| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company has deposits in banks that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. Management believes that credit risk related to these deposits is minimal. Restricted cash consists of reserve accounts for property insurance, real estate taxes, capital expenditures, derivatives, and debt service required by certain loan agreements. In addition, restricted cash includes deposits required by certain counterparties as collateral pursuant to letters of credit which must remain so long as the letters of credit are outstanding, which are subject to renewal annually. The following table sets forth our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash (in thousands): September 30, December 31, Cash and cash equivalents $ 24,938 $ 4,082 Restricted cash: Property tax and insurance reserves 5,349 7,237 Lender reserves 8,189 3,329 Capital expenditures reserves 4,934 2,060 Escrow deposit — 1,000 Deposits pursuant to outstanding letters of credit 42 42 Other reserves 336 — Total restricted cash 18,850 13,668 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ 43,788 $ 17,750 Long-Lived Assets Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment to determine if facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired or that the depreciation period may need to be changed. The Company considers internal factors such as net operating losses along with external factors relating to each asset, including contract changes, local market developments, and other publicly available information to determine whether impairment indicators exist. If an indicator of impairment is identified, recoverability of an asset group is assessed by comparing its carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group through operation or disposition, calculated utilizing the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If this comparison indicates that the carrying amount of an asset group is not recoverable, the Company estimates fair value of the asset group and records an impairment loss when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. The Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $6.0 million to its “Property and equipment, net” during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which related to one owned community. There were no impairments on long-lived assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In evaluating our long-lived assets for impairment, we undergo continuous evaluations of property level performance and real estate trends, and management makes several estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition, estimated sales price, and future cash flows of each property during our estimated holding period. If our analysis or assumptions regarding the projected cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of our properties change, we incur additional costs and expenses during the holding period, or our expected hold periods change, we may incur future impairment losses. See “ Note 4 –Property and Equipment, net .” Acquisitions We make certain judgments to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition. These judgments include the assessment of the inputs, processes, and outputs associated with an acquired set of activities and whether the fair value of total assets acquired is concentrated to a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets. We account for a transaction as a business combination when the assets acquired include inputs and one or more substantive processes that, together, significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs and the total fair value of the assets acquired are not concentrated to a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets. Otherwise, we account for the transaction as an asset acquisition. Upon the acquisition of new communities accounted for as an acquisition of assets, we recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, measured at their relative fair values using Level 3 inputs at the date of acquisition once we have determined the fair value of each of these assets and liabilities. The acquisition date is the date on which we obtain control of the real estate property. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed consist of land, inclusive of associated rights, buildings, assumed debt, and identified intangible assets and liabilities. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values of acquired properties are recorded based on the net present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) Sonida’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place lease measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable terms of the leases (including the below-market fixed-rate renewal period, if applicable). Favorable above-market in-place leases represent the value of the contractual monthly rental payments that are less than the current market rent at communities as acquired in recent acquisitions. Favorable above-market in-place leases are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining lease terms. Capitalized above-market lease values are included in other assets, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities The Company reports investments in unconsolidated entities that it has the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. The initial carrying amount of investments in unconsolidated entities is based on the amount paid to purchase the investment. The Company's reported share of earnings from an unconsolidated entity is adjusted for the impact, if any, of basis differences between its carrying amount of the equity investment and its share of the investment’s underlying assets. Distributions received from an investee are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. The Company evaluates the realization of its investments in ventures accounted for using the equity method if circumstances indicate that the Company's investments are other than temporarily impaired. A current fair value of an investment that is less than its carrying amount may indicate a loss in value of the investment. If the Company determines that an equity method investment is other than temporarily impaired, it is recorded at its fair value with an impairment charge recognized in asset impairment expense for the difference between its carrying amount and fair value. Revenue Recognition Resident revenue consists of fees for basic housing and certain support services and fees associated with additional housing and expanded support requirements such as assisted living care, memory care, and ancillary services. Basic housing and certain support services revenue is recorded when services are rendered, and amounts billed are due from residents in the period in which the rental and other services are provided. Residency agreements are generally short term in nature with durations of one year or less and are typically terminable by either party, under certain circumstances, upon providing 30 days’ notice, unless state law provides otherwise, with resident fees billed monthly in advance. Revenue for certain ancillary services is recognized as services are provided, and includes fees for services such as medication management, daily living activities, beautician/barber, laundry, television, guest meals, pets, and parking, which are generally billed monthly in arrears. Other operating revenue consists of state relief funds received from various states due to the financial distress impacts of COVID-19 (“State Relief Funds”). The Company’s senior housing communities have residency agreements that generally require the resident to pay a community fee and other amounts prior to moving into the community, which are initially recorded by the Company as deferred revenue. The Company had contract liabilities for deferred fees paid by our residents prior to the month housing and support services were to be provided totaling approximately $4.