SEATTLE, WA, (May 3, 2010) - Emeritus Corporation (NYSE: ESC), a national provider of assisted living and memory care services to seniors, today announced its first quarter 2010 results.

“The need-driven fundamentals of our business remain intact, and we continue to gain market share,” commented Granger Cobb, President and Co-Chief Executive Officer. “We also continue to successfully pursue external growth as we added nine communities to our consolidated portfolio during the first quarter, and our joint venture was selected as the lead bidder for the acquisition of 149 communities that we would manage if the joint venture successfully acquires these communities.”
2010 First Quarter Results
Total revenue in the first quarter of 2010 increased 5.9% to $234.2 million, compared to $221.1 million in the 2009 first quarter. The $13.1 million increase consisted of $7.6 million from improved rate and occupancy in our portfolio of 264 same communities that we have continuously operated since January 1, 2009, and $5.5 million from the acquisition, development, and expansion of 16 communities since the beginning of 2009. The improvement in Same Community revenues consisted of $5.2 million in rate improvement and $2.4 million in occupancy gains.
Average monthly revenue per occupied unit increased 1.8% to $3,699 in the first quarter of 2010 from $3,632 in the first quarter of 2009. On a Same Community basis, average monthly revenue per occupied unit increased 2.4% to $3,718 in the first quarter of 2010 from $3,631 in the corresponding period in 2009.
In the first quarter of 2010, total average occupancy increased 110 basis points to 87.2% compared to 86.1% in first quarter of 2009, and Same Community average occupancy increased 90 basis points to 87.3% compared to 86.4% in the prior year first quarter.
Community operating expenses increased $11.1 million to $155.0 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $143.9 million in the prior year first quarter. Approximately $4.7 million of the increase resulted from the acquisition, development, or expansion of 16 communities since the beginning of 2009,
and $6.4 million was from our 264 Same Community portfolio. The increase in Same Community operating expenses consisted primarily of a $3.4 million increase in labor and benefits, of which payroll taxes increased $1.3 million and salary and wages increased $0.8 million, or 1.2%. The remaining increase in Same Community operating expenses was due primarily to general expense increases across various other operating expense categories.
Operating income from continuing operations increased $2.1 million to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared to $10.4 million in the prior year first quarter. Community operating income (community revenues less community operating expenses) increased $2.1 million, or 2.8%, to $77.8 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared with $75.7 million in the first quarter of 2009.
Community Transactions
In March 2010, the Company announced that the joint venture between Emeritus, Blackstone Real Estate Advisors and Columbia Pacific Advisors was selected as the lead bidder in the joint venture’s proposed acquisition of approximately 149 communities currently operated by an affiliate of Sunwest Management. The Company continues to work with the joint venture to pursue this opportunity, which we anticipate will close in the second half of 2010 if we are selected as the winning bidder.
During the first quarter of 2010, the Company acquired nine additional communities under long-term lease agreements consisting of approximately 424 units. Eight of the communities are accounted for as capital leases and one as a financing lease. As of March 31, 2010, the consolidated Emeritus portfolio consisted of 280 communities, of which 264 communities are included in our Same Community definition.
Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $51.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, and had no outstanding borrowings under its $25.0 million line of credit. On March 31, 2010, total assets were $2.1 billion, including $1.7 billion of net investments in properties, total debt was $1.6 billion, including capital lease obligations, and shareholders’ equity was $299.6 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAR and Cash From Facility Operations (CFFO) are financial measures of operating performance that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful in identifying trends in our day-to-day performance because they exclude items that are of little or no significance to operations and provide indicators to management of progress in achieving optimal operating performance. In addition, these measures are used by many research analysts and investors to evaluate the performance and the value of companies in our industry. We strongly urge you to review the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAR, and the reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to CFFO, provided below, al ong with our consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and cash flows. We define Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAR and CFFO and provide other information about these non-GAAP measures in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 15, 2010, and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2010, to be filed with the SEC on or before May 10, 2010.

“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: A number of the matters and subject areas discussed in this report that are not historical or current facts deal with potential future circumstances, operations, and prospects. The discussion of such matters and subject areas is qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally, and also may materially differ from our actual future experience as a result of such factors as: the effects of competition and economic conditions on the occupancy levels in our communities; our ability under current market conditions to maintain and increase our resident charges in accordance with our rate enhancement programs without adversely affecting occupancy levels; increases in interest costs as a result of refinancings; our ability to control community operation expenses without adversely affecting the level of occupancy and the level of resident charges; our ability to generate cash flow sufficient to service our debt and other fixed payment requirements; our ability to find sources of financing and capital on satisfactory terms to meet our cash requirements to the extent that they are not met by operations, and uncertainties related to professional liability and workers’ compensation claims. We have attempted to identify, in context, certain of the factors that we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from our current expectations regarding the relevant matter or subject area. These and other risks and uncertainties are detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
