Merger with Healthcare Trust of America
Completed Merger
On July 20, 2022, Legacy HR, Legacy HTA, the OP and Merger Sub completed the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Immediately following the Merger, Legacy HR converted to a Maryland limited liability company and changed its name to “HRTI, LLC” and Legacy HTA changed its name to “Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated”. In addition, the equity interests of Legacy HR were contributed by Legacy HTA by means of a contribution and assignment agreement to the OP such that Legacy HR became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the OP. As a result, Legacy HR became a part of an UPREIT structure, which is intended to align the corporate structure of the combined company after giving effect to the Merger and the UPREIT reorganization and to provide a platform for the combined company to more efficiently acquire properties in a tax-deferred manner. The Company operates under the name “Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated” and its shares of class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “HR”. For additional information on the Merger, see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Because Legacy HR was the accounting acquirer under GAAP in the transaction, its historical financial statements became the historical financial statements of the Company. For additional information, please refer to the Explanatory Note in this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
The Company’s primary sources of cash include rent receipts from its real estate portfolio based on contractual arrangements with its tenants, proceeds from the sales of real estate properties, joint ventures, and proceeds from public or private debt or equity offerings. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $1.3 billion available to be drawn on its Unsecured Credit Facility and $24.7 million in cash.
The Company expects to continue to meet its liquidity needs, including funding additional investments, paying dividends, and funding debt service, through cash flows from operations and liquidity sources, including the Unsecured Credit Facility. Management believes that the Company's liquidity and sources of capital are adequate to satisfy its cash requirements. The Company cannot, however, be certain that these sources of funds will be available at a time and upon terms acceptable to the Company in sufficient amounts to meet its liquidity needs.
Investing Activities
Cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were approximately $112.5 million. Below is a summary of significant investing activities.

28
Table of Contents
The Company may, from time to time, sell properties and redeploy cash from property sales into new investments or to repay indebtedness. The income from the new investments or reduction in interest expense could be less than the income from properties sold which would adversely affect the Company's results of operations and cash flows.
Trends and Matters Impacting Operating Results
Management monitors factors and trends important to the Company and the REIT industry to gauge the potential impact on the operations of the Company. In addition to the matters discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, below are some of the factors and trends that management believes may impact future operations of the Company.
Economic and Market Conditions
Rising interest rates and increased volatility in the capital markets have increased the Company’s cost and availability of debt and equity capital. Limited availability and increases in the cost of capital could adversely impact the Company’s ability to finance operations and acquire and develop properties. To the extent the Company’s tenants experience increased costs or financing difficulties due to the economic and market conditions, they may be unable or unwilling to make payments or perform their obligations when due. Additionally, increased interest rates may also result in less liquid property markets, limiting the Company’s ability to sell existing assets or obtain joint venture capital.
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually as of December 31 of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. During the third quarter of 2023, management identified qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist, including the sustained decrease in stock price. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative assessment, and the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit was estimated using a combination of discounted cash flow models and earnings multiples techniques. The determination of fair value using the discounted cash flow model technique requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to revenue and expense growth rates, capitalization rates, discount rates, capital expenditures and working capital levels. The determination of fair value using the earnings multiples technique requires assumptions to be made in relation to maintainable earnings and earnings multipliers. These forecasts and assumptions are highly subjective, and while we believe our assumptions are reasonable, changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on our financial results. Although the quantitative assessment as of September 30, 2023 indicated goodwill was not impaired, given the results of our quantitative assessment, the Company is at risk for future goodwill impairment because it is reasonably possible that, among other factors, continual stock price volatility and downward pressure on the Company's market capitalization could have a material impact on one or more of the estimates and assumptions used to evaluate goodwill.
Expiring Leases
The Company expects that approximately 15% o f its leases will expire each year in the ordinary course of business. There are 476 leases totaling 1.2 million square feet that will expire during the remainder of 2023. Approximately 73% of t he leases expiring during the remainder of 2023 are for space in buildings located on or adjacent to hospital campuses, are distributed throughout the portfolio, and are not concentrated with any one tenant, health system or market area. The Company typically expects to retain 75% to 90% of tenants upon expiration, and the retention ratio for the first nine months of the year was within this range.
