MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC. AND MPT OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization

Medical Properties Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was formed on August 27, 2003, under the Maryland General Corporation Law for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in, owning, and leasing healthcare real estate. Our operating partnership subsidiary, MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), through which we conduct substantially all of our operations, was formed in September 2003. At present, we own all of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and have elected to report our required disclosures and that of the Operating Partnership on a combined basis, except where material differences exist.

We operate as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Accordingly, we will generally not be subject to United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax, provided that we continue to qualify as a REIT and our distributions to our stockholders equal or exceed our taxable income. Certain non-real estate activities we undertake are conducted by entities which we elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). Our TRS entities are subject to both U.S. federal and state income taxes. For our properties located outside the U.S., we are subject to the local taxes of the jurisdictions where our properties reside and/or legal entities are domiciled; however, we do not expect to incur additional taxes, of a significant nature, in the U.S. from foreign-based income as the majority of such income flows through our REIT.

Our primary business strategy is to acquire and develop real estate and improvements, primarily for long-term lease to providers of healthcare services, such as operators of general acute care hospitals, behavioral health facilities, inpatient physical rehabilitation facilities, long-term acute care hospitals, and freestanding ER/urgent care facilities. We also make mortgage loans to healthcare operators collateralized by their real estate. In addition, we may make noncontrolling investments in our tenants, from time-to-time, typically in conjunction with larger real estate transactions with the tenant, which may enhance our overall return and provide for certain minority rights and protections.

Our business model facilitates acquisitions and recapitalizations, and allows operators of healthcare facilities to unlock the value of their real estate to fund facility improvements, technology upgrades, and other investments in operations. At September 30, 2022, we have investments in 437 facilities in 31 states in the U.S., in seven countries in Europe, one country in South America, and across Australia. We manage our business as a single business segment.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information, including rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements.

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We believe the estimates and assumptions underlying our condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of September 30, 2022 (particularly as it relates to our assessments of the recoverability of our real estate and the adequacy of our credit loss reserves on loans and financing receivables). Actual results could differ from these estimates for various reasons including the impact from COVID-19 and other risk factors as outlined in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

For information about significant accounting policies (including any recent accounting developments), refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Except

for changes disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to these significant accounting policies.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Variable Interest Entities

At September 30, 2022, we had loans and/or equity investments in certain variable interest entities approximating $625 million, which represents our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement in such entities. We have determined that we were not the primary beneficiary of any variable interest entity in which we hold a variable interest because we do not control the activities (such as the day-to-day operations) that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities.

On March 14, 2022, we completed a transaction with Macquarie Asset Management (“MAM”), an unrelated party, to form a partnership (the “Macquarie Transaction”), pursuant to which we contributed eight Massachusetts-based general acute care hospitals that are leased to Steward Health Care System LLC ("Steward"), and a fund managed by MAM acquired, for cash consideration, a 50% interest in the partnership. The transaction valued the portfolio at approximately $1.7 billion, and we recognized a gain on real estate of approximately $600 million from this transaction, partially offset by the write-off of unbilled straight-line rent receivables. The partnership raised nonrecourse secured debt of 55% of asset value, and we received proceeds, including from the secured debt, of approximately $1.3 billion, virtually all of which was used to repay debt. We obtained a 50% interest in the real estate partnership

valued at approximately $400 million (included in the "Investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures" line of the condensed consolidated balance sheets), which is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Other Transactions

On March 11, 2022, we acquired four general acute care hospitals in Finland for €178 million ($194 million). These hospitals are leased to Pihlajalinna pursuant to a long-term lease with annual inflation-based escalators. We acquired these facilities by the share purchase of real estate holding entities that included deferred income tax and other liabilities of approximately $26 million.

On February 16, 2022, we agreed to participate in an existing syndicated term loan with a term of six years originated on behalf of Priory. We funded £96.5 million ($131 million) towards a £100 million participation level in the variable rate loan, reflecting a 3.5% discount.

Other acquisitions in the first nine months of 2022 included six general acute care facilities. Three general acute care facilities, located throughout Spain, were acquired on April 29, 2022 for €27 million and are leased to GenesisCare pursuant to a long-term lease with annual inflation-based escalators. Two general acute care facilities, one in Arizona and the other in Florida, were acquired on April 18 and 25, 2022, respectively, for approximately $80 million and are leased to Steward pursuant to an already existing master lease agreement with annual inflation-based escalators. The other general acute care facility, located in Colombia, was acquired on July 29, 2022 for $26 million and is leased to Fundación Cardiovascular de Colombia pursuant to a long-term lease with inflation-based escalators.

2021 Activity

Priory Group Transaction

On January 19, 2021, we completed the first of two phases in the Priory transaction in which we funded an £800 million interim mortgage loan on an identified portfolio of Priory real estate assets in the United Kingdom. On June 25, 2021, we completed the second phase of the transaction in which we converted this interim mortgage loan to fee simple ownership in a portfolio of 35 select real estate assets from Priory (which is currently majority-owned by Waterland Private Equity Fund VII C.V. (“Waterland VII”)) in individual sale-and-leaseback transactions. Therefore, the net aggregate purchase price for the real estate assets we acquired from Priory was approximately £800 million, plus customary stamp duty, tax, and other transaction costs.

In addition to the real estate investment, on January 19, 2021, we made a £250 million interim acquisition loan to Waterland VII, in connection with the closing of Waterland VII’s acquisition of Priory, which was repaid in full plus interest on October 22, 2021.

In addition, we acquired a 9.9% equity interest in the Waterland VII affiliate that indirectly owns Priory.

Other Transactions

On August 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of five general acute care hospitals located in South Florida for approximately $900 million, plus closing and other transaction costs. These hospitals are leased to Steward pursuant to a master lease that has an initial fixed term ending in 2041 with annual inflation-based escalators.

On July 6, 2021, we acquired four acute care hospitals and two on-campus medical office buildings in Los Angeles, California for $215 million. These hospitals are leased to Pipeline Health System ("Pipeline") pursuant to a long-term lease with annual inflation-based escalators.

On July 6, 2021, we also acquired an acute care hospital in Stirling, Scotland for £15.6 million. This hospital is leased to Circle Health Ltd. ("Circle") pursuant to a long-term lease with annual inflation-based escalators.

On April 16, 2021, we made a CHF 145 million investment in Swiss Medical Network, our tenant via our Infracore SA ("Infracore") equity investment.

On January 8, 2021, we made a $335 million loan to affiliates of Steward, all of the proceeds of which were used to pay to and redeem a similarly sized convertible loan from Steward’s former private equity sponsor. This loan now carries a four percent interest rate with possible additional returns based on the increase in the value of Steward. The initial term of the loan is seven years.

Development Activities

During the 2022 second quarter, we agreed to finance the development of four new projects. One of these development projects is a behavioral health facility in McKinney, Texas with a total budget of approximately $35 million. This facility will be leased to Springstone, LLC ("Springstone") pursuant to the existing long-term master lease. In addition, we agreed to finance the development of and lease three general acute care facilities located throughout Spain for a total commitment of approximately €120 million. These facilities will be leased to our existing tenant, IMED Hospitales ("IMED"), under a long-term master lease agreement.

During the 2022 first quarter, we completed construction and began recording rental income on an inpatient rehabilitation facility located in Bakersfield, California. This facility commenced rent on March 1, 2022 and is being leased to Ernest Health, Inc. ("Ernest") pursuant to an existing long-term master lease.

See table below for a status summary of our current development projects (in thousands):

Disposals

2022 Activity

On March 14, 2022, we completed the previously described partnership with MAM, in which we sold the real estate of eight Massachusetts-based general acute care hospitals, with a fair value of approximately $1.7 billion. See "New Investments" in this Note 3 for further details on this transaction.

