(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Ventas, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated or except where the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us” or “our”), an S&P 500 company, is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with a highly diversified portfolio of seniors housing, research and innovation, and healthcare properties located throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. As of June 30, 2019 , we owned approximately 1,200 properties (including properties owned through investments in unconsolidated entities and properties classified as held for sale), consisting of seniors housing communities, medical office buildings (“MOBs”), research and innovation centers, inpatient rehabilitation facilities (“IRFs”) and long-term acute care facilities (“LTACs”), and health systems. We had 17 properties under development, including four properties that are owned by unconsolidated real estate entities. Our company was originally founded in 1983 and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

We primarily invest in seniors housing, research and innovation, and healthcare properties through acquisitions and lease our properties to unaffiliated tenants or operate them through independent third-party managers. As of June 30, 2019 , we leased a total of 424 properties (excluding properties within our office operations reportable business segment) to various healthcare operating companies under “triple-net” or “absolute-net” leases that obligate the tenants to pay all property-related expenses, including maintenance, utilities, repairs, taxes, insurance and capital expenditures.

As of June 30, 2019 , pursuant to long-term management agreements, we engaged independent operators, such as Atria Senior Living, Inc. (“Atria”), Sunrise Senior Living, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Sunrise”) and Eclipse Senior Living (“ESL”), to manage 372 seniors housing communities for us.

Our three largest tenants, Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Brookdale Senior Living”), Ardent Health Partners, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Ardent”) and Kindred Healthcare, LLC (formerly Kindred Healthcare, Inc., together with its subsidiaries , “Kindred”) leased from us 124 properties (excluding two properties managed by Brookdale Senior Living pursuant to a long-term management agreement), 11 properties and 32 properties, respectively, as of June 30, 2019 .

Through our Lillibridge Healthcare Services, Inc. subsidiary and our ownership interest in PMB Real Estate Services LLC, we also provide MOB management, leasing, marketing, facility development and advisory services to highly rated hospitals and health systems throughout the United States. In addition, from time to time, we make secured and non-mortgage loans and other investments relating to seniors housing and healthcare operators or properties.

NOTE 2—ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 . The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , filed with the SEC on February 8, 2019 . Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries and the joint venture entities over which we exercise control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation, and our net earnings are reduced by the portion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests.

GAAP requires us to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the

8

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

(Unaudited)

entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; and (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. We consolidate our investment in a VIE when we determine that we are its primary beneficiary. We may change our original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affects the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary.

We identify the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. We perform this analysis on an ongoing basis.

As it relates to investments in joint ventures, GAAP may preclude consolidation by the sole general partner in certain circumstances based on the type of rights held by the limited partner or partners. We assess limited partners’ rights and their impact on our consolidation conclusions, and we reassess if there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of the limited partners, the sole general partner increases or decreases its ownership of limited partnership (“LP”) interests or there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding LP interests. We also apply this guidance to managing member interests in limited liability companies (“LLCs”).

We consolidate several VIEs that share the following common characteristics:

• the VIE is in the legal form of an LP or LLC;

• the VIE was designed to own and manage its underlying real estate investments;

• we are the general partner or managing member of the VIE;

• we own a majority of the voting interests in the VIE;

• a minority of voting interests in the VIE are owned by external third parties, unrelated to us;

• the minority owners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights in the VIE; and

• we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

We have separately identified certain special purpose entities that were established to allow investments in research and innovation projects by tax credit investors (“TCIs”). We have determined that these special purpose entities are VIEs, we are a holder of variable interests and that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, and therefore we consolidate these special purpose entities. Our primary beneficiary determination is based upon several factors, including but not limited to the rights we have in directing the activities which most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance as well as certain guarantees which protect the TCIs from losses should a tax credit recapture event occur.

In general, the assets of consolidated VIEs are available only for the settlement of the obligations of the respective entities. Unless otherwise required by the LP or LLC agreement, any mortgage loans of the consolidated VIEs are non-recourse to us. The table below summarizes the total assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs as reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Redeemable OP Unitholder and Noncontrolling Interests

We own a majority interest in NHP/PMB L.P. (“NHP/PMB”), a limited partnership formed in 2008 to acquire properties from entities affiliated with Pacific Medical Buildings LLC (“PMB”). Given our wholly owned subsidiary is the general partner and the primary beneficiary of NHP/PMB, we consolidate it as a VIE. As of June 30, 2019 , third party investors owned 3.3 million Class A limited partnership units in NHP/PMB (“OP Units”), which represented 31 % of the total units then outstanding, and we owned 7.3 million Class B limited partnership units in NHP/PMB, representing the remaining 69 % . At any time following the first anniversary of the date of their issuance, the OP Units may be redeemed at the election of the holder for cash or, at our option, 0.9051 shares of our common stock per OP Unit, subject to further adjustment in certain circumstances. We are party by assumption to a registration rights agreement with the holders of the OP Units that requires us, subject to the terms and conditions and certain exceptions set forth therein, to file and maintain a registration statement relating to the issuance of shares of our common stock upon redemption of OP Units.

As redemption rights are outside of our control, the redeemable OP Units are classified outside of permanent equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We reflect the redeemable OP Units at the greater of cost or redemption value. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the fair value of the redeemable OP Units was $ 204.9 million and $ 174.6 million , respectively. We recognize changes in fair value through capital in excess of par value, net of cash distributions paid and purchases by us of any OP Units. Our diluted earnings per share includes the effect of any potential shares outstanding from redemption of the OP Units.

Certain noncontrolling interests of other consolidated joint ventures were also classified as redeemable at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . Accordingly, we record the carrying amount of these noncontrolling interests at the greater of their initial carrying amount (increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interests’ share of net income or loss and distributions) or the redemption value. Our joint venture partners have certain redemption rights with respect to their noncontrolling interests in these joint ventures that are outside of our control, and the redeemable noncontrolling interests are classified outside of permanent equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize changes in the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests through capital in excess of par value.

Accounting for Historic and New Markets Tax Credits

For certain of our research and innovation centers, we are party to contractual arrangements with TCIs that were established to enable the TCIs to receive benefits of historic tax credits (“HTCs”) and/or new markets tax credits (“NMTCs”). As of June 30, 2019 , we owned ten properties, including one property in development, that had syndicated HTCs or NMTCs, or both, to TCIs.

In general, TCIs invest cash into special purpose entities that invest in entities that own the subject property and generate the tax credits. The TCIs receive substantially all of the tax credits and hold only a nominal interest in the economic risk and benefits of the special purpose entities.

HTCs are delivered to the TCIs upon substantial completion of the project. NMTCs are allowed for up to 39 % of a qualified investment and are delivered to the TCIs after the investment has been funded and spent on a qualified business. HTCs are subject to 20 % recapture per year beginning one year after the completion of the historic rehabilitation of the subject property. NMTCs are subject to 100 % recapture until the end of the seventh year following the qualifying investment. We have provided the TCIs with certain guarantees which protect the TCIs from losses should a tax credit recapture event occur. The contractual arrangements with the TCIs include a put/call provision whereby we may be obligated or entitled to repurchase the interest of the TCIs in the special purpose entities at the end of the tax credit recapture period. We anticipate that either the TCIs will exercise their put rights or we will exercise our call rights prior to the applicable tax credit recapture periods.

