COVID-19 Situation Update
10 Vaccine Update 100% of the properties in our portfolio have had access to the vaccine91% of properties have completed all planned clinics; expect to have all clinics completed this monthOperators able to successfully organize vaccine clinics despite IL being excluded from Phase 1a of federal programVaccine participation continues to trend near 80% for residents and 50% for associates As vaccine rollout has progressed, the rate of new cases has declined significantlyMajority of our properties are now operating in a manner largely consistent with the pre-COVID-19 environmentIn addition, sales and occupancy trends have continued to improve as vaccines have been more widely distributed Property Vaccine Status 103 Properties 94 properties have completed all planned clinics 9 properties have completed at least one clinic Cumulative Vaccine Clinics Versus New Weekly Cases
COVID-19 Cases & Trends As of May 3, our portfolio has 3 active cases (1 resident and 2 associates) across 3 propertiesRate of new cases within our portfolio slowed again in April after the significant decline in March12 new total cases in April, down 95% from the peak in DecemberOnly 4 new resident cases reported in April, the lowest for any one month since the pandemic beganMost of the recent reported COVID-19 infections at our properties have been limited to 1 to 2 casesNo property has reported more than 3 active cases at any one time since mid-March 11 New COVID-19 Cases – Monthly Trend(1) Current Impact on Portfolio 100 properties w/ no active cases 3 properties w/ 1 active case 103 Properties National COVID-19 case data per Johns Hopkins University.
COVID-19 Impact on Senior Housing(1) Industry occupancy has declined significantly since the start of the pandemic – down 830bps since 1Q20In addition, expenses increased as operators adapted components of the business to keep residents and employees safe While the entire sector has been significantly impacted, IL properties have performed better than other property types since the start of the pandemicTo date, IL has experienced lower occupancy declines than AL/MC – down 740bps versus 940bps, respectivelyMore flexible operating model and lower COVID-19 related expenses due to lack of healthcare services Early signs of a potential recovery are very encouraging – and we believe industry is well positioned for growth 12 Intra-quarterly data per NIC for all markets.

Key Observations: Recent Occupancy & Financial Trends 15 Occupancy & Revenue Results were consistent with 1Q21 expectations and guidance range2Q21 guidance assumes occupancy growth continues into May and June based on positive sales trends observedFinancial results in 2Q21 could represent a trough if occupancy growth continues NOI & AFFO Expenses declined 3.2% YoY, but not enough to offset revenue decline from occupancy losses due to the pandemic Expenses impacted by increasing labor, marketing and maintenance costs as operators shift focus to occupancy growthAs a result, margins declined modestly from 39.1% in 4Q20 to 36.1% in 1Q21 Margins expected to remain impacted in near-term, but recover to historical levels following occupancy growth Operating Expenses & Margin Monthly occupancy trends improved in 1Q21 and April, as COVID-19 cases declined & vaccine rollout progressedPositive sales trends suggest continued growth in the rest of 2Q21 and heading into the second half of the yearFinancial results expected to be impacted near-term, but improve as occupancy continues to recover Significant improvement in sequential monthly results through 1Q21, culminating with occupancy growth in AprilLeads and move-ins both surpassed 2019 average volume in March and April; April also benefited from lower move-outsIn the near-term, we expect operators to continue the use of discounts and incentives to drive occupancy growth
IL Lead and Move-in Trends 16 Leads increased in 1Q21 as COVID-19 cases declined and the vaccine rollout progressedMarch exceeded average 2019 volume for the first time since the pandemic began, versus low point of 57% in April 2020In total, 1Q21 leads represented 103% of average 2019 volumeApril leads remained above 2019 levels for a second consecutive monthAlongside strong lead growth in 1Q21, monthly move-ins grew rapidly throughout the quarterMarch move-ins increased 46% versus recent January low point, and surpassed average 2019 volume for the first timeApril move-ins increased again month-over-month, and reached the highest level since December 2019 Monthly Leads – Indexed to 2019 Average(1) Monthly Move-ins – Indexed to 2019 Average(1) 2020 2021 2020 2021 Information represents 2Q21 same store portfolio, which excludes 21 properties transitioned to Atria on 4/1/21.
IL Move-out and Occupancy Trends 17 Move-outs increased at the end of 1Q21, driven mostly by higher non-controllable move-outsDeaths and higher level of care both trended above typical levels following elevated COVID-19 cases early in the quarterApril move-outs declined 15% from March as non-controllable move-outs stabilized1Q21 ending occupancy declined 160bps versus 4Q20Monthly declines improved significantly within the quarter following an 80bps loss in JanuaryApril same store occupancy increased 40bps, the first month of occupancy growth since the pandemic beganApril results benefited from both improving move-ins and the lowest move-out total since May 2020 Monthly Move-outs – Indexed to 2019 Average(1) Change in Ending Occupancy(2) 2020 2021 2020 2021 Information represents 2Q21 same store portfolio, which excludes 21 properties transitioned to Atria on 4/1/21.Information for May 2020 through March 2021 represents 1Q21 same store portfolio of 102 assets; information for April 2021 represents 2Q21 same store portfolio, which excludes 21 properties transitioned to Atria on 4/1/21.

