Trump/Cook, Nissan weakness, more tariffs and gold - what’s moving markets
Sila Realty Trust , Inc. (NYSE:SILA), a Maryland-based real estate investment trust with a market capitalization of $1.4 billion and strong financial health according to InvestingPro, disclosed today that its tenant, Landmark Holdings of Florida, LLC, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This development follows Landmark’s inability to secure a loan modification to defer a principal payment due on a $30 million loan.
Landmark operates six long-term acute care hospitals across Florida, Georgia, and Missouri, including the Savannah Healthcare Facility, which is the sole property owned by Sila Realty Trust in which Landmark is the tenant. The loan in question was initiated in December 2020 with Amerant Bank, N.A. to support ongoing operations and payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. Landmark’s failure to renegotiate terms for the principal payment due on December 9, 2024, has led to concerns about its ability to continue operations without financial impairment.
Despite the bankruptcy filing, Landmark has fulfilled its lease obligations to Sila Realty Trust through March 2025. The lease with Sila Realty Trust has not been implicated in any of Landmark’s bankruptcy motions. The Savannah Healthcare Facility represents approximately 0.7% of Sila Realty Trust’s total portfolio annualized December 2024 contractual base rent. The company maintains a healthy gross profit margin of 87.6% and offers investors an attractive dividend yield of 6.28%. As of December 31, 2024, the facility’s EBITDARM coverage ratio was reported to be between 1.00x to 1.99x based on the annualized December 2024 contractual base rent.
Sila Realty Trust is actively monitoring the situation with the assistance of external legal counsel and will provide updates on any significant market developments related to Landmark’s reorganization process.
