STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “10-Q”) contain “forward-looking” information as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that do not relate to historical or current facts or matters are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include all statements regarding our proposed merger transaction with Care Capital Properties, Inc. (“CCP”), our expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financing plans, business strategy, budgets, the expected amounts and timing of dividends and other distributions, projected expenses and capital expenditures, competitive position, growth opportunities, potential investments, 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:


•	our dependence on Genesis Healthcare, Inc. (“Genesis”) and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Holiday AL Holdings LP (collectively, “Holiday”) until we are able to further diversify our portfolio;


•	our dependence on the operating success of our tenants;


•	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;


•	changes in foreign currency exchange rates;


•	our ability to raise capital through equity and debt financings;


•	the impact of required regulatory approvals of transfers of healthcare properties;


•	the effect of changing healthcare regulation and enforcement on our tenants and the dependence of our tenants on reimbursement from governmental and other third-party payors;


•	the relatively illiquid nature of real estate investments;


•	competitive conditions in our industry;


•	the loss of key management personnel or other employees;


•	the impact of litigation and rising insurance costs on the business of our tenants;


•	the effect of our tenants declaring bankruptcy or becoming insolvent;


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


•	the ownership limits and anti-takeover defenses in our governing documents and Maryland law, which may restrict change of control or business combination opportunities;


•	the impact of a failure or security breach of information technology in our operations;


•	our ability to find replacement tenants and the impact of unforeseen costs in acquiring new properties;


•	our ability to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”);


•	changes in tax laws and regulations affecting REITs; and


•	compliance with REIT requirements and certain tax and tax regulatory matters related to our status as a REIT.

Additional factors related to the proposed merger transaction with CCP include, among others, the following:


•	the possibility that the parties may be unable to obtain required stockholder approvals or regulatory approvals or that other conditions to closing the transaction may not be satisfied, such that the transaction will not close or that the closing may be delayed;


•	the potential adverse effect on tenant and vendor relationships, operating results and business generally resulting from the proposed transaction;


•	the proposed transaction will require significant time, attention and resources, potentially diverting attention from the conduct of our business;


•	the amount of debt that will need to be refinanced or amended in connection with the proposed merger and the ability to do so on acceptable terms;


•	changes in healthcare regulation and political or economic conditions;


•	the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction may not be realized;


•	the anticipated and unanticipated costs, fees, expenses and liabilities related to the transaction;

Table of Contents


•	the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the transaction; and


•	the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement.

We urge you to carefully consider these risks and review the additional disclosures we make concerning risks and other factors that may materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements and our future business and operating results, including those made in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (our “2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this 10-Q, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We caution you that any forward-looking statements made in this 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, events or results, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We do not intend, and we undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking information to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless required by law to do so.

NOTES TO CONDENSED 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 (the "Separation Date"). Sabra elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with the filing of its 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 United States 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 Sabra's wholly owned subsidiaries are currently the only limited partners, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily comprised of skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, senior housing facilities and an acute care hospital leased to third-party operators; senior housing facilities operated by third-party property managers pursuant to property management agreements (“Managed Properties”); investments in loans receivable; and preferred equity investments.

Pending Merger with CCP

On May 7, 2017, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Care Capital Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCP”), PR Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Care Capital Properties, L.P. (“CCPLP”), a Delaware limited partnership and wholly-owned subsidiary of CCP. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CCP will be merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity in the Merger. Following the Merger, also pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Subsequent Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving entity in the Subsequent Merger. Simultaneously with the Subsequent Merger, also pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CCPLP will be merged with and into the Operating Partnership (the “Partnership Merger”), with the Operating Partnership continuing as the surviving entity in the Partnership Merger.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of CCP common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares of CCP common stock owned directly by CCP, the Company or their respective subsidiaries, in each case not held on behalf of third parties) will be converted into the right to receive 1.123 (the “Exchange Ratio”) newly issued shares of Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

The parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of CCP common stock entitled to vote at a special meeting of the CCP stockholders held for that purpose, (ii) the approval of the issuance of Company common stock in connection with the Merger by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Company common stock at a special meeting of the Company stockholders held for that purpose, (iii) the shares of Company common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger will have been approved for listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, subject to official notice of issuance, (iv) the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by the Company for purposes of registering the issuance of shares of Company common stock issuable in connection with the Merger shall not be the subject of any stop order, (v) the Company and CCP each having received certain tax opinions and (vi) the absence of any order or injunction preventing the consummation of the Merger or any material law rendering the consummation of the Merger illegal. On July 7, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared the Company's registration statement on Form S-4 effective and a special meeting of the Company's stockholders is scheduled to be held on August 15, 2017.

The Company, Merger Sub and CCP have made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and agreed to certain customary covenants, including, among others, covenants by each party to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger.

Table of Contents

The closing of the Merger is expected to occur during the third calendar quarter of 2017, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. There can be no assurance that all closing conditions will be satisfied or waived by the parties, that the Merger will close on during the third calendar quarter of 2017 or that the Merger will be consummated at all.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sabra and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 (“ASC”) 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 condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for financial statements.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 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 June 30, 2017, the Company determined it was the primary beneficiary of one variable interest entity—a senior housing facility—and has consolidated the operations of this facility in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2017, the Company determined that operations of this entity were not material to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

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 if 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 June 30, 2017, none of the Company's investments in loans are 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 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, the sole

Table of Contents

general partner increases or decreases its ownership of limited partnership interests, or there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding limited partnership interests. The Company also applies this guidance to managing member interests in limited liability companies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

