GLOBAL MEDICAL REIT INC.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Organization

 

Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation engaged primarily in the acquisition of licensed, state-of-the-art, purpose-built healthcare facilities and the leasing of these facilities to strong clinical operators with leading market share. The Company is externally managed and advised by Inter-American Management, LLC (the “Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of the Company. ZH International Holdings Limited (formerly known as Heng Fai Enterprises, Ltd.) a Hong Kong limited liability company that is engaged in real estate development, investments, management and sales, hospitality management and investments, and REIT management, is an 85% owner of the Advisor and the Company’s Chief Executive Office is a 15% owner of the Advisor. ZH international Holdings Limited owns ZH USA, LLC, a related party and the Company’s former (pre initial public offering) majority stockholder.

 

The Company holds its facilities and conducts its operations through a Delaware limited partnership subsidiary named Global Medical REIT L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company serves as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company named Global Medical REIT GP LLC (the “GP”), a Delaware limited liability company, which owns an approximate 0.01% interest in the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2017, the Company was the 97.64% limited partner of the Operating Partnership, with 1.82% owned by holders of long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units and 0.53% owned by third party holders of Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”). The Operating Partnership holds the Company’s healthcare facilities through separate wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company subsidiaries that were formed for each healthcare facility acquisition.

 

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods have been made.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the interests in the Operating Partnership held by LTIP unit holders and OP Unit holders. The Company presents the portion of any equity it does not own but controls (and thus consolidates) as noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest in the Company includes the LTIP units that have been granted to directors, employees and affiliates of the Company and the OP Units held by third parties. Refer to Note 5 – “Stockholders’ Equity” and Note 7 – “Stock-Based Compensation” and for additional information regarding the OP Units and LTIP units.

 

The Company classifies noncontrolling interest as a component of consolidated equity on its Consolidated Balance Sheets, separate from the Company’s total stockholders’ equity. The Company’s net income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests based on the respective ownership or voting percentage in the Operating Partnership associated with such noncontrolling interests and is removed from consolidated income or loss on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in order to derive net income or loss attributable to common stockholders. The noncontrolling ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the aggregate number of LTIP units and OP Units held by the total number of units outstanding. Any future issuances of additional LTIP units or OP Units would change the noncontrolling ownership interest.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash

 

The restricted cash balance as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $2,040,026 and $941,344, respectively. The restricted cash balance as of September 30, 2017 consisted of $337,242 of cash required by a third-party lender to be held by the Company as a reserve for debt service, $1,619,659 in security deposits received from facility tenants at the inception of their leases, and $83,125 in funds held by the Company from certain of its tenants that the Company collected to pay specific tenant expenses, such as real estate taxes and insurance, on the tenant’s behalf. The restricted cash balance as of December 31, 2016 consisted of $383,265 of cash required by a third party lender to be held by the Company as a reserve for debt service, a security deposit of $319,500, and $238,579 in funds held by the Company from certain of its tenants that the Company collected to pay specific tenant expenses, such as real estate taxes and insurance.

 

Tenant Receivables

 

The tenant receivable balance as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $616,741 and $212,435, respectively. The balance as of September 30, 2017 consisted of $113,400 in funds owed from the Company’s tenants for rent that the Company had earned but had not yet received and $503,341 in funds owed by certain of the Company’s tenants for amounts the Company collects to pay specific tenant expenses, such as real estate taxes and insurance, on the tenants’ behalf. The balance as of December 31, 2016 consisted primarily of $50,922 in funds owed from the Company’s tenants for rent that the Company had earned but had not yet received and $161,513 in funds owed by certain of the Company’s tenants for amounts the Company collects to pay specific tenant expenses, such as real estate taxes and insurance, on the tenants’ behalf.

 

Escrow Deposits

 

Escrow deposits include funds held in escrow to be used for the acquisition of properties in the future and for the payment of taxes, insurance, and other amounts as stipulated by the Company’s Cantor Loan, as hereinafter defined. The escrow balance as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $1,297,665 and $1,212,177, respectively

 

Deferred Assets

 

The deferred assets balance as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $2,923,494 and $704,537, respectively. The balance as of September 30, 2017 consisted of $2,776,735 in deferred rent receivables resulting from the recognition of revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalations on a straight line basis and the balance of $146,759 represented other deferred costs. The December 31, 2016 balance of $704,537 consisted of deferred rent receivables.

 

Other Assets

 

Other assets primarily consists of capitalized costs related to the Company’s property acquisitions. Costs that are incurred prior to the completion of the acquisition of a property are capitalized if all of the following conditions are met: (a) the costs are directly identifiable with the specific property, (b) the costs would be capitalized if the property were already acquired, and (c) acquisition of the property is probable. These costs are included with the value of the acquired property upon completion of the acquisition. The costs are charged to expense when it is probable that the acquisition will not be completed. The other assets balance was $160,214 as of September 30, 2017, which consisted of $138,324 in capitalized costs related to property acquisitions and $21,890 in a prepaid asset. The balance as of December 31, 2016 was $140,374, and consisted solely of capitalized costs related to property acquisitions.

 

Security Deposits and Other

 

The security deposits and other liability balance as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $2,206,145 and $719,592, respectively. The balance as of September 30, 2017 consisted of security deposits of $1,619,679 and a tenant impound liability of $586,466 related to amounts owed for specific tenant expenses, such as real estate taxes and insurance. The balance as of December 31, 2016 consisted of security deposits of $319,500 and a tenant impound liability of $400,092 related to amounts owed for specific tenant expenses, such as real estate taxes and insurance.

 

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders Per Share

 

The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute diluted net income or loss attributable to common stockholders per share. Basic net income or loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income or loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus any potential dilutive shares for the period.  The Company considered the requirements of the two-class method when computing earnings per share and determined that there would be no difference in its reported results if the two-class method was utilized.

Reclassification

 

The Company reclassified the line item “Acquired Lease Intangible Assets, Net” on its Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2016, to present the gross intangible assets acquired as part of its business combination transactions as a separate line item within the category “Investment in Real Estate” and also reclassified the related accumulated amortization balance on the intangible assets acquired to the line item “Accumulated Depreciation and Amortization.” This reclassification was made to conform to the Company’s presentation of those balances as of September 30, 2017.

