5.1%. It makes sense that the spread between RevPOR and ExPOR should widen as census grows above 80%. This... Read More »
60 Seconds with Swett: Gloom Prevails at the NIC Conference
As always, it was great to see so many of our industry friends, and plenty of new faces, at the NIC Conference in Chicago last week. And typical of most conferences, many asked us what we thought the mood of the conference was. We wondered if it would be at all better than the grim 2022 Fall conference when the capital markets had fundamentally shifted for the worse. Unfortunately, we cannot say it was better than that. With the 10-year Treasury rate touching 5% at the start of the conference and consistent signals from the Fed that interest rates would be “higher, for longer,” any hope for an improving capital markets environment unleashing a flood of financings and M&A (at higher...

LTC Properties Comes Out with Q3 Earnings
LTC Properties came out with its third quarter earnings on October 26, and the REIT’s loan origination program, which grew at a time when making acquisitions did not make as much financial sense, is continuing to pay off. Q3 net income was boosted by higher interest income from a variety of sources. There was financing receivables due to the acquisition of 11 assisted living/memory care communities in the first quarter of 2023 and three skilled nursing facilities in the third quarter of 2022. Higher interest income also came from mortgage loan originations in Q1:23 and a $17.0 million mezzanine loan origination in Q3:23. An affiliate of Galerie Living received that loan to recapitalize and... Read More »
Ensign’s Q3:23 Earnings Are Released
The Ensign Group came out with its third quarter earnings on October 25, and the results were mostly positive. GAAP diluted earnings per share rose 12.1% over the previous third quarter to $1.11. However, that was off $0.01 compared with the second quarter. On an adjusted basis, EPS rose to $1.20 in Q3:23, up 15.4% from Q3:22 and up 3.4% from Q2:23. The company’s share price dropped by just 0.7% on a down day for the market. Adjusted EBITDAR also increased to $158.4 million for the third quarter, or $633.6 million on an annualized basis. Revenues soared from $770 million in Q3:22 to $940.8 million in Q3:23 on the back of higher reimbursement, new acquisitions and increased census.... Read More »Schedule a demo
