IRVINE, CA, August 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ – HCP (NYSE: HCP) announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

(1)   For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the other impairment relates to our Four Seasons Health Care senior unsecured notes (“Four Seasons Notes”).

(2)   For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the severance-related charge relates to the resignation of our former EVP and Chief Investment Officer.

Net income for the second quarter 2016 included the impact of certain items: (i) gain on sales of real estate of $0.25 per share; and (ii) an interest income benefit of $0.03 per share from the payoff of two senior housing development loans representing our participation in the appreciation of the real estate (compared to $0.02 per share of similar interest income from monetizing a senior housing development loan in the second quarter of 2015).

Additionally, operating results, excluding FAD, during the second quarter 2016 reflect placing our HCR ManorCare (“HCRMC”) investments on cash basis effective January 1, 2016. The prior year comparable period included non-cash HCRMC income of $0.08 per share.

FFO, FFO as adjusted, FAD and Cash NOI SPP excluding QCP are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful in evaluating the operating performance of real estate investment trusts. See the “Net Operating Income and Same Property Performance”, “Funds From Operations” and “Funds Available for Distribution” sections of this release for additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.

SECOND QUARTER 2016 AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

For the second quarter and through August 8, 2016, we announced $111 million of investment activities, bringing our year-to-date total investments to $475 million. Significant transactions included:

·     In June, we commenced a $62 million multi-building development project encompassing 301,000 sq. ft. at our Ridgeview Business Park in Poway, CA which is 50% pre-leased. The project includes a $32 million build-to-suit totaling 152,000 sq. ft. for an existing tenant expected to be completed in 2018 as part of a larger leasing transaction.

·     In July, we acquired two Class A life science buildings totaling 136,000 sq. ft. and a four-acre parcel of land in San Diego, CA for $49 million, growing our life science footprint in a core market.

DISPOSITIONS AND RIDEA II TRANSACTION

We completed $282 million of dispositions during the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Significant transactions during the quarter included:

·     $130 million of proceeds from the sale of a portfolio of five skilled nursing and two assisted living facilities operated by Trilogy, recognizing a net gain on sales of real estate of $82 million;

·     $90 million of proceeds from the previously announced sale of a life science facility and medical office building, recognizing a net gain on sales of real estate of $38 million; and

·     $51 million of proceeds from the monetization of two senior housing development loans, recognizing $15 million of incremental interest income, representing our participation in the appreciation of the underlying real estate assets.

HCP expects to generate approximately $470 million of proceeds from the pending RIDEA II joint venture transaction announced last quarter, from selling a 40% stake in the venture for $110 million and raising $360 million of new third party debt. Note that this has been revised from our previously disclosed estimate of $740 million due to our decision to reduce the size of new third party mortgage debt, allowing us to reduce leverage more quickly compared to our previous plan. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter.

For full year 2016, we expect to generate approximately $1.25 billion of proceeds from dispositions and the RIDEA II transaction.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

During the second quarter, we prepaid $200 million of maturing mortgage debt with a blended interest rate of 6.6%. We ended the quarter with $0.9 billion drawn on our revolving line of credit facility and $1.1 billion of remaining capacity.

LIFE SCIENCE AND MEDICAL OFFICE LEASING

During the second quarter, we completed 1.3 million sq. ft. of leasing in our life science and medical office portfolios, consisting of 858,000 sq. ft. of renewals and 435,000 sq. ft. of new leases. Our leasing efforts resulted in occupancy reaching 98.7% for our life science portfolio, representing a new all-time high, and 91.6% for our medical office portfolio. Significant leasing transactions included the following:

·     In June, we executed a renewal and expansion totaling 549,000 sq. ft. with a tenant in Poway, CA, consisting of: (i) a 7-year lease extension at four buildings totaling 397,000 sq. ft. that extends the maturity to 2031, and (ii) a 7-year new lease encompassing 152,000 sq. ft. for a build-to-suit development project (as mentioned under “Investment Transactions” above);

·     10-year renewal for a medical office tenant occupying 72,000 sq. ft. in Longview, TX;

·     5-year renewal and expansion for 52,000 sq. ft. in our life science portfolio in S. San Francisco, CA; and

·     10-year new lease for 45,000 sq. ft. in our life science portfolio in Hayward, CA.

HCR MANORCARE UPDATE

SPIN TRANSACTION

In August 2016, QCP, formerly named HCP SpinCo, Inc., filed an amended Registration Statement on Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, consistent with our previously announced plan to spin off our HCRMC portfolio, as well as other skilled nursing facilities, into an independent publicly traded REIT.

The spin transaction is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2016 and is subject to certain conditions, including the effectiveness of QCP’s Registration Statement on Form 10 and final approval and declaration of the distribution by HCP’s Board of Directors. HCP may, at any time until the closing of the spin-off, decide to abandon, modify or change the terms of the spin-off.

A copy of QCP’s Registration Statement on Form 10, which contains financial and other information regarding QCP and the spin transaction, is available at www.sec.gov and on the Investor Relations section of HCP’s website at http://ir.hcpi.com/QCP-Documents. The Form 10 Registration Statement is preliminary and will be subsequently amended to provide further information regarding QCP and the spin transaction prior to its completion.

HCRMC SECOND QUARTER OPERATING PERFORMANCE

For the second quarter 2016, HCRMC reported normalized EBITDAR of $132 million, bringing the year-to-date total to $263 million. HCRMC’s normalized fixed charge coverage ratio for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2016 was 1.03x. EBITDAR losses from the 33 non-strategic assets that have sold to date totaled $9 million for the reported twelve-month period. Upon excluding these EBITDAR losses and the rent associated with the assets, the trailing twelve month normalized fixed charge coverage would have been 1.07x.