The portion of the TCI’s investment that is attributed to the put is recorded at fair value at inception in accounts payable and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and is accreted to the expected put price as interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income over the recapture period. The remaining balance of the TCI’s investment is initially recorded in accounts payable and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be relieved upon delivery of the tax credit to the TCI, as a reduction in the carrying value of the subject property, net of allocated expenses. Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the transaction are deferred and will be recognized as an increase in the cost basis of the subject property upon the recognition of the related tax credit as discussed above.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We periodically evaluate our long-lived assets, primarily consisting of investments in real estate, for impairment indicators. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the related real estate investments in relation to the future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying operations. In performing this evaluation, we consider market conditions and our current intentions with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. We adjust the net book value of leased properties and other long-lived assets to fair value if the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows, including sales proceeds, is less than book value. We recognize an impairment loss at the time we make any such determination.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and we determine fair value based on the assumptions that we expect market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within levels one and two of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within level three of the hierarchy).

Level one inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access. Level two inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in level one that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level two inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and other inputs for the asset or liability that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves. Level three inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which typically are based on our own assumptions, because there is little, if any, related market activity. If the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the entire fair value measurement falls is the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. If the volume and level of market activity for an asset or liability has decreased significantly relative to the normal market activity for such asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities), then transactions or quoted prices may not accurately reflect fair value. In addition, if there is evidence that a transaction for an asset or liability is not orderly, little, if any, weight is placed on that transaction price as an indicator of fair value. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

We use the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of our financial instruments.

• Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

• Escrow deposits and restricted cash - The carrying amount of escrow deposits and restricted cash reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

• Loans receivable - We estimate the fair value of loans receivable using level two and level three inputs. We discount future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with the same terms and length to maturity would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings.

• Available for sale securities - We estimate the fair value of marketable debt securities, including corporate bonds, if any, using level two inputs. We observe quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access. We estimate the fair value of certain government-sponsored pooled loan investments using level three inputs. We consider credit spreads, underlying asset performance and credit quality, and default rates.

• Derivative instruments - With the assistance of a third party, we estimate the fair value of derivative instruments, including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts, using level two inputs.

◦ Interest rate caps - We observe forward yield curves and other relevant information.

◦ Interest rate swaps - We observe alternative financing rates derived from market-based financing rates, forward yield curves and discount rates.

11

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

(Unaudited)

◦ Foreign currency forward contracts - We estimate the future values of the two currency tranches using forward exchange rates that are based on traded forward points and calculate a present value of the net amount using a discount factor based on observable traded interest rates.

• Senior notes payable and other debt - We estimate the fair value of senior notes payable and other debt using level two inputs. We discount the future cash flows using current interest rates at which we could obtain similar borrowings. For mortgage debt, we may estimate fair value using level three inputs, similar to those used in determining fair value of loans receivable (above).

• Redeemable OP unitholder interests - We estimate the fair value of our redeemable OP unitholder interests using level one inputs. We base fair value on the closing price of our common stock, as OP Units may be redeemed at the election of the holder for cash or, at our option, shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Revenue Recognition

Triple-Net Leased Properties and Office Operations

Certain of our triple-net leases and most of our MOB and research and innovation center (collectively, “office operations”) leases provide for periodic and determinable increases in base rent. We recognize base rental revenues under these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term when collectability of substantially all rents is probable. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis generally results in recognized revenues during the first half of a lease term exceeding the cash amounts contractually due from our tenants, creating a straight-line rent receivable that is included in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , this cumulative excess totaled $ 266.0 million and $ 250.0 million (net of allowances of $ 44.6 million , recorded under prior accounting guidance), respectively (excluding properties classified as held for sale).

Certain of our leases provide for periodic increases in base rent only if certain revenue parameters or other substantive contingencies are met. We recognize the increased rental revenue under these leases as the related parameters or contingencies are met, rather than on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term.

We assess the probability of collecting substantially all rents under our leases based on several factors, including, among other things, payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, the historical operations and operating trends of the property, the historical payment pattern of the tenant, the type of property, the value of the underlying collateral, if any, expected future performance of the property and current economic conditions. If our evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that we will be unable to collect substantially all rents, we recognize a charge to rental income. If we change our conclusions regarding the probability of collecting rent payments required by a lease, we may recognize adjustments to rental income in the period we make such change in our conclusions.

Senior Living Operations

Our resident agreements are accounted for as leases and we recognize resident fees and services, other than move-in fees, monthly as services are provided. We recognize move-in fees on a straight-line basis over the average resident stay.

Other

We recognize interest income from loans and investments, including discounts and premiums, using the effective interest method when collectability is reasonably assured. We apply the effective interest method on a loan-by-loan basis and recognize discounts and premiums as yield adjustments over the related loan term. We recognize interest income on an impaired loan to the extent our estimate of the fair value of the collateral is sufficient to support the balance of the loan, other receivables and all related accrued interest. When the balance of the loan, other receivables and all related accrued interest is equal to or less than our estimate of the fair value of the collateral, we recognize interest income on a cash basis. We provide a reserve against an impaired loan to the extent our total investment in the loan exceeds our estimate of the fair value of the loan collateral.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Standards

We adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) on January 1, 2019, which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet and, among other changes, eliminates the requirement in current GAAP for an entity to use bright-line tests in determining lease classification.

ASC 842 allows for several practical expedients which permit the following: no reassessment of lease classification or initial direct costs; use of the standard’s effective date as the date of initial application; and no separation of non-lease components from the related lease components and, instead, to account for those components as a single lease component if certain criteria are met. We elected these practical expedients using the effective date as our date of initial application. Therefore, financial information and disclosures under ASC 842 are not provided for periods prior to January 1, 2019.

Upon adoption, we recognized both right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases in which we lease land, real property or other equipment. We now also report revenues and expenses within our triple-net leased properties reportable business segment for real estate taxes and insurance that are escrowed and obligations of the tenants in accordance with their respective leases with us. This reporting will have no impact on our net income. Resident leases within our senior living operations reportable business segment and office leases also contain service elements. We elected the practical expedient to account for our resident and office leases as a single lease component. Also, we now expense certain leasing costs, other than leasing commissions, as they are incurred. Prior to the adoption of ASC 842, GAAP provided for the deferral and amortization of such costs over the applicable lease term. We are continuing to amortize any unamortized deferred lease costs as of December 31, 2018 over their respective lease terms.

As of January 1, 2019, we recognized operating lease assets of $ 361.7 million on our Consolidated Balance Sheets which includes the present value of minimum lease payments as well as certain existing above and/or below market lease intangible values associated with such leases. Also upon adoption, we recognized operating lease liabilities of $ 216.9 million on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The present value of minimum lease payments was calculated on each lease using a discount rate that approximates our incremental borrowing rate primarily adjusted for the length of the individual lease terms. As of the January 1, 2019 adoption date, we utilized discount rates ranging from 6.15 % to 7.60 % for our ground leases.

Upon adoption, we recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $ 0.6 million primarily relating to certain costs associated with unexecuted leases that were deferred as of December 31, 2018.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require an entity to evaluate a current estimate of all expected credit losses over the life of a financial instrument, which may result in earlier recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. Under existing guidance, an entity generally only considered past events and current conditions in measuring an incurred loss. ASU 2016-13 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2020 and we are still evaluating the impact of adoption. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3—CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

As of June 30, 2019 , Atria, Sunrise, Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent, ESL and Kindred managed or operated approximately 22.1 % , 11.0 % , 8.2 % , 5.1 % , 4.3 % and 1.1 % , respectively, of our consolidated real estate investments based on gross book value (excluding properties classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2019 ). Because Atria, Sunrise and ESL manage our properties in exchange for the receipt of a management fee from us, we are not directly exposed to the credit risk of our managers in the same manner or to the same extent as our triple-net tenants.

