Reconciliations and further information regarding these non-GAAP measures are provided at the end of this press release.

CEO COMMENTS

Taylor Pickett, Omega’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The second quarter saw sequential improvement in both Adjusted FFO and FAD, as some restructured operators returned to paying their contractual rent obligations. However, our financial results continue to be impacted by nonpayment of rent by a few operators and, with both facility occupancy and profitability still meaningfully below pre-pandemic levels, the risk of further operator issues remains.”

Mr. Pickett continued, “Still, we remain constructive on the longer-term opportunities within this industry. The portfolio is seeing steady growth in occupancy, with the labor market also showing signs of improving. Further, we continue to see strong appetite for our assets, as evidenced by the robust transaction market, and we believe the long-term financial impact to the business from the resolution of these operator issues should be relatively modest.”

Mr. Pickett concluded, “We would once again like to highlight the incredible efforts of our operators and their heroic employees, who continue to work tirelessly and bravely to protect and care for their residents.”

SECOND QUARTER 2022 RESULTS

Revenues – Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 totaled $244.6 million, a decrease of $12.8 million over the same period in 2021. The decrease primarily resulted from (i) asset sales completed in 2021 and 2022, (ii) operator restructurings and (iii) no rental income or interest income recognized in the second quarter of 2022 from Agemo Holdings, LLC (“Agemo”); see “Operator Updates” below. The decrease was partially offset by revenue from new investments completed throughout 2021 and 2022.

Expenses – Expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 totaled $174.2 million, a decrease of $0.9 million over the same period in 2021. The decrease primarily resulted from (i) a $5.1 million change in the (recovery) provision for credit losses and (ii) a $2.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related to facility sales and facilities reclassified as held for sale, partially offset by (i) a $4.0 million increase in acquisition, merger and transition costs resulting from the transition of facilities from troubled operators, (ii) a $2.5 million increase in general and administrative (“G&A”) expense related to consulting services and expense timing and (iii) a $1.0 million increase in stock-based compensation expense.

Other Income and Expense – Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 totaled $20.8 million, an increase of $16.5 million over the same period in 2021. The increase primarily resulted from a $21.1 million increase in gain on assets sold related to the sale of 13 facilities in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the sale of six facilities during the same period in 2021, partially offset by a $3.0 million legal reserve recorded within other (loss) income – net in the second quarter of 2022. Seven of the facilities sold in the second quarter of 2022 were formerly leased to Guardian and sold in connection with the restructuring activities completed during the quarter (see “Operator Updates” below).

Net Income – Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 totaled $91.9 million, an increase of $5.1 million over the same period in 2021. The increase primarily resulted from (i) a $16.5 million increase in other income and expense and (ii) a $0.9 million decrease in expenses, partially offset by a $12.8 million decrease in total revenues.

Funds from Operations – Nareit FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 totaled $160.6 million, a decrease of $20.2 million over the same period in 2021. The decrease primarily resulted from (i) a $12.8 million decrease in total revenue, (ii) a $4.0 million increase in acquisition, merger and transition costs, (iii) an aggregate $4.9 million increase in other (loss) income – net, (iv) a $2.5 million increase in G&A expense and (v) a $1.0 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $5.1 million change in (recovery) provision for credit losses.

Adjusted Funds from Operations – AFFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 totaled $185.4 million, a decrease of $21.4 million over the same period in 2021. The decrease primarily reflects the impact of reduced revenue as a result of assets sales, operator workouts and restructurings, and the timing of G&A expenses, partially offset by incremental revenue from new investments. AFFO refers to Nareit FFO after excluding the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation and certain revenue and expense items as set forth in the “Funds From Operations” reconciliation table.

2022 SECOND QUARTER PORTFOLIO AND RECENT ACTIVITY

Operator Updates:

Agemo The Company continued its ongoing restructuring discussions with Agemo. During the quarter, Agemo continued to not pay contractual rent and interest due under its lease and loan agreements, and as a result the Company did not recognize revenue related to this operator.

Guardian – In the second quarter of 2022, the Company sold seven facilities previously leased to Guardian and agreed to a formal restructuring agreement, master lease amendments and mortgage loan amendments on the remaining facilities leased to Guardian. As part of the restructuring agreement and amendments, Omega and Guardian agreed, among other terms, to (i) allow Guardian to retrospectively defer $18.0 million of aggregate contractual rent and interest that they failed to pay during 2021 and 2022, with repayment required after September 2024 and in full by the lease termination date and (ii) reduce the combined rent and mortgage interest to an aggregate $24.0 million per year beginning July 2022. Guardian resumed making contractual rent and interest payments during the second quarter of 2022 in accordance with the agreed-upon restructuring terms. In the second quarter, the Company recorded $5.2 million in income related to Guardian (on a cash basis for revenue recognition) consisting of $3.8 million of contractual rent payments received (recorded as rental income) and $1.4 million in interest payments received (recorded as a recovery against provision for credit losses).

Other Non-paying Operators – In January 2022, an operator representing 3.4% of the Company’s first quarter 2022 annualized contractual rent and mortgage interest revenue did not pay its first quarter contractual amounts due under its lease agreement; however, this operator continued to pay contractual interest amounts due under its $20 million revolving credit facility (fully drawn as of June 30, 2022). In March 2022, the lease with this operator was amended to allow for a short-term rent deferral for January through March 2022. This operator resumed paying the contractual amounts due under its lease agreement in April 2022. For the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized $8.8 million of contractual rent and interest related to the operator. Omega holds $1.2 million in combined security deposits related to this operator.

In March 2022, another operator representing 2.4% of the Company’s first quarter 2022 annualized contractual rent and mortgage interest revenue did not pay its March contractual amounts due under its lease agreement. In April 2022, the lease with this operator was amended to allow the operator to apply its $2.0 million security deposit to its March 2022 contractual rental payment and to allow for a short-term rent deferral for April, with regular rental payments required to resume in May. This operator paid contractual rent in May 2022; however, this operator failed to make the full contractual rent payment for June 2022. The Company placed this operator on a cash basis of revenue recognition during the second quarter and wrote off $8.3 million of straight-line rent receivables through rental income. As the operator is on a cash basis, the Company only recognized the cash received in the second quarter of $2.5 million for revenue, AFFO and FAD purposes.

In June, another operator representing 2.2% of the Company’s second quarter 2022 annualized contractual rent and mortgage interest revenue underpaid the contractual rent amount due under its lease agreement by $0.6 million. At June 30, 2022, the Company held a $5.4 million letter of credit as collateral from this operator. In July 2022, the Company drew the full amount of the letter of credit and applied $0.6 million of the proceeds to pay the unpaid portion of June’s rent. For the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized $5.5 million of contractual rent related to the operator. The Company is currently in portfolio restructuring discussions with the operator.

Statements regarding future events and developments and Omega’s future performance, as well as management’s expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates or projections relating to the future, are forward looking statements.

We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all the material factors that are important to you. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on those statements. All forward-looking statements are based upon information available to us on the date of this release.

Adjusted funds from operations per share and funds available for distribution per share can be calculated using weighted-average common shares outstanding, diluted shown above.

Nareit Funds From Operations (“Nareit FFO”), Adjusted FFO and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) are non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that exclude amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the income statement, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the company, or include amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable financial measure so calculated and presented. As used in this press release, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, 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), severance, legal reserve expenses, etc.). FAD is calculated as Adjusted FFO less non-cash interest expense and non-cash revenue, such as straight-line rent. 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 and between other REITs. The Company offers these measures to assist the users of its financial statements in analyzing its operating performance and not as measures of liquidity or cash flow. These non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as measures of liquidity, 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.
