As disclosed in this Quarterly Report, including in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements—Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and Related Party Transactions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS (UHS of Delaware, Inc.) serves as our Advisor pursuant to the terms of an annually renewable Advisory Agreement dated December 24, 1986, and as amended and restated as of January 1, 2019. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year, however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by our Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS, that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement was renewed for 2024 with the same terms as the Advisory Agreement in place during 2023 and 2022. Our officers are all employees of UHS through its wholly-owned subsidiary, UHS of Delaware, Inc. In addition, five of our hospital facilities are leased to wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, one of our hospital facilities is leased to a joint venture between a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and a third party, and subsidiaries of UHS are tenants of twenty-one medical/office buildings or free-standing emergency departments, that are either wholly or jointly-owned by us. Any reference to “UHS” or “UHS facilities” in this report is referring to Universal Health Services, Inc.’s subsidiaries, including UHS of Delaware, Inc.

In this Quarterly Report, the term “revenues” does not include the revenues of the unconsolidated limited liability companies (“LLCs”) in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 95%. As of March 31, 2024, we had investments in four jointly-owned LLCs/LPs. We currently account for our share of the income/loss from these investments by the equity method (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein).

UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2024

(unaudited)

 

(1) General

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. In this Quarterly Report, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Trust” refer to Universal Health Realty Income Trust and its subsidiaries.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the term “revenues” does not include the revenues of the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 95%. As of March 31, 2024, we had investments in four jointly-owned LLCs/LPs. We currently account for our share of the income/loss from these investments by the equity method (see Note 5).

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in our opinion, are necessary to fairly present results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

(2) Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and Related Party Transactions

Leases: We commenced operations in 1986 by purchasing certain properties from subsidiaries of UHS and immediately leasing the properties back to the respective subsidiaries. The base rentals and lease and renewal terms for each of the hospitals leased to subsidiaries of UHS as of March 31, 2024, are provided below. The base rents are paid monthly. The lease on McAllen Medical Center also provides for bonus rent which is paid quarterly based upon a computation that compares the hospital’s current quarter revenue to a corresponding quarter in the base year. The hospital leases with subsidiaries of UHS, with the exception of the lease on Clive Behavioral Health Hospital (which is operated by UHS in a joint venture with an unrelated third party), are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another. The lease for the Clive facility is guaranteed on a several basis by UHS (52%) and Catholic Health Initiatives-Iowa (48%).

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the three acute care and three behavioral health care hospital facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS at March 31, 2024, accounted for approximately 24% and 26% of our consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition to the six UHS hospital facilities, we have twenty-one properties consisting of medical/office buildings, (including one newly constructed medical office building ("MOB") that was substantially completed during the first quarter of 2023 and one MOB that was acquired during the third quarter of 2023), and FEDs that are either wholly or jointly-owned by us that include tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS. The aggregate revenues generated from UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 41% and 40% of our consolidated revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On December 31, 2021, we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates, which was amended during the first quarter of 2022, pursuant to the terms of which: (i) a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased from us, the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System located in Wildomar, California, at its fair market value of $79.6 million; (ii) two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS transferred to us, the real estate assets of Aiken Regional Medical Center, (“Aiken”), located in Aiken, South Carolina (which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion), at its fair-market value of approximately $57.7 million, and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”), located in Temple, Texas, at its fair-market value of approximately $26.0 million, and; (iii) we paid approximately $4.1 million in cash to UHS.

As a result of UHS’ purchase option within the lease agreements of Aiken and Canyon Creek, the transaction is accounted for as a failed sale leaseback in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the properties acquired by us in connection with the asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS, as amended, were accounted for as financing arrangements and our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include financing receivables related to this transaction of $83.2 million and $83.3 million, respectively.

Also on December 31, 2021, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases as amended, (with us as lessor), for initial lease terms on each property of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. Subject to the terms of the master lease, Aiken and Canyon Creek have the right to renew their leases, at the then current fair market rent (as defined in the master lease), for seven, five-year optional renewal terms. Pursuant to the leases, as amended during the first quarter of 2022, the

8


 

aggregate annual rental rate during 2024 on the acquired properties, which is payable to us on a monthly basis, is approximately $5.9 million ($4.1 million related to Aiken and $1.8 million related to Canyon Creek). The portion of the lease payments that is included in our consolidated statements of income, and reflected as interest income on financing leases, was approximately $1.4 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. There is no bonus rental component applicable to either of these leases.

Pursuant to the terms of the master leases by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 and December 31, 2021 (the “Master Leases”), which govern the leases of McAllen Medical Center, Wellington Regional Medical Center (governed by the Master Lease dated December 24, 1986), Aiken Regional Medical Center and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (governed by the Master Lease dated December 31, 2021, as amended), all of which are hospital properties that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the option, among other things, to renew the leases at the lease terms described below by providing notice to us at least 90 days prior to the termination of the then current term. UHS also has the right to purchase the respective leased facilities from us at their appraised fair market value upon any of the following: (i) at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms; (ii) upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, or; (iii) within the time period as specified in the leases in the event that UHS provides notice to us of their intent to offer a substitution property/properties in exchange for one (or more) of the four wholly-owned UHS hospital facilities leased from us, should we be unable to reach an agreement with UHS on the properties to be substituted. Additionally, UHS has rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for a specified period after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for a specified period after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer.

In addition, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS is the managing, majority member in a joint-venture with an unrelated third-party that operates, and leases from us, Clive Behavioral Health. This 100-bed behavioral health care facility is located in Clive, Iowa and was completed and opened in late December, 2020 and the hospital lease commenced on December 31, 2020. The lease on this facility is triple net and has an initial term of 20 years with five 10-year renewal options. On each January 1st through 2040 (and potentially through 2070 if the first three of five, 10-year renewal options are exercised), the annual rental will increase by 2.75% on a cumulative and compounded basis. The first three of the five 10-year renewal options will provide for annual rental as stipulated in the lease (2041 through 2070) and the two additional 10-year lease renewal options will be at fair market value lease rates (2071 through 2090). Pursuant to the lease on this facility, the joint venture has the option to, among other things, renew the lease at the terms specified in the lease agreement by providing notice to us at least 270 days prior to the termination of the then current term. The joint venture also has the right to purchase the leased facility from us at its appraised fair market value upon either of the following: (i) by providing notice at least 270 days prior to the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms, or; (ii) upon 30 days’ notice anytime within 12 months of a change of control of the Trust (UHS also has this right should the joint venture decline to exercise its purchase right). Additionally, the joint venture has rights of first offer to purchase the facility prior to any third-party sale.

The table below details the existing lease terms and renewal options for each of the hospital leases that are related to UHS as of March 31, 2024, consisting of three acute care hospitals and three behavioral health hospitals:

Management cannot predict whether the leases with wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, which have renewal options at existing lease rates or fair market value lease rates, or any of our other leases, will be renewed at the end of their lease term. If the leases are not renewed at their current rates or the fair market value lease rates, we would be required to find other operators for those facilities and/or enter into leases on terms potentially less favorable to us than the current leases. In addition, if subsidiaries of UHS exercise their options to purchase the respective leased hospital or FED facilities upon expiration of the lease terms, our future revenues could decrease if we were unable to earn a favorable rate of return on the sale proceeds received, as compared to the rental revenue currently earned pursuant to these leases.

During the third quarter of 2023, we acquired the McAllen Doctor's Center, an MOB located in McAllen, Texas for a purchase price of approximately $7.6 million, including transaction costs. The building has approximately 79,500 rentable square feet and is 100% master leased to McAllen Hospitals, L.P, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. The triple-net master lease is for twelve years scheduled to expire on August 31, 2035. McAllen Hospitals, L.P. has the option to renew the lease term for three consecutive ten-year terms. The initial annual base rent is approximately $624,000.

During the first quarter of 2023, construction was substantially completed on Sierra Medical Plaza I, a multi-tenant MOB located in Reno, Nevada, consisting of approximately 86,000 rentable square feet. This MOB is located on the campus of the Northern Nevada Sierra Medical Center, a newly constructed acute care hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which was completed and opened during April of 2022. The cost of the MOB is estimated to be approximately $35 million, approximately $29 million of which was incurred as of March 31, 2024. In connection with this MOB, we entered into a ground lease and master flex-lease agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. The master flex lease agreement has a ten-year term scheduled to expire on March 31, 2033, and covers approximately 68% of the rentable square feet of the MOB at an initial minimum rent of $1.3 million annually plus a pro-rata share of the common area maintenance expenses. The master flex-lease is subject to a reduction during the term based upon the execution of third-party leases. The ground lease and the master flex lease each commenced during March, 2023.

We are the lessee on thirteen ground leases with subsidiaries of UHS (for consolidated and unconsolidated investments), including one that commenced in March, 2023. The remaining lease terms on the ground leases with subsidiaries of UHS range from approximately 25 years to approximately 74 years. The annual aggregate lease payments on these properties are approximately $571,000 during each of the years ended 2024 through 2028, and an aggregate of $31.3 million thereafter. See Note 7 for additional lease accounting disclosure.

Officers and Employees: Our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and although as of March 31, 2024 we had no salaried employees, our officers do typically receive annual stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock. In special circumstances, if warranted and deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, our officers may also receive one-time special compensation awards in the form of restricted stock and/or cash bonuses.

Advisory Agreement: UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to us under an advisory agreement dated December 24, 1986, and as amended and restated as of January 1, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. All transactions between us and UHS must be approved by the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS (the “Independent Trustees”). In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees, that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement was renewed for 2024 with the same terms as the Advisory Agreement in place during 2023 and 2022.

Our advisory fee for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was computed at 0.70% of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses, as compared to an industry peer group, the advisory fee computation remained unchanged for 2024 as compared to 2023 and 2022. The average real estate assets for advisory fee calculation purposes exclude certain items from our condensed consolidated balance sheet such as, among other things, accumulated depreciation, cash and cash equivalents, lease receivables, deferred charges and other assets. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year-end based upon our audited financial statements. Advisory fees incurred and paid (or payable) to UHS amounted to approximately $1.3 million for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and were based upon average invested real estate assets of $765 million and $744 million, respectively.

Share Ownership: As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, UHS owned 5.7% of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest.

SEC reporting requirements of UHS: UHS is subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC and is required to file annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. Since the aggregate revenues generated from the UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 41% and 40% of our consolidated revenues during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and since a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor, you are encouraged to obtain the

New Construction:

In January 2022, we entered into a ground lease and master flex-lease agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS to develop, construct and own the real property of Sierra Medical Plaza I, an MOB located in Reno, Nevada, consisting of approximately 86,000 rentable square feet. This MOB is located on the campus of the Northern Nevada Sierra Medical Center, a hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which was completed and opened during April of 2022. Construction of this MOB, for which we engaged a non-related third party to act as construction manager, commenced in January, 2022, and was substantially completed in March, 2023. The master flex lease agreement in connection with this building, which commenced in March, 2023 and has a ten-year term scheduled to expire on March 31, 2033, covers approximately 68% of the rentable square feet of the MOB at an initial minimum rent of $1.3 million annually, plus pro-rata share of the common area maintenance expenses. This master flex lease agreement is subject to reduction based upon the execution of third-party leases. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the ground lease for this property commenced and a right-of-use asset and lease liability was recorded in connection with this lease. The cost of the MOB is estimated to be approximately $35 million, approximately $29 million of which was incurred as of March 31, 2024.

Acquisitions:

There were no acquisitions during the first three months of 2023.

Divestitures:

There were no divestitures during the first three months of 2023.

(5) Summarized Financial Information of Equity Affiliates

In accordance with U.S. GAAP and guidance relating to accounting for investments and real estate ventures, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs/LPs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. The third-party members in these investments have equal voting rights with regards to issues such as, but not limited to: (i) divestiture of property; (ii) annual budget approval, and; (iii) financing commitments. These investments, which represent 33% to 95% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to, and distributions from, the investments. Pursuant to certain agreements, allocations of sales proceeds and profits and losses of some of the LLC investments may be allocated disproportionately as compared to ownership interests after specified preferred return rate thresholds have been satisfied.

Distributions received from equity method investees in the consolidated statements of cash flows are classified based upon the nature of the distribution. Returns on investments are presented net of equity in income from unconsolidated investments as cash flows from operating activities. Returns of investments are classified as cash flows from investing activities.

11


 

At March 31, 2024, we have non-controlling equity investments or commitments in four jointly-owned LLCs/LPs which own MOBs. As of March 31, 2024 we accounted for these LLCs/LPs on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since they are not variable interest entities which we are the primary beneficiary nor do we have a controlling voting interest. The majority of these entities are joint-ventures between us and non-related parties that hold minority ownership interests in the entities. Each entity is generally self-sustained from a cash flow perspective and generates sufficient cash flow to meet its operating cash flow requirements and service the third-party debt (if applicable) that is non-recourse to us. Although there is typically no ongoing financial support required from us to these entities since they are cash-flow sufficient, we may, from time to time, provide funding for certain purposes such as, but not limited to, significant capital expenditures, leasehold improvements and debt financing. Although we are not obligated to do so, if approved by us at our sole discretion, additional cash funding is typically advanced as equity or member loans. These entities maintain property insurance on the properties.

The following property table represents the four LLCs/LPs in which we owned a non-controlling interest and were accounted for under the equity method as of March 31, 2024:

Pursuant to the operating and/or partnership agreements of the four LLCs/LPs in which we continue to hold non-controlling ownership interests, the third-party member and the Trust, at any time, potentially subject to certain conditions, have the right to make an offer (“Offering Member”) to the other member(s) (“Non-Offering Member”) in which it either agrees to: (i) sell the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member to the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Sell”) at a price as determined by the Offering Member (“Transfer Price”), or; (ii) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Purchase”) at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The Non-Offering Member has 60 to 90 days to either: (i) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member at the Transfer Price, or; (ii) sell its entire ownership interest to the Offering Member at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The closing of the transfer must occur within 60 to 90 days of the acceptance by the Non-Offering Member.

(6) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 848, “Reference Rate Reform.” The amendments in this update contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASC 848 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU 2022-06”) which was issued to defer the sunset date of Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate

13


 

Reform to December 31, 2024. ASU 2022-06 is effective immediately for all companies. ASU 2022-06 has no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

(7) Lease Accounting

As Lessor:

We lease most of our operating properties to customers under agreements that are typically classified as operating leases (as noted below, two of our leases are accounted for as financing arrangements effective on December 31, 2021). We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, under the terms of our leases, the majority of our rental expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance are recovered from our customers. We record amounts reimbursed by customers in the period that the applicable expenses are incurred, which is generally ratably throughout the term of the lease. We have elected the package of practical expedients that allows lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset. This practical expedient allowed us to not separate expenses reimbursed by our customers (“tenant reimbursements”) from the associated rental revenue if certain criteria were met. We assessed these criteria and concluded that the timing and pattern of transfer for rental revenue and the associated tenant reimbursements are the same, and for the leases that qualify as operating leases, we accounted for and presented rental revenue and tenant reimbursements as a single component under Lease revenue in our consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

On December 31, 2021, as a result of the asset purchase and sale transaction with UHS, as amended during the first quarter of 2022, the real estate assets of two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS were transferred to us (Aiken and Canyon Creek). As discussed in Note 2, these assets are accounted for as financing arrangements and our consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 reflect financing receivables related to this transaction amounting to $83.2 million and $83.3 million, respectively. Pursuant to the leases, as amended during the first quarter of 2022, the aggregate annual rental during 2024 on the acquired properties, which is payable to us on a monthly basis, amounts to approximately $5.9 million ($4.1 million related to Aiken and $1.8 million related to Canyon Creek). The portion of these lease payments that will be included in our consolidated statements of income, and reflected as interest income on financing leases, is expected to be approximately $5.4 million during the full year of 2024. Lease revenue will not be impacted by the lease payments received related to these two properties.

The components of the “Lease revenue – UHS facilities” and “Lease revenue – Non-related parties” captions for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are disaggregated below (in thousands). Base rents are primarily stated rent amounts provided for under the leases that are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Bonus rents and tenant reimbursements represent amounts where tenants are contractually obligated to pay an amount that is variable in nature.

Demolition of the former specialty hospital located in Chicago, Illinois, was completed during 2023. The aggregate demolition expenses amounted to approximately $1.5 million, (approximately $1.1 million of which were incurred during the first and second quarters of 2023 and $332,000 of which were incurred during the fourth quarter of 2022). The operating expenses incurred by us in connection with this property were $95,000 during the first quarter of 2024 and $417,000 during the first quarter of 2023 (or $152,000 excluding the $265,000 of demolition costs incurred during the first quarter of 2023). The lease on this facility expired on December 31, 2021.

Evansville, Indiana - Facility:

The lease on the specialty facility, located in Evansville, Indiana, expired during 2019 and the facility has been vacant since that time. The operating expenses incurred by us in connection with this facility were approximately $83,000 and $103,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We continue to market the two above-mentioned properties to third parties. Future operating expenses related to these properties will be incurred by us during the time they remain owned and unleased.

As Lessee:

We are the lessee with various third parties, including subsidiaries of UHS, in connection with ground leases for land at fifteen of our consolidated properties. Our right-of-use land assets represent our right to use the land for the lease term and our lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recognized upon adoption of Topic 842 based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We utilized our estimated incremental borrowing rate, which was derived from information available as of January 1, 2019, or the commencement date of the ground lease, whichever is later, in determining the present value of lease payments for active leases on that date. A right-of-use asset and lease liability are not recognized for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, as these short-term leases are accounted for similarly to previous guidance for operating leases. We do not currently have any ground leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. As of March 31, 2024, our condensed consolidated balance sheet includes right-of-use land assets of approximately $10.9 million and ground lease liabilities of approximately $10.9 million. During the first quarter of 2023, the ground lease for the newly constructed and substantially completed Sierra Medical Plaza I commenced and a right-of-use asset and lease liability was recorded in connection with this lease.

 

(8) Debt and Financial Instruments

Debt:

Management routinely monitors and analyzes the Trust’s capital structure in an effort to maintain the targeted balance among capital resources including the level of borrowings pursuant to our revolving credit facility, the level of borrowings pursuant to non-recourse mortgage debt secured by the real property of our properties and our level of equity including consideration of equity issuances. This ongoing analysis considers factors such as the current debt market and interest rate environment, the current/projected occupancy and financial performance of our properties, the current loan-to-value ratio of our properties, the Trust’s current stock price, the capital resources required for anticipated acquisitions and the expected capital to be generated by anticipated divestitures. This analysis, together with consideration of the Trust’s current balance of revolving credit agreement borrowings, non-recourse mortgage borrowings and equity, assists management in deciding which capital resource to utilize when events such as refinancing of specific debt components occur or additional funds are required to finance the Trust’s growth.

On May 15, 2023 we entered into the first amendment to our amended and restated revolving credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") dated as of July 2, 2021 among the Trust as borrower, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The amendment replaced LIBOR with term SOFR plus .10% ("adjusted term SOFR") as an alternative benchmark rate under the Credit Agreement for settings of benchmark rates that occur on or after the closing date in accordance with the benchmark replacement provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

On July 2, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated Credit Agreement to amend and restate the previously existing $350 million credit agreement, as amended and dated June 5, 2020. Among other things, under the Credit Agreement, our aggregate revolving credit commitment was increased to $375 million from $350 million. The Credit Agreement, which is scheduled to mature on July 2, 2025, provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $375 million, including a $40 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $30 million sublimit for swingline/short-term loans. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we may request that the revolving line of credit be increased by up to an additional $50 million. Borrowings under the new facility are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Trust. In addition, borrowings under the new facility are secured by first priority security interests in and liens on all equity interests in most of the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

16


 

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, at adjusted term SOFR for either one, three, or six months or the Base Rate, plus in either case, a specified margin depending on our total leverage ratio, as determined by the formula set forth in the Credit Agreement. The applicable margin after the first amendment ranges from 1.10% to 1.35% for adjusted term SOFR loans and 0.10% to 0.35% for Base Rate loans. The Credit Agreement, as amended by the first amendment, defines “Base Rate” as the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) one month adjusted term SOFR plus 1%. The Trust will also pay a quarterly revolving facility fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% (depending on the Trust’s total leverage ratio) on the committed amount of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also provides for options to extend the maturity date and borrowing availability for two additional six-month periods.

The margins over adjusted term SOFR, Base Rate and the facility fee are based upon our total leverage ratio. At March 31, 2024, the applicable margin over the adjusted term SOFR rate was 1.20%, the margin over the Base Rate was 0.20% and the facility fee was 0.20%.

At March 31, 2024, we had $333.7 million of outstanding borrowings pursuant to the terms of our $375 million Credit Agreement. We had $41.3 million of available borrowing capacity, net of the outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2024. There are no compensating balance requirements. At December 31, 2023, we had $326.6 million of outstanding borrowings, $3.1 million of outstanding letters of credit and $45.3 million of available borrowing capacity.

In our consolidated statements of cash flows, we report cash flows pursuant to our Credit Agreement on a net basis. Aggregate borrowings under our Credit Agreement were $21.9 million and $19.8 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and aggregate repayments were $14.8 million and $9.5 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on certain indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and other investments, fundamental changes, asset dispositions and dividends and other distributions. The Credit Agreement also contains restrictive covenants regarding the Trust’s ratio of total debt to total assets, the fixed charge coverage ratio, the ratio of total secured debt to total asset value, the ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value, and minimum tangible net worth, as well as customary events of default, the occurrence of which may trigger an acceleration of amounts then outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We are in compliance with all of the covenants in the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2024, and were in compliance with all of the covenants of the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2023. We also believe that we would remain in compliance if, based on the assumption that the majority of the potential new borrowings will be used to fund investments, the full amount of our commitment was borrowed.

The following table includes a summary of the required compliance ratios, giving effect to the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement (dollar amounts in thousands):

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had various mortgages, all of which were non-recourse to us, included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. The mortgages outstanding as of March 31, 2024, had a combined carrying value of approximately $32.7 million and a combined fair value of approximately $30.7 million. The mortgages outstanding as of December 31, 2023, had a combined carrying value of approximately $33.1 million and a combined fair value of approximately $31.2 million. The fair value of our debt was computed based upon quotes received from financial institutions. We consider these to be “level 2” in the fair value hierarchy as outlined in the authoritative guidance for disclosure in connection with debt instruments. Changes in market rates on our fixed rate debt impacts the fair value of debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow.

Financial Instruments:

In December 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $25 million with a fixed interest rate of 3.9495% that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on December 1, 2023 and is scheduled to mature on December 1, 2027. If one-month term SOFR is above 3.9495%, the counterparty pays us, and if one-month term SOFR is less than 3.9495%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 3.9495% and one-month term SOFR.

In March 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $55 million with a fixed interest rate of 0.565% that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on March 25, 2020 and is scheduled to mature on March 25, 2027. On May 15, 2023, this interest rate swap agreement was modified to replace the benchmark rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. If one-month term SOFR is above 0.505%, the counterparty pays us, and if one-month term SOFR is less than 0.505%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 0.505% and one-month term SOFR.

In January 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $35 million with a fixed interest rate of 1.4975% that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on January 15, 2020 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024. On May 15, 2023, this interest rate swap agreement was modified to replace the benchmark rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. If the one-month term SOFR is above 1.41%, the counterparty pays us, and if the one-month term SOFR is less than 1.41%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 1.41% and one-month term SOFR.

During the third quarter of 2019, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $50 million with a fixed interest rate of 1.144% that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on September 16, 2019 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024. On May 15, 2023, this interest rate swap agreement was modified to replace the benchmark rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. If one-month term SOFR is above 1.064%, the counterparty pays us, and if one-month term SOFR is less than 1.064%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 1.064% and one-month term SOFR.

We measure our interest rate swaps at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is based on quotes from third parties. We consider those inputs to be “level 2” in the fair value hierarchy as outlined in the authoritative guidance for disclosures in connection with derivative instruments and hedging activities. At March 31, 2024, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was a net asset of $7.5 million which is included in deferred charges and other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2024, we received approximately $1.6 million from the counterparty, adjusted for the previous quarter accrual, pursuant to the terms of the swaps. During the first quarter of 2023, we received approximately $1.2 million from the counterparty, adjusted for the previous quarter accrual, pursuant to the terms of the swaps. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) within shareholders’ equity. Amounts are reclassified from AOCI to the income

18


 

statement in the period or periods the hedged transaction affects earnings. We do not expect any gains or losses on our interest rate swaps to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months.

(9) Segment Reporting

Our primary business is investing in and leasing healthcare and human service facilities through direct ownership or through joint ventures, which aggregate into a single reportable segment. We actively manage our portfolio of healthcare and human service facilities and may from time to time make decisions to sell lower performing properties not meeting our long-term investment objectives. The proceeds of sales are typically reinvested in new developments or acquisitions, which we believe will meet our planned rate of return. It is our intent that all healthcare and human service facilities will be owned or developed for investment purposes. Our revenue and net income are generated from the operation of our investment portfolio.

Our portfolio is located throughout the United States, however, we do not distinguish or group our operations on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or measuring performance. We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore, we define an operating segment as our individual properties. Individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature and economics of the facilities, tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term average financial performance. No individual property meets the requirements necessary to be considered its own segment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that commenced operations in 1986. We invest in healthcare and human-service related facilities currently including acute care hospitals, behavioral health care hospitals, specialty facilities, free-standing emergency departments, childcare centers and medical/office buildings. As of May 1, 2024, we have seventy-six real estate investments or commitments located in twenty-one states consisting of:

six hospital facilities consisting of three acute care hospitals and three behavioral health care hospitals;
four free-standing emergency departments (“FEDs”);
sixty medical/office buildings, including four owned by unconsolidated limited liability companies (“LLCs”)/limited liability partnerships (“LPs”);
four preschool and childcare centers;
one specialty facilities that are currently vacant, and;
one vacant parcel of land located in Chicago, Illinois.

Forward Looking Statements and Certain Risk Factors

You should carefully review all of the information contained in this Quarterly Report, and should particularly consider any risk factors that we set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, this Quarterly Report and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In this Quarterly Report, we state our beliefs of future events and of our future financial performance. This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our current estimates, expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “appears,” “projects” and similar expressions, or the negative of those words and expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. You should be aware that those statements are only our predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating those statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risks described elsewhere herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 in Item 1A Risk Factors and in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors and in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Forward Looking Statements and Certain Risk Factors, as included herein. Those factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any of our forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or our good faith belief with respect to future events and is subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Many factors could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Such factors include, among other things, the following:

The increase in interest rates has significantly increased our interest expense thereby reducing our net income and cash provided by operations as well as unfavorably impacting our ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms. In addition, the increased interest rates on our borrowings and/or the increased costs related to new construction could affect our ability to make additional attractive investments. As such, the effects of increased interest rates on our borrowings may unfavorably impact our future expenses and rental revenue and may potentially have a negative impact on future lease renewal terms, the underlying value of our properties, and our ability to grow our portfolio and the value of our common shares.
In 2021, the rate of inflation in the United States began to increase and has since risen to levels not experienced in over 40 years. Our tenants are experiencing inflationary pressures, primarily in personnel costs, and we anticipate impacts on other cost areas within the next twelve months. The extent of any future impacts from inflation on our tenants’ businesses and results of operations will be dependent upon how long the elevated inflation levels persist and the extent to which the rate of inflation further increases, if at all, neither of which we are able to predict. If elevated levels of inflation were to persist or if the rate of inflation were to accelerate, expenses of our tenants, and our direct operating expenses that are not passed on to our tenants, could increase faster than anticipated and may require utilization of our and our tenants’ capital resources sooner than expected. Further, given the complexities of the reimbursement landscape in which our tenants operate, their payers may be unwilling or unable to increase reimbursement rates to compensate for inflationary impacts. This may impact their ability and willingness to make rental payments.

20


 

A substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator, UHS, which comprised approximately 41% and 40% of our consolidated revenues for three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As previously disclosed, on December 31, 2021, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased the real estate assets of Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System from us and in exchange, transferred the real estate assets of Aiken Regional Medical Center and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health to us. These transactions were approved by the Independent Trustees of our Board, as well as the UHS Board of Directors. The aggregate annual rental rate during 2024 pursuant to the leases, as amended, for the two facilities transferred to us is approximately $5.9 million; there is no bonus rent component applicable to either of these leases. Please see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements - Lease Accounting, for additional information related to this asset purchase and sale transaction between us and UHS.
We cannot assure you that subsidiaries of UHS will renew the leases on the hospital facilities and free-standing emergency departments, upon the scheduled expirations of the existing lease terms. In addition, if subsidiaries of UHS exercise their options to purchase the respective leased hospital facilities and FEDs, and do not enter into a substitution arrangement upon expiration of the lease terms or otherwise, our future revenues and results of operations could decrease if we were unable to earn a favorable rate of return on the sale proceeds received, as compared to the rental revenue currently earned pursuant to these leases. Please see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements - Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and Related Party Transactions, for additional information related to a lease renewal between us and Wellington Regional Medical Center, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.
The nationwide shortage of nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel has been a significant operating issues facing our healthcare provider tenants, including UHS. In some areas, the labor scarcity is putting a strain on the resources of our tenants and their staff, which has required them to utilize higher-cost temporary labor and pay premiums above standard compensation for essential workers. The staffing shortage has required certain of our tenants to enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel or required them to hire expensive temporary personnel. Our tenants have also experienced general inflationary cost increases related to medical supplies as well as certain other operating expenses. Many of these factors, which had a material unfavorable impact on the operating results of certain of our tenants during 2022, moderated to a certain degree during 2023.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in March, 2020, has at various times had a material effect on the operations and financial results of our tenants. We cannot predict if there will be future disruptions caused by COVID-19.
On January 19, 2024, President Biden signed into law fiscal year 2024 appropriations to federal agencies for continuing projects and activities through September 30, 2024. We cannot predict whether or not there will be future legislation averting a federal government shutdown, however, the operating results and results of operations of certain of our tenants, and therefore potentially ours, could be materially unfavorably impacted by a federal government shutdown.
In certain of our markets, the general real estate market has been unfavorably impacted by increased competition/capacity and decreases in occupancy and rental rates which may adversely impact our operating results and the underlying value of our properties.
A number of legislative initiatives have recently been passed into law that may result in major changes in the health care delivery system on a national or state level to the operators of our facilities, including UHS. No assurances can be given that the implementation of these new laws will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of our operators.
A subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor and our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which may create the potential for conflicts of interest.
Lost revenues resulting from the exercise of purchase options, lease expirations and renewals and other transactions (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements – Lease Accounting for additional disclosure related to lease expirations and subsequent vacancies that occurred during the second and third quarters of 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2021 on three specialty hospital facilities; one of which was divested in December, 2023, and another on which the demolition was substantially completed during the second quarter of 2023).
Potential unfavorable tax consequences and reduced income resulting from an inability to complete, within the statutory timeframes, anticipated tax deferred like-kind exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, if, and as, applicable from time-to-time.
The potential unfavorable impact on our business of the deterioration in national, regional and local economic and business conditions, including a worsening of credit and/or capital market conditions, which may adversely affect our ability to obtain capital which may be required to fund the future growth of our business and refinance existing debt with near term maturities.
A deterioration in general economic conditions which may result in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or insured and likely increase the number of individuals without health insurance. Under these circumstances, the operators of

21


 

our facilities may experience declines in patient volumes which could result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings.
A worsening of the economic and employment conditions in the United States would likely materially affect the business of our operators, including UHS, which would likely unfavorably impact our future bonus rental revenue (on one UHS hospital facility) and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms and the underlying value of the hospital properties.
There is a heightened risk of future cybersecurity threats, including ransomware attacks targeting healthcare providers. If successful, future cyberattacks could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any costs that we, or our third-party property managers, incur as a result of a data security incident or breach, including costs to update security protocols to mitigate such an incident or breach could be significant. Any breach or failure in our, our third-party property managers', our tenants’, or our or their respective third-party service providers’ operational security systems, can result in loss of data or an unauthorized disclosure of or access to sensitive or confidential member or protected personal or health information and could result in violations of applicable privacy and other laws, significant penalties or fines, litigation, loss of customers, significant damage to our or their reputation and business, and other liability or losses. We may also incur additional costs related to cybersecurity risk management and remediation. There can be no assurance that we, our third-party property managers, our tenants or our or their service providers, if applicable, will not suffer losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches in the future or that insurance coverage (if applicable) will be adequate to cover all the costs resulting from such events.
The outcome and effects of known and unknown litigation, government investigations, and liabilities and other claims asserted against us, UHS or the other operators of our facilities. UHS and its subsidiaries are subject to legal actions, purported shareholder class actions and shareholder derivative cases, governmental investigations and regulatory actions and the effects of adverse publicity relating to such matters. Since UHS comprised approximately 41% of our consolidated revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and since a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor, you are encouraged to obtain and review the disclosures contained in the Legal Proceedings section of Universal Health Services, Inc.’s Forms 10-Q and 10-K, as publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those filings are the sole responsibility of UHS and are not incorporated by reference herein.
Failure of UHS or the other operators of our hospital facilities to comply with governmental regulations related to the Medicare and Medicaid licensing and certification requirements could have a material adverse impact on our future revenues and the underlying value of the property.
Real estate market factors, including without limitation, the supply and demand of office space and market rental rates, changes in interest rates as well as an increase in the development of medical office condominiums in certain markets.
The impact of property values and results of operations of severe weather conditions, including the effects of hurricanes.
Government regulations, including changes in the reimbursement levels under the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The issues facing the health care industry that affect the operators of our facilities, including UHS, such as: changes in, or the ability to comply with, existing laws and government regulations; unfavorable changes in the levels and terms of reimbursement by third party payers or government programs, including Medicare (including, but not limited to, the potential unfavorable impact of future reductions to Medicare reimbursements resulting from the Budget Control Act of 2011, as discussed in the next bullet point below) and Medicaid (most states have reported significant budget deficits that have, in the past, resulted in the reduction of Medicaid funding to the operators of our facilities, including UHS); demographic changes; the ability to enter into managed care provider agreements on acceptable terms; an increase in uninsured and self-pay patients which unfavorably impacts the collectability of patient accounts; decreasing in-patient admission trends; technological and pharmaceutical improvements that may increase the cost of providing, or reduce the demand for, health care, and; the ability to attract and retain qualified medical personnel, including physicians.
The Budget Control Act of 2011 imposed annual spending limits for most federal agencies and programs aimed at reducing budget deficits by $917 billion between 2012 and 2021, according to a report released by the Congressional Budget Office. Among its other provisions, the law established a bipartisan Congressional committee, known as the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (the “Joint Committee”), which was tasked with making recommendations aimed at reducing future federal budget deficits by an additional $1.5 trillion over 10 years. The Joint Committee was unable to reach an agreement by the November 23, 2011 deadline and, as a result, across-the-board cuts to discretionary, national defense and Medicare spending were implemented on March 1, 2013 resulting in Medicare payment reductions of up to 2% per fiscal year with a uniform percentage reduction across all Medicare programs. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, enacted on November 2, 2015, continued the 2% reductions to Medicare reimbursement imposed under the Budget Control Act of 2011. Legislation suspended payment reductions through December 31, 2021 in exchange for extended cuts through 2030. Subsequent legislation extended the payment reduction suspension through March 31, 2022, with a 1% payment reduction from then

22


 

until June 30, 2022 and the full 2% payment reduction thereafter. The most recent legislation extended these reductions through 2032. We cannot predict whether Congress will restructure the implemented Medicare payment reductions or what other federal budget deficit reduction initiatives may be proposed by Congress going forward. We also cannot predict the effect these enactments will have on the operators of our properties (including UHS), and thus, our business.
An increasing number of legislative initiatives have been passed into law that may result in major changes in the health care delivery system on a national or state level. Legislation has already been enacted that has eliminated the penalty for failing to maintain health coverage that was part of the original Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”). President Biden has undertaken and is expected to undertake executive actions that will strengthen the ACA and may reverse the policies of the prior administration. To date, the Biden administration has issued executive orders implementing a special enrollment period permitting individuals to enroll in health plans outside of the annual open enrollment period and reexamining policies that may undermine the ACA or the Medicaid program. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021's expansion of subsidies to purchase coverage through an exchange, which the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, passed on August 16, 2022, continues through 2025, is anticipated to increase exchange enrollment. It is also anticipated that these policies, to the extent that they remain as implemented, may create additional cost and reimbursement pressures on hospitals, including ours. In addition, while attempts to repeal the entirety of the ACA have not been successful to date, a key provision of the ACA was eliminated as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and on December 14, 2018, a federal U.S. District Court Judge in Texas ruled the entire ACA is unconstitutional. That ruling was ultimately appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which decided in California v. Texas that the plaintiffs in the matter lacked standing to bring their constitutionality claims. On September 7, 2022, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively, the “Legislation”) faced its most recent challenge when a Texas Federal District Court judge, in the case of Braidwood Management v. Becerra, ruled that certain Legislation provisions violate the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The government has appealed the decision to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Any future efforts to challenge, replace or replace the Legislation or expand or substantially amend its provision is unknown.
There can be no assurance that if any of the announced or proposed changes described above are implemented there will not be negative financial impact on the operators of our hospitals, which material effects may include a potential decrease in the market for health care services or a decrease in the ability of the operators of our hospitals to receive reimbursement for health care services provided which could result in a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the operators of our properties, and, thus, our business.
Competition for properties include, but are not limited to, other REITs, private investors and firms, banks and other companies, including UHS. In addition, we may face competition from other REITs for our tenants.
The operators of our facilities face competition from other health care providers, including physician owned facilities and other competing facilities, including certain facilities operated by UHS but the real property of which is not owned by us. Such competition is experienced in markets including, but not limited to, McAllen, Texas, the site of our McAllen Medical Center, a 370-bed acute care hospital.
Changes in, or inadvertent violations of, tax laws and regulations and other factors that can affect REITs and our status as a REIT, including possible future changes to federal tax laws that could materially impact our ability to defer gains on divestitures through like-kind property exchanges.
The individual and collective impact of the changes made by the CARES Act on REITs and their security holders are uncertain and may not become evident for some period of time; it is also possible additional legislation could be enacted in the future as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which may affect the holders of our securities.
Should we be unable to comply with the strict income distribution requirements applicable to REITs, utilizing only cash generated by operating activities, we would be required to generate cash from other sources which could adversely affect our financial condition.
Our ownership interest in four LLCs/LPs in which we hold non-controlling equity interests. In addition, pursuant to the operating and/or partnership agreements of the four LLCs/LPs in which we continue to hold non-controlling ownership interests, the third-party member and the Trust, at any time, potentially subject to certain conditions, have the right to make an offer (“Offering Member”) to the other member(s) (“Non-Offering Member”) in which it either agrees to: (i) sell the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member to the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Sell”) at a price as determined by the Offering Member (“Transfer Price”), or; (ii) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Purchase”) at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The Non-Offering Member has 60 to 90 days to either: (i) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member at the Transfer Price, or; (ii) sell its entire ownership interest to the Offering Member at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The closing of the transfer must occur within 60 to 90 days of the acceptance by the Non-Offering Member.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates from those disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, net income was $5.3 million, as compared to $4.5 million during the first quarter of 2023. The $841,000 increase was attributable to:

an increase of $1.4 million resulting from an aggregate net increase in the income generated at various properties, including a reduction of $193,000 in the building expenses related to vacant facilities, one of which was demolished in 2023 and one of which was divested during the fourth quarter of 2023;
an increase of $265,000 from demolition expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2023 related to our property located in Chicago, Illinois, and;
a decrease of $850,000 resulting from an increase in interest expense due to increases in our average borrowing rate as well as our average outstanding borrowings.

Revenues increased $1.9 million, or 8.2%, to $25.1 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $23.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The increase during the first quarter of 2024, as compared to the first quarter of 2023, was primarily due to an aggregate net increase generated at various properties, including the increased revenues generated at a newly constructed MOB located in Reno, Nevada, that opened during the first quarter of 2023, and the revenues generated at an MOB located in McAllen, Texas, that was acquired during the third quarter of 2023.

A large portion of the expenses associated with our consolidated medical office buildings is passed on directly to the tenants either directly as tenant reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses or included in base rental amounts. Tenant reimbursements for operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred and are included as lease revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

Other operating expenses amounted to $6.7 million during the first quarter of 2024 and $6.4 million during the first quarter of 2023 (excluding $265,000 of demolition expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2023). Included in our other operating expenses (excluding ground lease expenses) are expenses related to the consolidated medical office buildings which included two vacant properties during the first quarter of 2024 and three vacant properties during the first quarter of 2023 (the divestiture of one of these vacant properties was completed during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the demolition of one of these vacant properties was substantially completed during the second quarter of 2023). Our operating expenses include approximately $184,000 and $339,000 of aggregate operating expenses related to the vacant properties during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as applicable.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a widely recognized measure of performance for Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”). We believe that FFO and FFO per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, are helpful to our investors as measures of our operating performance. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. FFO adjusts for the effects of certain items, such as gains on transactions that occurred during the periods presented. To the extent a REIT recognizes a gain or loss with respect to the sale of incidental assets, the REIT has the option to exclude or include such gains and losses in the calculation of FFO. We have opted to exclude gains and losses from sales of incidental assets in our calculation of FFO, if and when applicable. FFO does

24


 

not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) a measure of our liquidity, or; (iv) an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

Below is a reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

As disclosed below in Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk-Market Risks Associated with Financial Instruments, on December 1, 2023, we entered into a fourth interest rate swap with a notional amount of $25 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, net interest was paid to us from the counterparties pursuant to four interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $165 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net interest was paid to us from the counterparties pursuant to three interest rates swaps with a combined notional amount of $140 million.

Interest expense increased by $850,000 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the comparable period of 2023, due primarily to: (i) a $1.2 million increase in the interest expense on our revolving credit agreement primarily resulting from increases in our average cost of borrowings (6.96% average effective rate during the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 6.06% average effective rate during the comparable quarter of 2023) and in our average outstanding borrowings ($327.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $300.9 million in the comparable quarter of 2023); (ii) a $149,000 increase due to a decrease in capitalized interest on a major project that was substantially completed during the first quarter of 2023; (iii) a $50,000 net increase in other combined interest expenses, partially offset by; (iv) a $418,000 favorable change in interest rate swap income, and; (v) a $94,000 decrease in mortgage interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.7 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $10.1 million during the comparable period of 2023. The $1.7 million net increase was attributable to:

a favorable change of $1.1 million due to an increase in net income plus/minus the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities (depreciation and amortization, amortization related to above/below market leases, amortization of debt premium, as applicable, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation), as discussed above;
a favorable change of $397,000 in lease receivable;
a favorable change of $224,000 in accrued expenses and other liabilities;
a favorable change of $634,000 in accrued interest;
an unfavorable change of $238,000 in tenant reserves, deposits and deferred and prepaid rents, and;
other combined net unfavorable changes of $420,000.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $8.9 million during the first three months of 2024 as compared to $5.4 million during the first three months of 2023.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 we funded: (i) $5.9 million in equity investments in unconsolidated LLCs; (ii) $3.3 million in additions to real estate investments including construction costs related to the Sierra Medical Plaza I medical office building located in Reno, Nevada, that was substantially completed during the first quarter of 2023, as well as tenant improvements at various MOBs, and; (iii) $128,000 in an advance made to a third-party partner of an unconsolidated LLC. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received $371,000 of cash in excess of income from LLCs.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 we funded: (i) $5.0 million in additions to real estate investments including construction costs related to the Sierra Medical Plaza I medical office building located in Reno, Nevada, that was substantially completed during the first quarter of 2023, as well as tenant improvements at various MOBs; (ii) $3.9 million in equity investments in unconsolidated LLCs, and; (iii) $100,000 in deposits on real estate assets. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we received: (i) $64,000 of cash in excess of income from LLCs, and; (ii) $3.5 million of repayments of an advance we had provided to an unconsolidated LLC during 2021.

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $4.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, we paid: (i) $372,000 on mortgage notes payable that are non-recourse to us; (ii) $30,000 of financing costs related to the revolving credit agreement, and; (iii) $10.0 million of dividends. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received: (i) $7.1 million of net borrowings on our revolving credit agreement, and; (ii) $44,000 of net cash from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, we paid: (i) $4.6 million on mortgage notes payable that are non-recourse to us, including a $4.2 million repayment of a fixed rate mortgage loan that matured during the first quarter of 2023; (ii) $30,000 of financing costs related to the revolving credit agreement, and; (iii) $9.9 million of dividends. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we received: (i) $10.3 million of net borrowings on our revolving credit agreement, and; (ii) $39,000 of net cash from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest.

Additional cash flow and dividends paid information for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

As indicated on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, we generated net cash provided by operating activities of $11.7 million and $10.1 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As also indicated on our statement of cash flows, non-cash expenses including depreciation and amortization expense, amortization related to above/below market leases, amortization of debt premium, as applicable, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation expense, as well as changes in certain assets and liabilities, are the primary differences between our net income and net cash provided by operating activities during each period.

We declared and paid dividends of $10.0 million and $9.9 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the first three months of 2024, the $11.7 million of net cash provided by operating activities was approximately

27


 

$1.7 million greater than the $10.0 million of dividends paid during the first three months of 2024. During the first three months of 2023, the $10.1 million of net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $217,000 greater than the $9.9 million of dividends paid during the first three months of 2023.

As indicated in the cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities sections of the statements of cash flows, there were various other sources and uses of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. From time to time, various other sources and uses of cash may include items such as investments and advances made to/from LLCs, additions to real estate investments, acquisitions/divestiture of properties, net borrowings/repayments of debt, and proceeds generated from the issuance of equity. Therefore, in any given period, the funding source for our dividend payments is not wholly dependent on the operating cash flow generated by our properties. Rather, our dividends as well as our capital reinvestments into our existing properties, acquisitions of real property and other investments are funded based upon the aggregate net cash inflows or outflows from all sources and uses of cash from the properties we own either in whole or through LLCs, as outlined above.

In determining and monitoring our dividend level on a quarterly basis, our management and Board of Trustees consider many factors in determining the amount of dividends to be paid each period. These considerations primarily include: (i) the minimum required amount of dividends to be paid in order to maintain our REIT status; (ii) the current and projected operating results of our properties, including those owned in LLCs, and; (iii) our future capital commitments and debt repayments, including those of our LLCs. Based upon the information discussed above, as well as consideration of projections and forecasts of our future operating cash flows, management and the Board of Trustees have determined that our operating cash flows have been sufficient to fund our dividend payments. Future dividend levels will be determined based upon the factors outlined above with consideration given to our projected future results of operations.

We expect to finance all capital expenditures and acquisitions and pay dividends utilizing internally generated and additional funds. Additional funds may be obtained through: (i) borrowings under our $375 million revolving credit agreement (which had $41.3 million of available borrowing capacity, net of outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2024); (ii) borrowings under or refinancing of existing third-party debt pursuant to mortgage loan agreements entered into by our consolidated and unconsolidated LLCs/LPs; (iii) the issuance of equity, and/or; (iv) the issuance of other long-term debt. In April 2023 we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to which we many offer up to $100 million of securities pursuant to supplemental prospectuses which we may file from time to time.

We believe that our operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement and access to the capital markets provide us with sufficient capital resources to fund our operating, investing and financing requirements for the next twelve months, including providing sufficient capital to allow us to make distributions necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. In the event we need to access the capital markets or other sources of financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms or within an acceptable time. Our inability to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us could have a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Credit facilities and mortgage debt

Management routinely monitors and analyzes the Trust’s capital structure in an effort to maintain the targeted balance among capital resources including the level of borrowings pursuant to our revolving credit facility, the level of borrowings pursuant to non-recourse mortgage debt secured by the real property of our properties and our level of equity including consideration of equity issuances. This ongoing analysis considers factors such as the current debt market and interest rate environment, the current/projected occupancy and financial performance of our properties, the current loan-to-value ratio of our properties, the Trust’s current stock price, the capital resources required for anticipated acquisitions and the expected capital to be generated by anticipated divestitures. This analysis, together with consideration of the Trust’s current balance of revolving credit agreement borrowings, non-recourse mortgage borrowings and equity, assists management in deciding which capital resource to utilize when events such as refinancing of specific debt components occur or additional funds are required to finance the Trust’s growth.

On May 15, 2023 we entered into the first amendment to our amended and restated revolving credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") dated as of July 2, 2021 among the Trust as borrower, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The amendment replaced LIBOR with term SOFR plus .10% ("adjusted term SOFR") as an alternative benchmark rate under the Credit Agreement for settings of benchmark rates that occur on or after the closing date in accordance with the benchmark replacement provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

On July 2, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated Credit Agreement to amend and restate the previously existing $350 million credit agreement, as amended and dated June 5, 2020. Among other things, under the Credit Agreement, our aggregate revolving credit commitment was increased to $375 million from $350 million. The Credit Agreement, which is scheduled to mature on July 2, 2025, provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $375 million, including a $40 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $30 million sublimit for swingline/short-term loans. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we may request that the revolving line of credit be increased by up to an additional $50 million. Borrowings under the new facility are guaranteed by certain

28


 

subsidiaries of the Trust. In addition, borrowings under the new facility are secured by first priority security interests in and liens on all equity interests in most of the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, at adjusted term SOFR for either one, three, or six months or the Base Rate, plus in either case, a specified margin depending on our total leverage ratio, as determined by the formula set forth in the Credit Agreement. The applicable margin after the first amendment ranges from 1.10% to 1.35% for adjusted term SOFR loans and 0.10% to 0.35% for Base Rate loans. The Credit Agreement, as amended by the first amendment, defines “Base Rate” as the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) one month adjusted term SOFR plus 1%. The Trust will also pay a quarterly revolving facility fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% (depending on the Trust’s total leverage ratio) on the committed amount of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also provides for options to extend the maturity date and borrowing availability for two additional six-month periods.

The margins over adjusted term SOFR, Base Rate and the facility fee are based upon our total leverage ratio. At March 31, 2024, the applicable margin over the adjusted term SOFR rate was 1.20%, the margin over the Base Rate was 0.20% and the facility fee was 0.20%.

At March 31, 2024, we had $333.7 million of outstanding borrowings pursuant to the terms of our $375 million Credit Agreement. We had $41.3 million of available borrowing capacity, net of the outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2024. There are no compensating balance requirements. At December 31, 2023, we had $326.6 million of outstanding borrowings, $3.1 million of outstanding letters of credit and $45.3 million of available borrowing capacity.

In our consolidated statements of cash flows, we report cash flows pursuant to our Credit Agreement on a net basis. Aggregate borrowings under our Credit Agreement were $21.9 million and $19.8 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and aggregate repayments were $14.8 million and $9.5 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on certain indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and other investments, fundamental changes, asset dispositions and dividends and other distributions. The Credit Agreement also contains restrictive covenants regarding the Trust’s ratio of total debt to total assets, the fixed charge coverage ratio, the ratio of total secured debt to total asset value, the ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value, and minimum tangible net worth, as well as customary events of default, the occurrence of which may trigger an acceleration of amounts then outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We are in compliance with all of the covenants in the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2024, and were in compliance with all of the covenants of the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2023. We also believe that we would remain in compliance if, based on the assumption that the majority of the potential new borrowings will be used to fund investments, the full amount of our commitment was borrowed.

The following table includes a summary of the required compliance ratios, giving effect to the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement (dollar amounts in thousands):

Upon the April 10, 2024 maturity date, this loan was fully repaid utilizing borrowings under our Credit Agreement.

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had various mortgages, all of which were non-recourse to us, included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. The mortgages outstanding as of March 31, 2024, had a combined carrying value of approximately $32.7 million and a combined fair value of approximately $30.7 million. The mortgages outstanding as of December 31, 2023, had a combined carrying value of approximately $33.1 million and a combined fair value of approximately $31.2 million. Changes in market rates on our fixed rate debt impacts the fair value of debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

LIBOR Transition

In 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to phase out LIBOR and stop compelling banks to submit rates for its calculation. In 2021, the FCA further announced that effective January 1, 2022, the one week and two-month USD LIBOR tenors are no longer being published. Additionally, effective July 1, 2023 all other USD LIBOR tenors are no longer published.

The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. We are not able to predict how the markets will respond to SOFR or any other alternative reference rate as the transition away from LIBOR continues. Any changes adopted by FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

On May 15, 2023 we entered into the first amendment to our amended and restated revolving credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") dated as of July 2, 2021 among the Trust as borrower, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The amendment replaces LIBOR Rate with adjusted term SOFR as an alternative benchmark rate for purposes under the Credit Agreement for settings of benchmark rates the occur on or after the closing date in accordance with the benchmark replacement provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Financial Instruments

In December 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $25 million with a fixed interest rate of 3.9495% that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on December 1, 2023 and is scheduled to mature on December 1, 2027. If one-month term SOFR is above 3.9495%, the counterparty pays us, and if one-month term SOFR is less than 3.9495%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 3.9495% and one-month term SOFR.

In March 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $55 million with a fixed interest rate of 0.565% that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on March 25, 2020 and is scheduled to mature on March 25, 2027. On May 15, 2023, this interest rate swap agreement was modified to replace the benchmark rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. If one-month term SOFR is above 0.505%, the counterparty pays us, and if one-month term SOFR is less than 0.505%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 0.505% and one-month term SOFR.

In January 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $35 million with a fixed interest rate of 1.4975% that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on January 15, 2020 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024. On May 15, 2023, this interest rate swap agreement was modified to replace the benchmark rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. If the one-month term SOFR is above 1.41%, the counterparty pays us, and if the one-month term SOFR is less than 1.41%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 1.41% and one-month term SOFR.

During the third quarter of 2019, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $50 million with a fixed interest rate of 1.144% that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on September 16, 2019 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024. On May 15, 2023, this interest rate swap agreement was modified to replace the benchmark rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. If one-month term SOFR is above 1.064%, the counterparty pays us, and if one-month term SOFR is less than 1.064%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 1.064% and one-month term SOFR.

We measure our interest rate swaps at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is based on quotes from third parties. We consider those inputs to be “level 2” in the fair value hierarchy as outlined in the authoritative guidance for disclosures in connection with derivative instruments and hedging activities. At March 31, 2024, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was a net asset of $7.5 million which is included in deferred charges and other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2024, we received approximately $1.6 million from the counterparty, adjusted for the previous quarter accrual, pursuant to the terms of the swaps. During the first quarter of 2023, we received approximately $1.2 million from the counterparty, adjusted for the previous quarter accrual, pursuant to the terms of the swaps. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) within shareholders’ equity. Amounts are reclassified from AOCI to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged transaction affects earnings. We do not expect any gains or losses on our interest rate swaps to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months.

The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed and variable rate debt assumes current market rates with all other variables held constant. As of March 31, 2024, the fair value and carrying value of our debt is approximately $364.3 million and $366.3 million, respectively. As of that date, the carrying value exceeds the fair value by approximately $2.0 million.

The table below presents information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The interest rate swaps include the $50 million swap agreement entered into during the third quarter of 2019, the $35 million swap agreement entered into in January, 2020, the $55 million swap agreement entered into in March, 2020 and the $25 million swap agreement entered into in December, 2023. For debt obligations, the amounts of which are as of March 31, 2024, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by contractual maturity dates.

(b)
Consists of $333.7 million of outstanding borrowings under the terms of our $375 million revolving credit agreement which has a maturity date of July 2, 2025.
(c)
Includes: (i) a $50 million interest rate swap that became effective on September 16, 2019, which is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024; (ii) a $35 million interest rate swap that became effective on January 15, 2020, which is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024; (iii) a $55 million interest rate swap that became effective on March 25, 2020, which is scheduled to mature on March 25, 2027, and; (iv) a $25 million interest rate swap that became effective on December 1, 2023, which is scheduled to mature on December 1, 2027.

As calculated based upon our variable rate debt outstanding as of March 31, 2024 that is subject to interest rate fluctuations, and giving effect to the above-mentioned interest rate swap, each 1% change in interest rates would impact our net income by approximately $1.7 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2024, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Trust’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”).

Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management on a timely basis in order to comply with our disclosure obligations under the 1934 Act and the SEC rules thereunder.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. In this Quarterly Report, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Trust” refer to Universal Health Realty Income Trust and its subsidiaries.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the term “revenues” does not include the revenues of the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 95%. As of March 31, 2024, we had investments in four jointly-owned LLCs/LPs. We currently account for our share of the income/loss from these investments by the equity method (see Note 5).

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in our opinion, are necessary to fairly present results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

(2) Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and Related Party Transactions

Leases: We commenced operations in 1986 by purchasing certain properties from subsidiaries of UHS and immediately leasing the properties back to the respective subsidiaries. The base rentals and lease and renewal terms for each of the hospitals leased to subsidiaries of UHS as of March 31, 2024, are provided below. The base rents are paid monthly. The lease on McAllen Medical Center also provides for bonus rent which is paid quarterly based upon a computation that compares the hospital’s current quarter revenue to a corresponding quarter in the base year. The hospital leases with subsidiaries of UHS, with the exception of the lease on Clive Behavioral Health Hospital (which is operated by UHS in a joint venture with an unrelated third party), are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another. The lease for the Clive facility is guaranteed on a several basis by UHS (52%) and Catholic Health Initiatives-Iowa (48%).

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the three acute care and three behavioral health care hospital facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS at March 31, 2024, accounted for approximately 24% and 26% of our consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition to the six UHS hospital facilities, we have twenty-one properties consisting of medical/office buildings, (including one newly constructed medical office building ("MOB") that was substantially completed during the first quarter of 2023 and one MOB that was acquired during the third quarter of 2023), and FEDs that are either wholly or jointly-owned by us that include tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS. The aggregate revenues generated from UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 41% and 40% of our consolidated revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On December 31, 2021, we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates, which was amended during the first quarter of 2022, pursuant to the terms of which: (i) a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased from us, the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System located in Wildomar, California, at its fair market value of $79.6 million; (ii) two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS transferred to us, the real estate assets of Aiken Regional Medical Center, (“Aiken”), located in Aiken, South Carolina (which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion), at its fair-market value of approximately $57.7 million, and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”), located in Temple, Texas, at its fair-market value of approximately $26.0 million, and; (iii) we paid approximately $4.1 million in cash to UHS.

As a result of UHS’ purchase option within the lease agreements of Aiken and Canyon Creek, the transaction is accounted for as a failed sale leaseback in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the properties acquired by us in connection with the asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS, as amended, were accounted for as financing arrangements and our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include financing receivables related to this transaction of $83.2 million and $83.3 million, respectively.

Also on December 31, 2021, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases as amended, (with us as lessor), for initial lease terms on each property of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. Subject to the terms of the master lease, Aiken and Canyon Creek have the right to renew their leases, at the then current fair market rent (as defined in the master lease), for seven, five-year optional renewal terms. Pursuant to the leases, as amended during the first quarter of 2022, the

aggregate annual rental rate during 2024 on the acquired properties, which is payable to us on a monthly basis, is approximately $5.9 million ($4.1 million related to Aiken and $1.8 million related to Canyon Creek). The portion of the lease payments that is included in our consolidated statements of income, and reflected as interest income on financing leases, was approximately $1.4 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. There is no bonus rental component applicable to either of these leases.

Pursuant to the terms of the master leases by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 and December 31, 2021 (the “Master Leases”), which govern the leases of McAllen Medical Center, Wellington Regional Medical Center (governed by the Master Lease dated December 24, 1986), Aiken Regional Medical Center and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (governed by the Master Lease dated December 31, 2021, as amended), all of which are hospital properties that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the option, among other things, to renew the leases at the lease terms described below by providing notice to us at least 90 days prior to the termination of the then current term. UHS also has the right to purchase the respective leased facilities from us at their appraised fair market value upon any of the following: (i) at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms; (ii) upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, or; (iii) within the time period as specified in the leases in the event that UHS provides notice to us of their intent to offer a substitution property/properties in exchange for one (or more) of the four wholly-owned UHS hospital facilities leased from us, should we be unable to reach an agreement with UHS on the properties to be substituted. Additionally, UHS has rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for a specified period after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for a specified period after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer.

In addition, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS is the managing, majority member in a joint-venture with an unrelated third-party that operates, and leases from us, Clive Behavioral Health. This 100-bed behavioral health care facility is located in Clive, Iowa and was completed and opened in late December, 2020 and the hospital lease commenced on December 31, 2020. The lease on this facility is triple net and has an initial term of 20 years with five 10-year renewal options. On each January 1st through 2040 (and potentially through 2070 if the first three of five, 10-year renewal options are exercised), the annual rental will increase by 2.75% on a cumulative and compounded basis. The first three of the five 10-year renewal options will provide for annual rental as stipulated in the lease (2041 through 2070) and the two additional 10-year lease renewal options will be at fair market value lease rates (2071 through 2090). Pursuant to the lease on this facility, the joint venture has the option to, among other things, renew the lease at the terms specified in the lease agreement by providing notice to us at least 270 days prior to the termination of the then current term. The joint venture also has the right to purchase the leased facility from us at its appraised fair market value upon either of the following: (i) by providing notice at least 270 days prior to the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms, or; (ii) upon 30 days’ notice anytime within 12 months of a change of control of the Trust (UHS also has this right should the joint venture decline to exercise its purchase right). Additionally, the joint venture has rights of first offer to purchase the facility prior to any third-party sale.

The table below details the existing lease terms and renewal options for each of the hospital leases that are related to UHS as of March 31, 2024, consisting of three acute care hospitals and three behavioral health hospitals:

UHS has seven 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2034 through 2068). The annual rental rate will increase by 2.25% on a cumulative and compounded basis on each January 1st through 2033.
(d)
The UHS-related joint venture has five 10-year renewal options; the first three of the five 10-year renewal options will be at computed lease rates as stipulated in the lease (2041 through 2070) and the last two 10-year renewal options will be at fair market lease rates (2071 through 2090). On each January 1st through 2040 (and potentially through 2070 if the first three of five, 10-year renewal options are exercised), the annual rental will increase by 2.75% on a cumulative and compounded basis.

Upon the December 31, 2021 expiration of the lease on Wellington Regional Medical Center located in West Palm Beach, Florida, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS exercised its fair market value renewal option and renewed the lease for a 5-year term scheduled to expire on December 31, 2026. Effective January 1, 2024, the annual lease rate for this hospital, which is payable to us monthly, is $6.6 million and on each January 1st thereafter through 2026, the annual rent will increase by 2.50% on a cumulative and compounded basis (there is no bonus rental component of the lease payment).

Management cannot predict whether the leases with wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, which have renewal options at existing lease rates or fair market value lease rates, or any of our other leases, will be renewed at the end of their lease term. If the leases are not renewed at their current rates or the fair market value lease rates, we would be required to find other operators for those facilities and/or enter into leases on terms potentially less favorable to us than the current leases. In addition, if subsidiaries of UHS exercise their options to purchase the respective leased hospital or FED facilities upon expiration of the lease terms, our future revenues could decrease if we were unable to earn a favorable rate of return on the sale proceeds received, as compared to the rental revenue currently earned pursuant to these leases.

During the third quarter of 2023, we acquired the McAllen Doctor's Center, an MOB located in McAllen, Texas for a purchase price of approximately $7.6 million, including transaction costs. The building has approximately 79,500 rentable square feet and is 100% master leased to McAllen Hospitals, L.P, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. The triple-net master lease is for twelve years scheduled to expire on August 31, 2035. McAllen Hospitals, L.P. has the option to renew the lease term for three consecutive ten-year terms. The initial annual base rent is approximately $624,000.

During the first quarter of 2023, construction was substantially completed on Sierra Medical Plaza I, a multi-tenant MOB located in Reno, Nevada, consisting of approximately 86,000 rentable square feet. This MOB is located on the campus of the Northern Nevada Sierra Medical Center, a newly constructed acute care hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which was completed and opened during April of 2022. The cost of the MOB is estimated to be approximately $35 million, approximately $29 million of which was incurred as of March 31, 2024. In connection with this MOB, we entered into a ground lease and master flex-lease agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. The master flex lease agreement has a ten-year term scheduled to expire on March 31, 2033, and covers approximately 68% of the rentable square feet of the MOB at an initial minimum rent of $1.3 million annually plus a pro-rata share of the common area maintenance expenses. The master flex-lease is subject to a reduction during the term based upon the execution of third-party leases. The ground lease and the master flex lease each commenced during March, 2023.

We are the lessee on thirteen ground leases with subsidiaries of UHS (for consolidated and unconsolidated investments), including one that commenced in March, 2023. The remaining lease terms on the ground leases with subsidiaries of UHS range from approximately 25 years to approximately 74 years. The annual aggregate lease payments on these properties are approximately $571,000 during each of the years ended 2024 through 2028, and an aggregate of $31.3 million thereafter. See Note 7 for additional lease accounting disclosure.

Officers and Employees: Our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and although as of March 31, 2024 we had no salaried employees, our officers do typically receive annual stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock. In special circumstances, if warranted and deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, our officers may also receive one-time special compensation awards in the form of restricted stock and/or cash bonuses.

Advisory Agreement: UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to us under an advisory agreement dated December 24, 1986, and as amended and restated as of January 1, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. All transactions between us and UHS must be approved by the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS (the “Independent Trustees”). In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees, that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement was renewed for 2024 with the same terms as the Advisory Agreement in place during 2023 and 2022.

Our advisory fee for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was computed at 0.70% of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses, as compared to an industry peer group, the advisory fee computation remained unchanged for 2024 as compared to 2023 and 2022. The average real estate assets for advisory fee calculation purposes exclude certain items from our condensed consolidated balance sheet such as, among other things, accumulated depreciation, cash and cash equivalents, lease receivables, deferred charges and other assets. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year-end based upon our audited financial statements. Advisory fees incurred and paid (or payable) to UHS amounted to approximately $1.3 million for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and were based upon average invested real estate assets of $765 million and $744 million, respectively.

Share Ownership: As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, UHS owned 5.7% of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest.

SEC reporting requirements of UHS: UHS is subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC and is required to file annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. Since the aggregate revenues generated from the UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 41% and 40% of our consolidated revenues during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and since a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor, you are encouraged to obtain the

publicly available filings for Universal Health Services, Inc. from the SEC’s website. These filings are the sole responsibility of UHS and are not incorporated by reference herein.

In January 2022, we entered into a ground lease and master flex-lease agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS to develop, construct and own the real property of Sierra Medical Plaza I, an MOB located in Reno, Nevada, consisting of approximately 86,000 rentable square feet. This MOB is located on the campus of the Northern Nevada Sierra Medical Center, a hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which was completed and opened during April of 2022. Construction of this MOB, for which we engaged a non-related third party to act as construction manager, commenced in January, 2022, and was substantially completed in March, 2023. The master flex lease agreement in connection with this building, which commenced in March, 2023 and has a ten-year term scheduled to expire on March 31, 2033, covers approximately 68% of the rentable square feet of the MOB at an initial minimum rent of $1.3 million annually, plus pro-rata share of the common area maintenance expenses. This master flex lease agreement is subject to reduction based upon the execution of third-party leases. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the ground lease for this property commenced and a right-of-use asset and lease liability was recorded in connection with this lease. The cost of the MOB is estimated to be approximately $35 million, approximately $29 million of which was incurred as of March 31, 2024.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]  
Summarized Financial Information of Equity Affiliates

(5) Summarized Financial Information of Equity Affiliates

In accordance with U.S. GAAP and guidance relating to accounting for investments and real estate ventures, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs/LPs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. The third-party members in these investments have equal voting rights with regards to issues such as, but not limited to: (i) divestiture of property; (ii) annual budget approval, and; (iii) financing commitments. These investments, which represent 33% to 95% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to, and distributions from, the investments. Pursuant to certain agreements, allocations of sales proceeds and profits and losses of some of the LLC investments may be allocated disproportionately as compared to ownership interests after specified preferred return rate thresholds have been satisfied.

Distributions received from equity method investees in the consolidated statements of cash flows are classified based upon the nature of the distribution. Returns on investments are presented net of equity in income from unconsolidated investments as cash flows from operating activities. Returns of investments are classified as cash flows from investing activities.

At March 31, 2024, we have non-controlling equity investments or commitments in four jointly-owned LLCs/LPs which own MOBs. As of March 31, 2024 we accounted for these LLCs/LPs on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since they are not variable interest entities which we are the primary beneficiary nor do we have a controlling voting interest. The majority of these entities are joint-ventures between us and non-related parties that hold minority ownership interests in the entities. Each entity is generally self-sustained from a cash flow perspective and generates sufficient cash flow to meet its operating cash flow requirements and service the third-party debt (if applicable) that is non-recourse to us. Although there is typically no ongoing financial support required from us to these entities since they are cash-flow sufficient, we may, from time to time, provide funding for certain purposes such as, but not limited to, significant capital expenditures, leasehold improvements and debt financing. Although we are not obligated to do so, if approved by us at our sole discretion, additional cash funding is typically advanced as equity or member loans. These entities maintain property insurance on the properties.

The following property table represents the four LLCs/LPs in which we owned a non-controlling interest and were accounted for under the equity method as of March 31, 2024:

(a.)
This LLC has a third-party term loan of $8.4 million, which is non-recourse to us, outstanding as of March 31, 2024.
(b.)
We are the lessee with a third party on a ground lease for land.
(c.)
During the first quarter of 2021, this LP paid off its $4.7 million mortgage loan upon maturity, utilizing pro rata equity contributions from the limited partners as well as a $3.5 million member loan from us to the LP which was funded utilizing borrowings from our revolving credit agreement. During the first quarter of 2023, the LP repaid $175,000 of the member loan and the remaining $3.3 million member loan balance was converted to an equity investment in the LP.
(d.)
This LP constructed, owns and operates the Texoma Medical Plaza II, on which construction substantially completed in December 2020. The MOB is located in Denison, Texas, on the campus of a hospital owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. We have committed to invest up to $10.2 million in equity and debt financing, $7.6 million of which has been funded as of March 31, 2024. This LP entered into a third-party construction loan commitment, which is non-recourse to us, which had an outstanding balance of $7.0 million as of March 31, 2024. Monthly principal and interest payments on this loan commenced on January 1, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, $5.7 million of the third-party construction loan was repaid utilizing pro rata equity contributions from the partners. The third-party partner's share of the pro rata equity contributions was partially funded with a six-month, $128,000 partner loan from us. Our share of the pro rata equity contributions, as well as the third-party partner loan, were funded utilizing borrowings from our revolving credit agreement. As a result of the repayment of a portion of the construction loan, an associated $3.1 million letter of credit was terminated.
(e.)
We are the lessee with a UHS-related party for the land related to this property.

Pursuant to the operating and/or partnership agreements of the four LLCs/LPs in which we continue to hold non-controlling ownership interests, the third-party member and the Trust, at any time, potentially subject to certain conditions, have the right to make an offer (“Offering Member”) to the other member(s) (“Non-Offering Member”) in which it either agrees to: (i) sell the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member to the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Sell”) at a price as determined by the Offering Member (“Transfer Price”), or; (ii) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Purchase”) at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The Non-Offering Member has 60 to 90 days to either: (i) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member at the Transfer Price, or; (ii) sell its entire ownership interest to the Offering Member at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The closing of the transfer must occur within 60 to 90 days of the acceptance by the Non-Offering Member.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 848, “Reference Rate Reform.” The amendments in this update contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASC 848 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU 2022-06”) which was issued to defer the sunset date of Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate

Reform to December 31, 2024. ASU 2022-06 is effective immediately for all companies. ASU 2022-06 has no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Lease Accounting

(7) Lease Accounting

As Lessor:

We lease most of our operating properties to customers under agreements that are typically classified as operating leases (as noted below, two of our leases are accounted for as financing arrangements effective on December 31, 2021). We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, under the terms of our leases, the majority of our rental expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance are recovered from our customers. We record amounts reimbursed by customers in the period that the applicable expenses are incurred, which is generally ratably throughout the term of the lease. We have elected the package of practical expedients that allows lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset. This practical expedient allowed us to not separate expenses reimbursed by our customers (“tenant reimbursements”) from the associated rental revenue if certain criteria were met. We assessed these criteria and concluded that the timing and pattern of transfer for rental revenue and the associated tenant reimbursements are the same, and for the leases that qualify as operating leases, we accounted for and presented rental revenue and tenant reimbursements as a single component under Lease revenue in our consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

On December 31, 2021, as a result of the asset purchase and sale transaction with UHS, as amended during the first quarter of 2022, the real estate assets of two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS were transferred to us (Aiken and Canyon Creek). As discussed in Note 2, these assets are accounted for as financing arrangements and our consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 reflect financing receivables related to this transaction amounting to $83.2 million and $83.3 million, respectively. Pursuant to the leases, as amended during the first quarter of 2022, the aggregate annual rental during 2024 on the acquired properties, which is payable to us on a monthly basis, amounts to approximately $5.9 million ($4.1 million related to Aiken and $1.8 million related to Canyon Creek). The portion of these lease payments that will be included in our consolidated statements of income, and reflected as interest income on financing leases, is expected to be approximately $5.4 million during the full year of 2024. Lease revenue will not be impacted by the lease payments received related to these two properties.

The components of the “Lease revenue – UHS facilities” and “Lease revenue – Non-related parties” captions for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are disaggregated below (in thousands). Base rents are primarily stated rent amounts provided for under the leases that are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Bonus rents and tenant reimbursements represent amounts where tenants are contractually obligated to pay an amount that is variable in nature.

Disclosures Related to Certain Hospital Facilities:

Vacant Specialty Facility and Land:

Chicago, Illinois - Land:

Demolition of the former specialty hospital located in Chicago, Illinois, was completed during 2023. The aggregate demolition expenses amounted to approximately $1.5 million, (approximately $1.1 million of which were incurred during the first and second quarters of 2023 and $332,000 of which were incurred during the fourth quarter of 2022). The operating expenses incurred by us in connection with this property were $95,000 during the first quarter of 2024 and $417,000 during the first quarter of 2023 (or $152,000 excluding the $265,000 of demolition costs incurred during the first quarter of 2023). The lease on this facility expired on December 31, 2021.

Evansville, Indiana - Facility:

The lease on the specialty facility, located in Evansville, Indiana, expired during 2019 and the facility has been vacant since that time. The operating expenses incurred by us in connection with this facility were approximately $83,000 and $103,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We continue to market the two above-mentioned properties to third parties. Future operating expenses related to these properties will be incurred by us during the time they remain owned and unleased.

As Lessee:

We are the lessee with various third parties, including subsidiaries of UHS, in connection with ground leases for land at fifteen of our consolidated properties. Our right-of-use land assets represent our right to use the land for the lease term and our lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recognized upon adoption of Topic 842 based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We utilized our estimated incremental borrowing rate, which was derived from information available as of January 1, 2019, or the commencement date of the ground lease, whichever is later, in determining the present value of lease payments for active leases on that date. A right-of-use asset and lease liability are not recognized for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, as these short-term leases are accounted for similarly to previous guidance for operating leases. We do not currently have any ground leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. As of March 31, 2024, our condensed consolidated balance sheet includes right-of-use land assets of approximately $10.9 million and ground lease liabilities of approximately $10.9 million. During the first quarter of 2023, the ground lease for the newly constructed and substantially completed Sierra Medical Plaza I commenced and a right-of-use asset and lease liability was recorded in connection with this lease.

Debt and Financial Instruments

(8) Debt and Financial Instruments

Debt:

Management routinely monitors and analyzes the Trust’s capital structure in an effort to maintain the targeted balance among capital resources including the level of borrowings pursuant to our revolving credit facility, the level of borrowings pursuant to non-recourse mortgage debt secured by the real property of our properties and our level of equity including consideration of equity issuances. This ongoing analysis considers factors such as the current debt market and interest rate environment, the current/projected occupancy and financial performance of our properties, the current loan-to-value ratio of our properties, the Trust’s current stock price, the capital resources required for anticipated acquisitions and the expected capital to be generated by anticipated divestitures. This analysis, together with consideration of the Trust’s current balance of revolving credit agreement borrowings, non-recourse mortgage borrowings and equity, assists management in deciding which capital resource to utilize when events such as refinancing of specific debt components occur or additional funds are required to finance the Trust’s growth.

On May 15, 2023 we entered into the first amendment to our amended and restated revolving credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") dated as of July 2, 2021 among the Trust as borrower, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The amendment replaced LIBOR with term SOFR plus .10% ("adjusted term SOFR") as an alternative benchmark rate under the Credit Agreement for settings of benchmark rates that occur on or after the closing date in accordance with the benchmark replacement provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

On July 2, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated Credit Agreement to amend and restate the previously existing $350 million credit agreement, as amended and dated June 5, 2020. Among other things, under the Credit Agreement, our aggregate revolving credit commitment was increased to $375 million from $350 million. The Credit Agreement, which is scheduled to mature on July 2, 2025, provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $375 million, including a $40 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $30 million sublimit for swingline/short-term loans. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we may request that the revolving line of credit be increased by up to an additional $50 million. Borrowings under the new facility are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Trust. In addition, borrowings under the new facility are secured by first priority security interests in and liens on all equity interests in most of the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, at adjusted term SOFR for either one, three, or six months or the Base Rate, plus in either case, a specified margin depending on our total leverage ratio, as determined by the formula set forth in the Credit Agreement. The applicable margin after the first amendment ranges from 1.10% to 1.35% for adjusted term SOFR loans and 0.10% to 0.35% for Base Rate loans. The Credit Agreement, as amended by the first amendment, defines “Base Rate” as the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) one month adjusted term SOFR plus 1%. The Trust will also pay a quarterly revolving facility fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% (depending on the Trust’s total leverage ratio) on the committed amount of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also provides for options to extend the maturity date and borrowing availability for two additional six-month periods.

The margins over adjusted term SOFR, Base Rate and the facility fee are based upon our total leverage ratio. At March 31, 2024, the applicable margin over the adjusted term SOFR rate was 1.20%, the margin over the Base Rate was 0.20% and the facility fee was 0.20%.

At March 31, 2024, we had $333.7 million of outstanding borrowings pursuant to the terms of our $375 million Credit Agreement. We had $41.3 million of available borrowing capacity, net of the outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2024. There are no compensating balance requirements. At December 31, 2023, we had $326.6 million of outstanding borrowings, $3.1 million of outstanding letters of credit and $45.3 million of available borrowing capacity.

In our consolidated statements of cash flows, we report cash flows pursuant to our Credit Agreement on a net basis. Aggregate borrowings under our Credit Agreement were $21.9 million and $19.8 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and aggregate repayments were $14.8 million and $9.5 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on certain indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and other investments, fundamental changes, asset dispositions and dividends and other distributions. The Credit Agreement also contains restrictive covenants regarding the Trust’s ratio of total debt to total assets, the fixed charge coverage ratio, the ratio of total secured debt to total asset value, the ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value, and minimum tangible net worth, as well as customary events of default, the occurrence of which may trigger an acceleration of amounts then outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We are in compliance with all of the covenants in the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2024, and were in compliance with all of the covenants of the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2023. We also believe that we would remain in compliance if, based on the assumption that the majority of the potential new borrowings will be used to fund investments, the full amount of our commitment was borrowed.

The following table includes a summary of the required compliance ratios, giving effect to the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement (dollar amounts in thousands):

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had various mortgages, all of which were non-recourse to us, included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. The mortgages outstanding as of March 31, 2024, had a combined carrying value of approximately $32.7 million and a combined fair value of approximately $30.7 million. The mortgages outstanding as of December 31, 2023, had a combined carrying value of approximately $33.1 million and a combined fair value of approximately $31.2 million. The fair value of our debt was computed based upon quotes received from financial institutions. We consider these to be “level 2” in the fair value hierarchy as outlined in the authoritative guidance for disclosure in connection with debt instruments. Changes in market rates on our fixed rate debt impacts the fair value of debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow.

Financial Instruments:

In December 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $25 million with a fixed interest rate of 3.9495% that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on December 1, 2023 and is scheduled to mature on December 1, 2027. If one-month term SOFR is above 3.9495%, the counterparty pays us, and if one-month term SOFR is less than 3.9495%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 3.9495% and one-month term SOFR.

In March 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $55 million with a fixed interest rate of 0.565% that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on March 25, 2020 and is scheduled to mature on March 25, 2027. On May 15, 2023, this interest rate swap agreement was modified to replace the benchmark rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. If one-month term SOFR is above 0.505%, the counterparty pays us, and if one-month term SOFR is less than 0.505%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 0.505% and one-month term SOFR.

In January 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $35 million with a fixed interest rate of 1.4975% that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on January 15, 2020 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024. On May 15, 2023, this interest rate swap agreement was modified to replace the benchmark rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. If the one-month term SOFR is above 1.41%, the counterparty pays us, and if the one-month term SOFR is less than 1.41%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 1.41% and one-month term SOFR.

During the third quarter of 2019, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $50 million with a fixed interest rate of 1.144% that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on September 16, 2019 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024. On May 15, 2023, this interest rate swap agreement was modified to replace the benchmark rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. If one-month term SOFR is above 1.064%, the counterparty pays us, and if one-month term SOFR is less than 1.064%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 1.064% and one-month term SOFR.

We measure our interest rate swaps at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is based on quotes from third parties. We consider those inputs to be “level 2” in the fair value hierarchy as outlined in the authoritative guidance for disclosures in connection with derivative instruments and hedging activities. At March 31, 2024, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was a net asset of $7.5 million which is included in deferred charges and other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2024, we received approximately $1.6 million from the counterparty, adjusted for the previous quarter accrual, pursuant to the terms of the swaps. During the first quarter of 2023, we received approximately $1.2 million from the counterparty, adjusted for the previous quarter accrual, pursuant to the terms of the swaps. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) within shareholders’ equity. Amounts are reclassified from AOCI to the income

statement in the period or periods the hedged transaction affects earnings. We do not expect any gains or losses on our interest rate swaps to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months.

(9) Segment Reporting

Our primary business is investing in and leasing healthcare and human service facilities through direct ownership or through joint ventures, which aggregate into a single reportable segment. We actively manage our portfolio of healthcare and human service facilities and may from time to time make decisions to sell lower performing properties not meeting our long-term investment objectives. The proceeds of sales are typically reinvested in new developments or acquisitions, which we believe will meet our planned rate of return. It is our intent that all healthcare and human service facilities will be owned or developed for investment purposes. Our revenue and net income are generated from the operation of our investment portfolio.

Our portfolio is located throughout the United States, however, we do not distinguish or group our operations on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or measuring performance. We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore, we define an operating segment as our individual properties. Individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature and economics of the facilities, tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term average financial performance. No individual property meets the requirements necessary to be considered its own segment.

This LLC has a third-party term loan of $8.4 million, which is non-recourse to us, outstanding as of March 31, 2024.
(b.)
We are the lessee with a third party on a ground lease for land.
(c.)
During the first quarter of 2021, this LP paid off its $4.7 million mortgage loan upon maturity, utilizing pro rata equity contributions from the limited partners as well as a $3.5 million member loan from us to the LP which was funded utilizing borrowings from our revolving credit agreement. During the first quarter of 2023, the LP repaid $175,000 of the member loan and the remaining $3.3 million member loan balance was converted to an equity investment in the LP.
(d.)
This LP constructed, owns and operates the Texoma Medical Plaza II, on which construction substantially completed in December 2020. The MOB is located in Denison, Texas, on the campus of a hospital owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. We have committed to invest up to $10.2 million in equity and debt financing, $7.6 million of which has been funded as of March 31, 2024. This LP entered into a third-party construction loan commitment, which is non-recourse to us, which had an outstanding balance of $7.0 million as of March 31, 2024. Monthly principal and interest payments on this loan commenced on January 1, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, $5.7 million of the third-party construction loan was repaid utilizing pro rata equity contributions from the partners. The third-party partner's share of the pro rata equity contributions was partially funded with a six-month, $128,000 partner loan from us. Our share of the pro rata equity contributions, as well as the third-party partner loan, were funded utilizing borrowings from our revolving credit agreement. As a result of the repayment of a portion of the construction loan, an associated $3.1 million letter of credit was terminated.
(e.)
We are the lessee with a UHS-related party for the land related to this property.
