Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report.
OVERVIEW
We are a REIT that is organized under Maryland law and which owns medical office and life science properties, senior living communities and other healthcare related properties throughout the United States. As of September 30, 2022, we wholly owned 379 properties, including eight closed senior living communities, located in 36 states and Washington, D.C. At September 30, 2022, the gross book value of our real estate assets at cost plus certain acquisition costs, before depreciation and purchase price allocations and less impairment write downs, was $7.0 billion.
As of September 30, 2022, we owned an equity interest in each of the Seaport JV and the LSMD JV that own medical office and life science properties located in five states with an aggregate of approximately 2.2 million rentable square feet that was 98% leased with an average (by annualized rental income) remaining lease term of 6.2 years.
We are closely monitoring the impacts of the current economic and market conditions on all aspects of our business, including, but not limited to, labor availability, high inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical risks and possible economic recession. We expect to continue to have elevated labor, utility and food costs on a per resident basis with respect to our SHOP segment.
In response to inflationary pressures, the U.S. Federal Reserve increased the federal funds rate by 300 basis points over five consecutive meetings from March 2022 to September 2022 and has signaled that further significant increases are likely to occur. These inflationary pressures and rising interest rates in the United States and globally have given rise to increasing concerns that the U.S. economy is now in, or may soon enter, an economic recession and they have caused disruptions in the financial markets. An economic recession, or continued or intensified disruptions in the financial markets could adversely affect our financial condition and that of our managers, operators and tenants, could adversely impact the ability of our managers, operators, tenants or residents to pay the contractual amounts of returns, rents or other obligations due to us, could impair our ability to effectively deploy our capital or realize upon investments on favorable terms, may restrict our access to, and would likely increase our cost of capital, and may cause the values of our properties and of our securities to decline.
We believe that we are well positioned to weather the present disruptions facing the real estate industry and, in particular, the real estate healthcare industry, including senior living. However, it is unclear whether COVID-19 infection rates will surge again in the future or if other variants of that virus or other public health events will arise in the United States or elsewhere and, if so, what the impact of that would be on human health and safety, the economy, or our managers', operators' and tenants' businesses. It is also uncertain what the impact of changing market and economic conditions would be on our and our managers', operators' and tenants' businesses. As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to determine what the ultimate impacts will be on our, our managers', operators', our tenants' and other stakeholders' businesses, operations, financial results and financial position. For further information and risks relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic uncertainty, and their impact on our business and financial condition, see Part I, Item 1, "Business" and Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report.

(3) We calculate our NOI on a consolidated basis and by reportable segment. Our definition of NOI and our reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI are included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
(4) Our medical office and life science property leases include some triple net leases where, in addition to paying fixed rents, the tenants assume the obligation to operate and maintain the properties at their expense, and some net and modified gross leases where we are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the properties and we charge tenants for some or all of the property operating costs. A small percentage of our medical office and life science property leases are full-service leases where we receive fixed rent from our tenants and no reimbursement for our property operating costs.
(5) Medical office and life science property occupancy data is as of September 30, 2022 and 2021 and includes (i) out of service assets undergoing redevelopment, (ii) space which is leased but is not occupied or is being offered for sublease by tenants and (iii) space being fitted out for occupancy.
(6) Excludes data for periods prior to our ownership of certain properties, data for properties sold or classified as held for sale, if any, and data for which there was a transfer of operations during the periods presented.
(7) Operating data for triple net leased senior living communities leased to third party operators is presented based upon the operating results provided by our tenants for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, or the most recent prior period for which tenant operating results are made available to us. We have not independently verified tenant operating data.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we entered into new and renewal leases at our medical office and life science properties in our Office Portfolio segment as summarized in the following tables (dollars and square feet in thousands, except per square foot amounts):

(1) Annualized rental income is based on rents pursuant to existing leases as of September 30, 2022, including straight line rent adjustments and estimated recurring expense reimbursements for certain net and modified gross leases and excluding lease value amortization at certain of our medical office and life science properties.
Lease expiration data for our triple net leased senior living communities and wellness centers that are leased to third party operators has not been provided because there were no changes to the lease expiration schedules from those reported in our Annual Report, except that in October 2022, we and a private operator agreed to terminate lease agreements for three of our senior living communities originally scheduled to expire in 2024 and 2030 and replace them with management agreements under our TRS structure.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollars and square feet in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
We operate in, and report financial information for, the following two segments: Office Portfolio and SHOP. We aggregate each of these two reporting segments based on their similar operating and economic characteristics. Our Office Portfolio segment consists of medical office properties leased to medical providers and other medical related businesses, as well as life science properties leased to biotech laboratories and other similar tenants. Our SHOP segment consists of managed senior living communities that provide short term and long term residential living and, in some instances, care and other services for residents where we pay fees to managers to operate the communities.
We also report “non-segment” operations, consisting of triple net leased senior living communities and wellness centers that are leased to third party operators from which we receive rents, which we do not consider to be sufficiently material to constitute a separate reporting segment, and any other income or expenses that are not attributable to a specific reporting segment.
The following table summarizes the results of operations of each of our segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Rental income. Rental income decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of 11 medical office and life science properties currently owned by two unconsolidated joint ventures in each of which we own an equity interest and properties being taken out of service and/or currently undergoing redevelopment, partially offset by our acquisition of one property since July 1, 2021 and an increase in rental income at our comparable properties and at our recently redeveloped properties. Rental income increased at our comparable properties primarily due to higher average rents resulting from our new and renewal leasing activity and increases in property operating expense reimbursements at certain of our comparable properties, partially offset by decreases in occupancy at certain of our comparable properties.
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses consist of real estate taxes, utility expenses, insurance, management fees, salaries and benefit costs of property level personnel, repairs and maintenance expense, cleaning expense and other direct costs of operating these properties. The decrease in property operating expenses is primarily due to the deconsolidation of 11 medical office and life science properties currently owned by two unconsolidated joint ventures in each of which we own an equity interest and properties being taken out of service and/or currently undergoing redevelopment, partially offset by our acquisition of one property since July 1, 2021 and an increase in property operating expenses at our comparable properties and at our recently redeveloped properties. Property operating expenses at our comparable properties increased primarily due to increases in utility expenses and other direct costs at certain of our comparable properties. The increase in utility expenses for our comparable properties is primarily due to higher energy rates and increased building utilization levels at certain of our properties.
Net operating income. The change in NOI reflects the net changes in rental income and property operating expenses described above.

Residents fees and services. Residents fees and services are the revenues earned at our managed senior living communities. We recognize these revenues as services are provided and related fees are accrued. Residents fees and services increased primarily due to increases in occupancy and average monthly rate at both comparable and non-comparable properties, partially offset by our closure of one property since July 1, 2021.
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses consist of wages and benefit costs of property level personnel, real estate taxes, utility expenses, insurance, repairs and maintenance expense, management fees, cleaning expense and other direct costs
27
of operating these communities. Property operating expenses increased primarily due to increases in labor costs, insurance deductibles and other costs associated with Hurricane Ian's damage at certain of our managed senior living communities in Florida, inflationary cost pressures related to food and energy and increased sales and marketing costs to improve occupancy. These increases were partially offset by our closure of one property since July 1, 2021.

(1) Consists of properties that we have owned and which have been leased to the same operator continuously since July 1, 2021; excludes properties classified as held for sale, if any.
Rental income. Rental income decreased primarily due to a decrease in rental income at our comparable properties, partially offset by an increase in rental income as a result of our purchase of improvements at our comparable properties since July 1, 2021. Rental income decreased at our comparable properties primarily due to lower cash rents received during the three months ended September 30, 2022 from a tenant in default under leases for six of our wellness centers. We have elected to recognize rental income as rent payments are received and we continue to evaluate our options with respect to this tenant default. In October 2022, we and one of our private operators agreed to terminate lease agreements for three of our senior living communities and replace them with management agreements under our TRS structure. The same private operator will continue to operate these properties.
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses consist of real estate taxes and other expenses we paid on behalf of a tenant in default under leases for six of our wellness centers. Since this tenant is currently in default under leases for six of our wellness centers, we expect to continue to incur real estate taxes and other direct costs of operating these properties.
Net operating income. The change in NOI reflects the net changes in rental income and property operating expenses described above.
28
Consolidated :
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of 11 medical office and life science properties owned by two unconsolidated joint ventures in each of which we own an equity interest and certain depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since July 1, 2021. Decreases to depreciation and amortization expense were partially offset by the purchase of capital improvements at certain of our properties and our acquisition of one property since July 1, 2021.
General and administrative expense . General and administrative expense consists of fees paid to RMR under our business management agreement, legal and accounting fees, fees and expenses of our Trustees, equity compensation expense and other costs relating to our status as a publicly traded company. General and administrative expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in our base business management fees expense as a result of lower consolidated indebtedness and lower trading prices for our common shares during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Acquisition and certain other transaction related costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, acquisition and certain other transaction related costs primarily represent costs related to the transition of certain senior living communities to other third party managers.
