LTC REPORTS 2015 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

AND ANNOUNCES NEW INVESTMENTS

—New Acquisitions and Commitments totaling $74.3 Million further Diversify Real Estate Portfolio—

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CALIFORNIA, November 2, 2015 — 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2015 and recent investment activity.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) increased 15.8 % to $26.1 million for the 2015 third quarter, up from $22.5 million for the comparable 2014 period. FFO per diluted common share was $0.72 and $0.64 for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which represents a 12.5% per share increase. Normalized FFO increased 18.2% to $26.6 million for the 2015 third quarter, which excludes acquisition costs of $0.5 million related to a $142.0 million acquisition discussed below. Normalized FFO in the 2014 third quarter was $22.5 million. Normalized FFO per diluted common share increased 14.1% to $0.73 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 up from $0.64 in the same period in the prior year. Net income available to common stockholders was $18.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the 2015 third quarter, compared with $16.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the same period in 2014. The increase in FFO, normalized FFO and net income was primarily due to higher revenues from recent acquisitions, completed developments, mortgage loan originations and income from an unconsolidated joint venture, partially offset by higher interest expense resulting from the sale of senior unsecured notes and increased utilization of LTC’s unsecured line of credit, as well as additional general and administrative expenditures related to increased investment activity and vesting of restricted stock.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, LTC completed the previously announced acquisition of a 10-property portfolio providing independent, assisted living and memory care services totaling 891 units. Nine of the properties are located in Wisconsin and one is located in Illinois. The aggregate purchase price paid at closing was $142.0 million. Simultaneously upon closing, LTC entered into a 15-year triple-net master lease agreement with an affiliate of Senior Lifestyle Corporation at an initial lease rate of 6.5%, escalating by 25 basis points upon each of the first and second anniversaries and annually thereafter by 2.75%. LTC provided the lessee a contingent earn-out payment up to $10.0 million upon the portfolio achieving a sustainable stipulated rent coverage ratio. When the contingent payments are funded, cash rent will increase by the amount funded multiplied by a rate stipulated in the agreement.

Additionally, LTC acquired a newly constructed 60-unit memory care property located in Florida for $14.3 million including a $2.0 million working capital reserve. Concurrently with the purchase, LTC entered into a 15-year triple-net lease agreement, with an affiliate of Clarity Pointe, at an initial lease rate of 8% escalating annually by 2.5%, and provided the lessee a $0.3 million contingent earn-out payment upon the property achieving a sustainable stipulated rent coverage ratio. When the working capital reserve and contingent earn-out payments are funded, cash rent will increase by the amounts funded multiplied by the lease rate in effect at the time.

Also, during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, LTC purchased a parcel of land in California for $2.0 million and entered into a development commitment to construct and equip a 66-unit memory care property for a total commitment of $12.6 million including the purchase of land. Simultaneously with the acquisition, the property was added to existing master lease agreement with an affiliate of Anthem Memory Care, and rent on the property will commence upon completion of construction at an initial lease rate of 9.00% escalating annually by 2.5%.

As previously announced, LTC sold $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.5% senior unsecured notes due August 31, 2030 to affiliates, subsidiaries or managed accounts of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. during the three months ended September 30, 2015. Also, LTC entered into a shelf agreement with another insurance company which provides for the possible issuance of up to an additional $100.0 million of senior unsecured fixed interest rate term notes with a coupon of 4.26%.

“LTC’s long-term strategy of opportunistic investment in a wide range of properties, geographies and operators has served the company well, as demonstrated by our third quarter results. Our investment activities continued subsequent to the end of the quarter, as we completed three transactions that we are confident will further our long-term growth,” said Wendy Simpson, LTC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The acquisition of a 10-property, private-pay portfolio providing independent, assisted living and memory care services in Wisconsin and Illinois, a newly constructed memory care property in Florida, and a land parcel in California on which a memory care property will be built, speaks to LTC’s ability to successfully invest in and diversify its portfolio while strengthening relationships with key operating partners. With more than $386.5 million in investments and development commitments entered into year-to-date and an active pipeline, we are well positioned to achieve additional growth into the future.”

Subsequent to September 30, 2015, the company took the following actions and completed the following transactions:

Rent on the property will commence upon completion of construction at an initial lease rate of 9.0% escalating annually by 2.5%.

Supplemental Reporting Measures

FFO, adjusted FFO (“AFFO”), 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, AFFO and FAD as supplemental measures of operating performance. The Company believes FFO, AFFO 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, AFFO and FAD facilitate like comparisons of operating performance between periods. Additionally the Company believes that normalized FFO, normalized AFFO and normalized FAD provide useful information because they 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. Normalized FFO represents FFO adjusted for certain items detailed in the reconciliations. 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 AFFO as FFO excluding the effects of straight-line rent, amortization of lease inducement, effective interest income and deferred income from unconsolidated joint ventures. 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.  By excluding the non-cash portion of rental income, interest income from mortgage loans and income from unconsolidated joint ventures, investors, analysts and our management can compare AFFO between periods. Normalized AFFO represents AFFO adjusted for certain items detailed in the reconciliations.

We define FAD as AFFO excluding the effects of non-cash compensation charges, capitalized interest and non-cash interest charges. 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. Normalized FAD represents FAD adjusted for certain items detailed in the reconciliations.

While the Company uses FFO, Normalized FFO, AFFO, Normalized AFFO, FAD and Normalized 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.
