Executive SummaryHealthpeak Properties, Inc. is aStandard & Poor's ("S&P") 500 company that acquires, develops, owns, leases and manages healthcare real estate acrossthe United States ("U.S."). We are aMaryland corporation and qualify as a self-administered REIT. We are headquartered inIrvine, California , with additional offices inNashville andSan Francisco . We invest in a diversified portfolio of high-quality healthcare properties across our three core asset classes of senior housing, life science, and medical office real estate. Our senior housing properties are either operated under triple-net leases in our senior housing triple-net segment or through RIDEA structures in our senior housing operating portfolio ("SHOP") and continuing care retirement community ("CCRC") segments. Under the life science and medical office segments, we invest through the acquisition, development and management of life science buildings and medical office buildings. We have other non-reportable segments that are comprised primarily of hospital properties and debt investments. 34

AtMarch 31, 2020 , our portfolio of investments, including properties in our unconsolidated joint ventures, consisted of interests in 636 properties. The following table summarizes information for our reportable segments for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands): Percentage of Total Total Portfolio Portfolio Adjusted Segment Adjusted NOI(1) NOI(1) Number of Properties Senior housing triple-net $ 29,255 10 % 64 SHOP 41,010 14 % 141 CCRC 30,469 10 % 17 Life science 94,367 32 % 134 Medical office 87,382 30 % 269 Other non-reportable 12,099 4 % 11 Totals $ 294,582 100 % 636

(1) Total Portfolio metrics include results of operations from disposed properties and properties that transitioned segments through the disposition or transition date. See Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional information regarding Adjusted NOI and see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of Adjusted NOI by segment to net income (loss). For a description of our significant activities during 2020, see Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-2020 Transaction Overview" in this report. We invest in and manage our real estate portfolio for the long-term to maximize benefit to our stockholders and support the growth of our dividends. Our strategy consists of four core elements: (i) Our real estate: Our portfolio is grounded in high-quality properties
in desirable locations. We focus on three purposely selected private
pay asset classes, senior housing, life science and medical office, to
provide stability through inevitable market cycles. (ii) Our financials: We maintain a strong investment-grade balance sheet
with ample liquidity as well as long-term fixed-rate debt financing
with staggered maturities to reduce our exposure to interest-rate volatility and refinancing risk.
(iii) Our partnerships: We work with leading healthcare companies, operators
and service providers and are responsive to their space and capital needs. We provide high-quality management services to encourage tenants to renew, expand and relocate into our properties, which drives increased occupancy, rental rates, and property values.
(iv) Our platform: We have a people-first culture that we believe attracts,
develops and retains top talent. We continually strive to create and maintain an industry-leading platform, with systems and tools that allow us to effectively and efficiently manage our assets and investment activity. COVID-19 Update Beginning in late 2019, a novel strain of Coronavirus ("COVID-19") began to spread throughout the world, includingthe United States , ultimately being declared a pandemic by theWorld Health Organization . Over the past several months, global health concerns and increased efforts to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic have prompted federal, state, and local governments to restrict normal daily activities, and have resulted in travel bans, quarantines, "shelter-in-place" orders requiring individuals to remain in their homes other than to conduct essential services or activities, as well as business limitations and shutdowns. These health and safety measures, which may remain in place for a significant amount of time, are placing a substantial strain on the business operations of many of our tenants, operators, and borrowers. SHOP, CCRC, and Senior Housing Triple-Net Within our SHOP and CCRC properties, we expect occupancy rates to decline due to a reduction in new tenant move-ins due to "shelter-in-place" orders, stricter move-in criteria, lower inquiry volumes, and reduced in-person tours, as well as incidences of COVID-19 outbreaks at our facilities or the perception that outbreaks may occur. Outbreaks, which directly affect our residents and the employees at our senior housing facilities, could materially and adversely disrupt operations, as well as cause significant reputational harm to us, our operators, and our tenants. As ofApril 30, 2020 , we had confirmed resident COVID-19 cases at 54 of our 222 senior housing properties. Our senior housing property operators are also facing significant cost increases as a result of higher demands for staffing, the implementation of increased health and safety measures and protocols, and increased usage and inventory of critical medical supplies and personal protective equipment. At our SHOP and CCRC facilities, we bear these significant cost increases. 35
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
