This Annual Report on Form 10-K is for the year ended December 31, 2013. This Annual Report modifies and supersedes documents filed prior to this Annual Report. Information that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in the future will automatically update and supersede information contained in this Annual Report. In this Annual Report, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Trust” refer to Universal Health Realty Income Trust and its subsidiaries.

 

As disclosed in this Annual Report, including in Part I, Item 1.-Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS (UHS of Delaware, Inc.) serves as our Advisor pursuant to the terms of an annually renewable Advisory Agreement dated December 24, 1986. Our officers are all employees of UHS through its wholly-owned subsidiary, UHS of Delaware, Inc. In addition, four of our hospital facilities are leased to subsidiaries of UHS and twelve medical office buildings, including certain properties owned by limited liability companies in which we either hold 100% of the ownership interest or various non-controlling, majority ownership interests, include or will include tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS. Any reference to “UHS” or “UHS facilities” in this report is referring to Universal Health Services, Inc.’s subsidiaries, including UHS of Delaware, Inc.

 

In this Annual Report, the term “revenues” does not include the revenues of the unconsolidated limited liability companies (“LLCs”) in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 95%. We currently account for our share of the income/loss from these investments by the equity method (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein).

Other Information

 

Included in our portfolio at December 31, 2013 are seven hospital facilities with an aggregate investment of $142.0 million. The leases with respect to these hospital facilities comprised approximately 36% of our consolidated revenues in each of 2013 and 2012, and 65% in 2011. The decrease during 2013 and 2012, as compared to 2011, is due primarily to the December, 2011 purchase of the third-party minority ownership interests in eleven LLCs in which we previously held noncontrolling majority ownership interests (we began recording the financial results of the entities in our financial statements on a consolidated basis at that time) and various acquisitions of medical office buildings (“MOBs”) and clinics completed during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. As of December 31, 2013, these leases have fixed terms with an average of 3.4 years remaining and include renewal options ranging from one to five, five-year terms. The remaining lease terms for each hospital facility, which vary by hospital, are included herein in Item 2. Properties.

 

We believe a facility’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and lease rental expense (“EBITDAR”) and a facility’s EBITDAR divided by the sum of minimum rent plus additional rent payable to us (“Coverage Ratio”), which are non-GAAP financial measures, are helpful to us and our investors as a measure of the operating performance of a hospital facility. EBITDAR, which is used as an indicator of a facility’s estimated cash flow generated from operations (before rent expense, capital additions and debt service), is used by us in evaluating a facility’s financial viability and its ability to pay rent. For the hospital facilities owned by us at the end of each respective year, the combined weighted average Coverage Ratio was approximately 6.3 (ranging from 2.5 to 18.5) during 2013, 5.9 (ranging from 2.1 to 14.4) during 2012 and 5.5 (ranging from 1.9 to 13.3) during 2011. The Coverage Ratio for individual facilities varies. See “Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc.” below for Coverage Ratio information related to the four hospital facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the leases for our hospital facilities and the preschool and childcare centers, each lessee, including subsidiaries of UHS, is responsible for building operations, maintenance, renovations and property insurance. We, or the LLCs in which we have invested, are responsible for the building operations, maintenance and renovations of the MOBs, however, a portion, or in some cases all, of the expenses associated with the MOBs are passed on directly to the tenants. Cash reserves have been established to fund required building maintenance and renovations at the multi-tenant MOBs. Lessees are required to maintain all risk, replacement cost and commercial property insurance policies on the leased properties and we, or the LLC in which we have invested, are also named insureds on these policies. In addition, we, UHS or the LLCs in which we have invested, maintain property insurance on all properties. For additional information on the terms of our leases, see “Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc.”

 

See our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for our total assets, liabilities, debt, revenues, income and other operating information.

Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”)

 

Leases:    We commenced operations in 1986 by purchasing properties of certain subsidiaries from UHS and immediately leasing the properties back to the respective subsidiaries. Most of the leases were entered into at the time we commenced operations and provided for initial terms of 13 to 15 years with up to six additional 5-year renewal terms. The current base rentals and lease and rental terms for each facility are provided below. The base rents are paid monthly and each lease also provides for additional or bonus rents which are computed and paid on a quarterly basis based upon a computation that compares current quarter revenue to a corresponding quarter in the base year. The leases with subsidiaries of UHS are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another.

 

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the UHS hospital facilities accounted for approximately 41% of our total revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2013 (approximately 30% for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and 55% for the year ended December 31, 2011). The decrease during 2013 and 2012, as compared to 2011, is due primarily to the December, 2011 purchase of the third-party minority ownership interests in eleven LLCs in which we previously held noncontrolling majority ownership interests and the various acquisitions of MOBs and clinics completed during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, as mentioned above. Including 100% of the revenues generated at the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 95%, the leases on the UHS hospital facilities accounted for approximately 20% of the combined consolidated and unconsolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2013 (approximately 22% for the year ended December 31, 2013, 21% for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 19% for the year ended December 31, 2011). In addition, twelve MOBs, that are either wholly or jointly-owned, include or will include tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS.

 

Pursuant to the Master Lease Document by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 (the “Master Lease”), which governs the leases of all hospital properties with subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the option to renew the leases at the lease terms described below by providing notice to us at least 90 days prior to the termination of the then current term. In addition, UHS has rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for 180 days after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for 180 days after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer. UHS also has the right to purchase the respective leased facilities at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms at the appraised fair market value. In addition, the Master Lease, as amended during 2006, includes a change of control provision whereby UHS has the right, upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, to purchase any or all of the four leased hospital properties listed below at their appraised fair market value.

 

The table below details the existing lease terms and renewal options for each of the UHS hospital facilities, giving effect to the above-mentioned renewals:

Management cannot predict whether the leases with subsidiaries of UHS, which have renewal options at existing lease rates or fair market value lease rates, or any of our other leases, will be renewed at the end of their

lease term. If the leases are not renewed at their current rates or the fair market value lease rates, we would be required to find other operators for those facilities and/or enter into leases on terms potentially less favorable to us than the current leases. The Bridgeway’s lease term is scheduled to expire in December, 2014 and we can provide no assurance that this lease will be renewed at the fair market value lease rate.

 

Advisory Agreement:    UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to us under an Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) dated December 24, 1986. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. All transactions between us and UHS must be approved by the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS (the “Independent Trustees”). In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees, that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. In December of 2013, based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses, as compared to an industry peer group, the Advisory Agreement was renewed for 2014 pursuant to the same terms as the Advisory Agreement in place during 2013. In December of 2012, based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses, as compared to an industry peer group, the 2013 advisory fee, as compared to the 2012 advisory fee, was increased to 0.70% (from 0.65%) of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheet.

 

The average real estate assets for advisory fee calculation purposes exclude certain items from our consolidated balance sheet such as, among other things, accumulated depreciation, cash and cash equivalents, base and bonus rent receivables, deferred charges and other assets. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year-end based upon our audited financial statements. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to an annual incentive fee equal to 20% of the amount by which cash available for distribution to shareholders for each year, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, exceeds 15% of our equity as shown on our consolidated balance sheet, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles without reduction for return of capital dividends. The Advisory Agreement defines cash available for distribution to shareholders as net cash flow from operations less deductions for, among other things, amounts required to discharge our debt and liabilities and reserves for replacement and capital improvements to our properties and investments. No incentive fees were paid during 2013, 2012 or 2011 since the incentive fee requirements were not achieved. Advisory fees incurred and paid (or payable) to UHS amounted to $2.4 million during 2013, $2.1 million during 2012 and $2.0 million during 2011 and were based upon average invested real estate assets of $338 million, $326 million and $309 million during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Officers and Employees:    Our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and although as of December 31, 2013 we had no salaried employees, our officers do typically receive annual stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock. In special circumstances, if warranted and deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, our officers may also receive one-time special compensation awards in the form of restricted stock and/or cash bonuses.

 

Share Ownership:    As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, UHS owned 6.1% and 6.2%, respectively, of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest.

 

SEC reporting requirements of UHS:    UHS is subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC and is required to file annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. Since the leases on the hospital facilities leased to wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS comprised approximately 30% of our consolidated revenues for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and 55% of our consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, and since a subsidiary of

Taxation

 

We believe we have operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we will generally not be subject to federal corporate income taxes on our net income that is currently distributed to shareholders. This treatment substantially eliminates the “double taxation”, i.e., at the corporate and shareholder levels, that usually results from investment in the stock of a corporation.

 

Please see the heading “If we fail to maintain our REIT status, we will become subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates” under “Risk Factors” for more information.

 

Competition

 

We compete for the acquisition, leasing and financing of health care related facilities. Our competitors include, but are not limited to, other REITs, banks and other companies, including UHS. Some of these competitors are larger and may have a lower cost of capital than we do. These developments could result in fewer investment opportunities for us and lower spreads over the cost of our capital, which would hurt our growth.

 

In most geographical areas in which our facilities operate, there are other facilities that provide services comparable to those offered by our facilities. In addition, some competing facilities are owned by tax-supported governmental agencies or by nonprofit corporations and may be supported by endowments and charitable contributions and exempt from property, sales and income taxes. Such exemptions and support are not available to certain operators of our facilities, including UHS. In some markets, certain competing facilities may have greater financial resources, be better equipped and offer a broader range of services than those available at our facilities. Certain hospitals that are located in the areas served by our facilities are specialty hospitals that provide medical, surgical and behavioral health services that may not be provided by the operators of our hospitals. The increase in outpatient treatment and diagnostic facilities, outpatient surgical centers and freestanding ambulatory surgical centers also increases competition for us.

 

In addition, the number and quality of the physicians on a hospital’s staff are important factors in determining a hospital’s success and competitive advantage. Typically, physicians are responsible for making hospital admission decisions and for directing the course of patient treatment. The operators of our facilities also compete with other health care providers in recruiting and retaining qualified hospital management, nurses and other medical personnel. From time-to-time, the operators of our acute care and behavioral health care facilities may experience the effects of a shortage of skilled nursing staff nationwide, which has caused and may continue to cause an increase in salaries, wages and benefits expense in excess of the inflation rate. Our operators may experience difficulties attracting and retaining qualified physicians, nurses and medical support personnel. We anticipate that our operators, including UHS, will continue to encounter increased competition in the future that could lead to a decline in patient volumes and harm their businesses, which in turn, could harm our business.

 

A large portion of our non-hospital properties consist of MOBs which are located either close to or on the campuses of hospital facilities. These properties are either directly or indirectly affected by the factors discussed above as well as general real estate factors such as the supply and demand of office space and market rental rates. To improve our competitive position, we anticipate that we will continue investing in additional healthcare related facilities and leasing the facilities to qualified operators, perhaps including subsidiaries of UHS.

 

Regulation and Other Factors

 

During each of 2013 and 2012, 28% of our revenues were earned pursuant to leases with operators of acute care services hospitals, all of which are subsidiaries of UHS, and during 2011, 51% of our revenues were earned

Table of Contents

pursuant to leases with operators of acute care services hospitals, all of which are subsidiaries of UHS. The decrease during 2013 and 2012, as compared to 2011, is due primarily to the above-mentioned, December, 2011 purchase of the third-party minority ownership interests in eleven LLCs in which we previously held noncontrolling majority ownership interests and the various acquisitions MOBs and clinics completed during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. A significant portion of the revenue earned by the operators of our acute care hospitals is derived from federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid (excluding managed Medicare and Medicaid programs).

 

Our hospital facilities derive a significant portion of their revenue from third-party payors, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Changes in these government programs in recent years have resulted in limitations on reimbursement and, in some cases, reduced levels of reimbursement for healthcare services. Payments from federal and state government programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations and determinations, requirements for utilization review, and federal and state funding restrictions, all of which could materially increase or decrease program payments, as well as affect the cost of providing service to patients and the timing of payments to facilities. Neither we nor the operators of our hospital facilities are able to predict the effect of recent and future policy changes on our respective results of operations. In addition, the uncertainty and fiscal pressures placed upon federal and state governments as a result of, among other things, the substantial deterioration in general economic conditions and the funding requirements from the federal healthcare reform legislation, may affect the availability of taxpayer funds for Medicare and Medicaid programs. If the rates paid or the scope of services covered by government payors are reduced, there could be a material adverse effect on the business, financial position and results of operations of the operators of our hospital facilities, and in turn, ours.

 

In addition, the healthcare industry is required to comply with extensive and complex laws and regulations at the federal, state and local government levels relating to, among other things: hospital billing practices and prices for services; relationships with physicians and other referral sources; adequacy of medical care and quality of medical equipment and services; ownership of facilities; qualifications of medical and support personnel; confidentiality, maintenance, privacy and security issues associated with health-related information and patient medical records; the screening, stabilization and transfer of patients who have emergency medical conditions; certification, licensure and accreditation of our facilities; operating policies and procedures, and; construction or expansion of facilities and services.

 

These laws and regulations are extremely complex, and, in many cases, the operators of our facilities do not have the benefit of regulatory or judicial interpretation. In the future, it is possible that different interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations could subject the current or past practices of our operators to allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require them to make changes in their facilities, equipment, personnel, services, capital expenditure programs and operating expenses. Although UHS and the other operators of our hospital facilities believe that their policies, procedures and practices comply with governmental regulations, no assurance can be given that they will not be subjected to additional governmental inquiries or actions, or that they would not be faced with sanctions, fines or penalties if so subjected. Even if they were to ultimately prevail, a significant governmental inquiry or action under one of the above laws, regulations or rules could have a material adverse effect upon them, and in turn, us.

 

Each of our hospital facilities is deemed certified, meaning that they are accredited, properly licensed under the relevant state laws and regulations and certified under the Medicare program. The effect of maintaining certified facilities is to allow such facilities to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The operators of our hospital facilities believe that the facilities are in material compliance with applicable federal, state, local and other relevant regulations and standards. However, should any of our hospital facilities lose their deemed certified status and thereby lose certification under the Medicare or Medicaid programs, such facilities would be unable to receive reimbursement from either of those programs and their business, and in turn, ours, could be materially adversely effected.

The various factors and government regulation related to the healthcare industry, such as those outlined above, affects us because:

 

(i) The financial ability of lessees to make rent payments to us may be affected by governmental regulations such as licensure, certification for participation in government programs, and government reimbursement, and;

 

(ii) Our bonus rents are based on our lessees’ net revenues which in turn are affected by the amount of reimbursement such lessees receive from the government.

 

A significant portion of the revenue earned by the operators of our acute care hospitals is derived from federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Under the statutory framework of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, many of the general acute care operations are subject to administrative rulings, interpretations and discretion that may affect payments made under either or both of such programs as well as by other third party payors. The federal government makes payments to participating hospitals under its Medicare program based on various formulas. For inpatient services, the operators of our acute care hospitals are subject to an inpatient prospective payment system (“IPPS”). Under IPPS, hospitals are paid a predetermined fixed payment amount for each hospital discharge. The fixed payment amount is based upon each patient’s Medicare severity diagnosis related group (“MS-DRG”). Every MS-DRG is assigned a payment rate based upon the estimated intensity of hospital resources necessary to treat the average patient with that particular diagnosis. These rates are based upon historical national average costs and do not consider the actual costs incurred by a hospital in providing care. The MS-DRG rates are adjusted annually based on geographic region and are weighted based upon a statistically normal distribution of severity.

 

For outpatient services, both general acute and behavioral health hospitals are paid under an outpatient prospective payment system (“PPS”) according to ambulatory procedure codes. The outpatient PPS rate is a geographic adjusted national payment amount that includes the Medicare payment and the beneficiary co-payment. Special payments under the outpatient PPS may be made for certain new technology items and services through transitional pass-through payments and special reimbursement rates.

 

Three of our acute care hospital facilities operated by subsidiaries of UHS and two sub-acute care hospital facilities operated by an unaffiliated third-party are located in Texas, Florida, California and Illinois. The majority of these states have reported significant budget deficits that have resulted in reductions of Medicaid funding during the last few years and which could adversely affect future levels of Medicaid reimbursement received by certain operators of our facilities, including the operators of our hospital facilities. We can provide no assurance that reductions to Medicaid revenues earned by operators of certain of our facilities, particularly our hospital operators in the above-mentioned states, will not have a material adverse effect on the future operating results of those operators which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on us.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

 

We are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, many of which are described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Any of the events described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are not aware of, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, could also impact our business and results of operations.

 

The revenues and results of operations of the tenants of our hospital facilities, including UHS, and our medical office buildings, are significantly affected by payments received from the government and other third party payors.

 

The operators of our hospital facilities and tenants of our medical office buildings derive a significant portion of their revenue from third party payors, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Changes in these government programs in recent years have resulted in limitations on reimbursement and, in some cases, reduced levels of reimbursement for health care services. Payments from federal and state government programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations and determinations, requirements for utilization review, and federal and state funding restrictions, all of which could materially increase or decrease program payments, as well as affect the cost of providing service to patients and the timing of payments to facilities. Our tenants are unable to predict the effect of recent and future policy changes on their operations.

