SENIOR HOUSING PROPERTIES TRUST
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)

 
Note 1.  Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Senior Housing Properties Trust and its subsidiaries, or we, us, or our, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, or our Annual Report.  
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

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. We have made reclassifications to the financial statements of prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss) or equity.
We have a joint venture arrangement with a sovereign investor for one of our properties (two buildings) leased to medical providers, clinics, medical related business and biotech laboratory tenants, or MOBs, located in Boston, Massachusetts. The investor owns a 45% equity interest in the joint venture, and we own the remaining 55% equity interest in the joint venture. We have determined that this joint venture is a variable interest entity, or VIE, as defined under the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification. We concluded that we must consolidate this VIE because we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and we have the obligation to absorb losses of, and the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could be significant to the VIE, and therefore are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The assets of this VIE were $1,026,788 and $1,061,593 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and consist primarily of the net real estate owned by the joint venture. The liabilities of this VIE were $706,021 and $714,226 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and consist primarily of the debt securing the property. The sovereign investor's interest in this consolidated entity is reflected as noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 7 for further information about this joint venture.

Note 2.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-02, Leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-20 Leases (Topic 842), Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors. Collectively, these standards set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to previous guidance for sales type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. These standards were effective as of January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, we applied the package of practical expedients that has allowed us to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. Furthermore, we applied the optional transition method in ASU No. 2018-11, which has allowed us to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the adoption period, although we did not have an adjustment. Additionally, our leases met the criteria in ASU No. 2018-11 to not separate non-lease components from the related lease component; therefore, the accounting for these leases remained largely unchanged from the previous standard. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 and the related improvements did not have a material impact in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption, (i)

7
Table of Contents
SENIOR HOUSING PROPERTIES TRUST
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)

allowances for bad debts are recognized as a direct reduction of rental income, and (ii) legal costs associated with the execution of our leases, which were previously capitalized and amortized over the life of their respective leases, are expensed as incurred. Subsequent to January 1, 2019, provisions for credit losses are now included in rental income in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Provisions for credit losses prior to January 1, 2019 were previously included in property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements and prior periods were not reclassified to conform to the current presentation. We completed our assessment of predominance as it relates to our contracts with residents for housing services at properties leased to our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, and have recognized revenue from these properties under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which did not have any impact to the timing or amount of our revenue recognized.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements although lease related receivables are governed by the lease standards referred to above and are not subject to ASU No. 2016-13. We currently expect to adopt this standard using the modified retrospective approach.

Note 3.  Real Estate Properties
As of September 30, 2019, we owned 436 properties, including eight properties classified as held for sale, located in 41 states and Washington, D.C., including one MOB (two buildings) owned in a joint venture arrangement in which we own a 55% equity interest.
Impairment:
We regularly evaluate our assets for indications of impairment. Impairment indicators may include declining tenant or resident occupancy, weak or declining profitability from the property, decreasing tenant cash flows or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life, and legislative, market or industry changes that could permanently reduce the value of an asset. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the affected assets by comparing it to the expected future undiscounted net cash flows to be generated from those assets. If the sum of these expected future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, we reduce the net carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded impairment charges of $7,062 and $15,385, respectively, to adjust the carrying values of 16 senior living communities to their estimated fair value. These 16 senior living communities included 15 skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs, which were sold in September 2019. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we also recorded impairment charges of $26,037 and $26,133, respectively, for seven MOBs. Four of these MOBs were sold in June 2019 and three of these MOBs are classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. These impairment charges, in aggregate, are included in impairment of assets in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Dispositions:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold 33 properties for an aggregate sales price of $53,033, excluding closing costs, as presented in the table below. The sales of these properties do not represent significant dispositions individually or in the aggregate, nor do they represent a strategic shift. As a result, the results of the operation of these properties are included in continuing operations through the date of sale of such property in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Pursuant to the terms of our April 2019 transaction agreement, or the Transaction Agreement, with Five Star Senior Living Inc., or Five Star, the aggregate amount of monthly minimum rent payable to us by Five Star under our master leases with Five Star decreased from the sale of these SNFs, as they were previously leased by us to Five Star. See Note 10 for further information on the Transaction Agreement.
As of September 30, 2019, we had four properties in our MOB segment and four senior living communities with an aggregate undepreciated carrying value of $136,231 classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. Subsequent to September 30, 2019, we sold four of these properties for an aggregate sales price of $58,000, excluding closing costs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded impairment charges of $2,661 to adjust the carrying value of two MOBs to their estimated sales price less estimated costs to sell. These two MOBs are classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we also recorded impairment charges of $6,344 to adjust the carrying value of one senior living community to its estimated fair value. These impairment charges, in aggregate, are included in impairment of assets in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
As of November 6, 2019, we have 40 properties under agreements to sell for an aggregate sales price of approximately $452,804, excluding closing costs. These sales are subject to conditions; as a result, these sales may not occur, they may be delayed or their terms may change.

Note 4.  Leases
We are a lessor of MOBs, senior living communities and wellness centers. Our leases provide our tenants with the contractual right to use and economically benefit from all of the premises demised under the leases; therefore, we have determined to evaluate our leases as lease arrangements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)

Certain of our leases provide for base rent payments and in addition may include variable payments. Rental income from operating leases, including any payments derived by index or market based indices, is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term when we have determined that the collectability of substantially all of the lease payments is probable. Some of our leases have options to extend or terminate the lease exercisable at the option of our tenants, which are considered when determining the lease term. We do not include in our measurement of our lease receivables certain variable payments, including changes in the index or market based indices after the inception of the lease, certain tenant reimbursements and other income until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred. We recognized such payments totaling $19,317 and $57,687 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
Certain of our leases contain non-lease components, such as property level operating expenses and capital expenditures reimbursed by our tenants as well as other required lease payments. We have determined that all of our leases qualify for the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components because (i) the lease components are operating leases and (ii) the timing and pattern of recognition of the non-lease components are the same as those of the lease components. We apply Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases, to the combined component. Income derived by our leases is recorded in rental income in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Certain tenants are obligated to pay directly their obligations under their leases for insurance, real estate taxes and certain other expenses. These obligations, which have been assumed by the tenants under the terms of their respective leases, are not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. To the extent any tenant responsible for any such obligations under the applicable lease defaults on such lease or if it is deemed probable that the tenant will fail to pay for such obligations, we would record a liability for such obligations.

Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability. For leases where we are the lessee, we recognized a right of use asset and a lease liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments with rental payments being applied to the lease liability and the right of use asset being amortized over the term of the lease. The adoption of this standard resulted in an increase in total assets and liabilities of $4,507. The right of use asset and related lease liability are included within other assets, net and other liabilities, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we lease equipment at certain of our managed senior living communities. These leases are short term in nature, are cancelable with no fee or do not result in an annual expense in excess of our capitalization policy and, as a result, will not be recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 5.  Indebtedness
Our principal debt obligations at September 30, 2019 were: (1) outstanding borrowings under our $1,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility; (2) $1,850,000 outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; (3) $550,000 outstanding principal amount under two term loans; and (4) $690,022 aggregate principal amount of mortgages (excluding premiums, discounts and net debt issuance costs) secured by 10 properties. These 10 mortgaged properties had a carrying value (before accumulated depreciation) of $969,501 at September 30, 2019. We also had two properties subject to capital leases with lease obligations totaling $9,120 at September 30, 2019; these two properties had a carrying value (before accumulated depreciation) of $35,823 at September 30, 2019, and the capital leases expire in 2026.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)

We have a $1,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility that is available for general business purposes, including acquisitions. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is January 15, 2022, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting other conditions, we have the option to extend the maturity date of the facility for an additional year. Our revolving credit facility 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. Our revolving credit facility requires interest to be paid on borrowings at the annual rate of LIBOR plus a premium of 120 basis points, plus a facility fee of 25 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. The facility also includes a feature pursuant to which in certain circumstances maximum borrowings under the facility may be increased to up to $2,000,000.
As of September 30, 2019, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 3.1%. The weighted average annual interest rates for borrowings under our revolving credit facility were 3.5% and 3.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 3.5% and 2.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, we had $589,000 outstanding and $411,000 available for borrowing, and as of November 6, 2019, we had $517,000 outstanding and $483,000 available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility.
We have a $350,000 term loan that matures in January 2020 and is prepayable without penalty at any time. This term loan requires interest to be paid at the annual rate of LIBOR plus a premium of 140 basis points that is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. At September 30, 2019, the annual interest rate payable on amounts outstanding under this term loan was 3.5%. The weighted average annual interest rate for amounts outstanding under this term loan was 3.7% and 3.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 3.9% and 3.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This term loan includes an accordion feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased to up to $700,000 in certain circumstances.
We have a $200,000 term loan that matures in September 2022 and is prepayable without penalty at any time. This term loan requires interest to be paid at the annual rate of LIBOR plus a premium of 135 basis points that is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. At September 30, 2019, the annual interest rate payable on amounts outstanding under this term loan was 3.4%. The weighted average annual interest rate for amounts outstanding under this term loan was 3.6% and 3.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 3.8% and 3.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This term loan includes an accordion feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased to up to $400,000 in certain circumstances.
In May 2019, we redeemed at par all of our outstanding 3.25% senior notes due 2019 for a redemption price equal to the principal amount of $400,000, plus accrued and unpaid interest of $6,500. We funded this redemption with cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Also in May 2019, we prepaid, at par plus accrued interest, a mortgage note secured by four of our senior living communities with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $42,211, a maturity date in July 2019 and an annual interest rate of 3.79%. As a result of this prepayment, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $17 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We prepaid this mortgage using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements and our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements, a change of control of us, as defined, which includes The RMR Group LLC, or RMR LLC, ceasing to act as our business and property manager. Our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements and our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements also contain covenants, including those that restrict our ability to incur debts, and generally require us to maintain certain financial ratios, and our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements restrict our ability to make distributions under certain circumstances. We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of the respective covenants under our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements and our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements at September 30, 2019.

