CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR) (“Ventas” or the “Company”) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

CEO Remarks

“We are pleased to deliver strong second quarter results with broad-based organic property growth across our diverse portfolio,” said Debra A. Cafaro, Ventas Chairman and CEO.

“All our businesses are contributing positively to total company performance. We demonstrated the significant competitive advantage of our scale and access to attractively priced capital across markets, providing us with outstanding liquidity and reinforcing our financial strength and flexibility. The performance of the properties underpinning our former mezzanine loan is off to a positive start, as our experienced and active asset management teams focus on driving performance and value in that portfolio.

“In SHOP, we continue to strongly believe in and experience the multiyear growth and recovery cycle. Growth in the quarter was led by outsized performance in U.S. assisted living, complemented by our highly occupied Canadian portfolio. We are actively managing our SHOP portfolio with our proven playbook to maximize performance.

“Our second quarter results underscore the growth in our diversified enterprise that serves a large and growing aging population, and we are pleased to confirm our full year enterprise outlook,” Cafaro concluded.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights

• Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders (“Net Income”) per share of $0.26

• Normalized Funds From Operations* (“Normalized FFO”) per share of $0.75

• Total Company Net Operating Income* (“NOI”) year-over-year growth of 7.9%. Total Company Same-Store Cash NOI* year-over-year growth of 7.0%

• On a Same-Store Cash NOI* basis, the Company’s senior housing operating portfolio (“SHOP”) grew 14% year-over-year led by the U.S. which grew 19% year-over-year. SHOP Same-Store Cash NOI growth was driven principally by REVPOR growth of 6.6% and moderating operating expense growth, which resulted in margin expansion of 160 basis points

Equitized Loan Portfolio Transaction

On May 1, 2023, Ventas took ownership of the properties that secured the Company’s mezzanine loan to Santerre Health Investors (the “Santerre Mezzanine Loan”) by converting the outstanding principal amount of the Santerre Mezzanine Loan to equity, with no additional consideration being paid. These properties consist of a diverse pool of outpatient medical buildings, SHOP communities and triple-net leased healthcare facilities in the United States (such assets, collectively the “Equitized Loan Portfolio”).

On May 1, 2023, the fair value of the Equitized Loan Portfolio, as determined by a third-party appraisal, was estimated at $1.566 billion. In connection with taking ownership of the Equitized Loan Portfolio, the Company recognized $41 million in asset and liability valuation-related increases to Attributable Net Income composed of a $29 million gain and a $12 million reversal of a previously recorded CECL reserve on the Santerre Mezzanine Loan, which increases are included in Nareit FFO and excluded from Normalized FFO in the second quarter.

Financial Strength and Flexibility

Ventas’s long-term success is supported by its scale, strong liquidity and access to multiple sources of attractive capital. Year to date, the Company’s active capital markets activities have totaled approximately $2.4 billion, which has been used to refinance 2023 and 2024 maturing debt and improve its floating rate debt exposure to 10% of total consolidated debt, while enhancing its liquidity at June 30, 2023 to over $2.7 billion. Selected highlights of year-to-date successful capital markets activity include:

• Ventas Realty, LP issued $862.5 million of 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026 in June.
• Ventas Canada Finance Limited issued CAD $600 million of 5.398% Senior Notes due 2028 in April, and repurchased, at a discount to par, approximately CAD $527 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.80% Senior Notes due April 2024 and approximately CAD $87 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.125% Senior Notes due September 2024.
• In July, Ventas entered into a $427 million 10-year mortgage loan, which (after Ventas completes its contemplated purchase of a 7.5% tranche of the original principal balance of the loan) will result in a $395 million net mortgage loan at an all-in expected weighted average cash rate of 5.5%.
• The Company issued and sold under its “at-the-market” equity offering program (“ATM program”) a total of 2.3 million shares of common stock year-to-date at an average gross issuance price of $47.89 per share, resulting in approximately $110 million in gross proceeds.

Dispositions Including Partial Sale of Ardent Health Services Equity (“Ardent OpCo”)

During the second quarter, Ventas sold approximately 24% of its successful investment in Ardent OpCo for approximately $50 million in total cash proceeds. The valuation on the partial sale represents a greater than 4x equity multiple versus Ventas’s original investment basis. After the sale, Ventas retains an approximately 7.5% equity investment in Ardent OpCo. As a result of the sale, the Company recognized in Attributable Net Income and Nareit FFO a gain on sale of approximately $34 million in the second quarter, which is excluded from Normalized FFO.

In addition, the Company has received approximately $155 million year-to-date in disposition and loan repayment proceeds. The Company now expects to generate capital recycling proceeds of $450 million in 2023, which is an increase from the previous guidance for $300 million of capital recycling proceeds, principally composed of exercised purchase options and skilled nursing facilities from its Equitized Loan Portfolio.

(j) the recognition of reserves, allowances, credit losses or impairment charges are inherently uncertain, may increase or decrease in the future and may not represent or reflect the ultimate value of, or loss that we ultimately realize with respect to, the relevant assets, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition;

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors deem presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For that reason, the Company considers Nareit FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance of an equity REIT. The Company believes 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 Nareit 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), Nareit 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. The Company believes that Normalized FFO is useful because it allows investors, analysts and Company management to compare the Company’s operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies 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, the Company provides information about identified non-cash components of Nareit FFO and Normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and Company management to assess the impact of those items on the Company’s financial results.

Nareit Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders (“Nareit FFO”)

The Company uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) definition of FFO. Nareit defines FFO as net income attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate property, including 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.

Normalized FFO

The Company defines Normalized FFO as Nareit FFO excluding the following income and expense items, without duplication: (a) transaction expenses and deal costs, including transaction, integration and severance-related costs and expenses, and amortization of intangibles, in each case net of noncontrolling interests’ share of these items and including Ventas’ share of these items from unconsolidated entities; (b) the impact of expenses related to asset impairment and valuation allowances, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees or additional costs, expenses, discounts, make-whole payments, penalties or premiums incurred as a result of early retirement or payment of the Company’s debt; (c) the non-cash effect of income tax benefits or expenses, the non-cash impact of changes to the Company’s executive equity compensation plan, derivative transactions that have non-cash mark-to-market impacts on the Company’s income statement and non-cash charges related to leases; (d) the financial impact of contingent consideration; (e) gains and losses for non-operational foreign currency hedge agreements and changes in the fair value of financial instruments; (f) gains and losses on non-real estate dispositions and other items related to unconsolidated entities; (g) net expenses or recoveries related to materially disruptive events; and (h) other items set forth in the Normalized FFO reconciliation included herein.

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

The Company considers NOI and Cash NOI as important supplemental measures because they allow investors, analysts and the Company’s management to assess its unlevered property-level operating results and to compare its operating results with those of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis.

NOI

The Company defines NOI as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and third party capital management expenses.

Cash NOI

The Company defines Cash NOI as NOI for its reportable business segments (i.e., SHOP, Outpatient Medical and Research Portfolio and Triple-Net), determined on a Constant Currency basis, excluding the impact of, without duplication (i) non-cash items such as straight-line rent and the amortization of lease intangibles, (ii) sold assets, assets held for sale, development properties not yet operational and land parcels and (iii) other items set forth in the Cash NOI reconciliation included herein. In certain cases, results may be adjusted to reflect the receipt of cash payments, fees, and other consideration that is not fully recognized as NOI in the period.

Same-store

The Company defines 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 the Company may include selected properties that otherwise meet the same-store criteria if they are included in substantially all of, but not a full, period for one or both of the comparison periods, and in the Company’s judgment such inclusion provides a more meaningful presentation of its segment performance. Newly acquired development properties and recently developed or redeveloped properties in the Company’s 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 the 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. SHOP and triple-net leased properties that have undergone operator or business model transitions will be included in same-store once operating under consistent operating structures for the full period in both periods presented.

Properties are excluded from same-store if they are: (i) sold, classified as held for sale or properties whose operations were classified as discontinued operations in accordance with GAAP; (ii) impacted by materially disruptive events such as flood or fire; (iii) for SHOP, those properties that are currently undergoing a materially disruptive redevelopment; (iv) for the 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.

Constant Currency

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.
