The advisory agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by our Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS, that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement was renewed for 2022 with the same terms as the Advisory Agreement in place during 2021 and 2020. Our officers are all employees of UHS through its wholly-owned subsidiary, UHS of Delaware, Inc. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, four of our hospital facilities are leased to wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, one of our hospital facilities is leased to a joint venture between a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and a third party, and subsidiaries of UHS are or will be tenants of twenty medical office buildings (“MOBs”), including one under construction, or free-standing emergency departments, that are either wholly or jointly-owned by us.

In connection with this transaction, we paid approximately $2.8 million in cash to UHS which was the amount by which the fair market values of Aiken Regional Medical Center and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health exceeded the fair market value of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System.  See Note 1 for further details surrounding this transaction.

Other Information    

Included in our portfolio at December 31, 2021 are six acute and behavioral health care hospitals (one of which was substantially completed in late December, 2020 and three of which were acquired as part of an asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS on December 31, 2021, as discussed herein). On a comparative basis, included in our portfolio at December 31, 2020 were four acute and behavioral health care hospitals (excluding the specialty facilities). The leases with respect to these facilities comprised approximately 25% and 22% of our consolidated revenues in 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of January 1, 2022, leases on the six acute and behavioral health care hospitals have fixed terms with an average of 10.6 years remaining and include renewal options ranging from one to seven, five or ten-year terms.

Also included in our portfolio at December 31, 2021 are three specialty facilities which are all currently vacant. The lease on one of these specialty facilities expired on December 31, 2021 and was not renewed. The leases on the other two specialty facilities expired during 2019 and both facilities have been vacant since that time. The revenue generated from the specialty facility lease that expired in 2021 comprised approximately 2% of our consolidated revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021. The remaining lease terms for each hospital or specialty facility, which vary by hospital, are included herein in Item 2. Properties.

We believe a facility’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and lease rental expense (“EBITDAR”) and a facility’s EBITDAR divided by the sum of minimum rent plus additional rent payable to us (“Coverage Ratio”), which are non-GAAP financial measures, are helpful to us and our investors as a measure of the operating performance of a hospital facility. EBITDAR, which is used as an indicator of a facility’s estimated cash flow generated from operations (before rent expense, capital additions and debt service), is used by us in evaluating a facility’s financial viability and its ability to pay rent. For the four occupied hospitals

3

owned by us at the end of 2021 (excluding the three hospitals acquired on December 31, 2021 and including the one hospital that was divested on December 31, 2021), the combined weighted average Coverage Ratio was approximately 7.9 (ranging from -1.4 to 18.4, with the negative Coverage Ratio related to a newly constructed behavioral health care hospital that commenced operations in 2021). For the four occupied hospital or specialty facilities (excluding the newly constructed behavioral health hospital) owned by us at the end of 2020, the combined weighted average Coverage Ratio was approximately 10.3 (ranging from -0.6 to 23.5).  

Pursuant to the terms of the leases for our hospital facilities, free-standing emergency departments, some single-tenant MOBs and the preschool and childcare centers, each lessee, including subsidiaries of UHS, is responsible for building operations, maintenance, renovations and property insurance. We, or the LLCs in which we have invested, are responsible for the building operations, maintenance and renovations of the remaining MOBs, however, a portion, or in some cases all, of the expenses associated with the MOBs are passed on directly to the tenants. Cash reserves may be established to fund required building maintenance and renovations at the multi-tenant MOBs. Lessees are required to maintain all risk, replacement cost and commercial property insurance policies on the leased properties and we, or the LLC in which we have invested, are also named insureds on these policies. In addition, we, UHS or the LLCs in which we have invested, maintain property insurance on all properties. For additional information on the terms of our leases, see “Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc.”

See our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for our total assets, liabilities, debt, revenues, income and other operating information.

Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”)  

Leases:    We commenced operations in 1986 by purchasing certain properties from subsidiaries of UHS and immediately leasing the properties back to the respective subsidiaries. The base rentals and lease and renewal terms for each of the hospitals leased to subsidiaries of UHS as of January 1, 2022 are provided below. The base rents are paid monthly. The lease on McAllen Medical Center also provides for bonus rent which is paid quarterly based upon a computation that compares the hospital’s current quarter revenue to a corresponding quarter in the base year. The hospital leases with subsidiaries of UHS, with the exception of the lease on Clive Behavioral Health Hospital (which is operated by UHS in a joint venture with an unrelated third party), are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another.

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the three acute care and one behavioral health care hospital facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS at December 31, 2021, (McAllen Medical Center, Wellington Regional Medical Center, Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare and Clive Behavioral Health), before giving effect to the December 31, 2021 asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates as discussed below, accounted for approximately 23% of our consolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2021 (approximately 25%, 22% and 22% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively). In addition to these four UHS hospital facilities, we have twenty properties consisting of MOBs (including one under construction) and FEDs that are either wholly or jointly-owned by us that include, or will include, tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS.  The aggregate revenues generated from UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 32% of our consolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2021 (approximately 37%, 33% and 31% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively).

On December 31, 2021, we  entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates pursuant to the terms of which:

• a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased from us, the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System located in Wildomar, California, at its fair market value of $79.6 million.

• two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS transferred to us, the real estate assets of the following properties:

o Aiken Regional Medical Center, (“Aiken”), located in Aiken, South Carolina (which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion), at its fair-market value of approximately $57.7 million, and;

o Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”), located in Temple, Texas, at its fair-market value of approximately $24.7 million.

• in connection with this transaction, since the fair-market value of Aiken and Canyon Creek, which totaled approximately $82.4 million in the aggregate, exceeded the $79.6 million fair-market value of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System, we paid approximately $2.8 million in cash to UHS.  This transaction generated a gain of approximately $68.4 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021.

We have accounted for the asset sale and purchase agreement with UHS as a financing arrangement and our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 reflects a financing receivable for the $82.4 million fair market value of the real estate assets

4

that we received as part of the transaction. Additionally, we structured the purchase and sale of the above-mentioned properties as a like-kind exchange of property under the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Also on December 31, 2021, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases (with us as lessor), for initial lease terms on each property of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. Subject to the terms of the master lease, Aiken and Canyon Creek have the right to renew their leases, at the then current fair market rent (as defined in the master lease), for seven, five-year optional renewal terms. The aggregate annual rental during 2022 pursuant to the leases for these two facilities, which is payable to us on a monthly basis, amounts to approximately $5.6 million (consisting of $3.9 million related to Aiken and $1.7 million related to Canyon Creek). There is no bonus rental component applicable to either of these leases. Beginning on January 1, 2023, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2033, the annual rental will increase by 2.25% on a cumulative and compounded basis. Pursuant to the terms of the lease on the Inland Valley Campus, we earned $4.5 million of lease revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.9 million in bonus rental) and $4.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.8 million in bonus rental).

Pursuant to the terms of the two master leases by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 and December 31, 2021 (the “Master Leases”), which govern the leases of McAllen Medical Center, Wellington Regional Medical Center (governed by the Master Lease dated December 24, 1986), Aiken Regional Medical Center and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (governed by the Master Lease dated December 31, 2021), all of which are hospital properties that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the option, among other things, to renew the leases at the lease terms described below by providing notice to us at least 90 days prior to the termination of the then current term. UHS also has the right to purchase the respective leased facilities from us at their appraised fair market value upon any of the following: (i) at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms; (ii) upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, or; (iii) within the time period as specified in the leases in the event that UHS provides notice to us of their intent to offer a substitution property/properties in exchange for one (or more) of the four wholly-owned UHS hospital facilities leased from us, should we be unable to reach an agreement with UHS on the properties to be substituted. Additionally, UHS has rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for 180 days after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for 180 days after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer.   

In addition, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS is the managing, majority member in a joint-venture with an unrelated third-party that operates, and leases from us, Clive Behavioral Health.  This 100-bed behavioral health care facility is located in Clive, Iowa and was completed and opened in late December, 2020 and the hospital lease commenced on December 31, 2020.  Pursuant to the terms of the lease, we earned $2.5 million of lease revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021. The lease on this facility is a triple net lease and has an initial term of 20 years with five 10-year renewal options. Beginning on January 1, 2022, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2040 (and potentially through 2070 if the first three of five, 10-year renewal options are exercised), the annual rental will increase by 2.75% on a cumulative and compounded basis. The first three of the five 10-year renewal options will provide for annual rental as stipulated in the lease (2041 through 2070) and the two additional 10-year lease renewal options will be at fair market value lease rates (2071 through 2090). Pursuant to the terms of the lease on this facility, the joint venture has the option to, among other things, renew the lease at the terms specified in the lease agreement by providing notice to us at least 270 days prior to the termination of the then current term. The joint venture also has the right to purchase the leased facility from us at its appraised fair market value upon either of the following: (i) by providing notice at least 270 days prior to the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms, or; (ii) upon 30 days’ notice anytime within 12 months of a change of control of the Trust (UHS also has this right should the joint venture decline to exercise its purchase right). Additionally, the joint venture has rights of first offer to purchase the facility prior to any third-party sale.

The table below details the existing lease terms and renewal options for each of the hospital leases that are related to UHS as of January 1, 2022, consisting of three acute care hospitals and three behavioral health hospitals:

Hospital Name	Annual Minimum Rent		End of Lease Term	Renewal Term (years)
McAllen Medical Center	$	5,485,000	December, 2026	5 (a)
Wellington Regional Medical Center	$	6,319,000	December, 2026	5 (b)
Aiken Regional Medical Center/Aurora Pavilion Behavioral Health Services	$	3,895,000	December, 2033	35 (c)
Canyon Creek Behavioral Health	$	1,670,000	December, 2033	35 (c)
Clive Behavioral Health Hospital	$	2,628,000	December, 2040	50 (d)

(a) UHS has one 5-year renewal option at existing lease rates (through 2031).

(b) UHS has one 5-year renewal option at fair market value lease rates (through 2031; see additional disclosure below).

(c) UHS has seven 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2034 through 2068).

5

(d) The UHS-related joint venture has five 10-year renewal options; the first three of the five 10-year renewal options will be at computed lease rates as stipulated in the lease (2041 through 2070) and the last two 10-year renewal options will be at fair market lease rates (2071 through 2090).

Upon the December 31, 2021 expiration of the lease on Wellington Regional Medical Center located in West Palm Beach, Florida, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS exercised its fair market value renewal option and renewed the lease for a 5-year term scheduled to expire on December 31, 2026.  Effective January 1, 2022, the annual fair market value lease rate for this hospital, which is payable to us monthly, is $6.3 million (there is no longer a bonus rental component of the lease payment). Beginning on January 1, 2023, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2026, the annual rent will increase by 2.50% on a cumulative and compounded basis.  Pursuant to the terms of the hospital’s previous lease, we earned aggregate lease revenue of $5.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, (consisting of $3.0 million of base rental and $2.5 million of bonus rental) and $5.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (consisting of $3.0 million of base rental and $2.1 million of bonus rental).  

Management cannot predict whether the leases with wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, which have renewal options at existing lease rates or fair market value lease rates, or any of our other leases, will be renewed at the end of their lease term. If the leases are not renewed at their current rates or the fair market value lease rates, we would be required to find other operators for those facilities and/or enter into leases on terms potentially less favorable to us than the current leases. In addition, if subsidiaries of UHS exercise their options to purchase the respective leased hospital or FED facilities upon expiration of the lease terms, our future revenues could decrease if we were unable to earn a favorable rate of return on the sale proceeds received, as compared to the rental revenue currently earned pursuant to these leases.  

In January, 2022, we entered into a ground lease and master flex-lease agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS with the intent to develop, construct and own the real property of Sierra Medical Plaza I, an MOB located in Reno, Nevada, consisting of approximately 86,000 rentable square feet. This MOB will be located on the campus of the Northern Nevada Sierra Medical Center, a newly constructed hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which is scheduled to be completed and opened during the first quarter of 2022. Construction of this MOB, for which we have engaged a non-related third party to act as construction manager, commenced in January, 2022. The cost of the MOB is estimated to be approximately $34 million. The master flex lease agreement, which is subject to reduction based upon the execution of third-party leases, is for approximately 68% of the rentable square feet of the MOB.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we purchased the 5% minority ownership interest held by a third-party member in Grayson Properties, LP which owns the Texoma Medical Plaza, an MOB located in Denison, Texas for approximately $3.1 million. The MOB is located on the campus of Texoma Medical Center, a hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. A third-party appraisal was completed to determine the fair value of the property.  As a result of this minority ownership purchase during the fourth quarter of 2021, we own 100% of the LP and are therefore consolidating this LP effective with the purchase date.  We do not expect a material impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of this LP subsequent to the transaction.  Please see Note 5 for additional disclosure surrounding this transaction.

In May, 2021, we acquired the Fire Mesa office building located in Las Vegas, Nevada for a purchase price of approximately $12.9 million.  The building is 100% leased under the terms of a triple net lease by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.  The initial lease is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2027 and has two five-year renewal options.  As discussed in Note 4, the acquisition of this office building is part of a series of planned tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

In September 2019, we entered into an agreement whereby we own a 95% non-controlling ownership interest in Grayson Properties II L.P., which developed, constructed, owns and operates the Texoma Medical Plaza II, an MOB located in Denison, Texas.  This MOB, which was substantially completed in December 2020, is located on the campus of Texoma Medical Center, a hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.  A 10-year master flex lease was executed with the wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS for over 50% of the rentable square feet of the MOB and commenced in December 2020 upon the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. We account for this LP on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since it is not a variable interest entity and we do not have a controlling voting interest.    

We are the lessee on twelve ground leases with subsidiaries of UHS (for consolidated and unconsolidated investments).  The remaining lease terms on the ground leases with subsidiaries of UHS range from approximately 28 years to approximately 77 years.  The annual aggregate lease payments on these properties are approximately $508,000 for the year ended 2021 and $508,000 for each of the years ended 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and an aggregate of $29.0 million thereafter. See Note 4 for further disclosure around our lease accounting.

Officers and Employees:    Our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and although as of December 31, 2021 we had no salaried employees, our officers do typically receive annual stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock. In special circumstances, if warranted and deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, our officers may also receive one-time compensation awards in the form of restricted stock, and/or cash bonuses.

Advisory Agreement:    UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to us under an advisory agreement dated December 24, 1986, and as amended and restated as of January 1, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. All transactions between us and UHS must be approved by the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS (the “Independent Trustees”). In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees, that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory.  The Advisory Agreement was renewed for 2022 with the same terms as the Advisory Agreement in place during 2021 and 2020.

Our advisory fee for 2021, 2020 and 2019 was computed at 0.70% of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheet.  Based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses, as compared to an industry peer group, the advisory fee computation remained unchanged for 2021, as compared to the last three years. The average real estate assets for advisory fee calculation purposes exclude certain items from our consolidated balance sheet such as, among other things, accumulated depreciation, cash and cash equivalents, lease receivables, deferred charges and other assets. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year-end based upon our audited financial statements. Advisory fees incurred and paid (or payable) to UHS amounted to $4.4 million during 2021, $4.1 million during 2020 and $4.0 million during 2019 and were based upon average invested real estate assets of $629 million, $592 million and $568 million during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Share Ownership:    As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, UHS owned 5.7% of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest.

SEC reporting requirements of UHS:    UHS is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is required to file annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. Since the aggregate revenues generated from UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 32% of our consolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2021 (approximately 37%, 33% and 31% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively), and since a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor, you are encouraged to obtain the publicly available filings for Universal Health Services, Inc. from the SEC’s website. These filings are the sole responsibility of UHS and are not incorporated by reference herein.  Please see the heading “A substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator. If UHS experiences financial difficulties, or otherwise fails to make payments to us, or elects not to renew the leases on our three acute care hospitals, our revenues could be materially reduced” under “Risk Factors” for more information.

Taxation

No provision has been made for federal income tax purposes since we qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and intend to continue to remain so qualified. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to shareholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal, state or local income tax on income that we distribute as dividends to our shareholders.

Please see the heading “If we fail to maintain our REIT status, we will become subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates” under “Risk Factors” for more information.

Competition

We compete for the acquisition, leasing and financing of health care related facilities. Our competitors include, but are not limited to, other REITs, private investors and firms, banks and other companies, including UHS. Some of these competitors are larger and may have a lower cost of capital than we do. These developments could result in fewer investment opportunities for us and lower spreads over the cost of our capital, which would hurt our growth.

In most geographical areas in which our facilities operate, there are other facilities that provide services comparable to those offered by our facilities. In addition, some competing facilities are owned by tax-supported governmental agencies or by nonprofit corporations and may be supported by endowments and charitable contributions and exempt from property, sales and income taxes. Such exemptions and support are not available to certain operators of our facilities, including UHS. In some markets, certain competing facilities may have greater financial resources, be better equipped and offer a broader range of services than those available

7

at our facilities. Certain hospitals that are located in the areas served by our facilities are specialty hospitals that provide medical, surgical and behavioral health services that may not be provided by the operators of our hospitals. The increase in outpatient treatment and diagnostic facilities, ambulatory surgical centers and freestanding emergency departments also increases competition for us.

In addition, the number and quality of the physicians on a hospital’s staff are important factors in determining a hospital’s success and competitive advantage. Typically, physicians are responsible for making hospital admission decisions and for directing the course of patient treatment. The operators of our facilities also compete with other health care providers in recruiting and retaining qualified hospital management, nurses and other medical personnel. From time-to-time, the operators of our acute care hospitals may experience the effects of a shortage of skilled nursing staff nationwide, which has caused and may continue to cause an increase in salaries, wages and benefits expense in excess of the inflation rate. Our operators may experience difficulties attracting and retaining qualified physicians, nurses and medical support personnel. We anticipate that our operators, including UHS, will continue to encounter increased competition in the future that could lead to a decline in patient volumes and harm their businesses, which in turn, could harm our business.

A large portion of our non-hospital properties consist of MOBs which are located either close to or on the campuses of hospital facilities. These properties are either directly or indirectly affected by the factors discussed above as well as general real estate factors such as the supply and demand of office space and market rental rates. To improve our competitive position, we anticipate that we will continue investing in additional healthcare related facilities and leasing the facilities to qualified operators, perhaps including subsidiaries of UHS.

Regulation and Other Factors

During each of the years of 2021, 2020 and 2019, approximately 25% of our revenues were earned pursuant to leases with operators of acute care hospitals, behavioral health care hospitals and free-standing emergency departments (“FEDs”), the substantial majority of which are subsidiaries of UHS. A significant portion of the revenue earned by the operators of our acute and behavioral health care hospitals and FEDs is derived from federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid (excluding managed Medicare and Medicaid programs).

Our acute care facilities and behavioral health care hospitals derive a significant portion of their revenue from third-party payors, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Changes in these government programs in recent years have resulted in limitations on reimbursement and, in some cases, reduced levels of reimbursement for healthcare services. Payments from federal and state government programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations and determinations, requirements for utilization review, and federal and state funding restrictions, all of which could materially increase or decrease program payments, as well as affect the cost of providing service to patients and the timing of payments to facilities. Neither we nor the operators of our hospital facilities are able to predict the effect of recent and future policy changes on our respective results of operations. In addition, the uncertainty and fiscal pressures placed upon federal and state governments as a result of, among other things, the funding requirements and other provisions of the Legislation, may affect the availability of taxpayer funds for Medicare and Medicaid programs.  In addition, possible repeal or replacement of the Legislation may have significant impact on the reimbursement for healthcare services.

On December 14, 2018, a Texas Federal District Court declared the Legislation to be unconstitutional in its entirety. The Court concluded that the Individual Mandate is no longer permissible under Congress’s taxing power as a result of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) reducing the Individual Mandate’s tax to $0 (i.e., it no longer produces revenue, which is an essential feature of a tax), rendering the Legislation unconstitutional.  The court also held that because the individual mandate is “essential” to the Legislation and is inseverable from the rest of the law, the entire Legislation is unconstitutional. Because the court issued a declaratory judgment and did not enjoin the law, the Legislation remains in place pending its appeal.  The District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruling was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On December 18, 2019, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals’ three-judge panel voted 2-1 to strike down the Legislation individual mandate as unconstitutional. The 5^th Circuit Court also sent the case back to the Texas district court to determine which Legislation provisions should be stricken with the mandate. The U.S. Supreme Court heard appeals and ultimately held in California v. Texas that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the Legislation’s requirement to obtain minimum essential health insurance coverage, or the individual mandate.  The Court dismissed the case without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the Legislation. As a result, the Legislation will continue to remain law, in its entirety, likely for the foreseeable future. While the results of the 2020 elections potentially reduce the risk of the Legislation being eliminated in whole or in part, the continued uncertainties regarding implementation of the Legislation create unpredictability for the strategic and business planning efforts of health care providers, which in itself constitutes a risk. If the rates paid or the scope of services covered by government payors are reduced, there could be a material adverse effect on the business, financial position and results of operations of the operators of our hospital facilities, and in turn, ours.

8

In addition, the healthcare industry is required to comply with extensive and complex laws and regulations at the federal, state and local government levels relating to, among other things: hospital billing practices and prices for services; relationships with physicians and other referral sources; adequacy of medical care and quality of medical equipment and services; ownership of facilities; qualifications of medical and support personnel; confidentiality, maintenance, privacy and security issues associated with health-related information and patient medical records; the screening, stabilization and transfer, by hospitals with an emergency department, of patients who have emergency medical conditions; certification, licensure and accreditation of our facilities; operating policies and procedures, and; construction or expansion of facilities and services.

These laws and regulations are extremely complex, and, in many cases, the operators of our facilities do not have the benefit of regulatory or judicial interpretation. In the future, it is possible that different interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations could subject the current or past practices of our operators to allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require them to make changes in their facilities, equipment, personnel, services, capital expenditure programs and operating expenses. Although UHS and other operators of our hospitals and FEDs believe that their policies, procedures and practices comply with governmental regulations, no assurance can be given that they will not be subjected to additional governmental inquiries or actions, or that they would not be faced with sanctions, fines or penalties if so subjected. Even if they were to ultimately prevail, a significant governmental inquiry or action under one of the above laws, regulations or rules could have a material adverse effect upon them, and in turn, us.

Each of our hospital facilities is deemed certified, meaning that they are accredited, properly licensed under the relevant state laws and regulations and certified under the Medicare program. The effect of maintaining certified facilities is to allow such facilities to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The operators of our hospital facilities believe that the facilities are in material compliance with applicable federal, state, local and other relevant regulations and standards. However, should any of our hospital facilities lose their deemed certified status and thereby lose certification under the Medicare or Medicaid programs, such facilities would be unable to receive reimbursement from either of those programs and their business, and in turn, ours, could be materially adversely affected.

The various factors and government regulation related to the healthcare industry, such as those outlined above, affect us because:

(i) The financial ability of lessees to make rent payments to us may be affected by governmental regulations such as licensure, certification for participation in government programs, and government reimbursement, and;

(ii) Our bonus rent on the acute care hospitals operated by a subsidiary of UHS is based on the lessee’s net revenue which in turn is affected by the amount of reimbursement the lessee receives from the government.

A significant portion of the revenue earned by the operators of our acute care hospitals, behavioral health care hospitals and FEDs is derived from federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Under the statutory framework of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, many of the general acute care operations are subject to administrative rulings, interpretations and discretion that may affect payments made under either or both of such programs as well as by other third party payors. The federal government makes payments to participating hospitals under its Medicare program based on various formulas. For inpatient services, the operators of our acute care hospitals are subject to an inpatient prospective payment system (“IPPS”). Under IPPS, hospitals are paid a predetermined fixed payment amount for each hospital discharge. The fixed payment amount is based upon each patient’s Medicare severity diagnosis related group (“MS-DRG”). Every MS-DRG is assigned a payment rate based upon the estimated intensity of hospital resources necessary to treat the average patient with that particular diagnosis. These rates are based upon historical national average costs and do not consider the actual costs incurred by a hospital in providing care. The MS-DRG rates are adjusted annually based on geographic region and are weighted based upon a statistically normal distribution of severity.

For outpatient services, acute care hospitals are paid under an outpatient prospective payment system (“PPS”) according to ambulatory procedure codes. The outpatient PPS rate is a geographic adjusted national payment amount that includes the Medicare payment and the beneficiary co-payment. Special payments under the outpatient PPS may be made for certain new technology items and services through transitional pass-through payments and special reimbursement rates.

Our three acute care hospitals, three behavioral health care facilities and two FEDs operated by subsidiaries of UHS, as well as two FEDs operated by unaffiliated third-parties are located in Texas, Florida, California, Virginia, Illinois, South Carolina and Iowa. The majority of these states have reported significant budget deficits that have resulted in reductions of Medicaid funding at various times during the last few years and which could adversely affect future levels of Medicaid reimbursement received by certain operators of our facilities, including the operators of our hospital facilities. We can provide no assurance that reductions to Medicaid revenues earned by operators of certain of our facilities, particularly our hospital operators in the above-mentioned states, will not have a material adverse effect on the future operating results of those operators which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on us.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, many of which are described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Any of the events described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are not aware of, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, could also impact our business and results of operations.

Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 and other pandemics, epidemics, or public health threats may adversely affect the business of our tenants, our business, and our results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to risks associated with public health threats and epidemics, including the health concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and the federal government declared COVID-19 a national emergency. As a result of various policies implemented by the federal and state governments, and varying by individual state, many non-essential businesses in the nation were closed for varying time periods.  

The COVID-19 vaccination process commenced during the first quarter of 2021. Since that time through the second quarter of 2021, the operators of our acute care hospitals had generally experienced a decline in COVID-19 patients as well as a corresponding recovery in non-COVID patient activity.  However, during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, and continuing into the first quarter of 2022, the operators of our acute care hospitals and certain other facilities generally experienced an increase in COVID-19 patients resulting from the Delta and, more recently, the highly transmissible Omicron variants. Booster doses for COVID-19 vaccinations began during the third quarter of 2021, and while we expect the administration of vaccines booster doses will assist in easing the number of COVID-19 patients, the pace at which this is likely to occur is very difficult to predict.

Although COVID-19 has not had a material adverse impact on our results of operations through December 31, 2021, we believe that the potentially adverse impact that the pandemic may have on the future operations and financial results of our tenants, and in turn ours, will depend upon many factors, most of which are beyond our, or our tenants’, ability to control or predict.  Such factors include, but are not limited to, the length of time and severity of the spread of the pandemic; the volume of cancelled or rescheduled elective procedures and the volume of COVID-19 patients treated by the operators of our hospitals and other healthcare facilities; measures our tenants are taking to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic; the impact of government and administrative regulation, including

10

travel bans and restrictions, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders, quarantines, the promotion of social distancing, business shutdowns and limitations on business activity; changes in patient volumes at our tenants’ hospitals and other healthcare facilities due to patients’ general concerns related to the risk of contracting COVID-19 from interacting with the healthcare system; the impact of stimulus on the health care industry and our tenants; changes in patient volumes and payer mix caused by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions (including increases in uninsured and underinsured patients as the result of business closings and layoffs); potential disruptions to clinical staffing and shortages and disruptions related to supplies required for our tenants’ employees and patients, including equipment, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, particularly personal protective equipment, or PPE; potential increases to expenses incurred by our tenants related to staffing, supply chain or other expenditures; the impact of our indebtedness and the ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms; disruptions in the financial markets and the business of financial institutions as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact our ability to access capital or increase associated borrowing costs; and changes in general economic conditions nationally and regionally in the markets our properties are located resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased unemployment and underemployment levels and reduced consumer spending and confidence. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the future business, financial position and results of operations of the operators of our facilities, and in turn, ours.

In addition, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued an Interim Final Rule (“IFR”) effective November 5, 2021 mandating COVID-19 vaccinations for all applicable staff at all Medicare and Medicaid certified facilities. Under the IRS, facilities covered by this regulation must establish a policy ensuring all eligible staff have received the first dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine or a one-dose COVID-19 vaccine prior to providing any care, treatment, or other services by December 5, 2021. All eligible staff must have received the necessary shots to be fully vaccinated – either two doses of Pfizer or Moderna or one dose of Johnson & Johnson – by January 4, 2022. The regulation also provides for exemptions based on recognized medical conditions or religious beliefs, observances, or practices. Under the IFR, facilities must develop a similar process or plan for permitting exemptions in alignment with federal law. If facilities fail to comply with the IFR by the deadlines established, they are subject to potential termination from the Medicare and Medicaid program for non-compliance.  In addition, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration also issued an Emergency Temporary Standard (“ETS”) requiring all businesses with 100 or more employees to be vaccinated by January 4, 2022.  Pursuant to the ETS, those employees not vaccinated by that date will need to show a negative COVID-19 test weekly and wear a face mask in the workplace.  Legal challenges to these rules ensued, and the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld a stay of the ETS requirements but permitted the IFR vaccination requirements to go into effect pending additional litigation. CMS has indicated that hospitals in states not involved in the Supreme Court litigation are expected to be in compliance with IFR vaccination requirements consistent with the dates referenced above. Hospitals in states that were involved in the Supreme Court litigation must now come into compliance with first dose requirements by February 13, 2022 and second dose requirements by March 15, 2022.  Hospitals in Texas continue to not be subject to the IFR, pending the resolution of additional litigation there.  We cannot predict at this time the potential viability or impact of any such additional litigation on us or the operators of our facilities. Implementation of these rules could have an impact on staffing at the operators of our facilities for those employees that are not vaccinated in accordance with IFR and ETS requirements, and associated loss of revenues and increased costs resulting from staffing issues could have a material adverse effect on our financial results or those of the operators.

Pursuant to the lease on McAllen Medical Center, which is leased to wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, we earn bonus rental revenue which is computed based upon a computation that compares the hospital’s current quarter revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base year. We could therefore experience significant decline in future bonus rental revenue earned on this property should the hospital experience a significant decline in patient volumes and revenues.

Certain factors may result in the inability or unwillingness on the part of some of our tenants to make timely payment of their rent to us at current levels or to seek to amend or terminate their leases which, in turn, would have an adverse effect on our occupancy levels and our revenue and cash flow and the value of our properties, and potentially, our ability to maintain our dividend at current levels. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and its impact on the economy, we may experience a decrease in prospective tenants which could unfavorably impact the volume of new leases, as well as the renewal rate of existing leases. The COVID-19 pandemic could also impact our indebtedness and the ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms, as well as risks associated with disruptions in the financial markets and the business of financial institutions as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact us from a financing perspective; and changes in general economic conditions nationally and regionally in the markets our properties are located resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Decreases in cash flows and results of operations may have an impact on the inputs and assumptions used in significant accounting estimates, including potential impairments of intangible and long-lived assets.

There is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the implementation and impact of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (the “PPPHCE Act”) and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “ARPA”), which could impact the total amount and types of assistance and benefits our tenants will receive.

Recent legislation, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (the “PPPHCE Act”) and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the

11

“ARPA”), has provided grant funding to hospitals and other healthcare providers to assist them during the COVID-19 pandemic.  There is a high degree of uncertainty surrounding the implementation of the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act, and the federal government may consider additional stimulus and relief efforts, but we are unable to predict whether additional stimulus measures will be enacted or their impact.  There can be no assurance as to the total amount of financial and other types of assistance our tenants will receive under the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act and the ARPA, and it is difficult to predict the impact of such legislation on our tenants’ operations or how they will affect operations of our tenants’ competitors.  There can be no assurance as to whether our tenants would be required to repay any previously granted funding, due to noncompliance with grant terms or otherwise. Moreover, we are unable to assess the extent to which anticipated negative impacts on our tenants (and, in turn, us) arising from the COVID-19 pandemic will be offset by amounts or benefits received or to be received under the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act and the ARPA.

Risks Related to the Regulatory Environment

The revenues and results of operations of the tenants of our hospital facilities, including UHS, and our medical office buildings, are significantly affected by payments received from the government and other third-party payors.

The operators of our hospital facilities, FEDs and tenants of our medical office buildings derive a significant portion of their revenue from third party payors, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Changes in these government programs in recent years have resulted in limitations on reimbursement and, in some cases, reduced levels of reimbursement for health care services. Payments from federal and state government programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations and determinations, requirements for utilization review, and federal and state funding restrictions, all of which could materially increase or decrease program payments, as well as affect the cost of providing service to patients and the timing of payments to facilities. Our tenants are unable to predict the effect of recent and future policy changes on their operations.

Three of our acute care hospitals, three of our behavioral health hospitals and two FEDs operated by wholly-owned subsidiaries or joint ventures of UHS, as well as two FEDs operated by unaffiliated third parties are located in Texas, Florida, California, Virginia and Illinois, Iowa and South Carolina. The majority of these states have reported significant budget deficits that have resulted in reductions of Medicaid funding at various times during the last few years and which could adversely affect future levels of Medicaid reimbursement received by certain operators of our facilities, including the operators of our hospital facilities. We can provide no assurance that reductions to Medicaid revenues earned by operators of certain of our facilities, particularly our hospital operators in the above-mentioned states, will not have a material adverse effect on the future operating results of those operators which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, the uncertainty and fiscal pressures placed upon federal and state governments as a result of, among other things, the funding requirements and other provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, may affect the availability of taxpayer funds for Medicare and Medicaid programs. If the rates paid or the scope of services covered by government payors are reduced, there could be a material adverse effect on the business, financial position and results of operations of the operators of our hospital facilities, and in turn, ours.

In addition to changes in government reimbursement programs, the ability of our hospital operators to negotiate favorable contracts with private payors, including managed care organizations, significantly affects the revenues and operating results of those facilities. Private payors, including managed care organizations, increasingly are demanding that hospitals accept lower rates of payment. Our hospital operators expect continued third-party efforts to aggressively manage reimbursement levels and cost controls. Reductions in reimbursement amounts received from third party payors could have a material adverse effect on the financial position and results of operations of our hospital operators.

Reductions or changes in Medicare and Medicaid funding could have a material adverse effect on the future operating results of the operators of our facilities, including UHS, which could, in turn, materially reduce our revenues and net income.

The Budget Control Act of 2011 (the “Budget Control Act”) mandated significant reductions in federal spending for fiscal years 2012-2021, including a reduction of 2% on all Medicare payments during this period. Subsequent legislation enacted by Congress eliminated the 2% reduction through 2021 but extended these reductions through 2030 in exchange. The most recent legislation extended the payment reduction suspension through March 31, 2022, with a 1% payment reduction from then until June 30, 2022 and the full 2% payment reduction thereafter.

Beginning in 2024 and continuing through 2027, the Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (“DSH”) allotment to the states from federal funds will be reduced. Such reductions have been delayed several times, most recently under the CAA, which further delays the DSH through 2024. During the reduction period, state Medicaid DSH allotments from federal funds will be reduced by $8 billion annually. Reductions are imposed on states based on percentage of uninsured individuals, Medicaid utilization and uncompensated care. We cannot predict the effect these payment policies will have on operators (including UHS), and, thus, our business.

12

The uncertainties of health care reform could materially affect the business and future results of operations of the operators of our facilities, including UHS, which could, in turn, materially reduce our revenues and net income.

On March 23, 2010 President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Legislation”). The Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Reconciliation Act”), which contains a number of amendments to the Legislation, was signed into law on March 30, 2010. Two primary goals of the Legislation, combined with the Reconciliation Act (collectively referred to as the “Legislation”), are to provide for increased access to coverage for healthcare and to reduce healthcare-related expenses.

Although it was expected that the Legislation would result in a reduction in uninsured patients in the U.S., which would reduce the operators’ of our facilities’ expense from uncollectible accounts receivable, the Legislation made a number of other changes to Medicare and Medicaid which we believe may have an adverse impact on the operators of our facilities. It has been projected that the Legislation will result in a net reduction in Medicare and Medicaid payments to hospitals totaling $155 billion over 10 years. The Legislation revises reimbursement under the Medicare and Medicaid programs to emphasize the efficient delivery of high quality care and contains a number of incentives and penalties under these programs to achieve these goals. The Legislation provided for decreases in the annual market basket update for federal fiscal years 2010 through 2019, a productivity offset to the market basket update beginning October 1, 2011 for Medicare Part B reimbursable items and services and beginning October 1, 2012 for Medicare inpatient hospital services. The Legislation and subsequent revisions provide for reductions to both Medicare DSH and Medicaid DSH payments. The Medicare DSH reductions began in October, 2013 while Medicaid DSH reimbursements are scheduled to begin in 2024. The Legislation implements a value-based purchasing program, which will reward the delivery of efficient care. Conversely, certain facilities will receive reduced reimbursement for failing to meet quality parameters; such hospitals will include those with excessive readmission or hospital-acquired condition rates.

A 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling limited the federal government’s ability to expand health insurance coverage by holding unconstitutional sections of the Legislation that sought to withdraw federal funding for state noncompliance with certain Medicaid coverage requirements. Pursuant to that decision, the federal government may not penalize states that choose not to participate in the Medicaid expansion program by reducing their existing Medicaid funding. Therefore, states can choose to accept or not to participate without risking the loss of federal Medicaid funding. As a result, many states, including Texas, have not expanded their Medicaid programs without the threat of loss of federal funding.  The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) had granted section 1115 demonstration waivers providing for work and community engagement requirements for certain Medicaid eligible individuals. However, most recently, the Biden Administration has expressed disfavor with Medicaid program work requirements, with the understanding that such requirements pose a substantial risk that many potential demonstration beneficiaries would be prevented from initially enrolling in coverage or that the requirements would lead to a sizable number of eligibility suspensions and eventual disenrollments among beneficiaries who are initially able to enroll. Accordingly, CMS has recently revoked certain State Medicaid program approvals including work requirements.

The various provisions in the Legislation that directly or indirectly affect Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement are scheduled to take effect over a number of years. The impact of the Legislation on healthcare providers will be subject to implementing regulations, interpretive guidance and possible future legislation or legal challenges. Certain Legislation provisions, such as that creating the Medicare Shared Savings Program create uncertainty in how healthcare may be reimbursed by federal programs in the future. Thus, at this time, we cannot predict the impact of the Legislation on the future reimbursement of our hospital operators and we can provide no assurance that the Legislation will not have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations of the tenants/operators of our properties and, thus, our business.

The Legislation also contained provisions aimed at reducing fraud and abuse in healthcare. The Legislation amends several existing laws, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and the False Claims Act, making it easier for government agencies and private plaintiffs to prevail in lawsuits brought against healthcare providers. While Congress had previously revised the intent requirement of the Anti-Kickback Statute to provide that a person is not required to “have actual knowledge or specific intent to commit a violation of” the Anti-Kickback Statute in order to be found in violation of such law, the Legislation also provides that any claims for items or services that violate the Anti-Kickback Statute are also considered false claims for purposes of the federal civil False Claims Act. The Legislation provides that a healthcare provider that retains an overpayment in excess of 60 days is subject to the federal civil False Claims Act, although certain final regulations implementing this statutory requirement remain pending. The Legislation also expands the Recovery Audit Contractor program to Medicaid. These amendments also make it easier for severe fines and penalties to be imposed on healthcare providers that violate applicable laws and regulations.

The impact of the Legislation on hospitals may vary. Because Legislation provisions are effective at various times over the next several years, we anticipate that many of the provisions in the Legislation may be subject to further revision. Initiatives to repeal the Legislation, in whole or in part, to delay elements of implementation or funding, and to offer amendments or supplements to modify its provisions have been persistent.  The ultimate outcomes of legislative attempts to repeal or amend the Legislation and legal

13

challenges to the Legislation are unknown.  Legislation has already been enacted that has eliminated the penalty for failing to maintain health coverage that was part of the original Legislation. In addition, Congress has considered legislation that would, if enacted, in material part (i) eliminate the large employer mandates to obtain or provide health insurance coverage, respectively; (ii) permit insurers to impose a surcharge up to 30 percent on individuals who go uninsured for more than two months and then purchase coverage; (iii) provide tax credits towards the purchase of health insurance, with a phase-out of tax credits according to income level; (iv) expand health savings accounts; (v) impose a per capita cap on federal funding of state Medicaid programs, or, if elected by a state, transition federal funding to block grants, and; (vi) permit states to seek a waiver of certain federal requirements that would allow such state to define essential health benefits differently from federal standards and that would allow certain commercial health plans to take health status, including pre-existing conditions, into account in setting premiums.  

In addition to legislative changes, the Legislation can be significantly impacted by executive branch actions. President Biden is expected to undertake executive actions that will strengthen the Legislation and may reverse the policies of the prior administration. The Trump Administration had directed the issuance of final rules (i) enabling the formation of association health plans that would be exempt from certain Legislation requirements such as the provision of essential health benefits; (ii) expanding the availability of short-term, limited duration health insurance, (iii) eliminating cost-sharing reduction payments to insurers that would otherwise offset deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses for health plan enrollees at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level; (iv) relaxing requirements for state innovation waivers that could reduce enrollment in the individual and small group markets and lead to additional enrollment in short-term, limited duration insurance and association health plans; and (v) incentivizing the use of health reimbursement accounts by employers to permit employees to purchase health insurance in the individual market.  The uncertainty resulting from these Executive Branch policies has led to reduced Exchange enrollment in 2018 and 2019 and is expected to further worsen the individual and small group market risk pools in future years.  It is also anticipated that these and future policies may create additional cost and reimbursement pressures on hospitals.  

It remains unclear what portions of the Legislation may remain, or what any replacement or alternative programs may be created by any future legislation.  Any such future repeal or replacement may have significant impact on the reimbursement for healthcare services generally and may create reimbursement for services competing with the services offered by the operators of our hospitals.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the adoption of any future federal or state healthcare reform legislation will not have a negative financial impact on the operators of our hospitals, including their ability to compete with alternative healthcare services funded by such potential legislation, or for the operators of our hospitals to receive payment for services.

On December 14, 2018, a Texas Federal District Court declared the Legislation to be unconstitutional in its entirety. The Court concluded that the Individual Mandate is no longer permissible under Congress’s taxing power as a result of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) reducing the Individual Mandate’s tax to $0 (i.e., it no longer produces revenue, which is an essential feature of a tax), rendering the Legislation unconstitutional.  The court also held that because the individual mandate is “essential” to the Legislation and is inseverable from the rest of the law, the entire Legislation is unconstitutional. Because the court issued a declaratory judgment and did not enjoin the law, the Legislation remains in place pending its appeal.  The District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruling was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On December 18, 2019, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals’ three-judge panel voted 2-1 to strike down the Legislation individual mandate as unconstitutional. The 5^th Circuit Court also sent the case back to the Texas district court to determine which Legislation provisions should be stricken with the mandate. The U.S. Supreme Court heard appeals and ultimately held in California v. Texas that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the Legislation’s requirement to obtain minimum essential health insurance coverage, or the individual mandate.  The Court dismissed the case without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the Legislation. As a result, the Legislation will continue to remain law, in its entirety, likely for the foreseeable future. While the results of the 2020 elections potentially reduce the risk of the Legislation being eliminated in whole or in part, the continued uncertainties regarding implementation of the Legislation create unpredictability for the strategic and business planning efforts of health care providers, which in itself constitutes a risk.  

Under the Legislation, hospitals are required to make public a list of their standard charges, and effective January 1, 2019, CMS has required that this disclosure be in machine-readable format and include charges for all hospital items and services and average charges for diagnosis-related groups. On November 27, 2019, CMS published a final rule on “Price Transparency Requirements for Hospitals to Make Standard Charges Public.” This rule took effect on January 1, 2021 and requires all hospitals to also make public their payor-specific negotiated rates, minimum negotiated rates, maximum negotiated rates and cash for all items and services, including individual items and services and service packages, that could be provided by a hospital to a patient. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in daily monetary penalties.

As part of the CAA, Congress passed legislation aimed at preventing or limiting patient balance billing in certain circumstances. The CAA addresses surprise medical bills stemming from emergency services, out-of-network ancillary providers at in-network facilities, and air ambulance carriers. The legislation prohibits surprise billing when out-of-network emergency services or out-of-network services at an in-network facility are provided, unless informed consent is received. In these circumstances providers are prohibited from billing the patient for any amounts that exceed in-network cost-sharing requirements. On July 13, 2021, HHS, the

14

Department of Labor and the Department of the Treasury issued an interim final rule, which begins to implement this legislation. The rule would limit our ability to receive payment for services at usually higher out-of-network rates in certain circumstances and prohibit out-of-network payments in other circumstances.

The trend toward value-based purchasing may negatively impact the revenues of our hospital operators.

We believe that value-based purchasing initiatives of both governmental and private payers tying financial incentives to quality and efficiency of care will increasingly affect the results of operations of our hospitals and other healthcare facilities and may negatively impact their revenues if they are unable to meet expected quality standards. The Legislation contains a number of provisions intended to promote value-based purchasing in federal healthcare programs. Medicare now requires providers to report certain quality measures in order to receive full reimbursement increases for inpatient and outpatient procedures that were previously awarded automatically. In addition, hospitals that meet or exceed certain quality performance standards will receive increased reimbursement payments, and hospitals that have “excess readmissions” for specified conditions will receive reduced reimbursement. Furthermore, Medicare no longer pays hospitals additional amounts for the treatment of certain hospital-acquired conditions unless the conditions were present at admission. Beginning in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2015, hospitals that rank in the worst 25% of all hospitals nationally for hospital acquired conditions in the previous year will receive reduced Medicare reimbursements. The Legislation also prohibits the use of federal funds under the Medicaid program to reimburse providers for treating certain provider-preventable conditions.

There is a trend among private payers toward value-based purchasing of healthcare services, as well. Many large commercial payers require hospitals to report quality data, and several of these payers will not reimburse hospitals for certain preventable adverse events. We expect value-based purchasing programs, including programs that condition reimbursement on patient outcome measures, to become more common and to involve a higher percentage of reimbursement amounts. We are unable at this time to predict how this trend will affect the results of operations of the operators of our hospitals, but it could negatively impact their revenues if they are unable to meet quality standards established by both governmental and private payers.

Operators that fail to comply with governmental reimbursement programs such as Medicare or Medicaid, licensing and certification requirements, fraud and abuse regulations or new legislative developments may be unable to meet their obligations to us.

Our operators, including UHS and its subsidiaries, are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations that are subject to frequent and substantial changes (sometimes applied retroactively) resulting from legislation, adoption of rules and regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations of existing law. The ultimate timing or effect of these changes cannot be predicted. Government regulation may have a dramatic effect on our operators’ costs of doing business and the amount of reimbursement received by both government and other third-party payors. The failure of any of our operators to comply with these laws, requirements and regulations could adversely affect their ability to meet their obligations to us. These regulations include, among other items: hospital billing practices and prices for service; relationships with physicians and other referral sources; adequacy of medical care; quality of medical equipment and services; qualifications of medical and support personnel; the implementation of, and continued compliance with, electronic health records’ regulations; confidentiality, maintenance and security issues associated with health-related information and patient medical records; the screening, stabilization and transfer, by hospitals with an emergency department, of patients who have emergency medical conditions; certification, licensure and accreditation of our facilities; operating policies and procedures, and; construction or expansion of facilities and services.

If our operators fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, they could be subjected to liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil penalties (including the loss of their licenses to operate one or more facilities), and exclusion of one or more facilities from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state health care programs. The imposition of such penalties could jeopardize that operator’s ability to make lease or mortgage payments to us or to continue operating its facility. In addition, our bonus rent is based on the net revenues of the UHS hospital facility, which in turn is affected by the amount of reimbursement that such lessee receives from the government.

Although UHS and the other operators of our acute care facilities believe that their policies, procedures and practices comply with governmental regulations, no assurance can be given that they will not be subjected to governmental inquiries or actions, or that they would not be faced with sanctions, fines or penalties if so subjected. Because many of these laws and regulations are relatively new, in many cases, our operators don’t have the benefit of regulatory or judicial interpretation. In the future, it is possible that different interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations could subject their current or past practices to allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require them to make changes in the facilities, equipment, personnel, services, capital expenditure programs and operating expenses. Even if they were to ultimately prevail, a significant governmental inquiry or action under one of the above laws, regulations or rules could have a material adverse effect upon them, and in turn, us.

15

U.S. federal tax reform legislation now and in the future could affect REITs, both positively and negatively, in ways that are difficult to anticipate.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”), signed into law on December 22, 2017, made significant changes to corporate and individual tax rates and the calculation of taxes.  While the 2017 Tax Act has not had a significant direct impact on us, it may impact us indirectly as our tenants and the jurisdictions in which we do business as well as the overall investment thesis for REITs may be impacted both positively and negatively. Additionally, the overall impact of the 2017 Tax Act depends on future interpretations and regulations that may be issued by federal tax authorities, as well as changes in state and local taxation in response to the 2017 Tax Act, and it is possible that such future interpretations, regulations and other changes could adversely impact us.  On March 27, 2020, federal legislation intended to ameliorate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the CARES Act, was signed into law. The CARES Act makes technical corrections to, or modifies on a temporary basis, certain of the provisions of the 2017 Tax Act, and it is possible that additional such legislation may be enacted in the future. In addition, further changes to the tax laws, unrelated to the 2017 Tax Act or the COVID-19 pandemic, are possible. In particular, the federal income taxation of REITs may be modified, possible with retroactive effect, by legislative, administrative or judicial action at any time.

UHS and its subsidiaries are subject to pending legal actions, purported stockholder class actions, governmental investigations and regulatory actions.

UHS and its subsidiaries are subject to pending legal actions, governmental investigations and regulatory actions. Since UHS comprised approximately 37%, 33% and 31% of our consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and since a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor, you are encouraged to obtain and review the disclosures contained in the Legal Proceedings section of Universal Health Services, Inc.’s Forms 10-K and 10-Q, as publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings are the sole responsibility of UHS and are not incorporated by reference herein.

Defending itself against the allegations in the lawsuits and governmental investigations, or similar matters and any related publicity, could potentially entail significant costs and could require significant attention from UHS management and UHS’ reputation could suffer significantly. UHS has stated that it is unable to predict the outcome of these matters or to reasonably estimate the amount or range of any such loss; however, the outcome of these lawsuits and the related investigations, publicity and news articles that have been published concerning these matters, could have a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.

UHS is and may become subject to other loss contingencies, both known and unknown, which may relate to past, present and future facts, events, circumstances and occurrences. Should an unfavorable outcome occur in some or all of the legal proceedings or other loss contingencies, or if successful claims and other actions are brought against UHS in the future, there could be a material adverse impact on their financial position, results of operations and liquidity, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on us.

In particular, government investigations, as well as qui tam and stockholder lawsuits, may lead to material fines, penalties, damages payments or other sanctions, including exclusion from government healthcare programs. Settlements of lawsuits involving Medicare and Medicaid issues routinely require both monetary payments and corporate integrity agreements, each of which could have a material adverse effect on UHS’s business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on us.

Required regulatory approvals can delay or prohibit transfers of our healthcare facilities.

Transfers of healthcare facilities to successor tenants or operators may be subject to regulatory approvals or ratifications, including, but not limited to, change of ownership approvals under certificate of need laws and Medicare and Medicaid provider arrangements that are not required for transfers of other types of commercial operations and other types of real estate. The replacement of any tenant or operator could be delayed by the regulatory approval process of any federal, state or local government agency necessary for the transfer of the facility or the replacement of the operator licensed to manage the facility. If we are unable to find a suitable replacement tenant or operator upon favorable terms, or at all, we may take possession of a facility, which might expose us to successor liability or require us to indemnify subsequent operators to whom we might transfer the operating rights and licenses, all of which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Related to Business Operations

16

Increased competition in the health care industry has resulted in lower revenues and higher costs for our operators, including UHS, and may affect our revenues, property values and lease renewal terms.

The healthcare industry is highly competitive and competition among hospitals and other health care providers for patients and physicians has intensified in recent years. In most geographical areas in which our facilities are operated, there are other facilities that provide services comparable to those offered by our facilities. In addition, some competing facilities are owned by tax-supported governmental agencies or by nonprofit corporations and may be supported by endowments and charitable contributions and exempt from property, sales and income taxes. Such exemptions and support are not available to certain operators of our facilities, including UHS.

In some markets, certain competing facilities may have greater financial resources, be better equipped and offer a broader range of services than those available at our facilities. Certain hospitals that are located in the areas served by our facilities are specialty hospitals that provide medical, surgical and behavioral health services that may not be provided by the operators of our hospitals. The increase in outpatient treatment and diagnostic facilities, outpatient surgical centers and freestanding ambulatory surgical centers also increases competition for our operators.

In addition, the operators of our facilities face competition from other health care providers, including physician owned facilities and other competing facilities, including certain facilities operated by UHS but the real property of which is not owned by us. Such competition is experienced in markets including, but not limited to, McAllen, Texas, the site of our McAllen Medical Center, a 370-bed acute care hospital.

In addition, the number and quality of the physicians on a hospital’s staff are important factors in determining a hospital’s competitive advantage. Typically, physicians are responsible for making hospital admission decisions and for directing the course of patient treatment. Since the operators of our facilities also compete with other health care providers, they may experience difficulties in recruiting and retaining qualified hospital management, nurses and other medical personnel.

We anticipate that our operators, including UHS, will continue to encounter increased competition in the future that could lead to a decline in patient volumes and harm their businesses, which in turn, could harm our business.

A substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator. If UHS experiences financial difficulties, or otherwise fails to make payments to us, or elects not to renew the leases on our three acute care hospitals, our revenues could be materially reduced.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, lease payments from UHS comprised approximately 37% of our consolidated revenues. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, subsidiaries of UHS leased six hospital facilities owned by us with current lease terms expiring at various times from 2026 to 2040. We cannot assure you that UHS will continue to satisfy its obligations to us or renew existing leases upon their scheduled maturity. In addition, if subsidiaries of UHS exercise their options to purchase any of the six hospitals or two FEDs leased from us, our future revenues could decrease if we were unable to earn a favorable rate of return on the sale proceeds received, as compared to the rental revenue currently earned pursuant to the leases on the facilities. The failure or inability of UHS to satisfy its obligations to us, or should UHS elect not to renew the leases on the six hospitals or two FEDs, our revenues and net income could be materially reduced, which could in turn reduce the amount of dividends we pay and cause our stock price to decline.  Please see Note 4 to the consolidating financial statements – Lease Accounting, for additional information.

Our relationship with UHS may create conflicts of interest.

In addition to being dependent upon UHS for a substantial portion of our revenues and leases, since 1986, UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, has served as our Advisor. Pursuant to our Advisory Agreement, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2019, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. Further, all of our officers are employees of the Advisor. We have no salaried employees although our officers do typically receive annual stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock. In special circumstances, if warranted and deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, our officers may also receive one-time compensation awards in the form of restricted stock and/or cash bonuses. We believe that the quality and depth of the management and advisory services provided to us by our Advisor and UHS could not be replicated by contracting with unrelated third parties or by being self-advised without considerable cost increases. We believe that these relationships have been beneficial to us in the past, but we cannot guarantee that they will not become detrimental to us in the future.

All transactions with UHS must be approved by a majority of our Independent Trustees. Because of our historical and continuing relationship with UHS and its subsidiaries, in the future, our business dealings may not be on the same or as favorable terms as we might achieve with a third party with whom we do not have such a relationship. Disputes may arise between us and UHS

17

that we are unable to resolve or the resolution of these disputes may not be as favorable to us as a resolution we might achieve with a third party.

We hold non-controlling equity ownership interests in various joint-ventures.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, 11% of our consolidated and unconsolidated revenues were generated by five jointly-owned LLCs/LPs (one of which we began accounting for on a consolidated basis effective November 1, 2021 as a result of our purchase of 5% minority interest that was held by a third-party member) in which we hold non-controlling equity ownership interests ranging from 33% to 95%.  Our level of investment and lack of control exposes us to potential losses of our investments and revenues. Although our ownership arrangements have been beneficial to us in the past, we cannot guarantee that they will continue to be beneficial in the future.

Pursuant to the operating and/or partnership agreements of the four LLCs/LPs in which we continue to hold non-controlling ownership interests, the third-party member and the Trust, at any time, potentially subject to certain conditions, have the right to make an offer (“Offering Member”) to the other member(s) (“Non-Offering Member”) in which it either agrees to: (i) sell the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member to the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Sell”) at a price as determined by the Offering Member (“Transfer Price”), or; (ii) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Purchase”) at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The Non-Offering Member has 60 to 90 days to either: (i) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member at the Transfer Price, or; (ii) sell its entire ownership interest to the Offering Member at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The closing of the transfer must occur within 60 to 90 days of the acceptance by the Non-Offering Member.

In addition to the above-mentioned rights of the third-party members, from time to time, we have had discussions with third-party members about purchasing or selling the interests or the underlying property to each other or a third party. If we were to sell our interests or underlying property, we may not be able to redeploy the proceeds into assets at the same or greater return as we currently receive. During any such time that we were not able to do so, our ability to increase or maintain our dividend at current levels could be adversely affected which could cause our stock price to decline.

The bankruptcy, default, insolvency or financial deterioration of our tenants could significantly delay our ability to collect unpaid rents or require us to find new operators.

Our financial position and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders may be adversely affected by financial difficulties experienced by any of our major tenants, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn in the business. We are exposed to the risk that our operators may not be able to meet their obligations, which may result in their bankruptcy or insolvency. Although our leases and loans provide us the right to terminate an investment, evict an operator, demand immediate repayment and other remedies, the bankruptcy laws afford certain rights to a party that has filed for bankruptcy or reorganization. An operator in bankruptcy may be able to restrict our ability to collect unpaid rents or interest during the bankruptcy proceeding.

Real estate ownership creates risks and liabilities that may result in unanticipated losses or expenses.

Our business is subject to risks associated with real estate acquisitions and ownership, including:

• general liability, property and casualty losses, some of which may be uninsured;

• the illiquid nature of real estate and the real estate market that impairs our ability to purchase or sell our assets rapidly to respond to changing economic conditions;

• real estate market factors, such as the supply and demand of office space and market rental rates, changes in interest rates as well as an increase in the development of medical office condominiums in certain markets;

• costs that may be incurred relating to maintenance and repair, and the need to make expenditures due to changes in governmental regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act;

• environmental hazards at our properties for which we may be liable, including those created by prior owners or occupants, existing tenants, mortgagors or other persons, and;

• defaults and bankruptcies by our tenants.

In addition to the foregoing risks, we cannot predict whether the leases on our properties, including the leases on the six hospitals leased to subsidiaries of UHS, which have options to purchase the respective leased facilities at fair market value, as discussed herein, will be renewed at the rates as stipulated in the lease, or fair market value lease rates, at the end of the current lease

18

terms which expire at various times in 2026 to 2040. If the leases are not renewed, we may be required to find other operators for these hospitals and/or enter into leases with less favorable terms. The exercise of purchase options for our hospitals may result in a less favorable rate of return for us than the rental revenue currently earned on such facilities. Further, the purchase options and rights of first refusal granted to the respective lessees to purchase or lease the respective leased hospitals, after the expiration of the lease term, may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease a hospital, and may present a potential conflict of interest between us and UHS since the price and terms offered by a third-party are likely to be dependent, in part, upon the financial performance of the facility during the final years of the lease term.

If we fail to maintain our REIT status, we will become subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates.

In order to qualify as a REIT, we must comply with certain highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions. Although we believe we have been qualified as a REIT since our inception, there can be no assurance that we have been so qualified or will remain qualified in the future. Failure to qualify as a REIT may subject us to income tax liabilities, including federal income tax at regular corporate rates. The additional income tax incurred may significantly reduce the cash flow available for distribution to shareholders and for debt service. In addition, if disqualified, we might be barred from qualification as a REIT for four years following disqualification. Also, if disqualified, we will not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income and we could be subject to increased state and local income taxes.

Even if we remain qualified as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow.

Even if we remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and assets, including taxes on any undistributed income, tax on income from some activities conducted as a result of a foreclosure, and state or local income, property and transfer taxes. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for the payment of our debt obligations.

Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced tax rates.

In general, dividends (qualified) paid by a U.S. corporation to individual U.S. shareholders are subject to Federal income tax at a maximum rate of 20% for 2021 (subject to certain additional taxes for certain taxpayers). In contrast, since we are a REIT, our distributions to individual U.S. shareholders are not eligible for the reduced rates which apply to distributions from regular corporations, and thus may be subject to Federal income tax at a rate as high as 37% for 2021 (subject to certain additional taxes for certain taxpayers).  The differing treatment of dividends received from REITs and other corporations might cause individual investors to view an investment in REITs as less attractive relative to other corporations, which might negatively affect the value of our shares.

Should we be unable to comply with the strict income distribution requirements applicable to REITs utilizing only cash generated by operating activities, we would be required to generate cash from other sources which could adversely affect our financial condition.

To obtain the favorable tax treatment associated with qualifying as a REIT, in general, we are required each year to distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our net taxable income. In addition, we are subject to a tax on any undistributed portion of our income at regular corporate rates and might also be subject to a 4% excise tax on this undistributed income. To meet the distribution requirements necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT, we could be required to: (i) seek borrowed funds even if conditions are not favorable for borrowing; (ii) issue equity which could have a dilutive effect on the future dividends and share value of our existing shareholders, and/or; (iii) divest assets that we might have otherwise decided to retain. Securing funds through these other non-operating means could adversely affect our financial condition and future results of operations.

19

Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities.

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we continually must satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the ownership of our stock. We may be unable to pursue investments that would be otherwise advantageous to us in order to satisfy the source-of-income, asset-diversification or distribution requirements for qualifying as a REIT. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to make certain attractive investments.

Significant potential liabilities and rising insurance costs and availability may have an adverse effect on the operations of our operators, which may negatively impact their ability to meet their obligations to us.

As is typical in the healthcare industry, in the ordinary course of business, our operators, including UHS, are subject to medical malpractice lawsuits, product liability lawsuits, class action lawsuits and other legal actions. Some of these actions may involve large claims, as well as significant defense costs. If their ultimate liability for professional and general liability claims could change materially from current estimates, if such policy limitations should be partially or fully exhausted in the future, or payments of claims exceed estimates or are not covered by insurance, it could have a material adverse effect on the operations of our operators and, in turn, us.

Property insurance rates, particularly for earthquake insurance in California, have also continued to increase. Our tenants and operators, including UHS, may be unable to fulfill their insurance, indemnification and other obligations to us under their leases and mortgages and thereby potentially expose us to those risks. In addition, our tenants and operators may be unable to pay their lease or mortgage payments, which could potentially decrease our revenues and increase our collection and litigation costs. Moreover, to the extent we are required to foreclose on the affected facilities, our revenues from those facilities could be reduced or eliminated for an extended period of time. In addition, we may in some circumstances be named as a defendant in litigation involving the actions of our operators. Although we have no involvement in the activities of our operators and our standard leases generally require our operators to carry insurance to cover us in certain cases, a significant judgment against us in such litigation could exceed our and our operators’ insurance coverage, which would require us to make payments to cover the judgment.

We depend heavily on key management personnel and the departure of one or more of our key executives or a significant portion of our operators’ local hospital management personnel could harm our business.

The expertise and efforts of our senior executives and key members of our operators’ local hospital management personnel are critical to the success of our business. The loss of the services of one or more of our senior executives or of a significant portion of our operators’ local hospital management personnel could significantly undermine our management expertise and our operators’ ability to provide efficient, quality health care services at our facilities, which could harm their business, and in turn, harm our business.

Increasing investor interest in our sector and consolidation at the operator or REIT level could increase competition and reduce our profitability.

Our business is highly competitive and we expect that it may become more competitive in the future. We compete for the acquisition, leasing and financing of health care related facilities. Our competitors include, but are not limited to, other REITs, banks and other companies, including UHS, some of which are larger and may have a lower cost of capital than we do. These developments could result in fewer investment opportunities for us and lower spreads over our cost of our capital, which would hurt our growth. Increased competition makes it more challenging for us to identify and successfully capitalize on opportunities that meet our business goals and could improve the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell, thereby impeding our investment, acquisition and development activities. If we cannot capitalize on our development pipeline, identify and purchase a sufficient quantity of healthcare facilities at favorable prices or if we are unable to finance acquisitions on commercially favorable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We may be required to incur substantial renovation costs to make certain of our healthcare properties suitable for other operators and tenants.

Healthcare facilities are typically highly customized and may not be easily adapted to non-healthcare-related uses. The improvements generally required to conform a property to healthcare use, such as upgrading electrical, gas and plumbing infrastructure, are costly and at times tenant-specific. A new or replacement operator or tenant may require different features in a property, depending on that operator’s or tenant’s particular operations. If a current operator or tenant is unable to pay rent and vacates a property, we may incur substantial expenditures to modify a property before we are able to secure another operator or tenant. Also, if the property needs to be renovated to accommodate multiple operators or tenants, we may incur substantial expenditures before we are

20

able to re-lease the space. These expenditures or renovations may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

A cyber security incident could cause a violation of HIPAA, breach of member privacy, or other negative impacts.

We and UHS rely extensively on our information technology (“IT”) systems to manage clinical and financial data, communicate with our patients, payors, vendors and other third parties and summarize and analyze operating results. In addition, UHS has made significant investments in technology to adopt and utilize electronic health records and to become a meaningful user of health information technology pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Our IT systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, facility damage, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches including credit card or personally identifiable information breaches, vandalism, theft, natural disasters, catastrophic events, human error and potential cyber threats, including malicious codes, worms, phishing attacks, denial of service attacks, ransomware and other sophisticated cyber-attacks, and our disaster recovery planning cannot account for all eventualities. As cyber criminals continue to become more sophisticated through evolution of their tactics, techniques and procedures, we have taken, and will continue to take, additional preventive measures to strengthen the cyber defenses of our networks and data.  However, if any of our systems are damaged, fail to function properly or otherwise become unavailable, we may incur substantial costs to repair or replace them, and may experience loss or corruption of critical data such as protected health information or other data subject to privacy laws and proprietary business information and interruptions or disruptions and delays in our ability to perform critical functions, which could materially and adversely affect our businesses and results of operations and could result in significant penalties or fines, litigation, loss of customers, significant damage to our reputation and business, and other losses. In addition, our future results of operations, as well as our reputation, could be adversely impacted by theft, destruction, loss, or misappropriation of public health information, other confidential data or proprietary business information.