 

Three of our acute care hospital facilities operated by subsidiaries of UHS and two sub-acute care hospital facilities operated by an unaffiliated third-party are located in Texas, Florida, California and Illinois. The majority of these states have reported significant budget deficits that have resulted in reductions of Medicaid funding during the last few years and which could adversely affect future levels of Medicaid reimbursement received by certain operators of our facilities, including the operators of our hospital facilities. We can provide no assurance that reductions to Medicaid revenues earned by operators of certain of our facilities, particularly our hospital operators in the above-mentioned states, will not have a material adverse effect on the future operating results of those operators which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, the uncertainty and fiscal pressures placed upon federal and state governments as a result of, among other things, the substantial deterioration in general economic conditions and the funding requirements related to various governmental programs, may affect the availability of taxpayer funds for Medicare and Medicaid programs. If the rates paid or the scope of services covered by government payors are reduced, there could be a material adverse effect on our tenants’ business, financial position and results of operations, and in turn, ours.

 

In addition to changes in government reimbursement programs, the ability of our hospital operators to negotiate favorable contracts with private payors, including managed care providers, significantly affects the revenues and operating results of those facilities. Private payors, including managed care providers, increasingly are demanding that hospitals accept lower rates of payment. Our hospital operators expect continued third party

efforts to aggressively manage reimbursement levels and cost controls. Reductions in reimbursement amounts received from third party payors could have a material adverse effect on the financial position and results of operations of our hospital operators.

 

Reductions or changes in Medicare funding could have a material adverse effect on the future operating results of the operators of our facilities, including UHS, which could, in turn, materially reduce our revenues and net income.

 

On January 3, 2013, President Obama signed into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the “2012 Act”). The 2012 Act postponed for two months sequestration cuts mandated under the Budget Control Act of 2011. The postponed sequestration cuts include a 2% annual reduction over ten years in Medicare spending to providers. Medicaid is exempt from sequestration. The 2012 Act provides a one-year fix to statutory reductions in physician reimbursement and extends other Medicare provisions. In order to offset the cost of these extensions, the 2012 Act reduces payments to other providers totaling almost $26 billion over ten years. Approximately half of those funds will come from reductions in Medicare reimbursement to hospitals. Although the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 has reduced certain sequestration-related budgetary cuts, spending reductions related to the Medicare program remain in place. On December 26, 2013, President Obama signed into law H.J. Res. 59, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, which includes the Pathway for SGR Reform Act of 2013 (“the Act”). In addition, on February 15, 2014, Public Law 113-082 was enacted. The Act and subsequent federal legislation achieves new savings by extending sequestration for mandatory programs – including Medicare – for another three years, through 2024.

 

The 2012 Act includes a document and coding (“DCI”) adjustment and a reduction in Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (“DSH”) payments. Expected to save $10.5 billion over 10 years, the DCI adjustment decreases projected Medicare hospital payments for inpatient and overnight care through a downward adjustment in annual base payment increases. These reductions are meant to recoup what Medicare authorities consider to be “overpayments” to hospitals that occurred as a result of the transition to Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups. The reduction in Medicaid DSH payments is expected to save $4.2 billion over 10 years. This provision extends the changes regarding DSH payments established by the Legislation and determines future allotments off of the rebased level. We cannot predict the effect this enactment will have on operators (including UHS), and, thus, our business.

 

The uncertainties of health care reform could materially affect the business and future results of operations of the operators of our facilities, including UHS, which could, in turn, materially reduce our revenues and net income.

 

In March, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act were enacted into law and created significant changes to health insurance coverage for U.S. citizens as well as material revisions to the federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs. The two combined primary goals of these acts are to provide for increased access to coverage for healthcare and to reduce healthcare-related expenses. Medicare, Medicaid and other health care industry changes are scheduled to be implemented at various times during this decade. We cannot predict the effect, if any, these enactments will have on operators (including UHS) and, thus, our business.

 

Increased competition in the health care industry has resulted in lower revenues and higher costs for our operators, including UHS, and may affect our revenues, property values and lease renewal terms.

 

The health care industry is highly competitive and competition among hospitals and other health care providers for patients and physicians has intensified in recent years. In most geographical areas in which our facilities are operated, there are other facilities that provide services comparable to those offered by our facilities. In addition, some competing facilities are owned by tax-supported governmental agencies or by nonprofit corporations and may be supported by endowments and charitable contributions and exempt from property, sales and income taxes. Such exemptions and support are not available to certain operators of our facilities, including UHS.

Table of Contents

In some markets, certain competing facilities may have greater financial resources, be better equipped and offer a broader range of services than those available at our facilities. Certain hospitals that are located in the areas served by our facilities are specialty hospitals that provide medical, surgical and behavioral health services that may not be provided by the operators of our hospitals. The increase in outpatient treatment and diagnostic facilities, outpatient surgical centers and freestanding ambulatory surgical centers also increases competition for our operators.

 

In addition, the operators of our facilities face competition from other health care providers, including physician owned facilities and other competing facilities, including certain facilities operated by UHS but the real property of which is not owned by us. Such competition is experienced in markets including, but not limited to, McAllen, Texas, the site of our McAllen Medical Center, a 430-bed acute care hospital, and Riverside County, California, the site of our Southwest Healthcare System-Inland Valley Campus, a 132-bed acute care hospital.

 

In addition, the number and quality of the physicians on a hospital’s staff are important factors in determining a hospital’s competitive advantage. Typically, physicians are responsible for making hospital admission decisions and for directing the course of patient treatment. The operators of our facilities also compete with other health care providers in recruiting and retaining qualified hospital management, nurses and other medical personnel. The operators of our acute care and behavioral health care facilities are experiencing the effects of a shortage of skilled nursing staff nationwide, which has caused and may continue to cause an increase in salaries, wages and benefits expense in excess of the inflation rate. Our operators may experience difficulties attracting and retaining qualified physicians, nurses and medical support personnel.

 

We anticipate that our operators, including UHS, will continue to encounter increased competition in the future that could lead to a decline in patient volumes and harm their businesses, which in turn, could harm our business.

 

Operators that fail to comply with governmental reimbursement programs such as Medicare or Medicaid, licensing and certification requirements, fraud and abuse regulations or new legislative developments may be unable to meet their obligations to us.

 

Our operators, including UHS and its subsidiaries, are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations that are subject to frequent and substantial changes (sometimes applied retroactively) resulting from legislation, adoption of rules and regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations of existing law. The ultimate timing or effect of these changes cannot be predicted. Government regulation may have a dramatic effect on our operators’ costs of doing business and the amount of reimbursement received by both government and other third-party payors. The failure of any of our operators to comply with these laws, requirements and regulations could adversely affect their ability to meet their obligations to us. These regulations include, among other items: hospital billing practices and prices for service; relationships with physicians and other referral sources; adequacy of medical care; quality of medical equipment and services; qualifications of medical and support personnel; the implementation of an electronic health records application by 2015; confidentiality, maintenance and security issues associated with health-related information and patient medical records; the screening, stabilization and transfer of patients who have emergency medical conditions; certification, licensure and accreditation of our facilities; operating policies and procedures, and; construction or expansion of facilities and services.

 

If our operators fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, they could be subjected to liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil penalties (including the loss of their licenses to operate one or more facilities), and exclusion of one or more facilities from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state health care programs. The imposition of such penalties could jeopardize that operator’s ability to make lease or mortgage payments to us or to continue operating its facility. In addition, our bonus rents are based on net revenues of the UHS hospital facilities, which in turn are affected by the amount of reimbursement that such lessees receive from the government.

Table of Contents

Although UHS and the other operators of our acute care facilities believe that their policies, procedures and practices comply with governmental regulations, no assurance can be given that they will not be subjected to governmental inquiries or actions, or that they would not be faced with sanctions, fines or penalties if so subjected. Because many of these laws and regulations are relatively new, in many cases, our operators don’t have the benefit of regulatory or judicial interpretation. In the future, it is possible that different interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations could subject their current or past practices to allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require them to make changes in the facilities, equipment, personnel, services, capital expenditure programs and operating expenses. Even if they were to ultimately prevail, a significant governmental inquiry or action under one of the above laws, regulations or rules could have a material adverse effect upon them, and in turn, us.

 

A worsening of the economic and employment conditions in the United States could materially affect our business and future results of operations of the operators of our facilities which could, in turn, materially reduce our revenues and net income.

 

Our future results of operations could be unfavorably impacted by continued deterioration in general economic conditions which could result in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or uninsured. Our operators’ patient volumes, revenues and financial results depend significantly on the universe of patients with health insurance, which to a large extent is dependent on the employment status of individuals in certain markets. A continuation or worsening of economic conditions may result in a continued high unemployment rate which will likely increase the number of individuals without health insurance. As a result, the operators of our facilities may experience a decrease in patient volumes. Should that occur, it may result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings as well as a reduction in the revenues earned by the operators of our hospital facilities which would unfavorably impact our future bonus rentals (on the UHS hospital facilities) and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms and the underlying value of the hospital properties. Additionally, the general real estate market has been unfavorably impacted by the deterioration in economic and credit market conditions which may adversely impact the underlying value of our properties.

 

The deterioration of credit and capital markets may adversely affect our access to sources of funding and we cannot be certain of the availability and terms of capital to fund the growth of our business when needed.

 

To retain our status as a REIT, we are required to distribute 90% of our taxable income to shareholders and, therefore, we generally cannot use income from operations to fund our growth. Accordingly, our growth strategy depends, in part, upon our ability to raise additional capital at reasonable costs to fund new investments. We believe we will be able to raise additional debt and equity capital at reasonable costs to refinance our debts (including third-party debt held by various LLCs in which we own non-controlling equity interests) at or prior to their maturities and to invest at yields which exceed our cost of capital. Although the tightening in the credit markets has not had a material impact on us, we can provide no assurance that financing will be available to us on satisfactory terms when needed, which could harm our business. Given these uncertainties, our growth strategy is not assured and may fail.

 

To fund all or a portion of our future financing needs, we rely on borrowings from various sources including fixed rate, long-term debt as well as borrowings pursuant to our revolving credit agreement. If any of the lenders were unable to fulfill their future commitments, our liquidity could be impacted, which could have a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

In addition, the degree to which we are, or in the future may become, leveraged, our ability to obtain financing could be adversely impacted and could make us more vulnerable to competitive pressures. Our ability to meet existing and future debt obligations depends upon our future performance and our ability to secure additional financing on satisfactory terms, each of which is subject to financial, business and other factors that are beyond our control. Any failure by us to meet our financial obligations would harm our business.

Table of Contents

In addition, global capital markets have experienced volatility that has tightened access to capital markets and other sources of funding. In the event we need to access the capital markets or other sources of financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms or within an acceptable time. Our inability to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us could have a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

 

A substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator. If UHS experiences financial difficulties, or otherwise fails to make payments to us, our revenues will significantly decline.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2013, UHS accounted for 36% of our consolidated revenues. In addition, as of December 31, 2013, subsidiaries of UHS leased four of the seven hospital facilities owned by us with terms expiring in 2014 or 2016. We cannot assure you that UHS will renew the leases at existing lease rates or fair market value lease rates, or continue to satisfy its obligations to us. The failure or inability of UHS to satisfy its obligations to us could materially reduce our revenues and net income, which could in turn reduce the amount of dividends we pay and cause our stock price to decline.

 

Our relationship with UHS may create conflicts of interest.

 

In addition to being dependent upon UHS for a substantial portion of our revenues and leases, since 1986, UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, has served as our Advisor. Pursuant to our Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. Further, all of our officers are employees of the Advisor. As of December 31, 2013 we had no salaried employees although our officers do typically receive annual stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock. In special circumstances, if warranted and deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, our officers may also receive one-time special compensation awards in the form of restricted stock and/or cash bonuses. We believe that the quality and depth of the management and advisory services provided to us by our Advisor and UHS could not be replicated by contracting with unrelated third parties or by being self-advised without considerable cost increases. We believe that these relationships have been beneficial to us in the past, but we cannot guarantee that they will not become detrimental to us in the future.

 

All transactions with UHS must be approved by a majority of our Independent Trustees. We believe that our current leases and business dealings with UHS have been entered into on commercially reasonable terms. However, because of our historical and continuing relationship with UHS and its subsidiaries, in the future, our business dealings may not be on the same or as favorable terms as we might achieve with a third party with whom we do not have such a relationship. Disputes may arise between us and UHS that we are unable to resolve or the resolution of these disputes may not be as favorable to us as a resolution we might achieve with a third party.

 

We hold significant, non-controlling equity ownership interests in various LLCs.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2013, 28% of our consolidated and unconsolidated revenues were generated by LLCs in which we hold, or held, a majority, non-controlling equity ownership interest.

 

Our level of investment and lack of control exposes us to potential losses of our investments and revenues. Although our ownership arrangements have been beneficial to us in the past, we cannot guarantee that they will continue to be beneficial in the future.

 

Pursuant to the operating agreements of most of the LLCs in which we continue to hold non-controlling majority ownership interests, the third-party member and the Trust, at any time, have the right to make an offer (“Offering Member”) to the other member(s) (“Non-Offering Member”) in which it either agrees to: (i) sell the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member to the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Sell”) at a price as determined by the Offering Member (“Transfer Price”), or; (ii) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Purchase”) at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The Non-Offering

Table of Contents

Member has 60 days to either: (i) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member at the Transfer Price, or; (ii) sell its entire ownership interest to the Offering Member at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The closing of the transfer must occur within 60 days of the acceptance by the Non-Offering Member.

 

In addition to the above-mentioned rights of the third-party members, from time to time, we have had discussions with third-party members about purchasing or selling the interests to each other or a third party. If we were to sell our interests, we may not be able to redeploy the proceeds into assets at the same or greater return as we currently receive. During any such time that we were not able to do so, our ability to increase or maintain our dividend at current levels could be adversely affected which could cause our stock price to decline.

 

The bankruptcy, default, insolvency or financial deterioration of our tenants could significantly delay our ability to collect unpaid rents or require us to find new operators.

 

Our financial position and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders may be adversely affected by financial difficulties experienced by any of our major tenants, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn in the business. We are exposed to the risk that our operators may not be able to meet their obligations, which may result in their bankruptcy or insolvency. Although our leases and loans provide us the right to terminate an investment, evict an operator, demand immediate repayment and other remedies, the bankruptcy laws afford certain rights to a party that has filed for bankruptcy or reorganization. An operator in bankruptcy may be able to restrict our ability to collect unpaid rents or interest during the bankruptcy proceeding.

 

Required regulatory approvals can delay or prohibit transfers of our healthcare facilities.

 

Transfers of healthcare facilities to successor tenants or operators may be subject to regulatory approvals or ratifications, including, but not limited to, change of ownership approvals under certificate of need laws and Medicare and Medicaid provider arrangements that are not required for transfers of other types of commercial operations and other types of real estate. The replacement of any tenant or operator could be delayed by the regulatory approval process of any federal, state or local government agency necessary for the transfer of the facility or the replacement of the operator licensed to manage the facility. If we are unable to find a suitable replacement tenant or operator upon favorable terms, or at all, we may take possession of a facility, which might expose us to successor liability or require us to indemnify subsequent operators to whom we might transfer the operating rights and licenses, all of which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Real estate ownership creates risks and liabilities that may result in unanticipated losses or expenses.

 

Our business is subject to risks associated with real estate acquisitions and ownership, including:

 

   

general liability, property and casualty losses, some of which may be uninsured;

 

   

the illiquid nature of real estate and the real estate market that impairs our ability to purchase or sell our assets rapidly to respond to changing economic conditions;

 

   

real estate market factors, such as the supply and demand of office space and market rental rates, changes in interest rates as well as an increase in the development of medical office condominiums in certain markets;

 

   

costs that may be incurred relating to maintenance and repair, and the need to make expenditures due to changes in governmental regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act;

 

   

environmental hazards at our properties for which we may be liable, including those created by prior owners or occupants, existing tenants, mortgagors or other persons, and;

 

   

defaults and bankruptcies by our tenants.

 

In addition to the foregoing risks, we cannot predict whether the leases on our properties, including the leases on the properties leased to subsidiaries of UHS, which have options to purchase the respective leased

facilities at the end of the lease or renewal terms at the appraised fair market value, will be renewed at their current rates at the end of the lease terms in 2014 or 2016. The Bridgeway’s lease term is scheduled to expire in December, 2014 and we can provide no assurance that this lease will be renewed at the fair market value lease rate. If the leases are not renewed, we may be required to find other operators for these facilities and/or enter into leases with less favorable terms. The exercise of purchase options for our facilities may result in a less favorable rate of return for us than the rental revenue currently earned on such facilities. Further, the purchase options and rights of first refusal granted to the respective lessees to purchase or lease the respective leased facilities, after the expiration of the lease term, may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease a facility, and may present a potential conflict of interest between us and UHS since the price and terms offered by a third-party are likely to be dependent, in part, upon the financial performance of the facility during the final years of the lease term.