(Loss) gain on sale of properties. (Loss) gain on sale of properties is the net result of our sale of certain of our properties and joint venture equity interests during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The loss on sale of properties during the three months ended September 30, 2022 reflects final proration adjustments related to the sale of 10 medical office and life science properties to the LSMD JV in which we retained a 20% equity interest. For further information regarding (loss) gain on sale of properties, see Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of our Annual Report.
Losses on equity securities, net. Losses on equity securities, net, represent the net unrealized losses to adjust our investment in AlerisLife to its fair value. For further information regarding our investment in AlerisLife, see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Interest and other income. The increase in interest and other income is primarily due to higher interest earned during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of higher interest rates compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Increases to interest and other income were partially offset by $125 of funds we received from the U.S. government pursuant to the CARES Act during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $786 received during the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of the debt secured by one life science property owned by the Seaport JV and due to our redemption in June 2022 of $500,000 of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in interest rates under our revolving credit facility during the 2022 period.
Income tax expense . Income tax expense is the result of operating income we earned in certain jurisdictions where we are subject to state income taxes.
Equity in earnings of investees. Equity in earnings of investees is the change in the fair value of our investments in our joint ventures.

Rental income. Rental income decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of 11 medical office and life science properties currently owned by two unconsolidated joint ventures in each of which we own an equity interest, our disposition of five properties since January 1, 2021 and properties being taken out of service and/or currently undergoing redevelopment, partially offset by our acquisition of one property since January 1, 2021 and an increase in rental income at our comparable properties and at our recently redeveloped properties. Rental income increased at our comparable properties primarily due to higher average rents resulting from our new and renewal leasing activity, increased parking revenue at certain of our comparable properties as certain states and municipalities have eased restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic since January 1, 2021, tenants' employees have increasingly returned to the office and commercial activity has increased and increases in property operating expense reimbursements at certain of our comparable properties, partially offset by decreases in occupancy at certain of our comparable properties.
Property operating expenses.

Property operating expenses at our comparable properties increased primarily due to increases in utility expenses and other direct costs at certain of our comparable properties. The increase in utility expenses for our comparable properties is primarily due to higher energy rates and increased building utilization levels at certain of our properties.

Rental income. There were no meaningful changes to rental income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the 2021 period.
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses consist of real estate taxes and other expenses we paid on behalf of a tenant in default under leases for six of our wellness centers. Since this tenant is currently in default under leases for six of our wellness centers, we expect to continue to incur real estate taxes and other direct costs of operating these properties.
Net operating income. The change in NOI reflects the net changes in rental income and property operating expenses described above.
Consolidated :
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of 11 medical office and life science properties owned by two unconsolidated joint ventures in each of which we own an equity interest, our disposition of five properties and certain depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 2021. Decreases to depreciation and amortization expense were partially offset by the purchase of capital improvements at certain of our properties and our acquisition of one property since January 1, 2021.
General and administrative expense . General and administrative expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in our base business management fees expense as a result of lower trading prices for our common shares and lower consolidated indebtedness during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Acquisition and certain other transaction related costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, acquisition and certain other transaction related costs primarily represent costs related to the transition of certain senior living communities to other third party managers.
Impairment of assets. For information about our asset impairment charges, see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of our Annual Report.
Gain on sale of properties. Gain on sale of properties is the net result of our sale of certain of our properties and joint venture equity interests during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The gain on sale of properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflects our sale of 10 medical office and the LSMD JV in which we retained a 20% equity interest and our sale of a 10% equity interest in the Seaport JV. For further information regarding gain on sale of properties, see Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of our Annual Report.
Losses on equity securities, net. Losses on equity securities, net, represent the net unrealized losses to adjust our investment in AlerisLife to its fair value. For further information regarding our investment in AlerisLife, see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Interest and other income. The decrease in interest and other income is primarily due to $1,084 of funds we received from the U.S. government pursuant to the CARES Act during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $18,967 received during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Decreases to interest and other income were partially offset by higher interest earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of higher interest rates compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
33
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of the debt secured by one life science property owned by the Seaport JV and due to our prepayment in February 2021 of our $200,000 term loan, our redemption in June 2021 of all $300,000 of our 6.75% senior notes due 2021 and our redemption in June 2022 of $500,000 of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in average borrowings under our revolving credit facility, our issuance in February 2021 of $500,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 and an increase in interest rates under our revolving credit facility during the 2022 period.
