EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 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” mean 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” mean 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 September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. 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 presentations 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 Parent 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” and 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

September 30, 2019March 31, 2020

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 CompanyOmega has 1 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, assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), and to a lesser extent, independent living facilities (“ILFs”), rehabilitation and acute care facilities (“specialty facilities”) and medical office buildings (“MOBs”). Our core portfolio consists of long-term leases and mortgage agreements. Except for one MOB, allAll of our leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the operators (we use the term “operator” 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 is derivedderives from fixed and variable rate loans to our operators and/or their principals to fund working capital and capital expenditures. These loans, which may be either unsecured or secured by the collateral of the borrower, are classified as other investments.

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 September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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 May 17, 2019, Omega and Omega OP completed their merger with MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc. (“MedEquities”) and its subsidiary operating partnership and the general partner of its subsidiary operating partnership. Pursuant to the 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”) Omega acquired MedEquities and MedEquities was 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 was 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.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MedEquities declared 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 was payable following the effective time of the Merger together with the cash consideration under the Merger Agreement.  For additional information see Note 2  - Properties and Investments.

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, 2019.28, 2020.

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.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties affecting the healthcare industry as a result of healthcare legislation and growing regulation by federal, state and local governments. Additionally, we are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of changes affecting operators of nursing home facilities due to the actions of governmental agencies and insurers to limit the rising cost of healthcare services.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has led governments and other authorities in the U.S., U.K. and around the world  to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. We believe many of our operators are incurring significant cost increases as a result of the pandemic, with dramatic increases for facilities with positive cases. We believe these increases primarily stem from elevated labor costs, including increased use of overtime and bonus pay, as well as a significant increase in both the cost and usage of personal protective equipment and supplies. In terms of occupancy levels, we believe many of our operators are experiencing declines, in part due to the elimination of elective hospital procedures. To the extent these trends continue or accelerate and are not offset by sufficient or timely government relief, the operating results of our operators are likely to be adversely affected, some may be unwilling or unable to pay their contractual obligations to us in full or on a timely basis and we may be unable to restructure such obligations on terms as favorable to us as those currently in place. Even if operators are able to avail themselves of government relief to offset some of these costs, they may face challenges in complying with the terms and conditions of government support and may face longer-term adverse impacts to their personnel and business operations from the pandemic, including potential patient litigation and decreased demand for their services.  The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our and our operators’ operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to the speed with which the situation is developing, we are not able at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on our business, but the adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material.

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 ventures are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary.

13

Table of Contents

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 September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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.

15

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 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.terms and other deposits required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) in connection with our mortgage borrowings guaranteed by HUD.

14

Table of Contents

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 considersconsider 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 or other healthcare facility 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’sto our assets in a future period that could be material to the Company’sOmega’s results of operations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,March 31, 2020, we recognized impairment on real estate properties of approximately $3.8 million and $22.9 million, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recognized impairment on real estate properties of $9.5 million and $26.7 million, respectively.$3.6 million.

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 receivable 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.collateral. 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.

15

Table of Contents

We account for impaired loans and direct financing leases using (a) the cost-recovery method, and/or (b) the cash basis method. We generally utilize the cost-recovery method for impaired loans or direct financing leases for which impairment reserves were recorded. We utilize the cash basis method for impaired loans or direct financing leases for which no impairment reserves were recorded because the net present value of the discounted cash flows expected under the loan or direct financing lease and/or the underlying collateral supporting the loan or direct financing lease were equal to or exceeded the book value of the loan.loans or direct financing leases. Under the cost-recovery method, we apply cash received against the outstanding loan balance or direct financing lease 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 September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, we had $4.9$35.3 million and $108.1$5.1 million, respectively, of reserves on our loans.

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.

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 shares/Omega OP Units reflect the assumed issuance of additional common shares pursuant to certain of our share-based compensation plans, including restricted stock and profit interest units, performance restricted stock and profit interest units, the assumed issuance of additional shares related to Omega OP Units held by outside investors. Dilutive Omega OP Units reflect the assumed issuance of additional Omega OP Units pursuant to certain of our share-based compensation plans, including, restricted stock and profit interest units, performance restricted stock and profit interest units.

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.

Foreign Operations

The U.S. dollar (“USD”) 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 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’sour related assertions. The CompanyOmega 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 September 30,March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $5.3 millionthe fair value of certain qualifying cash flow hedges were recorded at fair valuewas $13.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  At DecemberMarch 31, 2018, $4.0 million2020, the fair value of certain qualifying cash flow hedges were recorded at fair valuewas $1.9 million and is included in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Net investment hedge

The Company isWe are exposed to fluctuations in the GBP against its functional currency, the USD, relating to its investments in healthcare-related real estate propertiesinvestments located in the U.K. The Company uses a nonderivative, GBP-denominated term loan and line of credit 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.

We assess the probability of collecting substantially all payments under our leases based on several factors, including, among other things, payment history of the lessee, the financial strength of the lessee and any guarantors, historical operations and operating trends and current and future economic conditions and expectations of performance.  If our evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that we will be unable to collect substantially all rents, we recognize a charge to rental income and 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.  If we change our conclusion regarding the probability of collecting rent payments required by a lessee, we may recognize an adjustment to rental income in the period we make a change to our prior conclusion.  

On a quarterly basis, and more frequently as appropriate, we review our contractual interest receivables, effective yield interest receivables and direct financing lease 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.

18

Table of Contents

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.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 20192020

In FebruaryJune 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 the previous 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 record an adjustment as of January 1, 2019.  During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we made an adjustment of approximately $8.5 million to the equity balance as of April 1, 2019 to reflect our assessment of the collectability of certain operator’s future contractual lease payments based on the facts and circumstances that existed as of January 1, 2019. Additionally, our leases met the criteria in Topic 842 to not separate non-lease components from the related lease component.  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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $3.3 million and $9.8 million, respectively, of rental income and $3.9 million and $11.8 million, respectively, of real estate tax expense in our Consolidated Statements 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of rental income and $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of ground lease expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Table of Contents

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.

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 2 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 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 734 SNFs, 114 ALFs, 28 specialty facilities and 2 medical office buildings at September 30, 2019, are leased under provisions of single or master leases with initial terms typically ranging from 5 to 15 years, plus renewal options.  See Note 2 – Properties and Investments.  As of September 30, 2019, we have determined that all but two of our leases should be accounted for as operating leases. NaN 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.

Table of Contents

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 Statements 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 (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 standardadopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach.  We continueUpon adoption, we recorded an initial $28.8 million allowance for expected credit losses with a corresponding adjustment to evaluate the impactequity.

We elected to disaggregate our financial assets within the scope of Topic 326 based on the type of financial instrument. These segments were further disaggregated based on our internal credit ratings.  We assess our internal credit ratings on a quarterly basis.  Our internal credit ratings consider several factors including the collateral and/or security, the performance of borrowers underlying facilities, if applicable, available credit support (e.g., guarantees), borrowings with third-parties, and other ancillary business ventures and real estate operations of the borrower.  Our internal ratings range between 1 and 7.  An internal rating of 1 reflects the lowest likelihood of loss and a 7 reflects the highest likelihood of loss.

We have a limited history of incurred losses and consequently have elected to employ external data to perform our expected credit loss calculation.  We have elected a probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) methodology. Our model’s historic inputs consider PD and LGD data for residential care facilities published by the Federal Housing Administration (the “FHA”) along with Standards & Poor’s one-year global corporate default rates.  Our historical loss rates revert to historical averages after 36 periods. Our model’s current conditions and supportable forecasts consider internal credit ratings, current and projected U.S. unemployment rates published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and the weighted average life to maturity of the underlying financial asset.

As of March 31, 2020, $12.7 million of contractual interest receivable is recorded in contractual receivables – net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  NaN interest receivable has been reserved for during the period ended March 31, 2020.  We have elected the practical expedient to exclude interest receivable from our allowance for credit losses.  We write-off interest receivable to provision for credit losses in the period we determine the interest is no longer considered collectible.        

On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation.  We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

MedEquities Merger

On May 17, 2019, Omega and Omega OP completed the MedEquities Merger.  In accordance with the Merger Agreement, each share of MedEquities common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.235 of a share of Omega common stock plus the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Omega common stock, and (ii) an amount in cash equal to $2.00 (the “Cash Consideration”).  In connection with the MedEquities Merger, we issued approximately 7.5 million shares of Omega common stock and paid approximately $63.7 million of cash consideration to former MedEquities stockholders.  We borrowed approximately $350 million under our existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility to fund the cash consideration and the repayment of MedEquities’ previously outstanding debt.  As a result of the MedEquities Merger, we acquired 33 facilities subject to operating leases, 4 mortgages, 3 other investments and an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.  We also acquired other assets and assumed debt and other liabilities.  Based on the closing price of our common stock on May 16, 2019, the fair value of the consideration exchanged approximated $346 million.

Asset Sales and Impairments

During the first quarter of 2019,2020, we sold 1 facility which was previously held for sale at December 31, 20186 facilities subject to operating leases for approximately $0.4$18.1 million in net cash proceeds recognizing a net gain of approximately $3,000.  

During the second quarter of 2019, we sold 3 facilities subject to operating leases and a parcel of land for approximately $8.6 million in net cash proceeds recognizing a net loss of approximately $0.3$1.8 million.  In addition, we recorded impairments on real estate propertiesthree facilities of approximately $7.6$3.6 million on 2 facilities.  Our second quarter 2019 impairments were offset by $1.9 million of insurance proceeds received related to a facility that(1 was destroyed by a storm.

During the third quarter of 2019, we sold 19 facilities (3 were previously held for sale at June 30, 2019 and 10 were leased to Diversicare Healthcare Services, Inc. at June 30, 2019) for approximately $177.0 million in net cash proceeds recognizing a net gain of approximately $53.1 million.  In addition, we recorded impairments of approximately $5.7 million on 4 facilities of which three were subsequently reclassified to assets held for sale.  Our third quarter 2019 impairments were offset by $1.8 million of insurance proceeds received related to 2 facilities that were previously destroyed.sale).

Our recorded impairments were primarily the result of decisions to exit certain non-strategic facilities and/or operators.  We reduced the net book value of the impaired facilities to their estimated fair values.values or, with respect to the facilities reclassified to held for sale, to their estimated fair values less costs to sell.  To estimate the fair value of the facilities, we utilized a market approach which considered binding sale agreements (a Level 1 input) and/or  non-binding offers from unrelated third parties and/or broker quotes (a Level 3 input).

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 Sheets.  For the period from January 16, 2019 through September 30, 2019, we received approximately $88 million from the Trust as a partial liquidation. NaN liquidation proceeds were received during the three months ended September 30, 2019.    

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 during the three months ended March 31, 2019, reducing our remaining receivable from the Trust to approximately $21.1 million as of March 31, 2019.  As of September 30, 2019, our remaining receivable from the Trust is $19.1 million.  As of September 30, 2019, the Trust was comprised of $19.5 million of cash and $3.0 million of net accounts receivable.  We expect that the aggregate of such amounts will be used to pay estimated costs of $3.4 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 September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, mortgage notes receivable relate to 89 fixed rate mortgage notes on 5253 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 8 states that are operated by 7 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:

In determining our maximum exposure to loss from the VIE, we considered the underlying value of the real estate subject to leases with the operator and other collateral, if any, supporting our other investments, which may include accounts receivable, security deposits, letters of credit or personal guarantees, if any. See Note 5 – Other Investments regarding the terms of the other investments with Agemo and Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies, regarding our commitment to provide capital expenditure funding to our operators which includes Agemo.  In May 2018, we reached an out-of-court restructuring agreement with Agemo that provided for the deferral of rent, the extension of the maturity of our lease and loans, and a working capital loan.  If Agemo’s operations deteriorate and they are unable to meet their contractual obligations to us, we may be required to account for rental income from them on a cash basis and reserve approximately $75.9 million of contractual receivables, straight-line rent receivables and lease inducements.

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.

Table of Contents

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.

34

Table of Contents

If the Company failswe fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Companywe 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’sour 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 have met and will continue to meet the annual REIT distribution requirements. In 2019,2020, 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 one1 or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). We have elected for 35 of our active subsidiaries to be treated as TRSs. NaN of our TRSs are domestic and are subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates and the other is2 are subject to foreign income taxes. As of September 30, 2019, oneMarch 31, 2020, 1 of our domestic TRSs 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. TheUp to 100% of the net operating loss carry-forwards arising in taxable years ending prior to January 1, 2018, may be used to reduce taxable income for any taxable year during the eligible carry-forward isperiod.  Changes made by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Act”) limited the amount of net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forward arising in tax years ending subsequent to December 31, 2018, to reduce 80% of taxable income for any taxable year during the eligible carry-forward period.  Our NOL carry-forward was fully reserved as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, with a valuation allowance due to uncertainties regarding realization.  Our net operating lossUnder current law, our NOL carryforwards willgenerated up through December 31, 2017 may be carried forward for no more than 20 years, subject to certain limitations.  In connection with the MedEquities Merger on May 17, 2019, we acquired MedEquities Realty TRS, LLC.  MedEquities Realty TRS, LLC has no assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses and accordingly, we have no tax accrual orour net operating loss carryforward associated with thisgenerated in our taxable years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 may be carried forward indefinitely.  

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) signed into law on March 27, 2020 modified the NOL carryforward rules applicable to certain of the NOL carryforwards possessed by our TRSs. First, the Act defers the application of 80% of taxable income limitation, which was added to the Code by the 2017 Act, to our TRS’s taxable years ended December 31, 2021, in addition to modifying the computation of the 80% limitation. Additionally, the CARES Act permits the carryback of NOLs generated by our TRSs in 2018, 2019, and 2020 for up to five years to offset taxable income reported in any of those prior tax years and recover income taxes paid in such prior tax years. Other provisions of the CARES Act may also impact the computation of taxable income by any of our TRSs or Omega and Omega OP. The modifications to the NOL carryback rules do not permit the carryback of a NOL by a REIT and, thus, will not impact Omega. We do not anticipate that such changes will materially impact the computation of Omega’s taxable income, or the taxable income of any Omega entity, including our TRSs. We also do not expect that Omega or any Omega entity, including our TRSs, will realize a material tax benefit as a result of September 30, 2019.the changes to the provisions of the Code made by the CARES Act.

For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, we recorded approximately $0.3$0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of state and local income tax provisions.  For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, we recorded approximately $0.7$0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of state and local income tax provisions.  For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of tax provisions for foreign income taxes.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded approximately $1.3 million and $1.6$0.5 million, respectively, of tax provisions for foreign income taxes.  The expenses were included in income tax expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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,Index for awards granted 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.after 2016 (both “Relative TSR”). We expense the cost of these awards ratably over their service period.

Prior to vesting and the distribution of shares or profit interest units,Omega OP Units, ownership of the PRSUs or profit interest unitsPIUs 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 unitPIU is unearned, the employee receives a partnership distribution equal 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 unitPIUs accumulate, and if the profit interest unit isPIUs are earned, the accumulated distributions are paid.  We used a Monte Carlo model to estimate the fair value for the PRSUs and PIUs granted to the employees.

The number of shares or units earned under the TSR PRSUs or profit interest unitsPIUs depends generally on the level of achievement of Omega’s TSR over the indicated performance period. We awarded 133,887680,038 TSR PRSUs and 377,766 TSR profit interest unitsPIUs to employees on January 1, 2019.2020.

(1)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)2019). 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).
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).

HUD mortgages: The fair value of our borrowings under HUD debt agreements are estimated using an expected present value technique based on quotes obtained by HUD debt brokers (Level 2).

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.

Table of Contents

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, 2019.2018.  On March 25, 2019, the Court entered an order dismissing with prejudice all claims against all defendants.  Plaintiffs have appealed the order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The appeal is fully briefed, and the Court of Appeals heard oral argument is scheduled foron November 13, 2019.   The Company is awaiting a decision on the appeal. In the District Court, on March 26, 2020, Plaintiffs filed a motion for an indicative ruling regarding relief from final judgement based on allegedly newly-discovered evidence and for leave to file an amended complaint. The Company believes that the motion is without merit and filed an opposition on May 1, 2020.

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 Swan, that were substantively identical to the Swan 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 United States District Court for the Southern District of New York 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.

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.  The derivative actions brought by Swan and Bradley and Smith have been consolidated under the heading of the Swan action.  The parties in those actions have agreed to a stay of proceedings pending the issuance of a mandate from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in the appeal of the dismissal of the Securities Class Action. On October 11, 2019, the Court issued an order adopting the stay of proceedings agreed to by the parties.

Separately, four lawsuits were 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 named the Company as a defendant.  Three of these actions have been dismissed, including both actions that named the Company as 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 alleged, 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 sought, 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.  Following completion of the merger in May 2019, on September 27, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, and in response, plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the action with prejudice.  This action is thus dismissed.

