Current report

We operate in the post-acute care industry, which is an essential component of the healthcare delivery ecosystem, serving high need, medically fragile patients. The post-acute care industry has evolved to meet the growing demand for post-acute and custodial healthcare services generated by an aging population, increasing life expectancies and the trend toward shifting patient care to lower cost settings. The industry continues to evolve, driven by several trends, including the following:

Current report

SNFs are an Integral and Essential Part of the Post-Acute Care Continuum. SNFs play an essential role in post-acute patient care. SNFs provide higher-acuity skilled nursing care to patients that cannot be adequately treated in community-based care settings, such as assisted living or independent living facilities, and who are no longer appropriate candidates for hospital care. Despite the wide array of services and variety of needs addressed, SNFs are the lowest cost facility-based post-acute healthcare. As reimbursement and coverage continues to shift toward value-based models with greater emphasis on controlling costs, SNFs are integral to post-acute care and can continue to drive high-quality outcomes in low-cost settings.

Current report

Large, Fragmented Industry Comprised of Mostly Small and Independent Operators. According to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) 2020 National Post-acute and Long-term Care Study, the SNF industry in the United States encompasses approximately 15,000 facilities and serves approximately 1.3 million patients annually. The industry is highly fragmented, with the top 10 operators, each having greater than approximately 100 facilities, representing approximately 11% of total number of SNFs in the United States, according to CMS data as of September 2024, approximately 5,000 smaller and independent operators of less than 100 facilities making up the remainder. According to this data, approximately 73% and 27% of SNFs are located in urban and rural areas, respectively. In addition, approximately 73%, 21%, and 6% of SNFs are operated as for-profit, non-profit, and by the government, respectively, according to such data. We believe this fragmented landscape creates opportunities for larger providers with greater scale to serve patients better and meet regulatory requirements nation-wide by effectively addressing staffing, quality standards, and billing processes. In addition, due to the increasing demands from hospitals and insurance carriers to implement sophisticated and expensive reporting systems, we believe this fragmentation provides us with significant acquisition and consolidation opportunities.

Current report

Growing Demand Outpacing Supply of Skilled Nursing Facilities. The demand for healthcare services in the United States has increased in recent years and is expected to continue growing, largely due to a rapidly aging population and an increasing prevalence of chronic conditions. While demand has increased for SNFs, the number of SNFs has declined in recent years from approximately 15,650 in 2017 to approximately 14,800 in 2024. We believe this is due to a variety of factors, including an inability of many facilities to comply with the industry’s stringent regulatory compliance obligations and with quality standards, rigorous staffing, and billing requirements, as well as a lack of technology and sophistication at small and independent operators. Furthermore, new operators to this highly regulated industry face multiple barriers to entry, including the requirements to obtain a Certificate of Need, complex licensure and regulatory compliance requirements, lack of operating experience, and significant capital requirements. As a result, the addition of new SNFs has not kept pace with the number of SNFs exiting the market, amplifying the need for skilled nursing to serve an aging population.

Current report

Favorable Reimbursement Environment. According to CMS, approximately 72% of SNF revenue in 2022 was derived from government sources, including Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid represents 51% of industry revenue, while Medicare represents approximately 21%. The remainder comprises managed care, private pay, and other payors. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement has steadily increased over the past few years. Medicare reimbursement per patient day increased at a CAGR of approximately 3.6% from 2012 to 2021, while Medicaid reimbursement per patient day increased at a CAGR of approximately 1.9% from 2012 to 2021. During that time, the industry experienced over 9 years of growth in reimbursement rates.

Current report

Skilled nursing services revenue increased by 28.9%, or $226.4 million, to $1.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This change was driven by an increase in patient days of 376,218 or 21.0% primarily due to an increase in operational beds of 5,236, or 23.6%, from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024. New facilities experienced a slight decrease in occupancy, from 83.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 82.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to our large number of recent new acquisitions, which generally have lower occupancy rates than ramping or mature facilities. Our relatively high occupancy rate across all facilities of 90.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, reflects a slight increase compared to 90.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, driven by increases in both the Ramping and Mature facility cohorts.