Loss on modification or early extinguishment of debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a loss on modification or early extinguishment of debt in connection with the amendment to our credit agreement and our redemption of $500,000 of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025, partially offset by a gain on early extinguishment of debt in connection with our prepayment of a mortgage note. We also recorded a loss in connection with the amendments to our credit agreement and the agreement governing our previously existing $200,000 term loan, our prepayment of our $200,000 term loan and our redemption of all $300,000 of our 6.75% senior notes due 2021 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Income tax expense . Income tax expense is the result of operating income we earned in certain jurisdictions where we are subject to state income taxes.
Equity in earnings of investees. Equity in earnings of investees is the change in the fair value of our investments in our joint ventures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
We present certain "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including funds from operations attributable to common shareholders, or FFO attributable to common shareholders, normalized funds from operations attributable to common shareholders, or Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, and NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We consider these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization, they may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs and, in the case of NOI, reflecting only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level may help both investors and management to understand the operations of our properties.
Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders
We calculate FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders as shown below. FFO attributable to common shareholders is calculated on the basis defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties, equity in earnings or losses of unconsolidated joint ventures, loss on impairment of real estate assets, gains or losses on equity securities, net, if any, including adjustments to reflect our proportionate share of FFO of our equity method investment in AlerisLife and our proportionate share of FFO from our unconsolidated joint ventures, plus real estate depreciation and amortization of consolidated properties and minus FFO adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. In calculating Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, we adjust for the items shown below. FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in the agreements governing our debt, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance, and our expected needs for and availability of cash to pay our obligations. O ther real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders differently than we do.
Our calculations of FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and reconciliations of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements, to FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders appear in the following table. This table also provides a comparison of distributions to shareholders, FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders per share for these periods.

Property Net Operating Income (NOI)
We calculate NOI as shown below. The calculation of NOI excludes certain components of net income (loss) in order to provide results that are more closely related to our property level results of operations. We define NOI as income from our real estate less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that we record as depreciation and amortization. We use NOI to evaluate individual and company-wide property level performance. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate NOI differently than we do.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal sources of cash to meet operating and capital expenses, pay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders are the operating cash flows we generate as rental income from our leased properties, residents fees and services revenues from our managed communities, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and proceeds from the disposition of certain properties. We believe that these sources will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses, pay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. Our future cash flows from operating activities will depend primarily upon:
• our ability to receive rents from our tenants;
• our ability to maintain or increase the occupancy of, and the rates at, our properties, particularly at our senior living communities;
• our and our managers' abilities to control operating expenses and capital expenses at our properties, including increased operating expenses that we may incur in response to high inflation or supply chain challenges; and
• our managers' abilities to maintain or increase our returns from our managed senior living communities.
In March 2021, we borrowed $800.0 million under our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of continued uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In February 2022, we repaid $100.0 million of this borrowing and reduced the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility to $700.0 million pursuant to the February 2022 amendment to our credit agreement. In addition, in February 2022, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility by one year to January 2024. Pursuant to our
37
Table of Contents
credit agreement, the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be reduced to $586.4 million in January 2023 and, as such, we will be required to repay $113.6 million under our revolving credit facility by that time. Although we have taken steps to enhance our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity, a protracted negative impact on the economy or the industries in which our properties and businesses operate resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, high inflation, rising interest rates, geopolitical risks or other economic, market or industry conditions, including a possible recession, may cause further increased pressure on our ability to satisfy financial and other covenants. We may fail to satisfy covenants and conditions under our credit agreement or fail to satisfy our public debt covenants. If we believe we will not be able to satisfy our financial or other covenants, we expect that we would seek waivers or amendments prior to any covenant violation or seek other financing alternatives. As of September 30, 2022, our ratio of consolidated income available for debt service to debt service was below the 1.5x incurrence requirement under our revolving credit facility and our public debt covenants as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to adversely impact our operations. We are unable to incur additional debt until this ratio is at or above 1.5x on a pro forma basis. For additional responses and measures taken relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, see Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources" in our Annual Report.
In January 2022, we entered into a joint venture with two unrelated third party institutional investors for 10 medical office and life science properties we owned for aggregate proceeds, before closing costs and other adjustments, of $653.3 million. The equity interests that the investors acquired from us equaled 41% and 39%, respectively, of the total equity interests in the joint venture and we retained a 20% equity interest in the joint venture. Following the sale, we account for this joint venture using the equity method of accounting under the fair value option. The initial investment amounts were based upon a property valuation of approximately $702.5 million, less approximately $456.6 million of secured debt on the properties incurred by this joint venture.
