2022
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges.
2021
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized an aggregate impairment charge of $22 million, which is reported in impairments and loan loss reserves (recoveries), net, related to: (i) three MOBs that met the held for sale criteria during the year and (ii) one MOB held for use; the aggregate fair value of these four MOBs was $14 million as of the related impairment assessment dates. For the three MOBs that met the held for sale criteria during the year, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $5 million to write down the properties’ aggregate carrying value to their aggregate fair value, less estimated costs to sell. For the MOB held for use, the Company recognized a $17 million impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to the demolition of the MOB for a future development project.
Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $4 million related to one SHOP asset, which is reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations. Following a reduction in the expected sales price of the SHOP asset occurring in the second quarter of 2021, the Company wrote down its carrying value of $20 million to its fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of $16 million.
The fair values of the impaired assets were based on forecasted sales prices and market comparable data, which are considered to be Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. These fair values are typically determined using an income approach and/or a market approach (comparable sales model), which rely on certain assumptions by management, including: (i) market capitalization rates, (ii) comparable market transactions, (iii) estimated prices per unit, (iv) negotiations with prospective buyers, and (v) forecasted cash flow streams (primarily lease revenue rates, expense rates, and growth rates). There are inherent uncertainties in making these assumptions. For the Company’s impairment calculations during and as of the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s fair value estimates primarily relied on a market approach, which utilized comparable market transactions and negotiations with prospective buyers.
2020
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $15 million related to one life science facility due to its intent to demolish the facility for a future development project.
Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an aggregate impairment charge of $210 million ($201 million of which is reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations) related to 42 SHOP assets, 5 senior housing triple-net assets, 5 MOBs, and 1 undeveloped MOB land parcel as a result of being classified as held for sale and wrote down their aggregate carrying value of $960 million to their aggregate fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of $750 million.
For the Company’s impairment calculations during and as of the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s fair value estimates primarily relied on a market approach and utilized prices per unit ranging from $13,000 to $300,000, with a weighted average price per unit of $164,000. When utilizing the income approach, assumptions include, but are not limited to, terminal capitalization rates ranging from 5.5% to 7.5% and discount rates ranging from 8.0% to 9.5%. The fair values of the assets are considered to be Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
Goodwill Impairment
When testing goodwill for impairment, if the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.
In connection with the disposition of the Company’s remaining senior housing triple-net and SHOP assets, the Company performed impairment assessments during the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result of these assessments, the Company recognized a $29 million goodwill impairment charge reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations, comprised of the following: (i) a $7 million goodwill impairment charge recognized during the second quarter of 2021, as the fair value of the remaining senior housing triple-net assets (based on forecasted sales prices) was less than the carrying value of the assets, including the related goodwill as of the assessment date and (ii) a $22 million goodwill impairment charge recognized during the third quarter of 2021 to reduce the associated goodwill balance to zero following the sale of the remaining assets within the reporting units associated with the senior housing triple-net and SHOP portfolios.
During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the fair value of the assets within each of the Company’s other reporting units was greater than the respective carrying value of the assets and related goodwill, and as a result, no impairment charges were recognized with respect to the other reporting units.
These fair value estimates primarily relied on a market approach, utilizing comparable market transactions, forecasted sales prices, and negotiations with prospective buyers. These estimates are considered to be Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy, and are subject to inherent uncertainties.
Casualty-Related Charges
During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company recognized $6 million, $5 million, and $0.5 million, respectively, of net casualty-related charges. During the year ended December 31, 2022, such charges were primarily attributable to damages as a result of Hurricane Ian. During the year ended December 31, 2021, such charges were primarily due to fire damage at one of the properties in the SWF SH JV and winter storm Uri. Casualty-related charges are recognized in other income (expense), net and equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other Losses
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized $14 million of expenses for tenant relocation and other costs associated with the demolition of an MOB. These expenses are included in other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.
