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, operators and Senior Housing - Managed communities (as defined below), the expected amounts and timing of dividends and other distributions, projected expenses and capital expenditures, competitive position, growth opportunities, potential investments, potential dispositions, 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:

•operational risks with respect to our Senior Housing - Managed communities;

•competitive conditions in our industry;

•the loss of key management personnel;

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

•potential impairment charges and adjustments related to the accounting of our assets;

•the potential variability of our reported rental and related revenues as a result of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases, as amended by subsequent ASUs;

•our tenants’ or operators’ failure to adhere to applicable privacy and data security laws, or a material breach of our or our tenants’ or operators’ information technology;

•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;

NOTES TO 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 United States (“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 U.S. 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 a wholly owned subsidiary of Sabra is currently the only limited partner, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily comprised of skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, senior housing communities (“Senior Housing - Leased”), behavioral health facilities 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; and preferred equity investments.

COVID-19

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread have negatively impacted and are expected to continue to negatively impact the Company and its operations in a number of ways, including but not limited to:

•Decreased occupancy and increased operating costs for the Company’s tenants and borrowers, which have negatively impacted their operating results and may adversely impact their ability to make full and timely rental payments and debt service payments, respectively, to the Company. In some cases, the Company may have to restructure tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to the Company as those currently in place. Reduced or modified rental and debt service amounts could result in the determination that the full amounts of the Company’s investments are not recoverable, which could result in an impairment charge. To date, the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s skilled nursing/transitional care facility and assisted living community tenants has been partially mitigated by the assistance they have received or expect to receive from state and federal assistance programs, including through the CARES Act (as defined and further described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates” in Part I, Item 2), although these benefits on an individual tenant basis vary and may not provide enough relief to meet their rental obligations to the Company. From the beginning of the pandemic through March 31, 2022, the Company has agreed to temporary pandemic-related rent deferrals for six tenants of two to nine months of rent totaling $3.2 million, of which $0.5 million has been repaid. However, the longer the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the more likely that the Company’s tenants and borrowers will begin to default on these obligations, particularly if state and federal assistance is reduced or eliminated. Such defaults could materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and liquidity, in addition to resulting in potential impairment charges.

•Decreased occupancy and increased operating costs within the Company’s Senior Housing - Managed portfolio, which have negatively impacted and are expected to continue to negatively impact the operating results of these investments. As noted above, the assistance received or expected to be received by eligible assisted living operators will partially mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s Senior Housing - Managed portfolio. Prolonged deterioration in the operating results for the Company’s investments in its Senior Housing - Managed portfolio could result in the determination that the full amounts of the Company’s investments are not recoverable, which could result in an impairment charge.

•See Note 4, “Investment in Real Estate Properties,” for discussion of the impact on the Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint venture.

The Company’s financial results as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 reflect the results of the Company’s evaluation of the impact of COVID-19 on its business including, but not limited to, its evaluation of potential impairments of long-lived or other assets, measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, evaluation of any lease

modifications, evaluation of lease accounting impact, estimates of fair value and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sabra and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited 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 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 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 months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 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 March 31, 2022, the Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs.

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 March 31, 2022, none of the Company’s investments in loans were 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 March 31, 2022, 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 consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional guidance that provides transition relief for reference rate reform, including optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 is effective upon issuance, and the provisions generally can be applied prospectively as of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2024. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which refines the scope of Topic 848 and clarifies some of its guidance. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

3. RECENT REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company acquired one Senior Housing - Managed community. The investment was part of the Company’s proprietary development pipeline and was previously reflected as a preferred equity investment which had a book value of $5.6 million at the time of acquisition. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company acquired one behavioral health facility and one Senior Housing - Managed community.

Operating Leases

As of March 31, 2022, the substantial majority of the Company’s real estate properties (excluding 50 Senior Housing - Managed communities) were leased under triple-net operating leases with expirations ranging from less than one year to 20 years. As of March 31, 2022, the leases had a weighted-average remaining term of seven years. The leases generally 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 consolidated balance sheets and totaled $11.2 million and $28.6 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and letters of credit deposited with the Company totaled approximately $82 million and $63 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In addition, the Company’s tenants have deposited with the Company $16.7 million and $16.8 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, for future real estate taxes, insurance expenditures and tenant improvements related to the Company’s

Table of Contents

properties and their operations, and these amounts are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Lessor costs that are paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessee are included in the measurement of variable lease revenue and the associated expense. As a result, the Company recognized variable lease revenue and the associated expense of $5.1 million and $4.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its tenants by evaluating the ability of the tenants to meet their lease obligations to the Company based on the tenants’ financial performance, including, as applicable and appropriate, the evaluation of any parent guarantees (or the guarantees of other related parties) of such lease obligations. 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 as supplemented by 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, 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 the majority of 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.

