COVID-19 Update


Beginning in late 2019, a novel strain of Coronavirus ("COVID-19") began to
spread throughout the world, including the United States, ultimately being
declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Global health concerns and
increased efforts to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic have prompted
federal, state, and local governments to restrict normal daily activities, and
have resulted in travel bans, quarantines, school closings, "shelter-in-place"
orders requiring individuals to remain in their homes other than to conduct
essential services or activities, as well as business limitations and shutdowns,
which resulted in closure of many businesses deemed to be non-essential.
Although some of these restrictions have since been lifted or scaled back,
certain restrictions remain in place and any future surges of COVID-19 may lead
to other restrictions being re-implemented in response to efforts to reduce the
spread. In addition, our tenants, operators and borrowers are facing significant
cost increases as a result of increased health and safety measures, including
increased staffing demands for patient care and sanitation, as well as increased
usage and inventory of critical medical supplies and personal protective
equipment. These health and safety measures, which may remain in place for a
significant amount of time or be re-imposed from time to time, continue to place
a substantial strain on the business operations of many of our tenants,
operators, and borrowers.
Senior Housing
Within our SHOP and CCRC properties, occupancy rates have declined since the
onset of the pandemic, a trend that may continue during the pandemic and for
some period thereafter as a result of a reduction in, or in some cases
prohibitions on, new tenant move-ins due to stricter move-in criteria, lower
inquiry volumes, and reduced in-person tours, as well as incidences of COVID-19
outbreaks at our facilities or the perception that outbreaks may occur.
Outbreaks, which directly affect our residents and the employees at our senior
housing facilities, have and could continue to materially and adversely disrupt
operations, as well as cause significant reputational harm to us, our operators,
and our tenants. As of February 8, 2021, we had current confirmed resident
COVID-19 cases at 85 of our 95 senior housing properties, since the beginning of
the pandemic. Our senior housing property operators are also experiencing
significant cost increases as a result of higher staffing hours and
compensation, the implementation of increased health and safety measures and
protocols, and increased usage and inventory of critical medical supplies and
personal protective equipment. At our SHOP and CCRC facilities, we bear these
significant cost increases.

We and/or our operators temporarily suspended redevelopment across our senior
housing portfolio due to "shelter-in-place" orders and local, state, and federal
directives, except for certain life safety and essential projects. Although some
of these projects have been allowed to restart with infection control protocols
in place, future local, state, or federal orders could cause us to re-suspend
the work. Other projects remain suspended and we do not know when we will be
able to restart construction. In locations where construction continues,
construction workers are following applicable guidelines, including appropriate
social distancing, limitations on large group gatherings in close proximity, and
increased sanitation efforts, which has slowed the pace of construction. These
protective actions do not, however, eliminate the risk that outbreaks caused or
spread by such activities may occur and impact our tenants, operators and
residents. In addition, our planned dispositions may not occur within the
expected time or at all because of buyer terminations or withdrawals related to
the pandemic, capital constraints, inability to tour properties, or other
factors relating to the pandemic.
The ultimate impact of the pandemic on senior housing generally and the public
perception of senior housing as a desirable residential setting depend on a
number of factors that are unknown at this time, including, but not limited to:
(i) the course and severity of the pandemic; (ii) responses of public and
private health authorities; and (iii) the timing, distribution, and health
effects of vaccines and other treatments.
Medical Office Portfolio
Within our medical office portfolio, many physician practices and affiliated
hospitals initially delayed or discontinued nonessential surgeries and
procedures due to "shelter-in-place" orders and other health and safety
measures, which negatively impacted their cash flows during part of 2020. These
restrictions have now been lifted in the majority of our markets and operations
are at or near pre-pandemic levels. However, we expect that planned move-outs
will be delayed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is expected to slightly
increase short-term retention in this portfolio.
We implemented a deferred rent program during the second and third quarters of
2020 that was limited to certain non-health system and non-hospital tenants in
good standing, which reduced our cash collections during those months, although
we required that the deferred rent be repaid ratably by the end of 2020. Under
this program, we agreed to defer approximately $6 million of rent through
December 31, 2020, substantially all of which had been collected as of
December 31, 2020. We may also implement a deferred rent program for future
periods.
Life Science Portfolio
Within our life science portfolio, we have numerous tenants that are working
tirelessly to address critical research and testing needs in the fight against
COVID-19. We are focused on providing our tenants with the necessary space to
complete their critical work and are in continuous contact with our tenants
regarding how we can help them meet their needs. Through December 31, 2020, we
had provided approximately $1 million of rent deferrals to our life science
tenants, all of which was required to be repaid by the end of 2020. As of
December 31, 2020, all of the deferred rent had been collected.
However, within our life science portfolio, we may experience a decline in
leasing activity at certain points during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of
governmental restrictions on business activities in the greater San Francisco
and Boston areas, we temporarily suspended development, redevelopment, and
tenant improvement projects at many of our life science properties, resulting in
delayed deliveries and project completions. Though we have been able to continue
or re-start these projects, we remain subject to future governmental
restrictions that may again suspend these projects. Even when these projects
continue, we have been experiencing losses in efficiency as a result of the
implementation of health and safety protocols related to social distancing and
proper hygiene and sanitization.
Liquidity
We believe that we are well positioned to manage the short-term and long-term
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to slow its spread while
working closely with our tenants, operators, and borrowers as they navigate the
pandemic. We had approximately $2.51 billion of liquidity available, including
$2.26 billion borrowing capacity under our bank line of credit facility and $259
million of cash and cash equivalents, as of February 8, 2021. While a future
downgrade in our credit ratings would adversely impact our cost of borrowing, we
believe we continue to have access to the unsecured debt markets. We could also
seek to enter into one or more secured debt financings, issue additional
securities, including under our 2020 ATM Program (as defined below), or dispose
of certain additional assets to fund future operating costs, capital
expenditures, or acquisitions, although no assurances can be made in this
regard.

Future Rent Collections
The impact of COVID-19 on the ability of our tenants to pay rent in the future
is currently unknown. We have, and will continue to monitor the credit quality
of each of our tenants and write-off straight-line rent and accounts receivable,
as necessary. In the event we conclude that substantially all of a tenant's
straight-line rent or accounts receivable is not probable of collection in the
future, such amounts will be written off, which could have a material impact on
our future results of operations.
Employee Update
We have taken, and will continue to take, proactive measures to provide for the
well-being of our workforce. We have maximized our systems infrastructure as
well as virtual and remote working technologies for our employees, including our
executive team, to ensure productivity and connectivity internally, as well as
with key third-party relationships.
The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial
results will depend on future developments, including the duration, severity,
and spread of COVID-19, health and safety actions taken to contain its spread,
any new surges of COVID-19, the severity of outbreak of new strains of COVID-19,
the timing and distribution of vaccines and other treatments, and how quickly
and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume within
the markets in which we operate, each of which are highly uncertain at this time
and outside of our control.
2020 Transaction Overview
South San Francisco Land Site Acquisition
In October 2020, we executed a definitive agreement to acquire approximately 12

Master Transaction and Cooperation Agreement with Brookdale
In January 2020, Healthpeak and Brookdale Senior Living Inc. ("Brookdale")
completed certain of the transactions governed by the previously announced
Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement (the "2019 MTCA"), which includes
a series of transactions related to the previously jointly owned 15-campus CCRC
portfolio (the "CCRC JV") and the portfolio of senior housing properties that
were triple-net leased to Brookdale. Specifically, the following transactions
were completed on January 31, 2020:
•We acquired Brookdale's 51% interest in 13 of the 15 communities in the CCRC JV
based on a valuation of $1.06 billion (the "CCRC Acquisition") and transitioned
management (under new management agreements) of those 13 communities to Life
Care Services LLC ("LCS");
•We paid Brookdale $100 million to terminate the previous management agreements
related to those 13 communities;
•Brookdale acquired 18 of the triple-net lease properties (the "Brookdale
Acquisition Assets") from us for cash proceeds of $385 million;
•The remaining 24 triple-net lease properties, which were subsequently sold in
January 2021 (see Senior Housing Portfolio Sales below), were restructured into
a single master lease with 2.4% annual rent escalators and a maturity date of
December 31, 2027 (the "2019 Amended Master Lease");
•A portion of annual rent (amount in excess of 6.5% of sales proceeds) related
to 14 of the 18 Brookdale Acquisition Assets was reallocated to the remaining
properties under the 2019 Amended Master Lease; and
                                       44

$0.30 per common share. The dividend will be paid on March 5, 2021 to
stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 22, 2021.
Results of Operations
We evaluate our business and allocate resources among our reportable business
segments: (i) life science, (ii) medical office, and (iii) CCRC. Under the life
science and medical office segments, we invest through the acquisition and
development of life science facilities, MOBs, and hospitals, which generally
require a greater level of property management. Our CCRCs are operated through
RIDEA structures. We have other non-reportable segments that are comprised
primarily of interests in an unconsolidated senior housing joint venture and
debt investments. We evaluate performance based upon property adjusted net
operating income ("Adjusted NOI" or "Cash NOI") in each segment. The accounting
policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements).
In conjunction with classifying our senior housing triple-net and SHOP
portfolios as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2020, the results of
operations related to those portfolios are no longer presented in reportable
business segments. Accordingly, results of operations of those portfolios are
not included in the reportable business segment analysis below. Refer to Note 5
to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding
discontinued operations.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Net Operating Income
NOI and Adjusted NOI are non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") supplemental financial measures used to evaluate the operating
performance of real estate. NOI is defined as real estate revenues (inclusive of
rental and related revenues, resident fees and services, income from direct
financing leases, and government grant income and exclusive of interest income),
less property level operating expenses (which exclude transition costs); NOI
excludes all other financial statement amounts included in net income (loss) as
presented in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Adjusted NOI is
calculated as NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-line rents, DFL
non-cash interest, amortization of market lease intangibles, termination fees,
actuarial reserves for insurance claims that have been incurred but not
reported, and the impact of deferred community fee income and expense. NOI and
Adjusted NOI include our share of income (loss) generated by unconsolidated
joint ventures and exclude noncontrolling interests' share of income (loss)
generated by consolidated joint ventures. Adjusted NOI is oftentimes referred to
as "Cash NOI." Management believes NOI and Adjusted NOI are important
supplemental measures because they provide relevant and useful information by
reflecting only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the
property level and present them on an unlevered basis. We use NOI and Adjusted
NOI to make decisions about resource allocations, to assess and compare property
level performance, and to evaluate our Same-Store ("SS") performance, as
described below. We believe that net income (loss) is the most directly
comparable GAAP measure to NOI and Adjusted NOI. NOI and Adjusted NOI should not
be viewed as alternative measures of operating performance to net income (loss)
as defined by GAAP since they do not reflect various excluded items. Further,
our definitions of NOI and Adjusted NOI may not be comparable to the definitions
used by other REITs or real estate companies, as they may use different
methodologies for calculating NOI and Adjusted NOI. For a reconciliation of NOI
and Adjusted NOI to net income (loss) by segment, refer to Note 16 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Operating expenses generally relate to leased medical office and life science
properties, as well as SHOP and CCRC facilities. We generally recover all or a
portion of our leased medical office and life science property expenses through
tenant recoveries. We present expenses as operating or general and
administrative based on the underlying nature of the expense.
                                       46
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
Same-Store
Same-Store NOI and Adjusted (Cash) NOI information allows us to evaluate the
performance of our property portfolio under a consistent population by
eliminating changes in the composition of our consolidated portfolio of
properties. Same-Store Adjusted NOI excludes amortization of deferred revenue
from tenant-funded improvements and certain non-property specific operating
expenses that are allocated to each operating segment on a consolidated basis.
Properties are included in Same-Store once they are stabilized for the full
period in both comparison periods. Newly acquired operating assets are generally
considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up (typically when the tenant(s)
control(s) the physical use of at least 80% of the space) or 12 months from the
acquisition date. Newly completed developments and redevelopments are considered
stabilized at the earlier of lease-up or 24 months from the date the property is
placed in service. Properties that experience a change in reporting structure,
such as a conversion from a triple-net lease to a RIDEA reporting structure, are
considered stabilized after 12 months in operations under a consistent reporting
structure. A property is removed from Same-Store when it is classified as held
for sale, sold, placed into redevelopment, experiences a casualty event that
significantly impacts operations, a change in reporting structure or operator
transition has been agreed to, or a significant tenant relocates from a
Same-Store property to a non Same-Store property and that change results in a
corresponding increase in revenue. We do not report Same-Store metrics for our
other non-reportable segments.
For a reconciliation of Same-Store to total portfolio Adjusted NOI and other
relevant disclosures by segment, refer to our Segment Analysis below.
Funds From Operations ("FFO")
FFO encompasses NAREIT FFO and FFO as Adjusted, each of which is described in
detail below. We believe FFO applicable to common shares, diluted FFO applicable
to common shares, and diluted FFO per common share are important supplemental
non-GAAP measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical
cost accounting convention used for real estate assets utilizes straight-line
depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the
value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate
values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions,
presentations of operating results for a REIT that use historical cost
accounting for depreciation could be less informative. The term FFO was designed
by the REIT industry to address this issue.
NAREIT FFO. FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), is net income (loss) applicable to common shares
(computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of
depreciable property, including any current and deferred taxes directly
associated with sales of depreciable property, impairments of, or related to,
depreciable real estate, plus real estate and other real estate-related
depreciation and amortization, and adjustments to compute our share of NAREIT
FFO and FFO as Adjusted (see below) from joint ventures. Adjustments for joint
ventures are calculated to reflect our pro-rata share of both our consolidated
and unconsolidated joint ventures. We reflect our share of NAREIT FFO for
unconsolidated joint ventures by applying our actual ownership percentage for
the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. For
consolidated joint ventures in which we do not own 100%, we reflect our share of
the equity by adjusting our NAREIT FFO to remove the third party ownership share
of the applicable reconciling items based on actual ownership percentage for the
applicable periods. Our pro-rata share information is prepared on a basis
consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts, is intended to reflect our
proportionate economic interest in the operating results of properties in our
portfolio and is calculated by applying our actual ownership percentage for the
period. We do not control the unconsolidated joint ventures, and the pro-rata
presentations of reconciling items included in NAREIT FFO do not represent our
legal claim to such items. The joint venture members or partners are entitled to
profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the
joint venture agreements, which provide for such allocations generally according
to their invested capital.
The presentation of pro-rata information has limitations, which include, but are
not limited to, the following: (i) the amounts shown on the individual line
items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest
percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting and do not
necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the
revenues and expenses and (ii) other companies in our industry may calculate
their pro-rata interest differently, limiting the usefulness as a comparative
measure. Because of these limitations, the pro-rata financial information should
not be considered independently or as a substitute for our financial statements
as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily
on our GAAP financial statements, using the pro-rata financial information as a
supplement.
NAREIT FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in
accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund
cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss). We
compute NAREIT FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition; however,
other REITs may report NAREIT FFO differently or have a different interpretation
of the current NAREIT definition from ours.
                                       47
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
FFO as Adjusted. In addition, we present NAREIT FFO on an adjusted basis before
the impact of non-comparable items including, but not limited to,
transaction-related items, impairments (recoveries) of non-depreciable assets,
losses (gains) from the sale of non-depreciable assets, restructuring and
severance related charges, prepayment costs (benefits) associated with early
retirement or payment of debt, litigation costs (recoveries), casualty-related
charges (recoveries), foreign currency remeasurement losses (gains), deferred
tax asset valuation allowances, and changes in tax legislation ("FFO as
Adjusted"). Transaction-related items include transaction expenses and
gains/charges incurred as a result of mergers and acquisitions and lease
amendment or termination activities. Prepayment costs (benefits) associated with
early retirement of debt include 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 debt.
Management believes that FFO as Adjusted provides a meaningful supplemental
measurement of our FFO run-rate and is frequently used by analysts, investors,
and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. At
the same time that NAREIT created and defined its FFO measure for the REIT
industry, it also recognized that "management of each of its member companies
has the responsibility and authority to publish financial information that it
regards as useful to the financial community." We believe stockholders,
potential investors, and financial analysts who review our operating performance
are best served by an FFO run-rate earnings measure that includes certain other
adjustments to net income (loss), in addition to adjustments made to arrive at
the NAREIT defined measure of FFO. FFO as Adjusted is used by management in
analyzing our business and the performance of our properties and we believe it
is important that stockholders, potential investors, and financial analysts
understand this measure used by management. We use FFO as Adjusted to: (i)
evaluate our performance in comparison with expected results and results of
previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions, (ii) evaluate the
performance of our management, (iii) budget and forecast future results to
assist in the allocation of resources, (iv) assess our performance as compared
with similar real estate companies and the industry in general, and (v) evaluate
how a specific potential investment will impact our future results. Other REITs
or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating an
adjusted FFO measure, and accordingly, our FFO as Adjusted may not be comparable
to those reported by other REITs. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to
NAREIT FFO and FFO as Adjusted and other relevant disclosure, refer to "Non-GAAP
Financial Measures Reconciliations" below.
Adjusted FFO ("AFFO")
AFFO is defined as FFO as Adjusted after excluding the impact of the following:
(i) amortization of deferred compensation expense, (ii) amortization of deferred
financing costs, net, (iii) straight-line rents, (iv) deferred income taxes, (v)
amortization of acquired market lease intangibles, net, (vi) non-cash interest
related to DFLs and lease incentive amortization (reduction of straight-line
rents), (vii) actuarial reserves for insurance claims that have been incurred
but not reported, and (viii) deferred revenues, excluding amounts amortized into
rental income that are associated with tenant funded improvements
owned/recognized by us and up-front cash payments made by tenants to reduce
their contractual rents. Also, AFFO: (i) is computed after deducting recurring
capital expenditures, including second generation leasing costs and second
generation tenant and capital improvements and (ii) includes lease restructure
payments and adjustments to compute our share of AFFO from our unconsolidated
joint ventures. Certain prior period amounts in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Reconciliation" below for AFFO have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation. More specifically, recurring capital expenditures,
including second generation leasing costs and second generation tenant and
capital improvements ("AFFO capital expenditures") excludes our share from
unconsolidated joint ventures (reported in "other AFFO adjustments").
Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro-rata share of
both our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We reflect our share of
AFFO for unconsolidated joint ventures by applying our actual ownership
percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by
entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated joint ventures in which we
do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our AFFO to remove the third party
ownership share of the applicable reconciling items based on actual ownership
percentage for the applicable periods (reported in "other AFFO adjustments").
See FFO for further disclosure regarding our use of pro-rata share information
and its limitations. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different
methodologies for calculating AFFO, and accordingly, our AFFO may not be
comparable to those reported by other REITs. Although our AFFO computation may
not be comparable to that of other REITs, management believes AFFO provides a
meaningful supplemental measure of our performance and is frequently used by
analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our
performance as a REIT. We believe AFFO is an alternative run-rate earnings
measure that improves the understanding of our operating results among investors
and makes comparisons with: (i) expected results, (ii) results of previous
periods, and (iii) results among REITs more meaningful. AFFO does not represent
cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and
is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as it
excludes the following items which generally flow through our cash flows from
operating activities: (i) adjustments for changes in working capital or the
actual timing of the payment of income or expense items that are accrued in the
period, (ii) transaction-related costs, (iii) litigation settlement expenses,
(iv) severance-related expenses, and (v) actual cash receipts from interest
income recognized on loans receivable (in contrast to our AFFO adjustment to
exclude non-cash interest and depreciation related to our investments in direct
financing leases). Furthermore, AFFO is adjusted for recurring capital
expenditures, which are generally not considered when determining cash flows
from operations or liquidity. AFFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure

(1)For the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures, see "Non-GAAP
Financial Measure Reconciliations" below.
Net income (loss) applicable to common shares ("net income (loss)") increased
primarily as a result of the following:
•an increase in other income, net as a result of: (i) a gain upon change of
control related to the acquisition of the outstanding equity interests in 13
CCRCs from Brookdale during the first quarter of 2020, (ii) a gain on sale
related to the sale of a hospital underlying a DFL during the first quarter of
2020, and (iii) government grant income received under the Coronavirus Aid,
Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") during 2020;
•an increase in net gain on sales of real estate during 2020;
•an increase in interest income, primarily as a result of new loans and
additional funding of existing loans;
•a decrease in loss on debt extinguishments;
•an increase in income tax benefit as a result of (i) the above-mentioned
acquisition of Brookdale's interest in 13 CCRCs and related management
termination fee expense paid to Brookdale in connection with transitioning
management to LCS during the first quarter of 2020 and (ii) the extension of the
net operating loss carryback provided by the CARES Act, partially offset by
additional income tax expense due to a deferred tax asset valuation allowance;
and
•NOI generated from: (i) 2019 and 2020 acquisitions of real estate, (ii)
development and redevelopment projects placed in service during 2019 and 2020,
and (iii) new leasing activity in 2019 and 2020 (including the impact to
straight-line rents).
The increase in net income (loss) was partially offset by:
•a reduction in income related to assets sold during 2019 and 2020;
•additional expense due to the management termination fee paid to Brookdale in
connection with transitioning management of 13 CCRCs to LCS during the first
quarter of 2020;
•additional expenses and decreased occupancy in our SHOP and CCRC assets related
to COVID-19;
•a reduction in equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures during
2020 primarily due to our share of net losses from an unconsolidated joint
venture owning 19 senior housing assets that was formed in December 2019;
•increased depreciation and amortization expense as a result of: (i) assets
acquired during 2019 and 2020, (ii) the acquisition of Brookdale's interest in
and consolidation of 13 CCRCs during the first quarter of 2020, and (iii)
development and redevelopment projects placed into service during 2019 and 2020,
partially offset by dispositions of real estate throughout 2019 and 2020; and
•increased credit losses related to loans receivable as a result of: (i)
adopting the current expected credit losses model required under Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), (ii) new loans funded during 2020, and (iii) the
impact of COVID-19 on expected credit losses.

Net income (loss) applicable to common shares ("net income (loss)") decreased
primarily as a result of the following:
•a reduction in NOI as a result of asset sales during 2018 and 2019;
•a larger net gain on sales of real estate during 2018 compared to 2019,
primarily related to the sale of our Shoreline Technology Center life science
campus in November 2018;
•increased depreciation and amortization expense as a result of: (i) assets
acquired during 2018 and 2019, (ii) development and redevelopment projects
placed into service during 2018 and 2019, and (iii) the conversion of 14 senior
housing triple-net assets from a DFL to a RIDEA structure in 2019, partially
offset by decreased depreciation and amortization from asset sales during 2018
and 2019;
•an increase in loss on debt extinguishments, resulting from redemptions and
repurchases of senior unsecured notes in 2019; and
•increased impairment charges on real estate assets recognized during 2019
compared to 2018.
The decrease in net income (loss) was partially offset by:
•increased NOI from: (i) annual rent escalations, (ii) 2018 and 2019
acquisitions, and (iii) development and redevelopment projects placed in service
during 2018 and 2019;
•a reduction in interest expense as a result of debt repayments during 2018 and
2019; and
•an increase in other income, primarily resulting from: (i) a gain upon change
of control of 19 SHOP assets in 2019, and (ii) a loss on consolidation of seven
care homes in the U.K. during the first quarter of 2018, partially offset by a
gain upon change of control related to the acquisition of the outstanding equity
interests in three life science joint ventures in November 2018.

(1)Total Portfolio includes results of operations from disposed properties
through the disposition date.
(2)Represents adjustments to NOI in accordance with the Company's definition of
Adjusted NOI. Refer to "Non-GAAP Measures" above for definitions of NOI and
Adjusted NOI.
(3)From our 2019 presentation of Same-Store, we removed one life science
facility that was placed in redevelopment and one life science facility related
to a significant tenant relocation.
(4)Base rent does not include tenant recoveries, additional rents in excess of
floors and non-cash revenue adjustments (i.e., straight-line rents, amortization
of market lease intangibles, DFL non-cash interest, and deferred revenues).
Same-Store Adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of the following:
•annual rent escalations;
•new leasing activity; and
•mark-to-market lease renewals.
Total Portfolio Adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of the
aforementioned impacts to Same-Store and the following Non-Same-Store impacts:
•NOI from (i) increased occupancy in developments and redevelopments placed into
service in 2019 and 2020 and (ii) acquisitions in 2019 and 2020; partially
offset by
•decreased NOI from the placement of facilities into redevelopment in 2019 and
2020.

(3)From our 2018 presentation of Same-Store, we removed one life science
facility that was sold, two life science facilities that were placed into
redevelopment, and one life science facility related to a casualty event.
(4)Base rent does not include tenant recoveries, additional rents in excess of
floors and non-cash revenue adjustments (i.e., straight-line rents, amortization
of market lease intangibles, DFL non-cash interest, and deferred revenues).
Same-Store Adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of the following:
•new leasing activity;
•mark-to-market lease renewals;
•increased occupancy; and
•annual rent escalations.
Total Portfolio Adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of the
aforementioned increases to Same-Store and the following Non-Same-Store impacts:
•NOI from (i) increased occupancy in developments and redevelopments placed into
service in 2018 and 2019 and (ii) acquisitions in 2019; partially offset by
•decreased NOI from facilities sold in 2018 and 2019 and the placement of
facilities into redevelopment in 2019.

Interest income
Interest income increased for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily as a
result of new loans and additional funding of existing loans.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased for the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily as a
result of senior unsecured notes repurchases and redemptions during 2018 and
2019, partially offset by senior unsecured notes issued during 2019.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the year ended December 31,
2020 primarily as a result of: (i) the acquisition of Brookdale's interest in
and consolidation of 13 CCRCs during the first quarter of 2020, (ii) assets
acquired during 2019 and 2020, and (iii) development and redevelopment projects
placed into service during 2019 and 2020. The increase was partially offset by
dispositions of real estate throughout 2019 and 2020.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the year ended December 31,
2019 primarily as a result of (i) assets acquired during 2018 and 2019 and (ii)
development and redevelopment projects placed into service during 2018 and 2019,
partially offset by dispositions of real estate throughout 2018 and 2019.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expenses decreased for the year ended December 31,
2019 primarily as a result of decreased severance and related charges, driven by
the departure of our former Executive Chairman in March 2018, partially offset
by higher compensation costs in 2019.
Transaction costs
Transaction costs increased for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily as a
result of costs associated with the transition of 13 CCRCs from Brookdale to LCS
in January 2020.
Impairments and loan loss reserves (recoveries), net
The impairment charges recognized in each period vary depending on facts and
circumstances related to each asset and are impacted by negotiations with
potential buyers, current operations of the assets, and other factors.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
Impairments and loan loss reserves (recoveries), net increased for the year
ended December 31, 2020 primarily as a result of: (i) an increase related to
buildings we intend to demolish and (ii) an increase in credit losses under the
current expected credit losses model (which we began using in conjunction with
our adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020).
Impairments and loan loss reserves (recoveries), net increased for the year
ended December 31, 2019 as a result of additional assets being impaired under
the held-for-sale impairment model.
Gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold: (i) 11 MOBs, (ii) 2 MOB land
parcels, and (iii) 1 facility from the other non-reportable segment, resulting
in total gain on sales of $90 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we sold: (i) our remaining 49% interest
in our U.K. joint venture, (ii) 11 MOBs, (iii) 1 life science asset, (iv) 1
undeveloped life science land parcel, and (v) 1 facility from other
non-reportable segments, resulting in no material gain or loss on sale.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold: (i) a 51% interest in
substantially all the U.K. assets previously owned by the Company, (ii) 16 life
science assets, and (iii) 4 MOBs, resulting in total gain on sales of $831
million.
Loss on debt extinguishments
Refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information
regarding unsecured note repurchases, repayments, and redemptions and the
associated loss on debt extinguishments recognized.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net increased for the year ended December 31, 2020
primarily as a result of: (i) a gain upon change of control related to the
acquisition of the outstanding equity interest in 13 CCRCs from Brookdale during
the first quarter of 2020; (ii) a gain on sale related to the sale of a hospital
underlying a DFL during the first quarter of 2020; and (iii) government grant
income received under the CARES Act during 2020. The increase was partially
offset by a gain upon change of control recognized in 2019 related to a senior
housing joint venture with a sovereign wealth fund (see Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements).
Other income (expense), net increased for the year ended December 31, 2019
primarily as a result of (i) a gain upon change of control recognized in 2019
related to a senior housing joint venture with a sovereign wealth fund and (ii)
a loss upon change of control of seven U.K. care homes in March 2018 (see Note
19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The increase in other income
(expense), net was partially offset by a gain upon change of control related to
the acquisition of the outstanding equity interests in three life science joint
ventures in November 2018.
Income tax benefit (expense)
Income tax benefit increased for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily as a
result of the tax benefits related to the purchase of Brookdale's interest in 13
of the 15 communities in the CCRC JV, including the management termination fee
expense paid to Brookdale in connection with transitioning management of 13
CCRCs to LCS, and the extension of the net operating loss carryback period
provided by the CARES Act, partially offset by a deferred tax asset valuation
allowance and corresponding income tax expense recognized in 2020.
Equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures
Equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased for the year ended
December 31, 2020 primarily as a result of our share of net losses from an
unconsolidated joint venture owning 19 SHOP assets that was formed in December
2019, partially offset by no longer recognizing the operating results of 13
CCRCs in equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures as we acquired
Brookdale's interest and now consolidate those facilities. The decrease is
further offset by our share of a gain on sale of one asset in an unconsolidated
joint venture during the first quarter of 2020.
Equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased for the year ended
December 31, 2019 primarily as a result of an impairment charge recognized
related to one asset classified as held-for-sale in the CCRC JV (see Note 9 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements) and the sale of our equity method
investment in RIDEA II in June 2018, partially offset by additional equity
income from our previously-held investment in the U.K. JV.

  Table of Contents
Income (loss) from discontinued operations
Income from discontinued operations increased for the year ended December 31,
2020 primarily as a result of: (i) increased gain on sales of real estate from
the disposal of multiple senior housing portfolios during 2019 and 2020; (ii)
decreased depreciation and amortization expense due to assets being disposed of
or classified as held for sale throughout 2019 and 2020 and assets that were
fully depreciated in 2019 and 2020; (iii) government grant income received under
the CARES Act during 2020; and (iv) NOI from acquisitions during 2019. The
increase in income (loss) from discontinued operations was partially offset by:
(i) decreased NOI from dispositions of real estate during 2019 and 2020 and (ii)
increased expenses and decreased occupancy related to COVID-19.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations decreased for the year ended
December 31, 2019 primarily as a result of: (i) decreased gain on sales of real
estate; (ii) increased impairment charges due to additional asset being
classified as held for sale in 2019; (iii) increased depreciation and
amortization expense due to acquisitions of real estate during 2018 and 2019;
(iv) decreased NOI from dispositions of real estate during 2018 and 2019. The
decrease in income (loss) from discontinued operations was partially offset by:
(i) increased other income (expense), net from a gain upon change of control
related to consolidating a senior housing joint venture in 2019 and (ii)
additional NOI from acquisitions during 2018 and 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that our cash flow from operations, available cash balances, and
cash from our various financing activities will be adequate for at least the
next 12 months for purposes of: (i) funding recurring operating expenses; (ii)
meeting debt service requirements; and (iii) satisfying our distributions to our
stockholders and non-controlling interest members. During the year ended
December 31, 2020, distributions to common shareholders and noncontrolling
interest holders exceeded cash flows from operations by approximately
$66 million. Distributions were made using a combination of cash flows from
operations, funds available under our bank line of credit and commercial paper
program, proceeds from the sale of properties, and other sources of cash
available to us.
Our principal investing liquidity needs for the next 12 months are to:
•fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs and
•fund future acquisition, transactional and development activities.
We anticipate satisfying these future investing needs using one or more of the
following:
•cash flow from operations;
•sale of, or exchange of ownership interests in, properties or other
investments;
•borrowings under our bank line of credit and commercial paper program;
•issuance of additional debt, including unsecured notes, term loans, and
mortgage debt; and/or
•issuance of common or preferred stock or its equivalent.
Our ability to access the capital markets impacts our cost of capital and
ability to refinance maturing indebtedness, as well as our ability to fund
future acquisitions and development through the issuance of additional
securities or secured debt. Credit ratings impact our ability to access capital
and directly impact our cost of capital as well. For example, our bank line of
credit and term loan accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a
margin that depends upon the credit ratings of our senior unsecured long term
debt. We also pay a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends
upon our credit ratings. As of February 8, 2021, we had long-term credit ratings
of Baa1 from Moody's and BBB+ from S&P Global and Fitch, and short-term credit
ratings of P-2, A-2 and F2 from Moody's, S&P Global, and Fitch, respectively.
A downgrade in credit ratings by Moody's, S&P Global, and Fitch may have a
negative impact on the interest rates and facility fees for our bank line of
credit and term loan. While a downgrade in our credit ratings would adversely
impact our cost of borrowing, we believe we continue to have access to the
unsecured debt markets, and we could also seek to enter into one or more secured
debt financings, issue additional securities, including under our 2020 ATM
Program (as defined below), or dispose of certain assets to fund future
operating costs, capital expenditures, or acquisitions, although no assurances
can be made in this regard. Refer to "COVID-19 Update" above for a more
comprehensive discussion of the potential impact of COVID-19 on our business.

Operating Cash Flows
Operating cash flow decreased $88 million between the years ended December 31,
2020 and 2019 primarily as the result of: (i) the termination fee paid to
Brookdale in connection with the CCRC Acquisition; (ii) assets sold during 2019
and 2020, and (iii) additional expenses and decreased occupancy in our SHOP and
CCRC assets related to COVID-19. The decrease in operating cash flow is
partially offset by: (i) 2019 and 2020 acquisitions, (ii) annual rent increases,
(iii) new leasing activity; (iv) developments and redevelopments placed in
service during 2019 and 2020, and (v) increased interest received from new loan
investments.
Operating cash flow decreased $3 million between the years ended December 31,
2019 and 2018 primarily as the result of: (i) dispositions during 2018 and 2019
and (ii) occupancy declines and higher labor costs within our SHOP assets. The
decrease in operating cash flow is partially offset by: (i) 2018 and 2019
acquisitions, (ii) annual rent increases, (iii) developments and redevelopments
placed in service during 2018 and 2019, and (iv) decreased interest paid as a
result of debt repayments during 2018 and 2019.
Our cash flow from operations is dependent upon the occupancy levels of our
buildings, rental rates on leases, our tenants' performance on their lease
obligations, the level of operating expenses, and other factors.

Discontinued Operations
Operating, investing, and financing cash flows in our Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows are reported inclusive of both cash flows from continuing operations
and cash flows from discontinued operations. Certain significant cash flows from
discontinued operations are disclosed in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. The absence of future cash flows from discontinued operations is not
expected to significantly impact our liquidity, as the proceeds from senior
housing triple-net and SHOP dispositions are expected to be used to pay down
debt and invest in additional real estate in our other business lines.
Additionally, we have multiple other sources of liquidity that can be utilized
in the future, as needed. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section
above for additional information regarding our liquidity.
Debt


Senior Unsecured Notes
In June 2020, we completed a public offering of $600 million in aggregate
principal amount of our 2031 Notes.
In June 2020, using a portion of the net proceeds from the 2031 Notes offering,
we repurchased $250 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.25% senior
unsecured notes due in 2023.
In July 2020, using an additional portion of the net proceeds from the 2031
Notes offering, we redeemed all $300 million of our 3.15% senior unsecured notes
due in 2022.
From January 1, 2021 to February 8, 2021, we repurchased $112 million aggregate
principal amount of our 4.25% senior unsecured notes due in 2023, $201 million
aggregate principal amount of our 4.20% senior unsecured notes due in 2024, and
$469 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.88% senior unsecured notes due
in 2024.
See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
about our outstanding debt.
Approximately 94%, 94%, and 99% of our consolidated debt, excluding debt
classified as liabilities related to assets held for sale and discontinued
operations, net, was fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018,
respectively. At December 31, 2020, our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt
had weighted average interest rates of 3.85% and 0.85%, respectively. At
December 31, 2019, our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt had weighted
average interest rates of 3.94% and 2.58%, respectively. At December 31, 2018,
our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt had weighted average interest rates
of 4.04% and 2.12%, respectively. We had $36 million, $42 million and $43
million of variable rate debt swapped to fixed through interest rate swaps as of
December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which is reported in liabilities
related to assets held for sale and discontinued operations, net. For a more
detailed discussion of our interest rate risk, see "Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk" in Item 3 below.

Equity


At December 31, 2020, we had 538 million shares of common stock outstanding,
equity totaled $7.3 billion, and our equity securities had a market value of
$16.5 billion.
At December 31, 2020, non-managing members held an aggregate of five million
units in seven limited liability companies ("DownREITs") for which we are the
managing member. The DownREIT units are exchangeable for an amount of cash
approximating the then-current market value of shares of our common stock or, at
our option, shares of our common stock (subject to certain adjustments, such as
stock splits and reclassifications). At December 31, 2020, the outstanding
DownREIT units were convertible into approximately seven million shares of our
common stock.
At-The-Market Program
In February 2020, we terminated our previous at-the-market equity offering
program and concurrently established a new at-the-market equity offering program
(the "2020 ATM Program"). In addition to the issuance and sale of shares of our
common stock, we may also enter into one or more forward sales agreements with
sales agents for the sale of our shares of common stock under our 2020 ATM
Program.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company settled all 16.8 million
shares previously outstanding under ATM forward contracts at a weighted average
net price of $31.38 per share, after commissions, resulting in net proceeds of
$528 million.
At December 31, 2020, approximately $1.25 billion of our common stock remained
available for sale under the 2020 ATM Program. Actual future sales of our common
stock will depend upon a variety of factors, including but not limited to market
conditions, the trading price of our common stock, and our capital needs. We
have no obligation to sell any of the remaining shares under our 2020 ATM
Program.
Other than in connection with settlement of ATM forward contracts described
above, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we did not issue any shares of
our common stock under our 2020 ATM Program.
See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
about our 2020 ATM Program and our previous at-the-market equity offering
program.
Shelf Registration


In May 2018, we filed a prospectus with the SEC as part of a registration
statement on Form S-3, using an automatic shelf registration process. This shelf
registration statement expires in May 2021 and at or prior to such time, we
expect to file a new shelf registration statement. Under the "shelf" process, we
may sell any combination of the securities described in the prospectus through
one or more offerings. The securities described in the prospectus include common
stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities and warrants.

(1)Excludes $4 million of development commitments, $4 million of ground and
other operating leases, and $111 million of interest related to assets
classified as discontinued operations. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information regarding discontinued operations.
(2)Excludes mortgage debt on assets held for sale and discontinued operations of
$319 million and mortgage debt from unconsolidated joint ventures.
(3)Represents loan commitments to finance development and redevelopment
projects.
(4)Represents our commitments, as lessor, under signed leases and contracts for
operating properties and includes allowances for tenant improvements and leasing
commissions. Excludes allowances for tenant improvements related to developments
in progress for which we have executed an agreement with a general contractor to
complete the tenant improvements (recognized in the "Development commitments"
line).
(5)Represents construction and other commitments for developments in progress
and includes allowances for tenant improvements of $28 million that we have
provided as a lessor.
(6)Interest on variable-rate debt is calculated using rates in effect at
December 31, 2020.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We own interests in certain unconsolidated joint ventures as described in Note 9
to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Except in limited circumstances, our
risk of loss is limited to our investment in the joint venture and any
outstanding loans receivable. We have no other material off-balance sheet
arrangements that we expect would materially affect our liquidity and capital
resources except those described above under "Contractual Obligations".
Inflation
Our leases often provide for either fixed increases in base rents or indexed
escalators, based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures, and/or
additional rent based on increases in the tenants' operating revenues. Most of
our MOB leases require the tenant to pay a share of property operating costs
such as real estate taxes, insurance and utilities. Substantially all of our
senior housing triple-net, life science, and remaining other leases require the
tenant or operator to pay all of the property operating costs or reimburse us
for all such costs. We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be
offset, in part, by the tenant or operator expense reimbursements and
contractual rent increases described above.

(1)For the year ended December 31, 2020, includes a $170 million gain upon
consolidation of 13 CCRCs in which we acquired Brookdale's interest and began
consolidating during the first quarter of 2020. For the year ended December 31,
2019, includes a $161 million gain upon deconsolidation of 19 previously
consolidated SHOP assets that were contributed into a new unconsolidated senior
housing joint venture with a sovereign wealth fund. For the year ended December
31, 2018, represents the gain upon consolidation related to the acquisition of
our partner's interests in four previously unconsolidated life science assets,
partially offset by the loss upon consolidation of seven U.K. care homes. Gains
and losses upon change of control are included in other income (expense), net in
the consolidated statements of operations.
(2)For the year ended December 31, 2016, represents income tax expense
associated with the state built-in gain tax payable upon the disposition of
specific real estate assets, of which $49 million relates to the HCR ManorCare,
Inc. ("HCRMC") real estate portfolio that we spun-off in 2016.
(3)For the year ended December 31, 2020, includes the termination fee and
transition fee expenses related to terminating the management agreements with
Brookdale for 13 CCRCs and transitioning those communities to LCS, partially
offset by the tax benefit related to those expenses. The expenses related to
terminating management agreements are included in operating expenses in the
consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2017,
includes $55 million of net non-cash charges related to the right to terminate
certain triple-net leases and management agreements in conjunction with the 2017
Brookdale Transactions. For the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily relates
to the spin-off of Quality Care Properties, Inc.
(4)For the year ended December 31, 2020, includes reserves for loan losses under
the current expected credit losses accounting standard in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
("ASC 326"). The year ended December 31, 2020 also includes a gain on sale of a
hospital that was in a DFL and the impairment of an undeveloped MOB land parcel,
which was sold during the third quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2019,
represents the impairment of 13 senior housing triple-net facilities under DFLs
recognized as a result of entering into sales agreements. For the year ended
December 31, 2018, primarily relates to the impairment of an undeveloped life
science land parcel classified as held for sale, partially offset by an
impairment recovery upon the sale of a mezzanine loan investment in March 2018.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, relates to $144 million of impairments on
our Tandem Mezzanine Loan, net of a $51 million impairment recovery upon the
sale of a senior notes investment.
(5)For the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily relates to the departure of
our former Executive Chairman and corporate restructuring activities. For the
year ended December 31, 2017, primarily relates to the departure of our former
Chief Accounting Officer. For the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily
relates to the departure of our former President and Chief Executive Officer.
(6)For the year ended December 31, 2020, represents the valuation allowance and
corresponding income tax expense related to deferred tax assets that are no
longer expected to be realized as a result of our plan to dispose of our SHOP
portfolio. We determined we were unlikely to hold the assets long enough to
realize the future value of certain deferred tax assets generated by the net
operating losses of our taxable REIT subsidiaries.
(7)For the year ended December 31, 2020, represents the tax benefit from the
CARES Act, which extended the net operating loss carryback period to five years.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, represents the remeasurement of deferred
tax assets and liabilities as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was
signed into legislation on December 22, 2017.
(8)In connection with the acquisition of the remaining 51% interest in the CCRC
JV in January 2020, we consolidated the 13 communities in the CCRC JV and
recorded the assets and liabilities at their acquisition date relative fair
values, including the CCRC contract liabilities associated with previously
collected non-refundable entrance fees. In conjunction with increasing those
CCRC contract liabilities to their fair value, we concluded that we will no
longer adjust for the timing difference between non-refundable entrance fees
collected and amortized as we believe the amortization of these fees is a
meaningful representation of how we satisfy the performance obligations of the
fees. As such, upon consolidation of the CCRC assets, we no longer exclude the
difference between CCRC entrance fees collected and amortized from the
calculation of AFFO. For comparative periods presented, the adjustment continues
to represent our 49% share of non-refundable entrance fees collected by the CCRC
JV, net of reserves and net of CCRC JV entrance fee amortization.
(9)Primarily includes our share of AFFO capital expenditures from unconsolidated
joint ventures, partially offset by noncontrolling interests' share of AFFO
capital expenditures from consolidated joint ventures. For the year ended
December 31, 2020, includes an increase to insurance claims that have been
incurred but not yet reported on the 13 CCRCs in which we acquired Brookdale's
interest and began consolidating during the first quarter of 2020 and senior
housing triple-net assets that transitioned to RIDEA structures during the year.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
our management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies,
including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best
information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other
assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or
interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions
or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting
would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our
consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our
estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be
different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to
reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently
uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting
policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Below is a
discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may
require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters
that are inherently uncertain.
Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Healthpeak
Properties, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures and variable
interest entities ("VIEs") that we control, through voting rights or other
means. We consolidate investments in VIEs when we are the primary beneficiary of
the VIE. A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary
of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly
impact the entity's economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses
of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be
significant to the VIE.
We make judgments about which entities are VIEs based on an assessment of
whether: (i) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that
entity's activities without additional subordinated financial support, (ii)
substantially all of an entity's activities either involve or are conducted on
behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights, or (iii)
the equity investors as a group lack any of the following: (a) the power through
voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most
significantly impact the entity's economic performance, (b) the obligation to
absorb the expected losses of an entity, or (c) the right to receive the
expected residual returns of an entity. Criterion (iii) above is generally
applied to limited partnerships and similarly structured entities by assessing
whether a simple majority of the limited partners hold substantive rights to
participate in the significant decisions of the entity or have the ability to
remove the decision maker or liquidate the entity without cause. If neither of
those criteria are met, the entity is a VIE.
We continually assess whether events have occurred that require us to reconsider
the initial determination of whether an entity is a VIE. Such events include,
but are not limited to: (i) a change to the contractual arrangements of the
entity or in the ability of a party to exercise its participation or kick-out
rights, (ii) a change to the capitalization structure of the entity, or (iii)
acquisitions or sales of interests that constitute a change in control. When a
reconsideration event occurs, we reassess whether the entity is a VIE.
We also make judgments with respect to our level of influence or control over an
entity and whether we are (or are not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
Consideration of various factors includes, but is not limited to:
•which activities most significantly impact the entity's economic performance,
and our ability to direct those activities;
•our form of ownership interest;
•our representation on the entity's governing body;
•the size and seniority of our investment;
•our ability to manage our ownership interest relative to other interest
holders; and
•our ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making
decisions, replace the manager, and/or liquidate the entity, if applicable.
Our ability to correctly assess our influence or control over an entity when
determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE affects the presentation of these
entities in our consolidated financial statements. When we perform a
reassessment of the primary beneficiary at a date other than at inception of the
VIE, our assumptions may be different and may result in the identification of a
different primary beneficiary.
                                       67
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
If we determine that we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, our consolidated
financial statements include the operating results of the VIE rather than the
results of our variable interest in the VIE. We require VIEs to provide us
timely financial information and review the internal controls of VIEs to
determine if we can rely on the financial information it provides. If a VIE has
deficiencies in its internal controls over financial reporting, or does not
provide us with timely financial information, it may adversely impact the
quality and/or timing of our financial reporting and our internal controls over
financial reporting.
Revenue Recognition


Lease Classification
At the inception of a new lease arrangement, including new leases that arise
from amendments, we assess the terms and conditions to determine the proper
lease classification. For leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019, the
lease arrangement was classified as an operating lease if none of the following
criteria were met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee prior to or shortly
after the end of the lease term, (ii) the lessee had a bargain purchase option
during or at the end of the lease term, (iii) the lease term was equal to 75% or
more of the underlying property's economic life, or (iv) the present value of
future minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) was equal to 90% or
more of the estimated fair value of the leased asset. If one of the four
criteria was met and the minimum lease payments were determined to be reasonably
predictable and collectible, the lease arrangement was generally accounted for
as a DFL.
Concurrent with our adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02,
Leases ("ASU 2016-02") on January 1, 2019, we began classifying a lease entered
into subsequent to adoption as an operating lease if none of the following
criteria are met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee by the end of the
lease term, (ii) lessee has a purchase option during or at the end of the lease
term that it is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for the
major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, (iv) the
present value of future minimum lease payments is equal to substantially all of
the fair value of the underlying asset, or (v) the underlying asset is of such a
specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to us at the
end of the lease term.
If the assumptions utilized in the above classification assessments were
different, our lease classification for accounting purposes may have been
different; thus the timing and amount of our revenue recognized would have been
impacted, which may be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Rental and Related Revenues
We recognize rental revenue for operating leases on a straight-line basis over
the lease term when collectibility of all minimum lease payments is probable and
the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of a leased asset.
If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant
improvements are owned by the tenant or us. When we are the owner of the tenant
improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or
have control of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially
complete. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant
improvement allowance funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a
reduction of revenue over the lease term. The determination of ownership of a
tenant improvement is subject to significant judgment. If our assessment of the
owner of the tenant improvements was different, the timing and amount of our
revenue recognized would be impacted.
Certain leases provide for additional rents that are contingent upon a
percentage of the facility's revenue in excess of specified base amounts or
other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized when actual results reported by the
tenant, or estimates of tenant results, exceed the base amount or other
thresholds. The recognition of additional rents requires us to make estimates of
amounts owed and, to a certain extent, is dependent on the accuracy of the
facility results reported to us. Our estimates may differ from actual results,
which could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Resident Fees and Services
Resident fee revenue is recorded when services are rendered and includes
resident room and care charges, community fees and other resident charges.
Residency agreements are generally for a term of 30 days to one year, with
resident fees billed monthly, in advance. Revenue for certain care related
services is recognized as services are provided and is billed monthly in
arrears.
Certain of our CCRCs are operated as entrance fee communities, which typically
require a resident to pay an upfront entrance fee that includes both a
refundable portion and non-refundable portion. When we receive a nonrefundable
entrance fee, it is recognized as deferred revenue and amortized into revenue
over the estimated stay of the resident.

Credit Losses


We continuously assess the collectibility of operating lease straight-line rent
receivables. If it is no longer probable that substantially all future minimum
lease payments will be received, the straight-line rent receivable balance is
written off and recognized as a decrease in revenue in that period. We monitor
the liquidity and creditworthiness of our tenants and operators on a continuous
basis. This evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, property
performance, credit enhancements, and other factors. We exercise judgment in
this assessment and consider payment history and current credit status in
developing these estimates. These estimates may differ from actual results,
which could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Loans receivable and DFLs (collectively, "finance receivables"), are reviewed
and assigned an internal rating of Performing, Watch List, or Workout. Finance
receivables that are deemed Performing meet all present contractual obligations,
and collection and timing of all amounts owed is reasonably assured. Watch List
finance receivables are defined as finance receivables that do not meet the
definition of Performing or Workout. Workout finance receivables are defined as
finance receivables in which we have determined, based on current information
and events, that: (i) it is probable we will be unable to collect all amounts
due according to the contractual terms of the agreement, (ii) the tenant,
operator, or borrower is delinquent on making payments under the contractual
terms of the agreement, and (iii) we have commenced action or anticipate
pursuing action in the near term to seek recovery of our investment.
Finance receivables are placed on nonaccrual status when management determines
that the collectibility of contractual amounts is not reasonably assured (the
asset will have an internal rating of either Watch List or Workout). Further, we
perform a credit analysis to support the tenant's, operator's, borrower's,
and/or guarantor's repayment capacity and the underlying collateral values. We
use the cash basis method of accounting for finance receivables placed on
nonaccrual status unless one of the following conditions exist whereby we
utilize the cost recovery method of accounting: (i) if we determine that it is
probable that we will only recover the recorded investment in the finance
receivable, net of associated allowances or charge-offs (if any) or (ii) we
cannot reasonably estimate the amount of an impaired finance receivable. For
cash basis method of accounting we apply payments received, excluding principal
paydowns, to interest income so long as that amount does not exceed the amount
that would have been earned under the original contractual terms. For cost
recovery method of accounting any payment received is applied to reduce the
recorded investment. Generally, we return a finance receivable to accrual status
when all delinquent payments become current under the terms of the loan or lease
agreements and collectibility of the remaining contractual loan or lease
payments is reasonably assured.
Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13") on January 1, 2020, allowances were
established for finance receivables on an individual basis utilizing an estimate
of probable losses, if they were determined to be impaired. Finance Receivables
were impaired when it was deemed probable that we would be unable to collect all
amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan or lease. An
allowance was based upon our assessment of the lessee's or borrower's overall
financial condition, economic resources, payment record, the prospects for
support from any financially responsible guarantors and, if appropriate, the net
realizable value of any collateral. These estimates considered all available
evidence, including the expected future cash flows discounted at the finance
receivable's effective interest rate, fair value of collateral, general economic
conditions and trends, historical and industry loss experience, and other
relevant factors, as appropriate. If a finance receivable was deemed partially
or wholly uncollectible, the uncollectible balance was charged off against the
allowance in the period in which the uncollectible determination has been made.
Subsequent to adopting ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, we began using a loss
model that relies on future expected credit losses, rather than incurred losses,
as was required under historical U.S. GAAP. Under the new model, we are required
to recognize future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of a
finance receivable at inception of that instrument. The model emphasizes
historical experience and future market expectations to determine a loss to be
recognized at inception. However, the model continues to be applied on an
individual basis and rely on counter-party specific information to ensure the
most accurate estimate is recognized.

Real Estate


We make estimates as part of our process for allocating a purchase price to the
various identifiable assets and liabilities of an acquisition based upon the
relative fair value of each asset or liability. The most significant components
of our allocations are typically buildings as-if-vacant, land, and in-place
leases. In the case of allocating fair value to buildings and intangibles, our
fair value estimates will affect the amount of depreciation and amortization we
record over the estimated useful life of each asset acquired. In the case of
allocating fair value to in-place leases, we make our best estimates based on
our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease. Factors
considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected
lease-up periods, market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. Our
assumptions affect the amount of future revenue and/or depreciation and
amortization expense that we will recognize over the remaining useful life for
the acquired in-place leases.
Certain of our acquisitions involve the assumption of contract liabilities. We
typically estimate the fair value of contract liabilities by applying a
reasonable profit margin to the total discounted estimated future costs
associated with servicing the contract. We consider a variety of market and
contract-specific conditions when making assumptions that impact the estimated
fair value of the contract liability.
A variety of costs are incurred in the development and leasing of properties.
After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the
specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a
development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease
involves a degree of judgment. The costs of land and buildings under development
include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include
pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development
costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, and other costs
incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project to
be considered substantially complete and available for occupancy and cease
capitalization of costs upon the completion of the related tenant improvements.
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations


We classify a real estate property as held for sale when: (i) management has
approved the disposal, (ii) the property is available for sale in its present
condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, (iv) it
is probable that the property will be disposed of within one year, (v) the
property is being marketed at a reasonable price relative to its fair value, and
(vi) it is unlikely that the disposal plan will significantly change or be
withdrawn. If an asset is classified as held for sale, it is reported at the
lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and no longer
depreciated.
We classify a loan receivable as held for sale when we no longer have the intent
and ability to hold the loan receivable for the foreseeable future or until
maturity. If a loan receivable is classified as held for sale, it is reported at
the lower of amortized cost or fair value.
A discontinued operation represents: (i) a component of an entity or group of
components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale in a
single transaction and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a
major effect on our operations and financial results or (ii) an acquired
business that is classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition.
Examples of a strategic shift may include disposing of: (i) a separate major
line of business, (ii) a separate major geographic area of operations, or (iii)
other major parts of the Company.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


We assess the carrying value of our real estate assets and related intangibles
("real estate assets") when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of real estate assets is
measured by comparing the carrying amount of the real estate assets to the
respective estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The expected future
undiscounted cash flows reflect external market factors and are
probability-weighted to reflect multiple possible cash-flow scenarios, including
selling the assets at various points in the future. Additionally, the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows are calculated utilizing the lowest level of
identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other
assets and liabilities. In order to review our real estate assets for
recoverability, we make assumptions regarding external market conditions
(including capitalization rates and growth rates), forecasted cash flows and
sales prices, and our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset.
If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the real estate assets is
not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we recognize an impairment
charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the
real estate asset.
                                       70
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
Determining the fair value of real estate assets, including assets classified as
held-for-sale, involves significant judgment and generally utilizes market
capitalization rates, comparable market transactions, estimated per-unit or per
square foot prices, negotiations with prospective buyers, and forecasted cash
flows (lease revenue rates, expense rates, growth rates, etc.). Our ability to
accurately predict future operating results and resulting cash flows, and
estimate fair values, impacts the timing and recognition of impairments. While
we believe our assumptions are reasonable, changes in these assumptions may have
a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures


The initial carrying value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is
based on the amount paid to purchase the joint venture interest, the fair value
of assets contributed to the joint venture, or the fair value of the assets
prior to the sale of interests in the joint venture. We evaluate our equity
method investments for impairment by first reviewing for indicators of
impairment based on the performance of the underlying real estate assets held by
the joint venture. If an equity-method investment shows indicators of
impairment, we compare the fair value of the investment to the carrying value.
If we determine there is a decline in the fair value of our investment in an
unconsolidated joint venture below its carrying value and it is
other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded. The determination of the
fair value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and as to whether a
deficiency in fair value is other-than-temporary involves significant judgment.
Our estimates consider all available evidence including, as appropriate, the
present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at market rates,
general economic conditions and trends, severity and duration of a fair value
deficiency, and other relevant factors. Capitalization rates, discount rates,
and credit spreads utilized in our valuation models are based on rates we
believe to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the
respective investments. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, changes
in these assumptions may have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
Income Taxes


As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements,
significant management judgment is required to evaluate our compliance with REIT
requirements. Our determinations are based on interpretation of tax laws and our
conclusions may have an impact on the income tax expense recognized. Adjustments
to income tax expense may be required as a result of: (i) audits conducted by
federal, state, and local tax authorities, (ii) our ability to qualify as a
REIT, (iii) the potential for built-in gain recognition, and (iv) changes in tax
laws. Adjustments required in any given period are included within the income
tax provision.
We are required to evaluate our deferred tax assets for realizability and
recognize a valuation allowance, which is recorded against its deferred tax
assets, if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. We consider all available evidence in its determination of whether a
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is required.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of new
accounting standards.
ITEM 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising
from adverse changes in interest rates. We use derivative and other financial
instruments in the normal course of business to mitigate interest rate risk. We
do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value (see
Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
To illustrate the effect of movements in the interest rate markets, we performed
a market sensitivity analysis on our hedging instruments. We applied various
basis point spreads to the underlying interest rate curves of the derivative
portfolio in order to determine the change in fair value. Assuming a one
percentage point change in the underlying interest rate curve, the estimated
change in fair value of each of the underlying derivative instruments would not
be material.
Interest Rate Risk


At December 31, 2020, our exposure to interest rate risk is primarily on our
variable rate debt. At December 31, 2020, $36 million of our variable-rate debt
was hedged by interest rate swap transactions. The interest rate swaps are
designated as cash flow hedges, with the objective of managing the exposure to
interest rate risk by converting the interest rates on our variable-rate debt to
fixed interest rates.
                                       71
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash
flows on our fixed rate debt and assets until their maturity or earlier
prepayment and refinancing. If interest rates have risen at the time we seek to
refinance our fixed rate debt, whether at maturity or otherwise, our future
earnings and cash flows could be adversely affected by additional borrowing
costs. Conversely, lower interest rates at the time of refinancing may reduce
our overall borrowing costs. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair
value of our fixed rate instruments. At December 31, 2020, a one percentage
point increase or decrease in interest rates would change the fair value of our
fixed rate debt by approximately $369 million and $401 million, respectively,
and would not materially impact earnings or cash flows. Additionally, a one
percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates would change the fair
value of our fixed rate debt investments by approximately $2 million and would
not materially impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, changes in interest
rates on variable rate debt and investments would change our future earnings and
cash flows, but not materially impact the fair value of those instruments.
Assuming a one percentage point change in the interest rate related to our
variable-rate debt and variable-rate investments, and assuming no other changes
in the outstanding balance at December 31, 2020, our annual interest expense and
interest income would increase by approximately $3 million and $1 million,
respectively.
Market Risk


We have investments in marketable debt securities classified as held-to-maturity
because we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to
maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost and
adjusted for the amortization of premiums and discounts through maturity. We
consider a variety of factors in evaluating an other-than-temporary decline in
value, such as: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has
been less than our current adjusted carrying value, the issuer's financial
condition, capital strength and near-term prospects, any recent events specific
to that issuer and economic conditions of its industry, and our investment
horizon in relationship to an anticipated near-term recovery in the market
value, if any. At December 31, 2020, both the fair value and carrying value of
marketable debt securities was $20 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Healthpeak Properties, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Healthpeak
Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and
2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income
(loss), equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2020, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index
at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our
opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria
established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report
dated February 10, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's
internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with
the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the
current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or
required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to
accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2)
involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The
communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on
the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the
critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit
matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Impairments - Real Estate - Refer to Notes 2 and 6 to the consolidated financial
statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company's evaluation of impairment of real estate involves an assessment of
the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles ("real estate
assets") when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value may not be recoverable. If a real estate asset is classified as held for
sale, individually or as part of a disposal group, the long-lived asset or
disposal group shall be measured at the lower of its carrying value or fair
value less costs to sell. If a real estate asset is held for use and its
carrying value is not recoverable, the real estate asset shall be measured at
the lower of its carrying value or fair value.
The determination of the fair value of real estate assets involves significant
judgment. The fair value of the impaired assets was based on forecasted sales
prices of the long-lived asset or disposal group, which are considered to be
Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Disposal groups were
determined based on management's intent, as of the measurement date, to sell two
or more real estate assets as a portfolio. Forecasted sales prices were
determined using an income approach and/or a market approach (comparable sales
model), which rely on certain assumptions by the Company, including: (i) market
capitalization rates, (ii) market prices per unit, and (iii) forecasted cash
flow streams (lease-up periods, lease revenue rates, expense rates, growth
rates, etc.). There are inherent uncertainties in these assumptions.
                                       74
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
Given the Company's evaluation of the forecasted sales price of a long lived
asset or disposal group requires management to make significant estimates and
assumptions related to market capitalization rates, market prices per unit, and
forecasted cash flow streams, performing audit procedures to evaluate the
reasonableness of management's forecasted sales price required a high degree of
auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the forecasted sales price for certain real
estate assets or disposal groups included the following, among others:
•We tested the effectiveness of controls over impairment of real estate,
including those over the forecasted sales price for real estate assets.
•We evaluated the forecasted sales prices for a sample of real estate assets,
which may have included estimates of market capitalization rates, market prices
per unit, and/or forecasted cash flow streams used in the determination of fair
value for each selected real estate asset by (1) evaluating the source
information and assumptions used by management and (2) testing the mathematical
accuracy of the discounted cash flow or direct capitalization model.
•We performed a retrospective review of impairment charges and real estate
assets that were classified as held for sale to evaluate the changing facts and
circumstances that led to the timing and recognition of impairment and/or change
in classification during the period and how such facts compared to the facts
that were considered in previous periods.

Healthpeak Properties, Inc.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1.  Business


Overview

Healthpeak Properties, Inc., a Standard & Poor's 500 company, is a Maryland
corporation that is organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust
("REIT") which, together with its consolidated entities (collectively,
"Healthpeak" or the "Company"), invests primarily in real estate serving the
healthcare industry in the United States ("U.S."). HealthpeakTM acquires,
develops, leases, owns, and manages healthcare real estate. The Company's
diverse portfolio is comprised of investments in the following reportable
healthcare segments: (i) life science; (ii) medical office; and (iii) continuing
care retirement community ("CCRC").
New Corporate Headquarters
In November 2020, the Company established a new corporate headquarters in
Denver, CO. With properties in nearly every state, the new headquarters provides
a favorable mix of affordability and a centralized geographic location. The
Company's Irvine, CA and Franklin, TN offices will continue to operate.
Senior Housing Triple-Net and Senior Housing Operating Portfolio Dispositions
During 2020, the Company established and began executing a plan to dispose of
its senior housing triple-net and Senior Housing Operating ("SHOP") properties.
The held for sale criteria for all such assets were met either on or before
December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the Company concluded the planned
dispositions represented a strategic shift and therefore, the assets are
classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented herein. See Note
5 for further information.
COVID-19 Update
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak caused by the
coronavirus ("COVID-19") to be a global pandemic. While COVID-19 continues to
evolve daily and its ultimate outcome is uncertain, it has caused significant
disruption to individuals, governments, financial markets, and businesses,
including the Company. Global health concerns and increased efforts to reduce
the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted federal, state, and local
governments to restrict normal daily activities, and resulted in travel bans,
quarantines, school closings, "shelter-in-place" orders requiring individuals to
remain in their homes other than to conduct essential services or activities, as
well as business limitations and shutdowns, which resulted in closure of many
businesses deemed to be non-essential. Although some of these restrictions have
since been lifted or scaled back, certain restrictions remain in place or have
been re-imposed and any future surges of COVID-19 may lead to other restrictions
being re-implemented in response to efforts to reduce the spread. In addition,
the Company's tenants, operators and borrowers are facing significant cost
increases as a result of increased health and safety measures, including
increased staffing demands for patient care and sanitation, as well as increased
usage and inventory of critical medical supplies and personal protective
equipment. These health and safety measures, which may remain in place for a
significant amount of time or be re-imposed from time to time, continue to place
a substantial strain on the business operations of many of the Company's
tenants, operators, and borrowers. The Company evaluated the impacts of COVID-19
on its business thus far and incorporated information concerning the impact of
COVID-19 into its assessments of liquidity, impairments, and collectibility from
tenants, residents, and borrowers as of December 31, 2020. The Company will
continue to monitor such impacts and will adjust its estimates and assumptions
based on the best available information.
NOTE 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Use of Estimates
Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of
financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from management's estimates.
                                       81
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Healthpeak
Properties, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures and variable
interest entities that it controls through voting rights or other means.
Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The Company is required to continually evaluate its variable interest entity
("VIE") relationships and consolidate these entities when it is determined to be
the primary beneficiary of their operations. A VIE is broadly defined as an
entity where either: (i) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to
finance that entity's activities without additional subordinated financial
support, (ii) substantially all of an entity's activities either involve or are
conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting
rights, or (iii) the equity investors as a group lack any of the following: (a)
the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity
that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, (b) the
obligation to absorb the expected losses of an entity, or (c) the right to
receive the expected residual returns of an entity. Criterion (iii) above is
generally applied to limited partnerships and similarly structured entities by
assessing whether a simple majority of the limited partners hold substantive
rights to participate in the significant decisions of the entity or have the
ability to remove the decision maker or liquidate the entity without cause. If
neither of those criteria are met, the entity is a VIE.
The designation of an entity as a VIE is reassessed upon certain events,
including, but not limited to: (i) a change to the contractual arrangements of
the entity or in the ability of a party to exercise its participation or
kick-out rights, (ii) a change to the capitalization structure of the entity, or
(iii) acquisitions or sales of interests that constitute a change in control.
A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE
if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly
impact the entity's economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses
of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be
significant to the VIE. The Company qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is
not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors include,
but is not limited to, its form of ownership interest, its representation on the
VIE's governing body, the size and seniority of its investment, its ability and
the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions, its
ability to manage its ownership interest relative to the other interest holders,
and its ability to replace the VIE manager and/or liquidate the entity.
For its investments in joint ventures that are not considered to be VIEs, the
Company evaluates the type of ownership rights held by the limited partner(s)
that may preclude consolidation by the majority interest holder. The assessment
of limited partners' rights and their impact on the control of a joint venture
should be made at inception of the joint venture and continually reassessed.
Revenue Recognition
Lease Classification
At the inception of a new lease arrangement, including new leases that arise
from amendments, the Company assesses the terms and conditions to determine the
proper lease classification. For leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019, a
lease arrangement was classified as an operating lease if none of the following
criteria were met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee prior to or shortly
after the end of the lease term, (ii) lessee had a bargain purchase option
during or at the end of the lease term, (iii) the lease term was equal to 75% or
more of the underlying property's economic life, or (iv) the present value of
future minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) was equal to 90% or
more of the excess fair value (over retained tax credits) of the leased
property. If one of the four criteria was met and the minimum lease payments
were determined to be reasonably predictable and collectible, the lease
arrangement was generally accounted for as a direct financing lease ("DFL").
Concurrent with the Company's adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02") on January 1, 2019, the Company began
classifying a lease entered into subsequent to adoption as an operating lease if
none of the following criteria are met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee
by the end of the lease term, (ii) lessee has a purchase option during or at the
end of the lease term that it is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease
term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying
asset, (iv) the present value of future minimum lease payments is equal to
substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset, or (v) the
underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no
alternative use to the Company at the end of the lease term.
                                       82
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
Rental and Related Revenues
The Company commences recognition of rental revenue for operating lease
arrangements when the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use
of a leased asset. The tenant is not considered to have taken physical
possession or have control of the leased asset until the Company-owned tenant
improvements are substantially complete. If a lease arrangement provides for
tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements are
owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant
improvements, any tenant improvements funded by the tenant are treated as lease
payments which are deferred and amortized into income over the lease term. When
the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement
allowance that is funded by the Company is treated as a lease incentive and
amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Ownership of tenant
improvements is determined based on various factors including, but not limited
to, the following criteria:
•lease stipulations of how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be
spent;
•which party to the arrangement retains legal title to the tenant improvements
upon lease expiration;
•whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in
nature;
•if the tenant improvements are expected to have significant residual value at
the end of the lease term;
•the responsible party for construction cost overruns; and
•which party constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.
Certain leases provide for additional rents that are contingent upon a
percentage of the facility's revenue in excess of specified base amounts or
other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized when actual results reported by the
tenant or estimates of tenant results, exceed the base amount or other
thresholds, and only after any contingency has been removed (when the related
thresholds are achieved). This may result in the recognition of rental revenue
in periods subsequent to when such payments are received.
Tenant recoveries subject to operating leases generally relate to the
reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and repair and maintenance
expense, and are recognized as both revenue (in rental and related revenues) and
expense (in operating expenses) in the period the expense is incurred as the
Company is the party paying the service provider.
For operating leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, the Company
recognizes income on a straight line basis over the lease term when
collectibility of future minimum lease payments is probable. Recognizing rental
income on a straight line basis results in a difference in the timing of revenue
amounts from what is contractually due from tenants. If the Company determines
that collectibility of future minimum lease payments is not probable, the
straight-line rent receivable balance is written off and recognized as a
decrease in revenue in that period and future revenue recognition is limited to
amounts contractually owed and paid.
Resident Fees and Services
Resident fee revenue is recorded when services are rendered and includes
resident room and care charges, community fees and other resident charges.
Residency agreements for SHOP and continuing care retirement community ("CCRC")
facilities are generally for a term of 30 days to one year, with resident fees
billed monthly, in advance. Revenue for certain care related services is
recognized as services are provided and is billed monthly in arrears.
Certain of the Company's CCRCs are operated as entrance fee communities, which
typically require a resident to pay an upfront entrance fee that includes both a
refundable portion and non-refundable portion. When the Company receives a
nonrefundable entrance fee, it is recorded in deferred revenue in the
consolidated balance sheets and amortized into revenue over the estimated stay
of the resident. The Company utilizes third-party actuarial experts in its
determination of the estimated stay of residents. At December 31, 2020 and 2019,
unamortized nonrefundable entrance fee liabilities were $484 million and
$68 million, respectively.
Income from Direct Financing Leases
The Company utilizes the direct finance method of accounting to record DFL
income. For a lease accounted for as a DFL, the net investment in the DFL
represents receivables for the sum of future minimum lease payments and the
estimated residual value of the leased property, less the unamortized unearned
income. Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income over the lease term
to provide a constant yield when collectibility of the lease payments is
reasonably assured.
                                       83
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
Interest Income
Loans receivable are classified as held-for-investment based on management's
intent and ability to hold the loans for the foreseeable future or to maturity.
Loans held-for-investment are carried at amortized cost and reduced by a
valuation allowance for estimated credit losses, as necessary. The Company
recognizes interest income on loans, including the amortization of discounts and
premiums, loan fees paid and received, using the interest method. The interest
method is applied on a loan-by-loan basis when collectibility of the future
payments is reasonably assured. Premiums and discounts are recognized as yield
adjustments over the term of the related loans.
Gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net
The Company recognizes a gain (loss) on sale of real estate when the criteria
for an asset to be derecognized are met, which include when: (i) a contract
exists, (ii) the buyer obtains control of the asset, and (iii) it is probable
that the Company will receive substantially all of the consideration to which it
is entitled. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of sale.
Government Grant Income
On March 27, 2020, the federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,
and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") to provide financial aid to individuals,
businesses, and state and local governments. During the year ended December 31,
2020, the Company received government grants under the CARES Act primarily to
cover increased expenses and lost revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic. Grant
income is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be
received and the Company will comply with all conditions attached to the grant.
Additionally, grants are recognized over the periods in which the Company
recognizes the increased expenses and lost revenue the grants are intended to
defray. As of December 31, 2020, the amount of qualifying expenditures and lost
revenue exceeded grant income recognized and the Company had complied or will
continue to comply with all grant conditions.
The following table summarizes information related to government grant income:

From January 1, 2021 through February 8, 2021, the Company received $3 million
in government grants under the CARES Act, which will be recognized during the
first quarter of 2021.
Credit Losses
The Company evaluates the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants,
operators, and borrowers on a monthly and quarterly basis. The Company's
evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, individual and portfolio
property performance, credit enhancements, liquidity, and other factors. The
Company's tenants, operators, and borrowers furnish property, portfolio, and
guarantor/operator-level financial statements, among other information, on a
monthly or quarterly basis; the Company utilizes this financial information to
calculate the lease or debt service coverages that it uses as a primary credit
quality indicator. Lease and debt service coverage information is evaluated
together with other property, portfolio, and operator performance information,
including revenue, expense, net operating income, occupancy, rental rate,
reimbursement trends, capital expenditures, and EBITDA (defined as earnings
before interest, tax, and depreciation and amortization), along with other
liquidity measures. The Company evaluates, on a monthly basis or immediately
upon a significant change in circumstance, its tenants', operators', and
borrowers' ability to service their obligations with the Company.
If it is no longer probable that substantially all future minimum lease payments
under operating leases will be received, the straight-line rent receivable
balance is written off and recognized as a decrease in revenue in that period.
                                       84
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
In connection with the Company's quarterly review process or upon the occurrence
of a significant event, loans receivable and DFLs (collectively, "finance
receivables"), are reviewed and assigned an internal rating of Performing, Watch
List, or Workout. Finance receivables that are deemed Performing meet all
present contractual obligations, and collection and timing, of all amounts owed
is reasonably assured. Watch List finance receivables are defined as finance
receivables that do not meet the definition of Performing or Workout. Workout
finance receivables are defined as finance receivables in which the Company has
determined, based on current information and events, that: (i) it is probable it
will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of
the agreement, (ii) the tenant, operator, or borrower is delinquent on making
payments under the contractual terms of the agreement, and (iii) the Company has
commenced action or anticipates pursuing action in the near term to seek
recovery of its investment.
Finance receivables are placed on nonaccrual status when management determines
that the collectibility of contractual amounts is not reasonably assured (the
asset will have an internal rating of either Watch List or Workout). Further,
the Company performs a credit analysis to support the tenant's, operator's,
borrower's, and/or guarantor's repayment capacity and the underlying collateral
values. The Company uses the cash basis method of accounting for finance
receivables placed on nonaccrual status unless one of the following conditions
exist whereby it utilizes the cost recovery method of accounting if: (i) the
Company determines that it is probable that it will only recover the recorded
investment in the finance receivable, net of associated allowances or
charge-offs (if any), or (ii) the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount
of an impaired finance receivable. For cash basis method of accounting, the
Company applies payments received, excluding principal paydowns, to interest
income so long as that amount does not exceed the amount that would have been
earned under the original contractual terms. For cost recovery method of
accounting, any payment received is applied to reduce the recorded investment.
Generally, the Company returns a finance receivable to accrual status when all
delinquent payments become current under the terms of the loan or lease
agreements and collectibility of the remaining contractual loan or lease
payments is reasonably assured.
Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13") on January 1, 2020, allowances were
established for finance receivables on an individual basis utilizing an estimate
of probable losses, if they were determined to be impaired. Finance receivables
were impaired when it was deemed probable that the Company would be unable to
collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the finance
receivable. An allowance was based upon the Company's assessment of the
borrower's overall financial condition, economic resources, payment record, the
prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors and, if
appropriate, the net realizable value of any collateral. These estimates
considered all available evidence, including the expected future cash flows
discounted at the finance receivable's effective interest rate, fair value of
collateral, general economic conditions and trends, historical and industry loss
experience, and other relevant factors, as appropriate. If a finance receivable
was deemed partially or wholly uncollectible, the uncollectible balance was
charged off against the allowance in the period in which the uncollectible
determination was made.
Subsequent to adopting ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, the Company began using a
loss model that relies on future expected credit losses, rather than incurred
losses, as was required under historical U.S. GAAP. Under the new model, the
Company is required to recognize future credit losses expected to be incurred
over the life of a finance receivable at inception of that instrument. The model
emphasizes historical experience and future market expectations to determine a
loss to be recognized at inception. However, the model continues to be applied
on an individual basis and to rely on counter-party specific information to
ensure the most accurate estimate is recognized.
Real Estate
The Company's real estate acquisitions are generally classified as asset
acquisitions for which the Company records identifiable assets acquired,
liabilities assumed, and any associated noncontrolling interests at cost on a
relative fair value basis. In addition, for such asset acquisitions, no goodwill
is recognized, third party transaction costs are capitalized and any associated
contingent consideration is generally recorded when the amount of consideration
is reasonably estimable and probable of being paid.
The Company assesses fair value based on available market information, such as
capitalization and discount rates, comparable sale transactions, and relevant
per square foot or unit cost information. A real estate asset's fair value may
be determined utilizing cash flow projections that incorporate such market
information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors
including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, as well as
market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired
property is based on the value of the property as if it is vacant.
                                       85
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
The Company recognizes acquired "above and below market" leases at their
relative fair value (for asset acquisitions) using discount rates which reflect
the risks associated with the leases acquired. The fair value is based on the
present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts paid
pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management's estimate of fair market
lease rates for each in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the
remaining term of the lease for above market leases and the initial term plus
the extended term for any leases with renewal options that are reasonably
certain to be exercised. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for
in-place lease values that are based on an evaluation of the specific
characteristics of each property and the acquired tenant lease(s). Factors
considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected
lease-up periods, market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In
estimating carrying costs, the Company includes estimates of lost rents at
market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, which are
dependent on local market conditions and expected trends. In estimating costs to
execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions, legal, and
other related costs.
Certain of the Company's acquisitions involve the assumption of contract
liabilities. The Company typically estimates the fair value of contract
liabilities by applying a reasonable profit margin to the total discounted
estimated future costs associated with servicing the contract. A variety of
market and contract-specific conditions are considered when making assumptions
that impact the estimated fair value of the contract liability.
The Company capitalizes direct construction and development costs, including
predevelopment costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs
directly related and essential to the development or construction of a real
estate asset. The Company capitalizes construction and development costs while
substantive activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. The
Company considers a construction project as substantially complete and held
available for occupancy upon the completion of Company-owned tenant
improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of significant
construction activity. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete
and ready for its intended use, or after development activities have ceased, are
expensed as incurred. For redevelopment of existing operating properties, the
Company capitalizes the cost for the construction and improvement incurred in
connection with the redevelopment.
Costs previously capitalized related to abandoned developments/redevelopments
are charged to earnings. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed
as incurred. The Company considers costs incurred in conjunction with re-leasing
properties, including tenant improvements and lease commissions, to represent
the acquisition of productive assets and such costs are reflected as investing
activities in the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows.
The Company computes depreciation on properties using the straight-line method
over the assets' estimated useful lives. Depreciation is discontinued when a
property is identified as held for sale. Buildings and improvements are
depreciated over useful lives ranging up to 60 years. Above and below market
lease intangibles are amortized to revenue over the remaining noncancellable
lease terms and renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised, if
any. In-place lease intangibles are amortized to expense over the remaining
noncancellable lease term and renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be
exercised, if any.
Concurrent with the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, the
Company elected to recognize expense associated with short-term leases (those
with a noncancellable lease term of 12 months or less) under which the Company
is the lessee on a straight-line basis and not recognize those leases on its
consolidated balance sheets.
For leases other than short-term operating leases under which the Company is the
lessee, such as ground leases and corporate office leases, the Company
recognizes a right-of-use asset and related lease liability on its consolidated
balance sheet at inception of the lease. The lease liability is calculated as
the sum of: (i) the present value of minimum lease payments at lease
commencement (discounted using the Company's secured incremental borrowing rate)
and (ii) the present value of amounts probable of being paid under any residual
value guarantees. The right-of-use asset is calculated as the lease liability,
adjusted for the following: (i) any lease payments made to the lessor at or
before the commencement date, minus any lease incentives received and (ii) any
initial direct costs incurred by the Company.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
The Company assesses the carrying value of real estate assets and related
intangibles ("real estate assets") when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company tests its
real estate assets for impairment by comparing the sum of the expected future
undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the real estate assets. The
expected future undiscounted cash flows reflect external market factors and are
probability-weighted to reflect multiple possible cash-flow scenarios, including
selling the assets at various points in the future. Further, the analysis
considers the impact, if any, of master lease agreements on cash flows, which
are calculated utilizing the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are
largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If the
carrying value exceeds the expected future undiscounted cash flows, an
impairment loss will be recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the
real estate assets exceeds their fair value.
                                       86
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
Determining the fair value of real estate assets, including assets classified as
held-for-sale, involves significant judgment and generally utilizes market
capitalization rates, comparable market transactions, estimated per unit or per
square foot prices, negotiations with prospective buyers, and forecasted cash
flows (lease revenue rates, expense rates, growth rates, etc.).
When testing goodwill for impairment, if the Company concludes that it is more
likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its
carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by
which the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit's fair
value.
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
The Company classifies a real estate property as held for sale when: (i)
management has approved the disposal, (ii) the property is available for sale in
its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer has been
initiated, (iv) it is probable that the property will be disposed of within one
year, (v) the property is being marketed at a reasonable price relative to its
fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that the disposal plan will significantly
change or be withdrawn. If a real estate property is classified as held for
sale, it is reported at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs
to sell and no longer depreciated.
The Company classifies a loan receivable as held for sale when management no
longer has the intent and ability to hold the loan receivable for the
foreseeable future or until maturity. If a loan receivable is classified as held
for sale, it is reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.
A discontinued operation represents: (i) a component of the Company or group of
components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale in a
single transaction and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a
major effect on the Company's operations and financial results or (ii) an
acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the date of
acquisition. Examples of a strategic shift may include disposing of: (i) a
separate major line of business, (ii) a separate major geographic area of
operations, or (iii) other major parts of the Company.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Investments in entities the Company does not consolidate, but over which the
Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and
financial policies, are reported under the equity method of accounting. Under
the equity method of accounting, the Company's share of the investee's earnings
or losses is included in equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures
within the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
The initial carrying value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is
based on the amount paid to purchase the joint venture interest, the fair value
of assets contributed to the joint venture, or the fair value of the assets
prior to the sale of interests in the joint venture. To the extent that the
Company's cost basis is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture
level, the basis difference is generally amortized over the lives of the related
assets and liabilities, and such amortization is included in the Company's share
of equity in earnings of the joint venture. The Company evaluates its equity
method investments for impairment based on a comparison of the fair value of the
equity method investment to its carrying value. When the Company determines a
decline in fair value below carrying value of an investment in an unconsolidated
joint venture is other-than-temporary, an impairment is recorded. The Company
recognizes gains on the sale of interests in joint ventures to the extent the
economic substance of the transaction is a sale.
The Company's fair values of its equity method investments are determined based
on discounted cash flow models that include all estimated cash inflows and
outflows over a specified holding period and, where applicable, any estimated
debt premiums or discounts. Capitalization rates, discount rates, and credit
spreads utilized in these valuation models are based on assumptions that the
Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the
respective investments.
Share-Based Compensation
Compensation expense for share-based awards granted to employees with graded
vesting schedules is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the
vesting period. Forfeitures of share-based awards are recognized as they occur.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and short-term investments
with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Restricted cash
primarily consists of amounts held by mortgage lenders to provide for: (i) real
estate tax expenditures, (ii) tenant improvements, and (iii) capital
expenditures, as well as security deposits and net proceeds from property sales
that were executed as tax-deferred dispositions.

Derivatives and Hedging
During its normal course of business, the Company uses certain types of
derivative instruments for the purpose of managing interest rate and foreign
currency risk. To qualify for hedge accounting, derivative instruments used for
risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk exposure that they are
designed to hedge. In addition, at inception of a qualifying cash flow hedging
relationship, the underlying transaction or transactions, must be, and are
expected to remain, probable of occurring in accordance with the Company's
related assertions.
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments, including embedded
derivatives that are required to be bifurcated, as assets or liabilities to the
consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivative
instruments that are not designated in hedging relationships or that do not meet
the criteria of hedge accounting are recognized in earnings. For derivative
instruments designated in qualifying cash flow hedging relationships, changes in
fair value related to the effective portion of the derivative instruments are
recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), whereas changes in
fair value of the ineffective portion are recognized in earnings.
If it is determined that a derivative instrument ceases to be highly effective
as a hedge, or that it is probable the underlying forecasted transaction will
not occur, the Company discontinues its cash flow hedge accounting prospectively
and records the appropriate adjustment to earnings based on the current fair
value of the derivative instrument. For net investment hedge accounting, upon
sale or liquidation of the hedged investment, the cumulative balance of the
remeasurement value is reclassified to earnings.
Income Taxes
Healthpeak Properties, Inc. has elected REIT status and believes it has always
operated so as to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, Healthpeak
Properties, Inc. will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax,
provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and makes distributions to
stockholders equal to or in excess of its taxable income. In addition, the
Company has formed several consolidated subsidiaries that have elected REIT
status. Healthpeak Properties, Inc. and its consolidated REIT subsidiaries are
each subject to the REIT qualification requirements under the Code. If any REIT
fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal
income taxes at regular corporate rates and may be ineligible to qualify as a
REIT for four subsequent tax years.
Healthpeak Properties, Inc. and its consolidated REIT subsidiaries are subject
to state, local, and/or foreign income taxes in some jurisdictions. In certain
circumstances each REIT may also be subject to federal excise taxes on
undistributed income. In addition, certain activities that the Company
undertakes may be conducted by entities that have elected to be treated as
taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"). TRSs are subject to federal, state, and
local income taxes. The Company recognizes tax penalties relating to
unrecognized tax benefits as additional income tax expense. Interest relating to
unrecognized tax benefits is recognized as interest expense.
The Company is required to evaluate its deferred tax assets for realizability
and recognize a valuation allowance, which is recorded against its deferred tax
assets, if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The Company considers all available evidence in its determination of
whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is required.
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported within operating
expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, total
advertising expense was $18 million, $13 million, and $9 million, respectively
($12 million, $13 million, and $9 million, respectively, of which is reported in
income (loss) from discontinued operations).
Capital Raising Issuance Costs
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of common shares are recorded as
a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Debt issuance costs related to debt
instruments, excluding line of credit arrangements and commercial paper, are
deferred, recorded as a reduction of the related debt liability, and amortized
to interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt liability
utilizing the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs related to line of
credit arrangements and commercial paper are deferred, included in other assets,
and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining
term of the related line of credit arrangement. Commercial paper are unsecured
short-term debt securities with varying maturities. A line of credit serves as a
liquidity backstop for repayment of commercial paper borrowings.
Penalties incurred to extinguish debt and any remaining unamortized debt
issuance costs, discounts, and premiums are recognized as income or expense in
the consolidated statements of operations at the time of extinguishment.

Segment Reporting
The Company's reportable segments, based on how it evaluates its business and
allocates resources, are as follows: (i) life science, (ii) medical office, and
(iii) CCRC.
In conjunction with establishing and beginning execution of a plan to dispose of
the Company's senior housing triple-net and SHOP portfolios during 2020, both of
these previously reportable segments are now classified as discontinued
operations in all periods presented herein. See Notes 1 and 5 for further
information.
In December 2020, as a result of a change in how operating results are reported
to the Company's chief operating decision makers ("CODMs") for the purpose of
evaluating performance and allocating resources, the Company's hospitals were
reclassified from other non-reportable segments to the medical office segment
and the Company's one remaining unconsolidated investment in a senior housing
joint venture was reclassified from the SHOP segment to other non-reportable
segments.
Additionally, in January 2020, primarily as a result of: (i) consolidating 13 of
15 CCRCs previously held by a CCRC joint venture (see discussion of the
Brookdale 2019 Master Transaction and Cooperation Agreement in Note 3) and (ii)
deconsolidating 19 SHOP assets into a new joint venture in December 2019, the
Company's CODMs began reviewing operating results of CCRCs on a stand-alone
basis and financial information for each respective segment inclusive of the
Company's share of unconsolidated joint ventures and exclusive of noncontrolling
interests' share of consolidated joint ventures. Therefore, during the first
quarter of 2020, the Company began reporting CCRCs as a separate segment and
segment measures inclusive of the Company's share of unconsolidated joint
ventures and exclusive of noncontrolling interests' share of consolidated joint
ventures.
All prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current
period presentation.
Noncontrolling Interests
Arrangements with noncontrolling interest holders are assessed for appropriate
balance sheet classification based on the redemption and other rights held by
the noncontrolling interest holder. Net income (loss) attributable to a
noncontrolling interest is included in net income (loss) on the consolidated
statements of operations and, upon a gain or loss of control, the interest
purchased or sold, and any interest retained, is recorded at fair value with any
gain or loss recognized in earnings. The Company accounts for purchases or sales
of equity interests that do not result in a change in control as equity
transactions.
The Company consolidates non-managing member limited liability companies
("DownREITs") because it exercises control, and the noncontrolling interests in
these entities are carried at cost. The non-managing member limited liability
company ("LLC") units ("DownREIT units") are exchangeable for an amount of cash
approximating the then-current market value of shares of the Company's common
stock or, at the Company's option, shares of the Company's common stock (subject
to certain adjustments, such as stock splits and reclassifications). Upon
exchange of DownREIT units for the Company's common stock, the carrying amount
of the DownREIT units is reclassified to stockholders' equity.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are translated
into U.S. dollars use exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and
revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies that are translated into
U.S. dollars use average rates of exchange in effect during the related period.
Gains or losses resulting from translation are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The effects of transaction gains or
losses are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated
statements of operations.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures and discloses the fair value of nonfinancial and financial
assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on
whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable
or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained
from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market
assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when
available. These inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
•Level 1-quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
•Level 2-quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices
for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value
drivers are observable in active markets; and
                                       89
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
•Level 3-fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one
or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The Company measures fair value using a set of standardized procedures that are
outlined herein for all assets and liabilities that are required to be measured
at fair value. When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices to
determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. In instances where a
market price is available, but the instrument is in an inactive or
over-the-counter market, the Company consistently applies the dealer (market
maker) pricing estimate and classifies the asset or liability in Level 2.
If quoted market prices or inputs are not available, fair value measurements are
based on valuation models that utilize current market or independently sourced
market inputs, such as interest rates, option volatilities, credit spreads,
and/or market capitalization rates. Items valued using such internally-generated
valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement. As a result, the asset or liability
could be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 even though there may be some
significant inputs that are readily observable. Internal fair value models and
techniques used by the Company include discounted cash flow models. The Company
also considers its counterparty's and own credit risk for derivative instruments
and other liabilities measured at fair value. The Company has elected the
mid-market pricing expedient when determining fair value.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period. The Company accounts for unvested
share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable dividend rights or
dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities, which
are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class
method. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by including the effect
of dilutive securities, such as the impact of forward equity sales agreements
using the treasury stock method and common shares issuable from the assumed
conversion of DownREIT units, stock options, certain performance restricted
stock units, and unvested restricted stock units.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
Revenue Recognition. Between May 2014 and February 2017, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued four ASUs changing the requirements
for recognizing and reporting revenue (together, herein referred to as the
"Revenue ASUs"): (i) ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
("ASU 2014-09"), (ii) ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations
(Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) ("ASU 2016-08"), (iii) ASU No. 2016-12,
Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ("ASU 2016-12"), and (iv) ASU
No. 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting
for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets ("ASU 2017-05"). ASU 2014-09 provides
guidance for revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or
services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU
2016-08 is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the
implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU 2016-12
provides practical expedients and improvements on the previously narrow scope of
ASU 2014-09. ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope of the FASB's guidance on
nonfinancial asset derecognition and aligns the accounting for partial sales of
nonfinancial assets and in-substance nonfinancial assets with the guidance in
ASU 2014-09. The Company adopted the Revenue ASUs effective January 1, 2018 and
utilized a modified retrospective adoption approach, resulting in a
cumulative-effect adjustment to equity of $79 million as of January 1, 2018.
Under the Revenue ASUs, the Company also elected to utilize a practical
expedient which allowed the Company to only reassess contracts that were not
completed as of the adoption date, rather than all historical contracts.
                                       90
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
As the timing and recognition of the majority of the Company's revenue is the
same whether accounted for under the Revenue ASUs or lease accounting guidance
(see discussion below), the impact of the Revenue ASUs, upon and subsequent to
adoption, is generally limited to the following:
•Prior to the adoption of the Revenue ASUs, the Company recognized a gain on
sale of real estate using the full accrual method when collectibility of the
sales price was reasonably assured, the Company was not obligated to perform
additional activities that may be considered significant, the initial investment
from the buyer was sufficient, and other profit recognition criteria had been
satisfied. The Company deferred all or a portion of a gain on sale of real
estate if the requirements for gain recognition were not met at the time of
sale. Subsequent to adopting the Revenue ASUs on January 1, 2018, the Company
began recognizing a gain on sale of real estate upon transferring control of the
asset to the purchaser, which is generally satisfied at the time of sale. In
conjunction with its adoption of the Revenue ASUs, the Company reassessed its
historical partial sale of real estate transactions to determine which
transactions, if any, were not completed contracts (i.e., the transaction did
not qualify for sale treatment under previous guidance). The Company concluded
that it had one such material transaction, its partial sale of RIDEA II in the
first quarter of 2017 (which was not a completed sale under historical guidance
as of the Company's adoption date due to a minor obligation related to the
interest sold). In accordance with the Revenue ASUs, the Company recorded its
retained 40% equity investment at fair value as of the sale date. As a result,
the Company recorded an adjustment to equity as of January 1, 2018 (under the
modified retrospective transition approach) representing a step-up in the fair
value of its equity investment in RIDEA II of $107 million (to a carrying value
of $121 million as of January 1, 2018) and a $30 million impairment charge to
decrease the carrying value to the sales price of the investment (see Note 5).
The Company completed the sale of its equity investment in June 2018 and no
longer holds an economic interest in RIDEA II.
•The Company generally expects that the Revenue ASUs will result in certain
transactions qualifying as sales of real estate at an earlier date than under
historical accounting guidance.
Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASU
2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 (codified under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")
842, Leases) amends the previous accounting for leases to: (i) require lessees
to put most leases on their balance sheets (not required for short-term leases
with lease terms of 12 months or less), but continue recognizing expenses on
their income statements in a manner similar to requirements under prior
accounting guidance, (ii) eliminate real estate specific lease provisions, and
(iii) modify the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type leases
for lessors. Additionally, ASU 2016-02 provides a practical expedient, which the
Company elected, that allows an entity to not reassess the following upon
adoption (must be elected as a group): (i) whether an expired or existing
contract contains a lease arrangement, (ii) lease classification related to
expired or existing lease arrangements, or (iii) whether costs incurred on
expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs.
As a result of adopting ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 using the modified
retrospective transition approach, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect
adjustment to equity of $1 million as of January 1, 2019. Under ASU 2016-02, the
Company began capitalizing fewer costs related to the drafting and negotiation
of its lease agreements. Additionally, the Company began recognizing all of its
significant operating leases for which it is the lessee, including corporate
office leases, equipment leases, and ground leases, on its consolidated balance
sheets as a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. As such, the
Company recognized a lease liability of $153 million and right-of-use asset of
$166 million on January 1, 2019. The aggregate lease liability was calculated as
the present value of minimum lease payments, discounted using a rate that
approximated the Company's secured incremental borrowing rate at the time of
adoption, adjusted for the noncancelable term of each lease. The right-of-use
asset was calculated as the aggregate lease liability, adjusted for the existing
accrued straight-line rent liability balance of $20 million and net unamortized
above/below market ground lease intangible assets of $33 million.
Under ASU 2016-02, a practical expedient was offered to lessees to make a policy
election, which the Company elected, to not separate lease and nonlease
components, but rather account for the combined components as a single lease
component under ASC 842. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases -
Targeted Improvements ("ASU 2018-11"), which provides lessors with a similar
option to elect a practical expedient allowing them to not separate lease and
nonlease components in a contract for the purpose of revenue recognition and
disclosure. This practical expedient is limited to circumstances in which: (i)
the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the nonlease component and
the related lease component and (ii) the lease component, if accounted for
separately, would be classified as an operating lease. This practical expedient
causes an entity to assess whether a contract is predominantly lease or service
based and recognize the entire contract under the relevant accounting guidance
(i.e., predominantly lease-based would be accounted for under ASU 2016-02 and
predominantly service-based would be accounted for under the Revenue ASUs). The
Company elected this practical expedient as well and, as a result, beginning
January 1, 2019, the Company recognizes revenue from its senior housing
triple-net, medical office, and life science properties under ASC 842 and
revenue from its SHOP and CCRC properties under the Revenue ASUs (codified under
ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers).

