Financial Analyst

NHI's Q2 2024 results show mixed performance. While net income per share decreased from $0.92 to $0.81 year-over-year, NAREIT FFO and Normalized FFO per share increased. The company's rental income grew by 7.9%, primarily due to pandemic-related rent deferral repayments and new investments.

The company has raised its 2024 guidance, indicating confidence in its performance for the rest of the year. This is supported by strong internal growth measures and portfolio optimization. NHI's external growth profile is also improving, with $56.6 million in investments already closed in 2024 at an average yield of 8.4%.

The company's balance sheet remains strong, with a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio within its target range. However, investors should note the decrease in gains on sales of real estate, which fell by $9.8 million compared to Q2 2023.

Real Estate Investment Analyst

NHI's portfolio activity shows a strategic focus on senior housing. The acquisition of a 110-unit assisted living facility and the $9.5 million mortgage note for two facilities demonstrate the company's commitment to expanding in this sector. The lease extension with SLC and the $10 million investment in SLC communities indicate efforts to strengthen relationships with key tenants.

The company's pipeline is robust, with $155.4 million of investment opportunities under LOI at an attractive average yield of 8.4%. This, combined with the $1.8 billion funnel of investment opportunities, suggests strong potential for future growth.

Occupancy rates across the portfolio show steady improvement, particularly in the SHOP segment, which rose from 75.4% in April 2023 to 88.2% in July 2024. This trend bodes well for future NOI growth in the SHOP portfolio.

A detailed schedule for the 2024 guidance range as well as additional assumptions is included in this press release.

Results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year were impacted by the following:

• Rental income recognized from the Company's tenants increased $4.8 million, or 7.9%, primarily as a result of an increase in pandemic-related rent deferral repayments of approximately $4.0 million, including a $2.5 million lump sum payment from a cash basis operator, and new investments funded since June 2023, partially offset by properties disposed of since June 2023.

• Straight-line lease revenue decreased $1.7 million, or 57.8%, to $1.2 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2024, straight-line revenue increased by $0.7 million primarily due to the extension of the Senior Living Community ("SLC") lease maturity.

• Interest income and other was approximately $0.7 million higher primarily due to new and existing loan fundings, net of paydowns on loans since the end of the second quarter of 2023;

• Net operating income ("NOI") from the Senior Housing Operating Portfolio ("SHOP") segment, comprised of revenues from resident fees and related services less operating expenses, totaled $3.0 million which is $0.8 million higher than the same period in the prior year due primarily to increased revenues from higher occupancy in the Company's SHOP activities in the current period;

• Interest expense increased by approximately $0.7 million primarily as the result of increased interest rates and borrowings on the unsecured revolving credit facility;

• Loan and realty losses increased $0.9 million associated with an increase in the credit loss reserve of $0.5 million and real estate impairment charges on one property of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2024 in the Real Estate Investments segment. During the second quarter of 2023, two real estate properties were impaired resulting in a total of $0.1 million in impairment charges; and

• Gains on sales of real estate, net decreased $9.8 million. The gains recognized in the second quarter of 2024 were primarily associated with the disposition of two properties. During the second quarter of 2023, NHI disposed of three properties that resulted in gains of approximately $11.4 million.

Eric Mendelsohn, NHI President and CEO, stated, "We had another great quarter which exceeded our expectations. Given the strong quarterly results and continued good visibility into the second half of the year we are again raising our full year guidance."

Mr. Mendelsohn continued, "This year's outperformance has been driven by internal growth measures which are the result of our carefully planned and executed portfolio optimization. We continue to remain excited about our organic potential from upside in the SHOP portfolio, significant lease revenue tied to revenue growth at multiple triple-net tenants, as well as deferral repayments and future rent resets with strategic operating partners."

Mr. Mendelsohn concluded, "In addition to our organic growth, we are beginning to enhance our external growth profile. We have already closed on 2024 investments totaling $56.6 million with an average initial yield of 8.4%. We have signed LOIs on another $155.4 million with an average yield of approximately 8.4%. Our cost of capital has improved significantly this year, which creates an outstanding pathway for sustained accretive external investment growth. We have received proposals on deals valued at approximately $1.8 billion of which we are evaluating approximately $270.0 million, excluding portfolio deals and primarily in senior housing assets."

Portfolio Activity

• In June 2024, NHI acquired a 110-unit assisted living facility located in Sussex, Wisconsin, from Encore Senior Living. The acquisition price was $32.1 million, including $0.1 million in closing costs, and the cancellation of an outstanding construction note receivable held by the Company of $22.2 million including interest. NHI added the facility to an existing master lease with Encore Senior Living for a term of 15 years at an initial lease rate of 8.25%, and annual escalators of 2.21%.

• In June 2024, NHI funded $9.5 million on a mortgage note receivable secured by two facilities with Compass Senior Living, LLC. The five-year loan agreement has an annual interest rate of 8.5% with an option to purchase one or both facilities after July 2026.

• In June 2024, NHI transitioned a leased skilled nursing facility located in Wisconsin to a new operator at the same annual cash rental amount. The new lease contains a tenant purchase option to acquire the property at the end of the initial lease term in 2031 or during the renewal period at a fixed minimum internal rate of return on our investment. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company wrote off to rental income the straight-line rent receivable of approximately $0.8 million associated with the terminated lease.

• In the second quarter of 2024, NHI extended the maturity of the master lease with SLC by two years to December 31, 2031. The extension is part of an agreement whereby NHI is investing $10.0 million in SLC communities as part of the previously announced board-approved total investment of $25.0 million for existing leased properties in the NHI portfolio. As a result of the extension, SLC's straight-line revenue for the second quarter of 2024 increased to $0.2 million compared to ($0.7) million in the first quarter of 2024.

• The master lease for the three independent living facilities and 32 skilled nursing facilities leased to National HealthCare Corporation expires on December 31, 2026. The master lease contains two additional five-year renewal options at a fair rental value as negotiated between the parties. NHI has engaged Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors, a national advisory firm focused on skilled nursing and senior housing, to assist with underwriting, diligence, and market analysis with respect to the master lease renewal.

• As previously announced, effective April 1, 2024, the combined rent for the Bickford portfolio was reset to $34.5 million per year with nominal increases through April 1, 2026, at which time the rent will be reset to a fair market value based on the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Base rent will escalate annually thereafter based on either a fixed percentage or CPI subject to a floor of 2% and a ceiling of 3%. As part of the lease amendments, NHI agreed to fund up to $8.0 million of capital improvements on various properties, of which less than $0.1 million was funded as of June 30, 2024. Rental revenue will increase at a defined lease rate applied to the amount expended.

• As previously announced, in the second quarter of 2024, NHI completed the sale of two assisted living communities located in Louisiana, previously leased to one of the Company's tenants on cash basis, for net cash proceeds of approximately $4.7 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $1.4 million.

Recent Pipeline Developments

• NHI currently has approximately $155.4 million of investment opportunities under Board approved signed Letters of Intent ("LOI") with an average initial yield of approximately 8.4%. The signed LOIs include primarily sale leaseback investments and a loan with a purchase option in senior housing properties.

• NHI has received proposals on a funnel of investment opportunities of approximately $1.8 billion. In addition to the investments that have been Board approved, the Company is currently evaluating a pipeline of approximately $270.0 million of investments which include SHOP, sale-leaseback, and loans with purchase options primarily for senior housing assets. The pipeline excludes portfolio deals.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $1.1 billion in net debt including $244.5 million outstanding on its $700.0 million revolving credit facility. At July 31, 2024, NHI had $268.0 million outstanding under the $700.0 million revolving credit facility and approximately $52.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has $500.0 million available under the at-the-market program.

NHI continues to maintain a strong financial profile, with a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio that is well within the Company's target range of 4.0x - 5.0x. NHI is in compliance with all debt covenants and has investment grade credit ratings from Moody's, S&P Global, and Fitch Ratings.

Assets Held for Sale and Impairments of Real Estate

At June 30, 2024, two properties in NHI's Real Estate Investments reportable segment, with an aggregate net real estate balance of $5.7 million, were classified as assets held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Rental income associated with assets held for sale as of June 30, 2024 totaled $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, NHI recorded impairment charges of approximately $0.7 million on one property reclassified to assets held for sale in the second quarter of 2024 in the Real Estate Investments segment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, NHI recorded impairment charges of approximately $0.1 million on two properties and approximately $0.5 million on three properties, respectively, in the Real Estate Investments segment. The impairment charges were determined in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the applicable quarter and are included in "Loan and realty losses (gains)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Notes to Reconciliation of FFO, Normalized FFO, Normalized FAD and NOI

These supplemental performance measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other REITs. Consequently, our Funds From Operations ("FFO"), Normalized FFO, Normalized Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD") and Net Operating Income ("NOI") may not provide a meaningful measure of our performance as compared to that of other REITs. Since other REITs may not use our definition of these performance measures, caution should be exercised when comparing our FFO, Normalized FFO, Normalized FAD and NOI to that of other REITs. These financial performance measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") (these measures do not include changes in operating assets and liabilities) and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net earnings as an indication of performance, or to net cash flow from operating activities as determined by GAAP as a measure of liquidity, and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

Funds From Operations - FFO

FFO, as defined by NAREIT and applied by us, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, if any. The Company's computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from that of the Company; therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing our Company's FFO to that of other REITs. Diluted FFO assumes the exercise of stock options and other potentially dilutive securities. Normalized FFO excludes from FFO certain items which, due to their infrequent or unpredictable nature, may create some difficulty in comparing FFO for the current period to similar prior periods, and may include, but are not limited to, impairment of non-real estate assets, gains and losses attributable to the acquisition and disposition of assets and liabilities, and recoveries of previous write-downs.

FFO and Normalized FFO are important supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. 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. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative, and should be supplemented with a measure such as FFO. The term FFO was designed by the REIT industry to address this issue.

Funds Available for Distribution - FAD

In addition to the adjustments included in the calculation of Normalized FFO, Normalized FAD excludes the impact of any straight-line rent revenue, amortization of the original issue discount on our senior unsecured notes, amortization of debt issuance costs, non-cash stock based compensation, as well as certain non-cash items related to our equity method investment.

Normalized FAD is an important supplemental performance measure for a REIT. GAAP requires a lessor to recognize contractual lease payments into income on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease. This straight-line adjustment has the effect of reporting lease income that is significantly more or less than the contractual cash flows received pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement. GAAP also requires any discount or premium related to indebtedness and debt issuance costs to be amortized as non-cash adjustments to earnings. The Company also adjusts Normalized FAD for the net change in the allowance for expected credit losses, non-cash stock based compensation, senior housing portfolio capital expenditures as well as certain non-cash items related to equity method investments such as straight-line lease expense and amortization of purchase accounting adjustments. Normalized FAD is an important supplemental measure of liquidity for a REIT as a useful indicator of the ability to distribute dividends to stockholders.

Net operating income ("NOI") is a U.S. non-GAAP supplemental financial measure used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate. NOI is defined as total revenues, less tenant reimbursements and property operating expenses. The Company believes NOI provides investors relevant and useful information as it measures the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. The Company uses NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our properties.
