EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10‑Q for the period ended March 31, 2019 of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. and OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership (“Omega OP”). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, (i) references to “Omega” or the “Company” means Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, (ii) references to “Parent” refer to Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. without regard to its consolidated subsidiaries, and (iii) references to “Omega OP” means OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Omega is a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Omega is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”) under which all of Omega’s assets are owned directly or indirectly by, and all of Omega’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly through, its operating partnership subsidiary, Omega OP.

Parent directly owned approximately 97% of the issued and outstanding partnership units in Omega OP (the “Omega OP Units”) at March 31, 2019. Each Omega OP Unit (other than those owned by Parent) is redeemable at the election of the holder for cash equal to the then-fair market value of one share of common stock of Parent, subject to Parent’s election to exchange the Omega OP Units tendered for redemption for common stock of the Parent on a one-for-one basis in an unregistered transaction, subject to adjustment as set forth in the partnership agreement. The management of Parent consists of the same members as the management of Omega OP.

The financial results of Omega OP are consolidated into the financial statements of Omega. Omega has no significant assets other than its investments in Omega OP. Omega and Omega OP are managed and operated as one entity. Omega OP has no significant assets other than its interests in non-guarantor subsidiaries.

We believe it is important for investors to understand the few differences between Omega and Omega OP in the context of how we operate as a consolidated company. Omega acts as the general partner of Omega OP. Net proceeds from equity issuances by Parent are contributed to Omega OP in exchange for additional partnership units. Parent and Omega OP incur indebtedness. The net proceeds of the Parent’s borrowings are loaned to Omega OP. The outstanding senior notes and certain other debt of Parent is guaranteed by Omega OP.

The presentation of debt and related interest, including amounts accrued, stockholders’ equity, owners’ equity and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of Omega and Omega OP. The differences between debt, stockholders’ equity and owners’ equity result from differences in the debt or equity issued at the Omega and Omega OP levels. With respect to owners’ equity, the units held by the partners in Omega OP other than the Parent are accounted for as owners’ equity in Omega OP’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in Omega’s financial statements. Although classified differently, total debt and equity of Omega and Omega OP are the same.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10‑Q of Omega and Omega OP into this single report results in the following benefits:

combined reports better reflect how management and the analyst community view the business as a single operating unit;

combined reports enhance investors’ understanding of Omega and Omega OP by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management;

combined reports are more efficient for Omega and Omega OP and result in savings in time, effort and expense; and

combined reports are more efficient for investors by reducing duplicative disclosure and providing a single document for their review.

In order to highlight the differences between Omega and Omega OP, the separate sections in this report for Omega and Omega OP specifically refer to Omega and Omega OP. In the sections that combine disclosure of Omega and Omega OP, this report refers to “we” and “us” actions or holdings as being “our” actions or holdings. Although Omega OP and its subsidiaries hold all of our assets, we believe that reference to “we,” “us” or “our” in this context is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and we operate substantially all of our business through Omega OP.

OMEGA HEALTHCARE INVESTORS, INC. AND OHI HEALTHCARE PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unaudited

March 31, 2019

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Overview and Organization

Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega”) was formed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and incorporated in the State of Maryland on March 31, 1992. Omega is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”) under which all of Omega’s assets are owned directly or indirectly by, and all of Omega’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly through, its operating partnership subsidiary, OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership (“Omega OP”). Omega OP was formed as a limited partnership and organized in the State of Delaware on October 24, 2014. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” means Omega and Omega OP, collectively.

The Company has one reportable segment consisting of investments in healthcare-related real estate properties located in the United States (“U.S.”) and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our core business is to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and, to a lesser extent, assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), independent living facilities and rehabilitation and acute care facilities. Our core portfolio consists of long-term leases and mortgage agreements. All of our leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. Our mortgage revenue derives from fixed rate mortgage loans, which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and personal property of the mortgagor. Our other investment income derives from fixed and variable rate loans, which are either unsecured or secured by the collateral of the borrower.

Omega OP is governed by the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, dated as of April 1, 2015 (the “Partnership Agreement”). Omega has exclusive control over Omega OP’s day-to-day management pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. As of March 31, 2019, Omega owned approximately 97% of the issued and outstanding units of partnership interest in Omega OP (“Omega OP Units”), and investors owned approximately 3% of the outstanding Omega OP Units.

On January 2, 2019, Omega and Omega OP entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 26, 2019, (the “Merger Agreement”) with MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc. (“MedEquities”) and its subsidiary operating partnership and the general partner of its subsidiary operating partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Omega will acquire MedEquities and MedEquities will be merged with and into Omega (the “Merger”) at the effective time of the Merger with Omega continuing as the surviving company. At the effective time, each outstanding share of MedEquities common stock will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.235 of a share of Omega common stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, and (ii) $2.00 in cash, without interest, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement under certain limited circumstances. As of March 31, 2019, the total consideration expected to be exchanged in the merger, including the assumption of debt, is approximately $600 million. The Merger Agreement also provides that MedEquities will declare a special dividend of $0.21 per share of MedEquities common stock (the “Pre-Closing Dividend”) payable to the holders of record of MedEquities common stock as of the trading day immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger, which dividend will be payable following the effective time of the Merger together with the cash consideration under the Merger Agreement.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10‑K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019.

Omega OP’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) Omega OP, (ii) all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Omega OP and (iii) other entities in which Omega OP has a majority voting interest and control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Variable Interest Entities

GAAP requires us to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. We may change our original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affects the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary.

Our variable interests in VIEs may be in the form of equity ownership, leases, guarantees and/or loans with our operators. We analyze our agreements and investments to determine whether our operators or unconsolidated joint venture are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary.

We consolidate a VIE when we determine that we are its primary beneficiary. We identify the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. Factors considered in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of an entity include: (i) our voting rights, if any; (ii) our involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions; (iii) our risk and reward sharing; (iv) the financial condition of the operator or joint venture and (iv) our representation on the VIE’s board of directors. We perform this analysis on an ongoing basis.

As of March 31, 2019, we have not consolidated any VIEs, as we do not have the power to direct the activities of any VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance and we do not have the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the VIEs that could be significant to the entity. See Note 6 – Variable Interest Entities.

Table of Contents

Real Estate Investments and Depreciation

The costs of significant improvements, renovations and replacements, including interest are capitalized. In addition, we capitalize leasehold improvements when certain criteria are met, including when we supervise construction and will own the improvement. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as they are incurred.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from 20 to 40 years for buildings, eight to 15 years for site improvements, and three to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold interests are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or term of the lease.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The majority of our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held at major commercial banks. Certain cash account balances exceed FDIC insurance limits of $250,000 per account and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts in excess of the insurance limits. We regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash, cash equivalents or restricted cash.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists primarily of liquidity deposits escrowed for tenant obligations required by us pursuant to certain contractual terms.

Real Estate Investment Impairment

Management evaluates our real estate investments for impairment indicators at each reporting period, including the evaluation of our assets’ useful lives. The judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based on factors such as, but not limited to, market conditions, operator performance including the current payment status of contractual obligations and expectations of the ability to meet future contractual obligations, legal structure, as well as our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. If indicators of impairment are present, management evaluates the carrying value of the related real estate investments in relation to management’s estimate of future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying facilities. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows are generally based on the related lease which relates to one or more properties and may include cash flows from the eventual disposition of the asset. In some instances, there may be various potential outcomes for a real estate investment and its potential future cash flows. In these instances, the undiscounted future cash flows used to assess the recoverability are probability-weighted based on management’s best estimates as of the date of evaluation. Provisions for impairment losses related to long-lived assets are recognized when expected future undiscounted cash flows based on our intended use of the property are determined to be less than the carrying values of the assets. An adjustment is made to the net carrying value of the real estate investments for the excess of carrying value over fair value. The fair value of the real estate investment is determined based on current market conditions and considers matters such as rental rates and occupancies for comparable properties, recent sales data for comparable properties, and, where applicable, contracts or the results of negotiations with purchasers or prospective purchasers. Additionally, our evaluation of fair value may consider valuing the property as a nursing home as well as alternative uses. All impairments are taken as a period cost at that time, and depreciation is adjusted going forward to reflect the new value assigned to the asset. Management’s impairment evaluation process, and when applicable, impairment calculations involve estimation of the future cash flows from management’s intended use of the property as well as the fair value of the property. Changes in the facts and circumstances that drive management’s assumptions may result in an impairment of the Company’s assets in a future period that could be material to the Company’s results of operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized approximately $4.9 million of impairment on real estate properties.

