Explanatory Note
This Quarterly Reportquarterly report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) for the quarter ended September 30, 20172021, of Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (“HTA”), a Maryland corporation, and Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP (“HTALP”), a Delaware limited partnership. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this Quarterly Report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” or “our Company” refer to HTA and HTALP, collectively, and all references to “common stock” shall refer to the Class A common stock of HTA.
HTA operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and is the general partner of HTALP. As of September 30, 2017,2021, HTA owned a 98.0%97.9% partnership interest in HTALP, and other limited partners, including some of HTA’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates, owned the remaining partnership interest (including the long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP” Units)) in HTALP. As the sole general partner of HTALP, HTA has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for HTALP’s day-to-day management and control, including its compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filing requirements.
We believe it is important to understand the few differences between HTA and HTALP in the context of how we operate as an integrated consolidated company. HTA operates as an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which HTALP and its subsidiaries hold substantially all of the assets. HTA’s only material asset is its ownership of partnership interestsunits of HTALP. As a result, HTA does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of HTALP, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debts of HTALP. HTALP conducts the operations of the business and issues publicly-traded debt, but has no publicly-traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by HTA, which are generally contributed to HTALP in exchange for partnership units of HTALP, HTALP generates the capital required for the business through its operations and by direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of its partnership units (“OP Units”).
NoncontrollingNon-controlling interests, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the primary areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of HTA and HTALP. Limited partnership units in HTALP are accounted for as partners’ capital in HTALP’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and as noncontrollinga non-controlling interest reflected within equity in HTA’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The differences between HTA’s stockholders’ equity and HTALP’s partners’ capital are due to the differences in the equity issued by HTA and HTALP, respectively.
We believe combining the Quarterly Reports of HTA and HTALP, including the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, into this single Quarterly Report results in the following benefits:
enhances stockholders’ understanding of HTA and HTALP by enabling stockholders to view the business as a whole in the same manner that management views and operates the business;
eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure in this Quarterly Report applies to both HTA and HTALP; and
creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of a single combined Quarterly Report instead of two separate Quarterly Reports.
In order to highlight the material differences between HTA and HTALP, this Quarterly Report includes sections that separately present and discuss areas that are materially different between HTA and HTALP, including:
the condensed consolidated financial statements;
certain accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, including Note 78 - Debt,, Note 1011 - Stockholders’ Equity and Partners’ Capital,, Note 1213 - Per Share Data of HTA, and Note 1314 - Per Unit Data of HTALP;
as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), the Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Normalized FFO in Part 1, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report;
the Controls and Procedures in Part 1, Item 4 of this Quarterly Report; and
the Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer included as Exhibits 31 and 32 to this Quarterly Report.
In the sections of this Quarterly Report that combine disclosure for HTA and HTALP, this Quarterly Report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although HTALP (directly or indirectly through one of its subsidiaries) is generally the entity that enters into contracts, holds assets and issues or incurs debt, management believes this presentation is appropriate for the reasons set forth above and because the business of the Company is a single integrated enterprise operated through HTALP.

1. Organization and Description of Business
HTA, a Maryland corporation, and HTALP, a Delaware limited partnership, were incorporated or formed, as applicable, on April 20, 2006.2006. HTA operates as a REIT and is the general partner of HTALP, which is the operating partnership. As of September 30, 2017, HTA owned a 98.0% partnership, interest and other limited partners, including some of our directors, executive officers and their affiliates, owned the remaining partnership interest (including the LTIP Units) in HTALP. As the sole general partner of HTALP, HTA has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for HTALP’s day-to-day management and control. HTA operates in an umbrella partnership, or “UPREIT” structure. HTA has qualified and intends to continue to be taxed as a REIT structure in which HTALP and its subsidiaries hold substantially allfor federal income tax purposes under the applicable sections of the assets. HTA’s only material asset is its ownershipInternal Revenue Code.
We own real estate primarily consisting of partnership interests of HTALP. As a result, HTA does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of HTALP, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debts of HTALP. HTALP conducts the operations of the business and issues publicly-traded debt, but has no publicly-traded equity.
HTA is the largest publicly-traded REIT focused on medical office buildings (“MOBs”) in the U.S. as measured by the gross leasable area (“GLA”) of our MOBs. HTA conducts substantially all of its operations through HTALP. We invest in MOBs that we believe will serve the future of healthcare delivery, and MOBs that are primarily located on health systemor adjacent to hospital campuses near university medical centers, or in off-campus, community core community outpatient locations. We also focus onlocations across 32 states within the United States, and we lease space to tenants primarily consisting of health systems, research and academic institutions, and various sized physician practices.  Through our key markets that have certain demographicfull-service operating platform, we provide leasing, asset management, acquisitions, development and macro-economic trends and where we can utilizeother related services for our institutional property management and leasing platform to generate strong tenant relationships and operating cost efficiencies. properties.
Our primary objective is to maximize stockholder value with disciplined growth through strategic investments that provide an attractive risk-adjusted return for our stockholders by consistently increasing our cash flow. In pursuing this objective, we: (i) seek internal growth through proactive asset management, leasing, building services and property management oversight; (ii) target accretive acquisitions and developments of MOBs in markets with attractive demographics that complement our existing portfolio; and (iii) actively manage our balance sheet to maintain flexibility with conservative leverage. Additionally, from time to time we consider, on an opportunistic basis, significant portfolio acquisitions that we believe fit our core business and couldwe expect to enhance our existing portfolio. HTA has qualified
COVID-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020 the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. As the virus continued to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposesspread throughout the United States and intendsother countries across the world, Federal, state and local governments took various actions including the issuance of “stay-at-home” orders, social distancing guidelines and ordering the temporary closure of non-essential businesses to limit the spread of COVID-19. While many businesses have reopened and vaccinations are becoming more widely available to the general population, the economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be taxed as a REIT.
Since 2006,present risks to the Company and the future results of our operations. Although we have invested $7.0 billion to create a portfoliodid not experience significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, should current and planned measures, including further development and delivery of MOBsvaccines and other healthcare assets consistingmeasures intended to reduce or eliminate the spread of approximately 24.2 million square feetCOVID-19, past and/or proposed economic stimulus, and other laws, acts and orders proposed or enacted by these various governmental agencies ultimately not be successful or limited in their efficacy, our business and the broader real estate industry may experience significant adverse consequences. These consequences include loss of GLA throughout the U.S. Asrevenues, increased expenses, increased costs of September 30, 2017,materials, difficulty in maintaining an active workforce, and constraints on our portfolio included $2.24 billion of investments, net of development credits received at closing, in connection with our acquisition of the Duke MOB business (the “Duke Acquisition”), which includes a 50% ownership interest in an unconsolidated joint venture for $68.8 million as of the date of acquisition. Our only remaining obligations relatedability to the Duke Acquisition are the potential acquisition of a land parcel in Miami, FL and a single property in Texas that are each currently excluded from our purchase obligations due to current outstanding physical condition issues.secure capital or financing, among other factors.
As of September 30, 2017, approximately 96% of our portfolio, based on GLA, was located on the campuses of, or aligned with, nationally or regionally recognized healthcare systems. Our portfolio is diversified geographically across 33 states, with no state having more than 19% of our total GLA as of September 30, 2017. We are concentrated in 20 to 25 key markets that are experiencing higher economic and demographic trends than other markets, on average, that we expect will drive demand for MOBs. Approximately 92% of our portfolio, based on GLA, is located in the top 75 metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”) with Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston and Tampa being our largest markets by investment.
Our principal executive office is located at 16435 North Scottsdale Road, Suite 320, Scottsdale, Arizona, 85254.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Interim Unaudited Financial Data
Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with GAAP in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; such results may be less favorable for the full year. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 20162020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries and consolidated joint venture arrangements. The portions of the HTALP operating partnership not owned by us are presented as non-controlling interests in ouron the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, or loss,and condensed consolidated statements of equity and consolidated statements of changes in partners’ capital. The portions of other joint venture arrangements not owned by us are presented as redeemable non-controlling interests in our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, as described in Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business, certain third parties have been issued OP Units in HTALP. Holders of OP Units are considered to be noncontrollingnon-controlling interest holders in HTALP and their ownership interests are reflected as equity inon the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Further, a portion of the earnings and losses of HTALP are allocated to noncontrollingnon-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, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, there were approximately 4.14.7 million and 4.33.5 million, respectively, of OP Units issued and outstanding.outstanding held by non-controlling interest holders.
VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors, as a group, lack one of the following: (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity; and (iii) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. We consolidate our investment in VIEs when we determine that we are the primary beneficiary. A primary beneficiary is one that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. The HTALP operating partnership and our other joint venture arrangements are VIEs because the limited partners in those partnerships, although entitled to vote on certain matters, do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Additionally, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of our VIEs. Accordingly, we consolidate our interests in the HTALP operating partnership and in our other joint venture arrangements. However, because we hold what is deemed a majority voting interest in the HTALP operating partnership and our other joint venture arrangements, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs.
In addition, from time to time, the Company acquires properties using a like-kind exchange structure pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (a “1031 exchange”) and, as such, the proceeds from a property or portfolio disposition are in the possession of an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (“EAT”) until the 1031 exchange is completed. The EAT is classified as a VIE as it is a “thinly capitalized” entity. The Company consolidates the EAT because we are the primary beneficiary as we have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the EAT’s economic performance and can close out the 1031 exchange structure at any time. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had 1 such entity where the 1031 exchange had not completed. We will evaluate on an ongoing basis the need to consolidate entities based on the standards set forth in GAAP as described above.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities. These estimates are made and evaluated on an ongoing basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates, perhaps in adverse ways, and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Restricted cash is typically comprised of: (i) reserve accounts for property taxes, insurance, capital and tenant improvements; (ii) collateral accounts for debt and interest rate swaps; (iii) 1031 exchange funds; and (iv) deposits for future investments.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets to the combined amounts shown on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):
September 30,
20212020
Cash and cash equivalents$12,836 $227,138 
Restricted cash6,628 4,108 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$19,464 $231,246 
Revenue Recognition
Minimum annual rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease (including rent holidays). Differences between rental income recognized and amounts contractually due under the lease agreements are recorded as straight-line rent receivables. Tenant reimbursements, which is comprised of additional amounts recoverable from tenants for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other certain operating expenses are recognized as revenue on a gross basis in the period in which the related recoverable expenses are incurred.  We accrue revenue corresponding to these expenses on a quarterly basis to adjust recorded amounts to our best estimate of the final annual amounts to be billed. Subsequent to year-end, on a calendar year basis, we perform reconciliations on a lease-by-lease basis and bill or credit each tenant for any differences between the estimated expenses we billed and the actual expenses that were incurred. We recognize lease termination fees when there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, and the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Rental income is reported net of amortization of inducements.
The revenue recognition process is based on a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers as outlined in Topic 606. We 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. We have identified all of our revenue streams and we have concluded that rental income from leasing arrangements represents a substantial portion of our revenue and is governed and evaluated with the adoption of Topic 842.
Investments in Real Estate
Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $62.0 million and $59.2 million, respectively. Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $183.8 million and $176.4 million, respectively.
Leases
As a lessor, we lease space in our MOBs primarily to medical enterprises for terms generally ranging from three to seven years in length. The assets underlying these leases consist of buildings and associated land which are included as real estate investments on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. All of our leases for which we are the lessor are classified as operating leases under Topic 842.
Leases, for which we are the lessee, are classified as separate components on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating leases are included as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets - operating leases, net, with a corresponding lease liability. Financing lease assets are included in receivables and other assets, net, with a corresponding lease liability in security deposits, prepaid rent and other liabilities. A lease liability is recognized for our obligation related to the lease and an ROU asset represents our right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. Refer to Note 7 - Leases in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail relating to our leases.
Through the duration of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, changes to our leases as a result of COVID-19 have been in two categories. Leases are categorized based upon the impact of the modification on its cash flows. One category is rent deferrals for which the guidance provided by the Lease Modification Q&A issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in April 2020 was utilized, which provided relief from requiring a lease by lease analysis pursuant to Topic 842. These deferrals are generally for up to three months of rent with a payback period from three to twelve months once the deferral period has ended. Deferrals do not have an impact on cash flows over the lease term, rather, payments are made in different periods while the cash flows for the entirety of the lease term are the same. However, we have continued to recognize revenue and straight line revenue for amounts subject to deferral agreements in accordance with Topic 842. In 2020, which is the period that we believe constituted the majority of our COVID-related deferral requests, we approved deferral plans totaling approximately $11.1 million, of which approximately $10.8 million have been repaid through September 30, 2021.

