Speaker #3: Thank you, Lauren, and good morning, everybody. Thank you for joining us. The CareTrust flywheel cranked up a few years ago, when we hit around seven times our lifetime annual average of investments in 2024 and again in 2025.

David Sedgwick: Thank you, Lauren, good morning, everybody. Thank you for joining us. The CareTrust flywheel cranked up a few years ago when we hit around seven times our lifetime annual average of investments in 2024 and again in 2025. The team shows no signs of slowing. In fact, the opposite is true. After two back-to-back record-setting years, we are again on pace to deliver in a big way for our operators and shareholders. Last quarter was the single largest investment quarter in our company's history, excluding M&A activity, with approximately $900 million of investments at a blended yield of 8.9%. James, Kyle, Joe, Trey, Josh, JP, Nick, Martin, and Killian, that's the dream team right there responsible for a year's worth of investments in one quarter. I am so proud of them and proud of the entire CareTrust team across the board. Accounting, asset management, finance, tax, legal, data, operations.

Speaker #3: I'm so proud of them, and proud of the entire CareTrust team across the board—accounting, asset management, finance, tax, legal, data, and operations. Everyone is rowing hard together to make this year a three-peat of record performance.

David Sedgwick: Everyone is rowing hard together to make this year a three-peat of record performance. Q2 results achieved record investments in a quarter, record revenues, record FFO per share, and a healthy raise to guidance, built on a foundation of record operator lease coverage and operator quality care measures. Let me expand on that foundation just a little bit. We are stoked to see our operator quality care measures exceed the industry averages for overall star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, successful discharges, and readmission rates. Let me repeat that. Our operators outperform industry averages for overall star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, successful discharges, and readmission rates after they've had a chance to manage these buildings for at least four years.

Speaker #3: In my 2025 annual report letter, I discussed how mission-critical it is for us to lease our properties to high-quality operators, and how we view the relationship between them and the value of our real estate investments.

David Sedgwick: In my 2025 annual report letter, I discussed how mission-critical it is for us to lease our properties to high-quality operators and how we view the relationship between them and the value of our real estate investments. A quality operator is one who is driven by a mission, focuses their resources first on becoming the employer of choice, and through that, becomes the quality care provider of choice in their market. Only after achieving sustained quality care outcomes can a provider and the real estate they operate achieve sustainable financial stability. We have seen this formula for success prove out over the last 25 years. A CareTrust operator is one who harmonizes mission-driven culture with the clinical and financial sophistication to adapt to an ever-changing environment. We apply those first principles to skilled nursing and senior housing alike. We invest for the long term.

Speaker #3: We apply those first principles to skilled nursing and senior housing alike. We invest for the long term. The price we pay and the operator we choose are intended to result in long-term quality care.

David Sedgwick: The price we pay and the operator we choose are intended to result in long-term quality care and, as a result, compounding value creation. That solid operator foundation and orientation allows us to grow in a sustainable and accelerated way across our three growth engines. Year to date, we have already closed on approximately $1.5 billion. Looking forward, the pipeline continues to reload, and deal flow continues to be active and interesting across skilled nursing, care homes, and SHOP, both in the US and the UK. With the balance sheet as strong as it is, the team stronger than ever before, the opportunity set expanded, great relationships with partners and new and existing high-quality operators, there has simply never been a more exciting time for CareTrust. With that, I'll hand it off to James for a report on investment activity and the acquisition landscape. James?

Speaker #3: With that, I'll hand it off to James for a report on investment activity and the acquisition landscape. James.

Speaker #4: Thanks, Dave. Good morning, everyone. During the second quarter, we closed on investments totaling approximately $900 million at a blended, stabilized yield of 8.9%. That capital was deployed across the full breadth of the platform.

James Callister: Thanks, Dave. Good morning, everyone. During Q2, we closed on investments totaling approximately $900 million at a blended, stabilized yield of 8.9%. That capital was deployed across the full breadth of the platform. US skilled nursing sale-leasebacks with quality operators in multiple geographies, the continued expansion of our UK care homes platform, sourced and executed by our London-based team, further growth in our SHOP portfolio, and relationship-driven real estate loans, primarily to skilled nursing operators, closed either alongside asset acquisitions or in anticipation of them. As Dave noted, we haven't slowed down since the quarter ended.

Speaker #4: US skilled nursing sale leasebacks with quality operators in multiple geographies, the continued expansion of our UK care homes platform, sourced and executed by our London-based team, further growth in our shop portfolio, and relationship-driven real estate loans.

Speaker #4: Primarily to skilled nursing operators, closed either alongside asset acquisitions or in anticipation of them. And as Dave noted, we haven't slowed down since the quarter ended.

Speaker #4: Since June 30, we've closed on an additional approximately $308 million at a blended, stabilized yield of approximately 7.8%. Headlining that activity was a 16-property UK care homes portfolio, net leased to a new operator relationship for CareTrust, joined by a two-community, $65 million addition to our SHOP platform.

James Callister: Since 30 June, we've closed on an additional approximately $308 million at a blended stabilized yield of approximately 7.8%. Headlining that activity was a 16 property UK care homes portfolio net leased to a new operator relationship for CareTrust, joined by a 2 community, $65 million addition to our SHOP platform. Taken together, our 2026 investments now stand at approximately $1.5 billion year to date. Breaking that down, roughly $735 million in US triple net skilled nursing and seniors housing, approximately $397 million in UK care homes, approximately $240 million in loans, and approximately $81 million in SHOP. Turning to what's ahead. The pipeline sits at approximately $540 million, roughly two-thirds skilled nursing and one-third loans to strategic partners, plus UK care homes. It's a healthy mix. Some singles and doubles alongside mid to large portfolio opportunities. You'll note the immediate pipe doesn't include SHOP.

Speaker #4: It's a healthy mix. Some singles and doubles alongside mid to large portfolio opportunities. You'll note the immediate pipe doesn't include shop. That's really just a function of timing and discipline.

James Callister: That's really just a function of timing and discipline. The team continues to deepen relationships, including with high performing operators, and we are confident these relationships will drive attractive on and off market opportunities that we expect to convert in future quarters and give us a long runway to scale that portfolio in both the US and the UK. Our usual reminder on methodology, the quoted pipe includes only deals we have a reasonable level of confidence we can lock up and close within the next 12 months. It typically excludes larger portfolios still under review. Stepping back for a moment, what gives us real confidence is that all three of our growth engines are producing. In skilled nursing, deal flow remains deep and steady, with proprietary opportunities generated through longstanding relationships.

Speaker #4: And our usual reminder on methodology. The quoted pipe includes only deals we have a reasonable level of confidence we can lock up and close within the next 12 months.

Speaker #4: And it typically excludes larger portfolios still under review. Stepping back for a moment, what gives us real confidence is that all three of our growth engines are producing.

Speaker #4: And in skilled nursing, deal flow remains deep and steady, with proprietary opportunities generated through long-standing relationships. In SHOP, even amid stiff competition and compressing cap rates, we're pursuing the right assets with the right operators and see a long runway to scale that portfolio in the quarters and years ahead.

