This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.2019. In this Quarterly Report, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Trust” refer to Universal Health Realty Income Trust and its subsidiaries.

As disclosed in this Quarterly Report, including in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements—Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc.

Our officers are all employees of UHS through its wholly-owned subsidiary, UHS of Delaware, Inc. In addition, three of our hospital facilities are leased to subsidiaries of UHS, and subsidiaries of UHS are tenants of seventeenmedical office buildings (excluding new construction) or free-standing emergency departments, that are either wholly or jointly-owned by us. Any reference to “UHS” or “UHS facilities” in this report is referring to Universal Health Services, Inc.’s subsidiaries, including UHS of Delaware, Inc.

In this Quarterly Report, the term “revenues” does not include the revenues of the fourfive unconsolidated limited liability companies (“LLCs”) in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 95% (one of which owns a medical office building that is currently under construction).

UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 20182019

(unaudited)

 

(1) General

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.2019. In this Quarterly Report, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Trust” refer to Universal Health Realty Income Trust and its subsidiaries.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the term “revenues” does not include the revenues of the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 95%.  As of September 30, 2018,2019, we had investments in four5 jointly-owned LLCs/LPs which own medical office buildings (one of which is under construction), all of which are accounted for by the equity method (see Note 5). These LLCs are included in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented on an unconsolidated basis since they are not variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary, nor do we hold a controlling voting interest.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in our opinion, are necessary to fairly present results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.

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.

 

(2) Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and Related Party Transactions

Leases: We commenced operations in 1986 by purchasing properties from certain subsidiaries of UHS and immediately leasing the properties back to the respective subsidiaries. Most of the leases were entered into at the time we commenced operations and provided for initial terms of 13 to 15 years with up to six6 additional 5-year renewal terms. The current base rentals and lease and rentalrenewal terms for each of the three3 hospital facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS are provided below. The base rents are paid monthly and each lease also provides for additional or bonus rents which are computed and paid on a quarterly basis based upon a computation that compares current quarter revenue to a corresponding quarter in the base year. The three hospital leases with subsidiaries of UHS are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another.

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the UHS hospital facilities accounted for approximately 21% and 22% of our consolidated revenues for each of the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively,approximately 22% and approximately 21% and 22% of our consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. In addition, we have seventeen17 medical office buildings (“MOBs”), or free-standing emergency departments (“FEDs”), that are either wholly or jointly-owned by us (excluding new construction), that include tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS.  The aggregate revenues generated from UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 30% and 31% of our consolidated revenues during each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, and approximately 30%31% and 31%30% of our consolidated revenues during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively.

Pursuant to the Master Lease Document by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 (the “Master Lease”), which governs the leases of all hospital properties with subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the option 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 at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms at the appraised fair market value. In addition, the Master Lease, as amended during 2006, includes a change of control provision whereby UHS has the right, upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, to purchase any or all of the three leased hospital properties listed below at their appraised fair market value. 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)(a.)

UHS has one 5-year renewal option at the existing lease rate (through 2031).  In June, 2018, the 5-year renewal option on this lease was exercised extending the lease term, at the existing lease rate, to December, 2026.

(b)(b.)

UHS has two 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2022 through 2031).

Management cannot predict whether the leases with 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 rentallease revenue currently earned pursuant to the these leases.  

In April, 2017,

We are the recently constructed Henderson Medical Plaza MOB received its certificatelessee on 11 ground leases with subsidiaries of occupancy. Henderson Medical Plaza is locatedUHS. The remaining lease terms on the campusground leases with subsidiaries of UHS range from approximately 30 years to approximately 79 years.  The annual aggregate lease payments on these properties are approximately $479,000 for the year ended 2019 and $481,000 for each of the Henderson Hospital Medical Center, ayears ended 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, and an aggregate of $28.1 million thereafter. See Note 7 for further disclosure around our adoption of the new lease standard.

In late July, 2019 and September, 2019 we entered into two separate agreements which are each related to wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS in connection with newly constructed acute care hospital that is ownedproperties located in Clive, Iowa and operated byDenison, Texas.   Please see additional disclosure in Footnote 4, “New Construction, Acquisitions and Dispositions”.

Officers and Employees: Our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and was completed and opened during the fourth quarter of 2016.  A ground lease has been executed between the limited liability company that owns the MOB and a subsidiary of UHS, the terms of which include a seventy-five year lease term with two, ten-year renewal options at the lessee’s option at an adjusting lease rate. We have invested net cash of approximately $12.8 million on the development and construction of this MOBalthough as of September 30, 2018.2019 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 special 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 Agreementadvisory agreement dated December 24, 1986, and as amended and restated as of January 1, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”) dated December 24, 1986.. 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. Our

Pursuant to the terms of the original advisory agreement, which was in effect from inception through December 31, 2018, in addition to the advisory fee is 0.70% of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheet. In December of 2017, based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses as compared to an industry peer group, the Advisory Agreement was renewed for 2018 pursuant to the same terms as the Advisory Agreement in place since 2013.

