Exhibit 99.1

CareTrust REIT Announces Fourth Quarter & Full Year 2022 Operating Results

Conference Call Scheduled for Friday, February 10, 2023 at 1:00 pm ET

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., February 9, 2023 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CareTrust REIT, Inc. (NYSE:CTRE) today reported operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, as well as other recent events.

For the quarter, CareTrust REIT reported:

•95.5% of contractual rents collected;

•Net income of $14.4 million and net income per share of $0.15;

•Normalized FFO of $37.0 million and normalized FFO per share of $0.38;

•Normalized FAD of $39.0 million and normalized FAD per share of $0.40; and

•A quarterly dividend of $0.275 per share, representing a payout ratio of approximately 69% on normalized FAD.

Operating Environment

CareTrust’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Dave Sedgwick, discussed the business environment and the Company's Q4 results. “Given last year’s Federal Reserve rate increases, the persistently tight labor market, and our portfolio repositioning work, we are pleased to report Normalized FFO per share for the quarter and the year of $0.38 and $1.49, respectively, and contractual rent collections for the year of 95.2% inclusive of security deposits.”

Q4 occupancy for both skilled nursing and seniors housing increased by approximately 70 basis points over Q3, with several facilities and operators successfully returning to pre-pandemic occupancy levels. December skilled nursing and seniors housing occupancy were approximately 74% and 77% compared to their pre-pandemic marks of 78% and 81%, respectively.

The Biden administration announced it will end the Public Health Emergency (PHE) related to the Covid-19 pandemic on May 11, 2023. Mr. Sedgwick said, “the PHE has provided much needed support to skilled nursing and other healthcare providers to manage through the many pandemic headwinds. Many states have implemented policies to support their healthcare providers in anticipation of the termination of the PHE this year. Nevertheless, the end of the PHE will not help the industry recover and may result in an increase of acquisition opportunities as some providers need to sell. Our balance sheet has been built for times like this.”

Portfolio

The Company reported facility EBITDAR and EBITDARM lease coverage for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022 of 2.01x and 2.57x, respectively, excluding application of HHS Provider Relief Funds. The operators in the Company’s “Top 10 Tenants” lease coverage account for 89% of contractual rent and collectively have an EBITDAR and EBITDARM lease coverage of 2.13x and 2.70x, respectively. Among the tenants outside the Company’s Top 10 is one operator, representing 2.8% of contractual revenue, that has not paid rent since November 2022. Deposits for this operator were applied and exhausted in Q4. Removing this operator's negative lease coverage would increase the “All Other Tenant” EBITDAR coverage from 1.08x to 1.84x and would increase the overall portfolio coverage from 2.01x to 2.10x.

The Company gave an update on its 2022 disposition plan. Mr. Sedgwick said, “After an exhaustive process during a volatile year, we have sold 13 properties and decided to retain 14. That now leaves only 5 facilities that are still on the market. Two of those are under contract to sell.” An update to key transactional details for the original 32 assets selected for sale or restructure are provided in the Fourth Quarter Financial Supplement.

Pipeline

The Company’s Chief Investment Officer, James Callister, commented on the current market for acquisitions and the Company’s pipeline. He said, “The rising cost of debt is impacting many potential buyers and we’re seeing sellers and brokers prioritize certainty more than ever before. We believe this to be a primary driver for the increase in deals crossing our desk.” Mr. Callister continued, “We are encouraged by the increased deal flow and we are beginning to see signs of sellers’ pricing expectations adjusting to the world we live in today. We are actively pursuing opportunities for external growth both with current and future operating partners.”

Financial Results for Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2022

Chief Financial Officer, Bill Wagner, reported that, for the fourth quarter, CareTrust reported net income of $14.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted weighted-average common share, normalized FFO of $37.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted weighted-average common share, and normalized FAD of $39.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted weighted-average common share. For the year ended December 31, 2022, CareTrust reported net loss of $7.5 million, or $0.08 loss per diluted weighted-average common share, normalized FFO of $144.5 million, or $1.49 per diluted weighted-average common share, and normalized FAD of $152.4 million, or $1.57 per diluted weighted-average common share.

