Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity and redeemable non-controlling interests, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and our report dated February 19, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Asset Impairment – Plans to Sell a Real Estate Property Before its Useful Life Has Ended
The Company recorded total real estate investments, net, of approximately $9.3 billion as of December 31, 2024. As described in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements, the Company assesses the potential for impairment of long-lived assets, including real estate properties, whenever events occur, or a change in circumstances indicates, that the carrying value might not be fully recoverable. Indicators of impairment may include, among others, plans to sell an asset before its useful life has ended.
We identified management’s assessment of plans to sell an asset before its useful life has ended as an indicator of potential impairment for real estate properties as a critical audit matter. Assessing the likelihood of the sale of an asset before its useful life has ended requires a high degree of judgment. Auditing management's judgment around these elements was especially challenging due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address this matter.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
Testing the design and operating effectiveness of controls over management’s assessment of the likelihood of plans to sell an asset before its useful life has ended.
Assessing the likelihood of plans to sell an asset before its useful life has ended using a combination of retrospective review, inquiry with management outside of the accounting department, and obtaining third party evidence.
Impairment of Goodwill
As described in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded a $250.5 million impairment of its goodwill in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually as of December 31 or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. During 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, the Company performed a quantitative assessment, and the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit was estimated using a combination of discounted cash flow models and earnings multiples techniques. The determination of fair value using the discounted cash flow model technique requires the use of estimates and assumptions, including revenue and expense growth rates, capitalization rate and discount rate. The determination of fair value using the earnings multiples technique requires assumptions to be made in relation to maintainable earnings and market multiples.
We identified the evaluation of goodwill for impairment as a critical audit matter. Significant judgments are required to be made by management to determine the fair value for the single reporting unit, especially the assumptions of the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model and the market multiples used in the earnings multiples technique. Auditing management’s assumptions used in the impairment assessment of goodwill involved especially challenging and subjective auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address this matter and the extent of specialized skill or knowledge needed.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
Testing the design and operating effectiveness of controls over management’s determination of the fair value of the single reporting unit, including controls over the discount rate and market multiples used in the goodwill impairment assessment.
Utilizing professionals with specialized skills and knowledge to assist in assessing the reasonableness of the discount rate and market multiples used in the goodwill impairment assessment.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2005.

(formerly known as Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP) (the "OP"), after giving effect to the Merger discussed in more detail in Note 2 below. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had gross real estate investments of approximately $11.8 billion in 589 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 33 states and total approximately 34.2 million square feet. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, the Company had a weighted average ownership interest of approximately 31% in 63 real estate properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures.
See Note 5 below for more details regarding the Company's joint ventures. Square footage and property count disclosures in these Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s 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 the Company 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”). ASC Topic 810 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 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 98.7% 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 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 December 31, 2024, there were approximately 4.6 million, or 1.3%, 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 December 31, 2024, the Company hadthree 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023:
| DECEMBER 31, | ||

As of December 31, 2024, the Company hadfive unconsolidated VIEs consisting offour notes receivables andone joint venture. The Company does not have the power or economic interests to direct the activities of these 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 thefour 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.
3 Company provided seller financing and entered into a mortgage loan and a mezzanine loan in connection with a property disposition.
As of December 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 5 for more details regarding the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures.
Use of Estimates in the Consolidated Financial Statements
Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue recognition, purchase price allocations to record investments in real estate, impairments, collectability of tenant receivables, and fair value measurements, as applicable.
Segment Reporting
The Company owns, leases, acquires, manages, finances, develops and redevelops outpatient and other healthcare-related properties. The Company is managed asone reporting unit, rather than multiple reporting units, for internal reporting purposes and for internal decision-making and discloses its operating results in a single reportable segment. The Company's chief operating decision makers (“CODM”), represented by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Operating Officer, review financial information and assess the consolidated operations of the Company in order to make strategic decisions such as allocation of capital expenditures and other significant expenses. See Note 18 for additional information on segment reporting.
Real Estate Properties
Real estate properties are recorded at cost or at fair value if acquired in a transaction that is a business combination under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Cost or fair value at the time of acquisition is allocated among land, buildings, tenant improvements, lease and other intangibles, and personal property as applicable.
During 2024 and 2023, the Company eliminated against accumulated depreciation approximately $112.3 million and $51.7 million , respectively, of fully amortized real estate intangibles that were initially recorded as a component of certain real estate acquisitions. During 2024 approximately $3.0 million of fully depreciated tenant and capital improvements that were no longer in service were eliminated against accumulated depreciation. There wereno such transactions during 2023.
Depreciation expense of real estate properties for the three years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $507.1 million, $518.6 million and $320.8 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets in place as of December 31, 2024, is provided for on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life:
| Land improvements | 2.0 to 39.0 years |
|---|---|
| Buildings and improvements | 3.3 to 49.0 years |
| Lease intangibles (including ground lease intangibles) | 1.0 to 99.0 years |
| Personal property | 3.0 to 10.0 years |
The Company capitalizes direct costs, including costs such as construction costs and professional services, and indirect costs, including capitalized interest and overhead costs, associated with the development and construction of real estate assets while substantive activities are ongoing to prepare the assets for their intended use. Capitalized interest cost is calculated using the weighted average interest rate of the Company's unsecured debt or the interest rate on project specific debt, if applicable. The Company continues to capitalize interest on the unoccupied portion of the properties in stabilization for up toone year after the buildings have been placed into service, at which time the capitalization of interest must cease.
Asset Impairment
The Company assesses the potential for impairment of identifiable, definite-lived, intangible assets and long-lived assets, including real estate properties, whenever events occur 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 useful 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. In addition, the Company reviews for possible impairment, those assets subject to purchase options and those impacted by casualty losses, such as tornadoes and hurricanes. A property value is considered impaired only if management's estimate of current and projected (undiscounted and unleveraged) operating cash flows of the property is less than the net carrying value of the property. These estimates of future cash flows include only those that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the property. These estimates, including the useful life determination which can be affected by any potential sale of the property, are based on management's assumptions about its use of the property. Therefore, significant judgment is involved in estimating the current and projected cash flows. If management determines that the carrying value of the Company’s assets may not be fully recoverable based on the existence of any of the factors above, or others, management would measure and record an impairment charge based on the estimated fair value of the property or the estimated fair value less costs to sell the property. See Note 7 for additional information on impairment.
Acquisitions of Real Estate Properties with In-Place Leases
The Company's acquisitions of real estate properties typically do not meet the definition of a business and are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Acquisitions of real estate properties with in-place leases are accounted for at relative fair value. When a building with in-place leases is acquired, the cost of the acquisition must be allocated between the tangible real estate assets "as-if-vacant" and the intangible real estate assets related to in-place leases based on their estimated fair values. Land fair value is estimated by using an assessment of comparable transactions and other relevant data.
The Company considers whether any of the in-place lease rental rates are above- or below-market. An asset (if the actual rental rate is above-market) or a liability (if the actual rental rate is below-market) is calculated and recorded in an amount equal to the present value of the future cash flows that represent the difference between the actual lease rate and the estimated market rate. If an in-place lease is identified as a below-market rental rate, the Company would also evaluate any renewal options associated with that lease to determine if the intangible should include those periods. The values related to above- or below-market in-place lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining term of the leases upon acquisition to rental income where the Company is the lessor and to property operating expense where the Company is the lessee.
The Company also estimates an absorption period, which can vary by property, assuming the building is vacant and must be leased up to the actual level of occupancy when acquired. During that absorption period, the owner would incur direct costs, such as tenant improvements, and would suffer lost rental income. Likewise, the owner would have acquired a measurable asset in that, assuming the building was vacant, certain fixed costs would be avoided because the actual in-place lessees would reimburse a certain portion of fixed costs through expense reimbursements during the absorption period.
These assets (above- or below-market lease, tenant improvement, leasing costs avoided, rental income lost, and expenses recovered through in-place lessee reimbursements) are estimated and recorded in amounts equal to the present value of estimated future cash flows. The actual purchase price is allocated based on the various relative asset fair values described above.
The building and tenant improvement components of the purchase price are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the building or the weighted average remaining term of the in-place leases. The at-market, in-place lease intangibles are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the weighted average remaining term of the leases, and customer relationship assets are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over terms applicable to each acquisition. Any goodwill recorded through a business combination would be reviewed for impairment at least annually and is not amortized.
See Note 9 for more details on the Company’s intangible assets.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. In calculating fair value, a company must maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements.
A hierarchy of valuation techniques is defined to determine whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Executed purchase and sale agreements, which are binding agreements, are categorized as level one inputs.
Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as other assets or other liabilities. The valuation of derivative instruments requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the fair value of the instruments. Fair values of derivatives are estimated by pricing models that consider the forward yield curves and discount rates. The fair value of the Company's forward starting interest rate swap contracts are estimated by pricing models that consider foreign trade rates and discount rates. Such amounts and the recognition of such amounts are subject to significant estimates that may change in the future. For derivatives designated in qualifying cash flow hedging relationships, the change in fair value of the effective portion of the derivatives is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings once the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $1.2 million and $10.7 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, respectively, related to forward starting interest rate swaps entered into and settled during 2015 and 2020 and a hedge of the Company's variable rate debt. See Note 11 for additional information.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents includes short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Restricted cash includes cash held in escrow in connection with proceeds from the sales of certain real estate properties. The Company did not have any restricted cash for the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2023.
Cash and cash equivalents are held in bank accounts and overnight investments. The Company maintains its bank deposits with large financial institutions in amounts that often exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their respective lives to their estimated residual values and are reviewed for impairment only when impairment indicators are present.
Identifiable intangible assets of the Company are comprised of enterprise goodwill, in-place lease intangible assets, customer relationship intangible assets, and debt issuance costs. In-place lease and customer relationship intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lives of the assets. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the debt instrument on the effective interest method or the straight-line method when the effective interest method is not applicable.
Goodwill is not amortized but is typically evaluated for impairment annually as of December 31 or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. However, 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 performed a quantitative assessment, and the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit was estimated using a combination of discounted cash flow models and earnings multiples techniques. The determination of fair value using the discounted cash flow model technique requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to revenue and expense growth rates, capitalization rates, discount rates, capital expenditures and working capital levels. The determination of fair value using the earnings multiples technique requires assumptions to be made in relation to maintainable earnings and market multiples. These forecasts and assumptions are highly subjective, and while we believe our assumptions are reasonable, changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on our financial results. The Company determined that the carrying value exceeded estimated fair value, and therefore 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 9 for more detail on the Company’s intangible assets.
Contingent Liabilities
From time to time, the Company may be subject to loss contingencies arising from legal proceedings and similar matters. Additionally, while the Company maintains comprehensive liability and property insurance with respect to each of its properties, the Company may be exposed to unforeseen losses related to uninsured or underinsured damages.
The Company continually monitors any matters that may present a contingent liability, and, on a quarterly basis, management reviews the Company’s reserves and accruals in relation to each of them, adjusting provisions as necessary in view of changes in available information. Liabilities for contingencies are first recorded when a loss is determined to be both probable and can be reasonably estimated. Changes in estimates regarding the exposure to a contingent loss are reflected as adjustments to the related liability in the periods when they occur.
Because of uncertainties inherent in the estimation of contingent liabilities, it is possible that the Company’s provision for contingent losses could change materially in the near term. To the extent that any significant losses, in addition to amounts recognized, are at least reasonably possible, such amounts will be disclosed in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company has various employee and director share-based awards outstanding. These awards include non-vested common stock or other stock-based awards, including units in the OP, pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan, dated April 29, 2021 ( the "Incentive Plan"). The Company recognizes share-based payments to employees and directors in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period based on the fair value of the award on the measurement date. The Company recognizes the impact of forfeitures as they occur. See Note 13 for details on the Company’s share-based awards.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Certain items must be included in comprehensive (loss) income, including items such as foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income consists of the loss for changes in the fair value of active derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and the loss on the unamortized settlement of forward starting swaps and treasury hedges. See Note 11 for more details on the Company's derivative financial instruments.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
The Company recognizes certain revenue under the core principle of Topic 606. This 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 Topic 606. To achieve the core principle, the Company applies the five-step model specified in the guidance.
Revenue that is accounted for under Topic 606 is segregated on the Company’s 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:
| YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| in thousands | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
| Type of Revenue | |||
| Parking income | $9,329 | $9,903 | $8,513 |
| Management fee income/other 1 | 9,828 | 7,548 | 5,193 |
| $19,157 | $17,451 | $13,706 | |
1 Includes the recovery of certain expenses under the financing receivable as outlined in the management agreement.
The Company’s two major types of revenue that are accounted for under Topic 606 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. In most cases, the revenue is due and payable on a monthly basis. The Company had a receivable balance of $1.9 million, $1.9 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Management fee income includes property management services provided to third parties and certain of the properties in the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures and is generally calculated, accrued and billed monthly based on a percentage of cash collections of tenant receivables for the month or a stated amount per square foot. Management fee income also includes amounts paid to the Company for its asset management services for certain of its unconsolidated joint ventures. Internal management fee income, where the Company manages its owned properties, is eliminated in consolidation.
Rental Income
Rental income related to non-cancelable operating leases is recognized as earned over the life of the lease agreements on a straight-line basis. The Company's lease agreements generally include provisions for stated annual increases or increases based on a Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Rental income from properties under multi-tenant office lease arrangements and rental income from properties with single-tenant lease arrangements are included in rental income on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. For lessors, the standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, direct-financing or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it is considered to transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee. A lease will be classified as direct-financing if risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control. Otherwise, the lease is treated as an operating lease.
Nonlease components, such as common area maintenance, are generally accounted for under Topic 606 and separated from the lease payments. However, the Company elected the lessor practical expedient allowing the Company to not separate these components when certain conditions are met. The combined component is accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 842.
The components of rental income are as follows:
| YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| in thousands | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
| Property operating income | $1,202,780 | $1,270,508 | $883,953 |
| Straight-line rent | 29,996 | 38,676 | 23,498 |
| Rental income | $1,232,776 | $1,309,184 | $907,451 |
Federal Income Taxes
The Company believes it has qualified to be taxed as a REIT and intends at all times to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company must distribute at least 90% per annum of its real estate investment trust taxable income to its stockholders and meet other requirements to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust. As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to federal income tax on net income it distributes to its stockholders, but may be subject to certain state and local taxes and fees. See Note 16 for further discussion.
If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its taxable income and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which the qualification is lost unless the IRS grants it relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and net cash available for dividend distributions to its stockholders.
The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through the OP. As a partnership, the OP generally is not liable for federal income taxes. The income and loss from the operations of the OP is included in the tax returns of its partners, including the Company, who are responsible for reporting their allocable share of the partnership income and loss. Accordingly, no provision for income tax has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company classifies interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in the Consolidated Financial Statements as a component of general and administrative expenses. No such amounts were recognized during the three years ended December 31, 2024.
Federal tax returns for the years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 are currently subject to examination by taxing authorities.
State Income Taxes
The Company must pay certain state income taxes and the provisions for such taxes are generally included in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 16 for further discussion.
Sales and Use Taxes
The Company must pay sales and use taxes to certain state tax authorities based on rents collected from tenants in properties located in those states. The Company is generally reimbursed for these taxes by the tenant. The Company accounts for the payments to the taxing authority and subsequent reimbursement from the tenant on a net basis in rental income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Assets Held for Sale
Long-lived assets held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their fair value less estimated cost to sell. Further, depreciation of these assets ceases at the time the assets are classified as held for sale. Losses resulting from the sale of such properties are characterized as impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 6 for more detail on assets held for sale.
Earnings per Share
The Company uses the two-class method of computing net earnings per common share. Earnings per common share is calculated by considering share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as participating securities. Undistributed earnings (excess net income over dividend payments) are allocated on a pro rata basis to common shareholders and restricted shareholders. Undistributed losses (dividends in excess of net income) do not get allocated to restricted stockholders as they do not have the contractual obligation to share in losses. The amount of undistributed losses that applies to the restricted stockholders is allocated to the common stockholders.
Basic earnings per common share is calculated using weighted average shares outstanding less issued and outstanding non-vested shares of common stock. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated using weighted average shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of the outstanding stock options from the Legacy HR Employee Stock Purchase Plan using the treasury stock method and the average stock price during the period. Additionally, net income (loss) allocated to OP units has been included in the numerator and common stock related to redeemable OP units have been included in the denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share. See Note 14 for the calculations of earnings per share.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests
The Company accounts for redeemable equity securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-04 Liabilities (Topic 480): Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments, which requires that equity securities contingently 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 Consolidated Balance Sheet. 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 December 31, 2024, the Company had redeemable non-controlling interests of $4.8 million.
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 as of December 31, 2024.

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 December 31, 2024, real estate notes receivable, net, which are included in Other assets, net on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $127.6 million.

1 In 2024, the Company provided seller financing of $9.6 million in connection with the sale of a real estate property in Houston, TX. The Company has also committed mezzanine loan funding of up to $4.5 million in connection with this sale.
2 In 2024, the Company determined that an allowance for credit loss of $16.8 million was needed on this mortgage loan, which included approximately $16.3 million of principal and approximately $0.5 million of interest. In January 2025, the underlying collateral for this loan was sold and the Company received $14.9 million towards the principal balance of this loan.
3 Outstanding principal and interest due upon maturity. As of the date of these financial statements, the outstanding principal and interest on this loan has not been repaid. The Company has evaluated the collectibility of the amount outstanding and has determined that the underlying collateral has a value that exceeds the carrying value of as of December 31, 2024, and is working with borrower on satisfaction of the mortgage loan.
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.
In 2023, the Company determined that the risk of credit loss ontwo of its mezzanine loans was no longer remote and recorded a credit loss reserve of $5.2 million. In 2024, the Company determined that an additional allowance of $46.8 million was needed on thesetwo mezzanine loans to cover the entire carrying amount for these loans. In fourth quarter of 2024, the underlying project was sold and the Company received $4.0 million as consideration for its mezzanine loan interests.
Additionally, in 2024 the Company determined the risk of credit loss onone of its mortgage notes receivable was no longer remote and recorded a credit loss reserve of $16.8 million, including $0.5 million of accrued interest. The Company utilized the level 1 fair value hierarchy, which included an executed purchase and sale agreement on the underlying collateral of the mortgage loan, to determine the amount of credit loss reserve.
The following table summarizes the Company's allowance for credit losses on real estate notes receivable:
| Dollars in thousands | TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 | TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Allowance for credit losses, beginning of period | $5,196 | $— |

- On June 24, 2024, the Company'stwo mezzanine loans in Texas with a total principal balance of $54.1 million matured. On July 15, 2024, the senior lender on the construction loan associated with the underlying project provided notice of foreclosure proceedings to the borrower. In 2024, the Company recorded an allowance for credit loss of $46.8 million to cover the entire carrying amount for these loans. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the capital for the underlying project was restructured and the Company received $4.0 million as consideration for its interest. As of December 31, 2024, the Company no longer has a mezzanine position in connection with these projects.
Interest Income
Income from Lease Finance Receivables
The Company recognized the related income fromtwo financing receivables totaling $8.4 million, $8.3 million and $8.1 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, 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
For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized interest income of $8.0 million, $8.8 million and $3.4 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 on non-accrual status. In 2024, the Company placedone of its real estate notes receivable with a principal balance, net of credit loss, of $14.9 million on non-accrual status. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize any interest income for these loans subsequent to the transition to non-accrual status.
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 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 Company adopted this ASU, effective for the year ended December 31, 2024. The adoption has no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but has resulted in new footnote disclosure. See Note 18 for details on Segment Reporting.
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, that will require entities to provide more detailed information in the notes to the financial statements related to certain expense captions on the face of the income statement. The ASU aims to increase transparency and provide investors with more detailed information about the nature of expenses reported on the face of the income statement. The new standard does not change the requirements for the presentation of expenses on the face of the income statement.
Under this ASU, entities are required to disaggregate, in a tabular format, expense captions presented on the face of the income statement — excluding earnings or losses from equity method investments — if they include any of the following expense categories: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation or depletion. For any remaining items within each relevant expense caption, entities must provide a qualitative description of the nature of those expenses. The new ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. 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 ended December 31, 2027.
Note 2. Merger with HTA
On July 20, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 28, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (now known as HRTI, LLC) (“Legacy HR”), Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (now known as Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated) (“Legacy HTA”), the OP, and HR Acquisition 2, LLC (“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”).
On the Closing Date, each outstanding share of Legacy HR common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Legacy HR Common Stock”), was cancelled and converted into the right to receiveone share of Legacy HTA class A common stock at a fixed ratio of 1.00 to 1.00. Per the terms of the Merger Agreement, Legacy HTA declared a special dividend of $4.82 (the “Special Dividend”) for each outstanding share of Legacy HTA class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share ( the “Legacy HTA Common Stock”), and the OP declared a corresponding distribution to the holders of its partnership units, payable to Legacy HTA stockholders and OP unitholders of record on July 19, 2022.
Immediately following the Merger, Legacy HR converted to a Maryland limited liability company and changed its name to HRTI, LLC and Legacy HTA changed its name to “Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated”. In addition, the equity interests of Legacy HR were contributed by Legacy HTA by means of a contribution and assignment agreement to the OP, and Legacy HR became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the OP. The 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”.
For accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a “reverse acquisition” in which Legacy HTA was considered the legal acquirer and Legacy HR was considered the accounting acquirer based on various factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the composition of the board of directors of the combined company following the Merger, (ii) the composition of senior management of the combined company following the Merger, and (iii) the premium transferred to the Legacy HTA stockholders. As a result, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer, Legacy HR, became the historical financial statements of the Company.
The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests, if any, to be recognized at their acquisition date fair value.
The implied consideration transferred on the Closing Date is as follows:

For accounting purposes, these shares were converted to Legacy HR Common Stock, at an exchange ratio of 1.00 share of Legacy HR Common Stock per share of Legacy HTA Common Stock.
(b) For accounting purposes, the fair value of Legacy HR Common Stock issued to former holders of Legacy HTA Common Stock was based on the per share closing price of Legacy HR Common Stock on July 20, 2022.

The cumulative measurement period adjustments recorded through June 30, 2023 are final and primarily resulted from updated valuations related to the Company’s real estate assets and liabilities and additional information obtained by the Company related to the properties acquired in the Merger and their respective tenants, and resulted in an increase to goodwill of $101.6 million.
Based on the final purchase price allocation of fair value, approximately $247.0 million was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The recognized goodwill was attributable to expected synergies and benefits arising from the Merger, including anticipated general and administrative cost savings and potential economies of scale benefits in both tenant and vendor relationships following the closing of the Merger. None of the goodwill recognized was deductible for tax purposes. During 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 and the Company recorded a full impairment of its goodwill, which was recorded as a non-cash charge in “Impairment of goodwill” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Merger-related Costs
The Company incurred Merger-related costs of $(2.0) million and $103.4 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, which were included within Merger-related costs in results of operations. The Merger-related costs primarily consisted of legal, consulting, severance, and banking services and for the year ended December 31, 2023, including a refund of $17.8 million for transfer taxes paid during the year ended December 31, 2023. No Merger-related costs were incurred for the year ended December 31, 2024.

- Leases
Lessor Accounting Under ASC 842
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 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 years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $1.2 billion, $1.3 billion and $907.5 million, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments under the non-cancelable operating leases, excluding any reimbursements, as of December 31, 2024 were as follows:
| In thousands | |
|---|---|
| 2025 | $816,029 |
| 2026 | 744,399 |

| 2029 | 418,455 |
| 2030 and thereafter | 1,544,358 |
| $4,680,426 | |
Revenue Concentrations
The Company’s real estate portfolio is leased to a diverse tenant base. The Company did not have any customers that account for 10% or more of the Company's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Purchase Option Provisions
Certain of the Company’s leases include purchase option provisions. The provisions vary by agreement but generally allow the lessee to purchase the property covered by the agreement at fair market value or an amount equal to the Company’s gross investment. The Company expects that the purchase price from its purchase options will be greater than its net investment in the properties at the time of potential exercise by the lessee. The Company had gross investments of approximately $111.1 million insix real estate properties as of December 31, 2024 that were subject to purchase options that were exercisable.
Lessee Accounting Under ASC 842
As of December 31, 2024, the Company was obligated, as the lessee, under operating lease agreements consisting primarily of the Company’s ground leases. Contracts evaluated and treated as leases are those that convey the right to control the use of identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. ASC 842 requires the recording of these leases based on the aggregate future cash flows, discounted utilizing the implicit rate in the lease, or, if not readily determinable, based upon the lessee's incremental borrowing rate, to which the Company utilizes market inputs that are both similar to the Company's credit profile and corresponding term of the leases. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 215 properties totaling 16.1 million square feet that were held under ground leases. Some of the ground leases include fixed rent renewal terms and others have market rent renewal terms. The 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 the CPI. The Company had 73 prepaid ground leases as of December 31, 2024. The amortization of the prepaid rent, included in the operating lease right-of-use asset, represented approximately $1.4 million, $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company’s future lease payments (primarily for its 142 non-prepaid ground leases) as of December 31, 2024 were as follows:
| In thousands | OPERATING | FINANCING |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | $12,410 | $2,070 |

- Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During 2024, 2023, and 2022, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The table below presents the notional value and weighted average rates of the Company's derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Executive Incentive Plan
The Compensation Committee has adopted an executive incentive plan pursuant to the Incentive Plan (the "Executive Incentive Plan") to provide specific award criteria with respect to incentive awards made under the Incentive Plan subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Under the terms of the Executive Incentive Plan, the Company's named executive officers and certain other members of senior management may earn incentive awards in the form of cash, non-vested stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and units in the OP ("OP Units"). For 2024, 2023 and 2022, compensation expense, included in general and administrative expense, resulting from the amortization of the Executive Incentive Plan non-vested share, RSU, and OP Unit grants to officers was approximately $16.8 million,$9.0 million, and$9.8 million, respectively. In 2024, the Company accelerated the amortization of certain outstanding non-vested stock and RSU awards, including in connection with the termination without cause of its CEO and CFO, totaling $8.5 million. Details of equity awards that have been issued under this plan are as follows:
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company granted non-vested stock awards to its named executive officers and other members of senior management with an aggregate grant date fair value of $4.3 million, which consisted of an aggregate of 283,320 non-vested shares with a vesting period offive years.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company grantednon-vested stock to other members of senior management with an aggregate grant date fair value of $0.1 million, which consisted of an aggregate of 9,350 non-vested shares with a vesting period offive years.
On February 13, 2024, the Company granted an aggregate of 208,055 RSUs to members of senior management, with an aggregate grant date fair value of $3.5 million. These awards are subject to athree-year performance period and if the performance criteria is met, the awards are then subject to employment for two additional years with ratable vesting of 50% in year four and 50% in year five. The expense will be recognized on the straight-line basis over thefive-year vesting period.
Approximately 36% of the RSUs vest based on relative total shareholder return ("TSR") and were valued using independent specialists. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the weighted average grant date fair value of $19.10 for the relative TSR component for the February grants using the following assumptions:
| Volatility | 28.0% |
|---|---|
| Dividend assumption | Accrued |
| Expected term | 3 years |
| Risk-free rate | 4.44% |
| Stock price (per share) | $15.22 |
The remaining 64% of the RSU awards are subject to certain operating performance conditions. With respect to the operating performance conditions of the February 2024 grants, the grant date fair value was $15.22 based on the Company's share price on the date of grant. The Company records amortization expense based on the probability of achieving certain operating performance conditions, which is evaluated throughout the performance period.