During the first nine months of 2022, we also completed the sale of 15 other facilities (including 11 properties sold on September 1, 2022 related to the Prime Healthcare Services, Inc. ("Prime") repurchase option for proceeds of $366 million) and five ancillary properties for total proceeds of approximately $522 million and recognized a gain on real estate of approximately $100 million, along with a $42 million write-off of straight-line rent receivables due to the early termination of certain properties' expected lease terms.

Summary of Operations for Disposed Assets in 2022

The properties sold during 2022 do not meet the definition of discontinued operations. However, the following represents the operating results from these properties for the periods presented (in thousands):


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,						For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021

(1)

Includes approximately $35 million and $42 million of straight-line rent and other write-offs associated with the non-Macquarie disposal transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

(2)

Lower in 2022 as we stopped depreciating the properties making up the Macquarie Transaction once deemed held for sale in September 2021.

(3)

Includes $68.8 million and $536.8 million of gains (net of $125 million write-off of straight-line rent receivables related to the Macquarie Transaction) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

2021 Activity

During the first nine months of 2021, we completed the sale of nine facilities and an ancillary property for approximately $67 million, resulting in a net gain on real estate of approximately $9 million.

Leasing Operations (Lessor)

We acquire and develop healthcare facilities and lease the facilities to healthcare operating companies. The initial fixed lease terms of these infrastructure-type assets are typically at least 15 years, and most include renewal options at the election of our tenants, generally in five year increments. Over 99% of our leases provide annual rent escalations based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (or similar indices outside the U.S.) and/or fixed minimum annual rent escalations. Many of our domestic leases contain purchase options with pricing set at various terms but in no case less than our total initial investment. For three properties with a carrying value of approximately $110 million at September 30, 2022, our leases require a residual value guarantee from the tenant. Our leases typically require the tenant to handle and bear most of the costs associated with our properties including repair/maintenance, property taxes, and insurance. We routinely inspect our properties to ensure our assets are being maintained properly and in compliance with the terms of our leases.

For all of our properties subject to lease, we are the legal owner of the property and the tenant's right to use and possess such property is guided by the terms of a lease. At September 30, 2022, we account for all of these leases as operating leases, except where GAAP requires alternative classification, including leases on 13 Ernest facilities and three Prime facilities that are accounted for as direct financing leases and leases on 13 of our Prospect facilities and five of our Ernest facilities that are accounted for as a financing. The components of our total investment in financing leases consisted of the following (in thousands):


	As of September 30, 2022			As of December 31, 2021
Minimum lease payments receivable	$	888,308		$	1,183,855
Estimated unguaranteed residual values		203,818			203,818
Less: Unearned income and allowance for credit loss		(741,083	)		(918,584	)
Net investment in direct financing leases		351,043			469,089
Other financing leases (net of allowance for credit loss)		1,613,978			1,584,238
Total investment in financing leases	$	1,965,021		$	2,053,327

The decrease in the total investment in financing leases during the first nine months of 2022 is primarily related to financing leases associated with two properties sold on September 1, 2022 associated with the Prime repurchase transaction.

COVID-19 Rent Deferrals

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our tenants' business, we agreed to defer collection of a certain amount of rent for a few tenants. Pursuant to our agreements with these tenants, we expect repayments of previously deferred rent to continue, with the remaining outstanding deferred rent balance of approximately $15.1 million as of September 30, 2022, to be paid over specified periods in the future with interest.

Pipeline Health System

On October 2, 2022, Pipeline filed for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 protection of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Texas, while keeping its hospitals open to continue providing care to the communities served. As mentioned above in this same Note 3, all of the facilities we lease to Pipeline are located in California, representing 1% of our total assets. At September 30, 2022, Pipeline has made all of its required rental payments, and we have on-hand cash deposits of approximately $13 million. We believe our investment in these facilities is fully recoverable at this time, but no assurances can be given that we will not have any write-offs or impairments in future periods.

Watsonville Community Hospital

On September 30, 2019, we acquired the real estate of Watsonville Community Hospital in Watsonville, California for $40 million, which was then leased to Halsen Healthcare. In addition, we made a working capital loan to Halsen Healthcare. The hospital operator faced significant financial challenges over a two-year period that were worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, we increased the loan in an effort to support the operator of this facility, allowing it to continue serving the community's needs. On December 5, 2021, Halsen Healthcare filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in order to reorganize, while keeping the hospital open. As such, we recorded a credit loss reserve against the estimated uncollectible portion of the loan and wrote off approximately $2.5 million of billed and straight-line rent receivables.

On February 23, 2022, the bankruptcy court approved the bid by Pajaro Valley Healthcare District Corporation ("Pajaro") to purchase the operations of the Watsonville Community Hospital and lease the real estate from us. On August 31, 2022, Pajaro completed this purchase of the operations of the Watsonville Community Hospital. As a result of this transaction, we were repaid

approximately $32 million of the loans previously provided to the hospital. This loan repayment resulted in a credit loss recovery of approximately $20 million in the 2022 third quarter as shown in the "Other (including fair value adjustments on securities)" line of the condensed consolidated statements of net income. To date, Pajaro has been current on its monthly rental payments to us.

Other Leasing Activities

At September 30, 2022, 99% of our properties are occupied by tenants, leaving five properties as vacant, representing less than 0.3% of total assets. We are in various stages of either releasing or selling these vacant properties, for one of which we received and recorded a significant termination fee in 2019.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

Our primary business strategy is to acquire real estate and lease to providers of healthcare services. Typically, we directly own 100% of such investment. However, from time-to-time, we will co-invest with other investors that share a similar view that hospital real estate is a necessary infrastructure-type asset in communities. In these types of investments, we will own undivided interests of less than 100% of the real estate and share control over the assets through unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. The underlying real estate and leases in these unconsolidated real estate joint ventures are structured similarly and carry a similar risk profile to the rest of our real estate portfolio.

The following is a summary of our investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures by operator (amounts in thousands):


Operator	As of September 30, 2022		As of December 31, 2021
Median Kliniken S.á.r.l ("MEDIAN")	$	449,226	$	517,648
Swiss Medical Network		422,731		476,193
Steward (Macquarie Transaction)		419,040		—
Policlinico di Monza		78,057		95,468
HM Hospitales		52,956		63,618
Total	$	1,422,010	$	1,152,927

For the increase in our investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures since December 31, 2021, see "New Investments" section in this same Note 3 for a discussion of the Macquarie Transaction. Through the first nine months of 2022, we received approximately $66 million of dividends from these real estate joint ventures, including approximately $27 million of annual dividends from our joint venture in Switzerland.

Investments in Unconsolidated Operating Entities

Our investments in unconsolidated operating entities are noncontrolling investments that are typically made in conjunction with larger real estate transactions in which the operators are vetted as part of our overall underwriting process. In many cases, we would not be able to acquire the larger real estate portfolio without such investments in operators. These investments also offer the opportunity to enhance our overall return and provide for certain minority rights and protections.

The following is a summary of our investments in unconsolidated operating entities (amounts in thousands):


Operator	As of September 30, 2022		As of December 31, 2021
Steward (loan investment)	$	362,825	$	360,164
International joint venture		231,402		219,387
Springstone		200,827		187,450
Priory		144,266		42,315
Swiss Medical Network		147,189		159,208
Steward (equity investment)		139,000		139,000
Prospect		112,774		112,283
Aevis Victoria SA ("Aevis")		73,746		61,271
Aspris Children's Services ("Aspris")		16,032		8,356
Total	$	1,428,061	$	1,289,434

The increase during the first nine months of 2022 is primarily due to our investment in the Priory syndicated term loan as described under "New Investments" in this Note 3.