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, base and bonus rent receivables, deferred charges and other assets. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year-end based upon our audited consolidated financial statements. In addition,discussed below, the Advisor iswas entitled to an annual incentive fee equal to 20% of the amount by which cash available for distribution to shareholders for each year, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, exceedsagreement, exceeded 15% of our equity as shown on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles without reduction for return of capital dividends. The Advisory Agreement defines cashCash available for distribution to shareholders was defined as net cash flow from operations less deductions for, among other things, amounts required to discharge our debt and liabilities and reserves for replacement and capital improvements to our properties and investments. No incentive fees were paid at any time since our inception sinceSince the incentive fee requirements were not achieved.achieved at any time from our inception through December 31, 2018, 0 incentive fees were paid during that time. Given that the incentive fee requirements had never been achieved, and were deemed unlikely to be achieved in the future, the amended and restated advisory agreement that became effective on January 1, 2019, among other things, eliminated the incentive fee provision.  

Our advisory fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, was computed at 0.70% of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our condensed consolidated balance sheets.  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


2019, as compared to the last three years. The average real estate assets for advisory fee calculation purposes exclude certain items from our condensed 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 $975,000$1.0 million and $908,000$975,000 for the three months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, and were based upon average invested real estate assets of $557$578 million and $519$557 million, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Advisory fees incurred and paid (or payable) to UHS amounted to $2.8$3.0 million and $2.6$2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, and were based upon average invested real estate assets of $538$564 million and $504$538 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively.

(4) New Construction, Acquisitions and Dispositions

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019:    

New Construction:

In September, 2019, we entered into an agreement whereby we will own a 95% non-controlling ownership interest in Grayson Properties II L.P., which will develop, construct, own and operate the Texoma Medical Plaza II, an MOB located in Denison, Texas.  This MOB, which is scheduled to be completed in late 2020, will be 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 has been executed with the wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS for approximately 50% of the rentable square feet of the MOB. The master flex lease commitment is subject to reduction upon the execution of third-party leases on up to the initial 50% of the rentable square footage of the property.  The master flex lease provides for a commencement date effective with the completion of the building and issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Additionally, a ground lease has been executed between the limited partnership that owns the MOB and a subsidiary of UHS, the terms of which include a seventy-five year lease term with 2, 10-year renewal options at the lessee’s option at an adjusting lease rate.  We have committed to invest up to $17.9 million in equity or member loans on the development and construction of this MOB, which may be reduced if a third-party construction loan is placed on the property, and have invested approximately $700,000 as of September 30, 2019.  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 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 5 10-year renewal options, was executed with Clive Behavioral Health, LLC, a joint venture between UHS and Catholic Health Initiatives - Iowa, Corp. (d/b/a Mercy One Des Moines Medical Center). Construction of this hospital, for which we have engaged a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS to act as project manager for an aggregate fee of approximately $750,000, is expected to be completed in the fall of 2020.  The hospital lease will commence upon issuance of the certificate of occupancy. The approximate cost of the project is estimated to be $37.5 million and the initial annual rent is estimated to be approximately $2.7 million.  We have invested approximately $3.6 million for land and the development and construction costs of this hospital as of September 30, 2019.


Acquisitions:

There were 0 acquisitions during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 we declared and paid $26.9 million, or $1.975 per share.first nine months of 2019.

(4) Acquisitions and DispositionsDispositions:    

There were 0 dispositions during the first nine months of 2019.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018:

Acquisitions:

In June, 2018, we acquired the Beaumont Medical Sleep Center Building located in Southfield, Michigan for a purchase price of approximately $4.0 million.  ThisThe building is 100% leased under the terms of a triple net lease withand had a remaining initial lease term of approximately 9.5 years at the time of purchase, with two,2, five year renewal options.

Dispositions:

There were no0 dispositions during the first nine months of 2018.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017:

Acquisitions:

During September, 2017, we acquired the Las Palmas Del Sol Emergency Center located in El Paso, Texas for a purchase price of approximately $4.2 million.  This FED is 100% leased under the terms of a ten year triple net lease that had a remaining lease term of approximately 9 years at the time of purchase, with two, five year renewal options.  

During July, 2017, we acquired The Health Center at Hamburg located in Hamburg, Pennsylvania for a purchase price of approximately $4.7 million. This medical office building is 100% leased under the terms of a fifteen year triple net lease and had a remaining lease term of approximately 8.5 years at the time of purchase, with two, five year renewal options.

These acquisitions were planned and executed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore both qualified as tax deferred like-kind exchange transactions, as discussed below, in connection with the below-mentioned divestiture of St. Mary’s Professional Office Building in March, 2017.  

The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed consisting of tangible property and intangible assets and liabilities, based on the fair values estimated at the acquisition dates. The intangible assets consist of the value of the in-place leases at the properties at the time of acquisition, and the intangible liabilities consist of the value of a below-market lease at the time of acquisition. The value of the in-place leases and below-market lease are amortized over the average remaining lease term of each property at the time of acquisition.

