CEO Remarks

"We are pleased that we grew first quarter year-over-year Normalized FFO and SHOP same-store cash NOI for the first time since the pandemic began (excluding the benefit of HHS Grants in both periods). These strong results underscore the positive momentum of our high-quality portfolio and the powerful senior housing recovery now underway. Our SHOP communities benefitted from strong demand and pricing power during the quarter, demonstrating the strength, resiliency and potential of the assets, and overcoming inflationary impacts and the effects of COVID-19," said Debra A. Cafaro, Ventas Chairman and CEO.

"As we look to the second quarter of 2022, we are again projecting that our earnings will benefit from continued attractive year-over-year organic growth in our SHOP segment and contribution from investments in senior housing, life science and medical office over the last twelve months. Based on favorable supply and demand fundamentals, we continue to expect sustained improvement in SHOP same-store cash NOI through 2022. We believe that our steadfast focus on execution and the decisive actions we continue to take position us to drive superior and sustainable value for our shareholders," Cafaro concluded.

*		This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation tables at the end of this press release for additional information and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
¹		SHOP same-store growth adjusted to exclude the benefit of HHS Grants received to partially offset direct COVID-19 costs incurred by the Company to date. The HHS Grants are recorded as a contra expense within SHOP operating expenses, net of any applicable fees to SHOP operators. The quarterly pools include a ~$21.1M net benefit attributable to HHS Grants received in 1Q22 and a ~$7.6M net benefit attributable to HHS Grants received in 1Q21.

SHOP Portfolio (37% of Total Portfolio)

Excluding HHS Grants, SHOP year-over-year same-store cash NOI growth of 14.2% in the first quarter of 2022 was driven by continued robust demand, increased occupancy and pricing power, which outpaced inflationary expense pressures and the continuing impacts of COVID-19 in the quarter.

Clinical: Consistent with broader US trends, COVID-19 resident and staff confirmed cases increased sharply in January and February in Ventas's SHOP communities but have since declined.
Leading Indicators: Robust demand resulted in leads and move-ins consistently trending at over 100% of pre-pandemic levels in the quarter, outperforming typical seasonal patterns.
Revenue: In the first quarter, same-store revenue increased by nearly 10% versus the prior year due to the positive trends in occupancy and RevPOR.
- Same-store average occupancy grew year-over-year by 420 basis points to 83.0% in the first quarter 2022, ahead of the guidance midpoint of 410 basis points.
- Same-store RevPOR increased by 4.2% versus the prior year. RevPOR benefited from strong in-place resident rate increases approximating 8% in the first quarter 2022 in the U.S., and improving re-leasing spreads. Pricing for new residents continued to trend positively despite industry occupancy well below stabilized levels.
Excluding HHS Grants, same-store operating expenses grew 8% year-over-year, driven by macro inflationary impacts throughout the quarter on labor, utilities and other operating expenses.

Triple-Net Portfolio (31% of Total Portfolio)

Triple-Net year-over-year same-store cash NOI increased by 0.6%, driven by contractual escalators, partially offset by reduced payments from select senior housing tenants due to the continued pandemic impact.

Office Portfolio (30% of Total Portfolio)

Office year-over-year same-store cash NOI increased by 4.6%, driven by contractual escalators, strong leasing, collection of holdover rent and continued recovery in parking revenue.

Select Investment Activity

Year-to-date in 2022, the Company continued to grow its superior, well positioned portfolio by closing on or committing to approximately $500 million in relationship-driven investments, consistent with its priorities of investing in senior housing and life science, research & innovation:

Mangrove Bay: In February 2022, the Company closed on the previously announced acquisition of Mangrove Bay, a Class A senior housing community in the highly sought-after Jupiter, Florida market for $107 million at an attractive in-place yield of nearly 6%.

Le Groupe Maurice: Continuing its successful track record of development with its partner Le Groupe Maurice, Ventas announced that it expects to break ground on a new $90 million, 362-unit senior housing development project in the attractive Montreal, Quebec market.

3440 Market: Ventas expanded its presence and offerings to its tenants in the exciting uCity, Philadelphia submarket with the value-add acquisition and intended redevelopment of 3440 Market for $73 million, inclusive of redevelopment costs. Located adjacent to existing Ventas life science buildings, the expected yield after redevelopment is 7%.

Medical Office: The Company completed the previously announced acquisition of 18 MOBs comprising 732,000 square feet 100% leased to Ardent Health Services for a twelve-year term. The price was $204 million, reflecting a ~6% GAAP yield. Ventas also completed the $40 million acquisition of Eating Recovery Center, a Class-A behavioral health facility located in Denver, CO at a 6.6% GAAP yield. The asset is 100% net leased with 12 years remaining in the lease term.

Second Quarter 2022 Guidance

The Company currently expects to report second quarter 2022 Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders, Nareit FFO and Normalized FFO per share and same-store cash NOI growth within the following ranges:

	2Q22 Guidance
	Per Share
	Low		High

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders	($0.03)	-	$0.01
Nareit FFO*	$0.66	-	$0.70
Normalized FFO*	$0.69	-	$0.73

	2Q22 Guidance: Same-Store Cash NOI Growth
	(vs. 2Q21, Quarterly Pools)
	Percentage Change
Business Segment	Low		High
SHOP¹	2.0%	-	10.0%
Triple-Net	(3.0%)	-	(1.5%)
Office	1.75%	-	2.25%
Total Company	0.0%	-	3.0%

*		This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation tables at the end of this press release for additional information and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
¹		Excluding the benefit of HHS Grants in all periods.

Key assumptions underlying the second quarter 2022 guidance include:

SHOP: We anticipate approximately 10% year-over-year revenue growth at the midpoint of the same-store cash NOI guidance range driven by the expected combination of approximately 400 basis points of occupancy growth and improved rates. Revenue growth is expected to be partially offset by continued inflationary expense pressure, with the SHOP same-store cash NOI guidance range principally a function of operating expense assumptions.

Office: Same-store cash NOI growth is expected to be driven by contractual escalators, leasing and parking. As previously communicated, Normalized FFO will be reduced by ($0.01) per share sequentially due to the proposed redevelopment into high demand lab space at two R&I properties, following the move-out of two tenants enabling the contemplated projects.

Triple-Net: As previously communicated, Normalized FFO will be impacted by ($0.01) per share sequentially due to lease resolutions with senior housing triple-net tenants who were materially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Ventas expects to receive the benefit of upward future performance in these assets through revenue or NOI-based payments.

General and Administrative Expenses: We anticipate the Normalized FFO impact of second quarter general and administrative expenses to be approximately $34 million to $36 million.

Transactions: The guidance does not assume any new or unannounced material acquisitions or capital markets activities.

Dispositions: We expect disposition proceeds of $200 million principally in the second half of 2022.

Please see below for further discussion and our definitions of non-GAAP measures along with reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We will provide additional detail regarding our second quarter outlook and assumptions on the first quarter 2022 conference call.
