PHYSICIANS REALTY TRUST MERGER INTEGRATION
As previously disclosed, on March 1, 2024, Healthpeak closed the
merger with Physicians Realty Trust.
To date, the company has completed internalization of property
management in 10 markets covering 17 million square feet.
Healthpeak now forecasts year one merger-related synergies of $45
million, an increase of $5 million compared to the prior
estimate.
REDEVELOPMENT UPDATE
PORTSIDE AT OYSTER POINT
During the first quarter, Healthpeak placed approximately
325,000 square feet across three buildings at its Portside at
Oyster Point ("Portside") campus in South San Francisco into
redevelopment.
Elements of the redevelopment include the addition of a fitness
center, boardroom, and outdoor meeting and gathering spaces
complemented by updated landscaping throughout the campus.
Additionally, the redevelopment will improve connectivity between
Healthpeak's Cove and Portside campuses, creating an approximately
2 million square foot amenity-rich contiguous campus at the
entrance to South San Francisco's life science market.
The enhanced amenity offering, improved connectivity, and
significantly lower tenant operating costs relative to new
construction, provide Healthpeak a competitive leasing advantage.
To date, Healthpeak has re-leased approximately 175,000 square feet
across the 465,000 square foot in active redevelopment on the
Portside campus with initial occupancy expected to commence in
mid-2024.
DISPOSITIONS AND LOAN REPAYMENTS
- Callan Ridge Joint Venture: As previously announced, in
January 2024, Healthpeak sold a 65% interest in the fully leased
Callan Ridge lab campus in the Torrey Pines submarket of San Diego.
The formation of the joint venture valued Callan Ridge at $236
million, or $1,275 per square foot, and represents a stabilized
cash capitalization rate of 5.3% based on the initial annual rental
rate of approximately $67 per square foot. At closing, net proceeds
to Healthpeak were $128 million. Additionally, the formation of the
joint venture reduces Healthpeak's future tenant improvement
funding by approximately $20 million.
- Outpatient Medical Dispositions: In March 2024,
Healthpeak sold two outpatient medical buildings for $29
million.
- Poway R&D Portfolio: In April 2024, Healthpeak sold
a portfolio of seven buildings in the Poway submarket of San Diego
for $180 million. The portfolio comprises R&D, industrial, and
office spaces across 702,000 square feet and is fully-leased to an
affiliate of General Atomics. The trailing cash capitalization rate
on the disposition was 6.0%.
- Loan Repayments: During the first quarter, we received
$69 million of seller financing loan repayments.
SHARE REPURCHASE ACTIVITY
In March 2024, Healthpeak repurchased 5.8 million shares at a
weighted average share price of $17.11 for approximately $100
million under its $500 million share repurchase program. As of
March 31, 2024, $344 million remained available for share
repurchases under the program.
CAPITAL MARKETS
As previously announced, Healthpeak entered into a new $750
million 5-year unsecured term loan on March 1, 2024. Healthpeak
entered into swap agreements to fix the interest rate of the new
term loan at approximately 4.5% for the full 5-year term of the
loan.
As of April 25, 2024, Healthpeak had $3.1 billion in available
liquidity through a combination of unrestricted cash and full
capacity of its $3 billion revolving credit facility.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
On April 25, 2024, Christine N. Garvey and David B. Henry
retired from Healthpeak's Board pursuant to the director term limit
policy. Healthpeak's Board of Directors reduced the size of the
Board to 11 members.
DIVIDEND
On April 24, 2024, Healthpeak's Board declared a quarterly
common stock cash dividend of $0.30 per share to be paid on May 17,
2024, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May
6, 2024.
2024 GUIDANCE
We are updating the following guidance ranges for full year
2024:
- Diluted earnings per common share from $0.07 – $0.13 to $0.16 –
$0.20
- Diluted Nareit FFO per share from $1.54 – $1.60 to $1.56 –
$1.60
- Diluted FFO as Adjusted per share from $1.73 – $1.79 to $1.76 –
$1.80
- Diluted AFFO per share from $1.50 – $1.56 to $1.53 – $1.57
- Total Merger-Combined Same-Store Cash (Adjusted) NOI growth
from 2.25% – 3.75% to 2.50% – 4.00%
These estimates are based on our view of existing market

