CEO COMMENTS

Taylor Pickett, Omega’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our fourth quarter financial performance was materially in line with our prior quarter, as we continued to work through operator restructurings. As we previously announced, our first quarter earnings will be further impacted by deferred rents associated with additional operator restructurings. We expect this will result in a decline in our first quarter earnings and a related increase in our dividend payout ratio. Barring additional unforeseen restructurings, we would expect our operating performance to improve as the year progresses and operator restructurings are completed. However, with both facility occupancy and profitability still meaningfully below pre-pandemic levels, the risk of further operator issues remains.”

Mr. Pickett continued, “The operating backdrop seems to be slowly improving. Portfolio occupancy continues to grow, albeit modestly, as the labor market gradually improves. Many states have also implemented much needed Medicaid reimbursement rate increases, for which the industry is grateful. However, with inflation still at elevated levels, it is vitally important that federal and state fundings continue to reflect the challenging cost environment facing the industry.”

Mr. Pickett concluded, “Still, we remain constructive on our business longer-term. As a low-cost provider of post-acute care, the skilled nursing industry is an integral part of the healthcare continuum and an important tool in the effort to meet increasing clinical needs at a manageable price. We believe the industry is well positioned to benefit from multi-decade demographic tailwinds, and we will continue to work with our operators to help them meet this increased demand.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2022 RESULTS

Revenues – Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 totaled $144.8 million, a decrease of $105.1 million over the same period in 2021. The decrease primarily resulted from (i) incremental write-offs of straight-line accounts receivable and lease inducements in 2022 as a result of placing LaVie Care Centers, LLC (“LaVie,” f/k/a Consulate Health Care), Maplewood Senior Living (“Maplewood”) and two other operators on a cash basis for revenue recognition, (ii) asset sales completed throughout 2021 and 2022, (iii) operator restructurings and (iv) no rental income in the fourth 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 December 31, 2022 totaled $280.1 million, an increase of $63.5 million over the same period in 2021.

Other Income and Expense – Other income for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 totaled $183.2 million, an increase of $182.9 million over the same period in 2021. The increase primarily resulted from a $179.2 million increase in gain on assets sold.

Net Income – Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 totaled $46.7 million, an increase of $12.5 million over the same period in 2021. The increase primarily resulted from the aforementioned $182.9 million increase in other income and expense partially offset by (i) the $105.1 million decrease in total revenue, (ii) the $63.5 million increase in expenses and (iii) a $1.8 million decrease in income from unconsolidated joint ventures.

2022 ANNUAL RESULTS

Revenues – Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $878.2 million, a decrease of $184.6 million over the same period in 2021.

2022 FOURTH QUARTER PORTFOLIO AND RECENT ACTIVITY

Operator Updates:

LaVie – In the fourth quarter of 2022, Omega began the process of restructuring its portfolio with LaVie. On December 30, 2022, the Company sold 11 facilities previously subject to a lease agreement with LaVie to a third party for a sales price of $129.8 million and provided $104.8 million of seller financing bearing interest at 8% with a December 29, 2027 maturity. In connection with the restructuring, Omega agreed to provide LaVie a $35.0 million transition fee in the fourth quarter of 2022 in connection with the sale of these facilities and expected future facility sales; $25.0 million of this fee was assumed and paid by the buyer of the 11 facilities, rather than Omega, as part of the consideration of the transaction. Concurrent with the sale, Omega also amended its lease agreement with LaVie to reduce the contractual rent from $8.3 million to $7.3 million per month and to provide Omega a rent reset if LaVie meets certain financial metrics at any time after February 1, 2027. Omega’s two term loan agreements with LaVie, with $32.5 million in aggregate principal outstanding, were also amended to extend the maturity dates to November 2036, reduce the interest rates to 2%, convert from monthly cash interest payment to payment-in-kind interest and to remove the requirement for principal payments before the maturity date. The restructuring discussions are still ongoing, but the Company anticipates additional restructuring activity related to this operator in 2023. As a result of the restructuring activities during 2022 and future expected restructuring activities, during the fourth quarter of 2022, Omega placed LaVie on a cash basis of revenue recognition, recorded the $24.8 million received for rent in the quarter and wrote off approximately $58.0 million of straight-line rent receivables and lease inducements to rental income. The Company also recorded a $23.3 million provision for credit losses related to LaVie’s term loans in the fourth quarter of 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company agreed to allow LaVie to defer up to 66% of contractual rent from January 2023 through April 2023.

Maplewood – In the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a restructuring agreement to amend and restate its master lease and loan agreement with Maplewood. As part of the restructuring agreement and amendments, Omega and Maplewood agreed, among other terms, to (i) fix contractual rent at $69.3 million per annum and defer the annual 2.5% escalators through December 31, 2025, (ii) convert the 7% per annum cash interest due on the loan to PIK only interest in 2023 with cash interest payments to be phased in starting in 2024 and (iii) increase the capacity of the loan from $250.5 million to $320.0 million, inclusive of PIK interest. As a result of the negotiations, during the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company placed Maplewood on a cash basis of revenue recognition, recorded the $20.2 million received for rent and interest, and wrote off approximately $29.3 million of straight-line rent receivables and lease inducements to rental income.

