Orlando, Fla., March 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CNL Healthcare Properties, a real estate investment trust focused on seniors housing, announced that its board of directors unanimously approved an estimated net asset value (NAV) per share of $6.92 as of Dec. 31, 2022. The company’s previous estimated NAV was $7.37 per share as of Dec. 31, 2021.
The decrease in the company’s 2022 NAV of $0.45 per share as compared to the 2021 NAV was generally driven by disrupted economic and transaction environments including persisting inflationary pressures, a meaningfully higher debt interest rate environment and a tighter lending environment and higher discount rates applied to future cash flows.
As the company has done since 2018, the estimated NAV includes a deduction for CNL Healthcare Properties’ current projection of estimated transaction costs in a hypothetical orderly disposition of the company’s real estate portfolio.
“We experienced positive and encouraging occupancy and rental rate momentum during 2022, while impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the seniors housing industry persisted. Specifically, our operators and properties continue to face the lingering effects of elevated staffing costs and increased operating expenses due to inflation. These challenges are reflected in our most recent NAV,” said Stephen H. Mauldin, president and CEO of CNL Healthcare Properties. “We remain optimistic about the future of the needs-based seniors housing industry and our national portfolio as we believe we are on the path to expanding occupancy and operating margins further, from pandemic-driven low watermarks. We also remain fully committed to our readiness, active study and pursuit of additional strategic opportunities to provide incremental liquidity to our shareholders as the economic and transactional environments permit.”
The valuation was conducted by Robert A. Stanger & Co. Inc (Stanger), an independent third-party valuation firm, in accordance with the company’s valuation policy and the guidelines set forth by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives, the leading trade association for non-listed direct investment programs. Stanger provided CNL Healthcare Properties with a NAV range of $6.57 to $7.30 per share. The valuation committee, comprised exclusively of the company’s independent directors, unanimously recommended $6.92 as the estimated NAV per share, and the recommendation was unanimously adopted by the board of directors.
