("RUI"), a premier U.S. seniors housing operator with a significant East Coast presence. These long-term partnerships are expected to meaningfully contribute to future capital deployment opportunities

Capital Activity and Liquidity Inclusive of available borrowings under our line of credit, cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, as of December 31, 2022, we had $4.7 billion of near-term available liquidity and no material senior unsecured note maturities until 2024. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we settled 18.0 million shares of common stock that were sold under our ATM program via forward sale agreements, resulting in $1.5 billion of gross proceeds. We reduced our share of variable rate debt to 16.0% as of December 31, 2022 from 19.7% as of September 30, 2022.
Notable Investment Activity Completed During the Quarter
In the fourth quarter, we completed $412 million of pro rata gross investments including $223 million in acquisitions and loan funding, as well as $188 million in development funding. We opened ten development projects for an aggregate pro rata investment amount of $277 million. Additionally, during the quarter we completed pro rata property dispositions and loan payoffs of $159 million.
Integra Healthcare Properties Transition During the quarter, we entered into definitive agreements to effectuate the sale and transition of 147 skilled nursing facilities operated by ProMedica. In December, ProMedica relinquished to us its 15% interest in the portfolio previously owned in a joint venture with Welltower and ProMedica, absolving ProMedica from its lease obligation related to these properties. Integra entered into master leases for the portfolio and will bear financial responsibility for all assets, including assets where it has not yet acquired an ownership stake. Integra's business plan entails entering into sub-leases with approximately 15 regional operators with strong performance track records in their respective markets. Additionally, in December we sold to Integra a 15% interest in 54 skilled nursing assets for approximately $73 million, and in January 2023, we sold to Integra a 15% interest in 31 skilled nursing assets for approximately $74 million. The transactions represent the first two tranches in the formation of an 85/15 joint venture between Welltower and Integra, with the remaining tranches expected to close over the next 12 months.
StoryPoint Senior Living During October, we closed on a tranche of five properties for a purchase price of $113 million.
Other Transactions Additionally, during the fourth quarter, we disposed of one seniors housing property for proceeds of $8 million.
Notable Investment Activity Completed During 2022
During 2022, we completed $4.1 billion of pro rata gross investments including $3.0 billion in acquisitions and loan funding, as well as $1.1 billion in development funding. We converted 21 development projects for an aggregate pro rata amount of $668 million. Additionally, during the year we completed pro rata property dispositions and loan payoffs of $423 million.
Wellness Housing Platform As the largest owner of moderately priced age-restricted and age-targeted rental housing in the U.S., we continued to grow our platform throughout 2022 through the acquisition of 42 properties. As of December 31, 2022, we have greater than 3,600 wellness housing units currently under development.
StoryPoint Senior Living During 2022, we expanded our relationship with StoryPoint Senior Living, a preeminent senior living operator based in Brighton, Michigan through the acquisition of communities throughout Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee under an aligned RIDEA 3.0 contract. In total, we have acquired 30 properties with StoryPoint throughout 2022 for a pro rata purchase price of $470 million. With a median vintage of 2016, the communities were largely in lease-up at the onset of the pandemic and, similar to the rest of the industry, were significantly impacted by COVID-related operational challenges. These properties are anticipated to generate significant occupancy, margin and cash flow growth in 2023 and beyond under StoryPoint's operating platform.
Oakmont Management Group Throughout 2022, we expanded our strategic partnership with Oakmont, a leading West Coast operator of Class-A communities focused on specialized resident health and wellness programming. We purchased four newly constructed rental communities and three stable entrance fee communities in high barrier-to-entry California markets for an aggregate purchase price of $334 million. Additionally, because of Oakmont's demonstrated track record of success to drive improved NOI, we transitioned ten California properties from another operator to Oakmont. Following these transactions, the Welltower-Oakmont partnership comprises 33 assets, with an additional property in development.
Cogir Management Corporation We continued to grow our relationship with Cogir, closing on four separate transactions during the year, for a total of 10 properties in Canada and four in the U.S. with a total pro rata purchase price of $772 million. The properties are in highly attractive markets and expected to generate unlevered IRR in the high single-digit range.
Related Companies and Atria Senior Living In 2019, we announced a long-term strategic partnership with Related Companies and Atria Senior Living to develop and invest in modern urban communities catering to seniors living in major metropolitan areas. During 2022, we delivered two residential communities as part of the partnership; Coterie Cathedral Hill, an upscale 208-unit senior living facility in a premier location within San Francisco, and a luxury residential tower in New York City that includes Coterie Hudson Yards, a 126-unit assisted living tower, and 406 apartment units.
Additionally, we began development on our third and fourth locations for the partnership's series of modern communities in California. The Cupertino development, which will grant seniors unrivaled access to the best of Cupertino's amenities with convenient connectivity to Silicon Valley, and the Santa Clara development, which is located at the apex of Silicon Valley and the growing East Bay, both broke ground during 2022.
Reuben Brothers During 2022, we formed a long-term strategic partnership in conjunction with Reuben Brothers acquisition of Avery Healthcare, one of our largest operators and our largest partner in the U.K. The 50/50 joint venture is expected to generate significant future growth opportunities through Reuben Brothers real estate investment and development acumen. During the year the joint venture acquired six properties previously owned or financed by Welltower and commenced development starts for an additional four properties. Additionally, in December 2022, Lorna Rose, a highly-accomplished seniors housing executive with over 25 years of experience, was appointed CEO of Avery to lead the joint venture into its next stage of growth. Ms. Rose spent the last seven years at Barchester Healthcare where she served as a member of the Executive Team and had responsibility for the operational leadership of 80 care homes.
Notable Investment Activity Subsequent to Year End
Subsequent to year end, we completed $283 million in pro rata gross investments, in addition to the sale of a 15% interest in 31 skilled nursing assets for approximately $74 million to Integra.
Dividend On February 15, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 of $0.61 per share. This dividend, which will be paid on March 8, 2023 to stockholders of record as of February 28, 2023, will be our 207th consecutive quarterly cash dividend. The declaration and payment of future quarterly dividends remains subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors.
Outlook for 2023 We are introducing our 2023 earnings guidance and expect to report net income attributable to common stockholders in a range of $0.57 to $0.75 per diluted share and normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders in a range of $3.35 to $3.53 per diluted share. In preparing our guidance, we have made the following assumptions:
- Same Store NOI: We expect average blended SSNOI growth of 8% to 13%, which is comprised of the following components:
- Seniors Housing Operating approximately 15% to 24 %
- Seniors Housing Triple-net approximately 1% to 3%
- Outpatient Medical approximately 2% to 3%
- Long-Term/Post-Acute Care approximately 2% to 3%
- Investments: Our earnings guidance includes only those acquisitions closed or announced to date. Furthermore, no transitions or restructures beyond those announced to date are included.
- Impact of Interest Rates and Foreign Exchange Rates: Increased interest rates on floating rate debt and a strengthening U.S. Dollar relative to the British Pound and Canadian Dollar are expected to reduce 2023 normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders by approximately $0.19 per diluted share versus 2022.
- General and Administrative Expenses: We anticipate general and administrative expenses to be approximately $166 million to $174 million and stock-based compensation expense to be approximately $29 million.
- Development: We anticipate funding approximately $689 million of development in 2023 relating to projects underway on December 31, 2022.
- Dispositions: We expect pro rata disposition proceeds of $383 million at a blended yield of 7.9% in the next twelve months. This includes approximately $362 million of expected proceeds from property sales and $21 million of expected proceeds from loan repayments.
- Provider Relief Funds: Our 2023 earnings guidance does not include the recognition of any Provider Relief Funds or other government grants which may be received during the year. In 2022, we recognized approximately $35 million at our share relating to Provider Relief Funds and similar programs in the United Kingdom and Canada.
Our guidance does not include any additional investments, dispositions or capital transactions beyond those we have announced, nor any other expenses, impairments, unanticipated additions to the loan loss reserve or other additional normalizing items. Please see the Supplemental Reporting Measures section for further discussion and our definition of normalized FFO and SSNOI and Exhibit 3 for a reconciliation of the outlook for net income available to common stockholders to normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders. We will provide additional detail regarding our 2023 outlook and assumptions on the fourth quarter 2022 conference call.

Supplemental Reporting Measures We believe that net income and net income attributable to common stockholders ("NICS"), as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), are the most appropriate earnings measurements. However, we consider funds from operations ("FFO"), normalized FFO, NOI, SSNOI, REVPOR, SS REVPOR, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. Excluding EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, these supplemental measures are disclosed on our pro rata ownership basis. Pro rata amounts are derived by reducing consolidated amounts for minority partners' noncontrolling ownership interests and adding our minority ownership share of unconsolidated amounts. We do not control unconsolidated investments. While we consider pro rata disclosures useful, they may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of our joint venture arrangements and should be used with caution.