In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow Scope Improvements for
Lessors ("ASU 2018-20"), which requires that a lessor: (i) exclude certain
lessor costs paid directly by a lessee to third parties on behalf of the lessor
from a lessor's measurement of variable lease revenue and associated expense
(i.e., no gross up of revenue and expense for these costs,) and (ii) include
lessor costs that are paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessee in the
measurement of variable lease revenue and the associated expense (i.e., gross up
revenue and expense for these costs). This is consistent with the Company's
historical presentation and did not require a change on January 1, 2019.
Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 is intended
to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recognition of credit
losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions
and other organizations. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the "probable"
initial threshold for recognition of credit losses in previous accounting
guidance and, instead, reflect an entity's current estimate of all expected
credit losses over the life of the financial instrument. Historically, when
credit losses were measured under previous accounting guidance, an entity
generally only considered past events and current conditions in measuring the
incurred loss. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 broaden the information that an
entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets
measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information
incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss.
As a result of adopting ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified
retrospective transition approach, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect
adjustment to equity of $2 million as of January 1, 2020. Under ASU 2016-13, the
Company began using a loss model that relies on future expected credit losses,
rather than incurred losses, as was required under historical GAAP. Under the
new model, the Company is required to recognize future credit losses expected to
be incurred over the life of its finance receivables, including loans
receivable, direct financing leases ("DFLs"), and certain accounts receivable,
at inception of those instruments. The model emphasizes historical experience
and future market expectations to determine a loss to be recognized at
inception. However, the model continues to be applied on an individual basis and
rely on counter-party specific information to ensure the most accurate estimate
is recognized. The Company will reassess its reserves on finance receivables at
each balance sheet date to determine if an adjustment to the previous reserve is
necessary.
Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to COVID-19. In April 2020, the FASB
staff issued a question-and-answer document (the "Lease Modification Q&A")
focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions
provided as a result of COVID-19. Under ASC 842, the Company would have to
determine, on a lease-by-lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a
new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification
accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights
and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the
lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows the
Company, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease-by-lease
analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting
framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar
characteristics and similar circumstances. During the year ended December 31,
2020, the Company provided rent deferrals (to be repaid before the end of 2020)
to certain tenants in its life science and medical office segments that were
impacted by COVID-19 (discussed in further detail in Note 7). As it relates to
these deferrals, the Company elected to not assess them on a lease-by-lease
basis and to continue recognizing rent revenue on a straight-line basis.
While the Company's election for rent deferrals will be applied consistently to
future deferrals of a similar nature, if the Company grants future lease
concessions of a different type (such as rent abatements), it will make an
election related to those concessions at that time.
NOTE 3.  Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement with Brookdale


2019 Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement with Brookdale
In October 2019, the Company and Brookdale Senior Living Inc. ("Brookdale")
entered into a Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement (the "2019 MTCA"),
which includes a series of transactions related to its previously jointly owned
15-campus CCRC portfolio (the "CCRC JV") and the portfolio of senior housing
properties Brookdale triple-net leased from the Company, which, at the time,
included 43 properties.
In connection with the 2019 MTCA, the Company and Brookdale, and certain of
their respective subsidiaries, closed the following transactions related to the
CCRC JV on January 31, 2020:
•The Company, which owned a 49% interest in the CCRC JV, purchased Brookdale's
51% interest in 13 of the 15 communities in the CCRC JV based on a valuation of
$1.06 billion (the "CCRC Acquisition");
•The management agreements related to the CCRC Acquisition communities were
terminated and management transitioned (under new management agreements) from
Brookdale to Life Care Services LLC ("LCS"); and
•The Company paid a $100 million management termination fee to Brookdale.
                                       92
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
In addition, pursuant to the 2019 MTCA, the Company and Brookdale closed the
following transactions related to properties Brookdale triple-net leased from
the Company on January 31, 2020:
•Brookdale acquired 18 of the properties from the Company (the "Brookdale
Acquisition Assets") for cash proceeds of $385 million;
•The remaining 24 properties (excludes one property to be transitioned or sold
to a third party, as discussed below) were restructured into a single master
lease with 2.4% annual rent escalators and a maturity date of December 31, 2027
(the "2019 Amended Master Lease");
•A portion of annual rent (amount in excess of 6.5% of sales proceeds) related
to 14 of the 18 Brookdale Acquisition Assets was reallocated to the remaining
properties under the 2019 Amended Master Lease; and
•Brookdale paid down $20 million of future rent under the 2019 Amended Master
Lease.
As agreed to by the Company and Brookdale under the 2019 MTCA, in December 2020,
the Company terminated the triple-net lease related to one property and
converted it to a RIDEA structure. The 24 assets under the 2019 Amended Master
Lease were sold in January 2021 (see Note 5).
Additionally, under the 2019 MTCA, the Company and Brookdale agreed to the
following transactions which have not yet been completed:
•The CCRC JV will sell the remaining two CCRCs, which are being marketed for
sale to third parties;
•The Company will provide up to $35 million of capital investment in the 2019
Amended Master Lease properties over a five-year term, which will increase rent
by 7% of the amount spent, per annum. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had
funded $5 million of this capital investment. Upon selling the 24 assets under
the 2019 Amended Master Lease in January 2021, the remaining capital investment
obligation was transferred to the buyer.
As a result of the above transactions, on January 31, 2020, the Company began
consolidating the 13 CCRCs in which it acquired Brookdale's interest.
Accordingly, the Company derecognized its investment in the CCRC JV of $323
million and recognized a gain upon change of control of $170 million, which is
included in other income (expense), net. In connection with consolidating the 13
CCRCs during the first quarter of 2020, the Company recognized real estate and
intangible assets of $1.8 billion, refundable entrance fee liabilities of $308
million, contractual liabilities associated with previously collected
non-refundable entrance fees of $436 million, debt assumed of $215 million,
other net assets of $48 million, and cash paid of $396 million.
Upon sale of the 18 senior housing triple-net assets to Brookdale, the Company
recognized an aggregate gain on sales of real estate of $164 million, which is
recorded within income (loss) from discontinued operations.
Fair Value Measurement Techniques and Quantitative Information
At January 31, 2020, the Company performed a fair value assessment of each of
the 2019 MTCA components that provided measurable economic benefit or detriment
to the Company. Each fair value calculation was based on an income or market
approach and relied on historical and forecasted net operating income, actuarial
assumptions about the expected resident length of stay, and market data,
including, but not limited to, discount rates ranging from 10% to 12%, annual
rent escalators ranging from 2% to 3%, and real estate capitalization rates
ranging from 7% to 9%. All assumptions were considered to be Level 3
measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
2017 MTCA with Brookdale
In November 2017, the Company and Brookdale entered into a Master Transactions
and Cooperation Agreement (the "2017 MTCA") to provide the Company with the
ability to significantly reduce its concentration of assets leased to and/or
managed by Brookdale. In connection with the overall transaction pursuant to the
2017 MTCA, the Company and Brookdale, and certain of their respective
subsidiaries, agreed to the following:
•The Company, which owned 90% of the interests in its RIDEA I and RIDEA III
joint ventures with Brookdale at the time the 2017 MTCA was executed, agreed to
purchase Brookdale's 10% noncontrolling interest in each joint venture. At the
time the 2017 MTCA was executed, these joint ventures collectively owned and
operated 58 independent living, assisted living, memory care, and/or skilled
nursing facilities (the "RIDEA Facilities"). The Company completed its
acquisitions of the RIDEA III noncontrolling interest for $32 million in
December 2017 and the RIDEA I noncontrolling interest for $63 million in March
2018;
•The Company received the right to sell, or transition to other operators, 32 of
the 78 total assets under an Amended and Restated Master Lease and Security
Agreement (the "2017 Amended Master Lease") with Brookdale and 36 of the RIDEA
Facilities (and terminate related management agreements with an affiliate of
Brookdale without penalty), certain of which were sold during 2018 and 2019;
                                       93
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
•The Company provided an aggregate $5 million annual reduction in rent
on three assets, effective January 1, 2018; and
•Brookdale agreed to purchase two of the assets under the 2017 Amended Master
Lease for $35 million and four of the RIDEA Facilities for $240 million, all of
which were sold in 2018.
During 2018, the Company terminated the previous management agreements or leases
with Brookdale on 37 assets contemplated under the 2017 MTCA and completed the
transition of 20 SHOP assets and 17 senior housing triple-net assets to other
managers.

RIDEA II Sale Transaction
In January 2017, the Company completed the contribution of its ownership
interest in RIDEA II to an unconsolidated joint venture owned by Healthpeak and
an investor group led by Columbia Pacific Advisors, LLC ("CPA") (the
"Healthpeak/CPA JV"). Also in January 2017, RIDEA II was recapitalized with $602
million of debt, of which $360 million was provided by a third-party and $242
million was provided by the Company. In return for both transaction elements,
the Company received combined proceeds of $480 million from the Healthpeak/CPA
JV and $242 million in loans receivable and retained an approximately 40%
ownership interest in RIDEA II. This transaction resulted in the Company
deconsolidating the net assets of RIDEA II and recognizing a net gain on sale
of $99 million. Refer to Note 2 for the impact of adopting the Revenue ASUs on
January 1, 2018 to the Company's partial sale of RIDEA II in the first quarter
of 2017.
In June 2018, the Company sold its remaining 40% ownership interest in RIDEA II
to an investor group led by CPA for $91 million. Additionally, CPA refinanced
the Company's $242 million of loans receivable from RIDEA II, resulting in total
proceeds of $332 million. The Company no longer holds an economic interest in
RIDEA II.
U.K. Portfolio
In June 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture with an institutional
investor (the "U.K. JV") through which the Company sold a 51% interest in
substantially all United Kingdom ("U.K.") assets previously owned by the Company
(the "U.K. Portfolio") based on a total value of £382 million ($507 million).
The Company retained a 49% noncontrolling interest in the U.K. JV and received
gross proceeds of $402 million, including proceeds from the refinancing of the
Company's previously held intercompany loans. Upon closing the U.K. JV, the
Company deconsolidated the U.K. Portfolio, recognized its retained
noncontrolling interest investment at fair value ($105 million) and recognized a
gain on sale of $11 million, net of $17 million of cumulative foreign currency
translation reclassified from other comprehensive income recorded in gain (loss)
on sales of real estate, net (see Note 22 for the reclassification impact of the
Company's hedge of its net investment in the U.K.). The U.K. JV provides
numerous mechanisms by which the joint venture partner can acquire the Company's
remaining interest in the U.K. JV. The fair value of the Company's retained
noncontrolling interest investment was based on Level 2 measurements within the
fair value hierarchy. Additionally, in August 2018, the Company sold its
remaining £11 million U.K. development loan at par. In December 2019, the
Company sold its remaining 49% interest in the U.K. JV (see Note 9).
2018 Other Dispositions
Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company sold the
following: (i) 4 life science assets for $269 million, (ii) 1 undeveloped land
parcel for $3 million, (iii) 2 senior housing triple-net assets for $35 million,
(iv) 23 SHOP facilities for $394 million, and (v) 4 MOBs for $25 million,
resulting in total gain on sales of $141 million ($55 million of which is
reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations).
Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
At December 31, 2020, 41 senior housing triple-net facilities, 6 MOBs, 97 SHOP
facilities, and 1 SHOP joint venture were classified as held for sale and/or
discontinued operations.
At December 31, 2019, 90 senior housing triple-net facilities (inclusive of 18
facilities sold to Brookdale under the 2019 MTCA - see Note 3), 115 SHOP
facilities, 2 MOBs, and 4 SHOP joint ventures were classified as held for sale
and/or discontinued operations.
During 2020, the Company established and began executing a plan to dispose of
all the assets in its senior housing triple-net and SHOP portfolios. The held
for sale criteria for all such assets were met either on or before December 31,
2020 and the Company concluded the dispositions met the requirements to be
classified as discontinued operations.

NOTE 6.  Impairments


Real Estate
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an aggregate
impairment charge of $210 million ($201 million of which is reported in income
(loss) from discontinued operations) related to 42 SHOP assets, 5 senior housing
triple-net assets, 5 MOBs, and 1 undeveloped MOB land parcel as a result of
being classified as held for sale and wrote down their aggregate carrying value
of $960 million to their aggregate fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of
$750 million. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company
recognized an impairment charge of $15 million related to one life science
facility that it intends to demolish for a future development project.
The fair value of the impaired assets was based on forecasted sales prices,
which are considered to be Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
Forecasted sales prices were determined using an income approach and/or a market
approach (comparable sales model), which rely on certain assumptions by
management, including: (i) market capitalization rates, (ii) comparable market
transactions, (iii) estimated prices per unit, (iv) negotiations with
prospective buyers, and (v) forecasted cash flow streams (lease revenue rates,
expense rates, growth rates, etc.). There are inherent uncertainties in making
these assumptions. For the Company's impairment calculations during and as of
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company's fair value estimates primarily
relied on a market approach and utilized prices per unit ranging from $13,000 to
$300,000, with a weighted average price per unit of $164,000. When utilizing the
income approach, assumptions include, but are not limited to, terminal
capitalization rates ranging from 5.5% to 7.5% and discount rates ranging from
8.0% to 9.5%.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized an aggregate
impairment charge of $194 million ($189 million of which is reported in income
(loss) from discontinued operations) related to 8 senior housing triple-net
assets, 27 SHOP assets, 3 MOBs, and 1 other non-reportable asset as a result of
being classified as held for sale and wrote down their aggregate carrying value
of $416 million to their aggregate fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of
$223 million. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company also
recognized an impairment charge of $4 million related to one MOB that it intends
to demolish for a future development project.
                                       99
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
The fair value of the impaired assets was based on forecasted sales prices,
which are considered to be Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
For the Company's impairment calculations during and as of the year ended
December 31, 2019, the Company estimated the fair value of each asset using
either (i) market capitalization rates ranging from 4.97% to 8.27%, with a
weighted average rate of 6.22% or (ii) prices per unit ranging from $24,000 to
$125,000, with a weighted average price of $73,000.
Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company determined
the carrying value of two MOBs and one SHOP asset that were candidates for
potential future sale were no longer recoverable due to the Company's shortened
intended hold period under the held-for-use impairment model. Accordingly, the
Company wrote-down the carrying amount of these three assets to their respective
fair value, which resulted in an aggregate impairment charge of $18 million
($9 million of which is reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations).
The fair value of the assets are considered to be Level 2 measurements within
the fair value hierarchy.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, in conjunction with classifying the
assets as held for sale, the Company determined that 17 underperforming SHOP
assets and one undeveloped life science land parcel were impaired. Additionally,
the Company determined that three additional underperforming SHOP assets that
were candidates for potential future sale were impaired under the held-for-use
impairment model. Accordingly, the Company recognized total impairment charges
of $52 million ($44 million of which is reported in income (loss) from
discontinued operations), during the year ended December 31, 2018 to write-down
the carrying value of the assets to their respective fair values (less estimated
costs to sell for assets classified as held for sale). The fair value of the
assets was based on contracted or forecasted sales prices and expected future
cash flows, which are considered to be Level 2 measurements within the fair
value hierarchy.
Casualty-Related
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized a $5 million
casualty-related gain, net of deferred tax impacts, as a result of insurance
proceeds received for property damage and other associated costs related to
hurricanes in 2017. Of the total $5 million, $2 million is recorded in other
income (expense), net, and $3 million is recorded in income (loss) from
discontinued operations.

a DFL portfolio to its fair value. See Note 8 for information related to the
Company's reserve for loan losses. See Note 9 for information on the impairment
charge related to an asset classified as held-for-sale within the CCRC JV.