Current report

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Current report

Skilled nursing services revenue increased by 26.9%, or $604.1 million, to $2.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This change was driven by an increase in patient days of 1,292,405 or 26.5% primarily due to an increase in operational beds of 5,236, or 23.6%, from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024. New facilities experienced a decrease in occupancy, from 88.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to 83.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to recent new acquisitions, which generally have lower occupancy rates than ramping or mature facilities. Our relatively high occupancy rate across all facilities of 90.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflects a slight decrease compared to 91.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, driven by increases in both the Ramping and Mature facility cohorts.

Current report

On April 15, 2024, we completed an IPO receiving initial net proceeds of $423.0 million. We used $370.0 million of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay amounts outstanding under our Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility (as defined below) and used the remaining amount for general corporate purposes to support the growth of the business. On September 9, 2024, we completed an underwritten follow-on offering receiving initial net proceeds of $96.4 million, of which we used $95.3 million to repay amounts outstanding under our Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility.

Current report

As described in more detail below, we are in a state of forbearance with the lenders associated with the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility and as a result, we are currently unable to borrow additional amounts. We are in active discussions with the Required Lenders (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) regarding the terms of an amendment and waiver to our Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility and expect to reach an agreement before the end of the forbearance period to be able to borrow additional amounts.

Current report

, resulting in potential borrowing capacity of up to $586.7 million and $486.1 million, respectively, net of letter of credit usage.

Current report

On May 16, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility that, among other things, waived an event of default that had occurred and was then continuing under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility and modified the affirmative covenants thereunder requiring the joinder of certain subsidiaries of PACS Group, Inc. to the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility, as further set forth therein. On November 14, 2024, we entered into another amendment to the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility that, among other things, extended the deadline for our delivery of unaudited quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024. On March 27, 2025, and May 29, 2025, we entered into further amendments to the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility that, among other things, extended the deadline for delivery of audited annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The May 29, 2025 amendment also supplemented the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement’s financial covenants requiring us to maintain unrestricted cash and certain permitted investments of at least $100 million until we deliver audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Liquidity Requirement”).

Current report

On July 24, 2025 and August 13, 2025 we entered into two separate forbearance agreements with the Truist Bank, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and the lenders, pursuant to which the lenders agreed to temporarily forbear from exercising remedies under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility with respect to certain technical events of default, including without limitation matters relating to inaccuracies in certain representations and warranties made, which inaccuracies also triggered an event of default under the Third Consolidated Master Lease, dated June 30, 2023 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Omega Master Lease”), which in turn triggered an additional event of default under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility. In addition, a separate representation and warranty event of default occurred under the Omega Master Lease, which triggered an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (all such technical events of default under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility, the “Initial Technical Events of Default”). The August 13, 2025 Forbearance Agreement and Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement required that the Liquidity Requirement remain in place for the entirety of the forbearance period and further extended the delivery period with respect to the fiscal year 2024 financial statements. The forbearance period was scheduled to run until October 31, 2025, subject to extension by the Administrative Agent through November 30, 2025, or by the Required Lenders thereafter, or earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain specified events of default.

Current report

On October 21, 2025, we entered into a third forbearance agreement (the “October Forbearance Agreement”). Under the October Forbearance Agreement, the lenders again agreed to temporarily forbear from exercising rights and remedies under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with respect to the Initial Technical Events of Default, as well as certain additional technical events of default including without limitation matters relating to the designation of certain immaterial conflicted subsidiaries; failure to join certain subsidiaries to the loan documents; noncompliance with cash management requirements; and inaccuracies in certain representations and warranties made as a result of the foregoing (collectively, with the Initial Technical Events of Default, the “Technical Events of Default”). The Technical Events of Default also triggered an event of default under the Omega Master Lease, which in turn triggered an additional event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Current report

The October Forbearance Agreement provides for the same forbearance period as the prior forbearance agreements. Following the October Forbearance Agreement, the Administrative Agent agreed to extend the forbearance period thereunder through November 30, 2025. During the forbearance period, we are required to comply with certain additional specified conditions, including the continued maintenance of minimum liquidity of $100 million, limitations on certain investments and acquisitions, and a prohibition on the borrowing of new loans under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility. The October Forbearance Agreement is intended to provide us with temporary relief while addressing the Technical Events of Default and does not constitute a waiver of the Technical Events of Default or amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement beyond the amended terms specified therein.