The second category is early renewals, where the Company renewed lease arrangements prior to their contractual expirations, providing concessions at the commencement of the lease in exchange for additional term, which additional term averages approximately three years. This category is treated as a modification under Topic 842, with the existing balance of the cumulative difference between rental income and payment amounts (existing straight line rent receivable) being recast over the new term, factoring in any changes attributable to the new lease arrangement and for which we performed a lease by lease analysis. Cash flows are impacted over the long term as customary free rent, at an average of three months in conjunction with these agreements, and is offset by more term and/or increased rental rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has entered into very few new deferral arrangements or early renewal leases with substantive amounts of free rent or other forms of concessions at the onset of the lease term.
The Lease Modification Q&A had no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, however, its future impact to us is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by us at the time of entering into any such concessions.

Real Estate Held for Sale
We consider properties held for sale once management commits to a plan to sell the property and has determined that the sale is probable and expected to occur within one year. Upon classification as held for sale, we record the property at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell, and cease depreciation and amortization. The fair value is generally based on a discounted cash flow analysis, which involves management's best estimate of market participants' holding periods, market comparables, future occupancy levels, rental rates, capitalization rates, lease-up periods and capital requirements. As of September 30, 2021 we classified a single-tenant MOB located in the greater Atlanta, Georgia market as real estate held for sale on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no properties classified as held for sale. The following table represents the major classes of assets and liabilities, and the balance sheet classification as of September 30, 2021 (in thousands):

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 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. Pursuant to Topic 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, we adopted a policy to evaluate current expected credit losses at the inception of loans qualifying for treatment under Topic 326. We utilize a probability of default method approach for estimating current expected credit losses and have determined that the current risk of credit loss is remote. Accordingly, we have recorded no reserve for credit loss as of September 30, 2021.
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operational policy decisions of the investments. Using the equity method of accounting, the initial investment is recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of the net income or loss and any distributions from the joint venture. As of September 30, 2017,2021 and December 31, 2020, we had a 50% interest in one such investment with a carrying value and maximum exposure to risk of $68.3$63.2 million and $64.4 million, respectively, which is recorded in investment in unconsolidated joint venture inon the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We record our share of net income (loss) in income (loss) from unconsolidated joint venture in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized income of $318,000 and $381,000, respectively, from our unconsolidated joint venture.
Investments in Real Estate
Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $49.8 million and $31.1 million, respectively. Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $121.5 million and $86.6 million, respectively.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
S-X Rule 13-01
In March 2020, the SEC adopted amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X and created Rule 13-01 to simplify disclosure requirements related to certain registered securities. The following tablerule became effective on January 4, 2021, at which time we adopted S-X Rule 13-01. The adoption did not have a material effect on our financial statements and related footnotes.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which amends the scope of ASU 2020-04. The amendments of ASU 2021-01 clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions to Topic 848 for contract modification and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. For information related to the Company's current cash flow hedges, refer to Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities. The amendments are elective and effective immediately for contract modifications made through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating how the transition away from LIBOR will effect the Company and if the guidance with respect to this standard will be adopted, however, if adopted, we do not expect that this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842): Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments
In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, which amends the lease classification requirements for lessors when classifying and accounting for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate. The update provides criteria, that if met, the lease would be classified and accounted for as an operating lease. The update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. At this time, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a brief description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements:

Business Combinations:
Clarifying the Definition of a Business
(Issued January 2017)
ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation.ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.We adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. We expect that the majority of our future investments in real estate will be accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASU 2017-01. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 will impact how we account for acquisition-related expenses and contingent consideration, which may result in lower acquisition-related expenses and eliminate fair value adjustments related to future contingent consideration arrangements.
The following table provides a brief description of recently issued accounting pronouncements:

ASU 2014-09
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Issued May 2014)
ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new five-step model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (i.e., payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding revenue recognition will be required for contracts that are subject to ASU 2014-09. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach.

In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 along with the right of early adoption as of the original effective date.

We have identified all of our revenue streams and concluded rental income from leasing arrangements represents a substantial portion of our revenue and is specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09 and will be governed and evaluated with the anticipated adoption of ASU 2016-02 as described below. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, ASU 2014-09 may apply to executory costs and other components of revenue due under leases that are deemed to be non-lease components (such as common area maintenance and other reimbursement revenue), even when the revenue for such activities is not separately stipulated in the lease. In that case, the revenue from these items previously recognized on a straight-line basis under the current lease guidance would be recognized under the new revenue guidance as the related services are delivered. As a result, while total revenue recognized over time would not differ under the new guidance, the recognition pattern would be different. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue recognition for real estate sales is largely based on the transfer of control versus continuing involvement under the current guidance. Upon adoption, there will not be a material impact on our consolidated financial statements since we have historically disposed of the majority of our properties with no future controls or contingencies. We will adopt ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.
ASU 2016-02
Leases
(Issued February 2016)
ASU 2016-02 will supersede the existing guidance for lease accounting and states that companies will be required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand the nature of the entity’s leasing activities, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. Within ASU 2016-02 lessor accounting remained fairly unchanged. In adopting ASU 2016-02, companies will be required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements.
ASU 2016-02 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted.
We are still evaluating the full impact of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements, however, we will adopt ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019 and anticipate that we will elect a practical expedient offered in ASU 2016-02 that allows an entity to not reassess the following upon adoption (elected as a group): (i) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease arrangement; (ii) lease classification related to expired or existing lease arrangements; or (iii) whether costs incurred on expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs. As a result of the adoption, all new or amended leases for which we are the lessee, including corporate and ground leases, that are entered into on or after January 1, 2019, will be recorded on our consolidated financial statements as either financing leases or operating leases with a related right of use asset and lease liability. In addition, we expect that certain executory and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, will need to be accounted for separately from the lease component of the lease. Lease components will continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and certain non-lease components will be accounted for under the new revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09 as mentioned above.

