STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “10-Q”) contain “forward-looking” information as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that do not relate to historical or current facts or matters are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include all statements regarding our expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financing plans, business strategy, tenants, the expected amounts and timing of dividends and other distributions, projected expenses and capital expenditures, competitive position, growth opportunities, potential investments, plans and objectives for future operations, and compliance with and changes in governmental regulations. You can identify some of the forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “should,” “may” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

Our actual results may differ materially from those projected or contemplated by our forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, among others, the following:

• our dependence on the operating success of our tenants;

• operational risks with respect to our Senior Housing - Managed communities (as defined below);

• the effect of our tenants declaring bankruptcy or becoming insolvent;

• our ability to find replacement tenants and the impact of unforeseen costs in acquiring new properties;

• the impact of litigation and rising insurance costs on the business of our tenants;

• our ability to implement the previously announced rent repositioning program for certain of our tenants who were legacy tenants of Care Capital Properties, Inc. (“CCP”) on the timing or terms we have previously disclosed;

• our ability to dispose of facilities currently leased to Genesis Healthcare, Inc. (“Genesis”) on the timing or terms we have previously disclosed;

• the possibility that Sabra may not acquire the remaining majority interest in the Enlivant Joint Venture (as defined below);

• risks associated with our investments in joint ventures;

• changes in healthcare regulation and political or economic conditions;

• the impact of required regulatory approvals of transfers of healthcare properties;

• competitive conditions in our industry;

• our concentration in the healthcare property sector, particularly in skilled nursing/transitional care facilities and senior housing communities, which makes our profitability more vulnerable to a downturn in a specific sector than if we were investing in multiple industries;

• the significant amount of and our ability to service our indebtedness;

• covenants in our debt agreements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends, make investments, incur additional indebtedness and refinance indebtedness on favorable terms;

• increases in market interest rates;

• our ability to raise capital through equity and debt financings;

• changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

• the relatively illiquid nature of real estate investments;

• the loss of key management personnel or other employees;

• uninsured or underinsured losses affecting our properties and the possibility of environmental compliance costs and liabilities;

• the impact of a failure or security breach of information technology in our operations;

• our ability to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”);

• changes in tax laws and regulations affecting REITs (including the potential effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act);

• compliance with REIT requirements and certain tax and tax regulatory matters related to our status as a REIT; and

• the ownership limits and anti-takeover defenses in our governing documents and under Maryland law, which may restrict change of control or business combination opportunities.

We urge you to carefully consider these risks and review the additional disclosures we make concerning risks and other factors that may materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements and our future business and operating results, including those made in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (our “2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We caution you that any forward-looking statements made in this

2

10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, events or results, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We do not intend, and we undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking information to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless required by law to do so.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.     BUSINESS

Overview

Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. (“Sabra” or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 10, 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Sun”) and commenced operations on November 15, 2010 following Sabra's separation from Sun. Sabra elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2011. Sabra believes that it has been organized and operated, and it intends to continue to operate, in a manner to qualify as a REIT. Sabra’s primary business consists of acquiring, financing and owning real estate property to be leased to third-party tenants in the healthcare sector. Sabra primarily generates revenues by leasing properties to tenants and operators throughout the United States and Canada. Sabra owns substantially all of its assets and properties and conducts its operations through Sabra Health Care Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which Sabra is the sole general partner and Sabra’s wholly owned subsidiaries are currently the only limited partners, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily comprised of skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, senior housing communities and specialty hospitals and other facilities, in each case leased to third-party operators; senior housing communities operated by third-party property managers pursuant to property management agreements (“Senior Housing - Managed”); investments in loans receivable; preferred equity investments; and an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

On May 7, 2017, the Company, the Operating Partnership, PR Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Care Capital Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCP”), and Care Capital Properties, L.P. (“CCPLP”), a Delaware limited partnership and wholly owned subsidiary of CCP, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, on August 17, 2017, CCP merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “CCP Merger”), following which Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Subsequent Merger”), and, simultaneous with the Subsequent Merger, CCPLP merged with and into the Operating Partnership, with the Operating Partnership continuing as the surviving entity.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the effective time of the CCP Merger, each share of CCP common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CCP Merger (other than shares of CCP common stock owned directly by CCP, the Company or their respective subsidiaries, in each case not held on behalf of third parties) was converted into the right to receive 1.123 newly issued shares of Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. See Note 3, “CCP Merger and Recent Real Estate Acquisitions” for additional information regarding the CCP Merger.

The acquisition of CCP has been reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements since the effective date of the CCP Merger.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sabra and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the

9

year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC.

GAAP requires the Company to identify entities for which control is achieved through voting rights or other means and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. If the Company were determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company would consolidate investments in the VIE. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE due to events such as modifications of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposal of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary.

The Company identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company determined it was the primary beneficiary of two variable interest entities—one exchange accommodation titleholder variable interest entity and a joint venture variable interest entity owning one skilled nursing/transitional care facility—and has consolidated the operations of these entities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2018, the Company determined that operations of these entities were not material to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

As it relates to investments in loans, in addition to the Company’s assessment of VIEs and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of those VIEs, the Company evaluates the loan terms and other pertinent facts to determine whether the loan investment should be accounted for as a loan or as a real estate joint venture. If an investment has the characteristics of a real estate joint venture, including if the Company participates in the majority of the borrower’s expected residual profit, the Company would account for the investment as an investment in a real estate joint venture and not as a loan investment. Expected residual profit is defined as the amount of profit, whether called interest or another name, such as an equity kicker, above a reasonable amount of interest and fees expected to be earned by a lender. At June 30, 2018, none of the Company’s investments in loans are accounted for as real estate joint ventures.

As it relates to investments in joint ventures, the Company assesses any limited partners’ rights and their impact on the presumption of control of the limited partnership by any single partner. The Company also applies this guidance to managing member interests in limited liability companies. The Company reassesses its determination of which entity controls the joint venture if: there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of any partners or members, the sole general partner or managing member increases or decreases its ownership interests, or there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding ownership interests. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s determination of which entity controls its investments in joint ventures has not changed as a result of any reassessment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods. As a result, certain reclassifications were made to the condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

The Company reports investments in unconsolidated entities over whose operating and financial policies it has the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. The initial carrying value of the investment is based on the amount paid to purchase the joint venture interest. Differences between the Company’s cost basis and the basis reflected at the joint venture level are generally amortized over the lives of the related assets and liabilities, and such amortization is included in the Company’s share of earnings of the joint venture.

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its equity method investments may not be recoverable or realized. When indicators of potential impairment are identified, the Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment based on a comparison of the fair value of the investment to its carrying value. The fair value is estimated based on discounted cash flows that include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period and any estimated debt premiums or discounts. If, based on this analysis, the Company does not believe that it will be able to recover the carrying value of its equity method investment, the Company would record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of its equity method investment.

On January 2, 2018, the Company completed its transaction with affiliates of Enlivant and TPG Real Estate, the real estate platform of TPG, and contributed $352.7 million, before closing costs, to acquire a 49% equity interest in an entity that owns 172 senior housing communities managed by Enlivant (the “Enlivant Joint Venture”). At closing, the Enlivant Joint Venture had outstanding indebtedness of $791.3 million and net working capital of $22.9 million, and the Company’s investment in the Enlivant Joint Venture implied an aggregate portfolio value of $1.49 billion. The joint venture agreement includes an option for the Company to acquire the remainder of the outstanding equity interests in the Enlivant Joint Venture by January 2, 2021 and grants the Company the right of first offer if the Company’s partner in the Enlivant Joint Venture desires to transfer its equity interest (which it may do commencing on January 2, 2020). In addition, Sabra has the right to designate three directors on the seven member board of directors of the Enlivant Joint Venture and has other customary minority rights. As of June 30, 2018, the book value of the Company’s investment in the Enlivant Joint Venture was $349.0 million.

Net Investment in Direct Financing Lease

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had a $23.2 million net investment in one skilled nursing/transitional care facility leased to an operator under a direct financing lease, as the tenant is obligated to purchase the property at the end of the lease term. The net investment in direct financing lease is recorded in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and represents the total undiscounted rental payments, plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value, less the unearned lease income. Unearned lease income represents the excess of the minimum lease payments and residual value over the cost of the investment. Unearned lease income is deferred and amortized to income over the lease term to provide a constant yield when collectability of the lease payments is reasonably assured. Income from the Company’s net investment in direct financing lease was $0.6 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and is reflected in interest and other income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. Future minimum lease payments contractually due under the direct financing lease at June 30, 2018, were as follows: $1.1 million for the remainder of 2018; $2.2 million for 2019; $2.3 million for 2020; and $2.1 million for 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

Adopted

Between May 2014 and February 2017, the FASB issued four Accounting Standards Updates (each, an “ASU”) changing the requirements for recognizing and reporting revenue (together, herein referred to as the “Revenue ASUs”): (i) ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), (ii) ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”), (iii) ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”) and (iv) ASU No. 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2016-08 is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU 2016-12 provides practical expedients and improvements on the previously narrow scope of ASU 2014-09. The Revenue ASUs became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 with the Company electing to use the modified retrospective approach for its adoption. Further, the Company elected to reassess only contracts that were not completed as of the adoption date. The adoption of these ASUs did not have a material impact to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.

11

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides specific guidance clarifying how certain cash receipts and payments should be classified. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018. The full retrospective approach of adoption is required for both ASUs and, accordingly, certain line items in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The following table illustrates changes in the Company’s cash flows as reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and as previously reported prior to the adoption (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2017
	As Reported		As Previously Reported
Net cash provided by operating activities	54,282		53,871
Net decrease in balance	(12,147	)	(12,558	)
Balance - beginning of the year	34,665		25,663
Balance - end of the year	22,648		13,235

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 is intended to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 effective beginning January 1, 2018. ASU 2017-12 requires a modified retrospective transition method in which the Company recognized the cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the date of adoption, which resulted in a decrease to cumulative distributions in excess of net income and an increase to accumulated other comprehensive income of $0.8 million.

Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 supersedes guidance related to accounting for leases. ASU 2016-02 updates guidance around the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The objective of ASU 2016-02 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. ASU 2016-02 does not fundamentally change lessor accounting; however, some changes have been made to lessor accounting to conform and align that guidance with the lessee guidance and other areas within GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Under ASU 2016-02, entities currently are required to adopt the new lease requirements using a modified retrospective transition method whereby an entity initially applies the new lease requirements (subject to specific transition requirements and optional practical expedients) at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company will recognize its operating leases for which it is the lessee, mainly corporate office leases and ground leases, on its consolidated balance sheets. Further, as a result of adoption, the Company may be required to increase its revenue and expense for the amount of real estate taxes and insurance paid by its tenants under certain leasing arrangements with no net impact to net income.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”) that allows lessors to elect, as a practical expedient, not to separate lease and nonlease components (such as services rendered) in a contract for the purpose of revenue recognition and disclosure. The practical expedient can only be applied to leasing arrangements for which (i) the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the lease and nonlease components and (ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Under this practical expedient, contracts that are predominantly lease-based would be accounted for under Topic 842, and contracts that are predominantly service-based would be accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Further, ASU 2018-11 also provides for an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new lease requirements by allowing entities to initially apply the requirements by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company plans to elect this practical expedient and apply the optional transition method for its operating leases for which the Company is the lessee, using the cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. The Company is still evaluating the full impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 to its consolidated financial statements.

12

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires that a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 are an improvement because they eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. Previously, when credit losses were measured under GAAP, an entity generally only considered past events and current conditions in measuring the incurred loss. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. An entity will apply the amendments in this update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements when adopted.

3.     CCP MERGER AND RECENT REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS

CCP Merger

On August 17, 2017, the Company completed the CCP Merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of CCP common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CCP Merger (other than any shares owned directly by CCP, the Company or their respective subsidiaries, in each case not held on behalf of third parties) was converted into the right to receive 1.123 newly issued shares of Company common stock, resulting in the issuance of approximately 94.0 million shares of Company common stock at the effective time of the CCP Merger. As a result of the CCP Merger, the Company acquired 330 properties (consisting of 296 skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, 13 senior housing communities and 21 specialty hospitals and other facilities), one skilled nursing/transitional care facility leased to an operator under a direct financing lease (see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Net Investment in Direct Financing Lease”), 18 investments in loans receivable (see Note 6, “Loans Receivable and Other Investments”) and one specialty valuation firm that was subsequently sold in March 2018. Sabra also assumed certain outstanding equity awards and other debt and liabilities of CCP (see Note 7, “Debt”). Based on the closing price of Sabra’s common stock on August 16, 2017, the Company estimates the fair value of the consideration exchanged or assumed to be approximately $2.1 billion.

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation for the CCP Merger based on the Company’s valuation, including estimates and assumptions of the acquisition date fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on August 17, 2017 (in thousands):

Real estate investments	$	3,727,310
Loans receivable and other investments	58,244
Cash and cash equivalents	77,859
Restricted cash	779
Lease intangible assets, net	145,786
Accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, net	35,873
Secured debt, net	(98,500		)
Revolving credit facility	(362,000		)
Unsecured term loans	(674,000		)
Senior unsecured notes, net	(616,873		)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(134,802		)
Lease intangible liabilities, net	(102,643		)
Noncontrolling interests	(4,455		)
Total consideration	$	2,052,578

The lease intangible assets and lease intangible liabilities acquired in connection with the CCP Merger have weighted-average amortization periods as of the closing date of the CCP Merger of 10 years.

Recent Real Estate Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company acquired 11 Senior Housing - Managed communities, five senior housing communities and two skilled nursing/transitional care facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company acquired one senior housing community. The consideration was allocated based on certain valuations and analyses. Certain valuations and analyses related to acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2018 have yet to be finalized, and accordingly, the allocations are subject to adjustment once the analyses are completed. Allocation of the consideration is as follows (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017
Land	$	24,356	$	1,034
Building and improvements	187,903		13,128
Tenant origination and absorption costs intangible assets	1,312		223
Tenant relationship intangible assets	412		71
Total consideration	$	213,983	$	14,456

The tenant origination and absorption costs intangible assets and tenant relationship intangible assets acquired in connection with these acquisitions have weighted-average amortization periods as of the respective dates of acquisition of 13 years and 22 years, respectively, for acquisitions completed during the six months ended June 30, 2018, and 15 years and 25 years, respectively, for the acquisition completed during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized $10.7 million and $20.4 million of total revenues, respectively, and $1.6 million and $2.5 million of net income attributable to common stockholders, respectively, from the facilities acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2018. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized $0.1 million of total revenues and net income attributable to common stockholders from the facility acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Operating Leases

As of June 30, 2018, the substantial majority of the Company’s real estate properties (excluding 24 Senior Housing - Managed communities) were leased under triple-net operating leases with expirations ranging from less than one year to 15 years. As of June 30, 2018, the leases had a weighted-average remaining term of nine years. The leases include provisions to extend the lease terms and other negotiated terms and conditions. The Company, through its subsidiaries, retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to the tenants. The Company may receive additional security under these operating leases in the form of letters of credit and security deposits from the lessee or guarantees from the parent of the lessee. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $17.9 million and $20.3 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and letters of credit deposited with the Company totaled approximately $90 million and $96 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. In addition, our tenants have deposited with the Company $28.0 million and $28.3 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, for future real estate taxes, insurance expenditures and tenant improvements related to our properties and their operations.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had a $1.1 million reserve for unpaid cash rental income and a $3.2 million reserve associated with accumulated straight-line rental income. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had a $3.2 million reserve for unpaid cash rental income and a $12.4 million reserve associated with accumulated straight-line rental income.

The Company has entered into memoranda of understanding with Genesis to market for sale up to all of its remaining Genesis facilities and to restructure its lease agreements with Genesis to increase the marketability of these facilities to potential buyers. Effective January 1, 2018, the annual base rent payable under the Genesis leases was reduced by $19.0 million pursuant to a lease restructuring agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company completed the sale of 27 facilities leased to Genesis and expects to complete the sale of 19 of its remaining 27 Genesis facilities during the remainder of 2018 and to retain eight facilities, although it cannot provide assurance that the sales will be completed in that timeframe, if at all.

The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its tenants by reviewing credit ratings (if available) and evaluating the ability of the tenants to meet their lease obligations to the Company based on the tenants’ financial performance, including the evaluation of any parent guarantees (or the guarantees of other related parties) of tenant lease obligations. As formal credit ratings may not be available for most of the Company’s tenants, the primary basis for the Company’s evaluation of the credit quality of its tenants (and more specifically the tenant’s ability to pay their rent obligations to the Company) is the tenant’s lease coverage ratio or the parent’s fixed charge coverage ratio for those entities with a parent guarantee. These coverage ratios include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”) to rent and earnings before interest,

15

taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent and management fees (“EBITDARM”) to rent at the lease level and consolidated EBITDAR to total fixed charges at the parent guarantor level when such a guarantee exists. The Company obtains various financial and operational information from its tenants each month and reviews this information in conjunction with the above-described coverage metrics to identify financial and operational trends, evaluate the impact of the industry’s operational and financial environment (including the impact of government reimbursement), and evaluate the management of the tenant’s operations. These metrics help the Company identify potential areas of concern relative to its tenants’ credit quality and ultimately the tenant’s ability to generate sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, including its obligation to continue to pay the rent due to the Company.

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, no tenant relationship represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues.

As of June 30, 2018, the future minimum rental payments from the Company’s properties held for investment under non-cancelable operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

July 1 through December 31, 2018	$	260,307
2019	529,844
2020	522,304
2021	520,553
2022	512,680
Thereafter	3,083,776
	$	5,429,464

5.    ASSET HELD FOR SALE AND DISPOSITIONS

Asset Held for Sale

As of June 30, 2018, the Company determined that one skilled nursing/transitional care facility, with a net book value of $6.0 million, met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The net book value is included in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The facility was sold on July 2, 2018 for a gross sales price of $7.0 million.

2018 Dispositions

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company completed the sale of 33 skilled nursing/transitional care facilities and four senior housing communities for aggregate consideration, net of closing costs, of $278.3 million. The net carrying value of the assets and liabilities of these facilities was $135.8 million, which resulted in an aggregate $142.5 million net gain on sale. The Company also recognized $0.1 million of additional selling expenses for sales completed in 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized a $1.4 million real estate impairment, of which $0.5 million related to one senior housing community sold during the period.

Excluding the net gain on sale and real estate impairment, the Company recognized $11.6 million and $15.4 million of net income during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, from these facilities. The sale of these facilities does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, and therefore the results of operations attributable to these facilities have remained in continuing operations.

2017 Disposition

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company completed the sale of one skilled nursing/transitional care facility for consideration, net of closing costs, of $6.1 million. The net carrying value of the assets and liabilities of this facility was $2.1 million, which resulted in a $4.0 million net gain on sale.

Excluding the net gain on sale, the Company recognized $0.1 million of net income during the six months ended June 30, 2017 from this facility. The sale of this facility does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, and therefore the results of operations attributable to this facility have remained in continuing operations.

The 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes were issued by the Operating Partnership and Sabra Capital Corporation, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Issuers”). The 2021 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.5% per annum payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, and the 2023 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.375% per annum payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

Interest is payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year for the 2026 Notes and on May 17 and November 17 of each year for the 2027 Notes.

The obligations under the 2021 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2027 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by Sabra and certain subsidiaries of Sabra; provided, however, that such guarantees are subject to release under certain customary circumstances. The obligations under the 2026 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, by Sabra; provided, however, that such guarantee is subject to release under certain customary circumstances. See Note 12, “Summarized Condensed Consolidating Information” for additional information

18

concerning the circumstances pursuant to which the guarantors will be automatically and unconditionally released from their obligations under the guarantees.

The indentures and agreements (the “Senior Notes Indentures”) governing the 2021 Notes, 2023 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) include customary events of default and require the Company to comply with specified restrictive covenants. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Senior Notes Indentures.

Credit Facility

Effective on August 17, 2017, the Operating Partnership and Sabra Canadian Holdings, LLC (together, the “Borrowers”), Sabra and the other parties thereto entered into a fourth amended and restated unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility amends and restates the prior credit facility entered into by the Borrowers in January 2016 (the “Prior Credit Facility”). The Company recognized a $0.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with amending and restating the Prior Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility includes a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), $1.1 billion in U.S. dollar term loans and a CAD $125.0 million Canadian dollar term loan (collectively, the “Term Loans”). Further, up to $175.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for borrowings in certain foreign currencies. The Credit Facility also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $2.5 billion, subject to terms and conditions.

The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of August 17, 2021, and includes twosix-month extension options. $200.0 million of the U.S. dollar Term Loans has a maturity date of August 17, 2020, and the other Term Loans have a maturity date of August 17, 2022.

As of June 30, 2018, there was $676.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $324.0 million available for borrowing.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable interest margin plus, at the Operating Partnership’s option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”). On August 17, 2017, Sabra’s ratings met the Investment Grade Ratings Criteria (as defined in the credit agreement), and Sabra elected to use the ratings-based applicable interest margin for borrowings which will vary based on the Debt Ratings, as defined in the credit agreement, and will range from 0.875% to 1.65% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 0.00% to 0.65% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. As of June 30, 2018, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.34%. In addition, the Operating Partnership pays a facility fee ranging between 0.125% and 0.300% per annum based on the aggregate amount of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility regardless of amounts outstanding thereunder.

The U.S. dollar Term Loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable interest margin plus, at the Operating Partnership’s option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) the Base Rate. The ratings-based applicable interest margin for borrowings will vary based on the Debt Ratings, as defined in the credit agreement, and will range from 0.90% to 1.90% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 0.00% to 0.90% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. The Canadian dollar Term Loan bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) plus an interest margin that will range from 0.90% to 1.90% depending on the Debt Ratings.

On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the CDOR portion of the interest rate for CAD $90.0 million of its Canadian dollar Term Loan at 1.59%. In addition, CAD $90.0 million of the Canadian dollar Term Loan was designated as a net investment hedge. On August 10, 2016, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate for $245.0 million of its U.S. dollar Term Loans at 0.90% and one interest rate swap agreement to fix the CDOR portion on CAD $35.0 million of its Canadian dollar Term Loan at 0.93%. See Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments” for further information.

As a result of the CCP Merger (see Note 3, “CCP Merger and Recent Real Estate Acquisitions”), the Company assumed eight interest rate swap agreements that fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate for $600 million of the Company’s U.S. dollar Term Loans at a weighted average rate of 1.31%. See Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments” for further information.

The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by Sabra and certain subsidiaries of Sabra.

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants that include restrictions or limitations on the ability to make acquisitions and other investments, pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, engage in non-healthcare related business activities, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or otherwise transfer certain assets as well as customary events of default. The Credit Facility also requires Sabra, through the Operating Partnership, to comply with specified financial

19

covenants, which include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

Interest Expense

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred interest expense of $36.8 million and $72.6 million, respectively, and $15.9 million and $31.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Interest expense includes non-cash interest expense of $2.5 million and $5.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $1.7 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $24.5 million and $24.7 million, respectively, of accrued interest included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

8.    DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

Certain of the Company’s foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value in the Company’s functional currency, the U.S. dollar, of the Company’s investment in foreign operations, the cash receipts and payments related to these foreign operations and payments of interest and principal under Canadian dollar denominated debt. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value of its foreign investments and fix a portion of the interest payments for certain debt obligations. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Approximately $6.6 million of gains, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, as of June 30, 2018, are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months.

20

Net Investment Hedges

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in Canada. The Company uses cross currency interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on these foreign investments.

The gain (loss) in the table above related to interest rate products, was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense. Interest expense totaled $36.8 million and $72.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $15.9 million and $31.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, no cash flow hedges were determined to be ineffective. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company determined that a portion of a cash flow hedge was ineffective and recognized $14,000 and $0.1 million, respectively, of unrealized losses related to its interest rate swaps to other income in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Offsetting Derivatives

The Company enters into master netting arrangements, which reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision pursuant to which the Company could be declared in default on the derivative obligation if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had no derivatives with a fair value in a net liability position.

9.    FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Financial Instruments

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments.

Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and whose markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments whose markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the Credit Facility are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fair values for other financial instruments are derived as follows:

Loans receivable: These instruments are presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost and not at fair value. The fair values of the loans receivable were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected cash flows for the loans receivable, as well as the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements as applicable. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 3.

Preferred equity investments: These instruments are presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their cost and not at fair value. The fair values of the preferred equity investments were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected future cash flows for the preferred equity investment, the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 3.

Derivative instruments: The Company’s derivative instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the fair value of derivative instruments, including its interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps, using the assistance of a third party using inputs that are observable in the market, which include forward yield curves and other relevant information. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative financial instruments fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative financial instruments utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative financial instruments valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Senior Notes: These instruments are presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their outstanding principal balance, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and premiums/discounts and not at fair value. The fair values of the Senior Notes were determined using third-party market quotes derived from orderly trades. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 2.

Secured indebtedness: These instruments are presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their outstanding principal balance, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and premiums/discounts and not at fair value. The fair values of the Company’s secured debt were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 3.

The following are the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value (in thousands):

	June 30, 2018						December 31, 2017
	Face Value (1)		Carrying Amount (2)		Fair Value		Face Value (1)		Carrying Amount (2)		Fair Value

Preferred equity investments	50,856		51,348		50,787		48,035		48,483		47,064
Financial liabilities:

Secured indebtedness	256,281		253,567		236,862		259,202		256,430		246,461

⁽¹⁾  Face value represents amounts contractually due under the terms of the respective agreements.

⁽²⁾  Carrying amount represents the book value of financial instruments, including unamortized premiums/discounts and deferred financing costs.

The Company determined the fair value of financial instruments as of June 30, 2018 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value with valuation methods utilizing the following types of inputs (in thousands):

			Fair Value Measurements Using
			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
	Total
Financial assets:
Loans receivable	$	58,656	$	—	$	—	$	58,656
Preferred equity investments	50,787		—		—		50,787
Financial liabilities:
Senior Notes	1,292,347		—		1,292,347		—
Secured indebtedness	236,862		—		—		236,862

Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company at the applicable dates and requires a significant amount of judgment. Despite increased capital market and credit market activity, transaction volume for certain financial instruments remains relatively low. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of fair value at a future date could be materially different.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded the following amounts measured at fair value (in thousands):

10.    EQUITY

Preferred Stock

On March 21, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 5,750,000 shares of 7.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at a price of $25.00 per share, pursuant to an effective registration statement. The Company received net proceeds of $138.3 million from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. The Company classified the par value as preferred equity on its condensed consolidated balance sheets with the balance of the liquidation preference, net of any issuance costs, recorded as an increase in paid-in capital.

The Company redeemed all 5,750,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock on June 1, 2018 (the “Redemption Date”) for $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the Redemption Date, without interest, in the amount of $0.4453125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, for a total redemption price per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to $25.4453125. As a result of the redemption, the Company incurred a charge of $5.5 million related to the original issuance costs of the Series A Preferred Stock. The charge is presented as an additional preferred stock dividend in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.

Common Stock

As a result of the CCP Merger completed on August 17, 2017, the Company issued approximately 94.0 million shares of its common stock in exchange for shares of CCP common stock and shares underlying share-based awards assumed by the Company outstanding as of the effective time of the CCP Merger.

On September 28, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 16.0 million newly issued shares of its common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement. The underwriters exercised their option to purchase additional shares, and on October 2, 2017, the Company issued an additional 2.4 million newly issued shares of its common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement. The Company received net proceeds, before expenses, of $370.9 million from the offering, after giving effect to the issuance and sale of all 18.4 million shares of common stock, at a price of $21.00 per share. These proceeds were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The following table lists the cash dividends on common stock declared and paid by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2018:

Declaration Date	Record Date	Amount Per Share		Dividend Payable Date
February 5, 2018	February 15, 2018	$	0.45	February 28, 2018
May 9, 2018	May 21, 2018	$	0.45	May 31, 2018

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued 27,747 shares of common stock as a result of restricted stock unit vestings.

Upon any payment of shares as a result of restricted stock unit vestings, the related tax withholding obligation will generally be satisfied by the Company, reducing the number of shares to be delivered by a number of shares necessary to satisfy the related applicable tax withholding obligation. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in tax withholding obligations on behalf of its employees that were satisfied through a reduction in the number of shares delivered to those participants.

12.    SUMMARIZED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION

In connection with the offerings of the 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes by the Issuers, the Company and certain 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes, subject to release under certain customary circumstances as described below. In connection with the assumption of the 2026 Notes as a result of the CCP Merger (see Note 3, “CCP Merger and Recent Real Estate Acquisitions”), the Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 2026 Notes, subject to release under certain circumstances as described below. These guarantees are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt and senior guarantees of the Guarantors and are unsecured. The Company conducts all of its business through and derives virtually all of its income from its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company’s ability to make required payments with respect to its indebtedness (including the Senior Notes) and other obligations depends on the financial results and condition of its subsidiaries and its ability to receive funds from its subsidiaries.

A Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the guarantees with respect to the 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes in the event of:

• Any sale of the subsidiary Guarantor or of all or substantially all of its assets;

• A merger or consolidation of a subsidiary Guarantor with an issuer of the 2021 Notes or the 2023 Notes or another Guarantor, provided that the surviving entity remains a Guarantor;

• A subsidiary Guarantor is declared “unrestricted” for covenant purposes under the indentures governing the 2021 Notes or the 2023 Notes;

• The requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the indentures governing the 2021 Notes or the 2023 Notes have been satisfied;

• A liquidation or dissolution, to the extent permitted under the indentures governing the 2021 Notes or the 2023 Notes, of a subsidiary Guarantor; or

• The release or discharge of the guaranty that resulted in the creation of the subsidiary guaranty, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guaranty.

26

The Company will be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the guarantees with respect to the 2026 Notes in the event of:

• A liquidation or dissolution, to the extent permitted under the indenture governing the 2026 Notes;

• A merger or consolidation, provided that the surviving entity remains a Guarantor; or

• The requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the indenture governing the 2026 Notes have been satisfied.

Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the following summarized condensed consolidating information is provided for the Company (the “Parent Company”), the Operating Partnership, Sabra Capital Corporation, the Guarantors, and the Company’s non-Guarantor subsidiaries with respect to the 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes. This summarized financial information has been prepared from the books and records maintained by the Company, the Operating Partnership, Sabra Capital Corporation, the Guarantors and the non-Guarantor subsidiaries. The summarized financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the Operating Partnership, Sabra Capital Corporation, the Guarantors or non-Guarantor subsidiaries operated as independent entities. Sabra’s investments in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented based upon Sabra’s proportionate share of each subsidiary’s net assets. The Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in the non-Guarantor subsidiaries and non-Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in Guarantor subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. Intercompany activities between subsidiaries and the Parent Company are presented within operating activities on the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows.

Condensed consolidating financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Parent Company only, the Operating Partnership only, Sabra Capital Corporation only, the combined Guarantor subsidiaries and the combined non-Guarantor subsidiaries, are as follows:

13.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities. As of June 30, 2018, the Company does not expect that compliance with existing environmental laws will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings where the likelihood of a loss contingency is reasonably possible and the amount or range of reasonably possible losses is material to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

14.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Dividend Declaration

On August 8, 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on August 31, 2018 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 18, 2018.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those which are discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Also see “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is organized as follows:

• Overview

• Critical Accounting Policies

• Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

• Results of Operations

• Liquidity and Capital Resources

• Concentration of Credit Risk

• Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates

• Obligations and Commitments

• Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Overview

We operate as a self-administered, self-managed REIT that, through our subsidiaries, owns and invests in real estate serving the healthcare industry.

Our primary business consists of acquiring, financing and owning real estate property to be leased to third party tenants in the healthcare sector using triple-net operating leases. We primarily generate revenues by leasing properties to tenants and owning properties operated by third-party property managers throughout the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada.

Our investment portfolio is primarily comprised of skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, senior housing communities and specialty hospitals and other facilities, in each case leased to third-party operators; senior housing communities operated by third-party property managers pursuant to property management agreements (“Senior Housing - Managed”); investments in loans receivable; preferred equity investments and an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

In 2017 and the first half of 2018, we completed a series of transactions—including the CCP Merger (as defined below), sales of facilities leased to Genesis, investment in the Enlivant Joint Venture (as defined below) and entry into our new Credit Facility (as defined below), each of which are discussed below—that have significantly enhanced our scale and increased our diversification. Following these transactions, we expect to continue to grow our investment portfolio while diversifying our portfolio by tenant, facility type and geography within the healthcare sector. We plan to achieve these objectives primarily through making investments directly or indirectly in healthcare real estate, including the development of purpose built healthcare facilities with select developers. We also intend to achieve our objective of diversifying our portfolio by tenant and facility type through select asset sales and other arrangements with Genesis and other tenants. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we completed the sale of 37 facilities, including 27 facilities leased to Genesis, and expect to complete the sales of 19 of our remaining 27 Genesis facilities during the remainder of 2018 and to retain eight facilities, although we cannot provide assurance that the sales will be completed in that timeframe, if at all.

We expect to continue to grow our portfolio primarily through the acquisition of assisted living, independent living and memory care communities in the U.S. and Canada and through the acquisition of skilled nursing/transitional care and behavioral health facilities in the U.S. We have and expect to continue to opportunistically acquire other types of healthcare real estate, originate financing secured directly or indirectly by healthcare facilities and invest in the development of senior housing communities and skilled nursing/transitional care facilities. We also expect to expand our portfolio through the development of purpose-built healthcare facilities through pipeline agreements and other arrangements with select developers. We further expect to work with existing operators to identify strategic development opportunities. These opportunities may involve replacing, renovating or expanding facilities in our portfolio that may have become less competitive and new development opportunities that present attractive risk-adjusted returns. In addition to pursuing acquisitions with triple-net leases, we expect to continue to pursue other forms of investment, including investments in Senior Housing - Managed communities, mezzanine and secured debt investments, and joint ventures for senior housing communities and skilled nursing/transitional care facilities.

41

We also expect to continue to enhance the strength of our investment portfolio by selectively disposing of underperforming facilities or working with new or existing operators to transfer underperforming but promising properties to new operators.

With respect to our debt and preferred equity investments, in general, we originate loans and make preferred equity investments when an attractive investment opportunity is presented and (a) the property is in or near the development phase, (b) the development of the property is completed but the operations of the facility are not yet stabilized or (c) the loan investment will provide capital to existing relationships. A key component of our development strategy related to loan originations and preferred equity investments is having the option to purchase the underlying real estate that is owned by our borrowers (and that directly or indirectly secures our loan investments) or by the entity in which we have an investment. These options become exercisable upon the occurrence of various criteria, such as the passage of time or the achievement of certain operating goals, and the method to determine the purchase price upon exercise of the option is set in advance based on the same valuation methods we use to value our investments in healthcare real estate. This proprietary development pipeline strategy allows us to diversify our revenue streams and build relationships with operators and developers, and provides us with the option to add new properties to our existing real estate portfolio if we determine that those properties enhance our investment portfolio and stockholder value at the time the options are exercisable.

We employ a disciplined, opportunistic approach in our healthcare real estate investment strategy by investing in assets that provide attractive opportunities for dividend growth and appreciation of asset values, while maintaining balance sheet strength and liquidity, thereby creating long-term stockholder value.

We elected to be treated as a REIT with the filing of our U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2011. We believe that we have been organized and have operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in a manner to qualify as a REIT. We operate through an umbrella partnership, commonly referred to as an UPREIT structure, in which substantially all of our properties and assets are held by Sabra Health Care Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner and our wholly owned subsidiaries are currently the only limited partners, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

Care Capital Properties, Inc. Merger

On May 7, 2017, Sabra, the Operating Partnership, PR Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Sabra (“Merger Sub”), Care Capital Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCP”), and Care Capital Properties, L.P. (“CCPLP”), a Delaware limited partnership and wholly owned subsidiary of CCP, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, on August 17, 2017, CCP merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “CCP Merger”), following which Merger Sub merged with and into Sabra, with Sabra continuing as the surviving entity (the “Subsequent Merger”), and, simultaneous with the Subsequent Merger, CCPLP merged with and into the Operating Partnership, with the Operating Partnership continuing as the surviving entity.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the effective time of the CCP Merger, each share of CCP common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CCP Merger (other than shares of CCP common stock owned directly by CCP, Sabra or their respective subsidiaries, in each case not held on behalf of third parties) was converted into the right to receive 1.123 newly issued shares of Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares.

The acquisition of CCP has been reflected in our consolidated financial statements since the effective date of the CCP

Merger.

On September 7, 2017, Sabra announced its strategy to reposition the CCP portfolio, which includes a combination of lease modifications (including between $28.2 million and $31.2 million of reduction in rents), working capital advances, transitioning facilities to other Sabra tenants and strategic sales or closures of underperforming facilities.

As a result of the CCP Merger, we have increased our tenant diversification by operator and geography, including decreasing concentration from our top five relationships. In addition, shortly following the closing of the CCP Merger, we received investment grade ratings from Standard & Poor’s and Fitch and a two notch upgrade from Moody’s, which provided an immediate improvement in our cost of debt under our Credit Facility.

See Note 3, “CCP Merger and Recent Real Estate Acquisitions” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the CCP Merger.

42

Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we acquired 11 Senior Housing - Managed communities managed by Enlivant, five senior housing communities and two skilled nursing/transitional care facilities for an aggregate $214.0 million. See Note 3, “CCP Merger and Recent Real Estate Acquisitions” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these acquisitions.

Dispositions

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we completed the sale of 33 skilled nursing/transitional care facilities and four senior housing communities for aggregate consideration, net of closing costs, of $278.3 million. The net carrying value of the assets and liabilities of these facilities was $135.8 million, which resulted in an aggregate $142.5 million net gain on sale.

Enlivant Joint Venture

In addition to the acquisition of 11 Senior Housing - Managed communities managed by Enlivant, on January 2, 2018, we completed our transaction with affiliates of Enlivant and TPG Real Estate, the real estate platform of TPG, and contributed $352.7 million, before closing costs, to acquire a 49% equity interest in an entity that owns 172 senior housing communities managed by Enlivant (the “Enlivant Joint Venture”). At closing, the Enlivant Joint Venture had outstanding indebtedness of $791.3 million and net working capital of $22.9 million, and our investment in the Enlivant Joint Venture implied an aggregate portfolio value of $1.49 billion. We financed this investment with proceeds from our Revolving Credit Facility. The joint venture agreement includes an option for us to acquire the remainder of the outstanding equity interests in the Enlivant Joint Venture by January 2, 2021 and grants us the right of first offer if our partner in the Enlivant Joint Venture desires to transfer its equity interest (which it may do commencing on January 2, 2020). In addition, Sabra has the right to designate three directors on the seven member board of directors of the Enlivant Joint Venture and has other customary minority rights.

Preferred Stock Redemption

On June 1, 2018 (the “Redemption Date”), we redeemed all 5,750,000 outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock were redeemed at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the Redemption Date, without interest, in the amount of $0.4453125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, for a total redemption price per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to $25.4453125.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results is included in Part II, Item 7 of our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information concerning recently issued accounting standards updates.

Results of Operations

As of June 30, 2018, our investment portfolio included 487 real estate properties held for investment, one asset held for sale, one investment in a direct financing lease, 22 investments in loans receivable, 13 preferred equity investments and one investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. As of June 30, 2017, our investment portfolio included 183 real estate properties held for investment, eight investments in loans receivable and 12 preferred equity investments. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods in comparison to the corresponding prior periods as a result of owning acquired investments for an entire period, the anticipated future acquisition of additional investments and

43

completion of the CCP Merger. The results of operations presented are not directly comparable due to ongoing acquisition activity.

⁽¹⁾  Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of the CCP Merger and investments/dispositions made after April 1, 2017.

⁽²⁾  Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017 that is not a direct result of the CCP Merger and investments/dispositions made after April 1, 2017.

Rental Income

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $144.2 million of rental income compared to $55.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The $88.3 million increase in rental income is primarily due to an increase of $86.4 million from properties acquired in the CCP Merger and an increase of $11.2 million from other properties acquired after April 1, 2017, partially offset by a decrease of $3.9 million from properties disposed of after April 1, 2017, a $4.8 million decrease due to the Genesis lease restructuring agreement which reduced the annual base rent payable under the Genesis leases by $19.0 million and a $1.5 million decrease due to five skilled nursing/transitional care facilities transitioned to a new operator. Amounts due under the terms of all of our lease agreements are subject to contractual increases, and contingent rental income may be derived from certain lease agreements. No material contingent rental income was derived during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income primarily consists of income earned on our loans receivable investments, preferred returns earned on our preferred equity investments and income on the direct financing lease. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $4.6 million of interest and other income compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase of $2.5 million is primarily due to an increase of $2.5 million primarily related to interest income from loans receivable investments and income from a direct financing lease, partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease from investments that were disposed after April 1, 2017. Included in interest income is $0.9 million from a legacy CCP loan receivable that was fully repaid in June 2018, which represents the difference between the outstanding principal balance repaid and its discounted book value.

44

Resident Fees and Services

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $17.5 million of resident fees and services compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The $10.7 million increase is primarily due to a $10.1 million increase related to 13 properties acquired after April 1, 2017 and a $0.2 million increase due to one senior housing community that was transitioned to Senior Housing - Managed communities in May 2017.

Depreciation and Amortization

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $46.8 million of depreciation and amortization expense compared to $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The $29.6 million net increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to an increase of $26.4 million related to the properties acquired in the CCP Merger and an increase of $4.6 million from other properties acquired after April 1, 2017, partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million from properties disposed of after April 1, 2017.

Interest Expense

We incur interest expense comprised of costs of borrowings plus the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our indebtedness. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $36.8 million of interest expense compared to $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The $20.9 million net increase is primarily related to (i) a $7.4 million increase in interest expense related to two senior notes assumed in the CCP Merger (see Note 7, “Debt” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information), (ii) a $6.4 million increase in interest expense related to our U.S. dollar term loans as a result of increasing U.S. dollar term loan borrowings from $245.0 million to $1.1 billion in connection with the CCP Merger, (iii) a $5.6 million increase in interest expense related to the borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility, (iv) a $0.9 million increase primarily related to the $98.5 million secured term loan assumed in the CCP Merger and (v) a $0.6 million increase of non-cash interest expense related to our interest rate hedges.

Operating Expenses

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $12.3 million of operating expenses compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The $7.9 million increase is primarily due to a $7.5 million increase related to 13 properties acquired after April 1, 2017 and a $0.1 million increase due to one senior housing community that was transitioned to Senior Housing - Managed communities in May 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include compensation-related expenses as well as professional services, office costs, and other costs associated with asset management. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, general and administrative expenses were $9.3 million compared to $5.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017. The $4.1 million increase is primarily related to (i) a $1.0 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, (ii) a $0.7 million increase in payroll expenses related to the increased number of employees, (iii) $0.6 million of expenses related to the previously anticipated refinancing of the Senior Notes (as defined below), (iv) a $0.5 million increase in legal, professional and insurance fees primarily due to the management of the increased number of investments, (v) $0.3 million in legal fees related to the recovery of previously reserved cash rental income and (vi) $0.3 million of transition expenses for the CCP Merger primarily consisting of salaries, severance benefits and office expenses. The increase in stock-based compensation expense, from $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $2.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018, is primarily due to the increased number of employees and the change in our stock price during the three months ended June 30, 2018 (an increase of $4.08 per share) compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017 (a decrease of $3.83 per share). We issue stock to employees who elected to receive annual bonuses in stock rather than in cash and therefore changes in our stock price will result in changes to our bonus expense.

Merger and Acquisition Costs

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $0.1 million of merger and acquisition costs compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The costs incurred in both periods were primarily related to the CCP Merger.

(Recovery of) Provision for Doubtful Accounts and Loan Losses

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized a $0.7 million net recovery of doubtful accounts and loan losses, which is comprised of a $1.0 million recovery of previously reserved cash rental income, offset by a $0.1 million increase in reserves on straight-line rental income and a $0.2 million increase in loan loss reserves. During the three months

45

ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a $0.5 million provision for doubtful accounts and loan losses, which is primarily comprised of a $0.3 million increase in reserves on straight-line rental income and a $0.2 million increase in loan loss reserves.

Impairment of Real Estate

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $0.9 million of impairment of real estate related to one skilled nursing/transitional care facility. No impairment of real estate was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Other Income

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we did not recognize any other income. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $0.9 million of other income, which was primarily due to the amortization of lease termination payments related to a memorandum of understanding with Genesis.

Net Gain on Sales of Real Estate

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized an aggregate net gain on the sales of real estate of $142.9 million primarily related to the disposition of 32 skilled nursing/transitional care facilities and four senior housing communities. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a net gain on the sale of real estate of $4.0 million related to the disposition of one skilled nursing/transitional care facility. See Note 5, “Asset Held for Sale and Dispositions” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Loss from Unconsolidated Joint Venture

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $2.3 million of loss from the Enlivant Joint Venture. Included in the loss is $0.6 million of deferred tax expense.

Income Tax Expense

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $0.6 million of income tax expense compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase is primarily due to the increase in Senior Housing - Managed communities and higher state taxes as a result of the increased number of investments.

⁽¹⁾  Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of the CCP Merger and investments/dispositions made after January 1, 2017.

⁽²⁾  Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 that is not a direct result of the CCP Merger and investments/dispositions made after January 1, 2017.

Rental Income

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $288.5 million of rental income compared to $113.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $175.4 million increase in rental income is primarily due to an increase of $172.4 million from properties acquired in the CCP Merger and an increase of $21.8 million from other properties acquired after January 1, 2017, partially offset by a decrease of $6.1 million from properties disposed of after January 1, 2017, a $9.5 million decrease due to the Genesis lease restructuring agreement which reduced the annual base rent payable under the Genesis leases by $19.0 million, a $2.8 million decrease due to five skilled nursing/transitional care facilities transitioned to a new operator and a $1.4 million decrease due to the nine senior housing communities that were transitioned to Senior Housing - Managed communities in March and May 2017. Amounts due under the terms of all of our lease agreements are subject to contractual increases, and contingent rental income may be derived from certain lease agreements. No material contingent rental income was derived during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income primarily consists of income earned on our loans receivable investments, preferred returns earned on our preferred equity investments and income on the direct financing lease. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $8.9 million of interest and other income compared to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase of $4.9 million is primarily due to an increase of $5.5 million primarily related to interest income from loans receivable investments, income from a direct financing lease and income from the specialty valuation firm acquired in the CCP Merger that we subsequently sold in March 2018, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease from investments that were disposed after January 1, 2017. Included in interest income is $0.9 million from a legacy CCP loan receivable that was fully repaid in June 2018, which represents the difference between the outstanding principal balance repaid and its discounted book value.

47

Resident Fees and Services

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $35.0 million of resident fees and services compared to $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $24.7 million increase is primarily due to a $19.9 million increase related to 13 properties acquired after January 1, 2017 and a $4.5 million increase due to nine senior housing communities that were transitioned to Senior Housing - Managed communities in March and May 2017.

Depreciation and Amortization

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $94.8 million of depreciation and amortization expense compared to $36.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $58.5 million net increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to an increase of $53.1 million related to the properties acquired in the CCP Merger and an increase of $8.5 million from other properties acquired after January 1, 2017, partially offset by a decrease of $2.4 million from properties disposed of after January 1, 2017; the remaining $0.7 million decrease is primarily due to the acceleration of lease intangible amortization related to the nine senior housing communities transitioned to Senior Housing - Managed communities in March and May 2017.

Interest Expense

We incur interest expense comprised of costs of borrowings plus the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our indebtedness. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $72.6 million of interest expense compared to $31.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $40.9 million net increase is primarily related to (i) a $14.7 million increase in interest expense related to two senior notes assumed in the CCP Merger (see Note 7, “Debt” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information), (ii) a $12.5 million increase in interest expense related to our U.S. dollar term loans as a result of increasing U.S. dollar term loan borrowings from $245.0 million to $1.1 billion in connection with the CCP Merger, (iii) a $10.7 million increase in interest expense related to the borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility, (iv) a $1.7 million increase primarily related to the $98.5 million secured term loan assumed in the CCP Merger and (v) a $1.3 million increase of non-cash interest expense related to our interest rate hedges.

Operating Expenses

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $24.4 million of operating expenses compared to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $17.6 million increase is primarily due to a $14.8 million increase related to 13 properties acquired after January 1, 2017 and a $2.6 million increase due to nine senior housing communities that were transitioned to Senior Housing - Managed communities in March and May 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include compensation-related expenses as well as professional services, office costs, and other costs associated with asset management. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, general and administrative expenses were $17.1 million compared to $11.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $5.9 million increase is primarily related to (i) a $1.4 million increase in payroll expenses related to the increased number of employees, (ii) a $1.0 million increase in legal, professional and insurance fees primarily due to the management of the increased number of investments, (iii) $1.0 million of transition expenses for the CCP Merger primarily consisting of salaries, severance benefits and office expenses, (iv) $0.8 million in expenses incurred by our specialty valuation firm that we sold in March 2018, (v) $0.6 million in legal fees related to the recovery of previously reserved cash rental income and (vi) $0.6 million of expenses related to the previously anticipated refinancing of the Senior Notes. The increases are partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense, from $4.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $3.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, is primarily due to a change in performance-based vesting assumptions on management’s equity compensation.

Merger and Acquisition Costs

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $0.4 million of merger and acquisition costs compared to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The costs incurred in both periods were primarily related to the CCP Merger.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts and Loan Losses

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized a $0.5 million provision for doubtful accounts and loan losses, which is comprised of a $2.2 million increase in reserves on straight-line rental income and a $0.3 million increase in loan loss reserves, partially offset by a $2.0 million recovery of previously reserved cash rental income. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a $2.3 million provision for doubtful accounts and loan losses, which is primarily

48

comprised of a $1.9 million increase in loan loss reserves, a $0.3 million increase in reserves on straight-line rental income and a $0.1 million increase in reserves on cash rental income.

Impairment of Real Estate

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $1.4 million of impairment of real estate related to one senior housing community and one skilled nursing/transitional care facility. The senior housing community was sold during the six months ended June 30, 2018. See Note 5, “Asset Held for Sale and Dispositions” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. No impairment of real estate was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Other Income

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $2.8 million of other income. The $2.8 million of other income is comprised of a $2.0 million contingency fee earned in the current period related to a legacy CCP investment, $0.6 million related to cash payments received from two facilities not subject to a lease and $0.2 million related to the sale of our specialty valuation firm. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $3.1 million of other income, of which $2.3 million was due to the amortization of lease termination payments related to a memorandum of understanding with Genesis and $0.8 million related to other income as a result of adjusting the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of a real estate property, partially offset by $0.1 million of ineffectiveness loss related to our LIBOR interest rate swaps.

Net Gain on Sales of Real Estate

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized an aggregate net gain on the sales of real estate of $142.4 million primarily related to the disposition of 33 skilled nursing/transitional care facilities and four senior housing communities. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a net gain on the sale of real estate of $4.0 million related to the disposition of one skilled nursing/transitional care facility. See Note 5, “Asset Held for Sale and Dispositions” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Loss from Unconsolidated Joint Venture

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $1.9 million of loss from the Enlivant Joint Venture. Included in the loss is $1.1 million of deferred tax expense.

Income Tax Expense

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $1.1 million of income tax expense compared to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase is primarily due to the increase in Senior Housing - Managed communities and higher state taxes as a result of the increased number of investments.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

We believe that net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”), as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and adjusted funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“AFFO”) (and related per share amounts) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of our operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, net of amounts related to noncontrolling interests, plus our share of depreciation and amortization related to our unconsolidated joint venture, and real estate impairment charges. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding merger and acquisition costs, stock-based compensation expense, straight-line rental income adjustments, amortization of above and below market lease intangibles, non-cash interest income adjustments, non-cash interest expense, change in fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash portion of loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for doubtful straight-line rental income, loan losses and other reserves and deferred income taxes, as well as other non-cash revenue and expense items (including ineffectiveness gain/loss on derivative instruments, and non-cash revenue and expense amounts related to noncontrolling interests) and our share of non-cash adjustments related to our

49

unconsolidated joint venture. We believe that the use of FFO and AFFO (and the related per share amounts), combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among REITs more meaningful. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding the applicable items listed above, FFO and AFFO can help investors compare our operating performance between periods or as compared to other companies. While FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and AFFO also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor do they purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define AFFO differently than we do.

The following table reconciles our calculations of FFO and AFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, to net income attributable to common stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same periods (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2018, we had approximately $362.6 million in liquidity, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $38.6 million (excluding joint venture cash and cash equivalents), and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility of $324.0 million. The Credit Facility also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $2.5 billion (from U.S. $2.1 billion plus CAD $125.0 million), subject to terms and conditions. In addition, restricted cash as of June 30, 2018 includes $174.4 million held by exchange accommodation titleholders, which may be used to fund future real estate acquisitions.

We have filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC that expires in January 2020, which allows us to offer and sell shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, units, and certain of our subsidiaries to offer and sell debt securities, through underwriters, dealers or agents or directly to purchasers, on a continuous or delayed basis, in amounts, at prices and on terms we determine at the time of the offering, subject to market conditions.

We believe that our available cash, operating cash flows and borrowings available to us under our Revolving Credit Facility provide sufficient funds for our operations, scheduled debt service payments and dividend requirements for the next twelve months. In addition, we do not believe that the restrictions under our Senior Notes Indentures (as defined below) significantly limit our ability to use our available liquidity for these purposes.

We intend to invest in additional healthcare properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of financing are available. We expect that future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly-acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed, in whole or in part, by our existing cash, borrowings available to us under our Revolving Credit Facility, future borrowings or the proceeds from issuances of common stock, preferred stock, debt or other securities. In addition, we may seek financing from U.S. government agencies, including through Fannie Mae and HUD, in appropriate circumstances in connection with acquisitions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $211.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Operating cash inflows were derived primarily from the rental payments received under our lease agreements, resident fees and services net of the corresponding operating expenses and interest payments from borrowers under our loan investments. Operating cash outflows consisted primarily of interest payments on borrowings and payment of general and administrative expenses, including corporate overhead. We expect our annualized cash flows provided by operating activities to increase as a result of the CCP Merger and other completed and anticipated future real estate investments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $296.9 million and consisted of $354.5 million used for our investment in the Enlivant Joint Venture, $214.0 million used in the acquisition of 11 Senior Housing - Managed communities, five senior housing communities and two skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, $28.2 million used to provide additional funding for existing loans receivable, $16.8 million used for tenant improvements and $0.9 million used to fund preferred equity investments, partially offset by $278.2 million in sales proceeds related to the disposition of 37 real estate facilities, $38.9 million in repayments of loans receivable and $0.4 million in repayments of preferred equity investments.

We expect to continue using available liquidity in connection with anticipated future real estate investments, loan originations and preferred equity investments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash used in financing activities was $276.2 million and included $164.7 million of dividends paid to stockholders, $143.8 million for the preferred stock redemption payment, $2.1 million of principal repayments of secured debt and $0.5 million in payroll tax payments related to the issuance of common stock pursuant to equity compensation arrangements. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, we borrowed a net amount of $35.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility.

Please see the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for details of our operating, investing and financing cash activities.

The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of August 17, 2021, and includes twosix-month extension options. $200.0 million of the U.S. dollar Term Loans has a maturity date of August 17, 2020, and the other Term Loans have a maturity date of August 17, 2022.

The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries.

See Note 7, “Debt,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the Credit Facility, including information regarding covenants contained in the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Facility.

Secured Indebtedness

Of our 487 properties held for investment, 30 are subject to secured indebtedness to third parties that, as of June 30, 2018, totaled approximately $256.3 million. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our secured debt consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

Interest Rate Type	Principal Balance as of June 30, 2018 (1)		Principal Balance as of December 31, 2017 (1)		Weighted Average Effective Interest Rate at June 30, 2018 (2)		Maturity Date
Fixed Rate	$	157,781	$	160,702	3.87	%	December 2021 -  August 2051
Variable Rate	98,500		98,500		3.89	%	July 2019
	$	256,281	$	259,202	3.88	%

⁽¹⁾  Principal balance does not include deferred financing costs, net of $2.7 million and $2.8 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

⁽²⁾  Weighted average effective interest rate includes private mortgage insurance.

Capital Expenditures

We had $16.8 million and $1.3 million of capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 include $40,000 and $12,000, respectively, of capital expenditures for corporate office needs. There are no present plans for the improvement or development of any unimproved or undeveloped property; however, from time to time we may agree to fund improvements our tenants make at our facilities. Accordingly, we anticipate that our aggregate capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months will not exceed $59.0 million, and that such expenditures will principally be for improvements to our facilities and result in incremental rental income.

Dividends

We paid dividends of $164.7 million on our common and preferred stock during the six months ended June 30, 2018. As described above, on June 1, 2018, we redeemed all outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. On August 8, 2018, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on August 31, 2018 to common stockholders of record as of August 18, 2018.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of operators, tenants or obligors related to our investments are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to us, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of risks.

Management believes our current portfolio is reasonably diversified across healthcare related real estate and geographical location and does not contain any other significant concentration of credit risks. Our portfolio of 487 real estate properties held for investment as of June 30, 2018 is diversified by location across the United States and Canada.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, no tenant relationships represented 10% or more of our total revenues.

Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, 63.9% of our revenues was derived directly or indirectly from skilled nursing/transitional care facilities. Medicare reimburses skilled nursing facilities for Medicare Part A services under the Prospective

53

Payment System (“PPS”), as implemented pursuant to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and modified pursuant to subsequent laws, most recently the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. PPS regulations predetermine a payment amount per patient, per day, based on a market basket index calculated for all covered costs. The amount to be paid is determined by classifying each patient into one of 66 Resource Utilization Group (“RUG”) categories that represent the level of services required to treat different conditions and levels of acuity.

The current system of 66 RUG categories, or Resource Utilization Group, Version IV (“RUG-IV”), became effective as of October 1, 2010. RUG-IV resulted from research performed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and was part of CMS’s continuing effort to increase the correlation of the cost of services to the condition of individual patients.

On July 31, 2018, CMS issued a final rule, CMS-1696-F, which includes changes to the case-mix classification system used under the PPS and fiscal year 2019 Medicare payment updates.

CMS-1696-F includes a new case-mix classification system called the skilled nursing facility Patient-Driven Payment Model (“PDPM”) that will become effective on October 1, 2019. PDPM reflects significant changes to the Resident Classification System, Version I (“RCS-I”) that was being considered to replace RUG-IV as outlined in an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking released by CMS in May 2017.

PDPM focuses on clinically relevant factors, rather than volume-based service, for determining Medicare payment. PDPM adjusts Medicare payments based on each aspect of a resident’s care, most notably for non-therapy ancillaries, which are items and services not related to the provision of therapy such as drugs and medical supplies, thereby more accurately addressing costs associated with medically complex patients. It further adjusts the skilled nursing facility per diem payments to reflect varying costs throughout the stay and incorporates safeguards against potential financial incentives to ensure that beneficiaries receive care consistent with their unique needs and goals.

Based on changes contained within CMS-1696-F, CMS estimates that the fiscal year 2019 aggregate impact will be an increase of $820 million in Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities, resulting from the fiscal year 2019 market basket update required to be 2.4% by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. Absent the application of this statutory requirement, the fiscal year 2019 market basket update factor would have been 2.0% (comprised of a market basket index of 2.8% less the productivity adjustment of 0.8%). This 2.0% update would have resulted in an estimated aggregate increase of $670 million in Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities.

On July 31, 2017, CMS released final fiscal year 2018 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities providing an estimated net increase of 1.0% over fiscal year 2017 payments. The new payment rates became effective on October 1, 2017. In its final rule, CMS also revised and rebased the market basket index by updating the base year from fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2014.

On July 29, 2016, CMS released final fiscal year 2017 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities providing a net increase of 2.4% over fiscal year 2016 payments (comprised of a market basket increase of 2.7% less the productivity adjustment of 0.3%). The new payment rates became effective on October 1, 2016.

Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments in future years, including our secured indebtedness to third parties on certain of our properties, our Revolving Credit Facility, our Term Loans, our Senior Notes and our operating leases.

Operating leases	3,645		326		440		426		445		467		1,541
Total	$	4,132,669	$	71,985	$	240,020	$	338,110	$	1,306,462	$	1,068,072	$	1,108,020

⁽¹⁾  Secured indebtedness includes principal payments and interest payments through the applicable maturity dates. Total interest on secured indebtedness, based on contractual rates, is $78.4 million, of which $4.1 million is attributable to variable rate debt.

⁽²⁾  Revolving Credit Facility includes payments related to the facility fee due to the lenders based on the amount of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and also includes interest payments through the maturity date (assuming no exercise of our twosix-month extension options). Total interest on the Revolving Credit Facility is $79.7 million.

⁽³⁾  Term Loans includes interest payments through the applicable maturity dates totaling $141.0 million.

⁽⁴⁾  Senior Notes includes interest payments through the applicable maturity dates totaling $402.5 million.

In addition to the above, as of June 30, 2018, we have committed to provide up to $12.6 million of future funding related to seven investments, including six loans receivable investments with maturity dates ranging from September 2018 to January 2027.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have a 49% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements that we expect would materially affect our liquidity and capital resources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risks, primarily related to adverse changes in interest rates and the exchange rate for Canadian dollars. We use derivative instruments in the normal course of business to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. See Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our derivative instruments.

Interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2018, our indebtedness included $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding, $256.3 million of secured indebtedness to third parties on certain of the properties that our subsidiaries own, $1.2 billion in Term Loans and $676.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2018, we had $2.0 billion of outstanding variable rate indebtedness and $324.0 million available for borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, as of June 30, 2018, our share of unconsolidated joint venture debt was $384.2 million, of which $382.1 million was variable rate indebtedness.

We expect to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rates for our indebtedness. We also may manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings through interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2018, we had 10 interest rate swaps that fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate for $845.0 million of LIBOR-based borrowings under the U.S. dollar Term Loans at a weighted average rate of 1.19% and two interest rate swaps that fix the CDOR portion of the interest rate for CAD $90.0 million and CAD $35.0 million of CDOR-based borrowings at 1.59% and 0.93%, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30, 2018, our share of unconsolidated joint venture debt included $368.4 million of LIBOR-based borrowings subject to interest rate cap agreements that cap the LIBOR portion of the interest rate at a weighted average rate of 2.89%.

From time to time, we may borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility to finance future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly acquired properties, or for other purposes. Because borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable interest margin plus, at our option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, the interest rate we will be required to pay on any such borrowings will depend on then applicable rates and may vary. An increase in interest rates could make the financing of any investment by us more costly. Rising interest rates could also limit our ability to refinance our debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness.

Assuming a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the interest rate related to our variable rate debt, including our share of unconsolidated joint venture debt, and after giving effect to the impact of interest rate derivative instruments, income would decrease by $13.4 million or increase by $14.1 million, respectively, for the twelve months following June 30, 2018.

Foreign currency risk. We are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates as a result of our investments in Canadian real estate. Our foreign currency exposure is partially mitigated through the use of Canadian dollar denominated debt totaling CAD $147.3 million and cross currency swap instruments. Based on our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2018, if the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar were to increase or decrease by 10% compared to the average exchange rate during the three months ended June 30, 2018, our cash flows would have decreased or increased, as applicable, by $0.1 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
