Completed $172 Million in Real Estate Investments

Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (NYSE: OHI) (the “Company” or “Omega”) announced today its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The Company reported net income for the quarter of $142.8 million or $0.58 per common share. The Company also reported Nareit Funds From Operations (“Nareit FFO”) for the quarter of $180.7 million or $0.73 per common share, Adjusted Funds From Operations (“Adjusted FFO” or “AFFO”) of $208.8 million or $0.85 per common share, and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) of $198.8 million.

Nareit FFO, AFFO and FAD are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that the Company believes are useful in evaluating the performance of real estate investment trusts. For more information regarding these non-GAAP measures, see the “Funds From Operations” on the Company’s website at www.omegahealthcare.com.

CEO COMMENTS

Taylor Pickett, Omega’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Facility occupancy continued to improve in the quarter but still sits meaningfully below pre-pandemic levels, and as a result, many operators continue to rely on federal and state government support. While an additional allocation of federal support was announced in the third quarter, it remains to be seen whether this will be sufficient to fund operator obligations through this continuing pandemic.”

Mr. Pickett continued, “Although we reported strong third quarter adjusted FFO and FAD, these results include approximately $16 million of revenue recognized by applying security deposits, letters of credit and collateral to Agemo and Gulf Coast’s contractual obligations. When this collateral is exhausted and if these tenants continue not to pay rent, we expect that this would reduce our near-term adjusted FFO and FAD financial results.”

Mr. Pickett concluded, “As we have throughout this crisis, we would like to highlight the incredible efforts of our operators and their heroic employees, who continue to work tirelessly to bravely protect and care for their residents.”

NET INCOME

The Company reported net income of $142.8 million, or $0.58 per common share, on revenues of $281.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This compares to a net loss of ($93.8) million, or ($0.40) per common share, on revenues of $119.2 million, for the same period in 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported net income of $394.1 million, or $1.62 per common share, on revenues of $812.9 million. This compares to net income of $100.5 million, or $0.43 per common share, on revenues of $628.6 million, for the same period in 2020.

The year-over-year increase in net income for the nine-month period ended September 30 was primarily due to (i) a $146.7 million increase in gain on the sale of assets, (ii) a $122.1 million decrease in the write-off of non-cash revenue (primarily straight-line revenue), (iii) $62.2 million in revenue from incremental new investments completed, and (iv) a $9.9 million increase in income from unconsolidated joint ventures. The increase in net income was partially offset by (i) a $29.8 million increase in loss on early extinguishment of debt, (ii) a $9.9 million increase in interest expense, and (iii) a $9.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense from new investments.

Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes revenue recognized related to the application of security deposits and letter of credit proceeds, as well as revenue recognized based upon our ability to offset uncollected contractual rental obligations due from an operator against the interest and principal of certain Omega debt obligations.

Omega holds letters of credit from Guardian equal to $7.4 million.

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 current expected credit losses, severance, 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.
