Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders of $1.01 Per Share

Normalized FFO Attributable to Common Shareholders of $(0.09) Per Share

Diversified Healthcare Trust (Nasdaq: DHC) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Jennifer Francis, President and Chief Executive Officer of DHC, made the following statement:

“During the first quarter, we reported strong sequential quarter NOI growth in our same property SHOP segment, largely driven by increases in rate. In addition, leasing results in our Office Portfolio have remained resilient and are helping to support the overall recovery of our business as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic wane. Additionally, we generated $653 million of cash in the first quarter through a new joint venture with 10 Office Portfolio properties, bringing our total cash position to approximately $1.5 billion at quarter end. This, combined with the amendment and extension of our credit facility, enhances our capacity to continue to fund investment activities, which we believe best positions DHC to execute on our business plan. With ample liquidity, improving operating performance and solid leasing results, we are confident in DHC’s growth trajectory moving forward.”

Quarterly Results:

• Reported net income attributable to common shareholders of $240.4 million, or $1.01 per share.
• Reported normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, attributable to common shareholders of $(21.9) million, or $(0.09) per share.
• Recorded a gain on sale of properties of $327.5 million, or $1.38 per share, from DHC's new joint venture with two unrelated third party institutional investors for 10 of its Office Portfolio segment properties.

Reconciliations of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, to funds from operations, or FFO, attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 appear later in this press release. Reconciliations of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP to net operating income, or NOI, and Cash Basis NOI, and a reconciliation of NOI to same property NOI and a calculation of same property Cash Basis NOI, for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, as applicable, also appear later in this press release.

Office Portfolio Segment:

• Same property Cash Basis NOI decreased compared to the first quarter of 2021 primarily resulting from decreases in occupancy, partially offset by increases in parking income.
• DHC entered into new and renewal leases for an aggregate of 201,072 rentable square feet at weighted average rents that were 8.2% higher than prior rents for the same space.

SHOP Segment:

• Same property Cash Basis NOI decreased compared to the first quarter of 2021, primarily resulting from increases in operating expenses on a per resident basis due to increased labor costs, partially offset by increases in occupancy.
• Recent same property occupancy rates in DHC's senior housing operating portfolio, or SHOP, segment consisting of 120 communities are as follows:

• During the year ended December 31, 2021, DHC completed the transition of 107 senior living communities from Five Star Senior Living, Inc. to 10 new third party managers. Recent occupancy rates for these transitioned communities in DHC's SHOP segment are as follows:

Joint Venture Activities:

• In January 2022, DHC entered into a joint venture with two unrelated third party institutional investors for 10 Office Portfolio segment properties and received cash proceeds of $653.3 million. The purchase price was based upon a property valuation of approximately $702.5 million, less approximately $456.6 million of secured debt on the properties incurred by the joint venture. The investors acquired a combined 80% equity interest in the joint venture and DHC retained a 20% equity interest in the joint venture. Effective upon the closing of the sale, these 10 properties are no longer consolidated into DHC's financial results and DHC's 20% equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for as an unconsolidated joint venture interest.

Liquidity and Financing Activities:

• As of March 31, 2022, DHC had approximately $1.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.
• As of March 31, 2022, DHC's ratio of consolidated income available for debt service to debt service was below the 1.5x incurrence requirement under DHC's revolving credit facility and its public debt covenants, as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to adversely impact DHC's senior living operations. DHC is unable to incur additional debt until this ratio is at or above 1.5x on a pro forma basis.
• In February 2022, DHC and its lenders amended the agreement governing its revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the waiver of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant through December 31, 2022 and reduce the facility commitments to $700.0 million, and DHC also exercised its option to extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to January 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

DHC presents certain "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including FFO attributable to common shareholders, Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, as well as certain of these measures for the other three quarters of 2021. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as indicators of DHC's operating performance or as measures of DHC's liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as presented in DHC's condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). DHC considers these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. DHC believes these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization, they may facilitate a comparison of DHC's operating performance between periods and with other REITs and, in the case of NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI, reflecting only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level may help both investors and management to understand the operations of DHC's properties.

