HEALTH CARE REIT, INC.

  NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

1. Business

 

     Health Care REIT, Inc., an S&P 500 company with headquarters in Toledo, Ohio, is an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in seniors housing and health care real estate. Our full service platform offers property management and development services to our customers. As of June 30, 2015, our diversified portfolio consisted of 1,411 properties in 46 states, the United Kingdom, and Canada.  Founded in 1970, we were the first real estate investment trust to invest exclusively in health care facilities.

  

2. Accounting Policies and Related Matters

     Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

     New Accounting Standards     

     In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). The standard is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted beginning after December 15, 2016.  We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

     In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”), which makes certain changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model, including changes to (1) the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), (2) the variable interest entity characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (3) the primary beneficiary determination.  ASU 2015-02 is effective beginning January 1, 2016.  We are continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.  The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected.  Upon adoption, we will apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis and adjust the balance sheet of each individual period presented to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance.  The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2016.  We are continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

  

3. Real Property Acquisitions and Development

 

     The total purchase price for all properties acquired has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests based upon their respective fair values in accordance with our accounting policies. The results of operations for these acquisitions have been included in our consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition and are a component of the appropriate segments.  Transaction costs primarily represent costs incurred with property acquisitions, including due diligence costs, fees for legal and valuation services and termination of pre-existing relationships computed based on the fair value of the assets acquired, lease termination fees and other acquisition-related costs.  Certain of our subsidiaries’ functional currencies are the local currencies of their respective countries. See Note 2 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for information regarding our foreign currency policies.

We recorded no provision for loan losses during the six months ended June 30, 2015.  At June 30, 2015, we had real estate loans with outstanding balances of $21,000,000 on non-accrual status with an allowance for loan losses of $0.

 

7. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

 

      We participate in a number of joint ventures, which generally invest in seniors housing and health care real estate.  The results of operations for these properties have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition by the joint ventures and are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as income or loss from unconsolidated entities.  The following is a summary of our investments in unconsolidated entities (dollars in thousands):

     At June 30, 2015, the aggregate unamortized basis difference of our joint venture investments of $166,000,000 is primarily attributable to appreciation of the underlying properties and transaction costs.  This difference will be amortized over the remaining useful life of the related properties and included in the reported amount of income from unconsolidated entities.

  

8. Credit Concentration

     We use net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) as our credit concentration metric.  See Note 17 for additional information and reconciliation. The following table summarizes certain information about our credit concentration for the six month period ending June 30, 2015, excluding our share of NOI in unconsolidated entities (dollars in thousands):

9. Borrowings Under Credit Facilities and Related Items

     At June 30, 2015, we had a primary unsecured credit facility with a consortium of 28 banks that includes a $2,500,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility, a $500,000,000 unsecured term credit facility and a $250,000,000 Canadian-denominated unsecured term credit facility.  We have an option, through an accordion feature, to upsize the unsecured revolving credit facility and the $500,000,000 unsecured term credit facility by up to an additional $1,000,000,000 and the $250,000,000 Canadian-denominated unsecured term credit facility by up to an additional $250,000,000.  The primary unsecured credit facility also allows us to borrow up to $500,000,000 in alternate currencies (none outstanding at June 30, 2015).  Borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility are subject to interest payable at the applicable margin over LIBOR interest rate (1.112% at June 30, 2015). The applicable margin is based on certain of our debt ratings and was 0.925% at June 30, 2015.  In addition, we pay a facility fee quarterly to each bank based on the bank’s commitment amount.  The facility fee depends on certain of our debt ratings and was 0.15% at June 30, 2015.  The primary unsecured credit facility is scheduled to expire October 31, 2018 and can be extended for an additional year at our option.

10. Senior Unsecured Notes and Secured Debt

 

     We may repurchase, redeem or refinance convertible and non-convertible senior unsecured notes from time to time, taking advantage of favorable market conditions when available. We may purchase senior notes for cash through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, a tender offer or, in some cases, through the early redemption of such securities pursuant to their terms.   The non-convertible senior unsecured notes are redeemable at our option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (1) the principal amount of the notes (or portion of such notes) being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to the redemption date and (2) any “make-whole” amount due under the terms of the notes in connection with early redemptions.   Redemptions and repurchases of debt, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.   At June 30, 2015, the annual principal payments due on these debt obligations were as follows (in thousands):

(5) On July 25, 2014, we refinanced the funding on a $250,000,000 Canadian-denominated unsecured term credit facility (approximately $200,417,000 based on the Canadian/U.S. Dollar exchange rate on June 30, 2015).  The loan matures on October 31, 2018 (with an option to extend for an additional year at our discretion) and bears interest at the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate plus 97.5 basis points (2.0% at June 30, 2015).

 

(6) On July 25, 2014, we refinanced the funding on a $500,000,000 unsecured term credit facility.  The loan matures on October 31, 2018 (with an option to extend for one additional year at our discretion) and bears interest at LIBOR plus 97.5 basis points (1.16% at June 30, 2015).

 

(7) On November 20, 2013, we completed the sale of £550,000,000 (approximately $865,370,000 based on the Sterling/U.S. Dollar exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2015) of 4.8% senior unsecured notes due 2028.

 

(8) On November 25, 2014, we completed the sale of £500,000,000 (approximately $786,700,000 based on the Sterling/U.S. Dollar exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2015) of 4.5% senior unsecured notes due 2034.

     Our debt agreements contain various covenants, restrictions and events of default. Certain agreements require us to maintain certain financial ratios and minimum net worth and impose certain limits on our ability to incur indebtedness, create liens and make investments or acquisitions. As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt agreements.

 

11. Derivative Instruments

      We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates.  We may elect to use financial derivative instruments to hedge interest rate exposure. These decisions are principally based on our policy to manage the general trend in interest rates at the applicable dates and our perception of the future volatility of interest rates.  In addition, non-U.S. investments expose us to the potential losses associated with adverse changes in foreign currency to U.S. Dollar exchange rates.  We may elect to manage this risk through the use of forward contracts and issuing debt in foreign currencies.

  

     nterest Rate Swap Contracts and Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

     For instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”), and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods, during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings.  Approximately $441,000 of gains, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months.

     Foreign Currency Hedges

     For instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, the variability in the foreign currency to U.S. Dollar of the instrument is recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment component of OCI.  During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we settled certain net investment hedges generating cash proceeds of $72,477,000.  The balance of the cumulative translation adjustment will be reclassified to earnings when the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

(1) In April 2011, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the real estate assets of privately-owned Genesis Healthcare Corporation. In conjunction with this transaction, we received the option to acquire an ownership interest in Genesis Healthcare. In February 2015, Genesis Healthcare closed on a transaction to merge with Skilled Healthcare Group to become a publicly traded company which required us to record the value of the derivative asset due to the net settlement feature.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

     At June 30, 2015, we had eight outstanding letter of credit obligations totaling $75,553,000 and expiring between 2015 and 2018.  At June 30, 2015, we had outstanding construction in progress of $159,352,000 and were committed to providing additional funds of approximately $402,894,000 to complete construction.  Purchase obligations include contingent purchase obligations totaling $39,941,000. These contingent purchase obligations relate to unfunded capital improvement obligations and contingent obligations on acquisitions. Rents due from the tenant are increased to reflect the additional investment in the property. 

     We evaluate our leases for operating versus capital lease treatment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 840 “Leases.”  A lease is classified as a capital lease if it provides for transfer of ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, contains a bargain purchase option, has a lease term greater than 75% of the economic life of the leased asset, or if the net present value of the future minimum lease payments are in excess of 90% of the fair value of the leased asset. Certain leases contain bargain purchase options and have been classified as capital leases.  At June 30, 2015, we had operating lease obligations of $944,824,000 relating to certain ground leases and company office space and capital lease obligations of $100,935,000 relating primarily to certain investment properties. Regarding ground leases, we have sublease agreements with certain of our operators that require the operators to reimburse us for our monthly operating lease obligations.  At June 30, 2015, aggregate future minimum rentals to be received under these noncancelable subleases totaled $27,976,000.

14. Stock Incentive Plans

     Our Amended and Restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan”) authorizes up to 6,200,000 shares of common stock to be issued at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Our non-employee directors, officers and key employees are eligible to participate in the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan allows for the issuance of, among other things, stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock units and dividend equivalent rights. Vesting periods for options, deferred stock units and restricted shares generally range from three to five years. Options expire ten years from the date of grant.  Stock-based compensation expense totaled $11,124,000 and $20,178,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $14,170,000 and $21,837,000 for the same periods in 2014.

16. Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

      U.S. GAAP provides authoritative guidance for measuring and disclosing fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  The guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Please see Note 2 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for additional information.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

 

Mortgage Loans and Other Real Estate Loans Receivable — The fair value of mortgage loans and other real estate loans receivable is generally estimated by using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs such as discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Available-for-sale Equity Investments — Available-for-sale equity investments are recorded at their fair value based on Level 1 publicly available trading prices.

21


HEALTH CARE REIT, INC.

  NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

 

Borrowings Under Primary Unsecured Credit Facility — The carrying amount of the primary unsecured credit facility approximates fair value because the borrowings are interest rate adjustable.

 

Senior Unsecured Notes — The fair value of the fixed rate senior unsecured notes payable was estimated based on Level 1 publicly available trading prices. The carrying amount of variable rate senior unsecured notes payable approximates fair value because the borrowings are interest rate adjustable.

 

Secured Debt — The fair value of fixed rate secured debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.  The carrying amount of variable rate secured debt approximates fair value because the borrowings are interest rate adjustable.

 

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts — Foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in other assets or other liabilities on the balance sheet at fair market value.  Fair market value is determined using Level 2 inputs by estimating the future value of the currency pair based on existing exchange rates, comprised of current spot and traded forward points, and calculating a present value of the net amount using a discount factor based on observable traded interest rates.

 

Redeemable OP Unitholder Interests — The fair value of our redeemable unitholder interests are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value using Level 2 inputs.  The fair value is measured using the closing price of our common stock, as units may be redeemed at the election of the holder for cash or, at our option, one share of our common stock per unit, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we also have assets and liabilities in our balance sheet that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  As these assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, they are not included in the tables above. Assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include those acquired/assumed in business combinations (see Note 3) and asset impairments (if applicable, see Note 5 for impairments of real property and Note 6 for impairments of loans receivable). We have determined that the fair value measurements included in each of these assets and liabilities rely primarily on company-specific inputs and our assumptions about the use of the assets and settlement of liabilities, as observable inputs are not available. As such, we have determined that each of these fair value measurements generally reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We estimate the fair value of real estate and related intangibles using the income approach and unobservable data such as net operating income and estimated capitalization and discount rates.  We also consider local and national industry market data including comparable sales, and commonly engage an external real estate appraiser to assist us in our estimation of fair value.  We estimate the fair value of assets held for sale based on current sales price expectations or, in the absence of such price expectations, Level 3 inputs described above.  We estimate the fair value of secured debt assumed in business combinations using current interest rates at which similar borrowings could be obtained on the transaction date.

  

17. Segment Reporting

      We invest in seniors housing and health care real estate. We evaluate our business and make resource allocations on our four operating segments: triple-net, seniors housing operating, outpatient medical and life science.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we changed the names of our seniors housing triple-net segment to triple-net and our medical facilities segment to outpatient medical.

     Our triple-net properties include long-term/post-acute care facilities, hospitals, assisted living facilities, independent living/continuing care retirement communities, care homes (United Kingdom), independent support living facilities (Canada), care homes with nursing (United Kingdom) and combinations thereof. Under the triple-net segment, we invest in seniors housing and health care real estate through acquisition and financing of primarily single tenant properties. Properties acquired are primarily leased under triple-net leases and we are not involved in the management of the property. Our seniors housing operating properties include the seniors housing communities referenced above that are owned and/or operated through RIDEA structures (see Notes 3 and 18).

     Our outpatient medical properties include medical office buildings and life science buildings which are aggregated into our outpatient medical reportable segment. Our medical office buildings are typically leased to multiple tenants and generally require a certain level of property management.  During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we disposed of our life science investments.

          We evaluate performance based upon NOI by segment. We define NOI as total revenues, including tenant reimbursements, less property level operating expenses. We believe NOI provides investors relevant and useful information because it measures the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our properties.    

     Non-segment revenue consists mainly of interest income on non-real estate investments and other income. Non-segment assets consist of corporate assets including cash, deferred loan expenses and corporate offices and equipment among others. Non-property specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual segments in determining NOI.

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014). The results of operations for all acquisitions described in Note 3 are included in our consolidated results of operations from the acquisition dates and

are components of the appropriate segments.  There are no intersegment sales or transfers.

     Summary information for the reportable segments is as follows for the periods presented (in thousands):

     We elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with our first taxable year.  To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, at least 90% of taxable income (excluding 100% of net capital gains) must be distributed to stockholders. REITs that do not distribute a certain amount of current year taxable income in the current year are also subject to a 4% federal excise tax. The main differences between undistributed net income for federal income tax purposes and financial statement purposes are the recognition of straight-line rent for reporting purposes, basis differences in acquisitions, recording of impairments, differing useful lives and depreciation and amortization methods for real property and the provision for loan losses for reporting purposes versus bad debt expense for tax purposes.

 

Under the provisions of the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (“RIDEA”), for taxable years beginning after July 30, 2008, a REIT may lease “qualified health care properties” on an arm’s-length basis to a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) if the property is operated on behalf of such TRS by a person who qualifies as an “eligible independent contractor.” Generally, the rent received from the TRS will meet the related party rent exception and will be treated as “rents from real property.”  A “qualified health care property” includes real property and any personal property that is, or is necessary or incidental to the use of, a hospital, nursing facility, assisted living facility, congregate care facility, qualified continuing care facility, or other licensed facility which extends medical or nursing or ancillary services to patients. We have entered into various joint ventures that were structured under RIDEA. Resident level rents and related operating expenses for these facilities are reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and are subject to federal and state income taxes as the operations of such facilities are included in TRS entities. Certain net operating loss carryforwards could be utilized to offset taxable income in future years. 

     Income tax expense reflected in the financial statements primarily represents U.S. federal and state and local income taxes as well as non-U.S. income based or withholding taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside the U.S.  In 2014, we established certain wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries in Luxembourg and Jersey and transferred interests in certain foreign investments into this holding company structure.  The structure includes a property holding company that is tax resident in the United Kingdom.  No material adverse current tax consequences in Luxembourg, Jersey or the United Kingdom resulted from the creation of this holding company structure and all of the subsidiary entities in the structure are treated as disregarded entities of the company for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  The company reflects current and deferred tax liabilities for any such withholding taxes incurred as a result of this holding company structure in its consolidated financial statements. 

      The income tax expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is due primarily to operating income or losses at our TRS entities.  Net deferred tax liabilities with respect to our TRS entities totaled $13,516,000 and $12,451,000 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and related primarily to differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of fixed and intangible assets.

     Generally, given current statutes of limitations, we are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the year ended December 31, 2011 and subsequent years and by state taxing authorities for the year ended December 31, 2010 and subsequent years.  The company and its subsidiaries are also subject to audit by the Canada Revenue Agency and provincial authorities generally for periods subsequent to our initial investments in Canada in May 2012, by HM Revenue & Customs for periods subsequent to our initial investments in the United Kingdom in August 2012 and by Luxembourg taxing authorities generally for periods subsequent to our establishment of certain Luxembourg-based subsidiaries during 2014.

      The balance of our unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $857,000.  The unrecognized tax benefits and related penalties, as currently accrued for, have an immaterial impact on the effective tax rate to the extent that they would be recognized.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

 

     The following discussion and analysis is based primarily on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Health Care REIT, Inc. for the periods presented and should be read together with the notes thereto contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other important factors are identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, including factors identified under the headings “Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”  References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “company” refer to Health Care REIT, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless specifically noted otherwise.

Executive Summary

Company Overview

     Health Care REIT, Inc. is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that has been at the forefront of seniors housing and health care real estate since the company was founded in 1970.  We are an S&P 500 company headquartered in Toledo, Ohio. Our portfolio spans the full spectrum of seniors housing and health care real estate, including seniors housing communities, long-term/post-acute care facilities, outpatient medical buildings, and inpatient and outpatient medical centers. Our capital programs, when combined with comprehensive planning, development and property management services, make us a single-source solution for acquiring, planning, developing, managing, repositioning and monetizing real estate assets.

Business Strategy

     Our primary objectives are to protect stockholder capital and enhance stockholder value. We seek to pay consistent cash dividends to stockholders and create opportunities to increase dividend payments to stockholders as a result of annual increases in net operating income and portfolio growth. To meet these objectives, we invest across the full spectrum of seniors housing and health care real estate and diversify our investment portfolio by property type, relationship and geographic location.

     Substantially all of our revenues are derived from operating lease rentals, resident fees and services, and interest earned on outstanding loans receivable. These items represent our primary sources of liquidity to fund distributions and depend upon the continued ability of our obligors to make contractual rent and interest payments to us and the profitability of our operating properties. To the extent that our customers/partners experience operating difficulties and become unable to generate sufficient cash to make payments to us, there could be a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, we monitor our investments through a variety of methods determined by the type of property. Our proactive and comprehensive asset management process for seniors housing properties generally includes review of monthly financial statements and other operating data for each property, review of obligor/partner creditworthiness, property inspections, and review of covenant compliance relating to licensure, real estate taxes, letters of credit and other collateral. Our internal property management division actively manages and monitors the outpatient medical portfolio with a comprehensive process including tenant relations, lease expirations, the mix of health service providers, hospital/health system relationships, property performance, capital improvement needs, and market conditions among other things. In monitoring our portfolio, our personnel use a proprietary database to collect and analyze property-specific data. Additionally, we conduct extensive research to ascertain industry trends.  We evaluate the operating environment in each property’s market to determine the likely trend in operating performance of the facility.  When we identify unacceptable trends, we seek to mitigate, eliminate or transfer the risk. Through these efforts, we are generally able to intervene at an early stage to address any negative trends, and in so doing, support both the collectability of revenue and the value of our investment.

     In addition to our asset management and research efforts, we also structure our investments to help mitigate payment risk. Operating leases and loans are normally credit enhanced by guaranties and/or letters of credit. In addition, operating leases are typically structured as master leases and loans are generally cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with other real estate loans, operating leases or agreements between us and the obligor and its affiliates.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

 

     For the six months ended June 30, 2015, rental income and resident fees and services represented 42% and 56%, respectively, of total revenues.  Substantially all of our operating leases are designed with escalating rent structures. Leases with fixed annual rental escalators are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease period, subject to a collectability assessment. Rental income related to leases with contingent rental escalators is generally recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due for the period. Our yield on loans receivable depends upon a number of factors, including the stated interest rate, the average principal amount outstanding during the term of the loan and any interest rate adjustments.

     Our primary sources of cash include rent and interest receipts, resident fees and services, borrowings under our primary unsecured credit facility, public issuances of debt and equity securities, proceeds from investment dispositions and principal payments on loans receivable. Our primary uses of cash include dividend distributions, debt service payments (including principal and interest), real property investments (including acquisitions, capital expenditures, construction advances and transaction costs), loan advances, property operating expenses and general and administrative expenses.  Depending upon the availability and cost of external capital, we believe our liquidity is sufficient to fund these uses of cash.

     We also continuously evaluate opportunities to finance future investments.  New investments are generally funded from temporary borrowings under our primary unsecured credit facility, internally generated cash and the proceeds from investment dispositions. Our investments generate cash from net operating income and principal payments on loans receivable. Permanent financing for future investments, which replaces funds drawn under our primary unsecured credit facility, has historically been provided through a combination of the issuance of public debt and equity securities and the incurrence or assumption of secured debt.

     Depending upon market conditions, we believe that new investments will be available in the future with spreads over our cost of capital that will generate appropriate returns to our stockholders. It is also possible that investment dispositions may occur in the future. To the extent that investment dispositions exceed new investments, our revenues and cash flows from operations could be adversely affected. We expect to reinvest the proceeds from any investment dispositions in new investments. To the extent that new investment requirements exceed our available cash on-hand, we expect to borrow under our primary unsecured credit facility. At June 30, 2015, we had $217,942,000 of cash and cash equivalents, $72,706,000 of restricted cash and $2,088,118,000 of available borrowing capacity under our primary unsecured credit facility.

  

Capital Market Outlook

     We believe the capital markets remain supportive of our investment strategy.  In July 2014, we closed on a new primary unsecured credit facility that further enhances our access to efficient capital and financial flexibility.  For the 18 months ended June 30, 2015, we raised $5,534,814,000 in aggregate gross proceeds through the issuance of common stock and unsecured debt. The capital raised, in combination with available cash and borrowing capacity under our primary unsecured credit facility, supported pro rata gross new investments of $3,579,831,000 during 2014 and $2,856,485,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2015.  We expect attractive investment opportunities to remain available in the future as we continue to leverage the benefits of our relationship investment strategy.

