NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HCP, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, joint ventures and VIEs that it controls through voting rights or other means. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been incl uded. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 201 5. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”). ASU 2015-16 simplifies the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination by requiring the acquirer to (i) recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined, (ii) record, in the same period, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date, and (iii) present separately or disclose the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-16 on January 1, 20 1 6 to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs and requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability (consistent with debt discounts). In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent

8

Table of Contents

Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting) (“ASU 2015-15”). ASU 2015-15 allows debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit agreements to be presented in the balance sheet as an asset. ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to early adopt ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 as of Dece mber 31, 2015; the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-2, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 requires amendments to both the VIE and voting consolidation accounting models. The amendments (i) rescind the indefinite deferral of certain aspects of accounting standards relating to consolidations and provide a permanent scope exception for registered money market funds and similar unregistered money market funds, (ii) modify (a) the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), (b) the VIE characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (c) the primary beneficiary determination under the VIE model, and (iii) eliminate the presumption within the current voting model that a general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in ASU 2015-02 using either a modified retrospective or retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016 to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). This update changes the requirements for recognizing revenue. ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 201 7. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 201 8 to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. As a result of the Company’s increasing transaction volume, “acquisition and pursuit costs” are separately presented on the consolidated statements of operations from “general and administrative expenses.”

NOTE 3. Brookdale Lease Amendments and Terminations and the Formation of Two RIDEA Joint Ventures (“Brookdale Transaction”)

On July 31, 2014, Brookdale Senior Living (“Brookdale”) completed its acquisition of Emeritus Corporation (“Emeritus”). On August 29, 2014, the Company and Brookdale completed a multiple-element transaction with three major components:

| · |  | amended existing lease agreements on 153 HCP-owned senior housing communities previously leased and operated by Emeritus, that includ ed the termination of embedded purchase options in these leases relating to 30 properties and future rent reductions;

| · |  | terminated existing lease agreements on 49 HCP-owned senior housing properties previously leased and operated by Emeritus, that included the termination of embedded purchase options in these leases relating to 19 properties. At closing, the Company contributed 48 of these properties to a newly formed consolidated partnership that is operated under a structure permitted by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (commonly referred to as “RIDEA”) (“RIDEA II”); the 49th property was contributed on January 1, 2015. Brookdale owns a 20% noncontrolling equity interest in RIDEA II and manages the facilities on behalf of the partnership; and

| · |  | entered into new unconsolidated joint venture s that own 14 campuses of continuing care retirement communities (“CCRC”) in a RIDEA structure (collectively, the “CCRC JV”) with the Company owning a 49% equity interest and Brookdale owning a 51% equity interest. Brookdale manage s these communities on behalf of this partnership.

Table of Contents

As a result of terminating the leases discussed above, the Company recognized a net gain of $38 million in August 201 4 consisting of: (i) $108 million gain based on the fair value of the net consideration received; less (ii) $70 million to write-off the direct leasing costs and straight-line rent receivables related to the in-place leases.

NOTE 4. Real Estate Property Investments

Acquisition of Private Pay Senior Housing Portfolio (“RIDEA III”)

On June 30, 2015, the Company and Brookdale acquired a portfolio of 35 private pay senior housing communities from Chartwell Retirement Residences, including two leasehold interests, representing 5,025 units. The p ortfolio was acquired in a RIDEA structure (“RIDEA III”), with Brookdale owning a 10% noncontrolling interest. Brookdale has operated these communities since 2011 and continue s to manage the communities under a long-term management agreement, which is cancellable under certain conditions (subject to a fee if terminated within seven years from the acquisition date). The Company paid $7 70 million in cash consideration, net of cash assumed, and assumed $32 million of net liabilities and $29 million of noncontrolling interests to acquire: (i) real estate with a fair value of $77 1 m illion, (ii) lease-up intangible assets with a fair value of $53 million and (iii) working capital of $7 million. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recognized a net termination fee of $8 million in rental and related revenues, which represents the termination value of the two leasehold interests. The lease-up intangible assets recognized were attributable to the value of the acquired underlying operating resident leases of the senior housing communities that were st abilized or nearly stabilized (i.e., resident occupancy above 80%). From the acquisition date to September 30, 2015, the Company recognized revenues and earnings of $47 million and $1 million, respectively, from RIDEA III. As of September 30, 2015, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and may be subject to change.

HCR ManorCare, Inc.

The Company acquired 334 post-acute, skilled nursing and assisted living facilities in its 2011 transaction with HCR ManorCare Inc. (“HCRMC”) and entered into a triple-net lease agreement (the “Master Lease”) with a subsidiary (“Lessee”) of HCRMC.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company and HCRMC agreed to market for sale the real estate and operations associated with 50 non-strategic facilities that are under the Master Lease. HCRMC will receive an annual rent reduction under the Master Lease based on 7.75% of the net sales proceeds received by HCP. The first facility sale closed on July 31, 2015. The remaining facility sales are expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.

On March 29, 2015, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into an amendment to the Master Lease (the “HCRMC Lease Amendment”) effective April 1, 2015. The HCRMC Lease Amendment reduced initial annual rent by a net $68 million from $541 million to $473 million. Commencing on April 1, 2016, the minimum rent escalation shall be reset to 3.0% for each lease year through the expiration of the initial term of each applicable pool of facilities. Prior to the HCRMC Lease Amendment, rent payments would have increased 3.5% on April 1, 2015 and 2016 and 3.0% thereafter. The initial term was extended five years to an average of 16 years and the extension options’ aggregate terms remained the same.

Table of Contents

As consideration for the rent reduction, the Company received a Deferred Rent Obligation from the Lessee equal to an aggregate amount of $525 million, which was allocated into two tranches: (i) a Tranche A Deferred Rent Obligation of $275 million and (ii) a Tranche B Deferred Rent Obligation of $250 million. Until the entire Tranche A Deferred Rent Obligation is paid in full, the Lessee will make rental payments equal to 6.9% of the outstanding amount (representing $19 million) for the initial lease year (the “Tranche A Current Payment”), increased each year thereafter by 3.0%. Commencing on April 1, 2016, until the Tranche B Deferred Rent Obligation is paid in full, the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche B Deferred Rent Obligation will be increased annually by (i) 3.0% initially, (ii) 4.0% commencing on April 1, 2019, (iii) 5.0% commencing on April 1, 2020, and (iv) 6.0% commencing on April 1, 2021 and for the remainder of its term. The Deferred Rent Obligation is due and payable on the earlier of (i) certain capital or liquidity events of HCRMC, including an IPO or sale, or (ii) March 31, 2029, which is not subject to any extensions. The HCRMC Lease Amendment also imposes certain restrictions on the Lessee and HCRMC until the Deferred Rent Obligation is paid in full, including with respect to the payment of dividends and the transfer of interest in HCRMC.

Additionally, HCRMC agreed to sell, and HCP agreed to purchase, nine post-acute facilities for an aggregate purchase price of $275 million. The proceeds from the nine facilities will be used to reduce the Tranche A Deferred Rent Obligation as the purchases are consummated. The closing of the purchases of these facilities will be subject to certain customary conditions and approvals. Subsequent to September 30, 2015, HCRMC and HCP completed three of the nine facility purchases for $87 million in October 2015. The purchases of the remaining six facilities are expected to occur by the end of the first quarter of 2016. If the closing with respect to any of these facilities has not occurred by April 1, 2016, the obligation to purchase any unsold facilities will terminate. Following the purchase of a facility, the Lessee will lease such facility from the Company pursuant to the Master Lease. The nine facilities will contribute an aggregate of $19 million of annual rent (subject to escalation) under the Master Lease.

In March 2015, the Company recorded a net impairment charge of $478 million related to its DFL investments with HCRMC. The impairment charge reduced the carrying value of the HCRMC DFL investments from $6.6 billion to $6.1 billion, based on the present value of the future lease payments effective April 1, 2015 under the HCRMC Lease Amendment discounted at the original DFL investments’ effective lease rate. There is no related allowance for credit losses recorded within the carrying value of the HCRMC DFL investments.

See Note s 8 and 15 for additional discussion of the Company’s equity interest in HCRMC and related September 2015 impairment charge. See Note 8 for additional discussion of the U.S. Department of Justice action related to HCRMC.

As a result of HCRMC related events, the Company reassessed the collectability of all contractual rent payments under the amended Master Lease. The Company has concluded that the collection of the amended rent payments is reasonably assured and has assigned an internal rating of “Performing” to its HCRMC DFL investments.

Beginning September 30, 2013, the Company placed a 14-property senior housing DFL (the “DFL Portfolio”) on non-accrual status. The Company determined that the collection of all rental payments was and continues to be no longer reasonably assured; therefore, rental revenue from the DFL Portfolio is recognized on a cash basis. The Company re-assessed the DFL Portfolio for impairment on September 30, 2015 and determined that the DFL Portfolio was not impaired based on its belief that: (i) it was not probable that it will not collect all of the rental payments under the terms of the lease; and (ii) the fair value of the underlying collateral exceeded the DFL Portfolio’s carrying amount. The fair value of the DFL Portfolio was estimated based on a discounted cash flow model, the inputs to which are considered to be a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. Inputs to this valuation model include real estate capitalization rates, industry growth rates and operating margins, some of which influence the Company’s expectation of future cash flows from the DFL Portfolio and, accordingly, the fair value of its investment. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized DFL income of $3 million and $5 million, respectively, and received cash payments of $5 million and $6 million, respectively, from the DFL Portfolio. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized DFL income of $12 million and $15 million, respectively, and received cash payments of $16 million and $18 million, respectively, from the DFL Portfolio. The carrying value of the DFL Portfolio was $367 million and $370 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

| (1) |  | The Company’s joint venture interest in HCRMC is accounted for using the equity method and results in an ongoing elimination of DFL income proportional to HCP’s ownership in HCRMC. The elimination of the respective proportional lease expense at the HCRMC level in substance results in $1 4 million and $16 million of DFL income that is recharacterized to the Company’s share of earnings from HCRMC (equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures) for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, $44 million and $47 million, respectively, of DFL income was recharacterized to the Company’s share of earnings from HCR MC.

CCRC JV. On August 29, 2014, as part of the Brookdale Transaction discussed in Note 3, HCP and Brookdale forme d unconsolidated joint ventures that own 14 CCRC campuses in a RIDEA structure. At closing, Brookdale contributed eight of its owned campuses; the Company contributed two campuses previously leased to Brookdale valued at $162 million (carrying value of $92 million) and $370 million of cash. At closing, the CCRC JV campuses were encumbered by $569 million of mortgage debt and entrance fee obligations.

HCRMC. On April 20, 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) unsealed a previously filed complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against HCRMC and certain of its affiliates in three consolidated cases following a civil investigation arising out of three lawsuits filed by former employees of HCRMC under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. The DOJ’s complaint in intervention is captioned United States of America, ex rel. Ribik, Carson, and Slough v. HCR ManorCare, Inc., ManorCare Inc., HCR ManorCare Services, LLC and Heartland Employment Services, LLC (Civil Action Numbers: 1:09cv13; 1:11cv1054; 1:14cv1228 (CMH/TCB)). The complaint alleges that HCRMC submitted claims to Medicare for therapy services that were not covered by the skilled nursing facility benefit, were not medically reasonable and necessary, and were not skilled in nature, and therefore not entitled to Medicare reimbursement. While this litigation is at an early stage and HCRMC has indicated that it believes the claims are unjust and it will vigorously defend against them, a significant adverse judgment against HCRMC or significant settlement obligation could impact the carrying value of the Company’s investments in HCRMC’s operations and/or DFLs investment further (see Note 6).

On October 28, 2015, the Company concluded that its 9% equity investment in HCRMC was other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2015 and recorded an impairment charge of $27 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 (see Note 15).

MBK JV s. On March 30, 2015, the Company and MBK Senior Living (“MBK”), a subsidiary of Mitsui & Co. Ltd, formed a new RIDEA joint venture (“MBK JV”) that owns three senior housing facilities with the Company and MBK each owning a 50% equity interest. MBK manages these communities on behalf of the joint venture. The Company contributed $27 million of cash and MBK contributed the three senior housing facilities with a fair value of $126 million, which were encumbered by $78 million of mortgage debt at closing. On September 25, 2015, the Company and MBK formed a new RIDEA joint venture (“MBK Development JV”) which acquired a $3 million parcel of land for the purpose of developing a 74-unit class A senior housing facility in Santa Rosa, California. The parcel of land is located adjacent to the Oakmont Gardens independent living facility currently owned and operated by the MBK JV.

The Company pays a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends on its credit ratings. Based on the Company’s credit ratings at September 30, 2015, the margin on the Facility was 0.925%, and the facility fee was 0.15%. The Facility also includes a feature that allow s the Company to increase the borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $500 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions.

Proceeds from this term loan were used to repay a £220 million draw on the Facility that partially fund ed the November 2014 HC-One Facility (see Note 7). Concurrently, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixes the interest rate of the 2015 Term Loan at 1.79% (see Note 2 1). The 2015 Term Loan contains a one-year committed extension option.

Mortgage Debt

At September 30, 2015, the Company had $9 40 m illion in aggregate principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding, which is secured by 6 3 healthcare facilities (including redevelopment properties) with a carrying value of $1.2 billion.

Mortgage debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments, is collateralized by real estate assets and is generally non-recourse. Mortgage debt typically restricts transfer of the encumbered assets, prohibits additional liens, restricts prepayment, requires payment of real estate taxes, requires maintenance of the assets in good condition, requires maintenance of insurance on the assets and includes conditions to obtain lender consent to enter into or terminate material leases. Some of the mortgage debt is also cross-collateralized by multiple assets and may require tenants or operators to maintain compliance with the applicable leases or operating agreements of such real estate assets.

NOTE 14. Segment Disclosures

The Company evaluates its business and makes resource allocations based on its five business segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) post-acute/skilled nursing, (iii) life science, (iv) medical office and (v) hospital. Under the medical office segment, the Company invests through the acquisition and development of MOBs, which generally require a greater level of property management. Otherwise, the Company primarily invests, through the acquisition and development of real estate, in single tenant and operator properties and debt issued by tenants and operators in these sectors. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There were no intersegment sales or transfers during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company evaluates performance based upon (i) property net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”), (ii) adjusted NOI (cash NOI), and (iii) adjusted NOI plus interest income (“Portfolio Income”) of the combined investments in each segment.

Non-segment assets consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, marketable equity securities, deferred financing costs and, if any, real estate held for sale. Interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and non-property specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual segments in evaluating the Company’s segment-level performance.

NOTE 15. Impairments

On October 28, 2015, the Company concluded that its 9% equity investment in HCRMC (see Note 8) was other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2015 and recorded an impairment charge of $27 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The impairment charge reduced the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in HCRMC from $48 million to its fair value of $21 million. The impairment determination primarily resulted from the Company’s review of recent HCRMC operating results and market and industry data which, among other factors, show a declin ing trend in admissions from hospitals and continu ing trends in mix and length of stay driven by Medicare Advantage and other managed care plans.

The fair value of the Company’s equity investment in HCRMC was based on a discounted cash flow valuation model and inputs were considered to be Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Inputs to this valuation model include earnings multiples, discount rate, industry growth rates of revenue, operating expenses and facility occupancy, some of which influence the Company’s expectation of future cash flows from its investment in HCRMC and, accordingly, the fair value of its investment.

In June 2015 and September 2015, the Company determined that its Four Seasons Notes (see Note 10) were other-than-temporarily impaired resulting from a continued decrease in the fair value of its investment. Although the Company does not intend to sell and does not believe it will be required to sell the Four Seasons Notes before their maturity, the Company determined that a credit loss existed resulting from several factors including: (i) deterioration in Four Seasons’ operating performance since the fourth quarter of 2014 and (ii) credit downgrades rece i ved during the first half of 2015. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015 of $42 million and $70 million, respectively, reducing the carrying value of the Four Seasons Notes at September 30, 2015 to $1 0 0 million (£6 6 million). Elli remains obligated to repay the aggregate par value at maturity and interest payments due June 15 and December 15 each year. When the remaining semi-annual interest payments are received, the Company expects to reduce the carrying value of the Four Seasons Notes during the related fiscal period.

The fair value of the Four Seasons Notes used to calculate the impairment charge was based on quoted market prices. However, because the Four Seasons Notes are not actively traded, these prices are considered to be Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. When calculating the fair value and determining whether a credit loss existed, the Company also evaluated Four Season’s ability to repay the Four Seasons Notes according to their contractual terms based on its estimate of future cash flows. The estimated future cash flow inputs included forecasted revenues, capital expenditures, operating expenses, care home occupancy and continued implementation of Four Seasons’ business plan which includes executing on its business line segmentation and continuing to invest in its core real estate portfolio. This information was consistent with the results of the valuation technique used by the Company to determin e if a credit loss existed and to calculate the fair value of the Four Seasons Notes during its impairment review.

In June 2015, the Company determined a MOB was impaired and recognized an impairment charge of $3 million, which reduced the carrying value of the Company’s investment to $400,000. The fair value of the MOB was based on its projected sales pric es, which was considered to be a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. In July 2015, the Company sold the MOB for $400,000 (see Note 5).

In March 2015, the Company recorded a net impairment charge of $478 million related to its DFL investments with HCRMC (see Note 6).

Restricted stock and certain of the Company’s performance restricted stock units are considered participating securities, because dividend payments are not forfeited even if the underlying award does not vest, which require s the use of the two-class method when computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Options to purchase approximately 1.2 million and 1.1 million shares of common stock that had an exercise price (including deferred compensation expense) in excess of the average closing market price of the Company’s common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were not included in the Company’s earnings per share calculations because they are anti-dilutive. Restricted stock and performance restricted stock units representing 0.3 million and 0.1 million shares of common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were not included because they are anti-dilutive. Additionally, 6 million shares issuable upon conversion of 4 million DownREIT units during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were not included because they are anti-dilutive.

NOTE 1 8. Variable Interest Entities

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

At September 30, 2015, the C ompany had investments in: (i) t hree unconsolidated VIE joint venture s; (ii) 48 properties leased to VIE tenants; (iii) a loan to a VIE borrower; and (iv) marketable debt securities of two VIE borrower s. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company does not consolidate these VIEs because it does not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance. Except for the Company’s equity interest in the unconsolidated joint venture s (CCRC OpCo, HCP Ventures IV and Vintage Park discussed below), the Company has no formal involvement in these VIEs beyond its investments.

The Comp any holds a 49% ownership interest in CCRC OpCo, a joint venture entity formed in August 2014 that operates senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure, that has been identified as a VIE (see Note s 3 and 8). The equity members of CCRC OpCo “lack power” because they share certain operating rights with Brookdale as manager of the CCRCs. The assets of CCRC OpCo primarily consist of the CCRCs that it owns and leases, resident fees receivable, notes receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of operating lease obligations to CCRC PropCo and accounts payable and expense accruals associated with the cost of its CCRCs’ operations. Assets generated by the CCRC operations (primarily rents from CCRC residents) of CCRC OpCo may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily the rental costs and operating expenses incurred to manage such facilities).

In the first quarter of 2015, upon the occurrence of a reconsideration event, it was determined that HCP Ventures IV is a VIE because this entity is “thinly capitalized.” The ability to control the activities that most significantly impact HCP Ventures IV’s economic performance are shared among equity members. The assets of HCP Ventures IV primarily consist of MOBs and hospitals that it owns and leases, intangible assets, straight-line rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of mortgage debt, member loans, intangible liabilities, deferred revenue, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities associated with the cost of its rental properties. Assets generated by the operations

Table of Contents

(primarily rental revenues) of HCP Ventures IV may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily operating expenses and debt service payments).

The Company holds an 85% ownership interest in Vintage Park (see Note 8) that has been identified as a VIE. Although power is share d among equity members, one equity member does not have a substantive investment in the entity. The assets of Vintage Park primarily consist of an in-progress independent living facility development project that it owns and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of accounts payable and expense accruals associated with the cost of the development obligations. Any a ssets generated by Vintage Park may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily development expenses and debt service payments).

The Company leases 48 properties to a total of seven tenants that have been identified as VIEs (“VIE tenants”) because these VIE tenants are “thinly capitalized” entities that rely on the operating cash flows generated from the senior housing facilities to pay operating expenses, including the rent obligations under their leases.

The Company holds Four Seasons Notes (see Note 10). In the second quarter of 2015, upon the occurrence of a reconsideration event, it was determined that the issuer of the Four Seasons Notes is a VIE because this e ntity is “thinly capitalized” (see Note 15).

The Company holds an interest-only, senior secured term loan made to a borrower (Delphis Operations, L.P.) that has been identified as a VIE because it is a “thinly capitalized” entity (see Note 7). The loan is collateralized by all of the assets of the borrower (comprised primarily of a partnership interest in an operating surgical facility that leases a property owned by the Company).

The Company holds commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie MAC”) through a special purpose entity that has been identified as a VIE because it is “thinly capitalized”. The CMBS issued by the VIE are backed by mortgage debt obligations on real estate assets.

The classification of the related assets and liabilities and their maximum loss exposure as a result of the Company’s involvement with these VIEs at September 30, 2015 are presented below (in thousands):

|  | Maximum Loss |  |  |  | Carrying |
VIE Type |  | Exposure(1) |  | Asset/Liability Type |  | Amount |
VIE tenants—DFLs |  | $ | 600,235 |  | Net investment in DFLs |  | $ | 600,235 |
VIE tenants—operating leases |  |  | 11,299 |  | Lease intangibles, net and straight-line rent receivables |  |  | 11,299 |
Four Seasons Notes |  |  | 100,348 |  | Marketable debt securities |  |  | 100,348 |
CCRC OpCo |  |  | 234,246 |  | Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures |  |  | 234,246 |
HCP Ventures IV |  |  | 152,415 |  | Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures |  |  | 45,416 |
Vintage Park |  |  | 5,745 |  | Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures |  |  | 5,745 |
Loan—senior secured |  |  | 16,987 |  | Loans receivable, net |  |  | 16,987 |
CMBS |  |  | 17,751 |  | Marketable debt securities |  |  | 17,751 |

| (1) |  | The Company’s maximum loss exposure related to VIE tenants, CCRC OpCo, Vintage Park, and loans and marketable debt securities to VIE borrowers represents the aggregate carrying amount of such investments (including accrued interest). The Company’s maximum loss exposure related to HCP Ventures IV represents the aggregate carrying amount of its investment s plus commitments under its support arrangement, which may be mitigated by the refinancing of HCP Ventures IV’s Contractual Obligations which it expects to occur as such debt becomes due in late 2015 and early 2016 (see Note 12).

With the exception of HCP Ventures IV, a s of September 30, 2015, the Company has not provided, and is not required to provide, financial support through a liquidity arrangement or otherwise, to its unconsolidated VIEs, including circumstances in which it could be exposed to further losses (e.g., cash shortfalls). At September 30, 2015, the Company has a loan of $2 1 million to HCP Ventures IV. HCP Ventures IV has $107 million of Contractual Obligations coming due through February 2016. The Company has committed to provide the necessary level of financial support, in the form of a shortfall loan, to HCP Ventures IV in the event the joint venture is (i) unable to refinance its Contractual Obligations with third party lenders or (ii) the equity members do not jointly agree to make additional capital contributions to repay its

Contractual Obligations. See Notes 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12 for additional descriptions of the nature, purpose and operating activities of the Company’s unconsolidated VIEs and interests therein.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

RIDEA I. The Company holds a 90% ownership interest in a joint venture entity formed in September 2011 that operates senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure (“RIDEA I OpCo”). The Company consolidates RIDEA I OpCo as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The assets of RIDEA I OpCo primarily consist of leasehold interests in senior housing facilities (operating leases), resident fees receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of lease payments to a non-VIE consolidated subsidiary of the Company and operating expenses of its senior housing facilities (accounts payable and accrued expenses). Assets generated by the senior housing operations (primarily from senior housing resident rents) of RIDEA I OpCo may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from the rental costs and operating expenses incurred to manage such facilities).

RIDEA II. The Company holds an 80% ownership interest in joint venture entities formed in August 2014 that own and operate senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure (“RIDEA II”). The Company consolidates RIDEA II (“SH PropCo” and “SH OpCo”) as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the se VIEs’ economic performance. The assets of SH PropCo primarily consist of leased properties (net real estate), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of a note payable to a non-VIE consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The assets of SH OpCo primarily consist of leasehold interests in senior housing facilities (operating leases), resident fees receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of lease payments to SH PropCo and operating expenses of its senior housing facilities (accounts payable and accrued expenses). Assets generated by the senior housing operations (primarily from senior housing resident rents) of the RIDEA II structure may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from the rental costs and operating expenses incurred to manage such facilities).

RIDEA III. The Company holds a 90% ownership interest in a joint venture entity formed in June 2015 that operates senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure (“RIDEA III OpCo”). The Company consolidates RIDEA III OpCo as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The assets of RIDEA III OpCo primarily consist of leasehold interests in senior housing facilities (operating leases), resident fees receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of lease payments to a non-VIE consolidated subsidiary of the Company and operating expenses of its senior housing facilities (accounts payable and accrued expenses). Assets generated by the senior housing operations (primarily from senior housing resident rents) of RIDEA III OpCo may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from the rental costs and operating expenses incurred to manage such facilities).

Other consolidated VIEs. The Company made a loan to an entity that entered into a tax credit structure (“Tax Credit Subsidiary”) and a loan to an entity that made an investment in a development joint venture (“Development JV”) both of which are considered VIEs. The Company consolidates the Tax Credit Subsidiary and Development JV because it is the primary beneficiary as it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance. The assets and liabilities of the Tax Credit Subsidiary and Development JV substantially consist of development in progress, notes receivable, prepaid expenses, notes payable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities generated from their operating activities. Any a ssets generated by the operating activities of the Tax Credit Subsidiary and Development JV may only be used to settle their contractual obligations.

NOTE 1 9. Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when one or more tenants, operators or obligors related to the Company’s investments are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company regularly monitors various segments of its portfolio to assess potential concentrations of risks. The Company does not have significant foreign operations.

The following table s provide information regarding the Company’s concentrations with respect to certain tenants and operators; the information provided is presented for the gross assets and revenues that are associated with certain tenants and operators as percentages of their respective segment’s and total Company’s gross assets and revenues:

As of September 30, 2015, Brookdale provided comprehensive property management and accounting services with respect to 1 06 of the Company’s senior housing facilities and 14 CCRCs owned by the CCRC JV, for which the Company or joint venture pay s annual management fees pursuant to long-term management agreements. Most of the management agreements have initial terms ranging from 10 to 15 years, with three to four 5-year renewals. The base management fees are 4.5% to 5.0% of gross revenues (as defined) generated by the RIDEA facilities. In addition, there are incentive management fees payable to Brookdale if operating results of the RIDEA properties exceed pre-established EBITDAR (as defined) thresholds.

Brookdale is subject to the registration and reporting requirements of the SEC and is required to file with the SEC annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. The information related to Brookdale contained or referred to in this report has been derived from SEC filings made by Brookdale or other publicly available information, or was provided to the Company by Brookdale, and the Company has not verified this information through an independent investigation or otherwise. The Company has no reason to believe that this information is inaccurate in any material respect, but the Company cannot assure the reader of its accuracy. The Company is providing this data for informational purposes only and encourages the reader to obtain Brookdale’s publicly available filings, which can be found on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

To mitigate the credit risk of leasing properties to certain senior housing and post-acute/skilled nursing operators, leases with operators are often combined into portfolios that contain cross-default terms, so that if a tenant of any of the properties in a portfolio defaults on its obligations under its lease, the Company may pursue its remedies under the lease with respect to any of the properties in the portfolio. Certain portfolios also contain terms whereby the net operating profits of the properties are combined for the purpose of securing the funding of rental payments due under each lease.

Marketable debt securities – The fair value is based on quoted prices from inactive markets.

Marketable equity securities and senior unsecured notes – The fair value s are based on quoted prices in active markets.

Warrants – The fair value is based on significant unobservable market inputs utilizing standardized derivative pricing models.

Bank line of credit, term loans and other debt – The carrying value s are a reasonable estimate of fair value because the borrowings are primarily based on market interest rates and the Company’s current credit ratings.

Interest-rate swaps – The fair value is based on observable inputs utilizing standardized pricing models that consider forward yield curves and discount rates which are observable in active and inactive markets.

Currency swaps – The fair value is based on observable inputs utilizing standardized pricing models that consider the future value of the currency exchange rates, comprised of current spot and traded forward points, and calculating a present value of the net amount using discount rates based on observable traded interest rates.

The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations on specific forecasted transactions as well as recognized financial obligations or assets. Utilizing derivative instruments allows the Company to manage the risk of fluctuations in interest and foreign currency rates related to the potential impact these changes could have on future earnings and forecasted cash flows. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

The primary risks associated with derivative instruments are market and credit risk. Market risk is defined as the potential for loss in value of a derivative instrument due to adverse changes in market prices. Credit risk is the risk that one of the parties to a derivative contract fails to perform or meet their financial obligation. The Company does not obtain collateral associated with its derivative contracts, but monitors the credit standing of its counterparties on a regular basis. Should a counterparty fail to perform, the Company would incur a financial loss to the extent that the associated derivative contract was in an asset position. At September 30, 2015, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties to its outstanding derivative contracts.

On January 12, 2015, the Company entered into a n interest-rate swap contract that is designated as hedging the interest payments on its GBP denominated 2015 Term Loan due to fluctuations in the underlying benchmark interest rate (see Note 11). The cash flow hedge has a notional amount of £220 million and matures in October 2017.

On January 12, 2015, the Company entered into a foreign currency swap contract to hedge the foreign currency exchange risk related to a portion of the forecasted GBP interest receipts from its HC-One Facility (see Note 7). The cash flow hedge has a fixed GBP/USD exchange rate of 1.5149 (b uy approximately $1.5 million and sell £1.0 million monthly) and matures in October 201 7.

O n July 27, 2012, the Company entered into a foreign currency swap contract to hedge the foreign currency exchange risk related to a portion of the forecasted GBP interest receipts from a debt investment denominated in GBP. The cash flow hedge has a fixed GBP/USD exchange rate of 1.5695 (buy $11 million and sell £7 million semi-annually) and matures in June 2016. In September 2015, t he Company ceased hedge accounting on this foreign currency swap contract and reclassified $0.4 million from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to Other Income, net, and all future changes in fair value of the foreign currency swap contract will be recognized in earnings.

On September 29, 2015, the Company designated £2 6 0 million of its GBP-denominated borrowings under the Facility and 2012 term l oan as a hedge of a portion of the Company’s net investments in its GBP-functional subsidiaries to limit exposure to fluctuations in the GBP to U.S. Dollars (“USD”) exchange rate. For instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, the variability in the foreign currency to USD of the instrument is recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Accordingly, changes in value of the designated £260 million GBP-denominated borrowings due to fluctuations in the GBP to USD exchange rate are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) as the hedging relationship is considered to be effective. The balance of the cumulative translation adjustment will be reclassified to earnings when the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company determined a portion of a cash flow hedge was ineffective and reclassified $0.4 million of unrealized gains related to this interest-rate swap contract into other income, net. T he Company expects that the hedged forecasted transactions for each of the outstanding qualifying cash flow hedging relationships at September 30, 2015 remain probable of occurring, and as a result, no additional gains or losses recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified to earnings for any other outstanding hedges, other than those discussed above.

Executive Summary

HCP, Inc., a Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 company, invests primarily in real estate serving the healthcare industry in the United States. We are a Maryland corporation organized in 1985 and qualify as a self-administered REIT. We acquire, develop, lease, manage and dispose of healthcare real estate, and provide financing to healthcare providers. At September 30, 2015, our portfolio of investments, including properties in our unconsolidated joint ventures, consisted of interests in 1,279 facilities.

We invest and manage our real estate portfolio for the long-term to maximize the benefit to our stockholders and support the growth of our dividends. The core elements of our strategy are: (i) to acquire, develop, lease, own and manage a diversified portfolio of quality healthcare properties across multiple business segments and geographic locations (including Europe); (ii) to align ourselves with leading healthcare companies, operators and service providers, which over the long-term should result in higher relative rental rates, net operating cash flows and appreciation of property values; (iii) to concentrate on longer-term escalating triple-net leases with high-quality tenants, while using RIDEA structures for properties that have higher growth potential; (iv) to maintain adequate liquidity with long-term fixed rate debt financing with staggered maturities, which supports the longer-term nature of our investments, while reducing our exposure to interest rate volatility and refinancing risk at any point in the interest rate or credit cycles; and (v) to continue to manage our balance sheet with a targeted financial leverage of approximately 40% relative to our assets.

37

Table of Contents

We believe that our longer-term escalating triple-net leases with financially strong tenants and operators enhance the quality, stability and growth of our rental income. Further, we believe many of our existing properties hold the potential for increased future cash flows due to their high quality and desirable locations within markets where the creation of new supply is limited by the lack of available sites and the difficulty of obtaining the necessary licensing, other approvals and/or financing. Our strategy for maximizing the benefits from these opportunities is to: (i) work with new or existing tenants and operators to address their space and capital needs and (ii) provide high-quality property management services in order to motivate tenants to renew, expand or relocate into our properties.

The delivery of healthcare services requires real estate and, as a result, tenants and operators depend on real estate, in part, to maintain and grow their businesses. We believe that the healthcare real estate market provides investment opportunities due to the: (i) compelling demographics driving the demand for healthcare services; (ii) specialized nature of healthcare real estate investing; and (iii) ongoing consolidation of the fragmented healthcare real estate sector.

While we emphasize healthcare real estate ownership, we may also provide real estate secured financing to, or invest in equity or debt securities of, healthcare operators or other entities engaged in healthcare real estate ownership. We may also acquire all or substantially all of the securities or assets of other REITs, operating companies or similar entities where such investments would be consistent with our investment strategies. We may co-invest alongside institutional or development investors through partnerships or limited liability companies.

We monitor, but do not limit, our investments based on the percentage of our total assets that may be invested in any one property type, investment vehicle or geographic location, the number of properties that may be leased to a single tenant or operator, or loans that may be made to a single borrower. In allocating capital to our multiple segments, we target opportunities with the most attractive risk/reward profile for our portfolio as a whole. We may take additional measures to mitigate risk, including diversifying our investments (by sector, geography, tenant or operator), structuring transactions as master leases, requiring tenant or operator insurance and indemnifications, and obtaining credit enhancements in the form of guarantees, letters of credit or security deposits.

Because our REIT qualification requires us to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains), we regularly access the public equity and debt markets to raise the funds necessary to finance acquisitions and debt investments, develop and redevelop properties, and refinance maturing debt.

We maintain a conservative balance sheet by actively managing our debt to equity levels, using long-term fixed rate debt and staggering our contractual maturities. We also utilize multiple sources of capital including equity, unsecured bonds, revolving line of credit facilities, term loans, and secured debt. We have relationships with institutional joint venture partners which ha ve been a source of capital for our joint ventures.

We evaluate multiple sources of capital when financing our investments. For debt investments, we may utilize our revolving line of credit facility or originate bank term loans. Typically we fund long term real estate investments with common stock and long term unsecured bonds. Additionally, in connection with joint ventures, we typically utilize non-recourse mortgage debt.

201 5 Transaction Overview

HCR ManorCare, Inc.

During the three months ended March 3 1, 2015, HCP and HCR ManorCare, Inc. (“HCRMC”) agreed to market for sale the real estate and operations associated with 50 non-strategic facilities that are under the Master Lease and Security Agreement (the “Master Lease”) for an estimated total gross sales price of approximately $3 50 million. HCRMC will receive an annual rent reduction under the Master Lease based on 7.75% of the net sales proceeds received by HCP. Through November 2, 2015, 1 2 of the facility sales have closed and the remaining facility sales are expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.

Additionally, in March 2015, HCP and HCRMC agreed to amend the Master Lease (the “HCRMC Lease Amendment”). Commencing April 1, 2015, HCP provided an annual net rent reduction of $68 million, which equates to initial lease year rent of $473 million, compared to $541 million that would have commenced April 1, 2015 prior to the HCRMC Lease

Table of Contents

Amendment. The contractual rent will increase by 3.0% annually during the initial term. In exchange, HCP will receive the following consideration:

| · |  | Fee ownership in nine post-acute facilities valued at $275 million with a median age of four years, currently owned and operated by HCRMC. HCP will retain a lease receivable of equal value, earning income of $19 million annually (included in the amended initial lease year rent of $473 million above), which will be reduced as the facility purchases are completed. Following the purchase of a facility, HCRMC will lease such facility from the HCP pursuant to the Master Lease. The nine facilities will contribute an aggregate of $19 million of annual rent (subject to escalation) under th e Master Lease. Through November 2, 2015, HCRMC and HCP completed four of the nine facility purchases for $99 million. The purchases of the remaining five facilities are expected to occur by the end of the first quarter of 2016, subject to customary licensing and regulatory approvals;

| · |  | A second lease receivable with an initial amount of $250 million, payable by HCRMC upon the earlier of: (i) the end of the initial term of the first renewal pool under the HCRMC Lease Amendment, or (ii) certain capital or liquidity events of HCRMC, including an IPO or sale. The $250 million lease receivable amount will increase each year as follows: 3.0% in April 2016 through 2018, 4.0% in 2019, 5.0% in 2020 and 6.0% in 2021 until the end of the initial lease term; and

| · |  | Extension of the initial lease term by five years, to an average of 16 years.

In March 2015, w e recorded a non-cash net impairment charge of $478 million related to our direct financing lease (“DFL”) investments with HCRMC. The non-cash charge reduced the carrying value of the HCRMC DFL investments from $6.6 billion to $6.1 billion, which represe nted the present value of the future lease payments under the HCRMC Lease Amendment. The impairment determination resulted from discussions with HCRMC in which they expressed an increasing desire to reduce rent in consideration of potential economic trades to HCP prior to the April 1, 2015 rental increase of 3.5% under the Master Lease (without regard to the HCRMC Lease Amendment). HCRMC indicated that they sought an amendment of the Master Lease to provide financial flexibility to meet the reimbursement and competitive challenges they face in operating and growing their business, and to remove any uncertainty that could result from any further deterioration in their operating results and corresponding ability to remain in compliance with the covenants under their credit facilities.

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on the HCRMC Lease Amendment and impairment of our HCRMC direct financing lease investment and Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding the U.S. Department of Justice complaint against HCRMC, which information is incorporated by reference herein.

On October 28, 2015, we concluded that our 9% equity investment in HCRMC was other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2015 and we recorded an impairment charge of $27 million during the third quarter of 2015. The impairment charge reduced the carrying amount of our equity investment in HCRMC to $21 million. Our impairment determination primarily resulted from our review of recent HCRMC operating results and market and industry data which, amo ng other factors, show a declining trend in admissions from hospital s and continu ing trends in mix and length of stay driven by Medicare Advantage and other managed care plans. Notwithstanding these developments, HCRMC’s financial information indicates that HCRMC will continue to meet its contractual obligations to HCP under the Master Lease as we expect the lease coverage to continue to improve due to the HCRMC Lease Amendment and sale of the 50 non-strategic facilities. Therefore, we continue to believe that the collection and timing of all amounts owed by HCRMC under our Master Lease are reasonably assured.

Acquisition of Private Pay Senior Housing Portfolio

On June 30, 2015, HCP and Brookdale Senior Living, Inc. (“Brookdale”) acquired a portfolio of 35 private pay senior housing communities from Chartwell Retirement Residences, including two leasehold interests, representing 5,025 units for $847 million. The portfolio was acquired in a RIDEA structure (RIDEA III), with Brookdale owning a 10% noncontrolling interest. Brookdale has operated these communities since 2011, and continues to manage the communities under a long-term management agreement.

In February 2015, we increased our United Kingdom (“U.K.”) HC-One debt investment (“HC-One Facility”) by £108 million ($164 million) to £502 million ($795 million) in conjunction with HC-One’s acquisition of Meridian Healthcare. At closing, t he HC-One Facility was secured by 303 nursing and residential care homes representing over 13,900 beds in the U.K., primarily located in England and Scotland.

In April 2015, we converted £174 million of our total £50 2 million HC-One Facility to fee ownership in a portfolio of 36 care homes subject to long-term triple-net leases that provide aggregate rent in the first year of £13 million. The contractual rent will increase annually by the Retail Price Index (“RPI”), with rent resets to fair market value at the end of lease years 15 and 25. The triple-net leases have initial terms of 30 years with lessee termination options at the end of lease years 15 and 25.

In May 2015, we provided a £27 million ($42 million) loan to fund Maria Mallaband Care Group’s (“Maria Mallaband”) acquisition of two care homes in the U.K. In July 2015, the loan was converted into fee ownership of the real estate at an equal value and the properties are triple-net leased to Maria Mallaband for an initial term of 15 years.

In September 2015, we amended and increased the commitment under our HC-One Facility by £11 million, primarily to fund a development project in the U.K. and other capital improvements.

Acquisitions of On-Campus Medical Office Building s

In April 2015, we acquired a medical office building (“MOB”) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $161 million. The MOB is anchored by Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, which is ranked 2nd among best hospitals in the Philadelphia metropolitan area by U.S. News and is owned by ‘A rated’ Thomas Jefferson University. The MOB contains 705,000 rentable sq uare f ee t and was 85% occupied at closing.

In June 2015, we expanded our relationship with Memorial Hermann Health System (“Memorial Hermann”) through the acquisition of a portfolio of 11 on-campus MOBs located in Houston, Texas in a sale-leaseback transaction for $225 million. Memorial Hermann, an ‘A rated’ health system, is the largest not-for-profit system in Southeast Texas and maintains the largest market share at 24% in the Houston metro area. The MOB portfolio, located on four campuses, has an aggregate 1.2 million rentable sq uare f ee t and is subject to triple-net master leases with 10-year initial lease terms and four 5-year renewal terms. In October 2015, we issued a 49% noncontrolling interest in this portfolio (“HCP Ventures V”) for $110 million.

In October 2015, we increased our ownership of the Nordstrom Medical T ower in Seattle, Washington to 11 6,8 00 square feet by acquiring two fully-o ccupied condominium units total ing 15,3 00 rentable square feet for $7 million.

MBK Joint Venture Transactions

In March 2015, we formed a new RIDEA joint venture (“MBK JV”) with MBK Senior Living (“MBK”), a subsidiary of Mitsui & Co. Ltd, that acquired three senior housing facilities for $126 million with HCP and MBK each owning a 50% equity interest. MBK manages these communities on behalf of this joint venture. At closing, we contributed $27 million of cash and MBK contributed the three senior housing facilities, which were encumbered by $78 million of mortgage debt. The MBK JV intends to acquire additional senior housing facilities by focusing on off-market transactions.

In September 2015, we formed a new development joint venture with MBK (“MBK Development JV”) which acquired a $3 million parcel of land for the purpose of developing a 74-unit class A senior housing facility in Santa Rosa, California. The parcel of land is located adjacent to the Oakmont Gardens independent living facility currently owned and operated by the MBK JV.

Other Investment Transactions

In March 2015, we exercise d the purchase option under our $1 4 million par value development loan to acquire a newly built assisted living and memory care facility in Houston, Texas for $36 million. The facility was 99% occupied at closing and was placed in a RIDEA structure with Brookdale acquiring a 10% noncontrolling interest and manag ing the facility.

In April 2015, we exercised the purchase option under our $33 million par value development loan to acquire a newly built assisted living and memory care facility in Germantown, Tennessee for $72 million. The facility was 93% occupied at closing and was placed in a RIDEA structure with Brookdale acquiring a 10% noncontrolling interest and managing the facility.

In May 2015, we increased and extended our mezzanine loan facility with Tandem Health Care (“Tandem”) to (i) fund an additional $55 million, which proceeds were used to repay a portion of Tandem’s existing senior and mortgage debt tranches; (ii) extend its maturity to October 2018; and (iii) extend the prepayment penalty period to January 2017. The mezzanine loan facility now totals $256 million and has an 11.5% blended coupon, or 11.9% blended yield-to-maturity.

In August 2015, we expanded our senior housing joint venture partnership with Brookdale through the CCRC JV in an add-on expansion wi t hin one of its Florida communities for $30 million, of which our contribut ion was $8 million.

Financing and Capital Recycling Activities

In January 2015, we issued $600 million of 3.40% senior unsecured notes due 2025. The notes were priced at 99.185% of the principal amount with a yield-to-maturity of 3.497%. Net proceeds were used to repay the entire $105 million U.S. dollar amount outstanding on our revolving credit facility at closing and $200 million of 6.00% senior unsecured notes that matured on March 1, 2015. We use d the remaining proceeds to repay $200 million of 7.0 7% senior unsecured notes maturing in June 2015 and for general corporate purposes.

In January 2015, to economically hedge a portion of our foreign currency risk from the HC-One Facility, we completed a £220 million four-year unsecured term loan that accrues interest at GBP LIBOR plus 0.975%, subject to adjustments based on our credit ratings. Concurrently, we entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement that fixes the rate of the term loan at 1.79%, and a foreign currency swap agreement that fixes the British pound sterling (“GBP”) into U.S. dollars (“USD”) exchange rate at 1.5149 on interest income from the HC-One Facility in excess of interest payments on the term loan. Proceeds from this term loan repaid £220 million of the GBP balance drawn on our revolving credit facility that was used to fund our HC-One Facility in November 2014.

In May 2015, we issued $750 million of 4.00% senior unsecured notes due 2025. The notes were priced at 99.126% of the principal amount with a yield-to-maturity of 4.107%. Net proceeds were used to fund a portion of our investment transactions completed to date.

In June 2015, we established an at-the-market equity offering program (“ATM Program”), in connection with the renewal of our Shelf Registration Statement. Under this program, we may sell shares of our common stock from time to time having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $750 million through a consortium of banks acting as sales agents or directly to the banks acting as principals. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued 1.25 million shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $40.58 for proceeds of $50 million, net of fees and commissions of $1 million.

In July 2015, we sold a parcel of land at The Cove for $11 million; additionally, in October 2015, we sold a parcel of land in our life science segment for $40 million.

In October 2015, we issued a 49% noncontrolling interest in HCP Ventures V to an institutional capital investor for $11 0 million. HCP Ventures V owns the MOB portfolio we acquired through a sale-leaseback transaction with Memorial Hermann in June 2015. We retained a 51% controlling inte rest in HCP Ventures V and will act as the managing member of the joint venture.

Through November 3, 2015, we received £34 million ($52 million) and $2 3 million in loan paydowns from asset disposition proceeds relating to our HC-One Facility and loan to Delphis Operations, L.P., respectively.

Dividends

On October 29, 201 5, we announced that our Board declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.5 6 5 per share. The common stock dividend will be paid on November 2 4, 201 5 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 201 5.

Results of Operations

We evaluate our business and allocate resources among our business segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) post-acute/skilled nursing, (iii) life science, (iv) medical office and (v) hospital. Under the senior housing, post-acute/skilled nursing, life science and hospital segments, we primarily invest, through acquisition and development, in single operator or tenant properties and debt issued by operators in these sectors. Under the medical office segment, we invest, through acquisition and development, in single or multi-tenant MOBs, which generally require a greater level of property management.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

NOI and adjusted NOI are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate. NOI is defined as rental and related revenues, including tenant recoveries, resident fees and services, and income from direct financing leases (“DFLs”), less property level operating expense s; NOI excludes all other financial statement amounts included in net income (loss) as presented in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes NOI provides relevant and useful information because it reflects only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents them on an unleveraged basis. Adjusted NOI is calculated as NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-line rents, DFL accretion, amortization of market lease intangibles and lease termination fees. Adjusted NOI is oftentimes referred to as “cash NOI.” We use NOI and adjusted NOI to make decisions about resource allocations, to assess and compare property level performance, and evaluate our same property portfolio (“SPP”). We believe that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measure to NOI. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of operating performance to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP since it does not reflect various excluded items. Further, our definition of NOI may not be comparable to the definition used by other REITs or real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. NOI and adjusted NOI are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures; for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI and adjusted NOI and other relevant disclosure, refer to Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating expenses generally relate to leased medical office and life science properties and senior housing RIDEA properties. We generally recover all or a portion of our leased medical office and life science property expenses through tenant recoveries. We present expenses as operating or general and administrative based on the underlying nature of the expense. Periodically, we review the classification of expenses between categories and make revisions based on changes in the underlying nature of the expenses.

Same Property Portfolio (“SPP”)

SPP NOI and adjusted NOI information allows us to evaluate the performance of our property portfolio under a consistent population by eliminating changes in the composition of our portfolio of properties. We identify our SPP as stabilized properties that remained in operations and were consistently reported as leased properties or RIDEA properties for the duration of the year over year comparison periods presented, excluding assets held for sale. Accordingly, it takes a stabilized property a minimum of 12 months in operations under a consistent reporting structure to be included in our SPP. Newly acquired operating assets are generally considered stabilized at the earlier of lease up (typically when the tenant(s) controls the physical use of at least 80% of the space) or 12 months from the acquisition date. Newly completed developments and redevelopments are considered stabilized at the earlier of lease up or 24 months from the date the property is placed in service. SPP NOI excludes certain non-property specific operating expenses that are allocated to each operating segment on a consolidated basis. SPP adjusted NOI excludes the effects of foreign exchange rate movements by using the average current period exchange rate to translate from GBP into USD for the comparison periods. A property is removed from our SPP when it is sold, placed into redevelopment or changes its reporting structure.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

We believe FFO applicable to common shares, diluted FFO applicable to common shares, and diluted FFO per common share are important supplemental non-GAAP measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets utilizes straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that use historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. The term FFO was designed by the REIT industry to address this issue.

FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) is net income (loss) applicable to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairments of, or related to, depreciable real estate, plus real estate and DFL depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for joint ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss). We compute FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition; however, other REITs may report FFO differently or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from ours.

In addition, we present FFO before the impact of severance-related charges, litigation settlement charges, preferred stock redemption charges, impairments (recoveries) of non-depreciable assets, foreign currency remeasurement losses (gains) and transaction-related items (defined below) (“FFO as adjusted”). Transaction-related items include acquisition and pursuit costs (e.g., due diligence and closing) and gains/charges incurred as a result of mergers and acquisitions and lease amendment or termination activities. Management believes that FFO as adjusted provides a meaningful supplemental measurement of our FFO run-rate. This measure is a modification of the NAREIT definition of FFO and should not be used as an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) or NAREIT FFO. FFO and FFO as adjusted are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures; for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and FFO as adjusted and othe r relevant disclosure, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconcil i ations” below.

Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”)

FAD is defined as FFO as adjusted after excluding the impact of the following: (i) amortization of acquired market lease intangibles, net; (ii) amortization of deferred compensation expense; (iii) amortization of deferred financing costs, net; (iv) straight-line rents; (v) accretion and depreciation related to DFLs and lease incentive amortization (reduction of straight-line rents); and (vi) deferred revenues, excluding amounts amortized into rental income that are associated with tenant funded improvements owned/recognized by us and up-front cash payments made by tenants to reduce their contractual rents. Also, FAD is: (i) computed after deducting recurring capital expenditures, including leasing costs and second generation tenant and capital improvements; and (ii) includes lease restructure payments and adjustments to compute our share of FAD from our unconsolidated joint ventures and those related to CCRC non-refundable entrance fees. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating FAD, and accordingly, our FAD may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. Although our FAD computation may not be comparable to that of other REITs, management believes FAD provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our performance and is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. FAD does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. FAD is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure; for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FAD, as defined, and other relevant disclosure, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconcil i ations” below.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014

On June 30, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the RIDEA III acquisition for 35 senior housing properties (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). W e report the resident level fees and services revenues and corresponding operating expenses in our consolidated financial statements from the Closing Date. For periods subsequent to the Closing Date, we expect increases in resident fees and services revenue and operating expenses.

________________________________________

(1) For the reconciliation s, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” section below.

FFO as adjusted and FAD increased $0.0 4 and $0.0 2 per share, respectively, primarily as a result of increased NOI from our 201 4 and 2015 acquisitions and SPP. The increases were partially offset by the decline in income from DFLs as a result of the HCRMC Lease Amendment.

FFO and e arnings per share (“EPS”) decreased $0.25 and $0.2 9 per share, respectively, primarily as a result of: (i) a $70 million impairment related to our investment in Four Seasons senior notes (“Four Seasons Notes”), (ii) a $27 million impairment related to our equity investment in HCRMC, (iii) foreign currency remeasurement losses of $4 million and (i v) transaction-related items of $2 million. The decreases were partially offset by: (i) the aforementioned events impacting FFO as adjusted and FAD and (ii) $38 million recognized in 2014 in net fees for terminating the leases on the 49 senior housing properties in the transaction completed with Brookdale in August 2014 (the “B rookdale T ransaction”).

Segment NOI and Adjusted NOI

The tables below provide selected operating information for our SPP and total property portfolio for each of our business segments. Our consolidated SPP for the three months ended September 30, 2015 consists of 1,0 33 properties representing properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized on or prior to July 1, 201 4 and that remained in operations under a consistent reporting structure through September 30, 2015.

Other Income and Expense Items

Interest income

Interest income in creased $2 million to $20 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The in crease was primarily the result of: (i) our HC-One F acility funded in November 2014 and February 2015 (see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), (ii) additional fundings under our mezzanine loan facility with Tandem in May 2015 (see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), offset by a change in interest income recognition on our investment in the Four Seasons Notes (see Note 1 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Interest expense

Interest expense in creased $1 1 million to $1 22 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The in crease was primarily the result of: (i) our senior unsecured notes offering s during 201 4 and 201 5, (ii) increased borrowings under our line of credit facility and (iii) increased borrowings from our term loan originated in 2015. The increases in interest expense were partially offset by repayments of senior unsecured notes and mortgage debt that matured during 201 4 and 201 5. The increased borrowings were used to fund our investment activities and to refinance our debt maturities.

Our exposure to expense fluctuations related to our variable rate indebtedness is substantially mitigated by our interest rate swap contracts. For a more detailed discussion of our interest rate risk, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 3.

A t September 30, 2014, excludes $98 million of other debt that represents non-interest bearing life care bonds and occupancy fee deposits at certain of our senior housing facilities. At September 30, 2015 and 2014, $7 1 million and $72 million, respectively, of variable-rate mortgages and £357 million and £137 million ($5 41 million and $2 22 million), respectively, of term loan s are presented as fixed-rate debt as the interest payments were swapped from variable to fixed (see Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $12 million to $1 35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of the impact of our acquisitions and re development projects placed in service during 201 4 and 2015. The increases in depreciation and amortization expense were partially offset by additional depreciation expense recognized in the third quarter of 2014 as a result of a change in estimate of the depreciable life and residual value of certain properties.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses in creased $1 million to $2 1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of higher compensation related expenses.

Table of Contents

Acquisition and pursuit costs

Acquisition and pursuit costs de creased $4 million to $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The de crease was primarily due to lower levels of transactional activity in 201 5 compare d to the same period in 2014 as a result of the Brookdale T ransaction. Acquisition and pursuit costs were previously included in general and administrative expenses.

Impairments

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized an impairment charge of $70 million related to our investment in Four Seasons N otes (see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Other (expense) income, net

Other (expense) income, net de creased $4 million to an expense of $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The de crease was primarily the result of t he impact from remeasuring assets and liabilities denominated in GBP to US D.

Income tax benefit (expense)

Income taxes decreased $2 million to a benefit of $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of the tax benefit related to our share of losses from our RIDEA joint ventures formed as part of the Brookdale T ransaction and related to our U.K. real estate investments in 2015.

Equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures

Equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures de creased $2 million to $8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The de crease was primarily the result of our share of losses recognized from the CCRC JV.

Impairment of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized an impairment charge of $27 million related to our equity investment in HCRMC (see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

________________________________________

| (1) |  | For the reconciliation s, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” section below.

FFO as adjusted and FAD increased $0.11 and $0.1 5 per share, respectively, primarily as a result of increased NOI from our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions and SPP, and incremental interest income from the repayment s of two development loan s resulting from our share in the appreciation of the underlying real estate asset s. The increases were partially offset by the decline in income from DFLs as a result of the HCRMC Lease Amendment.

FFO and EPS decreased $1.33 and $1.50 per share, respectively, primarily as a result of: (i) a $478 million impairment related to our DFL investments with HCRMC, (ii) $112 million of impairment s related to our investment in Four Seasons N otes, (iii) transaction-related items of $2 9 million, (iv) a $27 million impairment related to our equity investment in

HCRMC and (v) a severance-related charge of $7 million. The decreases were partially offset by: (i) the aforementioned events impacting FFO as adjusted and FAD (ii) $38 million recognized in 2014 in net fees for terminating the leases on the 49 senior housing properties in the Brookdale T ransaction and (i i i) foreign currency remeasurement gains of $5 million.

| (1) |  | From our past presentation of SPP for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we removed a life science facility from SPP that was placed into land held for development, which no longer meet s our criteria for S PP as of the date placed into development.

SPP NOI and Adjusted NOI. SPP NOI and adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of increased occupancy. Additionally, SPP adjusted NOI increased as a result of annual rent escalations.

Total Portfolio NOI and Adjusted NOI. In addition to the impact of our SPP, our total portfolio NOI and adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of the impact of our life science development projects placed into service during 2014 and a life science acquisition in 2014.

NOI and Adjusted NOI. SPP and total portfolio NOI and adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of additional rents earned in 2015 due to exceeding pre-established thresholds and annual rent escalations, partially offset by increased operating expenses.

Other Income and Expense Items

Interest income

Interest income increased $3 8 million to $8 9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of: (i) fundings through our HC-One Facility in November 2014 and February 2015 (see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), (ii) incremental interest income from the repayment s of two development loan s resulting from the appreciation of the underlying real estate asset s and (iii) additional fundings under our mezzanine loan facility with Tandem in May 2015 (see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The increases in interest income were partially offset by a change in intere s t income recognition on our investment in the Four Seasons Notes (see Note 1 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $33 million to $3 58 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of: (i) our senior unsecured notes offerings during 2014 and 2015, (ii) increased borrowings from our term loan originated in 2015, (iii) increased borrowings under our line of credit facility and (iv) lower capitalized interest. The increases in interest expense were partially offset by repayments of senior unsecured notes and mortgage debt that matured during 2014 and 2015. The increased borrowings were used to fund our investment activities and to refinance our debt maturities.

Our exposure to expense fluctuations related to our variable rate indebtedness is substantially mitigated by our interest rate swap contracts. For a more detailed discussion of our interest rate risk, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 3 below.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $26 million to $3 70 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of the impact of our acquisitions and redevelopment projects placed in service during 2014 and 2015. The increases in depreciation and amortization expense were partially offset by additional depreciation expense recognized in 2014 as a result of a change in estimate of the depreciable life and residual value of certain properties.

53

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $1 2 million to $7 4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $7 million severa n ce-related charge resulting from the resignation of our former Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer in June 2015. In addition, the increase was the result of higher compensation related expenses.

Acquisition and pursuit costs

Acquisition and pursuit costs increased $1 0 million to $2 3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher levels of transactional activity in 2015. Acquisition and pursuit costs were previously included in general and administrative expenses.

Impairments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized the following impairment charge s: (i) $478 million related to our DFL investments with HCRMC, (ii) $11 2 million related to our investment in Four Seasons N otes and (iii) $3 million related to a MOB. S ee Note s 6 and 15 to the Co nsolidated Financial Statements.

Other (expense) income, net

Other (expense) income, net increased $6 million to $1 2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was pri marily the result of the impact from remeasuring assets and liabilities denominated in GBP to US D.

Income tax benefit (expense)

Income taxes decreased $9 million to a benefit of $7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of the tax benefit re l ated to our share of operating losses from our RIDEA joint ventures formed as part of the Brookdale T ransaction and related to our U.K. real estate investments in 2015.

Equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures

Equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $5 million to $34 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of our share of losses recognized from the CCRC JV.

Impairment of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized an impairment charge of $27 million related to our equity investment in HCRMC (see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Gain on sales of real estate

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we sold nine senior housing facilities and a MOB and recognized gains of $6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we sold two post-acute/skilled nursing facilities, a hospital and a MOB, recognizing gains of $28 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We anticipate: (i) funding recurring operating expenses, (ii) meet ing debt servi c e requirements including principal payments and maturities, and (iii) satisfying our distributions to our stockholders and non-controlling interest members, for the next 12 months primarily by using cash flow from operations, available cash balances and cash from our various financing activities.

Our principal investing needs for the next 12 months are to:

| · |  | fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs; and

| · |  | fund future acquisition, transactional and development activities.

We anticipate satisfying these future investing needs using one or more of the following:

| · |  | issuance of common or preferred stock;

| · |  | issuance of additional debt, including unsecured notes and mortgage debt;

| · |  | draws on our credit facilities; and/or

| · |  | sale or exchange of ownership interests in properties.

Access to capital markets impacts our cost of capital and ability to refinance maturing indebtedness, as well as our ability to fund future acquisitions and development through the issuance of additional securities or secured debt. Credit ratings impact our ability to access capital and directly impact our cost of capital as well. For example, as noted below, our revolving line of credit facility accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin that depends upon our credit ratings. We also pay a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends upon our credit ratings. As of October 30, 2015, we had a credit rating of BBB+ from Fitch, Baa1 from Moody’s and BBB+ from S&P on our senior unsecured debt securities.

Cash Flow Summary

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the c onsolidated s tatements of c ash f lows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.

Cash and cash equivalents were $1 20 million and $184 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, representing a decrease of $6 4 million. The following table sets forth changes in cash flows (in thousands):

|  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | Change
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 867,660 |  | $ | 883,022 |  | $ | (15,362)
Net cash used in investing activities |  |  | (1,685,585) |  |  | (957,225) |  |  | (728,360)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities |  |  | 755,880 |  |  | (142,825) |  |  | 898,705

The decrease in operating cash flow is the result of a net paydown of working capital. Our cash flow from operations is dependent upon the occupancy levels of our buildings, rental rates on leases, our tenants’ performance on their lease obligations, the level of operating expenses and other factors.

The following are significant investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015:

| · |  | made investments of $1.8 b illion (development and acquisition of real estate, and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and loans);

| · |  | paid dividends on common stock of $784 million, which were generally funded by cash provided by our operating activities and cash on hand; and

55

Table of Contents

| · |  | raised proceeds of $2.0 b illion primarily from issuances of senior unsecured notes, the term loan originated in January 2015, our net borrowings under our bank line of credit, and issuances of common stock; and repaid $4 5 0 million of senior unsecured notes and mortgage debt.

Debt

Bank Line of Credit and Term Loan

Our $2.0 billion unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “Facility”) matures on March 31, 2018 and contains a one-year extension option. Borrowings under the Facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus a margin that depends upon our credit ratings. We pay a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends on our credit ratings. Based on our credit ratings at October 3 0, 2015, the margin on the Facility was 0.925%, and the facility fee was 0.15%. The Facility also includes a feature that will allow us to increase the borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $500 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. At September 30, 2015, we had $1.0 billion, including £2 42 million ($366 million), outstanding under the Facility with a weighted average effective interest rate of 1.5 2%.

On January 12, 2015, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks for a £220 million ($3 33 million at September 30, 2015) four-year unsecured term loan (the “2015 Term Loan”) that accrues interest at a rate of GBP LIBOR plus 0.975%, subject to adjustments based on our credit ratings. Proceeds from this term loan were used to repay a £220 million draw on the Facility that partially fund ed the November 2014 HC-One Facility (see Note 7 to the Consol i dated Financial Statements). Concurrently, we entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixes the interest rate of the 2015 Term Loan at 1.79% (see Note 2 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The 2015 Term Loan contains a one-year committed extension option.

The Facility and t erm l oan s contain certain financial restrictions and other customary requirements, including cross-default provisions to other indebtedness. Among other things, these covenants, using terms defined in the agreements, (i) limit the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 60%, (ii) limit the ratio of Secured Debt to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 30%, (iii) limit the ratio of Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value to 60% and (iv) require a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.5 times. The Facility and t erm l oan s also require a Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $9.5 billion at September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, we were in compliance with each of these restrictions and requirements.

Senior Unsecured Notes

At September 30, 2015, we had senior unsecured notes outstanding with an aggregate principal balance of $8.6 billion. Interest rates on the notes ranged from 2.79% to 6.8 8% with a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.71% and a weighted average maturity of six years at September 30, 2015. The senior unsecured notes contain certain covenants including limitations on debt, maintenance of unencumbered assets, cross-acceleration provisions and other customary terms. We believe we were in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2015.

Mortgage Debt

At September 30, 2015, we had $9 40 million in aggregate principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding, which is secured by 6 3 healthcare facilities (including redevelopment properties) with a carrying value of $1.2 billion. A t September 30, 2015, i nterest rates on the mortgage debt ranged from 3.1 6% to 8.35% with a weighted average effective interest rate of 6.2 1% and a weighted average maturity of three years.

Mortgage debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments, is collateralized by real estate assets and is generally non-recourse. Mortgage debt typically restricts transfer of the encumbered assets, prohibits additional liens, restricts prepayment, requires payment of real estate taxes, requires maintenance of the assets in good condition, requires maintenance of insurance on the assets, and includes conditions to obtain lender consent to enter into and terminate material leases. Some of the mortgage debt is also cross-collateralized by multiple assets and may require tenants or operators to maintain compliance with the applicable leases or operating agreements of such real estate assets.

Equity

At September 30, 2015, we had 4 6 4 million shares of common stock outstanding. At September 30, 2015, equity totaled $1 0.5 billion and our equity securities had a market value of $17.5 billion.

At September 30, 2015, non-managing members held an aggregate of 4 million units in five limited liability companies (“DownREITs”) for which we are the managing member. The DownREIT units are exchangeable for an amount of cash approximating the then-current market value of shares of our common stock or, at our option, shares of our common stock (subject to certain adjustments, such as stock splits and reclassifications).

At-The-Market Program

In June 2015, we established an ATM Program, in connection with the renewal of our Shelf Registration Statement. Under this program, we may sell shares of our common stock from time to time having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $750 million through a consortium of banks acting as sales agents or directly to the banks acting as principals. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we issued 1.25 million shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $40.58 for proceeds of $50 million, net of fees and commissions of $1 million. During October 2015, we issued 589,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $39.20 for proceeds of $23 million, net of fees and commissions of $350,000. Actual future sales will depend upon a variety of factors, including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell the remaining shares available for sale under our program.

Shelf Registration

We filed a prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as part of a registration statement on Form S-3ASR, using a shelf registration process, which expires in June 201 8. Under the “shelf” process, we may sell any combination of the securities described in the prospectus through one or more offerings. The securities described in the prospectus include common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities and warrants.

Capital Market Outlook

The capital markets have facilitated our continued growth, including our international expansion. For the 2 1 months ended September 30, 2015, we have raised $2.5 billion in senior unsecured notes, originated a £220 million ($333 million) four-year unsecured term loan and increased our Facility from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. The capital raised, in combination with available cash and borrowing capacity under our Facility, supported $2.1 billion and $1.9 b illion of investments completed during the year ended December 31, 2014 and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. We believe our equity and debt investors, as well as our banking relationships, will provide additional capital as we pursue new investment opportunities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We own interests in certain unconsolidated joint ventures as described under Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Except in limited circumstances, our risk of loss is limited to our investment in the joint venture and any outstanding loans receivable (see Note 1 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, we have certain properties which serve as collateral for debt that is owed by a previous owner of certain of our facilities. Our risk of loss for these certain properties is limited to the outstanding debt balance plus penalties, if any. We have no other material off-balance sheet arrangements that we expect would materially affect our liquidity and capital resources except those described above under “Contractual Obligations.”

Inflation

Our leases often provide for either fixed increases in base rents or indexed escalators, based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures, and/or additional rent based on increases in the tenants’ operating revenues. Most of our MOB leases require the tenant to pay a share of property operating costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and utilities. Substantially all of our senior housing, life science, post-acute/skilled nursing and hospital leases require the operator or tenant to pay all of the property operating costs or reimburse us for all such costs. We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be offset, in part, by the operator or tenant expense reimbursements and contractual rent increases described above.

| (5) |  | Our ownership interest in HCRMC is accounted for using the equity method, which requires an ongoing elimination of DFL income that is proportional to our ownership in HCRMC. Further, our share of earnings from HCRMC (equity income) increases for the corresponding elimination of related lease expense recognized at the HCRMC entity level, which we present as a non-cash joint venture FAD adjustment.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 201 4 in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”; our critical accounting policies have not changed during 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of new accounting standards.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitat ive Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to vario us market risks, including the p otential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and forei g n currency exchange rates, specifically the GBP. We use derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value (s ee Note 2 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

To illustrate the effect of movements in the interest rate and foreign currency markets, we performed a market sensitivity analysis on our hedging instruments. We applied various basis point spreads to the underlying interest rate curves and foreign currency exchange rates of the derivative portfolio in order to determine the change in fair value. Assuming a one percentage point change in the underlying interest rate curve and foreign currency exchange rates, the estimated change in fair value of each of the underlying derivative instruments would not exceed $8 million (s ee Note 2 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Interest Rate Risk. At September 30, 2015, we are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates primarily on variable rate debt, which has been predominately hedge d through interest rate swap contracts.

Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt and assets until their maturity or earlier prepayment and refinancing. If interest rates have risen at the time we seek to refinance our fixed rate debt, whether at maturity or otherwise, our future earnings and cash flows could adversely be affected by additional borrowing costs. Conversely, lower interest rates at the time of refinancing may reduce our overall borrowing costs. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. Conversely, changes in interest rates on variable rate debt and investments would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. Assuming a one percentage point increase in the interest rate related to the variable-rate debt and variable-rate investments, and assuming no other changes in the outstanding balance as of September 30, 2015, net interest expense would increase by approximately $9 million, or $0.0 2 per common sh are on a diluted basis.

Foreign Currency Risk. At September 30, 2015, our exposure to foreign currencies primarily relates to U.K. investments in leased real estate, senior notes and related GBP denominated cash flows. Our foreign currency exposure is partially mitigated through the use of GBP denominated borrowings and foreign currency swap contracts. Based solely on our operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2015, including the impact of existing hedging arrangements, if the value of the GBP relative to the U.S. dollar were to increase or decrease by 10% compared to the average exchange

rate during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, our cash flows would have decreased or increased, as applicable, by less than $1 million.

Market Risk. We have investments in marketable debt securities classified as held-to-maturity because we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization of premiums and discounts through maturity. We consider a variety of factors in evaluating an other-than-temporary decline in value, such as: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than our current adjusted carrying value; the issuer’s financial condition, capital strength and near-term prospects; any recent events specific to that issuer and economic conditions of its industry; and our investment horizon in relationship to an anticipated near-term recovery in the market value, if any. At September 30, 2015, both the fair and carrying value of marketable debt securities was $1 18 million.

Item 4. Controls and Pro cedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2015. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
