Risk or Challenges
Genesis Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: Genesis filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2025, which introduces risks related to the stability of rental income and the recovery of a $121 million term loan. Although Omega is providing debtor-in-possession financing and expects full rent payments during the bankruptcy process, the situation remains uncertain and could impact financial performance.
LaVie Bankruptcy Transition: LaVie exited bankruptcy in June 2025, and its lease was assigned to Avardis. While the lease terms remain unchanged, there is a risk of operational or financial instability during the transition period, which could affect rent payments.
Medicaid Funding Reductions: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) introduces reductions in federal Medicaid funding starting in 2028. Although skilled nursing was carved out, broader Medicaid cuts could lead states to reevaluate funding for all programs, potentially impacting Omega's operators.
Medicare Rate Cuts: A potential 4% cut in the 2026 Medicare rate due to the OBBBA's deficit increase could affect revenue streams, although the immediate impact is expected to be minimal due to portfolio composition and scheduled Medicare rate increases.
Foreign Currency Fluctuations: Revenue from U.K. operators is subject to foreign currency fluctuations, which could impact financial performance despite the use of derivative instruments to mitigate risks.
Regulatory and Staffing Mandates: While the OBBBA places a 10-year moratorium on staffing mandates, ongoing legal challenges and potential regulatory changes could create operational uncertainties for Omega's operators.

Key Q&A
Q:What does the investment pipeline look like today in terms of yields and U.S. senior housing opportunities?
A:The investment pipeline is strong, consisting of U.S. senior housing, U.S. SNFs, and care homes in the U.K. Yields are being pushed to 10% across all asset classes. There are no sales on the horizon except for strategic sales or purchase options related to old workouts.
Q:What is the expected rent trajectory for Maplewood, and when is it expected to return to full contract rent?
A:Maplewood paid $6.1 million in the most recent quarter, which is modeled on a go-forward basis. Occupancy in New York is 93%, and further improvements are expected. The rent trajectory is improving, but no specific timeline for returning to full contract rent was provided.
Q:What is the strategy on the balance sheet and potential changes in the second half of the year?
A:The strategy involves using equity as a strong currency to fund acquisitions and leveraging debt for debt transactions, which are leverage neutral. If the stock performs well, there may be a chance to use equity to fund future bonds or consider term loans to replace secured debt.
Q:What gives confidence in tenants with sub-1 EBITDAR coverage, and is there potential for improvement?
A:The tenant with 0.99% EBITDAR coverage is expected to improve and exit the sub-1 bucket next quarter. Other tenants at 0.85 and 0.87 have shown performance above coverage amounts in 2025. Overall, coverage is expected to grow based on April and May preliminary results.
Q:How is the Maplewood lease structured, and what is the potential upside in rents?
A:The lease is structured with a contractual rent of $69 million, but all cash flow generated by Maplewood will come to Omega for the foreseeable future, similar to a RIDEA structure. Maplewood is trending close to full contractual rent, with further improvements expected.
Q:Who are the competitors for investment opportunities, and has underwriting changed?
A:Competitors include REIT peers, private equity, and family offices. Underwriting standards have not changed and remain consistent, even with recent legislative changes.
Q:Why did occupancy tick up while coverage stayed flat, and what is the outlook for future coverage?
A:Trailing 12-month metrics can cause discrepancies between occupancy and coverage. Preliminary results for April and May indicate an upward trajectory, and overall coverage is expected to improve in the next quarter.
Q:What are the mechanics and processes related to potential Medicare cuts?
A:If there is an increase in the deficit, a cut of up to 4% for Medicare could occur. However, a 3.2% rate increase offsets this, and historically, Congress has eliminated such cuts. A decision is expected in a few months.
Q:What wage increases are operators passing along to employees, and are there differences between SNF and senior housing portfolios?
A:Wage increases are normal inflationary increases, unlike the post-COVID period. There are no significant differences between SNF and senior housing portfolios. CNAs remain challenging to hire due to minimum wage pressures.
Q:What is driving the guidance raise, and what internal changes are helping Omega identify opportunities?
A:Active portfolio management, aligning operators with suitable facilities, and exploring multiple structures to create incremental value are driving the guidance raise. Omega is focusing on risk mitigation and rent pickup opportunities.
Q:What is the status of PACS as an operator?
A:PACS is clinically strong with strong coverages, and there are no concerns from Omega's perspective.
Q:How is the Board considering a potential dividend increase?
A:The Board is considering a dividend increase when the payout ratio reaches around 85%. Currently, the payout ratio is at 90%, and a decision may be possible in the next 3-4 quarters.
Q:Why is there confidence in Genesis assets, and is there a risk of lease rejection?
A:Genesis assets are under a master lease, making lease rejection unlikely. The portfolio consists of highly desirable assets with strong coverage, and Omega has exited underperforming facilities.
Q:What is the split between unsolicited inbound deals and internal efforts for external growth?
A:Omega uses a mix of unsolicited inbound deals and internal efforts, including a corporate development team and data initiatives, to identify new transactions.
Q:How does Omega balance using new operators versus current operators for expansion?
A:Omega's pipeline includes both current and new operators. A corporate development team actively seeks new operators, and new relationships may also arise from workout situations.
Q:What types of senior housing transactions is Omega pursuing, and are traditional net lease deals still viable?
A:Omega is open to various structures, including RIDEA, but traditional triple-net deals are less appealing. The focus is on accretive growth with superior operators and fit-for-purpose assets.
Q:What are the best opportunities in the U.S. senior housing space, and how do senior housing metrics compare to SNFs?
A:Opportunities vary by asset type, including IL, CCRCs, and memory care. Senior housing metrics, including occupancy and coverage, are materially in line with SNFs, though margins are higher.
Q:What is the outlook for the U.K. care home market?
A:The U.K. care home market has significant consolidation potential with 17,000 care homes. While not the largest part of the pipeline, it remains an ongoing opportunity driven by current operators.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing specific timelines for Maplewood's return to full contract rent and did not detail the exact split between unsolicited inbound deals and internal efforts for external growth. Additionally, they used vague language regarding the potential for Medicare cuts and the exact structures for senior housing transactions, leaving some uncertainty about future strategies.
