Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Ventas report a net loss this quarter after net income a year earlier?
The shift was driven mainly by $15.7 million in shareholder relations costs tied to a proxy campaign, a $21.9 million increase in interest expense, and a $9.9 million decrease in gains on real estate dispositions. These offset higher NOI from the SHOP and other segments.
How did the senior housing portfolio perform?
SHOP NOI increased 21.3% to $203.5 million, with resident fees and services up to $813.3 million. Same-store SHOP NOI rose 15.2%, supported by average occupancy of 84.6% for same-store communities, up from 82.2%, and higher revenue per occupied room.
What is the status of the Kindred lease that investors should monitor?
The Group 2 properties, 23 of 29 Kindred properties, have a current term expiring April 30, 2025. Kindred's option to renew was extended to May 31, 2024. The filing states that financial performance of the portfolio has declined and does not exceed rent for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2023, and there can be no assurance Kindred will renew.
What were the main debt and financing actions during the quarter?
Ventas Canada issued C$650.0 million of 5.10% Senior Notes due 2029 to repay a C$500.0 million term loan. In April 2024, the company entered a new $2.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility at SOFR plus 0.875%, replacing the prior facility. Total debt was $13.63 billion at March 31, 2024.