Pursuant to our approximate 5% stake in Aevis and other investments marked to fair value, we recorded a $12.6 million favorable non-cash fair value adjustment during the first nine months of 2022 as shown in the "Other (including fair value adjustments on securities)" line of the condensed consolidated statements of net income; whereas, this was a $2.8 million favorable non-cash fair value adjustment for the same period of 2021. We also earned approximately $4 million of dividend income from our Switzerland investments during the first nine months of 2022.

Pursuant to our existing 9.9% equity interest in Steward, we received an $11 million cash distribution during the first nine months of 2021, which was accounted for as a return of capital.

Credit Loss Reserves

Upon the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13 "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13") on January 1, 2020, we began applying a forward-looking "expected loss" model to all of our financing receivables, including financing leases and loans. We are using ASU 2016-13 to establish credit loss reserves on all financing receivables based on historical credit losses of similar instruments.

The following table summarizes the activity in our credit loss reserves (in thousands):


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021
Balance at beginning of the period	$	55,250		$	7,783
Provision (recovery) for credit loss		(19,677	)		1,829
Expected credit loss reserve related to financial instruments sold, repaid, or satisfied		(26,362	)		(85	)
Balance at end of the period	$	9,211		$	9,527


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021
Balance at beginning of the year	$	48,527		$	8,726
Provision (recovery) for credit loss		(12,920	)		890
Expected credit loss reserve related to financial instruments sold, repaid, or satisfied		(26,396	)		(89	)
Balance at end of the period	$	9,211		$	9,527

Other Investment Activities

In the 2022 second quarter, we loaned $150 million to Steward pursuant to a five-year secured loan. The loan bears interest at a current market rate (comparable to recent lease rates) plus a component of additional interest upon repayment. The loan is prepayable without penalty and is mandatorily prepayable upon certain sales of Steward assets and operations.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

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

Facility concentration – At September 30, 2022, our largest single property represented approximately 3.0% of our total assets, similar to December 31, 2021.

Operator concentration – For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenue from each of Steward, Circle, and Prospect individually represented more than 10% of our total revenues. In comparison, Steward and Circle, individually, represented more than 10% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Geographic concentration – At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, investments in the U.S., Europe, Australia, and South America represented approximately 64%, 30%, 5%, and 1%, respectively, of our total assets.

Facility type concentration – For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately 75% of our revenues were generated from our general acute care facilities, while revenues from our behavioral and rehabilitation facilities made up 14% and 8%, respectively. Freestanding ER/urgent care facilities and long-term acute care facilities combined to make up the remaining 3%. In comparison, general acute care and rehabilitation facilities made up 80% and 10%, respectively, of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, while revenues from our behavioral health, freestanding ER/urgent care, and long-term acute care facilities combined to make up approximately 10% of our revenues for the same periods.

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

2022 Activity

On May 6, 2022, we increased the amount of our unsecured credit facility ("Credit Facility") by $500 million by exercising the accordion feature. In addition, our revolver and U.S. dollar term loan were modified with Secured Overnight Financing Rate as a replacement reference rate to U.S. dollar LIBOR. Currently, our Credit Facility includes a $1.8 billion unsecured revolving loan facility and a $200 million unsecured term loan facility.

On June 29, 2022, we amended our Credit Facility. The amendment extended the maturity date of our revolving facility to June 30, 2026 with our option to extend for an additional 12 months. The maturity date of our $200 million unsecured term loan facility was extended to June 30, 2027. Additionally, we may request incremental term loan and/or revolving loan commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1 billion.

In addition, the amendment improved interest rate spreads for both facilities. Under the amended Credit Facility and at our election, loans may be made as either ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans. The applicable margin for term loans that are ABR Loans is adjustable on a sliding scale from 0.00% to 0.70% based on current credit rating. The applicable margin for term loans that are Term Benchmark Loans is adjustable on a sliding scale from 0.875% to 1.70% based on current credit rating. The applicable margin for revolving loans that are ABR Loans is adjustable on a sliding scale from 0.00% to 0.50% based on current credit rating. The applicable margin for revolving loans that are Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans is adjustable on a sliding scale from 0.80% to 1.50% based on current credit rating. The facility fee is adjustable on a sliding scale from 0.125% to 0.30% (currently 0.25%) based on current credit rating and is payable on the revolving loan facility.

On March 15, 2022, we paid off and terminated our $1 billion interim credit facility that was entered into on July 27, 2021 ("July 2021 Interim Credit Facility") with proceeds from the Macquarie Transaction as more fully described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

2021 Activity

On January 15, 2021, we entered into a $900 million interim credit facility (“January 2021 Interim Credit Facility”), of which we borrowed £500 million to partially fund the Priory Group Transaction. We paid off and terminated this facility on March 26, 2021 with proceeds from the issuance of the 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 and the 3.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2030.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On March 24, 2021, we completed an £850 million senior unsecured notes offering in two tranches. See below for details of each tranche:

2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026

On March 24, 2021, we completed a £500 million senior unsecured notes offering. The notes were issued at 99.937% of par value, and interest on the notes is payable annually on March 24 of each year, commencing on March 24, 2022. The notes pay interest in cash at a rate of 2.500% and mature on March 24, 2026.

3.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2030

On March 24, 2021, we completed a £350 million senior unsecured notes offering. The notes were issued at 99.448% of par value, and interest on the notes is payable annually on April 24 of each year, commencing on April 24, 2022. The notes pay interest in cash at a rate of 3.375% and mature on April 24, 2030.

Debt Refinancing and Unutilized Financing Costs

2022 Activity

In the first nine months of 2022, we incurred approximately $9.5 million of debt refinancing costs. These costs were incurred as a result of the payoff of our July 2021 Interim Credit Facility with proceeds from the Macquarie Transaction on March 14, 2022, along with the amendment of our Credit Facility on June 29, 2022.

2021 Activity

With the termination of our January 2021 Interim Credit Facility and other debt activity, we incurred approximately $2.3 million of debt refinancing costs in the first nine months of 2021.

Covenants

Our debt facilities impose certain restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to: incur debts; create or incur liens; provide guarantees in respect of obligations of any other entity; make redemptions and repurchases of our capital stock; prepay, redeem, or repurchase debt; engage in mergers or consolidations; enter into affiliated transactions; dispose of real estate or other assets; and change our business. In addition, the credit agreements governing our Credit Facility limit the amount of dividends we can pay as a percentage of normalized adjusted funds from operations (“NAFFO”), as defined in the agreements, on a rolling four quarter basis. At September 30, 2022, the dividend restriction was 95% of NAFFO. The indentures governing our senior unsecured notes also limit the amount of dividends we can pay based on the sum of 95% of NAFFO, proceeds of equity issuances, and certain other net cash proceeds. Finally, our senior unsecured notes require us to maintain total unencumbered assets (as defined in the related indenture) of not less than 150% of our unsecured indebtedness.

In addition to these restrictions, the Credit Facility contains customary financial and operating covenants, including covenants relating to our total leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, secured leverage ratio, consolidated adjusted net worth, unsecured leverage ratio, and unsecured interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including among others, nonpayment of principal or interest, material inaccuracy of representations, and failure to comply with our covenants. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Credit Facility, the entire outstanding balance may become immediately due and payable. At September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all such financial and operating covenants.

5. Income Taxes

In the 2022 third quarter, we incurred approximately $5 million of income tax expense from the credit loss recovery on loans made to the Watsonville Community Hospital, as more fully described in Note 3.

