Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding our condensed consolidated financial statements. Such condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are the representations of our management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Basis of Presentation Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries and any consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts related to the presentation of interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Interim Unaudited Financial Data Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with GAAP in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; such results may be less favorable for the full year. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries and consolidated joint venture arrangements. The portions of the HTALP operating partnership not owned by us are presented as noncontrolling interests on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and condensed consolidated statements of equity and changes in partners’ capital. Holders of OP Units are considered to be noncontrolling interest holders in HTALP and their ownership interests are reflected as equity on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Further, a portion of the earnings and losses of HTALP are allocated to noncontrolling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to common stock, any difference between the fair value of the common stock issued and the carrying value of the OP Units converted to common stock is recorded as a component of equity. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , there were approximately 4.0 million and 3.9 million , respectively, of OP Units issued and outstanding. VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors, as a group, lack one of the following: (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity; and (iii) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. We consolidate our investment in VIEs when we determine that we are the primary beneficiary. A primary beneficiary is one that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. The HTALP operating partnership and our other joint venture arrangements are VIEs because the limited partners in those partnerships, although entitled to vote on certain matters, do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Additionally, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of our VIEs. Accordingly, we consolidate our interests in the HTALP operating partnership and in our other joint venture arrangements. However, because we hold what is deemed a majority voting interest in the HTALP operating partnership and our other joint venture arrangements, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs. We will evaluate on an ongoing basis the need to consolidate entities based on the standards set forth in GAAP as described above. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Restricted cash is comprised of: (i) reserve accounts for property taxes, insurance, capital and tenant improvements; (ii) collateral accounts for debt and interest rate swaps; and (iii) deposits for future investments. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets to the combined amounts shown on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands): June 30, 2019 2018 Cash and cash equivalents $ 23,194 $ 26,191 Restricted cash 5,950 13,414 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 29,144 $ 39,605 Revenue Recognition Minimum annual rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease (including rent holidays). Differences between rental income recognized and amounts contractually due under the lease agreements are recorded as straight-line rent receivables. Tenant reimbursements, which is comprised of additional amounts recoverable from tenants for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other certain operating expenses are recognized as revenue on a gross basis in the period in which the related recoverable expenses are incurred. We accrue revenue corresponding to these expenses on a quarterly basis to adjust recorded amounts to our best estimate of the final annual amounts to be billed. Subsequent to year-end, on a calendar year basis, we perform reconciliations on a lease-by-lease basis and bill or credit each tenant for any differences between the estimated expenses we billed and the actual expenses that were incurred. We recognize lease termination fees when there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, and the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Rental income is reported net of amortization of inducements. The revenue recognition process is based on a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers as outlined in Topic 606. We recognize 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. We have identified all of our revenue streams and we have concluded that rental income from leasing arrangements represents a substantial portion of our revenue and is governed and evaluated with the adoption of Topic 842. Investments in Real Estate Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $51.9 million and $50.6 million , respectively. Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $104.0 million and $101.3 million , respectively. Leases As lessor we lease space in our MOBs primarily to medical enterprises for terms ranging from three to seven years in length. The assets underlying these leases consist of buildings and associated land which are included as real estate investments on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. All of our leases for which we are the lessor are classified as operating leases under Topic 842. Leases, for which we are the lessee, are classified as separate components on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating leases are included as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, net, with a corresponding lease liability. A lease liability is recognized for our obligation related to the lease and an ROU asset represents our right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. Refer to Note 7 - Leases in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail relating to our leases. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests We account for redeemable equity securities in accordance with ASU 2009-04 Liabilities (Topic 480): Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments, which requires that equity securities redeemable at the option of the holder, not solely within our control, be classified outside permanent stockholders’ equity. We classify redeemable equity securities as redeemable noncontrolling interests on the accompanying condensed consolidated balances sheets. Accordingly, we record the carrying amount at the greater of the initial carrying amount (increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss and distributions) or the redemption value. We measure the redemption value and record an adjustment to the carrying value of the equity securities as a component of redeemable noncontrolling interest. As of June 30, 2019 , all redeemable noncontrolling interests have either converted their interest to OP Units or received cash proceeds due to the last exercisable put option that lapsed on June 30, 2019 . As of December 31, 2018 , we had redeemable noncontrolling interests of $6.5 million . Refer to Note 11 - Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail relating to our redeemable noncontrolling interests. Unconsolidated Joint Ventures We account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operational policy decisions of the investments. Using the equity method of accounting, the initial investment is recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of the net income and any distributions from the joint venture. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had a 50% interest in one such investment with a carrying value and maximum exposure to risk of $66.7 million and $67.2 million , respectively, which is recorded in investment in unconsolidated joint venture on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We record our share of net income in income from unconsolidated joint venture on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recognized income of $0.5 million and $0.4 million , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recognized income of $1.0 million . Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Topic 842, Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, codified as ASC 842 - Leases (Topic 842). This new standard superseded ASC Topic 840 and states that companies will be required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand the nature of the entity’s leasing activities, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. We adopted Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 and elected to use the optional transition method, which allows us to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2019. Using the optional transition method, the cumulative effect adjustment was immaterial and as such no adjustment was made to beginning retained earnings. In addition, it was determined in our analysis that finance leases which we are the lessee were immaterial and as such were excluded from our disclosures. In addition to electing the optional transition method above, we also elected the following practical expedients offered by the FASB which will allow us: • to not reassess: (i) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease arrangement, (ii) lease classification related to expired or existing lease arrangements, or (iii) whether costs incurred on expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs; • to not separate, as the lessor, certain non-lease components, such as common area maintenance from lease revenue if the (i) timing and pattern of revenue recognition are the same for the non-lease component, and (ii) related lease component and the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease; • to exclude land easements from assessment in determining whether they meet the definition of a lease up to the time of adoption; and • to not record on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, lease liabilities and right of use (“ROU”) assets with lease terms of 12 months or less. Lessee Impact Leases for which we are the lessee, including ground leases and corporate leases, which are primarily for office space, have been recorded on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as either finance or operating leases with lease liability obligations and corresponding ROU assets based on the present value of the minimum rental payments remaining as of the initial adoption date of January 1, 2019. Lessor Impact Topic 842 modifies the treatment of initial direct costs, which historically under Topic 840 have been capitalized upon meeting criteria provided for in that applicable guidance. These initial direct costs now under ASC 842 are eligible for capitalization only if they are incremental in nature, (i.e., would only be incurred if we enter into a new lease arrangement). Under this guidance, only commissions paid and other incurred costs incremental to our leasing activity qualify as initial direct costs. These costs, which were previously capitalized, have been classified as general and administrative expenses on our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , we capitalized approximately $0.9 million and $2.2 million , respectively, of initial direct costs. Additionally, as part of Topic 842, ASU 2018-20 states that (i) a lessor must analyze sales (and other similar) tax laws on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis to determine whether those taxes are lessor costs or lessee costs and (ii) a lessor shall exclude from variable payments, lessor costs (i.e., property taxes, insurance) paid by a lessee directly to a third party. However, costs that are paid by a lessor directly to a third party and are reimbursed by a lessee are considered lessor costs that shall be accounted for by the lessor as variable payments. As a result of the adoption of Topic 842, we no longer record income or expense when the lessee pays the property taxes directly to a third party. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , we recognized approximately $3.4 million and $7.0 million , respectively, of tenant paid property taxes. Except where stated above, the adoption of Topic 842 did not have a substantive impact on our results of operations and cash flows and no significant impact on any of our debt covenants. ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation; Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which expands the scope of Topic 718. The amendments specify that ASU 2018-07 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that it does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (i) financing to the issuer or (ii) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606. We adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019 (the effective date) and did not have any reclassifications or material impacts on our consolidated financial statements as a result of this adoption. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses; Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and ASU 2018-19, 2019-04 and 2019-05, Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring more timely recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other such commitments. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial statement assets measured at an amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. ASU 2018-19 also clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of these receivables should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2019-04 provides clarification on the measurement, presentation and disclosure of credit losses on financial assets. ASU 2019-05 provides an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis for comparability to any new financial assets that elect the fair value option. We will adopt ASU 2016-13, ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05 collectively as of January 1, 2020 (the effective date) and do not anticipate there to be a material impact to our consolidated financial statements and related notes based on our ongoing evaluation.