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.  Following completion of the merger in May 2019, on August 8, 2019, the Court granted plaintiff’s motion that he be appointed lead plaintiff and that his counsel be appointed lead counsel.  On September 18, 2019, the Court granted a joint motion by the parties to briefly extend certain deadlines in the case, under which plaintiff had until October 18, 2019 to designate an operative complaint.  On October 18, 2019, plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the action without prejudice.  The action was dismissed on October 18, 2019.

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 Amended and Restated Bylaws of MedEquities 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 sought, 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, seeks 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.  Following completion of the merger in May 2019, the parties entered into a Stipulation dated September 26, 2019, in which they agreed to a revised briefing schedule on one consolidated motion to dismiss, pursuant to which defendants filed their motion to dismiss on October 31, 2019.

In September 2016, MedEquities received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), which indicates that it is conducting an investigation regarding alleged violations of the False Claims Act, Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute in connection with claims that may have been submitted to Medicare and other federal payors for services rendered to patients at Lakeway HospitalRegional Medical Center (the “Lakeway Hospital”) or by providers with financial relationships with Lakeway Hospital. As a result of the acquisition of MedEquities, the Company owns a 51% interest in an unconsolidated partnership that owns the Lakeway Hospital (the “Lakeway Partnership”(Lakeway Realty, L.L.C.). The CID requested certain documents and information related to the acquisition and ownership of the Lakeway Hospital through the Lakeway Partnership.Realty, L.L.C. The Company has learned that the DOJ is investigating MedEquities’ conduct in connection with its investigation of financial relationships related to the Lakeway Hospital, including allegations by the DOJ that these relationships violate and continue to violate the Anti-Kickback Statute and, as a result, related claims submitted to federal payors violated and continue to violate the False Claims Act.  The Company is cooperating fully with the DOJ in connection with the CID and has produced all of the information that has been requested to date.

The Company believes that the acquisition, ownership and leasing of the Lakeway Hospital through the Lakeway PartnershipRealty, L.L.C. was and is in compliance with all applicable laws. However, due to the uncertainties surrounding this matter and its ultimate outcome, we are unable to determine whether it is probable that any loss has been incurred.

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.

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 shares/Omega OP Units reflect the assumed issuance of additional common shares pursuant to certain of our share-based compensation plans, including restricted stock and profit interest units, performance restricted stock and profit interest units, the assumed issuance of additional shares related to Omega OP Units held by outside investors and the effect of our forward equity agreement. Dilutive Omega OP Units reflect the assumed issuance of additional Omega OP Units pursuant to certain of our share-based compensation plans, including, restricted stock and profit interest units, performance restricted stock and profit interest units and the effect of our forward equity agreement.

In September 2019, the Company entered into forward equity sales agreement to sell up to an aggregate of 7.5 million shares of our common stock at an initial net price of $40.01 per share, after underwriting discounts and commissions, on one or more settlement dates to be selected by us no later than September 10, 2020. See Note 11 – Stockholder/Owners’ Equity – Forward Equity Sales Agreement. We expect to settle the forward equity sales agreement entirely by the physical delivery of shares of common stock in exchange for cash proceeds, although we may elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under the forward equity sales agreement subject to certain conditions.  The shares issuable upon settlement of the forward equity sales agreement are reflected in the diluted earnings per share calculations using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of the Company’s common shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any, of the number of common shares that would be issued upon full physical settlement of the forward equity sales agreement over the number of common shares that could be purchased by the Company in the market (based on the average market price during the period) using the proceeds receivable upon full physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sale price at the end of the reporting period). If and when the Company physically or net share settles the forward equity sales agreement, the delivery of common shares would result in an increase in the number of shares outstanding and dilution to earnings per share.

NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 31, 2019, we completed the previously announced $735 million portfolio acquisition of 60 facilities (the “Encore Portfolio”).  Consideration consisted of approximately $346 million of cash and the assumption of approximately $389 million in mortgage loans guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.  These loans have a blended “all-in” rate (interest rates and mortgage insurance premiums) of 3.66% per annum with maturities between September 2046 and December 2051.

The 60 facilities in the Encore Portfolio, consisting of 58 SNFs and 2 ALFs representing 6,590 operating beds, are located in Florida (37), North Carolina (8), Mississippi (6), Louisiana (4), Idaho (2), Kentucky (1), Missouri (1) and Montana (1).  The facilities are leased to 2 operators within 3 triple net leases providing for approximately $64 million in 2020 annual contractual cash rent.

On October 30, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase from Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (formerly HCP, Inc.) its 49% joint venture interest in a U.K. portfolio consisting of 67 senior housing facilities, as well as related development and working capital loans, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $90 million. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.  No assurance can be given as to when or if the closing conditions will be satisfied and the transaction will be completed.

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. 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.

Table of Contents

The CompanyOmega 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 assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), and to a lesser extent, independent living facilities (“ILFs”), rehabilitation and acute care facilities (“specialty facilities”) and medical office buildings (“MOBs”). Our core portfolio consists of long-term leases and mortgage agreements. Except for one MOB, allAll of our leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the operators (we use the term “operator” 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 is derivedderives from fixed and variable rate loans to our operators and/or their principals to fund working capital and capital expenditures.  These loans, which may be either unsecured or secured by the collateral of the borrower, are classified as other investments.

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 September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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 Omega OP Units.

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. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 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.

On May 17, 2019, Omega and Omega OP completed their merger with MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc. (“MedEquities”) and its subsidiary operating partnership and the general partner of its subsidiary operating partnership. Pursuant to the 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”) Omega acquired MedEquities and MedEquities was 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 was 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.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MedEquities declared 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 was payable following the effective time of the Merger together with the cash consideration under the Merger Agreement.

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our portfolio of real estate investments consisted of 936985 healthcare facilities, located in 40 states and the U.K. and operated by 7370 third-party operators. Our investment in these facilities, net of impairments and allowances, totaled approximately $9.1$9.7 billion at September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, with approximately 97% of our real estate investments related to long-term care facilities. Our portfolio is made up of 736778 SNFs, 114115 ALFs, 2829 specialty facilities, two medical office buildings, fixed rate mortgages on 4647 SNFs, two ALFs and four specialty facilities and foureight facilities that are held for sale. At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we also held other investments of approximately $402.2$424.7 million, consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our facilities and $96.8$194.4 million of investments in twofive unconsolidated joint ventures.

As of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, we do not have any material properties or operators with facilities that are not materially occupied.

While the COVID-19 pandemic did not materially impact our rental revenue for the first quarter and we have collected substantially all of our contractual rents due in April, the pandemic is having a significant impact on our operators.  As of April 30, 2020, our operators reported 4,136 total confirmed cases of COVID-19 in our facilities which includes cases involving employees and residents, including patients known to be positive at the time of admission from a hospital or healthcare center.  The total cases are within 250 facilities as of April 30, 2020, or 25.9%, of our 966 operating facilities as of March 31, 2020. The total confirmed cases reported by our operators may not be adjusted downward for recoveries, discharges or deaths, and may be significantly lower than or different from actual cases based on the availability of testing and the lag time involved in testing and reporting, as well as the accuracy of reporting.  We have not independently validated such facility virus incidence information and can provide no assurance regarding its accuracy or that there have not been any changes since the time the information was obtained from our operators; we also undertake no duty to update this information.

Table of Contents

We believe many of our operators have incurred significant cost increases as a result of the pandemic, with dramatic increases for facilities with positive cases. We believe these increases primarily stem from elevated labor costs, including increased use of overtime and bonus pay, as well as a significant increase in both the cost and usage of personal protective equipment and supplies. In terms of occupancy levels, we believe many of our operators are experiencing declines, in part due to the elimination of elective hospital procedures, which drive post-acute skilled nursing admissions.  While we cannot at this time estimate the net impact going forward, we believe that government relief measures at the federal and state levels, including expanded Medicaid reimbursements, may offer meaningful support to offset a portion of these cost increases and impacts to our operators.

There are a number of uncertainties we face as we consider the potential impact of COVID-19 on our business, including how long census disruption and elevated COVID-19 costs will last and the extent to which funding support from the federal government and the states will offset these incremental costs.  We also do not know the number of Omega facilities that will ultimately experience widespread, high-cost outbreaks of COVID-19, and while we have requested reporting from operators of their numbers of cases, and CMS has required additional reporting by operators, we may not receive accurate information on the number of cases and may experience a lag in reporting. We expect to see increased clinical protocols for infection control within facilities and the monitoring of employees, guests and others entering facilities; however, we do not know if future reimbursement rates will be sufficient to cover the increased costs of enhanced infection control and monitoring.

As such, while we continue to believe that longer term demographics will drive increasing demand for needs-based skilled nursing care, we expect the uncertainties to our business described above to persist at least for the near term until we can gain more visibility into the costs our operators will experience and the level of governmental support that will be available to them, as well as the potential support our operators may request from us.

