Covid Update
The coronavirus (“Covid”) pandemic has caused significant disruption to individuals, governments, financial markets, and businesses, including the Company. The Company’s tenants, operators, and borrowers have experienced significant cost increases as a result of increased health and safety measures, staffing shortages, increased governmental regulation and compliance, vaccine mandates, and other operational changes necessitated either directly or indirectly by the Covid pandemic. The Company evaluated the impacts of Covid on its business thus far and incorporated information concerning the impact of Covid into its assessments of liquidity, impairments, and collectibility from tenants, residents, and borrowers as of March 31, 2022. The Company will continue to monitor such impacts and will adjust its estimates and assumptions based on the best available information.
NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Healthpeak Properties, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, joint ventures (“JVs”), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that it controls through voting rights or other means. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Revision to Additional Paid-In Capital and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
During the third quarter of 2021, the Company identified and corrected immaterial errors in the classification and redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests of consolidated joint ventures in its life science segment. The Company corrected the classification of its redeemable noncontrolling interests and increased the balance to its estimated redemption value, with a corresponding decrease to additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.
The increase in the unrealized value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests was largely attributable to rapidly rising rents and compressing capitalization rates in the market in which the entities operate, and was identified and corrected by management. The Company determined the impact of the adjustments to be immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, based on consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors. As such, these adjustments are reflected in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
These adjustments had no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Consolidated Statements of Operations, or any per share amounts. The Company made changes (all amounts in thousands) to the Consolidated Statements of Equity and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests to decrease APIC, total stockholders’ equity, and total equity as of March 31, 2021 by $75,543 with a corresponding increase to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $78,413 and a decrease to accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities as of March 31, 2021 of $2,870 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Government Grant Income
On March 27, 2020, the federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) to provide financial aid to individuals, businesses, and state and local governments. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company received government grants under the CARES Act primarily to cover increased expenses and lost revenue during the Covid pandemic. Grant income is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all conditions attached to the grant. Additionally, grants are recognized over the periods in which the Company recognizes the increased expenses and lost revenue the grants are intended to defray. As of March 31, 2022, the amount of qualifying expenditures and lost revenue exceeded grant income recognized and the Company believes it has complied and will continue to comply with all grant conditions. In the event of non-compliance, all such amounts received are subject to recapture.

(1)At March 31, 2022, the Company had $49 million remaining of commitments to fund additional loans for senior housing redevelopment and capital expenditure projects. At December 31, 2021, the Company had $58 million remaining of commitments to fund additional loans for senior housing redevelopment and capital expenditure projects.
SHOP Seller Financing
In conjunction with the sale of 32 SHOP facilities in the Sunrise Senior Housing Portfolio for $664 million in January 2021 (see Note 4), the Company provided the buyer with initial financing of $410 million. The remainder of the sales price was received in cash at the time of sale. Additionally, the Company agreed to provide up to $92 million of additional financing for capital expenditures (up to 65% of the estimated cost of capital expenditures). The additional financing was subsequently reduced to $56 million in June 2021 and $47 millionin February 2022 in conjunction with the principal repayments discussed below.Through March 31, 2022, $0.4 million of the additional financing had been funded. The initial and additional financing is secured by the buyer's equity ownership in each property.
In June 2021, the Company received principal repayments of $246 million on the initial financing provided in conjunction with the sale of the Sunrise Senior Housing Portfolio. Additionally, in February 2022, the Company received principal repayments of $8 million in conjunction with the disposition of the underlying collateral. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, this secured loan had an outstanding balance of $157 millionand $165 million, respectively.
In conjunction with the sale of 16 additional SHOP facilities for $230 million in January 2021 (see Note 4), the Company provided the buyer with financing of $150 million. The remainder of the sales price was received in cash at the time of sale. The financing is secured by the buyer's equity ownership in each property.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company reduced the consideration and reported gain on sales of real estate and recognized a mark-to-market discount of$16 million for certain transactions with seller financing. The Company’s discount is based on the difference between the stated interest rates (ranging from 3.50% to 4.50%) and corresponding prevailing market rates of approximately 5.25% as of the transaction dates.The discount is recognized as interest income over the term of the discounted loans (ranging from one to three years) using the effective interest rate method. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $1 millionand $2 million, respectively, of non-cash interest income related to the amortization of its mark-to-market discounts.
The Company classifies a loan receivable as held for sale when management no longer has the intent or ability to hold the loan receivable for the foreseeable future or until maturity. If a loan receivable is classified as held for sale, previously recorded reserves for loan losses are reversed and the loan is reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. During the second quarter of 2021, two loans receivable with a total amortized cost of $64 million were classified as held for sale. Upon the transfer of these two loans to held for sale, the carrying value was decreased by $11 million to an estimated fair value of $53 million, $8 million of which was previously recognized as a reserve for loan losses. In 2021, the Company sold these two loans receivable previously classified as held for sale for their aggregate carrying value of $53 million.
These fair value estimates were made for each individual loan classified as held for sale and primarily relied on a market approach, utilizing comparable market transactions, forecasted sales prices, and negotiations with prospective buyers. These estimates are considered to be a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy, and are subject to inherent uncertainties.
Additionally, in April 2021, the Company sold two mezzanine loans as part of the Discovery SHOP Portfolio disposition (see Note 4), resulting in no gain or loss on sale of the mezzanine loans.
In May 2021, the Company received a $10 million principal repayment related to one of its secured loans. In September 2021, the Company received repayment of the remaining $15 million balance.
In July 2021, the Company received full repayment of the outstanding balance of an $8 million secured loan.
CCRC Resident Loans
For certain residents that qualify, CCRCs may offer to lend residents the necessary funds to satisfy the entrance fee requirements so that they are able to move into a community while still continuing the process of selling their previous home. The loans are due upon sale of the previous residence. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company held$25 millionand $24 million, respectively, of such notes receivable, which are included in mezzanine and other in the table above.
Loans Receivable Internal Ratings
In connection with the Company’s quarterly review process or upon the occurrence of a significant event, loans receivable are reviewed and assigned an internal rating of Performing, Watch List, or Workout. Loans that are deemed Performing meet all present contractual obligations, and collection and timing of all amounts owed is reasonably assured. Watch List Loans are defined as loans that do not meet the definition of Performing or Workout. Workout Loans are defined as loans in which the Company has determined, based on current information and events, that: (i) it is probable it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreement, (ii) the borrower is delinquent on making payments under the contractual terms of the agreement, and (iii) the Company has commenced action or anticipates pursuing action in the near term to seek recovery of its investment.

Reserve for Loan Losses
The Company evaluates the liquidity and creditworthiness of its borrowers on a quarterly basis to determine whether any updates to the future expected losses recognized upon inception are necessary. The Company’s evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, individual and portfolio property performance, credit enhancements, liquidity, and other factors. The determination of loan losses also considers concentration of credit risk associated with the senior housing industry to which its loans receivable relate. The Company’s borrowers furnish property, portfolio, and guarantor/operator-level financial statements, among other information, on a monthly or quarterly basis, which the Company utilizes to calculate the debt service coverages used in its assessment of internal ratings, which is a primary credit quality indicator. Debt service coverage information is evaluated together with other property, portfolio, and operator performance information, including revenue, expense, NOI, occupancy, rental rates, capital expenditures, and EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, tax, and depreciation and amortization), along with other liquidity measures.
In its assessment of current expected credit losses for loans receivable and unfunded loan commitments, the Company utilizes past payment history of its borrowers, current economic conditions, and forecasted economic conditions through the maturity date of each loan to estimate a probability of default and a resulting loss for each loan receivable. Future economic conditions are based primarily on near-term economic forecasts from the Federal Reserve and reasonable assumptions for long-term economic trends.

