Business Overview
Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. ("Parent") is a Maryland corporation that, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, "Omega" or "Company") has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Omega is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT ("UPREIT") under which all of Omega's assets are owned directly or indirectly by, and all of Omega's operations are conducted directly or indirectly through, its operating partnership subsidiary, OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership (collectively with its subsidiaries, "Omega OP"). As of September 30, 2025, Parent owned approximately 97% of the issued and outstanding units of partnership interest in Omega OP ("Omega OP Units"), and other investors owned approximately 3% of the outstanding Omega OP Units.
Omega has one reportable segment consisting of investments in healthcare-related real estate properties located in the United States ("U.S.") and the United Kingdom ("U.K."). Our core business is to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on SNFs, ALFs (including care homes in the U.K.), and to a lesser extent, independent living facilities ("ILFs"), rehabilitation and acute care facilities ("specialty facilities") and medical office buildings. Our core portfolio consists of our long-term leases and real estate loans with healthcare operating companies and affiliates (collectively, our "operators"). Real estate loans consist of mortgage loans and other real estate loans that are primarily collateralized by a first, second or third mortgage lien or a leasehold mortgage on, or an assignment of the partnership interest in, the related properties. In addition to our core investments, we make loans to operators and/or their principals. These loans, which may be either unsecured or secured by the collateral of the borrower, are classified as non-real estate loans. From time to time, we also acquire equity interests in joint ventures or entities that support the long-term healthcare industry and our operators, which may include ancillary service or technology companies, and in operating companies. As healthcare delivery continues to evolve, we continuously evaluate potential investments, our assets, operators and markets to position our portfolio for long-term success. As part of our evaluation, we may from time to time consider selling or transitioning assets that do not meet our portfolio criteria.
Outlook, Trends and Other Conditions
Our operators continue to face a number of industry challenges, including staffing shortages, which may impact certain regions more acutely, among other things, which have persisted since the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, our operators have been and continue to be adversely affected by inflation-related cost increases and may be adversely impacted by recently announced global tariffs, each of which may increase expenses, exacerbate labor shortages and increase labor costs, among other adverse impacts. Our operators also may be adversely impacted by immigration restrictions and changes to immigration enforcement policy to the extent they contribute to labor shortages. There continues to be uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of these impacts for those operators, particularly given uncertainty as to whether reimbursement increases from the federal government, the states and the U.K. will be effective in offsetting these incremental costs and lost revenues. In addition, there remains uncertainty as to the impact of potential and recent regulatory changes, including the recent Medicaid changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") and potential further reforms to Medicaid or Medicare and other state regulatory initiatives. While the OBBBA does not directly lower reimbursements related to long term care providers, it may impact our operators indirectly to the extent states in which they operate reduce reimbursement levels generally. This may occur as a result of reduced Medicaid funds allocated by states to long-term care providers due to lower reimbursement levels for hospitals and other healthcare providers. We continue to monitor these reimbursement impacts as well as the impacts of other regulatory changes, as discussed below, which could have a material adverse effect on an operator's results of operations and financial condition, which could adversely affect the operator's ability to meet its obligations to us. See "Government Regulation and Reimbursement" for additional information. While we continue to believe that longer term demographics will drive increasing demand for needs-based skilled nursing care, we remain cautious as some of the long-term impacts noted above may continue to have an impact on certain of our operators and their financial conditions.
Government Regulation and Reimbursement
The following information supplements and updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained under the caption Item 1. Business - Government Regulation and Reimbursement in our Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2024.
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated. Our U.S.-based operators, which comprise the majority of our operators, are subject to extensive and complex federal, state and local healthcare laws and regulations; our U.K.-based operators are also subject to a variety of laws and regulations in their jurisdictions. These laws and regulations are subject to frequent and substantial changes resulting from the adoption of new legislation, rules and regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations of existing law. The ultimate timing or effect of these changes, which may be applied retroactively, cannot be predicted. Changes in laws and regulations impacting our operators, in addition to regulatory non-compliance by our operators, can have a significant effect on the operations and financial condition of our operators, which in turn may adversely impact us. There is the potential that we may be subject directly to healthcare laws and regulations because of the broad nature of some of these regulations, such as the Anti-kickback Statute and False Claims Act in the U.S., among others.
The long-term care industry continues to manage a number of challenges, including staffing shortages, which may impact certain regions more acutely, and certain expense and inflationary cost increases, all of which have persisted since the pandemic. The ultimate impacts of these ongoing challenges may depend on future developments, including those impacts related to global tariffs, the sufficiency of reimbursement rate setting, recent changes to the Medicaid program on state reimbursement levels, potential future Medicaid and Medicare reforms and other state regulatory initiatives, as well as the continued efficacy of infection control measures and quality of care regulations, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict and may adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
A significant portion of our operators' revenue is derived from government-funded reimbursement programs, consisting primarily of Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S. and local authority funding in the U.K. As federal and state governments continue to focus on healthcare reform initiatives, efforts to reduce costs or other budgetary adjustments by government payors, including through potential Medicaid reforms and the push by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") towards Medicare Advantage programs, will likely continue. Significant limits on the scope of services reimbursed and/or reductions of reimbursement rates could therefore have a material adverse effect on our operators' results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, new and evolving payor and provider programs that are tied to quality and efficiency could adversely impact our tenants' and operators' liquidity, financial condition or results of operations, and there can be no assurance that payments under any of these government healthcare programs are currently, or will be in the future, sufficient to fully reimburse the property operators for their operating and capital expenses. The change in presidential administration and U.S. Congressional majorities at the federal level are increasing the political focus on entitlement program changes, thereby creating uncertainty with respect to the level of government reimbursement available and the extent of industry regulation. The July 2025 passage of the OBBBA enacted significant reforms regarding funding and operation of the Medicaid program, including an estimated $920 billion in cuts to Medicaid over the next decade, as well as additional reforms related to instituting a ten-year moratorium on federal nursing home minimum staffing requirements; enactment of new home and community-based services ("HCBS") waivers; and freezing, rather than reducing, nursing home provider taxes. The OBBBA's restrictions on provider taxes to other types of healthcare providers may adversely impact our operators indirectly to the extent states reduce reimbursement levels generally to offset general provider tax reductions.
In addition to quality and value-based reimbursement reforms, CMS has implemented a number of initiatives focused on the reporting of certain facility-specific quality of care indicators that could affect our operators, including publicly released quality ratings for all of the nursing homes that participate in Medicare or Medicaid under the CMS "Five Star Quality Rating System." Facility rankings, ranging from five stars ("much above average") to one star ("much below average") are updated on a monthly basis. These rating changes have impacted referrals to SNFs, and it is possible that changes to this system or other ranking systems could lead to future reimbursement policies that reward or penalize facilities on the basis of the reported quality of care parameters. These rating systems and other facility reporting requirements may impact occupancy at our properties and our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The following is a discussion of certain U.S. laws and regulations generally applicable to our operators, and in certain cases, to us.
Quality of Care and Staffing Initiatives. In July 2025, the CMS Nursing Home Care Compare website and the Five Star Quality Rating System were updated to include revisions to the inspection process, adjustment of staffing rating thresholds, the implementation of new quality measures and the inclusion of a staff turnover percentage (over a 12-month period). Beginning July 30, 2025, CMS published aggregated performance data, including average overall Five Star ratings, health inspection ratings, staffing, and quality measure ratings for "chains" or groups of Medicare-certified nursing homes that share at least one individual or organizational owner, officer, or entity with operational/managerial control. COVID-19 vaccination data was also removed from all nursing home profiles on the CMS Nursing Home Care Compare website as of July 2025.
Additionally, on April 22, 2024, CMS issued a final rule regarding minimum staffing requirements and increased inspections at SNFs, which would have required SNFs participating in Medicare and Medicaid to maintain certain nurse staffing and care standards. However, the rule was subject to successful legal challenges, and in September 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") withdrew its appeals in these cases. Further, the OBBBA included a ten-year delay on enforcement of these minimum staffing requirements, and in September 2025, the CMS submitted an interim rule with the White House Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") which seeks to rescind the staffing mandate, subject to OMB approval.
Private Equity; Ownership Disclosures. On November 15, 2023, CMS issued a final rule that requires SNFs participating in the Medicare or Medicaid programs to disclose certain ownership and managerial information regarding their relationships with certain entities that lease real estate to SNFs, including REITs, beginning May 1, 2025, which has been delayed by CMS until January 1, 2026. The CMS announcement of the final rule noted concerns regarding the quality of care provided at SNFs owned by private equity firms, REITs and other investment firms. Additionally, in 2024 and 2025, several U.S. senators proposed legislation that would, if enacted, restrict certain investors, including REITs and private equity firms, from investing in healthcare facilities or impose penalties on certain landlords of or private equity investors in healthcare facilities whose operators subsequently enter into bankruptcy proceedings. On January 8, 2025, the State of Massachusetts enacted a law that requires notification for certain transactions involving SNFs and REITs and restricts new licenses to hospitals with certain facilities leased from REITs. Legislation with similar restrictions has been proposed in several other states. In addition, in January 2025, HHS and the Senate Budget Committee issued reports that found private equity investment inhealthcare has had negative consequences for patients and providers. These initiatives, as well as additional calls for federal and state governmental review of the role of private equity in the U.S. healthcare industry and proposed legislation related to certain SNF financial arrangements with REITs, if enacted, could result in additional requirements or restrictions on our operators or us. The likelihood of any of these legislative measures passing at the federal level remains uncertain.
Reimbursement Generally
Medicaid. Most of our SNF operators derive a substantial portion of their revenue from state Medicaid programs. Whether and to what extent the level of Medicaid reimbursement covers the actual cost to care for a Medicaid eligible resident varies by state and depends on federal matching levels. While periodic rate setting occurs and, in most cases, has an inflationary component, the state rate setting process does not always keep pace with inflation or, even if it does, there is a risk that it may still not be sufficient to cover all or a substantial portion of the cost to care for Medicaid eligible residents. Additionally, rate setting is subject to changes based on state budgetary constraints and national and state level political factors, both of which could result in decreased or insufficient reimbursement to the industry even in an environment where costs are rising. Under the OBBBA that was enacted in July 2025, certain states may experience reductions in their federal matching dollars under the Medicaid program. To the extent these states reduce reimbursements to our operators to offset the impact of these reductions to other providers, this may negatively impact our operators and their financial condition. Given the federal political focus on entitlement programs such as Medicaid, there remains uncertainty as to any future reforms to entitlement programs and reimbursement levels that impact our operators. Since our operators' profit margins on Medicaid patients are generally relatively low, more than modest reductions in Medicaid reimbursement or increases in the percentage of Medicaid patients have in the past, and may in the future, adversely affect our operators' results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could adversely impact us.
On April 22, 2024, CMS issued the Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services final rule, which requires that, beginning six years after the effective date of the final rule, states generally ensure that at least 80% of Medicaid HCBS payments be put toward compensation for direct care workers. The final rule also requires more transparency regarding how much states pay for HCBS and how those rates are set. It is uncertain what the ultimate impact of the final rule, as well as similar initiatives at the state level, will be on providers of Medicaid HCBS services, given uncertainty related to how HCBS providers are currently spending Medicaid dollars, how many providers fall below the required 80% threshold and how well regulators can measure and track spending by HCBS providers. In addition, it remains unclear whether similar requirements, including those establishing minimum allocations of Medicaid or other reimbursements to direct care workers, will be proposed for SNFs, ALFs and other senior care providers; any such requirements, if enacted, could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of our operators. This uncertainty is further exacerbated by unknowns regarding how states will contend with federal funding losses due to the OBBBA's Medicaid reimbursement cuts and how they will ultimately decide to reallocate funding to the extent that they want to offset the impact to other providers or Medicaid recipients. Despite the OBBBA's creation of a new category of waivers that would cover people who do not meet the existing requirement of needing an institutional level of care to receive HCBS, such HCBS could be scaled back at the state level as states face funding shortfalls, which may push seniors and individuals with disabilities into institutional nursing home settings.
The risk of insufficient Medicaid reimbursement rates or delays in operators receiving such reimbursements, along with possible initiatives to push residents historically cared for in SNFs to alternative settings, labor shortages in certain areas and limited regulatory support for increased levels of reimbursement in certain states, may impact us more acutely in states where we have a larger presence. While state reimbursement rates have generally improved over the last several years, reimbursement support is not consistent across states, and it is difficult to assess whether the level of reimbursement support has or will continue to adequately keep pace with increased operator costs. We continue to monitor rate adjustment activity, particularly in states in which we have a meaningful presence.
Medicare. Medicare reimbursement rate setting takes effect annually each October for the following fiscal year. On July 31, 2025, CMS issued a final rule regarding the government fiscal year 2026 Medicare payment rates and quality payment programs for SNFs, with aggregate Medicare Part A payments projected to increase by $1.16 billion, or 3.2%, for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025. This estimated reimbursement increase is attributable to a 3.2% net market basket update to the payment rates, which is based on a 3.3% SNF market basket increase plus a 0.6% market basket forecast error adjustment and less a 0.7% productivity adjustment. The annual update is reduced by 2% for SNFs that fail to submit required quality data to CMS under the SNF Quality Reporting Program. CMS has indicated that these impact figures did not incorporate the SNF Value-Based Program reductions that are estimated to be $208.36 million in fiscal year 2026. While Medicare reimbursement rate setting has historically included forecasted inflationary adjustments, the degree to which those forecasts accurately reflect current expense levels remains uncertain. Additionally, it remains uncertain whether these adjustments will ultimately be offset by other factors, including any adjustments related to the impact of various payment models, such as those described below.
Payments to providers continue to be increasingly tied to quality and efficiency. The Patient Driven Payment Model ("PDPM"), which was designed by CMS to improve the incentives to treat the needs of the whole patient, became effective October 1, 2019. Our operators continue to adapt to the reimbursement changes and other payment reforms resulting from the value-based purchasing programs applicable to SNFs under the 2014 Protecting Access to Medicare Act. These reimbursement changes have had and may, together with any further reimbursement changes to the PDPM or value-based purchasing models, in the future have an adverse effect on the operations and financial condition of some of our operators and could adversely impact the ability of our operators to meet their obligations to us.
The Budget Control Act of 2011 established a Medicare Sequestration of 2%, which is an automatic reduction of certain federal spending as a budget enforcement tool. Originally, the sequester was intended to be in effect from FY 2013 to FY 2021. However, most recently, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act extended the sequester through FY 2031. The full 2% Medicare sequestration went into effect as of July 1, 2022 and gradually increases to 4% from 2030 through 2031. Further, the OBBBA, absent further legislative action, which remains uncertain given the current government shutdown, requires an automatic 4% reduction in Medicare reimbursement rates beginning in 2026 as a budget enforcement tool triggered by the OBBBA's impact on the federal deficit.
