Diversified Healthcare Trust is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, organized under Maryland law, which owns medical office and life science properties, senior living communities and other healthcare related properties throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2022, we wholly owned 379 properties located in 36 states and Washington, D.C. On that date, the gross book value of our real estate assets was $6,692,543.

As of December 31, 2022, we also owned an equity interest in each of two unconsolidated joint ventures that own medical office and life science properties located in five states with an aggregate of approximately 2.2 million rentable square feet.

The senior living industry has been adversely impacted by the current economic and market conditions as well as the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These conditions continue to have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Although there have been signs of recovery and increased demand during the year ended December 31, 2022 when compared to the low levels during the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot be sure when or if the senior housing business will return to historic pre-pandemic levels. To mitigate the effects of the slow recovery coming from the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased variability in operating cash flows from our senior housing operating portfolio, or SHOP, segment, we continue to work with our senior living operators to manage costs, especially labor costs, and to increase rates and occupancy. As of February 24, 2023, we have approximately $413,000 of cash and cash equivalents and $450,000 in outstanding borrowings under our credit facility, which matures on January 15, 2024. Our credit facility is secured by 61 properties which had an appraised value in excess of $1,300,000 based on appraisals completed to secure the credit facility. We believe we will have access to various types of financings, including equity offerings, to repay our debts and other obligations as they become due or will be able to extend the maturity of certain debt. We also have the ability to defer certain capital improvements if we believe we need to preserve liquidity. We believe that our current financial resources, actions we have taken and are in the process of taking, our expectations as to the future performance of the senior living industry and our fully collateralized credit facility will provide us with sufficient liquidity going forward.
