| · | Strategic transactions with HCP, Inc. ("HCP"), completed on August 29, 2014. |

| · | Adjusted EBITDA of $186.8 million in the third quarter, a 57.3% increase from the third quarter of 2013, excluding integration, transaction and EMR roll-out costs in both periods. |
| · | Third quarter senior housing revenue grew by 50.9% over the third quarter of 2013. |

Andy Smith, Brookdale's CEO, said, "The third quarter was marked by much accomplishment – completing two strategic transactions, creating and implementing a new organizational structure, and making significant strides toward consolidating all of our operations on a common platform. All the while, we remain focused on providing the highest quality of service and care to our residents. In addition, we have accelerated our integration plans in order to minimize disruption of the business. We remain confident that the continued execution of our strategy will deliver significant value for all our stakeholders over both the near and long-term."
Financial Results
The financial results for the third quarter of 2014 reflect Brookdale as a standalone company through July 31st and Brookdale and Emeritus consolidated after July 31st. In addition, subsequent to August 29th, the Company's results reflect the formation of two joint ventures and the amendments to lease terms resulting from the HCP transactions.
Total revenue for the third quarter was $1.1 billion, an increase of $354.9 million, or 48.7%, from the third quarter of 2013. Third quarter 2014 total revenue is comprised of resident fee
Page 1 of 15
revenue of $955.5 million, which increased $324.4 million, or 51.4%, from the third quarter of 2013, management fee revenue of $10.4 million, which increased $2.8 million, or 36.8%, from the third quarter of 2013, and managed community reimbursed costs of $118.0 million, which increased $27.8 million, or 30.8%, from the third quarter of 2013.
Resident fee revenue for the third quarter of 2014 increased primarily as a result of the inclusion of revenue from communities acquired since the end of the third quarter of 2013 (including communities acquired as part of the Emeritus transaction) and new units added to existing communities, partially offset by the effect of the contribution of entry fee CCRCs to a joint venture with HCP. Average monthly revenue per unit for the senior housing portfolio was $4,317 in the third quarter of 2014, a decrease of $80, or 1.8%, over the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to the inclusion of acquired Emeritus communities with lower average monthly revenue per unit. The contribution of entry fee CCRCs, which have higher average monthly revenue per unit than the total Brookdale portfolio, to the joint venture with HCP also impacted average monthly revenue since their results were deconsolidated after August 29. For the 508 legacy Brookdale communities the Company operated during both quarters, revenues grew 2.6%, with a 3.4% increase in average monthly revenue per unit, excluding amortization of entrance fees in both quarters.
Average occupancy for all consolidated communities for the third quarter of 2014 was 88.5%, compared to 88.1% for the second quarter of 2014 and 89.0% for the third quarter of 2013. For the 508 legacy Brookdale communities the Company operated during all relevant quarters, average occupancy increased 30 basis points from the second quarter of 2014 and decreased 70 basis points compared with the third quarter last year. For the managed community portfolio, which includes a number of pre-stabilized communities in the initial fill-up phase, average occupancy for the third quarter was 85.8%, compared to 86.8% for the second quarter of 2014 and 85.7% for the third quarter of 2013.
Facility operating expenses for the third quarter of 2014 were $637.1 million, an increase of $216.5 million, or 51.5%, from the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to the acquisition of Emeritus. Operating margins were 33.3% for the third quarter of 2014 versus 33.4% for the third quarter of 2013.
General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2014 were $90.0 million, an increase of $44.2 million, or 96.4%, over the third quarter of 2013, primarily as a result of integration and EMR roll-out costs and the addition of employees associated with the acquisition of Emeritus. Included in the general and administrative expenses were integration and EMR roll-out costs of $35.0 million in the third quarter of 2014, which include third party expenses directly related to the integration of Emeritus as well as internal costs such as labor reflecting time spent by Company personnel on integration and transaction activities.
Depreciation and amortization expense in the third quarter of 2014 increased $110.4 million, or 160.8%, over the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to the acquisition of Emeritus, offset in part by the contribution of entry fee CCRCs to the joint venture with HCP during the quarter. The preliminary purchase price allocation related to the merger included approximately $480.4 million of resident lease intangibles, which will be amortized over approximately one year.

