NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. Business

HCP, Inc., a Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 company, together with its consolidated entities (collectively, “HCP” or the “Company”), invests primarily in real estate serving the healthcare industry in the United States (“U.S.”). The Company is a Maryland corporation organized in 1985 and qualifies as a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The Company is headquartered in Irvine, California, with offices in Nashville, Los Angeles, San Francisco and London. The Company acquires, develops, leases, manages and disposes of healthcare real estate, and provides financing to healthcare providers. The Company’s diverse portfolio is comprised of investments in the following healthcare segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) post-acute/skilled nursing, (iii) life science, (iv) medical office and (v) hospital.

NOTE 2. 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HCP, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, joint ventures and VIEs that it controls through voting rights or other means. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. In the opinion of management, 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, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 is intended to simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions. The areas for simplification in this update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statements of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017 to its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”). ASU 2016-08 is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU 2016-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-08 on January 1, 2018 to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 amends the current accounting for leases to (i) require lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets, but continue recognizing expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to today’s accounting, (ii) eliminate current real estate specific lease

provisions, and (iii) modify classification criteria and accounting for sales-type leases for lessors. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). This update requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. This update also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment at each reporting period. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for certain disclosure requirements. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”). ASU 2015-16 simplifies the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination by requiring the acquirer to (i) recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined, (ii) record, in the same period, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date, and (iii) present separately or disclose the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-16 on January 1, 2016; the adoption of which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 requires amendments to both the VIE and voting consolidation accounting models. The amendments (i) rescind the indefinite deferral of certain aspects of accounting standards relating to consolidations and provide a permanent scope exception for registered money market funds and similar unregistered money market funds, (ii) modify (a) the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), (b) the VIE characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (c) the primary beneficiary determination under the VIE model, and (iii) eliminate the presumption within the current voting model that a general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in ASU 2015-02 using either a modified retrospective or retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016; the adoption of which did not have a material impact to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). This update changes the requirements for recognizing revenue. ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Acquisition of Private Pay Senior Housing Portfolio (“RIDEA III”)

On June 30, 2015, the Company and Brookdale Senior Living (“Brookdale”) acquired a portfolio of 35 private pay senior housing communities from Chartwell Retirement Residences, including two leasehold interests, representing 5,025 units. The portfolio was acquired in a RIDEA structure (“RIDEA III”), with Brookdale owning a 10% noncontrolling interest. Brookdale has operated these communities since 2011 and continues to manage the communities under a long-term management agreement, which is cancellable under certain conditions (subject to a fee if terminated within seven years from the acquisition date). The Company paid $770 million in cash consideration, net of cash assumed, and assumed $32 million of net liabilities and $29 million of noncontrolling interests to acquire: (i) real estate with a fair value of $771 million, (ii) lease-up intangible assets with a fair value of $53 million and (iii) working capital of $7 million. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recognized a net termination fee of $8 million in rental and related revenues, which represents the termination value of the two leasehold interests. The lease-up intangible assets recognized were attributable to the value of the acquired underlying operating resident leases of the senior housing communities that were stabilized or nearly stabilized (i.e., resident occupancy above 80%). As of March 31, 2016, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and may be subject to change.

HCR ManorCare, Inc.

The Company acquired 334 post-acute, skilled nursing and assisted living facilities in its 2011 transaction with HCR ManorCare Inc. (“HCRMC”) and entered into a triple-net Master Lease and Security Agreement (the “Master Lease”) with a subsidiary (“Lessee”) of HCRMC.

As part of the Company’s fourth quarter 2015 review process, including its internal rating evaluation, it assessed the collectibility of all contractual rent payments under the HCRMC amended master lease (the “Amended Master Lease”). The Company’s evaluation included, but was not limited to, consideration of: (i) the continued decline in HCRMC’s operating performance and fixed charge coverage ratio during the second half of 2015, with the most significant deterioration occurring during the fourth quarter, (ii) the reduced growth outlook for the post-acute/skilled nursing business

Table of Contents

and (iii) HCRMC’s 2015 audited financial statements. The Company determined that the timing and amounts owed under the HCRMC DFL investments were no longer reasonably assured and assigned an internal rating of “Watch List” as of December 31, 2015. Further, the Company placed the HCRMC DFL investments on nonaccrual and utilizes the cash method of accounting in accordance with its policy.

As a result of assigning an internal rating of “Watch List” for its HCRMC DFL investments during the quarterly review process, the Company further evaluated the carrying amount of its HCRMC DFL investments. As a result of the significant decline in HCRMC’s fixed charge coverage ratio in the fourth quarter of 2015, combined with a lower growth outlook for the post-acute/skilled nursing business, the Company determined that it was probable that its HCRMC DFL investments were impaired and the amount of the loss could be reasonably estimated. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an allowance for DFL losses (impairment charge) of $817 million, reducing the carrying amount of its HCRMC DFL investments from $6.0 billion to $5.2 billion.

In December 2015, the Company reduced the carrying amount of its equity investment in HCRMC to zero, and income will be recognized only if cash distributions are received from HCRMC; as a result, the Company no longer recharacterizes (eliminates) its proportional ownership share of income from DFLs to equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures (see Note 7).

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company and HCRMC agreed to market for sale the real estate and operations associated with 50 non-strategic facilities that are under the Master Lease. HCRMC will receive an annual rent reduction under the Master Lease based on 7.75% of the net sales proceeds received by HCP. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company completed sales of 22 non-strategic HCRMC facilities for $219 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company sold an additional 11 facilities for $62 million, bringing the total facilities sold through May 9, 2016 to 33, with the remaining facility sales expected to close by the end of 2016.

On March 29, 2015, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into an amendment to the Master Lease (the “HCRMC Lease Amendment”) effective April 1, 2015. The HCRMC Lease Amendment reduced initial annual rent by a net $68 million from $541 million to $473 million. Commencing on April 1, 2016, the minimum rent escalation was reset to 3.0% for each lease year through the expiration of the initial term of each applicable pool of facilities. Prior to the HCRMC Lease Amendment, rent payments would have increased 3.5% on April 1, 2015 and 2016 and 3.0% thereafter. The initial term was extended five years to an average of 16 years, and the extension options’ aggregate terms remained the same.

As consideration for the rent reduction, the Company received a Deferred Rent Obligation (“DRO”) from the Lessee equal to an aggregate amount of $525 million, which was allocated into two tranches: (i) a Tranche A DRO of $275 million and (ii) a Tranche B DRO of $250 million. The Lessee made rental payments equal to 6.9% of the outstanding amount (representing $19 million) for the initial lease year until the entire Tranche A DRO was paid in full in March 2016. Commencing on April 1, 2016, until the Tranche B DRO is paid in full, the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche B DRO will be increased annually by (i) 3.0% initially, (ii) 4.0% commencing on April 1, 2019, (iii) 5.0% commencing on April 1, 2020, and (iv) 6.0% commencing on April 1, 2021 and for the remainder of its term. The DRO is due and payable on the earlier of (i) certain capital or liquidity events of HCRMC, including an initial public offering or sale, or (ii) March 31, 2029, which is not subject to any extensions. The HCRMC Lease Amendment also imposes certain restrictions on the Lessee and HCRMC until the DRO is paid in full, including with respect to the payment of dividends and the transfer of interest in HCRMC.

Additionally, HCRMC agreed to sell, and HCP agreed to purchase, nine post-acute facilities for an aggregate purchase price of $275 million. Through March 31, 2016, HCRMC and HCP completed the nine facility purchases for $275 million, the proceeds of which were used to settle the Tranche A DRO. Following the purchase of a facility, the Lessee leases such facility from the Company pursuant to the Amended Master Lease. The nine facilities contribute an aggregate of $19 million of annual rent (subject to escalation) under the Amended Master Lease.

In March 2015, the Company recorded a net impairment charge of $478 million related to its HCRMC DFL investments. The impairment charge reduced the carrying value of the HCRMC DFL investments from $6.6 billion to $6.1 billion, based on the present value of the future lease payments effective April 1, 2015 under the Amended Master Lease discounted at the original DFL investments’ effective lease rate.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized DFL income of $113 million and $152 million, respectively, and received cash payments of $113 million and $131 million, respectively, from the HCRMC DFL investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized a total of $21 million of net accretion related to its HCRMC DFL investments. The carrying value of the HCRMC DFL investments was $5.1 billion and $5.2 billion at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The Company acquired the HCRMC DFL investments in 2011 through an acquisition of a C-Corporation, which was subject to federal and state built-in gain tax, if all the assets were sold within 10 years, of up to $2 billion. At the time, the Company intended to hold the assets for at least 10 years, at which time the assets would no longer be subject to the built-in gain tax.

