What is driving the updated 1% to 3% full-year same-store SHOP NOI growth outlook?
NHI’s management explicitly attributes the reset of the full-year same-store SHOP NOI growth outlook to 1%–3% to the continued underperformance of the legacy Holiday same-store pool, despite better performance elsewhere in SHOP. 1
The company frames the same-store reset as driven by issues that are concentrated:
While the legacy same-store drag is what drives the lower same-store growth range, NHI emphasizes that broader SHOP trends are stronger:
The updated 1%–3% full-year same-store SHOP NOI growth outlook is primarily driven by legacy Holiday same-store underperformance, specifically census/occupancy decline in a small number of assets and CapEx/lease-up delays—even though NHI believes the magnitude is limited because this legacy pool represents under ~4% of annualized NOI and overall SHOP growth momentum remains intact. 123
