BROOKDALE SENIOR LIVING INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business

Brookdale Senior Living Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries ("Brookdale" or the "Company") is an operator of 672 senior living communities throughout the United States. The Company is committed to its mission of enriching the lives of the people it serves with compassion, respect, excellence, and integrity. The Company operates and manages independent living, assisted living, memory care, and continuing care retirement communities ("CCRCs"). The Company's senior living communities and its comprehensive network help to provide seniors with care and services in an environment that feels like home. As of September 30, 2022, the Company owned 346 communities, representing a majority of the Company's consolidated community portfolio, leased 295 communities, and managed 31 communities.

On July 1, 2021, the Company sold 80% of its equity in its Health Care Services segment ("HCS Sale"). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and cash flows of the Health Care Services segment through June 30, 2021. For periods beginning July 1, 2021, the results and financial position of the Health Care Services segment were deconsolidated from the Company's consolidated financial statements and its 20% equity interest in the Health Care Services venture (the "HCS Venture") is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for all periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate and provide a fair presentation of interim period results. Interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results for an entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 15, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brookdale and its consolidated subsidiaries. The ownership interest of consolidated entities not wholly-owned by the Company are presented as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, and net income (loss) is reduced by the portion of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company reports investments in unconsolidated entities over whose operating and financial policies it has the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting.

The Company continually evaluates its potential variable interest entity ("VIE") relationships under certain criteria as provided for in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 810, Consolidation ("ASC 810"). ASC 810 broadly defines a VIE as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity's activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis and consolidates any VIEs for which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary, as determined by the Company's power to direct the VIE's activities and the obligation to absorb its losses or the right to receive its benefits, which are potentially significant to the VIE.


8


Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, revenue, other operating income, asset impairments, self-insurance reserves, performance-based compensation, the allowance for credit losses, depreciation and amortization, leasing transactions, income taxes, and other contingencies. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from the original estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation, with no effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

3. COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the Company's occupancy and resident fee revenue beginning in March 2020 and resulted in incremental direct costs to respond to the pandemic.

The Company cannot predict with reasonable certainty the impacts that COVID-19 ultimately will have on its business, results of operations, cash flow, and liquidity, and its response efforts may continue to delay or negatively impact its strategic initiatives, including plans for future growth. The ultimate impacts of COVID-19 will depend on many factors, some of which cannot be foreseen, including the duration, severity, and breadth of the pandemic and any resurgence or variants of the disease; the impact of COVID-19 on the nation’s economy and debt and equity markets and the local economies in the Company's markets; the development, availability, utilization, and efficacy of COVID-19 testing, therapeutic agents, and vaccines and the prioritization of such resources among businesses and demographic groups; government financial and regulatory relief efforts that may become available to business and individuals, including the Company's ability to qualify for and satisfy the terms and conditions of financial relief; perceptions regarding the safety of senior living communities during and after the pandemic; changes in demand for senior living communities and the Company's ability to adapt its sales and marketing efforts to meet that demand; the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's residents’ and their families’ ability to afford its resident fees, including due to changes in unemployment rates, consumer confidence, housing markets, and equity markets caused by COVID-19; changes in the acuity levels of the Company's new residents; the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on seniors generally and those residing in the Company's communities; the duration and costs of the Company's response efforts, including increased equipment, supplies, labor, litigation, testing, vaccination clinic, health plan, and other expenses; greater use of contract labor and overtime due to COVID-19 and general labor market conditions; the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's ability to complete financings and refinancings of various assets or other transactions or to generate sufficient cash flow to cover required debt, interest, and lease payments and to satisfy financial and other covenants in its debt and lease documents; increased regulatory requirements, including the costs of unfunded, mandatory testing of residents and associates and provision of test kits to the Company's health plan participants; increased enforcement actions resulting from COVID-19; government action that may limit the Company's collection or discharge efforts for delinquent accounts; and the frequency and magnitude of legal actions and liability claims that may arise due to COVID-19 or the Company's response efforts.

Phase 4 Provider Relief Fund Grants. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company accepted and recognized as other operating income $61.1 million from the Phase 4 general distribution of the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund ("Provider Relief Fund") administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The grant has been made available to eligible healthcare providers for healthcare related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19.

Employee Retention Credit. The Company was eligible to claim the employee retention credit for certain of its associates under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 ("CARES Act"). The Company recognized $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of employee retention credits on wages paid from March 12, 2020 to December 31, 2020 within other operating income, for which the Company has received $4.6 million in cash as of September 30, 2022. The credit was modified and extended by subsequent legislation for wages paid from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $4.7 million and $9.4 million, respectively, of employee retention credits on wages paid in 2021 within other operating income. The Company has a receivable for the remaining $14.7 million included within prepaid expenses and other current assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

4. Fair Value Measurements

Marketable Securities

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, marketable securities of $89.5 million and $182.4 million, respectively, are stated at fair value based on valuations provided by third-party pricing services and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Debt

The Company estimates the fair value of its debt using a discounted cash flow analysis based upon the Company's current borrowing rate for debt with similar maturities and collateral securing the indebtedness. The Company had outstanding long-term debt with a carrying amount of approximately $3.8 billion as of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Fair value of the long-term debt is approximately $3.3 billion as of September 30, 2022 and approximates the carrying amount as of December 31, 2021. The Company's fair value of long-term debt disclosure is classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

5. Revenue

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by payor source as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Resident fee revenue by payor source is as follows.

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2022202120222021
Private pay93.6 %93.0 %93.5 %84.9 %
Government reimbursement5.1 %5.5 %5.1 %11.8 %
Other third-party payor programs1.3 %1.5 %1.4 %3.3 %

The sale of 80% of the Company's equity in its Health Care Services segment on July 1, 2021 reduced its revenue from government reimbursement programs. Refer to Note 15 for disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment.

The payment terms and conditions within the Company's revenue-generating contracts vary by contract type and payor source, although terms generally include payment to be made within 30 days. Resident fee revenue for recurring and routine monthly services is generally billed monthly in advance under the Company's independent living, assisted living, and memory care residency agreements. Resident fee revenue for standalone or certain healthcare services is generally billed monthly in arrears. Additionally, non-refundable community fees are generally billed and collected in advance or upon move-in of a resident under the Company's independent living, assisted living, and memory care residency agreements. Amounts of revenue that are collected from residents in advance are recognized as deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company had total deferred revenue (included within refundable fees and deferred revenue and other liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheets) of $74.9 million and $67.5 million, including $31.9 million and $27.5 million of monthly resident fees billed and received in advance, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $53.1 million and $56.2 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of January 1, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

6. Property, Plant and Equipment and Leasehold Intangibles, Net

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, net property, plant and equipment and leasehold intangibles, which include assets under financing leases, consisted of the following.

Assets under financing leases and leasehold improvements includes $307.8 million and $332.3 million of financing lease right-of-use assets, net of accumulated amortization, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Refer to Note 8 for further information on the Company's financing leases.

Long-lived assets with definite useful lives are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (or, in certain cases, the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term) and are tested for impairment whenever indicators of impairment arise. The Company recognized depreciation and amortization expense on its property, plant and equipment and leasehold intangibles of $86.9 million and $84.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $259.2 million and $252.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company recognized $3.8 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $5.9 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of non-cash impairment charges in its operating results for its property, plant and equipment and leasehold intangibles assets, primarily due to property damage at certain communities and decreased occupancy and future cash flow estimates at certain communities as a result of the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Long-term debt consists of the following.

(in thousands)September 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Fixed rate mortgage notes payable due 2023 through 2047; weighted average interest rate of 4.14% as of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021

11


As of September 30, 2022, 93.9%, or $3.6 billion, of the Company's total debt obligations represented non-recourse property-level mortgage financings.

As of September 30, 2022, $72.6 million of letters of credit and no cash borrowings were outstanding under the Company's $80.0 million secured credit facility maturing January 2024. The Company also had a separate secured letter of credit facility providing up to $15.0 million of letters of credit as of September 30, 2022 under which $13.9 million had been issued as of that date.

2022 Financing

On October 13, 2022, the Company obtained $220.0 million of debt secured by first priority mortgages on 24 communities. The loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of 245 basis points, and is interest only for the first three years. The debt matures in October 2025 with two one-year renewal options, exercisable subject to certain performance criteria. The debt documents contain a requirement for the Company to maintain liquidity of at least $130.0 million and 25% of the loan amount is subject to a guaranty by the Company. The proceeds from the financing were primarily utilized to repay $199.6 million of outstanding mortgage debt maturing in 2023 (which is included within long-term debt, less current portion on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022) and to purchase a SOFR interest rate swap instrument for $6.1 million. The interest rate swap instrument has a $220.0 million notional amount, a fixed interest rate of 3.0%, and a term of eighteen months.

