“We are proud to highlight that 2022 was a year marked by Company accomplishments led by enhanced corporate board governance, rigorous balance sheet management, and meaningful, strategic portfolio growth,” stated Michael Seton, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Though 2022 proved to be a year of uncertainties in respect of the overall economic landscape, evidenced by continued inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, geo-political uncertainties and broad labor shortages affecting many industries, we were pleased to have the opportunity to add to our institutional quality portfolio of healthcare properties through skillful and thoughtful investing. Our quarter over quarter and year over year same store cash NOI growth demonstrates the durability and increasing nature of our property income streams. The year over year decreases in FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are the result of the Company’s ownership of a smaller portfolio of properties after selling the data center portfolio in 2021.

“As we have begun 2023, we will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving macroeconomic landscape while strategically seeking out high quality and accretive assets that fit within our stringent underwriting and capital allocation strategy. The Company’s balance sheet remains strong with substantial available liquidity, and a conservative leverage and dividend pay-out profile. Our desire to pursue a public listing on a national exchange in the future remains squarely in our focus, conditioned upon financial market opportunity.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds From Operations (FFO)

FFO is calculated consistent with NAREIT's definition, as net (loss) income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets and impairments of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company does, making comparisons less meaningful.

Core FFO

Core FFO is a supplemental financial performance measure the Company believes provides investors with additional information to understand the Company's sustainable performance. The Company calculates Core FFO by adjusting FFO to remove the effect of items that are not expected to impact its operating performance on an ongoing basis or effect comparability to prior periods. These include severance arrangements, write offs of previously recorded straight line rents, amortization of above- and below-market leases (including ground leases) and loss on extinguishment of debt. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Core FFO and, accordingly, the Company’s Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

AFFO

AFFO is a supplemental financial performance measure the Company believes provides investors appropriate supplemental information to evaluate the ongoing operations of the Company. AFFO is a metric used by management to evaluate the Company's dividend policy. The Company calculates AFFO by further adjusting Core FFO for the following items included in the determination of GAAP net income: deferred rent, current period straight-line rent, discount amortization related to the deferred liability in connection with the internalization transaction, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, the Company’s AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate than the GAAP methodology in calculating net (loss) income or in its applicability in evaluating the Company's operational performance. The method used to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be considered as a more relevant measure of operating performance and considered more prominent than the non-GAAP FFO, Core FFO and AFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO, Core FFO and AFFO.

NOI

The Company defines net operating income, or NOI, as total revenues, less property-level operating expenses on an accrual basis.

Same Store Properties

In order to evaluate the overall portfolio, management analyzes the net operating income of same store properties. The Company defines "same store properties" as operating properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar periods being compared and excludes properties under development, re-development, or classified as held for sale. By evaluating same store properties, management is able to monitor the operations of the Company's existing properties for comparable periods to measure the performance of the current portfolio and readily observe the expected effects of new acquisitions and dispositions on net (loss) income. The number of same store properties was 120 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and was 118 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Cash NOI

The Company defines Cash NOI as NOI for its properties, excluding the impact of GAAP adjustments to rental revenue and rental expense, consisting of straight-line rental income, net of write-offs, amortization of lease related intangibles and ground leases, and intercompany property management fees, then including deferred rent received in cash.