 

Significant potential liabilities and rising insurance costs and availability may have an adverse effect on the operations of our operators, which may negatively impact their ability to meet their obligations to us.

 

As is typical in the healthcare industry, in the ordinary course of business, our operators, including UHS, are subject to medical malpractice lawsuits, product liability lawsuits, class action lawsuits and other legal actions. Some of these actions may involve large claims, as well as significant defense costs. If their ultimate liability for professional and general liability claims could change materially from current estimates, if such policy limitations should be partially or fully exhausted in the future, or payments of claims exceed estimates or are not covered by insurance, it could have a material adverse effect on the operations of our operators and, in turn, us.

 

Property insurance rates, particularly for earthquake insurance in California, have also continued to increase. Two LLCs that own properties in California, in which we have various non-controlling equity interests, could not obtain earthquake insurance at rates which are economically beneficial in relation to the risks covered. Our tenants and operators, including UHS, may be unable to fulfill their insurance, indemnification and other obligations to us under their leases and mortgages and thereby potentially expose us to those risks. In addition, our tenants and operators may be unable to pay their lease or mortgage payments, which could potentially decrease our revenues and increase our collection and litigation costs. Moreover, to the extent we are required to foreclose on the affected facilities, our revenues from those facilities could be reduced or eliminated for an extended period of time. In addition, we may in some circumstances be named as a defendant in litigation involving the actions of our operators. Although we have no involvement in the activities of our operators and our standard leases generally require our operators to carry insurance to cover us in certain cases, a significant judgment against us in such litigation could exceed our and our operators’ insurance coverage, which would require us to make payments to cover the judgment.

 

If we fail to maintain our REIT status, we will become subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates.

 

In order to qualify as a REIT, we must comply with certain highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions. Although we believe we have been qualified as a REIT since our inception, there can be no assurance that we have been so qualified or will remain qualified in the future. Failure to qualify as a REIT may subject us to income tax liabilities, including federal income tax at regular corporate rates. The additional income tax incurred may significantly reduce the cash flow available for distribution to shareholders and for debt service. In addition, if disqualified, we might be barred from qualification as a REIT for four years following disqualification. Also, if disqualified, we will not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income and we could be subject to increased state and local income taxes.

 

Even if we remain qualified as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow.

 

Even if we remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and assets, including taxes on any undistributed income, tax on income from some activities conducted as a result of a foreclosure, and state or local income, property and transfer taxes. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for the payment of our debt obligations.

Table of Contents

Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced tax rates.

 

In general, dividends paid by a U.S. corporation to individual U.S. shareholders are subject to Federal income tax at a maximum rate of 20% (subject to certain additional taxes for certain taxpayers). In contrast, since we are a REIT, our distributions to individual U.S. shareholders are not eligible for the reduced rates which apply to distributions from regular corporations, and thus may be subject to Federal income tax at a rate as high as 39.6% (subject to certain additional taxes for certain taxpayers).

 

Should we be unable to comply with the strict income distribution requirements applicable to REITs utilizing only cash generated by operating activities, we would be required to generate cash from other sources which could adversely affect our financial condition.

 

To obtain the favorable tax treatment associated with qualifying as a REIT, in general, we are required each year to distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our net taxable income. In addition, we are subject to a tax on any undistributed portion of our income at regular corporate rates and might also be subject to a 4% excise tax on this undistributed income. To meet the distribution requirements necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT, we could be required to: (i) seek borrowed funds even if conditions are not favorable for borrowing; (ii) issue equity which could have a dilutive effect on the future dividends and share value of our existing shareholders, and/or; (iii) divest assets that we might have otherwise decided to retain. Securing funds through these other non-operating means could adversely affect our financial condition and future results of operations.

 

Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities.

 

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we continually must satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the ownership of our stock. We may be unable to pursue investments that would be otherwise advantageous to us in order to satisfy the source-of-income, asset-diversification or distribution requirements for qualifying as a REIT. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to make certain attractive investments.

 

The market value of our common stock could be substantially affected by various factors.

 

Many factors, certain of which are outside of our control, could have an adverse effect on the share price of our common stock. These factors include certain of the risks discussed herein, our financial condition, performance and prospects, the market for similar securities issued by REITs, demographic changes, operating results of our operators and other hospital companies, changes in our financial estimates or recommendations of securities analysts, speculation in the press or investment community, the possible effects of war, terrorist and other hostilities, adverse weather conditions, the level of seasonal illnesses, changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets, or other developments affecting the health care industry.

 

Ownership limitations and anti-takeover provisions in our declaration of trust and bylaws and under Maryland law and in our leases with UHS may delay, defer or prevent a change in control or other transactions that could provide shareholders with a take-over premium. We are subject to significant anti-takeover provisions.

 

In order to protect us against the risk of losing our REIT status for federal income tax purposes, our declaration of trust permits our Trustees to redeem shares acquired or held in excess of 9.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of our voting stock and, which in the opinion of the Trustees, would jeopardize our REIT status. In addition, any acquisition of our common or preferred shares that would result in our disqualification as a REIT is null and void. The right of redemption may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company and could adversely affect our shareholders’ ability to realize a premium over the market price for the shares of our common stock.

Table of Contents

Our declaration of trust authorizes our Board of Trustees to issue additional shares of common and preferred stock and to establish the preferences, rights and other terms of any series of preferred stock that we issue. Although our Board of Trustees has no intention to do so at the present time, it could establish a series of preferred stock that could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve the payment of a premium over the market price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders.

 

The Master Lease Document by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, which governs the leases of all hospital properties with subsidiaries of UHS, includes a change of control provision. The change of control provision grants UHS the right, upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, to purchase any or all of the four leased hospital properties at their appraised fair market values. The exercise of this purchase option may result in a less favorable rate of return than the rental revenue currently earned on such facilities.

 

These provisions could discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or make it more difficult for a third-party to gain control of us, which could adversely affect the market price of our securities and prevent shareholders from receiving a take-over premium.

 

We depend heavily on key management personnel and the departure of one or more of our key executives or a significant portion of our operators’ local hospital management personnel could harm our business.

 

The expertise and efforts of our senior executives and key members of our operators’ local hospital management personnel are critical to the success of our business. The loss of the services of one or more of our senior executives or of a significant portion of our operators’ local hospital management personnel could significantly undermine our management expertise and our operators’ ability to provide efficient, quality health care services at our facilities, which could harm their business, and in turn, harm our business.

 

Increasing investor interest in our sector and consolidation at the operator or REIT level could increase competition and reduce our profitability.

 

Our business is highly competitive and we expect that it may become more competitive in the future. We compete for the acquisition, leasing and financing of health care related facilities. Our competitors include, but are not limited to, other REITs, banks and other companies, including UHS, some of which are larger and may have a lower cost of capital than we do. These developments could result in fewer investment opportunities for us and lower spreads over our cost of our capital, which would hurt our growth. Increased competition makes it more challenging for us to identify and successfully capitalize on opportunities that meet our business goals and could improve the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell, thereby impeding our investment, acquisition and development activities. If we cannot capitalize on our development pipeline, identify and purchase a sufficient quantity of healthcare facilities at favorable prices or if we are unable to finance acquisitions on commercially favorable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

 

We may be required to incur substantial renovation costs to make certain of our healthcare properties suitable for other operators and tenants.

 

Healthcare facilities are typically highly customized and may not be easily adapted to non-healthcare-related uses. The improvements generally required to conform a property to healthcare use, such as upgrading electrical, gas and plumbing infrastructure, are costly and at times tenant-specific. A new or replacement operator or tenant may require different features in a property, depending on that operator’s or tenant’s particular operations. If a current operator or tenant is unable to pay rent and vacates a property, we may incur substantial expenditures to modify a property before we are able to secure another operator or tenant. Also, if the property needs to be renovated to accommodate multiple operators or tenants, we may incur substantial expenditures before we are able to re-lease the space. These expenditures or renovations may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to significant corporate regulation as a public company and failure to comply with all applicable regulations could subject us to liability or negatively affect our stock price.

 

As a publicly traded company, we are subject to a significant body of regulation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While we have developed and instituted a corporate compliance program based on what we believe are the current best practices in corporate governance and continue to update this program in response to newly implemented or changing regulatory requirements, we cannot provide assurance that we are or will be in compliance with all potentially applicable corporate regulations. For example, we cannot provide assurance that in the future our management will not find a material weakness in connection with its annual review of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We also cannot provide assurance that we could correct any such weakness to allow our management to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year in time to enable our independent registered public accounting firm to state that we have maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year. If we fail to comply with any of these regulations, we could be subject to a range of regulatory actions, fines or other sanctions or litigation. If we must disclose any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our stock price could decline.

 

Different interpretations of accounting principles could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

 

Generally accepted accounting principles are complex, continually evolving and may be subject to varied interpretation by us, our independent registered public accounting firm and the SEC. Such varied interpretations could result from differing views related to specific facts and circumstances. Differences in interpretation of generally accepted accounting principles could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

(1) Average occupancy rate for the hospital facilities is based on the average number of available beds occupied during each of the five years ended December 31, 2013. Average available beds is the number of beds which are actually in service at any given time for immediate patient use with the necessary equipment and staff available for patient care. A hospital may have appropriate licenses for more beds than are in service for a number of reasons, including lack of demand, incomplete construction and anticipation of future needs. The average occupancy rate of a hospital is affected by a number of factors, including the number of physicians using the hospital, changes in the number of beds, the composition and size of the population of the community in which the hospital is located, general and local economic conditions, variations in local medical and surgical practices and the degree of outpatient use of the hospital services. Average occupancy rate for the multi-tenant medical office buildings is based on the occupied square footage of each building, including any applicable master leases.
(2) In July, 2002, the operations of Inland Valley Regional Medical Center (“Inland Valley”) were merged with the operations of Rancho Springs Medical Center (“Rancho Springs”), an acute care hospital located in California and also operated by UHS, the real estate assets of which are not owned by us. Inland Valley, our lessee, was merged into Universal Health Services of Rancho Springs, Inc. The merged entity is now doing business as Southwest Healthcare System (“Southwest Healthcare”). As a result of merging the operations of the two facilities, the revenues of Southwest Healthcare include the revenues of both Inland Valley and Rancho Springs. Although we do not own the real estate assets of the Rancho Springs facility, Southwest Healthcare became the lessee on the lease relating to the real estate assets of the Inland Valley facility. Since the bonus rent calculation for the Inland Valley campus is based on net revenues and the financial results of the two facilities are no longer separable, the lease was amended during 2002 to exclude from the bonus rent calculation the estimated net revenues generated at the Rancho Springs campus (as calculated pursuant to a percentage based allocation determined at the time of the merger). The average occupancy rates shown for this facility for all years were based on the combined number of beds occupied at the Inland Valley and Rancho Springs campuses.
(3) During the first quarter of 2001, UHS purchased the assets and operations of the 60-bed McAllen Heart Hospital located in McAllen, Texas. Upon the acquisition by UHS, the Heart Hospital began operating under the same license as an integrated department of McAllen Medical Center. As a result of combining the operations of the two facilities, the revenues of McAllen Medical Center include revenues generated by the Heart Hospital, the real property of which is not owned by us. Accordingly, since the bonus rent calculation for McAllen Medical Center is based on the combined net revenues of the two facilities, the McAllen Medical Center lease was amended during 2001 to exclude from the bonus rent calculation, the estimated net revenues generated at the Heart Hospital (as calculated pursuant to a percentage based allocation determined at the time of the merger). In addition, during 2000, UHS purchased the South Texas Behavioral Health Center, a behavioral health care facility located in McAllen, Texas. In 2006, a newly constructed replacement facility for the South Texas Behavioral Health Center was completed and opened. The license for this facility, the real property of which is not owned by us, was also merged with the license for McAllen Medical Center. There was no amendment to the McAllen Medical Center lease related to the operations of the South Texas Behavioral Health Center. The revenues of South Texas Behavioral Health Center are excluded from the bonus rent calculation. No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, the consolidation of the facilities as mentioned above, had on the underlying value of McAllen Medical Center. Base rental commitments and the guarantee by UHS under the original lease continue for the remainder of the lease terms. The average occupancy rates are based upon the combined occupancy and combined number of beds at McAllen Medical Center and McAllen Heart Hospital.
(4) The real estate assets of this facility are owned by us (either directly or through an LLC in which we hold 100% of the ownership interest) and include tenants who are subsidiaries of UHS.
(5) Minimum rent amounts contain impact of straight-line rent adjustments, if applicable.
(6) These properties were acquired in 2011.

(8) The lessee of this facility has a purchase option which is exercisable, subject to certain terms and conditions, at the expiration of each lease term. If exercised, the purchase option stipulates that the purchase price be the fair market value of the facility, subject to stipulated minimum and maximum prices. As currently being utilized, we believe the estimated current fair market value of the property is between the stipulated minimum and maximum prices. The lessee also has a first refusal to purchase right which, if applicable and subject to certain terms and conditions, grants the lessee the option to purchase the property at the same terms and conditions as an accepted third-party offer.
(9) The lessee of this facility has a purchase option which is exercisable, subject to certain terms and conditions, at the expiration of each lease term.

We believe the estimated current fair market value of the property exceeds the stipulated minimum price. The lessee also has a first refusal to purchase right which, if applicable and subject to certain terms and conditions, grants the lessee the option to purchase the property at the same terms and conditions as an accepted third-party offer.

Leasing Trends at Our Significant Medical Office Buildings

 

During 2013, we had a total of 106 new or renewed leases related to the medical office buildings indicated above, in which we have significant investments, some of which are accounted for by the equity method. These leases comprised approximately 13% of the aggregate rentable square feet of these properties (8% related to renewed leases and 5% related to new leases). Rental rates, tenant improvement costs and rental concessions vary from property to property based upon factors such as, but not limited to, the current occupancy and age of our buildings, local overall economic conditions, proximity to hospital campuses and the vacancy rates, rental rates and capacity of our competitors in the market. The weighted-average tenant improvement costs associated with these new or renewed leases was approximately $17 per square foot during 2013. The weighted-average leasing commissions on the new and renewed leases commencing during 2013 was approximately 3% of base rental revenue over the term of the leases. The average aggregate value of the tenant concessions, generally consisting of rent abatements, provided in connection with new and renewed leases commencing during 2013 was approximately 2% of the future aggregate base rental revenue over the lease terms. Tenant concessions were, or will be, recognized in our results of operations under the straight-line method over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. In connection with lease renewals executed during 2013, the weighted-average rental rates, as compared to rental rates on the expired leases, decreased by approximately 6%.

 

Set forth is information detailing the rentable square feet (“RSF”) associated with each of our investments as of December 31, 2013 and the percentage of RSF on which leases expire during the next five years and thereafter. For the MOBs that have scheduled lease expirations during 2014 of 20% or greater (of RSF), we have included information regarding estimated market rates relative to lease rates on the expiring leases.

(a) The estimated market rates related to the 2014 expiring RSF are greater than the lease rates on the expiring leases by an average of approximately 2%.
(b) The estimated market rates related to the 2014 expiring RSF are greater than the lease rates on the expiring leases by an average of approximately 3%.
(c) The estimated market rates related to the 2014 expiring RSF are less than the lease rates on the expiring leases by an average of approximately 10%.
(d) The master lease commitment from UHS was effective through June 30, 2013. As of July 1, 2013, that mater lease expired and we began accounting for this LLC under the equity method on an unconsolidated basis.
(e) Pursuant to the terms of this lease, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS has two 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2015 through 2024) as well certain purchase options, as discussed herein. We can provide no assurance that this lease will be renewed at the fair market value lease rate upon the scheduled expiration in December, 2014.

 

On a combined basis, based upon the aggregate revenues and square footage for the hospital facilities owned as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the average effective annual rental per square foot was $17.85 and $17.69, respectively. On a combined basis, based upon the aggregate consolidated and unconsolidated revenues and the estimated average occupied square footage for our MOBs and childcare centers owned as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the average effective annual rental per square foot was $27.47 and $27.22, respectively. On a combined basis, based upon the aggregate consolidated and unconsolidated revenues and estimated average occupied square footage for all of our properties owned as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the average effective annual rental per square foot was $24.13 and $23.87, respectively. The estimated average occupied square footage for 2013 was calculated by averaging the unavailable rentable square footage on January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2014. The estimated average occupied square footage for 2012 was calculated by averaging the unavailable rentable square footage on January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2013.

