The 2023 column includes a $23 million mortgage loan that was converted to fee simple ownership of one property as described under the Lifepoint Transaction below.

2025 Activity

In 2025, our real estate and other investments totaling approximately $142 million included:

a)
the acquisition of one post-acute property for $32 million in November 2025 to be leased to Vibra Healthcare (“Vibra”);
b)
a new investment in April 2025 of CHF 52 million (or approximately $63 million), inclusive of a CHF 25 million (or approximately $30 million) short-term loan, in the Swiss Medical Network real estate joint venture, proceeds of which, along with fundings from our joint venture partner, were used to facilitate the acquisition and leasing of one general acute care facility in Switzerland and repayment of debt; and
c)
the funding of approximately $47 million to the secured lender in the Steward bankruptcy in March 2025 in order to obtain control over certain real estate assets for use by our new tenants.

2024 Activity

Utah Transaction

On April 12, 2024, we sold our interests in five Utah hospitals for an aggregate agreed valuation of approximately $1.2 billion to a newly formed joint venture (the "Utah partnership") with an institutional asset manager (the "Fund"), which we call the Utah Transaction, and we recognized a gain on real estate of approximately $380 million, partially offset by a $20 million write-off of unbilled straight-line rent receivables. We retained an approximately 25% interest in the Utah partnership valued initially at approximately $108 million, which is being accounted for on the equity method on a quarterly lag basis and included in the "Investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures" line of the consolidated balance sheets. The Fund purchased an approximate 75% interest for $886 million. In conjunction with this transaction closing, the Utah partnership placed new non-recourse secured financing, providing $190 million of additional cash to us. In total, the Utah Transaction generated $1.1 billion of cash to us. The Utah lessee (an affiliate of CommonSpirit Health ("CommonSpirit")) may acquire the leased real estate at a price equal to the greater of fair market value and the approximate $1.2 billion lease base at the fifth or tenth anniversary of the 2023 master lease commencement. We granted the Fund certain limited and conditional preferences based on the possible execution of the purchase option, which we accounted for as a derivative liability with an initial value of approximately $2.3 million.

2023 Activity

Lifepoint Transaction

On February 7, 2023, a subsidiary of Lifepoint Health, Inc. ("Lifepoint") acquired a majority interest in Springstone (now Lifepoint Behavioral Health, "Lifepoint Behavioral") (the "Lifepoint Transaction") based on an enterprise value of $250 million. As part of the transaction, we received approximately $205 million in full satisfaction of our initial acquisition loan, including accrued interest, and we retained (at that time) our minority equity investment in the operations of Lifepoint Behavioral. Separately, we

converted an approximate $23 million mortgage loan (made as part of our initial acquisition in 2021) into the fee simple ownership of a property in Washington, which is leased, along with other behavioral health hospitals, to Lifepoint Behavioral, under a master lease agreement. In connection with the Lifepoint Transaction, Lifepoint extended its lease on eight existing general acute care hospitals by five years to 2041.

In the first quarter of 2024, we sold our minority equity investment in Lifepoint Behavioral for approximately $12 million.

Other Transactions

In the second quarter of 2023, we acquired three inpatient rehabilitation facilities for a total of approximately €70 million (approximately $77 million). These hospitals are leased to Median Kliniken S.á.r.l ("MEDIAN") pursuant to a long-term master lease with annual inflation-based escalators.

On April 14, 2023, we acquired five behavioral health hospitals located in the U.K. for approximately £44 million (approximately $58 million). These hospitals are leased to Priory pursuant to five separate lease agreements with annual inflation-based escalators.

In the first quarter of 2023, we originated a $50 million convertible loan to PHP Holdings, the managed care business of Prospect at that time. See subheading "Leasing Operations (Lessor)" in this Note 3 for further updates on Prospect.

We have two other development projects ongoing in Texas (Texarkana development) and Massachusetts (Norwood redevelopment). These are not highlighted above; however, we have completed construction to the stage where the building is "weathered in" and environmentally secure so as to physically protect our investment while we actively market the hospitals for sale or lease. As of December 31, 2025, we estimate that the cost of additional construction that we believe will be more efficient if completed in the near-term (such as electing to accelerate completion of a parking structure at one hospital), approximates between $10 million and $15 million.

