HOWEVER, OUR RESIDENTS AND PATIENTS MAY BECOME UNABLE TO FUND OUR CHARGES WITH PRIVATE RESOURCES IN THE FUTURE AND WE MAY BE REQUIRED OR MAY ELECT FOR BUSINESS REASONS TO ACCEPT OR PURSUE REVENUES FROM GOVERNMENT SOURCES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN INCREASED PART OF OUR NOI AND REVENUE BEING GENERATED FROM GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS AND OUR BECOMING MORE DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL OUR ASSETS CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE ON TERMS ACCEPTABLE TO US OR OTHERWISE, WE BELIEVE THAT OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR RELATED PARTIES, INCLUDING FIVE STAR, RMR LLC, RMR INC., AIC, D&R YONKERS LLC AND OTHERS AFFILIATED WITH THEM MAY BENEFIT US AND PROVIDE US WITH COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES IN OPERATING AND GROWING OUR BUSINESS. HOWEVER, THE ADVANTAGES WE BELIEVE WE MAY REALIZE FROM THESE RELATIONSHIPS MAY NOT MATERIALIZE, OUR SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITIES ARE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION, LICENSURE AND OVERSIGHT.

HOWEVER, THE APPLICABLE CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE MET, IN RECENT YEARS ECONOMIC INDICATORS REFLECT AN IMPROVING HOUSING MARKET AND MANY OF THE SERVICES OUR SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY TENANTS AND MANAGERS PROVIDE ARE NEEDS DRIVEN. THESE FACTORS MAY IMPLY THAT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE AND THAT THOSE TENANTS’ AND MANAGERS’ AND OUR REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY WILL IMPROVE. HOWEVER, WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE, THAT THERE EXISTS ANY PENT UP DEMAND FOR THOSE SERVICES OR THAT, EVEN IF THERE IS SUCH DEMAND, THAT OUR TENANTS AND MANAGERS WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL IN ATTRACTING SUCH DEMAND, OR THAT OUR TENANTS’ OR MANAGERS' OR OUR REVENUES AND PROFITS WILL IMPROVE. FURTHER, SOME ECONOMIC INDICATORS INDICATE DECLINING ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, WHICH COULD BE HARMFUL TO OUR TENANTS’, MANAGERS’ AND OUR BUSINESSES AND CAUSE THEM OR US TO EXPERIENCE LOSSES, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW, WE DO NOT INTEND TO UPDATE OR CHANGE ANY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE.

THE BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS BETWEEN US AND RMR LLC HAVE CONTINUING 20 YEAR TERMS. HOWEVER, THOSE AGREEMENTS INCLUDE TERMS WHICH PERMIT EARLY TERMINATION IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT THESE AGREEMENTS WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR CONTINUING 20 YEAR TERMS OR FOR SHORTER TERMS. THE PREMIUMS USED TO DETERMINE THE INTEREST RATE PAYABLE ON OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOANS AND THE FACILITY FEE PAYABLE ON OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY ARE BASED ON OUR CREDIT RATINGS.

(Nasdaq: RMR). RMR is an alternative asset management company that was founded in 1986 to manage real estate companies and related businesses. RMR primarily provides management services to four publicly owned real estate investment trusts, or REITs, and three real estate related operating businesses. In addition to managing SNH, RMR manages Hospitality Properties Trust, a REIT that owns hotels and travel centers, Select Income REIT, a REIT that is focused on owning and investing in net leased, single tenant properties, and Government Properties Income Trust, a REIT that primarily owns properties leased to the U.S. and state governments. RMR also provides management services to TravelCenters of America LLC, a publicly traded operator of travel centers along the U.S. Interstate Highway System, convenience stores and restaurants, Five Star Quality Care, Inc., a publicly traded operator of senior living communities (including some of the senior living communities that SNH owns), and Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, a privately owned franchisor and operator of hotels and cruise ships. RMR also manages publicly traded securities of real estate companies and private commercial real estate debt funds through wholly owned SEC registered investment advisory subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2016, RMR had $23.8 billion of real estate assets under management and the combined RMR managed companies had approximately $11.0 billion of annual revenues, over 1,350 properties and more than 52,000 employees. We believe that being managed by RMR is a competitive advantage for SNH because of RMR’s depth of management and experience in the real estate industry. We also believe RMR provides management services to us at costs that are lower than we would have to pay for similar quality services. Senior Housing Properties Trust, or SNH, we, our or us, is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, which owns independent and assisted living communities, continuing care retirement communities, skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs, wellness centers, and properties leased to medical providers, medical related businesses, clinics and biotech laboratory tenants, or MOBs, located throughout the U.S. We are included in a number of stock indices, including the S&P 400 MidCap Index, Russell 1000® Index, the MSCI US REIT Index, FTSE EPRA/NAREIT United States Index and the S&P REIT Composite Index.