Given this uncertainty, we have taken several steps during and following the first quarter to enhance our capital position as a precautionary measure, including a partial draw on our $1.25 billion revolving credit facility in the amount of $300 million during the first quarter, as well as entering into $400 million (notional amount) of 10-year interest rate swaps at an average swap rate of 0.8675% that expire in 2024, which provides us with some cost certainty for the refinancing of our senior notes maturing in 2023. We believe our actions to date provide us with additional liquidity and flexibility to weather a potential pronounced and prolonged impact to our business, and as such, we maintained our dividend level of $0.67 per share for the first quarter dividend. However, we will continue to evaluate any additional steps that may be needed to maintain adequate liquidity.  

Taxation

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 failswe fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Companywe 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’sour 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 have met and will continue to meet the annual REIT distribution requirements. In 2019,2020, we expect to pay dividends in excess of our taxable income.

Table of Contents

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 threefive of our active subsidiaries to be treated as TRSs. TwoThree of our TRSs are domestic and are subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates and the other istwo are subject to foreign income taxes. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, one of our domestic TRSs 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. TheUp to 100% of the net operating loss carry-forwards arising in taxable years ending prior to January 1, 2018, may be used to reduce taxable income for any taxable year during the eligible carry-forward isperiod.  Changes made by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Act”) limited the amount of net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forward arising in tax years ending subsequent to December 31, 2018, to reduce 80% of taxable income for any taxable year during the eligible carry-forward period.  Our NOL carry-forward was fully reserved as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, with a valuation allowance due to uncertainties regarding realization.  Our net operating lossUnder current law, our NOL carryforwards willgenerated up through December 31, 2017 may be carried forward for no more than 20 years, subject to certain limitations.  In connection with the MedEquities Merger on May 17, 2019, we acquired MedEquities Realty TRS, LLC.  MedEquities Realty TRS, LLC has no assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses and accordingly, we have no tax accrual orour net operating loss carryforward associated with thisgenerated in our taxable years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 may be carried forward indefinitely.  

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) signed into law on March 27, 2020 modified the NOL carryforward rules applicable to certain of the NOL carryforwards possessed by our TRSs. First, the Act defers the application of 80% of taxable income limitation, which was added to the Code by the 2017 Act, to our TRS’s taxable years ended December 31, 2021, in addition to modifying the computation of the 80% limitation. Additionally, the CARES Act permits the carryback of NOLs generated by our TRSs in 2018, 2019, and 2020 for up to five years to offset taxable income reported in any of those prior tax years and recover income taxes paid in such prior tax years. Other provisions of the CARES Act may also impact the computation of taxable income by any of our TRSs or Omega and Omega OP. The modifications to the NOL carryback rules do not permit the carryback of a NOL by a REIT and, thus, will not impact Omega. We do not anticipate that such changes will impact materially the computation of Omega’s taxable income, or the taxable income of any Omega entity, including our TRSs. We also do not expect that Omega or any Omega entity, including our TRSs, will realize a material tax benefit as a result of September 30, 2019.the changes to the provisions of the Code made by the CARES Act.

For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, we recorded approximately $0.3$0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of state and local income tax provisions.  For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, we recorded approximately $0.7$0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of state and local income tax provisions.  For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of tax provisions for foreign income taxes.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded approximately $1.3 million and $1.6$0.5 million, respectively, of tax provisions for foreign income taxes.  The expenses were included in income tax expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.Operations.

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.

Additionally, emergency legislation, including the CARES Act enacted on March 27, 2020 and discussed below, and temporary changes to regulations and reimbursement issued by the current administration in response to the 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic continue to have a significant impact on the operations and financial condition of our operators.  The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our and our operators’ operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, as well as the difference in how the pandemic may impact SNFs as opposed to ALFs, all of which developments and impacts are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to the speed with which the situation is developing, we are not able at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on our business, but the adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material.

The current 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 current administration or Congress could propose changes impacting implementation of the Healthcare Reform Law. The ultimate composition and timing of any legislation enacted under the current 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, repealed or repealed.interpreted.

Reform Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities.  On October 4, 2016,As part of the Healthcare Reform Law, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a final rule on October 4, 2016 modifying the conditions of participation in Medicare and Medicaid for SNFs.  The extensive changes included provisions related to staff training, discharge planning, infection prevention and control programs, and pharmacy services, among others. While many of the regulations have become effective, the implementation and enforcement of some provisions, particularly with respect to the Quality Assurance Program Improvement (“QAPI”) and compliance and ethics related requirements of the Phase 3 regulations may be delayed past the currentdid not become effective until November 28, 2019 effective date. 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.  2019.

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.

Reimbursement Changes Related to COVID-19.   SNFs have continued 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 through 2027.  However, the CARES Act temporarily suspends Medicare sequestration for the period of May 1 through December 31, 2020, resulting in an increase in fee-for-service Medicare payments by approximately 2% as compared to what providers would have otherwise received during this period. In exchange for this temporary suspension, the CARES Act also extends the mandatory sequestration policy by an additional one year, i.e., through 2030. On March 18, 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act was enacted, which provides a temporary 6.2% increase to each qualifying state and territory’s Medicaid Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (“FMAP”) effective January 1, 2020.  The temporary FMAP increase will extend through the last day of the calendar quarter in which the COVID-19 public health emergency declared by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), including any extensions, terminates. As part of the requirements for receiving the temporary FMAP increase, states must cover testing services and treatments for COVID-19 and may not impose deductibles, copayments, coinsurance or other cost sharing charges for any quarter in which the temporary increased FMAP is claimed.

Additionally, the CARES Act allocates $100 billion to a Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund to “reimburse, through grants or other mechanisms, eligible health care providers for health care related expenses or lost revenues that are attributable to coronavirus.” Nursing facility operators participating in Medicare and Medicaid may be eligible to receive compensation for costs incurred in the course of providing medical services, such as those related to obtaining personal protecting equipment, COVID-19 related testing supplies, and increased staffing or training, provided that such costs are not compensated by another source.  While “lost revenue” is not defined in the CARES Act, it is anticipated that it could include lost revenue due to a decrease in resident census or a change in the margin of services provided to residents.  The secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services has broad authority and discretion to determine payment eligibility and the amount of such payments. Further, Congress appropriated $75 billion for healthcare providers through the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. HHS is distributing this money through the Provider Relief Fund, and these payments do not need to be repaid. While we believe that to date, the payouts under the Provider Relief Fund and Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund have primarily benefited Medicare providers as opposed to Medicaid providers and have provided limited support to senior housing operators, we cannot predict the extent to which any of our operators will receive such funds, and what the financial impact of receiving such funds would be on their operations.    

The CARES Act additionally provided payroll tax relief for employers allowing them to defer payment of employer Social Security taxes that are otherwise owed for wage payments made after March 27, 2020 through the end of the calendar year. Instead of depositing these taxes on a next-day or semi-weekly basis, the deposit due date for 50% of the taxes is deferred to December 31, 2021, with the remaining 50% deferred until December 31, 2022.

In an effort to increase cash flow to providers impacted by COVID-19, CMS had temporarily expanded the Accelerated and Advance Payment Programs on March 28, 2020. CMS is authorized to provide accelerated or advance payments during the period of the public health emergency to any Medicare provider or supplier who submits a request to the appropriate Medicare Administrative Contractor (“MAC”) and meets the required qualifications. Traditionally repayment of these advance/accelerated payments is set to begin at 90 days, however CMS has extended the repayment of these accelerated/advance payments to begin 120 days after the date of issuance of the payment. However, CMS announced  on April 26, 2020 that it would not be accepting any new applications for the Advance Payment Program and would be reevaluating all pending and new applications for Accelerated Payments in consideration of the direct payments made available to providers through the HHS Provider Relief Fund.  We cannot predict the impact of these programs on the business or financial condition of any of our operators. In addition to COVID-19 reimbursement changes, the current administration announced several quality of care related initiatives on April 30, 2020 related to addressing the COVID-19 pandemic in long-term care facilities.  One of the initiatives is the formation of the Coronavirus Commission for Safety and Quality in Nursing Homes, a special task force created for the purpose of addressing the rising death toll of residents in nursing homes.  The task force will be composed of leading industry experts, doctors and scientists, resident and patient advocates, family members, infection and prevention control specialists, and state and local authorities.  A second announcement was made which advised that the Federal Emergency Management Agency would begin shipping two weeks’ worth of personal protective equipment (“PPE”) to each of the nation’s 15,400 nursing homes, with all nursing homes receiving a total of 14 days’ worth of PPE no later than July 4, 2020.  Quantities shipped will be based on facility staffing levels and PPE usage rates.  The current administration additionally released an interim final regulation regarding the requirement for nursing home operators to report COVID-19-related data directly to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in addition to CMS. Nursing home providers will be required to report infections and death data at least weekly to federal authorities, and by 5 p.m. the next day to residents and family members.  An additional announcement was made that CMS will provide states with $81 million from the CARES Act to increase their inspections of nursing homes.

