CAPITAL SENIOR LIVING CORPORATION
REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2009 RESULTS

DALLAS — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 5, 2009 — Capital Senior Living Corporation (NYSE:CSU), one of the country’s largest operators of senior living communities, today announced operating results for the first quarter of 2009. Company highlights for the first quarter include:

Financial Highlights

• Revenues were $48.0 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $48.5 million in the first quarter of 2008.

• Adjusted EBITDAR was $14.3 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $14.6 million in the prior year period.

• Adjusted EBITDAR margin was 29.8 percent compared to 30.1 percent in the first quarter of the prior year.

• Net income was $0.8 million or $0.03 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009 compared to net income of $1.5 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008.

• Adjusted cash earnings were $4.4 million or $0.17 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009, versus $4.7 million or $0.18 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008.

Operational Highlights

• Average physical occupancy rate for the 58 stabilized communities was 87 percent.

• Operating margins (before property taxes, insurance and management fees) were 48 percent in stabilized independent and assisted living communities.

• At communities under management, excluding three communities undergoing conversions, same-store revenue increased 0.2 percent versus the first quarter of 2008 as a result of a 3.7 percent increase in average monthly rent. Same-community expenses decreased 1.5 percent and net income increased 2.7 percent from the comparable period of the prior year.

“We continue to make progress despite challenging economic conditions,” said Lawrence A. Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Same-store revenue increased as a result of higher average monthly rents and our corporate and property level cost controls and reductions are contributing to positive operating performance. Both EBITDAR and EBITDAR margin improved sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2008. In addition, our first quarter move-ins and deposits from prospective residents increased from both the previous quarter and the comparable quarter of the prior year. Attrition, which is typically higher in the first quarter, was less than that experienced in the first quarter of 2008. We are well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities in the current environment and maximize shareholder value through growth and profitability.”

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

For the first quarter of 2009, the Company reported revenue of $48.0 million, compared to revenue of $48.5 million in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease is largely due to a $0.8 million reduction in affiliated management services revenue as the Company is no longer earning development fees from three joint venture communities which were under construction last year. Resident and healthcare revenue decreased from the first quarter of the prior year by approximately $0.2 million despite an increase in average monthly rents. The number of consolidated communities remained at 50 in both periods. Financial occupancy of the consolidated portfolio averaged 84.5 percent in the first quarter of 2009 with an average monthly rent of $2,506 per occupied unit. Excluding three communities with units being converted to higher levels of care, financial occupancy of the consolidated portfolio averaged 86.3 percent.

Revenue under management was $54.8 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $55.1 million in the first quarter of 2008. Revenue under management includes revenue generated by the Company’s consolidated communities, communities owned in joint ventures and communities owned by third parties that are managed by the Company. There were 64 communities under management in both periods.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2009 decreased by $0.6 million from the first quarter of 2008. As a percentage of resident and healthcare revenue, operating expenses were 61.0 percent in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 62.1 percent in the first quarter of 2008. The improvement was due to a reduction in both labor and food costs for the quarter.

General and administrative expenses of $3.0 million were approximately $0.6 million lower than the first quarter of 2008. Approximately half of the decrease was due to personnel reductions which occurred at the end of 2008 and half reflected due diligence expenses in the first quarter of 2008 which were related to a potential acquisition that was not pursued. As a percentage of revenue under management, general and administrative expenses were 5.5 percent in the first quarter of 2009.

Facility lease expenses were $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2009, approximately $0.3 million higher than the first quarter of 2008, primarily reflecting increases in contingent rent on 25 leased communities.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.2 million from the first quarter of the prior year as a result of capital improvements at certain of the Company’s owned and leased facilities.

Adjusted EBITDAR for the first quarter of 2009 was approximately $14.3 million, compared to $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2008. Adjusted EBITDAR margin was 29.8 percent for the period.

Interest expense was $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2008, reflecting lower debt outstanding due to principal amortization.

The Company reported income before taxes of approximately $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to a pre-tax profit of approximately $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2008.

The Company’s provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2009 was $0.6 million, approximately 42.6 percent of income before taxes. The Company is impacted by the recently-enacted Texas Margin Tax which effectively imposes a tax on modified gross revenues for communities within the state. The Company consolidated 17 Texas communities in the first quarter of 2009 and the Texas Margin Tax increased the overall tax provision by more than four percentage points.

The Company reported net income of $0.8 million or $0.03 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009 versus net income of $1.5 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008. Adjusted cash earnings were $4.4 million or $0.17 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009, versus $4.7 million or $0.18 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008.

CAPITAL OVERVIEW AND FINANCING

In January of this year, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $10 million of its common stock. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time, shares of its common stock in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and extent to which the Company may repurchase its shares will depend upon market conditions and other corporate considerations. The Company anticipates that it will finance the repurchase program with available cash. In the first quarter of 2009, the Company purchased 337,300 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $0.9 million, or an average cost of $2.68 per share.

The Company ended the quarter with $24.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $2.2 million of restricted cash. The restricted cash represents collateral for letters of credit which are used in place of security deposits with a lessor. The interest earned on the restricted cash is approximately equal to the cost of the letters of credit.

As of March 31, 2009 the Company financed its 25 owned communities with mortgage debt totaling $185.0 million at fixed interest rates averaging 6.1 percent. With the exception of one mortgage of $4.7 million maturing in September of 2009, the next closest maturity is July of 2015.