 

The Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 includes the expense line item “Operating Expenses” which primarily includes both reimbursable property operating expenses that the Company pays on behalf of certain of its tenants, including real estate taxes and insurance, non-reimbursable property operating expenses, and other operating expenses. Reimbursements of tenant operating expenses are recorded on a gross basis (i.e., the Company recognizes an equivalent increase in revenue (expense recoveries) and expense (operating expenses)). Prior to the third quarter of 2017, the Company recorded property operating expenses in the “General and Administrative” expense line item. Accordingly for prior periods these expenses have been reclassified from the “General and Administrative” expense line item into the “Operating Expenses” line item within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On March 31, 2016, the Company, through certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a $32,097,400 portfolio commercial mortgage-backed securities loan (the “Cantor Loan”) with Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, LP (“CCRE”). The subsidiaries are GMR Melbourne, LLC, GMR Westland, LLC, GMR Memphis, LLC, and GMR Plano, LLC (“GMR Loan Subsidiaries”). The Cantor Loan has cross-default and cross-collateral terms. The Company used the proceeds of the Cantor Loan to acquire the Marina Towers (Melbourne, FL) and the Surgical Institute of Michigan (Westland, MI) properties and to refinance the Star Medical (Plano, TX) assets by paying off the existing principal amount of the loan with East West bank in the amount of $9,223,500.

 

The Cantor Loan has a maturity date of April 6, 2026 and accrues annual interest at 5.22%. The first five years of the term require interest only payments and after that payments will include interest and principal, amortized over a 30-year schedule. Prepayment can only occur within four months prior to the maturity date, except that after the earlier of (a) two years after the loan is placed in a securitized mortgage pool, or (ii) May 6, 2020, the Cantor Loan can be fully and partially defeased upon payment of amounts due under the Cantor Loan and payment of a defeasance amount that is sufficient to purchase U.S. government securities equal to the scheduled payments of principal, interest, fees, and any other amounts due related to a full or partial defeasance under the Cantor Loan.

 

The Company is securing the payment of the Cantor Loan with the assets, including property, facilities, and rents, held by the GMR Loan Subsidiaries and has agreed to guarantee certain customary recourse obligations, including findings of fraud, gross negligence, or breach of environmental covenants by GMR Loan Subsidiaries. The GMR Loan Subsidiaries will be required to maintain a monthly debt service coverage ratio of 1.35:1.00 for all of the collateral properties in the aggregate.

West Mifflin Note

 

In order to finance a portion of the purchase price for the West Mifflin facility, on September 25, 2015 the Company (through its wholly owned subsidiary GMR Pittsburgh LLC, as borrower) entered into a Term Loan and Security Agreement with Capital One (the “West Mifflin Note”) to borrow $7,377,500. The West Mifflin Note bears interest at 3.72% per annum and all unpaid interest and principal is due on September 25, 2020. Interest is paid in arrears and interest payments began on November 1, 2015, and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter. Principal payments begin on November 1, 2018 and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter based on an amortization schedule with the principal balance due on the maturity date. The Company, at its option, may prepay the West Mifflin Note at any time, in whole (but not in part) on at least thirty calendar days but not more than sixty calendar days advance written notice. The West Mifflin Note has an early termination fee of two percent if prepaid prior to September 25, 2018.

Revolving Credit Facility

 

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $126,100,000 and $27,700,000 of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, respectively. As described below, the maximum amount that the Company can borrow under the facility is $250,000,000.

 

On December 2, 2016, the Company, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries (GMR Asheville LLC, GMR Watertown LLC, GMR Sandusky LLC, GMR East Orange LLC, GMR Omaha LLC, and GMR Reading LLC) (such subsidiaries, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) of the Operating Partnership entered into a senior revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., as Administrative Agent (“BMO”), which initially provided up to $75,000,000 in revolving credit commitments for the Operating Partnership. The initial Credit Facility included an accordion feature that provided the Operating Partnership with additional capacity, subject to the satisfaction of customary terms and conditions, of up to $125,000,000, for a total initial facility size of up to $200,000,000. On March 3, 2017, the Company, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Subsidiary Guarantors of the Operating Partnership entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility with BMO, which increased the commitment amount to $200,000,000 plus an accordion feature that allows for up to an additional $50,000,000 of principal amount subject to certain conditions, for a total facility size of $250,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). On September 28, 2017, the Company obtained commitments from certain of its lenders on the Revolving Credit Facility for the entire $50,000,000 accordion. The Subsidiary Guarantors and the Company are guarantors of the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility. The amount available to borrow from time to time under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited according to a quarterly borrowing base valuation of certain properties owned by the Subsidiary Guarantors. The initial termination date of the Revolving Credit Facility is December 2, 2019, which could be extended for one year in the case that no event of default occurs.

 

Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bear annual interest at a floating rate that is based, at the Operating Partnership’s option, on (i) adjusted LIBOR plus 2.00% to 3.00% or (ii) a base rate plus 1.00% to 2.00%, in each case, depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, the Operating Partnership is obligated to pay a quarterly fee equal to a rate per annum equal to (x) 0.20% if the average daily unused commitments are less than 50% of the commitments then in effect and (y) 0.30% if the average daily unused commitments are greater than or equal to 50% of the commitments then in effect and determined based on the average daily unused commitments during such previous quarter.

 

The Operating Partnership is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations with respect to liens, indebtedness, distributions, mergers, consolidations, investments, restricted payments and asset sales. The Operating Partnership must also maintain (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2016 and as of the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter, of less than (y) 0.65:1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending prior to October 1, 2019 and (z) thereafter, 0.60:1.00, (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00, (iii) a minimum net worth of $119,781,219 plus 75% of all net proceeds raised through subsequent equity offerings and (iv) a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not greater than 0.10:1.00.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company borrowed $205,400,000 under the Revolving Credit Facility and repaid $107,000,000 using funds primarily from the follow-on common stock offering and the preferred offering for a net amount borrowed of $98,400,000. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest incurred on the Revolving Credit Facility was $1,335,730 and $2,945,588, respectively. No interest expense was incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 as the Revolving Credit Facility was not in place.

Deferred Financing Costs, Net

 

Costs incurred related to securing the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility have been capitalized as a deferred financing asset, net of accumulated amortization, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. A rollforward of the deferred financing cost balance as of September 30, 2017, is as follows:

 

Balance as of January 1, 2017, net  $927,085 
Additions – Revolving Credit Facility 1   2,792,692 
Deferred financing cost amortization expense   (741,796)
Balance as of September 30, 2017, net  $2,977,981 

 

1 This amount includes $1,223,359 of costs incurred in connection with the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility that were erroneously expensed and included in the “General and Administrative Expense” line item within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  During the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company corrected this error by removing the $1,223,359 from expense and capitalizing it as “Deferred Financing Costs, Net” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2017. See Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

 

Amortization expense incurred related to the Revolving Credit Facility deferred financing costs were $307,831 and $741,796 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and is included in the “Interest Expense” line item in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no amortization expense incurred on the Revolving Credit Facility during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as the Revolving Credit Facility was not in place.

