Accounting Pronouncement

Description

Effective Date

Effect on financial statements

ASU 2017-01
Business Combinations:
Clarifying the Definition of a Business
(Issued January 2017)

ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation.

ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.

We adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. We expect that the majority of our future investments in real estate will be accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASU 2017-01. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 will impact how we account for acquisition-related expenses and contingent consideration, which may result in lower acquisition-related expenses and eliminate fair value adjustments related to future contingent consideration arrangements.

Explanatory Note

This Quarterly Report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 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, 2017, HTA owned a 98.0% 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 as 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 (“OP 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.

We believe 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, 2017, HTA owned a 98.0% partnership interest and other limited partners, including some of our 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 the largest publicly-traded REIT focused on medical office buildings (“MOBs”) in the U.S. as measured by the gross leasable area (“GLA”) of our MOBs. HTA conducts substantially all of its operations through HTALP. We invest in MOBs that we believe will serve the future of healthcare delivery, and MOBs that 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 and developments 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. Additionally, from time to time we consider, on an opportunistic basis, significant portfolio acquisitions that we believe fit our core business and could enhance our existing portfolio. 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 $7.0 billion to create a portfolio of MOBs and other healthcare assets consisting of approximately 24.2 million square feet of GLA throughout the U.S. As of September 30, 2017, our portfolio included $2.24 billion of investments, net of development credits received at closing, in connection with our acquisition of the Duke MOB business (the “Duke Acquisition”), which includes a 50% ownership interest in an unconsolidated joint venture for $68.8 million as of the date of acquisition. Our only remaining obligations related to the Duke Acquisition are the potential acquisition of a land parcel in Miami, FL and a single property in Texas that are each currently excluded from our purchase obligations due to current outstanding physical condition issues.

As of September 30, 2017, approximately 96% 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 33 states, with no state having more than 19% of our total GLA as of September 30, 2017. 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 the top 75 metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”) with Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston and Tampa being our largest markets by investment.

Our principal executive office is 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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries and consolidated joint venture arrangements. The portions of the HTALP operating partnership not owned by us are presented as non-controlling interests in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss, 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 OP Units in HTALP. Holders of OP Units are considered to be noncontrolling 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 noncontrolling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to common stock, any difference between the fair value of the common stock issued and the carrying value of the OP Units converted to common stock is recorded as a component of equity. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were approximately 4.1 million and 4.3 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. The HTALP operating partnership and our other joint venture arrangements are VIEs because the limited partners in those partnerships, although entitled to vote on certain matters, do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Additionally, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of our VIEs. Accordingly, we consolidate our interests in the HTALP operating partnership and in our other joint venture arrangements. However, because we hold what is deemed a majority voting interest in the HTALP operating partnership and our other joint venture arrangements, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain 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.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operational policy decisions of the investments. Using the equity method of accounting, the initial investment is recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of the net income or loss and any distributions from the joint venture. As of September 30, 2017, we had a 50% interest in one such investment with a carrying value, maximum exposure to risk, of $68.3 million, which is recorded in investment in unconsolidated joint venture in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We record our share of net income (loss) in income (loss) from unconsolidated joint venture in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized income of $318,000 and $381,000, respectively, from our unconsolidated joint venture.

Investments in Real Estate

Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $49.8 million and $31.1 million, respectively. Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $121.5 million and $86.6 million, respectively.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements:

The following table provides a brief description of recently issued accounting pronouncements:



Accounting Pronouncement	Description	Effective Date	Effect on financial statements
ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Issued May 2014)	ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new five-step 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. Expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding revenue recognition will be required for contracts that are subject to ASU 2014-09. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach.	In August 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 right of early adoption as of the original effective date.	We have identified all of our revenue streams and concluded rental income from leasing arrangements represents a substantial portion of our revenue and is specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09 and will be governed and evaluated with the anticipated adoption of ASU 2016-02 as described below. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, ASU 2014-09 may apply to executory costs and other components of revenue due under leases that are deemed to be non-lease components (such as common area maintenance and other reimbursement revenue), even when the revenue for such activities is not separately stipulated in the lease. In that case, the revenue from these items previously recognized on a straight-line basis under the current lease guidance would be recognized under the new revenue guidance as the related services are delivered. As a result, while total revenue recognized over time would not differ under the new guidance, the recognition pattern would be different. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue recognition for real estate sales is largely based on the transfer of control versus continuing involvement under the current guidance. Upon adoption, there will not be a material impact on our consolidated financial statements since we have historically disposed of the majority of our properties with no future controls or contingencies. We will adopt ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.
ASU 2016-02 Leases (Issued February 2016)	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 are still evaluating the full impact of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements, however, we will adopt ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019 and anticipate that we will elect a practical expedient offered in ASU 2016-02 that allows an entity to not reassess the following upon adoption (elected as a group): (i) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease arrangement; (ii) lease classification related to expired or existing lease arrangements; or (iii) whether costs incurred on expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs. As a result of the adoption, all new or amended leases for which we are the lessee, including corporate and ground leases, that are entered into on or after January 1, 2019, will be recorded on our consolidated financial statements as either financing leases or operating leases with a related right of use asset and lease liability. In addition, we expect that certain executory and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, will need to be accounted for separately from the lease component of the lease. Lease components will continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and certain non-lease components will be accounted for under the new revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09 as mentioned above.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)



Accounting Pronouncement	Description	Effective Date	Effect on financial statements
ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Issued June 2016)	ASU 2016-13 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring more timely 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 fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted.	We do not anticipate early adoption or there to be a material impact, however, we are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Issued August 2016)	ASU 2016-15 clarifies the guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to: (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (vi) distributions received from equity method investees; (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle.	ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.	We will adopt ASU 2016-15 during the fourth quarter of 2017 and apply the standard retrospectively for all periods presented. We will reclass cash payments related to debt prepayment and extinguishment costs from operating activities to financing activities. Based on our initial assessment the other listed provisions will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related notes resulting from the adoption of this standard.
ASU 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (Issued November 2016)	ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.	ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.	We will adopt ASU 2016-18 during the fourth quarter of 2017 and apply the standard retrospectively for all periods presented. Restricted cash and escrow deposits consist primarily of cash escrowed for real estate acquisitions, real estate taxes, property insurance and capital improvements. We will provide a reconciliation of the changes in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and escrow deposits within our consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statement of cash flows.
ASU 2017-05 Other Income: Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets (Issued February 2017)	ASU 2017-05 defines an in-substance nonfinancial asset, unifies guidance related to partial sales of nonfinancial assets, eliminates rules specifically addressing the sales of real estate, removes exception to the financial asset derecognition model and clarifies the accounting for contributions of nonfinancial assets to joint ventures.	ASU 2017-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.	We will adopt ASU 2017-05 as of January 1, 2018.

Unsecured Credit Agreement

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility due 2022

On July 27, 2017, HTALP entered into an amended and restated $1.3 billion unsecured credit agreement (the “Unsecured Credit Agreement”) which increased the amount available under the unsecured revolving credit facility to $1.0 billion and extended the maturities of the unsecured revolving credit facility to June 30, 2022 and for the $300.0 million unsecured term loan referenced below until February 1, 2023. The maximum principal amount of the Unsecured Credit Agreement may be increased by up to $750.0 million, subject to certain conditions, for a total principal amount of $2.05 billion.

Borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility accrue interest at a rate equal to adjusted LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 0.83% 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, 2017, the margin associated with our borrowings was 1.00% per annum and the facility fee was 0.20% per annum.

Unsecured Term Loan due 2023

On July 27, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated Unsecured Credit Agreement as noted above. As part of this agreement, we obtained a $300.0 million unsecured term loan that was guaranteed by us with a maturity date of February 1, 2023. Borrowings under this unsecured term loan accrue interest equal to adjusted LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.75% per annum based on our credit rating. The margin associated with our borrowings as of September 30, 2017 was 1.10% per annum. Including the impact of the interest rate swaps associated with our unsecured term loan, the interest rate was 2.40% per annum, based on our current credit rating. As of September 30, 2017, HTALP had $300.0 million under this unsecured term loan outstanding.

