Explanatory Note

This Quarterly Report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 of Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (“HTA”), a Maryland corporation, and Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP (“HTALP”), a Delaware limited partnership. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this Quarterly Report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” or “our Company” refer to HTA and HTALP, collectively, and all references to “common stock” shall refer to the Class A common stock of HTA.

HTA operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and is the general partner of HTALP. As of September 30, 2016, HTA owned a 97.0% partnership interest in HTALP, and other limited partners, including some of HTA’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates, owned the remaining partnership interest (including the long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units) in HTALP. As the sole general partner of HTALP, HTA has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for HTALP’s day-to-day management and control, including its compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filing requirements.

We believe it is important to understand the few differences between HTA and HTALP in the context of how we operate as an integrated consolidated company. HTA operates in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which HTALP and its subsidiaries hold substantially all of the assets. HTA’s only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of HTALP. As a result, HTA does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of HTALP, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debts of HTALP. HTALP conducts the operations of the business and issues publicly-traded debt, but has no publicly-traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by HTA, which are generally contributed to HTALP in exchange for partnership units of HTALP, HTALP generates the capital required for the business through its operations and by direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of its partnership units.

Noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the primary areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of HTA and HTALP. Limited partnership units in HTALP are accounted for as partners’ capital in HTALP’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and as noncontrolling interest reflected within equity in HTA’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The differences between HTA’s stockholders’ equity and HTALP’s partners’ capital are due to the differences in the equity issued by HTA and HTALP, respectively.

The Company believes combining the Quarterly Reports of HTA and HTALP, including the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, into this single Quarterly Report results in the following benefits:


•	enhances stockholders’ understanding of HTA and HTALP by enabling stockholders to view the business as a whole in the same manner that management views and operates the business;


•	eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure in this Quarterly Report applies to both HTA and HTALP; and


•	creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of a single combined Quarterly Report instead of two separate Quarterly Reports.

In order to highlight the material differences between HTA and HTALP, this Quarterly Report includes sections that separately present and discuss areas that are materially different between HTA and HTALP, including:


•	the condensed consolidated financial statements;


•	certain accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, including Note 7 - Debt, Note 10 - Stockholders’ Equity and Partners’ Capital, Note 12 - Per Share Data of HTA and Note 13 - Per Unit Data of HTALP;


•	the Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Normalized FFO in Part 1, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report;


•	the controls and procedures in Part 1, Item 4 of this Quarterly Report; and


•	the certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer included as Exhibits 31 and 32 to this Quarterly Report.

In the sections of this Quarterly Report that combine disclosure for HTA and HTALP, this Quarterly Report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although HTALP (directly or indirectly through one of its subsidiaries) is generally the entity that enters into contracts, holds assets and issues or incurs debt, management believes this presentation is appropriate for the reasons set forth above and because the business of the Company is a single integrated enterprise operated through HTALP.

Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise the use of the words “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. and Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP, collectively.

1. Organization and Description of Business

HTA, a Maryland corporation, and HTALP, a Delaware limited partnership, were incorporated or formed, as applicable, on April 20, 2006. HTA operates as a REIT and is the general partner of HTALP, which is the operating partnership. As of September 30, 2016, HTA owned a 97.0% partnership interest and other limited partners, including some of HTA’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates, owned the remaining partnership interest (including the LTIP units) in HTALP. As the sole general partner of HTALP, HTA has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for HTALP’s day-to-day management and control. HTA operates in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which HTALP and its subsidiaries hold substantially all of the assets. HTA’s only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of HTALP. As a result, HTA does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of HTALP, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debts of HTALP. HTALP conducts the operations of the business and issues publicly-traded debt, but has no publicly-traded equity.

HTA is one of the largest publicly-traded REITs focused on medical office buildings (“MOBs”) in the United States based on gross leasable area (“GLA”). HTA conducts substantially all of its operations through HTALP. We invest in MOBs that will serve the future of healthcare delivery, and these MOBs are primarily located on health system campuses, near university medical centers, or in core community outpatient locations. We also focus on our key markets that have certain demographic and macro-economic trends and where we can utilize our institutional property management and leasing platform to generate strong tenant relationships and operating cost efficiencies. Our primary objective is to maximize stockholder value with disciplined growth through strategic investments that provide an attractive risk-adjusted return for our stockholders by consistently increasing our cash flow. In pursuing this objective, we: (i) seek internal growth through proactive asset management, leasing and property management oversight; (ii) target accretive acquisitions of MOBs in markets with attractive demographics that complement our existing portfolio; and (iii) actively manage our balance sheet to maintain flexibility with conservative leverage. HTA has qualified to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and intends to continue to be taxed as a REIT.