Financial Covenants

Certain of the Company's debt documents contain restrictions and financial covenants, such as those requiring the Company to maintain prescribed minimum liquidity, net worth, and stockholders' equity levels and debt service ratios, and requiring the Company not to exceed prescribed leverage ratios, in each case on a consolidated, portfolio-wide, multi-community, single-community, and/or entity basis. In addition, the Company's debt documents generally contain non-financial covenants, such as those requiring the Company to comply with Medicare or Medicaid provider requirements and maintain insurance coverage.

The Company's failure to comply with applicable covenants could constitute an event of default under the applicable debt documents. Many of the Company's debt documents contain cross-default provisions so that a default under one of these instruments could cause a default under other debt and lease documents (including documents with other lenders and lessors). Furthermore, the Company's debt is secured by its communities and, in certain cases, a guaranty by the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants of its debt agreements.

8. Leases

As of September 30, 2022, the Company operated 295 communities under long-term leases (230 operating leases and 65 financing leases). The substantial majority of the Company's lease arrangements are structured as master leases. Under a master lease, numerous communities are leased through an indivisible lease. The Company typically guarantees the performance and lease payment obligations of its subsidiary lessees under the master leases. An event of default related to an individual property or limited number of properties within a master lease portfolio may result in a default on the entire master lease portfolio.

The leases relating to these communities are generally fixed rate leases with annual escalators that are either fixed or based upon changes in the consumer price index or the leased property revenue. The Company is responsible for all operating costs, including repairs, property taxes, and insurance. The leases generally provide for renewal or extension options from 5 to 20 years and in some instances, purchase options.

The community leases contain other customary terms, which may include assignment and change of control restrictions, maintenance and capital expenditure obligations, termination provisions and financial covenants, such as those requiring the Company to maintain prescribed minimum liquidity, net worth, and stockholders' equity levels and lease coverage ratios, in each case on a consolidated, portfolio-wide, multi-community, single-community and/or entity basis. In addition, the Company's lease documents generally contain non-financial covenants, such as those requiring the Company to comply with Medicare or Medicaid provider requirements and maintain insurance coverage.

The Company's failure to comply with applicable covenants could constitute an event of default under the applicable lease documents. Many of the Company's debt and lease documents contain cross-default provisions so that a default under one of these instruments could cause a default under other debt and lease documents (including documents with other lenders and

12


lessors). Certain leases contain cure provisions, which generally allow the Company to post an additional lease security deposit if the required covenant is not met. Furthermore, the Company's leases are secured by its communities and, in certain cases, a guaranty by the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants of its long-term leases.

Lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company recognized $1.9 million and $11.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, of non-cash impairment charges in its operating results for its operating lease right-of-use assets, primarily due to decreased occupancy and future cash flow estimates at certain communities as a result of the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and property damage sustained at certain communities. The Company recognized $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, of non-cash impairment charges in its operating results for its operating lease right-of-use assets, of which none were recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to decreased occupancy and future cash flow estimates at certain communities as a result of the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In October 2022, the Company and a lessor entered into an amendment to the Company's existing master lease pursuant to which the Company continues to lease 24 communities. The amendment removed certain asset repurchase clauses and adjusted the extension option provisions. The amendment did not change the amount of required lease payments or the initial term of the lease. The leases for certain communities are accounted for as failed sale-leaseback transactions as of September 30, 2022 and the Company expects the amended leases to result in sale accounting for such communities and a non-cash gain on sale of assets recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company expects the amended leases for such communities to be prospectively classified as operating leases subsequent to December 31, 2022, the effective date of the amendment.

9. Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures

As of September 30, 2022, the Company holds a 20% equity interest, and affiliates of HCA Healthcare Inc. ("HCA Healthcare") own an 80% interest, in the HCS Venture, and the Company has determined the HCS Venture is a VIE. The HCS Venture operates home health and hospice agencies in the United States. The Company does not consolidate this VIE because it does not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact this VIE's economic performance. The Company's interest in the HCS Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The carrying amount of the Company's investment in the unconsolidated venture and maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Company's ownership interest in the HCS Venture was $52.3 million, which is included in investment in unconsolidated ventures on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company is not required to provide financial support, through a liquidity arrangement or otherwise, to the HCS Venture.

10. Litigation

The Company has been and is currently involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of its business, which it believes are generally comparable to other companies in the senior living and healthcare industries, including, but not limited to, putative class action claims from time to time regarding staffing at the Company's communities and compliance with consumer protection laws and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Certain claims and lawsuits allege large damage amounts and may require significant costs to defend and resolve. As a result, the Company maintains general liability, professional liability, and other insurance policies in amounts and with coverage and deductibles the Company believes are appropriate, based on the nature and risks of its business, historical experience, availability, and industry standards. The Company's current policies provide for deductibles for each claim and contain various exclusions from coverage. Accordingly, the Company is, in effect, self-insured for claims that are less than the deductible amounts and for claims or portions of claims that are not covered by such policies and/or exceed the policy limits.

The senior living and healthcare industries are continuously subject to scrutiny by governmental regulators, which could result in reviews, audits, investigations, enforcement actions, or litigation related to regulatory compliance matters. In addition, the Company is subject to various government reviews, audits, and investigations to verify compliance with Medicare and Medicaid programs and other applicable laws and regulations. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") has engaged third-party firms to review claims data to evaluate appropriateness of billings. In addition to identifying overpayments, audit contractors can refer suspected violations to government authorities. An adverse outcome of government scrutiny may

14


result in citations, sanctions, other criminal or civil fines and penalties, the refund of overpayments, payment suspensions, termination of participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs, and damage to the Company's business reputation. The Company's costs to respond to and defend any such audits, reviews, and investigations may be significant.

In June 2020, the Company and several current and former executive officers were named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit alleging violations of the federal securities laws filed in the federal court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The lawsuit asserted that the defendants made material misstatements and omissions concerning the Company's business, operational and compliance policies, compliance with applicable regulations and statutes, and staffing practices that caused the Company's stock price to be artificially inflated between August 2016 and April 2020. The district court dismissed the lawsuit and entered judgment in favor of the defendants in September 2021, and the plaintiffs did not file an appeal. Between October 2020 and June 2021, alleged stockholders of the Company filed several stockholder derivative lawsuits in the federal courts for the Middle District of Tennessee and the District of Delaware, which were subsequently transferred to the Middle District of Tennessee. The derivative lawsuits are currently pending and assert claims on behalf of the Company against certain current and former officers and directors for alleged breaches of duties owed to the Company. The complaints incorporate substantively similar allegations to the securities lawsuit described above.

For the purposes of computing diluted earnings per share, weighted average shares outstanding do not include potentially dilutive securities that are anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method or if-converted method, and performance-based equity awards are included based on the attainment of the applicable performance metrics as of the end of the reporting period. The Company has the following potentially outstanding shares of common stock, which were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders in periods in which including them would have been antidilutive.

On July 26, 2020, the Company issued to Ventas, Inc. ("Ventas") a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 16.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a price per share of $3.00. The Warrant is exercisable at Ventas' option at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, until December 31, 2025. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable on exercise of the Warrant are subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, including for cash dividends, stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, non-cash distributions, certain repurchases of common stock, and business combination transactions.

As of September 30, 2022, the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible senior notes is 38.3 million (after giving effect to additional shares that would be issuable upon conversion in connection with the occurrence of certain corporate or other events).

13. Income Taxes

The difference between the Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was primarily due to the HCS Sale in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company recorded an aggregate deferred federal, state, and local tax benefit of $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, which was partially offset by an increase to the valuation allowance of $6.7 million. The Company recorded an aggregate deferred federal, state, and local tax benefit of $52.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which was partially offset by an increase to the valuation allowance of $50.7 million. The Company recorded an aggregate deferred federal, state, and local tax expense of $81.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was partially offset by a reduction to the valuation allowance of $71.8 million. The Company recorded an aggregate deferred federal, state, and local tax expense of $35.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was partially offset by a reduction to the valuation allowance of $26.5 million. The deferred income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included $104.3 million as a result of the gain on the HCS Sale, partially offset by a benefit of $69.3 million as a result of operating losses (exclusive of the HCS Sale).

The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets each quarter to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset would not be realized. The Company's valuation allowance as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $418.7 million and $368.0 million, respectively.

The increase in the valuation allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is the result of current operating losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and by the anticipated reversal of future tax liabilities offset by future tax deductions. The decrease in the valuation allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily the result of a $95.2 million reduction recorded as a result of the HCS Sale, partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance of $68.6 million established against current operating losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company recorded interest charges related to its tax contingency reserve for cash tax positions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 which are included in income tax expense or benefit for the period. As of September 30, 2022, tax returns for years 2018 through 2020 are subject to future examination by tax authorities. In addition, the net operating losses from prior years are subject to adjustment under examination.


14. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

During the period from January 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, the Company disposed of five owned communities and the Company's triple-net lease obligations on six communities were terminated (including through the acquisition of one formerly leased community). During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company completed the sale of two owned communities for cash proceeds of $4.4 million, net of transaction costs, and recognized a net gain on sale of assets of $0.7 million for these sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company completed the sale of two owned

16


communities for cash proceeds of $8.5 million, net of transaction costs, and recognized a net gain on sale of assets of $0.5 million for these sales.

On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of 80% of its equity in its Health Care Services segment to affiliates of HCA
Healthcare for a purchase price of $400.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated February 24, 2021, including a reduction for the remaining outstanding balance as of the closing of Medicare advance payments and deferred payroll tax payments related to the HCS Sale. The Company received net cash proceeds of $312.6 million, including $305.8 million at closing on July 1, 2021 and $6.8 million upon completion of the post-closing net working capital adjustment in October 2021. The Purchase Agreement also contained certain agreed upon indemnities for the benefit of the purchaser. As of July 1, 2021, the Company recognized a $100.0 million asset within investment in unconsolidated ventures on its condensed consolidated balance sheet for the estimated fair value of its retained 20% noncontrolling interest in the HCS Venture. Refer to Note 15 for selected financial data for the Health Care Services segment through June 30, 2021.

15. Segment Information

As of September 30, 2022, the Company has three reportable segments: Independent Living; Assisted Living and Memory Care; and CCRCs. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; for which separate financial information is available; and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to assess the performance of the individual segment and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. Prior to July 1, 2021, the Company had an additional reportable segment, Health Care Services. On July 1, 2021, the Company sold 80% of its equity in its Health Care Services segment. For periods beginning July 1, 2021, the results and financial position of its Health Care Services segment were deconsolidated from the Company's consolidated financial statements and its 20% equity interest in the HCS Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as of that date.

Independent Living. The Company's Independent Living segment includes owned or leased communities that are primarily designed for middle to upper income seniors who desire to live in a residential setting that feels like home, without the efforts of ownership. The majority of the Company's independent living communities consist of both independent and assisted living units in a single community, which allows residents to age-in-place by providing them with a broad continuum of senior independent and assisted living services to accommodate their changing needs.

Assisted Living and Memory Care. The Company's Assisted Living and Memory Care segment includes owned or leased communities that offer housing and 24-hour assistance with activities of daily living for the Company's residents. The Company's assisted living and memory care communities include both freestanding, multi-story communities, as well as smaller, freestanding, single story communities. The Company also provides memory care services at freestanding memory care communities that are specially designed for residents with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.

CCRCs. The Company's CCRCs segment includes large owned or leased communities that offer a variety of living arrangements and services to accommodate a broad spectrum of physical ability and healthcare needs. Most of the Company's CCRCs have independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing available on one campus.

All Other. All Other includes communities operated by the Company pursuant to management agreements. Under the management agreements for these communities, the Company receives management fees as well as reimbursement of expenses it incurs on behalf of the owners.

Health Care Services. The Company's former Health Care Services segment included the home health, hospice, and outpatient therapy services provided to residents of many of its communities and to seniors living outside its communities. The Health Care Services segment did not include the skilled nursing and inpatient healthcare services provided in the Company's skilled nursing units, which are included in the Company's CCRCs segment.

Overview

We are the nation's premier operator of senior living communities, operating and managing 672 communities in 41 states as of September 30, 2022, with the ability to serve more than 60,000 residents. We offer our residents access to a broad continuum of services across the most attractive sectors of the senior living industry. We operate and manage independent living, assisted living, memory care, and continuing care retirement communities ("CCRCs").

Our goal is to be the first choice in senior living by being the nation's most trusted and effective senior living provider and employer. Our senior living communities and our comprehensive network help to provide seniors with care and services in an environment that feels like home. Our expertise in healthcare, hospitality, and real estate provides residents with opportunities to improve wellness, pursue passions, and stay connected with friends and loved ones. By providing residents with a range of service options as their needs change, we provide greater continuity of care, enabling seniors to age-in-place, which we believe enables them to maintain residency with us for a longer period of time. The ability of residents to age-in-place is also beneficial to our residents' families who are concerned with care decisions for their elderly relatives.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the senior living industry and our business beginning in March 2020. We expect the impact of this disruption to continue into 2023 as we continue to make progress to rebuild occupancy lost due to the pandemic. The health and wellbeing of our residents and associates has been and continues to be our highest priority.

Rebuilding Occupancy. We continue to execute on key initiatives to rebuild occupancy lost due to the pandemic while maintaining rate discipline. From March 2020 through February 2021, we lost 1,330 basis points of weighted average consolidated senior housing occupancy. From February 2021 through October 2022, we increased our weighted average consolidated senior housing occupancy by 780 basis points to 77.2%. Sequentially from the second quarter of 2022, our weighted average consolidated senior housing occupancy increased by 180 basis points to 76.4% for the third quarter of 2022. The table below sets forth our recent consolidated occupancy trend.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, various communities experienced restrictions on new resident move-ins due to the pandemic, and as of October 31, 2022, all of our communities were open for new resident move-ins. We may revert to more restrictive measures at our communities, including restrictions on visitors and move-ins, if the pandemic worsens, as a result of infections at a community, as necessary to comply with regulatory requirements, or at the direction of authorities having jurisdiction. We cannot predict with reasonable certainty when our occupancy will return to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels.

Pandemic Expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $3.6 million and $15.9 million, respectively, of facility operating expense for incremental direct costs to respond to the pandemic. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $7.2 million and $44.3 million, respectively, of facility operating expense for incremental direct costs to respond to the pandemic. The direct costs include those for: acquisition of additional personal protective equipment, medical equipment, and cleaning and disposable food service supplies; enhanced cleaning and environmental sanitation; increased employee-related costs, including labor, workers' compensation, and health plan expense; and COVID-19 testing of residents and associates where not otherwise covered by government payor or third-party insurance sources. On a cumulative basis since the beginning of fiscal 2020 through September 30, 2022, we have incurred $189.2 million

24


of pandemic related facility operating expense. Refer to "Results of Operations" below for information on non-cash impairment charges recognized as a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Phase 4 Provider Relief Fund Grants. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we accepted and recognized as other operating income $61.1 million from the Phase 4 general distribution of the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund ("Provider Relief Fund") administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The grant has been made available to eligible healthcare providers for healthcare related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19.

Employee Retention Credit. We were eligible to claim the employee retention credit for certain of our associates under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 ("CARES Act"). We recognized $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of employee retention credits on wages paid from March 12, 2020 to December 31, 2020 within other operating income, for which we have received $4.6 million in cash as of September 30, 2022. The credit was modified and extended by subsequent legislation for wages paid from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $4.7 million and $9.4 million, respectively, of employee retention credits on wages paid in 2021 within other operating income. We have a receivable for the remaining $14.7 million included within prepaid expenses and other current assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

We cannot predict with reasonable certainty the impacts that COVID-19 ultimately will have on our business, results of operations, cash flow, and liquidity, and our response efforts may continue to delay or negatively impact our strategic initiatives, including plans for future growth. The ultimate impacts of COVID-19 will depend on many factors, some of which cannot be foreseen, including the duration, severity, and breadth of the pandemic and any resurgence or variants of the disease; the impact of COVID-19 on the nation's economy and debt and equity markets and the local economies in our markets; the development, availability, utilization, and efficacy of COVID-19 testing, therapeutic agents, and vaccines and the prioritization of such resources among businesses and demographic groups; government financial and regulatory relief efforts that may become available to business and individuals, including our ability to qualify for and satisfy the terms and conditions of financial relief; perceptions regarding the safety of senior living communities during and after the pandemic; changes in demand for senior living communities and our ability to adapt our sales and marketing efforts to meet that demand; the impact of COVID-19 on our residents' and their families' ability to afford our resident fees, including due to changes in unemployment rates, consumer confidence, housing markets, and equity markets caused by COVID-19; changes in the acuity levels of our new residents; the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on seniors generally and those residing in our communities; the duration and costs of our response efforts, including increased equipment, supplies, labor, litigation, testing, vaccination clinic, health plan, and other expenses; greater use of contract labor and overtime due to COVID-19 and general labor market conditions; the impact of COVID-19 on our ability to complete financings and refinancings of various assets or other transactions or to generate sufficient cash flow to cover required debt, interest, and lease payments and to satisfy financial and other covenants in our debt and lease documents; increased regulatory requirements, including the costs of unfunded, mandatory testing of residents and associates and provision of test kits to our health plan participants; increased enforcement actions resulting from COVID-19; government action that may limit our collection or discharge efforts for delinquent accounts; and the frequency and magnitude of legal actions and liability claims that may arise due to COVID-19 or our response efforts.