In December 2015, the U.S. Federal Government passed legislation which permanently reduced the holding period, for federal tax purposes, to five years. The Company satisfied the five year holding period requirement in April 2016. However, certain states still require a 10-year holding period and, as such, the assets are still subject to state built-in gain tax.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company determined that it may sell assets during the next five years and, therefore, recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $49 million representing its estimated exposure to state built-in gain tax.

On April 20, 2015, the DOJ unsealed a previously filed complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against HCRMC and certain of its affiliates in three consolidated cases following a civil investigation arising out of three lawsuits filed by former employees of HCRMC under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. The DOJ’s complaint in intervention is captioned United States of America, ex rel. Ribik, Carson, and Slough v. HCR ManorCare, Inc., ManorCare Inc., HCR ManorCare Services, LLC and Heartland Employment Services, LLC (Civil Action Numbers: 1:09cv13; 1:11cv1054; 1:14cv1228 (CMH/TCB)). The complaint alleges that HCRMC submitted claims to Medicare for therapy services that were not covered by the skilled nursing facility benefit, were not medically reasonable and necessary, and were not skilled in nature, and therefore not entitled to Medicare reimbursement. HCRMC and the DOJ have filed a motion requesting that the court adopt their Joint Proposed Discovery Plan, which establishes the scope of discovery and depositions. Under the Joint Proposed Discovery Plan, motions for summary judgment would be due to be filed in April 2017. While this litigation is at an early stage and HCRMC has indicated that it believes the claims are unjust and it will vigorously defend against them, a significant adverse judgment against HCRMC or significant settlement obligation could impact the carrying value of the Company’s HCRMC DFL investments further.

See Notes 7 and 20 for additional discussion of HCRMC.

Beginning September 30, 2013, the Company placed a 14-property senior housing DFL (the “DFL Portfolio”) on nonaccrual status and assigned an internal rating of “Watch List.” The Company determined that the collection of all rental payments was and continues to be no longer reasonably assured; therefore, rental revenue from the DFL Portfolio is recognized on a cash basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized DFL income of $3 million and $4 million, respectively, and received cash payments of $4 million and $5 million, respectively, from the DFL Portfolio. The carrying value of the DFL Portfolio was $364 million and $366 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Real Estate Secured Loans

Four Seasons Health Care. In December 2015, the Company purchased £28 million ($42 million) of Four Seasons Health Care’s (“Four Seasons”) £40 million senior secured term loan. The loan is secured by, among other things, the real estate assets of Four Seasons, and represents the most senior debt tranche. The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 6.0% per annum and matures in December 2017.

Other Secured Loans

HC-One Facility. In November 2014, the Company was the lead investor in the financing for Formation Capital and Safanad’s acquisition of NHP, a company that, at closing, owned 273 nursing and residential care homes representing over 12,500 beds in the U.K. principally operated by HC-One. The Company provided a loan facility (the “HC-One Facility”), secured by substantially all of NHP’s assets, totaling £395 million, with £363 million ($574 million) drawn at closing and has a five-year term. In February 2015, the Company increased the HC-One Facility by £108 million ($164 million) to £502 million ($795 million), in conjunction with HC-One’s acquisition of Meridian Healthcare. In April 2015, the Company converted £174 million of the HC-One Facility into a sale-leaseback transaction for 36 nursing and residential care homes located throughout the U.K. In September 2015, the Company amended and increased its commitment under the HC-One Facility by £11 million primarily for the funding of capital expenditures and a development project. As part of the amendments, the Company shortened the non-call period by 17 months and provided consent for (i) the paydown of £34 million from disposition proceeds without a prepayment premium and (ii) the spinoff of 36 properties into a separate joint venture. In return, the Company retained security over the spinoff properties for a period of two years. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company received paydowns of £34 million ($52 million). At March 31, 2016, the HC-One Facility had an outstanding balance of $395 million.

Tandem Health Care Loan. On July 31, 2012, the Company closed a mezzanine loan facility to lend up to $205 million to Tandem Health Care (“Tandem”), as part of the recapitalization of a post-acute/skilled nursing portfolio. The Company funded $100 million (the “First Tranche”) at closing and funded an additional $102 million (the “Second Tranche”) in June 2013. In May 2015, the Company increased and extended the mezzanine loan facility with Tandem to (i) fund $50 million (the “Third Tranche”) and $5 million (the “Fourth Tranche”), which proceeds were used to repay a portion of Tandem’s existing senior and mortgage debt, respectively; (ii) extend its maturity to October 2018; and (iii) extend the prepayment penalty period to January 2017. The loans bear interest at fixed rates of 12%, 14%, 6% and 6% per annum for the First, Second, Third and Fourth Tranches, respectively. At March 31, 2016, the facility had an outstanding balance of $256 million at an 11.5% blended interest rate and was subordinate to $380 million of senior mortgage debt.

The Company’s joint venture interest in HCRMC is accounted for using the equity method and results in an elimination of DFL income proportional to HCP’s ownership in HCRMC. The elimination of the respective proportional lease expense at the HCRMC level in substance resulted in $16 million of DFL income that was recharacterized to the Company’s share of earnings from HCRMC (equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures) for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Beginning in January 2016, income will be recognized only if cash distributions are received from HCRMC; as a result, the Company no longer recharacterizes (eliminates) its proportional ownership share of income from DFLs to equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures.

HCRMC. The Company concluded that its equity investment in HCRMC was other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2014, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015 and recorded impairment charges of $36 million, $27 million and $19 million, respectively. Beginning in January 2016, equity income will be recognized only if cash distributions are received from HCRMC (see Note 5).

MBK JVs. On March 30, 2015, the Company and MBK Senior Living (“MBK”), a subsidiary of Mitsui & Co. Ltd, formed a new RIDEA joint venture (“MBK JV”) that owns three senior housing facilities with the Company and MBK each owning a 50% equity interest. MBK manages these communities on behalf of the joint venture. The Company contributed $27 million of cash and MBK contributed the three senior housing facilities with a fair value of $126 million, which were encumbered by $78 million of mortgage debt at closing.

On September 25, 2015, the Company and MBK formed a new RIDEA joint venture (“MBK Development JV”), which acquired a $3 million parcel of land for the purpose of developing a 74-unit class A senior housing facility in Santa Rosa, California. The parcel of land is located adjacent to the Oakmont Gardens independent living facility currently owned and operated by the MBK JV.

Four Seasons Health Care Senior Unsecured Notes

Marketable debt securities, net are classified as held-to-maturity debt securities and primarily represent senior notes issued by Elli Investments Limited (“Elli”), a company beneficially owned by funds or limited partnerships managed by Terra Firma, as part of the financing for Elli’s acquisition of Four Seasons Health Care (the “Four Seasons Notes”). The Four Seasons Notes mature in June 2020, are non-callable through June 2016 and bear interest on their par value at a fixed rate of 12.25% per annum. The Company purchased an aggregate par value of £138.5 million of the Four Seasons Notes at a discount for £136.8 million ($215 million) in June 2012, representing 79% of the total £175 million issued and outstanding Four Seasons Notes. In June 2015 and September 2015, the Company determined that the Four Seasons Notes were other-than-temporarily impaired and recorded impairment charges of $42 million and $70 million, respectively. Elli remains obligated to repay the aggregate par value at maturity and interest payments due June 15 and December 15 each year. When the remaining semi-annual interest payments are received, the Company expects to reduce the carrying value of the Four Seasons Notes during the related fiscal period. In December 2015, the Company received its contractual interest payment of £8 million ($13 million), which was applied against the principal balance reducing the carrying amount to £58 million ($85 million and $83 million at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively).

NOTE 10. Debt

Bank Line of Credit and Term Loans

The Company’s $2.0 billion unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “Facility”) matures on March 31, 2018 and contains a one-year extension option. Borrowings under the Facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus a margin that depends upon the Company’s credit ratings. The Company pays a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends on its credit ratings. Based on the Company’s credit ratings at March 31, 2016, the margin on the Facility was 0.925%, and the facility fee was 0.15%. The Facility also includes a feature that allows the Company to increase the borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $500 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. At March 31, 2016, the Company had $810 million, including £275 million ($395 million), outstanding under the Facility with a weighted average effective interest rate of 1.68%.

The Facility and term loans contain certain financial restrictions and other customary requirements, including cross-default provisions to other indebtedness. Among other things, these covenants, using terms defined in the agreements, (i) limit the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 60%, (ii) limit the ratio of Secured Debt to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 30%, (iii) limit the ratio of Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value to 60% and (iv) require a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.5 times. The Facility and term loans also require a Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $9.5 billion at March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with each of these restrictions and requirements.

Mortgage Debt

At March 31, 2016, the Company had $895 million in aggregate principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding, which is secured by 56 healthcare facilities (including redevelopment properties) with a carrying value of $1.1 billion.