James Callister: In SHOP, even amid stiff competition and compressing cap rates, we're pursuing the right assets with the right operators and see a long runway to scale that portfolio in the quarters and years ahead. In the UK, our London-based team has widened our aperture considerably. New operators, new sources of deal flow, and a pipeline that keeps building. Across all three, the team continues to surface attractive opportunities to deploy capital, we like our position in each of these markets. That growth will stay grounded in the same fundamentals that have served us well: disciplined underwriting, durable operator partnerships, and a creative, collaborative approach to structuring. With that, I'll hand it to Derek to walk through the quarter's financial results.

Derek Bunker: As of today, we have approximately 16.6 million shares remaining unsettled under forward sale agreements, representing approximately $671.4 million in gross proceeds available to fund future investment activity. In yesterday's earnings press release, we raised our full year 2026 guidance, reflecting our year-to-date investment activity, including the volume we've closed since quarter end. We're now projecting normalized FFO per share of $2.03 to $2.06, and normalized FAD per share of $2.01 to $2.04. At the midpoint, that represents growth of 16.2% in normalized FFO per share and approximately 15.1% in normalized FAD per share compared to full year 2025 results. Our updated guidance is based on a weighted average diluted share count of 233 million shares and includes the following key assumptions.

In addition, we have roughly $785.8 million of capacity available under our ATM program.

Speaker #2: James , maybe if I could start with you . You gave some helpful color in the opening remarks , especially about building out the shop pipeline .

John Kilichowski: James, maybe if I could start with you. You gave some helpful color in the opening remarks, especially about building out the SHOP pipeline and SHOP not being mentioned in the current pipeline. Could you talk a little bit more about building those relationships with operators, how that'll eventually translate into volumes, and how we should think about the cadence of that?

Speaker #2: And it not being mentioned in the Or shop not being mentioned in the current pipeline . Could you talk a little bit more about building those relationships with operators and how that will eventually translate into volumes , and how we should think about the cadence of that

Speaker #3: Yeah , sure . I mean , I think that it's hard to predict the cadence because you never really sure what's going to hit the market or what off market is going to come , but I think that building relationships with these operators and managers , finding the ones you can use in different regions of the country or have proven track records there that have maybe experiences with other publics and their reporting and back office just really allows you to more quickly pursue transactions that come up .

James Callister: Yeah, sure. I think that it's hard to predict the cadence, John, because you're never really sure what's going to hit the market or what off-market's going to come. I think that building relationships with these operators and managers, finding the ones you can use in different regions of the country or have proven track records there that have maybe experiences with other publics and their reporting and back office, just really allows you to more quickly pursue transactions that come up. It opens up the off-market pipeline as you develop relationships with them.

Speaker #3: It opens up the off-market pipeline as you develop relationships with them. And really, as you start to develop frameworks with them of what a deal with them would look like.

James Callister: Really, as you really start to develop frameworks with them of what your deal with them would look like, the terms on which you do it, and you get really all that kind of pre-baked so you can react quickly when the right deal in the right area comes up for you to work with that particular operator or manager. I think the team's done a great job of developing a lot of those relationships and being ready really to continue and ramp up pursuing acquisitions in different parts of the country.

Speaker #3: The terms on which you do it and you get really all that kind of pre-baked . So you can react quickly when the right deal in the right area comes up for you to work with .

Speaker #3: That particular operator or manager . And I think the teams going a great job of developing a lot of those relationships and , and , you know , being ready really to continue and ramp up pursuing acquisitions in different parts of the country

John Kilichowski: Mm-hmm. Would you also mind talking about the portfolio deals outside of the quoted pipeline? Maybe you don't want to speak to specific deals, but can you talk about the composition of where you're seeing those opportunities? Or is it more SNF tilted? Are there SHOP portfolios out there that you're currently evaluating? I'm just kind of curious what the composition looks like more than anything.

Speaker #2: And then , would you also mind talking about the portfolio deals outside of the quoted pipeline ? You know , maybe you don't want to speak to specific deals , but can you talk about the composition of where you're seeing those opportunities ?

Speaker #2: Or is it more sniff tilted ? Are there shot portfolios out there that you're currently evaluating ? I'm just kind of curious what the composition looks like more than anything

Speaker #3: Yeah . I mean , there's a few , you know , portfolios tinkering around out there . I would say there's 1 or 2 shop portfolios that are larger out there that we're reviewing to see how attractive they are and whether we want to pursue them .

James Callister: Yeah. There's a few portfolios tinkering around out there. I would say there's one or two SHOP portfolios that are larger out there that we're reviewing to see how attractive they are and whether we want to pursue them. There's also, I'd say the same for SNF and one or two in the UK as well. There's always seemingly a couple of them floating around, but there are a couple of SHOP ones out there that we're looking at. We'll see if they're really worth us pursuing or if we think that there's traction there.

Speaker #3: There's also , I'd say the same for , you know , sniff and 1 or 2 in the UK as well . So there's always a seemingly a couple of them floating around , but there are a couple of ones out there that we're looking at , but we'll see if they're really , you know , worth us pursuing or if we , we think that there's traction there .

Speaker #2: Got it. Thank you.

John Kilichowski: Got it. Thank you.

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from Austin Wurschmidt with KeyBanc Capital Markets . Please go ahead

Operator 3: Your next question comes from Austin Wurschmidt with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from Austin Wurschmidt with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Speaker #4: Thanks. Good morning out there. With respect to the care home portfolio investment in August, I think this might be one of the largest purchases you've done in the UK since acquiring Care Right. But what I'm wondering is, how much does this scale impact pricing, and do you view this deal as opening the door to potential future deals, given the new relationship there with the operator?

Austin Wurschmidt: Thanks. Good morning out there. With respect to the care home portfolio investment in August, I think this might be one of the largest purchases you've done in the UK since acquiring Care REIT. What I'm wondering is, how much did the scale impact pricing? Do you view this deal to open the door to potential future deals given the new relationship there with the operator?

Speaker #3: Yeah , I mean , the scale did impact the pricing a little bit . I would say that it 16 facilities , it doesn't you know , deals that size in the UK don't come around all the time .

James Callister: Yeah. The scale did impact the pricing a little bit, Austin. I would say that it was 16 facilities. Deals that size in the UK don't come around all the time. There's definitely a teeny bit of a premium there. We definitely see it as a launching point with this operator. We feel like they've demonstrated in the past their ability to operate at scale and to operate well at scale. This is really their first jump back in after selling their portfolio last year. We definitely see it as a launching pad to grow with them in the future.

Speaker #3: So there's definitely a teeny bit of a premium there . We definitely see it as a launching point with this operator . We feel like they've demonstrated in the past their ability to operate , you at scale and to operate well at scale .

Speaker #3: And this is really their first jump back in after selling their portfolio last year. So we definitely see it as a launching pad to grow with them in the future.

Speaker #4: And then Dave , as you think about tenant and geographic concentration and , you know , kind of sure , ensuring that , you know , you do have the right diversification , balanced with , you know , partnering with the highest quality operators consistent with the above average metrics that you highlight in your remarks .

