Note 1 – Organization

Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation engaged primarily in the acquisition of purpose-built healthcare facilities and the leasing of those facilities to strong healthcare systems and physician groups with leading market share. The Company is externally managed and advised by Inter-American Management LLC (the “Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of the Company.

The Company holds its facilities and conducts its operations through a Delaware limited partnership subsidiary named Global Medical REIT L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company serves as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company named Global Medical REIT GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was the 92.15% limited partner of the Operating Partnership, with an aggregate of 7.85% of the Operating Partnership owned by holders of long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”) and third-party limited partners who contributed properties or services to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common limited partnership units (“OP Units”).

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of the Company, including the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made.

Principles of Consolidation

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

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

Use of Estimates

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

Investment in Real Estate

The Company determines when an acquisition meets the definition of a business or alternatively should be accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC Topic 805”), which requires that, when substantially all of the fair value of an acquisition is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the asset or group of similar identifiable assets does not meet the definition of a business and therefore is required to be accounted for as an asset acquisition. Transaction costs continue to be capitalized for asset acquisitions and expensed as incurred for business combinations. ASC Topic 805 resulted in all of our post-January 1, 2018 acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets the Company acquires are concentrated in a single asset or group of similar identifiable assets.

For asset acquisitions that are “owner occupied” (meaning that the seller either is the tenant or controls the tenant), the purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, will be allocated to land and building based on their relative fair values with no value allocated to intangible assets or liabilities. For asset acquisitions where there is a lease in place but not “owner occupied,” the Company will allocate the purchase price to tangible assets and any intangible assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. Fair value is determined based upon the guidance of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” and generally are determined using Level 2 inputs, such as rent comparables, sales comparables, and broker indications. Although Level 3 Inputs are utilized, they are minor in comparison to the Level 2 data used for the primary assumptions. The determination of fair value involves the use of significant judgment and estimates. We make estimates to determine the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed using information obtained from multiple sources, including preacquisition due diligence, and we routinely utilize the assistance of a third-party appraiser.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s operations primarily consist of rental revenue earned from tenants under leasing arrangements which provide for minimum rent and escalations. The leases have been accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases with contingent rental escalators, revenue is recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due during the period. Revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalators are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term, subject to a collectability assessment, with the difference between the contractual rental receipts and the straight-line amounts recorded as a “deferred rent receivable.” Additionally, the Company recognizes “expense recoveries” revenue, which represents revenue recognized related to tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and certain other operating expenses. The Company recognizes these reimbursements and related expenses on a gross basis in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, i.e., the Company recognizes an equivalent increase in revenue (“expense recoveries”) and expense (“operating expenses”).

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all demand deposits, cashier’s checks, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Amounts included in restricted cash represent (1) certain security deposits received from tenants at the inception of their leases; (2) cash required to be held by a third-party lender as a reserve for debt service; and (3) funds held by the Company that were received from certain tenants that the Company collected to pay specific tenant expenses, such as real estate taxes and insurance, on the tenant’s behalf (“tenant reimbursements”). The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash that sums to the total of those amounts at the end of the periods presented on the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Tenant Receivables

The tenant receivable balance as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $5,708 and $4,957, respectively. The balance as of March 31, 2020 consisted of $1,375 in funds owed from the Company’s tenants for rent that the Company had earned but had not yet received, $1,231 of loans that were made to two of the Company’s tenants, $2,423 of tenant reimbursements, as well as $679 in miscellaneous receivables. The balance as of December 31, 2019 consisted of $1,428 in funds owed from the Company’s tenants for rent that the Company had earned but had not yet received, $1,062 of loans that were made to two of the Company’s tenants, $2,342 of tenant reimbursements, as well as $125 in miscellaneous receivables.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASU 2016-03”) effective January 1, 2020. Receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of these receivables should be accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842 “Leases” (“ASC Topic 842”). The adoption of ASU 2016-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

The Company assesses the likelihood of losses resulting from tenant defaults, or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments at each reporting date. The Company also monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on a continuous basis. Based on its consideration of these factors, the Company concluded that collection of its receivables was probable as of March 31, 2020. If the likelihood of a tenant paying its lease payments is determined to no longer be probable all tenant receivables including deferred rent would need to be written off against revenue and any future revenue for that tenant would be recognized only upon receipt of cash. In addition, a portfolio level reserve may need to be established in the future on those leases that are probable of collection to ensure that the tenant lease receivables are not overstated.

