Third Quarter Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders of $0.14 Per Share

Third Quarter Normalized FFO of $0.44 Per Share

NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Senior Housing Properties Trust (Nasdaq: SNH) today announced its financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

“Operating results were stable during the quarter with Normalized FFO of $0.44 per share and consolidated same property Cash Basis NOI growth of 0.5%,” said David Hegarty, President and Chief Operating Officer. “We continue to reinvest the proceeds we realized earlier this year from the sale to a sovereign investor of a noncontrolling interest in our life science property leased to Vertex Pharmaceuticals in Boston. During the quarter, we purchased one medical office building for $16 million and subsequent to quarter end we acquired or entered agreements to acquire an additional four medical office buildings for $110 million and six senior living communities for $104 million.”

Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2017:

Net income attributable to common shareholders was $34.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $27.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. This increase in net income attributable to common shareholders is primarily the result of acquisitions as well as decreases in depreciation and amortization expense, asset impairment charges and interest expense. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses as a result of $8.0 million of estimated business management incentive fees recognized for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 related to SNH's outperformance of the SNL U.S. REIT Healthcare index for the applicable measurement period. Normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, were $104.0 million and $105.7 million, respectively, or $0.44 and $0.45 per diluted share, respectively, for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

Reconciliations of net income attributable to common shareholders determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, to funds from operations, or FFO, and Normalized FFO for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 appear later in this press release.

Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017:

Net income attributable to common shareholders was $82.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $98.4 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease in net income attributable to common shareholders is primarily the result of increases in general and administrative expenses and interest expense and a loss on early extinguishment of debt recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, partially offset by income from acquisitions since January 1, 2016, an increase in equity in earnings of an investee and decreases in depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition and certain other transaction related costs and asset impairment charges. Normalized FFO were $316.1 million and $327.7 million, respectively, or $1.33 and $1.38 per diluted share, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

Reconciliations of net income attributable to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP to FFO and Normalized FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 appear later in this press release.

As of September 30, 2017, our investments in life science properties constituted approximately half of our total $3.6 billion invested in MOBs.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, 14.2% of NOI came from 68 managed senior living communities with 8,807 living units. Occupancy at managed senior living communities was 85.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to 86.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Our 10 wellness centers remained 100% leased as of September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 and provided us with Cash Basis NOI of $4.4 million in each of the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

Consolidated same property Cash Basis NOI increased 0.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Reconciliations of net income determined in accordance with GAAP to same property Cash Basis NOI by operating segment for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 appear later in this press release.

Financing Activities:

In August 2017, SNH amended the agreement governing its $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. As a result of the amendment, the interest rate payable on borrowings under the facility was reduced from LIBOR plus a premium of 130 basis points per annum to LIBOR plus a premium of 120 basis points per annum, and the facility fee was reduced from 30 basis points per annum to 25 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under the facility. The interest rate premium and facility fee are each subject to adjustment based upon changes to SNH’s credit ratings. Also as a result of the amendment, the stated maturity date of the facility was extended from January 15, 2018 to January 15, 2022, and subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting other conditions, SNH has the right to extend the maturity date of the facility for an additional year. The amended facility also includes a feature pursuant to which, in certain circumstances, maximum borrowings under the facility may be increased to up to $2.0 billion.

Also in August 2017, SNH amended the agreement governing its $200.0 million unsecured term loan. As a result of the amendment, the interest rate payable on borrowings under the term loan was reduced from LIBOR plus a premium of 180 basis points per annum to LIBOR plus a premium of 135 basis points per annum.

Investment Activities:

In July 2017, SNH acquired one MOB (one building) located in Maryland with approximately 59,000 square feet for approximately $16.2 million, excluding closing costs.

In October 2017, SNH acquired two MOBs (two buildings) located in Minnesota and North Carolina with a total of approximately 255,000 square feet for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $38.7 million, excluding closing costs.

In August and October 2017, SNH entered agreements to acquire two MOBs (two buildings) located in California and Kansas with a total of approximately 302,000 square feet for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $71.1 million, excluding costs. These acquisitions are expected to close by December 31, 2017.

In November 2017, SNH entered an agreement to acquire six senior living communities from Five Star Senior Living Inc., or Five Star, (Nasdaq: FVE) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $104.0 million, including SNH’s assumption of approximately $33.7 million of mortgage debt securing certain of these senior living communities and excluding closing costs. SNH expects to enter management and pooling arrangements with Five Star to manage these senior living communities for SNH as these acquisitions occur. These acquisitions are subject to conditions, including SNH's assumption of any applicable mortgage debt and receipt of any applicable regulatory approvals. The closings of these acquisitions are expected to occur as third party approvals are received between now and the end of the first quarter of 2018.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, SNH invested approximately $14.7 million in improvements at its owned senior living communities that has generated or will generate additional rent under the terms of its existing senior living communities’ leases. SNH regularly makes additional investments at its owned MOBs and its owned and managed senior living communities that it expects may maintain or enhance the competitive positions of those properties and may increase its operating revenue from those properties.

Distributions declared	$	0.39		$	0.39	$	1.17		$	1.17

(1)			SNH calculates FFO and Normalized FFO as shown above. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which is net income attributable to common shareholders, calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties and impairment of real estate assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and the difference between net income attributable to common shareholders and FFO attributable to noncontrolling interest, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to SNH. SNH’s calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO because SNH includes business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of SNH’s core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year, and SNH excludes acquisition and certain other transaction related costs expensed under GAAP such as legal and professional fees associated with SNH's acquisition and disposition activities, gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, if any, and Normalized FFO from noncontrolling interest, net of FFO, if any. SNH considers FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income, net income attributable to common shareholders and operating income. SNH believes that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors, because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of SNH's operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by SNH’s Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to its shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain SNH’s qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in SNH’s revolving credit facility and term loan agreements and SNH’s public debt covenants, the availability to SNH of debt and equity capital, SNH’s expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance and SNH’s expected needs and availability of cash to pay its obligations. FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income attributable to common shareholders or operating income as indicators of SNH’s operating performance or as measures of SNH’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributable to common shareholders and operating income as presented in SNH’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than SNH does.

(2)			Incentive fees under SNH’s business management agreement are payable after the end of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined, and are included in general and administrative expense in SNH’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In calculating net income attributable to common shareholders in accordance with GAAP, SNH recognizes estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although SNH recognizes this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income attributable to common shareholders, SNH does not include these amounts in the calculation of Normalized FFO until the fourth quarter, when the amount of the business management incentive fee expense for the calendar year, if any, is determined.

(1)			The calculations of NOI and Cash Basis NOI exclude certain components of net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to SNH’s property level results of operations. SNH calculates NOI and Cash Basis NOI as shown above. SNH defines NOI as income from its real estate less its property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that SNH records as depreciation and amortization. SNH defines Cash Basis NOI as NOI excluding non-cash straight line rent adjustments, lease value amortization, lease termination fee amortization, if any, and non-cash amortization included in property operating expenses. SNH considers NOI and Cash Basis NOI to be appropriate supplemental measures to net income because they may help both investors and management to understand the operations of SNH’s properties. SNH uses NOI and Cash Basis NOI internally to evaluate individual and company wide property level performance, and it believes that NOI and Cash Basis NOI provide useful information to investors regarding its results of operations because these measures reflect only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of its operating performance between periods and with other REITs. NOI and Cash Basis NOI do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income attributable to common shareholders or operating income as indicators of SNH’s operating performance or as measures of SNH’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributable to common shareholders and operating income as presented in SNH’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate NOI and Cash Basis NOI differently than SNH does.