Austin Wurschmidt: Dave, as you think about tenant and geographic concentration, and kind of ensuring that you do have the right diversification balanced with partnering with the highest quality operators, consistent with the above average metrics that you highlight in your opening remarks, how do you think about striking that right balance moving forward?

Speaker #4: I mean , how do you think about striking that right balance , moving forward

Speaker #5: Well , I think one of our our first principles as we started the company was that the underwriting always starts and ends with who is the operator going to be ?

David Sedgwick: Well, I think one of our first principles as we started the company was that the underwriting always starts and ends with who is the operator going to be. If we do not have what we think is a quality operator to match with a great opportunity, we're simply going to pass on that deal. We'd much rather take an A operator in a B market than settle for a mediocre operator in a great market. That's just in our DNA. That's the discipline we have. If we do have, which we do have great operators, we don't mind concentration building with one or another, because over time, the diversification and concentration sort of takes care of itself.

Dave Sedgwick: Well, I think one of our first principles as we started the company was that the underwriting always starts and ends with who is the operator going to be. If we do not have what we think is a quality operator to match with a great opportunity, we're simply going to pass on that deal. We'd much rather take an A operator in a B market than settle for a mediocre operator in a great market. That's just in our DNA. That's the discipline we have. If we do have, which we do have great operators, we don't mind concentration building with one or another, because over time, the diversification and concentration sort of takes care of itself.

Speaker #5: And if we do not have what we think is a quality operator to match with a great opportunity , we're simply going to pass on that deal .

Speaker #5: We'd much rather take an A operator in A , in A , B market than settle for a mediocre operator in a great market .

Speaker #5: So that's , that's that's just in our DNA . That's discipline . We have . And if we do have which we which we do have great operators , we don't mind concentration Building with one or another because over time , the the diversification and concentration sort of takes care of itself

Speaker #4: Appreciate the thoughts. Thanks for the time.

Austin Wurschmidt: Appreciate the thoughts. Thanks for the time.

Speaker #5: Thanks , Austin

David Sedgwick: Thanks, Austin.

Dave Sedgwick: Thanks, Austin.

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from Juan Sanabria with BMO Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Operator 3: Your next question comes from Juan Sanabria with BMO Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from Juan Sanabria with BMO Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Speaker #6: Hi, this is Robin Hanlon, sitting in for Juan. I was curious if there are any opportunities to convert existing senior housing tenants to either SHOP in the US or UK?

Robin Hanlon: Hi, this is Robin Hanlon sitting in for Juan. I was curious if there are any opportunities to convert existing senior housing tenants to either SHOP in the US or UK?

Operator: Hi, this is Robin Hanlon sitting in for Juan. I was curious if there are any opportunities to convert existing senior housing tenants to either SHOP in the US or UK?

Speaker #5: You know , we've we've certainly thought about that . The challenge that we have in doing that is , is that our senior housing portfolio here in the US and in the UK covers rent really well .

David Sedgwick: We've certainly thought about that. The challenge that we have in doing that is that our senior housing portfolio here in the US and in the UK covers rent really well. There's very little motivation for the operators to walk away from that type of lease coverage. I think a lot of those conversions that have happened in our space have been kind of from a defensive posture where maybe things haven't been performing super well or there hasn't been really strong coverage. It was more of a defensive play to convert to SHOP. Because ours covers so well, there's less opportunity to do that. However, as we look forward, everything's on the table.

Dave Sedgwick: We've certainly thought about that. The challenge that we have in doing that is that our senior housing portfolio here in the US and in the UK covers rent really well. There's very little motivation for the operators to walk away from that type of lease coverage. I think a lot of those conversions that have happened in our space have been kind of from a defensive posture where maybe things haven't been performing super well or there hasn't been really strong coverage. It was more of a defensive play to convert to SHOP. Because ours covers so well, there's less opportunity to do that. However, as we look forward, everything's on the table.

Speaker #5: And so there's there's very little motivation for the operators to , to walk away from that type of , of lease coverage . I think a lot of those conversions that have happened in our space have been kind of from a defensive posture where maybe things haven't been performing super well or there hasn't been really strong coverage .

Speaker #5: And so it was more of a defensive play to convert to , to shop So because ours covers so well , there's less opportunity to do that .

Speaker #5: And however , you know , as we look forward , everything's on the table . But I think more likely for us , shop will be coming from being on offense and identifying great assets that we really want to own .

David Sedgwick: I think more likely for us, SHOP will be coming from being on offense and identifying great assets that we really want to own and have operations responsibility for with great partners.

Dave Sedgwick: I think more likely for us, SHOP will be coming from being on offense and identifying great assets that we really want to own and have operations responsibility for with great partners.

Speaker #5: And, and, and have operations responsibility for, with, with great partners.

Speaker #6: And then as a follow up , I wanted to ask on where things stand with Pax today . What's the will and the willingness to , to move forward ?

Robin Hanlon: As a follow-up, I wanted to ask on where things stand with PAX today. What's the willingness to move forward? What have the discussions been sort of year to date?

Dave Sedgwick: As a follow-up, I wanted to ask on where things stand with PAX today. What's the willingness to move forward? What have the discussions been sort of year to date?

Speaker #6: What have the discussions been, sort of, year to date?

Speaker #5: Yeah . So we're really pleased to see Pax performance this year . Happy to see them . Back to normal filing cadence . Really happy to see their investments in in compliance and happy to see them back on , on the growth path .

David Sedgwick: Yeah. We're really pleased to see PAX's performance this year. Happy to see them back to normal filing cadence. Really happy to see their investments in compliance and happy to see them back on the growth path. We haven't done anything with PAX for a while, that's not for lack of trying. We have looked at some deals with them and we'd be happy to grow with them again if the opportunity presents itself.

Dave Sedgwick: Yeah. We're really pleased to see PAX's performance this year. Happy to see them back to normal filing cadence. Really happy to see their investments in compliance and happy to see them back on the growth path. We haven't done anything with PAX for a while, that's not for lack of trying. We have looked at some deals with them and we'd be happy to grow with them again if the opportunity presents itself.

Speaker #5: We haven't done anything with Pax for a while , but that's not for lack of trying . We have looked at some deals with them and we'd be happy to to to grow with them again .

Speaker #5: If the opportunity presents itself

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from Michael Goldsmith with UBS . Please go ahead

Operator 3: Your next question comes from Michael Goldsmith with UBS. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from Michael Goldsmith with UBS. Please go ahead.

Speaker #7: Good morning . Thanks a lot for taking my question . James , in your prepared remarks when talking about the UK , I think you talked about widening the aperture .

Michael Goldsmith: Good morning. Thanks a lot for taking my question. James, in your prepared remarks when talking about the UK, I think you talked about widening the aperture. Maybe you can provide a little bit more color of what you meant specifically by that.

