Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Healthpeak Properties, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, joint ventures (“JVs”), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that it controls through voting rights or other means. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Revision to Additional Paid-In Capital and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company identified and corrected immaterial errors in the classification and redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests of consolidated joint ventures in its life science segment. The Company corrected the classification of its redeemable noncontrolling interests and increased the balance to its estimated redemption value, with a corresponding decrease to additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

The increase in the unrealized value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests was largely attributable to rapidly rising rents and compressing capitalization rates in the market in which the entities operate, and was identified and corrected by management. The Company determined the impact of the adjustments to be immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, based on consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors. As such, these adjustments are reflected in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

These adjustments had no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Consolidated Statements of Operations, or any per share amounts. The Company made changes (all amounts in thousands) to the Consolidated Statements of Equity and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests to decrease APIC, total stockholders’ equity, and total equity as of March 31, 2021 by $75,543 with a corresponding increase to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $78,413 and a decrease to accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities as of March 31, 2021 of $2,870 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Government Grant Income

On March 27, 2020, the federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) to provide financial aid to individuals, businesses, and state and local governments. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company received government grants under the CARES Act primarily to cover increased expenses and lost revenue during the Covid pandemic. Grant income is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all conditions attached to the grant. Additionally, grants are recognized over the periods in which the Company recognizes the increased expenses and lost revenue the grants are intended to defray. As of March 31, 2022, the amount of qualifying expenditures and lost revenue exceeded grant income recognized and the Company believes it has complied and will continue to comply with all grant conditions. In the event of non-compliance, all such amounts received are subject to recapture.

The following table summarizes information related to government grant income received and recognized by the Company (in thousands):

Discontinued Operations

Senior Housing Triple-Net and Senior Housing Operating Portfolio Dispositions

During 2020, the Company established and began executing a plan to dispose of its senior housing triple-net and Senior Housing Operating Property (“SHOP”) properties and concluded that the planned dispositions represented a strategic shift that had and will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Therefore, senior housing triple-net and SHOP assets meeting the held for sale criteria are classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented herein. In September 2021, the Company successfully completed the disposition of the remaining senior housing triple-net and SHOP properties. See Note 4 for further information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

Government Assistance. In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance (“ASU 2021-10”), which increases the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of the types of assistance, an entity’s accounting for assistance, and the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2021-10 on January 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

Not Yet Adopted

Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform on financial reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”), which amends the scope of ASU 2020-04 to include derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 were effective immediately and may be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating whether the optional relief provided by ASU 2020-04 or ASU 2021-01 will be adopted but does not expect the adoption of these standards to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.