  

Key Transactions in 2015

     Capital.  In February 2015, we completed the public issuance of 19,550,000 shares of common stock at a price of $75.50 per share for approximate gross proceeds of $1,476,025,000. This was the largest overnight common stock offering and the highest offering price in our history. In May 2015, we issued $750,000,000 of 4.0% senior unsecured notes due 2025, generating approximately $743,407,000 of net proceeds.  This was the largest single tranche U.S. debt offering in our history. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, we raised $128,653,000 through our dividend reinvestment program.

     Investments.  The following summarizes our acquisitions and joint venture investments completed during the six months ended June 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands):

Key Performance Indicators, Trends and Uncertainties

     We utilize several key performance indicators to evaluate the various aspects of our business. These indicators are discussed below and relate to operating performance, concentration risk and credit strength. Management uses these key performance indicators to facilitate internal and external comparisons to our historical operating results, in making operating decisions and for budget planning purposes.

     Operating Performance. We believe that net income attributable to common stockholders (“NICS”) is the most appropriate earnings measure. Other useful supplemental measures of our operating performance include funds from operations (“FFO”), net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) and same store cash NOI (“SSCNOI”); however, these supplemental measures are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Please refer to the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion and reconciliations of FFO, NOI and SSCNOI. These earnings measures and their relative per share amounts are widely used by investors and analysts in the valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies. The following table reflects the recent historical trends of our operating performance measures for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):

     Concentration Risk. We evaluate our concentration risk in terms of NOI by property mix, relationship mix and geographic mix. Concentration risk is a valuable measure in understanding what portion of our NOI could be at risk if certain sectors were to experience downturns.  Property mix measures the portion of our NOI that relates to our various property types. Relationship mix measures the portion of our NOI that relates to our top five relationships. Geographic mix measures the portion of our NOI that relates to our top five states (or international equivalents).

     Credit Strength. We measure our credit strength both in terms of leverage ratios and coverage ratios. The leverage ratios indicate how much of our balance sheet capitalization is related to long-term debt. The coverage ratios indicate our ability to service interest and fixed charges (interest, secured debt principal amortization and preferred dividends). We expect to maintain capitalization ratios and coverage ratios sufficient to maintain compliance with our debt covenants. The coverage ratios are based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) which is discussed in further detail, and reconciled to net income, below in

     We evaluate our key performance indicators in conjunction with current expectations to determine if historical trends are indicative of future results. Our expected results may not be achieved and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. Factors that may cause actual results to differ from expected results are described in more detail in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management regularly monitors economic and other factors to develop strategic and tactical plans designed to improve performance and maximize our competitive position. Our ability to achieve our financial objectives is dependent upon our ability to effectively execute these plans and to appropriately respond to emerging economic and company-specific trends. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, under the headings “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion of these risk factors.

 

Corporate Governance

     Maintaining investor confidence and trust is important in today’s business environment. Our Board of Directors and management are strongly committed to policies and procedures that reflect the highest level of ethical business practices. Our corporate governance guidelines provide the framework for our business operations and emphasize our commitment to increase stockholder value while meeting all applicable legal requirements. These guidelines meet the listing standards adopted by the New York Stock Exchange and are available on the Internet at www.hcreit.com/investor-relations/governance.  The information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our web address is included as an inactive textual reference only.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash

     Our primary sources of cash include rent and interest receipts, resident fees and services, borrowings under our primary unsecured credit facility, public issuances of debt and equity securities, proceeds from investment dispositions and principal payments on loans receivable. Our primary uses of cash include dividend distributions, debt service payments (including principal and interest), real property investments (including acquisitions, capital expenditures, construction advances and transaction costs), loan advances, property operating expenses, and general and administrative expenses. These sources and uses of cash are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and are discussed in further detail below.  The following is a summary of our sources and uses of cash flows (dollars in thousands):

     Operating Activities. The change in net cash provided from operating activities is primarily attributable to increases in NOI, which is primarily due to acquisitions.  Please see “Results of Operations” for further discussion. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, cash flow provided from operations exceeded cash distributions to stockholders. 

  

     Investing Activities.  The changes in net cash used in investing activities are primarily attributable to net changes in real property investments, real estate loans receivable and investments in unconsolidated entities, which are summarized above in “Key Transactions in 2015” and Notes 3, 6 and 7 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements.  The following is a summary of cash used in non-acquisition capital improvement activities (dollars in thousands):

    The change in new development is primarily due to the number and size of construction projects on-going during the relevant periods.  Renovations, redevelopments and other capital improvements include expenditures to maximize property value, increase net operating income, maintain a market-competitive position and/or achieve property stabilization.  Generally, these expenditures have increased as a result of acquisitions, primarily in our seniors housing operating segment.

 

      Financing Activities.  The changes in net cash provided from financing activities are primarily attributable to changes related to our long-term debt arrangements, the issuance/conversion of common and preferred stock and dividend payments. Please refer to Notes 9, 10 and 13 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

     At June 30, 2015, we had investments in unconsolidated entities with our ownership ranging from 10% to 50%. Please see Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.  We use financial derivative instruments to hedge interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate exposure. Please see Note 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for

Capital Structure

          Please refer to “Credit Strength” above for a discussion of our leverage and coverage ratio trends.  Our debt agreements contain various covenants, restrictions and events of default. Certain agreements require us to maintain certain financial ratios and minimum net worth and impose certain limits on our ability to incur indebtedness, create liens and make investments or acquisitions. As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt agreements. Please refer to the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion. None of our debt agreements contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our debt ratings. However, under our primary unsecured credit facility, the ratings on our senior unsecured notes are used to determine the fees and interest charged.  A summary of certain covenants and our results as of June 30, 2015 is as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

 

     We plan to manage the company to maintain compliance with our debt covenants and with a capital structure consistent with our current profile. Any downgrades in terms of ratings or outlook by any or all of the rating agencies could have a material adverse impact on our cost and availability of capital, which could in turn have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition.

 

     On May 1, 2015, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) an open-ended automatic or “universal” shelf registration statement covering an indeterminate amount of future offerings of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants and units and (2) a registration statement in connection with our enhanced dividend reinvestment plan under which we may issue up to 15,000,000 shares of common stock. As of July 28, 2015, 13,962,480 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under this registration statement. We have entered into separate Equity Distribution Agreements with each of UBS Securities LLC, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc. relating to the offer and sale from time to time of up to $630,015,000 aggregate amount of our common stock (“Equity Shelf Program”). As of July 28, 2015, we had $457,112,000 of remaining capacity under the Equity Shelf Program. Depending upon market conditions, we anticipate issuing securities under our registration statements to invest in additional properties and to repay borrowings under our primary unsecured credit facility.