Bridge Loan Facility

In connection with the Duke Acquisition, in May 2017, we entered into a senior unsecured bridge loan facility (the “Bridge Loan Facility”) which provided to us up to $2.47 billion, less the aggregate amount of net proceeds from debt or equity capital raises or a senior term loan facility. The Bridge Loan Facility was made available to us on the closing of the Duke Acquisition and was scheduled to mature 364 days from the closing. In June 2017, we terminated the Bridge Loan Facility and no proceeds were used because we elected to fund the Duke Acquisition through other equity and debt offerings. In connection with the execution and subsequent termination of the Bridge Loan Facility, we incurred $10.4 million in related fees, which we recorded in income (loss) on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We are required by the terms of our applicable loan 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 loan 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, 2017, we believe that we were in compliance with all such financial covenants and reporting requirements. In addition, certain of our loan agreements include events of default provisions that we believe are customary for these types of facilities, including restricting us from making dividend distributions to our stockholders in the event we are in default thereunder, except to the extent necessary for us to maintain our REIT status.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivative Financial Instruments

We may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. We do not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, we only enter into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial relationships. We do not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. 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.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps and treasury locks as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. A treasury lock is a synthetic forward sale of a U.S. treasury note, which is settled in cash based upon the difference between an agreed upon treasury rate and the prevailing treasury rate at settlement. Such treasury locks are entered into to effectively fix the treasury component of an upcoming debt issuance.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded approximately $4,000 and $31,000, respectively, of hedge ineffectiveness in earnings. We designated our derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges in March 2017.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we entered into and settled two treasury locks designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $250.0 million to hedge future fixed rate debt issuances, which fixed the 10-year swap rates at an average rate of 2.26% per annum. Upon settlement of these contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we paid and reported a loss of $0.7 million which was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and a gain of $25,000 which was recorded in the change in fair value of our derivative financial instruments in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable rate debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $0.4 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as an increase to interest related to derivative financial instruments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2017, we had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (in thousands, except number of instruments):



Interest Rate Swaps	September 30, 2017

Non-Designated Hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks, but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly to gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative financial instruments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a gain on change in fair value of derivative financial instruments of $0.9 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we did not record a gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative financial instruments as we did not have any derivative financial instruments classified as non-designated hedges.

The table below presents the fair value of our derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges as well as our classification in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 (in thousands). In March 2017, we designated our derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges. As such, as of March 2017 we did not have derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features

We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision that if we default on any of our indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.

We also have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that incorporate provisions from our indebtedness with a lender affiliate of the derivative counterparty requiring it to maintain certain minimum financial covenant ratios on our indebtedness. Failure to comply with the covenant provisions would result in us being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by these agreements.

As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, including accrued interest, but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was $1.5 million. As of September 30, 2017, we have not posted any collateral related to these agreements and we were not in breach of any of the provisions of these agreements. If we had breached any of these provisions of these agreements, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at an aggregate termination value of $1.5 million at September 30, 2017.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

We engage in litigation from time to time with various parties as a routine part of our business, including tenant defaults. However, 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 operating 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 OP Unit in HTALP will receive distributions from HTALP in an amount equal to the dividend distributions paid to the holder of one share of our common stock. In addition, for each share of common stock issued or redeemed by us, HTALP issues or redeems a corresponding number of OP Units.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we issued $1.7 billion of equity at an average price of $28.70 per share.

Common Stock Offerings

In September 2017, we entered into new equity distribution agreements with our various sales agents with respect to our at-the-market (“ATM”) offering program of common stock with an aggregate sales amount of up to $500.0 million. We contemporaneously terminated our prior ATM equity distribution agreements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and under the previous ATM, we issued and sold 3,998,000 shares of our common stock for $125.7 million of gross proceeds at an average price of $31.45 per share. As of September 30, 2017, $500.0 million remained available for issuance by us under the September 2017 ATM.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we, in connection with the Duke Acquisition, completed an underwritten public offering of 54,625,000 shares of our common stock for $1.6 billion of gross proceeds at a price of $28.50 per share.

Subsequent to September 30, 2017, we issued $200.0 million of common stock under the ATM, including $75.0 million on a forward basis which will be issued over the next six months.

Common Unit Offerings

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we issued 20,687 OP Units in HTALP for approximately $0.6 million in connection with an acquisition transaction.

Subsequent to September 30, 2017, as part of an acquisition, we issued to the seller as a part of the acquisition consideration 16,972 OP Units in HTALP for approximately $0.5 million.

Common Stock Dividends

See our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the dividends declared during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. On October 24, 2017, our Board of Directors announced a quarterly dividend of $0.305 per share of common stock. The dividends are to be paid on January 9, 2018 to stockholders of record of our common stock on January 2, 2018.