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 current administration or Congress, may result in significant changes in healthcare spending at the state level.  Additionally, the need to control Medicaid expenditures may be exacerbated by the potential for increased enrollment in Medicaid due to unemployment and declines in family incomes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Since our operators’ profit margins on Medicaid patients are generally relatively low, more than modest reductions in Medicaid reimbursement or an increase in the percentage of Medicaid patients could adversely affect our operators’ results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could negatively impact us.

In the state of Florida, the average Medicaid reimbursement rate for SNFs decreased 4.5% effective July 1, 2019, resulting from the loss of one-time discretionary funding applied to October 1, 2018 Florida Medicaid reimbursement rates to cover the impact of hold-harmless provisions in the new, price-based Prospective Payment System (“PPS”) enacted by Florida at that time.  However, the net impact of this rate decrease was to revert the average rate approximately to the pre-PPS, cost-based level as of September 30, 2018, which we believe operators can generally address with operational adjustments to maintain coverage levels.  A smaller discretionary increase effective October 1, 2019 will increase the average rate by 0.7%.  When the transition hold-harmless provisions expire on September 30, 2021, the PPS rates will no longer be dependent on discretionary funding levels. At September 30, 2019, 10%March 31, 2020, 14% of our investments were in Florida.

TableTexas, which represents 10% of Contentsour investments as of March 31, 2020, presents a difficult operating environment for SNF operators as a result of lower statewide occupancy levels, as compared to other states, and a Medicaid rate reimbursement that we believe is among the lowest in the United States.  Several of our operators have experienced lower operating margins on their SNFs in Texas, as compared to other states, as a result of the foregoing and labor costs.  

Additionally, in mid-November 2019, CMS proposed the Medicaid Fiscal Accountability Rule (“MFAR”), which would modify and refine the current federal portion of Medicaid funding for two programs commonly referred to as the upper payment limit (“UPL”) and provider taxes.  As proposed, MFAR would further regulate and in some cases materially reform, eliminate or prompt the replacement of certain state Medicaid supplemental payment systems and other allowable financing arrangements that currently benefit healthcare providers. We have operators in two states, Indiana and Texas, that participate in UPL programs and operators in 36 states who received provider tax reimbursements as of March 31, 2020. Based on our analysis of MFAR and discussions with our operators and other industry leaders, we believe MFAR as proposed would eliminate the incremental UPL funds and that most, if not all, states are or will be able to become compliant under the revised provider tax program. We cannot estimate the ultimate potential impact of MFAR on our facilities in Indiana and Texas at this time, in part as we expect any reductions in revenues may be at least partially offset by expense reductions.   The proposed MFAR is currently in a comment period and may be changed before a final rule is adopted, or may not be adopted at all.  If ultimately implemented, MFAR could reduce reimbursement to our operators in those states affected by the rule, which could ultimately have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of those operators. 

Medicare.  On July 30, 2019, CMS issued a final rule regarding the government fiscal year (“FY”) 2020 Medicare payment rates and quality payment programs for SNFs,  which continues the trend of shifting Medicare payments from volume to value.  CMS projectswith aggregate payments projected to SNFs will increase by $851 million, or 2.4 percent, for FY 2020 compared to FY 2019. This estimated reimbursement increase is attributable to a 2.8% market basket increase factor with a 0.4% reduction for the multifactor productivity adjustment mandated by the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (“IMPACT Act”), the. 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”).  The CMS also adopted two new quality measures in FY 2020 to assess whether certain health information is provided by the SNF at the time of transfer or discharge.  The two measures are: 1) Transfer of Health Information to the Provider-Post-Acute Care and 2) Transfer of Health Information to the Patient-Post-Acute Care.

Payments to providers are being increasingly tied to quality and efficiency.  The Patient DriveDriven Payment Model (“PDPM”), which was designed by CMS to improve the incentives to treat the needs of the whole patient, rather than the volume of services the patient receives, became effective October 1, 2019 (FY 2020).  The PDPM replaces the previous SNF prospective payment system that utilized the Resource Utilization Group IV case-mix methodology to classify SNF patients based on the volume of services received with a methodology that utilizes the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (“ICD-10”) to classify SNF patients into certain payment groups based on their clinical disease state.  Effective October 1, 2019, group therapy is defined as a qualified rehabilitation therapist or therapy assistant treating two to six patients at the same time who are performing the same or similar activities. Also effective October 1, 2019, CMS established a 25% cap for concurrent and group therapy.

These prospective  Additional changes to 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,group therapy were included in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, which permanently repealed the therapy caps that applied to Medicare Part B therapy services provided as of January 1, 2018.2018 and 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.  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 in the medical record.  The industry estimates that

While certain of our operators could realize efficiencies and cost savings from increased concurrent and group therapy under PDPM and some have reported some early positive results, it is too early to assess the long-term impact of the PDPM. Given the current and ongoing impacts of COVID-19, many operators are and may continue to be restricted from pursuing concurrent and group therapy and unable to realize 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 servicesbenefits. Additionally, our operators continue to maintain beneficiary quality of care levels. However, these changes reducedadapt to the reimbursement rate forchanges and other payment reforms resulting from the value-based purchasing programs applicable to SNFs under the 2014 Protecting Access to Medicare Part B therapy services performed by therapy assistantsAct, which became effective on October 1, 2018.  These reimbursement changes could have an adverse effect on our operators’ financial condition and operations, adversely impacting their ability to 85% of the physician fee schedule beginning January 1, 2022.meet their obligations to us. 

Quality of Care Initiatives.  In addition to quality or value based reimbursement reforms, CMS has implemented a number of initiatives focused on the reporting of certain facility specific quality of care provided by long term care facilitiesindicators that could affect our operators. InSince December 2008, CMS has publicly 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.

Table of Contents

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 additionalRecent 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 the 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 was 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, theThe Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) began updatinghas provided long-standing guidance for SNFs regarding compliance with federal fraud and abuse laws.  More recently, the OIG has conducted increased oversight activities and issued additional guidance regarding its Work Plan website monthly in orderfindings related 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 indicatedidentified 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 has additionally included a review ofreviewed the staffing levels reported by SNFs as part of its August 2018 and February 2019 Work Plan updates, as well asand included a continuing review of involuntary transfers and discharges from nursing homes in itsthe June 2019 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, regionalupdates.  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 ensuring the quality of care being rendered to residents and appropriate billing practices.practices conducted by the facility. The Department of Justice (“DOJ”) 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”),HHS, State Adult Protective Services agencies, Long Term Care Ombudsmen programs, and law enforcement.  The DOJ has indicated that it is seeking to enhance the work of the Elder Justice Initiative to identify potential criminal charges when they uncover false claims for government reimbursements of care.  The DOJ’s civil division has historically used the False Claims Act to pursue nursing homes that bill the federal government for services not rendered or care that is grossly substandard.

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,OIG, 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.  In addition, MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc., which we acquired in May 2019, has responded to a Civil Investigative Demand from the Department of Justice in connection with Lakeway Regional Medical Center. See Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Financial Statements - Part I, Item 1 hereto..

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 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 recordTable of $23.5 million from 2016 by 22 percent.  Contents

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 in recent years 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,Effective November 28, 2016, CMS prohibitedhad instituted a prohibition against the use of 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.  The final rule issued by CMS onOn July 16, 2019, CMS lifted the ban on pre-dispute arbitration agreements offered to residents at the time of admission butprovided that certain requirements are met.  The rule prohibits providers from requiring residents to sign thembinding arbitration agreements as a condition for receiving care. The final rule also mandatescare and requires that providers specifically inform residents or their representatives that they are not required to agree to a binding arbitration agreement. Further, the agreement mustagreements specifically grant residents the explicit right to rescind the agreement within thirty (30) calendar days of signing it.signing.  In addition, certain states have enacted protections from certain types of liability in connection with the provision of COVID-19 related services provided by SNFs and other healthcare providers.