Mortgage debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments, is collateralized by real estate assets and is generally non-recourse. Mortgage debt typically restricts transfer of the encumbered assets, prohibits additional liens, restricts prepayment, requires payment of real estate taxes, requires maintenance of the assets in good condition, requires maintenance of insurance on the assets and includes conditions to obtain lender consent to enter into or terminate material leases. Some of the mortgage debt is also cross-collateralized by multiple assets and may require tenants or operators to maintain compliance with the applicable leases or operating agreements of such real estate assets.

NOTE 13. Segment Disclosures

The Company evaluates its business and makes resource allocations based on its five business segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) post-acute/skilled nursing, (iii) life science, (iv) medical office and (v) hospital. Under the medical office segment, the Company invests through the acquisition and development of medical office buildings (“MOBs”), which generally require a greater level of property management. Otherwise, the Company primarily invests, through the acquisition and development of real estate, in single tenant and operator properties and debt issued by tenants and operators in these sectors. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There were no intersegment sales or transfers during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company evaluates performance based upon (i) property net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”), (ii) adjusted NOI (cash NOI), and (iii) adjusted NOI, including the Company’s pro rata share of unconsolidated joint ventures, plus interest income (“Portfolio Income”) of the combined investments in each segment.

Non-segment assets consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, marketable equity securities and, if any, real estate held for sale. Interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and non-property specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual segments in evaluating the Company’s segment-level performance. See Note 17 for other information regarding concentrations of credit risk.

Restricted stock and certain of the Company’s performance restricted stock units are considered participating securities, because dividend payments are not forfeited even if the underlying award does not vest, which requires the use of the two-class method when computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Options to purchase approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock that had an exercise price (including deferred compensation expense) in excess of the average closing market price of the Company’s common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2016 were not included in the Company’s earnings per share calculations because they are anti-dilutive. Restricted stock and performance restricted stock units representing 0.7 million shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2016 were not included because they are anti-dilutive. Additionally, 6 million shares issuable upon conversion of 4 million DownREIT units during the three months ended March 31, 2016 were not included because they are anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company generated a net loss. The weighted-average basic shares outstanding was used in calculating diluted loss per share from continuing operations, as using diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.

NOTE 16. Variable Interest Entities

On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-02 using the modified retrospective method as permitted by the ASU. As a result of the adoption, the Company identified additional assets and liabilities of certain VIEs in its consolidated total assets and total liabilities at December 31, 2015 of $543 million and $651 million, respectively. Refer to the specific VIE descriptions below for detail on which entities were classified as consolidated VIEs subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2015-02. Additionally, the Company deconsolidated three joint ventures and recognized $0.5 million as a cumulative-effect adjustment to cumulative dividends in excess of earnings.

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

At March 31, 2016, the Company had investments in: (i) four unconsolidated VIE joint ventures; (ii) 358 properties leased to VIE tenants; and (iii) marketable debt securities of, and a loan to two VIE borrowers. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company does not consolidate these VIEs because it does not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance. Except for the Company’s equity interest in the unconsolidated joint ventures (CCRC OpCo, HCRMC OpCo, Vintage Park Development JV and LLC investments discussed below), it has no formal involvement in these VIEs beyond its investments.

The Company leases 310 properties to, and has an equity ownership investment in, HCRMC that has been identified as a VIE upon a reconsideration event in the fourth quarter of 2015. HCRMC has experienced continued operational declines and is a “thinly capitalized” entity that relies on the operating cash flows generated from its senior housing and post-acute facilities to fund operating expenses, including the rent obligations under the Amended Master Lease (see Notes 5 and 7).

The Company leases 48 properties to a total of seven tenants that have been identified as VIEs (“VIE tenants”). These VIE tenants are “thinly capitalized” entities that rely on the operating cash flows generated from the senior housing facilities to pay operating expenses, including the rent obligations under their leases.

The Company holds a 49% ownership interest in CCRC OpCo, a joint venture entity formed in August 2014 that operates senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure, that has been identified as a VIE (see Note 7). The equity members of CCRC OpCo “lack power” because they share certain operating rights with Brookdale as manager of the CCRCs. The assets of CCRC OpCo primarily consist of the CCRCs that it owns and leases, resident fees receivable, notes receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of operating lease obligations to CCRC PropCo and accounts payable and expense accruals associated with the cost of its CCRCs’ operations. Assets generated by the CCRC

Table of Contents

operations (primarily rents from CCRC residents) of CCRC OpCo may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily the rental costs and operating expenses incurred to manage such facilities).

The Company holds Four Seasons Notes (see Note 9) and a portion of Four Season’s senior secured term loan (see Note 6). In the second quarter of 2015, upon the occurrence of a reconsideration event, it was determined that the issuer of the Four Seasons Notes is a VIE because this entity is “thinly capitalized.”

The Company holds an 85% ownership interest in Vintage Park Development JV (see Note 7) that has been identified as a VIE. Although power is shared among equity members, one equity member does not have a substantive investment in the entity. The assets of Vintage Park Development JV primarily consist of an in-progress independent living facility development project that it owns and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of accounts payable and expense accruals associated with the cost of the development obligations. Any assets generated by Vintage Park Development JV may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily development expenses and debt service payments).

The Company holds a limited partner ownership interest in an unconsolidated LLC that has been identified as a VIE. The Company’s involvement in the entity is limited to its equity investment as a limited partner, and it does not have any ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity. The assets and liabilities of the entity primarily consist of senior housing real estate and development activities. Any assets generated by the entity may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily development expenses and debt service payments).

The Company holds commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie MAC”) through a special purpose entity that has been identified as a VIE because it is “thinly capitalized.” The CMBS issued by the VIE are backed by mortgage debt obligations on real estate assets.

The classification of the related assets and liabilities and their maximum loss exposure as a result of the Company’s involvement with these VIEs at March 31, 2016 are presented below (in thousands):


	Maximum Loss			Carrying
VIE Type	Exposure(1)		Asset/Liability Type	Amount
HCRMC	$	5,107,180	Net investment in DFLs and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures	$	5,107,180
VIE tenants—DFLs		598,960	Net investment in DFLs		598,960
VIE tenants—operating leases		9,952	Lease intangibles, net and straight-line rent receivables		9,952
CCRC OpCo		230,275	Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures		230,275
Four Seasons		124,108	Loans and marketable debt securities		124,108
Vintage Park Development JV		8,593	Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures		8,593
CMBS and LLC investments		32,944	Marketable debt and cost method investments		32,944

(1)

The Company’s maximum loss exposure related to HCRMC, VIE tenants, CCRC OpCo, Vintage Park Development JV, loan and marketable debt securities, and LLC investments to VIE borrowers represents the aggregate carrying amount of such investments (including accrued interest). The Company’s maximum loss exposure may be mitigated by re-leasing the underlying properties to new tenants upon an event of default.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company has not provided, and is not required to provide, financial support through a liquidity arrangement or otherwise, to its unconsolidated VIEs, including circumstances in which it could be exposed to further losses (e.g., cash shortfalls). See Notes 5, 6, 7 and 9 for additional descriptions of the nature, purpose and operating activities of the Company’s unconsolidated VIEs and interests therein.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

RIDEA I. The Company holds a 90% ownership interest in joint venture entities formed in September 2011 that own and operate senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure (“RIDEA I”). The Company has historically classified RIDEA I OpCo as a VIE and, as a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-02, now classifies RIDEA I PropCo as a VIE as well due to the non-managing member having no substantive participating rights in the management of RIDEA I PropCo or kick-out rights over the managing member. The Company consolidates RIDEA I PropCo and RIDEA I OpCo as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic

Table of Contents

performance. The assets of RIDEA I PropCo primarily consist of leased properties (net real estate), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of notes payable to a non-VIE consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The assets of RIDEA I OpCo primarily consist of leasehold interests in senior housing facilities (operating leases), resident fees receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of lease payments to RIDEA I PropCo and operating expenses of its senior housing facilities (accounts payable and accrued expenses). Assets generated by the senior housing operations (primarily from senior housing resident rents) of the RIDEA I structure may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from the rental costs, operating expenses incurred to manage such facilities and debt costs).

RIDEA II. The Company holds an 80% ownership interest in joint venture entities formed in August 2014 that own and operate senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure (“RIDEA II”). The Company consolidates RIDEA II (“SH PropCo” and “SH OpCo”) as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance.

See Note 20 for additional discussion of potential RIDEA II transactions.