Operating Expenses
The Company historically has experienced increases in property taxes throughout its portfolio as a result of increasing assessments and tax rates levied across the country. The Company continues its efforts to appeal property tax increases and manage the impact of the increases. In addition, the Company historically has incurred variability in portfolio utilities expense based on seasonality, with the first and third quarters usually reflecting greater amounts. The effects of these operating expense increases are mitigated in leases that have provisions for operating expense reimbursement. As of September 30, 2023, leases for approximatel y 92% of the Company's total leased square footage allow for some recovery of operating expenses, with approximately 27% having modified gross lease structures and approximately 65% having net lease structures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
Management considers certain non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators to be useful supplemental measures of the Company's operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Set forth below are descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures management considers relevant to the Company's business and useful to investors, as well as reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
The non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators presented herein are not necessarily identical to those presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income, as indicators of the Company's financial performance, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of the Company's liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Management believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the Company's historical consolidated operating results, these measures should be examined in conjunction with net income and cash flows from operations as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Funds from Operations ("FFO"), Normalized FFO and Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD")
FFO and FFO per share are operating performance measures adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as the most commonly accepted and reported measure of a REIT’s operating performance equal to “net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, impairment, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.”
In addition to FFO, the Company presents Normalized FFO and FAD. Normalized FFO is presented by adding to FFO acquisition-related costs, acceleration of debt issuance costs, debt extinguishment costs and other Company-defined normalizing items to evaluate operating performance. FAD is presented by adding to Normalized FFO non-real estate depreciation and amortization, non-cash financing receivable amortization, loan origination cost
30
Table of Contents
amortization, deferred financing fees amortization, stock-based compensation expense and rent reserves, net; and subtracting maintenance capital expenditures, including second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions paid and straight-line rent income, net of expense. The Company's definition of these terms may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing these amounts. FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of the Company's liquidity. FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD should be reviewed in connection with GAAP financial measures.
Management believes FFO, Normalized FFO, FFO per common share, Normalized FFO per share and FAD ("Non-GAAP Measures") provide an understanding of the operating performance of the Company’s properties without giving effect to certain significant non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization expense. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. The Company believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairments and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, Non-GAAP Measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods. The Company reports Non-GAAP Measures because these measures are observed by management to also be the predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to evaluate REITs. For these reasons, management deems it appropriate to disclose and discuss these Non-GAAP Measures. However, none of these measures represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Further, these measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.

Cash Net Operating Income ("NOI") and Merger Combined Same Store Cash NOI
Cash NOI and Merger Combined Same Store Cash NOI are key performance indicators. Management considers these to be supplemental measures that allow investors, analysts and Company management to measure unlevered property-level operating results. The Company defines Cash NOI as rental income, interest from financing receivables less property operating expenses. Cash NOI excludes non-cash items such as above and below market lease intangibles, straight-line rent, lease inducements, financing receivable amortization, tenant improvement amortization and leasing commission amortization. The Company also excludes cash lease termination fees. Cash NOI is historical and not necessarily indicative of future results.
Merger Combined Same Store Cash NOI compares Cash NOI for stabilized properties. Stabilized properties are properties that have been included in operations for the duration of the year-over-year comparison period presented. Accordingly, stabilized properties exclude properties that were recently acquired or disposed of, properties classified as held for sale or intended for sale, properties undergoing redevelopment, and newly redeveloped or developed properties.
Legacy HTA properties that met the same store criteria are included in both periods shown as if they were owned by the Company for the full analysis period. The Legacy HR same store pool represented approximately 35% of the NOI of the combined company at the time of the Merger. Management believes that continued reporting of the same store portfolio of only the pre-Merger accounting acquirer (i.e., Legacy HR) offered little value to the investor who was seeking to understand the operating performance and growth potential of the combined company. The Company was provided access to the underlying financial statements of Legacy HTA (which financial statements had been audited or, in the case of interim periods, reviewed) and other detailed information about each property, such as the acquisition date. Based on this available information, the Company was able to consistently apply its same store definition across the combined portfolio, resulting in approximately 85% of the combined portfolio being represented in the same store presentation.
The Company utilizes the redevelopment classification for properties where management has approved a change in strategic direction for such properties through the application of additional resources including an amount of capital expenditures significantly above routine maintenance and capital improvement expenditures.
Any recently acquired property will be included in the merger combined same store pool once the Company has owned the property for eight full quarters. Newly developed or redeveloped properties will be included in the merger combined same store pool eight full quarters after substantial completion.
The following table reflects the Company's Merger Combined Same Store Cash NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
