Sonida Senior Living, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") (NYSE:SNDA), a leading owner-operator and investor in communities and services for seniors, today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

"We achieved strong across-the-board results during the first quarter of 2024, executing on our key financial and operational priorities with year-over-year occupancy, revenue and community net operating income all demonstrating continued growth. With our recent balance sheet and liquidity advancements, Sonida has meaningfully positioned itself for strategic expansion and continued momentum, with an eye on shareholder value creation into the second quarter and beyond. I am truly proud of our team, as our inherent focus on serving seniors with our signature programs and services is clearly being reflected in the strength of our performance," said Brandon Ribar, President and CEO.

First Quarter Highlights

Liquidity significantly improved in Q1 2024 with our private placement transaction of 5,026,318 shares of common stock at $9.50 a share (the "Private Placement") completed in February and March of 2024 resulting in gross cash proceeds of $47.8 million.
On April 1, 2024, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Mizuho Securities USA LLC, whereby the Company may sell, at its option, shares of its common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $75,000,000 ("ATM Sales Agreement"). An additional $10.3 million of net proceeds were raised in April 2024 through our ATM Sales Agreement.
Using proceeds from the Private Placement, purchased $74.4 million of the outstanding principal balance with Protective Life ("Protective Life Loan Purchase") for $40.2 million, resulting in a decrease in notes payable of $49.6 million.
Weighted average occupancy for the Company's consolidated portfolio increased 200 basis points to 85.9%, comparing Q1 2024 to Q1 2023.
Resident revenue increased $4.1 million, or 7.3%, comparing Q1 2024 to Q1 2023.
Net income for the Q1 2024 was $27.0 million which includes a $38.1 million gain on debt extinguishment in connection with the Protective Life Loan Purchase.
Q1 2024 Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $9.5 million representing an increase of 21.5% year-over-year and 1.8% in sequential quarters, driven primarily by continued improvement in operations.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2023

Revenues

Resident revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $60.7 million as compared to $56.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $4.1 million, or 7.3%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased occupancy and increased average rent rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company received approximately $2.0 million, in various relief funds received from state departments due to financial distress impacts of COVID-19 ("State Relief Funds"). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company received no State Relief Funds.

Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $46.3 million as compared to $43.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $2.5 million, or 5.7%. The increase is attributable to the increase in total labor over this period.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $7.2 million as compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $0.1 million. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in labor and employee related expenses of $0.6 million, partially offset by decreases in stock-based compensation of $0.3 million and other expenses of $0.2 million.

Gain on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $38.1 million as compared to $36.3 million for three months ended March 31, 2023. The 2024 gain relates to the derecognition of notes payable and liabilities as a result of the Protective Life Loan Purchase. The 2023 gain relates to the derecognition of notes payable and liabilities as a result of the transition of legal ownership of two communities to the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae").

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company reported net income of $27.0 million and $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $9.5 million compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven primarily by continued improvement in operations. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Subsequent Events

Liquidity

During 2023, the Company's liquidity conditions, including operating losses and a net working capital deficit, raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of increases in occupancy in 2023 and 2024, annual rental rate increases in March 2024 and the Private Placement and Protective Life Loan Purchase, the Company has substantially improved its liquidity position. In addition, $10.3 million of net proceeds were raised in April 2024 through our at-the-market equity offering. See details below of the transactions which have increased cash on hand significantly. Based on these events, the Company concluded it has adequate cash to meet its obligations as they become due for the 12-month period following the date the March 31, 2024 financial statements are issued.

Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock

On March 21, 2024, following receipt of stockholder approval at the Special Meeting of the Company's stockholders held on March 21, 2024, the Company filed an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Delaware Secretary of State to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 15,000,000 shares to 30,000,000 shares. The charter amendment became effective upon filing.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On February 1, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with affiliates of Conversant Capital and several other shareholders (together, the "Investors"), pursuant to which the Investors agreed to purchase from the Company, and the Company agreed to sell to the Investors, in a private placement transaction pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, an aggregate of 5,026,318 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $9.50 per share.

The Private Placement occurred in two closings. The Company issued and sold an aggregate of 3,350,878 shares to the Investors and received gross cash proceeds of $31.8 million at the first closing, which was completed on February 1, 2024. The Company issued the remaining 1,675,440 shares to the Investors and received additional gross cash proceeds of $15.9 million at the second closing, which occurred on March 22, 2024. The Company intends to use this new capital for working capital, continued investments in community improvements, potential acquisitions of new communities, broader community programming and other general corporate purposes.

Protective Life Loan Purchase

On February 2, 2024, the Company completed the Protective Life Loan Purchase of the total outstanding principal balance of $74.4 million from Protective Life Insurance Company ("Protective Life") that was secured by seven of the Company's senior living communities for a purchase price of $40.2 million. In addition to aggregate deposits of $1.5 million made in December 2023 and January 2024, the Company funded the remaining cash portion of the purchase price (including one-time closing costs) with $15.4 million of net proceeds from the sale of the shares at the first closing of the Private Placement. The Company obtained additional debt proceeds through its existing loan facility with Ally Bank for the remaining portion of the purchase price, as described below. The Company terminated these loans after completion of the loan purchase from Protective Life.

Ally Term Loan Expansion

On February 2, 2024, in connection with the Protective Life Loan Purchase, the Company expanded its outstanding term loan with Ally Bank by $24.8 million, which was secured by six of the Company's senior living communities within the Protective Life Loan Purchase. As part of the loan amendment with Ally, the Company also increased its interest rate cap coverage to include the additional borrowings at a cost of $0.6 million.

Cash flows

The table below presents a summary of the Company's net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities (in thousands):

	Three months ended March 31,
		2024			2023		$ Change
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(4,105	)	$	3,249		$	(7,354	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(5,131	)		(5,086	)		(45	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		29,149			(3,759	)		32,908
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	19,913		$	(5,596	)	$	25,509

In addition to $24.2 million of unrestricted cash on hand as of March 31, 2024, our future liquidity will depend in part upon our operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions, and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Principal sources of liquidity are expected to be cash flows from operations, proceeds from equity offerings, proceeds from debt refinancings or loan modifications, and proceeds from the sale of owned assets.

In addition to the Private Placement and Ally term loan expansion on April 1, 2024, the Company entered into the At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Mizuho Securities USA LLC, whereby the Company may sell, at its option, shares of its common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $75,000,000. On April 5, 2024, the Company sold 382,000 shares pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement at $27.50 per share for net proceeds of $10.3 million, inclusive of $0.2 million in commission paid to Mizuho. These transactions are expected to provide additional financial flexibility to the Company and increase our liquidity position.

The Company, from time to time, considers and evaluates financial and capital raising transactions related to its portfolio, including debt refinancings, purchases and sales of assets and other transactions. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels, or that the Company will be able to obtain the capital necessary to meet the Company's short and long-term capital requirements.

Recent changes in the current economic environment, and other future changes, could result in decreases in the fair value of assets, slowing of transactions, and the tightening of liquidity and credit markets. These impacts could make securing debt or refinancings for the Company or buyers of the Company's properties more difficult or on terms not acceptable to the Company. The Company's actual liquidity and capital funding requirements depend on numerous factors, including its operating results, its capital expenditures for community investment, and general economic conditions, as well as other factors described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

This earnings release contains the financial measures (1) Community Net Operating Income and Adjusted Community Net Operating Income, (2) Community Net Operating Income Margin and Adjusted Community Net Operating Income Margin, (3) Adjusted EBITDA, (4) Revenue per Occupied Unit (RevPOR) and (5) Revenue per Available Unit (RevPAR), all of which are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to aid investors in better understanding the factors and trends affecting the Company's performance and liquidity. However, investors should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, including net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, or revenue. Investors are cautioned that amounts presented in accordance with the Company's definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Investors are urged to review the following reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures from the most comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

Community Net Operating Income and Community Net Operating Income Margin are non-GAAP performance measures for the Company's consolidated owned portfolio of communities that the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding: general and administrative expenses (inclusive of stock-based compensation expense), interest income, interest expense, other income/expense, provision for income taxes, settlement fees and expenses, revenue and operating expenses from the Company's disposed properties; and further adjusted to exclude income/expense associated with non-cash, non-operational, transactional, or organizational restructuring items that management does not consider as part of the Company's underlying core operating performance and impacts the comparability of performance between periods. For the periods presented herein, such other items include depreciation and amortization expense, gain(loss) on extinguishment of debt, gain(loss) on disposition of assets, long-lived asset impairment, and loss on non-recurring settlements with third parties. The Community Net Operating Income Margin is calculated by dividing Community Net Operating Income by resident revenue. Adjusted Community Net Operating Income and Adjusted Community Net Operating Income Margin are further adjusted to exclude the impact from non-recurring state grant funds received.

The Company believes that presentation of Community Net Operating Income, Community Net Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Community Net Operating Income, and Adjusted Community Net Operating Income Margin as performance measures are useful to investors because (i) they are one of the metrics used by the Company's management to evaluate the performance of our core consolidated owed portfolio of communities, to review the Company's comparable historic and prospective core operating performance of the consolidated owned communities, and to make day-to-day operating decisions; (ii) they provide an assessment of operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely revenues and the controllable cost structure of the organization, by eliminating items related to the Company's financing and capital structure and other items that management does not consider as part of the Company's underlying core operating performance, and impacts the comparability of performance between periods.

Community Net Operating Income, Net Community Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Community Net Operating Income, and Adjusted Community Net Operating Income Margin have material limitations as a performance measure, including: (i) excluded general and administrative expenses are necessary to operate the Company and oversee its communities; (ii) excluded interest is necessary to operate the Company's business under its current financing and capital structure; (iii) excluded depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges may represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of the Company's communities, and other assets and may be indicative of future needs for capital expenditures; and (iv) the Company may incur income/expense similar to those for which adjustments are made, such as gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, gain(loss) on disposition of assets, loss on settlements, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and transaction and other costs, and such income/expense may significantly affect the Company's operating results.

ADJUSTED EBITDA (UNAUDITED)

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measures that the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding: depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, interest expense, other expense/income, provision for income taxes; and further adjusted to exclude income/expense associated with non-cash, non-operational, transactional, or organizational restructuring items that management does not consider as part of the Company's underlying core operating performance and impacts the comparability of performance between periods. For the periods presented herein, such other items include stock-based compensation expense, provision for bad debts, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, gain on sale of assets, long-lived asset impairment, casualty losses, and transaction and conversion costs.

The Company believes that presentation of Adjusted EBITDA's impact as a performance measure is useful to investors because it provides an assessment of operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely revenues and the controllable cost structure of the organization, by eliminating items related to the Company's financing and capital structure and other items that management does not consider as part of the Company's underlying core operating performance and that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods.

Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as a performance measure, including: (i) excluded interest is necessary to operate the Company's business under its current financing and capital structure; (ii) excluded depreciation, amortization and impairment charges may represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of the Company's communities and other assets and may be indicative of future needs for capital expenditures; and (iii) the Company may incur income/expense similar to those for which adjustments are made, such as bad debts, gain(loss) on sale of assets, or gain(loss) on debt extinguishment, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and transaction and other costs, and such income/expense may significantly affect the Company's operating results.