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, which is reported as deferred income within current liabilities of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Revenues from the Medicaid program accounted for 9.9% and 11.4% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenues from the Medicaid program accounted for approximately 10.8% and 10.0% of the Company’s revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 22 and 23, respectively, of the Company’s communities were providers of services under the Medicaid program, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 22 and 24, respectively, of the Company’s communities were providers of services under the Medicaid program. Resident revenues for Medicaid residents were recorded at the reimbursement rates as the rates were set prospectively by the applicable state upon the filing of an annual cost report. None of the Company’s communities were providers of services under the Medicare program for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Laws and regulations governing the Medicaid program are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing that would have a material effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. While no such regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from the Medicaid program. The Company has management agreements whereby it manages certain communities on behalf of third-party owners and certain community investments under contracts that provide for periodic management fee payments to the Company. The Company has determined that all community management activities are a single performance obligation, which is satisfied over time as the services are rendered. The Company’s estimate of the transaction price for management services also includes the amount of reimbursement due from the owners of the communities for services provided and related costs incurred. Such revenue is included in “managed community reimbursement revenue” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The related costs are included in “managed community reimbursement expense” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. See “ Note 8–Revenue .” For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received approximately $0.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in State Relief Funds. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, no State Relief Funds were received from the state departments. The Company recognizes income for government grants on a systematic and rational basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes the related expenses or loss of revenue for which the grants are intended to compensate when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the applicable terms and conditions of the grant and there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received. The State Relief Funds were recorded as other operating revenue within “resident revenue” in the Company’s condensed statements of operations and notes thereto. Credit Risk and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company’s resident accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days after the date billed. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful account s of $6.8 million and $5.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and represent the Company’s estimate of the amount that ultimately will be collected. The adequacy of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends, write-off experience, analyses of receivable portfolios by payor source and aging of receivables, as well as a review of specific accounts, and adjustments are made to the allowance, as necessary. Credit losses on resident receivables have historically been within management’s estimates, and management believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts adequately provides for expected losses. Concentration of Credit Risk and Business Risk Substantially all of our revenues are derived from senior living communities we own and senior living communities that we manage. Senior living operations are particularly sensitive to adverse economic, social and competitive conditions and trends, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We have a concentration of owned properties operating in Texas ( 19 ), Indiana ( 12 ), Ohio ( 11 ) and Wisconsin ( 8 ), which represented approximatel y 26%, 16%, 20% and 10%, resp ectively, of our resident revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and approximatel y 24%, 18%, 20% and 10%, re spectively, of our resident revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 . We have a concentration of owned properties operating in Texa s (16), Indiana (12), Ohio (10) and Wisconsin (8), which represented approximately 23%, 19%, 20% and 10%, respectively, of our resident revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and approximately 24%, 18%, 19% and 10%, respectively, of our resident revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Workers’ Compensation The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance for workers’ compensation. Determining the reserve for workers’ compensation losses and costs that the Company has incurred as of the end of a reporting period involves significant judgments based on projected future events, including among other factors, potential settlements for pending claims, known incidents which may result in claims, estimates of incurred but not yet reported claims, changes in insurance premiums and estimated litigation costs. The Company regularly adjusts these estimates to reflect changes in the foregoing factors. However, since this reserve is based on estimates, it is possible the actual expenses incurred may differ from the amounts reserved. Any subsequent changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined. Income Taxes Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method and current income taxes are recorded based on amounts refundable or payable in the current year. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 differ from the statutory tax rates due to state income taxes, permanent tax differences, and changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Deferred income taxes are recorded based on the estimated future tax effects of loss carryforwards and temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the Company expects those carryforwards and temporary differences to be recovered or settled. Management regularly evaluates the future realization of deferred tax assets and provides a valuation allowance, if considered necessary, based on such evaluation. As part of the evaluation, management has evaluated taxable income in carryback years, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, feasible tax planning strategies, and future expectations of income. The valuation allowance reduces the Company’s net deferred tax assets to the amount that is “more likely than not” (i.e., a greater than 50% likelihood) to be realized. The Company has a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. However, in the event that the Company were to ultimately determine that it would be more likely than not that the Company would realize the benefit of deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amounts, adjustments to deferred tax assets would increase net income in the period such determination was made. The benefits of the net deferred tax assets might not be realized if actual results differ from expectations. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions through consideration of accounting and reporting guidance on criteria, measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial statement comparability among different companies. The Company is required to recognize a tax benefit in its financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if management’s assessment is that its position is “more likely than not” (i.e., a greater than 50% likelihood) to be upheld on audit based only on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as income tax expense. The Company filed for an employee retention credit (“ERC”) with the Internal Revenue Service in November 2023. The ERC is a tax credit for businesses that had employees and were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have not received any funds from the ERC as of September 30, 2024. Redeemable Preferred Stock The Company's Series A Preferred Stock is convertible outside of our control and is classified as mezzanine equity. The Series A Preferred Stock was initially recorded at fair value upon issuance, net of issuance costs and discounts. The holders, or Conversant Dallas Parkway (A) LP and Conversant Dallas Parkway (B) LP (together, the “Conversant Preferred Investors”), of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company. As such, the Conversant Preferred Investors, in combination with their common stock ownership as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, have voting rights in excess of 50% of the Company’s total voting stock. It is deemed probable that the Series A Preferred Stock could be redeemed for cash by the Conversant Preferred Investors, and as such, the Series A Preferred Stock is required to be remeasured and adjusted to its maximum redemption value at the end of each reporting period. However, to the extent that the maximum redemption value of the Series A Preferred Stock does not exceed the fair value of the shares at the date of issuance, the shares are not adjusted below the fair value at the date of issuance. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Series A Preferred Stock is carried at the maximum redemption value. The Series A Preferred Stock does not have a maturity date and, therefore, is considered perpetual. Dividends on redeemable Series A Preferred Stock are recorded to retained earnings or additional paid-in capital if retained earnings is an accumulated deficit. Dividends are cumulative, and any declaration of dividends is at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). If the Board does not declare a dividend in respect of any dividend payment date, the amount of such accrued and unpaid dividend is added to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock and compounds quarterly thereafter. See “ Note 7–Securities Financing .” Derivative Instruments We use derivative instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to market risks associated with the fluctuations in interest rates. We are also required to enter into interest rate derivative instruments in compliance with certain debt agreements. We regularly monitor the financial stability and credit standing of the counterparties to our derivative instruments. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We record all derivatives at fair value. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our derivative instruments consisted of interest rate caps that were not designated as hedge instruments. Changes in fair value of undesignated hedge instruments are recorded in current period earnings as interest expense. See “ Note 14–Derivatives and Hedging .” Net Income Per Common Share The Company uses the two-class method to compute net income per common share because the Company has issued securities (Series A Preferred Stock) that entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the Company. Under this method, net income is reduced by the amount of any dividends earned during the period. The remaining earnings (undistributed earnings) are allocated based on the weighted-average shares outstanding of common stock and participating securities, including Series A Preferred Stock (on an if-converted basis) to the extent that each participating security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total earnings allocated to common stock is then divided by the number of outstanding shares to which the earnings are allocated to determine the earnings per share. The two-class method is not applicable during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the participating securities, including Series A Preferred Stock, have no obligation to fund losses. Diluted net income per common share is computed under the two-class method by using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus, for periods with net income attributable to common stockholders, the potential dilutive effects of stock options, stock-based compensation awards, and warrants. In addition, the Company analyzes the potential dilutive effect of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock under the “ if-converted” method when calculating diluted earnings per share, in which it is assumed that the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock converts into common stock at the beginning of the period or when issued, if later. The Company reports the more dilutive of the approaches (two class or “if-converted”) as its diluted net income per share during the period. See “ Note 9 –Net Income Per Share .” Segment Reporting The Company evaluates the performance and allocates resources of its senior living communities based on current operations and market assessments on a property-by-property basis. The Company does not have a concentration of operations geographically or by product or service as its management functions are integrated at the property level. The Company has determined that its operating units meet the criteria in ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting , to be aggregated into one reporting segment. As such, the Company operates in one segment. Troubled Debt Restructurings The Company assesses all loan modifications with existing lenders to determine if it is a troubled debt restructuring. A loan that has been modified or renewed is considered to be a troubled debt restructuring when two conditions are met: (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and (2) concessions are made for the borrower’s benefit that would not otherwise be considered for a borrower or a transaction with similar credit risk characteristics. These concessions may include modifications of the terms of the debt such as deferral of payments, extension of maturity, reduction of principal balance, reduction of the stated interest rate other than normal market rate adjustments, or a combination of these concessions. The Company compares the total cash outflows of the restructured debt to the carrying amount of the debt prior to the restructure. If cash outflows of the restructured debt are less than the carrying amount, a gain is recognized and the carrying amount of the debt is adjusted. If cash outflows of the restructured debt are more than the carrying amount, no gain or loss is recognized and the carrying amount of the debt is not adjusted. The change in cash outflows resulting from the restructuring is accounted for on a prospective basis by calculating a new effective interest rate on the restructured debt and applying it to recognize lower interest expense over the remaining term. See “ Note 6 –Debt .” Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures . The amendments are intended to increase reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the disclosures within the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates having the expanded disclosures in its 2024 Form 10-K. Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The amendments require disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. |
