LTC REPORTS 2020 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CALIFORNIA, July 30, 2020-- LTC Properties, Inc. (NYSE: LTC), a real estate investment trust that primarily invests in seniors housing and health care properties, today announced operating results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Net income available to common stockholders was $1.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the 2020 second quarter, compared with $20.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the same period in 2019. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a non-recurring $17.7 million write-off of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances related to an affiliate of Senior Lifestyle Corporation (“Senior Lifestyle”) and a $0.6 million loss on the liquidation of an unconsolidated joint venture with another affiliate of Senior Lifestyle, partially offset by higher rental and interest income from acquisitions and mortgage funding in 2020. The write-off of Senior Lifestyle straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances was due to a shortfall in payments of May and June 2020 rent obligations.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) was $12.0 million for the 2020 second quarter, compared with $29.7 million for the comparable 2019 period. FFO per diluted common share was $0.31 and $0.75 for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in FFO and FFO per diluted common share was primarily due to the $17.7 million non-recurring write-off discussed above. Excluding the $17.7 million non-recurring write-off, FFO per diluted common share for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.76 and $0.75, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2020, LTC funded additional loan proceeds of $2.0 million under an existing mortgage loan. The incremental funding bears interest at 8.89% escalating annually by 2.25%.

Subsequent to June 30, 2020, LTC completed the following:

| Ÿ | Consolidated its four leases with Brookdale Senior Living Communities, Inc. into one master lease and extended the term by one year to December 31, 2021. The master lease provides three renewal options consisting of a four-year renewal option, a five-year renewal option and a 10-year renewal option. The notice period for the first renewal option is January 1, 2021 to April 30, 2021. The economic terms of rent remain the same as the consolidated rent terms under the previous four separate lease agreements.

Supplemental Reporting Measures

FFO and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) are supplemental measures of a real estate investment trust’s (“REIT”) financial performance that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Investors, analysts and the Company use FFO and FAD as supplemental measures of operating performance. The Company believes FFO and FAD are helpful in evaluating the operating performance of a REIT. Real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, but cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. We believe that by excluding the effect of historical cost depreciation, which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO and FAD facilitate like comparisons of operating performance between periods. Occasionally, the Company may exclude non-recurring items from FFO and FAD in order to allow investors, analysts and our management to compare the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated items.

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), means net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on the sale of real estate and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from that of the Company; therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing our Company’s FFO to that of other REITs.

We define FAD as FFO excluding the effects of straight-line rent, amortization of lease inducement, effective interest income, deferred income from unconsolidated joint ventures, non-cash compensation charges, capitalized interest and non-cash interest charges. GAAP requires rental revenues related to non-contingent leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease to be recognized evenly over the life of the lease. This method results in rental income in the early years of a lease that is higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset included in our consolidated balance sheet. At some point during the lease, depending on its terms, cash rent payments exceed the straight-line rent which results in the straight-line rent receivable asset decreasing to zero over the remainder of the lease term. Effective interest method, as required by GAAP, is a technique for calculating the actual interest rate for the term of a mortgage loan based on the initial origination value. Similar to the accounting methodology of straight-line rent, the actual interest rate is higher than the stated interest rate in the early years of the mortgage loan thus creating an effective interest receivable asset included in the interest receivable line item in our consolidated balance sheet and reduces down to zero when, at some point during the mortgage loan, the stated interest rate is higher than the actual interest rate. FAD is useful in analyzing the portion of cash flow that is available for distribution to stockholders. Investors, analysts and the Company utilize FAD as an indicator of common dividend potential. The FAD payout ratio, which represents annual distributions to common shareholders expressed as a percentage of FAD, facilitates the comparison of dividend coverage between REITs.

While the Company uses FFO and FAD as supplemental performance measures of our cash flow generated by operations and cash available for distribution to stockholders, such measures are not representative of cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income available to common stockholders.
