Reported normalized funds from operations ("FFO") attributable to common stockholders of $0.90 per diluted share
Reported total portfolio year-over-year same store NOI ("SSNOI") growth of 12.7%, driven by SSNOI growth in our Seniors Housing Operating ("SHO") portfolio of 24.2%

SHO portfolio year-over-year SSNOI margin expanded by 290 bps driven primarily by strong RevPOR growth which continued to meaningfully outpace Expense per Occupied Room ("ExpPOR") growth
During the first half of the year, completed nearly $700 million of pro rata acquisitions and loan funding
Since the beginning of the second quarter, we closed or are under contract to close 26 new transactions representing pro rata acquisition and loan funding of approximately $2.3 billion, bringing year-to-date total investment activity to $3.0 billion
As of July 28, 2023, we had approximately $6.7 billion of available liquidity inclusive of $2.7 billion of available cash and restricted cash and full capacity under our $4.0 billion line of credit
Improved net debt to Adjusted EBITDA to 5.62x at June 30, 2023 from 6.89x at June 30, 2022
Revised full year 2023 net income attributable to common stockholders outlook to a range of $0.73 to $0.84 per diluted share as compared to previous guidance of $0.61 to $0.74 per diluted share. Full year normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders guidance has been revised to a range of $3.48 to $3.59 per diluted share as compared to previous guidance of $3.43 to $3.56 per diluted share

Capital Activity and Liquidity During the second quarter, net debt to consolidated enterprise value improved to 24.6% at June 30, 2023 from 29.5% at December 31, 2022. During the second quarter and subsequent to quarter end, we sourced over $3 billion of attractively priced capital, including debt, exchangeable debt, equity and proceeds from dispositions and loan payoffs to fund accretive capital deployment opportunities and to further strengthen our already robust liquidity profile.

Provider Relief Funds During the second quarter, we recognized approximately $7.4 million of Provider Relief Funds, benefiting net income attributable to common stockholders and normalized FFO by approximately $0.01 per diluted share.

Notable Investment Activity In the second quarter, we completed $414 million of pro rata gross investments, including $164 million in acquisitions and loan funding and $250 million in development funding. We opened nine development projects for an aggregate pro rata investment amount of $315 million. Additionally, during the second quarter we completed pro rata property dispositions and loan payoffs of $433 million.

Revera Joint Venture During the second quarter, we entered into definitive agreements to dissolve our existing Revera joint venture relationship across the U.S., United Kingdom and Canada. The transactions include acquiring the remaining interests in 110 properties from Revera while simultaneously selling interests in 31 properties to Revera.

During the second quarter, we closed the U.K. portfolio portion of the transaction through the acquisition of the remaining ownership interest in 29 properties previously held in two separate consolidated joint venture structures in which we owned 75% and 90% of the interests in exchange for the disposition to Revera of our interests in four properties. Operations for these properties were transitioned to Avery, who recently appointed seniors housing industry veteran, Lorna Rose, as CEO. Ms. Rose has over 35 years of experience in healthcare, most recently serving on the executive teams at Bupa and Barchester Healthcare, both premier seniors housing operators in the U.K.

In July 2023, we closed transactions related primarily to our U.S portfolio through the acquisition of ten well-located properties currently under development or recently developed by Sunrise Senior Living, previously owned in a 34% Welltower/66% Revera joint venture. Additionally, we sold our minority interests in 12 U.S. properties and one Canadian development project. Operations for two recently developed now wholly-owned properties, as well as an additional 26 existing 100% owned properties transitioned to Oakmont Management Group, which has previously demonstrated rapid success in driving outsized NOI growth after assuming management of properties in its core markets. In conjunction with the transaction we also sold our 34% interest in the Sunrise Senior Living management company.

We anticipate closing the remainder of the transactions related to our Canadian portfolio before year end. The Canadian portfolio consists of 85 properties in a joint venture owned 75% by us and 25% by Revera. As a part of the transaction, we will acquire Revera's interest in 71 properties and sell our interests in the remaining 14 properties.

StoryPoint Senior Living We continued to expand our relationship with StoryPoint, a preeminent senior living operator based in Brighton, Michigan, through the acquisition of an additional community in Ohio for approximately $35 million.