NOTE 9. Debt
Bank Line of Credit and Term Loan
On May 23, 2019, the Company executed a $2.5 billion unsecured revolving line of credit facility, with a maturity date of May 23, 2023 and twosix-month extension options, subject to certain customary conditions. Also in May 2019, the Company entered into a $250 million unsecured term loan facility, with a maturity date of May 23, 2024 (the “2019 Term Loan”). In July 2021, the Company repaid the $250 million 2019 Term Loan.
In September 2021, the Company executed an amended and restated unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility”) to increase total revolving commitments from $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion and extend the maturity date to January 20, 2026. This maturity date may be further extended pursuant to twosix-month extension options, subject to certain customary conditions. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus a margin that depends on the credit ratings of the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt. The Company also pays a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends on its credit ratings. Based on the Company’s credit ratings at March 31, 2022, the margin on the Revolving Facility was 0.78%and the facility fee was0.15%. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had nobalance outstanding under the Revolving Facility.
The Revolving Facility includes a feature that allows the Company to increase the borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $750 million, subject to securing additional commitments. Further, the Revolving Facility includes customary LIBOR replacement language, including, but not limited to, the use of rates based on the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Revolving Facility also includes a sustainability-linked pricing component whereby the applicable margin may be reduced by up to 0.025% based on the Company’s achievement of specified sustainability-linked metrics, subject to certain conditions.
The Revolving Facility also contains certain financial restrictions and other customary requirements, including financial covenants and cross-default provisions to other indebtedness. Among other things, these covenants, using terms defined in the agreement: (i) limit the ratio of Enterprise Total Indebtedness to Enterprise Gross Asset Value to 60%; (ii) limit the ratio of Enterprise Secured Debt to Enterprise Gross Asset Value to 40%; (iii) limit the ratio of Enterprise Unsecured Debt to Enterprise Unencumbered Asset Value to 60%; (iv) require a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.5 times; and (v) require a minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $7.7 billion. The Company believes it was in compliance with each of these covenants at March 31, 2022.
Commercial Paper Program
In September 2019, the Company established an unsecured commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”). Under the terms of the Commercial Paper Program, the Company may issue, from time to time, unsecured short-term debt securities with varying maturities. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program may be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed from time to time. During 2021, the Company increased the maximum aggregate face or principal amount that can be outstanding at any one time from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion. Amounts borrowed under the Commercial Paper Program will be sold on terms that are customary for the U.S. commercial paper market and will be at least equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Company uses its Revolving Facility as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of unsecured short-term debt securities issued under the Commercial Paper Program. At March 31, 2022, the Company had $1.33 billionof securities outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program, with original maturities of approximately45 days and a weighted average interest rate of 0.93%. At December 31, 2021, the Company had $1.17 billion of securities outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program, with original maturities of approximately two months and a weighted average interest rate of 0.32%.
Senior Unsecured Notes
At each of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had senior unsecured notes outstanding with an aggregate principal balance of $4.7 billion. The senior unsecured notes contain certain covenants including limitations on debt, maintenance of unencumbered assets, cross-acceleration provisions and other customary terms.The Company believes it was in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company did not repurchase or redeem any senior unsecured notes.

Mortgage Debt
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $349 million and $350 million, respectively, in aggregate principal of mortgage debt outstanding, which was secured by 18 healthcare facilities, with an aggregate carrying value of $803 million and $811 million, respectively.
Mortgage debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments, is collateralized by real estate assets, and is non-recourse. Mortgage debt typically restricts transfer of the encumbered assets, prohibits additional liens, restricts prepayment, requires payment of real estate taxes, requires maintenance of the assets in good condition, requires insurance on the assets, and includes conditions to obtain lender consent to enter into or terminate material leases. Some of the mortgage debt may require tenants or operators to maintain compliance with the applicable leases or operating agreements of such real estate assets.
During each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company made aggregate principal repayments of mortgage debt of $1 million (excluding mortgage debt on assets held for sale and discontinued operations).
In April 2021, in conjunction with the acquisition of the MOB Portfolio, the Company originated $142 million of secured mortgage debt (see Note 3) that matures in May 2026. In April 2022, the Company terminated its existing interest rate cap agreements associated with this variable rate mortgage debt and entered into two interest rate swap contracts that are designated as cash flow hedgesand mature in May 2026 (see Note 17).

NOTE 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes may have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company’s policy is to expense legal costs as they are incurred.
DownREITs and Other Partnerships
In connection with the formation of certain limited liability companies (“DownREITs”), members may contribute appreciated real estate to a DownREIT in exchange for DownREIT units. These contributions are generally tax-deferred, so that the pre-contribution gain related to the property is not taxed to the member. However, if a contributed property is later sold by the DownREIT, the unamortized pre-contribution gain that exists at the date of sale is specifically allocated and taxed to the contributing members. In many of the DownREITs, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with those members who contributed appreciated property into the DownREIT. Under these indemnification agreements, if any of the appreciated real estate contributed by the members is sold by the DownREIT in a taxable transaction within a specified number of years, the Company will reimburse the affected members for the federal and state income taxes associated with the pre-contribution gain that is specially allocated to the affected member under the Internal Revenue Code (“make-whole payments”). These make-whole payments include a tax gross-up provision. These indemnification agreements have expirations terms that range through 2039 on a total of 29 properties.
Additionally, the Company owns a 49% interest in the Life Science JV (see Note 7). If the property in the joint venture is sold in a taxable transaction, the Company is generally obligated to indemnify its joint venture partner for its federal and state income taxes associated with the gain that existed at the time of the contribution to the joint venture.
NOTE 11. Equity and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Dividends
On April 28, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share. The common stock cash dividend will be paid on May 20, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 9, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company declared and paid common stock cash dividends of $0.30per share.
At-The-Market Equity Offering Program
In February 2020, the Company established an at-the-market equity offering program (as amended from time to time, the “ATM Program”), which was most recently amended in May 2021 to increase the size of the program from $1.25 billion to $1.5 billion, pursuant to which shares of common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $1.5 billion may be sold (i) by the Company through a consortium of banks acting as sales agents or directly to the banks acting as principals or (ii) by a consortium of banks acting as forward sellers on behalf of any forward purchasers pursuant to a forward sale agreement (each, an “ATM forward contract”). The use of ATM forward contracts allows the Company to lock in a share price on the sale of shares at the time the ATM forward contract is effective, but defer receiving the proceeds from the sale of shares until a later date.
ATM forward contracts generally have a one to two year term. At any time during the term, the Company may settle a forward sale by delivery of physical shares of common stock to the forward seller or, at the Company’s election, in cash or net shares. The forward sale price the Company expects to receive upon settlement of outstanding ATM forward contracts will be the initial forward price established upon the effective date, subject to adjustments for: (i) accrued interest, (ii) the forward purchasers’ stock borrowing costs, and (iii) certain fixed price reductions during the term of the ATM forward contract.
At March 31, 2022, $1.18 billionof the Company’s common stock remained available for sale under the ATM Program.
ATM Forward Contracts
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company utilized the forward provisions under the ATM Program to allow for the sale of an aggregate of 9.1 million shares of its common stock at an initial weighted average net price of $35.25 per share, after commissions. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, no shares were settled under ATM forward contracts. Therefore, at March 31, 2022, 9.1 million shares remained outstanding under ATM forward contracts.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not utilize the forward provisions under the ATM Program.
ATM Direct Issuances
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, no shares of common stock were issued under the ATM Program.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Arrangements with noncontrolling interest holders are assessed for appropriate balance sheet classification based on the redemption and other rights held by the noncontrolling interest holder. Certain of the Company’s noncontrolling interest holders have the ability to put their equity interests to the Company upon specified events or after the passage of a predetermined period of time. Each put option is payable in cash and subject to increases in redemption value in the event that the underlying property generates specified returns for the Company and meets certain promote thresholds pursuant to the respective agreements. Accordingly, the Company records redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of permanent equity and presents the redeemable noncontrolling interests at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, one of the redeemable noncontrolling interests met the conditions for redemption and the related put option was exercised during the year then ended. Accordingly, the Company made a cash payment for the redemption value of $60 million to the related noncontrolling interest holder during the year ended December 31, 2021 and acquired the redeemable noncontrolling interest associated with this entity. The remaining redeemable noncontrolling interests had not yet met the conditions for redemption as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Three of the interests will become redeemable following the passage of a predetermined amount of time, one of which will occur in late 2022, and the remaining two in 2023 and 2024. The fourth interest will become redeemable at the earlier of a predetermined passage of time or stabilization of the underlying development property, which is expected to occur in 2023. The redemption values are subject to change based on the assessment of value at each redemption date.
NOTE 12. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic income (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the impact of forward equity sales agreements using the treasury stock method and common shares issuable from the assumed conversion of DownREIT units, stock options, certain performance restricted stock units, and unvested restricted stock units. Only those instruments having a dilutive impact on the Company’s basic income (loss) per share are included in diluted income (loss) per share during the periods presented.
Restricted stock and certain performance restricted stock units are considered participating securities, because dividend payments are not forfeited even if the underlying award does not vest, and require use of the two-class method when computing basic and diluted earnings per share.
Refer to Note 11 for a discussion of the sale of shares under and settlement of forward sales agreements during the periods presented. The Company considered the potential dilution resulting from the forward agreements to the calculation of earnings per share. At inception, the agreements do not have an effect on the computation of basic EPS as no shares are delivered until settlement. However, the Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the dilution, if any, resulting from the forward sales agreements during the period of time prior to settlement. The aggregate effect on the Company’s diluted weighted-average common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 waszero weighted-average incremental shares from the forward equity sales agreements.
The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the 9.1 million shares under forward sales agreements that have not been settled as of March 31, 2022 were anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, forward sales agreements had no dilutive impact as no shares remained outstanding under ATM forward contracts during the period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, all 7 million shares issuable upon conversion of DownREIT units were not included because they were anti-dilutive.
NOTE 13. Segment Disclosures
The Company’s reportable segments, based on how its chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”) evaluate the business and allocate resources, are as follows: (i) life science, (ii) medical office, and (iii) CCRC. The Company has non-reportable segments that are comprised primarily of the Company’s interests in an unconsolidated JV that owns 19 senior housing assets (the “SWF SH JV”) and debt investments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC, as updated by Note 2 herein.
The Company evaluates performance based on property Adjusted NOI. NOI is defined as real estate revenues (inclusive of rental and related revenues, resident fees and services, income from direct financing leases, and government grant income and exclusive of interest income), less property level operating expenses; NOI excludes all other financial statement amounts included in net income (loss). Adjusted NOI is calculated as NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-line rents, DFL non-cash interest, amortization of market lease intangibles, termination fees, actuarial reserves for insurance claims that have been incurred but not reported, and the impact of deferred community fee income and expense.
NOI and Adjusted NOI include the Company’s share of income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures and exclude noncontrolling interests’ share of income (loss) from consolidated joint ventures. Management believes that Adjusted NOI is an important supplemental measure because it provides relevant and useful information by reflecting only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the property level and presenting it on an unlevered basis. Additionally, management believes that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI and Adjusted NOI. NOI and Adjusted NOI should not be viewed as alternative measures of operating performance to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP since they do not reflect various excluded items.
Non-segment assets consist of assets in the Company’s other non-reportable segments and corporate non-segment assets. Corporate non-segment assets consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, loans receivable, marketable equity securities, other assets, real estate assets held for sale and discontinued operations, and liabilities related to assets held for sale.
The following tables summarize information for the reportable segments (in thousands):

NOTE 15. Variable Interest Entities
Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had investments in: (i) two unconsolidated VIE joint ventures and (ii) marketable debt securities of one VIE. The Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary of and therefore does not consolidate these VIEs because it does not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance. Except for the Company’s equity interest in the unconsolidated joint ventures (the LLC investment and Needham Land Parcel JV discussed below), it has no formal involvement in these VIEs beyond its investments.
Debt Securities Investment. The Company holds commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (commonly referred to as Freddie MAC) through a special purpose entity that has been identified as a VIE because it is “thinly capitalized.” The CMBS issued by the VIE are backed by mortgage debt obligations on real estate assets. These securities are classified as held-to-maturity because the Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity.
LLC Investment. The Company holds a limited partner ownership interest in an unconsolidated LLC that has been identified as a VIE. The Company’s involvement in the entity is limited to its equity investment as a limited partner and it does not have any substantive participating rights or kick-out rights over the general partner. The assets and liabilities of the entity primarily consist of those associated with its senior housing real estate and development activities. Any assets generated by the entity may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily development expenses and debt service payments).
Needham Land Parcel JV. In December 2021, the Company acquired a 38% interest in a life science development joint venture in Needham, Massachusetts for $13 million. Current equity at risk is not sufficient to finance the joint venture’s activities. The assets and liabilities of the entity primarily consist of real estate and debt service obligations. Any assets generated by the entity may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily development expenses and debt service payments).
The classification of the related assets and liabilities and the maximum loss exposure as a result of the Company’s involvement with these VIEs at March 31, 2022 was as follows (in thousands):

