12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2024

Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]

On July 20, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 28, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (now known as HRTI, LLC) (“Legacy HR”), Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (now known as Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated) (“Legacy HTA”), the OP, and HR Acquisition 2, LLC (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy HR, with Legacy HR continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legacy HTA (the “Merger”).

On the Closing Date, each outstanding share of Legacy HR common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Legacy HR Common Stock”), was cancelled and converted into the right to receive one share of Legacy HTA class A common stock at a fixed ratio of 1.00 to 1.00. Per the terms of the Merger Agreement, Legacy HTA declared a special dividend of $4.82 (the “Special Dividend”) for each outstanding share of Legacy HTA class A common stock, $0.01 par value per

share ( the “Legacy HTA Common Stock”), and the OP declared a corresponding distribution to the holders of its partnership units, payable to Legacy HTA stockholders and OP unitholders of record on July 19, 2022.

Immediately following the Merger, Legacy HR converted to a Maryland limited liability company and changed its name to HRTI, LLC and Legacy HTA changed its name to “Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated”. In addition, the equity interests of Legacy HR were contributed by Legacy HTA by means of a contribution and assignment agreement to the OP, and Legacy HR became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the OP. The Company operates under the name “Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated” and its shares of class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “HR”.

For accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a “reverse acquisition” in which Legacy HTA was considered the legal acquirer and Legacy HR was considered the accounting acquirer based on various factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the composition of the board of directors of the combined company following the Merger, (ii) the composition of senior management of the combined company following the Merger, and (iii) the premium transferred to the Legacy HTA stockholders. As a result, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer, Legacy HR, became the historical financial statements of the Company.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests, if any, to be recognized at their acquisition date fair value.

The implied consideration transferred on the Closing Date is as follows:

(a) The weighted average amortization period for the acquired lease intangible assets is approximately 6 years.
(b) Includes $15.9 million of contractual accounts receivable, which approximates fair value.
(c) Includes $78.7 million of gross contractual real estate notes receivable, the fair value of which was $74.8 million, and the Company expected to collect substantially all of the real estate notes receivable proceeds as of the Closing Date.

The cumulative measurement period adjustments recorded through June 30, 2023 are final and primarily resulted from updated valuations related to the Company’s real estate assets and liabilities and additional information obtained by the Company related to the properties acquired in the Merger and their respective tenants, and resulted in an increase to goodwill of $101.6 million.

Based on the final purchase price allocation of fair value, approximately $247.0 million was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The recognized goodwill was attributable to expected synergies and benefits arising from the Merger, including anticipated general and administrative cost savings and potential economies of scale benefits in both tenant and vendor relationships following the closing of the Merger. None of the goodwill recognized was deductible for tax purposes. During 2024, the Company experienced a sustained decline in the price per share of its common stock, which was identified as an indicator of goodwill impairment. As a result, a goodwill evaluation was performed and the Company recorded a full impairment of its goodwill, which was recorded as a non-cash charge in “Impairment of goodwill” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
