Senior Housing Properties Trust Announces Third Quarter 2017 Results

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

Third Quarter Normalized FFO of $0.44 Per Share

Newton, MA (November 9, 2017):  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 EndedSeptember 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.

Portfolio Operating Results:

For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, 41.7% of net operating income, or NOI, came from 236 triple net leased senior living communities with 26,220 living units. The weighted average rent coverage for triple net leased senior living communities was 1.26x for the 12 month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to 1.33xfor the 12 month period ended June 30, 2016 ⁽¹⁾. Cash basis net operating income, or Cash Basis NOI, for triple net leased senior living communities owned continuously since July 1, 2016, or same property, increased 1.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, 41.3% of NOI came from 121 properties leased to medical providers, medical related businesses, clinics and biotech laboratory tenants, or MOBs, with 11.6 million leasable square feet.  As of September 30, 2017, 95.8% of MOB square feet were leased compared to 95.9% as of September 30, 2016. Same property occupancy at MOBs was 95.7% as of September 30, 2017 compared to 96.4% as of September 30, 2016. Same property Cash Basis NOI for MOBs increased 0.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016. 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. Same property occupancy at managed senior living communities was 86.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to 86.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Same property average monthly rates for managed senior living communities increased by 1.1% to $4,268 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Same property Cash Basis NOI from managed senior living communities decreased 3.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to 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.

(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 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.

Senior Housing Properties Trust Supplemental Operating and Financial Data, September 30, 2017 7 COM PAN Y PROFIL E The Company: Senior Housing Properties Trust, or SNH, we, our or us, is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, which owns independent and assisted living communities, continuing care retirement communities, skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs, wellness centers, and properties leased to medical providers, medical related businesses, clinics and biotech laboratory tenants, or MOBs, located throughout the U.S. We are included in a number of stock indices, including the S&P 400 MidCap Index, Russell 1000® Index, the MSCI US REIT Index, FTSE EPRA/NAREIT United States Index and the S&P REIT Composite Index. Management: SNH is managed by The RMR Group LLC, the operating subsidiary of The RMR Group Inc. (Nasdaq: RMR). RMR is an alternative asset management company that was founded in 1986 to manage real estate companies and related businesses. RMR primarily provides management services to four publicly owned equity REITs and three real estate related operating businesses. In addition to managing SNH, RMR manages Hospitality Properties Trust, a REIT that owns hotels and travel centers, Select Income REIT, a REIT which owns properties that are primarily leased to single tenants, and Government Properties Income Trust, a REIT that owns properties leased primarily to the U.S. government and state governments. RMR also provides management services to TravelCenters of America LLC, a publicly traded operator of travel centers along the U.S. Interstate Highway System, convenience stores and restaurants, Five Star Senior Living Inc., a publicly traded operator of senior living communities (including senior living communities that SNH owns), and Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, a privately owned franchisor and operator of hotels and cruise ships. RMR also manages publicly traded securities of real estate companies, a publicly traded mortgage REIT and private commercial real estate debt funds through wholly owned SEC registered investment advisory subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2017, RMR had $28.5 billion of real estate assets under management and the combined RMR managed companies had approximately $11 billion of annual revenues, over 1,400 properties and approximately 53,000 employees. We believe that being managed by RMR is a competitive advantage for SNH because of RMR’s depth of management and experience in the real estate industry. We also believe RMR provides management services to us at costs that are lower than we would have to pay for similar quality services.

Senior Housing Properties Trust Supplemental Operating and Financial Data, September 30, 2017 28 DEFINITIONS OF CER TAIN NON-GAA P FINANCIA L MEASURE S NOI and Cash Basis NOI 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 our property level results of operations. We calculate NOI and Cash Basis NOI as shown on page 21. We define NOI as income from our real estate less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that we record as depreciation and amortization. We define 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. We consider 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 our properties. We use NOI and Cash Basis NOI internally to evaluate individual and company wide property level performance, and we believe that NOI and Cash Basis NOI provide useful information to investors regarding our 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 our 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 our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributable to common shareholders and operating income as presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate NOI and Cash Basis NOI differently than we do. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA We calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as shown on page 26. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be appropriate supplemental measures of our operating performance, along with net income, net income attributable to common shareholders and operating income. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as interest, depreciation and amortization expense, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may facilitate a comparison of current operating performance with our past operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributable to common shareholders and operating income as presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. FFO and Normalized FFO We calculate FFO and Normalized FFO as shown on page 27. 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 us. Our calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO because we include 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 our 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 we exclude acquisition and certain other transaction related costs expensed under GAAP such as legal and professional fees associated with our 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. We consider 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. We believe 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 our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements and our public debt covenants, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance and our expected needs and availability of cash to pay our 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 our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributable to common shareholders and operating income as presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do. DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