Separately, on the Norwood redevelopment, we recovered from our casualty insurers cash in November 2024 that was in excess of our recovery receivable related to the 2020 storm losses (included in "Other assets" in the consolidated balance sheets), resulting in a $24 million additional recovery in the 2024 third quarter.

2025 Activity

During 2025, we completed construction, and began recording rental income, on three projects totaling approximately $46.5 million, two of which are leased to Lifepoint Behavioral and the other to Surgery Partners.

2024 Activity

During the fourth quarter of 2024, we completed construction and began recording rental income on an existing general acute care facility located in Idaho Falls, Idaho for a total amount of approximately $50 million.

During the first quarter of 2024, we completed construction, and began recording rental income, on a $35.4 million behavioral health facility located in McKinney, Texas, that is leased to Lifepoint Behavioral. We also completed construction and began recording rental income on a €46 million (approximately $49.0 million) general acute care facility located in Spain that is leased to IMED.

2023 Activity

During 2023, we completed construction and began recording rental income on one inpatient rehabilitation facility located in Lexington, South Carolina, which commenced rent on July 1, 2023, and another inpatient rehabilitation facility located in Stockton, California, which commenced rent on May 1, 2023. Both of these facilities are leased to Ernest Health, Inc. ("Ernest") pursuant to an existing long-term master lease.

Disposals

2025 Activity

During 2025, we completed the sale of nine facilities (including two former Steward-operated facilities that were being leased to College Health for nominal rent) along with certain ancillary land and facilities for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $121 million, resulting in a gain on real estate of approximately $5.5 million. For one of the properties sold, we agreed for the tenant to retain the cash proceeds of approximately $50 million as an incentive to close on a substitute property and keep cash rents the same. The $50 million lease incentive will be amortized over the remaining 16-year master lease term as a reduction of revenue.

2024 Activity

During 2024, we had the following disposal activities:

See Utah Transaction above for a discussion of the five Utah hospitals sold on April 12, 2024.
On April 9, 2024, we sold five properties to Prime Healthcare Services, Inc. ("Prime") for total proceeds of approximately $250 million along with a $100 million interest-bearing mortgage loan (which was fully repaid on August 29, 2024). This transaction resulted in a gain on real estate of approximately $53 million, partially offset by a non-cash straight-line rent write-off of approximately $30 million. As part of this sale transaction, we extended the lease maturity of four other facilities with Prime to 2044. This amended lease has inflation-based escalators, collared between 2% and 4%, and a purchase option on or prior to August 26, 2028 for a value of $238 million, which is greater than our net book value for these properties. After August 26, 2028, this option price reverts to $260 million (subject to annual escalations).
On July 23, 2024, we sold the 50-bed Arizona General Hospital in Mesa, Arizona and seven freestanding emergency departments to Dignity Health ("Dignity") for $160 million. This sale resulted in a gain on real estate of approximately $85 million, partially offset by a non-cash straight-line rent write-off of approximately $20 million.
On August 14, 2024, we sold 11 freestanding emergency departments to UCHealth for $86 million. This sale resulted in a gain on real estate of approximately $40 million, partially offset by a non-cash straight-line rent write-off of approximately $16 million.
As a result of our global settlement with Steward Health Care System ("Steward") as discussed further under "Leasing Operations (Lessor)" under this same Note 3, we consented to the sale of three facilities located in Florida ("Space Coast" properties) to Orlando Health, which closed on October 23, 2024. In accordance with the terms of the global settlement, the Steward bankruptcy estate retained $395 million of the approximately $440 million total proceeds, and we retained the remaining proceeds and recognized an approximate $2 million gain in the fourth quarter of 2024.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we sold the Watsonville facility resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $40 million and an approximate $4 million gain.
During 2024, we also completed the sale of six other facilities and two ancillary facilities for approximately $14 million.

