American Healthcare REIT ("AHR") Announces First Quarter 2024 Results
IRVINE, Calif., May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- American Healthcare REIT, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") (NYSE:AHR) announced today its first quarter 2024 results.
Key Highlights:
Reported GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(0.04) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Reported Normalized Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders ("NFFO") of $0.30 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Achieved 7.1% total portfolio Same-Store ("SS") revenue growth for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, largely driven by improved performance in the Company's RIDEA-operated assets.
Achieved total portfolio Same-Store Net Operating Income ("NOI") growth of 13.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, highlighted by 33.5% and 19.9% Same-Store NOI growth from its senior housing operating properties ("SHOP") and integrated senior health campuses ("ISHC"), respectively.
Disposed of approximately $15.6 million of Non-Core Properties across the Company's outpatient medical ("OM") and SHOP segments.
Acquired a 14-property portfolio in Oregon for approximately $94.5 million that is managed by Compass Senior Living in a RIDEA structure.
Completed a public offering of 64.4 million shares of its common stock priced at a public offering price of $12.00 per share and listed such common stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "AHR".
Paid down approximately $721.5 million of outstanding debt obligations carrying a weighted average interest rate of approximately 7.5%, substantially improving leverage metrics and providing the Company with additional borrowing capacity and flexibility.
"After completing our offering and listing event in February, our main focus is on delivering strong operating performance across our property segments. The year is off to a solid start, as we captured outsized growth within our RIDEA-operated assets due to the supply-demand imbalance present in the senior housing industry. Our assets are well positioned and staffed appropriately to capitalize on further near-term demand tailwinds, which we believe will drive additional occupancy gains and rate growth," said Danny Prosky, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.
First Quarter 2024 Results
The Company's active asset management continues to strengthen top-line growth, in addition to effectively managing controllable expenses. In aggregate, NOI growth remains on track to achieve the growth contemplated within the Company's 2024 total portfolio Same-Store NOI growth guidance range.

"Our hands-on active asset management approach is proving its merits, as evidenced by the stellar performance of our recently acquired Oregon portfolio. After only two months of owning and operating the portfolio, with Compass Senior Living as our operating partner, the properties have meaningfully improved bottom-line performance and, while still early, are trending ahead of our initial expectations," said Gabe Willhite, the Company's Chief Operating Officer.
Full Year 2024 Guidance
The Company's following guidance ranges for the year ending December 31, 2024, originally announced on March 21, 2024 in the Company's Fourth Quarter 2023 Earnings Release, remain unchanged:

Certain of the assumptions underlying the Company's 2024 guidance can be found within the Non-GAAP reconciliations in this earnings release and in the appendix of the Company's First Quarter 2024 Supplemental Financial Information ("Supplemental"). A reconciliation of Net Loss calculated in accordance with GAAP to NAREIT FFO and NFFO can be found within the Non-GAAP reconciliations in this earnings release. Non-GAAP financial measures and other terms, as used in this earnings release, are also defined and further explained in the Supplemental. The Company does not provide guidance for the most comparable GAAP financial measures of total revenues and property operating and maintenance expenses. Additionally, a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures of Same-Store NOI growth to the comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because the Company is unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures, including non-recurring and infrequent items that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operations. Such items include, but are not limited to, impairment on depreciated real estate assets, net (gain)/loss on sale of previously depreciated real estate assets, stock-based compensation, casualty loss, non-Same-Store revenues, and non-Same-Store operating expenses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the Company's GAAP results for the guidance period.
Transaction Activity
As previously announced, on February 1, 2024, the Company acquired a senior housing portfolio in Oregon consisting of 856 beds across 14 properties. The total consideration consisted of approximately $94.5 million of assumed debt, plus closing costs, reflecting a price per bed of approximately $110,000. The assumed debt has a fixed interest rate of 4.54% and matures on January 1, 2028. The portfolio is managed by Compass Senior Living through a RIDEA structure. The Company has a longstanding relationship with Compass Senior Living as a tenant in its triple-net leased properties segment and recognized the strength of the operator through the COVID-19 pandemic. The management agreement is the Company's first RIDEA structure with Compass Senior Living, expanding the Company's high-quality operator relationships.
Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company disposed of two Non-Core OM buildings and one Non-Core SHOP facility for approximately $15.6 million in aggregate gross proceeds, of which $11 million was previously announced.
Subsequent to quarter end, through the Company's Trilogy REIT Holdings investment, the Company redeemed all the remaining equity interests in Trilogy owned by members of Trilogy management and certain members of Trilogy's advisory committee. As a result, as of April 15, 2024, the Company owns 76% of Trilogy. As previously reported, the Company also has an option to purchase the remaining 24% of Trilogy that is owned by a joint venture partner until September 30, 2025 at a predetermined price.
Capital Markets and Balance Sheet Activity
As previously announced, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company completed a public offering of 64.4 million shares of its common stock, raising gross offering proceeds of $772.8 million, and listed such common stock on the NYSE under the symbol "AHR". During the quarter, the Company paid down approximately $721.5 million of outstanding debt with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 7.5%. This significant reduction in outstanding debt improved the Company's leverage by meaningfully reducing near-term maturities and high-interest floating-rate debt. Additionally, during the quarter the Company amended its existing credit facility, extending its maturity date and increasing its borrowing capacity to up to $1.15 billion. The credit facility consists of an unsecured revolving credit facility in the initial aggregate amount of $600 million and an unsecured term loan facility in the initial aggregate amount of $550 million. The revolving portion of the credit facility now matures on February 14, 2028, and may be extended for one 12-month period, subject to certain conditions, and the term loan portion of the facility matures on January 19, 2027.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company's total Pro-Rata indebtedness was $1.75 billion, and the Company had approximately $914.5 million of total consolidated liquidity comprised of cash and undrawn capacity on its lines of credit.
"Utilizing proceeds from our public offering in February, we were able to pay down floating-rate indebtedness, bringing our net-debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio down to 6.4x at the end of the first quarter. We believe that the organic earnings growth embedded in our previously announced Normalized FFO and Same-Store portfolio guidance for the remainder of the year should result in further improvement to our leverage ratios," said Brian Peay, the Company's Chief Financial Officer.
Distribution
As previously announced, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash distribution for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $0.25 per share of its common stock, Class T common stock and Class I common stock. The first quarter distribution was paid in cash on April 19, 2024 to stockholders of record as of March 28, 2024.