Financial Instruments Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
(Issued June 2016)
ASU 2016-13 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring more timely recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other such commitments. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial statement assets measured at an amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis.
ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted.
We do not anticipate early adoption or there to be a material impact, however, we are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-15
Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
(Issued August 2016)
ASU 2016-15 clarifies the guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to: (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (vi) distributions received from equity method investees; (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle.ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.
We will adopt ASU 2016-15 during the fourth quarter of 2017 and apply the standard retrospectively for all periods presented. We will reclass cash payments related to debt prepayment and extinguishment costs from operating activities to financing activities. Based on our initial assessment the other listed provisions will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related notes resulting from the adoption of this standard.
ASU 2016-18
Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash
(Issued November 2016)
ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.
ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.
We will adopt ASU 2016-18 during the fourth quarter of 2017 and apply the standard retrospectively for all periods presented. Restricted cash and escrow deposits consist primarily of cash escrowed for real estate acquisitions, real estate taxes, property insurance and capital improvements. We will provide a reconciliation of the changes in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and escrow deposits within our consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statement of cash flows.
ASU 2017-05
Other Income: Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets
(Issued February 2017)
ASU 2017-05 defines an in-substance nonfinancial asset, unifies guidance related to partial sales of nonfinancial assets, eliminates rules specifically addressing the sales of real estate, removes exception to the financial asset derecognition model and clarifies the accounting for contributions of nonfinancial assets to joint ventures.ASU 2017-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.We will adopt ASU 2017-05 as of January 1, 2018. We do not anticipate there to be a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, as we currently do not have this type of income. However, going forward we will continue to monitor any future impact.

Debt Covenants
We are required by the terms of our applicable loan agreements to meet various affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for these types of facilities, such as limitations on the incurrence of debt by us and our subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets, limitations on the nature of HTALP’s business, and limitations on distributions by HTALP and its subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets. Our loan agreements also impose various financial covenants on us, such as a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a minimum tangible net worth covenant, a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value, rent coverage ratios and a minimum ratio of unencumbered net operating incomeNet Operating Income to unsecured interest expense. As of September 30, 2017,2021, we believe that we were in compliance with all such financial covenants and reporting requirements. In addition, certain of our loan agreements include events of default provisions that we believe are customary for these types of facilities, including restricting us from making dividend distributions to our stockholders in the event we are in default thereunder, except to the extent necessary for us to maintain our REIT status. We have also concluded as of September 30, 2021, that we were not aware of non-compliance with any financial or non-financial covenants in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
8.9. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivative Financial Instruments
We may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. We do not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, we only enter into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial relationships. We do not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. We record counterparty credit risk valuation adjustments on interest rate swap derivative assets in order to properly reflect the credit quality of the counterparty. In addition, ourthe fair value of interest rate swap derivative liabilities isfinancial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are adjusted to reflect the impact of our credit quality.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps and treasury locks as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying notional amount. A treasury lock is a synthetic forward sale of a U.S. treasury note, which is settled in cash based upon the difference between an agreed upon treasury rate and the prevailing treasury rate at settlement. Such treasury locks are entered into to effectively fix the treasury component of an upcoming debt issuance.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded approximately $4,000 and $31,000, respectively, of hedge ineffectiveness in earnings. We designated our derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges in March 2017.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we entered into and settled two treasury locks designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $250.0 million to hedge future fixed rate debt issuances, which fixed the 10-year swap rates at an average rate of 2.26% per annum. Upon settlement of these contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we paid and reported a loss of $0.7 million which was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and a gain of $25,000 which was recorded in the change in fair value of our derivative financial instruments in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable rate debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $0.4$6.6 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as an increase to interest related to derivative financial instruments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features
We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision that if we default on any of our indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.
We also have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that incorporate provisions from our indebtedness with a lender affiliate of the derivative counterparty requiring it to maintain certain minimum financial covenant ratios on our indebtedness. Failure to comply with the covenant provisions would result in us being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by these agreements.
As of September 30, 2017,2021, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, including accrued interest, but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was $1.5$9.6 million. As of September 30, 2017,2021, we have not posted any collateral related to these agreements and we were not in breach of any of the provisions of these agreements. If we had breached any of thesethe provisions of these agreements, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at an aggregate termination value of $1.5 million at September 30, 2017.agreements.

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our interest rate swap derivativescash flow hedges fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with these instruments utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our interest rate swap derivativecash flow hedge positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to their overall valuation. As a result, we have determined that our interest rate swap derivativecash flow hedge valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.For further discussion of the assumptions considered, refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The estimated fair value as of September 30, 2021 for the remaining MOB was based on the purchase price set forth in an executed purchase option, less estimated closing costs.
13. Per Share Data of HTA
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we issued 2.0 million shares of our common stock under our ATM for net proceeds of approximately $53.7 million, adjusted for costs to borrow equating to a net price to us of $26.87 per share of common stock.
Additionally, we have 3 outstanding forward sale arrangements pursuant to forward equity agreements, with total anticipated net proceeds of $218.8 million, based on an average initial forward price of $29.49, subject to adjustments as provided in the forward equity agreements. All 3 of the arrangements have been extended and mature on December 31, 2021.
To account for the forward equity agreements, we considered the accounting guidance governing financial instruments and derivatives and concluded that our forward equity agreements were not liabilities as they did not embody obligations to repurchase our shares of common stock nor did they embody obligations to issue a variable number of shares for which the monetary value was predominately fixed, varying with something other than the fair value of the debt was $2,913.3 million comparedshares, or varying inversely in relation to the carrying value of $2,856.8 million. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of our shares. We also evaluated whether the debt was $1,784.0 million comparedagreements met the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception to be accounted for as equity instruments and concluded that the agreements can be classified as an equity contract based on the following assessment: (i) none of the agreements’ exercise contingencies were based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the carrying valuemarket for our own stock price and operations; and (ii) none of $1,768.9 million.the settlement provisions precluded the agreements from being indexed to our own common stock.
12. Per Share DataIn addition, we considered the potential dilution resulting from the forward equity agreements mentioned above on our earnings per common share calculations. We use the treasury method to determine the dilution resulting from the forward equity agreements during the period of HTAtime prior to settlement. The impact to our weighted-average shares - diluted was anti-dilutive in nature and, thus, approximately 96,000 and 324,000 shares were excluded from the calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the impact to our weighted-average shares - diluted was anti-dilutive in nature and, thus, approximately 1.1 million and 0.8 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation.
We include unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as “participating securities” pursuant to the two-class method. The resulting classes are our common stock and restricted stock. Our forward equity agreements are not considered a participating security and, therefore, are not included in the computation of earnings per share using the two-class method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016,2020, all of our earnings were distributed and the calculated earnings per share amount would be the same for all classes.

Executive Summary
HTA isWe are the largest publicly-traded REIT focused on MOBs in the U.S. as measured by the GLAgross leasable area ("GLA") of itsour MOBs. HTA conductsWe conduct substantially all of itsour operations through HTALP. We invest in MOBs that we believe will serve the future of healthcare delivery and MOBs that are primarily located on health system campuses, near university medical centers, or in core community outpatient locations. We also focus on our key markets that have certain demographic and macro-economic trends and where we can utilize our institutional property management and leasingfull-service operating platform to generate strong tenant and health system relationships and operating cost efficiencies. Our primary objective is to maximize stockholder value with disciplined growth through strategic investments that provide an attractive risk-adjusted return for our stockholders by consistently increasing our cash flow. In pursuing this objective, we: (i) seek internal growth through proactive asset management, leasing, building services and property management oversight; (ii) target accretive acquisitions and developments of MOBs in markets with attractive demographics that complement our existing portfolio; and (iii) actively manage our balance sheet to maintain flexibility with conservative leverage.  Additionally, from time to time we consider, on an opportunistic basis, significant portfolio acquisitions that we believe fit our core business and could enhance our existing portfolio.
Since 2006, we have invested $7.0$7.7 billion to create a portfolio ofprimarily in MOBs, development projects, land and other healthcare real estate assets consisting of approximately 24.225.8 million square feet of GLA throughout the U.S. As of September 30, 2017, our portfolio included $2.24 billion of investments, net of development credits received at closing in connection with our Duke Acquisition, which includes a 50% ownership interest in an unconsolidated joint venture for $68.8 million as of the date of acquisition. Our only remaining obligations related to the Duke Acquisition are the potential acquisition of a land parcel in Miami, FL and a single property in Texas that are each currently excluded from our purchase obligations due to current outstanding physical condition issues.
As of September 30, 2017, approximately 96%Approximately 67% of our portfolio based on GLA, wasis located on the campuses of, or aligned with,adjacent to, nationally orand regionally recognized healthcare systems. Our portfolio is diversified geographically across 3332 states, with no state having more than 19%21% of our total GLA as of September 30, 2017.2021. We are concentrated in 20 to 25 key markets that are generally experiencing higher economic and demographic trends than other markets on average, that we expect will drive demand for MOBs. Approximately 92%As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately 1 million square feet of GLA in ten of our top 20 markets and approximately 94% of our portfolio, based on GLA, is located in the top 75 MSAsMetropolitan Statistical Area ("MSAs"), with Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Boston, Miami and TampaIndianapolis being our largest markets by investment.annualized base rent.

Internal Growth through Proactive Asset Management Leasing and Property Management
We believe we have the largest operating platform in the medical office space that consists of asset management, leasing and in-house property management which allows us to better manage and service our existing portfolio.
As of September 30, 2017, our in-house property management and leasing platform operated approximately 22.2 million square feet of GLA, or 92%, of our total portfolio.
As of September 30, 2017, our leased rate (includes leases which have been executed, but which have not yet commenced) was 91.7% by GLA and our occupancy rate was 90.6% by GLA.
We entered into new and renewal leases on approximately 745,000 square feet of GLA and 2.0 million square feet of GLA, or 3.1% and 8.4%, respectively, of our portfolio, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
Tenant retention for the Same-Property portfolio was 75% and 78%, which included approximately 289,000 square feet of GLA and 1.3 million square feet of GLA of expiring leases, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, which we believe is indicative of our commitment to maintaining buildings in desirable locations and fostering strong tenant relationships. Tenant retention is defined as the sum of the total leased GLA of tenants that renewed a lease during the period over the total GLA of leases that renewed or expired during the period.

During the nine months endedAs of September 30, 2017, we issued and sold $1.7 billion2021, the weighted average remaining term of equity at an average price of $28.70 per share. This consisted of $1.6 billion from the sale of common stock in an underwritten public offering at an average price of $28.50 per share, $125.7 million from the sale of common stock under our previous ATM at an average price of $31.45 per share, and $0.6 million from the issuance of OP Units in connection with an acquisition transaction.

Factors Which May Influence Results of Operations
The novel coronavirus, or COVID-19 pandemic, continues to impact economies and markets worldwide. All our buildings have remained in operation throughout the course of the pandemic. However, we addressed periodic requests from a number of our tenants about their ability to defer payment of a portion of their rents for a limited duration. We evaluated each such request on a case by case basis. In 2020, which is the period that we believe constituted the majority of our COVID-related deferral requests, we approved deferral plans totaling approximately $11.1 million, of which approximately $10.8 million of these deferrals have been repaid through September 30, 2021. There are no material outstanding requests for assistance from tenants. Payments of rent deferrals are generally expected to be repaid within the next 3 to 6 months. As of September 30, 2021, we have not granted unilateral rent forgiveness in connection with our deferral program, however, we may do so in the future if conditions and the specific economics warrant the use of such measures.
In addition, in 2020 we entered into certain lease modifications in the form of early renewals where we provide concessions in the form of free rent, which averaged three months at the inception of the lease, in exchange for additional term, which, averaged approximately three years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we have not entered into any material deferral arrangements or early renewal leases with substantive amounts of free rent or other forms of concession at the onset of the applicable lease as a result of COVID-19. Although we did not experience significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, should current and planned measures, including further development and delivery of vaccines and other measures intended to reduce or eliminate the spread of COVID-19, past and/or proposed economic stimulus, and other laws, acts and orders proposed or enacted by federal, state and local agencies or foreign governments, ultimately not be successful or limited in their efficacy, our business and the broader real estate industry may experience significant adverse consequences. These consequences include loss of revenues, increased expenses, increased costs of materials, difficulty in maintaining an active workforce, and constraints on our ability to secure capital or financing, among other factors.
Other than the above, we are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally and the risk factors previously listeddiscussed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors, in our 20162020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Item 1A. Risk Factors below, that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the investment, management and operation of our properties.
Rental Income
The amount of rental income generated by our properties depends principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space that will become available from unscheduled lease terminations at the then applicable rental rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors, including the ultimate collections of such rents, could adversely affect our rental income in future periods.