Between May 2014 and May 2016, the FASB issued three Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) changing the requirements for recognizing and reporting revenue (together, herein referred to as the “Revenue ASUs”): (i) ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), (ii) ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”) and (iii) ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2016-08 is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU 2016-12 provides practical expedients and improvements on the previously narrow scope of ASU 2014-09. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2017. All subsequent ASUs related to ASU 2014-09, including ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-12, assumed the deferred effective date enforced by ASU 2015-14. Early adoption of the Revenue ASUs is permitted for annual periods, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2016. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in the Revenue ASUs using either a modified retrospective approach, by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or full retrospective approach. The Company has not yet elected a transition method and is evaluating the complete impact of the adoption of the Revenue ASUs on January 1, 2018 to its consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures. The Company expects to complete its evaluation of the impacts of the Revenue ASUs during the second half of 2017. As the primary source of revenue for the Company is generated through leasing arrangements, which are excluded from the Revenue ASUs, the Company expects that the impact of the Revenue ASUs to the Company will be limited to the recognition of non-lease revenue, such as certain resident fees in its Managed Properties structures (a portion of which are not generated through leasing arrangements) and therefore are not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 supersedes guidance related to accounting for leases. ASU 2016-02 updates guidance around the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The objective of ASU 2016-02 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. ASU 2016-02 does not fundamentally change lessor accounting; however, some changes have been made to lessor accounting to conform and align that guidance with the lessee guidance and other areas within GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements when adopted.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the definition of a business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of businesses. When substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. To be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. To be a business without outputs, there will now need to be an organized workforce. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 on October 1, 2016 on a prospective basis. The Company expects that the majority of its future acquisitions of real estate will be accounted for as asset acquisitions under the new guidance. This adoption will impact how the Company accounts for acquisition pursuit costs and contingent consideration which may result in lower expensed acquisition pursuit costs and eliminate fair value adjustments related to future contingent consideration arrangements.

Table of Contents

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock compensation (Topic 718): Scope of modification accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 clarifies and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. RECENT REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS

⁽¹⁾During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company transitioned nine senior housing facilities into a managed property structure whereby the Company owns the operations of the facilities and the facilities are operated by a third-party property manager.

Contingent Consideration Arrangements

In connection with three of its real estate acquisitions, the Company entered into contingent consideration arrangements pursuant to which it could be required to pay out additional amounts based on incremental value created through the improvement of operations of the applicable acquired facility (a contingent consideration liability). The estimated value of the contingent consideration liabilities at the time of purchase was $3.2 million. The contingent consideration amounts would be determined based on portfolio performance and the facility achieving certain performance hurdles during 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, one earn-out arrangement expired and resulted in a $0 payout and a second earn-out arrangement was terminated in connection with the transition of the eight senior housing facilities to Managed Properties. To determine the value of the remaining contingent consideration arrangement, the Company used significant inputs not observable in the market to estimate the contingent consideration, made assumptions regarding the probability of the facility achieving the incremental value and then applied an appropriate discount rate. As of June 30, 2017, based on the performance of this facility, the contingent consideration liability had an estimated value of $0. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company made no adjustment to the contingent consideration liability. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company

Table of Contents

recorded an adjustment to decrease the contingent consideration liability by $0.8 million and included this amount in other income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Operating Leases

As of June 30, 2017, nearly all of the Company’s real estate properties (excluding 11 Managed Properties) were leased under triple-net operating leases with expirations ranging from three to 15 years. As of June 30, 2017, the leases had a weighted-average remaining term of nine years. The leases 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. In addition, 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 in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $2.0 million as of June 30, 2017 and $2.7 million as of December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had a $3.3 million reserve for unpaid cash rents and a $2.2 million reserve associated with accumulated straight-line rental income. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a $3.2 million reserve for unpaid cash rents and a $3.7 million reserve associated with accumulated straight-line rental income.

The following table provides information regarding significant tenant relationships as of June 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):



		Three Months Ended June 30, 2017				Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

The Company has entered into memoranda of understanding with Genesis to market for sale 35 skilled nursing facilities and the Company has made certain other lease and corporate guarantee amendments for the remaining 43 facilities leased to Genesis. As of June 30, 2017, the Company completed the sale of one of these facilities and subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company completed the sale of one additional facility. Marketing of the remaining 33 facilities is ongoing and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2017; provided, however that there can be no assurances that the Company will successfully complete these sales on the terms or timing contemplated by the memoranda of understanding, or at all.

The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its tenants by reviewing credit ratings (if available) and evaluating the ability of the tenants to meet their lease obligations to the Company based on the tenants’ financial performance, including the evaluation of any parent guarantees (or the guarantees of other related parties) of tenant lease obligations. Because formal credit ratings may not be available for most of the Company’s tenants, the primary basis for the Company’s evaluation of the credit quality of its tenants (and more specifically the tenants’ ability to pay their rent obligations to the Company) is the tenants’ lease coverage ratios or 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 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 tenants’ ability to generate sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, including its obligation to continue to pay the rent due to the Company.

5. DISPOSITIONS

2017 Dispositions

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company completed the sale of one skilled nursing/transitional care facility for aggregate consideration of $6.1 million. The net book value of this facility was $2.1 million, which resulted in a $4.0 million gain on sale.

2016 Dispositions

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company completed the sale of one skilled nursing/transitional care facility and one acute care hospital for aggregate consideration of $75.5 million after selling expenses of $2.2 million. The net carrying value of the assets and liabilities of these facilities, after the impairment loss of $29.8 million recognized in relation to the acute care hospital, was $80.1 million, resulting in an aggregate $4.7 million loss on sale.

Excluding the net gain and loss on the sales of the dispositions made during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $0.1 million of net income and $1.1 million of net loss from these facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The sale of these facilities do 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.

The 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) were issued by the Operating Partnership and Sabra Capital Corporation, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Issuers”). The 2021 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.5% per annum payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year and the 2023 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.375% per annum payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

The obligations under the Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by Sabra and certain of Sabra’s other existing and, subject to certain exceptions, future material subsidiaries; provided, however, that such guarantees are subject to release under certain customary circumstances. See Note 12, “Summarized Condensed Consolidating Information” for additional information concerning the circumstances pursuant to which the guarantors will be automatically and unconditionally released from their obligations under the guarantees.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes Indentures”) include customary events of default and require the Company to comply with specified restrictive covenants. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Senior Notes Indentures.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

On January 14, 2016, the Operating Partnership and Sabra Canadian Holdings, LLC (together, the “Borrowers”) entered into a third amended and restated unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).

