Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased 18.3% year-over-year (Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024), driven primarily by the SHOP segment, which saw a 26.3% increase in resident fees and services.
- Profitability Surge: Net income attributable to common stockholders rose from $19.4 million in Q2 2024 to $68.3 million in Q2 2025. This significant improvement was aided by a $15.8 million non-recurring expense in Q2 2024 related to shareholder relations matters (proxy campaign) that did not recur in 2025.
- NOI Performance: Total NOI increased 14.3% to $588.1 million. The SHOP segment NOI grew 33.7% to $286.4 million, driven by higher occupancy (86.5% vs. 83.8%) and revenue per occupied room. OM&R and NNN segments remained relatively flat.
- Portfolio Activity: The company acquired 23 senior housing communities for $961.5 million in the first half of 2025. It also sold 11 properties for $159.0 million, recognizing a $13.2 million gain.
