STRATEGIC REVIEW UPDATE
As previously announced on
In connection with the strategic review, the Company retained
The strategic review has been a multi-step process. As part of the strategic review, in
1. Plan to Internalize Management
On
Currently, New Senior is externally managed and advised by the Manager, subject to oversight by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”), the Manager provides the Company with a management team, other personnel and corporate infrastructure. Accordingly, all of the individuals who provide services to the Company are currently employees of the Manager. In exchange for the Manager’s services, the Company pays the Manager certain fees, including a management fee and, subject to performance, an incentive fee. The Company also reimburses the Manager for certain costs.
The internalization is expected to result in the following changes:
- Management Agreement. The Management Agreement is expected to be terminated, and the Company is expected to pay total consideration to the Manager of
$50 million consisting of$10 million in cash and$40 million in preferred stock with an expected rate of 6% per annum. The preferred stock is expected to be redeemable by the Company at any time; in addition, the Manager is expected to be able to cause the Company to redeem 50% of the preferred stock beginning at the end of 2020, and the other 50% beginning at the end of 2021. For a transition period following the internalization, the Manager is expected to continue to provide certain services, at cost, pursuant to a transition services agreement. - People. The Company expects to become the employer of the individuals who perform services on its behalf. The Special Committee anticipates that the post-internalization management team will include several key employees of the Manager. Personnel decisions are expected to be finalized prior to entering into a definitive agreement with the Manager.
The internalization is expected to have the following key benefits:
- Cost-Savings. The Company estimates that the internalization will result in a reduction in general and administrative expenses of approximately
$10 million per year. - Simplicity and Transparency. The internalization is expected to simplify the Company’s organizational structure and increase the transparency of its financial results.
- Expanded Institutional Ownership. New Senior’s institutional ownership base could expand as a result of increased comparability with its peers in the healthcare REIT sector.
- Continued Manager Support. The Company expects to receive support from the Manager for certain functions during a transition period following the internalization.
The internalization is one of several types of transactions that were given thorough consideration by the
2. Refinancing
The Company expects to refinance a
The refinancing is expected to generate meaningful interest rate savings of more than
The Company expects to complete the refinancing during the fourth quarter of 2018. The refinancing is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance that the refinancing will be completed as expected or at all.
3. Dividend
As previously disclosed, the Board has been actively reviewing the Company’s dividend policy. Dividend coverage has been an ongoing focus as the Company’s payout level relative to earnings has steadily increased. After careful consideration of the potential impact of the strategic initiatives announced to date, as well as the Company’s potential for organic growth, investment and other initiatives, the Board has determined to re-set the dividend to more closely align the Company’s payout ratios with its industry peers. Accordingly, the Board declared a cash dividend of

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The tables above set forth reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
A non-GAAP financial measure is a measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not excluded from or included in the most comparable GAAP measure. We consider certain non-GAAP financial measures to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. GAAP accounting for real estate assets assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, even though real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, many industry investors look to non-GAAP financial measures for supplemental information about real estate companies.
You should not consider non-GAAP measures as alternatives to GAAP net (loss) income, which is an indicator of our financial performance, or as alternatives to GAAP cash flow from operating activities, which is a liquidity measure, nor are non-GAAP measures necessarily indicative of our ability to satisfy our funding requirements. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, you should examine our non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP net (loss) income as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this report. Moreover, the comparability of non-GAAP financial measures across companies may be limited as a result of differences in the manner in which real estate companies calculate such measures, the capital structure of such companies or other factors.
Below is a description of the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein.
NOI and Cash NOI
The Company evaluates the performance of each of its two business segments based on NOI. The Company defines NOI as total revenues less property-level operating expenses, which include property management fees and travel cost reimbursements. The sum of the NOI for each segment is total NOI, which the Company uses to evaluate the aggregate performance of its segments.
The Company defines Cash NOI as NOI excluding the effects of straight-line rent, amortization of above / below market lease intangibles and amortization of deferred community fees and other, which includes the net change in deferred community fees and other rent discounts or incentives. We believe that NOI and Cash NOI serve as useful supplemental measures to net income because they allow investors, analysts and management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare our operating results between periods and to the operating results of other real estate companies on a consistent basis.
Same store NOI and same store cash NOI include only properties owned for the entirety of comparable periods. Properties acquired, sold, transitioned to other operators or between segments, classified as held for sale during the comparable periods are excluded from the same store amounts. Accordingly, same store results exclude the performance of the Holiday portfolio that was transitioned from the Triple
FFO and Other Non-GAAP Measures
We use Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Normalized FFO as supplemental measures of our operating performance. We use the
Normalized FFO, as defined below, measures the financial performance of our portfolio of assets excluding items that, although incidental to, are not reflective of the day-to-day operating performance of our portfolio of assets. We believe that Normalized FFO is useful because it facilitates the evaluation of our portfolio’s operating performance (i) between periods on a consistent basis and (ii) to the operating performance of other real estate companies. However, comparability may be limited because our calculation of Normalized FFO may differ significantly from that of other companies, or because of features of our business that are not present in other companies.
We define Normalized FFO as FFO excluding the following income and expense items, as applicable: (a) acquisition, transaction
and integration related expenses; (b) the write off of unamortized discounts, premiums, deferred financing costs, or additional costs, make whole payments and penalties or premiums incurred as the result of early repayment of debt (collectively
“Gain (Loss) on extinguishment of debt”); (c) incentive compensation recognized as a result of sales of real estate; (d) the remeasurement of deferred tax assets; (e) gain on lease termination; and (f) other items that we believe are not indicative of operating performance, generally reported as “Other (income) expense” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Management also uses AFFO and Normalized FAD as supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performance.
We define AFFO as Normalized FFO excluding the impact of the following: (a) straight-line rents; (b) amortization of above / below market lease intangibles; (c) amortization of deferred financing costs; (d) amortization of premium on mortgage notes payable and (e) amortization of deferred community fees and other, which includes the net change in deferred community fees and other rent discounts or incentives. We believe AFFO is useful because it facilitates the evaluation of (i) the current economic return on our portfolio of assets between periods on a consistent basis and (ii) our portfolio versus those of other real estate companies that report AFFO. However, comparability may be limited because our calculation of AFFO may differ significantly from that of other companies, or because of features of our business that are not present in other companies.
We define Normalized FAD as AFFO less routine capital expenditures, which we view as a cost associated with the current economic return. Normalized FAD, which does not reflect debt principal payments and certain other expenses, does not represent cash available for distribution to shareholders.
