Summary
Health Care REIT, Inc. (WELL) reported its first quarter results for the period ending March 31, 2013. The company, an S&P 500 REIT specializing in seniors housing and health care real estate, demonstrated robust growth in its portfolio through significant acquisitions. Total assets grew to $20.79 billion from $19.55 billion at the end of 2012, largely driven by the acquisition of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. and other strategic investments. Financially, the company saw a substantial increase in revenues, with total revenues reaching $633.9 million for the quarter, up from $417.9 million in the prior year's comparable period. This revenue growth was primarily fueled by the integration of acquired properties and an increase in resident fees and services.