Our 423,500 shares of Five Star common stock are included in other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are reported at fair value, which is based upon quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs). Our adjusted cost basis for these shares is $6,353 as of September 30, 2019. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded an unrealized gain of $40 and an unrealized loss of $40, respectively, which are included in gains and losses on equity securities, net in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), to adjust the carrying value of our investment in Five Star common shares to their fair value. See Note 12 for further information about our investment in Five Star.
(2)
We have assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded impairment charges of $26,037 to reduce the carrying value of three MOBs that are classified as held for sale to their estimated sales price, based on a purchase and sale agreement that we have entered into with third party buyers for these MOBs, less estimated costs to sell, of $63,458. See Note 3 for further information about impairment charges and these and other properties we have classified as held for sale.
(3)
We recorded impairment charges of $6,344 to reduce the carrying value of one senior living community to its estimated fair value of $1,098 based on a third party offer. The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of this property are considered Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP.
In addition to the assets and liabilities described in the tables above, our financial instruments at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 included cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other assets, our revolving credit facility, term loans, senior unsecured notes, secured debt and capital leases and other unsecured obligations and liabilities. The fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of such dates, except as follows:

We assumed certain of these secured debts in connection with our acquisition of certain properties. We recorded the assumed mortgage notes at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition and we are amortizing the fair value adjustments, if any, to interest expense over the respective terms of the mortgage notes to adjust interest expense to the estimated market interest rates as of the date of acquisition.

We estimated the fair value of our two issuances of senior unsecured notes due 2042 and 2046 based on the closing price on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, (a Level 1 input) as of September 30, 2019. We estimated the fair values of our four issuances of senior unsecured notes due 2020, 2021, 2024 and 2028 using an average of the bid and ask price on Nasdaq on or about September 30, 2019 (Level 2 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP). We estimated the fair values of our secured debts by using discounted cash flows analyses and currently prevailing market terms as of the measurement date (Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP). Because Level 3 inputs are unobservable, our estimated fair values may differ materially from the actual fair values.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses for our equity securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Note 7. Noncontrolling Interest
We have a joint venture arrangement with a sovereign investor for one of our MOBs (two buildings) located in Boston, Massachusetts. The investor owns a 45% equity interest in the joint venture, and we own the remaining 55% equity interest in the joint venture. We continue to control this property and therefore continue to account for this property on a consolidated basis in our condensed consolidated financial statements under the VIE model. The portion of the joint venture's net income and comprehensive income not attributable to us, or $1,444 and $1,397 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $4,279 and $4,181 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is reported as noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We made aggregate cash distributions to our joint venture partner of $5,107 and $5,151 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $16,294 and $15,932 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which are reflected as a decrease in total equity attributable to noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2019, this joint venture held real estate assets with an aggregate net book value of $730,234, subject to mortgage notes of $620,000.
In assessing whether we have a controlling interest in this joint venture arrangement and are required to consolidate the accounts of the joint venture entity, we considered the members' rights to residual gains and obligations to absorb losses, which activities most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and which member has the power to direct those activities.

Note 8.  Shareholders’ Equity
Share Awards:
On May 21, 2019, in accordance with our Trustee compensation arrangements, we granted 3,000 of our common shares, valued at $7.95 per share, the closing price of our common shares on Nasdaq on that day, to each of our five Trustees as part of their annual compensation.
On September 18, 2019, we granted an aggregate of 187,500 of our common shares, valued at $8.71 per share, the closing price of our common shares on Nasdaq on that day, to our officers and certain other employees of RMR LLC under our equity compensation plan.

Share Purchases:
On April 5, 2019, we purchased 3,529 of our common shares, valued at $9.47 per share, the closing price of our common shares on Nasdaq on that day, from a former employee of RMR LLC in satisfaction of tax withholding and payment obligations in connection with the vesting of awards of our common shares.
On July 3, 2019, we purchased 2,912 of our common shares, valued at $8.64 per share, the closing price of our common shares on Nasdaq on that day, from a former employee of RMR LLC in satisfaction of tax withholding and payment obligations in connection with the vesting of awards of our common shares.
On September 25, 2019, we purchased an aggregate of 25,072 of our common shares, valued at $9.33 per share, the closing price of our common shares on Nasdaq on that day, from our officers and other employees of RMR LLC in satisfaction of tax withholding and payment obligations in connection with the vesting of awards of our common shares.
Distributions:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we declared and paid quarterly distributions to common shareholders as follows:
Record Date
 
Payment Date
 
Distribution Per Share
 
Total Distributions
January 28, 2019
 
February 21, 2019
 
$0.39
 
$92,714
April 29, 2019
 
May 16, 2019
 
$0.15
 
$35,659
July 29, 2019
 
August 15, 2019
 
$0.15
 
$35,661

On October 17, 2019, we declared a regular quarterly distribution payable to common shareholders of record on October 28, 2019, of $0.15 per share, or approximately $35,685. We expect to pay this distribution on or about November 14, 2019.

Note 9.  Segment Reporting
We have four operating segments, of which three are separate reporting segments. We aggregate the reporting units in each of our MOBs, our triple net leased senior living communities and our managed senior living communities into three reporting segments, based on their similar operating and economic characteristics. The first reporting segment includes MOBs where the tenants pay us rent. The second reporting segment includes triple net leased senior living communities that provide short term and long term residential care and other services for residents and from which we receive rents from the operators. The third reporting segment includes managed senior living communities that provide short term and long term residential care and other services for residents where we pay fees to the operator to manage the communities for our account. Our fourth segment includes all of our other operations, including certain properties that offer wellness, fitness and spa services to members and with respect to which we receive rents from operators, which we do not consider to be sufficiently material to constitute a separate reporting segment.

Note 10. Leases and Management Agreements with Five Star
We are Five Star’s largest landlord and Five Star is our largest tenant. As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, we leased 166 and 184 senior living communities to Five Star, respectively. We lease senior living communities to Five Star pursuant to five master leases. Five Star also manages senior living communities for our account pursuant to management and pooling agreements under which Five Star earns management fees. As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, Five Star managed 77 and 75 senior living communities, respectively, for our account.
Five Star had previously announced that a substantial doubt existed regarding its ability to continue as a going concern because of, among other things: challenging current senior living industry conditions had and may continue to negatively impact Five Star’s operating results; Five Star had incurred recurring operating losses in each of the last three fiscal years; Five Star did not expect to be able to pay its full rent obligations in the first quarter of 2019 absent rent relief from us; and Five

Star’s credit facility was fully drawn and scheduled to expire on June 28, 2019. On April 1, 2019, we entered into the Transaction Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to modify our existing business arrangements with Five Star, subject to certain conditions and the receipt of various approvals, as further described below. In addition, in June 2019, Five Star amended and extended the term of its credit facility. In August 2019, Five Star announced that, even though the challenging conditions in the senior living industry continue to exist, it believes that there no longer exists a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern as a result of actions it has taken since March 31, 2019. We cannot be sure whether the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement will be completed or whether Five Star will be able to continue as a going concern.
The April 2019 Transaction Agreement with Five Star. Among other things, the Transaction Agreement provides that, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, effective January 1, 2020 (or January 1, 2021 if extended under the Transaction Agreement), or the Conversion Time:
•our five existing master leases with Five Star for all of our senior living communities that are leased by Five Star, as well as our existing management agreements and pooling agreements with Five Star for our senior living communities that are operated by Five Star, will be terminated and replaced, or the Conversion, with new management agreements for all of these senior living communities, or collectively, the New Management Agreements;
•Five Star will issue to us such number of Five Star common shares as is necessary to cause us to own, when considered together with our then owned Five Star common shares, approximately 34% of the then outstanding Five Star common shares, and enable us to declare a pro rata distribution to holders of our common shares of beneficial interest of the right to receive, and Five Star will issue on a pro rata basis to such holders, a number of Five Star common shares which equals approximately 51% of the then outstanding Five Star common shares, or, together, the Five Star Share Issuances; the noted percentage ownership amounts are post-issuance, giving effect to the Five Star Share Issuances; and
•as consideration for the Five Star Share Issuances, we will provide to Five Star $75,000 of additional consideration, or, collectively with the Conversion and the Five Star Share Issuances, the Five Star Restructuring Transactions.
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement: (1) commencing February 1, 2019, the aggregate amount of monthly minimum rent payable to us by Five Star under our master leases with Five Star was set at $11,000, as of February 1, 2019, subject to adjustment, and no additional rent is payable to us by Five Star from such date to the Conversion Time; and (2) on April 1, 2019, we purchased from Five Star $49,155 of unencumbered Qualifying PP&E (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) related to our senior living communities leased and operated by Five Star, which amount remains subject to possible additional adjustment but will not exceed $60,000. Subsequent to our entering into the Transaction Agreement on April 1, 2019, the aggregate amount of monthly minimum rent payable to us by Five Star under our master leases with Five Star was reduced pursuant to the Transaction Agreement to $10,815 as of September 30, 2019, as a result of dispositions, and remains subject to further adjustment.

