2012 Guidance
The Company currently forecasts Normalized FFO for 2012 from $3.15 to
$3.18 per diluted common share. The Company's guidance range for the
full year 2012 for net income per share and Normalized FFO per share,
with underlying assumptions and timing of certain transactions, is set
forth and reconciled below:

The Company's guidance range reflects the existence of volatile economic
conditions, but does not assume any material deterioration in tenant
credit quality and/or performance of its portfolio. The guidance is
based on a number of assumptions, many of which are outside the
Company's control and all of which are subject to change. The Company
expects to make new investments in health care real estate during the
remainder of 2012 that meet its underwriting criteria and where the
spreads over its cost of capital generates sufficient returns to its
shareholders. These new investments are expected to be funded by the
Company's liquid investments and by short-term and long-term debt
financing. The Company's guidance may change if actual results vary from
these assumptions.

(1) | Management believes that funds from operations (FFO) 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 uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could
be less informative, and should be supplemented with a measure
such as FFO. The term FFO was designed by the real estate
investment trust industry to address this issue. Our measure may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
REITs. Consequently, our funds from operations may not provide a
meaningful measure of our performance as compared to that of other
REITs. Since other REITs may not use our definition of FFO,
caution should be exercised when comparing our Company’s FFO to
that of other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from
operating activities in accordance with GAAP (funds from
operations does not include changes in operating assets and
liabilities) and therefore should not be considered an alternative
to net earnings as an indication of operating performance, or to
net cash flow from operating activities as determined by GAAP in
the United States, as a measure of liquidity and is not
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. |
| | | | | | | | |
|
(2) | Normalized FFO excludes from FFO certain items which, due to
their infrequent or unpredictable nature, may create some
difficulty in comparing FFO for the current period to similar
prior periods, and may include, but are not limited to, impairment
of assets, gains and losses attributable to the acquisition and
disposition of assets and liabilities, recoveries of previous
write-downs, and changes in the fair value of interest rate swap
agreements. |
