SUMMARY OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025
(in thousands)
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2024
Revenues
Resident revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $79.3 million as compared to $60.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $18.6 million, or 30.6%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased occupancy, increased average rent rates, and 16 additional operating communities acquired during 2024 (including one unoccupied community).
Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $60.4 million as compared to $46.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $14.1 million, or 30.5%. The increase was attributable to $11.5 million in operating expenses related to the 16 additional communities acquired during 2024 (including one unoccupied community acquired on December 31, 2024), and an increase of $2.6 million in operating expenses related to the remaining owned communities, driven by $1.4 million increases in labor and $1.2 million increases in other operating expenses.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $8.5 million as compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $1.7 million. The increase was primarily a result of increases in labor and employee-related expenses of $1.5 million to support the Company’s 2024 acquisitions and growth initiatives, and a $0.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a net decrease in other expenses of $0.2 million.
Transaction, transition and restructuring costs were $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The costs include legal, audit, banking and other costs to support the Company’s recent debt, restructuring, as well as investments by the Company.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $9.4 million as compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $0.8 million, primarily due to the incremental borrowings associated with the Company’s 2024 community acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease in the Company’s Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based variable rate debt.
Gain on extinguishment of debt, net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $38.1 million related to the derecognition of notes payable and liabilities as a result of the February 2, 2024 repurchase of the total outstanding principal balance of $74.4 million from a previous lender that was secured by seven of the Company’s senior living communities.
As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company reported net loss attributable to Sonida shareholders of $12.5 million and net income attributable to Sonida shareholders of $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Credit Facility
During 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement with BMO Bank, N.A. and Royal Bank of Canada for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility has a borrowing capacity of up to $150.0 million, a term of three years, a leverage-based pricing matrix between SOFR plus 2.10% margin and SOFR plus 2.60% margin and is fully recourse to Sonida Senior Living, Inc. and its applicable subsidiaries. The borrowing base by which borrowing availability under the Credit Facility is determined is generally based upon the value of the senior living communities that secure the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, $60.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 6.9%, which was secured by 13 of the Company’s senior living communities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has availability of $43.2 million under the Credit Facility.

In addition to $14.0 million of unrestricted cash as of March 31, 2025, our future liquidity will depend in part upon our operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions, and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Principal sources of liquidity are expected to be cash flows from operations, proceeds from equity offerings, including sales of common stock under our ATM Sales Agreement (as defined below), borrowings under our Credit Facility, proceeds from debt, proceeds from debt refinancings or loan modifications, and proceeds from the sale of owned assets. During 2024, we completed the private placement of our common stock pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of approximately 5.0 million shares of our common stock to several of our shareholders for gross cash proceeds of $47.8 million, which enabled us to purchase all the Company’s debt then outstanding with a certain lender at a substantial discount, as well as fund future working capital and growth initiatives. Additional financing of $24.8 million for the debt purchase was provided by an expansion of the Company’s existing Ally Bank term loan. In addition, during April 2024, the Company entered into the At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”), whereby the Company may sell, at its option and subject to market conditions, shares of its common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $75,000,000. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has received $18.7 million in net proceeds from the ATM sales. During August 2024, the Company completed a public offering and issued 4.8 million shares of common stock for net proceeds of $124.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the Company’s offering expenses. During August 2024, the Company entered into its Credit Facility in which borrowing availability is determined based upon the value of the senior living communities that secure the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding borrowings under its Credit Facility of $60.0 million and availability of $43.2 million. These transactions are expected to provide additional financial flexibility to us and increase our liquidity position.
The Company, from time to time, considers and evaluates financial and capital raising transactions related to its portfolio, including debt financing and refinancings, purchases and sales of assets, equity offerings, and other transactions. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels, or that the Company will be able to obtain the capital necessary to meet the Company’s short- and long-term capital requirements.
Recent changes in the current economic environment, and other future changes, could result in decreases in the fair value of assets, slowing of transactions, and the tightening of liquidity and credit markets. These impacts could make securing debt or refinancings for the Company or prospective buyers of the Company’s properties more difficult or on terms not acceptable to the Company. The Company’s actual liquidity and capital funding requirements depend on numerous factors, including its operating results, its capital expenditures for community investment, and general economic conditions, as well as other factors described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025.

Safe Harbor

Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 17, 2025, and also include the following: the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, proceeds from equity issuances and debt financings, and proceeds from the sale of assets to satisfy its short and long-term debt obligations and to fund the Company’s acquisitions and capital improvement projects to expand, redevelop, and/or reposition its senior living communities; elevated market interest rates that increase the cost of certain of our debt obligations; increased competition for, or a shortage of, skilled workers, including due to general labor market conditions, along with wage pressures resulting from such increased competition, low unemployment levels, use of contract labor, minimum wage increases and/or changes in immigration or overtime laws; the Company’s ability to obtain additional capital on terms acceptable to it; the Company’s ability to extend or refinance its existing debt as such debt matures; the Company’s compliance with its debt agreements, including certain financial covenants and the risk of cross-default in the event such non-compliance occurs; the Company’s ability to complete acquisitions and dispositions upon favorable terms or at all, including the possibility that the expected benefits and the Company’s projections related to such acquisitions may not materialize as expected; the risk of oversupply and increased competition in the markets which the Company operates; the Company’s ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and remediate the identified material weakness discussed in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024; the cost and difficulty of complying with applicable licensure, legislative oversight, or regulatory changes; changes in reimbursement rates, methods or timing of payment under government reimbursement programs, including Medicaid; risks associated with current global economic conditions and general economic factors such as elevated labor costs due to shortages of medical and non-medical staff, competition in the labor market, increased costs of salaries, wages and benefits, and immigration laws, the consumer price index, commodity costs, fuel and other energy costs, supply chain disruptions, increased insurance costs, tariffs, elevated interest rates and tax rates; the impact from or the potential emergence and effects of a future epidemic, pandemic, outbreak of infectious disease or other health crisis; the Company’s ability to maintain the security and functionality of its information systems, to prevent a cybersecurity attack or breach, and to comply with applicable privacy and consumer protection laws, including HIPAA; and changes in accounting principles and interpretations.