During the 2021 second quarter, the United Kingdom enacted an increase in its corporate income tax rates from 19% to 25% effective April 1, 2023, which resulted in higher tax expense, from adjusting our net deferred tax liabilities, of approximately $43 million.

6. Common Stock/Partners’ Capital

Medical Properties Trust, Inc.

On January 11, 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of 36.8 million shares of our common stock, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $711 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.

In addition, we sold 15.8 million shares of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program during the first nine months of 2021, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $330 million.

MPT Operating Partnership, L.P.

At September 30, 2022, the Operating Partnership is made up of a general partner, Medical Properties Trust, LLC (“General Partner”) and limited partners, including the Company (which owns 100% of the General Partner) and MPT TRS, Inc. (which is 100% owned by the General Partner). By virtue of its ownership of the General Partner, the Company has a 100% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Operating Partnership issued approximately 52.6 million units in direct response to the common stock offerings by Medical Properties Trust, Inc. during the same period.

7. Stock Awards

During the second quarter of 2022, we amended the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of common stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and other stock-based awards. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Among other things, the recent amendment increased the number of shares of common stock registered and reserved for stock awards by 16 million to 28.9 million. As of September 30, 2022, 19.3 million shares remain available for future stock awards. Share-based compensation expense totaled $33.0 million and $38.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We have various assets and liabilities that are considered financial instruments. We estimate that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values. We estimate the fair value of our interest and rent receivables using Level 2 inputs such as discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates at which similar receivables would be made to others with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The fair value of our mortgage loans and other loans are estimated by using Level 2 inputs such as discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. We determine the fair value of our senior unsecured notes using Level 2 inputs such as quotes from securities dealers and market makers. We estimate the fair value of our revolving credit facility and term loans using Level 2 inputs based on the present value of future payments, discounted at a rate which we consider appropriate for such debt.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, are subjective in nature, and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Settlement of such fair value amounts may not be a prudent management decision.

The following table summarizes fair value estimates for our financial instruments (in thousands):


	As of September 30, 2022							As of December 31, 2021
Asset (Liability)	Book Value				Fair Value			Book Value				Fair Value
Interest and rent receivables	$	117,555			$	115,426		$	56,229			$	56,564
Loans(1)		1,274,424		(2)		1,231,734			991,609		(2)		991,954
Debt, net		(9,476,144	)			(8,095,633	)		(11,282,770	)			(11,526,388	)

(1)

Excludes the acquisition loan and mortgage loan made in October 2021 for our Springstone investment and the acquisition loan made in May 2020 related to our investment in the international joint venture, along with the related subsequent investment in the real estate of three hospitals in Colombia, as these assets are accounted for under the fair value option method, as noted below.

(2)

Includes $159.0 million and $70.1 million of mortgage loans, a $289.3 million and $335.6 million shareholder loan included in investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, $628.4 million and $521.4 million of loans that are part of our investments in unconsolidated operating entities, and $197.7 million and $64.5 million of other loans at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Our equity investment and related loan to the international joint venture, our loan investment in the real estate of three hospitals operated by subsidiaries of the international joint venture in Colombia, and our equity investment and related loans in Springstone are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as we elected to account for these investments using the fair value option at the point of initial investment. We elected to account for these investments at fair value due to the size of the investments and because we believe this method was more reflective of current values.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amounts recorded under the fair value option method were as follows (in thousands):


	As of September 30, 2022				As of December 31, 2021
Asset (Liability)	Fair Value		Original Cost		Fair Value		Original Cost		Asset Type Classification
Mortgage loans	$	146,482	$	146,482	$	143,068	$	143,068	Mortgage loans
Equity investment and other loans		434,735		442,069		409,638		409,638	Investments in unconsolidated operating entities/Other loans

Our loans to Springstone and the international joint venture and its subsidiaries are recorded at fair value based on Level 2 inputs by discounting the estimated cash flows using the market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and the same remaining maturities, while also considering the value of the underlying collateral of each loan. Our equity investments in Springstone and the international joint venture are recorded at fair value based on Level 3 inputs, by using a discounted cash flow model, which requires significant estimates of our investee such as projected revenue and expenses and appropriate consideration of the underlying risk profile of the forecasted assumptions associated with the investee. We classify our valuations of equity investments as Level 3, as we use certain unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the fair value measurement, and the valuations require management judgment due to absence of quoted market prices. For the cash flow models, our observable inputs include use of a capitalization rate and discount rate (which is based on a weighted-average cost of capital) and our unobservable input includes an adjustment for a marketability discount (“DLOM”). In regards to the underlying projections used in the discounted cash flow model, such projections are provided by the investees. However, we will modify such projections as needed based on our review and analysis of historical results, meetings with key members of management, and our understanding of trends and developments within the healthcare industry.

In the first nine months of 2022, we recorded an unfavorable fair value adjustment to our investments. No fair value adjustment was recorded in the first nine months of 2021.

The DLOM on our Springstone equity investment was 40% at September 30, 2022. In arriving at the DLOM, we started with a DLOM range based on the results of studies supporting valuation discounts for other transactions or structures without a public market. To select the appropriate DLOM within the range, we then considered many qualitative factors, including the percent of control, the nature of the underlying investee’s business along with our rights as an investor pursuant to the operating agreement, the size of investment, expected holding period, number of shareholders, access to capital marketplace, etc. To illustrate the effect of movements in the DLOM, we performed a sensitivity analysis below by using basis point variations (dollars in thousands):


Basis Point Change in Marketability Discount	Estimated Increase (Decrease) In Fair Value
+100 basis points	$	(43	)
- 100 basis points		43

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we have assets and liabilities that are measured, from time-to-time, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as for long-lived asset impairment purposes. In these cases, fair value is based on estimated cash flows discounted at a risk-adjusted rate of interest by using Level 2 inputs.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

On August 26, 2022, a subsidiary of LifePoint Health, Inc. ("LifePoint") agreed to acquire a majority interest in Springstone Health Opco, LLC (the "LifePoint Transaction") based on an enterprise value of $250 million. Pursuant to the anticipated closing of this transaction in the first half of 2023, we expect to be paid approximately $200 million in full satisfaction of our initial acquisition loan to Springstone. We will retain our minority equity interest in the operations of Springstone and will continue to own and lease Springstone's behavioral hospitals. As part of the LifePoint Transaction, LifePoint has agreed to extend the current lease with us on eight existing general acute care hospitals by five years to 2041. The consummation of the LifePoint Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, and no assurances can be given that the transaction will be consummated as described or at all.

As disclosed in previous filings, we entered into a definitive agreement that would result in the leasing of five general acute care hospitals located in Utah to HCA Healthcare ("HCA") if the agreement by HCA to purchase the operations of these five facilities from Steward occurred. This agreement was terminated in June 2022 following a regulatory ruling, and these five hospitals continue to be leased to Steward.

Contingencies

We are a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to those proceedings is not presently expected to materially affect our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

11. Subsequent Events

On October 9, 2022, the board of directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase program (the "Stock Repurchase Program") for up to $500 million of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Through November 4, 2022, we repurchased 1.3 million shares of common stock for approximately $14 million. The Stock Repurchase Program expires on October 10, 2023.

On October 5, 2022, we entered into definitive agreements to sell three Prospect facilities located in Connecticut to Yale New Haven Health ("Yale") for approximately $457 million. This transaction is expected to close in 2023 subject to certain regulatory approvals and the completion of Yale's acquisition of the hospital operations from Prospect. No assurances can be given that this transaction will be consummated as described or at all.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations are presented on a combined basis for Medical Properties Trust, Inc. and MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. as there are no material differences between these two entities. Such discussion and analysis should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results or future performance, achievements or transactions or events to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and as updated in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for future periods, and current reports on Form 8-K as we file them with the SEC under the Exchange Act. Such factors include, among others, the following:

•

the political, economic, business, real estate, and other market conditions in the U.S. (both national and local), Europe (in particular the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Finland, and Portugal), Australia, South America (in particular Colombia), and other foreign jurisdictions where we may own healthcare facilities or transact business, which may have a negative effect on the following, among other things:

the financial condition of our tenants, our lenders, or institutions that hold our cash balances or are counterparties to certain hedge agreements, which may expose us to increased risks of default by these parties;

our ability to obtain equity or debt financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities, refinance existing debt, and our future interest expense; and

the value of our real estate assets, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our real estate assets or on an unsecured basis;

•

the impact of COVID-19 on our business, our joint ventures, and the business of our tenants/borrowers and the economy in general, as well as the impact of other factors that may affect our business, our joint ventures or the business of our tenants/borrowers that are beyond our control, including natural disasters, health crises, or other pandemics and subsequent government actions in reaction to such matters;

•

the risk that a condition to closing under the agreements governing any or all of our pending transactions that have not closed as of the date hereof may not be satisfied;

•

the possibility that the anticipated benefits from any or all of the transactions we have entered into or will enter into may take longer to realize than expected or will not be realized at all;

•

the competitive environment in which we operate;

•

the execution of our business plan;

•

financing risks, including due to rising inflation;

•

acquisition and development risks;

•

potential environmental contingencies and other liabilities;

•

adverse developments affecting the financial health of one or more of our tenants, including insolvency;

•

other factors affecting the real estate industry generally or the healthcare real estate industry in particular;

•

our ability to maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes;

•

our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;

•

changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

•

changes in federal, state, or local tax laws in the U.S., Europe, Australia, South America, or other jurisdictions in which we may own healthcare facilities or transact business;

•

healthcare and other regulatory requirements of the U.S., Europe, Australia, South America, and other foreign countries; and

•

the accuracy of our methodologies and estimates regarding environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") metrics and targets, tenant willingness and ability to collaborate towards reporting ESG metrics and meeting ESG goals and targets, and the impact of governmental regulation on our and our tenants' ESG efforts.

Key Factors that May Affect Our Operations

Our revenue is derived from rents we earn pursuant to the lease agreements with our tenants, from interest income from loans to our tenants and other facility owners, and from profits or equity interests in certain of our tenants’ operations. Our tenants operate in the healthcare industry, generally providing medical, surgical, rehabilitative, and behavioral health care to patients. The capacity of our tenants to pay our rents and interest is dependent upon their ability to conduct their operations at profitable levels. We believe that the business environment of the industry segments in which our tenants operate is generally positive for efficient operators. However, our tenants’ operations are subject to economic, regulatory, market, and other conditions (such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation, etc.) that may affect their profitability, which could impact our results. Accordingly, we monitor certain key performance indicators that we believe provide us with early indications of conditions that could affect the level of risk in our portfolio.

Key factors that we may consider in underwriting prospective deals and in our ongoing monitoring of our tenants’ (and guarantors’) performance, as well as the condition of our properties, include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

the scope and breadth of clinical services and programs, including utilization trends (both inpatient and outpatient) by service type;

•

the size and composition of medical staff and physician leadership at our facilities, including specialty, tenure, and number of procedures performed and/or referrals;

•

an evaluation of our operators’ administrative team, as applicable, including background and tenure within the healthcare industry;

•

staffing trends, including ratios, turnover metrics, recruitment and retention strategies at corporate and individual facility levels;

•

facility operating performance measured by current, historical, and prospective operating margins (measured by a tenant's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, management fees, and facility rent) of each tenant and at each facility;

•

the ratio of our tenants' operating earnings to facility rent and to other fixed costs, including debt costs;

•

changes in revenue sources of our tenants, including the relative mix of public payors (including Medicare, Medicaid/MediCal, and managed care in the U.S., as well as equivalent payors in Europe, Australia, and South America) and private payors (including commercial insurance and private pay patients);

•

historical support (financial or otherwise) from governments and/or other public payor systems during major economic downturns/depressions;

•

trends in tenants' cash collections, including comparison to recorded net patient service revenues;

•

tenants’ free cash flow;

•

the potential impact of healthcare pandemics/epidemics, legislation, and other regulations (including changes in reimbursement) on our tenants’ or borrowers’ profitability and liquidity;

•

the potential impact of any legal, regulatory, or compliance proceedings with our tenants;

•

an ongoing assessment of the operating environment of our tenants, including demographics, competition, market position, status of compliance, accreditation, quality performance, and health outcomes as measured by The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Joint Commission, and other governmental bodies in which our tenants operate;

•

the level of investment in the hospital infrastructure and health IT systems; and

•

physical real estate due diligence, typically including property condition and Phase 1 environmental assessments, along with annual property inspections thereafter.

Certain business factors, in addition to those described above that may directly affect our tenants and borrowers, will likely materially influence our future results of operations. These factors include:

•

trends in interest rates and other costs due to general inflation and availability and increased costs from labor shortages could adversely impact the operations of our tenants and their ability to meet their lease obligations;

•

changes in healthcare regulations that may limit the opportunities for physicians to participate in the ownership of healthcare providers and healthcare real estate;

•

reductions in reimbursements from Medicare, state healthcare programs, and commercial insurance providers that may reduce our tenants’ or borrowers’ profitability and our revenues;

•

competition from other financing sources; and

•

the ability of our tenants and borrowers to access funds in the credit markets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Refer to our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our critical accounting policies, which include investments in real estate, purchase price allocation, loans, credit losses, losses from rent and interest receivables, investments accounted for under the fair value option election, and our accounting policy on consolidation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no material changes to these policies.

Overview

We are a self-advised REIT focused on investing in and owning net-leased healthcare facilities across the U.S. and selectively in foreign jurisdictions. Medical Properties Trust, Inc. was incorporated under Maryland law on August 27, 2003, and MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. was formed under Delaware law on September 10, 2003. We conduct substantially all of our business through MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. We acquire and develop healthcare facilities and lease the facilities to healthcare operating companies under long-term net leases, which require the tenant to bear most of the costs associated with the property. We also make mortgage loans to healthcare operators collateralized by their real estate assets. From time-to-time, we may make noncontrolling investments in our tenants, typically in conjunction with larger real estate transactions with the tenant, that give us a right to share in such tenant’s profits and losses and provide for certain minority rights and protections. Our business model facilitates acquisitions and recapitalizations, and allows operators of healthcare facilities to unlock the value of their real estate assets to fund facility improvements, technology upgrades, and other investments in operations.

At September 30, 2022, our portfolio consisted of 437 properties leased or loaned to 55 operators, of which six are under development and four are in the form of mortgage loans. We manage our business as a single business segment.

At September 30, 2022, all of our investments are located in the U.S., Europe, Australia, and South America. Our total assets are made up of the following (dollars in thousands):

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to September 30, 2021

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $221.8 million ($0.37 per diluted share) compared to $171.1 million ($0.29 per diluted share) for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This 30% increase in net income is primarily due to the gain on sale of real estate from the Prime repurchase transaction, net of straight-line rent write-offs; the Watsonville Community Hospital recovery, net of income tax expense; reduced interest expense, and increased earnings from equity interests. Normalized funds from operations (“FFO”), after adjusting for certain items (as more fully described in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), was $272.3 million for the 2022 third quarter, or $0.45 per diluted share, as compared to $262.8 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the 2021 third quarter. This 4% increase in Normalized FFO is primarily due to increased earnings in equity interests and reduced interest expense.