Since 2006, we have invested $4.2 billion to create a portfolio of MOBs and other healthcare assets consisting of approximately 17.6 million square feet of GLA throughout the U.S. As of September 30, 2016, approximately 97% of our portfolio, based on GLA, was located on the campuses of, or aligned with, nationally or regionally recognized healthcare systems. Our portfolio is diversified geographically across 31 states, with no state having more than 13% of our total GLA as of September 30, 2016. We are concentrated in 20 to 25 key markets that are experiencing higher economic and demographic trends, than other markets, on average, that we expect will drive demand for MOBs. Approximately 92% of our portfolio, based on GLA, is located in top 75 metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”) including concentrations in: Albany, Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Charleston, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Greenville, Hartford/New Haven, Honolulu, Houston, Indianapolis, Miami, Orange County/Los Angeles, Orlando, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Tampa and White Plains.

Our principal executive offices are located at 16435 North Scottsdale Road, Suite 320, Scottsdale, Arizona, 85254.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding our condensed consolidated financial statements. Such condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are the representations of our management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries and any consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Interim Unaudited Financial Data

Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with GAAP in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; such results may be less favorable for the full year. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, except as noted below regarding the adoption of U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis and ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.

Principles of Consolidation

As of January 1, 2016, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, as described below in “Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements”, which simplifies consolidation accounting by reducing the number of consolidation models and changing various aspects of current GAAP, including certain consolidation criteria for VIEs. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts of those of our subsidiaries and consolidated joint venture arrangements. The portions of the operating partnership not owned by us are presented as non-controlling interests in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, consolidated statements of equity, and consolidated statements of changes in partners’ capital. The portions of other joint venture arrangements not owned by us are presented as redeemable non-controlling interests in our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, as described in Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business, certain third parties have been issued limited partner units in HTALP (“OP Units”). Holders of OP Units are considered to be non-controlling interest holders in HTALP and their ownership interests are reflected as equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Further, a portion of the earnings and losses of HTALP are allocated to non-controlling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to common stock, any difference between the fair value of common shares issued and the carrying value of the OP Units converted is recorded as a component of equity. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were approximately 4.3 million and 1.9 million, respectively, of OP Units issued and outstanding.

VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors, as a group, lack one of the following: (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity; and (iii) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. We consolidate our investment in VIEs when we determine that we are the primary beneficiary. A primary beneficiary is one that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. Our analysis of FASB ASU 2015-02 was concluded that our operating partnership and other joint venture arrangements are VIEs, as the limited partners in the related partnerships, although entitled to vote on certain matters, do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Accordingly, we consolidate our interest in the operating partnership and other joint venture arrangements. Although, as we hold what is deemed a majority voting interest in the operating partnership and other joint venture arrangements, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain of the disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs. We will evaluate on an ongoing basis the need to consolidate entities based on the standards set forth in GAAP as described above.

Investments in Real Estate

Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $31.1 million and $26.9 million, respectively. Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $86.6 million and $74.9 million, respectively.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (i.e., payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 along with the ability to early adopt as of the original effective date. We do not anticipate early adoption and we are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. The amendments in ASU 2015-02 affect the following areas: (i) limited partnerships and similar legal entities; (ii) evaluating fees paid to a decision maker or a service provider as a variable interest; (iii) the effect of fee arrangements on the primary beneficiary determination; (iv) the effect of related parties on the primary beneficiary determination; and (v) certain investment funds. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2015-02 as of January 1, 2016. The adoption had no material impact on our interests in joint venture arrangements. Accordingly, there was no material impact on previous or current reporting periods’ consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring these costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 to include the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements. ASU 2015-03 and 2015-15 are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and requires retrospective application with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2015-03 and 2015-15 as of December 31, 2015. As a result of the adoption, all deferred financing costs, excluding costs related to the unsecured revolving credit facility, were reclassed to debt. Unsecured revolving credit facility costs remain classified as an asset on our consolidated balance sheets and will continue to be amortized over the remaining term. The guidance requires retrospective adoption for all prior periods presented.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination has to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amount of the adjustment, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted ASU 2015-16 as of January 1, 2016. As a result of the adoption there was no material impact in the previous or current reporting periods’ consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 will supersede the existing guidance for lease accounting and states that companies will be required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand the nature of the entity’s leasing activities, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. Within ASU 2016-02 lessor accounting remained fairly unchanged. In adopting ASU 2016-02, companies will be required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. We do not anticipate early adoption, however, we are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Compensation Accounting. ASU 2016-09 includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of accounting for share-based compensation which includes, but is not limited to, the requirement that excess tax benefits be recorded within the income statement as opposed to additional paid-in-capital and treated as an operating activity within the statement of cash flows. In addition, ASU 2016-09 allows companies to make an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. We do not anticipate early adoption, however, we are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other such commitments. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial statement assets measured at an amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We do not anticipate early adoption, however, we are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 includes multiple provisions intended to clarify various aspects of cash flow presentation by making eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We do not anticipate early adoption, however, we are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Investments in Real Estate