2023 Activity

On March 30, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our 11 general acute care facilities located in Australia and operated by Healthscope Ltd. ("Healthscope") (the "Australia Transaction") to affiliates of HMC Capital for cash proceeds of approximately A$1.2 billion. As a result, we designated the Australian portfolio as held for sale in the first quarter of 2023 and recorded approximately $79 million of net impairment charges at that time, which included $37.4 million of straight-line rent receivable write-offs and approximately $8 million in fees to sell the hospitals, partially offset by approximately $16 million of gains from our interest rate swap and foreign currency translation amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income that were reclassified to earnings in 2023 as part of the transaction. This transaction closed in two phases. The first phase closed on May 18, 2023, in which we sold seven of the 11 facilities for A$730 million, and the final phase closed on October 10, 2023, in which we sold the remaining four facilities for approximately A$470 million.

On March 8, 2023, we received notice that Prime planned to exercise its right to repurchase from us the real estate associated with one master lease for approximately $100 million. As such, we recorded an approximate $11 million impairment charge in the first quarter of 2023 related to non-cash rent receivables on the three facilities that were sold on July 11, 2023.

Intangible Assets

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, our intangible lease assets were $0.9 billion ($0.6 billion, net of accumulated amortization) and $0.8 billion ($0.6 billion, net of accumulated amortization), respectively.

We recorded amortization expense related to intangible lease assets of $30.4 million, $205.6 million (including $170 million for accelerating the amortization of the in-place lease intangibles associated with two master leases, including the Steward master lease that was terminated effective September 18, 2024), and $332.5 million (including $286 million for accelerating the amortization of the in-place lease intangibles related to re-leasing the Utah properties to CommonSpirit as described in this same Note 3), in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and expect to recognize amortization expense from existing lease intangible assets as follows (amounts in thousands):

As of December 31, 2025, capitalized lease intangibles have a weighted-average remaining life of 22.7 years.

Leasing Operations (Lessor)

We acquire and develop healthcare facilities and lease the facilities to healthcare operating companies. The initial fixed lease terms of these infrastructure-type assets are typically at least 15 years, and most include renewal options at the election of our tenants, generally in five year increments. Over 99% of our leases provide annual rent escalations based on increases in the CPI (or similar indices outside the U.S.) and/or fixed minimum annual rent escalations. Many of our domestic leases contain purchase options with pricing set at various terms but in no case less than our total initial investment. Our leases typically require the tenant to handle and bear most of the costs associated with our properties including repair/maintenance, property taxes, and insurance.

The following table summarizes total future contractual minimum lease payments, excluding operating expense reimbursements, tenant recoveries, and other lease-related adjustments to revenue (i.e., straight-line rents, deferred revenues, or reserves/write-offs), from tenants under noncancelable leases as of December 31, 2025 (amounts in thousands):

For all of our properties subject to lease, we are the legal owner of the property and the tenant's right to use and possess such property is guided by the terms of a lease. At December 31, 2025, we account for all of these leases as operating leases, except where generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires alternative classification, including leases on certain Ernest Health, Inc. ("Ernest") and Prospect facilities that are accounted for as either direct financing or other financing type leases.

The decrease in our investment in financing leases is primarily due to the re-leasing of six California properties formerly operated by Prospect, with a net book value of approximately $510 million, to NOR Healthcare Systems Corporation ("NOR") as a result of their successful bid to acquire the hospital operations. These six properties are now accounted for as operating leases as further discussed in this same Note 3.

Other Leasing Activities

At December 31, 2025, our vacant properties (excluding developments) represent less than 1% of total assets. We are in various stages of either re-leasing or selling these vacant properties.