Community Labor

We continue to experience pressures associated with the intensely competitive labor environment. During 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the pressures included increased associate turnover, difficulty in timely filling open positions, and increasing wages. Continued increased competition for, or a shortage of, nurses or other associates, including due to the COVID-19 pandemic, general labor market conditions, low levels of unemployment, or general inflationary pressures, have required and may require that we enhance our pay and benefits package to compete effectively for such associates. We have increased our recruiting efforts to fill open positions and have increased our workforce since December 31, 2021. We have reviewed wage rates in all of our markets and made adjustments, and we will monitor to remain competitive. We seek to ensure that our communities are staffed with full and part-time associates. To cover open positions, we have increased our use of more expensive contract labor and overtime. Third-party staffing agencies from which we source contract labor have increased the rates they charge which has resulted in increases in the cost of contract labor. We expect to continue to experience labor cost pressure as a result of an anticipated increase in hours worked as our occupancy levels grow and the labor conditions described above. We are working to reduce the use of premium labor.

Our labor expense in our same community portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased 11.0% and 12.7% from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The year-over-year increase in our same community labor expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily resulted from our increased use of contract labor and overtime as well as merit and market wage rate adjustments. The year-over-year increase in our same community labor expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily resulted from our merit and market wage rate

25


adjustments, an increase in hours worked due to increased occupancy during the period, and an increase in the use of overtime, partially offset by a decrease in the use of contract labor. Our labor expense in our same community portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 1.1% sequentially from the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in hours worked by associates and an additional day, which was a holiday, partially offset by decreased use of contract labor.

Resident Fee Rates

The rates charged at communities are highly dependent on local market conditions and the competitive environment in which the communities operate. Substantially all of our private pay senior housing residency agreements allow for adjustments to the monthly rate on 90 or fewer days' notice which enables us to seek increases in monthly rates due to inflation or other factors. Increases for level of care changes or additional services are typically allowed immediately upon notice of the change. Generally, we have increased our monthly rates, including rates for care and other services, for private pay residents on an annual basis beginning January 1 each year. We made the annual rate adjustment effective January 1, 2022 for our in-place private pay residents, which was higher than our typical annual rate adjustment and resulted in a 4.5% net increase in same community RevPOR for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The rate adjustment was higher due to increased costs associated with additional efforts to serve and care for our residents during the pandemic, the current inflationary environment, and the intensely competitive labor environment. We expect our pricing actions in 2023 to incorporate labor and inflationary cost increases resulting in an annual rate increase effective January 1, 2023 that will be higher than our typical annual rate adjustment and the adjustment effective January 1, 2022.

Impacts of Hurricane Ian

On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida. We operate 77 communities that were within the path of the storm. Under our emergency evacuation plans, we evacuated nine communities prior to landfall. All of the impacted communities returned to operation. Several communities will experience some continuing disruption as storm damage is remediated. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred $0.3 million of facility operating expenses related to hurricane response and evacuation. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $3.8 million of impairment expense for property, plant, and equipment casualty losses sustained at communities as a result of Hurricane Ian.

Based on our preliminary assessments, we expect additional facility operating expense related to the hurricane response and remediation of storm damage of approximately $8.0 million, net of expected reimbursement from our property and casualty and business interruption insurance policies, for the three months ended December 31, 2022. We estimate that we will incur an additional approximately $10.0 million of capital expenditures for property remediation, primarily during the three months ended December 31, 2022, for which we expect approximately $3.0 million of reimbursement from our property and casualty insurance policies subsequent to 2022. The foregoing estimates are preliminary estimates derived by management from the information available at this time. The actual amounts and timing of amounts may differ.

Lease Amendment

In October 2022, we and a lessor entered into an amendment to our existing master lease pursuant to which we continue to lease 24 communities. The amendment removed certain asset repurchase clauses and adjusted the extension option provisions. The amendment did not change the amount of required lease payments or the initial term of the lease. The leases for certain communities are accounted for as failed sale-leaseback transactions as of September 30, 2022 and we expect the amended leases to result in sale accounting for such communities and a non-cash gain on sale of assets recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2022. In addition, we expect the amended leases for such communities to be prospectively classified as operating leases subsequent to December 31, 2022, the effective date of the amendment. We expect the reclassification of such lease costs to operating lease expense will result in an approximately $22.0 million increase in cash paid for operating leases for the full year 2023 and an offsetting decrease in cash paid for financing leases.

Sale of Health Care Services

On July 1, 2021, we completed the sale of 80% of our equity in our Health Care Services segment to affiliates of HCA Healthcare, Inc. ("HCA Healthcare") for a purchase price of $400.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated February 24, 2021, including a reduction for the remaining outstanding balance as of the closing of Medicare advance payments and deferred payroll tax payments related to the Health Care Services segment (the "HCS Sale"). We received net cash proceeds of $312.6 million, including $305.8 million at closing on July 1, 2021 and $6.8 million upon completion of the post-closing net working capital adjustment in October 2021.

26


The Purchase Agreement also contained certain agreed upon indemnities for the benefit of the purchaser. The results and financial position of the Health Care Services segment were deconsolidated from our consolidated financial statements as of July 1, 2021 and our retained 20% equity interest in the venture with HCA Healthcare ("HCS Venture") is accounted for under the equity method of accounting subsequent to that date. As of July 1, 2021, we recognized a $100.0 million asset within investment in unconsolidated ventures on our consolidated balance sheet for the estimated fair value of our retained 20% noncontrolling interest in the HCS Venture. We recognized a $286.5 million gain on sale, net of transaction costs, within our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 for the HCS Sale. Refer to Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in "Item 1. Financial Statements” for selected financial data for the Health Care Services segment through June 30, 2021.

On November 1, 2021, the HCS Venture sold certain home health, hospice, and outpatient therapy agencies in areas not served by HCA Healthcare to LHC Group Inc. Upon the completion of the sale, we received $35.0 million of cash distributions from the HCS Venture from the net sale proceeds, which decreased our investment in unconsolidated ventures. We continue to own a 20% equity interest in the remaining HCS Venture, which continues to operate home health and hospice agencies in areas served by HCA Healthcare.

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2022, our total operations included 672 communities with a capacity to serve over 60,000 residents. As of that date, we owned 346 communities (31,588 units), leased 295 communities (20,570 units), and managed 31 communities (4,605 units). The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes, which are included in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for any particular period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. Transactions completed during the period of January 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022 affect the comparability of our results of operations.

We use the operating measures described below in connection with operating and managing our business and reporting our results of operations.

Senior housing operating results and data presented on a same community basis reflect results and data of a consistent population of communities by excluding the impact of changes in the composition of our portfolio of communities. The operating results exclude natural disaster expense and related insurance recoveries. We define our same community portfolio as communities consolidated and operational for the full period in both comparison years. Consolidated communities excluded from the same community portfolio include communities acquired or disposed of since the beginning of the prior year, communities classified as assets held for sale, certain communities planned for disposition, certain communities that have undergone or are undergoing expansion, redevelopment, and repositioning projects, and certain communities that have experienced a casualty event that significantly impacts their operations. Our management uses same community operating results and data for decision making, and we believe such results and data provide useful information to investors, because it enables comparisons of revenue, expense, and other operating measures for a consistent portfolio over time without giving effect to the impacts of communities that were not consolidated and operational for the comparison periods, communities acquired or disposed during the comparison periods (or planned for disposition), and communities with results that are or likely will be impacted by completed or in-process development-related capital expenditure projects.

RevPAR, or average monthly senior housing resident fee revenue per available unit, is defined as resident fee revenue for the corresponding portfolio for the period (excluding revenue from our former Health Care Services segment, revenue for private duty services provided to seniors living outside of our communities, and entrance fee amortization), divided by the weighted average number of available units in the corresponding portfolio for the period, divided by the number of months in the period. We measure RevPAR at the consolidated level, as well as at the segment level with respect to our Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care, and CCRCs segments. Our management uses RevPAR for decision making, and we believe the measure provides useful information to investors, because the measure is an indicator of senior housing resident fee revenue performance that reflects the impact of both senior housing occupancy and rate.

RevPOR, or average monthly senior housing resident fee revenue per occupied unit, is defined as resident fee revenue for the corresponding portfolio for the period (excluding revenue from our former Health Care Services segment, revenue for private duty services provided to seniors living outside of our communities, and entrance fee amortization), divided by the weighted average number of occupied units in the corresponding portfolio for the period, divided by the number of months in the period. We measure RevPOR at the consolidated level, as well as at the segment level with respect to our Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care, and CCRCs segments. Our management uses RevPOR for decision making, and we believe the measure provides useful information to investors, because it reflects the average

27


amount of senior housing resident fee revenue we derive from an occupied unit per month without factoring occupancy rates. RevPOR is a significant driver of our senior housing revenue performance.

