Sunrise Reports Financial Results for Third-Quarter 2009

MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sunrise Senior Living, Inc.
(NYSE: SRZ) today reported financial results and operating data for the third
quarter of 2009. Sunrise will host a conference call and webcast Monday,
November 9, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. ET, to discuss the financial results.

"We are pleased with the restructuring progress we have made but not with our
financial performance," said Mark Ordan, Sunrise's chief executive officer.
"We are dedicated to matching our sector-leading brand and care with
profitable results."

Financial Results for Third-Quarter 2009

Sunrise reported revenues of $382.6 million for the third quarter of 2009, as
compared to $412.6 million for the third quarter of 2008. Net loss for the
third quarter of 2009 was ($44.4) million, or ($0.88) per fully diluted share,
as compared to net loss of ($68.7) million, or ($1.36) per fully diluted
share, for the third quarter of 2008. The loss before income taxes and
discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2009 was ($37.8) million as
compared to loss before income taxes and discontinued operations for the third
quarter of 2008 of ($70.9) million.

In the third quarter, net loss from operations for the three months ended
September 30, 2009, was ($33.9) million. Adding back non-recurring items
including the SEC investigation costs of $1.1 million and restructuring costs
of $9.0 million, and non-cash charges including depreciation and amortization
of $11.7 million, the provision for doubtful accounts of $0.3 million,
write-off of capitalized project costs of $0.7 million and impairment of
long-lived assets of $9.9 million, adjusted loss from ongoing operations was
($1.3) million. Adjusted (loss) income from ongoing operations is a measure
of operating performance that is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP
and should not be considered as a substitute for income or loss from
operations or net income or loss. Adjusted income from ongoing operations is
used by management to focus on income generated from the ongoing operations of
the Company and to help management assess if adjustments to current spending
decisions are needed. It is not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as a substitute
for income/loss from operations or net income/loss. For a reconciliation of
these items, please refer to the attached table "Adjusted (Loss) Income from
Ongoing Operations."

Cash and Liquidity Update

As previously announced, on October 19, 2009, Sunrise entered into the 13th
Amendment to its bank credit facility extending its maturity date to December
2, 2010. At September 30, 2009, the outstanding borrowings under the bank
credit facility were $68.9 million. On October 19, 2009, after paying $6.0
million of principal in connection with the 13th Amendment, the outstanding
borrowings under the bank credit facility were $62.9 million and outstanding
letters of credit were $23.9 million.

Sunrise had $43.4 million and $29.5 million of unrestricted cash at September
30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Sunrise has no borrowing
availability under the bank credit facility, and has significant scheduled
debt maturities in 2009 and 2010 and significant long-term debt that is in
default. As of September 30, 2009, Sunrise and its consolidated subsidiaries
had debt of $624.6 million, of which $151.5 million of debt is scheduled to
mature in 2009. Long-term debt that is in default totals $411.9 million,
including $200.0 million of debt ($219.3 million face) that is in default as a
result of the failure to pay principal and interest to the lenders of
Sunrise's German communities, as further described below.

Sunrise is endeavoring to extend debt maturity dates, re-finance debt and
obtain waivers from applicable lenders. The Company is engaged in discussions
with various venture partners and third parties regarding the sale of certain
assets with the purpose of increasing liquidity and reducing obligations.

Sale of 21 Communities

On October 7, 2009, as previously announced, Sunrise entered into an agreement
to sell 21 wholly owned assisted living communities, located in 11 states, to
Brookdale Senior Living, Inc. for $204 million. Brookdale placed into escrow
an earnest money deposit of $5 million toward the purchase price. The closing
date is currently scheduled for November 16, 2009. At the closing of the sale,
Sunrise expects to receive approximately $60 million in proceeds after payment
or assumption by Brookdale of certain mortgage loans, the posting of required
escrows, and payment of expenses by Sunrise. Sunrise will use $25 million of
the proceeds to pay down its bank credit facility and will place $20 million
into a collateral account for the benefit of other creditors.

Sunrise recorded an impairment charge of $6.8 million in the third quarter of
2009 to write down five of the 21 communities to fair value. The Company
expects to record a gain on the sale of real estate of approximately $50
million upon closing of the transaction.

Germany

On October 22, 2009, as previously announced, Sunrise entered into a
restructuring agreement, in the form of a binding term sheet, with the two
lenders to seven of the nine German communities, to settle and compromise
their claims against the Company, including under operating deficit and
principal repayment guarantees provided by Sunrise in support of its German
subsidiaries. The two lenders contended that these claims had an aggregate
value of approximately $121.6 million. The binding term sheet contemplates
that, on or before the first anniversary of the execution of definitive
documentation for the restructuring, certain other of its identified lenders
may elect to participate in the restructuring with respect to their asserted
claims. The claims being settled by the two lenders represent approximately
77.5 percent of the aggregate amount of claims asserted by the lenders that
may elect to participate in the restructuring transaction.

Sunrise has guaranteed among other things that, within 30 months of the first
execution of the definitive documentation for the restructuring, the electing
lenders will receive a minimum of $58.3 million from the net proceeds of the
sale of certain unencumbered North American properties, which equals 80
percent of the most recent aggregate appraised value of these properties, as
well their pro rata share of up to an aggregate of 5 million shares of common
stock for the lenders who participate on or before the first execution of
definitive documentation. If the electing lenders do not receive at least
$58.3 million by such date, Sunrise will make payment to cover any shortfall
or, at such lenders' option, convey to them the remaining unsold properties.
As any gain or loss on the transaction is dependent upon the values at closing
of the aforementioned consideration, Sunrise is unable to estimate any gain or
loss at this time.

