1. |
General |
LTC Properties, Inc., a health care real estate investment trust ("REIT"), was incorporated on May 12, 1992 in the State of Maryland and commenced operations on August 25, 1992. We invest primarily in seniors housing and health care properties primarily through sale-leasebacks, mortgage financing, joint ventures and structured finance solutions including preferred equity and mezzanine lending. We conduct and manage our business as one operating segment, rather than multiple operating segments, for internal reporting and internal decision-making purposes. Our primary objectives are to create, sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in seniors housing and health care properties managed by experienced operators. Our primary seniors housing and health care property classifications include skilled nursing centers ("SNF"), assisted living communities ("ALF"), independent living communities ("ILF"), memory care communities ("MC") and combinations thereof. We also invest in other ("OTH") types of properties, such as land parcels, projects under development ("UDP") and behavioral health care hospitals. To meet these objectives, we attempt to invest in properties that provide opportunity for additional value and current returns to our stockholders and diversify our investment portfolio by geographic location, operator, property classification and form of investment.
We have prepared consolidated financial statements included herein without audit and in the opinion of management have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations governing the presentation of interim financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
We apply Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses ("ASC 326"), which requires a forward-looking "expected loss" model, to estimate our loan losses on our mortgage loans, financing receivables and notes receivable. In determining the "expected" credit loss reserves on these instruments, we utilize the probability of default and discounted cash flow methods. Further, we stress-test the results to reflect the impact of unknown adverse future events including recessions.
The expected credit losses related to our financial instruments that are within the scope of ASC 326 are as follows (in thousands):

receivable in a timely manner through our quarterly review of the loan and property performance. Therefore, we elected the policy to write off accrued interest receivable by recognizing credit loss expense. As of March 31, 2024, the total balance of accrued interest receivable of $55,842,000 was not included in the measurement of expected credit loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not recognize any write-off related to accrued interest receivable.
No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Our company qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As such, we generally are not taxed on income that is distributed to our stockholders.

Real Estate Investments |
Assisted living communities, independent living communities, memory care communities and combinations thereof are included in the assisted living property classification (collectively "ALF").
Any reference to the number of properties or facilities, number of units, number of beds, number of operators and yield on investments in real estate are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm's review of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Owned Properties. Our owned properties are leased pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases. Each lease is a triple net lease which requires the lessee to pay all taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, capital and non-capital expenditures and other costs necessary in the operations of the facilities. Many of the leases contain renewal options. The majority of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year.
The following table summarizes our investments in owned properties at March 31, 2024 (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1) | These communities were transitioned to an existing LTC operator. The new master lease includes a purchase option that can be exercised starting in November 2027 through October 2029 if the lessee exercises its four-yearextension option. Rent increases to $984in the second year, and $1,150in the third year. |
(2) | These communities were re-leased to Brookdale under a new master lease. Rent escalates by approximately 2.0%annually. The new master lease includes a purchase option that can be exercised in 2029. We also agreed to fund $7,200for capital expenditures for the first two yearsof the lease at an initial rate of 8.0%escalating by approximately 2.0%annually thereafter. |
(3) | These communities were transitioned to an operator new to us. Rent escalates by approximately 3.0%annually. |
(4) | Net of transaction costs and seller financing, if any. |
(5) | We provided seller financing collateralized by twoof the Florida properties, with a total of 92units. The $4,000seller-financed mortgage loan has a two-yearterm, with a one-yearextension, at an interest rate of 8.75%. |
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, a master lease covering 11 skilled nursing centers, that was scheduled to mature in January 2024, was renewed for seven months extending the maturity to August 2024. The master lease was renewed at the current annualized rent of $8,000,000, or $4,667,000 for seven months in 2024. The centers have a total of 1,444 beds and are located in Texas. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we executed a term sheet with the operator, to amend the master lease extending the term through December 2028. Annual rent will increase by $1,000,000 to $9,000,000 for 2024. Rent will increase to $9,500,000 for 2025, and $10,000,000 for 2026, escalating 3.3% annually thereafter. The amended master lease provides the operator with twofive-year renewal options. As a condition of the amendment, the operator will repay $11,900,000 on its $13,531,000 working capital note during the second quarter of 2024. Upon the repayment, the remaining balance of the working capital note will be interest-free and repaid in installments through 2028.
Additionally, subsequent to March 31, 2024, another operator exercised its renewal option under its master lease for five years, from March 2025 through February 2030. Annual cash and GAAP rent for 2024 are $8,004,000 and $7,049,000, respectively escalating 2.5% annually. The master lease covers 666

beds across four skilled nursing centers, three in Texas and one in Wisconsin, and a behavioral health care hospital in Nevada.
We monitor the collectability of our receivable balances, including deferred rent receivable balances, on an ongoing basis. We write-off uncollectible operator receivable balances, including straight- line rent receivable and lease incentives balances, as a reduction to rental income in the period such balances are no longer probable of being collected. Therefore, recognition of rental income is limited to the lesser of the amount of cash collected or rental income reflected on a "straight-line" basis for those customer receivable balances deemed uncollectible. We wrote-off straight-line rent receivable and lease incentives balances of $191,000 and $144,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as a result of property sales and lease terminations.
We continue to take into account the current financial condition of our operators, including consideration of the impact of COVID-19, in our estimation of uncollectible accounts at March 31, 2024. We are closely monitoring the collectability of such rents and will adjust future estimations as appropriate as further information becomes known.

(3) | During 2023, we entered into a JV that purchased 11ALFs and MCs with a total of 523units and leased the communities under a 10-yearmaster lease. The master lease provides the operator with the option to buy up to 50%of the properties at the beginning of the third lease year, and the remaining properties at the beginning of the fourth lease year through the end of the sixth lease year, with an exit IRR of 9.0%on any portion of the properties being purchased. For more information regarding this transaction see Financing Receivablesbelow. |

See above for more information. |
(6) | During 2022, we purchased fourskilled nursing centers and leased these properties under a 10-yearlease with an existing operator. The lease allows the operator to elect either an earn-out payment or purchase option. If neither option is elected within the timeframe defined in the lease, both elections are terminated. For more information regarding the earn-out see Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies. |

(2) | This community was sold during the three months ended March 31, 2024. |
Acquisitions. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we acquired a parcel of land in Kansas adjacent to an existing community operated by Brookdale for a total cost of $315,000. Rent was increased by 8%of our total cost of the investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we did not have any acquisitions.
Intangible Assets.We make estimates as part of our allocation of the purchase price of acquisitions to various components of acquisition based upon the fair value of each component. In determining fair value, we use current appraisals or other third-party opinions of value. The most significant components of our allocations are typically the allocation of fair value to land and buildings, and for certain of our acquisitions, in-place leases and other intangible assets. In the case of the value of in-place leases, we make the best estimates based on the evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. The following is a summary of the carrying amount of intangible assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

(1) | Calculation of net gain includes cost of sales and write-off of straight-line receivable and lease incentives, when applicable. |
(2) | Represents the price to sell our portion of interest in a JV, net of the JV partner's $2,305contributions in the joint venture. |
(3) | We recognized additional loss due to additional incurred costs related to properties sold during 2023. |
Financing Receivables. During 2023 and 2022, we entered into two joint ventures and contributed into the JVs for the purchase of properties through sale and leaseback transactions. Concurrently, each of these JVs leased the purchased properties back to an affiliate of the seller and provided the seller-lessee with purchase options. We determined that each of these sale and leaseback transactions meet the accounting criteria to be presented as Financing receivables on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded the rental revenue from these properties as Interest income from financing receivables on our Consolidated Statements of Income.
The following tables provide information regarding our investments in financing receivables (dollar amounts in thousands):

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures |
We have preferred equity investments in two joint ventures. We determined that each of these JVs meets the accounting criteria to be considered a variable interest entity ("VIE"). We are not the primary beneficiary of the JVs as we do not have both: 1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the JVs' economic performance, and 2) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. However, we do have significant influence over the JVs. Therefore, we have accounted for the JVs using the equity method of accounting. The following table provides information regarding these preferred equity investments (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1) | Our investment represents 15.5%of the total investment. The preferred equity investment earns an initial cash rate of 7%increasing to 9%in year four until the internal rate of return ("IRR") is 8%. After achieving an 8%IRR, the cash rate drops to 8%with an IRR ranging between 12%to 14%, depending upon timing of redemption. We have the option to require the JV partner to purchase our preferred equity interest at any time between August 17, 2031 and December 31, 2036. |
(2) | Our investment represents 11.6%of the estimated total investment. The preferred equity investment earns an initial cash rate of 8%with an IRR of 14%. The JV partner has the option to buy out our investment at any time after August 31, 2023 at the IRR rate. Also, we have the option to require the JV partner to purchase our preferred equity interest at any time between August 31, 2027 and, upon project completion and leasing the property, prior to the end of the first renewal term of the lease. |
(3) | Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we originated a $12,700mortgage loan to a current operator in order to acquire a skilled nursing and assisted living campus in Texas. The mortgage loan is secured by this property. In accordance with GAAP, this mortgage loan was determined to be an acquisition, development and construction ("ADC") loan and will be accounted for as an unconsolidated JV. The campus was built in 2017 and includes 78units (48 skilled nursing and 30 assisted living) and 104licensed beds (70 skilled nursing and 34 assisted living). The five-yearmortgage loan is interest only at a current rate of 9.15%. |

Non-contingent lease incentives represent payments made to our lessees for various reasons including entering into a new lease or lease amendments and extensions. Contingent lease incentives represent potential contingent earn-out payments that may be made to our lessees in the future, as part of our lease agreements. From time to time, we may commit to provide contingent payments to our lessees, upon our properties achieving certain rent coverage ratios. Once the contingent payment becomes probable and estimable, the contingent payment is recorded as a lease incentive. Lease incentives are amortized as a yield adjustment to rental income over the remaining life of the lease.

Debt Obligations |
Unsecured Credit Facility. We had an unsecured credit agreement (the "Original Credit Agreement") that provided for an aggregate commitment of the lenders of up to $500,000,000 comprising of a $400,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Line of Credit") and two $50,000,000 term loans (the "Term Loans"). The Term Loans mature on November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026. The Revolving Line of Credit had a maturity date of November 19, 2025 and provided a one-year extension option at our discretion, subject to customary conditions. During the first quarter of 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Original Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to accelerate our one-year extension option notice to January 4, 2024. Concurrently, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date to November 19, 2026. Other material terms of the Original Credit Agreement remained unchanged. The Credit Agreement permits us to request increases to the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loans commitments up to a total of $1,000,000,000.
Based on our leverage at March 31, 2024, the facility provides for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 115 basis points and a facility fee of 20 basis points and the Term Loans provide for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 135 basis points.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements.In connection with entering into the Term Loans described above, we entered into two receive variable/pay fixed interest rate swap agreements (the "Interest Rate Swaps") with maturities of November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026, respectively, that will effectively lock-in the forecasted interest payments on the Term Loans' borrowings over their fourand five year terms of the loans. The Interest Rate Swaps are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value in Prepaid expenses and other assets, with cumulative changes

Senior Unsecured Notes. We have senior unsecured notes held by institutional investors with interest rates ranging from 3.66% to 5.03%. The senior unsecured notes mature between 2024 and 2033.
The senior unsecured notes and the Credit Agreement, including the Revolving Line of Credit and the Term Loans, contain financial covenants, which are measured quarterly, that require us to maintain, among other things:
● | a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value not greater than 0.6to 1.0; |
● | a ratio of secured debt to total asset value not greater than 0.35to 1.0; |
● | a ratio of unsecured debt to the value of the unencumbered asset value not greater than 0.6to 1.0; and |
● | a ratio of EBITDA, as calculated in the debt obligation, to fixed charges not less than 1.50to 1.0. |
At March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. These debt obligations also contain additional customary covenants and events of default that are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.

Equity |
Non-controlling Interests. We have entered into partnerships to develop and/or own real estate. Given that our limited members do not have the substantive kick-out rights, liquidation rights, or participation rights, we have concluded that the partnerships are VIEs. As we exercise power over and receive benefits from the VIEs, we are considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we consolidate the VIEs and record the non-controlling interests on the consolidated financial statements.
As of March 31, 2024, we have the following consolidated VIEs (in thousands):

Stock-Based Compensation. During 2021, we adopted and our shareholders approved the 2021 Equity Participation Plan ("the 2021 Plan") which replaces the 2015 Equity Participation Plan ("the 2015 Plan"). Under the 2021 Plan, 1,900,000 shares of common stock have been authorized and reserved for awards, less one share for every one share that was subject to an award granted under the 2015 Plan after December 31, 2020 and prior to adoption. In addition, any shares that are not issued under outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan because the shares were forfeited or cancelled after December 31, 2020 will be added to and again be available for awards under the 2021 Plan. Under the 2021 Plan, the shares were authorized and reserved for awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The terms of the awards granted under the 2021 Plan and the 2015 Plan are set by our compensation

The master lease allows either an earn-out payment up to $3,000or a purchase option. The earn-out payment is available, contingent on achieving certain thresholds per the lease, beginning at the end of the second lease year through the end of the fifth lease year. If neither option is elected within the timeframe defined in the lease, both elections are terminated. For more information regarding the purchase option see Note 2. Real Estate Investments. |

We are a party from time to time to various general and professional liability claims and lawsuits asserted against the lessees or borrowers of our properties, which in our opinion are not singularly or in the aggregate material to our results of operations or financial condition. These types of claims and lawsuits may include matters involving general or professional liability, which we believe under applicable legal principles are not our responsibility as a non-possessory landlord or mortgage holder. We believe that these matters are the responsibility of our lessees and borrowers pursuant to general legal principles and pursuant to insurance and indemnification provisions in the applicable leases or mortgages. We intend to continue to vigorously defend such claims.

Fair Value Measurements |
In accordance with the accounting guidance regarding the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, entities are permitted to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings. We did not elect the fair value option for any of our financial assets and financial liabilities.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. We do not invest our cash in auction rate securities.

(2) | Our investment in mortgage loans receivable is classified as Level 3. The fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate is determined using our assumption on market conditions adjusted for market and credit risk and current returns on our investments. The discount rate used to value our future cash inflows of the mortgage loans receivable at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was 9.2%. |
(3) | Our investments in notes receivable are classified as Level 3. The discount rate is determined using our assumption on market conditions adjusted for market and credit risk and current returns on our investments. The discount rate used to value our future cash flows of the notes receivable at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was 6.9%. |

(5) | Our obligation under our senior unsecured notes is classified as Level 3 and thus the fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate is measured based upon management's estimates of rates currently prevailing for comparable loans available to us, and instruments of comparable maturities. At March 31, 2024, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 6.5%for those maturing before year 2030 and 6.75%for those maturing at or beyond year 2030. At December 31, 2023, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 6.5%for those maturing before year 2030 and 6.75%for those maturing at or beyond year 2030. |

