Asset Recycling
On August 18, 2016, pursuant to a tenant purchase option, the Company completed the sale of a public charter school located in Colorado for net proceeds of $5.4 million. In connection with this sale, the Company recognized a gain on sale of $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016. This gain represents the premium charged to the tenant over the total development cost for early lease termination in accordance with the purchase option in the lease. This termination fee has been included in FFO as adjusted, similar to how other lease termination fees and fees received for early prepayment of mortgage notes receivable are reflected when applicable.
On September 30, 2016, the Company completed the sale of a land parcel located in Texas for net proceeds of $2.1 million. In connection with this sale, the Company recognized a gain on sale of $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016. This gain has been excluded from FFO as adjusted.
Through September 30, 2016, the Company has received net proceeds of approximately $90.0 million from asset dispositions and anticipates an additional $125.0 million to $200.0 million in proceeds from asset dispositions during the fourth quarter of 2016, including $85 million of expected sales of public charter schools operated by Imagine Schools, Inc. In 2017, the Company expects an additional $150.0 million to $200.0 million of disposition proceeds, including another $50.0 million in the first quarter of public charter schools operated by Imagine Schools, Inc. The Company's ability to consummate these asset dispositions, as well as the terms of these dispositions, including the amount of proceeds from such dispositions, will depend upon market and other conditions. As a result, there can be no assurances that these asset dispositions will occur nor can there be any assurances as to the terms or timing of, or the amount of proceeds from, these asset dispositions.
Balance Sheet Update
The Company had a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) of 5.2x at September 30, 2016. The Company had $7.3 million of unrestricted cash on hand and $200.0 million outstanding under its $650 million unsecured revolving credit facility at September 30, 2016.
During the quarter, the Company prepaid in full seven mortgage notes payable totaling $38.1 million with an average annual interest rate of 6.07%.
As previously announced, on August 22, 2016, the Company issued $340.0 million of senior unsecured notes in a private placement transaction. The notes were issued in two tranches with $148.0 million bearing interest at 4.35% and due August 22, 2024, and $192.0 million bearing interest at 4.56% and due August 22, 2026. The notes are guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries that guarantee the Company's unsecured credit facilities and existing senior unsecured notes.
Dividend Information
The Company declared regular monthly cash dividends during the third quarter of 2016 totaling $0.96 per common share. This dividend represents an annualized dividend of $3.84 per common share, an increase of 5.8% over the prior year, and would be the Company's sixth consecutive year with an annual dividend increase.
The Company also declared third quarter cash dividends of $0.359375 per share on its 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares, $0.5625 per share on its 9.00% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares and $0.4140625 per share on its 6.625% Series F cumulative redeemable preferred shares.
2016 Guidance
The Company is increasing its 2016 guidance for FFO as adjusted per diluted share to a range of $4.75 to $4.82 from a range of $4.72 to $4.82. In addition, the Company is maintaining 2016 investment spending guidance at a range of $650 million to $700 million.
FFO as adjusted guidance for 2016 is based on FFO per diluted share of $4.68 to $4.75 adjusted for estimated costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff, gain on insurance recovery, transaction costs, gain on sale of land, termination fees related to public charter schools and deferred income tax expense. FFO per diluted share is based on a net income per diluted share range of $3.12 to $3.23 less estimated gain on sale of real estate of a range of $0.08 to $0.12 and the impact of Series C dilution of $0.03, plus estimated real estate depreciation of $1.67 per diluted share (in accordance with the NAREIT definition of FFO).
Discussion of CNL Asset Acquisition Agreement
As outlined in a separate release, subsequent to quarter-end the Company entered into a definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement with CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. ("CNL Lifestyle") and funds affiliated with Och-Ziff Real Estate ("OZRE"). The agreement provides for the Company's acquisition of the Northstar California Ski Resort, 15 attraction properties (waterparks and amusement parks) and five small family entertainment centers for aggregate consideration valued at approximately $456 million. Additionally, the Company has agreed to provide approximately $244 million of five-year secured debt financing to OZRE for the purchase of 14 CNL Lifestyle ski properties valued at approximately $374 million. The Company's aggregate investment in this transaction is projected to be valued at approximately $700 million and is expected to be funded with approximately $647 million of EPR common shares and $53 million of cash before pro-rations, transaction costs and closing adjustments, a portion of which is expected to be included in the secured debt financing to OZRE. Additionally, the Company has agreed to fund 65% of pre-approved, future property improvements if requested by OZRE, with such advances capped at $52 million. All OZRE financing will bear interest at 8.5%.
The Company's common share consideration is subject to a two-way collar between $68.25 and $82.63 per share. If the Company's volume weighted average share price over the 10 trading days ending on the second trading day prior to close (the "Average EPR Share Price") increases between the signing of the agreement and the closing, CNL Lifestyle will receive fewer shares until the Average EPR Share Price reaches $82.63, at which point the number of shares will be fixed at approximately 7.8 million. Conversely, if the Company's share price decreases between signing and closing, CNL Lifestyle will receive more shares until the Average EPR Share Price reaches $68.25, at which point the number of shares will be fixed at approximately 9.5 million. Post-transaction, CNL Lifestyle will own between approximately 11% and 13% of the pro forma common shares outstanding before distributing the shares to the CNL Lifestyle shareholders.
This transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the transaction by stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of CNL Lifestyle and various third party consents and governmental permits. It is anticipated that this transaction will close in early second quarter of 2017.
