Recent Highlights First Quarter 2022 Guidance Update (1) • Expect to achieve 1Q2022 net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share within previously issued guidance range of $0.17 - $0.22 (1) • Despite delayed disbursement of HHS funds, expect 1Q2022 normalized funds from operations (FFO) per diluted share to exceed midpoint of $0.79 - $0.84 guidance range • Expect recognition of approximately $600,000 from HHS Provider Relief Fund as compared to approximately $6 million (~$0.015 per diluted share) assumed in guidance. Disbursement delays during the period resulted in significantly lower than expected recognition of funds Seniors Housing Operating (SHO) Portfolio Occupancy Gained Momentum Through First Quarter (2) • Average year-over-year occupancy growth in 1Q2022 is expected to exceed previous assumption for a 420 basis points (“bps”) increase (2) • Sequential average occupancy growth from 4Q2021 to 1Q2022 also expected to exceed previous expectation for approximately flat growth • Spot occupancy increased approximately 40bps during the quarter, with significant acceleration experienced into April • US and UK portfolio trends remain particularly favorable, with each region posting a spot occupancy gain of approximately 80bps during the quarter • Nearly all communities are accepting new residents and tour activity has increased meaningfully following the steep decline in resident and staff COVID-19 case counts since mid-January • Pricing power remains robust as evidenced by strong realized renewal rate growth Observations on Labor Trends • Through March, agency labor utilization has continued to decline following the steep fall in staff COVID-19 cases; agency labor expense is expected to moderate through 2Q2022 and to decline substantially in 2H2022 barring an additional disruptive COVID-19 surge • Staff COVID-19 cases have declined by approximately 90% since their peak in early January 2022; most communities have returned to pre-Omicron staffing levels Strong 1Q2022 Investment Activity; Pipeline Remains Robust • WELL has announced or completed approximately $1.3 billion of capital deployment, making 1Q2022 one of the most active starts to the year for investment activity in WELL’s (3) history; announced or completed approximately $7.0 billion of capital deployment since October 2020 • Announced on March 6, 2022 agreements to purchase three SH portfolios for $548 million, subject to customary closing conditions, with an expected high-single-digit unlevered IRR. The transactions are expected to be funded through the issuance of operating partnership units, assumed debt, and cash on hand • WELL’s near-term capital deployment pipeline remains robust, with opportunities across all property types and capital structure 1.

Supplemental Financial Measures 30

Non-GAAP Financial Measures We believe that revenues, net income and net income attributable to common stockholders ( NICS ), as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ( U.S. GAAP ), are the most appropriate earnings measurements. However, we consider Funds from Operations ( FFO ), Normalized FFO, Net Operating Income ( NOI ), In-Place NOI ( IPNOI ), Same Store NOI ( SSNOI ), REVPOR and Same Store REVPOR ( SS REVPOR ) to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. These supplemental measures are disclosed on our pro rata ownership basis. Pro rata amounts are derived by reducing consolidated amounts for minority partners’ noncontrolling ownership interests and adding our minority ownership share of unconsolidated amounts. We do not control unconsolidated investments. While we consider pro rata disclosures useful, they may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of our joint venture arrangements and should be used with caution. Our supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Our management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to historical operating results and in making operating decisions. Additionally, these measures are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management. None of the supplemental reporting measures represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity. Finally, the supplemental reporting measures, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts or other companies. Multi-period amounts may not equal the sum of the individual quarterly amounts due to rounding. 31

FFO and Normalized FFO Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time as evidenced by the provision for depreciation. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. In response, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ( NAREIT ) created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation from net income. FFO attributable to common stockholders, as defined by NAREIT, means net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate and impairments of depreciable assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests. Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders represents FFO adjusted for certain items detailed in the reconciliations. Normalizing items include adjustments for certain non-recurring or infrequent revenues/expenses that are described in our earnings press releases for the relevant periods. We believe that Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance because investors and equity analysts may use this measure to compare our operating performance between periods or to other REITs or other companies on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated and/or incalculable items. 32

NOI, IPNOI, SSNOI, REVPOR & SS REVPOR We define NOI as total revenues, including tenant reimbursements, less property operating expenses. Property operating expenses represent costs associated with managing, maintaining and servicing tenants for our properties. These expenses include, but are not limited to, property-related payroll and benefits, property management fees paid to operators, marketing, housekeeping, food service, maintenance, utilities, property taxes and insurance. General and administrative expenses represent costs unrelated to property operations and transaction costs. These expenses include, but are not limited to, payroll and benefits, professional services, office expenses and depreciation of corporate fixed assets. IPNOI represents NOI excluding interest income, other income and non-IPNOI and adjusted for timing of current quarter portfolio changes such as acquisitions, development conversions, segment transitions, dispositions and investments held for sale. SSNOI is used to evaluate the operating performance of our properties using a consistent population which controls for changes in the composition of our portfolio. As used herein, same store is generally defined as those revenue-generating properties in the portfolio for the relevant year-over-year reporting periods. Land parcels, loans and sub- leases as well as any properties acquired, developed/redeveloped (including major refurbishments where 20% or more of units are simultaneously taken out of commission for 30 days or more), sold or classified as held for sale during that period are excluded from the same store amounts. Properties undergoing operator and/or segment transitions (except Seniors Housing Triple-net to Seniors Housing Operating with the same operator) are also excluded from same store amounts. Normalizers include adjustments that in management’s opinion are appropriate in considering SSNOI, a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure. None of these adjustments, which may increase or decrease SSNOI, are reflected in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Significant normalizers (defined as any that individually exceed 0.50% of SSNOI growth per property type) are separately disclosed and explained in the relevant supplemental reporting package. No reconciliation of the forecasted range for SSNOI on a combined basis or by property type is included in this release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts, as we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. REVPOR represents the average revenues generated per occupied room per month at our seniors housing operating properties. It is calculated as our pro rata version of total resident fees and services revenues from the income statement divided by average monthly occupied room days. SS REVPOR is used to evaluate the REVPOR performance of our properties under a consistent population which eliminates changes in the composition of our portfolio. It is based on the same pool of properties used for SSNOI and includes any revenue normalizations used for SSNOI. We use REVPOR and SS REVPOR to evaluate the revenue-generating capacity and profit potential of its seniors housing operating portfolio independent of fluctuating occupancy rates. They are also used in comparison against industry and competitor statistics, if known, to evaluate the quality of our seniors housing operating portfolio. We believe NOI, IPNOI, SSNOI, REVPOR and SS REVPOR provide investors relevant and useful information because they measure the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use these metrics to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our properties. 34