Based on gross book value, approximately 39.8 % and 21.1 % of our consolidated real estate investments were seniors housing communities included in the senior living operations and triple-net leased properties reportable business segments, respectively (excluding properties classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2019 ). MOBs, research and innovation centers, IRFs and LTACs, health systems, skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and secured loans receivable and investments collectively comprised the remaining 39.1 % . Our consolidated properties were located in 45 states, the District of Columbia, seven Canadian provinces and the United Kingdom as of June 30, 2019 , with properties in one state ( California ) accounting for more than 10 % of our total continuing revenues and net operating income (“NOI,” which is defined as total revenues, excluding interest and other income, less property-level operating expenses and office building services costs) for the three months then ended.

Brookdale Senior Living (2) 4.8 % 2.5 %
Ardent 3.1 3.0
Kindred 3.4 3.4
NOI:
Brookdale Senior Living (2) 8.9 % 4.3 %
Ardent 5.8 5.5
Kindred 6.4 6.3

(1) Total revenues include office building and other services revenue, income from loans and investments and interest and other income.

(2) 2018 includes the impact of a net non-cash charge of $ 21.3 million related to April 2018 lease extensions.

Each of our leases with Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent and Kindred is a triple-net lease that obligates the tenant to pay all property-related expenses, including maintenance, utilities, repairs, taxes, insurance and capital expenditures, and to comply with the terms of the mortgage financing documents, if any, affecting the properties. In addition, each of our Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent and Kindred leases has a corporate guaranty.

The properties we lease to Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent and Kindred accounted for a significant portion of our triple-net leased properties segment revenues and NOI for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . If Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent or Kindred becomes unable or unwilling to satisfy its obligations to us or to renew its leases with us upon expiration of the terms thereof, our financial condition and results of operations could decline, and our ability to service our indebtedness and to make distributions to our stockholders could be impaired. We cannot assure you that Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent and Kindred will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them to satisfy their respective obligations to us, and any failure, inability or unwillingness by Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent or Kindred to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, our ability to service our indebtedness and other obligations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders, as required for us to continue to qualify as a REIT (a “Material Adverse Effect”). We also cannot assure you that Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent and Kindred will elect to renew their respective leases with us upon expiration of the leases or that we will be able to reposition any non-renewed properties on a timely basis or on the same or better economic terms, if at all.

Our 9.8 % ownership interest in Ardent entitles us to certain rights and minority protections, as well as the right to appoint one of 11 members on the Ardent Board of Directors.

Senior Living Operations

As of June 30, 2019 , Atria, Sunrise and ESL, collectively, provided comprehensive property management and accounting services with respect to 347 of our 367 consolidated seniors housing communities, for which we pay annual management fees pursuant to long-term management agreements.

We rely on our managers’ personnel, expertise, technical resources and information systems, proprietary information, good faith and judgment to manage our senior living operations efficiently and effectively. We also rely on our managers to set appropriate resident fees and otherwise operate our seniors housing communities in compliance with the terms of our management agreements and all applicable laws and regulations. Although we have various rights as the property owner under our management agreements, including various rights to terminate and exercise remedies under the agreements as provided therein, Atria’s, Sunrise’s or ESL’s failure, inability or unwillingness to satisfy its respective obligations under those agreements, to efficiently and effectively manage our properties or to provide timely and accurate accounting information with respect thereto could have a Material Adverse Effect on us. In addition, significant changes in Atria’s, Sunrise’s or ESL’s senior management or equity ownership or any adverse developments in their businesses or financial condition could have a Material Adverse Effect on us.

NOTE 4—DISPOSITIONS

2019 Activity

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , we sold seven triple-net leased properties, six MOBs and our leasehold interest in one vacant land parcel for aggregate consideration of $ 74.4 million , and we recognized a gain on the sale of these assets of $ 24.6 million .

Real Estate Impairment

We recognized impairments of $ 13.5 million and $ 10.7 million , respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , which are recorded in depreciation and amortization in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and relate primarily to our triple-net leased properties and office operations reportable business segments. Our recorded impairments were primarily the result of a change in our intent to hold the impaired assets. In most cases, we recognize an impairment in the periods in which our change in intent is made.

The 2024 and 2026 notes were purchased at a price of 102 % and 98 % of par, respectively, and have an effective interest rate of 8.1 % and 8.3 % , respectively. These investments are classified as available for sale and are reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

In June 2019, we provided new secured debt financing of $ 490 million to certain subsidiaries of Colony Capital, Inc. The London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) based debt financing has a five-year term (inclusive of three one-year extension options) and an effective interest rate of 9.2 % as of June 30, 2019 . In connection with this transaction, our previous loan to certain subsidiaries of Colony Capital, Inc. of $ 282 million was paid in full and we recognized a gain of $ 0.5 million in income from loans and investments in our Consolidated Statement of Income.

NOTE 6—INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

We report investments in unconsolidated entities over whose operating and financial policies we have the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. We are not required to consolidate these entities because our joint venture partners have significant participating rights, nor are these entities considered VIEs, as they are controlled by equity holders with sufficient capital. At June 30, 2019 , we had a 25 % interest in a joint venture that has a 90 % or more ownership in six properties, excluding properties under development. We account for our interests in real estate joint ventures, as well as our 34 % interest in Atria, 34 % interest in ESL and 9.8 % interest in Ardent, which are included within other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, under the equity method of accounting.

With the exception of our interests in Atria, ESL and Ardent, we provide various services to unconsolidated entities in exchange for fees and reimbursements. Total management fees earned in connection with these entities were $ 0.8 million and $ 2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and $ 1.6 million and $ 4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, which is included in office building and other services revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

In March 2018, we recognized an impairment charge of $ 35.7 million relating to one of our equity investments in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture consisting principally of SNFs, which is recorded in loss from unconsolidated entities in our Consolidated Statements of Income. We completed the sale of our 25 % interest to our joint venture partner in July 2018.

(1) At June 30, 2019 , we had $ 415.3 million of borrowings outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility and commercial paper program, net of $ 82.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.

Credit Facilities, Commercial Paper and Unsecured Term Loans

Our unsecured credit facility is comprised of a $ 3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, priced at LIBOR plus 0.875 % as of June 30, 2019 . The unsecured revolving credit facility matures in 2021, but may be extended at our option subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions for two additional periods of six months each. The unsecured revolving credit facility also includes an accordion feature that permits us to increase our aggregate borrowing capacity thereunder to up to $ 3.75 billion .

In January 2019, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ventas Realty, Limited Partnership (“Ventas Realty”), established an unsecured commercial paper program. Under the terms of the program, we may issue from time to time unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $ 1.0 billion . The notes are sold under customary terms in the United States commercial paper note market and are ranked pari passu with all of Ventas Realty’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ventas, Inc. As of June 30, 2019, $ 270.0 million was outstanding under our commercial paper program.

As of June 30, 2019 , $ 227.3 million was outstanding under the unsecured revolving credit facility with an additional

$ 23.7 million restricted to support outstanding letters of credit. In addition, we limit our utilization of the unsecured revolving credit facility in order to maintain liquidity and to support our commercial paper program. Including these internal limits, we had $ 2.5 billion in available liquidity under the unsecured revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2019 .

In June 2019, we repaid $ 100.0 million of the balance outstanding on the $ 300.0 million unsecured term loan that matures in 2023 and repaid in full the $ 600.0 million unsecured term loan that was set to mature in 2024 and, as a result, we recognized a non-cash charge to loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 3.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2019 , we had a $ 200.0 million unsecured term loan priced at LIBOR plus 0.90 % that matures in 2023. The term loan also includes an accordion feature that effectively permits us to increase our aggregate borrowings thereunder to up to $ 800.0 million .

As of June 30, 2019 , we had a $ 400.0 million secured revolving construction credit facility with $ 123.2 million of borrowings outstanding. The secured revolving construction credit facility matures in 2022 and is primarily used to finance the development of research and innovation centers and other construction projects.

