Concentration of Credit Risk

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2017

Concentrations of credit risk arise when one or more tenants, operators or obligors related to the Company’s investments are engaged in similar business activities or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company regularly monitors various segments of its portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risks. The Company does not have significant foreign operations.

The following tables provide information regarding the Company’s concentrations with respect to certain tenants:



	Percentage of Gross Assets				Percentage of Revenues
	Total Company		Senior Housing Triple-Net		Total Company Revenues				Senior Housing Triple-Net Revenues
	June 30,	December 31,	June 30,	December 31,	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,		Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,

(1)	Includes revenues from 64 senior housing triple-net facilities that were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2016 and sold in March 2017.

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Brookdale managed or operated, in the Company’s SHOP segment, approximately 13% and 18%, respectively, of the Company’s real estate investments based on gross assets. Because an operator manages the Company’s facilities in exchange for the receipt of a management fee, the Company is not directly exposed to the credit risk of its operators in the same manner or to the same extent as its triple-net tenants. At June 30, 2017, Brookdale provided comprehensive facility management and accounting services with respect to 59 of the Company’s SHOP facilities and 65 SHOP facilities owned by its unconsolidated joint ventures, for which the Company or joint venture pay annual management fees pursuant to long-term management agreements. Most of the management agreements have terms ranging from 10 to 15 years, with three to four 5-year renewal periods. The base management fees are 4.5% to 5.0% of gross revenues (as defined) generated by the RIDEA facilities. In addition, there are incentive management fees payable to Brookdale if operating results of the RIDEA properties exceed pre-established EBITDAR (as defined) thresholds.

To mitigate the credit risk of leasing properties to certain senior housing and post-acute/skilled nursing operators, leases with operators are often combined into portfolios that contain cross-default terms, so that if a tenant of any of the properties in a portfolio defaults on its obligations under its lease, the Company may pursue its remedies under the lease with respect to any of the properties in the portfolio. Certain portfolios also contain terms whereby the net operating profits of the properties are combined for the purpose of securing the funding of rental payments due under each lease.
