Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes forward-looking statements regarding estimated non-GAAP financial measures of initial year NOI and FFO for SpinCo, and certain NOI and FFO metrics for Ventas following the anticipated spin-off, based upon the assets currently expected to be owned by Ventas and SpinCo following the spin-off and the Ardent Health Services acquisition. NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that aids in the assessment of unlevered property-level operating results. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income. NOI is defined as total revenues, less interest and other income, and, with respect to Ventas, property-level operating expenses and medical office building services costs (in each case including amounts in discontinued operations). Cash receipts may differ due to straight line recognition of certain rental income and the application of other GAAP policies. Ventas uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition of FFO. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate property, including gain on re-measurement of equity method investments, and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Ventas believes that NOI and FFO are helpful to investors, analysts and management because they are widely recognized measures of the performance of equity REITs and provide a relevant basis for comparison of Ventas’s operating results with the operating results of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis. The non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation may not be comparable to those reported by other real estate companies due to the fact that all real estate companies do not use the same definitions. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income as indicators of operating performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as indicators of liquidity, nor are they necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund capital needs. Because certain terms of the spin-off have not yet been determined, including as to the balance sheet of SpinCo, it is not reasonably possible at this time to provide a comparable forward-looking estimation of initial year net income for SpinCo or a reconciliation to the estimated NOI and FFO figures included in this presentation. Historical GAAP financial information for Ventas is included in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with SEC, and historical GAAP financial information for SpinCo will be included in the Form 10 registration statement relating to the spin-off.