 

Weighted-Average Interest Rate and Term

 

The Company’s weighted average interest rate and term of its debt was 3.84% and 3.43 years, respectively, at September 30, 2017, compared to 4.29% and 6.04 years, respectively, at December 31, 2016.

 

Note 5 – Stockholders’ Equity

 

Preferred Stock

 

General

 

On September 15, 2017, the Company closed on the issuance of 3,105,000 shares of its Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, with an initial liquidation preference of $25 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), inclusive of 405,000 shares issued in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option. The Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for cash in whole or in part, from time to time, at any time on or after September 15, 2022, at a cash redemption price of $25 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock will have no voting rights, except for limited voting rights if the Company fails to pay dividends for six quarterly periods. The issuance resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of $77,625,000. After deducting underwriting discounts and advisory fees of $2,445,188, and expenses paid or to be paid by the Company that were directly attributable to the offering of $220,809 (which are both treated as a reduction of the “Preferred Stock” balance on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets), the Company’s preferred stock balance as of September 30, 2017 was $74,959,003. Net proceeds received from the transaction were $75,146,720, which the Company used primarily to repay borrowings on its Revolving Credit Facility. The Company assessed the characteristics of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 480 – “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and concluded that the Series A Preferred Stock is classified as permanent equity.

 

Preferred Stock Dividends

 

Holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividend payments only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)(or a duly authorized committee of the Board). Any such dividends will accrue or be payable in cash from the original issue date, on a cumulative basis, quarterly in arrears on each dividend payment date. Additionally, dividends will be payable at a fixed rate per annum equal to 7.50% of the liquidation preference of $25 per share (equivalent to $1.875 per share on an annual basis). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be cumulative and will accrue whether or not: funds are legally available for the payment of those dividends, the Company has earnings or those dividends are authorized.

 

The quarterly dividend payment dates are January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year, commencing on October 31, 2017. The initial dividend is scheduled to be paid on October 31, 2017 to holders of record as of October 15, 2017, and will be a pro rata dividend from, and including, the original issue date to, and including, October 30, 2017, in the pro rata amount of $0.2396 per share for a total dividend amount of $743,598. Refer to Note 11 – “Subsequent Events” for additional information regarding this dividend payment.

Common Stock

 

General

 

On June 30, 2017, the Company closed a public underwritten offering of its common shares and on July 20, 2017 the Company closed on the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. These transactions resulted in an aggregate of 4,025,000 shares of its common stock being issued at a public offering price of $9 per share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $36,225,000. After deducting underwriting discounts and advisory fees of $1,986,876, and expenses paid by the Company that were directly attributable to the offering of $443,499 (both of which are treated as a reduction of the Company’s additional paid-in capital balance), the Company received net proceeds from the transactions of $33,794,625.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company paid total dividends in the amount of $285,703.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Company’s 2017 Annual Equity Bonus and Long-Term Equity Award Plan as disclosed in Note 7 – “Stock-Based Compensation,” as of September 30, 2017 the Company accrued a dividend of $0.20 per LTIP unit for each of the three quarters of 2017 on the aggregate annual and long-term LTIP units that are subject to retroactive receipt of dividends on the amount of LTIPs ultimately earned. The aggregate amount of the accrual as of September 30, 2017 was $92,123.

 

OP Units

 

As of September 30, 2017, there were 117,941 OP Units issued and held by third parties with an aggregate value of approximately $1,077,497. 109,608 of the OP Units were issued in connection with the acquisition of a facility and were valued at the measurement date of August 18, 2017 using the Company’s closing stock price on that date of $9.14 per share, resulting in a value of $1,000,000. Additionally, 8,333 OP Units were issued pursuant to a third party advisory agreement. These OP Units were valued at the measurement date of August 1, 2017 using the Company’s closing stock price on that date of $9.30 per share resulting in a value of $77,497. The advisory agreement is for the period from June 27, 2017 through December 31, 2017 for a total fee of $250,000 payable in shares of Company common stock, LTIP Units, or OP Units, in three equal installments on August 1, 2017, October 1, 2017, and December 1, 2017.  The number of units issued pursuant to the advisory agreement is determined based on the higher of $10 per share or the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as reported on the NYSE on the last 10 trading days of the calendar month preceding each payment date.

 

Note 6 – Related Party Transactions

 

Initial Management Agreement

 

On November 10, 2014, the Company entered into a management agreement, with an effective date of April 1, 2014, with the Advisor. Under the terms of this initial management agreement, the Advisor was responsible for designing and implementing the Company’s business strategy and administering its business activities and day-to-day operations. For performing these services, the Company was obligated to pay the Advisor a base management fee equal to the greater of (a) 2.0% per annum of the Company’s net asset value (the value of the Company’s assets less the value of the Company’s liabilities), or (b) $30,000 per calendar month. In accordance with the terms of the initial management agreement, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred $807,147 of base management fees and repaid $510,000 of cumulative management fees accrued and outstanding. Additionally, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred $754,000 in acquisition fees that were paid to the Advisor for acquisitions that were completed during that period.

Amended Management Agreement

 

Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering on July 1, 2016, the Company and the Advisor entered into an amended and restated management agreement (the “Amended Management Agreement”). Certain material terms of the Amended Management Agreement are summarized below:

 

Term and Termination

 

The Amended Management Agreement has an initial term of three years expiring on the third anniversary of the closing date of the initial public offering but will automatically renew for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods thereafter, unless the agreement is not renewed or is terminated in accordance with its terms. If the Board decides to terminate or not renew the Amended Management Agreement, the Company will generally be required to pay the Advisor a termination fee equal to three times the sum of the average annual base management fee and the average annual incentive compensation with respect to the previous eight fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter prior to termination. Subsequent to the initial term, the Company may terminate the Amended Management Agreement only under certain circumstances.

 

Base Management Fee

 

The Company pays its Advisor a base management fee in an amount equal to 1.5% of its stockholders’ equity per annum, calculated quarterly for the most recently completed fiscal quarter and payable in quarterly installments in arrears.

