Ventas Reports 17 Percent Increase in 2011 Normalized FFO to $3.37 Per Diluted Share

First Quarter 2012 Dividend Increases 8 Percent to $0.62 Per Share

Ventas Expects 2012 Normalized FFO Per Diluted Share to Range Between $3.63 and $3.69

CHICAGO--()--Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR) (“Ventas” or the “Company”) said today that normalized Funds From Operations (“FFO”) for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased approximately 71.1 percent to $777.0 million, from $454.0 million for the comparable 2010 period. Normalized FFO per diluted common share was $3.37 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 17.0 percent from $2.88 for the comparable 2010 period. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the full year rose by 46.4 percent to 230.8 million, compared to 157.7 million in 2010.

The substantial growth in 2011 normalized FFO per diluted common share from 2010 is due to the Company’s acquisitions of Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. (“NHP”) and 117 properties managed by Atria Senior Living, Inc. (“Atria”), the full year benefit of 2010 acquisitions, including the medical office building (“MOB”) portfolio acquired with the Company’s Lillibridge Healthcare Services subsidiary (“Lillibridge”), increased net operating income from the Company’s seniors housing communities managed by Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. (NYSE: SRZ) (“Sunrise”), and rental increases from the Company’s triple-net lease portfolio, partially offset by increases in general and administrative expenses (including stock-based compensation), higher interest expense and higher weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

“Ventas delivered excellent results in 2011, as our portfolio performed well while we successfully integrated over $11 billion of accretive acquisitions,” Ventas Chairman and CEO Debra A. Cafaro said. “We have a highly diversified portfolio approaching 1,400 properties, with nearly 80 percent of our annualized revenues derived from private pay sources, an outstanding balance sheet and an attractive cost of capital. We have positioned Ventas to be a leader in the $1 trillion healthcare real estate market as it consolidates,” she said. “Our proven and dedicated management team will use these powerful attributes to deliver consistent superior total returns to our shareholders.”

Normalized FFO for the year ended December 31, 2011 excludes the net benefit (totaling $47.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted share) from net litigation proceeds and income tax benefit, partially offset by merger-related expenses and deal costs (including integration costs), mark-to-market adjustment for derivatives, loss on extinguishment of debt and amortization of other intangibles. Normalized FFO for the year ended December 31, 2010 excluded the net expense (totaling $32.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share) from merger-related expenses and deal costs (including integration costs), loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of other intangibles and non-cash income tax expense.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $364.5 million, or $1.58 per diluted common share, including discontinued operations of $1.7 million, compared with net income attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $246.2 million, or $1.56 per diluted common share, including discontinued operations of $30.8 million. This increase in net income attributable to common stockholders is primarily the result of the NHP acquisition, a full year benefit of the Company’s 2010 acquisitions, including its Lillibridge MOBs, and a net benefit of $47.9 million comprised principally of net litigation proceeds and income tax benefit, partially offset by merger-related expenses and deal costs (including integration costs), mark-to-market adjustment for derivatives, loss on extinguishment of debt and amortization of other intangibles.

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased 95.7 percent to $824.9 million, from $421.5 million in the comparable 2010 period. NAREIT FFO per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased 33.7 percent to $3.57, from $2.67 in 2010. This increase is primarily due to the factors described above for net income.

FOURTH QUARTER 2011

Fourth quarter 2011 normalized FFO increased 114 percent to $259.3 million, from $121.4 million for the comparable 2010 period. Normalized FFO per diluted common share was $0.89 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 15.6 percent from $0.77 for the comparable 2010 period. Fourth quarter 2011 normalized FFO per diluted common share versus the comparable period in 2010 benefited from the Company’s acquisitions of NHP and the Atria-managed communities and rental increases from the Company’s triple-net lease portfolio, partially offset by increases in general and administrative expenses (including stock-based compensation), higher interest expense and a greater number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding, which rose by 83.7 percent to 290.6 million, compared to 158.2 million in 2010.

Normalized FFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 excludes the net benefit (totaling $99.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted share) from net litigation proceeds and income tax benefit, partially offset by merger-related expenses and deal costs (including integration costs), loss on extinguishment of debt, mark-to-market adjustment for derivatives and amortization of other intangibles.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was $192.9 million, or $0.66 per diluted common share, compared with net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 of $77.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share. This increase in net income attributable to common stockholders is primarily the result of the NHP acquisition and a net benefit of $99.7 million from net litigation proceeds and income tax benefit, partially offset by merger-related expenses and deal costs (including integration costs), loss on extinguishment of debt, mark-to-market adjustment for derivatives and amortization of other intangibles.

NAREIT FFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 increased 232 percent to $359.1 million, from $108.3 million in the comparable 2010 period. Fourth quarter 2011 NAREIT FFO per diluted common share increased 82.4 percent to $1.24, from $0.68 in the fourth quarter of 2010. This increase is primarily due to the factors described above for net income.

