The earnings call shows strong financial performance with RevPAR and occupancy growth, improved operating income, and increased liquidity. Positive sentiment is reinforced by strategic initiatives targeting occupancy and pricing, and an optimistic outlook on moving communities out of low occupancy bands. Despite some concerns about discounting and unchanged cash flow guidance, the raised EBITDA guidance and operational improvements suggest a positive stock price movement over the next two weeks.
Same community weighted average occupancy 80.7%, growing 190 basis points over the prior year quarter. Reasons: Improved operations and financial results.

July month-end occupancy 83.3%, 260 basis points higher than July 2024. Reasons: Improved operations and financial results.
RevPOR on a same community basis Grew 2.4% year-over-year. Reasons: Focus on rate growth outpacing expense growth.

Adjusted free cash flow $20 million for the quarter versus a negative $6 million for Q2 2024. Reasons: Improved operational performance and occupancy growth.
Adjusted free cash flow for the first 6 months $24 million versus a negative $32 million for the same period last year. Reasons: Improved operational performance and occupancy growth.
Consolidated RevPAR Grew 5.1% above the prior year in Q2. Reasons: 200 basis points year-over-year weighted average occupancy growth and strategic incentives.
Consolidated weighted average occupancy 80.1% in Q2, 200 basis points year-over-year growth. Reasons: Operational improvements and strategic initiatives.
Same-community RevPAR Increased 4.8% over the prior year. Reasons: 190 basis points of occupancy growth and a 2.4% increase in RevPOR.
Same-community operating income 4.9% better than the prior year. Reasons: Positive RevPOR to ExPOR spread and operational improvements.
General and administrative expense Improved 40 basis points compared to Q2 2024. Reasons: Focused cost structure adjustments.
Cash operating lease payments $57 million in Q2. Reasons: Not explicitly mentioned.
Total liquidity $350 million as of June 30, a $44 million sequential increase. Reasons: Positive adjusted free cash flow and a new letter of credit facility.
Occupancy Growth: Same community weighted average occupancy for Q2 2025 was 80.7%, up 190 basis points year-over-year. June month-end occupancy was 82.8%, and July month-end occupancy reached 83.3%, marking a 260 basis point increase from July 2024.
Revenue Per Occupied Room (RevPOR): RevPOR on a same community basis grew 2.4% year-over-year, reflecting rate increases and lower resident acuity.
Adjusted EBITDA Growth: Adjusted EBITDA grew 19.7% quarter-over-quarter and 23.4% for the first half of 2025. Adjusted free cash flow was $20 million for Q2 2025, compared to a negative $6 million in Q2 2024.
Operational SWAT Teams: Two SWAT teams were deployed to improve underperforming communities. Team 1 achieved a 350 basis point occupancy increase and 7% RevPAR growth since Q4 2024. Team 2 focused on communities tied to debt refinancing, achieving 200 basis points occupancy growth and 150 basis points RevPAR growth since May 2025.
Cost Management: General and administrative expenses were reduced by $850,000 in Q2 2025 compared to Q1 2025, and by $1.2 million year-over-year.
Portfolio Optimization: Brookdale plans to exit 55 leased assets by year-end 2025 and has identified an additional 28 assets for disposition over the next 12-18 months. These actions aim to improve occupancy, RevPAR, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow.
Capital Reinvestment: Invested $49 million in Q2 2025 into over 500 capital projects, including aesthetic upgrades and larger renovations.
Leverage Reduction: Reduced adjusted annualized leverage from 9.7x to 9.3x in Q2 2025. Asset sales and debt repayments are part of the deleveraging strategy.
Occupancy Challenges: Despite improvements, maintaining occupancy above 80% is critical for cash flow generation. Some communities remain in the less than 70% occupancy band, requiring targeted interventions.
Portfolio Optimization Risks: The transition of 55 leased assets by year-end and the sale of additional assets may create short-term financial pressure, especially as underperforming assets transition later in the year.
Cost Management: Efforts to align expenses with portfolio size are ongoing, but further progress is needed to optimize the cost structure.
Debt and Leverage: High leverage remains a concern, with adjusted annualized leverage at 9.3x. While progress is being made, deleveraging will take time and depends on EBITDA growth and asset sales.
Operational Risks: The company is implementing SWAT teams to address underperforming communities, but the success of these initiatives is not guaranteed.
Seasonal and Natural Disaster Risks: Hurricane season and seasonal utility cost variability could impact financial performance in the second half of the year.
Regulatory and Transition Risks: The transition timeline for leased assets and regulatory compliance during these transitions could pose challenges.
Annual Guidance for RevPAR Growth: Brookdale has raised its 2025 RevPAR growth guidance to a range of 5.25% to 6% over the prior year, reflecting strong second-quarter results and expectations for continued occupancy and revenue growth.
Annual Guidance for Adjusted EBITDA: The company has increased its 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $445 million to $455 million, incorporating favorable top-line expectations and the impact of updated transition timelines for certain assets.
Occupancy Growth Expectations: Brookdale expects weighted average occupancy and RevPAR growth to be even stronger in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter, driven by operational improvements and strategic initiatives.
Impact of Asset Transitions on Financials: The transition of 55 Ventas nonrenewal communities is expected to have a negative adjusted EBITDA impact of approximately $2 million compared to previous guidance. The timing of these transitions may further impact consolidated results.
Seasonal and Operational Factors for Second Half of 2025: The second half of 2025 will be impacted by additional workdays, incremental holidays, higher utilities expenses in Q3, and the full-year impact of merit increases for community associates. These factors are expected to create a nearly $10 million adjusted EBITDA headwind between Q2 and Q3.
