CEO COMMENTS

​

Taylor Pickett, Omega’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “While we are pleased to announce strong second quarter results, the pandemic continues to evolve and therefore our primary focus remains helping our tenants wherever possible.  Our operators continue to perform admirably in the face of further growth in cases within many regions, as they seek to provide ongoing quality care to residents, while implementing prudent protocols to limit the exposure of facilities to the virus.  Both occupancy and facility costs have been meaningfully impacted by COVID-19 and, while we have seen a moderating deterioration of operating metrics, it is too soon to conclude that we have reached a floor in operator financial performance.  In the face of these challenges, the federal government and many states have been proactive in providing vital financial support to the industry.  Their efforts are saving lives and highlight the importance of protecting this vulnerable segment of our society.  The industry continues to work closely with the government to ensure further necessary access to testing, equipment and financial support.”

​

Mr. Pickett continued, “The government efforts highlight the important role skilled nursing facilities play within the healthcare continuum. Despite the current challenges, as the lowest cost post-acute provider within the healthcare sector, with its needs-based nature, constrained supply and growing demand, we believe the attractive elements of this asset class will remain intact once this pandemic has been resolved.”

​

Mr. Pickett concluded, “We would once again like to highlight the remarkable efforts of our operators and their heroic employees, who risk their own health and that of their families to bravely protect and care for their residents.  Although their efforts are too often overlooked, we are aware of the sacrifices they are making and want to thank them wholeheartedly for their endeavors.”

NET INCOME

​

For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company reported net income of $102.0 million, or $0.43 per common share, on revenues of $256.4 million.  This compares to net income of $75.7 million, or $0.34 per common share, on revenues of $225.3 million, for the same period in 2019.  

​

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company reported net income of $194.2 million, or $0.83 per common share, on revenues of $509.4 million.  This compares to net income of $147.9 million, or $0.68 per common share, on revenues of $449.0 million, for the same period in 2019.  

​

The year-to-date increase in net income was primarily due to (i) $60.5 million in revenue from incremental new investments, (ii) a $14.9 million increase in gains on the sale of assets, and (iii) a $4.2 million decrease in merger related costs.  The increase in net income was partially offset by (i) a $21.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense from new investments, (ii) a $9.1 million increase in interest expense, and (iii) and a $1.5 million increase in impairments on direct financing leases and real estate properties.

NAREIT Funds From Operations (“NAREIT FFO”), Adjusted FFO and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) are non-GAAP financial measures.  For purposes of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that exclude amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the income statement, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the company, or include amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable financial measure so calculated and presented.  As used in this press release, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  

Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, 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.  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 and merger related costs, provisions for uncollectible accounts, provisions for current expected credit losses, 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.
