Current report
CMS permits physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists to furnish services via telehealth to Medicare Part B beneficiary residents of SNFs and to bill as distant site practitioners. These telehealth flexibilities, which originated in 2020 under COVID-19 waiver provisions, were most recently extended through December 31, 2027 with passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026.
Current report
Licensing and Certification. Our operators, managers 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.
Current report
U.K. Regulations. The U.K. also imposes very high levels of regulation on our U.K.-based operators. In England, where the majority of our U.K. operators are based, the Care Quality Commission (“CQC”) has regulatory oversight authority over the health and social care sectors and is responsible for approving, registering and inspecting our operators and the properties where they provide services. There is also a detailed legislative and regulatory framework in the U.K. designed to protect the vulnerable (whether by virtue of age or physical and/or mental impairment) and to prevent abuse. Each of these regulatory regimes carries significant enforcement powers, including the ability to criminally prosecute offending operators and facilities, impose fines or revoke registrations. Additionally, under the purview of the Competition and Markets Authority (the “CMA”), local authorities are tasked with providing and funding the care needs of eligible residents within the applicable local authority area. There is ongoing debate and uncertainty within the U.K. as to how growing care needs will be met and funded in the future, and it is not clear at this stage what, if any, or the extent of such, impact will be on our U.K.-based operators. The CMA also has broad statutory authority to review acquisitions or mergers involving U.K. based target businesses, including the authority to investigate, delay, impose conditions on or prohibit transactions involving our U.K. operations.

Previous report
Additionally, on April 22, 2024, CMS issued a final rule regarding minimum staffing requirements and increased inspections at SNFs, which would have required SNFs participating in Medicare and Medicaid to maintain certain nurse staffing and care standards. However, the rule was subject to successful legal challenges, and in September 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) withdrew its appeals in these cases. Further, the OBBBA included a ten-year delay on enforcement of these minimum staffing requirements, and in September 2025, the CMS submitted an interim rule with the White House Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) which seeks to rescind the staffing mandate, subject to OMB approval.
Previous report
On April 22, 2024, CMS issued the Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services final rule, which requires that, beginning six years after the effective date of the final rule, states generally ensure that at least 80% of Medicaid HCBS payments be put toward compensation for direct care workers. The final rule also requires more transparency regarding how much states pay for HCBS and how those rates are set. It is uncertain what the ultimate impact of the final rule, as well as similar initiatives at the state level, will be on providers of Medicaid HCBS services, given uncertainty related to how HCBS providers are currently spending Medicaid dollars, how many providers fall below the required 80% threshold and how well regulators can measure and track spending by HCBS providers. In addition, it remains unclear whether similar requirements, including those establishing minimum allocations of Medicaid or other reimbursements to direct care workers, will be proposed for SNFs, ALFs and other senior care providers; any such requirements, if enacted, could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of our operators. This uncertainty is further exacerbated by unknowns regarding how states will contend with federal funding losses due to the OBBBA’s Medicaid reimbursement cuts and how they will ultimately decide to reallocate funding to the extent that they want to offset the impact to other providers or Medicaid recipients. Despite the OBBBA’s creation of a new category of waivers that would cover people who do not meet the existing requirement of needing an institutional level of care to receive HCBS, such HCBS could be scaled back at the state level as states face funding shortfalls, which may push seniors and individuals with disabilities into institutional nursing home settings.
Previous report
As a part of the COVID-19 1135 waiver provisions, in 2020 CMS added physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language pathology to the list of approved telehealth providers for the Medicare Part B programs provided by a SNF, which also allowed for the facility to bill an originating site fee to CMS for telehealth services provided to Medicare Part B beneficiary residents of the facility when the services were provided by a physician from an alternate location through expiration of the public health emergency. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 extended the ability of occupational therapists, physical therapists and speech-language pathologists to continue to furnish these services via telehealth and bill as distant site practitioners through September 30, 2025; it remains uncertain whether this will be further extended through congressional action, particularly given the current government shutdown.

On June 20, 2025, Omega issued 2030 Senior Notes that mature on July 1, 2030 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.200% per annum, payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2026. The 2030 Senior Notes were sold at an issue price of 99.118% of their face value, resulting in a discount of $5.3 million. We incurred $5.6 million of deferred costs in connection with the issuance.