The combined weighted average grant date fair value of the February 2024 RSUs was $16.61 per share.
On April 30, 2024, the Company granted an aggregate of 21,816 RSUs to members of senior management, with an aggregate grant date fair value of $0.3 million. These awards are subject to athree-year performance period and if the performance criteria is met, the awards are then subject to employment for two additional years with ratable vesting of 50% in year four and 50% in year five. The expense will be recognized on the straight-line basis over thefive-year vesting period.
Approximately 36% of the RSUs vest based on relative TSR and were valued using independent specialists. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the weighted average grant date fair value of $14.94 for the relative TSR component for the April grants using the following assumptions:
| Volatility | 29.0% |
|---|---|
| Dividend assumption | Accrued |
| Expected term | 3 years |
| Risk-free rate | 4.85% |
| Stock price (per share) | $14.23 |
The remaining 64% of the RSU awards are subject to certain operating performance conditions. With respect to the operating performance conditions of the April 2024 grants, the grant date fair value was $14.23 based on the Company's share price on the date of grant. The Company records amortization expense based on the probability of achieving certain operating performance conditions, which is evaluated throughout the performance period.
The combined weighted average grant date fair value of the April 2024 RSUs was $14.48 per share.
LTIP Series C Units
On February 13, 2024, the Company granted an aggregate of 906,044 LTIP Series C units ("LTIP-C units) in the OP to its named executive officers with an aggregate grant date fair value of $7.5 million. LTIP-C units are granted notionally at the maximum value of the award. These awards are subject to athree-year performance period and if the performance criteria is met, the awards are then subject to two additional years of employment with ratable vesting of 50% in year four and 50% in year five. The expense will be recognized on the straight-line basis over thefive-year vesting period.
Approximately 36% of the LTIP-C units vest based on relative TSR and were valued using independent specialists. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the weighted average grant date fair value of $9.62 for the relative TSR component for the February 2024 grant using the following assumptions:
| Volatility | 28.0% |
|---|---|
| Dividend assumption | Accrued |
| Expected term | 3 years |
| Risk-free rate | 4.44% |
| Stock price (per share) | $15.22 |
The remaining 64% of the LTIP-C units vest based upon certain operating performance conditions. With respect to the operating performance conditions of the February 13, 2024 grant, the grant date fair value was $15.22 based on the Company's share price on the date of grant. The Company records amortization expense based on the probability of achieving certain operating performance conditions, which is evaluated throughout the performance period.

Taxable Income (unaudited)
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders.
As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income it distributes currently to its stockholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, then it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise tax on its undistributed taxable income.
Earnings and profits (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code), the current and accumulated amounts of which determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders, vary from net income attributable to common stockholders and taxable income because of different depreciation recovery periods, depreciation methods, and other items.

- Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practical to estimate that value.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash - The carrying amount approximates fair value (level 1 inputs) due to the short-term maturity of these investments.
Real estate notes receivable - Real estate notes receivable is recorded in other assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value is estimated using cash flow analyses, based on current interest rates for similar types of arrangements using level 2 inputs in the hierarchy. However, the fair value of one note receivable was determined utilizing the fair value of the receivable's collateral, which was determined based on an executed purchase and sale agreement of the underlying collateral, and therefore was classified as level 1 inputs in the hierarchy.
Borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Term Loans due 2024 and 2026 - The carrying amount approximates fair value because the borrowings are based on variable market interest rates.
Senior Notes and Mortgage notes payable - The fair value of notes and bonds payable is estimated using cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current interest rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Interest rate swap agreements - Interest rate swap agreements are recorded in other assets/liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Fair value is estimated by utilizing pricing models, level 2 inputs, which consider forward yield curves and discount rates. See Note 11 for additional information.