New Construction:

During the first quarter of 2016, we began the development and construction of the Henderson Medical Plaza, an MOB located on the campus of the Henderson Hospital Medical Center which is owned by a UHS subsidiary and opened in late October, 2016. The MOB was completed and opened during April, 2017.


Disposition:

During March, 2017, Arlington Medical Properties, LLC, a formerly jointly-owned limited liability company in which we held an 85% noncontrolling ownership interest, sold the real estate assets of St. Mary’s Professional Office Building (“St. Mary’s”) as part of a series of planned tax deferred like-kind exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.  St. Mary’s is a multi-tenant medical office building located in Reno, Nevada.  A third party member owned the remaining 15% of Arlington Medical Properties LLC, which we acquired prior to the divestiture of St. Mary’s for a purchase price of $7.9 million. The divestiture of St. Mary’s generated an aggregate of approximately $57.3 million of net cash proceeds to us (approximately $11.3 million of which was held as restricted cash by a qualified 1031 exchange intermediary until the third quarter of 2017).  These proceeds, which were net of closing costs and the purchase price paid for the minority member’s ownership interest in the LLC, include repayment to us of a $21.4 million member loan.  Our results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 included a net gain of $27.2 million (net of related transaction costs) recorded in connection with this transaction.

(5) Summarized Financial Information of Equity Affiliates

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) standardsU.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.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 are classified based upon the nature of the distribution. In the Condensed Consolidated Statementscondensed consolidated statements of Cash Flows,cash flows, distributions and equity in net income are presented net as cash flows from operating activities. CumulativeCash distributions received exceeding cumulative equity in earnings represent returns of investments and are classified as cash flows from investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statementscondensed consolidated statements of Cash Flows.cash flows.

At September 30, 2018,2019, we have non-controlling equity investments or commitments in four5 jointly-owned LLCs/LPs which own MOBs.MOBs (including 1 currently under construction and expected to open during the fourth quarter of 2020). As of September 30, 2018,2019, we accounted for these LLCs/LPs on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since they are not variable interest entities andwhich we are the primary beneficiary nor do notwe 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 fundings are typically advanced as equity or member loans. These entities maintain property insurance on the properties.

The following property table represents the fourfive LLCs in which we own a noncontrollingnon-controlling interest (including one that owns an MOB that is currently under construction and is scheduled to be completed in late 2020) and were accounted for under the equity method as of September 30, 2018:2019:

All mortgage loans require monthly principal payments through maturity and include a balloon principal payment upon maturity. 

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/or 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.

(6) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which adds or clarifies guidance of the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, and ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which requires an entity to show the changes in total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows.  We adopted these ASUs by applying a retrospective transition method.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases- Leases (Topic 842), which requiressets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees toand lessors). The guidance amended the existing accounting standards, including the requirement that lessees recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms greater than twelve months on their condensed consolidated balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by most leases, while continuing to recognize expenses on their consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the lease term.sheet. It will also requirerequires disclosures designed to give financial statement users information regarding amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.  The FASB issued ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements" in July 2018, which provides lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying assets, to not separate non-lease components from the related lease components, and, instead, to account for those components as a single lease component, if certain criteria are met. ASU 2016-02 is

We adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the date it became effective for us beginningpublic companies, and applied the new leasing standard to leases in place as of the effective date using the modified retrospective transition method.  We applied Topic 842 to all leases as of January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.  Entities arecomparative periods continuing to be reported under Topic 840. We elected the package of practical expedients and were not required to usereassess the following upon adoption: (i) whether an expired or existing contract met the definition of a modified retrospective approachlease; (ii) the lease classification at January 1, 2019 for existing leases; and (iii) whether leasing costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs would continue to be amortized. This allowed us to continue to account for our existing ground and office space leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the consolidated financial statements.  ASU 2018-11 also provides a practical expedient that allows companies to useas operating leases. Upon adoption, we did not have an optional transition method. Under the optional transition method, a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings duringdue to the periodelection of these practical expedients. The package of practical expedients provided to lessors allowed us not to separate expenses reimbursed by our customers (“rental recoveries”) 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 rental recoveries are the same and, as our leases qualify as operating leases, we accounted for and presented rental revenue and rental recoveries (UHS facilities and Non-related parties) as a single component under Lease revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Upon adoption, is recordedwe recognized right-of-use assets and prior periods would not require restatement. At this time, the primary impact is expected to be related to ourlease liabilities for ground leases in which we serveare the lessee with various third parties, including subsidiaries of UHS, at 14 of our consolidated properties on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

See Note 7 for further disclosure around our adoption of the new lease standard.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which introduced new guidance for an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. Instruments in scope include loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in leases as lessee.well as reinsurance and trade receivables. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarifies that operating lease receivables are outside the scope of the new standard. The standard will be effective for us in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidancethe new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements from both the lessee and lessor perspective. statements.

 


OnIn August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" and subsequent related updates. The amendments in this update expand and refine hedge accounting for both non-financial and financial risk components and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The ASU amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how entities assess effectiveness. The ASU eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires all items that affect earnings be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged items. The amendments in this guidance permit the use of the Overnight Index Swap rate based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes to facilitate the LIBOR to SOFR transition. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and we adopted effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the date of adoption.   ASU 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” While ASU 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it may apply to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate or equipment.2019. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance was required only prospectively. The adoption of this standardguidance did not have a significantmaterial impact on our consolidated financial statements and no cumulative adjustment was recorded upon adoption,statements.

(7) Lease Accounting

As Lessor:

We lease our operating properties to customers under agreements that are classified as operating leases. We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a substantial portionstraight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, under the terms of our revenue consistsleases, the majority of our rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09.

Our revenues consist primarily of rentals received from tenants, which are comprised of minimum rent (base rentals) and bonus rentals and reimbursements from tenants for their pro-rata share of expenses, such asincluding common area maintenance, costs, real estate taxes and utilities.insurance, are recovered from our customers. We apply FASB ASC Topic 606, “Revenuerecord 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 Contracts with Customers” with respect tothe 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 as our leases qualify as operating leases, we accounted for and presented rental revenue and tenant reimbursements as a single component under Lease revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.  As a result of our adoption of this practical expedient, we presented $4.2 million of base rental revenue for UHS facilities, $1.2 million of bonus rental revenue for UHS facilities and $223,000 of tenant reimbursement and other propertyrevenue for UHS facilities as a single component (“Lease revenue – UHS facilities”) in the condensed consolidated statements of income which totaled $3.0 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively,$12.5 million of base rental revenue for UHS facilities, $3.7 million of bonus rental revenue for UHS facilities and $8.5 million and $7.6 million$694,000 of tenant reimbursement revenue for UHS facilities as a single component (“Lease revenue – UHS facilities”) in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to conform to the 2019 new presentation.  Additionally, we presented $10.4 million of base rental revenues from non-related parties and 2017, respectively.  $2.5 million of tenant reimbursements from non-related parties as a single component (“Lease revenue – Non-related parties”) in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and $30.9 million of base rental revenues from non-related parties and $6.8 million of tenant reimbursements from non-related parties as a single component (“Lease revenue – Non-related parties”) in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to conform to the 2019 new presentation.

ASU 2016-02 requires that lessors expense certain initial direct costs, which were capitalizable under the previous leasing standard, as incurred.  Upon adoption, only the incremental costs of signing a lease will be capitalizable, 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 14 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 September 30, 2019, our condensed consolidated balance sheet includes right-of-use land assets of approximately $9.0 million and ground lease liabilities of approximately $9.0 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities related to our operating leases was approximately $120,000, which is included in other operating expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of income.  During the nine month tenant reimbursementmonths ended September 30, 2019, the cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities related to our operating leases was approximately $360,000, which is included as an operating cash outflow within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and included in other property income amounts also include a $1.7 million early lease termination fee recordedoperating expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of income.  As of and during the second quarternine months ended September 30, 2019, 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.

(8) 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 $300 million revolving credit agreement, 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.  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 March 27, 2018, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which, among other things, increased our borrowing capacity by $50 million to $300 million and extended the maturity date from our previously existing facility. The replacement Credit Agreement, which is scheduled to mature in March 2022, includes a $40 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $30 million sub limitsublimit for swingline/short-term loans.  The Credit Agreement also provides for options to extend the maturity date for two2 additional six monthsix-month periods. Additionally, the Credit Agreement includes an option to increase the total facility borrowing capacity up to an additional $50 million, subject to lender agreement.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Trust. In addition, borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by first priority security interests in and liens on all equity interests in certain of the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. Borrowings made pursuant to the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at one, two, three, or six monthsix-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.10% to 1.35% or at the Base Rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.10% to 0.35%. The Credit Agreement defines “Base Rate” as the greater 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%.  A facility fee of 0.15% to 0.35% will be charged on the total commitment of the Credit Agreement. The margins over LIBOR, Base Rate and the facility fee are based upon our total leverage ratio.  At September 30, 2018,2019, the applicable margin over the LIBOR rate was 1.15%1.20%, the margin over the Base Rate was 0.15%0.20%, and the facility fee was 0.20%.  

At September 30, 2018,2019, we had $195.0$205.7 million of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement and $105.0$94.3 million of available borrowing capacity.   At December 31, 2018, we had $196.4 million of outstanding borrowings outstanding against our revolving credit agreement and $103.6 million of available borrowing capacity. There are no compensating balance requirements.  As disclosed below, during the first nine months of 2018, we repaid an aggregate of $21.7 million on three mortgages utilizing borrowings under our Credit Agreement, one of which was refinanced for $13.0 million during the third quarter of 2018.

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 outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We are in compliance with all of the covenants at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We also believe that we would remain in compliance if the full amount of our commitment was borrowed.

