CIBC Closes Loans For Three SNFs

CIBC Closes Cash-Out Financing In Illinois

CIBC Closes Cash-Out Financing In Illinois

Working on behalf of a local owner/operator, CIBC Bank USA has closed a cash-out refinance of a portfolio of three skilled nursing facilities in Illinois. Totaling $11 million, the loan comes with a five-year term. Neal Netzel and Mathew Tyler handled the transaction for CIBC.   These facilities, which have an effective age of 30 years, total 260 beds. They have been historically well occupied around 85%, which is a solid figure for the sector in the last several years. Also, EBITDAR margins have been strong in the mid-teens. Most operators would happily take that. With those good operations, we imagine the owner was able to extract some equity from the... Read More »

CIBC Bank USA Refinances Two Tennessee SNFs

Two skilled nursing facilities in Tennessee recently refinanced their debt with the help of CIBC Bank USA. Totaling 340 licensed beds with an effective age of 20 years, the facilities have been run by a local operator for a number of years. Under that management, effective occupancy has been in the 70% range, with EBITDAR margins in the high-teens, which is quite good for SNFs these days.   With that lower occupancy, we’re guessing there was a healthy Medicare and/or private pay patient census. Ownership obtained a five-year, $20 million loan on the real estate, also giving them some cash out. CIBC Bank USA also helped secured a $1.0 million capital expenditures facility for... Read More »