Escrow Deposits

The escrow balance as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $3,589 and $3,417, respectively. Escrow deposits include funds held in escrow to be used for the acquisition of properties in the future and for the payment of taxes, insurance, and other amounts as stipulated by the Company’s Cantor Loan, as hereinafter defined.

Deferred Assets

The deferred assets balance as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $16,141 and $14,512, respectively. The balance as of March 31, 2020 consisted of $16,069 in deferred rent receivables resulting from the recognition of revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalations on a straight-line basis and $72 of other deferred costs. The balance as of December 31, 2019 consisted of $14,204 in deferred rent receivables resulting from the recognition of revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalations on a straight-line basis and $308 of other deferred costs.

Other Assets

The other assets balance as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $3,731 and $3,593, respectively. The balance as of March 31, 2020 consisted of $3,060 for a right of use asset (refer to Note 8 – “Leases” for additional details), $404 in capitalized preacquisition costs, and $267 in a prepaid asset. The balance as of December 31, 2019 consisted of $3,077 for a right of use asset, $223 in capitalized preacquisition costs, and $293 in a prepaid asset.

Security Deposits and Other

The security deposits and other liability balance as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $6,546 and $6,351, respectively. The balance as of March 31, 2020 consisted of security deposits of $5,011 and a tenant impound liability of $1,535 related to amounts owed for specific tenant expenses, such as real estate taxes and insurance. The balance as of December 31, 2019 consisted of security deposits of $4,968 and a tenant impound liability of $1,383 related to amounts owed for specific tenant expenses, such as real estate taxes and insurance.

Derivative Instruments - Interest Rate Swaps

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s net liability balance related to interest rate swap derivative instruments that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk was $20,461 and $6,491, respectively. In accordance with the Company’s risk management strategy, the purpose of the interest rate swaps is to manage interest rate risk for certain of the Company’s variable-rate debt. The interest rate swaps involve the Company’s receipt of variable-rate amounts from three counterparties in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement. The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Refer to Note 4 – “Credit Facility, Notes Payable and Derivative Instruments” for additional details.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Lease Modifications

Due to the business disruptions and challenges severely affecting the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many lessors may be required to provide rent deferrals and other lease concessions to lessees. While the lease modification guidance in ASC Topic 842 (“ASC Topic 842”) addresses routine changes to lease terms resulting from negotiations between the lessee and the lessor, this guidance did not contemplate concessions being so rapidly executed to address the sudden liquidity constraints of some lessees arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease-by-lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease-by-lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. The Company has elected to apply such relief and will avail itself of the election to avoid performing a lease-by-lease analysis for the lease concessions that were (1) granted as relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) result in the cash flows remaining substantially the same or less. The Lease Modification Q&A has no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020. However, its future impact on the Company is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering such concessions.

Reference Rate Reform

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate-reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Note 3 – Property Portfolio

Summary of Properties Acquired During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company completed four acquisitions. For each acquisition, substantially all of the fair value was concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets and, therefore, each acquisition represents an asset acquisition. Accordingly, transaction costs for these acquisitions were capitalized.

A rollforward of the gross investment in land, building, improvements, and acquired lease intangible assets as of March 31, 2020 resulting from these acquisitions is as follows:

Depreciation expense was $5,836 and $3,867 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had aggregate capital improvement commitments and obligations to improve, expand, and maintain the Company’s existing facilities of approximately $18 million. Many of these amounts are subject to contingencies that make it difficult to predict when they will be utilized, if at all. In accordance with the terms of the Company’s leases, capital improvement obligations in the next twelve months could total up to approximately $11 million.

The following is a summary of the acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The Operating Partnership is subject to a number of financial covenants under its Credit Facility, including, among other things, (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter of less than 0.60:1.00, (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00, (iii) a minimum net worth of $203.8 million plus 75% of all net proceeds raised through equity offerings subsequent to March 31, 2018 (which, as of March 31, 2020, equaled $247.6 million) and (iv) a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not greater than 0.10:1.00. Additionally, beginning at the end of fourth quarter of 2020, the Company’s distributions to common stockholders will be limited to an amount equal to 95% of its AFFO. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial and non-financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility.

