Analysis · SNDA · Industrial Applications And Services
The first full quarter following the $1.8B CNL Healthcare merger reveals robust operating momentum: Same-Store NOI climbed 16.9% on a 240-basis-point occupancy gain, pushing Adjusted EBITDA to $50M. A new $380M Ally Term Loan priced at SOFR+185bps replaces higher-cost bridge and term debt, trimming interest expense and extending maturities. Meanwhile, the ATM program raised $27.3M at $41.05 per share to fund near-term acquisitions. These results validate the merger thesis and fortify the balance sheet, though the net loss of $0.52 per share reflects ongoing integration costs.
