FFO, FFO as adjusted and FAD are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful in evaluating the operating performance of real estate investment trusts. See the “Funds From Operations” and “Funds Available for Distribution” sections of this release for additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.

HCR MANORCARE UPDATE

The post-acute/skilled nursing (“SNF”) industry and HCRMC continued to experience a challenging operating environment in 2015, due to the ongoing change in reimbursement models which reduces rates and lowers census, the result of shorter lengths of stay. While HCRMC’s operating performance was essentially in-line with expectations during the first half of 2015, performance declined during the second half of 2015. HCRMC’s normalized Fixed Charge Coverage (“FCC”) for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2015 was 1.07x, trending from 1.17x for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, to 0.97x for the six-month period ended December 31, 2015. The decline in operating performance began in the third quarter 2015, with further deterioration in the fourth quarter 2015.

For the fourth quarter 2015, HCRMC reported normalized EBITDAR of $110 million, which decreased $36 million on a year-over-year basis compared to the fourth quarter 2014, and decreased $17 million sequentially compared to the third quarter 2015. The results were impacted by core operating performance weakness and unfavorable non-routine items discussed below. The level of performance was below expectations and uncharacteristic for the fourth quarter, which has historically been strong due in large part to increased census and the annual Medicare rate increases on October 1.

HCRMC ended 2015 with $125 million of cash and cash equivalents and continues to be current on its obligations under the amended master lease (the “Master Lease”).

CORE OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Before the impact from non-routine items described below, HCRMC’s fourth quarter EBITDAR was below its forecast, primarily due to the continued change in payor mix from traditional Medicare to Managed Care plans, which reduced reimbursement rates and lowered census. As a result, HCRMC reported a decline in its core SNF operating metrics (which excludes the 50 non-strategic disposition assets), with fourth quarter census decreasing 175 basis points from the prior year to 82.6%.

NON-ROUTINE ITEMS

As previously disclosed, HCRMC is in the process of exiting 50 non-strategic assets, of which 21 sales were completed in the fourth quarter and an additional 11 closed in the first quarter 2016. As such, disruption resulting from transitioning operations to new owners and closing costs led to additional underperformance from this pool of assets. EBITDAR losses from the sale of non-strategic assets totaled $11 million in the fourth quarter 2015, and $22 million for full year 2015. HCP continues to expect total proceeds of $350 million from the sales of the non-strategic assets, of which $280 million have closed to-date with the remaining $70 million expected to close in mid-2016.

In addition, HCRMC continues to defend against the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) civil complaint previously disclosed in April 2015. HCRMC incurred legal and regulatory defense costs of $3 million during the fourth quarter 2015 and $9 million for the full year 2015. The outcome of the DOJ civil complaint remains uncertain, and HCRMC expects to incur additional legal and regulatory defense costs in 2016.

HCRMC 2016 FORECAST

HCRMC’s 2016 forecast anticipates their normalized EBITDAR at $577 million before the temporary impact from the pending asset sales and legal and regulatory defense costs, which adjusted for the impact of these items is estimated to be $555 million. Furthermore, HCP reviewed sensitivities regarding certain key assumptions in HCRMC’s forecast, which primarily affected census, to arrive at a potential range of projected outcomes for HCRMC’s 2016 EBITDAR. HCP’s forecast of HCRMC’s 2016 EBITDAR ranges from $505 million to $555 million, resulting in a 2016 FCC range of 1.06x to 1.16x. HCP’s estimated FCC range reflects the contractual rent under the Master Lease, including the 3.0% increase in April, and interest payments in 2016. HCP’s sensitivities of HCRMC’s 2016 performance reflect:

·                  reduced growth outlook facing the broader post-acute/SNF industry and HCRMC, from the challenge associated with the continued reduction in revenue per admission related to the shift of patients from traditional fee-for-service to managed care and shorter length of patient stays; and

·                  HCRMC’s performance deterioration in the fourth quarter 2015 (described above), resulting in a lower starting point in January 2016.

Page 3 of 16

HCP has engaged advisors and continues to work closely with HCRMC to jointly explore all opportunities that reduce our concentration, improve the credit quality and coverage of our Master Lease, and ensure HCRMC can continue to deliver high quality care and services.

