EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 of Physicians Realty Trust (the “Trust”), a Maryland real estate investment trust, and Physicians Realty L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company,” refer to the Trust, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. References to the “Operating Partnership” mean collectively the Operating Partnership, together with its consolidated subsidiaries. In this report, all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares of the Trust and references to “our shareholders” refer to shareholders of the common shares of the Trust, the term “OP Units” refers to partnership interests of the Operating Partnership and the term “Series A Preferred Units” refers to Series A Participating Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. As of July 29, 2019, 112,701 Series A Preferred Units were outstanding.

The Trust is a self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed primarily to acquire, selectively develop, own, and manage healthcare properties that are leased to physicians, hospitals, and healthcare delivery systems. The Trust operates in an umbrella partnership REIT structure (“UPREIT”) in which the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries hold substantially all of the assets. The Trust’s operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership and wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Trust, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, controls the Operating Partnership and consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.

The Trust conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2019, the Trust held a 97.1% interest in the Operating Partnership and owned no Series A Preferred Units. Apart from this ownership interest, the Trust has no independent operations.

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, shareholders’ equity of the Trust, and partners’ capital of the Operating Partnership are the primary areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Trust and those of the Operating Partnership. OP Units not owned by the Trust are accounted for as limited partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in the Trust’s consolidated financial statements. The differences between the Trust’s shareholders’ equity and the Operating Partnership’s partners’ capital are due to the differences in the equity issued by the Trust and the Operating Partnership, respectively.

The Company believes combining the Quarterly Reports of the Trust and the Operating Partnership, including the notes to the consolidated financial statements, into this single report results in the following benefits:

• a combined report enhances investors’ understanding of the Trust and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

• a combined report eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation, as a substantial portion of the Company’s disclosure applies to both the Trust and the Operating Partnership; and

• a combined report creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Trust and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Trust and the Operating Partnership:

• the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report;

• certain accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements, including Note 14 (Earnings Per Share and Earnings Per Unit);

• controls and procedures in Part I, Item 4 of this report; and

• the certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer included as Exhibits 31 and 32 to this report.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, property performance, and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Likewise, all of our statements regarding anticipated growth in our funds from operations and anticipated market conditions, demographics, and results of operations are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believe,” “expect,” “outlook,” “continue,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” “approximately,” “intend,” “plan,” “pro forma,” “estimate” or “anticipate” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans, expectations, or intentions.

These forward-looking statements reflect the views of our management regarding current expectations and projections about future events and are based on currently available information. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data, or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

• general economic conditions;

• adverse economic or real estate developments, either nationally or in the markets where our properties are located;

• our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness, or our ability to pay down or refinance our indebtedness;

• fluctuations in interest rates and increased operating costs;

• the availability, terms and deployment of debt and equity capital, including our unsecured revolving credit facility;

• our ability to make distributions on our common shares;

• general volatility of the market price of our common shares;

• our increased vulnerability economically due to the concentration of our investments in healthcare properties;

• our geographic concentration in Texas causes us to be particularly exposed to downturns in the Texas economy or other changes in Texas market conditions;

• changes in our business or strategy;

• our dependence upon key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed;

• our ability to identify, hire, and retain highly qualified personnel in the future;

• the degree and nature of our competition;

• changes in governmental regulations or interpretations thereof, such as real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates, taxation of REITs, and similar matters;

• defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants;

• decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;

• difficulties in identifying healthcare properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;

• competition for investment opportunities;

1

• any adverse effects to the business, financial position or results of CommonSpirit Health, or one or more of the CommonSpirit Health-affiliated tenants, that impact the ability of CommonSpirit Health-affiliated tenants to pay us rent;

• the impact of our investments in joint ventures we may make in the future;

• the financial condition and liquidity of, or disputes with, any joint venture and development partners with whom we may make co-investments in the future;

• cybersecurity incidents could disrupt our business and result in the compromise of confidential information;

• our ability to operate as a public company;

• changes in healthcare laws or government reimbursement rates;

• changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”);

• lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance;

• other factors affecting the real estate industry generally;

• our failure to maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

• limitations imposed on our business and our ability to satisfy complex rules in order for us to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

• other factors that may materially adversely affect us, or the per share trading price of our common shares, including:

• the number of our common shares available for future issuance or sale;

• our issuance of equity securities or the perception that such issuance might occur;

• future debt;

• failure of securities analysts to publish research or reports about us or our industry; and

• securities analysts’ downgrade of our common shares or the healthcare-related real estate sector.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events, or other changes after the date of this report, except as required by applicable law. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that are based on information currently available to us or the third parties making the forward-looking statements. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance or transactions, see Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, the use of the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company,” refer to Physicians Realty Trust, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Physicians Realty L.P.

Note 1. Organization and Business

The Trust was organized in the state of Maryland on April 9, 2013. As of June 30, 2019, the Trust was authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share. The Trust filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to a proposed underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) and completed the IPO of its common shares and commenced operations on July 24, 2013.

The Trust contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to the Operating Partnership. The Trust and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one entity, and the Trust has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Trust’s operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership and wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Trust, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, controls the Operating Partnership and consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Trust and the Operating Partnership are the same.

The Trust is a self-managed REIT formed primarily to acquire, selectively develop, own, and manage healthcare properties that are leased to physicians, hospitals, and healthcare delivery systems.

On August 5, 2016, the Trust and the Operating Partnership entered into separate At Market Issuance Sales Agreements (the “Sales Agreements”) with each of KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., JMP Securities LLC, Raymond James & Associates, Inc., and Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Agents”), pursuant to which the Trust may issue and sell, from time to time, its common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, through the Agents (the “ATM Program”). In accordance with the Sales Agreements, the Trust may offer and sell its common shares through any of the Agents, from time to time, by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which includes sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or other existing trading market, or sales made to or through a market maker. With the Trust’s express written consent, sales may also be made in negotiated transactions or any other method permitted by law.

During the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Trust’s issuance and sale of common shares pursuant to the ATM Program is as follows (in thousands, except common shares and price):

	Common shares sold	Weighted average price		Net proceeds
Quarterly period ended March 31, 2019	1,681,928	$	18.61	$	30,986
Quarterly period ended June 30, 2019	971,000	18.66		17,935
Year to date	2,652,928	$	18.63	$	48,921

As of June 30, 2019, the Trust has $114.3 million remaining available under the ATM Program.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Trust’s and the Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Commission on February 28, 2019.

 Principles of Consolidation

GAAP requires us to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). ASC 810 broadly defines a VIE as an entity in which either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. We identify the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity. We consolidate our investment in a VIE when we determine that we are the VIE’s primary beneficiary. We may change our original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary. We perform this analysis on an ongoing basis.

For property holding entities not determined to be VIEs, we consolidate such entities in which the Operating Partnership owns 100% of the equity or has a controlling financial interest evidenced by ownership of a majority voting interest. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. For entities in which the Operating Partnership owns less than 100% of the equity interest, the Operating Partnership consolidates the property if it has the direct or indirect ability to control the entities’ activities based upon the terms of the respective entities’ ownership agreements. For these entities, the Operating Partnership records a noncontrolling interest representing equity held by noncontrolling interests.

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company presents the portion of any equity it does not own in entities that it controls (and thus consolidates) as noncontrolling interests and classifies such interests as a component of consolidated equity, separate from the Company’s total shareholders’ equity, on the consolidated balance sheets.

Operating Partnership: Noncontrolling interests in the Company include OP Units held by other investors. Net income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests (limited partners) based on their respective ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. The ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the number of OP Units held by the noncontrolling interests by the total OP Units held by the noncontrolling interests and the Trust. Issuance of additional common shares and OP Units changes the ownership interests of both the noncontrolling interests and the Trust. Such transactions and the related proceeds are treated as capital transactions.

On April 4, 2019, the Operating Partnership partially funded a property acquisition by issuing an aggregate of 346,989 OP Units valued at approximately $6.5 million. The acquisition had a total purchase price of approximately $14.8 million.

As of June 30, 2019, the Trust held a 97.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Trust consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.

Holders of OP Units may not transfer their units without the Trust’s prior written consent, as general partner of the Operating Partnership. Beginning on the first anniversary of the issuance of OP Units to the respective holders, OP Unit holders may tender their units for redemption by the Operating Partnership in exchange for cash equal to the market price of the Trust’s common shares at the time of redemption or for unregistered common shares on a one-for-one basis. Such selection to pay cash or issue common shares to satisfy an OP Unit holder’s redemption request is solely within the control of the Trust. Accordingly, the Trust presents the OP Units of the Operating Partnership held by investors other than the Trust as noncontrolling interests within equity in the consolidated balance sheets.

