Operating Results
“We are pleased to report another record quarter. The primary driver of these results is the extraordinary healthcare outcomes achieved by our dedicated and talented clinical teams. Simply put, our consistent financial results would not be possible without a relentless patient-focused culture that strives to deliver the highest quality clinical outcomes,” said Barry Port, Ensign’s Chief Executive Officer.
“These efforts are bearing fruit and are showing through in several ways. On the occupancy front, our same store and transitioning occupancy increased to 83.0% and 84.4% during the quarter, which are both all-time highs. The primary reason for this growth in occupancy is due to the fact that our teams are capturing more market share by earning the trust of the communities they serve through clinical performance. As each operation earns and solidifies their reputation as the facility of choice in their respective markets, they are not only seeing more patients, but they are also being entrusted to care for more and more medically complex patients, which includes a larger share of Medicare, managed care and other skilled patients. In addition, we believe we are just now starting to see increased demand for our services due to the strong demographic trends, which are an additional tail wind for us,” Port added.
Speaking to the Company’s organic growth potential, Port added, “Our improvements in occupancy and skilled mix in our same store operations and the even larger improvements in our transitioning operations, highlight the enormous upside inherent in our portfolio. At the same time, we continue to acquire new operations with huge long-term upside. Since 2024, we’ve added 73 new operations across several markets, many of which are already performing at or above our expectations. We are excited about the trajectory we are on for the year and look forward to capturing the enormous potential inherent in our portfolio.
“After another stronger than expected quarter, we are raising our annual 2025 earnings guidance to between $6.48 to $6.54 per diluted share, up from $6.34 to $6.46 per diluted share. The new midpoint of this increased 2025 earnings guidance represents an increase of 18.4% over our 2024 results and is 36.5% higher than our 2023 results. We are also increasing our annual revenue guidance to $5.05 billion to $5.07 billion, up from $4.99 billion to $5.02 billion, to account for our current quarter growth and acquisitions we have closed and anticipate closing through the remainder of the year. We are very proud of the results our local operators have achieved so far in 2025 and are confident that our partners will continue to manage and innovate while balancing the addition of newly acquired operations. We are excited about the trajectory we are on for the year and look forward to continuing our consistent march towards great clinical and financial results," Mr. Port said.
Speaking to the Company’s acquisition growth, Chad Keetch, Ensign’s Chief Investment Officer and Executive Vice President said, “During the quarter and since we accelerated our growth by adding 22 new operations, including 10 real estate assets, bringing the number of operations acquired during 2025 to 45. We are expecting more new additions during the fourth quarter and have some acquisitions lining up for the first quarter of 2026. As we evaluate the many opportunities on the horizon, we remain committed to staying true to the proven deal criteria that has allowed us to grow in a healthy and sustainable way. Our focus is to carefully choose the acquisitions that will be accretive over the long term.”
Suzanne Snapper, Ensign’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer reported that the Company’s liquidity remains strong with approximately $443.7 million of cash on hand and $592.6 million of available capacity under its line-of-credit. Ms. Snapper also indicated that, “Management’s annual guidance is based on diluted weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 59.0 million and a 25.0% tax rate. In addition, the guidance assumes, among other things, normalized insurance costs, acquisitions expected to close through the end of the year and management’s current expectations regarding reimbursement rates. It also excludes certain charges that arise outside the normal course of business, acquisition related costs and share-based compensation.”
A discussion of the Company's use of non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBT, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted EBITDA and FFO for Standard Bearer, as well as a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share, net income to adjusted net income and adjusted net earnings per share appear in the financial data portion of this release. More complete information is contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, which is expected to be filed with the SEC today and can be viewed on the Company’s website at http://www.ensigngroup.net.
Growth and Real Estate Highlights
Mr. Keetch added additional commentary on the Company’s continued acquisition activity. “We accelerated our growth by adding 22 new operations, including 10 real estate assets, during the quarter and since. These include two larger deals: an 11-building portfolio in California and a 7-building portfolio in Utah. It also includes some single facility opportunities in four other states. Overall, our growth this quarter continues to demonstrate our ability to take on multi-facility portfolios as well as our traditional singles and doubles, which when taken collectively are equivalent to a large “transformative” acquisition. We continue to prioritize markets that we know best while meticulously expanding into new markets. We want to point out that the distribution of our growth over the last several quarters spans across many states and markets, leaving us with significant bandwidth to grow in almost all of our markets, including our newest states," Keetch said.
The recent acquisitions include the following leased operations:
- Courtyard Health Care Center, a 112-bed skilled nursing facility located in Davis, California;
- Pacific Gardens Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, a 171-bed skilled nursing facility located in Fresno, California;

Ensign's growing portfolio consists of 369 healthcare operations, 31 of which also include senior living operations, across 17 states. Ensign now owns 155 real estate assets, 119 which are operated by an Ensign affiliate. Mr. Keetch noted that Ensign’s overall strategy will continue to include both leasing and acquiring the real estate, and that the Company is actively looking for performing and underperforming operations in several states.
The Company continues to provide additional disclosure on Standard Bearer which is comprised of 149 owned properties. Of these assets, 115 are leased to an Ensign-affiliated operator and 35 are leased to third-party operators. Mr. Keetch noted that each of these properties are subject to triple-net, long-term leases and generated rental revenue of $32.6 million for the quarter, of which $27.6 million was derived from Ensign affiliated operations. For the quarter, Ensign reported $19.3 million in FFO.
The Company also paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0625 per share of Ensign common stock. Ms. Snapper noted that as the Company’s liquidity remains strong, it plans to continue its long history of paying dividends into the future.

| Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures |
EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest income, (b) provision for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization and (d) interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest income, (b) provision for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) interest expense, (e) stock-based compensation expense, (f) acquisition related costs, (g) costs incurred related to system implementations, (h) litigation arising outside of the ordinary course of business, (i) gain on business interruption recoveries and loss on long-lived assets, and (j) gain on other investments. Adjusted EBITDAR consists of net income before (a) interest income, (b) provision for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) interest expense, (e) rent-cost of services, (f) stock-based compensation expense, (g) acquisition related costs, (h) costs incurred related to system implementations, (i) litigation arising outside of the ordinary course of business, (j) gain on business interruption recoveries and loss on long-lived assets, and (k) gain on other investments. Adjusted EBT consists of net income before (a) provision for income taxes, (b) stock-based compensation expense, (c) acquisition related costs, (d) costs incurred related to system implementations, (e) litigation arising outside of the ordinary course of business, (f) gain on business interruption recoveries and loss on long-lived assets, (g) gain on other investments, and (h) amortization of patient base intangible assets. Funds from Operations (FFO) for our Standard Bearer segment consists of segment income, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains or losses from the sale of real estate, insurance recoveries related to real estate and impairment of long-lived assets. The Company believes that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBT and FFO provides important supplemental information to management and investors to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. Adjusted EBITDAR is a financial valuation measure that is not specified in GAAP. This measure is not displayed as a performance measure as it excludes rent expense, which is a normal and recurring operating expense. The Company believes disclosure of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted EBT and FFO has substance because the excluded revenues and expenses are infrequent in nature and are variable in nature, or do not represent current revenues or cash expenditures. A material limitation associated with the use of these measures as compared to the GAAP measures of net income and diluted earnings per share is that they may not be comparable with the calculation of net income and diluted earnings per share for other companies in the Company's industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. For further information regarding why the Company believes that this non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses these measures, and some of the limitations associated with the use of these measures, please refer to the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s periodic filings are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or under the "Financials" link of the Investor Relations section on Ensign’s website at http://www.ensigngroup.net.