HCRMC ended the second quarter with $174 million of cash and cash equivalents and continues to be current on its obligations under the amended master lease.

EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP

On July 11, 2016, we announced that our Executive Chairman Michael D. McKee assumed the additional role of interim President and CEO. The Board of Directors has initiated the process of appointing a permanent CEO. Additionally, during the second quarter, we welcomed back Thomas M. Herzog as EVP and CFO.

DIVIDEND

On July 28, 2016, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.575 per common share. The dividend will be paid on August 23, 2016 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 8, 2016.

SUSTAINABILITY

In June 2016, we were the 2nd ranked REIT and 69th overall in the 2016 Newsweek Green Rankings U.S. 500, which ranks the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the U.S. and globally. Additionally, for the fifth consecutive year, we were named as a constituent to the FTSE4Good Index Series, an equity index series designed to facilitate investment in companies that meet globally recognized environmental, social and governance criteria. More information about HCP’s sustainability efforts can be found on our website at www.hcpi.com/sustainable-growth.

OUTLOOK

Our guidance estimates do not reflect the impact of the anticipated spin transaction or unannounced future transactions, but does reflect the impact of $1.25 billion of dispositions expected in 2016 inclusive of the RIDEA II transaction. For full year 2016, we expect: EPS to range between $1.83 and $1.89; FFO per share to range between $2.72 and $2.78; FFO as adjusted per share to range between $2.83 and $2.89; and FAD per share to range between $2.68 and $2.74. In addition, we expect 2016 SPP Cash NOI to increase between 1.5% and 2.5%. Excluding QCP, we expect 2016 SPP Cash NOI to increase between 2.3% and 3.3%. Refer to the “Projected Future Operations” and “Projected SPP Cash NOI” sections of this release for additional information regarding these estimates.

Funds From Operations(1)

In thousands, except per share data

(Unaudited)

(1)    We believe Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is an important supplemental measure 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 developed by the REIT industry to address this issue. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or “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 depreciation and amortization, and adjustments to compute our share of FFO from 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 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 FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition; however, other REITs may report FFO differently or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from ours. FFO as adjusted represents FFO before the impact of severance-related charges, impairments (recoveries) of non-depreciable assets, foreign currency remeasurement losses (gains) and transaction-related items. Transaction-related items include acquisition and pursuit costs (e.g., due diligence and closing) and gains/charges incurred as a result of mergers and acquisitions and lease amendment or termination activities. 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. This non-GAAP supplemental measure is a modification of the NAREIT definition of FFO and should not be used as an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) or NAREIT FFO. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 for a reconciliation, on a per share basis, from net income (loss) applicable to common shares, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to FFO and FFO as adjusted.

(2)    Other depreciation and amortization includes DFL depreciation and lease incentive amortization (reduction of straight-line rents) for the consideration given to terminate the 30 purchase options of the 153-property amended lease portfolio in the 2014 Brookdale transaction. Beginning January 2016, we changed our accounting treatment for the HCRMC DFL investments to recognize rental income on a cash basis. As such, we no longer recognize non-cash depreciation related to the HCRMC DFL investments.

(3)    For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net income includes $53 million, of which $49 million relates to the HCRMC real estate portfolio, of income tax expense associated with state built-in gain tax payable upon the disposition of specific real estate assets. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(4)    For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the other impairment is related to our Four Seasons Notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, other impairments include: (i) $42 million related to our Four Seasons Notes and (ii) $478 million related to our HCRMC DFL investments.

(5)    The severance-related charge relates to the resignation of our former Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer.

Funds Available for Distribution(1)

In thousands, except per share data

(Unaudited)

(1)          Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) is defined as FFO as adjusted after excluding the impact of the following: (i) amortization of acquired market lease intangibles, net; (ii) amortization of deferred compensation expense; (iii) amortization of deferred financing costs, net; (iv) straight-line rents; (v) non-cash interest and depreciation related to DFLs and lease incentive amortization (reduction of straight-line rents) and (vi) 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, FAD: (i) is computed after deducting recurring capital expenditures, including leasing costs and second generation tenant and capital improvements; and (ii) includes lease restructure payments and adjustments to compute our share of FAD from our unconsolidated joint ventures and those related to CCRC non-refundable entrance fees. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FAD on the same basis. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating FAD, and accordingly, our FAD may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. Although our FAD computation may not be comparable to that of other REITs, management believes FAD 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. FAD does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 for a reconciliation, on a per share basis, from net income (loss) applicable to common shares, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to FAD.

(2)          Excludes $2.9 million related to the acceleration of deferred compensation for restricted stock units and stock options that vested upon the resignation of HCP’s former Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, which is included in the severance-related charge for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

(3)          For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, DFL non-cash interest reflects an elimination of $15 million and $30 million, respectively. Our equity investment in HCRMC is accounted for using the equity method, which requires an elimination of DFL income that is proportional to our ownership in HCRMC. Further, our share of earnings from HCRMC (equity income) increases for the corresponding elimination of related lease expense recognized at the HCRMC entity level, which we present as a non-cash joint venture FAD adjustment. Beginning January 2016, equity income is recognized only if cash distributions are received from HCRMC; as a result, we no longer eliminate our proportional ownership share of income from DFLs to equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures for our equity investment in HCRMC.

(4)          Over a period of three years from the closing of a transaction with Brookdale in 2014, we will receive installment payments valued at $55 million for terminating the leases on the HCP owned 49-property portfolio; we include these installment payments in FAD as the payments are collected.

(5)          Represents our 49% share of non-refundable entrance fees included in FAD as the fees are collected by our CCRC JV.