Partially Owned Properties: The Trust and Operating Partnership reflect noncontrolling interests in partially owned properties on the balance sheet for the portion of consolidated properties that are not wholly owned by the Company. The earnings or losses from those properties attributable to the noncontrolling interests are reflected as noncontrolling interests in partially owned properties in the consolidated statements of income.

On May 6, 2019, the Operating Partnership acquired the remaining noncontrolling interest associated with a previously acquired medical office portfolio in Minnesota. The Operating Partnership paid approximately $0.5 million as consideration for the redemption.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Series A Preferred Units and Partially Owned Properties

On February 5, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) which provides for the designation and issuance of the Series A Participating Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership (“Series A Preferred Units”). Series A Preferred Units have priority over all other partnership interests of the Operating Partnership with respect to distributions and liquidation. Holders of Series A Preferred Units are entitled to a 5% cumulative return and upon redemption, the receipt of one common share and $200. The holders of the Series A Preferred Units have agreed not to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their Series A Preferred Units prior to one year from the issuance date. In addition, Series A Preferred Units are redeemable at the option of the holders which redemption obligation may be satisfied, at the Trust’s option, in cash or registered common shares. Instruments that require settlement in registered common shares may not be classified in permanent equity as it is not always completely within an issuer’s control to deliver registered common shares. Due to the redemption rights associated with the Series A Preferred Units, the Company classifies the Series A Preferred Units in the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheets.

The Series A Preferred Units were evaluated for embedded features that should be bifurcated and separately accounted for as a freestanding derivative. The Company determined that the Series A Preferred Units contained features that require bifurcation. The Company records the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests, less the value of the embedded derivative, at the greater of the carrying value or redemption value in the consolidated balance sheets.

On January 9, 2018, the acquisition of the HealthEast Clinic & Specialty Center (“Hazelwood Medical Commons Transaction”) was partially funded with the issuance of 104,172 Series A Preferred Units, with a value of $22.7 million. Due to the redemption rights associated with the Series A Preferred Units, the Trust classifies the Series A Preferred Units in the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the Hazelwood Medical Commons Transaction, the Operating Partnership agreed to pay additional purchase consideration under an earn-out agreement with the seller if certain lease-up requirements were achieved before January 8, 2023. On June 19, 2019, the Operating Partnership funded, with the issuance of 8,529 Series A Preferred Units, an earn-out payment valued at $1.9 million on the date of issuance, which was capitalized to the cost basis of the property.

As of June 30, 2019, there were 112,701 Series A Preferred Units outstanding, with an embedded derivative value of $4.1 million. The embedded derivative value is classified in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the Company’s acquisitions of the medical office building, ambulatory surgery center, and hospital located on the Great Falls Hospital campus in Great Falls, Montana, physicians affiliated with the sellers retained non-controlling interests which may, at the holders’ option, be redeemed at any time after May 1, 2023. Due to the redemption provision, which is outside of the control of the Trust, the Trust classifies the investment in the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheets. The Trust records the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests at the greater of the carrying value or redemption value.

Dividends and Distributions

On June 21, 2019, the Trust announced that its Board of Trustees authorized and the Trust declared a cash dividend of $0.23 per common share for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019. The distribution was paid on July 18, 2019 to common shareholders and OP Unit holders of record as of the close of business on July 3, 2019.

All distributions paid by the Operating Partnership are declared and paid at the same time as dividends are distributed by the Trust to common shareholders. It has been the Operating Partnership’s policy to declare quarterly distributions so as to allow the Trust to comply with applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), governing REITs. The declaration and payment of quarterly distributions remains subject to the review and approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

Our shareholders are entitled to reinvest all or a portion of any cash distribution on their shares of our common stock by participating in our Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (“DRIP”), subject to the terms of the plan.

17

Tax Status of Dividends and Distributions

Our distributions of current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are treated as a non-taxable reduction of the shareholders’ basis in the shares to the extent thereof (non-dividend distributions) and thereafter as taxable gain.

Any cash distributions received by an OP Unit holder in respect of its OP Units generally will not be taxable to such OP Unit holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to the extent that such distribution does not exceed the OP Unit holder’s basis in its OP Units. Any such distribution will instead reduce the OP Unit holder’s basis in its OP Units (and OP Unit holders will be subject to tax on the taxable income allocated to them by the Operating Partnership in respect of their OP Units when such income is earned by the Operating Partnership, with such income allocation increasing the OP Unit holders’ basis in their OP Units).

Purchases of Investment Properties

With the adoption of ASU 2017-01 in January 2018, our acquisitions of investment properties and the majority of our future investments will be accounted for as asset acquisitions and will result in the capitalization of acquisition costs. The purchase price, inclusive of acquisition costs, will be allocated to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values. Tangible assets primarily consist of land and buildings and improvements. Intangible assets primarily consist of above- or below-market leases, in place leases, and above- or below-market debt assumed. Any future contingent consideration will be recorded when the contingency is resolved. The determination of the fair value requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions.

The determination of fair value involves the use of significant judgment and estimation. The Company makes estimates of the fair value of the tangible and intangible acquired assets and assumed liabilities using information obtained from multiple sources as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence and generally includes the assistance of a third party appraiser. The Company estimates the fair value of an acquired asset on an “as-if-vacant” basis and its value is depreciated in equal amounts over the course of its estimated remaining useful life. The Company determines the allocated value of other fixed assets, such as site improvements, based upon the replacement cost and depreciates such value over the assets’ estimated remaining useful lives as determined at the applicable acquisition date. The fair value of land is determined either by considering the sales prices of similar properties in recent transactions or based on an internal analysis of recently acquired and existing comparable properties within the Company’s portfolio.

The value of above- or below-market leases is estimated based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflected the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the leases and management’s estimate of market lease rates measured over a period equal to the estimated remaining term of the lease. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease intangibles are amortized as a reduction or addition to rental income over the estimated remaining term of the respective leases plus the term of any renewal options that the lessee would be economically compelled to exercise.

In determining the value of in-place leases, management considers current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases in arriving at an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up period from vacant to existing occupancy. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods, and costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal, and other related costs based on current market demand. The values assigned to in-place leases are amortized to amortization expense over the estimated remaining term of the lease. If a lease terminates prior to its scheduled expiration, all unamortized costs related to that lease are written off, net of any required lease termination payments.

The Company calculates the fair value of any long-term debt assumed by discounting the remaining contractual cash flows on each instrument at the current market rate for those borrowings, which the Company approximates based on the rate it would expect to incur on a replacement instrument on the date of acquisition, and recognizes any fair value adjustments related to long-term debt as effective yield adjustments over the remaining term of the instrument.

Based on these estimates, the Company recognizes the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values, which are generally determined using Level 3 inputs, such as market rental rates, capitalization rates, discount rates, or other available market data.

18

Impairment of Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets, primarily consisting of investments in real estate, for impairment indicators or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If indicators of impairment are present, the Company evaluates the carrying value of the related real estate properties in relation to the undiscounted expected future cash flows of the underlying operations. In performing this evaluation, management considers market conditions and current intentions with respect to holding or disposing of the real estate property. The Company adjusts the net book value of real estate properties to fair value if the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows, including sales proceeds, is less than book value. The Company recognizes an impairment loss at the time it makes any such determination. If the Company determines that an asset is impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the recorded amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is typically determined using a discounted future cash flow analysis or other acceptable valuation techniques which are based, in turn, upon Level 3 inputs, such as revenue and expense growth rates, capitalization rates, discount rates, or other available market data. With the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases, on January 1, 2019, the Company periodically evaluates the right-of-use assets for impairment as detailed above.

The Company did not record any impairment charges in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 or 2018.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

The Company reports investments in unconsolidated entities over whose operating and financial policies it has the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses is included in its consolidated statements of income. The initial carrying value of investments in unconsolidated entities is based on the amount paid to purchase the equity interest.