As a part of the COVID-19 1135 waiver provisions, in 2020 CMS added physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language pathology to the list of approved telehealth providers for the Medicare Part B programs provided by a SNF, which also allowed for the facility to bill an originating site fee to CMS for telehealth services provided to Medicare Part B beneficiary residents of the facility when the services were provided by a physician from an alternate location through expiration of the public health emergency. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 extended the ability of occupational therapists, physical therapists and speech-language pathologists to continue to furnish these services via telehealth and bill as distant site practitioners through September 30, 2025; it remains uncertain whether this will be further extended through congressional action, particularly given the current government shutdown.
Other Regulation:
Office of the Inspector General Activities. The Office of Inspector General ("OIG") of HHS has provided long-standing guidance for SNFs regarding compliance with federal fraud and abuse laws. More recently, the OIG has conducted increased oversight activities and issued additional guidance regarding its findings related to identified problems with the quality of care and the reporting and investigation of potential abuse or neglect at group homes, nursing homes and SNFs.
Department of Justice and Other Enforcement Actions. SNFs are under intense scrutiny for ensuring the quality of care being rendered to residents and appropriate billing practices conducted by the facility. The DOJ has historically used the False Claims Act to civilly pursue nursing homes that bill the federal government for services not rendered or care that is grossly substandard. For example, in November 2024, one of the Company's skilled nursing operators disclosed that it had received civil investigative demands from the federal government regarding its reimbursement and referral practices. In 2020, the DOJ launched a National Nursing Home Initiative to coordinate and enhance civil and criminal enforcement actions against nursing homes with grossly substandard deficiencies. Such enforcement activities are unpredictable and may develop over lengthy periods of time. An adverse resolution of any of these enforcement activities or investigations incurred by our operators may involve injunctive relief and/or substantial monetary penalties, either or both of which could have a material adverse effect on their reputation, business, results of operations and cash flows.
Third Quarter of 2025 and Recent Highlights
Investments
| ● | During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we acquired three facilities and 66 facilities for aggregate consideration of $77.5 million and $637.9 million, respectively. The initial cash yield (the initial annual contractual cash rent divided by the purchase price) on these asset acquisitions was between 9.9% and 10.3%. | 
| ● | We invested $23.0 million and $85.7 million under our construction in progress and capital improvement programs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. | 
| ● | We funded $8.0 million and $53.7 million under three and 17 new real estate loans originated during 2025 with weighted average interest rates of 10.0% and 10.3% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Additionally, we advanced $2.1 million and $11.8 million under existing real estate loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Principal repayments of $2.9 million and $67.7 million were received on real estate loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. | 
| ● | In October 2025, the Company formed a JV with affiliates of Saber Healthcare Holdings, LLC ("Saber") to own and lease 64 facilities, that were previously wholly owned by affiliates of Saber. The Company issued approximately 5.5 million Omega OP Units with a fair value of $222.4 million in exchange for a 49% equity interest in the JV. | 
Dispositions and Impairments
| ● | During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold 11 facilities (ten SNFs and one ALF) and 45 facilities (42 SNFs and three ALFs) for $81.1 million and $264.1 million in net cash proceeds, recognizing net gains of $28.2 million and $61.2 million, respectively. | 
| ● | During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded impairments of $1.2 million and $16.6 million on two facilities and six facilities, respectively.Of the $16.6 million, $10.3 million related to four held for use facilities and $6.3 million related to two facilities that were classified as held for sale. | 
Financing Activities
| ● | During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold 2.4 million and 16.3 million shares of common stock under our $1.25 billion At-The-Market Offering Program ("ATM Program") and Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan ("DRCSPP"), generating aggregate gross proceeds of $89.1 million and $611.6 million, respectively. | 
| ● | On September 30, 2025, the Company entered into a new credit agreement consisting of a new four-year $2.0 billion senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a three-year $300.0 million delayed draw term loan facility (the "2028 Term Loan"), replacing our previous $1.45 billion senior unsecured 2021 multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "2021 Revolving Credit Facility") that was scheduled to mature on October 30, 2025. | 
| ● | In July 2025, the maturity date of the $428.5 million term loan (the "2026 Term Loan") was extended from August 8, 2025 to August 8, 2026, following Omega's election to utilize one of two 12-month extension options. The 2026 Term Loan was also amended in September 2025 to, among other things, modify the interest rate margins to align with the 2028 Term Loan (a reduction of 35 basis points) and remove the 0.100% pricing step-up in each of the extension periods. | 
| ● | On October 15, 2025, the Company redeemed, at par value, the $600.0 million aggregate principal outstanding under its 5.250% Senior Notes with a scheduled maturity of January 15, 2026. | 
Other Highlights
| ● | We funded $12.0 million and $15.9 million under three and seven new non-real estate loans originated during 2025 with weighted average interest rates of 12.8% and 12.1% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. We advanced $5.1 million and $29.7 million under existing non-real estate loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Principal repayments of $15.5 million and $44.1 million were received on non-real estate loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. | 
Collectibility Issues
| ● | During nine months ended September 30, 2025, we placed two new operators, which Omega did not previously have a relationship with prior to 2025, and one existing operator on a cash basis of revenue recognition as collection of substantially all contractual lease payments due from them was not deemed probable. During the second quarter of 2025, we wrote off $15.5 million of straight-line rent receivable associated with placing the existing operator on a cash basis of revenue recognition as we received information regarding substantial doubt of its ability to continue as a going concern. The lease agreements with the two new operators were executed in 2025 as part of the transition of facilities from other operators. As we had no previous relationship with these new operators and collection of substantially all contractual lease payments due from the new operator was not deemed probable, we placed the new operators on a cash basis of revenue recognition concurrent with the lease commencement dates, so there were no straight-line rent receivable write-offs associated with placing these operators on a cash basis. As of September 30, 2025, 20 operators are on a cash basis for rental revenue recognition. These operators represent 18.5% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. | 
