The information set forth in this Item 7 is intended to provide readers with an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. We will discuss and provide our analysis in the following order: •COVID-19 Update •2020 Transaction Overview •Dividends •Results of Operations •Liquidity and Capital Resources •Contractual Obligations •Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements •Inflation •Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations •Critical Accounting Policies •Recent Accounting Pronouncements 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 . 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, school closings, "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, which resulted in closure of many businesses deemed to be non-essential. Although some of these restrictions have since been lifted or scaled back, certain restrictions remain in place and any future surges of COVID-19 may lead to other restrictions being re-implemented in response to efforts to reduce the spread. In addition, our tenants, operators and borrowers are facing significant cost increases as a result of increased health and safety measures, including increased staffing demands for patient care and sanitation, as well as increased usage and inventory of critical medical supplies and personal protective equipment. These health and safety measures, which may remain in place for a significant amount of time or be re-imposed from time to time, continue to place a substantial strain on the business operations of many of our tenants, operators, and borrowers.Senior Housing Within our SHOP and CCRC properties, occupancy rates have declined since the onset of the pandemic, a trend that may continue during the pandemic and for some period thereafter as a result of a reduction in, or in some cases prohibitions on, new tenant move-ins due to 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, have and could continue to materially and adversely disrupt operations, as well as cause significant reputational harm to us, our operators, and our tenants. As ofFebruary 8, 2021 , we had current confirmed resident COVID-19 cases at 85 of our 95 senior housing properties, since the beginning of the pandemic. Our senior housing property operators are also experiencing significant cost increases as a result of higher staffing hours and compensation, 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. 42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents We and/or our operators temporarily suspended redevelopment across our senior housing portfolio due to "shelter-in-place" orders and local, state, and federal directives, except for certain life safety and essential projects. Although some of these projects have been allowed to restart with infection control protocols in place, future local, state, or federal orders could cause us to re-suspend the work. 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 has slowed the pace of construction. These protective actions do not, however, eliminate the risk that outbreaks caused or spread by such activities may occur and impact our tenants, operators and residents. In addition, 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, inability to tour properties, or other factors relating to the pandemic. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on senior housing generally and the public perception of senior housing as a desirable residential setting depend on a number of factors that are unknown at this time, including, but not limited to: (i) the course and severity of the pandemic; (ii) responses of public and private health authorities; and (iii) the timing, distribution, and health effects of vaccines and other treatments. Medical Office Portfolio Within our medical office portfolio, many physician practices and affiliated hospitals initially delayed or discontinued nonessential surgeries and procedures due to "shelter-in-place" orders and other health and safety measures, which negatively impacted their cash flows during part of 2020. These restrictions have now been lifted in the majority of our markets and operations are at or near pre-pandemic levels. However, we expect that planned move-outs will be delayed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is expected to slightly increase short-term retention in this portfolio. We implemented a deferred rent program during the second and third quarters of 2020 that was limited to certain non-health system and non-hospital tenants in good standing, which reduced our cash collections during those months, although we required that the deferred rent be repaid ratably by the end of 2020. Under this program, we agreed to defer approximately$6 million of rent throughDecember 31, 2020 , substantially all of which had been collected as ofDecember 31, 2020 . We may also implement a deferred rent program for future periods. 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. ThroughDecember 31, 2020 , we had provided approximately$1 million of rent deferrals to our life science tenants, all of which was required to be repaid by the end of 2020. As ofDecember 31, 2020 , all of the deferred rent had been collected. However, within our life science portfolio, we may experience a decline in leasing activity at certain points during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of governmental restrictions on business activities in the greaterSan Francisco andBoston areas, we temporarily suspended development, redevelopment, and tenant improvement projects at many of our life science properties, resulting in delayed deliveries and project completions. Though we have been able to continue or re-start these projects, we remain subject to future governmental restrictions that may again suspend these projects. Even when these projects continue, we have been experiencing losses in efficiency as a result of the implementation of health and safety protocols related to social distancing and proper hygiene and sanitization. Liquidity We believe that we are well positioned to manage the short-term and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to slow its spread while working closely with our tenants, operators, and borrowers as they navigate the pandemic. We had approximately$2.51 billion of liquidity available, including$2.26 billion borrowing capacity under our bank line of credit facility and$259 million of cash and cash equivalents, as ofFebruary 8, 2021 . While a future downgrade in our credit ratings would adversely impact our cost of borrowing, we believe we continue to have access to the unsecured debt markets. We could also seek to enter into one or more secured debt financings, issue additional securities, including under our 2020 ATM Program (as defined below), or dispose of certain additional assets to fund future operating costs, capital expenditures, or acquisitions, although no assurances can be made in this regard. 43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents 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 necessary. In the event we conclude that substantially all of a tenant's straight-line rent or accounts receivable is 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 COVID-19, health and safety actions taken to contain its spread, any new surges of COVID-19, the severity of outbreak of new strains of COVID-19, the timing and distribution of vaccines and other treatments, 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. 2020 Transaction Overview South San Francisco Land Site Acquisition InOctober 2020 , we executed a definitive agreement to acquire approximately 12 acres of land for$128 million . The acquisition site is located inSouth San Francisco, CA , adjacent to two sites currently held by us as land for future development.

Dividends Quarterly cash dividends paid during 2020 aggregated to$1.48 per share. OnFebruary 9, 2021 , our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of$0.30 per common share. The dividend will be paid onMarch 5, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business onFebruary 22, 2021 . Results of Operations We evaluate our business and allocate resources among our reportable business segments: (i) life science, (ii) medical office, and (iii) CCRC. Under the life science and medical office segments, we invest through the acquisition and development of life science facilities, MOBs, and hospitals, which generally require a greater level of property management. Our CCRCs are operated through RIDEA structures. We have other non-reportable segments that are comprised primarily of interests in an unconsolidated senior housing joint venture and debt investments. We evaluate performance based upon property adjusted net operating income ("Adjusted NOI" or "Cash NOI") in each segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In conjunction with classifying our senior housing triple-net and SHOP portfolios as discontinued operations as ofDecember 31, 2020 , the results of operations related to those portfolios are no longer presented in reportable business segments. Accordingly, results of operations of those portfolios are not included in the reportable business segment analysis below. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding discontinued operations. 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, income from direct financing leases, and government grant income 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 16 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 measures because they provide relevant and useful information by reflecting only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the property level and present 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 16 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. 46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents 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. 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 conversion 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 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. We do not report Same-Store metrics for our other non-reportable segments. 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. 47 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, restructuring and severance 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), deferred tax asset valuation allowances, 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 48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents accordance with GAAP.

_______________________________________
(1)For the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations" below. Net income (loss) applicable to common shares ("net income (loss)") increased primarily as a result of the following: •an increase in other income, net as a result of: (i) a gain upon change of control related to the acquisition of the outstanding equity interests in 13 CCRCs from Brookdale during the first quarter of 2020, (ii) a gain on sale related to the sale of a hospital underlying a DFL during the first quarter of 2020, and (iii) government grant income received under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") during 2020; •an increase in net gain on sales of real estate during 2020; •an increase in interest income, primarily as a result of new loans and additional funding of existing loans; •a decrease in loss on debt extinguishments; •an increase in income tax benefit as a result of (i) 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 (ii) the extension of the net operating loss carryback provided by the CARES Act, partially offset by additional income tax expense due to a deferred tax asset valuation allowance; and •NOI generated from: (i) 2019 and 2020 acquisitions of real estate, (ii) development and redevelopment projects placed in service during 2019 and 2020, and (iii) new leasing activity in 2019 and 2020 (including the impact to straight-line rents). The increase in net income (loss) was partially offset by: •a reduction in income related to assets sold during 2019 and 2020; •additional expense due to the management termination fee paid to Brookdale in connection with transitioning management of 13 CCRCs to LCS during the first quarter of 2020; •additional expenses and decreased occupancy in our SHOP and CCRC assets related to COVID-19; •a reduction in equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures during 2020 primarily due to our share of net losses from an unconsolidated joint venture owning 19 senior housing assets that was formed inDecember 2019 ; •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; and •increased credit losses related to loans receivable as a result of: (i) adopting the current expected credit losses model required under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), (ii) new loans funded during 2020, and (iii) the impact of COVID-19 on expected credit losses. 49 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents NAREIT FFO decreased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting net income (loss), except for the following, which are excluded from NAREIT FFO: •net gain on sales of depreciable real estate; •the gain upon change of control 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: •deferred tax asset valuation allowance; •net gain on sales of assets underlying DFLs and non-depreciable assets, such as land; •losses on debt extinguishment; and •the increase in credit losses.

