Conference Call Scheduled for Thursday, August 7, 2025 at 1:00 pm ET

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., August 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CareTrust REIT, Inc. (NYSE:CTRE) today reported operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as well as other recent events.

For the quarter, CareTrust REIT reported:

Investments of $1.1 billion at an estimated stabilized yield of 8.4%, including the acquisition of Care REIT plc; Upsized the credit facility to include a $500 million, 5-year term loan; 12.1 million shares sold under its ATM Program for gross proceeds of $353.9 million; Investment grade rating by Fitch; 99.7% of contractual rent and interest collected; Net income of $68.5 million and net income per share of $0.35; Net Debt to Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA of 2.0x; Normalized FFO of $83.1 million and normalized FFO per share of $0.43; Normalized FAD of $83.1 million and normalized FAD per share of $0.43; and A quarterly dividend of $0.335 per share, representing a payout ratio of approximately 78% on normalized FAD.

Since quarter end, CareTrust REIT reports:

Closing of investments totaling approximately $29.4 million at an estimated stabilized yield of 9%; Pay off of the secured notes payable and secured revolving credit facilities assumed in the Care REIT acquisition; Cash on hand of approximately $65 million; and Investment pipeline of approximately $600 million.

CareTrust’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Dave Sedgwick, commented, "Over the last 18 months we have invested more than the prior eight years combined, deploying roughly $2.7 billion of capital into growth opportunities. In May, we closed on the strategic acquisition of Care REIT that marked our entry into the UK care home market. Determined to maintain momentum in the wake of that transaction, we invested an additional $220 million in the second quarter and since, bringing our total investments year-to-date to approximately $1.2 billion. These investments have broadened our operator bench and diversified our asset mix, payor base and geographic reach -- all while we maintained low leverage, improved our credit capacity to support future expansion and reloaded our pipeline." Mr. Sedgwick continued, "To ensure the flywheel continues to rip, we have invested throughout the organization by selectively adding talent in tax, finance, investments and asset management, integrating a team of London-based professionals, and deepening operator relationships. All of these moves together are not only producing meaningful FFO per share growth but are also setting the table for strong performance for years to come."

Chief Financial Officer, Bill Wagner, reported that, for the second quarter, CareTrust reported net income of $68.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted weighted-average common share, normalized FFO of $83.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted weighted-average common share, and normalized FAD of $83.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted weighted-average common share.

Liquidity

As of quarter end, CareTrust reported net debt-to-annualized normalized run rate EBITDA of 2.0x, which is below the Company's target leverage range of 4.0x to 5.0x, and a net debt-to-enterprise value of approximately 12.3%. Mr. Wagner stated that, as of today, the Company has $65.0 million in borrowings outstanding on its $1.2 billion revolving credit line, with no scheduled debt maturities prior to 2028. He also disclosed that CareTrust currently has approximately $65 million in cash on hand. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company sold 12.1 million shares under its ATM Program at a weighted average sales price of $29.36 per share for gross proceeds of $353.9 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $380.1 million available for future issuances under the ATM Program. "We have plenty of available capital under both our ATM Program and revolving credit line which will allow us to fund a replenishing pipeline of accretive investment opportunities," said Mr. Wagner.

Increased Guidance

The Company increased guidance for 2025, with Mr. Wagner projecting on a per-diluted weighted-average common share basis net income of approximately $1.43 to $1.45, normalized FFO of approximately $1.77 to $1.79, and normalized FAD of approximately $1.77 to $1.79. He noted that the 2025 guidance is based on a diluted weighted-average common share count of 195.3 million shares, and assumes the following:

All investments year-to-date; No new investments; Dispositions made to date; Loan repayments made to date; No new dispositions; No new debt incurrences or new equity issuances; and Estimated 2.5% CPI-based rent escalators under CareTrust's long-term net leases.

Dividend Maintained

During the quarter, CareTrust declared a quarterly dividend of $0.335 per common share. On an annualized basis, the payout ratio was approximately 78% based on second quarter 2025 normalized FFO, and 78% based on second quarter 2025 normalized FAD.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. represents net income (loss) attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. before interest expense (including amortization of deferred financing costs), income tax expense, amortization of stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization. Normalized EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. represents EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of core operating performance, such as recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, property operating expenses, gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, gains or losses from dispositions of real estate, real estate impairment charges, provision for loan losses, non-routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, write-off of deferred financing costs, unrealized gains or losses on other real estate related investments and provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, as applicable. EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. and Normalized EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. 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. EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. and Normalized EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements, including the Company’s ability to fund capital expenditures or make payments on its indebtedness. Further, the Company’s computation of EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA reported by other REITs.

Funds from Operations ("FFO"), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"), and Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD") are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. 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. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, Nareit created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP.

FFO is defined by Nareit as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from dispositions of real estate investments, real estate related depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges, adjustments for the share of consolidated joint ventures, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Noncontrolling interests' pro rata share information is prepared by applying noncontrolling interests' actual ownership percentage for the period and is intended to reflect noncontrolling interests' proportionate economic interest in the financial position and operating results of properties in our portfolio. The Company computes FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. in accordance with Nareit’s definition.

FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. is defined as FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. excluding noncash income and expenses, such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees, amortization of above and below market intangibles, amortization of lease incentives, the effects of straight-line rent, adjustments for the share of consolidated joint ventures and non-cash interest income. The Company considers FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. to be a useful supplemental measure to evaluate the Company’s operating results excluding these income and expense items to help investors, analysts and other interested parties compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies on a more consistent basis.

In addition, the Company reports Normalized FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. and Normalized FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., which adjust FFO and FAD for certain revenue and expense items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing operating results, such as write-off of deferred financing costs, provision for loan losses, non-routine transaction costs, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, loss on extinguishment of debt, extraordinary incentive plan payment, unrealized gains or losses on other real estate related investments, gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue and property operating expenses. By excluding these items, investors, analysts and our management can compare Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD between periods more consistently.

While FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD are relevant and widely-used measures of operating performance among REITs, 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, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements.

Further, the Company’s computation of FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD may not be comparable to FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD 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 FAD differently than the Company does.

The Company also discloses Net Debt to Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA, which compares the Company’s Net Debt as of the last day of the quarter to the Annualized Run Rate EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. for the quarter. Net Debt is defined as the Company’s Total Debt as of the last day of the specified quarter adjusted to exclude the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and escrow deposits on acquisition of real estate as of such date as well as the net proceeds from the expected settlement of shares sold under equity forward contracts through the Company’s ATM Program that are outstanding as of such date. Normalized Run Rate EBITDA represents Normalized EBITDA, adjusted to give effect to the investments completed during the three months ended for the respective period as though such investments were completed as of the beginning of the period. Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA is calculated as Normalized Run Rate EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. for the specified quarter multiplied by four.

The Company believes that net income attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. The Company also believes that the use of EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD, 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. The Company considers EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA, in each case attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., useful in understanding the Company’s operating results independent of its capital structure, indebtedness and other charges that are not indicative of its ongoing results, thereby allowing for a more meaningful comparison of operating performance between periods and against other REITs. The Company considers FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD, in each case attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, impairment charges and real estate related depreciation and amortization, and, for FAD and Normalized FAD, by excluding noncash income and expenses such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees, and the effects of straight-line rent, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD can help investors compare the Company’s operating performance between periods and to other REITs. The Company believes that the disclosure of Net Debt to Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA provides a useful measure to investors to evaluate the credit strength of the Company and its ability to service its debt obligations and to compare the Company’s credit strength to prior reporting periods and to other companies without the effect of charges that are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing performance or that could obscure the Company’s actual credit quality and after considering the effect of investments occurring during the period.
