### Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical factual statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding our and our officers’ intent, belief or expectation as identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “project,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “forecast,” “plan,” “potential,” “estimate,” “could,” “would,” “should” and other comparable and derivative terms or the negatives thereof. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and views about future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect our future financial condition and results of operations. While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith belief and assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon current information, we can give no assurance that our expectations or forecasts will be attained. As more fully set forth under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations contained in the forward-looking statements include, among other things:

- our reliance on a concentration of a small number of tenants and operators for a significant percentage of our revenues;
- the financial condition of our existing and future tenants, operators and borrowers, including potential bankruptcies and downturns in their businesses, and their legal and regulatory proceedings, which results in uncertainties regarding our ability to continue to realize the full benefit of such tenants’ and operators’ leases and borrowers’ loans;
- the ability of our existing and future tenants, operators and borrowers to conduct their respective businesses in a manner sufficient to maintain or increase their revenues and to generate sufficient income to make rent and loan payments to us and our ability to recover investments made, if applicable, in their operations;
- competition for the acquisition and financing of suitable healthcare properties as well as competition for tenants and operators, including with respect to new leases and mortgages and the renewal or rollover of existing leases;
- our concentration in the healthcare property sector, particularly in senior housing, life sciences and medical office buildings, which makes our profitability more vulnerable to a downturn in a specific sector than if we were investing in multiple industries;
- our ability to identify replacement tenants and operators and the potential renovation costs and regulatory approvals associated therewith;
- the risks associated with property development and redevelopment, including costs above original estimates, project delays and lower occupancy rates and rents than expected;
- the risks associated with our investments in joint ventures and unconsolidated entities, including our lack of sole decision making authority and our reliance on our partners’ financial condition and continued cooperation;
- our ability to achieve the benefits of acquisitions or other investments within expected time frames or at all, or within expected cost projections;
- the potential impact on us and our tenants, operators and borrowers from current and future litigation matters, including the possibility of larger than expected litigation costs, adverse results and related developments;
- operational risks associated with third party management contracts, including the additional regulation and liabilities of our RIDEA lease structures;
- the effect on us and our tenants and operators of legislation, executive orders and other legal requirements, including compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, fire, safety and health regulations, environmental laws, the Affordable Care Act, licensure, certification and inspection requirements, and laws addressing entitlement programs and related services, including Medicare and Medicaid, which may result in future reductions in reimbursements or fines for noncompliance;
- changes in federal, state or local laws and regulations, including those affecting the healthcare industry that affect our costs of compliance or increase the costs, or otherwise affect the operations, of our tenants and operators;
- our ability to foreclose on collateral securing our real estate-related loans;
- volatility or uncertainty in the capital markets, the availability and cost of capital as impacted by interest rates, changes in our credit ratings, and the value of our common stock, and other conditions that may adversely impact our ability to fund our obligations or consummate transactions, or reduce the earnings from potential transactions;
- changes in global, national and local economic and other conditions, including currency exchange rates;
- our ability to manage our indebtedness level and changes in the terms of such indebtedness;
- competition for skilled management and other key personnel;
- the potential impact of uninsured or underinsured losses;
- our reliance on information technology systems and the potential impact of system failures, disruptions or breaches; and
- our ability to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”).

Except as required by law, we do not undertake, and hereby disclaim, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.

The information set forth in this Item 2 is intended to provide readers with an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. We will discuss and provide our analysis in the following order:

### Executive Summary

HCP, Inc., a Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 company, invests primarily in real estate serving the healthcare industry in the United States. We are a Maryland corporation organized in 1985 and qualify as a self-administered REIT. We acquire, develop, lease, manage and dispose of healthcare real estate. At September 30, 2018, our portfolio of investments, including properties in our unconsolidated joint ventures (“JVs”), consisted of interests in 775 properties.

We invest and manage our real estate portfolio for the long-term to maximize the benefit to our stockholders and support the growth of our dividends. The core elements of our strategy are: (i) to acquire, develop, lease, own and manage a diversified portfolio of quality healthcare properties across multiple geographic locations and business segments including senior housing, medical office, and life science, among others; (ii) to align ourselves with leading healthcare companies, operators and service providers which, over the long-term, should result in higher relative rental rates, net operating cash flows and appreciation of property values; and (iii) to maintain an investment grade balance sheet with adequate liquidity and long-term fixed rate debt financing with staggered maturities, which supports the longer-term nature of our investments, while reducing our exposure to interest rate volatility and refinancing risk at any point in the interest rate or credit cycles.

We believe our real estate portfolio holds the potential for increased future cash flows as it is well-maintained and in desirable locations. Our strategy for maximizing the benefits from these opportunities is to: (i) work with new or existing tenants and operators to address their space and capital needs; and (ii) provide high-quality property management services in order to motivate tenants to renew, expand or relocate into our properties.

