Increased 2026 Guidance

The Company provided updated guidance for 2026, projecting net income attributable to CareTrust of approximately $1.53 to $1.56 per share, Normalized FFO of approximately $2.03 to $2.06 per share, and Normalized FAD of approximately $2.01 to $2.04 per share. Mr. Bunker commented, “The midpoints of our new Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD guidance represent increases of 16.2% and 15.1%, respectively, over 2025 results. Our liquidity and capital access remain in great shape, giving us the flexibility to keep funding investments at our current pace. Between a balance sheet built for optionality and deep relationships across capital markets, we have real competitive advantages that provide runway to keep pursuing external growth aggressively."

Mr. Bunker noted that full year 2026 guidance is based on a weighted average diluted share count of 233 million shares, and assumes the following:

•No new investments, loans, or dispositions beyond those made year-to-date;

•No new debt or equity issuances beyond those made year-to-date;

•2.5% inflation-based rent escalators under long-term triple net leases;

•$147 million of loans to be fully repaid throughout the year; and

•No material change in the GBP:USD spot exchange rate.

Dividend Maintained

During the quarter, CareTrust declared a quarterly dividend of $0.39 per common share. On an annualized basis, the payout ratio was approximately 76% based on second quarter 2026 Normalized FFO, and 76% based on second quarter 2026 Normalized FAD.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA and Net Debt to Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA.

EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. represents net income (loss) attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. before interest expense (including amortization of deferred financing costs), income tax expense, amortization of stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization. Normalized EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. represents EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of core operating performance, such as recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, property operating expenses, gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, gains or losses from dispositions of real estate, real estate impairment charges, provision for loan losses, non-routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, accelerated amortization of lease intangibles, net of noncontrolling interests' share, extraordinary incentive plan payment, write-off of deferred financing costs, unrealized gains or losses on other real estate related investments, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, qualifying retirement benefits, and other income and expenses, as applicable. EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. and Normalized EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. and Normalized EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements, including the Company’s ability to fund capital expenditures or make payments on its indebtedness. Further, the Company’s computation of EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA reported by other REITs.

The Company also discloses Net Debt to Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA, which compares the Company's Net Debt as of the last day of the quarter to the Annualized Run Rate EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. for the quarter. "Net Debt" is defined as the Company's Total Debt as of the last day of the specified quarter adjusted to exclude the Company's cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and escrow deposits on acquisition of real estate as of such date, as well as the net proceeds from the expected settlement of shares sold under equity forward contracts through the Company's ATM Program and any forward equity offering that are outstanding as of such date. "Normalized Run Rate EBITDA" represents Normalized EBITDA, adjusted to give effect to the investments completed during the three months ended for the respective period as though such investments were completed as of the beginning of the period. "Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA" is calculated as Normalized Run Rate EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. for the specified quarter multiplied by four.

Funds from Operations and Funds Available for Distribution.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”), and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. 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. 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, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("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, as defined by GAAP.

FFO is defined by Nareit as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from dispositions of real estate investments, real estate related depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges, adjustments for the share of consolidated joint ventures, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Noncontrolling interests' pro rata share information is prepared by applying noncontrolling interests' actual ownership percentage for the period and is intended to reflect noncontrolling interests' proportionate economic interest in the financial position and operating results of properties in our portfolio. The Company computes FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. in accordance with Nareit’s definition.

FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. is defined as FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. excluding noncash income and expenses, such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees, amortization of above and below market intangibles, amortization of lease incentives, the effects of straight-line rent, recurring capital expenditures required to maintain our properties, adjustments for the share of consolidated joint ventures and non-cash interest income. The Company considers FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. to be a useful supplemental measure to evaluate the Company’s operating results excluding these income and expense items to help investors, analysts and other interested parties compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies on a more consistent basis.

Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD.

The Company also reports normalized FFO ("Normalized FFO") attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. and normalized FAD ("Normalized FAD") attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., each of which adjust FFO and FAD, respectively, for certain revenue and expense items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing operating results, such as write-off of deferred financing costs, provision for loan losses, accelerated amortization of lease intangibles, net of noncontrolling interests' share, non-routine transaction costs, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of stock-based compensation related to extraordinary incentive plan, extraordinary incentive plan payment, unrealized gains or losses on other real estate related investments, gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, property operating expenses, qualifying retirement benefits and other income and expenses. By excluding these items, investors, analysts and our management can compare Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD between periods more consistently.

Further, the Company’s computation of FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD may not be comparable to FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD 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 FAD differently than the Company does.

---

While FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD are relevant and widely-used measures of operating performance among REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements. The Company believes that net income attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. The Company also believes that the use of EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. The Company considers EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA, in each case attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., useful in understanding the Company’s operating results independent of its capital structure, indebtedness and other charges that are not indicative of its ongoing results, thereby allowing for a more meaningful comparison of operating performance between periods and against other REITs. The Company considers FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD, in each case attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, impairment charges and real estate related depreciation and amortization, and, for FAD and Normalized FAD, by excluding noncash income and expenses such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees, and the effects of straight-line rent, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD can help investors compare the Company’s operating performance between periods and to other REITs. The Company believes that the disclosure of Net Debt to Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA provides a useful measure to investors to evaluate the credit strength of the Company and its ability to service its debt obligations and to compare the Company’s credit strength to prior reporting periods and to other companies without the effect of charges that are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing performance or that could obscure the Company’s actual credit quality and after considering the effect of investments occurring during the period.