(3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) Dividend amounts reflect the amounts paid during the period. The dividend amount for the period ended December 31, 2015 excludes a $0.13 per common share non-cash distribution of RMR common stock to our shareholders on December 14, 2015. KEY FINANCIAL DATA See page 25 for the calculation of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and EBITDA as adjusted, or Adjusted EBITDA, and a reconciliation of net income determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, to these amounts. See page 21 for the calculation of NOI and a reconciliation of that amount to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. See page 26 for the calculation of funds from operations, or FFO, and Normalized FFO and a reconciliation of net income determined in accordance with GAAP to these amounts. As of and For the Three Months Ended (amounts in thousands, except per share data) Effective as of the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we changed our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA and normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, to no longer include adjustments for estimated percentage rent. Historically, when calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized FFO, we estimated an amount of percentage rental income for each of the first three quarters of the year and then, in the fourth quarter, excluded the amounts that had been included in the first three quarters. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, we recognize percentage rental income for the full year in the fourth quarter, which is when all contingencies are met and the income is earned. Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized FFO for historical periods have been restated to be comparable with the current period calculation. The amounts stated reflect the regular quarterly dividend rates per share annualized and exclude a $0.13 per common share non-cash distribution of RMR common stock to our shareholders on December 14, 2015. On October 11, 2016, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.39 per share ($1.56 per year) which we expect to pay on or about November 17, 2016 to holders of record on October 21, 2016.

See Definitions of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 27 for a definition of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a description of why we believe they are appropriate supplemental measures. Effective as of the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we changed our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to no longer include adjustments for estimated percentage rent. Historically, when calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we estimated an amount of percentage rental income for each of the first three quarters of the year and then, in the fourth quarter, excluded the amounts that had been included in the first three quarters. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, we recognize percentage rental income for the full year in the fourth quarter, which is when all contingencies are met and the income is earned. Adjusted EBITDA for historical periods has been restated to be comparable with the current period calculation.

Senior Housing Properties Trust Supplemental Operating and Financial Data, September 30, 2016 D E F I N I T I O N S O F C E R T A I N N O N - G A A P F I N A N C I A L M E A S U R E S 27 NOI and Cash Basis NOI The calculations of NOI and Cash Basis NOI exclude certain components of net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to our property level results of operations. We calculate NOI and Cash Basis NOI as shown on page 21. We define NOI as income from our real estate less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions because we record those amounts as depreciation and amortization. We define Cash Basis NOI as NOI excluding non- cash straight line rent adjustments, lease value amortization, lease termination fee amortization, if any, and non-cash amortization included in property operating expenses. We consider NOI and Cash Basis NOI to be appropriate supplemental measures to net income because they may help both investors and management to understand the operations of our properties. We use NOI and Cash Basis NOI internally to evaluate individual and company wide property level performance, and we believe that NOI and Cash Basis NOI provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because these measures reflect only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. NOI and Cash Basis NOI do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indicator of our operating performance or as a measure of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income and operating income as presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate NOI and Cash Basis NOI differently than we do. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA We calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as shown on page 25. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be appropriate supplemental measures of our operating performance, along with net income and operating income. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as interest, depreciation and amortization expense, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may facilitate a comparison of current operating performance with our past operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income or operating income as an indicator of operating performance or as a measure of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income and operating income as presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. FFO and Normalized FFO We calculate FFO and Normalized FFO as shown on page 26. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which is net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties and impairment of real estate assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. Our calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO because we include business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of our core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will ultimately be payable when all contingencies for determining any such fees are determined at the end of the calendar year, and we exclude acquisition and certain other transaction related costs such as legal and professional fees associated with our acquisition and disposition activities and gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, if any. We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income and operating income. We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements and our public debt covenants, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance and our expected needs and availability of cash to pay our obligations. FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or operating income as an indicator of our operating performance or as a measure of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income and operating income as presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do. DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