At its annual meeting of stockholders held on June 11, 2019, Five Star’s stockholders approved the Five Star Share Issuances. The Five Star Restructuring Transactions remain subject to conditions, including, among others: (1) the receipt of all Required Licenses (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) and any other third party consent or approval required for the consummation of the Five Star Restructuring Transactions; (2) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 filed by Five Star on September 27, 2019 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, to register the Five Star common shares to be issued pursuant to the Transaction Agreement; and (3) approval by Nasdaq of the listing of the Five Star common shares to be issued pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, subject to official notice of issuance.
If any required approval is not obtained by December 31, 2019, and the failure to obtain such approval is not the result of a breach or default by Five Star under the Transaction Agreement, we and Five Star have agreed to work in good faith to determine an alternative to allow the Restructuring Transactions to occur on January 1, 2020; provided we are not required to agree to any alternative that would adversely affect our qualification for taxation as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If we and Five Star do not agree to any such alternative, and, as of January 1, 2020, the failure to obtain a required approval is the only remaining condition under the Transaction Agreement, the Conversion Time will be automatically extended to January 1, 2021. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, since Five Star’s stockholders approved the Five Star Share Issuance, monthly minimum rent payable by Five Star to us under our existing

19

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)

master leases with Five Star will remain at the reduced amount, subject to further adjustment, regardless of whether the Transaction Agreement is extended and/or is terminated.
Five Star has agreed to expand its board of directors within six months following the Conversion Time to add an independent director (as defined in Five Star’s bylaws) reasonably satisfactory to us.
Pursuant to the New Management Agreements, Five Star will receive a management fee equal to 5% of the gross revenues realized at the applicable senior living communities plus reimbursement for its direct costs and expenses related to such communities, as well as an annual incentive fee equal to 15% of the amount by which the annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of all communities on a combined basis exceeds the target EBITDA for all communities on a combined basis for such calendar year, provided that in no event shall the incentive fee be greater than 1.5% of the gross revenues realized at all communities on a combined basis for such calendar year.
The New Management Agreements provide for 15 year terms, subject to Five Star’s right to extend for two consecutive five year terms if it achieves certain performance targets for the combined managed communities portfolio. The New Management Agreements also provide us with the right to terminate the New Management Agreement for any community that does not earn 90% of the target EBITDA for such community for two consecutive calendar years or in any two of three consecutive calendar years, with the measurement period commencing January 1, 2021 (and the first termination not possible until the beginning of calendar year 2023), provided we may not in any calendar year terminate communities representing more than 20% of the combined revenues for all communities for the calendar year prior to such termination.
In connection with the Transaction Agreement, we entered into a credit agreement with Five Star, pursuant to which we extended to Five Star a $25,000 line of credit, or the Five Star credit facility. The Five Star credit facility matures on January 1, 2020, or January 1, 2021 if the Conversion Time is extended pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. The Five Star credit facility provides for interest to be paid on borrowed amounts at a rate of 6% per year and is secured by real estate mortgages on six senior living communities owned by certain of Five Star’s subsidiaries that guarantee Five Star’s obligations under the Five Star credit facility, and certain personal property owned by those and certain other Five Star subsidiaries. The Five Star credit facility provides for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding under the Five Star credit facility upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, including a default by Five Star under the Transaction Agreement and certain other agreements. The agreement governing the Five Star credit facility contains covenants, including those that restrict Five Star’s ability to incur debt or to pay dividends or make other distributions to its stockholders in certain circumstances. As of November 6, 2019, Five Star has not made any borrowings under the Five Star credit facility.
We determined that the Five Star Restructuring Transactions constituted a reconsideration event requiring us to assess whether we held a controlling financial interest in Five Star. As a result of this assessment, we determined that Five Star is a VIE as of the signing of the Transaction Agreement. We determined not to consolidate Five Star in our condensed consolidated financial statements, as we do not have the power to direct the activities of Five Star that most significantly impact Five Star’s economic performance and therefore are not the primary beneficiary of Five Star.
Our Senior Living Communities Leased by Five Star. We recognized rental income payable by Five Star of $32,738 and $51,757 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $105,451 and $155,207 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes $538 of variable payments we received from Five Star. Rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 excludes $1,386 and $4,050, respectively, of variable payments we received from Five Star. We record variable payments we receive from Five Star as deferred rental income, and we recognize any variable payments when the contingencies for those payments have been met. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had net receivables from Five Star of $17,045 and $18,697, respectively, which amounts are included in other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Rental income from Five Star represented 12.8% and 13.4% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The properties Five Star leases from us represented 27.0%, excluding properties held for sale, if any, of our real estate investments, at cost, as of September 30, 2019.

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)

Pursuant to the terms of our leases with Five Star, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we funded $14,749 of improvements to communities leased to Five Star. As a result, the amount of annual minimum rent payable to us by Five Star increased by approximately $1,177, as of September 30, 2018. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the $97,480 of improvements to communities leased to Five Star, including $49,155 of fixed assets and improvements that were purchased pursuant to the Transaction Agreement as discussed above, that we funded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 did not result in increased rent payable by Five Star.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we and Five Star have sold to third parties 18 SNFs that we owned and leased to Five Star for an aggregate sales price of approximately $29,500, excluding closing costs. As a result of these sales, the aggregate amount of monthly minimum rent payable to us by Five Star under our master leases with Five Star was reduced pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. See Note 3 for further information regarding these dispositions.
Our Senior Living Communities Managed by Five Star. Five Star manages certain senior living communities that we lease to our TRSs. As described above, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, we have agreed to replace our long term management and pooling agreements with Five Star with new management agreements effective January 1, 2020 (or January 1, 2021 if the Conversion Time is extended under the Transaction Agreement), subject to certain conditions and the receipt of various approvals.
We incurred management fees payable to Five Star of $3,832 and $3,666 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $11,492 and $10,694 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These amounts are included in property operating expenses or have been capitalized, as appropriate, in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Five Star also provides certain other services directly to residents at some of the senior living communities it manages for our account, such as rehabilitation services. At senior living communities Five Star manages for us where Five Star provides rehabilitation services on an outpatient basis, the residents, third party payers or government programs pay Five Star directly for those rehabilitation services. At senior living communities Five Star manages for us where Five Star provides both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services, we generally pay Five Star for these services and charges for these services are included in amounts charged to residents, third party payers or government programs. We incurred fees payable to Five Star of $1,478 and $1,584 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $4,666 and $4,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for rehabilitation services Five Star provided at senior living communities it manages for us; we include these amounts in property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

level management agreement with RMR LLC with respect to our joint venture arrangement. Based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement, as of September 30, 2019, no estimated 2019 incentive fees are included in the net business management fees we recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The actual amount of annual incentive fees for 2019, if any, will be based on our common share total return as defined in our business management agreement, for the three-year period ending December 31, 2019, and will be payable in 2020. The net business management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 included $725 and $2,175, respectively, of management fees related to our subsidiary level management agreement with RMR LLC with respect to our joint venture arrangement and $18,751 and $50,708, respectively, of estimated 2018 incentive fees based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement, as of September 30, 2018.

These amounts are included in property operating expenses or have been capitalized, as appropriate, in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We are generally responsible for all our operating expenses, including certain expenses incurred or arranged by RMR LLC on our behalf. We are generally not responsible for payment of RMR LLC’s employment, office or administrative expenses incurred to provide management services to us, except for the employment and related expenses of RMR LLC’s employees assigned to work exclusively or partly at our MOBs, our share of the wages, benefits and other related costs of RMR LLC's centralized accounting personnel, our share of RMR LLC’s costs for providing our internal audit function, or as otherwise agreed. Our property level operating expenses are generally incorporated into the rents charged to our tenants, including certain payroll and related costs incurred by RMR LLC.

Five Star.  We are currently one of Five Star’s largest stockholders. As of September 30, 2019, we owned 423,500 of Five Star’s common shares, after giving effect to the one-for-ten reverse stock split of Five Star common shares that Five Star effected on September 30, 2019, or approximately 8.3% of Five Star’s outstanding common shares. Five Star is our largest tenant and the manager of our managed senior living communities.

As of September 30, 2019, ABP Acquisition LLC, a subsidiary of ABP Trust, the controlling shareholder of RMR Inc., owned 35.4% of Five Star's outstanding common shares. Adam D. Portnoy, the Chair of our Board of Trustees and one of our Managing Trustees, is the sole trustee, an officer and the controlling shareholder of ABP Trust and a managing director of Five Star. Our other Managing Trustee also serves as secretary of Five Star. Five Star’s president and chief executive officer and chief financial officer and treasurer are officers and employees of RMR LLC. On April 1, 2019, we entered into the Transaction Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to modify our existing business arrangements with Five Star, subject to certain conditions and the receipt of various approvals.

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)

RMR Inc. RMR LLC is a majority owned subsidiary of RMR Inc. and RMR Inc. is the managing member of RMR LLC. Adam D. Portnoy, the Chair of our Board of Trustees and one of our Managing Trustees, is the sole trustee, an officer and the controlling shareholder of ABP Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of RMR Inc., a managing director, president and chief executive officer of RMR Inc., and an officer and employee of RMR LLC. Jennifer B. Clark, our other Managing Trustee and our Secretary, also serves as a managing director and as executive vice president, general counsel and secretary of RMR Inc., an officer of ABP Trust, an officer and employee of RMR LLC. Other officers and employees of RMR LLC also serve as our officers.
On July 1, 2019, we sold all of the 2,637,408 shares of class A common stock of RMR Inc. that we owned in an underwritten public offering at a price to the public of $40.00 per share pursuant to the underwriting agreement among us, RMR Inc., certain other REITs managed by RMR LLC that also sold their class A common stock of RMR Inc. in the offering, and the underwriters named therein. We received net proceeds of $98,557 from this sale, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.
AIC. We, ABP Trust, Five Star and four other companies to which RMR LLC provides management services currently own AIC in equal amounts. We and the other AIC shareholders historically participated in a combined property insurance program arranged and reinsured in part by AIC. The policies under that program expired on June 30, 2019, and we and the other AIC shareholders elected not to renew the AIC property insurance program; we have instead purchased standalone property insurance coverage with unrelated third party insurance providers.
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our investment in AIC had a carrying value of $9,340 and $8,632, respectively. These amounts are included in other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We recognized income related to our investment in AIC, which is presented as equity in earnings of an investee in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Our other comprehensive income (loss) includes our proportionate part of unrealized gains (losses) on fixed income securities that are owned by AIC related to our investment in AIC.
AIC is in the process of dissolving. In connection with its dissolution, we expect to receive a capital distribution in the fourth quarter of 2019.
For further information about these and other such relationships and certain other related person transactions, refer to our Annual Report.

