PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

General

LTC Properties, Inc. is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in seniors housing and health care properties through sale-leasebacks, mortgage financing, joint ventures, construction financing and structured finance solutions including preferred equity and mezzanine lending. Our investments in owned properties, mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments represent our primary source of income. We depend upon the performance of our operators with respect to the daily management and marketing of long-term health care services offered at our properties.

Our real estate investments include the following types of properties:

| ● | Independent living communities (“ILF”), also known as retirement communities or senior apartments, offer a sense of community and numerous levels of service, such as laundry, housekeeping, dining options/meal plans, exercise and wellness programs, transportation, social, cultural and recreational activities, on-site security and emergency response programs. Many independent living communities offer on-site conveniences like beauty/barber shops, fitness facilities, game rooms, libraries and activity centers.

| ● | Assisted living communities (“ALF”) serve people who require assistance with activities of daily living, but do not require the degree of supervision that skilled nursing facilities provide. Services are usually available 24 hours a day and include personal supervision and assistance with eating, bathing, grooming and administering medication. Many assisted living facilities provide a combination of housing, supportive services, personalized assistance and health care designed to respond to individual needs.

| ● | Memory care communities (“MC”) offer specialized options for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. These purpose built, free-standing facilities offer an alternative for private-pay residents affected by memory loss in comparison to other accommodations that typically have been provided within a secured unit of an assisted living or skilled nursing facility. Memory care facilities offer dedicated care, with staff usually available 24 hours a day, and specialized programming for various conditions relating to memory loss in an environment that is typically smaller in scale and more residential in nature than traditional assisted living and skilled nursing facilities.

| ● | Skilled nursing centers (“SNF”) provide restorative, rehabilitative and nursing care for people not requiring the extensive treatment available at acute care hospitals. Many skilled nursing facilities provide ancillary services that include occupational, speech, physical, respiratory and medical therapies, as well as sub-acute care services which are paid either by the patient, the patient’s family, private health insurance, or through the federal Medicare or state Medicaid programs.

| ● | Other property types (“OTH”) we also invest in other types of properties such as land parcels, projects under development (“UDP”) and behavioral health care hospitals.

We include independent living facilities and memory care as part of the assisted living property classification in some parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, when we refer to “we,” “our,” “us,” “registrant,” “the company,” or similar terms in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we mean LTC Properties, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Owned properties are leased pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases generally with an initial term of 2 to 15 years. Many of the leases contain renewal options. Each lease is a triple net lease which requires the lessee to pay all taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, capital and non-capital expenditures and other costs necessary in the operations of the facilities. Many of the leases contain renewal options and provide for fixed minimum base rent during the initial and renewal periods. The majority of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and that increase is generally computed in one of four ways depending on specific provisions of each lease:

| (i) | a specified percentage increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 2.0% and 3.0%;

| (ii) | a calculation based on the Consumer Price Index or Medicare Market Basket Rate;

| (iii) | as a percentage of facility revenues in excess of base amounts; or

| (iv) | specific dollar increases.

Our leases that contain fixed annual rental escalations and/or have annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index or the Medicare Market Basket Rate, are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease period. Certain leases have annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the gross operating revenues of the property. This revenue is not recognized until the appropriate contingencies have been resolved.

Generally, our leases provide for one or more of the following: security deposits, property tax impounds, repair and maintenance, escrows and credit enhancements such as corporate or personal guarantees or letters of credit. In addition, our leases are typically structured as master leases and multiple master leases with one operator, and are generally cross defaulted.

Financing Receivables. During 2023 and 2022, we entered into two joint ventures (“JV”) and contributed into the JVs for the purchase of properties through sale and leaseback transactions. Concurrently, each of these JVs leased the purchased properties back to an affiliate of the seller and provided the seller-lessee with purchase options. We determined that each of these sale and leaseback transactions meet the accounting criteria to be presented as Financing receivables on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded the rental revenue from these properties as Interest income from financing receivables on our Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within our consolidated financial statements for more information. The following tables provide information regarding our investments in financing receivables during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1) | The JV leased these communities back to an affiliate of the seller under a 10-year master lease, with two five-year renewal options. The contractual initial cash yield of 7.25% increases to 7.5% in year three then escalates thereafter based on CPI subject to a floor of 2.0% and a ceiling of 4.0%. The JV provided the seller-lessee with a purchase option to buy up to 50% of the properties at the beginning of the third lease year and the remaining properties at the beginning of the fourth lease year through the end of the sixth lease year, with an exit Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 9.0%. Upon origination we recorded $1.2 million Provision for credit losses equal to 1% of the financing receivable balance related to this investment.

​

(2) | The JV leased the centers back to an affiliate of the seller under a 10-year master lease, with two five-year renewal options and provided the seller-lessee with a purchase option, exercisable at the beginning of the fourth year through the end of the fifth year.

Mortgage Loans. As part of our strategy of making investments in properties used in the provision of long-term health care services, we provide mortgage financing on such properties based on our established investment underwriting criteria. We have also provided construction loans that by their terms convert into purchase/lease transactions or permanent financing mortgage loans upon completion of construction. The following table summarizes our investments in mortgage loans secured by first mortgages at December 31, 2023 (dollar amounts in thousands):

​

In general, the mortgage loans may not be prepaid except in the event of the sale of the collateral property to a third-party that is not affiliated with the borrower, although partial prepayments (including any prepayment premium) are often permitted where a mortgage loan is secured by more than one property upon a sale of one or more, but not all, of the collateral properties to a third-party which is not an affiliate of the borrower. The terms of the mortgage loans generally impose a premium upon prepayment of the loans depending upon the period in which the prepayment occurs, whether such prepayment was permitted or required, and certain other conditions such as upon the sale of the property under a pre-existing purchase option, destruction or condemnation, or other circumstances as approved by us. The prepayment premium is based on a yield maintenance formula. In addition to a lien on the mortgaged property, the loans are generally secured by certain non-real estate assets of the properties and contain certain other security provisions in the form of letters of credit and/or security deposits.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. From time to time, we provide funding to third-party operators for the acquisition, development and construction (“ADC”) of a property. If the ADC arrangement characteristics are more similar to a jointly-owned investment or partnership, we account for the ADC arrangement as an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting. The following table summarizes our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures at December 31, 2023 (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1) | Represents a preferred equity interest in an entity that developed and owns a 95-unit ALF and MC in Washington. Our investment represents 15.5% of the total investment. The preferred equity investment earns an initial cash rate of 7% increasing to 9% in year four until the internal rate of return (“IRR”) is 8%. After achieving an 8% IRR, the cash rate drops to 8% with an IRR ranging between 12% to 14%, depending upon timing of redemption. We have the option to require the JV partner to purchase our preferred equity interest at any time between August 17, 2031 and December 31, 2036.

​

(2) | Represents a preferred equity interest in an entity that developed and owns a 267-unit ILF and ALF in Washington. Our investment represents 11.0% of the estimated total investment. The preferred equity investment earns an initial cash rate of 8% with an IRR of 14%. The JV partner has the option to buy out our investment at any time after August 31, 2023 at the IRR rate. Also, we have the option to require the JV partner to purchase our preferred equity interest at any time between August 31, 2027 and, upon project completion and leasing the property, prior to the end of the first renewal term of the lease.

Investment Policies and Strategies

Our investment policy is to invest primarily in seniors housing and health care properties. Over the past three years, we have underwritten investments in seniors housing communities and health care centers for a total of approximately $547.7 million. Additionally, during the past three years, we have disposed of properties for a total sales price of $202.8 million.

Prior to finalizing an investment, we conduct a comprehensive financial due diligence review and property site review to assess the property’s general physical condition.

Historically our investments have consisted of:

| ● | fee ownership of seniors housing and skilled nursing properties that are leased to operators;

| ● | mortgage loans secured by seniors housing and skilled nursing properties; or

9

​

Table of Contents

| ● | participation in such investments indirectly through investments in mezzanine loans and real estate partnerships or other entities that themselves make direct investments in such loans or properties.

In evaluating potential investments, we consider factors such as:

| ● | type of property;

| ● | location;

| ● | competition within the local market and evaluation of the impact resulting from any potential new development projects in construction or anticipated to be approved by local authorities;

| ● | construction quality, condition and design of the property;

| ● | current and anticipated cash flow of the property and its adequacy to meet operational needs and lease obligations or debt service obligations;

| ● | experience, reputation and solvency of the operating companies providing services;

| ● | payor mix of private, managed care, Medicare and Medicaid patients;

| ● | growth, tax and regulatory environments of the communities in which the properties are located;

| ● | occupancy and demand for similar properties in the area surrounding the property;

| ● | Medicaid reimbursement policies and plans of the state in which the property is located;

| ● | third-party environmental reports, land surveys and market studies (if applicable);

| ● | energy, water and waste efficiency management practices; and

| ● | health, safety and wellness practices (air filtration systems, hazardous waste disposal, UV sanitation, etc).

We seek to diversify our portfolio by operator, by property type, and by geography. Our business development team boasts a seasoned roster with decades of collective experience and deep industry relationships. We strive to remain visible and relevant by supporting trade associations, attending and hosting industry conferences and events, speaking on panels and participating in media interviews. We believe these efforts, coupled with relationships will continue to provide investment opportunities in 2024 and beyond.

Our marketing and business development efforts focus on sourcing relationships with regionally based operators and intermediaries to execute on single property or small portfolio transactions that are not broadly marketed by third-party intermediaries. We take this approach because competition for larger, fully marketed portfolios generally results in increased pricing that produces yields below our investment hurdles. This strategy allows us to invest in properties priced at yields that are accretive to our stockholders.

It is our current policy, and we intend to continue this policy, that all borrowers of funds from us and lessees of any of our properties secure adequate comprehensive property and general and professional liability insurance that covers us as well as the borrower and/or lessee. Although we actively monitor and seek to ensure compliance with our policies, we may be subject to loss for any number of reasons, such as, noncompliance on the part of our lessees/borrowers, losses that exceed covered limits or that are not covered, inability of lessees/borrowers to obtain insurance on commercially reasonable terms, bankruptcy of a carrier, or insufficient tail coverage. For investments in which we own fee simple title to the property and lease it to a third-party tenant, we are a non-possessory landlord and are not responsible for what takes place on such property. Nonetheless, claims including those pertaining to general and professional liability may be asserted against us which may result in costs and exposure for which insurance is not available.

Competition

In the health care industry, we compete for real property investments with health care providers, other health care related REITs, real estate partnerships, banks, private equity funds, venture capital funds and other investors. Many of our competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial resources and lower cost of capital than we have available to us. Our ability to compete successfully for real property investments will be determined by numerous factors, including our ability to identify suitable acquisition targets, our ability to negotiate acceptable terms for any such acquisition and the availability and our cost of capital.

The lessees and borrowers of our properties compete on a local, regional and, in some instances, national basis with other health care providers. The ability of the lessee or borrower to compete successfully for patients or residents at our properties depends upon several factors, including the levels of care and services provided by the lessees or borrowers, the reputation of the providers, physician referral patterns, physical appearances of the properties, family preferences, financial condition of the operator and other competitive systems of health care delivery within the community, population and demographics.

REIT Tax Status

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we annually distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on the taxable income we distribute to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the generally applicable corporate tax rate. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to U.S. federal income tax provisions on certain specific transactions and property, as well as certain state and local taxes on our income, property or net worth and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

Health Care Regulation

Overview

The health care industry is heavily regulated by the government. Our borrowers and lessees who operate health care facilities are subject to extensive regulation by federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations are subject to frequent and substantial changes resulting from legislation, adoption of rules and regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations of existing law. These changes may have a dramatic effect on the definition of permissible or impermissible activities, the relative costs associated with doing business and the amount of reimbursement by both government and other third-party payors. These changes may be applied retroactively. The ultimate timing or effect of these changes cannot be predicted. The failure of any borrower of funds from us or lessee of any of our properties to comply with such laws, requirements and regulations could result in sanctions or remedies such as denials of payment for new Medicare and Medicaid admissions, civil monetary penalties, state oversight and loss of Medicare and Medicaid participation or licensure. Such action could affect our borrower’s or lessee’s ability to operate its facility or facilities and could adversely affect such borrower’s or lessee’s ability to make debt or lease payments to us.

The properties we own and the manner in which they are operated are affected by changes in the reimbursement, licensing and certification policies of federal, state and local governments. Properties may also be affected by changes in accreditation standards or procedures of accrediting agencies. In addition, expansion (including the addition of new beds or services or acquisition of medical equipment) and occasionally the discontinuation of services of health care facilities are, in some states, subjected to state and regulatory approval through “certificate of need” laws and regulations.

Health Care Reform and Other Legislative Developments

Federal health care reform, including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended (the

11

​

“Affordable Care Act”), has expanded access to health insurance, reduced health care costs, and instituted various health policy reforms. Among other things, the Affordable Care Act: reduced Medicare skilled nursing facility reimbursement by a so-called “productivity adjustment” based on economy-wide productivity gains; required the development of a value-based purchasing program for Medicare skilled nursing facility services; authorized bundled payment programs, which can include post-acute services; and provided incentives to state Medicaid programs to promote community-based care as an alternative to institutional long-term care services. In addition, the Affordable Care Act impacts both us and our lessees and borrowers as employers, including requirements related to the health insurance we offer to our respective employees. Many aspects of the Affordable Care Act have been implemented through regulations and sub-regulatory guidance. In December 2017, President Trump signed into law a tax reform bill that repeals the Affordable Care Act’s penalty for individuals who fail to maintain health coverage meeting certain minimum standards. While there have been efforts to repeal the law and enact alternative reforms, the Biden Administration has indicated it will support and expand upon the Affordable Care Act. Additional revisions of the Affordable Care Act could be made in future, although the details and timing of any such actions are unknown at this time. There can be no assurance that the implementation of the Affordable Care Act or any subsequent modifications or related legal challenges will not adversely impact the operations, cash flows or financial condition of our lessees and borrowers, which subsequently could materially adversely impact our revenue and operations.

President Biden, Congress and state legislatures can be expected to continue to review and assess alternative health care delivery systems and payment methodologies, including potential changes in Medicare and Medicaid payment policy for skilled nursing facility services and other types of post-acute care. Additional changes in laws, new interpretations of existing laws, or other changes in payment methodologies may have a dramatic effect on the definition of permissible or impermissible activities, the relative costs associated with doing business and the amount of reimbursement by the government and other third-party payors. There can be no assurances that enacted or future legislation will not have an adverse impact on the financial condition of our borrowers and lessees, which subsequently could materially adversely impact our company.

Reimbursement

The ability of our borrowers and lessees to generate revenue and profit determines the underlying value of that property to us. Revenues of our borrowers and lessees of skilled nursing centers are generally derived from payments for patient care. Sources of such payments for skilled nursing facilities include the federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs, private insurance carriers, managed care organizations, preferred provider arrangements, and self-insured employers, as well as the patients themselves.

A significant portion of the revenue of our skilled nursing center borrowers and lessees is derived from governmentally-funded reimbursement programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. Because of significant health care costs paid by such government programs, both federal and state governments have adopted and continue to consider various health care reform proposals to control health care costs. In many instances, revenues from Medicaid programs are insufficient to cover the actual costs incurred in providing care to Medicaid patients. In addition, all states have been making changes to their long-term care delivery systems that emphasize home and community-based long-term care services, in some cases coupled with cost-controls for institutional providers. Increasingly, state Medicaid programs are providing coverage through managed care programs under contracts with private health plans, which is intended to decrease state Medicaid costs. The federal government also has adopted various policies to promote community-based alternatives to institutional services. As states and the federal government continue to respond to budget pressures, future reduction in Medicaid payments for skilled nursing facility services could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our borrowers and lessees which could, in turn, adversely impact the timing or level of their payments to us.