Incentive Plan

Our 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 us to grant 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. Subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan, the aggregate number of awards reserved and available for issuance under the Plan is 5,000,000 shares. As of September 30, 2017, there were 1,689,585 awards available for grant under the Plan.

LTIP Units

Awards under the LTIP consist of Series C units in HTALP and were subject to the achievement of certain performance and market conditions in order to vest. Once vested, the Series C units were converted into common units of HTALP, which may be converted into shares of our common stock. The LTIP awards were fully expensed or forfeited in 2015.

The table below presents our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2016, aggregated by the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):



	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
MOB⁽¹⁾	$	—	$	8,191	$	—	$	8,191

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized impairment charges of $1.3 million and $1.8 million to the carrying value of two MOBs. The estimated fair value as of December 31, 2016 for these two MOBs was based upon a pending sales agreement and real estate market comparables.

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, 2017, the fair value of the debt was $2,913.3 million compared to the carrying value of $2,856.8 million. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the debt was $1,784.0 million compared to the carrying value of $1,768.9 million.

12. Per Share Data of HTA

We include unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as “participating securities” pursuant to the two-class method. The resulting classes are our common stock and restricted stock. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, all of our earnings were distributed and the calculated earnings per share amount would be the same for all classes.

The following is the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in basic and diluted earnings per share of HTA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively (in thousands, except per share data):

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.

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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein.

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.

Executive Summary

HTA is the largest publicly-traded REIT focused on MOBs in the U.S. as measured by the GLA of its MOBs. HTA conducts substantially all of its operations through HTALP. We invest in MOBs that we believe will serve the future of healthcare delivery and MOBs that 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 and developments 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. Additionally, from time to time we consider, on an opportunistic basis, significant portfolio acquisitions that we believe fit our core business and could enhance our existing portfolio.

Since 2006, we have invested $7.0 billion to create a portfolio of MOBs and other healthcare assets consisting of approximately 24.2 million square feet of GLA throughout the U.S. As of September 30, 2017, our portfolio included $2.24 billion of investments, net of development credits received at closing in connection with our Duke Acquisition, which includes a 50% ownership interest in an unconsolidated joint venture for $68.8 million as of the date of acquisition. Our only remaining obligations related to the Duke Acquisition are the potential acquisition of a land parcel in Miami, FL and a single property in Texas that are each currently excluded from our purchase obligations due to current outstanding physical condition issues.

As of September 30, 2017, approximately 96% 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 33 states, with no state having more than 19% of our total GLA as of September 30, 2017. 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 the top 75 MSAs with Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston and Tampa being our largest markets by investment.

Internal Growth through Proactive Asset Management Leasing and Property Management

We believe we have the largest operating platform in the medical office space that consists of asset management, leasing and in-house property management which allows us to better manage and service our existing portfolio.


•	As of September 30, 2017, our in-house property management and leasing platform operated approximately 22.2 million square feet of GLA, or 92%, of our total portfolio.


•	As of September 30, 2017, our leased rate (includes leases which have been executed, but which have not yet commenced) was 91.7% by GLA and our occupancy rate was 90.6% by GLA.


•	We entered into new and renewal leases on approximately 745,000 square feet of GLA and 2.0 million square feet of GLA, or 3.1% and 8.4%, respectively, of our portfolio, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

•

Tenant retention for the Same-Property portfolio was 75% and 78%, which included approximately 289,000 square feet of GLA and 1.3 million square feet of GLA 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 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.

Key Market Focused Strategy and Investments

We believe we have been one of the most active investors in the medical office sector over the last decade and have developed a presence across 20 to 25 key markets. In each of these markets, we have established a strong asset management and leasing platform that has allowed us to develop valuable relationships with health systems, physician practices, universities, and regional development firms that have led to investment and leasing opportunities. Our local platforms have also enabled us to focus on generating cost efficiencies as we gain scale across individual markets and regions.


•	As of September 30, 2017, we had an average of 1.1 million square feet of GLA in each of our top ten markets. We expect to establish this scale across 20 to 25 key markets as our portfolio expands.


•	Our key markets represent top MSAs with strong growth metrics in jobs, household income and population, as well as low unemployment and mature healthcare infrastructures. Many of our key markets are also supported by strong university systems.


•	Our investment strategy includes alignment with key healthcare systems, hospitals and leading academic medical universities.

•	Over the last several years, our investments have been focused in our key markets, with the majority of our investments also being located either on the campuses of, or aligned with, nationally and regionally recognized healthcare systems.