Note 13.  Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and as such, are generally not subject to federal and most state income taxation on our operating income provided we distribute our taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain organization and operating requirements. We do, however, lease certain managed senior living communities to our wholly owned TRSs that, unlike most of our subsidiaries, file a separate consolidated federal corporate income tax return and are subject to federal and state income taxes. Our consolidated income tax provision includes the income tax provision related to the operations of our TRSs and certain state income taxes we incur despite our taxation as a REIT. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recognized income tax benefit of $146 and expense of $79, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recognized income tax benefit of $47 and expense of $444, respectively.

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.
We are a REIT organized under Maryland law. As of September 30, 2019, we owned 436 properties, including eight properties classified as held for sale, located in 41 states and Washington, D.C., including one MOB (two buildings) owned in a joint venture arrangement in which we own a 55% equity interest. At September 30, 2019, the undepreciated carrying value of our properties, which represents the gross book value of our real estate assets before depreciation and purchase price allocations, less impairment write downs, was $8.6 billion, excluding properties classified as held for sale. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, approximately 97% of our net operating income, or NOI, came from properties where a majority of the revenues are derived from our tenants' and residents’ private resources. 
RESTRUCTURING OF BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS WITH FIVE STAR
In April 2019, we entered into the Transaction Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions and the receipt of various approvals, effective January 1, 2020 (or January 1, 2021 if extended under the Transaction Agreement), our existing five master leases with Five Star for our senior living communities that are leased to Five Star, as well as our existing management agreements and pooling agreements with Five Star for our senior living communities that are managed by Five Star for our account, will be terminated and replaced with new management agreements between us and Five Star for all of these senior living communities. The conversion of the master leases to management agreements will be a significant change in our arrangements with Five Star and may result in our realizing significantly different operating results from our senior living communities, including increased variability.

Also pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, in addition to other transactions, commencing February 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of monthly minimum rent payable to us by Five Star was reduced pursuant to the Transaction Agreement to $11.0 million as of February 1, 2019, subject to adjustment and extension, which amount was subsequently reduced to approximately $10.8 million as a result of dispositions and remains subject to further adjustment, and no additional rent is payable to us by Five Star starting from such date to the Conversion Time. For further information regarding the Transaction Agreement and our other business arrangements with Five Star, see Notes 10 and 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(1)
Represents gross book value of real estate assets before depreciation and purchase price allocations, less impairment write downs, if any. Amounts exclude investment carrying value of eight properties classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2019, which amounts are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
(2)
Represents carrying value of investment divided by number of rentable square feet or living units, as applicable, at September 30, 2019.
(3)
Excludes $292 of revenues and $73 of NOI from properties sold during the three months ended September 30, 2019.
(4)
NOI is defined and calculated 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.”
(5)
Our MOB 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 MOB leases are "full-service" leases where we receive fixed rent from our tenants and no reimbursement for our property operating costs.
(6)
Senior living communities are categorized by the type of living units which constitute a majority of the living units at the community.
(7)
See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information on our restructuring arrangements with Five Star pursuant to the Transaction Agreement.
(8)
These senior living communities are managed by Five Star for our account and include properties leased to our TRSs. Occupancy for the 12 month period ended or, if shorter, from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2019 was 85.5%.
(9)
Operating data for MOBs is presented as of September 30, 2019 and 2018 and includes (i) space being fitted out for occupancy and (ii) space which is leased but is not occupied or is being offered for sublease by tenants; operating data for other properties, tenants and managers are presented based upon the operating results provided by our tenants and manager for the 12 months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, or the most recent prior period for which tenant operating results are made available to us. Rent coverage is calculated using the operating cash flows from our tenants’ facility operations of our properties, before subordinated charges, if any, divided by rents payable to us. We have not independently verified tenant operating data. Excludes data for periods prior to our ownership of certain properties, as well as data for properties sold or classified as held for sale during the periods presented.
(10)
Rent coverage for the 12 months ended June 30, 2019 is calculated based on the $132,000 of annualized rental income, adjusted for properties sold or classified as held for sale, payable to us by Five Star pursuant to the Transaction Agreement.

Table of Contents

There have been no material changes to trends affecting the MOB and senior living industry from those we previously disclosed in our Annual Report.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we entered into MOB lease renewals for 260,190 leasable square feet and new leases for 53,529 leasable square feet. The weighted average annual rental rate for leases entered during the quarter was $25.45 per square foot, which was 5.07% higher than the previous weighted average annual rental rate for the same space. Weighted (by annualized rental income) average lease term for leases entered during the third quarter of 2019 was 6.1 years. Commitments for tenant improvements, leasing commission costs and concessions for leases we entered during the third quarter of 2019 totaled $7.6 million, or $24.29 per square foot on average (approximately $3.97 per square foot per year of the lease term).

Includes 100% of square feet from a property owned in a joint venture arrangement in which we own a 55% equity interest.
(2)
Annualized rental income is based on rents pursuant to existing leases as of September 30, 2019, including straight line rent adjustments, estimated recurring expense reimbursements for certain net and modified gross leases and excluding lease value amortization at certain of our MOBs. Annualized rental income also includes 100% of rental income as reported under GAAP from a property owned in a joint venture arrangement in which we own a 55% equity interest.

Lease expiration data for our triple net leased senior living communities and wellness centers has not been provided because, except for (i) the expected change in the lease expiration data under our five master leases with Five Star from various dates to January 1, 2020, (ii) the April 2019 transfer of the operations of one senior living community previously leased to a private operator to Five Star under our TRS structure, and (iii) the renewal of a lease for one of our SNFs to a private operator for a 10 year term, which expires in June 2029, there were no changes to our lease expiration schedules for our triple net leased senior living communities and wellness centers from those reported in our Annual Report.
In April 2019, Five Star began managing for our account a senior living community we own located in Oregon with 318 living units, pursuant to a management agreement with Five Star on terms substantially similar to those of existing management agreements between us and Five Star, after the previous tenant defaulted on its lease with us.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollars and square feet in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
We have four operating segments, of which three are separate reporting segments. We aggregate our MOBs, triple net leased senior living communities and our managed senior living communities into three reporting segments, based on their similar operating and economic characteristics. The first reporting segment includes MOBs where the tenants pay us rent for space in medical offices, life science laboratories and other medical related facilities. The second reporting segment includes triple net leased senior living communities that provide short term and long term residential care and other services for residents and from which we receive rents from the operators. The third reporting segment includes managed senior living communities that provide short term and long term residential care and other services for residents where we pay fees to the operator to manage the communities for our account. The fourth segment includes all of our other operations, including certain properties that offer wellness, fitness and spa services to members and with respect to which we receive rents from operators, which we do not consider to be sufficiently material to constitute a separate reporting segment.
The following table summarizes the results of operations of each of our segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Comparable properties consists of MOBs we have owned and which have been in service continuously since July 1, 2018, including our MOB (two buildings) owned in a joint venture arrangement in which we own a 55% equity interest; excludes properties classified as held for sale or in redevelopment, if any.
Rental income. Rental income decreased primarily due to dispositions since July 1, 2018 and decreases in occupancy for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, partially offset by an increase in rental income at our comparable properties. Rental income increased at our comparable properties primarily due to increases in property operating expense reimbursement income and higher average rents achieved with respect to our new and renewal leasing activity at certain of our comparable properties, partially offset by reduced occupancy. Rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 includes non-cash straight line rent adjustments totaling $1,043 and $1,912, respectively, and amortization of acquired leases and assumed lease obligations totaling $1,787 and $1,438, respectively.
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses consist of real estate taxes, utility expenses, property management fees, repairs and maintenance expense, cleaning expense, insurance expense and other direct costs of operating these properties. The increase in property operating expenses is primarily the result of increases at our comparable properties, partially offset by our property dispositions since July 1, 2018. Property operating expenses at our comparable properties increased primarily due to higher repairs and maintenance, insurance expense, salaries and benefits and other direct costs of operating our comparable properties. 
Net operating income. The decrease in NOI reflects the net changes in rental income and property operating expenses described above. The reconciliation of NOI to net income (loss) for our MOB segment is shown in the table above. Our definition of NOI and our reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI are included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Depreciation and amortization expense. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to dispositions since July 1, 2018. Depreciation and amortization expense at our comparable properties decreased primarily due to certain depreciable leasing related assets becoming fully depreciated in 2018 and 2019, partially offset by the depreciation and amortization of improvements made to certain of our comparable properties after July 1, 2018.
Impairment of assets. Impairment of assets relates to the adjustment to reduce the carrying value of three MOB properties to their estimated fair value less costs to sell during the three months ended September 30, 2019. These MOBs are classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2019.
Gain on sale of properties. Gain on sale of properties relates to the sale of five MOBs during the three months ended September 30, 2019.
Interest expense.  Interest expense primarily relates to mortgage debts secured by certain of our comparable properties.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest represents the net income attributable to a sovereign investor that owns a 45% equity interest in one of our MOBs (two buildings) through our joint venture arrangement.

