LTC PROPERTIES INC (LTC)·Q1 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Introduced RIDEA/SHOP strategy at scale: converted 12 Anthem properties to SHOP on May 1 and expect one New Perspective conversion in 2Q; issued first full-year 2025 guidance including SHOP NOI of $9.4–$10.3m for the remaining eight months .
  • Q1 2025 results were stable on cash metrics: Diluted Core FFO/share $0.65 vs $0.64 YoY; Core FAD/share $0.70 vs $0.67 YoY, despite lower total revenues ($49.0m vs $51.4m YoY) due to lapping 2024 one-time rent and lower mortgage income from payoffs .
  • Balance sheet/liquidity positioned for growth with ~$681m total liquidity and debt to annualized Adjusted EBITDAre of 4.3x; fixed charge coverage improved to 5.0x .
  • Street context: Q1 was roughly in line to slightly better vs consensus—revenue beat (~$49.0m vs $48.9m*), Primary EPS roughly in line ($0.45 vs $0.46*), and FFO/share in line ($0.65 vs $0.65*)—with catalysts from SHOP ramp, asset sales, and a $300m pipeline (~50% RIDEA) highlighted on the call .
  • Dividend supported by cash flow: monthly $0.19/share for Q2 2025; Core FAD guidance of $2.78–$2.82/share implies healthy coverage of the $2.28/share annualized dividend .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Core cash metrics improved: Diluted Core FFO/share $0.65 (vs $0.64) and Core FAD/share $0.70 (vs $0.67) on lower interest expense, rent increases, and JV income .
  • Strategic execution: “Through our RIDEA platform, we now have a SHOP portfolio totaling $176 million in gross book value… The implementation of our RIDEA strategy has resulted in an increase in our investment pipeline…” .
  • Capital strength and coverage: debt to annualized Adjusted EBITDAre 4.3x and fixed charge coverage 5.0x; liquidity ~$681m to fund growth .

What Went Wrong

  • Revenue down YoY (–$2.3m): lapped a $2.377m one-time rent credit in 2024; lower revenue from sales and mortgage payoffs .
  • Provision for credit losses increased ($3.1m) tied to working capital note/interest write-off related to RIDEA conversion; also lower gain on sale YoY .
  • Portfolio churn/uncertainty: operator elected not to renew master lease on 7 SNFs; LTC is selling all seven with closings expected in 4Q25 (one under contract), replacing at least $8.3m of 2025 GAAP rent through redeployment .

Management Commentary

  • “This year is off to a great start… RIDEA platform… SHOP portfolio totaling $176 million… pipeline stands at $300 million, of which RIDEA opportunities represent approximately 50%.” — Clint Malin .
  • “Core FFO… grew to $0.65… Core FAD… increased $0.70… Today, we are providing a full year 2025 guidance for core FFO per share between $2.65 and $2.69, and core FAD per share of between $2.78 and $2.82.” — CFO Cece Chikhale .
  • “We expect SHOP to represent a growing share of our portfolio as we scale our platform… building a resilient performance-driven portfolio structured for long-term value creation.” — Pam Kessler .
  • “Prestige… expect to receive full contractual interest at least through May 2026.” — Gibson Satterwhite .

Q&A Highlights

  • SHOP NOI methodology and trajectory: 2024 pro forma occupancy ~85%; assume 85% in 2025 with upside from Anthem lease-up; projected full-year $15.2m vs $14.0m in 2024; targeting 87% occupancy by end-2025 with cost efficiencies .
  • Pipeline yields/diversification: Target ~7% going-in yields on SHOP improving to 7.5–8% with rate/ramp; focus on 1–2 asset deals to manage operator concentration; several off-market opportunities .
  • Further triple-net to SHOP conversions: No large-scale internal conversions planned; growth to come primarily from external RIDEA plus traditional leases/loans .
  • New Perspective $6.5m termination fee: Compensates value created and fosters growth partnership in SHOP .
  • Operator watchlist: Genesis current on rent; no assistance requested; portfolio in core markets with strong coverage .
  • ALG outlook: No deferrals in Q1; occupancy +150 bps YTD; NC Medicaid eligibility expansion expected to broaden addressable pool .

Estimates Context

  • Q1 2025 versus S&P Global consensus: revenue ~$49.0m actual vs ~$48.9m* consensus (slight beat); diluted EPS $0.45 actual vs ~$0.46* consensus (roughly in line); FFO/share $0.65 actual vs ~$0.65* consensus (in line) .
  • Forward estimates (Street): FFO/share consensus for Q2 and Q3 2025 of ~$0.67–$0.67* aligns with LTC’s initial SHOP ramp commentary; revenue estimates step up into 2H as SHOP contributes more* (Street figures subject to revision post-guide).
  • Where estimates may adjust: Guidance implies FY Core FFO/share $2.65–$2.69 and Core FAD/share $2.78–$2.82; higher G&A and SHOP ramp costs are embedded; asset sales and redeployment timing (7 SNFs) could shift 2H mix .
    Values marked with * are retrieved from S&P Global.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • SHOP/RIDEA is now a tangible growth vector with $176m of assets converted and a defined NOI bridge for 2025; execution on occupancy and expense efficiency, particularly at Anthem, is the near-term driver .
  • Core cash metrics are trending up YoY (Core FFO/share and Core FAD/share) despite lower GAAP revenue—reinforcing the relevance of LTC’s FFO/FAD lens for dividend sustainability .
  • Balance sheet capacity (liquidity ~$681m, 4.3x leverage, 5.0x coverage) supports external growth as the $300m pipeline (half RIDEA) converts; expect small deal cadence to manage concentration risk .
  • Asset sale program (7 SNFs) is an overhang but is planned to close in 4Q25 with proceeds recycled into higher-return opportunities; management targets at least $8.3m GAAP rent replacement via redeployment .
  • Policy tailwinds (NC Medicaid eligibility) and market-based rent resets ($5.1m expected in 2025 vs $3.4m in 2024) provide incremental upside to cash rents beyond SHOP .
  • Dividend visibility remains solid: Q2 monthly $0.19; Core FAD guidance implies comfortable payout coverage, even with SHOP capex and elevated G&A embedded .
  • Trading setup: Estimate revisions should drift toward guidance midpoints as SHOP ramps and sales close; watch quarterly SHOP NOI and occupancy prints, G&A run-rate, and capital recycling progress for inflection cues .