  

Results of Operations

 

Summary

 

     Our primary sources of revenue include rent and resident fees and services. Our primary expenses include interest expense, depreciation and amortization, property operating expenses, transaction costs and general and administrative expenses. We evaluate our business and make resource allocations on our three business segments: triple-net, seniors housing operating and outpatient medical. The primary performance measures for our properties are NOI and SSCNOI, which are discussed below.  Please see Note 17 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

 

     The increase in rental income is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of new properties, the conversion of newly constructed triple-net properties from which we receive rent and the modification of our lease with Genesis Healthcare to replace the CPI-based component of an annual increaser with a fixed annual increaser effective April 1, 2014 and extend the term. Certain of our leases contain annual rental escalators that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index and/or changes in the gross operating revenues of the tenant’s properties.  These escalators are not fixed, so no straight-line rent is recorded; however, rental income is recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due for the period.  If gross operating revenues at our facilities and/or the Consumer Price Index do not increase, a portion of our revenues may not continue to increase.  Sales of real property would offset revenue increases and, to the extent that they exceed new acquisitions, could result in decreased revenues.  Our leases could renew above or below current rent rates, resulting in an increase or decrease in rental income.  For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we had no lease renewals but we had 13 leases with rental rate increasers ranging from 0.11% to 0.31% in our triple-net portfolio.

   The change in interest income is due to a higher loan volume in the current year, which includes a first mortgage loan to Genesis Healthcare to facilitate their merger with Skilled Healthcare Group.  The increase in other income year-to-date over the prior year includes the receipt of an early prepayment fee related to a real estate loan receivable.

    During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we completed three triple-net construction projects representing $72,775,000 or $298,260 per bed/unit plus expansion projects totaling $38,808,000.  The following is a summary of triple-net construction projects pending as of June 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands):

     Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 represents secured debt interest expense offset by interest allocated to discontinued operations.  The change in secured debt interest expense is due to the net effect and timing of assumptions, segment transitions, extinguishments and principal amortizations.

     In April 2011, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the real estate assets of privately-owned Genesis Healthcare Corporation. In conjunction with this transaction, we received the option to acquire an ownership interest in Genesis Healthcare.  In February 2015, Genesis Healthcare closed on a transaction to merge with Skilled Healthcare Group to become a publicly traded company which required us to record the value of the derivative asset due to the net settlement feature.  We elected to exercise our option during the three months ended March 31, 2015 which resulted in a $58,427,000 gain.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

 

     Depreciation and amortization increased primarily as a result of new property acquisitions and the conversions of newly constructed triple-net properties. To the extent that we acquire or dispose of additional properties in the future, our provision for depreciation and amortization will change accordingly. 

     Transaction costs represent costs incurred with property acquisitions including due diligence costs, fees for legal and valuation services, the termination of pre-existing relationships, lease termination expenses and other similar costs.  The increase in transaction costs over the prior year includes a charge related to the termination of pre-existing relationships, the termination of a lease obligation and overall higher transaction volume. The fluctuation in losses/gains on debt extinguishment is primarily attributable to the volume of extinguishments and the terms of the related secured debt. 

Changes in the gain on sales of properties are related to property sales which totaled 11 and five for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded an impairment of $2,200,000 related to a triple-net property and land parcel, both of which are considered held for sale.

     Fluctuations in revenues and property operating expenses are primarily a result of acquisitions and the movement of U.S. and foreign currency exchange rates. The fluctuations in depreciation and amortization are due to acquisitions and variations in amortization of short-lived intangible assets. The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the prior year are due primarily to a number of short lived intangible assets which became fully amortized. To the extent that we acquire or dispose of additional properties in the future, these amounts will change accordingly. 

 

     During the year ended June 30, 2015, we completed one seniors housing operating construction project representing $19,869,000 or $283,843 per unit.  The following is a summary of our seniors housing operating construction projects, excluding expansions, pending as of June 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands):

Interest expense represents secured debt interest expense as well as interest expense related to our $250,000,000 Canadian-denominated unsecured term credit facility and Sterling-denominated senior unsecured notes. The increase in interest expense from the prior year is attributed primarily to the £500,000,000 Sterling-denominated senior unsecured notes issued in November 2014.  Please refer to Note 10 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

     The increase in transaction costs in the current year is a result of increased acquisition and transaction volume in the current year.  The majority of our seniors housing operating properties are formed through partnership interests.  Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents our partners’ share of net income (loss) related to joint ventures. The fluctuations in income (loss) from unconsolidated entities is primarily due to depreciation and amortization of short-lived intangible assets and the timing of additional investments in unconsolidated entities.

(1) See Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

     The increase in rental income is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of new properties and the conversion of newly constructed outpatient medical properties from which we receive rent. Certain of our leases contain annual rental escalators that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index. These escalators are not fixed, so no straight-line rent is recorded; however, rental income is recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due for the period. If the Consumer Price Index does not increase, a portion of our revenues may not continue to increase. Sales of real property would offset revenue increases and, to the extent that they exceed new acquisitions, could result in decreased revenues. Our leases could renew above or below current rent rates, resulting in an increase or decrease in rental income.  For the three months ended June 30, 2015, our consolidated outpatient medical portfolio signed 88,323 square feet of new leases and 344,455 square feet of renewals.  The weighted-average term of these leases was seven years, with a rate of $27.79 per square foot and tenant improvement and lease commission costs of $17.89 per square foot. Substantially all of these leases during the referenced quarter contain an annual fixed or contingent escalation rent structure ranging from the change in CPI to 5%. 

 

    During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we completed one outpatient medical construction project representing $16,592,000 or $325 per square foot. The following is a summary of the outpatient medical construction projects, excluding expansions, pending as of June 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands):

     The increase in property operating expenses and depreciation and amortization is primarily attributable to acquisitions and construction conversions of new outpatient medical facilities for which we incur certain property operating expenses.

 

     Transaction costs represent costs incurred with property acquisitions (including due diligence costs, fees for legal and valuation services and termination of pre-existing relationships computed based on the fair value of assets acquired), lease termination fees and other similar costs. The fluctuations in transaction costs are primarily due to acquisition volumes in the relevant periods.

 

   Income from unconsolidated entities represents our share of net income or losses related to our joint venture investment with Forest City Enterprises and certain unconsolidated property investments related to our strategic joint venture with a national medical office building company.

 

   Gain on real estate dispositions is due to the disposition of our interest in the joint venture with Forest City Enterprises in the second quarter of 2015.

The change in interest expense on senior unsecured notes is due to the net effect of issuances and extinguishments, excluding our Sterling-denominated senior unsecured notes, both of which are in our seniors housing operating segment.  Please refer to Note 10 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.  We capitalize certain interest costs associated with funds used for the construction of properties owned directly by us. The amount capitalized is based upon the balances outstanding during the construction period using the rate of interest that approximates our cost of financing. Our interest expense is reduced by the amount capitalized.  Loan expense represents the amortization of deferred loan costs incurred in connection with the issuance and amendments of debt. Loan expense changes are due to amortization of charges for costs incurred in connection with senior unsecured note issuances.  The change in interest expense on the primary unsecured credit facility is due primarily to the net effect and timing of draws, paydowns and variable interest rate changes.  Please refer to Note 9 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our primary unsecured credit facility.

 

     General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 included $19,688,000 related to CEO transition costs. Excluding these costs, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 4.02% and 3.87%, respectively.  The increase in general and administrative expenses excluding the CEO transition costs is primarily related to costs associated with our initiatives to attract and retain appropriate personnel to achieve our business objectives.  The loss on extinguishment of debt is due primarily to the early extinguishment of the 2016 senior unsecured notes.  The increase in other expenses in the current year is due to costs associated with the retirement of an executive officer and the termination of our investment in a strategic medical office partnership.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

     We believe that net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, we consider FFO, NOI and EBITDA to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time as evidenced by the provision for depreciation. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. In response, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation from net income. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, means net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate and impairment of depreciable assets, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests.

