GLOBAL MEDICAL REIT INC.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts or as otherwise indicated)

Note 1 – Organization

Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation and internally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns and acquires healthcare facilities and leases those facilities to physician groups and regional and national healthcare systems. The Company holds its facilities and conducts its operations through a Delaware limited partnership subsidiary, 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, Global Medical REIT GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was the 92.44% limited partner of the Operating Partnership, with an aggregate of 7.56% 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 year ended December 31, 2023. 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 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.

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

-8-

Table of Contents

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 are capitalized for asset acquisitions and expensed as incurred for business combinations.

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 that are 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 as a component of rental revenue “expense recoveries” revenue, which represents revenue recognized related to tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and certain other operating expenses (“tenant reimbursements”). The Company recognizes these reimbursements and related expenses on a gross basis in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 certain security deposits received from tenants at the inception of their leases and funds held by the Company related to 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:


	As of March 31,
	2024		2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,333	$	4,603
Restricted cash		6,473		9,378
Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	7,806	$	13,981

Tenant Receivables, Net

The tenant receivable balance as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $7,743 and $6,762, respectively. The balance as of March 31, 2024 consisted of $3,444 in funds owed from the Company’s tenants for rent that the Company had earned but had not yet received, $3,886 of tenant reimbursements, $128 for a loan that was made to one of the Company’s tenants, and $285 of miscellaneous receivables. The balance as of December 31, 2023 consisted of $2,062 in funds owed from the Company’s tenants for rent that the Company had earned but had not yet received, $4,372 of tenant reimbursements, $131 for a loan that was made to one of the Company’s tenants, and $197 of miscellaneous receivables.

Receivables arising from operating leases are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842 “Leases” (“ASC Topic 842”). The Company assesses the likelihood of losses resulting from tenant defaults, or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant reimbursements at each reporting date. The Company also monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on a continuous basis. If the likelihood of a tenant paying its lease payments is determined to no longer be probable, all tenant receivables, including deferred rent, are written off against revenue and any future revenue for that tenant is recognized only upon receipt of cash.

Table of Contents

In addition, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a portfolio level reserve of $350 on those leases that were probable of collection to ensure that the tenant lease receivables were not overstated.

Escrow Deposits

The escrow balance as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $737 and $673, 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 and insurance.

Deferred Assets

The deferred assets balance as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $27,995 and $27,132, respectively. The balance as of March 31, 2024 consisted of $27,157 in deferred rent receivables resulting from the recognition of revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalations on a straight-line basis and $838 of other deferred costs. The balance as of December 31, 2023 consisted of $26,757 in deferred rent receivables resulting from the recognition of revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalations on a straight-line basis and $375 of other deferred costs.

Other Assets

The other assets balance as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $17,874 and $15,722, respectively. The balance as of March 31, 2024 consisted of $7,613 in right of use assets, $3,854 in capitalized construction in process costs, $2,538 in prepaid assets, $3,445 in net capitalized leasing commissions, and $424 in net capitalized software costs and miscellaneous assets. The balance as of December 31, 2023 consisted of $7,627 in right of use assets, $3,346 in capitalized construction in process costs, $1,379 in prepaid assets, $2,894 in net capitalized leasing commissions, and $476 in net capitalized software costs and miscellaneous assets. Refer to Note 8 – “Leases” for additional details on right of use assets.

Derivative Instruments - Interest Rate Swaps

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's balance related to interest rate swap derivative instruments that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk was an asset of $29,285 and $25,125, 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 the counterparties in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements. 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.

Goodwill

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s goodwill balance was $5,903. Goodwill represents the excess of consideration paid over the fair value of underlying identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill has an indefinite life and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company’s policy is to perform its annual goodwill impairment evaluation as of the first day of the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. The Company has one reporting unit.

Assets Held for Sale and Sales of Real Estate

The Company classifies a property as held for sale when the following criteria are met: (i) management, having the authority to approve action, commits to a plan to sell the property in its present condition, (ii) the sale of the property is at a price reasonable in relation to its current fair value and (iii) the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year. At that time, the Company presents the assets and obligations associated with the real estate held for sale separately in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and ceases recording depreciation and amortization expense related to that asset. Real estate held for sale is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. None of the Company’s properties were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Upon the disposition of a property, the Company recognizes a gain or loss at a point in time when the Company determines control of the underlying asset has been transferred to the buyer. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied at the

closing of the transaction. Any continuing involvement is analyzed as a separate performance obligation in the contract, and a portion of the sales price is allocated to each performance obligation. There is significant judgment applied to estimate the amount of variable consideration, if any, identified within the sales price and assess its probability of occurrence based on current market information, historical transactions, and forecasted information that is reasonably available.

