STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “10-Q”) contain “forward-looking” information as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that do not relate to historical or current facts or matters are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include all statements regarding our expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financing plans, business strategy, budgets, the expected amounts and timing of dividends and other distributions, projected expenses and capital expenditures, competitive position, growth opportunities, potential investments, plans and objectives for future operations, and compliance with and changes in governmental regulations. You can identify some of the forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “should,” “may” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
Our actual results may differ materially from those projected or contemplated by our forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, among others, the following:
our dependence on Genesis Healthcare, Inc. (“Genesis”) and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Holiday AL Holdings LP (collectively, “Holiday”) until we are able to further diversify our portfolio;
our dependence on the operating success of our tenants;
the significant amount of and our ability to service our indebtedness;
covenants in our debt agreements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends, make investments, incur additional indebtedness and refinance indebtedness on favorable terms;
increases in market interest rates;
changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
our ability to raise capital through equity and debt financings;
the impact of required regulatory approvals of transfers of healthcare properties;
the effect of increasingchanging healthcare regulation and enforcement on our tenants and the dependence of our tenants on reimbursement from governmental and other third-party payors;
the relatively illiquid nature of real estate investments;
competitive conditions in our industry;
the loss of key management personnel or other employees;
the impact of litigation and rising insurance costs on the business of our tenants;
the effect of our tenants declaring bankruptcy or becoming insolvent;
uninsured or underinsured losses affecting our properties and the possibility of environmental compliance costs and liabilities;
the ownership limits and anti-takeover defenses in our governing documents and Maryland law, which may restrict change of control or business combination opportunities;
the impact of a failure or security breach of information technology in our operations;
our ability to find replacement tenants and the impact of unforeseen costs in acquiring new properties;
our ability to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”);
changes in tax laws and regulations affecting REITs; and
compliance with REIT requirements and certain tax and tax regulatory matters related to our status as a REIT.
Additional factors related to the proposed transaction with Care Capital Properties, Inc. (“CCP”) include, among others, the following:
the possibility that the parties may be unable to obtain required stockholder approvals or regulatory approvals or that other conditions to closing the transaction may not be satisfied, such that the transaction will not close or that the closing may be delayed;
the potential adverse effect on tenant and vendor relationships, operating results and business generally resulting from the proposed transaction;
the proposed transaction will require significant time, attention and resources, potentially diverting attention from the conduct of our business;
the amount of debt that will need to be refinanced or amended in connection with the proposed merger and the ability to do so on acceptable terms; 
changes in healthcare regulation and political or economic conditions; 
the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction may not be realized;
the anticipated and unanticipated costs, fees, expenses and liabilities related to the transaction;

the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the transaction; and
the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the transaction agreement. 
We urge you to carefully consider these risks and review the additional disclosures we make concerning risks and other factors that may materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements and our future business and operating results, including those made in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 (our “2015“2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), and in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this 10-Q, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We caution you that any forward-looking statements made in this 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, events or results, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We do not intend, and we undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking information to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless required by law to do so.

SABRA HEALTH CARE REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
 
1.BUSINESS
1.     BUSINESS
Overview
Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. (“Sabra” or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 10, 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Sun”) and commenced operations on November 15, 2010 following Sabra's separation from Sun (the "Separation Date"). Sabra elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2011. Sabra believes that it has been organized and operated, and it intends to continue to operate, in a manner to qualify as a REIT. Sabra’s primary business consists of acquiring, financing and owning real estate property to be leased to third party tenants in the healthcare sector. Sabra primarily generates revenues by leasing properties to tenants and operators throughout the United States and Canada. Sabra owns substantially all of its assets and properties and conducts its operations through Sabra Health Care Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which Sabra is the sole general partner and Sabra's wholly owned subsidiaries are currently the only limited partners, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily comprised of skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, senior housing facilities, an acute care hospitals,hospital leased to third-party operators; senior housing facilities operated by third-party property managers pursuant to property management agreements (“Managed Properties”); investments in loans receivablereceivable; and preferred equity investments.
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sabra and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 and for the periods ended March 31, 20162017 and 2015.2016. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 20162017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 20162017. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 20152016 included in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC.
GAAP requires the Company to identify entities for which control is achieved through voting rights or other means and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity's activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. If the Company were determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company would consolidate investments in the VIE. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE due to events such as modifications of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity's equity investments at risk and the disposal of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary.
The Company identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.

As of March 31, 20162017, the Company determined it was the primary beneficiary of two variable interest entities—a senior housing facilitiesfacility and an exchange accommodation titleholder variable interest entity—and has

consolidated the operations of thethese facilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2016,2017, the Company determined that operations of the facilitiesentities were not material to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
As it relates to investments in loans, in addition to the Company's assessment of VIEs and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of those VIEs, the Company evaluates the loan terms and other pertinent facts to determine if the loan investment should be accounted for as a loan or as a real estate joint venture. If an investment has the characteristics of a real estate joint venture, including if the Company participates in the majority of the borrower's expected residual profit, the Company would account for the investment as an investment in a real estate joint venture and not as a loan investment. Expected residual profit is defined as the amount of profit, whether called interest or another name, such as an equity kicker, above a reasonable amount of interest and fees expected to be earned by a lender. At March 31, 20162017, none of the Company's investments in loans are accounted for as real estate joint ventures.
As it relates to investments in joint ventures, the Company assesses any limited partners' rights and their impact on the presumption of control of the limited partnership by any single partner. The Company reassesses its determination of which entity controls the joint venture if: there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of any partners, the sole general partner increases or decreases its ownership of limited partnership interests, or there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding limited partnership interests. The Company also applies this guidance to managing member interests in limited liability companies.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods. As a result, certain reclassifications were made to the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income. As of December 31, 2015, there was $17.3 million of deferred financing costs related to the Company's mortgage notes, term loans and senior unsecured notes that were previously reported within “prepaid expenses, deferred financing costs and other assets, net” that were reclassified in accordance with ASU 2015-03 to their respective debt liability financial statement line items on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update
In JanuaryBetween May 2014 and May 2016, the FASB issued three Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) changing the requirements for recognizing and reporting revenue (together, herein referred to as the “Revenue ASUs”): (i) ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall (Subtopic 825-10)No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2016-01”2014-09”), (ii) ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”) and (iii) ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”). ASU 2016-01 updates2014-09 provides guidance relatedfor revenue recognition to recognition and measurementdepict the transfer of financial assets and financial liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires all equity investmentspromised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be measured at fair value with changesentitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2016-08 is intended to improve the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidationoperability and understandability of the investee). The amendments inimplementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU 2016-01 also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income2016-12 provides practical expedients and improvements on the portionpreviously narrow scope of ASU 2014-09. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the total change inEffective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). ASU 2015-14 defers the fair valueeffective date of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has electedASU 2014-09 by one year to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2016-01 eliminate the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early2017. All subsequent ASUs related to ASU 2014-09, including ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-12, assumed the deferred effective date enforced by ASU 2015-14. Early adoption permitted.of the Revenue ASUs is permitted for annual periods, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2016. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in the Revenue ASUs using either a modified retrospective approach, by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or full retrospective approach. The Company has not yet elected a transition method and is currently evaluating the complete impact this guidanceof the adoption of the Revenue ASUs on January 1, 2018 to its consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures. The Company expects to complete its evaluation of the impacts of the Revenue ASUs during the second half of 2017. As the primary source of revenue for the Company is generated through leasing arrangements, which are excluded from the Revenue ASUs, the Company expects that the impact of the Revenue ASUs to the Company will be limited to the recognition of non-lease revenue, such as certain resident fees in its Managed Properties structures (a portion of which are not generated through leasing arrangements) and therefore are not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements when adopted.statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 supersedes guidance related to accounting for leases. ASU 2016-02 updates guidance around the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The objective of ASU 2016-02 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. ASU 2016-02 does not fundamentally change lessor accounting, however, some changes have been made to lessor accounting to conform and align that guidance with the lessee