The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. The nine mortgages outstanding as of September 30, 20182019 had a combined fair value of approximately $65.4$63.9 million.  At December 31, 2018, we had various mortgages, all of which were non-recourse to us, included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The combined outstanding balance of these various mortgages was $65.3 million and had a combined fair value of approximately $64.9 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.

Financial Instruments:

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%.  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.  The interest rate swap became effective on September 16, 2019 and is scheduled to mature on September 16, 2024.  At December 31, 2017, we had eleven mortgages, all of which were non-recourse to us, included in our consolidated balance sheet. The combined outstanding balance of these eleven mortgages was $75.7 million and had a combinedSeptember 30, 2019, the fair value of our interest rate swap was a net asset of $560,595 which is included in other assets on the accompanying balance sheet. From inception of the swap agreement through September 30, 2019 we received or accrued approximately $76.3 million.$17,000 in payments made to us by the counterparty pursuant to the terms of the swap.   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.

Financial Instruments:

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.  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.  This interest rate cap became effective in January, 2017 and expiresexpired in March 2019. From inception through September 30, 2018,the March, 2019 expiration, we received or accrued approximately $83,000$205,000 in payments made to us by the counterparties (all($61,000 of which was received during the first ninethree months of 2019 and $144,000 of which was received during 2018) pursuant to the terms of these caps.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.  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.  This interest rate cap became effective in October, 2016 and expiresexpired in March, 2019.  From inception through September 30, 2018,the March, 2019 expiration, we received or accrued approximately $83,000$205,000 in payments made to us by the counterparties (all($61,000 of which was received during the first ninethree months of 2019 and $144,000 of which was received during 2018) pursuant to the terms of these caps.this cap.

(8)(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 one1 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 segment.

(9)(10) Impact of Hurricane Harvey  

In late August 2017, five5 of our medical office buildings located in the Houston, Texas area incurred extensive water damage as a result of Hurricane Harvey. Until various times during the second quarter of 2018, these properties were temporarily closed and non-operational as we continued to reconstruct and restore them to operational condition. As of June 30, 2018, reconstruction on all of the occupied space in these properties had been completed and operations resumed.

 

During 2018, pursuant to the terms of a global settlement with our commercial property insurance carrier, we received $5.5 million of additional insurance recovery proceeds bringing the aggregate hurricane-related insurance recoveries to $12.5 million.  The aggregate insurance recovery proceeds, recoveries, which are net of applicable deductibles, covered substantially all of the costs incurred related to the remediation, repair and reconstruction of each of these properties, as well as business interruption recoveries for the lost income related to each of these properties during the period they were non-operational.

 

OurIncluded in our financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 includeare approximately $1.2 million of business interruption insurance recovery proceeds, covering the period of late August, 2017 through June, 30, 2018, approximately $500,000 of which relatesrelated to 2017. These business interruption insurance recovery proceeds are included in net cash provided by operating activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2018 includesincluded approximately $4.5 million of hurricane insurance recoveries in excess of damaged property damage write-downs, which are included in net cash provided by investing activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

Forward Looking Statements and Certain Risk Factors

You should carefully review all of the information contained in this Quarterly Report, and should particularly consider any risk factors that we set forth in this Quarterly Report and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In this Quarterly Report, we state our beliefs of future events and of our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify those so-called “forward-looking statements” by 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. You should be aware that those statements are only our predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating those statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risks outlined herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 in Item 1A Risk Factors and in Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Forward Looking Statements. Those factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any of our 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:  

a substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator, Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”). We cannot assure you that subsidiaries of UHS will renew the leases on our three acute care hospitals (two of which are scheduled to expire in December, 2021 and one of which is scheduled to expire in December, 2026) and two FEDs at existing lease rates or fair market value lease rates. In addition, if subsidiaries of UHS exercise their options to purchase the respective leased hospital facilities and FEDs upon expiration of the lease terms, 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;

a substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator, Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”), which comprised approximately 30% of our consolidated revenues for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and approximately 31% and 30% of our consolidated revenues for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We cannot assure you that subsidiaries of UHS will renew the leases, at existing lease rates or fair market value lease rates, on our three acute care hospitals (two of which are scheduled to expire in December, 2021 and one of which is scheduled to expire in December, 2026) and two FEDs. In addition, if subsidiaries of UHS exercise their options to purchase the respective leased hospital facilities and FEDs upon expiration of the lease terms, 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 lease revenue currently earned pursuant to these leases;

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;

the potential unfavorable impact on our business of 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 deterioration in general economic conditions which could result in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or insured and likely increase the number of individuals without health insurance; as a result, the operators of our facilities may experience decreases in patient volumes which could result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings;

a worsening of the economic and employment conditions in the United States could materially affect the business of our operators, including UHS, which may unfavorably impact our future bonus rentals (on the UHS hospital facilities) 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;

in August, 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011 (the “2011 Act”) was enacted into law. The 2011 Act 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. The 2011 Act provides for new spending on program integrity initiatives intended to reduce fraud and abuse under the Medicare program. 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 2011 Act.  We cannot predict whether Congress will restructure the implemented Medicare payment reductions or what other federal otherbudget 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;

in March, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”) were enacted into law and created significant changes to health insurance coverage for U.S. citizens as well as material revisions to the federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs. The two combined primary goals of these acts are to provide for increased access to coverage for healthcare and to reduce healthcare-related expenses. Medicare, Medicaid and other health care industry changes are scheduled to be implemented at various times during this decade.  Initiatives to repeal the ACA, 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 ACA and legal challenges to the ACA are unknown.  Recent Congressional and Presidential election results created a political environment in which there have been repeated attempts to repeal or replace substantial portions of the ACA; 