With regard to the Medicare program, over the years there have been efforts to contain Medicare fee-for-service spending, promote Medicare managed care, and, more recently, tie reimbursement to quality and value of care. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) annually updates Medicare skilled nursing facility prospective payment system rates and other policies.

On April 11, 2022, CMS issued a proposed rule to update SNF rates and policies for fiscal year 2023. CMS estimated that the aggregate impact of the payment policies in the proposed rule would result in a decrease of approximately $320 million in Medicare Part A payments to SNFs in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022.

CMS also sought input on the effects of direct care staffing requirements to improve long-term care requirements for participation and promote thoughtful, informed staffing plans and decisions within facilities to meet residents’ needs, including maintaining or improving resident function and quality of life. Specifically, CMS sought input on establishing minimum staffing requirements for long-term care facilities. On June 29, 2022, CMS issued updates to guidance on minimum health and safety standards that long-term care facilities must meet to participate in Medicare and Medicaid, and issued new guidance in the State Operations Manual to address issues that significantly affect residents of long-term care facilities. On July 29, 2022, CMS issued a final rule to update SNF rates and policies for fiscal year 2023. CMS estimated that the aggregate impact of the payment policies in the final rule would result in an increase of 2.7%, or approximately $904 million, in Medicare Part A payments to SNFs in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022. CMS also finalized a permanent 5% cap on annual wage index decreases to smooth year-to-year changes in providers’ wage index payments. In addition, CMS indicated that it would continue to review the comments it received in response to its request for information on establishing minimum staffing requirements for long-term care facilities, and that it intended to issue proposed rules on a minimum staffing level measure within one year. On April 4, 2023, CMS issued a proposed rule that would update SNF rates and policies for fiscal year 2024. CMS estimated that the aggregate impact of the payment policies in the proposed rule would result in a net increase of 3.7%, or approximately $1.2 billion, in Medicare Part A payments to SNFs in fiscal year 2024. CMS also indicated that it continued to review the feedback it received from its comment solicitation regarding minimum staffing requirements and that the feedback would be used, along with evidence from its mixed-methods study launched in August 2022 collecting quantitative and qualitative evidence on staffing levels within nursing homes, to inform proposals for minimum direct care staffing requirements in nursing homes in a future rulemaking. On July 31, 2023, CMS issued a final rule to update SNF rates and policies for fiscal year 2024. CMS estimated that the aggregate impact of the payment policies in the final rule would result in a net increase of 4.0%, or approximately $1.4 billion, in Medicare Part A payments to SNFs in fiscal year 2024. In addition, the final rule includes updates to the SNF Quality Reporting Program and the SNF Value-Based Purchasing Program for fiscal year 2024 and future years, including the adoption of a measure intended to address staff turnover, as outlined in the President’s Executive Order 14070 Increasing Access to High-Quality Care and Supporting Caregivers. Finally, the rule finalizes a constructive waiver process to ease administrative burdens for CMS related to processing civil monetary penalty appeals.

On September 1, 2023, CMS issued the Minimum Staffing Standards for Long-Term Care Facilities and Medicaid Institutional Payment Transparency Reporting proposed rule, which seeks to establish comprehensive nurse staffing requirements. The proposed rule consists of three core staffing proposals: (1) minimum nurse staffing standards of 0.55 hours per resident day (“HPRD”) for registered nurses (“RNs”) and 2.45 HPRD for nurse aides (“NAs”); (2) a requirement to have an RN onsite 24 hours a day, seven days a week; and (3) enhanced facility assessment requirements. The proposed rule also includes a staggered implementation approach and possible hardship exemptions for select facilities. The deadline for submission of comments on the proposed rule was November 6, 2023.

There can be no assurance that these rules or future regulations modifying Medicare skilled nursing facility payment rates or other requirements for Medicare and/or Medicaid participation will not have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our borrowers and lessees which could, in turn, adversely impact the timing or level of their payments to us.

On March 26, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), sweeping legislation intended to bolster the nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to offering economic relief to individuals and impacted businesses, the law expanded coverage of COVID-19 testing and preventative services, addressed health care workforce needs, eased restrictions on telehealth services during the crisis, and increased Medicare regulatory flexibility, among many other provisions. Notably, the CARES Act temporarily suspended the 2% across-the-board “sequestration” reduction of all Medicare Fee-For-Service (“FFS”) payments under the Medicare program that had previously been in effect since April 1, 2013, from May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, and extended the Medicare sequester requirement through fiscal year 2030. In addition, the law provided $100 billion in grants to eligible health care providers for health care related expenses or lost revenues that are attributable to COVID-19. On April 10, 2020, CMS announced the distribution of $30 billion in funds to Medicare providers based upon their 2019 Medicare fee for service revenues. Eligible providers were required to agree to certain terms and conditions in receiving these grants. In addition, HHS authorized $20 billion of additional funding for providers that have already received funds from the initial distribution of $30 billion. Unlike the first round of funds, which came automatically, providers were required to apply for these additional funds and submit the required

supporting documentation, using the online portal provided by HHS. Providers were required to attest to and agree to specific terms and conditions for the use of such funds. HHS expressed a goal of allocating the whole $50 billion proportionally across all providers based on those providers’ proportional share of 2018 net Medicare fee-for-service revenue, so that some providers would not be eligible for additional funds. On May 22, 2020, HHS announced that it had begun distributing $4.9 billion in additional relief funds to SNFs to offset revenue losses and assist nursing homes with additional costs related to responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency and the shipments of personal protective equipment provided to nursing homes by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. On June 9, 2020, HHS announced that it expected to distribute approximately $15 billion to eligible providers that participate in state Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) programs and have not received a payment from the Provider Relief Fund General Allocation. On July 22, 2020, HHS announced $5 billion in Provider Relief Funds to Medicare-certified long-term care facilities and state veterans’ homes to build nursing home skills and enhance nursing homes’ response to COVID-19, including enhanced infection control. Nursing homes must participate in the Nursing Home COVID-19 training to be qualified to receive this funding. On August 27, 2020, HHS announced that it had distributed almost $2.5 billion to nursing homes to support increased testing, staffing, and personal protective equipment needs. On September 3, 2020, HHS announced a $2 billion performance-based incentive payment distribution to nursing homes and SNFs. Finally, on October 1, 2020, HHS announced $20 billion in new funding for several types of providers, including those who previously received, rejected, or accepted a general distribution provider relief fund payment. The application deadline for these Phase 3 funds was November 6, 2020.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 included a $900 billion COVID-19 relief package, of which $73 billion was allocated to HHS. Notably, the legislation added an additional $3 billion to the Provider Relief Fund included language specific to reporting requirements, and allowed providers to use any reasonable method to calculate lost revenue, including the difference between such provider’s budgeted and actual revenue budget if such budget had been established and approved prior to March 27, 2020. On January 15, 2021, HHS announced that it would be amending the reporting timeline for Provider Relief Funds and indicated that it was working to update the Provider Relief Fund requirements to be consistent with the passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.

On June 11, 2021, HHS issued revised reporting requirements for recipients of Provider Relief Fund payments. The announcement included expanding the amount of time providers would have to report information, aimed to reduce burdens on smaller providers, and extended key deadlines for expending Provider Relief Fund payments for recipients who received payments after June 30, 2020. The revised reporting requirements are applicable to providers who received payments exceeding, in the aggregate, $10,000 during a single Payment Received Period from the Provider Relief Fund General Distributions, Targeted Distributions, and/or Skilled Nursing Facility and Nursing Home Infection Control Distributions. On July 1, 2021, HHS, through the Health Resources and Services Administration (“HRSA”), notified recipients of Provider Relief Fund payments that the Provider Relief Fund Reporting Portal was open for reporting on the use of funds in Reporting Period 1, as described by HHS’s June 11, 2021 update to the reporting requirements. On September 10, 2021, HHS announced a final 60-day grace period of the September 30, 2021 reporting deadline for Provider Relief Funds exceeding $10,000 in aggregate payments received from April 10, 2020 to June 30, 2020. Several reporting periods have concluded to date. Reporting Period 6, for providers who received one or more payments exceeding $10,000, in the aggregate, from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, opened January 1, 2024.

On September 10, 2021, the Biden Administration announced $25.5 billion in new funding for health care providers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including $8.5 billion in American Rescue Plan (“ARP”) resources for providers who serve rural Medicaid, CHIP, or Medicare patients, and an additional $17 billion for Phase 4 Provider Relief Funds for a broad range of providers who could document revenue loss and expenses associated with the pandemic, including assisted living facilities that were state-licensed/certified on or before December 31, 2020. Approximately 25% of the Phase 4 allocation was for bonus payments based on the amount and type of services provided to Medicaid, CHIP, and Medicare beneficiaries from January 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020. From December 2021 through April 2022, HRSA continued to distribute Provider Relief Fund payments to eligible providers. On April 10, 2023, President Biden signed into law H.J. Res. 7, which terminated the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Separately, the declared public health emergency expired May 11, 2023.

Following prior legislation suspending sequestration, on December 10, 2021, President Biden signed the Protecting Medicare and American Farmers from Sequester Cuts Act, which extended the suspension of the Medicare 2% sequestration reduction through March 31, 2022, and then reduced the sequestration cuts to 1% from April through

14

June 2022. As of July 1, 2022, cuts of 2% were re-imposed.

CMS also has implemented a variety of Medicare bundled payment programs that seek to promote greater care coordination and more efficient use of resources. Certain of these models, such as the Medicare Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement and Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced models, have impacted post-acute care, including skilled nursing facility services. There can be no assurances that new Medicare payment models will not adversely affect revenues of our skilled nursing center borrowers and lessees and thereby adversely affect those borrowers’ and lessees’ abilities to make their debt or lease payments to us.

Moreover, health care facilities continue to experience pressures from private payors attempting to control costs; reimbursement from private payors has in some cases fallen relative to government payors. Governmental and public concern regarding health care costs may result in significant reductions in payment to health care facilities, and there can be no assurance that future payment rates for either governmental or private payors will be sufficient to cover cost increases in providing services to patients. Any changes in reimbursement policies which reduce reimbursement to levels that are insufficient to cover the cost of providing patient care could adversely affect revenues of our skilled nursing center borrowers and lessees and to a much lesser extent our assisted living community borrowers and lessees and thereby adversely affect those borrowers’ and lessees’ abilities to make their debt or lease payments to us. Failure of the borrowers or lessees to make their debt or lease payments would have a direct and material adverse impact on us.

Fraud and Abuse Enforcement

Various federal and state laws govern financial and other arrangements between health care providers that participate in, receive payments from, or make or receive referrals in connection with government funded health care programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. These laws, known as the fraud and abuse laws, include the federal anti-kickback statute, which prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying any remuneration directly or indirectly in return for, or to induce, the referral, or arrange for the referral, of an individual to a person for the furnishing of an item or service for which payment may be made under federal health care programs. In addition, the federal physician self-referral law, commonly known as the Stark Law, prohibits physicians and certain other types of practitioners from making referrals for certain designated health services paid in whole or in part by Medicare and Medicaid to entities with which the practitioner or a member of the practitioner’s immediate family has a financial relationship, unless the financial relationship fits within an applicable exception to the Stark Law. The Stark Law also prohibits the entity receiving the referral from seeking payment under the Medicare program for services rendered pursuant to a prohibited referral. Sanctions for violating the Stark Law include civil monetary penalties of up to $29,899 per prohibited service provided, assessments equal to three times the dollar value of each such service provided and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Many states have enacted similar fraud and abuse laws which are not necessarily limited to items and services for which payment is made by federal health care programs. Violations of these laws may result in fines, imprisonment, denial of payment for services, and exclusion from federal and/or other state-funded programs. Other federal and state laws authorize the imposition of penalties, including criminal and civil fines and exclusion from participation in federal health care programs for submitting false claims, improper billing and other offenses. Federal and state government agencies have continued rigorous enforcement of criminal and civil fraud and abuse laws in the health care arena. Our borrowers and lessees are subject to many of these laws, and some of them could in the future become the subject of a governmental enforcement action.

Environmental Regulation

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner of real property or a secured lender (such as us) may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances at, under or disposed of in connection with such property, as well as other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including government fines and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property). Such laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner or secured lender knew of, or was responsible for, the presence or disposal of such substances and may be imposed on the owner or secured lender in connection with the activities of an operator of the property. The cost of any required remediation, removal, fines or personal or property damages and the owner’s or secured lender’s liability therefore could exceed the value of the property, and/or the assets of the owner or secured lender. In addition, the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly dispose of or

15

​

Table of Contents

remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral which, in turn, would reduce our revenues.

Although the mortgage loans that we provide and leases covering our properties require the borrower and the lessee to indemnify us for certain environmental liabilities, the scope of such obligations may be limited and we cannot assure that any such borrower or lessee would be able to fulfill its indemnification obligations.

Item 1A. RISK FACTOR S

This section discusses risk factors that could affect our business, operations, and financial condition. If any of these risks, as well as other risks and uncertainties that we have not yet identified or that we currently believe are not material, actually occur, we could be materially adversely affected and the value of our securities could decline. In addition, these risk factors contain “forward-looking statements” as discussed above under the “Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements.” The following information should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We are dependent on our operators for revenue and cash flow.

Substantially all of our revenue and sources of cash flows are derived from operating lease rentals and interest earned on outstanding financing receivables, loans receivable and income from our preferred equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. Our investments in owned properties, mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, financing receivables and preferred equity investments represent our primary source of liquidity to fund distributions. We do not implement operational decisions with respect to the daily management and marketing of care services offered at our properties. We therefore are dependent upon the performance of our operators and the income and rates we earn on leases and loans. A decrease in occupancy and/or increase in operating costs could have an adverse effect on our lessees and borrowers. For example, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures, our lessees and borrowers have experienced a decrease in occupancy and an increase in operating costs. There can be no assurance that our lessees and borrowers will have sufficient assets, income, and access to financing to enable them to satisfy, in full, their respective obligations to us. Our financial condition and ability to pay dividends could be adversely affected by financial difficulties experienced by any of our lessees or borrowers, or in the event any such operator does not renew and/or extend its relationship with us at similar or better financial terms.

We and our operators are subject to risks associated with public health crises, including COVID-19 and other pandemics.

The existence, and effect of public health crises and related government measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases could adversely impact our company and the financial results of our operators. The operations and occupancy levels at the seniors housing and health care facilities of our lessees and borrowers were adversely affected by COVID-19 and could be further adversely affected by COVID-19 or another pandemic especially if there are infections on a large scale at our properties. The impact of COVID-19 has included, and another pandemic could include, early resident move-outs, our operators delaying accepting new residents due to quarantines, potential occupants postponing moves to our operators’ facilities, and/or hospitals cancelling or significantly reducing elective surgeries thereby reducing the number of people in need of skilled nursing care. Operating costs of our lessees and borrowers also have risen due to the impact of COVID-19, including cost increases in staffing and pay, purchases of additional personal protective equipment (“PPE”), and implementation of additional safety protocols and higher than normal inflationary pressures.

