LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HCP (the "Company" or "we") (NYSE: HCP) announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Funds from operations ("FFO") applicable to common shares, before giving effect to impairments and litigation provision was $149.3 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to FFO applicable to common shares, before giving effect to impairments and merger-related charges of $178.8 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. FFO applicable to common shares was $32.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to FFO applicable to common shares of $174.3 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the year-ago period.
FFO applicable to common shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 included the negative impact of $0.39 per diluted share of the following: (i) impairments of $0.05 per diluted share; (ii) a charge of $0.36 per diluted share related to an accrued liability in connection with a jury verdict in the Ventas litigation; and (iii) income of $0.02 per diluted share related to sales of marketable debt securities. FFO applicable to common shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 included the positive impact of $0.16 per diluted share of the following: (i) lease termination fees of $0.07 per diluted share resulting from the early termination of three leases in our life science segment and a related impairment charge of $0.02 per diluted share; and (ii) income of $0.11 per diluted share related to the settlement of various disputes with Tenet Healthcare Corporation. FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes is helpful in evaluating the operating performance of real estate investment trusts.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we incurred a net loss of $52.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income applicable to common shares of $119.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Including the items impacting FFO discussed above, the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 also included gain on sales of real estate of $2.5 million and $27.8 million, respectively.
INVESTMENTS
On August 3, 2009, we purchased a $720 million participation in first mortgage debt of HCR ManorCare, at a discount of $130 million, for approximately $590 million. The $720 million participation bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% and represents 45% of the $1.6 billion most senior tranche of HCR ManorCare's mortgage debt incurred as part of the financing for The Carlyle Group's acquisition of Manor Care, Inc. in December 2007. The mortgage debt matures in January 2012, with a one-year extension available at the borrower's option subject to certain performance conditions, and was secured by a first lien on 331 facilities located in 30 states at closing. We obtained favorable financing to fund 72% of the purchase price, resulting in a net cash payment by HCP of $166 million.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we funded $31 million for construction and other capital projects, primarily in our life science segment.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we sold marketable debt securities for $115 million, recognizing aggregate gains of $6 million, and two medical office buildings for $6 million, recognizing gain on sales of real estate of $2.5 million.
FINANCINGS
On August 10, 2009, we completed a $441 million public offering of 17.8 million shares of our common stock at a price of $24.75 per share. We received net proceeds of $423 million, which were used to repay the total outstanding indebtedness under our revolving line of credit facility, including borrowings for the additional investment in HCR ManorCare discussed above, with the remainder used for general corporate purposes.
On August 20, 2009, we entered into two interest-rate swap contracts (pay float and receive fixed) with an aggregate notional amount of $500 million that terminate in 2011. The interest-rate swap contracts reduced our net floating rate asset exposure, which had increased as a result of our additional investment in HCR ManorCare and third quarter repayments of floating rate debt, which were both funded with proceeds from our August 2009 public equity offering.
On August 27, 2009, we prepaid $100 million of variable rate mortgage debt. The mortgage debt, with an original maturity of January 2010, was repaid with proceeds from our August 2009 public equity offering and third quarter asset sales.
OTHER
On September 4, 2009, a jury returned a verdict in favor of Ventas, Inc. ("Ventas"), in an action brought against us in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky for tortious interference with prospective business advantage in connection with Ventas's 2007 acquisition of Sunrise Senior Living REIT. The jury awarded Ventas approximately $102 million in compensatory damages, which we recorded as a litigation provision expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Ventas originally sought approximately $300 million in compensatory damages as well as punitive damages. We filed a motion with the court for post-trial relief and we intend to appeal an adverse judgment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, in relation to the above matter, we have incurred legal expenses of $6.2 million and $12.7 million, respectively.
On October 1, 2009, we completed the transition of management agreements on 15 communities operated by Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Sunrise") that were previously terminated for Sunrise's failure to achieve certain performance thresholds. The transition of these facilities to new operators decreases our Sunrise-managed properties in our portfolio to 75 communities from the original 101 communities we acquired in the 2006 CNL Retirement Properties, Inc. transaction. The termination of the agreements did not require the payment of a termination fee to Sunrise by our tenants or us.
DIVIDEND
On October 29, 2009, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.46 per share. The dividend will be paid on November 24, 2009 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 2009.
OUTLOOK
Our full year 2009 Outlook of FFO applicable to common shares, before giving effect to impairments and litigation provision, remains unchanged. For the full year 2009, we presently expect FFO applicable to common shares to range between $2.10 and $2.16 per diluted share, before giving effect to impairments and litigation provision; FFO applicable to common shares to range between $1.65 and $1.71 per diluted share; and net income applicable to common shares to range between $0.55 and $0.61 per diluted share.

Presentation and certain computational changes have been made for the
adoption of Accounting Standard Codification 260-10, Earnings Per Share -
(1) Overall (formerly FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted
in Share Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities), to
compute earnings per share and funds from operations per share under the
two-class method.
The Company believes funds from operations applicable to common shares,
diluted funds from operations applicable to common shares and basic and
diluted funds from operations per common share are important supplemental
measures of operating performance for a real estate investment trust.
Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate
assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such
(2) 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 real estate investment trust that uses historical
cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. The term funds
from operations ("FFO") was designed by the real estate investment trust
industry to address this issue.
FFO is defined as net income (loss) applicable to common shares (computed
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles),
excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate
depreciation and amortization, with adjustments for joint ventures.
Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same
basis. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, is not
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not
be considered an alternative to net income (loss). The Company's
computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other real
estate investment trusts that do not define the term in accordance with the
current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' ("NAREIT")
definition or that have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT
definition from the Company.
Merger-related charges in the periods ended September 30, 2008 include the
(3) amortization of fees associated with our acquisition financing for Slough
Estates USA Inc. ("SEUSA"), as well as other SEUSA integration costs.
