Scottsdale, Arizona (May 7, 2013) — Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE: HTA) (“HTA”) announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Normalized FFO increased 23.1% to $0.16 per diluted share as compared to Q1 2012, driven by acquisitions and same-property growth.

During the quarter, HTA completed $88.5 million of on-campus acquisitions funded entirely with net proceeds from the equity ATM program. In addition, HTA executed its debut public debt issuance with a $300.0 million unsecured bond priced at a coupon of 3.70% per annum.

Financial Results
Normalized FFO and FFO
Normalized Funds from Operations, or Normalized FFO, was $0.16 per diluted share, or $34.2 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $0.13 per diluted share, or $29.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
FFO was $0.14 per diluted share, or $29.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $0.12 per diluted share, or $27.0 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The first quarter payout ratio was approximately 100% of Normalized FAD.
Rental Income
Rental income increased 9.3% to $75.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $69.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase in rental income was primarily driven by $169.3 million of completed MOB acquisitions since March 31, 2012 and same-property portfolio growth.
NOI
Net Operating Income, or NOI, was $52.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $48.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to the transition of property management and leasing to HTA’s in-house asset management platform.
Interest Expense and Change in the Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest expense and change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $10.9 million, which included $12.5 million of interest expense related to debt and interest rate swaps, which was partially offset by a $1.6 million gain on the change in the fair value of HTA’s derivative financial instruments. During the quarter, HTA paid off the $125.5 million secured real estate term loan.
HTA ended the quarter with a weighted average borrowing cost of 4.19% per annum, inclusive of interest rate swaps. The weighted average remaining term of the debt portfolio increased to 5.9 years from 4.3 years at December 31, 2012.
Net Income or Loss
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $1.4 million, compared to a net loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2013, HTA had total assets of $2.6 billion, cash and cash equivalents of $121.0 million, and $650.0 million available on its unsecured revolving credit facility. The leverage ratio of total debt to total capitalization was 30.1%.
Occupancy & Tenant Retention
The occupancy rate of HTA’s portfolio, including month-to-month leases and leases that have been executed, but which have not yet commenced, was 90.9% by GLA. Tenant retention for the quarter was approximately 85% by GLA.
Credit Rated Tenants
Investment grade rated tenants as a percent of annualized base rent was approximately 42% as of March 31, 2013 and approximately 58% of HTA’s annualized base rent is derived from tenants that have (or whose parent companies have) a credit rating from a nationally recognized rating agency.
In-House Property Management Platform
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, HTA transitioned 2.4 million square feet of GLA to its in-house property management and leasing platform. At the end of the quarter, HTA had approximately 87% of its current GLA managed internally.
Funds from Operations, Normalized Funds from Operations and Funds Available for Distribution
HTA defines FFO, a non-GAAP measure, as net income or loss attributable to controlling interest computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment write downs of depreciable assets, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. HTA presents FFO 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, many which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income or loss attributable to controlling interest. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss attributable to controlling interest (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund HTA’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP have prompted a significant increase in the amount of non-operating items included in FFO, as defined. Therefore, HTA uses Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO acquisition-related expenses, listing expenses, net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments, noncontrolling income from operating partnership units included in diluted shares, acceleration of deferred financing costs, escrow settlement revenue and other normalizing items, to further evaluate how its portfolio might perform after its acquisition stage is complete and the sustainability of its distributions in the future. However, HTA’s use of the term Normalized FFO may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. Normalized FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss attributable controlling interest (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of HTA’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of HTA’s liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund HTA’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. Normalized FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
HTA defines Normalized FAD, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes from Normalized FFO other income, non-cash compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired below and above market leases, deferred revenue - tenant improvement related, amortization of deferred financing costs and recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. HTA believes Normalized FAD provides a meaningful supplemental measure of its ability to fund its ongoing distributions. In order to understand and analyze HTA’s liquidity, Normalized FAD should be compared with cash flow (computed in accordance with GAAP). Normalized FAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss attributable to controlling interest (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of HTA’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of HTA’s liquidity. Normalized FAD should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

Net Operating Income, Cash Net Operating Income and Same-Property Cash Net Operating Income
NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income or loss, computed in accordance with GAAP, generated from HTA’s total portfolio of properties before general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, listing expenses, non-traded REIT expenses, interest expense and net change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, and other income. 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 management of the properties. Additionally, HTA believes that NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate community. However, HTA’s use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount.
Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from NOI straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired below and above market leases and other non-cash and normalizing items. Other non-cash and normalizing items include items such as the amortization of lease inducements, lease termination fees and tenant improvements reimbursements. HTA believes that Cash NOI provides an accurate measure of the operating performance of its operating assets because it excludes certain items that are not associated with management of the properties. Additionally, HTA believes that Cash NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate community. However, HTA’s use of the term Cash NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as such other companies may have different methodologies for computing this amount.
To facilitate the comparison of Cash NOI between periods, HTA calculates comparable amounts for a subset of its owned properties referred to as “same-property.” Same-property amounts are calculated as the amounts attributable to all properties which have been owned and operated by HTA during the entire span of all periods reported, excluding properties held for sale. Therefore, any properties acquired after the first day of the earlier comparison period and any mortgage notes receivable interest income are excluded from same properties.