(1) The annual rentals of expiring leases reflected above were calculated based upon each property’s 2013 average rental rate per occupied square foot applied to each property’s scheduled lease expirations (on a square foot basis). These amounts include the data related to the unconsolidated LLCs in which we hold various non-controlling ownership interests at December 31, 2013 and exclude the bonus rentals earned on the UHS hospital facilities.
(2) The percentages of annual rentals reflected above were calculated based upon the annual rentals of expiring leases (as reflected above) divided by the total annual rentals of expiring leases (as reflected above).

(3) Amounts include the fair values of the real property (as of 2011) of various previously unconsolidated LLCs, which we began consolidating during the fourth quarter of 2011 subsequent to our purchase of the third-party minority ownership interests (we owned 100% of each of these entities at December 31, 2011).
(4) Investments in LLCs at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 reflect the consolidation of various LLCs, as mentioned in notes 2 and 3 above, as well as the divestiture of property owned by various unconsolidated LLCs during 2012 and 2011, as discussed herein. Additionally, at December 31, 2013, Investments in LLCs reflects the deconsolidation of Palmdale Medical Properties. This LLC was deemed to be a variable interest entity during the term of the master lease and was consolidated in our financial statements through June 30, 2013 since we were the primary beneficiary through that date. Effective July 1, 2013, this LLC is no longer be deemed a variable interest entity and is accounted for in our financial statements on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method.
(5) Excludes third-party debt that is non-recourse to us, incurred by unconsolidated LLCs in which we hold various non-controlling equity interests as follows: $80.1 million as of December 31, 2013, $77.5 million as of December 31, 2012, $101.8 million as of December 31, 2011, $271.7 million as of December 31, 2010 and $251.4 million as of December 31, 2009 (See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements).
(6) Our funds from operations (“FFO”) during 2013, 2012 and 2011 are net of reductions for transaction costs of $203,000, $680,000 and $518,000, respectively.

 

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a widely recognized measure of performance for Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”). We believe that FFO and FFO per diluted share, and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) and AFFO per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures (“GAAP” is Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America), are helpful to our investors as measures of our operating performance. We compute FFO, as reflected below, in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. AFFO was also computed for 2013, 2012 and 2011, as reflected below, since we believe it is helpful to our investors since it adjusts for the transaction costs related to acquisitions. FFO/AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO/AFFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) a measure of our liquidity, or; (iv) an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

 

A reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO is shown below:

Forward Looking Statements

 

This report contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our current estimates, expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, the information concerning our possible future results of operations, business and growth strategies, financing plans, expectations that regulatory developments or other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, our competitive position and the effects of competition, the projected growth of the industry in which we operate, and the benefits and synergies to be obtained from our completed and any future acquisitions, and statements of our goals and objectives, and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “appears,” “projects” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or our good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Such factors include, among other things, the following:

 

   

a substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator, Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”);

 

   

a number of legislative initiatives have recently been passed into law that may result in major changes in the health care delivery system on a national or state level to the operators of our facilities, including UHS. No assurances can be given that the implementation of these new laws will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of our operators;

 

   

a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor and our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which may create the potential for conflicts of interest;

 

   

lost revenues from purchase option exercises and lease expirations and renewals, loan repayments and other restructuring;

 

   

the availability and terms of capital to fund the growth of our business;

 

   

the outcome of known and unknown litigation, government investigations, and liabilities and other claims asserted against us or the operators of our facilities;

 

   

failure of the operators of our hospital facilities to comply with governmental regulations related to the Medicare and Medicaid licensing and certification requirements could have a material adverse impact on our future revenues and the underlying value of the property;

 

29


Table of Contents
   

the potential unfavorable impact on our business of deterioration in national, regional and local economic and business conditions, including a continuation or worsening of unfavorable credit and/or capital market conditions, which may adversely affect, on acceptable terms, our access to sources of capital which may be required to fund the future growth of our business and refinance existing debt with near term maturities;

 

   

further deterioration in general economic conditions which could result in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or insured and likely increase the number of individuals without health insurance; as a result, the operators of our facilities may experience decreases in patient volumes which could result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings;

 

   

a worsening of the economic and employment conditions in the United States could materially affect the business of our operators, including UHS, which may unfavorably impact our future bonus rentals (on the UHS hospital facilities) and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms and the underlying value of the hospital properties;

 

   

real estate market factors, including without limitation, the supply and demand of office space and market rental rates, changes in interest rates as well as an increase in the development of medical office condominiums in certain markets;

 

   

government regulations, including changes in the reimbursement levels under the Medicare and Medicaid program resulting from, among other things, the various health care reform initiatives being implemented;

 

   

the issues facing the health care industry that affect the operators of our facilities, including UHS, such as: changes in, or the ability to comply with, existing laws and government regulations; unfavorable changes in the levels and terms of reimbursement by third party payors or government programs, including Medicare (including, but not limited to, the potential unfavorable impact of future reductions to Medicare reimbursements resulting from the Budget Control Act of 2011, as discussed below) and Medicaid (most states have reported significant budget deficits that have resulted in the reduction of Medicaid funding to the operators of our facilities, including UHS, during each of the last several years, and many states may effectuate further reductions in the level of Medicaid funding due to continued projected state budget deficits); demographic changes; the ability to enter into managed care provider agreements on acceptable terms; an increase in uninsured and self-pay patients which unfavorably impacts the collectability of patient accounts; decreasing in-patient admission trends; technological and pharmaceutical improvements that may increase the cost of providing, or reduce the demand for, health care, and; the ability to attract and retain qualified medical personnel, including physicians;

 

   

in August, 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011 (the “2011 Act”) was enacted into law. The 2011 Act imposed annual spending limits for most federal agencies and programs aimed at reducing budget deficits by $917 billion between 2012 and 2021, according to a report released by the Congressional Budget Office. The 2011 Act provides for new spending on program integrity initiatives intended to reduce fraud and abuse under the Medicare program. Among its other provisions, the law established a bipartisan Congressional committee, known as the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (the “Joint Committee”), which was tasked with making recommendations aimed at reducing future federal budget deficits by an additional $1.5 trillion over 10 years. The Joint Committee was unable to reach an agreement by the November 23, 2011 deadline and, as a result, across-the-board cuts to discretionary, national defense and Medicare spending were implemented on March 1, 2013 resulting in Medicare payment reductions of up to 2% per fiscal year with a uniform percentage reduction across all Medicare programs. We cannot predict whether Congress will restructure the implemented Medicare payment reductions or what federal other deficit reduction initiatives may be proposed by Congress. We also cannot predict the effect this enactment will have on operators (including UHS), and, thus, our business;

 

   

in March, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act were enacted into law and created significant changes to health insurance coverage for U.S. citizens as well as material revisions to the federal Medicare and state Medicaid

programs. The two combined primary goals of these acts are to provide for increased access to coverage for healthcare and to reduce healthcare-related expenses. Medicare, Medicaid and other health care industry changes are scheduled to be implemented at various times during this decade. We cannot predict the effect, if any, these enactments will have on operators (including UHS) and, thus, our business;

 

   

two LLCs that own properties in California, in which we have various non-controlling equity interests, could not obtain earthquake insurance at rates which are economically beneficial in relation to the risks covered;

 

   

competition for our operators from other REITs;

 

   

the operators of our facilities face competition from other health care providers, including physician owned facilities and other competing facilities, including certain facilities operated by UHS but the real property of which is not owned by us. Such competition is experienced in markets including, but not limited to, McAllen, Texas, the site of our McAllen Medical Center, a 430-bed acute care hospital, and Riverside County, California, the site of our Southwest Healthcare System-Inland Valley Campus, a 132-bed acute care hospital;

 

   

changes in, or inadvertent violations of, tax laws and regulations and other factors than can affect REITs and our status as a REIT;

 

   

should we be unable to comply with the strict income distribution requirements applicable to REITs, utilizing only cash generated by operating activities, we would be required to generate cash from other sources which could adversely affect our financial condition;

 

   

our majority ownership interests in various LLCs in which we hold non-controlling equity interests. In addition, pursuant to the operating agreements of most of the LLCs (consisting of substantially all of the LLCs that own MOBs in Arizona, Reno, Nevada and California), the third-party member and the Trust, at any time, have the right to make an offer (“Offering Member”) to the other member(s) (“Non-Offering Member”) in which it either agrees to: (i) sell the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member to the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Sell”) at a price as determined by the Offering Member (“Transfer Price”), or; (ii) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Purchase”) at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The Non-Offering Member has 60 days to either: (i) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member at the Transfer Price, or; (ii) sell its entire ownership interest to the Offering Member at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The closing of the transfer must occur within 60 days of the acceptance by the Non-Offering Member;

 

   

fluctuations in the value of our common stock, and;

 

   

other factors referenced herein or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Given these uncertainties, risks and assumptions, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Our actual results and financial condition, including the operating results of our lessees and the facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS, could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except as may be required by law. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

31


Table of Contents

A summary of our critical accounting policies is outlined in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require us to make significant judgments and estimates when we prepare our financial statements, including the following:

 

Revenue Recognition:    Our revenues consist primarily of rentals received from tenants, which are comprised of minimum rent (base rentals), bonus rentals and reimbursements from tenants for their pro-rata share of expenses such as common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and utilities.

 

The minimum rent for all hospital facilities is fixed over the initial term or renewal term of the respective leases. Rental income recorded by our consolidated and unconsolidated medical office buildings (“MOBs”) relating to leases in excess of one year in length is recognized using the straight-line method under which contractual rents are recognized evenly over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. The amount of rental revenue resulting from straight-line rent adjustments is dependent on many factors including the nature and amount of any rental concessions granted to new tenants, scheduled rent increases under existing leases, as well as the acquisitions and sales of properties that have existing in-place leases with terms in excess of one year. As a result, the straight-line adjustments to rental revenue may vary from period-to-period. Bonus rents are recognized when earned based upon increases in each facility’s net revenue in excess of stipulated amounts. Bonus rentals are determined and paid each quarter based upon a computation that compares the respective facility’s current quarter’s net revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base year. Tenant reimbursements for operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred.

 

Real Estate Investments:    On the date of acquisition, the purchase price of a property is allocated to the property’s land, buildings and intangible assets based upon our estimates of their fair values. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the buildings and capital improvements. The value of intangible assets is amortized over the remaining lease term.

 

Asset Impairment:    Real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property might not be recoverable. A property to be held and used is considered impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows, less estimated capital expenditures, to be generated by the property, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying value of the property. This estimate takes into consideration factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, local market conditions and other factors.

 

The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by management, including the expected course of action at the balance sheet date that would lead to such cash flows. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in anticipated action to be taken with respect to the property could impact the determination of whether an impairment exists and whether the effects could materially impact our net income. To the extent estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.

 

Assessment of the recoverability by us of certain lease related costs must be made when we have reason to believe that a tenant might not be able to perform under the terms of the lease as originally expected. This requires us to make estimates as to the recoverability of such costs. If we determine that the intangible assets are not recoverable from future cash flows, the excess of carrying value of the intangible asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

 

An other than temporary impairment of an investment/advance in an LLC is recognized when the carrying value of the investment is not considered recoverable based on evaluation of the severity and duration of the decline in value, including projected declines in cash flow. To the extent impairment has occurred, the excess carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

Table of Contents

Investments in Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”):    Our consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of our controlled investments and those investments that meet the criteria of a variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary. In accordance with the FASB’s standards and guidance relating to accounting for investments and real estate ventures, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. The third-party members in these investments have equal voting rights with regards to issues such as, but not limited to: (i) divestiture of property; (ii) annual budget approval, and; (iii) financing commitments. These investments, which represent 33% to 95% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to, and distributions from, the investments. Pursuant to certain agreements, allocations of sales proceeds and profits and losses of some of the LLC investments may be allocated disproportionately as compared to ownership interests after specified preferred return rate thresholds have been satisfied.

 

As of December 31, 2013, we have non-controlling equity investments or commitments in thirteen LLCs which own medical office buildings. As of December 31, 2013, we accounted for these LLCs on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since they are not variable interest entities. Palmdale Medical Properties was consolidated in our financial statements through June 30, 2013, as discussed below, since it was considered to be a variable interest entity where we were the primary beneficiary by virtue of its master lease with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”), a related party to us. The master lease expired effective as of July 1, 2013 and, as of that date, we began accounting for Palmdale Medical Properties under the equity method.

 

The majority of these LLCs are joint-ventures between us and a non-related party that manages and holds minority ownership interests in the entities. Each LLC is generally self-sustained from a cash flow perspective and generates sufficient cash flow to meet its operating cash flow requirements and service the third-party debt (if applicable) that is non-recourse to us. Although there is typically no ongoing financial support required from us to these entities since they are cash-flow sufficient, we may, from time to time, provide funding for certain purposes such as, but not limited to, significant capital expenditures, leasehold improvements and debt financing. Although we are not obligated to do so, if approved by us at our sole discretion, additional cash fundings are typically advanced as equity or member loans.

 

In addition, at December 31, 2011, as a result of our purchases of third-party minority ownership interests in eleven LLCs in which we formerly held non-controlling majority ownership interests, we now hold 100% of the ownership interest in these LLCs which own MOBs and are accounted for on a consolidated basis, as discussed herein (see Notes 3 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure).

 

Palmdale Medical Properties had a master lease with a subsidiary of UHS through June 30, 2013. Additionally, UHS of Delaware, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as advisor to us under the terms of an advisory agreement and manages our day-to-day affairs. All of our officers are officers or employees of UHS (through UHS of Delaware, Inc.). As a result of our related-party relationship with UHS and the master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements with subsidiaries of UHS, we have accounted for this LLC on a consolidated basis, since the fourth quarter of 2007 through June 30, 2013, since it was a variable interest entity and we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary. As of July 1, 2013, the master lease expired and this LLC is no longer considered a variable interest entity and we therefore began to account for this LLC on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method as of July 1, 2013.

 

Effective January 1, 2014, we purchased the third-party minority ownership interests in two LLCs (Palmdale Medical Properties and Sparks Medical Properties) in which we formerly held non-controlling majority ownership interest. As a result of our purchase of the minority ownership interests, we now hold 100% of the ownership interests in these LLCs which own MOBs and will begin accounting for them on a consolidated basis effective January 1, 2014. Each of the property’s assets and liabilities will be recorded at their fair values. (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure).

Federal Income Taxes:    No provision has been made for federal income tax purposes since we qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and intend to continue to remain so qualified. As such, we are exempt from federal income taxes and we are required to distribute at least 90% of our real estate investment taxable income to our shareholders.

 

We are subject to a federal excise tax computed on a calendar year basis. The excise tax equals 4% of the amount by which 85% of our ordinary income plus 95% of any capital gain income for the calendar year exceeds cash distributions during the calendar year, as defined. No provision for excise tax has been reflected in the financial statements as no tax is expected to be due.

 

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal tax purposes in the cost basis of assets and in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and the recording of provision for investment losses.

 

Relationship with UHS and Related Party Transactions:    UHS is our principal tenant and through UHS of Delaware, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as our advisor (the “Advisor”) under an Advisory Agreement dated December 24, 1986 between the Advisor and us (the “Advisory Agreement”). Our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and although as of December 31, 2013 we had no salaried employees, our officers do receive stock-based compensation.

 

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. All transactions between us and UHS must be approved by the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS (the “Independent Trustees”). In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. The Advisor is entitled to certain advisory fees for its services. See “Relationship with UHS and Related Party Transactions” in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Advisory Agreement and related fees. In December of 2013, based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses, as compared to an industry peer group, the Advisory Agreement was renewed for 2014 pursuant to the same terms as the Advisory Agreement in place during 2013. In December of 2012, based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses, as compared to an industry peer group, the 2013 advisory fee, as compared to the 2012 advisory fee, was increased to 0.70% (from 0.65%) of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheet. See “Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc.” in Item 1 and Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Advisory Agreement and related fees.

 

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the UHS hospital facilities comprised approximately 30%, for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and 55% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease during 2012 as compared to 2011 is due primarily to the December, 2011 purchase of the third-party minority ownership interests in eleven LLCs in which we previously held noncontrolling majority ownership interests (we began recording the financial results of the entities in our financial statements on a consolidated basis at that time) and various acquisitions of medical office buildings (“MOBs”) and clinics completed during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. Including 100% of the revenues generated at the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 95%, the leases on the UHS hospital facilities accounted for 22%, 21% and 19% of the combined consolidated and unconsolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, twelve of the MOBs, including certain properties owned by LLCs in which we hold either 100% of

the ownership interest or various non-controlling, majority ownership interests, include or will include tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS. The leases to the hospital facilities of UHS are guaranteed by UHS and cross-defaulted with one another. For additional disclosure related to our relationship with UHS, please refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements—Relationship with UHS and Related Party Transactions.

