BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company has two reportable segments: (1) skilled services, which includes the operation of skilled nursing facilities and rehabilitation therapy services and (2) Standard Bearer, which is comprised of selected real estate properties owned by Standard Bearer and leased to skilled nursing and senior living operators.
As of December 31, 2025, the skilled services segment includes 326 skilled nursing and 31 campus operations that provide both skilled nursing and rehabilitative care services and senior living services. The Company's Standard Bearer segment consists of 152 owned real estate properties.
The Company also reports an “All Other” category that includes results from its senior living operations, which includes 16 stand-alone senior living operations and the senior living operations at 31 campus operations that provide both skilled nursing and rehabilitative care services and senior living services. In addition, the "All Other" category includes mobile diagnostics, medical transportation, other real estate, other ancillary operations and the Service Center. Services included in the “All Other” category are insignificant individually and therefore do not constitute a reportable segment.
The Company’s reportable segments are significant operating segments that offer differentiated services. The segment structure reflects the Company's current operational and financial management and provides the best structure to maximize the quality of care and investment strategy provided, while maintaining financial discipline.
Segment income is defined as income before provision for income taxes, excluding gain or loss from sale of real estate, real estate insurance recoveries and impairment of long-lived assets. The Company's chief operating decision maker or CODM, who is the Chief Executive Officer, reviews segment income for each operating segment to evaluate performance and allocate capital resources. The CODM uses segment income to analyze actual results as part of operational planning and to decide whether to reinvest profits into the segments or into other parts of the Company, such as through acquisitions, to pay dividends or to recommend a stock repurchase program. The Company's CODM does not review assets by segment in his resource allocation and therefore assets by segment are not disclosed below.
Intercompany revenue is eliminated in consolidation, along with corresponding intercompany expenses. Included in segment income for Standard Bearer is expense for intercompany services provided by the Service Center as described in Note 6, Standard Bearer, as it is part of the CODM financial information.

About Segments Disclosures

Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.

Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