The increases were primarily the result of higher average debt outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as a result of partially funding our investments over the last 12 months with debt and a changesame period in the composition of debt, driven by an increase in long-term senior unsecured notes, including the $350.0 million 10-year senior unsecured notes issued in July 2016 at a coupon rate of 3.50% per annum, the $400.0 million and $500.0 million 5-year and 10-year senior unsecured notes issued in June 2017 at a coupon rate of 2.95% per annum and 3.75% per annum, respectively.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, no gain or loss on change in fair value was recorded as we did not have any derivative financial instruments classified as non-designated hedges.

To achieve our objectives, we borrow at both fixed and variable rates. From time to time, we also enter into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative
Impairment
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded impairment charges of $16.8 million on two properties related to: (i) a purchase option included in a lease agreement that was exercised for a contractual sale price less than its carrying value; and are used to manage our exposure to interest rate movements.(ii) an executed sales agreement for a sale price less than its carrying value. We recorded no impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO and Normalized FFO
We compute FFO in accordance with the current standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate property and impairment write-downs of depreciable assets, plus depreciation and amortization related to investments in real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Since FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, among other items, it provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders.
We also compute Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO: (i) transaction expenses; (ii) gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; (iii) non-controlling income or loss from OP Units included in diluted shares (only applicable to the Company); and (iv) other normalizing adjustments, which include items that are unusual and infrequent in nature. Our methodology for calculating Normalized FFO may be different from the methods utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other REITs.
We present this non-GAAP financial measureFFO and Normalized FFO because we consider it anthem important supplemental measuremeasures of our operating performance and believe it isthey are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Historical cost accounting assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen based on market conditions, many industry investors have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, among other items, it provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders.
We also compute Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO: (i) transaction expenses; (ii) gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative financial instruments; (iii) gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) noncontrolling income or loss from OP Units included in diluted shares (only applicable to the Company); and (v) other normalizing items, which include items that are unusual and infrequent in nature. We present this non-GAAP financial measure because it allows for the comparison of our operating performance to other REITs and between periods on a consistent basis. Our methodology for calculating Normalized FFO may be different from the methods utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other REITs. Normalized FFO should not be considered as an alternativealternatives to net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicatorindicators of our financial performance, nor is itare they indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO and Normalized FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
TheIn addition, the amounts included in the calculation of FFO and Normalized FFO are generally the same for HTALP and HTA, except for net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders, noncontrollingnon-controlling income or loss from OP Units included in diluted shares (only applicable to the Company) and the weighted average shares of our common stock or HTALP OP Units outstanding.

NOI, Cash NOI and Same-Property Cash NOI
NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) before: (i) general and administrative expenses; (ii) transaction expenses; (iii) depreciation and amortization expense; (iv) impairment; (v) interest expense and net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments;expense; (vi) gain or loss on sales of real estate; (vii) gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; (viii) income or loss from unconsolidated joint venture; and (ix) other income or expense. We believe that NOI provides an accurate measure of the operating performance of our operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with the management of our properties. Additionally, we believe that NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance of REITs. However, our use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance. NOI should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

40



Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from NOI: (i) straight-line rent adjustments andadjustments; (ii) amortization of below and above market leases/leasehold interests and lease termination fees.other GAAP adjustments; (iii) notes receivable interest income; and (iv) other normalizing adjustments. Contractual base rent, contractual rent increases, contractual rent concessions and changes in occupancy or lease rates upon commencement and expiration of leases are a primary driver of our revenue performance. We believe that Cash NOI, which removes the impact of straight-line rent adjustments, provides another measurement of the operating performance of our operating assets. Additionally, we believe that Cash NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance of REITs. However, our use of the term Cash NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance. Cash NOI should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
To facilitate the comparison of Cash NOI between periods, we calculate comparable amounts for a subset of our owned and operational properties referred to as “Same-Property”. Same-Property Cash NOI excludes (i) properties which have not been owned and operated by us during the entire span of all periods presented excludingand disposed properties, (ii) our share of unconsolidated joint ventures, (iii) development, redevelopment and land parcels, (iv) properties intended for disposition in the near term notes receivable interest incomewhich have (a) been approved by the Board of Directors, (b) is actively marketed for sale, and (c) an offer has been received at prices we would transact and the sales process is ongoing, and (v) certain non-routine items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of cash include: (i) cash flow from operations; (ii) borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility; (iii) net proceeds from the issuances of debt and equity securities; and (iv) proceeds from our dispositions. During the next 12 months our primary uses of cash are expected to include: (a) the funding of acquisitions of MOBs, development properties and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry; (b) capital expenditures; (c) the payment of operating expenses; (d) debt service payments, including principal payments; and (e) the payment of dividends to our stockholders. We anticipate cash flow from operations, restricted cash and reserve accounts and our unsecured revolving credit facility, if needed, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditures and dividends to stockholders. Investments and maturing indebtedness may require funds from borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, the issuance of debt and/or equity securities or proceeds from sales of real estate.
As of September 30, 2017,2021, we had total liquidity of $928.9 million, including $919.5$1.2 billion, inclusive of $950.0 million available underon our unsecured revolving credit facility, (which includes the impact of $5.5$218.8 million of outstanding letters of credit) and $9.4 million ofunsettled forward equity agreements, cash and cash equivalents.equivalents of $12.8 million and $1.7 million of restricted cash for funds held in a 1031 exchange account. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity and opportunities to obtain additional liquidity at our disposal to sustain operations for the foreseeable future.
In addition,On October 6, 2021, we entered into a third amended and restated revolving credit and term loan agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which includes an unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate maximum principal amount of $1.0 billion (the “Revolver”) and a term loan facility in an aggregate maximum principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The Credit Agreement amends and restates, in its entirety, the unsecured credit agreement referenced above, reduces our overall borrowing costs, and extends the maturities of the existing unsecured revolving credit facility to October 31, 2025.
43