guidance and other areas within GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements when adopted.

In March 2016,January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Equity Method and Joint Ventures2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 323)805): Clarifying the definition of a business (“ASU 2016-07”2017-01”). ASU 2016-07 simplifies2017-01 clarifies the accountingdefinition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for equity method investments. ASU 2016-07 eliminates the requirement in Topic 323 that an entity retroactively adopt the equity methodas acquisitions (or disposals) of accounting if an investment qualifies for usebusinesses. When substantially all of the equity method asfair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a resultsingle asset (or a group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. To be considered a business, an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. The amendments requireacquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investeetogether significantly contribute to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting.ability to create outputs. To be a business without outputs, there will now need to be an organized workforce. ASU 2016-072017-01 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016,2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will haveadopted ASU 2017-01 on its consolidated financial statements when adopted.
In MarchOctober 1, 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”).  ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2016-09 eliminate the guidance in Topic 718 that was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted.a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluatingexpects that the majority of its future acquisitions of real estate will be accounted for as asset acquisitions under the new guidance. This adoption will impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements when adopted.how the Company accounts for acquisition pursuit costs and contingent consideration which may result in lower expensed acquisition pursuit costs and eliminate fair value adjustments related to future contingent consideration arrangements.

(1) On March 1, 2017, the Company transitioned eight senior housing facilities into a managed property structure whereby the Company owns the operations of the facilities and the facilities are operated by a third-party property manager.
Contingent Consideration Arrangements
In connection with fourthree of its real estate acquisitions, the Company entered into contingent consideration arrangements. Under the contingent consideration arrangements, the Company may pay out additional amounts based on incremental value created through the improvement of operations of the acquired facility (a contingent consideration liability) or may be entitled to receive a portion of the original purchase price of the acquired facility if the facility does not meet certain performance hurdles (a contingent consideration asset). The estimated value of the contingent consideration liabilities at the time of purchase was $3.2 million. The estimated value of the contingent consideration asset at the time of purchase was $0. The contingent consideration amounts would be determined based on portfolio performance and the tenantfacility achieving certain performance hurdles during 2016 through 2018.2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, one earn-out arrangement expired and resulted in a $0 payout and a second earn-out arrangement was terminated in connection with the transition of the eight senior housing facilities to Managed Properties. To determine the value of the remaining contingent consideration arrangement, the Company used significant inputs not observable in the market to estimate the contingent consideration, made assumptions regarding the probability of the portfoliofacility achieving the incremental value and then applied an appropriate discount rate. As of March 31, 2016,2017, based on the potential future performance of these facilities,this facility, the contingent consideration liabilitiesliability had an estimated value of $2.7 million and the contingent consideration asset had an estimated value of $0.3 million; these amounts are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and prepaid expenses, deferred financing costs and other assets, net, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.$0. During the three months ended March 31, 2016,2017, the Company did not record any adjustmentsrecorded an adjustment to itsdecrease the contingent consideration liabilities or asset.liability by $0.8 million and included this amount in other income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
Operating Leases
As of March 31, 20162017, nearly all of the Company’s real estate properties (excluding 10 Managed Properties) were leased under triple-net operating leases with expirations ranging from one to 1716 years. As of March 31, 20162017, the leases had a weighted-average remaining term of 10nine years. The leases include provisions to extend the lease terms and other negotiated terms and conditions. The Company, through its subsidiaries, retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to the tenants. In addition, the Company may receive additional security under these operating leases in the form of letters of credit and security deposits from the lessee or guarantees from the parent of the lessee. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $1.42.0 million as of March 31, 20162017 and $1.3$2.7 million as of December 31, 2015.2016. As of March 31, 2016,2017, the Company had a $3.5$3.3 million reserve for unpaid cash rents and a $5.5$1.9 million reserve associated with accumulated straight-line rental income. As of December 31, 2015,2016, the Company had a $3.5$3.2 million reserve for unpaid cash rents and a $5.3$3.7 million reserve associated with accumulated straight-line rental income. As of March 31, 2016, the Company's three largest tenants, Genesis, Holiday and NMS Healthcare, represented 33.9%, 16.7% and 10.4%, respectively, of the Company's annualized revenues. Other than these three tenants, none of the Company’s tenants individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s annualized revenues

The Company has entered into memoranda of understanding with Genesis to market for sale 35 skilled nursing facilities and the Company has made certain other lease and corporate guarantee amendments for the remaining 43 facilities leased to Genesis. On April 1, 2017, the Company completed the sale of one of these facilities. Marketing of the remaining 34 facilities is ongoing and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2017; provided, however that there can be no assurances that the Company will successfully complete these sales on the terms or timing contemplated by the memoranda of understanding, or at all.

The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its tenants by reviewing credit ratings (if available) and evaluating the ability of the tenants to meet their lease obligations to the Company based on the tenants’ financial performance, including the evaluation of any parent guarantees (or the guarantees of other related parties) of tenant lease obligations. Because formal credit ratings may not be available for most of the Company’s tenants, the primary basis for the Company’s evaluation of the credit quality of its tenants (and more specifically the tenants’ ability to pay their rent obligations to the Company) is the tenants’ lease coverage ratios. These coverage ratios include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”) to rent and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent and management fees (“EBITDARM”) to rent at the facilitylease level and consolidated EBITDAR to total fixed charges at the parent guarantor level when such a guarantee exists. The Company obtains various financial and operational information from its tenants each month and reviews this information in conjunction with the above-described coverage metrics to identify financial and operational trends, evaluate the impact of the industry's operational and financial environment (including the impact of government reimbursement), and evaluate the management of the tenant’s operations. These metrics help the Company identify potential areas of concern relative to its tenants’ credit quality and ultimately the tenants’ ability to generate sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, including its obligation to continue to pay the rent due to the Company.

