(\u201cSabra\u201d) (Nasdaq: SBRA) announced that it will transition the 24-property portfolio previously leased to North American Health Care, Inc. (\u201cNorth American\u201d) to two of Sabra\u2019s existing tenants, The Ensign Group (\u201cEnsign\u201d) (Nasdaq: ENSG) and the Avamere Family of Companies (\u201cAvamere\u201d).\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20221107005321\/en\/720475\/5\/Sabra_Logo.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\nAfter giving effect to this transition, Ensign will become one of Sabra\u2019s largest tenants, representing about 8% of Annualized Cash NOI, while Avamere will remain one of Sabra\u2019s largest tenants, also accounting for roughly 8% of Annualized Cash NOI.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSabra believes this transition represents a unique opportunity to improve the long-term value of this high-quality real estate portfolio, noting the enhanced credit profile that supports its rental income, highlighted by Ensign\u2019s corporate guaranty and $5 billion equity market capitalization.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe transition of these facilities to Ensign operating companies and Avamere is expected to be completed by February 1, 2023 and remains subject to the completion of certain regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. Sabra expects to recognize a total of $14.7 million in revenue from these facilities during the fourth quarter through the end of the transition period, which approximates the rent Sabra would have received during this timeframe under the previous leases with North American.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHighlights:\n<\/p>\n<p>Ensign will add 20 properties located in California to two master leases with Ensign operating companies with initial terms of 18 and 20 years, each with an accompanying corporate guarantee from The Ensign Group, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>The initial annual rent attributable to the 20 properties will be $29.4 million, with CPI-based annual rent escalators not to exceed 2.5%<\/p>\n<p>Avamere will add 4 properties located in Washington to its existing master lease, which includes 9 other properties in Washington, with an initial term of 13 years<\/p>\n<p>The initial annual rent attributable to the 4 additional properties leased to Avamere will be $5.1 million, with an annual rent escalator of 2.75%<\/p>\n<p>Pro-forma for this transition, EBITDARM coverage for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022 on the 24 properties is 1.68X<\/p>\n<p>\nCommenting on the news, Rick Matros, CEO and Chair of Sabra, said, &#8220;This is an opportunity to expand our relationship with Ensign, substantially improving the credit profile of our portfolio. Importantly, adding the four properties to Avamere\u2019s existing Washington facilities enhances that portfolio as well, even more so after consideration of the recent increase in Washington\u2019s Medicaid rates of nearly 20%.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBarry Port, Ensign\u2019s Chief Executive Officer added, \u201cWe are honored that Sabra will be entrusting us with the operation of this portfolio and are very excited to expand our growing relationship with them. These California operations are a perfect fit with our existing footprint in one of our strongest and most mature markets. We look forward to working together with the outstanding leaders and teams already in place in these operations to build on the strong clinical and operational reputations they have earned in their communities.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAlso commenting on the announcement, Rick Miller, CEO of Avamere, stated \u201cSabra has been, and continues to be a valuable, highly regarded and collaborative partner to Avamere, our valued workforce, and our customers. We are eager to add Avamere\u2019s unparalleled culture of quality patient centered care with the outstanding leadership and care teams at these newly acquired facilities. The North American portfolio represents the right geographic and strategic fit for Avamere in our growing Pacific Northwest footprint that aligns with our relationships with local hospitals and Med Advantage partners.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAbout Sabra\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSabra Health Care REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, operates as a self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (a &#8220;REIT&#8221;) that, through its subsidiaries, owns and invests in real estate serving the healthcare industry throughout the United States and Canada.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAbout Ensign(TM)\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Ensign Group, Inc.&#8217;s independent operating subsidiaries provide a broad spectrum of skilled nursing and senior living services, physical, occupational and speech therapies and other rehabilitative and healthcare services at 269 healthcare facilities in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin.
