TIMONIUM, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (NYSE:OHI) today announced its results of operations for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The Company also reported Funds From Operations ("FFO") available to common stockholders for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2007 of $23.7 million or $0.35 per common share and $93.5 million or $1.42 per common share, respectively. The $23.7 million of FFO available to common stockholders for the quarter includes $0.5 million of non-cash restricted stock expense, a $0.2 million reduction in the Company's non-cash provision for impairment, a $0.1 million provision for income taxes and $0.1 million of non-cash consolidation adjustments due to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46R").

Adjusted FFO was $0.35 per common share for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and $1.38 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. Adjusted FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the impact of certain non-cash items (including restricted stock expense, provision for impairments, changes in derivative fair values, gains on preferred stock and subordinated note investments, accretion investment income and provision for uncollectible accounts receivable), as well as restatement related expenses and provision for income taxes. For more information regarding FFO and adjusted FFO, see "Funds From Operations" section below.

GAAP NET INCOME

For the three-month period ended December 31, 2007, the Company reported net income of $17.3 million, net income available to common stockholders of $14.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share and operating revenues of $39.6 million.

As a result of entering into the closing agreement and the Company's previously announced 2006 Advocat restructuring agreement, the Company has been advised by tax counsel that it will not receive any non-qualified related party tenant income from Advocat in future fiscal years.

PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS

Haven Eldercare, LLC - On January 22, 2008, the Company completed a transaction with General Electric Capital Corporation to purchase an existing $39 million mortgage due October 2012 on seven Haven SNFs. The Company has an existing $23 million second mortgage on these seven facilities. The Company now has a $62 million combined mortgage on the seven facilities. The Company also has a purchase option on the seven facilities that would allow the Company to acquire the fee simple interest in the facilities. If the Company exercises the purchase option, the seven facilities would be combined with an existing eight facility master lease. The borrowers and guarantors under the mortgage, and the lessee, sublessees and guarantors in respect of the master lease are all debtors-in-possession in chapter 11 proceedings being jointly administered in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut, New Haven Division.

Alpha Health Care Properties, LLC - On January 17, 2008, the Company purchased one SNF for $5.2 million from an unrelated third party and leased the facility to Alpha Health Care Properties, LLC ("Alpha"), an existing tenant of the Company. The facility was added to Alpha's existing master lease and will generate an additional $0.5 million of annual rent.

Litchfield Investment Company, LLC - On July 31, 2007, the Company completed a transaction with Litchfield Investment Company, LLC and its affiliates to purchase five skilled nursing facilities for a total investment of approximately $40 million. The facilities total 645 beds and are located in Alabama (1), Georgia (2), Kentucky (1) and Tennessee (1). The Company also provided a $2.5 million loan in the form of a subordinated note as part of the transaction that was paid-off during the fourth quarter. Simultaneously with the closing of the purchase transaction, the five facilities were combined into an Amended and Restated Master Lease containing 13 other facilities between the Company and an existing operator, Home Quality Management. The Amended and Restated Master Lease was extended until July 31, 2017.

Advocat - The Company continuously evaluates the payment history and financial strength of its operators and has historically established an allowance for straight-line rent adjustments for operators that do not meet the Company's internal revenue requirements. The Company considers factors such as payment history, the operator's financial condition as well as current and future anticipated operating trends when evaluating whether to establish contra revenue reserves.

The Company has reviewed Advocat's financial statements annually and noted that since 2000 the opinion of Advocat's external auditors contained a "going concern" qualification. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company reviewed Advocat's 2006 annual report and noted that Advocat's auditor's opinion no longer contained a going concern qualification. In addition, the Company also reviewed Advocat's financial statements and noted significant improvements in its financial condition since 2000. As a result, the Company determined that it should reverse approximately $5.0 million of straight-line allowance previously established. The change in estimate resulted in an additional $0.08 per share of income from continuing operations and net income for the first quarter of 2007.

Asset Sales - During the third quarter of 2007, the Company agreed to restructure a five facility master lease with one of its existing tenants whereby the Company and tenant have agreed to sell three facilities and reduce the annual rent on the master lease by $0.4 million. On November 30, 2007, two of the facilities were sold for approximately $2.8 million in cash proceeds which generated an accounting gain of $0.4 million. In addition, the Company has recorded a $1.4 million provision for impairment on the third facility to reduce its carrying value to its estimated fair value. The third facility is currently under contract to be sold with an anticipated first quarter 2008 closing.