As of March 31, 20162017, the future minimum rental payments from the Company’s properties held for investment under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
On September 10, 2014, the Operating Partnership entered into an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”) that provided for a borrowing capacity of $650.0 million and provided an accordion feature allowing for an additional $100.0 million of capacity, subject to terms and conditions. On October 10, 2014, the Operating Partnership converted $200.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility to a term loan. Concurrent with the term loan conversion, the Company entered into a five-year interest rate cap contract that caps LIBOR at 2.0%.
Borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility bore interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Operating Partnership's option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (referred to as the “Base Rate”). The applicable percentage for borrowings varied based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the credit agreement for the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, and ranged from 2.00% to 2.60% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 1.00% to 1.60% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. As of December 31, 2015, the interest rate on the Prior Revolving Credit Facility was 3.03%. In addition, the Operating Partnership was required to pay an unused fee to the lenders equal to 0.25% or 0.35% per annum based on the amount of unused borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility.
On June 10, 2015, Sabra Canadian Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a new Canadian dollar denominated term loan of CAD $90.0 million (U.S. $73.2 million) (the "Prior Canadian Term Loan") that bore a variable interest rate of the Canadian Dollar Offer Rate (“CDOR”) plus 2.00%-2.60% depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. Concurrently with entering into the Prior Canadian Term Loan, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the CDOR portion of the interest rate for this term loan at 1.59%. In addition, the Prior Canadian Term Loan was designated as a net investment hedge (see Note 7, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments” for further information).
On January 14, 2016, the Operating Partnership and Sabra Canadian Holdings, LLC (together, the “Borrowers”), entered into a third amended and restated unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility amends and restates the a Prior Revolving Credit Facility and replaces the Prior Canadian Term Loan.


The Credit Facility includes a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar term loans (collectively, the “Term Loans”). The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity of $500.0 million and, in addition, increases the Company's U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar term loans to $245.0 million and CAD $125.0 million, respectively. Further, up to $125.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for borrowings in certain foreign currencies. The Credit Facility also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $1.25 billion, subject to terms and conditions. In addition, the Canadian dollar term loan was re-designated as a net investment hedge (see Note 7, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments” for further information).

The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of January 14, 2020, and includes two six-month extension options. The Term Loans have a maturity date of January 14, 2021.

As of March 31, 2016,2017, there was $198.0$17.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $302.0$483.0 million available for borrowing.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Operating Partnership's option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (the "Base Rate"). The applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, and will range from 1.80% to 2.40% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 0.80% to 1.40% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. As of March 31, 2016,2017, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 2.84%2.98%. In addition, the Operating Partnership pays an unused facility fee to the lenders equal to 0.25% or 0.30% per annum, which is determined by usage under the Revolving Credit Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred $1.5 million in interest expense on amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $0.2 million of unused facility fees.
    
The U.S. dollar term loan bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Operating Partnership’s option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) the Base Rate. The applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, and will range from 1.75% to 2.35% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 0.75% to 1.35% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. The Canadian dollar

term loan bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to the Canadian Dollar Offer Rate (“CDOR”) plus 1.75% to 2.35% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio.

On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the CDOR portion of the interest rate for this CAD $90.0 million term loan at 1.59%. In addition, CAD $90.0 million of the Canadian dollar term loan was designated as a net investment hedge (see Note 7, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments” for further information). On August 10, 2016, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate for its $245.0 million U.S. dollar term loan at 0.90% and one interest rate swap agreement to fix the CDOR portion on CAD $35.0 million of its Canadian dollar term loan at 0.93%.

In the event that Sabra achieves investment grade ratings from at least two of S&P, Moody’s and/or Fitch, the Operating Partnership can elect to reduce the applicable percentage for LIBOR or Base Rate borrowings. If the Operating Partnership makes this election, the applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Debt Ratings at each Pricing Level, as defined in the credit agreement, and will range from 0.90% to 1.70% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, 1.00% to 1.95% per annum for LIBOR or CDOR based borrowings under the Term Loans, 0.00% to 0.70% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate under the Revolving Credit Facility, and 0.00% to 0.95% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate under the U.S. dollar term loan. In addition, should the Operating Partnership elect this option, the unused fee will no longer apply and a facility fee ranging between 0.125% and 0.300% per annum will take effect based on the borrowing capacity regardless of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by Sabra and certain subsidiaries of Sabra.
The Credit Facility contains customary covenants that include restrictions or limitations on the ability to make acquisitions and other investments, pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, engage in non-healthcare related business activities, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or otherwise transfer certain assets as well as customary events of default. The Credit Facility also requires Sabra, through the Operating Partnership, to comply with specified financial covenants, which include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. As of March 31, 2016,2017, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

7.    DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
7.DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.
Certain of the Company’s foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value in the Company’s functional currency, the U.S. dollar, of the Company’s investment in foreign operations, the cash receipts and payments related to these foreign operations and payments of interest and principal under Canadian dollar denominated debt. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value of its foreign investments and fix a portion of the interest payments for certain debt obligations. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The notional value of the Company's interest rate cap was $200.0 million as of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The notional value of the Company's interest rate swap was CAD $90.0 million as of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (U.S. $69.4 million and U.S. $64.9 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively). Approximately $1.3$3.0 million of losses, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, as of March 31, 2016,2017, are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months. In 2016 the Company terminated its interest rate cap, generating cash proceeds of $0.3 million. The balance of the loss in other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings through 2019.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in Canada. The Company uses cross currency interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on these foreign investments.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
As of March 31, 2016,2017, the Company had no derivatives with a fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $1.1 million. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2016, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $1.1 million.position.

8.FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Financial Instruments

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments.

Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and whose markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments whose markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable,

accrued liabilities and the Credit Facility are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fair values for other financial instruments are derived as follows:

Loans receivable: These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost and not at fair value. The fair value of the loans receivable were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected cash flows for the loans receivable, the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 3 inputs.3.

Preferred equity investments: These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their cost and not at fair value. The fair value of the preferred equity investments were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected future cash flows for the preferred equity investment, the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 3 inputs.3.

Derivative instruments: The Company’s derivative instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the fair value of derivative instruments, including its interest rate cap, interest rate swap and cross currency swaps, using the assistance of a third party using inputs that are observable in the market, which includes forward yield curves and other relevant information. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative financial instruments fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative financial instruments utilize level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative financial instruments valuations in their entirety are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.


Senior Notes: These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their outstanding principal balance, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and premiums (discounts) and not at fair value. The fair values of the Senior Notes were determined using third-party market quotes derived from orderly trades. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 2 inputs.2.

Mortgage indebtedness: These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their outstanding principal balance, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and premiums (discounts) and not at fair value. The fair values of the Company’s mortgage notes payable were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 3 inputs.3.
The following are the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value (in thousands):

Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company at the applicable dates and requires a significant amount of judgment. Despite increased capital market and credit market activity, transaction volume for certain financial instruments remains relatively low. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of fair value at a future date could be materially different.