The Credit Facility includes a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar term loans (collectively, the “Term Loans”). The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity of $500.0 million and, in addition, increases the Company's U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar term loans to $245.0 million and CAD $125.0 million, respectively. Further, up to $125.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for borrowings in certain foreign currencies. The Credit Facility also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $1.25 billion, subject to terms and conditions. In addition, the Canadian dollar term loan was re-designated as a net investment hedge (see Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments” for further information).

The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of January 14, 2020, and includes two six-month extension options. The Term Loans have a maturity date of January 14, 2021.

As of June 30, 2017, there was $32.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $468.0 million available for borrowing.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Operating Partnership's option, 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 applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, and will range from 1.80% to 2.40% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 0.80% to 1.40% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. As of June 30, 2017, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.22%. In addition, the Operating Partnership pays an unused facility fee to the lenders equal to 0.25% or 0.30% per annum, which is determined by usage under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The U.S. dollar term loan bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Operating Partnership’s option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) the Base Rate. The applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, and will range from 1.75% to 2.35% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 0.75% to 1.35% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. The Canadian dollar

Table of Contents

term loan bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to the Canadian Dollar Offer Rate (“CDOR”) plus 1.75% to 2.35% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio.

On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the CDOR portion of the interest rate for this CAD $90.0 million term loan at 1.59%. In addition, CAD $90.0 million of the Canadian dollar term loan was designated as a net investment hedge (see Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments” for further information). On August 10, 2016, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate for its $245.0 million U.S. dollar term loan at 0.90% and one interest rate swap agreement to fix the CDOR portion on CAD $35.0 million of its Canadian dollar term loan at 0.93%.

In the event that Sabra achieves investment grade ratings from at least two of S&P, Moody’s and/or Fitch, the Operating Partnership can elect to reduce the applicable percentage for LIBOR or Base Rate borrowings. If the Operating Partnership makes this election, the applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Debt Ratings at each Pricing Level, as defined in the credit agreement, and will range from 0.90% to 1.70% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, 1.00% to 1.95% per annum for LIBOR or CDOR based borrowings under the Term Loans, 0.00% to 0.70% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate under the Revolving Credit Facility, and 0.00% to 0.95% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate under the U.S. dollar term loan. In addition, should the Operating Partnership elect this option, the unused fee will no longer apply and a facility fee ranging between 0.125% and 0.300% per annum will take effect based on the borrowing capacity regardless of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by Sabra and certain subsidiaries of Sabra.

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants that include restrictions or limitations on the ability to make acquisitions and other investments, pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, engage in non-healthcare related business activities, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or otherwise transfer certain assets as well as customary events of default. The Credit Facility also requires Sabra, through the Operating Partnership, to comply with specified financial covenants, which include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

Interest Expense

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred interest expense of $15.9 million and $31.7 million, respectively, and $16.4 million and $33.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Interest expense includes financing costs amortization of $1.3 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $1.3 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

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 as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Approximately $2.9 million of losses, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, as of June 30, 2017, are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months. In 2016 the Company terminated its interest rate cap, generating cash proceeds of $0.3 million. The balance of the loss in other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings through 2019.

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.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company's derivatives were all 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had no derivatives with a fair value in a net liability position.

9. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

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,

Table of Contents

accrued liabilities and the Credit Facility 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 in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost and not at fair value. The fair value of the loans receivable were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected cash flows for the loans receivable, the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 3.

Preferred equity investments: These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their cost and not at fair value. The fair value of the preferred equity investments were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected future cash flows for the preferred equity investment, the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements. 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the fair value of derivative instruments, including its interest rate swap and cross currency swaps, using the assistance of a third party using inputs that are observable in the market, which includes 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 in the accompanying condensed 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.

Mortgage indebtedness: These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed 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 Company’s mortgage notes payable 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. 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value (in thousands):



	June 30, 2017						December 31, 2016

⁽¹⁾Carrying amounts represent the book value of financial instruments, including unamortized premiums (discounts), but excluding related reserves.

⁽²⁾ Face value represents amounts contractually due under the terms of the respective agreements.

The Company determined the fair value of financial instruments as of June 30, 2017 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value with valuation methods utilizing the following types of inputs (in thousands):



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

Financial liabilities:
Senior Notes	724,375		—		724,375		—
Mortgage indebtedness	148,890		—		—		148,890

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. Despite increased capital market and credit market activity, transaction volume for certain financial instruments remains relatively low. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of fair value at a future date could be materially different.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded the following amounts measured at fair value (in thousands):

The Company entered into contingent consideration arrangements as a result of three acquisitions of real estate (see Note 4, “Real Estate Properties Held for Investment”). During the six months ended June 30, 2017, one earn-out arrangement expired and resulted in a $0 payout and a second earn-out arrangement was terminated in connection with the transition of the eight senior housing facilities to Managed Properties. In order to determine the fair value of the Company’s remaining contingent consideration arrangements the Company used significant inputs not observable in the market to estimate the contingent consideration. The Company used financial information provided by the facility to estimate the possible payout. As of June 30, 2017, the total contingent consideration liability had an estimated value of $0.

The following reconciliation provides the details of activity for contingent consideration liability recorded at fair value using Level 3 inputs (in thousands):



Balance as of December 31, 2016	$	818

Balance as of June 30, 2017	$	—

A corresponding amount equal to the decrease in the contingent consideration liability was included as other income on the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2017. No adjustment was made during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

10. EQUITY

Preferred Stock

On March 21, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 5.8 million shares of 7.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at a price of $25.00 per share, pursuant to an effective registration statement. The Company received net proceeds of $138.3 million from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. The Company classified the par value as preferred equity on its condensed consolidated balance sheets with the balance of the liquidation preference, net of any issuance costs, recorded as an increase in paid-in capital.

The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock rank senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its affairs. At June 30, 2017, there were no dividends in arrears.

The Series A Preferred Stock does not have a stated maturity date, but the Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock on or after March 21, 2018, for $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock prior to March 21, 2018, in limited circumstances to preserve its status as a REIT or pursuant to a specified change of control. Upon the occurrence of a specified change of control (which would not include the pending Merger transaction), each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to convert some or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equivalent to $25.00 plus accrued and unpaid dividends, but not to exceed a cap of 1.7864 shares of common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock (subject to certain adjustments).