Comparable properties consists of triple net leased senior living communities we have owned and which have been leased to the same operator continuously since July 1, 2018; excludes communities classified as held for sale, if any.
Except as noted below under “Rental income,” we have not included a discussion and analysis of the results of our comparable properties data for the triple net leased senior living communities segment as we believe that such a comparison is generally consistent with the comparison of results for all our triple net leased senior living communities from quarter to quarter and a separate, comparable properties comparison is not meaningful.
Rental income. Rental income decreased primarily due to a decrease in rental income at our comparable properties, the sale of 18 senior living communities and the transfer of two senior living communities to our managed communities segment since July 1, 2018, partially offset by increased rents resulting from our purchase of capital improvements at certain of our senior living communities since July 1, 2018. Rental income at our comparable properties decreased primarily due to the reduction in the aggregate amount of rent payable to us by Five Star during the three months ended September 30, 2019 pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information on our restructuring arrangements with Five Star pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. Rental income includes non-cash straight line rent adjustments totaling $255 and $548 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Net operating income. We typically incur minimal property operating expenses at these communities, as the majority of those expenses are paid by our tenants. NOI decreased due to the decrease in rental income described above. The reconciliation of NOI to net income (loss) for our triple net leased senior living communities segment is shown in the table above. Our definition of NOI and our reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI are included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

30

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to our purchase of improvements since July 1, 2018, partially offset by our sale of 18 senior living communities and the transfer of two senior living communities to our managed communities segment since July 1, 2018.
Impairment of assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded asset impairment charges of $7,062 to reduce the carrying value of 16 senior living communities to their estimated fair value. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded asset impairment charges of $4,525 to write off unamortized assets related to lease defaults at two of our senior living communities located in California and Colorado that were leased to third party private operators.
Interest expense.  Interest expense relates to mortgage debts secured by certain of these communities. The decrease in interest expense is due to our prepayment of $40,916 in aggregate principal amount of mortgage debts since July 1, 2018, as well as regularly scheduled amortization of mortgage debts secured by these communities.
Gain on early extinguishment of debt. We recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt in connection with our prepayment of mortgage debts during the third quarter of 2018.

Comparable properties consists of managed senior living communities we have owned and which have been managed by the same operator for our account continuously since July 1, 2018; excludes communities classified as held for sale, if any.
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 the transfer of two senior living communities we own from triple net leased senior living communities to managed senior living communities since July 1, 2018, partially offset by decreases in occupancy and average monthly rates at both comparable and non-comparable properties for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses consist of management fees, real estate taxes, utility expenses, insurance, salaries and benefit costs of property level personnel, repairs and maintenance expense, cleaning expense and other direct

31

costs of operating these communities. Property operating expenses increased primarily due to the transfer of two senior living communities we own from triple net leased senior living communities to managed senior living communities since July 1, 2018 and increased costs associated with staffing and insurance expense at comparable properties for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Net operating income.  The decrease in NOI reflects the net changes in residents fees and services and property operating expenses described above. The reconciliation of NOI to net income (loss) for our managed senior living communities segment is shown in the table above. Our definition of NOI and our reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI are included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense includes the depreciation of owned property and equipment as well as the amortization expense related to in place resident agreements assumed upon the acquisition of a community. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to the transfer of two senior living communities we own from triple net leased senior living communities to managed senior living communities and our purchase of improvements since July 1, 2018, partially offset by certain of our acquired in place resident agreements becoming fully amortized since July 1, 2018.
Interest expense. Interest expense relates to mortgage debts secured by certain of these communities. The decrease in interest expense is due to our prepayment of $98,222 in aggregate principal amount of mortgage debts since July 1, 2018, as well as the regularly scheduled amortization of mortgage debts secured by these communities.
Gain on early extinguishment of debt. We recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt in connection with our prepayment of mortgage notes during the third quarter of 2018.

All other operations includes all of our other operations, including certain properties that offer wellness, fitness and spa services to members, which segment we do not consider to be sufficiently material to constitute a separate reporting segment, and any operating expenses that are not attributable to a specific reporting segment.
(2)
Comparable properties consists of properties we have owned and which have been leased to the same operator continuously since July 1, 2018; excludes communities classified as held for sale, if any.
Rental income. Rental income increased as a result of an increase in the scheduled rent for certain of our wellness center properties. Rental income includes non-cash straight line rent of approximately ($112) and $24 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Rental income also includes net amortization of approximately $55 of acquired real estate leases and obligations for each of the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. 

32

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense remained consistent as we had no acquisitions or capital expenditures in this segment since July 1, 2018. We depreciate our long lived wellness center assets on a straight line basis.
General and administrative expense.  General and administrative expense consists of fees paid to RMR LLC 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 estimated business management incentive fees as a result of no incentive fees being accrued for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $18,751 of business management incentive fees that we recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2018. In addition, we recognized a decrease in business management fees expense as a result of lower trading prices for our common shares during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Acquisition and certain other transaction related costs.  Acquisition and certain other transaction related costs include costs incurred in connection with the Transaction Agreement and operations transition activities that were expensed pursuant to GAAP.
Dividend income. Dividend income during the three months ended September 30, 2018 reflects cash dividends received from our former investment in RMR Inc. We sold all of the RMR Inc. class A common stock that we owned on July 1, 2019.
Gains and losses on equity securities, net. Gain on equity securities in the 2019 period represents the unrealized gain to adjust our investment in Five Star to its fair value. Gains and losses on equity securities, net, in the 2018 period represents the net unrealized gains and losses to adjust our investment in Five Star and our former investment in RMR Inc. to their fair value.
Interest and other income.  The decrease in interest and other income is primarily due to a decrease in average investable cash on hand and restricted cash. 
Interest expense.  Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in borrowings under our revolving credit facility and increases in LIBOR rates, resulting in an increase in interest expense with respect to our borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term loans during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. These increases were partially offset by our redemption in May 2019 of our $400,000 3.25% senior unsecured notes due 2019.
Income tax benefit (expense). Income tax benefit (expense) is the result of operating income we earned in certain jurisdictions that is subject to state income taxes.
Equity in earnings of an investee.  Equity in earnings of an investee represents our proportionate share of earnings from AIC.

Comparable properties consists of MOBs we have owned and which have been in service continuously since January 1, 2018, including our MOB (two buildings) owned in a joint venture arrangement in which we own a 55% equity interest; excludes properties classified as held for sale or in redevelopment, if any.
Rental income. Rental income decreased primarily due to dispositions since January 1, 2018 and decreases in occupancy for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, partially offset by acquisitions since January 1, 2018 and an increase in rental income at our comparable properties. Rental income increased at our comparable properties primarily due to increases in expense reimbursement income and higher average rents achieved with respect to our new and renewal leasing activity at certain of our comparable properties, partially offset by reduced occupancy. Rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 includes non-cash straight line rent adjustments totaling $3,151 and $6,486, respectively, and amortization of acquired leases and assumed lease obligations totaling $4,756 and $4,124, respectively. 
Property operating expenses. The increase in property operating expenses is primarily the result of increases in property operating expenses at our comparable properties and net effect of our property acquisitions and dispositions since January 1, 2018. Property operating expenses at our comparable properties increased primarily due to increases in real estate taxes, insurance expense, salaries and benefit costs and other direct costs of operating our comparable properties.
Net operating income. NOI reflects the net changes in rental income and property operating expenses described above. The reconciliation of NOI to net income (loss) for our MOB segment is shown in the table above.  Our definition of NOI and our reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI are included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Depreciation and amortization expense. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to dispositions since January 1, 2018, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expense at our comparable properties. Depreciation and amortization expense at our comparable properties increased primarily due to the depreciation and amortization of improvements made to certain of our comparable properties after January 1, 2018, partially offset by certain depreciable leasing related assets becoming fully depreciated in 2018 and 2019.
Impairment of assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded asset impairment charges of $26,037 to reduce the carrying value of three MOBs to their estimated fair value less costs to sell and $96 of impairment charges related to the sale of four MOBs.
Gain on sale of properties. Gain on sale of properties relates to the sale of 13 MOBs during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Interest expense.  Interest expense increased primarily due to interest expense related to a $11,050 mortgage assumed with one of our properties acquired in March 2018, partially offset by a decrease of the regularly scheduled amortization of mortgage debts secured by our comparable properties.

34

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest represents the net income attributable to a sovereign investor that owns a 45% equity investment in one of our MOBs (two buildings) through our joint venture arrangement.

Comparable properties consists of triple net leased senior living communities we have owned and which have been leased to the same operator continuously since January 1, 2018; excludes communities classified as held for sale, if any.
Except as noted below under “Rental income,” we have not included a discussion and analysis of the results of our comparable properties data for the triple net leased senior living communities segment as we believe that such a comparison is generally consistent with the comparison of results for all our triple net leased senior living communities from quarter to quarter and a separate, comparable properties comparison is not meaningful.
Rental income. Rental income decreased primarily due to a decrease in rental income at our comparable properties, the sale of 23 senior living communities and the transfer of three senior living communities to our managed communities segment since January 1, 2018, partially offset by increased rents resulting from our purchase of capital improvements at certain of our senior living communities since January 1, 2018. Rental income decreased at our comparable properties primarily due to the reduction in the aggregate amount of rent payable to us by Five Star during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information on our restructuring arrangements with Five Star pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. Rental income includes non-cash straight line rent adjustments totaling $736 and $1,722 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

35

Net operating income. We typically incur minimal property operating expenses at these communities, as the majority of those expenses are paid by our tenants. NOI decreased due to the decrease in rental income as described above. The reconciliation of NOI to net income (loss) for our triple net leased senior living communities segment is shown in the table above. Our definition of NOI and our reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI are included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily as a result of our purchase of improvements since January 1, 2018, partially offset by our sale of 23 senior living communities and the transfer of three senior living communities to our managed communities segment since January 1, 2018.
Impairment of assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded asset impairment charges of $15,385 to reduce the carrying value of 16 senior living communities to their estimated fair value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded asset impairment charges of $5,073 to write off unamortized assets related to lease defaults at two of our senior living communities located in California and Colorado that were leased to third party private operators.
Gain on sale of properties. Gain on sale of properties is the result of our sale of three SNFs during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and five senior living communities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Interest expense.  The decrease in interest expense is due to our prepayment of $40,916 in aggregate principal amount of mortgage debts since January 1, 2018, as well as regularly scheduled amortization of mortgage debts secured by these communities.
Gain on early extinguishment of debt.  We recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt in connection with our prepayment of mortgage notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Comparable properties consists of managed senior living communities we have owned and which have been managed by the same operator for our account continuously since January 1, 2018; excludes communities classified as held for sale, if any.