 

For purposes of calculating the base management fee, the Company’s stockholders’ equity means: (a) the sum of (1) the Company stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2016, (2) the aggregate amount of the conversion price (including interest) for the conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible debentures into common stock and OP Units upon completion of the initial public offering, and (3) the net proceeds from (or equity value assigned to) all issuances of equity and equity equivalent securities (including common stock, common stock equivalents, preferred stock, LTIP units and OP Units issued by the Company or the Operating Partnership) in the initial public offering, or in any subsequent offering (allocated on a pro rata daily basis for such issuances during the fiscal quarter of any such issuance), less (b) any amount that the Company pays to repurchase shares of its common stock or equity securities of the Operating Partnership. Stockholders’ equity also excludes (1) any unrealized gains and losses and other non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization) that have impacted stockholders’ equity as reported in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and (2) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP, and certain non-cash items not otherwise described above, in each case after discussions between the Advisor and its independent directors and approval by a majority of the Company’s independent directors. As a result, the Company’s stockholders’ equity, for purposes of calculating the base management fee, could be greater or less than the amount of stockholders’ equity shown on its financial statements.

 

The base management fee of the Advisor shall be calculated within 30 days after the end of each quarter and such calculation shall be promptly delivered to the Company. The Company is obligated to pay the quarterly installment of the base management fee calculated for that quarter in cash within five business days after delivery to the Company of the written statement of the Advisor setting forth the computation of the base management fee for such quarter.

 

Incentive Compensation Fee

 

The Company pays its Advisor an incentive fee with respect to each calendar quarter (or part thereof that the management agreement is in effect) in arrears. The incentive fee is an amount, not less than zero, equal to the difference between (1) the product of (x) 20% and (y) the difference between (i) the Company’s AFFO (as defined below) for the previous 12-month period, and (ii) the product of (A) the weighted average of the issue price of equity securities issued in the initial public offering and in future offerings and transactions, multiplied by the weighted average number of all shares of common stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (including any restricted stock units, any restricted shares of common stock, OP Units, LTIP units, and shares of common stock underlying awards granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) or any future plan in the previous 12-month period, and (B) 8%, and (2) the sum of any incentive fee paid to the Advisor with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such previous 12-month period; provided, however, that no incentive fee is payable with respect to any calendar quarter unless AFFO is greater than zero for the four most recently completed calendar quarters, or the number of completed calendar quarters since the closing date of the offering, whichever is less. For purposes of calculating the incentive fee during the first 12 months after completion of the offering, AFFO will be determined by annualizing the applicable period following completion of the offering.

 

- 16 -

 

 

Per the terms of the Amended Management Agreement, AFFO is calculated by adjusting the Company’s funds from operations, or FFO, by adding back acquisition and disposition costs, stock based compensation expenses, amortization of deferred financing costs and any other non-recurring or non-cash expenses, which are costs that do not relate to the operating performance of the Company’s properties, and subtracting loss on extinguishment of debt, straight line rent adjustment, recurring tenant improvements, recurring leasing commissions and recurring capital expenditures. To date the Company has not incurred or paid an incentive fee.

 

Management Fee Expense Incurred and Accrued Management Fees

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, management fees of $803,804 and $2,059,325, respectively, were incurred and expensed by the Company and during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company paid management fees to the Advisor in the amount of $1,876,229. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, management fees of $627,147 and $807,147, respectively, were incurred and expensed by the Company and during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company paid management fees to the Advisor in the amount of $510,000. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accrued management fees of $803,805 and $620,709, respectively, were due to the Advisor.

 

Allocated General and Administrative Expenses

 

Effective May 8, 2017, the Company and the Advisor entered into an agreement pursuant to which, for a period of one year commencing on May 8, 2017, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Advisor for $125,000 of the annual salary of the General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, such reimbursement to be paid in arrears in 12 equal monthly installments beginning after the end of the month of May 2017 so long as the General Counsel and Secretary continues to be primarily dedicated to the Company in his capacity as its General Counsel and Secretary. In the future, the Company may receive additional allocations of general and administrative expenses from the Advisor that are either clearly applicable to or were reasonably allocated to the operations of the Company. Other than via the terms of the reimbursement agreement, there were no allocated general and administrative expenses from the Advisor for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016.

 

Note Payable to Majority Stockholder

 

In prior years the Company received funds from its former majority stockholder ZH USA, LLC in the form of a non-interest bearing, due on demand note payable, which is classified as “Note payable to related parties” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company repaid this loan in full during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and accordingly the balance of this note was zero and $421,000 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Note 7 – Stock-Based Compensation

 

2017 Program – Performance Based Awards

 

On February 28, 2017, the Board approved the recommendations of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) with respect to the awarding of 2017 annual performance-based equity incentive award targets in the form of LTIP units (the “Annual Awards”) and long-term performance-based LTIP awards (the “Long-Term Awards”) to the executive officers of the Company and other employees of the Company’s external manager who perform services for the Company (the “2017 Program”). Additionally, the Board approved the recommendations of the Compensation Committee with respect to awarding Annual Awards and Long-Term Awards to two executive officers of the Company whose employment commenced on August 23, 2017 and May 8, 2017, respectively. None of the LTIP units awarded under the 2017 Program have been earned by the participants as of September 30, 2017.

 

The 2017 Program is a part of the Company’s 2016 Plan and therefore the Annual Awards and Long-Term Awards were awarded pursuant to the 2016 Plan. The purpose of the 2016 Plan is to attract and retain qualified persons upon whom, in large measure, the Company’s sustained progress, growth and profitability depend, to motivate the participants to achieve long-term company goals and to more closely align the participants’ interests with those of the Company’s other stockholders by providing them with a proprietary interest in the Company’s growth and performance. The Company’s executive officers, employees, employees of its advisor and its affiliates, consultants and non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the 2016 Plan.

 

The LTIP unit award targets under the 2017 Program and subsequent activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, is as follows:

 

   Annual   Long-Term   Total 
             
Awards on February 28, 2017   97,243    147,081    244,324 
Awards on August 23, 2017 and May 8, 2017   8,224    17,754    25,978 
Total 2017 Program LTIP units awarded as of September 30, 2017   105,467    164,835    270,302 
2017 Program LTIP units forfeited   (19,338)   (58,668)   (78,006)
     Net 2017 Program LTIP awards as of September 30, 2017   86,129    106,167    192,296 

 

As of September 30, 2017, all 192,296 LTIP unit target awards as of September 30, 2017 were to non-employees. The number of target LTIP units comprising each Annual Award was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the dates of grant (August 23, 2017, May 8, 2017, and February 28, 2017) and the number of target LTIP units comprising each Long-Term Award was based on the fair value of the Long-Term Awards as determined by an independent valuation consultant, in each case rounded to the next whole LTIP unit in order to eliminate fractional units.

 

Annual Awards. The Annual Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of LTIP Annual Award Agreements (“LTIP Annual Award Agreements”) between the Company and each grantee.

