Full Year 2019 Newly Formed Seniors Housing Relationships
Related/Atria Welltower is the long-term capital partner for a joint venture between The Related Companies and Atria Senior Living, a partnership focused on developing, owning and operating modern, urban communities catering to seniors looking to live in major cities. In May 2019, the partnership announced the development of its first project, a luxury seniors living community at 1001 Van Ness in San Francisco, CA. In February 2020, the partnership announced the closing of a second development project, an upscale seniors living community located in the Hudson Yards sub-market in New York City.
Balfour Senior Living We formed a new RIDEA relationship with Denver, Colorado-based Balfour Senior Living, a premier operator of luxury independent, assisted living and memory care communities. We acquired a six-community portfolio, including Balfour's 203-unit flagship community, Riverfront Park, located in downtown Denver. As part of this transaction, we gained exclusivity on Balfour's future acquisitions and development pipeline, as well as an option to acquire up to a 34.9% interest in the management company.
Clover Management We formed a new joint venture partnership with Buffalo, New York-based Clover Management, an owner and operator of senior communities throughout the Northeast and Midwest regions of the United States.
Frontier Management We formed a new RIDEA relationship with Portland, Oregon-based Frontier Management, a premier operator of high acuity assisted living and memory care communities throughout the United States. Additionally we transitioned 20 properties previously operated by Silverado Senior Living to Frontier Management under a newly formed RIDEA joint venture.
LCB Senior Living We formed a new RIDEA relationship with Norwood, Massachusetts-based LCB Senior Living, a leading provider of senior living options throughout New England and several Mid-Atlantic states. In addition, we completed the transition of two former Brookdale communities in Chelmsford, MA and Rocky Hill, CT to LCB.
Full Year 2019 Notable Disposition Activity
Benchmark Senior Living As previously disclosed, we sold our Benchmark Senior Living portfolio for a gross $1.8 billion sale price, with potential to receive an additional $50 million in earnout proceeds subject to certain future sale hurdles. The 4,137-unit seniors housing operating portfolio consists of 48 assisted living properties located in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Long-Term/Post-Acute Care Dispositions We completed the disposition of 48 properties for $558 million at a 9.6% yield, further reducing long-term/post-acute care concentration.
Outlook for 2020 We are introducing our 2020 earnings guidance and expect to report net income attributable to common stockholders in a range of $2.96 to $3.06 per diluted share and normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders in a range of $4.20 to $4.30 per diluted share. In preparing our guidance, we have made the following assumptions:
Same Store NOI: We expect average blended SSNOI growth of 1.5% to 2.5% which is comprised of the following components:
Seniors housing operating approximately 1.00% to 2.50%
Seniors housing triple-net approximately 2.25% to 2.75%
Outpatient medical approximately 2.25% to 2.75%
Health system approximately 1.95%
Long-term/post-acute care approximately 2.0% to 2.5%
General and administrative expenses: We anticipate annual general and administrative expenses of approximately $140 million, including $30 million of stock-based compensation.
Acquisitions/Joint Ventures: 2020 earnings guidance includes only acquisitions and joint ventures closed or announced year to date of $1.1 billion at a year 1 blended yield of 5.6%.
Development: We anticipate funding approximately $468 million of development in 2020 relating to projects underway on December 31, 2019.
Dispositions: We expect pro rata disposition proceeds of $1.7 billion at a blended yield of 5.1% in 2020.
Our guidance does not include any additional investments, dispositions or capital transactions beyond those we have announced, nor any other expenses, impairments, unanticipated additions to the loan loss reserve or other additional normalizing items. Please see the Supplemental Reporting Measures section for further discussion and our definition of normalized FFO and SSNOI and the Exhibits for a reconciliation of the outlook for net income available to common stockholders to normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders. We will provide additional detail regarding our 2020 outlook and assumptions on the fourth quarter 2019 conference call.
Conference Call Information We have scheduled a conference call on Thursday, February 13, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss our fourth quarter 2019 results, industry trends, portfolio performance and outlook for 2020.

two hours after completion of the call through February 27, 2020. To access the rebroadcast, dial 855-859-2056 or 404-537-3406 (international). The conference ID number is 5851036. To participate in the webcast, log on to www.welltower.com 15 minutes before the call to download the necessary software. Replays will be available for 90 days.
Supplemental Reporting Measures We believe that net income and net income attributable to common stockholders (NICS), as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), are the most appropriate earnings measurements. However, we consider funds from operations (FFO), normalized FFO, REVPOR, same store REVPOR (SS REVPOR), net operating income (NOI) and same store NOI (SSNOI) to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. These supplemental measures are disclosed on our pro rata ownership basis. Pro rata amounts are derived by reducing consolidated amounts for minority partners’ noncontrolling ownership interests and adding our minority ownership share of unconsolidated amounts. We do not control unconsolidated investments. While we consider pro rata disclosures useful, they may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of our joint venture arrangements and should be used with caution.
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time as evidenced by the provision for depreciation. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. In response, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation from net income. FFO attributable to common stockholders, as defined by NAREIT, means net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate and impairments of depreciable assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests. Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders represents FFO attributable to common stockholders adjusted for certain items detailed in Exhibit 2. We believe that normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance because investors and equity analysts may use this measure to compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other REITs or other companies on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated and/or incalculable items.
We define NOI as total revenues, including tenant reimbursements, less property operating expenses. Property operating expenses represent costs associated with managing, maintaining and servicing tenants for our properties. These expenses include, but are not limited to, property-related payroll and benefits, property management fees paid to operators, marketing, housekeeping, food service, maintenance, utilities, property taxes and insurance. General and administrative expenses represent costs unrelated to property operations or transaction costs. These expenses include, but are not limited to, payroll and benefits, professional services, office expenses and depreciation of corporate fixed assets. SSNOI is used to evaluate the operating performance of our properties using a consistent population which controls for changes in the composition of our portfolio. As used herein, same store is generally defined as those revenue-generating properties in the portfolio for the relevant year-over-year reporting periods. Land parcels, loans, and sub-leases as well as any properties acquired, developed/redeveloped (including major refurbishments where 20% or more of units are simultaneously taken out of commission for 30 days or more), sold or classified as held for sale during that period are excluded from the same store amounts. Properties undergoing operator transitions and/or segment transitions (except Seniors Housing Triple-net to Seniors Housing Operating with the same operator) are also excluded from the same store amounts. Normalizers include adjustments that in management’s opinion are appropriate in considering SSNOI, a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure. None of these adjustments, which may increase or decrease SSNOI, are reflected in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Significant normalizers (defined as any that individually exceeds 0.50% of SSNOI growth per property type) are separately disclosed and explained. We believe NOI and SSNOI provide investors relevant and useful information because they measure the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI and SSNOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our properties. No reconciliation of the forecasted range for SSNOI on a combined basis or by property type is included in this release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts, and we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.
REVPOR represents the average revenues generated per occupied room per month at our Seniors Housing Operating properties. It is calculated as our pro rata version of total resident fees and services revenues from the income statement divided by average monthly occupied room days. SS REVPOR is used to evaluate the REVPOR performance of our properties under a consistent population which eliminates changes in the composition of our portfolio. It is based on the same pool of properties used for SSNOI and includes any revenue normalizations used for SSNOI. We use REVPOR and SS REVPOR to evaluate the revenue-generating capacity and profit potential of our Seniors Housing Operating portfolio independent of fluctuating occupancy rates. They are also used in comparison against industry and competitor statistics, if known, to evaluate the quality of our Seniors Housing Operating portfolio.
Our supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and ratings agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Our management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to historical operating results and in making operating decisions. Additionally, they are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management. The supplemental reporting measures do

February 12, 2020

not represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity. Finally, the supplemental reporting measures, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts or other companies. Please see the exhibits for reconciliations of supplemental reporting measures and the supplemental information package for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, which is available on the Company’s website (www.welltower.com), for information and reconciliations of additional supplemental reporting measures.