     Net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) is used to evaluate the operating performance of our properties. We define NOI as total revenues, including tenant reimbursements, less property operating expenses. Property operating expenses represent costs associated with managing, maintaining and servicing tenants for our seniors housing operating and medical facility properties.  These expenses include, but are not limited to, property-related payroll and benefits, property management fees, marketing, housekeeping, food service, maintenance, utilities, property taxes and insurance.  General and administrative expenses represent costs unrelated to property operations or transaction costs.  These expenses include, but are not limited to, payroll and benefits, professional services, office expenses and depreciation of corporate fixed assets.  Same store cash NOI (“SSCNOI”) is used to evaluate the cash-based operating performance of our properties under a consistent population which eliminates changes in the composition of our portfolio.  As used herein, same store is generally defined as those revenue-generating properties in the portfolio for the reporting period subsequent to January 1, 2014.  Any properties acquired, developed, transitioned, sold or classified as held for sale during that period are excluded from the same store amounts.  We believe NOI and SSCNOI provide investors relevant and useful information because they measure the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI and SSCNOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our properties.

     EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA, along with net income and cash flow provided from operating activities, is an important supplemental measure because it provides additional information to assess and evaluate the performance of our operations. We primarily utilize EBITDA to measure our interest coverage ratio, which represents EBITDA divided by total interest, and our fixed charge coverage ratio, which represents EBITDA divided by fixed charges. Fixed charges include total interest, secured debt principal amortization and preferred dividends. 

     A covenant in our primary unsecured credit facility contains a financial ratio based on a definition of EBITDA that is specific to that agreement. Failure to satisfy these covenants could result in an event of default that could have a material adverse impact on our cost and availability of capital, which could in turn have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition. Due to the materiality of these debt agreements and the financial covenants, we have disclosed Adjusted EBITDA, which represents EBITDA as defined above and adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, provision for loan losses and gain/loss on extinguishment of debt. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our adjusted fixed charge coverage ratio, which represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by fixed charges on a trailing twelve months basis. Fixed charges include total interest (excluding capitalized interest and non-cash interest expenses), secured debt principal amortization and preferred dividends. Our covenant requires an adjusted fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.50 times.

     Other than Adjusted EBITDA, our supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to our historical operating results and in making operating decisions. Additionally, these measures are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management. Adjusted EBITDA is used solely to determine our compliance with a financial covenant in our primary unsecured credit facility and is not being presented for use by investors for any other purpose. None of our supplemental measures represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity. Finally, the supplemental measures, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts or other companies.

     Health Care Reimbursements

 

     Policy and legislative changes that increase or decrease government reimbursement impact our operators and tenants that participate in Medicare, Medicaid, or other government programs.  The reimbursement methodologies applied to health care facilities continue to evolve.  To the extent that policy or legislative changes, or new reimbursement methodologies decrease government reimbursement to our operators and tenants, our revenue and operations may be adversely affected.

 

Medicare Reimbursement and Physicians.  Historically, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) annually adjusted the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule payment rates based on an update formula that included application of the Sustainable Growth Rate (“SGR”).  On April 1, 2014, President Obama signed into law the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, which provided for a 0% update to the 2015 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule through March 31, 2015.  On November 13, 2014, CMS published the calendar year 2015 Physician Fee Schedule final rule, which, consistent with the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, called for a 0% update from January 1, 2015 through March 31, 2015 and a negative 21.2% update under the statutory SGR formula for April 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.  However, on April 16, 2015, President Obama signed and enacted into law H.R. 2, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, which, among other things:

·         Repeals the SGR.

·         Institutes a 0% update to the single conversion factor under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule from January 1 through June 30, 2015, a 0.5% update for July 2015 through the end of 2019, and a 0% update for 2020 through 2025.  For 2026 and subsequent years, the update will be either 0.75% or 0.25%, depending in which Alternate Payment Model (“APM”) the physician participates. 

·         Delays the Geographic Practice Cost Indices (“GPCI”) payment adjustment until January 1, 2018.

·         Extends the therapy cap exceptions process through December 31, 2017.

·         Imposes a market basket update of 1% for skilled nursing providers for FY 2018.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

 

Additionally, on April 6, 2015, CMS announced final 2016 payment rates for Medicare Advantage, with an expected average payment impact of 3.25%.  Changes in Medicare Advantage plan payments may indirectly affect our operators and tenants that contract with Medicare Advantage plans.

 

CMS also issued several proposed rules which, if finalized, could impact our tenants and operators. 

·         On April 15, 2015, CMS issued a proposed rule regarding fiscal year 2016 (“FY16”) Medicare payment rates for skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”).  If finalized, CMS projects that aggregate payments to SNFs will increase by $500 million, or 1.4%, from payments in fiscal year 2015. 

·         On April 30, 2015, CMS issued a proposed rule regarding FY16 Medicare payment rates for Long-Term Care Hospitals (“LTCHs”).  Under the rule, standard LTCH Prospective Payment System rates would increase 1.9%.  If finalized, CMS projects overall payments to LTCHs under the rule would decrease by 4.6%, or $250 million, due to the statutory decrease in payment rates for site neutral LTCH PPS cases. Site neutral LTCH PPS cases do not meet the clinical criteria to qualify for the higher standard LTCH PPS payment rates.

·         On July 8, 2015, CMS issued a proposed rule regarding 2016 Medicare payment rates for hospital outpatient departments (“HOPDs”) and ambulatory surgery centers (“ASCs”).  Under the rule, CMS proposes to reduce payments HOPDs by 0.1% and increase payments to ASCs by 1.1%.  The proposed rule also included updates to the “Two-Midnight” rule regarding when inpatient admissions are appropriate for payment under Medicare Part A.  If finalized, an inpatient admission lasting less than two midnights would be payable under Medicare Part A on a case-by-case basis based on the judgment of the admitting physician, supported by documentation in the medical record.

·         On July 14, 2015, CMS issued a proposal to bundle the costs for Lower Extremity Joint Replacement (“LEJR”) procedures in certain geographic areas.  The bundle would begin with the hospital admission and continue for 90 days following hospital discharge. The following services, among others, would be included:  physician services, inpatient hospital services (including readmission), LTCH, inpatient rehabilitation, SNF, and/or home health services, hospital outpatient services, outpatient therapy, clinical lab and hospice.  Hospitals subject to the bundling requirements with spending below an established target price that meet the threshold on certain quality measures could earn a reconciliation payment from Medicare.  Hospitals with spending that exceeds the target would need to pay the difference to Medicare.

·         On July 15, 2015, CMS issued a proposed rule regarding 2016 Medicare payment rates under the Physician Fee Schedule (“PFS”).  Among other proposals, CMS plans to initiate implementation of the new payment system for physicians and other practitioners, the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (“MIPS”), required by the legislation that repealed the SGR.