In addition, Sunrise will market for sale the German assisted living
communities subject to loan agreements with the electing lenders and will
remain responsible for all costs of operating, preserving and maintaining
these communities until the earlier of either their sale or December 31, 2010.

In the second quarter of 2009, Sunrise engaged a broker to assist in the sale
of the nine German communities and at that time, classified the German assets
as held for sale. As the book value of the majority of the assets was in
excess of their fair value less estimated costs to sell, the Company recorded
a charge of $52.4 million in the second quarter of 2009, which is included in
discontinued operations.

Fountains

On October 26, 2009, as previously announced, Sunrise entered into agreements
with its venture partner as well as with the venture lender to release the
Company from all claims that the venture partner and the lender had against
Sunrise prior to the date of the agreements and from all of its future funding
obligations in connection with the Fountains portfolio. In exchange,
Sunrise, among other things, transferred its 20-percent ownership interest to
its venture partner, contributed vacant land parcels adjacent to six of the
Fountains communities to the venture, and will transition from management.
Sunrise will retain certain management and operating obligations during a
temporary transition period. There will be no gain or loss as a result of this
transaction.

EdenCare Portfolio Transition

As the Company previously disclosed, Sunrise could be terminated in 2009 from
management of a portfolio of communities owned by HCP, Inc. for failure to
meet performance thresholds. On June 18, 2009, HCP announced it had exercised
this termination right. Sunrise, which earned fees totaling $3.0 million in
2008, transitioned these communities to a new manager on October 1, 2009.

Operating Data for Third-Quarter 2009

The nine German communities have been excluded from Sunrise's 2009 third
quarter operating results set forth below because they are considered
discontinued operations.

-- Comparable community revenues for the third quarter of 2009 decreased
by
2.2 percent, from $565.3 million for the third quarter of 2008 to
$553.1
million for the third quarter of 2009. Excluding the impact of
foreign
exchange rates in 2009, comparable community revenues for the third
quarter of 2009 decreased 1.4 percent to $557.5 million year over
year.
Sunrise's comparable community portfolio consists of communities that
were open and operating as of January 1, 2007, and include
consolidated,
unconsolidated venture, and managed communities in the United States,
Canada and the United Kingdom.

-- Average unit occupancy in comparable communities for the third quarter
of 2009 was 86.7 percent, which was down 380 basis points from 90.5
percent for the third quarter of 2008, and down 20 basis points as
compared to 86.9 percent in the second quarter of 2009.

-- Average daily revenue per occupied unit in comparable communities
increased 2.3 percent from $182.25 for the third quarter of 2008 to
$186.37 for the third quarter of 2009. Excluding the impact of foreign
exchange rates in 2009, average daily revenue per occupied unit for
the
comparable community portfolio increased 3.1 percent to $187.83 for
the
third quarter of 2009 as compared to the third quarter of 2008.

-- Comparable community operating expenses for the third quarter of 2009
increased 0.7 percent over the third quarter of 2008 from $408.7
million
to $411.7 million. Excluding approximately $19 million in certain
health
and insurance credits experienced in the third quarter of 2008, as
well
as the impact of the foreign exchange rates in 2009, these operating
expenses decreased 3.0 percent.

-- As the Company has announced, Sunrise either has exited or will exit
three portfolios in the coming months: EdenCare, The Fountains and 21
wholly owned communities. Excluding these three portfolios' operating
performance, third-quarter 2009 comparable community revenues were
$478.3 million, average unit occupancy was 87.1 percent, average daily
revenue per occupied unit was $196.18, and community operating
expenses
were $349.7 million. A table providing additional detail on the
Company's operating results excluding these three portfolios has been
attached.

-- In the third quarter of 2009, Sunrise opened four new communities,
with
a combined capacity of 342 units. As of September 30, 2009, Sunrise
had
five communities under construction, with capacity for an additional
403
units.

-- As of September 30, 2009, Sunrise operated 418 communities located in
the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany, with a unit
capacity of approximately 43,000 units.

-- As of November 9, 2009, Sunrise operated 403 communities located in
the
United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany, with a unit
capacity of approximately 41,500 units.

Sunrise's management believes that total comparable-community revenues,
average daily revenue per occupied unit, average unit occupancy rates and
total comparable-community expenses are useful indicators of trends in
Sunrise's management business. For additional details on Sunrise's
comparable-community operations data, please refer to the Supplemental
Information attached.

a comprehensive restructuring of the Company's obligations in respect of its
Fountains portfolio and certain other of its ventures; the Company's ability

could be terminated due to failure to achieve the performance measures;
business conditions and market factors that could affect occupancy rates at
and revenues from the Company's communities and the value of the Company's
properties generally; competition and our response to pricing and promotional
activities of our competitors; changes in interest rates; unanticipated

income from ongoing operations is used by management to focus on cash
generated from our ongoing operations and to help management assess if
adjustments to current spending decisions are needed.

Notes
-----
(1) During the third quarter of 2009, Sunrise opened four venture
communities. There was also one consolidated community sold or
disposed.
(2) Comparable community portfolio consists of all communities in which
Sunrise has an ownership interest in or management agreement
with, and were under Sunrise ownership or management for at least 24
months as of the January 1, 2009. This includes consolidated
communities, communities in ventures and communities managed for
third-party owners.
(3) Community operating expenses exclude management fees paid to Sunrise
with respect to comparable-community ventures in order to make
comparisons between consolidated and venture communities consistent.
