CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2021--Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR) (“Ventas” or the “Company”) today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

“Our strong, diverse and high-quality portfolio delivered better than expected financial results in the first quarter, driven by outperformance in our Senior Housing Operating Portfolio (“SHOP”) and the reliable performance of our Office and Triple-Net (“NNN”) businesses,” said Debra A. Cafaro, Ventas Chairman and CEO.

“Most importantly, led by a 280 basis point increase in our U.S. communities, occupancy in SHOP improved by 190 basis points from pandemic lows in mid-March through the end of April. We have experienced dramatic benefits in resident health and safety from the broad and effective roll out of vaccines earlier in the first quarter. With leads continuing to gain traction, and all our communities open to new move-ins, March and April were the first two consecutive months since the onset of COVID-19 when move-ins exceeded both pre-pandemic levels and move-outs. This improvement, while still in its early stages, demonstrates resilient demographic demand for senior housing and the essential care and socialization available to residents in our communities. These factors provide the basis for the powerful upside that lies ahead in senior housing and for Ventas as an industry leader.

“We are optimistic about our ongoing initiatives to recycle capital to further enhance the quality of our portfolio, fund new investment opportunities and maintain financial strength and flexibility. The emerging momentum in SHOP, combined with our high-quality portfolio, leading operators and partners and experienced leadership, position Ventas to win the recovery,” Cafaro concluded.

SHOP Latest Trends and First Quarter Sequential Same-Store Results (26% of Total Portfolio)

• SHOP Latest Trends
  • Leading Indicators: Leading indicators and demand showed strength, with consistently improving trends through the end of April.
    
    
    • In April, leads, move-ins and move-outs were 104%, 110%, and 83%, respectively, of their pre-COVID-19 same period 2019 levels.
    • Move-ins during April totaled 1,880 residents, the highest number since June 2019.
      
      
  • Occupancy: Led by U.S. SHOP communities, which gained 280 basis points, approximate spot occupancy for the full SHOP first quarter sequential same-store portfolio at April 30 grew 190 basis points from the pandemic low in mid-March 2021 to 77.9%. Approximate spot month-end to month-end occupancy results are below:
    
    

    	Oct-20	Nov-20	Dec-20	Jan-21	Feb-21	Mar-21	Apr-21
    Approximate Spot Occupancy	79.8%	79.0%	78.0%	76.9%	76.6%	77.2%	77.9%
    Sequential Spot Occupancy Change	--	(80bps)	(100bps)	(110bps)	(30bps)	60bps	70bps

    • March and April showed positive spot occupancy gains, led by U.S. communities, which gained 80 and 120 basis points, respectively, driving the first two consecutive months of spot occupancy growth since the start of the pandemic.
    • March to April month-end approximate spot occupancy in the Company’s Canadian SHOP communities declined 30 basis points to 91.4% due to the continued prevalence of COVID-19 activity and regulatory protective measures currently in place in the most populous provinces.
      
      
  • Clinical Trends: Ventas has experienced a dramatic improvement in clinical conditions, from the most challenging period of the pandemic, which occurred early in the first quarter:
    
    
    • April was the best clinical month since the onset of the pandemic, with newly confirmed cases approximating one per day per 40,000 residents.
    • Over 97% of our communities either never had a confirmed COVID-19 resident case or have not experienced a confirmed COVID-19 resident case during the two weeks ended April 30.
    • 100% of our SHOP communities are open to new move-ins, and the vast majority have introduced expanded visitation and community activities to enhance resident lifestyle and promote safe socialization.
      
      
• SHOP Sequential Same-Store Results: First Quarter 2021 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2020
  
  
  • Occupancy: Average occupancy in the first quarter of 76.5% declined sequentially by 260 basis points from the fourth quarter, substantially better than the midpoint of the previously communicated expectation of down 250 to 325 basis points. Net move-in trends improved in February and March, following significant occupancy declines earlier in the quarter as a result of challenging COVID-19 conditions across the nation in December and January.
  • NOI: Sequential same-store pool (424 assets) cash NOI decreased by 8% excluding the HHS Grants in both periods. Including the HHS Grants in both periods, sequential same-store cash NOI decreased by 21.4%. Operating expenses increased $18 million sequentially. Excluding the HHS Grants, operating expenses decreased $4 million sequentially due to lower COVID-19 costs driven by late quarter improving clinical trends.

Company, Office and NNN Sequential Same-Store Property Results: First Quarter 2021 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2020

• Company Results
  • Company sequential same-store first quarter 2021 cash NOI declined 7.3%. Company sequential same-store cash NOI declined 2.2% excluding the impact of $34 million of HHS Grants in the fourth quarter 2020 and $13 million of HHS Grants in the first quarter 2021.
• NNN Portfolio (37% of Total Portfolio)
  • NNN sequential same-store (357 assets) cash NOI was largely stable in the first quarter 2021. Substantially all expected first quarter and April 2021 rent was received from the Company’s NNN tenants.
• Office Portfolio (32% of Total Portfolio)
  • Office sequential same-store pool (352 assets) cash NOI grew modestly by 0.8%. Steady performance was led by the Company’s Medical Office Building business. The Company received over 99% of first quarter 2021 rent from its Office tenants, a level consistent with reliable rent payments made by the Company’s tenants throughout the pandemic.

Select Investment Activity

• In March, the Company expanded its life science portfolio with its investment in two life science assets strategically located adjacent to Johns Hopkins Medical Campus for $272 million.
  • The Class A portfolio, containing 454,000 square feet, is 96% leased with a weighted average lease term exceeding seven years. It is anchored by Johns Hopkins Medicine and has 80% excellent credit tenancy.
  • The Baltimore-D.C. market is the fourth ranked life science cluster in the United States.
  • The transaction establishes a relationship with Johns Hopkins Medicine’s leading global academic medicine and research.
• Ventas has extended its successful track record of development with its partner Le Groupe Maurice with a robust pipeline and resilient demand. Two Le Groupe Maurice projects containing 775 units were delivered in the fourth quarter 2020, and reached 87% approximate spot occupancy as of April 30 with substantial leasing momentum. Three additional development projects are underway totaling $290 million in project costs and spanning 900 units, with one of these projects expected to be delivered in 2021.

Leadership and Recognition

• Ventas was named a 2021 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy for the first time. The award recognizes the Company’s energy efficiency achievements across its portfolio.
• The Company was the leading owner of ENERGY STAR® certified Senior Housing communities for the second consecutive year in 2020, earning 70% of the total certifications awarded in the space with 102 certified Senior Housing communities representing nine million square feet.
• These energy initiatives reflect both Ventas capital investment in energy efficiency, such as LED lighting, and the efficient daily operations of our operating partners, which provide the community residents and staff with a more comfortable living and working environment while minimizing environmental impacts.
• The Science Based Targets initiative has confirmed that Ventas’s ambitious new emissions reduction targets are consistent with levels required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Financial Strength & Liquidity

• Ventas’s Net Debt to Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA ratio was 7.1x and Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value was 37% for the first quarter 2021.

The trajectory and future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remain highly uncertain and can change rapidly, although emerging positive SHOP trends in the United States, if sustained, would improve performance over time. The extent of the pandemic’s continuing and ultimate effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on a variety of factors. Accordingly, the Company is providing its expectations only for the quarter ending June 30, 2021.

Driven by growth in SHOP, the Company’s second quarter Normalized FFO guidance midpoint of $0.69 per share represents a modest increase versus the first quarter when excluding the four cents per share of HHS Grants received in first quarter 2021. Key assumptions underlying the second quarter 2021 guidance include, among other things:

• Approximate spot occupancy in the Company’s sequential same-store SHOP business (434 assets) is assumed to increase by 150 to 250 basis points from March 31, 2021 through June 30, 2021. At the midpoint of this range, SHOP sequential same-store NOI and revenue are expected to increase modestly, and expenses are expected to be stable (in each case, excluding the impact of HHS Grants in all periods). Sequentially, customary operating expenses are expected to increase due to increased occupancy, activity levels in the communities and an additional day in the quarter, but COVID-19 costs should decrease.
• No HHS Grants are assumed to be received in Senior Housing in the second quarter.

2021 G&A and Key Capital Activities Expectations

• Ventas expects to recycle capital through approximately $1.0 billion in property dispositions across asset classes in the second half of 2021. These actions will further enhance the Company’s portfolio quality, augment financial strength and flexibility and fund new investments, including capital expenditures of $0.5 billion, principally in the Office segment and with Le Groupe Maurice.
• The Company continues to expect full year 2021 general and administrative expenses to range from approximately $135 million to $140 million.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors deem presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For that reason, the Company considers FFO, normalized FFO, FAD and normalized FAD to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance of an equity REIT. In particular, the Company believes that normalized FFO is useful because it allows investors, analysts and Company management to compare the Company’s operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by non-recurring items and other non-operational events such as transactions and litigation. In some cases, the Company provides information about identified non-cash components of FFO and normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and Company management to assess the impact of those items on the Company’s financial results.

The Company uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) definition of FFO. Nareit defines FFO as net income attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate property, including gains or losses on re-measurement of equity method investments, and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and entities. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and entities will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company defines normalized FFO as FFO excluding the following income and expense items (which may be recurring in nature): (a) merger-related costs and expenses, including amortization of intangibles, transition and integration expenses, and deal costs and expenses, including expenses and recoveries relating to acquisition lawsuits; (b) the impact of any expenses related to asset impairment and valuation allowances, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, or additional costs, expenses, discounts, make-whole payments, penalties or premiums incurred as a result of early retirement or payment of the Company’s debt; (c) the non-cash effect of income tax benefits or expenses, the non-cash impact of changes to the Company’s executive equity compensation plan, derivative transactions that have non-cash mark to market impacts on the Company’s income statement and non-cash charges related to leases; (d) the financial impact of contingent consideration, severance-related costs and charitable donations made to the Ventas Charitable Foundation; (e) gains and losses for non-operational foreign currency hedge agreements and changes in the fair value of financial instruments; (f) gains and losses on non-real estate dispositions and other unusual items related to unconsolidated entities; (g) expenses related to the re-audit and re-review in 2014 of the Company’s historical financial statements and related matters; (h) net expenses or recoveries related to natural disasters and (i) any other incremental items set forth in the normalized FFO reconciliation included herein.

Normalized FAD represents normalized FFO excluding non-cash components and straight-line rent adjustments, deducting FAD Capital Expenditures plus cash received related to lease terminations and modifications. FAD Capital Expenditures are (i) Ventas-invested capital expenditures, whether routine or non-routine, that extend the useful life of a property but are not expected to generate incremental income for the Company (ii) Office Building and Triple-Net leasing commissions paid to third-party agents and (iii) capital expenditures for second-generation tenant improvements. It excludes (i) costs for a first generation lease (e.g., a development project) or related to properties that have undergone redevelopment and (ii) Initial Capital Expenditures, which are defined as capital expenditures required to bring a newly acquired or newly transitioned property up to standard. Initial Capital Expenditures are typically incurred within the first 12 months after acquisition or transition, respectively.

FAD represents normalized FAD after subtracting merger-related expenses, deal costs, re-audit costs and unusual items related to unconsolidated entities.

FFO, normalized FFO, FAD and normalized FAD presented herein may not be comparable to those presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. FFO, normalized FFO, FAD and normalized FAD should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to common stockholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of the Company’s financial performance or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of the Company’s liquidity, nor are they necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs. The Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating results of the Company, FFO, normalized FFO, FAD and normalized FAD should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to common stockholders as presented elsewhere herein.

The table above illustrates net debt to adjusted pro forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash stock-based compensation expense, asset impairment and valuation allowances), excluding gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, partners’ share of EBITDA of consolidated entities, merger-related expenses and deal costs, expenses related to the re-audit and re-review in 2014 of the Company’s historical financial statements, net gains or losses on real estate activity, gains or losses on re-measurement of equity interest upon acquisition, changes in the fair value of financial instruments, unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, net expenses or recoveries related to natural disasters and non-cash charges related to leases, and including (a) Ventas’ share of EBITDA from unconsolidated entities and (b) other immaterial or identified items (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

The information above considers the pro forma effect on Adjusted EBITDA of the Company’s activity during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as if the transactions had been consummated as of the beginning of the period (“Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA”) and considers any other incremental items set forth in the Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA reconciliation included herein.

The Company believes that net debt, Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA and net debt to Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA are useful to investors, analysts and Company management because they allow the comparison of the Company’s credit strength between periods and to other real estate companies without the effect of items that by their nature are not comparable from period to period.

The Company considers NOI and same-store cash NOI as important supplemental measures because they allow investors, analysts and the Company’s management to assess its unlevered property-level operating results and to compare its operating results with those of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis. The Company defines NOI as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and office building services costs. In the case of NOI, cash receipts may differ due to straight-line recognition of certain rental income and the application of other GAAP policies. The Company defines same-store as properties owned, consolidated and operational for the full period in both comparison periods and are not otherwise excluded; provided, however, that the Company may include selected properties that otherwise meet the same-store criteria if they are included in substantially all of, but not a full, period for one or both of the comparison periods, and in the Company’s judgment such inclusion provides a more meaningful presentation of its portfolio performance. Newly acquired development properties and recently developed or redeveloped properties in the Company’s Seniors Housing Operating Portfolio (“SHOP”) will be included in same-store once they are stabilized for the full period in both periods presented. These properties are considered stabilized upon the earlier of (a) the achievement of 80% sustained occupancy or (b) 24 months from the date of acquisition or substantial completion of work. Recently developed or redeveloped properties in the Office and Triple-Net Leased Portfolios will be included in same-store once substantial completion of work has occurred for the full period in both periods presented. SHOP and Triple-Net Leased properties that have undergone operator or business model transitions will be included in same-store once operating under consistent operating structures for the full period in both periods presented.

Properties are excluded from same-store if they are: (i) sold, classified as held for sale or properties whose operations were classified as discontinued operations in accordance with GAAP; (ii) impacted by materially disruptive events such as flood or fire; (iii) those properties that are currently undergoing a materially disruptive redevelopment; (iv) for the Office Portfolio, those properties for which management has an intention to institute a redevelopment plan because the properties may require major property-level expenditures to maximize value, increase net operating income, or maintain a market-competitive position and/or achieve property stabilization; or (v) for the SHOP and Triple-Net Leased Portfolios, those properties that are scheduled to undergo operator or business model transitions, or have transitioned operators or business models after the start of the prior comparison period.

To eliminate the impact of exchange rate movements, all portfolio performance-based disclosures assume constant exchange rates across comparable periods, using the following methodology: the current period’s results are shown in actual reported USD, while prior comparison period’s results are adjusted and converted to USD based on the average exchange rate for the current period.
