SELECTIS HEALTH, INC. (GBCS)·Q1 2021 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Record revenue of $5.76M (+49.6% y/y) and positive net income of $0.24M ($0.01 diluted EPS) as Healthcare Services expanded despite low census and COVID headwinds .
- Operating cash flow was negative (-$0.66M) due to reopening costs (Oklahoma City Park Place), onetime weather-related repairs in Tulsa, and COVID expenditures; PPP forgiveness ($0.676M) and other income ($0.432M) offset operating losses .
- Management highlighted reopening of Oklahoma City (106 beds) with CMS certification process underway, rebranding to Selectis Health, and a plan to get all locations cash flow positive within 18 months .
- Near-term catalysts: HUD refinancing (targeting an $8.2M mortgage close, extensions on others), Tulsa repair completion (~60 days), COVID tailwinds and census recovery over 3–6 months per facility; risk: ~$13M debt maturing in 2021 and elevated G&A as operator model scales .

Management Commentary
- “On average, we found it takes 3 to 6 months to fully recover from an outbreak per facility. We still have some lingering effects… and we expect to have similar results in the second quarter” .
- “We officially reopened our Oklahoma facility… have 106 licensed beds… and began accepting private pay patients… we will begin our CMS certification process” .
- “Total shareholder equity increased from $3.4 million to $3.6 million… Operating cash flow used… negative $664,000… primarily due to reopening and lower revenues and increased costs due to COVID” .
- “It is more likely than not that the company will be the new operator of [Warrenton and Sparta] facilities” (Georgia) .
- “The future of the company is bright… We hope to get all of our locations cash flow positive over the next 18 months” .
Q&A Highlights
- Debt maturities and refinancing: Management expects to close an ~$8.2M HUD mortgage by July and extend two other mortgages; current properties are performing and should be extended .
- Subordinated debt and high-coupon notes: Plan to refinance via HUD, line-of-credit, and a Tulsa liquidity event rather than using cash; aim for lower interest rates .
- Onetime/Q1 charges: ~$450,000 onetime costs tied to COVID, Park Place reopening, and extreme cold weather impacts; expect normalization except for ongoing Tulsa upgrades .
- Census trajectory: Census worsened from 12/31 due to COVID; Eastman ~89–90% recovered; Tulsa off ~30 patients until repairs; company to add census as a reported metric going forward .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Revenue inflection with operator model scaling: Healthcare Services drove record sales and positive EPS; watch occupancy recovery and margin normalization as COVID impacts recede .
- Near-term operational headwinds appear transitory: Tulsa weather repairs (~60 days) and post-COVID census rebuild (3–6 months/facility) should fade through Q2–Q3; Oklahoma City CMS certification/billing is a tangible upside driver .
- Liquidity management and refinancing are pivotal: ~$13M 2021 maturities targeted for HUD refinance/extension; closing timelines and terms are key to de-risking the balance sheet .
- Cash flow path: Negative operating cash in Q1 driven by onetime items; management targets all locations cash flow positive within 18 months—monitor Q2/Q3 cash from operations and capex cadence .
- G&A scaling: Higher G&A ratio reflects operator model transition; look for efficiency gains from the new expense/accounting platform to improve run-rate SG&A .
- Policy support and PPP forgiveness helped offset costs: PPP forgiveness ($0.676M) recognized; additional ~$0.12M anticipated—one-off support, not recurring .
- Trading implications: Near-term results may be noisy (repairs, census rebuild); catalysts are HUD closings, CMS certification, and occupancy prints—position sizing should consider refinancing execution risk and working capital deficit .