 

The Compensation Committee established various operating performance goals for calendar year 2017, as set forth in Exhibit A to the LTIP Annual Award Agreements (the “Performance Goals”), that will be used to determine the actual number of LTIP units earned by each grantee under each LTIP Annual Award Agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, management made a determination that the Annual Award payout trend as of September 30, 2017 was 55%, and accordingly, applied 55% to the net target Annual Awards as of September 30, 2017 (86,129 units) to estimate the Annual Awards expected to be earned at the end of the performance period (47,371 units). Cumulative stock based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was adjusted to reflect the reduction in the Annual Award target to 55%. As soon as reasonably practicable following the last day of the 2017 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee will determine the extent to which the Company has achieved the Performance Goals and, based on such determination, will calculate the number of LTIP units that each grantee is entitled to receive under the grantee’s Annual Award based on the performance percentages described in the grantee’s LTIP Annual Award Agreement. Each grantee may earn up to 150% of the number of target LTIP units covered by the grantee’s Annual Award. Any target LTIP units that are not earned will be forfeited and cancelled.

 

The Company expenses the fair value of all unit awards in accordance with the fair value recognition requirements of ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, for “employees,” and ASC Topic 505, Equity, for “non-employees.”

 

As the Annual Awards were granted to non-employees, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 505, the Annual Awards utilize the grant date fair value for expense recognition; however, the accounting after the measurement date requires a fair value re-measurement each reporting period until the awards vest. Since these are performance based awards with no market condition, the closing price on the valuation date and revaluation date will be used for expense recognition purposes.

 

- 18 -

 

 

Long-Term Awards. The Long-Term Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements (“LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements”) between the Company and each grantee. The number of LTIP units that each grantee is entitled to earn under the LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements will be determined following the conclusion of a three-year performance period based on the Company’s total shareholder return, which is determined based on a combination of appreciation in stock price and dividends paid during the performance period (“TSR”). Each grantee may earn up to 200% of the number of target LTIP units covered by the grantee’s Long-Term Award. Any target LTIP units that are not earned will be forfeited and cancelled. The number of LTIP units earned under the Long-Term Awards will be determined as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the three-year performance period based on the Company’s TSR on an absolute basis (as to 75% of the Long-Term Award) and relative to the SNL Healthcare REIT Index (as to 25% of the Long-Term Award).

 

As the Long-Term Awards were granted to non-employees and involved market-based performance conditions, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 505, the Long-Term Awards utilize a Monte Carlo simulation to provide a grant date fair value for expense recognition; however, the accounting after the measurement date requires a fair value re-measurement each reporting period until the awards vest. The fair value re-measurement will be performed by calculating a Monte Carlo produced fair value at the conclusion of each reporting period until vesting.

 

The Monte Carlo simulation is a generally accepted statistical technique used, in this instance, to simulate a range of possible future stock prices for the Company and the members of the SNL Healthcare REIT Index (the “Index”) over the Performance Period (February 28, 2017 to February 27, 2020; May 8, 2017 to May 7, 2020; and August 23, 2017 to August 22, 2020, respectively). The purpose of this modeling is to use a probabilistic approach for estimating the fair value of the performance share award for purposes of accounting under ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 505 does not provide guidance on how to derive a fair value, so the valuation defaults to that described in ASC Topic 718.

 

The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation include beginning average stock price, valuation date stock price, expected volatilities, correlation coefficients, risk-free rate of interest, and expected dividend yield. The beginning average stock price is the beginning average stock price for the Company and each member of the Index for the five trading days leading up to the grant date. The valuation date stock price is the closing stock price of the Company and each of the peer companies in the Index on the grant date for the grant date fair value, and the closing stock price on September 30, 2017 for revaluation. The expected volatilities are modeled using the historical volatilities for the Company and the members of the Index. The correlation coefficients are calculated using the same data as the historical volatilities. The risk-free rate of interest is taken from the U.S. Treasury website, and relates to the expected life of the remaining performance period on valuation or revaluation. Lastly, the dividend yield assumption is 0.0%, which is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity, which is part of the Company’s award agreement assumptions.

 

Vesting. LTIP units that are earned as of the end of the applicable performance period will be subject to forfeiture restrictions that will lapse (“vesting”), subject to continued employment through each vesting date, in two installments as follows: 50% of the earned LTIP units will vest upon being earned as of the end of the applicable performance period and the remaining 50% will vest on the first anniversary of the date on which such LTIP units are earned.

 

Distributions. Pursuant to both the LTIP Annual Award Agreements and LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements, distributions equal to the dividends declared and paid by the Company will accrue during the applicable performance period on the maximum number of LTIP units that the grantee could earn and will be paid with respect to all of the earned LTIP units at the conclusion of the applicable performance period, in cash or by the issuance of additional LTIP units at the discretion of the Compensation Committee

 

2016 Plan – Time Based Grants (excludes 2017 Program - Performance Based Awards)

 

The LTIP units granted under the 2016 Plan (excluding 2017 Program awards) during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, are as follows:

The remaining unvested 187,412 LTIP units, net of forfeitures, (the “Service LTIPs”) consists of 171,437 units granted to employees of the Advisor and its affiliates deemed to be non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 505 and vest over periods of 36 months to 53 months, from the grant date, dependent on the population granted to, as well as 15,975 units granted to the Company’s independent directors on May 18, 2017 (who were treated as employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718), and vest over a period of 12 months from the grant date.

 

Under the 2016 Plan a total of 1,232,397 shares of common stock are available to be granted or issued in respect of other equity-based awards such as LTIP units. Based on the grants and target awards outstanding as of September 30, 2017, there are 637,151 shares that remain available to be granted or issued under the 2016 Plan as of September 30, 2017. Shares subject to awards under the 2017 Program and the 2016 Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, lapsed, settled in cash or otherwise expired (excluding shares withheld to satisfy exercise prices or tax withholding obligations) are available for grant.

Overview

 

Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is an externally-managed, Maryland corporation engaged primarily in the acquisition of licensed, state-of-the-art, purpose-built healthcare facilities and the leasing of these facilities to strong clinical operators with leading market share. We completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) in July of 2016 and, as of September 30, 2017, had 21,630,675 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

As of September 30, 2017, our portfolio consisted of 29 facilities with an aggregate of approximately 1,186,462 net leasable square feet and an average remaining lease term of approximately 9.22 years. We seek to acquire or enter into (primarily through sale/leaseback transactions) triple-net leases, pursuant to which our tenants are responsible for all operating expenses relating to the property, that also contain annual rent escalation provisions. This leasing structure provides us with more predictable cash flow and increasing returns from our properties. The table below summarizes our portfolio as of September 30, 2017:

We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We conduct our business through an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, structure in which our properties are owned by wholly-owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership, Global Medical REIT L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Medical REIT GP, LLC, is the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of September 30, 2017, we owned approximately 97.64% of the operating partnership units of our Operating Partnership.

