EMERITUS ANNOUNCES OPERATING RESULTS FOR

THIRD QUARTER 2012

SEATTLE, WA, November 5, 2012 - Emeritus Corporation (NYSE: ESC), a national provider of senior living services, today announced its third quarter 2012 results.

Operating Summary for Third Quarter 2012 Compared to Third Quarter 2011

·	Community and management fee revenue increased $5.9 million, or 1.8%, to $329.2 million

·	Adjusted EBITDAR increased $1.8 million, or 2.0%, to $92.2 million

·	CFFO per share, as adjusted, increased to $0.40 from $0.37

·	Same community average monthly revenue per occupied unit increased 1.9% to $4,179

·	Same community average occupancy increased 30 basis points to 87.4%

Granger Cobb, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “This has been an exciting few months. As we expected and communicated earlier in the year, we have started to experience positive movement in both occupancy and rate. In addition, we secured a significant initial return on the recently announced transaction that will consolidate 142 previously managed communities, and an ongoing return over time as we operate those communities under lease agreements. Finally, we have enhanced our senior living service capabilities and synergies by expanding into the home health care business with the acquisition of Nurse on Call.”

2012 Third Quarter Consolidated Results

Total revenue in the third quarter of 2012 increased 1.8% to $381.1 million compared to the third quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of reimbursed costs incurred on behalf of managed communities, community and management fee revenues increased $5.9 million, or 1.8%, to $329.2 million. The increase consisted of $6.8 million from improved rate and occupancy in our same community portfolio, partially offset by reductions resulting from community dispositions.

Total average monthly revenue per occupied unit for the consolidated portfolio increased 3.3% to $4,198 in the third quarter of 2012 from $4,065 in the third quarter of 2011. In the third quarter of 2012, total average occupancy for the consolidated portfolio increased 60 basis points to 87.1% compared to 86.5% in the third quarter of 2011. The increase was due to improved occupancy in the same community portfolio as well as dispositions of lower-occupancy communities.

Community operating expenses decreased $6.5 million to $216.9 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $223.4 million in the 2011 period. The improvement was primarily due to an $8.5 million expense recorded in the 2011 period to increase the Company’s self-insurance reserves for prior years’ claims exposure, as well as reductions resulting from community dispositions. The overall expense decrease was partially offset by community operating expenses in the same community portfolio, which increased 2.5%, or $4.9 million.

Community operating income increased $12.1 million, or 12.8%, to $106.9 million in the third quarter of 2012 from $94.8 million in the third quarter of 2011. Community operating margin was 33.0% in the third quarter, compared to 29.8% in the prior-year period. Excluding the 2011 self-insurance adjustment referred to above, community operating income increased $3.5 million, or 3.4%, and community operating margin improved to

33.0%, compared to 32.5% in the third quarter of 2011. These increases are the result of improved occupancy and rate, combined with effective expense controls.

Excluding noncash stock-based compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses as a percent of total operated community revenue (which includes revenues of managed communities but excludes reimbursed costs of managed communities) was 4.7% in the third quarter of 2012, compared to 4.6% in the third quarter of 2011.

For the third quarter of 2012, Adjusted EBITDAR increased $1.8 million, or 2.0%, to $92.2 million, with the increase primarily driven by the increase in community operating income. Cash from facility operations (CFFO), as adjusted, increased to $17.9 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to $16.4 million, or $0.37 per share, in the third quarter of 2011.

2012 Third Quarter Same Community Results

As of September 30, 2012, the consolidated Emeritus portfolio consisted of 323 communities, of which 293 communities are included in the Company’s definition of same communities. Total same community revenue increased $6.8 million to $294.8 million in the third quarter of 2012, due to rate and occupancy improvements. Average monthly revenue per occupied unit increased 1.9% to $4,179 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $4,100 in the corresponding period in 2011. Average occupancy trended up throughout the quarter and increased 80 basis points sequentially from the second quarter of 2012. Average occupancy increased 30 basis points to 87.4% in the third quarter of 2012 from 87.1% in the prior-year period.

The Company’s same community operating expenses increased $4.9 million, or 2.5%, to $196.4 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $191.6 million in the prior-year period.

Same community operating income increased by $1.9 million to $98.3 million in the third quarter of 2012, and same community operating income margin was 33.4% as compared to 33.5% in the third quarter of 2011.

Recent Developments

On October 16, 2012, the Company announced that it had entered into definitive agreements with HCP, Inc. (“HCP”) and affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VI (“Blackstone”), under which HCP and Emeritus will acquire a total of 142 senior housing communities (the “Communities”), representing approximately 11,350 units owned by a joint venture comprised of Emeritus, Blackstone, certain former tenants-in-common, and an investment fund affiliated with Dan Baty, the Company’s Chairman (the “Blackstone JV”). Emeritus owns approximately a 6% interest in the Blackstone JV and has been operating the Communities since 2010 under management agreements for a fee equal to 5% of collected revenues.

Upon consummation of the transaction, HCP will acquire 133 of the Communities for an aggregate purchase price of $1.7 billion, consisting of cash and the assumption of existing debt. Emeritus will receive cash of approximately $140 million, comprised of approximately $40 million for the Company’s interest in the Blackstone JV and an incentive payment of approximately $100 million based on the final rate of return to the Blackstone JV’s investors. On October 31, 2012, HCP closed on the acquisition of 127 of the 133 Communities and, as part of the transaction, Emeritus also acquired nine Communities for $62.0 million, of which $10.0 million was paid in cash and $52.0 million was financed with a four-year loan from HCP with an initial interest rate of 6.1%. The closing of the remaining six Communities is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012.

After completing the transaction, Emeritus will continue to operate the 133 Communities purchased by HCP under long-term triple-net master leases (collectively, the “HCP Lease”). Rent in the first year of the HCP Lease will amount to $105.5 million and will increase each year in the manner specified in the lease. Emeritus has committed to make $30 million in capital improvements with respect to these Communities and such expenditures are expected to be made within the first two years of closing the transaction.

On November 1, 2012, the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase Nurse on Call, Inc. (“NOC”), the largest Medicare-licensed home health care provider in Florida and one of the largest such providers in the United States. Emeritus will pay $102 million in cash for 91% of the equity of NOC’s parent company, and the remaining equity will be owned by certain members of NOC’s management team. The Company will fund the purchase primarily from net proceeds realized from the sale of the Blackstone JV Communities. Final closing of this transaction is subject to customary closing conditions for an acquisition of this nature and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012

2012 Guidance Update

The Company provides guidance for the Company’s existing portfolio and excludes future acquisitions and dispositions.

The Company’s guidance for 2012 is as follows:

·	Community and management fee revenue in the range of $1.35 billion to $1.37 billion

·	Routine capital expenditures in the range of $23.0 million to $25.0 million

·	General and administrative expenses as a percent of total operated revenue of approximately 4.8%, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expenses

·	CFFO, as adjusted, in the range of $1.65 to $1.75 per share, excluding expenses for significant transactions

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAR and CFFO are financial measures of operating performance that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful in identifying trends in day-to-day performance because they exclude items that are of little or no significance to operations and provide indicators to management of progress in achieving optimal operating performance. In addition, these measures are used by many research analysts and investors to evaluate the performance and the value of companies in the senior living industry. The Company strongly urges you to review the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAR and the reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to CFFO, provided below, along with the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAR and CFFO and provides other information about these non-GAAP measures in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