RIDEA III. The Company holds a 90% ownership interest in joint venture entities formed in June 2015 that own and operate senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure (“RIDEA III”). The Company has historically classified RIDEA III OpCo as a VIE and, as a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-02, now classifies RIDEA III PropCo as a VIE as well due to the non-managing member having no substantive participating rights in the management of RIDEA III PropCo or kick-out rights over the managing member. The Company consolidates RIDEA III PropCo and RIDEA III OpCo as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance. The assets of RIDEA III PropCo primarily consist of leased properties (net real estate), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of a note payable to a non-VIE consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The assets of RIDEA III OpCo primarily consist of leasehold interests in senior housing facilities (operating leases), resident fees receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of lease payments to RIDEA III PropCo and operating expenses of its senior housing facilities (accounts payable and accrued expenses).

HCP Ventures V, LLC. The Company holds a 51% ownership interest in and is the managing member of a joint venture entity formed in October 2015 that owns and leases real estate assets (“HCP Ventures V, LLC”). Upon adoption of ASU 2015-02, the Company classified HCP Ventures V, LLC as a VIE due to the non-managing member having no substantive participating rights in the management of the HCP Ventures V, LLC or kick-out rights over the managing member. The Company consolidates HCP Ventures V, LLC as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance.

Assets generated by the HCP Ventures V, LLC may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from capital expenditures).

Vintage Park JV. The Company holds a 90% ownership interest in a joint venture entity formed in January 2015 that owns an 85% interest in an unconsolidated development VIE (“Vintage Park JV”). Upon adoption of ASU 2015-02, the Company classified Vintage Park JV as a VIE due to the non-managing member having no substantive participating rights in the management of the Vintage Park JV or kick-out rights over the managing member. The Company consolidates Vintage Park JV as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The assets of Vintage Park JV primarily consist of an investment in the Vintage Park Development JV and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of funding the ongoing development of

Table of Contents

the Vintage Park Development JV. Assets generated by the Vintage Park JV may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from the funding of the Vintage Park Development JV).

DownREIT Partnerships. The Company holds a controlling ownership interest in and is the managing member of five partnerships organized in downREIT structures (the “DownREIT Partnerships”). Upon adoption of ASU 2015-02, the Company classified the DownREIT Partnerships as VIEs due to the non-managing members having no substantive participating rights in the management of the DownREIT Partnerships or kick-out rights over the managing member. The Company consolidates the DownREIT Partnerships as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance. The assets of the DownREIT Partnerships primarily consist of leased properties (net real estate), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of debt service payments and capital expenditures for the properties. Assets generated by the DownREIT Partnerships (primarily from resident rents) may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from debt service and capital expenditures).

Other Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships. The Company holds a controlling ownership interest in and is the general partner (or managing member) of multiple partnerships that own and lease real estate assets (the “Partnerships”). Upon adoption of ASU 2015-02, the Company classified the Partnerships as VIEs due to the limited partners (non-managing members) having no substantive participating rights in the management of the Partnerships or kick-out rights over the general partner (managing member). The Company consolidates the Partnerships as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance and its right (or obligation) to the majority of the returns (or losses). The assets of the Partnerships primarily consist of leased properties (net real estate), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of debt service payments and capital expenditures for the properties. Assets generated by the Partnerships (primarily from resident rents) may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from debt service and capital expenditures).

Other consolidated VIEs. The Company made a loan to an entity that entered into a tax credit structure (“Tax Credit Subsidiary”) and a loan to an entity that made an investment in a development joint venture (“Development JV”) both of which are considered VIEs. The Company consolidates the Tax Credit Subsidiary and Development JV because it is the primary beneficiary as it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance. The assets and liabilities of the Tax Credit Subsidiary and Development JV substantially consist of development in progress, notes receivable, prepaid expenses, notes payable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities generated from their operating activities. Any assets generated by the operating activities of the Tax Credit Subsidiary and Development JV may only be used to settle their contractual obligations.

NOTE 17. Concentration of Credit Risk

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 risks. The Company does not have significant foreign operations.

The following tables provide information regarding the Company’s concentrations with respect to certain tenants and operators; the information provided is presented for the gross assets and revenues that are associated with certain tenants and operators as percentages of their respective segment’s and total Company’s gross assets and revenues:

As of March 31, 2016, Brookdale provided comprehensive facility management and accounting services with respect to 108 of the Company’s senior housing facilities and 15 CCRCs owned by the CCRC JV, 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 renewals. 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.

Brookdale is subject to the registration and reporting requirements of the SEC and is required to file with the SEC annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. The information related to Brookdale contained or referred to in this report has been derived from SEC filings made by Brookdale or other publicly available information, or was provided to the Company by Brookdale, and the Company has not verified this information through an independent investigation or otherwise. The Company has no reason to believe

that this information is inaccurate in any material respect, but the Company cannot assure the reader of its accuracy. The Company is providing this data for informational purposes only, and encourages the reader to obtain Brookdale’s publicly available filings, which can be found at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

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.

NOTE 18. Fair Value Measurements

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table illustrates the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2016 in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):


Financial Instrument(1)	Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Marketable equity securities	$	24	$	24	$	—	$	—
Interest-rate swap liabilities		7,384		—		7,384		—
Currency swap assets		2,469		—		2,469		—
Warrants		16		—		—		16

(1)

Interest-rate and currency swaps, as well as common stock warrant fair values, are determined based on observable and unobservable market assumptions utilizing standardized derivative pricing models.

Recognized gains and losses are recorded in other income, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy.

Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities – The carrying values are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Loans receivable, net and mortgage debt – The fair values are based on discounting future cash flows utilizing current market rates for loans and debt of the same type and remaining maturity.

Marketable debt securities – The fair value is based on quoted prices from inactive markets.

Marketable equity securities and senior unsecured notes – The fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets.

Warrants – The fair value is based on significant unobservable market inputs utilizing standardized derivative pricing models.

Bank line of credit, term loans and other debt – The carrying values are reasonable estimates of fair value because the borrowings are primarily based on market interest rates and the Company’s current credit ratings.

Interest-rate swaps – The fair value is based on observable inputs utilizing standardized pricing models that consider forward yield curves and discount rates which are observable in active and inactive markets.

Currency swaps – The fair value is based on observable inputs utilizing standardized pricing models that consider the future value of the currency exchange rates, comprised of current spot and traded forward points, and calculating a present value of the net amount using discount rates based on observable traded interest rates.

Table of Contents

The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations on specific forecasted transactions as well as recognized financial obligations or assets. Utilizing derivative instruments allows the Company to manage the risk of fluctuations in interest and foreign currency rates related to the potential impact these changes could have on future earnings and forecasted cash flows. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

The primary risks associated with derivative instruments are market and credit risk. Market risk is defined as the potential for loss in value of a derivative instrument due to adverse changes in market prices. Credit risk is the risk that one of the parties to a derivative contract fails to perform or meet their financial obligation. The Company does not obtain collateral associated with its derivative contracts, but monitors the credit standing of its counterparties on a regular basis. Should a counterparty fail to perform, the Company would incur a financial loss to the extent that the associated derivative contract was in an asset position. At March 31, 2016, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties to its outstanding derivative contracts.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company determined a portion of a cash flow hedge was ineffective and reclassified $0.1 million of unrealized gains related to this interest-rate swap contract into other income, net. The Company expects that the hedged forecasted transactions for each of the outstanding qualifying cash flow hedging relationships at March 31, 2016 remain probable of occurring, and as a result, no additional gains or losses recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified to earnings for any other outstanding hedges, other than those discussed above.

To illustrate the effect of movements in the interest rate and foreign currency markets, the Company performed a market sensitivity analysis on its outstanding derivative financial instruments. The Company applied various basis point spreads to the underlying interest rate curves and foreign currency exchange rates of the derivative portfolio in order to determine the instruments’ change in fair value. The following table summarizes the results of the analysis performed (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 20. Subsequent Events

In May 2016, the Company announced its intention to spin off interests in 338 properties (including 17 facility sales expected to close by the end of 2016 and potentially before completion of the spin off), primarily comprised of its HCRMC DFL investments, and its equity investment in HCRMC OpCo, into an independent, publicly-traded REIT (“SpinCo”). The spin-off is expected to be effectuated through a pro rata special distribution of SpinCo’s common shares to HCP stockholders and will be treated as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the SEC declaring effective a registration statement for the SpinCo common share to be distributed, filing and approval of SpinCo to be listed on an exchange, customary third party consents, and formal approval and declaration of the distribution by the Company’s Board of Directors. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2016. The Company may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed transaction is complete, abandon the spin-off or modify or change its terms.

In May 2016, the Company entered into a master contribution agreement to contribute its interests in RIDEA II to an unconsolidated joint venture owned 50.1% by HCP and 49.9% by an investor group led by Columbia Pacific Advisors, LLC (“CPA”) (the “HCP/CPA JV”). In return, the Company will receive $109 million in cash proceeds from the HCP/CPA JV, a $636 million note receivable (“Note”) and retain an approximately 40% beneficial interest in RIDEA II. This transaction, upon completion, would result in the Company deconsolidating the net assets of RIDEA II because it will not direct the activities that most significantly impact the venture. The Company further expects that the members will recapitalize RIDEA II, at which time the Company expects to receive cash proceeds in payment against the Note. The closing of these transactions are expected to occur in 2016 and remain subject to regulatory and third party approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Executive Summary

HCP, Inc., a Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 company, invests primarily in real estate serving the healthcare industry in the United States. We are a Maryland corporation organized in 1985 and qualify as a self-administered REIT. We acquire, develop, lease, manage and dispose of healthcare real estate, and provide financing to healthcare providers. At March 31, 2016, our portfolio of investments, including properties in our unconsolidated joint ventures, consisted of interests in 1,200 facilities.

We invest and manage our real estate portfolio for the long-term to maximize the benefit to our stockholders and support the growth of our dividends. The core elements of our strategy are: (i) to acquire, develop, lease, own and manage a diversified portfolio of quality healthcare properties across multiple business segments and geographic locations (including Europe); (ii) to align ourselves with leading healthcare companies, operators and service providers, which over the long-term should result in higher relative rental rates, net operating cash flows and appreciation of property values; (iii) to allocate capital targeting a balanced portfolio between longer-term escalating triple-net leases with high-quality tenants, and operating businesses with shorter-term leases in our medical office and life science segments; (iv) to maintain adequate liquidity with long-term fixed rate debt financing with staggered maturities, which supports the longer-term nature of our investments, while reducing our exposure to interest rate volatility and refinancing risk at any point in the interest rate or credit cycles; and (v) to continue to manage our balance sheet with a targeted financial leverage of 40% relative to our assets.

Table of Contents

We believe that our longer-term escalating triple-net leases with larger tenants and operators having scale enhance the quality, stability and growth of our rental income. Further, we believe many of our existing properties hold the potential for increased future cash flows as they are well maintained and in desirable locations within markets where the creation of new supply is limited by the lack of available sites and the difficulty of obtaining the necessary licensing, other approvals and/or financing. Our strategy for maximizing the benefits from these opportunities is to: (i) work with new or existing tenants and operators to address their space and capital needs; and (ii) provide high-quality property management services in order to motivate tenants to renew, expand or relocate into our properties.

The delivery of healthcare services requires real estate and, as a result, tenants and operators depend on real estate, in part, to maintain and grow their businesses. We believe that the healthcare real estate market provides investment opportunities due to the: (i) compelling long-term demographics driving the demand for healthcare services; (ii) specialized nature of healthcare real estate investing; and (iii) ongoing consolidation of the fragmented healthcare real estate sector.

While we emphasize healthcare real estate ownership, we may also provide real estate secured financing to, or invest in equity or debt securities of, healthcare operators or other entities engaged in healthcare real estate ownership. We may also acquire all or substantially all of the securities or assets of other REITs, operating companies or similar entities where such investments would be consistent with our investment strategies. We may co-invest alongside institutional or development investors through partnerships or limited liability companies.

We monitor, but do not limit, our investments based on the percentage of our total assets that may be invested in any one property type, investment vehicle or geographic location, the number of properties that may be leased to a single tenant or operator, or loans that may be made to a single borrower. In allocating capital to our multiple segments, we target opportunities with the most attractive risk/reward profile for our portfolio as a whole. We may take additional measures to mitigate risk, including diversifying our investments (by sector, geography, tenant or operator), structuring transactions as master leases, requiring tenant or operator insurance and indemnifications, and obtaining credit enhancements in the form of guarantees, letters of credit or security deposits.

Our REIT qualification requires us to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains); therefore, we do not retain capital. As a result, we regularly access the public equity and debt markets to raise the funds necessary to finance acquisitions and debt investments, develop and redevelop properties, and refinance maturing debt.

We maintain a disciplined balance sheet by actively managing our debt to equity levels and maintaining multiple sources of liquidity, such as our revolving line of credit facility, access to capital markets and secured debt lenders, relationships with current and prospective institutional joint venture partners, and our ability to divest assets. Our debt obligations are primarily long-term fixed rate with staggered maturities, which reduces the impact of rising interest rates on our operations.

We finance our investments based on our evaluation of available sources of funding. For short-term purposes, we may utilize our revolving line of credit facility or arrange for other short-term borrowings from banks or other sources. We arrange for longer-term financing by offering debt and equity securities, placing mortgage debt and obtaining capital from institutional lenders and joint venture partners.

2016 Transaction Overview

HCR ManorCare, Inc.

Spin-Off of Real Estate Portfolio

In May 2016, we announced our intention to spin off interests in 338 properties (including 17 facility sales expected to close by the end of 2016 and potentially before completion of the spin off), primarily comprised of our HCRMC DFL investments, and equity investment in HCRMC OpCo, into an independent, publicly-traded REIT (“SpinCo”). The spin-off is expected to be effectuated through a pro rata special distribution of SpinCo’s shares to HCP stockholders and will be treated as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the SEC declaring effective a registration statement for the SpinCo common share to be distributed, filing and approval of SpinCo to be listed on an exchange, customary third party consents, and formal approval and declaration of the distribution by the our Board of Directors. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2016. We may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed transaction is complete, abandon the spin-off or modify or change its terms.

First Quarter Operating Performance

For the first quarter 2016, HCRMC reported normalized EBITDAR of $131 million, which was up $22 million, or 20% sequentially, driven by a 110 basis point increase in core post-acute/skilled nursing occupancy. On a year-over-year basis, normalized EBITDAR decreased $27 million, or 17%, primarily due to a weaker flu season, continued pressure from payor mix shift, and shorter lengths of stay, as well as transaction costs and operational disruption from the non-strategic asset sales. HCRMC’s normalized fixed charge coverage ratio for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2016 was 1.06x and for the trailing three months was 1.11x.

HCRMC ended the quarter with $174 million of cash and cash equivalents and continues to be current on its obligations under the amended master lease.

Transaction Activity

During the quarter, we completed 11 of the 50 non-strategic asset sales, generating proceeds of $62 million. Inclusive of this amount, we expect to receive $130 million during 2016, bringing total anticipated sales proceeds from all 50 facilities to $350 million. We expect the remaining 17 assets to close by year end. In addition, we completed the final transfer of the nine facilities that were part of the HCRMC lease amendment representing $275 million of value received in the fee ownership of these recently built post-acute facilities.

In February 2016, we acquired a new 64-bed memory care facility in Easton, Pennsylvania for $15 million that opened in January 2016, which is located adjacent to our existing post-acute facility that is currently 94% occupied. The facility was developed by HCRMC and was added to its master lease with a term of 16 years.

Accounting and Income Tax Update

We acquired the HCRMC DFL investments in 2011 through an acquisition of a C-Corporation, which was subject to federal and state built-in gain tax, if all the assets were sold within 10 years, of up to $2 billion. At the time, we intended to hold the assets for at least 10 years, at which time the assets would no longer be subject to the built-in gain tax.

In December 2015, the U.S. Federal Government passed legislation which permanently reduced the holding period, for federal tax purposes, to five years. We satisfied the five year holding period requirement in April 2016. However, certain states still require a 10-year holding period and, as such, the assets are still subject to state built-in gain tax.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we determined that we may sell assets during the next five years and, therefore, recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $49 million representing our estimated exposure to state built-in gain tax.

See Notes 5 and 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of HCRMC, which information is incorporated by reference herein.

Investment Transactions

In January 2016, we acquired a portfolio of five private pay senior housing communities with 364 units and one skilled nursing facility with 120 beds for $95 million. All of the communities were developed within the past two years and are triple-net leased to four regional operators.

We entered into definitive agreements to acquire a portfolio of seven private pay senior housing communities for $190 million, including the assumption of $75 million of debt maturing in 2044 at a 4.0% rate. Consisting of 526 assisted living and memory care units, the portfolio will be managed by Senior Lifestyle Corporation in a 100% owned RIDEA structure at closing. We anticipate that the transaction will close during the second half of 2016.

The Cove Development

We have pre-leased approximately 50% of The Cove Phase I, which consists of two buildings totaling up to 250,000 square feet, expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2016. In response to Phase I leasing success and continued strong demand from life science users in South San Francisco, in February 2016, we commenced the $185 million development The Cove Phase II, which adds two Class A buildings totaling up to 230,000 square feet expected to be delivered by the third quarter of 2017.

Capital Recycling and Financing Activities

In May 2016, we entered into a master contribution agreement to contribute our interests in the RIDEA II joint venture (“RIDEA II”) to an unconsolidated joint venture owned 50.1% by HCP and 49.9% by an investor group led by Columbia Pacific Advisors, LLC (“CPA”) (the “HCP/CPA JV”). In return, we will receive $109 million in cash proceeds from the HCP/CPA JV, a $636 million note receivable (“Note”) and retain an approximately 40% beneficial interest in RIDEA II. This transaction, upon completion, would result in us deconsolidating the net assets of RIDEA II because we will not direct the activities that most significantly impact the venture. We further expect that the members will recapitalize RIDEA II, at which time we expect to receive cash proceeds in payment against the Note. The closing of these transactions are expected to occur in 2016 and remain subject to regulatory and third party approvals and other customary closing conditions.

