AdCare Health Systems Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2015 Results
Transition of Business Model Complete; Board Exploring Strategic Alternatives

ATLANTA, GA, March 29, 2016-AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ADK) (NYSE MKT: ADK.PRA) a self-managed healthcare real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for senior living and long-term healthcare, today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015.

Business and Financial Highlights
Completed transition to a healthcare property holding and leasing company by leasing, subleasing or selling all 40 of the healthcare facilities it previously owned, operated or managed. All operations transfers have been completed.
Strengthened the company’s investment portfolio by executing a new master lease for nine of its healthcare facilities located in Arkansas with a well-capitalized operator at higher rent. The master lease is expected to commence on April 1, 2016.
Paid down or received commitments to refinance or extend approximately $44 million in short-term debt, with such commitments being subject to the execution of definitive documentation and the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions.
Continued to make progress in its efforts to reduce G&A expenses, and management expects a continued decline in G&A as personnel and other costs are eliminated.
Given that the transition to a healthcare property holding and leasing company is complete, the Board of Directors has begun to explore strategic alternatives for the company.

“In 2015, we delivered on our commitment to transition to a healthcare property holding and leasing company, and we enter 2016 focused on taking additional actions to increase shareholder value,” commented Bill McBride, AdCare’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Given that the transition is complete, the Board has determined the time is right to begin to explore strategic alternatives for the company, and this process is underway. As part of the Board’s efforts in reviewing its strategic alternatives, it will be hiring legal and financial advisers.”

“As we consider these strategic alternatives, we are taking specific steps to strengthen our portfolio, streamline our organization, reduce interest costs, improve cash flow, and create sustainable shareholder value, including using excess cash to repurchase shares,” added Mr. McBride. “Today, with a portfolio of properties leased on long-term, triple-net basis, we are building on our 2015 momentum with today’s announcement that we paid down or received commitments to refinance or extend $44 million in short-term debt and the previously announced operator change for our Arkansas facilities. In addition, we are pursuing the sale or sublease of non-core real estate assets that are no longer necessary to support our new business model. We are actively working to reduce our general and administrative expenses by eliminating personnel and other costs and by collecting legacy patient care accounts receivables.”

Set forth below are operating metrics that management believes measure the operating performance of the company’s leased and subleased portfolio:

Summary of Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2015
Tables reporting the full year financial results, are included in this press release and will be reported in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2016.

Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2015 were $6.3 million, up 418% from $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased by 453% to $18.4 million from $3.3 million in 2014. The increase in revenues reflects AdCare’s transition from an operator of facilities to a healthcare property holding and leasing company. The financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of full year results since leasing and subleasing activity occurred throughout the year.

The net loss attributable to AdCare common stockholders in the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $10.2 million, or $0.50 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the net loss attributable to AdCare common stockholders was $28.7 million, or $1.46 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $16.2 million, or $0.90 per basic and diluted share, in the year-ago period. The net loss was primarily attributed to weaker operating performance at AdCare’s facilities prior to the transfer of operations to new operators, including higher bad debt expense.

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2015 totaled $2.7 million, as compared with $10.7 million at December 31, 2014. Restricted cash and investments at December 31, 2015 totaled $12.7 million, as compared with $8.8 million at December 31, 2014. Total debt outstanding at December 31, 2015 totaled $125.5 million (which includes $957,800 in liabilities of disposal group held for sale), as compared with $151.4 million at December 31, 2014 which includes $5.2 million in liabilities of disposal group held for sale, $4.0 million of liabilities of disposal group held for use, and $6.0 million in liabilities of a variable interest entity held for sale.
