The $1.8B senior-housing deal still looks expensive on earnings

$1.8B acquisitionpartly known
Preliminary purchase price ~$1.76B; pro forma 2025 loss $168.4M
SONIDA SENIOR LIVING, INC. (SNDA) — what happened, in plain English, and what it means versus what the market expected.

The transaction itself is no longer the surprise. The CHP acquisition closed on March 11, 2026, with SNDA acquiring 100% of CHP; the filing now supplies the detailed pro forma financial picture rather than announcing a new deal. 〔0〕 (The Transactions — CHP Acquisition)

Scale rises sharply, but the combined company remains deeply loss-making. Pro forma 2025 revenue reaches $774.3 million, yet the company produces a $151.1 million net loss and a $168.4 million loss attributable to common shareholders. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue is $410.3 million against an $82.8 million net loss. (Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations)

Financing is the main drag, although the headline pro forma interest burden is conservative. The statements assume the $270 million bridge facility remained outstanding for the entire periods, even though SNDA replaced it by August 7 with additional term loans, revolver borrowings and a $170 million Ally term loan. 〔1〕 (Debt and Equity Financing for the Transactions) That makes the reported $99.4 million of 2025 interest expense a poor proxy for the current run rate, but the capital structure still carries substantial leverage and floating-rate exposure.

The filing does not establish near-term earnings accretion. Eliminating CHP advisory fees reduces general and administrative expense by $16.2 million in 2025, but that benefit is outweighed by $61.8 million of incremental depreciation and amortization, $7.6 million of transaction-related PSU expense, and the financing burden. The pro forma also excludes potential synergies and future integration costs, so the numbers are neither a clean forecast nor evidence that the deal has yet converted scale into bottom-line improvement. (Pro Forma Transactions Adjustments)

Net read: a meaningful strategic combination, but financially mixed versus what was already expected. The market already knew the acquisition, equity raise and debt package; the new information is the magnitude of the combined loss profile and the caveat that current financing is somewhat better than the pro forma assumption. The purchase-price allocation is also unfinished, leaving depreciation, amortization and goodwill subject to revision. 〔2〕 (Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation)