The Avamere Family of Companies (“Avamere”) leases 27 facilities from the Company and has been impacted by census declines, labor cost increases and cash flow constraints as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the Company concluded that its lease with Avamere should no longer be accounted for on an accrual basis and used Avamere’s $11.9 million letter of credit to fund rent. In 2022, Avamere’s lease was amended to, among other things, reduce Avamere’s annual base rent to $30.7 million from $44.1 million effective February 1, 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, no tenant relationship represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues.

As of March 31, 2022, the future minimum rental payments from the Company’s properties held for investment under non-cancelable operating leases were as follows and may materially differ from actual future rental payments received (in thousands):


April 1 through December 31, 2022	$	305,189
2023	394,427
2024	394,817
2025	387,304
2026	370,067
Thereafter	1,410,722
	$	3,262,526

Senior Housing - Managed Communities

The Company’s Senior Housing - Managed communities offer residents certain ancillary services that are not contemplated in the lease with each resident (i.e., housekeeping, laundry, guest meals, etc.). These services are provided and paid for in addition to the standard services included in each resident lease (i.e., room and board, standard meals, etc.). The Company bills residents for ancillary services one month in arrears and recognizes revenue as the services are provided, as the Company has no continuing performance obligation related to those services. Resident fees and services include ancillary service revenue of $0.3 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

The Company has a 49% equity interest in a joint venture (the “Enlivant Joint Venture”) with affiliates of TPG Real Estate, the real estate platform of TPG. TPG also owns Enlivant, the senior housing management platform that manages the portfolio owned by the Enlivant Joint Venture. As of March 31, 2022, the Enlivant Joint Venture owned 158 senior housing communities.

Table of Contents

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company re-evaluated its plans with respect to the Enlivant Joint Venture and determined that it intends to eventually exit its 49% stake. The Company revisited its estimate of the fair value of its investment in the Enlivant Joint Venture and concluded that the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value of the investment and deemed the decline to be other-than-temporary. This resulted in the Company recording an impairment charge totaling $164.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, the book value of the Company’s investment in the Enlivant Joint Venture was $93.9 million which includes an unamortized basis difference of $291.8 million. The unamortized basis difference is related to the difference between the amount the Company purchased its interest in the Enlivant Joint Venture for and the historical cost basis of the assets. The Company’s book value of the Enlivant Joint Venture is presented net of the debt at the joint venture level.

The ongoing operating performance of the Enlivant Joint Venture, as well as whether TPG is able to secure a buyer on favorable terms or at all, will impact the ultimate amounts realized from the Enlivant Joint Venture and may require the Company to recognize an additional impairment charge in the future with respect to this investment. Accordingly, the amount ultimately realized by the Company for its investment in the Enlivant Joint Venture could materially differ from its estimated fair value as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022.

Net Investment in Sales-Type Lease

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had a $25.3 million net investment in one skilled nursing/transitional care facility leased to an operator under a sales-type lease, as the tenant is obligated to purchase the property at the end of the lease term. The net investment in sales-type lease is recorded in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and represents the present value of total rental payments of $2.5 million, plus the estimated purchase price of $25.6 million, less the unearned lease income of $2.6 million and allowance for credit losses of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2022. 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 sales-type lease was $0.6 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and is reflected in interest and other income on the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company reduced its allowance for credit losses by $32,000 and increased its allowance for credit losses by $0.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company was required to recognize a $1.0 million gain on sale of real estate prior to the sale to the tenant as a result of a lease modification and reassessing the classification of the lease and determining it should be accounted for as a sales-type lease. Future minimum lease payments contractually due under the sales-type lease at March 31, 2022 were as follows: $1.8 million for the remainder of 2022 and $0.8 million for 2023.