Common Stock

The following table lists the cash dividends on common stock declared and paid by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2017:



Declaration Date	Record Date	Amount Per Share		Dividend Payable Date
February 3, 2017	February 15, 2017	$	0.42	February 28, 2017

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 0.1 million shares of common stock as a result of restricted stock unit vestings and in connection with amounts payable under the Company's 2016 Bonus Plan pursuant to an election by certain participants to receive their bonus in the form of an equity award.

Upon any payment of shares as a result of restricted stock unit vestings, the participant is required to satisfy the related tax withholding obligation. The 2009 Performance Incentive Plan provides that the Company has the right at its option to (a) require the participant to pay such tax withholding or (b) reduce the number of shares to be delivered by a number of shares necessary to satisfy the related minimum applicable statutory tax withholding obligation. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, pursuant to advance elections made by certain participants, the Company incurred $2.6 million in tax withholding obligations on behalf of its employees that were satisfied through a reduction in the number of shares delivered to those participants.

12. SUMMARIZED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION

In connection with the offerings of the Senior Notes by the Issuers, the Company and certain 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Senior Notes, subject to release under certain customary circumstances as described below. These guarantees are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt and senior guarantees of the Guarantors and are unsecured. The Company conducts all of its business through and derives virtually all of its income from its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company’s ability to make required payments with respect to its indebtedness (including the Senior Notes) and other obligations depends on the financial results and condition of its subsidiaries and its ability to receive funds from its subsidiaries.

A Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the guarantees with respect to the Senior Notes in the event of:


•	Any sale of the subsidiary Guarantor or of all or substantially all of its assets;


•	A merger or consolidation of a subsidiary Guarantor with an issuer of the Senior Notes or another Guarantor, provided that the surviving entity remains a Guarantor;


•	A subsidiary Guarantor is declared “unrestricted” for covenant purposes under the Senior Notes Indentures;


•	The requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the Senior Notes Indentures have been satisfied;


•	A liquidation or dissolution, to the extent permitted under the Senior Notes Indentures, of a subsidiary Guarantor; and


•	The release or discharge of the guaranty that resulted in the creation of the subsidiary guaranty, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guaranty.

Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the following summarized condensed consolidating information is provided for the Company (the “Parent Company”), the Issuers, the Guarantors, and the Company’s non-Guarantor subsidiaries with respect to the Senior Notes. This summarized financial information has been prepared from the books and records maintained by the Company, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the non-Guarantor subsidiaries. The summarized financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the Issuers, the Guarantors or non-Guarantor subsidiaries operated as independent entities. Sabra’s investments in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented based upon Sabra's proportionate share of each subsidiary's net assets. The Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in the non-Guarantor subsidiaries and non-Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in Guarantor subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. Intercompany activities between subsidiaries and the Parent Company are presented within operating activities on the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows.

Condensed consolidating financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Parent Company only, the Issuers, the combined Guarantor subsidiaries and the combined non-Guarantor subsidiaries, are as follows:

13. 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 June 30, 2017, 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 is 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.

In addition, subsequent to its entry into the Merger Agreement, the Company, the Operating Partnership and Merger Sub were named, in addition to CCP and each member of CCP’s board of directors (collectively, “CCP Defendants”), in two putative class action lawsuits (Loeb v. Care Capital Properties, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:17-cv-00866-UNA (D. Del. June 30, 2017), and Klein v. Care Capital Properties, Inc., et al., Case No 1:99-mc-09999 (D. Del. July 10, 2017)) filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Four other related actions have been filed against only the CCP Defendants, three in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Gordon v. Care Capital Properties, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:17-cv-00859-LPS; Vineyard v. Care Capital Properties, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:17-cv-00878-LPS; and Parrish v. Care Capital Properties, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:17-cv-00909-LPS) and one in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Douglas v. Care Capital Properties, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:17-cv-04942). The lawsuits all seek to recover under federal securities laws on the basis that the joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC purportedly omitted to disclose information necessary to make the statements therein not materially false or misleading. The lawsuits seek, among other things, an injunction of the Merger; dissemination of a revised registration statement; declarations that the registration statement violated federal securities laws; damages, including rescissory damages; and an award of costs and attorneys’ fees. On July 25, 2017, the five actions filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware were consolidated under the lead-case caption In re Care Capital Properties, Inc. Shareholder Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:17-cv-00859-LPS. The lawsuits are in a preliminary stage. The Company believes that these actions are without merit.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Dividend Declaration

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, on August 2, 2017, the Company announced that its board of directors declared a prorated quarterly cash dividend of $0.3598913 per share of common stock, assuming the closing of the Merger occurs on August 17, 2017. The dividend will be paid on August 18, 2017 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 16, 2017. If the closing of the Merger occurs later than August 17, 2017, then the record date will be revised to be the last business day prior to the closing date, the amount of the dividend will be increased by $0.0046739 per share per calendar day that the record date occurs later than August 16, 2017, and the dividend will be paid on the earliest practicable date thereafter.

On August 2, 2017, the Company also announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4453125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend will be paid on August 31, 2017 to preferred stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 16, 2017.

Credit Facility

On July 28, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries irrevocably delivered into escrow, along with the other parties thereto, their respective signature pages to the form of a fourth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement (the

Table of Contents

“Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement is conditioned on and expected to become effective concurrent with the closing of the Company's pending merger transaction with CCP. When it becomes effective, the Amended Credit Agreement will amend and restate the current Credit Facility. The Amended Credit Agreement includes a revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion, U.S. dollar term loans of $1.1 billion and a Canadian dollar term loan of CAD $125 million. The revolving credit facility has a maturity date of the fourth anniversary of the effective date of the Amended Credit Agreement, and includes two six-month extension options. $200 million of the U.S. dollar term loans matures on the third anniversary of the effective date and the remaining $900 million of U.S. dollar term loans and the Canadian dollar term loan mature on the fifth anniversary of the effective date. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $2.5 billion (an increase from $1.25 billion in the current Credit Facility), subject to standard accordion provisions.