Additionally, health orders, rent moratoriums, and other initiatives by federal, state, and local authorities could affect our operators and our ability to collect rent and/or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent. The extent to which COVID-19 or another pandemic could impact our operations and those of our operators will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures. Further, if COVID-19 results in an extended adverse trend away from seniors housing and health care facilities to at-home and alternative care services, the occupancy rates of our operators and the value of our real estate investments could be negatively impacted.

The health care industry is heavily regulated by the government.

Our borrowers and lessees who operate health care facilities are subject to extensive regulation by federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations are subject to frequent and substantial changes resulting from legislation, adoption of rules and regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations of existing law. These changes may have a dramatic effect on the definition of permissible or impermissible activities, the relative costs associated with doing business and the amount of reimbursement by both government and other third-party payors. These changes may be applied retroactively. The ultimate timing or effect of these changes cannot be predicted. For instance, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended (the “Affordable Care Act”) may be subject to revision, replacement, repeal or expansion. In addition, CMS periodically adopts new regulations, and has proposed minimum staffing standards that would apply to long-term care facilities participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. See Item 1. Business—Health Care Regulation. The failure of any borrower of funds from us or lessee of any of our properties to comply with such laws, requirements and regulations could affect its ability to operate its facility or facilities and could adversely affect such lessee’s or borrower’s ability to make lease or debt payments to us.

Federal and state health care cost containment measures including reductions in reimbursement from third-party payors such as Medicare and Medicaid could adversely affect us and the ability of our operators to make payments to us.

The ability of our borrowers and lessees to generate revenue and profit determines the underlying value of that property to us. Revenues of our borrowers and skilled nursing center lessees are generally derived from payments for patient care. Sources of such payments include the federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs, private insurance carriers, health care service plans, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider arrangements, self-insured employers, as well as the patients themselves.

The health care industry continues to face increased government and private payor pressure on health care providers to control costs. Federal legislative and regulatory policies have been adopted and may continue to be proposed that would reduce Medicare and/or Medicaid payments to nursing facilities. Moreover, state budget pressures continue to result in adoption of Medicaid provider payment reductions in some states. Increasingly, state Medicaid programs are providing coverage through managed care programs under contracts with private health plans, which is intended to decrease state Medicaid costs. In light of continuing federal and state Medicaid program reforms, budget cuts, and regulatory initiatives, no assurance can be given that the implementation of such regulations and reforms will not have an adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of our lessees and/or borrowers which, in turn, could affect their ability to meet their contractual obligations to us.

Required regulatory approvals could delay operation of health care facilities.

Operators of skilled nursing and other health care facilities must be licensed under applicable state law and, depending upon the type of facility, certified or approved under the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs. A new operator in certain states also must receive change-of-ownership approvals under certificate of need laws. Delays in an operator receiving regulatory approvals from the applicable federal, state, or local government agencies, or the inability of an operator to receive such approvals, could prolong the period during which we are unable to receive lease or loan payments. We also could incur expenses in connection with any licensing, certification, or change-of-ownership proceedings.

Failure to comply with federal, state, or local regulations could prohibit operation of health care facilities.

The failure of our operators to comply with federal, state, or local regulations could result in penalties which could include loss or restriction of license, loss of accreditation, denial of reimbursement, imposition of fines, suspension or decertification from federal and state health care programs, or closure of the facility. The loss or imposition of restrictions on any required license, registration, certificate of need, provider agreement or certification would prevent a facility from operating in the manner intended by the operator. Additionally, failure by any of our operators to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in adverse publicity and reputational harm, and therefore could harm our business.

Insurance coverage maintained by our operators could be inadequate to protect against contingencies.

Operators of health care facilities may become subject to claims that their services have resulted in injury or other adverse effects. As a non-possessory landlord, we contend we are not generally responsible for what takes place at properties we do not possess. Although we require our operators to secure adequate comprehensive liability insurance that covers us as well as the operator, we could be subject to losses due to noncompliance or insufficient coverage. In addition, certain risks could be uninsurable or unavailable. There can be no assurance that we or our operators will have adequate insurance or funds to cover all contingencies. If an uninsured loss occurs or a loss exceeds policy limits, we could lose both invested capital and anticipated revenue from a property.

We rely on a few major operators.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, approximately 28.9% of our revenues from leases and interest income from real estate investments were generated from three operators. The failure, inability, or unwillingness of any of these operators to meet their obligations to us could materially reduce our cash flow as well as our results of operations.

Inflation could adversely impact the operating expenses of our tenants.

Inflation, both real or anticipated as well as any resulting governmental policies, could adversely affect the economy and the costs of labor, goods and services to our tenants. Because tenants are typically required to pay all property operating expenses, increases in property-level expenses at our leased and mortgaged properties generally do not directly affect us. Increased operating costs could have an adverse impact on our tenants and borrowers, if increases in their operating expenses exceed increases in their revenue, which may adversely affect our tenants’ and borrowers’ ability to pay rent and interest owed to us. An increase in our tenants’ and borrowers’ expenses and a failure of their revenues to increase at least with inflation could adversely impact our tenants’, borrowers’ and our financial condition and our results of operations.

Inflation could rise at rates that outpace contractual or actual increases in rental income.

Our long-term leases and loans typically contain provisions, such as rent escalators, designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. If the contractual or actual increases in rental income we receive from our operators do not keep pace with a rise in inflation, our financial condition and our results of operations could be adversely impacted.

We may be unable to renew leases, or the terms of renewals or new leases could be less favorable than current leases.

Approximately 64.6% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, was derived from operating lease rentals. There can be no assurance that a lessee will operate its lease through expiration or that a lessee will exercise an option to renew its lease upon expiration. In such scenarios, there can be no assurance that we would be able to find a suitable replacement operator, re-lease the property on substantially equivalent or better terms than the prior lease, if at all. Additionally, to retain current or attract new operators, we could be asked to provide rent concessions or undertake capital expenditures to improve properties.

Operator financial or legal difficulties could delay or prevent collection of rent.

If a lessee experiences financial or legal difficulties, it could fail to pay us rent when due, assert counterclaims, or seek bankruptcy protection. In the case of a master lease, this risk is magnified, as a default could reduce or eliminate rental revenue from several properties. Over the past three years, some of our operators have had or continue to have financial or legal difficulties resulting in non-payment of rent or bankruptcy. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Executive Overview—Portfolio Overview—Update on Certain Operators for further discussion. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to cause, financial and legal difficulties for certain of our lessees. If an operator is unable to comply with the terms of its leases, we could be asked to defer rent or be forced to modify the leases in ways that are unfavorable to us. Alternatively, the failure of an operator to perform its obligations under a lease or other agreements with us could force us to declare a default and terminate the lease. There can be no assurance that we would be able to find a suitable replacement operator, re-lease the property on substantially equivalent or better terms than the prior lease, if at all. If a lessee seeks bankruptcy protection, it could delay our efforts to collect past due amounts owed to us under the applicable lease and ultimately preclude collection of all or a portion of those amounts.

Collateral securing mortgage loans could be insufficient.

If a borrower defaults under a mortgage loan, we could be obligated to foreclose on or otherwise protect our investment by acquiring title to the property. In such a scenario, the borrower could contest enforcement of foreclosure, assert counterclaims, or seek bankruptcy protection. This could limit or delay our ability to recover unpaid principal and/or interest and exercise other rights and remedies. Declines in the value of the property could prevent us from realizing an amount equal to our investment. Additionally, it could be difficult to expeditiously find a suitable replacement operator, if at all, or otherwise successfully operate or occupy the property, which could adversely affect our ability to recover our investment.

Our real estate investments could become impaired.

We periodically, but not less than quarterly, evaluate our real estate investments and other assets for impairment indicators. The judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based on factors such as market conditions, operator performance, and legal structure. If we determine that an impairment has occurred, we would be required to make an adjustment to the net carrying value of the asset which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the write-off occurs.

O ur real estate investments are relatively illiquid and could be difficult to sell for book value.

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and therefore tend to limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates, and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond our control. All of our real estate investments are special purpose properties that cannot be readily converted to other health care related services, general residential, retail, or office use. Transfers of operations of health care facilities are subject to regulatory approvals not required for transfers of other types of commercial operations and other types of real estate. If the operation of any of our properties becomes unprofitable or a lessee or borrower becomes unable to meet its obligations on the lease or mortgage loan, the liquidation value of the property could be substantially less than the net book value or the amount owing on any related mortgage loan than would be the case if the property were readily adaptable to other uses.

Development and construction risks could affect the profitability and completion of properties.

Our business includes development and construction of seniors housing and health care properties. Construction and development projects involve risks such as the following:

| ● | development of a project could be abandoned after expending significant resources resulting in the loss of deposits or failure to recover expenses already incurred;

20

​

Table of Contents

| ● | development and construction costs of a project could exceed original estimates due to increased interest rates and higher materials, transportation, labor, leasing, or other costs, which could make completion less profitable;

| ● | financing for a project could be unavailable on favorable terms or at all;

| ● | project delays could result in increases in construction costs and debt service expenses as a result of a variety of factors that are beyond our control, including natural disasters, labor conditions, material shortages, and regulatory hurdles; and

| ● | occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed property could fail to meet expected levels and could be insufficient to make the property profitable.

We may be unable to invest cash proceeds due to competition for health care properties.

From time to time, we will have cash available from the sale of equity and debt capital, sale of properties, and funds from operations. With these cash proceeds, we may seek to invest in health care properties as part of our business and growth strategy. We compete for health care property investments with developers, public and private REITs, and other investors, some of whom may have greater financial resources than us. The competition for health care properties could affect our ability to make timely investments on acceptable terms, which could adversely affect our ability to grow or acquire properties profitably or with attractive return.

Our operators face competition providing seniors housing and health care services.

The business of providing seniors housing and health care is highly competitive. Our operators compete with other companies providing similar care services or alternatives such as home health agencies, hospices, life care at home, community-based service programs, retirement communities, and convalescent centers. Additionally, our operators are sensitive to changes in the labor market and wages and benefits offered to their employees, which can impact their ability to remain competitive. There can be no assurance that our operators will not encounter increased competition in the future which could limit their ability to attract residents or expand their businesses and therefore affect their ability to make their lease or loan payments to us.

Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT

Our failure to qualify as a REIT would have serious adverse consequences to our stockholders.

We intend to operate so as to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. We believe that we have been organized and have operated in a manner which would allow us to qualify as a REIT under the Code beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1992. However, it is possible that we have been organized or have operated in a manner which would not allow us to qualify as a REIT, or that our future operations could cause us to fail to qualify. Qualification as a REIT requires us to satisfy numerous requirements (some on an annual and quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations, and involves the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. For example, in order to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources, and we must pay dividends to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding capital gains). Legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly change the tax laws with respect to qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal and state income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax for taxable years ending prior to January 1, 2018) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We note that REITs are specifically excluded from the application of the corporate alternative minimum tax that was enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (H.R. 5376). Unless we are entitled to relief under statutory provisions, we would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we lost qualification. If we lose our REIT status, our net earnings available for investment or

21

​

Table of Contents

distribution to stockholders would be significantly reduced for each of the years involved. In addition, we would no longer be required to make distributions to stockholders.

Legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations and/or court decisions could occur at any time and significantly change the tax laws with respect to our qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. We cannot predict if or when any new or amended law, regulation, administrative interpretation, or case will be adopted, promulgated, decided or become effective, and any such change may apply retroactively. The last significant legislation affecting REITs was The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, effective for tax years beginning in 2018. We and our security holders may be adversely affected by any new or amended law, regulation, administrative interpretation, or case law.

Prospective investors are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and any other regulatory, administrative or judicial developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our securities.

Risks Related to Our Capital Structure

Limited access to capital could affect our growth.

As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income. Our growth therefore is generally through the investment of new capital in real estate assets. As of December 31, 2023, we had $20.3 million of cash on hand and $97.8 million available under our unsecured revolving line of credit. We also have the ability to access the capital markets through the issuance of $76.0 million of common stock under our equity distribution agreements and an indeterminate amount through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities under an automatic shelf registration statement. We currently believe our liquidity and various sources of available capital are sufficient to fund operations and development commitments, meet debt service obligations, make dividend distributions, and finance potential investments. In the future, however, our ability to access the equity and/or debt markets could be limited. During such times, most of our available capital would be required to meet existing commitments. Limited access to the equity and/or debt markets could negatively impact our growth if we are unable to obtain additional capital, dispose of assets on favorable terms, or acquire health care properties on a competitive basis.

We could incur more debt.

We operate with a policy of incurring debt when it is advisable in the opinion of our Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2023, our indebtedness represented approximately 39.5% of our gross assets. We could incur additional debt by borrowing under our unsecured revolving line of credit, mortgaging properties we own, and/or issuing debt securities in public offerings or private transactions. The degree of indebtedness could affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or other corporate purposes and make us more vulnerable to a downturn in business or the economy generally.

Covenants related to our indebtedness could limit our operations.

The terms of our current indebtedness as well as debt instruments that we enter into in the future are subject to customary financial and operational covenants. These include requiring us to maintain debt service coverage, leverage ratios, and minimum net worth requirements. We may be unable to maintain compliance with these covenants and, if we fail to do so, we may be unable to obtain waivers and/or amend the covenants. If some or all of our debt is accelerated and becomes immediately due and payable, we may be unable repay or refinance the debt. Our continued ability to incur debt and operate our business is subject to compliance with these covenants, which could limit operational flexibility.

​

An increase in market interest rates could increase our debt cost and impact our stock price.

We have entered into debt obligations, such as our unsecured revolving line of credit and term loans, with interest and related payments that vary with the movement of certain indices. In the future, we could incur additional indebtedness in connection with the entry into new credit facilities or the financing of acquisitions or development activity. If market interest rates increase, so could our interest costs. This could make the financing of any acquisition

22

​

Table of Contents

more costly. Rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing. Further, the dividend yield on our common stock will influence its price. An increase in market interest rates could lead prospective purchasers of our common stock to expect a higher dividend yield, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Ownership through partnerships and joint ventures could limit property performance.

We have in the past and may in the future develop and/or acquire properties in partnerships and similar joint ventures, including those in which we own a preferred interest, when we believe circumstances warrant this type of investment. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we can invest in partnerships or other joint venture structures. As of December 31, 2023, we had eight active joint ventures with a total LTC equity investment of $305.6 million. Investments in partnerships and joint ventures, including limited liability companies, involve risks such as the following:

| ● | our partners could become bankrupt, in which event we and any other remaining partners would generally remain liable for the liabilities of the venture;

| ● | our partners could have economic or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business objectives;

| ● | our partners or co-members could be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions, requests or objectives, including our policy with respect to maintaining our qualification as a REIT; and

| ● | governing agreements often contain restrictions on the transfer of an interest or “buy-sell” or other provisions which could result in a purchase or sale of the interest at a disadvantageous time or on disadvantageous terms.

We generally will seek to maintain sufficient control of a partnerships or joint venture to permit us to achieve our business objectives. However, in the event that it fails to meet expectations or becomes insolvent, we could lose our investment in the partnership or joint venture.

Risks Related to Our Stock

A failure to maintain or increase our dividend could reduce the market price of our common stock.

