Brookdale Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE:BKD) ("Brookdale" or the "Company") announced results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, which are consistent with the preliminary results announced on January 28, 2026.

HIGHLIGHTS

Increased full year 2025 consolidated revenue per available unit (RevPAR) by 5.7% over the prior year, which is above the midpoint of the Company's previously announced guidance range.

Improved fourth quarter 2025 consolidated weighted average occupancy by 310 basis points over the prior year quarter on strong move-in volume.

Full year 2025 net loss was $263 million, and full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $458 million is above the midpoint of the Company's previously announced full-year guidance range.

Beneficially refinanced all of the approximately $350 million remaining 2026 mortgage debt maturities and approximately $200 million of 2027 mortgage debt maturities, while further strengthening balance sheet.

"Brookdale's fourth quarter results continued the positive momentum displayed throughout 2025, as we position Brookdale to capitalize on increasing industry demand in a suppressed supply growth environment," said Nick Stengle, Brookdale's Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased with the results we delivered as we focus on operational excellence and delivering shareholder value. We are excited about the opportunities in 2026 for further progress, which is demonstrated by our recently provided annual guidance of mid-teens year over year growth in Adjusted EBITDA for our ongoing portfolio and 8% to 9% RevPAR growth."

January 2026 occupancy slightly decreased on a sequential basis from December 2025, reflecting the normal seasonal trend. Month-end occupancy was slightly impacted by the winter storms across much of the southern United States which resulted in delayed move-in activity.

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS: 4Q 2025 vs 4Q 2024

Resident fees:

The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of communities, primarily through lease terminations, since the beginning of the prior year period, which resulted in $63.1 million less in resident fees during the fourth quarter of 2025.

The decrease was partially offset by the 5.0% increase in same community resident fees, which was primarily due to the 250 basis point increase in same community weighted average occupancy and the increase in RevPOR, primarily the result of the current year annual rate increase.

Facility operating expense: The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of communities since the beginning of the prior year period, which resulted in $46.8 million less in facility operating expense during the fourth quarter of 2025, partially offset by increases in wage rates, use of premium labor, and estimated incentive compensation expense for the Company's same community portfolio.

General and administrative expense: The decrease was primarily due to $7.0 million of legal expenses related to certain putative class action litigation recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Cash facility operating lease payments: The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of communities through lease terminations.

Net income (loss): The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to the decrease in facility operating expense, a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense primarily due to the disposition of communities through lease terminations, a $15.5 million loss on debt extinguishment recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024 for the Company's convertible notes exchange and issuance transactions, and the $7.0 million of legal expenses recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by the decrease in resident fees.

Adjusted EBITDA: The increase was primarily due to the increase in same community resident fees, partially offset by the increase in same community facility operating expense.