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, 2018.2019.  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 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, 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, 2018,2019, except for the changes that resulted from the adoption of the new leasecredit loss accounting standard on January 1, 2019,2020, as discussed in detail in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, section “Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019”2020” of these unaudited consolidated financial statements under Part 1, Item 1 of this report and the accompanying discussion of the new leasecredit loss 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, 2018.2019.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 20192020

In FebruaryJune 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 the previous 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 record an adjustment as of January 1, 2019.  During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we made an adjustment of approximately $8.5 million to the equity balance as of April 1, 2019 to reflect our assessment of the collectability of certain operator’s future contractual lease payments based on the facts and circumstances that existed as of January 1, 2019. Additionally, our leases met the criteria in Topic 842 to not separate non-lease components from the related lease component.  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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $3.3 million and $9.8 million, respectively, of rental income and $3.9 million and $11.8 million, respectively, of real estate tax expense in our Consolidated Statements 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of rental income and $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of ground lease expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.  

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

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 standardadopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach.  We continueUpon adoption, we recorded an initial $28.8 million allowance for expected credit losses with a corresponding adjustment to evaluate the impactequity.

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 September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 totaled $233.2$253.0 million, an increase of $11.3$29.3 million over the same period in 2018.2019.  The $11.3$29.3 million increase was primarily the result of (i) a $20.6$10.3 million increase in rental income resulting from the May 17, 2019, merger with MedEquities Merger,Realty Trust, Inc. (the “MedEquities Merger”), $18.1 million of rental income from the October 31, 2019, $735 million acquisition of 60 SNFs (the “Encore Portfolio Acquisition”) and $0.9 million of additional revenuerental income from other facility acquisitions, facilities placed in service, facility transitions and lease amendments in 2018 and 2019 and $3.3 million of property tax revenue2020, offset by decreases in rental income resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, offset by an approximate $10.8 million decrease due to placing certain operators on afacility sales and rent from cash basis operators and (ii) a $1.4$1.6 million increase in mortgage income primarily related to mortgages acquired in the MedEquities Merger and new loans or notes and additional funding to existing operators made throughout 20182019 and 2019.2020. These increases were partially offset by a $0.3$1.3 million decrease in other investment income.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019, totaled $99.1 million, a decrease of approximately $6.7 million over the same period in 2018.  The $6.7 million decrease was primarily due to: (i) $3.8 million net impairment charges on four facilities in the third quarter of 2019, as compared to a $22.9 million impairment on real estate properties in the same period of 2018 and (ii) a $0.5 million decrease in general and administrative expenses.  These decreases were partially offset by (i) a $6.0 million increase in depreciation expense primarily resulting from the MedEquities Merger and other facility acquisitions, (ii) a $3.9 million increase related to real estate tax expense resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, (iii) a $2.0 million change in recovery for uncollectible accounts resulting from payments from Orianna Health Systems (“Orianna”) and (iv) a $0.9 million increase in acquisition and merger related costs from the MedEquities Merger.  

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, total other expenses were $52.2 million, an increase of approximately $1.0 million over the same period in 2018.  The increase was due to a $2.1 million increase in interest expenseincome primarily related to higher average credit facility borrowings and issuing $500 million of 3.625% Senior Notesa deed in the third quarter of 2019,lieu transitioned to leased property offset by a $1.2 million decrease in interest income and other - net primarily related to the change in the fair value of warrants to acquire shares of another public company.

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $682.2 million, an increase of $20.2 million over the same period in 2018.  The $20.2 million increase was primarily the result of (i) a $43.8 million increase in rental income resulting from the MedEquities Merger, additional revenue from other facility acquisitions, facilities placed in service, facility transitions and lease amendments in 2018 and 2019, and $9.8 million of property tax revenue resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, offset by an approximate $44.9 million decrease primarily related to facilities sales and placing certain operators on a cash basis, (ii) a $5.2 million increase in other investment income and (iii) a $5.0 million increase in mortgage income related to the MedEquities Merger, new loans or notes and additional funding to existing operators made throughout 20182019 and 2019.  These increases were partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in the direct financing lease income related to a facility sale in the second quarter of 2018.2020.

National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts Funds From Operations

Our funds from operations (“Nareit FFO”) for the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was $163.1$181.0 million compared to $160.6$144.1 million for the same period in 2018.  Our Nareit FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $464.4 million compared to $462.5 million for the same period in 2018.2019.  

52

Table of Contents

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 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.

58

Table of Contents

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.

The following table presents our Nareit FFO results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and 2018:2019:

(1)The cash yield is based on the purchase price.
(2)The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.  The Company estimated the fair value of the real estate investments acquired on the acquisition date based on certain valuation analyses that have yet to be finalized, and accordingly, the real estate investments acquired, as detailed, are subject to adjustment once the analysis is completed. The other acquisitions were accounted for as asset acquisitions.

On May 17, 2019, Omega and Omega OP completed the MedEquities Realty Trust Inc. (“MedEquities”) Merger.  In accordance with the Merger Agreement, each share of MedEquities common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.235 of a share of Omega common stock plus the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Omega common stock, and (ii) an amount in cash equal to $2.00 (the “Cash Consideration”).  In connection with the MedEquities Merger, we issued approximately 7.5 million shares of Omega common stock and paid approximately $63.7 million of cash consideration to former MedEquities stockholders.  We borrowed approximately $350 million under our existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility to fund the cash consideration and the repayment of MedEquities’ previously outstanding debt.  As a result of the MedEquities Merger, we acquired 33 facilities subject to operating leases, four mortgages, three other investments and an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.  We also acquired other assets and assumed debt and other liabilities.  Based on the closing price of our common stock on May 16, 2019, the fair value of the consideration exchanged approximated $346 million.

The MedEquities facilities acquired in 2019 are included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized approximately $14.0 million of total revenue from the assets acquired in connection with the MedEquities Merger.  For the period from May 17, 2019 through September 30, 2019, we recognized approximately $21.1 million of total revenue from the assets acquired in connection with the MedEquities Merger.  

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred approximately $0.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, of acquisition and merger related costs associated with the MedEquities Merger.  

Investment in Consolidated Joint Venture

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.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

On May 17, 2019, in connection with the MedEquities Merger, we acquired a 51% ownership interest in Lakeway Realty, L.L.C. (the “Lakeway Partnership”), a joint venture that owns the Lakeway Regional Medical Center (the “Lakeway Hospital”).  The other 49% interest is owned indirectly by a physicians group and a non-physician investor.  The Lakeway Hospital is an acute care hospital located in Lakeway, Texas. The Lakeway Partnership is also a lessor under a ground lease for a medical office building which is part of the Lakeway Hospital campus.  On the merger date, the Company’s ownership interest in the Lakeway Partnership had a fair value of approximately $73.8 million.  Our investment in the Lakeway Partnership consists primarily of real estate.  We estimated the fair value of the underlying real estate considering the lessees’ purchase option (Level 1) which is discussed in more detail below, third-party appraisals and discounted cash flows associated with the ground lease (Level 3).  Our initial basis difference of approximately $69.9 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years to income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.  We account for our investment in this joint venture using the equity method.  The accounting policies for this unconsolidated joint venture are the same as those of the Company.  

The Company also acquired a first mortgage lien issued to Lakeway Partnership in the original principal amount of approximately $73.0 million bearing interest at 8% per annum based on a 25-year amortization schedule and maturing on March 20, 2025.  We have determined the acquisition date fair value of the acquired mortgage is $69.1 million.

The Lakeway Hospital  is leased pursuant to a triple-net lease to Scott & White Hospital – Round Rock (the “Baylor Lessee”), with Baylor University Medical Center (“BUMC”) as guarantor. These entities are part of the Baylor Scott & White Health system.  The lease provides that, commencing after completion of the third year of the lease (effective September 1, 2019) and subject to certain conditions, the Baylor Lessee has the option to purchase the Lakeway Hospital at a price equal to the aggregate base rent payable under the lease for the 12-month period following the date of the written notice from the Baylor Lessee to exercise the purchase option divided by (i) 6.5% if written notice is provided after completion of the third lease year and before completion of the tenth lease year or (ii) 7.0% if written notice is provided any time thereafter. In addition, the Baylor Lessee has a right of first refusal and a right of first offer in the event that the joint venture intends to sell or otherwise transfer Lakeway Hospital.  

Other Development

On October 31, 2019, we completed the previously announced $735 million Encore Portfolio acquisition of 60 facilities.  Consideration consisted of approximately $346 million of cash and the assumption of approximately $389 million in mortgage loans guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.  These loans have a blended “all-in” rate (interest rates and mortgage insurance premiums) of 3.66% per annum with maturities between September 2046 and December 2051.

The 60 facilities in the Encore Portfolio, consisting of 58 SNFs and two ALFs representing 6,590 operating beds, are located in Florida (37), North Carolina (8), Mississippi (6), Louisiana (4), Idaho (2), Kentucky (1), Missouri (1) and Montana (1).  The facilities are leased to two operators within three triple net leases providing for approximately $64 million in 2020 annual contractual cash rent.

