The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company has deposits in banks that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. Management believes that credit risk related to these deposits is minimal. Restricted cash consists of reserve accounts for property insurance, real estate taxes, capital expenditures, derivatives, and debt service required by certain loan agreements. In addition, restricted cash includes deposits required by certain counterparties as collateral pursuant to letters of credit which must remain so long as the letters of credit are outstanding, which are subject to renewal annually.

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment to determine if facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired or that the depreciation period may need to be changed. The Company considers internal factors such as net operating losses along with external factors relating to each asset, including contract changes, local market developments, and other publicly available information to determine whether impairment indicators exist.

If an indicator of impairment is identified, recoverability of an asset group is assessed by comparing its carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group through operation or disposition, calculated utilizing the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If this comparison indicates that the carrying amount of an asset group is not recoverable, the Company estimates fair value of the asset group and records an impairment loss when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. The Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $12.5 million to its “Property and equipment, net” during the year ended December 31, 2025, which related to four owned communities, one of which is a community held for sale. See “Note 4 –Investments, Acquisitions and Assets Held for Sale.” There were no impairments on long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

In evaluating our long-lived assets for impairment, we undergo continuous evaluations of property-level performance and real estate trends, and management makes several estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition, estimated sales price, and future cash flows of each property during our estimated holding period. If our analysis or assumptions regarding the projected cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of our properties

Disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell, and depreciation and amortization cease. The Company reassesses assets classified as held for sale each reporting period to ensure they continue to meet the held-for-sale criteria and are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair value less estimated disposal costs. Fair values are typically estimated using market analysis, industry trends, and recent comparable sales. See “Note 4 –Investments, Acquisitions and Assets Held for Sale.”

We determine if a contract contains a lease at its inception based on whether or not the Company has the right to control the asset during the contract period and other facts and circumstances. We are the lessee in a lease contract when we obtain the right to control the asset. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and are included in other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease and are included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. When determining the lease term, we include renewal or termination options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. As the rates implicit in our leases are not readily determinable, we use our local incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. When our contracts contain lease and non-lease components, we account for both components as a single lease component.

We make certain judgments to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition. These judgments include the assessment of the inputs, processes, and outputs associated with an acquired set of activities and whether the fair value of total assets acquired is concentrated to a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets. We account for a transaction as a business combination when the assets acquired include inputs and one or more substantive processes that, together, significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs and the total fair value of the assets acquired are not concentrated to a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets. Otherwise, we account for the transaction as an asset acquisition.

Upon the acquisition of new communities accounted for as an acquisition of assets, we recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, measured at their relative fair values using Level 3 inputs at the date of acquisition including replacement costs and market data, as well as Level 3 inputs including estimates of appropriate discount rates and capitalization rate once we have determined the fair value of each of these assets and liabilities. Relative fair values may be based on appraisals, internal analyses of recently acquired and existing comparable properties in the Company’s portfolio, other market data, and internal marketing and leasing activities. The acquisition date is the date on which we obtain control of the real estate property. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed consist of land, inclusive of associated rights, buildings, assumed debt, and identified intangible assets and liabilities. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the net present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) Sonida’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place lease measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable terms of the leases (including the below-market fixed-rate renewal period, if applicable). Favorable above-market in-place leases represent the value of the contractual monthly rental payments that are more than the current market rent at communities as acquired in recent acquisitions. Unfavorable below-market in-place leases represent the value of the contractual monthly rental payments that are less than the current market rent at communities as acquired in recent acquisitions. Above-market and below-market in-place leases are amortized to resident revenue on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining lease terms, and are included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, acquired in-place lease intangibles represent market estimates to lease up the property based on leases in place at the time of acquisitions. These in-place lease intangibles are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense on a

For the Company’s real estate acquisitions that are accounted for as business combinations, the Company allocates the acquisition consideration (excluding acquisition costs) to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the consideration transferred relative to the fair value of the net assets acquired is accounted for as goodwill. Acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred. The fair values are determined using standard valuation methodologies, such as the cost, market, and income approach. These methodologies require various assumptions, including those of a market participant.

The Company has the option (i) to assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or (ii) to perform the quantitative impairment test. The quantitative impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its respective book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

The Company reports investments in unconsolidated entities that it has the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. The initial carrying amount of investments in unconsolidated entities is based on the amount paid to purchase the investment. The Company's reported share of earnings from an unconsolidated entity is adjusted for the impact, if any, of basis differences between its carrying amount of the equity investment and its share of the investment’s underlying assets. Distributions received from an investee are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

The Company evaluates the realization of its investments in ventures accounted for using the equity method if circumstances indicate that the Company's investments are other than temporarily impaired. A current fair value of an investment that is less than its carrying amount may indicate a loss in value of the investment. If the Company determines that an equity method investment is other than temporarily impaired, it is recorded at its fair value with an impairment charge recognized for the difference between its carrying amount and fair value.

