| Metric | Value | FY | Provenance |
| --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Revenue | 476,393,000 USD | 2025 | verified |

| ROE | 7.94% | 2025 | computed |

Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

Percentile = share of the N covered peers reporting that ratio whose value is lower (ties counted half); computed among grepcent-covered companies in SIC industry 6798 Real Estate Investment Trusts, not the whole market. A higher percentile means a higher value of the ratio, not a better company. Ratios with fewer than 8 reporting peers are omitted. Latest reported values per company; fiscal periods may differ. Descriptive arithmetic - not a score, rating, or ranking.

Overview

CareTrust REIT is a self-administered, publicly-traded REIT engaged in the ownership, acquisition, financing, development and leasing of skilled nursing, senior housing and other healthcare-related properties. We operate through an umbrella partnership, commonly referred to as an UPREIT structure, in which substantially all of our properties and assets are held through CTR Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Operating Partnership is managed by CareTrust REIT’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CareTrust GP, LLC, which is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.

As of June 30, 2026, we owned, directly or indirectly in consolidated joint ventures, and leased to independent operators, 426 skilled nursing facilities (each, a “SNF”), senior housing communities and other properties consisting of 39,667 operational beds and units located in 33 states and the United Kingdom with the highest concentration of properties by rental income located in the U.K., California, Texas and Tennessee. As of June 30, 2026, we also had other real estate related

Table of Contents

investments consisting of four preferred equity investments, 21 real estate secured loans receivable and four mezzanine loans receivable with a carrying value of $1.1 billion and three financing receivables with a carrying value of $556.2 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, we began utilizing the structure authorized by the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (commonly referred to as “RIDEA”) as permitted by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 in connection with the establishment of a senior housing operating portfolio (“SHOP”) and completed our first SHOP acquisition in December 2025. As of June 30, 2026, CareTrust REIT also owned, indirectly in consolidated joint ventures, the properties and operations of four senior housing communities consisting of 372 units in Texas and Arizona that are operated on our behalf by independent managers pursuant to the terms of separate management agreements under our SHOP platform.

Recent Developments

Market Trends and Uncertainties

Recent macroeconomic conditions, particularly market uncertainty, immigration restrictions and changes to immigration enforcement policy, changes to the U.S. healthcare system, inflation (including higher supply costs and shortages), effects of global tariffs, elevated interest rates and related changes to consumer spending, have adversely impacted and could continue to adversely impact our tenants’ ability to meet some of their financial obligations to us. Higher interest rates and market volatility have also increased our costs of capital to finance acquisitions and increased our borrowing costs. We continue to monitor changes in the interest rate environment and the effect of changing rates on our business. In addition, current macroeconomic conditions and the resulting market volatility may adversely impact our ability to sell properties on acceptable terms, if at all, which could result in additional impairment charges.

As a result of impacts experienced by our operators due to recent market trends and uncertainties, the ability of some of our tenants and borrowers to meet their financial obligations to us in full may be negatively impacted. From time to time in the past, we have taken actions to reposition one or more properties with a replacement tenant or sell the property and, in certain cases, we have also restructured tenants’ long-term obligations. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we collected approximately 100% of contractual rents and interest due from our operators and borrowers. In the event our tenants or borrowers are unable to satisfy their obligations to us and we are unable to effect these actions on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place, our rental and interest income would be adversely impacted and we may incur additional expenses or obligations and be required to recognize additional impairment charges or fair value adjustments.

Regulatory Updates

The following information supplements and updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained under the caption Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Developments - Regulatory Updates, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

On July 29, 2026, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a final rule updating SNF payment rates for fiscal year 2027, providing for a net increase of 2.4% in Medicare Part A payments to SNFs, representing an estimated $882.7 million increase in aggregate payments to SNFs. This increase is expected to partially offset some of our tenants’ and borrowers’ higher operating costs.

In connection with the fiscal year 2027 rulemaking, CMS issued a Request for Information (“RFI”) seeking input on methodologies to quantify and address potential "case-mix creep" under the Patient-Driven Payment Model (“PDPM”). Comments were due June 1, 2026. In the final rule, CMS confirmed it will take the comments received under advisement in connection with any potential future rulemaking to address case-mix upcoding under PDPM. While the RFI did not result in specific rate changes for fiscal year 2027, it indicates CMS may pursue future recalibrations to PDPM that could reduce per-beneficiary Medicare payments to SNFs in fiscal years beyond fiscal year 2027.