Real Estate Loans Receivable

Real estate loans receivable consists of twelve mezzanine loans, two construction loans, and one term loan as of June 30, 2019. Generally, each mezzanine loan is collateralized by an ownership interest in the respective borrower, each term loan is secured by a mortgage of a related medical office building, and the construction loan is secured by a mortgage on the land and the improvements as constructed. Interest income on the loans are recognized as earned based on the terms of the loans subject to evaluation of collectability risks and is included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of its loan portfolio, including related interest income receivable, and establishes a reserve for loan losses, if necessary. No such losses have been recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018.

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases when collectability is probable. Recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis for leases may result in recognizing revenue for amounts more or less than amounts currently due from tenants. Amounts recognized in excess of amounts currently due from tenants are included in other assets and were approximately $67.0 million and $64.2 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. If the Company determines that collectability of straight-line rents is not probable, rental revenue is limited to the lease payments collected from the lessee, including any variable lease payments.

In accordance with ASU 2016-02, Leases, Topic 842 (“ASC 842”), if the collectability of a lease changes after the commencement date, any difference between lease income that would have been recognized and the lease payments shall be recognized as an adjustment to lease income. On January 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASC 842 and applied the prospective approach consolidating bad debt as an adjustment to rental revenues. Bad debt recognized as an adjustment to rental revenues was $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Net bad debt recoveries of $0.1 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and was reported in operating expenses.

Rental revenue is adjusted by amortization of lease inducements and above- or below-market rents on certain leases. Lease inducements and above- or below-market rents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the lease.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company wrote-off $3.5 million of straight-line rent receivables and $0.8 million of rent receivables related to three properties owned by the Company and operated by LifeCare Holdings, LLC (“LifeCare”), representing an aggregate reduction to revenue of $4.3 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the

19

Company also wrote-off $3.0 million of straight-line rent receivables and $2.1 million of rent receivables related to the Foundation El Paso Surgical Hospital, representing an aggregate reduction to revenue of $5.1 million.

Expense Recoveries

Expense recoveries relate to tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses that are recognized in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recorded gross, as the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to real estate taxes and purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier, and bears the credit risk of tenant reimbursement.

The Company has certain tenants with absolute net leases. Under these lease agreements, the tenant is responsible for operating and building expenses. For absolute net leases, we do not recognize operating expense or expense recoveries.

Derivative Instruments

When the Company has derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, it records them either as an asset or a liability measured at their fair value unless they qualify for a normal purchase or normal sale exception. When specific hedge accounting criteria are not met or if the Company does not elect to apply for hedge accounting, changes in the Company’s derivative instruments’ fair value are recognized currently in earnings. As a result of our adoption of ASU 2017-12 as of January 1, 2019, if hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument, the entire change in the fair value of our derivatives designated and qualified as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI’) on the consolidated balance sheets and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

To manage interest rate risk for certain of its variable-rate debt, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its risk management strategy. These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by providing a fixed interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had five outstanding interest rate swap contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. For presentational purposes, they are shown as one derivative due to the identical nature of their economic terms. Further detail is provided in Note 7 (Derivatives).

Income Taxes

The Trust elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal tax purposes commencing with the filing of its tax return for the short taxable year ending December 31, 2013. The Trust had no taxable income prior to electing REIT status. To qualify as a REIT, the Trust must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Trust generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its shareholders. If the Trust fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Trust relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Trust’s net income and net cash available for distribution to shareholders. However, the Trust intends to continue to operate in such a manner as to continue qualifying for treatment as a REIT. Although the Trust continues to qualify for taxation as a REIT, in various instances, the Trust is subject to state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

As discussed in Note 1 (Organization and Business), the Trust conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership. As a partnership, the Operating Partnership generally is not liable for federal income taxes. The income and loss from the operations of the Operating Partnership is included in the tax returns of its partners, including the Trust, who are responsible for reporting their allocable share of the partnership income and loss. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

20

Tenant Receivables, Net

Tenant receivables primarily represent amounts accrued and unpaid from tenants in accordance with the terms of the respective leases, subject to our revenue recognition policy. We review receivables monthly and write-off the remaining balance when, in the opinion of management, collection of substantially all remaining payments is not probable. We establish reserves for tenants whose rent payments are under dispute. When we determine substantially all remaining lease payments are not probable of collection, we recognize a reduction of our rental revenues and expense recoveries for all outstanding balances, including accrued straight-line rent receivables. Any subsequent receipts are recognized as rental revenues and expense recoveries in the period received. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in an adjustment to our opening accumulated deficit balance of $0.2 million, associated with tenant receivables where collection of substantially all operating lease payments is not probable as of January 1, 2019.

Management Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported in the period. Significant estimates are made for the fair value assessments with respect to purchase price allocations, impairment assessments, and the valuation of financial instruments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Contingent Liabilities

Certain of our acquisitions provide for additional consideration to the seller in the form of an earn-out associated with lease-up contingencies. The Company recognizes the contingent liabilities only if certain parameters or other substantive contingencies are met, at which time the consideration becomes payable.

Segment Reporting

Under the provision of Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has determined that it has one reportable segment with activities related to leasing and managing healthcare properties.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which creates a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective approach. Based on our assessment, we have identified all of our revenue streams and concluded rental income from leasing arrangements represents a substantial portion of our revenue. Income from leasing arrangements is specifically excluded from Topic 606 and was evaluated with the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases. Therefore, the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 was minimal on our current recognition and presentation of non-lease revenue.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The update amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The standard provides the option of a modified retrospective transition approach or a cumulative effect for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases, Targeted Improvements. ASU 2018-11 provides entities with a transition method option to not restate comparative periods presented, but to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In addition, ASU 2018-11 provides entities with a practical expedient allowing lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components when certain criteria are met. ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

On January 1, 2019 the Company, both as a lessor and a lessee, adopted ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 using the cumulative-effect transition method. The cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was $0.2 million. Upon adoption of the new leasing standard, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $126.7 million and $61.0 million, respectively, on its consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2019. The right-of-use asset is based upon the recognized lease liabilities, adjusted for previously recognized prepaid lease payments and

21

intangible assets and liabilities. The lease liability is measured at the present value of remaining lease payments of its operating leases for which it is the lessee, including ground, office, and equipment leases, discounted at a rate based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients applicable to the Company for transition of leases in effect at adoption. This allowed the entity to forgo reassessing (1) whether a contract contains a lease, (2) classification of leases, and (3) whether capitalized costs associated with a lease meet the definition of “initial direct costs” under ASC 842. As a lessee, this allowed the Company to continue to account for its existing ground and office space leases as operating leases, however, after January 1, 2019, any new or renewed ground leases may be classified as financing leases. Additionally, the Company adopted the comparative period practical expedient which allowed the reporting for comparative periods prior to adoption to continue to be presented in the financial statements in accordance with previous lease accounting guidance.

As a lessee, the Company adopted the short-term leases practical expedient which allowed the Company not to capitalize short-term leases within its lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient allowing lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components when certain criteria are met. The Company elected this lessor practical expedient on various underlying assets including, among other things, land and building, and recognizes, measures, presents, and discloses revenue from its lease arrangements based upon the predominate component, which is determined to be the lease component, under the new ASC 842 guidance. As a lessor, the Company will continue to show its expense recoveries separate from its rental revenues for transparency purposes. The Company has not elected the hindsight practical expedient, which would allow the use of hindsight in determining the lease term and impairment of the right-of-use assets as of the implementation date. The adoption of the ASC 842 guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which changes the impairment model for most financial instruments by requiring companies to recognize an allowance for expected losses, rather than incur losses as required currently by the other-than-temporary impairment model. ASU 2016-13 will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including certain receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures (e.g., loan commitments). ASU 2016-13 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. We are currently assessing the potential effect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which expands and refines hedge accounting for both nonfinancial 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. It also includes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of current guidance related to hedge accounting. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The cumulative effect of the ineffectiveness for the year ended December 31, 2018 was immaterial, therefore no adjustment was made to beginning retained earnings. Additionally, as a result of the adoption, we no longer separately disclose the amount of the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our derivative financial instruments. The entire change in the fair value of the of our derivatives designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI on the consolidated balance sheets and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments for nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The amendments simplify several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee transactions by stipulating that the existing accounting guidance for share-based payments to employees, accounted for under ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, will also apply to nonemployee share-based transactions, accounted for under ASC Topic 505, Equity. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on the effective date, January 1, 2019, with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement; Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 as follows: (a) disclosure removals: (i) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2; (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and (iii) the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements; (b) disclosure modifications: (i) no requirement to disclose the timing of liquidation unless the investee has communicated the timing to the reporting entity or announced the timing publicly; and (ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a narrative description of measurement uncertainty at the reporting date, not the sensitivity to future changes; and (c) disclosure additions: (i) for recurring Level 3 measurements, disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in OCI and the statement of

22

comprehensive income; and (ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements in the table of significant input, disclose the range and weighted average of the significant unobservable inputs and the way it is calculated. The Company will adopt ASU 2018-13 as of the effective date, January 1, 2020, and will consider all level inputs but it does not anticipate a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

The notes are collateralized by five properties with a net book value of $172.2 million and $174.2 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

(2) Variable interest mortgage note bears variable interest of LIBOR plus 2.75%, for an interest rate of 5.15% and 5.21% as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The note is due in 2028 and is collateralized by one property with a net book value of $8.6 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(3) The Trust’s borrowings under the term loan feature of the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate which is determined by the Trust’s credit rating, currently equal to LIBOR + 1.25%. The Trust has entered into a pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swap, fixing the LIBOR component of this rate at 1.07%.

On August 7, 2018, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust, as guarantor, executed a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement to September 18, 2022 and reduced the interest rate margin applicable to borrowings. The Credit Agreement includes unsecured revolving credit facility of $850 million and contains a term loan feature of $250 million, bringing total borrowing capacity to $1.1 billion. The Credit Agreement also includes a swingline loan commitment for up to 10% of the maximum principal amount and provides an accordion feature allowing the Trust to increase borrowing capacity by up to an additional $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity of $1.6 billion. The revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement also includes a one-year extension option.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at an adjusted LIBOR rate, which is based on the Trust’s investment grade rating under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2019, the Trust had an investment grade rating of Baa3 from Moody’s and BBB- from S&P. As such, borrowings under the revolving credit facility of the Credit Agreement accrue interest on the outstanding principal at a rate of LIBOR + 1.10%. The Credit Agreement includes a facility fee equal to 0.25% per annum, which is also determined by the Trust’s investment grade rating.

On July 7, 2016, the Operating Partnership borrowed $250.0 million under the 7-year term loan feature of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the credit agreement, borrowings under the term loan feature of the Credit Agreement bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate which is determined by the Trust’s credit rating, currently equal to LIBOR + 1.25%. The Trust simultaneously entered into a pay-fixed receive-variable rate swap for the full borrowing amount, fixing the LIBOR component of the borrowing rate to 1.07%, for a current all-in fixed rate of 2.32%. Both the borrowing and pay-fixed receive-variable swap have a maturity date of June 10, 2023.

The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that, among other things, require compliance with leverage and coverage ratios and maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, as well as covenants that may limit the Trust’s and the Operating Partnership’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, or make distributions. The Company may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any revolving or term loan under the Credit Agreement in whole or in part without premium or penalty. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties by the Trust and the Operating Partnership and imposes customary covenants on the Operating Partnership and the Trust.

Note 7. Derivatives

In the normal course of business, a variety of financial instruments are used to manage or hedge interest rate risk. The Company has implemented ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"), which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that all derivatives, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded as either an asset or a liability measured at their fair value unless they qualify for a normal purchase or normal sales exception.

When specific hedge accounting criteria are not met, ASC 815 requires that changes in a derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings. Changes in the fair market values of the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of income if such derivatives do not qualify for, or the Company does not elect to apply for, hedge accounting. As a result of our adoption of ASU 2017-12 as of January 1, 2019, the entire change in the fair value of our derivatives designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI on the consolidated balance sheets and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Additionally, as a result of the adoption ASU 2017-12, we no longer disclose the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our derivatives financial instruments designated as hedges.

To manage interest rate risk for certain of its variable-rate debt, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its risk management strategy. These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by providing a fixed interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had five outstanding interest rate swap contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. For presentational purposes, they are shown as one derivative due to the identical nature of their economic terms.

The following table summarizes the location and aggregate fair value of the interest rate swaps on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

Total notional amount		$	250,000
Effective fixed interest rate	(1)	2.32		%
Effective date		7/7/2016
Maturity date		6/10/2023
Asset balance at June 30, 2019 (included in Other assets)		$	6,045

Note 9. Stock-based Compensation

The Company follows ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in accounting for its share-based payments. This guidance requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the employee stock awards. This cost is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the employee’s requisite service period. Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized when incurred. Share-based payments classified as liability awards are marked to fair value at each reporting period. Any common shares issued pursuant to the Company's incentive equity compensation and employee stock purchase plans will result in the Operating Partnership issuing OP Units to the Trust on a one-for-one basis, with the Operating Partnership receiving the net cash proceeds of such issuances.

Certain of the Company’s employee stock awards vest only upon the achievement of performance targets. ASC 718 requires recognition of compensation cost only when achievement of performance conditions is considered probable. Consequently, the Company’s determination of the amount of stock compensation expense requires judgment in estimating the probability of achievement of these performance targets. Subsequent changes in actual experience are monitored and estimates are updated as information is available.

In connection with the IPO, the Trust adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”), which made available 600,000 common shares to be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees. On August 7, 2014, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Physicians Realty Trust, the Trust’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2013 Plan to increase the number of common shares authorized for issuance under the 2013 Plan by 1,850,000 common shares, for a total of 2,450,000 common shares authorized for issuance. On April 30, 2019, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Physicians Realty Trust, the Trust’s shareholders approved the Amended and Restated Physicians Realty Trust 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. The amendment increased the number of common shares authorized for issuance under the 2013 Plan by 4,550,000 common shares, for a total of 7,000,000 common shares authorized for issuance. The 2013 Plan term was also extended to 2029.

Restricted Common Shares

Restricted common shares granted under the 2013 Plan are eligible for dividends as well as the right to vote. In the six month period ended June 30, 2019, the Trust granted a total of 194,413 restricted common shares with a total value of $3.5 million to its officers and certain of its employees, which have a vesting period of one to three years.

A summary of the status of the Trust’s non-vested restricted common shares as of June 30, 2019 and changes during the six month period then ended follow:

	Common Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 31, 2018	225,139		$	15.29
Granted	194,413		17.80
Vested	(198,296	)	15.07
Forfeited	(323	)	15.48
Non-vested at June 30, 2019	220,933		$	17.69

For all service awards, the Company records compensation expense for the entire award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For the three month periods ending June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized non-cash share compensation of $0.8 million. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized non-cash share compensation of $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense at June 30, 2019 was $2.8 million.

Restricted Share Units

In March 2019, under the 2013 Plan, the Trust granted restricted share units at a target level of 229,884 to its officers and certain of its employees and 41,925 to its trustees, which are subject to certain performance, timing, and market conditions and three-year and two-year service periods for officers/employees and trustees, respectively. In addition, each restricted share unit contains one dividend equivalent. The recipient will accrue dividend equivalents on awarded share units equal to the cash dividend that would have been paid on the awarded share unit had the awarded share unit been an issued and outstanding common share on the record date for the dividend.

Approximately 50% of the restricted share units issued to officers and certain employees in 2019 vest based on two certain market conditions. The market conditions were valued with the assistance of independent valuation specialists. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the weighted average grant date fair values of $29.60 and $35.70 per unit for the March 2019 grant market conditions using the following assumptions:

 

Volatility	21.8		%
Dividend assumption	reinvested
Expected term in years	2.83 years
Risk-free rate	2.53		%
Share price (per share)	$	17.89

The remaining 50% of the restricted share units issued to officers and certain employees, and 100% of restricted share units issued to trustees, vest based upon certain performance or timing conditions. With respect to the performance conditions of the March 2019 grant, the grant date fair value of $17.89 per unit was based on the share price at the date of grant. The combined weighted average grant date fair value of the March 2019 restricted share units issued to officers and certain employees is $25.27 per unit.

The following is a summary of the activity in the Trust’s restricted share units during the six months ended June 30, 2019: 

	Executive Awards					Trustee Awards

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), requires certain assets and liabilities be reported and/or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements and provides a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

30

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the asset or liability. In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability. As part of the Company’s acquisition process, Level 3 inputs are used to measure the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The Company’s derivative instruments as of June 30, 2019 consist of one embedded derivative as detailed in the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Series A Preferred Units and Partially Owned Properties section of Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and five interest rate swaps. For presentational purposes, the Company’s interest rate swaps are shown as a single derivative due to the identical nature of their economic terms, as detailed in the Derivative Instruments section of Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and Note 7 (Derivatives).

Neither the embedded derivative nor the interest rate swaps are traded on an exchange. The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value based on a variety of observable inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values are based on Level 2 inputs described above. The Company considers its own credit risk, as well as the credit risk of its counterparties, when evaluating the fair value of its derivatives.

The Company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. This generally includes assets subject to impairment. There were no assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2019.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, payables, and accrued interest are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fair values for real estate loans receivable and mortgage debt are estimated based on rates currently prevailing for similar instruments of similar maturities and are based primarily on Level 2 inputs.

The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments (in thousands):

	June 30, 2019						December 31, 2018
	Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Carrying Amount			Fair Value
Assets:

Note 11. Tenant Operating Leases

The Company is a lessor of medical office buildings and other healthcare facilities. Leases have expirations from 2019 through 2039. As of June 30, 2019, the future minimum rental payments on non-cancelable leases, exclusive of expense recoveries, were as follows (in thousands):

2019	$	147,058
2020	291,091
2021	286,300
2022	275,904
2023	265,408
Thereafter	1,150,907
Total	$	2,416,668

Note 12. Rent Expense

The Company leases the rights to parking structures at three of its properties, the air space above one property, and the land upon which 79 of its properties are located from third party land owners pursuant to separate leases. In addition, the Company has 10 corporate leases, primarily for office space.

The Company’s leases include both fixed and variable rental payments and may also include escalation clauses and renewal options. These leases have terms of up to 88 years remaining, excluding extension options, with a weighted average remaining term of 44 years.

Effective, January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases which requires the operating leases mentioned above to be included in right-of-use lease assets, net on the Company’s June 30, 2019 consolidated balance sheets, which represents the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligation to make the lease payments are included in lease liabilities on the Company’s June 30, 2019 consolidated balance sheets. Based on the present value of the lease payments for the remaining lease term of the Company’s existing leases, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of approximately $126.7 million and lease liabilities for operating leases of approximately $61.0 million on January 1, 2019. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities commencing or renewing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at commencement or renewal date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As of June 30, 2019, total right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were approximately $125.8 million and $60.7 million, respectively. The Company has entered into various short-term operating leases, primarily for office spaces, with an initial term of twelve months or less. These leases are not recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses a rate based on its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The weighted average discount rate was 4.3% as of June 30, 2019. There are no operating leases that have not yet commenced that would have a significant impact on its consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2019, the future minimum lease obligations under non-cancelable parking, air, ground, and corporate leases, were as follows (in thousands):

2019	$	1,265
2020	2,953
2021	2,952
2022	2,914
2023	2,909
Thereafter	138,076
Total undiscounted lease payments	$	151,069
Less: Interest	(90,377		)
Present value of lease liabilities	$	60,692

Lease costs consisted of the following for the six months ended June 30, 2019 (in thousands):

Operating lease cost	$	928
Variable lease cost	474
Total lease cost	$	1,402

Note 13. Credit Concentration

The Company uses annualized base rent (“ABR”) as its credit concentration metric. ABR is calculated by multiplying contractual base rent for the month ended June 30, 2019 by 12, excluding the impact of concessions and straight-line rent. The following table summarizes certain information about the Company’s top five tenant credit concentrations as of June 30, 2019 (in thousands):

Tenant	Total ABR		Percent of ABR
CommonSpirit - CHI - Nebraska	$	16,683	5.7	%
CommonSpirit - CHI - KentuckyOne	13,907		4.8	%
Northside Hospital	10,253		3.5	%
Baylor Scott and White Health	7,770		2.7	%
Ascension - St. Vincent's - Indianapolis	7,384		2.5	%
Remaining portfolio	235,129		80.8	%
Total	$	291,126	100.0	%

ABR collected from the Company’s top five tenant relationships comprises 19.2% of its total ABR for the period ending June 30, 2019. Total ABR from CommonSpirit Health affiliated tenants totals 20.7%, including the affiliates disclosed above. Financial statements of CommonSpirit Health, the parent of the subsidiaries and affiliates of the entities party to master lease agreements, are publicly available on the CommonSpirit Health website (www.commonspirit.org). Information included on the CommonSpirit Health website is not incorporated by reference within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 2.                                Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes to those statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, and the Section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this report. As discussed in more detail in the Section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” this discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause those differences include those discussed in Part I, Item 1 (Business), and Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our 2018 Annual Report.

Overview

We are a self-managed healthcare real estate company organized in April 2013 to acquire, selectively develop, own, and manage healthcare properties that are leased to physicians, hospitals, and healthcare delivery systems. We invest in real estate that is integral to providing high quality healthcare services. Our properties are typically located on a campus with a hospital or other healthcare facilities or strategically affiliated with a hospital or other healthcare facilities. We believe the impact of government programs and continuing trends in the healthcare industry create attractive opportunities for us to invest in healthcare related real estate. In particular, we believe the demand for healthcare will continue to increase as a result of the aging population as older persons generally utilize healthcare services at a rate well in excess of younger people. Our management team has significant public healthcare REIT experience and has long-established relationships with physicians, hospitals, and healthcare delivery system decision makers that we believe will provide quality investment and growth opportunities. Our principal investments include medical office buildings, outpatient treatment facilities, as well as other real estate integral to healthcare providers. In recent years, we have seen increased competition for healthcare properties, and we expect this trend to continue. We seek to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders through a combination of stable and increasing dividends and potential long-term appreciation in the value of our properties and our common shares. 

We grew our portfolio of gross real estate investments from approximately $124 million at the time of our IPO in July 2013 to approximately $4.4 billion as of June 30, 2019. During the remainder of 2019, we look for a continuation of this strategy and execution with the potential for selective dispositions and investments, and a focus on operating performance. We intend to continue to be diligent in deploying capital in the market.

As of June 30, 2019, our portfolio consisted of 252 healthcare properties located in 30 states with approximately 13,641,585 net leasable square feet, which were approximately 96% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 7.5 years. As of June 30, 2019, approximately 89% of the net leasable square footage of our portfolio was either on campus with a hospital or other healthcare facility or strategically affiliated with a hospital or other healthcare facility.

We receive a cash rental stream from these healthcare providers under our leases. Approximately 93% of the annualized base rent payments from our properties as of June 30, 2019 are from triple-net leases pursuant to which the tenants are responsible for all operating expenses relating to the property, including but not limited to real estate taxes, utilities, property insurance, routine maintenance and repairs, and property management. This structure helps insulate us from increases in certain operating expenses and provides more predictable cash flow. Approximately 5% of the annualized base rent payments from our properties as of June 30, 2019 are from modified gross base stop leases which allow us to pass through certain increases in future operating expenses (e.g., property tax and insurance) to tenants for reimbursement, thus protecting us from increases in such operating expenses.

We seek to structure our triple-net leases to generate attractive returns on a long-term basis. Our leases typically have initial terms of 5 to 15 years and include annual rent escalators of approximately 1.5% to 3.0%. Our operating results depend significantly upon the ability of our tenants to make required rental payments. We believe that our portfolio of medical office buildings and other healthcare facilities will enable us to generate stable cash flows over time because of the diversity of our tenants, staggered lease expiration schedule, long-term leases, and low historical occurrence of tenants defaulting under their leases. As of June 30, 2019, leases representing 1.5%, 3.5%, and 4.5% of leased square feet will expire in 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively.

We intend to grow our portfolio of high-quality healthcare properties leased to physicians, hospitals, healthcare delivery systems and other healthcare providers primarily through acquisitions of existing healthcare facilities that provide stable revenue growth and predictable long-term cash flows. We may also selectively finance the development of new healthcare facilities through joint venture or fee arrangements with healthcare real estate developers or health system development professionals. Generally, we only expect to make investments in new development properties when approximately 80% or more of the development property has been pre-leased before construction commences. We seek to invest in properties

35

where we can develop strategic alliances with financially sound healthcare providers and healthcare delivery systems that offer need-based healthcare services in sustainable healthcare markets. We focus our investment activity on the following types of healthcare properties:

• medical office buildings;

• outpatient treatment and diagnostic facilities;

• physician group practice clinics;

• ambulatory surgery centers; and

• specialty hospitals and treatment centers.

We believe that shifting consumer preferences, limited space in hospitals, the desire of patients and healthcare providers to limit non-essential services provided in a hospital setting, and cost considerations, among other trends, continue to drive the industry trend of performing procedures in outpatient facilities that have traditionally been performed in hospitals, such as surgeries and other invasive medical procedures. As these trends continue, we believe that demand for medical office buildings and similar healthcare properties will continue to rise, and that our investment strategy accounts for these trends.

