RealPage(R) Acquires SeniorLiving.Net(TM)


CARROLLTON, Texas, July 29, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RealPage, Inc. (Nasdaq:RP) today announced the acquisition of SeniorLiving.Net ("SLN"), an Internet lead generation and placement network for the senior housing market. SLN helps families with aging parents find senior care providers that can address their care needs, desired location and budget. The service is no cost to the families. SLN provides each family with a skilled Care Advisor familiar with the local market to help them through the process.

SLN generates leads through over 200 websites and affiliates that provide information to families. Care Advisors work with the family to create a care profile that is then matched with the communities in their area that meet their care and budget needs. Today, nearly 2,700 senior living communities are qualified to receive leads from SLN.    

The Company paid $4.5 million in cash with the potential to earn additional consideration upon achieving future financial targets through June 2014. SeniorLiving.Net's trailing 12 months results show revenue of less than $1.0 million and an operating loss.  RealPage expects SeniorLiving.Net to contribute immaterially to the Company's full year revenue and profit performance for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011.  

"SeniorLiving.Net expands our senior housing offering, which currently features accounting, census management and facilities management marketed as OneSite Senior Living," said Dirk Wakeham, president of RealPage. "We also offer OneSite Care Manager that provides care assessment, planning, compliance and staffing capabilities that adjust monthly care revenue to offset expense creep that occurs as resident acuity changes over time. OneSite Care Manager is a successor product to the popular A.L. Wizard software that was acquired by RealPage in 2009. We expect to rapidly expand SeniorLiving.Net's lead generation and placement network service by leveraging lead generation, capture and management systems that RealPage has deployed in other markets.  We are excited about this acquisition and the significant opportunity ahead of us in the senior housing market."

According to the 2010 National Investment Center Investment guide, there are approximately 1.3 million senior and assisted living units in the U.S. and this number is expected to double over the next 25 years due to the aging baby boomer generation. RealPage believes that the total addressable market for lead generation and placement services in the independent and assisted living market is at least $800 million annually.   

SeniorLiving.Net was founded by Todd Walrath in 2008 and is rapidly growing its nationwide Care Advisor network. Walrath, formerly COO of Weather.com, Group Vice President of AOL local search, and CEO and founder of LEADS.com, brings a wealth of Internet lead generation experience to RealPage.   

"We are extremely excited to be joining RealPage," said Walrath. "SeniorLiving.Net has become an important source of qualified families to the top senior care providers in the industry. Each month we qualify or advise thousands of families looking for senior care options. Whether it's home care, retirement living, assisted living or dementia care, the choices can be overwhelming. Our service gives senior care providers a highly qualified family that is matched to their services, location and budget."
