This supplement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical statements of fact and statements regarding the following: future financial and financing plans; strategies related to the Company's business and its portfolio, including acquisition opportunities and disposition plans; growth prospects, operating and financial performance, expectations regarding the making of distributions, payment of dividends, and the performance of our operators and their respective properties. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” "expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, though not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Our forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could lead to actual results differing materially from those projected, forecasted or expected. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are not guarantees and we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects or which could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to: (i) the ability of our tenants, managers, and borrowers to successfully operate our properties and to meet and/or perform their obligations under the agreements we have entered into with them, including without limitation, their respective obligations to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against various claims, litigation and liabilities; (ii) the impact of unstable market and economic conditions;(iii) the impact of healthcare reform legislation, including reimbursement rates and potential minimum staffing level requirements, on the operating results and financial conditions of our tenants, managers, and borrowers; (iv) the consequences of bankruptcy, insolvency or financial deterioration of our tenants, managers and borrowers;(v) the ability and willingness of our tenants, managers and borrowers to renew their agreements with us, and our ability to reposition our properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event we replace an existing tenant or manager; (vi) the risk that we may have to incur additional impairment charges related to our assets held for sale if we are unable to sell such assets at the prices we expect; (vii) the impact of public health crises; (viii) the availability of and the ability to identify (a) tenants and managers who meet our credit and operating standards, and (b) suitable acquisition opportunities and the ability to acquire and lease the respective properties to such tenants and managers on favorable terms; (ix) the intended benefits of our acquisition of Care REIT plc (“Care REIT”) may not be realized, and the additional risks we will be subject to from our investment in Care REIT and any other international investments; (x) the additional operational and legal risks associated with our properties managed in a RIDEA structure; (xi) the impact of the unfavorable resolution of litigation or disputes and rising liability and insurance costs as a result thereof or other market factors; (xii) the ability to retain our key management personnel; (xiii) the ability to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”); (xiv) changes in the U.S. and U.K. tax law and other state, federal or local laws, whether or not specific to REITs; (xv) the ability to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness; (xvi) access to debt and equity capital markets; (xvii) fluctuating interest and currency rates; and (xviii) any additional factors included under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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”). This supplement contains certain non-GAAP financial information relating to CareTrust REIT including EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD, Normalized FAD, and certain related ratios. Explanatory footnotes and a glossary explaining this non-GAAP information are included in this supplement. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are also included in this supplement or on our website. See “Financials and Filings – Quarterly Results” on the Investors section of our website at investor.caretrustreit.com. Non-GAAP financial information does not represent financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to net income, or as an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. You should not rely on non-GAAP financial information as a substitute for GAAP financial information, and should recognize that non-GAAP information presented herein may not compare to similarly-termed non-GAAP information of other companies (i.e., because they do not use the same definitions for determining any such non-GAAP information). This supplement also includes certain information regarding operators of our properties (such as EBITDARM Coverage, EBITDAR Coverage, and Occupancy), most of which are not subject to audit or SEC reporting requirements. The operator information provided in this supplement has been provided by the operators.

EBITDAR Coverage Aggregate EBITDAR produced by all properties under a master lease (or other grouping) for the trailing twelve-months ending on the period presented divided by the base rent payable to CareTrust REIT under such master lease (or other grouping) for the same period; provided that if the master lease has been amended to change the base rent during or since such period, then the aggregate EBITDAR for such period is divided by the annualized monthly base rent currently in effect. "Rent" refers to the total monthly rent due under the Company's lease agreements. EBITDAR reflects the application of a standard 5% management fee. EBITDARM Earnings before interest expense, income tax, depreciation, amortization, cash rent, and a standardized management fee (5% of facility operating revenues). EBITDARM Coverage Aggregate EBITDARM produced by all properties under a master lease (or other grouping) for the trailing twelve-months ending on the period presented divided by the base rent payable to CareTrust REIT under such master lease (or other grouping) for the same period; provided that if the master lease has been amended to change the base rent during or since such period, then the aggregate EBITDARM for such period is divided by the annualized monthly base rent currently in effect. Enterprise Value Share price multiplied by the number of outstanding shares, including assumed shares issued from the ATM program, plus total outstanding debt minus cash and assumed net proceeds from the ATM program, each as of a specified date. Property Counts Property counts exclude land under development, properties classified as held for sale or non-operational. Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc, excluding straight-line rental income adjustments, amortization of deferred financing fees, lease incentives, above and below market lease intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest income and adjustments for joint ventures.

Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro rata share of our consolidated joint ventures.

Initial Investment for properties acquired since inception as a public company represents CareTrust REIT’s purchase price and transaction costs and includes commitments for capital expenditures that are not rent producing and impairment charges (on all portfolio slides except the Investments slide). Normalized EBITDA EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc, adjusted for certain income and expense items the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing results, such as write-off of deferred financing costs, real estate impairment charges, provision for loan losses, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, property operating expenses, non-routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains or losses on other real estate related investments, gains or losses from dispositions of real estate or other real estate, accelerated amortization of lease intangibles, net of noncontrolling interests' share, extraordinary incentive plan payment, qualifying retirement benefits, other income and expenses, and gains or losses on foreign currency transactions.[1] Normalized FAD FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc, adjusted for certain income and expense items the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing results, such as provision for loan losses, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, non-routine transaction costs, write-off of deferred financing fees, loss on extinguishment of debt, extraordinary incentive plan payment, unrealized gains or losses on other real estate related investments, gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, qualifying retirement benefits, other income and expenses, and property operating expenses.[2] Normalized FFO FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc, adjusted for certain income and expense items the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing results, such as write-off of deferred financing costs, accelerated amortization of lease intangibles, net of noncontrolling interests' share, provision for loan losses, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, amortization of stock-based compensation related to extraordinary incentive plan, extraordinary incentive plan payment, qualifying retirement benefits, other income and expenses, non-routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains or losses on other real estate related investments, gains or losses on foreign currency transactions and property operating expenses.[2]
Revenues Revenues represents the respective period's contractual cash rent or interest income, annualized, and presented at 100% share for consolidated entities, and excludes ground lease income and the impact of any rent abatement for recent acquisitions, if applicable. Rent denominated in GBP is translated to USD using the spot rate at the balance sheet date. Interest income includes annualized interest from other real estate related loans and preferred equity investments. Additionally, if a lease or loan agreement was entered into, amended or restructured subsequent to the period, but prior to our filing date for the respective period the initial or amended contractual cash rent or interest is used. Senior Housing ("SH") Includes licensed healthcare facilities that provide personal care services, support and housing for those who need help with daily living activities, such as bathing, eating and dressing, yet require limited medical care. The programs and services may include transportation, social activities, exercise and fitness programs, beauty or barber shop access, hobby and craft activities, community excursions, meals in a dining room setting and other activities sought by residents. These facilities are often in apartment-like buildings with private residences ranging from single rooms to large apartments. Certain senior housing properties may offer higher levels of personal assistance for residents requiring memory care as a result of Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Levels of personal assistance are based in part on local regulations. Senior Housing also includes retirement communities or senior apartments, which are not healthcare facilities. These communities typically consist of entirely self-contained apartments, complete with their own kitchens, baths and individual living spaces, as well as parking for tenant vehicles. They are most often rented unfurnished, and generally can be personalized by the tenants, typically an individual or a couple over the age of 55. These facilities offer various services and amenities such as laundry, housekeeping, dining options/meal plans, exercise and wellness programs, transportation, social, cultural and recreational activities, and on-site security. Skilled Nursing or Skilled Nursing Facilities (“SNFs”) Licensed healthcare facilities that provide restorative, rehabilitative and nursing care for people not requiring the more extensive and sophisticated treatment available at an acute care hospital or long-term acute care hospital. Treatment programs include physical, occupational, speech, respiratory, ventilator, and wound therapy. Stabilized A property is considered stabilized unless it (i) is held for sale or disposed of during the reporting period, (ii) temporarily on Special Focus Facility status, (iii) slated to be transitioned to a new operator, or (iv) has recently undergone significant renovations or was recently repositioned or transitioned to a new operator and has not achieved underwritten stabilization within 12 months following its stabilization target date. Notes: [1] 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 attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc and Normalized EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc may not be comparable to EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA reported by other REITs. [2] CareTrust REIT believes FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc, FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc, Normalized FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc, and Normalized FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc (and their related per-share amounts) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of its 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, even though real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions. Moreover, by excluding items not indicative of ongoing results, Normalized FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc and Normalized FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc can facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other companies. However, FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc, FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc, Normalized FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc, and Normalized FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc (and their related per-share amounts) do not represent cash flows from operations or net income attributable to shareholders as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. 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.