We may invest opportunistically in life science facilities, assisted living, and independent senior living facilities and in the longer term, senior housing properties, including skilled nursing. Consistent with our qualification as a REIT, we may also opportunistically invest in companies that provide healthcare services, and in joint venture entities with operating partners, structured to comply with the REIT Investment Diversification Act of 2007.

One of the factors that influences the market price of our common shares is the dividend yield on common shares (as a percentage of the price of our common shares) relative to market interest rates. In response to the global financial crisis, the U.S. Federal Reserve took actions which resulted in low interest rates prevailing in the marketplace for a historically long period of time. Since December 2015, the U.S. Federal Reserve has raised its benchmark interest rate to a range of 2.25% to 2.50% and may modify its benchmark interest rate in the future. Further increases in market interest rates may lead prospective purchasers of our common shares to expect a higher dividend yield (with a resulting decline in the market price of our common shares) and higher interest rates would likely increase our borrowing costs for both our existing and future indebtedness and potentially decrease funds available for distribution. Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of our common shares to decrease. 

The Trust is a Maryland real estate investment trust and elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We conduct our business through an UPREIT structure in which our properties are owned by our Operating Partnership directly or through limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other subsidiaries. The Trust is the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of June 30, 2019, owned approximately 97.1% of the OP Units. As of July 29, 2019, there were 185,317,099 common shares outstanding.

Key Transactions in Second Quarter 2019

Investment Activity

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company completed acquisitions of 2 operating healthcare properties located in 2 states for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $23.3 million. The Company also funded $7.0 million of loan transactions, which included funding of $5.3 million under 2 construction loans and 2 mezzanine loans with funding of $1.7 million. The Company also paid $2.5 million of additional purchase consideration on 2 properties under earn-out agreements, as well as $0.5 million under a noncontrolling interest buyout. These investment activities result in total investment activity of approximately $33.3 million. These transactions are detailed in Note 3 (Investment and Disposition Activity) to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Disposition Activity

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company sold two medical office buildings located in 2 states representing 52,943 square feet, for approximately $12.5 million. The Company recognized a net gain on the sales of approximately $3.0 million.

36

Capital Activity

On April 30, 2019, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Physicians Realty Trust, the Trust’s shareholders approved the Amended and Restated Physicians Realty Trust 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. Among other things, the amendment increased the number of common shares authorized for issuance under the 2013 Plan by 4,550,000 common shares, for a total of 7,000,000 common shares authorized for issuance. The 2013 Plan term was also extended to 2029.

Recent Developments

Quarterly Distribution

On June 21, 2019, we announced that our Board of Trustees authorized and declared a cash distribution of $0.23 per common share for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019. The distribution was paid on July 18, 2019 to common shareholders and OP Unit holders of record as of the close of business on July 3, 2019.

Investment Activity

Since June 30, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of a 97.5% interest in a 56,832 square foot medical office facility on the campus of the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Rockwall, Texas, for a purchase price of $24.0 million. The stabilized yield on this investment is 5.5%. The Company also completed the acquisition of a two building portfolio on August 2, 2019 located in Indianapolis, Indiana, with an aggregate 93,332 square feet fully leased to Community Health Network (Moody’s: ‘A2’) under a 16-year absolute net master lease, for a purchase price of $23.3 million. The stabilized yield on this investment is 6.3%.

Other Activity

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized an aggregate $9.4 million of lost cash and straight line rental revenue at the Company’s three LifeCare master-leased LTACH facilities and the Foundation El Paso Surgical Hospital.

LifeCare Holdings LLC, along with several related entities, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in order to facilitate a sale process under bankruptcy protection. The Company did not receive contractually-owed rent payments for April and May 2019, representing an aggregate $0.8 million in lost cash rent. The payment of contractual rent on the related master-lease resumed June 2019.

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company evaluated the collectability of future contractual rental payments related to the LifeCare master lease as of June 30, 2019, and determined that the collection of substantially all future rent payments did not meet the probability threshold required under the recently adopted pronouncement. Accordingly, the related straight-line rent receivable balance of $3.5 million was written off as of June 30, 2019, resulting in an aggregate reduction to rental income of $4.3 million as a result of the LifeCare bankruptcy.

In addition, the Company also determined that the collectability of substantially all past and future rent payments related to the Foundation El Paso Surgical Hospital did not meet the probability threshold required under ASC 842 as of June 30, 2019. As a result, the Company recognized the write-off of $2.1 million in past due rental payments and $3.0 million of previously recognized straight-line rent receivables, resulting in an aggregate reduction to rental income of $5.1 million.

Revenues

Total revenues decreased $12.1 million, or 11.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. An analysis of selected revenues follows.

Rental revenues. Rental revenues decreased $12.1 million, or 15.0%, from $80.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $68.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Rental revenues decreased $9.4 million due to write-offs at our three LifeCare properties and the Foundation El Paso Surgical Hospital. Rental revenues also decreased $4.4 million due to properties sold during the last twelve months. This was partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in rental revenue associated with property acquisitions during the last twelve months.

Expense recoveries. Expense recoveries decreased $0.1 million, or 0.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. Expense recoveries decreased $1.4 million due to the properties sold during the last twelve months. This was partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million from our existing portfolio of properties owned since June 30, 2018, and an additional $0.6 million from properties purchased in the last twelve months.

Interest income on real estate loans and other. Interest income on real estate loans and other increased $0.1 million, or 5.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. This is the result of additional interest income of $0.4 million due to an increase in the Company’s outstanding real estate loans receivable. This was partially offset by a decrease in other income of $0.2 million, and a decrease of $0.1 million in tenant improvement buildouts in excess of allowances given.

Expenses

Total expenses decreased $1.7 million, or 1.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. An analysis of selected expenses follows.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $16.1 million compared to $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, representing a decrease of $1.1 million, or 6.4%. Interest expense from

mortgage debt decreased by $0.6 million due to mortgage payoffs, and lower outstanding borrowings on our credit facility further decreased interest expense by $0.5 million.

 General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million or 8.1%, from $7.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $7.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. General and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million due to increased legal fees, and an additional $0.1 million due to increased travel expenses.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $0.3 million or 1.0%, from $30.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $30.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Operating expenses increased $1.5 million from our existing portfolio of properties owned since June 30, 2018, and an additional $0.7 million increase from properties purchased in the last twelve months. This was offset by a $1.9 million decrease in operating expenses from the properties sold during the last twelve months.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.4 million, or 3.8%, from $37.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $36.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Depreciation and amortization decreased $2.1 million due to properties we sold during the last twelve months, which was offset by a $0.8 million increase due to properties purchased in the last twelve months.

Equity in income of unconsolidated entities. The change in equity in income from unconsolidated entities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 is not significant.

Gain (loss) on sale of investment properties, net. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold two properties with 52,943 net leasable square feet located in Florida and Washington for approximately $12.5 million realizing a net gain of $3.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we sold 15 properties with 560,234 net leasable square feet located in three states for approximately $90.7 million realizing a net loss of $2.6 million.

Six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Revenues

Total revenues decreased $11.9 million, or 5.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. An analysis of selected revenues follows.

Rental revenues. Rental revenues decreased $13.9 million, or 8.7%, from $159.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $145.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in rental revenues primarily resulted from write-offs at our three LifeCare properties and the Foundation El Paso Surgical Hospital totaling $9.4 million. Rental revenue also had a net decrease of $5.2 million due to the properties we sold and acquired during the last twelve months. This was partially offset by an additional $1.1 million from our existing portfolio of properties owned since June 30, 2018.

Expense recoveries. Expense recoveries increased $1.6 million, or 3.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in expense recoveries primarily resulted from our 2018 acquisitions which resulted in additional expense recoveries of $1.6 million. An increase of $2.4 million in our existing portfolio was offset by a decrease of the same amount from properties sold in the last twelve months.

Interest income on real estate loans and other. Interest income on real estate loans and other increased $0.3 million, or 7.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is the result of additional interest income of $0.6 million due to an increase in the Company’s outstanding real estate loan receivable. This was partially offset by a decrease in other income of $0.2 million, and a decrease of $0.1 million in tenant improvement buildouts in excess of allowances given.

