MURFREESBORO, Tenn., Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- National Health Investors, Inc. (NYSE: NHI) announced today its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
CEO Comments
"We continued to expand our Senior Housing Operating Portfolio ("SHOP") with second quarter invested capital of $854.8 million, a 137% increase from the prior year period," said Eric Mendelsohn, NHI's President and CEO. "Our total SHOP NOI for the second quarter increased by approximately 188% year-over-year driven by our recent acquisitions while the same-store SHOP results were ahead of expectations."
"We also completed the sale of the NHC portfolio, one of the largest transactions in the Company's history, reducing balance sheet leverage to well below our target range and providing significant financial flexibility to pursue additional private-pay senior housing investments. In addition, we recently appointed a Chief Operating Officer to further strengthen our asset management and business development capabilities as we navigate the current operating environment and position the Company to capitalize on the long-term demographic tailwinds supporting our industry. With a strengthened balance sheet, substantial liquidity, and a growing SHOP portfolio, we believe NHI is well positioned to execute on attractive investment opportunities and create long-term value for stockholders," concluded Mr. Mendelsohn.

Quarterly Financial Results
Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year were impacted by the following:
- Rental income increased $1.1 million, or 1.6%, which primarily included a $3.0 million increase from 11 properties acquired since April 1, 2025, partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease from seven properties transitioned to the SHOP segment in August 2025.
- Resident fees and services, less senior housing operating expenses, increased $7.2 million which included a $4.7 million increase from acquisitions of 20 properties since April 1, 2025 and a $2.7 million increase from the seven transitioned properties discussed above.
- On a same store ("Same Store") basis, resident fees and services, less senior housing operating expenses, declined $0.2 million.
- Interest income from mortgage and other notes receivable decreased $1.0 million, or 16.1%, primarily due to a net reduction in the principal amounts of mortgage and other notes receivable outstanding in the current period compared to the prior year period.
- Depreciation and amortization increased $5.6 million, or 28.3%, primarily due to a $5.4 million increase from acquisitions activity since April 1, 2025.
- Interest expense increased $0.8 million, or 5.4%, primarily due to a $4.7 million increase from the 2033 Senior Notes issued in September 2025, partially offset by repayments of the bank term loan and a private placement note and also partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on the Company's variable rate debt.
- Legal expense decreased $0.7 million, or 59.4%, primarily due to costs incurred in the prior year period related to the transitioning of seven properties into the SHOP segment in August 2025.
- General and administrative expenses increased $2.7 million, or 44.0%, primarily due to higher compensation costs and costs incurred in the current period related to the Company's CFO transition.

- Gains from equity method investment of $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 related to cash distributions received from this investment.
- Income tax expense of $0.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 consisted of deferred income tax expense primarily resulting from the changes in the operations and investments within the Company's TRS during the period.
National HealthCare Corporation ("NHC") Leased Portfolio Disposition
In April 2026, the Company executed a purchase and sale agreement with NHC/Op, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of NHC, and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the "NHC Purchaser") related to the sale of a portfolio of 35 properties in the Real Estate Investments segment that were leased to NHC. These properties consisted of 32 SNFs and three ILFs which were initially acquired by the Company in 1991. As of June 30, 2026, these properties were classified as assets held for sale and had an aggregate net carrying value of $13.6 million. The Company completed the sale of this portfolio on July 1, 2026 for cash consideration of $560.0 million and expects to recognize a gain of approximately $541.6 million on the sale.
Contemporaneously with the closing of the sale of the NHC leased portfolio, the Company executed a partial master lease termination and partial assignment and assumption of the master lease agreement terminating the master lease agreement with NHC with respect to all properties, except four subleased properties located in Florida. The Company assigned to the NHC Purchaser, and the NHC Purchaser assumed from the Company, the master lease for the subleased properties. In July 2026, the Company recognized a reversal of deferred income of $0.5 million related to the lease termination as part of the gain on the sale of these properties.
