Ventas Inc. made modest revisions to its risk factor disclosures between 2023 and 2024, adding two new risks focused on university relationships and data privacy/cybersecurity regulations while removing one obsolete LIBOR-related risk. The company substantively modified 11 of its 54 total risks, with notable changes to disclosures addressing operational liabilities, REIT qualification restrictions, and hospital-related exposures. These adjustments reflect evolving business priorities and regulatory landscape shifts, though the overall risk architecture remained largely stable with 40 risks carried forward unchanged.
