Significant Master Leases
Ensign — As of December 31, 2025, the Company leased 113 properties to subsidiaries of The Ensign Group, Inc. (“Ensign”), including 12,218 operational beds. A significant number of properties are leased to Ensign on a triple-net basis under eight long-term leases, each with its own pool of properties, that have varying maturities (each an “Ensign Master Lease” and collectively, the “Ensign Master Leases”). The Ensign Master Leases escalate annually, in June, by an amount equal to the product of (1) the lesser of the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) (but not less than zero) or 2.5%, and (2) the prior year’s rent. In addition to rent, the subsidiaries of Ensign that are tenants under the Ensign Master Leases are solely responsible for the costs related to the leased properties (including property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repair costs). See below under “Lease Amendments and Terminations” for further detail on Ensign lease amendments. The obligations under the Ensign Master Leases are guaranteed by Ensign. A default by any subsidiary of Ensign with regard to any property leased pursuant to an Ensign Master Lease will result in a default under all of the Ensign Master Leases. As of December 31, 2025, annualized contractual rental income from the Ensign Master Leases was $79.6 million.
As of December 31, 2025, 9 of the 113 properties are leased to Ensign under three separate triple-net master lease agreements (the “Other Ensign Master Leases”), which have a total of 1,024 operational beds. The obligations under these separate master leases are guaranteed by Ensign. A default under the Other Ensign Master Lease agreements constitutes a
default under the Ensign Master Leases, but a default under the Ensign Master Leases does not constitute a default under the Other Ensign Master Leases. As of December 31, 2025, annualized contractual rental income from the Other Ensign Master Leases was $12.5 million.
Ensign provides a guaranty for eight properties leased to The Pennant Group, Inc. (“Pennant”) under the Pennant Master Lease (defined below), which represents $7.6 million of total annualized contractual rental income as of December 31, 2025.
PMG — As of December 31, 2025, 15 of the Company’s properties were leased to subsidiaries of Priority Management Group (“PMG”) on a triple-net basis under one long-term lease (the “PMG Master Lease”), and have a total of 2,144 operational beds. The PMG Master Lease commenced on December 1, 2016, and provides an initial term of 15 years, with two five-year renewal options. As of December 31, 2025, annualized contractual rental income from the PMG Master Lease was $32.8 million. Rent is escalated annually by an amount equal to the product of (1) the lesser of the percentage change in the CPI (but not less than zero) or 3.0%, and (2) the prior year’s rent. In addition to rent, the subsidiaries of PMG that are tenants under the PMG Master Lease are solely responsible for the costs related to the leased properties (including property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repair costs).
Portfolio
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s remaining properties held for investment were leased to various operators under triple-net leases. All of the triple-net leases contain annual escalators based on the percentage change in the CPI or Retail Price Index (“RPI”) (but not less than zero), some of which are subject to a floor and/or cap, or fixed rent escalators. In addition, three properties are managed on behalf of the Company by a third party operator pursuant to a management agreement. As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any properties held for sale.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s total future contractual minimum rental income for all of its operating leases, excluding operating expense reimbursements, was as follows (dollars in thousands):