In the same final rule, CMS finalized updates to the SNF Quality Reporting Program (“QRP”), including the removal of two COVID-19 vaccination measures beginning with the fiscal year 2028 SNF QRP, a shortened data submission timeframe from approximately 4.5 months to approximately 45 days beginning with the fiscal year 2029 SNF QRP, and a requirement that SNFs submit Minimum Data Set assessments for all residents receiving covered skilled care regardless of payer. These finalized obligations broaden the conduct that triggers the existing 2-percentage-point reduction to a SNF’s annual market basket update for noncompliance, which could adversely affect our tenants’ and borrowers’ financial condition and ability to meet their obligations to us.

In April 2026, CMS issued revised guidance updating Chapters 5 and 7 of the State Operations Manual, including updates to survey procedures and revisit protocols, strengthened Civil Money Penalty enforcement (with per-instance and per-day fines and public posting of certain penalties on Nursing Home Care Compare), and refined Immediate Jeopardy definitions.

Non-compliance could harm operators’ reputations and ability to attract patients. In addition, increased compliance burdens or enforcement actions against our tenants or borrowers could adversely affect their financial condition and, in turn, their ability to meet their obligations to us.

Overview

CareTrust REIT is a self-administered, publicly-traded REIT engaged in the ownership, acquisition, financing, development and leasing of skilled nursing, senior housing and other healthcare-related properties.

As of December 31, 2025, CareTrust REIT owned, directly or indirectly in consolidated joint ventures, and leased to independent operators, 407 skilled nursing facilities, senior housing communities and other properties consisting of 37,628 operational beds and units located in 32 states and the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”) with the highest concentration of properties by rental income located in California, the U.K., Texas, and Tennessee. As of December 31, 2025, we also had other real estate related investments consisting of four preferred equity investments, 16 real estate secured loans receivable and five mezzanine loans receivable with a carrying value of $899.3 million and one financing receivable with a carrying value of $92.2 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, we began utilizing the structure authorized by the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (commonly referred to as “RIDEA”) as permitted by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 in connection with the establishment of a senior housing operating platform (“SHOP”) and completed our first SHOP acquisition in December 2025. As of December 31, 2025, CareTrust REIT also owned, indirectly in consolidated joint ventures, the properties and operations of three senior housing communities consisting of 270 units in Texas that are operated on our behalf by independent managers pursuant to the terms of separate management agreements under our SHOP platform.

Recent Developments

SHOP Communities

During the fourth quarter of 2025, we began utilizing the RIDEA structure and established a SHOP platform through the acquisition of three senior housing communities.

The Acquisition

On May 8, 2025, we closed our acquisition (the “Care REIT Acquisition”) of Care REIT plc (“Care REIT”). In connection with this acquisition, on June 30, 2025, we also acquired substantially all of the assets of Impact Health Partners LLP, the investment manager of Care REIT (together with the Care REIT Acquisition, the “Acquisition”). We treat these acquisitions as a single transaction as they were entered into in contemplation of one another and were intended to achieve an overall economic effect.

The Care REIT Acquisition was implemented by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) under Part 26 of the United Kingdom Companies Act of 2006. Under the terms of the Scheme, Care REIT stockholders received 108 pence in cash per share, totaling approximately $595.4 million. At closing, we also assumed Care

REIT’s liabilities of approximately $290.9 million. In addition, we paid the partners of Impact Health Partners LLP approximately $6.8 million for substantially all of Impact Health Partners LLP’s assets.

Market Trends and Uncertainties

Recent macroeconomic conditions, particularly market uncertainty, immigration restrictions and changes to immigration enforcement policy, changes to the U.S. healthcare system, shutdown of the federal government, declining consumer sentiment, inflation (including higher supply costs and shortages), effects of global tariffs, elevated interest rates and related changes to consumer spending, has adversely impacted and could continue to adversely impact our tenants’ ability to meet some of their financial obligations to us. Higher interest rates and market volatility have also increased our costs of capital to finance acquisitions and increased our borrowing costs. We continue to monitor changes in the interest rate environment and the effect of changing rates on our business. In addition, current macroeconomic conditions and the resulting market volatility may adversely impact our ability to sell properties on acceptable terms, if at all, which could result in additional impairment charges.

As a result of impacts experienced by our operators due to recent market trends and uncertainties, the ability of some of our tenants and borrowers to meet their financial obligations to us in full may be negatively impacted. From time to time in the past, we have taken actions to reposition one or more properties with a replacement tenant or sell the property and, in certain cases, we have also restructured tenants’ long-term obligations. See “Impairment of Real Estate Investments, Assets Held for Sale and Asset Sales” below. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, we collected 100% and 99.7% of contractual rents and interest due from our operators and borrowers exclusive of properties held-for-sale and sold during the period, respectively. In the event our tenants or borrowers are unable to satisfy their obligations to us and we are unable to effect these actions on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place, our rental and interest income would be adversely impacted and we may incur additional expenses or obligations and be required to recognize additional impairment charges or fair value adjustments.

Regulatory Updates

During the third quarter of 2025, both Idaho and North Carolina announced Medicaid reimbursement rate reductions that could adversely impact the operations of our tenants and borrowers at our SNFs located in those states. In Idaho, the Department of Health and Welfare enacted a 4% across-the-board rate cut in response to an $80 million budget shortfall. Effective December 10, 2025, North Carolina reversed the Medicaid reimbursement reductions and restored rates to September 30, 2025 levels.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of July 2025 (“OBBBA”) into law. This comprehensive budget reconciliation package reshapes federal policy across numerous sectors of the American economy, including taxation, healthcare, social safety nets, immigration, and education.

The OBBBA includes the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and other changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) that affect REITs and their investors. For instance, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, the OBBBA modifies the REIT asset test requirement with respect to taxable REIT subsidiaries, providing that not more than 25% (previously 20%) of the gross value of a REIT’s assets may be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. Additionally, the OBBBA permanently extends the Code Section 199A pass-through qualified business income deduction. This allows certain individuals, trusts, and estates to continue deducting 20% of their qualified business income, including qualified REIT dividends.

The OBBBA also introduced sweeping changes to healthcare policy and funding in the U.S. which may affect our industry in ways we cannot yet predict. Notably, however, the bill did not include previously proposed cuts to Medicaid reimbursement rates for SNFs, which is expected to provide continued stability for many of our tenants and borrowers, particularly those operating in states with high Medicaid census.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a final rule on July 31, 2024, updating Medicare payment policies and rates for SNFs for fiscal year 2025. This update included a 4.2% increase in Medicare Part A payments to SNFs, totaling approximately $1.4 billion. These increases partially offset some of our tenants’ and borrowers’ higher operating costs. Further, in this final rule, CMS expanded its ability to impose penalties on SNFs for health and safety deficiencies/non-compliance by allowing for more per instance and per day civil monetary penalties to be imposed for such health and safety deficiencies/non-compliance, as appropriate.

CMS issued a final rule on July 31, 2025, updating Medicare payment policies and rates for SNFs for fiscal year 2026. This update provides for a net increase of 3.2% in Medicare Part A payments to SNFs. This increase is expected to partially offset some of our tenants’ and borrowers’ higher operating costs.

On April 22, 2024, CMS issued a final rule intended to establish comprehensive minimum staffing requirements for nursing homes. However, the rule was vacated by a federal court in Texas in April 2025. Subsequently, the OBBBA, enacted

on July 4, 2025, imposed a legislative moratorium on the rule, effective until September 30, 2034. Further, in December 2025, HHS announced that it formally repealed these minimum staffing requirements. We continue to monitor regulatory developments closely and remain engaged with our tenants to assess the operational and financial implications of legislative actions.

On October 13, 2023, California Senate Bill No. 525 (“SB 525”) was signed into law, requiring a substantial increase in the minimum wage for workers operating in certain health care facilities. As a result of SB 525, certain health care facilities (including licensed skilled nursing facilities) operating in California are required to increase the wages of their covered health care employees to at least $21 per hour, which was initially required to be effective from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026, $22 or $23 per hour (depending on property type) from June 1, 2026 to May 31, 2028, and $25 per hour after June 1, 2028. After the initial implementation was delayed by the Governor of California in June 2024, SB 525 went into effect on October 16, 2024.