As of September 30, 2021, we had unencumbered assets with a gross book value of $6.2$8.0 billion. The unencumbered properties may be used as collateral to secure additional financings in future periods or refinance our current debt as it becomes due. Our ability to raise funds from future debt and equity issuances is dependent on our investment grade credit ratings, general economic and market conditions, and our operating performance.
When we acquire a property, we prepare a capital plan that contemplates the estimated capital needs of that investment. In addition to operating expenses, capital needs may also include costs of refurbishment, tenant improvements or other major capital expenditures. The capital plan for each investment will be adjusted through ongoing, regular reviews of our portfolio or as necessary to respond to unanticipated additional capital needs. As of September 30, 2017, we estimate that ourCapital expenditures for capital improvements for the remainder of 2017the year will range from $10.0be primarily targeted towards planned maintenance activities and other capital improvements that are either of an immediate need to preserve liquidity, or strategically necessary for revenue generation purposes. Currently these expenditures are estimated at approximately $20 million to $15.0$25 million depending on leasing activity. As of September 30, 2017,per quarter. Although we had $2.9 million of restricted cash and reserve accounts for such capital expenditures. We cannot provide assurance however, that we will not exceed these estimated expenditure levels.levels, we believe our liquidity of $1.2 billion allows us the flexibility to fund such capital expenditures as may be necessary or advisable.
If we experience lower occupancy levels, reduced rental rates, reduced revenues as a result of asset sales, or increased capital expenditures and leasing costs compared to historical levels due to competitive market conditions for new and renewal leases, the effect would be a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities. If such a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities is realized, we may have a cash flow deficit in subsequent periods. Our estimate of net cash available is based on various assumptions which are difficult to predict, including the levels of our leasing activity and related leasing costs. Any changes in these assumptions could impact our financial results and our ability to fund working capital and unanticipated cash needs.
Cash Flows
The following is a summary of our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016,2020, respectively (in thousands):

Net cash provided by operating activities increased in 20172021 primarily due to the impact of our 20162020 and 20172021 acquisitions and contractual rent increases, and improved operating efficiencies, partially offset by our 20162020 and 20172021 dispositions. We anticipate cash flows from operating activities to increase as a result of the above itemsgrowth in our portfolio through new acquisitions and continued leasing activity in our existing portfolio.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, net cash used in investing activities primarily related to the investmentinvestments in real estate was $2.4 billion, investment in unconsolidated joint venture was $68.8of $147.3 million, capital expenditures of $78.0 million, advances on real estate notes receivable of $66.5 million, and capital expenditures was $43.0development of real estate of $48.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of real estate of $4.7$67.6 million and collection of real estate notes receivable of $15.4 million.

We anticipate cash flows used in investing activities to increase as we continue to acquire more properties.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, net cash used in financing activities primarily related to dividends paid to holders of our common stock of $210.0 million, distributions paid to non-controlling interest of limited partners of $3.9 million, and the repurchase and cancellation of common stock of $3.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from issuance of common stock of $53.7 million, and by net borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $50.0 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities primarily related to the net proceeds of shares of common stock issued was $1.6 billion and net proceeds on the issuance of senior notes was $900.0 million, partially offset by dividends paid to holders of our common stock of $145.9 million and payments on our secured mortgage loans of $75.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash provided by financing activities primarily related to the net proceeds of shares of common stock issued of $418.9 million and proceeds from unsecured senior notes of $347.7$793.6 million and proceeds from issuance of common stock of $50.0 million partially offset by net payments on our unsecured revolving credit facilitysenior notes of $191.0$300.0 million, dividends paid to holders of our common stock of $116.7$205.9 million, and payments on our secured mortgage loans of $98.5$114.1 million, and net payments on our unsecured revolving credit facility of $100.0 million.

Dividends
The amount of dividends we pay to our stockholders is determined by our Board of Directors, in their sole discretion, and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual dividend distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We have paid monthly or quarterly dividends since February 2007, and if our investments produce sufficient cash flow, we expect to continue to pay dividends to our stockholders. Because our cash available for dividend distributions in any year may be less than 90% of our taxable income for the year, we may obtain the necessary funds through borrowings, issuing new securities or selling assets to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy our dividend distribution requirement. Our organizational documents do not establish a limit on dividends that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. The dividend we pay to our stockholders is equal to the distributions received from HTALP in accordance with the terms of HTALP’sthe HTALP partnership agreement. It is our intention to continue to pay dividends. However, our Board of Directors may reduce our dividend rate and we cannot guarantee the timing and amount of dividends that itwe may pay in the future, if any.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, we paid cash dividends of $145.9 million.$210.0 million on our common stock. In October 2017, we paid cash dividends of $61.2 million2021 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. On October 24, 2017, our Board of Directors announced a dividend of $0.305 per share of common stock. The2021, we paid cash dividends are to be paid on January 9, 2018 to stockholders of record of our common stock on January 2, 2018.of $71.8 million.
Financing
We have historically maintained a low leveraged balance sheet and intend to continue to maintain this structure in the long term. However, our total leverage may fluctuate on a short-term basis as we execute our business strategy. As of September 30, 2017,2021, our leverage ratio, measured by debt less cash and cash equivalents to total capitalization, was 31.9%31.4%.
As of September 30, 2017,2021, we had debt outstanding of $2.9$3.1 billion and the weighted average interest rate therein was 3.44%2.86% per annum, inclusive of the impact of our interest rate swaps.cash flow hedges. The following is a summary of our unsecured and secured debt. See Note 78 - Debt to ourin the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of our debt.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
As of September 30, 2017, $919.52021, $950.0 million was available on our $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. Ourfacility originally maturing in June 2022. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the unsecured revolving credit facility matures in June 2022.was amended and restated, extending maturity to October 2025.
Unsecured Term Loans
As of September 30, 2017,2021, we had $500.0 million of unsecured term loans outstanding, comprised of $300.0 million under our Unsecured Credit Agreement originally maturing in 2023 and extended to 2025 subsequent to September 30, 2021, and $200.0 million alsounder our unsecured term loan maturing in 2023.2024.

