The 2021 NAV represents a snapshot in time as of December 31, 2021, will likely change, and does not represent the amount a stockholder would receive now or in the future for his or her shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2021 NAV is based on a number of assumptions, estimates and data that are inherently imprecise and susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Please see “Valuation Methodologies and Major Assumptions,” “Valuation Summary,” and “Additional Information Regarding the Valuation, Limitations of the 2021 NAV and Stanger” in this Current Report, below.
The Company will hold a webinar on March 30, 2022, at 1:00 p.m., Eastern Time, to review the 2021 NAV.
Valuation Methodologies and Major Assumptions
As of the Valuation Date, the Company’s real estate portfolio consisted of interests in 73 properties, including 71 seniors housing communities, one acute care facility and one vacant land parcel. For purposes of the valuation analysis, the Company’s assets were classified into two categories: the appraised properties which consist of 71 seniors housing properties and one undeveloped land parcel (the “Appraised Properties”), and the pending sale property which consists of one acute care facility owned by the Company and under an agreement for purchase and sale (the “Sale Agreement”) as of February 28, 2022 to be sold to an unrelated third party subject to the terms of the Sale Agreement (the “Sale Property”). The Appraised Properties were valued using valuation and appraisal methodologies consistent with real estate industry standards and practices, as described further below.
Appraised Properties: As of the Valuation Date, the aggregate estimated value of the Appraised Properties was approximately $1.88 billion. To estimate the value of the Appraised Properties, Stanger conducted an appraisal of each asset. In determining the value of each Appraised Property, Stanger utilized all information that it deemed relevant, including information from the Company’s advisor CNL Healthcare Corp. (the “Advisor”) and its own data sources, which data sources included trends in capitalization rates, leasing rates and other economic factors. In conducting its appraisals of the Appraised Properties, and pursuant to its engagement, Stanger utilized the income approach to valuation, which included a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis and/or direct capitalization analysis to determine value (other than the vacant land parcel). Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) on the senior housing industry and markets, in determining the appraised value of the 56 RIDEA seniors housing properties Stanger relied solely on DCF analyses in the 2021 NAV.
For those properties for which a DCF analysis was utilized, pro forma statements of operations for such properties including revenues, expenses and capital expenditures, were analyzed and projected over a multi-year period (typically ten years). Projected operating expenses in the DCF analysis included estimated COVID-19 related expenses. A reversion value is estimated after the holding period and then capitalized at an appropriate terminal capitalization rate reflecting the age, anticipated functional and economic obsolescence and competitive position of such properties to determine their reversion value. Net proceeds to owners are determined by deducting appropriate costs of sale in the reversion year. The discount rate selected for the DCF analysis is based upon estimated target rates of return for buyers of similar properties with consideration given to unique property-related factors, lease-up projections, location and age.
The direct capitalization analysis was performed by applying a market capitalization rate for each applicable triple net leased Appraised Property to the forward-year annual net operating income at each such property. In selecting each capitalization rate, Stanger took into account, among other factors, prevailing capitalization rates in the applicable property sector, the property’s location, age and condition, the property’s operating trends, the anticipated year of stabilization and the lease coverage ratios and other unique property factors.
As applicable, Stanger adjusted the capitalized value of each Appraised Property for any excess land, deferred maintenance or capital needs and lease-up costs to estimate the “as-is” value of each Appraised Property as of the Valuation Date. Stanger then adjusted the “as-is” property values, as appropriate, for the Company’s allocable ownership interest in the Appraised Properties to account for the interests of any third-party investment partners, including any priority distributions.
In providing a valuation for the land parcels owned by the Company (which includes the one vacant land parcel and excess or surplus land parcels deemed contributory in value within five seniors communities that are part of the Appraised Properties, actual and/or proposed land sale transactions were identified in each property’s market or region and adjusted to reflect, as appropriate: (i) the property rights conveyed in such transaction; (ii) any