A comparison of revenues for the three month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):


	2022		% of Total			2021		% of Total			Year over Year Change
Rent billed	$	232,418		66.0	%	$	242,211		62.0	%		-4.0	%
Straight-line rent		26,552		7.5	%		64,637		16.5	%		-58.9	%

Total revenues	$	352,339		100.0	%	$	390,779		100.0	%		-9.8	%

Our total revenues for the 2022 third quarter are down $38.4 million, or 10%, over the same period in the prior year. This decrease is made up of the following:

•

Operating lease revenue (includes rent billed and straight-line rent) – down $47.9 million over the prior year of which approximately $72.7 million of lower revenues is from disposals in 2021 and the first nine months of 2022 (including a $31.1 million decrease from the properties disposed of in the Macquarie Transaction as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, along with lower revenues due to Prime's repurchase transaction, including approximately $35 million of straight-line rent and other write-offs) and $13.9 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. This decrease is partially offset by approximately $29 million in incremental revenue from acquisitions made in 2021 (including approximately $17.5 million from Springstone) and 2022 (primarily our Finland acquisition). In addition, rent revenues are up approximately $7 million quarter-over-quarter from increases in CPI above the contractual minimum escalations in our leases, $0.2 million from capital additions in 2022, and $1.4 million from the commencement of rent on a development property in the first quarter of 2022.

•

Income from financing leases – up $0.3 million as 2022 annual rent escalations exceeded lease contractual minimums due to the increase in CPI, partially offset by $1.2 million of lower revenues from the disposal of two financing leases related to the Prime repurchase transaction.

•

Interest and other income – up $9.1 million from the prior year due to the following:

Interest from loans – up $7.5 million over the prior year due to $14.1 million of incremental revenue earned on new investments, including Springstone in the 2021 fourth quarter, the Priory syndicated loan in February 2022, and the Prospect and Steward loans made in the 2022 second quarter, along with annual escalations due to increases in CPI. This increase is partially offset by $5.0 million from loan payoffs, including less interest revenue earned on the Priory loans from the conversion of the £800 million mortgage loan to fee simple assets in the second quarter of 2021 and the repayment of the £250 million acquisition loan in the 2021 fourth quarter as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, and $1.8 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations.

Other income – up $1.6 million from the prior year as we received more direct reimbursements from our tenants for ground leases, property taxes, and insurance.

Interest expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $88.1 million and $94.1 million, respectively. This decrease is related to lowering the interest rate on our €500 million senior unsecured notes tranche in October 2021 from 4.000% to 0.993%, the payoff of our July 2021 Interim Credit Facility (which resulted in $1.6 million of interest expense in the 2021 third quarter) in March 2022 with proceeds from the Macquarie Transaction, and foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by an increase in interest rates on our Credit Facility compared to the prior year. Our weighted-average interest rate of 3.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 is similar to the weighted-average interest rate for the same period in 2021.

Real estate depreciation and amortization during the third quarter of 2022 decreased to $81.9 million from $85.0 million in 2021 due to foreign currency fluctuations and property sales in 2022 as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, partially offset by new investments made after September 30, 2021.

Property-related expenses totaled $8.3 million and $7.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of the property expenses in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, approximately $5.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively, represents costs that were reimbursed by our tenants and included in the “Interest and other income” line on our condensed consolidated statements of net income.

As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses represented 10.6% for the 2022 third quarter, slightly higher than 9.4% in the prior year due to lower revenues from the property sales in 2022 (including $35 million of write-offs of straight-line rent) as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. On a dollar basis, general and administrative expenses totaled $37.3 million for the 2022 third quarter, basically flat with the prior year third quarter.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we disposed of 11 facilities as part of the Prime repurchase transaction and three ancillary properties resulting in a net gain of $68.8 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we sold four facilities resulting in a net gain of $9.3 million.

Earnings from equity interests was $11.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, up $4.3 million from the same period in 2021, primarily due to $3.6 million of income generated on our Massachusetts-based partnership with MAM entered into during March 2022 (part of the Macquarie Transaction) and approximately $2.0 million of dividend income we received in the third quarter of 2022 from our equity interest in Swiss Medical Network. These earnings were partially offset by the loss of equity interest income from the remaining 50% interest of the IMED joint venture that we acquired during December 2021 and the impact from foreign currency fluctuations.

Other income for the 2022 third quarter included a credit loss recovery of approximately $20 million related to loans repaid by Watsonville Community Hospital (see Note 3 for more detail). In addition, we recorded a favorable non-cash fair value adjustment of $3.6 million on our investment in Aevis compared to a $0.8 million favorable adjustment for the same period in 2021.

Income tax expense includes U.S. federal and state income taxes on our TRS entities, as well as non-U.S. income based or withholding taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside the U.S. The $18.6 million income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily based on the income generated by our investments in the United Kingdom, Colombia, and Australia, as well as approximately $5 million of income tax expense associated with the Watsonville loan repayment in the third quarter of 2022 (see Note 3 and Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail). In comparison, we incurred $10.6 million in income tax expense in the third quarter of 2021.

recent financial performance. Based upon our review of all positive and negative evidence, including our three-year cumulative pre-tax book loss position in certain entities, we concluded that a valuation allowance of approximately $74.1 million should be reflected against certain of our international and domestic net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2022. In the future, if we determine that it is more likely than not that we will realize our net deferred tax assets, we will reverse the applicable portion of the valuation allowance, recognize an income tax benefit in the period in which such determination is made, and incur higher income tax expense in future periods as income is earned.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to September 30, 2021

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $1.0 billion ($1.74 per diluted share) compared to $449.5 million ($0.76 per diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This 132% increase in net income is primarily due to gains on sales of real estate in 2022 (including the Macquarie Transaction as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements), incremental revenue from new investments, and lower tax expense due to the unfavorable adjustment in the 2021 second quarter to recognize an increase in the United Kingdom corporate income tax rate, partially offset by higher depreciation expense and general and administrative costs. Normalized funds from operations (“FFO”), after adjusting for certain items (as more fully described in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), was $829.5 million for the first nine months of 2022, or $1.38 per diluted share, as compared to $757.3 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2021. This 10% increase in Normalized FFO is primarily due to incremental revenue from new investments made in 2021 and the first nine months of 2022.

A comparison of revenues for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):


	2022		% of Total			2021		% of Total			Year over Year Change
Rent billed	$	737,029		63.4	%	$	672,425		59.2	%		9.6	%
Straight-line rent		146,114		12.6	%		174,975		15.4	%		-16.5	%
Income from financing leases		154,660		13.3	%		151,898		13.4	%		1.8	%
Interest and other income		124,562		10.7	%		136,038		12.0	%		-8.4	%
Total revenues	$	1,162,365		100.0	%	$	1,135,336		100.0	%		2.4	%

Our total revenues for the first nine months of 2022 are up $27.0 million, or 2%, over the prior year. This increase is made up of the following:

•

Operating lease revenue (includes rent billed and straight-line rent) – up $35.7 million over the prior year of which approximately $160 million is incremental revenue from acquisitions made in 2021 (including approximately $50 million from Springstone) and the first nine months of 2022 (primarily our Finland acquisition). In addition, rent revenues are up approximately $18 million period-over-period from increases in CPI above the contractual minimum escalations in our leases, $1.2 million from capital additions in 2022, and $3.3 million from the commencement of rent on a development property in the first quarter of 2022. This increase is partially offset by approximately $127.4 million of lower revenues from disposals in 2021 and the first nine months of 2022 (including a $65.7 million decrease from the properties disposed of in the Macquarie Transaction as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and approximately $42 million of straight-line rent and other write-offs associated with non-Macquarie Transaction disposals in the first nine months of 2022) and $23.6 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations.