The decrease in net income (loss) was partially offset by: •increased NOI from: (i) annual rent escalations, (ii) 2018 and 2019 acquisitions, and (iii) development and redevelopment projects placed in service during 2018 and 2019; •a reduction in interest expense as a result of debt repayments during 2018 and 2019; and •an increase in other income, primarily resulting from: (i) a gain upon change of control of 19 SHOP assets in 2019, and (ii) a loss on consolidation of seven care homes in theU.K. during the first quarter of 2018, partially offset by a gain upon change of control related to the acquisition of the outstanding equity interests in three life science joint ventures inNovember 2018 . 50 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents NAREIT FFO increased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting net income (loss), except for the following, which are excluded from NAREIT FFO: •gains on sales of real estate, including related tax impacts; •depreciation and amortization expense; •impairments charges on real estate assets; and •gains and losses upon change of control. FFO as Adjusted increased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting NAREIT FFO, except for losses on debt extinguishment, which are excluded from FFO as Adjusted. AFFO decreased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting FFO as Adjusted, except for the impact of straight-line rents, which is excluded from AFFO. The decrease in AFFO was also partially due to increased AFFO capital expenditures during 2019.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 primarily as a result of (i) assets acquired during 2018 and 2019 and (ii) development and redevelopment projects placed into service during 2018 and 2019, partially offset by dispositions of real estate throughout 2018 and 2019. General and administrative expense General and administrative expenses decreased for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 primarily as a result of decreased severance and related charges, driven by the departure of our former Executive Chairman inMarch 2018 , partially offset by higher compensation costs in 2019. Transaction costs Transaction costs increased for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 primarily as a result of costs associated with the transition of 13 CCRCs from Brookdale to LCS inJanuary 2020 . Impairments and loan loss reserves (recoveries), net The impairment charges recognized in each period vary depending on facts and circumstances related to each asset and are impacted by negotiations with potential buyers, current operations of the assets, and other factors. 58 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Impairments and loan loss reserves (recoveries), net increased for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 primarily as a result of: (i) an increase related to buildings we intend to demolish and (ii) an increase in credit losses under the current expected credit losses model (which we began using in conjunction with our adoption of ASU 2016-13 onJanuary 1, 2020 ). Impairments and loan loss reserves (recoveries), net increased for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 as a result of additional assets being impaired under the held-for-sale impairment model. Gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net During the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , we sold: (i) 11 MOBs, (ii) 2 MOB land parcels, and (iii) 1 facility from the other non-reportable segment, resulting in total gain on sales of$90 million . During the year endedDecember 31, 2019 , we sold: (i) our remaining 49% interest in ourU.K. joint venture, (ii) 11 MOBs, (iii) 1 life science asset, (iv) 1 undeveloped life science land parcel, and (v) 1 facility from other non-reportable segments, resulting in no material gain or loss on sale. During the year endedDecember 31, 2018 , we sold: (i) a 51% interest in substantially all theU.K. assets previously owned by the Company, (ii) 16 life science assets, and (iii) 4 MOBs, resulting in total gain on sales of$831 million . Loss on debt extinguishments Refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding unsecured note repurchases, repayments, and redemptions and the associated loss on debt extinguishments recognized. Other income (expense), net Other income (expense), net increased for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 primarily as a result of: (i) a gain upon change of control related to the acquisition of the outstanding equity interest in 13 CCRCs from Brookdale during the first quarter of 2020; (ii) a gain on sale related to the sale of a hospital underlying a DFL during the first quarter of 2020; and (iii) government grant income received under the CARES Act during 2020. The increase was partially offset by a gain upon change of control recognized in 2019 related to a senior housing joint venture with a sovereign wealth fund (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Other income (expense), net increased for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 primarily as a result of (i) a gain upon change of control recognized in 2019 related to a senior housing joint venture with a sovereign wealth fund and (ii) a loss upon change of control of sevenU.K. care homes inMarch 2018 (see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The increase in other income (expense), net was partially offset by a gain upon change of control related to the acquisition of the outstanding equity interests in three life science joint ventures inNovember 2018 . Income tax benefit (expense) Income tax benefit increased for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 primarily as a result of the tax benefits related to the purchase of Brookdale's interest in 13 of the 15 communities in the CCRC JV, including the management termination fee expense paid to Brookdale in connection with transitioning management of 13 CCRCs to LCS, and the extension of the net operating loss carryback period provided by the CARES Act, partially offset by a deferred tax asset valuation allowance and corresponding income tax expense recognized in 2020. Equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures Equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 primarily as a result of our share of net losses from an unconsolidated joint venture owning 19 SHOP assets that was formed inDecember 2019 , partially offset by no longer recognizing the operating results of 13 CCRCs in equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures as we acquired Brookdale's interest and now consolidate those facilities. The decrease is further offset by our share of a gain on sale of one asset in an unconsolidated joint venture during the first quarter of 2020. Equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 primarily as a result of an impairment charge recognized related to one asset classified as held-for-sale in the CCRC JV (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and the sale of our equity method investment in RIDEA II inJune 2018 , partially offset by additional equity income from our previously-held investment in theU.K. JV. 59 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Income (loss) from discontinued operations Income from discontinued operations increased for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 primarily as a result of: (i) increased gain on sales of real estate from the disposal of multiple senior housing portfolios during 2019 and 2020; (ii) decreased depreciation and amortization expense due to assets being disposed of or classified as held for sale throughout 2019 and 2020 and assets that were fully depreciated in 2019 and 2020; (iii) government grant income received under the CARES Act during 2020; and (iv) NOI from acquisitions during 2019. The increase in income (loss) from discontinued operations was partially offset by: (i) decreased NOI from dispositions of real estate during 2019 and 2020 and (ii) increased expenses and decreased occupancy related to COVID-19. Income (loss) from discontinued operations decreased for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 primarily as a result of: (i) decreased gain on sales of real estate; (ii) increased impairment charges due to additional asset being classified as held for sale in 2019; (iii) increased depreciation and amortization expense due to acquisitions of real estate during 2018 and 2019; (iv) decreased NOI from dispositions of real estate during 2018 and 2019. The decrease in income (loss) from discontinued operations was partially offset by: (i) increased other income (expense), net from a gain upon change of control related to consolidating a senior housing joint venture in 2019 and (ii) additional NOI from acquisitions during 2018 and 2019. Liquidity and Capital Resources We anticipate that our cash flow from operations, available cash balances, and cash from our various financing activities will be adequate for at least the next 12 months for purposes of: (i) funding recurring operating expenses; (ii) meeting debt service requirements; and (iii) satisfying our distributions to our stockholders and non-controlling interest members. During the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , distributions to common shareholders and noncontrolling interest holders exceeded cash flows from operations by approximately$66 million . Distributions were made using a combination of cash flows from operations, funds available under our bank line of credit and commercial paper program, proceeds from the sale of properties, and other sources of cash available to us. Our principal investing liquidity needs for the next 12 months are to: •fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs and •fund future acquisition, transactional and development activities. We anticipate satisfying these future investing needs using one or more of the following: •cash flow from operations; •sale of, or exchange of ownership interests in, properties or other investments; •borrowings under our bank line of credit and commercial paper program; •issuance of additional debt, including unsecured notes, term loans, and mortgage debt; and/or •issuance of common or preferred stock or its equivalent. Our ability to access the capital markets impacts our cost of capital and ability to refinance maturing indebtedness, as well as our ability to fund future acquisitions and development through the issuance of additional securities or secured debt. Credit ratings impact our ability to access capital and directly impact our cost of capital as well. For example, our bank line of credit and term loan accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin that depends upon the credit ratings of our senior unsecured long term debt. We also pay a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends upon our credit ratings. As ofFebruary 8, 2021 , we had long-term credit ratings of Baa1 from Moody's and BBB+ from S&P Global and Fitch, and short-term credit ratings of P-2, A-2 and F2 from Moody's, S&P Global, and Fitch, respectively. A downgrade in credit ratings by Moody's, S&P Global, and Fitch may have a negative impact on the interest rates and facility fees for our bank line of credit and term loan. While a downgrade in our credit ratings would adversely 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, issue additional securities, including under our 2020 ATM Program (as defined below), or dispose of certain assets to fund future operating costs, capital expenditures, or acquisitions, although no assurances can be made in this regard. Refer to "COVID-19 Update" above for a more comprehensive discussion of the potential impact of COVID-19 on our business. 60 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Cash Flow Summary The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below. The following table sets forth changes in cash flows (in thousands): Year
Ended
2020 2019 2018
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
(1,448,778) 1,829,279
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 246,450
647,271 (2,620,536) Operating Cash Flows Operating cash flow decreased$88 million between the years endedDecember 31, 2020 and 2019 primarily as the result of: (i) the termination fee paid to Brookdale in connection with the CCRC Acquisition; (ii) assets sold during 2019 and 2020, and (iii) additional expenses and decreased occupancy in our SHOP and CCRC assets related to COVID-19. The decrease in operating cash flow is partially offset by: (i) 2019 and 2020 acquisitions, (ii) annual rent increases, (iii) new leasing activity; (iv) developments and redevelopments placed in service during 2019 and 2020, and (v) increased interest received from new loan investments. Operating cash flow decreased$3 million between the years endedDecember 31, 2019 and 2018 primarily as the result of: (i) dispositions during 2018 and 2019 and (ii) occupancy declines and higher labor costs within our SHOP assets. The decrease in operating cash flow is partially offset by: (i) 2018 and 2019 acquisitions, (ii) annual rent increases, (iii) developments and redevelopments placed in service during 2018 and 2019, and (iv) decreased interest paid as a result of debt repayments during 2018 and 2019. Our cash flow from operations is dependent upon the occupancy levels of our buildings, rental rates on leases, our tenants' performance on their lease obligations, the level of operating expenses, and other factors. Investing Cash Flows The following are significant investing activities for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 : •received net proceeds of$1.5 billion primarily from (i) sales of real estate assets (including real estate assets under DFLs) and (ii) sales and repayments of loans receivable; and •made investments of$2.5 billion primarily related to the (i) acquisition, development, and redevelopment of real estate and (ii) funding of loan investments. The following are significant investing activities for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 : •received net proceeds of$976 million primarily from: (i) sales of real estate assets (including real estate assets under DFLs), (ii) the sale of our investment in theU.K. JV, and (iii) the sale of a 46.5% interest in 19 previously consolidated SHOP assets; and •made investments of$2.4 billion primarily related to the (i) acquisition, development, and redevelopment of real estate and (ii) funding of loan investments. The following are significant investing activities for the year endedDecember 31, 2018 : •received net proceeds of$2.9 billion primarily from: (i) sales of real estate assets, (ii) the sale of RIDEA II, (iii) the sale of the Tandem Mezzanine Loan, and (iv) theU.K. JV transaction; and •made investments of$1.1 billion primarily for the acquisition and development of real estate. Financing Cash Flows The following are significant financing activities for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 : •made net borrowings of$16 million primarily under our bank line of credit, commercial paper, and senior unsecured notes (including debt extinguishment costs); •paid cash dividends on common stock of$787 million ; and •issued common stock of$1.1 billion . 61 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The following are significant financing activities for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 : •made net borrowings of$573 million primarily under our bank line of credit, commercial paper, term loan, and senior unsecured notes (including debt extinguishment costs); •paid cash dividends on common stock of$720 million ; and •issued common stock of$796 million . The following are significant financing activities for the year endedDecember 31, 2018 : •repaid$2.4 billion of debt under our: (i) bank line of credit, (ii) term loan, (iii) senior unsecured notes (including debt extinguishment costs) and (iv) mortgage debt; •paid cash dividends on common stock of$697 million ; •paid$83 million for distributions to and purchases of noncontrolling interests, primarily related to our acquisition of Brookdale's noncontrolling interest in RIDEA I; •raised net proceeds of$218 million from the issuances of common stock, primarily from our at-the-market equity program; and •received proceeds of$300 million for issuances of noncontrolling interests. Discontinued Operations Operating, investing, and financing cash flows in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are reported inclusive of both cash flows from continuing operations and cash flows from discontinued operations. Certain significant cash flows from discontinued operations are disclosed in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The absence of future cash flows from discontinued operations is not expected to significantly impact our liquidity, as the proceeds from senior housing triple-net and SHOP dispositions are expected to be used to pay down debt and invest in additional real estate in our other business lines. Additionally, we have multiple other sources of liquidity that can be utilized in the future, as needed. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section above for additional information regarding our liquidity. Debt Senior Unsecured Notes InJune 2020 , we completed a public offering of$600 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2031 Notes. InJune 2020 , using a portion of the net proceeds from the 2031 Notes offering, we repurchased$250 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.25% senior unsecured notes due in 2023. InJuly 2020 , using an additional portion of the net proceeds from the 2031 Notes offering, we redeemed all$300 million of our 3.15% senior unsecured notes due in 2022. FromJanuary 1, 2021 toFebruary 8, 2021 , we repurchased$112 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.25% senior unsecured notes due in 2023,$201 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.20% senior unsecured notes due in 2024, and$469 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.88% senior unsecured notes due in 2024. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our outstanding debt. Approximately 94%, 94%, and 99% of our consolidated debt, excluding debt classified as liabilities related to assets held for sale and discontinued operations, net, was fixed rate debt as ofDecember 31, 2020 , 2019 and 2018, respectively. AtDecember 31, 2020 , our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt had weighted average interest rates of 3.85% and 0.85%, respectively. AtDecember 31, 2019 , our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt had weighted average interest rates of 3.94% and 2.58%, respectively. AtDecember 31, 2018 , our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt had weighted average interest rates of 4.04% and 2.12%, respectively. We had$36 million ,$42 million and$43 million of variable rate debt swapped to fixed through interest rate swaps as ofDecember 31, 2020 , 2019 and 2018, respectively, which is reported in liabilities related to assets held for sale and discontinued operations, net. For a more detailed discussion of our interest rate risk, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in Item 3 below. 62 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Equity AtDecember 31, 2020 , we had 538 million shares of common stock outstanding, equity totaled$7.3 billion , and our equity securities had a market value of$16.5 billion . AtDecember 31, 2020 , non-managing members held an aggregate of five million units in seven limited liability companies ("DownREITs") for which we are the managing member. The DownREIT units are exchangeable for an amount of cash approximating the then-current market value of shares of our common stock or, at our option, shares of our common stock (subject to certain adjustments, such as stock splits and reclassifications). AtDecember 31, 2020 , the outstanding DownREIT units were convertible into approximately seven million shares of our common stock. At-The-Market Program InFebruary 2020 , we terminated our previous at-the-market equity offering program and concurrently established a new at-the-market equity offering program (the "2020 ATM Program"). In addition to the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock, we may also enter into one or more forward sales agreements with sales agents for the sale of our shares of common stock under our 2020 ATM Program. During the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , the Company settled all 16.8 million shares previously outstanding under ATM forward contracts at a weighted average net price of$31.38 per share, after commissions, resulting in net proceeds of$528 million . AtDecember 31, 2020 , approximately$1.25 billion of our common stock remained available for sale under the 2020 ATM Program. Actual future sales of our common stock will depend upon a variety of factors, including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell any of the remaining shares under our 2020 ATM Program. Other than in connection with settlement of ATM forward contracts described above, during the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , we did not issue any shares of our common stock under our 2020 ATM Program. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our 2020 ATM Program and our previous at-the-market equity offering program. Shelf Registration InMay 2018 , we filed a prospectus with theSEC as part of a registration statement on Form S-3, using an automatic shelf registration process. This shelf registration statement expires inMay 2021 and at or prior to such time, we expect to file a new shelf registration statement. Under the "shelf" process, we may sell any combination of the securities described in the prospectus through one or more offerings. The securities described in the prospectus include common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities and warrants. 63 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Contractual Obligations The following table summarizes our material contractual payment obligations and commitments, excluding obligations and commitments related to assets classified as discontinued operations, atDecember 31, 2020 (in thousands): More than Total(1) 2021 2022-2023 2024-2025 Five Years Bank line of credit $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Commercial paper 129,590 129,590 - - - Term loan 250,000 - - 250,000 - Senior unsecured notes 5,750,000 - 300,000 2,500,000 2,950,000 Mortgage debt(2) 216,780 13,015 94,717 6,259 102,789 Construction loan commitments(3) 11,137 11,137 - - - Lease and other contractual commitments(4) 109,126 94,124 15,002 - - Development commitments(5) 196,749 180,846 15,247 656 - Ground and other operating leases 536,223 11,349 23,196 19,622 482,056 Interest(6) 1,649,566 233,954 457,063 332,007 626,542 Total$ 8,849,171 $ 674,015 $ 905,225 $ 3,108,544 $ 4,161,387

See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding discontinued operations. (2)Excludes mortgage debt on assets held for sale and discontinued operations of$319 million and mortgage debt from unconsolidated joint ventures. (3)Represents loan commitments to finance development and redevelopment projects. (4)Represents our commitments, as lessor, under signed leases and contracts for operating properties and includes allowances for tenant improvements and leasing commissions. Excludes allowances for tenant improvements related to developments in progress for which we have executed an agreement with a general contractor to complete the tenant improvements (recognized in the "Development commitments" line). (5)Represents construction and other commitments for developments in progress and includes allowances for tenant improvements of$28 million that we have provided as a lessor. (6)Interest on variable-rate debt is calculated using rates in effect atDecember 31, 2020 . Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We own interests in certain unconsolidated joint ventures as described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Except in limited circumstances, our risk of loss is limited to our investment in the joint venture and any outstanding loans receivable. We have no other material off-balance sheet arrangements that we expect would materially affect our liquidity and capital resources except those described above under "Contractual Obligations". Inflation Our leases often provide for either fixed increases in base rents or indexed escalators, based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures, and/or additional rent based on increases in the tenants' operating revenues. Most of our MOB leases require the tenant to pay a share of property operating costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and utilities. Substantially all of our senior housing triple-net, life science, and remaining other leases require the tenant or operator to pay all of the property operating costs or reimburse us for all such costs. We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be offset, in part, by the tenant or operator expense reimbursements and contractual rent increases described above. 64 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations Funds From Operations The following is a reconciliation from net income (loss) applicable to common shares, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to NAREIT FFO, FFO as Adjusted and AFFO (in thousands, except per share data): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016

(1)For the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , includes a$170 million gain upon consolidation of 13 CCRCs in which we acquired Brookdale's interest and began consolidating during the first quarter of 2020. For the year endedDecember 31, 2019 , includes a$161 million gain upon deconsolidation of 19 previously consolidated SHOP assets that were contributed into a new unconsolidated senior housing joint venture with a sovereign wealth fund. For the year endedDecember 31, 2018 , represents the gain upon consolidation related to the acquisition of our partner's interests in four previously unconsolidated life science assets, partially offset by the loss upon consolidation of sevenU.K. care homes. Gains and losses upon change of control are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. (2)For the year endedDecember 31, 2016 , represents income tax expense associated with the state built-in gain tax payable upon the disposition of specific real estate assets, of which$49 million relates to theHCR ManorCare, Inc. ("HCRMC") real estate portfolio that we spun-off in 2016. (3)For the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , includes the termination fee and transition fee expenses related to terminating the management agreements with Brookdale for 13 CCRCs and transitioning those communities to LCS, partially offset by the tax benefit related to those expenses. The expenses related to terminating management agreements are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For the year endedDecember 31, 2017 , includes$55 million of net non-cash charges related to the right to terminate certain triple-net leases and management agreements in conjunction with the 2017 Brookdale Transactions. For the year endedDecember 31, 2016 , primarily relates to the spin-off ofQuality Care Properties, Inc. (4)For the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , includes reserves for loan losses under the current expected credit losses accounting standard in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). The year endedDecember 31, 2020 also includes a gain on sale of a hospital that was in a DFL and the impairment of an undeveloped MOB land parcel, which was sold during the third quarter. For the year endedDecember 31, 2019 , represents the impairment of 13 senior housing triple-net facilities under DFLs recognized as a result of entering into sales agreements. For the year endedDecember 31, 2018 , primarily relates to the impairment of an undeveloped life science land parcel classified as held for sale, partially offset by an impairment recovery upon the sale of a mezzanine loan investment inMarch 2018 . For the year endedDecember 31, 2017 , relates to$144 million of impairments on ourTandem Mezzanine Loan , net of a$51 million impairment recovery upon the sale of a senior notes investment. (5)For the year endedDecember 31, 2018 , primarily relates to the departure of our former Executive Chairman and corporate restructuring activities. For the year endedDecember 31, 2017 , primarily relates to the departure of our former Chief Accounting Officer. For the year endedDecember 31, 2016 , primarily relates to the departure of our former President and Chief Executive Officer. (6)For the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , represents the valuation allowance and corresponding income tax expense related to deferred tax assets that are no longer expected to be realized as a result of our plan to dispose of our SHOP portfolio. We determined we were unlikely to hold the assets long enough to realize the future value of certain deferred tax assets generated by the net operating losses of our taxable REIT subsidiaries. (7)For the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , represents the tax benefit from the CARES Act, which extended the net operating loss carryback period to five years. For the year endedDecember 31, 2017 , represents the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was signed into legislation onDecember 22, 2017 . (8)In connection with the acquisition of the remaining 51% interest in the CCRC JV inJanuary 2020 , we consolidated the 13 communities in the CCRC JV and recorded the assets and liabilities at their acquisition date relative fair values, including the CCRC contract liabilities associated with previously collected non-refundable entrance fees. In conjunction with increasing those CCRC contract liabilities to their fair value, we concluded that we will no longer adjust for the timing difference between non-refundable entrance fees collected and amortized as we believe the amortization of these fees is a meaningful representation of how we satisfy the performance obligations of the fees. As such, upon consolidation of the CCRC assets, we no longer exclude the difference between CCRC entrance fees collected and amortized from the calculation of AFFO. For comparative periods presented, the adjustment continues to represent our 49% share of non-refundable entrance fees collected by the CCRC JV, net of reserves and net of CCRC JV entrance fee amortization. (9)Primarily includes our share of AFFO capital expenditures from unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by noncontrolling interests' share of AFFO capital expenditures from consolidated joint ventures. For the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , includes an increase to insurance claims that have been incurred but not yet reported on the 13 CCRCs in which we acquired Brookdale's interest and began consolidating during the first quarter of 2020 and senior housing triple-net assets that transitioned to RIDEA structures during the year. 66 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity withU.S. GAAP requires our management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts ofHealthpeak Properties, Inc. , our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures and variable interest entities ("VIEs") that we control, through voting rights or other means. We consolidate investments in VIEs when we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We make judgments about which entities are VIEs based on an assessment of whether: (i) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's activities without additional subordinated financial support, (ii) substantially all of an entity's activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights, or (iii) the equity investors as a group lack any of the following: (a) the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of an entity, or (c) the right to receive the expected residual returns of an entity. Criterion (iii) above is generally applied to limited partnerships and similarly structured entities by assessing whether a simple majority of the limited partners hold substantive rights to participate in the significant decisions of the entity or have the ability to remove the decision maker or liquidate the entity without cause. If neither of those criteria are met, the entity is a VIE. We continually assess whether events have occurred that require us to reconsider the initial determination of whether an entity is a VIE. Such events include, but are not limited to: (i) a change to the contractual arrangements of the entity or in the ability of a party to exercise its participation or kick-out rights, (ii) a change to the capitalization structure of the entity, or (iii) acquisitions or sales of interests that constitute a change in control. When a reconsideration event occurs, we reassess whether the entity is a VIE. We also make judgments with respect to our level of influence or control over an entity and whether we are (or are not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors includes, but is not limited to: •which activities most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and our ability to direct those activities; •our form of ownership interest; •our representation on the entity's governing body; •the size and seniority of our investment; •our ability to manage our ownership interest relative to other interest holders; and •our ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions, replace the manager, and/or liquidate the entity, if applicable. Our ability to correctly assess our influence or control over an entity when determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE affects the presentation of these entities in our consolidated financial statements. When we perform a reassessment of the primary beneficiary at a date other than at inception of the VIE, our assumptions may be different and may result in the identification of a different primary beneficiary. 67 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents If we determine that we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, our consolidated financial statements include the operating results of the VIE rather than the results of our variable interest in the VIE. We require VIEs to provide us timely financial information and review the internal controls of VIEs to determine if we can rely on the financial information it provides. If a VIE has deficiencies in its internal controls over financial reporting, or does not provide us with timely financial information, it may adversely impact the quality and/or timing of our financial reporting and our internal controls over financial reporting. Revenue Recognition Lease Classification At the inception of a new lease arrangement, including new leases that arise from amendments, we assess the terms and conditions to determine the proper lease classification. For leases entered into prior toJanuary 1, 2019 , the lease arrangement was classified as an operating lease if none of the following criteria were met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee prior to or shortly after the end of the lease term, (ii) the lessee had a bargain purchase option during or at the end of the lease term, (iii) the lease term was equal to 75% or more of the underlying property's economic life, or (iv) the present value of future minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) was equal to 90% or more of the estimated fair value of the leased asset. If one of the four criteria was met and the minimum lease payments were determined to be reasonably predictable and collectible, the lease arrangement was generally accounted for as a DFL. Concurrent with our adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02") onJanuary 1, 2019 , we began classifying a lease entered into subsequent to adoption as an operating lease if none of the following criteria are met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee by the end of the lease term, (ii) lessee has a purchase option during or at the end of the lease term that it is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, (iv) the present value of future minimum lease payments is equal to substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset, or (v) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to us at the end of the lease term. If the assumptions utilized in the above classification assessments were different, our lease classification for accounting purposes may have been different; thus the timing and amount of our revenue recognized would have been impacted, which may be material to our consolidated financial statements. Rental and Related Revenues We recognize rental revenue for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectibility of all minimum lease payments is probable and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of a leased asset. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements are owned by the tenant or us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially complete. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. The determination of ownership of a tenant improvement is subject to significant judgment. If our assessment of the owner of the tenant improvements was different, the timing and amount of our revenue recognized would be impacted. Certain leases provide for additional rents that are contingent upon a percentage of the facility's revenue in excess of specified base amounts or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized when actual results reported by the tenant, or estimates of tenant results, exceed the base amount or other thresholds. The recognition of additional rents requires us to make estimates of amounts owed and, to a certain extent, is dependent on the accuracy of the facility results reported to us. Our estimates may differ from actual results, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Resident Fees and Services Resident fee revenue is recorded when services are rendered and includes resident room and care charges, community fees and other resident charges. Residency agreements are generally for a term of 30 days to one year, with resident fees billed monthly, in advance. Revenue for certain care related services is recognized as services are provided and is billed monthly in arrears. Certain of our CCRCs are operated as entrance fee communities, which typically require a resident to pay an upfront entrance fee that includes both a refundable portion and non-refundable portion. When we receive a nonrefundable entrance fee, it is recognized as deferred revenue and amortized into revenue over the estimated stay of the resident. 