For sales of real estate (or assets classified as held for sale), the Company evaluates whether the disposition is a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, and, if so, it will be classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

The Company, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) are parties to an amended and restated $900 million unsecured syndicated credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as administrative agent (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility consists of (i) $500 million of term loans, which include (a) a $350 million term loan (“Term Loan A”) and (b) a $150 million term loan (“Term Loan B,” and, together with Term Loan A, the “Term Loans”), and (ii) a $400 million revolver (the “Revolver”). The Credit Facility also includes a $500 million accordion feature. Term Loan A matures in May 2026, Term Loan B matures in February 2028, and the Revolver matures in August 2026, with two six-month extension options. Interest rates on amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility equal the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a related spread adjustment of 10 basis points and a borrowing spread based on the current pricing grid in the Credit Facility. The Company may be entitled to a temporary reduction in the interest rate of two basis points provided it meets certain to be agreed upon sustainability goals.

The Operating Partnership is subject to a number of financial covenants under the Credit Facility, including, among other things, the following as of the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a maximum consolidated unsecured leverage ratio of less than 60%, (ii) a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio of less than 30%, (iii) a maximum consolidated secured recourse leverage ratio of less than 10%, (iv) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00, (v) a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00, (vi) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of less than 60%, and (vii) a minimum net worth of $573 million plus 75% of all net proceeds raised through equity offerings subsequent to March 31, 2022.

Derivative Instruments - Interest Rate Swaps

The Company has ten interest rate swaps and three forward starting interest rate swaps that are used to manage its interest rate risk by fixing the SOFR component of the Term Loans through their maturities. A description of these swaps is below:

Term Loan A Swaps

As of March 31, 2024, six of the Company’s interest rate swaps related to Term Loan A. The combined notional value of these swaps is $350 million, with $200 million of the swaps maturing in August 2024 and the remaining $150 million maturing in April 2026. In addition, the Company has three forward starting interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $200 million, each with a maturity date of April 2026, that will become effective on the August 2024 maturity date of the existing swaps noted above. Currently, the Term Loan A swaps fix the SOFR component of Term Loan A at a rate of 1.50% through August 2024. From August 2024 to April 2026 the SOFR component of Term Loan A will be fixed at 1.36%.

Term Loan B Swaps

As of March 31, 2024, four of the Company’s interest rate swaps related to Term Loan B with a combined notional value of $150 million that fix the SOFR component of Term Loan B through January 2028 at 2.54%.

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 income 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. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all of the Company’s swaps meet the criteria for hedge accounting.

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 incorporates a measure of non-performance risk. The fair values are based on Level 2 inputs within the framework of ASC Topic 820. The Company considers its own credit risk, as well as the credit risk of its counterparties, when evaluating the fair value of its derivative instruments.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was an asset of $29,285 and $25,125 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The balances are included in the “Derivative Asset” line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The table below details the components of the amounts presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income recognized on the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Amount of (gain) loss recognized in other comprehensive income (loss)	$	(8,610)	$	4,157
Amount of gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense		4,450		3,107
Total change in accumulated other comprehensive income	$	(4,160)	$	7,264

During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $15,576 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded total interest expense in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of $6,890.

Weighted-Average Interest Rate and Term

The weighted average interest rate and term of the Company’s debt was 3.85% and 2.7 years at March 31, 2024, compared to 3.83% and 2.9 years as of December 31, 2023.

The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Board established performance goals for the year ending December 31, 2024, as set forth in the 2024 LTIP Annual Award Agreements (the “Performance Goals”) that will be used to determine the number of LTIP Units earned by each grantee. Cumulative stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflects management’s estimate of the probability of the number of these awards that will be earned. As soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the performance period, the Compensation Committee and the 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 2024 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 vest in two installments as follows: 50% of the earned LTIP Units will become vested on the valuation date of the awards (which is expected to occur in February 2025)

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 estimated 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 their related 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 earns under the LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements will be determined following the conclusion of a three-year performance period based on the Company’s (i) total stockholder return (“TSR”), which is determined based on a combination of appreciation in stock price and dividends paid during the performance period, and (ii) relative stockholder return (“RSR”), which is determined by comparing the Company’s TSR with the TSRs of the companies that comprise the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Health Care Index (the “Index”). 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 based on the Company’s TSR on an absolute basis (as to 50% of the Long-Term Award) and RSR (as to 50% of the Long-Term Award).

Vesting. LTIP Units that are earned as of the end of the applicable three-year performance period will vest in two installments as follows: 50% of the earned LTIP Units will vest upon the day prior to the third anniversary of the respective grant dates and the remaining 50% will vest 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. 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 estimated 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

Compensation expense for 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 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.

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 15 trading days leading up to the grant date of the Long-Term Award. The valuation date stock price is the closing stock price of the Company and each of the peer companies in the Index on the grant dates of the Long-Term Awards. 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.

The Company incurred stock compensation expense of $1,233 and $688 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 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, 2024, total unamortized compensation expense related to these awards of approximately $9.1 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.7 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

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.

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.

-20-

Table of Contents

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. 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 $35,069 and $36,199 of rental revenue related to operating lease payments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Of these amounts, $1,963 and $2,003 relate to variable rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The aggregate annual cash to be received by the Company on the noncancelable operating leases related to its portfolio as of March 31, 2024 is as follows for the subsequent years ended December 31:


2024 (nine months remaining)	$	85,074
2025		105,522
2026		97,031
2027		85,748
2028		75,271
Thereafter		274,599
Total	$	723,245

Information as Lessee

The Company recorded a right of use asset and liability in May 2023 on the commencement date of the lease for its corporate headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland. The Company used a discount rate of approximately 6.5% to record the right of use asset and liability, which represented its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Additionally, the Company has seven buildings located on land that is subject to operating ground leases with a weighted average remaining term of approximately 42 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 7.5% to record the right of use assets and liabilities, 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 $55 and $65 of ground lease expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, of which $22 and $42 was paid in cash.

Tenant Concentration

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s rental revenues were derived from 268 tenants leasing 185 buildings. During this period there were no tenants with rental revenue that exceeded 10% of the Company’s rental revenue.

Note 9 – 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.

Objective of MD&A

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is a narrative explanation of the financial statements and other statistical data that we believe will enhance a reader’s understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations.

The objectives of MD&A are:

To provide a narrative explanation of our financial statements that enables investors to see the Company from management’s perspective;

To enhance the overall financial disclosure and provide the context within which financial information should be analyzed; and

To provide information about the quality of, and potential variability of, our earnings and cash flow so that investors can ascertain the likelihood that past performance is indicative of future performance.

Overview

Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is a Maryland corporation and internally managed REIT that owns and acquires healthcare facilities and leases those facilities to physician groups and regional and national healthcare systems. We hold our facilities and conduct our operations through a Delaware limited partnership subsidiary, Global Medical REIT L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). Our wholly owned subsidiary, Global Medical REIT GP LLC, is the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of March 31, 2024, we owned 92.44% of the outstanding common operating partnership units (“OP Units”) of our Operating Partnership, with an aggregate of 7.56% 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 OP Units.

Our revenues are derived from the rental and operating expense reimbursement payments we receive from our tenants, and most of our leases are medium to long-term triple net leases with contractual rent escalation provisions. Our primary expenses are depreciation, interest, and general and administrative expenses. We finance our acquisitions with a mixture of debt and equity primarily from our cash from operations, borrowings under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”), and stock issuances.

Business Overview and Strategy

Our business strategy is to invest in healthcare properties that provide an attractive rate of return relative to our cost of capital and are operated by profitable physician groups, regional or national healthcare systems or combinations thereof. We believe this strategy allows us to attain our goals of providing stockholders with (i) reliable dividends and (ii) stock price appreciation. To implement this strategy, we seek to invest:

●

in medical office buildings and other de-centralized components of the healthcare delivery system because we believe that healthcare delivery trends in the U.S. are increasingly moving away from centralized hospital locations;

●

in small to mid-sized healthcare facilities located in secondary markets and suburbs of primary markets and that provide services needed for an aging population, such as cardiovascular treatment, rehabilitation, eye surgery, gastroenterology, oncology treatment and orthopedics. We believe these facilities and markets are typically overlooked by larger REITs and other healthcare investors but contain tenant credit profiles that are like those of larger, more expensive facilities in primary markets; and

●

to a lesser extent, in opportunistic acquisitions, including (i) certain acute-care hospitals and long-term acute care facilities (LTACs) that we believe provide premium, risk-adjusted returns, (ii) health system corporate office and administrative buildings, which we believe will help us develop relationships with larger health systems and (iii) behavioral and mental health facilities that are operated by national or regional operators and are located in markets that demonstrate a need for such services.

-25-

Table of Contents

Most of our healthcare facilities are leased to single-tenants under triple-net leases. As we continue to grow our portfolio and the competition for single-tenant, triple-net leased properties has intensified, we have added to our portfolio some multi-tenant properties with gross lease or modified gross lease structures.

Corporate Sustainability and Social Responsibility

Our business values integrate environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and strong governance practices throughout our Company.

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) continues to lead our environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) efforts through a standing ESG committee. The primary purpose of the ESG committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities to provide oversight and support of our commitment to ESG matters by overseeing: (1) our general ESG strategy and policies as set by our management, (2) communications with our employees, investors, and other stakeholders with respect to ESG matters, (3) developments relating to, and improving our understanding of, ESG matters, (4) our compliance with certain ESG-related legal and regulatory requirements, and (5) coordination with our other Board committees on ESG matters of common import.

In June 2023, we released our second Corporate Social Responsibility Report, which detailed our progress and areas of focus in the ESG realm. The contents of our Corporate Social Responsibility Report are not incorporated by reference into this Report or in any other report or document we file with the SEC.

Our commitment to employee engagement remains a high-priority, as we continue to make accommodations for health, safety, and work-life balance, including at our headquarters which is LEED platinum certified and includes a fitness center, café and roof-top lounge.

Climate Change Risk

We take climate change and the risks associated with climate change seriously, including both physical and transitional risks. We utilize software to help us identify and measure the potential climate risk exposure for our properties. The software analysis summarizes the climate change-related risks, groups them by onset potential and identifies opportunities for risk mitigation. We prioritize energy efficiency and sustainability when evaluating investment opportunities and have begun to monitor our portfolio for climate risk factors. We utilize utility and energy audits that are performed by third-party engineering consultants during the due diligence phase of our acquisitions. The energy consumption data that we collect is used to assess our facilities’ carbon emission levels. Capturing and tracking this information may help inform future mitigation and remediation efforts when possible. To that end, we continue to explore ways to mitigate climate risk, should it be present, in our acquisition strategy, as well as ways to contribute to the reduction of climate impact through proactive asset management that looks for ways to incorporate renewable energy resources and energy utilization reduction.

We stand with our communities, tenants, and stockholders in supporting meaningful solutions that address this global challenge and contribute to the sustainability of our business objectives.

Impact of Increased Interest Rates and Inflation

After many years of low inflation, the U.S. inflation rate increased substantially during 2022 and remained elevated during 2023 and into the first quarter of 2024. In response to elevated inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) increased the target range for the Federal Funds Rate from 0.25% – 0.50% in the first quarter of 2022 to 5.25% – 5.50% as of May 2024. Many market participants had anticipated that the high trajectory of interest rates during 2022 and throughout 2023 would lead to an economic recession towards the end of 2023 that would have caused the Fed to begin lowering the Federal Funds Rate. However, certain components of the U.S. economy have outperformed expectations and inflation continues to remain higher than the Fed’s target rate, which has caused the Fed to take a “wait-and-see” approach to monetary policy rather than beginning a process of lowering the Federal Funds Rate. The increase in the Federal Funds Rate, along with other actions taken by the Fed, had a ripple effect on other benchmark interest rates, including one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is the reference rate for our indebtedness under the Credit Facility. During the first quarter of 2024, SOFR remained elevated and only decreased moderately from 5.40% at the beginning of the quarter to 5.34% at quarter end. Such elevated SOFR results in higher interest costs on our floating rate borrowings, which negatively affects our operating profits and contributes to the delay in our ability to grow our investment portfolio.

-26-

Table of Contents

Additionally, as most of our leases are triple-net leases, we are somewhat insulated from the effects of inflation on our operating expenses. However, due to the longer-term nature of our leases, we are not able to quickly increase rents to offset fully the effects of increased interest rates and inflation on our interest expense and other costs. Also, we may not be able to renew expiring leases at lease rates that reflect increases in inflation.

Continuing Impact of Healthcare Wage Inflation

The COVID-19 epidemic affected the healthcare industry in many ways. Many stories exist about U.S. healthcare workers, especially nurses, experiencing burnout due to the length and severity of the epidemic, and this has caused many nurses and other medical professionals to switch jobs within the medical profession or quit their professions altogether. This phenomenon has led to material increases in labor costs for healthcare systems, especially hospital systems, as some employers have had to rely on higher costing contract nursing labor to sustain their businesses. Although reliance on contract nursing and overall healthcare wage inflation may moderate during 2024, the overall increase in healthcare labor costs remains. Whether enhanced technology and cost-saving measures and increased reimbursements from payors will help offset these costs remains to be seen.

Our Properties

As of March 31, 2024, our portfolio consisted of gross investment in real estate of $1.4 billion, with an aggregate of 4.8 million leasable square feet and an aggregate $110.5 million of annualized base rent.

Properties Under Contract to Acquire

In May 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a 15-property portfolio of outpatient medical real estate for an aggregate purchase price of $81.3 million. The properties are fully occupied and leased under triple-net or absolute triple-net leases.

The Company expects to complete this acquisition in two tranches, with the first tranche (approximately $30 million - $35 million) closing in the third quarter of 2024 and the remainder closing in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company’s obligation to close the acquisition is subject to certain customary terms and conditions, including due diligence reviews. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company will close this acquisition on a timely basis, or at all.

Capital Raising Activity

In January 2024, the Company and the Operating Partnership implemented a $300 million “at-the-market” equity offering program, pursuant to which we may offer and sell (including through forward sales), from time to time, shares of our common stock (the “2024 ATM Program”). No shares were sold under the 2024 ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Debt Activity

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we borrowed $14.0 million under the Credit Facility and repaid $7.8 million, for a net amount borrowed of $6.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we borrowed $12.6 million under the Credit Facility and repaid $14.8 million, for a net amount repaid of $2.2 million. As of March 31, 2024, the net outstanding Credit Facility balance was $592.1 million and as of May 6, 2024, we had unutilized borrowing capacity under the Revolver of $290 million.

Recent Developments

Chapter 11 Reorganization Filing of Steward Health Care

On May 6, 2024, one of the Company’s tenants, Steward Health Care (“Steward”), announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. As of March 31, 2024, Steward represented 2.8% of the Company’s annualized base rent, primarily in one facility located in Beaumont, Texas (the “Beaumont Facility”). Steward was current in its rental payments through February 2024 and as of March 31, 2024, the Company’s receivable balance from Steward was $0.5 million, including $0.2 million of deferred rent. The Company was actively pursuing re-leasing opportunities at the Beaumont Facility prior to the Steward bankruptcy announcement and is optimistic about its long term prospects at this location. There can be no assurances that the Company will receive any amounts owed to it by Steward or that the Company will be able to successfully re-lease the Beaumont Facility.

Trends Which May Influence Our Results of Operations

We believe the following trends may positively impact our results of operations:

●

An aging population. According to the 2020 U.S. Census, the nation’s 65-and-older population has grown rapidly since 2010, driven by the aging of Baby Boomers born between 1946 and 1964. The 65-and-older population grew by over a third during the past decade, and by 3.2% from 2018 to 2019. We believe this segment of the U.S. population will utilize many of the services provided at our healthcare facilities such as orthopedics, cardiac, gastroenterology and rehabilitation.

●

A continuing shift towards outpatient care. According to the American Hospital Association, patients are demanding more outpatient operations. We believe this shift in patient preference from inpatient to outpatient facilities will benefit our tenants as most of our properties consist of outpatient facilities.

●

Physician practice group and hospital consolidation. We believe the trend towards physician group consolidation will serve to strengthen the credit quality of our tenants if our tenants merge or are consolidated with larger health systems.