 

Recent Developments

 

Completed Series A Preferred Stock Offering

 

On September 15, 2017, we closed on the public underwritten offering of 3,105,000 shares of our Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, with a liquidation preference of $25 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), inclusive of 405,000 shares issued in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option. The issuance raised aggregate net proceeds of approximately $75 million.

 

Completed Acquisitions

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we completed four acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $66 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we completed 16 acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $215 million. Our gross investment in real estate balance was $422.3 million and $206.9 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. A summary description of the facilities acquired in the third quarter of 2017 is contained in Note 3 – “Property Portfolio,” to the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Trends Which May Influence Results of Operations

 

We believe the following trends in the healthcare real estate market positively impact our lease revenues and the ability to make distributions to our shareholders:

 

·growing healthcare expenditures;
·an aging population;
·a continuing shift towards outpatient care;
·physician practice group and hospital consolidation;
·healthcare industry employment growth;
·expected monetization and modernization of healthcare real estate; and
·a highly fragmented healthcare real estate market.

 

- 25 -

 

 

We believe the following trends in the healthcare real estate market may negatively impact our lease revenues and the ability to make distributions to our shareholders:

 

·changes in demand for and methods of delivering healthcare services;
·changes in third party reimbursement methods and policies; and
·increased scrutiny of billing, referral and other practices by U.S. federal and state authorities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Refer to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a discussion of our significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies of: purchase of real estate, impairment of long lived assets, revenue recognition, fair value of financial instruments, and stock-based compensation, which are included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were no material changes to these policies.

 

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

The major factor that resulted in variances in our results of operations for each revenue and expense category for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was the increase in the size of our property portfolio. Our total investments in real estate, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, was $412.1 million and $122.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Revenue

 

Total Revenue

 

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $8,388,863, compared to $2,002,650 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $6,386,213. The increase is primarily the result of rental revenue earned from the facilities acquired subsequent to September 30, 2016, as well as from the recognition of a full three months of rental revenue relating to acquisitions that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Additionally, $443,816 in revenue was recognized from expense recoveries during the three month period ended September 30, 2017, which related to tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and certain other operating expenses. We recognize these reimbursements and related expenses on a gross basis in our Consolidated Statements of Operations (i.e., we recognize an equivalent increase in revenue (expense recoveries) and expense (operating expenses)). We did not recognize any revenue from expense recoveries during the three month period ended September 30, 2016.

Expenses

 

Acquisition Fees

 

Acquisition fees to unrelated parties for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $651,645, compared to zero for the same period in 2016. These acquisition fees during the 2017 three-month period were incurred on our acquisitions that were accounted for as business combinations. No acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations during the three-month period in 2016.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $989,526, compared with $1,720,651 for the same period in 2016, a decrease of $731,125. This decrease compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily relates to a decrease in non-cash compensation expense incurred on the LTIP units reflecting the impact of LTIP forfeitures, a decrease in legal expense due to the internalization of many of our legal costs, as well as a decrease in insurance expense recognized reflecting actions taken to reduce property insurance costs.

 

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $464,514, compared with $1,025 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $463,489. Operating expenses primarily consist of $443,816 of reimbursable property operating expenses that we paid on behalf of certain of our tenants but also for which we receive reimbursement from the tenant under the applicable lease.

 

Management Fees – related party

 

Management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $803,804, compared with $627,147 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $176,657. The increase in the management fee during the current quarter results from a larger stockholders’ equity balance due to the common stock and preferred stock issuances that were completed during 2017.

 

Depreciation Expense

 

Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $2,175,668, compared with $585,449 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $1,590,219. The increase results primarily from depreciation expense incurred on the facilities acquired subsequent to September 30, 2016 and the recognition of depreciation expense for a full three-month period related to acquisitions completed during the three months ended September 30, 2016. 

 

Amortization Expense

 

Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $523,487, compared to zero for the same period in 2016. Amortization expense was incurred on the in-place lease and leasing cost intangible assets recognized from our acquisitions that were accounted for as business combinations. No acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations during the three-month period in 2016.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $2,174,683, compared with $1,051,204 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $1,123,479. This increase is due to higher average borrowings during the current quarter reflecting interest incurred on the outstanding borrowings from our revolving credit facility as well as amortization of the deferred financing costs incurred to procure debt, which is recorded as interest expense.

 

The weighted average interest rate and term of our debt was 3.84% and 3.43 years, respectively, at September 30, 2017, compared to 4.88% and 8.13 years, respectively, at September 30, 2016.

We recognize these reimbursements and related expenses on a gross basis in our Consolidated Statements of Operations (i.e., we recognize an equivalent increase in revenue (expense recoveries) and expense (operating expenses)). We did not recognize any revenue from expense recoveries during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

 

Expenses

 

Acquisition Fees

 

Acquisition fees to unrelated parties for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $2,130,187, compared to zero for the same period in 2016. These acquisition fees during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 were primarily related to acquisitions that were accounted for as business combinations. As discussed below in the “Acquisition Fees – related party” section, prior to July 1, 2016, the effective date of our amended management agreement (the “Amended Management Agreement”), our acquisition fees were payable to our Advisor.

 

Acquisition Fees – related party

 

Related party acquisition fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were zero, compared with $754,000 for the same period in 2016. Related party acquisition fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 consisted of $350,000, $309,000 and $95,000 that were expensed in connection with the acquisitions of the Plano Facility, the Melbourne Facility, and the Westland Facility, respectively. Pursuant to our original management agreement, the acquisition fees payable to our Advisor were computed at a rate of 2% of the purchase price of the facility and, subsequent to July 1, 2016, our acquisitions were no longer subject to this fee.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $4,418,115, compared with $2,962,730 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $1,455,385. The increase primarily results from an increase of $649,897 in non-cash compensation expense incurred related to the LTIP units during the current nine-month period as well as from an increase in costs incurred during the nine-month period related to Sarbanes-Oxley implementation and public company related costs such as capital market advisory and investor relations.

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $1,234,247, compared with $15,685 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $1,218,562. Operating expenses primarily consisted of $1,141,455, of reimbursable property operating expenses that we paid on behalf of certain of our tenants but also for which we receive reimbursement from the tenant under the applicable lease.