Other Portfolio Activity
- In April 2026, the Company amended the four master lease agreements with Bickford Senior Living ("Bickford") increasing the combined annual base rent for the portfolio of 37 properties to $38.4 million with annual rent escalators ranging between 2.0% and 3.0%. As a result of these amendments, Bickford is also required to pay contingent rent based on a percentage of the combined monthly revenues for all of the properties leased to Bickford that exceeds a base amount.
- In May 2026, the Company acquired a portfolio of seven senior housing properties located in Colorado with a combined total of 532 units. The total purchase price was $106.9 million, including closing costs. The properties were acquired pursuant to a Section 1031 reverse exchange transaction which was completed on July 1, 2026 when the NHC properties were sold. The properties are included in the SHOP segment and managed by Generations, LLC.
- In June 2026, the Company acquired two senior housing properties located in Georgia. The total purchase price was $17.5 million, including closing costs. The properties were acquired pursuant to a Section 1031 reverse exchange transaction which was completed on July 1, 2026 when the NHC properties were sold. The properties are included in the Real Estate Investments segment and leased pursuant to a triple-net lease with an initial annual lease rate of 8.0% and annual rent escalators of 2.0%.
- In the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company completed dispositions of four properties for aggregate net proceeds of $91.8 million. The aggregate net carrying amounts of these properties was $70.0 million. The Company recognized an aggregate gain of $21.8 million on the sale of these properties. The Company received a $5.5 million mortgage note from an affiliate of the buyer related to one of these properties as part of the consideration. These properties were included in the Real Estate Investments segment.
- In addition to the sale of the NHC properties previously discussed, the Company completed the sale of two properties located in Texas for $19.0 million in cash consideration. These properties were included in the Real Estate Investments segment and classified as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2026.
Recent Pipeline Developments
- The Company currently has approximately $127.3 million of investment opportunities under signed Letters of Intent ("LOI") primarily in the SHOP segment with an average initial NOI yield of approximately 6.8%. The Company expects to utilize the proceeds from the Section 1031 exchange transaction initiated by the NHC portfolio sale for these opportunities.
- In addition to the signed LOIs, the Company is currently evaluating a pipeline of approximately $420 million of investments which include SHOP, sale-leasebacks and loans with purchase options primarily for senior housing properties. The pipeline excludes portfolio deals.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $1.2 billion of consolidated net debt, including $438.0 million outstanding on its $700.0 million revolving credit facility. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company repaid the remaining $125.0 million outstanding on its bank term loan upon maturity.
The Company continues to maintain a strong financial profile with a consolidated net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.1x, which is currently well within the Company's target range of 3.5x to 4.5x. The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants and has investment grade credit ratings from Moody's, S&P Global and Fitch Ratings.
ATM Equity Program
Concurrently with the renewal of its shelf registration statement in March 2026, the Company entered into a new equity distribution agreement whereby the Company can sell up to $500.0 million in common stock under its ATM equity program. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company settled the remaining $44.9 million of ATM forward equity sales agreements that were outstanding under the previous ATM equity program. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $500.0 million available under its ATM equity program.

Notes to the Reconciliations of FFO, Normalized FFO, Normalized FAD and NOI
The supplemental performance measures described below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other REITs. Consequently, funds from operations ("FFO"), Normalized FFO, Normalized FAD and NOI, as presented herein, may not provide a meaningful measure of the Company's performance as compared to that of other REITs. Since other REITs may not use a similar definition of these performance measures, caution should be exercised when comparing FFO, Normalized FFO, Normalized FAD and NOI, as presented herein, to that of other REITs. These performance measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP as they exclude the changes in operating assets and liabilities, and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of performance or as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity, and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.