Results of Operations

 

Year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012:

 

Our Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2012, includes the revenue and expenses associated with Palmdale Medical Properties, an LLC in which we held a 95% non-controlling equity interest as of December 31, 2013 (we now hold 100% of the ownership in this LLC effective as of January 1, 2014). As previously discussed, effective July 1, 2013, the master lease agreement between Palmdale Medical Properties and Palmdale Regional Medical Center, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, expired. Therefore, effective on July 1, 2013, this LLC was no longer considered a variable interest entity and we began accounting for this LLC on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method. Prior to the expiration of the master lease, this LLC was accounted for on a consolidated basis, through June 30, 2013. The table below reflects the “As Adjusted” Statement of Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, reflecting the revenue and expense impact of the deconsolidation of this LLC as if it had been deconsolidated effective July 1, 2012, since our Consolidated Statement of Income for the first six months of 2013 includes the revenue and expenses associated with Palmdale Medical Properties. There was no material impact to our net income as a result of the deconsolidation of this LLC.

Table of Contents

During 2013, net income decreased $6.3 million to $13.2 million as compared to $19.5 million during 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to the following, as computed utilizing the “As Adjusted” Variance column indicated on the table above:

 

   

an unfavorable change of $8.5 million resulting from the aggregate net gains recorded during 2012 on divestiture of properties owned by two unconsolidated LLCs in which we formerly held noncontrolling majority ownership interests, as discussed below and herein (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements);

 

   

a favorable change of $1.3 million (As Adjusted) resulting from a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, resulting primarily from a $1.7 million decrease in amortization expense recorded on intangible assets, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense resulting from MOBs acquired during 2013 and the fourth quarter of 2012;

 

   

a favorable change of $477,000 resulting from a decrease in transaction costs;

 

   

a favorable change of $90,000 (As Adjusted) in interest expense due primarily to a decrease in the average effective borrowing rate pursuant to the terms of our $150 million revolving credit agreement, partially offset by an increase in our average outstanding borrowings (as discussed below in Credit facilities and mortgage debt), and;

 

   

other combined net favorable changes of $354,000 including the aggregate net operating income (before depreciation and amortization and interest expense) generated at three MOBs acquired during 2013 and the fourth quarter of 2012, partially offset by the net operating losses incurred at a newly constructed MOB that opened in April, 2013 (property is owned by an unconsolidated LLC in which we hold a noncontrolling majority ownership interest).

 

Total revenues increased approximately $1.0 million (As Adjusted) during 2013, as compared to 2012, due primarily from increases resulting from MOBs acquired during 2013 and the fourth quarter of 2012, partially offset by other combined revenue decreases experienced at certain properties.

 

Included in our other operating expenses are expenses related to the consolidated medical office buildings, which totaled $12.9 million and $12.6 million (As Adjusted basis), for 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in other operating expenses during 2013, as compared to 2012, is primarily attributable to expenses related to the MOBs acquired during 2013 and the fourth quarter of 2012. A large portion of the expenses associated with our consolidated medical office buildings is passed on to the tenants either directly as tenant reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses or included in base rental amounts. Tenant reimbursements for operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred and are included in tenant reimbursements and other revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

 

During 2013, we had a total of 106 new or renewed leases related to the medical office buildings indicated above, in which we have significant investments, some of which are accounted for by the equity method. These leases comprised approximately 13% of the aggregate rentable square feet of these properties (8% related to renewed leases and 5% related to new leases). Rental rates, tenant improvement costs and rental concessions vary from property to property based upon factors such as, but not limited to, the current occupancy and age of our buildings, local overall economic conditions, proximity to hospital campuses and the vacancy rates, rental rates and capacity of our competitors in the market. The weighted-average tenant improvement costs associated with these new or renewed leases was approximately $17 per square foot during 2013. The weighted-average leasing commissions on the new and renewed leases commencing during 2013 was approximately 3% of base rental revenue over the term of the leases. The average aggregate value of the tenant concessions, generally consisting of rent abatements, provided in connection with new and renewed leases commencing during 2013 was approximately 2% of the future aggregate base rental revenue over the lease terms. Tenant concessions were, or will be, recognized in our results of operations under the straight-line method over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. In connection with lease renewals executed during 2013, the weighted-average rental rates, as compared to rental rates on the expired leases, decreased by approximately 6%.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a widely recognized measure of performance for Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”). We believe that FFO and FFO per diluted share, and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) and AFFO per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures (“GAAP” is Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America), are helpful to our investors as measures of our operating performance. We compute FFO, as reflected below, in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. AFFO was also computed for 2013 and 2012, as reflected below, since we believe it is helpful to our investors since it adjusts for the transaction costs related to acquisitions. FFO/AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO/AFFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) a measure of our liquidity, or; (iv) an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

Our FFO increased $675,000 to $35.0 million during 2013 as compared to $34.3 million during 2012. The increase was primarily due to: (i) an unfavorable change of $6.3 million resulting from the decrease in net income, as discussed above; (ii) an unfavorable change of $1.5 million in the add-back of depreciation and amortization expense on real property/intangibles, and; (iii) a favorable change of $8.5 million in gains recorded on divestiture of properties owned by an unconsolidated LLCs. Our AFFO were $35.2 million during 2013 as compared to $35.0 million during 2012.

 

Year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011:

 

Our Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes the revenue and expenses associated with the below-mentioned LLCs in which we purchased the third-party minority interests during the fourth quarter of 2011. Since we now own 100% of these entities, we began consolidating the financial data effective December 12, 2011. Prior to these minority interest purchases, we previously held noncontrolling majority interests in these LLCs and they were therefore accounted for on an unconsolidated basis. Our Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes a partial month of revenue and expenses associated with the below-mentioned LLCs in which we purchased the third-party minority ownership interests during the fourth quarter of 2011. The table below reflects the “As Adjusted” Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2011, reflecting the revenue and expense impact of the consolidation of these various LLCs as if they had been consolidated for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. The “As Adjusted” amounts are used for comparison discussions in the Results of Operations, as they present both periods on a comparable basis. Our 2012 net income was unfavorably impacted as a result of the consolidation of these

During 2012, net income decreased $54.3 million to $19.5 million as compared to $73.8 million during 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to the following, as computed utilizing the “As Adjusted” Variance column indicated on the table above:

 

   

an unfavorable change of $28.6 million resulting from the aggregate net gain (net of $301,000 of related transaction costs) recorded during 2011 in connection with the fair value recognition of the assets and liabilities related to eleven LLCs in which we purchased the third-party minority ownership interests, as discussed below and herein (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements);

 

   

an unfavorable change of $27.3 million resulting from the decrease in net gains recorded on the divestiture of properties owned by unconsolidated LLCs during 2012 and 2011, as discussed below and herein (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements);

 

   

an unfavorable change of $9.0 million (As Adjusted) in depreciation and amortization expense primarily due to a $6.6 million increase incurred during 2012 resulting from the increased basis recorded in connection with the fair value recognition of the assets and liabilities related to the eleven LLCs of which we purchased the third-party minority ownership interests during the fourth quarter of 2011, as well as a $3.0 million increase during 2012 at five MOBs and clinics acquired during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012;

 

38


Table of Contents
   

an unfavorable change of $1.3 million (As Adjusted) in interest expense, as discussed below;

 

   

a favorable change of $5.4 million resulting from the provision for asset impairment recorded during 2011 on an MOB located in Atlanta, Georgia;

 

   

a favorable change of approximately $5.2 million from the net operating income (before depreciation and amortization and interest expenses) generated at five MOBs and clinics acquired during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012;

 

   

a favorable change of $1.1 million (As Adjusted) resulting from an increase in equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs resulting primarily from increased income generated at a number of our LLCs, and;

 

   

other combined net favorable changes of $200,000.

 

Total revenue increased by $7.5 million (As Adjusted) during 2012, as compared to 2011, due primarily to the revenue, or increased revenue, generated during 2012 at five MOBs/clinic acquired at various times during 2011 and 2012, as discussed below and herein.

 

During 2012, we recorded a combined net gain of $8.5 million in connection with the sale of two medical office buildings by LLCs in which we formerly held a noncontrolling majority ownership interests, as discussed below and herein. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosure related to this divestiture.

 

Interest expense, net of interest income, increased $1.3 million (As Adjusted) during 2012 as compared to 2011, primarily due to: (i) an increase in our average outstanding borrowings (to $75.4 million in 2012 from $67.8 million in 2011) as well as an increase in the average effective interest rate (to 2.4% in 2012 from 1.8% in 2011) pursuant to the terms of our new $150 million revolving credit agreement that commenced in July, 2011; (ii) interest expense incurred on the combined $29.4 million of third-party debt assumed as part of the acquisitions, as mentioned below, partially offset by; (iii) a decrease in interest expense related to the previously unconsolidated LLCs which are now consolidated in our financial statements, as discussed below. The increased borrowings during 2012, as compared to 2011, were used primarily to: (i) fund the purchases of the six acquired MOBs/clinic during 2011 and the first and fourth quarters of 2012; (ii) fund the fourth quarter of 2011 purchases of the third-party minority ownership interests in various LLCs in which we formerly held noncontrolling majority ownership interests; (iii) fund investments in, and advances to, various LLCs, partially offset by; (iv) our share of the cash proceeds generated during 2011 and 2012 in connection with the sale of MOBs by various LLCs in which we formerly held noncontrolling majority ownership interests, as discussed herein.

 

Included in our other operating expenses are expenses related to the consolidated medical office buildings, which totaled $12.9 million and $11.5 million (As Adjusted basis), for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in other operating expenses during 2012 as compared to 2011, is primarily attributable to the expenses related to the five MOBs/clinic acquired during 2011 and first quarter of 2012, as previously discussed. A large portion of the expenses associated with our consolidated medical office buildings is passed on to the tenants either directly as tenant reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses or included in base rental amounts. Tenant reimbursements for operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred and are included in tenant reimbursements and other revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

 

During 2012, we had a total of 91 new or renewed leases related to the medical office buildings indicated above, in which we have significant investments, some of which are accounted for by the equity method. These leases comprised approximately 13% of the aggregate rentable square feet of these properties (8% related to renewed leases and 5% related to new leases). Rental rates, tenant improvement costs and rental concessions vary from property to property based upon factors such as, but not limited to, the current occupancy and age of our buildings, local overall economic conditions, proximity to hospital campuses and the vacancy rates, rental rates

and capacity of our competitors in the market. The weighted-average tenant improvement costs associated with these new or renewed leases was approximately $23 per square foot during 2012. The weighted-average leasing commissions on the new and renewed leases commencing during 2012 was approximately 3% of base rental revenue over the term of the leases. The average aggregate value of the tenant concessions, generally consisting of rent abatements, provided in connection with new and renewed leases commencing during 2012 was approximately 3% of the future aggregate base rental revenue over the lease terms. Tenant concessions were, or will be, recognized in our results of operations under the straight-line method over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. In connection with lease renewals executed during 2012, the weighted-average rental rates, as compared to rental rates on the expired leases, decreased by approximately 1%. Rental rates on new leases were excluded from the above-mentioned market rates to expired lease rates calculation since a significant portion of the new leases occurred at then newly constructed MOBs which are leasing unoccupied space at generally fixed rental rates.

Our FFO increased $1.8 million to $34.3 million during 2012 as compared to $32.5 million during 2011. The increase was primarily due to: (i) an unfavorable change of $54.3 million resulting from the decrease in net income, as discussed above; (ii) a favorable change of $28.6 million from the 2011 gain on purchase of minority interests in majority-owned LLCs; (iii) plus a $5.6 million increase in the add-back of depreciation and amortization expense (including consolidated investments and unconsolidated affiliates); (iv) a favorable change of $27.3 million in gains recorded on divestiture of properties owned by an unconsolidated LLCs., and; (v) an unfavorable change of $5.4 million from the provision for asset impairment add-back during 2011.

 

Our AFFO increased $2.0 million to $35.0 million during 2012 as compared to $33.0 million during 2011. The increase in AFFO during 2012, as compared to 2011, was attributable to: (i) the above-mentioned $1.8 million increase in FFO, plus; (ii) the $200,000 increase in the add-back of the transaction costs incurred during each period.

Effects of Inflation

 

Inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations over the last three years. However, since the healthcare industry is very labor intensive and salaries and benefits are subject to inflationary pressures, as are supply and other costs, we and the operators of our hospital facilities cannot predict the impact that future economic conditions may have on our/their ability to contain future expense increases. Depending on general economic and labor market conditions, the operators of our hospital facilities may experience unfavorable labor market conditions, including a shortage of nurses which may cause an increase in salaries, wages and benefits expense in excess of the inflation rate. Their ability to pass on increased costs associated with providing healthcare to Medicare and Medicaid patients is limited due to various federal, state and local laws which have been enacted that, in certain cases, limit their ability to increase prices. Therefore, there can be no assurance that these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations of the operators of our facilities which may affect their ability to make lease payments to us.

 

Most of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Our hospital leases require all building operating expenses, including maintenance, real estate taxes and other costs, to be paid by the lessee. In addition, certain of the hospital leases contain bonus rental provisions, which require the lessee to pay additional rent to us based on increases in the revenues of the facility over a base year amount. In addition, most of our MOB leases require the tenant to pay an allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, insurance and real estate taxes. These provisions may reduce our exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation. To the extent that some leases do not contain such provisions, our future operating results may be adversely impacted by the effects of inflation.

a favorable change of $116,000 in rent receivable;

 

   

an unfavorable change of $191,000 in tenant reserves, escrows, deposits and prepaid rents, and;

Year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011:

 

Net cash provided by operating activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $30.8 million during 2012 as compared to $21.4 million during 2011. The $9.4 million increase was attributable to:

Additionally, the cash balance reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2011 was increased by an aggregate $4.2 million resulting from the consolidation of LLCs in which we purchased third-party minority ownership interests in noncontrolled, majority-owned LLCs.

 

Net cash used in financing activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $30.8 million during 2012 as compared to $7.4 million during 2011. The factors contributing to the $30.8 million of net cash used in financing activities during 2012 are detailed above.

 

The $7.4 million of net cash used in financing activities during 2011 consisted of: (i) generated $24.6 million of additional net borrowings on our revolving line of credit; (ii) generated $244,000 of net cash from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest; (iii) paid $30.7 million of dividends; (iv) paid $291,000 on mortgage and other notes payable that are non-recourse to us; (v) paid $1.1 million of financing costs related to a $150 million revolving credit agreement, executed in July, 2011, and; (vi) paid $162,000 as settlement of accrued dividend equivalent rights.

 

Additional cash flow and dividends paid information for 2013, 2012 and 2011:

 

As indicated on our consolidated statements of cash flows, we generated net cash provided by operating activities of $31.3 million during 2013, $30.8 million during 2012 and $21.4 million during 2011. As also indicated on our statements of cash flows, noncash expenses such as depreciation and amortization expense, amortization on debt premium, restricted stock-based compensation expense and provision for asset impairment, as well as the gains recorded during 2012 and 2011, are the primary differences between our net income and net cash provided by operating activities for each year. In addition, as reflected in the cash flows from investing

 

46


Table of Contents

activities section, we received $2.3 million during 2013, $3.2 million during 2012 and $5.2 million during 2011, of cash distributions in excess of income from various unconsolidated LLCs which represents our share of the net cash flow distributions from these entities. These cash distributions in excess of income represent operating cash flows net of capital expenditures and debt repayments made by the LLCs.

 

We generated $33.6 million during 2013, $34.0 million during 2012 and $26.6 million during 2011 related to the operating activities of our properties recorded on a consolidated and an unconsolidated basis. We paid dividends of $31.8 million during 2013, $31.2 million during 2012 and $30.7 million during 2011. During 2013, the $33.6 million of net cash generated related to the operating activities of our properties exceeded the $31.8 million of dividends paid by approximately $1.9 million. During 2012, the $34.0 million of net cash generated related to the operating activities of our properties exceeded the $31.2 million of dividends paid by approximately $2.8 million. During 2011, the $26.6 million of net cash generated related to operating activities of our properties was approximately $4.1 million less than the $30.7 million of dividends paid during 2011. The shortfall experienced during 2011 was attributable to the debt repayments and capital expenditures made by the unconsolidated LLCs during the year as well as operating factors as discussed above in Results of Operations.

 

As indicated in the cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities sections of the statements of cash flows, there were various other sources and uses of cash during each of the last three years. Therefore, the funding source for our dividend payments is not wholly dependent on the operating cash flow generated by our properties in any given period. Rather, our dividends, as well as our capital reinvestments into our existing properties, acquisitions of real property and other investments are funded based upon the aggregate net cash inflows or outflows from all sources and uses of cash from the properties we own either in whole or through LLCs, as outlined above.