The Company entered into contingent consideration arrangements as a result of fourthree acquisitions of real estate (see Note 3, “Real Estate Properties Held for Investment”). During the three months ended March 31, 2017, one earn-out arrangement expired and resulted in a $0 payout and a second earn-out arrangement was terminated in connection with the transition of the eight senior housing facilities to Managed Properties. In order to determine the fair value of the Company’s remaining contingent consideration arrangements, the Company used significant inputs not observable in the market to estimate the contingent consideration. In addition to using an appropriate discount rate, theThe Company used projectionsfinancial information provided by the facilitiesfacility to estimate future earnings at the facilities, then developed probability-weighted scenarios of the potential future performance of the tenant and the resulting payout from these scenarios.possible payout.

Preferred Stock
On March 21, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 5.8 million shares of 7.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at a price of $25.00 per share, pursuant to an effective registration statement. The Company received net proceeds of $138.3 million from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. The Company classified the par value as preferred equity on its condensed consolidated balance sheets with the balance of the liquidation preference, net of any issuance costs, recorded as an increase in paid-in capital.
The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock rank senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its affairs. At March 31, 20162017, there were no dividends in arrears.
The Series A Preferred Stock does not have a stated maturity date, but the Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock on or after March 21, 2018, for $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock prior to March 21, 2018, in limited circumstances to preserve its status as a REIT or pursuant to a specified change of control. Upon the occurrence of a specified change of control, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to convert some or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equivalent to $25.00 plus accrued and unpaid dividends, but not to exceed a cap of 1.7864 shares of common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock (subject to certain adjustments).

Upon any payment of shares as a result of restricted stock unit vestings, the participant is required to satisfy the related tax withholding obligation. The 2009 Performance Incentive Plan provides that the Company has the right at its option to (a) require the participant to pay such tax withholding or (b) reduce the number of shares to be delivered by a number of shares necessary to satisfy the related minimum applicable statutory tax withholding obligation. During the three months ended March 31, 2016,2017, pursuant to advance elections made by certain participants, the Company incurred $1.1$2.6 million in tax withholding obligations on behalf of its employees that were satisfied through a reduction in the number of shares delivered to those participants.

Certain restricted stock units are considered participating securities because dividend payments are not forfeited even if the underlying award does not vest. Accordingly, the Company uses the two-class method when computing basic and diluted earnings per share. During the three months ended March 31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, approximately 54,000130 and 30054,000 restricted stock units, respectively, were not included in computing diluted earnings per share because they were considered anti-dilutive.

11.SUMMARIZED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION
In connection with the offerings of the Senior Notes by the Issuers, the Company and certain 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Senior Notes, subject to release under certain customary circumstances as described below. These guarantees are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt and senior guarantees of the Guarantors and are unsecured. The Company conducts all of its business through and derives virtually all of its income from its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company’s ability to make required payments with respect to its indebtedness (including the Senior Notes) and other obligations depends on the financial results and condition of its subsidiaries and its ability to receive funds from its subsidiaries.

A Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the guarantees with respect to the Senior Notes in the event of:
Any sale of the subsidiary Guarantor or of all or substantially all of its assets;
A merger or consolidation of a subsidiary Guarantor with an issuer of the Senior Notes or another Guarantor, provided that the surviving entity remains a Guarantor;
A subsidiary Guarantor is declared “unrestricted” for covenant purposes under the Senior Notes Indentures;
The requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the Senior Notes Indentures have been satisfied;
A liquidation or dissolution, to the extent permitted under the Senior Notes Indentures, of a subsidiary Guarantor; and
The release or discharge of the guaranty that resulted in the creation of the subsidiary guaranty, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guaranty.
Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the following summarized condensed consolidating information is provided for the Company (the “Parent Company”), the Issuers, the Guarantors, and the Company’s non-Guarantor subsidiaries with respect to the Senior Notes. This summarized financial information has been prepared from the books and records maintained by the Company, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the non-Guarantor subsidiaries. The summarized financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the Issuers, the Guarantors or non-Guarantor subsidiaries operated as independent entities. Sabra’s investments in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented based upon Sabra's proportionate share of each subsidiary's net assets. The Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in the non-Guarantor subsidiaries and non-Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in Guarantor subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. Intercompany activities between subsidiaries and the Parent Company are presented within operating activities on the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows.
Condensed consolidating financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Parent Company only, the Issuers, the combined Guarantor subsidiaries and the combined non-Guarantor subsidiaries, are as follows:

The Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities. As of March 31, 2016,2017, the Company does not expect that compliance with existing environmental laws will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Income Taxes
As a result of the Company’s separation from Sun effective November 15, 2010 (the “Separation Date”), the Company is the surviving taxpayer for income tax purposes. Accordingly, tax positions taken prior to the Separation Date remained the Company’s obligations after the Separation Date. Sun agreed to indemnify the Company against, among other things, federal, state and local taxes (including penalties and interest) related to periods prior to the Separation Date to the extent the deferred tax assets allocated to the Company are not sufficient and/or cannot be utilized to satisfy these taxes.
Effective December 1, 2012, Sun was acquired by Genesis HealthCare LLC. As a result of its acquisition of Sun, Genesis HealthCare LLC became successor to the obligations of Sun described above. Effective February 2, 2015, Genesis HealthCare LLC combined with Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. and now operates under the name Genesis Healthcare, Inc.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those which are discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this 10-Q. Also see “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is organized as follows:
Overview
Critical Accounting Policies
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Concentration of Credit Risk
Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates
Obligations and Commitments
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Overview
We operate as a self-administered, self-managed REIT that, through our subsidiaries, owns and invests in real estate serving the healthcare industry.
Our primary business consists of acquiring, financing and owning real estate property to be leased to third party tenants in the healthcare sector.sector using triple-net operating leases. We primarily generate revenues by leasing properties to tenants and operators throughout the United States and Canada.
Our investment portfolio is primarily comprised of skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, senior housing facilities, an acute care hospitals,hospital leased to third-party operators; senior housing facilities operated under third-party management agreements (“Managed Properties”); debt investmentsinvestments; and preferred equity investments.
Our objectives are to grow our investment portfolio while diversifying our portfolio by tenant, asset class and geography within the healthcare sector. We plan to achieve these objectives primarily through making investments directly or indirectly in healthcare real estate. We may also achieve our objective of diversifying our portfolio by tenant and asset class through select asset sales and other arrangements with Genesis and other tenants. We have entered into memoranda of understanding with Genesis to market for sale 35 skilled nursing facilities and we have made certain other lease and corporate guarantee amendments for the remaining 43 facilities leased to Genesis. Upon completion of the sales, these asset sales and amendments will have the benefit of reducing our net operating income concentration in Genesis and skilled nursing facilities, as well as strengthening our remaining Genesis-operated portfolio through the lease term extensions and guarantee enhancements; provided, however that there can be no assurances that we will successfully complete these sales on the terms or timing contemplated by the memoranda of understanding, or at all, in which event we may not achieve the anticipated benefits from such sales. On April 1, 2017, we completed the sale of one of these facilities. Marketing of the remaining 34 facilities is ongoing and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2017.
We expect to continue to grow our portfolio primarily through the acquisition of assisted living, independent living and memory care facilities in the U.S. and with a secondary focus on acquiringCanada and through the acquisition of skilled nursing and nursing/transitional care facilities.facilities in the U.S. We have and will continue to opportunistically acquire other types of healthcare real estate, originate financing secured directly or indirectly by healthcare facilities and invest in the development of senior housing and skilled nursing/transitional care facilities. We also expect to expand our portfolio through the development of purpose-built healthcare facilities through pipeline agreements and other arrangements with select developers. We further expect to work with existing operators to identify strategic development opportunities. These opportunities may involve replacing or renovating facilities in our portfolio that may have become less competitive and new development opportunities that present attractive risk-adjusted returns. In addition to pursuing acquisitions with triple-net leases, we expect to continue to pursue other forms of investment, including investments in senior housing through RIDEA-compliant structures,Managed Properties, mezzanine and secured debt investments, and joint ventures for senior housing and skilled nursing/transitional care facilities.

