Granger Cobb, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “2012 was a year of significant accomplishments for Emeritus – we experienced progressive rate growth throughout the year, which drove compelling CFFO growth of over 13%.  In addition, we invested to a greater degree in capital improvements to our communities and leadership training throughout the organization.  These investments combined with the significant strategic transactions completed in the fourth quarter have positioned us for even stronger growth in the future as evidenced by our expectation to double our CFFO growth rate in 2013.”

2012 Annual Consolidated Results

Community and management fee revenues increased $133.3 million, or 10.6%, to $1.39 billion in 2012, compared to the prior year.  The increase in revenues was partially due to the Company’s fourth quarter 2012 lease and ownership acquisition of 138 communities that we previously managed for a joint venture comprised of Emeritus, affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VI (“Blackstone”), certain former tenants in common, and an investment fund affiliated with Dan Baty, the Company’s chairman (the  “Blackstone JV”).  The increase in revenues was also attributable to the Company’s fourth quarter 2012 acquisition of Nurse on Call, Inc. (“NOC”) and 2011 mid-year acquisitions that were included in consolidated results for a full year in 2012.  Revenues for those consolidated communities we have continuously operated from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012 (“Consolidated Same Community”) increased $19.5 million between the periods, driven primarily by rate growth.  As of December 31, 2012, the consolidated Emeritus portfolio consisted of 461 communities, of which 293 communities are included in the Company’s definition of Consolidated Same Community.

Total average monthly revenue per occupied unit for the consolidated portfolio increased 1.6% to $4,127 in 2012 compared to 2011.  Over the same period, total average occupancy for the consolidated portfolio increased 50 basis points to 86.8%. These increases in rate and occupancy were due primarily to improvements in the Consolidated Same Community portfolio, which represented over 80% of the average consolidated communities during the year.  As a result of the Blackstone JV transaction, we added 129 leased communities and nine owned communities to our consolidated portfolio beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, and four remaining Blackstone JV communities are expected to be added in 2013 as leased communities.  All but five of these communities have been managed by Emeritus since the second half of 2010.  For all communities continuously under Emeritus management from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012 (“Total Portfolio Same Community”), monthly revenue per occupied unit increased 1.5% from 2011 to 2012, and average occupancy improved by 100 basis points over the same period.

Community operating expenses increased $72.5 million to $919.6 million in 2012 compared to $847.2 million in 2011, due primarily to acquisition-related activities (net of dispositions) between the periods.  Community operating expenses in the Consolidated Same Community portfolio were held to an increase of 0.8%, or $6.4 million; normal inflationary and certain other expense increases were offset somewhat by lower utilities expenses and improved efficiencies in the Company’s healthcare self-insurance program.

Community operating income increased $63.9 million, or 16.5%, to $450.4 million in 2012, compared to the prior year.  Community operating income margin increased 160 basis points to 32.9% in 2012, compared to 31.3% in the prior-year period, reflecting improved occupancy and rate, combined with effective expense controls, as well as decreased self-insurance reserve adjustments in 2012. Total Portfolio Same Community operating margin increased 100 basis points to 32.2% in 2012, compared to 31.2% in 2011; the larger percentage increase in this total portfolio was due to accelerated improved performance in the former Blackstone JV communities.

Excluding noncash stock-based compensation expenses, senior living general and administrative expenses as a percent of total operated senior living community revenue (which includes revenues of managed communities but excludes reimbursed costs of managed communities and ancillary services revenues) was held flat at 4.8% for 2012, consistent with the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDAR in 2012 increased $43.3 million, or 12.5%, to $389.8 million, with the increase primarily driven by the increase in community operating income.  Cash from facility operations (CFFO) per share, as adjusted, increased 13.4% to $1.69 per share, compared to $1.49 per share in 2011.

2012 Fourth Quarter Consolidated Results

Community and management fee revenues increased $88.0 million, or 27.1%, to $412.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $324.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.  The increase in revenues resulted primarily from the Company’s fourth quarter 2012 lease and ownership acquisition of 138 communities that we previously managed for the Blackstone JV and the acquisition of NOC.  Additionally, Consolidated Same Community revenues increased $9.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of improved rate per unit.

Total average monthly revenue per occupied unit for the consolidated portfolio increased to $4,077 in the fourth quarter of 2012 from $4,073 in the fourth quarter of 2011.  The consolidated rate increase was somewhat muted by the acquisition of the Blackstone JV communities, which as a group has lower average rates than the legacy Emeritus communities.  In the fourth quarter of 2012, total average occupancy for the consolidated portfolio increased 20 basis points to 86.8% compared to 86.6% in the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase was due primarily to improved occupancy in the Consolidated Same Community portfolio.  Total Portfolio Same

Community monthly revenue per occupied unit increased 3.0% in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to the fourth quarter of the prior year, and average occupancy improved by 60 basis points over the same period.

Community operating expenses increased $56.3 million to $275.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $219.4 million in the 2011 period, due primarily to acquisition-related activities.  Community operating expenses in the Consolidated Same Community portfolio were held to an increase of 0.5%, or $1.0 million; normal inflationary and certain other expense increases were offset somewhat by improved efficiencies in the Company’s healthcare self-insurance program as well as lower bad debt expense.  The fourth quarter of 2012 included $1.5 million in non-recurring legal settlement costs.

Community operating income increased $34.3 million, or 34.4%, to $133.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.  Community operating income margin increased 150 basis points to 32.7% in the fourth quarter, compared to 31.2% in the prior-year period, reflecting improved occupancy and rate, combined with effective expense controls.  Total Portfolio Same Community operating margin increased 240 basis points to 33.7% in 2012, compared to 31.3% in 2011; the larger percentage increase in this total portfolio was due to accelerated improved performance in the former Blackstone JV communities.

Excluding noncash stock-based compensation expenses, senior living general and administrative expenses as a percent of total operated senior living community revenue was 5.0% in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 4.9% in the fourth quarter of 2011.  
 
For the fourth quarter of 2012, Adjusted EBITDAR increased $27.7 million, or 31.3%, to $116.2 million, with the increase primarily driven by the increase in community operating income.  CFFO per share, as adjusted, increased 25.0% to $0.40 per share, compared to $0.32 per share in the fourth quarter of 2011.

2013 Guidance Update

The Company provides guidance for the Company’s existing portfolio and excludes future acquisitions and dispositions.

The Company’s guidance for 2013 is as follows:
·  
Community and management fee revenue in the range of $1.85 billion to $1.90 billion
·  
Routine capital expenditures in the range of $28.0 million to $30.0 million
·  
Senior living general and administrative expenses as a percent of total senior living operated revenue of approximately 4.9%, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expenses
·  
CFFO, as adjusted, in the range of $2.10 to $2.20 per share

In addition to annual guidance, the Company expects CFFO, as adjusted, in the first quarter of 2013 to be in the range of $0.41 to $0.45 per share.

Recent Developments

In February 2013, NOC borrowed $50.0 million to finance that company’s expansion and refinance certain existing indebtedness of Emeritus.  The loan has a four-year term, and the interest rate is equal to LIBOR plus 4.75% initially, decreasing to 4.25% and 3.75% over the term, depending upon the ratio of the principal balance to NOC’s EBITDA.  Principal reductions of $1.875 million are due quarterly.

Webcast and Conference Call

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAR and CFFO are financial measures of operating performance that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful in identifying trends in day-to-day performance because they exclude items that are of little or no significance to operations and provide indicators to management of progress in achieving optimal operating performance.  In addition, these measures are used by many research analysts and investors to evaluate the performance and the value of companies in the senior living industry.  The Company strongly urges you to review the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAR and the reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to CFFO, provided below, along with the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows.  The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAR and CFFO and provides other information about these non-GAAP measures in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