Liquidity

As of quarter end, CareTrust reported net debt-to-annualized normalized run rate EBITDA of 3.7x, which is below the Company's target leverage range of 4.0x to 5.0x, and a net debt-to-enterprise value of approximately 27.8%. Mr. Wagner stated that, as of today, the Company has approximately $135 million outstanding on its $600 million revolving credit line, with no scheduled debt maturities prior to 2026. He also disclosed that CareTrust currently has approximately $20 million in cash on hand. He further noted that the Company currently has approximately $428.4 million in available authorization remaining on its at-the-market equity program. "With substantial availability on our revolver, and equity markets readily accessible to us at present, we continue to have a wide range of capital options for funding our opportunistic growth strategy," said Mr. Wagner.

Dividend Maintained

During the quarter, CareTrust declared a quarterly dividend of $0.275 per common share. On an annualized basis, the payout ratio was approximately 72% based on fourth quarter 2022 normalized FFO, and 69% based on normalized FAD.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA represents net income before interest expense (including amortization of deferred financing costs), amortization of stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization. Normalized EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of core operating performance, such as recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, property operating expenses, gains or losses from dispositions of real estate, real estate impairment charges, provision for loan losses, non-routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized loss on other real estate related investments and provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, as applicable. EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements, including the Company’s ability to fund capital expenditures or make payments on its indebtedness. Further, the Company’s computation of EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA reported by other REITs.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation except on land, such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, Nareit created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP.

FFO is defined by Nareit as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from dispositions of real estate investments, real estate related depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company computes FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition.

FAD is defined as FFO excluding noncash income and expenses, such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees and the effects of straight-line rent. The Company considers FAD to be a useful supplemental measure to evaluate the Company’s operating results excluding these income and expense items to help investors, analysts and other interested parties compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies on a more consistent basis.

In addition, the Company reports Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD, which adjust FFO and FAD for certain revenue and expense items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing operating results, such as provision for loan losses, non-routine transaction costs, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized loss on other real estate related investments, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue and property operating expenses. By excluding these items, investors, analysts and our management can compare Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD between periods more consistently.

While FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD are relevant and widely-used measures of operating performance among REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements.

Further, the Company’s computation of FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD may not be comparable to FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or that interpret the current Nareit definition or define FAD differently than the Company does.