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith belief and

forecasts will be attained. Further, we cannot guarantee the
accuracy of any such forward-looking statement contained in this
release, and such forward-looking statements are subject to known
and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
macroeconomic trends, including inflation, interest rates,

requirements, and uncertainty faced by our lab tenants; factors
adversely affecting our tenants’, operators’, or borrowers’ ability
to meet their financial and other contractual obligations to us;
the insolvency or bankruptcy of one or more of our major tenants,
operators, or borrowers; our concentration of real estate
investments in the healthcare property sector, which makes us more
vulnerable to a downturn in that specific sector than if we
invested across multiple sectors; the illiquidity of real estate
investments; our ability to identify and secure new or replacement
tenants and operators; our property development, redevelopment, and
tenant improvement risks, including project abandonments, project
delays, and lower profits than expected; the ability of the
hospitals on whose campuses our outpatient medical buildings are
located and their affiliated healthcare systems to remain
competitive or financially viable; our ability to develop,
maintain, or expand hospital and health system client
relationships; operational risks associated with third-party
management contracts, including the additional regulation and
liabilities of our properties operated through structures permitted
by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, which includes
most of the provisions previously proposed in the REIT Investment
Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (commonly referred to
as “RIDEA”); economic conditions, natural disasters, weather, and
other conditions that negatively affect geographic areas where we
have concentrated investments; uninsured or underinsured losses,
which could result in significant losses and/or performance
declines by us or our tenants and operators; our use of joint
ventures that may limit our returns on and our flexibility with
jointly owned investments; our use of fixed rent escalators,
contingent rent provisions, and/or rent escalators based on the
Consumer Price Index; competition for suitable healthcare
properties to grow our investment portfolio; our ability to
foreclose or exercise rights on collateral securing our real
estate-related loans; any requirement that we recognize reserves,
allowances, credit losses, or impairment charges; investment of
substantial resources and time in transactions that are not
consummated; our ability to successfully integrate or operate
acquisitions; the potential impact on us and our tenants,
operators, and borrowers from litigation matters, including rising
liability and insurance costs; environmental compliance costs and
liabilities associated with our real estate investments; our
ability to satisfy environmental, social and governance and
sustainability commitments and requirements, as well as stakeholder
expectations; epidemics, pandemics, or other infectious diseases,
including the coronavirus disease (Covid), and health and safety
measures intended to reduce their spread; human capital risks,
including the loss or limited availability of our key personnel;
our reliance on information technology systems and any material
failure, inadequacy, interruption, or security failure of that
technology; volatility, disruption, or uncertainty in the financial
markets; increased borrowing costs, including due to rising
interest rates; cash available for distribution to stockholders and
our ability to make dividend distributions at expected levels; the
availability of external capital on acceptable terms or at all,
including due to rising interest rates, changes in our credit
ratings and the value of our common stock, bank failures or other
events affecting financial institutions and other factors; our
ability to manage our indebtedness level and covenants in and
changes to the terms of such indebtedness; the failure of our
tenants, operators, and borrowers to comply with federal, state,
and local laws and regulations, including resident health and
safety requirements, as well as licensure, certification, and
inspection requirements; required regulatory approvals to transfer
our senior housing properties; compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act and fire, safety, and other regulations; laws or
regulations prohibiting eviction of our tenants; the requirements
of, or changes to, governmental reimbursement programs such as

potential deferred and contingent tax liabilities from corporate
acquisitions; calculating non-REIT tax earnings and profits
distributions; ownership limits in our charter that restrict
ownership in our stock; provisions of Maryland law and our charter
that could prevent a transaction that may otherwise be in the
interest of our stockholders; conflicts of interest between the
interests of our stockholders and the interests of holders of

the operating agreement of Healthpeak OP and other agreements that
may delay or prevent unsolicited acquisitions and other

other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in our