•

Income from financing leases – up $2.8 million as 2022 annual rent escalations exceeded lease contractual minimums due to the increase in CPI, partially offset by $1.2 million of lower revenues from the disposal of two financing leases related to the Prime repurchase transaction in the 2022 third quarter.

•

Interest and other income – down $11.5 million from the prior year due to the following:

Interest from loans – down $18.7 million over the prior year due to approximately $40.4 million from loan payoffs, including $36.7 million of less interest revenue earned on the Priory loans from the conversion of the £800 million mortgage loan to fee simple assets in the second quarter of 2021 and the repayment of the £250 million acquisition loan in the 2021 fourth quarter as described in Note 3, and approximately $6 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. This decrease is partially offset by $27.2 million of incremental

revenue earned on new investments including Springstone in the 2021 fourth quarter and the Priory syndicated loan in February 2022 and higher income from annual escalations due to increases in CPI.

Other income – up $7.2 million from the prior year as we received more direct reimbursements from our tenants for ground leases, property taxes, and insurance.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $267.0 million and $273.4 million, respectively. This decrease is related to lowering the interest rate on our €500 million senior unsecured notes tranche in October 2021 from 4.000% to 0.993% and foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by increasing interest rates on our Credit Facility during 2022. Overall, our weighted-average interest rate of 3.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is lower than the 3.4% in the same period in 2021.

Real estate depreciation and amortization during the first nine months of 2022 increased to $251.5 million from $237.1 million in the same period of 2021 due to new investments made after September 30, 2021, partially offset by a decrease due to property sales in 2022 as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and foreign currency fluctuations.

Property-related expenses totaled $38.0 million and $31.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of the property expenses in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, approximately $30.2 million and $23.1 million, respectively, represents costs that were reimbursed by our tenants and included in the “Interest and other income” line on our condensed consolidated statements of net income.

As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses represented 10.1% for the first nine months of 2022, slightly higher than 9.5% in the prior year. On a dollar basis, general and administrative expenses totaled $117.6 million for the first nine months of 2022, which is a $10.3 million increase from the same period in 2021. This increase reflects continued ESG efforts in additional charitable giving, further board diversification, and additional benefits to our employees, along with higher professional expenses. Compensation expense was slightly lower overall compared to 2021 as the cost of additional non-executive headcount and benefits were more than offset by a reduction in stock compensation expense from adjusting our payout expectations on certain performance awards.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we realized $536.8 million from the sales of real estate, including the completion of the partnership with MAM in which we sold the real estate of eight Massachusetts-based general acute care hospitals, resulting in a gain on real estate of approximately $600 million, partially offset by approximately $125 million of write-offs of non-cash straight-line rent receivables. We also disposed of 11 facilities related to the Prime repurchase transaction, resulting in a gain on real estate of approximately $67 million. In addition, we disposed of four other facilities and five ancillary properties, resulting in a net gain of $33 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we sold nine facilities and one ancillary property resulting in a net gain of $9.0 million.

Earnings from equity interests was $33.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, up $12.0 million from the same period in 2021. This increase is primarily due to $10.1 million of income generated on our Massachusetts-based partnership with MAM entered into during March 2022 (part of the Macquarie Transaction) and approximately $4 million of dividend income we received in 2022 from our Switzerland investments, partially offset by the loss of equity interest income from the remaining 50% interest of the IMED joint venture that we acquired during December 2021 and the impact from foreign currency fluctuations.

Debt refinancing and unutilized financing costs were $9.5 million and $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The costs incurred in 2022 were a result of the termination of our $1 billion interim credit facility in March 2022 and the amendment of our Credit Facility in the second quarter of 2022 (see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail). The costs incurred in 2021 were primarily the result of the early termination of our $900 million interim credit facility (see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail).

Other income for the first nine months of 2022 was $35.5 million and included a credit loss recovery of approximately $20 million related to loans repaid by Watsonville Community Hospital (see Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail). In addition, we recorded a favorable non-cash fair value adjustment of $12.6 million on our investment in Aevis and other investments marked to fair value during 2022 compared to a $2.8 million favorable adjustment for the same period in 2021.

Income tax expense includes U.S. federal and state income taxes on our TRS entities, as well as non-U.S. income based or withholding taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside the U.S. The $40.6 million income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily based on the income generated by our investments in the United Kingdom, Colombia, and Australia, as well as tax expense associated with the Watsonville loan repayment (see Note 3 and Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail). In comparison, we incurred $69.1 million in income tax expense in the same period

of 2021, including an adjustment to our net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $43 million to reflect an increase in the United Kingdom corporate tax rate from 19% to 25%.

We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets are recorded to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, all available positive and negative evidence is considered, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance. Based upon our review of all positive and negative evidence, including our three-year cumulative pre-tax book loss position in certain entities, we concluded that a valuation allowance of approximately $74.1 million should be reflected against certain of our international and domestic net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2022. In the future, if we determine that it is more likely than not that we will realize our net deferred tax assets, we will reverse the applicable portion of the valuation allowance, recognize an income tax benefit in the period in which such determination is made, and incur higher income tax expense in future periods as income is earned.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Investors and analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations, or FFO, as a supplemental performance measure. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate asset values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. We compute FFO in accordance with the definition provided by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, which represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) on sales of real estate and impairment charges on real estate assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition, we disclose normalized FFO, which adjusts FFO for items that relate to unanticipated or non-core events or activities or accounting changes that, if not noted, would make comparison to prior period results and market expectations less meaningful to investors and analysts.

We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and the use of normalized FFO makes comparisons of our operating results with prior periods and other companies more meaningful. While FFO and normalized FFO are relevant and widely used supplemental measures of operating and financial performance of REITs, they should not be viewed as a substitute measure of our operating performance since the measures do not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which can be significant economic costs that could materially impact our results of operations. FFO and normalized FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income attributable to MPT common stockholders to FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (amounts in thousands except per share data):

Total Adjusted Gross Assets

Total adjusted gross assets is total assets before accumulated depreciation/amortization (adjusted for our investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures), assumes material transaction commitments are completed, and assumes cash on hand at period-end and cash generated from or to be generated from transaction commitments or financing activities subsequent to period-end are either used in these transactions or used to reduce debt. We believe total adjusted gross assets is useful to investors as it provides a more current view of our portfolio and allows for a better understanding of our concentration levels as our commitments close. The following table presents a reconciliation of total assets to total adjusted gross assets (in thousands):

Reflects an addition to total assets to present our total share of each joint venture's gross assets. See below for details of the calculation. While we do not control any of our unconsolidated real estate joint venture arrangements and do not have direct legal claim to the underlying assets of the unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, we believe this adjustment allows investors to view certain concentration information on a basis comparable to the remainder of our real estate

portfolio. This presentation is also consistent with how our management team reviews our portfolio (dollar amounts in thousands):

Total Adjusted Revenues

Total adjusted revenues are total revenues adjusted for our pro rata portion of similar revenues in our unconsolidated real estate joint venture arrangements. We believe total adjusted revenues are useful to investors as it provides a more complete view of revenues across all of our investments and allows for better understanding of our revenue concentration. The following table presents a reconciliation of total revenues to total adjusted revenues (in thousands):


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021
Total revenues	$	352,339	$	390,779
Revenues from investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures		44,997		33,129
Total adjusted revenues	$	397,336	$	423,908

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

2022 Cash Flow Activity

During the first nine months of 2022, we generated approximately $560 million of cash flows from operating activities, primarily consisting of rent and interest from mortgage and other loans, of which we used $525 million to fund our dividends. In addition, we received approximately $2.2 billion of proceeds from disposals (including the Macquarie Transaction as described in Note 3 to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) and approximately $360 million from the property sales to Prime. We used these proceeds to pay off our July 2021 Interim Credit Facility, partially pay down the outstanding balance on our Credit Facility, fund $1.0 billion of new acquisitions, and make other investments. We exercised the $500 million accordion feature to our revolving credit facility during the first nine months of 2022 and extended the term on both the revolver and term loan portions of our Credit Facility - see Note 4 to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional details.

