Note
- Stock Awards
During the second quarter of 2022, we amended the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of common stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and awards of interests in our Operating Partnership. Our Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and we have reserved 28.9 million shares of common stock for awards, of which 10.3 million shares remain available for future stock awards as of March 31, 2025. Share-based compensation expense totaled $17.7 million and $7.6 million for thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Of this expense, $11.9 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, is from the 2024 performance award grants that contain cash-settlement features and are marked to fair value quarterly. None of the 2024 performance award has been earned or vested at March 31, 2025, and will not begin to earn/vest until our stock price reaches $7.00 for 20 consecutive days.
- Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We have various assets and liabilities that are considered financial instruments. We estimate that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values. We estimate the fair value of our interest and rent receivables using Level 2 inputs such as discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates at which similar receivables would be made to others with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The fair value of our mortgage loans and other loans are estimated by using Level 2 inputs such as discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. We determine the fair value of our senior notes using Level 2 inputs such as quotes from securities dealers and market makers. We estimate the fair value of our revolving credit facility and term loans using Level 2 inputs based on the present value of future payments, discounted at a rate which we consider appropriate for such debt.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, are subjective in nature, and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Settlement of such fair value amounts may not be a prudent management decision.
The following table summarizes fair value estimates for our financial instruments (in thousands):

Excludes the convertible loan made in May 2023 to PHP Holdings and the acquisition loan made in May 2020 related to our investment in the international joint venture, along with the related subsequent investment in the real estate ofthree hospitals in Colombia, as these assets are accounted for under the fair value option method, as noted below.

Includes $14.0 million and $7.9 million of mortgage loans, a $329.7 million and $315.5 million shareholder loan included in investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, $40.7 million and $39.7 million of loans that are part of our investments in unconsolidated operating entities, and $122.2 million and $104.0 million of other loans at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Our equity investment and related loan to the international joint venture, our loan investment in the real estate ofthree hospitals operated by subsidiaries of the international joint venture in Colombia, and our investment in PHP Holdings are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as we elected to account for these investments using the fair value option at the point of initial investment. We elected to account for these investments at fair value due to the size of the investments and because we believed this method was more reflective of current values.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amounts recorded under the fair value option method were as follows (in thousands):
| As of March 31, 2025 · As of December 31, 2024 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asset (Liability) | Fair Value | Original Cost | Fair Value | Original Cost | Asset Type Classification |
| Mortgage loans | $107,484 | $136,868 | $111,985 | $129,968 | Mortgage loans |
| Equity investment and other loans | 136,017 | 911,789 | 154,229 | 910,594 | Investments in unconsolidated operating entities/Other loans |
Our loans to the international joint venture and its subsidiaries are recorded at fair value by discounting the estimated future contractual cash flows using a credit-adjusted rate of return, which is derived from market rates of return on similar loans with similar credit quality and remaining maturity. Our equity investment in the international joint venture and our investment in PHP Holdings are recorded at fair value by using a market approach (for our equity investment in the international joint venture) and a market approach based on the agreed upon price in the pending transaction (for our investment in PHP Holdings), which requires significant estimates of our investee, such as projected revenue, expenses, and working capital, and appropriate consideration of the underlying risk profile of the forecasted assumptions associated with the investee. We classify our valuations of these investments as Level 3, as we use certain unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the fair value measurement, and the valuations require management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices. For the market approach model used for our investment in PHP
Holdings, our unobservable inputs include purchase price adjustments related to expected balance sheet values at the time of the transaction close, and an adjustment for a marketability discount ("DLOM"). In regard to the underlying projections used in the discounted cash flow model, such projections are provided by the investees. However, we may modify such projections as needed based on our review and analysis of historical results, meetings with key members of management, and our understanding of trends and developments within the healthcare industry.
In the first three months of 2025, we recorded a net unfavorable adjustment to the investments accounted for under the fair value option method of approximately $30 million, primarily related to our investment inthree hospitals in Colombia and our investment in PHP Holdings as further discussed in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. In the first three months of 2024, we recorded a net unfavorable adjustment to the investments accounted for under the fair value option method of approximately $430 million, primarily related to the loan to the international joint venture of $225 million (see further discussion below under "Impairment and Fair Value Adjustments of Non-Real Estate Investments") and our investment in PHP Holdings of $201 million.
For our investment in PHP Holdings, the DLOM was approximately 11% at March 31, 2025, compared to 14.2% at December 31, 2024.
In arriving at the DLOM, we considered many qualitative factors, including the percent of control, the nature of the underlying investee's business along with our rights as an investor pursuant to the operating agreement, the size of investment, expected holding period, number of shareholders, access to capital marketplace, etc. To illustrate the effect of movements in the DLOM, we performed a sensitivity analysis below by using full basis point variations (in thousands):
| Basis Point Change in Marketability Discount | EstimatedIncrease(Decrease)In Fair Value |
|---|---|
| +100 basis points | $(1,471) |
| - 100 basis points | 1,471 |
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we have assets and liabilities that are measured, from time-to-time, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as for impairment purposes of our real estate, financial instruments, and for certain equity investments without a readily determinable fair value.
Impairment and Fair Value Adjustments of Non-Real Estate Investments
Prior to the global settlement in September 2024 (as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) in which our claims were released, our non-real estate investments in Steward and related affiliates included our 9.9% equity investment, working capital and other secured loans, and a loan made to a Steward affiliate in 2021, proceeds of which were used to redeem a similarly sized convertible loan held by Steward’s former private equity sponsor. In addition, the loan to the international joint venture was collateralized by the equity of Steward held by an investor in both Steward and the international joint venture. To assess recovery of these investments in the 2024 first quarter, we performed a valuation of Steward’s business at March 31, 2024, with assistance from a third-party, independent valuation firm. The valuation utilized the cost, market, and income approaches. The fair value analysis was performed under a non-going concern, orderly liquidation premise of value and assumed normal exposure to market participants at that time. We utilized this premise of value due to Steward’s financial distress and subsequent filing of bankruptcy. The valuation approaches used Level 3 inputs, and such approaches were based on the financial performance of the Steward assets. For profitable hospitals, Level 3 inputs included a weighted average EBITDA multiple of 6.48x from a selected range of 5x to 7x in reference to comparable transactions. We also used a weighted average discount rate of 15.03% from a selected range of 15% to 16%. For unprofitable hospitals, Level 3 inputs included a weighted average net revenue multiple of 0.275x from a selected range of 0.25x to 0.30x in reference to comparable transactions. We also considered the reported book values inclusive of various adjustments for unprofitable hospitals. After reducing the derived fair value of Steward's business for Steward's secured debt and their working capital deficit, we arrived at only a nominal remaining value that could not support the carrying value of the loan to a Steward affiliate from 2021 or our remaining 9.9% equity investment. In addition, the value of the investor's share of the remaining 90.1% of Steward's equity that collateralized the loan to the international joint venture was deemed insufficient to support recovery of this investment. As a result, we recorded impairment charges and negative fair value adjustments in the 2024 first quarter, as discussed further in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impairment of Real Estate Investments

- Contingencies
As part of the global settlement with Steward discussed in Note 3, upon completion of the transfers to the new operators and satisfaction of certain other conditions, in addition to approval by relevant state and local regulators, each of the Company and Steward have agreed, subject to specified exceptions, to the mutual release of claims against each other. In connection with the global settlement with Steward and reciprocal release of claims, the Company has established an approximate $18 million reserve at March 31, 2025, for property taxes, other property related expenses, and other obligations due to third parties associated with properties formerly leased to Steward.
We are party to various lawsuits as described below:
Securities and Derivative Litigation
On April 13, 2023, we and certain of our executives were named as defendants in a putative federal securities class action lawsuit alleging false and/or misleading statements and/or omissions resulted in artificially inflated prices for our common stock, filed by a purported stockholder in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama (Case No. 2:23-cv-00486). The complaint seeks class certification on behalf of purchasers of our common stock between July 15, 2019 and February 22, 2023 and unspecified damages including interest and an award of reasonable costs and expenses. This class action complaint was amended on September 22, 2023 and alleges that we made material misstatements or omissions relating to the financial health of certain of our tenants. On September 26, 2024, the Court dismissed the amended complaint with prejudice, and the plaintiff thereafter moved the Court to alter its judgment. That motion has been fully briefed and is currently pending before the Court.
Members of our Board of Directors were also named as defendants in two related shareholder derivative lawsuits filed by purported stockholders in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama on October 19, 2023 (Case No. 2:23- cv-01415) and December 7, 2023 (Case No. 2:23-cv-01667). The Company was named as a nominal defendant in both complaints. These shareholder derivative complaints both make allegations similar to those made in the Alabama securities lawsuit described above relating to purported material misstatements or omissions relating to the financial health of certain of our tenants. These derivative actions have been consolidated and stayed pending further developments in the Alabama securities lawsuit. Members of our Board of Directors were also named as defendants in three related shareholder derivative lawsuits filed by purported stockholders in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland on February 16, 2024 (Case No. 1:24-cv-00471), June 28, 2024 (Case No. 1:24-cv-01899), and July 26, 2024 (Case No. 1 24-cv-02173). The Company was named as a nominal defendant. These shareholder derivative complaints make allegations similar to those made in the Alabama securities and derivative lawsuits described above relating to purported material misstatements or omissions relating to the financial health of certain of our tenants. Defendants have not been required to respond to these complaints pending further developments in the Alabama securities lawsuit.
On September 29, 2023, we and certain of our executives were named as defendants in a putative federal securities class action lawsuit filed by a purported stockholder in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 1:23-cv- 08597). The complaint seeks class certification on behalf of purchasers of our common stock between May 23, 2023 and August 17, 2023 and alleges false and/or misleading statements and/or omissions in connection with certain transactions involving Prospect. This class action complaint was amended on October 30, 2024 and alleges that we made material misstatements or omissions in connection with certain transactions involving Prospect. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on January 14, 2025.
Members of our Board of Directors were also named as defendants in two related shareholder derivative lawsuits filed by purported stockholders in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on December 18, 2023 (Case No. 1:23-cv- 10934) and March 1, 2024 (Case No. 1:24-cv-01589). The Company was named as a nominal defendant in both complaints. These shareholder derivative complaints both make allegations similar to those made in the New York securities lawsuit described above relating to purported false and/or misleading statements and/or omissions in connection with certain transactions involving Prospect. The two cases have been consolidated and stayed pending further developments in the New York securities lawsuit described above. On February 21, 2024, members of our Board of Directors were named as defendants in a shareholder derivative lawsuit filed by a purported stockholder in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (Case No. 1:24-cv-00527). The Company was named as a nominal defendant. This shareholder derivative complaint makes allegations similar to those made in the New York securities and derivative lawsuits described above relating to purported false and/or misleading statements and/or omissions in connection with certain transactions involving Prospect. This action has been stayed pending further developments in the New York securities action described above.
We believe these claims are without merit and intend to defend the remaining open cases vigorously. We have not recorded a liability related to the lawsuits above because, at this time, we are unable to determine whether an unfavorable outcome is probable or to estimate reasonably possible losses.
From time-to-time, we are a party to other legal proceedings, claims, or regulatory inquiries and investigations arising out of, or incidental to, our business. While we are unable to predict with certainty the outcome of any particular matter, in the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to those proceedings is not presently expected to materially affect our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
- Segment Disclosures
We manage our business and report financial results asone business segment. This is consistent with the manner in which our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), our executive team made up of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluates performance and makes resource and operating decisions for the business.
Ourprimary business strategy and source of revenue is from the acquisition and development of healthcare facilities that are leased to healthcare operating companies under long-term net leases, which require the tenant to bear most of the costs associated with theproperty. The majority of our leased assets are owned 100%; however, we do own some leased assets through joint ventures with other partners. We also may make mortgage loans to healthcare operators collateralized by their real estate. In addition, we may make noncontrolling investments in our tenants, from time-to-time, typically in conjunction with larger real estate transactions with the tenant, which may enhance our overall return and provide for certain minority rights and protections. Although we generate our revenues from these investments in the U.S. and eight other countries across multiple property types, we centrally manage these business activities on a consolidated basis. The accounting policies of our business segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
The CODM evaluates performance and makes resource and operating decisions for the business on a consolidated basis using consolidated net income from our consolidated statements of net income as our primary GAAP profit measure supplemented by consolidated funds from operations ("FFO"). We use net income and FFO to monitor expected versus actual results to assess performance. The measure of segment assets is total assets as reported on our consolidated balance sheets. We compute FFO in accordance with the definition provided by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which represents consolidated net (loss) income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) on sales of real estate and impairment charges on real estate assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, including amortization related to in-place lease intangibles, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Given FFO excludes real estate related depreciation and amortization expense by definition and due to our typical net lease structure which requires our tenants to bear most of the costs associated with our properties (including property taxes, insurance, etc.), the primary expenses reviewed by the CODM include general and administrative and interest expenses from our consolidated statements of net income. See "Concentration of Credit Risks" in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for entity-wide disclosures around major customers, geographic areas, and property types.
- Subsequent Events
In April 2025, we invested approximately CHF 50 million (CHF 25 million of which is a short-term loan) in the Swiss Medical Network real estate joint venture, proceeds of which were used to facilitate the acquisition of a general acute care facility.