Resident revenue consists of fees for basic housing and certain support services and fees associated with additional housing and expanded support requirements such as assisted living care, memory care, and ancillary services. Basic housing and certain support services revenue is recorded when services are rendered, and amounts billed are due from residents in the period in which the rental and other services are provided. Residency agreements are generally short term in nature with durations of one year or less and are typically terminable by either party, under certain circumstances, upon 30 days’ notice, unless state law provides otherwise, with resident fees billed monthly in advance. Revenue for certain ancillary services is recognized as services are provided, and includes fees for services such as medication management, daily living activities, beautician/barber, laundry, television, guest meals, pets, and parking, which are generally billed monthly in arrears.

The Company’s senior housing communities have residency agreements that generally require the resident to pay a community fee and other amounts prior to moving into the community, which are initially recorded by the Company as deferred income. Community fees are recognized evenly over the term of the residency agreements, which are generally 12 months. The Company had contract liabilities for deferred fees paid by its residents prior to the month housing and support services were to be provided totaling $13.1 million and $7.3 million, respectively, which is reported as deferred income within current liabilities of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, $6.7 million of deferred revenue has been recognized from the year ended December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, $4.9 million of deferred revenue was recognized from the year ended December 31, 2024.

Laws and regulations governing the Medicaid program are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing that would have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements. While no such regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from the Medicaid program.

The Company has management agreements whereby it manages certain communities on behalf of third-party owners and certain community investments under contracts that provide for periodic management fee payments to the Company. The Company has determined that all community management activities are a single performance obligation, which is satisfied over time as the services are rendered. Such revenue is included in “management fee income” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company is also reimbursed by the owners of the communities for costs incurred. Such revenue is included in “managed community reimbursement revenue” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The related costs are included in “managed community reimbursement expense” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. See “Note 10 –Revenue.”

Rental income and related revenues for operating leases are recognized based on the assessment of collectability of lease payments. When collectability is probable at commencement of the lease, lease income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes rental income that is recorded on the straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Collectability is reassessed during the lease term. When collectability of lease payments is no longer probable, lease income is recorded on a cash basis and limited to the amount of lease payments collected. In addition, lease related costs (the deferred rent from prior GAAP straight-line adjustments, unamortized lease costs and other lease related intangibles) are written-off when the Company determines that these assets are no longer realizable.

Resident and other revenue is recorded on an accrual basis and includes rental income that is recorded on the straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The straight-line method records the periodic average amount of base rent earned over the term of a lease, taking into account contractual rent increases over the lease term. The Company records the difference between base rent revenues earned and amounts due per the respective lease agreements, as applicable, as an increase or decrease to deferred rent and lease incentives in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Resident and other revenue also includes amounts for which tenants are required to reimburse the Company related to expenses incurred on behalf of the tenants, in accordance with the terms of the leases. Tenant reimbursements are recognized in the period in which the related reimbursable expenses are incurred, such as real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and similar items.

Some of the Company’s leases require the tenants to pay certain additional contractual amounts that are set aside by the Company for replacements of fixed assets and other improvements to the properties. These amounts are and will remain the property of the Company during and after the term of the lease. The amounts are recorded as capital improvement reserve income at the time such amounts are earned and are included in resident and other revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Additional percentage rent that is due contingent upon tenant performance thresholds, such as gross revenues, is deferred until the underlying performance thresholds have been achieved.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s triple-net operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 4.8 years based on annualized base rents expiring between 2030 and 2032. The Company’s tenants hold options to extend the lease terms at certain properties for five-year periods, which are generally subject to terms and conditions similar to those provided under the initial lease term, including rent increases. The reported lease term is determined based on the non-cancellable periods of the Company’s leases unless economic incentives make it reasonably certain that an extension option will be exercised, in which case the Company includes the extended lease term.

The Company’s resident accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days after the date billed. Resident accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for credit losses of $5.1 million and $2.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and represent the Company’s estimate of the amount that will ultimately be collected. The adequacy of the Company’s allowance for credit losses is reviewed on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends, write-off experience, analyses of receivable portfolios by payor source and aging of receivables, as well as a review of specific accounts, and adjustments are made to the allowance, as necessary. Credit losses on resident receivables have historically been within management’s estimates, and management believes that the allowance for credit losses adequately provides for expected losses.

Deferred income taxes are recorded based on the estimated future tax effects of loss carryforwards and temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the Company expects those carryforwards and temporary differences to be recovered or settled. Management regularly evaluates the future realization of deferred tax assets and provides a valuation allowance, if considered necessary, based on such

evaluation. As part of the evaluation, management has evaluated taxable income in carryback years, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, feasible tax planning strategies, and future expectations of income. The valuation allowance reduces the Company’s net deferred tax assets to the amount that is “more likely than not” (i.e., a greater than 50% likelihood) to be realized. The Company has a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. However, in the event the Company were to ultimately determine that it would be more likely than not that the Company would realize the benefit of deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amounts, adjustments to deferred tax assets would increase net income in the period such determination was made. The benefits of the net deferred tax assets might not be realized if actual results differ from expectations.