In September, 2020, UHS had experienced an information technology security incident which led UHS to suspend user access to its information technology applications related to operations located in the United States. While its information technology applications were offline, patient care was delivered safely and effectively at its facilities across the country utilizing established back-up processes, including offline documentation methods. UHS has investigated the nature and potential impact of the security incident and engaged third-party information technology and forensic vendors to assist. No evidence of unauthorized access, copying or misuse of any patient or employee data has been identified to date. Promptly after the incident, its information technology applications were restored at its acute care and behavioral health hospitals, as well as at the corporate level, thereby re-establishing connections to all major systems and applications, including electronic medical records, laboratory and pharmacy systems and its hospitals resumed normal operations.

Risks Related to the Market Conditions and Liquidity

A worsening of the economic and employment conditions in the United States could materially affect our business and future results of operations of the operators of our facilities which could, in turn, materially reduce our revenues and net income.

Our future results of operations could be unfavorably impacted by deterioration in general economic conditions which could result in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or uninsured. Our operators’ patient volumes, revenues and financial results depend significantly on the universe of patients with health insurance, which to a large extent is dependent on the employment status of individuals in certain markets. A worsening of economic conditions may result in a higher unemployment rate which will likely increase the number of individuals without health insurance. As a result, the operators of our facilities may experience a decrease in patient volumes. Should that occur, it may result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings as well as a reduction in the revenues earned by the operators of our hospital facilities which would unfavorably impact our future bonus rental revenue (on the UHS hospital facility) and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms and the underlying value of the hospital properties.

The deterioration of credit and capital markets may adversely affect our access to sources of funding and we cannot be certain of the availability and terms of capital to fund the growth of our business when needed.

To retain our status as a REIT, we are required to distribute 90% of our taxable income to shareholders and, therefore, we generally cannot use income from operations to fund our growth. Accordingly, our growth strategy depends, in part, upon our ability to raise additional capital at reasonable costs to fund new investments. We believe we will be able to raise additional debt and equity capital at reasonable costs to refinance our debts (including third-party debt held by various LLCs in which we own non-controlling equity interests) at or prior to their maturities and to invest at yields which exceed our cost of capital. We can provide no assurance that financing will be available to us on satisfactory terms when needed, which could harm our business. Given these uncertainties, our growth strategy is not assured and may fail.

21

To fund all or a portion of our future financing needs, we rely on borrowings from various sources including fixed rate, long-term debt as well as borrowings pursuant to our revolving credit agreement. If any of the lenders were unable to fulfill their future commitments, our liquidity could be impacted, which could have a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, the degree to which we are, or in the future may become, leveraged, our ability to obtain financing could be adversely impacted and could make us more vulnerable to competitive pressures. Our ability to meet existing and future debt obligations depends upon our future performance and our ability to secure additional financing on satisfactory terms, each of which is subject to financial, business and other factors that are beyond our control. Any failure by us to meet our financial obligations would harm our business.

In the event we need to access the capital markets or other sources of financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms or within an acceptable time. Our inability to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us could have a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

The phase-out of LIBOR on January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023.

In 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to phase out LIBOR and stop compelling banks to submit rates for its calculation.   In 2021, the FCA further announced that effective January 1, 2022, the one week and two-month USD LIBOR tenors are no longer being published, and all other USD LIBOR tenors will cease to be published after June 30, 2023.

The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts.  We are not able to predict how the markets will respond to SOFR or any other alternative reference rate as the transition away from LIBOR continues in the coming years.  Any changes adopted by FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR.  If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

At December 31, 2021, we had contracts that are indexed to LIBOR, such as our unsecured revolving credit facility and interest rate derivatives. We are monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which include interest on loans or amounts received and paid on derivative instruments. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require negotiation with the respective counterparty.  Our unsecured revolving credit facility contains provisions specifying alternative interest rate calculations to be employed when LIBOR ceases to be available as a benchmark. 

We currently expect the LIBOR-indexed rates included in our debt agreements to be available until June 30, 2023. We anticipate managing the transition to a preferred alternative rate using the language set out in our agreements, however, future market conditions may not allow immediate implementation of desired modifications and we may incur significant associated costs in doing so. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the potential impact on our debt payments and value of our related debt, however, we are not able to predict when LIBOR-indexed rates (other than one week and two-month tenors which are not included in our debt agreements and are no longer being published) will cease to be available.

Catastrophic weather and other natural events, whether caused by climate change or otherwise, could result in damage to our properties.

Many of our properties are located in areas susceptible to revenue loss, cost increase, or damage caused by severe weather conditions or natural disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and floods. We could experience losses to the extent that such damages exceed insurance coverage, cause an increase in insurance premiums, and/or a decrease in demand for properties located in such areas. In the event that climate change causes such catastrophic weather or other natural events to increase broadly or in localized areas, such costs and damages could increase above historic expectations. In addition, changes in federal and state legislation and regulation on climate change could result in increased capital expenditures to improve energy efficiency of our existing properties and could require us to spend more on development and redevelopment properties without a corresponding increase in revenue.

Risks Related to Our Securities

The market value of our common stock could be substantially affected by various factors.

Many factors, certain of which are outside of our control, could have an adverse effect on the share price of our common stock. These factors include certain of the risks discussed herein, our financial condition, performance and prospects, the market for similar securities issued by REITs, demographic changes, operating results of our operators and other hospital companies, changes in our financial estimates or recommendations of securities analysts, speculation in the press or investment community, the possible effects of war, terrorist and other hostilities, adverse weather conditions (whether caused by climate change or otherwise), the level of seasonal illnesses, changes in general conditions in the economy, financial markets or overall interest rate environment, or other developments affecting the health care industry.

When interest rates increase, our common stock may decline in price.

Our common stock, like other dividend stocks, is sensitive to changes in market interest rates. In response to changing interest rates the price of our common stock may behave like a long-term fixed-income security and, compared to shorter-term instruments, may have more volatility. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy, an uptick in inflation and changes in general economic conditions. The risks associated with increasing rates are intensified given that interest rates have been near historic lows but may be expected to increase in the future, with unpredictable effects on the markets and on the price of our common stock. Consequential effects of a general rise in interest rates may hamper our access to capital markets, affect the liquidity of our underlying investments in real estate, and, by extension, limit management’s effective range of responses to changing tenant circumstances or in answer to investment opportunities. Limited operational alternatives may further hinder our ability to maintain or increase our dividend, and the market price of our common stock may experience further declines as the result.

Ownership limitations and anti-takeover provisions in our declaration of trust and bylaws and under Maryland law and in our leases with UHS may delay, defer or prevent a change in control or other transactions that could provide shareholders with a take-over premium. We are subject to significant anti-takeover provisions.

In order to protect us against the risk of losing our REIT status for federal income tax purposes, our declaration of trust permits our Trustees to redeem shares acquired or held in excess of 9.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of our voting stock and, which in the opinion of the Trustees, would jeopardize our REIT status. In addition, any acquisition of our common or preferred shares that would result in our disqualification as a REIT is null and void. The right of redemption may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company and could adversely affect our shareholders’ ability to realize a premium over the market price for the shares of our common stock.

Our declaration of trust authorizes our Board of Trustees to issue additional shares of common and preferred stock and to establish the preferences, rights and other terms of any series of preferred stock that we issue. Although our Board of Trustees has no intention to do so at the present time, it could establish a series of preferred stock that could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve the payment of a premium over the market price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders.

Both Master Leases by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, which together govern the three acute care hospital properties, three behavioral healthcare hospitals and the freestanding emergency departments leased to subsidiaries of UHS, includes a change of control provision. The change of control provision grants UHS the right, upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, to purchase any or all of the leased hospital properties at their appraised fair market values. The exercise of this purchase option may result in a less favorable rate of return earned on the sales proceeds received than the rental revenue currently earned on such facilities.

These provisions could discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or make it more difficult for a third-party to gain control of us, which could adversely affect the market price of our securities and prevent shareholders from receiving a take-over premium.

ITEM 2. Properties  

The following table shows our investments in hospital facilities owned by us and leased to UHS and other non-related parties and also provides information related to various properties in which we have or had significant investments, some of which are accounted for by the equity method. As discussed herein, on December 31, 2021, we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS pursuant to the terms of which, UHS purchased from us, the real estate assets of Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System, and in exchange, UHS transferred to us the real estate assets of Aiken Regional Medical Center (which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion) and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health. The capacity in terms of beds (for the hospital facilities) and the five-year occupancy levels are based on information provided by the lessees.

N/A – Not applicable.

(1) Average occupancy rate for the hospital facilities is based on the average number of available beds occupied during each of the five years ended December 31, 2021. Average available beds is the number of beds which are actually in service at any given time for immediate patient use with the necessary equipment and staff available for patient care. A hospital may have appropriate licenses for more beds than are in service for a number of reasons, including lack of demand, incomplete construction and anticipation of future needs. The average occupancy rate of a hospital is affected by a number of factors, including the number of physicians using the hospital, changes in the number of beds, the composition and size of the population of the community in which the hospital is located, general and local economic conditions, variations in local medical and surgical practices and the degree of outpatient use of the hospital services. Average occupancy rate for the multi-tenant medical office buildings is based on the occupied square footage of each building, including any applicable master leases.

(2) Please see above in Relationship with UHS, for additional disclosure regarding the asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates.  On December 31, 2021, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased the real estate assets of Inland Valley from us at its fair market value.  Additionally, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS transferred the real estate assets of two properties to us at their fair market values.  The transferred properties are Aiken Regional Medical Center, (“Aiken”) which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion, and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”). The occupancy details for Aiken and Canyon Creek from 2016 through 2021 are not relevant since we acquired them on December 31, 2021.

(3) During the first quarter of 2001, UHS purchased the assets and operations of the 60-bed McAllen Heart Hospital located in McAllen, Texas. Upon acquisition by UHS, the Heart Hospital began operating under the same license as McAllen Medical Center (which has 370 available beds as of December 31, 2021). The net revenues of the combined operations included revenues generated by the Heart Hospital, the real property of which is not owned by us. Accordingly, the McAllen Medical Center lease was amended during 2001 to exclude from the bonus rent calculation, the estimated net revenues generated at the Heart Hospital (as calculated pursuant to a percentage-based allocation determined at the time of the merger). During 2000, UHS purchased the South Texas Behavioral Health Center, a behavioral health care facility located in McAllen, Texas. In 2006, a newly constructed, 134-bed replacement facility for the South Texas Behavioral Health Center was completed and opened. We do not own the real property of South Texas Behavioral Health Center. Upon UHS’s acquisition of the South Texas Behavioral Health Center in 2000, the facility’s license was merged into the operating license of McAllen Medical Center/McAllen Heart Hospital. There was no amendment to the McAllen Medical Center lease related to the operations of the South Texas Behavioral Health Center and its net revenues are distinct and excluded from the bonus rent calculation. In 2007, the operations of each of the above-mentioned facilities, as well as the operations of Edinburg Regional Medical Center/Children’s Hospital, a 235-bed facility located in Edinburg, Texas, were merged into one license operating as the South Texas Health System (“STHS”). The real property of Edinburg Regional Medical Center/Children’s Hospital is not owned by us and its net revenues are distinct and excluded from the bonus rent calculation. In 2015, the newly constructed South Texas

25

ER at Weslaco and South Texas ER at Mission (Free-standing Emergency Departments (“FEDs”)) were completed and opened. These facilities also operate under the STHS license. The real property of these two FEDs was purchased by us and leased back to STHS. The average occupancy rates reflected above are based upon the combined occupancy and combined number of beds at McAllen Medical Center and McAllen Heart Hospital. No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, the consolidation of the facilities into one operating license, as mentioned above, had on the underlying value of McAllen Medical Center.  Base rental commitments and the guarantee by UHS under the original lease continue for the remainder of the lease terms.  

(4) In 2014, an 80-bed expansion was added to Wellington Regional Medical Center increasing the hospital’s total available beds from 153 to 233. Pursuant to terms of the Wellington Regional Medical Center lease in effect during 2021, we were entitled to bonus rental on the net revenues generated from the 80-bed expansion. However, since we did not acquire the property associated with the additional 80-beds, the hospital’s base rental remained unchanged and the additional beds are not included in the number of available beds reflected above.  Upon the December 31, 2021 expiration of the lease, Wellington Regional Medical Center exercised its fair market value renewal option and renewed the lease for a 5-year term.  Effective January 1, 2022, the annual fair market value lease rate is $6.3 million and there is no bonus rental component applicable to the renewed fair market value lease.

(5) The real estate assets of this facility are or were owned by us (either directly or through an LLC in which we hold 100% of the ownership interest) and include tenants who are subsidiaries of UHS or jointly owned by a subsidiary of UHS.  

(6) Minimum lease payment amounts contain impact of straight-line rent adjustments, if applicable.

(7) See above in Relationship with UHS, regarding, among other things, UHS’s purchase option as discussed herein. We believe the respective fair values for each of these hospitals equals or exceeds the respective net book values or net financing receivables as of December 31, 2021 amounting to: $15.3 million for McAllen Medical Center, $10.3 million for Wellington Regional Medical Center, $33.9 million for Clive Behavioral Health, $57.7 million for Aiken Regional Medical Center (in terms of financing receivable), and; $24.7 for Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (in terms of financing receivable).  

(8) The lease on this facility expired in 2019 and the property remains vacant. We are marketing the property.  

(9) The lease on this facility expired on December 31, 2021 and the property remains vacant. We are marketing the property.

(10) This newly constructed UHS-related hospital was substantially completed in December of 2020.  The lease on this facility, which was executed with a joint venture between UHS and an unrelated party, is triple net and has an initial term of 20 years with five, 10-year renewal options.

Leasing Trends at Our Significant Medical Office Buildings  

During 2021, we had a total of 56 new or renewed leases related to the medical office buildings indicated above, in which we have significant investments, some of which are accounted for by the equity method. These leases comprised approximately 29% of the aggregate rentable square feet of these properties (26% related to renewed leases and 3% related to new leases). Rental rates, tenant improvement costs and rental concessions vary from property to property based upon factors such as, but not limited to, the current occupancy and age of our buildings, local overall economic conditions, proximity to hospital campuses and the vacancy rates, rental rates and capacity of our competitors in the market. In connection with lease renewals executed during 2021, the weighted-average rental rates, as compared to rental rates on the expired leases, increased by approximately 1% during 2021. The weighted-average tenant improvement costs associated with these new or renewed leases was approximately $5 per square foot during 2021. The weighted-average leasing commissions on the new and renewed leases commencing during 2021 was approximately 2% of base rental revenue over the term of the leases. The average aggregate value of the tenant concessions, generally consisting of rent abatements, provided in connection with new and renewed leases commencing during 2021 was approximately 0.8% of the future aggregate base rental revenue over the lease terms. Rent abatements were, or will be, recognized in our results of operations under the straight-line method over the lease term regardless of when payments are due.

Set forth below is information detailing the rentable square feet (“RSF”) associated with each of our properties as of December 31, 2021 and the percentage of RSF on which leases expire during the next five years and thereafter. For the MOBs that have scheduled lease expirations during 2022 of 10% or greater (of RSF), we have included information regarding estimated market rates relative to lease rates on the expiring leases.

On a combined basis, based upon the aggregate revenues and square footage for the occupied hospital facilities owned as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the average effective annual rental per square foot was $24.86 and $20.96, respectively. On a combined basis, based upon the aggregate consolidated and unconsolidated revenues and the estimated average occupied square footage for our MOBs, FEDs and childcare centers owned as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the average effective annual rental per square foot was $30.49 and $29.95, respectively.  On a combined basis, based upon the aggregate consolidated and unconsolidated revenues and estimated average occupied square footage for all of our occupied properties owned as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the average effective annual rental per square foot was $28.88 and $27.45, respectively.  The estimated average occupied square footage for 2021 was calculated by averaging the unavailable rentable square footage on January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022.  The estimated average occupied square footage for 2020 was calculated by averaging the unavailable rentable square footage on January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021.

During 2021, one of the UHS-related hospitals (McAllen Medical Center) generated revenues that comprised approximately 10% of our consolidated revenues.  Additionally, none of the properties had book values greater than 10% of our consolidated assets as of December 31, 2021. None of our unconsolidated LLCs had revenues (including 100% of the revenues generated at the properties owned by our unconsolidated LLCs) greater than 10% of the combined consolidated and unconsolidated revenues during 2021. None of the properties had book values (including 100% of the book values of the properties owned by our unconsolidated LLCs) greater than 10% of the consolidated and unconsolidated assets.

The following table sets forth the average effective annual rental per square foot for 2021, based upon average occupied square feet for McAllen Medical Center:

(1) The annual rentals of expiring leases reflected above were calculated based upon each property’s 2021 average rental rate per occupied square foot applied to each property’s scheduled lease expirations (on a square foot basis). These amounts include the data related to the unconsolidated LLCs/LPs in which we hold various non-controlling ownership interests at December 31, 2021 and also include the bonus rentals earned on the UHS hospital facilities.

(2) The percentages of annual rentals reflected above were calculated based upon the annual rentals of the applicable expiring leases (as reflected above) divided by the total annual rentals of all expiring leases in the next ten years and thereafter (as reflected above).

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to promote an understanding of our operating results and financial condition.  The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, as included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.  Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those presented under Item 1A. Risk Factors, and below in Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and as included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  This section generally discusses our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.  For discussion of our result of operations and changes in our financial condition for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, please refer to Part II, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2021.   

Overview

We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that commenced operations in 1986. We invest in healthcare and human service related facilities currently including acute care hospitals, behavioral health care hospitals, specialty facilities, free-standing emergency departments, childcare centers and medical/office buildings. As of February 24, 2022, we have seventy-five real estate investments or commitments in twenty-one states consisting of:

• six hospital facilities consisting of three acute care hospitals and three behavioral health care;

• four free-standing emergency departments (“FEDs”);

• fifty-eight medical/office buildings, including four owned by unconsolidated LLCs/LPs;

• four preschool and childcare centers, and;

• three specialty facilities that are currently vacant.

Forward Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our current estimates, expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, information concerning our possible future results of operations, business and growth strategies, financing plans, expectations that regulatory developments or other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, our competitive position and the effects of competition, the projected growth of the industry in which we operate, and the benefits and synergies to be obtained from our completed and any future acquisitions, and statements of our goals and objectives, and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “appears,” “projects” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or our good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Such factors include, among other things, the following:  

• Future operations and financial results of our tenants, and in turn ours, will likely be materially impacted by numerous factors and future developments related to COVID-19.  Such factors and developments include, but are not limited to, the length of time and severity of the spread of the pandemic; the volume of cancelled or rescheduled elective procedures and the volume of COVID-19 patients treated by the operators of our hospitals and other healthcare facilities; measures our tenants are taking to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic; the impact of government and administrative regulation, including travel bans and restrictions, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders, quarantines, the promotion of social distancing, business shutdowns and limitations on business activity; vaccine requirements; changes in patient volumes at our tenants’ hospitals and other healthcare facilities due to patients’ general concerns related to the risk of contracting COVID-19 from interacting with the healthcare system; the impact of stimulus on the health care industry and our tenants; changes in patient volumes and payer mix caused by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions (including increases in uninsured and underinsured patients as the result of business closings and layoffs); potential disruptions to clinical staffing and shortages and disruptions related to supplies required for our tenants’ employees and patients, including equipment, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies,

33

particularly personal protective equipment, or PPE; potential increases to expenses incurred by our tenants related to staffing, supply chain or other expenditures; the impact of our indebtedness and the ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms; disruptions in the financial markets and the business of financial institutions as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact our ability to access capital or increase associated borrowing costs; and changes in general economic conditions nationally and regionally in the markets our properties are located resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including higher sustained rates of unemployment and underemployment levels and reduced consumer spending and confidence.  There may be significant declines in future bonus rental revenue earned on the hospital property leased to a subsidiary of UHS to the extent that the hospital continues to experience significant declines in patient volumes and revenues. These factors may result in the inability or unwillingness on the part of some of our tenants to make timely payment of their rent to us at current levels or to seek to amend or terminate their leases which, in turn, would have an adverse effect on our occupancy levels and our revenue and cash flow and the value of our properties, and potentially, our ability to maintain our dividend at current levels.

• Due to COVID-19 restrictions and its impact on the economy, we may experience a decrease in prospective tenants which could unfavorably impact the volume of new leases, as well as the renewal rate of existing leases. The COVID-19 pandemic may delay our construction projects which could result in increased costs and delay the timing of opening and rental payments from those projects, although no such delays have yet occurred. The COVID-19 pandemic could also impact our indebtedness and the ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms, as well as risks associated with disruptions in the financial markets and the business of financial institutions as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact us from a financing perspective; and changes in general economic conditions nationally and regionally in the markets our properties are located resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has not had a material adverse impact on our financial results during 2021. We are not able to fully quantify the impact that these factors will have on our financial results during 2022, but developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to have a material adverse impact on our future financial results.

• The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued an Interim Final Rule (“IFR”) effective November 5, 2021 mandating COVID-19 vaccinations for all applicable staff at all Medicare and Medicaid certified facilities. Under the IRS, facilities covered by this regulation must establish a policy ensuring all eligible staff have received the first dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine or a one-dose COVID-19 vaccine prior to providing any care, treatment, or other services by December 5, 2021. All eligible staff must have received the necessary shots to be fully vaccinated – either two doses of Pfizer or Moderna or one dose of Johnson & Johnson – by January 4, 2022. The regulation also provides for exemptions based on recognized medical conditions or religious beliefs, observances, or practices. Under the IFR, facilities must develop a similar process or plan for permitting exemptions in alignment with federal law. If facilities fail to comply with the IFR by the deadlines established, they are subject to potential termination from the Medicare and Medicaid program for non-compliance.  In addition, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration also issued an Emergency Temporary Standard (“ETS”) requiring all businesses with 100 or more employees to be vaccinated by January 4, 2022.  Pursuant to the ETS, those employees not vaccinated by that date will need to show a negative COVID-19 test weekly and wear a face mask in the workplace.  Legal challenges to these rules ensued, and the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld a stay of the ETS requirements but permitted the IFR vaccination requirements to go into effect pending additional litigation. CMS has indicated that hospitals in states not involved in the Supreme Court litigation are expected to be in compliance with IFR vaccination requirements consistent with the dates referenced above. Hospitals in states that were involved in the Supreme Court litigation must now come into compliance with first dose requirements by February 13, 2022 and second dose requirements by March 15, 2022.  Hospitals in Texas continue to not be subject to the IFR, pending the resolution of additional litigation there.  We cannot predict at this time the potential viability or impact of any such additional litigation on us or the operators of our facilities. Implementation of these rules could have an impact on staffing at the operators of our facilities for those employees that are not vaccinated in accordance with IFR and ETS requirements, and associated loss of revenues and increased costs resulting from staffing issues could have a material adverse effect on our financial results or those of the operators.

• Recent legislation, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (“PPPHCE Act”) and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”), has provided grant funding to hospitals and other healthcare providers to assist them during the COVID-19 pandemic.  There is a high degree of uncertainty surrounding the implementation of the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act and ARPA, and the federal government may consider additional stimulus and relief efforts, but we are unable to predict whether additional stimulus measures will be enacted or their impact.  There can be no assurance as to the total amount of financial and other types of assistance our tenants will receive under the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act and the ARPA, and it is difficult to predict the impact of such legislation on our tenants’ operations or how they will affect operations of our tenants’ competitors.  There can be no assurance as to whether our tenants would be required to repay any previously granted funding, due to noncompliance with grant terms or otherwise. Moreover, we are unable to assess the extent to which anticipated

34

negative impacts on our tenants (and, in turn, us) arising from the COVID-19 pandemic will be offset by amounts or benefits received or to be received under the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act and the ARPA.

• A substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator, UHS, which comprised approximately 37%, 33% and 31% of our consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As previously disclosed, on December 31, 2021, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased the real estate assets of Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System from us and in exchange, transferred the real estate assets of Aiken Regional Medical Center and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health to us.  These transactions were approved by the Independent Trustees of our Board, as well as the UHS Board of Directors. The aggregate annual rental revenue during 2022 pursuant to the leases for the two facilities transferred to us is approximately $5.6 million; there is no bonus rent component applicable to either of these leases.   Pursuant to the terms of the lease on the Inland Valley Campus, we earned $4.5 million of lease revenue during year ended December 31, 2021 ($2.6 million in base rental and $1.9 million in bonus rental). Please see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements - Lease Accounting, for additional information related to this asset purchase and sale transaction between us and UHS.

• We cannot assure you that subsidiaries of UHS will renew the leases on the hospital facilities and free-standing emergency departments, upon the scheduled expirations of the existing lease terms. In addition, if subsidiaries of UHS exercise their options to purchase the respective leased hospital facilities and FEDs, and do not enter into a substitution arrangement upon expiration of the lease terms or otherwise, our future revenues and results of operations could decrease if we were unable to earn a favorable rate of return on the sale proceeds received, as compared to the rental revenue currently earned pursuant to these leases. Please see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements - Lease Accounting, for additional information related to a lease renewal between us and Wellington Regional Medical Center, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.

• In certain of our markets, the general real estate market has been unfavorably impacted by increased competition/capacity and decreases in occupancy and rental rates which may adversely impact our operating results and the underlying value of our properties.

• A number of legislative initiatives have recently been passed into law that may result in major changes in the health care delivery system on a national or state level to the operators of our facilities, including UHS. No assurances can be given that the implementation of these new laws will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of our operators.

• The potential indirect impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, signed into law on December 22, 2017, which makes significant changes to corporate and individual tax rates and calculation of taxes, which could potentially impact our tenants and jurisdictions, both positively and negatively, in which we do business, as well as the overall investment thesis for REITs.

• A subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor and our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which may create the potential for conflicts of interest.

• Lost revenues resulting from the exercise of purchase options, lease expirations and renewals and other transactions (see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements – Lease Accounting for additional disclosure related to lease expirations and subsequent vacancies that occurred during the second and third quarters of 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2021 on three specialty hospital facilities.

• Potential unfavorable tax consequences and reduced income resulting from an inability to complete, within the statutory timeframes, anticipated tax deferred like-kind exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, if, and as, applicable from time-to-time.

• Our ability to continue to obtain capital on acceptable terms, including borrowed funds, to fund future growth of our business.

• The outcome and effects of known and unknown litigation, government investigations, and liabilities and other claims asserted against us, UHS or the other operators of our facilities. UHS and its subsidiaries are subject to legal actions, purported shareholder class actions and shareholder derivative cases, governmental investigations and regulatory actions and the effects of adverse publicity relating to such matters. Since UHS comprised approximately 37% of our consolidated revenues during the year ended December 31, 2021, and since a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor, you are encouraged to obtain and review the disclosures contained in the Legal Proceedings section of Universal Health Services, Inc.’s Forms 10-Q and 10-K, as publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those filings are the sole responsibility of UHS and are not incorporated by reference herein.

• Failure of UHS or the other operators of our hospital facilities to comply with governmental regulations related to the Medicare and Medicaid licensing and certification requirements could have a material adverse impact on our future revenues and the underlying value of the property.

35

• The potential unfavorable impact on our business of the deterioration in national, regional and local economic and business conditions, including a worsening of credit and/or capital market conditions, which may adversely affect our ability to obtain capital which may be required to fund the future growth of our business and refinance existing debt with near term maturities.

• A continuation in the deterioration in general economic conditions which has resulted in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or insured and likely increase the number of individuals without health insurance. Under these circumstances, the operators of our facilities may experience declines in patient volumes which could result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings.

• A continuation of the worsening of the economic and employment conditions in the United States would likely materially affect the business of our operators, including UHS, which would likely unfavorably impact our future bonus rental revenue (on one UHS hospital facility) and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms and the underlying value of the hospital properties.

• Real estate market factors, including without limitation, the supply and demand of office space and market rental rates, changes in interest rates as well as an increase in the development of medical office condominiums in certain markets.

• The impact of property values and results of operations of severe weather conditions, including the effects of hurricanes.

• Government regulations, including changes in the reimbursement levels under the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

• The issues facing the health care industry that affect the operators of our facilities, including UHS, such as: changes in, or the ability to comply with, existing laws and government regulations; unfavorable changes in the levels and terms of reimbursement by third party payors or government programs, including Medicare (including, but not limited to, the potential unfavorable impact of future reductions to Medicare reimbursements resulting from the Budget Control Act of 2011, as discussed in the next bullet point below) and Medicaid (most states have reported significant budget deficits that have, in the past, resulted in the reduction of Medicaid funding to the operators of our facilities, including UHS); demographic changes; the ability to enter into managed care provider agreements on acceptable terms; an increase in uninsured and self-pay patients which unfavorably impacts the collectability of patient accounts; decreasing in-patient admission trends; technological and pharmaceutical improvements that may increase the cost of providing, or reduce the demand for, health care, and; the ability to attract and retain qualified medical personnel, including physicians.

• The Budget Control Act of 2011 imposed annual spending limits for most federal agencies and programs aimed at reducing budget deficits by $917 billion between 2012 and 2021, according to a report released by the Congressional Budget Office. Among its other provisions, the law established a bipartisan Congressional committee, known as the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (the “Joint Committee”), which was tasked with making recommendations aimed at reducing future federal budget deficits by an additional $1.5 trillion over 10 years. The Joint Committee was unable to reach an agreement by the November 23, 2011 deadline and, as a result, across-the-board cuts to discretionary, national defense and Medicare spending were implemented on March 1, 2013 resulting in Medicare payment reductions of up to 2% per fiscal year with a uniform percentage reduction across all Medicare programs. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, enacted on November 2, 2015, continued the 2% reductions to Medicare reimbursement imposed under the Budget Control Act of 2011. Recent legislation has suspended payment reductions through December 31, 2021 in exchange for extended cuts through 2030. Subsequent legislation extended the payment reduction suspension through March 31, 2022, with a 1% payment reduction from then until June 30, 2022 and the full 2% payment reduction thereafter.  We cannot predict whether Congress will restructure the implemented Medicare payment reductions or what other federal budget deficit reduction initiatives may be proposed by Congress going forward.  We also cannot predict the effect these enactments will have on the operators of our properties (including UHS), and thus, our business.

• An increasing number of legislative initiatives have been passed into law that may result in major changes in the health care delivery system on a national or state level. Legislation has already been enacted that has eliminated the penalty for failing to maintain health coverage that was part of the original Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”). President Biden is expected to undertake executive actions that will strengthen the ACA and may reverse the policies of the prior administration. To date, the Biden administration has issued executive orders implementing a special enrollment period permitting individuals to enroll in health plans outside of the annual open enrollment period and reexamining policies that may undermine the ACA or the Medicaid program. The ARPA’s expansion of subsidies to purchase coverage through an exchange is anticipated to increase exchange enrollment. The Trump Administration had directed the issuance of final rules: (i) enabling the formation of association health plans that would be exempt from certain ACA requirements such as the provision of essential health benefits; (ii) expanding the availability of short-term, limited duration health insurance, (iii) eliminating cost-sharing reduction payments to insurers that would otherwise offset deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses for health plan enrollees at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level; (iv) relaxing requirements for state innovation waivers that could reduce enrollment in the individual and small group markets and lead to additional enrollment in short-term, limited duration insurance and association health plans; and (v) incentivizing the use of health reimbursement

36

arrangements by employers to permit employees to purchase health insurance in the individual market.  The uncertainty resulting from these Executive Branch policies had led to reduced Exchange enrollment in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and is expected to further worsen the individual and small group market risk pools in future years.  It is also anticipated that these policies, to the extent that they remain as implemented, may create additional cost and reimbursement pressures on hospitals, including ours. In addition, while attempts to repeal the entirety of the ACA have not been successful to date, a key provision of the ACA was eliminated as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and on December 14, 2018, a federal U.S. District Court Judge in Texas ruled the entire ACA is unconstitutional. That ruling was appealed and on December 18, 2019, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to strike down the ACA individual mandate as unconstitutional. The case was ultimately appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which decided in California v. Texas that the plaintiffs in the matter lacked standing to bring their constitutionality claims.  As a result, the Legislation will continue to remain law, in its entirety, likely for the foreseeable future.    

• There can be no assurance that if any of the announced or proposed changes described above are implemented there will not be negative financial impact on the operators of our hospitals, which material effects may include a potential decrease in the market for health care services or a decrease in the ability of the operators of our hospitals to receive reimbursement for health care services provided which could result in a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the operators of our properties, and, thus, our business.

• Competition for properties include, but are not limited to, other REITs, private investors and firms, banks and other companies, including UHS.  In addition, we may face competition from other REITs for our tenants.

• The operators of our facilities face competition from other health care providers, including physician owned facilities and other competing facilities, including certain facilities operated by UHS but the real property of which is not owned by us. Such competition is experienced in markets including, but not limited to, McAllen, Texas, the site of our McAllen Medical Center, a 370-bed acute care hospital.

• Changes in, or inadvertent violations of, tax laws and regulations and other factors that can affect REITs and our status as a REIT, including possible future changes to federal tax laws that could materially impact our ability to defer gains on divestitures through like-kind property exchanges.

• The individual and collective impact of the changes made by the CARES Act on REITs and their security holders are uncertain and may not become evident for some period of time; it is also possible additional legislation could be enacted in the future as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which may affect the holders of our securities.

• Should we be unable to comply with the strict income distribution requirements applicable to REITs, utilizing only cash generated by operating activities, we would be required to generate cash from other sources which could adversely affect our financial condition.

• Our ownership interest in four LLCs/LPs in which we hold non-controlling equity interests. In addition, pursuant to the operating and/or partnership agreements of the four LLCs/LPs in which we continue to hold non-controlling ownership interests, the third-party member and the Trust, at any time, potentially subject to certain conditions, have the right to make an offer (“Offering Member”) to the other member(s) (“Non-Offering Member”) in which it either agrees to: (i) sell the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member to the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Sell”) at a price as determined by the Offering Member (“Transfer Price”), or; (ii) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Purchase”) at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The Non-Offering Member has 60 to 90 days to either: (i) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member at the Transfer Price, or; (ii) sell its entire ownership interest to the Offering Member at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The closing of the transfer must occur within 60 to 90 days of the acceptance by the Non-Offering Member.  Please see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements – Summarized Financial Information of Equity Affiliates for additional disclosure related to a fourth quarter, 2021 transaction between us and the minority partner in Grayson Properties, LP.

• Fluctuations in the value of our common stock.

• Other factors referenced herein or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Given these uncertainties, risks and assumptions, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Our actual results and financial condition, including the operating results of our lessees and the facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS, could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking

37

information, except as may be required by law. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  

We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require us to make significant judgments and estimates when we prepare our financial statements, including the following:

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate:  Purchase accounting is applied to the assets and liabilities related to most real estate investments acquired from third parties. In accordance with current accounting guidance, we account for most of our property acquisitions as acquisitions of assets, which requires the capitalization of acquisition costs to the underlying assets and prohibits the recognition of goodwill or bargain purchase gains. The fair value of most of the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above market rate assumed loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below market assumed loans, are recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.  Please see additional disclosure below regarding “Financing Assets”.

The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property are determined based on comparable land sales for land and replacement costs adjusted for physical and market obsolescence for the improvements. The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property are also determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property based on assumptions that a market participant would use, which is similar to methods used by independent appraisers. In addition, there is intangible value related to having tenants leasing space in the purchased property, which is referred to as in-place lease value. Such value results primarily from the buyer of a leased property avoiding the costs associated with leasing the property and also avoiding rent losses and unreimbursed operating expenses during the hypothetical lease-up period. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) estimated fair market lease rates from the perspective of a market participant for the corresponding in-place leases, measured, for above-market leases, over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases.

38

Financing Assets:   As discussed in Note 2 – Relationship with UHS and Related Party Transactions, on December 31, 2021 we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates. Pursuant to the agreement, UHS purchased from us the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System (“Inland Valley”) and transferred to us the real estate assets of Aiken Regional Medical Center (“Aiken”) and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”). In connection with this transaction, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases (with us as lessor) for initial lease terms of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. As a result of UHS’ purchase option within the lease agreements of Aiken and Canyon Creek, the transaction is accounted for as a failed sale leaseback in accordance with U.S. GAAP and we have accounted for the transaction with UHS as a financing arrangement. A portion of the monthly lease payment to us from UHS will be recorded to interest income based upon an imputed interest rate and the remainder will reduce the outstanding financing receivable.  In connection with this transaction, our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 reflects a financing receivable of $82.4 million, which is the aggregate fair value of the real estate assets that we received as part of the transaction (Aiken and Canyon Creek).  As of December 31, 2021 there are no indicators of impairment and the financing receivable will be assessed for recoverability in accordance with our asset impairment policy.

Asset Impairment:  We review each of our properties for indicators that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Examples of such indicators may include a significant decrease in the market price of the property, a change in the expected holding period for the property, a significant adverse change in how the property is being used or expected to be used based on the underwriting at the time of acquisition, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of the property, or a history of operating or cash flow losses of the property. When such impairment indicators exist, we review an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition and compare that estimate to the carrying value of the property. We consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If our future undiscounted net cash flow evaluation indicates that we are unable to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Since cash flows on properties considered to be long-lived assets to be held and used are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether the carrying value of a property is recoverable, our strategy of holding properties over the long-term directly decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable and therefore requiring the recording of an impairment loss. If our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material. If we determine that the asset fails the recoverability test, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value.

We generally estimate the fair value of rental properties utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that includes projections of future revenues, expenses and capital improvement costs that a market participant would use based on the highest and best use of the asset, which is similar to the income approach that is commonly utilized by appraisers. In certain cases, we may supplement this analysis by obtaining outside broker opinions of value or third party appraisals.

In considering whether to classify a property as held for sale, we consider factors such as whether management has committed to a plan to sell the property, the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition for a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value, the sale of the property is probable, and actions required for management to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will made to the plan.  If all the criteria are met, we classify the property as held for sale.  Upon being classified as held for sale, depreciation and amortization related to the property ceases and it is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The assets and related liabilities of the property are classified separately on the consolidated balance sheets for the most recent reporting period. Only those assets held for sale that constitute a strategic shift or that will have a major effect on our operations are classified as discontinued operations. 

An other than temporary impairment of an investment in an unconsolidated LLC is recognized when the carrying value of the investment is not considered recoverable based on evaluation of the severity and duration of the decline in value, including projected declines in cash flow. To the extent impairment has occurred, the excess carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

Federal Income Taxes:    No provision has been made for federal income tax purposes since we qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and intend to continue to remain so qualified.   To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to shareholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal, state or local income tax on income that we distribute as dividends to our shareholders.

39

We are subject to a federal excise tax computed on a calendar year basis. The excise tax equals 4% of the amount by which 85% of our ordinary income plus 95% of any capital gain income for the calendar year exceeds cash distributions during the calendar year, as defined. No provision for excise tax has been reflected in the financial statements as no tax was due.

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal tax purposes in the cost basis of assets and in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and the recording of provision for investment losses.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020:

For the year ended December 31, 2021, net income was $109.2 million as compared to $19.4 million during 2020.  The $89.7 million increase was primarily attributable to:

• $87.3 million increase resulting from gains recorded on various divestitures of real estate assets including the divestiture of two MOBs, as well as the divestiture of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System as part of an asset purchase and sale transaction with UHS (for additional disclosure, please see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, Asset Purchase and Sale Transaction, Acquisitions, Divestitures and New Construction);

• $2.2 million of other combined net increases, including increased net income experienced at various properties including the income recorded in connection with the newly constructed Clive Behavioral Health facility that was substantially completed in December, 2020;

• $790,000 increase in bonus rentals earned on the three hospital facilities leased to wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS during 2020 and 2021, and;

• $546,000 decrease resulting from an increase in interest expense.

40

Total revenues increased by $6.2 million, or 7.9%, during 2021 as compared to 2020. The increase consisted primarily of the rentals earned on the Clive Behavioral Health facility, increased bonus rentals earned on certain hospitals leased to wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS and increases in rentals earned at various other properties including properties acquired during 2021 and late in 2020.  

Our other operating expenses include expenses related to the consolidated medical office buildings and two specialty facilities that were vacant during 2021 (as discussed herein), which totaled $20.8 million and $19.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A large portion of the expenses associated with our medical office buildings is passed on directly to the tenants either directly as tenant reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses or included in base rental amounts. Tenant reimbursements for operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the same period during which the related expenses are incurred. Our operating expenses for 2021 and 2020 include approximately $737,000 and $677,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, of aggregate operating expenses related to two vacant specialty facilities located in Corpus Christi, Texas and Evansville, Indiana.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a widely recognized measure of performance for Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”). We believe that FFO and FFO per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, are helpful to our investors as measures of our operating performance. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. FFO adjusts for the effects of certain items, such as gains on transactions that occurred during the periods presented. To the extent a REIT recognizes a gain or loss with respect to the sale of incidental assets, the REIT has the option to exclude or include such gains and losses in the calculation of FFO. We have opted to exclude gains and losses from sales of incidental assets in our calculation of FFO.  FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) a measure of our liquidity, or; (iv) an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

Below is a reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO for 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

	2021			2020
Net income	$	109,166		$	19,447
Depreciation and amortization expense on consolidated investments		27,478			25,581
Depreciation and amortization expense on unconsolidated affiliates		1,549			1,202
Gains on divestitures of real estate assets		(87,314	)		—
Funds From Operations	$	50,879		$	46,230
Weighted average number of shares outstanding - Diluted		13,779			13,765
Funds From Operations per diluted share	$	3.69		$	3.36

Our FFO increased by $4.6 million, or $.33 per diluted share, during 2021 as compared to 2020 due to: (i) the net increase of $2.4 million, or $.17 per diluted share, resulting from the increase in net income of $89.7 million, or $6.51 per diluted share, as discussed above, excluding the gain on divestitures of $87.3 million, or $6.34 per diluted share, recorded during 2021, and; (ii) a favorable impact of $2.2 million, or $.16 per diluted share, resulting from an increase in depreciation and amortization expense on consolidated and unconsolidated affiliates, largely due to the depreciation expense recorded in connection with the Clive Behavioral Health facility which was completed in December, 2020.  

During 2021, we had a total of 56 new or renewed leases related to the medical office buildings as indicated in Item 2. Properties, in which we have significant investments, some of which are accounted for by the equity method. These leases comprised approximately 29% of the aggregate rentable square feet of these properties (26% related to renewed leases and 3% related to new leases). During 2020, we had a total of 39 new or renewed leases related to the medical office buildings, in which we have significant investments, some of which are accounted for by the equity method. These leases comprised approximately 30% of the aggregate rentable square feet of these properties (21% related to renewed leases and 9% related to new leases).  

Rental rates, tenant improvement costs and rental concessions vary from property to property based upon factors such as, but not limited to, the current occupancy and age of our buildings, local overall economic conditions, proximity to hospital campuses and the vacancy rates, rental rates and capacity of our competitors in the market. In connection with lease renewals executed during each year, the weighted-average rental rates, as compared to rental rates on the expired leases, increased by approximately 1% during 2021 and decreased by approximately 1% during 2020.  The weighted-average tenant improvement costs associated with new or renewed leases was approximately $5 and $18 per square foot during 2021 and 2020, respectively. The weighted-average leasing commissions on the new and renewed leases commencing during each year was approximately 2% of base rental revenue over the term of the leases during 2021 and 3% of base rental revenue over the term of the leases during 2020. The average aggregate value of the tenant concessions, generally consisting of rent abatements, provided in connection with new and renewed leases commencing during each

41

year was approximately 0.8% and 0.9% of the future aggregate base rental revenue over the lease terms during 2021 and 2020, respectively. Rent abatements were, or will be, recognized in our results of operations under the straight-line method over the lease term regardless of when payments are due.

Other Operating Results

Interest Expense:

Reflected below are the components of our interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands):

	2021			2020
Revolving credit agreement	$	4,282		$	4,608
Mortgage interest		2,505			2,600
Interest rate swaps expense, net (a.)		1,283			737
Amortization of financing fees		790			765
Amortization of fair value of debt		(51	)		(52	)
Capitalized interest on major projects	-				(395	)
Interest expense, net	$	8,809		$	8,263

(a.) Represents net interest paid by us to the counterparties pursuant to three interest rates SWAPs with a combined notional amount of $140 million.

Interest expense increased by $546,000 during 2021 as compared to 2020 due to:  (i) a $326,000 decrease in interest expense on our revolving credit agreement resulting from a decrease in our average cost of borrowings (1.69% effective rate during 2021 as compared to 2.10% effective rate during 2020), partially offset by an increase in our average outstanding borrowings ($253.5 million during 2021 as compared to $219.1 million during 2020); (ii) a $546,000 net increase in interest expense related to interest rate swaps; (iii) a $95,000 decrease in mortgage interest expense; (iv) a $395,000 increase in interest expense due to a decrease in capitalized interest on major projects (no capitalized interest recorded during 2021 since both newly constructed facilities were substantially completed in December, 2020), and; (v) a $26,000 increase due to an increase in amortization of financing fees and fair value of debt.

Disclosures Related to Certain Hospital Facilities

Please refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements - Lease Accounting, for additional information regarding certain of our hospital facilities including the lease renewal for Wellington Regional Medical Center located in West Palm Beach, Florida, information related to vacant facilities located in Evansville, Indiana; Corpus Christi, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois, and disclosure regarding the asset purchase and sale agreement with wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS that was completed on December 31, 2021.  

Effects of Inflation

The healthcare industry is very labor intensive and salaries and benefits related to the employees of our tenants are subject to inflationary pressures, as are supply costs, construction costs and medical equipment and other costs. The nationwide shortage of nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel has been a significant operating issue facing healthcare providers. In particular, the healthcare industry continues to experience a shortage of nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel in certain geographic areas, which has been exacerbated by the COVID‑19 pandemic. The operators of our hospital properties are treating patients with COVID‑19 and, in some areas, the increased demand for care is putting a strain on their resources and staff, which has required them to utilize higher‑cost temporary labor and pay premiums above standard compensation for essential workers. The length and extent of the disruptions caused by the COVID‑19 pandemic are currently unknown; however, the tenants of our facilities expect such disruptions to continue into 2022 and potentially throughout the duration of the pandemic and beyond. This staffing shortage may require our tenants to further enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel or require them to hire expensive temporary personnel. Their ability to pass on increased costs associated with providing healthcare to Medicare and Medicaid patients is limited due to various federal, state and local laws which have been enacted that, in certain cases, limit their ability to increase prices. Therefore, there can be no assurance that these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations of the operators of our facilities which may affect their ability to make lease payments to us.  In addition, we have experienced cost increases related to the construction of new facilities and renovations at existing facilities which could have an adverse effect on our future results of operations.  

Most of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Our hospital leases require all building operating expenses, including maintenance, real estate taxes and other costs, to be paid by the lessee. In addition, most of our MOB leases require the tenant to pay an allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, insurance

42

and real estate taxes. These provisions may reduce our exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation. To the extent that some leases do not contain such provisions, our future operating results may be adversely impacted by the effects of inflation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020:

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $47.7 million during 2021 as compared to $44.2 million during 2020.  The $3.5 million net increase was attributable to:

• A favorable change of $4.4 million due to an increase in net income plus/minus the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities (depreciation and amortization, amortization related to above/below market leases, amortization of debt premium, amortization of deferred financing costs, stock-based compensation expense and gains on divestitures of real estate assets), as discussed above;

• an unfavorable change of $763,000 in tenant reserves, deposits and deferred and prepaid rents;

• an unfavorable change of $743,000 in lease receivables, and;

43

• other combined net favorable changes of $652,000.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $24.4 million during 2021 as compared to $27.2 million during 2020.

• received $418,000 of cash in excess of income from LLCs, and;

• our cash balance reflects an increase of $528,000 as a result of recording on a consolidated basis, an LP in which we acquired the third-party minority ownership interest, as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

2020:

During 2020, $27.2 million of net cash was used in investing activities as follows:

• spent $28.3 million for additions to real estate investments, including $22.2 million of construction costs related to the 100-bed behavioral health care hospital located in Clive, Iowa, that was substantially completed in December, 2020, and tenant improvements at various MOBs;

• spent $3.2 million in equity investments in unconsolidated LLCs;

• spent $2.3 million on the acquisition of the Sand Point Medical Properties building in late December, 2020, as discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, and;

• received $6.5 million of cash in excess of income from LLCs, including $5.2 million of cash proceeds generated from a construction loan obtained by Grayson Properties II during the second quarter of 2020.

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $6.5 million during 2021, as compared to $17.4 million during 2020.

2021:

The $6.5 million of cash used in financing activities during 2021 consisted of:

• paid approximately $38.5 million of dividends;

• received $35.7 million of additional net borrowings on our revolving line of credit;

• paid approximately $2.1 million on mortgage notes payable that are non-recourse to us;

44

• paid approximately $1.8 million of financing costs, related primarily to the July, 2021 amended and restated revolving credit agreement, and;

• received $215,000 from this issuance of shares of beneficial interest pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.

2020:

The $17.4 million of cash used in financing activities during 2020 consisted of:

• paid $38.0 million of dividends;

• received $23.3 million of additional net borrowings on our revolving line of credit;

• paid $1.9 million on mortgage notes payable that are non-recourse to us;

• paid $467,000 of financing costs related to the revolving credit agreement, including amendment fees, and;

• paid $235,000 to repurchase shares of our common stock in connection with income tax withholding obligations related to stock-based compensation.

Additional cash flow and dividends paid information for 2021 and 2020:

As indicated on our consolidated statements of cash flows, we generated net cash provided by operating activities of $47.7 million during 2021 and $44.2 million during 2020. As also indicated on our statements of cash flows, non-cash expenses including depreciation and amortization expense, amortization related to above/below market leases, amortization of debt premium, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation expense, as well as gains on divestitures of real estate assets (as applicable), are the primary differences between our net income and net cash provided by operating activities for each year.

We declared and paid dividends of $38.5 million during 2021 and $38.0 million during 2020. During 2021, the $47.7 million of net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $9.2 million greater than the $38.5 million of dividends paid during 2021. During 2020, the $44.2 million of net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $6.2 million greater than the $38.0 million of dividends paid during 2020.

As indicated in the cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities sections of the statements of cash flows, there were various other sources and uses of cash during each of the last three years.  From time to time, various other sources and uses of cash may include items such as investments and advances made to/from LLCs, additions to real estate investments, acquisitions/divestiture of properties, net borrowings/repayments of debt, and proceeds generated from the issuance of equity. Therefore, in any given period, the funding source for our dividend payments is not wholly dependent on the operating cash flow generated by our properties. Rather, our dividends as well as our capital reinvestments into our existing properties, acquisitions of real property and other investments are funded based upon the aggregate net cash inflows or outflows from all sources and uses of cash from the properties we own either in whole or through LLCs, as outlined above.

In determining and monitoring our dividend level on a quarterly basis, our management and Board of Trustees consider many factors in determining the amount of dividends to be paid each period. These considerations primarily include: (i) the minimum required amount of dividends to be paid in order to maintain our REIT status; (ii) the current and projected operating results of our properties, including those owned in LLCs, and; (iii) our future capital commitments and debt repayments, including those of our LLCs. Based upon the information discussed above, as well as consideration of projections and forecasts of our future operating cash flows, management and the Board of Trustees have determined that our operating cash flows have been sufficient to fund our dividend payments. Future dividend levels will be determined based upon the factors outlined above with consideration given to our projected future results of operations.

We expect to finance all capital expenditures and acquisitions and pay dividends utilizing internally generated and additional funds. Additional funds may be obtained through: (i) borrowings under our $375 million revolving credit agreement (which had $99.9 million of available borrowing capacity, net of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit as of December 31, 2021);   (ii)  borrowings under or refinancing of existing third-party debt pursuant to mortgage loan agreements entered into by our consolidated and unconsolidated LLCs/LPs; (iii) the issuance of equity pursuant to our at-the-market (“ATM”) equity issuance program, and/or; (iv) the issuance of other long-term debt.

We believe that our operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement and access to the capital markets provide us with sufficient capital resources to fund our operating, investing and financing requirements for the next twelve months, including providing sufficient capital to allow us to make distributions necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. In the event we need to access

45

the capital markets or other sources of financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms or within an acceptable time. Our inability to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us could have a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Credit facilities and mortgage debt

Management routinely monitors and analyzes the Trust’s capital structure in an effort to maintain the targeted balance among capital resources including the level of borrowings pursuant to our revolving credit facility, the level of borrowings pursuant to non-recourse mortgage debt secured by the real property of our properties and our level of equity including consideration of additional equity issuances pursuant to our ATM equity issuance program.  This ongoing analysis considers factors such as the current debt market and interest rate environment, the current/projected occupancy and financial performance of our properties, the current loan-to-value ratio of our properties, the Trust’s current stock price, the capital resources required for anticipated acquisitions and the expected capital to be generated by anticipated divestitures. This analysis, together with consideration of the Trust’s current balance of revolving credit agreement borrowings, non-recourse mortgage borrowings and equity, assists management in deciding which capital resource to utilize when events such as refinancing of specific debt components occur or additional funds are required to finance the Trust’s growth.

On July 2, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) to amend and restate the previously existing $350 million credit agreement, as amended and dated June 5, 2020 (“Prior Credit Agreement”). Among other things, under the Credit Agreement, our aggregate revolving credit commitment was increased to $375 million from $350 million.  The Credit Agreement, which is scheduled to mature on July 2, 2025, provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $375 million, including a $40 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $30 million sublimit for swingline/short-term loans.  Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we may request that the revolving line of credit be increased by up to an additional $50 million. Borrowings under the new facility are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Trust. In addition, borrowings under the new facility are secured by first priority security interests in and liens on all equity interests in most of the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest annually at a rate equal to, at our option, at either LIBOR (for one, three, or six months) or the Base Rate, plus in either case, a specified margin depending on our ratio of debt to total capital, as determined by the formula set forth in the Credit Agreement. The applicable margin ranges from 1.10% to 1.35% for LIBOR loans and 0.10% to 0.35% for Base Rate loans. The initial applicable margin is 1.25% for LIBOR loans and 0.25% for Base Rate loans. The Credit Agreement defines “Base Rate” as the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) one month LIBOR plus 1%. The Trust will also pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% (depending on the Trust’s ratio of debt to asset value) of the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit commitments.  The Credit Agreement also provides for options to extend the maturity date and borrowing availability for two additional six-month periods.

The margins over LIBOR, Base Rate and the facility fee are based upon our total leverage ratio.  At December 31, 2021, the applicable margin over the LIBOR rate was 1.25%, the margin over the Base Rate was 0.25% and the facility fee was 0.25%.  

At December 31, 2021, we had $271.9 million of outstanding borrowings and $3.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Agreement.  We had $99.9 million of available borrowing capacity, net of the outstanding borrowings and letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2021.  The carrying amount and fair value of borrowings outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement was $271.9 million at December 31, 2021. There are no compensating balance requirements.  The average amount outstanding under our Credit Agreement during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $253.5 million and $219.1 million, respectively, with corresponding effective interest rates of 2.2% and 2.4%, respectively, including commitment fees and interest rate swaps/caps. At December 31, 2020, we had $236.2 million of outstanding borrowings outstanding against our revolving credit agreement that was in effect at that time, $5.6 million of letters of credit outstanding against the agreement and $108.2 million of available borrowing capacity.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on certain indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and other investments, fundamental changes, asset dispositions and dividends and other distributions. The Credit Agreement also contains restrictive covenants regarding the Trust’s ratio of total debt to total assets, the fixed charge coverage ratio, the ratio of total secured debt to total asset value, the ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value, and minimum tangible net worth, as well as customary events of default, the occurrence of which may trigger an acceleration of amounts then outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We are in compliance with all of the covenants in the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2021 and were in compliance with all of the covenants in the Prior Credit Agreement at December 31, 2020. We also believe that we would remain in compliance if, based on the assumption that the majority of the potential new borrowings will be used to fund investments, the full amount of our commitment was borrowed.

46

The following table includes a summary of the required compliance ratios at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, giving effect to the covenants contained in the Credit Agreements in effect on the respective dates (dollar amounts in thousands):

Total mortgage notes payable, non-recourse to us, net					$	56,866		$	58,895

(a.) All mortgage loans require monthly principal payments through maturity and either fully amortize or include a balloon principal payment upon maturity.    

(b.) This loan is scheduled to mature within the next twelve months, at which time we will decide whether to refinance pursuant to a new mortgage loan or by utilizing borrowings under our Credit Agreement.  

The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. The mortgages outstanding as of December 31, 2021 had a combined carrying value of approximately $57.2 million and a combined fair value of approximately $59.4 million. At December 31, 2020, we had various mortgages, all of which were non-recourse to us, included in our consolidated balance sheet.  The combined outstanding balance of these various mortgages was $59.2 million and these mortgages had a combined fair value of approximately $62.0 million.

The fair value of our debt was computed based upon quotes received from financial institutions.  We consider these to be “level 2” in the fair value hierarchy as outlined in the authoritative guidance for disclosure in connection with debt instruments.  Changes in market rates on our fixed rate debt impacts the fair value of debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow.

Contractual Obligations and Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2021 we are party to certain off balance sheet arrangements consisting of standby letters of credit and equity and debt financing commitments.  Our outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2021 totaled $3.2 million related to Grayson Properties II.  As of December 31, 2020, our outstanding letters of credit totaled $5.6 million related to Grayson Properties II.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risks Associated with Financial Instruments

LIBOR Transition

In 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to phase out LIBOR and stop compelling banks to submit rates for its calculation.   In 2021, the FCA further announced that effective January 1, 2022, the one week and two-month USD LIBOR tenors are no longer being published, and all other USD LIBOR tenors will cease to be published after June 30, 2023.

The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts.  We are not able to predict how the markets will respond to SOFR or any other alternative reference rate as the transition away from LIBOR continues in the coming years.  Any changes adopted by FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR.  If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

48

At December 31, 2021, we had contracts that are indexed to LIBOR, such as our unsecured revolving credit facility and interest rate derivatives. We are monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which include interest on loans or amounts received and paid on derivative instruments. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require negotiation with the respective counterparty.  Our unsecured revolving credit facility contains provisions specifying alternative interest rate calculations to be employed when LIBOR ceases to be available as a benchmark. 

We currently expect the LIBOR-indexed rates included in our debt agreements to be available until June 30, 2023. We anticipate managing the transition to a preferred alternative rate using the language set out in our agreements, however, future market conditions may not allow immediate implementation of desired modifications and we may incur significant associated costs in doing so. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the potential impact on our debt payments and value of our related debt, however, we are not able to predict when LIBOR-indexed rates (other than one week and two-month tenors which are not included in our debt agreements and are no longer being published) will cease to be available.

Financial Instruments

In March 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $55 million with a fixed interest rate of 0.565% that we designated as a cash flow hedge.  The interest rate swap became effective on March 25, 2020 and is scheduled to mature on March 25, 2027. If the one-month LIBOR is above 0.565%, the counterparty pays us, and if the one-month LIBOR is less than 0.565%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 0.565% and one-month LIBOR.

In January 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $35 million with a fixed interest rate of 1.4975% that we designated as a cash flow hedge.  The interest rate swap became effective on January 15, 2020 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024. If the one-month LIBOR is above 1.4975%, the counterparty pays us, and if the one-month LIBOR is less than 1.4975%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 1.4975% and one-month LIBOR.  

During the third quarter of 2019, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $50 million with a fixed interest rate of a 1.144%. that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on September 16, 2019 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024. If the one-month LIBOR is above 1.144%, the counterparty pays us, and if the one-month LIBOR is less than 1.144%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 1.144% and one-month LIBOR.

We measure our interest rate swaps at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is based on quotes from third parties.  We consider those inputs to be “level 2” in the fair value hierarchy as outlined in the authoritative guidance for disclosures in connection with derivative instruments and hedging activities. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was a net asset of $1.1 million which is included in deferred charges and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During the twelve months of 2021, we paid or accrued approximately $1.3 million in net payments made to the counterparty by us, adjusted for accruals, pursuant to the terms of the swaps. From inception of the swap agreements through December 31, 2021 we paid or accrued approximately $1.9 million in net payments made to the counterparty by us pursuant to the terms of the swap (consisting of approximately $198,000 in payments or accruals made to us by the counterparty, offset by approximately $2.1 million of payments due to the counterparty from us).  During the twelve months of 2020, we paid or accrued approximately $733,000 in net payments made to the counterparty by us, adjusted for accruals, pursuant to the terms of the swaps (consisting of approximately $824,000 in payments, adjusted for accruals, or accruals made to the counterparty by us, offset by approximately $91,000 of payments paid to us by the counterparty). Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) within shareholders’ equity.  Amounts are classified from AOCI to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged transaction affects earnings.                

The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed and variable rate debt assumes current market rates with all other variables held constant. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value and carrying-value of our debt is approximately $331.3 million and $329.1 million, respectively. As of that date, the fair value exceeds the carrying-value by approximately $2.2 million.

The table below presents information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The interest rate swaps include the $50 million swap agreement entered into during the third quarter of 2019, the $35 million swap agreement entered into in January 2020 and the $55 million swap agreement entered into in March, 2020. For debt obligations, the amounts of which are as of December 31, 2021, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by contractual maturity dates.

(b) Includes $271.9 million of outstanding borrowings under the terms of our $375 million revolving credit agreement.

(c) Includes a $50.0 million interest rate swap that became effective on September 16, 2019, and a $35 million interest rate swap that became effective on January 15, 2020, both of which are scheduled to mature during 2024.  Additionally, included is a $55 million interest rate swap that became effective on March 25, 2020, which is scheduled to mature in 2027.

As calculated based upon our variable rate debt outstanding as of December 31, 2021 that is subject to interest rate fluctuations, and giving effect to the above-mentioned interest rate swap, each 1% change in interest rates would impact our net income by approximately $1.3 million.

ITEM  9A. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2021, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Trust’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management on a timely basis in order to comply with our disclosure obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the SEC rules thereunder.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during the fourth quarter of 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on its assessment, management has concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the COSO. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Universal Health Realty Income Trust:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 24, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Universal Health Realty Income Trust:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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.

Assessment of the carrying value of net real estate investments

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company tests net real estate investments for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. When such impairment indicators exist, the Company makes certain estimates of future undiscounted net cash flows, excluding interest charges, to perform the recoverability test. The net real estate investment balance as of December 31, 2021 was $438.1 million.

We identified the assessment of the carrying value of net real estate investments as a critical audit matter. There is a high degree of subjective and complex auditor judgement in evaluating the relevant events or changes in circumstances that may indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. As applicable, future occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, and expected holding periods used to estimate the expected cash flows were challenging to test, due to the sensitivity of changes to those assumptions on the impact of the assessment of the recoverability of the asset.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s asset impairment process, including controls over identification and evaluation of events or changes in circumstances that may indicate the carrying amount of net real estate investments may not be recoverable. We examined the Company’s impairment indicator assessment, which included an evaluation that all of the Company’s net real estate investments were analyzed and potential impairment indicators were identified in the assessment. We performed an independent assessment of changes in property operating metrics and general market conditions related

59

to individual net real estate investments and compared the results of that assessment to the Company’s analysis. We read board of trustees meeting minutes and inquired with certain members of operating management to identify any significant adverse changes in the extent or manner in which net real estate investments are being used and their physical condition, legal factors and current strategies.

For properties that had impairment indicators that required further analysis, the following are the primary

procedures we performed. We tested certain internal controls over the Company’s process for evaluating

recoverability, including controls related to the determination of future occupancy, rental rates, and capital

requirement assumptions. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the Company’s estimates of future occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, and expected holding periods by comparing these assumptions against a range that was independently developed using publicly available market data for comparable assets.

Inland Valley Campus transaction

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, upon the scheduled expiration of the Southwest Healthcare System, Inland Valley Campus (the Property) lease on December 31, 2021, the existing tenant agreed to transfer, and lease back from the Company, substitution properties with an approximate aggregate fair-market value substantially equal to that of the Property (collectively, the Inland Valley Campus transaction). The Inland Valley Campus transaction was accounted for as a failed sale and leaseback and a gain of $68.4 million was recognized upon derecognition of the Property on December 31, 2021

We identified the evaluation of the accounting for the Inland Valley Campus transaction and the valuation of the Property and the substitution properties (collectively, the exchanged properties) as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the relevant accounting literature required complex auditor judgment. Subjective auditor judgment and the involvement of valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge was also required to assess the fair value of the exchanged properties.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s process to account for complex transactions. This included a control related to the evaluation of the appropriate accounting guidance for the Inland Valley Campus transaction. We assessed the Company’s compliance with the relevant accounting guidance by reading the lease contracts and the Company’s analysis of the Inland Valley Campus transaction. We also involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in evaluating the Company’s fair value of the exchanged properties by comparing to independently developed ranges of estimates based on publicly available sales of comparable properties and comparing the replacement cost value of the exchanged properties to ranges based on market data, including industry guides.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2021

(1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations      

Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries (the “Trust”) is organized as a Maryland real estate investment trust. We invest in healthcare and human-service related facilities currently including acute care hospitals, behavioral health care hospitals, specialty facilities, free-standing emergency departments, childcare centers and medical/office buildings. As of February 24, 2022, we have seventy-five real estate investments located in twenty-one states consisting of:

• six hospital facilities consisting of three acute care hospitals and three behavioral health care hospitals;

• four free-standing emergency departments (“FEDs”);

• fifty-eight medical/office buildings (“MOBs”), including one under construction and including four owned by unconsolidated limited liability companies (“LLCs”)/limited liability partnerships (“LPs”);

• four preschool and childcare centers, and;

• three specialty facilities that are currently vacant.

We are subject to risks associated with public health threats and epidemics, including the health concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and the federal government declared COVID-19 a national emergency. As a result of various policies implemented by the federal and state governments, and varying by individual state, many non-essential businesses in the nation were closed for varying time periods.  

The COVID-19 vaccination process commenced during the first quarter of 2021. Since that time through the second quarter of 2021, the operators of our acute care hospitals had generally experienced a decline in COVID-19 patients as well as a corresponding recovery in non-COVID patient activity.  However, during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, and continuing into the first quarter of 2022, the operators of our acute care hospitals and certain other facilities generally experienced an increase in COVID-19 patients resulting from the Delta and, more recently, the highly transmissible Omicron variants. Booster doses for COVID-19 vaccinations began during the third quarter of 2021, and while we expect the administration of vaccines booster doses will assist in easing the number of COVID-19 patients, the pace at which this is likely to occur is very difficult to predict.

Although COVID-19 has not had a material adverse impact on our results of operations through December 31, 2021, we believe that the potentially adverse impact that the pandemic may have on the future operations and financial results of our tenants, and in turn ours, will depend upon many factors, most of which are beyond our, or our tenants’, ability to control or predict.  Such factors include, but are not limited to, the length of time and severity of the spread of the pandemic; the volume of cancelled or rescheduled elective procedures and the volume of COVID-19 patients treated by the operators of our hospitals and other healthcare facilities; measures our tenants are taking to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic; the impact of government and administrative regulation, including travel bans and restrictions, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders, quarantines, the promotion of social distancing, business shutdowns and limitations on business activity; changes in patient volumes at our tenants’ hospitals and other healthcare facilities due to patients’ general concerns related to the risk of contracting COVID-19 from interacting with the healthcare system; the impact of stimulus on the health care industry and our tenants; changes in patient volumes and payer mix caused by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions (including increases in uninsured and underinsured patients as the result of business closings and layoffs); potential disruptions to clinical staffing and shortages and disruptions related to supplies required for our tenants’ employees and patients, including equipment, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, particularly personal protective equipment, or PPE; potential increases to expenses incurred by our tenants related to staffing, supply chain or other expenditures; the impact of our indebtedness and the ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms; disruptions in the financial markets and the business of financial institutions as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact our ability to access capital or increase associated borrowing costs; and changes in general economic conditions nationally and regionally in the markets our properties are located resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased unemployment and underemployment levels and reduced consumer spending and confidence. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the future business, financial position and results of operations of the operators of our facilities, and in turn, ours.

Bonus rents earned by us on one acute care hospital leased to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc., is computed based upon a computation that compares the hospital’s current quarter revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base

66

year; we could therefore experience a significant decline in future bonus rental revenue earned on this property should this hospital experience significant declines in patient volumes and revenues.

Certain factors may result in the inability or unwillingness on the part of some of our tenants to make timely payment of their rent to us at current levels or to seek to amend or terminate their leases which, in turn, would have an adverse effect on our occupancy levels and our revenue and cash flow and the value of our properties, and potentially, our ability to maintain our dividend at current levels. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and its impact on the economy, we may experience a decrease in prospective tenants which could unfavorably impact the volume of new leases, as well as the renewal rate of existing leases. The COVID-19 pandemic could also impact our indebtedness and the ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms, as well as risks associated with disruptions in the financial markets and the business of financial institutions as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact us from a financing perspective; and changes in general economic conditions nationally and regionally in the markets our properties are located resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Decreases in cash flows and results of operations may have an impact on the inputs and assumptions used in significant accounting estimates, including potential impairments of intangible and long-lived assets.

Our future results of operations could be unfavorably impacted by government regulations and deterioration in general economic conditions which could result in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or uninsured. Should that occur, it may result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings as well as a reduction in the revenues earned by the operators of our hospital facilities which would unfavorably impact our future bonus rental revenue (on one Universal Health Services, Inc. hospital facility) and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms and the underlying value of the hospital properties.  Management is unable to predict the effect, if any, that these factors may have on the operating results of our lessees or on their ability to meet their obligations under the terms of their leases with us. Management’s estimate of future cash flows from our leased properties could be materially affected in the near term, if certain of the leases are not renewed or renewed with less favorable terms at the end of their lease terms.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate

Purchase accounting is applied to the assets and liabilities related to most real estate investments acquired from third parties. In accordance with current accounting guidance, we account for most of our property acquisitions as acquisitions of assets, which requires the capitalization of acquisition costs to the underlying assets and prohibits the recognition of goodwill or bargain purchase gains. The fair value of most of the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above market rate assumed loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below market assumed loans, are recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.  Please see additional disclosure below regarding “Financing Assets”.

The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property are determined based on comparable land sales for land and replacement costs adjusted for physical and market obsolescence for the improvements. The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property are also determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property based on assumptions that a market participant would use, which is similar to methods used by independent appraisers. In addition, there is intangible value related to having tenants leasing space in the purchased property, which is referred to as in-place lease value. Such value results primarily from the buyer of a leased property avoiding the costs associated with leasing the property and also avoiding rent losses and unreimbursed operating expenses during the hypothetical lease-up period. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) estimated fair market lease rates from the perspective of a market participant for the corresponding in-place leases, measured, for above-market leases, over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases.

At December 31, 2021, our net intangible assets total $10.0 million (net of $14.2 million accumulated amortization) and primarily consist of the value of in-place leases.  At December 31, 2021, our net intangible value of in-place leases total $8.6 million (net of $13.2 million of accumulated amortization) and will be amortized over the remaining lease terms (aggregate weighted average of 4.0 years at December 31, 2021) and are expected to result in estimated aggregate amortization expense of, $1.9 million, $1.6 million, $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $2.8  million for 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 and thereafter, respectively. Amortization expense on intangible values of in place leases was $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The remaining amount of our net intangible assets primarily consists of above-market leases. At December 31, 2021, our net intangible value of above-market leases total $1.1 million (net of $982,000 of accumulated amortization) and will be amortized over the remaining lease terms (aggregate weighted average of approximately 5.6 years at December 31, 2021) and are expected to result in estimated aggregate amortization offset to rental revenue of approximately $199,000 in 2022, $196,000 in 2023, $168,000 in 2024, $168,000 in 2025 and $402,000 in 2026 and thereafter. Amortization offset to rental revenue on intangible values of above-market leases was $205,000, $202,000 and $189,000  for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and capital improvements. The estimated original useful lives of our buildings range from 25-45 years and the estimated original useful lives of capital improvements ranges from 3-35 years. On a consolidated basis, depreciation expense was $23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $21.8 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Financing Assets

As discussed in Note 2 – Relationship with UHS and Related Party Transactions, on December 31, 2021 we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates. Pursuant to the agreement, UHS purchased from us the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System (“Inland Valley”) and transferred to us the real estate assets of Aiken Regional Medical Center (“Aiken”) and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”). In connection with this transaction, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases (with us as lessor) for initial lease terms of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. As a result of UHS’ purchase option within the lease agreements of Aiken and Canyon Creek, the transaction is accounted for as a failed sale leaseback in accordance with U.S. GAAP and we have accounted for the transaction with UHS as a financing arrangement. A portion of the monthly lease payment to us from UHS will be recorded to interest income based upon an imputed interest rate and the remainder will reduce the outstanding financing receivable. In connection with this transaction, our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 reflects a financing receivable of $82.4 million, which is the aggregate fair value of the real estate assets that we received as part of the transaction (Aiken and Canyon Creek).  As of December 31, 2021 there are no indicators of impairment and the financing receivable will be assessed for recoverability in accordance with our asset impairment policy.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Asset Impairment  

We review each of our properties for indicators that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Examples of such indicators may include a significant decrease in the market price of the property, a change in the expected holding period for the property, a significant adverse change in how the property is being used or expected to be used based on the underwriting at the time of acquisition, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of the property, or a history of operating or cash flow losses of the property. When such impairment indicators exist, we review an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition and compare that estimate to the carrying value of the property. We consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If our future undiscounted net cash flow evaluation indicates that we are unable to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Since cash flows on properties considered to be long-lived assets to be held and used are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether the carrying value of a property is recoverable, our strategy of holding properties over the long-term directly decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable and therefore requiring the recording of an impairment loss. If our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material. If we determine that the asset fails the recoverability test, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value.

68

We generally estimate the fair value of rental properties utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that includes projections of future revenues, expenses and capital improvement costs that a market participant would use based on the highest and best use of the asset, which is similar to the income approach that is commonly utilized by appraisers. In certain cases, we may supplement this analysis by obtaining outside broker opinions of value or third -party appraisals.

In considering whether to classify a property as held for sale, we consider factors such as whether management has committed to a plan to sell the property, the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition for a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value, the sale of the property is probable, and actions required for management to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will made to the plan.  If all the criteria are met, we classify the property as held for sale.  Upon being classified as held for sale, depreciation and amortization related to the property ceases and it is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The assets and related liabilities of the property are classified separately on the consolidated balance sheets for the most recent reporting period. Only those assets held for sale that constitute a strategic shift or that will have a major effect on our operations are classified as discontinued operations. 

Investments in Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”)

In accordance with U.S. GAAP and guidance relating to accounting for investments and real estate ventures, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs/LPs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting.  The third-party members in these investments have equal voting rights with regards to issues such as, but not limited to: (i) divestiture of property; (ii) annual budget approval, and; (iii) financing commitments. These investments, which represent 33% to 95% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to, and distributions from, the investments. Pursuant to certain agreements, allocations of sales proceeds and profits and losses of some of the LLC investments may be allocated disproportionately as compared to ownership interests after specified preferred return rate thresholds have been satisfied.

Distributions received from equity method investees in the consolidated statements of cash flows are classified based upon the nature of the distribution.  Returns on investments are presented net of equity in income from unconsolidated investments as cash flows from operating activities.  Returns of investments are classified as cash flows from investing activities.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we purchased the third-party 5% ownership interest in Grayson Properties, LP which owns the Texoma Medical Plaza, an MOB located in Denison, Texas, for a purchase price of approximately $3.1 million.  We formerly held a non-controlling majority ownership interest in this LP.  As a result of our purchase of the minority ownership interest, we now hold 100% of the ownership interest in this LP and we began accounting for this LP on a consolidated basis effective with the minority ownership interest purchase date. The property’s assets and liabilities are recorded at the carrying amount of its previously held interest, plus the incremental cost which was allocated based upon relative fair values.  A third-party appraisal was completed to determine the fair value of the property.  We do not expect a material impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of this LP subsequent to the transaction.  

At December 31, 2021, we have non-controlling equity investments or commitments in four jointly-owned LLCs/LPs which own MOBs.  We account for these LLCs/LPs on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since they are not variable interest entities which we are the primary beneficiary nor do we have a controlling voting interest. The majority of these entities are joint-ventures between us and non-related parties that hold minority ownership interests in the entities. Each entity is generally self-sustained from a cash flow perspective and generates sufficient cash flow to meet its operating cash flow requirements and service the third-party debt (if applicable) that is non-recourse to us. Although there is typically no ongoing financial support required from us to these entities since they are cash-flow sufficient, we may, from time to time, provide funding for certain purposes such as, but not limited to, significant capital expenditures, leasehold improvements and debt financing. Although we are not obligated to do so, if approved by us at our sole discretion, additional cash funding is typically advanced as equity or member loans. These entities maintain property insurance on the properties.  

An other-than-temporary impairment of an investment in an unconsolidated LLC is recognized when the carrying value of the investment is not considered recoverable based on evaluation of the severity and duration of the decline in value, including projected declines in cash flow. To the extent impairment has occurred, the excess carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

Federal Income Taxes

No provision has been made for federal income tax purposes since we qualify as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and intend to continue to remain so qualified. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable

69

income to shareholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal, state or local income tax on income that we distribute as dividends to our shareholders.

We are subject to a federal excise tax computed on a calendar year basis. The excise tax equals 4% of the amount by which 85% of our ordinary income plus 95% of any capital gain income for the calendar year exceeds cash distributions during the calendar year, as defined. No provision for excise tax has been reflected in the financial statements as no tax was due.

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal tax purposes in the cost basis of assets and in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and the recording of provision for impairment losses.

The aggregate gross cost basis and net book value of the properties for federal income tax purposes are approximately $672 million (unaudited) and $417 million (unaudited), respectively, at December 31, 2021.  The aggregate cost basis and net book value of the properties for federal income tax purposes were approximately $645 million (unaudited) and $406 million (unaudited), respectively, at December 31, 2020.

Stock-Based Compensation

We expense the grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards over the vesting period. We recognize the grant-date fair value of equity-based compensation and account for these transactions using the fair-value based method.

The expense associated with share-based compensation arrangements is a non-cash charge. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, stock-based compensation expense is an adjustment to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities.

Fair Value

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and determined based upon the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, accounting requirements establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Level 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). In instances when it is necessary to establish the fair value of our real estate investments and investments in LLCs we use unobservable inputs which are typically based on our own assumptions.

The fair value of our real estate investments, components of real estate investments and debt assumed in conjunction with acquisition and impairment activity, are considered to be Level 3 valuations as they are primarily based upon an income capitalization approach. Significant inputs into the models used to determine fair value of real estate investments and components of real estate investments include future cash flow projections, holding period, terminal capitalization rate and discount rates. Additionally, the fair value of land takes into consideration comparable sales, as adjusted for site specific factors. The fair value of real estate investments is based upon significant judgments made by management, and accordingly, we typically obtain assistance from third party valuation specialists. Significant inputs into the models used to determine the fair value of assumed mortgages included the outstanding balance, term, stated interest rate and current market rate of the mortgage.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Accordingly, these items are excluded from the fair value disclosures included elsewhere in these notes to the consolidated financial statements. 

Concentration of Revenues

The rental revenue earned pursuant to the lease on McAllen Medical Center, which is leased to a related party (see Note 2), generated approximately 10% during 2021, approximately 10% during 2020 and approximately 10% during 2019, of our consolidated revenues.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Standards  

Except as noted below there were no new accounting pronouncements that impacted or are expected to impact us.  

Accounting for Lease Concessions Granted in Connection with COVID-19

On April 8, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") held a public meeting and shortly afterwards issued a question-and-answer ("Q&A") document which was intended to provide accounting relief for lease concessions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The accounting relief permits an entity to choose to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of a lease contract, which is a requirement of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases, which we adopted on January 1, 2019, as long as the total rent payments after the lease concessions are substantially the same, or less than, the total payments previously required by the lease. An entity may account for COVID-19 related lease concessions either (i) as if they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract; or (ii) as a lease modification. To the extent that a rent concession is granted as a deferral of payments, but the total lease payments are substantially the same, lessors are allowed to account for the concession as if no change had been made to the original lease contract.

Based on the Q&A, an entity is not required to account for all lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic under one elected option, however, the entity is required to apply the elected option consistently to leases with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances. The COVID-19 pandemic did not start to adversely impact the economic conditions in the United States until late March 2020 and did not have a material effect on our operations or financial results during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 848, “Reference Rate Reform.” The amendments in this update contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASC 848 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. We will evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

(2) RELATIONSHIP WITH UHS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS  

Leases:    We commenced operations in 1986 by purchasing certain properties from subsidiaries of UHS and immediately leasing the properties back to the respective subsidiaries. The base rentals and lease and renewal terms for each of the hospitals leased to subsidiaries of UHS as of January 1, 2022 are provided below. The base rents are paid monthly. The lease on McAllen Medical Center also provides for bonus rent which is paid quarterly based upon a computation that compares the hospital’s current quarter revenue to a corresponding quarter in the base year. The hospital leases with subsidiaries of UHS, with the exception of the lease on Clive Behavioral Health Hospital (which is operated by UHS in a joint venture with an unrelated third party), are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another.

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the three acute care and one behavioral health care hospital facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS at December 31, 2021, (McAllen Medical Center, Wellington Regional Medical Center, Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare and Clive Behavioral Health), before giving effect to the December 31, 2021 asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates as discussed below, accounted for approximately 23% of our consolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2021 (approximately 25%, 22% and 22% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively). In addition to these four UHS hospital facilities, we have twenty properties consisting of MOBs (including one under construction) and FEDs that are either wholly or jointly-owned by us that include, or will include, tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS.  The aggregate revenues generated from UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 32% of our consolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2021 (approximately 37%, 33% and 31% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively).

On December 31, 2021, we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates pursuant to the terms of which:

• a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased from us, the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System located in Wildomar, California, at its fair market value of $79.6 million.

• two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS transferred to us, the real estate assets of the following properties:

o Aiken Regional Medical Center (“Aiken”), located in Aiken, South Carolina (which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion), at its fair-market value of approximately $57.7 million, and;

o Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”), located in Temple, Texas, at its fair-market value of approximately $24.7 million.

71

• in connection with this transaction, since the fair-market value of Aiken and Canyon Creek, which totaled approximately $82.4 million in the aggregate, exceeded the $79.6 million fair-market value of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System, we paid approximately $2.8 million in cash to UHS.  This transaction generated a gain of approximately $68.4 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021.

We have accounted for the asset sale and purchase agreement with UHS as a financing arrangement and our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 reflects a financing receivable for the $82.4 million fair market value of the real estate assets that we received as part of the transaction. Additionally, we structured the purchase and sale of the above-mentioned properties as a like-kind exchange of property under the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Also on December 31, 2021, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases (with us as lessor), for initial lease terms on each property of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. Subject to the terms of the master lease, Aiken and Canyon Creek have the right to renew their leases, at the then current fair market rent (as defined in the master lease), for seven, five-year optional renewal terms. The aggregate annual rental during 2022 pursuant to the leases for these two facilities, which is payable to us on a monthly basis, amounts to approximately $5.6 million (consisting of $3.9 million related to Aiken and $1.7 million related to Canyon Creek). There is no bonus rental component applicable to either of these leases. Beginning on January 1, 2023, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2033, the annual rental will increase by 2.25% on a cumulative and compounded basis. Pursuant to the terms of the lease on the Inland Valley Campus, we earned $4.5 million of lease revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.9 million in bonus rental) and $4.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.8 million in bonus rental).

Pursuant to the terms of the master leases by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 and December 31, 2021 (the “Master Leases”), which govern the leases of McAllen Medical Center, Wellington Regional Medical Center (governed by the Master Lease dated December 24, 1986), Aiken Regional Medical Center and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (governed by the Master Lease dated December 31, 2021), all of which are hospital properties that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the option, among other things, to renew the leases at the lease terms described below by providing notice to us at least 90 days prior to the termination of the then current term. UHS also has the right to purchase the respective leased facilities from us at their appraised fair market value upon any of the following: (i) at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms; (ii) upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, or; (iii) within the time period as specified in the leases in the event that UHS provides notice to us of their intent to offer a substitution property/properties in exchange for one (or more) of the four wholly-owned UHS hospital facilities leased from us, should we be unable to reach an agreement with UHS on the properties to be substituted. Additionally, UHS has rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for 180 days after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for 180 days after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer.   

A wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS is the managing, majority member in a joint-venture with an unrelated third-party that operates, and leases from us, Clive Behavioral Health.  This 100-bed behavioral health care facility is located in Clive, Iowa and was completed and opened in late December, 2020 and the hospital lease commenced on December 31, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, we earned $2.5 million of lease revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021. The lease on this facility is triple net and has an initial term of 20 years with five 10-year renewal options. Beginning on January 1, 2022, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2040 (and potentially through 2070 if the first three of five, 10-year renewal options are exercised), the annual rental will increase by 2.75% on a cumulative and compounded basis. The first three of the five 10-year renewal options will provide for annual rental as stipulated in the lease (2041 through 2070) and the two additional 10-year lease renewal options will be at fair market value lease rates (2071 through 2090). Pursuant to the lease on this facility, the joint venture has the option to, among other things, renew the lease at the terms specified in the lease agreement by providing notice to us at least 270 days prior to the termination of the then current term. The joint venture also has the right to purchase the leased facility from us at its appraised fair market value upon either of the following: (i) by providing notice at least 270 days prior to the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms, or; (ii) upon 30 days’ notice anytime within 12 months of a change of control of the Trust (UHS also has this right should the joint venture decline to exercise its purchase right). Additionally, the joint venture has rights of first offer to purchase the facility prior to any third-party sale.

The table below details the existing lease terms and renewal options for each of the hospital leases that are related to UHS as of January 1, 2022, consisting of three acute care hospitals and three behavioral health hospitals:

Hospital Name	Annual Minimum Rent		End of Lease Term	Renewal Term (years)
McAllen Medical Center	$	5,485,000	December, 2026	5 (a)
Wellington Regional Medical Center	$	6,319,000	December, 2026	5 (b)
Aiken Regional Medical Center/Aurora Pavilion Behavioral Health Services	$	3,895,000	December, 2033	35 (c)
Canyon Creek Behavioral Health	$	1,670,000	December, 2033	35 (c)
Clive Behavioral Health Hospital	$	2,628,000	December, 2040	50 (d)

72

(a) UHS has one 5-year renewal option at existing lease rates (through 2031).

(b) UHS has one 5-year renewal option at fair market value lease rates (through 2031; see additional disclosure below).

(c) UHS has seven 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2034 through 2068).

(d) The UHS-related joint venture has five 10-year renewal options; the first three of the five 10-year renewal options will be at computed lease rates as stipulated in the lease (2041 through 2070) and the last two 10-year renewal options will be at fair market lease rates (2071 through 2090).

Upon the December 31, 2021 expiration of the lease on Wellington Regional Medical Center located in West Palm Beach, Florida, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS exercised its fair market value renewal option and renewed the lease for a 5-year term scheduled to expire on December 31, 2026.  Effective January 1, 2022, the annual fair market value lease rate for this hospital, which is payable to us monthly, is $6.3 million (there is no longer a bonus rental component of the lease payment). Beginning on January 1, 2023, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2026, the annual rent will increase by 2.50% on a cumulative and compounded basis.  Pursuant to the hospital’s previous lease, we earned aggregate lease revenue of $5.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, ($3.0 million of base rental and $2.5 million of bonus rental) and $5.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 ($3.0 million of base rental and $2.1 million of bonus rental).  

Management cannot predict whether the leases with wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, which have renewal options at existing lease rates or fair market value lease rates, or any of our other leases, will be renewed at the end of their lease term. If the leases are not renewed at their current rates or the fair market value lease rates, we would be required to find other operators for those facilities and/or enter into leases on terms potentially less favorable to us than the current leases. In addition, if subsidiaries of UHS exercise their options to purchase the respective leased hospital or FED facilities upon expiration of the lease terms, our future revenues could decrease if we were unable to earn a favorable rate of return on the sale proceeds received, as compared to the rental revenue currently earned pursuant to these leases.  

In January, 2022, we entered into a ground lease and master flex-lease agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS with the intent to develop, construct and own the real property of Sierra Medical Plaza I, an MOB located in Reno, Nevada, consisting of approximately 86,000 rentable square feet. This MOB will be located on the campus of the Northern Nevada Sierra Medical Center, a newly constructed hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which is scheduled to be completed and opened during the first quarter of 2022. Construction of this MOB, for which we have engaged a non-related third party to act as construction manager, commenced in January, 2022. The cost of the MOB is estimated to be approximately $34 million. The master flex lease agreement, which is subject to reduction based upon the execution of third-party leases, is for approximately 68% of the rentable square feet of the MOB.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we purchased the 5% minority ownership interest held by a third-party member in Grayson Properties, LP which owns the Texoma Medical Plaza, an MOB located in Denison, Texas for approximately $3.1 million. The MOB is located on the campus of Texoma Medical Center, a hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. A third-party appraisal was completed to determine the fair value of the property.  As a result of this minority ownership purchase during the fourth quarter of 2021, we own 100% of the LP and are therefore consolidating this LP effective with the purchase date.  We do not expect a material impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of this LP subsequent to the transaction.  Please see Note 5 for additional disclosure surrounding this transaction.

In May, 2021, we acquired the Fire Mesa office building located in Las Vegas, Nevada for a purchase price of approximately $12.9 million.  The building is 100% leased under the terms of a triple net lease by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.  The initial lease is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2027 and has two five-year renewal options.  As discussed in Note 4, the acquisition of this office building is part of a series of planned tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

In September 2019, we entered into an agreement whereby we own a 95% non-controlling ownership interest in Grayson Properties II L.P., which developed, constructed, owns and operates the Texoma Medical Plaza II, an MOB located in Denison, Texas.  This MOB, which was substantially completed in December 2020, is located on the campus of Texoma Medical Center, a hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.  A 10-year master flex lease was executed with the wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS for over 50% of the rentable square feet of the MOB and commenced in December 2020 upon the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. We account for this LP on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since it is not a variable interest entity and we do not have a controlling voting interest.    

We are the lessee on twelve ground leases with subsidiaries of UHS (for consolidated and unconsolidated investments).  The remaining lease terms on the ground leases with subsidiaries of UHS range from approximately 28 years to approximately 77 years.  The annual aggregate lease payments on these properties are approximately $508,000 for the year ended 2021 and $508,000 for each of the years ended 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and an aggregate of $29.0 million thereafter. See Note 4 for further disclosure around our lease accounting.

Officers and Employees:    Our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and although as of December 31, 2021 we had no salaried employees, our officers do typically receive annual stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units. In special circumstances, if warranted and deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, our officers may also receive one-time compensation awards in the form of restricted stock and/or cash bonuses.

Advisory Agreement:    UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to us under an advisory agreement dated December 24, 1986, and as amended and restated as of January 1, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. All transactions between us and UHS must be approved by the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS (the “Independent Trustees”). In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees, that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement was renewed for 2022 with the same terms as the Advisory Agreement in place during 2021 and 2020.

Our advisory fee for 2021, 2020 and 2019 was computed at 0.70% of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheet.  Based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses, as compared to an industry peer group, the advisory fee computation remained unchanged for 2021, as compared to the last three years. The average real estate assets for advisory fee calculation purposes exclude certain items from our consolidated balance sheet such as, among other things, accumulated depreciation, cash and cash equivalents, lease receivables, deferred charges and other assets. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year-end based upon our audited financial statements. Advisory fees incurred and paid (or payable) to UHS amounted to $4.4 million during 2021, $4.1 million during 2020 and $4.0 million during 2019 and were based upon average invested real estate assets of $629 million, $592 million and $568 million during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Share Ownership:    As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, UHS owned 5.7% of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest.

SEC reporting requirements of UHS:    UHS is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is required to file annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. Since the aggregate revenues generated from UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 32% of our consolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2021 (approximately 37%, 33% and 31% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively), and since a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor, you are encouraged to obtain the publicly available filings for Universal Health Services, Inc. from the SEC’s website. These filings are the sole responsibility of UHS and are not incorporated by reference herein.

(3) PURCHASE AND SALE TRANSACTION, ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND NEW CONSTRUCTION

During 2021, we completed various transactions as described and noted below utilizing qualified third-party intermediaries, as part of a series of anticipated tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.  

Subsequent to 2021:

In January, 2022, as part of the series of like-kind exchange transactions mentioned above, we acquired the 140 Thomas Johnson Drive medical office building, located in Frederick, Maryland for a purchase price of approximately $8.0 million. The building is 100% leased to three tenants under the terms of triple-net leases.  Approximately 72% of the rentable square feet of this MOB is leased pursuant to a 15-year lease, with a remaining lease term of approximately 14 years at the time of purchase, with three, five-year renewal options.  

2021:

Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with UHS:

As previously disclosed on Form 8-K, as filed on January 4, 2022, on December 31, 2021, we entered into an asset purchase

and sale agreement, with UHS and certain of its affiliates pursuant to the terms of which:

• a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased from us, the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System located in Wildomar, California, at its fair market value of $79.6 million.

• two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS transferred to us, the real estate assets of the following properties:

74

o Aiken Regional Medical Center (“Aiken”), located in Aiken, South Carolina (which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion), at its fair-market value of approximately $57.7 million, and;

o Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”), located in Temple, Texas, at its fair-market value of approximately $24.7 million.

• in connection with this transaction, since the fair-market value of Aiken and Canyon Creek, which totaled approximately $82.4 million in the aggregate, exceeded the $79.6 million fair-market value of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System, we paid approximately $2.8 million in cash to UHS. This transaction generated a gain of approximately $68.4 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021.

We have accounted for the asset sale and purchase agreement with UHS as a financing arrangement and our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 reflects a financing receivable for the $82.4 million fair market value of the real estate assets that we received as part of the transaction. Additionally, we structured the purchase and sale of the above-mentioned properties as a like-kind exchange of property under the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Also on December 31, 2021, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases (with us as lessor), for initial lease terms on each property of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. Subject to the terms of the master lease, Aiken and Canyon Creek have the right to renew their leases, at the then current fair market rent (as defined in the master lease), for seven, five-year optional renewal terms. The aggregate annual rental during 2022 pursuant to the leases for these two facilities, which is payable to us on a monthly basis, amounts to approximately $5.6 million (consisting of $3.9 million related to Aiken and $1.7 million related to Canyon Creek). There is no bonus rental component on either of these leases. Beginning on January 1, 2023, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2033, the annual rental will increase by 2.25% on a cumulative and compounded basis.  Pursuant to the lease on the Inland Valley Campus, we earned $4.5 million of lease revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.9 million in bonus rental).

Acquisition:

In May, 2021, as a part of the series of tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions mentioned above, we acquired the Fire Mesa office building located in Las Vegas, Nevada for a purchase price of approximately $12.9 million. The building is 100% leased under the terms of a triple net lease with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.  The lease on this building is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2027 and has two five-year renewal options.

Divestitures:

In November, 2021, as a part of the series of tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions mentioned above, we sold the Auburn Medical Office Building II, a medical office building located in Auburn, Washington, for a sale price of approximately $24.9 million, net of closing costs.  At December 31, 2021, approximately $15.2 million of cash related to the sale proceeds is held by the qualified third-party intermediary that we utilized for the series of anticipated tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions, as mentioned above.     This divestiture generated a gain of approximately $17.6 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021.  

In June, 2021, as a part of the series of tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions mentioned above, we sold the Children’s Clinic at Springdale, a medical office building located in Springdale, Arkansas for a sale price of approximately $3.2 million, net of closing costs.  This divestiture resulted in a gain of approximately $1.3 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021.  

New Construction of Medical Office Building:

In January, 2022, we entered into a ground lease and master flex-lease agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS with the intent to develop, construct and own the real property of Sierra Medical Plaza I, an MOB located in Reno, Nevada, consisting of approximately 86,000 rentable square feet. This MOB will be located on the campus of the Northern Nevada Sierra Medical Center, a newly constructed hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which is scheduled to be completed and opened during the first quarter of 2022. Construction of this MOB, for which we have engaged a non-related third party to act as construction manager, commenced in January, 2022. The cost of the MOB is estimated to be approximately $34 million. A wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS has entered into a master flex lease agreement, which is subject to reduction based upon the execution of third-party leases, for approximately 68% of the rentable square feet of the MOB.

75

2020:

New Construction:

In September 2019, we entered into an agreement whereby we own a 95% non-controlling ownership interest in Grayson Properties II L.P., which developed, constructed, owns and operates the Texoma Medical Plaza II, an MOB located in Denison, Texas.  This MOB, which was substantially completed in December 2020, is located on the campus of Texoma Medical Center, a hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.  A 10-year master flex lease was executed with the wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS for over 50% of the rentable square feet of the MOB and commenced in December 2020 upon the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. This L.P. entered into a $13.1 million third-party construction loan, non-recourse to us, which is scheduled to mature in June 2025 and has an outstanding balance of $13.1 million as of December 31, 2021.  In addition, we have committed to invest up to $4.8 million in equity and debt financing, $1.8 million of which has been funded as of December 31, 2021.  We account for this LP on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since it is not a variable interest entity and we do not have a controlling voting interest.     