Weighted average occupancy rate reflects the percentage of units at our owned and leased communities being utilized by residents over a reporting period. We measure occupancy rates with respect to our Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care, and CCRCs segments, and also measure this metric both on a consolidated senior housing and a same community basis. Our management uses weighted average occupancy, and we believe the measure provides useful information to investors, because it is a significant driver of our senior housing revenue performance.

This section includes the non-GAAP performance measure Adjusted EBITDA. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for our definition of the measure and other important information regarding such measure, including reconciliations to the most comparable measure in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP").

Summary Operating Results

The following table summarizes our overall operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

(in thousands)20222021AmountPercent
Total resident fees and management fees revenue$653,215 $603,716 $49,499 8.2 %

Net income (loss)(28,374)174,263 (202,637)NM
Adjusted EBITDA106,851 34,582 72,269 NM

The increase in total resident fees and management fees revenue was primarily attributable to a 9.9% increase in same community RevPAR, comprised of a 400 basis point increase in same community weighted average occupancy and a 4.2% increase in same community RevPOR.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $66.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of government grants and employee retention credits as other operating income based on our estimates of our satisfaction of the conditions of the grants and credits during the period, including for the three months ended September 30, 2022, $61.1 million of grants from the Phase 4 general distribution from the Provider Relief Fund.

The increase in facility operating expense was primarily attributable to an 11.1% increase in same community facility operating expense, including a $33.2 million, or 11.0%, increase in our same community labor expense primarily resulting from merit and market wage rate adjustments, an increase in hours worked due to increased occupancy during the period, and an increase in the use of overtime, partially offset by a decrease in the use of contract labor. Additionally, broad inflationary pressure, higher repairs and maintenance volume, and an increase in food costs due to increased occupancy during the period contributed to the increase in our same community facility operating expense. Facility operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 includes $3.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of incremental direct costs to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The change in net income (loss) was primarily attributable to a net gain on sale of $288.2 million for the HCS Sale in the prior year period partially offset by an increase in other operating income compared to the prior year period and the net impact of the revenue and facility operating expense factors previously discussed.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to an increase in other operating income compared to the prior year period, as well as the net impact of the revenue and facility operating expense factors previously discussed.

The increase in the segment's resident fees was primarily attributable to an increase in the segment's same community RevPAR, comprised of a 350 basis point increase in same community weighted average occupancy and a 2.2% increase in same community RevPOR. The increase in the segment's same community weighted average occupancy primarily reflects the impact of our execution on key initiatives to rebuild occupancy lost due to the pandemic. The increase in the segment's same community RevPOR was primarily the result of in-place rate increases.

The increase in the segment's facility operating expense was primarily attributable to an increase in the segment's same community facility operating expense, including a $4.7 million, or 9.8%, increase in the segment's same community labor expense primarily resulting from merit and market wage rate adjustments and an increase in the use of overtime. Additionally, broad inflationary pressure, higher repairs and maintenance volume, an increase in food costs due to increased occupancy during the period, and an increase in utilities costs due to higher usage contributed to the increase in the segment's same community facility operating expense. The segment's facility operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 includes $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of incremental direct costs to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The increase in the segment's resident fees was primarily attributable to an increase in the segment's same community RevPAR, comprised of a 420 basis point increase in same community weighted average occupancy and a 4.9% increase in same community RevPOR. The increase in the segment's same community weighted average occupancy primarily reflects the impact of our execution on key initiatives to rebuild occupancy lost due to the pandemic. The increase in the segment's same community RevPOR was primarily the result of in-place rate increases, partially offset by lower care revenue as new resident acuity returned to pre-pandemic levels. The increase in the segment's resident fees was partially offset by the disposition of six communities (478 units) since the beginning of the prior year period, which resulted in $4.9 million less in resident fees during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period.

The increase in the segment's facility operating expense was primarily attributable to an increase in the segment's same community facility operating expense, including a $25.0 million, or 11.5%, increase in the segment's same community labor expense primarily resulting from merit and market wage rate adjustments, an increase in hours worked due to increased occupancy during the period, and an increase in the use of overtime, partially offset by a decrease in the use of contract labor. Additionally, broad inflationary pressure, higher repairs and maintenance volume, and an increase in food costs due to increased occupancy during the period contributed to the increase in the segment's same community facility operating expense. The increase in the segment's facility operating expense was partially offset by the disposition of communities since the beginning of the prior year period, which resulted in $4.1 million less in facility operating expense during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period.

The increase in the segment's same community RevPOR was primarily the result of in-place rate increases. The increase in the segment's same community weighted average occupancy primarily reflects the impact of our execution on key initiatives to rebuild occupancy lost due to the pandemic. The increase in the segment's resident fees was partially offset by the disposition of one community (120 units) since the beginning of the prior year period, which resulted in $2.3 million less in resident fees during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period.

The increase in the segment's facility operating expense was primarily attributable to an increase in the segment's same community facility operating expense, including a $3.5 million, or 9.7%, increase in the segment's same community labor expense primarily resulting from merit and market wage rate adjustments, an increase in hours worked due to increased occupancy during the period, and an increase in the use of overtime, partially offset by a decrease in the use of contract labor.

Management Fees. The decrease in management fees was primarily attributable to the transition of management arrangements on six net communities since the beginning of the prior year period, generally for management arrangements on interim management arrangements on formerly leased communities and certain former unconsolidated ventures in which we sold our interest.

Reimbursed Costs Incurred on Behalf of Managed Communities and Costs Incurred on Behalf of Managed Communities. The decrease in reimbursed costs and costs incurred on behalf of managed communities was primarily attributable to terminations of management agreements subsequent to the beginning of the prior year period, partially offset by an increase in reimbursed community labor costs for communities managed in both periods.

General and Administrative Expense. The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to decreases in estimated incentive compensation costs and transaction and organizational restructuring costs. General and administrative expense includes transaction and organizational restructuring costs of $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Transaction costs include those directly related to acquisition, disposition, financing and leasing activity, and are primarily comprised of legal, finance, consulting, professional fees, and other third-party costs. Organizational restructuring costs include those related to our efforts to reduce general and administrative expense and our senior leadership changes, including severance costs.

Facility Operating Lease Expense. The decrease in facility operating lease expense was primarily due to expense reductions for lease incentives received for capital expenditures since the beginning of the prior year period, expense reductions subsequent to the recognition of impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets since the beginning of the prior year period, and lease termination activity since the beginning of the prior year period.

Depreciation and Amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the completion of community renovations, apartment upgrades, and other major building infrastructure projects for leased communities since the beginning of the prior year period.

Asset Impairment. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $5.7 million of non-cash impairment charges, primarily for property damage sustained at certain communities, including property damage sustained from Hurricane Ian in September 2022.



33


Interest Expense. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in interest expense on long-term debt as a result of increases in variable interest rates, partially offset by increases in the fair value of interest rate derivatives, reflecting the impact of increases in forward interest rates. Based upon our estimates of variable interest rates we expect debt interest expense to increase approximately $17.0 million for the full year 2022 compared to 2021, which we expect will be partially offset by an approximately $4.0 million increase in interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets, net. The decrease in gain on sale of assets is due to the $288.2 million gain recognized for the HCS Sale in the prior year period.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes. The difference between our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was primarily due to the HCS Sale in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

We recorded an aggregate deferred federal, state, and local tax benefit of $7.3 million, which was partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance of $6.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. We recorded an aggregate deferred federal, state, and local tax expense of $81.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was partially offset by a reduction to the valuation allowance of $71.8 million.

We evaluate our deferred tax assets each quarter to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset would not be realized. Our valuation allowance as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $418.7 million and $368.0 million, respectively.

Net income (loss)(212,689)(17,644)(195,045)NM
Adjusted EBITDA194,741 102,627 92,114 89.8 %

The decrease in total resident fees and management fees revenue was primarily attributable to deconsolidation of results of the Health Care Services segment effective July 1, 2021, which resulted in a decrease of $174.2 million of resident fees compared to the prior year period. The decrease in resident fees was partially offset by a 10.4% increase in same community RevPAR, comprised of a 400 basis point increase in same community weighted average occupancy and a 4.5% increase in same community RevPOR. Management fee revenue decreased $7.6 million primarily due to the transition of management agreements on 44 net communities since the beginning of the prior year period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $75.5 million and $12.1 million, respectively, of government grants and employee retention credits as other operating income based on our estimates of our satisfaction of the conditions of the grants and credits during the period, including for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, $61.1 million of grants from the Phase 4 general distribution from the Provider Relief Fund.