68 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Credit Losses We continuously assess the collectibility of operating lease straight-line rent receivables. If it is no longer probable that substantially all future minimum lease payments will be received, the straight-line rent receivable balance is written off and recognized as a decrease in revenue in that period. We monitor the liquidity and creditworthiness of our tenants and operators on a continuous basis. This evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, property performance, credit enhancements, and other factors. We exercise judgment in this assessment and consider payment history and current credit status in developing these estimates. These estimates may differ from actual results, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Loans receivable and DFLs (collectively, "finance receivables"), are reviewed and assigned an internal rating of Performing,Watch List , or Workout. Finance receivables that are deemed Performing meet all present contractual obligations, and collection and timing of all amounts owed is reasonably assured.Watch List finance receivables are defined as finance receivables that do not meet the definition of Performing or Workout. Workout finance receivables are defined as finance receivables in which we have determined, based on current information and events, that: (i) it is probable we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreement, (ii) the tenant, operator, or borrower is delinquent on making payments under the contractual terms of the agreement, and (iii) we have commenced action or anticipate pursuing action in the near term to seek recovery of our investment. Finance receivables are placed on nonaccrual status when management determines that the collectibility of contractual amounts is not reasonably assured (the asset will have an internal rating of eitherWatch List or Workout). Further, we perform a credit analysis to support the tenant's, operator's, borrower's, and/or guarantor's repayment capacity and the underlying collateral values. We use the cash basis method of accounting for finance receivables placed on nonaccrual status unless one of the following conditions exist whereby we utilize the cost recovery method of accounting: (i) if we determine that it is probable that we will only recover the recorded investment in the finance receivable, net of associated allowances or charge-offs (if any) or (ii) we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of an impaired finance receivable. For cash basis method of accounting we apply payments received, excluding principal paydowns, to interest income so long as that amount does not exceed the amount that would have been earned under the original contractual terms. For cost recovery method of accounting any payment received is applied to reduce the recorded investment. Generally, we return a finance receivable to accrual status when all delinquent payments become current under the terms of the loan or lease agreements and collectibility of the remaining contractual loan or lease payments is reasonably assured. Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13") onJanuary 1, 2020 , allowances were established for finance receivables on an individual basis utilizing an estimate of probable losses, if they were determined to be impaired. Finance Receivables were impaired when it was deemed probable that we would be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan or lease. An allowance was based upon our assessment of the lessee's or borrower's overall financial condition, economic resources, payment record, the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors and, if appropriate, the net realizable value of any collateral. These estimates considered all available evidence, including the expected future cash flows discounted at the finance receivable's effective interest rate, fair value of collateral, general economic conditions and trends, historical and industry loss experience, and other relevant factors, as appropriate. If a finance receivable was deemed partially or wholly uncollectible, the uncollectible balance was charged off against the allowance in the period in which the uncollectible determination has been made. Subsequent to adopting ASU 2016-13 onJanuary 1, 2020 , we began using a loss model that relies on future expected credit losses, rather than incurred losses, as was required under historicalU.S. GAAP. Under the new model, we are required to recognize future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of a finance receivable at inception of that instrument. The model emphasizes historical experience and future market expectations to determine a loss to be recognized at inception. However, the model continues to be applied on an individual basis and rely on counter-party specific information to ensure the most accurate estimate is recognized. 69 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Real Estate We make estimates as part of our process for allocating a purchase price to the various identifiable assets and liabilities of an acquisition based upon the relative fair value of each asset or liability. The most significant components of our allocations are typically buildings as-if-vacant, land, and in-place leases. In the case of allocating fair value to buildings and intangibles, our fair value estimates will affect the amount of depreciation and amortization we record over the estimated useful life of each asset acquired. In the case of allocating fair value to in-place leases, we make our best estimates based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. Our assumptions affect the amount of future revenue and/or depreciation and amortization expense that we will recognize over the remaining useful life for the acquired in-place leases. Certain of our acquisitions involve the assumption of contract liabilities. We typically estimate the fair value of contract liabilities by applying a reasonable profit margin to the total discounted estimated future costs associated with servicing the contract. We consider a variety of market and contract-specific conditions when making assumptions that impact the estimated fair value of the contract liability. A variety of costs are incurred in the development and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project to be considered substantially complete and available for occupancy and cease capitalization of costs upon the completion of the related tenant improvements. Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations We classify a real estate property as held for sale when: (i) management has approved the disposal, (ii) the property is available for sale in its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, (iv) it is probable that the property will be disposed of within one year, (v) the property is being marketed at a reasonable price relative to its fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that the disposal plan will significantly change or be withdrawn. If an asset is classified as held for sale, it is reported at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and no longer depreciated. We classify a loan receivable as held for sale when we no longer have the intent and ability to hold the loan receivable for the foreseeable future or until maturity. If a loan receivable is classified as held for sale, it is reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. A discontinued operation represents: (i) a component of an entity or group of components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale in a single transaction and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results or (ii) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition. Examples of a strategic shift may include disposing of: (i) a separate major line of business, (ii) a separate major geographic area of operations, or (iii) other major parts of the Company. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We assess the carrying value of our real estate assets and related intangibles ("real estate assets") when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of real estate assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the real estate assets to the respective estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The expected future undiscounted cash flows reflect external market factors and are probability-weighted to reflect multiple possible cash-flow scenarios, including selling the assets at various points in the future. Additionally, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are calculated utilizing the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. In order to review our real estate assets for recoverability, we make assumptions regarding external market conditions (including capitalization rates and growth rates), forecasted cash flows and sales prices, and our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the real estate assets is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the real estate asset. 70 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Determining the fair value of real estate assets, including assets classified as held-for-sale, involves significant judgment and generally utilizes market capitalization rates, comparable market transactions, estimated per-unit or per square foot prices, negotiations with prospective buyers, and forecasted cash flows (lease revenue rates, expense rates, growth rates, etc.). Our ability to accurately predict future operating results and resulting cash flows, and estimate fair values, impacts the timing and recognition of impairments. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Investments inUnconsolidated Joint Ventures The initial carrying value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is based on the amount paid to purchase the joint venture interest, the fair value of assets contributed to the joint venture, or the fair value of the assets prior to the sale of interests in the joint venture. We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment by first reviewing for indicators of impairment based on the performance of the underlying real estate assets held by the joint venture. If an equity-method investment shows indicators of impairment, we compare the fair value of the investment to the carrying value. If we determine there is a decline in the fair value of our investment in an unconsolidated joint venture below its carrying value and it is other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded. The determination of the fair value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and as to whether a deficiency in fair value is other-than-temporary involves significant judgment. Our estimates consider all available evidence including, as appropriate, the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at market rates, general economic conditions and trends, severity and duration of a fair value deficiency, and other relevant factors. Capitalization rates, discount rates, and credit spreads utilized in our valuation models are based on rates we believe to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective investments. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to evaluate our compliance with REIT requirements. Our determinations are based on interpretation of tax laws and our conclusions may have an impact on the income tax expense recognized. Adjustments to income tax expense may be required as a result of: (i) audits conducted by federal, state, and local tax authorities, (ii) our ability to qualify as a REIT, (iii) the potential for built-in gain recognition, and (iv) changes in tax laws. Adjustments required in any given period are included within the income tax provision. We are required to evaluate our deferred tax assets for realizability and recognize a valuation allowance, which is recorded against its deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We consider all available evidence in its determination of whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is required. Recent Accounting Pronouncements See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of new accounting standards. ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. We use derivative and other financial instruments in the normal course of business to mitigate interest rate risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value (see Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). To illustrate the effect of movements in the interest rate markets, we performed a market sensitivity analysis on our hedging instruments. We applied various basis point spreads to the underlying interest rate curves of the derivative portfolio in order to determine the change in fair value. Assuming a one percentage point change in the underlying interest rate curve, the estimated change in fair value of each of the underlying derivative instruments would not be material. Interest Rate Risk AtDecember 31, 2020 , our exposure to interest rate risk is primarily on our variable rate debt. AtDecember 31, 2020 ,$36 million of our variable-rate debt was hedged by interest rate swap transactions. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, with the objective of managing the exposure to interest rate risk by converting the interest rates on our variable-rate debt to fixed interest rates. 71 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt and assets 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. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. AtDecember 31, 2020 , a one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates would change the fair value of our fixed rate debt by approximately$369 million and$401 million , respectively, and would not materially impact earnings or cash flows. Additionally, a one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates would change the fair value of our fixed rate debt investments by approximately$2 million and would not materially impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, changes in interest rates on variable rate debt and investments would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not materially impact the fair value of those instruments. Assuming a one percentage point change in the interest rate related to our variable-rate debt and variable-rate investments, and assuming no other changes in the outstanding balance atDecember 31, 2020 , our annual interest expense and interest income would increase by approximately$3 million and$1 million , respectively. Market Risk We have investments in marketable debt securities classified as held-to-maturity because we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization of premiums and discounts through maturity. We consider a variety of factors in evaluating an other-than-temporary decline in value, such as: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than our current adjusted carrying value, the issuer's financial condition, capital strength and near-term prospects, any recent events specific to that issuer and economic conditions of its industry, and our investment horizon in relationship to an anticipated near-term recovery in the market value, if any. AtDecember 31, 2020 , both the fair value and carrying value of marketable debt securities was$20 million . 72 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents ITEM 8.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the stockholders and the Board of Directors ofHealthpeak Properties, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets ofHealthpeak Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries. (the "Company") as ofDecember 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period endedDecember 31, 2020 , and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as ofDecember 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period endedDecember 31, 2020 , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America . We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of thePublic Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States ) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as ofDecember 31, 2020 , based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by theCommittee of Sponsoring Organizations of theTreadway Commission and our report datedFebruary 10, 2021 , expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with theU.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of theSecurities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Impairments - Real Estate - Refer to Notes 2 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company's evaluation of impairment of real estate involves an assessment of the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles ("real estate assets") when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If a real estate asset is classified as held for sale, individually or as part of a disposal group, the long-lived asset or disposal group shall be measured at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. If a real estate asset is held for use and its carrying value is not recoverable, the real estate asset shall be measured at the lower of its carrying value or fair value. The determination of the fair value of real estate assets involves significant judgment. The fair value of the impaired assets was based on forecasted sales prices of the long-lived asset or disposal group, which are considered to be Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Disposal groups were determined based on management's intent, as of the measurement date, to sell two or more real estate assets as a portfolio. Forecasted sales prices were determined using an income approach and/or a market approach (comparable sales model), which rely on certain assumptions by the Company, including: (i) market capitalization rates, (ii) market prices per unit, and (iii) forecasted cash flow streams (lease-up periods, lease revenue rates, expense rates, growth rates, etc.). There are inherent uncertainties in these assumptions. 74 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Given the Company's evaluation of the forecasted sales price of a long lived asset or disposal group requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to market capitalization rates, market prices per unit, and forecasted cash flow streams, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's forecasted sales price required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the forecasted sales price for certain real estate assets or disposal groups included the following, among others: •We tested the effectiveness of controls over impairment of real estate, including those over the forecasted sales price for real estate assets. •We evaluated the forecasted sales prices for a sample of real estate assets, which may have included estimates of market capitalization rates, market prices per unit, and/or forecasted cash flow streams used in the determination of fair value for each selected real estate asset by (1) evaluating the source information and assumptions used by management and (2) testing the mathematical accuracy of the discounted cash flow or direct capitalization model. •We performed a retrospective review of impairment charges and real estate assets that were classified as held for sale to evaluate the changing facts and circumstances that led to the timing and recognition of impairment and/or change in classification during the period and how such facts compared to the facts that were considered in previous periods. /s/DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Costa Mesa, California February 10, 2021 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2010. 75 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of ContentsHealthpeak Properties, Inc.

80 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of ContentsHealthpeak Properties, Inc. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. Business
Overview
Healthpeak Properties, Inc. , aStandard & Poor's 500 company, is aMaryland corporation that is organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") which, together with its consolidated entities (collectively, "Healthpeak" or the "Company"), invests primarily in real estate serving the healthcare industry inthe United States ("U.S."). HealthpeakTM acquires, develops, leases, owns, and manages healthcare real estate. The Company's diverse portfolio is comprised of investments in the following reportable healthcare segments: (i) life science; (ii) medical office; and (iii) continuing care retirement community ("CCRC"). New Corporate Headquarters InNovember 2020 , the Company established a new corporate headquarters inDenver, CO. With properties in nearly every state, the new headquarters provides a favorable mix of affordability and a centralized geographic location. The Company'sIrvine, CA andFranklin, TN offices will continue to operate. Senior Housing Triple-Net and Senior Housing Operating Portfolio Dispositions During 2020, the Company established and began executing a plan to dispose of its senior housing triple-net and Senior Housing Operating ("SHOP") properties. The held for sale criteria for all such assets were met either on or beforeDecember 31, 2020 . As ofDecember 31, 2020 , the Company concluded the planned dispositions represented a strategic shift and therefore, the assets are classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented herein. See Note 5 for further information. COVID-19 Update InMarch 2020 , theWorld Health Organization declared the outbreak caused by the coronavirus ("COVID-19") to be a global pandemic. While COVID-19 continues to evolve daily and its ultimate outcome is uncertain, it has caused significant disruption to individuals, governments, financial markets, and businesses, including the Company. Global health concerns and increased efforts to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted federal, state, and local governments to restrict normal daily activities, and resulted in travel bans, quarantines, school closings, "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, which resulted in closure of many businesses deemed to be non-essential. Although some of these restrictions have since been lifted or scaled back, certain restrictions remain in place or have been re-imposed and any future surges of COVID-19 may lead to other restrictions being re-implemented in response to efforts to reduce the spread. In addition, the Company's tenants, operators and borrowers are facing significant cost increases as a result of increased health and safety measures, including increased staffing demands for patient care and sanitation, as well as increased usage and inventory of critical medical supplies and personal protective equipment. These health and safety measures, which may remain in place for a significant amount of time or be re-imposed from time to time, continue to place a substantial strain on the business operations of many of the Company's tenants, operators, and borrowers. The Company evaluated the impacts of COVID-19 on its business thus far and incorporated information concerning the impact of COVID-19 into its assessments of liquidity, impairments, and collectibility from tenants, residents, and borrowers as ofDecember 31, 2020 . The Company will continue to monitor such impacts and will adjust its estimates and assumptions based on the best available information. NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements in conformity withU.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management's estimates. 81 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts ofHealthpeak Properties, Inc. , its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures and variable interest entities that it controls through voting rights or other means. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company is required to continually evaluate its variable interest entity ("VIE") relationships and consolidate these entities when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of their operations. A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either: (i) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's activities without additional subordinated financial support, (ii) substantially all of an entity's activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights, or (iii) the equity investors as a group lack any of the following: (a) the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of an entity, or (c) the right to receive the expected residual returns of an entity. Criterion (iii) above is generally applied to limited partnerships and similarly structured entities by assessing whether a simple majority of the limited partners hold substantive rights to participate in the significant decisions of the entity or have the ability to remove the decision maker or liquidate the entity without cause. If neither of those criteria are met, the entity is a VIE. The designation of an entity as a VIE is reassessed upon certain events, including, but not limited to: (i) a change to the contractual arrangements of the entity or in the ability of a party to exercise its participation or kick-out rights, (ii) a change to the capitalization structure of the entity, or (iii) acquisitions or sales of interests that constitute a change in control. A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but is not limited to, its form of ownership interest, its representation on the VIE's governing body, the size and seniority of its investment, its ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions, its ability to manage its ownership interest relative to the other interest holders, and its ability to replace the VIE manager and/or liquidate the entity. For its investments in joint ventures that are not considered to be VIEs, the Company evaluates the type of ownership rights held by the limited partner(s) that may preclude consolidation by the majority interest holder. The assessment of limited partners' rights and their impact on the control of a joint venture should be made at inception of the joint venture and continually reassessed. Revenue Recognition Lease Classification At the inception of a new lease arrangement, including new leases that arise from amendments, the Company assesses the terms and conditions to determine the proper lease classification. For leases entered into prior toJanuary 1, 2019 , a lease arrangement was classified as an operating lease if none of the following criteria were met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee prior to or shortly after the end of the lease term, (ii) lessee had a bargain purchase option during or at the end of the lease term, (iii) the lease term was equal to 75% or more of the underlying property's economic life, or (iv) the present value of future minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) was equal to 90% or more of the excess fair value (over retained tax credits) of the leased property. If one of the four criteria was met and the minimum lease payments were determined to be reasonably predictable and collectible, the lease arrangement was generally accounted for as a direct financing lease ("DFL"). Concurrent with the Company's adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02") onJanuary 1, 2019 , the Company began classifying a lease entered into subsequent to adoption as an operating lease if none of the following criteria are met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee by the end of the lease term, (ii) lessee has a purchase option during or at the end of the lease term that it is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, (iv) the present value of future minimum lease payments is equal to substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset, or (v) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the Company at the end of the lease term. 82 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Rental and Related Revenues The Company commences recognition of rental revenue for operating lease arrangements when the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of a leased asset. The tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the leased asset until the Company-owned tenant improvements are substantially complete. If a lease arrangement provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvements funded by the tenant are treated as lease payments which are deferred and amortized into income over the lease term. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded by the Company is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Ownership of tenant improvements is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to, the following criteria: •lease stipulations of how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; •which party to the arrangement retains legal title to the tenant improvements upon lease expiration; •whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; •if the tenant improvements are expected to have significant residual value at the end of the lease term; •the responsible party for construction cost overruns; and •which party constructs or directs the construction of the improvements. Certain leases provide for additional rents that are contingent upon a percentage of the facility's revenue in excess of specified base amounts or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized when actual results reported by the tenant or estimates of tenant results, exceed the base amount or other thresholds, and only after any contingency has been removed (when the related thresholds are achieved). This may result in the recognition of rental revenue in periods subsequent to when such payments are received. Tenant recoveries subject to operating leases generally relate to the reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and repair and maintenance expense, and are recognized as both revenue (in rental and related revenues) and expense (in operating expenses) in the period the expense is incurred as the Company is the party paying the service provider. For operating leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, the Company recognizes income on a straight line basis over the lease term when collectibility of future minimum lease payments is probable. Recognizing rental income on a straight line basis results in a difference in the timing of revenue amounts from what is contractually due from tenants. If the Company determines that collectibility of future minimum lease payments is not probable, the straight-line rent receivable balance is written off and recognized as a decrease in revenue in that period and future revenue recognition is limited to amounts contractually owed and paid. Resident Fees and Services Resident fee revenue is recorded when services are rendered and includes resident room and care charges, community fees and other resident charges. Residency agreements for SHOP and continuing care retirement community ("CCRC") facilities are generally for a term of 30 days to one year, with resident fees billed monthly, in advance. Revenue for certain care related services is recognized as services are provided and is billed monthly in arrears. Certain of the Company's CCRCs are operated as entrance fee communities, which typically require a resident to pay an upfront entrance fee that includes both a refundable portion and non-refundable portion. When the Company receives a nonrefundable entrance fee, it is recorded in deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized into revenue over the estimated stay of the resident. The Company utilizes third-party actuarial experts in its determination of the estimated stay of residents. AtDecember 31, 2020 and 2019, unamortized nonrefundable entrance fee liabilities were$484 million and$68 million , respectively. Income from Direct Financing Leases The Company utilizes the direct finance method of accounting to record DFL income. For a lease accounted for as a DFL, the net investment in the DFL represents receivables for the sum of future minimum lease payments and the estimated residual value of the leased property, less the unamortized unearned income. Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income over the lease term to provide a constant yield when collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably assured. 83 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Interest Income Loans receivable are classified as held-for-investment based on management's intent and ability to hold the loans for the foreseeable future or to maturity. Loans held-for-investment are carried at amortized cost and reduced by a valuation allowance for estimated credit losses, as necessary. The Company recognizes interest income on loans, including the amortization of discounts and premiums, loan fees paid and received, using the interest method. The interest method is applied on a loan-by-loan basis when collectibility of the future payments is reasonably assured. Premiums and discounts are recognized as yield adjustments over the term of the related loans. Gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net The Company recognizes a gain (loss) on sale of real estate when the criteria for an asset to be derecognized are met, which include when: (i) a contract exists, (ii) the buyer obtains control of the asset, and (iii) it is probable that the Company will receive substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of sale. Government Grant Income OnMarch 27, 2020 , the federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") to provide financial aid to individuals, businesses, and state and local governments. During the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , the Company received government grants under the CARES Act primarily to cover increased expenses and lost revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic. Grant income is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all conditions attached to the grant. Additionally, grants are recognized over the periods in which the Company recognizes the increased expenses and lost revenue the grants are intended to defray. As ofDecember 31, 2020 , the amount of qualifying expenditures and lost revenue exceeded grant income recognized and the Company had complied or will continue to comply with all grant conditions. The following table summarizes information related to government grant income: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Government grant income recorded in other income (expense), net$ 16,198 $ - $ - Government grant income recorded in equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures 1,279 - -

FromJanuary 1, 2021 throughFebruary 8, 2021 , the Company received$3 million in government grants under the CARES Act, which will be recognized during the first quarter of 2021. Credit Losses The Company evaluates the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants, operators, and borrowers on a monthly and quarterly basis. The Company's evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, individual and portfolio property performance, credit enhancements, liquidity, and other factors. The Company's tenants, operators, and borrowers furnish property, portfolio, and guarantor/operator-level financial statements, among other information, on a monthly or quarterly basis; the Company utilizes this financial information to calculate the lease or debt service coverages that it uses as a primary credit quality indicator. Lease and debt service coverage information is evaluated together with other property, portfolio, and operator performance information, including revenue, expense, net operating income, occupancy, rental rate, reimbursement trends, capital expenditures, and EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, tax, and depreciation and amortization), along with other liquidity measures. The Company evaluates, on a monthly basis or immediately upon a significant change in circumstance, its tenants', operators', and borrowers' ability to service their obligations with the Company. If it is no longer probable that substantially all future minimum lease payments under operating leases will be received, the straight-line rent receivable balance is written off and recognized as a decrease in revenue in that period. 