See below for a reconciliation of all GAAP and non-GAAP financial results.
CEO Remarks
Commenting on the quarter, Jay McKnight, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our Diversicare team continues to impress during an ever-evolving time in our industry. When we reported our first quarter results, our COVID-19 case count had dropped to nearly zero in our centers. The widespread Delta variant has brought cases to our patients, residents, and team members in many of our centers; however, our clinical team has responded rapidly to reinforce our clinical best practices for infection control. Our team remains committed to caring for the most vulnerable members of society in our markets.”
Mr. McKnight continued, "Our quarter’s financial results follow our trend of positive net income and overall improved financial results. Our expense control efforts are working and our efficiency gains have been key in our survival of the pandemic. We could not be more proud of the Diversicare team and how they continue to respond to the challenges that the pandemic puts upon our industry.”
COVID-19 Update
During 2020 and through the second quarter of 2021, we experienced reduced occupancy at our centers and incurred additional expenses preparing for and responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the second quarter of 2021, we incurred $6.4 million of additional healthcare related expenses, inclusive of labor costs and the increased cost of personal protective equipment, testing, and certain other infection control supplies. We anticipate that we will continue to incur additional healthcare related expenses and lost revenue arising from the pandemic.
As of June 30, 2021, we have received $51.6 million of Provider Relief Funds. To date, we have recognized $38.8 million of the funds to offset the increased healthcare-related expenses that we have incurred and the lost revenue that resulted from reduced occupancy, of which $8.5 million was recognized during the second quarter of 2021. We have utilized $2.3 million of Provider Relief Funds to finance capital improvements to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The remaining Provider Relief Funds of $10.5 million as of June 30, 2021, were classified as deferred income on our consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, several of our states have temporarily increased Medicaid and Hospice rates, resulting in $5.8 million of additional patient services revenue during the second quarter of 2021, and certain states provided $0.1 million of other financial assistance to aid us in managing through the pandemic.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) have issued guidance to long-term care facilities to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including restrictions on visitation, nonessential workers and communal activities, among other measures. On May 18, 2020, CMS provided “reopening” recommendations for state and local officials to determine the level of mitigation needed to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 in nursing homes, including criteria for relaxing various restrictions. On March 10, 2021, CMS updated its guidance for visitation in nursing homes to account for the availability of COVID-19 vaccines, further relaxing visitation restrictions while emphasizing the importance of maintaining infection prevention practices. CMS has also announced COVID-19 reporting requirements and focused infection control surveys intended to assess long-term care facility compliance with infection control requirements in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. CDC guidance includes infection prevention and control practices intended to protect both nursing home residents and healthcare personnel.
Although social contact restrictions have eased across the U.S., some restrictions remain in place, and some states have continued to impose or re-imposed certain restrictions due to increasing rates of COVID-19 cases. CMS has also issued reporting guidelines for our centers to follow. Reporting guidance requires us to notify residents and designated representatives of the occurrence of a single confirmed COVID-19 positive case, any subsequent positive cases, any COVID-19 positive new admission, and/or three or more cases of new onset respiratory symptoms occurring within 72 hours. Our centers remain compliant with regular reporting to the CDC and CMS regarding the number of COVID-19 cases in our centers, patient deaths, and other information. This information is reported in accordance with existing privacy regulations and statutes for the safety and well-being of our residents.
We have taken measures to limit the spread of the virus in our centers, including screening protocols for staff, residents and visitors, and we continue to conduct COVID-19 testing in accordance with CMS guidelines. We are committed to keeping our residents and their designated representatives informed as we continue to navigate COVID-19 in our centers. We will continue to report aggregated COVID-19 data for the company on our website at https://dvcr.com/our-response-to-covid-19/ and provide center specific information on each of our center’s websites.

