Equity Method Investment Equity Method Investment
Concurrently with the acquisition of a CCRC from LCS-Westminster Partnership III, LLP in January 2020, we invested $0.9 million in the operating company, Timber Ridge OpCo, LLC (“Timber Ridge OpCo”) representing a 25% equity interest. This investment is held by our TRS to be compliant with the provisions of the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act (“RIDEA”) of 2007. As part of our investment, we provided Timber Ridge OpCo a revolving credit facility of up to $5.0 million of which no funds have been drawn.

We account for our investment in Timber Ridge OpCo under the equity method and decrease the carrying value of our investment for losses in the entity and distributions to NHI for cumulative amounts up to and including our basis plus any guaranteed or implied commitments to fund operations. In February 2023, we received $2.5 million from Timber Ridge OpCo, representing the Company’s proportionate share of the lease incentive earned, as discussed in Note 7, based on its equity interest in the entity. Our guaranteed and implied commitments are currently limited to the additional $5.0 million under the revolving credit facility and the $2.5 million lease incentive distribution received. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have recognized our share of Timber Ridge OpCo’s operating losses in excess of our initial investment. These cumulative losses of $5.0 million in excess of our original basis and the $2.5 million lease incentive distribution received are included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Excess unrecognized equity method losses for this investment for both the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $2.7 million. Cumulative unrecognized losses for this investment were $12.2 million through December 31, 2024. We recognized gains of approximately $0.4 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million representing cash distributions received related to our investment in Timber Ridge OpCo for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively.

The Timber Ridge OpCo property is subject to early resident mortgages secured by a Deed of Trust and Indenture of Trust (the “Deed and Indenture”). As part of our acquisition, NHI-LCS JV I, LLC (“Timber Ridge PropCo”) acquired the Timber Ridge CCRC property and a subordination agreement was entered into pursuant to which the trustee acknowledged and confirmed that the security interests created under the Deed and Indenture were subordinate to any security interests granted in connection with the $81.0 million loan made by NHI to Timber Ridge PropCo, which is eliminated upon consolidation. In addition, under the terms of the resident loan assumption agreements, during the term of the lease (seven years with two five-year renewal options), Timber Ridge OpCo is to indemnify Timber Ridge PropCo for any repayment by Timber Ridge PropCo of these early resident mortgage liabilities under the guarantee. As a result of the subordination agreement and the resident loan assumption agreements, no liability has been recorded as of December 31, 2024. The balance secured by the Deed and Indenture was $10.3 million at December 31, 2024.