 

In determining and monitoring our dividend level on a quarterly basis, our management and Board of Trustees consider many factors in determining the amount of dividends to be paid each period. These considerations primarily include: (i) the minimum required amount of dividends to be paid in order to maintain our REIT status; (ii) the current and projected operating results of our properties, including those owned in LLCs, and; (iii) our future capital commitments and debt repayments, including those of our LLCs. Based upon the information discussed above, as well as consideration of projections and forecasts of our future operating cash flows, management and the Board of Trustees have determined that our operating cash flows have been sufficient to fund our dividend payments. Future dividend levels will be determined based upon the factors outlined above with consideration given to our projected future results of operations.

 

Included in the various sources of cash were: (i) funds generated from the repayments of advances made from us to LLCs ($114,000 in 2013, $8.6 million in 2012 and $8.7 million in 2011); (ii) cash distributions of refinancing proceeds from LLCs of $2.1 million in 2011; (iii) net borrowings on our revolving credit agreement ($12.0 million during 2013, $4.6 million during 2012 and $23.5 million during 2011 net of $1.1 million of financing costs); (iv) repayment of advance made to third-party partners of $4.0 million during 2011, and; (v) issuance of shares of beneficial interest ($5.8 million during 2013, $350,000 during 2012 and $244,000 during 2011). In addition, during 2012 and 2011, funds were generated from the divestiture of property owned by unconsolidated LLCs, our share of which was $12.2 million and $33.8 million, respectively.

 

In addition to the dividends paid, the following were also included in the various uses of cash: (i) investments in LLCs ($3.0 million during each of 2013 and 2012 and $3.8 million during 2011); (ii) advances made to LLCs/third-party partners ($4.6 million during 2013, $8.0 million during 2012 and $11.5 million during 2011); (iii) additions to real estate investments and acquisitions of real property ($3.4 million in 2013, $4.0 million in 2012 and $776,000 in 2011); (iv) acquisitions of medical office buildings ($4.7 million in 2013, $16.9 million in 2012 and $39.6 million in 2011); (v) net repayments from mortgage, construction and third-party partners and other loans payable of consolidated MOBs and LLCs, net of financing costs ($3.3 million during 2013, $4.5 million during 2012 and $291,000 during 2011); (vi), deposits on real estate assets ($150,000 during 2013 and $634,000 during 2011, related primarily to the acquisitions of an MOB and a medical clinic which were

completed in early 2014 and 2012, respectively), and; (vii) payments of assumed liabilities on acquired properties ($711,000 in 2012 and $621,000 in 2011). Additionally, during 2011, we had an additional use of cash consisting of $4.4 million for the purchase of minority interests in majority-owned LLCs, as previously discussed.

 

We expect to finance all capital expenditures and acquisitions and pay dividends utilizing internally generated and additional funds. Additional funds may be obtained through: (i) the issuance of equity pursuant to our at-the-market (“ATM”) equity issuance program (which has $43.5 million of gross proceeds remaining for issuance as of December 31, 2013); (ii) borrowings under our $150 million revolving credit facility (which has $47.6 million of available borrowing capacity, net of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, as of December 31, 2013); (iii) borrowings under or refinancing of existing third-party debt pursuant to mortgage and construction loan agreements entered into by our LLCs, and/or; (iv) the issuance of other long-term debt.

 

We believe that our operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and equity issuance capacity pursuant to the terms of the ATM program, and access to the capital markets provide us with sufficient capital resources to fund our operating, investing and financing requirements for the next twelve months, including providing sufficient capital to allow us to make distributions necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. In the event we need to access the capital markets or other sources of financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms or within an acceptable time. Our inability to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us could have a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

 

Credit facilities and mortgage debt

 

In July, 2011, we entered into a $150 million revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which is scheduled to expire on July 24, 2015. The Credit Agreement includes a $50 million sub limit for letters of credit and a $20 million sub limit for swingline/short-term loans. The Credit Agreement also provides an option to increase the total facility borrowing capacity by an additional $50 million, subject to lender agreement. Borrowings made pursuant to the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at one, two, three, or six month LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% or at the Base Rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50%. The Credit Agreement defines “Base Rate” as the greatest of: (a) the administrative agent’s prime rate; (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and; (c) one month LIBOR plus 1%. A fee of 0.30% to 0.50% will be charged on the unused portion of the commitment. The margins over LIBOR, Base Rate and the commitment fee are based upon our ratio of debt to total capital. At December 31, 2013, the applicable margin over the LIBOR rate was 2.00%, the margin over the Base Rate was 1.00%, and the commitment fee was 0.35%.

 

At December 31, 2013, we had $93.7 million of outstanding borrowings and $8.7 million of letters of credit outstanding against our Credit Agreement. We had $47.6 million of available borrowing capacity, net of the outstanding borrowings and letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2013. There are no compensating balance requirements. The average amounts outstanding under our Credit Agreement were $86.3 million in 2013, $75.4 million in 2012 and $67.8 million in 2011 with corresponding effective interest rates, including commitment fees, of 2.2% in 2013, 2.4% in 2012 and 1.8% in 2011. The carrying amount and fair value of borrowings outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement was $93.7 million at December 31, 2013.

 

Covenants relating to the Agreement require the maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth and specified financial ratios, limit our ability to incur additional debt, limit the aggregate amount of mortgage receivables and limit our ability to increase dividends in excess of 95% of cash available for distribution, unless additional distributions are required to comply with the applicable section of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and related regulations governing real estate investment trusts. We are in compliance with all of the covenants at December 31, 2013. We also believe that we would remain in compliance if the full amount of our commitment was borrowed.

(a) The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. Property-specific debt is detailed above.
(b) Consists of non-recourse debt with a fair value of approximately $106.4 million as of December 31, 2013. Changes in market rates on our fixed rate debt impacts the fair value of debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow. Excludes $80.1 million of combined third-party debt outstanding as of December 31, 2013, that is non-recourse to us, at the unconsolidated LLCs in which we hold various non-controlling ownership interests (see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements).
(c) Consists of $93.7 million of borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2013 under the terms of our $150 million Credit Agreement which matures on July 24, 2015. The amount outstanding approximates fair value as of December 31, 2013.
(d) Assumes that all debt outstanding as of December 31, 2013, including borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and the twelve loans, which are non-recourse to us, remain outstanding until the stated maturity date of the debt agreements at the same interest rates which were in effect as of December 31, 2013. We have the right to repay borrowings under the Credit Agreement and term loans at any time during the terms of the agreements, without penalty. Interest payments are expected to be paid utilizing cash flows from operating activities or borrowings under our revolving Credit Agreement.
(e) As of December 31, 2013, we have equity investment and debt financing commitments remaining in connection with our investments in various LLCs. As of December 31, 2013, we had outstanding letters of credit which secured the majority of these equity and debt financing commitments. The $47.6 million of available borrowing capacity as of December 31, 2013, pursuant to the terms of our Credit Agreement, is net of the standby letters of credit outstanding at that time. Our remaining financing commitments are as follows (in thousands):

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Market Risks Associated with Financial Instruments

 

As of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, we had no material outstanding interest rate swap agreements.

 

During the third quarter of 2013, we entered into an interest rate cap on a total notional amount of $10 million whereby we paid a premium of $136,000. Subsequent to the end of 2013, during the first quarter of 2014, we entered into two additional interest rate cap agreements on a total notional amount of $20 million whereby we paid premiums of $134,500. In exchange for the premium payments, the counterparties agreed to pay us the difference between 1.50% and one-month LIBOR if one-month LIBOR rises above 1.50% during the term of the cap. The caps expire on January 13, 2017.

Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management on a timely basis in order to comply with our disclosure obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the SEC rules thereunder.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during the fourth quarter of 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Based on its assessment, management has concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992), issued by the COSO. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Universal Health Realty Income Trust:

 

We have audited Universal Health Realty Income Trust’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Universal Health Realty Income Trust’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In our opinion, Universal Health Realty Income Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, and our report dated March 7, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Universal Health Realty Income Trust:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedule III real estate and accumulated depreciation. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule III are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule III real estate and accumulated depreciation when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Universal Health Realty Income Trust’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 7, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013

 

(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations

 

Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries (the “Trust”) is organized as a Maryland real estate investment trust. We invest in healthcare and human service related facilities including acute care hospitals, behavioral healthcare facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, sub-acute facilities, surgery centers, childcare centers and medical office buildings. As of February 28, 2014, we have fifty-eight real estate investments or commitments located in sixteen states consisting of:

 

   

seven hospital facilities including three acute care, one behavioral healthcare, one rehabilitation and two sub-acute;

 

   

forty-seven medical office buildings, including eleven owned by unconsolidated limited liability companies (“LLCs”), and;

 

   

four preschool and childcare centers.

 

Our future results of operations could be unfavorably impacted by continued deterioration in general economic conditions which could result in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or uninsured. Should that occur, it may result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings as well as a reduction in the revenues earned by the operators of our hospital facilities which would unfavorably impact our future bonus rentals (on the Universal Health Services, Inc. hospital facilities) and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms and the underlying value of the hospital properties. Additionally, the general real estate market has been unfavorably impacted by the deterioration in economic and credit market conditions which may adversely impact the underlying value of our properties. The tightening in the credit markets and the instability in certain banking and financial institutions over the past several years has not had a material impact on us. However, there can be no assurance that unfavorable credit market conditions will not materially increase our cost of borrowings and/or have a material adverse impact on our ability to finance our future growth through borrowed funds.

 

Management is unable to predict the effect, if any, that the factors discussed above will have on the operating results of our lessees or on their ability to meet their obligations under the terms of their leases with us. Management’s estimate of future cash flows from our leased properties could be materially affected in the near term, if certain of the leases are not renewed or renewed with less favorable terms at the end of their lease terms.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our revenues consist primarily of rentals received from tenants, which are comprised of minimum rent (base rentals), bonus rentals and reimbursements from tenants for their pro-rata share of expenses such as common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and utilities.

 

The minimum rent for all hospital facilities is fixed over the initial term or renewal term of the respective leases. Rental income recorded by our consolidated and unconsolidated medical office buildings (“MOBs”) relating to leases in excess of one year in length is recognized using the straight-line method under which contractual rents are recognized evenly over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. The amount of rental revenue resulting from straight-line rent adjustments is dependent on many factors including the nature and amount of any rental concessions granted to new tenants, scheduled rent increases under existing leases, as well as the acquisitions and sales of properties that have existing in-place leases with terms in excess of one year. As a result, the straight-line adjustments to rental revenue may vary from period-to-period. Bonus rents are recognized when earned based upon increases in each facility’s net revenue in excess of stipulated amounts. Bonus rentals are determined and paid each quarter based upon a computation that compares the respective facility’s current

quarter’s net revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base year. Tenant reimbursements for operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred.

 

Real Estate Investments

 

On the date of acquisition, the purchase price of a property is allocated to the property’s land, buildings and intangible assets based upon our estimates of their fair values. Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases, above market leases and leasehold interest in land at the time of acquisition. Substantially all of our intangible assets consist of the value of in-place leases at December 31, 2013, and will be amortized over the remaining lease terms (aggregate weighted average of 3.5 years) and will result in an estimated aggregate amortization expense of $4.6 million, $3.9 million, $3.4 million $2.9 million and $1.7 million for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Amortization expense on intangible values of in place leases was $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $836,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and capital improvements. The estimated original useful lives of our buildings ranges from 25-45 years and the estimated original useful lives of capital improvements ranges from 3-35 years. On a consolidated basis, depreciation expense was $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Asset Impairment

 

Real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property might not be recoverable. A property to be held and used is considered impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows, less estimated capital expenditures, to be generated by the property, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying value of the property. This estimate takes into consideration factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, local market conditions and other factors.

 

The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by management, including the expected course of action at the balance sheet date that would lead to such cash flows. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in anticipated action to be taken with respect to the property could impact the determination of whether an impairment exists and whether the effects could materially impact our net income. To the extent estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.

 

Assessment of the recoverability by us of certain lease related costs must be made when we have reason to believe that a tenant might not be able to perform under the terms of the lease as originally expected. This requires us to make estimates as to the recoverability of such costs. If we determine that the intangible assets are not recoverable from future cash flows, the excess of carrying value of the intangible asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded an asset impairment charge of $5.4 million in connection with an MOB located on a medical campus in Atlanta, Georgia. The asset impairment charge was recorded after evaluation of property and location-specific factors including pressure on rental and occupancy rates caused, in part, by the impact of continued unfavorable economic conditions in the market as well as competitive pressures caused by increased capacity added to the market. The fair value of this property was determined based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows.

 

An other than temporary impairment of an investment/advance in an LLC is recognized when the carrying value of the investment is not considered recoverable based on evaluation of the severity and duration of the

decline in value, including projected declines in cash flow. To the extent impairment has occurred, the excess carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

 

Investments in Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”)

 

Our consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of our controlled investments and those investments that meet the criteria of a variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary. In accordance with the FASB’s standards and guidance relating to accounting for investments and real estate ventures, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. The third-party members in these investments have equal voting rights with regards to issues such as, but not limited to: (i) divestiture of property; (ii) annual budget approval, and; (iii) financing commitments. These investments, which represent 33% to 95% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to, and distributions from, the investments. Pursuant to certain agreements, allocations of sales proceeds and profits and losses of some of the LLC investments may be allocated disproportionately as compared to ownership interests after specified preferred return rate thresholds have been satisfied.

 

At December 31, 2013, we have non-controlling equity investments or commitments in thirteen LLCs which own medical office buildings (including Palmdale Medical Properties, LLC and Sparks Medical Properties, LLC which, as discussed below, we purchased the minority ownership interests effective January 1, 2014 and now hold 100% of the ownership interests of these entities). As of December 31, 2013, we accounted for these LLCs on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since they are not variable interest entities. Palmdale Medical Properties was consolidated in our financial statements through June 30, 2013. As discussed below, the master lease with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS related to Palmdale Medical Properties expired effective as of July 1, 2013 and, as of that date, we began accounting for Palmdale Medical Properties under the equity method.

 

The majority of these LLCs are joint-ventures between us and a non-related party that manages and holds minority ownership interests in the entities. Each LLC is generally self-sustained from a cash flow perspective and generates sufficient cash flow to meet its operating cash flow requirements and service the third-party debt (if applicable) that is non-recourse to us. Although there is typically no ongoing financial support required from us to these entities since they are cash-flow sufficient, we may, from time to time, provide funding for certain purposes such as, but not limited to, significant capital expenditures, leasehold improvements and debt financing. Although we are not obligated to do so, if approved by us at our sole discretion, additional cash fundings are typically advanced as equity or member loans.

 

Palmdale Medical Properties had a master lease with a subsidiary of UHS through June 30, 2013. Additionally, UHS of Delaware, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as advisor to us under the terms of an advisory agreement and manages our day-to-day affairs. All of our officers are officers or employees of UHS (through UHS of Delaware, Inc.). As a result of our related-party relationship with UHS and the master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements with subsidiaries of UHS, we have accounted for this LLC on a consolidated basis, since its inception in the fourth quarter of 2007 through June 30, 2013, since it was a variable interest entity and we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary. As of July 1, 2013, the master lease expired and this LLC is no longer considered a variable interest entity and we therefore began to account for this LLC on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method as of July 1, 2013. The expiration of the master lease and related deconsolidation did not have a material impact on our net income and funds from operations during the second half of 2013.

 

As a result of master lease arrangements between UHS and various LLCs in which we hold or held majority non-controlling ownership interests, we have consolidated or deconsolidated these LLCs as required in accordance with the FASB’s standards and guidance.

 

66


Table of Contents

Effective January 1, 2014, we purchased the third-party minority ownership interests in two LLCs (Palmdale Medical Properties and Sparks Medical Properties) in which we formerly held non-controlling majority ownership interest. As a result of our purchase of the minority ownership interests, we now hold 100% of the ownership interests in these LLCs which own MOBs and will begin accounting for them on a consolidated basis effective January 1, 2014. Each of the property’s assets and liabilities will be recorded at their fair values (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure). We do not expect these transactions or the expected related aggregate gain (to be recorded during the first quarter of 2014) to have a material impact on our future results of operations.

 

In addition, effective December 12, 2011, as a result of our purchases of third-party minority ownership interests in eleven LLCs in which we formerly held non-controlling majority ownership interests, we now hold 100% of the ownership interest in these LLCs which own MOBs and are accounted for on a consolidated basis, as discussed herein (see Notes 3 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure).

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

No provision has been made for federal income tax purposes since we qualify as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and intend to continue to remain so qualified. As such, we are exempt from federal income taxes and we are required to distribute at least 90% of our real estate investment taxable income to our shareholders.