_______________________________________
(1)The Company’s maximum loss exposure represents the aggregate carrying amount of such investments (including accrued interest).
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not provided, and is not required to provide, financial support through a liquidity arrangement or otherwise, to its unconsolidated VIEs, including under circumstances in which it could be exposed to further losses (e.g., cash shortfalls).
See Notes 3, 4, and 7 for additional descriptions of the nature, purpose, and operating activities of the Company’s unconsolidated VIEs and interests therein.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
The Company’s consolidated total assets and total liabilities at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include certain assets of VIEs that can only be used to settle the liabilities of the related VIE. The VIE creditors do not have recourse to the Company.
Ventures V, LLC. The Company holds a 51% ownership interest in and is the managing member of a joint venture entity formed in October 2015 that owns and leases MOBs (“Ventures V”). The Company classifies Ventures V as a VIE due to the non-managing member lacking substantive participation rights in the management of Ventures V or kick-out rights over the managing member. The Company consolidates Ventures V as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The assets of Ventures V primarily consist of leased properties (net real estate), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of capital expenditures for the properties. Assets generated by Ventures V may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from capital expenditures).
Life Science JVs. The Company holds a 99% ownership interest in multiple joint venture entities that own and lease life science assets (the “Life Science JVs”). The Life Science JVs are VIEs as the members share in control of the entities, but substantially all of the activities are performed on behalf of the Company. The Company consolidates the Life Science JVs as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance. The assets of the Life Science JVs primarily consist of leased properties (net real estate), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; their obligations primarily consist of debt service payments and capital expenditures for the properties. Assets generated by the Life Science JVs may only be used to settle their contractual obligations (primarily from capital expenditures). Refer to Note 11 for a discussion of certain put options associated with the Life Science JVs.
MSREI MOB JV. The Company holds a 51% ownership interest in, and is the managing member of, a joint venture entity formed in August 2018 that owns and leases MOBs (the “MSREI JV”). The MSREI JV is a VIE due to the non-managing member lacking substantive participation rights in the management of the joint venture or kick-out rights over the managing member. The Company consolidates the MSREI JV as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The assets of the MSREI JV primarily consist of leased properties (net real estate), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of capital expenditures for the properties. Assets generated by the MSREI JV may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from capital expenditures).
DownREITs. The Company holds a controlling ownership interest in and is the managing member of seven DownREITs. The Company classifies the DownREITs as VIEs due to the non-managing members lacking substantive participation rights in the management of the DownREITs or kick-out rights over the managing member. The Company consolidates the DownREITs as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance. The assets of the DownREITs primarily consist of leased properties (net real estate), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; their obligations primarily consist of debt service payments and capital expenditures for the properties. Assets generated by the DownREITs (primarily from resident rents) may only be used to settle their contractual obligations (primarily from debt service and capital expenditures).
Other Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships. The Company holds a controlling ownership interest in and is the general partner (or managing member) of multiple partnerships that own and lease real estate assets (the “Partnerships”). The Company classifies the Partnerships as VIEs due to the limited partners (non-managing members) lacking substantive participation rights in the management of the Partnerships or kick-out rights over the general partner (managing member). The Company consolidates the Partnerships as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance. The assets of the Partnerships primarily consist of leased properties (net real estate), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; their obligations primarily consist of debt service payments and capital expenditures for the properties. Assets generated by the Partnerships (primarily from resident rents) may only be used to settle their contractual obligations (primarily from debt service and capital expenditures).
Exchange Accommodation Titleholder. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company acquired two MOBs (the “acquired properties”) using a reverse like-kind exchange structure pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (a “reverse 1031 exchange”). As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not completed the reverse 1031 exchange and as such, the acquired properties remained in the possession of the Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (“EAT”). The EAT was classified as a VIE as it was a “thinly capitalized” entity. The Company consolidated the EAT because it had the ability to control the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of the EAT and was, therefore, the primary beneficiary of the EAT. The properties held by the EAT had a carrying value of$43 million as of March 31, 2022. The assets of the EAT primarily consisted of leased properties (net real estate, including intangibles), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; their obligations primarily consisted of capital expenditures for the properties. Assets generated by the EAT may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from capital expenditures).
Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company acquired two MOBs using reverse 1031 exchanges. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not completed the reverse 1031 exchanges and as such, the acquired properties remained in the possession of the EAT. These properties held by the EAT had a carrying value of $77 million as of December 31, 2021. These reverse 1031 exchanges were completed in February 2022.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were immaterial at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

For bank line of credit and commercial paper, the carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair value because the borrowings are primarily based on market interest rates and the Company’s credit rating.
(3)During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, there were no material transfers of financial assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy.
NOTE 17. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on specific forecasted transactions as well as recognized financial obligations or assets. Utilizing derivative instruments allows the Company to manage the risk of fluctuations in interest rates related to the potential impact these changes could have on future earnings and forecasted cash flows. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
In March 2021, the Company repaid $39 million of variable rate secured debt on two SHOP assets and terminated the two remaining related interest rate swap contracts. Therefore, at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no remaining interest rate swap contracts.
In April 2021, the Company executed two interest rate cap agreements on its mortgage debt issued in conjunction with the acquisition of the MOB Portfolio (see Note 3).

Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical factual statements are “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”). Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding our and our officers’ intent, belief or expectation as identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “project,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “target,” “forecast,” “plan,” “potential,” “estimate,” “could,” “would,” “should” and other comparable and derivative terms or the negatives thereof. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and views about future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, including our future financial condition and results of operations, to differ materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks and uncertainties that may affect our business and future financial performance.
Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analysis made in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors that we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith belief and assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon current information, we can give no assurance that our expectations or forecasts will be attained. Further, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report.
As more fully set forth under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations contained in the forward-looking statements include, among other things:
•the coronavirus (“Covid”) pandemic and health and safety measures intended to reduce its spread, the availability, effectiveness and public usage and acceptance of vaccines, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume within the markets in which we operate;
•the ability of our existing and future tenants, operators, and borrowers to conduct their respective businesses in a manner sufficient to maintain or increase their revenues and manage their expenses in order to generate sufficient income to make rent and loan payments to us and our ability to recover investments made, if applicable, in their operations;
•increased competition, operating costs, and market changes affecting our tenants, operators, and borrowers;
•the financial condition of our tenants, operators, and borrowers, including potential bankruptcies and downturns in their businesses, and their legal and regulatory proceedings;
•our concentration of real estate investments in the healthcare property sector, which makes us more vulnerable to a downturn in a specific sector than if we invested in multiple industries and exposes us to the risks inherent in illiquid investments;
•our ability to identify and secure replacement tenants and operators and the potential renovation costs and regulatory approvals associated therewith;
•our property development, redevelopment, and tenant improvement activity risks, including project abandonments, project delays, and lower profits than expected;
•changes within the life science industry;
•high levels of regulation, funding requirements, expense and uncertainty faced by our life science tenants;
•the ability of the hospitals on whose campuses our medical office buildings (“MOBs”) are located and their affiliated healthcare systems to remain competitive or financially viable;
•our ability to maintain or expand our hospital and health system client relationships;
•operational risks associated with third party management contracts, including the additional regulation and liabilities of our properties operated through structures permitted by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, which includes most of the provisions previously proposed in the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (commonly referred to as “RIDEA”);
•economic and other conditions that negatively affect geographic areas from which we recognize a greater percentage of our revenue;
•uninsured or underinsured losses, which could result in significant losses and/or performance declines by us or our tenants and operators;
•our investments in joint ventures and unconsolidated entities, including our lack of sole decision making authority and our reliance on our partners’ financial condition and continued cooperation;
•our use of fixed rent escalators, contingent rent provisions and/or rent escalators based on the Consumer Price Index;
•competition for suitable healthcare properties to grow our investment portfolio;
•our ability to foreclose on collateral securing our real estate-related loans;
•our ability to make material acquisitions and successfully integrate them;
•the potential impact on us and our tenants, operators, and borrowers from litigation matters, including rising liability and insurance costs;
•an increase in our borrowing costs, including due to higher interest rates;
•the availability of external capital on acceptable terms or at all, including due to rising interest rates, changes in our credit ratings and the value of our common stock, volatility or uncertainty in the capital markets, and other factors;
•cash available for distribution to stockholders and our ability to make dividend distributions at expected levels;
•our ability to manage our indebtedness level and covenants in and changes to the terms of such indebtedness;
•changes in global, national and local economic and other conditions;
•laws or regulations prohibiting eviction of our tenants;
•the failure of our tenants, operators, and borrowers to comply with federal, state and local laws and regulations, including resident health and safety requirements, as well as licensure, certification, and inspection requirements;

