NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Ventas, Inc., (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated or except where the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Ventas,” “Company” and other similar terms) is an S&P 500 company focused on delivering strong, sustainable shareholder returns by enabling exceptional environments that benefit a large and growing aging population. We hold a portfolio that includes senior housing communities, outpatient medical buildings, research centers, hospitals and healthcare facilities located in North America and the United Kingdom. As of September 30, 2026, we owned or had investments in 1,491 properties consisting of 1,454 properties in our reportable segments (“Segment Properties”) and 37 properties held by unconsolidated real estate entities in our non-segment operations. We are headquartered in Chicago, Illinois with additional corporate offices in Louisville, Kentucky and New York, New York.
We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1999. Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally are not required to pay U.S. federal corporate income taxes on our REIT taxable income that is currently distributed to our stockholders. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must satisfy a number of technical requirements, which impact how we invest in, operate and manage our assets.
In July 2026, we completed an internal corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”) into a holding company structure commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”). As part of the Reorganization, Ventas OP LLC (the “Operating Company”) became the sole direct subsidiary of Ventas, Inc. and all other subsidiaries previously held directly by Ventas, Inc. became indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Ventas, Inc. As a result, we now own substantially all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Company. The day-to-day management of our business remains exclusively controlled by Ventas, Inc. and the completion of the Reorganization did not result in any changes to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or how we operate our business through our reportable segments. Accordingly, the Reorganization did not impact our current and historical financial statements.
In connection with the Reorganization, Ventas Realty, Limited Partnership (“VRLP”) was recapitalized as reflected in the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of VRLP (“VRLP Limited Partnership Agreement”). Following the recapitalization, the Operating Company holds all of VRLP’s limited partnership interests and Ventas Inc. remains VRLP’s sole general partner. The foregoing description of the VRLP Limited Partnership Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the VRLP Limited Partnership Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
We operate through three reportable segments: senior housing operating portfolio, which we refer to as “SHOP,” outpatient medical and research portfolio, which we refer to as “OM&R,” and triple-net leased properties, which we refer to as “NNN.” We also hold assets outside of our reportable segments, which we refer to as non-segment assets, and which consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, loans receivable and investments, accounts receivable and investments in unconsolidated entities. Our investments in unconsolidated entities include investments made through our third-party institutional private capital management platform, Ventas Investment Management (“VIM”). Through VIM, we partner with third-party institutional investors to invest in real estate through various joint ventures and other co-investment vehicles where we are the sponsor or general partner, including our open-ended investment vehicle, the Ventas Life Science & Healthcare Real Estate Fund (the “Ventas Fund”). Our investments in unconsolidated entities also includes investments in operating entities, such as Ardent Health, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Ardent”) and Atria Senior Living, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Atria”).
Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates performance of the combined properties in each operating segment and determines how to allocate resources to these segments based on net operating income (“NOI”) for each segment. See “Note 16 – Segment Information.”

The following table summarizes information for our portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 (dollars in thousands):
Segment | NOI (1) | Percentage of Total NOI | Segment Properties | |||||||||||||||||
Senior housing operating portfolio (SHOP) | $ | % | ||||||||||||||||||

______________________________
(1) Net Operating Income (“NOI”) is defined as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and third-party capital management expenses. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional disclosure and a reconciliation to Net income attributable to common stockholders, as computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), to NOI.
(2) NOI for non-segment includes management fees and promote revenues, net of expenses related to our third-party institutional private capital management platform, income from loans and investments and corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable segments.
n/a—not applicable.
NOTE 2—ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”).
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and the joint venture entities over which we exercise control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation, and our net earnings are reduced by the portion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Recent Accounting Standards
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”), which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (“PBEs”). ASU 2024-03 requires PBEs to include footnote disclosure that disaggregates, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes certain natural expenses relevant to the Company, such as (i) employee compensation, (ii) depreciation and (iii) intangible asset amortization. The tabular disclosure must also include certain other expenses, when applicable. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 3—CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
We use total revenues and total NOI in assessing our concentration of credit risk. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional disclosure and a reconciliation of Net income attributable to common stockholders, as computed in accordance with GAAP, to total NOI.
We are exposed to the credit risk of our tenants in our NNN and OM&R segments because those tenants are obligated to pay us rent and, in certain instances, pay or reimburse us for some or all property-related expenses, including utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, cleaning, roads and grounds expense and other expenses. We also have credit risk exposure with certain tenants to whom we have extended loans. Because we engage independent managers to manage the properties in our SHOP segment in exchange for a management fee, we are not directly exposed to their credit risk in the same manner or to the same extent as the tenants in our NNN and OM&R segments.
10
The following table summarizes certain information about our credit risk concentration related to certain NNN and OM&R tenants, including any loans made to those tenants:

Ardent | % | % | |||||||||||||||||||||
Kindred | |||||||||||||||||||||||
All of the rent and loans due to us from Kindred and substantially all of the rent due to us from Ardent is guaranteed by their respective corporate parents.
Lease Income
Rental income from our NNN and OM&R operating leases consists of fixed and variable lease payments. The variable payments primarily represent (i) amounts that certain tenants pay to reimburse us for property-level operating expenses that we pay on their behalf and (ii) percentage rent, which is a rental charge typically based on certain tenants' gross revenue. Substantially all of the resident fees and services earned from our SHOP segment represent fixed income from operating leases and have not been included in the table below.
In June 2026, we amended the existing leases for all long-term acute care hospital properties leased to Kindred to, among other things, extend the term for all properties to April 30, 2039 at the existing cash base rent and substantially the same cash base rent annual escalation of 2.75 % and include all Kindred-operated properties into one amended master lease (the “Kindred Master Lease”).

NOTE 4—ACQUISITIONS OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTY
We acquire and invest in senior housing, outpatient medical buildings, research centers and other healthcare properties primarily to achieve an expected yield on our investment, to grow and diversify our portfolio and revenue base and to reduce our dependence on any single manager or tenant, geographic location, asset type, business model or revenue source. Each of our acquisitions through September 30, 2026 disclosed below was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
2026 Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we acquired 101 senior housing communities in our SHOP segment for an aggregate purchase price of $3.9 billion.
In October 2026, we acquired 13 senior housing communities in our SHOP segment, for an aggregate purchase price of $803.5 million.

NOTE 5—DISPOSITIONS, ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND IMPAIRMENTS

The impairments were recorded primarily as a component of Depreciation and amortization in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The impairments were primarily attributable to changes in our intent to hold certain assets or decreases in their expected future cash flows.
NOTE 6—LOANS RECEIVABLE AND INVESTMENTS, NET
As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we held $463.0 million and $164.7 million, respectively, of loans receivable and investments, net of allowance, which are comprised of secured loans receivable and investments, net and non-mortgage loans receivable, net and relate to senior housing and healthcare operators or properties. Secured loans receivable and investments, net generally consist of loans that are primarily collateralized by a mortgage, a leasehold mortgage or an assignment or pledge of equity interest in entities that primarily own real estate. Non-mortgage loans receivable, net are generally corporate loans that are collateralized primarily by non-real estate related collateral or are unsecured.

We report investments in unconsolidated entities over whose operating and financial policies we have the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Our investments in unconsolidated entities include investments in both real estate entities and operating entities as described further below. We periodically evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for indicators of an other-than-temporary impairment. No impairments were recognized for our investments in unconsolidated entities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

In June 2026, we entered into an amendment to the Scion Warrants to, among other things, reduce the exercise price of the warrants and extend the warrant term to June 2036. The change in the Scion Warrants value represents partial consideration received in connection with the Kindred Master Lease amendment and the Scion Term Loan. The Scion Warrants were initially measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized within Other expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Credit Facilities, Commercial Paper, Unsecured Term Loans and Letters of Credit
As of September 30, 2026, we had a $3.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility priced at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”) plus 0.775 % which is subject to adjustment based on the Company’s debt ratings. Our unsecured revolving credit facility matures in April 2028, and may be extended at our option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, for two additional six-month periods. The unsecured revolving credit facility includes an accordion feature that permits us to increase our aggregate borrowing capacity thereunder to up to $4.5 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase.
Our unsecured revolving credit facility imposes certain customary restrictions on us, including restrictions pertaining to: (i) liens; (ii) investments; (iii) the incurrence of additional indebtedness; (iv) mergers and dissolutions; (v) certain dividend, distribution and other payments; (vi) permitted businesses; (vii) transactions with affiliates; and (viii) the maintenance of certain consolidated total leverage, secured debt leverage, unsecured debt leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and minimum consolidated adjusted net worth, and contains certain other customary terms and conditions.
As of September 30, 2026, our $3.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility had no borrowings outstanding and $0.8 million restricted to support outstanding letters of credit. We use our unsecured revolving credit facility to support our commercial paper program and for general corporate purposes.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, VRLP, may issue from time to time unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $2.5 billion, which was increased from $2.0 billion in May 2026. The notes are sold under customary terms in the U.S. commercial paper note market and are ranked pari passu with VRLP’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ventas. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $17.0 million and no borrowings, respectively, outstanding under our commercial paper program.
As of September 30, 2026, VRLP had an unsecured term loan in aggregate principal of $1.25 billion. The term loan is priced at SOFR plus 0.85 %, which is subject to adjustment based on VRLP’s debt ratings. This term loan is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ventas and subject to certain customary covenants and other terms and conditions. It is scheduled to mature in January 2031 and includes an accordion feature that permits VRLP to increase the aggregate borrowings thereunder to up to $1.75 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase.
As of September 30, 2026, we had a $100.0 million uncommitted line for standby letters of credit, which had an outstanding balance of $28.1 million. The agreement governing the line contains certain customary covenants and other terms and conditions. Under its terms, we are required to pay a fixed rate commission on each outstanding letter of credit.
Exchangeable Senior Notes
In June 2023, VRLP issued $862.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.75 % Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Exchangeable Notes”) in a private placement. The Exchangeable Notes were senior, unsecured obligations of VRLP and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by Ventas. The Exchangeable Notes bore interest at a rate of 3.75 % per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2023. The Exchangeable Notes matured in June 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we settled the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes with $862.5 million in cash and the conversion premium by issuing 6.0 million shares of Ventas common stock.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized zero and $13.2 million, respectively, of contractual interest expense and amortization of issuance costs of zero and $3.1 million, respectively, related to the Exchangeable Notes.
18
Senior Notes
In January 2026, we repaid $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125 % Senior Notes due 2026.
In October 2026, we repaid upon maturity $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25 % Senior Notes due 2026.
Mortgages
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we used the proceeds from new mortgage loans with a total principal amount of $130.7 million with maturities ranging from September 2031 to October 2036 to refinance existing mortgage loans with a principal balance of $121.2 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we used the proceeds from new mortgage loans with a total principal amount of $198.1 million with maturities ranging from February 2031 to October 2036 to refinance existing mortgage loans with a principal balance of $185.0 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we incurred $333.7 million of mortgage loans with maturities ranging from August 2029 to May 2031 in connection with certain of our senior housing acquisitions.
Scheduled Maturities of Borrowing Arrangements and Other Provisions

(1) Commercial paper notes are backstopped by the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. As such, the Company uses the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility to determine the remaining term of the commercial paper notes.
The instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness contain covenants that limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur debt and certain liens; (ii) make certain dividends, distributions and investments; (iii) enter into certain transactions; and/or (iv) merge, consolidate or sell certain assets. Our credit facilities do, and certain of our other indebtedness may, require us to maintain certain financial covenants pertaining to, among other things, our consolidated total leverage, secured debt, unsecured debt, fixed charge coverage and net worth.
Derivatives and Hedging
In the normal course of our business, interest rate fluctuations affect future cash flows under our variable rate debt obligations, loans receivable and marketable debt securities, and foreign currency exchange rate
19
fluctuations affect our operating results. We follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivative instruments, to mitigate the impact of these risks.
We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes, and we have a policy of entering into contracts only with major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. When considered together with the underlying exposure that the derivative is designed to hedge, we do not expect that the use of derivatives in this manner would have any material adverse effect on our future financial condition or results of operations.
We enter into interest rate swaps in order to maintain a capital structure containing targeted amounts of fixed and variable-rate debt and manage interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for our fixed-rate payments. These interest rate swap agreements are used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.
Periodically, we enter into interest rate derivatives, such as treasury locks, to partially hedge the risk of changes in interest payments attributable to increases in the benchmark interest rate during the period leading up to the probable issuance of fixed-rate debt. We designate our interest rate locks as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses when we settle our interest rate locks are amortized over the life of the related debt and recorded in Interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
As of September 30, 2026, our variable rate debt obligations of $1.6 billion reflect, in part, the effect of $74.4 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities in March 2027, that effectively convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. These interest rate swaps were not designated for hedge accounting.
As of September 30, 2026, our fixed rate debt obligations of $10.9 billion reflect, in part, the effect of $124.8 million and C$583.6 million ($410.2 million) notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities ranging from June 2027 to April 2031, that effectively convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges.
2026 Activity
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of realized losses primarily relating to our interest rate swaps and treasury locks were reclassified into Interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Approximately $2.8 million of unrealized gains, which are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2026, are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
NOTE 11—FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Overview
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
•Level 1: Fair value calculated based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access.
•Level 2: Fair value calculated using inputs other than quoted prices included in level one that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and other inputs for the asset or liability that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves.
•Level 3: Fair value calculated using unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which typically are based on our own assumptions, because there is little, if any, related market activity.
The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we would realize in a current market exchange or transaction.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

