  • The Trilogy segment, the largest in AHR's portfolio, showed significant growth, contributing to 71% of total NOI by the end of Q4 2024.

  • AHR's net debt to adjusted EBITDA improved significantly from 8.5 times at the end of 2023 to 4.3 times at the end of 2024, providing financial flexibility.

  • The company invested over $650 million in external growth in 2024 and plans further investments in 2025, including new acquisitions and development projects.

  • AHR's guidance for 2025 indicates expected double-digit NFFO per share growth, reflecting confidence in continued strong performance.

Negative Points

  • Potential policy changes in the healthcare sector, particularly related to Medicaid, pose uncertainty and could impact future operations.

  • The outpatient medical segment faces headwinds from expected tenant move-outs, which could affect occupancy and NOI growth.

  • Seasonal factors such as higher utility costs and fewer days in Q1 are expected to impact NOI growth sequentially.

  • The company anticipates modest sequential headwinds in Trilogy NOI in Q1 2025 due to compensation-related expenses and seasonal occupancy changes.

  • Despite strong growth, the company acknowledges that the pace of occupancy growth in the shop segment may not match the 600 basis points increase seen in 2024.