We believe the following trends may negatively impact our results of operations:

●

Fed’s “wait-and-see” approach could cause interest rates to remain elevated for longer than previously expected. Market reaction to the Fed’s commentary after its May 2024 meeting, where it maintained the target range for the Federal Funds Rate at 5.25% to 5.50%, indicated that the Fed does not plan to cut interest rates until it has more time to analyze whether previous interest rate increases have had the desired effect on inflation, which could result in continued elevated interest rates in 2024, if not longer. Although term SOFR, which is the reference rate for our floating rate debt, is expected to decrease during 2024 and 2025, any action or inaction by the Fed in the coming months could affect the timing and amounts of such decreases.

Continued elevated interest rates have contributed to a continued lull in the common stock prices of many REITs, including the price of the Company’s common stock. A continued low stock price and elevated interest rates have caused the Company’s cost of capital to remain elevated, which, in turn, has significantly reduced the ability to acquire assets that meet the Company’s investment requirements.

●

Healthcare Wage Inflation. The COVID-19 epidemic affected the healthcare industry in many ways. Many stories exist about U.S. healthcare workers, especially nurses, experiencing burnout due to the length and severity of the epidemic, and this has caused many nurses and other medical professionals to switch jobs within the medical profession or quit their professions altogether. This phenomenon has led to material increases in labor costs for healthcare systems, especially hospital systems, as some employers have had to rely on higher costing contract nursing labor to sustain their businesses. Although reliance on contract nursing and overall healthcare wage inflation may moderate during 2024, the overall increase in healthcare labor costs remains. Whether enhanced technology and cost-saving measures and increased reimbursements from payors will help offset these costs remains to be seen.

●

Changes in third party reimbursement methods and policies. The price of healthcare services has been increasing, and, as a result, we believe that third-party payors, such as Medicare and commercial insurance companies, will continue to scrutinize and reduce the types of healthcare services eligible for, and the amounts of, reimbursement under their health insurance plans. Additionally, many employer-based insurance plans continue to increase the percentage of insurance premiums for which covered individuals are responsible, which makes healthcare services more expensive for individuals. These trends were exacerbated by the COVID-19 epidemic, as medical expenditures increased significantly during the epidemic and have not yet returned to pre-COVID-19 levels. If these trends continue, our tenants’ businesses will continue to be negatively affected, which may impact their ability to pay rent to us.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Commission on February 28, 2024, for further information regarding the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The major factors that resulted in differences in our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, were lower interest rates due to lower leverage and the impact of our interest rate swaps, lower average borrowings, and the impact resulting from three property disposition transactions that were completed during 2023. Our total investment

Revenue

Total Revenue

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $35.1 million, compared to $36.2 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $1.1 million. The decrease primarily resulted from the impact of three property disposition transactions during 2023. Within that decrease, $5.0 million in revenue was recognized from net lease expense recoveries during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2023.

Expenses

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $4.4 million, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $0.6 million. The increase resulted from an increase in non-cash LTIP compensation expense, which was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2023, and an increase in cash compensation and general corporate expenses.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $7.4 million, compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease resulted primarily from $5.0 million of recoverable property operating expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2023. In addition, our operating expenses included $1.5 million of property operating expenses from gross leases for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $10.1 million, compared to $10.5 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $0.4 million. The decrease primarily resulted from the impact of three property disposition transactions during 2023.

Table of Contents

Amortization Expense

Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $4.0 million, compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $0.4 million. The decrease primarily resulted from the impact of three property disposition transactions during 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $6.9 million, compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $1.4 million. This decrease was due to lower interest rates and lower average borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

The weighted average interest rate of our debt for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 3.90% compared to 4.27% for the same period in 2023. Additionally, the weighted average interest rate and term of our debt was 3.85% and 2.7 years at March 31, 2024.

Income Before Gain on Sale of Investment Property

Income before gain on sale of investment property for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $2.3 million, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $0.6 million.

Gain on Sale of Investment Property

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 we had no property sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold a medical office building located in Jacksonville, Florida receiving gross proceeds of $4.4 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $0.5 million.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $2.3 million, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $0.1 million.

Assets and Liabilities

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our principal assets consisted of investments in real estate, net of $1.2 billion. We completed no acquisitions or property sales during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our liquid assets consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $7.8 million and $6.7 million, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The increase in our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances to $7.8 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $6.7 million as of December 31, 2023, was primarily due to net borrowings on our Credit Facility and net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by funds used to pay dividends to our common and preferred stockholders and holders of OP Units and LTIP Units and funds used for capital expenditures on existing real estate investments and leasing commissions.