In late July 2019, Des Moines Medical Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, entered into an agreement to build and lease a newly constructed UHS-related behavioral health care hospital located in Clive, Iowa.  The lease on this facility, which is triple net and has an initial term of 20 years with five 10-year renewal options, was executed with Clive Behavioral Health, LLC, a joint venture between a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and Catholic Health Initiatives - Iowa, Corp. (“JV”).  Construction of this hospital, for which we engaged a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS to act as project manager for an aggregate fee of approximately $750,000, was substantially completed in December 2020 and the property received a temporary certificate of occupancy on December 31, 2020, at which time the hospital lease commenced.  Pursuant to the lease on this facility, the JV has the option to, among other things, renew the lease at the terms specified in the lease agreement by providing notice to us at least 270 days prior to the termination of the then current term. The JV also has the right to purchase the leased facility from us at its appraised fair market value upon either of the following: (i) by providing notice at least 270 days prior to the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms, or; (ii) upon 30 days’ notice anytime within 12 months of a change of control of the Trust (UHS also has this right should the JV decline to exercise its purchase right). Additionally, the JV has rights of first offer to purchase the facility prior to any third-party sale.

Acquisition:

On December 28, 2020, we acquired the Sand Point Medical Properties building located in Escanaba, Michigan for a purchase price of approximately $2.2 million.  The building is 100% leased under the terms of a 15-year double net lease (“NN”) with a remaining initial lease term of approximately 14 years at the time of purchase, with three, five-year renewal options.

Disposition:

There were no dispositions during 2020.

2019:

Acquisition:

In late November 2019, we acquired the Bellin Health Family Medicine Center located in Escanaba, Michigan for a purchase price of approximately $5.1 million.  The building is 100% leased under the terms of a triple net lease with a remaining initial lease term of approximately eight years at the time of purchase, with four, five-year renewal options.  

Dispositions:

In December 2019, we sold the Kings Crossing II medical office building, located in Kingwood, Texas for a sale price of approximately $2.5 million, net of closing costs.  This divestiture resulted in a gain of approximately $1.7 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2019.

During the first quarter of 2019, we sold a parcel of land located at one of our buildings for approximately $250,000.  This divestiture generated approximately $250,000 of cash proceeds to us, net of closing costs, and resulted in a gain of approximately $250,000 which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(4) LEASE ACCOUNTING

We adopted the lease standard ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 and applied it to leases that were in place on the effective date as both a lessor and lessee. Our results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019 are presented under the ASC 842 lease standard. We adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach and elected the optional transition method to apply the provisions of ASC 842 as of the adoption date, rather than the earliest period presented. We elected to apply certain adoption related practical expedients for all leases that commenced prior to the election date. This practical expedient allowed us to

76

not separate expenses reimbursed by our customers (“tenant reimbursements”) from the associated rental revenue if certain criteria were met.

As Lessor: 

We lease most of our operating properties to customers under agreements that are typically classified as operating leases (as noted below, two of our leases are accounted for as financing arrangements at December 31, 2021). We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, under the terms of our leases, the majority of our rental expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, are recovered from our customers. We record amounts reimbursed by customers in the period that the applicable expenses are incurred, which is generally ratably throughout the term of the lease.  We have elected the package of practical expedients that allows lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset. This practical expedient allowed us to not separate expenses reimbursed by our customers (“tenant reimbursements”) from the associated rental revenue if certain criteria were met.  We assessed these criteria and concluded that the timing and pattern of transfer for rental revenue and the associated tenant reimbursements are the same, and for the leases that qualify as operating leases, we accounted for and presented rental revenue and tenant reimbursements as a single component under Lease revenue in our consolidated statements of income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

On December 31, 2021, as a result of the asset purchase and sale transaction with UHS, the real estate assets of two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS were transferred to us (Aiken and Canyon Creek).  As discussed in Note 1, these assets are accounted for as financing arrangements and our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 reflects a financing receivable for the $82.4 million fair value of the real estate assets that we received.  The monthly lease payments received from the wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS will be recorded to interest income and reduce the outstanding financing receivable.   Lease revenue will not be impacted by the lease payments received related to these two properties.

The components of the “Lease revenue – UHS facilities” and “Lease revenue – Non-related parties” captions for the years ended 2021, 2020 and 2019 are disaggregated below (in thousands).  Base rents are primarily stated rent amounts provided for under the leases that are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  Bonus rents and tenant reimbursements represent amounts where tenants are contractually obligated to pay an amount that is variable in nature.    

	Year Ended December 31,
	2021		2020		2019
UHS Facilities:
Base rents	$	21,498	$	17,302	$	16,660

Disclosures Related to Certain Hospital Facilities:

Lease Renewal:

Wellington Regional Medical Center:

Upon the December 31, 2021 expiration of the lease on this acute care hospital located in West Palm Beach, Florida, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS exercised its fair market value renewal option and renewed the lease for a 5-year term scheduled to expire on December 31, 2026.  Effective January 1, 2022, the annual fair market value lease rate for this hospital, which is payable to us monthly, is $6.3 million (there is no longer a bonus rental component of the lease payment). Beginning on January 1, 2023, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2026, the annual rent will increase by 2.50% on a cumulative and compounded basis.  Pursuant to the hospital’s previous lease, we earned aggregate lease revenue of $5.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, (consisting of $3.0 million of base rental and $2.5 million of bonus rental) and $5.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (consisting of $3.0 million of base rental and $2.1 million of bonus rental).

Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement:

Southwest Healthcare System, Inland Valley Campus, Aiken Regional Medical Center and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health:

On December 31, 2021, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with us. Pursuant to the agreement: (i) a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System (“Inland Valley”) from us at its fair market value of $79.6 million; (ii) UHS transferred the real estate assets of two properties to us at their fair market values, consisting of Aiken Regional Medical Center (“Aiken”), which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion, at its fair market value of $57.7 million, and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”) at its fair market value of $24.7 million, and; (iii) we paid approximately $2.8 million in cash to UHS since the aggregate fair market value of Aiken and Canyon Creek ($82.4 million) exceeded the fair market value of Inland Valley ($79.6 million).  The transaction is accounted for as a failed sale leaseback and is therefore recorded as a financing arrangement instead of a real estate investment on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021. The aggregate annual rental during 2022, pursuant to the leases for Aiken and Canyon Creek (payable to us on a monthly basis), amounts to approximately $5.6 million (there is no bonus rental component on either of these leases) and as mentioned above, the lease payments received by us for these two facilities will be recorded as interest income and reduce the outstanding $82.4 million financing receivable that is recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021.  Pursuant to the terms of the lease on the Inland Valley Campus, we earned $4.5 million of lease revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.9 million in bonus rental) and $4.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.8 million in bonus rental).  

Vacant Properties:

Evansville, Indiana, Corpus Christi, Texas and Chicago, Illinois:

The leases on two specialty facilities, located in Evansville, Indiana, and Corpus Christi, Texas, expired on May 31, 2019 and June 1, 2019, respectively. Each facility has remained vacant since 2019. The lease on the 4058 W. Melrose specialty facility, located in Chicago, Illinois, expired on December 31, 2021 and the facility is currently vacant. Pursuant to the terms of the lease on the 4058 W. Melrose property, we earned approximately $1.6 million of lease revenue during each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and approximately $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The aggregate annual operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) incurred by us in connection with the Evansville, Indiana, and Corpus Christi, Texas, facilities amounted to $737,000 during 2021. The former tenant was responsible for the operating expenses of the Chicago, Illinois, property during 2021. The 2022 aggregate operating expenses for the three vacant specialty facilities, including the facility in Illinois, are estimated to be approximately $2.5 million annually. Future operating expenses related to these three facilities will be incurred by us during the time they remain owned and vacant. We continue to market each of these properties to potential interested parties. However, should the properties continue to remain vacant for an extended period of time, or should we experience a decrease in the lease rates on a future leases, as compared to the previous leases, or incur substantial renovations costs to make the properties suitable for another operator/tenant, our future results of operations could be materially unfavorably impacted.  

78

Minimum future base rents from non-cancelable leases related to properties included in our financial statements on a consolidated basis, excluding increases resulting from changes in the consumer price index, bonus rents and the impact of straight-line rent adjustments, are as follows (amounts in thousands):    

For the year ended December 31,	Amount
2022	$	66,397
2023		61,045
2024		53,385
2025		48,659
2026		44,520
Thereafter		146,870
Total minimum base rents	$	420,876

Some of the leases contain gross terms where operating expenses are included in the base rent amounts. Other leases contain net terms where the operating expenses are assessed separately from the base rentals. The table above contains a mixture of both gross and net leases and does not include any separately calculated operating expense reimbursements. Under the terms of the hospital leases, the lessees are required to pay all operating costs of the properties including property insurance and real estate taxes. Tenants of the medical office buildings generally are required to pay their pro-rata share of the property’s operating costs.

ASU 2016-02 requires that lessors expense certain initial direct costs, which were capitalized under the previous leasing standard, as incurred.  ASU 2016-02 also requires that only the incremental costs of signing a lease be capitalized, which was consistent to our historical practice.

As Lessee:

We are the lessee with various third parties, including subsidiaries of UHS, in connection with ground leases for land at fourteen of our consolidated properties. Our right-of-use land assets represent our right to use the land for the lease term and our lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recognized upon adoption of Topic 842 based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We utilized our estimated incremental borrowing rate, which was derived from information available as of January 1, 2019, in determining the present value of lease payments. A right-of-use asset and lease liability are not recognized for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, as these short-term leases are accounted for similar to previous guidance for operating leases.  We do not currently have any ground leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. As of December 31, 2021, our consolidated balance sheet includes right-of-use land assets of approximately $11.5 million and ground lease liabilities of approximately $11.5 million.

The components of lease expense payments were as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
Operating lease cost	$	508	$	480
Total lease cost	$	508	$	480

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities related to our operating leases was approximately $508,000 and $480,000, respectively, which is included as an operating cash outflow within the consolidated statement of cash flows and included in other operating expenses within the consolidated statements of income. The operating lease expense of $508,000 for 2021 includes the impact of a ground lease related to a previously unconsolidated LLC that we began consolidating during 2021, as well as the impact of a ground lease on an MOB that was divested during 2021. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2020, we did not enter into any lease agreements for our consolidated properties set to commence in the future and there were no newly leased assets for which a right-of-use asset was recorded in exchange for a new lease liability.

(5) DEBT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Debt:

Management routinely monitors and analyzes the Trust’s capital structure in an effort to maintain the targeted balance among capital resources including the level of borrowings pursuant to our revolving credit facility, the level of borrowings pursuant to non-recourse mortgage debt secured by the real property of our properties and our level of equity including consideration of additional equity issuances pursuant to our ATM equity issuance program.  This ongoing analysis considers factors such as the current debt market and interest rate environment, the current/projected occupancy and financial performance of our properties, the current loan-to-value ratio of our properties, the Trust’s current stock price, the capital resources required for anticipated acquisitions and the expected capital to be generated by anticipated divestitures. This analysis, together with consideration of the Trust’s current balance of revolving credit agreement borrowings, non-recourse mortgage borrowings and equity, assists management in deciding which capital resource to utilize when events such as refinancing of specific debt components occur or additional funds are required to finance the Trust’s growth.

On July 2, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) to amend and restate the previously existing $350 million credit agreement, as amended and dated June 5, 2020 (“Prior Credit Agreement”). Among other things, under the Credit Agreement, our aggregate revolving credit commitment was increased to $375 million from $350 million.  The Credit Agreement, which is scheduled to mature on July 2, 2025, provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $375 million, including a $40 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $30 million sublimit for swingline/short-term loans.  Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we may request that the revolving line of credit be increased by up to an additional $50 million. Borrowings under the new facility are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Trust. In addition, borrowings under the new facility are secured by first priority security interests in and liens on all equity interests in most of the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

80

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest annually at a rate equal to, at our option, at either LIBOR (for one, three, or six months) or the Base Rate, plus in either case, a specified margin depending on our ratio of debt to total capital, as determined by the formula set forth in the Credit Agreement. The applicable margin ranges from 1.10% to 1.35% for LIBOR loans and 0.10% to 0.35% for Base Rate loans. The initial applicable margin is 1.25% for LIBOR loans and 0.25% for Base Rate loans. The Credit Agreement defines “Base Rate” as the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) one month LIBOR plus 1%. The Trust will also pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% (depending on the Trust’s ratio of debt to asset value) of the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit commitments.  The Credit Agreement also provides for options to extend the maturity date and borrowing availability for two additional six-month periods.

The margins over LIBOR, Base Rate and the facility fee are based upon our total leverage ratio.  At December 31, 2021, the applicable margin over the LIBOR rate was 1.25%, the margin over the Base Rate was 0.25% and the facility fee was 0.25%.  

At December 31, 2021, we had $271.9 million of outstanding borrowings and $3.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Agreement.  We had $99.9 million of available borrowing capacity, net of the outstanding borrowings and letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2021.  The carrying amount and fair value of borrowings outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement was $271.9 million at December 31, 2021. There are no compensating balance requirements.  The average amount outstanding under our Credit Agreement during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $253.5 million, $219.1 million and $198.3 million, respectively, with corresponding effective interest rates of 2.2%, 2.4% and 3.7%, respectively, including commitment fees and interest rate swaps/caps. At December 31, 2020, we had $236.2 million of outstanding borrowings outstanding against our revolving credit agreement that was in effect at that time, $5.6 million of letters of credit outstanding against the agreement and $108.2 million of available borrowing capacity.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on certain indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and other investments, fundamental changes, asset dispositions and dividends and other distributions. The Credit Agreement also contains restrictive covenants regarding the Trust’s ratio of total debt to total assets, the fixed charge coverage ratio, the ratio of total secured debt to total asset value, the ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value, and minimum tangible net worth, as well as customary events of default, the occurrence of which may trigger an acceleration of amounts then outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We are in compliance with all of the covenants in the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2021 and were in compliance with all of the covenants in the Prior Credit Agreement at December 31, 2020. We also believe that we would remain in compliance if, based on the assumption that the majority of the potential new borrowings will be used to fund investments, the full amount of our commitment was borrowed.

The following table includes a summary of the required compliance ratios at December 31, 2021 and 2020, giving effect to the covenants contained in the Credit Agreements in effect on the respective dates (dollar amounts in thousands):

			December 31, 2021									December 31, 2020

(c.) All mortgage loans require monthly principal payments through maturity and either fully amortize or include a balloon principal payment upon maturity.    

(d.) This loan is scheduled to mature within the next twelve months, at which time we will decide whether to refinance pursuant to a new mortgage loan or by utilizing borrowings under our Credit Agreement.  

The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. The mortgages outstanding as of December 31, 2021 had a combined carrying value of approximately $57.2 million and a combined fair value of approximately $59.4 million. At December 31, 2020, we had various mortgages, all of which were non-recourse to us, included in our consolidated balance sheet.  The combined outstanding balance of these various mortgages was $59.2 million and these mortgages had a combined fair value of approximately $62.0 million.

The fair value of our debt was computed based upon quotes received from financial institutions.  We consider these to be “level 2” in the fair value hierarchy as outlined in the authoritative guidance for disclosure in connection with debt instruments.  Changes in market rates on our fixed rate debt impacts the fair value of debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow.

As of December 31, 2021, our aggregate consolidated scheduled debt repayments (including mortgages) are as follows (amounts in thousands):

2022	$	12,197
2023		11,892
2024		13,550
2025 (a.)		272,839
2026		601
Later		17,973
Total	$	329,052

(a.) Includes assumed repayment of $271.9 million of outstanding borrowings under the terms of our $375 million revolving credit agreement scheduled to mature in July, 2025.

Financial Instruments:

In March 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $55 million with a fixed interest rate of 0.565% that we designated as a cash flow hedge.  The interest rate swap became effective on March 25, 2020 and is scheduled to mature on March 25, 2027. If the one-month LIBOR is above 0.565%, the counterparty pays us, and if the one-month LIBOR is less than 0.565%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 0.565% and one-month LIBOR.

82

In January 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $35 million with a fixed interest rate of 1.4975% that we designated as a cash flow hedge.  The interest rate swap became effective on January 15, 2020 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024. If the one-month LIBOR is above 1.4975%, the counterparty pays us, and if the one-month LIBOR is less than 1.4975%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 1.4975% and one-month LIBOR.  

During the third quarter of 2019, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $50 million with a fixed interest rate of a 1.144%. that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on September 16, 2019 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024. If the one-month LIBOR is above 1.144%, the counterparty pays us, and if the one-month LIBOR is less than 1.144%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 1.144% and one-month LIBOR.

We measure our interest rate swaps at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is based on quotes from third parties.  We consider those inputs to be “level 2” in the fair value hierarchy as outlined in the authoritative guidance for disclosures in connection with derivative instruments and hedging activities. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was a net asset of $1.1 million which is included in deferred charges and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During the twelve months of 2021, we paid or accrued approximately $1.3 million in net payments made to the counterparty by us, adjusted for accruals, pursuant to the terms of the swaps. From inception of the swap agreements through December 31, 2021 we paid or accrued approximately $1.9 million in net payments made to the counterparty by us pursuant to the terms of the swap (consisting of approximately $198,000 in payments or accruals made to us by the counterparty, offset by approximately $2.1 million of payments due to the counterparty from us).  During the twelve months of 2020, we paid or accrued approximately $733,000 in net payments made to the counterparty by us, adjusted for accruals, pursuant to the terms of the swaps (consisting of approximately $824,000 in payments, adjusted for accruals, or accruals made to the counterparty by us, offset by approximately $91,000 of payments paid to us by the counterparty). Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) within shareholders’ equity.  Amounts are classified from AOCI to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged transaction affects earnings.                

During the second quarter of 2016, we entered into an interest rate cap on the total notional amount of $30 million whereby we paid a premium of $115,000.  This interest rate cap became effective in January, 2017 and expired in March 2019. In exchange for the premium payment, the counterparties agreed to pay us the difference between 1.50% and one-month LIBOR if one-month LIBOR rises above 1.50% during the term of the cap. From inception through the March, 2019 expiration, we received approximately $205,000 in payments made to us by the counterparties ($61,000 of which was received during the first three months of 2019 and $144,000 of which was received during 2018) pursuant to the terms of this cap.

During the third quarter of 2016, we entered into an additional interest rate cap agreement on a total notional amount of $30 million whereby we paid a premium of $55,000. This interest rate cap became effective in October, 2016 and expired in March, 2019. In exchange for the premium payment, the counterparties agreed to pay us the difference between 1.5% and one-month LIBOR if one-month LIBOR rises above 1.5% during the term of the cap. From inception through the March, 2019 expiration, we received approximately $205,000 in payments made to us by the counterparties ($61,000 of which was received during the first three months of 2019 and $144,000 of which was received during 2018) pursuant to the terms of this cap.

(6) DIVIDENDS AND EQUITY ISSUANCE PROGRAM

Dividends:

During each of the last three years, dividends were declared and paid by us as follows:

• 2021:   $2.80 per share of which $2.51 per share was ordinary income, $.16 per share was non-dividend distributions and $.13 per share was total capital gain (total capital gain amount includes Unrecaptured Section 1250 gain of $.04 per share).

• 2020:   $2.76 per share of which $2.43 per share was ordinary income and $.33 per share was non-dividend distributions (there was no capital gain and no Unrecaptured Section 1250 gain in 2020).

• 2019:    $2.72 per share of which $2.48 per share was ordinary income and $.24 per share was total capital gain (there was no Unrecaptured Section 1250 gain in 2019).

 Equity Issuance Program:

 During the second quarter of 2020, we commenced an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity issuance program, pursuant to the terms of which we may sell, from time-to-time, common shares of our beneficial interest up to an aggregate sales price of $100 million to or through our agent banks. The common shares will be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which became effective in June 2020.

83

No shares were issued pursuant to this ATM equity program during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. Since inception, pursuant to this ATM equity program, we have issued 2,704 shares at an average price of $101.30 per share, which generated approximately $270,000 of net proceeds (net of compensation to BofA Securities, Inc. of approximately $4,000). Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, we have paid or incurred approximately $508,000 in various fees and expenses related to the commencement of our ATM program.

(7) INCENTIVE PLANS

During 2007, our Board of Trustees and shareholders approved the Universal Health Realty Income Trust 2007 Restricted Stock Plan which was amended and restated in 2020 and 2016 (the “2007 Plan”). An aggregate of 175,000 shares (as amended in 2020) were authorized for issuance under this plan and a total of 127,805 shares, net of cancellations, have been issued pursuant to the terms of this plan, 106,275 of which have vested as of December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2021 there are 47,195 shares remaining for issuance under the terms of the 2007 Plan.

During 2021, there were 10,765 restricted Shares of Beneficial Interest, net of cancellations, issued to the Trustees, officers and other personnel of the Trust pursuant to the 2007 Plan at a weighted average grant price of $71.69 per share (approximately $772,000 in the aggregate).  These restricted shares are scheduled to vest in June of 2023 (the second anniversary date of the grant).  Pursuant to the restricted shares issued during 2021, dividends on unvested stock will be deferred and accumulated prior to the vesting of the shares and paid, in either cash and/or stock, in the aggregate on the vesting date on the shares that ultimately vest.

During 2020, there were 10,765 restricted Shares of Beneficial Interest, net of cancellations, issued to the Trustees, officers and other personnel of the Trust pursuant to the 2007 Plan at a weighted average grant price of $96.74 per share ($1.0 million in the aggregate).  These restricted shares are scheduled to vest in June of 2022 (the second anniversary date of the grant).  Pursuant to the restricted shares issued during 2020, dividends on unvested stock will be deferred and accumulated prior to the vesting of the shares and paid, in either cash and/or stock, in the aggregate on the vesting date on the shares that ultimately vest.

During 2019, there were 10,980 restricted Shares of Beneficial Interest, net of cancellations, issued to the Trustees, officers and other personnel of the Trust pursuant to the 2007 Plan at a weighted average grant price of $84.24 per share ($924,955 in the aggregate). These restricted shares vested in June of 2021 (the second anniversary of the date of grant).

 We expense the grant-date fair value restricted stock awards under the straight-line method over the stated vesting period of the award. In connection with these grants, we recorded compensation expense of approximately $947,000, $912,000 and $702,000 during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The remaining expense associated with these grants is approximately $769,000 and will be recorded over the remaining weighted average vesting period for outstanding restricted Shares of Beneficial Interest of approximately one year at December 31, 2021.     

There were no stock options outstanding or exercised during 2021, 2020 or 2019.

(8) SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF EQUITY AFFILIATES

In accordance with U. S. GAAP and guidance relating to accounting for investments and real estate ventures, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs/LPs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting.  The third-party members in these investments have equal voting rights with regards to issues such as, but not limited to: (i) divestiture of property; (ii) annual budget approval, and; (iii) financing commitments. These investments, which represent 33% to 95% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to, and distributions from, the investments. Pursuant to certain agreements, allocations of sales proceeds and profits and losses of some of the LLC investments may be allocated disproportionately as compared to ownership interests after specified preferred return rate thresholds have been satisfied.

Distributions received from equity method investees in the consolidated statements of cash flows are classified based on the nature of the distribution. Returns on investments are presented net of equity in income from unconsolidated investments as cash flows from operating activities.  Returns of investment are classified as cash flows from investing activities.

At December 31, 2021, we have non-controlling equity investments or commitments in four jointly-owned LLCs/LPs which own MOBs. As of December 31, 2021, we accounted for these LLCs/LPs on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since they are not variable interest entities which we are the primary beneficiary nor do we have a controlling voting interest. The majority of these entities are joint-ventures between us and non-related parties that hold minority ownership interests in the entities. Each entity is generally self-sustained from a cash flow perspective and generates sufficient cash flow to meet its operating cash flow requirements and service the third-party debt (if applicable) that is non-recourse to us. Although there is typically no ongoing financial support required from us to these entities since they are cash-flow sufficient, we may, from time to time, provide funding for certain purposes such as, but not limited to, significant capital expenditures, leasehold improvements and debt financing. Although we are not

84

obligated to do so, if approved by us at our sole discretion, additional cash funding is typically advanced as equity or member loans. These entities maintain property insurance on the properties.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we purchased the 5% minority ownership interest, held by the third-party member in Grayson Properties LP which owns the Texoma Medical Plaza, in which we previously held a noncontrolling majority ownership interest.  As a result of this minority ownership purchase, we now own 100% of the LP and began to account for it on a consolidated basis effective November 1, 2021.  Prior to November 1, 2021, the LP was accounted for on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method.

The following property table represents the four LLCs or LPs in which we own a non-controlling interest and were accounted for under the equity method as of December 31, 2021:

This LLP entered into a $13.1 million third-party construction loan, which is non-recourse to us and has an outstanding balance of $13.1 million as of December 31, 2021.  The LP developed constructed, owns and operates the Texoma Medical Plaza II.

86

Pursuant to the operating and/or partnership agreements of the four LLCs/LPs in which we continue to hold non-controlling ownership interests, the third-party member and the Trust, at any time, potentially subject to certain conditions, have the right to make an offer (“Offering Member”) to the other member(s) (“Non-Offering Member”) in which it either agrees to: (i) sell the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member to the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Sell”) at a price as determined by the Offering Member (“Transfer Price”), or; (ii) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Purchase”) at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The Non-Offering Member has 60 to 90 days to either: (i) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member at the Transfer Price, or; (ii) sell its entire ownership interest to the Offering Member at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The closing of the transfer must occur within 60 to 90 days of the acceptance by the Non-Offering Member.

(9) SEGMENT REPORTING

Our primary business is investing in and leasing healthcare and human service facilities through direct ownership or through joint ventures, which aggregate into a single reportable segment. We actively manage our portfolio of healthcare and human service facilities and may from time to time make decisions to sell lower performing properties not meeting our long-term investment objectives. The proceeds of sales are typically reinvested in new developments or acquisitions, which we believe will meet our planned rate of return. It is our intent that all healthcare and human service facilities will be owned or developed for investment purposes. Our revenue and net income are generated from the operation of our investment portfolio.

Our portfolio is located throughout the United States, however, we do not distinguish or group our operations on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or measuring performance. We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore, we define an operating segment as our individual properties. Individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature and economics of the facilities, tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term average financial performance.  No individual property meets the requirements necessary to be considered its own reportable segment.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations      

Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries (the “Trust”) is organized as a Maryland real estate investment trust. We invest in healthcare and human-service related facilities currently including acute care hospitals, behavioral health care hospitals, specialty facilities, free-standing emergency departments, childcare centers and medical/office buildings. As of February 24, 2022, we have seventy-five real estate investments located in twenty-one states consisting of:

• six hospital facilities consisting of three acute care hospitals and three behavioral health care hospitals;

• four free-standing emergency departments (“FEDs”);

• fifty-eight medical/office buildings (“MOBs”), including one under construction and including four owned by unconsolidated limited liability companies (“LLCs”)/limited liability partnerships (“LPs”);

• four preschool and childcare centers, and;

• three specialty facilities that are currently vacant.

We are subject to risks associated with public health threats and epidemics, including the health concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and the federal government declared COVID-19 a national emergency. As a result of various policies implemented by the federal and state governments, and varying by individual state, many non-essential businesses in the nation were closed for varying time periods.  

The COVID-19 vaccination process commenced during the first quarter of 2021. Since that time through the second quarter of 2021, the operators of our acute care hospitals had generally experienced a decline in COVID-19 patients as well as a corresponding recovery in non-COVID patient activity.  However, during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, and continuing into the first quarter of 2022, the operators of our acute care hospitals and certain other facilities generally experienced an increase in COVID-19 patients resulting from the Delta and, more recently, the highly transmissible Omicron variants. Booster doses for COVID-19 vaccinations began during the third quarter of 2021, and while we expect the administration of vaccines booster doses will assist in easing the number of COVID-19 patients, the pace at which this is likely to occur is very difficult to predict.

Although COVID-19 has not had a material adverse impact on our results of operations through December 31, 2021, we believe that the potentially adverse impact that the pandemic may have on the future operations and financial results of our tenants, and in turn ours, will depend upon many factors, most of which are beyond our, or our tenants’, ability to control or predict.  Such factors include, but are not limited to, the length of time and severity of the spread of the pandemic; the volume of cancelled or rescheduled elective procedures and the volume of COVID-19 patients treated by the operators of our hospitals and other healthcare facilities; measures our tenants are taking to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic; the impact of government and administrative regulation, including travel bans and restrictions, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders, quarantines, the promotion of social distancing, business shutdowns and limitations on business activity; changes in patient volumes at our tenants’ hospitals and other healthcare facilities due to patients’ general concerns related to the risk of contracting COVID-19 from interacting with the healthcare system; the impact of stimulus on the health care industry and our tenants; changes in patient volumes and payer mix caused by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions (including increases in uninsured and underinsured patients as the result of business closings and layoffs); potential disruptions to clinical staffing and shortages and disruptions related to supplies required for our tenants’ employees and patients, including equipment, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, particularly personal protective equipment, or PPE; potential increases to expenses incurred by our tenants related to staffing, supply chain or other expenditures; the impact of our indebtedness and the ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms; disruptions in the financial markets and the business of financial institutions as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact our ability to access capital or increase associated borrowing costs; and changes in general economic conditions nationally and regionally in the markets our properties are located resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased unemployment and underemployment levels and reduced consumer spending and confidence. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the future business, financial position and results of operations of the operators of our facilities, and in turn, ours.

Bonus rents earned by us on one acute care hospital leased to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc., is computed based upon a computation that compares the hospital’s current quarter revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base

year; we could therefore experience a significant decline in future bonus rental revenue earned on this property should this hospital experience significant declines in patient volumes and revenues.

Certain factors may result in the inability or unwillingness on the part of some of our tenants to make timely payment of their rent to us at current levels or to seek to amend or terminate their leases which, in turn, would have an adverse effect on our occupancy levels and our revenue and cash flow and the value of our properties, and potentially, our ability to maintain our dividend at current levels. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and its impact on the economy, we may experience a decrease in prospective tenants which could unfavorably impact the volume of new leases, as well as the renewal rate of existing leases. The COVID-19 pandemic could also impact our indebtedness and the ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms, as well as risks associated with disruptions in the financial markets and the business of financial institutions as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact us from a financing perspective; and changes in general economic conditions nationally and regionally in the markets our properties are located resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Decreases in cash flows and results of operations may have an impact on the inputs and assumptions used in significant accounting estimates, including potential impairments of intangible and long-lived assets.

Our future results of operations could be unfavorably impacted by government regulations and deterioration in general economic conditions which could result in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or uninsured. Should that occur, it may result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings as well as a reduction in the revenues earned by the operators of our hospital facilities which would unfavorably impact our future bonus rental revenue (on one Universal Health Services, Inc. hospital facility) and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms and the underlying value of the hospital properties.  Management is unable to predict the effect, if any, that these factors may have on the operating results of our lessees or on their ability to meet their obligations under the terms of their leases with us. Management’s estimate of future cash flows from our leased properties could be materially affected in the near term, if certain of the leases are not renewed or renewed with less favorable terms at the end of their lease terms.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate

Purchase accounting is applied to the assets and liabilities related to most real estate investments acquired from third parties. In accordance with current accounting guidance, we account for most of our property acquisitions as acquisitions of assets, which requires the capitalization of acquisition costs to the underlying assets and prohibits the recognition of goodwill or bargain purchase gains. The fair value of most of the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above market rate assumed loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below market assumed loans, are recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.  Please see additional disclosure below regarding “Financing Assets”.

The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property are determined based on comparable land sales for land and replacement costs adjusted for physical and market obsolescence for the improvements. The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property are also determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property based on assumptions that a market participant would use, which is similar to methods used by independent appraisers. In addition, there is intangible value related to having tenants leasing space in the purchased property, which is referred to as in-place lease value. Such value results primarily from the buyer of a leased property avoiding the costs associated with leasing the property and also avoiding rent losses and unreimbursed operating expenses during the hypothetical lease-up period. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) estimated fair market lease rates from the perspective of a market participant for the corresponding in-place leases, measured, for above-market leases, over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases.