(6)Included in Accounts payable and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we would realize in a current market exchange.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Our derivative instrument assets as of September 30, 2026 consist primarily of interest rate swaps and the Scion Warrants. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is based on Level 2 inputs. The Scion Warrants represent a financial interest in a private entity whose fair value is based on Level 3 inputs that reflect significant assumptions including underlying enterprise value, market volatility, duration, dividend rate and risk-free rate. Changes in one or more of these inputs could significantly impact the fair value determination.
Substantially all of our derivative instrument liabilities as of September 30, 2026 consist of interest rate swaps. Their fair value is based on Level 2 inputs.
Other Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Other items measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include assets and liabilities held for sale and real estate assets that are evaluated periodically for impairment (see “Note 5 – Dispositions, Assets Held for Sale and Impairments”). We estimate the fair value of assets held for sale and any associated impairment charges based primarily on current sales price expectations, which reside within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Real estate impairment charges recorded due to our evaluation of recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable are based on company-specific inputs and our assumptions about the marketability of the properties as observable inputs are not available. As
21
such, we have determined that these fair value measurements generally reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We estimate the fair value of real estate deemed to not be recoverable using the cost or income approach and unobservable data such as net operating income and estimated capitalization and discount rates, and giving consideration to local and national industry market data including comparable sales.
NOTE 12—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, investigations, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings arising in connection with our business. In certain circumstances, regardless of whether we are a named party in a lawsuit, investigation, claim or other legal or regulatory proceeding, we may be contractually obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless our managers, tenants and borrowers or other third parties against, or may otherwise be responsible for, such actions, proceedings or claims. These claims may include, among other things, professional liability and general liability claims, commercial liability claims, unfair business practices claims and employment claims, as well as regulatory proceedings and government investigations, including proceedings related to our senior housing operating portfolio, where we are typically the holder of the applicable healthcare license. These claims may not be fully insured and some may allege large damage amounts.
It is the opinion of management, that the disposition of any such lawsuits, investigations, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that are currently pending will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on us. However, regardless of the merits of a particular action, investigation or claim, we may be forced to expend significant financial resources to defend and resolve these matters. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits, investigations, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings, and, if management’s assessment of our liability with respect thereto is incorrect, such actions, investigations and claims could have a material adverse effect on us.
From time to time, on behalf of ourselves or on behalf of our unconsolidated entities, we have agreed, and may in the future agree, to provide guarantees, indemnities or other similar contingent obligations to third parties. Such agreements may include, without limitation: (i) guarantees of all or a portion of the principal, interest and other amounts due under mortgage debt or other borrowings; (ii) customary nonrecourse carve-out guarantees provided in connection with mortgage or other borrowings; (iii) customary indemnifications of lenders for potential environmental liabilities; (iv) completion guarantees provided to lenders, tenants, ground lessors or other third parties for the completion of development and redevelopment projects; (v) guarantees of payment of contingent tax obligations to tax credit investors who have purchased historic, new market and other tax credits from us or our unconsolidated entities; (vi) guarantees of ground rent and other payment of ground rent and other obligations to ground lessors; and (vii) indemnities and other guarantees required in connection with the procurement of performance and surety bonds and standby letters of credit.
As of September 30, 2026, no triggering events relating to our guarantees, indemnities or similar contingent obligations have occurred. Accordingly, no contingent liability is recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
NOTE 13—INCOME TAXES
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for every year beginning with the year ended December 31, 1999. We have also elected for certain of our subsidiaries to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS” or “TRS entities”), which are subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes. All entities other than the TRS entities are collectively referred to as the “REIT” within this note. Certain REIT entities are subject to foreign income tax.
Although the TRS entities and certain other foreign entities have paid minimal federal, state and foreign income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, their income tax liabilities may increase in future periods as we exhaust net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and as our operations grow. Such increases could be significant.
22
Our consolidated provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was a benefit of $19.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Our consolidated provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was a benefit of $60.9 million and $13.0 million, respectively. The income tax benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 are primarily due to the reversal of valuation allowances recorded against the net deferred tax assets of certain of our TRS entities, partially offset by increases in the valuation allowance for certain TRS entities during the period.
Each TRS is a tax paying component for purposes of classifying deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities with respect to our TRS entities totaled $31.8 million and $23.4 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and related primarily to differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of fixed and intangible assets, net of loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets with respect to our TRS entities totaled $2.8 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and related primarily to loss carryforwards.
Generally, we are subject to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the year ended December 31, 2022 and subsequent years and are subject to audit by state taxing authorities for the year ended December 31, 2021 and subsequent years. We are subject to audit generally under the statutes of limitation by the Canada Revenue Agency and provincial authorities with respect to the Canadian entities for the year ended December 31, 2022 and subsequent years. We are subject to audit in the United Kingdom generally for periods ended in and subsequent to 2024.
NOTE 14—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Capital Stock
Equity Forward Sales Agreements
We have established an at-the-market offering program that provides for the sale, from time to time, of shares of our common stock, including through forward sales agreements, as described in more detail below (the "ATM Program"). In May 2026, we amended the existing ATM Program such that the aggregate gross sales price of common stock available for issuance increased from $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion. As of September 30, 2026, the remaining amount available under the ATM Program for future sales of common stock was $1.6 billion.
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we entered into equity forward sales agreements under the ATM Program for 7.8 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $0.7 billion, representing an average price of $90.87 per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we settled 15.9 million shares of common stock under outstanding equity forward sales agreements entered into under the ATM Program for net cash proceeds of $1.4 billion.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we entered into equity forward sales agreements under the ATM Program for 42.5 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $3.7 billion, representing an average price of $86.91 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we settled 47.3 million shares of common stock under outstanding equity forward sales agreements entered into under the ATM Program for net cash proceeds of $3.9 billion.
As of September 30, 2026, we maintained unsettled equity forward sales agreements for 9.1 million shares of common stock, or approximately $0.8 billion in gross proceeds, with varying maturities through April 2028.
23
From time to time, including under the ATM Program, we may enter into equity forward sales agreements. An equity forward sales agreement enables us to secure a share price on the sale of shares of our common stock at or shortly after the time the forward sales agreement becomes effective, while postponing the receipt of proceeds from the sale of shares until a future date. Equity forward sales agreements generally have a maturity of to two years . At any time during the term of an equity forward sales agreement, we may settle that equity forward sales agreement by delivery of physical shares of our common stock to the forward purchaser or, at our election, subject to certain exceptions, we may settle in cash or by net share settlement. The forward sales price we expect to receive upon settlement of outstanding equity forward sales agreements will be the initial forward price, net of commissions, established on or shortly after the effective date of the relevant equity forward sales agreement, subject to adjustments for accrued interest, the forward purchasers’ stock borrowing costs in excess of a certain threshold specified in the equity forward sales agreement and certain fixed price reductions for expected dividends on our common stock during the term of the equity forward sales agreement. Our unsettled equity forward sales agreements are accounted for as equity instruments. Refer to “Note 15 – Earnings Per Share.”

The dilutive effect of our Exchangeable Notes, during the period the principal was outstanding, was calculated using the if-converted method in accordance with ASU 2020-06. We were required, pursuant to the indenture governing the Exchangeable Notes, to settle the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes in cash and were able to elect to settle any remaining exchange obligation (i.e., the stock price in excess of the exchange obligation) in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof. Under the if-converted method, we included the number of shares required to satisfy the exchange obligation, assuming all the Exchangeable Notes are exchanged. All Exchangeable Notes were settled in the six months ended June 30, 2026. Refer to “Note 10 – Senior Notes Payable and Other Debt”. As a result, shares issued upon settlement were included in the calculation of basic weighted shares outstanding beginning on the settlement date. For the period in which the dilutive securities were outstanding, the average closing price of our common stock was used as the basis for determining the dilutive effect on earnings per share.
Our unsettled equity forward sales agreements do not impact basic earnings per share. We apply the treasury stock method to our unsettled equity forward sales agreements to determine their dilutive effect, if any. See “Note 14 – Stockholders' Equity.”

NOTE 16—SEGMENT INFORMATION
As of September 30, 2026, we operated through three reportable segments: SHOP, OM&R and NNN. In our SHOP segment, we own and invest in senior housing communities and engage operators to operate those communities. In our OM&R segment, we primarily acquire, own, develop, lease and manage outpatient medical buildings and research centers. In our NNN segment, we invest in and own senior housing communities, skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”), long-term acute care facilities (“LTACs”), freestanding inpatient rehabilitation facilities (“IRFs”) and other healthcare facilities and lease the properties to tenants under triple-net or absolute-net leases that obligate the tenants to pay all property-related expenses, including maintenance, utilities, repairs, taxes, insurance and capital expenditures. Information provided for “non-segment” includes management fees and promote revenues, net of expenses related to our third-party institutional private capital management platform, income from loans and investments and corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable segments. Non-segment assets consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, loans receivable and investments and accounts receivable. Total assets by reportable segment is not disclosed as the CODM does not review such information to evaluate business performance and allocate resources.
Our CODM is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Our CODM evaluates performance of the combined properties in each operating segment and determines how to allocate resources to these segments, based on NOI for each segment. Our CODM uses NOI to assess the performance of each segment and to allocate resources (including employees and financial or capital resources) primarily during the quarterly or annual business review and annual budget and forecasting process. We define NOI as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and third-party capital management expenses.
Interest expense, depreciation and amortization, general, administrative and professional fees, income tax expense and other non-property-specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual reportable segments for purposes of assessing segment performance. There are no intersegment sales or transfers.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated results from operations and developments and other matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding our and our officers’ intent, belief or expectation as identified by the use of phrases or words such as “assume,” “may,” “will,” “project,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “target,” “forecast,” “plan,” “line-of-sight,” “outlook,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “estimate,” “could,” “would,” “should” and other comparable and derivative terms or the negatives thereof.
Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs as well as on a number of assumptions concerning future events. You should not put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are not a guarantee of performance and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We do not undertake a duty to update these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We urge you to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks and uncertainties that may affect our business and future financial performance, including those made below and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as in the sections titled “Cautionary Statements — Summary Risk Factors” and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K as we file them with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain factors that could affect our future results and our ability to achieve our stated goals include, but are not limited to: (a) our exposure and the exposure of our managers, tenants and borrowers to complex and evolving governmental policy, laws and regulations, including relating to healthcare, data privacy, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, international trade and environmental matters, the impact of such policies, laws and regulations on our and our managers’, tenants’ and borrowers’ business and the challenges and expense associated with complying with such policies, laws and regulations; (b) the impact of market, macroeconomic and general economic conditions on us, our managers, tenants and borrowers and in areas in which our properties are geographically concentrated, including changes in or elevated inflation, interest rates and exchange rates, labor market dynamics and rises in unemployment, tightening of lending standards and reduced availability of credit or capital, events that affect consumer confidence, and the actual and perceived state of the real estate markets and public and private capital markets; (c) our ability, and the ability of our managers, tenants and borrowers, to navigate the trends impacting our or their businesses and the industries in which we or they operate, including their ability to respond to the impact of the U.S. political environment on government funding and reimbursement programs, and the financial condition or business prospect of our managers, tenants and borrowers; (d) our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies from, and effectively integrate, our completed or anticipated acquisitions and investments; (e) our ability to identify and consummate future investments in healthcare assets and effectively manage our portfolio opportunities and our investments in co-investment vehicles, joint ventures and minority interests; (f) the potential for significant general and commercial claims, legal actions, investigations, regulatory proceedings and enforcement actions that could subject us or our managers, tenants or borrowers to increased operating costs, uninsured liabilities, including fines and other penalties, reputational harm or significant operational limitations, including the loss or suspension of or moratoriums on accreditations, licenses or certificates of need, suspension of or nonpayment for new admissions, denial of reimbursement, suspension, decertification or exclusion from federal, state or foreign healthcare programs or the closure of facilities or communities; (g) our reliance on third-party managers and tenants to operate or exert substantial control over properties they manage for, or lease from, us, which limits our control and influence over such properties, their operations and their performance; (h) our reliance
31
and the reliance of our managers, tenants and borrowers on the financial, credit and capital markets and the risk that those markets may be disrupted or become constrained; (i) the risk of bankruptcy, inability to obtain benefits from governmental programs, insolvency or financial deterioration of our managers, tenants, borrowers and other obligors which may, among other things, have an adverse impact on the ability of such parties to make payments or meet their other obligations to us; (j) our dependency on a limited number of managers and tenants for a significant portion of our revenues and operating income; (k) our exposure to various operational risks, liabilities and claims from our operating assets; (l) our exposure to particular risks due to our specific asset classes and operating markets, such as adverse changes affecting our specific asset classes and the healthcare real estate sector, the competitiveness or financial viability of hospitals on or near the campuses where our outpatient medical buildings are located, our relationships with universities, the level of expense and uncertainty of our research tenants, and the limitation of our uses of some properties we own that are subject to ground lease, air rights or other restrictive agreements; (m) our ownership of properties or operation of business outside of the U.S. that may subject us to different or greater risks than those associated with our domestic operations; (n) the risk that our management agreements or leases are not renewed or are renewed on less favorable terms, that our managers or tenants default under those agreements or that we are unable to replace managers or tenants on a timely basis or on favorable terms, if at all; (o) the risk that the borrowers under our loans or other investments default or that, to the extent we are able to foreclose or otherwise acquire the collateral securing our loans or other investments, we will be required to incur additional expense or indebtedness in connection therewith, that the assets will underperform expectations or that we may not be able to subsequently dispose of all or part of such assets on favorable terms; (p) risks related to the recognition of reserves, allowances, credit losses or impairment charges which are inherently uncertain and may increase or decrease in the future and may not represent or reflect the ultimate value of, or loss that we ultimately realize with respect to, the relevant assets; (q) the risk of exposure to unknown liabilities from our investments in properties or businesses; (r) the impact of merger, acquisition and investment activity in the healthcare industry or otherwise affecting our managers, tenants or borrowers; (s) risks related to development, redevelopment and construction projects, including costs associated with inflation, rising or elevated interest rates, labor conditions and supply chain pressures, and risks related to increased construction and development in markets in which our properties are located, including adverse effect on our future occupancy rates;

(z) the risk of catastrophic or extreme weather and other natural events; (aa) our ability to attract and retain talented employees; (bb) our ability to maintain a positive reputation for quality and service with our key stakeholders; (cc) the limitations and significant requirements imposed upon our business as a result of our status as a REIT and the adverse consequences (including the possible loss of our status as a REIT) that would result if we are not able to comply with such requirements; (dd) the ownership limits contained in our certificate of incorporation with respect to our capital stock in order to preserve our qualification as a REIT, which may delay, defer or prevent a change of control of our company; (ee) risks and uncertainties related to the UPREIT Reorganization; and (ff) the other factors set forth in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Note Regarding Third-Party Information
This Quarterly Report includes information that has been derived from SEC filings that have been provided to us by our tenants and managers or been derived from SEC filings or other publicly available information of our tenants and managers. We believe that such information is accurate and that the sources from which it has been obtained are reliable. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of such information and have not independently verified the assumptions on which such information is based.
Company Overview
Ventas, Inc. is an S&P 500 company focused on delivering strong, sustainable shareholder returns by enabling exceptional environments that benefit a large and growing aging population. We hold a portfolio that
32
includes senior housing communities, outpatient medical buildings, research centers, hospitals and healthcare facilities located in North America and the United Kingdom. As of September 30, 2026, we owned or had investments in 1,491 properties consisting of 1,454 properties in our reportable segments (“Segment Properties”) and 37 properties held by unconsolidated real estate entities in our non-segment operations. We are headquartered in Chicago, Illinois with additional corporate offices in Louisville, Kentucky and New York, New York.
We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1999. Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally are not required to pay U.S. federal corporate income taxes on our REIT taxable income that is currently distributed to our stockholders. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must satisfy a number of technical requirements, which impact how we invest in, operate and manage our assets.
We operate through three reportable segments: senior housing operating portfolio, which we refer to as “SHOP,” outpatient medical and research portfolio, which we refer to as “OM&R,” and triple-net leased properties, which we refer to as “NNN.” We also hold assets outside of our reportable segments, which we refer to as non-segment assets, and which consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, loans receivable and investments, accounts receivable and investments in unconsolidated entities. Our investments in unconsolidated entities include investments made through our third-party institutional private capital management platform, Ventas Investment Management (“VIM”). Through VIM, we partner with third-party institutional investors to invest in real estate through various joint ventures and other co-investment vehicles where we are the sponsor or general partner, including our open-ended investment vehicle, the Ventas Life Science & Healthcare Real Estate Fund (the “Ventas Fund”). Our investments in unconsolidated entities also includes investments in operating entities, such as Ardent Health, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Ardent”) and Atria Senior Living, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Atria”).
Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates performance of the combined properties in each operating segment and determines how to allocate resources to these segments based on net operating income (“NOI”) for each segment. See our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes, including “Note 16 – Segment Information,” included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The following table summarizes information for our portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 (dollars in thousands):

(1) Net Operating Income (“NOI”) is defined as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and third-party capital management expenses. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional disclosure and a reconciliation to Net income attributable to common stockholders, as computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), to NOI.
(2) NOI for non-segment includes management fees and promote revenues, net of expenses related to our third-party institutional private capital management platform, income from loans and investments and corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable segments.

Business Strategy
For nearly three decades, Ventas has pursued a strategy focused on delivering outsized value to stockholders and other key stakeholders by enabling exceptional environments that benefit a large and growing aging population. Working with industry-leading care providers, partners and research and medical institutions, our collaborative and experienced team is focused on achieving consistent, superior total returns through: (1) delivering profitable organic growth in senior housing, (2) capturing value-creating external growth focused on senior housing, (3) generating strong cash flow throughout our portfolio of high-quality assets unified in meeting demographic demand and (4) maintaining financial strength, flexibility and liquidity.
Our objective is to generate reliable and growing cash flows from our portfolio, which enables us to pay regular cash dividends to stockholders and creates opportunities to increase stockholder value.
Market Trends
Our operations have historically been and are expected to continue to be impacted by economic and market conditions. We expect senior housing to benefit from strong supply/demand fundamentals, including robust projected demand growth combined with low projected supply growth.
The performance and growth of our business will also depend on the broader macroeconomic environment, including consumer sentiment, interest rates, inflation and GDP growth.
See “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2025 Annual Report for additional discussion of risks affecting our business.

$1.25 billion. In connection with the amendment, VRLP also repaid in full a $200 million unsecured term loan due February 2027. As of September 30, 2026, aggregate principal of $1.25 billion was outstanding.
•In May 2026, we increased the amount that VRLP may issue from time to time under its commercial paper program from a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion. Other than the increase in the program’s maximum capacity, the other terms of the commercial paper program remained unchanged.
Senior Notes
•In January 2026, we repaid $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2026.
•During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we settled the outstanding aggregate principal amount of $862.5 million of the exchangeable notes in cash and the conversion premium by issuing 6.0 million shares of Ventas common stock.
•In October 2026, we repaid upon maturity $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Senior Notes due 2026.
Mortgages
•During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we used the proceeds from new mortgage loans with a total principal amount of $198.1 million with maturities ranging from February 2031 to October 2036 to refinance existing mortgage loans with a principal balance of $185.0 million.
•During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we incurred $333.7 million of mortgage loans with maturities ranging from August 2029 to May 2031 in connection with certain of our senior housing acquisitions.
Equity
•In May 2026, we amended the existing ATM Program such that the aggregate gross sales price of common stock available for issuance increased from $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion.
•During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we entered into equity forward sales agreements under the ATM Program for 7.8 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $0.7 billion, representing an average price of $90.87 per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we settled 15.9 million shares of common stock under outstanding equity forward sales agreements entered into under the ATM Program for net cash proceeds of $1.4 billion.
Other Items
•During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Ventas Fund, an equity method investee, acquired three senior housing communities for an aggregate purchase price of $172.5 million.
•During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Pension Fund Joint Venture, an equity method investee, sold one senior housing community for proceeds of $37.8 million. In October 2026, this entity sold its last remaining senior housing community for aggregate consideration of $142.0 million.
•In June 2026, we amended the existing leases for all long-term acute care hospital properties leased to Kindred to, among other things, extend the term for all properties to April 30, 2039 at the existing cash base rent and substantially the same cash base rent annual escalation of 2.75% and include all Kindred-operated properties into one amended master lease (the “Kindred Master Lease”). Additionally, in connection with a refinancing of Scion intended to streamline its capital structure and reduce its debt balance, we originated a six-year, interest-only senior secured loan to Scion, with an initial principal amount of $300.0 million and an effective interest rate of 10.7% per annum. We also entered into an amendment to our existing Scion Warrants to, among other things, reduce the exercise price and extend the warrant term to 10 years.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and with the SEC instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base these estimates on our experience and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, if our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, we may have applied a different accounting treatment, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. We periodically reevaluate our estimates and assumptions and, in the event they prove to be different from actual results, we make adjustments in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Our 2025 Annual Report contains additional information regarding the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes to these policies in 2026.
Recent Accounting Standards
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”), which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (“PBEs”). ASU 2024-03 requires PBEs to include footnote disclosure that disaggregates, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes certain natural expenses relevant to the Company, such as (i) employee compensation, (ii) depreciation and (iii) intangible asset amortization. The tabular disclosure must also include certain other expenses, when applicable. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Results of Operations
As of September 30, 2026, we operated through three reportable segments: SHOP, OM&R and NNN. In our SHOP segment, we own and invest in senior housing communities and engage operators to operate those communities. In our OM&R segment, we primarily acquire, own, develop, lease and manage outpatient medical buildings and research centers. In our NNN segment, we invest in and own senior housing communities, skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”), long-term acute care facilities (“LTACs”), freestanding inpatient rehabilitation facilities (“IRFs”) and other healthcare facilities and lease the properties to tenants under triple-net or absolute-net leases that obligate the tenants to pay all property-related expenses, including maintenance, utilities, repairs, taxes, insurance and capital expenditures. Information provided for “non-segment” includes management fees and promote revenues, net of expenses related to our third-party institutional private capital management platform, income from loans and investments and corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable segments. Non-segment assets consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, loans receivable and investments and accounts receivable.
Our CODM is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Our CODM evaluates performance of the combined properties in each operating segment and determines how to allocate resources to these segments, based on NOI for each segment. For further information regarding our reportable segments and a discussion of our definition of NOI, see “Note 16 – Segment Information” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional disclosure and reconciliations of Net income attributable to common stockholders, as computed in accordance with GAAP, to NOI.

Resident fees and services include all amounts earned from residents at the senior housing communities in our SHOP segment, such as rental fees related to resident leases, extended healthcare fees and other ancillary service income. Property-level operating expenses related to our SHOP segment include labor, food, utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, marketing, management fees, supplies and other costs of operating the properties. For senior housing communities in our SHOP segment, occupancy generally reflects average operator-reported unit occupancy for the reporting period. Average monthly revenue per occupied room reflects average resident fees and services per operator-reported occupied unit for the reporting period.
The increase in our SHOP segment NOI for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily driven by revenue growth due to an increase in average occupancy, revenue per occupied room, additional properties acquired and conversions of senior housing communities from our NNN segment to our SHOP segment. The revenue increase is partially offset by higher operating expenses in 2026, driven by an increase in the number of communities in our SHOP segment, and increases in occupancy and inflation.
The following table compares results of operations for our 600 Same-Store SHOP communities (dollars in thousands). See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures—NOI” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional disclosure regarding Same-Store NOI for each of our reportable business segments.

NOI—OM&R Segment
The following table summarizes results of operations in our OM&R segment for the three months ended September 30, 2026 (dollars in thousands).

In our NNN segment, our revenues generally consist of fixed rental amounts (subject to contractual escalations) received from our tenants in accordance with the applicable lease terms. We report revenues and property-level operating expenses within our NNN segment for real estate tax and insurance expenses that are paid from escrows collected from our tenants.
The $30.8 million decrease in our NNN segment NOI for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily driven by a $22.7 million decrease in rental income from senior housing communities that converted to our SHOP segment and a prior year $14.6 million net non-cash revenue impact of a change in revenue recognition from cash to straight-line related to a senior housing triple-net tenant.
Occupancy rates may affect the profitability of our tenants’ operations. For senior housing communities and post-acute properties in our NNN segment, occupancy generally reflects average operator-reported unit and bed occupancy, respectively, for the reporting period. Because triple-net occupancy reporting is delivered to us following the reporting period, occupancy is reported in arrears. The following table sets forth average continuing occupancy rates for the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 related to the triple-net leased properties we owned and that were included in our NNN segment at September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The table excludes (i) properties classified as held for sale, (ii) non-stabilized properties, (iii) certain properties for which we do not receive occupancy information and (iv) properties acquired or properties that transitioned operators for which we do not have a full quarter of occupancy results.

40
The decrease in our Same-Store NNN segment rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was attributable primarily due to a prior year $14.6 million net non-cash revenue impact of a change in revenue recognition from cash to straight-line related to a senior housing triple-net tenant, partially offset by increases in rental income from lease renewals and contractual rent escalators.
NOI—Non-Segment
Non-segment NOI includes management fees and promote revenues, net of expenses, related to our third-party institutional private capital management platform, income from loans and investments and corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable business segments. The $6.0 million increase in non-segment NOI for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to interest income from a new secured loan investment.
Corporate Results
Interest and other income
The $2.2 million decrease in Interest and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in overall cash and cash equivalents invested in short-term money market funds.
Interest expense
The $3.3 million increase in Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was driven primarily by an increase in the weighted average effective interest rate. Our weighted average effective interest rate was 4.65% and 4.59% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our weighted average debt outstanding was $13.2 billion and $13.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total debt decreased from $13.0 billion as of December 31, 2025 to $12.4 billion as of September 30, 2026.
Depreciation and amortization
The $88.8 million increase in Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to an increase of $77.7 million associated with recent acquisition activities in 2026 compared to 2025, and a $21.4 million increase in impairment charges.
General, administrative and professional fees
The $7.3 million increase in General, administrative and professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to an increase in our portfolio from acquisition activities, strategic initiatives and investments in our enterprise, including artificial intelligence capabilities.
Transaction, transition and restructuring costs
The $2.4 million increase in Transaction, transition and restructuring costs for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to higher costs for the UPREIT Reorganization.
Other expense
The $3.5 million decrease in Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to a mark to market loss on derivative instruments in the prior year.
41
(Loss) income from unconsolidated entities
The $5.5 million loss from unconsolidated entities for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the $16.6 million of income for the same period in 2025 was primarily due to a gain on real estate dispositions by the Pension Fund Joint Venture in 2025.
Gain on real estate dispositions
Gain on real estate dispositions for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was relatively consistent.
Income tax benefit
The $19.3 million and $6.3 million income tax benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 are primarily due to the reversal of valuation allowances recorded against the net deferred tax assets of certain of our TRS entities, partially offset by increases in the valuation allowance for certain TRS entities during the period.

The increase in our SHOP segment NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily driven by revenue growth due to an increase in average occupancy, revenue per occupied room, additional properties acquired and conversions of senior housing communities from our NNN segment to our SHOP segment. The revenue increase is partially offset by higher operating expenses in 2026, driven by an increase in the number of communities in our SHOP segment, and increases in occupancy and inflation.

NOI—Non-Segment
The $7.6 million increase in non-segment NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to interest income from a new secured loan investment.
Corporate Results
Interest and other income
The $6.9 million decrease in Interest and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in overall cash and cash equivalents invested in short-term money market funds.
45
Interest expense
The $19.8 million increase in Interest expense, net of capitalized interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was driven by an increase in the weighted average effective interest rate and the weighted average debt outstanding. Our weighted average effective interest rate was 4.61% and 4.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our weighted average debt outstanding was $13.3 billion and $13.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total debt decreased from $13.0 billion as of December 31, 2025 to $12.4 billion as of September 30, 2026.
Depreciation and amortization
The $209.8 million increase in Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to an increase of $196.5 million from recent acquisitions and $24.6 million increase in impairment charges.
General, administrative and professional fees
The $21.0 million increase in General, administrative and professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to an increase in our portfolio from acquisition activities, strategic initiatives and investments in our enterprise, including artificial intelligence capabilities.
Transaction, transition and restructuring costs
The $11.9 million increase in Transaction, transition and restructuring costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to higher costs for the UPREIT Reorganization and increased transaction costs.
Other expense
The $3.4 million increase in Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to higher net insurance costs.
(Loss) income from unconsolidated entities
The $20.6 million loss from unconsolidated entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $12.2 million of income for the same period in 2025 was primarily due to a gain on real estate dispositions by the Pension Fund Joint Venture in 2025 and higher costs incurred as a result of more assets being fully placed in service during 2026.
Gain on real estate dispositions
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we sold 19 properties for a gain of $16.0 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold 15 properties for a gain of $14.4 million and entered into a sales-type lease which resulted in a gain of $20.8 million.
Income tax benefit
The $60.9 million and $13.0 million income tax benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, are primarily due to the reversal of valuation allowances recorded against the net deferred tax assets of certain of our TRS entities, partially offset by increases in the valuation allowance for certain TRS entities during the period.
46
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We consider certain non-GAAP financial measures to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is a measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not so excluded from or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Described below are the non-GAAP financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance and that we consider most useful to investors, together with reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
The non-GAAP financial measures we present in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not be comparable to those presented by other companies, which may define similarly titled measures differently than we do. You should not consider these measures as alternatives for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, you should examine these measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP measures as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Nareit Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders
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, we consider Nareit Funds From Operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”) and Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders (“Normalized FFO”) to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance of an equity REIT. We believe that the presentation of FFO, combined with the presentation of required GAAP financial measures, has improved the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and has helped make comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management generally considers FFO to be a useful measure for understanding and comparing our operating results because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment losses on depreciable real estate and real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can differ across owners of similar assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO can help investors compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate across reporting periods and to the operating performance of other companies. We believe that Normalized FFO is useful because it allows investors, analysts and our management to compare our operating performance across periods on a consistent basis. In some cases, we provide information about identified non-cash components of FFO and Normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of those items on our financial results.
We use 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 gain (or loss) 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 entities and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We define Normalized FFO as Nareit FFO excluding the following income and expense items, without duplication: (a) gains and losses on derivatives, net and changes in the fair value of financial instruments; (b) the non-cash impact of income tax benefits or expenses; (c) gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, net including 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 our debt; (d) transaction, transition and restructuring costs; (e) amortization of other intangibles; (f) non-cash stock-based compensation expense; (g) net expenses or recoveries related to significant disruptive events; (h) the impact of expenses related to asset impairment and valuation allowances; (i) the financial impact of contingent consideration; (j) gains and losses on non-real estate dispositions and other normalizing items related to noncontrolling interests and unconsolidated entities; and (k) other items set forth in the Normalized FFO reconciliation included herein.

NOI
We consider NOI an important supplemental measure because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess our unlevered property-level operating results and to compare our operating results between periods on a consistent basis. We define NOI as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and third-party capital management expenses. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical consolidated operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with Net income attributable to common stockholders as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

See “Results of Operations” for discussions regarding both NOI and Same-Store NOI. We define Same-Store as properties owned, consolidated and operational for the full period in both comparison periods and that are not otherwise excluded; provided, however, that we 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 our judgment such inclusion provides a more meaningful presentation of our segment performance.
Newly acquired development properties and recently developed or redeveloped properties in our SHOP reportable segment 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 our OM&R and NNN reportable segments will be included in Same-Store once substantial completion of work has occurred for the full period in both periods presented. Our SHOP and NNN 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 significant disruptive events such as flood or fire; (iii) for SHOP, those properties that are currently undergoing a significant disruptive redevelopment; (iv) for OM&R and NNN reportable segments, those properties for which management has an intention to institute, or has instituted, a redevelopment plan because the properties may require major property-level expenditures to maximize value, increase NOI, or maintain a market-competitive position and/or achieve property stabilization, most commonly as the result of an expected or actual material change in occupancy or NOI; or (v) for SHOP and NNN reportable segments, 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, our same-store NOI and same-store SHOP communities average monthly revenue per occupied room (“RevPOR”) 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 monthly exchange rate for the current period.

Concentration Risk
We use concentration ratios to identify, understand and evaluate the potential impact of economic downturns and other adverse events that may affect our asset types, geographic locations, business models, and managers, tenants and borrowers. We evaluate concentration risk in terms of investment mix and operations mix. Investment mix measures the percentage of our investments that is concentrated in a specific asset type or that is operated or managed by a particular manager, tenant or borrower. Operations mix measures the percentage of our operating results that is attributed to a particular manager, tenant or borrower, geographic location or business model. See “Note 3 – Concentration of Credit Risk” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional disclosure on the concentration of our credit risk.

Triple-Net Lease Performance and Expirations
Any failure, inability or unwillingness by our tenants to satisfy their obligations under our triple-net leases could have a material adverse effect on us. Also, if our tenants are not able or willing to renew our triple-net leases upon expiration, we may be unable to reposition the applicable properties on a timely basis or on the same or better economic terms, if at all. Although our lease expirations are staggered, the non-renewal of some or all of our triple-net leases that expire in any given year could have a material adverse effect on us. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we had no triple-net lease expirations that, in the aggregate, had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations for that period.

Tenant Lease Expirations
The following table summarizes our lease expirations in our OM&R and NNN segments, excluding real estate assets classified as held for sale, over the next 10 years and thereafter, assuming that none of the tenants exercise any of their renewal or purchase options, as of September 30, 2026 (dollars and square feet in thousands). See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business Operations and Strategy—Our inability to renew our management agreements with our SHOP managers or our leases with our NNN and OM&R tenants on as favorable terms or at all, and our inability when necessary, to effectively and efficiently transition a SHOP community to a new manager or a NNN or OM&R property to a new tenant, may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations” included in Part I, Item 1A of our 2025 Annual Report.

______________________________
(1)Annualized Base Rent (“ABR”) represents the annualized contractual cash base rent as of quarter end. ABR does not include future rent escalators, percentage rent, which is a rental charge typically based on certain tenants' gross revenue, common area maintenance charges or non-cash items such as straight-line rental income, the amortization of above / below market lease intangibles or other items.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities, borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility and commercial paper program, and proceeds from asset sales.
For the next 12 months, our principal liquidity needs are to: (i) fund operating expenses; (ii) meet our debt service requirements; (iii) repay maturing mortgage and other debt; (iv) fund acquisitions, investments and commitments and any development and redevelopment activities; (v) fund capital expenditures; and (vi) make distributions to our stockholders and unitholders, as required for us to continue to qualify as a REIT. Depending upon the availability of external capital, we believe our liquidity is sufficient to fund these uses of cash. We expect that these liquidity needs generally will be satisfied by a combination of the following: cash flows from operations, cash on hand, unsettled equity forward sales agreements, debt assumptions and financings (including secured financings), issuances of debt and equity securities, dispositions of assets (including, in whole or in part, through joint venture arrangements) and borrowings under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program. However, an inability to access liquidity through multiple capital sources concurrently could have a material adverse effect on us.
53
Our material contractual obligations arising in the normal course of business primarily consist of long-term debt and related interest payments, and operating obligations which include ground lease obligations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, our material contractual obligations decreased primarily due to the net repayment of debt. See “Note 10 – Senior Notes Payable and Other Debt” and “Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding our long-term debt obligations and operating obligations, respectively.
We may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding indebtedness for cash or in exchange for equity securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, prospects for capital and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Credit Facilities, Commercial Paper, Unsecured Term Loans and Letters of Credit
As of September 30, 2026, our $3.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility had no borrowings outstanding and $0.8 million restricted to support outstanding letters of credit. We use our unsecured revolving credit facility to support our commercial paper program and for general corporate purposes.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, VRLP, may issue from time to time unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $2.5 billion. The notes are sold under customary terms in the U.S. commercial paper note market and are ranked pari passu with VRLP’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ventas. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $17.0 million and no borrowings, respectively, outstanding under our commercial paper program.
As of September 30, 2026, VRLP had an unsecured term loan in aggregate principal of $1.25 billion. The term loan is priced at SOFR plus 0.85%, which is subject to adjustment based on VRLP’s debt ratings. This term loan is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ventas and subject to certain customary covenants and other terms and conditions. It is scheduled to mature in January 2031 and includes an accordion feature that permits VRLP to increase the aggregate borrowings thereunder to up to $1.75 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase.
As of September 30, 2026, we had a $100.0 million uncommitted line for standby letters of credit, which had an outstanding balance of $28.1 million. The agreement governing the line contains certain customary covenants and other terms and conditions. Under its terms, we are required to pay a fixed rate commission on each outstanding letter of credit.
Exchangeable Senior Notes
In June 2023, VRLP issued $862.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Exchangeable Notes”) in a private placement. The Exchangeable Notes were senior, unsecured obligations of VRLP and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by Ventas. The Exchangeable Notes bore interest at a rate of 3.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2023. The Exchangeable Notes matured in June 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we settled the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes with $862.5 million in cash and the conversion premium by issuing 6.0 million shares of Ventas common stock.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized zero and $13.2 million, respectively, of contractual interest expense and amortization of issuance costs of zero and $3.1 million, respectively, related to the Exchangeable Notes.
54
Senior Notes
In January 2026, we repaid $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2026.
In October 2026, we repaid upon maturity $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Senior Notes due 2026.
Mortgages
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we used the proceeds from new mortgage loans with a total principal amount of $130.7 million with maturities ranging from September 2031 to October 2036 to refinance existing mortgage loans with a principal balance of $121.2 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we used the proceeds from new mortgage loans with a total principal amount of $198.1 million with maturities ranging from February 2031 to October 2036 to refinance existing mortgage loans with a principal balance of $185.0 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we incurred $333.7 million of mortgage loans with maturities ranging from August 2029 to May 2031 in connection with certain of our senior housing acquisitions.
Derivatives and Hedging
In the normal course of our business, interest rate fluctuations affect future cash flows under our variable rate debt obligations, loans receivable and marketable debt securities, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect our operating results. We follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivative instruments, to mitigate the impact of these risks.
We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes, and we have a policy of entering into contracts only with major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. When considered together with the underlying exposure that the derivative is designed to hedge, we do not expect that the use of derivatives in this manner would have any material adverse effect on our future financial condition or results of operations.
We enter into interest rate swaps in order to maintain a capital structure containing targeted amounts of fixed and variable-rate debt and manage interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for our fixed-rate payments. These interest rate swap agreements are used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.
Periodically, we enter into interest rate derivatives, such as treasury locks, to partially hedge the risk of changes in interest payments attributable to increases in the benchmark interest rate during the period leading up to the probable issuance of fixed-rate debt. We designate our interest rate locks as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses when we settle our interest rate locks are amortized over the life of the related debt and recorded in Interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
As of September 30, 2026, our variable rate debt obligations of $1.6 billion reflect, in part, the effect of $74.4 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities in March 2027, that effectively convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. These interest rate swaps were not designated for hedge accounting.
As of September 30, 2026, our fixed rate debt obligations of $10.9 billion reflect, in part, the effect of $124.8 million and C$583.6 million ($410.2 million) notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities ranging from June 2027 to April 2031, that effectively convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges.
55
2026 Activity
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of realized losses primarily relating to our interest rate swaps and treasury locks were reclassified into Interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Approximately $2.8 million of unrealized gains, which are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2026, are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
Capital Stock
Equity Forward Sales Agreements
In May 2026, we amended the existing ATM Program such that the aggregate gross sales price of common stock available for issuance increased from $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion. As of September 30, 2026, the remaining amount available under the ATM Program for future sales of common stock was $1.6 billion.
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we entered into equity forward sales agreements under the ATM Program for 7.8 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $0.7 billion, representing an average price of $90.87 per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we settled 15.9 million shares of common stock under outstanding equity forward sales agreements entered into under the ATM Program for net cash proceeds of $1.4 billion.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we entered into equity forward sales agreements under the ATM Program for 42.5 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $3.7 billion, representing an average price of $86.91 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we settled 47.3 million shares of common stock under outstanding equity forward sales agreements entered into under the ATM Program for net cash proceeds of $3.9 billion.
As of September 30, 2026, the remaining amount available under the ATM Program for future sales of common stock was $1.6 billion, and we maintained unsettled equity forward sales agreements for 9.1 million shares of common stock, or approximately $0.8 billion in gross proceeds, with varying maturities through April 2028.
From time to time, including under the ATM Program, we may enter into equity forward sales agreements. An equity forward sales agreement enables us to secure a share price on the sale of shares of our common stock at or shortly after the time the forward sales agreement becomes effective, while postponing the receipt of proceeds from the sale of shares until a future date. Equity forward sales agreements generally have a maturity of one to two years. At any time during the term of an equity forward sales agreement, we may settle that equity forward sales agreement by delivery of physical shares of our common stock to the forward purchaser or, at our election, subject to certain exceptions, we may settle in cash or by net share settlement. The forward sales price we expect to receive upon settlement of outstanding equity forward sales agreements will be the initial forward price, net of commissions, established on or shortly after the effective date of the relevant equity forward sales agreement, subject to adjustments for accrued interest, the forward purchasers’ stock borrowing costs in excess of a certain threshold specified in the equity forward sales agreement and certain fixed price reductions for expected dividends on our common stock during the term of the equity forward sales agreement. Our unsettled equity forward sales agreements are accounted for as equity instruments. Refer to “Note 15 – Earnings Per Share.”