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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this 10-Q. Also see “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying condensed 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


•	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update


•	Results of Operations


•	Liquidity and Capital Resources


•	Concentration of Credit Risk


•	Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates


•	Obligations and Commitments


•	Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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 using triple-net operating leases. We primarily generate revenues by leasing properties to tenants and operators throughout the United States and Canada.

Our investment portfolio is primarily comprised of skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, senior housing facilities and an acute care hospital leased to third-party operators; senior housing facilities operated under third-party management agreements (“Managed Properties”); debt investments; and preferred equity investments.

Our objectives are to grow our investment portfolio while diversifying our portfolio by tenant, asset class and geography within the healthcare sector. We plan to achieve these objectives primarily through making investments directly or indirectly in healthcare real estate. We may also achieve our objective of diversifying our portfolio by tenant and asset class through select asset sales and other arrangements with Genesis and other tenants. We have entered into memoranda of understanding with Genesis to market for sale 35 skilled nursing facilities and we have made certain other lease and corporate guarantee amendments for the remaining 43 facilities leased to Genesis. Upon completion of the sales, these asset sales and amendments will have the benefit of reducing our net operating income concentration in Genesis and skilled nursing facilities, as well as strengthening our remaining Genesis-operated portfolio through the lease term extensions and guarantee enhancements; provided, however that there can be no assurances that we will successfully complete these sales on the terms or timing contemplated by the memoranda of understanding, or at all, in which event we may not achieve the anticipated benefits from such sales. As of June 30, 2017, we completed the sale of one of these facilities and subsequent to June 30, 2017, we completed the sale of one additional facility. Marketing of the remaining 33 facilities is ongoing and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2017.

We expect to continue to grow our portfolio primarily through the acquisition of assisted living, independent living and memory care facilities in the U.S. and Canada and through the acquisition of skilled nursing/transitional care facilities in the U.S. We have and will continue to opportunistically acquire other types of healthcare real estate, originate financing secured directly or indirectly by healthcare facilities and invest in the development of senior housing and skilled nursing/transitional care facilities. We also expect to expand our portfolio through the development of purpose-built healthcare facilities through pipeline agreements and other arrangements with select developers. We further expect to work with existing operators to identify strategic development opportunities. These opportunities may involve replacing or renovating facilities in our portfolio that may have become less competitive and new development opportunities that present attractive risk-adjusted returns. In addition to pursuing acquisitions with triple-net leases, we expect to continue to pursue other forms of investment, including investments in Managed Properties, mezzanine and secured debt investments, and joint ventures for senior housing and skilled nursing/transitional care facilities.

Table of Contents

In general, we originate loans and make preferred equity investments when an attractive investment opportunity is presented and either (a) the property is in or near the development phase or (b) the development of the property is completed but the operations of the facility are not yet stabilized. A key component of our strategy related to loan originations and preferred equity investments is our having the option to purchase the underlying real estate that is owned by our borrowers (and that directly or indirectly secures our loan investments) or by the entity in which we have an investment. These options become exercisable upon the occurrence of various criteria, such as the passage of time or the achievement of certain operating goals, and the method to determine the purchase price upon exercise of the option is set in advance based on the same valuation methods we use to value our investments in healthcare real estate. This strategy allows us to diversify our revenue streams and build relationships with operators and developers, and provides us with the option to add new properties to our existing real estate portfolio if we determine that those properties enhance our investment portfolio and stockholder value at the time the options are exercisable.

We employ a disciplined, opportunistic 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”), in which we are the sole general partner and our wholly owned subsidiaries are currently the only limited partners, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

Pending Merger with CCP

The parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of CCP common stock entitled to vote at a special meeting of the CCP stockholders held for that purpose, (ii) the approval of the issuance of Company common stock in connection with the Merger by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Company common stock at a special meeting of the Company stockholders held for that purpose, (iii) the shares of Company common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger will have been approved for listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, subject to official notice of issuance, (iv) the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by the Company for purposes of registering the issuance of shares of Company common stock issuable in connection with the Merger shall not be the subject of any stop order, (v) the Company and CCP each having received certain tax opinions and (vi) the absence of any order or injunction preventing the consummation of the Merger or any material law rendering the consummation of the Merger illegal. On July 7, 2017, the SEC declared the Company's registration statement on Form S-4 effective and a special meeting of the Company's stockholders is scheduled to be held on August 15, 2017.

Table of Contents

The closing of the Merger is expected to occur during the third calendar quarter of 2017, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. There can be no assurance that all closing conditions will be satisfied or waived by the parties, that the Merger will close during the third calendar quarter of 2017 or that the Merger will be consummated at all.

Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we invested $14.5 million for the acquisition of one senior housing facility located in Texas. See Note 3, "Recent Real Estate Acquisitions," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this acquisition.

Dispositions

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we completed the sale of one skilled nursing/transitional care facility for aggregate consideration of $6.1 million. The net book value of this facility was $2.1 million, which resulted in a $4.0 million gain on sale. See Note 5, “Dispositions” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Managed Properties

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we terminated the lease of nine senior housing real estate investments in Canada and concurrently entered into a management agreement with Sienna Senior Living (“Sienna”), whereby we own the operations, through a wholly-owned foreign taxable REIT subsidiary, of the facilities and the facilities are operated by Sienna.

Credit Facility

On July 28, 2017, we and certain of our subsidiaries irrevocably delivered into escrow, along with the other parties thereto, our respective signature pages to the form of a fourth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”).The Amended Credit Agreement is conditioned on and expected to become effective concurrent with the closing of the pending merger transaction with CCP. When it becomes effective, the Amended Credit Agreement will replace the current Credit Facility. The Amended Credit Agreement includes a revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion, U.S. dollar term loans of $1.1 billion and a Canadian dollar term loan of CAD $125 million. The revolving credit facility has a maturity date of the fourth anniversary of the effective date of the Amended Credit Agreement, and includes two six-month extension options. $200 million of the U.S. dollar term loans matures on the third anniversary of the effective date and the remaining $900 million of U.S. dollar term loans and the Canadian dollar term loan mature on the fifth anniversary of the effective date. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $2.5 billion (an increase from $1.25 billion in the current Credit Facility), subject to terms and conditions.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Except as described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

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

Results of Operations

As of June 30, 2017, our investment portfolio included 183 real estate properties held for investment, eight investments in loans receivable and 12 preferred equity investments. As of June 30, 2016, our investment portfolio included 178 real estate properties held for investment, 14 investments in loans receivable and 11 preferred equity investments. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of owning acquired investments for an entire period, the anticipated future acquisition of additional investments and completion of the pending Merger transaction. The results of operations presented are not directly comparable due to ongoing acquisition activity.