On October 30, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase from Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (formerly HCP, Inc.) its 49% joint venture interest in a U.K. portfolio consisting of 67 senior housing facilities, as well as related development and working capital loans, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $90 million.  Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.  No assurance can be given as to when or if the closing conditions will be satisfied and the transaction will be completed.

Asset Held for Sale

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we have foureight facilities, totaling $2.2$24.1 million classified as assets held for sale. We expect to sell these facilities over the next twelve months.

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

Asset Sales

During the first quarter of 2019,2020, we sold one facility which was previously held for sale at December 31, 2018six facilities subject to operating leases for approximately $0.4$18.1 million in net cash proceeds recognizing a net gain of approximately $3,000.  

During the second quarter of 2019, we sold three facilities subject to operating leases and a parcel of land for approximately $8.6 million in net cash proceeds recognizing a net loss of approximately $0.3$1.8 million.  

During the third quarter of 2019, we sold 19 facilities (three were previously held for sale at June 30, 2019 and ten were previously leased to Diversicare Healthcare Services, Inc. at June 30, 2019) for approximately $177.0 million in net cash proceeds recognizing a net gain of approximately $53.1 million.  

Impairments

During the secondfirst quarter of 2019,2020, we recorded impairments on real estate properties of approximately $7.6$3.6 million on twothree facilities. Our second quarter 2019 impairments were offset by $1.9 million of insurance proceeds received related to a facility that was destroyed by a storm.

During the third quarter of 2019, we recorded impairments of approximately $5.7 million on four facilities of which three were subsequently reclassified to assets held for sale.  Our third quarter 2019 impairments were offset by $1.8 million of insurance proceeds received related to two facilities that were previously destroyed.

Our recorded impairments were primarily the result of decisions to exit certain non-strategic facilities and/or operators.  We reduced the net book value of the impaired facilities to their estimated fair values.  To estimate the fair value of the facilities, we utilized a market approach which considered binding sale agreements (a Level 1 input) and/or  non-binding offers from unrelated third parties and/or broker quotes (a Level 3 input).

Contractual Receivables and Other Receivables and Lease Inducements

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we have approximately $27.6$27.4 million of contractual receivables outstanding. Of the $27.6$27.4 million of contractual receivables outstanding, approximately $18.0$18.2 million relates to Agemo Holdings LLC (“Agemo”Agemo,” an entity formed in May 2018 to silo the leases and loans formerly held by Signature Healthcare). In addition to the contractual receivables, we have approximately $49.2$57.7 million of straight-line rent receivables and/or lease inducements associated with Agemo as of September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.  In May 2018, we reached an out-of-court restructuring agreement with Agemo that provided for the deferral of rent, the extension of the maturity of our lease and loans, and a working capital loan. If Agemo’s operations deteriorate and they are unable to meet their contractual obligations to us, we may be required to account for rental income from them on a cash basis and reserve approximately $75.9 million of contractual receivables, straight-line rent receivables and lease inducements. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded rental income of approximately $15.3 million and $14.8 million, respectively, and other investment income of $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, from Agemo.

In addition, we have accounted for Daybreak Venture LLC (“Daybreak”) is on a cash basis of accounting for purposessince 2017. See “Daybreak” below. We have written-off our contractual rents receivable, straight-line rents receivable and lease inducements, and therefore, we have no net receivables or inducements related to Daybreak as of revenue recognition, see additional discussion below.March 31, 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,March 31, 2020, we recorded approximately $16.3 million and $22.7 million ofdid not record any rental income respectively, and $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of other investment income from these operators.Daybreak.

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.  

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 Sheets.  For the period from January 16, 2019 through September 30, 2019, we received approximately $88 million from the Trust as a partial liquidation. No liquidation proceeds were received during the three months ended September 30, 2019.    

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 during the three months ended March 31, 2019, reducing our remaining receivablewe recorded rental income of $5.4 million from the Trust to approximately $21.1 million as of March 31, 2019.  As of September 30, 2019, our remaining receivable from the Trust is $19.1 million.  As of September 30, 2019, the Trust was comprised of $19.5 million of cash and $3.0 million of net accounts receivable.  We expect that the aggregate of such amounts will be used toDaybreak.  

Daybreak

Daybreak did not pay estimated costs of $3.4 million to other creditors and to wind down the Trust, with the remainder paid to us.  The amount payableany rent to us is contingent uponduring 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.  

During the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2020.  Additionally, we placedrecorded impairments of approximately $1.7 million on two Daybreak on a cash basis for revenue recognition as a resultfacilities that we expect to sell in 2020.  We transitioned five Daybreak facilities to existing operators and two additional facilities transitioned from Daybreak to one of nonpaymentthose existing operators in the second quarter of funds owed to us.2020.  During the fourth quarter of 2017,2019, we executed a Settlement and Forbearance Agreement withtransitioned two Daybreak which permitted Daybreakfacilities to defer payments up to 23% of theiran existing operator. The total annual contractual rent forfrom the remainder of 2017, subject to certain conditions.  Duringnine transferred facilities is approximately $4.0 million.  Over the fourth quarter of 2018, Daybreak fell behind on rent by 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,next several quarters, 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.  With the exception of $1.1 million in required real estate tax escrows, Daybreak met their contractual payment obligations through the second quarter of 2019; however, during the third quarter of 2019, Daybreak did not meet their full contractual payment obligations to us as we received $750,000 of cash rent.  

During the third quarter of 2019, Daybreak continued to face liquidity challenges and their operational performance continued to deteriorate as a result of lower occupancy, a decline in quality-mix, ongoing labor pressure and significant legacy operating costs.

We expect Daybreak to benefit from (i) the addition of 26 Omega facilities into the Texas quality incentive payment program (“QIPP”), (ii) the implementation of PDPM and (iii) the 2.4% Medicare rate increase.  However, we do not expect these developments to significantly improve Daybreak’s liquidity before the first quarter of 2020.

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.

For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we paid dividends of approximately $417.3$154.6 million, to our common stockholders.  On the 1514th of February May and August 2019,2020, we paid dividends of $0.66$0.67 per outstanding common share to common stockholders of record as of last business day of January April and July 2019, respectively.2020.  For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, Omega OP paid distributions of approximately $17.1$7.3 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, existing equity sales programs, 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.

6556

Table of Contents

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 $42.2$352.0 million as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, an increase of $30.6$318.6 million as compared to the balance at December 31, 2018.2019.

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 September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. 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 September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

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.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has led governments and other authorities in the U.S., U.K. and around the world to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders.

Our investmentsWe believe many of our operators are incurring significant cost increases as a result of the pandemic, with dramatic increases for facilities with positive cases. We believe these increases primarily stem from elevated labor costs, including increased use of overtime and bonus pay, as well as a significant increase in a consolidated joint ventureboth the cost and unconsolidated joint ventures couldusage of personal protective equipment and supplies. In terms of occupancy levels, we believe many of our operators are experiencing declines, in part due to the elimination of elective hospital procedures. To the extent these trends continue or accelerate and are not offset by sufficient or timely government relief, the operating results of our operators are likely to be adversely affected, by our lacksome may be unwilling or unable to pay their contractual obligations to us in full or on a timely basis and we may be unable to restructure such obligations on terms as favorable to us as those currently in place.  Even if operators are able to avail themselves of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on our joint venture partners’ financial condition, any disputes thatgovernment relief to offset some of these costs, they may arise between usface challenges in complying with the terms and our joint venture partners,conditions of government support and our exposuremay face longer-term adverse impacts to potential lossestheir personnel and business operations from the actions of our joint venture partners.pandemic, including potential patient litigation and decreased demand for their services.

AsNumerous state, local, federal and industry-initiated efforts may also affect landlords’ and/or mortgagees’ ability to collect payments due or enforce remedies for the failure to pay amounts due. Certain of September 30, 2019, we own a parcel of land through a consolidated joint venture with the intention of building a MOB. As of September 30, 2019, we also have an approximate 15% ownership interest in an unconsolidated joint venture that owns 37 SNFs and a 51% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture that owns an acute care hospital. These joint ventures involve risks not present with respect to our wholly owned properties, including the following:

We may be unable to take actions that are opposed by our joint venture partners under arrangements that require us to share decision-making authority over major decisions affecting the ownership or operation of the joint venture and any property owned by the joint venture, such as the sale or financing of the property or the making of additional capital contributions for the benefit of the property;
For joint ventures in which we have a noncontrolling interest, our joint venture partners may take actions that we oppose;
Our ability to sell or transfer our interest in a joint venture to a third party may be restricted if we fail to obtain the prior consent of our joint venture partners;
Our joint venture partners may become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions, which could delay construction or development of a property or increase our financial commitment to the joint venture;
Our joint venture partners may have business interests or goals with respect to a property that conflict with our business interests and goals, including with respect to the timing, terms and strategies for investment, which could increase the likelihood of disputes regarding the ownership, management or disposition of the property;
Disagreements with our joint venture partners could result in litigation or arbitration that increases our expenses, distracts our officers and directors, and disrupts the day-to-day operations of the property, including by delaying important decisions until the dispute is resolved; and
We may suffer losses as a result of actions taken by our joint venture partners with respect to our joint venture investments.