Please see the pages attached hereto for a more detailed statement of DHC's operating results and financial condition, and for an explanation of DHC's calculation of FFO attributable to common shareholders, Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI and a reconciliation of those amounts to amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.

Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Whenever DHC uses words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, "will", “may” and negatives or derivatives of these or similar expressions, DHC is making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon DHC's present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward-looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by DHC's forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond DHC's control. For example,

• Ms. Francis's statements regarding DHC's strong sequential quarter NOI growth in its same property SHOP segment largely driven by increases in rate may imply that DHC's senior living communities will realize further NOI growth in future sequential quarters from its same property SHOP segment. DHC's SHOP business is subject to various risks, many of which are beyond its control, including the COVID-19 pandemic and other economic and market conditions, such as the current inflationary conditions. As a result, DHC may not realize any such growth in future periods,
• Ms. Francis states that leasing results in DHC's Office Portfolio have remained resilient and are helping to support the overall recovery of DHC's business as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic wane. This may imply that leasing results in DHC's Office Portfolio segment will continue to be positive and that such positive leasing results may improve the financial performance of DHC's portfolio. However, DHC may not continue to realize positive leasing results, and even if it does, these results may not significantly increase the financial performance of DHC's portfolio,
• Ms. Francis states that DHC believes that the enhancement of DHC's capacity to continue to fund investment activities as a result of the recent amendment and extension of its credit facility best positions DHC to execute on its business plan. This may imply that this enhancement will provide sufficient capacity for DHC to execute its business plan, that DHC will successfully execute its business plan and that it will benefit as a result. However, this enhancement may not be sufficient, DHC may not succeed in executing its business plan and any such success it may have doing so may not realize the benefits it expects,
• Ms. Francis's statements regarding DHC's growth trajectory and DHC's ample liquidity, improving operating performance and solid leasing results may imply that DHC will be able to sustain sufficient liquidity and its portfolio will recover from current levels. However, if economic conditions worsen and the resulting impacts on DHC and its managers and tenants significantly worsen for a sustained period, or if they otherwise fail to profitably operate their businesses, DHC may be required to utilize all or a significant portion of its cash and cash equivalents to fund its business and operations. In addition, if DHC is unable to refinance or replace its debt as it matures, its liquidity may decline. Further, DHC has not historically maintained similar high amounts of cash and instead has utilized cash sources to fund and grow its business, which it may do again in the future, as, if and when it is permitted to do so under its debt agreements, and
• DHC has obtained a waiver from compliance with certain financial covenants under its credit agreement through December 31, 2022, and extended the maturity date of its credit facility to January 2024. However, if DHC's operating results and financial condition are further adversely impacted by current economic conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic, or fail to sufficiently improve, it may fail to comply with the terms of the waiver and other requirements under its credit agreement, and DHC may also fail to satisfy certain financial requirements under the agreements governing its public debt. For example, DHC's ratio of consolidated income available for debt service to debt service was below the 1.5x incurrence requirement under its revolving credit facility and its public debt covenants as of March 31, 2022, and DHC cannot be certain how long this ratio will remain below 1.5x. DHC is unable to incur additional debt until this ratio is at or above 1.5x on a pro forma basis, but is not required to repay outstanding debt as a result of failure to comply with this requirement. DHC is currently fully drawn under its revolving credit facility and could also be required to repay its outstanding debt as a result of non-compliance with certain other requirements of its credit agreement or the agreements governing its public debt. DHC may therefore experience future liquidity constraints, as it is currently unable to incur additional debt under its credit agreement or otherwise for failure to comply with the requirements of its credit agreement or the agreements governing its public debt, and DHC will be limited to its cash on hand or be forced to raise additional sources of capital or take other measures to repay its debt or maintain adequate liquidity. Further, the extended maturity date of DHC's credit facility may not enhance its capacity to fund investment activities and DHC may not be best positioned to execute on its business plan as a result.

The information contained in DHC's filings with the SEC, including under “Risk Factors” in DHC's periodic reports, or incorporated therein, identifies important factors that could cause DHC's actual results to differ materially from those stated in or implied by DHC's forward-looking statements. DHC's filings with the SEC are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. You should not place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, DHC does not intend to update or change any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