property. In accordance with GAAP, this mortgage loan was determined to be an acquisition, development and construction ("ADC") loan and will be accounted for as an unconsolidated joint venture. The campus was built in 2017 and includes 78 units (48 skilled nursing and 30 assisted living) and 104 licensed beds (70 skilled nursing and 34 assisted living). The five-year loan is interest-only at a current rate of 9.15%.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains 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, adopted pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not purely historical may be forward-looking. You can identify some of the forward-looking statements by their use of forward-looking words, such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "intends," "plans," "estimates" or "anticipates," or the negative of those words or similar words. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties regarding events, conditions and financial trends that may affect our future plans of operation, business strategy, results of operations and financial position. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those included within or contemplated by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our dependence on our operators for revenue and cash flow; the duration and extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; government regulation of the health care industry; federal and state health care cost containment measures including reductions in reimbursement from third-party payors such as Medicare and Medicaid; required regulatory approvals for operation of health care facilities; a failure to comply with federal, state, or local regulations for the operation of health care facilities; the adequacy of insurance coverage maintained by our operators; our reliance on a few major operators; our ability to renew leases or enter into favorable terms of renewals or new leases; the impact of inflation, operator financial or legal difficulties; the sufficiency of collateral securing mortgage loans; an impairment of our real estate investments; the relative illiquidity of our real estate investments; our ability to develop and complete construction projects; our ability to invest cash proceeds for health care properties; a failure to qualify as a REIT; our ability to grow if access to capital is limited; and a failure to maintain or increase our dividend. For a discussion of these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements, please see the discussion under "Risk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in our publicly available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake any responsibility to update or revise any of these factors or to announce publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Executive Overview
Business and Investment Strategy
We are a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that invests in seniors housing and health care properties through sale-leaseback, financing receivables, mortgage financing, joint ventures and structured finance solutions including preferred equity and mezzanine lending. Our primary objectives are to create, sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in seniors housing and health care properties managed by experienced operators.
28
Table of Contents
The following graph summarizes our gross investments as of March 31, 2024:
Our primary seniors housing and health care property classifications include skilled nursing centers ("SNF"), assisted living communities ("ALF"), independent living communities ("ILF"), memory care communities ("MC") and combinations thereof. We also invest in other ("OTH") types of properties, such as land parcels, projects under development ("UDP") and behavioral health care hospitals. To meet these objectives, we attempt to invest in properties that provide opportunity for additional value and current returns to our stockholders and diversify our investment portfolio by geographic location, operator, property classification and form of investment.
We conduct and manage our business as one operating segment for internal reporting and internal decision-making purposes. For purposes of this quarterly report and other presentations, we generally include ALF, ILF, MC, and combinations thereof in the ALF classification. As of March 31, 2024, seniors housing and health care properties comprised approximately 99.3% of our gross investment portfolio. We have been operating since August 1992.
Substantially all of our revenues and sources of cash flows from operations are derived from operating lease rentals, interest earned on financing receivable, interest earned on outstanding loans receivable and income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. Income from our investments represent our primary source of liquidity to fund distributions and are dependent upon the performance of the operators on their lease and loan obligations and the rates earned thereon. To the extent that the operators experience operating difficulties and are unable to generate sufficient cash to make payments to us, there could be a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, we monitor our investments through a variety of methods
29
Table of Contents
determined by property type and operator. Our monitoring process includes periodic review of financial statements for each facility, periodic review of operator credit, scheduled property inspections and review of covenant compliance.
In addition to our monitoring and research efforts, we also structure our investments to help mitigate payment risk. Some operating leases and loans are credit enhanced by guaranties and/or letters of credit. In addition, operating leases are typically structured as master leases and loans are generally cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with other loans, operating leases or agreements between us and the operator and its affiliates.
Depending upon the availability and cost of external capital, we anticipate making additional investments in health care related properties. New investments are generally funded from cash on hand, proceeds from periodic asset sales, temporary borrowings under our unsecured revolving line of credit and internally generated cash flows. Our investments generate internal cash from rent and interest receipts and principal payments on loan receivables and income from unconsolidated joint ventures. Permanent financing for future investments, which replaces funds drawn under our unsecured revolving line of credit, is expected to be provided through a combination of public and private offerings of debt and equity securities. We could also look to secured and unsecured debt financing. The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by financing activities and used in investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets' environment, especially to changes in interest rates. Changes in the capital markets' environment may impact the availability of cost-effective capital.
We believe our business model has enabled and will continue to enable us to maintain the integrity of our property investments, including in response to financial difficulties that may be experienced by operators. Traditionally, we have taken a conservative approach to managing our business, choosing to maintain liquidity and exercise patience until favorable investment opportunities arise.

As of March 31, 2024, we had $1.7 billion in net carrying value of investments, consisting of $1.0 billion or 55.9% invested in owned and leased properties, $196.0 million or 11.4% invested in financing receivables, $0.5 billion or 28.1% invested in mortgage loans secured by first mortgages, $59.9 million or 3.5% in notes receivable and $19.3 million or 1.1% in unconsolidated joint ventures.
Rental income, income from financing receivables and interest income from mortgage loans represented 65.3%, 7.5% and 24.2%, respectively, of Total revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2024. In most instances, our lease structure contains fixed annual rental escalations and/or annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index. Certain leases have annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the gross operating revenues of the property. This revenue is not recognized until the appropriate contingencies have been resolved.
Many of our existing leases contain renewal options that, if exercised, could result in the amount of rent payable upon renewal being greater or less than that currently being paid. During 2023, Brookdale Senior Living Communities, Inc. ("Brookdale") elected not to exercise its renewal option under a master lease that matured on December 31, 2023. The 35-community assisted living portfolio was apportioned as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1) | These communities were transitioned to an existing LTC operator. The new master lease includes a purchase option that can be exercised starting in November 2027 through October 2029 if the lessee exercises its four-year extension option. Rent increases to $984 in the second year, and $1,150 in the third year. |
(2) | These communities were re-leased to Brookdale under a new master lease. Rent escalates by approximately 2.0% annually. The new master lease includes a purchase option that can be exercised in 2029. We also agreed to fund $7,200 for capital expenditures for the first two years of the lease at an initial rate of 8.0% escalating by approximately 2.0% annually thereafter. |
(3) | These communities were transitioned to an operator new to us. Rent escalates by approximately 3.0% annually. |
(4) | Net of transaction costs and seller financing, if any. |
(5) | We provided seller financing collateralized by two of the Florida properties, with a total of 92 units. The $4,000 seller-financed mortgage loan has a two-year term, with a one-year extension, at an interest rate of 8.75%. |
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, a master lease covering 11 skilled nursing centers, that was scheduled to mature in January 2024, was renewed for seven months extending the maturity to August 2024. The master lease was renewed at the current annualized rent of $8.0 million or $4.7 million for seven months in 2024. The centers have a total of 1,444 beds and are located in Texas.