Our tenants’ financial performance and resulting ability to satisfy their lease and loan obligations to us are material to our financial results and our ability to service our debt and make distributions to our stockholders. Our tenants operate in the healthcare industry, which is highly regulated, and changes in regulation (or delays in enacting regulation) may temporarily impact our tenants’ operations until they are able to make the appropriate adjustments to their business. In addition, our tenants may experience operational challenges from time-to-time as a result of many factors, including those external to them, such as cybersecurity attacks, public health crises, economic issues resulting in high inflation and spikes in labor costs, extreme or severe weather and climate-related events, and adverse market and political conditions. We monitor our tenants' operating results and the potential impact from these challenges. We may elect to provide support to our tenants from time-to-time in the form of short-term rent deferrals to be paid back in full, or in the form of temporary loans. See below for an update on some of our tenants.

Steward Health Care System

Steward filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 6, 2024 with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. On September 18, 2024, the bankruptcy court approved a global settlement between Steward, its lenders, the unsecured creditors committee, and the Company. The order provided for the following: a) termination of our master lease with Steward; b) the release of claims against 23 of our properties allowing us to begin the process of re-tenanting these properties; and c) a full release of claims against us from all parties. In return, we consented to the sale of the operations and our real estate in three facilities in the Space Coast region of Florida (as discussed earlier), along with a full release of our claims in Steward including claims to past due rent and interest, outstanding loans, and our equity investment.

In regard to our real estate partnership with Macquarie that owned and leased eight properties in Massachusetts to Steward, the bankruptcy court approved the termination of the master lease with Steward during the 2024 third quarter. We and Macquarie entered into an agreement with the mortgage lender of the joint venture to transition the eight properties to them along with cash proceeds of approximately $40 million (representing our share), in return for full payment of the underlying mortgage debt and a release of claims against each party.

With this global settlement and termination of the joint venture master lease, our relationship with Steward effectively ended.

Impairment Charges

Due to the events discussed above, we recorded various impairment charges during 2024 and 2023, which included the following (in millions):

For our non-real estate investments in Steward, we compared our carrying value of all such investments to the fair value of the underlying collateral, which had no value after the global settlement and our release of claims against Steward as discussed above.
(2)
The three Space Coast properties and certain excess properties previously leased to Steward were deemed held for sale in the 2024 third quarter. We recognized a real estate impairment charge of approximately $180 million to adjust our net book value to align with fair value less cost to sell based on expected proceeds, including from a binding agreement for the Space Coast properties. For the other real estate held for use, we made a comparison of the projected undiscounted future cash flows with the net book value of each asset. For those properties where the carrying value was deemed not recoverable, we recorded an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value to its estimated fair value. For the real estate in the Massachusetts partnership, there was no fair value as we transitioned those properties to the mortgage lender to satisfy the mortgage debt. For the remaining properties (less than 10 in total in 2024 and 2023), we, along with assistance from a third-party, independent valuation firm, estimated fair value using a combination of cost, market, and income approaches using Level 3 inputs. The cost approach used comparable sales to value the land and cost manuals to value the improvements. The value derived from the market approach was based on sale prices of similar properties. For the income approach, we divided the expected operating income (rent revenue less expenses, if any) from the property by a market capitalization rate (range from 8% to 10%).

In addition with the lease termination discussed above, we fully amortized the related in-place lease intangibles resulting in $149 million of amortization expense in 2024 as reflected in the real estate depreciation and amortization line of our consolidated statements of net income.

Re-tenanting Activity

Subsequent to the release of claims on the 23 properties as part of the global settlement, we reached definitive agreements with six operators (Healthcare Systems of America, Honor Health, Insight Health ("Insight"), Quorum, College Health, and Tenor Health ("Tenor")) to lease 18 of these facilities. These leases included a rent ramp up period. In the 2025 first quarter, cash rents received from these operators were approximately $3.4 million, ramping up to $11 million in the 2025 second quarter, approximately $12 million in the 2025 third quarter, and $26.1 million in the 2025 fourth quarter. Based on these lease contracts (adjusted for the sale of the two properties to College Health in 2025), rent payments are to increase to approximately 79% of contractual rent by second quarter 2026, and 100% of contractual rent starting October 2026. As of December 31, 2025, all of these new operators have paid the rent due under their respective leases, except for cash-basis tenants Insight/Tenor who represent less than 1% of our annual revenues.

