    ________________________________________

    (1)              Other impairments reflect the previously announced $70 million related to our Four Seasons
                     Health Care senior notes ("Four Seasons Notes") in September 2015, and $27 million
                     related to our 9% equity investment in HCR ManorCare, Inc. ("HCRMC") for the quarter
                     ended September 30, 2015. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the
                     quarter ended September 30, 2015 included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


    (2)              2014 transaction-related items primarily relate to the Brookdale Transaction that closed
                     in August 2014. See the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations" section of the
                     Management Discussion and Analysis for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 included in
                     our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

FFO, FFO as adjusted and FAD are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful in evaluating the operating performance of real estate investment trusts. See the "Funds From Operations" and "Funds Available for Distribution" sections of this release for additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

During the third quarter, we expanded our senior housing joint venture partnerships with Brookdale Senior Living and MBK Senior Living with $26 million of new investments, bringing our year-to-date total investments to $1.9 billion.

As previously disclosed, in July 2015, we converted a $42 million (£27 million) loan to Maria Mallaband Care Group ("MMCG") into fee ownership of two care homes in the United Kingdom at an equal value. The properties are triple-net leased to MMCG for an initial term of 15 years.

CAPITAL RECYCLING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

During the third quarter and through November 2, 2015, we raised $438 million from our capital recycling and financing activities. The majority of the proceeds were used to pay down our revolving line of credit, which was drawn to fund our 2015 investments. Our financial leverage improved 170 basis points, from 45.4% at the end of the second quarter, to 43.7% primarily as a result of the capital recycling and financing transactions completed through November 2, 2015, as follows:

Capital Recycling

We generated $365 million through 1) asset sales, 2) a new joint venture as part of our Investment Management platform and 3) loan repayments, as follows:



    1)                                                                                                                                                                               $180 million from asset sales:

                                          
    $130 million in proceeds from 12 of the 50 non-strategic HCR ManorCare ("HCRMC") facilities (described below). 
    $50 million in proceeds from land and other asset sales.


    2)                                                                                                               $110 million from a medical office joint venture adding to our Investment Management platform:

       In June 2015, we acquired a 1.2 million sq.
         ft. portfolio of 11 on-campus medical
         office buildings from Memorial Hermann in a
         sale lease-back transaction for $225
         million. In October, we sold a 49% non-
         controlling interest for $110 million to
         Prime Property Fund, an investment fund
         advised by Morgan Stanley Real Estate
         Advisors. HCP retained a 51% controlling
         interest and will act as the managing
         member of the joint venture.

    3)                                                                                                                                                                            $75 million from loan repayments:

       
    $52 million (BPS34 million) from HC-One upon the sale of previously identified non-strategic assets in their operating portfolio.  
    $23 million in October as repayment for a loan in our hospital segment.

Financing

During the third quarter and through November 2, 2015, we issued 1.8 million shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $40.14 per share for net proceeds of $73 million under our at-the-market equity offering program ("ATM Program").

HCR MANORCARE UPDATES

HCRMC's normalized fixed charge coverage ratio for the trailing 12 months ended September 30, 2015 was 1.11x, before any benefit from the non-strategic facility sales described below. On a pro forma basis reflecting the annualized effect from the April 2015 lease amendment and completion of the facility sales, HCRMC's trailing 12-month normalized fixed charge coverage ratio ended September 30, 2015 would increase to approximately 1.25x. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, HCRMC's normalized EBITDAR decreased 1.7% or $7 million year-over-year, and normalized EBITDAR margins of 14% remained essentially in-line with the comparable prior year period. HCRMC had cash and cash equivalents of $151 million at September 30, 2015.

During the third quarter, we recorded an impairment charge of $27 million, or $0.06 per share, related to our 9% equity ownership interest in HCRMC, reducing the carrying amount of our equity investment from $48 million to $21 million. The impairment primarily resulted from our review of recent HCRMC operating results and market and industry data, which, among other factors, show a declining trend in admissions from hospitals and continuing trends in mix and length of stay driven by Medicare Advantage and other managed care plans.

Through November 2, 2015, we completed sales of 12 of the 50 non-strategic HCRMC facilities, generating proceeds of $130 million. The remaining 38 facilities are under contract and expected to close over the next six months. Total proceeds from all 50 facilities are expected to exceed $350 million, above the high end of our initial guidance of between $250 and $350 million. As previously announced, HCRMC will receive an annual rent reduction equal to 7.75% of the proceeds received by HCP.

In addition, as part of our lease amendment transaction with HCRMC, through November 2, 2015, we obtained fee ownership in four of the nine recently built post-acute facilities valued at $99 million, with an average occupancy of 85%. Transfer of the remaining five facilities is expected to be completed over the next six months.

LIFE SCIENCE AND MEDICAL OFFICE LEASING

During the third quarter, we completed 667,000 sq. ft. of leasing in our life science and medical office portfolios, consisting of 211,000 sq. ft. of new leases and 456,000 sq. ft. of renewals.