Speaker #7: So maybe you can provide a little bit more color of what you meant specifically by that

Speaker #3: Sure . I think what I mean by that is that I think the team has done a great job of going beyond just being marketed deals , but also using operator relationships and other relationships they have , or that we've formed to , to bring , you know , more pipeline or sources of deals than just the traditionally marketed deals .

James Callister: Sure. I think what I mean by that is that I think the team there has done a great job of going beyond just seeing marketed deals, also using operator relationships and other relationships they have or that we've formed to bring more pipeline or sources of deals than just the traditionally marketed deals. I think also that, as you start to look at maybe structures beyond just the triple net, they've done a great job of starting to form relationships for us to start looking at deals like that that might work in other structures like a SHOP if something presented itself. I think Michael, that's pretty much what I mean, just opening the way in which deals come to us beyond just traditionally marketed deals thus really increasing the chances we get more opportunities.

Speaker #3: I think also that , you know , as you start to look at , you know , maybe structures beyond just the triple net , they've done a great job of starting to form relationships for us to start looking at , you know , deals like that that might work in other structures like , you know , a shop .

Speaker #3: If something presented itself . So I think , Michael , that's pretty much what I mean . Just opening the , the way in which deals come to us beyond just traditionally marketed deals and thus really increasing the chances we get more opportunities

Speaker #7: Got it . And maybe just to follow up on John's question earlier about the no shop in the pipeline , you know , I think you cited timing and discipline .

Michael Goldsmith: Got it. Maybe just to follow up on John's question earlier about the no SHOP in the pipeline. I think you cited timing and discipline. Like, obviously, you can only take advantage of the opportunities that you see. At the same time you are trying to maintain a certain level of discipline around what you're seeing, also you know, right, like the underlying strength of the business is so strong and it feels like everyone's outperforming their own underwriting. How do you kind of manage that across the portfolio and your opportunities that you're seeing and making sure that you're in on the right deals also, making sure you're not missing out on things, also not just acquiring just for the sake of acquiring?

Speaker #7: So like , obviously like , how do you like , you can only take advantage of the opportunities that you see at the same time you are trying to maintain a certain level of discipline around , you know , what you're seeing , but then also , you know , like the underlying strength of the business is so strong and , and , you know , it feels like everyone's outperforming their own underwriting .

Speaker #7: So, how do you kind of manage that across the portfolio and your opportunities that you're seeing, and making sure that you're in on the right deals?

Speaker #7: And then also and making sure you're not missing out on things , but also , but also not just acquiring just for the sake of acquiring

Speaker #3: Yeah , I mean , it's a tough balance , I would say . But I , you know , I think what we try to do is we try to really look at deals and pick our spots , right .

James Callister: Yeah, I mean it's a tough balance I would say, I think what we try to do is we try to really look at deals and pick our spots, right? We try to find those opportunities where we feel like there's real confidence that we have that this can get to an IRR that we really want to pursue and we'll stretch to try to go get it. On the other hand, we don't feel a huge compulsion to have to stretch to do a deal that doesn't make sense for us. We're finding opportunities to put money to work and really good deals on the SNF side and in the UK care home side. When it comes to SHOP, we're going to continue developing relationships, continue to look at and underwrite a lot of deals.

Speaker #3: And we try to find those opportunities where we feel like there's real confidence that we have , that this can get to an IRR that we really want to pursue .

Speaker #3: And will stretch to try to go get it . But on the other hand , we don't feel a compulsion to have to stretch to do a deal that doesn't make sense for us .

Speaker #3: We're finding opportunities to put money to work in really good deals . On the sniff side . And in the UK , care home side .

Speaker #3: And so when it comes to shop , we're going to continue developing relationships , continue to look at and underwrite a lot of deals .

Speaker #3: We're going to continue to pick our spots with the right partners , operators and stretch to try to go get those opportunities , but not go beyond what we feel is , you know , wise or prudent just in the name of growth .

James Callister: We're going to continue to pick our spots with the right partners, operators, and stretch to try to go get those opportunities, not go beyond what we feel is wise or prudent just in the name of growth. I think we work really hard to try to pick those spots

Speaker #3: So I think we work really hard to try to pick those spots , knowing that we don't have to do a deal to grow when we've got opportunities with sniffs and care homes

Derek Bunker: Knowing that we don't have to do a deal to grow when we've got opportunities with SNFs and care homes.

James Callister: Knowing that we don't have to do a deal to grow when we've got opportunities with SNFs and care homes.

Speaker #7: Thank you very much . Good luck in the back half .

Michael Goldsmith: Thank you very much. Good luck in the back half.

Speaker #5: Thanks , Michael .

Derek Bunker: Thanks, Michael.

James Callister: Thanks, Michael.

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from Michael Carroll with RBC Capital Markets . Please go ahead

Operator 3: Your next question comes from Michael Carroll with RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from Michael Carroll with RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Speaker #8: Yeah , thanks , James . Just with the increased private market interest in the health care real estate space in general , I mean , how has that impacted acquisition cap rates ?

Michael Carroll: Yeah. Thanks. James, just with the increased private market interest in the healthcare real estate space in general, how has that impacted acquisition cap rates? Have you seen cap rates just broadly drift lower? Is there any one property type where you've seen that more apparent? I know, I think in the past you highlighted there's probably the most competition in the SHOP space. What have you seen on the SNF space and maybe the UK care home space?

Speaker #8: I mean , have you seen cap rates just broadly drift lower . And is there any one property type where you've seen that more apparent ?

Speaker #8: I know, I think in the past you highlighted there's probably the most competition in the SHOP space, but what have you seen on the SNF space and maybe the UK care home space?

Speaker #3: I mean , yeah , shop is pretty well , you know , out there there's a lot more private market entrants right now .

James Callister: Yeah. SHOP is pretty well out there. There's a lot more private market entrants right now. Cap rates are compressing as a result. We've got more competitive processes. I think in the SNF world, we don't see too much of that really at all. I think you see the same players that there's been over the past several years, same buyer pool, I think, really competing for the deals. Portfolio deals in SNFs, larger deals, you maybe see a little teeny bit of compression in cap rates, but overall, you still see the same where they've been. It's just really having relationships that help you source more off-market because there is more off-market than listed in the SNF world. In the UK, I think you do see a slow influx of additional players on the private entrance side for sure.

Speaker #3: Cap rates are compressing as a result . You've got more competitive processes . I think in the sniff world we don't see too much of that really at all .

Speaker #3: I think you see the same players that there's been over the past several years . Same buyer pool . I think really competing for the deals .

Speaker #3: And so , you know , portfolio deals and sniffs , larger deals , you know , you maybe see a little teeny bit of compression in cap rates , but overall , you still see the same where they've been .

Speaker #3: It's just really having relationships that help you source more off-market, because there is more off-market than listed in the SNF world.

Speaker #3: And in the UK . I think you do see a slow influx of additional players on the private entrance side , for sure .

Speaker #3: I don't think we've seen it impact dramatically the competitive process , but I would say you see an uptick in buyer entrance , but I haven't seen it really have that much of an impact at all on on cap rates or , you know , bidding up processes

James Callister: I don't think we've seen it impact dramatically the competitive process. I would say you see an uptick in buyer entrance, I haven't seen it really have that much of an impact at all on cap rates or bidding up processes.