In June 2022, we sold an additional 10% equity interest in the Seaport JV to an existing joint venture investor for aggregate proceeds, before closing costs and other adjustments, of $108.0 million. After giving effect to this sale, we continue to own a 10% equity interest in this joint venture. Our initial investment amount was based on a property valuation of $1.7 billion, less $620.0 million of existing mortgage debts on the property that this joint venture assumed.
The measures we have taken to enhance our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity may not sufficiently offset the decrease in cash flows from operations as a result of the properties we have sold, operating losses we may experience and capital investments we make, in which case our liquidity would be negatively impacted.
The following is a summary of our sources and uses of cash flows for the periods presented, as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (dollars in thousands):
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2022 2021
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period $ 1,016,945 $ 90,849
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities (36,948) (13,198)
Investing activities 483,713 (22,885)
Financing activities (662,905) 756,671
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period $ 800,805 $ 811,437
Our Operating Liquidity and Resources
We generally receive minimum rents from our tenants monthly or quarterly, we receive residents fees and services revenues, net of expenses, from our managed senior living communities monthly and we receive percentage rents from certain of our senior living community tenants monthly, quarterly or annually.
The increase in cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior period was primarily due to reduced NOI as a result of the deconsolidation of joint venture properties during 2021 and 2022, as well as wage inflation and other cost pressures in the senior living communities in our SHOP segment, and dispositions of properties during 2021. These decreases were partially offset by the cash distributions we received from our unconsolidated joint venture interests and increased NOI as a result of our acquisition of one property during 2022. As noted elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the transition of the management of the 107 senior living communities from Five Star to other third party managers was completed as of December 31, 2021 and we have closed the remaining senior living community that we and Five Star agreed to transition and are assessing opportunities to redevelop that property.

Specifically as it relates to our SHOP segment, we face and may continue to face issues with labor availability and wage inflation along with cost pressures from supply chain disruptions and commodity price inflation.
Our Investing Liquidity and Resources
The change in cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior period was primarily due to proceeds from our sale of 10 medical office and life science properties to the LSMD JV in which we retained a 20% equity interest and our sale of a 10% equity interest in the Seaport JV, partially offset by less proceeds from the sale of real estate properties, an increase in real estate acquisitions and an increase in real estate improvements in the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period.
The following is a summary of capital expenditures, development, redevelopment and other activities for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2022 2021 2022 2021

Total development, redevelopment and other activities $ 37,293 $ 9,041 $ 101,899 $ 42,885
(1) Office Portfolio segment lease related costs generally include capital expenditures to improve tenants' space or amounts paid directly to tenants to improve their space and other leasing related costs, such as brokerage commissions and tenant inducements.
(2) Office Portfolio segment building improvements generally include capital expenditures to replace obsolete building components that extend the useful life of existing assets or other improvements to increase the marketability of the property.
(3) Development, redevelopment and other activities generally include capital expenditures that reposition a property or result in new sources of revenue.
We plan to continue investing capital in our properties, including redevelopment projects, to better position these properties in their respective markets in order to increase our returns in future years. In 2022, we expect to incur capital expenditures in excess of 2021 levels, but below the $400.0 million limit allowed pursuant to our credit agreement.
As of September 30, 2022, we had estimated unspent leasing related obligations at our triple net leased senior living communities and our medical office and life science properties of approximately $46.4 million, of which we expect to spend approximately $32.4 million during the next 12 months. We expect to fund these obligations using operating cash flows we generate as rental income from our leased properties, residents fees and services revenues from our managed communities, cash on hand, proceeds related to contributions we may make of properties we own to joint ventures and proceeds from the disposition of certain properties.
We are currently in the process of redeveloping five properties in our Office Portfolio. Our redevelopment in Decatur, GA is currently expected to be completed in 2022. Our redevelopments at our properties in Tempe, AZ, Irving, TX, Mansfield, MA and Washington, D.C. are expected to be completed at various times between 2023 and 2025. In January 2022, we entered into a new 11 year lease for the entire building at the Tempe, AZ property at a rental rate that is 20% higher than the prior rental rate for the same space. We are also currently reviewing strategic alternatives at a property in our Office Portfolio located in Silver Spring, MD, including opportunities to redevelop this property. We continue to assess opportunities to redevelop other properties in our portfolio. These redevelopment projects may require significant capital expenditures and time to complete.

