Glossary INVESTING IN THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE Assisted Living Facilities (“ALFs”) Licensed healthcare facilities that provide personal care services, support and housing for those who need help with daily living activities, such as bathing, eating and dressing, yet require limited medical care. The programs and services may include transportation, social activities, exercise and fitness programs, beauty or barber shop access, hobby and craft activities, community excursions, meals in a dining room setting and other activities sought by residents. These facilities are often in apartment-like buildings with private residences ranging from single rooms to large apartments. Certain ALFs may offer higher levels of personal assistance for residents requiring memory care as a result of Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Levels of personal assistance are based in part on local regulations.  EBITDA Net income before interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization and amortization of stock-based compensation.[1] EBITDAR Net income before interest expense, income tax, depreciation, amortization and rent, after applying a standardized management fee (5% of facility operating revenues). EBITDAR Coverage Aggregate EBITDAR produced by all facilities under a master lease (or other grouping) divided by the base rent payable to CareTrust REIT under such master lease (or other grouping) for the same period. For this supplement, the reported period is the trailing twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any facility for which CareTrust REIT has not received four consecutive quarters of post-acquisition operating reports, the quarterly EBITDAR used in this calculation is the proforma EBITDAR utilized in CareTrust REIT’s underwriting process, annualized. Beginning with the fifth quarter of reported post-acquisition operating performance, each reported quarter EBITDAR replaces the oldest underwriting proforma quarter EBITDAR, until all previously-used proforma quarters EBITDAR amounts are eliminated from the calculation. 21 EBITDARM Earnings before interest expense, income tax, depreciation, amortization, rent, and a standardized management fee (5% of facility operating revenues). EBITDARM Coverage Aggregate EBITDARM produced by all facilities under a master lease (or other grouping) divided by the base rent payable to CareTrust REIT under such master lease (or other grouping) for the same period. For this supplement, the reported period is the trailing twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any facility for which CareTrust REIT has not received four consecutive quarters of post-acquisition operating reports, the quarterly EBITDARM used in this calculation is the proforma EBITDARM utilized in CareTrust REIT’s underwriting process annualized. Beginning with the fifth quarter of reported post-acquisition operating performance, each reported quarter EBITDARM replaces the oldest underwriting proforma quarter EBITDARM, until all previously-used proforma quarters EBITDARM amounts are eliminated from the calculation. Enterprise Value Share price multiplied by the number of outstanding shares plus total outstanding debt, each as of a specified date. Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) FFO, excluding straight-line rental income adjustments and amortization of deferred financing fees and stock-based compensation expense.[2] Funds from Operations (“FFO”) Net income, excluding gains and losses from real estate dispositions, before real estate depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges. CareTrust REIT calculates and reports FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.[2]

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE Independent Living Facilities (“ILFs”) Also known as retirement communities or senior apartments, ILFs are not healthcare facilities. ILFs typically consist of entirely self-contained apartments, complete with their own kitchens, baths and individual living spaces, as well as parking for tenant vehicles. They are most often rented unfurnished, and generally can be personalized by the tenants, typically an individual or a couple over the age of 55. These facilities offer various services and amenities such as laundry, housekeeping, dining options/meal plans, exercise and wellness programs, transportation, social, cultural and recreational activities, and on-site security. Normalized EBITDA EBITDA, adjusted for certain income and expense items the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing results, such as certain acquisition costs and losses from real estate dispositions.[1] Normalized FAD FAD, adjusted for certain income and expense items the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing results, such as written-off deferred financing fees and certain acquisition costs.[2] Normalized FFO FFO, adjusted for certain income and expense items the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing results, such as written-off deferred financing fees and certain acquisition costs.[2] Occupancy A facility’s occupied operating beds/units divided by the total available operating beds/units for that facility, in each case for the trailing twelve-months ended December 31, 2016; provided that Occupancy for any facility acquired during such twelve-months period may be normalized. Seniors Housing Includes ALFs, ILFs, dedicated memory care facilities and similar facilities. Skilled Nursing Campus Facilities that include a combination of Skilled Nursing beds and Seniors Housing units. Skilled Nursing or Skilled Nursing Facilities (“SNFs”) Licensed healthcare facilities that provide restorative, rehabilitative and nursing care for people not requiring the more extensive and sophisticated treatment available at an acute care hospital or long-term acute care hospital. Treatment programs include physical, occupational, speech, respiratory, ventilator, and wound therapy. Notes: [1] EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements, including the Company’s ability to fund capital expenditures or make payments on its indebtedness. Further, the Company’s computation of EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA reported by other REITs. [2] CareTrust REIT believes FAD, FFO, Normalized FAD, and Normalized FFO (and their related per-share amounts) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of its 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, even though real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions. Moreover, by excluding items not indicative of ongoing results, Normalized FAD and Normalized FFO can facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other companies. However, FAD, FFO, Normalized FAD, and Normalized FFO (and their per-share amounts) do not represent cash flows from operations or net income attributable to shareholders as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance.
