Additionally, the company sold various properties for $168.8 million, realizing a gain of $14.4 million.

As of the end of Q3 2025, Ventas maintained a solid liquidity position with $4.1 billion, which included approximately $3.5 billion available under an unsecured revolving credit facility. The company made significant adjustments to its credit facilities, increasing its borrowing capacity from $2.75 billion to $3.5 billion and expanding its commercial paper program.
3. Operating Results by Segment
SHOP Segment
The SHOP segment reported increased net operating income (NOI), driven by higher occupancy rates and increased revenue per occupied room, despite rising property-level operating expenses. This growth reflects Ventas's successful strategy to enhance its senior housing offerings.
OM&R Segment
The OM&R segment also experienced an uptick in NOI, bolstered by new leasing activities and high tenant retention rates. However, the segment faced challenges from increased operating expenses and property dispositions.
NNN Segment
The NNN segment reported an increase in NOI primarily due to a rise in rental income from recent acquisitions. However, this was partially offset by decreased rental income from properties sold or converted to the SHOP segment.