In July 2022, we acquired one life science property located in California with approximately 88,508 square feet for approximately $75.1 million, including closing costs and credits. We funded this acquisition using cash on hand.
As noted above, our ability to make capital investments is currently limited pursuant to our credit agreement. Additionally, due to supply chain disruptions and inflation, the capital investments we plan to make may be delayed or cost more than we expect. For further information regarding our acquisitions and dispositions, see Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our Financing Liquidity and Resources
The change in cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior period was primarily due to repayments of borrowings under our revolving credit facility in the 2022 period compared to our full drawdown of our revolving credit facility in the 2021 period, net proceeds from our issuance in February 2021 of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.375% senior notes in the 2021 period, increased senior unsecured notes redemption amounts in the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period, increased repayment of other debt and a prepayment premium paid in the 2022 period for the redemption of $500.0 million of our outstanding 9.75% senior notes due 2025, partially offset by our repayment in February 2021 of our $200.0 million term loan. Additionally, the Seaport JV did not pay distributions during the 2022 period related to our noncontrolling interest that we deconsolidated in 2021.
As of September 30, 2022, we had $691.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and were fully drawn under our revolving credit facility. We typically use cash balances, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, net proceeds from offerings of debt or equity securities, net proceeds from the disposition of assets and the cash flows from our operations to fund our operations, debt repayments, distributions, property acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures and other general business purposes.
In order to fund investments and to meet cash needs that may result from timing differences between our receipt of rents and our desire or need to make distributions or pay operating or capital expenses, we maintain a revolving credit facility. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is January 15, 2024. Our revolving credit facility generally provides that we can borrow, repay and re-borrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. At September 30, 2022, our revolving credit facility required interest to be paid on borrowings at the annual rate of 5.6%, plus a facility fee of 30 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under the facility. The interest rate premium and facility fee are each subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. On March 31, 2021, we borrowed $800.0 million under our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of continued uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In February 2022, we repaid $100.0 million of this borrowing and reduced the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility to $700.0 million pursuant to the February 2022 amendment to our credit agreement. Also in February 2022, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility by one year to January 2024. As of September 30, 2022 and October 28, 2022, we were fully drawn under our revolving credit facility. Pursuant to our credit agreement, the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be further reduced to $586.4 million in January 2023 and, as such, we will be required to repay $113.6 million under our revolving credit facility by that time.
In February 2022, we and our lenders amended our credit agreement. Pursuant to the amendment:
• the waiver of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant included in our credit agreement has been extended through December 31, 2022;
• the revolving credit facility commitments have been reduced from $800.0 million to $700.0 million;
• we have the ability to fund $400.0 million of capital expenditures per year and we are restricted in our ability to acquire real property as defined in our credit agreement;
• the interest rate premium under our revolving credit facility increased by 15 basis points; and
• certain covenants and restrictions on distributions to common shareholders, share repurchases, capital expenditures, acquiring additional properties and incurring additional indebtedness (in each case subject to various exceptions), and the minimum liquidity requirement of $200.0 million will remain in place during the Amendment Period.
Generally, when significant amounts are outstanding under our revolving credit facility, or as the maturities of our indebtedness approach, we intend to explore refinancing alternatives. Such alternatives may include incurring additional debt,

selling certain properties and issuing new equity securities. In addition, we may also seek to expand our existing joint venture arrangements or to participate in additional joint ventures or other arrangements that may provide us additional sources of financing. We currently have an effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue public securities on an expedited basis, but it does not assure that there will be buyers for such securities. We may also assume debt in connection with our acquisitions of properties or place new debt on properties we own.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we paid quarterly cash distributions to our shareholders totaling approximately $7.2 million using existing cash balances. On October 13, 2022, we declared a quarterly distribution payable to common shareholders of record on October 24, 2022 in the amount of $0.01 per share, or approximately $2.4 million. We expect to pay this distribution on or about November 17, 2022 using cash on hand. For further information regarding the distribution we paid during 2022, see Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We believe we will have access to various types of financings, including debt or equity offerings, to fund our future acquisitions and to pay our debts and other obligations as they become due, subject to limitations on debt offerings in agreements governing our debt. Our ability to complete, and the costs associated with, future debt or equity transactions depends primarily upon credit market conditions and our then creditworthiness. We have no control over market conditions. Our credit and debt ratings depend upon evaluations by credit rating agencies of our business practices and plans, including our ability to maintain our earnings, to stagger our debt maturities and to balance our use of debt and equity capital so that our financial performance and leverage ratios afford us flexibility to withstand any reasonably anticipated adverse changes. Similarly, our ability to raise equity capital in the future will depend primarily upon equity capital market conditions and our ability to conduct our business to maintain and grow our operating cash flows. We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner which will afford us reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities, but we cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully carry out that intention. It is uncertain what the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact will be. A protracted negative impact on the economy or the industries in which our properties and businesses operate resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, high inflation, rising interest rates, geopolitical risks or other economic, market or industry conditions, including a possible recession, may have various negative consequences including a decline in financing availability and increased costs for financing. Further, those conditions could also disrupt capital markets and limit our access to financing from public sources, particularly if the global financial markets experience significant disruptions.