·         On July 16, 2015, CMS issued a proposed rule that, for the first time in nearly 25 years, would comprehensively update the SNF requirements for participation under Medicare and Medicaid.   Among other things, the proposed rule addresses requirements relating to quality of care and quality of life, facility responsibilities and staffing considerations, resident assessments, and compliance and ethics programs. CMS estimates that this rule would result in an estimated first-year cost of approximately $46,491 per facility and a subsequent-year cost of $40,685 per facility on 15,691 LTC facilities.

 

Other Health Care Initiatives

 

Recent Quality Initiatives.  Recent government proposals have resulted in an increased emphasis by the government on the quality of care provided by providers.  For example, on February 27, 2015, CMS announced the establishment of a Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network as part of its plan to shift the Medicare program, and the healthcare system at large, toward paying providers based on quality, rather than the quantity of care they provide to patients.  Through the Learning and Action Network, CMS will work with private payers, employers, consumers, providers, states and state Medicaid programs, and other partners to expand alternative payment models into their programs.  To the extent this and similar measures impose additional obligations on our operators or tenants, or decrease the reimbursements that they receive, our revenues and operations may be indirectly adversely affected.

 

The Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) Recommendations Addressing SNF Billing.  In the OIG’s March 2015 Compendium of Priority Recommendations, a report that highlights the OIG’s previous recommendations for which corrective action has not been completed, the OIG cited its prior November 2012 report addressing questionable billing practices by SNFs.  The OIG recommended, among other things, changing the current method for determining how much therapy is needed to ensure appropriate payments, monitoring compliance with new therapy assessments, and improving accuracy of data submitted by SNFs.  Similarly, in June 2015, the OIG issued a report analyzing CMS’ assessments related to changes in the amount of therapy that a beneficiary receives during stays.  The OIG concluded that CMS’ new policies create challenges for oversight and that SNFs’ use of these assessments cost Medicare $143 million over 2 years. The OIG recommended, among other things, that CMS should (1) reduce the financial incentive for SNFs to use assessments differently when decreasing and increasing therapy and (2) accelerate its efforts to implement a new method for paying for therapy.  If followed, these reports and recommendations may impact our operators and tenants.

Challenges to the Health Reform Laws.  Since the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as modified by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Reform Laws”), there have been multiple attempts through legislative action and legal challenge to repeal or amend the Health Reform Laws, including the case that was recently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, King v. Burwell.   Although the Supreme Court in Burwell upheld the use of subsidies to individuals in federally-facilitated health care exchanges on June 25, 2015, which ultimately did not disrupt significantly the implementation of the Health Care Reform Laws, we cannot predict whether other current or future efforts to repeal or amend the Health Reform Laws will be successful, nor can we predict the impact that such a repeal or amendment would have on our operators or tenants and their ability to meet their obligations to us.

 

Canada

 

      Licensing and Regulation

 

Ontario

 

    Retirement homes in Ontario are regulated under the Retirement Homes Act, 2010 (the “Act”).  A license is required to operate a retirement home.  Licenses must be applied for and are non-transferable.  Applications for licenses are directed to the Registrar of the Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority (“RHRA”). 

 

     The Act requires a report to the RHRA when any person has reasonable grounds to suspect abuse of a resident by anyone, or neglect of a resident by staff.  Following a report to the RHRA, there is a mandatory inspection carried out by the RHRA, which results in a report that is posted on the RHRA’s public website. The most recent report must also be posted in the subject home, and be readily available for review if requested thereafter.  The Registrar of the RHRA can receive complaints about a retirement home contravening a provision of the Act, and if such a complaint is received, it must be reviewed promptly.  The Registrar may ask the retirement home that is the subject of the complaint to provide information relevant to the complaint, and has the power to conduct an inspection, issue a written warning or take other action as prescribed in the regulations.

 

British Columbia

 

    The Community Care and Assisted Living Act, the Residential Care Regulation, and the Community Care and Assisted Living Regulation (together, the “B.C. Act”) regulate “community care facilities” (long-term care facilities) in substantially the same manner as retirement homes are regulated under the Ontario Act. The B.C. Act defines such a facility as premises used for the purpose of supervising vulnerable persons who require three or more prescribed services (from a list that includes regular assistance with activities of daily living; distribution of medication; management of cash resources; monitoring of food intake; structured behavior management and intervention; and psychosocial or physical rehabilitative therapy).

 

United Kingdom

 

Registration

 

In England, care home services are principally regulated by the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (the “Act”) and associated Regulations. The Act requires all persons carrying out “Regulated Activities” in England, and the managers of such persons, to be registered. Regulated Activities are defined in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, as amended (the “2014 Regulations”), and include (among other activities):

·         The provision of personal care for persons who, by reason of old age, illness or disability are unable to provide it for themselves, and which is provided in a place where those persons are living at the time the care is provided; and

·         The provision of residential accommodation, together with nursing or personal care. 

 

     From April 1, 2015, the 2014 Regulations fully revoked the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010 (the “2010 Regulations”) and while the 2014 Regulations introduce certain modifications with regard to service standards, the registration obligations under the Act remain.

 

Service Standards and Notification Obligations

 

54


Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

 

The 2014 Regulations aim to streamline the legal obligations in the 2010 Regulations, and replace them with a set of more broadly-phrased, legally binding “Fundamental Standards”. The 2014 Regulations list the standards that must be met when providing care services. The service providers’ legal obligations include:

·         Care and treatment must be appropriate and reflect service user needs and preferences;

·         Service users must be treated with dignity and respect;

·         Care and treatment must only be provided with consent;

·         Care and treatment must be provided in a safe way for service users;

·         Service users must be protected from abuse and improper treatment;

·         Service users nutritional and hydration needs must be met;

·         All premises and equipment must be clean, secure, suitable and used properly;

·         Complaints must be investigated and appropriate action taken;

·         Systems and processes must be established to ensure compliance with fundamental standards;

·         Sufficient numbers of suitably qualified, competent, skilled and experienced staff must be deployed;

·         Persons employed must be of good character, having the necessary qualifications, skills and experience, and be able to perform the work for which they are employed; and

·         Health service bodies must be open and transparent with service users about their care and treatment. 

 

Failure to comply with certain provisions of the above Regulations is an offense, with a person guilty of the offense liable on summary conviction to a fine.  Monetary penalty notices may also be issued.

 

The Regulations also include:

·         Requirements around fit and proper persons being employed for the purposes of carrying of a regulated activity. Such persons must be of good character, have the qualifications, competence, skills and experience necessary and be able by reason of their health to perform their tasks. Recruitment procedures must also be established and effectively operated with certain specified information being available in relation to each person employed and registered where required; 

·         A new “duty of candour” to notify and apologize to affected persons, in the event of certain incidents having actually or potentially led to the death of the service user, where the death relates directly to the incident rather than to the natural course of the service user's illness or underlying condition, or severe harm, moderate harm or prolonged psychological harm to the service user;

·         A requirement for a service provider to display a performance assessment received as a rating of its performance by the Care Quality Commission (the “CQC”); and

·         A requirement that registered persons have regard to guidance issued by the CQC and any code of practice from the Secretary of State in relation to prevention or control of health care associated infections.

