| A detailed schedule for the 2024 guidance range as well as additional assumptions is included in this press release. |
| Results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year were impacted by the following: | |
| |
| |
| |
|
- Interest income and other was approximately $0.7 million higher primarily due to new and existing loan fundings, net of paydowns on loans since the end of the first quarter of 2023;
- Net operating income ("NOI") from the SHOP segment, comprised of revenues from resident fees and related services less operating expenses, totaled $2.9 million which is $1.0 million higher than the same period in the prior year;
- Interest expense increased by approximately $0.8 million primarily as the result of increased interest rates, offset by reduced borrowings on the unsecured revolving credit facility and partial repayments of term loans;
- Loan and realty losses (gains) decreased $0.4 million associated with the decrease of the credit loss reserve of $0.8 million offset by real estate impairment charges on three properties of approximately $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2023 in our Real Estate Investments segment; and
- Gains on sales of real estate, net decreased $1.3 million. The gain recognized in the first quarter of 2023 was associated with one property disposition. No properties were sold in the first quarter of 2024.
Eric Mendelsohn, NHI President and CEO, stated, "We had a great start to 2024 which followed a strong finish to 2023. Our first quarter results exceeded our expectations and were driven by several factors. Deferral repayments of approximately $2.3 million were primarily the result of improving tenant fundamentals particularly at Bickford; accelerating revenue growth at NHC significantly increases our percentage rent in 2024 compared to 2023; there were no unexpected rent concessions for the third straight quarter; and our SHOP NOI increased sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2023 on continued occupancy gains. As a result of the exceptional first quarter performance and good visibility into ongoing operating trends, we are raising our guidance for the full year."
Mr. Mendelsohn continued, "We remain excited about our internal growth potential from upside in the SHOP portfolio, significant lease revenue tied to revenue growth at multiple triple-net tenants, as well as deferral repayments and future rent resets with strategic operating partners. Our board also recently approved a $25.0 million capex program at attractive initial yields which should enhance the value of our real estate while driving increased rent growth and further adding to our organic growth profile."
Mr. Mendelsohn concluded, "Our financial strength with leverage at just 4.4 times net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA continues to provide us with a strategic advantage in pursuing accretive external growth opportunities. We are well-positioned to capitalize on a growing pipeline of real estate and lending deals at attractive yields accelerating our return to growth. Our current pipeline is greater than $300.0 million with letters of intent submitted on more than $100.0 million at an average yield in excess of 8.0%."
Portfolio Activity
- During February 2024, NHI funded $15.0 million on a mortgage loan receivable with Carriage Crossing Senior Living Bloomington, with an additional $2.0 million available to be funded contingent upon the performance of facility operations until March 31, 2027. The five year loan agreement has an annual interest rate of 8.75% and twoone-year extensions. The property is an 80-unit assisted living and memory care community located in Bloomington, Illinois. NHI has a purchase option on the property after two years.
- Effective April 1, 2024, the combined rent for the Bickford Senior Living ("Bickford") portfolio was reset from $31.4 million to $34.5 million per year through April 1, 2026, at which time the rent will be reset and will increase annually based on the Consumer Price Index. The minimum annual increase will be 2% with a cap on the annual increase of 3%. As part of the lease amendments, the Company agreed to fund up to $8.0 million of capital improvements on various properties. Rental revenue will increase at a lease rate of 8.0% applied to the amount expended.
- In the second quarter of 2024, NHI completed the sale of two assisted living communities located in Louisiana, previously leased to one of the Company's tenants on cash basis, for net cash proceeds of approximately $4.6 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $1.3 million. The properties were classified as held and used as of March 31, 2024.
- In the first quarter of 2024, NHI's board of directors approved additional investment of up to $25.0 million in existing leased properties in the real estate investments segment. Projects that qualify for these funds are designed to assist the current tenants with improving the net operating results of the facilities. The rents associated with the properties will increase generally at a lease rate of no less than 8.0% applied to the amount expended. Identification and oversight of qualified projects are within the control of Company management. Funds are expected to be expended within two years of project approval. As of March 31, 2024, $1.0 million had been committed and no funds have been expended. In April 2024, an additional $8.0 million and $10.0 million was committed for various properties in the Bickford and Senior Living Communities ("SLC") leased portfolios, respectively.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $1.1 billion in net debt including $248.5 million outstanding on its $700.0 million revolving credit facility. At April 30, 2024, NHI had $228.5 million outstanding under the $700.0 million revolving credit facility and approximately $6.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has $500.0 million available under the at-the-market program.
NHI continues to maintain a strong financial profile and reported that net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 4.4x which is within the Company's target range of 4.0x - 5.0x. NHI is in compliance with all debt covenants and has investment grade credit ratings from Moody's, S&P Global, and Fitch Ratings.

Notes to Reconciliation of FFO, Normalized FFO, Normalized FAD and NOI
These supplemental performance measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other REITs. Consequently, our Funds From Operations ("FFO"), Normalized FFO and Normalized Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD") may not provide a meaningful measure of our performance as compared to that of other REITs. Since other REITs may not use our definition of these performance measures, caution should be exercised when comparing our FFO, Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD to that of other REITs. These financial performance measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") (these measures do not include changes in operating assets and liabilities) and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net earnings as an indication of performance, or to net cash flow from operating activities as determined by GAAP as a measure of liquidity, and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.
Funds From Operations - FFO
FFO, as defined by NAREIT and applied by us, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, if any. The Company's computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from that of the Company; therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing our Company's FFO to that of other REITs. Diluted FFO assumes the exercise of stock options and other potentially dilutive securities. Normalized FFO excludes from FFO certain items which, due to their infrequent or unpredictable nature, may create some difficulty in comparing FFO for the current period to similar prior periods, and may include, but are not limited to, impairment of non-real estate assets, gains and losses attributable to the acquisition and disposition of assets and liabilities, and recoveries of previous write-downs.
FFO and Normalized FFO are important supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative, and should be supplemented with a measure such as FFO. The term FFO was designed by the REIT industry to address this issue.
Funds Available for Distribution - FAD
In addition to the adjustments included in the calculation of Normalized FFO, Normalized FAD excludes the impact of any straight-line rent revenue, amortization of the original issue discount on our senior unsecured notes, amortization of debt issuance costs, non-cash stock based compensation, as well as certain non-cash items related to our equity method investment.
Normalized FAD is an important supplemental performance measure for a REIT. GAAP requires a lessor to recognize contractual lease payments into income on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease. This straight-line adjustment has the effect of reporting lease income that is significantly more or less than the contractual cash flows received pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement. GAAP also requires any discount or premium related to indebtedness and debt issuance costs to be amortized as non-cash adjustments to earnings. The Company also adjusts Normalized FAD for the net change in the allowance for expected credit losses, non-cash stock based compensation, senior housing portfolio capital expenditures as well as certain non-cash items related to equity method investments such as straight-line lease expense and amortization of purchase accounting adjustments. Normalized FAD is an important supplemental measure of liquidity for a REIT as a useful indicator of the ability to distribute dividends to stockholders.
Net Operating Income
Net operating income ("NOI") is a U.S. non-GAAP supplemental financial measure used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate. NOI is defined as total revenues, less tenant reimbursements and property operating expenses. The Company believes NOI provides investors relevant and useful information as it measures the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. The Company uses NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our properties.