Funds From Operations - FFO
FFO and Normalized FFO are important supplemental performance measures for REITs. These performance measures are useful in that the historical cost accounting convention under GAAP requires real estate assets, other than land, to be depreciated over their estimated useful lives implying that the realizable values of real estate assets diminish predictably over time. Since real estate asset values typically rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results of REITs using the historical cost accounting convention could be considered less informative to investors and should be supplemented with a measure such as FFO. FFO was designed by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure to address this issue.
The Company defines FFO, or NAREIT FFO, as net income attributable to common stockholders excluding gains on dispositions of real estate properties, impairments of real estate properties and real estate depreciation and amortization expense. These exclusions are adjusted to remove the impact of amounts that are attributable to noncontrolling interests and holders of participating securities. The Company's computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from that of the Company, and therefore caution should be exercised when comparing the Company's FFO to that of other REITs.
Normalized FFO excludes from FFO certain items which, due to their infrequent or unpredictable nature, may create some difficulty in comparing FFO for the current periods to similar prior periods. These adjustments may include, but are not limited to including, impairments of non-real estate assets, gains or losses on non-real estate assets and liabilities and recoveries of previous write-downs on mortgage and other notes receivable.
Funds Available for Distribution - FAD
Normalized FAD is also an important supplemental performance measure for REITs. It is a useful measure of liquidity and serves as an indicator of the Company's ability to distribute dividends to its stockholders each period. GAAP requires a lessor to recognize contractual lease payments as income on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease. This straight-line rent adjustment has the effect of reporting rental income that is significantly more or less than the contractual cash flows received pursuant to the terms of the lease agreements. GAAP also requires any discount or premium related to indebtedness and debt issuance costs to be amortized as non-cash adjustments to earnings. Normalized FAD includes adjustments for these types of non-cash items of a recurring nature typical to REITs and is further adjusted to reflect the cash outflows for recurring capital expenditures. Certain other costs that fluctuate that are not related to the recurring business are also excluded from Normalized FAD.
The Company defines Normalized FAD as Normalized FFO excluding straight-line rent revenue adjustments, amortization of lease incentives, non-real estate depreciation and amortization expense and amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts. The Company also adjusts Normalized FAD for the net change in its credit loss reserves, share-based compensation expense, SHOP capital expenditures, deferred income tax expense, as well as certain non-cash items related to the Company's equity method investment, such as straight-line lease expense and amortization of purchase accounting adjustments. The Company removes the impact of the above adjustments that are attributable to noncontrolling interests and holders of participating securities. Normalized FAD for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included an adjustment for transaction costs incurred related to a large transaction in the SHOP segment that did not materialize.
Net Operating Income - NOI
NOI is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate assets. The Company defines NOI as total revenues, less tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses and senior housing operating expenses. The Company believes NOI provides investors relevant and useful information to investors as it measures the operating performance of real estate assets at the property level on an unleveraged basis. The Company uses NOI in making decisions on resource allocations to its operating segments.
Same Store
The Company defines Same Store as real estate properties owned, consolidated and operational for the full period in both comparative periods and that are not otherwise excluded; provided, however, that the Company may include selected properties that otherwise meet the Same Store criteria if they are included in substantially all of, but not a full, period for one or both of the comparative periods, and in management's judgment such inclusion provides a more meaningful presentation of the Company's segment performance.
Newly acquired properties, recently developed or redeveloped properties and properties undergoing an operator transition will be included in Same Store after five full quarters from the date of acquisition, transition or being placed into service. SHOP properties and properties with triple-net leases that have undergone operator or business model transitions will be included in Same Store once operating under consistent operating structures for the full period in both periods presented.
Properties are excluded from Same Store if they are: (i) sold, classified as assets held for sale or properties whose operations were classified as discontinued operations in accordance with GAAP; (ii) impacted by significant disruptive events such as flood or fire; (iii) those properties that are currently undergoing a significant disruptive redevelopment; or (iv) those properties that are scheduled to undergo operator or business model transitions, or have transitioned operators or business models after the start of the prior comparison period.