•	During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we acquired investments totaling $2.7 billion, including the Duke Acquisition of $2.24 billion, net of development credits we received at closing, which were located substantially in certain of our 20 to 25 key markets.


•	During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we completed the disposition of an MOB located in Texas for a gross sales price of $5.0 million.

Financial Strategy and Balance Sheet Flexibility


•	As of September 30, 2017, we had total leverage, measured by debt to total capitalization, of 31.9%. Total liquidity was $928.9 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $9.4 million and $919.5 million available on our unsecured revolving credit facility (includes the impact of $5.5 million of outstanding letters of credit) as of September 30, 2017.

•

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we issued and sold $1.7 billion of equity at an average price of $28.70 per share. This consisted of $1.6 billion from the sale of common stock in an underwritten public offering at an average price of $28.50 per share, $125.7 million from the sale of common stock under our previous ATM at an average price of $31.45 per share, and $0.6 million from the issuance of OP Units in connection with an acquisition transaction.


•	In September 2017, we entered into new equity distribution agreements with our various sales agents with respect to our ATM offering program of common stock with an aggregate sales amount of up to $500.0 million.


•	In June 2017, we issued in a public offering (i) $400.0 million of 5-year unsecured senior notes, with a coupon of 2.95% per annum and (ii) $500.0 million of 10-year unsecured senior notes, with a coupon of 3.75% per annum.

In addition, as part of the Duke Acquisition, we were required by the seller to execute as the borrower a $286.0 million Promissory Note with an interest rate of 4.0% per annum, maturing in 2020.

•

On July 27, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated $1.3 billion Unsecured Credit Agreement which increased the amount available under the unsecured revolving credit facility to $1.0 billion and extended the maturities of the unsecured revolving credit facility to June 30, 2022 and for the $300.0 million unsecured term loan until February 1, 2023. The interest rate on the unsecured revolving credit facility is adjusted LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.83% to 1.55% per annum based on HTA’s credit rating.


•	On October 24, 2017, our Board of Directors announced a quarterly dividend of $0.305 per share of common stock.

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 2016 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.

As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, we owned and operated approximately 24.2 million and 17.6 million square feet of GLA, respectively, with a leased rate of 91.7% and 91.8%, respectively (includes leases which have been executed, but which have not yet commenced), and an occupancy rate of 90.6% and 91.3%, respectively. All explanations are applicable to both HTA and HTALP unless otherwise noted.

Rental Income

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, rental income was comprised of the following (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,

Table of Contents

Contractual rental income, which includes expense reimbursements, increased $54.9 million and $95.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increases were primarily due to $53.2 million and $94.6 million of additional contractual rental income from our 2016 and 2017 acquisitions (including properties owned during both periods) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and contractual rent increases, partially offset by a decrease in contractual rent as a result of buildings we sold during 2016 and 2017.

Average starting and ending annual base rents for GLA entered into for new and renewal leases consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively (in square feet and per square foot of GLA):



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
New and renewal leases:
Average starting annual base rents	$	22.34	$	25.17	$	22.46	$	22.67
Average ending annual base rents	21.94		24.60		22.47		22.54

Square feet of GLA	745,000		339,000		2,040,000		1,125,000

Lease rates can vary across markets, and lease rates that are considered above or below current market rent may change over time. Leases that expired in 2017 had rents that we believed were at market rates. In general, leasing concessions vary depending on lease type and term.

Tenant improvements, leasing commissions and tenant concessions for new and renewal leases consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively (in per square foot of GLA):



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
New leases:
Tenant improvements	$	17.18	$	20.28	$	18.18	$	21.10
Leasing commissions	1.92		4.91		2.01		4.29

The average term for new and renewal leases executed consisted of the following for three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively (in years):



	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017	2016	2017	2016
New leases	6.2	5.4	5.8	5.4
Renewal leases	5.5	4.5	5.0	4.8

Rental Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, rental expenses attributable to our properties were $56.3 million and $36.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, rental expenses attributable to our properties were $138.9 million and $105.3 million, respectively. The increases in rental expenses were primarily due to $20.9 million and $34.8 million of additional rental expenses associated with our 2016 and 2017 acquisitions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, partially offset by improved operating efficiencies and a decrease in rental expenses as a result of the buildings we sold during 2016 and 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, general and administrative expenses were $8.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, general and administrative expenses were $25.2 million and $20.9 million, respectively. General and administrative expenses include such costs as salaries, corporate overhead and professional fees, among other items.