Executive Summary
Healthpeak Properties, Inc.is a Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 company that acquires, develops, owns, leases and manages healthcare real estate across the United States (“U.S.”). Our company was originally founded in 1985. We are a Maryland corporation and qualify as a self-administered REIT. Our corporate headquarters are located in Denver, Colorado and we have additional offices in California, Tennessee, and Massachusetts.
During 2020, we began the process of disposing of our senior housing triple-net and senior housing operating property (“SHOP”) portfolios. As of December 31, 2020, we concluded that the planned dispositions represented a strategic shift that had and will have a major effect on our operations and financial results and, therefore, the assets are classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented herein. In September 2021, we successfully completed the disposition of both portfolios. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding discontinued operations.
In conjunction with the disposal of our senior housing triple-net and SHOP portfolios, we focused our strategy on investing in a diversified portfolio of high-quality healthcare properties across our three core asset classes of life science, medical office, and continuing care retirement community (“CCRC”) real estate. Under the life science and medical office segments, we invest through the acquisition, development and management of life science facilities, MOBs, and hospitals. Under the CCRC segment, our properties are operated through RIDEA structures. We have other non-reportable segments that are comprised primarily of debt investments and an interest in an unconsolidated joint venture that owns 19 senior housing assets (our “SWF SH JV”).
At March 31, 2022, our portfolio of investments, including properties in our unconsolidated joint ventures, consisted of interests in 483 properties. The following table summarizes information for our reportable and other non-reportable segments, excluding discontinued operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

For a description of our significant activities during 2022, see “Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview of Transactions” in this report.
We invest in and manage our real estate portfolio for the long-term to maximize benefit to our stockholders and support the growth of our dividends. Our strategy consists of four core elements:
(i)Our real estate: Our portfolio is grounded in high-quality properties in desirable locations. We focus on three purposely selected private pay asset classes—life science, medical office, and continuing care retirement community—to provide stability through inevitable market cycles.
(ii)Our financials: We maintain a strong investment-grade balance sheet with ample liquidity as well as long-term fixed-rate debt financing with staggered maturities to reduce our exposure to interest rate volatility and refinancing risk.
(iii)Our partnerships: We work with leading healthcare companies, operators, and service providers and are responsive to their space and capital needs. We provide high-quality property management services to encourage tenants to renew, expand, and relocate into our properties, which drives increased occupancy, rental rates, and property values.
(iv)Our platform: We have a people-first culture that we believe attracts, develops and retains top talent. We continually strive to create and maintain an industry-leading platform, with systems and tools that allow us to effectively and efficiently manage our assets and investment activity.
Covid Update
Our tenants, operators, and borrowers have experienced significant cost increases as a result of increased health and safety measures, staffing shortages, increased governmental regulation and compliance, vaccine mandates, and other operational changes necessitated either directly or indirectly by the Covid pandemic. We anticipate that many of these expenses will remain at these higher levels even after the pandemic passes, and may reduce margins in the business. In addition, the pandemic, including labor and supply chain disruptions and/or other economic conditions caused by the pandemic, could adversely impact the scheduled completion and/or cost of our development, redevelopment and tenant improvement projects.
Senior housing facilities have been disproportionately impacted by Covid and Covid-related fatalities compared to our life science and medical office segments. Although the wide availability of the vaccine has reduced the negative impacts of the pandemic in our CCRC communities and the senior housing facilities owned by our SWF SH JV, we do not yet know the full, long-term economic impact of the Covid pandemic and whether or when occupancy and revenue will return to pre-pandemic levels. Labor costs in particular have increased as a result of higher staffing hours, increased hourly wages and bonuses, greater overtime, and increased usage of contract labor. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in some potentially long-term changes in traditional economic patterns and arrangements, including that (i) seniors may not seek out senior housing at the same level that they did pre-pandemic; (ii) recent legislation that favors delivery of services at home rather than in an institutional setting could negatively impact the segment; (iii) qualified employees may view employment at senior housing facilities less attractively than they did pre-pandemic; (iv) the number of people who have not returned to the workforce could create long-term staffing shortages; (v) changing expectations around the protection required for residents in senior housing facilities may increase costs; (vi) senior housing operators are undertaking numerous adaptations in response to these changes, the success of which adaptations is uncertain; and (vii) the inflationary environment could permanently alter behavior in unpredictable ways.
We believe we remain well-positioned to navigate economic changes resulting from the pandemic, with approximately $2.12 billion of liquidity available, including $1.69 billion of borrowing capacity under our Revolving Facility (as defined below), $313 million of net proceeds expected from the future settlement of shares issued through our ATM forward contracts (as defined below), and approximately $124 millionof cash and cash equivalents as of May 2, 2022.
See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 for additional discussion of the risks posed by the Covid pandemic and uncertainties we and our tenants, operators, and borrowers may face as a result.