As of December 31, 2025, we have provided approximately $140 million in working capital related loans to these operators to assist in the takeover of these operations and the transition of certain services (such as revenue cycle management). These loans are

generally secured by accounts receivables and/or other assets (like personal property). Our maximum loss exposure to these tenants at December 31, 2025 is the loan carrying value along with up to $30 million, which reflects the remaining amount available under the loans.

The remaining five former Steward properties (with a net book value of approximately 4% of our total assets), including two developments (see "Development and Capital Addition Activities" above), are in various stages of being re-tenanted or sold.

Other Activity

During 2024, we received and recorded rent and interest revenue from Steward of $40 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, we were benefited from rent paid by Steward to the Massachusetts joint venture of $76 million ($38 million representing our share) for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Prospect

In August 2019, we invested in a portfolio of 14 acute care hospitals in three states (California, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut) operated by and master leased to or mortgaged by Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. ("Prospect") for a combined investment of approximately $1.6 billion.

On May 23, 2023, Prospect completed a recapitalization plan, which included receiving $375 million in new financing from several lenders. Along with this new capital from third-party lenders, we agreed to the following restructuring of our then $1.7 billion investment including: a) maintaining the master lease covering six California hospitals without any changes in rental rates or escalator provisions, b) transitioning the Pennsylvania properties back to Prospect in return for a $150 million first lien mortgage, c) providing up to $75 million in a loan secured by a first lien on Prospect's accounts receivable and certain other assets, and d) obtaining a non-controlling ownership interest in PHP Holdings in exchange for unpaid rent and interest, among other things.

Prospect filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on January 11, 2025 with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. On March 20, 2025, the bankruptcy court approved a global settlement (including a recovery waterfall) between us, Prospect, and other stakeholders. Due to the bankruptcy, we recorded more than $400 million of impairment charges and negative fair value adjustments associated with our investments in Prospect in the 2024 fourth quarter, resulting in a full reserve of the asset-backed loan and our Pennsylvania mortgage loan, along with a decrease in the value in our Connecticut properties. No charge was recorded on our California properties. In determining the impairment charges needed for these investments, we compared the carrying value of each investment to the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell and factored in the priority of claims associated with the bankruptcy. In estimating the fair value of real estate, we, along with assistance from a third-party independent valuation firm, used a combination of cost, market, and income approaches using Level 3 inputs. The cost approach used comparable sales to value the land and cost manuals to value the improvements. The value derived from the market approach was based on sales prices of similar properties. For the income approach, we divided the expected operating income from the property by an estimated market capitalization rate (ranging from 8.25% to 8.5%).

In 2025 and in accordance with the global settlement and the estimated recovery waterfall, we recorded approximately $140 million of additional impairment charges. In determining the 2025 impairment charges, we compared the carrying value of our investments to our current estimate of expected proceeds (net of any possible future cash outlays) to be received under the bankruptcy court approved recovery waterfall, factoring in an estimated recovery of Prospect assets (including our real estate assets as applicable) and applying the priority of claims associated with the bankruptcy. In estimating the fair value of the California, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut real estate, we applied the same approach as discussed above for the 2024 impairment charges, except we used bids received for valuing the Pennsylvania and Connecticut properties in the third and fourth quarters of 2025.

At December 31, 2025, our investment in Prospect is approximately $61 million with recoveries limited to collection of Connecticut accounts receivable and minor proceeds from remaining asset sales. Prospect's bankruptcy proceedings are continuing, and the ultimate outcome of such proceedings is uncertain. At this time, we cannot assure you that we will be able to recover our remaining investment in full as of December 31, 2025.

Possible Additional Funding

In 2025, the bankruptcy court approved an order for up to $70 million in additional advances which we may be required to fund. This possible loan advance is conditioned on other events occurring including the sale of the last Connecticut facility and the bankruptcy plan becoming effective. Any funds advanced are expected to be secured by recoveries, if any, from causes of action owned by the debtor. At this time, we cannot predict with full certainty as to the amount or timing of such recoveries from these causes of action.