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time as evidenced by the provision for depreciation. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. In response, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation from net income. FFO attributable to common stockholders, as defined by NAREIT, means net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate and impairments of depreciable assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests. Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders represents FFO attributable to common stockholders adjusted for certain items detailed in Exhibit 2. We believe that normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance because investors and equity analysts may use this measure to compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other REITs or other companies on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated and/or incalculable items.
We define NOI as total revenues, including tenant reimbursements, less property operating expenses. Property operating expenses represent costs associated with managing, maintaining and servicing tenants for our properties. These expenses include, but are not limited to, property-related payroll and benefits, property management fees paid to operators, marketing, housekeeping, food service, maintenance, utilities, property taxes and insurance. General and administrative expenses represent general overhead costs that are unrelated to property operations and unallocable to the properties, or transaction costs. These expenses include, but are not limited to, payroll and benefits related to corporate employees, professional services, office expenses and depreciation of corporate fixed assets. SSNOI is used to evaluate the operating performance of our properties using a consistent population which controls for changes in the composition of our portfolio. As used herein, same store is generally defined as those revenue-generating properties in the portfolio for the relevant year-over-year reporting periods. Acquisitions and development conversions are included in the same store amounts five full quarters after acquisition or being placed into service. Land parcels, loans and sub-leases, as well as any properties sold or classified as held for sale during the period, are excluded from the same store amounts. Redeveloped properties (including major refurbishments of a Seniors Housing Operating property where 20% or more of units are simultaneously taken out of commission for 30 days or more or Outpatient Medical properties undergoing a change in intended use) are excluded from the same store amounts until five full quarters post completion of the redevelopment. Properties undergoing operator transitions and/or segment transitions are also excluded from the same store amounts until five full quarters post completion of the operator transition or segment transition. In addition, properties significantly impacted by force majeure, acts of God or other extraordinary adverse events are excluded from same store amounts until five full quarters after the properties are placed back into service. SSNOI excludes non-cash NOI and includes adjustments to present consistent property ownership percentages and to translate Canadian properties and UK properties using a consistent exchange rate. Normalizers include adjustments that in management's opinion are appropriate in considering SSNOI, a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure. None of these adjustments, which may increase or decrease SSNOI, are reflected in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Significant normalizers (defined as any that individually exceed 0.50% of SSNOI growth per property type) are separately disclosed and explained. We believe NOI and SSNOI provide investors relevant and useful information because they measure the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI and SSNOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our properties. No reconciliation of the forecasted range for SSNOI on a combined basis or by property type is included in this release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts, and we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.
REVPOR represents the average revenues generated per occupied room per month at our Seniors Housing Operating properties. It is calculated as our pro rata version of total resident fees and services revenues from the income statement divided by average monthly occupied room days. SS REVPOR is used to evaluate the REVPOR performance of our properties under a consistent population which eliminates changes in the composition of our portfolio. It is based on the same pool of properties used for SSNOI and includes any revenue normalizations used for SSNOI. We use REVPOR and SS REVPOR to evaluate the revenue-generating capacity and profit potential of our Seniors Housing Operating portfolio independent of fluctuating occupancy rates. They are also used in comparison against industry and competitor statistics, if known, to evaluate the quality of our Seniors Housing Operating portfolio.
We measure our credit strength both in terms of leverage ratios and coverage ratios. The leverage ratios indicate how much of our balance sheet capitalization is related to long-term debt, net of cash and restricted cash. We expect to maintain capitalization ratios and coverage ratios sufficient to maintain a capital structure consistent with our current profile. The ratios are based on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as earnings (net income per income statement) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding unconsolidated entities and including adjustments for stock-based compensation expense, provision for loan losses, gains/losses on extinguishment of debt, gains/losses/impairments on properties, gains/losses on derivatives and financial instruments, other expenses, other impairment charges and other adjustments deemed appropriate in management's opinion. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, along with net income, are important supplemental measures because they provide additional information to assess and evaluate the performance of our operations. Our leverage ratios include net debt to Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt is defined as total long-term debt, excluding operating lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.
Our supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and ratings agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Our management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to historical operating results and in making operating decisions. Additionally, they are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management. The supplemental reporting measures do not represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity. Finally, the supplemental reporting measures, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts or other companies. Please see the exhibits for reconciliations of supplemental reporting measures and the supplemental information package for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, which is available on the Company's website (www.welltower.com), for information and reconciliations of additional supplemental reporting measures.
