THIRD QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

Revenues – Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 totaled $276.0 million, an increase of $34.0 million over the same period in 2023. The increase primarily resulted from (i) revenue from new investments completed throughout 2023 and 2024 and (ii) the timing and impact of operator restructurings and transitions. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from asset sales completed throughout 2023 and 2024.

Expenses – Expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 totaled $163.3 million, a decrease of $31.2 million over the same period in 2023. The decrease primarily resulted from a (i) decrease in impairment on real estate properties, (ii) recovery in provision for credit losses, (iii) decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, and (iv) decrease in interest expense, partially offset by an increase in acquisition, merger and transition related costs.

Other Income and Expense – Other (expense) income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 totaled ($1.4) million, a decrease of $50.9 million over the same period in 2023. The decrease primarily resulted from (i) a decrease in gain on assets sold and (ii) an increase in other expense – net.

Net Income – Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 totaled $114.9 million, an increase of $21.0 million over the same period in 2023. The net increase primarily resulted from the aforementioned (i) $34.0 million increase in total revenue and (ii) $31.2 million decrease in total expenses, and an $8.2 million increase in income from unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by the aforementioned $50.9 million decrease in other income and expense and a $1.6 million increase in income tax expense.

2024 THIRD QUARTER PORTFOLIO AND RECENT ACTIVITY

​

Operator Updates:

LaVie – As previously disclosed, LaVie Care Centers, LLC (“LaVie”) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June 2024. The Company committed $10 million of debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing to LaVie in order to support sufficient liquidity to effectively operate its facilities during bankruptcy, with $4.5 million being drawn in June. No additional draws were made by LaVie on the loan during the third quarter. LaVie paid full monthly contractual rent of $3.0 million from June through October 2024.

Maplewood – In July 2024, Omega reached an agreement with the estate of the deceased principal and CEO of Maplewood Senior Living (“Maplewood”) to transition control of Maplewood, including assumption of Omega’s lease and loan agreements, to key members of the existing Maplewood management team. The agreement was approved by the probate court in August 2024 and is subject to further regulatory approvals. In the third quarter of 2024, Maplewood paid $12.1 million in rent (compared to $11.8 million in the second quarter). In October 2024, Maplewood paid $4.05 million in rent.

Guardian – In April 2024, the Company transitioned its remaining six Guardian facilities to a new operator. Since the transition, Omega has recognized quarterly contractual rent of $2.8 million in the second quarter and $2.9 million in the third quarter. In October 2024, Omega received $1.0 million in contractual rent from the new operator.

New Investments:

The following table presents investment activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024:

$25 Million in Real Estate Acquisitions – In three separate third quarter transactions, the Company acquired three facilities for aggregate consideration of $24.6 million and leased them to two existing operators and one new operator. The investments have a combined initial annual cash yield of 10.0% with annual escalators of 2.5%.

$365 Million Real Estate Acquisition – On July 24, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 51% equity interest in the unconsolidated Cindat joint venture (“Cindat JV”) for total cash consideration of $100.9 million and the assumption of a $243.2 million mortgage loan with an estimated fair value of $264.0 million. The mortgage loan bears interest at SONIA plus an applicable margin of 5.38% with a 10.38% interest rate ceiling and can be repaid without a prepayment penalty beginning November 2025. The Company’s 49% ownership interest in the unconsolidated Cindat JV was $97.0 million on the date of the acquisition. With the purchase of the remaining 51% equity and assumption of the mortgage loan, the Company’s total investment in the 63 U.K. facilities is approximately $461.9 million. The 63 facilities acquired are leased to two operators with annual contractual rent of $43.6 million with minimum escalators between 1.0% to 2.0%. The consolidated financial statements for the third quarter reflect the consolidation of the Cindat JV as of the acquisition date with its results from operations included for the partial period from the acquisition date through the end of the quarter.