In April 2016, we sold a life science facility and a medical office building for $90 million.

In February 2016, we refinanced $500 million of maturing unsecured debt using proceeds from our December 2015 offering of senior unsecured notes.

In January 2016, we entered into a sale agreement for a purchase option that was exercised on four life science facilities in South San Francisco, CA for $310 million. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2016.

Dividends

On April 27, 2016, we announced that our Board declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.575 per share. The common stock dividend will be paid on May 24, 2016 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 9, 2016.

Results of Operations

We evaluate our business and allocate resources among our business segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) post-acute/skilled nursing, (iii) life science, (iv) medical office and (v) hospital. Under the senior housing, post-acute/skilled nursing, life science and hospital segments, we primarily invest, through acquisition and development, in single operator or tenant properties and debt issued by operators in these sectors. Under the medical office segment, we invest, through acquisition and development, in single or multi-tenant medical office buildings (“MOBs”), which generally require a greater level of property management.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

NOI and adjusted NOI are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate. NOI is defined as rental and related revenues, including tenant recoveries, resident fees and services, and income from direct financing leases (“DFLs”), less property level operating expenses; NOI excludes all other financial statement amounts included in net income (loss) as presented in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes NOI provides relevant and useful information because it reflects only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents them on an unleveraged basis. Adjusted NOI is calculated as NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-line rents, DFL non-cash interest, amortization of market lease intangibles and lease termination fees. Adjusted NOI is oftentimes referred to as “cash NOI.” We use NOI and adjusted NOI to make decisions about resource allocations, to assess and compare property level performance, and evaluate our same property portfolio (“SPP”), as described below. We believe that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measure to NOI. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of operating performance to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP since it does not reflect various excluded items. Further, our definition of NOI may not be comparable to the definition used by other REITs or real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. NOI and adjusted NOI are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures; for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI and adjusted NOI and other relevant disclosure, refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating expenses generally relate to leased medical office and life science properties and senior housing RIDEA properties. We generally recover all or a portion of our leased medical office and life science property expenses through tenant recoveries. We present expenses as operating or general and administrative based on the underlying nature of the expense. Periodically, we review the classification of expenses between categories and make revisions based on changes in the underlying nature of the expenses.

Same Property Portfolio

SPP NOI and adjusted NOI information allows us to evaluate the performance of our property portfolio under a consistent population by eliminating changes in the composition of our portfolio of properties. We identify our SPP as stabilized properties that remained in operations and were consistently reported as leased properties or RIDEA properties for the duration of the year over year comparison periods presented, excluding assets held for sale. Accordingly, it takes a stabilized property a minimum of 12 months in operations under a consistent reporting structure to be included in our SPP. Newly acquired operating assets are generally considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up (typically when the tenant(s) control(s) the physical use of at least 80% of the space) or 12 months from the acquisition date. Newly completed developments and redevelopments are considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up or 24 months from the date the property is placed in service. SPP NOI excludes certain non-property specific operating expenses that are allocated to each operating segment on a consolidated basis. SPP adjusted NOI excludes the effects of foreign exchange rate movements by using the average current period exchange rate to translate from British pound sterling (“GBP”) into U.S. dollar (“USD”) for the comparison periods. A property is removed from our SPP when it is sold, placed into redevelopment or changes its reporting structure.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

We believe FFO applicable to common shares, diluted FFO applicable to common shares, and diluted FFO per common share are important supplemental non-GAAP measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets utilizes straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that use historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. The term FFO was designed by the REIT industry to address this issue.

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), is net income (loss) applicable to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable property, including any taxes directly associated with sales of depreciable property, impairments of, or related to, depreciable real

Table of Contents

estate, plus real estate and DFL depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for joint ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss). We compute FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition; however, other REITs may report FFO differently or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from ours.

In addition, we present FFO before the impact of severance-related charges, litigation settlement charges, preferred stock redemption charges, impairments (recoveries) of non-depreciable assets, foreign currency remeasurement losses (gains) and transaction-related items (defined below) (“FFO as adjusted”). Transaction-related items include acquisition and pursuit costs (e.g., due diligence and closing) and gains/charges incurred as a result of mergers and acquisitions and lease amendment or termination activities. Management believes that FFO as adjusted provides a meaningful supplemental measurement of our FFO run-rate. This measure is a modification of the NAREIT definition of FFO and should not be used as an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) or NAREIT FFO. FFO and FFO as adjusted are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures; for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and FFO as adjusted and other relevant disclosure, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” below.

Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”)

FAD is defined as FFO as adjusted after excluding the impact of the following: (i) amortization of acquired market lease intangibles, net; (ii) amortization of deferred compensation expense; (iii) amortization of deferred financing costs, net; (iv) straight-line rents; (v) non-cash interest and depreciation related to DFLs and lease incentive amortization (reduction of straight-line rents); and (vi) deferred revenues, excluding amounts amortized into rental income that are associated with tenant funded improvements owned/recognized by us and up-front cash payments made by tenants to reduce their contractual rents. Also, FAD is: (i) computed after deducting recurring capital expenditures, including leasing costs and second generation tenant and capital improvements; and (ii) includes lease restructure payments and adjustments to compute our share of FAD from our unconsolidated joint ventures and those related to CCRC non-refundable entrance fees. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating FAD, and accordingly, our FAD may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. Although our FAD computation may not be comparable to that of other REITs, management believes FAD provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our performance and is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. FAD does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. FAD is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure; for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FAD, as defined, and other relevant disclosure, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” below.

________________________________________

(1) For the reconciliations, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” section below.

FAD decreased $0.03 per share primarily as a result of: (i) the rent reduction from the 2015 HCRMC lease amendment (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) effective April 1, 2015, (ii) reduction in interest income from placing our Four Seasons senior notes (“Four Seasons Notes”) on cost recovery method in the third quarter of 2015 (see Note 9 to

Table of Contents

the Consolidated Financial Statements) and (iii) reduction in interest income from loan repayments during 2015. The decrease was partially offset by increased NOI from our 2015 acquisitions and the other assets in our SPP, excluding our HCRMC DFL investments.

FFO as adjusted decreased $0.10 primarily as a result of the aforementioned items impacting FAD and reduction in income related to our HCRMC investments due to the change in income recognition method to cash basis accounting in January 2016 (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

FFO and earnings per share (“EPS”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 included a $478 million impairment related to our HCRMC DFL investments (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), which were partially offset by the aforementioned events impacting FFO as adjusted. There were no impairments recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Additionally, EPS for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 included income tax expenses of $53 million related to our estimated exposure to state built-in gain taxes.

Segment NOI and Adjusted NOI

The tables below provide selected operating information for our SPP and total property portfolio for each of our business segments. Our consolidated SPP for the three months ended March 31, 2016 consists of 1,063 properties representing properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized on or prior to January 1, 2015 and that remained in operations under a consistent reporting structure through March 31, 2016. Our consolidated total property portfolio consist of 1,168 and 1,101 properties at March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

From our past presentation of SPP for the three months ended March 31, 2015, we removed a MOB from SPP that was sold.

SPP NOI and Adjusted NOI. SPP NOI and adjusted NOI increased as a result of annual rent escalations and increased occupancy.

Total Portfolio NOI and Adjusted NOI. In addition to the impact of our SPP, our total portfolio NOI and adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of the impact of our MOB acquisitions in 2015.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, 403,000 square feet of new and renewal leases commenced at an average annual base rent of $22.15 per square foot compared to 469,000 square feet of expiring and terminated leases with an average annual base rent of $23.91 per square foot.

NOI and Adjusted NOI. SPP and total portfolio NOI and adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of additional rents earned in 2016 due to exceeding pre-established thresholds and annual rent escalations.

Other Income and Expense Items

Interest income

Interest income decreased $15 million to $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily the result of: (i) a change in interest income recognition on our investment in the Four Seasons Notes (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), (ii) loan repayments during 2015 and (iii) reduced incremental interest income from our share in the appreciation of the underlying real estate asset from the repayment of a development loan in 2015.

Investment management fee income

Investment management fee income decreased $0.4 million to $91,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily the result of the sales of real estate from HCP Ventures III, LLC and HCP Ventures IV, LLC in December 2015 and January 2016.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $5 million to $122 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily the result of: (i) our senior unsecured notes issuances during 2015 and (ii) increased borrowings under our line of credit facility. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by repayments of senior unsecured notes and mortgage debt that matured during 2015 and 2016. The increased borrowings were used to fund our investment activities and to refinance our debt maturities.