36

Residents fees and services. Residents fees and services increased primarily due to our acquisitions and the transfer of certain senior living communities we own from triple net leased senior living communities to managed senior living communities since January 1, 2018, partially offset by decreases in occupancy and average monthly rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses increased primarily due to our acquisitions and the transfer of certain senior living communities we own from triple net leased senior living communities to managed senior living communities since January 1, 2018 and increased costs associated with staffing, room turnover and maintenance costs and insurance expense at both comparable and non-comparable properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Net operating income.  The decrease in NOI reflects the net changes in residents fees and services and property operating expenses described above. The reconciliation of NOI to net income (loss) for our managed senior living communities segment is shown in the table above. Our definition of NOI and our reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI are included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to our acquisitions and the transfer of certain senior living communities we own from triple net leased senior living communities to managed senior living communities and purchase of improvements since January 1, 2018, partially offset by decreases due to certain of our acquired resident agreements becoming fully amortized since January 1, 2018.
Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense is due to our prepayment of $102,552 in aggregate principal amount of mortgage debts since January 1, 2018, as well as the regularly scheduled amortization of mortgage debts secured by these communities, partially offset by our assumption of $33,336 of mortgage notes in connection with our acquisitions of three senior living communities since January 1, 2018.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt. We recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt in connection with our prepayment of mortgage debts during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

All other operations includes all of our other operations, including certain properties that offer wellness, fitness and spa services to members, which segment we do not consider to be sufficiently material to constitute a separate reporting segment, and any operating expenses that are not attributable to a specific reporting segment.

Comparable properties consists of properties we have owned and which have been leased to the same operator continuously since January 1, 2018; excludes communities classified as held for sale, if any.
Rental income. Rental income increased as a result of an increase in the scheduled rent for certain of our wellness center properties. Rental income includes non-cash straight line rent of approximately ($337) and $299 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Rental income also includes net amortization of approximately $166 of acquired real estate leases and obligations for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense remained consistent as we had no acquisitions or capital expenditures in this segment since January 1, 2018. We depreciate our long lived wellness center assets on a straight line basis.
General and administrative expense.  General and administrative expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in estimated business management incentive fees as a result of no incentive fees being accrued for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $50,708 of business management incentive fees that we recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. In addition, we recognized a decrease in business management fees expense as a result of lower trading prices for our common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Acquisition and certain other transaction related costs.  Acquisition and certain other transaction related costs include costs incurred in connection with the Transaction Agreement and operations transition activities that were expensed pursuant to GAAP.
Dividend income. The decrease in dividend income is the result of our sale of all of the RMR Inc. class A common stock that we owned on July 1, 2019, partially offset by an increase in dividends per share paid by RMR Inc. during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Gains and losses on equity securities, net. Gains and losses on equity securities, net, represents the net unrealized gains and losses to adjust our investment in Five Star to its fair value and the net realized and unrealized gains and losses to adjust our former investment in RMR Inc. to its fair value.
Interest and other income.  The increase in interest and other income is primarily due to increased average investable cash on hand and restricted cash. 
Interest expense.  Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in borrowings under our revolving credit facility, increases in LIBOR rates, resulting in an increase in interest expense with respect to our borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term loans and our February 2018 issuance of $500,000 of 4.75% senior unsecured notes due 2028. These increases were partially offset by our redemption in May 2019 of our $400,000 3.25% senior unsecured notes due 2019.
Income tax benefit (expense). Income tax benefit (expense) is the result of operating income we earned in certain jurisdictions that is subject to state income taxes.
Equity in earnings of an investee.  Equity in earnings of an investee represents our proportionate share of earnings from AIC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) 
We present certain "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of applicable SEC rules, 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, 2019 and 2018. 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 at 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, loss on impairment of real estate assets and gains or losses on equity securities, net, if any, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and minus FFO 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 and include business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of our core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year. 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 our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements and our public debt covenants, 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. Other 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, 2019 and 2018 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.

Incentive fees under our business management agreement are payable after the end of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined, and are included in general and administrative expense in

our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). In calculating net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders in accordance with GAAP, we recognize estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although we recognize this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, we do not include these amounts in the calculation of Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders until the fourth quarter, when the amount of the business management incentive fee expense for the calendar year, if any, is determined. 
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.
The calculation of NOI by reportable segment is included above in this Item 2. The following table includes the reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 
Our principal sources of funds 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 and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. To reduce leverage, we have sold assets and have identified additional properties to sell aggregating approximately $900 million, focusing primarily on selling underperforming senior living communities and non-core assets, including standalone SNFs and wellness centers. We believe that these sources will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses, pay debt service obligations and make

40
Table of Contents

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 maintain or increase the occupancy of, and the rental rates at, our properties;
•
our ability to control operating expenses and capital expenses at our properties;
•
our manager's ability to operate our managed senior living communities so as to maintain or increase our returns; and
•
our ability to purchase additional properties which produce cash flows in excess of our cost of acquisition capital and the related property operating expenses.
Following entry into the Transaction Agreement, due to the lower cash flow we will receive from our senior living communities operated by Five Star, on April 18, 2019, we lowered our regular quarterly distribution rate to $0.15 per common share ($0.60 per common share annually), which is based on a target distribution payout ratio of approximately 80% of projected cash available for distribution in the future.
Effective January 2020 (or January 2021 if extended under the Transaction Agreement), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Five Star will issue to us such number of Five Star common shares as is necessary to cause us to own, when considered together with our then owned Five Star common shares, approximately 34% of the outstanding Five Star common shares post-issuance, and we will declare a pro rata distribution to holders of our common shares of beneficial interest of the right to receive, and Five Star will issue on a pro rata basis to such holders, a number of Five Star common shares which equals approximately 51% of the outstanding Five Star common shares post-issuance. As consideration for such issuance of Five Star common shares, we will provide to Five Star $75.0 million of additional consideration.
For further information regarding the Transaction Agreement, see Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our Operating Liquidity and Resources 
We generally receive minimum rents from our tenants monthly or quarterly, we receive percentage rents from our senior living community tenants monthly, quarterly or annually and we receive residents' fees and services' revenues, net of expenses, from our managed senior living communities monthly. Our changes in cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were as follows: (1) cash provided by operating activities decreased to $195.7 million in 2019 from $286.0 million in 2018; (2) cash used in investing activities was $26.2 million in 2019, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $136.9 million in 2018; and (3) cash used in financing activities decreased to $176.1 million in 2019 from $314.3 million in 2018.
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year was primarily due to the reduction in the aggregate amount of rent payable to us by Five Star during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, as described in Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, partially offset by a decrease in business management fee expenses in the 2019 period compared to the 2018 period. The change in cash (used in) provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to lower proceeds from the sale of real estate properties in the 2019 period compared to the 2018 period and purchases of fixed assets and improvements during the 2019 period, partially offset by the proceeds from our sale of all of the RMR Inc. class A common stock that we owned in July 2019. The decrease in cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year was primarily due to higher repayments of debt in the 2018 period related to our sale of real estate properties discussed above and a reduction in distributions paid to our shareholders in the 2019 period.
Our Investment and Financing Liquidity and Resources 
As of September 30, 2019, we had $49.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $411.0 million available to borrow 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, capital expenditures and other general business purposes.

41
Table of Contents

In order to fund acquisitions 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 $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is January 15, 2022, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting other conditions, we have the option to extend the maturity date of the facility for an additional year. Our revolving credit facility 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. The facility also includes a feature pursuant to which in certain circumstances maximum borrowings under the facility may be increased to up to $2.0 billion. Our revolving credit facility requires interest to be paid on borrowings at the annual rate of LIBOR plus a premium (currently 120 basis points per annum) that is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings, plus a facility fee of 25 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments. As of September 30, 2019, the annual interest rate required on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 3.1%. As of September 30, 2019 and November 6, 2019, we had $589.0 million and $517.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, respectively.
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 participate in 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. 
We have a $350.0 million unsecured term loan that matures on January 15, 2020. This term loan includes a feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased to up to $700.0 million in certain circumstances. This term loan requires interest to be paid at the rate of LIBOR plus a premium (currently 140 basis points per annum) that is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. As of September 30, 2019, the annual interest rate payable on amounts outstanding under this term loan was 3.5%.
We also have a $200.0 million unsecured term loan that matures on September 28, 2022. This term loan includes a feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased to up to $400.0 million in certain circumstances. This term loan requires interest to be paid at the rate of LIBOR plus a premium (currently 135 basis points per annum) that is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. As of September 30, 2019, the annual interest rate payable on amounts outstanding under this term loan was 3.4%.
In April 2019, our issuer credit rating was downgraded from BBB- to BB+ by Standard and Poor's Global, or S&P, following our announcement of the restructuring of our business arrangements with Five Star. The ratings on our senior notes were reaffirmed at BBB- by S&P and, as a result, the interest rate premium on our revolving credit facility and term loans was not changed.
In May 2019, our senior unsecured debt rating was downgraded from Baa3 to Ba1 by Moody's Investors Service following our announcement of the restructuring of our business arrangements with Five Star. The interest rate premium on our revolving credit facility and term loans was not changed.
In May 2019, we redeemed at par all of our outstanding 3.25% senior notes due 2019 for a redemption price equal to principal amount of $400.0 million. We funded this redemption with cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
In May 2019, we prepaid, at par plus accrued interest, a mortgage note secured by four of our senior living communities with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $42.2 million, a maturity date in July 2019 and an annual interest rate of 3.79%. We prepaid this mortgage using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
In July 2019, we completed our sale of 2,637,408 shares of class A common stock of RMR Inc. in an underwritten public offering at a price to the public of $40.00 per common share. We received $98.6 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, which we used to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold 15 properties from our MOB segment located in Colorado, Florida and Massachusetts, for an aggregate sales price of approximately $23.5 million, excluding closing costs.