 

Management Fees – related party

 

Management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $2,059,325, compared with $807,147 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $1,252,178. The increase in the management fee during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was due primarily to the larger stockholders’ equity balance due to common stock and preferred stock issuances during 2017 as well as changes in the fee calculation described below. The nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 management fee was calculated based on the terms of the Amended Management Agreement, which became effective on July 1, 2016 and requires an annual base management fee equal to 1.5% of our stockholders’ equity (as defined in the Amended Management Agreement). The management fee for the same period in 2016 was calculated based upon the terms of the Amended Management Agreement from July 1, 2016 through September 30, 2016 ($627,147 of expense) and based on the terms of the original management agreement from January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016 with a fixed fee of $30,000 per month ($180,000 of expense).

 

Depreciation Expense

 

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $5,372,308, compared with $1,528,281 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $3,844,027. The increase results from depreciation expense incurred on the facilities acquired subsequent to September 30, 2016 and the recognition of depreciation expense for a full nine-month period related to acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Amortization Expense

 

Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1,326,395, compared to zero for the same period in 2016. Amortization expense was incurred on the in-place lease and leasing cost intangible assets recognized from our acquisitions that were accounted for as business combinations. We had no acquisitions that were accounted for as business combinations during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $5,265,262, compared with $3,443,113 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $1,822,149. This increase is due to higher average borrowings during the current nine-month period reflecting interest incurred on the outstanding borrowings from our revolving credit facility as well as amortization of the deferred financing costs incurred to procure debt, which is recorded as interest expense.

 

The weighted average interest rate and term of our debt was 3.84% and 3.43 years, respectively, at September 30, 2017, compared to 4.88% and 8.13 years, respectively, at September 30, 2016.

 

Assets and Liabilities

 

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our principal assets consisted of investments in real estate, net; cash and acquired lease intangible assets, net. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our liquid assets consisted primarily of cash of $6.8 million and $19.7 million, respectively.

 

The increase in our investments in real estate, net, to $412.1 million as of September 30, 2017, compared to $203.5 million as of December 31, 2016, was primarily the result of the 16 acquisitions that were completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

The decrease in our cash balance to $6.8 million as of September 30, 2017, compared to $19.7 million as of December 31, 2016, was primarily due to $213.5 million of cash used for the 16 acquisitions during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, $10.8 million of dividends paid during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, $2.8 million of cash paid for deferred financing costs during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 related to the revolving credit facility, and approximately $0.5 million used to repay related party debt. These decreases in cash were partially offset by net borrowings from the revolving credit facility in the amount of $98.4 million, net proceeds received from our common stock offering of $33.8 million, net proceeds received from our preferred stock offering of approximately $75 million, and an increase in cash provided by operating activities of $7.3 million.  

 

- 29 -

 

 

 The increase in our total liabilities to $175.9 million as of September 30, 2017 compared to $72.3 million as of December 31, 2016, was primarily the result of net borrowings from the revolving credit facility in the amount of $98.4 million as well as from increases in the security deposit liability balance, the accounts payable and accrued expenses balance, and the acquired lease intangible liability balance.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

General

 

Our short-term liquidity requirements include:

 

interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness,
general and administrative expenses, and
acquisition expenses.

 

In addition, we will require funds for future distributions expected to be paid to our common and preferred stockholders and OP and LTIP unit holders in our Operating Partnership.

 

As of September 30, 2017, we had $6.8 million of cash and also had borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility as described below. Our primary sources of cash include rent we collect from our tenants, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, secured term loans and net proceeds received from equity issuances.

 

On June 30, 2017, we closed a public underwritten offering of our common stock and on July 20, 2017 we closed on the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. These transactions resulted in an aggregate of 4,025,000 shares of its common stock being issued at a public offering price of $9 per share, resulting in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $33.8 million. We used the proceeds from this transaction primarily to repay borrowing on our revolving credit facility.

 

On September 15, 2017, we closed on a public underwritten offering of 3,105,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, with a liquidation preference of $25 per share, inclusive of 405,000 shares issued in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option. The issuance raised aggregate net proceeds of approximately $75 million. We used the proceeds from this transaction primarily to repay borrowing on our revolving credit facility.

 

On March 3, 2017, the Company, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the subsidiary guarantors of the Operating Partnership amended our revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., as Administrative Agent, which increased the commitment amount to $200 million plus an accordion feature that allows for up to an additional $50 million of principal amount subject to certain conditions. On September 28, 2017, certain of the Company’s lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility committed to fund all of the $50 million accordion feature. The subsidiary guarantors and the Company are guarantors of the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility. The amount available to borrow from time to time under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited according to a quarterly borrowing base valuation of certain properties owned by the subsidiary guarantors. Our Operating Partnership is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility, including limitations with respect to liens, indebtedness, distributions, mergers, consolidations, investments, restricted payments and asset sales. The Operating Partnership must also maintain (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2016 and as of the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter, of less than (y) 0.65:1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending prior to October 1, 2019 and (z) thereafter, 0.60:1.00, (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00, (iii) a minimum net worth of $119,781,219 plus 75% of all net proceeds raised through subsequent equity offerings and (iv) a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not greater than 0.10:1.00. As of September 30, 2017, the outstanding Revolving Credit Facility balance was $126.1 million.

 

On August 25, 2017, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into separate Sales Agreements (the “Sales Agreements”) with each of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and FBR Capital Markets & Co. (the “Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, its common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million, through the Agents (the “ATM Program”). In accordance with the Sales Agreements, the Company may offer and sell its common shares through any of the Agents, from time to time, by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which includes sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or other existing trading market, sales made to or through a market maker, sales made through negotiated transactions or any other method permitted by law. As of September 30, 2017, we had not made any sales of our common shares through the ATM Program.

We believe we will be able to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operating activities, and future equity offerings and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and any other debt instruments we may enter into. However, although we are currently in compliance with our covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility, if we continue to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility and are unable to raise additional equity capital in the future, we may be unable to utilize our Revolving Credit Facility to finance our short-term liquidity requirements unless we are able to obtain covenant waivers from our lenders.

 

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures, scheduled debt maturities, general and administrative expenses and dividends. We expect to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, sales of additional equity securities, and, in connection with acquisitions of additional properties, the issuance of OP Units, and proceeds from select property dispositions and joint venture transactions. We currently do not expect to sell any of our properties to meet our liquidity needs, although we may do so in the future.