ACCOUNTING UPDATE FOR HCRMC PORTFOLIO AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGE

As a result of HCRMC’s fourth quarter performance deterioration and the related decline in its FCC, we placed our real estate portfolio operated by HCRMC on “Watch List” status at year end 2015, and changed our accounting treatment to recognize rental income on a cash basis beginning January 2016. As such, we will no longer recognize non-cash accretion income under the HCRMC DFLs, as reflected in our full year 2016 earnings and FFO guidance provided herein.

The reduced growth outlook for the broader post-acute/SNF industry indicates challenges to the improvement in HCRMC’s financial performance over the next few years. At year end 2015, we assessed the value of our HCRMC real estate portfolio, including obtaining a third-party, independent valuation appraisal of our HCRMC post-acute/SNF and senior housing portfolio. We reduced the carrying value of our HCRMC DFL investments to $5.2 billion, which approximates its estimated market value at year end 2015, which resulted in an impairment charge of $817 million recorded in the fourth quarter 2015. We also recorded a fourth quarter impairment charge of $19 million related to our 9% equity investment in HCRMC OpCo.

FOURTH QUARTER 2015 HIGHLIGHTS

CAPITAL RECYCLING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

During the fourth quarter, we generated $1.1 billion from capital recycling and financing activities, led by the following:

·                  We completed sales of 21 HCRMC non-strategic assets for $208 million.

·                  In December, we sold a portfolio of 61 MOBs and three hospitals owned by HCP Ventures III and IV for $634 million, generating net proceeds to HCP of $45 million after debt repayments. Formed in 2006 and 2007, respectively, HCP Ventures III and IV invested in an MOB portfolio split evenly between on- and off-campus buildings.

·                  As previously disclosed, we raised $110 million from creating a new institutional joint venture with Morgan Stanley on our Memorial Hermann on-campus portfolio in Houston, TX.

·                  In December, we issued $600 million of 4.0% senior unsecured notes due 2022. The notes were priced at 99.577% of the principal amount with a yield-to-maturity of 4.07%. Proceeds were used to repay our $500 million 3.75% senior unsecured notes due this month and to fund our investments.

Proceeds from capital recycling and other financing activities were primarily used to pay down our revolving line of credit, which was drawn to fund our 2015 investments.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

We completed $208 million of investment transactions during the fourth quarter, bringing our full year 2015 total investments to $2.1 billion, including:

·                  $83 million acquisition of Edgewater Science and Technology Park, a six-building life science portfolio representing 170,000 sq. ft. Strategically located in South San Francisco, CA, the multi-tenant campus was recently renovated and is currently 100% occupied; and

·                  $57 million expansion (HCP’s pro rata share) of our relationship with Brookdale and MBK Senior Living, by acquiring four senior housing communities valued at $103 million in aggregate.

LIFE SCIENCE AND MEDICAL OFFICE LEASING

During the fourth quarter, we completed 911,000 sq. ft. of leasing in our life science and medical office portfolios, consisting of 619,000 sq. ft. of renewals and 292,000 sq. ft. of new leases, which increased our full year 2015 leasing activity to 3.2 million sq. ft. Significant leasing transactions included:

·                  10-year lease with CytomX Therapeutics, Inc., an oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company, for 76,000 sq. ft. at The Cove Phase I development in South San Francisco, CA, scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter 2016;

·                  7-year renewal and expansion for 41,000 sq. ft. in San Diego, CA for a life science tenant; and

·                  Two renewals averaging 9.5 years for 50,000 sq. ft. at MOBs in Kentucky and Indiana.

In January, we executed a 5-year life science tenant renewal for 66,000 sq. ft. in Mountain View, CA.

We have pre-leased approximately 50% of The Cove Phase I, which consists of two buildings totaling up to 250,000 sq. ft., expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2016. In response to Phase I leasing success and continued strong demand from life science users in South San Francisco, we recently commenced the $185 million development The Cove Phase II, which adds two Class A buildings totaling up to 230,000 sq. ft. expected to be delivered by the third quarter of 2017. Visit our website for more information, including a link to see the development progress at www.hcpi.com/portfolio/life-science.

At December 31, 2015, our life science occupancy achieved its sixth consecutive quarterly all-time high at 98.2%, representing an increase of 300 basis points over prior year. Our medical office occupancy was 91.9%, representing an increase of 110 basis points over prior year.

DIVIDEND ARISTOCRAT

On January 28, 2016, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.575 per common share. The dividend will be paid on February 23, 2016 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 8, 2016. HCP has increased its dividend for 31 consecutive years and is the first REIT included in the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index.

FULL YEAR 2016 OUTLOOK

Estimates of FFO and EPS reflect recognizing income from our HCRMC investments on a cash basis beginning January 2016. The impact of removing non-cash HCRMC income to our FFO run-rate is approximately $150 million, or $0.32 per share (no impact to FAD or SPP Cash NOI).

For full year 2016, we expect: FFO per share to range between $2.74 and $2.80; FAD per share to range between $2.62 and $2.68; and EPS to range between $1.49 and $1.55. In addition, we expect 2016 SPP Cash NOI to increase between 1.5% and 2.5%. Excluding HCRMC, we expect 2016 SPP Cash NOI to increase between 2.3% and 3.3%. These estimates do not reflect the potential impact from unannounced future transactions. Refer to the “Projected Future Operations” and “Projected SPP Cash NOI” sections of this release for additional information regarding these estimates.

Funds From Operations(1)

In thousands, except per share data

(Unaudited)

(1)          We believe Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is an important supplemental measure 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 developed by the REIT industry to address this issue. FFO as defined by the NAREIT is net income (loss) applicable to common shares (computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or “GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairments of, or related to, depreciable real estate, plus real estate and other depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for joint ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. 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 with the current NAREIT definition; however, other REITs may report FFO differently or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from ours. FFO as adjusted represents FFO before the impact of severance-related charges, impairments (recoveries) of non-depreciable assets, foreign currency remeasurement losses (gains) and transaction-related items (defined below). Transaction-related items include acquisition and pursuit costs (e.g., due diligence and closing) 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. This measure is a modification of the NAREIT definition of FFO and should not be used as an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) or NAREIT FFO.

(2)          For the three months ended December 31, 2015, other depreciation and amortization includes: (i) $3 million of DFL depreciation and (ii) $2 million of lease incentive amortization (reduction of straight-line rents) for the consideration given to terminate the 30 purchase options of the 153-property amended lease portfolio in the 2014 Brookdale Transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2015, other depreciation and amortization includes: (i) $13 million of DFL depreciation and (ii) $9 million of lease incentive amortization (reduction of straight-line rents) related to the 2014 Brookdale Transaction.

(3)          For the three months ended December 31, 2015, other impairments, net include impairment charges of: (i) $817 million related to our HCRMC DFL investments and (ii) $19 million related to our equity investment in HCRMC, partially offset by impairment recovery of $6 million related to a loan payoff in our hospital segment. For the year ended December 31, 2015, other impairments, net include: (i) $1.3 billion related to our HCRMC DFL investments, (ii) $112 million related to our Four Seasons unsecured notes, (iii) $46 million related to our equity investment in HCRMC, partially offset by (iv) impairment recovery of $6 million related to a loan payoff in our hospital segment. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2014, other impairment relates to our equity investment in HCRMC. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(4)          2014 transaction-related items primarily relate to the Brookdale Transaction that closed in August 2014. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” section of the Management Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Funds Available for Distribution(1)

In thousands, except per share data

(Unaudited)

(1)          Funds Available for Distribution (“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) accretion 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 is: (i) 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. 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. FAD does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP.

(2)          For the year ended December 31, 2015, excludes $3 million related to the acceleration of deferred compensation for restricted stock units and stock options that vested upon the resignation of our former Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, which is included in the severance-related charge for the year ended December 31, 2015.

(3)          For the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, DFL accretion reflects an elimination of $14 million and $58 million, respectively. Our equity investment in HCRMC is accounted for using the equity method, which requires an ongoing elimination of DFL income that is proportional to our ownership in HCRMC. Further, our share of earnings from HCRMC (equity income) increases for the corresponding elimination of related lease expense recognized at the HCRMC entity level, which we present as a non-cash joint venture FAD adjustment.

(4)          Over a period of three years from the closing of the 2014 Brookdale Transaction, we will receive installment payments valued at $55 million for terminating the leases on the HCP owned 49-property portfolio; we include these installment payments in FAD as the payments are collected.

(5)          Represents our 49% share of non-refundable entrance fees included in FAD as the fees are collected by our CCRC JV.