Re-tenanting Activity

In December 2025, we re-leased the six California properties to NOR as a result of their successful bid to acquire the hospital operations. Terms of the lease include an initial annualized rent almost identical to the previous rent amount due from Prospect in 2025, annual inflation-based escalators starting in the 2027 first quarter, and an initial fixed term of 15 years. All rent is to be deferred for six months, and 50% of rent is to be deferred for an additional six months, after which the aggregate deferred rent will be paid over the remaining lease term. We have committed to fund up to $60 million in seismic improvements that may be required by California regulators over the next four years, which will increase the lease base and result in additional rent.

PHP Investment

In regard to our investment in PHP Holdings, we accounted for this investment using the fair value option method. Each quarter, we marked such investment to fair value as more fully described in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. In 2025, we recorded an approximate $147 million negative fair value adjustment, whereas this adjustment was approximately $550 million in 2024. The adjustment in 2025 was made based on changes to the purchase agreement between PHP Holdings and Astrana Health and updates to PHP Holdings' working capital position. On July 1, 2025, we received $2.3 million from the sale of PHP Holdings to Astrana Health.

International Joint Venture

We placed our loan to the international joint venture on the cash basis of accounting in 2023, as we determined that it was no longer probable that the borrower would pay its future interest in full. This loan, accounted for under the fair value option method, was collateralized by the equity of Steward held by an investor in both Steward and the international joint venture. Consistent with the discussion above on non-real estate investments in Steward, we recorded a $225 million unfavorable fair value adjustment in the 2024 first quarter to fully reserve for the loan and related equity investment. These investments, which are included in “Investments in unconsolidated operating entities” on our consolidated balance sheets, were adjusted for after comparing our carrying value to an updated fair value analysis of the underlying collateral, with assistance from a third-party, independent valuation firm.

CommonSpirit

On May 1, 2023, Catholic Health Initiatives Colorado ("CHIC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CommonSpirit, acquired the Utah hospital operations of five general acute care facilities previously operated by Steward. The new lease, at the time, for these Utah assets had an initial fixed term of 15 years with annual escalation provisions. As part of this transaction, we severed these facilities from the master lease with Steward, and accordingly accelerated the amortization of the associated in-place lease intangibles (approximately $286 million) and wrote-off approximately $95 million of straight-line rent receivables related to the former lease. As described earlier, these five properties make up the Utah Transaction.

Vibra

In the 2023 third quarter, we moved to cash basis of accounting for Vibra due to declines in operating results. As a result, we recorded a $49 million charge to reserve billed and straight-line rent receivables. During the 2024 third quarter, we terminated the lease with this tenant, resulting in the acceleration of lease intangible amortization of $22 million. On December 31, 2024, we entered into a forbearance and restructuring agreement with the former tenant, which was later amended. The substantive terms of the forbearance and restructuring agreement included, among other things, the repayment of $10 million of unpaid rent in cash, which we received on December 31, 2024 and recognized as revenue; Vibra's acquisition of certain of our facilities, one of which closed in early January 2025 for approximately $3 million (and we received payment in full); and entering into a new lease agreement.

In the 2025 fourth quarter, we completed the restructuring of our relationship with Vibra including entering into a new 20-year master lease agreement with annual inflation escalators covering several properties; the acquisition by us of one post-acute property for $32 million that was joined to the master lease with Vibra; the transition of one post-acute property with a net book value of approximately $53 million to a new tenant (joint venture with Select Medical) that is subject to a 20-year master lease agreement with annual inflation escalators; the cash receipt of approximately $18 million for past rent obligations that we recognized as revenue; and the sale of one post-acute property to Vibra for $12 million at a small gain in February 2026, proceeds of which we had previously received in advance of such sale. We are continuing to account for revenue associated from Vibra on a cash basis at this time.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

Our primary business strategy is to acquire real estate and lease to providers of healthcare services. Typically, we directly own 100% of such investments. However, from time-to-time, we will co-invest with other investors that share a similar view that hospital

real estate is a necessary infrastructure-type asset in communities. In these types of investments, we will own undivided interests of less than 100% of the real estate through unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. The underlying real estate and leases in these unconsolidated real estate joint ventures are generally structured similarly and carry a similar risk profile to the rest of our real estate portfolio.

