Key Performance Drivers

This was fueled by a 10.1% increase in year-over-year same store revenue, primarily due to 420 basis points of year-over-year average occupancy growth and Revenue Per Occupied Room (RevPOR) growth of 4.9%. The SHO portfolio's year-over-year SSNOI margin expanded by 330 basis points, with strong RevPOR growth continuing to outpace Expense per Occupied Room (ExpPOR) growth.
