Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Interim Information The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information (Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 270, Interim Reporting ) and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Corporation has omitted certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained within the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2022. Therefore, the readers of this quarterly report should refer to those audited consolidated financial statements, specifically Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , for further discussion of significant accounting policies and estimates. The Corporation believes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (which include only normal recurring adjustments). Principles of Consolidation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and operations of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. To the extent the Corporation has a variable interest in entities that are not evaluated under the variable interest entity ("VIE") model, the Corporation evaluates its interests using the voting interest entity model. The Corporation has complete responsibility for the day-to-day management of, authority to make decisions for, and control of the OP. Based on consolidation guidance, the Corporation has concluded that the OP is a VIE as the members in the OP do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Accordingly, the Corporation consolidates its interest in the OP. However, because the Corporation holds the majority voting interest in the OP and certain other conditions are met, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs. The portion of the OP not owned by the Corporation is presented as non-controlling interests as of and during the periods presented. Basis of Accounting The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Use of Estimates The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the allocation of purchase price between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the value of long-lived assets and goodwill, the provision for impairment, the depreciable lives of rental property, the amortizable lives of intangible assets and liabilities, the provisions for uncollectible rent and credit losses, the fair value of the earnout liability, the fair value of assumed debt, the fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreements, and the determination of any uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. Long-lived Asset Impairment The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If, and when, such events or changes in circumstances are present, an impairment exists to the extent the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the long-lived asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. Such cash flows include expected future operating income, as adjusted for trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and other factors. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. Significant judgment is made to determine if and when impairment should be taken. The Company's assessment of impairment as of March 31, 2022 and 2021 was based on the most current information available to the Company. Certain of the Company's properties may have fair values less than their carrying amounts. However, based on the Company's plans with respect to each of those properties, the Company believes that their carrying amounts are recoverable and therefore, no impairment charges were recognized other than those described below. If the operating conditions mentioned above deteriorate or if the Company's expected holding period for assets changes, subsequent tests for impairments could result in additional impairment charges in the future. Inputs used in establishing fair value for real estate assets generally fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which are characterized as requiring significant judgment as little or no current market activity may be available for validation. The main indicator used to establish the classification of the inputs is current market conditions, as derived through the use of published commercial real estate market information. The Company determines the valuation of impaired assets using generally accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalization, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations, and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties. Management may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of its real estate. The following table summarizes the Company's impairment charge, resulting primarily from changes in the Company's long-term hold strategy, with respect to the individual property: For the Three Months Ended (in thousands, except number of properties) 2022 2021 Number of properties — 1 Impairment charge $ — $ 2,012 Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes escrow funds the Company maintains pursuant to the terms of certain mortgages, lease agreements, and undistributed proceeds from the sale of properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and is reported within Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restricted cash consisted of the following: March 31, December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Escrow funds and other $ 6,410 $ 6,100 Undistributed 1031 proceeds 5,034 — $ 11,444 $ 6,100 Rent Received in Advance Rent received in advance represents tenant payments received prior to the contractual due date, and is included in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rent received in advance consisted of the following: (in thousands) March 31, December 31, Rent received in advance $ 15,181 $ 15,162 Fair Value Measurements Recurring Fair Value Measurements The balances of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (see Note 9): March 31, 2022 (in thousands) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Interest rate swap, assets $ 8,944 $ — $ 8,944 $ — Interest rate swap, liabilities ( 1,154 ) — ( 1,154 ) — December 31, 2021 (in thousands) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Interest rate swap, liabilities $ ( 27,171 ) $ — $ ( 27,171 ) $ — Long-term Debt – The fair value of the Company's debt was estimated using Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inputs based on recent secondary market trades of the Company's 2031 Senior Unsecured Public Notes (see Note 7), recent financing transactions, estimates of the fair value of the property that serves as collateral for such debt, historical risk premiums for loans of comparable quality, current London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), U.S. Treasury obligation interest rates, and discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt. The discount rates estimated reflect the Company's judgment as to the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and assumes that the debt is outstanding through maturity. Market information, as available, or present value techniques were utilized to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions and do not acknowledge transfer or other repayment restrictions that may exist on specific loans, it is unlikely that the estimated fair value of any such debt could be realized by immediate settlement of the obligation. The following table summarizes the carrying amount reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company's estimate of the fair value of the unsecured revolving credit facility, mortgages, unsecured term loans, and senior unsecured notes which reflects the fair value of interest rate swaps: (in thousands) March 31, December 31, Carrying amount $ 1,802,552 $ 1,699,160 Fair value 1,785,597 1,785,701 Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company's non-recurring fair value measurements at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of the fair value of impaired real estate assets that were determined using Level 3 inputs. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has issued restricted stock awards ("RSAs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") under its 2020 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"). Subject to any adjustment as provided in the Equity Incentive Plan, up to 9,000,000 shares may be issued to awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan. The Company accounts for stock-based incentives in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation , which requires that such compensation be recognized in the financial statements based on the award's estimated grant date fair value. The value of such awards is recognized as compensation expense in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income over the appropriate vesting period on a straight-line basis or at the cumulative amount vested at each balance sheet date, if greater. The Company records forfeitures during the period in which they occur by reversing all previously recorded stock compensation expense associated with the forfeited shares. Dividends declared on RSAs issued under the Equity Incentive Plan are recorded as Cumulative distributions in excess of retained earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accumulated dividends related to forfeited RSAs are reversed through compensation expense in the period the forfeiture occurs. Dividends accrued on the PRSUs are recorded as Cumulative distributions in excess of retained earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accumulated dividends accrued related to forfeited PRSUs are reversed in the period the forfeiture occurs. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity . The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2020-06 also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity's Own Equity , by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 were effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. The Company uses the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Based on the nature of the Company's potentially dilutive instruments, the treasury stock method is not used in computing dilutive earnings per share. Accordingly, the adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company. |