42
Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold 18 SNFs located in California, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, for an aggregate sales price of approximately $29.5 million, excluding closing costs. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, annual rental income payable to us by Five Star under our master leases with Five Star was reduced by $2.2 million as a result of our sale of these 18 SNFs that were previously leased to Five Star.
In October 2019, we sold one property from our MOB segment located in New Jersey for a sales price of approximately $47.5 million, excluding closing costs, and three senior living communities located in South Dakota for an aggregate sales price of approximately $10.5 million, excluding closing costs.
We currently have 40 properties, of which 10 are senior living communities leased to Five Star and two are senior living communities managed by Five Star, under agreements to sell for an aggregate sales price of approximately $452.8 million, excluding closing costs. Annual rental income payable to us will be reduced pursuant to the Transaction Agreement from the sale of the senior living communities that are leased to Five Star. These sales are subject to conditions; as a result, these sales may not occur, they may be delayed or their terms may change.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, amounts capitalized for leasing costs and building improvements at our MOBs and capital expenditures at our managed senior living communities were as follows (dollars in thousands):

MOB tenant improvements generally include capital expenditures to improve tenants' space or amounts paid directly to tenants to improve their space.
(2)
MOB leasing costs generally include leasing related costs, such as brokerage commissions and tenant inducements.
(3)
MOB building improvements generally include expenditures to replace obsolete building components that extend the useful life of existing assets.
(4)
Development, redevelopment and other activities generally include capital expenditures that reposition a property or result in new sources of revenue.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we invested $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in revenue producing capital improvements at certain of our triple net leased senior living communities leased to private operators, and, as a result, annual rents payable to us increased by approximately $0.05 million and $0.08 million, respectively, pursuant to the terms of the applicable leases. We used cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund these purchases. These capital improvement amounts are not included in the table above.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we purchased $11.2 million and $97.5 million, respectively, of fixed assets and improvements related to our senior living communities leased to Five Star, including $49.2 million of fixed assets and improvements that were purchased pursuant to the Transaction Agreement in April 2019. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, these purchases of fixed assets and improvements did not result in increased rent payable to us by Five Star under our master leases with Five Star. We used cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund these purchases.

We funded or expect to fund the foregoing capital commitments at our MOBs using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
As of September 30, 2019, we have estimated unspent leasing related obligations at our triple net leased senior living communities and our MOBs of approximately $20.3 million. We currently expect to fund an additional approximately $18.9 million of fixed assets and improvements related to our senior living communities leased to Five Star during the last three months of 2019. We expect to use cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund these purchases.
In July 2019, a tenant in our MOB segment vacated three buildings with an aggregate of 164,091 square feet in California. We have evaluated our options and have begun a full redevelopment of these buildings. The redevelopment of these buildings may take significant capital expenditures and time.
In connection with the Transaction Agreement, we provided to Five Star the short term $25.0 million Five Star credit facility as further described in Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Five Star credit facility matures on January 1, 2020, or January 1, 2021 if the Conversion Time is extended pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. The Five Star credit facility provides for interest to be paid on borrowed amounts at a rate of 6% per year and is secured by real estate mortgages on six senior living communities owned by certain of Five Star’s subsidiaries that guarantee Five Star’s obligations under the Five Star credit facility, and certain personal property owned by those and certain other Five Star subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2019 and November 6, 2019, no amounts were outstanding under the Five Star credit facility.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we paid quarterly cash distributions to our shareholders totaling approximately $164.0 million using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. For more information regarding the distributions we paid during 2019, see Note 8 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On October 17, 2019, we declared a regular quarterly distribution payable to common shareholders of record on October 28, 2019, of $0.15 per share, or approximately $35.7 million. We expect to pay this distribution on or about November 14, 2019 using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
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. Our ability to complete, and the costs associated with, future debt transactions depends primarily upon credit market conditions and our then creditworthiness. We have no control over market conditions. Our credit 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.

Table of Contents

Except as described above, our strategy related to property acquisitions and dispositions is materially unchanged from that disclosed in our Annual Report. We continue to explore and evaluate for possible acquisition of additional properties primarily for income and secondarily for appreciation potential; however, we cannot be sure that we will reach any agreement to acquire such properties, or that if we do reach any such agreement, that we will complete any acquisitions. Generally, we identify properties for sale based on changes in market conditions in the area where the property is located, our expectations regarding the property's future financial performance, our expectation regarding lease renewals, our plans with regard to particular properties or alternative opportunities we may wish to pursue. 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. 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements 
As of September 30, 2019, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. 
Debt Covenants 
Our principal debt obligations at September 30, 2019 were: (1) outstanding borrowings under our $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility; (2) $1.85 billion outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; (3) $550.0 million outstanding principal amount under two term loans; and (4) $690.0 million aggregate principal amount of mortgages (excluding premiums, discounts and net debt issuance costs) secured by 10 properties. See Note 5 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information regarding our indebtedness.
Our senior unsecured notes are governed by our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements. Our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements 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 revolving credit facility and term loan agreements, a change of control of us, as defined, which includes RMR LLC ceasing to act as our business and property manager. Our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements and our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements 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 revolving credit facility and term loan agreements contain covenants that restrict our ability to make distributions to our shareholders in certain circumstances. As of September 30, 2019, we believe we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements, our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements and our other debt obligations. 
Neither our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements, nor our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements, contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our debt ratings. However, under our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements, our senior unsecured debt ratings are used to determine the fees and interest rates we pay. Accordingly, if our debt ratings are downgraded, our interest expense and related costs under our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements may increase. See "—Our Investment and Financing Liquidity and Resources" above for information regarding recent downgrades of our issuer credit rating and senior unsecured debt rating that did not result in a change in the interest rate premiums under our revolving credit facility or term loans.
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 and February 2018). Similarly, our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements have 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 on the property owned by our joint venture contain customary covenants and provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default. 
Related Person Transactions 
We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with RMR LLC, RMR Inc., Five Star and others related to them. For example: we have no employees and the personnel and various services we require to operate our business are

provided to us by RMR LLC pursuant to our business and property management agreements with RMR LLC; RMR Inc. is the managing member of RMR LLC; Adam D. Portnoy, the Chair of our Board of Trustees and one of our Managing Trustees, is the sole trustee, an officer and the controlling shareholder of ABP Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of RMR Inc., and he is also a managing director and the president and chief executive officer of RMR Inc. and an officer and employee of RMR LLC; Jennifer Clark, our other Managing Trustee and our Secretary, is a managing director and the executive vice president, general counsel and secretary of RMR Inc., an officer of ABP Trust, an officer and employee of RMR LLC and the secretary of Five Star; each of our officers is also an officer and employee of RMR LLC; and, until July 1, 2019, we owned shares of class A common stock of RMR Inc. We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with other companies to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services and some of which may have trustees, directors or officers who are also trustees, directors or officers of us, RMR LLC or RMR Inc., including Five Star, which is our former subsidiary and largest tenant and the manager of our managed senior living communities and of which we and a wholly owned subsidiary of ABP Trust are significant stockholders, owning, as of September 30, 2019, 8.3% and 35.4%, respectively, of its outstanding common shares, and with which we have entered the Transaction Agreement, which provides for a restructuring of our contractual arrangements with Five Star.
For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, see Notes 10, 11 and 12 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 2019 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. Our filings with the SEC and copies of certain of our agreements with these related persons, including our business and property management agreements with RMR LLC and our various agreements with Five Star, are available as exhibits to our filings with the SEC and accessible at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. We may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including businesses to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services.
Impact of Government Reimbursement 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, approximately 97% of our NOI was generated from properties where a majority of the revenues are derived from our tenants’ and residents’ private resources, and the remaining 3% 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 and manager 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 MOB tenants participate in federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs and other government healthcare payment programs.
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.
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. 
We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives. Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates has not materially changed since December 31, 2018. Other than as described below, we do not currently foresee any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.

(1)
The principal balances and interest rates are the amounts stated in the applicable contracts. In accordance with GAAP, our carrying values and recorded interest expense may differ from these amounts because of market conditions at the time we assumed these debts. This table does not include obligations under capital leases.
(2)
The properties encumbered by these mortgages are owned in a joint venture arrangement in which we own a 55% equity interest. The principal amounts listed in the table for these debts have not been adjusted to reflect the equity interest in the joint venture that we do not own.
No principal repayments are due under our unsecured notes until maturity. Our mortgage notes generally require principal and interest payments through maturity pursuant to amortization schedules. Because these debts require interest to be paid at a fixed rate, changes in market interest rates during the term of these debts will not affect our interest obligations. If these debts were refinanced at interest rates which are one percentage point higher or lower than shown above, our annual interest cost would increase or decrease by approximately $25.4 million. 
Changes in market interest rates also would affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations; increases in market interest rates decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt, while decreases in market interest rates increase the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Based on the balances outstanding at September 30, 2019, and discounted cash flows analyses through the respective maturity dates, and assuming no other changes in factors that may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations, a hypothetical immediate one percentage point increase in interest rates would change the fair value of those obligations by approximately $40.9 million. 
Our senior unsecured notes and certain of our mortgages contain provisions that allow us to make repayments earlier than the stated maturity date. In some cases, we are not allowed to make early repayment prior to a cutoff date and we are generally allowed to make prepayments only at a premium equal to a make whole amount, as defined, which is generally designed to preserve a stated yield to the noteholder. In the past, we have repurchased and retired some of our outstanding debts and we may do so again in the future. These prepayment rights and our ability to repurchase and retire outstanding debt may afford us opportunities to mitigate the risk of refinancing our debts at maturity at higher rates by refinancing prior to maturity.
Floating Rate Debt 
At September 30, 2019, our floating rate debt obligations consisted of our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility, under which we had $589.0 million outstanding, our $350.0 million term loan and our $200.0 million term loan. Our revolving credit facility matures in January 2022, and, subject to our payment of an extension fee and our meeting other conditions, we have the