In general, we originate loans and make preferred equity investments when an attractive investment opportunity is presented and either (a) the property is in or near the development phase or (b) the development of the property is completed but the operations of the facility are not yet stabilized. A key component of our strategy related to loan originations and preferred equity investments is our having the option to purchase the underlying real estate that is owned by our borrowers (and that directly or indirectly secures our loan investments) or by the joint ventureentity in which we have an investment. These options become exercisable upon the occurrence of various criteria, such as the passage of time or the achievement of certain operating goals, and the method to determine the purchase price upon exercise of the option is set in advance based on the same valuation methods we use to value our investments in healthcare real estate. This strategy allows us to diversify our revenue streams and build relationships with operators and developers, and provides us with the option to add new properties to our existing real estate portfolio if we determine that those properties enhance our investment portfolio and stockholder value at the time the options are exercisable.
As we acquire additional properties and expand our portfolio, we expect to further diversify by tenant, asset class and geography within the healthcare sector. We employ a disciplined, opportunistic approach in our healthcare real estate

investment strategy by investing in assets that provide attractive opportunities for dividend growth and appreciation of asset values, while maintaining balance sheet strength and liquidity, thereby creating long-term stockholder value.
We elected to be treated as a REIT with the filing of our U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2011. We believe that we have been organized and have operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in a manner to qualify as a REIT. We operate through an umbrella partnership, (commonlycommonly referred to as an UPREIT)UPREIT structure, in which substantially all of our properties and assets are held by Sabra Health Care Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in which we are the sole general partner and our wholly owned subsidiaries are currently the only limited partners, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

Dispositions
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we completed the sale of one skilled nursing facility for aggregate consideration of $0.4 million. The carrying values of the facility was $5.0 million, which resulted in a net loss of $4.6 million, after selling expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results is included in our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Except as described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2016.2017.

Results of Operations
As of March 31, 2017, our investment portfolio included 182 real estate properties held for investment, one asset held for sale, 10 investments in loans receivable and 12 preferred equity investments. As of March 31, 2016, our investment portfolio included 178 real estate properties held for investment, one asset held for sale, 17 investments in loans receivable and 10 preferred equity investments. As of March 31, 2015, our investment portfolio included 160 real estate properties held for investment, 14 investments in loans receivable and six preferred equity investments. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of owning acquired investments made in 2016 and 2015 that we have owned for an entire period and the anticipated future acquisition of additional investments. The results of operations presented for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are not directly comparable due to ongoing acquisition and disposition activity.

Rental Income
During the three months ended March 31, 20162017, we recognized $55.357.2 million of rental income compared to $49.5$55.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 20152016. The $5.8$1.9 million increase in rental income is primarily due to an increase of $10.1$3.7 million from properties acquired after January 1, 20152016, offset by a decrease of $0.7 million from properties disposed of after January 1, 20152016. The increase is further offset by and a $3.6decrease of $0.8 million decrease in rental income primarily relateddue to our decisionthe eight senior housing facilities that were transitioned to stop recognizing revenues related to Forest Park - Frisco during the three months endedManaged Properties on March 31, 2016.1, 2017. Amounts due under the terms of all of our lease agreements are subject to contractual increases, and contingent rental income may be derived from certain lease agreements. No material contingent rental income was derived during the three months ended March 31, 20162017 and 2015.2016.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income primarily consists of income earned on our loans receivable investments and preferred returns earned on our preferred equity investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2016,2017, we recognized $5.3$1.9 million of interest and other income compared to $5.4$5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Interest and other income during the three months ended March 31, 20162016. The decrease of $3.4 million is primarily consisted of income earned on our 17 loans receivable investments and preferred dividends on 10 preferred equity investments.

Duringduring the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized $1.1 million of interest income related to our investment2016. This loan was repaid in the Forest Park - Fort Worth construction loan and $2.2 million of interest income related to our investment in the Forest Park - Dallas mortgage loan.2016.
Resident Fees and Services
    
During the three months ended March 31, 2016,2017, we recognized $1.9$3.5 million of resident fees and services compared to $0.7$1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.2016. The increase of $1.2$1.6 million is primarily due to the investment in one

additional RIDEA-compliant investment in November 2015.eight senior housing facilities that were transitioned to Managed Properties on March 1, 2017.
Depreciation and Amortization
During the three months ended March 31, 2016,2017, we incurred $17.8$19.1 million of depreciation and amortization expense compared to $14.217.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 20152016. The $3.6$1.4 million net increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to an increase of $3.4$1.2 million from properties acquired after January 1, 2015,2016 and an increase of

$1.8 million due to the acceleration of the lease intangible amortization related to the eight senior housing facilities transitioned to Managed Properties, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2$1.6 million from properties disposed of after January 1, 2015.2016.
Interest Expense
We incur interest expense comprised of costs of borrowings plus the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our indebtedness. During the three months ended March 31, 20162017, we incurred $16.9$15.8 million of interest expense compared to $13.916.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 20152016. The $3.0$1.1 million net increasedecrease is primarily related to (i) a $0.6$1.2 million increasedecrease in interest expense related to the U.S. term loan, (ii) a $0.9 million increase in interest expense related to the Canadian term loan, (iii) a $1.0 million increase in interest expense related to thelower borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2016and (iv)(ii) a $0.5$0.2 million increasedecrease in interest expense primarily due to the increaseddecreased average balance outstanding on mortgage note borrowings. See Note 6, “Debt,”borrowings, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in the Notesamortization expense related to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loans (defined below).our interest rate hedges.