We pre-leased 38,000 sq. ft. in the first phase of The Cove, the newest generation of life science development. The first phase consists of two buildings totaling 253,000 sq. ft. and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2016. Visit our website for more information, including a link to see the development progress at www.hcpi.com/portfolio/life-science.

At September 30, 2015, our life science occupancy reached 98.1%, representing the 5th consecutive quarterly all-time high for this segment, and our medical office occupancy was 91.5%, representing the 8th consecutive quarter with occupancy above 90%.

EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT ADDITION

On September 8, 2015, we welcomed Justin Hutchens as Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer - Senior Housing and Care. Mr. Hutchens joined HCP from National Health Investors, Inc. (NYSE: NHI) where he was employed since 2009 and most recently served as President and Chief Executive Officer since 2011. He brings over 20 years of experience in REIT investments and senior care operations.

SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP

In September 2015, HCP was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for the third consecutive year, and achieved constituency for the first time in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. More information about HCP's sustainability efforts can be found on our website at www.hcpi.com/sustainability.

DIVIDEND ARISTOCRAT

On October 29, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.565 per common share, representing a 3.7% increase over the prior year. The dividend will be paid on November 24, 2015 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 2015. HCP has increased its dividend for 30 consecutive years and is the only REIT included in the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index.

UPDATED FULL YEAR 2015 OUTLOOK

For full year 2015, we expect: FFO per share to range between $1.74 and $1.80; FFO as adjusted per share to range between $3.12 and $3.18; FAD per share to range between $2.66 and $2.72; and EPS to range between $0.52 and $0.58. In addition, we continue to expect 2015 Same Property Portfolio Cash Net Operating Income ("SPP Cash NOI") to increase between 0.0% and 1.0%. Excluding HCRMC, we expect 2015 SPP Cash NOI to increase between 3.25% and 4.25%. These estimates do not reflect the potential impact from unannounced future acquisitions and dispositions. Refer to the "Projected Future Operations" and "Projected SPP Cash NOI" sections of this release for additional information regarding these estimates.

    _______________________________________

    (1)              We believe Funds From Operations ("FFO") is an important supplemental measure 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 developed 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 U.S. generally accepted
                     accounting principles or "GAAP"), excluding gains or losses from sales of property,
                     impairments of, or related to, depreciable real estate, plus real estate and direct
                     financing lease ("DFL") depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for joint
                     ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same
                     basis. 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. FFO as adjusted represents FFO before the impact of severance-related charges,
                     impairments (recoveries) of non-depreciable assets, foreign currency remeasurement
                     losses (gains) and transaction-related items (defined below). Transaction-related
                     items include acquisition and pursuit costs (e.g., due diligence and closing) and
                     gains/charges incurred as a result of mergers and acquisitions and lease amendment or
                     termination activities. Management believes that FFO as adjusted provides a meaningful
                     supplemental measurement of our FFO run-rate. This measure is a modification of the
                     NAREIT definition of FFO and should not be used as an alternative to net income (loss)
                     (determined in accordance with GAAP) or NAREIT FFO.


    (2)              For the three months ended September 30, 2015, other depreciation and amortization
                     include: (i) $3 million of DFL depreciation and (ii) $2 million of lease incentive
                     amortization (reduction of straight-line rents) for the consideration given to
                     terminate the 30 purchase options of the 153-property amended lease portfolio in the
                     2014 Brookdale Transaction. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, other
                     depreciation and amortization include: (i) $10 million of DFL depreciation and (ii) $7
                     million of lease incentive amortization (reduction of straight-line rents) related to
                     the 2014 Brookdale Transaction.


    (3)              For the three months ended September 30, 2015, other impairments include: (i) $70
                     million related to our Four Seasons Notes and (ii) $27 million related to our equity
                     investment in HCRMC. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, other impairments
                     include: (i) $478 million related to our DFL investments with HCRMC, (ii) $112 million
                     related to our Four Seasons Notes and (iii) $27 million related to our equity
                     investment in HCRMC. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the
                     quarter ended September 30, 2015 included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


    (4)              2014 transaction-related items primarily relate to the Brookdale Transaction that
                     closed in August 2014. See the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations" section
                     of the Management Discussion and Analysis for the quarter ended September 30, 2015
                     included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


    (5)              The severance-related charge relates to the resignation of our former Executive Vice
                     President and Chief Investment Officer.

    ________________________________________

    (1)              Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD") is defined as FFO as adjusted after excluding the
                     impact of the following: (i) amortization of acquired market lease intangibles, net; (ii)
                     amortization of deferred compensation expense; (iii) amortization of deferred financing
                     costs, net; (iv) straight-line rents; (v) accretion and depreciation 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 is: (i) computed after deducting recurring
                     capital expenditures, including 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. 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. FAD does not represent cash generated
                     from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily
                     indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an
                     alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP.


    (2)              For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, excludes $3 million related to the
                     acceleration of deferred compensation for restricted stock units and stock options that
                     vested upon the resignation of our former Executive Vice President and Chief Investment
                     Officer, which is included in the severance-related charge for the nine months ended
                     September 30, 2015.


    (3)              For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, DFL accretion reflects an
                     elimination of $14 million and $16 million, respectively. For the nine months ended
                     September 30, 2015 and 2014, DFL accretion reflects an elimination of $44 million and $47
                     million, respectively. Our equity investment in HCRMC is accounted for using the equity
                     method, which requires an ongoing elimination of DFL income that is proportional to our
                     ownership in HCRMC. Further, our share of earnings from HCRMC (equity income) increases
                     for the corresponding elimination of related lease expense recognized at the HCRMC entity
                     level, which we present as a non-cash joint venture FAD adjustment.


    (4)              Over a period of three years from the closing of the 2014 Brookdale Transaction, we will
                     receive installment payments valued at $55 million for terminating the leases on the HCP
                     owned 49-property portfolio; we include these installment payments in FAD as the payments
                     are collected.


    (5)              Represents our 49% share of non-refundable entrance fees included in FAD as the fees are
                     collected by our CCRC JV.

    ________________________________________

    (1)              We believe Net Operating Income from Continuing Operations ("NOI") provides investors
                     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.
                     We use NOI and cash NOI to make decisions about resource allocations, to assess and
                     compare property level performance, and evaluate our same property portfolio ("SPP"). 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.


                    NOI is defined as rental and related revenues, including tenant recoveries, resident fees
                     and services, and income from DFLs, less property level operating expenses; NOI excludes
                     all of the other financial statement amounts itemized above. Cash NOI is calculated as
                     NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-line rents, DFL accretion, amortization of
                     market lease intangibles and lease termination fees. Cash NOI is oftentimes referred to
                     as "adjusted NOI."


    (2)              SPP statistics allow management to evaluate the performance of our real estate portfolio
                     under a consistent population by eliminating changes in the composition of our portfolio
                     of properties. We identify our SPP as stabilized properties that remained in operations
                     and were consistently reported as leased properties or operating properties (RIDEA) for
                     the duration of the year-over-year comparison periods presented, excluding assets held
                     for sale. Accordingly, it takes a stabilized property a minimum of 12 months in
                     operations under a consistent reporting structure to be included in our SPP. Newly
                     acquired operating assets are generally considered stabilized at the earlier of lease up
                     (typically when the tenant(s) controls 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. SPP NOI excludes certain non-property specific operating expenses
                     that are allocated to each operating segment on a consolidated basis. SPP cash NOI
                     excludes the effects of foreign exchange rate movements by using the average current
                     period exchange rate to translate from British pound sterling into U.S. dollars for the
                     comparison periods. A property is removed from our SPP when it is sold, placed into
                     redevelopment or changes its reporting structure.

    (1)              Represents Total Debt divided by Total Gross Assets. Financial Leverage is a supplemental
                     measure of our financial position, which enables both management and investors to analyze
                     our leverage and to compare our leverage to that of other companies. The ratio of
                     Consolidated Debt to Consolidated Gross Assets is the most directly comparable GAAP
                     measure to Financial Leverage. Our pro rata share of total debt from our unconsolidated
                     joint ventures is not intended to reflect our actual liability or ability to access
                     assets should there be a default under any or all such loans or a liquidation of the
                     joint ventures. We have provided reconciliations of the June 30, 2015 measure to the most
                     comparable GAAP measure in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 4, 2015.


    (2)              Represents Total Debt as of September 30, 2015, pro forma for significant transactions
                     that closed after September 30, 2015 and projected cash flows from operations subsequent
                     to September 30, 2015. Pro forma adjustments include the reduction of debt from the
                     proceeds of the following: (i) $99 million from a portion of 12 HCRMC non-strategic
                     facility sales, (ii) $110 million from the sale of a noncontrolling interest in a medical
                     office joint venture, (iii) $23 million from the sale of stock under our ATM Program,
                     (iv) $23 million from the payoff of a loan in our hospital segment and (v) $150 million
                     from cash generated from operations.


    (3)              Represents Consolidated Debt plus our pro rata share of total debt from our unconsolidated
                     joint ventures.


    (4)              Represents Total Gross Assets as of September 30, 2015, pro forma for significant
                     transactions that closed after September 30, 2015. Pro forma adjustments include the
                     following: (i) $99 million from a portion of 12 HCRMC non-strategic facility sales and
                     (ii) $17 million from the payoff of a loan in our hospital segment.


    (5)              Represents Consolidated Gross Assets plus our pro rata share of total assets from our
                     unconsolidated joint ventures and equity interest in HCRMC, after adding back accumulated
                     depreciation and amortization.

     consolidated SPP Cash NOI growth, excluding HCRMC are included in this release because
     we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the
     comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts, and we believe such
     reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or
     misleading to investors.
