VIUM Capital Adds Four Bankers
After a successful inaugural year in business, VIUM Capital clearly has ambitions for much more. The firm, which was started in April 2020 by Steve Kennedy and Kass Matt, just hired four more experienced bankers to join its roster. Columbus, OH-based Chris Blanda and Brendan Healy, Austin, TX-based Scott Blount, and Boca Raton, FL-based Tony Ruberg all joined VIUM as Senior Managing Directors. Together, these four have closed over $3 billion of seniors housing and healthcare financings across their combined half century of industry experience. Both Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Matt came from Lancaster Pollard, and so did these four new hires, although Mr. Ruberg had a year as... Read More »

“Going Concern” Problem For Capital Senior Living
Perhaps in an effort not to rattle the market, Capital Senior Living filed its first quarter 2021 10-Q after the markets closed on Friday, May 14. Perhaps they thought no one would notice as many were out celebrating the removal of their masks. Not that it should have been a surprise, but in the filing the company reiterated its dreaded “Going Concern” statement, meaning there are enough uncertainties about current events and conditions that raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within a year. No one should be surprised, other than those who have been pushing the price up in the past month. Helloooo. Last week after reviewing the financial... Read More »
Canadian Seniors Housing Market
The Canadian seniors housing market has fared a bit better than its U.S. counterpart during the past year or so, but it also started in a better place. Take the Canadian SHOP portfolio of Ventas. It currently has 74 communities that operated in the first quarter 2021 with net operating income of $171.8 million, or just over $2.3 million per community (all amounts in U.S. dollars). This compares with 364 communities with $272.7 million of NOI in the first quarter for the U.S. SHOP portfolio, or $749,000 per community. So, Canada makes up 17% of the communities but 39% of the NOI. Hmmm. On a same-community basis, there were 68 Canadian communities in the first quarter last year... Read More »
SavaSeniorCare Sells a Couple of Illinois SNFs
SavaSeniorCare sold a couple of its Illinois properties, part of its plan to transfer the operations of some 48 facilities in its portfolio by the end of 2021. The deal represents the company’s last two properties in the Land of Lincoln. First, it is handing over the keys of its 74-bed subacute/skilled nursing facility in Mount Vernon, Illinois, to a Midwest-based regional owner/operator.

Lab and X-ray services are also... Read More »
Monarch Advisors Secures Revolving Line of Credit
Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors closed a revolving line of credit for the operator of five skilled nursing facilities in southern Illinois, the purpose being to fund working capital costs across the portfolio. The borrower is based in Chicago and has operated the buildings for more than 10 years. They total about 600 beds and tended to be older, more rural facilities. Mr. Blanc secured a commitment from a national commercial finance company to provide a $2.75 million loan that allows advances up to 85% of the net collective value of accounts receivable. The non-recourse financing also came with a two-year, interest-only term and a floating rate. Read More »Recent Senior Care M&A Deals, Week Ending May 14, 2021

Are More Capital Senior Living Problems Coming Due?
Capital Senior Living released its first quarter earnings this week, and the results were sort of a mixed bag. Of course, the occupancy results were great news, with April average census rising 140 basis points from the Q1 average to 76.95%. And spot occupancy increased from 75.3% at the end of February to 78.5% by the end of April, for a 320-basis point increase. We’re not sure if we’ve seen a steeper increase. About 93% of residents are now vaccinated, COVID cases fell to zero across the 60 owned communities, and 100% of communities are open to new residents, so the runway to recovery is smoother. Looking forward, CSU will also not be encumbered by the 39... Read More »