Legislation has already been enacted that has repealed the individual mandate to obtain health insurance penalty that had been required by the ACA.  In addition, Congress is considering legislation that would, in material part: (i) eliminate the large employer mandates to provide health insurance coverage; (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 accordingly 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. In relevant part, President Trump has already taken executive actions: (i) requiring all federal agencies with authorities and responsibilities under the Legislation to “exercise all authority and discretion available to them to waiver, defer, grant exemptions, from, or delay” parts of the Legislation that place “unwarranted economic and regulatory burdens” on states, individuals or health care providers; (ii) directing the Department of Labor to enable the formation of health plans that would be exempt from certain Legislation essential health benefits requirements, and; (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;  

It remains unclear what portions of the Legislation may remain, or whether 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 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 our hospitals, including their ability to compete with alternative healthcare services funded by such potential legislation, or for our hospitals to receive payment for services;

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 our operators from other REITs;

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, and Riverside County, California, the site of our Southwest Healthcare System-Inland Valley Campus, a 130-bed acute care hospital;

changes in, or inadvertent violations of, tax laws and regulations and other factors than can affect REITs and our status as a REIT;

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;

 

on March 23, 2010 President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”). The Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Reconciliation Act”), which contains a number of amendments to the ACA was signed into law on March 30, 2010.  Two primary goals of the ACA, 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; 

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 Legislation. President Trump has already taken executive actions: (i) requiring all federal agencies with authorities and responsibilities under the Legislation to “exercise all authority and discretion available to them to waiver, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay” parts of the Legislation that place “unwarranted economic and regulatory burdens” on states, individuals or health care providers; (ii) the issuance of a final rule in June, 2018 by the Department of Labor to enable the formation of association health plans that would be exempt from certain Legislation requirements such as the provision of essential health benefits; (iii) the issuance of a final rule in August, 2018 by the Department of Labor, Treasury, and Health and Human Services to expand the availability of short-term, limited duration health insurance, (iv) 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; (v) 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; (vi) the issuance of a final rule in June, 2019 by the Departments of Labor, Treasury, and Health and Human Services that would incentivize the use of health reimbursement arrangements by employers to permit employees to purchase health insurance in the individual market, and; (vii) directing the issuance of federal rulemaking by executive agencies to increase transparency of healthcare price and quality information.  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. In addition, while attempts to repeal the entirety of the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) have not been successful to date, a key provision of the ACA was repealed 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. While that ruling is stayed and has been appealed, it has caused greater uncertainty regarding the future status of the ACA. If all or any parts of the ACA are found to be unconstitutional, it could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the operators of our properties, and, thus, our business;

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 our operators from other REITs;

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, and Riverside County, California, the site of our Southwest Healthcare System-Inland Valley Campus, a 130-bed acute care hospital;

changes in, or inadvertent violations of, tax laws and regulations and other factors than can affect REITs and our status as a REIT;

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;

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;

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 consolidated 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 all real estate investments acquired from third parties. In accordance with current accounting guidance, we account for our property acquisitions as acquisitions of assets, which permitsrequires the capitalization of acquisition costs to the underlying assets. The fair value 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.

 

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 rentallease 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.

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. We have historically distributed, and intend to continue to distribute, 100% of our annual REIT taxable income 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 consolidated 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

a $299,000 increase due to decreased interest expense resulting primarily from the repayments of certain third-party mortgages (primarily between the third quarter of 2017 through third quarter of 2018) utilizing funds borrowed under our revolving credit agreement which bear interest at a comparatively lower interest rate, partially offset by an increase in our average cost of funds under our revolving credit agreement as compared to the nine months of 2017;

$763,000 decrease resulting from an increase in interest expense primarily due to increases in our average outstanding borrowings and our average cost of borrowings under our revolving credit agreement;

$200,000 decrease resulting from the expiration of a lease on a hospital facility located in Corpus Christi, Texas, that expired on June 1, 2019 (the facility is currently vacant), and;

approximately $300,000 of other combined net decreases.

