Ensign Group Reports Q3 2026 Results via 8-K, Detailing Non-GAAP Measures Used in Press Release

The Ensign Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in San Juan Capistrano, California, filed the Form 8-K under Item 2.02 (Results of Operations and Financial Condition). According to the filing, the company issued a press release on October 27, 2026 covering its operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. The press release was attached as Exhibit 99.1. The company's principal executive offices are located at 29222 Rancho Viejo Road, Suite 127, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675.

The filing provides detailed definitions of each non-GAAP financial measure included in the press release. According to the filing, Adjusted EBT is defined as net income before provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related costs, system implementation costs, gain or loss on long-lived assets and business interruption recoveries, write off of deferred financing fees, litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business, gain on other investments, and amortization of patient base intangible assets. The filing notes that Adjusted EBITDAR excludes rent expense, which it describes as "a normal and recurring operating expense," and states the measure "is not displayed as a performance measure" for that reason.

The filing also describes Funds from Operations (FFO) as applicable to the company's Standard Bearer segment, which the filing identifies as a real estate segment. According to the filing, "the Company believes that the presentation of adjusted EBT, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and FFO provides important supplemental information to management and investors to evaluate the Company's operating performance." The filing cautions that these measures "may not be comparable with the calculation of net income and diluted earnings per share for other companies in the Company's industry" and that they "should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures."