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our investments had an aggregate purchase price of $633.0 million. We incurred $2.5 million of costs attributable to these investments, which were recorded in acquisition-related expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As part of the acquisitions, we assumed mortgage loans with an aggregate fair value of $20.0 million and issued 2,650,409 OP Units with a market value at the time of issuance of $71.8 million.

The following investments were determined to be individually not significant, but significant on a collective basis. The actual revenues and earnings since the investment dates as well as the supplementary proforma information assuming these investments occurred as of the beginning of the prior periods, were not material to us. The purchase price allocation for each of our investments are preliminary and subject to change until allocations are finalized, which will be no later than 12 months from the date of acquisition. The preliminary allocations for these investments are set forth below in the aggregate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

Subsequent to September 30, 2016, we completed an investment with a purchase price of $7.2 million. The purchase price of this building was subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Due to the recent timing of the acquisition of this investment, we have not completed our initial purchase price allocation with respect to this investment and, therefore, cannot provide disclosures at this time similar to those contained in Note 3 - Investments in Real Estate to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Unsecured Credit Agreement

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On February 11, 2015, we executed an amendment to the unsecured revolving credit and term loan facility (the “Unsecured Credit Agreement”) which increased the amount available under the unsecured revolving credit facility to $850.0 million. The actual amount of credit available to us is a function of certain loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios set forth in the unsecured revolving credit facility. The maximum principal amount of the unsecured revolving credit facility may be increased, subject to additional financing being provided by our existing lenders or new lenders being added to the unsecured revolving credit facility. The unsecured revolving credit facility matures on January 31, 2020 and is guaranteed by HTA.

Borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility accrue interest at a rate equal to adjusted LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 0.88% to 1.55% per annum based on our credit rating. We also pay a facility fee ranging from 0.13% to 0.30% per annum on the aggregate commitments under the unsecured revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2016, the margin associated with our borrowings was 1.05% per annum and the facility fee was 0.20% per annum.

We are required by the terms of our applicable debt agreements to meet various affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for these types of facilities, such as limitations on the incurrence of debt by us and our subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets, limitations on the nature of HTALP’s business, and limitations on distributions by HTALP and its subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets. Our debt agreements also impose various financial covenants on us, such as a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a minimum tangible net worth covenant, a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value, rent coverage ratios and a minimum ratio of unencumbered net operating income to unsecured interest expense. As of September 30, 2016, we believe that we were in compliance with all such financial covenants and reporting requirements. In addition, certain of our debt agreements include events of default provisions that we believe are customary for these types of facilities, including restricting HTA from making dividend distributions to its stockholders in the event HTA is in default thereunder, except to the extent necessary for HTA to maintain its REIT status.

There were no derivatives offset in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had derivatives subject to enforceable master netting arrangements which allowed for net cash settlement with the respective counterparties (in thousands):

We have agreements with each of our interest rate swap derivative counterparties which provide that if we default on certain of our unsecured indebtedness, our counterparties could declare us in default on our interest rate swap derivative obligations resulting in an acceleration of the indebtedness. In addition, we are exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by our derivative counterparties. We believe we mitigate the credit risk by entering into agreements with credit-worthy counterparties. We record counterparty credit risk valuation adjustments on interest rate swap derivative assets in order to properly reflect the credit quality of the counterparty. In addition, our fair value of interest rate swap derivative liabilities is adjusted to reflect the impact of our credit quality. As of September 30, 2016, there have been no termination events or events of default related to our interest rate swaps.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

We are not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us, which if determined unfavorably to us, would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

We follow the policy of monitoring our properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist at our properties, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to our properties that would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Further, we are not aware of any material environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability at our properties that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

Other

Our other commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations of real estate owners and operators in the normal course of business. In our opinion, these matters are not expected to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

10. Stockholders’ Equity and Partners’ Capital

HTALP’s partnership agreement provides that it will distribute cash flow from operations and net sale proceeds to its partners in accordance with their overall ownership interests at such times and in such amounts as the general partner determines. Dividend distributions are made such that a holder of one partnership unit in HTALP will receive distributions from HTALP in an amount equal to the dividend distributions paid to the holder of one share of HTA’s common stock. In addition, for each share of common stock issued or redeemed by HTA, HTALP issues or redeems a corresponding number of partnership units.

