FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SABRA REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2012 RESULTS AND REAFFIRMS 2012 GUIDANCE.
IRVINE, CA, May 7, 2012 — Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. (“Sabra,” the “Company” or “we”) (NASDAQ:SBRA) today announced results of operations for the first quarter of 2012 and reaffirmed its 2012 guidance.
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
| • | For the first quarter, we posted FFO and AFFO of $0.32 and $0.38, respectively, per diluted share, and net income per diluted share of $0.12. |
| • | On March 15, 2012, we entered into a $10.0 million mezzanine loan agreement with an option to purchase three skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living facility located in Texas and owned by the borrowers. |
• | On March 30, 2012, we closed the purchase of two specialized skilled nursing facilities in a sale-leaseback transaction with affiliates of the sellers for $29.9 million. |
| • | On April 19, 2012, Moody's upgraded both Sabra's corporate credit rating and senior unsecured notes rating to 'B1' from 'B2', with a stable outlook. |
• | On April 24, 2012, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on May 31, 2012 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2012. |
Commenting on the first quarter results, Rick Matros, CEO and Chairman, said, "We are pleased with our recently announced transactions. Given those transactions and our existing pipeline, we are reaffirming our previously announced guidance for 2012. We do expect that in addition to completing transactions on stabilized skilled nursing and senior housing assets going forward, we will see our focus expanding to include development opportunities as well." Matros continued, "Our Facility EBITDAR coverage was lighter than the previous quarter simply due to seasonality and we expect a good rebound in coverage during the second quarter based on current numbers. Our Tenant EBITDAR coverage, which takes into account parent company lease guarantees, was 1.35x for the quarter. Sun's published first quarter consolidated EBITDAR coverage of 1.44x (1.36x before eliminating assets Sun has designated as held for sale), is in line with their expectations for the period. Mitigation execution continues to progress nicely with our operators and we fully expect Facility EBITDAR coverages to improve in the second quarter."
Performance for the First Quarter of 2012
During the first quarter of 2012, we recognized FFO of $11.7 million ($0.32 per diluted share) and AFFO of $14.0 million ($0.38 per diluted share), compared to FFO of $7.3 million ($0.29 per diluted share) and AFFO of $9.1 million ($0.35 per diluted share) for the same period in 2011. AFFO represents FFO excluding non-cash revenues (including straight-line rental income adjustments), non-cash expenses (including stock-based compensation expense and amortization of deferred financing costs) and acquisition pursuit costs, which aggregated to a net adjustment of $2.3 million ($0.06 per diluted share) for the period. During the first quarter of 2012, net income was $4.4 million ($0.12 per diluted share), compared to net income of $1.2 million ($0.05 per diluted share) for the same period in 2011. In addition, during the first quarter of 2012, we generated $16.5 million of cash flow from operations. We recognized rental income of $23.7 million during this period, and Facility EBITDAR Coverage and Tenant EBITDAR Coverage were 1.12x and 1.35x, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
LIQUIDITY
As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $202.7 million in liquidity, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $2.7 million and available borrowings of $200.0 million under our secured revolving credit facility.

OUTLOOK
For the full year 2012, we reaffirm our expectation that FFO will range between $1.53 and $1.58 per diluted common share, AFFO will range between $1.71 and $1.76 per diluted common share and net income will range between $0.64 and $0.68 per diluted common share.

DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, FFO, AFFO, normalized AFFO, FFO per diluted share, AFFO per diluted share and normalized AFFO per diluted share, which are reconciled to net income, which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure. We believe that the use of FFO, AFFO and Normalized AFFO (and the related per share amounts), combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful.
EBITDA. The real estate industry uses earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure, as a measure of both operating performance and liquidity. The Company uses EBITDA to measure both its operating performance and liquidity. By excluding interest expense, EBITDA allows investors to measure the Company’s operating performance independent of its capital structure and indebtedness and, therefore, allows for a more meaningful comparison of its operating performance between quarters as well as annual periods and to compare its operating performance to that of other companies, both in the real estate industry and in other industries. As a liquidity measure, the Company believes that EBITDA helps investors analyze the Company’s ability to meet its interest payments on outstanding debt. The Company believes investors should consider EBITDA in conjunction with net income (the primary measure of the Company’s performance) and the other required GAAP measures of its performance and liquidity, to improve their understanding of the Company’s operating results and liquidity, and to make more meaningful comparisons of its performance between periods and against other companies. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should be used in conjunction with the Company’s required GAAP presentations. EBITDA does not reflect the Company’s historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. While EBITDA is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance and liquidity, it does not represent net income or cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and it should not be considered as an alternative to those indicators in evaluating operating performance or liquidity. Further, the Company’s computation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.
Facility EBITDAR(M). Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent (“EBITDAR”) and management fees ("EBITDARM") for a particular facility accruing to the operator/tenant of the property (not the Company), for the period presented. The Company uses Facility EBITDAR(M) in determining Facility EBITDAR(M) Coverages. Facility EBITDAR(M) has limitations as an analytical tool. Facility EBITDAR(M) does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for facility capital expenditures or contractual commitments. In addition, Facility EBITDAR(M) does not represent a property’s net income or cash flow from operations and should not be considered an alternative to those indicators. However, the Company receives periodic financial information from operators/tenants regarding the performance of the Company’s facilities under the operator’s/tenant’s management. The Company utilizes Facility EBITDAR(M) as a supplemental measure of the ability of those properties to generate sufficient liquidity to meet related obligations to the Company and EBITDARM in particular to evaluate the core operations of the properties by eliminating management fees, which vary based on operator/tenant and its operating structure. All facility financial performance data was derived solely from information provided by operators/tenants and borrowers without independent verification by the Company. All facility financial performance data are presented one month in arrears. The Company includes Facility EBITDAR(M) for a property if it was operated at any time during the period presented subject to a lease with the Company. Facility EBITDAR(M) for facilities with new tenants/operators (Aurora, Encore and Creekside) are only included in periods subsequent to our acquisition of the facilities.
Facility EBITDAR(M) Coverage. Facility EBITDAR(M) for the trailing 3 and 12 month periods prior to and including the period presented divided by the same period cash rent. Facility EBITDAR(M) coverage is a supplemental measure of a property’s ability to generate cash flows for the operator/tenant (not the Company) to meet the operator’s/tenant’s related cash rent and other obligations to the Company. However, its usefulness is limited by, among other things, the same factors that limit the usefulness of Facility EBITDAR(M). All facility financial performance data were derived solely from information provided by operators/tenants and borrowers without independent verification by the Company. All facility financial performance data are presented one month in arrears.
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”). The Company believes that net income as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. The Company also believes that Funds From Operations, or FFO, as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, (and related per share amounts) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a real estate investment trust. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a real estate investment trust that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items,

DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
from net income, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding non-cash revenues (including straight-line rental income adjustments and amortization of acquired above/below market lease intangibles), non-cash expenses (including stock-based compensation expense and amortization of deferred financing costs) and acquisition pursuit costs. The Company believes that the use of FFO and AFFO (and the related per share amounts), combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. The Company considers FFO and AFFO to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, and, for AFFO, by excluding non-cash revenues (including straight-line rental income adjustments and amortization of acquired above/below market lease intangibles), non-cash expenses (including stock-based compensation expense and amortization of deferred financing costs) and acquisition pursuit costs, FFO and AFFO can help investors compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies. While FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. FFO and AFFO also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to the Company’s real estate assets nor do they purport to be indicative of cash available to fund the Company’s future cash requirements. Further, the Company’s computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO reported by other real estate investment trusts that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define AFFO differently from the Company.
Normalized AFFO. Normalized AFFO represents AFFO adjusted for one-time start-up costs and non-recurring income and expenses. The Company considers normalized AFFO to be a useful measure to evaluate the Company’s operating results excluding start-up costs and non-recurring income and expenses. Normalized AFFO can help investors compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies. Normalized AFFO does not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. Normalized AFFO also does not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to the Company’s real estate assets nor does it purport to be indicative of cash available to fund the Company’s future cash requirements. Further, the Company’s computation of normalized AFFO may not be comparable to normalized AFFO reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define AFFO or normalized AFFO differently from the Company.
Tenant EBITDAR. Facility EBITDAR, as defined herein, plus EBITDAR (excluding one-time adjustments) for the period presented for all other operations of any entities that guarantee the tenants' lease obligations to the Company. The Company uses Tenant EBITDAR in determining Tenant EBITDAR Coverage. As with Facility EBITDAR, the Company receives the underlying information from its tenants and, with respect to Tenant EBITDAR, the guarantors of its tenants' lease obligation to the Company. To the extent that a particular tenant's lease obligations are not guaranteed by another entity, Tenant EBITDAR and Facility EBITDAR with respect to a particular tenant are the same. The Company utilizes Tenant EBITDAR as a supplemental measure of the ability of the tenant to meet its cash rent and other obligations to the Company should the facilities be unable to generate sufficient liquidity to meet related obligations to the Company. The usefulness of Tenant EBITDAR is limited by the same factors that limit the usefulness of Facility EBITDAR. All facility and tenant financial performance data was derived solely from information provided by operators/tenants, guarantors and borrowers without independent verification by the Company. All facility and tenant financial performance data are presented one month in arrears. The Company includes Tenant EBITDAR with respect to property if the property was operated at any time during the period presented subject to a lease with the Company. Tenant EBITDAR for facilities with new tenants/operators (Aurora, Encore and Creekside) are only included in periods subsequent to our acquisition of the facilities.
Tenant EBITDAR Coverage. Tenant EBITDAR for the trailing 3 and 12 month periods prior to and including the period presented divided by the same period rent for all of our facilities plus rent expense for other operations of any entity that guarantees the tenants' lease obligation to the Company. Tenant EBITDAR coverage is a supplemental measure of a tenant's ability to meet its cash rent and other obligations to the Company. However, its usefulness is limited by, among other things, the same factors that limit the usefulness of Facility EBITDAR and Tenant EBITDAR. All facility and tenant financial performance data were derived solely from information provided by operators/tenants, guarantors and borrowers without independent verification by the Company. All facility and tenant financial performance data are presented one month in arrears.