Included in our other operating expenses are expenses related to the consolidated medical office buildings, which totaled $4.6$4.9 million and $4.5$4.6 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, and $14.2$13.8 million and $13.0$14.2 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively.  The increase inOur operating expenses duringfor the nine-month periodsthree and nine months ended September 30, 2019 include expenses associated with the lease expiration at our hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, as well as other combined net increases.  Our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period, is partially due to: (i) the newly constructed medical office building which opened in April, 2017, and; (ii)include approximately $400,000 of non-recurring repairs and remediation expenses incurred at one of our medical office buildings.buildings during the first nine months of 2018.  A large portion of the expenses associated with our consolidated 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 the related expenses are incurred and are included as tenant reimbursementlease revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

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, as reflected on the attached Supplemental Schedules, 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 gains, such as gains on transactions and hurricane recovery proceeds in excess of damaged property write-downs during the periods presented. We adjusted for hurricane insurance recovery proceeds in excess of damaged property write-downs for the first nine months of 2018 since we believe that this gain is similar in nature and has the same characteristics as an adjustment for gains/losses resulting from the sale of depreciable property, which are required to be excluded from FFO under NAREIT’s definition.  To the extent a REIT recognizes a gain or loss with respect to the sale of incidental assets, such as the sale of land peripheral


to operating properties, 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.shareholders.

Hurricane Harvey Impact

In late August, 2017, five of our medical office buildings located in the Houston, Texas area, as mentioned below, incurred extensive water damage as a result of Hurricane Harvey. Until various times during the second quarter of 2018, these properties were temporarily closed and non-operational as we continued to reconstruct and restore them to operational condition. As of June 30, 2018, reconstruction on all of the occupied space in these properties hashad been completed and operations havehad resumed.

 

During the first quarter of 2018, pursuant to the terms of a global settlement with our commercial property insurance carrier, we received $5.5 million of additional insurance recovery proceeds bringing the aggregate hurricane-related insurance recoveries to $12.5 million.  The aggregate insurance recovery proceeds, which are net of applicable deductibles, covered substantially all of the costs incurred related to the remediation, repair and reconstruction of each of these properties as well business interruption recoveries for the lost income related to each of these properties during the period they were non-operational.  


 

Hospital Leases

Included in our portfolio are six hospital facilities that comprised approximately 25% and 26% of our consolidated revenues during 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The combined revenues generated from the leases on the three UHS hospital facilities, which have existing lease terms that are scheduled to expire in 2021 (two hospitals) or 2026 (one hospital), accounted for approximately 21% and 22% of our consolidated revenues during 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and our Form 10-Q for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the tenants in two of our hospital facilities had provided notice to us that they did not intend to renew the leases upon the scheduled expiration of the respective facilities. The combined revenues generated from the leases on these two hospital facilities comprised approximately 2% of our consolidated revenues during each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The leases on these two hospital facilities, located in Evansville, Indiana, and Corpus Christi, Texas, expired on May 31, 2019 and June 1, 2019, respectively. The Evansville, Indiana hospital tenant entered into a short-term lease with us (which expired on September 30, 2019), at a substantially increased lease rate as compared to the original lease rate. The lease revenue generated from this facility amounted to $842,000 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 (as compared to $178,000 per quarter pursuant to the terms of the original lease). The tenant that occupied the hospital in Evansville, Indiana, vacated the property on September 30, 2019 and the tenant that occupied the hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, vacated the property on June 1, 2019.  

Although we are in the process of marketing each property for lease to new tenants, should these properties remain vacant for an extended period of time, or should we experience decreased lease rates on future leases, as compared to prior/expired lease rates, or incur substantial renovation costs to make the properties suitable for other operators/tenants, our future results of operations could be materially unfavorably impacted.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, we paid: (i) $23.0 million on mortgage notes payable that are non-recourse to us, including the repayments of $21.7$21.7 million related to previously outstanding mortgage notes payable on three properties, (one of which was refinanced during the third quarter of 2018, as mentioned below) which were funded utilizing borrowings under our revolving credit agreement; (ii) $1.7 million of financing costs related to the revolving credit agreement that was amended during the first quarter of 2018, and financing costs of a new mortgage note payable refinance, and; (iii) $27.6 million of dividends.  Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received: (i) $14.0 million of net borrowings on our revolving credit agreement; (ii) $13.0 million of proceeds related a new mortgage note payable refinance that is non-recourse to us (these proceeds were utilized to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility), and; (iii) $173,000 of net cash from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we paid: (i) $24.8 million of net borrowings on our revolving line of credit; (ii) $43.7 million on mortgage notes payable that are non-recourse to us, including the repayment of an aggregate of $41.6 million related to previously outstanding mortgage notes payable on three properties that were funded utilizing borrowings under our revolving credit facility; (iii) $290,000 of financing costs related to the revolving credit facility and new mortgage notes payable that are non-recourse to us, and; (iv) $26.9 million of dividends.  Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received (i) $13.2 million of proceeds from a new mortgage note payable that is non-recourse to us (these proceeds were utilized to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility), and; (ii) $9.3 million of net cash from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest, including $9.1 million of net cash proceeds received in connection with our ATM Program, as discussed below.

Pursuant to the terms of our previously outstanding at-the-market equity issuance program, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were 127,499 shares issued at an average price of $74.71 per share which generated approximately $9.1 million of net cash proceeds (net of approximately $400,000, consisting of compensation of $238,000 to Merrill Lynch, as well as $162,000 of other various fees and expenses).  