2017 Guidance
The Company is also introducing its 2017 guidance for FFO as adjusted per diluted share of a range of $5.05 to $5.20. In addition, the Company is introducing its 2017 investment spending guidance of a range of $1.30 billion to $1.35 billion. In addition to the on-going investments in each of our primary business segments, this guidance includes the estimated impact of the planned acquisition of certain recreation assets from CNL Lifestyle as well as the estimated impact of planned asset sales, both of which are discussed further above. There can be no assurances that these transactions will occur.
FFO as adjusted guidance for 2017 is based on FFO per diluted share of $4.70 to $4.81 adjusted for estimated transaction costs, termination fees related to public charter schools and deferred income tax expense. FFO per diluted share is based on a net income per diluted share range of $3.42 to $3.57 less estimated gain on sale of real estate of a range of $0.42 to $0.46 and the impact of Series C and Series E dilution of $0.05, plus estimated real estate depreciation of $1.75 per diluted share (in accordance with the NAREIT definition of FFO).

| (A) | NAREIT developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP and management provides FFO herein because it believes this information is useful to investors in this regard. FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share. Pursuant to the definition of FFO by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, the Company calculates FFO as net income available to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales [or acquisitions] of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company has calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this definition. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of our operations or our cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP. In addition to FFO, the Company presents FFO as adjusted. Management believes it is useful to provide it here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share. FFO as adjusted is FFO plus provision for loan losses, costs (gain) associated with loan refinancing or payoff, net, retirement severance expense, preferred share redemption costs, termination fees associated with tenants' exercises of public charter school buy-out options and transaction costs (benefit), less gain on early extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on sale of land, gain on insurance recovery and deferred tax benefit (expense). FFO as adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO as adjusted does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of the Company's operations, cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP. It should also be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO or FFO as adjusted the same way so comparisons of each of these non-GAAP measures with other REITs may not be meaningful. | |
The conversion of the 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares would be dilutive to FFO per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the three months ended September 30, 2015 and to FFOAA per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Therefore, the additional 2.0 million common shares that would result from the conversion and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are included in the calculation of diluted FFO and diluted FFOAA per share for these periods. The additional 2.0 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted per share data for the remaining periods above because the effect is not dilutive. The effect of the conversion of our 9.0% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares and the additional 1.6 million common shares that would result from the conversion do not result in more dilution to per share results and are therefore not included in the calculation of diluted per share data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is a supplemental measure derived from non-GAAP financial measures the Company uses to evaluate its capital structure and the magnitude of its debt against its operating performance. The Company believes that investors commonly use versions of this ratio in a similar manner. In addition, financial institutions use versions of this ratio in connection with debt agreements to set pricing and covenant limitations. The Company's method of calculating Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Reconciliations of debt and net income available to common shareholders (both reported in accordance with GAAP) to Net Debt, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio (each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure) are included in the following tables (unaudited, in thousands):
| September 30, | ||||||||
| 2016 | 2015 | |||||||
| Net Debt: (B) | ||||||||
| Debt | $ | 2,248,576 | $ | 2,018,354 | ||||
| Deferred financing costs, net | 18,885 | 19,101 | ||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | (7,311 | ) | (14,614 | ) | ||||
| Net Debt | $ | 2,260,150 | $ | 2,022,841 | ||||
| Three Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2016 | 2015 | |||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA: (C) | ||||||||
| Net income available to common shareholders of EPR Properties | $ | 51,575 | $ | 44,244 | ||||
| Costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff | 14 | 18 | ||||||
| Interest expense, net | 24,265 | 20,529 | ||||||
| Transaction costs | 2,947 | 783 | ||||||
| Depreciation and amortization | 27,601 | 23,498 | ||||||
| Equity in income from joint ventures | (203 | ) | (339 | ) | ||||
| (Gain) loss on sale of real estate | (1,615 | ) | 95 | |||||
| Income tax expense (1) | 358 | 527 | ||||||
| Preferred dividend requirements | 5,951 | 5,951 | ||||||
| Gain on insurance recovery (2) | (1,825 | ) | — | |||||
| Adjusted EBITDA (for the quarter) | $ | 109,068 | $ | 95,306 | ||||
| Adjusted EBITDA (3) | $ | 436,272 | $ | 381,224 | ||||
| Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA Ratio | 5.2 | 5.3 | ||||||
| (1) Includes discontinued operations | ||||||||
| (2) Included in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Other income includes the following: | ||||||||
| Three Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2016 | 2015 | |||||||
| Income from settlement of foreign currency swap contracts | $ | 643 | $ | 662 | ||||
| Gain on insurance recovery | 1,825 | — | ||||||
| Miscellaneous income | 8 | 56 | ||||||
| Other income | $ | 2,476 | $ | 718 | ||||
| (3) Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter is multiplied by four to calculate an annual amount. | ||||||||
| (B) | Net Debt represents debt (reported in accordance with GAAP) adjusted to exclude deferred financing costs, net and reduced for cash and cash equivalents. By excluding deferred financing costs, net and reducing debt for cash and cash equivalents on hand, the result provides an estimate of the contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, net of cash available to repay it. The Company believes this calculation constitutes a beneficial supplemental non-GAAP financial disclosure to investors in understanding our financial condition. The Company's method of calculating Net Debt may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. | |
| (C) | Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in its analysis of the performance of the business and operations of the Company. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it excludes various items that management believes are not indicative of operating performance, and that it is an informative measure to use in computing various financial ratios to evaluate the Company. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income available to common shareholders excluding costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff, interest expense (net), depreciation and amortization, equity in (income) loss from joint ventures, gain (loss) on the sale of real estate, gain on insurance recovery, income tax expense (benefit), preferred dividend requirements, the effect of non-cash impairment charges, retirement severance expense, the provision for loan losses and transaction costs (benefit), and which is then multiplied by four to get an annual amount. | |
|
The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under GAAP, does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. |
