NOI is defined as rental and related revenues, including tenant recoveries, resident fees and services, and income from DFLs, less property level operating expenses; NOI excludes interest income, investment management fee income, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, general and administrative expenses, impairments, impairment recoveries, other income, net, income taxes, and equity income from and impairments of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. 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. The Company uses NOI and adjusted NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess and compare property level performance. The Company believes that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. 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, the Company&#x2019;s 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.</label>

Adjusted NOI is calculated as NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-line rents, DFL non-cash interest, amortization of market lease intangibles and lease termination fees (&#x201C;non cash adjustments&#x201D;). Adjusted NOI is oftentimes referred to as &#x201C;cash NOI.&#x201D; The Company uses adjusted NOI to make decisions about resource allocations, and to assess and compare property level performance. The Company believes that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to adjusted NOI. Adjusted 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, the Company&#x2019;s definition of Adjusted NOI may not be comparable to the definition used by other REITs or real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating Adjusted NOI.</label>