Incentive Plan

HTA’s Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) permits the grant of incentive awards to our employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants as selected by our Board of Directors. The Plan authorizes the granting of awards in any of the following forms: options; stock appreciation rights; restricted stock; restricted or deferred stock units; performance awards; dividend equivalents; other stock-based awards, including units in HTALP; and cash-based awards.

Financial Instruments Reported at Fair Value - Non-Recurring

As of September 30, 2016, there were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The table below presents our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2015, aggregated by the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):



	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
MOB⁽¹⁾	$	—	$	547	$	—	$	547

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2015, we recognized a $0.9 million impairment charge to the carrying value of an MOB. The estimated fair value as of December 31, 2015 was based upon a pending sales agreement pertaining to this MOB.

There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between levels. We will record any such transfers at the end of the reporting period in which a change of event occurs that results in a transfer. Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our interest rate swap derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with these instruments utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our interest rate swap derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to their overall valuation. As a result, we have determined that our interest rate swap derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Instruments Disclosed at Fair Value

We consider the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, tenant and other receivables, restricted cash and escrow deposits and accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, to approximate fair value for these financial instruments because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. All of these financial instruments are considered Level 2.

The fair value of debt is estimated using borrowing rates available to us with similar terms and maturities, which is considered a Level 2 input. As of September 30, 2016, the fair value of the debt was $1,781.6 million compared to the carrying value of $1,712.6 million. As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of the debt was $1,619.7 million compared to the carrying value of $1,590.7 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)). Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, prospects and estimates regarding future MOB market performance. Additionally, such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially and in adverse ways from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of such terms as “expect,” “project,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “opinion,” “predict,” “potential,” “pro forma” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this Quarterly Report is filed with the SEC. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

Any such forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events, are subject to unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, provide dividends to stockholders and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered. Factors that might impair our ability to meet such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein.

Table of Contents

Forward-looking statements express expectations of future events. All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on various expectations and assumptions concerning future events and they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected. Due to these inherent uncertainties, our stockholders are urged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. In addition, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to projections over time, except as required by law.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning us and our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.

Executive Summary

HTA is one of the largest publicly-traded REITs focused on MOBs in the U.S. based on the GLA of its MOBs. HTA conducts substantially all of its operations through HTALP. We invest in MOBs that will serve the future of healthcare delivery, and these MOBs are primarily located on health system campuses, near university medical centers, or in core community outpatient locations. We also focus on our key markets that have certain demographic and macro-economic trends and where we can utilize our institutional property management and leasing platform to generate strong tenant relationships and operating cost efficiencies. Our primary objective is to maximize stockholder value with disciplined growth through strategic investments that provide an attractive risk-adjusted return for our stockholders by consistently increasing our cash flow. In pursuing this objective, we: (i) seek internal growth through proactive asset management, leasing and property management oversight; (ii) target accretive acquisitions of MOBs in markets with attractive demographics that complement our existing portfolio; and (iii) actively manage our balance sheet to maintain flexibility with conservative leverage.

Since 2006, we have invested $4.2 billion to create a portfolio of MOBs and other healthcare assets consisting of approximately 17.6 million square feet of GLA throughout the U.S. As of September 30, 2016, approximately 97% of our portfolio, based on GLA, was located on the campuses of, or aligned with, nationally or regionally recognized healthcare systems. Our portfolio is diversified geographically across 31 states, with no state having more than 13% of our total GLA as of September 30, 2016. We are concentrated in 20 to 25 key markets that are experiencing higher economic and demographic trends, than other markets, on average, that we expect will drive demand for MOBs. Approximately 92% of our portfolio, based on GLA, is located in top 75 MSAs including concentrations in: Albany, Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Charleston, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Greenville, Hartford/New Haven, Honolulu, Houston, Indianapolis, Miami, Orange County/Los Angeles, Orlando, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Tampa and White Plains.

