Income Statement and Balance Sheet Highlights
Omega reported a net income of $114.9 million for the third quarter, an increase of $21.0 million over the same period in 2023. This improvement was attributed to the $34.0 million increase in total revenue and a $31.2 million decrease in total expenses. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to reduced impairment on real estate properties and a recovery in credit losses.

Omega's outstanding indebtedness stood at $4.9 billion, with a weighted-average annual interest rate of 4.6%.