The decision to declare and pay dividends on our common stock, as well as the timing, amount, and composition of any future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. The ability to maintain or raise the dividend on our common stock is dependent, to a large part, on growth of funds available for distribution. This growth in turn depends upon increased revenues from additional investments and loans, rental increases, and mortgage rate increases. Any change in our dividend policy could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Your ownership percentage in our common stock could be diluted.

From time to time, we could issue additional shares of our common stock in connection with sales under our equity distribution agreements or other capital market transactions. These issuances could cause your percentage ownership in our common stock to be diluted in the future and could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share and reduce the value of our common stock. Additionally, our charter authorizes us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designations, powers, privileges, preferences, including preferences over our common stock respecting dividends and distributions, terms of redemption and relative participation, optional or other rights, if any, of the shares of each such series of preferred stock and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as our Board of Directors determines. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our common stock.

​

Table of Contents

Provisions in our charter limit ownership of shares of our stock.

No more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of a REIT can be beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of each taxable year. To ensure qualification under this test, our charter provide that, subject to exceptions, no person is permitted to beneficially own more than 9.8% of outstanding shares of any class or series of our stock, including our common stock. Our Board of Directors could decide to exempt a person from the 9.8% ownership limit unless doing so would result in the termination of our status as a REIT. Shares of our stock in excess of the 9.8% ownership limitation that lack an applicable exemption may lose rights to dividends and voting, and may be subject to redemption. Additionally, acquisition of any shares of our stock that would result in our disqualification as a REIT may be limited or void. The 9.8% ownership limitation also could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of us, including a merger or acquisition or tender offer that might provide a premium price for holders of our stock.

Maryland law could increase the difficulty of acquiring us.

Provisions of Maryland law, our charter, and our bylaws could have the effect of discouraging, delaying, or preventing transactions that involve an actual or threatened change in control. These provisions include the following:

| ● | The Maryland Business Combination Act provides that unless exempted, a Maryland corporation may not engage in business combinations, including mergers, dispositions of 10% or more of its assets, certain issuances of shares of stock, and other specified transactions, with an “interested stockholder” or an affiliate of an interested stockholder for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, and thereafter unless specified criteria are met. An interested stockholder is generally a person owning or controlling, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding stock of a Maryland corporation. Our Board of Directors has not exempted us from this statute.

| ● | The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act provides that “control shares” of a corporation acquired in a control share acquisition shall have no voting rights except to the extent approved by the stockholders by a vote of two-thirds of the votes eligible to be cast on the matter under the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. “Control Shares” means shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other shares of stock previously acquired by the acquiror, would entitle the acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within certain ranges. If voting rights of control shares are not approved at a stockholder’s meeting, then subject to certain conditions and limitations, the issuer may redeem any or all of the control shares for fair value. Our bylaws contain a provision by which we have opted-out of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. However, we could, by resolutions adopted by our Board of Directors and without stockholder approval, elect to become subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act.

These and other provisions of Maryland law could increase the difficulty of acquiring us, even if the acquisition would be in the best interests of our stockholders.

General Risk Factors

We are dependent on key personnel.

Our three executive officers and other senior officers have a significant role in our success. Our ability to retain our management group or to attract suitable replacements should any member of the management group leave is dependent on the competitive nature of the employment market. The loss of services from key members of the management group or a limitation in their availability could adversely affect our business and could be negatively perceived in the capital markets.

Our investments are concentrated in a single sector.

Our investments are concentrated in health care properties. A downturn in the health care property sector could have a greater adverse effect on our business and financial condition than if we had investments in multiple industries and sectors. A downturn in the health care property sector also could adversely impact the ability of our operators to

24

​

Table of Contents

meet their obligations to us and maintain residents and occupancy rates. Additionally, a downturn in the health care property sector could adversely affect the value of our properties and our ability to sell properties at prices or on terms acceptable to us.

Disruptions in the capital markets could affect the price of our common stock and our ability to obtain financing.

The United States capital markets could experience significant price volatility, dislocations, and liquidity disruptions, due to global economic impact and infectious disease outbreaks. This has caused market prices of many securities, including our common stock, to fluctuate substantially. Uncertainty in the stock and credit markets could negatively impact our ability to access financing at reasonable terms, which could negatively impact our ability to acquire properties and otherwise pursue our investment strategy. A prolonged downturn in the stock or credit markets could cause other unknown negative impacts on us and the economy.

Catastrophic weather and natural disasters could affect our properties.

Some of our properties are located in areas susceptible to catastrophic weather and natural disasters, including fires, snow or ice storms, windstorms or hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, or other severe conditions. Adverse weather and natural events could cause damage to our properties. If our operators suffer losses from catastrophic weather or natural disasters, we could lose our invested capital and anticipated future revenue from the property.

We could incur costs associated with hazardous substances and contamination.

Under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, owners or operators of real estate could be required to investigate and remediate the effects of contamination of currently or formerly owned real estate by hazardous substances, often regardless of knowledge of or responsibility for the contamination. Although our operators are primarily responsible for the condition of the property they occupy, we also could be held liable to a governmental authority or to third parties for property damage, personal injuries, and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred in connection with the contamination or we could be required to incur additional costs to change how the property is constructed or operated due to presence of such substances. The presence of hazardous substances or a failure to properly remediate any resulting contamination could adversely affect our ability to lease, mortgage, or sell an affected property.

Information systems failures or data breaches could harm our business.

We and our operators rely on information systems to process, transmit, and store financial transactions and records, operator and lease data, and other confidential information. We are not aware of any material losses to our business or results of operations due to information system failures, data breaches, or cybersecurity incidents. However, information systems are vulnerable to threats, failures, breaches, or incidents due to improper functioning and unauthorized access from physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, and similar disruptions, including by hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists. This risk has increased since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic as we and our operators have increased reliance on information technology. We and our operators also rely on numerous third-party providers for information technology services, and we and our operators face similar risks relating to these providers. We cannot be certain that their information system and cybersecurity protocols are sufficient to withstand a data breach or cybersecurity incident. The inability to maintain proper function, security, and availability of our and our operators’ information systems and the data maintained in those systems could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, harm our business relationships, or increase our information systems, cybersecurity and insurance costs. Further, an information system or cybersecurity threat, failure, data breach, or incident on an operator could impact their operations and ability to perform under the terms of their lease with us. While we maintain insurance coverage that may, subject to policy terms and conditions including deductibles, cover specific aspects of information system and cybersecurity risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses. As information system and cybersecurity risks continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to enhance our information system and cybersecurity measures and to investigate and remediate any information system and cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Data privacy security failures or breaches could expose us to regulatory and other liability.

We and our operators are subject to various federal and state laws governing privacy and security of personally identifiable information. Despite safeguards by us and our operators, a data privacy security failure or breach could occur as a result of unintentional or deliberate acts to obtain unauthorized access to information, or to destroy, manipulate, or sabotage data. Information system threats, failures breaches, or incidents also could result in the loss or release of personally identifiable information. A privacy or cybersecurity failure or breach could cause a loss of business, regulatory enforcement, substantial legal liability, and reputational harm. Where the failure or breach affects an operator, this could jeopardize the operator’s ability to fulfill its obligations to us. Further, the adoption of new privacy and cybersecurity laws at the federal and state level could require us and our operators to incur significant compliance costs.

Item 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENT S

None.

Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity is an integral part of risk management at our company. Cybersecurity is overseen by LTC’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), along with subject matter experts serving our company including our information technology director. Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee has the responsibility and duty to review and discuss with management on a regular basis our company’s programs, policies and procedures related to information security and data protection, including data privacy and network security, as they relate to financial reporting. The Board and the Audit Committee receive reports on cybersecurity from management at least quarterly and more often as needed. These reports on cybersecurity typically encompasses the nature and threats, defense and detection capabilities, and training activities at our company.

We routinely provide education, such as simulated phishing campaigns, to our employees to mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats. This education includes cybersecurity training for new employees and training modules sent monthly to all employees. We also use various authentication technologies and third-party monitoring to mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats. We annually retain a third-party vendor to test our information systems security and we annually review information systems security protocols of our vendors that interact with our financial data. We maintain insurance coverage that may, subject to policy terms and conditions, including deductibles, cover particular aspects of cybersecurity risk, such as social engineering and computer system fraud. However, it is possible such coverage may not fully insure all future costs or losses associated with all types of cybersecurity incidents such as ransomware.

We are not aware of any material losses to our business or results of operations in the past three years due to information technology systems failures, data breaches, or other cybersecurity incidents.

Item 2. PROPERTIE S

Here and throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K wherever we provide details of our properties’ bed/unit count, the number of beds/units applies to skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, memory care and behavioral health care properties only. This number is based upon unit/bed counts shown on operating licenses provided to us by lessees/borrowers or units/beds as stipulated by lease/mortgage documents. These numbers often differ, usually not materially by property, from units/beds in operation at any point in time. The differences are caused by such things as operators converting a patient/resident room for alternative uses, such as offices or storage, or converting a multi-patient room/unit into a single patient room/unit. We monitor our properties on a routine basis through site visits and reviews of current licenses. In an instance where such change would cause a de-licensing of beds or in our opinion impact the value of the property, we may take action against the lessee/borrower to preserve the value of the property/collateral.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDING S

We are and may become from time to time a party to various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of our business, which in our opinion are not singularly or in the aggregate anticipated to be material to our results of operations or financial condition. Claims and lawsuits may include matters involving general or professional liability asserted against the lessees or borrowers of our properties, which we believe under applicable legal principles are not our responsibility as a non-possessory landlord or mortgage holder. We believe that these matters are the responsibility of our lessees and borrowers pursuant to general legal principles and pursuant to insurance and indemnification provisions in the applicable leases or mortgages. We intend to continue to vigorously defend such claims and lawsuits.

Cash flows from operating activities available for distribution to stockholders will be derived primarily from interest and rental payments from our real estate investments. All distributions will be made subject to approval of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, our financial condition and such other factors as our Board of Directors deem relevant. In order to qualify for the beneficial tax treatment accorded to REITs by Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, we are required to make distributions to holders of our shares equal to at least 90% of our REIT taxable income.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

Business and Investment Strategy

We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in seniors housing and health care properties through sale-leasebacks, financing leases, mortgage financing, joint ventures and structured finance solutions including preferred equity and mezzanine lending. We seek to create, sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in seniors housing and health care properties managed by experienced operators. Our primary seniors housing and health care property classifications include skilled nursing facilities (“SNF”), assisted living facilities (“ALF”), independent living facilities (“ILF”), memory care communities (“MC”) and combinations thereof. We also invest in other (“OTH”) types of properties, such as land parcels, projects under development (“UDP”) and behavioral health care hospitals. To meet these objectives, we attempt to invest in properties that provide opportunity for additional value and current returns to our stockholders and diversify our investment portfolio by geographic location, operator, property classification and form of investment.

We conduct and manage our business as one operating segment for internal reporting and internal decision-making purposes. For purposes of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other presentations, we generally include ALF, ILF, and MC in the ALF property classification. We have been operating since August 1992.

The following graph summarizes our gross investments as of December 31, 2023:

Substantially all of our revenues and sources of cash flows from operations are derived from operating lease rentals, interest earned on outstanding loans receivable and income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. Our investments in owned properties, financing leases, mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments represent our primary source of liquidity to fund distributions and are dependent upon the performance of the operators on their lease and loan obligations and the rates earned thereon. To the extent that the operators experience operating difficulties and are unable to generate sufficient cash to make payments to us, there could be a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, we monitor our investments through a variety of methods determined by property type and operator. Our monitoring process includes periodic review of financial statements for each facility, periodic review of operator credit, scheduled property inspections and review of covenant compliance.

32

​

Table of Contents

In addition to our monitoring and research efforts, we also structure our investments to help mitigate payment risk. Some operating leases, financing leases and loans are credit enhanced by guaranties and/or letters of credit. In addition, operating leases are typically structured as master leases and loans are generally cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with other loans, operating leases or agreements between us and the operator and its affiliates.

Depending upon the availability and cost of external capital, we anticipate making additional investments in health care related properties. New investments are generally funded from cash on hand, temporary borrowings under our unsecured revolving line of credit and internally generated cash flows. Our investments generate internal cash from rent and interest receipts and principal payments on mortgage loans receivable. Permanent financing for future investments, which replaces funds drawn under our unsecured revolving line of credit, is expected to be provided through a combination of public and private offerings of debt and equity securities and secured and unsecured debt financing. The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by financing activities and used in investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets’ environment, especially to changes in interest rates. Changes in the capital markets’ environment may impact the availability of cost-effective capital.

We believe our business model has enabled and will continue to enable us to maintain the integrity of our property investments, including in response to financial difficulties that may be experienced by operators. Traditionally, we have taken a conservative approach to managing our business, choosing to maintain liquidity and exercise patience until favorable investment opportunities arise.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $1.7 billion in carrying value of net investments, consisting of $1.0 billion or 56.7% invested in owned and leased properties, $196.0 million or 11.3% invested in properties we own accounted for as

Table of Contents

financing receivables, $477.3 million or 27.4% invested in mortgage loans secured by first mortgages, $60.5 million or 3.5% in notes receivable and $19.3 million or 1.1% in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Rental income, income from financing receivables and interest income from mortgage loans represented 64.6%, 7.7% and 24.2%, respectively, of Total revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2023. In most instances, our lease structure, which pertains to owned properties and those properties we own accounted for as financing receivables, contains fixed annual rental escalations and/or annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index. Certain leases have annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the gross operating revenues of the property. This revenue is not recognized until the appropriate contingencies have been resolved.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized a $2.1 million straight-line rental adjustment reflecting higher cash rent received than recorded as rental income and $0.8 million in amortization and write-off of lease incentives. For the remaining leases in place at December 31, 2023, assuming no modification or replacement of existing leases and no new leased investments are added to our portfolio, except for the potential subsequent lease extensions and the leases reported below under Update on Certain Operators, we currently expect that the non-cash straight-line rent portion of rental income will increase from negative $2.1 million in 2023 to negative $2.5 million for projected annual 2024. The negative non-cash straight-line portion of rental income represents higher cash rent projected to be received than recorded as rental income. Our cash rental income is projected to increase from $130.2 million in 2023 to $131.7 million for projected annual 2024. At December 31, 2023, the straight-line rent receivable balance on the consolidated balance sheet was $19.6 million.

Many of our existing leases contain renewal options that, if exercised, could result in the amount of rent payable upon renewal being greater or less than that currently being paid.

Terminated Lease

During 2023, Brookdale Senior Living Communities, Inc. (“Brookdale”) elected not to exercise its renewal option under a master lease that matured on December 31, 2023. See Update on Certain Operators below for discussion regarding the Brookdale portfolio.

Lease Renewals and Extensions

| (a) | a master lease covering two skilled nursing centers that was scheduled to mature in 2023 was renewed at the contractual rate for another five years extending the maturity to November 2028. The centers have a total of 216 beds and are located in Florida.

| (b) | a master lease covering two skilled nursing centers that was scheduled to mature in 2023 was renewed for another two years extending the maturity to December 2025. The master lease was renewed at the contractual annual cash rent of $1.8 million increasing 2.5% per year. As amended, this master lease provides the lessee with a purchase option available through December 31, 2024. The centers have a total of 141 beds and are located in Tennessee.

| (c) | a master lease covering three skilled nursing centers that was scheduled to mature in 2024 was renewed at the contractual rate for another five years extending the maturity to August 2029. The centers have a total of 613 beds and are located in Arizona.

