“The CareTrust flywheel continues to accretively deliver year-over-year growth of our asset base and FFO. The relationship with LNT is a multiplier to our SHOP and UK care home growth engines. We've never been more excited for the runway ahead.”

“The midpoints of our updated Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD guidance represent increases of 18.5% and 16.2%, respectively, over 2025 results. The new term loan and expanded revolver extend our runway and give us substantial capacity to fund the acquisition of the remaining LNT homes and the rest of our pipeline. With leverage well below our target range and multiple levers across our capital toolkit, we are well positioned to keep funding growth at our current pace.”