The Company believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. The Company also believes that the use of EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. The Company considers EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA useful in understanding the Company’s operating results independent of its capital structure, indebtedness and other charges that are not indicative of its ongoing results, thereby allowing for a more meaningful comparison of operating performance between periods and against other REITs. The Company considers FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, impairment charges and real estate related depreciation and amortization, and, for FAD and Normalized FAD, by excluding noncash income and expenses such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees, and the effects of straight-line rent, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD can help investors compare the Company’s operating performance between periods and to other REITs.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) Net income, excluding gains and losses from dispositions of real estate or other real estate, before real estate depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges. CareTrust REIT calculates and reports FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.[2] CARES Act and HHS Relief Funds Provider relief funds distributed by the Department of Health and Human Services as part of the CARES act to support healthcare providers’ battle against the COVID-19 outbreak. Healthcare providers received five payments over four phases of general distributions. Does not include funds as part of Medicaid’s Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (“FMAP”), Medicare’s Sequestration “Holiday” or Paycheck Protection Program loans (“PPP”). The Employee Retention Credit ("ERTC") is a fully refundable tax credit for employers equal to 50 percent of qualified wages (including allocable qualified health plan expenses) that eligible employers pay their employees. Independent Living Facilities (“ILFs”) Also known as retirement communities or senior apartments, ILFs are not healthcare facilities. ILFs typically consist of entirely self-contained apartments, complete with their own kitchens, baths and individual living spaces, as well as parking for tenant vehicles. They are most often rented unfurnished, and generally can be personalized by the tenants, typically an individual or a couple over the age of 55. These facilities offer various services and amenities such as laundry, housekeeping, dining options/meal plans, exercise and wellness programs, transportation, social, cultural and recreational activities, and on-site security. Assisted Living Facilities (“ALFs”) Licensed healthcare facilities that provide personal care services, support and housing for those who need help with daily living activities, such as bathing, eating and dressing, yet require limited medical care. The programs and services may include transportation, social activities, exercise and fitness programs, beauty or barber shop access, hobby and craft activities, community excursions, meals in a dining room setting and other activities sought by residents. These facilities are often in apartment-like buildings with private residences ranging from single rooms to large apartments. Certain ALFs may offer higher levels of personal assistance for residents requiring memory care as a result of Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Levels of personal assistance are based in part on local regulations.  EBITDA Net income before interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization and amortization of stock-based compensation.[1] EBITDAR Net income before interest expense, income tax, depreciation, amortization and cash rent, after applying a standardized management fee (5% of facility operating revenues). EBITDAR Coverage Aggregate EBITDAR produced by all facilities under a master lease (or other grouping) for the trailing twelve-month period ended September 30, 2022 divided by the base rent payable to CareTrust REIT under such master lease (or other grouping) for the same period; provided that if the master lease has been amended to change the base rent during or since such period, then the aggregate EBITDAR for such period is divided by the annualized monthly base rent currently in effect. EBITDAR reflects the application of a standard 5% management fee. In addition, we may exclude from coverage disclosures those facilities which are (i) classified as Held for Sale, (ii) temporarily on Special Focus Facility (SFF) status, (iii) undergoing significant renovations that necessarily result in a material reduction in occupancy, or (iv) have been acquired for or recently transferred to new operators for turnaround and are pre-stabilized. EBITDARM Earnings before interest expense, income tax, depreciation, amortization, cash rent, and a standardized management fee (5% of facility operating revenues). EBITDARM Coverage Aggregate EBITDARM produced by all facilities under a master lease (or other grouping) for the trailing twelve- month period ended September 30, 2022 divided by the base rent payable to CareTrust REIT under such master lease (or other grouping) for the same period; provided that if the master lease has been amended to change the base rent during or since such period, then the aggregate EBITDARM for such period is divided by the annualized monthly base rent currently in effect. In addition, we may exclude from coverage disclosures those facilities which are (i) classified as Held for Sale, (ii) temporarily on Special Focus Facility (SFF) status, (iii) undergoing significant renovations that necessarily result in a material reduction in occupancy, or (iv) have been acquired for or recently transferred to new operators for turnaround and are pre- stabilized. Enterprise Value Share price multiplied by the number of outstanding shares plus total outstanding debt minus cash, each as of a specified date. Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) FFO, excluding straight-line rental income adjustments, amortization of deferred financing fees and stock-based compensation expense.[2] Glossary 23

Multi-Service Campus Facilities that include a combination of Skilled Nursing beds and Seniors Housing units, including Continuing Care Retirement Communities. Normalized EBITDA EBITDA, adjusted for certain income and expense items the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing results, such as real estate impairment charges, provision for loan losses, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, property operating expenses, non- routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized loss on other real estate related investments and gains or losses from dispositions of real estate or other real estate.[1] Normalized FAD FAD, adjusted for certain income and expense items the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing results, such as provision for loan losses, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, effect of the senior unsecured notes payable redemption, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, non- routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized loss on other real estate related investments and property operating expenses.[2] Normalized FFO FFO, adjusted for certain income and expense items the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing results, such as provision for loan losses, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, effect of the senior unsecured notes payable redemption, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, accelerated amortization of stock-based compensation, non-routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized loss on other real estate related investments and property operating expenses.[2] Seniors Housing Includes ALFs, ILFs, dedicated memory care facilities and similar facilities. Skilled Nursing or Skilled Nursing Facilities (“SNFs”) Licensed healthcare facilities that provide restorative, rehabilitative and nursing care for people not requiring the more extensive and sophisticated treatment available at an acute care hospital or long-term acute care hospital. Treatment programs include physical, occupational, speech, respiratory, ventilator, and wound therapy. Notes: [1] EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements, including the Company’s ability to fund capital expenditures or make payments on its indebtedness. Further, the Company’s computation of EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA reported by other REITs. [2] CareTrust REIT believes FAD, FFO, Normalized FAD, and Normalized FFO (and their related per-share amounts) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of its operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, even though real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions. Moreover, by excluding items not indicative of ongoing results, Normalized FAD and Normalized FFO can facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other companies. However, FAD, FFO, Normalized FAD, and Normalized FFO (and their related per-share amounts) do not represent cash flows from operations or net income attributable to shareholders as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance.
