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,” “Company” and other similar terms) an S&P 500 company, is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) 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 June 30, 2024, we owned or had investments in approximately 1,350 properties (including properties classified as held for sale and unconsolidated properties). Our company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois with additional corporate offices in Louisville, Kentucky and New York, New York.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1999. Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be 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 highly technical requirements, which impact how we invest in, operate or manage our assets.
We primarily invest in our portfolio of real estate assets through wholly-owned subsidiaries and other co-investment entities. We operate through three reportable business segments: senior housing operating portfolio, which we also refer to as “SHOP,” outpatient medical and research portfolio, which we also refer to as “OM&R,” and triple-net leased properties. Non-segment assets consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash, restricted cash, loans receivable and investments and miscellaneous accounts receivable as well as investments in unconsolidated entities. In addition, from time to time, we make secured and unsecured loans and other investments relating to real estate or operators. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates performance of the combined properties in each operating segment and determines how to allocate resources to these segments, in significant part, based on net operating income (“NOI”) and related measures for each segment. See “Note 16 – Segment Information.” For a discussion of our definition of NOI and for a reconciliation of NOI to our net income attributable to common stockholders, as computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
We also have investments in unconsolidated entities, including through our third-party institutional capital management business, 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”).
The following table summarizes information for our consolidated reportable business segments and non-segment assets for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands):
Segment | Total NOI (1) | Percentage of Total NOI | Number of Consolidated Properties | |||||||||||||||||
Senior housing operating portfolio (SHOP) | $ | % | ||||||||||||||||||
Outpatient medical and research portfolio (OM&R) | % | |||||||||||||||||||
| Triple-net leased properties | % | |||||||||||||||||||
Non-segment (2) | % | |||||||||||||||||||
| $ | % | |||||||||||||||||||
______________________________
(1) “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 of net income attributable to common stockholders, as computed in accordance with GAAP, to NOI.
(2) NOI for non-segment includes management fees and promote revenues, net of expenses related to our third-party institutional capital management business, income from loans and investments and various corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable business segments.

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 period have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. 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, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
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
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments. Required disclosures include, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount for other segment items (which is the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses and less segment profit or loss) and a description of its composition, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also permits disclosure of more than one measure of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 and expect to have additional disclosures in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

VENTAS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires public entities on an annual basis to (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. We are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate Related Disclosures for Investors, which requires registrants to disclose climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. The new rules would be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025. However, in April 2024, the SEC exercised its discretion to stay these rules pending the completion of judicial review of certain consolidated petitions with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in connection with these rules. We are evaluating the impact of this rule on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 3—CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The properties managed by Atria Senior Living, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, including Holiday Retirement (“Holiday”), “Atria”) and Sunrise Senior Living, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Sunrise”), and leased to Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Brookdale”), Ardent Health Partners, Inc. (f/k/a Ardent Health Partners, LLC and, together with its subsidiaries, “Ardent”) and Kindred Healthcare, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Kindred”) contributed approximately 19.2 %, 5.9 %, 7.2 %, 6.6 % and 6.6 %, respectively, of our total NOI for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Because Atria and Sunrise manage our properties in exchange for a management fee from us, we are not directly exposed to their credit risk in the same manner or to the same extent as triple-net tenants like Brookdale, Ardent and Kindred.
Our SHOP, outpatient medical and research portfolio and triple-net leased properties segments contributed 41.7 %, 28.4 %, and 29.2 %, respectively, of our total NOI for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our consolidated properties were located in 47 states, the District of Columbia, seven Canadian provinces and the United Kingdom as of June 30, 2024, with properties in one state (California) accounting for more than 10 % of our total consolidated revenues and NOI for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. 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 NOI.
Triple-Net Leased Properties
The properties we triple-net leased to Brookdale, Ardent and Kindred accounted for a significant portion of total revenues and total NOI for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The following table reflects the concentration risk related to our triple-net leased properties including assets held for sale for the periods presented:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Each of our leases with Brookdale, Ardent and Kindred is a triple-net lease that obligates the tenant to pay all property-related expenses, including maintenance, utilities, repairs, taxes, insurance and capital expenditures, and to comply with the terms of the mortgage financing documents, if any, affecting the properties. In addition, each of our Brookdale, Ardent and Kindred leases is guaranteed by a corporate parent.
Kindred Lease
As of June 30, 2024, we leased 29 properties to Kindred (collectively, the “Kindred Portfolio”) pursuant to a single, triple-net master lease agreement (together with certain other agreements related to such master lease, collectively, the “Kindred Lease”). The Kindred Portfolio is divided into two separate renewal groups. The first group is composed of six properties (“Group 1”) and the second group is composed of 23 properties (“Group 2”). As of June 30, 2024, the Kindred Lease represented approximately 6.6 % of the Company’s total annualized NOI, with Group 1 representing approximately 1.3 % of total annualized NOI and Group 2 representing approximately 5.3 % of the Company’s total annualized NOI. Kindred’s obligations under the Kindred Lease are guaranteed by a parent company.
The current term of the Kindred Lease for Group 1 expires on April 30, 2028. Under the Kindred Lease, Kindred has the option to renew the lease for all of the properties (but not less than all) within Group 1 for two 5 -year extensions, in each case at the greater of escalated rent and fair market rent, by providing written notice no later than one year prior to the applicable expiration date.
The current term of the Kindred Lease for Group 2 expires on April 30, 2025. Under the Kindred Lease, Kindred had the option to renew the lease for all of the properties (but not less than all) within Group 2 for three 5 -year extensions, in each case at the greater of escalated rent and fair market rent, by providing written notice no later than one year prior to the applicable expiration date. Although Kindred did not provide such notice, we and Kindred could still reach a negotiated agreement to extend the Kindred Lease with respect to some or all of the Group 2 properties. For any properties that Kindred does not continue to lease, there are other options we may choose to pursue, including, without limitation, transitions to replacement operators, conversions of properties to alternative uses and sale transactions. There can be no assurance that any negotiated agreement we reach with Kindred or any other options we may pursue with respect to the Group 2 properties would be as favorable to us as the current Kindred Lease.
If the Kindred Lease is renewed or otherwise extended for some or all of the Group 2 properties, the total contractual cash rent for those properties for the period from the date of the renewal or extension agreement to the end of the new or extended lease term would be straightlined for accounting purposes. If in such renewal or extension agreement we were to agree to continue to lease to Kindred some or all of the Group 2 properties after the current expiration date of April 30, 2025 for a lower base rent than the rent currently in place for such properties, we would recognize a non-cash GAAP reduction in revenue during the period after we reach such agreement through April 30, 2025 even if existing contractual cash rent remains unchanged and is fully paid at such higher level prior to such date.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic began to recede, the financial performance of the Kindred Portfolio has declined such that financial performance for the trailing 12-month period ending June 30, 2024 does not exceed the rent under the Kindred Lease for such period. While we believe that Kindred has taken and is taking targeted actions to attempt to improve the performance of the properties, there can be no assurance that Kindred will be able to do so or that such financial performance will not affect Kindred’s ability to perform its obligations to us or impact any of its decisions related to the renewal of the lease. We believe there are many factors in addition to portfolio coverage that will influence the ultimate outcome as it relates to the Group 2 properties.
See “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Strategy—If we need to replace any of our tenants or managers, we may be unable to do so on as favorable terms, if at all, and we could be subject to delays, limitations and expenses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.” “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Strategy—A significant portion of our revenues and operating income is dependent on a limited number of tenants and managers, including Brookdale, Ardent, Kindred, Atria and Sunrise.” and “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Strategy—We face potential adverse consequences from the bankruptcy, insolvency or financial deterioration of our tenants, managers, borrowers and other obligors.” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Brookdale Lease
As of June 30, 2024, we leased 121 properties (excluding 10 properties managed by Brookdale pursuant to long-term management agreements and included in the SHOP segment) to Brookdale pursuant to a single, triple-net master lease agreement (together with certain other agreements related to such master lease, collectively, the “Brookdale Lease”). The aggregate cash base rent due to us from Brookdale in 2024 is approximately $110.3 million, and the current aggregate contractual base rent (computed in accordance with GAAP) is approximately $148.9 million. The difference between the aggregate cash base rent due in 2024 and the current aggregate contractual base rent (computed in accordance with GAAP) is, in part, a result of the amortization over the remaining lease term of $235 million of up-front consideration received as part of amendments to the Brookdale Lease that were entered into in July 2020 (the “2020 Consideration”). The 2020 Consideration consisted of: (a) $162 million in cash; (b) a $45 million note (repaid by Brookdale in 2021); and (c) $28 million, representing the initial value of warrants exercisable for 16.3 million shares of Brookdale Senior Living, Inc. common stock. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $170.6 million of such 2020 Consideration has been amortized, leaving approximately $64.0 million unamortized. The Brookdale Lease is guaranteed by Brookdale Senior Living, Inc.
Under the terms of the Brookdale Lease, base rent escalates annually at 3 % per annum, commencing on January 1, 2022. The term of the Brookdale Lease expires December 31, 2025. Brookdale has the option to renew the Brookdale Lease with respect to all (but not less than all) of the properties for two , 10-year extensions. Base rent for the first year of each extension is the greater of (a) 103 % of prior full year’s base rent; and (b) fair market rent, capped at a 10 % increase. Subsequent to the first year of any such renewal, base rent would continue to escalate by 3 % per annum over the prior full year’s base rent.
Brookdale currently has the option to renew the Brookdale Lease for its next 10-year extension by providing written notice to us after June 30, 2024 and on or before November 30, 2024. If Brookdale does not timely exercise its renewal option, we and Brookdale may nonetheless reach a negotiated agreement to continue the Brookdale Lease in whole or in part prior to its expiration date. If all or any part of the Brookdale Lease is renewed or otherwise extended, the then remaining unamortized portion of the 2020 Consideration would be re-amortized and the new GAAP rent for the period from the date of the renewal or extension agreement to the end of the new or extended lease term would be straightlined. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Strategy—If we need to replace any of our tenants or managers, we may be unable to do so on as favorable terms, if at all, and we could be subject to delays, limitations and expenses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Strategy—A significant portion of our revenues and operating income is dependent on a limited number of tenants and managers, including Brookdale, Ardent, Kindred, Atria and Sunrise.” included in Part 1, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we exercised warrants for 1.7 million shares of Brookdale Senior Living, Inc. common stock (“Brookdale Common Stock”) on a cashless basis, resulting in our receipt of 0.9 million shares of Brookdale Common Stock (net of the $3.00 exercise price), which we sold for net cash proceeds of $6.1 million (recorded within operating cashflows in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows). We recognized a $1.0 million net realized loss relative to the fair market value of the warrants as of March 31, 2024 (recorded in Other Expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income). As of June 30, 2024, we continued to hold 14.6 million warrants for Brookdale Common Stock, which are exercisable at any time prior to December 31, 2025 and have an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The remaining warrants are classified within Other Assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized within Other Expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Ardent Lease
As of June 30, 2024, we leased 11 properties (excluding 19 outpatient medical buildings leased to Ardent under separate leases included in our outpatient medical and research portfolio segment) to Ardent pursuant to a single, triple-net master lease agreement (together with certain other agreements related to such master lease, collectively, the “Ardent Lease”). The existing term of the Ardent Lease expires August 31, 2035 and Ardent has the option to renew such term for one , 10-year extension at contractual escalated rent. The Ardent Lease is guaranteed by the Ardent parent company. In July 2024, Ardent Health Partners, Inc., the parent company of the tenants under, and guarantor of, the Ardent Lease, consummated an initial public offering (the “Ardent IPO”). See “Note 7 – Investments in Unconsolidated Entities.”

Senior Housing Operating Portfolio
As of June 30, 2024, Atria and Sunrise, collectively, provided comprehensive property management and accounting services with respect to 298 of our 582 consolidated senior housing communities, for which we pay annual management fees pursuant to long-term management agreements.

Our Sunrise Management Agreements have initial terms expiring between 2034 and 2040. Ventas has the ability to terminate some or all of the Sunrise Management Agreements under certain circumstances with or without the payment of a fee.
We rely on our managers’ personnel, expertise, technical resources and information systems, proprietary information, good faith and judgment to manage our senior housing operating portfolio efficiently and effectively. We also rely on our managers to set appropriate resident fees, provide accurate property-level financial results in a timely manner and otherwise operate our senior housing communities in compliance with the terms of our management agreements and all applicable laws and regulations.
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 tenant, operator or manager, geographic location, asset type, business model or revenue source. Each of our acquisitions disclosed below was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
2024 Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we acquired 11 senior housing communities reported within our SHOP segment for an aggregate purchase price of $327.4 million.

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.

Credit Facilities, Commercial Paper, Unsecured Term Loans and Letters of Credit
As of June 30, 2024, we have a $2.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility priced at SOFR plus 0.10 % applied in connection with the transition from LIBOR to SOFR (“Adjusted 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 periods of six months each. The revolving credit facility also includes an accordion feature that permits us to increase our aggregate borrowing capacity thereunder to up to $3.75 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 customary events of default.
As of June 30, 2024, we had $2.7 billion of undrawn capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility with $3.2 million outstanding and an additional $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, Ventas Realty, Limited Partnership (“Ventas Realty”), may issue from time to time unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $1.0 billion. The notes are sold under customary terms in the U.S. commercial paper note market and are ranked pari passu with all of Ventas Realty’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ventas, Inc. As of June 30, 2024, we had no borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program.
Ventas Realty has a $500.0 million unsecured term loan priced at Adjusted SOFR plus 0.85 %, which is subject to adjustment based on Ventas Realty’s debt ratings. This term loan is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ventas, Inc. It matures in June 2027 and includes an accordion feature that permits Ventas Realty to increase the aggregate borrowings thereunder to up to $1.25 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase.
Ventas Realty has a $200.0 million unsecured term loan priced at Adjusted SOFR plus 0.85 %, which is subject to adjustment based on Ventas Realty’s debt ratings. This term loan is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ventas, Inc. It matures in February 2027 and includes an accordion feature that permits Ventas Realty to increase the aggregate borrowings thereunder to up to $500.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repaid and extinguished a C$500.0 million or $367.9 million unsecured term loan facility priced at Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) plus 0.90 % that would otherwise have matured in January 2025. We also repaid C$73.0 million or $53.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2.80 % Senior Notes, Series E due 2024 at maturity.
As of June 30, 2024, our $100.0 million uncommitted line for standby letters of credit had an outstanding balance of $14.7 million. The agreement governing the line contains certain customary covenants and, under its terms, we are required to pay a commission on each outstanding letter of credit at a fixed rate.
Exchangeable Senior Notes
In June 2023, Ventas Realty 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 are senior, unsecured obligations of Ventas Realty and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by Ventas, Inc. The Exchangeable Notes bear 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 mature on June 1, 2026, unless earlier exchanged, redeemed or repurchased. As of June 30, 2024, we had $862.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes outstanding. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized approximately $8.1 million and $16.2 million respectively, of contractual interest expense and amortization of issuance costs of $1.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively,

related to the Exchangeable Notes. Unamortized issuance costs of $13.7 million as of June 30, 2024 were recorded as an offset to senior notes payable and other debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable at an initial exchange rate of 18.2460 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $54.81 per share of common stock). The initial exchange rate is subject to adjustment, including in the event of the payment of a quarterly dividend in excess of $0.45 per share, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. Upon exchange of the Exchangeable Notes, Ventas Realty will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes to be exchanged and pay or deliver (or cause to be delivered), as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at Ventas Realty’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its exchange obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes being exchanged. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2026, the Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable at the option of the noteholders only upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods described in the indenture governing the Exchangeable Notes. On or after March 1, 2026, until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable at the option of the noteholders at any time regardless of these conditions or periods.
We have evaluated and concluded that the exchange options embedded in our exchangeable senior notes are eligible for the entity’s own equity scope exception from ASC 815 and therefore, do not need to be bifurcated. Accordingly, we record our exchangeable senior notes as liabilities (included in senior notes payable and other debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheets).
Senior Notes
In February 2024, Ventas Canada Finance Limited (“Ventas Canada”) issued and sold $475.3 million (C$650.0 million) aggregate principal amount of 5.10 % Senior Notes, Series J due 2029 in a private placement. The proceeds were primarily used to repay a $367.9 million (C$500.0 million) unsecured term loan facility due 2025.
In April and May 2024, we repaid $800.0 million senior notes consisting of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50 % Senior Notes due 2024 and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75 % Senior Notes due 2024 at maturity primarily with cash on hand and through our commercial paper program.
In April 2024, we repaid $53.4 million (C$73.0 million) aggregate principal amount of 2.80 % Senior Notes, Series E due 2024 at maturity with cash on hand.

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.
Periodically, we enter into and designate interest rate 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 into earnings over the life of the related debt, except where a material amount is deemed to be ineffective, which would be immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
As of June 30, 2024, our variable rate debt obligations of $0.7 billion reflect, in part, the effect of $142.3 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities in March 2027, that effectively convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt.
As of June 30, 2024, our fixed rate debt obligations of $12.5 billion reflect, in part, the effect of $526.9 million and C$643.8 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities ranging from February 2025 to April 2031, in each case, that effectively convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt.
2024 Activity
In June through August 2024, we entered into an aggregate $200.0 4.1
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.
21
VENTAS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
•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 two 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
The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values of our financial instruments either recorded or disclosed on a recurring basis (dollars in thousands):
| As of June 30, 2024 | As of December 31, 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

(3)Level 2 within fair value hierarchy.
(4)Level 3 within fair value hierarchy.
(5)Included in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(6)Included in accounts payable and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Real estate recorded as held for sale and any associated real estate impairment recorded due to the shortening of the expected hold period due to our change in intent to hold the asset (see “Note 5 – Dispositions and Impairments”) are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. 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 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 tenants, operators, managers 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: (1) guarantees of all or a portion of the principal, interest and other amounts due under mortgage debt or other borrowings, (2) customary nonrecourse carve-out guarantees provided in connection with mortgage or other borrowings, (3) customary indemnifications of lenders for potential environmental liabilities, (4) completion guarantees provided to lenders, tenants, ground lessors or other third parties for the completion of development and redevelopment projects, (5) 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, (6) guarantees of ground rent and other payment of ground rent and other obligations to ground lessors and (7) indemnities and other guarantees required in connection with the procurement of performance and surety bonds and standby letters of credit.
As of June 30, 2024, it is the opinion of management that (i) our liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and (ii) the risk of us being required to make payments under these arrangements is remote, in each case, individually and in the aggregate. Accordingly, no contingent liability is recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet for any of these arrangements.
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 six months ended June 30, 2024, 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.
Our consolidated provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was an expense of $7.8 million and a benefit of $9.8 million, respectively. Our consolidated provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was an expense of $4.8 million and a benefit of $12.6 million, respectively. The income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to the enactment of Bill C-59 in Canada, which limits the amount of interest expense we can deduct with respect to our Canadian entities. Bill C-59 is retrospectively applied to October 1, 2023 and the cumulative effect tax of such interest limitation was recognized in the current quarter. The impact of the interest limitation was partially offset by reversal of valuation allowances recorded against the net deferred tax assets of certain of our TRS entities and losses in certain of our TRS entities. The income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to losses in certain of our TRS entities as well as an $8.0 million benefit from internal restructurings of our U.S. TRS entities.

(Unaudited)
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 $32.7 million and $24.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 $1.7 million and $1.8 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, 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, 2020 and subsequent years and are subject to audit by state taxing authorities for the year ended December 31, 2019 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, 2019 and subsequent years. We are subject to audit in the United Kingdom generally for periods ended in and subsequent to 2022.
NOTE 14—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Capital Stock
We participate in an “at-the-market” equity offering program (“ATM program”), pursuant to which we may, from time to time, sell up to $1.0 billion aggregate gross sales price of shares of our common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 10.4 million shares of our common stock under our ATM program for gross proceeds of $499.4 million, representing an average price of $47.87 per share. As of June 30, 2024, the remaining amount available under our ATM program for future sales of common stock was $500.6 million.

______________________________
(1) Potential common shares are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when a loss from continuing operations exists as the effect would be an antidilutive per share amount.
The dilutive effect of our Exchangeable Notes is calculated using the if-converted method in accordance with ASU 2020-06. We are required, pursuant to the indenture governing the Exchangeable Notes, to settle the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes in cash and may 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 include the number of shares required to satisfy the exchange obligation, assuming all the Exchangeable Notes are exchanged. The average closing price of our common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is used as the basis for determining the dilutive effect on earnings per share. The average price of our common stock for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was less than the initial exchange price of $54.81 and, therefore, all associated shares were antidilutive.

NOTE 16—SEGMENT INFORMATION
As of June 30, 2024, we operated through three reportable business segments: SHOP, outpatient medical and research portfolio and triple-net leased properties. In our SHOP segment, we invest in senior housing communities throughout the United States and Canada and engage operators to operate those communities. In our outpatient medical and research portfolio segment, we primarily acquire, own, develop, lease and manage outpatient medical buildings and research centers throughout the United States. In our triple-net leased properties 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 throughout the United States and the United Kingdom and lease those 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 capital management business, income from loans and investments and various corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable business segments. Non-segment assets consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash, restricted cash, loans receivable and investments and miscellaneous accounts receivable as well as investments in unconsolidated entities including VIM.
Our chief operating decision maker evaluates performance of the combined properties in each reportable business segment and determines how to allocate resources to those segments, in significant part, based on NOI and related measures for each segment. We define NOI as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and third party capital management expenses. We consider NOI useful because it allows investors, analysts and our management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare our operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies between periods on a consistent basis. 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 “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.
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 business segments for purposes of assessing segment performance. There are no intersegment sales or transfers.

Cautionary Statements
Forward-Looking Statements
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 words such as “assume,” “may,” “will,” “project,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “target,” “forecast,” “plan,” “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,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Certain factors that could affect our future results and our ability to achieve our stated goals include, but are not limited to: (a) our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies from, and effectively integrate, our completed or anticipated acquisitions and investments; (b) our exposure and the exposure of our tenants, managers and borrowers to complex healthcare and other regulation, including evolving laws and regulations regarding data privacy and cybersecurity and environmental matters, and the challenges and expense associated with complying with such regulation; (c) the potential for significant general and commercial claims, legal actions, investigations, regulatory proceedings and enforcement actions that could subject us or our tenants, managers 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; (d) the impact of market and general economic conditions on us, our tenants, managers and borrowers and in areas in which our properties are geographically concentrated, including macroeconomic trends and financial market events, such as bank failures and other events affecting financial institutions, market volatility, increases in inflation, changes in or elevated interest and exchange rates, tightening of lending standards and reduced availability of credit or capital, geopolitical conditions, supply chain pressures, rising labor costs and historically low unemployment, events that affect consumer confidence, our occupancy rates and resident fee revenues, and the actual and perceived state of the real estate markets, labor markets and public and private capital markets; (e) our reliance and the reliance of our tenants, managers and borrowers on the financial, credit and capital markets and the risk that those markets may be disrupted or become constrained; (f) the implementation and impact of regulations related to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and other stimulus legislation, including the risk that some or all of the CARES Act or other COVID-19 relief payments we or our tenants, managers or borrowers received could be recouped; (g) our ability, and the ability of our tenants, managers and borrowers, to navigate the trends impacting our or their businesses and the industries in which we or they operate, and the financial condition or business prospect of our tenants, managers and borrowers; (h) the risk of bankruptcy, inability to obtain benefits from governmental programs, insolvency or financial deterioration of our tenants, managers, 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, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition; (i) 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; (j) our current and future amount of outstanding indebtedness, and our ability to access capital

Company Overview
Ventas, Inc., an S&P 500 company, is a real estate investment trust operating at the intersection of healthcare and real estate. 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 June 30, 2024, we owned or had investments in approximately 1,350 properties (including properties classified as held for sale and unconsolidated properties). Our company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois with additional corporate offices in Louisville, Kentucky and New York, New York.
32
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1999. Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be 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 highly technical requirements, which impact how we invest in, operate or manage our assets.
We primarily invest in our portfolio of real estate assets through wholly-owned subsidiaries and other co-investment entities. We operate through three reportable business segments: senior housing operating portfolio, which we also refer to as “SHOP,” outpatient medical and research portfolio, which we also refer to as “OM&R,” and triple-net leased properties. Non-segment assets consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash, restricted cash, loans receivable and investments and miscellaneous accounts receivable as well as investments in unconsolidated entities. In addition, from time to time, we make secured and unsecured loans and other investments relating to real estate or operators. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates performance of the combined properties in each operating segment and determines how to allocate resources to these segments, in significant part, based on net operating income (“NOI”) and related measures 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.
We also have investments in unconsolidated entities, including through our third-party institutional capital management business, 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”).
The following table summarizes information for our consolidated reportable business segments and non-segment assets for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands):
| Segment | Total NOI (1) | Percentage of Total NOI | Number of Consolidated Properties | |||||||||||||||||
| Senior housing operating portfolio (SHOP) | $ | 417,724 | 41.0 | % | 582 | |||||||||||||||
| Outpatient medical and research portfolio (OM&R) | 291,842 | 28.7 | % | 428 | ||||||||||||||||

______________________________
(1) “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 of net income attributable to common stockholders, as computed in accordance with GAAP, to NOI.
(2) NOI for non-segment includes management fees and promote revenues, net of expenses related to our third-party institutional capital management business, income from loans and investments and various corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable business segments.
We enable exceptional environments that benefit a large and growing aging population. We aim to enhance shareholder value by delivering consistent superior total returns through a strategy of (1) delivering profitable organic growth in senior housing, (2) capturing value creating external growth opportunities focused on senior housing, (3) driving strong cash flow generation throughout our portfolio and (4) preserving and enhancing financial strength, flexibility and liquidity.
Our ability to access capital in a timely and cost-effective manner is critical to the success of our business strategy because it affects our ability to satisfy existing obligations, including the repayment of maturing indebtedness, and to make future investments. Factors such as general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our securities, expectations of our potential future earnings and cash distributions, and the trading price of our common stock impact our access to and cost of external capital. For that reason, we generally attempt to match the long-term duration of our investments in real property with long-term financing through the issuance of shares of our common stock or the incurrence of long-term fixed rate debt.
33
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. Senior housing is expected to benefit from a large and growing aging demographic in the United States, with the 80+ population anticipated to grow by more than 24% through 2029. United States senior housing construction starts are at their lowest point since 2010.
Continual improvement in the performance and growth of our business will also depend on the broader macroeconomic environment, including interest rates, inflation and GDP growth.
See “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the 2023 Annual Report for additional discussion of risks affecting our business.

Other Items
• Following Ardent’s initial public offering, which was consummated in July 2024 (the “Ardent IPO”), we held an approximately 6.5% ownership interest in Ardent. In connection with the Ardent IPO, we entered into a nomination agreement with Ardent, which provides us the right (but not the obligation) to nominate one member of the Ardent Board of Directors for so long as we beneficially own 4.0% or more of the total voting power of Ardent.
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 tenants, operators and managers. 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 tenant, operator or manager. Operations mix measures the percentage of our operating results that is attributed to a particular tenant, operator or manager, geographic location or business model.

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.
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 six months ended June 30, 2024, we had no triple-net lease renewals or expirations without renewal that, in the aggregate, had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations for that period.
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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
36
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 2023 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 2024.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments. Required disclosures include, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount for other segment items (which is the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses and less segment profit or loss) and a description of its composition, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also permits disclosure of more than one measure of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 and expect to have additional disclosures in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires public entities on an annual basis to (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. We are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate Related Disclosures for Investors, which requires registrants to disclose climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. The new rules would be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025. However, in April 2024, the SEC exercised its discretion to stay these rules pending the completion of judicial review of certain consolidated petitions with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in connection with these rules. We are evaluating the impact of this rule on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Results of Operations
As of June 30, 2024, we operated through three reportable business segments: senior housing operating portfolio, outpatient medical and research portfolio and triple-net leased properties. In our SHOP segment, we invest in senior housing communities throughout the United States and Canada and engage operators to operate those communities. In our outpatient medical and research portfolio segment, we primarily acquire, own, develop, lease and manage outpatient medical buildings and research centers throughout the United States. In our triple-net leased properties 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 throughout the United States and the United Kingdom and lease those 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 income from loans and investments and other miscellaneous income and various corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable business segments. Non-segment assets consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash, restricted cash, loans receivable and investments and miscellaneous accounts receivable as well as investments in unconsolidated entities including VIM.
Our chief operating decision maker evaluates performance of the combined properties in each reportable business segment and determines how to allocate resources to those segments, in significant part, based on NOI and related measures for
37
each segment. For further information regarding our reportable business 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 our senior housing communities, such as rental fees related to resident leases, extended health care fees and other ancillary service income. Property-level operating expenses related to our SHOP segment include labor, food, utilities, marketing, management 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 NOI increase in our SHOP segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily driven by positive trends in occupancy and revenue per occupied room in 2024, the addition of communities acquired in our SHOP segment and conversions from our triple-net leased properties to our SHOP segment. The revenue increase is partially offset by higher operating expenses, driven by the additions to our SHOP segment and an increase in occupancy in our same-store portfolio.
The following table compares results of operations for our 477 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.

The following table summarizes results of operations in our outpatient medical and research portfolio segment, including assets sold or classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands).

| NOI | $ | 150,428 | $ | 150,818 | $ | (390) | (0.3) | ||||||||||||||||
In our triple-net leased properties 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 triple-net leased properties segment for real estate tax and insurance expenses that are paid from escrows collected from our tenants.
The NOI decrease in our triple-net leased properties for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily driven by communities that converted to our SHOP segment and dispositions, partially offset by acquisitions and contractual rent escalators in 2024.
Occupancy rates may affect the profitability of our tenants’ operations. For senior housing communities and post-acute properties in our triple-net leased properties segment, occupancy generally reflects average operator-reported unit and bed occupancy, respectively, for the reporting period. Because triple-net financials are delivered to us following the reporting period, occupancy is reported in arrears. The following table sets forth average continuing occupancy rates for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 related to the triple-net leased properties we owned at June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The table excludes non-stabilized properties, properties owned through investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, certain properties for which we do not receive occupancy information and properties acquired or properties that transitioned operators for which we do not have a full quarter of occupancy results.

NOI—Non-Segment
Non-segment NOI includes management fees and promote revenues, net of expenses, related to our third-party institutional capital management business, income from loans and investments and various corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable business segments. The $5.1 million decrease in non-segment NOI for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of a loan to equity in May 2023.
Company Results
Interest and other income
The $3.8 million increase in interest and other income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to interest income earned on cash invested in short-term money market funds.
Interest expense
The $6.0 million increase in interest expense, net of capitalized interest, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to an increase of $8.3 million due to higher effective interest rates. Our weighted average effective interest rate was 4.43% and 4.18% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Capitalized interest was $3.9 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization
The $35.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to a $32.3 million increase in impairments recognized in 2024 primarily related to properties that were classified as held for sale or sold and a $6.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization related to our ownership of additional properties, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization related to properties sold after June 30, 2023.
General, administrative and professional fees
The $3.3 million increase in general, administrative and professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to lower turnover, increased staffing and inflationary increases.
(Loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, net
The $7.2 million change in (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, net for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to $8.3 million of gain recognized in 2023 in connection with the repurchase of outstanding indebtedness in 2023 as a result of cash tender offers.
Transaction, transition and restructuring costs
Transaction, transition and restructuring costs include transition and integration expenses incurred by properties that have undergone operator or business model transitions; costs and expenses relating to mergers, acquisitions, investments, leases, management agreements and similar arrangements, strategic transactions, such as spin-offs, joint ventures, partnerships and minority investments, and other transactions; and costs and expenses related to organizational or other restructuring activities. Transaction, transition and restructuring costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was relatively consistent.
Allowance on loans receivable and investments, net and Gain on foreclosure of real estate
In the second quarter of 2023, in connection with the Company’s equitization of a mezzanine loan, the Company recognized $41.1 million in income composed of the derecognition and reversal of a previously recorded allowance and a gain on foreclosure of real estate. These items did not recur in 2024 resulting in $41.1 million less in income compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 (on the allowance on loans receivable and investments, net and gain on foreclosure of real estate lines).
42
Other (expense) income
Other (expense) income includes the changes in fair value of stock warrants, net expenses or recoveries related to significant disruptive events and other expenses or income. The $26.1 million change in other (expense) income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to a $16.2 million change in the fair value of the remaining Brookdale stock warrants received in connection with the Brookdale Senior Living lease modification in the third quarter of 2020 and a $10.0 million decrease in insurance reimbursements received, net of impairments recognized, for damages caused by significant disruptive events. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we exercised warrants for 1.7 million shares of Brookdale Senior Living, Inc. common stock (“Brookdale Common Stock”) on a cashless basis, resulting in our receipt of 0.9 million shares of Brookdale Common Stock (net of the $3.00 exercise price), which we sold for net cash proceeds of $6.1 million (recorded within operating cashflows in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows). We recognized a $1.0 million net realized loss relative to the fair market value of the warrants as of March 31, 2024 (recorded in Other Expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income). As of June 30, 2024, we continued to hold 14.6 million warrants for Brookdale Common Stock, which are exercisable at any time prior to December 31, 2025 and have an exercise price of $3.00 per share. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized unrealized loss of $0.3 million and unrealized gain of $15.9 million, respectively, relating to the change in fair value of the Brookdale stock warrants. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the remaining stock warrants was $61.1 million, which was $33.0 million higher than the value at the grant date.
(Loss) income from unconsolidated entities
The $32.9 million change in (loss) income from unconsolidated entities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to a $33.5 million gain recognized upon the sale of approximately 24% of our 9.8% ownership interest in Ardent to a third-party investor in May 2023.
Gain on real estate dispositions
The $48.3 million increase in gain on real estate dispositions for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to a net gain of $49.7 million recognized on the sale of 32 properties in 2024, partially offset by a net gain of $1.4 million recognized in 2023 on the sale of four properties.
Income tax (expense) benefit
The $7.8 million income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to the enactment of Bill C-59 in Canada, which limits the amount of interest expense we can deduct with respect to our Canadian entities. Bill C-59 is retrospectively applied to October 1, 2023 and the cumulative effect tax of such interest limitation was recognized in the current quarter. The impact of the interest limitation was partially offset by reversal of valuation allowances recorded against the net deferred tax assets of certain of our TRS entities and losses in certain of our TRS entities. The $9.8 million income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to losses in certain of our TRS entities as well as an $8.0 million benefit from internal restructurings of our U.S. TRS entities.

The NOI increase in our triple-net leased properties for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily driven by acquisitions and contractual rent escalators, partially offset by rental income from communities that converted to our SHOP segment and additional rental income received in 2023.

The NOI increase in our same-store triple-net leased properties segment for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily driven by contractual rent escalators, partially offset by additional rental income received in 2023.
NOI—Non-Segment
Non-segment NOI includes management fees and promote revenues, net of expenses, related to our third-party institutional capital management business, income from loans and investments and various corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable business segments. The $17.4 million decrease in non-segment NOI for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of a loan to equity in May 2023.
Company Results
Interest and other income
The $8.8 million increase in interest and other income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to interest income earned on cash invested in short-term money market funds.
Interest expense
The $27.9 million increase in interest expense, net of capitalized interest, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to an increase of $16.9 million due to higher effective interest rates and an increase of $14.9 million due to higher debt balances. Our weighted average debt outstanding was $13.4 billion and $12.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our weighted average effective interest rate was 4.37% and 4.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Capitalized interest for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $6.6 million and $5.6 million, respectively.
47
Depreciation and amortization
The $53.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 is primarily due to a $33.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization related to our ownership of additional properties and a $30.2 million increase in impairments recognized in 2024 primarily related to properties that were classified as held for sale or sold, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization related to properties sold after June 30, 2023.
General, administrative and professional fees
The $7.3 million increase in general, administrative and professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to lower turnover, increased staffing and inflationary increases.
(Loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, net
The $7.5 million change in (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, net for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to $8.3 million of gain recognized in 2023 in connection with the repurchase of outstanding indebtedness in 2023 as a result of cash tender offers.
Transaction, transition and restructuring costs
Transaction, transition and restructuring costs include transition and integration expenses incurred by properties that have undergone operator or business model transitions; costs and expenses relating to mergers, acquisitions, investments, leases, management agreements and similar arrangements, strategic transactions, such as spin-offs, joint ventures, partnerships and minority investments, and other transactions; and costs and expenses related to organizational or other restructuring activities. The $3.1 million increase in transaction, transition and restructuring costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to integration costs for properties acquired and transition costs in connection with properties that have undergone operator or business model transitions.
Allowance on loans receivable and investments, net and Gain on foreclosure of real estate
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, in connection with the Company’s equitization of a mezzanine loan, the Company recognized $41.1 million in income composed of the derecognition and reversal of a previously recorded allowance and a gain on foreclosure of real estate. These items did not recur in 2024 resulting in $41.1 million less in income compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 (on the allowance on loans receivable and investments, net and gain on foreclosure of real estate lines).
Shareholder relations matters
Shareholder relations matters for the six months ended June 30, 2024 relates to proxy advisory costs related to our response to a proxy campaign associated with the Company’s 2024 annual meeting. There were no such costs incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Other (expense) income
Other (expense) income includes the changes in fair value of stock warrants, net expenses or recoveries related to significant disruptive events and other expenses or income. The $17.0 million change in other (expense) income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to a $7.9 million change in the fair value of the remaining stock warrants received in connection with the Brookdale Senior Living lease modification in the third quarter of 2020 and a $8.0 million change in insurance reimbursements received, net of impairments recognized, for damages caused by significant disruptive events. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized unrealized gains of $9.0 million and $16.8 million, respectively, relating to the change in fair value of the Brookdale stock warrants. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the stock warrants was $61.1 million, which was $33.0 million higher than the value at the grant date.
48
(Loss) income from unconsolidated entities
The $35.7 million change in income (loss) from unconsolidated entities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to a $33.5 million gain recognized upon the sale of approximately 24% of our 9.8% ownership interest in Ardent to a third-party investor in May 2023.
Gain on real estate dispositions
The $38.4 million increase in gain on real estate dispositions was primarily due to a net gain of $50.0 million recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024 for the sale of 48 properties (one of which was vacant), partially offset by a net gain of $11.6 million in 2023 for the sale of 15 properties (five of which were vacant).
Income tax (expense) benefit
The $4.8 million of income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to the enactment of Bill C-59 in Canada, which limits the amount of interest expense we can deduct with respect to our Canadian entities. Bill C-59 is retrospectively applied to October 1, 2023 and the cumulative effect tax of such interest limitation was recognized in the current quarter. The impact of the interest limitation was partially offset by reversal of valuation allowances recorded against the net deferred tax assets of certain of our TRS entities and losses in certain of our TRS entities. The $12.6 million of income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to losses in certain of our TRS entities as well as an $8.0 million benefit from internal restructurings of our U.S. TRS entities.
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 real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. 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.
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 Funds From Operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”) and 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 to the operating performance of other real estate companies across periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by non-recurring items and other non-operational events such as transactions and litigation. In some cases, 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.
49
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) transaction, transition and restructuring costs; (b) amortization of other intangibles; (c) the impact of expenses related to asset impairment and valuation allowances; (d) 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; (e) the non-cash impact of income tax benefits or expenses; (f) the non-cash impact of changes to our executive equity compensation plan; (g) non-cash charges related to leases; (h) the financial impact of contingent consideration; (i) gains and losses on derivatives and changes in the fair value of financial instruments; (j) gains and losses on non-real estate dispositions and other normalizing items related to noncontrolling interests and unconsolidated entities; (k) net expenses or recoveries related to significant disruptive events; and (l) other items set forth in the Normalized FFO reconciliation included herein.
The following table summarizes our FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands). Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased over the same period in 2023 due to increased net operating income from our properties led by our SHOP reportable business segment as a result of increased revenues driven by positive trends in occupancy and revenue per occupied room, partially offset by higher interest expense.

NOI
We also 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 with those of other real estate companies and 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.

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 business 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 outpatient medical and research portfolio and triple-net leased properties reportable business segments will be included in same-store once substantial completion of work has occurred for the full period in both periods presented. Our senior housing operating portfolio and triple-net leased properties that have undergone operator or business model transitions will be included in same-store once operating under consistent operating structures for the full period in both periods presented.
Properties are excluded from same-store if they are: (i) sold, classified as held for sale or properties whose operations were classified as discontinued operations in accordance with GAAP; (ii) impacted by significant disruptive events such as flood or fire; (iii) for SHOP, those properties that are currently undergoing a significant disruptive redevelopment; (iv) for our outpatient medical and research portfolio and triple-net leased properties reportable business 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 triple-net leased properties reportable business 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.
51
To eliminate the impact of exchange rate movements, all portfolio performance-based disclosures assume constant exchange rates across comparable periods, using the following methodology: the current period’s results are shown in actual reported USD, while prior comparison period’s results are adjusted and converted to USD based on the average exchange rate for the current period.
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, 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 with third parties) and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program. However, an inability to access liquidity through multiple capital sources concurrently could have a material adverse effect on us.
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 six months ended June 30, 2024, our material contractual obligations decreased primarily due to the repayment of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Senior Notes due 2024, $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2024, $367.9 million (C$500.0 million) unsecured term loan facility due 2025 and $53.4 million (C$73.0 million) aggregate principal amount of 2.80% Senior Notes, Series E due 2024, partially offset by.the issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2034 and $475.3 million (C$650.0 million) aggregate principal amount of 5.10% Senior Notes, Series J due 2029. See “Note 10 – Senior Notes Payable and Other Debt” 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 June 30, 2024, we have a $2.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility priced at SOFR plus 0.10% applied in connection with the transition from LIBOR to SOFR (“Adjusted 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 periods of six months each. The revolving credit facility also includes an accordion feature that permits us to increase our aggregate borrowing capacity thereunder to up to $3.75 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase.
As of June 30, 2024, we had $2.7 billion of undrawn capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility with $3.2 million outstanding and an additional $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, Ventas Realty, Limited Partnership (“Ventas Realty”), may issue from time to time unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $1.0 billion. The notes are sold under customary terms in the U.S. commercial paper note market and are ranked pari passu with all of Ventas Realty’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ventas, Inc. As of June 30, 2024, we had no borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program.
52
Ventas Realty has a $500.0 million unsecured term loan priced at Adjusted SOFR plus 0.85%, which is subject to adjustment based on Ventas Realty’s debt ratings. This term loan is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ventas, Inc. It matures in June 2027 and includes an accordion feature that permits Ventas Realty to increase the aggregate borrowings thereunder to up to $1.25 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase.
Ventas Realty has a $200.0 million unsecured term loan priced at Adjusted SOFR plus 0.85%, which is subject to adjustment based on Ventas Realty’s debt ratings. This term loan is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ventas, Inc. It matures in February 2027 and includes an accordion feature that permits Ventas Realty to increase the aggregate borrowings thereunder to up to $500.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repaid and extinguished a C$500.0 million or $367.9 million unsecured term loan facility priced at Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) plus 0.90% that would otherwise have matured in January 2025. We also repaid C$73.0 million or $53.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2.80% Senior Notes, Series E due 2024 at maturity.
As of June 30, 2024, our $100.0 million uncommitted line for standby letters of credit had an outstanding balance of $14.7 million. The agreement governing the line contains certain customary covenants and, under its terms, we are required to pay a commission on each outstanding letter of credit at a fixed rate.
Exchangeable Senior Notes
In June 2023, Ventas Realty 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 are senior, unsecured obligations of Ventas Realty and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by Ventas, Inc. The Exchangeable Notes bear 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 mature on June 1, 2026, unless earlier exchanged, redeemed or repurchased. As of June 30, 2024, we had $862.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes outstanding. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized approximately $8.1 million and $16.2 million respectively, of contractual interest expense and amortization of issuance costs of $1.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, related to the Exchangeable Notes. Unamortized issuance costs of $13.7 million as of June 30, 2024 were recorded as an offset to senior notes payable and other debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable at an initial exchange rate of 18.2460 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $54.81 per share of common stock). The initial exchange rate is subject to adjustment, including in the event of the payment of a quarterly dividend in excess of $0.45 per share, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. Upon exchange of the Exchangeable Notes, Ventas Realty will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes to be exchanged and pay or deliver (or cause to be delivered), as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at Ventas Realty’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its exchange obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes being exchanged. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2026, the Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable at the option of the noteholders only upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods described in the indenture governing the Exchangeable Notes. On or after March 1, 2026, until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable at the option of the noteholders at any time regardless of these conditions or periods.
Senior Notes
In February 2024, Ventas Canada Finance Limited (“Ventas Canada”) issued and sold $475.3 million (C$650.0 million) aggregate principal amount of 5.10% Senior Notes, Series J due 2029 in a private placement. The proceeds were primarily used to repay a $367.9 million (C$500.0 million) unsecured term loan facility due 2025.
In April and May 2024, we repaid $800.0 million senior notes consisting of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Senior Notes due 2024 and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2024 at maturity primarily with cash on hand and through our commercial paper program.
In April 2024, we repaid $53.4 million (C$73.0 million) aggregate principal amount of 2.80% Senior Notes, Series E due 2024 at maturity with cash on hand.
53
In May 2024, Ventas Realty issued and sold $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2034 in a registered public offering. The proceeds were primarily used to repay balances outstanding under our commercial paper program.
Mortgages
In February 2024, we entered into a C$52.8 million fixed rate mortgage loan, which accrues interest at 4.644%, matures in 2029 and is secured by one senior housing community in Canada.