Operating Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2016,2017, we recognized $1.4$2.4 million of operating expenses compared to $0.5$1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.2016. The increase of $0.9$1.0 million is primarily due to the investment in one additional RIDEA-compliant investment in November 2015.eight senior housing facilities that were transitioned to Managed Properties on March 1, 2017.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include compensation-related expenses as well as professional services, office costs, and other costs associated with acquisition pursuit activities and asset management. During the three months ended March 31, 20162017, general and administrative expenses were $4.76.9 million compared to $6.44.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 20152016. The $1.6$2.2 million decrease increase is primarily related to (i) a $0.3an $0.8 million decrease of non-RIDEA facility operating expenses associated with transitioning two assets to new operators,increase in stock-based compensation, (ii) a $0.2$0.7 million decreaseincrease in legal and professional fees primarily due the increased number of investments and (iii) a $0.5 million increase in expensed acquisition pursuit costs from $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 which wasto $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily relateddue to a decreasethe Merger with CCP. The increase in our acquisition activitystock-based compensation expense, from $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and (iii) a $1.1 million decrease in stock-based compensation. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense, from $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015to $1.8$2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016,2017, is primarily duerelated to the change in performance-based vesting assumptions on management's equity compensation and the change in our stock price during the three months ended March 31, 2016 (a decrease2017 (an increase of $0.14$3.51 per share) compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 (an increase2016 (a decrease of $2.78$0.14 per share) associated with annual stock bonuses.. We issued stock to employees who elected to receive annual bonuses in stock rather than in cash and therefore changes in our stock price will result in changes to our bonus expense. We expect acquisition pursuit costs to fluctuate from period to period depending on acquisition activity. We also expect stock-based compensation expense to fluctuate from period to period depending upon changes in our stock price and estimates associated with performance-based compensation.
Provision for Doubtful Accounts and Loan Losses
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized $1.8 million in provision for doubtful accounts and loans losses. Of the $1.8 million provision, $0.1 million is due to an increase in reserves on cash rental income, $1.6 million is due to an increase in loan loss reserves and a $44,000 increase in reserves on straight-line rental income. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized $2.5 million in provision for doubtful accounts. Of the $2.5 million provision, $0.1 million is due to an increase in general reserves on straight-line rental income and $2.4 million relatedis due to an increase in loan loss reserves.
Impairment of Real Estate
During the three months ended March 31, 2015,2017, no impairment of real estate was recorded. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized $1.1$29.8 million of provision for doubtful accounts primarilyimpairment of real estate related to rents due from ourthe sale of the Forest Park - Frisco tenant.hospital.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
We did not recognize any loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized $0.6 million of loss on extinguishment of debt related to write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with amending the Prior Revolving Credit Facility and Prior Canadian Term Loan (defined below). We did not recognize any loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Other ExpenseIncome
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, no adjustment to the fair value of our contingent consideration liability

or asset was recorded. During the three months ended March 31, 2015,2017, we recognized $0.1$2.1 million of other income. The $2.1 million in other expenseincome is due to $1.3 million amortization of lease termination payments related to a memoranda of understanding entered into with Genesis regarding five Genesis facilities (of which three were owned as of March 31, 2017) and $0.8 million is a result of adjusting the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to onethe acquisition of real estate properties.a senior housing facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we did not incur any other income/loss.

Net LossGain (Loss) on Sales of Real Estate
There were no real estate sales during the three months ended March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized a loss on the sale of real estate of $4.6 million related to the disposition of one skilled nursing facility as discussed innursing/transitional care facility. See Note 4, “Assets Held for Sale and Dispositions” for additional information.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
We believe that net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”), as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and adjusted funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“AFFO”) (and related per share amounts) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of our 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. However, 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 attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding straight-line rental income adjustments, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and expensed acquisition pursuit costs, as well as other non-cash revenue and expense items (including provisions and write-offs related to straight-line rental income, provision for loan losses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, amortization of debt premiums/discounts and non-cash interest income adjustments). We believe that the use of FFO and AFFO (and the related per share amounts), combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among REITs more meaningful. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding the applicable items listed above, FFO and AFFO can help investors compare our operating performance between periods or as compared to other companies. While FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and AFFO also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor do they purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO 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 AFFO differently than we do.
The following table reconciles our calculations of FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 20162017 and 20152016, to net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same periods (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

(1) On October 1, 2016, we early-adopted ASU 2017-01, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as business acquisitions. All real estate acquisitions completed subsequent to October 1, 2016 were considered asset acquisitions and we have capitalized acquisition pursuit costs associated with these acquisitions, including those costs incurred prior to October 1, 2016. Acquisitions completed prior to October 1, 2016 were deemed business combinations and the related acquisition pursuit costs were expensed as incurred.
(2) Other non-cash adjustments includes amortization of debt premiums/discounts, non-cash interest income adjustments and amortization expense related to our interest rate hedges.
Set forth below is additional information related to certain other items included in net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders above, which may be helpful in assessing our operating results. Please see the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for details of our operating, investing, and financing cash activities.
Significant Items Included in FFO and AFFO Attributable to Common Stockholders:

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized $2.1 million of other income. The $2.1 million consists of $1.3 million in lease termination payments related to a memorandum of understanding entered into with Genesis regarding five Genesis facilities (of which three were owned as of March 31, 2017) and $0.8 million related to decreasing the value of our contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of a senior housing facility. This amount in its entirety is included in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and $1.3 million is included in AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred $1.8 million in provision for doubtful accounts. Of the $1.8 million, $44,000 is due to an increase in straight-line rental income reserve, $0.1 million is due to an increase in reserves on cash rental revenue and $1.6 million is due to an increase in loan loss reserves. This entire amount is included in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $0.4 million is included in AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred $0.5 million of expensed acquisition costs in connection with the Merger with CCP. This entire amount is included in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized $0.6 million of loss on extinguishment of debt related to write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with amending the Prior Revolving Credit Facility and Prior Canadian Term Loan (defined below).dollar term loan. This entire amount is included in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized $2.5 million in provision for doubtful accounts. Of the $2.5 million, provision, $0.1 million is due to an increase in general reserves on straight-line rental income and $2.4 million relatedis due to an increase in loan loss reserves. This entire amount is included in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized $1.1 million of provision for doubtful accounts primarily related to rents due from our Forest Park - Frisco tenant. This entire amount is included in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and $1.0 million is included in AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized $0.1 million of other expense as a result of adjusting the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to one acquisition of a real estate property. This entire amount is included in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized $0.3 million of non-RIDEA facility operating expenses associated with transitioning two assets to new operators. This entire amount is included in FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2016,2017, we had approximately $311.0$495.8 million in liquidity, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $9.0$12.8 million (excluding joint venture cash and cash equivalents associated with our RIDEA-compliant joint venture)equivalents), and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility of $302.0$483.0 million. The Credit Facility also contains an accordion

feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $1.25 billion (from U.S. $745.0 million plus CAD $125.0 million), subject to terms and conditions.
We have filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC that expires in January 2020, which will allow us to offer and sell shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, units, and certain of our subsidiaries to offer and sell debt securities, through underwriters, dealers or agents or directly to purchasers, on a continuous or delayed basis, in amounts, at prices and on terms we determine at the time of the offering, subject to market conditions.
We believe that our available cash, operating cash flows and borrowings available to us under the Revolving Credit Facility provide sufficient funds for our operations, scheduled debt service payments with respect to our Senior Notes, (defined below), mortgage indebtedness on our properties, and dividend requirements for the next twelve months. In addition, we do not believe that the restrictions under our Senior Notes Indentures (defined below) significantly limit our ability to use our available liquidity for these purposes.
We intend to invest in additional healthcare properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of financing are available. We expect that future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly-acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed, in whole or in part, by our existing cash, borrowings available to us under our Revolving Credit Facility, future borrowings or the proceeds from issuances of common stock, preferred stock, debt or other securities. In addition, we may seek financing from U.S. government agencies, including through Fannie Mae and HUD, in appropriate circumstances in connection with acquisitions.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $24.7$31.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 20162017. Operating cash inflows were derived primarily from the rental payments received under our lease agreements and interest payments from borrowers under our loan investments. Operating cash outflows consisted primarily of interest on borrowings and payment of general and administrative expenses, including expensed acquisition pursuit costs. We expect our annualized cash flows provided by operating activities to increase as a result of completedcosts and anticipated future real estate investments.corporate overhead.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 20162017, net cash provided byused in investing activities was $2.0$1.0 million and consisted of $8.9 million in repayments of loans receivable and $0.4 million in sales proceeds related to the disposition of one skilled nursing/transitional care facility, partially offset by $5.9$0.5 million used to provide additional funding for existing loans receivable, $1.0$0.1 million used to fund existing preferred equity investments and $0.5 million used for tenant improvements.improvements, partially offset by $0.1 million in repayments of loans receivable.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans. On September 10, 2014, the Operating Partnership entered into a second amended and restated unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”) with certain lenders as set forth in the related credit agreement and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (each as defined in such credit agreement).
The Prior Revolving Credit Facility provided for a borrowing capacity of $650.0 million and provided an accordion feature allowing for an additional $100.0 million of capacity, subject to terms and conditions, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity of $750.0 million. The Operating Partnership also had an option to convert up to $200.0 million of the Prior Revolving Credit Facility to a term loan subject to terms and conditions. On October 10, 2014, the Operating Partnership converted $200.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility to a term loan.
On June 10, 2015, Sabra Canadian Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a new Canadian dollar denominated term loan of CAD $90.0 million (the "Prior Canadian Term Loan").
On January 14, 2016, the Borrowers entered into a third amended and restated Credit Facility. The Credit Facility amends and restates the Prior Revolving Credit Facility and replaces the Prior Canadian Term Loan.

The Credit Facility also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $1.25 billion, subject to terms and conditions.
The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries.
See Note 6, “Debt,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the Credit Facility, including information regarding covenants contained in the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 20162017, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Facility.

Capital Expenditures
There were $0.5 million and $0.7 million of capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 20162017 and 2015, respectively.2016. The capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 20162017 and March 31, 20152016 include $1,000 and $0.1 million, and $3,000, respectively, of capital expenditures for corporate office needs. There are no present plans for the improvement or development of any unimproved or undeveloped property; however, from time to time we may agree to fund improvements our tenants make at our facilities. Accordingly, we anticipate that our aggregate capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months will not exceed $4.0$8.0 million, and that such expenditures will principally be for improvements to our facilities whichand result in incremental rental income, and corporate capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are expected to be funded by existing cash balances, cash generated from operations or additional borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.income.
Dividends
We paid dividends of $29.330.0 million on our common and preferred stock during the three months ended March 31, 20162017. On May 2, 20168, 2017, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.420.43 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on May 31, 20162017 to common stockholders of record as of May 16, 201618, 2017. Also on May 2, 20168, 2017, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4453125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend will be paid on May 31, 20162017 to preferred stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 16, 201618, 2017.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risks arise when a number of operators, tenants or obligors related to our investments are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to us, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of risks.
Management believes our current portfolio is reasonably diversified across healthcare related real estate and geographical location and does not contain any other significant concentration of credit risks. Our portfolio of 178182 real estate properties held for investment as of March 31, 20162017 is diversified by location across the United States and Canada.
As of March 31, 2016, our three largest tenants, Genesis, Holiday and NMS Healthcare, represented 33.9%, 16.7% and 10.4%, respectively, of our annualized revenues. Other than these three tenants, none of the Company’s tenants individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s annualized revenuesThe following table provides information regarding significant tenant relationships as of March 31, 2016. The obligations under all three master leases are guaranteed by their respective parent entities.2017 (dollars in thousands):

Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates
As of March 31, 2016, 59.2%A portion of our annualized revenues wasrevenue is derived directly or indirectly from skilled nursing/transitional care facilities. Medicare reimburses skilled nursing facilities for Medicare Part A services under the Prospective Payment System (“PPS”), as implemented pursuant to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and modified pursuant to subsequent laws, most recently the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the “Affordable Care Act”).2010. PPS regulations predetermine a payment amount per patient, per day, based on a market basket index calculated for all covered costs. The amount to be paid is determined by classifying each patient into one of 66 Resource Utilization Group (“RUG”) categories that represent the level of services required to treat different conditions and levels of acuity.
The current system of 66 RUG categories, or Resource Utilization Group version IV (“RUG IV”), became effective as of October 1, 2010. RUG IV resulted from research performed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and was part of CMS's continuing effort to increase the correlation of the cost of services to the condition of individual patients.
On April 27, 2017, CMS issued a proposed rule updating Medicare payments to SNFs under the prospective payment system (PPS) for federal fiscal year 2018, which CMS estimates would increase payments to SNFs by an aggregate of 1.0% compared to federal fiscal year 2017. Additionally, in the proposed rule, CMS proposed to revise and rebase the market basket index for federal fiscal year 2018 and subsequent federal fiscal years by updating the base year from 2010 to 2014, and by adding a new cost category for Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Services. CMS also proposed additional polices, measures and data reporting requirements for the Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Reporting Program, as well as requirements for the Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing Program, including an exchange function to translate SNF performance scores calculated using the program’s scoring methodology into certain incentive payments.
On July 31, 2015,29, 2016, CMS released final fiscal year 20162017 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities providing a net increase of 1.2% over fiscal year 2015 payments (comprised of a market basket increase of 2.3% less 0.6% for a forecast error adjustment and less the productivity adjustment of 0.5%).
On April 21, 2016, CMS released projections for fiscal year 2017 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities of a net increase of 2.1%2.4% over fiscal year 2016 payments (comprised of a market basket increase of 2.6%2.7% less the productivity adjustment of 0.5%0.3%). The new payment rates became effective on October 1, 2016.

