• Pay off of the secured notes payable and secured revolving credit facilities assumed in the Care REIT acquisition;
• Cash on hand of approximately $65 million; and
• Investment pipeline of approximately $600 million.

CareTrust’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Dave Sedgwick, commented, “Over the last 18 months we have invested more than the prior eight years combined, deploying roughly $2.7 billion of capital into growth opportunities. In May, we closed on the strategic acquisition of Care REIT that marked our entry into the UK care home market. Determined to maintain momentum in the wake of that transaction, we invested an additional $220 million in the second quarter and since, bringing our total investments year-to-date to approximately $1.2 billion. These investments have broadened our operator bench and diversified our asset mix, payor base and geographic reach -- all while we maintained low leverage, improved our credit capacity to support future expansion and reloaded our pipeline.” Mr. Sedgwick continued, “To ensure the flywheel continues to rip, we have invested throughout the organization by selectively adding talent in tax, finance, investments and asset management, integrating a team of London-based professionals, and deepening operator relationships. All of these moves together are not only producing meaningful FFO per share growth but are also setting the table for strong performance for years to come.”

Chief Financial Officer, Bill Wagner, reported that, for the second quarter, CareTrust reported net income of $68.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted weighted-average common share, normalized FFO of $83.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted weighted-average common share, and normalized FAD of $83.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted weighted-average common share.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $380.1 million available for future issuances under the ATM Program. “We have plenty of available capital under both our ATM Program and revolving credit line which will allow us to fund a replenishing pipeline of accretive investment opportunities,” said Mr. Wagner.