The delivery of healthcare services requires real estate and, as a result, tenants and operators depend on real estate, in part, to maintain and grow their businesses. We believe that the healthcare real estate market provides investment opportunities due to the: (i) compelling long-term demographics driving the demand for healthcare services; (ii) specialized nature of healthcare real estate investing; and (iii) ongoing consolidation of the fragmented healthcare real estate sector.

While we emphasize healthcare real estate ownership, we may also provide real estate secured financing to, or invest in equity or debt securities of, healthcare operators or other entities engaged in healthcare real estate ownership. We may also acquire all or substantially all of the securities or assets of other REITs, operating companies or similar entities where such investments would be consistent with our investment strategies. We may co-invest alongside institutional or development investors through partnerships or limited liability companies.

We monitor, but do not limit, our investments based on the percentage of our total assets that may be invested in any one property type, investment vehicle or geographic location, the number of properties that may be leased to a single tenant or operator, or loans that may be made to a single borrower. In allocating capital, we target opportunities with the most attractive risk/reward profile for our portfolio as a whole. We may take additional measures to mitigate risk, including diversifying our investments (by sector, geography, tenant or operator), structuring transactions as master leases, requiring tenant or operator insurance and indemnifications, and obtaining credit enhancements in the form of guarantees, letters of credit or security deposits.

Our REIT qualification requires us to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains); therefore, we don’t retain a significant amount of capital. As a result, we regularly access the public equity and debt markets to raise the funds necessary to finance acquisitions and debt investments, develop and redevelop properties, and refinance maturing debt.

We maintain a disciplined balance sheet by actively managing our debt to equity levels and maintaining multiple sources of liquidity. Our debt obligations are primarily long-term fixed rate with staggered maturities.

We finance our investments based on our evaluation of available sources of funding. For short-term purposes, we may utilize our revolving line of credit facility or arrange for other short-term borrowings from banks or other sources. We arrange for longer-term financing by offering debt and equity securities, placing mortgage debt and obtaining capital from institutional lenders and JV partners.

### 2018 Transaction Overview

### Brookdale Transactions Update

- In January 2018, we sold the first of six agreed upon facilities to Brookdale Senior Living, Inc. (“Brookdale”) for $32 million. In April 2018, we sold the remaining five facilities to Brookdale for $243 million.
- In March 2018, we completed the acquisition of Brookdale’s noncontrolling interest in RIDEA I for $63 million.
- In June 2018, we entered into definitive agreements with a third-party buyer to sell certain triple-net and senior housing operating portfolio (“SHOP”) facilities previously leased to Brookdale. We sold the first 17 assets in October 2018 and anticipate the sale of the remaining two assets will close later in the fourth quarter of 2018, for total proceeds of approximately $377 million.
- As of September 30, 2018, we had completed the transition of 34 assets previously operated by Brookdale to other operators. An additional asset previously operated by Brookdale was transitioned to another operator subsequent to September 30, 2018.

See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

### Mountain View Campus Sale

- Subsequent to September 30, 2018, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Shoreline Technology Center life science campus located in Mountain View, California for $1.0 billion. Under the agreement, the buyer funded a $65 million nonrefundable deposit. The sale is expected to generate a gain on sale of approximately $700 million upon its anticipated closing in the fourth quarter 2018.

### U.K. Investment Update

- In June 2018, we entered into a joint venture with an institutional investor (the “U.K. JV”) through which we sold a 51% interest in United Kingdom (“U.K.”) assets previously owned by us (“the U.K. Portfolio”) based on a total value of £382 million ($507 million). We retained a 49% noncontrolling interest in the joint venture and received gross proceeds of $402 million, including proceeds from the refinancing of our previously held intercompany loans. Upon closing the U.K. JV, we deconsolidated the U.K. Portfolio, recognized its retained noncontrolling interest investment at fair value ($105 million) and recognized a gain on sale of $11 million.

Additionally, in August 2018, we sold our remaining £11 million U.K. development loan at par.

### MSREI MOB JV

- In August 2018, HCP and Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investment (“MSREI”) formed a joint venture (the “MSREI JV”) to own a portfolio of medical office buildings (“MOBs”), which HCP owns 51% of and consolidates. To form the joint venture, MSREI contributed cash of $298 million and HCP contributed nine wholly-owned MOBs (the “Contributed Assets”). The Contributed Assets are primarily located in Texas and Florida and were valued at approximately $320 million at the time of contribution. The MSREI JV used substantially all of the cash contributed by MSREI to acquire an additional portfolio of 16 MOBs in Greenville, South Carolina (the “Greenville Portfolio”) for $285 million. Concurrent with acquiring the additional MOBs, the MSREI JV entered into 10-year leases with an anchor tenant on each MOB in the Greenville Portfolio, which accounts for approximately 93% of the total leasable space in the portfolio.

### Other Real Estate Disposition and Loan Transactions

In addition to the transactions discussed above, we completed the following real estate disposition and loan transactions:

- In June 2018, we completed our previously announced deal to sell our remaining 40% ownership interest in RIDEA II for $90 million and cause Columbia Pacific Advisors, LLC to refinance our $242 million of loans receivable from RIDEA II, which resulted in total proceeds of $332 million.
- In 2016, we provided a £105 million ($131 million at closing) bridge loan to MMCG (the “U.K. Bridge Loan”) to fund the acquisition of a portfolio of seven care homes in the U.K. Under the bridge loan, we retained a call option to acquire those seven care homes at a future date for £105 million, subject to certain conditions being met. In March 2018, in conjunction with MMCG and HCP satisfying the conditions necessary to exercise our call option to acquire the seven care homes, we began consolidating the real estate. As a result, we derecognized the outstanding loan receivable and recognized a £29 million ($41 million) loss on consolidation for the difference between the carrying value of the loan receivable and the fair value of net assets and liabilities assumed, primarily real estate.

In June 2018, we completed the process of exercising the above-mentioned call option. The seven care homes acquired through the call option were included in the U.K. JV transaction (see U.K. Investment Update above). See Notes 4, 6 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

- In March 2018, we sold our Tandem Health Care mezzanine loan (“Tandem Mezzanine Loan”) to a third party for approximately $112 million, resulting in an impairment recovery, net of transaction costs and fees, of $3 million.
- During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we sold five SHOP assets for $61 million.
- During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we sold four life science assets for $269 million, 11 SHOP assets for $76 million and two MOBs for $21 million.

### Financing Activities

- On July 3, 2018, we exercised our right to repay the outstanding £169 million balance under our term loan and re-borrow $224 million with all other key terms unchanged.
- On July 16, 2018, we repaid $700 million of our 5.375% senior notes due 2021, primarily using proceeds from the U.K. JV transaction and other asset sales (see discussions above), and recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $44 million.
- On October 9, 2018, we provided a redemption notice to holders of our $450 million 3.75% senior unsecured notes due in 2019, which will be redeemed in November 2018. There will be no loss on debt extinguishment associated with this redemption.

### Development Activities

- In March 2018, we acquired the rights to develop a new 214,000 square foot life science facility on our existing Hayden Research Campus in Lexington, Massachusetts for $21 million. The planned development, 75 Hayden, will be a four-story, purpose-built Class A life science facility and parking garage.
- In September and October 2018, we signed two leases totaling 222,000 square feet at The Shore at Sierra Point, bringing the $224 million first phase of the development to 100% pre-leased. The Shore at Sierra Point is a 23-acre waterfront life science development offering state-of-the-art laboratory and office space along with premier amenities.

### Results of Operations

We evaluate our business and allocate resources among our reportable business segments: (i) senior housing triple-net, (ii) SHOP, (iii) life science and (iv) medical office. Under the life science and medical office segments, we invest through the acquisition and development of life science facilities and medical office buildings, which generally require a greater level of property management. Our senior housing facilities are managed utilizing triple-net leases and RIDEA structures. We have other non-reportable segments that are comprised primarily of our debt investments, hospital properties, unconsolidated JVs and U.K. investments. We evaluate performance based upon: (i) property net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) and (ii) Adjusted NOI (cash NOI) in each segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as updated by Note 2 herein.

### Non-GAAP Financial Measures

#### Net Operating Income

NOI and Adjusted NOI are non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) supplemental financial measures used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate. NOI is defined as rental and related revenues, including tenant recoveries, resident fees and services, and income from DFLs, less property level operating expenses (which exclude transition costs); NOI excludes all other financial statement amounts included in net income (loss) as presented in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes NOI provides relevant and useful information because it reflects only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents them on an unleveraged basis. Adjusted NOI is calculated as NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-line rents, DFL non-cash interest, amortization of market lease intangibles, termination fees, and the impact of deferred community fee income and expense. Adjusted NOI is oftentimes referred to as “Cash NOI.” During the fourth quarter of 2017, as a result of a change in how operating results are reported to our chief operating decision makers for the purpose of evaluating performance and allocating resources, we began excluding unconsolidated joint ventures from the evaluation of our segments' operating results. Unconsolidated joint ventures are now reflected in other non-reportable segments, and as a result, excluded from NOI and Adjusted NOI. Prior period NOI and Adjusted NOI have also been recast to conform to current period presentation, which excludes unconsolidated joint ventures. We use NOI and Adjusted NOI to make decisions about resource allocations, to assess and compare property level performance, and to evaluate our same property portfolio (“SPP”), as described below. We believe that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of operating performance to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP since it does not reflect various excluded items. Further, our definition of NOI may not be comparable to the definition used by other REITs or real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. For a reconciliation of NOI and Adjusted NOI to net income (loss) by segment, refer to Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating expenses generally relate to leased medical office and life science properties and SHOP facilities. We generally recover all or a portion of our leased medical office and life science property expenses through tenant recoveries. We present expenses as operating or general and administrative based on the underlying nature of the expense.

#### Same Property Portfolio

SPP NOI and Adjusted (Cash) NOI information allows us to evaluate the performance of our property portfolio under a consistent population by eliminating changes in the composition of our consolidated portfolio of properties. SPP NOI excludes certain non-property specific operating expenses that are allocated to each operating segment on a consolidated basis.