 

We are subject to a federal excise tax computed on a calendar year basis. The excise tax equals 4% of the amount by which 85% of our ordinary income plus 95% of any capital gain income for the calendar year exceeds cash distributions during the calendar year, as defined. No provision for excise tax has been reflected in the financial statements as no tax was due.

 

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal tax purposes in the cost basis of assets and in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and the recording of provision for impairment losses.

 

The aggregate gross cost basis and net book value of the properties for federal income tax purposes are approximately $382 million and $256 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We expense the grant-date fair value of stock options and restricted stock awards over the vesting period. We recognize the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation and account for these transactions using the fair-value based method. We use the Black-Scholes model as our option pricing model for determining the grant-date fair value of our stock options.

 

The expense associated with share-based compensation arrangements is a non-cash charge. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, share-based compensation expense is an adjustment to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities.

 

Fair Value

 

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and determined based upon the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, accounting requirements establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Level 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified

 

67


Table of Contents

within Level 3 of the hierarchy). In instances when it is necessary to establish the fair value of our real estate investments and investments in LLCs we use unobservable inputs which are typically based on our own assumptions.

 

The fair value of our real estate investments, components of real estate investments and debt assumed in conjunction with acquisition and impairment activity, are considered to be Level 3 valuations as they are primarily based upon an income capitalization approach. Significant inputs into the models used to determine fair value of real estate investments and components of real estate investments include future cash flow projections, holding period, terminal capitalization rate and discount rates. Additionally the fair value of land takes into consideration comparable sales, as adjusted for site specific factors. The fair value of real estate investments is based upon significant judgments made by management, and accordingly, we typically obtain assistance from third party valuation specialists. Significant inputs into the models used to determine the fair value of assumed mortgages included the outstanding balance, term, stated interest rate and current market rate of the mortgage.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Accordingly, these items are excluded from the fair value disclosures included elsewhere in these notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

See Note 3-Acquisitions and Dispositions, for disclosure related to the $28.6 million net gain recorded during 2011 in connection with the fair value recognition of the assets and liabilities, including third-party debt, resulting from the purchase of minority ownership interests in majority-owned LLCs.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

Except as noted below, there were no new accounting pronouncements during 2013 that impacted, or are expected to impact, us.

 

In February, 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update on reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This guidance, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2012, required companies to provide information about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component (the respective line items of the income statement). The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance allowing the use of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the United States government and the LIBOR. In addition, the guidance removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The guidance became effective on a prospective basis for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013, and did not have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.

(2)   RELATIONSHIP WITH UHS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Leases:    We commenced operations in 1986 by purchasing properties of certain subsidiaries from UHS and immediately leasing the properties back to the respective subsidiaries. Most of the leases were entered into at the time we commenced operations and provided for initial terms of 13 to 15 years with up to six additional 5-year renewal terms. The current base rentals and lease and rental terms for each facility are provided below. The base rents are paid monthly and each lease also provides for additional or bonus rents which are computed and paid on a quarterly basis based upon a computation that compares current quarter revenue to a corresponding quarter in the base year. The leases with subsidiaries of UHS are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another.

 

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the UHS hospital facilities accounted for approximately 41% of our total revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2013 (approximately 30% for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and 55% for the year ended December 31, 2011). The decrease during 2013 and 2012 as compared to 2011 is due primarily to the December, 2011 purchase of the third-party minority ownership interests in eleven LLCs in which we previously held noncontrolling majority ownership interests (we began recording the financial results of the entities in our financial statements on a consolidated basis at that time) and various acquisitions of medical office buildings (“MOBs”) and clinics completed during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. Including 100% of the revenues generated at the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 95%, the leases on the UHS hospital facilities accounted for approximately 20% of the combined consolidated and unconsolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2013 (approximately 22% for the year ended December 31, 2013, 21% for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 19% for the year ended December 31, 2011). In addition, twelve MOBs, that are either wholly or jointly-owned, include or will include tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS.

 

Pursuant to the Master Lease Document by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 (the “Master Lease”), which governs the leases of all hospital properties with subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the option to renew the leases at the lease terms described below by providing notice to us at least 90 days prior to the termination of the then current term. In addition, UHS has rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for 180 days after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for 180 days after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer. UHS also has the right to purchase the respective leased facilities at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms at the appraised fair market value. In addition, the Master Lease, as amended during 2006, includes a change of control provision whereby UHS has the right, upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, to purchase any or all of the four leased hospital properties listed below at their appraised fair market value.

 

The table below details the existing lease terms and renewal options for each of the UHS hospital facilities, giving effect to the above-mentioned renewals:

   Behavioral Health    $ 930,000         December, 2014         10 (c) 

 

(a) UHS has three 5-year renewal options at existing lease rates (through 2031).
(b) UHS has one 5-year renewal option at existing lease rates (through 2021) and two 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2022 through 2031).
(c) UHS has two 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2015 through 2024).

 

69


Table of Contents

Management cannot predict whether the leases with subsidiaries of UHS, which have renewal options at existing lease rates or fair market value lease rates, or any of our other leases, will be renewed at the end of their lease term. If the leases are not renewed at their current rates or the fair market value lease rates, we would be required to find other operators for those facilities and/or enter into leases on terms potentially less favorable to us than the current leases. The Bridgeway’s lease term is scheduled to end in December, 2014. We can provide no assurance that this lease will be renewed at the fair market value lease rate.

 

As discussed above, Palmdale Medical Plaza, which is located in Palmdale, California, on the campus of a UHS hospital, had a master lease commitment by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS which expired on June 30, 2013. This MOB, tenants of which include subsidiaries of UHS, was completed and opened during the third quarter of 2008 at which time the master lease commenced. The LLC that owns this MOB was deemed to be a variable interest entity during the term of the master lease and was therefore consolidated in our financial statements through June 30, 2013 since we were the primary beneficiary through that date. Effective July 1, 2013, this LLC is no longer be deemed a variable interest entity and is accounted for in our financial statements on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method.

 

Effective January 1, 2014, we purchased the third-party minority ownership interests in two LLCs (Palmdale Medical Properties and Sparks Medical Properties) in which we formerly held non-controlling majority ownership interest. As a result of our purchase of the minority ownership interests, we now hold 100% of the ownership interests in these LLCs (which own MOBs) and will begin accounting for them on a consolidated basis effective January 1, 2014.

 

We have funded $2.1 million in equity as of December 31, 2013, and are committed to fund an additional $2.3 million, in exchange for a 95% non-controlling equity interest in an LLC (Texoma Medical Properties) that developed, constructed, owns and operates the Texoma Medical Plaza located in Denison, Texas, which was completed and opened during the first quarter of 2010. This MOB is located on the campus of a UHS acute care hospital which is owned and operated by Texoma Medical Center (“Texoma Hospital”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. This MOB has tenants that include subsidiaries of UHS. This LLC has a third-party term loan of $12.5 million, which is non-recourse to us, outstanding as of December 31, 2013. As this LLC is not considered to be a variable interest entity and does not meet the other criteria requiring consolidation of an investment, it is accounted for pursuant to the equity method.

 

Advisory Agreement:    UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to us under an Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) dated December 24, 1986. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. All transactions between us and UHS must be approved by the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS (the “Independent Trustees”). In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees, that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. In December of 2013, based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses, as compared to an industry peer group, the Advisory Agreement was renewed for 2014 pursuant to the same terms as the Advisory Agreement in place during 2013. In December of 2012, based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses, as compared to an industry peer group, the 2013 advisory fee, as compared to the 2012 advisory fee, was increased to 0.70% (from 0.65%) of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheet.

 

The average real estate assets for advisory fee calculation purposes exclude certain items from our consolidated balance sheet such as, among other things, accumulated depreciation, cash and cash equivalents, base and bonus rent receivables, deferred charges and other assets. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year-end based upon our audited financial statements. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to an

 

70


Table of Contents

annual incentive fee equal to 20% of the amount by which cash available for distribution to shareholders for each year, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, exceeds 15% of our equity as shown on our consolidated balance sheet, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles without reduction for return of capital dividends. The Advisory Agreement defines cash available for distribution to shareholders as net cash flow from operations less deductions for, among other things, amounts required to discharge our debt and liabilities and reserves for replacement and capital improvements to our properties and investments. No incentive fees were paid during 2013, 2012 or 2011 since the incentive fee requirements were not achieved. Advisory fees incurred and paid (or payable) to UHS amounted to $2.4 million during 2013, $2.1 million during 2012 and $2.0 million during 2011 and were based upon average invested real estate assets of $338 million, $326 million and $309 million during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Officers and Employees:    Our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and although as of December 31, 2013 we had no salaried employees, our officers do typically receive annual stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock. In special circumstances, if warranted and deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, our officers may also receive one-time special compensation awards in the form of restricted stock and/or cash bonuses.

 

Share Ownership:    As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, UHS owned 6.1% and 6.2%, respectively, of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest.

 

SEC reporting requirements of UHS:    UHS is subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC and is required to file annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. Since the leases on the hospital facilities leased to wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS comprised approximately 30% of our consolidated revenues for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and 55% of our consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, and since a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor, you are encouraged to obtain the publicly available filings for Universal Health Services, Inc. from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. These filings are the sole responsibility of UHS and are not incorporated by reference herein.

 

(3)   ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

 

2014:

 

Acquisitions:

 

In January, 2014, we purchased the following in a single transaction:

 

   

The Children’s Clinic at Springdale – a 9,800 square foot, single-tenant medical office building located in Springdale, Arkansas, and;

 

   

The Northwest Medical Center at Sugar Creek – a 16,700 square foot, multi-tenant medical office building located in Bentonville, Arkansas.

 

The aggregate purchase price for these MOBs was approximately $7.2 million. The net tangible and intangible property preliminary asset allocation of the total purchase price will be recorded during the first quarter of 2014, subject to a third-party fair market valuation.

 

Additionally, effective January 1, 2014, we purchased the minority ownership interests held by third-party members in two LLCs in which we previously held noncontrolling majority ownership interests (Palmdale Medical Properties and Sparks Medical Properties). As a result of these minority ownership purchases, we now own 100% of each of these LLCs and will begin accounting for each on a consolidated basis effective January 1, 2014. The aggregate cash payment made by us during the first quarter of 2014 in connection with the purchase of these minority ownership interests was approximately $170,000. Each of the property’s assets and liabilities will be recorded at their estimated fair values during the first quarter of 2014. We do not expect these transactions, or the expected related aggregate gain (to be recorded during the first quarter of 2014), to have a material impact on our future results of operations.

2013:

 

Acquisition:

 

In August, 2013, we purchased the Ward Eagle Office Village located in Farmington Hills, Michigan. This multi-tenant MOB, which was purchased for approximately $4.1 million, consists of approximately 16,300 rentable square feet.

 

In June, 2013, we purchased the 5004 Poole Road MOB, located in Denison, Texas, on the campus of Texoma Medical Center, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. This single-tenant MOB, which was purchased for approximately $625,000, consists of approximately 4,400 rentable square feet and is located adjacent to our Texoma Medical Plaza MOB.

 

The aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.7 million for these MOBs was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired consisting of tangible property and identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at acquisition, as detailed in the table below. Substantially all of the intangible assets include the value of the in-place leases at Ward Eagle Office Village at the time of acquisition which will be amortized over the average remaining lease term of approximately 9.8 years.

The Ward Eagle Office Village acquisition was valued utilizing the income capitalization approach. The calculated fair value, utilizing the income capitalization approach, is based upon the basis of capitalization of the net estimated earnings expectancy of the property, assuming continued use similar to the existing use of the acquired property’s continued cash flow analysis were also utilized in estimating the fair value of the property, whereby cash flows from the various tenants are calculated based upon lease commencement and termination dates.

 

New Construction:

 

The newly constructed Forney Medical Plaza II located in Forney, Texas was completed and opened in April, 2013. This multi-tenant medical office building, consisting of 30,000 rentable square feet, is owned by a limited partnership in which we hold a 95% non-controlling ownership interest. As this LLC is not considered to be a variable interest entity, it is accounted for pursuant to the equity method.

 

Divestitures:

 

There were no divestitures during 2013.

 

2012:

 

Acquisitions and New Construction:

 

In January and December, 2012, we purchased the:

 

   

PeaceHealth Medical Clinic (as part of a planned like-kind exchange transaction pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code) – a 99,000 square foot, single tenant medical office building located in Bellingham, Washington, which was acquired in January, 2012 for $30.4 million; the weighted average remaining lease term on the date of acquisition was approximately ten years, and;

Northwest Texas Professional Office Tower – a 72,000 square foot, multi-tenant medical office building located in Amarillo, Texas, which was acquired in December, 2012 for $9.6 million; the weighted average remaining lease term at the date of acquisition was 5.1 years.

 

The aggregate purchase price of $40.0 million for these MOBs was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired consisting of tangible property and identified intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at acquisition, as detailed in the table below. Substantially all of the intangible assets include the value of the in-place leases at the time of acquisition which are being amortized over the then average remaining lease term of approximately 7.0 years (aggregate weighted average of 4.9 years at December 31, 2013).

The 2012 acquisitions were both valued utilizing the income capitalization approach as well as the sales comparison approach for valuing the land at the PeaceHealth Medical Clinic. The calculated fair values, utilizing the income capitalization approach, are based upon the basis of capitalization of the net estimated earnings expectancy of the properties, assuming continued use similar to the existing use of the acquired property’s continued cash flow analysis were also utilized in estimating the fair values of the properties, whereby cash flows from the various tenants are calculated based upon lease commencement and termination dates.

For these MOBs acquired during 2012, we recorded aggregate revenue of $2.7 million and net income of approximately $232,000 (excluding transaction expenses of $680,000) during 2012.

 

Divestiture:

 

In February, 2012, Canyon Healthcare Properties, a limited liability company (“LLC”) in which we owned a 95% noncontrolling ownership interest, completed the divestiture of the Canyon Springs Medical Plaza. As partial consideration for the transaction, the buyer assumed an existing third-party mortgage related to this property. The divestiture by this LLC generated approximately $8.1 million of cash proceeds to us, net of closing

costs and the minority members’ share of the proceeds. This divestiture resulted in a gain of approximately $7.4 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

In October, 2012, 575 Hardy Investors, a LLC in which we owned a 90% non-controlling ownership interest, completed the divestiture of the Centinela Medical Building Complex. Including the repayment to us of a previously provided $8.0 million member loan, the divestiture by this LLC generated approximately $12.2 million of cash proceeds to us, net of closing costs and minority members’ share of the proceeds. This divestiture resulted in a gain of approximately $1.1 million, which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Assuming the 2012 acquisitions and divestitures, as well as the 2011 acquisitions and divestitures as discussed below, occurred on January 1, 2011, our pro forma net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 would have been approximately $54.0 million, and our pro forma net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 would have been approximately $4.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, without giving effect to the gains and transaction costs recorded during 2011. Our 2011 reported (and pro forma) net income included a provision for asset impairment of $5.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, as discussed herein. Assuming the 2012 acquisitions and divestitures occurred on January 1, 2012, our pro forma net revenues and net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 would have been approximately $55.4 million and $11.6 million, or $.92 per diluted share, respectively, without giving effect to the gains and transaction costs recorded during 2012.

 

2011:

 

Acquisitions:

 

In June, July and December, 2011, utilizing a qualified third-party intermediary in connection with planned like-kind exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, we purchased the:

 

   

Lake Pointe Medical Arts Building—a 50,974 square foot, multi-tenant, medical office building located in Rowlett, Texas, which was acquired in June, 2011, for $12.2 million; the weighted average remaining lease term at the date of acquisition was 6.5 years;

 

   

Forney Medical Plaza—a 50,946 square foot, multi-tenant medical office building located in Forney, Texas, which was acquired in July, 2011, for $15.0 million; the weighted average remaining lease term at the date of acquisition was 6.2 years;

 

   

Tuscan Professional Building—a 53,000 square foot, multi-tenant medical office building located in Irving, Texas, which was acquired in December, 2011, for $15.5 million, including the assumption of $7.0 million of third-party financing; the weighted average remaining lease term at the date of acquisition was 4.3 years, and;

 

   

Emory at Dunwoody Building—a 50,344 square foot single-tenant medical office building located in Atlanta, Georgia, which was acquired in December, 2011, for $5.1 million; the weighted average remaining lease term at the date of acquisition was 13.5 years.

The aggregate purchase price of $47.8 million for these MOBs was allocated to the assets acquired consisting of tangible property ($40.9 million) and identified intangible assets ($6.9 million), based on their respective fair values at acquisition, as detailed in the table below. Intangible assets include the value of the in-place leases at the time of acquisition.

For these MOBs acquired during 2011, we recorded aggregate revenue of $1.8 million during 2011 and aggregate net income of approximately $474,000 (excluding transaction expenses).