Subsequent to December 31, 2023, a master lease covering 11 skilled nursing centers that was scheduled to mature in January 2024 was renewed for seven months extending the maturity to August 2024. The master lease was renewed at the current annualized rent of $8.0 million, or $4.7 million for seven months in 2024. The centers have a total of 1,444 beds and are located in Texas.

Transitioned Portfolios

During 2023, we transitioned a portfolio of eight assisted living communities with 500 units in Illinois, Ohio

​

Table of Contents

and Michigan to Encore Senior Living (“Encore”). We agreed to provide assistance in the second quarter of 2023 to the former operator of this portfolio and as part of transition, we received repayment of $1.2 million of deferred rent which represents $0.9 million of April and May 2023 deferred rent and $0.3 million of unrecorded deferred rent provided in 2022. Cash rent under the new two-year lease with Encore is based on mutually agreed upon fair market rent.

Subsequent to December 31, 2023, we transitioned two assisted living communities, which are located in Georgia and South Carolina with a total of 159 units, to an operator new to LTC. The new two-year master lease commenced on January 1, 2024, and provides two one-year extension periods. Cash rent is zero for the first six months. Thereafter, cash rent is based on mutually agreed upon fair market rent.

Some of our lease agreements provide purchase options allowing the lessees to purchase the properties they currently lease from us. See Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS— Note 5. Real Estate Investments. Owned Properties for a table that includes information about purchase options included in our lease agreements.

Update on Certain Operators

Anthem Memory Care

Anthem Memory Care (“Anthem”) operates 11 memory care communities under a master lease and was placed in default in 2017 resulting from Anthem’s partial payment of its minimum rent. However, we did not enforce our rights and remedies pertaining to the event of default, under the stipulation that Anthem achieves sufficient performance and pays agreed upon rent. Anthem increased their rent payment every year between 2017 and 2021. During the second and third quarter of 2022, we agreed to a certain temporary rent reduction totaling $1.5 million. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we received payment of Anthem’s $1.5 million temporary rent reduction and a return to Anthem’s previously agreed upon rent of $0.9 million per month. Anthem paid us the agreed upon annual cash rent of $10.8 million in 2022 and 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Anthem master lease was amended to set 2024 rent at $10.8 million.

During the first quarter of 2023, we transitioned a 60-unit memory care community located in Ohio to Anthem under a new two-year lease. Under the new two-year lease, no rent was paid through May 2023 after which cash rent is based on mutually agreed upon fair market rent. We received $105,000 from Anthem under this lease and expect to receive $240,000 during 2024.

Brookdale Senior Living Communities, Inc

As discussed above, Brookdale elected not to exercise its renewal option under a master lease that matured on December 31, 2023. The 35-property assisted living portfolio was apportioned as follows:

| ● | We re-leased 17 communities with a total of 738 units to Brookdale under a new master lease. This new master lease includes six properties in Colorado, six properties in Texas, four in Kansas and one in Ohio. The new master lease, which commenced in January 2024, is for six years at an initial annual rent of $9.3 million, escalating by approximately 2% annually. The lease includes a purchase option that can be exercised in 2029. We also agreed to fund $7.2 million for capital expenditures for the first two and a half years of the lease at an initial rate of 8.0%, escalating by approximately 2.0% annually thereafter;

​

| ● | Five communities in Oklahoma, with a total of 184 units, were transferred and are now being operated by an existing LTC operator. The new master lease, which commenced in November 2023, is for three years, with one four-year extension, at an initial annual rent of $960,000, increasing to $984,000 in the second year, and $1.2 million in the third year. Additionally, the new master lease includes a purchase option that can be exercised starting in November 2027 through October 2029 if the lessee exercises its four-year extension option;

​

| ● | Five communities in North Carolina, with a total of 210 units, were transferred and are now being operated by an operator new to us. The new master lease, which commenced in January 2024, is for six years at an initial annual rent of $3.3 million, escalating 3.0% annually thereafter; and

​

| ● | Eight communities across three states including four in Florida, three in South Carolina and one in Oklahoma with a total of 341 units, were sold for $28.0 million. We received proceeds of $23.2 million, net of transaction costs and seller financing. We provided seller financing collateralized by two of the Florida properties, with a

|  | total of 92 units. The $4.0 million seller-financed mortgage loan is two years, with a one-year extension, at an interest rate of 8.75%.

Prestige Healthcare

Prestige Healthcare (“Prestige”) operates 22 skilled nursing centers located in Michigan secured under four mortgage loans and two skilled nursing centers located in South Carolina under a master lease. Prestige is our largest operator based upon revenues and assets representing 16.6% of our total revenues and 14.3% of our total assets as of December 31, 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, we agreed to defer up to $1.5 million, or up to $0.3 million per month for May through September 2023, in interest payments due on one of Prestige’s mortgage loans secured by 15 skilled nursing centers in Michigan. We deferred $0.6 million and $0.9 million in interest payments during the second and third quarter of 2023, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, we amended the mortgage loan with Prestige which was subject to the previously agreed upon interest deferral. Effective January 1, 2024, the minimum mortgage interest payment due to us is based on an annual current pay rate of 8.5% on the outstanding loan balance of $183.3 million. The current contractual interest rate on the loan of 10.8% remains unchanged. The amendment also provides us the right to draw on Prestige’s security to pay the difference between the contractual rate and current pay rate. We received all 2023 contractual interest of $19.5 million due from Prestige after applying $3.4 million of its security. Full contractual interest has been paid on the loan through February 2024 and we expect to receive full contractual cash interest through 2025. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, Prestige increased the security from its receipt of retro-active Medicaid funds. Accordingly, we currently hold security of $4.0 million. Additional retro-active Medicaid payments received by Prestige in 2024 will be remitted to us as security.

Other Operators

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we provided $2.6 million of abated rent to the same operator for which we have been providing assistance. During 2023, we received $0.3 million of rental income and expect to receive the same $0.3 million in 2024.

During the third quarter of 2022, a portfolio of 12 assisted living communities was temporarily transitioned to an existing operator under a two-year master lease. The temporary transition allowed us to find a more permanent solution for the portfolio as follows:

| ● | Two of the properties located in Mississippi and Florida were sold during 2023;

| ● | One community located in Texas is being negotiated for transition to another operator new to LTC;

| ● | Five communities located in Texas are expected to be sold for $1.6 million under an agreement signed subsequent to December 31, 2023;

| ● | Two communities located in Texas are being considered for sale for alternative uses. One of these properties is closed and the other is expected to be closed; and

| ● | Two of the communities located in Georgia and South Carolina were transitioned to an operator new to us subsequent to December 31, 2023. The lease term is two years with two one-year extension options. The initial rent for the first six months is zero, after which rent will be based on mutually agreed upon fair market rent. The master lease includes a purchase option than can be exercised in 2027 if the two one-year extensions are exercised.

In conjunction with the ongoing negotiations related to this portfolio, during the fourth quarter of 2023, we wrote-off a $3.6 million note receivable related to this master lease. Further, we recorded an impairment loss of $3.3 million to reduce the carrying value of seven of the Texas communities which were being negotiated for sale. As of December 31, 2023, these communities did not meet the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale.

2023 Transactions Overview

The following tables summarizes our transactions in 2023 (dollar amounts in thousand):

Investment in Owned Properties

During 2023, we entered into a $54.1 million joint venture (“JV”) and contributed $45.0 million into the JV that purchased an independent living, assisted living and memory care campus in Ohio. Under the JV agreement, the seller, our JV partner, has the option to purchase the campus between the third and fourth lease years for LTC’s allocation of the JV investment plus an IRR of 9.75%. The campus was leased to Encore under a 10-year term with an initial yield of 8.25% on LTC’s allocation of the JV investment. We committed to fund $2.1 million of lease incentives under the Encore lease of which $1.5 million was funded during 2023.

Key Performance Indicators, Trends and Uncertainties

We utilize several key performance indicators to evaluate the various aspects of our business. These indicators are discussed below and relate to concentration risk and credit strength. Management uses these key performance indicators to facilitate internal and external comparisons to our historical operating results in making operating decisions and for budget planning purposes.

Concentration Risk. We evaluate by gross real estate investment our concentration risk in terms of asset mix, real estate investment mix, operator mix and geographic mix. Concentration risk is valuable to understand what portion of our real estate investments could be at risk if certain sectors were to experience downturns. Asset mix measures the

39

portion of our real estate investments that are real property or mortgage loans. Investment mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our various property types. Operator mix measures the portion of our real estate investments that relate to our top five operators. Geographic mix measures the portion of our real estate investment that relate to our top five states.

Credit Strength. We measure our credit strength both in terms of leverage ratios and coverage ratios. Our leverage ratios include debt to gross asset value and debt to market capitalization. The leverage ratios indicate how much of our Consolidated Balance Sheet capitalization is related to long-term obligations. Our coverage ratios include interest coverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. The coverage ratios indicate our ability to service interest and fixed charges (interest). The coverage ratios are based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) as defined by National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). EBITDAre is calculated as net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) real estate depreciation and amortization, (iv) impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, (v) gains or losses on the sale of depreciable real estate, and (vi) adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjusted EBITDAre is calculated as EBITDAre adjusted for non-recurring items. Leverage ratios and coverage ratios are widely used by investors, analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. The following table reflects the recent historical trends for our credit strength measures:

EBITDA re and Adjusted EBITDA re are not alternatives to net income, operating income or cash flows from operating activities as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should not rely on EBITDA re and Adjusted EBITDA re as a substitute for any such GAAP financial measures or consider it in isolation, for the purpose of analyzing our financial performance, financial position or cash flows. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA re and Adjusted EBITDA re.

Funds From Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders, basic FFO attributable to common stockholders per share and diluted FFO attributable to common stockholders per share are supplemental measures of a REIT’s financial performance that are not defined by GAAP. Real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, but cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. We believe that by excluding the effect of historical cost depreciation, which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods.

We use FFO as a supplemental performance measurement of our cash flow generated by operations. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income available to common stockholders.

We calculate and report FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, means net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on the sale of real estate and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from us; therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing our FFO to that of other REITs.

The following table reconciles net income available to common stockholders to FFO attributable to common stockholders (unaudited, amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies are more fully described under Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Footnote 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. As discussed in Footnote 2, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Listed below are those policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of significant judgement in their application.

45

​

Table of Contents

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Assets that are classified as held-for-use are periodically evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired or the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable through future undiscounted cash flows. Where indicators of impairment exist, the estimation required in the undiscounted future cash flow assumption includes management’s probability-weighting of various scenarios such as modifying the lease with the existing operator, identifying a replacement operator or sale of the real property investment. In addition, the undiscounted future cash flows include management’s assumptions of rental revenues, net operating income, capitalization rates and expected hold periods. In determining fair value, we use current appraisals or other third-party opinions of value and other estimates of fair value such as estimated discounted future cash flows.

Collectability of operator obligations

We assess the collectability of substantially all our lease payments through maturity. If collectability is not probable, all or a portion of our straight-line rent receivables and other lease receivables may be written-off. In order to assess our lease payments for collectability, we make assumptions that include evaluating lessee’s payment history, the financial strength of the lessee, future market conditions and contractual rents, and timing of expected payments. Our ability to accurately predict collectability of substantially all of our lease payments impacts the timing of straight-line rent and other lease receivable write-offs, if any. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Purchase Price Allocation

We make estimates as part of our allocation of the purchase price of acquisitions to the various components of the acquisition based upon the fair value of each component. In determining fair value, we use current appraisals or other third-party opinions of value. The most significant components of our allocations are typically the allocation of fair value to land and buildings and, for certain of our acquisitions, in-place leases and other intangible assets. In the case of the fair value of buildings and the allocation of value to land and other intangibles, the estimates of the values of these components will affect the amount of depreciation and amortization we record over the estimated useful life of the property acquired or the remaining lease term. We evaluate each purchase transaction to determine whether the acquired assets meet the definition of an asset acquisition or a business combination. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that are not deemed to be business combinations are included in the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs related to acquisitions that are deemed to be business combinations are expensed as incurred.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash

As of December 31, 2023, we had a total of $20.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, $97.8 million available under our unsecured revolving line of credit and the potential ability to access the capital markets through the issuance of $76.0 million of common stock under our Equity Distribution Agreements. Furthermore, we have the ability to access the capital markets through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities under an automatic shelf registration statement.

We believe that our current cash balance, cash flow from operations available for distribution or reinvestment, our borrowing capacity and our potential ability to access the capital markets are sufficient to provide for payment of our current operating costs, meet debt obligations and pay common dividends at least sufficient to maintain our REIT status and repay borrowings at, or prior to, their maturity. The timing, source and amount of cash flows used by financing and investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets’ environment, especially to changes in interest rates. In addition, the slow recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and inflationary pressure have adversely affected and are expected to continue to adversely affect our operators’ business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition which could, in turn, adversely affect our financial position.

The operating results of the properties will be impacted by various factors over which the operators/owners may have no control. Those factors include, without limitation, the health of the economy, inflation pressures, employee availability and cost, changes in supply of or demand for competing seniors housing and health care facilities, ability to

Table of Contents

hire and maintain qualified staff, ability to control rising operating costs, and the potential for significant reforms in the health care industry, and the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and related occupancy challenges faced by our industry. In addition, our future growth in net income and cash flow may be adversely impacted by various proposals for changes in the governmental regulations and financing of the health care industry or the impact of any other infectious disease and epidemic outbreaks. We cannot presently predict what impact these potential events may have, if any. We believe that adequate provision has been made for the possibility of loans proving uncollectable but we will continually evaluate the financial status of the operations of the seniors housing and health care properties. In addition, we will monitor our borrowers and the underlying collateral for mortgage loans and will make future revisions to the provision, if considered necessary.

Depending on our borrowing capacity, compliance with financial covenants, ability to access the capital markets, and the payment of dividends may be negatively impacted. We continuously evaluate the availability of cost-effective capital and believe we have sufficient liquidity for our current dividend, corporate expenses and additional capital investments in 2024.

Our investments, principally our investments in owned properties, financing leases and mortgage loans, are subject to the possibility of loss of their carrying values as a result of changes in market prices, interest rates and inflationary expectations. The effects on interest rates may affect our costs of financing our operations and the fair market value of our financial assets. Generally, our leases have agreed upon annual increases and our loans have predetermined increases in interest rates. Inasmuch as we may initially fund some of our investments with variable interest rate debt, we would be at risk of net interest margin deterioration if medium and long-term rates were to increase.

Our primary sources of cash include rent and interest receipts, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, public and private issuance of debt and equity securities, proceeds from investment dispositions and principal payments on loans receivable. Our primary uses of cash include dividend distributions, debt service payments (including principal and interest), real property investments (including acquisitions, capital expenditures and construction advances), loan advances and general and administrative expenses. These sources and uses of cash are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as summarized below (in thousands):

Debt Obligations

Unsecured Credit Facility. We have an unsecured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for an aggregate commitment of the lenders of up to $500.0 million comprising of a $400.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Line of Credit”) and two $50.0 million term loans (the “Term Loans”). The Credit Agreement permits us to request increases to the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loans commitments up to a total of $1.0 billion. The Term Loans mature on November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026. The Revolving Line of Credit had a maturity date of November 19, 2025 and provided a one-year extension option at our discretion, subject to customary conditions. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we entered into the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points (“Adjusted SOFR”), as the reference rate for purpose of calculating interest under the agreement. Other material terms of the Credit Agreement remained unchanged. Further, subsequent to December 31, 2023, we entered into a Second Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to accelerate the one-year extension option notice to January 4, 2024. Concurrently, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement, as amended to November 19, 2026.

Based on our leverage at December 31, 2023, the Revolving Line of Credit provides for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 115 points and a facility fee of 20 basis point and the Term Loans provide for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 135 points.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement. In connection with entering into the Term Loans as discussed above, we entered into two receive variable/pay fixed interest rate swap agreements (“Interest Rate Swaps”) with maturities of November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026, respectively, that will effectively lock-in the forecasted interest payments on the Term Loan borrowings over the four and five year terms of the loans. The Interest Rate Swaps are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair value of these instruments recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with entering into the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement discussed above, we entered into amendments to our Interest Rate Swaps to account for SOFR as the updated reference rate in the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Equity

Non-controlling Interests. We have entered into partnerships to develop and/or own real estate. Given that our limited members do not have substantive kick-out rights, liquidation rights, or participation rights, we have concluded that the partnerships are VIEs. Since we exercise power over and receive benefits from the VIEs, we are considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we consolidate the VIEs and record the non-controlling interests at cost. As of December 31, 2023, we have the following consolidated VIEs (in thousands):

Stock Based Compensation Plans. During 2021, we adopted, and our shareholders approved the 2021 Equity Participation Plan (the “2021 Plan”) which replaces the 2015 Equity Participation Plan (the “2015 Plan”). Under the 2021 Plan, 1,900,000 shares of common stock have been authorized and reserved for awards, less one share for every one share that was subject to an award granted under the 2015 Plan after December 31, 2020 and prior to adoption. In addition, any shares that are not issued under outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan because the shares were forfeited or cancelled after December 31, 2020 will be added to and again be available for awards under the 2021 Plan. Under the 2021 Plan, the shares were authorized and reserved for awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The terms of the awards granted under the 2021 Plan and the 2015 Plan are set by our compensation committee at its discretion.

Restricted Stock and Performance-based Stock Units. During 2023, we granted 232,887 shares of restricted common stock and performance-based stock units under the 2021 Plan as follows:

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates as they relate to our mortgage loans receivable and debt. Interest rate risk is sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control.

We do not utilize forward or option contracts, or foreign currencies or commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments, with exception of interest rate swaps, nor do we engage in “off-balance sheet” transactions. The purpose of the following disclosure is to provide a framework to understand our sensitivity to hypothetical changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2023.

Our future earnings, cash flows and estimated fair values relating to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market rates of interest, such as SOFR or term rates of U.S. Treasury Notes. Changes in interest rates generally impact the fair value, but not future earnings or cash flows, of mortgage loans receivable and fixed rate debt. Our mortgage loans receivable and debt, such as our senior unsecured notes, are primarily fixed-rate instruments. Also, we have two interest rate swap agreements to effectively lock-in the forecasted interest payments on our term loans which are based on SOFR. For variable rate debt, such as our revolving line of credit, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value but do affect future earnings and cash flows. As of December 31, 2023, the interest rates for 66.1% of our consolidated borrowings were fixed or swap-fixed with interest rate swaps. As of December 31, 2023, the interest expense for our variable rate borrowings that are not hedged would increase by $3.1 million per year for every 1% increase in the related benchmark interest rate.

​

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2023, the fair value of our financing receivables using a 7.6% discount rate was approximately $199.2 million. A 1% increase in such rate would decrease their estimated fair value by $6.3 million while a 1% decrease in such rate would increase their value by $6.6 million. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of our mortgage loans receivable using a 9.2% discount rate was approximately $555.0 million. A 1% increase in such rate would decrease the estimated fair value of our mortgage loans by approximately $32.0 million while a 1% decrease in such rate would increase their estimated fair value by approximately $36.3 million. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of our notes receivable using a 6.9% discount rate approximately $67.9 million. A 1% increase in such rate would decrease the estimated fair value of our notes receivable by approximately $1.9 million. while a 1% decrease in such rate would increase their estimated fair value by approximately $2.0 million. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of our senior unsecured notes using a 6.5% discount rate for those maturing before year 2030 and 6.75% discount rate for those maturing at or beyond year 2030 was approximately $439.9 million. A 1% increase in such rate would decrease the estimated fair value of our senior unsecured notes by approximately $17.0 million while a 1% decrease in such rate would increase their estimated fair value by approximately $18.0 million. These discount rates were measured based upon management’s estimates of rates currently prevailing for comparable loans available to us and instruments of comparable maturities.

The estimated impact of changes in interest rates discussed above are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing costs, lending rates and current U.S. Treasury rates from which our financial instruments may be priced. We do not believe that future market rate risks related to our financial instruments will be material to our financial position or results of operations. These analyses do not consider the effects of industry specific events, changes in the real estate markets, or other overall economic activities that could increase or decrease the fair value of our financial instruments. If such events or changes were to occur, we would consider taking actions to mitigate and/or reduce any negative exposure to such changes. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our capital structure.

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of LTC Properties, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LTC Properties, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 15, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

| ​ ​
Impairment of Real Property Investments
Description of the Matter | At December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the Company’s real property investments was $1.0 billion. As discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, the real property investments are periodically evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired or the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When impairment indicators are identified, the Company evaluates whether the carrying value of the related assets are recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. Auditing the Company’s evaluation of whether its real estate investments are recoverable was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity in evaluating management’s assumptions in estimating undiscounted future cash flows as they are based on assumptions about future market and economic conditions. The estimation

​

Table of Contents

| required in the undiscounted future cash flow assumptions includes the Company’s probability-weighting of various scenarios such as modifying the lease with the existing operator, identifying a replacement operator, or sale of the real property investment in addition to assumptions of rental revenues, capitalization rates and expected hold periods.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls over the Company’s real property investments impairment assessment process. For example, we tested controls over management’s process for estimating and evaluating the assumptions used in the calculations of the future undiscounted cash flows for real property investments where impairment indicators existed. For real property investments with identified indicators of impairment, we performed audit procedures over the Company’s estimation of the real property investments’ undiscounted future cash flows. For example, we compared significant assumptions used to estimate future cash flows to the Company’s historical accounting records or to available market data. We also tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s forecasted cash flows. Additionally, for certain assumptions, we assess management’s sensitivity analyses to evaluate the changes in the undiscounted cash flows of the real property investments that would result from changes in the assumptions. ​

1. The Company

LTC Properties, Inc. (“LTC” or the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, commenced operations on August 25, 1992. LTC is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests primarily in seniors housing and health care properties primarily through sale-leasebacks, mortgage financing, joint ventures and structured finance solutions including preferred equity and mezzanine lending. We conduct and manage our business as one operating segment, rather than multiple operating segments, for internal reporting and internal decision-making purposes. Our primary objectives are to create, sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in seniors housing and health care properties managed by experienced operators. Our primary seniors housing and health care property classifications include skilled nursing centers (“SNF”), assisted living communities (“ALF”), independent living communities (“ILF”), memory care communities (“MC”) and combinations thereof. We also invest in other (“OTH”) types of properties, such as land parcels, projects under development (“UDP”) and behavioral health care hospitals. ILF, ALF, MC and combinations thereof are included in the ALF classification.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LTC, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and our consolidated companies. All intercompany investments, accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Any reference to the number of properties or facilities, number of units, number of beds, number of operators, and yield on investments in real estate are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Consolidation. At inception, and on an ongoing basis, as circumstances indicate the need for reconsideration, we evaluate each legal entity that is not wholly-owned by us for consolidation, first under the variable interest entity (“VIE”), then under the voting model. Our evaluation considers all of our variable interests, including common or preferred equity ownership, loans, and other participating instruments. The variable interest model applies to entities that meet certain criteria.

If an entity is determined to be a VIE, we evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and benefits. We consolidate a VIE if we have both power and benefits - that is (i) we have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance (power), and (ii) we have the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits). If we have a variable interest in a VIE but we are not the primary beneficiary, we account for our investment using the equity method of accounting.

If a legal entity does not meet the characteristics of a VIE, we evaluate such entity under the voting interest model. Under the voting interest model, we consolidate the entity if we, directly or indirectly, have greater than 50% of the voting shares.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) requires the classification of non-controlling interests as a component of consolidated equity in the consolidated balance sheet subject to the provisions of the rules governing classification and measurement of redeemable securities. The guidance requires consolidated net income to be reported at the amounts attributable to both the controlling and non-controlling interests. The calculation of earnings per share will be based on income amounts attributable to the controlling interest.

Use of Estimates. Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those

estimates. Our most significant assumptions and estimates are related to the valuation of real estate, purchase price allocation of acquired assets, revenue recognition including the collectability of tenant receivables and asset impairment.

Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased and are stated at cost which approximates market.

Owned Properties. We make estimates as part of our allocation of the purchase price of acquisitions to the various components of the acquisition based upon the fair value of each component. In determining fair value, we use current appraisals or other third-party opinions of value. The most significant components of our allocations are typically the allocation of fair value to land and buildings and, for certain of our acquisitions, in-place leases and other intangible assets. In the case of the fair value of buildings and the allocation of value to land and other intangibles, the estimates of the values of these components will affect the amount of depreciation and amortization we record over the estimated useful life of the property acquired or the remaining lease term. We evaluate each purchase transaction to determine whether the acquired assets meet the definition of an asset acquisition or a business combination. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that are not deemed to be business combinations are included in the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs related to acquisitions that are deemed to be business combinations are expensed as incurred.

We capitalize direct construction and development costs, including predevelopment costs, interest, property taxes, insurance and other costs directly related and essential to the acquisition, development or construction of a real estate asset. We capitalize construction and development costs while substantive activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. We consider a construction project as substantially complete and held available for occupancy upon the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, or after development activities have ceased, are expensed as incurred. For redevelopment, renovation and expansion of existing operating properties, we capitalize the cost for the construction and improvement incurred in connection with the redevelopment, renovation and expansion. Costs previously capitalized related to abandoned acquisitions or developments are charged to earnings. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 5 years for computers, 5 to 15 years for furniture and equipment, 35 to 50 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for site improvements, 10 to 50 years for building improvements and the respective lease term for acquired lease intangibles.

Financing Receivables. As part of our acquisitions, we may from time to time, invest in sale and leaseback transactions. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases (“ACS 842”), we are required to determine whether the sale and leaseback transaction qualifies as a sale. ASC 842 clarifies that an option for the seller-lessee to repurchase a real estate asset would generally preclude accounting for the transfer of the asset as a sale. Therefore, a sale and leaseback transaction of real estate that includes a seller-lessee repurchase option is accounted for as a failed sale and leaseback transaction. As a result, the purchased assets of a failed sale and leaseback transaction would be presented as a Financing receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and the rental revenue from these properties is recorded as Interest income from financing receivables on our Consolidated Statements of Income. Furthermore, upon expiration of the purchase option if the purchase option remains unexercised by the seller-lessee, the purchased assets will be reclassified from Financing receivables to Real property investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Financing receivables are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

Mortgage Loans Receivable, Net of Loan Loss Reserve. Mortgage loans receivable we originate are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

Intangible Assets. As previously discussed, we make estimates as part of our allocation of the purchase price of an acquisition to various components of the acquisition based on the fair market value of each component. Occasionally, we may allocate a portion of the purchase price as in-place leases or other intangibles. In the case of the value of in-place leases, we make the best estimates based on the evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors

considered include estimates of carrying costs during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.

Working Capital Loans. Our investment in working capital loans consists of loan arrangements with interest ranging between 4.0% and 7.5% and maturities between 2024 and 2031.

Mezzanine Loans. Mezzanine financing sits between senior debt and common equity in the capital structure, and typically is used to finance development projects or value-add opportunities on existing operational properties. We seek market-based, risk-adjusted rates of return typically between 8-12% with the loan term typically four to five years. Security for mezzanine loans can include all or a portion of the following credit enhancements; secured second mortgage, pledge of equity interests and personal/corporate guarantees. Mezzanine loans are recorded for GAAP purposes as either a loan, under notes receivable, or joint venture (“JV”), under investment in unconsolidated JVs, depending upon specifics of the loan terms and related credit enhancements.

Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. From time to time, we provide funding to third-party operators for the acquisition, development and construction (“ADC”) of a property. Under an ADC arrangement, we may participate in the residual profits of the project through the sale or refinancing of the property. These ADC arrangements can have characteristics similar to a loan or similar to a JV or partnership such as participating in the risks and rewards of the project as an owner or an investment partner. If the ADC arrangement characteristics are more similar to a jointly-owned investment or partnership, we account for the ADC arrangement as an investment in an unconsolidated JV under the equity method of accounting or a direct investment (consolidated basis of accounting) instead of applying loan accounting.

We evaluate our ADC arrangements first pursuant to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, to determine whether the ADC arrangement meets the definition of a VIE, as explained above, and whether we are the primary beneficiary. If the ADC arrangement is deemed to be a VIE but we are not the primary beneficiary, or if it is deemed to be a voting interest entity but we do not have a controlling financial interest, we account for our investment in the ADC arrangement using the equity method. Under the equity method, we initially record our investment at cost and subsequently recognize our share of net earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, cash contributions made and distributions received, and other adjustments, as appropriate. Allocations of net income or loss may be subject to preferred returns or allocation formulas defined in operating agreements and may not be according to percentage ownership interests. In certain circumstances where we have a substantive profit-sharing arrangement which provides a priority return on our investment, a portion of our equity in earnings may consist of a change in our claim on the net assets of the underlying JV. Distributions of operating profit from the JVs are reported as part of operating cash flows, while distributions related to a capital transaction, such as a refinancing transaction or sale, are reported as investing activities. Currently we do not have any ADC arrangements.

We periodically perform evaluation of our investment in unconsolidated JVs to determine whether the fair value of each investment is less than the carrying value, and, if such decrease in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, we write the investment down to its estimated fair value as of the measurement date.

Loan Loss Reserve. ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (“ASC 326”) requires a forward looking “expected loss” model to be used for receivables, held-to-maturity debt, loans, and other instruments. When shared risk characteristics exist, ASC 326 requires a collective basis measurement of expected credit losses of the financial assets.

We determined our Mortgage loans receivable, Financing receivables and Notes receivable are within the scope of this ASC. We utilize the probability of default and discounted cash flow methods to estimate expected credit losses. Additionally, we stress-test the results to reflect the impact of unknown adverse future events including recessions.

We elected not to measure an allowance for expected credit losses on accrued interest receivable under the expected credit loss standard as we have a policy in place to reserve or write off accrued interest receivable in a timely manner through our quarterly review of the loan and property performance. Therefore, we elected the policy to write off

63

​

accrued interest receivable by recognizing credit loss expense. As of December 31, 2023, the total balance of accrued interest receivable of $53,960,000 was not included in the measurement of expected credit loss. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not recognize any write-off related to accrued interest receivable.

Accrued incentives. As part of our acquisitions and/or amendments, we may commit to provide contingent payments to our sellers or lessees, upon the properties achieving certain rent coverage ratios. Typically, when the contingent incentive payments are funded, cash rent will increase by the amount funded multiplied by a rate stipulated in the agreement. If it is deemed probable, the contingent payment is recorded as a liability at the estimate fair value calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis and accreted to the settlement amount of the estimated payment date. If the contingent payment is provided to the lessee, the payment is recorded as a lease incentive included in the Prepaid expenses and other assets line item on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and is amortized as a yield adjustment over the life of the lease. The fair value of these contingent liabilities is evaluated on a quarterly basis based on changes in estimates of future operating results and changes in market discount rates. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement.

