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 September 30, 2026.


THIRD 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
Matthew Gourmand, Omega’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to report strong third quarter results, as we continued to grow FAD per share year over year, while reducing leverage to the lowest level in the Company’s history. As a result, we were again able to increase our AFFO guidance, moving the midpoint up by five cents to $3.29.”
Mr. Gourmand continued, “The investments made in the third and early fourth quarter highlight the breadth of opportunities available to us to continue to grow shareholder value. The pipeline remains strong, and we expect to make further accretive investments through the remainder of this year and into early 2027.”
Mr. Gourmand concluded, “Importantly, the backdrop that has allowed us to deliver strong shareholder returns over the past few years remains in place. Operating metrics continue to be robust, with operator coverage further improving in the quarter, and we have a strong balance sheet and cost of capital that should allow us to continue to accretively invest.”
THIRD QUARTER 2026 PORTFOLIO AND RECENT ACTIVITY
Operator Updates:
PACS – On October 1, 2026, the Company transitioned 32 SNFs in Florida from Airamid Health Services, LLC (“Airamid”) to PACS and added the facilities to the Company’s existing PACS master lease. Initial annual contractual rent attributable to the facilities is $58.0 million, an increase of $26.1 million from the prior annual contractual rent on the portfolio. Annual contractual rent increases by an additional $2.5 million in year two, with 2% annual escalators thereafter through the lease’s January 31, 2038 maturity. The Company also paid Airamid a $90.0 million lease termination fee in connection with the transition, which was capitalized and will be amortized over the remaining term of the PACS lease.
Genesis – In October 2026, the Genesis Chapter 11 bankruptcy sale was finalized, resulting in the assumption and assignment of Omega’s master lease to affiliates of 101 W State Street Holdings, LLC (“NewGen”). In connection with the bankruptcy finalization, Omega received $149.5 million during October 2026 related to repayments of amounts outstanding under its DIP and term loans. During the third quarter of 2026, Omega recognized $13.3 million of rental income and $4.8 million of interest income related to Genesis.

BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY
As of September 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 and a $300.0 million term loan. As of September 30, 2026, total cash and cash equivalents were $195.9 million, and the Company had $2.0 billion in undrawn capacity under its unsecured revolving credit facility.
DIVIDENDS
On October 26, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.68 per share, to be paid November 16, 2026, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 5, 2026.
2026 GUIDANCE INCREASED
The Company’s expected 2026 Adjusted FFO range is $3.28 to $3.30 per diluted share compared to the previous range of $3.22 to $3.26 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.

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.S. and in other jurisdictions where we conduct business, including the U.K., including changes in immigration policy that may impact labor supply; (xiii) changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of inflation and changes in global tariffs and international trade disputes; (xiv) the timing, amount and yield of any additional investments; (xv) Omega’s ability to maintain its status as a REIT; (xvi) operational risks, including receipt of regulatory transaction approvals and management of regulatory requirements and operating expenses, associated with our investments in healthcare operating companies, including senior housing properties managed through structures authorized by the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (commonly referred to as “RIDEA”); (xvii) the use of, or inability to use, artificial intelligence by us or our operators, managers, vendors and investors; (xviii) the effect of other factors affecting our business or the businesses of Omega’s operators that are beyond Omega’s or operators’ control, including natural disasters, public health crises or pandemics, cyber threats and governmental action, particularly in the healthcare industry, and (xix) other factors identified in Omega’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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.