 

In addition, on December 12, 2011, the Trust purchased the minority ownership interests held by third-party members in eleven LLCs in which we previously held noncontrolling majority ownership interests. As a result of these minority ownership purchases, the Trust and our subsidiaries now own 100% of each of these LLCs. The aggregate cash expenditure made by us in connection with the purchase of these membership interests in the various LLCs, including closing costs, was approximately $4.4 million. As a result of these transactions, current accounting standards required that the Trust record each property’s assets and liabilities at their fair values and record a non-cash gain or loss for the difference between the fair values and the equity method carrying value of each investment. The aggregate fair values of these MOBs was allocated to the assets acquired consisting of tangible property ($133.1 million) and identified intangible assets ($20.9 million). As a result of the purchase of these minority interests, we recorded aggregate revenue of $18.3 million during 2012 and $991,000 during 2011. There was no material impact on our net income, other than the gain, as a result of the consolidation of these LLCs subsequent to this transaction.

 

In the aggregate, the purchase of these membership interests resulted in a $28.6 million gain (net of related transaction costs totaling approximately $300,000) on the fair value recognition resulting from the purchase of minority interests in majority-owned LLCs which is included in our consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2011. The table below reflects each of the LLCs in which we purchased the minority ownership interests, the location and property owned by the LLC, our previous noncontrolling, majority ownership interest and the noncontrolling, minority ownership interests purchased by us.

Divestitures:

 

On November 30, 2011 and December 16, 2011, eight LLCs in which we owned various noncontrolling, majority ownership interests, completed the divestitures of medical office buildings and related real property. As partial consideration for the transaction, the buyer assumed certain existing third-party mortgage debt related to the properties. For certain of the LLCs, the sale of the medical office buildings were part of a series of planned like-kind exchange transaction pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The divestiture by the eight LLCs generated approximately $33.8 million of aggregate cash proceeds (a portion of which were sent to qualified third-party intermediaries), net of closing costs and the minority members’ share of the proceeds. In the aggregate, these transactions also resulted in a $35.8 million gain (net of related transaction costs of approximately $500,000) on divestiture which is included in our consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2011. The following table represents each of the eight LLCs that was a selling party, the location and property owned by the LLC and our former noncontrolling, majority ownership interest:

Assuming these 2011 acquisitions and divestitures occurred on January 1, 2011, our 2011 pro forma net revenues would have been approximately $49.8 million and our pro forma net income would have been

Table of Contents

approximately $4.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, without giving effect to the gains and transaction costs recorded during 2011. Our 2011 reported (and pro forma) net income included a provision for asset impairment of $5.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, as discussed herein.

 

As of December 31, 2013, our net intangible assets total $20.8 million (net of $13.7 million accumulated amortization) and substantially all of the amount is related to acquired, in-place leases which have a weighted average remaining amortization period of 3.5 years.

 

(4) LEASES

 

All of our leases are classified as operating leases with initial terms typically ranging from 3 to 15 years with up to five additional, five-year renewal options. Under the terms of the leases, we earn fixed monthly base rents and pursuant to the leases with subsidiaries of UHS, we may earn periodic bonus rents (see Note 1). The bonus rents from the subsidiaries of UHS, which are based upon each facility’s net revenue in excess of base amounts, are computed and paid on a quarterly basis based upon a computation that compares current quarter revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base year.

 

Minimum future base rents from non-cancelable leases, excluding increases resulting from changes in the consumer price index, bonus rents and the impact of straight line rent, are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Total minimum base rents

     $206,060   
  

 

 

 

 

Some of the leases contain gross terms where operating expenses are included in the base rent amounts. Other leases contain net terms where the operating expenses are assessed separately from the base rentals. The table above contains a mixture of both gross and net leases, and does not include any separately calculated operating expense reimbursements. Under the terms of the hospital leases, the lessees are required to pay all operating costs of the properties including property insurance and real estate taxes. Tenants of the medical office buildings generally are required to pay their pro-rata share of the property’s operating costs.

 

(5)   DEBT

 

In July, 2011, we entered into a $150 million revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which is scheduled to expire on July 24, 2015. The Credit Agreement includes a $50 million sub limit for letters of credit and a $20 million sub limit for swingline/short-term loans. The Credit Agreement also provides an option to increase the total facility borrowing capacity by an additional $50 million, subject to lender agreement. Borrowings made pursuant to the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at one, two, three, or six month LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% or at the Base Rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50%. The Credit Agreement defines “Base Rate” as the greatest of: (a) the administrative agent’s prime rate; (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and; (c) one month LIBOR plus 1%. A fee of 0.30% to 0.50% will be charged on the unused portion of the commitment. The margins over LIBOR, Base Rate and the commitment fee are based upon our ratio of debt to total capital. At December 31, 2013, the applicable margin over the LIBOR rate was 2.00%, the margin over the Base Rate was 1.00%, and the commitment fee was 0.35%.

 

At December 31, 2013, we had $93.7 million of outstanding borrowings and $8.7 million of letters of credit outstanding against our revolving credit agreement. We had $47.6 million of available borrowing capacity, net of the outstanding borrowings and letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2013. There are no compensating balance requirements. The average amounts outstanding under our revolving credit agreement were $86.3 million

Table of Contents

in 2013, $75.4 million in 2012 and $67.8 million in 2011 with corresponding effective interest rates, including commitment fees, of 2.2% in 2013, 2.4% in 2012 and 1.8% in 2011. The carrying amount and fair value of borrowings outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement was $93.7 million at December 31, 2013.

 

Covenants relating to the Agreement require the maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth and specified financial ratios, limit our ability to incur additional debt, limit the aggregate amount of mortgage receivables and limit our ability to increase dividends in excess of 95% of cash available for distribution, unless additional distributions are required to comply with the applicable section of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and related regulations governing real estate investment trusts. We are in compliance with all of the covenants at December 31, 2013. We also believe that we would remain in compliance if the full amount of our commitment was borrowed.

 

The following table includes a summary of the required compliance ratios, giving effect to the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement (dollar amounts in thousands):

The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. The mortgages have a combined fair value of approximately $106.4 million as of December 31, 2013. Changes in market rates on our fixed rate debt impacts the fair value of debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow.

(6)   DIVIDENDS AND EQUITY ISSUANCE PROGRAM

 

Dividends of $2.495 per share were declared and paid in 2013, of which $1.96 per share was ordinary income and $.535 per share was a return of capital distribution. Dividends of $2.46 per share were declared and paid in 2012, of which $1.294 per share was ordinary income and $1.166 per share was total capital gain (total capital gain amount consists of Unrecaptured Section 1250 gain of $.281 per share and 15% rate gain of $.885 per share). Dividends of $2.425 per share were declared and paid in 2011, of which $1.234 per share was ordinary income and $1.191 per share was total capital gain (total capital gain amount consists of Unrecaptured Section 1250 gain of $.716 per share and 15% rate gain of $.475 per share).

 

During the fourth quarter of 2013, we entered into an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”), under which we may offer and sell our common shares of beneficial interest, up to an aggregate sales price of $50 million. The common shares will be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which became effective in November, 2012, under which we can offer up to $50 million of our securities pursuant to supplemental prospectuses which we may file from time to time.

 

Pursuant to this ATM Program, we issued 154,713 shares at an average price of $41.71 per share during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, which generated approximately $6.0 million of net cash proceeds, (net of approximately $424,000 consisting of compensation of approximately $161,000 to Merrill Lynch as well as approximately $263,000 of other various fees and expenses), which includes approximately $592,000 of net proceeds receivable at December 31, 2013, which were received by us in January, 2014. The net proceeds receivable is a non-cash item, as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows at December 31, 2013.

 

(7)   INCENTIVE PLANS

 

We expense the grant-date fair value of stock options and restricted stock awards under the straight-line method over the stated vesting period of the award. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the grant-date fair value of our stock options. All of our outstanding stock options have been fully expensed as of December 31, 2011.

 

During 2007, upon the expiration of our 1997 Incentive Plan, as discussed below, our Board of Trustees and shareholders approved the Universal Health Realty Income Trust 2007 Restricted Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”). A total of 75,000 shares were authorized for issuance under this plan and a total of 47,975 shares, net of cancellations, have been issued pursuant to the terms of this plan, 28,870 of which have vested as of

These restricted shares are scheduled to vest in June of 2014 (the second anniversary of the date of grant). Included the restricted stock issuances during 2012 were one-time special compensation awards made to our executive officers in recognition of their efforts and contributions in connection with various acquisitions, divestitures and purchases of third-party minority interests in certain majority-owned LLCs as completed at various times during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012.

 

During 2011, there were 7,395 restricted Shares of Beneficial Interest, net of cancellations, issued to the Trustees and officers of the Trust pursuant to the 2007 Plan at a weighted average grant price of $41.90 per share ($309,850 in the aggregate). These restricted shares vested during 2013.

 

In connection with these grants, we recorded compensation expense of approximately $375,000, $329,000 and $216,000 during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The remaining expenses associated with these grants is approximately $354,000 and will be recorded over the remaining weighted average vesting period for outstanding restricted Shares of Beneficial Interest of approximately one year at December 31, 2013.

 

Prior to its expiration in 2007, the Universal Health Realty Income Trust 1997 Incentive Plan (the “1997 Plan”) provided for the granting of stock options and dividend equivalents rights (“DERs”) to employees of the Trust, including officers and trustees. Awards granted pursuant to the 1997 Plan prior to its termination date remain exercisable, in accordance with the terms of the outstanding agreements. All stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of the grant. The options granted vested ratably at 25% per year beginning one year after the date of grant, and expire in ten years. DERs on outstanding awards are earned in amounts equal to the cash or stock dividends declared subsequent to the date of grant. We recorded expenses relating to the dividend equivalent rights of approximately $19,000 in 2013 and $18,000 in each of 2012 and 2011. As of December 31, 2013, there were 40,000 options outstanding and exercisable under the 1997 Plan with an average exercise price of $35.65 per share.

 

There were no compensation costs recognized during 2013 and 2012, and $12,000 of compensation costs during 2011, related to outstanding stock options and DERs that were granted or have vestings after January 1, 2006. As of December 31, 2011, all of the outstanding stock options and DERs were fully vested and fully expensed. The outstanding stock options have a remaining weighted average life of 2.5 years at December 31, 2013.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved amendments to the outstanding stock option agreements made pursuant to the 1997 Plan. These original agreements provided for the deferred payment of dividend equivalents on shares covered by the options, with payment tied to the date the options were exercised or expire. In order to meet certain recent changes to tax law requirements, the agreements, as amended, provide for the current payment of dividend equivalents in the years in which dividends are declared and paid or, if later, when the related options become vested. Dividend equivalent rights with respect to 40,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2013. Dividend equivalent rights with respect to 43,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2012. Dividend equivalent rights with respect to 51,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2011. In December of 2013, 2012 and 2011, dividend equivalent rights which were vested and accrued as of each respective date, were paid to officers and Trustees of the Trust amounting to $106,000, $116,000 and $178,000, respectively.

(8)   SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF EQUITY AFFILIATES

 

As of December 31, 2013, we have non-controlling equity investments or commitments in thirteen LLCs which own medical office buildings. As of December 31, 2013, we accounted for these LLCs on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since they are not variable interest entities. Palmdale Medical Properties was consolidated in our financial statements through June 30, 2013. As previously disclosed, the master lease with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS related to Palmdale Medical Properties expired effective as of July 1, 2013 and, as of that date, we began accounting for Palmdale Medical Properties under the equity method.

 

Additionally, we have 100% ownership interests in eleven LLCs as of December 31, 2013 that were accounted for under the equity method through December 11, 2011 as previously disclosed. These eleven LLCs were subsequently consolidated into the results of operations effective December 12, 2011.

 

The following property table represents the thirteen LLCs which were accounted for under the equity method as of December 31, 2013:

(c.) We have committed to invest up to $4.4 million in equity and debt financing, of which $2.1 million has been funded as of December 31, 2013.
(d.) During the third quarter of 2012, this limited partnership entered into an agreement to develop, construct, own and operate the Forney Medical Plaza II, which was completed and opened in April, 2013.

Table of Contents

On December 12, 2011, the Trust purchased the minority ownership interests held by third-party members in eleven LLCs in which we previously held noncontrolling majority ownership interests. As a result of these minority ownership purchases, the Trust and our subsidiaries now own 100% of each of these LLCs. The aggregate cash expenditure made by us in connection with the purchase of these membership interests in the various LLCs, including closing costs, was approximately $4.4 million. As a result of these transactions, accounting standards required that we record each property’s assets and liabilities at their fair values and record a non-cash gain or loss for the difference between the fair values and the equity method carrying value of each investment. In the aggregate, the purchase of these membership interests resulted in a $28.6 million gain on fair value recognition resulting from the purchase of the minority interests which is included in our consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2011. On December 12, 2011, we began consolidating the financial data of these eleven LLCs in our consolidated financial statements. The following property table represents these eleven LLCs (the summarized financial data for these eleven LLCs through December 11, 2011, are included in the financial tables below, which summarize the combined statements of income and combined balance sheets for the LLCs accounted for under the equity method):

On November 30, 2011 and December 16, 2011, eight LLCs in which we owned various noncontrolling, majority ownership interests, completed the divestitures of medical office buildings and related real property. As partial consideration for the transaction, the buyer assumed certain existing third-party mortgage debt related to the properties. For certain of the LLCs, the sale of the medical office buildings were part of a series of planned like-kind exchange transaction pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The divestiture by the eight LLCs generated approximately $33.8 million of aggregate cash proceeds (a portion of which were sent to qualified third-party intermediaries), net of closing costs and the minority members’ share of the proceeds. In the aggregate, these transactions also resulted in a $35.8 million gain on divestiture which is included in our consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2011. The following property table represents the eight LLCs that divested medical office buildings on November 30, 2011 and December 16, 2011 (the summarized financial data for these eight LLCs through the date of divestiture are included in the financial tables below, which summarize the combined statements of income and combined balance sheets for the LLCs accounted for under the equity method):

(a.) We believe the terms of this loan are within current market underwriting criteria. At this time, we expect to refinance this loan during 2014 for three to ten year terms at the then current market interest rates. In the unexpected event that we are unable to refinance this loan on reasonable terms, we will explore other financing alternatives, including, among other things, potentially increasing our equity investment in the property utilizing funds borrowed under our revolving credit facility.

Pursuant to the operating agreements of the jointly-owned LLCs, the third-party member and the Trust, at any time, have the right to make an offer (“Offering Member”) to the other member(s) (“Non-Offering Member”) in which it either agrees to: (i) sell the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member to the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Sell”) at a price as determined by the Offering Member (“Transfer Price”), or; (ii) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Purchase”) at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The Non-Offering Member has 60 days to either: (i) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member at the Transfer Price, or; (ii) sell its entire ownership interest to the Offering Member at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The closing of the transfer must occur within 60 days of the acceptance by the Non-Offering Member.

 

The LLCs in which we have invested maintain property insurance on all properties. Although we believe that generally our properties are adequately insured, two of the LLCs in which we own various non-controlling equity interests, own properties in California that are located in earthquake zones. These properties, in which we have invested or advanced a total of $16.3 million at December 31, 2013, are not covered by earthquake insurance since earthquake insurance is no longer available at rates which are economical in relation to the risks covered.

 

(9)   SEGMENT REPORTING

 

Our primary business is investing in and leasing healthcare and human service facilities through direct ownership or through joint ventures, which aggregate into a single reportable segment. We actively manage our portfolio of healthcare and human service facilities and may from time to time make decisions to sell lower performing properties not meeting our long-term investment objectives. The proceeds of sales are typically reinvested in new developments or acquisitions, which we believe will meet our planned rate of return. It is our intent that all healthcare and human service facilities will be owned or developed for investment purposes. Our revenue and net income are generated from the operation of our investment portfolio.

 

Our portfolio is located throughout the United States, however, we do not distinguish or group our operations on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or measuring performance. We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore, we define an operating segment as our individual properties. Individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature and economics of the facilities, tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term average financial performance.

(a.) We began reflecting the operating results for Palmdale Medical Plaza on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method as of July 1, 2013. Prior to July 1, 2013, the financial results of this entity were recorded on a consolidated basis. The revenues for the first and second quarters of 2013, as reflected above, include the revenue for Palmdale Medical Plaza. There was no material impact to our net income as a result of the deconsolidation of this property.
(b.) During the first and fourth quarters of 2012, as previously discussed in Note 3, two LLCs in which we owned various noncontrolling, majority ownership interests, completed the divestitures of medical office buildings. As a result, the net income amounts presented for 2012 include amounts only up to the divested date for each of these two LLCs. In the aggregate, these divestitures resulted in an $8.5 million gain which is included in our consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2012.