5. ASSET HELD FOR SALE AND DISPOSITIONS

Asset Held for Sale

As of March 31, 2022, the Company determined that one senior housing community with an aggregate net book value of $2.0 million met the criteria to be classified as an asset held for sale, and this balance is included in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the facility for a gross sales price of $2.6 million.

Dispositions

No dispositions were completed during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The following table summarizes the Company’s dispositions for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (dollars in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021
Number of facilities	2
Consideration, net of closing costs	$	5.3
Net carrying value	5.0
Net gain on sale	$	0.3

Net income	$	0.3

Table of Contents

The sale of the disposition 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.

Credit Agreement

On September 9, 2019, the Operating Partnership and Sabra Canadian Holdings, LLC (together, the “Borrowers”), Sabra and the other parties thereto entered into a fifth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement includes a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a $460.0 million U.S. dollar term loan 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

Table of Contents

Agreement also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $2.75 billion, subject to terms and conditions.

The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of September 9, 2023, and includes two six-month extension options. The Term Loans have a maturity date of September 9, 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $0.3 million of loss on extinguishment of debt related to write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with the partial pay down of the U.S. dollar Term Loan.

As of March 31, 2022, there was $16.8 million (comprised of CAD $21.0 million) outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $983.2 million available for borrowing.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to a ratings-based applicable interest margin plus, Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) for Canadian dollar borrowings, or at the Operating Partnership’s option for U.S. dollar borrowings, 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”). 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 0.775% to 1.45% per annum for CDOR or LIBOR based borrowings and 0.00% to 0.45% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate.

As of March 31, 2022, the interest rate on the Canadian dollar Term Loan was 2.21%.

The Company has interest rate swaps that fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate for $436.3 million of LIBOR-based borrowings under its U.S. dollar Term Loan at a weighted average rate of 1.14% and interest rate swaps that fix the CDOR portion of the interest rate for CAD $125.0 million of CDOR-based borrowings under its Canadian dollar Term Loan at a rate of 1.10%. As of March 31, 2022, the effective interest rate on both the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar Term Loans was 2.35%. In addition, CAD $125.0 million of the Canadian dollar Term Loan is designated as a net investment hedge. See Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments,” for further information.

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 and collars as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $4.7 million of losses, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months.

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.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had one outstanding cross currency interest rate swap, of which a portion was not designated as a hedging instrument, in an asset position with a fair value of $0.1 million and included this amount in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $44,000 of other expense, respectively, related to the portion of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.

Offsetting Derivatives

The Company enters into master netting arrangements, which reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. The table below presents a gross presentation, the effects of offsetting, and a net presentation of the Company’s derivatives as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

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 March 31, 2022, the Company had no derivatives in a net liability position related to these agreements.

9. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

•Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

•Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

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 Agreement 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 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. The Company utilized discount rates ranging from 7% to 13% with a weighted average rate of 8% in its fair value calculation. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 3.

Preferred equity investments: These instruments are presented on the accompanying 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 investments, the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements. The Company utilized discount rates ranging from 10% to 15% with a weighted average rate of 11% in its fair value calculation. 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 consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the fair value of derivative instruments, including its interest rate swaps, interest rate collars 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 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 consolidated balance sheets at their outstanding principal balance, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and premiums/discounts and not at fair value. The

Table of Contents

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. The Company utilized a rate of 5% in its fair value calculation. 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value (in thousands):


	As of March 31, 2022						As of December 31, 2021

(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 March 31, 2022 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value with valuation methods utilizing the following types of inputs (in thousands):


			Fair Value Measurements Using
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Secured indebtedness	43,405		—		—		43,405

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. Transaction volume for certain of the Company’s financial instruments remains relatively low, which has made the estimation of fair values difficult. Therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of fair value at a future date could be materially different.