Comparison of results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 versus the three months ended June 30, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Rental Income

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $55.9 million of rental income compared to $55.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The $0.6 million increase in rental income is primarily due to an increase of $3.7 million from properties acquired after April 1, 2016, offset by a decrease of $0.7 million from properties disposed of after April 1, 2016 and a decrease of $2.3 million due to the nine senior housing facilities that were transitioned to Managed Properties during the six months ended June 30, 2017. 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 June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income primarily consists of income earned on our loans receivable investments and preferred returns earned on our preferred equity investments. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $2.0 million of interest and other income compared to $17.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease of $15.0 million is primarily due to interest income recognized at the default rate and late fees related to our investment in the Forest Park - Fort Worth construction loan and the Forest Park - Dallas mortgage loan during the three months ended June 30, 2016. Both loans were repaid during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Resident Fees and Services

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $6.8 million of resident fees and services compared to $2.0

Table of Contents

million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase of $4.8 million is due to the nine senior housing facilities that were transitioned to Managed Properties during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Depreciation and Amortization

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred $17.2 million of depreciation and amortization expense compared to $16.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The $0.8 million net increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to an increase of $1.2 million from properties acquired after April 1, 2016, offset by a decrease of $0.2 million from properties disposed of after April 1, 2016.

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 June 30, 2017, we incurred $15.9 million of interest expense compared to $16.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The $0.5 million net decrease is primarily related to (i) a $0.5 million decrease in interest expense related to lower borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) a $0.2 million decrease in interest expense primarily due to the decreased average balance outstanding on mortgage note borrowings, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in amortization expense related to our interest rate hedges.

Operating Expenses

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $4.4 million of operating expenses compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase of $3.0 million is due to the nine senior housing facilities that were transitioned to Managed Properties during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses

Provision for Doubtful Accounts and Loan Losses

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $0.5 million in provision for doubtful accounts and loan losses. Of the $0.5 million provision, $0.2 million is due to an increase in loan loss reserves and $0.3 million is due to an increase in reserves on straight-line rental income. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized $0.2 million in provision for doubtful accounts. Of the $0.2 million provision, $0.6 million is due to an increase in general reserves on straight-line rental income, offset by a $0.4 million decrease in loan loss reserves.

Other Income

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $0.9 million of other income. The $0.9 million in other income is primarily due to the amortization of lease termination payments related to a memoranda of understanding entered into with Genesis regarding five Genesis facilities (of which two were owned as of June 30, 2017). During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized $2.4 million of other income due to a lease termination payment related to the same memoranda of understanding with Genesis.

Net Gain (Loss) on Sales of Real Estate

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a gain on the sale of real estate of $4.0 million related to the disposition of one skilled nursing/transitional care facility. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized a loss on the sale of real estate of $0.1 million related to the disposition of one acute care hospital. See Note 5, “Dispositions” for additional information.

Rental Income

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $113.1 million of rental income compared to $110.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $2.5 million increase in rental income is primarily due to an increase of $7.4 million from properties acquired after January 1, 2016, offset by a decrease of $1.4 million from properties disposed of after January 1, 2016 and a decrease of $3.0 million due to the nine senior housing facilities that were transitioned to Managed Properties during the six months ended June 30, 2017. 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 six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income primarily consists of income earned on our loans receivable investments and preferred dividends on our preferred equity investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $4.0 million of interest and other income compared to $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $18.4 million decrease is primarily due to interest income recognized at the default rate and late fees related to our investments in the Forest Park - Fort Worth construction loan and the Forest Park - Dallas mortgage loan during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Both loans were repaid during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $10.3 million of resident fees and services compared to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase of $6.4 million is primarily due to the nine senior housing facilities that were transitioned to Managed Properties during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Depreciation and Amortization

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred $36.4 million of depreciation and amortization expense

Table of Contents

compared to $34.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $2.2 million net increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to an increase of $2.2 million from properties acquired after January 1, 2016 as well as a $1.8 million increase due to the acceleration of the lease intangible amortization related to the nine senior housing facilities transitioned to Managed Properties, partially offset by a decrease of $1.8 million from properties disposed of after January 1, 2016.

Interest Expense

We incur interest expense comprised of costs of borrowings plus the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our indebtedness. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred $31.7 million of interest expense compared to $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $1.7 million net decrease is primarily related to (i) a $1.7 million decrease in interest expense related to the borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) a $0.5 million decrease in interest expense primarily due to the decreased average balance outstanding on mortgage note borrowings, offset by a $0.5 million increase in amortization expense related to our interest rate hedges.

Operating Expenses

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $6.8 million of operating expenses compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase of $4.0 million is primarily due to the nine senior housing facilities that were transitioned to Managed Properties during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include compensation-related expenses as well as professional services, office costs, and other costs associated with acquisition pursuit activities and asset management. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, general and administrative expenses were $18.0 million compared to $9.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $8.7 million increase is primarily related to a (i) a $6.3 million increase in expensed acquisition pursuit costs from $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $6.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the pending Merger transaction, (ii) a $1.3 million increase in legal and professional fees primarily due to the management of the increased number of investments, (iii) a $0.6 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and (iv) a $0.3 million increase in payroll expense primarily due to the increased number of employees. The increase in stock-based compensation expense, from $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $4.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, is primarily related to the change in our stock price during the six months ended June 30, 2017 (an increase of $3.46 per share) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016 (a decrease of $5.10 per share). We issue stock to employees who elected to receive annual bonuses in stock rather than in cash and therefore changes in our stock price will result in changes to our bonus expense. We expect acquisition pursuit costs to fluctuate from period to period depending on acquisition activity. We also expect stock-based compensation expense to fluctuate from period to period depending upon changes in our stock price and estimates associated with performance-based compensation.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts and Loan Losses

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $2.3 million in provision for doubtful accounts and loan losses. The $2.3 million provision is primarily due to a $1.9 million increase in loan loss reserves, a $0.3 million increase in general reserves on straight-line rental income and a $0.1 million increase in reserves on cash rental income. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized $2.7 million in provision for doubtful accounts and loan losses. Of the $2.7 million, $0.8 million is due to an increase in general reserves on straight-line rental income and $1.9 million is due to an increase in loan loss reserves.