Results of Operations
We evaluate our business and allocate resources among our reportable business segments: (i) life science, (ii) medical office, and (iii) CCRC.Under the life science and medical office segments, we invest through the acquisition, development, and management of life science facilities, MOBs, and hospitals, which generally requires a greater level of property management. Our CCRCs are operated through RIDEA structures. We have other non-reportable segments that are comprised primarily of: (i) an interest in our unconsolidated SWF SH JV and (ii) debt investments. We evaluate performance based upon property adjusted net operating income (“Adjusted NOI” or “Cash NOI”) in each segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as updated by Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein.
NOI and Adjusted NOI are non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) supplemental financial measures used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate. NOI is defined as real estate revenues (inclusive of rental and related revenues, resident fees and services, income from direct financing leases, and government grant income and exclusive of interest income), less property level operating expenses; NOI excludes all other financial statement amounts included in net income (loss) as presented in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Adjusted NOI is calculated as NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-line rents, DFL non-cash interest, amortization of market lease intangibles, termination fees, actuarial reserves for insurance claims that have been incurred but not reported, and the impact of deferred community fee income and expense. NOI and Adjusted NOI include our share of income (loss) generated by unconsolidated joint ventures and exclude noncontrolling interests’ share of income (loss) generated by consolidated joint ventures. Adjusted NOI is oftentimes referred to as “Cash NOI.” Management believes NOI and Adjusted NOI are important supplemental measures because they provide relevant and useful information by reflecting only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the property level and present them on an unlevered basis. We use NOI and Adjusted NOI to make decisions about resource allocations, to assess and compare property level performance, and to evaluate our Same-Store (“SS”) performance, as described below. We believe that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI and Adjusted NOI. NOI and Adjusted NOI should not be viewed as alternative measures of operating performance to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP since they do not reflect various excluded items. Further, our definitions of NOI and Adjusted NOI may not be comparable to the definitions used by other REITs or real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and Adjusted NOI. For a reconciliation of NOI and Adjusted NOI to net income (loss) by segment, refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Operating expenses generally relate to leased medical office and life science properties, as well as CCRC facilities. We generally recover all or a portion of our leased medical office and life science property expenses through tenant recoveries. We present expenses as operating or general and administrative based on the underlying nature of the expense.
Same-Store
Same-Store NOI and Adjusted (Cash) NOI information allows us to evaluate the performance of our property portfolio under a consistent population by eliminating changes in the composition of our consolidated portfolio of properties. Same-Store Adjusted NOI excludes amortization of deferred revenue from tenant-funded improvements and certain non-property specific operating expenses that are allocated to each operating segment on a consolidated basis.
Properties are included in Same-Store once they are stabilized for the full period in both comparison periods. Newly acquired operating assets are generally considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up (typically when the tenant(s) control(s) the physical use of at least 80% of the space and rental payments have commenced) or 12 months from the acquisition date. Newly completed developments and redevelopments are considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up or 24 months from the date the property is placed in service. Properties that experience a change in reporting structure are considered stabilized after 12 months in operations under a consistent reporting structure. A property is removed from Same-Store when it is classified as held for sale, sold, placed into redevelopment, experiences a casualty event that significantly impacts operations, a change in reporting structure or operator transition has been agreed to, or a significant tenant relocates from a Same-Store property to a non Same-Store property and that change results in a corresponding increase in revenue. We do not report Same-Store metrics for our other non-reportable segments. For a reconciliation of Same-Store to total portfolio Adjusted NOI and other relevant disclosures by segment, refer to our Segment Analysis below.
Funds From Operations (“FFO”)
FFO encompasses Nareit FFO and FFO as Adjusted, each of which is described in detail below. We believe FFO applicable to common shares, diluted FFO applicable to common shares, and diluted FFO per common share are important supplemental non-GAAP measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets utilizes straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that use historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. The term FFO was designed by the REIT industry to address this issue.
Nareit FFO. FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), is net income (loss) applicable to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable property, including any current and deferred taxes directly associated with sales of depreciable property, impairments of, or related to, depreciable real estate, plus real estate and other real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and adjustments to compute our share of Nareit FFO and FFO as Adjusted (see below) from joint ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro-rata share of both our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We reflect our share of Nareit FFO for unconsolidated joint ventures by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. For consolidated joint ventures in which we do not own 100%, we reflect our share of the equity by adjusting our Nareit FFO to remove the third party ownership share of the applicable reconciling items based on actual ownership percentage for the applicable periods. Our pro-rata share information is prepared on a basis consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts, is intended to reflect our proportionate economic interest in the operating results of properties in our portfolio and is calculated by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period. We do not control the unconsolidated joint ventures, and the pro-rata presentations of reconciling items included in Nareit FFO do not represent our legal claim to such items. The joint venture members or partners are entitled to profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the joint venture agreements, which provide for such allocations generally according to their invested capital.
The presentation of pro-rata information has limitations, which include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses and (ii) other companies in our industry may calculate their pro-rata interest differently, limiting the usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, the pro-rata financial information should not be considered independently or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP financial statements, using the pro-rata financial information as a supplement.
Nareit FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss). We compute Nareit FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition; however, other REITs may report Nareit FFO differently or have a different interpretation of the current Nareit definition from ours.
FFO as Adjusted. In addition, we present Nareit FFO on an adjusted basis before the impact of non-comparable items including, but not limited to, transaction-related items, other impairments (recoveries) and other losses (gains), restructuring and severance related charges, prepayment costs (benefits) associated with early retirement or payment of debt, litigation costs (recoveries), casualty-related charges (recoveries), foreign currency remeasurement losses (gains), deferred tax asset valuation allowances, and changes in tax legislation (“FFO as Adjusted”). Transaction-related items include transaction expenses and gains/charges incurred as a result of mergers and acquisitions and lease amendment or termination activities. Prepayment costs (benefits) associated with early retirement of debt include the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, or additional costs, expenses, discounts, make-whole payments, penalties or premiums incurred as a result of early retirement or payment of debt. Other impairments (recoveries) and other losses (gains) include interest income associated with early and partial repayments of loans receivable and other losses or gains associated with non-depreciable assets including goodwill, DFLs, undeveloped land parcels, and loans receivable. Management believes that FFO as Adjusted provides a meaningful supplemental measurement of our FFO run-rate and is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. At the same time that Nareit created and defined its FFO measure for the REIT industry, it also recognized that “management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and authority to publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community.” We believe stockholders, potential investors, and financial analysts who review our operating performance are best served by an FFO run-rate earnings measure that includes certain other adjustments to net income (loss), in addition to adjustments made to arrive at the Nareit defined measure of FFO. FFO as Adjusted is used by management in analyzing our business and the performance of our properties and we believe it is important that stockholders, potential investors, and financial analysts understand this measure used by management. We use FFO as Adjusted to: (i) evaluate our performance in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions, (ii) evaluate the performance of our management, (iii) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources, (iv) assess our performance as compared with similar real estate companies and the industry in general, and (v) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating an adjusted FFO measure, and accordingly, our FFO as Adjusted may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Nareit FFO and FFO as Adjusted and other relevant disclosure, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” below.
Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”). AFFO is defined as FFO as Adjusted after excluding the impact of the following: (i) amortization of stock-based compensation, (ii) amortization of deferred financing costs, net, (iii) straight-line rents, (iv) deferred income taxes, and (v) other AFFO adjustments, which include: (a) amortization of acquired market lease intangibles, net, (b) non-cash interest related to DFLs and lease incentive amortization (reduction of straight-line rents), (c) actuarial reserves for insurance claims that have been incurred but not reported, and (d) amortization of deferred revenues, excluding amounts amortized into rental income that are associated with tenant funded improvements owned/recognized by us and up-front cash payments made by tenants to reduce their contractual rents. Also, AFFO is computed after deducting recurring capital expenditures, including second generation leasing costs and second generation tenant and capital improvements, and includes adjustments to compute our share of AFFO from our unconsolidated joint ventures.More specifically, recurring capital expenditures, including second generation leasing costs and second generation tenant and capital improvements ("AFFO capital expenditures") excludes our share from unconsolidated joint ventures (reported in “other AFFO adjustments”). Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect our pro-rata share of both our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We reflect our share of AFFO for unconsolidated joint ventures by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated joint ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our AFFO to remove the third party ownership share of the applicable reconciling items based on actual ownership percentage for the applicable periods (reported in “other AFFO adjustments”). See FFO for further disclosure regarding our use of pro-rata share information and its limitations. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO, and accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. Although our AFFO computation may not be comparable to that of other REITs, management believes AFFO provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our performance and is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. We believe AFFO is an alternative run-rate earnings measure that improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and makes comparisons with: (i) expected results, (ii) results of previous periods, and (iii) results among REITs more meaningful. AFFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as it excludes the following items which generally flow through our cash flows from operating activities: (i) adjustments for changes in working capital or the actual timing of the payment of income or expense items that are accrued in the period, (ii) transaction-related costs, (iii) litigation settlement expenses, and (iv) restructuring and severance-related charges. Furthermore, AFFO is adjusted for recurring capital expenditures, which are generally not considered when determining cash flows from operations or liquidity. AFFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to AFFO and other relevant disclosure, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” below.

