“2021 was a momentous year for the Company as we intentionally pivoted our focus to being a pure play healthcare REIT subsequent to the successful sale of the Company’s entire data center portfolio on July 22, 2021,” stated Michael Seton, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. “The significant gain can be seen in our net income and, although FFO and AFFO reflect an impact of not generating rental revenue from the data center properties subsequent to the sale, the Company realized an increase in same store NOI from its healthcare properties, garnered the benefits of a full year’s savings related to the internalization transaction, and recognized a significant decrease in interest expense as a result of the material reduction in leverage using proceeds from the data center sale. We also placed into service and acquired a total of five class A healthcare properties, and completed the sale of two non-strategic healthcare assets, as we continue to focus on curating a strong and diversified healthcare portfolio, in an effort to maximize stockholder value.”
* An explanation of FFO, AFFO, and NOI, as well as reconciliations of such non-United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial measures, which should not be considered alternatives to GAAP measures, to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, is included at the end of this release.

The decrease in financial results during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, is primarily the result of not generating rental revenue from the data center properties subsequent to the sale on July 22, 2021. The decrease in net income was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense due to the payoff of all of the Company's notes payable in connection with the data center portfolio sale.

The Company also disposed of two healthcare properties, located in the St. Louis, MO and Dallas, TX markets, for an aggregate sale price of $13.1 million, which generated net proceeds of $12.6 million and resulted in a gain on sale of the properties of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The Company did not exercise the option to extend. Upon closing of the New Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company extinguished all commitments associated with the prior revolving line of credit.

Use of Non-GAAP Information
Net operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as rental revenue, less rental expenses, which excludes general and administrative expenses, internalization transaction expenses, asset management fees, depreciation and amortization, impairment loss on real estate, impairment loss on goodwill, gain on real estate dispositions, interest and other expense, net, and income from discontinued operations. The Company believes that net operating income serves as a useful supplement to net income because it allows investors and management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies between periods on a consistent basis. Net operating income should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of financial performance, and accordingly, the Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating results, net operating income should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated financial statements and data included on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2022.
The following are reconciliations of net income attributable to common stockholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to net operating income for the three months and years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (amounts in thousands):

The Company generates its net operating income from property operations. In order to evaluate the overall portfolio, management analyzes the net operating income of same store properties. The Company defines "same store properties" as operating properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar periods being compared and excludes properties under development and properties or land classified as held for sale. Activities of one land parcel that formerly contained a healthcare property classified as held for sale that did not meet the criteria of discontinued operations as of December 31, 2021, or the Land Held for Sale, is presented separately in the table below and shows the breakdown of the three
months and year ended December 31, 2021. By evaluating the net operating income of the same store properties, management is able to monitor the operations of the Company's existing properties for comparable periods to measure the performance of the current portfolio and determine the effects of new acquisitions and dispositions on net income.
The following table represents the breakdown of the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, total rental revenue and rental expenses and compares with amounts for the 2020 corresponding periods (amounts in thousands). The Company believes that the below presentation of total rental revenue is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP and allows investors and management to evaluate the Company’s performance.

(1) Tenant reimbursements represent expenses, which are paid back to the Company by a tenant.
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") are non-GAAP financial measures. FFO is calculated using the NAREIT definition: net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and asset impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company does, making comparisons less meaningful. In addition to FFO, the Company uses AFFO as a supplemental financial performance measure because the Company believes it provides to stakeholders a more complete understanding of its sustainable performance. AFFO is a metric used by management to evaluate the Company's dividend policy. The Company calculates AFFO, a non-GAAP measure, by further adjusting FFO for the following items included in the determination of GAAP net income: amortization of above- and below-market leases, along with the net of right-of-use assets- operating leases and right-of-use assets- finance lease, resulting from above-and below-market leases, straight-line rent, acquisition expenses in connection with business combination transactions, discount amortization related to the deferred liability in connection with the internalization transaction, impairment loss on goodwill, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, the Company’s AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs.
FFO and AFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operational performance. The method used to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operating performance and considered more prominent than the non-GAAP FFO and AFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and AFFO.
The following is a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to FFO and AFFO for the three months and years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (amounts in thousands, except share data and per share amounts):

(1)During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company wrote off in-place intangible assets in the amounts of approximately $1.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively, by accelerating the amortization of the acquired intangible assets.
(2) Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed for impairment. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges related to amortization of these intangibles, AFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of
the real estate. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company wrote off an above-market lease intangible asset in the amount of approximately $0.3 million, by accelerating the amortization of the acquired intangible asset and one below-market lease intangible liability in the amount of approximately $2.0 million by accelerating the amortization of the acquired intangible liability
(3) Under GAAP, rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease (including rent holidays, if applicable). This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than the underlying contract terms. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company wrote off approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of straight-line rent. By adjusting for the change in straight-line rent receivable, AFFO may provide useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms, providing insight on the expected contractual cash flows of such lease terms, and aligns with the Company's analysis of operating performance.
(4) Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses related to transactions determined to be business combinations are expensed as incurred. Internalization transaction expenses consisted primarily of legal fees, as well as fees for other professional and financial advisors incurred in connection with the internalization transaction. The Company believes that adjusting for such non-recurring items provides useful supplemental information because such expenses may not be reflective of ongoing operations and aligns with its analysis of operating performance.
(5) During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company wrote off goodwill related to three reporting units in the amount of approximately $0.7 million, which was originally recognized as a part of the internalization transaction on September 30, 2020. The Company believes that adjusting for such non-recurring items provides useful supplemental information because such adjustments may not be reflective of ongoing operations and aligns with its analysis of operating performance.