Senior Notes

In January 2019, we redeemed $ 258.8 million aggregate principal amount then outstanding of our 5.45 % senior notes due 2043 at a public offering price at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Notice of the redemption was given in November 2018 and, as a result, we recognized a non-cash charge to loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 7.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 and $ 0.4 million during the first quarter of 2019.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

In February 2019, Ventas Realty issued and sold $ 400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50 % senior notes due 2024 at a public offering price equal to 99.88 % of par and $ 300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875 % senior notes due 2049 at a public offering price equal to 99.77 % of par.

In June 2019, Ventas Realty issued $ 450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.65 % senior notes due 2025 at a public offering price equal to 99.45 % of par. The notes were settled and proceeds were received in July 2019.

In July 2019, in connection with an announced cash tender offer for such notes, we redeemed $ 397.1 million aggregate principal amount then outstanding of our 2.70 % senior notes due 2020 for a tender offer consideration of 100.37 % of par value, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the payment date. Notice of the redemption was given in June 2019 and, as a result, we recognized a non-cash charge to loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

NOTE 11—LITIGATION

Proceedings against Tenants, Operators and Managers

From time to time, Atria, Sunrise, Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent, Kindred, ESL and our other tenants, operators and managers are parties to certain legal actions, regulatory investigations and claims arising in the conduct of their business and operations. Even though we generally are not party to these proceedings, the unfavorable resolution of any such actions, investigations or claims could, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect such tenants’, operators’ or managers’ liquidity, financial condition or results of operations and their ability to satisfy their respective obligations to us, which, in turn, could have a Material Adverse Effect on us.

Proceedings Indemnified and Defended by Third Parties

From time to time, we are party to certain legal actions, regulatory investigations and claims for which third parties are contractually obligated to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. The tenants of our triple-net leased properties and, in some cases, their affiliates are required by the terms of their leases and other agreements with us to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless against certain actions, investigations and claims arising in the course of their business and related to the operations of our triple-net leased properties. In addition, third parties from whom we acquired certain of our assets and, in some cases, their

21

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

(Unaudited)

affiliates are required by the terms of the related conveyance documents to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless against certain actions, investigations and claims related to the acquired assets and arising prior to our ownership or related to excluded assets and liabilities. In some cases, a portion of the purchase price consideration is held in escrow for a specified period of time as collateral for these indemnification obligations. We are presently being defended by certain tenants and other obligated third parties in these types of matters. We cannot assure you that our tenants, their affiliates or other obligated third parties will continue to defend us in these matters, that our tenants, their affiliates or other obligated third parties will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them to satisfy their defense and indemnification obligations to us or that any purchase price consideration held in escrow will be sufficient to satisfy claims for which we are entitled to indemnification. The unfavorable resolution of any such actions, investigations or claims could, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect our tenants’ or other obligated third parties’ liquidity, financial condition or results of operations and their ability to satisfy their respective obligations to us, which, in turn, could have a Material Adverse Effect on us.

Proceedings Arising in Connection with Senior Living and Office Operations; Other Litigation

From time to time, we are party to various legal actions, regulatory investigations and claims (some of which may not be insured and some of which may allege large damage amounts) arising in connection with our senior living and office operations or otherwise in the course of our business. In limited circumstances, the manager of the applicable seniors housing community, MOB or research and innovation center may be contractually obligated to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless against such actions, investigations and claims. It is the opinion of management, except as otherwise set forth in this note, that the disposition of any such actions, investigations and claims that are currently pending will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on us. However, regardless of their merits, we may be forced to expend significant financial resources to defend and resolve these matters. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, investigations and claims, and if management’s assessment of our liability with respect thereto is incorrect, such actions, investigations and claims could have a Material Adverse Effect on us.

NOTE 12—INCOME TAXES

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for every year beginning with the year ended December 31, 1999. We have also elected for certain of our subsidiaries to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS” or “TRS entities”), which are subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes. All entities other than the TRS entities are collectively referred to as the “REIT” within this note. Certain REIT entities are subject to foreign income tax.

Although the TRS entities and certain other foreign entities have paid minimal cash federal, state and foreign income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , their income tax liabilities may increase in future periods as we exhaust net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and as our senior living and other operations grow. Such increases could be significant.

Our consolidated provisions for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were benefits of $ 57.8 million and $ 0.7 million , respectively. Our consolidated provisions for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were benefits of $ 59.0 million and $ 4.0 million , respectively. The income tax benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily due to the $ 57.6 million reversal of valuation allowances recorded against the net deferred tax assets of certain of our TRS entities. The income tax benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were primarily due to operating losses at our TRS entities.

During the second quarter of 2019, we concluded it was “more-likely-than-not” that these deferred tax assets would be realized, which resulted in a $ 57.6 million deferred tax benefit. These deferred tax assets are primarily US federal NOL carryforwards which begin to expire in 2031. This conclusion was based on recently sustained profitability and recent upward revisions to estimates of future taxable income for these TRS entities.

Realization of a deferred tax benefit related to NOLs depends, in part, upon generating sufficient taxable income within the relevant carryforward period. In addition to the aforementioned NOLs, the company has other TRS NOL carryforwards that will begin to expire in 2026, while REIT NOL carryforwards will begin to expire within the current year.

Each TRS is a tax paying component for purposes of classifying deferred tax assets and liabilities. Net deferred tax liabilities with respect to our TRS entities totaled $ 149.5 million and $ 205.2 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, and related primarily to differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of fixed and intangible assets, net of loss carryforwards.

22

Generally, we are subject to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the year ended December 31, 2015 and subsequent years and are subject to audit by state taxing authorities for the year ended December 31, 2014 and subsequent years. We are subject to audit generally under the statutes of limitation by the Canada Revenue Agency and provincial authorities with respect to the Canadian entities for the year ended December 31, 2014 and subsequent years. We are subject to audit in the United Kingdom generally for periods ended in and subsequent to 2017.

NOTE 13—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Capital Stock

From time to time, we may sell up to an aggregate of $ 1.0 billion of our common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program (“ATM program”). During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , we sold 1.6 million shares of common stock under our ATM program for gross proceeds of $ 64.15 per share. As of June 30, 2019 , $ 900.0 million of our common stock remained available for sale under our ATM program.

In June 2019, we sold 12.7 million shares of our common stock under a registered public offering for gross proceeds of $ 62.75 per share. We used the net proceeds to fund a bridge loan to Le Groupe Maurice (“LGM”) in connection with our pending acquisition of a seniors housing portfolio in Canada. We intend to use any net proceeds not used for such purpose for working capital and other general corporate purposes. See "NOTE 17 —SUBSEQUENT EVENT."

NOTE 15—SEGMENT INFORMATION

As of June 30, 2019 , we operated through three reportable business segments: triple-net leased properties, senior living operations and office operations. In our triple-net leased properties segment, we invest in and own seniors housing and healthcare properties throughout the United States and the United Kingdom and lease those properties to healthcare operating companies under “triple-net” or “absolute-net” leases that obligate the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. In our senior living operations segment, we invest in seniors housing communities throughout the United States and Canada and engage independent operators, such as Atria, Sunrise and ESL, to manage those communities. In our office operations segment, we primarily acquire, own, develop, lease and manage MOBs and research and innovation centers throughout the United States. Information provided for “all other” includes income from loans and investments and other miscellaneous income and various corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable business segments. Assets included in “all other” consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash, restricted cash, loans receivable and investments, and miscellaneous accounts receivable.