The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge its interest rate risk on the Term Loan. For additional information related to the interest rate swaps, see the “Derivative Instruments - Interest Rate Swaps” section herein.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company borrowed $81,700 under the Credit Facility and repaid $3,600, for a net amount borrowed of $78,100. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company borrowed $6,200 under the Credit Facility and repaid $62,800 for a net amount repaid of $56,600. Interest expense incurred on the Credit Facility was $3,585 and $3,238, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had the following outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility:

Costs incurred related to the Credit Facility, net of accumulated amortization, are netted against the Company’s “Credit Facility, net of unamortized debt issuance costs” balance in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company paid $44 and $29 related to modifications to the Credit Facility as well as fees related to adding properties to the borrowing base during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Amortization expense incurred was $269 for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is included in the “Interest Expense” line item in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced its intention to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the “ARRC”), which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (the “SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. The Credit Facility provides that, on or about the LIBOR cessation date (subject to an early opt-in election), LIBOR shall be replaced as a benchmark rate in the Credit Facility with a new benchmark rate to be agreed upon by the Company and BMO, with such adjustments to cause the new benchmark rate to be economically equivalent to LIBOR. The Company is not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets.

The Company has interest rate swap agreements that are indexed to LIBOR and is monitoring and evaluating the related risks. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require negotiation with the respective counterparty.

If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact on our interest rate swap agreements is likely to vary by agreement. If LIBOR is discontinued or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, interest rates on our current or future indebtedness may be adversely affected.

While the Company expects LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and potentially magnified.

Notes Payable, Net of Debt Issuance Costs

The Company’s notes payable, net, includes two loans: (1) the Cantor Loan and (2) the West Mifflin Note, described in detail below. The following table sets forth the aggregate balances of these loans as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Amortization expense incurred related to the debt issuance costs was $33 for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is included in the “Interest Expense” line item in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cantor Loan

On March 31, 2016, through certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company entered into a $32,097 portfolio commercial mortgage-backed securities loan (the “Cantor Loan”) with Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, LP (“CCRE”). The subsidiaries are GMR Melbourne, LLC, GMR Westland, LLC, GMR Memphis, LLC, and GMR Plano, LLC (the “GMR Loan Subsidiaries”). The Cantor Loan has cross-default and cross-collateral terms. The Cantor Loan has a maturity date of April 6, 2026 and accrues annual interest at 5.22%. The first five years of the term require interest-only payments and thereafter payments will include interest and principal, amortized over a 30-year schedule. Prepayment can only occur within four months prior to the maturity date, except that the Cantor Loan can be fully and partially defeased upon payment of amounts due under the Cantor Loan and payment of a defeasance amount.

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

The note balance as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $32,097. Interest expense incurred on this note was $423 and $419 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of March 31, 2020, scheduled principal payments due for each fiscal year ended December 31 are as follows:

West Mifflin Note

On September 25, 2015, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary GMR Pittsburgh LLC, as borrower, entered into a Term Loan and Security Agreement with Capital One to borrow $7,378. The note bears interest at 3.72% per annum and all unpaid interest and principal is due on September 25, 2020. Interest and principal are paid on the first day of each calendar month thereafter based on an amortization schedule that began on November 1, 2018 and extends through the maturity date. The Company, at its option, may prepay the note at any time in whole (but not in part) with advanced written notice. The West Mifflin facility serves as collateral for the note. The note requires a quarterly fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1:1, a quarterly minimum debt yield of 0.09:1.00, and annualized Operator EBITDAR (as defined in the note) measured on a quarterly basis of not less than $6,000. The Operator is Associates in Ophthalmology, Ltd. and Associates Surgery Centers, LLC. The Company made principal payments of $35 during both of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The note balance as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $7,185 and $7,220, respectively. Interest expense incurred on this note was $68 and $66 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Derivative Instruments - Interest Rate Swaps

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had the following five interest rate swaps that are used to manage the interest rate risk and fix the LIBOR component of certain of its floating rate debt as follows:

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815, the Company records the swaps either as an asset or a liability measured at its fair value at each reporting period. When hedge accounting is applied, the change in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is (i) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the equity section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and (ii) subsequently reclassified into earnings as interest expense for the period that the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings. If specific hedge accounting criteria are not met, changes in the Company’s derivative instruments’ fair value are recognized currently as an adjustment to net income.

The Company’s interest rate swaps are not traded on an exchange. The Company’s interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value based on a variety of observable inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis based on the expected size of future cash flows on a discounted basis and incorporating a measure of non-performance risk. The fair values are based on Level 2 inputs within the framework of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” The Company considers its own credit risk, as well as the credit risk of its counterparty, when evaluating the fair value of its derivative instruments.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was a net liability of $20,461 and $6,491 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The gross balances are included in the “Derivative Asset’ and “Derivative Liability” line items on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The table below details the components of the loss presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income recognized on the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $5,568 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded total interest expense in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of $4,378.

Weighted-Average Interest Rate and Term

The weighted average interest rate and term of the Company’s debt was 3.63% and 3.49 years at March 31, 2020, compared to 3.90% and 3.76 years as of December 31, 2019.

Note 5 – Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company’s charter authorizes the issuance of 10,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 3,105 shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), issued and outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $25 per share.

Preferred stock dividend activity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is summarized in the following table:

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividend payments only when, as and if declared by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) (or a duly authorized committee of the Board). Dividends will accrue or be payable in cash from the original issue date, on a cumulative basis, quarterly in arrears on each dividend payment date at a fixed rate per annum equal to 7.50% of the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (equivalent to $1.875 per share on an annual basis). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be cumulative and will accrue whether or not (i) funds are legally available for the payment of those dividends, (ii) the Company has earnings or (iii) those dividends are declared by the Board. The quarterly dividend payment dates on the Series A Preferred Stock are January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year. During each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid preferred dividends of $1,455.

Common Stock

The Company has 500,000 authorized shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 44,278 and 43,806 outstanding shares of common stock, respectively.

Common stock dividend activity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is summarized in the following table:

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid total dividends on its common stock, LTIP Units and OP Units in the aggregate amount of $10,031 and $5,781, respectively.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had an accrued dividend balance of $369 and $580 for dividends payable on the aggregate annual and long-term LTIP Units that are subject to retroactive receipt of dividends on the amount of LTIP Units ultimately earned. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, $279 of dividends were accrued and $490 of dividends were paid related to these units. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, $97 of dividends were accrued and $86 of dividends were paid related to these units.

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

OP Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, three OP Unit holders redeemed an aggregate of 450 OP Units for shares of the Company’s common stock with an aggregate redemption value of $6,660. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 49 OP Units with a value of $506 in connection with a facility acquisition. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2019, two OP Unit holders redeemed an aggregate of 51 OP Units for shares of the Company’s common stock with an aggregate redemption value of $519. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 2,693 and 3,143 OP Units issued and outstanding, respectively, with an aggregate value of $21,221 and $27,881, respectively. The OP Unit value at issuance and redemption is based on the Company’s closing share price on the date of the respective transaction and is included as a component of noncontrolling interest equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company has sufficient shares of common stock authorized pursuant to its charter to cover the redemption of outstanding OP Units.

Note 6 – Related Party Transactions

Management Agreement

Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering on July 1, 2016, the Company and the Advisor entered into an amended and restated management agreement (the “Management Agreement”). Certain material terms of the Management Agreement are summarized in the section titled “Business — Our Advisor and our Management Agreement,” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 9, 2020.

Management Fees and Accrued Management Fees

The Company’s management fee to the Advisor is calculated in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement which requires an annual base management fee equal to 1.5% of our stockholders’ equity (as defined in the Management Agreement). For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, management fees of $2,002 and $1,334, respectively, were incurred and expensed by the Company. Accrued management fees due to the Advisor were $2,002 and $1,727 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. No incentive management fee was incurred by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.

Allocated General and Administrative Expenses

In the future, the Company may receive allocations of general and administrative expenses from the Advisor that are either clearly applicable to or were reasonably allocated to the operations of the Company.

Related Party Balances

A rollforward of the due from related parties and due to related party balance, net, as of March 31, 2020 is as follows:

Note 7 – Stock-Based Compensation

2016 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), is intended to assist the Company and its affiliates in recruiting and retaining employees of the Advisor, members of the Board, executive officers of the Company, and individuals who provide services to those entities or affiliates of those entities.

The Plan is intended to permit the grant of both qualifying and non-qualified options and the grant of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, awards of restricted stock units, performance awards and other equity-based awards (including LTIP Units) for up to an aggregate of 1,763 shares of common stock, subject to increase under certain provisions of the Plan. Based on the grants outstanding as of March 31, 2020, there are 1,084 shares of common stock that remain available to be granted under the Plan. Units subject to awards under the Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, lapsed, settled in cash or otherwise expired (excluding shares withheld to satisfy exercise prices or tax withholding obligations) are available for grant.

Time-Based Grants

On March 3, 3020, pursuant to the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), the Board approved the following LTIP Unit grants:

A detail of the Company’s outstanding time based LTIP Units as of March 31, 2020 is as follows:

Performance Based Awards

For each of the previous four years the Board has approved annual performance-based LTIP awards (“Annual Awards”) and long-term performance-based LTIP awards (“Long-Term Awards”) to the executive officers of the Company and other employees of the Advisor who perform services for the Company. As described below, the Annual Awards have one-year performance periods and the Long-Term Awards have three-year performance periods. In addition to meeting specified performance metrics, vesting in both the Annual Awards and the Long-Term Awards is subject to service requirements.

A detail of the Company’s Annual Awards and Long-Term Awards under the 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 programs as of March 31, 2020 is as follows:

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

The Compensation Committee and Board established performance goals for fiscal year 2020, as set forth in Exhibit A to the 2020 LTIP Annual Award Agreements (the “Performance Goals”) that will be used to determine the number of LTIP Units earned by each grantee. As of March 31, 2020, management estimated that the Performance Goals would be met at a 100% level, and accordingly, applied 100% to the net target 2020 program Annual Awards to estimate the 2020 program Annual Awards expected to be earned at the end of the performance period. Cumulative stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020 reflects management’s estimate that 100% of these awards will be earned. As soon as reasonably practicable following the first anniversary of the Annual Awards grant date, the Compensation Committee and Board will determine the extent to which the Company has achieved each of the Performance Goals (expressed as a percentage) and, based on such determination, will calculate the number of LTIP Units that each grantee is entitled to receive. Each grantee may earn up to 150% of the number of his/her target LTIP Units. Any 2020 Annual Award LTIP Units that are not earned will be forfeited and cancelled.

Vesting. LTIP Units that are earned as of the end of the applicable performance period will be subject to vesting, subject to continued employment through each vesting date, in two installments as follows: 50% of the earned LTIP Units will become vested on the date in 2021 that the Board approves the number of LTIP Units to be awarded pursuant to the performance components set forth in the 2020 LTIP Annual Award Agreements and 50% of the earned LTIP Units become vested on the one year anniversary of the initial vesting date. Vesting may be accelerated under certain circumstances such as a “change-in-control” transaction or a “qualified termination” event.

Distributions. Distributions equal to the dividends declared and paid by the Company will accrue during the applicable performance period on the maximum number of LTIP Units that the grantee could earn and will be paid with respect to all of the earned LTIP Units at the conclusion of the applicable performance period, in cash or by the issuance of additional LTIP Units at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Long-Term Awards. The Long-Term Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements (collectively the “LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements”) between the Company and each grantee. The number of LTIP Units that each grantee is entitled to earn under the LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements will be determined following the conclusion of a three-year performance period based on the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”), which is determined based on a combination of appreciation in stock price and dividends paid during the performance period. Each grantee may earn up to 200% of the number of target LTIP Units covered by the grantee’s Long-Term Award. Any target LTIP Units that are not earned will be forfeited and cancelled. The number of LTIP Units earned under the Long-Term Awards will be determined as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the applicable three-year performance period (2020, 2021, 2022, or 2023 depending on the program) based on the Company’s TSR on an absolute basis (as to 75% of the Long-Term Award) and relative to the SNL Healthcare REIT Index (as to 25% of the Long-Term Award).

Vesting. LTIP Units that are earned as of the end of the applicable three-year performance period will be subject to forfeiture restrictions that will lapse (“vesting”), subject to continued employment through each vesting date as follows; 50% of the earned LTIP Units will vest upon the third anniversary of the respective grant dates and the remaining 50% will vest on the fourth anniversary of the respective grant dates. Vesting may be accelerated under certain circumstances such as a “change-in-control” transaction or a “qualified termination” event.

