LTC REPORTS 2016 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

AND ANNOUNCES NEW INVESTMENTS

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CALIFORNIA, November 2, 2016 — 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, 2016 and recent investment activity.

Net income available to common stockholders was $22.3 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the 2016 third quarter, compared with $18.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the same period in 2015. Funds from Operations (“FFO”) increased 13.9% to $29.7 million for the 2016 third quarter, up from $26.1 million for the comparable 2015 period. FFO per diluted common share was $0.76 and $0.72 for the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which represents a 5.6% per share increase. Normalized FFO increased 11.6% to $29.7 million for the 2016 third quarter, up from $26.6 million for the same period in 2015. The increase in net income, FFO and normalized FFO was primarily due to higher revenues from recent acquisitions, mortgage loan originations and completed development projects, partially offset by higher interest expense resulting from the sale of senior unsecured notes and increased utilization of LTC’s line of credit, as well as additional general and administrative expenditures related to increased investment activity.

LTC completed the following transactions during the third quarter of 2016:

·                  Purchased a parcel of land and improvements in Kentucky for $5.4 million and entered into a development commitment to construct a 143-bed skilled nursing center. The commitment totals $24.3 million, including the land and improvements purchase. The property was added to an existing master lease agreement. Rent on the property will commence upon completion of construction at an initial lease rate of 8.5%;

·                  Completed construction of a 66-unit memory care community in California, a 66-unit memory care community in Illinois and an 89-unit combination assisted living and memory care community in South Carolina;

·                  Originated a $1.4 million mezzanine loan, funding $1.2 million at closing, with a commitment to fund an additional $0.2 million. This mezzanine loan has a five-year term and a rate of 15%;

·                  Sold an assisted living community in Florida for $5.1, million resulting in a net gain on sale of $2.0 million;

·                  Sold a school in New Jersey for $3.9 million, resulting in a net loss of $0.2 million;

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.
