Second Quarter Highlights - Issued $47 Million of Equity and Retired $30 Million of Senior Notes - Hearthstone Lease Restructure Completed - Payout Ratio of 77% Supports $0.44 per Share Cash Dividend - Balance Sheet and Liquidity Position Strong NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. (NYSE:NHP) today announced results of operations for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009. Contemporaneously with this press release, the Company filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. "NHP's strong balance sheet is anchored by low leverage, ample liquidity and modest capital commitments through June 2011. Always looking to improve our balance sheet in this economic environment, to date we raised $105 million of equity and retired $30 million of our senior notes. On an enterprise value basis, our leverage is 35% and after our recent equity issuances we have about $199 million of cash as well as the full capacity of our $700 million credit facility," commented Douglas M. Pasquale, NHP's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "NHP is well positioned to take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise. We expect assets will begin to become available at attractive prices and we are prepared to make excellent investments as these opportunities present themselves," Mr. Pasquale added.

We believe diluted FFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance because it excludes the effects of depreciation and amortization and gains (losses) from sales of facilities (both of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance). We believe diluted FAD is an important supplemental measure of operating performance because, like diluted FFO, it excludes the effects of depreciation and amortization and gains (losses) from sales of facilities (both of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance). It also excludes straight-lined rent and other non-cash items that have become more significant for us and our competitors over the last several years. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to diluted FFO and diluted FAD. Reconciliations between net income and diluted FFO and net income and diluted FAD are included in the accompanying financial data. For guidance, we have also included in the accompanying financial data reconciliations between net income per share and diluted FFO and diluted FAD per share. We have also included recurring diluted FFO and recurring diluted FAD amounts which exclude the recognition of a gain on debt extinguishment in 2009. SECOND QUARTER 2009 INVESTMENT ACTIVITY During the second quarter of 2009, we invested $6.0 million in revenue producing capital expenditures at a blended yield of 8.5% on our existing triple net portfolio. In July 2009, we reached an agreement with The Broe Group to acquire all of their interests in two of our medical office building joint ventures for $4.3 million. On July 27, 2009, we amended our leases with Hearthstone Senior Services, L.P. ("Hearthstone"). Hearthstone's only operations consist of the management of the 32 facilities under these leases. The lease terms were modified to (i) convert the annual Base Rent escalator to a fixed 3%, (ii) defer payment of the Supplemental Rent through December 31, 2011, (iii) tighten restrictions on distributions until such time as Hearthstone achieves and sustains defined rent coverage levels, (iv) provide for transfer of ownership of Hearthstone to us in the event of certain major events of default and (v) put in place certain bankruptcy protections and enhanced oversight rights for us. SECOND QUARTER 2009 FINANCING TRANSACTIONS On April 1, 2009, we retired $30.0 million of senior notes with an interest rate of 6.25% due in February 2013 for $25.4 million. During the second quarter of 2009, we issued 1.8 million shares of our common stock through our controlled equity offering program at an average price of $27.14 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $47.0 million. From July 1, 2009 to August 5, 2009, we issued 2.1 million shares of our common stock through our controlled equity offering program at an average price of $27.80 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $58.4 million. 2009 GUIDANCE As a result of the common shares issued to date in 2009, we are decreasing by $0.01 per share the high end of our full-year 2009 recurring diluted FFO guidance from $2.26 per share to $2.25 per share. We are also decreasing by $0.01 per share the high end of our full-year 2009 recurring diluted FAD guidance from $2.24 per share to $2.23 per share. Our revised guidance for recurring diluted FFO of $2.22 per share to $2.25 per share includes the retirement of $30.0 million of senior notes, the second quarter and post second quarter end issuances of common shares that are discussed above and excludes any acquisitions, investments, impairments or additional capital transactions that could occur for the remainder of 2009. Current guidance reflects the recent amendment of the Hearthstone leases and does not include any Supplemental Rent previously or prospectively deferred. Beginning in 2009, certain costs associated with acquisitions which were previously capitalized are now required to be expensed. While our guidance does not assume any acquisitions for the remainder of 2009, we would incur certain costs that would be expensed for any acquisitions we may make and those costs could be material.