84 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents In connection with the Company's quarterly review process or upon the occurrence of a significant event, loans receivable and DFLs (collectively, "finance receivables"), are reviewed and assigned an internal rating of Performing,Watch List , or Workout. Finance receivables that are deemed Performing meet all present contractual obligations, and collection and timing, of all amounts owed is reasonably assured.Watch List finance receivables are defined as finance receivables that do not meet the definition of Performing or Workout. Workout finance receivables are defined as finance receivables in which the Company has determined, based on current information and events, that: (i) it is probable it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreement, (ii) the tenant, operator, or borrower is delinquent on making payments under the contractual terms of the agreement, and (iii) the Company has commenced action or anticipates pursuing action in the near term to seek recovery of its investment. Finance receivables are placed on nonaccrual status when management determines that the collectibility of contractual amounts is not reasonably assured (the asset will have an internal rating of eitherWatch List or Workout). Further, the Company performs a credit analysis to support the tenant's, operator's, borrower's, and/or guarantor's repayment capacity and the underlying collateral values. The Company uses the cash basis method of accounting for finance receivables placed on nonaccrual status unless one of the following conditions exist whereby it utilizes the cost recovery method of accounting if: (i) the Company determines that it is probable that it will only recover the recorded investment in the finance receivable, net of associated allowances or charge-offs (if any), or (ii) the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of an impaired finance receivable. For cash basis method of accounting, the Company applies payments received, excluding principal paydowns, to interest income so long as that amount does not exceed the amount that would have been earned under the original contractual terms. For cost recovery method of accounting, any payment received is applied to reduce the recorded investment. Generally, the Company returns a finance receivable to accrual status when all delinquent payments become current under the terms of the loan or lease agreements and collectibility of the remaining contractual loan or lease payments is reasonably assured. Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13") onJanuary 1, 2020 , allowances were established for finance receivables on an individual basis utilizing an estimate of probable losses, if they were determined to be impaired. Finance receivables were impaired when it was deemed probable that the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the finance receivable. An allowance was based upon the Company's assessment of the borrower's overall financial condition, economic resources, payment record, the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors and, if appropriate, the net realizable value of any collateral. These estimates considered all available evidence, including the expected future cash flows discounted at the finance receivable's effective interest rate, fair value of collateral, general economic conditions and trends, historical and industry loss experience, and other relevant factors, as appropriate. If a finance receivable was deemed partially or wholly uncollectible, the uncollectible balance was charged off against the allowance in the period in which the uncollectible determination was made. Subsequent to adopting ASU 2016-13 onJanuary 1, 2020 , the Company began using a loss model that relies on future expected credit losses, rather than incurred losses, as was required under historicalU.S. GAAP. Under the new model, the Company is required to recognize future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of a finance receivable at inception of that instrument. The model emphasizes historical experience and future market expectations to determine a loss to be recognized at inception. However, the model continues to be applied on an individual basis and to rely on counter-party specific information to ensure the most accurate estimate is recognized. Real Estate The Company's real estate acquisitions are generally classified as asset acquisitions for which the Company records identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any associated noncontrolling interests at cost on a relative fair value basis. In addition, for such asset acquisitions, no goodwill is recognized, third party transaction costs are capitalized and any associated contingent consideration is generally recorded when the amount of consideration is reasonably estimable and probable of being paid. The Company assesses fair value based on available market information, such as capitalization and discount rates, comparable sale transactions, and relevant per square foot or unit cost information. A real estate asset's fair value may be determined utilizing cash flow projections that incorporate such market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, as well as market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property is based on the value of the property as if it is vacant. 85 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The Company recognizes acquired "above and below market" leases at their relative fair value (for asset acquisitions) using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired. The fair value is based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for each in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases and the initial term plus the extended term for any leases with renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on an evaluation of the specific characteristics of each property and the acquired tenant lease(s). Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes estimates of lost rents at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, which are dependent on local market conditions and expected trends. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions, legal, and other related costs. Certain of the Company's acquisitions involve the assumption of contract liabilities. The Company typically estimates the fair value of contract liabilities by applying a reasonable profit margin to the total discounted estimated future costs associated with servicing the contract. A variety of market and contract-specific conditions are considered when making assumptions that impact the estimated fair value of the contract liability. The Company capitalizes direct construction and development costs, including predevelopment costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the development or construction of a real estate asset. The Company capitalizes construction and development costs while substantive activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. The Company considers a construction project as substantially complete and held available for occupancy upon the completion of Company-owned tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of significant construction activity. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, or after development activities have ceased, are expensed as incurred. For redevelopment of existing operating properties, the Company capitalizes the cost for the construction and improvement incurred in connection with the redevelopment. Costs previously capitalized related to abandoned developments/redevelopments are charged to earnings. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company considers costs incurred in conjunction with re-leasing properties, including tenant improvements and lease commissions, to represent the acquisition of productive assets and such costs are reflected as investing activities in the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company computes depreciation on properties using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives. Depreciation is discontinued when a property is identified as held for sale. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over useful lives ranging up to 60 years. Above and below market lease intangibles are amortized to revenue over the remaining noncancellable lease terms and renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised, if any. In-place lease intangibles are amortized to expense over the remaining noncancellable lease term and renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised, if any. Concurrent with the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-02 onJanuary 1, 2019 , the Company elected to recognize expense associated with short-term leases (those with a noncancellable lease term of 12 months or less) under which the Company is the lessee on a straight-line basis and not recognize those leases on its consolidated balance sheets. For leases other than short-term operating leases under which the Company is the lessee, such as ground leases and corporate office leases, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and related lease liability on its consolidated balance sheet at inception of the lease. The lease liability is calculated as the sum of: (i) the present value of minimum lease payments at lease commencement (discounted using the Company's secured incremental borrowing rate) and (ii) the present value of amounts probable of being paid under any residual value guarantees. The right-of-use asset is calculated as the lease liability, adjusted for the following: (i) any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, minus any lease incentives received and (ii) any initial direct costs incurred by the Company. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets andGoodwill The Company assesses the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles ("real estate assets") when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company tests its real estate assets for impairment by comparing the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the real estate assets. The expected future undiscounted cash flows reflect external market factors and are probability-weighted to reflect multiple possible cash-flow scenarios, including selling the assets at various points in the future. Further, the analysis considers the impact, if any, of master lease agreements on cash flows, which are calculated utilizing the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value exceeds the expected future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss will be recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the real estate assets exceeds their fair value. 86 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Determining the fair value of real estate assets, including assets classified as held-for-sale, involves significant judgment and generally utilizes market capitalization rates, comparable market transactions, estimated per unit or per square foot prices, negotiations with prospective buyers, and forecasted cash flows (lease revenue rates, expense rates, growth rates, etc.). When testing goodwill for impairment, if the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued OperationsThe Company classifies a real estate property as held for sale when: (i) management has approved the disposal, (ii) the property is available for sale in its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, (iv) it is probable that the property will be disposed of within one year, (v) the property is being marketed at a reasonable price relative to its fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that the disposal plan will significantly change or be withdrawn. If a real estate property is classified as held for sale, it is reported at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and no longer depreciated. The Company classifies a loan receivable as held for sale when management no longer has the intent and ability to hold the loan receivable for the foreseeable future or until maturity. If a loan receivable is classified as held for sale, it is reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. A discontinued operation represents: (i) a component of the Company or group of components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale in a single transaction and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results or (ii) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition. Examples of a strategic shift may include disposing of: (i) a separate major line of business, (ii) a separate major geographic area of operations, or (iii) other major parts of the Company. Investments inUnconsolidated Joint Ventures Investments in entities the Company does not consolidate, but over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are reported under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's share of the investee's earnings or losses is included in equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures within the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The initial carrying value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is based on the amount paid to purchase the joint venture interest, the fair value of assets contributed to the joint venture, or the fair value of the assets prior to the sale of interests in the joint venture. To the extent that the Company's cost basis is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture level, the basis difference is generally amortized over the lives of the related assets and liabilities, and such amortization is included in the Company's share of equity in earnings of the joint venture. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment based on a comparison of the fair value of the equity method investment to its carrying value. When the Company determines a decline in fair value below carrying value of an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture is other-than-temporary, an impairment is recorded. The Company recognizes gains on the sale of interests in joint ventures to the extent the economic substance of the transaction is a sale. The Company's fair values of its equity method investments are determined based on discounted cash flow models that include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period and, where applicable, any estimated debt premiums or discounts. Capitalization rates, discount rates, and credit spreads utilized in these valuation models are based on assumptions that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective investments. Share-Based Compensation Compensation expense for share-based awards granted to employees with graded vesting schedules is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Forfeitures of share-based awards are recognized as they occur. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held by mortgage lenders to provide for: (i) real estate tax expenditures, (ii) tenant improvements, and (iii) capital expenditures, as well as security deposits and net proceeds from property sales that were executed as tax-deferred dispositions. 87 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Derivatives and Hedging During its normal course of business, the Company uses certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing interest rate and foreign currency risk. To qualify for hedge accounting, derivative instruments used for risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk exposure that they are designed to hedge. In addition, at inception of a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship, the underlying transaction or transactions, must be, and are expected to remain, probable of occurring in accordance with the Company's related assertions. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated, as assets or liabilities to the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated in hedging relationships or that do not meet the criteria of hedge accounting are recognized in earnings. For derivative instruments designated in qualifying cash flow hedging relationships, changes in fair value related to the effective portion of the derivative instruments are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), whereas changes in fair value of the ineffective portion are recognized in earnings. If it is determined that a derivative instrument ceases to be highly effective as a hedge, or that it is probable the underlying forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues its cash flow hedge accounting prospectively and records the appropriate adjustment to earnings based on the current fair value of the derivative instrument. For net investment hedge accounting, upon sale or liquidation of the hedged investment, the cumulative balance of the remeasurement value is reclassified to earnings. Income TaxesHealthpeak Properties, Inc. has elected REIT status and believes it has always operated so as to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Accordingly,Healthpeak Properties, Inc. will generally not be subject toU.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and makes distributions to stockholders equal to or in excess of its taxable income. In addition, the Company has formed several consolidated subsidiaries that have elected REIT status.Healthpeak Properties, Inc. and its consolidated REIT subsidiaries are each subject to the REIT qualification requirements under the Code. If any REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years.Healthpeak Properties, Inc. and its consolidated REIT subsidiaries are subject to state, local, and/or foreign income taxes in some jurisdictions. In certain circumstances each REIT may also be subject to federal excise taxes on undistributed income. In addition, certain activities that the Company undertakes may be conducted by entities that have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"). TRSs are subject to federal, state, and local income taxes. The Company recognizes tax penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits as additional income tax expense. Interest relating to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized as interest expense. The Company is required to evaluate its deferred tax assets for realizability and recognize a valuation allowance, which is recorded against its deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers all available evidence in its determination of whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is required. Advertising Costs All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported within operating expenses. During the years endedDecember 31, 2020 , 2019, and 2018, total advertising expense was$18 million ,$13 million , and$9 million , respectively ($12 million ,$13 million , and$9 million , respectively, of which is reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations). Capital Raising Issuance Costs Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of common shares are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Debt issuance costs related to debt instruments, excluding line of credit arrangements and commercial paper, are deferred, recorded as a reduction of the related debt liability, and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt liability utilizing the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements and commercial paper are deferred, included in other assets, and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related line of credit arrangement. Commercial paper are unsecured short-term debt securities with varying maturities. A line of credit serves as a liquidity backstop for repayment of commercial paper borrowings. Penalties incurred to extinguish debt and any remaining unamortized debt issuance costs, discounts, and premiums are recognized as income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations at the time of extinguishment. 