Organization and Nature of Business	Organization and Nature of Business National Health Investors, Inc. (“NHI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), established in 1991 as a Maryland corporation, is a self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in sale-leaseback, joint venture and mortgage and mezzanine financing of need-driven and discretionary senior housing and medical facility investments. We operate through two reportable segments: Real Estate Investments and Senior Housing Operating Portfolio (“SHOP”). Our Real Estate Investments segment consists of real estate investments, leases, and mortgage and other notes receivables in independent living facilities (“ILFs”), assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), entrance-fee communities (“EFCs”), senior living campuses (“SLCs”), skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and hospitals (“HOSPs”). As of December 31, 2024, we had gross real estate investments of approximately $2.6 billion in 172 healthcare real estate properties located in 31 states and leased pursuant primarily to triple-net leases to 27 tenants consisting of 106 senior housing communities (“SHO”), 65 SNFs and one HOSP. Our portfolio of eleven mortgages along with other notes receivable totaled $289.2 million, excluding an allowance for expected credit losses of $20.2 million, as of December 31, 2024. Units, beds and property count disclosures in these footnotes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Our SHOP segment is comprised of two ventures that own the operations of ILFs. For this segment, as of December 31, 2024, we had gross investments of approximately $358.4 million in 15 ILFs located in eight states with a combined 1,732 units that are operated on behalf of the Company by independent managers pursuant to the terms of separate management agreements. The third-party managers, or related parties of the managers, own equity interests in the respective ventures.