10. EQUITY

Common Stock

On August 6, 2021, the Company established an at-the-market equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) pursuant to which shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $500.0 million may be sold from time to time (i) by the Company through a consortium of banks acting as sales agents or directly to the banks acting as principals or (ii) by a consortium of banks acting as forward sellers on behalf of any forward purchasers pursuant to a forward sale agreement. The use of a forward sale agreement would allow the Company to lock in a share price on the sale of shares at the time the agreement is effective, but defer receiving the proceeds from the sale of the shares until a later date. The Company may also elect to cash settle or net share settle all or a portion of its obligations under any forward sale agreement. The forward sale agreements have a one year term during which time the Company may settle the forward sales by delivery of physical shares of common stock to the forward purchasers or, at the Company’s election, in cash or net shares. The forward sale price that the Company expects to receive upon settlement will be the initial forward price established upon the effective date, subject to adjustments for (i) the forward purchasers’ stock borrowing costs and (ii) certain fixed price reductions during the term of the agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, no shares were sold under the ATM Program and the Company did not utilize the forward feature of the ATM Program. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $475.0 million available under the ATM Program.

The following table lists the cash dividends on common stock declared and paid by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2022:

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued 0.6 million shares of common stock as a result of restricted stock unit vestings.

Upon any payment of shares to team members as a result of restricted stock unit vestings, the team members’ 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $3.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in tax withholding obligations on behalf of its team members that were satisfied through a reduction in the number of shares delivered to those participants.

12. 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 March 31, 2022, 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 and its subsidiaries are 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.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

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 2021 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 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 and Estimates

•Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

•Results of Operations

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

•Concentration of Credit Risk

•Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates

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. 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 (“Senior Housing - Leased”), behavioral health facilities, 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; and preferred equity investments.

We expect 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 our tenants.

We employ a disciplined 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 a wholly owned subsidiary of ours is currently the only limited partner, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

COVID-19

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread have negatively impacted and are expected to continue to negatively impact us and our operations in a number of ways, including but not limited to:

•Decreased occupancy and increased operating costs for our tenants and borrowers, which have negatively impacted their operating results and may adversely impact their ability to make full and timely rental payments and debt service payments, respectively, to us. In some cases, we may have to restructure tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place. Reduced or modified

Table of Contents

rental and debt service amounts could result in the determination that the full amounts of our investments are not recoverable, which could result in an impairment charge. To date, the impact of COVID-19 on our skilled nursing/transitional care facility and assisted living community tenants has been partially mitigated by the assistance they have received or expect to receive from state and federal assistance programs, including through the CARES Act (as defined and further described below under “—Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates”), although these benefits on an individual operator basis vary and may not provide enough relief to meet their rental obligations to us. From the beginning of the pandemic through March 31, 2022, we have agreed to temporary pandemic-related rent deferrals for six tenants of two to nine months of rent totaling $3.2 million, of which $0.5 million has been repaid. However, the longer the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the more likely that our tenants and borrowers will begin to default on these obligations, particularly if state and federal assistance is reduced or eliminated. Such defaults could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity, in addition to resulting in potential impairment charges.

•Decreased occupancy and increased operating costs within our Senior Housing - Managed portfolio which have negatively impacted and are expected to continue to negatively impact the operating results of these investments. As noted above, the assistance received or expected to be received by eligible assisted living operators will partially mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19 on our Senior Housing - Managed portfolio. Prolonged deterioration in the operating results for our investments in our Senior Housing - Managed portfolio could result in the determination that the full amounts of our investments are not recoverable, which could result in an impairment charge.

Our financial results as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 reflect the results of our evaluation of the impact of COVID-19 on our business including, but not limited to, our evaluation of potential impairments of long-lived or other assets, measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, evaluation of any lease modifications, evaluation of lease accounting impact, estimates of fair value and our ability to continue as a going concern.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we acquired one Senior Housing - Managed community for $26.2 million, including acquisition costs. See Note 3, “Recent Real Estate Acquisitions,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this acquisition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

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

Results of Operations

As of March 31, 2022, our investment portfolio consisted of 416 real estate properties held for investment, one asset held for sale, one investment in a sales-type lease, 16 investments in loans receivable, seven preferred equity investments and one investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. As of March 31, 2021, our investment portfolio consisted of 426 real estate properties held for investment, one investment in a sales-type lease, 18 investments in loans receivable, six preferred equity investments and one investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. In general, we expect that income and expenses related to our portfolio will fluctuate in future periods in comparison to the corresponding prior periods as a result of investment and

disposition activity and anticipated future changes in our portfolio. The results of operations presented are not directly comparable due to ongoing acquisition and disposition activity.

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 as a result of investments/dispositions made after January 1, 2021.

(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 that is not a direct result of investments/dispositions made after January 1, 2021.

Rental and Related Revenues

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $109.9 million of rental income compared to $113.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $3.5 million net decrease in rental income is related to (i) a $3.0 million net decrease related to leases that are no longer accounted for on an accrual basis, (ii) a $2.2 million decrease from properties disposed of after January 1, 2021 and (iii) a $0.6 million decrease related to lease intangibles that have been fully amortized. The $3.0 million net decrease related to leases that are not accounted for on an accrual basis includes a $2.7 million decrease in earned cash rents and a $0.7 million decrease in non-cash rental revenue, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in operating expense recoveries. These decreases are offset by a $1.0 million increase due to lease amendments and annual increases associated with a consumer price index component and a $0.5 million increase from properties acquired after January 1, 2021.

Our reported rental and related revenues may be subject to increased variability in the future as a result of lease accounting standards. However, there can be no assurances regarding the timing and amount of these revenues. 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021.

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 sales-type lease. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $11.0 million of interest and other income compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

The net increase of $8.1 million is due to a $5.7 million increase in income from investments made after January 1, 2021, related to the $290.0 million Recovery Centers of America mortgage loan funded in October 2021, and a $2.3 million lease termination payment related to one skilled nursing facility during the three months ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in income from investments repaid after January 1, 2021.

Resident Fees and Services

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $42.2 million of resident fees and services compared to $36.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $6.2 million net increase is due to a $3.1 million increase from three Senior Housing - Managed communities acquired after January 1, 2021. The remaining increase is primarily due to increased occupancy resulting from the decreasing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and an increase in rates.

Depreciation and Amortization

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred $45.3 million of depreciation and amortization expense compared to $44.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The net increase of $0.9 million is due to a $1.3 million increase from properties acquired after January 1, 2021 and a $0.5 million increase from additions to real estate. The increases are partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease from properties disposed of after January 1, 2021 and a $0.1 million decrease due to assets that have been fully depreciated.

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 March 31, 2022, we incurred $25.0 million of interest expense compared to $24.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $0.5 million net increase is related to a $6.8 million increase in interest expense related to the issuance of the 2031 Notes (as defined below) and a $1.0 million increase in non-cash interest expense related to our interest rate hedges. The increase is offset by (i) a $3.8 million decrease in interest expense related to the redemption of all $300.0 million of 4.80% senior unsecured notes due 2024 in October 2021, (ii) a $3.4 million decrease in interest expense related to a reduction in the borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and (iii) a $0.1 million decrease in interest expense related to a decrease in our mortgage debt as a result of the sales of the facilities securing the mortgage debt during 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $5.0 million of triple-net portfolio operating expenses compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $0.1 million net decrease is primarily due to properties disposed of after January 1, 2021 and adjusting our estimates related to property taxes.

Senior Housing - Managed Portfolio Operating Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $33.1 million of Senior Housing - Managed portfolio operating expenses compared to $28.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $4.2 million net increase is due to (i) a $2.4 million increase related to three Senior Housing - Managed communities acquired after January 1, 2021, (ii) a $1.6 million increase in employee compensation due to increased labor rates, (iii) a $0.5 million increase due to the resumption of repairs and maintenance projects as pandemic-related restrictions have been eased and (iv) a $0.4 million increase in utility expense. The increases are partially offset by (i) a $0.5 million decrease in supplies and labor needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) a $0.5 million decrease in insurance expense.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include compensation-related expenses as well as professional services, office costs, other costs associated with asset management, and merger and acquisition costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, general and administrative expenses were $10.4 million compared to $8.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $1.5 million net increase is related to a $0.7 million increase in compensation for our team members as a result of increased staffing and annual salary adjustments and a $0.5 million increase in professional, consulting and legal fees primarily related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives and a consulting arrangement with our former Chief Financial Officer.

Provision for Loan Losses and Other Reserves

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized a $0.5 million and $2.0 million provision for loan losses and other reserves, respectively, associated with our loans receivable investments and sales-type lease. The $2.0

Table of Contents

million provision recognized in 2021 was primarily due to one loan deemed uncollectible during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized a $0.3 million and $0.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt, respectively, related to write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with the partial pay down of the U.S. dollar Term Loan (as defined below).

Other Income

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $0.1 million of other income primarily related to settlement payments received related to legacy Care Capital Properties investments.

Net Gain on Sales of Real Estate

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not have any sales of real estate. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized an aggregate net gain on the sales of real estate of $1.3 million related to (i) a $1.0 million gain on sale of real estate due to reassessing the classification of a lease and determining the lease, which requires the tenant to purchase the property at the maturity of the lease, should be accounted for as a sales-type lease, and this reassessment required the recognition of the gain on sale prior to the actual sale to our tenant and (ii) $0.3 million related to the disposition of two skilled nursing/transitional care facilities.

Loss from Unconsolidated Joint Venture

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $2.8 million of loss from our unconsolidated joint venture compared to $5.0 million of loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $2.2 million net decrease in loss is related to (i) a $4.9 million increase in revenue primarily due to increased occupancy resulting from the decreasing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) a $1.1 million decrease in interest expense primarily due to a favorable valuation adjustment on the interest rate caps and (iii) a $1.1 million decrease in basis difference depreciation due to the impairment recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2021. These increases are partially offset by (i) a $4.4 million increase in operating expenses and (ii) a $0.7 million decrease in deferred income tax benefits due to higher taxable income. The $4.4 million increase in operating expenses consists primarily of (i) a $4.0 million increase in employee related expenses primarily due to increased labor rates, (ii) a $0.4 million net increase in dining related expenses and resident entertainment expenses due to increased occupancy, and (iii) a $0.2 million increase due to the resumption of repairs and maintenance projects as pandemic-related restrictions have been eased, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in supplies and labor needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Income Tax Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $0.3 million of income tax expense compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $0.4 million decrease is due to lower taxable income from our Senior Housing – Managed portfolio.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

We believe that net income as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations (“FFO”), as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), and adjusted funds from operations (“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 use 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, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions and our share of gains or losses from real estate dispositions related to our unconsolidated joint venture, 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 of both consolidated and unconsolidated entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of the depreciable real estate held by the entity. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding merger and acquisition costs, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash rental and related revenues, non-cash interest income, non-cash interest expense, non-cash portion of loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for loan losses and other reserves, non-cash lease termination income and deferred income taxes, as well as other non-cash revenue and expense

Table of Contents

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 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 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, to net income, 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 March 31, 2022, we had approximately $1.0 billion in liquidity, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $24.8 million and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) of $983.2 million. The Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $2.75 billion (from U.S. $2.0 billion plus CAD $125.0 million), subject to terms and conditions.

We have filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC that expires in December 2022, 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.

On August 6, 2021, we established an at-the-market equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) pursuant to which shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $500.0 million may be sold from time to time (i) by us through a consortium of banks acting as sales agents or directly to the banks acting as principals or (ii) by a consortium of banks acting as forward sellers on behalf of any forward purchasers pursuant to a forward sale agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, no shares were sold under the ATM Program and we did not utilize the forward feature of the ATM Program. As of March 31, 2022, we had $475.0 million available under the ATM Program. Subject to market conditions, we expect to use proceeds from our ATM Program to finance future investments in properties.

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of operating expenses, including our planned capital expenditures and funding commitments, interest expense, scheduled debt service payments under our loan agreements, dividend requirements, general and administrative expenses and other requirements described under “Material Cash Requirements” below. Based on our current assessment of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our company, we believe that our available cash, operating cash flows and borrowings available to us under our Revolving Credit Facility provide sufficient funds for such requirements for the next twelve months. In addition, we do not believe that the restrictions under our Senior Notes Indentures (as defined below) or Credit Agreement significantly limit our ability to use our available liquidity for these purposes.