Current report

We are in active discussions with the Required Lenders regarding the terms of an amendment and waiver to our Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility and expect to reach an agreement following the end of the forbearance period.

Key Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Previous report

We believe that our financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those below and in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Previous report

Skilled nursing services revenue increased by 28.7%, or $217.1 million, to $973.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This change was driven by an increase in operational beds of 3,947 from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024 leading to a 24.8% increase in patient days year-over-year. Additionally, we experienced consistently high occupancy across all facilities of 91.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a slight decrease as compared to 91.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in occupancy across all facilities can be attributed to our New facilities only being 84.2% occupied for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 88.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Previous report

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Previous report

Skilled nursing services revenue increased by 30.0%, or $439.0 million, to $1.901 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. This change was driven by an increase in operational beds of 3,947 from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024 leading to a 29.8% increase in patient days year-over-year. Additionally, we experienced consistent occupancy across all facilities of 91.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a slight decrease as compared to 91.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in occupancy across all facilities can be attributed to our New facilities only being 83.7% occupied for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 89.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Previous report

On April 15, 2024, we completed our IPO obtaining total net proceeds of $414.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. For additional information, see Note 13, “Capital Stock”, to our condensed combined/consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Previous report

Governmental and other authorities periodically inspect the SNFs, senior living facilities and outpatient rehabilitation agencies to verify continued compliance with applicable regulations and standards. The operations must pass these inspections to remain licensed under state laws and to comply with Medicare and Medicaid provider agreements. The operations can only participate in these third-party payment programs if inspections by regulatory authorities reveal that the operations are in substantial compliance with applicable state and federal requirements. In the ordinary course of business, federal or state regulatory authorities may issue notices to the operations alleging deficiencies in certain regulatory practices. These statements of deficiency may require corrective action to regain and maintain compliance. In some cases, federal or state regulators may impose other remedies including imposition of civil monetary penalties, temporary payment bans, loss of certification as a provider in the Medicare or Medicaid program, or suspension or revocation of a state operating license.

Previous report

The regulatory environment surrounding the healthcare industry subjects providers to significant scrutiny. In the ordinary course of business, providers are subject to inquiries, investigations and audits by federal and state agencies related to compliance with participation and payment rules under government payment programs. These inquiries may originate from the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG), state Medicaid agencies, state Attorney Generals, local and state ombudsman offices and CMS Recovery Audit Contractors, among other agencies. In response to the inquiries, investigations and audits, federal and state agencies continue to impose citations for regulatory deficiencies and other regulatory penalties, including demands for refund of overpayments, expanded civil monetary penalties that extend over long periods of time and date back to incidents prior to surveyor visits, Medicare and Medicaid payment bans and terminations from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which may be temporary or permanent in nature. We vigorously contest each such regulatory outcome when appropriate; however, there are significant legal and other expenses involved that consume our financial and personnel resources. Expansion of enforcement activity could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Previous report

In an effort to decrease the spread of COVID-19, federal, state and local regulators have implemented new regulations and requirements on our subsidiaries.

Previous report

Testing requirements - On September 23, 2022, CMS issued an interim final rule (IFR) regarding COVID-19 testing of staff, stating that individuals who show symptoms of COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status, should be tested for COVID-19 as soon as possible. Additionally, this IFR called for testing of residents and staff and investigation of an outbreak when there is a single positive COVID-19 case among residents or staff of the long term care (LTC) facility. We have implemented procedures for testing for COVID-19 that are intended to comply with federal and state mandates.

Previous report

Federal and state COVID-19 vaccination requirements- CMS developed an IFR requiring all workers within Medicare and Medicaid-participating nursing homes to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, OSHA introduced an emergency temporary standard (ETS) requiring employers with more than 100 employees to mandate that its employees be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit to weekly testing for the virus. Both CMS’s IFR and OSHA’s ETS for vaccination were challenged in court and halted from enforcement in certain states, but the United States Supreme Court allowed CMS to enforce its vaccine mandate nationwide.