The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions through consideration of accounting and reporting guidance on criteria, measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial statement comparability among different companies. The Company is required to recognize a tax benefit in its financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if management’s assessment is that its position is “more likely than not” (i.e., a greater than 50% likelihood) to be upheld on audit based only on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as income tax expense.

The Company filed for employee retention credits (“ERC”) with the Internal Revenue Service in November 2023. The ERC is a tax credit for businesses that had certain employee costs and were affected by the coronavirus pandemic under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Department of Treasury notified the Company of ERCs awarded under the CARES Act. The Company elected to account for the ERC as a gain analogizing to ASC 450-30, Gain Contingencies. The Company recognized gross ERC received of $0.6 million as other income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

The Company had Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) outstanding through March 11, 2026. The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock was convertible outside of its control and was classified as mezzanine equity. The Series A Preferred Stock was initially recorded at fair value upon issuance, net of issuance costs and discounts. When the Series A Preferred Stock was outstanding, the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock were affiliates of Conversant Capital LLC, (together, the “Conversant Preferred Investors”) and were entitled to vote with the holders of common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company. As such, the Conversant Preferred Investors, in combination with the common stock owned by them and their affiliates as of December 31, 2025, had voting rights in excess of 50% of the Company’s total voting stock. It was deemed probable that the Series A Preferred Stock could be redeemed for cash by the Conversant Preferred Investors, and as such, the Series A Preferred Stock was required to be remeasured and adjusted to its maximum redemption value at the end of each reporting period. However, to the extent that the maximum redemption value of the Series A Preferred Stock did not exceed the fair value of the shares at the date of issuance, the shares were not adjusted below the fair value at the date of issuance. As of December 31, 2025, the Series A Preferred Stock was carried at the maximum redemption value. The Series A Preferred Stock did not have a maturity date and, therefore, was considered perpetual.

Dividends on redeemable Series A Preferred Stock were recorded to retained earnings or additional paid-in capital if retained earnings was an accumulated deficit. Dividends were cumulative, and any declaration of dividends was at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). If the Board did not declare a dividend in respect of any dividend payment date, the amount of such accrued and unpaid dividend was added to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock and compounded quarterly thereafter.

We use derivative instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to market risks associated with the fluctuations in variable interest rates associated with our debt. We are also required to enter into interest rate derivative instruments in compliance with certain debt agreements. We regularly monitor the financial stability and credit standing of the counterparties to our derivative instruments. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We record all derivatives at fair value. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our derivative instruments consisted of interest rate caps that were not designated as hedge instruments. Changes in fair value of undesignated hedge instruments are recorded in current period earnings as interest expense. See “Note 1 6 –Derivatives and Hedging.”

The Company uses the two-class method to compute net income per common share because, until March 11, 2026, the Company had issued securities (Series A Preferred Stock) that entitled the holders to participate in dividends and earnings of the Company. Under this method, net income is reduced by the amount of any dividends earned during the period. The remaining earnings (undistributed earnings) are allocated based on the weighted-average shares outstanding of common stock and participating securities, including Series A Preferred Stock (on an if-converted basis) to the extent that each participating security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total earnings allocated to common stock is then divided by the number of outstanding shares to which the earnings are allocated to determine the earnings per share. The two-class method is not applicable during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the participating securities, including Series A Preferred Stock, have no obligation to fund losses.

Diluted net income per common share is computed under the two-class method by using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus, for periods with net income attributable to common shareholders, the potential dilutive effects of stock options, stock-based compensation awards, and warrants. In addition, the Company analyzes the potential dilutive effect of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock under the “if-converted” method when calculating diluted earnings per share, in which it is assumed that the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock converts into common stock at the beginning of the period or when issued, if later. The Company reports the more dilutive of the approaches (two class or “if-converted”) as its diluted net income per share during the period. See “Note 11–Net Income (Loss) Per Share.”

The Company evaluates the performance of its senior living communities and allocates resources based on current operations and market assessments on a property-by-property basis. The Company does not have a concentration of operations geographically or by product or service as its management functions are integrated at the property level. The Company has determined that its operating units meet the criteria in ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, to be aggregated into one reporting segment. As such, the Company operates in one segment.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Topic 220). The ASU requires the disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, within relevant income statement captions. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and should be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will likely result in the required additional disclosures where applicable being included in our consolidated financial statements once adopted. We continue to evaluate the effect that adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on our disclosures.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. ASU 2025-03 revises current guidance for determining the accounting acquirer for a transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity that meets the definition of a business. The amendments require that an entity consider the same factors that are currently required for determining which entity is the accounting acquirer in other acquisition transactions. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We adopted ASU 2025-03 on January 1, 2026. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
