Sonida Senior Living Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results

Sonida Senior Living, Inc. (the "Company," "Sonida," "we," "our," or "us") (NYSE:SNDA), a leading owner, operator and investor of senior housing communities, today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

"In the third quarter, total portfolio community NOI grew approximately 21%, driven by solid rent growth and strong results in the acquisition portfolio," said Brandon Ribar, President and CEO. "In the same-store portfolio, occupancy achieved its highest levels post-Covid at 87.7%, with end of October spot occupancy reaching 89.0%. Execution on our acquisition strategy continued in September with the addition of a high-quality senior housing community in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, bringing Sonida's total portfolio to 21 assets in Texas, furthering regional densification. We made our most significant step to date in executing our inorganic growth strategy, with the recently announced strategic merger with CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc., which is expected to close late in the first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2026. This transaction represents an inflection point in our pursuit of growing a best-in-class owner-operator platform with significant value creation to shareholders. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the entire Sonida team for their tireless work, not only on their tremendous execution, but in keeping the care and services provided to our residents as our guiding light."

The merger currently is expected to close late in the first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of both Sonida and CHP shareholders.

SUMMARY OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

(in thousands)

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to three months ended September 30, 2024

Revenues

Resident revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $84.6 million as compared to $67.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, representing an increase of $17.6 million, or 26.3%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased average rent rates, increased occupancy, and 19 additional operating communities acquired in 2024 and 2025.

Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $65.1 million as compared to $50.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, representing an increase of $14.6 million, or 28.9%. The increase was attributable to an increase of $11.0 million in operating expenses related to the 19 additional communities acquired during 2024 and 2025, and an increase of $3.6 million in operating expenses related to the remaining owned communities, driven by $2.1 million increases in labor, $0.8 million in casualty gain, and $0.7 million increases in other operating expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $10.5 million as compared to $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, representing an increase of $0.8 million. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in labor and employee-related expenses of $1.2 million to support the Company's growth initiatives, offset by a decrease of $0.2 million for legal and professional fees and $0.2 million in other expenses.

Transaction, transition and restructuring costs were $6.2 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The costs include legal, audit, banking and other costs to support the Company's recent debt, restructuring, investments by the Company, and the CHP transaction.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $4.7 million to property and equipment, net, to adjust the carrying value of a community classified as held for sale to its estimated fair value, less estimated disposal costs.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $9.9 million as compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, representing an increase of $0.1 million, which was primarily due to the incremental borrowings associated with the Company's recent community acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease in the Company's SOFR-based variable rate debt.

Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $1.7 million over the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to $1.5 million of costs related to the Company's recent acquisitions, $0.3 million of debt restructuring and other expenses related to our Ally loan modification, and $0.2 million in other expense. Partially offsetting these expenses was $0.3 million in other income for recognized gross employee retention credits received from Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act funding for businesses that had certain employee costs and were affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company reported net loss attributable to Sonida shareholders of $26.9 million and $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Credit Facility

During 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement with BMO Bank, N.A. and Royal Bank of Canada for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility has a borrowing capacity of up to $150.0 million, a term of three years, a leverage-based pricing matrix ranging between SOFR plus 2.10% margin and SOFR plus 2.60% margin and is fully recourse to Sonida and its applicable subsidiaries. The borrowing base by which borrowing availability under the Credit Facility is generally based upon the value of the senior living communities that secure the Company's obligations under the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2025, $86.1 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 6.9%, which was secured by 14 of the Company's senior living communities. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had availability of $40.9 million under the Credit Facility.

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):

In addition to $17.0 million of unrestricted cash as of September 30, 2025, 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, including sales of common stock under our ATM Sales Agreement (as defined below), borrowings under our Credit Facility, proceeds from debt, proceeds from debt refinancings or loan modifications, and proceeds from the sale of owned assets. During 2024, the Company entered into the At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the "ATM Sales Agreement"), whereby the Company may sell, at its option and subject to market conditions, shares of its common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $75.0 million. These transactions are expected to provide additional financial flexibility to us 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 financing and refinancings, purchases and sales of assets, equity offerings, 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 prospective 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, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025.

DEFINITIONS

RevPAR, or average monthly revenue per available unit, is defined by the Company as resident revenue for the period, divided by the weighted average number of available units in the corresponding portfolio for the period, divided by the number of months in the period.

RevPOR, or average monthly revenue per occupied unit, is defined by the Company as resident revenue for the period, divided by the weighted average number of occupied units in the corresponding portfolio for the period, divided by the number of months in the period.

Same-Store Community Portfolio is defined by the Company as communities that are consolidated, wholly or partially owned, and operational for the full year in each year beginning as of January 1st of the prior year. Consolidated communities excluded from the same-store community portfolio include the Acquisition Community Portfolio, the Repositioning Portfolio, and certain communities that have experienced a casualty event that has significantly impacted their operations.

Acquisition Community Portfolio is defined by the Company as communities that are wholly or partially owned, acquired in the current year or prior comparison year, and are not operational in both comparison years. An operational community is defined as a community that has maintained its certificate of occupancy and has made at least 80% of its wholly owned or partially owned units available for five consecutive quarters.

Repositioning Portfolio is defined by the Company as communities that are wholly or partially owned, and have undergone or are undergoing strategic repositioning as a result of significant changes in the business model, care offerings, and/or capital re-investment plans, that in each case, have disrupted, or are expected to disrupt, normal course operations. These communities will be included in the Same-Store Community Portfolio once operating under normal course operating structures for the full year in each year beginning as of January 1st of the prior year.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This earnings release contains the financial measures (1) Net Operating Income, (2) Net Operating Income Margin, (3) Adjusted EBITDA, and (4) Same-store amounts for these metrics, each of which is not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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 reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures from the most comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, which are included below.

The Company believes that presentation of Net Operating Income and Net Operating Income Margin as performance measures is useful to investors because such measures are some of the metrics used by the Company's management to evaluate the performance of the Company's owned portfolio of communities, to review the Company's comparable historic and prospective core operating performance of the Company's owned communities, and to make day-to-day operating decisions. The Company also believes that the presentation of such non-GAAP financial measures and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because such measures provide an assessment of operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, primarily 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.

Net Operating Income and Net Operating Income Margin have material limitations as performance measures, including the exclusion of general and administrative expenses that are necessary to operate the Company and oversee its communities. Furthermore, such non-GAAP financial measures and Adjusted EBITDA exclude (i) interest that is necessary to operate the Company's business under its current financing and capital structure, and (ii) depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges that 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. The Company may also incur income/expense similar to those for which adjustments may be made and such income/expense may significantly affect the Company's operating results.

Net Operating Income and Net Operating Income Margin (Unaudited)

Net Operating Income and Net Operating Income Margin are non-GAAP performance measures 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, management fees, 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 that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods. For the periods presented herein, such other items include depreciation and amortization expense, transaction, transition and restructuring costs, impairment of assets held for sale, gain on extinguishment of debt, loss from equity method investment, casualty loss, non-recurring settlement fees, non-income tax, and non-property tax. Net Operating Income Margin is calculated by dividing Net Operating Income by resident revenue. The Company presents these non-GAAP measures on a consolidated community and same-store community basis.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures of Net Operating Income and Net Operating Income Margin, in each case, on a consolidated community and same-store community basis to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) for the periods indicated:

ADJUSTED EBITDA (UNAUDITED)

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure 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 that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods. For the periods presented herein, such other items include stock-based compensation expense, provision for credit losses, impairment of assets held for sale, casualty losses, and transaction, transition and restructuring costs.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) for the periods indicated:
