(1)		The information regarding DHC’s SHOP segment results for February and March 2024 reflects preliminary estimates with respect to certain results of DHC for such periods, based on currently available information. Because the quarterly financial close process and review for these periods is not yet complete, DHC’s final results upon completion of its quarterly close process and review may vary from these preliminary estimates.
(2)		Previously, average monthly rate was calculated as average daily rate (revenue divided by occupied days) multiplied by 30 days. Retroactively to January 2023, we are now calculating the average monthly rate as the average daily rate multiplied by the exact number of days in the month. This change in methodology is now largely consistent with changes in revenue and occupancy as they are based on the same time period.
(3)		The calculation of NOI shown excludes certain components of net income (loss) in order to provide results that are more closely related to DHC's property level results of operations. DHC defines NOI as income from its real estate less its property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that DHC records as depreciation and amortization. DHC uses NOI to evaluate individual and company-wide property level performance. Other real estate companies and real estate investment trusts, or REITs, may calculate NOI differently than DHC does.
