Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Welltower (WELL) posted another quarter of strong top-line growth. Q2-25 total revenue jumped 40% YoY to $2.55 bn, driven by a 41% rise in resident fees/services and a 44% rise in rental income as the Care UK (closed Oct-24) and Aspire skilled-nursing assets (Feb-25) flowed into results. Net income attributable to common shareholders increased 19% to $301.9 mm; diluted EPS rose to $0.45 from $0.42. For the first six months, revenue rose 35% to $4.97 bn and EPS climbed 32% to $0.85. The quarterly dividend was lifted 10% YoY to $0.67 and represented a 74% payout of YTD EPS.

Balance sheet capacity remains solid, but spending is heavy. Total assets reached $55.8 bn (+9% YTD); cash rose to $4.41 bn after issuing $4.0 bn of common equity and $1.36 bn of notes, partly offset by $1.25 bn note redemption. Net property acquisitions/CapEx absorbed $3.65 bn, largely Seniors Housing Operating ($2.44 bn) and Triple-net ($1.12 bn). Debt stood at $15.97 bn (3.9% blended unsecured rate) with no revolver or CP outstanding. YTD operating cash flow grew 35% to $1.37 bn, covering dividends 1.6×.

Strategic activity accelerates growth. Key moves include: 1) 48-facility Aspire acquisition ($991 mm), 2) completion of Chartwell JV unwinding (gain $53 mm), 3) launch of a private seniors-housing fund ($279 mm GP stake), and 4) a C$4.6 bn agreement to buy Amica (closing late 25/early 26). Impairments of $72 mm, higher depreciation and rising interest expense temper bottom-line expansion, but underlying NOI momentum (top-5 operators now 28% of NOI) and liquidity position WELL to continue acquisitive growth.

Welltower (WELL) ha registrato un altro trimestre di forte crescita dei ricavi. Nel secondo trimestre 2025, i ricavi totali sono aumentati del 40% su base annua, raggiungendo 2,55 miliardi di dollari, grazie a un incremento del 41% delle tariffe e dei servizi per residenti e del 44% dei ricavi da affitti, dovuto all'integrazione degli asset di Care UK (chiusa a ottobre 2024) e Aspire per l'assistenza qualificata (febbraio 2025). L'utile netto attribuibile agli azionisti ordinari è cresciuto del 19%, arrivando a 301,9 milioni di dollari; l'utile per azione diluito è salito a 0,45 dollari da 0,42. Nei primi sei mesi, i ricavi sono aumentati del 35% a 4,97 miliardi di dollari e l'utile per azione è cresciuto del 32% a 0,85 dollari. Il dividendo trimestrale è stato incrementato del 10% su base annua, a 0,67 dollari, rappresentando il 74% dell'utile per azione cumulato dell'anno.

La capacità patrimoniale rimane solida, ma la spesa è elevata. Gli attivi totali hanno raggiunto 55,8 miliardi di dollari (+9% da inizio anno); la liquidità è salita a 4,41 miliardi di dollari dopo l'emissione di 4,0 miliardi di dollari di azioni ordinarie e 1,36 miliardi di dollari di obbligazioni, parzialmente compensata dal rimborso di obbligazioni per 1,25 miliardi. Le acquisizioni nette di immobili e le spese in conto capitale hanno assorbito 3,65 miliardi di dollari, prevalentemente nel settore Seniors Housing Operating (2,44 miliardi) e Triple-net (1,12 miliardi). Il debito si attestava a 15,97 miliardi di dollari con un tasso medio non garantito del 3,9%, senza linee di credito o commercial paper in essere. Il flusso di cassa operativo da inizio anno è cresciuto del 35%, raggiungendo 1,37 miliardi di dollari, coprendo i dividendi per 1,6 volte.

L’attività strategica accelera la crescita. Le mosse principali includono: 1) acquisizione di Aspire con 48 strutture (991 milioni di dollari), 2) completamento dello smantellamento della joint venture Chartwell (utile di 53 milioni), 3) lancio di un fondo privato per senior housing (quota GP di 279 milioni), e 4) accordo da 4,6 miliardi di dollari canadesi per l'acquisto di Amica (chiusura prevista fine 2025/inizi 2026). Svalutazioni per 72 milioni, maggiori ammortamenti e aumento degli oneri finanziari frenano l'espansione dell’utile netto, ma l’andamento positivo del NOI sottostante (i primi 5 operatori rappresentano ora il 28% del NOI) e la posizione di liquidità permettono a WELL di continuare una crescita basata su acquisizioni.

Welltower (WELL) presentó otro trimestre con un fuerte crecimiento en ingresos. Los ingresos totales del segundo trimestre de 2025 aumentaron un 40% interanual, alcanzando los 2.55 mil millones de dólares, impulsados por un incremento del 41% en tarifas y servicios para residentes y un aumento del 44% en ingresos por rentas, debido a la incorporación de los activos de Care UK (cerrado en octubre de 2024) y Aspire en enfermería especializada (febrero de 2025). La utilidad neta atribuible a los accionistas comunes creció un 19% hasta 301.9 millones de dólares; la utilidad diluida por acción subió a 0.45 desde 0.42. En los primeros seis meses, los ingresos aumentaron un 35% hasta 4.97 mil millones y la utilidad por acción creció un 32% hasta 0.85. El dividendo trimestral se incrementó un 10% interanual a 0.67 dólares, representando un pago del 74% de la utilidad por acción acumulada del año.

La capacidad financiera se mantiene sólida, aunque el gasto es elevado. Los activos totales alcanzaron 55.8 mil millones de dólares (+9% en lo que va del año); el efectivo subió a 4.41 mil millones tras emitir 4.0 mil millones en acciones comunes y 1.36 mil millones en bonos, parcialmente compensado por el rescate de bonos por 1.25 mil millones. Las adquisiciones netas de propiedades y gastos de capital absorbieron 3.65 mil millones, principalmente en Seniors Housing Operating (2.44 mil millones) y Triple-net (1.12 mil millones). La deuda se situó en 15.97 mil millones con una tasa combinada no garantizada del 3.9%, sin líneas de crédito revolventes ni papel comercial en circulación. El flujo de caja operativo acumulado creció un 35% hasta 1.37 mil millones, cubriendo los dividendos 1.6 veces.

La actividad estratégica acelera el crecimiento. Las principales acciones incluyen: 1) adquisición de Aspire con 48 instalaciones (991 millones), 2) finalización de la desinversión de la JV Chartwell (ganancia de 53 millones), 3) lanzamiento de un fondo privado de vivienda para adultos mayores (participación GP de 279 millones), y 4) acuerdo por 4.6 mil millones de dólares canadienses para comprar Amica (cierre a finales de 2025/principios de 2026). Las provisiones por deterioro de 72 millones, mayor depreciación y aumento de gastos por intereses moderan la expansión del resultado neto, pero el impulso subyacente del NOI (los 5 principales operadores ahora representan el 28% del NOI) y la posición de liquidez posicionan a WELL para continuar con su crecimiento por adquisiciones.

Welltower (WELL) a affiché un autre trimestre de forte croissance du chiffre d'affaires. Au deuxième trimestre 2025, le chiffre d'affaires total a bondi de 40 % en glissement annuel pour atteindre 2,55 milliards de dollars, porté par une hausse de 41 % des frais/services aux résidents et de 44 % des revenus locatifs, suite à l’intégration des actifs Care UK (clôturé en octobre 2024) et Aspire en soins qualifiés (février 2025). Le résultat net attribuable aux actionnaires ordinaires a augmenté de 19 % à 301,9 millions de dollars ; le BPA dilué est passé de 0,42 à 0,45 dollar. Sur les six premiers mois, le chiffre d’affaires a progressé de 35 % à 4,97 milliards de dollars et le BPA a grimpé de 32 % à 0,85 dollar. Le dividende trimestriel a été relevé de 10 % en glissement annuel à 0,67 dollar, représentant un taux de distribution de 74 % du BPA cumulé.

La capacité bilancielle reste solide, mais les dépenses sont importantes. L’actif total a atteint 55,8 milliards de dollars (+9 % depuis le début de l’année) ; la trésorerie a augmenté à 4,41 milliards de dollars après émission de 4,0 milliards de dollars d’actions ordinaires et 1,36 milliard de dollars d’obligations, partiellement compensée par un remboursement d’obligations de 1,25 milliard. Les acquisitions nettes d’immobilisations et les dépenses en capital ont absorbé 3,65 milliards, principalement dans Seniors Housing Operating (2,44 milliards) et Triple-net (1,12 milliard). La dette s’établissait à 15,97 milliards de dollars avec un taux moyen non garanti de 3,9 %, sans ligne de crédit renouvelable ni papier commercial en circulation. Le flux de trésorerie opérationnel cumulé a augmenté de 35 % à 1,37 milliard, couvrant les dividendes 1,6 fois.

Welltower (WELL) verzeichnete erneut ein starkes Umsatzwachstum im Quartal. Der Gesamtumsatz im zweiten Quartal 2025 stieg im Jahresvergleich um 40 % auf 2,55 Mrd. USD, getrieben durch einen Anstieg der Bewohnergebühren und -dienstleistungen um 41 % sowie der Mieteinnahmen um 44 %, da die Care UK-Anlagen (geschlossen im Oktober 2024) und die Aspire Pflegeeinrichtungen (Februar 2025) in die Ergebnisse einflossen. Der auf Stammaktionäre entfallende Nettogewinn stieg um 19 % auf 301,9 Mio. USD; das verwässerte Ergebnis je Aktie (EPS) stieg von 0,42 auf 0,45 USD. Für die ersten sechs Monate stiegen die Umsätze um 35 % auf 4,97 Mrd. USD und das EPS kletterte um 32 % auf 0,85 USD. Die Quartalsdividende wurde um 10 % auf 0,67 USD erhöht und entspricht einer Ausschüttungsquote von 74 % des bisherigen Jahres-EPS.

Die Bilanzkapazität bleibt solide, aber die Ausgaben sind hoch. Die Gesamtvermögenswerte erreichten 55,8 Mrd. USD (+9 % seit Jahresbeginn); die liquiden Mittel stiegen auf 4,41 Mrd. USD nach der Ausgabe von 4,0 Mrd. USD Stammaktien und 1,36 Mrd. USD Anleihen, teilweise ausgeglichen durch eine Rückzahlung von Anleihen in Höhe von 1,25 Mrd. USD. Nettoimmobilienakquisitionen und Investitionsausgaben betrugen 3,65 Mrd. USD, hauptsächlich im Bereich Seniorenwohnen Betrieb (2,44 Mrd. USD) und Triple-net (1,12 Mrd. USD). Die Verschuldung lag bei 15,97 Mrd. USD mit einem gemischten unbesicherten Zinssatz von 3,9 %, ohne ausstehende revolvierende Kreditlinien oder Commercial Paper. Der operative Cashflow seit Jahresbeginn wuchs um 35 % auf 1,37 Mrd. USD und deckt die Dividenden mit dem Faktor 1,6 ab.

Strategische Aktivitäten beschleunigen das Wachstum. Wichtige Schritte umfassen: 1) Erwerb von Aspire mit 48 Einrichtungen (991 Mio. USD), 2) Abschluss der Auflösung des Chartwell-Joint Ventures (Gewinn von 53 Mio. USD), 3) Start eines privaten Seniorenwohnfonds (GP-Anteil von 279 Mio. USD) und 4) eine Vereinbarung zum Kauf von Amica im Wert von 4,6 Mrd. CAD (Abschluss Ende 2025/Anfang 2026). Wertminderungen von 72 Mio. USD, höhere Abschreibungen und steigende Zinsaufwendungen dämpfen das Wachstum des Nettogewinns, aber die zugrunde liegende NOI-Dynamik (Top-5-Betreiber machen jetzt 28 % des NOI aus) und die Liquiditätslage positionieren WELL für weiteres akquisitives Wachstum.

Positive
  • Revenue growth: Q2 sales up 40% YoY; six-month sales up 35%.
  • Earnings momentum: Diluted EPS up 7% YoY; YTD EPS up 32%.
  • Liquidity: $4.4 bn cash; no revolver/CP borrowings outstanding.
  • Dividend safety: YTD OCF covers dividends 1.6×; payout increased 10%.
  • Strategic fund launch: New seniors-housing fund provides fee income and capital-light growth.
Negative
  • Capital intensity: $3.65 bn YTD acquisition and CapEx spend pressures free cash.
  • Impairments: $72 mm asset write-downs signal asset-level weakness.
  • Operator concentration: Top-5 relationships now 28% of NOI, heightening counterparty risk.
  • Equity dilution: Share count rose 11% YoY through ATM issuance.
  • Interest expense: Up 6% YoY despite note redemption; rising rate exposure on variable debt.

Insights

TL;DR � Robust revenue and cash raise offset heavy cap-ex; outlook tilts positive.

Welltower’s 40% YoY revenue surge and 32% YTD EPS growth confirm the earnings power of its recent Care UK and asset-conversion strategy. Equity and note issuance expanded liquidity to >$4 bn cash while keeping leverage manageable (net debt/total cap �28%). The Aspire buy adds stable triple-net rent, and the private fund seeds an off-balance-sheet growth engine that can generate fee income and recycle capital. Impairments and $3.6 bn of acquisition spend underline execution risk, but dividend coverage improved and no revolver debt is outstanding, giving management flexibility if financing markets tighten.

TL;DR � Higher leverage trend and asset concentration warrant monitoring.

Although leverage metrics remain investment-grade, secured and unsecured debt climbed $470 mm YTD and interest expense is up 6% YoY. Seniors Housing Operating now drives >75% of cash outlays and exposures to Cogir, Aspire & Care UK collectively represent 28% of NOI, raising operator concentration risk. Impairment charges signal volatility in underperforming assets. Equity dilution (shares +13% YoY) is cushioning metrics; future accretion hinges on successful integration of large pipelines such as Amica. Overall risk profile is unchanged but skew could shift negative if cap-rates back up or occupancy softens.

