• Subsequent to quarter end, Sabra closed on the acquisition of seven additional managed senior housing properties - including several value-add opportunities - for an aggregate price of $223.0 million. These investments have attractive embedded growth prospects and are expected to achieve unlevered IRRs in the teens.
• Investments closed year to date total $599.0 million, with an estimated initial cash yield of 7.5%.
• Sabra has been awarded an additional $100 million of managed senior housing and skilled nursing investments with an estimated initial cash yield of approximately 7.7%, all of which are expected to close by year end. These investments are currently in the Letter of Intent or later stage, and Sabra expects to fund these investments, if consummated, with available liquidity, including proceeds from outstanding forward sales agreements under its at-the-market equity offering program (“ATM program”).
• During the second quarter of 2026, Sabra exercised its option to reset the rent under its lease with the Avamere Family of Companies (“Avamere”) to a fixed amount tied to the portfolio’s historical performance. The reset increased annualized fixed cash rent to $48 million and was retroactive to February 1, 2026, which compares to $41 million of cash rent paid in 2025. The revised rent amount will be in effect until the Avamere transition outlined in Sabra's July 21, 2026, business update closes.
• During the second quarter of 2026, Sabra utilized the forward feature of the ATM program to allow for the sale of up to 0.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial weighted average price of $20.72 per share. As of June 30, 2026, 21.4 million shares remained outstanding under forward sale agreements at a weighted average price of $19.24 per share, net of commissions.
• As of June 30, 2026, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 4.61x.
• On August 3, 2026, Sabra’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on August 31, 2026, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 14, 2026.
• Sabra is also reiterating its full year 2026 guidance, which was included in Sabra’s July 21, 2026, business update.

Commenting on the second quarter’s results, Rick Matros, CEO and Chair, said, “Sabra delivered another solid quarter. Our same-store managed portfolio cash NOI growth continued to be healthy. Both our consolidated and unconsolidated managed portfolio came in with strong margin growth as well as increased occupancy. Our triple-net skilled nursing portfolio rent coverage increased yet again. The triple-net senior housing portfolio saw drops in occupancy and coverage simply due to the conversion of a high-performing triple-net asset to the managed portfolio. Otherwise, it would have been flat. In aggregate, our top ten tenants again showed increased coverage.

Sabra has now closed on approximately $600 million in investments this year, with another $100 million in the process of closing. Even with the addition of a few value-add opportunities, we are still getting transactions done at attractive yields. Our investment pipeline remains robust and consists almost entirely of senior housing opportunities. Our leverage, which was noted to be down to 4.8x in our recent business update, was 4.6x as of June 30. We look forward to a strong finish for the year.”

LIQUIDITY

As of June 30, 2026, we had approximately $1.3 billion of liquidity, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $231.6 million, available borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $682.5 million and $411.8 million related to shares outstanding under forward sale agreements under the ATM program. As of June 30, 2026, we also had $334.1 million available under our ATM program.