In April 2024, we entered into an aggregate C$103.0 million fixed rate mortgage loans, which accrue interest at a blended rate of 4.90%, mature in 2029 and are secured by two senior housing communities in Canada.
In May 2024, we entered into a $52.3 million fixed rate mortgage loan, which accrues interest at 6.02%, matures in 2034 and is secured by one outpatient medical building in California.
Equity Offerings
From time to time, we may sell our common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program (“ATM program”). During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 10.4 million shares of our common stock under our ATM program for gross proceeds of $499.4 million, representing an average price of $47.87 per share. As of June 30, 2024, the remaining amount available under our ATM program for future sales of common stock was $500.6 million.
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.
Periodically, we enter into and designate interest rate 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 into earnings over the life of the related debt, except where a material amount is deemed to be ineffective, which would be immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
As of June 30, 2024, our variable rate debt obligations of $0.7 billion reflect, in part, the effect of $142.3 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities in March 2027, that effectively convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt.
As of June 30, 2024, our fixed rate debt obligations of $12.5 billion reflect, in part, the effect of $526.9 million and C$643.8 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities ranging from February 2025 to April 2031, in each case, that effectively convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt.
2024 Activity
In June through August 2024, we entered into an aggregate $200.0 million treasury locks to hedge interest rate risk on future debt issuances. The treasury locks expire in June and July 2025 and fix the 10-year U.S. treasury at 4.1%.
54
Dividends
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we declared a dividend of $0.45 per share of our common stock in each of the first and second quarter. 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 2024.
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 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.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities increased $47.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to higher property NOI in 2024, partially offset by higher interest expense and costs related to shareholder relations matters in 2024.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $283.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to higher acquisition volume and capital expenditures in 2024, partially offset by higher disposition volume in 2024.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities decreased $252.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to higher issuances of common stock and a decrease in our borrowings under our commercial paper program in 2024, partially offset by lower debt issuances in 2024.
Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance as of June 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2023 was $404.9 million higher primarily due to proceeds raised from issuances of common stock and proceeds from sales of assets which were held in short-term investments.
55
Capital Expenditures
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 also expect to fund capital expenditures related to our SHOP and outpatient medical and research portfolio segments with the cash flows from the properties or through additional borrowings. 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 with third parties) 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.
We are party to certain agreements that obligate us to develop senior housing communities, outpatient medical buildings or research centers funded through capital that we and, in certain circumstances, our joint venture partners provide. As of June 30, 2024, we had five active and committed projects pursuant to these agreements, including three projects that are unconsolidated.
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.
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 joint venture and any outstanding loans receivable. In addition, we have certain properties which serve as collateral for debt that is owed by a previous owner of certain of our facilities, as described under “Note 10 – Senior Notes Payable and Other Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our risk of loss for these certain properties is limited to the outstanding debt balance plus penalties, if any. Further, we use financial derivative instruments to hedge interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate exposure. Finally, as of June 30, 2024, we had $15.6 million outstanding letters of credit obligations. We have no other material off-balance sheet arrangements that we expect would materially affect our liquidity and capital resources except those described above.
Guarantor and Issuer Financial Information
Ventas, Inc. has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligation to pay principal and interest with respect to the outstanding senior notes, including the Exchangeable Notes, issued by our 100% owned subsidiary, Ventas Realty. None of our other subsidiaries is obligated with respect to Ventas Realty’s outstanding senior notes.

56
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 our payment guarantees with respect to Ventas Realty’s and Ventas Canada’s senior notes.
The following summarizes our guarantor and issuer balance sheet and statement of income information as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 (in thousands) for each of Ventas Realty, as issuer of certain notes registered under the Exchange Act, and Ventas, Inc., on an unconsolidated basis, as guarantor of such notes:

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.
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates with respect to borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, commercial paper program and our unsecured term loans, certain of our mortgage loans that are floating rate obligations, mortgage loans receivable that bear interest at floating 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.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our secured and non-mortgage loans receivable, based on our estimates of current prevailing rates for comparable loans, was $64.6 million and $53.1 million, 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):

The variable rate debt as of June 30, 2024 in the table above reflects, in part, the effect of $142.3 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities on March 2027, that effectively convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. In addition, the fixed rate debt as of June 30, 2024 in the table above reflects, in part, the effect of $526.9 million and C$643.8 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities ranging from February 2025 to April 2031, in each case, that effectively convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt.
The decrease in our outstanding variable rate debt at June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 is primarily attributable to the repayment of $367.9 million (C$500.0 million) unsecured term loan.
Our outstanding fixed rate debt at June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 was relatively consistent.
59
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 June 30, 2024 of $739.7 million, interest expense on an annualized basis would increase by approximately $7.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted common share.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our joint venture partners’ aggregate share of total consolidated debt was $302.2 million and $297.5 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 portion was $637.5 million and $575.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
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 six months ended June 30, 2024 (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 Normalized FFO per share for the six months ended June 30, 2024 would decrease or increase as applicable, by less than $0.01 per share or less than 1%. We will continue to mitigate these risks through a layered approach to hedging looking out for the next year and continual assessment of our foreign operational capital structure. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that any such fluctuations will not have an effect on our earnings.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2024, at the reasonable assurance level.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2024 (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