The decrease in facility operating expense was primarily attributable to deconsolidation of results of the Health Care Services segment effective July 1, 2021, which resulted in a $171.5 million decrease in facility operating expenses. The decrease in facility operating expense was partially offset by an 11.2% increase in same community facility operating expense, including a $112.4 million, or 12.7%, increase in our same community labor expense primarily resulting from an increase in the use of contract labor and overtime as well as merit and market wage rate adjustments, partially offset by a decrease in incremental direct labor costs to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, broad inflationary pressure, higher repairs and maintenance volume, and an increase in food costs due to increased occupancy during the period contributed to the increase in

our same community facility operating expense. Facility operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 includes $15.9 million and $44.3 million, respectively, of incremental direct costs to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to the a net gain on sale of $288.2 million for the HCS Sale in the prior year period and a decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures compared to the prior year period. These changes were partially offset by an increase in other operating income compared to the prior year period, the net impact of the revenue and facility operating expense factors previously discussed, and a decrease in general and administrative expense compared to the prior year period.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to an increase in other operating income compared to the prior year period, the net impact of the revenue and facility operating expense factors previously discussed, and a decrease in general and administrative expense compared to the prior year period as a result of the HCS Sale and a decrease in estimated incentive compensation costs.

The increase in the segment's resident fees was primarily attributable to an increase in the segment's same community RevPAR, comprised of a 400 basis point increase in same community weighted average occupancy and a 4.3% increase in same community RevPOR. The increase in the segment's same community weighted average occupancy primarily reflects the impact of our execution on key initiatives to rebuild occupancy lost due to the pandemic. The increase in the segment's same community RevPOR was primarily the result of in-place rent increases and an occupancy mix shift to more skilled nursing services within the segment. The increase in the segment's resident fees was partially offset by the disposition of one community (120 units) since the beginning of the prior year period, which resulted in $6.5 million less in resident fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period.

The increase in the segment's facility operating expense was primarily attributable to an increase in the segment's same community facility operating expense, including a $12.4 million, or 11.9%, increase in the segment's same community labor expense primarily resulting from an increase in the use of contract labor and overtime as well as merit and market wage rate adjustments. The increase in the segment's facility operating expense was partially offset by the disposition of one community since the beginning of the prior year period, which resulted in $7.1 million less in facility operating expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The segment's facility operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 includes $2.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively, of incremental direct costs to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Management Fees. The decrease in management fees was primarily attributable to the transition of management arrangements on 44 net communities since the beginning of the prior year period, generally for management arrangements on certain former unconsolidated ventures in which we sold our interest and interim management arrangements on formerly leased communities.

Reimbursed Costs Incurred on Behalf of Managed Communities and Costs Incurred on Behalf of Managed Communities. The decrease in reimbursed costs and costs incurred on behalf of managed communities was primarily attributable to terminations of management agreements subsequent to the beginning of the prior year period, partially offset by an increase in reimbursed community labor costs for communities managed in both periods.

General and Administrative Expense. The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to decreases in compensation costs as a result of reductions in our corporate headcount related to the HCS Sale, estimated incentive compensation costs, transaction and organizational restructuring costs, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. General and administrative expense includes transaction and organizational restructuring costs of $0.9 million and $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Transaction costs include those directly related to acquisition, disposition, financing and leasing activity, and are primarily comprised of legal, finance, consulting, professional fees, and other third-party costs. Organizational restructuring costs include those related to our efforts to reduce general and administrative expense and our senior leadership changes, including severance costs.

Facility Operating Lease Expense. The decrease in facility operating lease expense was primarily due to expense reductions for lease incentives received for capital expenditures since the beginning of the prior year period, expense reductions subsequent to the recognition of impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets since the beginning of the prior year period, and lease termination activity since the beginning of the prior year period.

Depreciation and Amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the completion of community renovations, apartment upgrades, and other major building infrastructure projects for leased communities since the beginning of the prior year period.

Asset Impairment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $17.4 million and $13.4 million, respectively, of non-cash impairment charges, primarily for certain leased communities with decreased occupancy and future cash flow estimates as a result of the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.


39


Interest Expense. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to increases in the fair value of interest rate derivatives, reflecting the impact of increases in forward interest rates, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on long-term debt as a result of increases in variable interest rates. Based upon our estimates of variable interest rates we expect debt interest expense to increase approximately $17.0 million for the full year 2022 compared to 2021, which we expect will be partially offset by an approximately $4.0 million increase in interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Ventures. The change in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures was primarily due to the gain on sale of assets recognized by our unconsolidated entrance fee venture for the sale of the two remaining entry fee CCRCs during the prior year period. The equity in loss of unconsolidated ventures for the current year period was primarily for our share of the operating results of the new HCS Venture, including the impact of organizational restructuring costs for adjustments to its operational structure.

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets, net. The decrease in gain on sale of assets is due to the $288.2 million gain recognized for the HCS Sale in the prior year period.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes. The difference between our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was due to the HCS Sale in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

We recorded an aggregate deferred federal, state, and local tax benefit of $52.8 million, which was partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance of $50.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We recorded an aggregate deferred federal, state, and local tax expense of $35.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was partially offset by a reduction to the valuation allowance of $26.5 million. The deferred income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included $104.3 million as a result of the gain on the HCS Sale, offset by a benefit of $69.3 million as a result of operating losses (exclusive of the HCS Sale).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

This section includes the non-GAAP liquidity measure Adjusted Free Cash Flow. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for our definition of the measure and other important information regarding such measure, including reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure.

Liquidity

The following is a summary of cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, and our Adjusted Free Cash Flow.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow$(97,827)$(147,991)$50,164 33.9 %

The change in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was attributable primarily to a $64.8 million increase in government grants and credits received, an increase in same community revenue, and a decrease in general and administrative expense compared to the prior year period. These changes were partially offset by an increase in same community facility operating expense and a decrease in lessor reimbursements for capital expenditures for operating leases compared to the prior year period.


40


The change in net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was primarily attributable to $305.8 million of net proceeds from the HCS Sale received in the prior year period, a $24.8 million increase in cash paid for capital expenditures compared to the prior year period, and $6.0 million of cash paid for the acquisition of a previously leased community in the current year period. These changes were partially offset by a $60.8 million increase in proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities and a $17.7 million decrease in purchases of marketable securities compared to the prior year period.

The decrease in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to a $31.9 million decrease in repayment of debt and financing lease obligations and a $6.9 million increase in debt proceeds compared to the prior year period.

The change in Adjusted Free Cash Flow was primarily attributable to a $64.8 million increase in government grants and credits received, an increase in same community revenue, and a decrease in general and administrative expense compared to the prior year period. These changes were partially offset by an increase in same community facility operating expense compared to the prior year period and a $37.4 million increase in non-development capital expenditures, net.

Our principal sources of liquidity have historically been from:

cash balances on hand, cash equivalents, and marketable securities;
cash flows from operations;
proceeds from our credit facilities;
funds generated through unconsolidated venture arrangements;
proceeds from mortgage financing or refinancing of various assets;
funds raised in the debt or equity markets; and
proceeds from the disposition of assets.

Over the longer-term, we expect to continue to fund our business through these principal sources of liquidity. We also have received pandemic-related government relief in the form of cash grants and employee retention credits, and we have elected to utilize the pandemic-related payroll tax deferral program.

Our liquidity requirements have historically arisen from:

working capital;
operating costs such as labor costs, severance costs, general and administrative expense, and supply costs;
debt, interest, and lease payments;
acquisition consideration, lease termination and restructuring costs, and transaction and integration costs;
capital expenditures and improvements, including the expansion, repositioning, redeveloping, and major renovation of our communities and the development of new communities;
cash collateral required to be posted in connection with our financial instruments and insurance programs;
purchases of common stock under our share repurchase authorizations;
other corporate initiatives (including integration, information systems, branding, and other strategic projects); and
prior to 2009, dividend payments.

Over the near-term, we expect that our liquidity requirements will primarily arise from:

working capital;
operating costs such as labor costs, general and administrative expense, and supply costs, including those related to Hurricane Ian;
debt, interest, and lease payments;
payment of deferred payroll taxes under the CARES Act;
acquisition consideration;
transaction costs and investment in our healthcare and wellness initiatives;
capital expenditures and improvements, including the expansion, renovation, redevelopment, and repositioning of our existing communities, and the remediation or replacement of assets as a result of casualty losses;
cash collateral required to be posted in connection with our financial instruments and insurance programs; and
other corporate initiatives (including information systems and other strategic projects).

We are highly leveraged and have significant debt and lease obligations. As of September 30, 2022, we have three principal corporate-level debt obligations and credit facilities:
$230.0 million principal amount of 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2026.