Net loss attributable to Brookdale common stockholders for the third quarter of 2014 was $(36.9) million, or $(0.23) per share, versus net loss attributable to Brookdale common stockholders of $(1.0) million, or $(0.01) per share, in the third quarter of 2013.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Brookdale's management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA and CFFO to evaluate the Company's performance and liquidity because these metrics exclude non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, asset impairment charges, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, gain on facility lease termination and straight-line lease expense, net of deferred gain amortization. Adjusted EBITDA and CFFO for the third quarter of 2014 include transaction costs of $41.6 million and integration and EMR roll-out costs of $35.0 million versus $4.7 million of total transaction, integration and EMR roll-out costs for the third quarter of 2013. Brookdale also uses Facility Operating Income to assess the performance of its communities.
Facility Operating Income was $312.7 million in the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $109.1 million, or 53.6%, over the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding integration, transaction and EMR roll-out costs, was $186.8 million, an increase of $68.1 million, or 57.3%, over the third quarter of 2013.
CFFO was $22.9 million in the third quarter of 2014, or $0.14 per share. Excluding integration, transaction and EMR roll-out costs, CFFO was $99.6 million for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $24.3 million, or 32.4%, compared with the third quarter of 2013. This translated to $0.63 per share in the most recent quarter, an increase of $0.02 per share, or 3.3%, from the third quarter of 2013, on a 28.1% increase in weighted average shares outstanding, primarily as a result of shares issued in the Emeritus acquisition.
Operating Activities
The Company reports information on six segments. Four segments (Retirement Centers, Assisted Living, CCRCs–Rental and CCRCs–Entry Fee) constitute the Company's consolidated senior housing portfolio. The fifth segment, Brookdale Ancillary Services, includes the Company's outpatient therapy, home health and hospice services. The sixth segment, Management Services, includes the services provided to unconsolidated communities that are operated under management agreements.
Due to the contribution of all but two of the Company's entry fee CCRCs to the CCRC joint venture in the third quarter of 2014, the two consolidated entry fee CCRCs were reclassified to the CCRCs–Rental segment for the third quarter of 2014. As a result, for the third quarter of 2014, the CCRCs–Entry Fee segment reported data includes the results of the entry fee CCRCs contributed to the CCRC joint venture through August 29, the closing date of the HCP transaction.
Senior Housing
Revenue for the consolidated senior housing portfolio was $860.1 million in the third quarter of 2014, an increase of 50.9% from the third quarter of 2013. The revenue growth reflects the
Page 3 of 15
addition of approximately 26,640 weighted average units since the third quarter of last year through the merger with Emeritus, organic growth and other acquisitions (partially offset by the contribution of entry fee CCRCs to the joint venture with HCP). The consolidated portfolio period-end unit count was 83,252 units. Facility operating expenses were $559.8 million for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of 50.8% from the third quarter of 2013. Operating income for the senior housing portfolio for the third quarter of 2014 increased by $101.5 million, or 51.0%, to $300.3 million from the third quarter of 2013.
Same community results for the 911 same store communities included in the senior housing portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2014 showed revenues grew 1.9% over the corresponding period in 2013, as revenue per unit increased by 2.3% and occupancy decreased by 30 basis points. Same community expenses increased by 0.7% over the third quarter of 2013. Same community Facility Operating Income for the senior housing portfolio increased by 4.2% over the third quarter of 2013 as facility operating margin improved by 80 basis points.
Brookdale Ancillary Services
Revenue for the Company's ancillary services segment increased $34.3 million, or 56.0%, to $95.4 million for the third quarter of 2014 versus the prior year quarter. The revenue increase was driven primarily by the partial quarter addition of Emeritus' Nurse On Call ancillary services business. Ancillary services operating expenses for the third quarter of 2014 increased $27.9 million, or 56.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to the inclusion of Nurse on Call expenses. As a result, ancillary services operating income for the third quarter of 2014 was $18.1 million, an increase of $6.4 million, or 54.3%, versus the third quarter of 2013.
Emeritus Merger
On July 31, 2014, the Company completed the previously announced merger transaction with Emeritus, and Emeritus became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookdale. The results of Emeritus' operations are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to that date. As of July 31, 2014, Emeritus owned 182 communities, leased 311 communities and managed 14 communities. Emeritus also has outpatient therapy and home health services operations in Florida, Arizona and Texas.
HCP Transactions
On August 29, 2014, the Company completed transactions with HCP, which included the creation of a $1.2 billion strategic joint venture initially owning a portfolio of 14 entry fee CCRCs, the creation of a joint venture with respect to 49 HCP-owned communities that were leased by Emeritus, and the amendment of triple-net leases with respect to 153 HCP-owned communities that were leased by Emeritus. Each of the joint ventures uses a "RIDEA" opco/propco structure. The Company owns a 51% interest in the CCRC joint venture, a 20% interest in the 49-community joint venture and manages the communities.