The increase in the Swiss Medical Network real estate joint venture is due to the new investment made in 2025 as described earlier in this same Note 3 along with the impact from foreign currency changes.

For our unconsolidated real estate joint venture that leases more than 70 healthcare facilities to MEDIAN, we, along with our joint venture partner, finalized a refinancing of the €655 million secured debt on June 17, 2025, that was due on June 30, 2025. The new €702.5 million non-recourse, 10-year non-amortizing secured debt has an approximately 5.1% fixed rate, and the majority of the proceeds were used to fund the repayment of the prior €655 million secured loan that carried a lower rate. In the 2025 third quarter, Germany enacted legislation that will reduce future income tax rates by 5%, which resulted in a $13 million (our share) deferred income tax benefit in the period.

The Utah partnership applies specialized accounting and reporting for investment companies under Topic 946, which measures the underlying investments at fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2025, our share of the Utah partnership's income included a favorable fair value adjustment of approximately $49 million, primarily related to an unrealized gain on investments in real estate.

 

For 2025 and 2024, we received $62 million and $45 million, respectively, in dividends from these real estate joint ventures.

Investments in Unconsolidated Operating Entities

Our investments in unconsolidated operating entities are noncontrolling investments that are typically made in conjunction with larger real estate transactions in which the operators are vetted as part of our overall underwriting process. In many cases, we would

not be able to acquire the larger real estate portfolio without such investments in operators. These investments also offer the opportunity to enhance our overall return and provide for certain minority rights and protections.

For our investments marked to fair value (including our investments in PHP Holdings (through the 2025 third quarter), Aevis, and the international joint venture), we recorded approximately $154 million of unfavorable non-cash fair value adjustments during 2025; whereas, this was an approximately $794 million of unfavorable non-cash fair value adjustments during 2024. The amount recorded in 2025 and included in "Other (including fair value adjustments on securities)" line of our consolidated statements of net income was primarily related to our investment in PHP Holdings, which was sold on July 1, 2025. The amount recorded in 2024 includes an approximate $550 million unfavorable fair market value adjustment to our investment in PHP Holdings - see "Prospect" subheading of this Note 3 for more information. In addition, we recorded a $225 million unfavorable fair value adjustment in the 2024 first quarter related to our international joint venture investments as described in Note 3 and included in the "Real estate and other impairment charges, net" line of the consolidated statements of net income.

In the first quarter of 2024, we sold our interest in the Priory syndicated term loan for £90 million (approximately $115 million), resulting in an approximate £6 million ($7.8 million) economic loss.

Other Investment Activities

In the third quarter of 2023, we invested approximately $105 million for a participation in Steward's syndicated asset-backed credit facility, and we loaned an additional $40 million. On August 17, 2023, we sold the $105 million interest to a global asset manager for approximately $100 million, and Steward paid approximately $2 million on November 3, 2023. The remainder was written off as part of the loan impairment charge in 2024 as discussed in the "Leasing Operations (Lessor)" section of this same Note 3.

In the second quarter of 2023, we received repayment of the CHF 60 million mortgage loan from Infracore that was originally made in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Concentrations of Credit Risks

We monitor concentration risk in several ways due to the nature of our real estate assets that are vital to the communities in which they are located and given our history of being able to replace inefficient operators of our facilities, if needed, with more effective operators.

For geographic and facility type concentration metrics in the tables above, we allocate our investments in unconsolidated operating entities pro rata based on the gross book value of the real estate. Such pro rata allocations are subject to change from period to period.

On an individual property basis, our largest investment in any single property was less than 2% of our total assets as of December 31, 2025.

On a revenue basis, concentration for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the two prior years is as follows:

Related Party Transactions

Revenues earned from tenants and real estate joint ventures in which we had an equity interest (accounted for under either the equity or fair value option methods) during the year were $23.7 million, $33.9 million, and $83.0 million for 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