2020 Direct Financing Lease Sale
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company sold a hospital under a DFL for
$82 million and recognized a gain on sale of $42 million, which is included in
other income (expense), net.
2019 Direct Financing Lease Conversion
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company converted a DFL portfolio of 14
senior housing triple-net properties, previously on "Watch List" status, to a
RIDEA structure, requiring the Company to recognize net assets equal to the
lower of the net assets' fair value or the carrying value of the net investment
in the DFL. As a result, the Company derecognized the $351 million carrying
value of the net investment in DFL related to the 14 properties and recognized a
combination of net real estate ($331 million) and net intangibles assets ($20
million) for the same aggregate amount, with no gain or loss recognized. As a
result of the transaction, the 14 properties were transferred from the senior
housing triple-net segment to the SHOP segment during the first quarter of 2019.
2019 Direct Financing Lease Sale
During the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into agreements to sell
13 senior housing facilities under DFLs (the "DFL Sale Portfolio") for $274
million. Upon entering into the agreements, the Company recognized an allowance
for DFL losses and related impairment charge of $10 million (recognized in
income (loss) from discontinued operations) to write-down the carrying value of
the DFL Sale Portfolio to its fair value. The fair value of the DFL Sale
Portfolio was based upon the agreed upon sale price, less estimated costs to
sell, which was considered to be a Level 2 measurement within the fair value
hierarchy. In conjunction with the entering into agreements to sell the DFL Sale
Portfolio, the Company placed the portfolio on nonaccrual status and began
recognizing income equal to the amount of cash received.
The Company completed the sale of the DFL Sale Portfolio in September 2019.
For the DFL Sale Portfolio, during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,
income from DFLs was $17 million and $24 million (recognized in income (loss)
from discontinued operations), respectively, and cash payments received were $16
million and $20 million, respectively.

various tenants under operating leases and DFLs, in certain situations, the
Company owns and operates certain property, plant, and equipment for general
corporate purposes. Corporate assets are recorded within other assets, net
within the Company's consolidated balance sheets and depreciation expense for
those assets is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Company's
consolidated statements of operations. Included within other assets, net as of
December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is $6 million and $4 million,
respectively, of accumulated depreciation related to corporate assets. Included

depreciation expense related to corporate assets.
COVID-19 Rent Deferrals
During the second and third quarters of 2020, the Company agreed to defer rent
from certain tenants in the medical office segment, with the requirement that
all deferred rent be repaid by the end of 2020. Under this program, through
December 31, 2020, approximately $6 million of rent was deferred for the medical
office segment, substantially all of which had been collected as of December 31,
2020.
Additionally, through December 31, 2020, the Company granted approximately
$1 million of rent deferrals to certain tenants in the life science segment, all
of which had been collected as of December 31, 2020.
The rent deferrals granted do not impact the pattern of revenue recognition or
amount of revenue recognized (refer to Note 2 for additional information).

(1)At December 31, 2020, the Company had $11 million remaining of commitments to
fund $81 million of senior housing development and redevelopment projects. At
December 31, 2019, the Company had $25 million remaining of commitments to fund
$174 million of senior housing development and redevelopment projects.
2020 Loans Receivable Transactions
For certain residents that qualify, CCRCs may offer to lend residents the
necessary funds to satisfy the entrance fee requirements so that they are able
to move into a community while still continuing the process of selling their
previous home. The loans are due upon sale of the previous residence. Upon
completing the CCRC Acquisition (see Note 3) in January 2020, the Company began
consolidating 13 CCRCs, which held approximately $30 million of such notes
receivable from various community residents at the time of acquisition. At
December 31, 2020, the Company held $23 million of such receivables, which are
included in mezzanine and other in the table above.
In November 2020, the Company sold one mezzanine loan with a $10 million
principal balance for $8 million, resulting in a $2 million loss.
In December 2020, the Company sold one secured mortgage loan with a $115 million
principal balance for $109 million, resulting in a $6 million loss.
SHOP Seller Financing
In December 2020, in conjunction with the sale of four SHOP facilities in the
Atria SHOP Portfolio for $94 million (see Note 5), the Company provided the
buyer with financing of $61 million. The remainder of the sales price was
received in cash at the time of sale. The financing is secured by the buyer's
equity ownership in the four properties.
In conjunction with the sale of 32 SHOP facilities in the Sunrise Senior Housing
Portfolio for $664 million in January 2021 (see Note 5), the Company provided
the buyer with financing of $410 million. The remainder of the sales price was
received in cash at the time of sale. The financing is secured by the buyer's
equity ownership in each property.
In conjunction with the sale of 16 additional SHOP facilities for $230 million
in January 2021 (see Note 5), the Company provided the buyer with financing of
$150 million. The remainder of the sales price was received in cash at the time
of sale. The financing is secured by the buyer's equity ownership in each
property.
In December 2019, the Company sold two SHOP facilities in Florida for $56
million and provided the buyer with initial financing of $45 million. The
remainder of the sales price was received in cash at the time of sale.
Additionally, the Company agreed to provide up to $10 million of redevelopment
funding (80% of the estimated cost of redevelopment), $7 million of which has
been funded as of December 31, 2020. The initial and redevelopment financings
are secured by the buyer's equity ownership in the property.
Loans Receivable Internal Ratings
In connection with the Company's quarterly review process or upon the occurrence
of a significant event, loans receivable are reviewed and assigned an internal
rating of Performing, Watch List, or Workout. Loans that are deemed Performing
meet all present contractual obligations, and collection and timing of all
amounts owed is reasonably assured. Watch List Loans are defined as loans that
do not meet the definition of Performing or Workout. Workout Loans are defined
as loans in which the Company has determined, based on current information and
events, that: (i) it is probable it will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the agreement, (ii) the borrower is
delinquent on making payments under the contractual terms of the agreement, and
(iii) the Company has commenced action or anticipates pursuing action in the
near term to seek recovery of its investment.

receivable secured by real estate.
During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, the Company recognized
$13 million, $6 million, and $5 million, respectively, of interest income
related to loans secured by real estate.
Reserve for Loan Losses
The Company evaluates the liquidity and creditworthiness of its borrowers on a
quarterly basis. The Company's evaluation considers industry and economic
conditions, individual and portfolio property performance, credit enhancements,
liquidity, and other factors. The Company's borrowers furnish property,
portfolio, and guarantor/operator-level financial statements, among other
information, on a monthly or quarterly basis, which the Company utilizes to
calculate the debt service coverages used in its assessment of internal ratings,
which is a primary credit quality indicator. Debt service coverage information
is evaluated together with other property, portfolio, and operator performance
information, including revenue, expense, net operating income, occupancy, rental
rates, capital expenditures, and EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest,
tax, and depreciation and amortization), along with other liquidity measures.

In its assessment of current expected credit losses for loans receivable and
unfunded loan commitments, the Company utilizes past payment history of its
borrowers, current economic conditions, and forecasted economic conditions
through the maturity date of each loan to estimate a probability of default and
a resulting loss for each loan receivable. Future economic conditions are based
primarily on near-term economic forecasts from the Federal Reserve and
reasonable assumptions for long-term economic trends.

December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

Additionally, at December 31, 2020, a liability of $1 million related to
expected credit losses for unfunded loan commitments was included in accounts
payable, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities.
Credit loss expenses and recoveries are recorded in impairments and loan loss
reserves (recoveries), net. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the net
credit loss expense was $18 million. The change in the provision for expected
loan losses during the year ended December 31, 2020 is primarily due to the
current and anticipated economic impact of COVID-19.
Other Secured Loans
Tandem Health Care Loan
From July 2012 through May 2015, the Company funded, in aggregate, $257 million
under a collateralized mezzanine loan facility (the "Mezzanine Loan") to certain
affiliates of Tandem Health Care (together with is affiliates, "Tandem").
In March 2018, the Company sold the Mezzanine Loan to a third party for
approximately $112 million, which resulted in an impairment recovery, net of
transaction costs and fees, of $3 million included in other income (expense),
net. The Company holds no further economic interest in the operations of Tandem.
U.K. Bridge Loan
In 2016, the Company provided a £105 million ($131 million at closing) bridge
loan (the "U.K. Bridge Loan") to Maria Mallaband Care Group Ltd. ("MMCG") to
fund the acquisition of a portfolio of seven care homes in the U.K. Under the
U.K. Bridge Loan, the Company retained a three-year call option to acquire those
seven care homes at a future date for £105 million, subject to certain
conditions precedent being met. In March 2018, upon resolution of all conditions
precedent, the Company began the process of exercising its call option to
acquire the seven care homes and concluded that it should consolidate the real
estate. As a result, the Company derecognized the outstanding loan receivable of
£105 million and recognized a £29 million ($41 million) loss on consolidation.
Refer to Note 19 for further discussion regarding impact of consolidating the
seven care homes during the first quarter of 2018.
In June 2018, the Company completed the process of exercising the
above-mentioned call option. The seven care homes acquired through the call
option were included in the U.K. JV transaction (see Note 5).

_______________________________________


(1)These entities are not consolidated because the Company does not control,
through voting rights or other means, the joint ventures.
(2)The property count, ownership percentage, and carrying amount at December 31,
2020 excludes the Otay Ranch JV, which is classified as discontinued operations
and has an aggregate carrying value of $6 million at December 31, 2020. The
carrying amount at December 31, 2019 excludes the Otay Ranch JV, Waldwick JV,
MBK JV, and MBK Development JV, which are classified as discontinued operations
and had an aggregate carrying value of $51 million at December 31, 2019. The
Otay Ranch JV (90% ownership percentage) is the only one of these joint ventures
that remains outstanding at December 31, 2020.
(3)Property count and ownership percentage are as of December 31, 2020.
(4)In December 2019, the Company formed the SWF SH JV with a sovereign wealth
fund (see Note 4).
(5)In December 2020, the Company acquired a joint venture interest in a life
science facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts (see Note 4).
(6)Includes three unconsolidated medical office joint ventures (and the
Company's ownership percentage): (i) Ventures IV (20%); (ii) Ventures III (30%);
and (iii) Suburban Properties, LLC (67%).
(7)Unconsolidated other joint ventures (and the Company's ownership percentage)
include: (i) Discovery Naples JV (41%) and (ii) Discovery Sarasota JV (47%). The
Discovery Naples JV and Discovery Sarasota JV are joint ventures that are
developing senior housing facilities and the Company's investments in those
joint ventures are preferred equity investments earning a 10% per annum
fixed-rate return. In January 2020, the Company sold its interest in the
remaining K&Y joint venture for $12 million. At December 31, 2019, the K&Y joint
venture includes an ownership percentage of 80% and one unconsolidated joint
venture. In October 2019, the Company sold its interest in one of the K&Y joint
ventures for $4 million.
(8)See Note 3 for a discussion of the 2019 MTCA with Brookdale, including the
acquisition of Brookdale's interest in 13 of the 15 communities in the CCRC JV
in January 2020.
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the aggregate unamortized basis difference of the
Company's investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $33 million and
$(63) million, respectively, is primarily attributable to the difference between
the amount for which the Company purchased its interest in the entity and the
historical carrying value of the net assets of the entity. The difference is
being amortized over the remaining useful life of the related assets and is
included in equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures.
CCRC JV. In January 2020, the Company, which owned a 49% interest in the CCRC
JV, purchased Brookdale's 51% interest in and began consolidating 13 of the 15
communities in the CCRC JV. Refer to Note 3 for a detailed discussion of the
2019 MTCA with Brookdale. During 2019, the CCRC JV recognized an impairment
charge of $12 million. Accordingly, the Company recognized its 49% share of the
impairment charge ($6 million) through equity income (loss) from unconsolidated
joint ventures during the year ended December 31, 2019.
U.K. JV. In December 2019, the Company sold its remaining 49% interest in the
U.K. JV for proceeds of £70 million ($91 million) and recognized a loss on sale
of $7 million (based on exchange rates at the time the transaction was
completed), including $1 million of loss in accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) that was reclassified to gain (loss) on sales of real estate. As
of December 31, 2019, the Company no longer owned real estate in the U.K.

NOTE 11.  Debt


Bank Line of Credit and Term Loans
On May 23, 2019, the Company executed a $2.5 billion unsecured revolving line of
credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"), which matures on May 23, 2023 and
contains two six month extension options, subject to certain customary
conditions. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility accrue interest at LIBOR
plus a margin that depends on credit ratings of the Company's senior unsecured
long-term debt. The Company pays a facility fee on the entire revolving
commitment that depends on its credit ratings. Based on those credit ratings at
December 31, 2020, the margin on the Revolving Facility was 0.83% and the
facility fee was 0.15%.
In May 2019, the Company also entered into a $250 million unsecured term loan
facility, which the Company fully drew down during the second quarter of 2019
(the "2019 Term Loan" and, together with the Revolving Facility, the
"Facilities"). The 2019 Term Loan matures on May 23, 2024. Based on credit
ratings for the Company's senior unsecured long-term debt at December 31, 2020,
the 2019 Term Loan accrues interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 0.90%, with a
weighted average effective interest rate of 1.14%.
The Facilities include a feature that allows the Company to increase the
borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $750 million, subject to
securing additional commitments. The Facilities also contain certain financial
restrictions and other customary requirements, including cross-default
provisions to other indebtedness. Among other things, these covenants, using
terms defined in the agreements: (i) limit the ratio of Enterprise Total
Indebtedness to Enterprise Gross Asset Value to 60%; (ii) limit the ratio of
Enterprise Secured Debt to Enterprise Gross Asset Value to 40%; (iii) limit the
ratio of Enterprise Unsecured Debt to Enterprise Unencumbered Asset Value to
60%; (iv) require a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.5 times; and (v)
require a minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $7.0 billion. At
December 31, 2020, the Company believes it was in compliance with each of these
restrictions and requirements of the Facilities.
Commercial Paper Program
In September 2019, the Company established an unsecured commercial paper program
(the "Commercial Paper Program"). Under the terms of the Commercial Paper
Program, the Company may issue, from time to time, unsecured short-term debt
securities with varying maturities. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper
Program may be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed from time to time, with the
maximum aggregate face or principal amount outstanding at any one time not
exceeding $1.0 billion. Amounts borrowed under the Commercial Paper Program will
be sold on terms that are customary for the U.S. commercial paper market and
will be at least equal in right of payment with all of the Company's other
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Company intends to use its
Revolving Facility as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of unsecured short
term debt securities issued under the Commercial Paper Program. At December 31,
2020, the Company had $130 million of notes outstanding under the Commercial
Paper Program, with original maturities of one month and a weighted average
interest rate of 0.30%. At December 31, 2019, the Company had $93 million of
notes outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program, with original maturities
of one month and a weighted average interest rate of 2.04%.

Senior Unsecured Notes
At December 31, 2020, the Company had senior unsecured notes outstanding with an
aggregate principal balance of $5.75 billion. The senior unsecured notes contain
certain covenants including limitations on debt, maintenance of unencumbered
assets, cross-acceleration provisions, and other customary terms. The Company
believes it was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2020.

Mortgage debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments, is
collateralized by real estate assets, and is generally non-recourse. Mortgage
debt typically restricts the transfer of the encumbered assets, prohibits
additional liens, restricts prepayment, requires payment of real estate taxes,
requires maintenance of the assets in good condition, requires insurance on the
assets, and includes conditions to obtain lender consent to enter into or
terminate material leases. Some of the mortgage debt may require tenants or
operators to maintain compliance with the applicable leases or operating
agreements of such real estate assets.
