"2024 was a strong year for LTC. We set ambitious goals, and we delivered, often ahead of schedule," said Pam Kessler, LTC's Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-President. "We are making substantial progress on our RIDEA strategy, with initial transactions expected during the second quarter. Adding RIDEA to our robust suite of offerings for growth-minded operating partners unlocks a strong catalyst for future growth for LTC. Additionally, we would like to recognize the recent promotions of Gibson Satterwhite to Executive Vice President, Asset Management and Michael Bowden to Senior Vice President, Investments. They have been an integral part of the LTC team for nearly ten years, and their expertise will be invaluable as we continue to unlock LTC's long-term growth potential."

"Our entrance into RIDEA has created significant interest from current and potential operating partners," said Clint Malin, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Co-President and Chief Investment Officer. "As a result, we are expanding our pipeline with interesting opportunities from both inbound inquiries and proactive outreach. We believe RIDEA will become a critical part of LTC's strategy, offering operators a structure that aligns their successes with ours."

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results:

• Total revenues increased due to a one-time additional straight-line rental income related to restoring accrual basis accounting for two master leases, rent increases from fair-market rent resets, previously transitioned portfolios and escalations and higher income from a construction loan funding in 2024. These were partially offset by lower revenue from sold properties and mortgage loan payoffs.
• Expenses decreased primarily due to lower interest expense related to paying down the Company's unsecured revolving line of credit and scheduled principal paydowns on its senior unsecured notes and a decrease in provision for credit losses. These were partially offset by an increase in impairment loss and general and administrative expense.
• Income from unconsolidated joint ventures increased as a result of a 2024 mortgage loan origination accounted for as an unconsolidated joint venture in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
• Income allocated to non-controlling interests increased due to consolidated joint ventures formed during 2024.

2024 Fourth Quarter Portfolio Update:

Mortgage Loan Payoff and Asset Sale (as previously announced)

• Received the payoff of a $51.1 million mortgage loan secured by a 203-unit assisted living community in Georgia; and
• Sold a closed property in Colorado for $5.3 million and recorded a gain on sale of $1.1 million.

Debt and Equity

• Entered into a new equity distribution agreement to sell, from time to time, up to $400.0 million in aggregate offering price of shares of the Company's common stock and terminated its existing $200.0 million equity distribution agreement;
• Repaid $95.8 million under the Company's revolving line of credit;
• Repaid $5.0 million in scheduled principal paydowns on senior unsecured notes; and
• Sold an aggregate of 476,370 shares of common stock for $17.5 million of net proceeds under equity distribution agreements.

Activities Subsequent to December 31, 2024:

• Sold a 29-unit assisted living community located in Oklahoma for $670,000;

Supplemental Reporting Measures

FFO and FAD are supplemental measures of a real estate investment trust's ("REIT") financial performance that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Investors, analysts and the Company use FFO and FAD as supplemental measures of operating performance. The Company believes FFO and FAD are helpful in evaluating the operating performance of a REIT. Real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, but cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. We believe that by excluding the effect of historical cost depreciation, which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO and FAD facilitate like comparisons of operating performance between periods. Occasionally, the Company may exclude non-recurring items from FFO and FAD in order to allow investors, analysts and management to compare the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated items.

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), means net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on the sale of real estate and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company's computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from that of the Company; therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing the Company's FFO to that of other REITs.

We define FAD as FFO excluding the effects of straight-line rent, amortization of lease inducement, effective interest income, deferred income from unconsolidated joint ventures, non-cash compensation charges, capitalized interest and non-cash interest charges. GAAP requires rental revenues related to non-contingent leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease to be recognized evenly over the life of the lease. This method results in rental income in the early years of a lease that is higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset included in the consolidated balance sheet. At some point during the lease, depending on its terms, cash rent payments exceed the straight-line rent which results in the straight-line rent receivable asset decreasing to zero over the remainder of the lease term. Effective interest method, as required by GAAP, is a technique for calculating the actual interest rate for the term of a mortgage loan based on the initial origination value. Similar to the accounting methodology of straight-line rent, the actual interest rate is higher than the stated interest rate in the early years of the mortgage loan thus creating an effective interest receivable asset included in the interest receivable line item in the consolidated balance sheet and reduces down to zero when, at some point during the mortgage loan, the stated interest rate is higher than the actual interest rate. FAD is useful in analyzing the portion of cash flow that is available for distribution to stockholders. Investors, analysts and the Company utilize FAD as an indicator of common dividend potential. The FAD payout ratio, which represents annual distributions to common shareholders expressed as a percentage of FAD, facilitates the comparison of dividend coverage between REITs.

While the Company uses FFO and FAD as supplemental performance measures of the cash flow generated by operations and cash available for distribution to stockholders, such measures are not representative of cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income available to common stockholders.
