•Same community operating income increased 6.0% over the prior year period.
•Net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $114.7 million compared to $50.7 million for third quarter of 2024. Net loss in the third quarter of 2025 includes a $62.7 million non-cash impairment charge related to anticipated dispositions.

“Brookdale’s solid third quarter results highlight the underlying strength of our company amidst the accelerating tailwind from increasing demand for senior living coupled with suppressed inventory growth,” said Nick Stengle, Brookdale’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our third quarter weighted average consolidated occupancy of 81.8% was our highest since the onset of the pandemic in the first quarter of 2020, and our occupancy exhibited positive momentum during the quarter and into October. I am excited to join the Brookdale team at this inflection point, and we remain laser focused on delivering shareholder value via profitable occupancy and Adjusted EBITDA growth.”

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS: 3Q 2025 vs 3Q 2024
•Resident fees: The increase was primarily due to the 290 basis point increase in weighted average occupancy and the increase in RevPOR, primarily the result of the current year annual rate increase, partially offset by the disposition of communities since the beginning of the prior year period, which resulted in $7.3 million less in resident fees during the third quarter of 2025.
•Facility operating expense: The increase was primarily due to increases in wage rates, estimated group health insurance expense, and utilities expense, partially offset by the disposition of communities since the beginning of the prior year period, which resulted in $6.4 million less in facility operating expense during the third quarter of 2025.
Page 2

•General and administrative expense: The increase was primarily due to a $5.1 million increase in transaction, legal, and organizational restructuring costs, which was primarily attributable to $3.6 million of organizational restructuring costs related to senior leadership changes and the Company's efforts to reduce general and administrative expense as it scaled its general and administrative costs in connection with community dispositions and $1.3 million of transaction costs for stockholder relations advisory matters in the current period.
•Cash facility operating lease payments: The decrease was primarily due to the acquisition of 36 communities previously subject to operating leases subsequent to the prior year period.
•Net income (loss): The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to a $61.8 million increase in non-cash impairment charges, primarily related to the planned disposition of certain underperforming communities resulting in a change in their previously intended holding periods, the increase in facility operating expense, a $5.1 million increase in transaction, legal, and organizational restructuring costs, and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by the increase in resident fees.
•Adjusted EBITDA: The increase was primarily due to the increase in resident fees and the decrease in cash facility operating lease payments, partially offset by the increase in facility operating expense.
LIQUIDITY
Consolidated summary of liquidity metrics:

($ in millions) | 3Q 2025 | 3Q 2024 | Increase / (Decrease) |  |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 76.5 | $ | 66.5 | $ | 10.0 |  |
Non-development capital expenditures, net | 38.4 | 41.7 | (3.3) |  |
Adjusted Free Cash Flow | 21.8 | 13.9 | 7.9 |  |

•Net cash provided by operating activities: The increase was primarily due to the increase in resident fees and a decrease in cash facility operating lease payments, partially offset by an increase in facility operating expense compared to the prior year period.
•Non-development capital expenditures, net: The decrease in non-development capital expenditures, net of lessor reimbursements, was primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in lessor reimbursements and timing of projects.
•Adjusted Free Cash Flow: The increase was primarily due to the increase in net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by a $3.4 million decrease in property insurance proceeds.
•Total liquidity: Total liquidity of $351.6 million as of September 30, 2025 included $253.4 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $98.1 million of availability on the Company's secured credit facility. Total liquidity as of September 30, 2025 increased $1.6 million from June 30, 2025, primarily attributable to the $21.8 million of Adjusted Free Cash Flow and $7.1 million of proceeds from the sale of communities, partially offset by repayments of mortgage debt during the period.
TRANSACTION UPDATE
Ventas Lease Transactions
In December 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and Ventas, Inc. ("Ventas") and certain of its subsidiaries, amended the existing master lease arrangement pursuant to which the Company, at the time of the amendment, continued to lease 120 communities (10,180 units). Beginning January 1, 2026, the Company will continue to lease 65 communities (4,055 units) and the remaining 55 communities (6,127 units) that were not renewed are either being sold by Ventas or transitioned, with such transitions commencing on September 1, 2025. During the third quarter of 2025, the lease terminated on 13 of such communities (1,412 units).
Owned Community Dispositions
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company completed the sale of nine owned communities (215 units) and received cash proceeds of $7.1 million.
During the next twelve months, the Company expects to close on the disposition of six owned communities (773 units) classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2025. Additionally, the Company plans to market in 2025 and sell approximately 25 owned communities. The closings of the sales of the communities are subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including (where applicable) the receipt of regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that the transactions will close or, if they do, when the actual closings will occur.

2025 OUTLOOK
Reflecting the Company's year-to-date progress and an improved outlook for the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company has favorably revised its annual Adjusted EBITDA guidance range.
•Full year 2025 guidance for Adjusted EBITDA has been improved to a range of $455 million to $460 million from the previous range of $445 million to $455 million.
•The Company reiterates its full year 2025 expectation for RevPAR year-over-year growth of 5.25% to 6.00%.
•Additionally, the Company reiterates its expectation to deliver positive Adjusted Free Cash Flow in the range of $30 million to $50 million for the full year 2025.
Full year 2025 guidance includes only announced acquisition and disposition activity. The Company's revised guidance range gives effect to updated expectations on the transition dates for the remaining Ventas non-renewal communities to be transitioned or sold. Reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in the foregoing guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing or amounts of items required to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA from the Company's net income (loss) and Adjusted Free Cash Flow from the Company's net cash provided by operating activities. Variability in the timing or amounts of items required to reconcile the measure may have a significant impact on the Company's future GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains the financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to aid investors in better understanding the factors and trends affecting the Company’s performance and liquidity. However, investors should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, including net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, or net cash provided by operating activities. The Company cautions investors that amounts presented in accordance with the Company’s definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate non-GAAP measures in the same manner. The Company urges investors to review the following reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures from the most comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding: benefit/provision for income taxes, non-operating income/expense items, and depreciation and amortization; and further adjusted to exclude income/expense associated with non-cash, non-operational, transactional, legal, cost reduction, or organizational restructuring items that management does not consider as part of the Company’s underlying core operating performance and that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods. For the periods presented herein, such other items include non-cash impairment charges, operating lease expense adjustment, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, gain/loss on sale of communities, gain/loss on facility operating lease termination, and transaction, legal, and organizational restructuring costs. Transaction costs include those directly related to acquisition, disposition, financing, and leasing activity and stockholder relations advisory matters, and are primarily comprised of legal, finance, consulting, professional fees, and other third-party costs. Legal costs include charges associated with putative class action litigation. Organizational restructuring costs include those related to the Company’s efforts to reduce general and administrative expense and its senior leadership changes, including severance.
The Company believes that presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure is useful to investors because (i) it is one of the metrics used by the Company’s management for budgeting and other planning purposes, to review the Company’s historic and prospective core operating performance, and to make day-to-day operating decisions; (ii) it provides an assessment of operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely revenues and the controllable cost structure of the organization, by eliminating items related to the Company’s financing and capital structure and other items that management does not consider as part of the Company’s underlying core operating performance and that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods; (iii) the Company believes that this measure is used by research analysts and investors to evaluate the Company’s operating results and to value companies in its industry; and (iv) the Company uses the measure for components of executive compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as a performance measure, including: (i) excluded interest and income tax are necessary to operate the Company’s business under its current financing and capital structure; (ii) excluded depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges may represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of the Company’s communities, goodwill, and other assets and may be indicative of future needs for capital expenditures; and (iii) the Company may incur income/expense similar to those for which adjustments are made, such as gain/loss on sale of assets, facility operating lease termination, or debt modification and extinguishment, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and transaction, legal, and other costs, and such income/expense may significantly affect the Company’s operating results.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that the Company defines as net cash provided by operating activities before: distributions from unconsolidated ventures from cumulative share of net earnings, changes in prepaid insurance premiums financed with notes payable, changes in operating lease assets and liabilities for lease termination, cash paid/received for gain/loss on facility operating lease termination, and lessor capital expenditure reimbursements under operating leases; plus: property and casualty insurance proceeds; less: non-development capital expenditures and payment of financing lease obligations. Non-development capital expenditures are comprised of corporate and community-level capital expenditures, including those related to maintenance, renovations, upgrades, and other major building infrastructure projects for the Company’s communities and is presented net of lessor reimbursements. Non-development capital expenditures do not include capital expenditures for: community expansions, major community redevelopment and repositioning projects, and the development of new communities.
The Company believes that presentation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a liquidity measure is useful to investors because (i) it is one of the metrics used by the Company’s management for budgeting and other planning purposes, to review the Company’s historic and prospective sources of operating liquidity, and to review the Company’s ability to service its outstanding indebtedness, pay dividends to stockholders, engage in share repurchases, and make capital expenditures, including development capital expenditures; and (ii) it provides an indicator to management to determine if adjustments to current spending decisions are needed.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow has material limitations as a liquidity measure, including: (i) it does not represent cash available for dividends, share repurchases, or discretionary expenditures since certain non-discretionary expenditures, including mandatory debt principal payments, are not reflected in this measure; (ii) the cash portion of non-recurring charges related to gain/loss on facility lease termination generally represent charges/gains that may significantly affect the Company’s liquidity; and (iii) the impact of timing of cash expenditures, including the timing of non-development capital expenditures, limits the usefulness of the measure for short-term comparisons.
