A substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator, UHS, which comprised approximately 41% of our consolidated revenues for each of the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. 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.

Previous wording
The increase in interest rates has significantly increased our interest expense thereby reducing our net income, cash provided by operating activities and funds from operations, as well as unfavorably impacting our ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms. Additionally, as discussed below in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Other Operating Results-Interest Expense, our aggregate interest expense during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, was favorably impacted by four interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $165 million, while our aggregate interest expense during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, was favorably impacted by three interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $140 million. Two of these interest rate swaps, with a combined notional amount of $85 million, are scheduled to expire on September 16, 2024. As discussed herein, although we can provide no assurance we will ultimately do so, at a future date in 2024, we are considering replacing the two interest rate swaps that are scheduled to expire in September, 2024, with either interest rate swaps and/or interest rate cap agreements on a total notional amount of up to $85 million. The increased interest rates on our borrowings and/or the increased costs related to new construction could also affect our ability to make additional attractive investments. Given these factors, increased interest rates, including the unfavorable impact on the terms of future interest rate swap and/or cap agreements, could unfavorably impact our future rental revenue and expenses, including interest expense, and may potentially have a material unfavorable impact on our future net income, cash provided by operating activities, funds from operations, lease renewal terms, the underlying value of our properties, our ability to grow our portfolio, and the value of our common shares.

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 condensed 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.

Previous wording
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 executive actions that will strengthen the ACA. 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 decision was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which on June 21, 2024 affirmed the District Court’s ruling regarding preventive services recommended by United States Preventive Services Task Force being unconstitutional. However, the Fifth Circuit overturned the nationwide injunction imposed by the District Court, preserving access to the majority of preventive services in dispute for now. The matter is expected to be the subject of additional litigation, having been remanded in part to the District Court. Any future efforts to challenge, replace or replace the Legislation or expand or substantially amend its provision is unknown.
