- Signed a definitive purchase agreement to acquire a 112-bed skilled nursing facility in Ridgeway, South Carolina for $3.0 million. The company expects to complete the transaction by the end of the year and fund the acquisition with a traditional bank loan and other financing alternatives.
- Appointed Zvi Rhine and Lance J. Baller to board of directors. They have extensive executive management experience in the capital markets, particularly sale-leaseback transactions and mid-market acquisitions.
Q3 2015 Financial Summary
Rental revenue increased 116% to $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2015, as compared to $0.5 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in revenue was due to contribution of revenue from five facilities acquired in the year-ago quarter.
Rental revenue in the third quarter of 2015 was derived from 9 out of 11 facilities in the company's portfolio, with the Southern Hills assisted living and independent living facilities currently undergoing renovations.
Total expenses were $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $0.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in total expenses was primarily due to a bad debt expense of $380,000, and to a lesser extent due to increased depreciation expense due to the addition of properties to the company's portfolio in 2014, and related increased general and administrative expenses.
As the company continues its acquisition campaign for healthcare real estate, it anticipates revenue and cash flow to increase while holding general and administrative costs relatively flat at approximately $205,000 per quarter, excluding costs related to the assisted and independent living facilities in Tulsa, Oklahoma until the renovations are complete and an operator is in place.
Interest expense was $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2015, as compared to $0.2 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in interest expense is due to increased debt associated with new acquisitions.
Net loss to common stockholders was $0.7 million or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share in the third quarter of 2015, as compared to net loss of $0.2 million or $(0.01) per diluted share in the same year-ago period.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $0.5 million as of September 30, 2015, as compared to $0.5 million as of December 31, 2014.
Funds from operations (FFO) was negative $371,000 or $(0.02) per share in the third quarter of 2015 (see "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information," below for the definition of FFO, a non-GAAP financial metric, as well as an important discussion about the use of this metric). Given that the company first began to track and report FFO in the first quarter of 2015, there is no comparative year-ago period for FFO.
Management Commentary
"Our strong quarter over quarter growth in rental revenue was driven by the five acquisitions of skilled nursing facilities since the year ago," said Global Healthcare REIT's president and CEO, Christopher Brogdon. "We continue to work towards closing the previously announced acquisition of a skilled nursing facility in South Carolina, which would represent our first facility in the state.
"Regarding our HUD refinancing efforts, we are currently refinancing our Goodwill and Dodge facilities with a long-term rate this is expected to be under 4%. We anticipate closing these loans in Q1 of 2016, and for the lower rate to improve our FFO by generating annual interest savings by $394,000. Our Providence Sparta property is eligible for HUD refinancing once our new tenant is in place on July 1, 2016. We will continue to evaluate HUD refinancing opportunities for other properties where available.
"Subsequent to the quarter, we announced signing three long-term operating leases for our Green Pointe, Providence and Warrenton facilities in Georgia, replacing existing leases which are set to expire on June 30, 2016. These long-term leases to an experienced professional operator contain terms more reflective of the value of the properties and their cash flow generation capacity.
"Our business model and property ownership structure is designed to drive increased operating cash flow as incremental properties are acquired. As we continue our acquisition campaign, we anticipate revenue and cash flow to increase as we maintain corporate overhead relatively flat."

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to declare and pay cash dividends to common stockholders in the future, or the frequency or amount of such dividends, if any.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Beginning with the reporting of results for the first quarter of 2015, the company began to report the measures of funds from operations (FFO) and FFO per share.
Funds from Operations (FFO), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), and FFO per share are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation except on land, such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP.
FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, real estate depreciation and amortization and impairment charges, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company computes FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition.