On November 16, 2015, CMS finalized the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (“CJR”) model, which began April 1, 2016, which will hold hospitals accountable for the quality of care they deliver to Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries for hip and knee replacements and/or other major leg procedures from surgery through recovery. Through this payment model, hospitals in 67 geographic areas will receive additional payments if quality and spending performance are strong or, if not, potentially have to repay Medicare for a portion of the spending for care surrounding a lower extremity joint replacement (LEJR) procedure. As a result, Medicare revenues derived at skilled nursing facilities related to lower extremity joint replacement hospital discharges could be positively or negatively impacted in those geographic areas identified by CMS for mandatory participation in the bundled payment program.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks, primarily related to adverse changes in interest rates and the exchange rate for Canadian dollars. We use derivative instruments in the normal course of business to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. See Note 7, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our derivative instruments.
Interest rate risk. As of March 31, 2016,2017, our indebtedness included $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding, $178.0$162.8 million of mortgage indebtedness to third parties on certain of the properties that our subsidiaries own, $341.4$338.8 million in term loansTerm Loans and $198.0$17.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2016,2017, we had $539.4$355.8 million of outstanding variable rate indebtedness. In addition, as of March 31, 2016,2017, we had $302.0$483.0 million available for borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility.
We expect to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rates for our indebtedness. We also may manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings through interest rate cap or swap agreements. As of March 31, 2016,2017, we had two interest rate derivative instruments: a 2.0%swaps that fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate cap on $200.0for the LIBOR-based borrowings under the $245.0 million of LIBOR–based borrowingsU.S. dollar term loan at 0.90% and antwo interest rate swapswaps that fixesfix the CDOR portion of the interest rate for CAD $90.0 million and CAD $35.0 million of CDOR-based borrowings at 1.59%. and 0.93%, respectively.
From time to time, we may borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility to finance future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly acquired properties, or for other purposes. Because borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at our option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, the interest rate we will be required to pay on any such borrowings will depend on then applicable rates and may vary. An increase in interest rates could make the financing of any investment by us costlier.more costly. Rising interest rates could also limit our ability to refinance our debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness.
Assuming a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate related to our variable rate debt and after giving effect to the impact of interest rate swap and cap derivative instruments, and assuming no other changes in the outstanding balance as of March 31, 2016, interest expense would increase by $4.4$0.2 million for the twelve months following March 31, 2016.2017. As of March 31, 2016,2017, the index underlying our variable rate mortgagesdebt was below 100 basis points and if this index was reduced to zero during the twelve months following March 31, 2016,2017, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by $1.9$0.2 million.

Foreign currency risk. We are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates as a result of our investments in Canadian real estate. Our foreign currency exposure is partially mitigated through the use of Canadian dollar denominated debt totaling CAD $148.7$148.1 million and cross currency swap instruments. Based on our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016,2017, if the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar were to increase or decrease by 10% compared to the average exchange rate during the three months ended March 31, 2016,2017, our cash flows would have decreased or increased, as applicable, by $0.1 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 20162017 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 20162017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party to, and none of their respective property is the subject of, any material legal proceeding, although we are from time to time party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

ThereOther than the addition of the risk factors below, there have been no material changes in our assessment of our risk factors from those set forth in our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Merger may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all.
On May 7, 2017, we and the Operating Partnership entered into a Merger Agreement with CCP, CCPLP and Merger Sub pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, CCP will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation. The combined company will retain the Sabra name. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of CCP common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive 1.123 shares of Sabra common stock. The proposed Merger has been unanimously approved by our board of directors and the board of directors of CCP, and we expect to complete the transaction during the third calendar quarter of 2017, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. These closing conditions include: (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of CCP common stock entitled to vote at a special meeting of the CCP stockholders held for that purpose, (ii) the approval of the issuance of Company common stock in connection with the Merger by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Company common stock at a special meeting of the Company stockholders held for that purpose, (iii) the shares of Company common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger will have been approved for listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, subject to official notice of issuance, (iv) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by the Company for purposes of registering the issuance of shares of Company common stock issuable in connection with the Merger, (v) the Company and CCP each having received certain tax opinions and (vi) the absence of any order or injunction preventing the consummation of the Merger or any material law rendering the consummation of the Merger illegal. Neither we nor CCP can provide assurances that the Merger will be consummated on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all.
The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in either our or CCP’s stock prices.
The Exchange Ratio is fixed in the Merger Agreement and will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of either Sabra common stock or CCP common stock. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors (many of which are beyond our control), including the following factors:
changes in the respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities and prospects of Sabra and CCP;
changes in market assessments of the business, operations, financial position and prospects of either company or the combined company;
market assessments of the likelihood that the Merger will be completed;
interest rates, general market and economic conditions and other factors generally affecting the price of Sabra common stock or CCP common stock;
federal, state and local legislation, governmental regulation and legal developments in the businesses in which we and CCP operate; and
other factors beyond the control of Sabra, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The price of Sabra common stock at the closing of the Merger may vary from the price on the date the Merger Agreement was executed and thereafter. As a result, the market value of the merger consideration we are paying as represented by the Exchange Ratio will also vary.
Our stockholders will be diluted by the Merger.
The Merger will dilute the ownership position of our stockholders. Upon completion of the Merger, our legacy stockholders will own approximately 41% of the issued and outstanding shares of Sabra common stock, and legacy CCP stockholders will own approximately 59% of the issued and outstanding shares of Sabra common stock. Consequently, our

stockholders will have less influence over our management and policies after the Effective Time of the Merger than they currently exercise over our management and policies.
Failure to complete the Merger could adversely affect our stock price and our future business and financial results.
If the Merger is not completed, our ongoing businesses may be adversely affected and we will be subject to numerous risks associated with the failure to complete the Merger, including the following:
Sabra having to pay substantial costs relating to the proposed Merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor, filing, printing and mailing fees and integration preparation costs that have already been incurred or will continue to be incurred until the closing of the Merger;
the management of Sabra focusing on the Merger instead of on pursuing other opportunities that could be beneficial to Sabra without realizing any of the benefits of having the Merger completed; and
reputational harm due to the adverse perception of any failure to successfully complete the Merger.

If the Merger is not completed, we cannot assure our stockholders that these risks will not materialize or will not materially affect the business, financial results and our stock price.
The pendency of the Merger could adversely affect our business and operations.
In connection with the pending Merger, some of our tenants or current or potential business partners may delay or defer decisions, which could adversely affect our revenues, earnings, funds from operations, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the Merger is completed. In addition, due to interim operating covenants in the Merger Agreement, we may be unable (without CCP’s prior written consent), during the pendency of the Merger, to pursue strategic investments, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial.
If the proposed Merger closes, we will face various additional risks.
If the proposed Merger closes, the combined company will face various additional risks, including, among others, the following:
the combined company expects to incur substantial expenses related to the Merger;
following the Merger, the combined company may be unable to integrate the businesses of our company and CCP successfully and realize the anticipated synergies and other benefits of the Merger or do so within the anticipated timeframe;
following the Merger, the combined company may be unable to implement its future plans;
following the Merger, the combined company may be unable to retain key employees; and
the future results of the combined company will suffer if the combined company does not effectively manage its expanded operations following the Merger.

Any of these risks could adversely affect the business and financial results of the combined company.
