HCP, Inc.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. Business

Overview
HCP, Inc., a Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 company, is a Maryland corporation that is organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which, together with its consolidated entities (collectively, “HCP” or the “Company”), invests primarily in real estate serving the healthcare industry in the United States (“U.S.”). The Company acquires, develops, leases, manages and disposes of healthcare real estate and provides financing to healthcare providers. The Company’s diverse portfolio is comprised of investments in the following reportable healthcare segments: (i) senior housing triple-net; (ii) senior housing operating portfolio (“SHOP”); (iii) life science and (iv) medical office.
Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement with Brookdale
On November 1, 2017, the Company and Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (“Brookdale”) entered into a Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement (the “MTCA”) to provide the Company with the ability to significantly reduce its concentration of assets leased to and/or managed by Brookdale. Through a series of dispositions and transitions of assets currently leased to and/or managed by Brookdale, as contemplated by the MTCA and further described below, the Company’s exposure to Brookdale is expected to be significantly reduced.
Master Lease Transactions. In connection with the overall transaction pursuant to the MTCA, the Company (through certain of its subsidiaries), and Brookdale (through certain of its subsidiaries) (the “Lessee”) entered into an Amended and Restated Master Lease and Security Agreement (the “Amended Master Lease”), which amended and restated the then-existing triple-net leases between the parties for 78 assets (before giving effect to the contemplated sale or transition of 34 assets discussed below), which account for primarily all of the assets subject to triple-net leases between the Company and the Lessee. Under the Amended Master Lease, the Company will have the benefit of a guaranty from Brookdale of the Lessee’s obligations and, upon a change in control, will have various additional protections under the MTCA and the Amended Master Lease including:

• | A security deposit (which increases if specified leverage thresholds are exceeded);

• | A termination right if certain financial covenants and net worth test are not satisfied;

• | Enhanced reporting requirements and related remedies; and

• | The right to market for sale the CCRC portfolio.

Future changes in control of Brookdale are permitted pursuant to the Amended Master Lease, subject to certain conditions, including the purchaser either meeting experience requirements or retaining a majority of Brookdale’s principal officers.
The Amended Master Lease preserves the renewal terms and, with certain exceptions, the rents under the previously existing triple-net leases. In addition, the Company and Brookdale agreed to the following:

• | The Company will have the right to sell, or transition to other operators, 32 triple-net assets. If such sale or transition does not occur within one year, the triple-net lease with respect to such assets will convert to a cash flow lease (under which the Company will bear the risks and rewards of operating the assets) with a term of two years, provided that the Company has the right to terminate the cash flow lease at any time during the term without penalty;

• | The Company will provide an aggregate $5 million annual reduction in rent on three assets, effective January 1, 2018;

• | The Company will sell two triple-net assets to Brookdale or its affiliates for $35 million; and

• | The Company will have the right to convert five assets to a cash flow lease by December 31, 2017. The Company has the right to terminate the cash flow lease without penalty to facilitate the sale or transition of these additional assets, at its option.

Joint Venture Transactions. Also pursuant to the MTCA, the Company and Brookdale agreed to the following:

• | The Company, which currently owns 90% of the interests in its RIDEA I and RIDEA III joint ventures with Brookdale, will purchase Brookdale’s 10% noncontrolling interest in each joint venture. These joint ventures collectively own and operate 58 independent living, assisted living, memory care and/or skilled nursing facilities (the “RIDEA Facilities”);

• | The Company will have the right to sell, or transition to other managers, 36 of the RIDEA Facilities and terminate related management agreements with an affiliate of Brookdale without penalty. If the related management agreements are not terminated within one year, the base management fee (5% of gross revenues) increases by 1% of gross revenues per year over the following two years to a maximum of 7% of gross revenues;

• | The Company will sell four of the RIDEA Facilities to Brookdale or its affiliates for $239 million;

• | A Brookdale affiliate will continue to manage the remaining 18 RIDEA Facilities pursuant to amended and restated management agreements, which provide for extended terms on select assets, modified performance hurdles for extensions and incentive fees, and modified termination rights (including stricter performance-based termination rights, a staggered right to terminate seven agreements over a 10 year period beginning in 2021, and a right to terminate at will upon payment of a termination fee, in lieu of sale-related termination rights) and two other existing facilities managed in separate RIDEA structures; and

• | The Company will have the right to sell, to certain permitted transferees, its 49% ownership interest in joint ventures that own and operate a portfolio of continuing care retirement communities and in which Brookdale owns the other 51% interest (the “CCRC JV”), subject to certain conditions and a right of first offer in favor of Brookdale. Brookdale will have a corresponding right to sell its 51% interest in the CCRC JV to certain permitted transferees, subject to certain conditions, a right of first offer and a right to terminate management agreements following such sale of Brookdale’s interest, each in favor of HCP. Following a change in control of Brookdale, the Company will have the right to initiate a sale of the CCRC portfolio, subject to certain rights of first offer and first refusal in favor of Brookdale.

RIDEA II Sale Transaction
In January 2017, the Company completed the contribution of its ownership interest in RIDEA II to an unconsolidated JV owned by HCP and an investor group led by Columbia Pacific Advisors, LLC (“CPA”) (“HCP/CPA PropCo” and “HCP/CPA OpCo,” together, the “HCP/CPA JV”). In addition, RIDEA II was recapitalized with $602 million of debt, of which $360 million was provided by a third-party and $242 million was provided by HCP. In return for both transaction elements, the Company received combined proceeds of $480 million from the HCP/CPA JV and $242 million in loan receivables and retained an approximately 40% ownership interest in RIDEA II (the note receivable and 40% ownership interest are herein referred to as the “RIDEA II Investments”). This transaction resulted in the Company deconsolidating the net assets of RIDEA II and recognizing a net gain on sale of $99 million. The RIDEA II Investments are currently recognized and accounted for as equity method investments.
On November 1, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with an investor group led by CPA to sell its remaining 40% ownership interest in RIDEA II. The Company expects the transaction to close in 2018. CPA has also agreed to cause refinancing of the Company’s $242 million loan receivables from RIDEA II within one year following the close of the transaction. Total expected proceeds to the Company from the transaction and refinancing of the loan receivables from RIDEA II are $332 million.
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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue 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 (“JVs”) and variable interest entities (“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 included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read

Table of Contents
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Real Estate
On January 1, 2017 the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”) which narrows the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) definition of a business and provides a framework that gives entities a basis for making reasonable judgments about whether a transaction involves an asset, or a group of assets, or a business. ASU 2017-01 states that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. If this initial test is not met, a set cannot be considered a business unless it includes an acquired input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. In addition, ASU 2017-01 clarifies the requirements for a set of activities to be considered a business and narrows the definition of an output. This ASU is to be applied prospectively and the Company expects that a majority of its future real estate acquisitions and dispositions will be deemed asset transactions rather than business combinations. As a result, for asset acquisitions the Company will record identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any associated noncontrolling interests at cost on a relative fair value basis. In addition, for such asset acquisitions, no goodwill will be recognized, third party transaction costs will be capitalized and any associated contingent consideration will be recorded when the contingency is resolved.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified on consolidated statements of operations for discontinued operations (see Note 4).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASU 2017-05”). The amendments in ASU 2017-05 clarify the scope of the FASB’s recently established guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition which applies to the derecognition of all nonfinancial assets and in-substance nonfinancial assets. In addition, ASU 2017-05 clarifies the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets and in-substance nonfinancial assets to align with the new revenue recognition standard (see below). ASU 2017-05 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within, and must be adopted in conjunction with the Revenue ASUs (as defined below). ASU 2017-05 can be adopted using a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is effective. The Company has not yet elected a transition method and is evaluating the complete impact of the adoption of the Revenue ASUs (see below) on January 1, 2018 to its consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures. The Company expects to complete its evaluation of the impacts of the Revenue ASUs during the fourth quarter of 2017.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the “probable” initial threshold for recognition of credit losses in current accounting guidance and, instead, reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses over the life of the financial instrument. Previously, when credit losses were measured under current accounting guidance, an entity generally only considered past events and current conditions in measuring the incurred loss. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2018. A reporting entity is required to apply the amendments in ASU 2016-13 using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company is required to reassess its financing receivables, including direct finance leases and loans receivable, and expects that application of ASU 2016-13 may result in the Company recognizing credit losses at an earlier date than would otherwise be recognized under current accounting guidance. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 to its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Between May 2014 and May 2016, the FASB issued three ASUs changing the requirements for recognizing and reporting revenue (together, herein referred to as the “Revenue ASUs”): (i) ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), (ii) ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”) and (iii) ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”). 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. ASU 2016-08 is intended to
10

Table of Contents
improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU 2016-12 provides practical expedients and improvements on the previously narrow scope of ASU 2014-09. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 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 within, beginning after December 15, 2017. All subsequent ASUs related to ASU 2014-09, including ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-12, assumed the deferred effective date enforced by ASU 2015-14. Early adoption of the Revenue ASUs is permitted for annual periods, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2016. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in the Revenue ASUs using either a modified retrospective approach, by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or full retrospective approach.
As the primary source of revenue for the Company is generated through leasing arrangements, which are excluded from the Revenue ASUs (as it relates to the timing and recognition of revenue), the Company expects that it may be impacted in its recognition of non-lease revenue, such as certain resident fees in its RIDEA structures (a portion of which are not generated through leasing arrangements), non-lease components of revenue from lease agreements and its recognition of real estate sale transactions. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue recognition for real estate sales is largely based on the transfer of control versus continuing involvement under current guidance. As a result, the Company generally expects that the new guidance will result in more transactions qualifying as sales of real estate and revenue being recognized at an earlier date than under current accounting guidance. Additionally, upon adoption of the Revenue ASUs in 2018, the Company anticipates that it will be required to separately disclose the components of its total revenue between lease revenue accounted for under existing lease guidance and service revenue accounted for under the new Revenue ASUs, including non-lease components such as certain services embedded in base leasing fees. The Company has not yet elected a transition method and is evaluating the complete impact of the adoption of the Revenue ASUs on January 1, 2018 to its consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures. The Company expects to complete its evaluation of the impacts of the Revenue ASUs during the fourth quarter of 2017.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 amends the current accounting for leases to: (i) require lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets, but continue recognizing expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to requirements under current accounting guidance, (ii) eliminate current real estate specific lease provisions and (iii) modify the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type leases for lessors. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The transition method required by ASU 2016-02 varies based on the specific amendment being adopted. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-02, the Company will recognize all of its significant operating leases for which it is the lessee, including corporate office leases and ground leases, on its consolidated balance sheets and will capitalize fewer legal costs related to the drafting and execution of its lease agreements. From a lessor perspective, the Company expects that it will be required to further bifurcate lease agreements to separately recognize and disclose non-lease components that are executory in nature. Lease components will continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and certain non-lease components will be accounted for under the Revenue ASUs. The disaggregated disclosure of lease and executory non-lease components (e.g., maintenance) will be required upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02 . The Company anticipates that it will elect a practical expedient offered in ASU 2016-02 that allows an entity to not reassess the following upon adoption (must be elected as a group): (i) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease arrangement, (ii) lease classification related to expired or existing lease arrangements, or (iii) whether costs incurred on expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs. The Company does not expect the bifurcation of non-lease components from a lease agreement to significantly impact the existing revenue recognition pattern. The Company is still evaluating the complete impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 to its consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.
The following ASUs have been issued, but not yet adopted, and the Company does not expect a material impact to its consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures upon adoption:

• | ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. For cash flow and net investments hedges existing at the date of adoption, a reporting entity must apply the amendments in ASU 2017-12 using the modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The presentation and disclosure amendments in ASU 2017-12 must be applied using a prospective approach.

• | ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2019 (upon the first goodwill impairment test performed during that fiscal year). Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. A reporting entity must apply the amendments in ASU 2017-04 using a prospective approach. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2017-04 during the fourth quarter of 2017.

• | ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity must apply the amendments

in ASU 2016-18 using a full retrospective approach. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-18 during the fourth quarter of 2017.

• | ASU No. 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”). ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the first interim period presented in any year following issuance. A reporting entity must apply the amendments in ASU 2016-16 using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.

• | ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity must apply the amendments in ASU 2016-15 using a full retrospective approach. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-15 during the fourth quarter of 2017.

• | ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for updates to certain disclosure requirements. A reporting entity is required to apply the amendments in ASU 2016-01 using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.

The Company will own an interest in this campus through a consolidated joint venture with King Street Properties. The campus includes two existing buildings totaling 400,000 square feet and is currently 66% leased.
Impairments of Real Estate
During the third quarter 2017, the Company determined that 11 underperforming senior housing triple-net assets that are candidates for potential future sale were impaired. Accordingly, the Company wrote-down the carrying amount of these 11 assets to their fair value, which resulted in an aggregate impairment charge of $23 million. The fair value of the assets was based on forecasted sales prices which are considered to be Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.

HCR ManorCare, Inc.
Discontinued operations is primarily comprised of QCP’s HCRMC DFL investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company received cash payments of $346 million from the HCRMC DFL investments.
No accretion related to its HCRMC DFL investments was recognized in 2016 due to the Company utilizing a cash basis method of accounting beginning January 1, 2016.
The Company’s acquisition of the HCRMC DFL investments in 2011 was subject to federal and state built-in gain tax of up to $2 billion if all the assets were sold within 10 years of the acquisition date. At the time of acquisition, the Company intended to hold the assets for at least 10 years, at which time the assets would no longer be subject to the built-in gain tax. In December 2015, the U.S. Federal Government passed legislation which permanently reduced the holding period, for federal tax purposes, to 5 years, which the Company satisfied in April 2016. This legislation was not extended to certain states, which maintain a 10 year requirement. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company determined that it may sell assets during the next five years and, therefore, recorded a deferred tax liability of $49 million representing its estimated exposure to state built-in gain tax.

Other Secured Loans
HC-One Facility. On June 30, 2017, the Company received £283 million ($367 million) from the repayment of its HC-One mezzanine loan.
Tandem Health Care Loan. On July 31, 2012, the Company closed a mezzanine loan facility to lend up to $205 million to Tandem Health Care (“Tandem”), as part of the recapitalization of a post-acute/skilled nursing portfolio (the “Tandem Portfolio”). The Company funded $100 million (the “First Tranche”) at closing and funded an additional $102 million (the “Second Tranche”) in June 2013. In May 2015, the Company increased and extended the mezzanine loan facility with Tandem to: (i) fund $50 million (the “Third Tranche”) and $5 million (the “Fourth Tranche”), which proceeds were used to repay a portion of Tandem’s existing senior and mortgage debt, respectively; (ii) extend its maturity to October 2018; and (iii) extend the prepayment penalty period through January 2017. The tranches (collectively, the “Tandem Mezzanine Loan”) bear interest at fixed annual rates of 12%, 14%, 6% and 6% per annum for the First, Second, Third and Fourth Tranches, respectively. The blended rate for the Tandem Mezzanine Loan is 11.5% per year.
Tandem leases the entire Tandem Portfolio to Consulate Health Care (“Consulate”) under a master lease (the “Tandem and Consulate Lease”). At September 30, 2017, as a result of the Tandem Portfolio’s operating performance, there are outstanding events of default under the Tandem and Consulate Lease (“Events of Default”) due to: (i) Consulate’s failure to meet certain financial covenants under the Tandem and Consulate Lease and (ii) events of default under Consulate’s working capital facility, which, through a cross-default provision, are Events of Default. Starting in April 2017, Consulate failed to pay the full amount of its rent under the Tandem and Consulate Lease which triggered another Event of Default. Through cross-default provisions, these Events of Default are also events of default under the Tandem Mezzanine Loan and Tandem’s senior mortgage debt (each, a “Loan Event of Default”). The Tandem Mezzanine Loan requires Tandem to pay default interest at a rate of 16.5% per year during periods in which there is an outstanding Loan Event of Default. Tandem did not pay the additional 5% default interest rate spread above the 11.5% and, therefore, created a monetary event of default under the Tandem Mezzanine Loan.
Although Tandem continues to remain current on its non-default interest payment obligations under the Tandem Mezzanine Loan, the Company believes that it is probable it will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments, including default interest payments, according to the contractual terms of the Tandem Mezzanine Loan. As the Tandem Mezzanine Loan is deemed collateral-dependent and the carrying amount of the Tandem Mezzanine Loan exceeded the fair value of the underlying collateral at June 30, 2017, as part of its quarterly review process, the Company recorded an impairment charge and related allowance of $57 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017, reducing the carrying value to $200 million, which approximated the fair value of the collateral as of June 30, 2017. The decline in fair value of the collateral was driven by a variety of factors, including recent operating results of the underlying real estate assets, as well as market and industry data, that reflect a declining trend in admissions and a continuing shift away from higher-rate Medicare plans in the post-acute/skilled nursing sector. The calculation of the fair value of the collateral was primarily based on an income approach and relies on forecasted EBITDAR (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and rent) and market data, including, but not limited to, sales price per unit/bed, rent coverage ratios, and real estate capitalization rates. All valuation inputs are considered to be Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company entered into a forbearance agreement with Tandem on May 1, 2017, pursuant to which it agreed to forbear from exercising remedies, including waiving default interest, with respect to the above-described Loan Events of Default under the Tandem Mezzanine Loan until June 30, 2017, which was subsequently extended to July 31, 2017 with certain modifications.
On July 31, 2017, subsequent to its second quarter 2017 quarterly review process and the aforementioned impairment, the Company entered into a binding agreement (“Agreement”) with the borrowers to provide an option to repay the Tandem Mezzanine Loan at a discounted value of $197 million (the “Repayment Value”). Upon execution of the Agreement, the borrowers posted a $2 million non-refundable deposit and secured the right to repay the Tandem Mezzanine Loan by October 25, 2017 (at the Repayment Value). A second non-refundable deposit of $2 million was posted by the borrowers on August 31, 2017. The borrowers also retained the option to extend the term of the Agreement to December 31, 2017 upon satisfaction of one of the following requirements: (i) posting of an additional $4 million non-refundable deposit, (ii) providing evidence of a commitment letter(s) for financing to satisfy the full Repayment Value, which is subject to the Company’s approval and may be granted or withheld in the Company’s sole discretion, or (iii) paying down the principal balance of the Tandem Mezzanine Loan by at least $50 million. On October 25, 2017, the borrowers exercised their option to extend the term of the Agreement to December 31, 2017 by posting an additional $4 million non-refundable deposit. The borrowers are obligated to continue making interest payments based on the $257 million par value of the Tandem Mezzanine Loan through the repayment date, adjusted for any principal payments received from Tandem. As part of the Agreement, the Company agreed to forbear from exercising remedies, including waiving default interest, with respect to the above-described Loan Events of Default under the Tandem Mezzanine Loan, through December 31, 2017. If the option is not exercised, the entire $257 million par value of the Tandem Mezzanine Loan is due on October 31, 2018.
During the third quarter of 2017, the Company recorded an additional $3 million impairment charge to write down the carrying value of the Tandem Mezzanine Loan to the Repayment Value and assigned the Tandem Mezzanine Loan an internal rating of

Workout. The repayment of the Tandem Mezzanine Loan is subject to customary closing conditions and may not occur within the anticipated timeframe or at all.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, the Company elected to recognize interest income on a cash basis. During both the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized interest income and received cash payments of $8 million from Tandem. During both the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized interest income and received cash payments of $23 million from Tandem. The carrying value of the Tandem Mezzanine Loan was $197 million and $256 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

NOTE 10. Debt

Bank Line of Credit and Term Loans
The Company’s $2.0 billion unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “Facility”) matures on March 31, 2018 and contains a committed one-year extension option, at a cost of 30 basis points. Borrowings under the Facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus a margin that depends on the Company’s credit ratings. 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, 2017, the margin on the Facility was 1.05% and the facility fee was 0.20%. The Facility also includes a feature that allows the Company to increase the borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $500 million, subject to securing additional commitments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had net repayments of $316 million primarily using proceeds from the RIDEA II joint venture disposition, the sale of its Four Seasons Notes and the repayment of its HC-One Facility. At September 30, 2017, the Company had $606 million, including £105 million ($141 million), outstanding under the Facility, with a weighted average effective interest rate of 2.40%.
On October 19, 2017, the Company terminated the Facility and executed a new $2.0 billion unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “New Facility”) maturing on October 19, 2021. Borrowings under the New Facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus a margin that depends on the Company’s credit ratings (1.00% initially). The Company pays a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends on its credit ratings (0.20% initially). The New Facility contains two, six-month extension options and includes a feature that allows the Company to increase the borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $750 million, subject to securing additional commitments.
On July 30, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks for a £137 million unsecured term loan (the “2012 Term Loan”). In March 2017, the Company repaid the 2012 Term Loan.
On June 30, 2017, the Company repaid £51 million of its four-year unsecured term loan entered into in January 2015 (the “2015 Term Loan”). Concurrently, the Company terminated its three-year interest rate swap which fixed the interest of the 2015 Term Loan, and therefore, beginning June 30, 2017, the 2015 Term Loan accrues interest at a rate of British pound sterling (“GBP”) LIBOR plus 1.15%, subject to adjustments based on the Company’s credit ratings. At September 30, 2017 the Company had £169 million ($226 million) outstanding on the 2015 Term Loan.
The Facility (and following its termination, the New Facility) and 2015 Term Loan 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%; (iv) require a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.5 times; and (v) require a Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $6.5 billion. At September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with each of these restrictions and requirements of the Facility and 2015 Term Loan.

NOTE 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments
From October 31, 2016 through June 2017, HCP was the sole lender to QCP of an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility”) which had a total commitment of $100 million at inception. The Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility was available to be drawn upon by QCP through October 31, 2017 with any drawn amounts due on October 31, 2018. Commitments under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility automatically and permanently decreased each calendar month by an amount equal to 50% of QCP’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ retained cash flow for the prior calendar month. All borrowings under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility were subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including (i) QCP’s senior secured revolving credit facility being unavailable, (ii) the failure of HCRMC to pay rent and (iii) other customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties. QCP could only draw on the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility prior to the one-year anniversary of the completion of the Spin-Off. Borrowings under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility would have born interest at a rate equal to LIBOR, subject to a 1.00% floor, plus an applicable margin of 6.25%. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, QCP was required to pay a facility fee equal to 0.50% per annum of the unused capacity under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility to HCP, payable quarterly. No amounts were drawn on the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and the total commitment was reduced to zero at June 30, 2017.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to, or has a significant relationship to, legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. Except as described below, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes may have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company’s policy is to expense legal costs as they are incurred.
Class Action
On May 9, 2016, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action complaint, Boynton Beach Firefighters’ Pension Fund v. HCP, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:16-cv-01106-JJH, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio against the Company, certain of its officers, HCRMC, and certain of its officers, asserting violations of the federal securities laws. The suit asserts claims under sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and alleges that the Company made certain false or misleading statements relating to the value of and risks concerning its investment in HCRMC by allegedly failing to disclose that HCRMC had engaged in billing fraud, as alleged by the U.S. Department of Justice in a pending suit against HCRMC arising from the False Claims Act. The plaintiff in the suit demands compensatory damages (in an unspecified amount), costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expert fees), and equitable, injunctive, or other relief as the Court deems just and proper. As the Boynton Beach action is in its early stages and a lead plaintiff has not yet been named, the defendants have not yet responded to the complaint. The Company believes the suit to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it.
Derivative Actions
On June 16, 2016 and July 5, 2016, purported stockholders of the Company filed two derivative actions, respectively Subodh v. HCR ManorCare Inc., et al., Case No. 30-2016-00858497-CU-PT-CXC and Stearns v. HCR ManorCare, Inc., et al., Case No. 30-2016-00861646-CU-MC-CJC, in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, against certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers and HCRMC. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. As both derivative actions contained substantially the same allegations, they have been consolidated into a single action. The consolidated action alleges that the defendants engaged in various acts of wrongdoing, including, among other things, breaching fiduciary duties by publicly making false or misleading statements of fact regarding HCRMC’s finances and prospects, and failing to maintain adequate internal controls. As the Subodh/Stearns action is in the early stages, defendants have not yet responded to the complaint. On April 18, 2017, the Court approved the parties’ stipulation staying the action pending further developments, including in the related securities class action litigation. The Court also adjourned the status conference scheduled for April 27, 2017 to January 10, 2018.
On April 10, 2017, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a derivative action, Weldon v. Martin et al., Case No. 3:17-cv-755, in federal court in the Northern District of Ohio, Western Division, against certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers and HCRMC. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The Weldon complaint asserts similar claims to those asserted in the California derivative actions. In addition, the complaint asserts a claim under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act , alleging that the Company made false statements in its 2016 proxy statement by not disclosing that the Company’s performance issues in 2015 were the direct result of billing fraud at HCRMC. On April 18, 2017, the Court re-assigned and transferred this action to the judge presiding over the related federal securities class action. Defendants have not yet been served or responded to the complaint. On July 11, 2017, the Court approved a stipulation by the parties to stay the case pending disposition of the motion to dismiss the class action.

On July 21, 2017, a purported stockholder of the Company filed another derivative action, Kelley v. HCR Manorcare, Inc., et al., Case No. 8:17-cv-01259, in federal court in the Central District of California, against certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers and HCRMC. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The Kelley complaint asserts similar claims to those asserted in Weldon and in the California derivative actions. Like Weldon, the Kelley complaint also additionally alleges that the Company made false statements in its 2016 proxy statement, and asserts a claim for a violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. The case is currently before Judge James V. Selna. On September 25, 2017, Defendants moved to transfer the action to the Northern District of Ohio (i.e., the court where the class action and other federal derivative action are pending) or, in the alternative, to stay the action. Oral argument is currently scheduled for December 4, 2017. Judge Selna granted the Company’s joint stipulation to stay the time to respond to the complaint until 60 days after the transfer or stay motion is decided.
Welltower v. Scott M. Brinker
On May 15, 2017, Welltower, Inc. filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas in Lucas County, Ohio, against Scott M. Brinker, alleging that he violated his non-competition obligations to Welltower prior to and upon acceptance of an offer of employment with the Company. In connection with Mr. Brinker’s hiring, the Company agreed to indemnify him for legal fees and any losses that result from the action. The matter is scheduled to be heard the week of November 6, 2017. The Company believes the suit to be without merit.
The Company is unable to estimate the amount of loss or range of reasonably possible losses with respect to the matters discussed above at September 30, 2017.

NOTE 13. Segment Disclosures

The Company evaluates its business and allocates resources based on its reportable business segments: (i) senior housing triple-net, (ii) SHOP, (iii) life science and (iv) medical office. Under the medical office and life science segments, the Company invests through the acquisition and development of medical office buildings (“MOBs”) and life science facilities, which generally require a greater level of property management. The Company’s senior housing facilities are managed utilizing triple-net leases and RIDEA structures. The Company has non-reportable segments that are comprised primarily of the Company’s debt investments, hospital properties and care homes in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, as updated by Note 2 herein. During the year ended December 31, 2016, 17 senior housing triple-net facilities were transitioned to a RIDEA structure (reported in the Company’s SHOP segment). During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, four senior housing triple-net facilities were transferred to the Company’s SHOP segment, of which one was transitioned to a RIDEA structure. The Company evaluates performance based upon: (i) property net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) and (ii) Adjusted NOI of the combined consolidated and unconsolidated investments in each segment. NOI is defined as rental and related revenues, including tenant recoveries, resident fees and services, and income from DFLs, less property level operating expenses. Adjusted NOI is calculated as NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-line rents, DFL non-cash interest, amortization of market lease intangibles, non-refundable entrance fees, net of entrance fee amortization and lease termination fees and the impact of deferred community fee income and expense. The adjustments to NOI and resulting Adjusted NOI for SHOP have been restated for prior periods presented to conform to the current period presentation for the adjustment to exclude the impact of deferred community fee income and expense, resulting in recognition as cash is received and expenses are paid.
Non-segment assets consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, marketable equity securities 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. See Note 17 for other information regarding concentrations of credit risk.

NOTE 14. Earnings Per Common Share

Restricted stock and certain performance restricted stock units are considered participating securities, because dividend payments are not forfeited even if the underlying award does not vest, and require use of the two-class method when computing basic and diluted earnings per share.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, diluted loss per share from continuing operations is calculated using the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, as the effect of shares issuable under employee compensation plans and upon DownREIT unit conversions would have been anti-dilutive. All DownREIT units and approximately 1 million stock options were anti-dilutive for all periods presented.
Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, 6 million shares, issuable upon conversion of 4 million DownREIT units, were not included because they are anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 7 million and 6 million shares, respectively, issuable upon conversion of 4 million and 4 million DownREIT units, were not included because they are anti-dilutive.
The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 16. Variable Interest Entities

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities
At September 30, 2017, the Company had investments in: (i) five unconsolidated VIE JVs, (ii) 48 properties leased to VIE tenants, (iii) marketable debt securities of one VIE and (iv) three loans to VIE borrowers. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of and therefore 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 JVs (CCRC OpCo, RIDEA II PropCo, Vintage Park Development JV, Waldwick JV and the LLC investment discussed below), it has no formal involvement in these VIEs beyond its investments.
The Company 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 and has been identified as a VIE (see Note 7). 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, debt service payments and capital expenditures for the properties, 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 from debt service payments, capital expenditures, and rental costs and operating expenses incurred to manage such facilities).
In January 2017, as a result of the partial sale of its interest in RIDEA II, the Company concluded that it should deconsolidate RIDEA II as it is no longer the primary beneficiary of the joint venture. The HCP/CPA JV is the primary beneficiary of both RIDEA II PropCo and RIDEA II OpCo as it controls the significant activities of RIDEA II PropCo and, of the group that controls the significant activities of RIDEA II OpCo, is most closely associated to the entity. Furthermore, control over the HCP/CPA JV is shared between HCP and CPA, and as such, the Company does not consolidate the HCP/CPA JV. Subsequent to the partial sale of its interest in RIDEA II, the Company continues to hold a direct investment in RIDEA II PropCo, which has been identified as a VIE as Brookdale, the non-managing member, does not have any substantive participating rights or kick-out rights over the managing member, HCP/CPA PropCo (see Notes 4 and 7). The assets of RIDEA II PropCo primarily consist of leased properties (net real estate), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of a combination of third-party and HCP debt (see Note 4). Assets generated by RIDEA II PropCo (primarily from RIDEA II OpCo lease payments) may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily debt service payments on the third-party and HCP debt).
The Company holds an 85% ownership interest in two development joint ventures (Vintage Park Development JV and Waldwick JV) (see Note 7), which have been identified as VIEs as power is shared with a member that does not have a substantive equity investment at risk. The assets of each joint venture primarily consist of an in-progress senior housing facility development project that it owns and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of accounts payable and expense accruals associated
28

with the cost of its development obligations. Any assets generated by each joint venture may only be used to settle its respective contractual obligations (primarily development expenses and debt service payments).
The Company holds a limited partner ownership interest in an unconsolidated LLC that has been identified as a VIE. The Company’s involvement in the entity is limited to its equity investment as a limited partner, and it does not have any substantive participating rights or kick-out rights over the general partner. The assets and liabilities of the entity primarily consist of those associated with its senior housing real estate and development activities. Any assets generated by the entity 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 also been identified as VIEs (“VIE tenants”). 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 commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (commonly referred to as 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 Company provided a £105 million ($131 million at closing) bridge loan to Maria Mallaband Care Group Ltd. (“MMCG”) to fund the acquisition of a portfolio of care homes in the U.K. MMCG created a special purpose entity to acquire the portfolio and funded it entirely using the Company’s bridge loan. As such, the special purpose entity has been identified as a VIE because it is “thinly capitalized.” The Company retains a three-year call option to acquire all the shares of the special purpose entity, which it can only exercise upon the occurrence of certain events.
The Company provided seller financing of $10 million related to its sale of seven senior housing triple-net facilities. The financing was provided in the form of a secured five-year mezzanine loan to a “thinly capitalized” borrower created to acquire the facilities.
Between 2012 and 2015, the Company funded a $257 million mezzanine loan facility to Tandem as part of a recapitalization of the Tandem Portfolio (see Note 6). Due to a decline in the fair value of the Tandem Portfolio over time, there is no longer sufficient equity at risk in Tandem and it has become a “thinly capitalized” borrower.
The classification of the related assets and liabilities and the maximum loss exposure as a result of the Company’s involvement with these VIEs at September 30, 2017 was as follows (in thousands):

VIE Type |  | Asset/Liability Type |  | Maximum Loss Exposure and Carrying Amount(1)
VIE tenants - DFLs(2) |  | Net investment in DFLs |  | $ | 602,501 |
VIE tenants - operating leases(2) |  | Lease intangibles, net and straight-line rent receivables |  | 5,183 |
CCRC OpCo |  | Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures |  | 214,140 |
RIDEA II PropCo |  | Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures |  | 251,419 |
Development JVs |  | Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures |  | 11,202 |
Tandem Health Care |  | Loans Receivable, net |  | 197,374 |
Loan - Senior Secured |  | Loans Receivable, net |  | 141,574 |
Loan - Seller Financing |  | Loans Receivable, net |  | 10,000 |
CMBS and LLC investment |  | Marketable debt and cost method investment |  | 33,630 |

_______________________________________

(1) | The Company’s maximum loss exposure represents the aggregate carrying amount of such investments (including accrued interest).

(2) | The Company’s maximum loss exposure may be mitigated by re-leasing the underlying properties to new tenants upon an event of default.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had 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).
See Notes 4, 6, and 7 for additional descriptions of the nature, purpose and operating activities of the Company’s unconsolidated VIEs and interests therein.

RIDEA I. The Company holds a 90% ownership interest in JV entities formed in September 2011 that own and operate senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure (“RIDEA I”). The Company has historically classified RIDEA I OpCo as a VIE and, as a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), also classifies RIDEA I PropCo as a VIE due to the non-managing member lacking substantive participation rights in the management of RIDEA I PropCo or kick-out rights over the managing member. The Company consolidates RIDEA I PropCo and RIDEA I OpCo as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance.

Any assets generated by the operating activities of the Tax Credit Subsidiary and Development JV may only be used to settle their contractual obligations.
NOTE 17. 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 credit risks.
The following tables provide information regarding the Company’s concentrations of credit risk with respect to certain tenants:

|  | Percentage of Gross Assets
|  | Total Company |  | Senior Housing Triple-Net
|  | September 30, |  | December 31, |  | September 30, |  | December 31,
Tenant |  | 2017 |  | 2016 |  | 2017 |  | 2016

_______________________________________

(1) | Includes assets and revenues from 64 senior housing triple-net facilities that were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2016 and sold in March 2017.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Brookdale managed or operated, in the Company’s SHOP segment, approximately 13% and 18%, respectively, of the Company’s real estate investments based on gross assets. Because an operator manages the Company’s facilities in exchange for the receipt of a management fee, the Company is not directly exposed to the credit risk of its operators in the same manner or to the same extent as its triple-net tenants. At September 30, 2017, Brookdale provided comprehensive facility management and accounting services with respect to 59 of the Company’s SHOP facilities and 62 SHOP facilities owned by its unconsolidated joint ventures, for which the Company or joint venture pay annual management fees pursuant to long-term management agreements. Most of the management agreements have terms ranging from 10 to 15 years, with three to four 5-year renewal periods. 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.
See Note 1 for further information on the reduction of concentration related to Brookdale.
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.
NOTE 18. Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2017 in the consolidated balance sheets are immaterial.

_______________________________________

(1) | Derivative assets are recorded in other assets, net and derivative liabilities are recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

(2) | Represents three interest-rate swap contracts, which hedge fluctuations in interest payments on variable-rate secured debt due to overall changes in hedged cash flows.

(3) | Represents a cross currency swap to pay 2.584% on £105 million and receive 3.75% on $131 million through February 1, 2019, with an initial and final exchange of principals at origination and maturity at a rate of 1.251 USD/GBP. Hedges the risk of changes in the USD equivalent value of a portion of the Company’s net investment in its consolidated GBP subsidiaries’ attributable to changes in the USD/GBP exchange rate.

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. Assuming a one percentage point shift in the underlying interest rate curve, the estimated change in fair value of each of the underlying derivative instruments would not exceed $2 million. Assuming a one percentage point shift in the underlying foreign currency exchange rates, the estimated change in fair value of each of the underlying derivative instruments would not exceed $2 million.
At September 30, 2017, £150 million of the Company’s GBP-denominated borrowings under the 2015 Term Loan and a £105 million cross currency swap are designated as a hedge of a portion of the Company’s net investments in GBP-functional subsidiaries

to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in the GBP to USD exchange rate. For instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, the variability in the foreign currency to USD exchange rate of the instrument is recorded as part of the cumulative translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Accordingly, the remeasurement value of the designated £150 million GBP-denominated borrowings and £105 million cross currency swap 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 cumulative balance of the remeasurement value will be reclassified to earnings when the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

• | our reliance on a concentration of a small number of tenants and operators for a significant portion of our revenues, with our concentration of assets operated by Brookdale Senior Living, Inc. (“Brookdale”) increasing as a result of the consummation of the spin-off of Quality Care Properties, Inc. (“QCP”) on October 31, 2016 (the “Spin-Off”);

• | the financial condition of our existing and future tenants, operators and borrowers, including potential bankruptcies and downturns in their businesses, and their legal and regulatory proceedings, which results in uncertainties regarding our ability to continue to realize the full benefit of such tenants’ and operators’ leases and borrowers’ loans;

• | the ability of our existing and future tenants, operators and borrowers to conduct their respective businesses in a manner sufficient to maintain or increase their revenues and to generate sufficient income to make rent and loan payments to us and our ability to recover investments made, if applicable, in their operations;

• | competition for tenants and operators, including with respect to new leases and mortgages and the renewal or rollover of existing leases;

• | our concentration in the healthcare property sector, particularly in senior housing, life sciences, medical office buildings and hospitals, which makes our profitability more vulnerable to a downturn in a specific sector that if we were investing in multiple industries;

• | availability of suitable properties to acquire at favorable prices, the competition for the acquisition and financing of those properties, and the costs of associated property development;

• | our ability to negotiate the same or better terms with new tenants or operators if existing leases are not renewed or we exercise our right to foreclose on loan collateral or replace an existing tenant or operator upon default;

• | the risks associated with our investments in joint ventures and unconsolidated entities, including our lack of sole decision making authority and our reliance on our partners’ financial condition and continued cooperation;

• | our ability to achieve the benefits of investments within expected time frames or at all, or within expected cost projections;

• | operational risks associated with third party management contracts, including the additional regulation and liabilities of our RIDEA lease structures;

• | the potential impact on us and our tenants, operators and borrowers from current and future litigation matters, including the possibility of larger than expected litigation costs, adverse results and related developments;

• | the effect on our tenants and operators of legislation, executive orders and other legal requirements, including the Affordable Care Act and licensure, certification and inspection requirements, as well as laws addressing entitlement programs and related services, including Medicare and Medicaid, which may result in future reductions in reimbursements;

• | changes in federal, state or local laws and regulations, including those affecting the healthcare industry that affect our costs of compliance or increase the costs, or otherwise affect the operations, of our tenants and operators;

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. At September 30, 2017, our portfolio of investments, including properties in our unconsolidated joint ventures (“JVs”), consisted of interests in 818 properties.
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 geographic locations and business segments including senior housing, medical office, and life science, among others; (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 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 (iv) to continue to manage our balance sheet with a targeted financial leverage of 40% relative to our assets.
We believe that our real estate portfolio holds the potential for increased future cash flows as it is well-maintained and in desirable locations within markets where new supply is generally 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 long-term 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.
36

Table of Contents
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, 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.
Our REIT qualification requires us to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains); therefore, we do not retain capital. As a result, 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 disciplined balance sheet by actively managing our debt to equity levels and maintaining multiple sources of liquidity. Our debt obligations are primarily long-term fixed rate with staggered maturities.
We finance our investments based on our evaluation of available sources of funding. For short-term purposes, we may utilize our revolving line of credit facility or arrange for other short-term borrowings from banks or other sources. We arrange for longer-term financing by offering debt and equity securities, placing mortgage debt and obtaining capital from institutional lenders and JV partners.
2017 Transaction Overview
Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement with Brookdale
On November 1, 2017, HCP and Brookdale entered into a Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement (the “MTCA”) to provide us with the ability to significantly reduce our concentration of assets leased to and/or managed by Brookdale. Through a series of dispositions and transitions of assets currently leased to and/or managed by Brookdale, as contemplated by the MTCA and further described below, our exposure to Brookdale is expected to be significantly reduced.
Master Lease Transactions
In connection with the overall transaction pursuant to the MTCA, HCP (through certain of our subsidiaries), and Brookdale (through certain of its subsidiaries) (the “Lessee”) entered into an Amended and Restated Master Lease and Security Agreement (the “Amended Master Lease”), which amended and restated the then-existing triple-net leases between the parties for 78 assets (before giving effect to the contemplated sale or transition of 34 assets discussed below), which account for primarily all of the assets subject to triple-net leases between HCP and the Lessee. Under the Amended Master Lease, we will have the benefit of a guaranty from Brookdale of the Lessee’s obligations and, upon a change in control, will have various additional protections under the MTCA and Amended Master Lease including:

• | A security deposit (which increases if specified leverage thresholds are exceeded);

• | A termination right if certain financial covenants and net worth test are not satisfied;

• | Enhanced reporting requirements and related remedies; and

• | The right to market for sale the CCRC portfolio.

Future changes in control of Brookdale are permitted pursuant to the Amended Master Lease, subject to certain conditions, including the purchaser either meeting experience requirements or retaining a majority of Brookdale’s principal officers.
The Amended Master Lease preserves the renewal terms and, with certain exceptions, the rents under the previously existing triple-net leases. In addition, HCP and Brookdale agreed to the following:

• | We will have the right to sell, or transition to other operators, 32 triple-net assets. If such sale or transition does not occur within one year, the triple-net lease with respect to such assets will convert to a cash flow lease (under which we will bear the risks and rewards of operating the assets) with a term of two years, provided that the Company has the right to terminate the cash flow lease at any time during the term without penalty;

• | We will provide an aggregate $5 million annual reduction in rent on three assets, effective January 1, 2018;

• | We will sell two triple-net assets to Brookdale or its affiliates for $35 million; and

• | We will have the right to convert five assets to a cash flow lease by December 31, 2017. We have the right to terminate the cash flow lease without penalty to facilitate the sale or transition of these additional assets, at our option.

37

Joint Venture Transactions
Also pursuant to the MTCA, HCP and Brookdale agreed to the following:

• | HCP, which currently owns 90% of the interests in its RIDEA I and RIDEA III joint ventures with Brookdale, will purchase Brookdale’s 10% noncontrolling interest in each joint venture. These joint ventures collectively own and operate 58 independent living, assisted living, memory care and/or skilled nursing facilities (the “RIDEA Facilities”);

• | We will have the right to sell, or transition to other managers, 36 of the RIDEA Facilities and terminate related management agreements with an affiliate of Brookdale without penalty. If the related management agreements are not terminated within one year, the base management fee (5% of gross revenues) increases by 1% of gross revenues per year over the following two years to a maximum of 7% of gross revenues;

• | We will sell four of the RIDEA Facilities to Brookdale or its affiliates for $239 million;

• | A Brookdale affiliate will continue to manage the remaining 18 RIDEA Facilities pursuant to amended and restated management agreements, which provide for extended terms on select assets, modified performance hurdles for extensions and incentive fees, and modified termination rights (including stricter performance-based termination rights, a staggered right to terminate seven agreements over a 10 year period beginning in 2021, and a right to terminate at will upon payment of a termination fee, in lieu of sale-related termination rights) and two other existing facilities managed in separate RIDEA structures; and

• | We will have the right to sell, to certain permitted transferees, our 49% ownership interest in joint ventures that own and operate a portfolio of continuing care retirement communities and in which Brookdale owns the other 51% interest (the “CCRC JV”), subject to certain conditions and a right of first offer in favor of Brookdale. Brookdale will have a corresponding right to sell its 51% interest in the CCRC JV to certain permitted transferees, subject to certain conditions, a right of first offer and a right to terminate management agreements following such sale of Brookdale’s interest, each in favor of HCP. Following a change in control of Brookdale, we will have the right to initiate a sale of the CCRC portfolio, subject to certain rights of first offer and first refusal in favor of Brookdale.

RIDEA II Sale Transaction
In January 2017, we completed the contribution of our ownership interest in RIDEA II to an unconsolidated JV owned by HCP and an investor group led by Columbia Pacific Advisors, LLC (“CPA”) (“HCP/CPA PropCo” and “HCP/CPA OpCo,” together, the “HCP/CPA JV”). In addition, RIDEA II was recapitalized with $602 million of debt, of which $360 million was provided by a third-party and $242 million was provided by HCP. In return for both transaction elements, we received combined proceeds of $480 million from the HCP/CPA JV and $242 million in loan receivables and retained an approximately 40% ownership interest in RIDEA II (the note receivable and 40% ownership interest are herein referred to as the “RIDEA II Investments”). This transaction resulted in us deconsolidating the net assets of RIDEA II and recognizing a net gain on sale of $99 million. The RIDEA II Investments are currently recognized and accounted for as equity method investments.
On November 1, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement with an investor group led by CPA to sell our remaining 40% ownership interest in RIDEA II. We expect the transaction to close in 2018. CPA has also agreed to cause refinancing of our $242 million loan receivables from RIDEA II within one year following the closing of the transaction. Total expected proceeds to us from the transaction and refinancing of the loan receivables from RIDEA II are $332 million.
Acquisition Transactions

• | During the second quarter of 2017, we acquired Wateridge, a 124,000 square foot campus in the Sorrento Mesa submarket of San Diego, California for $26 million. Upon acquisition, we commenced repositioning one of the buildings into class-A lab space following an office-to-lab conversion strategy.

• | During the third quarter of 2017, we acquired a portfolio of three medical office buildings in Texas for $49 million and a life science facility in South San Francisco, California for $64 million.

• | In October, we entered into definitive agreements to acquire a $228 million life science campus known as the Hayden Research Campus located in the Boston suburb of Lexington, Massachusetts. HCP will own a majority interest in this campus through a joint venture with King Street Properties (“King Street”). The campus includes two existing buildings totaling 400,000 square feet and is currently 66% leased, anchored by major life science tenants including Shire US, Inc., a subsidiary of Shire plc, and Merck, Sharp and Dohme, a subsidiary of Merck and Co., Inc. Additionally, King Street is currently seeking approvals for the joint venture to develop an additional 209,000 square feet of life science space on the campus.

Disposition and Loan Repayment Transactions
During the first quarter of 2017, we completed the following disposition and loan repayment transactions:

• | In January 2017, we sold four life science facilities in Salt Lake City, Utah for $76 million, resulting in a net gain on sale of $45 million.

• | In February 2017, we sold a hospital within one of our DFLs in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida for $43 million to the current tenant and recognized a gain on sale of $4 million.

• | In March 2017, we sold 64 senior housing triple-net assets, previously under triple-net leases with Brookdale, for $1.125 billion to affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P., resulting in a net gain on sale of $170 million.

• | In March 2017, we sold our aggregate £138.5 million par value Four Seasons senior notes (“Four Seasons Notes”) for £83 million ($101 million). The disposition of the Four Seasons Notes generated a £42 million ($51 million) gain on sale as the sales price was above the previously-impaired carrying value of £41 million ($50 million). In addition, we sold our Four Seasons senior secured term loan at par plus accrued interest for £29 million ($35 million).

During the second quarter of 2017, we completed the following disposition and loan repayment transactions:

• | In April 2017, we sold a land parcel in San Diego, California for $27 million and one life science building in San Diego, California for $5 million.

• | In June 2017, we received £283 million ($367 million) from the repayment of our HC-One Facility.

During the third quarter of 2017, we sold two senior housing triple-net facilities for $15 million and recognized a gain on sale of $5 million.
Financing Activities

• | During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we had net repayments of $316 million on our revolving line of credit (the “Facility”) primarily using proceeds from the RIDEA II joint venture disposition, the sale of our Four Seasons Notes and the repayment of our HC-One Facility.

• | During the first quarter of 2017, we repaid our £137 million unsecured term loan (the “2012 Term Loan”) and $472 million of mortgage debt.

• | During the third quarter of 2017, we repurchased $500 million of our 5.375% senior notes due 2021 and recorded a $54 million loss on debt extinguishment.

• | On October 19, 2017, we terminated the Facility and entered into a new $2.0 billion unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “New Facility”) maturing on October 19, 2021. Borrowings under the New Facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus a margin that depends on our credit ratings (1.00% initially). We pay a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends on our credit ratings (0.20% initially). The New Facility contains two, six-month extension options and includes a feature that allows us to increase the borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $750 million, subject to securing additional commitments.

Developments and Redevelopments
As of May 2017, we have leased 100% of The Cove Phase I and Phase II.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we added $169 million of new projects to our development and redevelopment pipelines including:

• | Commenced $22 million of redevelopment projects at two recently-acquired life science assets in the Sorrento Mesa submarket of San Diego.

• | Commenced a $40 million redevelopment of a medical office building located in the University City submarket in Philadelphia near the University of Pennsylvania.

• | Entered into a joint venture agreement and commenced development on a 111 unit senior housing facility in Otay Ranch, California (San Diego MSA) for $31 million. Our share of the total construction cost is approximately $28 million with an estimated completion in the second half of 2018.

• | Commenced development on a 79 unit senior housing facility in Waldwick, New Jersey (New York MSA) for $31 million. Our share of the total construction costs is approximately $26 million with an estimated completion in late 2018.

Under the medical office and life science segments, we invest through the acquisition and development of medical office buildings (“MOBs”) and life science facilities, which generally require a greater level of property management. Our senior housing facilities are managed utilizing triple-net leases and RIDEA structures. We have other non-reportable segments that are comprised primarily of our U.K. care homes, debt investments and hospitals. We evaluate performance based upon (i) property net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) and (ii) Adjusted NOI (cash NOI) of the combined consolidated and unconsolidated investments in each segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as updated by Note 2 herein.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Net Operating Income
NOI and Adjusted NOI are non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) supplemental financial measures used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate. We include properties from our consolidated portfolio, as well as our pro-rata share of properties owned by our unconsolidated joint ventures, in our NOI and Adjusted NOI. We believe providing this information assists investors and analysts in estimating the economic interest in our total portfolio of real estate. Our pro-rata share information is prepared on a basis consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts, is intended to reflect our proportionate economic interest in the operating results of properties in our portfolio and is calculated by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period. We do not control the unconsolidated joint ventures, and the pro-rata presentations of revenues and expenses included in NOI (see below) do not represent our legal claim to such items. The joint venture members or partners are entitled to profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the joint venture agreements, which provide for such allocations generally according to their invested capital.
The presentation of pro-rata information has limitations, which include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses and (ii) other companies in our industry may calculate their pro-rata interest differently, limiting the usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, the pro-rata financial information should not be considered independently or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP financial statements, using the pro-rata financial information as a supplement.
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 all other financial statement amounts included in net income (loss) as presented in Note 13 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 non-cash interest, amortization of market lease intangibles, non-refundable entrance fees, net of entrance fee amortization and lease termination fees and the impact of deferred community fee income and expense. The adjustments to NOI and resulting Adjusted NOI for SHOP have been restated for prior periods presented to conform to the current period presentation for the adjustment to exclude the impact of deferred community fee income and expense, resulting in recognition as cash is received and expenses are paid. Adjusted NOI is oftentimes referred to as “cash NOI.” We use NOI and Adjusted NOI to make decisions about resource allocations, to assess and
40

Table of Contents
compare property level performance, and to evaluate our same property portfolio (“SPP”), as described below. We believe that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable 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. For a reconciliation of NOI and Adjusted NOI to net income (loss) by segment, refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Operating expenses generally relate to leased medical office and life science properties and SHOP facilities. 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 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 include properties from our consolidated portfolio, as well as properties owned by our unconsolidated joint ventures in our SPP NOI and Adjusted NOI (see NOI above for further discussion regarding our use of pro-rata share information and its limitations). SPP NOI excludes (i) certain non-property specific operating expenses that are allocated to each operating segment on a consolidated basis and (ii) entrance fees and related activity such as deferred expenses, reserves and management fees related to entrance fees. SPP NOI for properties that undergo a change in ownership is reported based on the current ownership percentage.
Properties are included in our SPP once they are stabilized for the full period in both comparison periods. Newly acquired operating assets are generally considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up (typically when the tenant(s) control(s) 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. Properties that experience a change in reporting structure, such as a transition from a triple-net lease to a RIDEA reporting structure, are considered stabilized after 12 months in operations under a consistent reporting structure. A property is removed from our SPP when it is classified as held for sale, sold, placed into redevelopment, experiences a casualty event that significantly impacts operations or changes its reporting structure (such as triple-net to SHOP).
For a reconciliation of SPP to total portfolio Adjusted NOI and other relevant disclosures by segment, refer to our Segment Analysis below.
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 depreciable property, including any current and deferred taxes directly associated with sales of depreciable property, impairments of, or related to, depreciable real estate, plus real estate and other depreciation and amortization, and adjustments to compute our share of FFO and FFO as adjusted (see below) from joint ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro-rata share of both our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We reflect our share of FFO for unconsolidated joint ventures by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated joint ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our FFO to remove the third party ownership share of the applicable reconciling items based on actual ownership percentage for the applicable periods. Our pro-rata share information is prepared on a basis consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts, is intended to reflect our proportionate economic interest in the operating results of properties in our portfolio and is calculated by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period. We do not control the unconsolidated joint ventures, and the pro-rata presentations of reconciling items included in FFO (see above) do not represent our legal claim to such items. The joint venture members or partners are entitled to profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the joint venture agreements, which provide for such allocations generally according to their invested capital. See NOI above for further discussion regarding our use of pro-rata share information and its limitations.
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
41

Table of Contents
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 non-comparable items including, but not limited to, casualty-related charges (recoveries), severance and related charges, litigation costs, preferred stock redemption charges, impairments (recoveries) of non-depreciable assets, prepayment costs (benefits) associated with early retirement or payment of debt, foreign currency remeasurement losses (gains) and transaction-related items (“FFO as adjusted”). Prepayment costs (benefits) associated with early retirement of debt include the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, or additional costs, expenses, discounts, make-whole payments, penalties or premiums incurred as a result of early retirement or payment of debt. Transaction-related items include expensed acquisition and pursuit costs 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 and is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its FFO measure for the REIT industry, it also recognized that “management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and authority to publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community.” We believe stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts who review our operating performance are best served by an FFO run-rate earnings measure that includes, in addition to adjustments made to arrive at the NAREIT defined measure of FFO, other adjustments to net income (loss). FFO as adjusted is used by management in analyzing our business and the performance of our properties, and we believe it is important that stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts understand this measure used by management. We use FFO as adjusted to: (i) evaluate our performance in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions, (ii) evaluate the performance of our management, (iii) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources, (iv) assess our performance as compared with similar real estate companies and the industry in general and (v) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating an adjusted FFO measure, and accordingly, our FFO as adjusted may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and FFO as adjusted and other relevant disclosure, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” 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) non-cash interest 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: (i) is 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. Certain amounts in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation” below for FAD have been reclassified for prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. More specifically, we have combined wholly-owned and our share from unconsolidated joint ventures recurring capital expenditures, including leasing costs and second generation tenant and capital improvements (previously reported in “other”) into a single line item. In addition, we have combined cash CCRC JV entrance fees with CCRC JV entrance fee amortization into a single line item, separately disclosed deferred income taxes (previously reported in “other”) and collapsed immaterial line items into ‘other’. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro-rata share of both our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We reflect our share of FAD for unconsolidated joint ventures by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated joint ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our FAD to remove the third party ownership share of the applicable reconciling items based on actual ownership percentage for the applicable periods (see FFO above for further disclosure regarding our use of pro-rata share information and its limitations). 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. We believe FAD is an alternative run-rate earnings measure that improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and makes comparisons with: (i) expected results, (ii) results of previous periods and (iii) results among REITS more meaningful. FAD does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as it excludes the following items which generally flow through our cash flows from operating activities: (i) adjustments for changes in working capital or the actual timing of the payment of income or expense items that are accrued in the period, (ii) transaction-related costs, (iii) litigation settlement expenses, (iv) severance-related expenses and (v) actual cash receipts from interest income recognized on loans receivable (in contrast to our FAD adjustment to exclude non-cash interest and depreciation related to our investments in direct financing leases). Furthermore, FAD is adjusted for recurring capital expenditures, which are generally not considered when determining cash flows from operations or liquidity. FAD is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FAD and other relevant disclosure, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” below.

• | the transfer of 21 senior housing triple-net facilities to our SHOP segment, of which 18 were transitioned to a RIDEA structure during the fourth quarter of 2016 and year-to-date 2017.

The decrease to Total Portfolio NOI and Adjusted NOI is partially offset by (i) increased non-SPP income from five senior housing triple-net facilities acquired in the first quarter of 2016 and (ii) the aforementioned increases to SPP.

(2) | From our past presentation of SPP for the three months ended September 30, 2016, we removed four life science facilities that were classified as held for sale and a facility that was sold. Our 2016 total portfolio property count has been adjusted to include seven properties in development and eight properties classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2016.

SPP NOI and adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of the following:

• | new leasing activity; and

• | specific to adjusted NOI, annual rent escalations.

Total Portfolio NOI and adjusted NOI decreased primarily as a result of the following impacts to Non-SPP:

• | decreased income from the sale of life science facilities in 2016 and 2017; partially offset by

• | increased income from (i) increased occupancy in portions of a development placed in operations in 2016 and 2017 and (ii) life science acquisitions in 2016 and 2017.

Interest income
Interest income decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of the payoff of: (i) our HC-One Facility in June 2017 and (ii) a participating development loan during the third quarter of 2016.
Interest income decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of (i) the payoff of our HC-One Facility in June 2017 and (ii) incremental interest income received during the second quarter of 2016 due to the payoff of three participating development loans.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of senior unsecured notes and mortgage debt repayments, which occurred primarily in the second half of 2016 and third quarter of 2017.
Approximately 89% and 86% of our total debt, inclusive of $44 million and $356 million of variable rate debt swapped to fixed through interest rate swaps, was fixed rate debt as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At September 30, 2017, our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt had weighted average interest rates of 4.19% and 2.17%, respectively. At September 30, 2016, our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt had weighted average interest rates of 4.65% and 1.84%, respectively. 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 decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily as a result of the sale of 64 senior housing triple-net assets and the deconsolidation of RIDEA II during the first quarter of 2017, partially offset by depreciation and amortization of assets acquired during 2016 and year-to-date 2017.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily as a result of severance and related charges primarily resulting from the departure of our former President and Chief Executive Officer in the third quarter of 2016 compared to severance and related charges primarily related to the departure of our former Executive Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer in the third quarter of 2017.

Impairments (recoveries), net
We recognized $23 million of impairments on 11 underperforming senior housing triple-net facilities and a $3 million impairment on our Tandem Mezzanine Loan for the three months ended September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $59 million of impairments on our Tandem Mezzanine Loan and the aforementioned senior housing triple-net facility impairments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, there were no impairments recognized.
See Notes 3 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to our real estate impairments and Tandem Mezzanine Loan, respectively.
Gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (primarily in the first quarter of 2017), we sold 66 senior housing triple-net assets, five life science facilities, a SHOP facility, a MOB and a 40% interest in RIDEA II and recognized total net gain on sales of real estate of $323 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we sold a portfolio of five facilities in one of our non-reportable segments and two senior housing triple-net facilities, a life science facility, three MOBs and a SHOP facility and recognized total gain on sales of $120 million.
Loss on debt extinguishments
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased $500 million of our 5.375% senior notes due 2021 and recognized a $54 million loss on debt extinguishment, primarily related to a premium for early payment.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net, decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 primarily as a result of $10 million of casualty-related charges due to hurricanes in the third quarter of 2017. Other income, net, increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily as a result of the £42 million ($51 million) gain on sale of our Four Seasons Notes, partially offset by the aforementioned casualty-related charges in the third quarter of 2017.
Income tax benefit (expense)
The increase in income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily the result of (i) a $2 million deferred tax benefit from the casualty-related charges recognized in the third quarter of 2017 and (ii) a $2 million income tax expense associated with state built-in gain tax for the disposition of certain real estate assets during 2016. The increase in income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily the result of: (i) a $6 million income tax expense associated with state built-in gain tax for the disposition of certain real estate assets during 2016, (ii) a $5 million tax benefit from the sale of a 40% interest in RIDEA II in 2017 and (iii) a $2 million deferred tax benefit from the casualty-related charges recognized in the third quarter of 2017.
Equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures
The increase in equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily the result of income from our investment in RIDEA II which was deconsolidated in the first quarter of 2017.
Total discontinued operations
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were no discontinued operations. Discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 relate to income from the operations of QCP.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that our cash flow from operations, available cash balances and cash from our various financing activities will be adequate for at least the next 12 months for purposes of: (i) funding recurring operating expenses; (ii) meeting debt service requirements, including principal payments and maturities; and (iii) satisfying our distributions to our stockholders and non-controlling interest members.
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;

54

Table of Contents

• | 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, 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. At October 27, 2017, we had a credit rating of BBB from Fitch, Baa2 from Moody’s and BBB from S&P Global on our senior unsecured debt securities.
Cash Flow Summary

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows 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 $134 million and $95 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, representing an increase of $39 million. The following table sets forth changes in cash flows (in thousands):

| Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | Change
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | 637,896 |  |  | $ | 998,632 |  |  | $ | (360,736 | )
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | 1,755,823 |  |  | (314,159 | ) |  | 2,069,982 |
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | (2,354,963 | ) |  | (897,328 | ) |  | (1,457,635 | )

The decrease in operating cash flow is primarily the result of (i) decreased Adjusted NOI related to the QCP Spin-Off and dispositions in the fourth quarter of 2016 and first three quarters of 2017 and (ii) decreased interest received as a result of loan repayments during 2017; partially offset by (i) 2016 acquisitions, (ii) annual rent increases, and (iii) decreased interest paid as a result of lower balances on our senior unsecured notes, term loans and line of credit. 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, 2017:

• | received net proceeds of $1.7 billion from the sale of real estate, including the sale and recapitalization of RIDEA II;

• | received net proceeds of $550 million primarily from the sale of our Four Seasons investments, the repayment of our HC-One Facility, and a DFL repayment;

• | made investments of $527 million primarily for the development of real estate;

• | repaid $1.8 billion, net under our bank line of credit, 2012 Term Loan, 2015 Term Loan, senior unsecured notes and mortgage debt; and

• | paid dividends on common stock of $521 million.

Debt

See Note 10 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our outstanding debt.
See “2017 Transaction Overview” for further information regarding our significant financing activities through October 31, 2017.
Equity

At September 30, 2017, we had 469 million shares of common stock outstanding, equity totaled $5.9 billion, and our equity securities had a market value of $13.2 billion.
At September 30, 2017, 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 September 30, 2017, the DownREIT units were convertible into 7 million shares of our common stock.
At-The-Market Program
In June 2015, we established an at-the-market 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. There was no activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and, at September 30, 2017, shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of $676 million were available for sale under the at-the-market program. 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 SEC as part of a registration statement on Form S-3ASR, using a shelf registration process. Our current shelf registration statement expires in June 2018, at which time we expect to file a new shelf registration statement. 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We own interests in certain unconsolidated joint ventures as described in Note 7 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. 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 for commitments and operating leases included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 in “Contractual Obligations” under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our 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, 2016 in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during 2017.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign 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 (see Note 19 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, the estimated change in fair value of each of the underlying derivative instruments would not exceed $2 million. Assuming a one percentage point change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rates, the estimated change in fair value of each of the underlying derivative instruments would not exceed $2 million.
Interest Rate Risk. At September 30, 2017, our exposure to interest rate risk is primarily on our variable rate debt. At September 30, 2017, $44 million of our variable-rate debt was hedged by interest rate swap transactions. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, with the objective of managing the exposure to interest rate risk by converting the interest rates on our variable-rate debt to fixed interest rates.
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 be adversely 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. A one percentage point increase in interest rates would change the fair value of our fixed rate debt and investments by approximately $255 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and would not materially impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, changes in interest rates on variable rate debt and investments would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not materially impact 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 at September 30, 2017, our annual interest expense and interest income would increase by approximately $9 million and $1 million, respectively.
Foreign Currency Risk. At September 30, 2017, our exposure to foreign currencies primarily relates to U.K. investments in leased real estate, loans receivables and related GBP denominated cash flows. Our foreign currency exposure is partially mitigated through the use of GBP-denominated borrowings and a foreign currency swap contract. Based solely on our operating results for the three

months ended September 30, 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2017, both the fair value and carrying value of marketable debt securities was $19 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
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, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), 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, 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 Exchange Act, 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, 2017. 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 as of September 30, 2017.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) 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.