The increase in our total liabilities to $666.5 million as of March 31, 2024 compared to $661.9 million as of December 31, 2023, was primarily the result of higher net borrowings outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our short-term (up to 12 months) liquidity requirements include:

●

Interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, including the payment of the approximately $11 million outstanding principal balance on the Dumfries loan that matures in June 2024;

-31-

Table of Contents

●

General and administrative expenses;

●

Property operating expenses;

●

Property acquisitions;

●

Distributions on our common and preferred stock and OP Units and LTIP Units; and

●

Capital and tenant improvements and leasing costs.

In 2024, we are contractually obligated to pay, or have capital commitments for, principal and interest payments on our outstanding debt and ground and operating lease expenses. In addition, if we decide to redeem our preferred stock in full, we would have to pay the liquidation preference of $77.6 million plus accrued dividends, fees and expenses.

Our long-term (beyond 12 months) liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, capital and tenant improvements and leasing costs at our properties, scheduled debt maturities, general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, and distributions. Beyond 2024, we are contractually obligated to pay, or have capital commitments for, principal and interest payments on our outstanding debt and ground and operating lease expenses.

We expect to satisfy our short and long-term liquidity needs through various internal and external sources, including cash flow from operations, debt financing, sales of additional equity securities, the issuance of OP Units in connection with acquisitions of additional properties, proceeds from select property dispositions and recapitalization transactions.

Internal Sources of Liquidity

Our primary internal sources of liquidity include cash flow from operations and proceeds from select property dispositions and recapitalization transactions.

External Sources of Liquidity

Our primary external sources of liquidity include net proceeds received from equity issuances, including the issuance of OP Units in connection with acquisitions of additional properties, and debt financing, including borrowings under our Credit Facility and secured term loans.

Equity Issuances

In January 2024, the Company and the Operating Partnership implemented the 2024 ATM Program, pursuant to which we may offer and sell (including through forward sales), from time to time, shares of our common stock. No shares were sold under the 2024 ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or from April 1, 2024 through May 6, 2024.

Debt Financing

Credit Facility. Our Credit Facility consists of (i) the $350 million Term Loan A, (ii) the $150 million Term Loan B, and (iii) the $400 million Revolver. The Credit Facility also contains a $500 million accordion feature. As of May 6, 2024, we had unutilized borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of $290 million.

The Credit Facility is an unsecured facility with a term of (i) four years (beginning on August 1, 2022) for the Revolver (subject to two, six-month extension options), (ii) five years for Term Loan A (beginning on its origination date of May 3, 2021), and (iii) five years and six months (beginning on August 1, 2022) for Term Loan B.

We are subject to a number of financial covenants under the Credit Facility, including, among other things, the following as of the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a maximum consolidated unsecured leverage ratio of less than 60%, (ii) a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio of less than 30%, (iii) a maximum consolidated secured recourse leverage ratio of less than 10%, (iv) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00, (v) a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00, (vi) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of less than 60%, and (vii) a minimum net worth of $573 million plus 75% of all net proceeds raised through equity

offerings subsequent to March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2024, management believed it complied with all of the financial and non-financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility.

Other Fixed Debt. We have $25.7 million in gross notes payable as of March 31, 2024. This debt is comprised of three instruments.

Hedging Instruments. We have ten interest rate swaps and three forward-starting interest rate swaps that are used to manage our interest rate risk. A description of these swaps is below:

Term Loan A Swaps

As of March 31, 2024, six of our interest rate swaps related to Term Loan A. The combined notional value of these swaps is $350 million, with $200 million of the swaps maturing in August 2024 and the remaining $150 million maturing in April 2026. In addition, we have three forward starting interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $200 million, each with a maturity date of April 2026, that will become effective on the August 2024 maturity date of the existing swaps. Currently, the Term Loan A swaps fix the SOFR component of Term Loan A at a rate of 1.50% through August 2024. From August 2024 to April 2026 the SOFR component of Term Loan A will be fixed at 1.36%.

Term Loan B Swaps

As of March 31, 2024, four of our interest rate swaps related to Term Loan B with a combined notional value of $150 million that fix the SOFR component on Term Loan B through January 2028 at 2.54%.

Total Fixed Debt. Our fixed debt totaled $525.7 million on a gross basis at March 31, 2024, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.31% based on our interest rate swaps and at current leverage. The weighted average maturity of our fixed debt was 2.6 years at March 31, 2024. Due to our forward swap structures, the weighted average interest rate on fixed debt outstanding as of March 31, 2024 is expected to improve over the next two years.

Cash Flow Information

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $14.3 million, compared to $15.8 million for the same period in 2023. During the 2024 period non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses were lower, tenant receivables increased, and certain liabilities decreased, partially offset by an increase in non-cash LTIP compensation expense and higher net income.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $2.7 million, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $3.1 million for the same period in 2023. During the 2024 period, more funds were used for capital expenditures on existing real estate investments and leasing commissions and we received no proceeds from the sale of investment properties.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $10.5 million, compared $19.3 million for the same period in 2023. During the 2024 period we had net borrowings on our Credit Facility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management considers certain non-GAAP financial measures to be useful supplemental measures of the Company's operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company reports non-GAAP financial measures because these measures are observed by management to also be among the most predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to evaluate REITs. For these reasons, management deems it appropriate to disclose and discuss these non-GAAP financial measures. Set forth below are descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures management considers relevant to the Company's business and useful to investors, as well as reconciliations of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

-33-

Table of Contents

The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are not necessarily identical to those presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income, as indicators of the Company's financial performance, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of the Company's liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Management believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the Company's historical consolidated operating results, these measures should be examined in conjunction with net income and cash flows from operations as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this Report.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

Funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the SEC. The Company considers FFO and AFFO to be important supplemental measures of its operating performance and believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results.

In accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”) definition, FFO means net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP before noncontrolling interests of holders of OP Units and LTIP Units, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, less preferred stock dividends, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of debt issuance costs and the amortization of above and below market leases), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Because FFO excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of debt issuance costs and above and below market lease amortization expense), the Company believes that FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from the closest GAAP measurement, net income or loss.

AFFO is a non-GAAP measure used by many investors and analysts to measure a real estate company’s operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations. Management calculates AFFO by modifying the NAREIT computation of FFO by adjusting it for certain cash and non-cash items and certain recurring and non-recurring items. For the Company these items include recurring acquisition and disposition costs, loss on the extinguishment of debt, recurring straight line deferred rental revenue, recurring stock-based compensation expense, recurring amortization of above and below market leases, recurring amortization of debt issuance costs, and other items.

Management believes that reporting AFFO in addition to FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investment community to use when evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a comparative basis.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre)

The Company calculates EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by NAREIT and defines EBITDAre as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, gain or loss on the sale of investment properties, and impairment loss, as applicable. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAre as EBITDAre plus loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash stock compensation expense, non-cash intangible amortization related to above and below market leases, preacquisition expense and other normalizing items. Management considers EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre important measures because they provide additional information to allow management, investors, and our current and potential creditors to evaluate and compare our core operating results and our ability to service debt.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business and investment objectives, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.

We may be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of debt used to acquire healthcare facilities, including borrowings under the Credit Facility. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the value of our variable rate financial obligations to selected changes in market interest rates. The range of changes chosen reflects our view of changes which are reasonably possible over a one-year period.

As of March 31, 2024, we had $98.6 million of unhedged borrowings outstanding under the Revolver (before the netting of unamortized debt issuance costs) that bears interest at a variable rate. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Liquidity and Capital Resources,” for a detailed discussion of our Credit Facility. At March 31, 2024, SOFR on our outstanding floating-rate borrowings was 5.33%. Assuming no increase in the amount of our variable interest rate debt, if SOFR increased 100 basis points, our cash flow would decrease by approximately $1.0 million annually. Assuming no increase in the amount of our variable rate debt, if SOFR were reduced 100 basis points, our cash flow would increase by approximately $1.0 million annually.

Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we may borrow at fixed rates or floating rates. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Hedging Instruments,” for a description of our interest rate swaps.

We may enter into additional derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and caps, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on our future borrowings. We will not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of

-36-

Table of Contents

disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter 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

We are not involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation and, to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.