| ● | For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Maplewood paid $15.3 million and $43.3 million of contractual rent, respectively, falling short of the $17.3 million and $51.9 million of contractual rent due under its lease agreement for those periods, respectively. These amounts exclude contractual rent and payments related to Inspir Embassy Row in Washington D.C. of $3.3 million and $8.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, which were paid in full. Maplewood also did not pay any of the $3.2 million and $8.6 million of contractual interest due under the secured revolving credit facility for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Maplewood is on a cash basis of revenue recognition for lease purposes, and we recorded rental income of $15.3 million and $43.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, for contractual rent payments that were received from Maplewood. No interest income was recorded on the Maplewood secured revolving credit facility during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as the loan is on non-accrual status for interest recognition. In October 2025, Maplewood short-paid the contractual rent and interest amounts due under its lease and loan agreements by $1.7 million. | 
| ● | Following the effective date of LaVie Care Centers, LLC's ("LaVie") plan of reorganization as part of its emergence from bankruptcy, the LaVie master lease agreement with Omega was assumed by and assigned to ENDMT LLC ("Avardis") and subsequently amended and restated. Since assuming the lease, Avardis has paid full contractual rent of $9.4 million and $12.5 million in three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Avardis is on a straight-line basis for rental income recognition, and we recognized $11.0 million and $14.6 million of rental income related to Avardis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. | 
| ● | In July 2025, Genesis Healthcare, Inc. ("Genesis") commenced voluntary cases under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. Genesis will continue to operate, as a debtor-in-possession ("DIP"), the 31 facilities subject to a master lease agreement with Omega, unless and until Genesis' leasehold interest under the master lease agreement is rejected or assumed and assigned. We provided $8.0 million of a $30.0 million junior secured DIP financing, along with other lenders, to Genesis to support sufficient liquidity to, among other things, operate its facilities during bankruptcy. Since commencing the bankruptcy process in July 2025, Genesis made all required contractual rent and interest payments in August and September 2025.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Revenues
The following is a description of certain of the changes in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024:
| ● | The increase in rental income was primarily the result of (i) a $26.4 million increase related to facility acquisitions made throughout 2024 and 2025, lease extensions and other rent escalations, (ii) an $8.1 million net increase in rental income from cash basis operators, primarily related to Maplewood, as a result of receiving higher cash rent payments period over period from these operators, (iii) a $2.4 million increase related to higher rental income from our leases with operators in the U.K. primarily due to the strengthening of the British Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar and (iv) a $1.1 million increase resulting from a straight-line receivable write-off in the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by a $4.9 million net decrease related to the impact of facility transitions and sales. | 
| ● | The increase in interest income was primarily due to (i) a $6.9 million increase related to new loans and additional fundings on existing loans made throughout 2024 and 2025 and (ii) a $0.4 million increase related to loans on non-accrual status in which we have recognized higher interest income period over period as a result of receiving higher cash payments, partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease related to principal repayments on our loans during 2024 and 2025. | 
Expenses
The following is a description of certain of the changes in our expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024:
| ● | The increase in depreciation and amortization expense primarily relates to facility acquisitions and capital additions, partially offset by facility sales. | 
| ● | The increase in general and administrative ("G&A") expense primarily relates to an increase in payroll and benefits and an increase in professional service costs. | 
| ● | The decrease in acquisition, merger and transition related costs primarily relates to costs incurred related to (i) transition costs following our acquisition of the remaining 51% interest in the Cindat Joint Venture and (ii) the transition of facilities with troubled operators. | 
| ● | The 2025 impairments were recognized in connection with two held for use facilities. The 2024 impairments were recognized in connection with two facilities that were classified as held for sale and three held for use facilities. The 2025 and 2024 impairments were primarily the result of decisions to exit certain non-strategic facilities and/or terminate our relationships with certain non-strategic operators. | 
| ● | The decrease in recovery for credit losses primarily relates to a smaller recovery in the general reserve in the third quarter of 2025 compared to same period in 2024, partially offset by a net decrease in aggregate specific provisions recorded during the third quarter of 2025 compared to same period in 2024. | 
| ● | The increase in interest expense primarily relates to (i) an increase in interest due to the issuance of $600 million of 5.20% senior unsecured notes (the "2030 Senior Notes") in June 2025 and (ii) an increase in interest due to the assumption of the £188.6 million 2026 mortgage loan (the "2026 Mortgage Loan") as part of our acquisition of the remaining 51% interest in the Cindat Joint Venture in July 2024. The overall increase was partially offset by (i) a net decrease in the amortization of deferred financing fees and discounts as a result of the amortization of the fair value adjustment associated with the 2026 Mortgage Loan, (ii) the repayment of $400 million of 4.50% senior notes in January 2025 and (iii) the repayment of the OP Term Loan in April 2025. | 
Other Income (Expense)
The increase in total other income (expense) was primarily due to (i) a $28.5 million increase in gain on assets sold related to the sale of 11 facilities in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the sale of six facilities during the same period in 2024 and (ii) a $17.9 million increase in other income - net primarily related to increased interest income on short-term investments due to higher invested cash in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 and gains related to financial instruments in the third quarter of 2025.
Income Tax Expense
The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in taxable income in the U.K. as a result of acquisitions in 2025 and 2024.
(Loss) income from unconsolidated entities
The increase in (loss) income from unconsolidated entities was primarily related to one unconsolidated joint venture, OMG Senior Housing, LLC., which sold one facility during the third quarter of 2024 for a gain.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Revenues
The following is a description of certain of the changes in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024:
| ● | The increase in rental income was primarily the result of (i) an $80.4 million increase related to facility acquisitions made throughout 2024 and 2025, lease extensions and other rent escalations, (ii) a $20.3 million net increase in rental income from cash basis operators, primarily related to Maplewood, as a result of receiving higher cash rent payments period over period from these operators, (iii) a $3.7 million net increase related to the impact of facility transitions, primarily from non-paying cash basis operators to straight-line basis operators and (iv) a $5.7 million increase related to higher rental income from our leases with operators in the U.K. primarily due to the strengthening of the British Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar. The increase was partially offset by (i) a $16.4 million decrease resulting from higher straight-line receivable write-offs in 2025 compared to 2024 and (ii) a $10.0 million lease inducement provided to a cash basis operator that was recorded as a reduction to rental income in the first quarter of 2025. | 
| ● | The increase in interest income was primarily due to a $26.1 million increase related to new loans and additional fundings on existing loans made throughout 2024 and 2025, partially offset by (i) an $8.3 million decrease related to principal repayments on our loans during 2024 and 2025 and (ii) a $0.9 million decrease related to loans on non-accrual status in which we have recognized less interest income period over period as a result of receiving fewer cash payments. |

| ● | The increase in depreciation and amortization expense primarily relates to facility acquisitions and capital additions, partially offset by facility sales and facilities reclassified to assets held for sale. | 
| ● | The increase in G&A expense primarily relates to (i) $6.6 million of incremental non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $2.2 million of incremental payroll expense related to the termination of the employment agreement of our former Chief Operating Officer in the first quarter of 2025, (ii) other increases in payroll and benefits, (iii) an increase in professional service costs and (iv) an increase in operator initiatives.

The 2024 impairments were recognized in connection with four facilities that were classified as held for sale and eight held for use facilities. The 2025 and 2024 impairments were primarily the result of decisions to exit certain non-strategic facilities and/or terminate our relationships with certain non-strategic operators. | 
| ● | The decrease in recovery for credit losses primarily relates to a smaller recovery in the general reserve recorded in 2025 compared to same period in 2024, partially offset by decreases in loan balances anda net decrease in aggregate specific provisions recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to same period in 2024. | 
| ● | The decrease in interest expense primarily relates to (i) a net decrease in the amortization of deferred financing fees and discounts as a result of the amortization of the fair value adjustment associated with the 2026 Mortgage Loan, (ii) the repayment of $400 million of 4.50% senior notes in January 2025, (iii) the repayment of the OP Term Loan in April 2025, (iv) the repayment of $400 million of 4.95% senior notes in April 2024 and (v) the payoff of all remaining HUD mortgages in the first quarter of 2024. The overall decrease was partially offset by (i) an increase in interest due to the issuance of the 2030 Senior Notes in June 2025 and (ii) an increase due to the assumption of the 2026 Mortgage Loan as part of our acquisition of the remaining 51% interest in the Cindat Joint Venture in July 2024. | 
Other Income (Expense)

Income Tax Expense
The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in taxable income in the U.K. as a result of acquisitions in 2024 and 2025.
(Loss) income from unconsolidated entities
The increase in (loss) income from unconsolidated entities was primarily related to one unconsolidated joint venture, OMG Senior Housing, LLC., which sold one facility during the third quarter of 2024 for a gain.
Funds from Operations
We use funds from operations ("Nareit FFO"), a non-GAAP financial measure, as one of several criteria to measure the operating performance of our business. We calculate and report Nareit FFO in accordance with the definition of Funds from Operations and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). 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 impairment 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 are 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. We believe that Nareit FFO is an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. As real estate assets (except land) are depreciated under GAAP, 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. Nareit FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue. Nareit FFO herein is not necessarily comparable to Nareit FFO of other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us.