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

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Under the provisions of ASU 2018-07, the Company’s prospective compensation expense for all unvested LTIP Units, Annual Awards, and Long-Term Awards is recognized using the adoption date fair value of the awards, with no remeasurement required. Compensation expense for future LTIP Unit grants, Annual Awards, and Long-Term Awards is based on the grant date fair value of the units/awards, with no subsequent remeasurement required.

As the Long-Term Awards involve market-based performance conditions, the Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation to provide a grant date fair value for expense recognition. The Monte Carlo simulation is a generally accepted statistical technique used, in this instance, to simulate a range of possible future stock prices for the Company and the members of the SNL Healthcare REIT Index (the “Index”) over the Performance Periods. The purpose of this modeling is to use a probabilistic approach for estimating the fair value of the performance share award for purposes of accounting under ASC Topic 718.

The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation include beginning average stock price, valuation date stock price, expected volatilities, correlation coefficients, risk-free rate of interest, and expected dividend yield. The beginning average stock price is the beginning average stock price for the Company and each member of the Index for the five trading days leading up to the grant date of the Long-Term Award. The valuation date stock price is the average closing stock price for the Company and each member of the Index for the 15 trading days leading up to the valuation date. The expected volatilities are modeled using the historical volatilities for the Company and the members of the Index. The correlation coefficients are calculated using the same data as the historical volatilities. The risk-free rate of interest is taken from the U.S. Treasury website and relates to the expected life of the remaining performance period on valuation or revaluation. Lastly, the dividend yield assumption is 0.0%, which is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity, which is part of the Company’s award agreement assumptions.

Below are details regarding certain of the assumptions for the Long-Term Awards using Monte Carlo simulations:

The Company incurred stock compensation expense of $922 and $771 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the grants awarded under the Plan. Compensation expense is included within “General and Administrative” expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of March 31, 2020, total unamortized compensation expense related to these awards of approximately $5.2 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.6 years.

Note 8 – Leases

The Company operates as both a lessor and a lessee. As a lessor, the Company is required under ASC Topic 842 to account for leases using an approach that is substantially similar to ASC Topic 840's guidance for operating leases and other leases such as sales-type leases and direct financing leases. In addition, ASC Topic 842 requires lessors to capitalize and amortize only incremental direct leasing costs. As a lessee, the Company is required under the new standard to apply a dual approach, classifying leases, such as ground leases, as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase. This classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. ASC Topic 842 also requires lessees to record a right of use asset and a lease liability for all leases with an initial term of greater than a year regardless of their classification. The Company has also elected the practical expedient not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of a year or less.

Information as Lessor Under ASC Topic 842

To generate positive cash flow, as a lessor, the Company leases its facilities to tenants in exchange for fixed monthly payments that cover rent, property taxes, insurance and certain cost recoveries, primarily common area maintenance (“CAM”). The Company’s leases were determined to be operating leases and have a portfolio average lease years remaining of approximately 10 years. Payments from the Company’s tenants for CAM are considered nonlease components that are separated from lease components and are generally accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition standard. However, the Company qualified for and elected the practical expedient related to combining the components because the lease component is classified as an operating lease and the timing and pattern of transfer of CAM income, which is not the predominant component, is the same as the lease component, for all asset classes. As such, consideration for CAM is accounted for as part of the overall consideration in the lease. Payments from customers for property taxes and insurance are considered non-components of the lease and therefore no consideration is allocated to them because they do not transfer a good or service to the customer. Fixed contractual payments from the Company’s leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. This means that, with respect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenue recognized for the period. Straight-line rental revenue is commenced when the tenant assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straight-line rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. Rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 included variable revenues of $1,484.

Some of the Company’s leases are subject to annual changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Although increases in CPI are not estimated as part of the Company’s measurement of straight-line rental revenue, for leases with base rent increases based on CPI, the amount of rent revenue recognized is adjusted in the period the changes in CPI are measured and effective. Additionally, some of the Company’s leases have extension options.

Initial direct costs, primarily commissions, related to the leasing of our facilities are capitalized when material as incurred. Capitalized leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful life of the respective leases. All other costs to negotiate or arrange a lease are expensed as incurred.