OPERATOR COVERAGE DATA

The following tables present operator revenue mix, census and coverage data based on information provided by the Company’s operators for the indicated periods. The Company has not independently verified this information, and is providing this data for informational purposes only.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan and ATM Program – The following is a summary of the 2024 quarterly Common Stock Purchase Plan and ATM Program through September 30:

​

BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $4.9 billion in outstanding indebtedness with a weighted-average annual interest rate of 4.6%. The Company’s indebtedness consisted of an aggregate principal amount of $4.2 billion of senior unsecured notes, $478.5 million of unsecured term loans and $250.2 million of secured debt. As of September 30, 2024, total cash and cash equivalents were $342.4 million, and the Company had $1.45 billion of undrawn capacity under its unsecured revolving credit facility.

DIVIDENDS

On October 25, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.67 per share, to be paid November 15, 2024, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 4, 2024.

2024 AFFO GUIDANCE INCREASED

The Company increased its expected 2024 Adjusted FFO range to be between $2.84 to $2.86 per diluted share from the previous range of $2.78 to $2.84 per diluted share.

The Company’s revised Adjusted FFO guidance for 2024 includes the annual impact of $834 million in new investments completed through October 2024, $31 million in asset sales related to a portion of the $76 million in facilities classified as held for sale, fourth quarter G&A expense of approximately $11.5 million to $13.5 million, no material changes in market interest rates, and no additional operators are placed on a cash-basis for revenue recognition.  The revised guidance assumes the $119 million in new investments completed in October are funded with equity issuances. The guidance excludes any additional acquisitions and asset sales, certain revenue and expense items, interest refinancing expenses, acquisition costs, capital market activity and additional provisions for credit losses, if any.

The Company's guidance is based on several assumptions including those noted above, which are subject to change and many of which are outside the Company’s control. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the timing of collection of rental obligations from operators on a cash basis, the timing and completion of acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings and capital and financing transactions may cause actual results to vary materially from our current expectations. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its projected results. The Company may, from time to time, update its publicly announced Adjusted FFO guidance, but it is not obligated to do so.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for its Adjusted FFO guidance to GAAP net income because it is unable to determine meaningful or accurate estimates of reconciling items without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amounts of various items that would impact future net income. This includes, but is not limited to, changes in the provision for credit losses, real estate impairments, acquisition, merger and transition related costs, straight-line write-offs, gain/loss on assets sold, etc. In particular, the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount of change in the provision for credit losses in future periods, which is often a significant reconciling adjustment.

Nareit FFO, Adjusted FFO and FAD Reconciliation

​

​

Nareit Funds From Operations (“Nareit FFO”), Adjusted FFO and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) are non-GAAP financial measures. As used in this press release, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The Company calculates and reports Nareit FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), and consequently, Nareit FFO is defined as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization and impairments on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and changes in the fair value of warrants. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. Revenue recognized based on the application of security deposits and letters of credit or based on the ability to offset against other financial instruments is included within Nareit FFO. The Company believes that Nareit FFO, Adjusted FFO and FAD are important supplemental measures of its operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. The term funds from operations was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue. Funds from operations described herein is not necessarily comparable to funds from operations of other real estate investment trusts, or REITs, that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from the Company.

Adjusted FFO is calculated as Nareit FFO excluding the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation and certain revenue and expense items (e.g., acquisition, merger and transition related costs, write-off of straight-line accounts receivable, recoveries and provisions for credit losses (excluding certain cash recoveries on impaired loans), cash interest received but not included in revenue, non-recognized cash interest, severance, legal reserve expenses, etc.). FAD is calculated as Adjusted FFO less non-cash expense, such as the amortization of deferred financing costs, and non-cash revenue, such as straight-line rent. FAD includes the non-cash amortization of premiums associated with the fair value of debt assumed in acquisitions. The Company believes these measures provide an enhanced measure of the operating performance of the Company’s core portfolio as a REIT. The Company’s computation of Adjusted FFO and FAD may not be comparable to the Nareit definition of funds from operations or to similar measures reported by other REITs, but the Company believes that they are appropriate measures for this Company.

The Company uses these non-GAAP measures among the criteria to measure the operating performance of its business. The Company also uses FAD among the performance metrics for performance-based compensation of officers. The Company further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairments on real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs, and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, funds from operations can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods. The Company offers these measures to assist the users of its financial statements in analyzing its operating performance. These non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as measures of liquidity or cash flow, alternatives to net income or indicators of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in the Company’s securities should not rely on these non-GAAP measures as substitutes for any GAAP measure, including net income.
