Newton, MA (November 1, 2010):  Senior Housing Properties Trust (NYSE: SNH) today announced its financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

Results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010:

 

Funds from operations, or FFO, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $53.5 million, or $0.42 per share. This compares to FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 of $49.4 million, or $0.41 per share.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 includes a gain on sale of approximately $109,000, or less than $0.01 per share, related to the sale of four properties in August 2010.  Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 includes an impairment of assets charge of $11.2 million, or $0.09 per share, related to eight properties.  For purposes of calculating FFO, all of the foregoing items are excluded from our determination of FFO.

 

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding totaled 127.4 million and 121.7 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(1)          We compute FFO as shown above.  Our calculation of FFO differs from the definition of FFO by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, because we include deferred percentage rent, if any, exclude loss on early extinguishment of debt, if any, exclude impairment of assets, if any, and exclude acquisition related costs, if any, in the determination of FFO. We consider FFO to be an appropriate measure of performance for a REIT, along with net income and cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities.  We believe that FFO provides useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, acquisition related costs and gain or loss on sale of properties, FFO can facilitate a comparison of operating performances by a REIT over time and among REITs.  FFO does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance or liquidity.  Also, other REITs may calculate FFO differently than we do.

 

(2)          In May 2010, we redeemed all $97.5 million of our outstanding 7.875% senior notes due 2015.  As a result of this redemption, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2.4 million consisting of the debt prepayment premium of approximately $1.3 million and the write off of unamortized deferred financing fees and debt discount of approximately $1.1 million.

 

(3)          During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized an impairment of assets charge of approximately $1.1 million related to five properties.

 

(4)          Our percentage rents are generally calculated on an annual basis. We recognize percentage rental income received during the first, second and third quarters in the fourth quarter when all contingencies related to percentage rents are satisfied.  Although recognition of this revenue is deferred until the fourth quarter, our FFO calculation for the first three quarters includes estimated amounts of deferred percentage rents with respect to those periods.  The fourth quarter calculation of FFO excludes the amounts recognized during the first three quarters.

 

(5)          In August 2010, we sold four skilled nursing facilities located in Nebraska with an aggregate 196 licensed beds for $1.5 million and recognized a gain on sale of approximately $109,000.
