JAN (NYSE:JAN) reported higher second-quarter revenue, adjusted EBITDA and funds from operations as the senior housing real estate investment trust benefited from organic growth and acquisitions completed during the first half of 2026.
Janus Living said consolidated revenue increased 45% year over year in the second quarter, while adjusted EBITDA rose 34% and FFO as adjusted per share increased 40%. Senior Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations Jonathan Hughes attributed the results to organic growth and the accretion from approximately $800 million of senior housing acquisitions completed in the first and second quarters.

Chief Executive Officer Scott Brinker said the company is pursuing a growth strategy focused on a 100% SHOP portfolio, direct relationships with operating partners and a debt-free balance sheet. The company has closed $1.8 billion of acquisitions year to date and expects to nearly double the size of its portfolio during 2026, according to Brinker.
Same-store operations show occupancy and margin gains
Same-store revenue increased 8.4% from a year earlier and 60 basis points sequentially, driven in part by 260 basis points of year-over-year occupancy growth. Independent living occupancy increased 350 basis points year over year, Hughes said.

Same-store occupancy increased 10 basis points sequentially, while revenue per occupied room, or RevPOR, increased 5.1% from a year earlier. Same-store expenses rose 4.8% year over year, though expenses per occupied unit increased 1.7%.
Same-store net operating income increased 19.2% year over year, and NOI margin expanded 250 basis points. Hughes said the company expects further operating leverage as occupancy grows, citing the scale of its life plan communities and its independent-living concentration.

Sequential same-store NOI margin declined 40 basis points during the quarter, which Hughes attributed to normal seasonality, including April labor increases, more expense days and lower sales. He said independent living occupancy increased 50 basis points sequentially, while skilled nursing facility occupancy declined during seasonally softer summer months and amid lower hospital census.
Brinker said the total portfolio is currently in the mid-80% occupancy range and that the company believes it can reach occupancy in the 90% range over the next several years. Janus underwrites stabilized occupancy at approximately 93%, he said, while noting that some acquired assets are nearly full.
Acquisitions expand operator network
During the second quarter, Janus Living acquired two senior housing communities for $105 million and sold one community for $23 million of gross proceeds. Subsequent to quarter-end through Aug. 3, the company completed an additional $1 billion of acquisitions and had another $59 million under purchase agreement.
The company said initial yields on completed acquisitions are in the low-6% range and are expected to improve to 7.5% or more by the third year. Brinker said the company is acquiring individual assets and small portfolios, allowing it to select properties and operators on an asset-by-asset basis.
Janus Living has expanded its operating-partner roster to 10 from two since going public four months ago. Brinker said the company does not expect to expand to dozens of operators, but sought to diversify beyond its initial concentration with LCS in order to broaden its access to acquisition opportunities.
"Senior housing is unique in that the operators really control a lot of the deal flow," Brinker said. He said the company has completed its year-to-date acquisitions through eight operating partners and 12 separate transactions.
The non-same-store portfolio was approximately 80.5% occupied, primarily reflecting lease-up potential in 18 transition communities. Hughes said the operator transitions include temporary occupancy and expense headwinds but are intended to improve resident and staff experiences and support occupancy and NOI growth. He said Janus expects the transition portfolio to have more than 50% NOI growth potential over the next two to three years.
Liquidity and outlook
In June, Janus Living completed a follow-on offering of Class A1 common stock that generated $690 million of net proceeds for acquisitions and investments. As of Aug. 3, after accounting for completed acquisitions, the company had $558 million of unrestricted cash, no outstanding debt and $1.2 billion of available liquidity.
Chief Financial Officer Kelvin Moses said the company also has a roughly $500 million revolving credit facility that can be increased to $1.5 billion through an accordion feature, along with an undrawn $100 million delayed-draw term loan.
Brinker said the company intends to remain disciplined despite a strong acquisition pipeline. "We'd rather do $1 billion at super high quality deals rather than $5 billion of some marginal deals," he said.
Janus Living raised its 2026 FFO as adjusted guidance to a range of $0.95 to $0.98 per share, from prior guidance of $0.93 to $0.97 per share. It also raised its same-store adjusted NOI growth outlook by 200 basis points to 13% to 17%.
Hughes said the revised guidance includes expected deployment of $1.6 billion of net capital raised through the company's initial public offering and follow-on offering through the end of the year. The forecast also includes an earnings drag from cash remaining on the balance sheet until it is deployed.