Speaker #8: Okay , great . And then I guess Derek or Dave , can you talk about the purchase options ? I know that you have a few meeting your tenants can potentially acquire one of your current assets .

Michael Carroll: Great. I guess Derek or David, can you talk about the purchase options? I know that you have a few, meaning your tenants can potentially acquire one of your current assets. I know there was a window that opened up for one specific smaller purchase option, and there's a few that's coming up here over the next few quarters or so. How should we think about that? Do you think that those could potentially be executed on, or is that just an option out there that will just kind of expire eventually?

Speaker #8: I know there was a window that opened up for one specific , smaller purchase option , and there's a few that's coming up here over the next few quarters or so .

Speaker #8: I mean , how should we think about that ? Or do you think that those could potentially be executed on or is that just an option out there that will just kind of expire eventually

Speaker #5: Hey , Mike , you know , we do expect and kind of bake in that there's a high likelihood that those will be exercised .

Derek Bunker: Hey, Mike. We do expect and kind of bake in that there's a high likelihood that those will be exercised. Of course, until we get the notices of exercise, it's always uncertain, and people's capital needs and plans change all the time. I think we're constantly in discussion with those tenants that have options. It's a good relationship, it's collaborative, and it's not the end of the world if they exercise. We always look to do deals down the road with them in the future. As of right now, we put a high likelihood that those would be exercised.

Speaker #5: Of course , until we get the notices of , of exercise . You know , it's always uncertain . And people's capital needs and plans change all the time .

Speaker #5: But I think we're , you know , we're constantly in discussion with those tenants that have options . It's a good relationship . It's a collaborative not the end of the world .

Speaker #5: If they exercise , we always look to do deals down the road with them in the future . But , you know , as of right now , we put a high likelihood that those would be exercised

Speaker #8: Okay , great . Thank you .

Michael Carroll: Okay, great. Thank you.

Speaker #5: Thanks , Mike .

Derek Bunker: Thanks, Mike.

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from Farrell Granath with Bank of America . Please go ahead

Operator 3: Your next question comes from Farrell Granath with Bank of America. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from Farrell Granath with Bank of America. Please go ahead.

Speaker #9: Hi . Good morning . Thanks for taking my questions . My first one is on the composition of your financing receivables . I know that that can also refer to your sales leaseback .

Farrell Granath: Hey, good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. My first one is on the composition of your financing receivables. I know that can also refer to your sale-leasebacks. Curious if what percentage of that is potentially SNFs, given that SNFs has been a smaller proportion of your acquisition pipeline as outright purchases.

Speaker #9: So curious if what percentage of that is potentially snfs , given that Snfs has been a smaller proportion of your acquisition pipeline as outright purchases ?

Speaker #5: Yeah . Hey , Farrell , it's Derek . It's almost 100% sniff these are really exciting , compelling sale leaseback opportunities . You know , the bulk of the financing receivables have purchase options that are eight , nine years out .

Derek Bunker: Yeah. Hey, Farrell, it's Derek. It's almost 100% SNF. These are really exciting, compelling sale-leaseback opportunities. The bulk of the financing receivables have purchase options that are 8, 9 years out. There's a lot of uncertainty in the meantime about those exercise. We view them more in substance as a owned triple net. For accounting purposes, it falls within the financing receivable bucket. These are really high-quality assets in the skilled nursing space.

Speaker #5: And there's a lot of uncertainty in the meantime about those exercise . We view them more in substance as owned triple net , but for accounting purposes , it falls within the financing receivable bucket .

Speaker #5: But these are really quality, high-quality assets in the skilled nursing space.

Speaker #9: Okay. Thank you. And then also, just given the growing debate around the path of Fed policy, I'm curious how you're thinking about your cost of capital, and especially being able to leverage either your balance sheet or also continue to lean into your equity.

Farrell Granath: Okay. Thank you. Also just given the growing debate around the path of Fed policy, I'm curious how you're thinking about your cost of capital and especially being able to leverage either your balance sheet or also continue to lean into your equity, if there's any updated thoughts.

Speaker #9: If there's any updated thoughts

Speaker #5: Yeah , you know , we prepare for all uncertainties . And I think it's a benefit of having relatively low leverage . It gives us the optionality depending upon fed policy and , and other macro factors .

Derek Bunker: Yeah. We prepare for all uncertainties. I think it's a benefit of having relatively low leverage. It gives us the optionality, depending upon Fed policy and other macro factors. We really like carrying a little balance on the revolver. It's competitive for us. We really like the price of our equity right now. We've got the optionality to do something longer term or a term loan. All those are on the table. We're looking at the full toolkit. For right now, looking at the pipeline, we've got earmarked probably the settlement of our equity forwards, and then some. I think we've given ourselves some runway to maneuver and be flexible depending upon how those macro conditions continue to unfold. Right now we're really just pricing it out and watching those rates daily and trying to be opportunistic about it.

Speaker #5: So we really like carrying a balance on the revolver . It's it's competitive for us . We really like the price of our of our equity right now .

Speaker #5: We've got the optionality to do something longer term or term loan . All those are on the table . We're looking at the full toolkit .

Speaker #5: And for for right now , looking at the pipeline , we've got earmarked probably the settlement of our equity forwards and then some .

Speaker #5: And so I think we've given ourselves some runway to maneuver, and be flexible depending upon how those macro conditions continue to unfold.

Speaker #5: But right now, we're really just pricing it out and watching those rates daily, and trying to, you know, be opportunistic about it.

Speaker #9: Okay. Thank you so much.

Farrell Granath: Okay. Thank you so much.

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from Rich Anderson with Cantor Fitzgerald . Please go ahead .

Operator 3: Your next question comes from Rich Anderson with Cantor Fitzgerald. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from Rich Anderson with Cantor Fitzgerald. Please go ahead.

Speaker #10: Hey , thanks . Good morning . So there's one pretty clear disconnect going on in your world . And that is you guys are not finding many in the way of shop transactions .

Rich Anderson: Hey, thanks. Good morning. There's one pretty clear disconnect going on in your world, and that is you guys are not finding many in the way of SHOP transactions, and I know you're working hard at it. Some of your peers are. It's raining SHOP. You're not going to talk about their process. You're the one with the best cost to capital in the group. I guess it all doesn't sort of ring clear to me, except for the fact that you're going to be very disciplined in all that. When you're on the ground looking at deals that you're competing with, how far off are you missing from the ultimate winner? Is it coming down to pricing?

Speaker #10: And I know you're working hard at it , but some of your peers are it's raining shop . You know , and so you're not gonna , you're not gonna talk about their process , but and you're , you're the one with the best cost of capital in the group .

Speaker #10: So I guess it all doesn't sort of ring clear to me, except for the fact that, you know, you're going to be very disciplined in all of that.

Speaker #10: But when you're on the ground looking at deals that you're competing with , I mean , how far off are you missing from the ultimate winner ?