Expenses

Total expenses decreased by $1.8 million, or 0.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. An analysis of selected expenses follows.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $32.3 million compared to $33.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, representing a decrease of $1.3 million, or 3.9%. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to mortgage payoffs for a decrease of $1.4 million.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million or 7.0%, from $15.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $16.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase is mainly attributable to increased salaries and benefits of $1.0 million.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $2.0 million or 3.4%, from $60.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $62.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase is due to our existing portfolio of properties owned since June 30, 2018 totaling $4.1 million, and an additional increase of $1.4 million associated with property acquisitions during the last twelve months. This was offset by a decrease of $3.5 million associated with our sold properties during 2018 and 2019.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $3.6 million, or 4.7%, from $76.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $72.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in depreciation and amortization of $3.2 million associated with our sold properties, along with a $1.9 million reduction from our existing properties. This was partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million from properties acquired in the last twelve months.

Equity in income of unconsolidated entities. The change in equity in income from unconsolidated entities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 is not significant.

Gain (loss) on sale of investment properties, net. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 we sold two properties with 52,943 net leasable square feet located in Florida and Washington for approximately $12.5 million, realizing a net gain of $3.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we sold 17 properties with 589,967 net leasable square feet located in four states for approximately $93.2 million, realizing a net loss of $2.6 million.

Cash Flows

Six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

	2019			2018
Cash provided by operating activities	$	96,214		$	102,313
Cash used in investing activities	(61,667		)	(99,339		)
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(46,825		)	3,525
(Decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(12,278	)	$	6,499

Cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities was $96.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $102.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, representing a decrease of $6.1 million. The decrease in operating activities is primarily due to a net decrease of $4.1 million from the properties we sold and purchased during the last twelve months and a decrease of $2.2 million of rent collected at our three LifeCare properties and Foundation El Paso Surgical Hospital.

Cash flows from investing activities. Cash flows used in investing activities was $61.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $99.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, representing a change of $37.7 million. The decrease in cash flows used in investing activities was primarily attributable to the $134.3 million reduction in acquisition activity over the prior period. This was partially offset by an increase of $81.2 million related to proceeds from the sale of investment properties, and an increase of $25.1 million associated with increased funding of real estate loans.

Cash flows from financing activities. Cash flows used in financing activities was $46.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, representing a change of $50.4 million. The change in activity is primarily attributable to $130.0 million of additional net borrowings under the credit facility in 2018 compared to 2019. This was partially offset by $43.4 million of additional net proceeds from the sale of common shares pursuant to the ATM Program, and $37.5 million of lower payments on mortgage debt in 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report includes Funds From Operations (FFO), Normalized FFO, Normalized Funds Available For Distribution (FAD), Net Operating Income (NOI), Cash NOI, MOB Same-Store Cash NOI, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (EBITDAre) and Adjusted EBITDAre, which are non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the company, or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable financial measure so calculated and presented. As used in this report, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Pursuant to the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, we have provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

41

FFO and Normalized FFO

We believe that information regarding FFO is helpful to shareholders and potential investors because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) before noncontrolling interests of holders of OP units, excluding preferred distributions, gains (or losses) on sales of depreciable operating property, impairment write-downs on depreciable assets, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs). Our FFO computation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with NAREIT definition or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. The GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, net income, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales, impairments, and noncontrolling interests. In computing FFO, we eliminate these items because, in our view, they are not indicative of the results from the operations of our properties. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as presented in our financial statements. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered to be an alternative to net income or loss (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

We use Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments, acceleration of deferred financing costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and other normalizing items. However, our use of the term Normalized FFO may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. Normalized FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our financial performance or of cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP), or as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Normalized FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

Normalized Funds Available for Distribution (FAD)

We define Normalized FAD, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes from Normalized FFO non-cash share compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired above- or below-market leases and assumed debt, amortization of lease inducements, amortization of deferred financing costs, and recurring capital expenditures related to tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and includes cash payments from seller master leases and rent abatement payments. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating Normalized FAD, and accordingly, our computation may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. Although our computation of Normalized FAD may not be comparable to that of other REITs, we believe Normalized FAD provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our performance due to its frequency of use by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. Normalized FAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss attributable to controlling interest (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of our financial performance. Normalized FAD should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

Net Operating Income (NOI), Cash NOI, and MOB Same-Store Cash NOI

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income or loss, computed in accordance with GAAP, generated from our total portfolio of properties before general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, gain or loss on the sale of investment properties, and impairment losses. We believe that NOI provides an accurate measure of operating performance of our operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with management of the properties. Our use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount.

Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from NOI straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired above and below market leases, and other non-cash and normalizing items. Other non-cash and normalizing items include items such as the amortization of lease inducements, payments received from seller master leases and rent abatements, and changes in fair value of contingent consideration. We believe that Cash NOI provides an accurate measure of the operating performance of our operating assets because it excludes certain items that are not associated with management of the properties. Additionally, we believe that Cash NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate community. Our use of the term Cash NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as such other companies may have different methodologies for computing this amount.

MOB Same-Store Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from Cash NOI assets not held for the entire preceding five quarters, non-MOB assets, and other normalizing items not specifically related to the same-store property portfolio. Management considers MOB Same-Store Cash NOI a supplemental measure because it allows investors, analysts, and Company management to measure unlevered property-level operating results. Our use of the term MOB Same-Store Cash NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as such other companies may have different methodologies for computing this amount.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (EBITDAre) and Adjusted EBITDAre

We define EBITDAre as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, loss (gain) on dispositions, and impairment loss. We define Adjusted EBITDAre as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, loss (gain) on dispositions, impairment loss, non-cash share compensation expense, non-cash changes in fair value, and other normalizing items. We consider EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre important measures because they provide additional information to allow management, investors, and our current and potential creditors to evaluate and compare our core operating results and our ability to service debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of operating and interest expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, including:

• property expenses;

• interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness;

• general and administrative expenses; and

• capital expenditures for tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

In addition, we will require funds for future distributions expected to be paid to our common shareholders and OP Unit holders in our Operating Partnership.

As of June 30, 2019, we had a total of $6.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $622.5 million of near-term availability on our unsecured revolving credit facility. Our primary sources of cash include rent we collect from our tenants, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, and financings of debt and equity securities. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operating activities, and borrowings available under our unsecured revolving credit facility will be adequate to fund any existing contractual obligations to purchase properties and other obligations through the next year. However, because of the 90% distribution requirement under the REIT tax rules under the Code, we may not be able to fund all of our future capital needs from cash retained from operations, including capital needed to make investments and to satisfy or refinance maturing obligations. As a result, we expect to rely upon external sources of capital, including debt and equity financing, to fund future capital needs. If we are unable to obtain needed capital on satisfactory terms or at all, we may not be able to make the investments needed to expand our business or to meet our obligations and commitments as they mature. We will rely upon external sources of capital to fund future capital needs, and, if we encounter difficulty in obtaining such capital, we may not be able to make future acquisitions necessary to grow our business or meet maturing obligations.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures, and scheduled debt maturities. We expect to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, unsecured borrowings, issuances of equity and debt securities, and, in connection with acquisitions of additional properties, the issuance of OP Units of our Operating Partnership, and proceeds from select property dispositions and joint venture transactions.

Our ability to access capital in a timely and cost-effective manner is essential to the success of our business strategy as it affects our ability to satisfy existing obligations, including repayment of maturing indebtedness, and to make future investments and acquisitions. Factors such as general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our debt and equity securities, expectations of our potential future earnings and cash distributions, and the market price of our common shares, each of which are beyond our control and vary or fluctuate over time, all impact our access to and cost of capital. In particular, to the extent interest rates continue to rise, we may experience a decline in the trading price of our common shares, which may impact our decision to conduct equity offerings for capital raising purposes. We would likely also experience higher borrowing costs if interest rates rise, which may also impact our decisions to incur additional indebtedness, or to engage in transactions for which we may need to fund through borrowing. We expect to continue to utilize equity and debt financings to support our future growth and investment activity.

We also continuously evaluate opportunities to finance future investments. New investments are generally funded from temporary borrowings under our primary unsecured credit facility and the proceeds from financing transactions such as those discussed above. Our investments generate cash from net operating income and principal payments on loans receivable. Permanent financing for future investments, which generally replaces funds drawn under our primary unsecured credit facility, has historically been provided through a combination of the issuance of debt and equity securities and the incurrence or assumption of secured debt.

