From the latest earnings call
- CEO Barry Port said same-store occupancy reached 84.1% in the third quarter, while skilled-mix revenue rose across both same-store and transitioning facilities.
- Port said recently acquired Florida facilities face clinical, financial and property challenges, and turnaround operations can take a year or more to contribute.

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards
at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s
shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end.
Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more.

The Ensign Group is a holding company whose independent subsidiaries provide skilled nursing, rehabilitation and senior living services. Skilled nursing facilities care for people who need nursing or rehabilitation after an illness or hospital stay, as well as people who need longer-term care. Residents include people recovering from strokes, respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, joint replacements and other disorders.
Care teams provide physician-prescribed nursing and therapy alongside room and board, nutritional programs and social services. Some facilities offer specialty care, including on-site dialysis, ventilator care and cardiac or pulmonary management. Senior living communities serve older adults who can live independently or need assistance with daily activities but do not require the same level of nursing care.