We also temporarily suspended development and redevelopment projects in the greaterSan Francisco andBoston areas as a result of "shelter-in-place" orders as well as across our senior housing portfolio in connection with state and federal guidelines. Although some of these development and redevelopment projects have been allowed to restart, future local, state or federal orders could cause us to re-suspend construction. Other projects remain suspended and we do not know when we will be able to restart construction. In locations where construction continues, construction workers are following applicable guidelines, including appropriate social distancing, limitations on large group gatherings in close proximity, and increased sanitation efforts, which may slow the pace of construction. Furthermore, our planned dispositions may not occur within the expected time or at all because of buyer terminations or withdrawals related to the pandemic, capital constraints or other factors relating to the pandemic. Medical Office Portfolio Within our medical office portfolio, sinceMarch 2020 , many physician practices have discontinued nonessential surgeries and procedures due to "shelter-in-place" orders and other health and safety measures, which has negatively impacted their cash flows. However, we have also seen a slight increase in new leases and lease renewal requests in March and April and we expect that planned move-outs will be delayed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is expected to slightly increase retention in this portfolio. We have implemented a deferred rent program for May andJune 2020 that is limited to certain non-health system and non-hospital tenants in good standing, which will impact our cash flows during those months, although we are requiring that the deferred rent be repaid ratably over the remaining months until the end of 2020. We are also experiencing and expect to continue to experience a decline in leasing activity through the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Life Science Portfolio Within our life science portfolio, we have numerous tenants that are working tirelessly to address critical research and testing needs in the fight against COVID-19. We are focused on providing our tenants with the necessary space to complete their critical work and are in continuous contact with our tenants regarding how we can help them meet their needs. However, within our life science portfolio, we are experiencing and expect to continue to experience a decline in leasing activity through the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of governmental restrictions on business activities, particularly in the greaterSan Francisco andBoston areas, we also temporarily suspended development, redevelopment, and tenant improvement projects at many of our life science properties and, in regions where we are able to continue such projects because they are considered "essential" (such asSan Diego ), we are experiencing time delays as a result of the implementation of health and safety protocols related to social distancing and proper hygiene and sanitization. Liquidity Although Moody's changed its outlook on our long term issuer and senior unsecured debt ratings from "stable" to "negative" inMarch 2020 , we believe that we are well positioned to manage the COVID-19 pandemic and measures to slow its spread while working closely with our tenants, operators, and borrowers as they navigate the pandemic. We had approximately$3.0 billion of liquidity available, including borrowing capacity under our unsecured revolving line of credit facility and cash and cash equivalents, as ofApril 30, 2020 . While the change in outlook from Moody's may ultimately lead to a downgrade in our credit rating, which would impact our cost of borrowing, we believe we continue to have access to the unsecured debt markets, and we could also seek to enter into one or more secured debt financings or issue additional securities, including under our 2020 ATM Program (as defined below), to fund future operating costs, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or dispositions, although no assurances can be made in this regard. Future Rent Collections The impact of COVID-19 on the ability of our tenants to pay rent in the future is currently unknown. We have, and will continue to monitor the credit quality of each of our tenants and write-off straight-line rent and accounts receivable as uncollectible in the future, as necessary. In the event that we conclude that either straight-line rent or accounts receivable are not probable of collection in the future, such amounts will be written off, which could have a material impact on our future results of operations. Employee Update We have taken, and will continue to take, proactive measures to provide for the well-being of our workforce. We have maximized our systems infrastructure as well as virtual and remote working technologies for our employees, including our executive team, to ensure productivity and connectivity internally, as well as with key third-party relationships. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results will depend on future developments, including the duration, severity, and spread of the pandemic, health and safety actions taken to contain its spread, any possible resurgence of COVID-19 that may occur after the initial outbreak subsides, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume within the markets in which we operate, each of which are highly uncertain at this time and outside of our control. See "Item 1A, Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding the risks we face as result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 36

Dividends
The following table summarizes our common stock cash dividends declared in 2020: Amount Dividend Declaration Date Record Date Per Share Payment Date January 30 February 18$ 0.37 February 28 April 30 May 8 0.37 May 19 Results of Operations We evaluate our business and allocate resources among our reportable business segments: (i) senior housing triple-net, (ii) SHOP, (iii) CCRC, (iv) life science, and (v) medical office. Our senior housing facilities, including CCRCs, are managed utilizing triple-net leases and RIDEA structures. Under the life science and medical office segments, we invest through the acquisition and development of life science facilities and MOBs, which generally require a greater level of property management. We have other non-reportable segments that are comprised primarily of our debt investments and hospital properties. We evaluate performance based upon: (i) property net operating income from continuing operations ("NOI") and (ii) Adjusted NOI (Cash NOI) in each segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 filed with theU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as updated by Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Net Operating Income NOI and Adjusted NOI are non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") supplemental financial measures used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate. NOI is defined as real estate revenues (inclusive of rental and related revenues, resident fees and services, and income from direct financing leases and exclusive of interest income), less property level operating expenses (which exclude transition costs); NOI excludes all other financial statement amounts included in net income (loss) as presented in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Adjusted NOI is calculated as NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-line rents, DFL non-cash interest, amortization of market lease intangibles, termination fees, actuarial reserves for insurance claims that have been incurred but not reported, and the impact of deferred community fee income and expense. NOI and Adjusted NOI include our share of income (loss) generated by unconsolidated joint ventures and exclude noncontrolling interests' share of income (loss) generated by consolidated joint ventures. Adjusted NOI is oftentimes referred to as "Cash NOI." Management believes NOI and Adjusted NOI are important supplemental measured because they provides relevant and useful information by reflecting only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the property level and presenting them on an unlevered basis. We use NOI and Adjusted NOI to make decisions about resource allocations, to assess and compare property level performance, and to evaluate our Same-Store ("SS") performance, as described below. We believe that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI and Adjusted NOI. NOI and Adjusted NOI should not be viewed as alternative measures of operating performance to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP since they do not reflect various excluded items. Further, our definitions of NOI and Adjusted NOI may not be comparable to the definitions used by other REITs or real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and Adjusted NOI. For a reconciliation of NOI and Adjusted NOI to net income (loss) by segment, refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating expenses generally relate to leased medical office and life science properties, as well as SHOP and CCRC facilities. We generally recover all or a portion of our leased medical office and life science property expenses through tenant recoveries. We present expenses as operating or general and administrative based on the underlying nature of the expense. Same-Store Same-Store NOI and Adjusted (Cash) NOI information allows us to evaluate the performance of our property portfolio under a consistent population by eliminating changes in the composition of our consolidated portfolio of properties. Same-Store Adjusted NOI excludes amortization of deferred revenue from tenant-funded improvements and certain non-property specific operating expenses that are allocated to each operating segment on a consolidated basis. 38
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Properties are included in Same-Store once they are stabilized for the full period in both comparison periods. Newly acquired operating assets are generally considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up (typically when the tenant(s) control(s) the physical use of at least 80% of the space) or 12 months from the acquisition date. Newly completed developments and redevelopments are considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up or 24 months from the date the property is placed in service. Properties that experience a change in reporting structure, such as a transition from a triple-net lease to a RIDEA reporting structure, are considered stabilized after 12 months in operations under a consistent reporting structure. A property is removed from Same-Store when it is classified as held for sale, sold, placed into redevelopment, experiences a casualty event that significantly impacts operations, a change in reporting structure (such as triple-net to SHOP) or operator transition has been agreed to, or a significant tenant relocates from a Same-Store property to a non Same-Store property and that change results in a corresponding increase in revenue. For a reconciliation of Same-Store to total portfolio Adjusted NOI and other relevant disclosures by segment, refer to our Segment Analysis below. Funds From Operations ("FFO") FFO encompasses NAREIT FFO and FFO as Adjusted, each of which is described in detail below. We believe FFO applicable to common shares, diluted FFO applicable to common shares, and diluted FFO per common share are important supplemental non-GAAP measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets utilizes straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that use historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. The term FFO was designed by the REIT industry to address this issue. NAREIT FFO. FFO, as defined by theNational Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), is net income (loss) applicable to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable property, including any current and deferred taxes directly associated with sales of depreciable property, impairments of, or related to, depreciable real estate, plus real estate and other real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and adjustments to compute our share of NAREIT FFO and FFO as Adjusted (see below) from joint ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro-rata share of both our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We reflect our share of NAREIT FFO for unconsolidated joint ventures by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. For consolidated joint ventures in which we do not own 100%, we reflect our share of the equity by adjusting our NAREIT FFO to remove the third party ownership share of the applicable reconciling items based on actual ownership percentage for the applicable periods. Our pro-rata share information is prepared on a basis consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts, is intended to reflect our proportionate economic interest in the operating results of properties in our portfolio and is calculated by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period. We do not control the unconsolidated joint ventures, and the pro-rata presentations of reconciling items included in NAREIT FFO do not represent our legal claim to such items. The joint venture members or partners are entitled to profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the joint venture agreements, which provide for such allocations generally according to their invested capital. The presentation of pro-rata information has limitations, which include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses and (ii) other companies in our industry may calculate their pro-rata interest differently, limiting the usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, the pro-rata financial information should not be considered independently or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP financial statements, using the pro-rata financial information as a supplement. NAREIT FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss). We compute NAREIT FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition; however, other REITs may report NAREIT FFO differently or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from ours. 39
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
FFO as Adjusted. In addition, we present NAREIT FFO on an adjusted basis before the impact of non-comparable items including, but not limited to, transaction-related items, impairments (recoveries) of non-depreciable assets, losses (gains) from the sale of non-depreciable assets, severance and related charges, prepayment costs (benefits) associated with early retirement or payment of debt, litigation costs (recoveries), casualty-related charges (recoveries), foreign currency remeasurement losses (gains), and changes in tax legislation ("FFO as Adjusted"). Transaction-related items include transaction expenses and gains/charges incurred as a result of mergers and acquisitions and lease amendment or termination activities. Prepayment costs (benefits) associated with early retirement of debt include 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 debt. Management believes that FFO as Adjusted provides a meaningful supplemental measurement of our FFO run-rate and is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its FFO measure for the REIT industry, it also recognized that "management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and authority to publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community." We believe stockholders, potential investors, and financial analysts who review our operating performance are best served by an FFO run-rate earnings measure that includes certain other adjustments to net income (loss), in addition to adjustments made to arrive at the NAREIT defined measure of FFO. FFO as Adjusted is used by management in analyzing our business and the performance of our properties and we believe it is important that stockholders, potential investors, and financial analysts understand this measure used by management. We use FFO as Adjusted to: (i) evaluate our performance in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions, (ii) evaluate the performance of our management, (iii) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources, (iv) assess our performance as compared with similar real estate companies and the industry in general, and (v) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating an adjusted FFO measure, and accordingly, our FFO as Adjusted may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to NAREIT FFO and FFO as Adjusted and other relevant disclosure, refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations" below. Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") AFFO is defined as FFO as Adjusted after excluding the impact of the following: (i) amortization of deferred compensation expense, (ii) amortization of deferred financing costs, net, (iii) straight-line rents, (iv) deferred income taxes, (v) amortization of acquired market lease intangibles, net, (vi) non-cash interest related to DFLs and lease incentive amortization (reduction of straight-line rents), (vii) actuarial reserves for insurance claims that have been incurred but not reported, and (viii) deferred revenues, excluding amounts amortized into rental income that are associated with tenant funded improvements owned/recognized by us and up-front cash payments made by tenants to reduce their contractual rents. Also, AFFO: (i) is computed after deducting recurring capital expenditures, including second generation leasing costs and second generation tenant and capital improvements and (ii) includes lease restructure payments and adjustments to compute our share of AFFO from our unconsolidated joint ventures. Certain prior period amounts in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation" below for AFFO have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. More specifically, recurring capital expenditures, including second generation leasing costs and second generation tenant and capital improvements ("AFFO capital expenditures") excludes our share from unconsolidated joint ventures (reported in "other AFFO adjustments"). Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro-rata share of both our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We reflect our share of AFFO for unconsolidated joint ventures by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated joint ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our AFFO to remove the third party ownership share of the applicable reconciling items based on actual ownership percentage for the applicable periods (reported in "other AFFO adjustments"). See FFO for further disclosure regarding our use of pro-rata share information and its limitations. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO, and accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. Although our AFFO computation may not be comparable to that of other REITs, management believes AFFO provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our performance and is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. We believe AFFO is an alternative run-rate earnings measure that improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and makes comparisons with: (i) expected results, (ii) results of previous periods, and (iii) results among REITs more meaningful. AFFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as it excludes the following items which generally flow through our cash flows from operating activities: (i) adjustments for changes in working capital or the actual timing of the payment of income or expense items that are accrued in the period, (ii) transaction-related costs, (iii) litigation settlement expenses, (iv) severance-related expenses, and (v) actual cash receipts from interest income recognized on loans receivable (in contrast to our AFFO adjustment to exclude non-cash interest and depreciation related to our investments in direct financing leases). Furthermore, AFFO is adjusted for recurring capital expenditures, which are generally not considered when determining cash flows from operations or liquidity. AFFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to AFFO and other relevant disclosure, refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations" below. 40

2020 2019 Change Net income (loss) applicable to common shares$ 277,464 $ 61,029 $ 216,435 NAREIT FFO 171,549 206,036 (34,487 ) FFO as Adjusted 227,013 212,025 14,988 AFFO 207,576 191,471 16,105 Net income (loss) applicable to common shares increased primarily as a result of the following: • an increase in other income, net as a result of (i) a gain on
consolidation related to the acquisition of the outstanding equity
interests in 13 CCRCs from Brookdale during the first quarter of 2020 and
(ii) a gain on sale related to the sale of a hospital underlying a DFL during the first quarter of 2020;
• an increase in net gain on sales of real estate during the first quarter
of 2020;
• an increase in income tax benefit as a result of the above-mentioned
acquisition of Brookdale's interest in 13 CCRCs and related management
termination fee expense paid to Brookdale in connection with transitioning
management to LCS during the first quarter of 2020 and the extension of the net operating loss carryback period provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"); and
• NOI generated from: (i) 2019 and 2020 acquisitions and consolidations of
real estate, (ii) development and redevelopment projects placed in service
during 2019 and 2020, and (iii) new leasing activity during 2019 and 2020.
The increase in net income (loss) applicable to common shares was partially offset by: • a reduction in income related to assets sold or deconsolidated during 2019
and 2020;
• increased depreciation and amortization expense as a result of: (i) assets
acquired during 2019 and 2020, (ii) the acquisition of Brookdale's
interest in and consolidation of 13 CCRCs during the first quarter of
2020, and (iii) development and redevelopment projects placed into service
during 2019 and 2020, partially offset by dispositions of real estate
throughout 2019 and 2020;
• an increase in impairment charges related to real estate during the first
quarter of 2020;
• increased interest expense as a result of senior unsecured notes issuances
and assumed mortgage debt in conjunction with real estate acquisitions,
partially offset by senior unsecured notes redemptions, repurchases, and repayments during the third and fourth quarters of 2019; and • increased credit losses related to loans receivable as a result of adopting the new current expected credit losses model required under
Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13") and the impact of COVID-19 on
expected credit losses.
NAREIT FFO decreased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting net income (loss) applicable to common shares, except for the following, which are excluded from NAREIT FFO: • impairments of real estate;
• net gain on sales of real estate;
• the gain on consolidation related to the acquisition of Brookdale's
interest in 13 CCRCs; and
• depreciation and amortization expense.
FFO as Adjusted increased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting NAREIT FFO, except for the following, which are excluded from FFO as adjusted: • the gain related to the sale of a hospital underlying a DFL; and
• the increase in credit losses.

AFFO increased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting FFO as Adjusted, except for the impact of straight-line rents and the increase in deferred tax benefit, which are excluded from AFFO.