Table of Contents

Allowance for Losses on Mortgages, Other Investments and Direct Financing Leases

The allowances for losses on mortgage notes receivable, other investments and direct financing leases (collectively, our “loans”) are maintained at a level believed adequate to absorb potential losses. The determination of the allowances is based on a quarterly evaluation of these loans, including general economic conditions and estimated collectability of loan payments. We evaluate the collectability of our loans based on a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, delinquency status, financial strength of the borrower and guarantors, if applicable, and the value of the underlying collateral. If such factors indicate that there is greater risk of loan charge-offs, additional allowances or placement on non-accrual status may be required. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due as scheduled according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements. Consistent with this definition, all loans on non-accrual status may be deemed impaired. To the extent circumstances improve and the risk of collectability is diminished, we will return these loans to full accrual status. When management identifies potential loan impairment indicators, the loan is written down to the present value of the expected future cash flows. In cases where expected future cash flows are not readily determinable, the loan is written down to the fair value of the underlying collateral, if applicable. We may base our valuation on a loan’s observable market price, if any, or the fair value of collateral, net of sales costs, if the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the sale of the collateral.

We account for impaired loans using (a) the cost-recovery method, and/or (b) the cash basis method. We generally utilize the cost-recovery method for impaired loans for which impairment reserves were recorded. We utilize the cash basis method for impaired loans for which no impairment reserves were recorded because the net present value of the discounted cash flows expected under the loan and/or the underlying collateral supporting the loan were equal to or exceeded the book value of the loan. Under the cost-recovery method, we apply cash received against the outstanding loan balance prior to recording interest income. Under the cash basis method, we apply cash received to principal or interest income based on the terms of the agreement. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $4.9 million and $108.1 million, respectively, of reserves on our loans. For additional information see Note 3 – Direct Financing Leases and Note 4 – Mortgage Notes Receivable.

Goodwill Impairment

We assess goodwill for potential impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the reporting unit. In evaluating goodwill for impairment on an interim basis, we assess qualitative factors such as a significant decline in real estate valuations, current macroeconomic conditions, state of the equity and capital markets and our overall financial and operating performance or a significant decline in the value of our market capitalization, to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. On an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or on an interim basis if we conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we perform a two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential impairment and measure the amount of impairment we will recognize, if any.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests is the portion of equity not attributable to the respective reporting entity. We present the portion of any equity that we do not own in consolidated entities as noncontrolling interests and classify those interests as a component of total equity, separate from total stockholders’ equity, or owners’ equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We include net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in net income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As our ownership of a controlled subsidiary increases or decreases, any difference between the aggregate consideration paid to acquire the noncontrolling interests and our noncontrolling interest balance is recorded as a component of equity in additional paid-in capital, so long as we maintain a controlling ownership interest.

Table of Contents

The noncontrolling interest for Omega represents the outstanding Omega OP Units held by outside investors and interests in a consolidated real estate joint venture not fully owned by Omega.

The noncontrolling interest for Omega OP represents outside investors interests in a consolidated real estate joint venture not fully owned by Omega OP.

Foreign Operations

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our consolidated subsidiaries operating in the U.S. The functional currency for our consolidated subsidiaries operating in the U.K. is the British Pound (“GBP”). For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar (“USD”), we translate their financial statements into the USD. We translate assets and liabilities at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are included in Omega OP’s owners’ equity and Omega’s accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”), as a separate component of equity and a proportionate amount of gain or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests, if applicable.

We and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries may have intercompany and third-party debt that is not denominated in the entity’s functional currency. When the debt is remeasured against the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. The resulting adjustment is reflected in results of operations, unless it is intercompany debt that is deemed to be long-term in nature in which case the adjustments are included in Omega OP’s owners’ equity and Omega’s AOCL and a proportionate amount of gain or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests, if applicable.

Derivative Instruments

Cash flow hedges

During our normal course of business, we may use certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing interest rate and currency risk. To qualify for hedge accounting, derivative instruments used for risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk exposure that they are designed to hedge. In addition, at the inception of a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship, the underlying transaction or transactions, must be, and are expected to remain, probable of occurring in accordance with the Company’s related assertions. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives required to be bifurcated, as assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value which is determined using a market approach and Level 2 inputs. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated in hedging relationships or that do not meet the criteria of hedge accounting are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated in qualifying cash flow hedging relationships, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized in Omega OP’s owners’ equity and Omega’s AOCL as a separate component of equity and a proportionate amount of gain or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interest, if applicable. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes designating all derivatives that are part of a hedging relationship to specific forecasted transactions as well as recognized liabilities or assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also assess and document, both at inception of the hedging relationship and on a quarterly basis thereafter, whether the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting the designated risks associated with the respective hedged items. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective as a hedge, or that it is probable the underlying forecasted transaction will not occur, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively and record the appropriate adjustment to earnings based on the current fair value of the derivative. As a matter of policy, we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $1.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of qualifying cash flow hedges were recorded at fair value in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents

Net investment hedge

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the GBP against its functional currency, the USD, relating to its investments in healthcare-related real estate properties located in the U.K. The Company uses a nonderivative, GBP-denominated term loan to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the GBP-USD exchange rate. The foreign currency transaction gain or loss on the nonderivative hedging instrument that is designated and qualifies as a net investment hedge is reported in Omega OP’s owners’ equity and Omega’s AOCL in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contractual Receivables and Other Receivables and Lease Inducements

Contractual receivables relate to the amounts currently owed to us under the terms of our lease and loan agreements. Effective yield interest receivables relate to the difference between the interest income recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan agreement and the interest currently due to us according to the contractual agreement. Straight-line rent receivables relate to the difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and the amounts currently due to us according to the contractual agreement. Lease inducements result from value provided by us to the lessee, at the inception, modification, or renewal of the lease, and are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the non-cancellable lease term.

On a quarterly basis, and more frequently as appropriate, we review our receivables to determine their collectability. The determination of collectability of these assets requires significant judgment and is affected by several factors relating to the credit quality of our operators that we regularly monitor, including (i) payment history, (ii) the age of the contractual receivables, (iii) the current economic conditions and reimbursement environment, (iv) the ability of the tenant to perform under the terms of their lease and/or contractual loan agreements and (v) the value of the underlying collateral of the agreement, if any.

If we determine collectability of any of our operating lease receivables (i.e., contractual receivables or straight-line receivables) are at risk, we limit our rental income to the lesser of lease income on a straight-line basis plus variable rents when they become accruable or cash collected. Any amounts subsequently determined to be no longer probable of collection are written off to rental income.

For a loan recognized on an effective yield basis or a direct financing lease, we generally provide an allowance for effective interest or income from direct financing leases when certain conditions or indicators of adverse collectability are present. If these accounts receivable balances are subsequently deemed uncollectible, the receivable and allowance for doubtful account balance are written off.

A summary of our net receivables by type is as follows:

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). In 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, ASU 2018-10, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements and ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors. These standards are collectively referred to herein as Topic 842 and set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). Topic 842 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Topic 842 requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Topic 842 was adopted by us on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption, we applied the package of practical expedients that allowed us to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. Furthermore, we applied the optional transition method, which allowed us to initially apply Topic 842 at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of equity in the period of adoption, although we did not have an adjustment. Additionally, our leases met the criteria in Topic 842 to not separate non-lease components from the related lease component; therefore, the accounting for these leases remained largely unchanged from the previous standard. We have elected to exclude sales and other similar taxes from the measurement of lease revenue and expense and we have excluded those costs paid directly by lessees to third parties.

Upon adoption, we recorded total initial non-cash right of use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $11.1 million. We also began recording variable lease payments as rental income and real estate tax expense for those facilities’ property taxes that we pay directly and are reimbursed by our operators. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded $3.8 million of rental income and $3.8 million of real estate tax expense in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. We also began recording rental income and ground lease expense for those assets we lease and are reimbursed by our operators and/or are paid for directly by our operators. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded $0.2 million of rental income and $0.2 million of ground lease expense in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Lessee Disclosure

At the inception of the lease and over its term, we evaluate each lease to determine the proper lease classification. Certain of these leases provide us the contractual right to use and economically benefit from all of the space specified in the lease. Therefore, we have determined that they should be evaluated as lease arrangements.

As a lessee, the Company is party to ground and/or facility leases related to 11 SNFs and two offices which are classified as operating leases. Substantially all of our operating leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and are generally computed in one of three methods depending on the specific provisions of each lease as follows: (i) a specific annual increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 1.0% and 3.0%; (ii) an increase based on the change in pre-determined formulas from year to year (e.g., increases in the Consumer Price Index); or (iii) specific dollar increases over prior years. The initial terms of our ground leases range between 10 years and 100 years. Our office leases have initial terms of approximately 10 years. Certain leases have options to extend, terminate or purchase the asset and have been considered in our analysis of the lease term and the measurement of the

Table of Contents

right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The discount rate utilized in forming the basis of our right of use assets and lease liabilities approximates our cost of debt. We have not recognized a right of use asset and/or lease liability for leases with terms of 12 months or less and without an option to purchase the underlying asset.

