PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OMEGA ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS;
$428M OF NEW INVESTMENTS AND
 INCREASED DIVIDEND FOR 17th CONSECUTIVE QUARTER

HUNT VALLEY, MARYLAND – October 31, 2016 – Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (NYSE:OHI) (the "Company" or "Omega") today announced its results of operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016.  The Company reported for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 net income of $82.1 million, or $0.40 per common share, Funds From Operations ("FFO") of $162.6 million or $0.80 per common share, and Funds Available For Distribution ("FAD") of $152.6 million.
Omega's CEO, Taylor Pickett, said, "We are pleased to report another outstanding quarter as we continue to source attractive acquisitions and deliver superior earnings and dividend growth. As we stated in August, we have returned to our $0.01 dividend increase this quarter, marking the 17th consecutive quarterly dividend increase."  Mr. Pickett, continued, "We continue to aggressively prune underperforming assets and non-strategic relationships.  As a result, we recognized modest impairments of $17 million during the quarter.  Assuming the completion of asset sales currently contemplated, we expect that gains on future sales will approximately offset the impairments recorded in 2016."
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company reported net income of $82.1 million, or $0.40 per common share, on operating revenues of $224.6 million.  This compares to net income of $83.3 million, or $0.43 per common share, on operating revenues of $202.0 million, for the same period in 2015.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company reported net income of $253.5 million, or $1.26 per common share, on operating revenues of $666.3 million.  This compares to net income of $169.8 million, or $0.97 per common share, on operating revenues of $533.1 million, for the same period in 2015.
The year-to-date increase in net income compared to the prior year was primarily due to revenue associated with the acquisition by merger (the "Aviv Merger") of Aviv REIT, Inc. ("Aviv") on April 1, 2015 and new investments completed in 2015 and 2016.  This increase was partially offset by (i) $46.3 million in increased depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) $44.1 million in increased impairments on real estate assets, (iii) $6.5 million in increased interest expense and interest refinancing expense, (iv) $4.8 million in incremental general and administrative expenses, (v) $3.7 million increase in provisions for uncollectible mortgages, notes and straight-line receivables resulting from the Company repositioning assets from one operator to another and (vi) a $3.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expense.
FFO for the third quarter of 2016 includes $3.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, $2.3 million of acquisition and merger related costs and $1.8 million of interest refinancing costs.  These costs were partially offset by $0.5 million of one-time non-cash revenue.  Adjusted FFO is $0.83 per common share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016.  FFO, Adjusted FFO and FAD are non-GAAP financial measures.  For more information regarding FFO, Adjusted FFO and FAD, see the "Third Quarter 2016 Results – Funds From Operations" section.

$180 Million Secure Term Loan Repurchase – On July 25, 2016, the Company purchased the outstanding $180 million secured term loan to the Company that was acquired as part of the Aviv Merger on April 1, 2015.  The Company paid $180 million plus a 1% prepayment fee to purchase the debt.  The Company's purchase of this term loan eliminates the debt on the Company's consolidated financial statements going forward.  The term loan was secured by real estate assets having a net carrying value of $290.5 million at June 30, 2016. The interest rate was based on LIBOR, with a floor of 50 basis points, plus a margin of 350 basis points. The interest rate at June 30, 2016 was 4.13% per annum.
$700 Million Senior Notes – On July 12, 2016, the Company sold $700 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes").  The 2023 Notes were sold at an issue price of 99.739% of their face value before the underwriters' discount.  The Company's net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and expenses, were approximately $692.0 million.  The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had $223 million of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and $1.1 billion of outstanding unsecured term loan borrowings.

The Company's Adjusted FFO guidance for 2016 includes approximately $1.2 billion of combined new investments and planned capital renovation projects completed through September 30, 2016; however, it excludes the impact of gains and losses from the sale of assets, certain revenue and expense items, interest refinancing expense, capital transactions, acquisition and merger related costs, provisions for uncollectable receivables and stock-based compensation expense.  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 guidance is based on a number of assumptions, which are subject to change and many of which are outside the Company's control.  If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the timing and completion of acquisitions, divestitures, capital and financing transactions, and variations in restricted stock amortization expense may cause actual results to vary materially from our current expectations. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its projected results and potential new investments.

On September 25, 2015, the Company irrevocably deposited approximately $615.0 million to the trustee to call and redeem its $575 million 6.75% Notes due 2022.  This amount included the $575 million principal, a redemption premium of 3.375%, semi-annual interest and additional interest to the redemption date of October 26, 2015.  The $615.0 million was classified as "Other assets" on the Company's financial statements.  The Company has adjusted (or added back) 8 days of interest at 6.75% resulting from the requirement to deposit with the trustee in September.

Funds From Operations ("FFO"), Adjusted FFO and Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD") are non-GAAP financial measures.  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 exclude 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 include 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, adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization and impairments on real estate assets.  The Company believes that FFO, Adjusted FFO and FAD are important supplemental measures 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 described 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.
Adjusted FFO is calculated as FFO excluding the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation and certain revenue and expense items identified above. FAD is calculated as Adjusted FFO less non-cash interest expense and non-cash revenue, such as straight-line rent. The Company believes these measures provide an enhanced measure of the operating performance of the Company's core portfolio as a REIT. FAD is calculated as Adjusted FFO less non-cash interest expense and non-cash revenue, such as straight-line rent.  The Company's computation of Adjusted FFO and FAD are not comparable to the NAREIT definition of FFO or to similar measures reported by other REITs, but the Company believes that they are appropriate measures for this Company.
The Company uses these non-GAAP measures among the criteria to measure the operating performance of its business.  The Company also uses Adjusted FFO among the performance metrics for performance-based compensation of officers. The Company further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairments on real estate assets 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 these measures to assist the users of its financial statements in analyzing its operating performance and not as measures of liquidity or cash flow. These non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as measures of liquidity, alternatives to net income or indicators of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP.  Investors and potential investors in the Company's securities should not rely on these non-GAAP measures as substitutes for any GAAP measure, including net income.
