Management Comments

Eric Mendelsohn

“NHI reported a solid start to 2026, with NAREIT FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD exceeding our internal expectations.” “During the quarter, we continued to expand our Senior Housing Operating Portfolio (“SHOP”), with first quarter invested capital of $742.5 million, a 106% increase from the prior year period. While same-store SHOP performance was impacted by near-term operating headwinds, we remain focused on executing our strategy and see solid performance from our recent SHOP additions. We also announced the acquisition of a seven-property portfolio for $106.9 million, which we expect to be accretive and to further support our growth.” “Year-to-date, we have announced $212.4 million of investments and continue to evaluate additional opportunities. Following the pending sale of the NHC portfolio, we expect pro forma leverage to decline below our target range, providing additional financial flexibility. We remain focused on expanding our private-pay senior housing portfolio and believe our positioning supports our longer-term growth objectives,” concluded Mr. Mendelsohn.