Net income (loss) applicable to common shares decreased primarily as a result of the following:
•a decrease in income from discontinued operations, primarily as a result of: (i) a decrease in gain on sales of real estate from the completion of dispositions of our senior housing portfolios and (ii) decreased NOI from dispositions of our senior housing portfolios;
•an increase in depreciation, primarily as a result of: (i) 2021 and 2022 acquisitions of real estate and (ii) development and redevelopment projects placed in service during 2021 and 2022;
•expenses incurred for tenant relocation and other costs associated with a planned MOB demolition; and
•a decrease in interest income primarily as a result of principal repayments on and sales of loans receivable in 2021 and 2022.
The decrease in net income (loss) applicable to common shares was partially offset by:
•a decrease in loss on debt extinguishments related to our repurchase and redemption of certain outstanding senior notes in the first quarter of 2021;
•an increase in NOI generated from our life science and medical office segments related to: (i) 2021 and 2022 acquisitions of real estate, (ii) development and redevelopment projects placed in service during 2021 and 2022, and (iii) new leasing activity during 2021 and 2022 (including the impact to straight-line rents);
•a gain on sale of a hospital that was classified as a DFL;
•a reduction in interest expense, primarily as a result of senior unsecured notes repurchases and redemptions in the first and second quarters of 2021;
•an increase in government grant income received under the CARES Act in 2022;
•an increase in gains on sale of depreciable real estate related to a life science facility sale in 2022; and
•a reduction in loan loss reserves in 2022 primarily due to a lower loans receivable balance.
Nareit FFO increased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting net income (loss) applicable to common shares, except for the following, which are excluded from Nareit FFO:
•net gain on sales of depreciable real estate; and
•depreciation and amortization expense.
FFO as Adjusted increased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting Nareit FFO, except for the following, which are excluded from FFO as Adjusted:
•the gain on sale of a hospital that was classified as a DFL;
•the expenses for tenant relocation and other costs associated with an MOB that we intend to demolish; and
•loan loss reserves.
AFFO increased primarily as a result of the aforementioned events impacting FFO as Adjusted, except for the impact of straight-line rents, which is excluded from AFFO. The increase was partially offset by higher AFFO capital expenditures during the period.
The following tables provide selected operating information for our Same-Store and total property portfolio for each of our reportable segments. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our Same-Store consists of 385properties representing properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized on or prior to January 1, 2021 and that remained in operations under a consistent reporting structure through March 31, 2022. Our total property portfolio consisted of 483 and 463 properties at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(5)Base rent does not include tenant recoveries, additional rents in excess of floors and non-cash revenue adjustments (i.e., straight-line rents, amortization of market lease intangibles, and deferred revenues).
Same-Store Adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of the following:
•annual rent escalations;
•new leasing activity; and
•mark-to-market lease renewals.
Total Portfolio Adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of the aforementioned impacts to Same-Store and the following Non-Same-Store impacts:
•an increase in NOI from (i) increased occupancy in developments and redevelopments placed in service in 2021 and 2022 and (ii) acquisitions in 2021 and 2022.

Same-Store Adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of the following:
•mark-to-market lease renewals;
•annual rent escalations; and
•higher parking income and percentage-based rents.
Total Portfolio Adjusted NOI increased primarily as a result of the aforementioned increases to Same-Store and the following Non-Same-Store impacts:
•increased NOI from our 2021 and 2022 acquisitions;
•increased occupancy in former redevelopment and development properties that have been placed in service; partially offset by
•decreased NOI from our 2021 and 2022 dispositions.

Interest income
Interest income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2022primarily as a result of principal repayments on and sales of loans receivable in 2021 and 2022.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily as a result of senior unsecured notes repurchases and redemptions in the first and second quarters of 2021.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily as a result of: (i) assets acquired during 2021 and 2022 and (ii) development and redevelopment projects placed in service during 2021 and 2022.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily as a result of lower restructuring and severance related charges.
Impairments and loan loss reserves (recoveries), net
Impairments and loan loss reserves (recoveries), net decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of a decrease in loan loss reserves under the current expected credit losses model. The reduction in loan loss reserves for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to a lower loans receivable balance.
Gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net increased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily as a result of the sale of one life science facility for $14 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 resulting in total gain on sale of $4 million. Other than dispositions related to our senior housing portfolios included in income (loss) from discontinued operations as discussed below, there were no real estate sales during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Gain (loss) on debt extinguishments
Loss on debt extinguishments decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of no senior unsecured note repurchases or redemptions during the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the repurchase and redemption of certain outstanding senior notes in the first quarter of 2021.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net increased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily as a result of: (i) a gain on sale of a hospital that was classified as a DFL and (ii) an increase in government grant income received under the CARES Act in 2022, partially offset by expenses incurred for tenant relocation and other costs associated with a planned MOB demolition.
Income tax benefit (expense)
Income tax expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily as a result of the tax impact of an increase in government grant income received under the CARES Act.
Equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures
Equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures increased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of our share of net income from the Life Science JV, partially offset by our share of decreased net income from the SWF SH JV.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations
Income from discontinued operations decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily as a result of: (i) decreased gain on sales of real estate from the completion of dispositions of our senior housing portfolios, (ii) decreased NOI following the dispositions of our senior housing portfolios, and (iii) a decline in government grant income received under the CARES Act for the senior housing portfolio.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that our cash flow from operations, available cash balances, and cash from our various financing activities will be adequate for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future for purposes of: (i) funding recurring operating expenses; (ii) meeting debt service requirements; and (iii) satisfying funding of distributions to our stockholders and non-controlling interest members. Distributions are made using a combination of cash flows from operations, funds available under our bank line of credit (the “Revolving Facility”) and commercial paper program, proceeds from the sale of properties, and other sources of cash available to us.
In addition to funding the activities above, our principal liquidity needs for the next 12 months are to:
•fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs; and
•fund future acquisition, transactional, and development and redevelopment activities.
Our longer term liquidity needs include the items listed above as well as meeting debt service requirements.
We anticipate satisfying these future needs using one or more of the following:
•cash flow from operations;
•sale of, or exchange of ownership interests in, properties or other investments;
•borrowings under our Revolving Facility and commercial paper program;
•issuance of additional debt, including unsecured notes, term loans, and mortgage debt; and/or
•issuance of common or preferred stock or its equivalent, including the settlement of forward contracts or other sales of common stock under the ATM Program (as defined below).
Our ability to access the capital markets impacts our cost of capital and ability to refinance maturing indebtedness, as well as our ability to fund future acquisitions and development through the issuance of additional securities or secured debt. Credit ratings impact our ability to access capital and directly impact our cost of capital as well. For example, our Revolving Facility accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin that depends upon our credit ratings for our senior unsecured long-term debt. Our Revolving Facility includes customary LIBOR replacement language, including, but not limited to, the use of rates based on the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. We also pay a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends upon our credit ratings. As of May 2, 2022, we had long-term credit ratings of Baa1 from Moody’s and BBB+ from S&P Global and Fitch, and short-term credit ratings of P-2, A-2, and F2 from Moody’s, S&P Global, and Fitch, respectively.
A downgrade in credit ratings by Moody’s, S&P Global, and Fitch may have a negative impact on the interest rates and facility fees for our Revolving Facility and may negatively impact the pricing of notes issued under our commercial paper program and senior unsecured notes. While a downgrade in our credit ratings would adversely impact our cost of borrowing, we believe we would continue to have access to the unsecured debt markets, and we could also seek to enter into one or more secured debt financings, issue additional securities, including under our ATM Program (as defined below), or dispose of certain assets to fund future operating costs, capital expenditures, or acquisitions, although no assurances can be made in this regard. Refer to “Covid Update” above for a more comprehensive discussion of the potential impact of Covid on our business.
Changes in Material Cash Requirements and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our material cash requirements related to debt increased by $166 million to $6.3 billion at March 31, 2022, when compared to December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of issuances of securities under our commercial paper program. As of March 31, 2022, we had $1.33 billion outstanding under our commercial paper program. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our debt commitments.
Our material cash requirements related to development and redevelopment projects and tenant improvements decreased by $52 million, to $418 million at March 31, 2022, when compared to December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of actual spend on existing projects in the first quarter of 2022.
Our material cash requirements to provide additional funding for senior housing redevelopment and capital expenditure projects decreased by $9 million, to $49 million at March 31, 2022, when compared to December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of reduced commitments from current quarter principal repayments on our seller financing. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Certain of our noncontrolling interest holders have the ability to put their equity interests to us upon specified events or after the passage of a predetermined period of time. Each put option is subject to changes in redemption value in the event that the underlying property generates specified returns for us and meets certain promote thresholds pursuant to the respective agreements. As of March 31, 2022, we had $98 million of redeemable noncontrolling interests, none of which met the conditions for redemption as of the balance sheet date. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
There have been no changes to our distribution and dividend requirements during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
We own interests in certain unconsolidated joint ventures as described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Two of these joint ventures have mortgage debt of $87 million, of which our share is $40 million. Except in limited circumstances, our risk of loss is limited to our investment in the joint ventures.
There have been no other material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to the material cash requirements or material off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 under “Material Cash Requirements” and “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.