Impairment of Real Estate

No impairment of real estate was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized $29.8 million of impairment of real estate related to the sale of the Forest Park - Frisco hospital.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

We did not recognize any loss on extinguishment of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2017. We recognized a $0.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2016 related to write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with amending the Revolving Credit Facility and Canadian term loan.

Other Income

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $3.1 million of other income. Of the $3.1 million in other

Table of Contents

income, $2.3 million is due to the amortization of lease termination payments related to a memorandum of understanding entered into with Genesis regarding five Genesis facilities (two of which are owned as of June 30, 2017) and $0.8 million relates to other income as a result of adjusting the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of a real estate property, partially offset by $0.1 million of ineffectiveness loss related to our LIBOR interest rate swaps. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized $2.4 million in other income due to a lease termination payment related to the same memoranda of understanding with Genesis.

Net Gain (Loss) on Sales of Real Estate

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a net gain on the sale of real estate of $4.0 million related to the disposition of one skilled nursing/transitional care facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized a net loss on the sales of real estate of $4.7 million. The $4.7 million net loss is due to the disposition of one skilled nursing facility and one acute care hospital. See Note 5, “Dispositions” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

We believe that net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”), as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and adjusted funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“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 uses 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 attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding straight-line rental income adjustments, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and expensed acquisition pursuit costs, as well as other non-cash revenue and expense items (including provisions and write-offs related to straight-line rental income, provision for loan losses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, amortization of debt premiums/discounts and non-cash interest income adjustments). 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 attributable to common stockholders 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 and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, to net income attributable to common stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same periods (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

⁽¹⁾On October 1, 2016, we early-adopted ASU 2017-01, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as business acquisitions. All real estate acquisitions completed subsequent to October 1, 2016 were considered asset acquisitions and we have capitalized acquisition pursuit costs associated with these acquisitions, including those costs incurred prior to October 1, 2016. Acquisitions completed prior to October 1, 2016 were deemed business combinations and the related acquisition pursuit costs were expensed as incurred. Acquisition costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily relate to the pending Merger transaction.

⁽²⁾Other non-cash adjustments include amortization of debt premiums/discounts, non-cash interest income adjustments and amortization expense related to our interest rate hedges.

Set forth below is additional information related to certain other items included in net income attributable to common stockholders above, which may be helpful in assessing our operating results. Please see the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for details of our operating, investing, and financing cash activities.

Significant Items Included in FFO and AFFO Attributable to Common Stockholders:

•

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $0.9 million and $3.1 million of other income, respectively. Other income includes $0.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to the amortization of lease termination payments related to a memorandum of understanding entered into with Genesis regarding five Genesis facilities (of which two were owned as of June 30, 2017). Other income also includes $0.8 million related to decreasing the value of our contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of a senior housing facility, which decrease was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2017. These amounts in their entirety are included in FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, and $1.1 million and $2.4 million is included in AFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

•

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $0.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in provision for doubtful accounts. General reserves on straight-line rental income increased by $0.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and reserves for loan losses increased by $0.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. These amounts in their entirety are included in FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and $0.4 million is included in AFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2017, we had approximately $481.0 million in liquidity, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $13.0 million (excluding joint venture cash and cash equivalents), and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility of $468.0 million. The Credit Facility also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $1.25 billion (from U.S. $745.0 million plus CAD $125.0 million), subject to terms and conditions.

We have filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC that expires in January 2020, which will allow 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.

We believe that our available cash, operating cash flows and borrowings available to us under the Revolving Credit Facility provide sufficient funds for our operations, scheduled debt service payments with respect to our Senior Notes, mortgage indebtedness on our properties, and dividend requirements for the next twelve months. In addition, we do not believe that the restrictions under our Senior Notes Indentures significantly limit our ability to use our available liquidity for these purposes.

We intend to invest in additional healthcare properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of financing are available. We expect that future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly-acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed, in whole or in part, by our existing cash, borrowings available to us under our Revolving Credit Facility, future borrowings or the proceeds from issuances of common stock, preferred stock, debt or other securities. In addition, we may seek financing from U.S. government agencies, including through Fannie Mae and HUD, in appropriate circumstances in connection with acquisitions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $53.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Operating cash inflows were derived primarily from the rental payments received under our lease agreements and interest payments from borrowers under our loan investments. Operating cash outflows consisted primarily of interest on borrowings and payment of general and administrative expenses, including expensed acquisition pursuit costs primarily related to the pending Merger transaction and corporate overhead.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was $6.3 million and consisted of $14.5 million used in the acquisition of one senior housing facility, $0.9 million used to provide additional funding for existing loans receivable, $0.1 million used to fund existing preferred equity investments and $1.3 million used for tenant improvements, partially offset by $6.1 million in sales proceeds related to the disposition of one skilled nursing/transitional care facility, $1.5 million in repayments of loans receivable and $2.8 million in repayments of preferred equity investments.

Table of Contents

We expect to continue using available liquidity in connection with anticipated future real estate investments, loan originations and preferred equity investments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash used in financing activities was $60.1 million and consisted of $60.7 million of dividends paid to stockholders, $2.0 million of principal repayments of mortgage notes payable, $0.1 million of payments for deferred financing costs primarily associated with the Credit Facility and $3.2 million of payroll tax payments related to the issuance of common stock pursuant to equity compensation arrangements. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, we borrowed a net amount of $6.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility.