*Excludes COVID-19 stimulus payments
Patient revenues for the second quarter of 2021 were $111.3 million, representing a $7.0 million decrease from the second quarter of 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced quarter over quarter decreases in our Medicare, Medicaid, Private and Hospice average daily census, which resulted in a $10.8 million decrease to patient revenues. Our Medicaid rate increased quarter over quarter, contributing $1.4 million. During the second quarter of 2021, we recognized $5.8 million of Medicaid and Hospice state stimulus funds and $0.6 million of increased revenue from the suspension of sequestration under the provisions of the CARES Act.
Of the $51.6 million of Provider Relief Funds that we have received to date, we recognized $8.5 million of the funds during the second quarter of 2021, which combined with $0.1 million of state Coronavirus relief grant funds, were classified as other operating income in the Company's results of operations. The Provider Relief Funds and state grant funds that we recognized during the quarter were used to offset increased healthcare-related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19.
Operating expense increased as a percentage of revenue to $91.6 million, or 82.3% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2021 from $95.8 million, or 81.0% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in operating expenses was due to COVID-19 related expenses of $6.4 million, which included increased labor costs, testing and the increased costs of personal protective equipment, and infection control supplies. Excluding the increased healthcare-related expenses attributable to COVID-19, we benefited from our cost saving initiatives that favorably impacted certain nursing and ancillary costs in addition to decreased health insurance costs.
Lease expense decreased to $13.3 million in 2021 from $13.5 million in 2020, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 1.9%. The decrease resulted from the Company's transfer of operations for a Florida facility to another operator and the related amendment of a master lease agreement to remove this center and reduce the annual rent expense.
Professional liability expense for the second quarter of 2021 was $1.5 million, representing a decrease of $0.6 million over the second quarter of 2020. Professional liability expense fluctuates from period to period based on the results of our third-party professional liability actuarial studies, the premium costs of purchased insurance, and the costs incurred in defending and settling existing claims.
General and administrative expense was $7.0 million for the second quarter of 2021, representing an increase of $0.1 million over the second quarter of 2020.
Continuing operations reported income before taxes of $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to income from continuing operations of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2020. The provision for income taxes was $0.4 million in 2021 compared to the provision for income taxes of $0.2 million in 2020. The basic and diluted income per common share from continuing operations were $0.43 and $0.42, respectively, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $0.28 for both basic and diluted income per common share from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2020.

We have included certain financial performance and valuation measures in this press release, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net income (loss), which are “non-GAAP financial measures” using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using adjustments to GAAP (non-GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are not measurements under GAAP. These measurements should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for loss from discontinued operations, interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for debt retirement costs. We define EBITDAR as EBITDA adjusted for rent expense. We define Adjusted Net income (loss) as Net income (loss) adjusted for debt retirement costs and loss from discontinued operations.
Our measurements of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net income (loss) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We have included information concerning EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net income (loss) in this press release because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as measures of a company’s historical performance. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net income (loss) should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
We have included EBITDAR in this press release because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as a measure of the Company’s valuation. We believe that EBITDAR is an important financial valuation measure that is commonly used by our management, research analysts, investors, lenders and financial institutions, to compare the enterprise value of different companies in the healthcare industry, without regard to differences in capital structures and leasing arrangements. EBITDAR is a financial valuation measure and is not displayed as a performance measure as it excludes rent expense, which is a normal and recurring operating expense. As such, our presentation of EBITDAR, should not be construed as a financial performance measure.

Exhibit 2
Osmium Partners Issues Letter to Diversicare Board Urging a Substantial Increase in Dividends
• Osmium believes that fair value for Diversicare ( DVCR ) shares is $17-25 per share vs. $9.40 market price.
• Since 2012, Diversicare has increased revenue from $200 million to nearly $600 million in 2017 while EBITDA has increased by a factor of 4.5x.
• Over the last three years, Diversicare has achieved 20% annualized revenue growth with 33% annualized EBITDA growth yet Diversicare’s total annualized shareholder return is -3% and Diversicare’s common stock trades at approximately 6x EV/2017 FFO (funds from operations) and just 0.29x EV/sales.
• Osmium believes Diversicare should increase its dividend from $0.22 to $1.00 per share (an incremental cost of $5 million per year). With a total of nearly $4.00 a share in 2017 in funds from operations, the company would still have sufficient liquidity to execute the continued growth strategy.
• Diversicare is in an unusual situation with a mix of strong growth metrics combined with a low valuation. The lack of analyst coverage and aggressive reinvestment into the core business, combined with low trading volumes that discourage investment currently explain why Diversicare trades at a deep discount.
Dear Diversicare board members,
Osmium Partners, LLC has been a Diversicare stockholder since 2012 and we currently own 9.9% of Diversicare’s common stock. As you are aware, Diversicare’s operating results have been strong with revenue increasing by 165% and EBITDA increasing by nearly 450% since 2012 while the share price has remained unchanged. We believe that fair value for Diversicare’s common stock is between $17 and $25 per share. Despite the high costs of being a public company, including board fees, legal, accounting and audit expenses and management time and effort for presentations, earnings calls, and regulatory filings, Diversicare currently enjoys none of the benefits of being a public company . For example, Diversicare has not had sell side analyst coverage for several years, has had low daily average trading volumes of its stock of $54,000 making it an unattractive investment, has had bid and offer prices for its stock range as much as 5-7%, and most importantly, the business trades for less than 50% of our assessment of fair value. Given this significant gap between the current stock valuation and our estimated fair value we strongly encourage the board to increase the quarterly dividend to $0.25 per share. We believe that with the 10-year treasury yielding 2.2%, Diversicare shares would likely trade at a 5% yield with a 40% pay out based on our assessment of steady state free cash flow. As more fully described in this letter, we believe that increasing the annual dividend to $1.00 per share is the best course of action to not only close the wide valuation gap, but also to attain the benefits of being a publicly traded company with analyst coverage and improved liquidity. Diversicare has a very bright future and it is time to transition from effectively a private company in a public shell to a public company in public shell.
Point 1: In our opinion Diversicare is worth $17-25 per share
Levin & Associates Senior Care Acquisitions Report (Feb 2017) 1 :
“Prices have risen to new heights in skilled nursing, nearly surpassing $100,000 per bed at $99,200 per bed….skilled nursing has grown more and more enticing to investors, despite its many risks. With cap rates remaining relatively high, a buyer can achieve an unlevered cash on cash return of between 12-13%....When a typical 65-75% debt ratio is applied, and with debt costs so low, the levered return can be above 20%.”