We intend to invest in additional properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of financing are available. We are currently evaluating additional potential investments consistent with the normal course of our business. There can be no assurance as to whether or when any portion of these investments will be completed. Our ability to complete investments is subject to a number of risks and variables, including our ability to negotiate mutually agreeable terms with sellers and our ability to finance the investment. We may not be successful in identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions or investment opportunities, which may impede our growth and negatively affect our results of operations and may result in the use of a significant amount of management’s resources. We expect that future investments in properties will depend on and will be financed by, in whole or in part, our existing cash, borrowings, including under our unsecured revolving credit facility, or the proceeds from additional issuances of equity or debt securities.

We currently do not expect to sell any of our properties to meet our liquidity needs, although we may do so in the future. 

We currently are in compliance with all debt covenants on our outstanding indebtedness.

Credit Facility

On August 7, 2018, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust, as guarantor, executed a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement to September 18, 2022 and reduced the interest rate margin applicable to borrowings. The Credit Agreement includes an unsecured revolving credit facility of $850 million and contains a 7-year term loan feature of $250 million, bringing total borrowing capacity to $1.1 billion. The Credit Agreement also includes a swingline loan commitment for up to 10% of the maximum principal amount and provides an accordion feature allowing the Trust to increase borrowing capacity by up to an additional $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity of $1.6 billion. The revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement also includes a one-year extension option.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $219.0 million of borrowings outstanding under its unsecured revolving credit facility, and $250.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the term loan feature of the Credit Agreement. The Company also has a letter of credit for $8.5 million with no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2019. As defined by the Credit Agreement, $622.5 million is available to borrow without adding additional properties to the unencumbered borrowing base of assets. See Note 6 (Debt) to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of our credit facility.

Senior Notes

As of June 30, 2019, we had $975.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes issued and outstanding by the Operating Partnership, comprised of $15.0 million maturing in 2023, $25.0 million maturing in 2025, $70.0 million maturing in 2026, $425.0 million maturing in 2027, $395.0 million maturing in 2028, and $45.0 million maturing in 2031. See Note 6 (Debt) to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of our senior notes.

ATM Program

In August 2016, the Company entered into separate Sales Agreements to which the Trust may issue and sell, from time to time, its common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million. In accordance with the Sales Agreements, the Trust may offer and sell its common shares through any of the Agents, from time to time, by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which includes sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or other existing trading market, or sales made to or through a market maker.

	Common shares sold	Weighted average price		Net proceeds
Quarterly period ended March 31, 2019	1,681,928	$	18.61	$	30,986
Quarterly period ended June 30, 2019	971,000	18.66		17,935
Year to date	2,652,928	$	18.63	$	48,921

As of June 30, 2019, the Trust has $114.3 million remaining available under the ATM Program.

Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan

In December 2014, we adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan. Under the DRIP:

• existing shareholders may purchase additional common shares by reinvesting all or a portion of the dividends paid on their common shares and by making optional cash payments of not less than $50 and up to a maximum of $10,000 per month;

• new investors may join the DRIP by making an initial investment of not less than $1,000 and up to a maximum of $10,000; and

• once enrolled in the DRIP, participants may authorize electronic deductions from their bank account for optional cash payments to purchase additional shares.

The DRIP is administered by our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. Our common shares sold under the DRIP are newly issued or purchased in the open market, as further described in the DRIP. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had issued 90,806 common shares under the DRIP since its inception.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report are prepared in conformity with GAAP for interim financial information set forth in the ASC, as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We base these estimates on our experience and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, if our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, we may have applied a different accounting treatment, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. We periodically reevaluate our estimates and assumptions, and in the event they prove to be different from actual results, we make adjustments in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Commission on February 28, 2019, for further information regarding the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

REIT Qualification Requirements

We are subject to a number of operational and organizational requirements necessary to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT or fail to remain qualified as a REIT in any taxable year, our income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates and potentially increased state and local taxes and could incur substantial tax liabilities which could have an adverse impact upon our results of operations, liquidity, and distributions to our shareholders.

48

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019, we have no off-balance sheet debt.

Item 3.                                Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our future income, cash flows, and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We use certain derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other factors. Our derivative instruments consist of one embedded derivative, which is recognized as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and is measured at fair value, and five interest rate swaps. See Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and Note 7 (Derivatives) to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 to this report for further detail on our interest rate swaps.

Interest rate risk amounts are our management’s estimates and were determined by considering the effect of hypothetical interest rates on our consolidated financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

Fixed Interest Rate Debt

As of June 30, 2019, our consolidated fixed interest rate debt totaled $1.1 billion, which represented 69.2% of our total consolidated debt, excluding the impact of interest rate swaps. On July 7, 2016, we entered into a pay-fixed receive-variable rate swap for the full $250.0 million borrowing amount of our term loan borrowings, fixing the LIBOR component of the borrowing rate to 1.07%, for an all-in fixed rate as of June 30, 2019 of 2.32%. Both the borrowing and pay-fixed receive-variable swap have a maturity date of June 10, 2023.

Assuming the effects of the interest rate swap agreement we entered into on July 7, 2016 relating to our unsecured debt, our fixed interest rate debt would represent 85.4% of our total consolidated debt. Interest rate fluctuations on our fixed interest rate debt will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes could affect the fair value of our fixed interest rate debt.

As of June 30, 2019, the fair value and the carrying value of our consolidated fixed interest rate debt were both approximately $1.1 billion. The fair value estimate of our fixed interest rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated on June 30, 2019. As we expect to hold our fixed interest rate debt instruments to maturity, based on the underlying structure of the debt instrument, and the amounts due under such instruments are limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that market fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed interest rate debt instruments, would have a significant impact on our operating cash flows.

Variable Interest Rate Debt

As of June 30, 2019, our consolidated variable interest rate debt totaled $475.7 million, which represented 30.8% of our total consolidated debt. Assuming the effects of the interest rate swap agreement we entered into on July 7, 2016 relating to our unsecured debt, our variable interest rate debt would represent 14.6% of our total consolidated debt. Interest rate changes on our variable rate debt could impact our future earnings and cash flows but would not significantly affect the fair value of such debt. As of June 30, 2019, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $225.7 million of consolidated borrowings. Assuming no increase in the amount of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR were to change by 100 basis points, interest expense on our variable rate debt as of June 30, 2019 would change by approximately $2.3 million annually.

49

Derivative Instruments

As of June 30, 2019, we had five outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, with a total notional amount of $250.0 million. See Note 7 (Derivatives) within our consolidated financial statements for further detail on our interest rate swaps. We are exposed to credit risk of the counterparty to our interest rate swap agreements in the event of non-performance under the terms of the agreements. If we were not able to replace these swaps in the event of non-performance by the counterparty, we would be subject to variability of the interest rate on the amount outstanding under our debt that is fixed through the use of the swaps.

Indebtedness

As of June 30, 2019, we had total consolidated indebtedness of approximately $1.5 billion. The weighted average interest rate on our consolidated indebtedness was 3.81% (based on the 30-day LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2019, of 2.40%). As of June 30, 2019, we had approximately $225.7 million, or approximately 14.6%, of our outstanding long-term debt exposed to fluctuations in short-term interest rates. See Note 6 (Debt) to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 to this report for a summary of our indebtedness as of June 30, 2019.

Item 4.                                Controls and Procedures

Physicians Realty Trust

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Trust’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Trust’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2019, the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information it is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Trust’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Trust’s system of internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Item 2.                       Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On January 24, 2019, the Trust, through a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, entered into a contribution agreement with Pasadena Ambulatory Center, LP, to acquire a property located in Pasadena, Texas (the "Pasadena Property"). The transaction closed on April 4, 2019, at which time, the Operating Partnership issued 346,989 units in the Operating Partnership as partial consideration for the acquisition.

On June 19, 2019, the Operating Partnership issued 8,529 Series A Preferred Units with an aggregate value of $1.9 million in connection with an earn-out payment relating to the Hazelwood Medical Commons Transaction.

The OP Units and the Series A Preferred Units are redeemable at the option of the holder which redemption obligation may be satisfied, at the Trust’s option, in cash or registered common shares. The investors in the OP Units and the Series A Preferred Units have agreed not to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their OP Units and the Series A Preferred Units prior to one year from the issuance date.

The OP Units and the Series A Preferred Units were issued in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of the SEC’s Regulation D thereunder. The issuance did not involve a public offering and was made without general solicitation or advertising.

From time to time the Operating Partnership issues OP Units to the Trust, as required by the Partnership Agreement, to reflect additional issuances of common shares by the Trust and to preserve equitable ownership ratios.