Agemo – During the fourth quarter of 2022, Agemo continued to not pay its 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. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company sold 20 facilities that were previously leased to Agemo for $316 million in net proceeds; bringing the 2022 total Agemo assets sold to 22 facilities for $359 million in net proceeds. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a restructuring agreement, in which Omega and Agemo agreed, among other terms, to (i) reduce annual base rent and interest to $27.9 million commensurate with the sale of the 22 facilities in 2022 and (ii) defer Agemo’s requirement to pay rent and interest until April 1, 2023.

Healthcare Homes – During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company agreed to allow Healthcare Homes Limited (“Healthcare Homes”), a U.K. based operator representing 2.5% of fourth quarter 2022 annualized contractual rent and mortgage interest, the ability to defer up to £6.7 million of contractual rent from January 2023 through April 2023 with regular payments to resume in May 2023. The deferred rent balance accrues interest monthly at a rate of 8% per annum and must be fully repaid by December 31, 2024.

Other Operators – As previously disclosed, an operator representing 2.4% of the Company’s first quarter 2022 annualized contractual rent and interest revenue was placed on a cash basis in the second quarter of 2022 after the operator failed to make full contractual rent payments. In the fourth quarter, the operator continued to under-pay rent and paid only $1.5 million, which was recorded for both adjusted FFO and FAD purposes. In January 2023, the operator paid $0.5 million of the $2.0 million of contractual rent due. Omega expects to finalize the transition of this portfolio during the first quarter of 2023.

Also, as previously disclosed, an operator representing 2.2% of the Company’s second quarter 2022 annualized contractual rent and interest revenue was placed on a cash basis in the third quarter of 2022 after Omega allowed the operator to apply a $5.4 million letter of credit towards unpaid contractual rent. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the operator paid $2.3 million in cash rent and the Company applied the remaining $1.5 million using the proceeds from the letter of credit, which are fully exhausted. As the operator is on a cash basis, the Company recognized $3.8 million in revenue, adjusted FFO and FAD for the cash received and the cash collateral applied to rent in the fourth quarter of 2022. This operator paid $0.3 million in contractual rent in January 2023.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company transitioned three facilities to an existing operator for an initial annual rent of $1.6 million. On February 1, 2023, the Company transitioned 16 of the remaining 20 facilities previously leased to the 2.2% operator to one new and one existing operator for a combined annual rent of $11.2 million. The remaining four facilities are in negotiations to transition to a new operator in the first quarter of 2023.

Other Industry News – On January 30, 2023, it was announced that the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (“PHE”) will end on May 11, 2023. The PHE provided a number of benefits to the industry that will end with its conclusion. The impact on individual operators will vary, and therefore it is not possible to quantify the financial impact it will have on portfolio coverage. However, we expect this will be a modest but incremental headwind to the financial performance of most of our skilled nursing tenants.

$89 Million Real Estate Acquisition – On December 1, 2022, the Company acquired one facility in Pennsylvania and six facilities in North Carolina for $88.5 million. Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company amended an existing operator’s master lease to include the seven acquired facilities. The incremental base rent for the additional facilities is $7.9 million per annum and includes annual escalators of 2%.

Asset Sales and Impairments:

$321 Million in Asset Sales – In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company sold 33 facilities for $320.8 million in cash and $104.8 million in seller financing, recognizing a gain of $180.2 million. Twenty of these facilities were previously classified as held for sale. The sale of 11 facilities, previously leased to LaVie, and the related $104.8 million seller financing were not recognized for accounting purposes as the sale and related seller financing did not meet the accounting criteria to be recognized as a sale and therefore the assets will remain on the balance sheet and the cash interest payments received on the seller’s note will not be included in revenue, but will be added back for purposes of adjusted FFO and FAD.

Impairments and Assets Held for Sale – During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a $17.2 million net impairment charge, in connection with the LaVie portfolio restructuring to reduce the net book value of 12 facilities to their estimated fair value.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had two facilities classified as assets held for sale, totaling $9.5 million in net book value. One of the two facilities was sold on January 6, 2023 for $20 million.

RECLASSIFICATION

Effective for the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company adjusted its presentation of certain financial statement line items on its Consolidated Balance Sheet to better align with similar companies in the healthcare real estate space. Mortgage notes receivable – net has been renamed Real estate loans receivable – net, Other investments – net has been renamed Non-real estate loans receivable – net, and certain loans have been reclassified out of Other Investments – net into Real estate loans receivable – net. Specifically, other real estate loans collateralized by second or third mortgage liens, a leasehold mortgage on, or an assignment of partnership interest in the related properties that were previously presented in Other Investments – net are now presented in Real estate loans receivable – net.

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.

___________________________
(1)	The three months and year ended December 31, 2022 includes the application of $1.6 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of security deposits (letters of credit and cash deposits) in revenue. The three months and year ended December 31, 2021 includes the application of $0.1 million and $11.8 million, respectively, of security deposits (letter of credit and cash deposits) in revenue.
(2)	The three months and year ended December 31, 2021 includes $14.8 million and $21.3 million of revenue related to Gulf Coast recognized based on our ability to offset uncollected rent against the interest and principal of certain debt obligations of Omega.
(3)	Straight-line accounts receivable write-off recorded as a reduction to rental income.
(4)	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. As used in this press release, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

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

Adjusted FFO is calculated as Nareit FFO excluding the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation and certain revenue and expense items (e.g., acquisition, merger and transition related costs, write-off of straight-line accounts receivable, recoveries and provisions for credit losses (excluding certain cash recoveries on impaired loans), cash interest received but not included in revenue, 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.
