Forward Guidance
Omega Healthcare's first quarter earnings are expected to be impacted by deferred rents associated with additional operator restructurings, which will result in a decline in earnings and a related increase in the dividend payout ratio. Operating performance is expected to improve as the year progresses and operator restructurings are completed. However, the risk of further operator issues remains due to facility occupancy and profitability still being meaningfully below pre-pandemic levels.
Positive Outlook
- Portfolio occupancy continues to grow, albeit modestly, as the labor market gradually improves.
- Many states have implemented much needed Medicaid reimbursement rate increases.
- Skilled nursing industry is an integral part of the healthcare continuum and an important tool in the effort to meet increasing clinical needs at a manageable price.
- The industry is well positioned to benefit from multi-decade demographic tailwinds.
- Omega will continue to work with its operators to help them meet this increased demand.
Challenges Ahead
- First quarter earnings will be further impacted by deferred rents associated with additional operator restructurings.
- Expected decline in first quarter earnings and a related increase in the dividend payout ratio.
- Risk of further operator issues remains.
- Facility occupancy and profitability are still meaningfully below pre-pandemic levels.