Transaction Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, transaction expenses were $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, transaction expenses were $5.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The increase in transaction expenses, which have been adjusted to reflect the prospective presentation of the early adoption of ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017, include $4.6 million of compensation and severance payments to Duke employees pursuant to the Duke Purchase Agreements in connection with the Duke Acquisition. As a result of the adoption, a significant portion of these expenses are now capitalized as part of our investment allocations.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, depreciation and amortization expense was $70.5 million and $47.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, depreciation and amortization expense was $172.9 million and $130.4 million, respectively. The increases in depreciation and amortization expense were primarily due to the increase in the size of our portfolio.

Impairment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded an impairment charge of $5.1 million that related to an MOB in our portfolio located in Massachusetts. We did not record any impairment charges for the three months ended September 30, 2017 or the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

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 $9.3 million and $14.2 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increases were primarily the result of higher average debt outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, 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% per annum, the $400.0 million and $500.0 million 5-year and 10-year senior unsecured notes issued in June 2017 at a coupon rate of 2.95% per annum and 3.75% per annum, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, no gain or loss on change in fair value was recorded as we did not have any derivative financial instruments classified as non-designated hedges. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the fair market value of our derivatives had a net increase of $1.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the fair market value of our derivatives increased $0.9 million, compared to a net decrease of $2.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

To achieve our objectives, we borrow at both fixed and variable rates. From time to time, 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 or Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we realized a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we realized a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $11.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to fees we incurred in connection with the execution and our termination of the Bridge Loan Facility as part of the Duke Acquisition.

NOI and Same-Property Cash NOI

NOI increased $38.2 million to $119.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. NOI increased $67.8 million to $301.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These increases were primarily due to $35.5 million and $66.3 million of additional NOI from our 2016 and 2017 acquisitions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in NOI as a result of the buildings we sold during 2016 and 2017, and a reduction in straight-line rent from properties we owned more than a year.

Same-Property Cash NOI increased $2.2 million to $80.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. Same-Property Cash NOI increased $6.6 million to $217.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. 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/unitholders.

We also compute Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO: (i) transaction 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 OP Units included in diluted shares (only applicable to the Company); 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 OP Units included in diluted shares (only applicable to the Company) and the weighted average shares of our common stock or HTALP OP Units outstanding.

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) transaction 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; (viii) income or loss from unconsolidated joint venture; and (ix) 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.

The following is the reconciliation of HTA’s and HTALP’s NOI, Cash NOI and Same-Property Cash NOI to net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively (in thousands):

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: (a) the funding of acquisitions of MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry; (b) capital expenditures; (c) the payment of operating expenses; (d) debt service payments, including principal payments; and (e) 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, 2017, we had liquidity of $928.9 million, including $919.5 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facility (which includes the impact of $5.5 million of outstanding letters of credit) and $9.4 million of cash and cash equivalents.

In addition, we had unencumbered assets with a gross book value of $6.2 billion. The unencumbered properties may be used as collateral to secure additional financings in future periods or 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, 2017, we estimate that our expenditures for capital improvements for the remainder of 2017 will range from $10.0 million to $15.0 million depending on leasing activity. As of September 30, 2017, we had $2.9 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.

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, 2017 and 2016, respectively (in thousands):



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017			2016			Change
Cash and cash equivalents - beginning of period	$	11,231		$	13,070		$	(1,839	)
Net cash provided by operating activities	228,542			148,257			80,285
Net cash used in investing activities	(2,487,471		)	(541,080		)	(1,946,391		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	2,257,108			397,691			1,859,417
Cash and cash equivalents - end of period	$	9,410		$	17,938		$	(8,528	)

Net cash provided by operating activities increased in 2017 primarily due to the impact of our 2016 and 2017 acquisitions, contractual rent increases and improved operating efficiencies, partially offset by our 2016 and 2017 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, 2017, net cash used in investing activities primarily related to the investment in real estate was $2.4 billion, investment in unconsolidated joint venture was $68.8 million, and capital expenditures was $43.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of real estate of $4.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash used in investing activities primarily related to the investment in real estate was $532.5 million and capital expenditures was $34.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of real estate of $23.4 million. We anticipate cash flows used in investing activities to increase as we continue to acquire more properties.

Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities primarily related to the net proceeds of shares of common stock issued was $1.6 billion and net proceeds on the issuance of senior notes was $900.0 million, partially offset by dividends paid to holders of our common stock of $145.9 million and payments on our secured mortgage loans of $75.4 million. 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.

Dividends

The amount of dividends we pay to our stockholders is determined by our Board of Directors, in their 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. We have 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. Our organizational documents do not establish a limit on dividends that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. The dividend we pay to our stockholders is equal to the distributions received from HTALP in accordance with the terms of HTALP’s partnership agreement. It is our intention to continue to pay dividends. However, our Board of Directors may reduce our dividend rate and we cannot guarantee the timing and amount of dividends that it may pay in the future, if any.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we paid cash dividends of $145.9 million. In October 2017, we paid cash dividends of $61.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. On October 24, 2017, our Board of Directors announced a dividend of $0.305 per share of common stock. The dividends are to be paid on January 9, 2018 to stockholders of record of our common stock on January 2, 2018.

Financing

We have historically maintained a low leveraged balance sheet and intend to continue to maintain this structure in the long term. However, our total leverage may fluctuate on a short-term basis as we execute our business strategy. As of September 30, 2017, our leverage ratio, measured by debt to total capitalization, was 31.9%.

As of September 30, 2017, we had debt outstanding of $2.9 billion and the weighted average interest rate therein was 3.44% 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, 2017, $919.5 million was available on our $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. Our unsecured revolving credit facility matures in June 2022.

Unsecured Term Loans

As of September 30, 2017, we had $500.0 million of unsecured term loans outstanding, comprised of $300.0 million under our Unsecured Credit Agreement maturing in 2023, and $200.0 million also maturing in 2023.

Unsecured Senior Notes

As of September 30, 2017, we had $1.85 billion of unsecured senior notes outstanding, comprised of $300.0 million maturing in 2021, $400.0 million maturing in 2022, $300.0 million maturing in 2023, $350.0 million maturing in 2026, and $500.0 million maturing in 2027.

Mortgage Loans

In June 2017, as a part of the Duke Acquisition pursuant to a requirement of the seller, we entered as the borrower a $286.0 million Promissory Note which matures in 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we made payments of $75.4 million on our mortgage loans and have $1.2 million of principal payments due during the remainder of 2017.

Commitments and Contingencies

There have been no material changes from the commitments and contingencies disclosed in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

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, 2017, we believe that we were in compliance with all such covenants and we are not aware of any covenants that it is reasonably likely that we would not be able to meet in accordance with our loan agreements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2017, we have no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The table below presents, as of September 30, 2017, 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
	2017			2018			2019			2020			2021			Thereafter			Total
Fixed rate debt	$	915		$	99,777		$	104,821		$	117,769		$	303,424		$	1,639,147		$	2,265,853
Weighted average interest rate on fixed rate debt (per annum)	5.43		%	4.05		%	4.19		%	4.41		%	3.40		%	3.57		%	3.64		%
Variable rate debt	$	251		$	1,050		$	1,119		$	27,123		$	509		$	583,117		$	613,169
Weighted average interest rate on variable rate debt based on forward rates in effect as of September 30, 2017 (per annum)	3.14		%	3.27		%	3.65		%	3.40		%	4.58		%	3.64		%	2.58		%

As of September 30, 2017, we had $2.9 billion of fixed and variable rate debt with interest rates ranging from 2.30% to 6.39% per annum and a weighted average interest rate of 3.41% per annum, excluding the impact of interest rate swaps. We had $2.3 billion (excluding net premium/discount and deferred financing costs) of fixed rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 3.64% per annum and $613.2 million (excluding net premium/discount and deferred financing costs) of variable rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 2.58% per annum as of September 30, 2017, excluding the impact of interest rate swaps.

As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $2.3 billion and the fair value of our variable rate debt was $615.1 million based upon prevailing market rates as of September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, we had interest rate swaps outstanding that effectively fix $189.8 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 2.70% and 3.44% 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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2016 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, 2017, we repurchased shares of our 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, 2017 to July 31, 2017	—	$	—	—	—
August 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017	2,466	30.64		—	—
September 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017	—	—		—	—

(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 OP Units in the HTALP operating partnership. Therefore, the OP Units in the HTALP operating partnership repurchased by HTALP are the same as the shares of common stock repurchased by HTA as shown above.
