Business Overview

Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated ("Company") is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns, leases, manages, acquires, finances, develops and redevelops income-producing real estate properties associated primarily with the delivery of outpatient healthcare services throughout the United States. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had gross investments of approximately $13.4 billion in 654 consolidated real estate properties, construction in progress, redevelopments, financing receivables, financing lease right-of-use assets, land held for development and corporate property, excluding held for sale assets. The Company's real estate properties are located in 35 states and total approxima tely 38.4 million square feet. The Company provided leasing and property management services to 92% of its portfolio nationwide as of March 31, 2024.

On July 20, 2022, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 28, 2022, by and among Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (now known as HRTI, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company) (“Legacy HR”), Healthcare Trust of America, Inc., a Maryland corporation (now known as Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated) (“Legacy HTA”), Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (now known as Healthcare Realty Holdings, L.P.) (the “OP”), and HR Acquisition 2, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy HR, with Legacy HR continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legacy HTA (the “Merger”). The combined company operates under the name “Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated” and its shares of class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “HR”.

The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT under which substantially all of its business is conducted through the OP, the day-to-day management of which is exclusively controlled by the Company. As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned 98.6% of the issued and outstanding units of the OP, with other investors owning the remaining 1.4% of outstanding units.

In addition, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had a weighted average ownership interest of approxima tely 43% in 33 real estate properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures. See Note 2 below for more details regarding the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures.

Any references to square footage or occupancy percentage, and any amounts derived from these values in these notes to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In addition, the interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2024 for many reasons including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dispositions, capital financing transactions, changes in interest rates and the effects of other trends, risks and uncertainties.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures and partnerships where the Company controls the operating activities. GAAP requires us to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation broadly defines a VIE as an entity in which either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is the VIE’s primary beneficiary, with any minority interests reflected as non-controlling interests or redeemable non-controlling interests in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events, such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk, the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary, or changes in facts and circumstances that impact the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts economic performance. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.

For property holding entities not determined to be VIEs, the Company consolidates such entities in which it owns 100% of the equity or has a controlling financial interest evidenced by ownership of a majority voting interest. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. For entities in which the Company owns less than 100% of the equity interest, the Company consolidates the entity if it has the direct or indirect ability to control the entities’ activities based upon the terms of the respective entities’ ownership agreements.

The OP is 98.6% owned by the Company. Holders of operating partnership units (“OP Units”) are considered to be non-controlling interest holders in the OP and their ownership interests are reflected as equity on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Further, a portion of the earnings and losses of the OP are allocated to non-controlling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to common stock, any difference between the fair value of the common stock issued and the carrying value of the OP Units converted to common stock is recorded as a component of equity. As of March 31, 2024, there were approximately 5.2 million OP Units, or 1.4% of OP Units issued and outstanding, held by non-controlling interest holders. Additionally, the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE. Accordingly, the Company consolidates its interests in the OP.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company hadfour consolidated VIEs, in addition to the OP, consisting of joint venture investments in which the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on the combination of operational control and the rights to receive residual returns or the obligation to absorb losses arising from the joint ventures. Accordingly, such joint ventures have been consolidated, and the table below summarizes the balance sheets of consolidated VIEs, excluding the OP, in the aggregate:

As of March 31, 2024, the Company hadthree unconsolidated VIEs consisting oftwo notes receivables andone joint venture. The Company does not have the power or economic interests to direct the activities of the VIEs on a stand-alone basis, and therefore it was determined that the Company was not the primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company accounts for thetwo notes receivables as amortized cost and a joint venture arrangement under the equity method. See below for additional information regarding the Company's unconsolidated VIEs.

1 Assumed mortgage note receivable in connection with the Merger.

2 Includes investments inseven properties.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company's unconsolidated joint venture arrangements were accounted for using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercised significant influence over but did not control these entities. See Note 2 below for more details regarding the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures.

Use of Estimates in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests

The Company accounts for redeemable equity securities in accordance with ASC Topic 480: Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments, which requires that equity securities redeemable at the option of the holder, not solely within our control, be classified outside permanent stockholders’ equity. The Company classifies redeemable equity securities as redeemable non-controlling interests in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, the Company records the carrying amount at the greater of the initial carrying amount (increased or decreased for the non-controlling interest’s share of net income or loss and distributions) or the redemption value. We measure the redemption value and record an adjustment to the carrying value of the equity securities as a component of redeemable non-controlling interest. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had redeemable non-controlling interests of $3.9 million.

Asset Impairment

The Company assesses the potential for impairment of identifiable, definite-lived, intangible assets and long-lived assets, including real estate properties, whenever the occurrence of an event or a change in circumstances indicates that the carrying value might not be fully recoverable. Indicators of impairment may include significant underperformance of an asset relative to historical or expected operating results; significant changes in the Company’s use of assets or the strategy for its overall business; plans to sell an asset before its depreciable life has ended; the expiration of a significant portion of leases in a property; or significant negative economic trends or negative industry trends for the Company or its tenants. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized real estate impairments totaling $15.9 million as a result of planned disposition activity.

As of March 31, 2024, three properties totaling $2.9 million were measured at fair value using level 3 fair value hierarchy. The level 3 fair value techniques included brokerage estimates and unexecuted purchase and sale agreements, less estimated closing costs.

Goodwill Impairment

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company experienced a sustained decline in the price per share of its common stock, which was identified as an indicator of goodwill impairment. As a result, a goodwill evaluation was performed. The Company's current operations are carried out through a single reporting unit with a carrying value of approximately $12.0 billion. The Company determined that the carrying value exceeded estimated fair value and therefore an impairment of goodwill was recorded. The Company recorded a $250.5 million full impairment of its goodwill, which is recorded as a non-cash charge in “Impairment of goodwill” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investments in Leases - Financing Receivables, Net

In accordance with ASC Topic 842: Leases, for transactions in which the Company enters into a contract to acquire an asset and leases it back to the seller (i.e., a sale leaseback transaction), control of the asset is not considered to have transferred when the seller-lessee has a purchase option. As a result, the Company does not recognize the underlying real estate asset but instead recognizes a financial asset in accordance with ASC Topic 310: Receivables. See below for additional information regarding the Company's financing receivables.

Real Estate Notes Receivable

Real estate notes receivable consists of mezzanine and other real estate loans, which are generally collateralized by a pledge of the borrower’s ownership interest in the respective real estate owner, a mortgage or deed of trust, and/or corporate guarantees. Real estate notes receivable are intended to be held-to-maturity and are recorded at amortized cost, net of unamortized loan origination costs and fees and allowance for credit losses. As of March 31, 2024, real estate notes receivable, net, which are included in Other assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $174.4 million.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Pursuant to ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, the Company adopted a policy to evaluate current expected credit losses at the inception of loans qualifying for treatment under ASC Topic 326. The Company utilizes a probability of default method approach for estimating current expected credit losses and evaluates the liquidity and creditworthiness of its borrowers on a quarterly basis to determine whether any updates to the future expected losses recognized upon inception are necessary. The Company’s evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, credit enhancements, liquidity, and other factors. The determination of the credit allowance is based on a quarterly evaluation of all outstanding loans, including general economic conditions and estimated collectability of loan payments. The Company evaluates the collectability of loan receivables based on a combination of credit quality indicators, including, but not limited to, payment status, historical loan charge-offs, financial strength of the borrower and guarantors, and nature, extent, and value of the underlying collateral. A loan is considered to have deteriorated credit quality when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due as scheduled according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. For those loans identified as having deteriorated credit quality, the amount of credit loss is determined on an individual basis. Placement on non-accrual status may be required. Consistent with this definition, all loans on non-accrual status are deemed to have deteriorated credit quality. To the extent circumstances improve and the risk of collectability is diminished, the loan may return to income accrual status. While a loan is on non-accrual status, any cash receipts are applied against the outstanding principal balance.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company determined that the risk of credit loss on a few of its mezzanine loans were no longer remote and recorded a credit loss reserve of $5.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company determined that no additional credit loss reserve was needed for its real estate notes receivable.

The following table summarizes the Company's allowance for credit losses on real estate notes receivable:

Interest Income

Income from Lease Financing Receivables

The Company recognized the related income fromtwo financing receivables totaling $2.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, based on an imputed interest rate over the terms of the applicable lease. As a result, the interest recognized from the financing receivable in any particular period will not equal the cash payments from the lease agreement in that period.

Acquisition costs incurred in connection with entering into the financing receivable are treated as loan origination fees. These costs are classified with the financing receivable and are included in the balance of the net investment. Amortization of these amounts will be recognized as a reduction to Interest income over the life of the lease.

Income from Real Estate Notes Receivable

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized interest income of $2.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to real estate notes receivable. The Company recognizes interest income on an accrual basis unless the Company has determined that collectability of contractual amounts is not reasonably assured, at which point the note is placed on non-accrual status and interest income is recognized on a cash basis. In 2023, the Company placedtwo of its real estate notes receivable with principal balances, net of credit loss, of $48.9 million on non-accrual status and accordingly did not recognize any interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606)

The Company recognizes certain revenue under the core principle of ASC Topic 606. This topic requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Lease revenue is not within the scope of ASC Topic 606. To achieve the core principle, the Company applies the five-step model specified in the guidance.

Revenue that is accounted for under ASC Topic 606 is segregated on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the Other operating line item. This line item includes parking income, management fee income and other miscellaneous income. Below is a detail of the amounts by category:

1 Includes the recovery of certain expenses under the financing receivable as outlined in the management agreement.

The Company’s major types of revenue that are accounted for under Topic 606 that are listed above are all accounted for as the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligations that are identified for each of these items are satisfied over time, and the Company recognizes revenue monthly based on this principle.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). Some of the main provisions of this update to segment reporting include; (i) a requirement to disclose significant segment expenses, on an annual and interim basis, that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; (ii) a requirement to disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and (iii) a requirement that an entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this update.

The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. At this time, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and compliance of these new disclosure requirements will begin with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Note 3. Leases

Lessor Accounting

The Company’s properties generally are leased pursuant to non-cancelable, fixed-term operating leases with expiration dates through 2052. Some leases provide tenants with fixed rent renewal terms while others have market rent renewal terms. Some leases provide the lessee, during the term of the lease, with an option or right of first refusal to purchase the leased property. The Company’s single-tenant net leases generally require the lessee to pay minimum rent and all taxes (including property tax), insurance, maintenance and other operating costs associated with the leased property.

The Company's leases typically have escalators that are either based on a stated percentage or an index such as the consumer price index ("CPI"). In addition, most of the Company's leases include nonlease components, such as reimbursement of operating expenses as additional rent, or include the reimbursement of expected operating expenses as part of the lease payment. The Company adopted an accounting policy to combine lease and nonlease components. Rent escalators based on indices and reimbursements of operating expenses that are not included in the lease rate are considered variable lease payments. Variable payments are recognized in the period earned. Lease income for the Company's operating leases recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $318.1 million. Lease income for the Company's operating leases recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $324.1 million.

Future lease payments under the non-cancelable operating leases, excluding any reimbursements and one sale-type lease, as of March 31, 2024 were as follows:

Lessee Accounting

As of March 31, 2024, the Company was obligated, as the lessee, under operating lease agreements consisting primarily of the Company’s ground leases. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 231 properties totaling 16.9 million square feet that were held under ground leases. Some of the ground lease renewal terms are based on fixed rent renewal terms and others have market rent renewal terms. These ground leases typically have initial terms of 40 to 99 years with expiration dates through 2119. Any rental increases related to the Company’s ground leases are generally either stated or based on CPI. The Company had 75 prepaid ground leases as of March 31, 2024. The amortization of the prepaid rent, included in the operating lease right-of-use asset, represented approximately $0.3 million of the Company’s rental expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

The Company’s future lease payments (primarily for its 156 non-prepaid ground leases) as of March 31, 2024 were as follows:

The following table provides details of the Company's total lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:
