Strong Q1 FFO and Raised 2026 Guidance
Reported FFO as adjusted of $0.45 per share for Q1 and raised full-year 2026 FFO guidance to a range of $1.71 to $1.75 per share (midpoint ~$1.73), supported by a $100M share repurchase in April (at an implied FFO yield >10%) and senior housing performance.
Janus Living IPO: Value Creation and Outperformance
Completed the Janus Living IPO in March; Janus delivered 35% total revenue growth and 42% adjusted EBITDA growth in Q1. Healthpeak retains ~81.6% ownership (market value ~ $5.7B). Management expects the IPO to be earnings neutral in 2026 and accretive thereafter, with roughly $0.04 per-share run-rate accretion once IPO proceeds are fully invested and stabilized.
Outpatient Medical Fundamentals Remain Robust
Since the Physicians merger >10 million sq ft of renewals signed with average cash re-leasing spreads of ~5.8% (5.4% in the quarter). Q1 outpatient metrics: 1.1 million sq ft executed, 79% tenant retention, 91% total occupancy, ~3% average escalators, and modest leasing costs at ~10% of annual rents. In-house renewals saved approximately $5 million in leasing commissions in Q1.
Blackstone JV and Outpatient Recap Template
Closed a joint-venture recap with Blackstone on a fully occupied outpatient portfolio at a 6.1% cash cap rate, raising $170 million in proceeds. Management noted a pipeline of additional transactions that could generate $700M+ of proceeds at cap rates approximately 200 basis points tighter than what is implied by Healthpeak's stock price.
Life Science Leasing Momentum and Occupancy Improvement
Life science total occupancy increased to 77.7% (from ~77%); executed 141,000 sq ft of leases in Q1 (92% new leasing). Approximately 355,000 sq ft under LOI (≈80% new leasing; ≈75% on currently vacant space), including 4 deals >50,000 sq ft. Company expects total life science occupancy to increase at least 100 basis points versus year-end 2025.
Gateway (South San Francisco) Acquisition and Early Leasing Wins
Completed opportunistic Gateway acquisition at attractive pricing in early January. Already signed/LOI activity includes 62,000 sq ft of signed leases/LOIs, plus 113,000 sq ft of active proposals/tours. Management said leasing and rents at-or-above underwriting and positioned for 2027+ earnings upside.
Senior Housing Operating Performance and Capital Deployment
Senior housing entry fees set an all-time Q1 high. Healthpeak invested ~$714M of senior housing acquisitions on-balance-sheet pre-IPO, and expects the senior housing portfolio to generate strong returns and offset IPO impacts; $240M of current-year FFO from that portfolio was cited as being valued at a materially higher multiple in the IPO market.
Balance Sheet & Liquidity Actions
Reported net debt-to-EBITDA of 5.4x. Actions in Q1 included repayment of $103M of secured mortgages, closing a $400M undrawn senior unsecured delayed-draw term loan, and executing a $100M share buyback. Management has been actively recycling capital with ~$1B of targeted recaps/sales and ~$1B of acquisitions (with ~$1B of acquisitions effectively completed).
Development/Entitlement Progress
Progress on mixed-use Alewife project: preliminary planning board initial approval received; entitlements targeted by Q4 2026 with potential residential groundbreaking in ~2027 (Hines as multifamily partner).