2021 Cash Flow Activity

During the first nine months of 2021, we generated approximately $577 million of cash flows from operating activities, primarily consisting of rent and interest from mortgage and other loans. We used these operating cash flows, along with $11 million received from Steward as a return of capital distribution, to fund our dividends of $476 million and certain investment activities. In addition, we invested approximately $3.2 billion in real estate and other assets, including the £1.1 billion Priory Group Transaction in January 2021 (as more fully described in Note 3 to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q), using a combination of cash on-hand and cash generated from the $1.0 billion of net proceeds from the sales of stock during the first nine months of 2021, £850 million from the issuance of senior unsecured notes, approximately $140 million in loan principal repayments, and $650 million in borrowings under the July 2021 Interim Credit Facility.

Short-term Liquidity Requirements:

At November 4, 2022, our liquidity approximates $1.2 billion. We believe this liquidity, along with our current monthly cash receipts from rent and loan interest and regular distributions from our joint venture arrangements, is sufficient to fund our operations, dividends in order to comply with REIT requirements, our current firm commitments (capital expenditures and expected funding requirements on development projects), share repurchases, if any, and debt service obligations for the next twelve months (including contractual interest payments). If the LifePoint Transaction (as more fully described in Note 10 to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) and the sale of three Prospect facilities (as more fully described in Note 11 to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) are consummated in 2023, we would have approximately $650 million of additional liquidity.

Long-term Liquidity Requirements:

As of November 4, 2022, our liquidity approximates $1.2 billion. We believe that this liquidity, along with monthly cash receipts from rent and loan interest (of which 99% of such leases and mortgage loans include escalation provisions that compound annually) and regular distributions from our joint venture arrangements, is sufficient to fund our operations, debt and interest obligations (including our December 2023 debt maturity of approximately $450 million), our firm commitments, share repurchases, if any, and dividends in order to comply with REIT requirements for the foreseeable future.

However, in order to make additional investments, to fund debt maturities coming due after 2023, or to further improve our leverage ratios, we may need to access one or a combination of the following sources of capital:

•

strategic property sales or joint ventures (including the LifePoint Transaction as described in Note 10 and the sale of three Prospect facilities as described in Note 11);

•

sale of equity securities;

•

new bank term loans;

•

new USD, EUR, or GBP denominated debt securities, including senior unsecured notes; and/or

•

new secured loans on real estate.

However, there is no assurance that conditions will be favorable for such possible transactions or that our plans will be successful.

Principal payments due on our debt (which exclude the effects of any discounts, premiums, or debt issue costs recorded) as of November 4, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):


2022	$	—
2023		455,160
2024		776,400
2025		1,294,380
2026		2,388,712
Thereafter		4,881,005

Contractual Commitments

We presented our contractual commitments in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and provided an update in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022. There have been no other significant changes through November 4, 2022.

Distribution Policy

The table below is a summary of our distributions declared during the two year period ended September 30, 2022:


Declaration Date	Record Date	Date of Distribution	Distribution per Share
August 18, 2022	September 15, 2022	October 13, 2022	$	0.29
May 26, 2022	June 16, 2022	July 14, 2022	$	0.29
February 17, 2022	March 17, 2022	April 14, 2022	$	0.29
November 11, 2021	December 9, 2021	January 13, 2022	$	0.28
August 19, 2021	September 16, 2021	October 14, 2021	$	0.28
May 26, 2021	June 17, 2021	July 8, 2021	$	0.28
February 18, 2021	March 18, 2021	April 8, 2021	$	0.28
November 12, 2020	December 10, 2020	January 7, 2021	$	0.27

It is our policy to make sufficient cash distributions to stockholders in order for us to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to efficiently manage corporate income and excise taxes on undistributed income. However, our Credit Facility limits the amount of dividends we can pay- see Note 4 in Item 1 to this Form 10-Q for further information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. We seek to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the terms of new investments with new long-term fixed rate borrowings to the extent possible. We may or may not elect to use financial derivative instruments to hedge interest rate or foreign currency exposure. For interest rate hedging, these decisions are principally based on our policy to match investments with comparable borrowings, but are also based on the general trend in interest rates at the applicable dates and our perception of the future volatility of interest rates. For foreign currency hedging, these decisions are principally based on how our investments are financed, the long-term nature of our investments, the need to repatriate earnings back to the U.S., and the general trend in foreign currency exchange rates.

In addition, the value of our facilities will be subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the ability of our tenants to generate profits.

Our primary exposure to market risks relates to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency. The following analyses present the sensitivity of the market value, earnings, and cash flows of our significant financial instruments to hypothetical changes in interest rates and exchange rates as if these changes had occurred. The hypothetical changes chosen for these analyses reflect our view of changes that are reasonably possible over a one-year period. These forward looking disclosures are selective in nature and only address the potential impact from these hypothetical changes. They do not include other potential effects which could impact our business as a result of changes in market conditions. In addition, they do not include measures we may take to minimize our exposure such as entering into future interest rate swaps to hedge against interest rate increases on our variable rate debt.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

For fixed rate debt, interest rate changes affect the fair market value but do not impact net income to common stockholders or cash flows. Conversely, for floating rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value but do impact net income to common stockholders and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. At September 30, 2022, our outstanding debt totaled $9.5 billion, which consisted of fixed-rate debt of approximately $8.7 billion (after considering interest rate swaps in-place) and variable rate debt of $0.8 billion. If market interest rates increase by 10%, the fair value of our debt at September 30, 2022 would decrease by approximately $218.1 million. Changes in the fair value of our fixed rate debt will not have any impact on us unless we decided to repurchase the debt in the open market.

If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increase by 10%, the increase in annual interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by $2.8 million per year. If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt decrease by 10%, the decrease in interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase future earnings and cash flows by $2.8 million per year. This assumes that the average amount outstanding under our variable rate debt for a year is $0.8 billion, the balance of such variable rate debt at September 30, 2022.

Foreign Currency Sensitivity

With our investments in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Finland, Australia, and Colombia, we are subject to fluctuations in the British pound, euro, Swiss franc, Australian dollar, and Colombian peso to U.S. dollar currency exchange rates. Although we generally deem investments in these countries to be of a long-term nature, are typically able to match any non-U.S. dollar borrowings with investments in such currencies, and historically have not needed to repatriate a material amount of earnings back to the U.S., increases or decreases in the value of the respective non-U.S. dollar currencies to U.S. dollar exchange rates may impact our financial condition and/or our results of operations. Based solely on our 2022 operating results to-date and on an annualized basis, a 10% change to the following exchange rates would have impacted our net income, FFO, and Normalized FFO by the amounts below (in thousands):


	Net Income Impact		FFO Impact		NFFO Impact
British pound (£)	$	9,504	$	18,293	$	18,390
Euro (€)		2,028		6,151		6,167
Swiss franc (CHF)		4,197		6,411		3,664
Australian dollar (A$)		1,285		3,357		3,357
Colombian peso (COP)		1,147		1,163		1,163