In April 2022, we prepaid a mortgage note secured by one of our medical office properties with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $10.9 million, a maturity date in July 2022 and an annual interest rate of 6.28%, using cash on hand.
In June 2022, we redeemed $500.0 million of our outstanding 9.75% senior notes due 2025 for a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the $500.0 million principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest of $1.1 million, using restricted cash on hand.
In July 2022, we prepaid a mortgage note secured by two of our senior living communities with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $15.3 million, a maturity date in October 2022 and an annual interest rate of 5.75%, using cash on hand.
In October 2022, we repaid a mortgage note secured by one of our life science properties with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $10.3 million, a maturity date in October 2022 and an annual interest rate of 4.85%, using cash on hand.
Pursuant to our credit agreement, the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be reduced to $586.4 million in January 2023 and, as such, we will be required to repay $113.6 million under our revolving credit facility by that time. Our next significant debt maturity does not occur until our revolving credit facility becomes due in January 2024.
In February 2022, Moody's Investors Service, or Moody's, downgraded our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 rating from Ba3 to B2, our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 rating from Ba3 to B2 and our senior unsecured debt rating from B1 to B3. In September 2022, Moody's downgraded our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 rating from B2 to B3, our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 rating from B2 to B3 and our senior unsecured debt rating from B3 to Caa1.
For further information regarding our outstanding debt, see Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Except for the limitations in the amendments to our credit agreement described above, our strategy related to property acquisitions and dispositions is materially unchanged from that disclosed in our Annual Report. Our plans for particular properties and other strategic considerations may cause us to change our acquisition and disposition strategies, and we may do so at any time and without shareholder approval. Further, those plans may be further impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, high inflation, rising interest rates, geopolitical risks or other economic, market or industry conditions, including a possible recession.
Debt Covenants
Our principal debt obligations at September 30, 2022 were: (1) outstanding borrowings under our $700.0 million revolving credit facility; (2) $2.4 billion outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; and (3) $35.2 million aggregate principal amount of mortgage notes (excluding premiums, discounts and net debt issuance costs) secured by three properties. For further information regarding our indebtedness, see Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our senior unsecured notes are governed by our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements. Our credit agreement and our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, as defined, which includes RMR ceasing to act as our business and property manager. Our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements and our credit agreement also contain covenants that restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts and require us to maintain various financial ratios, and our credit agreement contains covenants that restrict our ability to make distributions to our shareholders in certain circumstances. As of September 30, 2022, our ratio of consolidated income available for debt service to debt service was below the 1.5x incurrence requirement under our revolving credit facility and our public debt covenants as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, high inflation, rising interest rates, geopolitical risks or other economic, market or industry conditions, including a possible recession, continued to adversely impact our operations. We are unable to incur additional debt until this ratio is at or above 1.5x on a pro forma basis, and as such, prior to falling below the 1.5x incurrence requirement, we borrowed $800.0 million under our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility. The proceeds from this borrowing may be used for general business purposes. In February 2022, we repaid $100.0 million of this borrowing and reduced the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility to $700.0 million pursuant to the February 2022 amendment to our credit agreement. As of September 30, 2022, we believe we were in compliance with all of the other covenants under our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements, our credit agreement and our other debt obligations, subject to the waivers noted above. Although we have taken steps to enhance our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity, as noted elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a protracted negative impact on the economy or the industries in which our properties and businesses operate resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, high inflation, rising interest rates, geopolitical risks or other economic, market or industry conditions, including a possible recession, may cause increased pressure on our ability to satisfy financial and other covenants. Continued availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility is subject to our satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. If our operating results and financial condition are significantly negatively impacted by the economic conditions or otherwise, we may fail to satisfy covenants and conditions under our credit agreement or fail to satisfy our public debt covenants. Further, if we believe we will not be able to satisfy our financial or other covenants, we will seek waivers, amendments, or in the case of our public debt covenants, borrow any undrawn amounts which may become available under our revolving credit facility prior to any covenant violation, consistent with our approach in March 2021, which may lead to increased costs and interest rates, additional restrictive covenants or other lender protections. We cannot assure that we would be able to obtain these waivers or amendments or repay the related debt facilities when due, or that there will be any amounts available to borrow under our revolving credit facility, which may result in an event of default under the agreements governing our debt or the potential acceleration of our outstanding debt.
