PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OMEGA ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS; THIRD QUARTER ADJUSTED FFO OF $0.35 PER SHARE; $40 MILLION OF NEW INVESTMENTS

TIMONIUM, MARYLAND – November 1, 2007 – Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (NYSE:OHI) today announced its results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.  The Company also reported Funds From Operations (“FFO”) available to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2007 of $22.0 million or $0.32 per common share.  The $22.0 million of FFO available to common stockholders for the quarter includes a $1.6 million non-cash provision for impairment, $0.5 million of non-cash restricted stock expense, a $0.1 million reduction in the Company’s provision for income taxes and $0.1 million of non-cash consolidation adjustments due to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”).  FFO is presented in accordance with the guidelines for the calculation and reporting of FFO issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  Adjusted FFO was $0.35 per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  Adjusted FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, which additionally excludes the impact of certain non-cash items and certain items of revenue or expenses, including: a provision for impairment and income taxes , restricted stock expenses and FIN 46R consolidation adjustments.  For more information regarding FFO and adjusted FFO, see the “Funds From Operations” section below.

GAAP NET INCOME

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported net income of $15.3 million, net income available to common stockholders of $12.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share and operating revenues of $39.2 million.  This compares to net income of $14.6 million, net income available to common stockholders of $12.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share, and operating revenues of $35.1 million for the same period in 2006.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported net income of $52.1 million, net income available to common stockholders of $44.6 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share and operating revenues of $120.0 million.  This compares to net income of $42.3 million, net income available to common stockholders of $34.8 million, or $0.60 per diluted common share, and operating revenues of $99.4 million for the same period in 2006.

The increases in net income, operating revenues and net income available to common stockholders during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 were due primarily to approximately $240 million in new investments made throughout 2006 and 2007, as well as, the impact of an allowance adjustment of $5.0 million, or $0.08 per common share, with respect to straight-line rent recognition recorded in the first quarter of 2007.

PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS

Litchfield Investment Company, LLC  On July 31, 2007, the Company completed a transaction with Litchfield Investment Company, LLC and its affiliates to purchase five skilled nursing facilities for a total investment of approximately $40 million.  The facilities total 645 beds and are located in Alabama (1), Georgia (2), Kentucky (1) and Tennessee (1).  The Company also provided a $2.5 million loan in the form of a subordinated note as part of the transaction.  Simultaneously with the closing of the purchase transaction, the five facilities were combined into an Amended and Restated Master Lease containing 13 other facilities between the Company and an existing operator, Home Quality Management.  The Amended and Restated Master Lease was extended until July 31, 2017.

Other  During the third quarter of 2007, the Company agreed to restructure a five facility master lease with one of its existing tenants whereby the Company and tenant have agreed to sell three facilities and reduce the annual rent on the master lease by $0.4 million.  Two of the facilities are under contract to be sold, pending licensure, for approximately $2.8 million in cash proceeds which will generate an accounting gain of $0.4 million.  The tenant will continue to pay full rent pursuant to the master lease until the completion of the sale of the two facilities.  Upon completion, the overall annual rent on the master lease will be reduced by $0.4 million.  In addition, the Company has recorded a $1.6 million provision for impairment on the third facility to reduce its carrying value to its estimated fair value.




DIVIDENDS

Common Dividends – On October 16, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.28 per share to be paid November 15, 2007 to common stockholders of record on October 31, 2007.  At the date of this release, the Company had approximately 68 million outstanding common shares.

 
Series D Preferred Dividends On October 16, 2007, the Board of Directors declared the regular quarterly dividends for the 8.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) to stockholders of record on October 31, 2007.  The stockholders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock on October 31, 2007 will be paid dividends in the amount of $0.52344 per preferred share on November 15, 2007.  The liquidation preference for our Series D Preferred Stock is $25.00 per share. Regular quarterly preferred dividends for the Series D Preferred Stock represent dividends for the period August 1, 2007 through October 31, 2007.
 

Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan On October 16, 2007, the Company announced the reinstatement of the optional cash purchase component of the Plan, effective immediately for investments beginning November 15, 2007.  The Company also announced that the per share purchase discount for both optional cash purchases and dividend reinvestments was reset to 1%.  Existing participants in the Plan have been sent a letter from the Company discussing enrollment status and procedures.  All questions and requests in connection with the Plan should be directed to the Plan’s administrator, Computershare, at (800) 519-3111.

 
2007 ADJUSTED FFO GUIDANCE REVISED
 

The Company has increased its 2007 adjusted FFO guidance to be between $1.37 and $1.38 per diluted share, compared to previous guidance of $1.32 and $1.36 per diluted share.  The increase is primarily due to the $40 million acquisition completed by the Company on July 31, 2007.

The Company's adjusted FFO guidance for 2007 excludes the future impacts of acquisitions, gains and losses from the sale of assets, additional divestitures, certain revenue and expense items, capital transactions and restricted stock amortization expense. A reconciliation of the adjusted FFO guidance to the Company's projected GAAP earnings is provided on a schedule attached to this press release.  The Company may, from time to time, update its publicly announced adjusted FFO guidance, but it is not obligated to do so.

The Company's adjusted FFO guidance is based on a number of assumptions, which are subject to change and many of which are outside the control of the Company.  If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change.  There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its projected results.

This press release includes Funds From Operations, or FFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure.  For purposes of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the company, or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable financial measure so calculated and presented.  As used in this press release, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The Company calculates and reports FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), and consequently, FFO is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization.  The Company believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure of its operating performance.  Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions.  The term FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue.  FFO herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO of other real estate investment trusts, or REITs, that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from the Company.

In February 2004, NAREIT informed its member companies that it was adopting the position of the SEC with respect to asset impairment charges and would no longer recommend that impairment write-downs be excluded from FFO.  In the tables included in this press release, the Company has applied this interpretation and has not excluded asset impairment charges in calculating its FFO.  As a result, its FFO may not be comparable to similar measures reported in previous disclosures.  According to NAREIT, there is inconsistency among NAREIT member companies as to the adoption of this interpretation of FFO.  Therefore, a comparison of the Company’s FFO results to another company's FFO results may not be meaningful.

The Company uses FFO as one of several criteria to measure the operating performance of its business.  The Company further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs.  The Company offers this measure to assist the users of its financial statements in analyzing its performance; however, this is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net income or an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP.  Investors and potential investors in the Company’s securities should not rely on this measure as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

Adjusted FFO is calculated as FFO available to common stockholders less non-cash stock-based compensation and one-time revenue and expense items.  The Company believes that adjusted FFO provides an enhanced measure of the operating performance of the Company’s core portfolio as a REIT.  The Company's computation of adjusted FFO is not comparable to the NAREIT definition of FFO or to similar measures reported by other REITs, but the Company believes it is an appropriate measure for this Company.