Glossary Cash NOI MarginCash NOI margin is equal to Cash NOI divided by Cash Revenue.Discontinued OperationsDiscontinued operations consists of 28 AL/MC properties that represented the entire Managed AL/MC Properties segment prior to the fourth quarter of 2019 and were classified as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2019. The properties were subsequently sold in February 2020. EBITDARMEBITDARM is a non-GAAP measure that represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent and management fees for the period stated unless otherwise noted. We use EBITDARM in determining coverage and as a supplemental measure of the ability of the property to generate sufficient liquidity to meet related obligations to us. For our triple net lease portfolio, all facility financial performance data was derived solely from information provided by operators/tenants without independent verification by us. EBITDARM does not represent net income or cash flow from operations and should not be considered an alternative to those indications. EBITDARM CoverageFacility EBITDARM divided by the aggregate of base rent and any additional rent due to us for the same period. EBITDARM coverage is a supplemental measure of a property’s ability to generate cash flows for the operator/tenant (not for us) to meet the operator’s/tenant’s related rent and other obligations to us. Enterprise ValueEnterprise value is equal to market capitalization plus carrying value of mortgage notes payable, minus cash. FFO, Normalized FFO, AFFO and Normalized FADWe use Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Normalized FFO as supplemental measures of our operating performance. We use the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") definition of FFO. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, which includes loss from discontinued operations, excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciable real estate assets and impairment charges of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO does not account for debt principal payments and is not intended as a measure of a REIT’s ability to satisfy such payments or any other cash requirements. FFO, Normalized FFO, AFFO and Normalized FAD (continued)Normalized FFO, as defined below, measures the financial performance of our portfolio of assets excluding items that, although incidental to, are not reflective of the day-to-day operating performance of our portfolio of assets. We believe that Normalized FFO is useful because it facilitates the evaluation of our portfolio’s operating performance (i) between periods on a consistent basis and (ii) to the operating performance of other real estate companies. However, comparability may be limited because our calculation of Normalized FFO may differ significantly from that of other companies, or because of features of our business that are not present in other companies.We define Normalized FFO as FFO excluding the following income and expense items, as applicable: (a) acquisition, transaction and integration related expenses; (b) the write off of unamortized discounts, premiums, deferred financing costs, or additional costs, make whole payments and penalties or premiums incurred as the result of early repayment of debt (collectively “Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt”); (c) incentive compensation to affiliate recognized as a result of sales of real estate; (d) the remeasurement of deferred tax assets; (e) valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, net; (f) termination fee to affiliate; (g) gain on lease termination; (h) compensation expense related to transition awards; (i) litigation proceeds; and (j) other items that we believe are not indicative of operating performance, generally reported as “Other expense (income)” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We also use Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) and Normalized FAD as supplemental measures of our operating performance. We believe AFFO is useful because it facilitates the evaluation of (i) the current economic return on our portfolio of assets between periods on a consistent basis and (ii) our portfolio versus those of other real estate companies that report AFFO. However, comparability may be limited because our calculation of AFFO may differ significantly from that of other companies, or because of features of our business that are not present in other companies. We define AFFO as Normalized FFO excluding the impact of the following: (a) straight-line rental revenue; (b) amortization of above / below market lease intangibles; (c) amortization of deferred financing costs; (d) amortization of premium or discount on mortgage notes payable; (e) amortization of deferred community fees and other, which includes the net change in deferred community fees and other rent discounts or incentives and (f) amortization of equity-based compensation expense. 28
Glossary FFO, Normalized FFO, AFFO and Normalized FAD (continued)We define Normalized FAD as AFFO less routine capital expenditures, which we view as a cost associated with the current economic return. Normalized FAD, which does not reflect debt principal payments and certain other expenses, does not represent cash available for distribution to stockholders. We believe Normalized FAD is useful because it fully reflects the additional economic costs of maintaining the condition of the portfolio.Gross Assets The carrying amount of total assets, after adding back accumulated depreciation and amortization, as reported in our consolidated financial statements. Investment Represents the carrying amount of real estate assets, including intangibles, after adding back accumulated depreciation and amortization, for all assets owned as of the end of the respective reporting period. Net Operating Income (“NOI”) and Cash NOINOI and cash NOI are non-GAAP measures used to evaluate the performance of our properties. We consider NOI and Cash NOI important supplemental measures used to evaluate the operating performance of our properties because they allow investors, analysts and our management to assess our unleveraged property-level operating results and to compare our operating results between periods and to the operating results of other real estate companies on a consistent basis. We define NOI as total revenues less property-level operating expenses, which include property management fees and travel cost reimbursements. We define cash NOI as NOI excluding the effects of straight-line rental revenue, amortization of above / below market lease intangibles and the amortization of deferred community fees and other, which includes the net change in deferred community fees and other rent discounts or incentives. 29 Occupancy For the IL portfolio, occupancy represents the facilities’ average operating occupancy for the applicable period. For the triple net lease portfolio, occupancy is based on the period reported unless otherwise noted. The percentages are calculated based on available beds. All occupancy data was derived solely from information provided by operators/tenants without independent verification by us. RevPORRepresents average cash revenues per occupied bed per month. We use RevPOR to evaluate the revenue generating potential of our senior housing portfolio independent of fluctuating occupancy rates.Same StoreSame store information is intended to enable management to evaluate the performance of a consistent portfolio of real estate in a manner that eliminates variances attributable to changes in the composition of our portfolio over time, due to sales and various other factors. Properties acquired, sold, transitioned to other property managers or between segments, or classified as held for sale or discontinued operations during the comparable periods are excluded from the same store amounts.