Speaker #10: Is it coming down to pricing ? You know , what is it that's causing yours to be such a slow out of the gate process and shop , whereas others are really moving quite fast

Rich Anderson: What is it that's causing yours to be such a slow out of the gate process in SHOP, whereas others are really moving quite fast?

Speaker #5: Maybe James can give a little bit of

David Sedgwick: Well, maybe James can give a little bit of more vibrant color to the specific question on how far off are we versus the competition. I would say one of the main differences between us and some of our peers is we view SHOP as a long-term complementary growth engine to the CareTrust story. I think some of our peers have really pivoted and gone all in on SHOP. With that type of publicized strategic change, there's quite a bit of motivation on their side to put money to work and show that they're executing on that new strategy. Whereas we have, I think, the luxury of being opportunistic across all three.

Dave Sedgwick: Well, maybe James can give a little bit of more vibrant color to the specific question on how far off are we versus the competition. I would say one of the main differences between us and some of our peers is we view SHOP as a long-term complementary growth engine to the CareTrust story. I think some of our peers have really pivoted and gone all in on SHOP. With that type of publicized strategic change, there's quite a bit of motivation on their side to put money to work and show that they're executing on that new strategy. Whereas we have, I think, the luxury of being opportunistic across all three.

Speaker #11: More .

Speaker #5: Vibrant color to the specific question on , you know , how , how far off are we versus the competition ? But I would say one of the main differences between us and some of our peers is You know , we have not we we view shop as a long term complementary growth engine to the care trust story .

Speaker #5: I think some of our peers have really pivoted and gone all in on shop . And with that type of publicly publicized strategic change , there's , there's quite a bit of Motivation on their side to put money to work and show that that that's , that they're executing on that new strategy .

Speaker #5: Whereas we have , I think the luxury of being opportunistic across all three . And if we have the ability to put double digit FFO per share growth by , by maintaining that discipline and being opportunistic across all three , I , we really prefer that approach than kind of putting ourselves in a corner per se to , to have to do a ton of shop to show that we're executing on a particular strategy .

David Sedgwick: If we have the ability to put double-digit FFO per share growth by maintaining that discipline and being opportunistic across all three, we really prefer that approach than kind of putting ourselves in a corner, per se, to have to do a ton of SHOP to show that we're executing on a particular strategy. I think that's high level why it appears that we've been more measured in our deployment of SHOP capital. I wouldn't be surprised either, Rich, if we did do a large SHOP portfolio deal in the future. For us, that can happen because there are portfolios out there that I think will eventually check all the boxes for us.

Dave Sedgwick: If we have the ability to put double-digit FFO per share growth by maintaining that discipline and being opportunistic across all three, we really prefer that approach than kind of putting ourselves in a corner, per se, to have to do a ton of SHOP to show that we're executing on a particular strategy. I think that's high level why it appears that we've been more measured in our deployment of SHOP capital. I wouldn't be surprised either, Rich, if we did do a large SHOP portfolio deal in the future. For us, that can happen because there are portfolios out there that I think will eventually check all the boxes for us.

Speaker #5: I think that's high level . Why it appears that we've been more measured in our In our deployment of shop capital , but I wouldn't be surprised either , Rich , if if we did do a large shop portfolio deal in the future for us , that can happen because there are portfolios out there that I think will eventually check all the boxes for us

Speaker #10: Okay. And James, any comment on where you're missing?

Rich Anderson: Okay. James, any comment on where you're missing?

Speaker #3: Yeah . I mean , look , it's no secret if you're missing , you're almost always missing on price , right ? Rich .

James Callister: Yeah. Look, it's no secret, if you're missing, you're almost always missing on price, right Rich? When we look at it and we look at a deal and we say, Look, what do we feel like the projections are here? What's the IRR going to be? What's the return?

Speaker #3: And so, when we look at it and we look at a deal, we say, "Look, what do we feel like the projections are here?"

Speaker #3: What's the IRR going to be ? What's the return ? What's the risk adjusted return ? And you start getting facilities that are portfolios that are in the mid 90s , occupancy , that are stable , where the pricing is going to a mid to low five cap , and you start looking at that versus a plethora of sniff and other opportunities that are going to be in the nines or high eights , and you start looking at the risk adjusted return and you think , you know , maybe it's wiser to put some allocated capital to where we have the most opportunities with a better risk adjusted return for us .

James Callister: What's the risk-adjusted return? You start getting facilities that are portfolios that are in the mid-90s occupancy that are stable, where the pricing's going to a mid to low 5 cap. You start looking at that versus a plethora of SNF and other opportunities that are going to be in the nines or high eights. You start looking at the risk-adjusted return, and you think maybe it's wiser to put some allocated capital to where we have the most opportunities with a better risk-adjusted return for us if the pricing is just going to be too risky for us and not get the returns that we're looking for. That's really what process that you go through.

Speaker #3: If the pricing is just going to be too risky for us and not get the returns that we're looking for, that's really the process that you go through.

Speaker #10: Yeah . Okay . And then last quickly for me , Dave , maybe for you , what do you like about the skilled nursing business ?

Rich Anderson: Yeah. Okay. Last quickly from me, Dave, maybe for you, what do you like about the skilled nursing business? I ask that question a little tongue in cheek, but you're obviously making a spread on your investments, but if for some reason the acquisition environment suddenly screeched to a halt, you'd be stuck with a 2% growth platform in US skilled nursing. Assuming I'm right about that, what is the draw to skilled nursing as an industry for you? I'm not suggesting it's right or wrong, I'm just asking the question, your perspective on it.

Speaker #10: And I asked that question a little tongue in cheek , but you're obviously making a spread on your investments . But if for some reason the acquisition environment suddenly screeched to a halt , you'd be stuck with a 2% growth platform in skilled U.S.

Speaker #10: skilled nursing . So , you know , assuming I'm right about that , like what is what is the what is the draw to skilled nursing as an industry for you ?

Speaker #10: And I'm not suggesting it's right or wrong; I'm just asking the question—your perspective on it.

David Sedgwick: As you know me, I personally, and we as a company, have a long relationship and history in skilled nursing. That's where we come from back in the Ensign days in 1999 when Ensign started. We know and love this business. We view it as a vital part of the healthcare continuum in the country. We see it as too important to fail. We saw that during the pandemic.

Speaker #5: That's that's where we come from back in the Ensign days in 1999 , when when Ensign started . So we know and love this this business .

Speaker #5: We we view it as a vital part of the healthcare continuum in the country . We see it as two two important to fail .

Speaker #5: We saw that during the pandemic, and we see, as the demographics continue to blow up over the next 25 years, that it will continue to be a really important part of the healthcare continuum.

Rich Anderson: Like that.

David Sedgwick: We see as the demographics continue to blow up over the next 25 years, that it will continue to be a really important part of the healthcare continuum. Not only that, because our history is so deep with skilled nursing, I think we do, as our lease coverage and track record demonstrates, I think we do a really good job of identifying the best operators out there who can do it the right way, providing high quality care. To James' earlier point, what it does is it produces really high risk-adjusted returns for us compared to just about any other asset class

Dave Sedgwick: We see as the demographics continue to blow up over the next 25 years, that it will continue to be a really important part of the healthcare continuum.