Company Highlights

Portfolio Operating Performance

•

Tenant retention for the Same-Property portfolio was 67% and 79%, which included approximately 309,000 and 932,000 square feet of expiring leases, for the quarter and year to date, respectively, which we believe is indicative of our commitment to maintaining buildings in desirable locations and fostering strong tenant relationships. Tenant retention for the Same-Property portfolio, excluding the impact of the Forest Park Medical Center hospital leases, was 84% by GLA for the quarter and year to date. Tenant retention is defined as the sum of the total leased GLA of tenants that renewed a lease during the period over the total GLA of leases that renewed or expired during the period.


•	As of September 30, 2016, our in-house property management and leasing platform operated approximately 16.0 million square feet of GLA, or 91% of our total portfolio.

Critical Accounting Policies

The complete list of our critical accounting policies was disclosed in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed herein.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued or adopted accounting pronouncements.

Factors Which May Influence Results of Operations

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally and the risk factors previously listed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors, in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the investment, management and operation of our properties.

Rental Income

The amount of rental income generated by our properties depends principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space that will become available from unscheduled lease terminations at the then applicable rental rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental income in future periods.

Investment Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we had investments with an aggregate purchase price of $633.0 million and a disposition with a gross sales price of $26.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had investments with an aggregate purchase price of $254.6 million and dispositions with an aggregate gross sales price of $35.7 million. The amount of any future acquisitions or dispositions could have a significant impact on our results of operations in future periods.

As of September 30, 2016, we owned and operated approximately 17.6 million square feet of GLA, with a 91.8% leased rate (includes leases which have been executed, but which have not yet commenced) and a 91.3% occupancy rate. As of September 30, 2015, we owned and operated approximately 15.3 million square feet of GLA, with a 92.0% leased rate (includes leases which have been executed, but which have not yet commenced) and a 91.2% occupancy rate. All explanations are applicable to both HTA and HTALP unless otherwise noted.

Contractual rental income, which includes expense reimbursements, increased $13.8 million and $36.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. These increases were primarily due to $15.3 million and $39.5 million of additional contractual rental income from our 2015 and 2016 acquisitions (including properties owned in both periods) and contractual rent increases, partially offset by a decrease in contractual rent as a result of buildings we sold during 2015 and 2016 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Average starting and ending annual base rents and square feet entered into for new and renewal leases consist of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (in square feet and per square foot of GLA):

Rental Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, rental expenses attributable to our properties were $36.9 million and $32.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, rental expenses attributable to our properties were $105.3 million and $92.9 million, respectively. These increases in rental expenses were primarily due to $5.9 million and $18.0 million of additional rental expenses associated with our 2015 and 2016 acquisitions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, partially offset by improved operating efficiencies and a decrease in rental expenses as a result of the buildings we sold during 2015 and 2016.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, general and administrative expenses were $7.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, general and administrative expenses were $20.9 million and $19.2 million, respectively. These increases in general and administrative expenses were primarily due to the increase in non-cash compensation expense. General and administrative expenses include such costs as salaries, corporate overhead and professional fees, among other items.

Acquisition-Related Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, acquisition-related expenses were $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, acquisition-related expenses were $5.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively. These increases in acquisition-related expenses were primarily due to increased acquisition activity during 2016.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, depreciation and amortization expense was $47.9 million and $40.5 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, depreciation and amortization expense was $130.4 million and $115.2 million, respectively. These increases in depreciation and amortization expense were primarily due to the increase in the size of our portfolio.

Interest Expense and Net Change in Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest expense excluding the impact of the net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments increased by $2.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily the result of higher average debt outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of partially funding our investments over the last 12 months with debt and a change in the composition of debt, driven by an increase in long-term senior unsecured notes, including the $350.0 million 10-year senior unsecured notes issued in July 2016 at a coupon rate of 3.50%, offset by a reduction in the aggregate variable unsecured revolving credit facility borrowings and mortgage loans outstanding. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the fair market value of our derivatives increased $1.3 million, compared to a net decrease of $2.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Interest expense excluding the impact of the net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments increased by $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily the result of higher average debt outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of partially funding our investments over the last 12 months with debt and a change in the composition of debt, driven by an increase in long-term senior unsecured notes, including the $350.0 million 10-year senior unsecured notes issued in July 2016 at a coupon rate of 3.50%, offset by a reduction in the aggregate variable unsecured revolving credit facility borrowings and mortgage loans outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the fair market value of our derivatives decreased $2.1 million, compared to a net decrease of $3.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

To achieve our objectives, we borrow at both fixed and variable rates. We also enter into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to interest rate movements.