Previous report

In addition to the IFR mandating vaccinations for health facility workers, several states where our facilities are located have issued vaccine mandates that apply to facility staff. These vaccine mandates are largely aligned with CMS’s requirements. For example, California issued an order requiring adult care facilities and direct care workers to be vaccinated as well, and for all affected workers to be fully vaccinated by November 30, 2021. The order was expanded to allow workers who had completed their primary vaccination series and contracted COVID-19 since becoming fully vaccinated to defer the receipt of a vaccine booster dose by up to 90 days after infection with COVID-19; otherwise, booster vaccine doses were required to be completed by March 1, 2022. On October 23, 2022, CMS issued further guidance unifying its recommendations for all facilities under its oversight, including SNFs and LTC facilities, reaffirming CMS’s activities to verify vaccination of all SNF and LTC facility staff, and where necessary, to pursue corrective action for facilities found deficient in this requirement.

Previous report

Reporting requirements - In accordance with CMS reporting guidance, SNFs are required to report to the CDC National Health Safety Network certain information related to COVID-19 cases on a weekly basis. Facilities are also required to provide residents and staff with vaccine education and offer vaccines, when available, to residents and staff. The IFR published on August 23, 2021 requires facilities to develop policies and procedures to ensure the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine to residents and staff and to educate them concerning the benefits, risks and potential side effects associated with the vaccine. CMS may initiate enforcement activities and assess civil monetary penalties for not meeting any of these COVID-19 related reporting requirements under this IFR and reaffirmed its intent to seek corrective action against SNFs and LTC facilities that do not satisfy these requirements.

Previous report

Medicare and Medicaid represent our largest sources of revenue and accounted for 37.5% and 38.1% of our routine revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and 36.6% and 38.4% of our routine revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The federal government and state governments continue to focus on efforts to curb spending on healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The Medicare program and state Medicaid programs and their reimbursement rates and rules are subject to frequent change. These include statutory and regulatory changes, rate adjustments (including retroactive adjustments), administrative or executive orders and government funding restrictions, all of which may materially adversely affect the rates at which Medicare and state Medicaid programs reimburse us for our services. Budget pressures often lead the federal government to reduce or place limits on reimbursement rates under Medicare and Medicaid. We cannot predict the extent to which such proposals will be adopted or, if adopted and implemented, what effect, if any, such proposals and legislation will have on us. Historically, adjustments to reimbursement under Medicare and Medicaid programs have had a significant effect on our revenue.

Previous report

Medicaid - In March of 2020, the FFCRA provided a 6.2% increase to the FMAP during the PHE. In addition to this funding increase, the FFCRA imposed conditions restricting the disenrollment and standards for re-enrolling Medicaid beneficiaries to promote continuous care of beneficiaries during the PHE. The bipartisan omnibus spending plan passed by Congress and signed into law by the President on December 29, 2022, amended these Medicaid enrollment protections and increased FMAP funding provided in the FFCRA. The FMAP increase CMS provides to states was subject to reduction reductions in 2023 as noted below: for the second quarter, April through June 2023, this increase was reduced to 5.0%; in the third quarter, from July through September, the FMAP increase was reduced to 2.5%, and in October through December, the FMAP increase will be reduced to 1.5%. The ultimate amount of funding from each state will vary substantially based on that states’ policies.

Previous report

CMS’s provision of these increased FMAP funds to states is conditioned upon states reporting to CMS certain Medicaid-related information, including data pertaining to Medicaid renewals, termination of Medicaid coverage, beneficiary customer service information, and other eligibility and renewal information that may be identified in regulations or by the HHS Secretary. States that do not report required data to CMS beginning in July of 2023 will be penalized 0.25% percentage points, up to a total of 1.0%, for each quarter the state does not report data to CMS. The omnibus spending plan also grants CMS authority to impose fines, penalties, and other sanctions upon states that do not comply with this law’s requirements for increased FMAP payments. These requirements and budgetary pressures can lead state governments to reduce or limit Medicaid spending.

Previous report

Under the omnibus spending bill adopted in December of 2022, states began disenrolling Medicaid beneficiaries on April 1, 2023. During the PHE, funding was provided for continuous Medicaid enrollment, and the unwinding of the continuous enrollment period reduces CMS’s contribution to state-administered Medicaid programs. CMS guidance permits states up to 14 months to initiate and process traditional Medicaid renewals, including the eligibility and enrollment process.

Previous report

Medicare Annual Payment Rule and Updates - The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 required the implementation of a per diem prospective payment system (PPS) for SNFs covering all costs related to the provision of services to Medicare Part A beneficiaries. The SNF PPS payment rates are adjusted for case mix and geographic variation in wages and cover all costs of furnishing covered SNF services (routine, ancillary, and capital-related costs). CMS is required to calculate an annual Medicare market-basket update to the payment rates. On July 31, 2023, CMS issued a final rule for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 that updates Medicare payment rates for skilled nursing facilities under the SNF PPS. For FY 2024, SNF PPS rates under Medicare Part A will increase by 4.0%. This estimate reflects a 6.4% net market basket update to the payment rates, which is based on a 3.0% SNF market basket increase plus a 3.6% market basket forecast error adjustment and less a 0.2% productivity adjustment and less a 2.3% adjustment as a result of the second phase of the recalibrated parity adjustment under the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM).

Previous report

Sequestration of Medicare Rates - The Budget Control Act of 2011 requires a mandatory, across the board reduction in federal spending, called a sequestration. Medicare FFS claims with dates of service or dates of discharge on or after April 1, 2013 incur a 2.0% reduction in Medicare payments. Due to subsequent legislative amendments to the statute, the sequestrations will remain in effect through 2032, with the exception of a temporary suspension from May 1, 2020 through March 31, 2022.

Previous report

Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM)- The PDPM, a case-mix classification model used in the SNF PPS for classifying SNF patients in a stay covered under Medicare Part A, became effective October 1, 2019. PDPM classifies patients into payment groups based on the patient’s condition (clinically relevant factors) and resulting care needs, rather than on the volume of services provided, to determine Medicare reimbursement. PDPM utilizes five case-mix adjusted payment components: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language pathology, nursing and social services and non-therapy ancillary services. It also uses a sixth non-case mix component to cover utilization of SNFs’ resources that do not vary depending on resident characteristics.

Previous report

Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF-VBP) Program- All SNFs that receive reimbursement under the SNF PPS are also subject to the SNF Value Based Purchasing (VBP) Program. The SNFVBP Program awards SNFs with incentive payments based on the quality of care they provide to Medicare beneficiaries. For the FY2024 Program year, performance in the SNF VBP Program is based on a single measure of all-cause hospital readmissions. Beginning in the FY 2026 program year, the measures will be expanded to include (1) Skilled Nursing Facility Healthcare Associated Infections Requiring Hospitalization (SNF HAI), and (2) Total Nursing Hours per Resident Day Staffing (Total Nurse Staffing), and beginning in the FY 2027 program year, the measures will be further expanded to include Discharge to Community—Post-Acute Care Measure for Skilled Nursing Facilities (DTC PAC SNF).

Previous report

Skilled Nursing Facility – Quality Reporting Program (SNF QRP) - The Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (IMPACT Act) created data reporting requirements for certain Post-Acute-Care (PAC) providers. The IMPACT Act requires that each SNF submit its quality data and standardized patient assessment data elements in connection with the Quality Reporting Program (QRP). If a SNF does not submit required quality data, the SNF’s payment rates are reduced by 2.0% for each such fiscal year.

Previous report

Medicare Part B Requirements - Some of our revenue is paid by the Medicare Part B program under a fee schedule. Medicare Part B provides reimbursement for certain physician services, limited drug coverage, and other outpatient services outside of a Medicare Part A covered patient stay. Although certain therapy services were historically subject to a payment cap, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (BBA) repealed those caps while retaining and adding additional limitations to ensure appropriate therapy services. The BBA also establishes coding modifier requirements and retains the targeted medical review process established under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) at a threshold amount of $3,000. The Current Year (CY) 2024 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) Final Rule reduced the conversion factor (i.e., the number by which CMS determine all current procedural terminology code payments) by 3.4% from the CY 2023 conversion factor. This changed lowered the overall payment rate under the PFS by 1.25% in CY 2024 compared to CY 2023.

Previous report

Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) provides medical and social services to elderly individuals who qualify for nursing home care but, at the time of enrollment, can still live safely in the community. CMS conducts a comprehensive annual review of the PACE organization's operation of the PACE program during a 3-year trial period to assure compliance with all significant requirements. For example, each PACE organization must establish an interdisciplinary team that, among other responsibilities, comprehensively assesses the individual needs of each participant and assigns each participant to an interdisciplinary team. On April 12, 2023, CMS published updates to the PACE program, including to the determination of a contract year and the types of contracted services.

