Company’s valuation policy and the recommendations and methodologies of the Investment Program Association, a trade association for non-listed direct investment vehicles (“IPA”), as set forth in IPA Practice Guideline 2013-01 “Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs” (“IPA Practice Guideline”).
The estimated 2018 NAV represents a snapshot in time, will likely change, and does not necessarily represent the amount a stockholder would receive now or in the future for his or her shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2018 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 Estimated Share Value and the Engagement of Stanger” in this Current Report, below.
Valuation Methodologies
As of the Valuation Date, the Company’s real estate portfolio consisted of two seniors housing communities, one in Riverview, Florida and one in Pensacola, Florida and the MOB Property in Overland Park, Kansas (the “Appraised Properties”). The Appraised Properties were valued using valuation and appraisal methodologies with real estate industry standards and practices further described below.
To estimate the value of the Appraised Properties, Stanger has performed a site visit and conducted an appraisal of each asset. In determining its value opinion of each Appraised Property, Stanger utilized all information that it deemed relevant, including information from the Advisor and its own data sources, which data sources included information on 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. Specifically, a direct capitalization analysis was used for seniors housing properties and both a direct capitalization and discounted cash flow analysis was used for the MOB Property.
For the seniors housing assets, a direct capitalization analysis was performed by applying a market capitalization rate for each applicable Appraised Property to the estimated stabilized 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, and the property’s operating trends.
For the MOB Property, the above-described direct capitalization analysis was performed and a market discount rate and terminal capitalization rate was applied to multi-year property projections which factored in, among other things, the leases encumbering the property, market conditions with respect to lease-up or releasing and property historical and projected operating trends.
As applicable, Stanger adjusted the capitalized value of each Appraised Property for any deferred maintenance or capital needs and lease-up costs to estimate the “as-is” value of each Appraised Property. Stanger’s appraisal report was certified by an appraiser licensed in the state in which the Appraised Properties were located. As of the Valuation Date, the aggregate estimated value of the Appraised Properties was approximately $66.64 million.
Debt. The Company determined the fair market value of the Company’s debt by applying a discounted cash flow analysis over the projected remaining term of the debt and reflecting the debt’s contractual agreement and corresponding interest and principal payments. The expected debt payments were then discounted to present value at an interest rate the Company deemed appropriate and reflective of market interest rates as of the Valuation Date for debt instruments with similar collateral, anticipated duration and prepayment terms. As of the Valuation Date, the estimated market value of the Company’s debt was $24.5 million, which equaled its aggregate outstanding principal balance as of the Valuation Date. While Stanger did not determine the value of the Company’s debt liabilities, Stanger did review the market interest rates used by the Company in determining the debt fair market value and, based upon a summary of the loan terms as provided by the Company, determined that in the aggregate, the market interest rates utilized by the Company were reasonable.
Valuation Summary; Material Assumptions
The following is a summary of the direct capitalization rates used to arrive at the value of the seniors housing properties: direct capitalization rate range of 6.25% to 7.00% with a weighted average of approximately 6.63%. The following is a summary of the rates used to arrive at the value of the medical office property: direct capitalization rate of 5.25%; discount rate of 6.50%, and a terminal capitalization rate of 6.00%.
