Ventas, Inc. (NYSE:VTR) ("Ventas" or the "Company") today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

CEO Remarks

"Ventas delivered strong financial performance and growth in the third quarter as we continued to execute on our 1-2-3 strategy. Results in the quarter were powered by our senior housing operating portfolio (SHOP), which experienced broad-based demand and grew organically year-over-year by double digits," said Debra A. Cafaro, Ventas Chairman and CEO.

"We have also completed $2.2 billion in senior housing acquisitions in attractive markets year to date. These investments are expected to enhance our earnings and future growth rate. As we grow, our financial profile continues to strengthen.

"We are increasing our full year guidance on the strength of our SHOP performance and closed senior housing investments. Because of the combination of organic and external growth in SHOP, our SHOP portfolio now represents about half of our business.

"The Company intends to continue to capitalize on the multiyear growth opportunity in senior housing that is fueled by the secular megatrend of a large and growing aging population. We are excited about the opportunities ahead to create value for our stakeholders from increasing senior housing demand, record lows in supply, a high-quality senior housing portfolio with significant occupancy upside and the Company's competitive advantages," Cafaro concluded.

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders ("Attributable Net Income") per share of $0.14
Normalized Funds From Operations* ("Normalized FFO") per share of $0.88, an increase of 10% compared to the prior year

Year to date October 2025, the Company closed $2.2 billion of senior housing investments with attractive financial return expectations, consistent with its Right Market, Right Asset, Right Operator^TM strategy

Financial Strength and Flexibility

The Company's Net Debt-to-Further Adjusted EBITDA* strengthened to 5.3x as of the end of the third quarter driven by SHOP NOI growth and equity-funded senior housing investments, representing an improvement of 1.0x compared to the third quarter of 2024.

Increased Full Year 2025 Guidance

The Company is increasing its guidance for the full year. The Company's 2025 guidance contains forward-looking statements and is based on a number of assumptions, including those identified later in this press release; 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 7/30/25	As of 10/29/2025
Attributable Net Income Per Share Range	$0.47 - $0.52	$0.49 - $0.52
Attributable Net Income Per Share Midpoint	$0.50	$0.51
Nareit FFO Per Share Range*	$3.38 - $3.43	$3.43 - $3.46
Nareit FFO Per Share Midpoint*	$3.41	$3.45
Normalized FFO Per Share Range*	$3.41 - $3.46	$3.45 - $3.48
Normalized FFO Per Share Midpoint*	$3.44	$3.47

Full Year 2025 Guidance Commentary Update

The Company's full year guidance for 2025 Normalized FFO per share vs. 2024 results 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 2025, partially offset by (2) the impact of higher net interest expense and the dilutive impact of a higher share price. Certain additional assumptions are set forth in the appendix.

(j) our current and future amount of outstanding indebtedness, and our ability to access capital and to incur additional debt which is subject to our compliance with covenants in instruments governing our and our subsidiaries' existing indebtedness; (k) risks related to the recognition of reserves, allowances, credit losses or impairment charges which are inherently uncertain and may increase or decrease in the future and may not represent or reflect the ultimate value of, or loss that we ultimately realize with respect to, the relevant assets, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition;

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 across periods on a consistent basis. 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 companies, which may define similarly titled measures differently than the Company does. 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.

⁽¹⁾	Principally due to the net non-cash revenue impact of changed revenue recognition from cash to straight-line related to a Senior Housing Triple-Net tenant.

The Company believes that Further Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt 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, certain of our performance-based disclosures, including Same-Store NOI for SHOP and NNN, 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.