Sum-of-the-Parts (SOTP) Analysis:
Osmium believes the average value of an owned bed is between $80K-110K and the average value of a leased bed is between $10K and $15K, the main difference being lease expense. Diversicare owns 1,600 beds and leases 6,950 beds. We reach a sum-of-the-parts valuation for Diversicare between $17 and $30 per share.

*In July 2017, DVCR acquired a facility with 103 beds in Selma, AL for 8.75M or $85,000 per bed.
**Conservative range of $80-110K+ per bed, especially given some of the highest CMS Quality Measure ratings. (Legacy Centers average 4/5 Stars in CMS Quality Measures.)
*** 35% of DVCR Leased Beds are in Texas and Kentucky where average leased beds are typically valued in the $20-25K range. 2
Funds from Operations (FFO) Analysis:
Osmium believes Funds from Operations should range between $22-26 million in 2017 and $25-30 million in 2018 with continued efficiencies from Golden Living facilities and recent accretive acquisition of Selma, AL facility. We chose the midpoint of 8-9x EV/FFO to reach a valuation of approximately $18 per share in 2017 and $23 per share in 2018.

Point 2: Discounted Cash Flow Model
In a Discounted Cash Flow Model, Diversicare is worth $17-$21 per share. We are assuming 2% revenue growth, 4-5% EBITDA margins, $8-10M in capital expenditures and working capital changes, 10% discount rate, and a terminal multiple of 8-9x.
Point 3: Simple Debt Pay Down Would Yield Substantial Equity Returns
Simply paying down debt over 4-5 years, while holding an 8-9x EV/FFO multiple, would yield a +28.4% annualized 5 year return or $33 share from the current share price. This requires zero FFO growth.

Price per share $ 17.96 $ 21.68 $ 25.39 $ 29.11 $ 32.82
Point 4: Value to Strategic Buyer
We believe that Diversicare would be an attractive target for companies such as National HealthCare ( NHC ) and Ensign ( ENSG ) who are primarily focused in skilled nursing. NHC composition of skilled nursing beds is 90% while Ensign’s is 80%. For example, NHC could achieve considerable synergistic scale while reducing public company costs and fixed corporate overhead by at least $5-10 million annually. If NHC were to acquire Diversicare, NHC ’s revenue could increase by 50% and EBITDA by over 30% with minimal synergies. A purchase price of $18 per share for Diversicare would represent less than 22% of NHC ’s enterprise value. Similarly, by purchasing Diversicare at $18 per share, Ensign could increase their revenue by 30% and EBITDA by 15% and acquire Diversicare for less than 15% of their current enterprise value .
Point 5: Dividend Case Study
Over the last three years, approximately 600 companies with market capitalizations between $10 million and $5 billion have increased their dividend payouts.
1. Over the last three years, the 600 companies that increased their dividends, saw their stock price increase by 43% vs. 30% for the relevant IWM index.
2. Companies that increased their dividend by 40%or more saw their stock price increase on average by 53%.
________________________________________
3. Companies that increased their dividend by 100% or more, saw their stock price increase on average by 67% (this excluded a retail stock BBBY, including BBBY the returns were +57%).
Clearly increasing dividends has shown to be an extremely effective tool that resonates with shareholders. On average, companies that increased their dividends, significantly outperformed the Russell 2000 index.
Conclusion
To conclude, we believe our suggestion to increase the annual dividend to $1.00 per share A) provides for a clear path forward and is readily executable, B) will contribute in closing the wide gap between current market prices and fair value, C) will help increase underlying trading volumes so that the company can enjoy the benefits of being publicly traded and D) achieves a balanced and fair outcome for all parties involved, including the company, shareholders, customers, and employees.
The American Way – Al Angrisani
In summary, I am frequently criticized for my strict—almost religious—adherence to the belief that the Board, management team and employees all work for the shareholders and that the shareholders MUST make money on their risk capital before we share in the fruits of our labor or equity appreciation in the company.After all, the fundamental truth of capitalism is that risk capital must be rewarded, or capitalism will cease to be capitalism because the investor will stop investing.
Sincerely,
John H. Lewis
