Ventas, Inc. (NYSE:VTR) ("Ventas" or the "Company") today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

CEO Remarks

"Ventas delivered a strong first quarter of 2025, as we executed on our strategy to capitalize on the unprecedented multiyear growth opportunity in senior housing. We drove double-digit growth in our senior housing operating portfolio (SHOP), which powered our first quarter results," said Debra A. Cafaro, Ventas Chairman and CEO.

"Already this year, we have completed nearly all of our original billion-dollar investment guidance in attractive SHOP investments designed to increase our forward enterprise growth rate. Our investment pipeline continues to grow and we expect to close additional investments later this year.

"Benefitting from our attractive financial profile, secular demand and experienced team, we are excited about the opportunities ahead to deliver value for all of our stakeholders from the multiyear growth opportunity in senior housing and pleased to reaffirm our 2025 guidance," Cafaro concluded.

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders ("Attributable Net Income") per share of $0.10

Normalized Funds From Operations* ("Normalized FFO") per share of $0.84, an increase of approximately 8% compared to the prior year

Total Company Net Operating Income* ("NOI") year-over-year growth of approximately 13% and Total Company Same-Store Cash NOI* year-over-year growth of approximately 7%

On a Same-Store Cash NOI* basis, the senior housing operating portfolio ("SHOP") grew approximately 14% year-over-year, with NOI margin growth of 150 basis points

Year to date, the Company closed approximately $900 million of investments focused on senior housing with attractive financial return expectations, consistent with its stated financial criteria and Right Market, Right Asset, Right Operator^™ strategy

Year to date, the Company entered into equity forward sales agreements under its at-the-market equity offering program for gross proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion for 16.5 million shares of common stock and currently has approximately $0.4 billion of unsettled equity forward sales agreements outstanding

In April 2025, Ventas increased its liquidity by expanding its unsecured credit facility by $750 million to an aggregate $3.5 billion. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $2.9 billion in liquidity

First Quarter 2025 Company Results

For the First Quarter 2025, reported per share results were:

	2025	2024	$ Change	% Change
Attributable Net Income (Loss)	$0.10	($0.04)	$0.14	n/m

SHOP Growth

In the first quarter, SHOP Same-Store Cash NOI increased 13.6% year-over-year, driven by revenue growth of 7.4%. SHOP same-store average occupancy grew 290 basis points year-over-year and was led by U.S. average occupancy growth of 330 basis points. Successful SHOP operator collaboration and implementation of Ventas OI^™data science and asset management initiatives contributed to RevPOR growth that exceeded expectations at +3.8% year-over-year, or +5.0% when adjusting for the leap year impact in the prior year period.

External Growth Focused on Senior Housing

Ventas has closed approximately $900 million of investments focused on senior housing year-to-date. These senior housing investments are expected to increase the Company's growth rate on a multiyear basis, generate attractive NOI yields, are priced below replacement cost and offer significant multiyear NOI growth potential, consistent with the Company's stated investment criteria.

Financial Strength and Flexibility

Ventas's Net Debt-to-Further Adjusted EBITDA* improved to 5.7x as of the end of the first quarter driven by SHOP segment growth and equity-funded senior housing investments, representing an improvement of 0.3x from year-end 2024 and 1.0x compared to the first quarter of 2024.

In April 2025, Ventas increased the capacity of its unsecured credit facility by $750 million to an aggregate $3.5 billion.

Reaffirming Full Year 2025 Guidance

The Company is reaffirming its guidance for the full year. The Company's 2025 guidance contains forward-looking statements and is based on a number of assumptions, including the select assumptions identified later in this press release in the appendix; actual results may differ materially. Ventas expects to report 2025 per share Attributable Net Income to common stockholders, Nareit FFO and Normalized FFO within the following ranges:

	As of 2/12/25	As of 4/30/2025
Attributable Net Income Per Share Range	$0.42 - $0.53	$0.42 - $0.53
Attributable Net Income Per Share Midpoint	$0.48	$0.48
Nareit FFO Per Share Range*	$3.27 - $3.38	$3.27 - $3.38
Nareit FFO Per Share Midpoint*	$3.33	$3.33
Normalized FFO Per Share Range*	$3.35 - $3.46	$3.35 - $3.46
Normalized FFO Per Share Midpoint*	$3.41	$3.41

Full Year 2025 Guidance Commentary Update

The Company's full year guidance for 2025 Normalized FFO per share is composed primarily of: (1) the benefit of (a) NOI growth in the Company's SHOP segment and (b) accretive senior housing investment activity in 2024 and expected in 2025, partially offset by (2) the impact of higher net interest expense, foreign exchange and the dilutive impact of a higher share price. The Company has increased its 2025 guidance for senior housing investment volume to $1.5 billion, from $1 billion, with the incremental investments expected to be second half weighted and funded primarily with its existing unsettled forward equity commitments and disposition proceeds.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors deem presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For that reason, the Company considers Funds From Operations attributable to common stockholders ("FFO") and Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders ("Normalized FFO") to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance of an equity REIT. The Company believes that the presentation of FFO, combined with the presentation of required GAAP financial measures, has improved the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and has helped make comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management generally considers FFO to be a useful measure for understanding and comparing our operating results because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment losses on depreciable real estate and real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can differ across owners of similar assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO can help investors compare the operating performance of a company's real estate across reporting periods and to the operating performance of other companies. The Company believes that Normalized FFO is useful because it allows investors, analysts and Company management to compare the Company's operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies across periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by non-recurring items and other non-operational events such as transactions and litigation. In some cases, the Company provides information about identified non-cash components of FFO and Normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of those items on our financial results.

Nareit Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders ("Nareit FFO")

The Company uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") definition of FFO. Nareit defines FFO as net income attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate property, including gain (or loss) on re-measurement of equity method investments and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

Normalized FFO Attributable to Common Stockholders ("Normalized FFO")

The Company defines Normalized FFO as Nareit FFO excluding the following income and expense items, without duplication: (a) gains and losses on derivatives, net and changes in the fair value of financial instruments; (b) the non-cash impact of income tax benefits or expenses; (c) gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, net including 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 our debt; (d) transaction, transition and restructuring costs; (e) amortization of other intangibles; (f) the non-cash impact of changes to our executive equity compensation plan; (g) net expenses or recoveries related to significant disruptive events; (h) the impact of expenses related to asset impairment and valuation allowances; (i) the financial impact of contingent consideration; (j) gains and losses on non-real estate dispositions and other normalizing items related to noncontrolling interests and unconsolidated entities; and (k) other items set forth in the Normalized FFO reconciliation included herein.

Nareit FFO and Normalized FFO presented herein may not be comparable to those presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. Nareit FFO and Normalized FFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to common stockholders (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 they 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, Nareit FFO and Normalized FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to common stockholders as presented elsewhere herein.

The Company believes that Net debt and Further Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors, analysts and Company management because they allow the comparison of the Company's credit strength between periods and to other real estate companies without the effect of items that by their nature are not comparable from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash stock-based compensation expense, asset impairment and valuation allowances), excluding (a) gains or losses on extinguishment of debt; (b) transaction, transition and restructuring costs; (c) noncontrolling interests' share of adjusted EBITDA; (d) net gains or losses on real estate activity; (e) gains or losses on re-measurement of equity interest upon acquisition; (f) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses; (g) gains or losses on derivatives, net and changes in the fair value of financial instruments; (h) net expenses or recoveries related to significant disruptive events; and including (x) Ventas' share of adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated entities and (y) the impact of other items set forth in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation included herein.

Further Adjusted EBITDA

Further Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted for transactions and events that were completed during the period, as if the transaction or event had been consummated at the beginning of the relevant period and considers any other incremental items set forth in the Further Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation included herein.

The Company considers NOI and Cash NOI as important supplemental measures because they allow investors, analysts and the Company's management to assess its unlevered property-level operating results and to compare its operating results with those of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis.

NOI

The Company defines NOI as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and third-party capital management expenses.

Cash NOI

The Company defines Cash NOI as NOI for its reportable business segments (i.e., SHOP, OM&R and NNN), determined on a Constant Currency basis, excluding the impact of, without duplication (i) non-cash items such as straight-line rent and the amortization of lease intangibles, (ii) sold assets, assets held for sale, development properties not yet operational and land parcels and (iii) other items set forth in the Cash NOI reconciliation included herein. In certain cases, results may be adjusted to reflect the receipt of cash payments, fees, and other consideration that is not fully recognized as NOI in the period.

Same-Store

The Company defines same-store as properties owned, consolidated and operational for the full period in both comparison periods and that are not otherwise excluded; provided, however, that the Company may include selected properties that otherwise meet the same-store criteria if they are included in substantially all of, but not a full, period for one or both of the comparison periods, and in the Company's judgment such inclusion provides a more meaningful presentation of its segment performance.

Newly acquired development properties and recently developed or redeveloped properties in the Company's SHOP reportable business segment will be included in same-store once they are stabilized for the full period in both periods presented. These properties are considered stabilized upon the earlier of (a) the achievement of 80% sustained occupancy or (b) 24 months from the date of acquisition or substantial completion of work. Recently developed or redeveloped properties in the Company's OM&R and NNN reportable business segments will be included in same-store once substantial completion of work has occurred for the full period in both periods presented. Our SHOP and NNN that have undergone operator or business model transitions will be included in same-store once operating under consistent operating structures for the full period in both periods presented.

Properties are excluded from same-store if they are: (i) sold, classified as held for sale or properties whose operations were classified as discontinued operations in accordance with GAAP; (ii) impacted by significant disruptive events such as flood or fire; (iii) for SHOP, those properties that are currently undergoing a significant disruptive redevelopment; (iv) for OM&R and NNN reportable business segments, those properties for which management has an intention to institute, or has instituted, a redevelopment plan because the properties may require major property-level expenditures to maximize value, increase NOI, or maintain a market-competitive position and/or achieve property stabilization, most commonly as the result of an expected or actual material change in occupancy or NOI; or (v) for SHOP and NNN reportable business segments, those properties that are scheduled to undergo operator or business model transitions, or have transitioned operators or business models after the start of the prior comparison period.

Constant Currency

To eliminate the impact of exchange rate movements, all portfolio performance-based disclosures assume constant exchange rates across comparable periods, using the following methodology: the current period's results are shown in actual reported USD, while prior comparison period's results are adjusted and converted to USD based on the average monthly exchange rate for the current period.