 

We intend to invest in additional properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of financing are available. We currently are evaluating additional potential acquisitions consistent with the normal course of our business. There can be no assurance as to whether or when any portion of these acquisitions will be completed. Our ability to complete acquisitions is subject to a number of risks and variables, including our ability to negotiate mutually agreeable terms with sellers and our ability to finance the acquisitions. We may not be successful in identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions, which may impede our growth and negatively affect our results of operations and may result in the use of a significant amount of management resources.

 

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income. Subject to the requirements of the Maryland General Corporation Law, we intend to pay quarterly dividends to our stockholders, if and to the extent authorized by our Board.

 

Cash Flow Information

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $7.3 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $2.1 million for the corresponding nine months in 2016. This increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily derived from the increase in the size of our property portfolio at September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $213.5 million, compared with $68.3 million, for the corresponding nine months in 2016. This increase was primarily the result of increased investment activity in 2017, specifically funds used for the 16 acquisitions that we completed during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. Cash flows used in investing activities are heavily dependent upon the investment in properties and real estate assets. We anticipate cash flows used in investing activities to increase as we acquire additional properties in the future.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $193.3 million, compared with $142.6 million for the corresponding nine months in 2016. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were derived primarily from net proceeds received from the Revolving Credit Facility, net proceeds received from our common stock offering, and net proceeds received from our preferred stock offering, partially offset by the payment of dividends and deferred financing costs.

 

Common Stock Dividends

 

Since July 2016, our Board had declared cash dividends on our common stock as summarized in the following table.

1Includes dividends on granted LTIP units and OP Units issued to third parties.
2This amount was accrued as of September 30, 2017 and paid on October 9, 2017. For additional details refer to Note 11 – “Subsequent Events.”

 

- 31 -

 

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we paid total dividends in the amount of $10,815,248, consisting of the dividends declared for the fourth quarter of 2016 through the second quarter of 2017. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we paid total dividends in the amount of $285,703.

 

The amount of the dividends paid to our stockholders is determined by our Board and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of dividends, our financial condition and capital expenditure requirements except that, in accordance with our organizational documents and Maryland law, we may not make dividend distributions that would: (i) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; (ii) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus senior liquidation preferences; or (iii) jeopardize our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

 

The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividend payments only when, as and if declared by the Board (or a duly authorized committee of the Board. Any such dividends will accrue or be payable in cash from the original issue date, on a cumulative basis, quarterly in arrears on each dividend payment date. Additionally, the terms specify that dividends will be payable at a fixed rate per annum equal to 7.50% of the liquidation preference of $25 per share (equivalent to $1.875 per share on an annual basis). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be cumulative and will accrue whether or not funds are legally available for the payment of those dividends, whether or not the Company has earnings and whether or not those dividends are authorized.

 

The quarterly dividend payment dates on the Series A Preferred Stock are January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year, commencing on October 31, 2017. The initial dividend is scheduled to be paid on October 31, 2017 to holders of record as of October 15, 2017, and will be a pro rata dividend from, and including, the original issue date to, and including, October 30, 2017, in the pro rata amount of $0.2396 per share for a total dividend amount of $743,598. Refer to Note 11 – “Subsequent Events” for additional information regarding this dividend payment.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Funds from operations (“FFO”), Adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), and Normalized AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the SEC. The Company considers FFO, AFFO, and Normalized AFFO to be important supplemental measures of its operating performance and believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. In accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”) definition, FFO means net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP before non-controlling interests of holders of operating partnership units, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company did not incur any gains or losses from the sales of property or record any adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures during the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. Because FFO excludes real estate related depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of deferred financing costs), the Company believes that FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from the closest GAAP measurement, net income or loss.

 

AFFO is a non-GAAP measure used by many investors and analysts to measure a real estate company’s operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations. Management calculates AFFO by modifying the NAREIT computation of FFO by adjusting it for certain cash and non-cash items and certain recurring and non-recurring items. For the Company these items include recurring acquisition and disposition costs, loss on the extinguishment of debt, recurring straight line deferred rental revenue, recurring stock-based compensation expense, recurring amortization of deferred financing costs, recurring capital expenditures, recurring lease commissions, recurring tenant improvements, an advisory fee settled with the issuance of OP Units, and other items.

 

Management calculates Normalized AFFO, which is also a non-GAAP financial measure, by modifying AFFO by adjusting for non-recurring income and expenses. For the Company these items include the costs of establishing a system of Sarbanes-Oxley compliant internal controls and procedures and the portion of our General Counsel and Secretary’s salary for 2017 that is reimbursable by the Company to the Advisor (such reimbursement obligation expires on May 8, 2018).

 

Management believes that reporting AFFO in addition to FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investment community to use when evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a comparative basis. Management also considers Normalized AFFO to be a useful measure to evaluate the Company’s operating results excluding non-recurring income and expenses. Normalized AFFO can help investors compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies. The Company’s FFO, AFFO, and Normalized AFFO computations may not be comparable to FFO, AFFO, and Normalized AFFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than the Company does or that compute FFO, AFFO, and Normalized AFFO in a different manner.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

 

Inflation

 

Historically, inflation has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our healthcare facilities. Many of our triple-net lease agreements contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions include clauses that enable us to receive payment of increased rent pursuant to escalation clauses which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. These escalation clauses often provide for fixed rent increases or indexed escalations (based upon the consumer price index or other measures). However, some of these contractual rent increases may be less than the actual rate of inflation. Most of our triple-net lease agreements require the tenant-operator to pay an allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This requirement reduces our exposure to increases in these costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this Item 3.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer (our Chief Executive Officer) and principal financial officer (our Chief Financial Officer) as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (our “CFO”) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Even with effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, there is no assurance that errors or fraud will not occur in connection with a company’s disclosure or in its financial reporting. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Company concluded that it had a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting due to lack of segregation of duties in multiple areas within the Company. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis.

 

Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, the Company began to undertake remedial measures to address the material weakness in its internal controls. To begin the remediation process, the Company engaged an independent consulting firm that specializes in compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act to undertake a full review and evaluation of our personnel levels, key processes, and procedures and to complete documentation that can be monitored and independently tested. During the first and second quarters of 2017, each department of the Company conducted a thorough review of its control processes and updated all of its internal controls. In the third quarter of 2017, the Company (i) hired a new Chief Financial Officer who has extensive experience with internal controls over financial reporting (ii) added a new staff member to its accounting team both increasing the capacity of the team and enhancing segregation of duties, and (iii) finalized each department’s control narratives and internal controls, necessary to begin testing internal controls over financial reporting.

 

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

 We are not involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation and, to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.