FIRST QUARTER DIVIDEND INCREASES 8 PERCENT TO $0.62 PER COMMON SHARE

Ventas also said today that its Board of Directors increased the Company’s first quarter 2012 dividend by eight percent to $0.62 per share. The dividend is payable in cash on March 29, 2012 to stockholders of record on March 9, 2012.

“Dividends and dividend growth are important components of the total return proposition we offer to our shareholders. Because of our significant growth and reliable cash flows, we are pleased to increase our dividend by eight percent, which enables us to share our success with shareholders and still maintain an attractive, strong payout ratio,” Cafaro said.

PRIVATE PAY SENIORS HOUSING OPERATING PORTFOLIO

Fourth Quarter 2011 Total Portfolio NOI Grows 2.4 Percent Versus Third Quarter to $89.5 Million and Fourth Quarter Average Occupancy Trending Positively

At December 31, 2011, the Company’s seniors housing operating portfolio included 79 private pay seniors housing communities managed by Sunrise and 118 private pay seniors housing communities managed by Atria.

Net Operating Income after management fees (“NOI”) for all communities increased 2.4 percent to $89.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2011, the Company’s first full quarter of ownership of the Atria-managed portfolio. Stabilized unit occupancy for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 100 basis points.

NOI for the Sunrise-managed communities increased to $156.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $154.3 million for the comparable 2010 period. The comparable 2010 period included the benefit to NOI of a $5 million cash payment from Sunrise for expense overages. Excluding this 2010 payment, 2011 NOI for the Sunrise-managed communities increased 5.0 percent compared to 2010. Average daily resident occupancy for the year increased 120 basis points to 90.3 percent versus 2010, and the average daily rate increased year over year by 3.6 percent to $183.

VENTAS ISSUES 2012 NORMALIZED FFO PER DILUTED SHARE GUIDANCE OF $3.63 TO $3.69

Ventas currently expects its 2012 normalized FFO per diluted share, excluding the impact of unannounced acquisitions, divestitures and capital transactions, but including completion of its pending acquisition of Cogdell in the second quarter of 2012 on its contractual terms, to range between $3.63 and $3.69.

The Company’s normalized FFO guidance (and related GAAP earnings projections) for all periods assumes that all of the Company’s tenants and borrowers continue to meet all of their obligations to the Company. In addition, the Company’s normalized FFO guidance excludes (a) gains and losses on the sales of real property assets, (b) merger-related costs and expenses, including amortization of intangibles and transition and integration expenses, and deal costs and expenses, (c) the impact of any expenses related to asset impairment and valuation allowances, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, or additional costs, expenses, discounts, make-whole payments, penalties or premiums incurred as a result of early retirement or payment of the Company’s debt, (d) the non-cash effect of income tax benefits or expenses and derivative transactions that have non-cash mark-to-market impacts on the Company’s income statement, (e) the impact of future unannounced acquisitions or divestitures (including pursuant to tenant options to purchase) and capital transactions, and (f) the reversal or incurrence of contingent consideration and liabilities.

The Company’s guidance is based on a number of other assumptions, which are subject to change and many of which are outside the control of the Company. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company’s expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results.

A reconciliation of the Company’s guidance to the Company’s projected GAAP earnings is attached to this press release. The Company may from time to time update its publicly announced guidance, but it is not obligated to do so.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. To overcome this problem, the Company considers FFO and normalized FFO appropriate measures of operating performance of an equity REIT. Moreover, the Company believes that normalized FFO provides useful information because it allows investors, analysts and Company management to compare the Company’s operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated items. The Company uses the NAREIT definition of FFO. NAREIT defines FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate property and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company defines normalized FFO as FFO excluding the following income and expense items (which may be recurring in nature): (a) gains and losses on the sales of real property assets, (b) merger-related costs and expenses, including amortization of intangibles and transition and integration expenses, and deal costs and expenses, including expenses and recoveries relating to the Company’s lawsuit against HCP, (c) the impact of any expenses related to asset impairment and valuation allowances, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, or additional costs, expenses, discounts, make-whole payments, penalties or premiums incurred as a result of early retirement or payment of the Company’s debt, (d) the non-cash effect of income tax benefits or expenses, (e) the impact of future unannounced acquisitions or divestitures (including pursuant to tenant options to purchase) and capital transactions, (f) the reversal or incurrence of contingent consideration and liabilities, (g) charitable donations made to the Ventas Charitable Foundation, and (h) changes in the fair value of financial instruments.

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

The Company believes that NOI, same-store cash rental income and same-store NOI provide useful information because those disclosures allow investors, analysts and Company management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare the Company’s operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis. Those terms are commonly used in evaluating results of real estate companies. The Company defines NOI as total revenues, excluding interest and other income, less property-level operating expenses and medical office building services costs (including amounts in discontinued operations).