 

Under the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009 certain matters must be notified to the CQC, the government regulatory body overseeing the provision of nursing and other care services in England.  Failure to comply with notification obligations is an offense and a person guilty of an offense is liable on summary conviction to a fine of up to £2,500. 

   

Regulatory Oversight and Inspections

 

The Act also sets out the powers and responsibilities of the CQC. Among other powers, the CQC administers the compulsory registration system and issues guidance to care service providers on how to comply with applicable standards set out in legislation. 

 

The Care Act 2014 sets out certain provisions concerning (among others):

·         The duty of a local authority to meet the needs of an adult for care and support and a carer’s needs where the registered care provider is unable to carry on a regulated activity because of business failure;

·         The duty of the CQC to assess the financial sustainability of providers subject to its regulatory regime with a view to identifying any threats that such providers may face to their financial sustainability. Where the CQC identifies a significant risk to financial sustainability it can require the provider to develop a sustainability plan setting out the provider’s plan to mitigate or eliminate risk or require the provider to organize an independent review of the business with the costs being recovered from the provider;

·         The CQC informing local authorities where a registered care provider is likely to become unable to carry on a regulated activity; and

·         A new offense where certain registered care providers supply, publish or make available information that is false or misleading in a material respect which can also apply to a director, manager or person purporting to act as such of a company.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions.  Management considers an accounting estimate or assumption critical if:

·         the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and

·         the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance is material.

Management has discussed the development and selection of its critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.  Management believes the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in our unaudited consolidated financial statements are appropriate and are not reasonably likely to change in the future.  However, since these estimates require assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, they bear the risk of change.  If actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating amounts reflected in our unaudited consolidated financial statements, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition.  Please refer to Note 2 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for further information regarding significant accounting policies that impact us.  There have been no material changes to these policies in 2015.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

    This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking” statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When the company uses words such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate” or similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters, it is making forward-looking statements. In particular, these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to the company’s opportunities to acquire, develop or sell properties; the company’s ability to close its anticipated acquisitions, investments or dispositions on currently anticipated terms, or within currently anticipated timeframes; the expected performance of the company’s operators/tenants and properties; the company’s expected occupancy rates; the company’s ability to declare and to make distributions to shareholders; the company’s investment and financing opportunities and plans; the company’s continued qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”); the company’s ability to access capital markets or other sources of funds; and the company’s ability to meet its earnings guidance. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from the company’s expectations discussed in the forward-looking statements. This may be a result of various factors, including, but not limited to: the status of the economy; the status of capital markets, including availability and cost of capital; issues facing the health care industry, including compliance with, and changes to, regulations and payment policies, responding to government investigations and punitive settlements and operators’/tenants’ difficulty in cost-effectively obtaining and maintaining adequate liability and other insurance; changes in financing terms; competition within the health care and seniors housing industries; negative developments in the operating results or financial condition of operators/tenants, including, but not limited to, their ability to pay rent and repay loans; the company’s ability to transition or sell properties with profitable results; the failure to make new investments or acquisitions as and when anticipated; natural disasters and other acts of God affecting the company’s properties; the company’s ability to re-lease space at similar rates as vacancies occur; the company’s ability to timely reinvest sale proceeds at similar rates to assets sold; operator/tenant or joint venture partner bankruptcies or insolvencies; the cooperation of joint venture partners; government regulations affecting Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates and operational requirements; liability or contract claims by or against operators/tenants; unanticipated difficulties and/or expenditures relating to future investments or acquisitions; environmental laws affecting the company’s properties; changes in rules or practices governing the company’s financial reporting; the movement of U.S. and foreign currency exchange rates; the company’s ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT; and key management personnel recruitment and retention.  Other important factors are identified in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, including factors identified under the headings “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Finally, the company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements.

  

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We seek to mitigate the underlying foreign currency exposures with gains and losses on derivative contracts hedging these exposures.  We seek to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the terms of new investments

56


  

 

with new long-term fixed rate borrowings to the extent possible. We may or may not elect to use financial derivative instruments to hedge interest rate exposure. These decisions are principally based on our policy to match our variable rate investments with comparable borrowings, but are also based on the general trend in interest rates at the applicable dates and our perception of the future volatility of interest rates. This section is presented to provide a discussion of the risks associated with potential fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

      We historically borrow on our primary unsecured credit facility to acquire, construct or make loans relating to health care and seniors housing properties. Then, as market conditions dictate, we will issue equity or long-term fixed rate debt to repay the borrowings under our primary unsecured credit facility.  We are subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of current indebtedness. The majority of our borrowings were completed under indentures or contractual agreements that limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, in the event that we are unable to raise additional equity or borrow money because of these limitations, our ability to acquire additional properties may be limited.

      A change in interest rates will not affect the interest expense associated with our fixed rate debt. Interest rate changes, however, will affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Changes in the interest rate environment upon maturity of this fixed rate debt could have an effect on our future cash flows and earnings, depending on whether the debt is replaced with other fixed rate debt, variable rate debt or equity or repaid by the sale of assets. To illustrate the impact of changes in the interest rate markets, we performed a sensitivity analysis on our fixed rate debt instruments whereby we modeled the change in net present values arising from a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates to determine the instruments’ change in fair value. The following table summarizes the analysis performed as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

     Our variable rate debt, including our primary unsecured credit facility, is reflected at fair value. At June 30, 2015, we had $1,452,636,000 outstanding under our variable rate debt. Assuming no changes in outstanding balances, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in increased annual interest expense of $14,526,000.  At December 31, 2014, we had $983,783,000 outstanding under our variable rate debt.  Assuming no changes in outstanding balances, a 1% increase in interest rates would have resulted in increased annual interest expense of $9,838,000.

     We are subject to currency fluctuations that may, from time to time, affect our financial condition and results of operations. Increases or decreases in the value of the Canadian Dollar or Pounds Sterling relative to the U.S. Dollar impact the amount of net income we earn from our investments in Canada and the United Kingdom. Based solely on our results for the three months ended June 30, 2015, if these exchange rates were to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, our net income from these investments would decrease or increase, as applicable, by less than $1,000,000 annualized.  We seek to mitigate these underlying foreign currency exposures with non-U.S. denominated borrowings and gains and losses on derivative contracts hedging these exposures.  If we increase our international presence through investments in, or acquisitions or development of, seniors housing and health care properties outside the U.S., we may also decide to transact additional business or borrow funds in currencies other than U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars or Pounds Sterling. To illustrate the impact of changes in foreign currency markets, we performed a sensitivity analysis on our derivative portfolio whereby we modeled the change in net present values arising from a hypothetical 1% increase in foreign currency exchange rates to determine the instruments’ change in fair value.  The following table summarizes the results of the analysis performed (dollars in thousands):

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

     Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file with or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

  

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     From time to time, there are various legal proceedings pending to which we are a party or to which some of our properties are subject arising in the normal course of business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

     There have been no material changes from the risk factors identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

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

     On June 3, 2015, we issued 17,241 shares of our common stock to a national medical office partner pursuant to the terms of our strategic partnership.  The shares were issued without registration in reliance upon the federal statutory exemption of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, upon such partnership earning acquisition fees in connection with the acquisition of medical office buildings and completion and success fees in connection with the development of new projects.