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly-acquired properties, as well as scheduled debt maturities. We expect to meet these liquidity needs using the sources above as well as the proceeds from issuances of common stock (including through our ATM Program), preferred stock, debt or other securities, additional borrowings, including mortgage debt or a new or refinanced credit facility, and proceeds from the sale of properties. In addition, we may seek financing from U.S. government agencies, including through Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, in appropriate circumstances in connection with acquisitions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $63.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Operating cash inflows were derived primarily from the rental payments received under our lease agreements, resident fees and services net of

Table of Contents

the corresponding operating expenses and payments from borrowers under our loan and preferred equity 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 fluctuate as a result of completed investment and disposition activity, anticipated future changes in our portfolio, fluctuations in collections from tenants and borrowers, and fluctuations in the operating results of our Senior Housing - Managed communities.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $37.2 million and included $20.6 million used for the acquisition of one facility, $10.8 million used for additions to real estate, $4.1 million used to provide funding for preferred equity investments and $3.2 million used for escrow deposits for potential investments, partially offset by $0.7 million in repayments of preferred equity investments and $0.7 million in repayments of loans receivable.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $112.5 million and included $69.3 million of dividends paid to stockholders, $40.0 million of principal repayments on term loans, $16.1 million of principal repayments on secured debt and $3.7 million of net costs related to payroll tax payments related to the issuance of common stock pursuant to equity compensation arrangements and our ATM Program, partially offset by $16.6 million of net borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility.

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

Material Cash Requirements

Our material cash requirements include the following contractual and other obligations.

Senior Unsecured Notes. Our senior unsecured notes consisted of the following (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) as of March 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

See Note 7, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Subsidiary Issuer and Guarantor Financial Information” below for additional information concerning the Senior Notes, including information regarding the indentures and agreements governing the Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes Indentures”). As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Senior Notes Indentures.

Credit Agreement. Pursuant to a fifth amended and restated credit agreement entered into by the Operating Partnership and Sabra Canadian Holdings, LLC (together, the “Borrowers”), Sabra and the other parties thereto effective on September 9, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement”), we have a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a $460.0 million U.S. dollar term loan, a CAD $125.0 million Canadian dollar term loan (collectively, the “Term Loans”) and an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $2.75 billion, subject to terms and conditions.

The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of September 9, 2023, and includes two six-month extension options. The Term Loans have a maturity date of September 9, 2024.

The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by us and one of our non-operating subsidiaries, subject to release under certain customary circumstances.

See Note 7, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the Credit Agreement, including information regarding covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

Secured Indebtedness. As of March 31, 2022, eight of our properties held for investment were subject to secured indebtedness to third parties, and our secured debt consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):


Interest Rate Type	Principal Balance (1)		Weighted Average Interest Rate		Maturity Date
Fixed Rate	$	51,572	2.84	%	May 2031 - August 2051

(1) Principal balance does not include deferred financing costs, net of $0.9 million as of March 31, 2022.

Interest. Our estimated interest and facility fee payments based on principal amounts of debt outstanding as of March 31, 2022, LIBOR (as defined below) and CDOR (as defined below) rates as of March 31, 2022, and including the impact of interest rate swaps and collars are $75.6 million for the remainder of 2022, $86.1 million in 2023, $80.2 million in 2024, $72.0 million in 2025, $72.0 million in 2026 and $184.7 million thereafter.

Capital Expenditures and Funding Commitments. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our aggregate capital expenditures were $10.8 million. As of March 31, 2022, our aggregate commitment for future capital expenditures was approximately $127 million. These commitments are principally for improvements to our facilities and we do not expect those commitments to exceed $96 million for the next 12 months, of which we expect $57 million to directly result in incremental rental income.

In addition, as of March 31, 2022, we have committed to provide up to $58.9 million of future funding related to one preferred equity investment and two loans receivable investments with maturity dates ranging from September 2022 to November 2026.

Dividends. To maintain REIT status, we are required each year to distribute to stockholders at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income after certain adjustments. All distributions will be made by us at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, capital requirements, debt covenants (which include limits on distributions by us), applicable law, and other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

We paid dividends of $69.3 million on our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022. On May 4, 2022, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on May 31, 2022 to common stockholders of record as of May 16, 2022.

Subsidiary Issuer and Guarantor Financial Information. In connection with the Operating Partnership’s assumption of the 2026 Notes, we have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 2026 Notes, subject to release under certain circumstances as described below. The 2029 Notes and 2031 Notes are issued by the Operating Partnership and guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, by us.

These guarantees are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt and senior guarantees of the applicable guarantors and are unsecured. We conduct all of our business through and derive virtually all of our income from our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to make required payments with respect to our indebtedness (including the Senior Notes) and other obligations depends on the financial results and condition of our subsidiaries and our ability to receive funds from our subsidiaries.

We will be automatically and unconditionally released from our obligations under the guarantee 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.