Speaker #5: Appreciate it . Thanks , Rich . All right here .

David Sedgwick: Thanks, Rich. All right.

Speaker #1: Next question comes from Alec Fegan with Baer . Please go ahead .

Operator 3: Your next question comes from Alec Feygin with Baird. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from Alec Feygin with Baird. Please go ahead.

Speaker #6: Hey .

Alec Feygin: Hey, thanks for taking my question. Are there any portfolio initiatives that you're working on with SNF operators, large or small?

Speaker #2: Thanks for taking my question. Are there any portfolio initiatives that you're working on with SNF operators, large or small?

Speaker #5: What do you—I'm not sure what you're asking. What do you mean? Portfolio initiatives.

David Sedgwick: I'm not sure what you're asking. What do you mean portfolio initiatives?

Dave Sedgwick: I'm not sure what you're asking. What do you mean portfolio initiatives?

Speaker #2: So, there's been some—there's been some other of your peers working on some pretty large portfolio initiatives, either replacing operators, making changes to leases, or extending leases.

Alec Feygin: There's been some other of your peers working on some pretty large portfolio initiatives, either replacing operators, doing changes to leases, extending leases. Is there any of that going on in your portfolio?

Speaker #2: Is there any of that going on in your portfolio?

Speaker #5: Oh No . I mean , there's always there's always some there's always scrutiny , right on the on the portfolio . But as you look in the SOP , you see just , really healthy lease coverage .

David Sedgwick: No. There's always scrutiny on the portfolio. As you look in the SOP, you see just really, really healthy lease coverage. Even with that, the asset management, portfolio management team here is always looking to improve and take assets from maybe weakening hands to stronger hands. There's nothing that's currently underway that would impact guidance or our results at all. Nothing of significance.

Dave Sedgwick: No. There's always scrutiny on the portfolio. As you look in the SOP, you see just really, really healthy lease coverage. Even with that, the asset management, portfolio management team here is always looking to improve and take assets from maybe weakening hands to stronger hands. There's nothing that's currently underway that would impact guidance or our results at all. Nothing of significance.

Speaker #5: But even even with that , there's the asset management portfolio management team here is always looking to improve . And , and take , take assets from maybe weakening hands to , to stronger hands .

Speaker #5: But there's nothing that's , that's currently underway that would impact , you know , guidance or our results at all . Nothing of significance

Alec Feygin: Got it. Thank you. That's it for me.

Speaker #2: Thank you. That's it for me.

Speaker #5: You bet. Have a good one.

David Sedgwick: You bet. Have a good one.

Dave Sedgwick: You bet. Have a good one.

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from Adi Rogers with Raymond James. Please go ahead.

Operator 3: Your next question comes from Austin Rogers with Raymond James. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from Austin Rogers with Raymond James. Please go ahead.

Speaker #11: Hey , guys . Good morning . It's Dave . I . I know , Dave that there's always headlines and risk from a regulatory standpoint out there .

Austin Rogers: Hey, guys. Good morning. It's Dave. I know, Dave, that there's always headlines and risks from a regulatory standpoint out there, but I'm wondering maybe to ask that question a different way. Are you seeing anything in the acquisition pipeline that either the operators are bringing you or you're increasingly turning down where there's more risk and vice versa? Are there asset types or areas where you're now feeling there's less risk that are opening up opportunities? I don't know if that's more rehab, less skilled, whatever the case might be. Are you seeing any shift within the mix in kind of the skilled nursing business that's given you this opportunity to continue to acquire so well?

[Analyst] (Raymond James): Hey, guys. Good morning. It's Dave. I know, Dave, that there's always headlines and risks from a regulatory standpoint out there, but I'm wondering maybe to ask that question a different way. Are you seeing anything in the acquisition pipeline that either the operators are bringing you or you're increasingly turning down where there's more risk and vice versa? Are there asset types or areas where you're now feeling there's less risk that are opening up opportunities? I don't know if that's more rehab, less skilled, whatever the case might be. Are you seeing any shift within the mix in kind of the skilled nursing business that's given you this opportunity to continue to acquire so well?

Speaker #11: But I’m wondering if maybe I could ask that question a different way. Are you seeing anything in the acquisition pipeline—either what the operators are bringing you, or what you are increasingly turning down—where there’s more risk, and vice versa?

Speaker #11: Are there asset types or , or areas where you're now feeling there's less risk that are opening up opportunities ? And I don't know if that's more rehab , less skilled , whatever the case might be .

Speaker #11: Are you seeing any shift within the mix in in kind of the skilled nursing business that's giving you this opportunity to continue to acquire ?

Speaker #11: So , so , so well .

Speaker #5: No , Dave , I characterize the skilled nursing environment right now as stable I think from a regulatory standpoint , from a reimbursement standpoint , there have definitely been Previous periods of time that have been more choppy .

David Sedgwick: No, Dave, I'd characterize the skilled nursing environment right now as stable. I think from a regulatory standpoint, from a reimbursement standpoint, there have definitely been previous periods of time that have been more choppy. Right now, I'd say it's really stable. I think the operators and we feel comfortable with it and there's quite an appetite to grow in today's environment.

Dave Sedgwick: No, Dave, I'd characterize the skilled nursing environment right now as stable. I think from a regulatory standpoint, from a reimbursement standpoint, there have definitely been previous periods of time that have been more choppy. Right now, I'd say it's really stable. I think the operators and we feel comfortable with it and there's quite an appetite to grow in today's environment.

Speaker #5: But right now , I'd say it's really stable . I think the operators and we feel comfortable with it . And , and there's , there's quite an appetite to , to grow in today's environment

Austin Rogers: Then maybe one follow-up. It's pretty small, but the loan to own that closed in Q3. Any details about that small asset? Then maybe a bigger question around that is that instructive or could that be instructive of any way where you might get more assets back that you'd want to own more quickly?

Speaker #11: And then maybe one follow up , it's pretty small , but the loan to own that closed in the third quarter , one .

[Analyst] (Raymond James): Then maybe one follow-up. It's pretty small, but the loan to own that closed in Q3. Any details about that small asset? Then maybe a bigger question around that is that instructive or could that be instructive of any way where you might get more assets back that you'd want to own more quickly?

Speaker #11: Any details about that small asset? And then maybe a bigger question around that is, is that instructive, or could that be instructive in any way where you might get more assets back that you would want to own more quickly?

Speaker #3: Dave, are you talking about Q3?

David Sedgwick: Dave, are you talking about Q3?

Dave Sedgwick: Dave, are you talking about Q3?

Speaker #11: Yes

Austin Rogers: Yes.

[Analyst] (Raymond James): Yes.

Speaker #3: Yeah . I mean , that's really a function of I think what you're talking about is the in the UK , sometimes some of the parts of the transactions have to be structured a little differently as kind of a loan to own , to facilitate closing while licensure is being received .