Gain on Sales of Real Estate

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we realized a gain of $4.2 million on the disposition of four senior care facilities. We did not have any dispositions during the three months ended September 30, 2016. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we realized a gain of $0.2 million from the disposition of six MOBs.

NOI and Same-Property Cash NOI

NOI increased $10.4 million to $81.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. NOI increased $24.7 million to $233.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. These increases were primarily due to $10.8 million and $25.6 million of additional NOI from our 2015 and 2016 acquisitions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in NOI as a result of the buildings we sold during 2015 and 2016 and a reduction in straight-line rent from properties we owned more than a year.

Same-Property Cash NOI increased $2.2 million to $68.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. Same-Property Cash NOI increased $5.6 million to $192.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. These increases were primarily the result of rent escalations, an increase in average occupancy and improved operating efficiencies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

FFO and Normalized FFO

We compute FFO in accordance with the current standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate property and impairment write-downs of depreciable assets, plus depreciation and amortization related to investments in real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We present this non-GAAP financial measure because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Historical cost accounting assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen based on market conditions, many industry investors have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, among other items, it provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/

Table of Contents

unitholders.

We also compute Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO: (i) acquisition-related expenses; (ii) gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative financial instruments; (iii) gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) noncontrolling income or loss from partnership units included in diluted shares (only applicable to HTA); and (v) other normalizing items, which include items that are unusual and infrequent in nature. We present this non-GAAP financial measure because it allows for the comparison of our operating performance to other REITs and between periods on a consistent basis. Our methodology for calculating Normalized FFO may be different from the methods utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other REITs. Normalized FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, nor is it indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Normalized FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

The amounts included in the calculation of FFO and Normalized FFO are generally the same for HTALP and HTA, except for net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders, noncontrolling income or loss from partnership units included in diluted shares (only applicable to HTA) and the weighted average shares of HTA common stock or HTALP partnership units outstanding.

The following is the reconciliation of HTA’s FFO and Normalized FFO to net income attributable to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands, except per share data):

NOI, Cash NOI and Same-Property Cash NOI

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) before: (i) general and administrative expenses; (ii) acquisition-related expenses; (iii) depreciation and amortization expense; (iv) impairment; (v) interest expense and net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments; (vi) gain or loss on sales of real estate; (vii) gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; and (viii) other income or expense. We believe that NOI provides an accurate measure of the operating performance of our operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with the management of our properties. Additionally, we believe that NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance of REITs. However, our use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance. NOI should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from NOI: (i) straight-line rent adjustments and (ii) amortization of below and above market leases/leasehold interests and lease termination fees. Contractual base rent, contractual rent increases, contractual rent concessions and changes in occupancy or lease rates upon commencement and expiration of leases are a primary driver of our revenue performance. We believe that Cash NOI, which removes the impact of straight-line rent adjustments, provides another measurement of the operating performance of our operating assets. Additionally, we believe that Cash NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance of REITs. However, our use of the term Cash NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance. Cash NOI should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

To facilitate the comparison of Cash NOI between periods, we calculate comparable amounts for a subset of our owned properties referred to as “Same-Property”. Same-Property Cash NOI excludes properties which have not been owned and operated by us during the entire span of all periods presented, excluding properties intended for disposition in the near term, notes receivable interest income and certain non-routine items. Same-Property Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance. Same-Property Cash NOI should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of cash include: (i) cash flow from operations; (ii) borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility; (iii) net proceeds from the issuances of debt and equity securities; and (iv) proceeds from our dispositions. During the next 12 months our primary uses of cash are expected to include: (i) the funding of acquisitions of MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry; (ii) capital expenditures; (iii) the payment of operating expenses; (iv) debt service payments, including principal payments; and (v) the payment of dividends to our stockholders. We anticipate cash flow from operations, restricted cash and reserve accounts and our unsecured revolving credit facility, if needed, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditures and dividends to stockholders. Investments and maturing indebtedness may require funds from the issuance of debt and/or equity securities or proceeds from sales of real estate.

As of September 30, 2016, we had liquidity of $835.4 million, including $817.5 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facility (includes the impact of $5.5 million of outstanding letters of credit) and $17.9 million of cash and cash equivalents.

As of September 30, 2016, $177.1 million was available for issuance under our $300.0 million ATM program. In addition, we had unencumbered properties with a gross book value of $3.6 billion. The unencumbered properties may be used as collateral to secure additional financings in future periods or to refinance our current debt as it becomes due. Our ability to raise funds from future debt and equity issuances is dependent on our investment grade credit ratings, general economic and market conditions and our operating performance.

When we acquire a property, we prepare a capital plan that contemplates the estimated capital needs of that investment. In addition to operating expenses, capital needs may also include costs of refurbishment, tenant improvements or other major capital expenditures. The capital plan for each investment will be adjusted through ongoing, regular reviews of our portfolio or as necessary to respond to unanticipated additional capital needs. As of September 30, 2016, we estimate that our expenditures for capital improvements for the remainder of 2016 will range from $5.0 million to $10.0 million depending on leasing activity. As of September 30, 2016, we had $7.4 million of restricted cash and reserve accounts for such capital expenditures. We cannot provide assurance, however, that we will not exceed these estimated expenditure levels.

Table of Contents

If we experience lower occupancy levels, reduced rental rates, reduced revenues as a result of asset sales, or increased capital expenditures and leasing costs compared to historical levels due to competitive market conditions for new and renewal leases, the effect would be a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities. If such a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities is realized, we may have a cash flow deficit in subsequent periods. Our estimate of net cash available is based on various assumptions which are difficult to predict, including the levels of our leasing activity and related leasing costs. Any changes in these assumptions could impact our financial results and our ability to fund working capital and unanticipated cash needs.

Cash Flows

The following is a summary of our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016			2015			Change
Cash and cash equivalents - beginning of period	$	13,070		$	10,413		$	2,657
Net cash provided by operating activities	148,257			138,659			9,598
Net cash used in investing activities	(541,080		)	(234,164		)	(306,916		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	397,691			96,238			301,453
Cash and cash equivalents - end of period	$	17,938		$	11,146		$	6,792

Net cash provided by operating activities increased in 2016 primarily due to the impact of our 2015 and 2016 acquisitions, contractual rent increases and improved operating efficiencies, partially offset by our 2015 and 2016 dispositions. We anticipate cash flows from operating activities to increase as a result of the above items and continued leasing activity in our existing portfolio.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash used in investing activities primarily related to the investment in real estate of $532.5 million and capital expenditures of $34.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of real estate of $23.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net cash used in investing activities primarily related to the investment in real estate of $253.1 million and capital expenditures of $17.3 million, partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of real estate of $33.3 million. We anticipate cash flows used in investing activities to increase as we continue to acquire more properties.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash provided by financing activities primarily related to the net proceeds of shares of common stock issued of $418.9 million and proceeds from unsecured senior notes of $347.7 million, partially offset by net payments on our unsecured revolving credit facility of $191.0 million, dividends paid to holders of our common stock of $116.7 million and payments on our secured mortgage loans of $98.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities primarily related to net borrowings of $240.0 million on our Unsecured Credit Agreement and the net proceeds of shares of common stock issued of $44.3 million, partially offset by dividends paid to holders of our common stock of $108.9 million and payments on our mortgage and term loans of $76.1 million.

Dividends

The amount of dividends HTA pays to its stockholders is determined by its Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual dividend distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. HTA has paid monthly or quarterly dividends since February 2007, and if our investments produce sufficient cash flow, we expect to continue to pay dividends to our stockholders. Because our cash available for dividend distributions in any year may be less than 90% of our taxable income for the year, we may obtain the necessary funds through borrowings, issuing new securities or selling assets to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy our dividend distribution requirement. HTA’s organizational documents do not establish a limit on dividends that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. The dividend HTA pays to its stockholders is equal to the distributions received from HTALP in accordance with the terms of HTALP’s partnership agreement. It is HTA’s intention to continue to pay dividends. However, HTA’s Board of Directors may reduce our dividend rate and HTA cannot guarantee the timing and amount of dividends that it may pay in the future, if any.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, HTA paid cash dividends of $116.7 million. In October 2016, HTA paid cash dividends of $42.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. On October 25, 2016, HTA declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share to be paid on January 10, 2017 to stockholders of record of its common stock on January 3, 2017.

Financing

We have historically maintained a low leveraged balance sheet and intend to continue to maintain this structure over the long run. However, our total leverage may fluctuate on a short term basis as we execute our business strategy. As of September 30, 2016, our leverage ratio of debt to capitalization was 26.4%.

As of September 30, 2016, we had debt outstanding of $1.7 billion and the weighted average interest rate was 3.35% per annum, inclusive of the impact of our interest rate swaps. The following is a summary of our unsecured and secured debt. See Note 7 - Debt to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of our debt.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

As of September 30, 2016, $817.5 million was available on our unsecured revolving credit facility. Our unsecured revolving credit facility matures in January 2020. In February 2015, we executed an amendment to the Unsecured Credit Agreement which added an additional lender and increased the amount available under the unsecured revolving credit facility by $50.0 million to $850.0 million. The other existing terms of the Unsecured Credit Agreement were unchanged.

Unsecured Term Loans

As of September 30, 2016, we had $500.0 million of unsecured term loans outstanding, comprised of a $300.0 million term loan under our Unsecured Credit Agreement maturing in 2019 and a $200.0 million unsecured term loan maturing in 2023. The $300.0 million term loan includes a one-year extension exercisable at the option of the borrower, subject to certain conditions.

Unsecured Senior Notes

As of September 30, 2016, we had $950.0 million of unsecured senior notes outstanding, comprised of $300.0 million of unsecured senior notes maturing in 2021, $300.0 million of unsecured senior notes maturing in 2023, and $350.0 million of unsecured senior notes maturing in 2026.

Mortgage Loans

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we made payments of $98.5 million on our mortgage loans and have $1.4 million of principal payments due on current outstanding indebtedness during the remainder of 2016.

Commitments and Contingencies

There have been no material changes from the commitments and contingencies disclosed in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Debt Service Requirements

We are required by the terms of our applicable loan agreements to meet certain financial covenants, such as minimum net worth and liquidity, and reporting requirements, among others. As of September 30, 2016, we believe that we were in compliance with all such covenants and we are not aware of any covenants that we are reasonably likely not to satisfy.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of and during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

We are exposed to inflation risk as income from future long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that protect us from the impact of normal inflation. These provisions include rent escalations, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges and real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot allowance. However, due to the long-term nature of our leases, among other factors, the leases may not reset frequently enough to cover inflation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no material changes in the information regarding market risk that was provided in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The table below presents, as of September 30, 2016, the principal amounts of our fixed and variable debt and the weighted average interest rates, excluding the impact of interest rate swaps, by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes (in thousands, except interest rates):



	Expected Maturity Date
	2016			2017			2018			2019			2020			Thereafter			Total
Fixed rate debt	$	1,197		$	86,281		$	3,283		$	3,461		$	22,673		$	1,042,902		$	1,159,797
Weighted average interest rate on fixed rate debt (per annum)	5.52		%	5.87		%	5.31		%	5.32		%	6.10		%	3.67		%	3.89		%
Variable rate debt	$	236		$	987		$	1,050		$	301,119		$	54,123		$	208,625		$	566,140
Weighted average interest rate on variable rate debt based on forward rates in effect as of September 30, 2016 (per annum)	2.48		%	2.64		%	2.72		%	2.25		%	1.11		%	2.77		%	1.86		%

As of September 30, 2016, we had $1.7 billion fixed and variable rate debt with interest rates ranging from 1.55% to 6.26% per annum and a weighted average interest rate of 3.22% per annum, excluding the impact of interest rate swaps. We had $1,159.8 million (excluding net premium/discount and deferred financing costs) of fixed rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 3.89% per annum and $566.1 million (excluding net premium/discount and deferred financing costs) of variable rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 1.86% per annum as of September 30, 2016, excluding the impact of interest rate swaps.

As of September 30, 2016, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $1,204.7 million and the fair value of our variable rate debt was $576.9 million based upon prevailing market rates as of September 30, 2016.

As of September 30, 2016, we had interest rate swaps outstanding that effectively fix $191.0 million of our variable rate debt. Including the impact of these interest rate swaps, the effective rate on our variable rate and total debt is 2.25% and 3.35% per annum, respectively.

In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our future properties is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of tenants, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe any liability from any reasonably foreseeable disposition of such claims and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, HTA repurchased shares of its common stock as follows:



Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased ^{(1) (2)}	Average Price Paid per Share ^{(1) (2)}		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plan or Program	Maximum Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
July 1, 2016 to July 31, 2016	940	$	32.51	—	—
August 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016	1,534	34.05		—	—
September 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016	1,699	32.50		—	—

(1) Purchases mainly represent shares withheld to satisfy withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares. The price paid per share was the then closing price of our common stock on the NYSE.
(2) For each share of common stock redeemed by HTA, HTALP redeems a corresponding number of units in the operating partnership. Therefore, the units in the operating partnership repurchased by HTALP are the same as the shares of common stock repurchased by HTA as shown above.