In accordance with Regulation S-X, the following aggregate summarized financial information is provided for Sabra and the Operating Partnership. This aggregate summarized financial information has been prepared from the books and records maintained by us and the Operating Partnership. The aggregate summarized financial information does not include the investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries nor the earnings from non-guarantor subsidiaries and therefore is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the Operating Partnership operated as an independent entity. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The aggregate summarized balance sheet information as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and aggregate summarized statement of loss information for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is as follows (in thousands):

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 416 real estate properties held for investment as of March 31, 2022 is diversified by location across the U.S. and Canada.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, no tenant relationship represented 10% or more of our total revenues.

Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 (excluding lease termination income of $2.3 million), 51.4% 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 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.

Prior to October 1, 2019, the amount to be paid was determined by classifying each patient into one of 66 Resource Utilization Group (“RUG”) categories that represented the level of services required to treat different conditions and levels of acuity. The 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 became 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.

On July 29, 2021, CMS released a final rule updating fiscal year 2022 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities providing an estimated net increase of 1.2% over fiscal year 2021 (comprised of a market basket increase of 2.7% less a forecast error adjustment of 0.8% and a productivity adjustment of 0.7%). These figures do not incorporate any of the estimated value-based purchasing reductions for skilled nursing facilities. No adjustments were made to the PDPM rate methodology in this year’s final rule. The new payment rates became effective on October 1, 2021.

On April 11, 2022, CMS issued a proposed rule regarding fiscal year 2023 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities providing an estimated net decrease of 0.7% compared to fiscal year 2022 (comprised of a decrease as a result of the proposed

Table of Contents

recalibrated PDPM parity adjustment of 4.6%, partially offset by an update to the payment rates of 3.9%, which is based on (i) a market basket increase of 2.8% plus (ii) a market basket forecast error adjustment of 1.5% and less (iii) a productivity adjustment of 0.4%). These figures do not incorporate any of the estimated value-based purchasing reductions for skilled nursing facilities. The proposed payment rates would become effective on October 1, 2022.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, several federal relief packages were approved that have benefited and may continue to benefit our tenants, especially our tenants that operate skilled nursing/transitional care facilities.

On March 18, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (“Families First Act”). Under the Families First Act, a temporary 6.2% increase in Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (“FMAP”) was approved retroactive to January 1, 2020, and several states have directed FMAP funds to skilled nursing/transitional care facilities.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act provides for a $178 billion fund for eligible health care providers, which includes skilled nursing/transitional care operators, and as of September 1, 2020 also includes assisted living facility operators. Thus far, approximately $145 billion of such appropriated amount has been funded through three phases of general distributions, various targeted distributions and certain performance-based incentive payments, with $25.5 billion of additional funding now being made available to health care providers (comprised of a $17 billion “Phase 4” distribution from remaining allocated funds and $8.5 billion allocated to rural providers via the American Rescue Act passed on March 11, 2021). The CARES Act also includes (i) a temporary suspension of 2% Medicare sequestration cut beginning May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, (ii) a deferral of the employer’s Social Security remittances through December 31, 2020, (iii) the establishment of the Paycheck Protection Program, a Small Business Administration loan to businesses with fewer than 500 employees that may be partially forgivable, and (iv) accelerated and advance Medicare payments for certain providers, with deferred repayment obligations that are interest-free for up to 29 months.

In addition to the above, there have been other actions taken that benefit skilled nursing/transitional care operators, including the waiver of the requirement for skilled nursing/transitional care patients to have stayed in a hospital for three days in order for services rendered in a skilled nursing/transitional care facility to qualify for Medicare Part A, the acceleration and advance of three months of Medicare billing, and relaxation of certification requirements for employees performing non-clinical services in these facilities.

The Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) most recently extended the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency for another 90 days, effective April 16, 2022, which allows HHS to continue providing some temporary regulatory waivers, including the waiver of the three-day hospital stay requirement, and new rules to equip skilled nursing facilities and some assisted living operators with flexibility to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the FMAP funding increase will remain in effect through September 30, 2022. Lastly, suspension of the Medicare sequestration is effective through March 31, 2022 after which a 1% payment adjustment will be in effect from April through June 2022, and a further 1% payment adjustment will be effective July 1, 2022.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk set forth in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
