Deal of the Week
Most county owned and operated skilled nursing facilities that are sold are losing money, and sometimes a lot of money. But at the end of 2104, an upstate New York facility with 216 beds was sold for $16.0 million, or $74,100 per bed, and it actually made a profit. Although it was built in 1960, there had been major renovations and additions in the past 15 years, adding more than 47,000 square feet and replacing most of the heating and HVAC systems, among other improvements. Occupancy averages 95% with a 75% Medicaid census. It had a positive operating margin of about 2.2%, but under private ownership, pro forma revenues and EBITDA should be close to $19.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively. That represents practically no change in revenues but a $2.0 million positive swing in cash flow. The deal came with a 2.6% cap rate on existing cash flow, and a 15.6% cap rate on pro forma cash flow. Guess how the buyer, a private family operator in New York, looked at it.

Financing of the Week
In another instance of a not-for-profit going to HUD for a refinance, Aaron Becker of Lancaster Pollard helped refinance two SNFs (a 167-bed SNF in Quincy, Massachusetts and a 138-bed SNF in Brockton, Massachusetts) for Alliance Health and Human Services, a nonprofit provider of senior care and therapeutic foster care for children with medical and/or emotional needs. In 1999, Alliance issued $38 million in publicly offered, tax-exempt bonds for the construction of the Quincy property and the acquisition and renovation of the Brockton property. Both properties were cross-collateralized through terms outlined in the bond indenture and were required to be refinanced simultaneously. However, the properties were highly-leveraged, and the Brockton community did not meet HUD’s LTV limitation. As a result, LP provided a $23.2 million fully amortizing HUD loan with a 35-year term and a 3.72% rate for the Quincy property and a separate $5.3 million bridge-to-agency loan which will be taken to HUD once it fulfills the underwriting requirements. The blended rate of the two loans reduced Alliance’s cost of capital from 7.75% to under 4.75%, which generates annual debt service savings of over $1 million………………………..Want to read more news?

Start of the Week
The Ensign Group has not wasted any time. Effective January 1, the company closed on four separate acquisitions in three states. The largest was a post-acute campus in Pueblo, Colorado that includes a 60-bed skilled nursing facility, an 81-bed skilled nursing facility with a subacute unit, and a small 17-bed independent and assisted living operation, all on the same campus. It also bought a 103-bed SNF in Lubbock, Texas that is on the campus of Texas Tech University. Also in Lubbock, it purchased a hospice that serves patients throughout the South Plains area of Northwest Texas. Finally, Ensign bought a Medicare and Medicaid home health agency located in Scottsdale, Arizona. All of these acquisitions are expected to be accretive to 2015 earnings. More importantly, it is a strong signal for a busy year of acquisitions and growth for the company, which has been a top performer in the equity market……………………….Want to read more news?