Loan Agreements

2021 Notes. On January 23, 2014, the Operating Partnership and Sabra Capital Corporation, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Issuers”), issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the “Existing 2021 Notes”), providing net proceeds of approximately $340.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. On October 10, 2014, the Issuers issued an additional $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (together with the Existing 2021 Notes, the “2021 Notes”), providing net proceeds of approximately $145.6 million (not including pre-issuance accrued interest), after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses and a yield-to-maturity of 5.593%.

2023 Notes. On May 23, 2013, the Issuers issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes” and, together with the 2021 Notes, the “Senior Notes”), providing net proceeds of approximately $194.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.

See Note 7, “Debt,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes, including information regarding the indentures governing the Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes Indentures”). As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Senior Notes Indentures.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans. On January 14, 2016, the Borrowers entered into a third amended and restated Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility includes a Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loans. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity of $500.0 million and, in addition, increases our U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar term loans to $245.0 million and CAD $125.0 million, respectively. Further, up to $125.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for borrowings in certain foreign currencies. The Credit Facility also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $1.25 billion, subject to terms and conditions.

The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries.

See Note 7, “Debt,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the Credit Facility, including information regarding covenants contained in the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Facility.

Mortgage Indebtedness

Of our 183 properties held for investment, 20 are subject to mortgage indebtedness to third parties that, as of June 30, 2017, totaled approximately $162.2 million. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our mortgage notes payable consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

Capital Expenditures

There were $1.3 million and $0.9 million of capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include $12,000 and $0.1 million, respectively, of capital expenditures for corporate office needs. There are no present plans for the improvement or development of any unimproved or undeveloped property; however, from time to time we may agree to fund improvements our tenants make at our facilities. Accordingly, we anticipate that our aggregate capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months will not exceed $7.0 million, and that such expenditures will principally be for improvements to our facilities and result in incremental rental income.

Dividends

We paid dividends of $60.7 million on our common and preferred stock during the six months ended June 30, 2017. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, on August 2, 2017, our board of directors declared a prorated quarterly cash dividend of $0.3598913 per share of common stock, assuming the closing of the Merger occurs on August 17, 2017. The dividend will be paid on August 18, 2017 to common stockholders of record as of August 16, 2017. If the closing of the Merger occurs later than August 17, 2017, then the record date will be revised to be the last business day prior to the closing date, the amount of the dividend will be increased by $0.0046739 per share per calendar day that the record date occurs later than August 16, 2017, and the dividend will be paid on the earliest practicable date thereafter. Also on August 2, 2017, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4453125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend will be paid on August 31, 2017 to preferred stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 16, 2017.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risks 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 183 real estate properties held for investment as of June 30, 2017 is diversified by location across the United States and Canada.

The following table provides information regarding significant tenant relationships as of June 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

NMS Healthcare	5	7,505		11.6		15,010		11.8

Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates

A portion of our revenue is 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. The amount to be paid is determined by classifying each patient into one of 66 Resource Utilization Group (“RUG”) categories that represent the level of services required to treat different conditions and levels of acuity.

The current 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, 2017, CMS released final fiscal year 2018 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities providing an estimated net increase of 1.0% over fiscal year 2017 payments. The new payment rates become effective on October 1, 2017. In its final rule, CMS also revised and rebased the market basket index by updating the base year from fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2014.

Table of Contents

On July 29, 2016, CMS released final fiscal year 2017 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities providing a net increase of 2.4% over fiscal year 2016 payments (comprised of a market basket increase of 2.7% less the productivity adjustment of 0.3%). The new payment rates became effective on October 1, 2016.

On November 16, 2015, CMS finalized the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement model, which began April 1, 2016, which will hold hospitals accountable for the quality of care they deliver to Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries for hip and knee replacements and/or other major leg procedures from surgery through recovery. Through this payment model, hospitals in 67 geographic areas will receive additional payments if quality and spending performance are strong or, if not, potentially have to repay Medicare for a portion of the spending for care surrounding a lower extremity joint replacement (LEJR) procedure. As a result, Medicare revenues derived at skilled nursing facilities related to lower extremity joint replacement hospital discharges could be positively or negatively impacted in those geographic areas identified by CMS for mandatory participation in the bundled payment program.

Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments in future years, including our Senior Notes, our Revolving Credit Facility, our Term Loans and our mortgage indebtedness to third parties on certain of our properties. The following table is presented as of June 30, 2017 (in thousands):

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risks, primarily related to adverse changes in interest rates and the exchange rate for Canadian dollars. We use derivative instruments in the normal course of business to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. See Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our derivative instruments.

Interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2017, our indebtedness included $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding, $162.2 million of mortgage indebtedness to third parties on certain of the properties that our subsidiaries own, $341.3 million in Term Loans and $32.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2017, we had $373.3 million of outstanding variable rate indebtedness. In addition, as of June 30, 2017, we had $468.0 million available for borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility.

We expect to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rates for our indebtedness. We also may manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings through interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2017, we had two interest rate swaps that fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate for the LIBOR-based borrowings under the $245.0 million U.S. dollar term loan at 0.90% and two interest rate swaps that fix the CDOR portion of the interest rate for CAD $90.0 million and CAD $35.0 million of CDOR-based borrowings at 1.59% and 0.93%, respectively.

From time to time, we may borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility to finance future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly acquired properties, or for other purposes. Because borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at our option, 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 interest rate we will be required to pay on any such borrowings will depend on then applicable rates and may vary. An increase in interest rates could make the financing of any investment by us more costly. Rising interest rates could also limit our ability to refinance our debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness.

Assuming a 100 basis point increase/decrease in the interest rate related to our variable rate debt and after giving effect to the impact of interest rate swap derivative instruments, interest expense would increase/decrease by $0.3 million for the twelve months following June 30, 2017.

Foreign currency risk. We are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates as a result of our investments in Canadian real estate. Our foreign currency exposure is partially mitigated through the use of Canadian dollar denominated debt totaling CAD $147.9 million and cross currency swap instruments. Based on our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2017, if the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar were to increase or decrease by 10% compared to the average exchange rate during the three months ended June 30, 2017, our cash flows would have decreased or increased, as applicable, by $0.1 million.