In June 2017, as a part of the Duke Acquisition pursuant to a requirement of the seller, we entered as the borrower a $286.0 million Promissory Note which matures in 2020.

contingencies.
Debt Service Requirements
We are required by the terms of our applicable loan agreements to meet certain financial covenants, such as minimum net worth and liquidity, and reporting requirements, among others. As of September 30, 2017,2021, we believe that we were in compliance with all such covenants and we are not aware of any covenants that it is reasonably likely that we would not be able to meet in accordance with our loan agreements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of and during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, we havehad no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Inflation
We are exposed to inflation risk as income from future long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that protect us from the impact of normal inflation. These provisions include rent escalations, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges and real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot allowance. However, due to the long-term nature of our leases, among other factors, the leases may not reset frequently enough to cover inflation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There werehave been no material changes infrom the information regardingquantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk that was providedpreviously disclosed in our 20162020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The table below presents,On March 5, 2021, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), a regulator of financial services firms and financial markets in the United Kingdom, formally announced the cessation of LIBOR as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a group of private-market participant convened by the principal amounts of ourU.S. Federal Reserve Board and the New York Federal Reserve, has recommended Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a more robust reference rate alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR. Concurrent with the FCA’s announcement, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) determined that the announcement constituted an index cessation event and consequently the fallback spread adjustments were fixed and variable debtpublished, with the spread adjustment between U.S. dollar 1-Month LIBOR and SOFR at 0.11%. Borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Agreement and our $200 million unsecured term loan accrue interest at a rate equal to LIBOR, plus a margin, as specified in Note 8 - Debt. On October 6, 2021, we entered into a third amended and restated revolving credit and term loan agreement, extending the weighted average interest rates, excludingmaturities under the impactexisting Unsecured Credit Agreement to October 31, 2025. However, the credit agreement, as amended, includes customary LIBOR replacement terms. The $200 million unsecured term loan matures on January 15, 2024, however, the loan agreement includes provisions for an alternative rate of interest rate swaps, by year of expected maturity to evaluatein the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes (in thousands, except interest rates):

event LIBOR is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate. As of September 30, 2017, we had $2.9 billion of fixed and variable2021, the fallback rate debt with interest rates ranging from 2.30% to 6.39% per annum and a weighted average interestunder SOFR was 0.16%. Comparatively, the U.S. dollar 1-Month LIBOR rate of 3.41% per annum, excluding the impact of interest rate swaps. We had $2.3 billion (excluding net premium/discount and deferred financing costs) of fixed rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 3.64% per annum and $613.2 million (excluding net premium/discount and deferred financing costs) of variable rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 2.58% per annum as of September 30, 2017, excluding2021 was 0.08%. Consequently, we do not anticipate the transition from LIBOR will have a material impact of interest rate swaps.
As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $2.3 billion and the fair value of our variable rate debt was $615.1 million based upon prevailing market rates as of September 30, 2017.
As of September 30, 2017, we had interest rate swaps outstanding that effectively fix $189.8 million of our variable rate debt. Including the impact of these interest rate swaps, the effective rate on our variable rate and total debt is 2.70% and 3.44% per annum, respectively.financial statements or results of operations.
In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our future properties is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of tenants, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe any liability from any reasonably foreseeable disposition of such claims and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes fromThe following supplements the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (our “2020 Form 10-K”). The following risk factor disclosure should be read in conjunction with the risk factors described in our 2020 Form 10-K. The discussion of risk factors, as so supplemented, sets forth the material risk factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our 2020 Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our Board members, our interim Chief Executive Officer and other key personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. If we are unable to employ a satisfactory successor to our interim Chief Executive Officer or if we were to lose the benefit of the experience, efforts and abilities of one or more of these individuals, our operating results could suffer.
Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions is dependent upon the performance of our Board of Directors, our executive officers and our other employees. A special committee of our Board is currently engaged in a search process to identify and employ a successor to our interim Chief Executive Officer who was appointed following the resignation of our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer effective August 2, 2021. If we are unable to employ a satisfactory replacement Chief Executive Officer or are unable to do so on a timely basis, our operating results could suffer. Our Board of Directors establishes important policies, governance objectives and strategic goals, and our management team serves a critical role in the identification and acquisition of investments, the determination and finalization of our financing arrangements, the asset management of our investments, and the operation of our day-to-day activities. Our stockholders will have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or financial data concerning our investments that are not described in our 2020 From 10-K or other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We rely primarily on the management ability of our executive officers and the governance by the members of our Board of Directors, each of whom would be difficult to replace. We do not have any key-person life insurance on our executive officers. Although we have entered into employment agreements with each of our executive officers, these employment agreements contain various termination and resignation rights. If we were to lose the benefit of the experience, efforts and abilities of these executives, without satisfactory replacements, our operating results could suffer. In addition, if any member of our Board of Directors were to resign, we would lose the benefit of such director’s governance expertise and experience, and familiarity with us and the sector within which we operate. As a result of the foregoing, we may be unable to achieve our investment objectives or to pay distributions to our stockholders.
Our recently substantially completed internal investigation into circumstances relating to reports pursuant to our whistleblower policy could result in adverse consequences that would adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
We, with the assistance of outside legal counsel, and our board’s audit committee, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, recently substantially completed an internal investigation into circumstances relating to reports pursuant to our whistleblower policy. On November 4, 2021, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K in which we reported on the results of the internal investigation. Although we concluded that the matters that were the subject of the ongoing investigation have not had a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, we cannot exclude the possibility of unanticipated adverse consequences of the internal investigation, including, but not limited to, the possibility that the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authorities or regulators may commence investigations into the facts underlying our internal investigation; the consequences of any such government investigations, including the imposition of civil or criminal penalties; the risk that we may become subject to shareholder lawsuits, the defense of which may be costly; potential reputational harm resulting from the facts underlying the internal investigation; the possibility that executives or other employees may resign or be terminated; the impact of the investigation on historical financial statements; the effect of the internal investigation on our conclusions regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures and on our ability to timely file the reports we are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Significant stockholders may attempt to effect changes at our company or acquire control over our company, which could impact the pursuit of business strategies and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We recently received communications from an investor regarding our governance and strategic direction. Other investors could take steps to involve themselves in our governance and strategic direction. Activist investors may attempt to effect changes in our strategic direction and how we are governed, or to acquire control over the company. Some investors seek to increase short-term stockholder value by advocating corporate actions such as financial restructuring, increased borrowing, special dividends, stock repurchases, or even sales of assets or the entire company. While we welcome varying opinions from all shareholders, activist campaigns that contest or conflict with our strategic direction could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition as responding to proxy contests and other actions by activist shareholders can disrupt our operations, be costly and time-consuming, and divert the attention of our board and senior management from the pursuit of business strategies. In addition, perceived uncertainties as to our future direction as a result of changes to the composition of our board may lead to the perception of a change in the direction of the business, instability or lack of continuity which may be exploited by our competitors, may cause concern to our current or potential customers, may result in the loss of potential business opportunities and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners. These types of actions could cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.