Our chief operating decision makers evaluate performance of the combined properties in each reportable business segment and determine how to allocate resources to those segments, in significant part, based on segment NOI and related measures. We define segment NOI as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and office building services costs . We consider segment NOI useful because it allows investors, analysts and our management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare our operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies between periods on a consistent basis. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical consolidated operating results, segment NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to common stockholders as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

NOTE 17—SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In June 2019, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire 31 Canadian seniors housing communities and certain in-progress developments in an 85/15% partnership with the principal of LGM. After closing of the acquisition (the “Acquisition Closing”), the portfolio will continue to be managed by LGM. We will also obtain the exclusive right to jointly develop and own future LGM developments. The acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals, and is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2019. However, there can be no assurance as to the completion or terms of the acquisition and joint venture.

In July 2019, we closed the first phase of the acquisition by funding C $ 947 million (US $ 723 million ) to LGM as a bridge loan to enable LGM to buy out its former partner. The bridge loan is required to be fully repaid upon the Acquisition Closing.

These forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ from our expectations. We do not undertake a duty to update these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.

Our actual future results and trends may differ materially from expectations depending on a variety of factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These factors include without limitation:

• The ability and willingness of our tenants, operators, borrowers, managers and other third parties to satisfy their obligations under their respective contractual arrangements with us, including, in some cases, their obligations to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against various claims, litigation and liabilities;

• The ability of our tenants, operators, borrowers and managers to maintain the financial strength and liquidity necessary to satisfy their respective obligations and liabilities to third parties, including without limitation obligations under their existing credit facilities and other indebtedness;

• Our success in implementing our business strategy and our ability to identify, underwrite, finance, consummate and integrate diversifying acquisitions and investments;

• Macroeconomic conditions such as a disruption of or lack of access to the capital markets, changes in the debt rating on U.S. government securities, default or delay in payment by the United States of its obligations, and changes in the federal or state budgets resulting in the reduction or nonpayment of Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement rates;

• The nature and extent of future competition, including new construction in the markets in which our seniors housing communities and office buildings are located;

• The extent and effect of future or pending healthcare reform and regulation, including cost containment measures and changes in reimbursement policies, procedures and rates;

• Increases in our borrowing costs as a result of changes in interest rates and other factors, including the potential phasing out of London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) after 2021;

• The ability of our tenants, operators and managers, as applicable, to comply with laws, rules and regulations in the operation of our properties, to deliver high-quality services, to attract and retain qualified personnel and to attract residents and patients;

• Changes in general economic conditions or economic conditions in the markets in which we may, from time to time, compete, and the effect of those changes on our revenues, earnings and funding sources;

• Our ability to pay down, refinance, restructure or extend our indebtedness as it becomes due;

41

• Our ability and willingness to maintain our qualification as a REIT in light of economic, market, legal, tax and other considerations;

• Final determination of our taxable net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the year ending December 31, 2019 ;

• The ability and willingness of our tenants to renew their leases with us upon expiration of the leases, our ability to reposition our properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event we exercise our right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations, including indemnification obligations, we may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing tenant;

• Risks associated with our senior living operating portfolio, such as factors that can cause volatility in our operating income and earnings generated by those properties, including without limitation national and regional economic conditions, development of new competing properties, costs of food, materials, energy, labor and services, employee benefit costs, insurance costs and professional and general liability claims, and the timely delivery of accurate property-level financial results for those properties;

• Changes in exchange rates for any foreign currency in which we may, from time to time, conduct business;

• Year-over-year changes in the Consumer Price Index or the U.K. Retail Price Index and the effect of those changes on the rent escalators contained in our leases and on our earnings;

• Our ability and the ability of our tenants, operators, borrowers and managers to obtain and maintain adequate property, liability and other insurance from reputable, financially stable providers;

• The impact of damage to our properties from catastrophic weather and other natural events and the physical effects of climate change;

• The impact of increased operating costs and uninsured professional liability claims on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations or that of our tenants, operators, borrowers and managers and our ability and the ability of our tenants, operators, borrowers and managers to accurately estimate the magnitude of those claims;

• Risks associated with our office building portfolio and operations, including our ability to successfully design, develop and manage office buildings and to retain key personnel;

• The ability of the hospitals on or near whose campuses our medical office buildings (“MOBs”) are located and their affiliated health systems to remain competitive and financially viable and to attract physicians and physician groups;

• Risks associated with our investments in joint ventures and unconsolidated entities, including our lack of sole decision-making authority and our reliance on our joint venture partners’ financial condition;

• Our ability to obtain the financial results expected from our development and redevelopment projects, including projects undertaken through our joint ventures;

• The impact of market or issuer events on the liquidity or value of our investments in marketable securities;

• Consolidation in the seniors housing and healthcare industries resulting in a change of control of, or a competitor’s investment in, one or more of our tenants, operators, borrowers or managers or significant changes in the senior management of our tenants, operators, borrowers or managers;

• The impact of litigation or any financial, accounting, legal or regulatory issues that may affect us or our tenants, operators, borrowers or managers; and

• Changes in accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and our ability to make estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates, which could have an effect on our earnings.

Many of these factors are beyond our control and the control of our management.

Company Overview

We are a REIT with a highly diversified portfolio of seniors housing, research and innovation, and healthcare properties located throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. As of June 30, 2019 , we owned approximately 1,200 properties (including properties owned through investments in unconsolidated entities and properties classified as held for sale), consisting of seniors housing communities, MOBs, research and innovation centers, inpatient rehabilitation facilities (“IRFs”) and long-term acute care facilities (“LTACs”), and health systems. We had 17 properties under development, including four properties that are owned by unconsolidated real estate entities. We are an S&P 500 company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

We primarily invest in seniors housing, research and innovation, and healthcare properties through acquisitions and lease our properties to unaffiliated tenants or operate them through independent third-party managers. As of June 30, 2019 , we leased a total of 424 properties (excluding properties within our office operations reportable business segment) to various healthcare operating companies under “triple-net” or “absolute-net” leases that obligate the tenants to pay all property-related expenses, including maintenance, utilities, repairs, taxes, insurance and capital expenditures.

As of June 30, 2019 , pursuant to long-term management agreements, we engaged independent operators, such as Atria, Sunrise and ESL, to manage 372 seniors housing communities for us.

Our three largest tenants, Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent and Kindred leased from us 124 properties (excluding two properties managed by Brookdale Senior Living pursuant to a long-term management agreement), 11 properties and 32 properties, respectively, as of June 30, 2019 .

Through our Lillibridge Healthcare Services, Inc. subsidiary and our ownership interest in PMB Real Estate Services LLC, we also provide MOB management, leasing, marketing, facility development and advisory services to highly rated hospitals and health systems throughout the United States. In addition, from time to time, we make secured and non-mortgage loans and other investments relating to seniors housing and healthcare operators or properties.

We aim to enhance shareholder value by delivering consistent, superior total returns through a strategy of: (1) generating reliable and growing cash flows; (2) maintaining a balanced, diversified portfolio of high-quality assets; and (3) preserving our financial strength, flexibility and liquidity.

Our ability to access capital in a timely and cost effective manner is critical to the success of our business strategy because it affects our ability to satisfy existing obligations, including the repayment of maturing indebtedness, and to make future investments. Factors such as general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our securities, expectations of our potential future earnings and cash distributions, and the trading price of our common stock that are beyond our control and

43

fluctuate over time all impact our access to and cost of external capital. For that reason, we generally attempt to match the long-term duration of our investments in real property with long-term financing through the issuance of shares of our common stock or the incurrence of long-term fixed rate debt.

2019 Highlights

Investments and Dispositions

• During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , we sold 13 properties and our leasehold interest in one vacant land parcel for aggregate consideration of $74.4 million , and we recognized a gain on the sale of these assets of $24.6 million .

In connection with this transaction, our previous loan to certain subsidiaries of Colony Capital, Inc. of $282 million was paid in full and we recognized a gain of $0.5 million .

• In June 2019, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire 31 Canadian seniors housing communities and certain in-progress developments in an 85/15% partnership with the principal of Le Groupe Maurice (“LGM”). After closing of the acquisition (the “Acquisition Closing”), the portfolio will continue to be managed by LGM. We will also obtain the exclusive right to jointly develop and own future LGM developments. In July 2019, we closed the first phase of the acquisition by funding C $947 million (US $723 million ) to LGM as a bridge loan to enable LGM to buy out its former partner. The bridge loan is required to be fully repaid upon the Acquisition Closing.

• For the six months ended June 30, 2019 , we sold an aggregate of 14.3 million shares of common stock under both a registered public offering and our “at-the-market” equity offering program (“ATM program”) for average gross proceeds of $62.91 per share.

Triple-Net Lease Expirations

If our tenants are not able or willing to renew our triple-net leases upon expiration, we may be unable to reposition the applicable properties on a timely basis or on the same or better economic terms, if at all. Although our lease expirations are staggered, the non-renewal of some or all of our triple-net leases that expire in any given year could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, our ability to service our indebtedness and other obligations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders, as required for us to continue to qualify as a REIT (a “Material Adverse Effect”). During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , we had no triple-net lease renewals or expirations without renewal that, in the aggregate, had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations for that period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and with the SEC instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base these estimates on our experience and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, if our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, we may have applied a different accounting treatment, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. We periodically reevaluate our estimates and assumptions, and in the event they prove to be different from actual results, we make adjustments in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , filed with the SEC on February 8, 2019 , contains further information regarding the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. With the exception of the adoption of ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), there have been no material changes to these policies in 2019. Please refer to “ NOTE 2—ACCOUNTING POLICIES ” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding recently adopted accounting standards, including ASC 842.

Results of Operations

As of June 30, 2019 , we operated through three reportable business segments: triple-net leased properties, senior living operations and office operations. In our triple-net leased properties segment, we invest in and own seniors housing and healthcare properties throughout the United States and the United Kingdom and lease those properties to healthcare operating companies under “triple-net” or “absolute-net” leases that obligate the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. In our senior living operations segment, we invest in seniors housing communities throughout the United States and Canada and engage independent operators, such as Atria, Sunrise and ESL, to manage those communities. In our office operations segment, we primarily acquire, own, develop, lease and manage MOBs and research and innovation centers throughout the United States. Information provided for “all other” includes income from loans and investments and other miscellaneous income and various corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to any of our three reportable business segments. Assets included in “all other” consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash, restricted cash, loans receivable and investments, and miscellaneous accounts receivable.

Our chief operating decision makers evaluate performance of the combined properties in each reportable business segment and determine how to allocate resources to those segments, in significant part, based on segment NOI and related measures. For further information regarding our reportable business segments and a discussion of our definition of segment NOI, see “ NOTE 15—SEGMENT INFORMATION ” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional disclosure and reconciliations of net income attributable to common stockholders, as computed in accordance with GAAP, to NOI.

In our triple-net leased properties reportable business segment, our revenues generally consist of fixed rental amounts (subject to annual contractual escalations) received from our tenants in accordance with the applicable lease terms.

Pursuant to our adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, we now report revenues and property-level operating expenses within our triple-net leased properties reportable business segment for real estate tax and insurance expenses that are paid from escrows collected from our tenants. For further information regarding our adoption of ASC 842, see “ NOTE 2—ACCOUNTING POLICIES ” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The increase in our triple-net leased properties segment NOI in the second quarter of 2019 over the same period in 2018 is attributable primarily to rent increases due to contractual escalations pursuant to the terms of our leases and the second quarter 2018 non-cash expense of $21.3 million related to the Brookdale Senior Living lease extensions.

Occupancy rates may affect the profitability of our tenants’ operations. The following table sets forth average continuing occupancy rates related to the triple-net leased properties we owned at June 30, 2019 for the first quarter of 2019 (which is the most recent information available to us from our tenants) and average continuing occupancy rates related to the triple-net leased properties we owned at June 30, 2018 for the first quarter of 2018 .

All Other

Information provided for all other segment NOI includes income from loans and investments and other miscellaneous income not directly attributable to any of our three reportable business segments. The $37.2 million decrease in all other segment NOI for the three months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 is primarily due to reduced interest income related to the $700.0 million term loan that we made to Ardent in March 2017, which was fully repaid in June 2018.

51

Interest and Other Income

The $6.9 million increase in interest and other income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 is primarily due to the recognition of cash income on warrants related to our research and innovation properties.

Interest Expense

The $2.7 million decrease in total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 is attributable to a decrease of $3.9 million due to lower debt balances, partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million due to a higher effective interest rate, including the amortization of any fair value adjustments, and an increase of $0.5 million from other interest expense. Our effective interest rate was 4.0% and 3.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Capitalized interest for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $2.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense related to continuing operations increased $2.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to asset acquisitions, net of dispositions.

(Loss) Gain on Extinguishment of Debt, Net

Loss on extinguishment of debt, net for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was due primarily to the July 2019 redemption and repayment of $397.1 million aggregate principal amount then outstanding of our 2.70% senior notes due 2020, which was announced in June 2019, and the June 2019 repayments of unsecured term loans. See “ NOTE 9—SENIOR NOTES PAYABLE AND OTHER DEBT ” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other

The $15.0 million change to other during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 is primarily due to insurance recoveries related to natural disasters.

Loss from unconsolidated entities

The loss from unconsolidated entities decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to our share of Ardent’s losses on the extinguishment of debt resulting from its second quarter 2018 debt refinancing.

Gain on Real Estate Dispositions

The gain on real estate dispositions decreased $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to higher disposition activity in 2018.

Income Tax Benefit

The $57.0 million increase in income tax benefit related to continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 is primarily due to a $57.6 million reversal of valuation allowances recorded against the net deferred tax assets of certain of our TRS entities in the second quarter of 2019.

The increase in our office operations segment NOI for the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 is attributable primarily to in-place rent escalations, property acquisitions and developments that became operational, partially offset by asset dispositions.

55

The increase in our same-store office operations segment NOI for the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 is attributable primarily to in-place rent escalations and increases in occupancy.

All Other

The $51.0 million decrease in all other segment NOI for the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 is primarily due to reduced interest income related to the $700.0 million term loan that we made to Ardent in March 2017, which was fully repaid in June 2018.

Interest Expense

The $3.4 million decrease in total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 is attributable to a decrease of $8.4 million due to lower debt balances, partially offset by an increase of $3.5 million due to a slightly higher effective interest rate, including the amortization of any fair value adjustments, and an increase of $1.5 million from other interest expense. Our effective interest rate was 3.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . Capitalized interest for both the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $4.0 million.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense related to continuing operations increased during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 , primarily due to asset acquisitions, net of dispositions.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt, Net

Loss on extinguishment of debt, net for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was due primarily to the July 2019 redemption and repayment of $397.1 million aggregate principal amount then outstanding of our 2.70% senior notes due 2020, which was announced in June 2019, and the June 2019 repayments of unsecured term loans. Loss on extinguishment of debt, net for the same period in 2018 was due primarily to the February 2018 redemption and repayment of the $502.1 million aggregate principal amount then outstanding of our 4.00% senior notes due in 2019. See “ NOTE 9—SENIOR NOTES PAYABLE AND OTHER DEBT ” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Merger-Related Expenses and Deal Costs

The $15.1 million decrease in merger-related expenses and deal costs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 was due primarily to costs associated with the transition of the management of 76 private pay seniors housing communities to ESL during the first quarter of 2018.

Other

The $18.1 million change in other for the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 is primarily due to insurance recoveries related to natural disasters.

Loss from Unconsolidated Entities

The $43.6 million decrease in loss from unconsolidated entities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 is due to a $35.7 million impairment relating to the carrying costs of one of our equity method investments consisting principally of SNFs, prior to the sale in July 2018.

Gain on Real Estate Dispositions

The $11.3 million decrease in gain on real estate dispositions to $24.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 is due primarily to higher disposition activity in 2018.

Income Tax Benefit

The $55.0 million increase in income tax benefit related to continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 is primarily due to a $57.6 million reversal of valuation allowances recorded against the net deferred tax assets of certain of our TRS entities in the second quarter of 2019.

56

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider certain non-GAAP financial measures to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is a measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not so excluded from or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Described below are the non-GAAP financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance and that we consider most useful to investors, together with reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures we present in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not be comparable to those presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. You should not consider these measures as alternatives to net income attributable to common stockholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of our liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, you should examine these measures in conjunction with net income attributable to common stockholders as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors deem presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For that reason, we consider Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and normalized FFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance of an equity REIT. In particular, we believe that normalized FFO is useful because it allows investors, analysts and our management to compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by non-recurring items and other non-operational events such as transactions and litigation. In some cases, we provide information about identified non-cash components of FFO and normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of those items on our financial results.

We use the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) definition of FFO. Nareit defines FFO as net income attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate property, including gains or losses on re-measurement of equity method investments, and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We define normalized FFO as FFO excluding the following income and expense items (which may be recurring in nature): (a) merger-related costs and expenses, including amortization of intangibles, transition and integration expenses, and deal costs and expenses, including expenses and recoveries relating to acquisition lawsuits; (b) the impact of any expenses related to asset impairment and valuation allowances, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, or additional costs, expenses, discounts, make-whole payments, penalties or premiums incurred as a result of early retirement or payment of our debt; (c) the non-cash effect of income tax benefits or expenses, the non-cash impact of changes to our executive equity compensation plan, derivative transactions that have non-cash mark-to-market impacts on our Consolidated Statements of Income and non-cash charges related to lease terminations; (d) the financial impact of contingent consideration, severance-related costs and charitable donations made to the Ventas Charitable Foundation; (e) gains and losses for non-operational foreign currency hedge agreements and changes in the fair value of financial instruments; (f) gains and losses on non-real estate dispositions and other unusual items related to unconsolidated entities; (g) expenses related to the re-audit and re-review in 2014 of our historical financial statements and related matters; and (h) net expenses or recoveries related to natural disasters.

57

The following table summarizes our FFO and normalized FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . The decrease in normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 is principally due to the dilutive impact of using the proceeds derived from 2018 loan repayments and asset dispositions to reduce debt and invest in development and redevelopment projects.

Adjusted EBITDA

We consider Adjusted EBITDA an important supplemental measure because it provides another manner in which to evaluate our operating performance and serves as another indicator of our credit strength and our ability to service our debt obligations. We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated earnings, which includes amounts in discontinued operations, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash stock-based compensation expense), excluding gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, our consolidated joint venture partners’ share of EBITDA, merger-related expenses and deal costs, expenses related to the re-audit and re-review in 2014 of our historical financial statements, net gains or losses on real estate activity, gains or losses on re-measurement of equity interest upon acquisition, changes in the fair value of financial instruments, unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, net expenses or recoveries related to natural disasters and non-cash charges related to lease terminations, and including our share of EBITDA from unconsolidated entities and adjustments for other immaterial or identified items. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA:

NOI

We also consider NOI an important supplemental measure because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess our unlevered property-level operating results and to compare our operating results with those of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis. We define NOI as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and office building services costs . Cash receipts may differ due to straight-line recognition of certain rental income and the application of other GAAP policies. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders to NOI:

NOI $ 505,099 $ 518,010 $ 1,016,549 $ 1,039,053

See “Results of Operations” for discussions regarding both segment NOI and same-store segment NOI. We define same-store as properties owned, consolidated and operational for the full period in both comparison periods; provided, however, that we may include selected properties that otherwise meet the same-store criteria if they are included in substantially all of, but not a full, period for one or both of the comparison periods, and in our judgment such inclusion provides a more meaningful presentation of our portfolio performance. Same-store excludes: (i) assets sold or classified as held for sale and assets whose operations were classified as discontinued operations; (ii) for assets included in our office operations reportable business segment, those properties that incur major property-level expenditures to maximize value, increase net operating income, maintain a market-competitive position and/or achieve property stabilization; and (iii) for other assets, those properties that are scheduled for operator transition, or have transitioned operators, after the start of the prior comparison period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2019 , we had a total of $82.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, operating cash and cash related to our senior living operations and office operations reportable business segments that is deposited and held in property-level accounts. Funds maintained in the property-level accounts are used primarily for the payment of property-level expenses, debt service payments and certain capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2019 , we also had escrow deposits and restricted cash of $56.3 million and $276.8 million of unused borrowing capacity available under our secured revolving construction credit facility. We limit our utilization of the unsecured revolving credit facility in order to maintain liquidity and to support our commercial paper program. Including these internal limits, we had $2.5 billion in available liquidity under the unsecured revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2019 . See “ NOTE 9—SENIOR NOTES PAYABLE AND OTHER DEBT ” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

60

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , our principal sources of liquidity were cash flows from operations, proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities, borrowings under our commercial paper program, proceeds from asset sales and cash on hand.

For the next 12 months, our principal liquidity needs are to: (i) fund operating expenses; (ii) meet our debt service requirements; (iii) repay maturing mortgage and other debt, including $805.6 million of senior notes; (iv) fund acquisitions, investments and commitments, including our pending transaction with LGM, and any development and redevelopment activities; (v) fund capital expenditures; and (vi) make distributions to our stockholders and unitholders, as required for us to continue to qualify as a REIT. We expect that these liquidity needs generally will be satisfied by a combination of the following: cash flows from operations, cash on hand, debt assumptions and financings (including secured financings), issuances of debt and equity securities, dispositions of assets (in whole or in part through joint venture arrangements with third parties) and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program. However, an inability to access liquidity through multiple capital sources concurrently could have a Material Adverse Effect on us.

Credit Facilities, Commercial Paper and Unsecured Term Loans

Our unsecured credit facility is comprised of a $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, priced at LIBOR plus 0.875% as of June 30, 2019 . The unsecured revolving credit facility matures in 2021, but may be extended at our option subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions for two additional periods of six months each. The unsecured revolving credit facility also includes an accordion feature that permits us to increase our aggregate borrowing capacity thereunder to up to $3.75 billion .

In January 2019, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ventas Realty, Limited Partnership (“Ventas Realty”), established an unsecured commercial paper program. Under the terms of the program, we may issue from time to time unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $1.0 billion . The notes are sold under customary terms in the United States commercial paper note market and are ranked pari passu with all of Ventas Realty’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ventas, Inc. As of June 30, 2019, $270.0 million was outstanding under our commercial paper program.

As of June 30, 2019 , $227.3 million was outstanding under the unsecured revolving credit facility with an additional

$23.7 million restricted to support outstanding letters of credit. In addition, we limit our utilization of the unsecured revolving credit facility in order to maintain liquidity and to support our commercial paper program. Including these internal limits, we had $2.5 billion in available liquidity under the unsecured revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2019 .

In June 2019, we repaid $100.0 million of the balance outstanding on the $300.0 million unsecured term loan that matures in 2023 and repaid in full the $600.0 million unsecured term loan that was set to mature in 2024.

As of June 30, 2019 , we had a $200.0 million unsecured term loan priced at LIBOR plus 0.90% , that matures in 2023. The term loan also includes an accordion feature that effectively permits us to increase our aggregate borrowings thereunder to up to $800.0 million .

As of June 30, 2019 , we had a $400.0 million secured revolving construction credit facility with $123.2 million of borrowings outstanding. The secured revolving construction credit facility matures in 2022 and is primarily used to finance the development of research and innovation centers and other construction projects.

Senior Notes

In January 2019, we redeemed $258.8 million aggregate principal amount then outstanding of our 5.45% senior notes due 2043 at a public offering price at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Notice of the redemption was given in November 2018 and, as a result, we recognized a non-cash charge to loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 and $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2019.

In February 2019, Ventas Realty issued and sold $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% senior notes due 2024 at a public offering price equal to 99.88% of par and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due 2049 at a public offering price equal to 99.77% of par.

In June 2019, Ventas Realty issued $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.65% senior notes due 2025 at a public offering price equal to 99.45% of par. The notes were settled and proceeds were received in July 2019.

61

In July 2019, in connection with an announced cash tender offer for such notes, we redeemed $397.1 million aggregate principal amount then outstanding of our 2.70% senior notes due 2020 for a tender offer consideration of 100.37% of par value, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the payment date. Notice of the redemption was given in June 2019 and, as a result, we recognized a non-cash charge to loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Equity Offerings

From time to time, we may sell up to an aggregate of $1.0 billion of our common stock under our ATM program. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , we sold 1.6 million shares of common stock under our ATM program for gross proceeds of $64.15 per share. As of June 30, 2019 , $900.0 million of our common stock remained available for sale under our ATM program.

In June 2019, we sold 12.7 million shares of our common stock under a registered public offering for gross proceeds of $62.75 per share. We used the net proceeds to fund a bridge loan to LGM in connection with our pending acquisition of a seniors housing portfolio in Canada. We intend to use any net proceeds not used for such purpose for working capital and other general corporate purposes. See “NOTE 17—SUBSEQUENT EVENT” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash flows:

nm - not meaningful

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased $18.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 due primarily to property-level NOI growth, lower merger-related expenses and deal costs and a decrease in interest expense due to debt repayments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities decreased $1.2 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 primarily due to increased acquisition and investment activity, in addition to decreased real estate dispositions and loans receivable proceeds.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $1.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 primarily due to higher debt repayments during 2018 using proceeds from asset sales and loans receivable repayments, and the issuance of common stock in 2019.

Capital Expenditures

The terms of our triple-net leases generally obligate our tenants to pay all capital expenditures necessary to maintain and improve our triple-net leased properties. However, from time to time, we may fund the capital expenditures for our triple-

62

net leased properties through loans or advances to the tenants, which may increase the amount of rent payable with respect to the properties in certain cases. We may also fund capital expenditures for which we may become responsible upon expiration of our triple-net leases or in the event that our tenants are unable or unwilling to meet their obligations under those leases. We also expect to fund capital expenditures related to our senior living operations and office operations reportable business segments with the cash flows from the properties or through additional borrowings. We expect that these liquidity needs generally will be satisfied by a combination of the following: cash flows from operations, cash on hand, debt assumptions and financings (including secured financings), issuances of debt and equity securities, dispositions of assets (in whole or in part through joint venture arrangements with third parties) and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities.

To the extent that unanticipated capital expenditure needs arise or significant borrowings are required, our liquidity may be affected adversely. Our ability to borrow additional funds may be restricted in certain circumstances by the terms of the instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness.

We are party to certain agreements that obligate us to develop seniors housing or healthcare properties funded through capital that we and, in certain circumstances, our joint venture partners provide. As of June 30, 2019 , we had 17 properties under development pursuant to these agreements, including four properties that are owned by unconsolidated real estate entities. In addition, from time to time, we engage in redevelopment projects with respect to our existing seniors housing communities to maximize the value, increase NOI, maintain a market-competitive position, achieve property stabilization or change the primary use of the property.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following discussion of our exposure to various market risks contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These projected results have been prepared utilizing certain assumptions considered reasonable in light of information currently available to us. Nevertheless, because of the inherent unpredictability of interest rates and other factors, actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking information.

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates with respect to borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility and our unsecured term loans, certain of our mortgage loans that are floating rate obligations, mortgage loans receivable that bear interest at floating rates and marketable debt securities. These market risks result primarily from changes in LIBOR rates or prime rates. To manage these risks, we continuously monitor our level of floating rate debt with respect to total debt and other factors, including our assessment of current and future economic conditions.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the fair value of our secured and non-mortgage loans receivable, based on our estimates of currently prevailing rates for comparable loans, was $695.7 million and $479.4 million , respectively.

The fair value of our fixed and variable rate debt is based on current interest rates at which we could obtain similar borrowings. For fixed rate debt, interest rate fluctuations generally affect the fair value, but not our earnings or cash flows. Therefore, interest rate risk does not have a significant impact on our fixed rate debt obligations until their maturity or earlier prepayment and refinancing. If interest rates have risen at the time we seek to refinance our fixed rate debt, whether at maturity or otherwise, our future earnings and cash flows could be adversely affected by additional borrowing costs. Conversely, lower interest rates at the time of refinancing may reduce our overall borrowing costs.

To highlight the sensitivity of our fixed rate debt to changes in interest rates, the following summary shows the effects of a hypothetical instantaneous change of 100 basis points in interest rates:

As of June 30, 2019 As of December 31, 2018
(In thousands)
Gross book value $ 9,490,742 $ 9,043,734
Fair value (1) 9,905,441 8,926,280
Fair value reflecting change in interest rates (1) :
-100 basis points 10,477,676 9,574,799
+100 basis points 9,393,024 8,568,149

(1) The change in fair value of our fixed rate debt from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019 was due primarily to 2019 senior note issuances, partially offset by 2019 senior note and unsecured term loan repayments.

The variable rate debt in the table above reflects, in part, the effect of $148.5 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities ranging from March 2022 to May 2022, in each case that effectively convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. In addition, the fixed rate debt in the table above reflects, in part, the effect of $506.4 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities ranging from August 2020 to September 2027, in each case that effectively convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt.

The decrease in our outstanding variable rate debt at June 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 is primarily attributable to unsecured revolving credit facility and term loan repayments, partially offset by borrowings under our commercial paper program.

Assuming a 100 basis point increase in the weighted average interest rate related to our variable rate debt and assuming no change in our variable rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2019 , interest expense on an annualized basis would increase by approximately $5.8 million , or $0.02 per diluted common share.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , our joint venture partners’ aggregate share of total debt was $101.8 million and $100.9 million , respectively, with respect to certain properties we owned through consolidated joint ventures. Total debt does not include our portion of debt related to investments in unconsolidated entities, which was $46.0 million and $40.8 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

As a result of our Canadian and United Kingdom operations, we are subject to fluctuations in certain foreign currency exchange rates that may, from time to time, affect our financial condition and operating performance. Based solely on our results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 (including the impact of existing hedging arrangements), if the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the British pound and Canadian dollar were to increase or decrease by one standard deviation compared to the average exchange rate during the year, our normalized FFO per share for the three and six months of 2019 would decrease or increase, as applicable, by less than $0.01 per share or 1%. We will continue to mitigate these risks through a layered approach to hedging looking out for the next year and continual assessment of our foreign operational capital structure. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that any such fluctuations will not have an effect on our earnings.
