| BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Overview and Organization Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega”) was incorporated in the State of Maryland on March 31, 1992 and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. 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”). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “Omega”, the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Omega OP, references to “Parent” refer to Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. without regard to its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to “Omega OP” mean OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. Omega 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”), assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), and to a lesser extent, independent living facilities (“ILFs”), rehabilitation and acute care facilities (“specialty facilities”) and medical office buildings. Our core portfolio consists of long-term leases and mortgage agreements. All 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 derives 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 has exclusive control over Omega OP’s day-to-day management pursuant to the partnership agreement governing Omega OP. As of March 31, 2021, Parent owned approximately 97% of the issued and outstanding units of partnership interest in Omega OP (“Omega OP Units”), and other investors owned approximately 3% of the outstanding Omega OP Units. 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 Omega’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) Parent, (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, including those stemming from the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) global pandemic described below, which has disproportionately impacted the senior care sector, as well as, those stemming from healthcare legislation and changing regulation by federal, state and local governments, including those driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. 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. In addition to experiencing outbreaks of positive cases and deaths of residents and employees during the pandemic, our operators have been required to, and continue to, adapt their operations rapidly throughout the pandemic to manage the spread of the COVID-19 virus as well as the implementation of new treatments and vaccines, and to implement new requirements relating to infection control, personal protective equipment (“PPE”), quality of care, visitation protocols, staffing levels, and reporting, among other regulations, throughout the pandemic. It remains uncertain when and to what extent vaccination programs for COVID-19, which have been implemented in many of our facilities, will continue to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 in our facilities, or how effective existing vaccines will be against variants of the COVID-19 virus; the impact of these programs will depend in part on the continued speed, distribution, efficacy and delivery of the vaccine in our facilities, as well as participation levels in vaccination programs among the residents and employees of our operators. In addition to the risks associated with managing the spread of the virus, delivery of the vaccines and care of their patients and residents, many of our operators reported incurring, and may continue to incur, significant cost increases as a result of the COVID-19 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 PPE, testing equipment and processes and supplies, as well as implementation of new infection control protocols and vaccination programs. In addition, many of our operators have reported experiencing declines, in some cases that are material, in occupancy levels as a result of the pandemic, which declines on average appear to be stabilizing. We believe these declines may be in part due to COVID-19 related fatalities at our facilities, the delay of SNF placement and/or utilization of alternative care settings for those with lower level of care needs, the suspension and/or postponement of elective hospital procedures, fewer discharges from hospitals to SNFs and higher hospital readmittances from SNFs. We continue to monitor the impact of occupancy declines at many of our operators, and it remains uncertain whether and when demand and occupancy levels will return to pre-COVID-19 levels. While substantial government support has been allocated to SNFs and to a lesser extent to ALFs, further government support will likely be needed to continue to offset these impacts and it is unclear whether and to what extent such government support has been and will continue to be sufficient and timely to offset these impacts. Further, to the extent the impacts of the pandemic continue or accelerate and are not offset by continued government relief that is sufficient and timely, we anticipate that the operating results of certain of our operators would be materially and 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 COVID-19 pandemic, including potential patient litigation and decreased demand for their services, loss of business due to an interruption in their operations, workforce challenges, new regulatory restrictions, or other liabilities related to gathering restrictions, quarantines, reopening plans, vaccine distribution or delivery, spread of infection or other related factors. 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 ability to control the spread of the outbreak generally and in our facilities and the delivery and efficacy of and participation in vaccination programs and other treatments for COVID-19, government funds and other support for the senior care sector and the efficacy of other policies and measures that may mitigate the impact of the pandemic, as well as the future demand for needs-based skilled nursing care and senior living facilities, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to these uncertainties, 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. We consolidate a VIE when we determine that we are its primary beneficiary. We identify the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. Factors considered in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of an entity include: (i) our voting rights, if any; (ii) our involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions; (iii) our risk and reward sharing; (iv) the financial condition of the operator or joint venture and (iv) our representation on the VIE’s board of directors. We perform this analysis on an ongoing basis. As of March 31, 2021, 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 entities. 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 eight three Business Combinations We record the purchase of properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred as part of a business combination. In making estimates of fair value for purposes of recording the purchase, we utilize a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities as well as other critical valuation metrics such as current capitalization rates and discount rates used to estimate the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired (Level 3). When liabilities are assumed as part of a transaction, we consider information obtained about the liabilities and use similar valuation metrics (Level 3). In some instances when debt is assumed and an identifiable active market for similar debt is present, we use market interest rates for similar debt to estimate the fair value of the debt assumed (Level 2). The Company determines fair value as follows: ● Land is determined based on third party appraisals which typically include market comparables. ● Buildings and site improvements acquired are valued using a combination of discounted cash flow projections that assume certain future revenues and costs and consider capitalization and discount rates using current market conditions as well as the residual approach. ● Furniture and fixtures are determined based on third party appraisals which typically utilize a replacement cost approach. ● Mortgages and other investments are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. ● Investments in joint ventures are valued based on the fair value of the joint ventures’ assets and liabilities. Differences, if any, between the Company’s basis and the joint venture’s basis are generally amortized over the lives of the related assets and liabilities, and such amortization is included in the Company’s share of earnings of the joint venture. ● Intangible assets and liabilities acquired are valued using a combination of discounted cash flow projections as well as other valuation techniques based on current market conditions for the intangible asset or liability being acquired. When evaluating below market leases we consider extension options controlled by the lessee in our evaluation. ● Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed are typically valued at stated amounts, which approximate fair value on the date of the acquisition. ● Assumed debt balances are valued by discounting the remaining contractual cash flows using a current market rate of interest. ● Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized. Asset Acquisitions For asset acquisitions, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized by allocating the cost of the acquisition, including transaction costs, to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an asset acquisition are determined in a consistent manner with the immediately preceding “Business Combinations” section. 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 consider 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 to our assets in a future period that could be material to our results of operations. Lease Accounting Lessor Accounting As a lessor, our leased real estate properties are leased under provisions of single or master leases with initial terms typically ranging from 5 to 15 years, plus renewal options. As of March 31, 2021, we have determined that all but one of our leases should be accounted for as operating leases. One lease is accounted for as a direct financing lease. Under the terms of the leases, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties. For leases accounted for as operating leases, we retain ownership of the asset and record depreciation expense (see “Business Combinations”, “Asset Acquisitions” and “Real Estate Investments and Depreciation” above for additional information regarding our investment in real estate leased under operating lease agreements). 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. We assess the probability of collecting substantially all payments due under our leases on several factors, including, among other things, payment history, the financial strength of the lessee and/or borrower and any guarantors, historical operations and operating trends, current and future economic conditions, and expectations of performance (which includes known substantial doubt about an operator’s ability to continue as a going concern). 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, potentially resulting in increased volatility of rental income. For leases accounted for as direct financing leases, we record the present value of the future minimum lease payments (utilizing a constant interest rate over the term of the lease agreement) as a receivable and record interest income based on the contractual terms of the lease agreement. Certain direct financing leases include annual rent escalators, see “Lessor Accounting for Direct Financing Lease Income” below for further discussion regarding the recording of interest income on our direct financing leases. Lessee Accounting As a lessee, the Company is party to ground and/or facility leases 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 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. Mortgages, Other Investments and Direct Financing Leases (collectively, our “loans”) and Allowance for Credit Losses Mortgage Interest Income and Other Investment Income Mortgage interest income and other investment income is recognized as earned over the terms of the related mortgage notes or other investment. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected using the effective interest method. In applying the effective interest method, the effective yield on a loan is determined based on its contractual payment terms, adjusted for prepayment terms. Lessor Accounting for Direct Financing Lease Income We record direct financing lease income on a constant interest rate basis over the term of the lease. Costs related to originating direct financing leases are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction to income from direct financing leases over the term of the direct financing leases. Allowance for Credit Losses In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“Topic 326”) (“ASU 2016-13”), which changed 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 new approach requires the calculation of expected lifetime credit losses and is applied to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, as well as certain off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for credit loss on the loans is a valuation amount that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the loans not held at fair value to present the net amount expected to be collected over the contractual term of the loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans is measured using relevant information about past events, including historical credit loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the loans. Changes to the allowance for credit losses on loans resulting from quarterly evaluations are recorded through provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s unfunded lending commitments are calculated using the same as the methodology for the loans over the contractual term of the commitment. The loss estimate is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with quarterly changes to the liability recorded through provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. ASU 2016-13 specifically excludes from its scope receivables arising from operating leases accounted for under Topic 842. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach and we recorded an initial $28.8 million allowance for expected credit losses with a corresponding adjustment to equity . 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 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. Periodically, the Company may identify an individual loan for impairment. A loan is considered 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 collectibility is diminished, we will return these loans to full accrual status. When we identify a loan impairment, 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. 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. 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. A summary of our net receivables by type is as follows: March 31, December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands) Contractual receivables – net $ 11,428 $ 10,408 Effective yield interest receivables $ 11,884 $ 12,195 Straight-line rent receivables 143,599 139,046 Lease inducements 81,186 83,425 Other receivables and lease inducements $ 236,669 $ 234,666 During the first quarter of 2021, we wrote-off approximately $2.7 million of straight-line rent receivables to rental income as a result of transitioning one facility and placing one operator on a cash basis due to changes in our evaluation of the collectibility of future rent payments due under the lease agreement. Earnings Per Share The computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted EPS is computed using the treasury stock method, which is net income divided by the total weighted-average number of common outstanding shares plus the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares during the respective period. Dilutive common shares 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. 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. The noncontrolling interest for Omega represents the outstanding Omega OP Units held by outside investors and interests in a consolidated real estate joint venture not fully owned by Omega. 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 fina |