47
Table of Contents

option to extend the stated maturity date by one year to January 2023. No principal repayments are required under our revolving credit facility prior to maturity, and we can borrow, repay and re-borrow funds available, subject to conditions, at any time without penalty. Our $350.0 million term loan matures in January 2020, and our $200.0 million term loan matures in September 2022. Our $350.0 million term loan and our $200.0 million term loan are prepayable without penalty at any time. 
Borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term loans are in U.S. dollars and interest is required to be paid at the rate of LIBOR plus premiums that are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. Accordingly, we are exposed to interest rate risk for changes in U.S. dollar based short term rates, specifically LIBOR, and to changes in our credit ratings. In addition, upon renewal or refinancing of our revolving credit facility or our term loans, we are vulnerable to increases in interest rate premiums due to market conditions or our perceived credit characteristics. Generally, a change in interest rates would not affect the value of our floating rate debt but would affect our operating results.
The following table presents the impact a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense as of September 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands except per share amounts):

Our exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates will increase or decrease in the future with increases or decreases in the amount of our borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility or other floating rate debt.

LIBOR Phase Out

LIBOR is currently expected to be phased out in 2021. We are required to pay interest on borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term loans at floating rates based on LIBOR. Future debt that we may incur may also require that we pay interest based upon LIBOR. We currently expect that the determination of interest under our credit facility and term loan agreements would be revised as provided under the agreement or amended as necessary to provide for an interest rate that approximates the existing interest rate as calculated in accordance with LIBOR. Despite our current expectations, we cannot be sure that, if LIBOR is phased out or transitioned, the changes to the determination of interest under our agreements would approximate the current calculation in accordance with LIBOR. We do not know what standard, if any, will replace LIBOR if it is phased out or transitioned.
Although we have no present plans to do so, we may in the future enter into hedge arrangements or derivative contracts from time to time to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Managing Trustees, our President and Chief Operating Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Managing Trustees, our President and Chief Operating Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

For example:
•
Five Star, our largest tenant and the manager of our managed senior living communities, has been experiencing significant operating and financial challenges. Five Star's operating and financial difficulties result from a number of factors, some of which are beyond Five Star's control, including, but not limited to:
•
Five Star's high operating leverage,
•
Increases in Five Star’s labor costs or in costs Five Star pays for goods and services,
•
Competition within the senior living industry,

•
Increases in compliance costs,
•
Continued efforts by third party payers to reduce healthcare costs, and
•
Increases in tort and insurance liability costs.
•
If Five Star’s operations are unprofitable, it could become insolvent and default on its rent obligations to us,
•
If Five Star fails to provide quality services at our senior living communities, the NOI generated by these communities may be adversely affected,
•
We expect to close certain of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, as described herein, on January 1, 2020. These transactions are subject to conditions, including, among others, the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. We cannot be sure that any or all of such conditions will be satisfied. Accordingly, these transactions may not become effective as of January 1, 2020 or at all, or the terms of such transactions may change,
•
The Five Star Share Issuances are subject to the SEC declaring effective the registration statement on Form S-1 that Five Star previously filed with the SEC to register the Five Star common shares to be issued pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. When and whether the SEC declares the registration statement on Form S-1 effective is beyond Five Star’s control. We cannot be sure that the SEC will declare the registration statement on Form S-1 effective prior to December 31, 2019 or at all,
•
If the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement are completed, we expect to own our Five Star common shares for the foreseeable future. However, we may sell some or all of our Five Star common shares. Our ownership of Five Star may also be diluted in the future,

51
Table of Contents

•
If the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement are completed, the conversion of the master leases to management agreements will be a significant change in our arrangements with Five Star and may result in our realizing significantly different operating results from our senior living communities, including increased variability,
•
We plan to continue to pay distributions at an annual rate of $0.60 per common share going forward, based on a target distribution payout ratio of approximately 80% of projected cash available for distribution in the future. Our distribution will be set and reset from time to time by our Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees will consider many factors when setting the distribution, including our historical and projected net income, Normalized FFO, the then current and expected needs and availability of cash to pay our obligations, distributions which we may be required to pay to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Trustees in its discretion. Further, our projected cash available for distribution in the future may change and may vary from our expectations. Accordingly, future distributions may be increased or decreased and we cannot be sure as to the rate at which future distributions will be paid,
•
Our ability to make future distributions to our shareholders and to make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness depends upon a number of factors, including our future earnings, the capital costs we incur to lease and operate our properties and our working capital requirements. We may be unable to pay our debt obligations or to maintain our current rate of distributions on our common shares and future distributions may be reduced or eliminated,
•
To reduce our leverage, we have sold assets and have identified additional properties to sell aggregating approximately $900.0 million. We may not complete the sales of any additional properties we plan to sell, and we may determine to sell fewer, additional or other properties than those we have identified for sale. Also, we may sell properties at prices that are less than we expect and less than their carrying values and we may incur losses on these sales or with respect to these properties,
•
Contingencies in our acquisition and sale agreements may not be satisfied and our pending acquisitions and sales and any related management or lease arrangements we expect to enter may not occur, may be delayed or the terms of such transactions or arrangements may change,
•
We may not be able to sell properties that we may determine to offer for sale on terms acceptable to us or otherwise, and we may incur losses on any such sales or in connection with decisions to pursue selling our properties,
•
The capital investments we are making at our senior living communities in response to competitive pressures resulting from ongoing new supply of senior living communities may not achieve expected results and our senior living communities may not be competitive, despite these capital investments,
•
We may spend more for capital expenditures than we currently expect,
•
Any joint venture arrangements that we may enter may not be successful,
•
Our tenants may experience losses and default on their rent obligations to us,
•
Some of our tenants may not renew expiring leases, and we may be unable to obtain new tenants to maintain or increase the historical occupancy rates of, or rents from, our properties,
•
Our ability to grow our business and maintain or increase our distributions depends in large part upon our ability to buy properties and arrange for their profitable operation or lease them for rents, less their property operating expenses, that exceed our capital costs. We may be unable to identify properties that we want to acquire and we may fail to reach agreement with the sellers and complete the purchase of any properties we do want to acquire. In addition, any properties we may acquire may not provide us with rents or revenues less property operating costs that exceed our capital costs or achieve our expected returns. If our cash flows are reduced and our leverage increases, we may need to sell, rather than buy, properties,
•
Rents that we can charge at our properties may decline upon renewals or expirations because of changing market conditions or otherwise,
•
We expect to enter into additional management arrangements with Five Star for additional senior living communities that we own or may acquire in the future. However, we cannot be sure that we will enter into any additional management arrangements or other transactions with Five Star,

Continued availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility is subject to our satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions that we may be unable to satisfy, 
•
Actual costs under our revolving credit facility or other floating rate debt will be higher than LIBOR plus a premium because of fees and expenses associated with such debt, 
•
The maximum borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility and term loans may be increased to up to $3.1 billion on a combined basis in certain circumstances. However, increasing the maximum borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility and term loans is subject to our obtaining additional commitments from lenders, which may not occur,
•
We have the option to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility upon payment of a fee and meeting other conditions; however, the applicable conditions may not be met,
•
The premiums used to determine the interest rate payable on our revolving credit facility and term loans and the facility fee payable on our revolving credit facility are based on our credit ratings. Changes in our credit ratings may cause the interest and fees we pay to increase,
•
We may be unable to repay our debt obligations when they become due,
•
We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner that will afford us reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities. However, we may not succeed in this regard and we may not have reasonable access to capital,
•
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, approximately 97% of our NOI was generated from properties where a majority of the revenues are derived from our tenants’ and residents’ private resources. This may imply that we will maintain or increase the percentage of our NOI generated from private resources at our senior living communities. However, our residents and patients may become unable to fund our charges with private resources and we may be required or may elect for business reasons to accept or pursue revenues from government sources, which could result in an increased part of our NOI and revenue being generated from government payments and our becoming more dependent on government payments,
•
Circumstances that adversely affect the ability of seniors or their families to pay for our tenants' and manager's services, such as economic downturns, weak housing market conditions, higher levels of unemployment among our residents' family members, lower levels of consumer confidence, stock market volatility and/or changes in demographics generally could affect the profitability of our senior living communities,
•
It is difficult to accurately estimate tenant space preparation costs. Our unspent leasing related obligations may cost more or less and may take longer to complete than we currently expect, and we may incur increasing amounts for these and similar purposes in the future,
•
Our senior living communities are subject to extensive government regulation, licensure and oversight. We sometimes experience deficiencies in the operation of our senior living communities and some of our communities may be prohibited from admitting new residents or our license to continue operations at a community may be revoked. Also, operating deficiencies or a license revocation at one or more of our senior living communities may have an adverse impact on our ability to obtain licenses for or attract residents to our other communities,
•
We believe that our relationships with our related parties, including Five Star, RMR LLC, RMR Inc., ABP Trust and others affiliated with them may benefit us and provide us with competitive advantages in operating and growing our business. However, the advantages we believe we may realize from these relationships may not materialize,
•
The business and property management agreements between us and RMR LLC have continuing 20 year terms. However, those agreements permit early termination in certain circumstances. Accordingly, we cannot be sure that these agreements will remain in effect for continuing 20 year terms, and
•
We expect to receive a capital distribution in the fourth quarter of 2019 in connection with the dissolution of AIC. We cannot be sure that such distribution will occur when expected or at all or what the amount of any such distribution will be.