41


$80.0 million secured credit facility maturing January 2024, under which $72.6 million of letters of credit and no cash borrowings have been issued as of September 30, 2022.
Separate secured letter of credit facility providing for up to $15.0 million of letters of credit as of September 30, 2022, under which $13.9 million had been issued as of that date.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $3.8 billion of debt outstanding, at a weighted average interest rate of 4.49%. As of such date, 93.9%, or $3.6 billion, of our total debt obligations represented non-recourse property-level mortgage financings. As of September 30, 2022, 61.9%, or $2.4 billion, of our long-term debt had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.94%. We are subject to market risks from changes in interest rates charged on our credit facilities and other variable rate indebtedness. As of September 30, 2022, 91% of our $1.5 billion of outstanding variable rate debt is indexed to the one-month London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") plus a weighted average margin of 233 basis points and 9% of our outstanding variable rate debt is indexed to the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a weighted average margin of 223 basis points. As of September 30, 2022, $1.3 billion, or 91%, of our variable rate debt is subject to interest rate cap agreements, and $128.7 million of our variable rate debt is not subject to any interest rate cap agreements. For our LIBOR and SOFR interest rate cap agreements as of September 30, 2022, the weighted average fixed cap rate is 4.39%, and the weighted average remaining term is 1.4 years. Many of our variable rate debt instruments include provisions that obligate us to acquire additional interest rate cap agreements upon the maturity of the existing interest rate cap agreements. The costs of acquiring additional interest rate cap agreements may offset the benefits of our existing interest rate cap agreements.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $1.3 billion of operating and financing lease obligations. For the twelve months ending September 30, 2023, we will be required to make approximately $279.1 million of cash lease payments in connection with our existing operating and financing leases.

Total liquidity of $395.6 million as of September 30, 2022 included $299.2 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash of $95.6 million), $89.5 million of marketable securities, and $6.9 million of availability on our secured credit facility. Total liquidity as of September 30, 2022 decreased $141.3 million from total liquidity of $536.8 million as of December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to negative $97.8 million of Adjusted Free Cash Flow and $28.3 million of payments of mortgage debt.

On October 13, 2022, we obtained $220.0 million of debt secured by first priority mortgages on 24 communities. The loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to the one-month SOFR plus a margin of 245 basis points, and is interest only for the first three years. The debt matures in October 2025 with two one-year renewal options, exercisable subject to certain performance criteria. The debt documents contain a requirement for us to maintain liquidity of at least $130.0 million and 25% of the loan amount is subject to a guaranty by us. The proceeds from the financing were primarily utilized to repay $199.6 million of outstanding mortgage debt maturing in 2023 and to purchase a SOFR interest rate swap instrument for $6.1 million. The interest rate swap instrument has a $220.0 million notional amount, a fixed interest rate of 3.0%, and a term of eighteen months.

As of September 30, 2022, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $75.6 million. Included in our current liabilities is $182.3 million of the current portion of operating and financing lease obligations, for which the associated right-of-use assets are excluded from current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We currently estimate our historical principal sources of liquidity, primarily our cash flows from operations, together with cash balances on hand, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. We continue to seek opportunities to preserve and enhance our liquidity, including through increasing our RevPAR, maintaining expense discipline, continuing to refinance maturing debt, continuing to evaluate our capital structure and the state of debt and equity markets, and monetizing non-strategic or underperforming owned assets. There is no assurance that financing will continue to be available on terms consistent with our expectations or at all, or that our efforts will be successful in monetizing certain assets.

Our actual liquidity and capital funding requirements depend on numerous factors, including our operating results, our actual level of capital expenditures, general economic conditions, and the cost of capital, as well as other factors described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 15, 2022. The amount of mortgage financing available for our communities is generally dependent on their appraised values and performance. In addition, our inability to satisfy underwriting criteria for individual communities may limit our access to our historical lending sources for such communities, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Due to lower operating performance of our communities, generally, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, during 2021 and 2022 we sought and obtained non-agency mortgage financings to partially refinance maturing Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae indebtedness. We have completed the refinancing of substantially all of our debt maturities due in 2022 and 2023. Our inability to obtain refinancing proceeds sufficient to cover 2024 and later maturing indebtedness could adversely impact our liquidity, and may cause us to seek additional alternative sources of financing, which may be less attractive or unavailable. Shortfalls in cash flows from estimated operating results or other principal sources of liquidity may have an adverse impact on our ability to fund our planned

42


capital expenditures, or to pursue any acquisition, investment, development, or potential lease restructuring opportunities that we identify, or to fund investments to support our strategy. In order to continue some of these activities at historical or planned levels, we may incur additional indebtedness or lease financing to provide additional funding. There can be no assurance that any such additional financing will be available or on terms that are acceptable to us.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures are comprised of community-level, corporate, and development capital expenditures. Community-level capital expenditures include recurring expenditures (routine maintenance of communities over $1,500 per occurrence and for unit turnovers over $500 per unit) and community renovations, apartment upgrades, and other major building infrastructure projects. Corporate capital expenditures include those for information technology systems and equipment, the expansion of our support platform and the remediation or replacement of assets as a result of casualty losses. Development capital expenditures include community expansions, major community redevelopment and repositioning projects, and the development of new communities.

With our development capital expenditures program, we intend to expand, renovate, redevelop, and reposition certain of our communities where economically advantageous. Certain of our communities may benefit from additions and expansions or from adding a new level of service for residents to meet the evolving needs of our customers. These development projects include converting space from one level of care to another, reconfiguration of existing units, the addition of services that are not currently present, or physical plant modifications.

The following table summarizes our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 for our consolidated business.

Total capital expenditures, net$133.2 

(1)Reflects the amount invested, net of lessor reimbursements of $18.9 million.

(2)Amount is included in Adjusted Free Cash Flow.

In the aggregate, we expect our full-year 2022 non-development capital expenditures, net of anticipated lessor reimbursements, to be approximately $170.0 million, including approximately $10.0 million of capital expenditures for property remediation resulting from the impact of Hurricane Ian based on our preliminary assessments. The foregoing amounts exclude expected reimbursement subsequent to 2022 from our property and casualty insurance policies of capital expenditures resulting from the impact of Hurricane Ian. In addition, we expect our full-year 2022 development capital expenditures to be approximately $10.0 million, net of anticipated lessor reimbursements, and such projects include those for expansion, repositioning, redeveloping, and major renovation of selected existing senior living communities. We anticipate that our 2022 capital expenditures will be funded from cash on hand, cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash flows from operations, and reimbursements from lessors.

Funding our planned capital expenditures, pursuing any acquisition, investment, development, or potential lease restructuring opportunities that we identify, or funding investments to support our strategy may require additional capital. We expect to continue to assess our financing alternatives periodically and access the capital markets opportunistically. If our existing resources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may need to sell additional equity or debt securities. Any such sale of additional equity securities will dilute the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders, and we cannot be certain that additional public or private financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any newly issued equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our common stock. If we are unable to raise additional funds or obtain them on terms acceptable to us, we may have to delay or abandon our plans.

Credit Facilities

On December 11, 2020, we entered into a revolving credit agreement with Capital One, National Association, as administrative agent and lender and the other lenders from time to time parties thereto. The agreement provides a commitment amount of up to $80.0 million which can be drawn in cash or as letters of credit. The agreement matures on January 15, 2024. Amounts drawn under the facility will bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin which was 2.75% as of September 30, 2022. Additionally, a quarterly commitment fee of 0.25% per annum was applicable on the unused portion of the facility as of September 30, 2022. The revolving credit facility is currently secured by first priority mortgages and negative pledges on certain of our communities. Available capacity under the facility will vary from time to time based upon borrowing base calculations related to the appraised value and performance of the communities securing the credit facility and the variable interest rate of the credit facility.

As of September 30, 2022, $72.6 million of letters of credit and no cash borrowings were outstanding under our $80.0 million secured credit facility and the facility had $6.9 million of availability. We also had a separate secured letter of credit facility providing up to $15.0 million of letters of credit as of September 30, 2022 under which $13.9 million had been issued as of that date.

Long-Term Leases

As of September 30, 2022, we operated 295 communities under long-term leases (230 operating leases and 65 financing leases). The substantial majority of our lease arrangements are structured as master leases. Under a master lease, numerous communities are leased through an indivisible lease. We typically guarantee the performance and lease payment obligations of our subsidiary lessees under the master leases. Due to the nature of such master leases, it is difficult to restructure the composition of our leased portfolios or economic terms of the leases without the consent of the applicable landlord. In addition, an event of default related to an individual property or limited number of properties within a master lease portfolio may result in a default on the entire master lease portfolio.

The leases relating to these communities are generally fixed rate leases with annual escalators that are either fixed or based upon changes in the consumer price index or leased property revenue. Approximately 89% of our community lease payments are subject to a weighted average maximum annual increase of 2.7% for community leases subject to fixed annual escalators or variable annual escalators based on the consumer price index subject to a cap. The remaining community lease payments are subject to variable annual escalators primarily based upon the change in the consumer price index. An additional 1% increase in the consumer price index would have resulted in additional cash lease payments of approximately $0.2 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022. We are responsible for all operating costs, including repairs, property taxes, and insurance. The lease terms generally provide for renewal or extension options from 5 to 20 years, and, in some instances, purchase options.