Impairments. Assets that are classified as held-for-use are periodically evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired or the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable through future undiscounted cash flows. Where indicators of impairment exist, the estimation required in the undiscounted future cash flow assumption includes management’s probability-weighting of various scenarios including whether management modifies the lease with the existing operator versus identifying a replacement operator and the assumed market lease rate underlying projected future rental cash flows. In determining fair value, we use current appraisals or other third-party opinions of value and other estimates of fair value such as estimated discounted future cash flows. Based on our assessment, during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we recognized impairment losses of $15,775,000, $3,422,000 and $0, respectively, related to our real property investments.

Properties held-for-sale. Properties classified as held-for-sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets include only those properties available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes that it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year. Properties held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. No depreciation expense is recognized on properties held-for-sale once they have been classified as such. Only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Examples include the disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment. We have not reclassified results of operations for properties disposed as discontinued operations as these disposals do not represent strategic shifts in our operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The FASB requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair market value amounts presented in the notes to these consolidated financial statements do not represent our underlying carrying value in financial instruments.

The FASB provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The FASB emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset

64

​

Table of Contents

​

or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices).

The fair value guidance issued by the FASB excludes accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement. However, this scope exception does not apply to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that are required to be measured at fair value, regardless of whether those assets and liabilities are related to leases.

In accordance with the accounting guidance regarding the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, entities are permitted to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected reported in earnings. We have not elected the fair value option for any of our financial assets or liabilities.

The FASB requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. See Note 15. Fair Value Measurements for the disclosure about the fair value of our financial instruments.

Derivative Instruments. As of December 31, 2023, we had two interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk with a total notional amount of $100,000,000. See Note 9. Debt Obligations within our consolidated financial statements for further detail on our interest rate swaps. We record cash flow hedges either as an asset or a liability measured at fair value. If hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument, the entire change in the fair value of the derivative designated and qualified as cash flow hedge is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We estimate the fair value of our interest rate swaps using the assistance of a third-party using inputs that are observable in the market which include forward yield curves and other relevant information. Additionally, we are exposed to credit risk of the counterparty to our interest rate swap agreements in the event of non-performance under the terms of the agreements. We have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivative instruments fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts as the market transitions from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The practical expedients are optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which defers the sunset date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024.

In December 2022, we amended our unsecured credit agreement to update the benchmark provisions to replace LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus a credit spread of 10 basis points, as the reference rate for the purpose of calculating interest under the agreement. In connection with amending the unsecured credit agreement, we also amended our fixed interest rate swap agreements to update reference rate to SOFR. As a result, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients maintains the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the ASU and may apply other elections, as applicable, as additional changes in the market occur. Our election to apply the hedge accounting expedients did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 9. Debt Obligations within our consolidated financial statements for further detail on our unsecured credit agreement.

Revenue Recognition- Rental Income. Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Substantially all of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and are generally computed in one of four methods depending on specific provisions of each lease as follows:

| (i) | a specified annual increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 2.0% and 3.0%;

65

​

Table of Contents

​

| (ii) | a calculation based on the Consumer Price Index or the Medicare Market Basket Rate;

| (iii) | as a percentage of facility revenues in excess of base amounts or

| (iv) | specific dollar increases.

The FASB does not permit recognition of contingent revenue until the contingencies have been resolved. Historically, we have not included contingent rents as income until received and we will continue our historical policy. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we received $56,000, $57,000 and $0, respectively, of contingent rental income. In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, we report real estate taxes that are reimbursed by our operators as Rental income with a corresponding Property tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Furthermore, we assess the collectability of substantially all of our lease payments through maturity and if collectability is not probable, all or a portion of our straight-line rent receivable and other lease receivables may be written off and the rental income during the period would be limited to the lesser of the income that would have been recognized if collection were probable, and the lease payments received. Our assessment of collectability of leases includes evaluating the data and assumptions used in determining whether substantially all of the future lease payments were probable based on the lessee’s payment history, the financial strength of the lessees, future contractual rents, and the timing of expected payments.

Revenue Recognition- Interest Income. Interest income on mortgage loans receivable and notes receivable is recognized using the effective interest method. Exit fee income and commitment fee income are also amortized over the life of the related loan under the effective interest method. Effective interest method, as required by GAAP, is a technique for calculating the actual interest rate for the term of a mortgage loan based on the initial origination value. When the actual interest rate is higher than the stated interest rate in the early years of the mortgage loan, an effective interest receivable asset is created and included in the Interest receivable line item in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and begins reducing down to zero when, at some point during the mortgage loan, the stated interest rate is higher than the actual interest rate. We consider a loan to be non-performing after 60 days of non-payment of amounts due and do not recognize unpaid interest income from that loan until the past due amounts have been received.

As previously discussed under Financing Receivables above, rental income from properties acquired through a sale leaseback, subject to a seller-lessee repurchase option, is recorded as Interest income from financing receivables on our Consolidated Statements of Income. Interest income on financing receivables is recognized using the effective interest method. The recognition of interest income will stop when the Financing receivables are reclassified to Real estate investments if the purchase options remain unexercised upon expiration of the purchase options.

Gains on sale of Real Estate, Net. Recognition of gains or losses from sales of investments in real estate requires that we:

| a) | meet certain revenue recognition criteria in accordance with ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets; and

| b) | transfer control of the real estate to the buyer.

The gain or loss recorded is measured as the difference between the sales price, less costs to sell, and the carrying value of the real estate when we sell it.

Federal Income Taxes. LTC qualifies as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and as such, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made. A REIT is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders and a REIT may deduct dividends in computing taxable income. If a REIT distributes 100% of its taxable income and complies with other Internal Revenue Code requirements, it will generally not be subject to Federal income taxation.

For Federal tax purposes, depreciation for a majority of our assets is generally calculated using the straight-line method over a period 27.5 years. Earnings profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders, use the straight-line method over 30 years. The determination of Federal taxable income differ from net income for financial statement purposes principally due to the treatment of certain investments in joint ventures, timing of interest income,

66

​

Table of Contents

​

rental income, other expense items, recognition of impairment charges, and depreciable lives and bases of assets. At December 31, 2023, the net tax bases of our depreciable assets exceeded net book basis by $160,372,000 (unaudited) due to the differences previously mentioned.

The FASB clarified the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The guidance utilizes a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when a company concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) is only addressed if step one has been satisfied (i.e., the position is more likely than not to be sustained). Under step two, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit (determined on a cumulative probability basis) that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. We currently do not have any uncertain tax positions that would not be sustained on its technical merits on a more-likely than not basis.

We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by certain tax jurisdictions. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in our Consolidated Statements of Income as General and administrative expenses.

Concentrations of Credit Risk. Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, operating leases on owned properties, financing receivables and mortgage loans receivable. Our financial instruments, operating leases, financing receivables and mortgage loans receivable are subject to the possibility of loss of carrying value as a result of the failure of other parties to perform according to their contractual obligations or changes in market prices which may make the instrument less valuable. We obtain various collateral and other protective rights, and continually monitor these rights, in order to reduce such possibilities of loss. In addition, we provide reserves for potential losses based upon management’s periodic review of our portfolio. See Note 3. Major Operators for further discussion of concentrations of credit risk from our tenants.

Net Income Per Share. Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period excluding common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents.

In accordance with the accounting guidance regarding the determination of whether instruments granted in share-based payments transactions are participating securities, we have applied the two-class method of computing basic earnings per share. This guidance clarifies that outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common stockholders and are considered participating securities.

Stock-Based Compensation. The FASB requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees. Also, we use the Monte Carlo model to estimate the value of performance-based stock units awarded to employees. These models require management to make certain estimates including stock volatility, expected dividend yield and the expected term. If management incorrectly estimates these variables, the results of operations could be affected. The FASB also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow. Because we qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we are generally not subject to Federal income taxation. Therefore, this reporting requirement does not have an impact on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Segment Disclosures. The FASB accounting guidance regarding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information establishes standards for the manner in which public business enterprises report information about operating segments. Our investment decisions in seniors housing and health care properties, including property lease transactions, financing receivables, mortgage loans, and other investments, are made and resulting investments are managed as a single operating segment for internal reporting and for internal decision-making purposes. Therefore, we have concluded that we operate as a single segment. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) (“ASU 2023-07”) which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable

67

​

Table of Contents

​

segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 clarifies that entities with a single reportable segment are subject to both new and existing segment reporting requirements under ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

3. Major Operators

We have one operator from which we derive approximately 10% or more of our total revenues. The following table sets forth information regarding our major operator as of December 31, 2023:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Number of | ​ | Number of | ​ | Percentage of | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | SNF | ​ | ALF | ​ | Total | ​ | ​ | Total | ​ | ​
Operator | ​ | SNF | ​ | ALF | ​ | Beds | ​ | Units | ​ | Revenues (1) | ​ | ​ | Assets (2) | ​ | ​
Prestige Healthcare (3) | ​ | 24 | ​ | — | ​ | 2,820 | ​ | 93 | ​ | 16.6 | % | ​ | 14.3 | % | ​

(1) | Includes total revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

​

(2) | Represents the net carrying value of the mortgage loans and properties we own divided by the Total assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

​

(3) | The majority of the revenue derived from this operator relates to interest income from mortgage loans.

During 2023, we agreed to defer up to $1,500,000, or up to $300,000 per month for May through September 2023, in interest payments due on one of Prestige Healthcare's mortgage loans secured by 15 skilled nursing centers in Michigan. We deferred $600,000 and $900,000 in interest payments during the second and third quarter of 2023, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we amended the mortgage loan with Prestige which was subject to the previously agreed upon interest deferral. Effective January 1, 2024, the minimum mortgage interest payment due to us is based on an annual current pay rate of 8.5% on the outstanding loan balance. The current contractual interest rate on the loan of 10.8% remains unchanged. The amendment also provides us the right to draw on Prestige’s security to pay the difference between the contractual rate and current pay rate. We received all 2023 contractual interest of $19,539,000 due from Prestige after applying $3,435,000 of its security. Full contractual interest has been paid on the loan through February 2024 and we expect to receive full contractual cash interest through 2025. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, Prestige increased the security from its receipt of retro-active Medicaid funds. Accordingly, we currently hold security of $3,966,000. Additional retro-active Medicaid payments received by Prestige in 2024 will be remitted to us as security.

Our financial position and ability to make distributions may be adversely affected if Prestige Healthcare, or any of our lessees and borrowers face financial difficulties, including any bankruptcies, inability to emerge from bankruptcy, insolvency, or general downturn in business of any such operator, continuing impact upon services or occupancy levels due to infectious disease outbreaks, or in the event any such operator does not renew and/or extend its relationship with us.

5. Real Estate Investments

Owned Properties. As of December 31, 2023, we owned 134 health care real estate properties consisting of 83 ALFs, 50 SNFs and one behavioral health care hospital located in 23 states. These properties are operated by 22 operators.

Independent living communities, assisted living communities, memory care communities and combinations thereof are included in the assisted living property classification (collectively “ALF”). Any reference to the number of properties, number of units, number of beds, and yield on investments in real estate are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Depreciation expense on buildings and improvements, including properties classified as held-for-sale, was $37,303,000, $37,394,000, and $38,192,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Many of our existing leases contain renewal options that, if exercised, could result in the amount of rent receivable upon renewal being greater or less than that currently being paid.

During 2023, Brookdale Senior Living Communities, Inc. (“Brookdale”) elected not to exercise its renewal option under a master lease that matured on December 31, 2023. The 35-property assisted living portfolio was apportioned as follows:

| ● | We re-leased 17 communities with a total of 738 units to Brookdale under a new master lease. This new master lease includes six properties in Colorado, six properties in Texas, four in Kansas and one in Ohio. The new master lease, which commenced in January 2024, is for six years at an initial annual rent of $9,325,000, escalating by approximately 2% annually. The lease includes a purchase option that can be exercised in 2029. We also agreed to fund $4,500,000 for capital expenditures for the first two years of the lease at an initial rate of 8.0%, escalating by approximately 2.0% annually thereafter;

​

| ● | Five communities in Oklahoma, with a total of 184 units, were transferred and are now being operated by an existing LTC operator. The new master lease, which commenced in November 2023, is for three years, with one four-year extension, at an initial annual rent of $960,000, increasing to $984,000 in the second year, and $1,150,000 in the third year. Additionally, the new master lease includes a purchase option that can be exercised starting in November 2027 through October 2029 if the lessee exercises its four-year extension option;

​

| ● | Five communities in North Carolina, with a total of 210 units, were transferred and are now being operated by an operator new to us. The new master lease, which commenced in January 2024, is for six years at an initial annual rent of $3,300,000, escalating 3.0% annually thereafter; and

​

| ● | Eight communities across three states including four in Florida, three in South Carolina and one in Oklahoma with a total of 341 units, were sold for $27,959,000. We received proceeds of $23,232,000, net of transaction costs and seller financing. We provided seller financing collateralized by two of the Florida properties, with a

|  | total of 92 units. The $4,000,000 seller-financed mortgage loan is two years, with a one-year extension, at an interest rate of 8.75%.

Additionally, during 2023, a master lease covering two skilled nursing centers that was scheduled to mature in 2023 was renewed at the contractual rate for another five years extending the maturity to November 2028. The centers have a total of 216 beds and are located in Florida. Also, during 2023, a master lease covering two skilled nursing centers that was scheduled to mature in 2023 was renewed for another two years extending the maturity to December 2025. The master lease was renewed at the contractual annual cash rent of $1,005,000 increasing 2.5% per year. As amended, this master lease provides the lessee with a purchase option available through December 31, 2024. The centers have a total of 141 beds and are located in Tennessee. Further, during 2023, a master lease covering three skilled nursing centers that was scheduled to mature in 2024 was renewed at the contractual rate for another five years extending the maturity to August 2029. The centers have a total of 613 beds and are located in Arizona.

During 2023, we transitioned a portfolio of eight assisted living communities with 500 units in Illinois, Ohio and Michigan to Encore Senior Living (“Encore”). We agreed to provide assistance in the second quarter of 2023 to the former operator of this portfolio and as part of transition, we received repayment of $1,250,000 of deferred rent which represents $934,000 of April and May 2023 deferred rent and $316,000 of unrecorded deferred rent provided in 2022. Cash rent under the new two-year lease with Encore is based on mutually agreed upon fair market rent beginning in September 2023.

Subsequent to December 31, 2023, a master lease covering 11 skilled nursing centers that was scheduled to mature in January 2024 was renewed for seven months extending the maturity to August 2024. The master lease was renewed at the current annualized rent of $8,000,000, or $4,667,000 for seven months in 2024. The centers have a total of 1,444 beds and are located in Texas. Also, subsequent to December 31, 2023, we transitioned two assisted living communities, which are located in Georgia and South Carolina with a combined 159-units, to an operator new to LTC. The new two-year master lease commenced on January 1, 2024, and provides two one-year extension periods. Cash rent is zero for the first six months. Thereafter, cash rent is based on mutually agreed upon fair market rent.