Properties are included in SPP once they are stabilized for the full period in both comparison periods. Newly acquired operating assets are generally considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up (typically when the tenant(s) control(s) the physical use of at least 80% of the space) or 12 months from the acquisition date. Newly completed developments and redevelopments are considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up or 24 months from the date the property is placed in service. Properties that experience a change in reporting structure, such as a transition from a triple-net lease to a RIDEA reporting structure, are considered stabilized after

12 months in operations under a consistent reporting structure. A property is removed from SPP when it is classified as held for sale, sold, placed into redevelopment, experiences a casualty event that significantly impacts operations or changes its reporting structure (such as triple-net to SHOP). For a reconciliation of SPP to total portfolio Adjusted NOI and other relevant disclosures by segment, refer to our Segment Analysis below.

#### Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

We believe FFO applicable to common shares, diluted FFO applicable to common shares, and diluted FFO per common share are important supplemental non-GAAP measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets utilizes straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that use historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. The term FFO was designed by the REIT industry to address this issue.

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), is net income (loss) applicable to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable property, including any current and deferred taxes directly associated with sales of depreciable property, impairments of, or related to, depreciable real estate, plus real estate and other depreciation and amortization, and adjustments to compute our share of FFO and FFO as adjusted (see below) from joint ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro-rata share of both our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We reflect our share of FFO for unconsolidated joint ventures by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. For consolidated joint ventures in which we do not own 100%, we reflect our share of the equity by adjusting our FFO to remove the third party ownership share of the applicable reconciling items based on actual ownership percentage for the applicable periods. Our pro-rata share information is prepared on a basis consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts, is intended to reflect our proportionate economic interest in the operating results of properties in our portfolio and is calculated by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period. We do not control the unconsolidated joint ventures, and the pro-rata presentations of reconciling items included in FFO do not represent our legal claim to such items. The joint venture members or partners are entitled to profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the joint venture agreements, which provide for such allocations generally according to their invested capital.

The presentation of pro-rata information has limitations, which include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses and (ii) other companies in our industry may calculate their pro-rata interest differently, limiting the usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, the pro-rata financial information should not be considered independently or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP financial statements, using the pro-rata financial information as a supplement.

FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss). We compute FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition; however, other REITs may report FFO differently or have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from ours.

In addition, we present FFO on an adjusted basis before the impact of non-comparable items including, but not limited to, transaction-related items, impairments (recoveries) of non-depreciable assets, severance and related charges, prepayment costs (benefits) associated with early retirement or payment of debt, litigation costs (recoveries), casualty-related charges (recoveries), foreign currency remeasurement losses (gains) and changes in tax legislation (“FFO as adjusted”). Transaction-related items include transaction expenses and gains/charges incurred as a result of mergers and acquisitions and lease amendment or termination activities. Prepayment costs (benefits) associated with early retirement of debt include 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 debt. Management believes that FFO as adjusted provides a meaningful supplemental measurement of our FFO run-rate and is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its FFO measure for the REIT industry, it also recognized that “management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and authority to publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community.” We believe stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts who review our operating performance are best served by an FFO run-rate earnings measure that includes certain other adjustments to net income (loss), in addition to adjustments made to arrive at the NAREIT defined measure of FFO. FFO as adjusted is used by management in analyzing our business and the performance of our properties, and we believe it is important that stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts understand this measure used by management. We use FFO as adjusted to: (i) evaluate our performance in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions, (ii) evaluate the performance of our management, (iii) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources, (iv) assess our performance as compared with similar real estate companies and the industry in general and (v) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating an adjusted FFO measure, and accordingly, our FFO as adjusted may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and FFO as adjusted and other relevant disclosure, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” below.

#### Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”)

FAD is defined as FFO as adjusted after excluding the impact of the following: (i) amortization of deferred compensation expense, (ii) amortization of deferred financing costs, net, (iii) straight-line rents, (iv) amortization of acquired market lease intangibles, net, (v) non-cash interest related to DFLs and lease incentive amortization (reduction of straight-line rents), and (vi) deferred revenues, excluding amounts amortized into rental income that are associated with tenant funded improvements owned/recognized by us and up-front cash payments made by tenants to reduce their contractual rents. Also, FAD: (i) is computed after deducting recurring capital expenditures, including second generation leasing costs and second generation tenant and capital improvements, and (ii) includes lease restructure payments and adjustments to compute our share of FAD from our unconsolidated joint ventures and those related to CCRC non-refundable entrance fees. Certain prior period amounts in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation” below for FAD have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. More specifically, recurring capital expenditures, including second generation leasing costs and second generation tenant and capital improvements ("FAD capital expenditures") excludes our share from unconsolidated joint ventures (currently reported in “other FAD adjustments”). Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro-rata share of both our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We reflect our share of FAD for unconsolidated joint ventures by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated joint ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our FAD to remove the third party ownership share of the applicable reconciling items based on actual ownership percentage for the applicable periods (see FFO above for further disclosure regarding our use of pro-rata share information and its limitations). Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating FAD, and accordingly, our FAD may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. Although our FAD computation may not be comparable to that of other REITs, management believes FAD provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our performance and is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. We believe FAD is an alternative run-rate earnings measure that improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and makes comparisons with: (i) expected results, (ii) results of previous periods and (iii) results among REITs more meaningful. FAD does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as it excludes the following items which generally flow through our cash flows from operating activities: (i) adjustments for changes in working capital or the actual timing of the payment of income or expense items that are accrued in the period, (ii) transaction-related costs, (iii) litigation settlement expenses, (iv) severance-related expenses and (v) actual cash receipts from interest income recognized on loans receivable (in contrast to our FAD adjustment to exclude non-cash interest and depreciation related to our investments in direct financing leases). Furthermore, FAD is adjusted for recurring capital expenditures, which are generally not considered when determining cash flows from operations or liquidity. FAD is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FAD and other relevant disclosure, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” below.

### Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

### Overview

#### Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

The following table summarizes results for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 (dollars in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 | 2017 | Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Net income (loss) applicable to common shares | $98,946 | $(7,788) | $106,734 |
| FFO | 155,632 | 155,248 | 384 |
| FFO as adjusted | 208,196 | 227,769 | (19,573) |
| FAD | 186,545 | 202,407 | (15,862) |

Net income applicable to common shares (“EPS”) increased primarily as a result of the following:

- an increase in net gain on sales of real estate during the third quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2017, primarily from the sale of life science assets;
- increased NOI from: (i) annual rent escalations, (ii) 2017 and 2018 acquisitions, and (iii) development and redevelopment projects placed in service during 2017 and 2018;
- a reduction in interest expense as a result of debt repayments primarily in the second and third quarters of 2017 and third quarter of 2018, partially offset by an increased average balance under our revolving credit facility during 2018;
- decreased impairment charges related to senior housing facilities during the third quarter of 2018;
- a reduction in loss on debt extinguishment related to the repurchases of our senior notes in July 2018 compared to July 2017; and
- casualty-related charges incurred due to hurricanes in the third quarter of 2017.

The increase in EPS was partially offset by:

- a reduction in NOI in our senior housing triple-net segment, primarily as a result of the transition of senior housing triple-net assets to SHOP during 2017 and 2018;
- a reduction in NOI in our SHOP segment, primarily as a result of occupancy declines and higher labor costs;
- a reduction in income as a result of: (i) asset sales during 2017 and 2018 and (ii) selling joint venture interests in the U.K. JV and MSREI JV (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements);
- a reduction in interest income primarily as a result of the sale of our Tandem Mezzanine Loan; and
- increased depreciation and amortization expense as a result of: (i) assets acquired during 2017 and (ii) development and redevelopment projects placed into operations during 2017 and 2018.

FFO increased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting EPS, except for the following, which are excluded from FFO:

- depreciation and amortization expense;
- impairments of senior housing facilities; and
- gain on sales of real estate.

FFO as adjusted decreased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting FFO, except for the following, which are excluded from FFO as adjusted:

- loss on debt extinguishments from the repurchases of our senior notes in July 2017 and July 2018;
- casualty-related charges due to hurricanes in the third quarter of 2017; and
- the impairment of our Tandem Mezzanine Loan in the third quarter of 2017.

FAD decreased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting FFO as adjusted, except for the impact of straight-line rents, which is excluded from FAD. The decrease in FAD was partially offset by increased non-refundable entrance fees from our CCRC JV and lower FAD capital expenditures during the third quarter of 2018.

#### Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

The following table summarizes results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 (dollars in thousands):

|  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 | 2017 | Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Net income (loss) applicable to common shares | $228,267 | $472,311 | $(244,044) |
| FFO | 585,001 | 608,162 | (23,161) |
| FFO as adjusted | 655,099 | 692,726 | (37,627) |
| FAD | 578,377 | 621,109 | (42,732) |

EPS decreased primarily as a result of the following:

- a loss on consolidation of seven care homes in the U.K. during the first quarter of 2018;
- a gain on sale of our Four Seasons senior notes (“Four Seasons Notes”) during the first quarter of 2017, which was not replicated in 2018;
- a reduction in NOI in our senior housing triple-net segment, primarily as a result of the sale of 64 senior housing triple-net assets during the first quarter of 2017 and the transition of senior housing triple-net assets to SHOP during 2017 and 2018;
- a reduction in NOI in our SHOP segment, primarily as a result of occupancy declines and higher labor costs;
- a reduction in income as a result of: (i) asset sales during 2017 and 2018 and (ii) selling joint venture interests in the U.K. JV and MSREI JV (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements);
- a reduction in interest income due to the: (i) payoff of our HC-One Facility in June 2017 and (ii) sale of our Tandem Mezzanine Loan in March 2018;
- increased depreciation and amortization expense as a result of: (i) assets acquired during 2017 and (ii) development and redevelopment projects placed into operations during 2017 and 2018, primarily in our life science and medical office segments;
- an increase in severance and related charges during 2018 primarily related to the departure of our former Executive Chairman; and
- a decrease in gain on sales of real estate during the first three quarters of 2017 compared to the first three quarters of 2018.

The decrease in EPS was partially offset by:

- increased NOI from: (i) annual rent escalations, (ii) 2017 and 2018 acquisitions, and (iii) development and redevelopment projects placed in service during 2017 and 2018;
- impairments of our Tandem Mezzanine Loan in the second and third quarters of 2017;
- impairments related to 11 underperforming senior housing triple-net facilities in the third quarter of 2017, partially offset by impairment charges on 16 SHOP assets and an undeveloped life science land parcel classified as held for sale during 2018;
- a reduction in interest expense as a result of debt repayments primarily in the second and third quarters of 2017 and third quarter of 2018, partially offset by an increased average balance under our revolving credit facility during 2018;
- a reduction in loss on debt extinguishment related to the repurchases of our senior notes in July 2018 compared to July 2017; and
- casualty-related charges incurred due to hurricanes in the third quarter of 2017.

FFO decreased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting EPS, except for the following, which are excluded from FFO:

- depreciation and amortization expense;
- impairments of facilities within our senior housing triple-net and SHOP segments;
- loss on consolidation; and
- gain on sales of real estate.

FFO as adjusted decreased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting FFO, except for the following, which are excluded from FFO as adjusted:

- severance and related charges;
- losses on debt extinguishments;
- casualty-related charges;
- a gain on sale of our Four Seasons Notes during the first quarter of 2017; and
- the impairments of our Tandem Mezzanine Loan in the second and third quarters of 2017 and an undeveloped life science land parcel in the second quarter of 2018.

FAD decreased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting FFO as adjusted, except for the impact of straight-line rents, which is excluded from FAD. Additionally, FAD decreased as a result of declines in non-refundable entrance fees from our CCRC JV during 2018, partially offset by lower FAD capital expenditures.

| Noncontrolling interests’ share in earnings | (3,555) | (1,937) | (1,618) | (9,546) | (7,687) | (1,859) |

#### Interest income

Interest income decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of: (i) the sale of our Tandem Mezzanine Loan during the first quarter of 2018 and (ii) the conversion of the U.K. Bridge Loan into real estate during the first quarter of 2018. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased as a result of the payoff of our HC-One Facility in June 2017.

#### Interest expense

Interest expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of senior unsecured notes, term loan, and mortgage debt repayments, which occurred primarily in the second and third quarters of 2017 and third quarter of 2018, partially offset by an increased average balance under our revolving credit facility during 2018.

Approximately 87% and 89% of our consolidated debt, inclusive of $43 million and $44 million of variable rate debt swapped to fixed through interest rate swaps, was fixed rate debt as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2018, our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt had weighted average interest rates of 4.03% and 3.35%, respectively. At September 30, 2017, our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt had weighted average interest rates of 4.19% and 2.17%, respectively. For a more detailed discussion of our interest rate risk, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 3 below.

#### Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of: (i) assets acquired during 2017 and 2018 (primarily in our life science and medical office segments) and (ii) development and redevelopment projects placed into operations during 2017 and 2018 (primarily in our life science and medical office segments), partially offset by: (i) dispositions of real estate throughout 2017 and 2018 (primarily in our senior housing triple-net and SHOP segments), (ii) classifying assets as held for sale during 2018 (primarily in our senior housing triple-net, SHOP and life science segments) and (iii) sale of a joint venture interest in the U.K. JV.

#### General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of increased compensation costs during 2018 and severance and related charges primarily resulting from the departure of our former Executive Chairman in March 2018.

#### Transaction costs

Transaction costs increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of costs associated with transitioning assets previously operated by Brookdale to new operators, partially offset by costs incurred for transactions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

#### Impairments (recoveries), net

We recognized impairments on three SHOP assets classified as held for sale during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Further, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized additional impairments on two SHOP portfolios (13 assets) and an undeveloped life science land parcel classified as held for sale.

We recognized impairments on 11 underperforming senior housing triple-net facilities and our Tandem Mezzanine Loan for the three months ended September 30, 2017. We recognized an additional impairment on our Tandem Mezzanine Loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

#### Gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we sold: (i) 11 SHOP facilities, (ii) four life science assets and (iii) two MOBs and recognized total net gain on sales of $95 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 we sold: (i) our remaining interest in RIDEA II, (ii) a 51% interest in our U.K. Portfolio, (iii) 21 SHOP facilities, (iv) four life science assets, (v) two MOBs and (vi) two senior housing triple-net facilities and recognized total net gain on sales of $162 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we sold two senior housing triple-net facilities, resulting in gain on sales of $5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (primarily in the first quarter of 2017), we primarily sold 66 senior housing triple-net assets, five life science facilities, a SHOP facility, a MOB and a 40% interest in RIDEA II and recognized total net gain on sales of $323 million.

#### Loss on debt extinguishments

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we repurchased $700 million of our 5.375% senior notes due 2021 and recognized a $44 million loss on debt extinguishment, primarily related to a premium for early payment.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased $500 million of our 5.375% senior notes due 2021 and recognized a $54 million loss on debt extinguishment, primarily related to a premium for early payment.

#### Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net, increased for the three months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of casualty-related charges incurred in the third quarter of 2017 and higher litigation costs incurred in 2017.

Other income (expense), net, decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of: (i) a loss on consolidation of seven U.K. care homes in March 2018 (see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information) and (ii) a gain on sale of our Four Seasons Notes in March 2017. The decrease in other income (expense), net was partially offset by: (i) the aforementioned casualty-related charges incurred in the third quarter of 2017 and (ii) decreased litigation costs in 2018.

#### Income tax benefit (expense)

Income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were primarily the result of income tax benefits from losses generated by certain of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, partially offset by income tax expense from the sale of our 40% investment in RIDEA II in June 2018 (see Note 4).

Income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were primarily the result of income tax benefits from losses generated by certain of our taxable REIT subsidiaries and deferred tax benefit from the casualty-related charges recognized in the third quarter of 2017. Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were primarily the result of the aforementioned impact during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and a tax benefit from the initial sale of a 40% interest in RIDEA II in January 2017.

#### Equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures

The decrease in equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily the result of: (i) the sale of our equity method investment in RIDEA II in June 2018, and (ii) lease expirations on an unconsolidated life science property during the first half of 2018. The decrease was partially offset by additional equity income from our investment in the U.K. JV.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

We anticipate that our cash flow from operations, available cash balances and cash from our various financing activities will be adequate for at least the next 12 months for purposes of: (i) funding recurring operating expenses; (ii) meeting debt service requirements, including our planned redemption of our $450 million 3.75% senior unsecured notes in November 2018; and (iii) satisfying our distributions to our stockholders and non-controlling interest members.

Our principal investing needs for the next 12 months are to:

- fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs; and
- fund future acquisition, transactional and development activities.

We anticipate satisfying these future investing needs using one or more of the following:

- sale or exchange of ownership interests in properties;
- draws on our credit facilities;
- issuance of additional debt, including unsecured notes and mortgage debt; and/or
- issuance of common or preferred stock.

Access to capital markets impacts our cost of capital and ability to refinance maturing indebtedness, as well as our ability to fund future acquisitions and development through the issuance of additional securities or secured debt. Credit ratings impact our ability to access capital and directly impact our cost of capital as well. For example, our revolving line of credit facility accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin that depends upon our credit ratings. We also pay a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends upon our credit ratings. At October 29, 2018, we had senior unsecured credit ratings of BBB from Fitch, Baa2 from Moody’s and BBB from S&P Global.

### Cash Flow Summary

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.

The following table sets forth changes in cash flows (in thousands):

|  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 | 2017 | Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $632,918 | $637,896 | $(4,978) |
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | 817,534 | 1,740,698 | (923,164) |
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | (1,424,159) | (2,354,963) | 930,804 |

#### Operating Cash Flows

The decrease in operating cash flow is primarily the result of a reduction in income related to: (i) dispositions during 2017 and 2018, (ii) the partial sale and deconsolidation of RIDEA II during the first quarter of 2017, (iii) occupancy declines and higher labor costs within our SHOP segment, and (iv) decreased distributions of earnings from our unconsolidated joint ventures. The decrease in operating cash flow is partially offset by: (i) 2017 and 2018 acquisitions, (ii) annual rent increases, (iii) developments and redevelopments placed in service during 2017 and the first three quarters of 2018, and (iv) decreased interest paid as a result of debt repayments during 2017 and 2018. Our cash flow from operations is dependent upon the occupancy levels of our buildings, rental rates on leases, our tenants’ performance on their lease obligations, the level of operating expenses and other factors.

#### Investing Cash Flows

The following are significant investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

- received net proceeds of $1.6 billion primarily from sales of: (i) RIDEA II, (ii) other real estate assets, and (iii) the Tandem Mezzanine Loan, and the U.K. JV transaction; and
- made investments of $765 million primarily related to the acquisition, development, and redevelopment of real estate.

The following are significant investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

- received net proceeds of $1.7 billion from sales of real estate, including the partial sale and recapitalization of RIDEA II;
- received net proceeds of $555 million primarily from the sale of our Four Seasons investments, the repayment of our HC-One Facility, and a DFL repayment; and
- made investments of $527 million primarily related to the development of real estate.

#### Financing Cash Flows

The following are significant financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

- made net repayments of $1.1 billion under our bank line of credit, term loan, senior unsecured notes (including debt extinguishment costs) and mortgage debt;
- paid cash dividends on common stock of $523 million;
- paid $78 million for distributions to and purchases of noncontrolling interests (primarily related to our acquisition of Brookdale’s noncontrolling interest in RIDEA I); and
- received proceeds of $299 million for issuances of noncontrolling interests (primarily related to the MSREI MOB JV).

The following are significant financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

- made net repayments of $1.8 billion under our bank line of credit, term loans, senior unsecured notes (including debt extinguishment costs) and mortgage debt; and
- paid dividends on common stock of $521 million.

### Debt

See Note 9 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our outstanding debt.

See “2018 Transaction Overview” for further information regarding our significant financing activities through October 31, 2018.

### Equity

At September 30, 2018, we had 470 million shares of common stock outstanding, equity totaled $5.6 billion, and our equity securities had a market value of $12.5 billion.

At September 30, 2018, non-managing members held an aggregate of 4 million units in five limited liability companies (“DownREITs”) for which we are the managing member. The DownREIT units are exchangeable for an amount of cash approximating the then-current market value of shares of our common stock or, at our option, shares of our common stock (subject to certain adjustments, such as stock splits and reclassifications). At September 30, 2018, the DownREIT units were convertible into 7 million shares of our common stock.

#### At-The-Market Program

We renewed our at-the-market equity program in May 2018, pursuant to which we may sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $750 million through a consortium of banks acting as sales agents or directly to the banks acting as principals. There was no activity under our at-the-market program during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and, at September 30, 2018, $750 million of our common stock remained available for sale under the at-the-market program. Actual future sales will depend upon a variety of factors, including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell any shares under our at-the-market program.

#### Shelf Registration

We filed a prospectus with the SEC as part of a registration statement on Form S-3ASR, using a shelf registration process. Our current shelf registration statement expires in May 2021, at which time we expect to file a new shelf registration statement. Under the “shelf” process, we may sell any combination of the securities described in the prospectus through one or more offerings. The securities described in the prospectus include common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities and warrants.

### Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our commitments related to development and redevelopment projects increased by $160 million, to $293 million at September 30, 2018 when compared to December 31, 2017. Our ground and other operating lease obligations increased by $105 million (when compared to December 31, 2017), to $501 million at September 30, 2018, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Greenville Portfolio by the MSREI JV (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Additionally, we repaid $700 million of our senior notes due 2021 in July 2018, reducing our contractual obligation to $5.8 billion at September 30, 2018. There have been no other material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, to these contractual obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

We own interests in certain unconsolidated JVs as described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Except in limited circumstances, our risk of loss is limited to our investment in the JV and any outstanding loans receivable. In addition, we have certain properties which serve as collateral for debt that is owed by a previous owner of certain of our facilities. Our risk of loss for these certain properties is limited to the outstanding debt balance plus penalties, if any. We have no other material off-balance sheet arrangements that we expect would materially affect our liquidity and capital resources except for commitments and operating leases included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 in “Contractual Obligations” under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

### Critical Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during 2018 other than those resulting from new accounting standards (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

## Market risk

As filed, 4,412 characters.

We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, specifically the British pound sterling (“GBP”). We use derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value (see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

To illustrate the effect of movements in the interest rate markets, we performed a market sensitivity analysis on our hedging instruments. We applied various basis point spreads to the underlying interest rate curves of the derivative portfolio in order to determine the change in fair value. Assuming a one percentage point change in the underlying interest rate curve, the estimated change in fair value of each of the underlying derivative instruments would not exceed $1 million.

*Interest Rate Risk.* At September 30, 2018, our exposure to interest rate risk is primarily on our variable rate debt. At September 30, 2018, $43 million of our variable-rate debt was hedged by interest rate swap transactions. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, with the objective of managing the exposure to interest rate risk by converting the interest rates on our variable-rate debt to fixed interest rates.

Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt and assets 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. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. A one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates would change the fair value of our fixed rate debt by approximately $264 million and $284 million, respectively, and would not materially impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, changes in interest rates on variable rate debt and investments would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not materially impact the fair value of those instruments. Assuming a one percentage point increase in the interest rate related to the variable-rate debt and variable-rate investments, and assuming no other changes in the outstanding balance at September 30, 2018, our annual interest expense and interest income would increase by approximately $9 million and $1 million, respectively.

*Foreign Currency Risk.* At September 30, 2018, our exposure to foreign currencies primarily relates to U.K. investments in leased real estate, loans receivables and related GBP denominated cash flows. Our foreign currency exposure is partially mitigated through the use of GBP-denominated borrowings. Based solely on our operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2018, including the impact of existing hedging arrangements, if the value of the GBP relative to the U.S. dollar were to increase or decrease by 10% compared to the average exchange rate during the three months ended September 30, 2018, our cash flows would have decreased or increased, as applicable, by less than $1 million.

*Market Risk.* We have investments in marketable debt securities classified as held-to-maturity because we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization of premiums and discounts through maturity. We consider a variety of factors in evaluating an other-than-temporary decline in value, such as: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than our current adjusted carrying value; the issuer’s financial condition, capital strength and near-term prospects; any recent events specific to that issuer and economic conditions of its industry; and our investment horizon in relationship to an anticipated near-term recovery in the market value, if any. At September 30, 2018, both the fair value and carrying value of marketable debt securities was $19 million.

## Controls and procedures

As filed, 2,020 characters.

*Disclosure Controls and Procedures.* We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2018.

*Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.* There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
