Forward Guidance
The Company currently expects to report fourth quarter 2021 Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders, Nareit FFO and Normalized FFO within the following per share ranges:
Positive Outlook
- Average occupancy for fourth quarter 2021 in the same-store SHOP business is expected to increase 80 to 120 basis points sequentially, reflecting continued demand exceeding pre-pandemic levels tempered by typical seasonal trends.
- Revenue for the same-store SHOP business is expected to grow in the fourth quarter as a result of occupancy increases.
- Stable sequential performance is expected in the Office and NNN segments.
- Receipt of a $13 million fee related to the previously announced acquisition of Kindred Healthcare.
- The Company continues to expect to receive approximately $1.0 billion in proceeds from asset sales and loan repayments in 2021 principally in senior housing, medical office and loan investments with proceeds used to reduce near-term indebtedness.
Challenges Ahead
- Approximately stable NOI is expected in the Company’s sequential same-store SHOP business in the fourth quarter. At the mid-point of the range, revenue growth is assumed to be offset by increasing operating costs, notably including continued elevated labor costs.
- We have assumed that no HHS Grants will be received by the Company in the fourth quarter.
- The guidance assumes no material changes in the impact of COVID-19 on our business.
- The trajectory and future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact of the Delta or any other variant, remain highly uncertain and may change rapidly.
- Significant changes or impacts of the pandemic are excluded from our guidance.