Neither our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements, nor our credit agreement, contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our debt ratings. However, under our credit agreement, our senior unsecured debt ratings are used to determine the fees and interest rates we pay. Accordingly, following our debt ratings downgrades, our interest expense and related costs under our credit agreement has increased. See "—Our Financing Liquidity and Resources" above for information regarding recent downgrades of our issuer credit rating and senior unsecured debt rating that resulted in a change in the interest rate premiums under our revolving credit facility.
Our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements contain cross default provisions to any other debts of more than $20.0 million ($50.0 million or more in the case of our senior unsecured notes indentures and supplements entered in February 2016, February 2018, June 2020 and February 2021). Similarly, our credit agreement has cross default provisions to other indebtedness that is recourse of $25.0 million or more and indebtedness that is non-recourse of $75.0 million or more.

The loan agreements governing the aggregate $620.0 million secured debt financing related to the Seaport JV contain customary covenants and provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default. We no longer include this $620.0 million of secured debt financing in our condensed consolidated balance sheet following the deconsolidation of the net assets of this joint venture; however, we continue to provide certain guaranties on this debt. The debt secured by the properties included in the LSMD JV in which we own a 20% equity interest is guaranteed by this joint venture.
Supplemental Guarantor Information
On May 28, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025. We subsequently redeemed $500.0 million of this debt in June 2022, with $500.0 million outstanding. On February 3, 2021, we issued $500.0 million of our 4.375% senior notes due 2031. As of September 30, 2022, all $500.0 million of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and all $500.0 million of our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 were fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis and on a senior unsecured basis, by all of our subsidiaries, except for certain excluded subsidiaries, including pledged subsidiaries under our credit agreement. The notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of our and the subsidiary guarantors' secured indebtedness, respectively, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities and any preferred equity of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. Our remaining $1.35 billion of senior unsecured notes do not have the benefit of any guarantees as of September 30, 2022.
A subsidiary guarantor's guarantee of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and our 4.375% senior notes due 2031, as applicable, and all other obligations of such subsidiary guarantor under the indenture governing the notes will automatically terminate and such subsidiary guarantor will automatically be released from all of its obligations under such subsidiary guarantee and the indenture under certain circumstances, including on or after the date (a) the notes have an investment grade rating from two rating agencies and one of such investment grade ratings is a mid-BBB investment grade rating and (b) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due on our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 or our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 or the respective guarantees, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividend, distribution, loan or other payments. The rights of holders of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and our 4.375% senior notes due 2031, as applicable, to benefit from any of the assets of our non-guarantor subsidiaries are subject to the prior satisfaction of claims of those subsidiaries' creditors and any preferred equity holders. As a result, our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 and the respective guarantees are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness, guarantees and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and our 4.375% senior notes due 2031, including guarantees of other indebtedness of ours, payment obligations under lease agreements, trade payables and preferred equity.

For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, see Notes 9, 10 and 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report, our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and our other filings with the SEC. In addition, see the section captioned “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise as a result of these and other related person transactions and relationships. We may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including businesses to which RMR or its subsidiaries provide management services.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in our condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and impairments of real estate and intangible assets.
A discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in our Annual Report. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates since the year ended December 31, 2021.
Impact of Government Reimbursement
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, substantially all of our NOI was generated from properties where a majority of the revenues are derived from our tenants' and residents' private resources, and a small amount of our NOI was generated from properties where a majority of the revenues are derived from Medicare and Medicaid payments. Nonetheless, we own, and our tenants, managers and operators operate, facilities in many states that participate in federal and state healthcare payment programs, including the federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs and other federal and state healthcare payment programs. Also, some of our medical office and life science property tenants participate in federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs and other government healthcare payment programs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $1.1 million and $19.0 million, respectively, in interest and other income in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) related to funds received under the CARES Act.
For more information regarding the government healthcare funding and regulation of our business, please see the section captioned “Business—Government Regulation and Reimbursement” in our Annual Report and the section captioned “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Impact of Government Reimbursement” in our Annual Report.
