Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business Overview

Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns, leases, manages, acquires, finances, develops and redevelops income-producing real estate properties associated primarily with the delivery of outpatient healthcare services throughout the United States. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had gross investments of approximately $14.2 billion in 695 real estate properties, construction in progress, redevelopments, financing receivables, financing lease right-of-use assets, land held for development and corporate property. The Company's 695 real estate properties are located in 35 states and total approximately 40.7 million square feet. The Company provided leasing and property management services to approximately 38.9 million square feet nationwide. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had a weighted average ownership interest of approximately 49% in 33 real estate properties held in joint ventures. See Note 3 below for more details regarding the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures. Any references to square footage or occupancy percentage, and any amounts derived from these values in these notes to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review.

Basis of Presentation

For purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to the “Company” are to Legacy HR for periods prior to the closing of the Merger and thereafter to Legacy HR and Legacy HTA after giving effect to the Merger. The Merger is described in more detail in Note 2 to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein and specific disclosures incorporated as a result of the Merger, management believes there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In addition, the interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2022 for many reasons including, but not limited to, the Merger (as discussed in more detail in Note 2 below), acquisitions, dispositions, capital financing transactions, changes in interest rates and the effects of other trends, risks and uncertainties.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include, as of September 30, 2022, the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures and partnerships where the Company controls the operating activities. The interests not owned by the Company are presented as non-controlling interests on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity. GAAP requires us to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Accounting Standards Codification 810 broadly defines a VIE as an entity in which either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is the VIE’s primary beneficiary. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis. As of September 30, 2022, the Company

identified three entities that qualified as VIE's because the limited partners in these partnerships, although entitled to vote on certain matters, do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Two of the entities are consolidated and one is unconsolidated.

Holders of operating partnership units (“OP Units”) are considered to be non-controlling interest holders in the OP and their ownership interests are reflected as equity on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Further, a portion of the earnings and losses of the OP are allocated to non-controlling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to common stock, any difference between the fair value of the common stock issued and the carrying value of the OP Units converted to common stock is recorded as a component of equity. As of September 30, 2022, there were approximately 4.0 million, or 1.1%, of OP Units issued and outstanding held by non-controlling interest holders. Additionally, the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the interests in the OP. However, because the Company holds what is deemed to be significantly all of the OP, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs.

For property holding entities not determined to be VIEs, the Company consolidates such entities in which it owns 100% of the equity or has a controlling financial interest evidenced by ownership of a majority voting interest. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company's unconsolidated joint venture arrangements were accounted for using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercised significant influence over but did not control these entities. See Note 3 below for more details regarding the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures.

Use of Estimates in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made on the Company's prior year Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet to conform to current year presentation. Previously, the Company's Lease intangibles were included in Building, improvements and lease intangibles and Goodwill was included with Other assets, net. These amounts are now classified as separate line items on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Investments in Leases - Financing Receivables, Net

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, for transactions in which the Company enters into a contract to acquire an asset and leases it back to the seller (i.e., a sale leaseback transaction), control of the asset is not considered to have transferred when the seller-lessee has a purchase option. As a result, the Company does not recognize the underlying real estate asset but instead recognizes a financial asset in accordance with ASC 310 “Receivables”.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company reclassified the two medical office buildings in Nashville, Tennessee that were acquired in separate sale-leaseback transactions in the fourth quarter of 2021. The leases with the sellers commenced in the first quarter, which resulted in the allocation of the financing receivable totaling $73.9 million to land and building and improvements.

Real Estate Notes Receivable

Real estate notes receivable consists of mezzanine and other real estate loans, which are generally collateralized by a pledge of the borrower’s ownership interest in the respective real estate owner, a mortgage or deed of trust, and/or corporate guarantees. Real estate notes receivable are intended to be held-to-maturity and are recorded at amortized cost, net of unamortized loan origination costs and fees and allowance for credit losses. As of September 30, 2022, real estate notes receivable, net totaled $79.0 million.

Interest Income

Income from Lease Financing Receivables

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized the related income from two financing receivables totaling $2.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, based on an imputed interest rate over the

terms of the applicable lease. As a result, the interest recognized from the financing receivable will not equal the cash payments from the lease agreement.

Acquisition costs incurred in connection with entering into the financing receivable are treated as loan origination fees. These costs are classified with the financing receivable and are included in the balance of the net investment. Amortization of these amounts will be recognized as a reduction to Income from financing receivable, net over the life of the lease.

Income from Real Estate Notes Receivable

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized interest income of $1.3 million related to real estate notes receivable. Unpaid interest is capitalized, with principal and any unpaid interest due on the maturity date.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)

The Company recognizes certain revenue under the core principle of Topic 606. This topic requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Lease revenue is not within the scope of Topic 606. To achieve the core principle, the Company applies the five step model specified in the guidance.

Revenue that is accounted for under Topic 606 is segregated on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the Other operating line item. This line item includes parking income, management fee income and other miscellaneous income. Below is a detail of the amounts by category:


	THREE MONTHS ENDED September 30,				NINE MONTHS ENDED September 30,
in thousands	2022		2021		2022		2021
Type of Revenue
Parking income	$	2,428	$	2,187	$	6,100	$	5,725

Management fee income 1	1,426		723		2,864		1,381
Miscellaneous	203		59		306		241
	$	4,057	$	2,969	$	9,270	$	7,347

1 Includes the recovery of certain expenses under the financing receivable as outlined in the management agreement.

The Company’s major types of revenue that are accounted for under Topic 606 that are listed above are all accounted for as the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligations that are identified for each of these items are satisfied over time, and the Company recognizes revenue monthly based on this principle.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04

On March 12, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). 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. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR and Term SOFR-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. Management continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