We further believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairment 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, Nareit FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods. We offer this measure to assist the users of our financial statements in evaluating our financial performance under GAAP, and Nareit FFO should not be considered a measure of liquidity or cash flow, an alternative to net income or an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in our securities should not rely on this measure as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.
The following table presents our Nareit FFO results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses
Our primary sources of cash include rental income and interest receipts, existing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, proceeds from our DRCSPP and ATM Program, facility sales, the issuance of additional debt, including unsecured notes and term loans, and proceeds from real estate loan and non-real estate loan payoffs. We anticipate that these sources will be adequate to fund our cash flow needs through the next twelve months, which include common stock dividends and distributions to noncontrolling interest members, debt service payments (including principal and interest), real estate investments (including facility acquisitions, capital improvement programs and other capital expenditures), real estate loan and non-real estate loan advances and normal recurring G&A expenses (primarily consisting of employee payroll and benefits and expenses relating to third parties for legal, consulting and audit services).
Capital Structure
At September 30, 2025, we had total assets of $10.6 billion, total equity of $5.2 billion and total debt of $5.0 billion in our consolidated financial statements, with such debt representing 48.9% of total capitalization.
Debt
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted average annual interest rate of our debt was 4.6%. Additionally, as of September 30, 2025, 95.1% of our debt with outstanding principal balances has fixed interest payments after reflecting the impact of interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2025, we had long-term credit ratings of Baa3 from Moody's and BBB- from S&P Global and Fitch. Credit ratings impact our ability to access capital and directly impact our cost of capital as well. For example, our Revolving Credit Facility accrues interest and fees at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus a margin that depends upon our credit rating. A downgrade in credit ratings by Moody's, S&P Global and/or Fitch may have a negative impact on the interest rates and fees for our Revolving Credit Facility, the 2028 Term Loan and the 2026 Term Loan.
On June 20, 2025, Omega issued 2030 Senior Notes that mature on July 1, 2030 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.200% per annum, payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2026. The 2030 Senior Notes were sold at an issue price of 99.118% of their face value, resulting in a discount of $5.3 million. We incurred $5.6 million of deferred costs in connection with the issuance.
In July 2025, the maturity date of the 2026 Term Loan was extended from August 8, 2025 to August 8, 2026. We have one remaining option to extend the maturity date of the 2026 Term Loan for an additional 12-month period.
On September 30, 2025, Omega entered into a new credit agreement (the "2025 Omega Credit Agreement") consisting of the Revolving Credit Facility and the 2028 Term Loan, replacing the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2026 Term Loan was also amended on September 30, 2025 to, among other things, modify the interest rate margins to align with the 2028 Term Loan (a reduction of 35 basis points) and remove the 0.100% pricing step-up in each of the extension periods. We incurred $19.8 million of deferred costs in connection with the 2025 Omega Credit Agreement.
On October 15, 2025, the Company redeemed, at par value, the $600.0 million aggregate principal outstanding under its 5.250% Senior Notes with a scheduled maturity of January 15, 2026. Our next senior unsecured note maturity is the $700.0 million of 4.50% senior unsecured notes that mature in April 2027. We also have the 2026 Mortgage Loan, with $245.9 million outstanding as of September 30, 2025, that matures in August 2026 but can be repaid as early as November 2025 without penalty. As of September 30, 2025, we had $737.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, $540.1 million of potential common share issuances remaining under the ATM Program, $2.0 billion of availability under our Revolving Credit Facility and $300.0 million of availability under our 2028 Term Loan. This combination of liquidity sources, along with cash from operating activities, provides us with the ability to repay our upcoming debt maturities.
Certain of our other secured and unsecured borrowings are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants, for our secured and unsecured borrowings.
Supplemental Guarantor Information
Parent has issued $4.4 billion aggregate principal of senior notes outstanding at September 30, 2025 that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The senior notes are guaranteed by Omega OP.
Rule 3-10 and Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X permit registrants to provide certain alternative financial and non-financial disclosures, to the extent material, in lieu of separate financial statements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities. Accordingly, separate consolidated financial statements of Omega OP have not been presented. Parent and Omega OP, on a combined basis, have no material assets, liabilities or operations other than financing activities (including borrowings under our outstanding senior notes, Revolving Credit Facility and term loans) and their investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Omega OP is currently the sole guarantor of our senior notes. The guarantees by Omega OP of our senior notes are full and unconditional and joint and several with respect to the payment of the principal and premium and interest on our senior notes. The guarantees of Omega OP are senior unsecured obligations of Omega OP that rank equal with all existing and future senior debt of Omega OP and are senior to all subordinated debt. However, the guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured debt of Omega OP. As of September 30, 2025, there were no significant restrictions on the ability of Omega OP to make distributions to Omega.
