THIRD QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

THIRD QUARTER COMPARISON

YEAR TO DATE COMPARISON

Nareit FFO, FFO as Adjusted, AFFO, Same-Store Cash (Adjusted) NOI, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful in evaluating the operating performance and financial position of real estate investment trusts (see the “Funds From Operations” and “Adjusted Funds From Operations” sections of this release for additional information). See “September 30, 2023 Discussion and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for definitions, discussions of their uses and inherent limitations, and reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Investor Relations section of our website at http://ir.healthpeak.com/quarterly-results.

SAME-STORE (“SS”) OPERATING SUMMARY

The table below outlines the year-over-year three-month and year-to-date SS Cash (Adjusted) NOI growth.

DEVELOPMENT UPDATES

VANTAGE PHASE I

In September 2023, Healthpeak signed an additional 23,000 square foot lease with a global pharmaceutical company at its Vantage Phase I development in South San Francisco, California, bringing the property to 52% pre-leased.

Strategically located on Forbes Boulevard and at the doorstep of Genentech’s headquarters, the purpose-built lab campus will feature state-of-the-art design, an amenity center, flexible and efficient floor plates, and building systems accommodating a broad range of lab uses.

WEST CAMBRIDGE

In September 2023, the Cambridge City Council unanimously approved a comprehensive rezoning to allow for greater density and developable heights in the West Cambridge neighborhood of Alewife. Healthpeak’s vision for the neighborhood incorporates Alewife’s historic heritage and its innovative future by creating an active public realm driven by world-class real estate including lab, R&D and multi-family residential. Healthpeak owns a total of 39 acres in Alewife.

GRAPHITE BIO LEASE MODIFICATION

In October 2023, Healthpeak modified an approximately 85,200 square foot lease with Graphite Bio (Nasdaq: GRPH) at the Nexus on Grand campus in South San Francisco, California. Under the terms of the modification, Graphite Bio’s lease expiration date was accelerated to December 31, 2024 in exchange for total consideration of $58 million, consisting of:

The $58 million in total consideration is equivalent to approximately 5+ years of Graphite Bio’s original contractual rental payments, including operating expense reimbursements, and provides ample time for Healthpeak to release the remaining 53,000 square feet of fully built-out, Class A space to new tenants. Healthpeak retains the right to immediately release this space with no change in the payments due from Graphite Bio or the subtenant.

Healthpeak received the GRESB Green Star designation for the twelfth consecutive year. Healthpeak was also named a finalist by Governance Intelligence and IR Magazine for Best Proxy Statement for the fourth consecutive year and Best ESG Reporting for the second consecutive year, and included in Fortune‘s list of Best Workplaces in Real Estate for the second consecutive year.