The vote by the U.K. to leave the European Union could adversely affect us.

The United Kingdom’s (“U.K.”) referendum on withdrawal from the European Union (“E.U.”) on June 23, 2016 (referred to as “Brexit”), and subsequent notification of the U.K.’s intention to withdraw from the E.U. given on March 29, 2017, have adversely impacted global markets and foreign currencies.

The intention to withdraw began a two-year negotiating period to establish the withdrawal terms. The negotiations period has currently been extended to January 31, 2020.  The U.K. and the E.U. have agreed to a Withdrawal Agreement, but such agreement has not received the approval of the U.K. House of Commons as required under domestic U.K. legislation.  The Withdrawal Agreement, if passed, includes, among other things, a transition period for the implementation of the withdrawal during which it is contemplated that the terms of future trade between the U.K. and the E.U. would be negotiated.  The U.K. General Election onyear ended December 12, 2019 may have a significant impact on whether the Withdrawal Agreement is approved by the House of Commons. If the Withdrawal Agreement is not approved, the U.K.’s separation still becomes effective if either the U.K. passes legislation to withdraw its previous notification of its intent to withdraw or unless all E.U. members unanimously agree on a further extension.31, 2019.

The effectsCOVID-19 pandemic has also caused, and is likely to continue to cause, severe economic, market and other disruptions worldwide. We cannot assure you that conditions in the bank lending, capital and other financial markets will not continue to deteriorate as a result of Brexitthe pandemic, or that our access to capital and other sources of funding will not become constrained, which could adversely affect the availability and terms of future borrowings, renewals or refinancing.  In addition, our employees may be impacted directly or indirectly by the pandemic and we may be required to make changes to our internal controls as a result of changes in our business processes or personnel; any such changes may increase our operational and financial reporting risks.

The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our and our operators’ operational and financial performance will depend on many factors,future developments, including the natureduration, spread and intensity of any agreements that the U.K. makesoutbreak, all of which are uncertain and difficult to retain accesspredict.

Customs Union either during a transitional period or more permanently. Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the U.K. determines which E.U. laws to replace or replicate. In a “hard Brexit” scenario, there could be increased costs from re-imposition of tariffsthese factors on goods traded between the U.K. and E.U., shipping delays because of the need for customs inspections and procedures (which may be severe in the near term given the lack of infrastructure or preparedness for such inspections and procedures), and temporary shortages of certain goods. In addition, trade and investment between the U.K., the E.U., the United States and other countries will be impacted by the fact that the U.K. currently operates under the E.U.’s treaties. The U.K. will need to negotiate its own trade treaties with countries all over the world, which could take years to complete. In addition, the uncertainty related to Brexit has caused foreign exchange rate fluctuations in the past, including the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and British Pound Sterling immediately following the announcement of Brexit. The implementation of, or further developments with respect to, Brexit could further impact foreign exchange rates, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

While we cannot anticipatebut the outcome of these future negotiations, effects could include uncertainty regarding tax exemptions and reliefs within the E.U., as well as expected changes in tariffs and laws or regulations which could materially and adversely affectadverse impact on our business, future business opportunities, results of operations, financial condition liquidity and cash flows.

flows could be material. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our or operators’ results of operations and financial condition, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Table of ContentsForm 10-K

Risks Related to Forward Equity Sales Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Provisions contained in the forward equity sales agreement could result in substantial dilution to our earnings per share and return on equity or result in substantial cash payment obligations.

The forward purchaser will have the right to accelerate its forward equity sales agreement in certain events (with respect to all or any portion of the transaction under the forward equity sales agreement that the forward purchaser determines is affected by an event described below) and require us to settle on a date specified by the forward purchaser.

The forward purchaser’s decision to exercise its right to accelerate the settlement of the forward equity sales agreement will be made irrespective of our interests, including our need for capital. In such cases, we could be required to issue and deliver shares of our common stock under the physical settlement provisions of the forward equity sales agreement irrespective of our capital needs, which would result in dilution to our earnings per share and return on equity.

We expect that the forward equity sales agreement will settle no later than September 10, 2020.  However, the forward equity sales agreement may be settled earlier in whole or in part at our option. Subject to certain conditions, we generally have the right to elect physical, cash or net share settlement under the forward equity sales agreement. The forward equity sales agreement will be physically settled by delivery of shares of our common stock, unless we elect to cash settle or net share settle the forward equity sales agreement. Delivery of shares of our common stock upon physical settlement (or, if we elect net share settlement, upon such settlement to the extent we are obligated to deliver shares of our common stock) will result in dilution to our earnings per share and return on equity. If we elect cash settlement or net share settlement with respect to all or a portion of the shares of our common stock underlying the forward equity sales agreement, we expect the forward purchaser (or an affiliate thereof) to purchase a number of shares of our common stock in secondary market transactions over an unwind period to:

return shares of our common stock to securities lenders in order to unwind the forward purchaser’s hedge (after taking into consideration any shares of our common stock to be delivered by us to the forward purchaser, if applicable, in the case of net share settlement); and

if applicable, in the case of net share settlement, deliver shares of our common stock to us to the extent required in settlement of the forward equity sales agreement.

Table of Contents

The purchase of shares of our common stock in connection with the forward purchaser or its affiliate unwinding its hedge positions could cause the price of shares of our common stock to increase over such time (or prevent a decrease over such time), thereby increasing the amount of cash we would owe to the forward purchaser (or decreasing the amount of cash that the forward purchaser would owe us) upon a cash settlement of the forward equity sales agreement or increasing the number of shares of our common stock we would deliver to the forward purchaser (or decreasing the number of shares of our common stock that the forward purchaser would deliver to us) upon net share settlement of the forward equity sales agreement.

The forward sale price that we expect to receive upon physical settlement of the forward equity sales agreement will be subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate less a spread and will be decreased based on amounts related to expected dividends on our common stock during the term of the forward equity sales agreement. If the specified daily rate is less than the spread on any day, the interest factor will result in a daily reduction of the forward sale price.  If the prevailing market price for our common stock during the applicable unwind period under the forward equity sales agreement is above the relevant forward sale price, in the case of cash settlement, we would pay the forward purchaser an amount in cash equal to the difference or, in the case of net share settlement, we would deliver to the forward purchaser a number of shares of our common stock having a value equal to the difference. Thus, we could be responsible for a potentially substantial cash payment in the case of cash settlement.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the cash that we might receive from cash settlement of a forward equity sales agreement is unclear and could jeopardize our ability to meet the REIT qualification requirements.

We expect to settle the forward equity sales agreement by physical delivery of shares of our common stock, although we have the right to cash settle or net share settle the forward equity sales agreement. In the event that we elect to settle any forward equity sales agreement for cash and the settlement price is below the applicable forward sale price, we would be entitled to receive a cash payment from the relevant forward purchaser. Under Section 1032 of the Code, generally, no gains and losses are recognized by a corporation in dealings in its own shares, including pursuant to a “securities futures contract,” as defined in the Code by reference to the Exchange Act (as defined below). Although we believe that any amount received by us in exchange for our stock would qualify for the exemption under Section 1032 of the Code, because it is not entirely clear whether a forward equity sales agreement qualifies as a “securities futures contract,” the U.S. federal income tax treatment of any cash settlement payment we receive is uncertain. In the event that we recognize a significant gain from the cash settlement of a forward equity sales agreement, we might not be able to satisfy the gross income requirements applicable to REITs under the Code. In that case, we may be able to rely upon the relief provisions under the Code in order to avoid the loss of our REIT status. Even if the relief provisions apply, we will be subject to a 100% tax on an amount equal to the gross income attributable to the greater of  (i) the excess of 75% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) over the amount of such income attributable to sources that qualify under the 75% test or (ii) the excess of 95% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) over the amount of such gross income attributable to sources that qualify under the 95% test, multiplied in either case by a fraction intended to reflect our profitability. In the event that these relief provisions were not available, we could lose our REIT status under the Code.