Genesis HealthCare As previously announced, we transitioned the sublease of a portfolio of seven facilities from Genesis HealthCare to Complete Care Management in the second quarter of 2021. As part of the March 2021 Genesis transactions, we entered into a forward sale agreement for the seven properties valued at approximately $182 million, which was expected to close when the Welltower-held purchase option for these seven facilities became exercisable. On May 1, 2023, we executed a series of transactions that included the assignment of the leasehold interest to a newly formed tri-party unconsolidated joint venture with Aurora Health Network, Peace Capital (an affiliate of Complete Care Management) and Welltower, and culminated with the closing of the $66 million purchase option by the joint venture. The transactions resulted in net cash proceeds to us of approximately $104 million after our retained interest in the joint venture, and a gain from the loss of control and derecognition of the leasehold interest of $65 million recognized in other income.

Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") During the second quarter, we achieved an MSCI ESG rating of 'AA', reflecting our robust corporate governance practices, ESG risk management relative to peers and ongoing commitment to advancing sustainability initiatives. Subsequent to quarter-end, we released our 2022 ESG Report, summarizing our progress and achievements across a range of ESG initiatives, including those related to diversity and inclusion, environmental responsibility and corporate governance.

Dividend On July 31, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 of $0.61 per share. This dividend, which will be paid on August 23, 2023 to stockholders of record as of August 15, 2023, will be our 209th consecutive quarterly cash dividend. The declaration and payment of future quarterly dividends remains subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors.

Outlook for 2023 Net income attributable to common stockholders guidance has been revised to a range of $0.73 to $0.84 per diluted share from the previous range of $0.61 to $0.74 per diluted share, primarily due to change in projected net gains/losses/impairments and depreciation and amortization. We increased the midpoint of the guidance range of full year normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders to a range of $3.48 to $3.59 per diluted share from the previous range of $3.43 to $3.56 per diluted share. In preparing our guidance, we have updated or confirmed the following assumptions:

Same Store NOI: We expect average blended SSNOI growth of 10% to 13%, which is comprised of the following components:

Seniors Housing Operating approximately 20% to 25%
Seniors Housing Triple-net approximately 1% to 3%
Outpatient Medical approximately 2% to 3%
Long-Term/Post-Acute Care approximately 3% to 4%

Investments: Our earnings guidance includes only those acquisitions closed to date. Furthermore, no transitions or restructures beyond those announced to date are included.
Impact of Interest Rates: Increased interest rates on floating rate debt are expected to reduce 2023 normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders by approximately $0.20 per diluted share versus 2022.
General and Administrative Expenses: We anticipate general and administrative expenses to be approximately $171 million to $177 million and stock-based compensation expense to be approximately $35 million.
Development: We anticipate funding an additional $441 million of development in 2023 relating to projects underway on June 30, 2023.
Dispositions: We expect pro rata disposition proceeds of $966 million at a blended yield of 5.0% in the next twelve months. This includes approximately $961 million from expected property sales and $5 million of expected proceeds from loan repayments.
Provider Relief Funds: Our initial 2023 earnings guidance did not include the recognition of any Provider Relief Funds or other government grants. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized approximately $11 million at our share relating to Provider Relief Funds and similar programs in the United Kingdom and Canada. Our updated guidance does not include any additional funds in 2023. During the full year 2022, we recognized approximately $35 million at our share relating to these programs.

Our guidance does not include any additional investments, dispositions or capital transactions beyond those we have announced, nor any other expenses, impairments, unanticipated additions to the loan loss reserve or other additional normalizing items. Please see the Supplemental Reporting Measures section for further discussion and our definition of normalized FFO and SSNOI and Exhibit 3 for a reconciliation of the outlook for net income available to common stockholders to normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders. We will provide additional detail regarding our 2023 outlook and assumptions on the second quarter 2023 conference call.

Supplemental Reporting Measures We believe that net income and net income attributable to common stockholders ("NICS"), as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), are the most appropriate earnings measurements. However, we consider funds from operations ("FFO"), normalized FFO, net operating income ("NOI"), same store NOI ("SSNOI"), revenue per occupied room ("RevPOR"), same store RevPOR ("SS RevPOR"), expense per occupied room ("ExpPOR"), same store ExpPOR ("SS ExpPOR"), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. Excluding EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, these supplemental measures are disclosed on our pro rata ownership basis. Pro rata amounts are derived by reducing consolidated amounts for minority partners' noncontrolling ownership interests and adding our minority ownership share of unconsolidated amounts. We do not control unconsolidated investments. While we consider pro rata disclosures useful, they may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of our joint venture arrangements and should be used with caution.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time as evidenced by the provision for depreciation. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. In response, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation from net income. FFO attributable to common stockholders, as defined by NAREIT, means net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate and impairments of depreciable assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests. Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders represents FFO attributable to common stockholders adjusted for certain items detailed in Exhibit 2. We believe that normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance because investors and equity analysts may use this measure to compare the operating performance of Welltower between periods or as compared to other REITs or other companies on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated and/or incalculable items.