We monitor the collectability of our receivable balances, including deferred rent receivable balances, on an ongoing basis. We write-off uncollectable operator receivable balances, including straight-line rent receivable and lease incentives balances, as a reduction to rental income in the period such balances are no longer probable of being collected. Therefore, recognition of rental income is limited to the lesser of the amount of cash collected or rental income reflected on a straight-line basis for those customer receivable balances deemed uncollectable. We wrote-off straight-line rent receivable and lease incentives balances of $26,000, $256,000 and $758,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

We continue to take into account the current financial condition of our operators, including consideration of the impact of COVID-19, in our estimation of uncollectable accounts and deferred rents receivable at December 31, 2023. We are closely monitoring the collectability of such rents and will adjust future estimations as appropriate as further information becomes known.

(1) | We entered into a $54,134 Joint Venture (“JV”) and contributed $45,000 into the JV that purchased an ILF/ALF/MC in Ohio. Under the JV agreement, the seller, our JV partner, has the option to purchase the campus between the third and fourth lease years for LTC’s allocation of the JV investment plus an IRR of 9.75%. The campus was leased to Encore Senior Living (“Encore”) under a 10-year term with an initial yield of 8.25% on LTC’s allocation of the JV investment. LTC committed to fund $2,100 of lease incentives under the Encore lease of which $1,458 has been funded.

​

(2) | Includes $8,309 tax abatement intangible included in the Prepaid expenses and other assets line item in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

​

(3) | The properties are located in Texas and are leased to an affiliate of an existing operator under a 10-year lease with two 5-year renewal options. Additionally, the lease provides either an earn-out payment or purchase option but not both. If neither option is elected within the timeframe defined in the lease, both elections are terminated. The earn-out payment is available, contingent on achieving certain thresholds per the lease, beginning at the end of the second lease year through the end of the fifth lease year. The purchase option is available beginning in the sixth lease year through the end of the seventh lease year. The initial cash yield is 8% for the first year, increasing to 8.25% for the second year, then increases annually by 2.0% to 4.0% based on the change in the Medicare Market Basket Rate. In connection with the transaction, we provided the lessee a 10-year working capital loan for up to $2,000 at 8% for first year, increasing to 8.25% for the second year, then increasing annually with the lease rate. During 2023, the working capital loan was fully repaid. Accordingly, the working capital commitment has been terminated.

Financing Receivables. During 2023 and 2022, we entered into two joint ventures (“JV”) and contributed into the JVs for the purchase of properties through sale and leaseback transactions. Concurrently, each of these JVs leased the purchased properties back to an affiliate of the seller and provided the seller-lessee with purchase options. We determined that each of these sale and leaseback transactions meet the accounting criteria to be presented as Financing receivables on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded the rental revenue from these properties as Interest income from financing receivables on our Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within our consolidated financial statements for more information. The following tables provide information regarding our investments in financing receivables during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollar amounts in thousands):

6. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We have preferred equity investments in two joint ventures. We determined that each of these JVs meet the accounting criteria to be considered a VIE. We are not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as we do not have both: 1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, and 2) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. However, we do have significant influence over the JVs. Therefore, we account for the joint venture investments using the equity method of accounting. The following table provides information regarding these preferred equity investments (dollar amounts in thousands):

represents 15.5% of the total investment. The preferred equity investment earns an initial cash rate of 7% increasing to 9% in year four until the internal rate of return (“IRR”) is 8%. After achieving an 8% IRR, the cash rate drops to 8% until achieving an IRR ranging between 12% to 14%, depending upon timing of redemption. We have the option to require the JV partner to purchase our preferred equity interest at any time between August 17, 2031 and December 31, 2036.

Our investment represents 11.6% of the estimated total investment. The preferred equity investment earns an initial cash rate of 8% with an IRR of 14%. The JV partner has the option to buy out our investment at any time after August 31, 2023 at the IRR rate. Also, we have the option to require the JV partner to purchase our preferred equity interest at any time between August 31, 2027 and, upon project completion and leasing the property, prior to the end of the first renewal term of the lease.

8. Lease Incentives

Our non-contingent lease incentive balances at December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $2,607,000 and $1,789,000, respectively. The following table summarizes our non-contingent lease incentive activity for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Non-contingent lease incentives represent payments made to our lessees for various reasons including entering into a new lease or lease amendments and extensions. Contingent lease incentives represent potential contingent earn-out payments that may be made to our lessees in the future, as part of our lease agreements. From time to time, we may commit to provide contingent payments to our lessees, upon our properties achieving certain rent coverage ratios. Once the contingent payment becomes probable and estimable, the contingent payment is recorded as a lease incentive. Lease incentives are amortized as a yield adjustment to rental income over the remaining life of the lease.

9. Debt Obligations

Unsecured Credit Facility. We have an unsecured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for an aggregate commitment of the lenders of up to $500,000,000 comprising of a $400,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Line of Credit”) and two $50,000,000 term loans (the “Term Loans”). The Credit Agreement permits us to request increases to the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loans commitments up to a total of $1,000,000,000. The Term Loans mature on November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026. The Revolving Line of Credit had a maturity date of November 19, 2025 and provided a one-year extension option at our discretion, subject to customary conditions. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we entered into the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points (“Adjusted SOFR”), as the reference rate for purpose of calculating interest under the agreement. Other material terms of the Credit Agreement remained unchanged. Further, subsequent to December 31, 2023, we entered into a Second Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to accelerate the one-year extension option notice to January 4, 2024. Concurrently, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement, as amended to November 19, 2026.

Based on our leverage at December 31, 2023, the Revolving Line of Credit provides for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 115 points and a facility fee of 20 basis point and the Term Loans provide for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 135 points.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements. In connection with entering into the Term Loans as discussed above, we entered into two receive variable/pay fixed interest rate swap agreements (“Interest Rate Swaps”) with maturities of November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026, respectively, that will effectively lock-in the forecasted interest payments on the Term Loans’ borrowings over the four and five year terms of the loans. The Interest Rate Swaps are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair value of these instruments recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with entering into the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement discussed above, we entered into amendments to our Interest Rate Swaps to account for SOFR as the updated reference rate in the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $2,609,000 decrease and $8,891,000 increase, respectively, in fair value of Interest Rate Swaps.

The following table sets forth information regarding our Interest Rate Swaps at December 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Senior Unsecured Notes. We have senior unsecured notes held by institutional investors with interest rates ranging from 3.66% to 5.03%. The senior unsecured notes mature between 2024 and 2033. During year ended December 31, 2022, we sold $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.66% senior unsecured notes. The notes have an average 10-year life, scheduled principal payments and mature in May 2033.

The senior unsecured notes and Credit Agreement, including the Revolving Line of Credit and the Term Loans, contain financial covenants, which are measured quarterly, require us to maintain, among other things:

| (i) | a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value not greater than 0.5 to 1.0;

| (ii) | a ratio of secured debt to total asset value not greater than 0.35 to 1.0;

| (iii) | a ratio of unsecured debt to the value of the unencumbered asset value not greater than 0.6 to 1.0; and

| (iv) | a ratio of EBITDA, as calculated in the Unsecured Credit Agreement, to fixed charges not less than 1.50 to 1.0.

At December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. These debt obligations also contain additional customary covenants and events of default that are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.

10. Equity

Non-controlling Interests. We have entered into partnerships to develop and/or own real estate. Given that our limited members do not have the substantive kick-out rights, liquidation rights, or participation rights, we have concluded that the partnerships are VIEs. As we exercise power over and receive benefits from the VIEs, we are considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we consolidate the VIEs and record the non-controlling interests on the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2023, we have the following consolidated VIEs (in thousands):

Shelf Registration Statement. We have an automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC, and currently have the ability to file additional automatic shelf registration statements, to provide us with capacity to publicly offer an indeterminate amount of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt, depositary shares, or units. We may from time to time publicly raise capital under our automatic shelf registration statement in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of the offering.

(1) | The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable options at December 31, 2023, based upon the closing price of our common shares at December 29, 2023, the last trading day of 2023, was approximately $0. Options exercisable at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 0.2 years, 0.7 years, and 1.2 years, respectively.

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees. This model requires management to make certain estimates including stock volatility, expected dividend yield and the expected term. No compensation expense related to the vesting of stock options was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

The master lease allows either an earn-out payment up to $3,000 or a purchase option. The earn-out payment is available, contingent on achieving certain thresholds per the lease, beginning at the end of the second lease year through the end of the fifth lease year. If neither option is elected within the timeframe defined in the lease, both elections are terminated. For more information regarding the purchase option see Note 5. Real Estate Investments.

Also, some of our lease agreements provide purchase options allowing the lessees to purchase the properties they currently lease from us. See Note 5. Real Estate Investments for a table summarizing information about our purchase options.

We are a party from time to time to various general and professional liability claims and lawsuits asserted against the lessees or borrowers of our properties, which in our opinion are not singularly or in the aggregate material to our results of operations or financial condition. These types of claims and lawsuits may include matters involving general or professional liability, which we believe under applicable legal principles are not our responsibility as a non-possessory landlord or mortgage holder. We believe that these matters are the responsibility of our lessees and borrowers pursuant to general legal principles and pursuant to insurance and indemnification provisions in the applicable leases or mortgages. We intend to continue to vigorously defend such claims.

12. Distributions

We must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income in order to continue to qualify as a REIT. This distribution requirement can be satisfied by current year distributions or, to a certain extent, by distributions in the following year.

For federal tax purposes, distributions to stockholders are treated as ordinary income, capital gains, return of capital or a combination thereof. Distributions for 2023, 2022 and 2021 were cash distributions. The federal income tax classification of the per share common stock distributions are as follows (unaudited):

15. Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with the accounting guidance regarding the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, entities are permitted to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings. We did not adopt the elective fair market value option for our financial assets and financial liabilities.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. We do not invest our cash in auction rate securities. The carrying value and fair value of our financial instruments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 assuming election of fair value for our financial assets and financial liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | At December 31, 2023 | ​ | At December 31, 2022 | ​
​ | ​ | Carrying | ​ | Fair | ​ | Carrying | ​ | Fair | ​
​ | ​ | Value | ​ | Value | ​ | Value | ​ | Value | ​
Financing receivables, net of credit loss reserve | ​ | $ | 196,032 | ​ | $ | 199,199 | (1) | $ | 75,999 | ​ | $ | 76,033 | (1)
Mortgage loans receivable, net of credit loss reserve | ​ | ​ | 477,266 | ​ | ​ | 554,993 | (2) | ​ | 389,728 | ​ | ​ | 461,276 | (2)
Notes receivable, net of credit loss reserve | ​ |  | 60,490 | ​ |  | 67,877 | (3) |  | 58,383 | ​ |  | 61,858 | (3)
Revolving line of credit | ​ |  | 302,250 | ​ | ​ | 302,250 | (4) | ​ | 130,000 | ​ | ​ | 130,000 | (4)
Term loans, net of debt issue costs | ​ | ​ | 99,658 | ​ | ​ | 100,000 | (4) | ​ | 99,511 | ​ | ​ | 100,000 | (4)
Senior unsecured notes, net of debt issue costs | ​ |  | 489,409 | ​ | ​ | 439,865 | (5) | ​ | 538,343 | ​ | ​ | 477,653 | (5)

(1) | Our investment in financing receivables is classified as Level 3. The fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate used to value our future cash inflows of the financing receivables at December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 7.6%.

​

(2) | Our investment in mortgage loans receivable is classified as Level 3. The fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate is determined using our assumption on market conditions adjusted for market and credit risk and current returns on our investments. The discount rate used to value our future cash inflows of the mortgage loans receivable at December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 9.2% and 9.3%, respectively.

​

(3) | Our investments in notes receivable are classified as Level 3. The discount rate is determined using our assumption on market conditions adjusted for market and credit risk and current returns on our investments. The discount rate used to value our future cash flows of the notes receivable at December 31, 2023 and 2022, were 6.9% and 7.1%, respectively.

​

(4) | Our revolving line of credit and term loans bear interest at a variable interest rate. The estimated fair value of our revolving line of credit and term loans approximated their carrying values at December 31, 2023 and 2022 based upon prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements.

​

(5) | Our obligation under our senior unsecured notes is classified as Level 3 and thus the fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate is measured based upon management’s estimates of rates currently prevailing for comparable loans available to us, and instruments of comparable maturities. At December 31, 2023, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 6.5% for those maturing before year 2030 and 6.75% for those maturing at or beyond year 2030. At December 31, 2022, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 6.5% for those maturing before year 2030 and 7.0% for those maturing beyond year 2030.

​

16. Subsequent Events

The following events occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date:

Real Estate Transitions and Lease Renewals. We transitioned two assisted living communities located in Georgia and South Carolina with a combined 159-units to a new operator. The new two-year master lease commenced on January 1, 2024 and provides two one-year extension periods. Rent is zero for the first six months. Thereafter, cash rent is based on mutually agreed upon fair market rent. Additionally, a master lease covering 11 skilled nursing centers that was scheduled to mature in January 2024 was renewed for seven months extending the maturity to August 2024. The master lease was renewed at the current annualized rent of $8,000,000, or $4,667,000 for seven months in 2024. The centers have a total of 1,444 beds and are located in Texas.

Property Sales. We sold our interest in a JV for $23,120,000, which includes repayment of $1,814,000 of

​

​

abated rent and $563,000 of deferred rent, as well as the payoff of a $550,000 note receivable. The JV owns a 110-unit community that provides independent living, assisted living and memory care services in Wisconsin. We held an approximate 90% economic interest in the JV, exercised power over and received benefits from the JV. Accordingly, we were considered the primary beneficiary of the JV and consolidated the JV on our consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2023, this community was classified as held-for-sale. See Note 5. Real Estate Investments —Properties Held-for-Sale for more information.

Debt. We entered into a Second Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to accelerate the one-year extension option notice to January 4, 2024. Concurrently, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement, as amended to November 19, 2026. Additionally, we repaid $30,500,000 under our unsecured revolving line of credit. Accordingly, we have $271,750,000 outstanding and $128,250,000 available for borrowing under our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Equity. We declared a monthly cash dividend of $0.19 per share on our common stock for the months of January, February, and March 2024, payable on January 31, February 29, and March 29, 2024, respectively, to stockholders of record on January 23, February 21, and March 21, 2024, respectively. Additionally, we sold 91,100 shares of common stock for $2,907,000 in net proceeds under our Equity Distribution Agreements. Accordingly, we have $73,074,000 available under our Equity Distribution Agreements.

(1) | This number is based upon unit/bed counts shown on operating licenses provided to us by lessee/borrowers or units/beds as stipulated by lease/mortgage documents. We have found during the years that these numbers often differ, usually not materially, from units/beds in operation at any point in time. The differences are caused by such things as operators converting a patient/resident room for alternative uses, such as offices or storage, or converting a multi-patient room/unit into a single patient room/unit. We monitor our properties on a routine basis through site visits and reviews of current licenses. In an instance where such change would cause a de-licensing of beds or in our opinion impact the value of the property, we would take action against the borrower to preserve the value of the property/collateral.

Item 9A. CONTROL S AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

The Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm thereon are set forth on the following pages.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

| ● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;

| ● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and

| ● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control— Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, has been audited by Ernst &Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm. Ernst & Young LLP’s report on our internal control over financial reporting appears on the following page.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting F irm

​

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of LTC Properties, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited LTC Properties, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, LTC Properties, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a) and our report dated February 15, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