Previous report

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - In recent years, there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the U.S. healthcare system, many of which are intended to contain or reduce healthcare costs. For example, the ACA affects how healthcare services are covered, delivered and reimbursed, and it expanded health insurance coverage through a combination of public program expansion and private sector health insurance reforms. Several of the reforms are very significant and could ultimately change the nature of our services, the methods of payment for our services and the underlying regulatory environment. These reforms include modifications to the conditions of qualification for payment, bundling of payments to cover both acute and post-acute care and the imposition of enrollment limitations on new providers. Since its enactment, there have been judicial, executive and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA and, on June 17, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed the most recent judicial challenge to the ACA brought by several states without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the ACA.

We are a leading post-acute healthcare company primarily focused on delivering high-quality skilled nursing care through a portfolio of independently operated facilities. Founded in 2013, we are one of the largest skilled nursing providers in the United States based on number of facilities, with 220 post-acute care facilities across nine states serving over 22,000 patients daily. We also provide senior care, assisted living, and independent living options in some of our communities. Our significant historical growth has been primarily driven by our expertise in acquiring underperforming long-term custodial care skilled nursing facilities and transforming them into higher acuity, high value-add short-term transitional care skilled nursing facilities. We believe our success is driven in significant part by our decentralized, local operating model, through which we empower local leaders at each facility to operate their facility autonomously and deliver excellence in clinical quality and a superior experience for our patients. We provide our independently operated facilities with a comprehensive suite of technology, support, and back-office services that allow local leadership teams to focus more of their time and effort on providing quality care to patients. We believe our operating model delivers value to all of our healthcare stakeholders, including patients and families, referring providers, payors, and administrators and clinicians.

We aim to create value by identifying and acquiring underperforming custodial care facilities and converting them into higher-value short-term transitional care facilities by investing in clinical teams and processes and upgrading technology, equipment, training, staffing, aesthetics, and other aspects of the business. The resources and guidance offered by PACS Services is key to rapid integration of new facilities and provides our local leadership teams with an effective technology infrastructure, support tools, and regional support teams that allow local leadership to focus on operational improvements. Our facilities generally undergo an up to three-year post-acquisition transition period. During this period, we seek to implement best practices designed to realize and sustain the facility’s full potential. These practices often result in significant improvements to clinical quality and other operational metrics, including skilled mix, occupancy rates and payor contracting. We believe the results of our acquisition strategy are demonstrated by our high average QM Star rating and occupancy rate for Mature facilities of 4.3 and 94%, respectively, as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the average QM Star rating and occupancy rate for New facilities was 4.1 and 84%, respectively.

Healthcare is an area of extensive and frequent regulatory change. Changes in the law or new interpretations of existing laws may have a significant impact on revenue, costs and business operations. Our independent operating facilities that provide healthcare services are subject to federal, state and local laws relating to, among other things, licensure, accreditation, enrollment, quality, adequacy of care, physical plant, life safety, personnel, staffing and operating requirements. In addition, these facilities are subject to federal and state laws that govern billing and reimbursement, relationships with vendors, business relationships with physicians and other healthcare providers and facilities, and workplace protection for healthcare staff.

Current wording

Regulatory Environment. The SNF industry is highly regulated with stringent regulatory compliance obligations. In the ordinary course of business, providers are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to, among other things, billing and reimbursement, relationships with vendors, business relationships with physicians and other healthcare providers and facilities, as well as licensure, accreditation, enrollment, quality, adequacy of care, physical plant, life safety, personnel, staffing and operating requirements. Changes in law or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations may have a significant impact on revenue, costs and business operations of providers and other industry participants. In addition, governmental and other authorities periodically inspect the SNFs, senior living facilities and outpatient rehabilitation agencies to verify continued compliance with applicable regulations and standards and may impose citations and other regulatory penalties for regulatory deficiencies. Such regulatory penalties include but are not limited to civil monetary penalties, temporary payment bans, suspension or revocation of a state operating license and loss of certification as a provider in the Medicare or Medicaid program, which may be temporary or permanent in nature. This regulatory environment and related enforcement can have an adverse effect on providers and other industry participants. See the section titled “Regulatory Matters.”