In July 2025, the maturity date of the 2026 Term Loan was extended from August 8, 2025 to August 8, 2026. We have one remaining option to extend the maturity date of the 2026 Term Loan for an additional 12-month period.
Previous report
On September 30, 2025, Omega entered into a new credit agreement (the “2025 Omega Credit Agreement”) consisting of the Revolving Credit Facility and the 2028 Term Loan, replacing the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2026 Term Loan was also amended on September 30, 2025 to, among other things, modify the interest rate margins to align with the 2028 Term Loan (a reduction of 35 basis points) and remove the 0.100% pricing step-up in each of the extension periods. We incurred $19.8 million of deferred costs in connection with the 2025 Omega Credit Agreement.
Previous report
In October 2025, we entered into an agreement to acquire a 9.9% equity interest in Saber ( the “OpCo Transaction”). Under the agreement, Omega committed to fund $92.6 million in cash consideration, with an expected closing date of January 1, 2026. Completion of the OpCo Transaction is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The agreement includes a $20.0 million fee, as liquidated damages, payable by the non-terminating party if the OpCo Transaction is terminated prior to closing by the other party because the non-terminating party is in breach of the agreement.

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 SNFs, ALFs (including care homes in the U.K.), 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 our long-term leases and real estate loans with healthcare operating companies and affiliates (collectively, our “operators”). Real estate loans consist of mortgage loans and other real estate loans that are primarily collateralized by a first, second or third mortgage lien or a leasehold mortgage on, or an assignment of the partnership interest in, the related properties. In addition to our core investments, we make loans to operators and/or their principals. These loans, which may be either unsecured or secured by the collateral of the borrower, are classified as non-real estate loans. From time to time, we also acquire equity interests in joint ventures or entities that support the long-term healthcare industry and our operators, which may include ancillary service or technology companies, and in operating companies. As healthcare delivery continues to evolve, we continuously evaluate potential investments, our assets, operators and markets to position our portfolio for long-term success. As part of our evaluation, we may from time to time consider selling or transitioning assets that do not meet our portfolio criteria.

Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2025, we began utilizing the structure authorized by the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (commonly referred to as “RIDEA”), whereby we own and operate healthcare facilities through third-party managers (collectively, our “managers”). In addition to our core investments, we make loans to operators and/or their principals. These loans, which may be either unsecured or secured by the collateral of the borrower, are classified as non-real estate loans. From time to time, we also acquire equity interests in joint ventures (“JVs”) or entities that support the long-term healthcare industry and our operators, which may include ancillary service or technology companies, and in operating companies.
Previous wording
Our operators continue to face a number of industry challenges, including staffing shortages, which may impact certain regions more acutely, among other things, which have persisted since the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, our operators have been and continue to be adversely affected by inflation-related cost increases and may be adversely impacted by recently announced global tariffs, each of which may increase expenses, exacerbate labor shortages and increase labor costs, among other adverse impacts. Our operators also may be adversely impacted by immigration restrictions and changes to immigration enforcement policy to the extent they contribute to labor shortages. There continues to be uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of these impacts for those operators, particularly given uncertainty as to whether reimbursement increases from the federal government, the states and the U.K. will be effective in offsetting these incremental costs and lost revenues. In addition, there remains uncertainty as to the impact of potential and recent regulatory changes, including the recent Medicaid changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) and potential further reforms to Medicaid or Medicare and other state regulatory initiatives. While the OBBBA does not directly lower reimbursements related to long term care providers, it may impact our operators indirectly to the extent states in which they operate reduce reimbursement levels generally. This may occur as a result of reduced Medicaid funds allocated by states to long-term care providers due to lower reimbursement levels for hospitals and other healthcare providers. We continue to monitor these reimbursement impacts as well as the impacts of other regulatory changes, as discussed below, which could have a material adverse effect on an operator’s results of operations and financial condition, which could adversely affect the operator’s ability to meet its obligations to us. See “Government Regulation and Reimbursement” for additional information. While we continue to believe that longer term demographics will drive increasing demand for needs-based skilled nursing care, we remain cautious as some of the long-term impacts noted above may continue to have an impact on certain of our operators and their financial conditions.

Previous wording
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated. Our U.S.-based operators, which comprise the majority of our operators, are subject to extensive and complex federal, state and local healthcare laws and regulations; our U.K.-based operators are also subject to a variety of laws and regulations in their jurisdictions. 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 in the U.S., among others.
Current wording
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated. Our healthcare facility operators (which include our TRS entities and their managers when we use a RIDEA structure) are subject to extensive and complex federal, state and local healthcare laws and regulations in the U.S., where most of our operators are located, and in the U.K. and Canada relating to quality of care, licensure and certificate of need, resident rights (including abuse and neglect), consumer protection, government reimbursement, fraud and abuse compliance and similar laws governing the operation of healthcare facilities. 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 and managers, 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 in our triple-net business 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 in the U.S., among others. Moreover, given that certain of our arrangements are structured under RIDEA, certain healthcare fraud and abuse and data privacy laws, including those related to personal health information, could apply directly to us.

The long-term care industry continues to manage a number of challenges, including staffing shortages, which may impact certain regions more acutely, and certain expense and inflationary cost increases, all of which have persisted since the pandemic. The ultimate impacts of these ongoing challenges may depend on future developments, including those impacts related to global tariffs, the sufficiency of reimbursement rate setting, recent changes to the Medicaid program on state reimbursement levels, potential future Medicaid and Medicare reforms and other state regulatory initiatives, as well as the continued efficacy of infection control measures and quality of care regulations, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict and may adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Previous wording
A significant portion of our operators’ revenue is derived from government-funded reimbursement programs, consisting primarily of Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S. and local authority funding in the U.K. As federal and state governments continue to focus on healthcare reform initiatives, efforts to reduce costs or other budgetary adjustments by government payors, including through potential Medicaid reforms and the push by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) towards Medicare Advantage programs, will likely continue. Significant limits on the scope of services reimbursed and/or reductions of reimbursement rates could therefore have a material adverse effect on our operators’ results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, new and evolving payor and provider programs that are tied to quality and efficiency could adversely impact our tenants’ and operators’ liquidity, financial condition or results of operations, and there can be no assurance that payments under any of these government healthcare programs are currently, or will be in the future, sufficient to fully reimburse the property operators for their operating and capital expenses. The change in presidential administration and U.S. Congressional majorities at the federal level are increasing the political focus on entitlement program changes, thereby creating uncertainty with respect to the level of government reimbursement available and the extent of industry regulation. The July 2025 passage of the OBBBA enacted significant reforms regarding funding and operation of the Medicaid program, including an estimated $920 billion in cuts to Medicaid over the next decade, as well as additional reforms related to instituting a ten-year moratorium on federal nursing home minimum staffing requirements; enactment of new home and community-based services (“HCBS”) waivers; and freezing, rather than reducing, nursing home provider taxes. The OBBBA’s restrictions on provider taxes to other types of healthcare providers may adversely impact our operators indirectly to the extent states reduce reimbursement levels generally to offset general provider tax reductions.

Quality of Care and Staffing Initiatives. In July 2025, the CMS Nursing Home Care Compare website and the Five Star Quality Rating System were updated to include revisions to the inspection process, adjustment of staffing rating thresholds, the implementation of new quality measures and the inclusion of a staff turnover percentage (over a 12-month period). Beginning July 30, 2025, CMS published aggregated performance data, including average overall Five Star ratings, health inspection ratings, staffing, and quality measure ratings for “chains” or groups of Medicare-certified nursing homes that share at least one individual or organizational owner, officer, or entity with operational/managerial control. COVID-19 vaccination data was also removed from all nursing home profiles on the CMS Nursing Home Care Compare website as of July 2025.

Additionally, both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives introduced bills in 2026 related to mandating certain staffing requirements for SNFs. However, the likelihood of these legislative measures passing remains uncertain, and we cannot predict whether proposed or future healthcare reform legislation or regulatory changes will have a material impact on our operators’ properties or business.

Private Equity; Ownership Disclosures. On November 15, 2023, CMS issued a final rule that requires SNFs participating in the Medicare or Medicaid programs to disclose certain ownership and managerial information regarding their relationships with certain entities that lease real estate to SNFs, including REITs, beginning May 1, 2025, which has been delayed by CMS until January 1, 2026. The CMS announcement of the final rule noted concerns regarding the quality of care provided at SNFs owned by private equity firms, REITs and other investment firms. Additionally, in 2024 and 2025, several U.S. senators proposed legislation that would, if enacted, restrict certain investors, including REITs and private equity firms, from investing in healthcare facilities or impose penalties on certain landlords of or private equity investors in healthcare facilities whose operators subsequently enter into bankruptcy proceedings. On January 8, 2025, the State of Massachusetts enacted a law that requires notification for certain transactions involving SNFs and REITs and restricts new licenses to hospitals with certain facilities leased from REITs. Legislation with similar restrictions has been proposed in several other states. In addition, in January 2025, HHS and the Senate Budget Committee issued reports that found private equity investment in healthcarehas had negative consequences for patients andproviders. These initiatives, as well as additional calls for federal and state governmental review of the role of private equity in the U.S. healthcare industry and proposed legislation related to certain SNF financial arrangements with REITs, if enacted, could result in additional requirements or restrictions on our operators or us. The likelihood of any of these legislative measures passing at the federal level remains uncertain.
Current wording
Oversight of For-Profit Ownership of Healthcare Facilities; Ownership Disclosures. In November 2023, CMS issued a final rule that would have required SNFs participating in the Medicare or Medicaid programs to disclose certain ownership and managerial information regarding their relationships with certain entities that lease real estate to SNFs, including REITs, private equity firms and other investment firms, citing concerns regarding the quality of care provided at SNFs owned by such entities. These reporting obligations were suspended indefinitely by CMS in December 2025. Notwithstanding the suspension, calls for federal and state oversight of the role of for-profit ownership of healthcare facilities in the U.S., including certain proposed federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives focused on hospital and SNF financial arrangements with REITs and private equity firms, have persisted.
Previous wording
The Budget Control Act of 2011 established a Medicare Sequestration of 2%, which is an automatic reduction of certain federal spending as a budget enforcement tool. Originally, the sequester was intended to be in effect from FY 2013 to FY 2021. However, most recently, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act extended the sequester through FY 2031. The full 2% Medicare sequestration went into effect as of July 1, 2022 and gradually increases to 4% from 2030 through 2031. Further, the OBBBA, absent further legislative action, which remains uncertain given the current government shutdown, requires an automatic 4% reduction in Medicare reimbursement rates beginning in 2026 as a budget enforcement tool triggered by the OBBBA’s impact on the federal deficit.

We use funds from operations (“Nareit FFO”), a non-GAAP financial measure, as one of several criteria to measure the operating performance of our business. 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”). 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. Revenue recognized based on the application of security deposits and letters of credit or based on the ability to offset against other financial instruments is included within Nareit FFO. We believe that Nareit FFO is an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. As real estate assets (except land) are depreciated under GAAP, 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.
Current wording
We use funds from operations (“Nareit FFO”), a non-GAAP financial measure, as one of several criteria to measure the operating performance of our business. 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”). 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 JVs and changes in the fair value of warrants. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and JVs are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. Revenue recognized based on the application of security deposits and letters of credit or based on the ability to offset against other financial instruments is included within Nareit FFO.

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. 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 or cash flow, 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.

A downgrade in credit ratings by Moody’s, S&P Global and/or Fitch may have a negative impact on the interest rates and fees for our Revolving Credit Facility, the 2028 Term Loan and the 2026 Term Loan.

At the federal level, in January 2025, HHS and the Senate Budget Committee issued reports that found private equity investment in healthcare has had negative consequences for patients and providers. In addition, in recent years, several U.S. senators have proposed legislation and conducted oversight initiatives that would, if enacted, restrict certain investors, including REITs and private equity firms, from investing in certain healthcare facilities, restrict such facilities’ receipt or use of funds received from government healthcare programs, increase financial transparency reporting obligations for such facilities and impose penalties on certain landlords or private equity investors in healthcare facilities whose operators subsequently enter into bankruptcy proceedings.

Additionally, in January 2025, the State of Massachusetts enacted a law that requires notification for certain transactions involving SNFs and REITs and restricts new licenses to hospitals with certain facilities leased from REITs.