On a monthly basis, we remeasure our lease liabilities at the present value of the future lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement. Rental expense from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We do not include in our measurement of our lease liability certain variable payments, including changes in an index until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred.

As a lessee, certain of our operating leases contain non-lease components, such as our proportionate share of common area expenses. We have determined that all of our operating leases qualify for the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components because (i) the lease components are operating leases and (ii) the timing and pattern of recognition of the non-lease components are the same as the lease components. We apply Topic 842, to the combined component. Lease expense derived from our operating leases is recorded in general and administrative in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Lessor Disclosures

At the inception of the lease and over its term, we evaluate each lease to determine the proper lease classification. Certain of these leases provide our operators the contractual right to use and economically benefit from all of the physical space specified in the lease, therefore we have determined that they should be evaluated as lease arrangements.

As lessor, our leased real estate properties, represented by 720 SNFs, 116 ALFs, 15 specialty facilities and one medical office building at March 31, 2019, are leased under provisions of single or master operating leases with initial terms typically ranging from 5 to 15 years, plus renewal options. See Note 2 – Properties and Investments. As of March 31, 2019, we have determined that all but two of our leases should be accounted for as operating leases. Two leases are accounted for as direct financing leases. See Note 3 – Direct Financing Leases. Under the terms of the leases, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties.

Substantially all of our operating leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and are generally computed in one of three methods depending on the specific provisions of each lease as follows: (i) a specific annual increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 2.0% and 3.0%; (ii) an increase based on the change in pre-determined formulas from year to year (e.g., increases in the Consumer Price Index); or (iii) specific dollar increases over prior years. Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term when we have determined that the collectibility of substantially all of the lease payments is probable. If we determine that it is not probable that substantially all of the lease payments will be collected, we account for the revenue under the lease on a cash basis. Changes in the assessment of probability are accounted for on a cumulative basis as if the lease had always been accounted for based on the current determination of the likelihood of collection potentially resulting in increased volatility of rental revenue. Some of our leases have options to extend, terminate or purchase the facilities, which are considered when determining the lease term. We do not include in our measurement of our lease receivables certain variable payments, including changes in an index until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred.

Certain of our operating leases require the operators to reimburse us for property taxes and other expenditures that are not considered components of the lease and therefore no consideration is allocated to them as they do not result in the transfer of a good or service to the operators. We have determined that all of our leases qualify for the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components because (i) the lease components are operating leases and (ii) the timing and pattern of recognition of the non-lease components are the same as the lease components. We apply Topic 842, to the combined component. Income derived from our leases is recorded in rental income in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Certain tenants are obligated to pay directly their obligations under their leases for real estate taxes, insurance and certain other expenses. These obligations, which have been assumed by the tenants under the terms of their respective leases, are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. To the extent any tenant responsible for these obligations under their respective lease defaults on its lease or if it is deemed probable that the tenant will fail to pay for such costs, we would record a liability for such obligation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016‑13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU 2016‑13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. ASU 2016-13 specifically excludes from its scope receivables arising from operating leases accounted for under Topic 842. We currently expect to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach. We continue to evaluate the impact of adopting ASU 2016‑13 on our consolidated financial statements.

Asset Acquisitions

In March 2019, we acquired one SNF located in Ohio with 99 beds via a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure from a mortgagee. The fair value of the SNF approximated the $11.9 million carrying value of the mortgage. We simultaneously leased the facility to an existing operator with an initial annual cash yield of 12%. We recorded approximately $11.9 million of real estate investment consisting of land ($1.1 million), building ($10.1 million) and furniture and fixtures ($0.7 million).

In February 2019, we entered into a joint venture to construct a 100,000 square foot medical office building in Lakeway, Texas with an estimated initial construction budget of approximately $36 million. The Company owns 90% of the venture with the remaining 10% owned by outside investors. During the first quarter of 2019, this consolidated joint venture acquired a parcel of land for approximately $3.6 million.

Former Orianna Direct Financing Lease

On November 27, 2013, we closed an aggregate $529 million purchase/leaseback transaction in connection with the acquisition of Ark Holding Company, Inc. (“Ark Holding”) by 4 West Holdings Inc. At closing, we acquired 55 SNFs and 1 ALF operated by Ark Holding and leased the facilities back to Ark Holding, now known as New Ark Investment Inc. (“New Ark” which does business as “Orianna Health Systems” and is herein referred to as “Orianna”), pursuant to four 50-year master leases providing for contractual rental payments yielding 10.6% per annum over the term of the leases. The purchase/leaseback transaction was accounted for as a direct financing lease.

In March 2018, Orianna commenced voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). As of December 31, 2018, we had 15 SNFs subject to a direct financing lease with Orianna with a carrying value of approximately $120.5 million, net of an allowance of $103.2 million.

On January 11, 2019, pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court order, affiliates of Orianna purchased the remaining 15 SNFs for $176 million of consideration, comprised of $146 million in cash received by Orianna and a $30.0 million seller note held by the Company. The $30.0 million note bears interest at 6% per annum and matures on January 11, 2026. Interest on the unpaid principal balance is due quarterly in arrears. Commencing on January 11, 2022, quarterly principal payments are due based on a 15-year amortization schedule on the then outstanding principal balance of the loan. On the same date, Orianna repaid the debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing, including all related interest. See Note 5 – Other Investments.

On January 16, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed Orianna’s plan, creating a Distribution Trust (the “Trust”) to distribute the proceeds from Orianna’s sale of the remaining 15 SNFs, as well as the Trust’s collections of Orianna’s accounts receivable portfolio. In January 2019, we reclassified our net investment in direct financing lease of $115.8 million from the Trust to other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the period from January 16, 2019 through March 31, 2019, we received approximately $87 million from the Trust as a partial liquidation.

In March 2019, we received updated information from the Trust indicating diminished collectability of the accounts receivable owed to us. As a result, we recorded an additional $7.7 million allowance, reducing our remaining receivable from the Trust to approximately $21.1 million as of March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, the Trust was comprised of $26.4 million of cash and accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance, of $6.0 million. We expect that the aggregate of such amounts will be used to pay estimated costs of $11.3 million to other creditors and to wind down the Trust, with the remainder paid to us. The amount payable to us is contingent upon the collection of the accounts receivable balances and the estimated costs to wind down the Trust. These amounts are estimated and remain subject to change. Such changes could be different than the currently estimated amounts and such differences could have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE

As of March 31, 2019, mortgage notes receivable relate to five fixed rate mortgage notes on 53 long-term care facilities. The mortgage notes are secured by first mortgage liens on the borrowers’ underlying real estate and personal property. The mortgage notes receivable relate to facilities located in six states that are operated by five independent healthcare operating companies. We monitor compliance with mortgages and when necessary have initiated collection, foreclosure and other proceedings with respect to certain outstanding mortgage notes.

Mortgage interest income is recognized as earned over the terms of the related mortgage notes, typically using the effective yield method. Allowances are provided against earned revenues from mortgage interest when collection of amounts due becomes questionable or when negotiations for restructurings of troubled operators lead to lower expectations regarding ultimate collection. When collection is uncertain, mortgage interest income on impaired mortgage loans is recognized as received after taking into account the application of security deposits.

The principal amounts outstanding of mortgage notes receivable, net of allowances, were as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2019		2018

Other investment notes due 2018-2022

In March 2018, we agreed to provide senior secured superpriority DIP financing to Orianna consisting of a $14.2 million term loan and a $15.8 million revolving credit facility. The DIP financing was secured by a security interest in and liens on substantially all of Orianna’s existing and future real and personal property. The $14.2 million term loan bore interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 5.5% per annum and matured on September 30, 2018. The $15.8 million revolving credit facility bore interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 9.0% per annum and matured on September 30, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, approximately $14.2 million was outstanding on this term loan and $10.8 million was outstanding on this revolving credit facility. In January 2019, Orianna repaid the DIP financing and permanently terminated our commitment under the DIP.

In May 2017, we provided Orianna an $18.8 million maximum borrowing secured revolving working capital loan that bore interest at 9% per annum (with one-half (1/2) of all accrued interest to be paid-in-kind and added to the loan balance) and was to mature on April 30, 2022. This revolving working capital loan bore a default rate of 5% per annum. As of December 31, 2018, approximately $15.2 million was outstanding on this revolving working capital loan. In January 2019, Orianna settled this secured revolving working capital loan.

NOTE 7 – INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE

On November 1, 2016, we invested approximately $50.0 million for an approximate 15% ownership interest in a joint venture operating as Second Spring Healthcare Investments. The other approximate 85% interest is owned by affiliates of Lindsey Goldberg LLC. We account for our investment in the joint venture using the equity method. On November 1, 2016, the joint venture acquired 64 SNFs for approximately $1.1 billion and leased them to Genesis Healthcare, Inc. (“Genesis”). As of March 31, 2019, the joint venture has 51 SNFs subject to an operating lease with Genesis.

We receive asset management fees from the joint venture for services provided. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recognized $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of asset management fees. These fees are included in miscellaneous income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The accounting policies for the unconsolidated joint venture are the same as those of the Company.

NOTE 12 – TAXES

Omega is a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes, and Omega OP is a pass through entity for United States federal income tax purposes.

Since our inception, Omega has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”). A REIT is generally not subject to federal income tax on that portion of its REIT taxable income which is distributed to its stockholders, provided that at least 90% of such taxable income is distributed each tax year and certain other requirements are met, including asset and income tests. So long as we qualify as a REIT under the Code, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on the REIT taxable income that we distribute to stockholders, subject to certain exceptions.

If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and dividends paid to our stockholders will not be deductible by us in computing taxable income. Further, we would not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which qualification is denied, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Failing to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely affect the Company’s net income; however, we believe we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT. We test our compliance within the REIT taxation rules to ensure that we are in compliance with the REIT rules on a quarterly and annual basis. We review our distributions and projected distributions each year to ensure we

Table of Contents

have met and will continue to meet the annual REIT distribution requirements. In 2019, we expect to pay dividends in excess of our taxable income.

Subject to the limitation under the REIT asset test rules, we are permitted to own up to 100% of the stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). We have elected for two of our active subsidiaries to be treated as TRSs. One of our TRSs is subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates and the other is subject to foreign income taxes. As of March 31, 2019, our TRS that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $5.7 million. The loss carry-forward is fully reserved as of March 31, 2019, with a valuation allowance due to uncertainties regarding realization. Our net operating loss carryforwards will be carried forward for no more than 20 years, subject to certain limitations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of state and local income tax provisions. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of tax provisions for foreign income taxes. The expenses were included in income tax expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 13 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation expense was $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Time Based Restricted Equity Awards

Time-based restricted equity awards include restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and profit interest units. These awards are subject to forfeiture if the holder’s service to us terminates prior to vesting, subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of service or a change in control of the Company. Prior to vesting, ownership of the shares/units cannot be transferred. Restricted stock has the same dividend and voting rights as our common stock. RSUs accrue dividend equivalents but have no voting rights. Profit interest units accrue distributions, which are equivalent to dividend equivalents, but have no voting rights. Once vested, each RSU is convertible into one share of Omega common stock and each profit interest unit is convertible into one partnership unit in Omega OP (“Omega OP Unit”), subject to certain conditions. Restricted stock and RSUs are valued at the price of our common stock on the date of grant. The profit interest units are valued using a Monte Carlo model to estimate the fair value. We expense the cost of these awards ratably over their vesting period. We awarded 34,672 RSUs and 91,992 profit interest units to employees on January 1, 2019.

Performance-Based Restricted Equity Awards

Performance-based restricted equity awards include performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and profit interest units. Performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and profit interest units are subject to forfeiture if the performance requirements are not achieved or if the holder’s service to us terminates prior to vesting, subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company. The PRSUs and the profit interest units have varying degrees of performance requirements to achieve vesting, and each PRSU and profit interest unit award represents the right to a variable number of shares of common stock or partnership units. Each profit interest unit once earned and vested is convertible into one Omega OP Unit in Omega OP, subject to certain conditions. The vesting requirements are based on either the (i) total shareholder return (“TSR”) of Omega or (ii) Omega’s TSR relative to other real estate investment trusts in the FTSE NAREIT Equity Health Care Index. Vesting, in general, requires that the employee remain employed by us until the date specified in the applicable PRSU or profit interest unit agreement, which may be later than the date that the TSR or Relative TSR requirements are satisfied. We expense the cost of these awards ratably over their service period.

Prior to vesting and the distribution of shares or profit interest units, ownership of the PRSUs or profit interest units cannot be transferred. Dividends on the PRSUs are accrued and only paid to the extent the applicable performance requirements are met. While each profit interest unit is unearned, the employee receives a partnership distribution equal

Table of Contents

to 10% of the quarterly approved regular periodic distributions per Omega OP Unit. The remaining partnership distributions (which in the case of normal periodic distributions is equal to the total approved quarterly dividend on Omega’s common stock) on the profit interest unit accumulate, and if the profit interest unit is earned, the accumulated distributions are paid.

The number of shares or units earned under the TSR PRSUs or profit interest units depends generally on the level of achievement of Omega’s TSR over the indicated performance period. We awarded 133,887 TSR PRSUs and 377,766 TSR profit interest units to employees on January 1, 2019.

The number of shares or units earned under the Relative TSR PRSUs or profit interest units depends generally on the level of achievement of Omega’s TSR relative to other real estate investment trusts in the FTSE NAREIT Equity Health Care Index TSR over the performance period indicated. We awarded 79,844 Relative TSR PRSUs and 231,087 Relative TSR profit interest units to employees on January 1, 2019.

This amount represents a borrowing that was incurred by Omega OP.

Fair value estimates are subjective in nature and are dependent on a number of important assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows, risks, discount rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument (see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018). The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

Direct financing leases: The fair value of the investments in direct financing leases are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar leases to borrowers with similar credit ratings (Level 3). For the Orianna direct financing lease as of December 31, 2018, the Company estimated the fair value of its investment based on the expected liquidating payments from the Trust as further described in Note 3 – Direct Financing Leases (Level 3).

Mortgage notes receivable: The fair value of the mortgage notes receivables are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings (Level 3).

Table of Contents

Other investments: Other investments are primarily comprised of notes receivable. The fair values of notes receivable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings (Level 3).

Revolving line of credit, secured borrowing and term loans: The fair value of our borrowings under variable rate agreements are estimated using a present value technique based on expected cash flows discounted using the current market rates (Level 3).

Senior notes and subordinated debt: The fair value of our borrowings under fixed rate agreements are estimated using a present value technique based on inputs from trading activity provided by a third-party (Level 2).

NOTE 16 – CONTINGENCIES, INDEMNITIES AND COMMITMENTS

Litigation

On November 16, 2017, a purported securities class action complaint captioned Dror Gronich v. Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc., C. Taylor Pickett, Robert O. Stephenson, and Daniel J. Booth was filed against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”), Case No. 1:17‑cv‑08983‑NRB. On November 17, 2017, a second purported securities class action complaint captioned Steve Klein v. Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc., C. Taylor Pickett, Robert O. Stephenson, and Daniel J. Booth was filed against the Company and the same officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Case No. 1:17‑cv‑09024‑NRB. Thereafter, the Court considered a series of applications by various shareholders to be named lead plaintiff, consolidated the two actions and designated Royce Setzer as the lead plaintiff.

Pursuant to a Scheduling Order entered by the Court, lead plaintiff Setzer and additional plaintiff Earl Holtzman filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint on May 25, 2018 (the “Securities Class Action”). The Securities Class Action purports to be a class action brought on behalf of shareholders who acquired the Company’s securities between May 3, 2017 and October 31, 2017. The Securities Class Action alleges that the defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by making materially false and/or misleading statements, and by failing to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, including the financial and operating results of one of the Company’s operators, the ability of such operator to make timely rent payments, and the impairment of certain of the Company’s leases and the uncollectibility of certain receivables. The Securities Class Action, which purports to assert claims for violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as well as Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, seeks an unspecified amount of monetary damages, interest, fees and expenses of attorneys and experts, and other relief. The Company and the officers named in the Securities Class Action filed a Motion to Dismiss on July 17, 2018 and the Court heard Oral Argument on February 13, 2019. On March 25, 2019, the Court entered an order dismissing with prejudice all claims against all defendants. On April 22, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, notifying the Court that they are appealing the Court’s order of dismissal with prejudice to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On May 6, 2019, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals filed a Notice of Expedited Appeal and set a briefing schedule. Appellants’ brief is due on June 10, 2019 and the Company’s brief is due on July 15, 2019.

The Board of Directors received a demand letter, dated April 9, 2018, from an attorney representing Phillip Swan (“Swan”), a purported current shareholder of the Company, relating to the subject matter covered by the Securities Class Action (the “Swan Shareholder Demand”). The letter demanded that the Board of Directors conduct an investigation into the statements and other matters at issue in the Securities Class Action and commence legal proceedings against each party identified as being responsible for the alleged activities. After an investigation and due consideration, and in the exercise of its business judgment, the Board determined that it is not in the best interests of the Company to commence litigation against any current or former officers or directors based on the matters raised in the Swan Shareholder Demand. In November 2018, the Board also received shareholder demands from two additional purported shareholders, Tom Bradley (“Bradley”) and Sarah Smith (“Smith”), each represented by the same counsel as

Table of Contents

Swan, that were substantively identical to the Shareholder Demand (the “Bradley/Smith Shareholder Demands”). The Board reached the same conclusion with respect to those demands as it reached with the Swan Shareholder Demand.

On August 22, 2018, Stourbridge Investments LLC, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Company in the Court against the current directors of the Company as well as certain officers alleging violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and state-law claims including breach of fiduciary duty. Stourbridge Investments LLC v. Callen et al., No. 1:18-cv-07638. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants are responsible for the Company’s failure to disclose the financial condition of Orianna Health Systems, the alleged non-disclosures that are also the subject of the Securities Class Action described above. The defendants in the action are the three individual defendants named in the Securities Class Action (Messrs. Pickett, Booth and Stephenson), as well as the Company’s non-management directors. The plaintiff did not make a demand on the Company to bring the action prior to filing it, but rather alleges that demand would have been futile. The parties have entered into a stipulation in which they agreed to stay the case, including any response by defendants, pending the entry of judgment or a voluntary dismissal with prejudice in the Securities Class Action. The agreed-upon stipulation and order to stay the case were entered by the Court on October 25, 2018. In addition, on January 30, 2019, Swan filed a derivative action in the Baltimore City Circuit Court of Maryland, purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain current and former directors of the Company as well as certain officers, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. Swan v. Pickett, et al., No. 24-C-19-000573. Swan alleges that the Swan Shareholder Demand was wrongfully refused. On February 21, 2019, Bradley and Smith filed a derivative action in the Baltimore City Circuit Court of Maryland, purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain current and former directors of the Company as well as certain officers, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and unjust enrichment. Bradley and Smith v. Callen, et al., No. 24-c-19-000972. Bradley and Smith allege that the Bradley/Smith Shareholder Demands were wrongly refused. No response date for the defendants has yet come due.

Separately, four lawsuits have been filed by purported stockholders of MedEquities against MedEquities and its directors challenging the proposed merger between MedEquities and the Company. Two of the lawsuits also name the Company as a defendant.

On February 21, 2019, a purported stockholder of MedEquities filed a lawsuit against MedEquities, members of the MedEquities board of directors, and the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. Brekka v. MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc., et al., Case 1:19-cv-00535-JKB. The complaint alleges, among other things, that MedEquities, members of the MedEquities’ Board, and the Company violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act by making materially incomplete and misleading statements in, and/or omitting certain information that is material to stockholders from, the Registration Statement on Form S-4, as filed with the SEC on February 11, 2019 (the “Form S-4”), relating to the merger. The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction preventing the consummation of the merger and, in the event the merger is consummated, rescission of the merger or damages, plus attorneys’ fees and costs.

On February 22, 2019, another purported stockholder of MedEquities filed a derivative and class action lawsuit against MedEquities, members of the MedEquities board of directors, and the Company in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland. Scarantino v. McRoberts et al., Case No. 24-c-19-001027. The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties by the MedEquities’ board of directors in connection with its approval of the merger and the omission from the Form S-4 of certain information that is material to stockholders. The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction preventing the consummation of the merger and, in the event the merger is consummated, rescission of the merger or damages, plus attorneys’ fees and costs.

On March 17, 2019, a purported stockholder of MedEquities filed a class action lawsuit against MedEquities and members of the MedEquities board of directors in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. Bushansky v. MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc., et al., Case 3:19-cv-00231. The complaint alleges, among other things, that MedEquities and its directors violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act by making materially incomplete and misleading statements in, and/or omitting certain information that is material to stockholders from, the Combined Proxy Statement and Form S-4, relating to the merger. The complaint seeks, among other things, an

injunction preventing the consummation of the merger and, in the event the merger is consummated, rescission of the merger or damages, plus attorneys’ fees and costs.

On March 29, 2019, a purported stockholder of MedEquities filed a class action lawsuit against MedEquities and members of the MedEquities board of directors in the Circuit Court of Maryland, Baltimore City, Maryland alleging, among other things, that MedEquities and members of the MedEquities board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by: (i) failing to fulfill their fiduciary oversight function; (ii) authorizing the filing of a materially incomplete and misleading proxy statement/prospectus; and (iii) authorizing in the company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws the enactment of an exclusive venue designation whereby the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland is the sole and exclusive forum for certain litigation against the company, or if that court does not have jurisdiction, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division (the “Exclusive Venue Bylaw”). Russell v. MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc., et al., Case No. C-03-CV-19-000721. The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction preventing the special meeting of MedEquities stockholders to vote on the transaction and, in the event the transaction is implemented, rescission of the transaction or damages, a declaration that the Exclusive Venue Bylaw is invalid, an injunction preventing the enforcement of the Exclusive Venue Bylaw, and attorneys’ fees and costs.

The Company believes that the claims asserted against it in these lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.

In addition, we are subject to various other legal proceedings, claims and other actions arising out of the normal course of business. While any legal proceeding or claim has an element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of each lawsuit, claim or legal proceeding that is pending or threatened, or all of them combined, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Indemnities

In connection with certain facility transitions, we provided certain operators with indemnities. As of March 31, 2019, our maximum funding commitment under these indemnities approximates $16.7 million. Claims against these indemnities must occur within 18 months to 72 months of the transition date. These indemnities were provided to these operators upon transition and would be utilized in the event that the prior operators do not perform under their transition agreements. The Company does not expect to fund a material amount under these indemnity agreements.

Commitments

We have committed to fund the construction of new leased and mortgaged facilities and other capital improvements. We expect the funding of these commitments to be completed over the next several years. Our remaining commitments at March 31, 2019, are outlined in the table below (in thousands):

NOTE 17 – EARNINGS PER SHARE/UNIT

The computation of basic earnings per share/unit (“EPS” or “EPU”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders/Omega OP Unit holders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock/Omega OP Units outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted EPS/EPU is computed using the treasury stock method, which is net income divided by the total weighted-average number of common outstanding shares/Omega OP Units plus the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares/units during the respective period. Dilutive common

our ability to maintain our status as a REIT.

Overview

Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega”) was formed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and incorporated in the State of Maryland on March 31, 1992. All of Omega’s assets are owned directly or indirectly by, and all of Omega’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly through, its subsidiary, OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership (“Omega OP”). Omega OP was formed as a limited partnership and organized in the State of Delaware on October 24, 2014. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” means Omega and Omega OP, collectively.

agreements. All of our leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the operators (we use the term “operators” to refer to our tenants and mortgagors and their affiliates who manage and/or operate our properties) to pay all property-related expenses. Our mortgage revenue derives from fixed rate mortgage loans, which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and personal property of the mortgagor. Our other investment income derives from fixed and variable rate loans, which are either unsecured or secured by the collateral of the borrower.

Our portfolio of real estate investments at March 31, 2019, consisted of 910 healthcare facilities, located in 41 states and the U.K. and operated by 68 third-party operators. Our investment in these facilities, net of impairments and allowances, totaled approximately $8.5 billion at March 31, 2019, with approximately 99% of our real estate investments related to long-term care facilities. Our portfolio is made up of: (i) 722 SNFs, (ii) 116 ALFs, (iii) 15 specialty facilities, (iv) one medical office building, (v) fixed rate mortgages on 50 SNFs and three ALFs and (vi) three facilities that are closed/held for sale. At March 31, 2019, we also held other investments of approximately $474.1 million, consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our facilities and a $29.9 million investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we do not have any material properties or operators with facilities that are not materially occupied.

Omega’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) Omega, (ii) Omega OP, (iii) all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Omega and (iv) other entities in which Omega or Omega OP has a majority voting interest and control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation, and Omega’s net earnings are reduced by the portion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. Omega OP’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) Omega OP, (ii) all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Omega OP and (iii) other entities in which Omega OP has a majority voting interest and control. Omega OP’s net earnings are reduced by the portion of net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Taxation

have met and will continue to meet the annual REIT distribution requirements. In 2019, we expect to pay dividends in excess of our taxable income.

Government Regulation and Reimbursement

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated. Our operators are subject to extensive and complex federal, state and local healthcare laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are subject to frequent and substantial changes resulting from the adoption of new legislation, rules and regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations of existing law. The ultimate timing or effect of these changes, which may be applied retroactively, cannot be predicted. Changes in laws and regulations impacting our operators, in addition to regulatory non-compliance by our operators, can have a significant effect on the operations and financial condition of our operators, which in turn may adversely impact us. There is the potential that we may be subject directly to healthcare laws and regulations because of the broad nature of some of these regulations, such as the Anti-kickback Statute and False Claims Act, among others. The following is a discussion of certain laws and regulations generally applicable to our operators, and in certain cases, to us.

Healthcare Reform. A substantial amount of rules and regulations have been issued under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively referred to as the “Healthcare Reform Law”). The Trump administration has brought several Congressional efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. We expect additional rules, regulations and judicial interpretations in response to legal and other constitutional challenges to be issued that may materially affect our operators’ financial condition and operations. Even if the Healthcare Reform Law is not ultimately amended or repealed, the Trump administration could propose changes impacting implementation of the Healthcare Reform Law. The ultimate composition and timing of any legislation enacted under the Trump administration that would impact the current implementation of the Healthcare Reform Law remains uncertain. Given the complexity of the Healthcare Reform Law and the substantial requirements for regulation thereunder, the impact of the Healthcare Reform Law on our operators or their ability to meet their obligations to us cannot be predicted, whether in its current form or as amended or repealed.

Reform Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities. On October 4, 2016, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a final rule modifying the conditions of participation in Medicare and Medicaid for SNFs. CMS stated that the regulations, last updated in 1991, were “necessary to reflect the substantial advances that had been made over the past several years in the theory and practice of service delivery and safety” within long-term care. The extensive modifications require SNFs to implement new processes; make changes to current practices; and create new policies and procedures within a short timeframe to remain in compliance with their conditions for participation. Changes include provisions related to staff training, discharge planning, infection prevention and control programs, and pharmacy services, among others. While many of the regulations became effective on November 28, 2016, some of the regulations became effective in Phase 2 on November 28, 2017, with others becoming effective in Phase 3, beginning on November 28, 2019. CMS initially delayed for eighteen months the imposition of any fines for failure to implement Phase 2 of the new “Requirements of Participation” implemented in November 2017. However, CMS advised in March 2019 that the moratorium on financial penalties will expire in May 2019, as previously indicated. CMS estimated the average cost for a SNF to implement the 2016 regulations to be $62,900 the first year and $55,000 each year thereafter.

Reimbursement Generally. A significant portion of our operators’ revenue is derived from government-funded reimbursement programs, consisting primarily of Medicare and Medicaid. As federal and state governments continue to focus on healthcare reform initiatives, and as the federal government and many states face significant current and future budget deficits, efforts to reduce costs by government payors will likely continue, which may result in reductions in reimbursement at both the federal and state levels. Additionally, new and evolving payor and provider programs, including but not limited to Medicare Advantage, dual eligible, accountable care organizations, and bundled payments could adversely impact our tenants’ and operators’ liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. Significant limits on the scope of services reimbursed and/or reductions of reimbursement rates could have a material adverse effect on our operators’ results of operations and financial condition, which could adversely affect our operators’ ability to meet their obligations to us.

Medicaid. State budgetary concerns, coupled with the implementation of rules under the Healthcare Reform Law, or prospective changes to the Healthcare Reform Law under the Trump administration, may result in significant changes in healthcare spending at the state level. Many states are currently focusing on the reduction of expenditures under their state Medicaid programs, which may result in a reduction in reimbursement rates for our operators. Since our operators’ profit margins on Medicaid patients are generally relatively low, more than modest reductions in Medicaid reimbursement or an increase in the number of Medicaid patients could adversely affect our operators’ results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could negatively impact us.

The Healthcare Reform Law provided for Medicaid coverage to be expanded to all individuals under age 65 with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level, beginning January 1, 2014. While the federal government committed to paying the entire cost for Medicaid coverage for newly eligible beneficiaries from 2014 through 2016, the federal share declines to 95% in 2017, 94% in 2018, 93% in 2019, and 90% in 2020 and subsequent years. Although the Supreme Court ruled on June 28, 2012 that states could not be required to expand Medicaid or risk losing federal funding of their existing Medicaid programs, as of March 31, 2019, thirty-seven (37) states including the District of Columbia have expanded Medicaid eligibility with additional states continuing to consider expansion.

Medicare. On July 31, 2018, CMS issued a final rule regarding the fiscal year (“FY”) 2019 Medicare payment rates and quality payment programs for SNFs, which continues the trend of shifting Medicare payments from volume to value. Proposed aggregate payments to SNFs, which became effective October 1, 2018 for FY 2019, are expected to increase by $820 million over FY 2017 payments. This reimbursement increase is attributable to a 2.4% market basket increase as required under the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. As mandated by the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (“IMPACT Act”), the annual update is reduced by two percentage points for SNFs that fail to submit required quality data to CMS under the SNF Quality Reporting Program (“QRP”).

Payments to providers are being increasingly tied to quality and efficiency. CMS finalized the previously proposed rule to replace the SNF PPS RUG-IV case-mix classification methodology with a new value-based Patient Driven Payment Model (“PDPM”). The PDPM is designed to improve the incentives to treat the needs of the whole patient, rather on the volume of services the patient receives. The PDPM will be effective October 1, 2019 (FY 2020) to allow time for education and training of SNFs in preparation for the new payment model.

These prospective reimbursement changes as well as the value-based purchasing programs applicable to SNFs under the 2014 Protecting Access to Medicare Act, which became effective on October 1, 2018, could have a material adverse effect on our operators’ financial condition and operations, adversely impacting their ability to meet their obligations to us.

In addition to Medicare payment rates, SNFs continue to be impacted by the “Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018,” which extended Medicare sequestration and Medicare reimbursement cuts to providers and plans by 2% across the board, for an additional two years through 2027.

Furthermore, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 permanently repealed the therapy caps that applied to Medicare Part B therapy services provided as of January 1, 2018. The former cap amounts were retained as a threshold above which claims must include confirmation that services are medically necessary as justified by appropriate documentation

Table of Contents

in the medical record. The industry estimates that these changes may potentially (i) result in the restoration of Medicare Part B SNF revenues that would have declined had the therapy caps remained in place and (ii) permit continued medically necessary services to maintain beneficiary quality of care levels. However, these changes reduced the reimbursement rate for Medicare Part B therapy services performed by therapy assistants to 85% of the physician fee schedule beginning January 1, 2022.

Quality of Care Initiatives. In addition to quality or value based reimbursement reforms, CMS has implemented a number of initiatives focused on the quality of care provided by long term care facilities that could affect our operators. In December 2008, CMS released quality ratings for all of the nursing homes that participate in Medicare or Medicaid under its “Five Star Quality Rating System.” Facility rankings, ranging from five stars (“much above average”) to one star (“much below average”) are updated on a monthly basis. SNFs are required to provide information for the CMS Nursing Home Compare website regarding staffing and quality measures. Based on this data and the results of state health inspections, SNFs are then rated based on the five-star rating system.

In August 2016, CMS announced a modification to the Five Star Quality Rating System through the introduction of new quality measures based primarily on Medicare claims data submitted by hospitals, including: (1) percentage of short-stay residents who were successfully discharged to the community; (2) percentage of short-stay residents who have had an outpatient emergency department visit; (3) percentage of short-stay residents who were re-hospitalized after a nursing home admission; (4) percentage of short-stay residents who made improvements in function; and (5) percentage of long-stay residents whose ability to move independently worsened. These ratings were incorporated into the nursing home rating system in July 2016 and were phased in through January 2017. In March 2019, CMS announced additional updates to the Nursing Home Care website and the Five Star Quality Rating System beginning in April 2019. These changes include revisions to the inspection process, enhancement of new staffing information, and implementation of new quality measures. Additional revisions include a lifting of the ‘freeze’ on the health inspection ratings instituted in February 2018. CMS has previously ‘frozen’ the health inspection star ratings category after implementing a new survey process for long-term care facilities.

CMS is also setting higher thresholds and evidence-based standards for nursing homes’ staffing levels. Currently, facilities that report seven or more days in a quarter with no registered nurse onsite are automatically assigned a one-star staffing rating. In April 2019, the threshold for the number of days without a registered nurse onsite in a quarter that triggers an automatic downgrade to one-star will be reduced from seven days to four days. It is possible that these rating changes or any other ranking system could lead to future reimbursement policies that reward or penalize facilities on the basis of the reported quality of care parameters.

Office of the Inspector General Activities. Beginning June 15, 2017, the Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) began updating its Work Plan website monthly in order to enhance transparency around the OIG’s continuous work planning efforts. The OIG reported in its January 2018 update that it would review the quality of care provided to Medicare beneficiaries, including elders and disabled persons, who are being treated at inpatient and outpatient medical facilities for conditions that may be the result of abuse or neglect. The OIG referenced prior reviews which indicated problems with the quality of care and the reporting and investigation of potential abuse or neglect at group homes, nursing homes, and skilled nursing facilities. The OIG additionally included a review of the staffing levels reported by SNFs as part of its August 2018 and February 2019 updates, as well as a review of involuntary transfers and discharges from nursing homes in its November 2018 updates. The OIG is continuing to review whether ambulance services paid by Medicare Part B were appropriately subject to Part A SNF consolidated billing requirements.

These monthly Work Plan updates supplement the OIG’s Work Plan for government fiscal year 2017 that included seven projects related specifically to nursing homes: (1) determining to what extent state agencies investigate serious nursing home complaints within the required timeframes; (2) unreported incidents of potential abuse and neglect in SNFs; (3) review of SNF Medicare reimbursement documentation (determine if it meets requirements for each particular resource utilization group); (4) the SNF Adverse Event Screening Tool, which will disseminate practical information about the SNF Adverse Event Trigger Tool; (5) review of the National Background Check Program for long-term care employees; (6) compliance with the SNF prospective payment system requirement related to a three-day qualifying inpatient hospital stay; and (7) review of potentially avoidable hospitalizations of Medicare and Medicaid-Eligible nursing facility residents and prevention and detection services provided by nursing homes. Additionally,

regional Recovery Audit Contractor program auditors along with the OIG and Department of Justice are expected to continue their efforts to evaluate SNF Medicare claims for any excessive therapy charges.

Department of Justice. SNFs are under intense scrutiny for the quality of care being rendered to residents and appropriate billing practices. The Department of Justice launched ten regional Elder Justice Task Forces in 2016 which are coordinating and enhancing efforts to pursue SNFs that provide grossly substandard care to their residents. They are also focusing on therapy billing issues. These Task Forces are composed of representatives from the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, State Medicaid Fraud Control Units, state and local prosecutors’ offices, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), State Adult Protective Services agencies, Long Term Care Ombudsmen programs, and law enforcement.

Medicare and Medicaid Program Audits. Governmental agencies and their agents, such as the Medicare Administrative Contractors, fiscal intermediaries and carriers, as well as the HHS-OIG and HHS-OCR, CMS and state Medicaid programs, may conduct audits of our operators’ billing practices. Under the Recovery Audit Contractor (“RAC”) program, CMS contracts with RACs on a contingency basis to conduct post-payment reviews to detect and correct improper payments in the fee-for-service Medicare program, to managed Medicare plans and in the Medicaid program. CMS also employs Medicaid Integrity Contractors (“MICs”) to perform post-payment audits of Medicaid claims and identify overpayments. In addition to RACs and MICs, the state Medicaid agencies and other contractors have increased their review activities. Should any of our operators be found out of compliance with any of these laws, regulations or programs, our business, financial position and results of operations could be negatively impacted.

Fraud and Abuse. There are various federal and state civil and criminal laws and regulations governing a wide array of healthcare provider referrals, relationships and arrangements, including laws and regulations prohibiting fraud by healthcare providers. Many of these complex laws raise issues that have not been clearly interpreted by the relevant governmental authorities and courts.

These laws include: (i) federal and state false claims acts, which, among other things, prohibit providers from filing false claims or making false statements to receive payment from Medicare, Medicaid or other federal or state healthcare programs; (ii) federal and state anti-kickback and fee-splitting statutes, including the Medicare and Medicaid Anti-kickback statute, which prohibit the payment or receipt of remuneration to induce referrals or recommendations of healthcare items or services, such as services provided in a SNF; (iii) federal and state physician self-referral laws (commonly referred to as the Stark Law), which generally prohibit referrals by physicians to entities for designated health services (some of which are provided in SNFs) with which the physician or an immediate family member has a financial relationship; (iv) the federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which prohibits, among other things, the knowing presentation of a false or fraudulent claim for certain healthcare services and (v) federal and state privacy laws, including the privacy and security rules contained in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, which provide for the privacy and security of personal health information.

Violations of healthcare fraud and abuse laws carry civil, criminal and administrative sanctions, including punitive sanctions, monetary penalties, imprisonment, denial of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement and potential exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid or other federal or state healthcare programs. Additionally, there are criminal provisions that prohibit filing false claims or making false statements to receive payment or certification under Medicare and Medicaid, as well as failing to refund overpayments or improper payments. Violation of the Anti-kickback statute or Stark Law may form the basis for a federal False Claims Act violation. These laws are enforced by a variety of federal, state and local agencies and can also be enforced by private litigants through, among other things, federal and state false claims acts, which allow private litigants to bring qui tam or whistleblower actions, which have become more frequent in recent years.

Several of our operators have responded to subpoenas and other requests for information regarding their operations in connection with inquiries by the Department of Justice or other regulatory agencies.

Privacy. Our operators are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect the confidentiality and security of patient health information, including the federal Health Insurance Portability and

Table of Contents

Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), and the corresponding regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively referred to herein as “HIPAA”). The HITECH Act expanded the scope of these provisions by mandating individual notification in instances of breaches of protected health information, providing enhanced penalties for HIPAA violations, and granting enforcement authority to states’ Attorneys General in addition to the HHS Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”). Additionally, in a final rule issued in January 2013, HHS modified the standard for determining whether a breach has occurred by creating a presumption that any non-permitted acquisition, access, use or disclosure of protected health information is a breach unless the covered entity or business associate can demonstrate through a risk assessment that there is a low probability that the information has been compromised. The OCR received $28.7 million from enforcement actions in 2018, surpassing the previous record of $23.5 million from 2016 by 22 percent.

Various states have similar laws and regulations that govern the maintenance and safeguarding of patient records, charts and other information generated in connection with the provision of professional medical services. These laws and regulations require our operators to expend the requisite resources to secure protected health information, including the funding of costs associated with technology upgrades. Operators found in violation of HIPAA or any other privacy law or regulation may face significant monetary penalties. In addition, compliance with an operator’s notification requirements in the event of a breach of unsecured protected health information could cause reputational harm to an operator’s business.

Licensing and Certification. Our operators and facilities are subject to various federal, state and local licensing and certification laws and regulations, including laws and regulations under Medicare and Medicaid requiring operators of SNFs and ALFs to comply with extensive standards governing operations. Governmental agencies administering these laws and regulations regularly inspect our operators’ facilities and investigate complaints. Our operators and their managers receive notices of observed violations and deficiencies from time to time, and sanctions have been imposed from time to time on facilities operated by them. In addition, many states require certain healthcare providers to obtain a certificate of need, which requires prior approval for the construction, expansion or closure of certain healthcare facilities, which has the potential to impact some of our operators’ abilities to expand or change their businesses.

Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”). Our properties must comply with the ADA and any similar state or local laws to the extent that such properties are public accommodations as defined in those statutes. The ADA may require removal of barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. Should barriers to access by persons with disabilities be discovered at any of our properties, we may be directly or indirectly responsible for additional costs that may be required to make facilities ADA-compliant. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. Our commitment to make readily achievable accommodations pursuant to the ADA is ongoing, and we continue to assess our properties and make modifications as appropriate in this respect.

Other Laws and Regulations. Additional federal, state and local laws and regulations affect how our operators conduct their operations, including laws and regulations protecting consumers against deceptive practices and otherwise generally affecting our operators’ management of their property and equipment and the conduct of their operations (including laws and regulations involving fire, health and safety; quality of services, including care and food service; residents’ rights, including abuse and neglect laws; and the health standards set by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration).

General and Professional Liability. Although arbitration agreements have been effective in limiting general and professional liabilities for SNF and long term care providers, there have been numerous lawsuits challenging the validity of arbitration agreements in long term care settings. As set forth in the recent conditions of participation final rule issued on October 4, 2016, CMS prohibited pre-dispute arbitration agreements between SNFs and residents effective November 28, 2016, thereby increasing potential liabilities for SNFs and long-term care providers. Subsequently, the authority of CMS to restrict the rights of these parties to arbitrate was challenged by litigation in various jurisdictions, and enforcement by CMS was suspended on November 7, 2016 following the issuance of a preliminary injunction by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi. In a reversal from its previous position, CMS issued a proposed rule on June 5, 2017 that would lift the ban on pre-dispute arbitration agreements in the long-term care setting.

A final version of the rule, which included heightened requirements regarding the transparency of arbitration agreements, was sent to the Office of Management and Budget on January 30, 2019 for approval.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States, and a summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. We have described our most critical accounting policies in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018, in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2018, except for the changes that resulted from the adoption of the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019, as discussed in detail in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, section “Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019” of these unaudited consolidated financial statements under Part 1, Item 1 of this report and the accompanying discussion of the new lease accounting guidance below. See also Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019

Table of Contents

As a lessor, rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term when we have determined that the collectibility of substantially all of the lease payments is probable. If we determine that it is not probable that substantially all of the lease payments will be collected, we account for the revenue under the lease on a cash basis. Changes in the assessment of probability are accounted for on a cumulative basis as if the lease had always been accounted for based on the current determination of the likelihood of collection potentially resulting in increased volatility of rental revenue.

In addition, provisions for operating lease losses are recognized as a direct reduction to rental income. Provisions for operating lease losses prior to January 1, 2019 were recorded in provision for uncollectible accounts on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, section “Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019” of these unaudited consolidated financial statements under Part 1, Item 1 of this report for additional disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption

Results of Operations

The following is our discussion of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and liquidity and capital resources, which should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $223.7 million, an increase of $3.5 million over the same period in 2018. The $3.5 million increase was primarily the result of (i) a $3.4 million increase in other investment income and a $1.6 million increase in mortgage income primarily related to new loans or notes and additional funding to existing operators made throughout 2018 and 2019. These increases were partially offset by (i) a $1.8 million decrease in rental income resulting from facility sales, placing operators on a cash basis and a lease termination, offset by additional revenue from facility acquisitions, facility transitions and lease amendments in 2018 and 2019, and $3.8 million of property tax revenue resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016‑02 on January 1, 2019 and (ii) a $0.4 million decrease in the direct financing lease income related to a facility sale in the second quarter of 2018.

Table of Contents

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019, totaled $101.5 million, an increase of approximately $2.0 million over the same period in 2018. The $2.0 million increase was primarily due to: (i) a $7.7 million increase in impairment loss on direct financing leases due to lower than expected accounts receivable collections by the Orianna Health Systems (“Orianna”) bankruptcy trustee, (ii) a $3.8 million increase related to real estate tax expense resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016‑02 on January 1, 2019, (iii) a $2.9 million increase in acquisition costs related to a pending acquisition and (iv) a $0.5 million increase in depreciation expense. These increases were partially offset by (i) a $7.8 million decrease in provisions for uncollectible accounts and (ii) a $4.9 million decrease in impairments on real estate properties.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, total other expenses were $50.0 million, an increase of approximately $0.4 million over the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to $0.2 million change in interest income and other – net primarily related to the change in the fair value of warrants to acquire shares of another public company.

National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts Funds From Operations

Our funds from operations (“Nareit FFO”) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $144.1 million compared to $147.4 million for the same period in 2018.

We calculate and report Nareit FFO in accordance with the definition of Funds from Operations 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 generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization and impairment 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 are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. We believe that Nareit FFO is an important supplemental measure of our 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. Nareit FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue. Nareit FFO herein is not necessarily comparable to Nareit FFO of other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us.

Nareit FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. We use Nareit FFO as one of several criteria to measure the operating performance of our business. We further believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairment 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, Nareit FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. We offer this measure to assist the users of our financial statements in evaluating our financial performance under GAAP, and Nareit FFO 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 our securities should not rely on this measure as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

Portfolio and Recent Developments

As of March 31, 2019, we have two facilities, totaling $0.6 million classified as assets held for sale. We expect to sell these facilities over the next twelve months.

Table of Contents

Asset Sales, Contractual Receivables and Other Receivables and Lease Inducements and Other

Asset Sales

During the first quarter of 2019, we sold one facility which was previously held for sale at December 31, 2018 for approximately $0.4 million in net cash proceeds recognizing a net gain of approximately $3,000.

Contractual Receivables and Other Receivables and Lease Inducements

As of March 31, 2019, we have approximately $33.3 million of contractual receivables outstanding. Of the $33.3 million of contractual receivables outstanding, approximately $19.4 million relates to Agemo Holdings LLC (“Agemo” an entity formed in May 2018 to silo the leases and loans formerly held by Signature Healthcare) and Daybreak Venture LLC (“Daybreak”). Daybreak is on a cash basis of accounting for purposes of revenue recognition, see additional discussion below. In addition to the contractual receivables, we have approximately $47.2 million of straight-line rent receivables and/or lease inducements associated with these operators as of March 31, 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded approximately $20.2 million and $19.4 million of rental income, respectively, and $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of other investment income from these operators.

Other

During the third quarter of 2017, we placed Daybreak on a cash basis for revenue recognition as a result of nonpayment of funds owed to us. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we executed a Settlement and Forbearance Agreement with Daybreak which permitted Daybreak to defer payments up to 23% of their contractual rent for the remainder of 2017, subject to certain conditions. During the fourth quarter of 2018, Daybreak fell behind on rent by

Table of Contents

approximately two months and, accordingly, was no longer in compliance with the 2017 Settlement and Forbearance Agreement as a result of not paying the full contractual amounts due.

On January 30, 2019, we entered into a Second Amendment to Settlement and Forbearance Agreement under which we agreed to defer approximately $4.2 million of rent in the fourth quarter of 2018 and approximately $2.5 million (or approximately one month’s rent) in each of the first two quarters of 2019. We believe these rent deferrals position Daybreak to continue to embark on certain operational improvements and to provide Daybreak time to receive the benefits of increased participation in the state of Texas quality incentive payment program (“QIPP”), which would provide SNF operators enhanced reimbursement.

The Company continues to closely monitor the performance of all of its operators, as well as industry trends and developments generally.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2019, we had total assets of $8.5 billion, total equity of $3.8 billion and debt of $4.5 billion, representing approximately 54.0% of total capitalization.

Financing Activities and Borrowing Arrangements

$500 Million Equity Shelf Program

Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan

Dividends

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to our stockholders in an amount at least equal to (A) the sum of (i) 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain), and (ii) 90% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (B) the sum of certain items of non-cash income. In addition, if we dispose of any built-in gain asset during a recognition period, we will be required to distribute at least 90% of the built-in gain (after tax), if any, recognized on the disposition of such asset. Such distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if declared before we timely file our tax return for such year and paid on or before the first regular dividend payment after such declaration. In addition, such distributions are required to be made pro rata, with no preference to any share of stock as compared with other shares of the same class, and with no preference to one class of stock as compared with another class except to the extent that such class is entitled to such a preference. To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or do distribute at least 90%, but less than 100% of our “REIT taxable income” as adjusted, we will be subject to tax thereon at regular ordinary and capital gain corporate tax rates.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we paid dividends of approximately $136.6 million, to our common stockholders. On February 15, 2019, we paid dividends of $0.66 per outstanding common share to common stockholders of record as of January 31, 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, Omega OP paid distributions of approximately $7.0 million to holders of Omega OP Units other than Omega. The Omega OP Unit holders received the same distributions per unit as those paid to the common stockholders of Omega.

Liquidity

We believe our liquidity and various sources of available capital, including cash from operations, our existing availability under our credit facilities, facility sales and expected proceeds from mortgage and other investment payoffs are adequate to finance operations, meet recurring debt service requirements and fund future investments through the next twelve months.

We regularly review our liquidity needs, the adequacy of cash flow from operations, and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We believe our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund:

normal recurring expenses;

debt service payments;

capital improvement programs;

common stock dividends; and

growth through acquisitions of additional properties.

The primary source of liquidity is our cash flows from operations. Operating cash flows have historically been determined by: (i) the number of facilities we lease or have mortgages on; (ii) rental and mortgage rates; (iii) our debt service obligations; (iv) general and administrative expenses and (v) our operators’ ability to pay amounts owed. The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by or used in financing activities and in investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets environment, especially to changes in interest rates. Changes in the capital markets environment may impact the availability of cost-effective capital and affect our plans for acquisition and disposition activity.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $41.4 million as of March 31, 2019, an increase of $29.7 million as compared to the balance at December 31, 2018. The following is a discussion of changes in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Operating Activities – Operating activities generated $110.1 million of net cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $52.9 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of $57.2 million which is primarily due to the reduction of contractual receivables, a reduction in lease inducements provided to our operators and the timing of interest payments.

Investing Activities – Net cash flow from investing activities was an inflow of $72.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to an outflow of $1.4 million for the same period in 2018. The $73.6 million change in cash flow from investing activities related primarily to (i) a $86.7 million increase in proceeds from sale of direct financing lease assets, (ii) a $70.3 million change in other investments – net and (iii) a $23.8 million decrease in real estate acquisitions. Offsetting these changes were: (i) a $74.4 million decrease in proceeds from sale of real estate investments, (ii) a $22.8 million change in mortgages – net and (iii) a $9.0 million increase in investments in construction in progress in 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018.

Financing Activities – Net cash flow from financing activities was an outflow of $152.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to an outflow of $69.5 million for the same period in 2018. The $83.1 million change in cash from financing activities was primarily related to (i) a $183.0 million net change in our credit facility borrowings and (ii) a $5.2 million increase in dividends paid, offset by (1) a $76.6 million increase in cash

proceeds from the issuance of common stock in 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018 and (ii) a $27.4 million increase in net proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan in 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, there were no material changes in our primary market risk exposures or how those exposures are managed from the information disclosed under Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10‑Q, management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures of Omega and Omega OP (for purposes of this Item 4, the “Companies”) as of March 31, 2019. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures of the Companies were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2019.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(f) and 15d‑15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report identified in connection with the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures described above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1 – Legal Proceedings

See Note 16 – Contingencies, Indemnities and Commitments in the Financial Statements - Part I, Item 1 hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference in response to this item.

Item 1A – Risk Factors

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, Omega issued an aggregate of 1,445,605 shares of Omega common stock in exchange for an equivalent number of Omega OP Units tendered to Omega OP for redemption in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. The Company issued these shares of Omega common stock in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based upon factual representations received from the limited partners who received the Omega common stock.