On December 22, 2006, Residential Care VIII, LLC, a subsidiary of American Senior Communities, LLC, notified the Company of its intent to exercise its option to purchase two facilities. The two facilities were classified on the Company's December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheet as assets held for sale with a net book value of approximately $1.9 million. On January 31, 2007, the Company received gross cash proceeds of approximately $3.6 million and recorded an accounting gain of approximately $1.7 million.

In two additional separate transactions during the first quarter of 2007, the Company sold two facilities for their approximate net book value, generating cash proceeds of approximately $0.8 million.

2007 FINANCING ACTIVITIES

7.130 Million Common Stock Offering - As previously announced, on April 3, 2007, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 7,130,000 shares of Omega common stock at $16.75 per share, less underwriting discounts. The sale included 930,000 shares sold in connection with the exercise of an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. The Company received approximately $113 million in net proceeds from the sale of the shares, after deducting underwriting discounts and before estimated offering expenses.

Increase in Credit Facility - Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Company's Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2006, as amended, (the "Credit Agreement"), the Company was permitted under certain circumstances to increase its available borrowing base under the Credit Agreement from $200 million up to an aggregate of $300 million. Effective February 22, 2007, the Company exercised its right to increase its available borrowing base under the Credit Agreement from $200 million to $255 million and the Company consented to add 18 of its properties to the borrowing base assets under the Credit Agreement.

At the date of this release, the Company had approximately 68.6 million outstanding common shares.

Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan - On October 16, 2007, the Company announced the reinstatement of the optional cash purchase component of the Plan, effective immediately for investments beginning November 15, 2007. The Company also announced that the per share purchase discount for both optional cash purchases and dividend reinvestments was reset to 1%.

2008 ADJUSTED FFO GUIDANCE

The Company currently expects its 2008 adjusted FFO to be between $1.41 and $1.43 per diluted share. The Company's adjusted FFO guidance for 2008 excludes the future impacts of acquisitions, gains and losses from the sale of assets, additional divestitures, certain revenue and expense items, capital transactions and restricted stock amortization expense. A reconciliation of the adjusted FFO guidance to the Company's projected GAAP earnings is provided on a schedule attached to this press release. The Company may, from time to time, update its publicly announced adjusted FFO guidance, but it is not obligated to do so.

The Company's adjusted FFO guidance is based on a number of assumptions, which are subject to change and many of which are outside the control of the Company. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its projected results.

Preferred D Dividends -The Company has determined that 100% of all dividends on Series D Preferred Stock in 2007 should be treated for tax purposes as an ordinary dividend.

(1) Includes amounts in discontinued operations

This press release includes Funds From Operations, or FFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. 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 excludes 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 statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the company, or includes 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 available to common stockholders, adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure 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 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.

In February 2004, NAREIT informed its member companies that it was adopting the position of the SEC with respect to asset impairment charges and would no longer recommend that impairment write-downs be excluded from FFO. In the tables included in this press release, the Company has applied this interpretation and has not excluded asset impairment charges in calculating its FFO. As a result, its FFO may not be comparable to similar measures reported in previous disclosures. According to NAREIT, there is inconsistency among NAREIT member companies as to the adoption of this interpretation of FFO. Therefore, a comparison of the Company's FFO results to another company's FFO results may not be meaningful.

The Company uses FFO as one of several criteria to measure the operating performance of its business. The Company further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization 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 this measure to assist the users of its financial statements in analyzing its performance; however, this is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net income or an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in the Company's securities should not rely on this measure as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

Adjusted FFO is calculated as FFO available to common stockholders less non-cash stock-based compensation and one-time revenue and expense items. The Company believes that adjusted FFO provides an enhanced measure of the operating performance of the Company's core portfolio as a REIT. The Company's computation of adjusted FFO is not comparable to the NAREIT definition of FFO or to similar measures reported by other REITs, but the Company believes it is an appropriate measure for this Company.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our guidance regarding 2008 FFO and Adjusted FFO to net income available to common stockholders:
