Hutchens cited US at 18% in 2025 as a proxy. Described 2025 actions: 12 new operators, 88 redevs, 26 transitions, 74 triple-net to SHOP conversions. OI platform execution and operator collaboration continuing to improve.

Probst explained 8% vs 10% gap: $0.04 Brookdale noncash amortization expiration + $2.2B debt refinancing at higher rates. G&A also growing with enterprise. These offsets explain the difference.

Hutchens said Canada has pricing limitations and Sunrise mix volatility. View Canada as high single-digit grower. US opportunity is better with less pricing limitations and stronger supply-demand.

Hutchens said no structural limitations, track record, platform, cost of capital, and momentum all working together for accelerating investment pace.

Hutchens confirmed 50% incremental margin from 80-90% occupancy, 70% from 90-100%. RevPOR growth 2x higher above 90% vs below (6-7% vs 3-5%).

Hutchens said REITs own ~15% of market, another 40-50% meets Ventas criteria. About $30B/year trades in senior housing, providing ample opportunity.

Hutchens attributed step-up to newer vintage (~7yr avg), better markets (1,500bps uncapped net demand), quality operators. Cap rates compressing from 7% to 7.2% but still in 7-8% range.

Hutchens said development is nowhere close to feasible, rents need 20-50% higher, no debt financing, barriers across land, material, and labor costs.

Hutchens confirmed pipeline is larger than prior year, cited competitive advantages in data analytics, operator relationships, and platform scale.

Pong identified the 40-50bp credit loss provision as the primary source of conservatism, noting the unidentified portion (majority) has low risk of being utilized.

Pong cited G&A, leasing commissions, unreimbursed property expenses, and record vacant dispositions as Q4 offsets to lease termination gains.

Roy confirmed watch list flat at 4.6% with granular 2bp median exposure, bad debt tracking to 75bp full-year guide with no changes.

Brinker said the sector-recovery building blocks are in place and Healthpeak expects to be a consolidator over the next 24 months, citing Gateway leasing progress.

Brinker cited Pfizer and AstraZeneca agreements as changing sentiment. Regulatory chaos of first 6-8 months subsiding with fewer negative headlines.

Brinker deferred full guidance to February. Flagged purchase options, seller financing, and refinancing as additional building blocks. No new surprises.

Brinker emphasized stock buybacks at ~10% FFO yield were driven by attractive valuation, not inability to deploy elsewhere.

Brinker said rates haven't changed materially but lease-up timelines are extended. Bohn clarified it's more NIH/FDA uncertainty than tariffs.

Pete Scott noted pricing power already emerging in their portfolio at mid-high 80% occupancy, aided by existing tenant relationships and campus scale.

Brinker noted no direct NIH exposure. Administration's focus on innovation and deregulation viewed positively. CMS/FDA leadership appointments more important than RFK.
