PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OMEGA ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER 2018 FINANCIAL RESULTS

HUNT VALLEY, MARYLAND – February 11, 2019 – Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (NYSE:OHI) (the “Company” or “Omega”) today announced its results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The Company reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 net income of $64.9 million or $0.31 per common share. The Company also reported Funds From Operations (“FFO”) for the quarter of $124.5 million or $0.59 per common share, Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO” or “Adjusted FFO”) of $155.3 million or $0.73 per common share, and Funds Available For Distribution (“FAD”) of $138.2 million.

FFO for the fourth quarter of 2018 includes $27.2 million in impairments on direct financing leases related to the Orianna Health Systems (“Orianna” and f/k/a ARK) portfolio restructuring, $3.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, $1.1 million in one-time non-cash revenue, $0.4 million of merger related costs, $0.3 million in provisions for uncollectable accounts and $0.2 million of unrealized loss on warrants (Adjusted FFO excludes the aforementioned items). FFO, AFFO and FAD are non-GAAP financial measures. For more information regarding these non-GAAP measures, see the “Funds From Operations” schedule.

GAAP NET INCOME

For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company reported net income of $64.9 million, or $0.31 per common share, on operating revenues of $219.8 million. This compares to net income of $65.2 million, or $0.31 per common share, on operating revenues of $221.2 million, for the same period in 2017.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reported net income of $293.9 million, or $1.40 per common share, on operating revenues of $881.7 million. This compares to net income of $104.9 million, or $0.51 per common share, on operating revenues of $908.4 million, for the same period in 2017.

The increase in net income for 2018 compared to the prior year was primarily due to (i) $297.3 million of impairments on direct financing leases and real estate recorded in 2017 versus $57.0 million recorded in 2018, (ii) a $22.0 million decrease in interest refinancing costs and (iii) a $7.9 million decrease in provision for uncollectible accounts. The increase in net income was partially offset by (i) a $29.1 million reduction in gains on the sale of assets, (ii) a $26.7 million reduction in revenue, (iii) a $15.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses, (iv) a $10.4 million favorable contractual settlement recorded in the first quarter of 2017 and (v) $3.7 million in increased interest expense.

CEO COMMENTS

Taylor Pickett, Omega’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The fourth quarter presented the Company with unique challenges including higher than normal general and administrative expenses, primarily related to Orianna legal expenses, as well as underpayment of approximately $4 million of rent by one of our operators, Daybreak. As investors are aware, Daybreak’s rents are accounted for on a cash basis and so this rent shortfall immediately impacted our 4th quarter revenues. While Daybreak has implemented many favorable changes to their business, the operating environment in Texas remains challenging near-term, with low occupancy and one of the lowest Medicaid reimbursement rates in the country. We are working cooperatively with Daybreak by providing near-term liquidity relief via a $2.5 million rent deferral for each of the first and second quarters of 2019, which preserves Omega’s long-term economics from the lease.”

Mr. Pickett continued, “We look forward to 2019. With our asset repositioning and portfolio restructurings complete, we expect significantly lower general and administrative costs and look forward to completing the MedEquities acquisition. While the labor market remains challenging for our operators, we believe the Patient Driven Payment Model, starting in October, represents a sensible reimbursement model that should improve both patient outcomes and operator profitability. Further, we believe 2019 should see a return to the historical acquisition profile of the Company, which should drive growth in FFO as the year progresses.”

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Equity Shelf Program and Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan – During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company sold 1.7 million shares of its common stock, generating $59.4 million of gross proceeds. The following table outlines shares of the Company’s common stock issued under its Equity Shelf Program and its Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan in 2018:

2018 FOURTH QUARTER AND RECENT PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY

$98 Million of New Investments – In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company completed approximately $53 million of new investments and $45 million in capital renovations and new construction consisting of the following:

$8 Million Acquisition – On November 14, 2018, the Company acquired one skilled nursing facility (“SNF”) / assisted living facility (“ALF”) for $8.1 million from an unrelated third party. The Indiana facility with 70 SNF beds and 30 ALF beds was added to an existing operator’s master lease with an initial cash yield of 9.5% with 2.5% annual rent escalators.

$35 Million Acquisition – On November 30, 2018, the Company acquired three SNFs and one independent living facility (“ILF”) for $35.1 million from an unrelated third party. The four Pennsylvania facilities with 420 beds were added to an existing operator’s master lease with an initial cash yield of 9.5% with 2.5% annual rent escalators.

$9 Million Acquisition – On December 20, 2018, the Company acquired one SNF for $9.2 million from an unrelated third party. The Ohio facility with 126 SNF beds was added to an existing operator’s master lease with an initial cash yield of 9.5% with 2.5% annual rent escalators.

$45 Million Capital Renovation Projects – In addition to the new investments outlined above, in Q4 2018, the Company invested $45.2 million under its capital renovation and construction-in-progress programs.

Orianna – During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company transitioned one legacy Orianna facility to an existing Omega operator with annual contractual rent of $0.8 million. In 2018, the Company transitioned a total of 23 legacy Orianna facilities to five existing operators with combined annual contractual rents of $17.6 million.

During the fourth quarter, the Company signed an agreement to transition three of the legacy Orianna facilities to an existing Omega operator with annual contractual rents of $1.5 million. The license transfer is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2019.

On October 12, 2018, the Company sold a legacy Orianna facility to a third party operator for consideration of $4.0 million.

On January 11, 2019, 15 Orianna facilities were sold for $176 million of consideration, comprised of $146 million in cash (received by the estate trust) and a $30 million seller note held by the Company. The Company received $25 million to settle the debtor-in-possession revolving credit and term loan facility. The estate currently holds cash and accounts receivable which will be liquidated with the proceeds paying various estate expenses and the balance to be paid to the Company. In December 2018, the Company recorded a $27.2 million impairment charge related to the finalization of this transaction.

Mr. Pickett commented, “All of the Omega Orianna assets have now been transitioned or sold. The resulting annualized rent and rent equivalents of approximately $33 million are consistent with our previously stated range of $32 million to $38 million. The non-cash impairment charge of $27.2 million in the fourth quarter has no effect on our future cash flow run rate related to the former Orianna assets.”

MedEquities Merger – As previously announced, on January 2, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Omega will acquire all of the outstanding shares of MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE:MRT) (“MedEquities”). The transaction represents an enterprise value of approximately $600 million for MedEquities and further diversifies Omega’s assets and operators.

Under the terms of the agreement, MedEquities stockholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.235 Omega common shares plus $2.00 in cash for each share of MedEquities common stock held by them.

Earlier today the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with the proposed acquisition of MedEquities. The Company expects the transaction to be completed in the second quarter of 2019, subject to approval by MedEquities stockholders.

Asset Impairments and Dispositions – During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company sold 15 assets (nine previously classified as assets held for sale and one classified as a direct financing lease) for $67.3 million in cash, recognizing a gain of approximately $15.5 million. The Company recorded impairment charges on real estate properties of $3.2 million, primarily related to reducing the net book values on three facilities to their estimated fair values or expected selling prices. The Company recorded impairment charges on direct financing leases of $27.2 million related to the remaining Orianna portfolio that was sold in the first quarter of 2019.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had three facilities classified as assets held for sale totaling approximately $1.0 million. The Company expects to sell these facilities over the next few quarters.

DIVIDENDS

On January 15, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.66 per share, to be paid February 15, 2019 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 31, 2019.

Mr. Pickett commented, “As a result of the success of our asset repositioning program, the resolution of the Orianna portfolio, and the expected contribution from the pending acquisition of MedEquities, we currently anticipate maintaining our current quarterly dividend level for the next several quarters with the goal of increasing the dividend in the relatively near future.”

TAX TREATMENT FOR 2018 DIVIDENDS

On February 15, 2018, May 15, 2018, August 15, 2018 and November 15, 2018, the Company paid dividends to its common stockholders in the per share amounts of $0.66 for stockholders of record on January 31, 2018, April 30, 2018, July 31, 2018 and October 31, 2018, respectively. The Company has determined the tax treatment for the dividends as follows:

2019 ADJUSTED FFO GUIDANCE

The Company currently expects its 2019 Adjusted FFO to be between $3.00 and $3.12 per diluted share.

Bob Stephenson, Omega’s CFO commented, “Our 2019 guidance assumes that the MedEquities merger will be completed in the second quarter. It also reflects the revenue reduction related to our fourth quarter 2018 asset sales and a 2019 six month forbearance period where we will receive reduced rental payments from Daybreak.” Mr. Stephenson continued, “We expect to redeploy most of the cash proceeds from the Orianna transaction by mid-year; however, the timing is very unpredictable.” Mr. Stephenson concluded, “Subject to equity market conditions, we may decide to issue equity under our ATM to continue to de-lever, which may significantly impact our guidance and we have therefore expanded our guidance range versus previous years. Further, in order to provide additional clarity to our longer-term expected operating performance, we have included fourth quarter 2019 estimated guidance along with our annual guidance.”

The following table presents a reconciliation of Omega’s guidance regarding Adjusted FFO to projected GAAP earnings.

  Note: All per share numbers rounded to 2 decimals.

The Company's Adjusted FFO guidance for 2019 assumes the MedEquities merger is completed in the second quarter, $150 million of planned capital renovation projects with 2019 estimated in-service dates, and the sale of $1 million of assets held for sale. It assumes the Company will continue recording revenue related to Daybreak on a cash basis with reduced rent for the first six months of 2019. The Company expects to record approximately $5.2 million in rent in both Q1 and Q2 related to Daybreak (approximately a $2.5 million reduction per quarter). It also excludes the impact of gains and losses from the sale of assets, certain revenue and expense items, interest refinancing expense, capital transactions, acquisition costs, and additional provisions for uncollectible accounts, if any.

The Company's guidance is based on a number of assumptions, which are subject to change and many of which are outside the Company’s control. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the timing and completion of acquisitions, divestitures, capital and financing transactions, and variations in stock-based compensation expense may cause actual results to vary materially from our 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 Adjusted FFO guidance, but it is not obligated to do so.

Funds From Operations (“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 FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and consequently, 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. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. The Company believes that 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 FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue. FFO described herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO 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 FFO excluding the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation and certain revenue and expense items identified above. 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 are not comparable to the NAREIT definition of FFO 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 Adjusted FFO 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, FFO 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.