At December 31, 2021, our net intangible assets total $10.0 million (net of $14.2 million accumulated amortization) and primarily consist of the value of in-place leases.  At December 31, 2021, our net intangible value of in-place leases total $8.6 million (net of $13.2 million of accumulated amortization) and will be amortized over the remaining lease terms (aggregate weighted average of 4.0 years at December 31, 2021) and are expected to result in estimated aggregate amortization expense of, $1.9 million, $1.6 million, $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $2.8  million for 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 and thereafter, respectively. Amortization expense on intangible values of in place leases was $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The remaining amount of our net intangible assets primarily consists of above-market leases. At December 31, 2021, our net intangible value of above-market leases total $1.1 million (net of $982,000 of accumulated amortization) and will be amortized over the remaining lease terms (aggregate weighted average of approximately 5.6 years at December 31, 2021) and are expected to result in estimated aggregate amortization offset to rental revenue of approximately $199,000 in 2022, $196,000 in 2023, $168,000 in 2024, $168,000 in 2025 and $402,000 in 2026 and thereafter. Amortization offset to rental revenue on intangible values of above-market leases was $205,000, $202,000 and $189,000  for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and capital improvements. The estimated original useful lives of our buildings range from 25-45 years and the estimated original useful lives of capital improvements ranges from 3-35 years. On a consolidated basis, depreciation expense was $23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $21.8 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Financing Assets

As discussed in Note 2 – Relationship with UHS and Related Party Transactions, on December 31, 2021 we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates. Pursuant to the agreement, UHS purchased from us the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System (“Inland Valley”) and transferred to us the real estate assets of Aiken Regional Medical Center (“Aiken”) and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”). In connection with this transaction, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases (with us as lessor) for initial lease terms of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. As a result of UHS’ purchase option within the lease agreements of Aiken and Canyon Creek, the transaction is accounted for as a failed sale leaseback in accordance with U.S. GAAP and we have accounted for the transaction with UHS as a financing arrangement. A portion of the monthly lease payment to us from UHS will be recorded to interest income based upon an imputed interest rate and the remainder will reduce the outstanding financing receivable. In connection with this transaction, our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 reflects a financing receivable of $82.4 million, which is the aggregate fair value of the real estate assets that we received as part of the transaction (Aiken and Canyon Creek).  As of December 31, 2021 there are no indicators of impairment and the financing receivable will be assessed for recoverability in accordance with our asset impairment policy.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Asset Impairment  

We review each of our properties for indicators that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Examples of such indicators may include a significant decrease in the market price of the property, a change in the expected holding period for the property, a significant adverse change in how the property is being used or expected to be used based on the underwriting at the time of acquisition, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of the property, or a history of operating or cash flow losses of the property. When such impairment indicators exist, we review an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition and compare that estimate to the carrying value of the property. We consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If our future undiscounted net cash flow evaluation indicates that we are unable to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Since cash flows on properties considered to be long-lived assets to be held and used are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether the carrying value of a property is recoverable, our strategy of holding properties over the long-term directly decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable and therefore requiring the recording of an impairment loss. If our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material. If we determine that the asset fails the recoverability test, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value.

We generally estimate the fair value of rental properties utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that includes projections of future revenues, expenses and capital improvement costs that a market participant would use based on the highest and best use of the asset, which is similar to the income approach that is commonly utilized by appraisers. In certain cases, we may supplement this analysis by obtaining outside broker opinions of value or third -party appraisals.

In considering whether to classify a property as held for sale, we consider factors such as whether management has committed to a plan to sell the property, the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition for a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value, the sale of the property is probable, and actions required for management to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will made to the plan.  If all the criteria are met, we classify the property as held for sale.  Upon being classified as held for sale, depreciation and amortization related to the property ceases and it is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The assets and related liabilities of the property are classified separately on the consolidated balance sheets for the most recent reporting period. Only those assets held for sale that constitute a strategic shift or that will have a major effect on our operations are classified as discontinued operations. 

Investments in Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”)

In accordance with U.S. GAAP and guidance relating to accounting for investments and real estate ventures, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs/LPs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting.  The third-party members in these investments have equal voting rights with regards to issues such as, but not limited to: (i) divestiture of property; (ii) annual budget approval, and; (iii) financing commitments. These investments, which represent 33% to 95% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to, and distributions from, the investments. Pursuant to certain agreements, allocations of sales proceeds and profits and losses of some of the LLC investments may be allocated disproportionately as compared to ownership interests after specified preferred return rate thresholds have been satisfied.

Distributions received from equity method investees in the consolidated statements of cash flows are classified based upon the nature of the distribution.  Returns on investments are presented net of equity in income from unconsolidated investments as cash flows from operating activities.  Returns of investments are classified as cash flows from investing activities.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we purchased the third-party 5% ownership interest in Grayson Properties, LP which owns the Texoma Medical Plaza, an MOB located in Denison, Texas, for a purchase price of approximately $3.1 million.  We formerly held a non-controlling majority ownership interest in this LP.  As a result of our purchase of the minority ownership interest, we now hold 100% of the ownership interest in this LP and we began accounting for this LP on a consolidated basis effective with the minority ownership interest purchase date. The property’s assets and liabilities are recorded at the carrying amount of its previously held interest, plus the incremental cost which was allocated based upon relative fair values.  A third-party appraisal was completed to determine the fair value of the property.  We do not expect a material impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of this LP subsequent to the transaction.  

At December 31, 2021, we have non-controlling equity investments or commitments in four jointly-owned LLCs/LPs which own MOBs.  We account for these LLCs/LPs on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since they are not variable interest entities which we are the primary beneficiary nor do we have a controlling voting interest. The majority of these entities are joint-ventures between us and non-related parties that hold minority ownership interests in the entities. Each entity is generally self-sustained from a cash flow perspective and generates sufficient cash flow to meet its operating cash flow requirements and service the third-party debt (if applicable) that is non-recourse to us. Although there is typically no ongoing financial support required from us to these entities since they are cash-flow sufficient, we may, from time to time, provide funding for certain purposes such as, but not limited to, significant capital expenditures, leasehold improvements and debt financing. Although we are not obligated to do so, if approved by us at our sole discretion, additional cash funding is typically advanced as equity or member loans. These entities maintain property insurance on the properties.  

An other-than-temporary impairment of an investment in an unconsolidated LLC is recognized when the carrying value of the investment is not considered recoverable based on evaluation of the severity and duration of the decline in value, including projected declines in cash flow. To the extent impairment has occurred, the excess carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

Federal Income Taxes

No provision has been made for federal income tax purposes since we qualify as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and intend to continue to remain so qualified. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable

income to shareholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal, state or local income tax on income that we distribute as dividends to our shareholders.

We are subject to a federal excise tax computed on a calendar year basis. The excise tax equals 4% of the amount by which 85% of our ordinary income plus 95% of any capital gain income for the calendar year exceeds cash distributions during the calendar year, as defined. No provision for excise tax has been reflected in the financial statements as no tax was due.

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal tax purposes in the cost basis of assets and in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and the recording of provision for impairment losses.

The aggregate gross cost basis and net book value of the properties for federal income tax purposes are approximately $672 million (unaudited) and $417 million (unaudited), respectively, at December 31, 2021.  The aggregate cost basis and net book value of the properties for federal income tax purposes were approximately $645 million (unaudited) and $406 million (unaudited), respectively, at December 31, 2020.

Stock-Based Compensation

We expense the grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards over the vesting period. We recognize the grant-date fair value of equity-based compensation and account for these transactions using the fair-value based method.

The expense associated with share-based compensation arrangements is a non-cash charge. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, stock-based compensation expense is an adjustment to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities.

Fair Value

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and determined based upon the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, accounting requirements establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Level 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). In instances when it is necessary to establish the fair value of our real estate investments and investments in LLCs we use unobservable inputs which are typically based on our own assumptions.

The fair value of our real estate investments, components of real estate investments and debt assumed in conjunction with acquisition and impairment activity, are considered to be Level 3 valuations as they are primarily based upon an income capitalization approach. Significant inputs into the models used to determine fair value of real estate investments and components of real estate investments include future cash flow projections, holding period, terminal capitalization rate and discount rates. Additionally, the fair value of land takes into consideration comparable sales, as adjusted for site specific factors. The fair value of real estate investments is based upon significant judgments made by management, and accordingly, we typically obtain assistance from third party valuation specialists. Significant inputs into the models used to determine the fair value of assumed mortgages included the outstanding balance, term, stated interest rate and current market rate of the mortgage.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Accordingly, these items are excluded from the fair value disclosures included elsewhere in these notes to the consolidated financial statements. 

Concentration of Revenues

The rental revenue earned pursuant to the lease on McAllen Medical Center, which is leased to a related party (see Note 2), generated approximately 10% during 2021, approximately 10% during 2020 and approximately 10% during 2019, of our consolidated revenues.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Standards  

Except as noted below there were no new accounting pronouncements that impacted or are expected to impact us.  

Accounting for Lease Concessions Granted in Connection with COVID-19

On April 8, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") held a public meeting and shortly afterwards issued a question-and-answer ("Q&A") document which was intended to provide accounting relief for lease concessions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The accounting relief permits an entity to choose to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of a lease contract, which is a requirement of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases, which we adopted on January 1, 2019, as long as the total rent payments after the lease concessions are substantially the same, or less than, the total payments previously required by the lease. An entity may account for COVID-19 related lease concessions either (i) as if they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract; or (ii) as a lease modification. To the extent that a rent concession is granted as a deferral of payments, but the total lease payments are substantially the same, lessors are allowed to account for the concession as if no change had been made to the original lease contract.

Based on the Q&A, an entity is not required to account for all lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic under one elected option, however, the entity is required to apply the elected option consistently to leases with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances. The COVID-19 pandemic did not start to adversely impact the economic conditions in the United States until late March 2020 and did not have a material effect on our operations or financial results during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 848, “Reference Rate Reform.” The amendments in this update contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASC 848 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. We will evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Relationship with UHS and Related Party Transactions

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]

Relationship with UHS and Related Party Transactions

(2) RELATIONSHIP WITH UHS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS  

Leases:    We commenced operations in 1986 by purchasing certain properties from subsidiaries of UHS and immediately leasing the properties back to the respective subsidiaries. The base rentals and lease and renewal terms for each of the hospitals leased to subsidiaries of UHS as of January 1, 2022 are provided below. The base rents are paid monthly. The lease on McAllen Medical Center also provides for bonus rent which is paid quarterly based upon a computation that compares the hospital’s current quarter revenue to a corresponding quarter in the base year. The hospital leases with subsidiaries of UHS, with the exception of the lease on Clive Behavioral Health Hospital (which is operated by UHS in a joint venture with an unrelated third party), are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another.

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the three acute care and one behavioral health care hospital facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS at December 31, 2021, (McAllen Medical Center, Wellington Regional Medical Center, Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare and Clive Behavioral Health), before giving effect to the December 31, 2021 asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates as discussed below, accounted for approximately 23% of our consolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2021 (approximately 25%, 22% and 22% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively). In addition to these four UHS hospital facilities, we have twenty properties consisting of MOBs (including one under construction) and FEDs that are either wholly or jointly-owned by us that include, or will include, tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS.  The aggregate revenues generated from UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 32% of our consolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2021 (approximately 37%, 33% and 31% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively).

On December 31, 2021, we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates pursuant to the terms of which:

• a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased from us, the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System located in Wildomar, California, at its fair market value of $79.6 million.

• two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS transferred to us, the real estate assets of the following properties:

o Aiken Regional Medical Center (“Aiken”), located in Aiken, South Carolina (which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion), at its fair-market value of approximately $57.7 million, and;

o Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”), located in Temple, Texas, at its fair-market value of approximately $24.7 million.

• in connection with this transaction, since the fair-market value of Aiken and Canyon Creek, which totaled approximately $82.4 million in the aggregate, exceeded the $79.6 million fair-market value of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System, we paid approximately $2.8 million in cash to UHS.  This transaction generated a gain of approximately $68.4 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021.

We have accounted for the asset sale and purchase agreement with UHS as a financing arrangement and our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 reflects a financing receivable for the $82.4 million fair market value of the real estate assets that we received as part of the transaction. Additionally, we structured the purchase and sale of the above-mentioned properties as a like-kind exchange of property under the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Also on December 31, 2021, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases (with us as lessor), for initial lease terms on each property of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. Subject to the terms of the master lease, Aiken and Canyon Creek have the right to renew their leases, at the then current fair market rent (as defined in the master lease), for seven, five-year optional renewal terms. The aggregate annual rental during 2022 pursuant to the leases for these two facilities, which is payable to us on a monthly basis, amounts to approximately $5.6 million (consisting of $3.9 million related to Aiken and $1.7 million related to Canyon Creek). There is no bonus rental component applicable to either of these leases. Beginning on January 1, 2023, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2033, the annual rental will increase by 2.25% on a cumulative and compounded basis. Pursuant to the terms of the lease on the Inland Valley Campus, we earned $4.5 million of lease revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.9 million in bonus rental) and $4.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.8 million in bonus rental).

Pursuant to the terms of the master leases by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 and December 31, 2021 (the “Master Leases”), which govern the leases of McAllen Medical Center, Wellington Regional Medical Center (governed by the Master Lease dated December 24, 1986), Aiken Regional Medical Center and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (governed by the Master Lease dated December 31, 2021), all of which are hospital properties that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the option, among other things, to renew the leases at the lease terms described below by providing notice to us at least 90 days prior to the termination of the then current term. UHS also has the right to purchase the respective leased facilities from us at their appraised fair market value upon any of the following: (i) at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms; (ii) upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, or; (iii) within the time period as specified in the leases in the event that UHS provides notice to us of their intent to offer a substitution property/properties in exchange for one (or more) of the four wholly-owned UHS hospital facilities leased from us, should we be unable to reach an agreement with UHS on the properties to be substituted. Additionally, UHS has rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for 180 days after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for 180 days after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer.   

A wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS is the managing, majority member in a joint-venture with an unrelated third-party that operates, and leases from us, Clive Behavioral Health.  This 100-bed behavioral health care facility is located in Clive, Iowa and was completed and opened in late December, 2020 and the hospital lease commenced on December 31, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, we earned $2.5 million of lease revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021. The lease on this facility is triple net and has an initial term of 20 years with five 10-year renewal options. Beginning on January 1, 2022, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2040 (and potentially through 2070 if the first three of five, 10-year renewal options are exercised), the annual rental will increase by 2.75% on a cumulative and compounded basis. The first three of the five 10-year renewal options will provide for annual rental as stipulated in the lease (2041 through 2070) and the two additional 10-year lease renewal options will be at fair market value lease rates (2071 through 2090). Pursuant to the lease on this facility, the joint venture has the option to, among other things, renew the lease at the terms specified in the lease agreement by providing notice to us at least 270 days prior to the termination of the then current term. The joint venture also has the right to purchase the leased facility from us at its appraised fair market value upon either of the following: (i) by providing notice at least 270 days prior to the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms, or; (ii) upon 30 days’ notice anytime within 12 months of a change of control of the Trust (UHS also has this right should the joint venture decline to exercise its purchase right). Additionally, the joint venture has rights of first offer to purchase the facility prior to any third-party sale.

The table below details the existing lease terms and renewal options for each of the hospital leases that are related to UHS as of January 1, 2022, consisting of three acute care hospitals and three behavioral health hospitals:

Hospital Name	Annual Minimum Rent		End of Lease Term	Renewal Term (years)
McAllen Medical Center	$	5,485,000	December, 2026	5 (a)
Wellington Regional Medical Center	$	6,319,000	December, 2026	5 (b)
Aiken Regional Medical Center/Aurora Pavilion Behavioral Health Services	$	3,895,000	December, 2033	35 (c)
Canyon Creek Behavioral Health	$	1,670,000	December, 2033	35 (c)
Clive Behavioral Health Hospital	$	2,628,000	December, 2040	50 (d)

(a) UHS has one 5-year renewal option at existing lease rates (through 2031).

(b) UHS has one 5-year renewal option at fair market value lease rates (through 2031; see additional disclosure below).

(c) UHS has seven 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2034 through 2068).

(d) The UHS-related joint venture has five 10-year renewal options; the first three of the five 10-year renewal options will be at computed lease rates as stipulated in the lease (2041 through 2070) and the last two 10-year renewal options will be at fair market lease rates (2071 through 2090).

Upon the December 31, 2021 expiration of the lease on Wellington Regional Medical Center located in West Palm Beach, Florida, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS exercised its fair market value renewal option and renewed the lease for a 5-year term scheduled to expire on December 31, 2026.  Effective January 1, 2022, the annual fair market value lease rate for this hospital, which is payable to us monthly, is $6.3 million (there is no longer a bonus rental component of the lease payment). Beginning on January 1, 2023, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2026, the annual rent will increase by 2.50% on a cumulative and compounded basis.  Pursuant to the hospital’s previous lease, we earned aggregate lease revenue of $5.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, ($3.0 million of base rental and $2.5 million of bonus rental) and $5.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 ($3.0 million of base rental and $2.1 million of bonus rental).  

Management cannot predict whether the leases with wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, which have renewal options at existing lease rates or fair market value lease rates, or any of our other leases, will be renewed at the end of their lease term. If the leases are not renewed at their current rates or the fair market value lease rates, we would be required to find other operators for those facilities and/or enter into leases on terms potentially less favorable to us than the current leases. In addition, if subsidiaries of UHS exercise their options to purchase the respective leased hospital or FED facilities upon expiration of the lease terms, our future revenues could decrease if we were unable to earn a favorable rate of return on the sale proceeds received, as compared to the rental revenue currently earned pursuant to these leases.  

In January, 2022, we entered into a ground lease and master flex-lease agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS with the intent to develop, construct and own the real property of Sierra Medical Plaza I, an MOB located in Reno, Nevada, consisting of approximately 86,000 rentable square feet. This MOB will be located on the campus of the Northern Nevada Sierra Medical Center, a newly constructed hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which is scheduled to be completed and opened during the first quarter of 2022. Construction of this MOB, for which we have engaged a non-related third party to act as construction manager, commenced in January, 2022. The cost of the MOB is estimated to be approximately $34 million. The master flex lease agreement, which is subject to reduction based upon the execution of third-party leases, is for approximately 68% of the rentable square feet of the MOB.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we purchased the 5% minority ownership interest held by a third-party member in Grayson Properties, LP which owns the Texoma Medical Plaza, an MOB located in Denison, Texas for approximately $3.1 million. The MOB is located on the campus of Texoma Medical Center, a hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. A third-party appraisal was completed to determine the fair value of the property.  As a result of this minority ownership purchase during the fourth quarter of 2021, we own 100% of the LP and are therefore consolidating this LP effective with the purchase date.  We do not expect a material impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of this LP subsequent to the transaction.  Please see Note 5 for additional disclosure surrounding this transaction.

In May, 2021, we acquired the Fire Mesa office building located in Las Vegas, Nevada for a purchase price of approximately $12.9 million.  The building is 100% leased under the terms of a triple net lease by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.  The initial lease is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2027 and has two five-year renewal options.  As discussed in Note 4, the acquisition of this office building is part of a series of planned tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

In September 2019, we entered into an agreement whereby we own a 95% non-controlling ownership interest in Grayson Properties II L.P., which developed, constructed, owns and operates the Texoma Medical Plaza II, an MOB located in Denison, Texas.  This MOB, which was substantially completed in December 2020, is located on the campus of Texoma Medical Center, a hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.  A 10-year master flex lease was executed with the wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS for over 50% of the rentable square feet of the MOB and commenced in December 2020 upon the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. We account for this LP on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since it is not a variable interest entity and we do not have a controlling voting interest.    

We are the lessee on twelve ground leases with subsidiaries of UHS (for consolidated and unconsolidated investments).  The remaining lease terms on the ground leases with subsidiaries of UHS range from approximately 28 years to approximately 77 years.  The annual aggregate lease payments on these properties are approximately $508,000 for the year ended 2021 and $508,000 for each of the years ended 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and an aggregate of $29.0 million thereafter. See Note 4 for further disclosure around our lease accounting.

Officers and Employees:    Our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and although as of December 31, 2021 we had no salaried employees, our officers do typically receive annual stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units. In special circumstances, if warranted and deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, our officers may also receive one-time compensation awards in the form of restricted stock and/or cash bonuses.

Advisory Agreement:    UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to us under an advisory agreement dated December 24, 1986, and as amended and restated as of January 1, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. All transactions between us and UHS must be approved by the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS (the “Independent Trustees”). In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees, that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement was renewed for 2022 with the same terms as the Advisory Agreement in place during 2021 and 2020.

Our advisory fee for 2021, 2020 and 2019 was computed at 0.70% of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheet.  Based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses, as compared to an industry peer group, the advisory fee computation remained unchanged for 2021, as compared to the last three years. The average real estate assets for advisory fee calculation purposes exclude certain items from our consolidated balance sheet such as, among other things, accumulated depreciation, cash and cash equivalents, lease receivables, deferred charges and other assets. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year-end based upon our audited financial statements. Advisory fees incurred and paid (or payable) to UHS amounted to $4.4 million during 2021, $4.1 million during 2020 and $4.0 million during 2019 and were based upon average invested real estate assets of $629 million, $592 million and $568 million during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Share Ownership:    As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, UHS owned 5.7% of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest.

SEC reporting requirements of UHS:    UHS is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is required to file annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. Since the aggregate revenues generated from UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 32% of our consolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2021 (approximately 37%, 33% and 31% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively), and since a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor, you are encouraged to obtain the publicly available filings for Universal Health Services, Inc. from the SEC’s website. These filings are the sole responsibility of UHS and are not incorporated by reference herein.

Purchase and Sale Transaction, Acquisitions, Divestitures and New Construction

(3) PURCHASE AND SALE TRANSACTION, ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND NEW CONSTRUCTION

During 2021, we completed various transactions as described and noted below utilizing qualified third-party intermediaries, as part of a series of anticipated tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.  

Subsequent to 2021:

In January, 2022, as part of the series of like-kind exchange transactions mentioned above, we acquired the 140 Thomas Johnson Drive medical office building, located in Frederick, Maryland for a purchase price of approximately $8.0 million. The building is 100% leased to three tenants under the terms of triple-net leases.  Approximately 72% of the rentable square feet of this MOB is leased pursuant to a 15-year lease, with a remaining lease term of approximately 14 years at the time of purchase, with three, five-year renewal options.  

2021:

Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with UHS:

As previously disclosed on Form 8-K, as filed on January 4, 2022, on December 31, 2021, we entered into an asset purchase

and sale agreement, with UHS and certain of its affiliates pursuant to the terms of which:

• a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased from us, the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System located in Wildomar, California, at its fair market value of $79.6 million.

• two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS transferred to us, the real estate assets of the following properties:

o Aiken Regional Medical Center (“Aiken”), located in Aiken, South Carolina (which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion), at its fair-market value of approximately $57.7 million, and;

o Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”), located in Temple, Texas, at its fair-market value of approximately $24.7 million.

• in connection with this transaction, since the fair-market value of Aiken and Canyon Creek, which totaled approximately $82.4 million in the aggregate, exceeded the $79.6 million fair-market value of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System, we paid approximately $2.8 million in cash to UHS. This transaction generated a gain of approximately $68.4 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021.

We have accounted for the asset sale and purchase agreement with UHS as a financing arrangement and our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 reflects a financing receivable for the $82.4 million fair market value of the real estate assets that we received as part of the transaction. Additionally, we structured the purchase and sale of the above-mentioned properties as a like-kind exchange of property under the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Also on December 31, 2021, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases (with us as lessor), for initial lease terms on each property of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. Subject to the terms of the master lease, Aiken and Canyon Creek have the right to renew their leases, at the then current fair market rent (as defined in the master lease), for seven, five-year optional renewal terms. The aggregate annual rental during 2022 pursuant to the leases for these two facilities, which is payable to us on a monthly basis, amounts to approximately $5.6 million (consisting of $3.9 million related to Aiken and $1.7 million related to Canyon Creek). There is no bonus rental component on either of these leases. Beginning on January 1, 2023, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2033, the annual rental will increase by 2.25% on a cumulative and compounded basis.  Pursuant to the lease on the Inland Valley Campus, we earned $4.5 million of lease revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.9 million in bonus rental).

Acquisition:

In May, 2021, as a part of the series of tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions mentioned above, we acquired the Fire Mesa office building located in Las Vegas, Nevada for a purchase price of approximately $12.9 million. The building is 100% leased under the terms of a triple net lease with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.  The lease on this building is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2027 and has two five-year renewal options.

Divestitures:

In November, 2021, as a part of the series of tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions mentioned above, we sold the Auburn Medical Office Building II, a medical office building located in Auburn, Washington, for a sale price of approximately $24.9 million, net of closing costs.  At December 31, 2021, approximately $15.2 million of cash related to the sale proceeds is held by the qualified third-party intermediary that we utilized for the series of anticipated tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions, as mentioned above.     This divestiture generated a gain of approximately $17.6 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021.  

In June, 2021, as a part of the series of tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions mentioned above, we sold the Children’s Clinic at Springdale, a medical office building located in Springdale, Arkansas for a sale price of approximately $3.2 million, net of closing costs.  This divestiture resulted in a gain of approximately $1.3 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021.  

New Construction of Medical Office Building:

In January, 2022, we entered into a ground lease and master flex-lease agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS with the intent to develop, construct and own the real property of Sierra Medical Plaza I, an MOB located in Reno, Nevada, consisting of approximately 86,000 rentable square feet. This MOB will be located on the campus of the Northern Nevada Sierra Medical Center, a newly constructed hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which is scheduled to be completed and opened during the first quarter of 2022. Construction of this MOB, for which we have engaged a non-related third party to act as construction manager, commenced in January, 2022. The cost of the MOB is estimated to be approximately $34 million. A wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS has entered into a master flex lease agreement, which is subject to reduction based upon the execution of third-party leases, for approximately 68% of the rentable square feet of the MOB.

2020:

New Construction:

In September 2019, we entered into an agreement whereby we own a 95% non-controlling ownership interest in Grayson Properties II L.P., which developed, constructed, owns and operates the Texoma Medical Plaza II, an MOB located in Denison, Texas.  This MOB, which was substantially completed in December 2020, is located on the campus of Texoma Medical Center, a hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.  A 10-year master flex lease was executed with the wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS for over 50% of the rentable square feet of the MOB and commenced in December 2020 upon the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. This L.P. entered into a $13.1 million third-party construction loan, non-recourse to us, which is scheduled to mature in June 2025 and has an outstanding balance of $13.1 million as of December 31, 2021.  In addition, we have committed to invest up to $4.8 million in equity and debt financing, $1.8 million of which has been funded as of December 31, 2021.  We account for this LP on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since it is not a variable interest entity and we do not have a controlling voting interest.     

In late July 2019, Des Moines Medical Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, entered into an agreement to build and lease a newly constructed UHS-related behavioral health care hospital located in Clive, Iowa.  The lease on this facility, which is triple net and has an initial term of 20 years with five 10-year renewal options, was executed with Clive Behavioral Health, LLC, a joint venture between a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and Catholic Health Initiatives - Iowa, Corp. (“JV”).  Construction of this hospital, for which we engaged a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS to act as project manager for an aggregate fee of approximately $750,000, was substantially completed in December 2020 and the property received a temporary certificate of occupancy on December 31, 2020, at which time the hospital lease commenced.  Pursuant to the lease on this facility, the JV has the option to, among other things, renew the lease at the terms specified in the lease agreement by providing notice to us at least 270 days prior to the termination of the then current term. The JV also has the right to purchase the leased facility from us at its appraised fair market value upon either of the following: (i) by providing notice at least 270 days prior to the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms, or; (ii) upon 30 days’ notice anytime within 12 months of a change of control of the Trust (UHS also has this right should the JV decline to exercise its purchase right). Additionally, the JV has rights of first offer to purchase the facility prior to any third-party sale.

Acquisition:

On December 28, 2020, we acquired the Sand Point Medical Properties building located in Escanaba, Michigan for a purchase price of approximately $2.2 million.  The building is 100% leased under the terms of a 15-year double net lease (“NN”) with a remaining initial lease term of approximately 14 years at the time of purchase, with three, five-year renewal options.

Disposition:

There were no dispositions during 2020.

2019:

Acquisition:

In late November 2019, we acquired the Bellin Health Family Medicine Center located in Escanaba, Michigan for a purchase price of approximately $5.1 million.  The building is 100% leased under the terms of a triple net lease with a remaining initial lease term of approximately eight years at the time of purchase, with four, five-year renewal options.  

Dispositions:

In December 2019, we sold the Kings Crossing II medical office building, located in Kingwood, Texas for a sale price of approximately $2.5 million, net of closing costs.  This divestiture resulted in a gain of approximately $1.7 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2019.

During the first quarter of 2019, we sold a parcel of land located at one of our buildings for approximately $250,000.  This divestiture generated approximately $250,000 of cash proceeds to us, net of closing costs, and resulted in a gain of approximately $250,000 which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Leases [Abstract]

Lease Accounting

(4) LEASE ACCOUNTING

We adopted the lease standard ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 and applied it to leases that were in place on the effective date as both a lessor and lessee. Our results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019 are presented under the ASC 842 lease standard. We adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach and elected the optional transition method to apply the provisions of ASC 842 as of the adoption date, rather than the earliest period presented. We elected to apply certain adoption related practical expedients for all leases that commenced prior to the election date. This practical expedient allowed us to

not separate expenses reimbursed by our customers (“tenant reimbursements”) from the associated rental revenue if certain criteria were met.

As Lessor: 

We lease most of our operating properties to customers under agreements that are typically classified as operating leases (as noted below, two of our leases are accounted for as financing arrangements at December 31, 2021). We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, under the terms of our leases, the majority of our rental expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, are recovered from our customers. We record amounts reimbursed by customers in the period that the applicable expenses are incurred, which is generally ratably throughout the term of the lease.  We have elected the package of practical expedients that allows lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset. This practical expedient allowed us to not separate expenses reimbursed by our customers (“tenant reimbursements”) from the associated rental revenue if certain criteria were met.  We assessed these criteria and concluded that the timing and pattern of transfer for rental revenue and the associated tenant reimbursements are the same, and for the leases that qualify as operating leases, we accounted for and presented rental revenue and tenant reimbursements as a single component under Lease revenue in our consolidated statements of income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

On December 31, 2021, as a result of the asset purchase and sale transaction with UHS, the real estate assets of two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS were transferred to us (Aiken and Canyon Creek).  As discussed in Note 1, these assets are accounted for as financing arrangements and our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 reflects a financing receivable for the $82.4 million fair value of the real estate assets that we received.  The monthly lease payments received from the wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS will be recorded to interest income and reduce the outstanding financing receivable.   Lease revenue will not be impacted by the lease payments received related to these two properties.

The components of the “Lease revenue – UHS facilities” and “Lease revenue – Non-related parties” captions for the years ended 2021, 2020 and 2019 are disaggregated below (in thousands).  Base rents are primarily stated rent amounts provided for under the leases that are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  Bonus rents and tenant reimbursements represent amounts where tenants are contractually obligated to pay an amount that is variable in nature.

Disclosures Related to Certain Hospital Facilities:

Lease Renewal:

Wellington Regional Medical Center:

Upon the December 31, 2021 expiration of the lease on this acute care hospital located in West Palm Beach, Florida, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS exercised its fair market value renewal option and renewed the lease for a 5-year term scheduled to expire on December 31, 2026.  Effective January 1, 2022, the annual fair market value lease rate for this hospital, which is payable to us monthly, is $6.3 million (there is no longer a bonus rental component of the lease payment). Beginning on January 1, 2023, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2026, the annual rent will increase by 2.50% on a cumulative and compounded basis.  Pursuant to the hospital’s previous lease, we earned aggregate lease revenue of $5.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, (consisting of $3.0 million of base rental and $2.5 million of bonus rental) and $5.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (consisting of $3.0 million of base rental and $2.1 million of bonus rental).

Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement:

Southwest Healthcare System, Inland Valley Campus, Aiken Regional Medical Center and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health:

On December 31, 2021, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with us. Pursuant to the agreement: (i) a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System (“Inland Valley”) from us at its fair market value of $79.6 million; (ii) UHS transferred the real estate assets of two properties to us at their fair market values, consisting of Aiken Regional Medical Center (“Aiken”), which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion, at its fair market value of $57.7 million, and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”) at its fair market value of $24.7 million, and; (iii) we paid approximately $2.8 million in cash to UHS since the aggregate fair market value of Aiken and Canyon Creek ($82.4 million) exceeded the fair market value of Inland Valley ($79.6 million).  The transaction is accounted for as a failed sale leaseback and is therefore recorded as a financing arrangement instead of a real estate investment on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021. The aggregate annual rental during 2022, pursuant to the leases for Aiken and Canyon Creek (payable to us on a monthly basis), amounts to approximately $5.6 million (there is no bonus rental component on either of these leases) and as mentioned above, the lease payments received by us for these two facilities will be recorded as interest income and reduce the outstanding $82.4 million financing receivable that is recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021.  Pursuant to the terms of the lease on the Inland Valley Campus, we earned $4.5 million of lease revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.9 million in bonus rental) and $4.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.8 million in bonus rental).  

