Alaris Equity Partners Income Trust Releases Q1 2021 Financial Results
https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/...q1-2021-financial-results Q1 2021 Highlights :
* Generated revenue of $32.2 million in the quarter, in line with the previous guidance, or $0.79 per unit; * Normalized EBITDA was $28.8 million, an increase of 22.4% on a per unit basis compared to Q1 2020. The increase is a result of the approximate $350.0 million of capital deployment over the preceding twelve months to March 31, 2021; * Capital deployment in Q1 2021 of approximately $180.0 million: * New partner contribution of US$40.0 million to Falcon Master Holdings LLC (" FNC "), (US$32.2 million of preferred equity and a US$7.8 million minority common equity investment). During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Alaris received US$0.3 million in common distributions from FNC; * New partner contribution of US$66.0 million to Brown & Settle Investments, LLC and a subsidiary thereof (collectively, " Brown & Settle "), (US$53.7 million of a combination of subordinated debt and preferred equity and a US$12.3 minority common equity investment); * Follow-on contribution to Accscient, LLC (" Accscient ") of US$8.0 million; and * New partner contribution of US$22.5 million of preferred equity to 3E, LLC (" 3E "). An additional US$7.5 million has been placed into an escrow account to fund up to two additional preferred unit tranches, once escrow targets are met by 3E. * Included in earnings in Q1 2021 is a total increase in the fair value of investments of approximately $5.5 million as well as a bad debt recovery of $4.0 million. The recovery of bad debt is a reversal of previously recorded credit losses related to long-term accounts receivable and promissory notes due from Kimco Holdings, LLC (" Kimco ") as their credit risk has improved substantially as a result of the continued success of the business. Also, subsequent to March 31, 2021, Kimco repaid from cash flow US$4.0 million of the total US$18.3 million of accrued long-term accounts receivable and promissory notes due to Alaris; * Beginning January 2021, PFGP began to pay partial distributions of US$0.33 million per month (US$4.0 million per annum) and will continue to do so until June 2021. While nothing can be assured, based on PFGP's current forecast including membership numbers and bank covenants, Alaris currently expect that beginning in July 2021 distributions will return to full contracted amounts. A return to full distributions would add $0.11 per unit of cash flow and reduce Alaris' pay out ratio by approximately 4%; and * Both Federal Resources Supply Company (" FED ") and Kimco are continuing to evaluate the possibility of a full or partial redemption of Alaris' investment. Nothing is imminent, nor can any redemption be assured; however, the redemption value of FED is estimated to be between US$75.0 million and US$85.0 million and Kimco's is based upon a revised formula factoring in several valuation factors and is estimated to be between US$70.0 million and US$80.0 million. "We are pleased to be putting out a first quarter as guided, which saw revenues increase from the capital deployed in the last two quarters" said Darren Driscoll, CFO. "Expected redemptions from FED and Kimco will provide capital for further growth while maintaining our low payout ratio", said Mr. Driscoll.
