Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

The information appearing on Diversified Healthcare Trust’s (“DHC”) website contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Also, whenever DHC uses words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “will”, “may” and negatives or derivatives of these or similar expressions, it is making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon DHC’s present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward-looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by DHC’s forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. For example: (a) Office Properties Income Trust (“OPI”) and DHC have entered into a definitive merger agreement and the proposed merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2023. However, the closing of the proposed merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions, including DHC shareholder approval and the financing or any consents or approvals required or contemplated in connection with the proposed merger, some of which are beyond DHC’s control, and DHC cannot be sure that any or all of these conditions will be satisfied or waived. Accordingly, the proposed merger may not close on the contemplated terms or at all or it may be delayed; (b) DHC shareholders are expected to benefit from an annual dividend of $1.00 per share of the combined company. However, the Board of Trustees of the combined company will consider many factors when setting distribution rates, and thus future distribution rates may be increased or decreased and DHC cannot be sure as to the rate at which future distributions will be paid; (c) the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and the terms thereof were evaluated, negotiated and recommended to DHC’s Board of Trustees by a special committee of DHC’s Board of Trustees, comprised solely of DHC’s disinterested, Independent Trustees, and were separately approved by DHC’s Independent Trustees and by DHC’s Board of Trustees. Despite this process, DHC could be subject to claims challenging the proposed merger or other transactions or DHC’s entry into the merger and related agreements because of the multiple relationships among DHC, OPI and The RMR Group LLC (“RMR”) and their related persons and entities or other reasons, and defending even meritless claims could be expensive and distracting to management; and (d) DHC’s website contains statements regarding the expectations for proposed merger and the combined company which may imply that the combined company will achieve its expected strategic and financial goals and the shareholders will benefit from the growth potential of the combined company. However, the combined company will be subject to various risks, including: the risk that the combined businesses will not be integrated successfully or that the integration will be more costly or more time-consuming and complex than anticipated; the risk that cost savings and synergies anticipated to be realized by the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; risks related to future opportunities, plans and strategy for the combined company, including the uncertainty of expected future financial performance, expected access to cash flows and capital, timing of accretion, distribution rates and results of the combined company following completion of the proposed merger and the challenges facing the industries in which each company currently operates and the combined company will, following the closing of the transaction, operate; risks related to the market value of the OPI common shares of beneficial interest to be issued in the proposed merger; risks associated with indebtedness incurred in connection with the proposed merger, including the potential inability to access, or reduced access to, the capital markets or other capital resources or increased cost of borrowings, including as a result of a credit rating downgrade; risks associated with the level of capital expenditures of each company and the combined company following the proposed merger; and risks associated with the impact of general economic, political and market factors on the combined company. As a result, the combined company may not achieve the long-term growth and value creation for shareholder as expected.

The information contained in DHC's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” or incorporated therein, also identifies important factors that could cause DHC's actual results to differ materially from those stated in or implied by DHC's forward-looking statements. DHC's filings with the SEC are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and are also accessible on DHC ’s website at the following link: SEC Filings.

You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, DHC does not intend to update or change any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Senior Housing Properties Trust Announces Fourth Quarter and Year End 2018 Results

Fourth Quarter Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders of $0.50 Per Share

Fourth Quarter Normalized FFO Attributable to Common Shareholders of $0.27 Per Share

NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Senior Housing Properties Trust (Nasdaq:SNH) today announced its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018.

Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2018:

Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $118.5 million, or $0.50 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $65.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The net loss attributable to common shareholders was primarily the result of: (1) unrealized losses on equity securities of $106.4 million, or $0.45 per share, which are included in earnings in accordance with new U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, standards effective January 1, 2018; (2) impairment charges of $61.3 million, or $0.26 per share, recognized during the quarter ended December 31, 2018; (3) dispositions since October 1, 2017; and (4) an increase in interest expense as a result of higher interest rates on SNH's debt. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was partially offset by: (1) a decrease in general and administrative expenses due to the reversal of $10.1 million, or $0.04 per share, of previously accrued business management incentive fee expense during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 and (2) acquisitions since October 1, 2017.

Normalized funds from operations attributable to common shareholders, or Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, were $65.1 million and $59.2 million, or $0.27 and $0.25 per diluted share, for the quarters ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Reconciliations of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP to funds from operations attributable to common shareholders, or FFO attributable to common shareholders, and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders for the quarters ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 appear later in this press release.

Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2018:

Net income attributable to common shareholders was $286.9 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $147.6 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase in net income attributable to common shareholders was primarily the result of: (1) $261.9 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, of net gains on the sale of properties recognized during 2018; (2) a decrease in general and administrative expenses as a result of the $40.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, of business management incentive fee expense recognized for the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of SNH's total shareholder return, as defined, exceeding the returns for the SNL U.S. REIT Healthcare index by 9.6% over the applicable measurement period compared to the $55.7 million of business management incentive fee expense recognized for the year ended December 31, 2017; and (3) acquisitions since January 1, 2017. This increase in net income attributable to common shareholders was partially offset by: (1) impairment charges of $66.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, recognized during the year ended December 31, 2018; (2) unrealized losses on equity securities of $20.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, which are included in earnings in accordance with new GAAP standards effective January 1, 2018; (3) dispositions since January 1, 2017; and (4) an increase in interest expense as a result of higher interest rates applicable to SNH's debt.

Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders were $377.3 million and $375.2 million, or $1.59 and $1.58 per diluted share, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Reconciliations of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP to FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 appear later in this press release.

(1) SNH calculates FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders as shown above. FFO attributable to common shareholders is calculated on the basis defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, which is net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of real estate and loss on impairment of real estate assets, if any, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and the difference between net income (loss) 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 attributable to common shareholders 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 or losses on early extinguishment of debt, if any, unrealized gains or losses on equity securities, net, if any, and Normalized FFO, net of FFO, from noncontrolling interest, if any. SNH considers FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. SNH believes that FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders provide useful information to investors, because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization expense, FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders may facilitate a comparison of SNH's operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders 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 for and availability of cash to pay its obligations. FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as indicators of SNH’s operating performance or as measures of SNH’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as presented in SNH’s consolidated statements of income. Other real estate companies and REITs 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 consolidated statements of income. In calculating net income (loss) 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 (loss) attributable to common shareholders, SNH does not include these amounts in the calculation of Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders until the fourth quarter, when the amount of the business management incentive fee expense for the calendar year, if any, is determined. Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders includes business management incentive fee expense of $40,642 and $55,740 for the three months and years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
(3) Unrealized losses on equity securities represent the adjustment required to adjust the carrying value of SNH's investments in RMR Inc. and Five Star common stock to their fair value as of the end of the period in accordance with new GAAP standards effective January 1, 2018.

(1) The calculations of NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI exclude certain components of net income (loss) 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 calculates same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI in the same manner that it calculates the corresponding NOI and Cash Basis NOI amounts, except that it only includes same properties in calculating same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI. SNH considers NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI to be appropriate supplemental measures to net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders because they may help both investors and management to understand the operations of SNH’s properties. SNH uses NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI to evaluate individual and company wide property level performance, and SNH believes that NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property 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, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as indicators of SNH’s operating performance or as measures of SNH’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as presented in SNH’s consolidated statements of income. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI differently than SNH does.
(2) SNH recorded a liability for the amount by which the estimated fair value for accounting purposes exceeded the price SNH paid for its investment in RMR Inc. common stock in June 2015. A portion of this liability is being amortized on a straight line basis through December 31, 2035 as a reduction to property management fees expense, which is included in property operating expenses.