Liquidity
Brookdale had $238.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $180.1 million of restricted cash on its balance sheet at the end of the third quarter of 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had a $250.0 million commitment on its secured line of credit, of which no borrowings were drawn as of that date. The actual amount available to borrow under the line may vary from time to time as it is based on borrowing base calculations related to the value and performance of the communities securing the facility. The Company also had secured and unsecured letter of credit facilities of up to $88.7 million in the aggregate as of September 30, 2014. Letters of credit totaling $74.5 million had been issued under these facilities as of that date.
In September, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of approximately 10.3 million shares of common stock, raising approximately $330 million of net proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to finance the exercise of purchase options on certain communities currently leased by the Company, to repay certain outstanding indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes, which may include additional debt repayments and the acceleration of capital investments in the Company's communities and corporate infrastructure platform.
Outlook
Brookdale is reiterating its preliminary guidance for 2015 CFFO in a range of $2.95 to $3.10 per share. This guidance includes the impact of the Emeritus merger and HCP transactions, but excludes integration, transaction and EMR roll-out costs and the impact of possible future acquisitions or dispositions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of operating performance that is not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations or cash flows provided by or used in operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure of the Company's operating performance used by management to focus on operating performance and management without mixing in items of income and expense that relate to long-term contracts and the financing and capitalization of the business. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before provision (benefit) for income taxes, non-operating (income) expense items, (gain) loss on sale or acquisition of communities (including gain (loss) on facility lease termination), depreciation and amortization (including non-cash impairment charges), straight-line lease expense (income), amortization of (above) below market rents, amortization of deferred gain, amortization of deferred entrance fees, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and change in future service obligation and including entrance fee receipts and refunds (excluding (i) first generation entrance fee receipts from the sale of units at a recently opened entrance fee CCRC prior to stabilization and (ii) first generation entrance fee refunds not replaced by second generation entrance fee receipts at the recently opened community prior to stabilization).
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our performance, results of operations and financial position for the following reasons:
| · | It is helpful in identifying trends in our day-to-day performance because the items excluded have little or no significance to our day-to-day operations; |
| · | It provides an assessment of controllable expenses and affords management the ability to make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as achieve optimal financial performance; and |
| · | It is an indication to determine if adjustments to current spending decisions are needed. |

Cash From Facility Operations
CFFO is a measurement of liquidity that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for cash flows provided by or used in operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We define CFFO as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities adjusted for changes in operating assets and liabilities, deferred interest and fees added to principal, refundable entrance fees received, first generation entrance fee receipts at a recently opened entrance fee CCRC prior to stabilization, entrance fee refunds disbursed adjusted for first generation entrance fee refunds not replaced by second generation entrance fee receipts at the recently opened community prior to stabilization, lease financing debt amortization with fair market value or no purchase options, gain (loss) on facility lease termination, recurring capital expenditures (net), distributions from unconsolidated ventures from cumulative share of net earnings, CFFO from unconsolidated ventures, and other. Recurring capital expenditures include routine expenditures capitalized in accordance with GAAP that are funded from current operations. Amounts excluded from recurring capital expenditures consist primarily of major projects, renovations, community repositionings, expansions, systems projects or other non-recurring or unusual capital items (including integration capital expenditures) or community purchases that are funded using lease or financing proceeds, available cash and/or proceeds from the sale of communities.
We believe CFFO is useful to investors in evaluating our liquidity for the following reasons:
Page 13 of 15
| · | It provides an assessment of our ability to facilitate meeting current financial and liquidity goals. |
| · | To assess our ability to: |
| (i) | service our outstanding indebtedness; |
| (ii) | pay dividends; and |
| (iii) | make regular recurring capital expenditures to maintain and improve our communities. |

| (2) | Total entrance fee receipts for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $9.6 million and $19.1 million, respectively, including $6.2 million and $9.2 million, respectively, of non-refundable entrance fee receipts included in net cash provided by operating activities. Total entrance fee receipts for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $50.5 million and $59.8 million, respectively, including $30.1 million and $30.6 million, respectively, of non-refundable entrance fee receipts included in net cash provided by operating activities. Due to the contribution of all but two of the Company's entry fee CCRCs to the CCRC joint venture in the third quarter of 2014, the two consolidated entry fee CCRCs were reclassified to the CCRCs–Rental segment for the third quarter of 2014. As a result, for the third quarter of 2014, the CCRCs–Entry Fee segment reported data includes the results of the entry fee CCRCs contributed to the CCRC joint venture through August 29, the closing date of the HCP transaction. |
The calculation of CFFO per share is based on weighted average outstanding common shares for the period, excluding any unvested restricted shares. Annual CFFO per share for all periods is calculated as the sum of the quarterly amounts for the year.
Facility Operating Income
Facility Operating Income is not a measurement of operating performance calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for net income, income from operations, or cash flows provided by or used in operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We define Facility Operating Income as net income (loss) before provision (benefit) for income taxes, non-operating (income) expense items, (gain) loss on sale or acquisition of communities (including gain (loss) on facility lease termination), depreciation and amortization (including non-cash impairment charges), facility lease expense, general and administrative expense, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense, transaction costs,

change in future service obligation, amortization of deferred entrance fee revenue and management fees.
We believe Facility Operating Income is useful to investors in evaluating our facility operating performance for the following reasons:
| · | It is helpful in identifying trends in our day-to-day facility performance; |
| · | It provides an assessment of our revenue generation and expense management; and |
| · | It provides an indicator to determine if adjustments to current spending decisions are needed. |