Our exposure to expense fluctuations related to our variable rate indebtedness is substantially mitigated by our interest-rate swap contracts. For a more detailed discussion of our interest rate risk, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 3.

At March 31, 2016 and 2015, excludes $95 million and $96 million, respectively, of other debt that represents non-interest bearing life care bonds and occupancy fee deposits at certain of our senior housing facilities and demand notes that have no scheduled maturities. At March 31, 2016 and 2015, principal balances of $71 million of variable-rate mortgages and £357 million ($513 million and $530 million, respectively) of term loans are presented as fixed-rate debt as the interest payments were swapped from variable to fixed (see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $27 million to $141 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily the result of the impact of our acquisitions and redevelopment projects placed in service during 2015.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $1 million to $25 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily the result of higher professional fees.

Acquisition and pursuit costs

Acquisition and pursuit costs decreased $1 million to $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower levels of transactional activity in 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

Impairment

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized an impairment charge of $478 million related to our HCRMC DFL investments (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Gain on sales of real estate

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we sold eight senior housing facilities for $51 million, recognizing a gain on the sales of $6 million.

Income tax (expense) benefit

Income taxes increased $53 million to an expense of $53 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily the result of recognizing tax liabilities of $53 million representing our estimated exposure to state built-in gain tax, of which $49 million is related to our HCRMC DFL investments (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Equity (loss) income from unconsolidated joint ventures

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized equity loss from unconsolidated joint ventures of $1 million compared to equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures of $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of a change in income recognition on our equity investment in HCRMC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We anticipate: (i) funding recurring operating expenses, (ii) meeting debt service requirements including principal payments and maturities, and (iii) satisfying our distributions to our stockholders and non-controlling interest members, for the next 12 months primarily by using cash flow from operations, available cash balances and cash from our various financing activities.

Our principal investing needs for the next 12 months are to:

fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs; and

fund future acquisition, transactional and development activities.

We anticipate satisfying these future investing needs using one or more of the following:

issuance of common or preferred stock;

issuance of additional debt, including unsecured notes and mortgage debt;

draws on our credit facilities; and/or

sale or exchange of ownership interests in properties.

Access to capital markets impacts our cost of capital and ability to refinance maturing indebtedness, as well as our ability to fund future acquisitions and development through the issuance of additional securities or secured debt. Credit ratings impact our ability to access capital and directly impact our cost of capital as well. For example, as noted below, our

Table of Contents

revolving line of credit facility accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin that depends upon our credit ratings. We also pay a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends upon our credit ratings. As of April 29, 2016, we had a credit rating of BBB+ from Fitch, Baa1 from Moody’s and BBB+ from S&P on our senior unsecured debt securities.

Cash Flow Summary

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.

Cash and cash equivalents were $95 million and $347 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, representing a decrease of $252 million. The following table sets forth changes in cash flows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015		Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	268,617	$	230,068	$	38,549
Net cash used in investing activities		(165,757)		(328,286)		162,529
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities		(354,402)		51,722		(406,124)

The decrease in operating cash flow is the result of a net paydown of working capital. Our cash flow from operations is dependent upon the occupancy levels of our buildings, rental rates on leases, our tenants’ performance on their lease obligations, the level of operating expenses and other factors.

The following are significant investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016:

made investments of $341 million (development and acquisition of real estate, and investments in DFLs, unconsolidated joint ventures and loans) and received repayments of $155 million primarily from DFL sales;

paid dividends on common stock of $268 million, which were generally funded by cash provided by our operating activities and cash on hand; and

raised proceeds of $457 million primarily from our net borrowings under our bank line of credit and issuances of common stock and repaid $537 million of senior unsecured notes and mortgage debt.

Debt

Bank Line of Credit and Term Loan

Our $2.0 billion unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “Facility”) matures on March 31, 2018 and contains a one-year extension option. Borrowings under the Facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus a margin that depends upon our credit ratings. We pay a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends on our credit ratings. Based on our credit ratings at April 29, 2016, the margin on the Facility was 0.925%, and the facility fee was 0.15%. The Facility also includes a feature that will allow us to increase the borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $500 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. At March 31, 2016, we had $810 million, including £275 million ($395 million), outstanding under the Facility with a weighted average effective interest rate of 1.68%.

The Facility and term loans contain certain financial restrictions and other customary requirements, including cross-default provisions to other indebtedness. Among other things, these covenants, using terms defined in the agreements, (i) limit the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 60%, (ii) limit the ratio of Secured Debt to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 30%, (iii) limit the ratio of Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value to 60% and (iv) require a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.5 times. The Facility and term loans also require a Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $9.5 billion at March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with each of these restrictions and requirements.

Table of Contents

Senior Unsecured Notes

At March 31, 2016, we had senior unsecured notes outstanding with an aggregate principal balance of $8.7 billion. Interest rates on the notes ranged from 2.79% to 6.88% with a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.72% and a weighted average maturity of six years at March 31, 2016. The senior unsecured notes contain certain covenants including limitations on debt, maintenance of unencumbered assets, cross-acceleration provisions and other customary terms. We believe we were in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2016.

Mortgage Debt

At March 31, 2016, we had $895 million in aggregate principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding, which is secured by 56 healthcare facilities (including redevelopment properties) with a carrying value of $1.1 billion. At March 31, 2016, interest rates on the mortgage debt ranged from 3.11% to 8.35% with a weighted average effective interest rate of 6.22% and a weighted average maturity of two years.

Mortgage debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments, is collateralized by real estate assets and is generally non-recourse. Mortgage debt typically restricts transfer of the encumbered assets, prohibits additional liens, restricts prepayment, requires payment of real estate taxes, requires maintenance of the assets in good condition, requires maintenance of insurance on the assets, and includes conditions to obtain lender consent to enter into and terminate material leases. Some of the mortgage debt is also cross-collateralized by multiple assets and may require tenants or operators to maintain compliance with the applicable leases or operating agreements of such real estate assets.

Equity

At March 31, 2016, we had 467 million shares of common stock outstanding, equity totaled $9.6 billion, and our equity securities had a market value of $15.4 billion.

At March 31, 2016, non-managing members held an aggregate of 4 million units in five limited liability companies (“DownREITs”) for which we are the managing member. The DownREIT units are exchangeable for an amount of cash approximating the then-current market value of shares of our common stock or, at our option, shares of our common stock (subject to certain adjustments, such as stock splits and reclassifications).

At-The-Market Program

In June 2015, we established an At-The-Market Program, in connection with the renewal of our Shelf Registration Statement. Under this program, we may sell shares of our common stock from time to time having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $750 million through a consortium of banks acting as sales agents or directly to the banks acting as principals. There was no activity during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Actual future sales will depend upon a variety of factors, including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell the remaining shares available for sale under our program.

Shelf Registration

We filed a prospectus with the SEC as part of a registration statement on Form S-3ASR, using a shelf registration process, which expires in June 2018. Under the “shelf” process, we may sell any combination of the securities described in the prospectus through one or more offerings. The securities described in the prospectus include common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities and warrants.

Capital Market Outlook

The capital markets have facilitated our continued growth, including our international expansion. For the 15 months ended March 31, 2016, we have raised $2.0 billion in senior unsecured notes and originated a £220 million ($333 million) four-year unsecured term loan. The capital raised, in combination with available cash and borrowing capacity under our Facility, supported $2.5 billion of investments completed during 15 months ended March 31, 2016. We believe our equity and debt investors, as well as our banking relationships, will provide additional capital as we pursue new investment opportunities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We own interests in certain unconsolidated joint ventures as described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Except in limited circumstances, our risk of loss is limited to our investment in the joint venture and any outstanding loans receivable (see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, we have certain properties which serve as collateral for debt that is owed by a previous owner of certain of our facilities. Our risk of loss for these certain properties is limited to the outstanding debt balance plus penalties, if any. We have no other material off-balance sheet arrangements that we expect would materially affect our liquidity and capital resources except those described above under “Contractual Obligations.”

Inflation

Our leases often provide for either fixed increases in base rents or indexed escalators, based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures, and/or additional rent based on increases in the tenants’ operating revenues. Most of our MOB leases require the tenant to pay a share of property operating costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and utilities. Substantially all of our senior housing, life science, post-acute/skilled nursing and hospital leases require the tenant or operator to pay all of the property operating costs or reimburse us for all such costs. We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be offset, in part, by the tenant or operator expense reimbursements and contractual rent increases described above.

(1)

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, other impairment of $478 million relates to our HCRMC DFL investments.