Equity
At September 30, 2025, we had 295.5 million shares of common stock outstanding, and our shares had a market value of $12.5 billion. The following is a summary of activity under our equity programs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025:
| ● | We issued 0.2 million and 7.5 million shares of common stock under our ATM Program for aggregate gross proceeds of $8.6 million and $280.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. We did not utilize the forward provisions under the ATM Program. We have $540.1 million of potential common share issuances remaining under the ATM Program as of September 30, 2025. | 
| ● | We issued 2.1 million and 8.8 million shares of common stock under the DRCSPP during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Aggregate gross proceeds from these sales were $80.5 million and $330.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. | 
| ● | We did not repurchase any shares of our outstanding common stock under the $500 Million Stock Repurchase Program, which expired in March 2025. | 
Dividends
As a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to our stockholders in an amount at least equal to (A) the sum of (i) 90% of our "REIT taxable income" (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain), and (ii) 90% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (B) the sum of certain items of non-cash income. In addition, if we dispose of any built-in gain asset during a recognition period, we will be required to distribute at least 90% of the built-in gain (after tax), if any, recognized on the disposition of such asset. Such distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if declared before we timely file our tax return for such year and paid on or before the first regular dividend payment after such declaration. In addition, such distributions are required to be made pro rata, with no preference to any share of stock as compared with other shares of the same class, and with no preference to one class of stock as compared with another class except to the extent that such class is entitled to such a preference. To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or distribute at least 90%, but less than 100% of our "REIT taxable income" as adjusted, we will be subject to tax thereon at regular corporate rates.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we paid dividends of $582.0 million to our common stockholders. On February 18, 2025, we paid dividends of $0.67 per outstanding common share to the common stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2025. On May 15, 2025, we paid dividends of $0.67 per outstanding common share to the common stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 5, 2025. On August 15, 2025, we paid dividends of $0.67 per outstanding common share to the common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 4, 2025.
Material Cash Requirements
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other than the issuance of the 2030 Senior Notes and entering in to the 2025 Omega Credit Agreement discussed above, there were no significant changes to our material cash requirements from those disclosed in the section "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2024.
As of September 30, 2025, we had $221.0 million of commitments to fund the construction of new facilities, capital improvements and other commitments under lease agreements. Additionally, we have commitments to fund $31.0 million of advancements under existing real estate loans and $51.3 million of advancements under existing non-real estate loans. These commitments are expected to be funded over the next several years and are dependent upon the operators' election to use the commitments.
In October 2025, we entered into an agreement to acquire a 9.9% equity interest in Saber ( the "OpCo Transaction"). Under the agreement, Omega committed to fund $92.6 million in cash consideration, with an expected closing date of January 1, 2026. Completion of the OpCo Transaction is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The agreement includes a $20.0 million fee, as liquidated damages, payable by the non-terminating party if the OpCo Transaction is terminated prior to closing by the other party because the non-terminating party is in breach of the agreement.
Other Arrangements
We own interests in certain unconsolidated joint ventures as described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Investments in Joint Ventures. Our risk of loss is generally limited to our investment in the joint venture and any outstanding loans receivable. We use derivative instruments to hedge interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate exposure as discussed in Note 16 - Derivatives and Hedging.

The following is a discussion of changes in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Operating Activities - The increase in net cash provided by operating activities is driven primarily by an increase of $128.2 million of net income, net of $7.9 million of non-cash items, primarily due to a year over year increase in rental income and interest income as discussed in our material changes analysis under Results of Operations above.
Investing Activities - The increase in cash used in investing activities primarily related to (i) a $398.0 million increase in real estate acquisitions primarily as a result of a 45-facility acquisition in the U.K. and Bailiwick of Jersey in the second quarter of 2025, (ii) a $76.8 million increase in investments in unconsolidated entities, (iii) a $4.1 million increase in capital improvements to real estate investments and construction in progress and (iv) a $3.8 million decrease in proceeds from derivative instruments related to the termination of two foreign currency forward contracts during the first quarter of 2024. The overall increase in cash used in investing activities was partially offset by (i) a $195.3 million increase in proceeds from the sales of real estate investments, (ii) a $138.8 million decrease in loan placements, net of repayments as a result of fewer new loans advanced in 2025 compared to 2024 and paydowns on mortgage loans due from Ciena Healthcare Management, Inc. and on other loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, (iii) a $7.1 million increase in distributions from unconsolidated entities in excess of earnings and (iv) a $2.8 million increase in receipts from insurance proceeds.
Financing Activities - The increase in cash provided by financing activities primarily related to a $627.2 million decrease in repayments on long-term borrowings, net of proceeds. The overall increase in cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by (i) a $194.4 million increase in net proceeds from issuance of common stock as a result of increased volume under our ATM Program and DRCSPP,(ii) a $78.0 million increase in dividends paid primarily related to share issuances during 2024 and 2025, (iii) a $18.7 million increase in payment of financing related costs related to the 2025 Omega Credit Agreement entered into in September 2025, (iv) a $10.5 million increase in distributions to Omega OP Unit holders and (v) a $5.8 million increase in redemption of Omega OP Units.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the U.S. Our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. We have described our accounting policies in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2024.