Vacant Properties:

Evansville, Indiana, Corpus Christi, Texas and Chicago, Illinois:

The leases on two specialty facilities, located in Evansville, Indiana, and Corpus Christi, Texas, expired on May 31, 2019 and June 1, 2019, respectively. Each facility has remained vacant since 2019. The lease on the 4058 W. Melrose specialty facility, located in Chicago, Illinois, expired on December 31, 2021 and the facility is currently vacant. Pursuant to the terms of the lease on the 4058 W. Melrose property, we earned approximately $1.6 million of lease revenue during each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and approximately $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The aggregate annual operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) incurred by us in connection with the Evansville, Indiana, and Corpus Christi, Texas, facilities amounted to $737,000 during 2021. The former tenant was responsible for the operating expenses of the Chicago, Illinois, property during 2021. The 2022 aggregate operating expenses for the three vacant specialty facilities, including the facility in Illinois, are estimated to be approximately $2.5 million annually. Future operating expenses related to these three facilities will be incurred by us during the time they remain owned and vacant. We continue to market each of these properties to potential interested parties. However, should the properties continue to remain vacant for an extended period of time, or should we experience a decrease in the lease rates on a future leases, as compared to the previous leases, or incur substantial renovations costs to make the properties suitable for another operator/tenant, our future results of operations could be materially unfavorably impacted.  

Minimum future base rents from non-cancelable leases related to properties included in our financial statements on a consolidated basis, excluding increases resulting from changes in the consumer price index, bonus rents and the impact of straight-line rent adjustments, are as follows (amounts in thousands):    

For the year ended December 31,	Amount
2022	$	66,397
2023		61,045
2024		53,385
2025		48,659
2026		44,520
Thereafter		146,870
Total minimum base rents	$	420,876

Some of the leases contain gross terms where operating expenses are included in the base rent amounts. Other leases contain net terms where the operating expenses are assessed separately from the base rentals. The table above contains a mixture of both gross and net leases and does not include any separately calculated operating expense reimbursements. Under the terms of the hospital leases, the lessees are required to pay all operating costs of the properties including property insurance and real estate taxes. Tenants of the medical office buildings generally are required to pay their pro-rata share of the property’s operating costs.

ASU 2016-02 requires that lessors expense certain initial direct costs, which were capitalized under the previous leasing standard, as incurred.  ASU 2016-02 also requires that only the incremental costs of signing a lease be capitalized, which was consistent to our historical practice.

As Lessee:

We are the lessee with various third parties, including subsidiaries of UHS, in connection with ground leases for land at fourteen of our consolidated properties. Our right-of-use land assets represent our right to use the land for the lease term and our lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recognized upon adoption of Topic 842 based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We utilized our estimated incremental borrowing rate, which was derived from information available as of January 1, 2019, in determining the present value of lease payments. A right-of-use asset and lease liability are not recognized for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, as these short-term leases are accounted for similar to previous guidance for operating leases.  We do not currently have any ground leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. As of December 31, 2021, our consolidated balance sheet includes right-of-use land assets of approximately $11.5 million and ground lease liabilities of approximately $11.5 million.

The components of lease expense payments were as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
Operating lease cost	$	508	$	480
Total lease cost	$	508	$	480

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities related to our operating leases was approximately $508,000 and $480,000, respectively, which is included as an operating cash outflow within the consolidated statement of cash flows and included in other operating expenses within the consolidated statements of income. The operating lease expense of $508,000 for 2021 includes the impact of a ground lease related to a previously unconsolidated LLC that we began consolidating during 2021, as well as the impact of a ground lease on an MOB that was divested during 2021. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2020, we did not enter into any lease agreements for our consolidated properties set to commence in the future and there were no newly leased assets for which a right-of-use asset was recorded in exchange for a new lease liability.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2021, we are the lessee with various third parties, including subsidiaries of UHS, in connection with ground leases for land at fourteen of our consolidated properties. Total consolidated amounts expensed relating to the applicable leases in 2021, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $508,000, $480,000 and $480,000, respectively.  The following table summarizes fixed, future minimum rental payments, excluding variable costs, which are discounted by our incremental borrowing rate to calculate the lease liabilities for our operating leases in which we are the lessee.  We do not include renewal options in the lease term for calculating the lease liability unless we are reasonably certain we will exercise the option.  Maturities of lease liabilities are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Management routinely monitors and analyzes the Trust’s capital structure in an effort to maintain the targeted balance among capital resources including the level of borrowings pursuant to our revolving credit facility, the level of borrowings pursuant to non-recourse mortgage debt secured by the real property of our properties and our level of equity including consideration of additional equity issuances pursuant to our ATM equity issuance program.  This ongoing analysis considers factors such as the current debt market and interest rate environment, the current/projected occupancy and financial performance of our properties, the current loan-to-value ratio of our properties, the Trust’s current stock price, the capital resources required for anticipated acquisitions and the expected capital to be generated by anticipated divestitures. This analysis, together with consideration of the Trust’s current balance of revolving credit agreement borrowings, non-recourse mortgage borrowings and equity, assists management in deciding which capital resource to utilize when events such as refinancing of specific debt components occur or additional funds are required to finance the Trust’s growth.

On July 2, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) to amend and restate the previously existing $350 million credit agreement, as amended and dated June 5, 2020 (“Prior Credit Agreement”). Among other things, under the Credit Agreement, our aggregate revolving credit commitment was increased to $375 million from $350 million.  The Credit Agreement, which is scheduled to mature on July 2, 2025, provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $375 million, including a $40 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $30 million sublimit for swingline/short-term loans.  Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we may request that the revolving line of credit be increased by up to an additional $50 million. Borrowings under the new facility are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Trust. In addition, borrowings under the new facility are secured by first priority security interests in and liens on all equity interests in most of the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest annually at a rate equal to, at our option, at either LIBOR (for one, three, or six months) or the Base Rate, plus in either case, a specified margin depending on our ratio of debt to total capital, as determined by the formula set forth in the Credit Agreement. The applicable margin ranges from 1.10% to 1.35% for LIBOR loans and 0.10% to 0.35% for Base Rate loans. The initial applicable margin is 1.25% for LIBOR loans and 0.25% for Base Rate loans. The Credit Agreement defines “Base Rate” as the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) one month LIBOR plus 1%. The Trust will also pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% (depending on the Trust’s ratio of debt to asset value) of the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit commitments.  The Credit Agreement also provides for options to extend the maturity date and borrowing availability for two additional six-month periods.

The margins over LIBOR, Base Rate and the facility fee are based upon our total leverage ratio.  At December 31, 2021, the applicable margin over the LIBOR rate was 1.25%, the margin over the Base Rate was 0.25% and the facility fee was 0.25%.  

At December 31, 2021, we had $271.9 million of outstanding borrowings and $3.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Agreement.  We had $99.9 million of available borrowing capacity, net of the outstanding borrowings and letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2021.  The carrying amount and fair value of borrowings outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement was $271.9 million at December 31, 2021. There are no compensating balance requirements.  The average amount outstanding under our Credit Agreement during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $253.5 million, $219.1 million and $198.3 million, respectively, with corresponding effective interest rates of 2.2%, 2.4% and 3.7%, respectively, including commitment fees and interest rate swaps/caps. At December 31, 2020, we had $236.2 million of outstanding borrowings outstanding against our revolving credit agreement that was in effect at that time, $5.6 million of letters of credit outstanding against the agreement and $108.2 million of available borrowing capacity.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on certain indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and other investments, fundamental changes, asset dispositions and dividends and other distributions. The Credit Agreement also contains restrictive covenants regarding the Trust’s ratio of total debt to total assets, the fixed charge coverage ratio, the ratio of total secured debt to total asset value, the ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value, and minimum tangible net worth, as well as customary events of default, the occurrence of which may trigger an acceleration of amounts then outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We are in compliance with all of the covenants in the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2021 and were in compliance with all of the covenants in the Prior Credit Agreement at December 31, 2020. We also believe that we would remain in compliance if, based on the assumption that the majority of the potential new borrowings will be used to fund investments, the full amount of our commitment was borrowed.

The following table includes a summary of the required compliance ratios at December 31, 2021 and 2020, giving effect to the covenants contained in the Credit Agreements in effect on the respective dates (dollar amounts in thousands):

			December 31, 2021									December 31, 2020

(c.) All mortgage loans require monthly principal payments through maturity and either fully amortize or include a balloon principal payment upon maturity.    

(d.) This loan is scheduled to mature within the next twelve months, at which time we will decide whether to refinance pursuant to a new mortgage loan or by utilizing borrowings under our Credit Agreement.  

The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. The mortgages outstanding as of December 31, 2021 had a combined carrying value of approximately $57.2 million and a combined fair value of approximately $59.4 million. At December 31, 2020, we had various mortgages, all of which were non-recourse to us, included in our consolidated balance sheet.  The combined outstanding balance of these various mortgages was $59.2 million and these mortgages had a combined fair value of approximately $62.0 million.

The fair value of our debt was computed based upon quotes received from financial institutions.  We consider these to be “level 2” in the fair value hierarchy as outlined in the authoritative guidance for disclosure in connection with debt instruments.  Changes in market rates on our fixed rate debt impacts the fair value of debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow.

As of December 31, 2021, our aggregate consolidated scheduled debt repayments (including mortgages) are as follows (amounts in thousands):

2022	$	12,197
2023		11,892
2024		13,550
2025 (a.)		272,839

Total	$	329,052

(a.) Includes assumed repayment of $271.9 million of outstanding borrowings under the terms of our $375 million revolving credit agreement scheduled to mature in July, 2025.

Financial Instruments:

In March 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $55 million with a fixed interest rate of 0.565% that we designated as a cash flow hedge.  The interest rate swap became effective on March 25, 2020 and is scheduled to mature on March 25, 2027. If the one-month LIBOR is above 0.565%, the counterparty pays us, and if the one-month LIBOR is less than 0.565%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 0.565% and one-month LIBOR.

In January 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $35 million with a fixed interest rate of 1.4975% that we designated as a cash flow hedge.  The interest rate swap became effective on January 15, 2020 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024. If the one-month LIBOR is above 1.4975%, the counterparty pays us, and if the one-month LIBOR is less than 1.4975%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 1.4975% and one-month LIBOR.  

During the third quarter of 2019, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a total notional amount of $50 million with a fixed interest rate of a 1.144%. that we designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap became effective on September 16, 2019 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024. If the one-month LIBOR is above 1.144%, the counterparty pays us, and if the one-month LIBOR is less than 1.144%, we pay the counterparty, the difference between the fixed rate of 1.144% and one-month LIBOR.

We measure our interest rate swaps at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is based on quotes from third parties.  We consider those inputs to be “level 2” in the fair value hierarchy as outlined in the authoritative guidance for disclosures in connection with derivative instruments and hedging activities. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was a net asset of $1.1 million which is included in deferred charges and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During the twelve months of 2021, we paid or accrued approximately $1.3 million in net payments made to the counterparty by us, adjusted for accruals, pursuant to the terms of the swaps. From inception of the swap agreements through December 31, 2021 we paid or accrued approximately $1.9 million in net payments made to the counterparty by us pursuant to the terms of the swap (consisting of approximately $198,000 in payments or accruals made to us by the counterparty, offset by approximately $2.1 million of payments due to the counterparty from us).  During the twelve months of 2020, we paid or accrued approximately $733,000 in net payments made to the counterparty by us, adjusted for accruals, pursuant to the terms of the swaps (consisting of approximately $824,000 in payments, adjusted for accruals, or accruals made to the counterparty by us, offset by approximately $91,000 of payments paid to us by the counterparty). Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) within shareholders’ equity.  Amounts are classified from AOCI to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged transaction affects earnings.                

During the second quarter of 2016, we entered into an interest rate cap on the total notional amount of $30 million whereby we paid a premium of $115,000.  This interest rate cap became effective in January, 2017 and expired in March 2019. In exchange for the premium payment, the counterparties agreed to pay us the difference between 1.50% and one-month LIBOR if one-month LIBOR rises above 1.50% during the term of the cap. From inception through the March, 2019 expiration, we received approximately $205,000 in payments made to us by the counterparties ($61,000 of which was received during the first three months of 2019 and $144,000 of which was received during 2018) pursuant to the terms of this cap.

During the third quarter of 2016, we entered into an additional interest rate cap agreement on a total notional amount of $30 million whereby we paid a premium of $55,000. This interest rate cap became effective in October, 2016 and expired in March, 2019. In exchange for the premium payment, the counterparties agreed to pay us the difference between 1.5% and one-month LIBOR if one-month LIBOR rises above 1.5% during the term of the cap. From inception through the March, 2019 expiration, we received approximately $205,000 in payments made to us by the counterparties ($61,000 of which was received during the first three months of 2019 and $144,000 of which was received during 2018) pursuant to the terms of this cap.

Equity Method Investments And Joint Ventures [Abstract]

Summarized Financial Information of Equity Affiliates

(8) SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF EQUITY AFFILIATES

In accordance with U. S. GAAP and guidance relating to accounting for investments and real estate ventures, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs/LPs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting.  The third-party members in these investments have equal voting rights with regards to issues such as, but not limited to: (i) divestiture of property; (ii) annual budget approval, and; (iii) financing commitments. These investments, which represent 33% to 95% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to, and distributions from, the investments. Pursuant to certain agreements, allocations of sales proceeds and profits and losses of some of the LLC investments may be allocated disproportionately as compared to ownership interests after specified preferred return rate thresholds have been satisfied.

Distributions received from equity method investees in the consolidated statements of cash flows are classified based on the nature of the distribution. Returns on investments are presented net of equity in income from unconsolidated investments as cash flows from operating activities.  Returns of investment are classified as cash flows from investing activities.

At December 31, 2021, we have non-controlling equity investments or commitments in four jointly-owned LLCs/LPs which own MOBs. As of December 31, 2021, we accounted for these LLCs/LPs on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since they are not variable interest entities which we are the primary beneficiary nor do we have a controlling voting interest. The majority of these entities are joint-ventures between us and non-related parties that hold minority ownership interests in the entities. Each entity is generally self-sustained from a cash flow perspective and generates sufficient cash flow to meet its operating cash flow requirements and service the third-party debt (if applicable) that is non-recourse to us. Although there is typically no ongoing financial support required from us to these entities since they are cash-flow sufficient, we may, from time to time, provide funding for certain purposes such as, but not limited to, significant capital expenditures, leasehold improvements and debt financing. Although we are not

obligated to do so, if approved by us at our sole discretion, additional cash funding is typically advanced as equity or member loans. These entities maintain property insurance on the properties.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we purchased the 5% minority ownership interest, held by the third-party member in Grayson Properties LP which owns the Texoma Medical Plaza, in which we previously held a noncontrolling majority ownership interest.  As a result of this minority ownership purchase, we now own 100% of the LP and began to account for it on a consolidated basis effective November 1, 2021.  Prior to November 1, 2021, the LP was accounted for on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method.

The following property table represents the four LLCs or LPs in which we own a non-controlling interest and were accounted for under the equity method as of December 31, 2021:

Name of LLC/LP	Ownership			Property Owned by LLC/LP
Suburban Properties		33	%	St. Matthews Medical Plaza II
Brunswick Associates (a.)(b.)		74	%	Mid Coast Hospital MOB
FTX MOB Phase II (c.)		95	%	Forney Medical Plaza II
Grayson Properties II (d.)(e.)		95	%	Texoma Medical Plaza II

(a.) This LLC refinanced its fixed rate mortgage during the fourth quarter of 2020 (as reflected in the mortgage loan table below) and has a third-party term loan of $8.9 million, which is non-recourse to us, outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

(b.) We are the lessee with a third party on a ground lease for land.

(c.) During the first quarter of 2021, this LP paid off its $4.7 million mortgage loan, upon maturity, utilizing pro rata equity contributions from the limited partners as well as a $3.5 million member loan from us to the LP which was funded utilizing borrowings from our revolving credit agreement.

(d.) Construction on this MOB was substantially completed in December 2020. The MOB is located in Denison, Texas on the campus of a hospital owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.  We have committed to invest up to $4.8 million in equity and debt financing, $1.8 million of which has been funded as of December 31, 2021. This LLP entered into a $13.1 million third-party construction loan, which is non-recourse to us and has an outstanding balance of $13.1 million as of December 31, 2021.  The LP developed constructed, owns and operates the Texoma Medical Plaza II.

(e.) We are the lessee with a UHS-related party for the land related to this property. 

Below are the combined statements of income for the four LLCs/LPs accounted for under the equity method at December 31, 2021 and the four LLCs/LPs accounted for under the equity method as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.  The 2020 and 2019 periods do not include the newly constructed Texoma Medical Plaza II that was substantially completed in December, 2020.  The data for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes financial results for the above-mentioned Texoma Medical Plaza in which we purchased the minority ownership interest during the fourth quarter of 2021, for the period of January through October of 2021 only (during which it was accounted for under the equity method).

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

(9) SEGMENT REPORTING

Our primary business is investing in and leasing healthcare and human service facilities through direct ownership or through joint ventures, which aggregate into a single reportable segment. We actively manage our portfolio of healthcare and human service facilities and may from time to time make decisions to sell lower performing properties not meeting our long-term investment objectives. The proceeds of sales are typically reinvested in new developments or acquisitions, which we believe will meet our planned rate of return. It is our intent that all healthcare and human service facilities will be owned or developed for investment purposes. Our revenue and net income are generated from the operation of our investment portfolio.

Our portfolio is located throughout the United States, however, we do not distinguish or group our operations on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or measuring performance. We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore, we define an operating segment as our individual properties. Individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature and economics of the facilities, tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term average financial performance.  No individual property meets the requirements necessary to be considered its own reportable segment.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Nature of Operations

Nature of Operations      

Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries (the “Trust”) is organized as a Maryland real estate investment trust. We invest in healthcare and human-service related facilities currently including acute care hospitals, behavioral health care hospitals, specialty facilities, free-standing emergency departments, childcare centers and medical/office buildings. As of February 24, 2022, we have seventy-five real estate investments located in twenty-one states consisting of:

• six hospital facilities consisting of three acute care hospitals and three behavioral health care hospitals;

• four free-standing emergency departments (“FEDs”);

• fifty-eight medical/office buildings (“MOBs”), including one under construction and including four owned by unconsolidated limited liability companies (“LLCs”)/limited liability partnerships (“LPs”);

• four preschool and childcare centers, and;

• three specialty facilities that are currently vacant.

We are subject to risks associated with public health threats and epidemics, including the health concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and the federal government declared COVID-19 a national emergency. As a result of various policies implemented by the federal and state governments, and varying by individual state, many non-essential businesses in the nation were closed for varying time periods.  

The COVID-19 vaccination process commenced during the first quarter of 2021. Since that time through the second quarter of 2021, the operators of our acute care hospitals had generally experienced a decline in COVID-19 patients as well as a corresponding recovery in non-COVID patient activity.  However, during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, and continuing into the first quarter of 2022, the operators of our acute care hospitals and certain other facilities generally experienced an increase in COVID-19 patients resulting from the Delta and, more recently, the highly transmissible Omicron variants. Booster doses for COVID-19 vaccinations began during the third quarter of 2021, and while we expect the administration of vaccines booster doses will assist in easing the number of COVID-19 patients, the pace at which this is likely to occur is very difficult to predict.

Although COVID-19 has not had a material adverse impact on our results of operations through December 31, 2021, we believe that the potentially adverse impact that the pandemic may have on the future operations and financial results of our tenants, and in turn ours, will depend upon many factors, most of which are beyond our, or our tenants’, ability to control or predict.  Such factors include, but are not limited to, the length of time and severity of the spread of the pandemic; the volume of cancelled or rescheduled elective procedures and the volume of COVID-19 patients treated by the operators of our hospitals and other healthcare facilities; measures our tenants are taking to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic; the impact of government and administrative regulation, including travel bans and restrictions, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders, quarantines, the promotion of social distancing, business shutdowns and limitations on business activity; changes in patient volumes at our tenants’ hospitals and other healthcare facilities due to patients’ general concerns related to the risk of contracting COVID-19 from interacting with the healthcare system; the impact of stimulus on the health care industry and our tenants; changes in patient volumes and payer mix caused by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions (including increases in uninsured and underinsured patients as the result of business closings and layoffs); potential disruptions to clinical staffing and shortages and disruptions related to supplies required for our tenants’ employees and patients, including equipment, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, particularly personal protective equipment, or PPE; potential increases to expenses incurred by our tenants related to staffing, supply chain or other expenditures; the impact of our indebtedness and the ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms; disruptions in the financial markets and the business of financial institutions as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact our ability to access capital or increase associated borrowing costs; and changes in general economic conditions nationally and regionally in the markets our properties are located resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased unemployment and underemployment levels and reduced consumer spending and confidence. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the future business, financial position and results of operations of the operators of our facilities, and in turn, ours.

Bonus rents earned by us on one acute care hospital leased to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc., is computed based upon a computation that compares the hospital’s current quarter revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base

year; we could therefore experience a significant decline in future bonus rental revenue earned on this property should this hospital experience significant declines in patient volumes and revenues.

Certain factors may result in the inability or unwillingness on the part of some of our tenants to make timely payment of their rent to us at current levels or to seek to amend or terminate their leases which, in turn, would have an adverse effect on our occupancy levels and our revenue and cash flow and the value of our properties, and potentially, our ability to maintain our dividend at current levels. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and its impact on the economy, we may experience a decrease in prospective tenants which could unfavorably impact the volume of new leases, as well as the renewal rate of existing leases. The COVID-19 pandemic could also impact our indebtedness and the ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms, as well as risks associated with disruptions in the financial markets and the business of financial institutions as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact us from a financing perspective; and changes in general economic conditions nationally and regionally in the markets our properties are located resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Decreases in cash flows and results of operations may have an impact on the inputs and assumptions used in significant accounting estimates, including potential impairments of intangible and long-lived assets.

Our future results of operations could be unfavorably impacted by government regulations and deterioration in general economic conditions which could result in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or uninsured. Should that occur, it may result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings as well as a reduction in the revenues earned by the operators of our hospital facilities which would unfavorably impact our future bonus rental revenue (on one Universal Health Services, Inc. hospital facility) and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms and the underlying value of the hospital properties.  Management is unable to predict the effect, if any, that these factors may have on the operating results of our lessees or on their ability to meet their obligations under the terms of their leases with us. Management’s estimate of future cash flows from our leased properties could be materially affected in the near term, if certain of the leases are not renewed or renewed with less favorable terms at the end of their lease terms.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate

Purchase accounting is applied to the assets and liabilities related to most real estate investments acquired from third parties. In accordance with current accounting guidance, we account for most of our property acquisitions as acquisitions of assets, which requires the capitalization of acquisition costs to the underlying assets and prohibits the recognition of goodwill or bargain purchase gains. The fair value of most of the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above market rate assumed loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below market assumed loans, are recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.  Please see additional disclosure below regarding “Financing Assets”.

The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property are determined based on comparable land sales for land and replacement costs adjusted for physical and market obsolescence for the improvements. The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property are also determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property based on assumptions that a market participant would use, which is similar to methods used by independent appraisers. In addition, there is intangible value related to having tenants leasing space in the purchased property, which is referred to as in-place lease value. Such value results primarily from the buyer of a leased property avoiding the costs associated with leasing the property and also avoiding rent losses and unreimbursed operating expenses during the hypothetical lease-up period. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) estimated fair market lease rates from the perspective of a market participant for the corresponding in-place leases, measured, for above-market leases, over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases.

At December 31, 2021, our net intangible assets total $10.0 million (net of $14.2 million accumulated amortization) and primarily consist of the value of in-place leases.  At December 31, 2021, our net intangible value of in-place leases total $8.6 million (net of $13.2 million of accumulated amortization) and will be amortized over the remaining lease terms (aggregate weighted average of 4.0 years at December 31, 2021) and are expected to result in estimated aggregate amortization expense of, $1.9 million, $1.6 million, $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $2.8  million for 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 and thereafter, respectively. Amortization expense on intangible values of in place leases was $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The remaining amount of our net intangible assets primarily consists of above-market leases. At December 31, 2021, our net intangible value of above-market leases total $1.1 million (net of $982,000 of accumulated amortization) and will be amortized over the remaining lease terms (aggregate weighted average of approximately 5.6 years at December 31, 2021) and are expected to result in estimated aggregate amortization offset to rental revenue of approximately $199,000 in 2022, $196,000 in 2023, $168,000 in 2024, $168,000 in 2025 and $402,000 in 2026 and thereafter. Amortization offset to rental revenue on intangible values of above-market leases was $205,000, $202,000 and $189,000  for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and capital improvements. The estimated original useful lives of our buildings range from 25-45 years and the estimated original useful lives of capital improvements ranges from 3-35 years. On a consolidated basis, depreciation expense was $23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $21.8 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Financing Assets

Financing Assets

As discussed in Note 2 – Relationship with UHS and Related Party Transactions, on December 31, 2021 we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates. Pursuant to the agreement, UHS purchased from us the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System (“Inland Valley”) and transferred to us the real estate assets of Aiken Regional Medical Center (“Aiken”) and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”). In connection with this transaction, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases (with us as lessor) for initial lease terms of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. As a result of UHS’ purchase option within the lease agreements of Aiken and Canyon Creek, the transaction is accounted for as a failed sale leaseback in accordance with U.S. GAAP and we have accounted for the transaction with UHS as a financing arrangement. A portion of the monthly lease payment to us from UHS will be recorded to interest income based upon an imputed interest rate and the remainder will reduce the outstanding financing receivable. In connection with this transaction, our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 reflects a financing receivable of $82.4 million, which is the aggregate fair value of the real estate assets that we received as part of the transaction (Aiken and Canyon Creek).  As of December 31, 2021 there are no indicators of impairment and the financing receivable will be assessed for recoverability in accordance with our asset impairment policy.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Asset Impairment

Asset Impairment  

We review each of our properties for indicators that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Examples of such indicators may include a significant decrease in the market price of the property, a change in the expected holding period for the property, a significant adverse change in how the property is being used or expected to be used based on the underwriting at the time of acquisition, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of the property, or a history of operating or cash flow losses of the property. When such impairment indicators exist, we review an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition and compare that estimate to the carrying value of the property. We consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If our future undiscounted net cash flow evaluation indicates that we are unable to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Since cash flows on properties considered to be long-lived assets to be held and used are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether the carrying value of a property is recoverable, our strategy of holding properties over the long-term directly decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable and therefore requiring the recording of an impairment loss. If our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material. If we determine that the asset fails the recoverability test, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value.

We generally estimate the fair value of rental properties utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that includes projections of future revenues, expenses and capital improvement costs that a market participant would use based on the highest and best use of the asset, which is similar to the income approach that is commonly utilized by appraisers. In certain cases, we may supplement this analysis by obtaining outside broker opinions of value or third -party appraisals.

In considering whether to classify a property as held for sale, we consider factors such as whether management has committed to a plan to sell the property, the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition for a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value, the sale of the property is probable, and actions required for management to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will made to the plan.  If all the criteria are met, we classify the property as held for sale.  Upon being classified as held for sale, depreciation and amortization related to the property ceases and it is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The assets and related liabilities of the property are classified separately on the consolidated balance sheets for the most recent reporting period. Only those assets held for sale that constitute a strategic shift or that will have a major effect on our operations are classified as discontinued operations. 

Investments in Limited Liability Companies ("LLCs")

Investments in Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”)

In accordance with U.S. GAAP and guidance relating to accounting for investments and real estate ventures, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs/LPs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting.  The third-party members in these investments have equal voting rights with regards to issues such as, but not limited to: (i) divestiture of property; (ii) annual budget approval, and; (iii) financing commitments. These investments, which represent 33% to 95% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to, and distributions from, the investments. Pursuant to certain agreements, allocations of sales proceeds and profits and losses of some of the LLC investments may be allocated disproportionately as compared to ownership interests after specified preferred return rate thresholds have been satisfied.

Distributions received from equity method investees in the consolidated statements of cash flows are classified based upon the nature of the distribution.  Returns on investments are presented net of equity in income from unconsolidated investments as cash flows from operating activities.  Returns of investments are classified as cash flows from investing activities.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we purchased the third-party 5% ownership interest in Grayson Properties, LP which owns the Texoma Medical Plaza, an MOB located in Denison, Texas, for a purchase price of approximately $3.1 million.  We formerly held a non-controlling majority ownership interest in this LP.  As a result of our purchase of the minority ownership interest, we now hold 100% of the ownership interest in this LP and we began accounting for this LP on a consolidated basis effective with the minority ownership interest purchase date. The property’s assets and liabilities are recorded at the carrying amount of its previously held interest, plus the incremental cost which was allocated based upon relative fair values.  A third-party appraisal was completed to determine the fair value of the property.  We do not expect a material impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of this LP subsequent to the transaction.  

At December 31, 2021, we have non-controlling equity investments or commitments in four jointly-owned LLCs/LPs which own MOBs.  We account for these LLCs/LPs on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since they are not variable interest entities which we are the primary beneficiary nor do we have a controlling voting interest. The majority of these entities are joint-ventures between us and non-related parties that hold minority ownership interests in the entities. Each entity is generally self-sustained from a cash flow perspective and generates sufficient cash flow to meet its operating cash flow requirements and service the third-party debt (if applicable) that is non-recourse to us. Although there is typically no ongoing financial support required from us to these entities since they are cash-flow sufficient, we may, from time to time, provide funding for certain purposes such as, but not limited to, significant capital expenditures, leasehold improvements and debt financing. Although we are not obligated to do so, if approved by us at our sole discretion, additional cash funding is typically advanced as equity or member loans. These entities maintain property insurance on the properties.  

An other-than-temporary impairment of an investment in an unconsolidated LLC is recognized when the carrying value of the investment is not considered recoverable based on evaluation of the severity and duration of the decline in value, including projected declines in cash flow. To the extent impairment has occurred, the excess carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

Federal Income Taxes

Federal Income Taxes

No provision has been made for federal income tax purposes since we qualify as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and intend to continue to remain so qualified. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable

income to shareholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal, state or local income tax on income that we distribute as dividends to our shareholders.

We are subject to a federal excise tax computed on a calendar year basis. The excise tax equals 4% of the amount by which 85% of our ordinary income plus 95% of any capital gain income for the calendar year exceeds cash distributions during the calendar year, as defined. No provision for excise tax has been reflected in the financial statements as no tax was due.

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal tax purposes in the cost basis of assets and in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and the recording of provision for impairment losses.

The aggregate gross cost basis and net book value of the properties for federal income tax purposes are approximately $672 million (unaudited) and $417 million (unaudited), respectively, at December 31, 2021.  The aggregate cost basis and net book value of the properties for federal income tax purposes were approximately $645 million (unaudited) and $406 million (unaudited), respectively, at December 31, 2020.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

We expense the grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards over the vesting period. We recognize the grant-date fair value of equity-based compensation and account for these transactions using the fair-value based method.

The expense associated with share-based compensation arrangements is a non-cash charge. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, stock-based compensation expense is an adjustment to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities.

Fair Value

Fair Value

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and determined based upon the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, accounting requirements establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Level 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). In instances when it is necessary to establish the fair value of our real estate investments and investments in LLCs we use unobservable inputs which are typically based on our own assumptions.

The fair value of our real estate investments, components of real estate investments and debt assumed in conjunction with acquisition and impairment activity, are considered to be Level 3 valuations as they are primarily based upon an income capitalization approach. Significant inputs into the models used to determine fair value of real estate investments and components of real estate investments include future cash flow projections, holding period, terminal capitalization rate and discount rates. Additionally, the fair value of land takes into consideration comparable sales, as adjusted for site specific factors. The fair value of real estate investments is based upon significant judgments made by management, and accordingly, we typically obtain assistance from third party valuation specialists. Significant inputs into the models used to determine the fair value of assumed mortgages included the outstanding balance, term, stated interest rate and current market rate of the mortgage.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Accordingly, these items are excluded from the fair value disclosures included elsewhere in these notes to the consolidated financial statements. 

Concentration of Revenues

Concentration of Revenues

The rental revenue earned pursuant to the lease on McAllen Medical Center, which is leased to a related party (see Note 2), generated approximately 10% during 2021, approximately 10% during 2020 and approximately 10% during 2019, of our consolidated revenues.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards  

Except as noted below there were no new accounting pronouncements that impacted or are expected to impact us.  

Accounting for Lease Concessions Granted in Connection with COVID-19

On April 8, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") held a public meeting and shortly afterwards issued a question-and-answer ("Q&A") document which was intended to provide accounting relief for lease concessions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The accounting relief permits an entity to choose to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of a lease contract, which is a requirement of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases, which we adopted on January 1, 2019, as long as the total rent payments after the lease concessions are substantially the same, or less than, the total payments previously required by the lease. An entity may account for COVID-19 related lease concessions either (i) as if they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract; or (ii) as a lease modification. To the extent that a rent concession is granted as a deferral of payments, but the total lease payments are substantially the same, lessors are allowed to account for the concession as if no change had been made to the original lease contract.

Based on the Q&A, an entity is not required to account for all lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic under one elected option, however, the entity is required to apply the elected option consistently to leases with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances. The COVID-19 pandemic did not start to adversely impact the economic conditions in the United States until late March 2020 and did not have a material effect on our operations or financial results during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 848, “Reference Rate Reform.” The amendments in this update contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASC 848 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. We will evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
