| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $476.6M | +108.8% | +13.0% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $320.5M | +156.3% | +11.0% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +59.1% | -37.1% | +75.9% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +67.2% | +23.6% | +32.9% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +67.3% | +22.7% | -1.8% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $379.0M | +60.5% | +49.6% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +79.5% | -23.1% | +32.4% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 22.2% | +62.4% | +23.9% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 1.54x | -53.7% | -31.5% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $5.1B | +49.8% | +13.2% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 1.57 vs 1.42 | +10.9% | 0.38 vs 0.40 | -6.1% |

Operator: Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us, and welcome to the CareTrust Second Quarter Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] I will now hand the conference over to Lauren Beale, Chief Accounting Officer. Lauren, please go ahead. Lauren Beale: Thank you, and welcome to CareTrust REIT's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. Today, we will make forward-looking statements based on management's current expectations, including statements regarding future financial performance, dividends, acquisitions, investments, financing plans, business strategies and growth prospects. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ from our expectations. These risks are discussed in CareTrust REIT's most recent Form 10-Q filing with the SEC. We do not undertake a duty to update or revise these statements, except as required by law. During the call, the company will reference non-GAAP metrics such as EBITDA, FFO and FAD. A reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is available in our earnings press release and Q2 2026 financial supplement, which are available on the Investor Relations section of CareTrust's website at www.caretrustreit.com. A replay of this call will also be available on the website for a limited period. On the call this morning are David Sedgwick, President and Chief Executive Officer; Derek Bunker, Chief Financial Officer; and James Callister, Chief Investment Officer. I'll now turn the call over to Dave Sedgwick, CareTrust REIT's President and CEO. Dave? David Sedgwick: Thank you, Lauren, and good morning, everybody. Thank you for joining us. The CareTrust flywheel cranked up a few years ago when we hit around 7x our lifetime annual average of investments in 2024 and again in 2025. The team shows no signs of slowing. In fact, the opposite is true. After 2 back-to-back record-setting years, we are again on pace to deliver in a big way for our operators and shareholders. Last quarter was the single largest investment quarter in our company's history, excluding M&A activity, with approximately $900 million of investments at a blended yield of 8.9%. James, Kyle, Joe, Tri, Josh, JP, Nick, Martin, and Killian, that's the dream team right there responsible for a year's worth of investments in 1 quarter. I'm so proud of them and proud of the entire CareTrust team across the board: accounting, asset management, finance, tax, legal, data, operations. Everyone is rowing hard together to make this year a three-peat of record performance. Q2 results achieved record investments in the quarter, record revenues, record FFO per share and a healthy raise to guidance, built on a foundation of record operator lease coverage and operator quality care measures. Let me expand on that foundation just a little bit. We are stoked to see our operator quality care measures exceed the industry averages for overall star ratings, health inspections, …

I prioritize dividend growth investing, building a core portfolio of select ETFs and high-quality individual stocks for stability and passive income. My approach favors continuity and flexibility, avoiding the risks of abrupt transitions from growth to dividend stocks near retirement. The portfolio centers on seven dividend growth ETFs, balancing moderate yield with robust growth potential and sector diversification.