David Sedgwick: Yeah. That's really a function of, I think what you're talking about is in the UK, sometimes some of the parts of the transactions have to be structured a little differently as kind of a loan to own to facilitate closing while licensure is being received. We anticipate that would turn into real estate in the next six to 12 months. For instance, we closed a transaction last fall that was under this loan to own, and just recently they got the licensure and converted into the real estate. That's really what that is. It's just a function to help facilitate closing earlier while you're waiting for licensure.

Dave Sedgwick: Yeah. That's really a function of, I think what you're talking about is in the UK, sometimes some of the parts of the transactions have to be structured a little differently as kind of a loan to own to facilitate closing while licensure is being received. We anticipate that would turn into real estate in the next six to 12 months. For instance, we closed a transaction last fall that was under this loan to own, and just recently they got the licensure and converted into the real estate. That's really what that is. It's just a function to help facilitate closing earlier while you're waiting for licensure.

Speaker #3: So we anticipate that would turn into real estate in the next 6 to 12 months . For instance , we closed a transaction , you know , last fall that was under this loan to own .

Speaker #3: And just recently they got licensure and converted it into the real estate. So that's really what that is. It's just a function to help facilitate closing earlier while you're waiting for licensure.

Speaker #11: Great . Thank you

Austin Rogers: Great. Thank you.

[Analyst] (Raymond James): Great. Thank you.

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from Michael Strojek with Green Street. Please go ahead.

Operator 3: Your next question comes from Michael Stroyer with Green Street. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from Michael Stroyer with Green Street. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: Thanks .

Michael Stroyer: Thanks. Good morning. It sounds like loans are a decent chunk of the pipeline. Can you just talk about the strategic rationale of these particular loans, and if we should expect loans to continue to be a meaningful part of external growth moving forward?

Michael Stroyeck: Thanks. Good morning. It sounds like loans are a decent chunk of the pipeline. Can you just talk about the strategic rationale of these particular loans, and if we should expect loans to continue to be a meaningful part of external growth moving forward?

Speaker #4: Good morning. It sounds like.

Speaker #2: Loans are a decent chunk of the pipeline . Can you just talk about the strategic rationale of these particular loans ? And if we should expect loans to continue to be a meaningful part of external growth , moving forward

Speaker #3: Yeah . I mean , there's always a purpose behind the loans . Michael . Really , it's that , you know , they're either going to be done alongside asset acquisitions or in contemplation of .

David Sedgwick: Yeah. There's always a purpose behind the loans, Michael, really. It's that they're either going to be done alongside asset acquisitions or in contemplation of, so whether it's a purchase option or an agreement that real estate deals will follow. It's really a way for us to unlock the door to future real estate acquisitions with that particular borrower or operator. Those relationships, that cycle has been a very virtuous one for us. It's been very successful for us in the past and been a driver of a lot of the growth that's happened over the last couple of years in a cycle that with the right operators and the right properties that we'll continue to feed. It's never going to become anywhere close to the primary business, but it'll fluctuate quarter to quarter.

Dave Sedgwick: Yeah. There's always a purpose behind the loans, Michael, really. It's that they're either going to be done alongside asset acquisitions or in contemplation of, so whether it's a purchase option or an agreement that real estate deals will follow. It's really a way for us to unlock the door to future real estate acquisitions with that particular borrower or operator. Those relationships, that cycle has been a very virtuous one for us. It's been very successful for us in the past and been a driver of a lot of the growth that's happened over the last couple of years in a cycle that with the right operators and the right properties that we'll continue to feed. It's never going to become anywhere close to the primary business, but it'll fluctuate quarter to quarter.

Speaker #3: So whether it’s a purchase option or an agreement that real estate deals will follow, it’s really a way for us to unlock the door to future real estate acquisitions.

Speaker #3: With that particular borrower or operator . And so those relationships , that cycle has been a very virtuous one for us . It's been very successful for us in the past and been a driver of a lot of the growth that's happened over the last couple of years and a cycle that , with the right operators and the right properties , that will continue to feed , it's never going to become anywhere close to the primary business .

Speaker #3: But it'll be , you know , fluctuate quarter to quarter . But when those opportunities arise and we see real estate in the future , it's a cycle .

David Sedgwick: When those opportunities arise and we see real estate in the future, it's a cycle we'll feed.

Dave Sedgwick: When those opportunities arise and we see real estate in the future, it's a cycle we'll feed.

Speaker #3: We'll feed

Speaker #2: Understood . And maybe one of the most recent shop deal , I guess , where do you ultimately see that mid 6% yield stabilizing at and what's the time frame that you guys are assuming there

Michael Stroyer: Understood. Maybe one on the most recent SHOP deal, I guess where do you ultimately see that mid 6% yield stabilizing at? What's the timeframe that you guys are assuming there?

Michael Stroyeck: Understood. Maybe one on the most recent SHOP deal, I guess where do you ultimately see that mid 6% yield stabilizing at? What's the timeframe that you guys are assuming there?

Speaker #3: Yeah , I mean , I think it's those are two are pretty stable assets . I think that we see a lot of opportunity for there .

David Sedgwick: Those two are pretty stable assets. I think that we see a lot of opportunity for they're well-positioned for rate growth. They're well-positioned for some OpEx savings. One of the facilities has some expansion potential that we're actively looking at.

Dave Sedgwick: Those two are pretty stable assets. I think that we see a lot of opportunity for they're well-positioned for rate growth. They're well-positioned for some OpEx savings. One of the facilities has some expansion potential that we're actively looking at.

Speaker #3: They're well positioned for rate growth. They're also well positioned for some opex savings. One of the facilities has some expansion potential that we're actively, you know, looking at.

Speaker #3: So we definitely see , you know , a low double digit IRR return there . And I think really , you know , we would look at , you know , margin expansion from the low 30s to the high 30s in the next 2 to 3 years

James Callister: We definitely see a low double-digit IRR return there. I think really we would look at margin expansion from the low thirties to the high thirties in the next 2 to 3 years.

Dave Sedgwick: We definitely see a low double-digit IRR return there. I think really we would look at margin expansion from the low thirties to the high thirties in the next 2 to 3 years.

Jyoti Yadav: Yeah. Thank you for taking my question. This is Jyoti on for Vikram. You guys mentioned record coverage. Can you talk about perhaps potential for rent resets over time or at expirations?

Speaker #12: Like, over time or at expirations.

Speaker #5: Yeah . I think in the supplemental , we show the , the maturity of our rents starting , I think in 2031 . So that that's when the conversation kind of begins the lease coverage is so strong .

David Sedgwick: Yeah. I think in the supplemental, we show the maturity of our rents starting, I think, in 2031. That's when the conversation kind of begins. The lease coverage is so strong overall that as we get there in 2031 and beyond, there will certainly be opportunities to reset those rents to more market rates. It's a few years off.

Dave Sedgwick: Yeah. I think in the supplemental, we show the maturity of our rents starting, I think, in 2031. That's when the conversation kind of begins.
