NEWTON, Mass., Apr. 02 /BusinessWire/ --
Diversified Healthcare Trust (NASDAQ:DHC) today provided an update regarding the recent performance of its Senior Housing Operating Portfolio, or SHOP, segment.
Monthly Unaudited Results in DHC's Total SHOP Properties:
February 2024 occupancy was 78.9%, a decrease of 10 basis points from January 2024, and 190 basis points higher than February 2023.
February 2024 Resident Fees and Services revenue was $102.3 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 0.4%, from January 2024, and higher by $9.2 million, or 9.9%, compared to February 2023.
February 2024 net operating income, or NOI, was $10.1 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 38.7%, from January 2024, and higher by $1.2 million, or 12.9%, compared to February 2023.
February 2024 NOI margin was 9.9%, 280 basis points above January 2024, and 30 basis points above February 2023.
February 2024 total SHOP revenues decreased slightly from the prior month due to a decrease in skilled nursing revenue as a result of two fewer days in February. Year over year, total SHOP revenues increased 9.9% primarily due to increases in rental and care rates, partially offset by higher discounts and lower community fees.
February 2024 total SHOP operating expenses decreased 3.4% from the prior month, which was driven by a decrease in labor expenses as a result of two fewer days in February. Year over year, total SHOP operating expenses increased primarily due to the inflationary effects related to higher wages and utilities as well as higher property insurance premiums in select markets.

The information regarding DHC's SHOP segment results for January and February 2024 reflects preliminary estimates with respect to certain results of DHC for such periods, based on currently available information. Because the quarterly financial close process and review for these periods is not yet complete, DHC's final results upon completion of its quarterly close process and review may vary from these preliminary estimates.
(2)
Previously, average monthly rate was calculated as average daily rate (revenue divided by occupied days) multiplied by 30 days. Retroactively to January 2023, we are now calculating the average monthly rate as the average daily rate multiplied by the exact number of days in the month. This change in methodology is now largely consistent with changes in revenue and occupancy as they are based on the same time period.
(3)
The calculation of NOI shown excludes certain components of net income (loss) in order to provide results that are more closely related to DHC's property level results of operations. DHC defines NOI as income from its real estate less its property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that DHC records as depreciation and amortization. DHC uses NOI to evaluate individual and company-wide property level performance. Other real estate companies and real estate investment trusts, or REITs, may calculate NOI differently than DHC does.