The community leases contain other customary terms, which may include assignment and change of control restrictions, maintenance and capital expenditure obligations, termination provisions, and financial covenants, such as those requiring us to maintain prescribed minimum liquidity, net worth, and stockholders' equity levels and lease coverage ratios. Our lease documents generally contain non-financial covenants, such as those requiring us to comply with Medicare or Medicaid provider requirements and maintain insurance coverage. Certain leases contain cure provisions, which generally allow us to post an additional lease security deposit if the required covenant is not met.

Certain of our master leases contain radius restrictions, which limit our ability to own, develop, or acquire new communities within a specified distance from certain existing communities covered by such agreements. These radius restrictions could negatively affect our ability to expand, develop, or acquire senior housing communities and operating companies.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, our cash lease payments for our operating leases were $51.7 million and $154.5 million, respectively, and for our financing leases were $17.4 million and $52.6 million, respectively. For the twelve months ending September 30, 2023, we will be required to make $279.1 million of cash lease payments in connection with our existing operating and financing leases.

Debt and Lease Covenants

Certain of our debt and lease documents contain restrictions and financial covenants, such as those requiring us to maintain prescribed minimum liquidity, net worth, and stockholders' equity levels and debt service and lease coverage ratios, and requiring us not to exceed prescribed leverage ratios, in each case on a consolidated, portfolio-wide, multi-community, single-community, and/or entity basis. Net worth is generally calculated as stockholders' equity as calculated in accordance with GAAP, and in certain circumstances, reduced by intangible assets or liabilities or increased by deferred gains from sale-

44


leaseback transactions and deferred entrance fee revenue. The debt service and lease coverage ratios are generally calculated as revenues less operating expenses, including an implied management fee and a reserve for capital expenditures, divided by the debt (principal and interest) or lease payment. In addition, our debt and lease documents generally contain non-financial covenants, such as those requiring us to comply with Medicare or Medicaid provider requirements and maintain insurance coverage.

Our failure to comply with applicable covenants could constitute an event of default under the applicable debt or lease documents. Many of our debt and lease documents contain cross-default provisions so that a default under one of these instruments could cause a default under other debt and lease documents (including documents with other lenders and lessors).

Furthermore, our debt and leases are secured by our communities and, in certain cases, a guaranty by us and/or one or more of our subsidiaries. Therefore, if an event of default has occurred under any of our debt or lease documents, subject to cure provisions in certain instances, the respective lender or lessor would have the right to declare all the related outstanding amounts of indebtedness or cash lease obligations immediately due and payable, to foreclose on our mortgaged communities, to terminate our leasehold interests, to foreclose on other collateral securing the indebtedness and leases, to discontinue our operation of leased communities, and/or to pursue other remedies available to such lender or lessor. Further, an event of default could trigger cross-default provisions in our other debt and lease documents (including documents with other lenders or lessors). We cannot provide assurance that we would be able to pay the debt or lease obligations if they became due upon acceleration following an event of default.

As of September 30, 2022, we are in compliance with the financial covenants of our debt agreements and long-term leases.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains the financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to aid investors in better understanding the factors and trends affecting our performance and liquidity. However, investors should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, including net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate non-GAAP measures in the same manner. We urge investors to review the following reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures from the most comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that we define as net income (loss) excluding: benefit/provision for income taxes, non-operating income/expense items, and depreciation and amortization; and further adjusted to exclude income/expense associated with non-cash, non-operational, transactional, cost reduction, or organizational restructuring items that management does not consider as part of our underlying core operating performance and that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods. For the periods presented herein, such other items include non-cash impairment charges, gain/loss on facility operating lease termination, operating lease expense adjustment, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and transaction and organizational restructuring costs. Transaction costs include those directly related to acquisition, disposition, financing, and leasing activity, and are primarily comprised of legal, finance, consulting, professional fees, and other third-party costs. Organizational restructuring costs include those related to our efforts to reduce general and administrative expense and our senior leadership changes, including severance.

We believe that presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure is useful to investors because (i) it is one of the metrics used by our management for budgeting and other planning purposes, to review our historic and prospective core operating performance, and to make day-to-day operating decisions; (ii) it provides an assessment of operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely revenues and the controllable cost structure of the organization, by eliminating items related to our financing and capital structure and other items that management does not consider as part of our underlying core operating performance and that management believes impact the comparability of performance between periods; and (iii) we believe that this measure is used by research analysts and investors to evaluate our operating results and to value companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as a performance measure, including: (i) excluded interest and income tax are necessary to operate our business under our current financing and capital structure; (ii) excluded depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges may represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of our communities, goodwill, and other assets

45


and may be indicative of future needs for capital expenditures; and (iii) we may incur income/expense similar to those for which adjustments are made, such as gain/loss on sale of assets, facility operating lease termination, or debt modification and extinguishment, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and transaction and other costs, and such income/expense may significantly affect our operating results.

The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA from net income (loss).

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that we define as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before: distributions from unconsolidated ventures from cumulative share of net earnings, changes in prepaid insurance premiums financed with notes payable, changes in operating lease assets and liabilities for lease termination, cash paid/received for gain/loss on facility operating lease termination, and lessor capital expenditure reimbursements under operating leases; plus: property insurance proceeds and proceeds from refundable entrance fees, net of refunds; less: non-development capital expenditures and payment of financing lease obligations. Non-development capital expenditures are comprised of corporate and community-level capital expenditures, including those related to maintenance, renovations, upgrades, and other major building infrastructure projects for our communities and is presented net of lessor reimbursements. Non-development capital expenditures do not include capital expenditures for: community expansions, major community redevelopment and repositioning projects, and the development of new communities.

We believe that presentation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a liquidity measure is useful to investors because (i) it is one of the metrics used by our management for budgeting and other planning purposes, to review our historic and prospective sources of operating liquidity, and to review our ability to service our outstanding indebtedness, pay dividends to stockholders, engage in share repurchases, and make capital expenditures, including development capital expenditures; and (ii) it provides an indicator to management to determine if adjustments to current spending decisions are needed.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow has material limitations as a liquidity measure, including: (i) it does not represent cash available for dividends, share repurchases, or discretionary expenditures since certain non-discretionary expenditures, including mandatory debt principal payments, are not reflected in this measure; (ii) the cash portion of non-recurring charges related to gain/loss on facility lease termination generally represent charges/gains that may significantly affect our liquidity; and (iii) the impact of timing of cash expenditures, including the timing of non-development capital expenditures, limits the usefulness of the measure

for short-term comparisons. Additionally, Adjusted Free Cash Flow excludes cash used to purchase interest rate cap instruments, as well as any cash provided by settlements of interest rate cap instruments.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to market risks from changes in interest rates charged on our credit facilities and other variable rate indebtedness. The impact on earnings and the value of our long-term debt are subject to change as a result of movements in market rates and prices. As of September 30, 2022, 61.9%, or $2.4 billion, of our long-term debt had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.94%. As of September 30, 2022, we had $1.5 billion of long-term variable rate debt, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.40%.

In the normal course of business, we enter into certain interest rate cap agreements with major financial institutions to manage our risk above certain interest rates on variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2022, 91% of our $1.5 billion of outstanding variable rate debt is indexed to the one-month LIBOR plus a weighted average margin of 233 basis points and 9% of our outstanding variable rate debt is indexed to the one-month SOFR plus a weighted average margin of 223 basis points. Accordingly, our annual interest expense related to variable rate debt is directly affected by movements in LIBOR or SOFR. As of September 30, 2022, $1.3 billion, or 91%, of our variable rate debt is subject to interest rate cap agreements and $128.7 million of our variable rate debt is not subject to any interest rate cap agreements. For our LIBOR and SOFR interest rate cap agreements as of September 30, 2022, the weighted average fixed cap rate is 4.39%, and the weighted average remaining term is 1.4 years. Many of our variable rate debt instruments include provisions that obligate us to acquire additional interest rate cap agreements upon the maturity of the existing interest rate cap agreements. The costs of acquiring additional interest rate cap agreements may offset the benefits of our existing interest rate cap agreements.

(2)On November 1, 2016, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a share repurchase program that authorizes us to purchase up to $100.0 million in the aggregate of our common stock. The share repurchase program is intended to be implemented through purchases made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or block trades, or by any combination of such methods, in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. The size, scope and timing of any purchases will be based on business, market and other conditions and factors, including price, regulatory and contractual requirements, and capital availability. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time at our discretion without prior notice. Shares of stock repurchased under the program will be held as treasury shares. As of September 30, 2022, $44.0 million remained available under the repurchase program.