(2)

Our equity investment in HCRMC is accounted for using the equity method, which requires an elimination of DFL income that is proportional to our ownership in HCRMC. Further, our share of earnings from HCRMC (equity income) increases for the corresponding elimination of related lease expense recognized at the HCRMC entity level, which we present as a non-cash joint venture FAD adjustment. Beginning in January 2016, equity income is recognized only if cash distributions are received from HCRMC. As a result, we no longer eliminate our proportional ownership share of income from DFLs to equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures for our equity investment in HCRMC.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of the adoption of new accounting standards; our critical accounting policies have not changed during 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, specifically the GBP. We use derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value (see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

To illustrate the effect of movements in the interest rate and foreign currency markets, we performed a market sensitivity analysis on our hedging instruments. We applied various basis point spreads to the underlying interest rate curves and foreign currency exchange rates of the derivative portfolio in order to determine the change in fair value. Assuming a one percentage point change in the underlying interest rate curve and foreign currency exchange rates, the estimated change in fair value of each of the underlying derivative instruments would not exceed $5 million (see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Interest Rate Risk. At March 31, 2016, we are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates primarily on variable rate debt, which has been predominately hedged through interest-rate swap contracts.

Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt and assets until their maturity or earlier prepayment and refinancing. If interest rates have risen at the time we seek to refinance our fixed rate debt, whether at maturity or otherwise, our future earnings and cash flows could adversely be affected by additional borrowing costs. Conversely, lower interest rates at the time of refinancing may reduce our overall borrowing costs. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. Conversely, changes in interest rates on variable rate debt and investments would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. Assuming a one percentage point increase in the interest rate related to the variable-rate debt and variable-rate investments, and assuming no other changes in the outstanding balance as of March 31, 2016, our annual interest expense would increase by approximately $7 million, or $0.01 per common share on a diluted basis.

Foreign Currency Risk. At March 31, 2016, our exposure to foreign currencies primarily relates to U.K. investments in leased real estate, senior notes and related GBP denominated cash flows. Our foreign currency exposure is partially mitigated through the use of GBP denominated borrowings and foreign currency swap contracts. Based solely on our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016, including the impact of existing hedging arrangements, if the value of the GBP relative to the USD were to increase or decrease by 10% compared to the average exchange rate during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, our cash flows would have decreased or increased, as applicable, by less than $1 million.

Market Risk. We have investments in marketable debt securities classified as held-to-maturity because we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization of premiums and discounts through maturity. We consider a variety of factors in evaluating an other-than-temporary decline in value, such as: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than our current adjusted carrying value; the issuer’s financial condition, capital strength and near-term prospects; any recent events specific to that issuer and economic conditions of its industry; and our investment horizon in relationship to an anticipated near-term recovery in the market value, if any. At March 31, 2016, both the fair and carrying value of marketable debt securities was $101 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2016. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The following updates the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015:

The proposed spin-off of our interests in 338 properties, primarily consisting of our HCRMC DFL investments and our equity investment in HCRMC OpCo, into an independent, publicly-traded REIT (“SpinCo”) may not be completed on the currently contemplated timeline or terms, or at all, and may not achieve the intended benefits.

In May 2016, we announced our intention to spin-off our interests in 338 properties (including 17 facility sales expected to close by the end of 2016 and potentially before completion of the spin-off), primarily consisting of our HCRMC DFL investments and our equity investment in HCRMC OpCo, into SpinCo. We expect to complete the proposed spin-off transaction in the second half of 2016. Unforeseen developments could delay or prevent the spin-off transaction or cause the spin-off transaction to occur on terms or conditions that are less favorable or different than anticipated. The conditions required to complete the spin-off transaction may not be satisfied, and expenses incurred to accomplish the spin-off transaction could be significantly higher than we currently anticipate.

Item 5. Other Information

Appointment of Michael D. McKee as Executive Chairman and David B. Henry as Lead Independent Director

On May 6, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed Michael D. McKee to serve as our Executive Chairman, and David B. Henry to serve as its Lead Independent Director, each effective immediately.

The Board has determined that having an Executive Chairman is appropriate for us as it ensures that Board leadership and management maintain close communications and retain a strong working relationship. In his role as Executive Chairman, Mr. McKee will continue to lead the Board, and joins our executive team with a focus on strategic growth and leadership development. He will confer with Lauralee E. Martin, our President and Chief Executive Officers, on matters of strategic importance, while allowing Ms. Martin to focus more closely on day-to-day management. We believe that Mr. McKee, with his extensive experience and history with HCP dating back to 1989, is in an optimal position to provide support and guidance to our management team.

In addition, the Board appointed Mr. Henry, a member of the Board since 2004, to the position of Lead Independent Director. In his role as Lead Independent Director, Mr. Henry will serve as the principal liaison between Mr. McKee and the independent members of the Board, preside at all executive sessions at which only independent directors are present, consult with Mr. McKee regarding Board meeting agendas and schedules, and communicate with our stockholders, as appropriate.

In light of Mr. McKee’s appointment as Executive Chairman, and consistent with applicable NYSE rules, he has resigned from his service on the Compensation and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board, effective immediately.

Mr. McKee will not receive any fees for his service as Chairman of the Board while he is serving as our Executive Chairman, but will receive the following compensation for 2016 in respect of his services as Executive Chairman:

Base Salary – $500,000, which for 2016 will be pro-rated based on the portion of 2016 during which he serves as Executive Chairman, and paid in a single lump sum in early 2017;

Cash Incentive – target cash bonus opportunity equal to the greater of $1,000,000 or an amount determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, payable in February 2017 on a pro-rated basis based on the portion of 2016 during which he serves as Executive Chairman; and

Long-Term Equity Award – an at-risk long-term equity award grant of restricted stock units relating to HCP common stock with a grant date fair value of $2,500,000, vesting over a three-year period, generally subject to Mr. McKee’s continued service as our Executive Chairman through the applicable vesting date or an earlier termination due to Mr. McKee’s death, disability or retirement.

Mr. McKee will also be eligible to participate in the HCP, Inc. Executive Severance Plan and HCP, Inc. Executive Change in Control Severance Plan, each as described in more detail below. Mr. McKee’s compensation will be reviewed on an annual basis by the Compensation Committee beginning in 2017

Adoption of Executive Severance Plan

On May 6, 2016, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board approved the HCP, Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Executive Plan”), effective as of the same date. The Committee determined that the adoption of the Executive Plan in lieu of entering into individual employment agreements with our executives was consistent with compensation best practices.

The Executive Plan is intended to provide severance benefits to employees selected by the Committee to participate, including Lauralee E. Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer; Michael D. McKee, Executive Chairman; J. Justin Hutchens, Chief Investment Officer; and Thomas M. Klaritch, Executive Vice President — Medical Office Properties (the “Named Executives”), upon a termination of employment by us without “cause” (as defined in the Executive Plan) other

than in circumstances in which the participant would receive benefits under the HCP, Inc. Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (the “CIC Plan”). An individual who has an employment agreement with us will become eligible to participate in the Executive Plan upon the employment agreement’s expiration, if selected by the Committee.

Upon a qualifying termination of employment, a Named Executive will generally be entitled to receive the following benefits: (1) cash installment payments equal to two times the sum of (a) the Named Executive’s base salary plus (b) the target bonus in effect for the year of termination plus (c) the expected cost of the Named Executive’s COBRA premiums for medical coverage for 12 months; and (2) a lump sum cash payment equal to the Named Executive’s pro-rated annual cash incentive award amount for the year of termination, paid at such time as the award would have been paid had the Named Executive not been terminated.

In addition, the Named Executive’s outstanding unvested equity awards (other than performance-based awards) will generally become fully vested, except that unvested restricted stock unit awards will continue to vest according to their terms for 24 months, at which time any awards that remain unvested will become fully vested. The Named Executive’s outstanding performance-based equity awards will continue in accordance with their terms with respect to the performance requirements, although such awards will become fully vested with respect to any time-based vesting requirements.

A Named Executive’s right to receive benefits under the Executive Plan is subject to his or her execution of a general release of claims against us, and his or her agreement to confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition restrictive covenants.

Payments (or benefits payable) to a Named Executive under the Executive Plan will, to the extent applicable, either be reduced to avoid Section 280G excise taxes or be paid in full (with the Named Executive paying any such excise taxes), whichever option places the Named Executive in the best after-tax position.

Adoption of Amended and Restated Executive Change in Control Severance Plan

On May 6, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved an amendment and restatement of the CIC Plan, effective as of the same date.

The CIC Plan was amended to revise the method for calculating severance payments that are determined with reference to a participant’s annual bonus in order to conform to the terms of the Executive Plan, and to make other clarifying and conforming changes, including changes relating to compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

The CIC Plan was not otherwise amended to change the amounts payable under the CIC Plan and the changes made are not expected to materially increase the aggregate amounts payable under the CIC Plan.