Dividends
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we declared a dividend of $0.52 per share of our common stock in each of the first, second and third quarters. In order to continue to qualify as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gain). In addition, we will be subject to income tax at the regular corporate rate to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, including any net capital gains. We intend to pay dividends greater than 100% of our taxable income, after the use of any net operating loss carryforwards, for 2026.
We expect that our cash flows will exceed our REIT taxable income due to depreciation and other non-cash deductions in computing REIT taxable income and that we will be able to satisfy the 90% distribution
56
requirement. However, from time to time, we may not have sufficient cash on hand or other liquid assets to meet this requirement or we may decide to retain cash or distribute such greater amount as may be necessary to avoid income and excise taxation. If we do not have sufficient cash on hand or other liquid assets to enable us to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement, or if we desire to retain cash, we may borrow funds, issue additional equity securities, pay taxable stock dividends, if possible, distribute other property or securities or engage in a transaction intended to enable us to meet the REIT distribution requirements or any combination of the foregoing.
Capital Expenditures
From time to time, we engage in development and redevelopment activities within our reportable business segments and through our investments in unconsolidated entities. For example, we are party to certain agreements that commit us to develop properties funded through capital that we and, in certain circumstances, our joint venture partners provide. In addition, from time to time, we engage in redevelopment projects with respect to our existing senior housing communities, outpatient medical buildings and research centers to maximize the value, increase NOI, maintain a market-competitive position, achieve property stabilization or change the primary use of the property.
The terms of our triple-net leases generally obligate our tenants to pay all capital expenditures necessary to maintain and improve our triple-net leased properties. However, from time to time, we may fund the capital expenditures for our triple-net leased properties through loans or advances to the tenants, which may increase the amount of rent payable with respect to the properties in certain cases. We may also fund capital expenditures for which we may become responsible upon expiration of our triple-net leases or in the event that our tenants are unable or unwilling to meet their obligations under those leases.
We expect that these liquidity needs generally will be satisfied by a combination of the following: cash flows from operations, cash on hand, debt assumptions and financings (including secured financings), issuances of debt and equity securities, dispositions of assets (in whole or in part through joint venture arrangements) and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program.
To the extent that unanticipated capital expenditure needs arise or significant borrowings are required, our liquidity may be affected adversely. Our ability to borrow additional funds may be restricted in certain circumstances by the terms of the instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities increased $265.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to growth in our SHOP business.
57
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $2.1 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to a $1.6 billion increase from higher real estate investments in our SHOP business, a $309.0 million increase in loan investments, a $92.0 million decrease in proceeds from dispositions and a $123.1 million increase in aggregate redevelopment and development projects and other capital expenditures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $1.9 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to a $1.8 billion increase in proceeds from common stock issuances, a $280.6 million increase in debt proceeds, net of debt repayment, partially offset by a $116.2 million increase in dividends.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We own interests in certain unconsolidated entities as described in “Note 7 – Investments in Unconsolidated Entities.” Except in limited circumstances, our risk of loss is limited to our investment in the entities and any outstanding loans receivable. Further, we use financial derivative instruments to hedge interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate exposure. Finally, as of September 30, 2026, we had $28.9 million outstanding letters of credit obligations.
Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantor and Issuer Information - Registered Senior Notes
Ventas, Inc. has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligation to pay principal and interest with respect to the outstanding senior notes issued by our 100% owned subsidiary, VRLP, that were issued in transactions registered under the Securities Act of 1933. No other Ventas entities are issuers or guarantors of debt securities registered under the Securities Act.
Under certain circumstances, contractual and legal restrictions, including those contained in the instruments governing our subsidiaries’ outstanding mortgage indebtedness, may restrict our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries for the purpose of meeting our debt service obligations, including VRLP’s payment obligations and our payment guarantees with respect to VRLP’s registered senior notes.
VRLP is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ventas, Inc. Excluding investments in subsidiaries, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of VRLP and Ventas, Inc., on a combined basis, are not material to the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of Ventas. Therefore, in accordance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, we have elected to exclude summarized financial information for the issuer and guarantor of our registered senior notes.
58
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion of our exposure to various market risks contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These projected results have been prepared utilizing certain assumptions considered reasonable in light of information currently available to us. Nevertheless, because of the inherent unpredictability of interest rates and other factors, actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking information.
Market Risk
We are primarily exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates with respect to borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, our unsecured term loans and our commercial paper program, certain of our mortgage loans that are variable rate obligations, mortgage loans receivable that bear interest at variable rates and available for sale securities. These market risks result primarily from changes in benchmark interest rates. To manage these risks, we continuously monitor our level of variable rate debt with respect to total debt and other factors, including our assessment of current and future economic conditions. See “Risk Factors—We are exposed to increases in interest rates, which could reduce our profitability and adversely impact our ability to refinance existing debt, sell assets or engage in acquisition, investment, development and redevelopment activity, and our decision to hedge against interest rate risk might not be effective” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The variable rate debt as of September 30, 2026 in the table above reflects, in part, the effect of $74.4 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities in March 2027, that effectively convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. In addition, the fixed rate debt as of September 30, 2026 in the table above reflects, in part, the effect of $124.8 million and C$583.6 million ($410.2 million) notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities ranging from June 2027 to April 2031, in each case, that effectively convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. See “Note 10 – Senior Notes Payable and Other Debt” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The increase in our outstanding variable rate debt at September 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to a $550.0 million term loan draw and an increase of $17.0 million in commercial paper notes outstanding.
The decrease in our outstanding fixed rate debt at September 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to the repayment of senior notes.
Assuming a 100 basis point increase in the weighted average interest rate related to our consolidated variable rate debt and assuming no change in our consolidated variable rate debt outstanding as of September 30, 2026 of $1.6 billion, interest expense on an annualized basis would increase by approximately $16.1 million, or approximately $0.03 per diluted common share.
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our joint venture partners’ aggregate share of total consolidated debt was $335.6 million and $328.2 million, respectively, with respect to certain properties we owned through consolidated joint ventures.
Total consolidated debt does not include our portion of unconsolidated debt related to investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, which was $761.8 million and $732.5 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The fair value of our fixed rate debt is based on current market interest rates at which we could obtain similar borrowings. Increases in market interest rates typically result in a decrease in the fair value of fixed rate debt while decreases in market interest rates typically result in an increase in the fair value of fixed rate debt. While changes in market interest rates affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt, these changes do not affect the interest expense associated with our fixed rate debt. Therefore, interest rate risk does not have a significant impact on our fixed rate debt obligations until their maturity or earlier prepayment and refinancing. If interest rates have risen at the time we seek to refinance our fixed rate debt, whether at maturity or otherwise, our future earnings and cash flows could be adversely affected by additional borrowing costs. Conversely, lower interest rates at the time of refinancing may reduce our overall borrowing costs.
To highlight the sensitivity of our fixed rate debt to changes in interest rates, the following summary shows the effects of a hypothetical instantaneous change of 100 basis points in interest rates (dollars in thousands):

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of our secured and non-mortgage loans receivable, based on our estimates of currently prevailing rates for comparable loans, was $454.5 million and $166.8 million, respectively. See “Note 6 – Loans Receivable and Investments” and “Note 11 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As a result of our Canadian and United Kingdom operations, we are subject to fluctuations in certain foreign currency exchange rates that may, from time to time, affect our financial condition and operating performance. Based solely on our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 (including the impact of existing hedging arrangements), if the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the British pound and Canadian dollar were to increase or decrease by one standard deviation compared to the average exchange rate during the year, our Net Income and Normalized FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 would decrease or increase by less than $0.01 per diluted common share. We will continue to mitigate these risks through a layered approach to hedging and continual assessment of our foreign operational capital structure. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that any such fluctuations will not have a significant effect on our earnings.
