Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. (NYSE: SRZ) announced its fourth quarter and full year 2010 results last week that showed continued progress in its restructuring efforts but remains cautious about its future performance. The company’s fourth quarter net income was $50 million versus $10.4 million during the same quarter of 2009. The increase in the company’s bottom line were the result of one time fees and gains on sale from the company’s HCP buyout and sale of its venture interests to Ventas. Sunrise reported total operating revenues of $1.4 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $1.5 billion for the full year 2009. During 2010, Sunrise reduced its consolidated debt to $163.0 million, as compared to $440.2 million at December 31, 2009, a reduction of $277.2 million.
"2010 was a year of strengthening Sunrise and we are now well positioned to take advantage of great opportunities in 2011 and the years to come," said Mark Ordan, Sunrise’s chief executive officer. "Bottom line 2010 performance is benefitted by outsized gains realized in our restructuring. Our operating results are adversely affected by the reduction of revenue from our restructuring without an equivalent reduction of expenses, and our G&A was adversely affected by non-recurring items. While we are excited by our progress, optimistic and committed to our future, we have in our 10-K and supplemental 8-K provided investors with meaningful additional detail to enable a fuller understanding of both our progress and of the risks we still need to tackle."
