• Cash NOI: During the three months ended September 30, 2018, HTA generated $36.4 million of Cash NOI from its 2017 investments, including its investment in its unconsolidated joint venture.

Balance Sheet and Capital Markets

• Balance Sheet:As of September 30, 2018, HTA had total leverage of 29.7%, measured as debt less cash and cash equivalents to total capitalization, and 5.3x, measured as debt less cash and cash equivalents to Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for real estate (“Adjusted EBITDAre”).

• Debt: In August 2018, HTA prepaid approximately $72.6 million of its fixed and variable rate mortgages, including the settlement of three cash flow hedges, utilizing net proceeds from the Greenville Disposition to do so. Additionally, in August 2018, HTA’s operating partnership, HTALP, entered into a modification of its $200.0 million unsecured term loan previously due in 2023. This modification decreased pricing at HTA’s current credit rating by 65 bps. The maturity date was also extended by five months to January 2024. The other material terms of the unsecured term loan prior to the modification remained substantially unchanged.

• Stock Repurchase Plan: In August 2018, HTA’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan authorizing HTA to purchase up to $300.0 million of its common stock from time to time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, HTA repurchased 628,002 shares of its common stock at an average price of $26.25 per share, for an aggregate amount of approximately $16.5 million. As of September 30, 2018, the remaining amount of common stock available for repurchase under the stock repurchase plan was approximately $283.5 million.

Impact of Future Accounting Standards

• Topic 842 Leases: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Topic 842, which is effective for HTA as of January 1, 2019. As part of Topic 842, companies are required to expense initial direct costs that are currently capitalized. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, HTA capitalized approximately $3.7 million of internal costs related to leasing activities. Utilizing a traditional third party leasing commission structure of 3% of gross lease value, total leasing commissions would have totaled over $9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

As of January 1, 2019, these external costs, which are primarily external broker fees and external legal fees, will be recorded in HTA’s consolidated statement of operations as additional general and administrative expenses. HTA estimates the range of these expenses to be approximately $6 million to $8 million on an annualized basis and effecting Earnings Per Share and corresponding FFO by approximately $0.03 to $0.04 per share on an annualized basis.

Subsequent Events

• Debt: Subsequent to September 30, 2018, HTA prepaid approximately $67.2 million of its fixed rate mortgages. HTA did not incur any prepayment fees related to this transaction.

• Dividends: On October 25, 2018, HTA’s Board of Directors announced a quarterly dividend of $0.310 per share of common stock and per OP Unit. The quarterly dividend is to be paid on January 9, 2019 to stockholders of record of its common stock and holders of its OP Units on January 2, 2019.

• Stock Repurchase Plan: Subsequent to September 30, 2018, HTA repurchased 289,519 shares of its common stock at an average price of $25.69 per share, for an aggregate amount of approximately $7.4 million under its stock repurchase plan.

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) before: (i) general and administrative expenses; (ii) transaction expenses; (iii) depreciation and amortization expense; (iv) impairment; (v) interest expense and net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments; (vi) gain or loss on sales of real estate; (vii) gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; (viii) income or loss from unconsolidated joint venture; and (ix) other income or expense. HTA believes that NOI provides an accurate measure of the operating performance of its operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with the management of its properties. Additionally, HTA believes that NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). However, HTA’s use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its financial performance. NOI should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from NOI: (i) straight-line rent adjustments; (ii) amortization of below and above market leases/leasehold interests; (iii) notes receivable interest income; and (iv) other GAAP adjustments. Contractual base rent, contractual rent increases, contractual rent concessions and changes in occupancy or lease rates upon commencement and expiration of leases are a primary driver of HTA’s revenue performance. HTA believes that Cash NOI, which removes the impact of straight-line rent adjustments, provides another measurement of the operating performance of its operating assets. Additionally, HTA believes that Cash NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance of REITs. However, HTA’s use of the term Cash NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its financial performance. Cash NOI should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

To facilitate the comparison of Cash NOI between periods, HTA calculates comparable amounts for a subset of its owned and operational properties referred to as “Same-Property”. Same-Property Cash NOI excludes (i) properties which have not been owned and operated by HTA during the entire span of all periods presented and disposed properties, (ii) HTA’s share of unconsolidated joint ventures, (iii) development, redevelopment and land parcels, (iv) properties intended for disposition in the near term which have (a) been approved by the Board of Directors, (b) is actively marketed for sale, and (c) an offer has been received at prices HTA would transact and the sales process is ongoing, and (v) certain non-routine items. Same-Property Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its financial performance. Same-Property Cash NOI should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

(1) For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, other normalizing items included $4.6 million of non-incremental costs related to the Duke acquisition that were included in transaction expenses on HTA’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

HTA computes FFO in accordance with the current standards established by NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate property and impairment write-downs of depreciable assets, plus depreciation and amortization related to investments in real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. HTA presents this non-GAAP financial measure because it considers it an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Historical cost accounting assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen based on market conditions, many industry investors have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, among other items, it provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or loss attributable to common stockholders.

HTA computes Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO: (i) transaction expenses; (ii) gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative financial instruments; (iii) gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) noncontrolling income or loss from partnership units included in diluted shares; and (v) other normalizing items, which include items that are unusual and infrequent in nature. HTA presents this non-GAAP financial measure because it allows for the comparison of its operating performance to other REITs and between periods on a consistent basis. HTA’s methodology for calculating Normalized FFO may be different from the methods utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other REITs. Normalized FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its financial performance, nor is it indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Normalized FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

HTA also computes Normalized FAD, which excludes from Normalized FFO: (i) other income or expense; (ii) non-cash compensation expense; (iii) straight-line rent adjustments; (iv) amortization of below and above market leases/leasehold interests and corporate assets; (v) amortization of deferred financing costs and debt premium/discount; and (vi) recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. HTA believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance. Normalized FAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of its financial performance, nor is it indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Normalized FAD should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