Der operative Cashflow seit Jahresbeginn wuchs um 35 % auf 1,37 Mrd. USD und deckt die Dividenden mit dem Faktor 1,6 ab.

Strategische Aktivitäten beschleunigen das Wachstum. Wichtige Schritte umfassen: 1) Erwerb von Aspire mit 48 Einrichtungen (991 Mio. USD), 2) Abschluss der Auflösung des Chartwell-Joint Ventures (Gewinn von 53 Mio. USD), 3) Start eines privaten Seniorenwohnfonds (GP-Anteil von 279 Mio. USD) und 4) eine Vereinbarung zum Kauf von Amica im Wert von 4,6 Mrd. CAD (Abschluss Ende 2025/Anfang 2026). Wertminderungen von 72 Mio. USD, höhere Abschreibungen und steigende Zinsaufwendungen dämpfen das Wachstum des Nettogewinns, aber die zugrunde liegende NOI-Dynamik (Top-5-Betreiber machen jetzt 28 % des NOI aus) und die Liquiditätslage positionieren WELL für weiteres akquisitives Wachstum.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this communication are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements relate to future events or future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause Union Pacific’s, Norfolk Southern’s or the combined company’s actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements or those of the railroad industry to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words like “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “pro forma,” or any variations or other comparable terminology.

While Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern have based these forward-looking statements on those expectations, assumptions, estimates, beliefs and projections they view as reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond Union Pacific’s, Norfolk Southern’s or the combined company’s control, including but not limited to, in addition to factors disclosed in Union Pacific’s and Norfolk Southern’s respective filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange


Commission (the “SEC”): the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the definitive merger agreement between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern providing for the acquisition of Norfolk Southern by Union Pacific (the “Transaction”); the risk that potential legal proceedings may be instituted against Union Pacific or Norfolk Southern and result in significant costs of defense, indemnification or liability; the possibility that the Transaction does not close when expected or at all because required Surface Transportation Board, shareholder or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Transaction); the risk that the combined company will not realize expected benefits, cost savings, accretion, synergies and/or growth from the Transaction, or that such benefits may take longer to realize or be more costly to achieve than expected, including as a result of changes in, or problems arising from, general economic and market conditions, tariffs, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern operate; disruption to the parties’ businesses as a result of the announcement and pendency of the Transaction; the costs associated with the anticipated length of time of the pendency of the Transaction, including the restrictions contained in the definitive merger agreement on the ability of Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, respectively, to operate their respective businesses outside the ordinary course during the pendency of the Transaction; the diversion of Union Pacific’s and Norfolk Southern’s management’s attention and time from ongoing business operations and opportunities on merger-related matters; the risk that the integration of each party’s operations will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected or that the parties are otherwise unable to successfully integrate each party’s businesses into the other’s businesses; the possibility that the Transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; reputational risk and potential adverse reactions of Union Pacific’s or Norfolk Southern’s customers, suppliers, employees, labor unions or other business partners, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the Transaction; the dilution caused by Union Pacific’s issuance of additional shares of its common stock in connection with the consummation of the Transaction; the risk of a downgrade of the credit rating of Union Pacific’s indebtedness, which could give rise to an obligation to redeem existing indebtedness; a material adverse change in the financial condition of Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern or the combined company; changes in domestic or international economic, political or business conditions, including those impacting the transportation industry (including customers, employees and supply chains); Union Pacific’s, Norfolk Southern’s and the combined company’s ability to successfully implement its respective operational, productivity, and strategic initiatives; a significant adverse event on Union Pacific’s or Norfolk Southern’s network, including, but not limited to, a mainline accident, discharge of hazardous materials, or climate-related or other network outage; the outcome of claims, litigation, governmental proceedings and investigations involving Union Pacific or Norfolk Southern, including, in the case of Norfolk Southern, those with respect to the Eastern Ohio incident; the nature and extent of Norfolk Southern’s environmental remediation obligations with respect to the Eastern Ohio incident; new or additional governmental regulation and/or operational changes resulting from or related to the Eastern Ohio incident; and a cybersecurity incident or other disruption to our technology infrastructure.

This list of important factors is not intended to be exhaustive. These and other important factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in Norfolk Southern’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (available at: https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0000702165/000070216525000008/nsc-20241231.htm) and Union Pacific’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 7, 2025 (available at: https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0000100885/000010088525000042/unp-20241231.htm) (the “Union Pacific Annual Report”), as well as Union Pacific’s and Norfolk Southern’s subsequent filings with the SEC, may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. References to Union Pacific’s and Norfolk Southern’s website are provided for convenience and, therefore, information on or available through the website is not, and should not be deemed to be, incorporated by reference herein. The forward-looking statements herein are made only as of the date they were first issued, and unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law or regulation.
