Completed $126 Million in New Investments in Q2 2026
Increased Quarterly Dividend by $0.01 to $0.68 in August
Raises Full Year Adjusted FFO Guidance
HUNT VALLEY, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$OHI #Healthcare--Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (NYSE: OHI) (the “Company” or “Omega”) announced today its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.


SECOND QUARTER 2026 AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
Nareit Funds From Operations (“Nareit FFO”), AFFO, FAD and NOI are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures the Company believes are useful in evaluating the performance of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Reconciliations and further information regarding these non-GAAP measures are provided at the end of this press release.
CEO COMMENTS
Taylor Pickett, Omega’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to report strong second quarter results, with FAD per share up 6.3% over the same quarter last year. This reflects our continued accretive investment activity, augmented by active portfolio management. As a result, we were again able to increase our AFFO guidance, moving the midpoint up by two cents to $3.24.”
Mr. Pickett continued, “While we were able to allocate capital to a diverse selection of accretive investments in the second and early third quarter, including our first UK care home operating company acquisition, the dollar amount of the investments is not reflective of our pipeline. Although we do not provide specific acquisitions guidance, based on our pipeline today, we would expect a significant increase in the amount of capital we are able to allocate through the remainder of this year and into early 2027.”
Mr. Pickett concluded, “I have been in the industry for 33 years and I have been fortunate enough to lead Omega for the last 25 years. Now, as I prepare to retire, I can safely say that this is the most favorable operating backdrop that I have known in my career. Furthermore, with our strong operating partners and our exceptional, driven team, I believe Omega is excellently positioned to generate outsized returns for shareholders for many years to come.”
SECOND QUARTER 2026 PORTFOLIO AND RECENT ACTIVITY
Operator Updates:
Ciena – During the second quarter of 2026, the Company transitioned 20 skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) included in the Laurels portfolio out of its lease with Ciena Healthcare Management, Inc. (“Ciena”). Of the 20 facilities, 18 were re-leased to Saber, one was re-leased to The Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County (“HHC”), and one was sold to the Saber PropCo JV. The transaction strengthened the portfolio's credit profile by replacing a lease with trailing 12-month EBITDAR coverage of 0.87x with leases to operators generating EBITDAR coverage above the portfolio mean of 1.65x. In separate transactions completed during the second quarter of 2026 and July 2026, Ciena also sold its eight owned Laurels facilities to the Saber PropCo JV. While these transactions are initially FAD neutral for Omega, they are expected to enhance the operating performance of Ciena's remaining portfolio. Additionally, Omega's 9.9% equity interest in Saber (discussed further below) provides potential upside from future operating improvements at the transitioned facilities.
Genesis – As previously disclosed, Genesis Healthcare, Inc. (“Genesis”) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July 9, 2025. Since filing for bankruptcy, Genesis has made all required contractual rent and interest payments through July 2026. During the second quarter of 2026, Omega received a $16.3 million paydown on the super-priority secured debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing, resulting in an outstanding balance of $8.7 million under such financing as of June 30, 2026. In addition, there is $139.8 million of principal outstanding under two secured term loans as of June 30, 2026. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company recognized rental income of $13.3 million for contractual rent payments received from Genesis, and interest income of $5.9 million, consisting of $0.7 million of cash interest and $5.2 million of paid-in-kind interest.
Maplewood – In the second quarter of 2026, Maplewood Senior Living (along with affiliates “Maplewood”) paid $19.6 million in rent (compared to $19.4 million in the first quarter of 2026).

BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $4.1 billion in outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average annual interest rate of 4.2%. The Company’s indebtedness consisted of an aggregate principal amount of $3.8 billion of senior unsecured notes, $6.0 million on its revolving credit facility, and a $300.0 million term loan. As of June 30, 2026, total cash and cash equivalents were $39.0 million, and the Company had $2.0 billion in undrawn capacity under its unsecured revolving credit facility.
DIVIDENDS
On July 23, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.68 per share, increasing the quarterly dividend on its common stock by $0.01 per share over the previous quarter. The dividend is payable August 14, 2026, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 3, 2026.
2026 GUIDANCE INCREASED
The Company’s expected 2026 Adjusted FFO range is between $3.22 to $3.26 per diluted share compared to the previous range of $3.19 and $3.25 per diluted share.
The guidance assumes:
The Company’s guidance is based on several assumptions including those noted above, which are subject to change and many of which are outside the Company’s control. However, it excludes any additional:
If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the timing of collection of rental obligations from operators on a cash basis and the timing and completion of acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings and capital and financing transactions may cause actual results to vary materially from the Company’s current expectations. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its projected results. The Company may, from time to time, update its publicly announced AFFO guidance, but it is not obligated to do so.
The Company does not provide a reconciliation for its AFFO guidance to GAAP net income because it is unable to determine meaningful or accurate estimates of reconciling items without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amounts of various items that would impact future net income. This includes, but is not limited to, changes in the provision for credit losses, real estate impairments, acquisition, merger and transition related costs, straight-line write-offs, gain/loss on assets sold, etc. In particular, the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount of change in the provision for credit losses in future periods, which is often a significant reconciling adjustment.

Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Language
This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements regarding Omega’s or its tenants’, operators’, borrowers’ or managers’ expected future financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, funds from operations, dividends and dividend plans, financing opportunities and plans, capital markets transactions, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, operating metrics, capital expenditures, competitive positions, acquisitions, investment opportunities, dispositions, facility transitions, growth opportunities, expected lease income, continued qualification as a REIT, plans and objectives of management for future operations and statements that include words such as “anticipate,” “if,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “will” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ from Omega's expectations.
Omega’s actual results may differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including, among other things: (i) uncertainties relating to the business operations of the operators of our Triple-Net assets and the managers of our Operating portfolio assets (collectively, our “operators”), including those relating to reimbursement by third-party payors, regulatory matters, occupancy levels and quality of care, including the management of infectious diseases; (ii) our operators’ ability to manage industry challenges, including staffing shortages, which may impact certain regions more acutely, increased costs, and the sufficiency of governmental reimbursement rates to offset such costs and the conditions related thereto; (iii) additional regulatory and other changes in the healthcare sector, including changes to Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements, the potential impact of recent changes to state Medicaid funding levels as well as legislative and regulatory initiatives related to establishing minimum staffing requirements for skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) that may further exacerbate labor and occupancy challenges for Omega’s operators; (iv) the ability of any of Omega’s operators in bankruptcy to reject unexpired lease obligations, modify the terms of Omega’s mortgages and impede the ability of Omega to collect unpaid rent or interest during the pendency of a bankruptcy proceeding and retain security deposits for the debtor’s obligations, and other costs and uncertainties associated with operator bankruptcies; (v) changes in tax laws and regulations affecting REITs, including as the result of any federal or state policy changes driven by the current focus on capital providers to the healthcare industry; (vi) Omega’s ability to re-lease, otherwise transition or sell underperforming assets or assets held for sale on a timely basis and on terms that allow Omega to realize the carrying value of these assets or to redeploy the proceeds therefrom on favorable terms, including due to the potential impact of changes in the SNF and assisted living facility (“ALF”) markets or local real estate conditions; (vii) the availability and cost of capital to Omega; (viii) changes in Omega’s credit ratings and the ratings of its debt securities; (ix) competition in the financing of healthcare facilities; (x) competition in the long-term healthcare industry and shifts in the perception of various types of long-term care facilities, including SNFs and ALFs; (xi) changes in the financial position of Omega’s operators; (xii) the effect of economic, regulatory and market conditions generally, and particularly in the healthcare industry in the U.