88 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Segment Reporting The Company's reportable segments, based on how it evaluates its business and allocates resources, are as follows: (i) life science, (ii) medical office, and (iii) CCRC. In conjunction with establishing and beginning execution of a plan to dispose of the Company's senior housing triple-net and SHOP portfolios during 2020, both of these previously reportable segments are now classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented herein. See Notes 1 and 5 for further information. InDecember 2020 , as a result of a change in how operating results are reported to the Company's chief operating decision makers ("CODMs") for the purpose of evaluating performance and allocating resources, the Company's hospitals were reclassified from other non-reportable segments to the medical office segment and the Company's one remaining unconsolidated investment in a senior housing joint venture was reclassified from the SHOP segment to other non-reportable segments. Additionally, inJanuary 2020 , primarily as a result of: (i) consolidating 13 of 15 CCRCs previously held by a CCRC joint venture (see discussion of the Brookdale 2019 Master Transaction and Cooperation Agreement in Note 3) and (ii) deconsolidating 19 SHOP assets into a new joint venture inDecember 2019 , the Company's CODMs began reviewing operating results of CCRCs on a stand-alone basis and financial information for each respective segment inclusive of the Company's share of unconsolidated joint ventures and exclusive of noncontrolling interests' share of consolidated joint ventures. Therefore, during the first quarter of 2020, the Company began reporting CCRCs as a separate segment and segment measures inclusive of the Company's share of unconsolidated joint ventures and exclusive of noncontrolling interests' share of consolidated joint ventures. All prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. Noncontrolling Interests Arrangements with noncontrolling interest holders are assessed for appropriate balance sheet classification based on the redemption and other rights held by the noncontrolling interest holder. Net income (loss) attributable to a noncontrolling interest is included in net income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations and, upon a gain or loss of control, the interest purchased or sold, and any interest retained, is recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. The Company accounts for purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control as equity transactions. The Company consolidates non-managing member limited liability companies ("DownREITs") because it exercises control, and the noncontrolling interests in these entities are carried at cost. The non-managing member limited liability company ("LLC") units ("DownREIT units") are exchangeable for an amount of cash approximating the then-current market value of shares of the Company's common stock or, at the Company's option, shares of the Company's common stock (subject to certain adjustments, such as stock splits and reclassifications). Upon exchange of DownREIT units for the Company's common stock, the carrying amount of the DownREIT units is reclassified to stockholders' equity. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are translated intoU.S. dollars use exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies that are translated intoU.S. dollars use average rates of exchange in effect during the related period. Gains or losses resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are translated intoU.S. dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The effects of transaction gains or losses are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Fair Value Measurement The Company measures and discloses the fair value of nonfinancial and financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy: •Level 1-quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; •Level 2-quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and 89 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents •Level 3-fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The Company measures fair value using a set of standardized procedures that are outlined herein for all assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value. When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. In instances where a market price is available, but the instrument is in an inactive or over-the-counter market, the Company consistently applies the dealer (market maker) pricing estimate and classifies the asset or liability in Level 2. If quoted market prices or inputs are not available, fair value measurements are based on valuation models that utilize current market or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, option volatilities, credit spreads, and/or market capitalization rates. Items valued using such internally-generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As a result, the asset or liability could be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. Internal fair value models and techniques used by the Company include discounted cash flow models. The Company also considers its counterparty's and own credit risk for derivative instruments and other liabilities measured at fair value. The Company has elected the mid-market pricing expedient when determining fair value. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company accounts for unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable dividend rights or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities, which are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by including the effect of dilutive securities, such as the impact of forward equity sales agreements using the treasury stock method and common shares issuable from the assumed conversion of DownREIT units, stock options, certain performance restricted stock units, and unvested restricted stock units. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Revenue Recognition. BetweenMay 2014 andFebruary 2017 , theFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued four ASUs changing the requirements for recognizing and reporting revenue (together, herein referred to as the "Revenue ASUs"): (i) ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), (ii) ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) ("ASU 2016-08"), (iii) ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ("ASU 2016-12"), and (iv) ASU No. 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets ("ASU 2017-05"). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2016-08 is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU 2016-12 provides practical expedients and improvements on the previously narrow scope of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope of the FASB's guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition and aligns the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets and in-substance nonfinancial assets with the guidance in ASU 2014-09. The Company adopted the Revenue ASUs effectiveJanuary 1, 2018 and utilized a modified retrospective adoption approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity of$79 million as ofJanuary 1, 2018 . Under the Revenue ASUs, the Company also elected to utilize a practical expedient which allowed the Company to only reassess contracts that were not completed as of the adoption date, rather than all historical contracts. 90 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents As the timing and recognition of the majority of the Company's revenue is the same whether accounted for under the Revenue ASUs or lease accounting guidance (see discussion below), the impact of the Revenue ASUs, upon and subsequent to adoption, is generally limited to the following: •Prior to the adoption of the Revenue ASUs, the Company recognized a gain on sale of real estate using the full accrual method when collectibility of the sales price was reasonably assured, the Company was not obligated to perform additional activities that may be considered significant, the initial investment from the buyer was sufficient, and other profit recognition criteria had been satisfied. The Company deferred all or a portion of a gain on sale of real estate if the requirements for gain recognition were not met at the time of sale. Subsequent to adopting the Revenue ASUs onJanuary 1, 2018 , the Company began recognizing a gain on sale of real estate upon transferring control of the asset to the purchaser, which is generally satisfied at the time of sale. In conjunction with its adoption of the Revenue ASUs, the Company reassessed its historical partial sale of real estate transactions to determine which transactions, if any, were not completed contracts (i.e., the transaction did not qualify for sale treatment under previous guidance). The Company concluded that it had one such material transaction, its partial sale of RIDEA II in the first quarter of 2017 (which was not a completed sale under historical guidance as of the Company's adoption date due to a minor obligation related to the interest sold). In accordance with the Revenue ASUs, the Company recorded its retained 40% equity investment at fair value as of the sale date. As a result, the Company recorded an adjustment to equity as ofJanuary 1, 2018 (under the modified retrospective transition approach) representing a step-up in the fair value of its equity investment in RIDEA II of$107 million (to a carrying value of$121 million as ofJanuary 1, 2018 ) and a$30 million impairment charge to decrease the carrying value to the sales price of the investment (see Note 5). The Company completed the sale of its equity investment inJune 2018 and no longer holds an economic interest in RIDEA II. •The Company generally expects that the Revenue ASUs will result in certain transactions qualifying as sales of real estate at an earlier date than under historical accounting guidance. Leases. InFebruary 2016 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 (codified under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, Leases) amends the previous accounting for leases to: (i) require lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets (not required for short-term leases with lease terms of 12 months or less), but continue recognizing expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to requirements under prior accounting guidance, (ii) eliminate real estate specific lease provisions, and (iii) modify the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type leases for lessors. Additionally, ASU 2016-02 provides a practical expedient, which the Company elected, that allows an entity to not reassess the following upon adoption (must be elected as a group): (i) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease arrangement, (ii) lease classification related to expired or existing lease arrangements, or (iii) whether costs incurred on expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-02 onJanuary 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity of$1 million as ofJanuary 1, 2019 . Under ASU 2016-02, the Company began capitalizing fewer costs related to the drafting and negotiation of its lease agreements. Additionally, the Company began recognizing all of its significant operating leases for which it is the lessee, including corporate office leases, equipment leases, and ground leases, on its consolidated balance sheets as a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. As such, the Company recognized a lease liability of$153 million and right-of-use asset of$166 million onJanuary 1, 2019 . The aggregate lease liability was calculated as the present value of minimum lease payments, discounted using a rate that approximated the Company's secured incremental borrowing rate at the time of adoption, adjusted for the noncancelable term of each lease. The right-of-use asset was calculated as the aggregate lease liability, adjusted for the existing accrued straight-line rent liability balance of$20 million and net unamortized above/below market ground lease intangible assets of$33 million . Under ASU 2016-02, a practical expedient was offered to lessees to make a policy election, which the Company elected, to not separate lease and nonlease components, but rather account for the combined components as a single lease component under ASC 842. InJuly 2018 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements ("ASU 2018-11"), which provides lessors with a similar option to elect a practical expedient allowing them to not separate lease and nonlease components in a contract for the purpose of revenue recognition and disclosure. This practical expedient is limited to circumstances in which: (i) the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the nonlease component and the related lease component and (ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. This practical expedient causes an entity to assess whether a contract is predominantly lease or service based and recognize the entire contract under the relevant accounting guidance (i.e., predominantly lease-based would be accounted for under ASU 2016-02 and predominantly service-based would be accounted for under the Revenue ASUs). The Company elected this practical expedient as well and, as a result, beginningJanuary 1, 2019 , the Company recognizes revenue from its senior housing triple-net, medical office, and life science properties under ASC 842 and revenue from its SHOP and CCRC properties under the Revenue ASUs (codified under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers). 91 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents InDecember 2018 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow Scope Improvements for Lessors ("ASU 2018-20"), which requires that a lessor: (i) exclude certain lessor costs paid directly by a lessee to third parties on behalf of the lessor from a lessor's measurement of variable lease revenue and associated expense (i.e., no gross up of revenue and expense for these costs,) and (ii) include lessor costs that are paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessee in the measurement of variable lease revenue and the associated expense (i.e., gross up revenue and expense for these costs). This is consistent with the Company's historical presentation and did not require a change onJanuary 1, 2019 . Credit Losses. InJune 2016 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the "probable" initial threshold for recognition of credit losses in previous accounting guidance and, instead, reflect an entity's current estimate of all expected credit losses over the life of the financial instrument. Historically, when credit losses were measured under previous accounting guidance, an entity generally only considered past events and current conditions in measuring the incurred loss. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-13 onJanuary 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective transition approach, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity of$2 million as ofJanuary 1, 2020 . Under ASU 2016-13, the Company began using a loss model that relies on future expected credit losses, rather than incurred losses, as was required under historical GAAP. Under the new model, the Company is required to recognize future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of its finance receivables, including loans receivable, direct financing leases ("DFLs"), and certain accounts receivable, at inception of those instruments. The model emphasizes historical experience and future market expectations to determine a loss to be recognized at inception. However, the model continues to be applied on an individual basis and rely on counter-party specific information to ensure the most accurate estimate is recognized. The Company will reassess its reserves on finance receivables at each balance sheet date to determine if an adjustment to the previous reserve is necessary. Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to COVID-19. InApril 2020 , the FASB staff issued a question-and-answer document (the "Lease Modification Q&A") focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. Under ASC 842, the Company would have to determine, on a lease-by-lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease-by-lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. During the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , the Company provided rent deferrals (to be repaid before the end of 2020) to certain tenants in its life science and medical office segments that were impacted by COVID-19 (discussed in further detail in Note 7). As it relates to these deferrals, the Company elected to not assess them on a lease-by-lease basis and to continue recognizing rent revenue on a straight-line basis. While the Company's election for rent deferrals will be applied consistently to future deferrals of a similar nature, if the Company grants future lease concessions of a different type (such as rent abatements), it will make an election related to those concessions at that time. NOTE 3. Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement with Brookdale 2019 Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement with Brookdale InOctober 2019 , the Company and Brookdale Senior Living Inc. ("Brookdale") entered into a Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement (the "2019 MTCA"), which includes a series of transactions related to its previously jointly owned 15-campus CCRC portfolio (the "CCRC JV") and the portfolio of senior housing properties Brookdale triple-net leased from the Company, which, at the time, included 43 properties. In connection with the 2019 MTCA, the Company and Brookdale, and certain of their respective subsidiaries, closed the following transactions related to the CCRC JV onJanuary 31, 2020 : •The Company, which owned a 49% interest in the CCRC JV, purchased Brookdale's 51% interest in 13 of the 15 communities in the CCRC JV based on a valuation of$1.06 billion (the "CCRC Acquisition"); •The management agreements related to the CCRC Acquisition communities were terminated and management transitioned (under new management agreements) from Brookdale toLife Care Services LLC ("LCS"); and •The Company paid a$100 million management termination fee to Brookdale. 92 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents In addition, pursuant to the 2019 MTCA, the Company and Brookdale closed the following transactions related to properties Brookdale triple-net leased from the Company onJanuary 31, 2020 : •Brookdale acquired 18 of the properties from the Company (the "Brookdale Acquisition Assets") for cash proceeds of$385 million ; •The remaining 24 properties (excludes one property to be transitioned or sold to a third party, as discussed below) were restructured into a single master lease with 2.4% annual rent escalators and a maturity date ofDecember 31, 2027 (the "2019 AmendedMaster Lease "); •A portion of annual rent (amount in excess of 6.5% of sales proceeds) related to 14 of the 18 Brookdale Acquisition Assets was reallocated to the remaining properties under the 2019 AmendedMaster Lease ; and •Brookdale paid down$20 million of future rent under the 2019 AmendedMaster Lease . As agreed to by the Company and Brookdale under the 2019 MTCA, inDecember 2020 , the Company terminated the triple-net lease related to one property and converted it to a RIDEA structure. The 24 assets under the 2019 AmendedMaster Lease were sold inJanuary 2021 (see Note 5). Additionally, under the 2019 MTCA, the Company and Brookdale agreed to the following transactions which have not yet been completed: •The CCRC JV will sell the remaining two CCRCs, which are being marketed for sale to third parties; •The Company will provide up to$35 million of capital investment in the 2019 AmendedMaster Lease properties over a five-year term, which will increase rent by 7% of the amount spent, per annum. As ofDecember 31, 2020 , the Company had funded$5 million of this capital investment. Upon selling the 24 assets under the 2019 AmendedMaster Lease inJanuary 2021 , the remaining capital investment obligation was transferred to the buyer. As a result of the above transactions, onJanuary 31, 2020 , the Company began consolidating the 13 CCRCs in which it acquired Brookdale's interest. Accordingly, the Company derecognized its investment in the CCRC JV of$323 million and recognized a gain upon change of control of$170 million , which is included in other income (expense), net. In connection with consolidating the 13 CCRCs during the first quarter of 2020, the Company recognized real estate and intangible assets of$1.8 billion , refundable entrance fee liabilities of$308 million , contractual liabilities associated with previously collected non-refundable entrance fees of$436 million , debt assumed of$215 million , other net assets of$48 million , and cash paid of$396 million . Upon sale of the 18 senior housing triple-net assets to Brookdale, the Company recognized an aggregate gain on sales of real estate of$164 million , which is recorded within income (loss) from discontinued operations. Fair Value Measurement Techniques and Quantitative Information AtJanuary 31 , 2020, the Company performed a fair value assessment of each of the 2019 MTCA components that provided measurable economic benefit or detriment to the Company. Each fair value calculation was based on an income or market approach and relied on historical and forecasted net operating income, actuarial assumptions about the expected resident length of stay, and market data, including, but not limited to, discount rates ranging from 10% to 12%, annual rent escalators ranging from 2% to 3%, and real estate capitalization rates ranging from 7% to 9%. All assumptions were considered to be Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. 2017 MTCA with Brookdale In November 2017, the Company and Brookdale entered into a Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement (the "2017 MTCA") to provide the Company with the ability to significantly reduce its concentration of assets leased to and/or managed by Brookdale. In connection with the overall transaction pursuant to the 2017 MTCA, the Company and Brookdale, and certain of their respective subsidiaries, agreed to the following: •The Company, which owned 90% of the interests in its RIDEA I and RIDEA III joint ventures with Brookdale at the time the 2017 MTCA was executed, agreed to purchase Brookdale's 10% noncontrolling interest in each joint venture. At the time the 2017 MTCA was executed, these joint ventures collectively owned and operated 58 independent living, assisted living, memory care, and/or skilled nursing facilities (the "RIDEA Facilities"). The Company completed its acquisitions of the RIDEA III noncontrolling interest for $32 million in December 2017 and the RIDEA I noncontrolling interest for $63 million in March 2018; •The Company received the right to sell, or transition to other operators, 32 of the 78 total assets under an Amended and RestatedMaster Lease and Security Agreement (the "2017 AmendedMaster Lease ") with Brookdale and 36 of the RIDEA Facilities (and terminate related management agreements with an affiliate of Brookdale without penalty), certain of which were sold during 2018 and 2019; 93 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents •The Company provided an aggregate $5 million annual reduction in rent on three assets, effective January 1, 2018; and •Brookdale agreed to purchase two of the assets under the 2017 AmendedMaster Lease for $35 million and four of the RIDEA Facilities for $240 million, all of which were sold in 2018. During 2018, the Company terminated the previous management agreements or leases with Brookdale on 37 assets contemplated under the 2017 MTCA and completed the transition of 20 SHOP assets and 17 senior housing triple-net assets to other managers.

RIDEA II Sale Transaction In January 2017, the Company completed the contribution of its ownership interest in RIDEA II to an unconsolidated joint venture owned by Healthpeak and an investor group led by Columbia Pacific Advisors, LLC ("CPA") (the "Healthpeak/CPA JV"). Also in January 2017, RIDEA II was recapitalized with $602 million of debt, of which $360 million was provided by a third-party and $242 million was provided by the Company. In return for both transaction elements, the Company received combined proceeds of $480 million from the Healthpeak/CPA JV and $242 million in loans receivable and retained an approximately 40% ownership interest in RIDEA II. This transaction resulted in the Company deconsolidating the net assets of RIDEA II and recognizing a net gain on sale of $99 million. Refer to Note 2 for the impact of adopting the Revenue ASUs on January 1, 2018 to the Company's partial sale of RIDEA II in the first quarter of 2017. In June 2018, the Company sold its remaining 40% ownership interest in RIDEA II to an investor group led by CPA for $91 million. Additionally, CPA refinanced the Company's $242 million of loans receivable from RIDEA II, resulting in total proceeds of $332 million. The Company no longer holds an economic interest in RIDEA II. U.K. Portfolio In June 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture with an institutional investor (the "U.K. JV") through which the Company sold a 51% interest in substantially allUnited Kingdom ("U.K.") assets previously owned by the Company (the "U.K. Portfolio") based on a total value of £382 million ($507 million). The Company retained a 49% noncontrolling interest in theU.K. JV and received gross proceeds of $402 million, including proceeds from the refinancing of the Company's previously held intercompany loans. Upon closing theU.K. JV, the Company deconsolidated theU.K. Portfolio, recognized its retained noncontrolling interest investment at fair value ($105 million) and recognized a gain on sale of $11 million, net of $17 million of cumulative foreign currency translation reclassified from other comprehensive income recorded in gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net (see Note 22 for the reclassification impact of the Company's hedge of its net investment in theU.K. ). TheU.K. JV provides numerous mechanisms by which the joint venture partner can acquire the Company's remaining interest in theU.K. JV.

Impairments Real Estate During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an aggregate impairment charge of $210 million ($201 million of which is reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations) related to 42 SHOP assets, 5 senior housing triple-net assets, 5 MOBs, and 1 undeveloped MOB land parcel as a result of being classified as held for sale and wrote down their aggregate carrying value of $960 million to their aggregate fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of $750 million. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $15 million related to one life science facility that it intends to demolish for a future development project. The fair value of the impaired assets was based on forecasted sales prices, which are considered to be Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Forecasted sales prices were determined using an income approach and/or a market approach (comparable sales model), which rely on certain assumptions by management, including: (i) market capitalization rates, (ii) comparable market transactions, (iii) estimated prices per unit, (iv) negotiations with prospective buyers, and (v) forecasted cash flow streams (lease revenue rates, expense rates, growth rates, etc.). There are inherent uncertainties in making these assumptions. For the Company's impairment calculations during and as of the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company's fair value estimates primarily relied on a market approach and utilized prices per unit ranging from $13,000 to $300,000, with a weighted average price per unit of $164,000. When utilizing the income approach, assumptions include, but are not limited to, terminal capitalization rates ranging from 5.5% to 7.5% and discount rates ranging from 8.0% to 9.5%. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized an aggregate impairment charge of $194 million ($189 million of which is reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations) related to 8 senior housing triple-net assets, 27 SHOP assets, 3 MOBs, and 1 other non-reportable asset as a result of being classified as held for sale and wrote down their aggregate carrying value of $416 million to their aggregate fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of $223 million. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company also recognized an impairment charge of $4 million related to one MOB that it intends to demolish for a future development project. 99 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The fair value of the impaired assets was based on forecasted sales prices, which are considered to be Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. For the Company's impairment calculations during and as of the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company estimated the fair value of each asset using either (i) market capitalization rates ranging from 4.97% to 8.27%, with a weighted average rate of 6.22% or (ii) prices per unit ranging from $24,000 to $125,000, with a weighted average price of $73,000. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company determined the carrying value of two MOBs and one SHOP asset that were candidates for potential future sale were no longer recoverable due to the Company's shortened intended hold period under the held-for-use impairment model. Accordingly, the Company wrote-down the carrying amount of these three assets to their respective fair value, which resulted in an aggregate impairment charge of $18 million ($9 million of which is reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations). The fair value of the assets are considered to be Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. During the year ended December 31, 2018, in conjunction with classifying the assets as held for sale, the Company determined that 17 underperforming SHOP assets and one undeveloped life science land parcel were impaired. Additionally, the Company determined that three additional underperforming SHOP assets that were candidates for potential future sale were impaired under the held-for-use impairment model. Accordingly, the Company recognized total impairment charges of $52 million ($44 million of which is reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations), during the year ended December 31, 2018 to write-down the carrying value of the assets to their respective fair values (less estimated costs to sell for assets classified as held for sale). The fair value of the assets was based on contracted or forecasted sales prices and expected future cash flows, which are considered to be Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Casualty-Related During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized a $5 million casualty-related gain, net of deferred tax impacts, as a result of insurance proceeds received for property damage and other associated costs related to hurricanes in 2017. Of the total $5 million, $2 million is recorded in other income (expense), net, and $3 million is recorded in income (loss) from discontinued operations.

As a result, the Company derecognized the $351 million carrying value of the net investment in DFL related to the 14 properties and recognized a combination of net real estate ($331 million) and net intangibles assets ($20 million) for the same aggregate amount, with no gain or loss recognized. As a result of the transaction, the 14 properties were transferred from the senior housing triple-net segment to the SHOP segment during the first quarter of 2019. 2019 Direct Financing Lease Sale During the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into agreements to sell 13 senior housing facilities under DFLs (the "DFL Sale Portfolio") for $274 million. Upon entering into the agreements, the Company recognized an allowance for DFL losses and related impairment charge of $10 million (recognized in income (loss) from discontinued operations) to write-down the carrying value of the DFL Sale Portfolio to its fair value. The fair value of the DFL Sale Portfolio was based upon the agreed upon sale price, less estimated costs to sell, which was considered to be a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. In conjunction with the entering into agreements to sell the DFL Sale Portfolio, the Company placed the portfolio on nonaccrual status and began recognizing income equal to the amount of cash received. The Company completed the sale of the DFL Sale Portfolio in September 2019. For the DFL Sale Portfolio, during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, income from DFLs was $17 million and $24 million (recognized in income (loss) from discontinued operations), respectively, and cash payments received were $16 million and $20 million, respectively.

The Company's evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, individual and portfolio property performance, credit enhancements, liquidity, and other factors. The Company's borrowers furnish property, portfolio, and guarantor/operator-level financial statements, among other information, on a monthly or quarterly basis, which the Company utilizes to calculate the debt service coverages used in its assessment of internal ratings, which is a primary credit quality indicator. Debt service coverage information is evaluated together with other property, portfolio, and operator performance information, including revenue, expense, net operating income, occupancy, rental rates, capital expenditures, and EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, tax, and depreciation and amortization), along with other liquidity measures. 105 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents In its assessment of current expected credit losses for loans receivable and unfunded loan commitments, the Company utilizes past payment history of its borrowers, current economic conditions, and forecasted economic conditions through the maturity date of each loan to estimate a probability of default and a resulting loss for each loan receivable.