We define NOI as total revenues, including tenant reimbursements, less property operating expenses. Property operating expenses represent costs associated with managing, maintaining and servicing tenants for our properties. These expenses include, but are not limited to, property-related payroll and benefits, property management fees paid to operators, marketing, housekeeping, food service, maintenance, utilities, property taxes and insurance. General and administrative expenses represent general overhead costs that are unrelated to property operations and unallocable to the properties, or transaction costs. These expenses include, but are not limited to, payroll and benefits related to corporate employees, professional services, office expenses and depreciation of corporate fixed assets. SSNOI is used to evaluate the operating performance of our properties using a consistent population which controls for changes in the composition of our portfolio. As used herein, same store is generally defined as those revenue-generating properties in the portfolio for the relevant year-over-year reporting periods. Acquisitions and development conversions are included in the same store amounts five full quarters after acquisition or being placed into service. Land parcels, loans and sub-leases, as well as any properties sold or classified as held for sale during the period, are excluded from the same store amounts. Redeveloped properties (including major refurbishments of a Seniors Housing Operating property where 20% or more of units are simultaneously taken out of commission for 30 days or more or Outpatient Medical properties undergoing a change in intended use) are excluded from the same store amounts until five full quarters post completion of the redevelopment. Properties undergoing operator transitions and/or segment transitions are also excluded from the same store amounts until five full quarters post completion of the operator transition or segment transition. In addition, properties significantly impacted by force majeure, acts of God or other extraordinary adverse events are excluded from same store amounts until five full quarters after the properties are placed back into service. SSNOI excludes non-cash NOI and includes adjustments to present consistent property ownership percentages and to translate Canadian properties and UK properties using a consistent exchange rate. Normalizers include adjustments that in management's opinion are appropriate in considering SSNOI, a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure. None of these adjustments, which may increase or decrease SSNOI, are reflected in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Significant normalizers (defined as any that individually exceed 0.50% of SSNOI growth per property type) are separately disclosed and explained. We believe NOI and SSNOI provide investors relevant and useful information because they measure the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI and SSNOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our properties. No reconciliation of the forecasted range for SSNOI on a combined basis or by property type is included in this release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts, and we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

RevPOR represents the average revenues generated per occupied room per month and ExpPOR represents the average expenses per occupied room per month at our Seniors Housing Operating properties. These metrics are calculated as our pro rata version of total resident fees and services revenues or property operating expenses from the income statement, divided by average monthly occupied room days. SS RevPOR and SS ExpPOR are used to evaluate the RevPOR and ExpPOR performance of our properties under a consistent population, which eliminates changes in the composition of our portfolio. They are based on the same pool of properties used for SSNOI and includes any revenue or expense normalizations used for SSNOI. We use RevPOR, ExpPOR, SS RevPOR and SS ExpPOR to evaluate the revenue-generating capacity and profit potential of our Seniors Housing Operating portfolio independent of fluctuating occupancy rates. They are also used in comparison against industry and competitor statistics, if known, to evaluate the quality of our Seniors Housing Operating portfolio.

We measure our credit strength both in terms of leverage ratios and coverage ratios. The leverage ratios indicate how much of our balance sheet capitalization is related to long-term debt, net of cash and restricted cash. We expect to maintain capitalization ratios and coverage ratios sufficient to maintain a capital structure consistent with our current profile. The ratios are based on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as earnings (net income per income statement) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding unconsolidated entities and including adjustments for stock-based compensation expense, provision for loan losses, gains/losses on extinguishment of debt, gains/losses/impairments on properties, gains/losses on derivatives and financial instruments, other expenses, other impairment charges and other adjustments deemed appropriate in management's opinion. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, along with net income, are important supplemental measures because they provide additional information to assess and evaluate the performance of our operations. Our leverage ratios include net debt to Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt is defined as total long-term debt, excluding operating lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Consolidated enterprise value represents the sum of net debt, the fair market value of our common stock and noncontrolling interests.

Our supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and ratings agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Our management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to historical operating results and in making operating decisions. Additionally, they are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management. The supplemental reporting measures do not represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity. Finally, the supplemental reporting measures, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts or other companies. Please see the exhibits for reconciliations of supplemental reporting measures and the supplemental information package for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, which is available on Welltower's website (www.welltower.com), for information and reconciliations of additional supplemental reporting measures.