Additional cash flow and dividends paid information for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017:2018:

As indicated on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, we generated net cash provided by operating activities of $33.2$31.7 million and $33.6$33.2 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. As also indicated on our statement of cash flows, non-cash expenses including depreciation and amortization expense, amortization of debt premium, stock-based compensation expense, hurricane insurance recovery proceeds in excess of damaged property write-downs, hurricane related expenses and recoveries and gain on transaction (as applicable) are the primary differences between our net income and net cash


provided by operating activities during each period. In addition, as reflected in the cash flows from investing activities section, we received $773,000$343,000 and $1.1 million$773,000 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, of cash distributions in excess of income from various unconsolidated LLCs which represents our share of the net cash flow distributions from these entities. The cash distributions in excess of income represent operating cash flows net of capital expenditures and debt repayments made by the LLCs.

We therefore generated $34.0$32.1 million and $34.7$34.0 million of net cash during the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, related to the operating activities of our properties recorded on a consolidated and an unconsolidated basis. We declared dividends of $28.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and paiddeclared dividends of $27.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and2018.  During the first nine months of 2019, the $32.1 million of net cash generated related to the operating activities of our properties was approximately $4.1 million greater than the $32.1 million of dividends declared and paid dividends of $26.9 million during the first nine months ended September 30, 2017.of 2019. During the first nine months of 2018, the $34.0 million of net cash generated related to the operating activities of our properties was approximately $6.5 million greater than the $27.6 million of dividends declared and paid during the first nine months of 2018. During the first nine months of 2017, the $34.7 million of net cash generated related to the operating activities of our properties was approximately $7.8 million greater than the $26.9 million of dividends declared and paid during the first nine months of 2017.  

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 the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018.  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 existing $300 million revolving credit agreement (which had $105.0$94.3 million of available borrowing capacity, net of outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2018)2019); (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, 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 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 $300 million revolving credit agreement, 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.  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 March 27, 2018, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which, among other things, increased our borrowing capacity by $50 million to $300 million and extended the maturity date from our previously existing facility. The replacement Credit Agreement, which is scheduled to mature in March, 2022, includes a $40 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $30 million sub limit for swingline/short-term loans.  The Credit Agreement also provides for options to extend the maturity date for two additional six monthsix-month periods. Additionally, the Credit Agreement includes an option to increase the total facility borrowing capacity up to an additional $50 million, subject to lender agreement.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Trust. In addition, borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by first priority security interests in and liens on all equity interests in certain of the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. Borrowings made pursuant to the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at one, two, three, or six monthsix-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.10% to 1.35% or at the Base Rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.10% to 0.35%. The Credit Agreement defines “Base Rate” as the greater 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%.  A facility fee of 0.15% to 0.35% will be charged on the total commitment of the Credit Agreement. The margins over LIBOR, Base Rate and the facility fee are based upon our total leverage ratio.  At September 30, 2018,2019, the applicable margin over the LIBOR rate was 1.15%1.20%, the margin over the Base Rate was 0.15%0.20%, and the facility fee was 0.20%.  

At September 30, 2018,2019, we had $195.0$205.7 million of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement and $105.0$94.3 million of available borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2018, we had $196.4 million of outstanding borrowings outstanding against our revolving credit agreement and $103.6 million of available borrowing capacity.  There are no compensating balance requirements.  As disclosed below, during the first nine months of 2018, we repaid an aggregate of $21.7 million on three mortgages utilizing borrowings under our Credit Agreement, one of which was refinanced for $13.0 million during the third quarter of 2018.

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 outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We are in compliance with all of the covenants at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We also believe that we would remain in compliance if the full amount of our commitment was borrowed.

The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. The nine mortgages outstanding as of September 30, 20182019 had a combined fair value of approximately $65.4$63.9 million.  At December 31, 2018, 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 $65.3 million and had a combined fair value of approximately $64.9 million.

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.

At December 31, 2017, we had eleven mortgages, all of which were non-recourse to us, included in our consolidated balance sheet. The combined outstanding balance of these eleven mortgages was $75.7 million and had a combined fair value of approximately $76.3 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Reference is made to Item 7A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. There have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative disclosures during the first nine months of 2018.2019.  

LIBOR Transition

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee ("ARRC") 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 when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets. 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 September 30, 2019, we had contracts that are indexed to LIBOR, such as our unsecured revolving credit facility and interest rate derivative. 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.

If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact on our contracts is likely to vary by contract. If LIBOR is discontinued or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, interest rates on our current or future indebtedness may be adversely affected.

While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of  September 30, 2018,2019, 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 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 1934 Act and the SEC rules thereunder.

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842.  In connection with our adoption of ASC 842 we did implement changes to our internal controls relating to leases.  These changes included the development of new policies, enhanced contract review requirements and other ongoing monitoring activities.  These controls were designed to provide assurance at a reasonable level of the fair presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during the first nine months of 20182019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