Lease-related receivables, which include accounts receivable and accrued straight-line rents receivable, are reduced for credit losses, if applicable. To date the Company’s receivables have not had any credit losses. Such amounts would be recognized as a reduction to rental and other revenues. The Company regularly evaluates the collectability of its lease-related receivables. The Company’s evaluation of collectability primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and considering such factors as the credit quality of our tenant, historical trends of the tenant and changes in tenant payment terms. If the Company’s assumptions regarding the collectability of lease-related receivables prove incorrect, the Company could experience credit losses in excess of what was recognized in rental and other revenues.

The Company recognized $21,533 of rental and other revenues related to operating lease payments for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The aggregate annual cash to be received by the Company on the noncancelable operating leases related to its portfolio as of March 31, 2020 is as follows for the subsequent years ended December 31:

Information as Lessee Under ASC Topic 842

The Company has six buildings located on land that is subject to operating ground leases with a weighted average remaining term of approximately 24 years. Rental payments on these leases are adjusted periodically based on either the CPI or on a pre-determined schedule. The monthly payments on a pre-determined schedule are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Changes in the CPI are not estimated as part of our measurement of straight-line rental expense. The Company used a weighted average discount rate of approximately 4.4%, which was derived, using a portfolio approach, from our assessment of the credit quality of the Company and adjusted to reflect secured borrowing, estimated yield curves and long-term spread adjustments over appropriate tenors. Some of the Company’s ground leases contain extension options and, where we determined it was reasonably certain that an extension would occur, they were included in our calculation of the right of use asset and liability. The Company recognized approximately $42 of ground lease expense, of which $16 was paid in cash, during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The following table sets forth the undiscounted cash flows of our scheduled obligations for future lease payments on operating ground leases at March 31, 2020, and a reconciliation of those cash flows to the operating lease liability at March 31, 2020:

Note 9 – Rent Concentration

The Company’s facilities with a concentration of rental revenue of 5% or greater for either period presented is as follows:

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company, which if determined unfavorably to the Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

The Company follows a policy of monitoring its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist at its properties, the Company is not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to its properties that would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Additionally, the Company is not aware of any material environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that management believes would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

Note 11 – Subsequent Events

COVID-19 Related Rent Deferrals

Since its discovery in December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus, which causes the viral disease known as COVID-19, has spread to many countries, including the U.S. The outbreak has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services has declared a public health emergency in the U.S. in response to the outbreak. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, local, state and federal agencies have instituted stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders, which resulted in closure of many businesses deemed to be non-essential, and with respect to many of the Company’s tenants, significantly reduced patient volumes.

The Company has been working with certain of its tenants that are experiencing significant disruptions in their businesses to help them navigate these uncertain times, including assisting the Company’s tenants in applying for government financial relief and, in certain limited circumstances, entering into rent deferral agreements. As of April 30, 2020, the Company estimates that $2 million of rent that ordinarily would have been collected over the months of April through July 2020 will be deferred and is now expected to be collected primarily over the period from July through December 2020. Pursuant to the Lease Modification Q&A, the Company did not analyze each lease to determine if the concession was negotiated outside of the lease agreement and elected to apply the modification guidance under ASC Topic 842. We do not expect the rent payment deferrals to have a significant impact on the Company’s rental revenue amount over time and the Company expects to collect substantially all the payments deferred.

The Company has also entered into, or expects to enter into, other agreements with certain tenants whereby the Company has either (i) agreed to short-term rent reductions in exchange for extended lease terms or (ii) agreed to apply certain deposits or committed tenant improvement funds towards rent, the net effect of which is immaterial to the Company’s financial results. 

Because the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s tenants will depend on future developments, there can be no assurance that the Company’s tenants will be able meet the requirements of these agreements, or that these tenants, or other tenants, may not seek additional relief in the future. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s income, expenses and ability to pay distributions will depend on certain developments, including the duration, spread and potential resurgences of the outbreak and its impact on the Company’s tenants, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.

OP Unit Redemptions for Shares of Common Stock

On April 9, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 735,000 shares of its common stock to two OP Unit holders in connection with their redemption of OP Units issued by the Operating Partnership in connection with their contribution of certain assets to the Operating Partnership.
