Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HEALTH CARE PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2007
LONG BEACH, CA, April 30, 2007 -- Health Care Property Investors, Inc. (the “Company” or “We”) (NYSE:HCP), today announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Funds From Operations (“FFO”) applicable to common shares was $102.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted share of common stock, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to FFO applicable to common shares of $73.0 million, or $0.53 per diluted share of common stock, for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
FFO applicable to common shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 included the impact of merger-related charges of $0.03 per diluted share of common stock and write-offs of costs related to acquisitions not consummated of $0.01 per diluted share of common stock. No merger-related charges or write-offs of acquisition costs were incurred in the year ago period. Merger-related charges in the 2007 period include the amortization of fees associated with our CNL Retirement Properties, Inc. (“CRP”) merger financing, severance and retention related compensation, as well as other CRP integration costs. FFO applicable to common shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, includes income of $7.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share of common stock, resulting from a prepayment premium the Company received upon the early repayment of a secured loan receivable. FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes is helpful in evaluating the operating performance of real estate investment trusts.
Net income applicable to common shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, was $140.0 million, or $0.68 per diluted share of common stock. This compares with net income applicable to common shares of $52.6 million, or $0.38 per diluted share of common stock, for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The Company’s net income applicable to common shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, includes a net gain on sales of real estate of $104.0 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company sold 27 properties for net proceeds of $170.1 million.

The initial yield on this campus is approximately 7.2%.

The joint venture includes 25 properties valued at $1.1 billion and encumbered by a $686 million secured debt facility.

· On January 22, 2007, we issued $500 million of 6.00% senior unsecured notes due in 2017. The notes were priced at 99.323% of the principal amount for an effective yield of 6.09%.

The proceeds from the placement of these notes were used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility and for other general corporate purposes.
OTHER EVENTS
· On April 25, 2007, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.445 per share. The common stock dividend will be paid on May 18, 2007, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 7, 2007.

(1) The Company believes that Funds From Operations (“FFO”) applicable to common shares, Diluted Funds From Operations applicable to common shares and Basic and Diluted Funds From Operations per common share are important supplemental measures of operating performance for a real estate investment trust. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a real estate investment trust that use historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. The term FFO was designed by the real estate investment trust industry to address this issue.
FFO is defined as net income applicable to common shares (computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, with adjustments for joint ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income. A reconciliation of net income applicable to common shares to FFO applicable to common shares is provided herein.

(1) Except as otherwise noted above, the foregoing projections reflect management's view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels and the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release. These estimates also include the impact on operating results from potential future property acquisitions and dispositions, but do not reflect the potential impact of future impairments, if any. By definition, FFO does not include real estate-related depreciation and amortization or gains and losses associated with real estate disposition activities, but does include impairment charges. There can be no assurance that the Company's actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth above. The aforementioned ranges represent management’s best estimate of results based upon the underlying assumptions as of the date of this press release.
(2) The Company believes that Diluted Funds From Operations per common share is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a real estate investment trust. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a real estate investment trust that use historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. The term FFO was designed by the real estate investment trust industry to address this issue.
FFO is defined as net income (computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, with adjustments for joint ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income.
(3) Merger-related charges primarily include amortization of fees associated with the Company’s term loan, severance and retention-related compensation, and CRP integration costs.