Operating Cash Flows
The increase in operating cash flow is primarily the result of an increase in income related to: (i) 2021 and 2022 acquisitions, (ii) annual rent increases, (iii) new leasing and renewal activity, and (iv) developments and redevelopments placed in service during 2021 and 2022. The increase in operating cash flow is partially offset by a decrease in income related to assets sold during 2021 and 2022. Our cash flow from operations is dependent upon the occupancy levels of our buildings, rental rates on leases, our tenants’ performance on their lease obligations, the level of operating expenses, and other factors.
Investing Cash Flows
The following are significant investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022:
•made investments of $339 million primarily related to the acquisition, development, and redevelopment of real estate; and
•received net proceeds of $93 million primarily from sales of real estate assets and repayments on loans receivable and direct financing leases.
The following are significant investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021:
•received net proceeds of $948 million primarily from sales of real estate assets; and
•made investments of $181 million primarily related to the acquisition, development, and redevelopment of real estate and funding of new and existing loans.
Financing Cash Flows
The following are significant financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022:
•made net borrowings of $165 million under our Revolving Facility and commercial paper program; and
•paid cash dividends on common stock of $163 million.
The following are significant financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021:
•made repayments of $1.6 billion under our senior unsecured notes (including debt extinguishment costs) and mortgage debt;
•made net borrowings of $909 million under our Revolving Facility and commercial paper program; and
•paid cash dividends on common stock of $164 million.
Discontinued Operations
Operating, investing, and financing cash flows in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are reported inclusive of both cash flows from continuing operations and cash flows from discontinued operations. Certain significant cash flows from discontinued operations are disclosed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The absence of future cash flows from discontinued operations is not expected to significantly impact our liquidity, as the proceeds from senior housing triple-net and SHOP dispositions were used to pay down debt and invest in additional real estate in our other business lines. Additionally, we have multiple other sources of liquidity that can be utilized in the future, as needed. Refer to the beginning of the Liquidity and Capital Resources section above for additional information regarding our liquidity.
See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our outstanding debt.
Approximately 77%and 78% of our consolidated debt, excluding debt classified as liabilities related to assets held for sale and discontinued operations, net, was fixed rate debt as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022, our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt had weighted average interest rates of 3.40% and 1.13%, respectively. At March 31, 2021, our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt had weighted average interest rates of 3.77% and 0.51%, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $142 million and zero, respectively, of variable rate debt subject to interest rate cap agreements. In April 2022, we terminated these interest rate cap agreements and entered into two interest rate swap contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges and mature in May 2026. For a more detailed discussion of our interest rate risk, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 3 below.
Equity
At March 31, 2022, we had 540 million shares of common stock outstanding, equity totaled $6.9 billion, and our equity securities had a market value of $18.8 billion.
At March 31, 2022, non-managing members held an aggregate of five million units in seven limited liability companies (“DownREITs”) for which we are the managing member. The DownREIT units are exchangeable for an amount of cash approximating the then-current market value of shares of our common stock or, at our option, shares of our common stock (subject to certain adjustments, such as stock splits and reclassifications). At March 31, 2022, the outstanding DownREIT units were convertible into approximatelyseven million shares of our common stock.
At-The-Market Program
Our at-the-market equity offering program (as amended from time to time, the “ATM Program”) has a capacity of $1.5 billion. In addition to the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock, we may also enter into one or more forward sales agreements (each, an “ATM forward contract”) with sales agents for the sale of our shares of common stock under our ATM Program.
During the threemonths ended March 31, 2022, no shares were settled under ATM forward contracts. Therefore, at March 31, 2022, 9.1 million shares remained outstanding under ATM forward contracts.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not issue any shares of our common stock under the ATM Program.
At March 31, 2022, $1.18 billion of our common stock remained available for sale under the ATM Program. Actual future sales of our common stock will depend upon a variety of factors, including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell any of the remaining shares under our ATM Program.
See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our ATM Program.
Shelf Registration
In May 2021, we filed a prospectus with the SEC as part of a registration statement on Form S-3, using an automatic shelf registration process. This shelf registration statement expires on May 13, 2024 and at or prior to such time, we expect to file a new shelf registration statement. Under the “shelf” process, we may sell any combination of the securities described in the prospectus through one or more offerings. The securities described in the prospectus include common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, and warrants.

(1)This amount can be reconciled by combining the balances from the corresponding line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the detailed financial information for discontinued operations in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2)The three months ended March 31, 2022 includes the following, which are included in other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations: (i) a $23 million gain on sale of a hospital that was in a direct financing lease and (ii) $14 million of expenses incurred for tenant relocation and other costs associated with a planned MOB demolition. The remaining activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 includes reserves for loan losses recognized in impairments and loan loss reserves (recoveries), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to use judgment in the application of critical accounting estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. A discussion of accounting estimates that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. We use derivative and other financial instruments in the normal course of business to mitigate interest rate risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Derivatives are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value (see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Interest Rate Risk. At March 31, 2022, our exposure to interest rate risk was primarily on our variable rate debt. At March 31, 2022, $142 million of our variable-rate debt was subject to interest rate cap agreements. The interest rate caps are non-designated hedges and manage our exposure to variable cash flows on certain mortgage debt borrowings by limiting interest rates. At March 31, 2022, both the fair value and carrying value of the interest rate caps were$2 million. In April 2022, we terminated these interest rate cap agreements and entered into two interest rate swap contracts that mature in May 2026. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, with the objective of managing the exposure to interest rate risk by converting the interest rates on our variable-rate debt to fixed interest rates.
Our remaining variable rate debt at March 31, 2022 was comprised of our Revolving Facility, commercial paper program, and certain of our mortgage debt. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt and assets until their maturity or earlier prepayment and refinancing. If interest rates have risen at the time we seek to refinance our fixed rate debt, whether at maturity or otherwise, our future earnings and cash flows could be adversely affected by additional borrowing costs. Conversely, lower interest rates at the time of refinancing may reduce our overall borrowing costs. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. At March 31, 2022, a one percentage point increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt by approximately $270 million and a one percentage point decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of our fixed rate debt by approximately $291 million. These changes would not materially impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, changes in interest rates on variable rate debt and investments would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not materially impact the fair value of those instruments. Assuming a one percentage point increase in the interest rate related to our variable-rate debt and investments, and assuming no other changes in the outstanding balance at March 31, 2022, our annual interest expense would increase by approximately$15 million.
Market Risk. We have investments in marketable debt securities classified as held-to-maturity because we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization of premiums and discounts through maturity. We consider a variety of factors in evaluating an other-than-temporary decline in value, such as: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than our current adjusted carrying value; the issuer’s financial condition, capital strength, and near-term prospects; any recent events specific to that issuer and economic conditions of its industry; and our investment horizon in relationship to an anticipated near-term recovery in the market value, if any. At March 31, 2022, both the fair value and carrying value of marketable debt securities was$21 million. These marketable debt securities mature in December 2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
There are no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