Table of Contents
Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we executed a term sheet with the operator, to amend the master lease extending the term through December 2028. Annual rent will increase by $1.0 million to $9.0 million for 2024. Rent will increase to $9.5 million for 2025, and $10.0 million for 2026, escalating 3.3% annually thereafter. The amended master lease provides the operator with two five-year renewal options. As a condition of the amendment, the operator will repay $11.9 million on its $13.5 million working capital note during the second quarter of 2024. Upon the repayment, the remaining balance of the working capital note will be interest-free and repaid in installments through 2028.
Subsequent to March 31, 2024, another operator exercised its renewal option under its master lease for five years, from March 2025 through February 2030. Annual cash and GAAP rent for 2024 are $8.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively escalating 2.5% annually. The master lease covers 666 beds across four skilled nursing centers, three in Texas and one in Wisconsin and a behavioral health care hospital in Nevada.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded $0.6 million in straight-line rental adjustment reflecting higher cash rent received than recorded as rental income and amortization of lease incentive cost of $233,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received $34.3 million of cash rental income, which includes $3.4 million of operator reimbursements for real estate taxes. At March 31, 2024, the straight-line rent receivable balance on the consolidated balance sheet was $19.1 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded $12.4 million in Interest income from mortgage loans which includes $11.1 million of interest received in cash, $52,000 of income from interest reserves and $1.3 million in mortgage loans effective interest. At March, 31, 2024, the mortgage loans effective interest receivable which is included in the Interest receivable line item in our Consolidated Balance Sheets was $50.9 million.
Update on Certain Operators
Prestige Healthcare
Prestige Healthcare ("Prestige") operates 22 skilled nursing centers located in Michigan secured under four mortgage loans and two skilled nursing centers located in South Carolina under a master lease. Prestige is our largest operator based upon revenues and assets representing 16.0% of our total revenues and 14.6% of our total assets as of March 31, 2024. During the second quarter of 2023, we agreed to defer up to $1.5 million, or up to $0.3 million per month for May through September 2023, in interest payments due on one of Prestige's mortgage loans secured by 15 skilled nursing centers in Michigan.
33
Table of Contents
During the fourth quarter of 2023, we amended the mortgage loan with Prestige which was subject to the previously agreed upon interest deferral. Effective January 1, 2024, the minimum mortgage interest payment due to us is based on an annual current pay rate of 8.5% on the outstanding loan balance of $183.3 million. The current contractual interest rate on the loan of 10.8% remains unchanged. The amendment also provides us the right to draw on Prestige's security to pay the difference between the contractual rate and current pay rate. We received all 2023 contractual interest of $19.5 million due from Prestige after applying $3.4 million of its security. Full contractual interest was received through April 2024 from payments received from Prestige and application of securities. We expect to receive full contractual cash interest through at least 2025. During the first quarter of 2024, Prestige increased the security from its receipt of retroactive Medicaid funds. Accordingly, we currently hold a security of $4.0 million. Additional retro-active Medicaid payments received by Prestige in 2024 will be remitted to us as security. The following table summarizes the activity of Prestige's security:

Other Operators
During the third quarter of 2022, a portfolio of 12 assisted living communities was temporarily transitioned to an existing operator under a two-year master lease. The temporary transition allowed us to find a more permanent solution for the portfolio as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1) | Subsequent to March 31, 2024, one community within this portfolio in Texas was transitioned to another operator new to us and we sold two closed properties within this portfolio located in Texas for $500 and received proceeds of approximately $400, net of transaction costs. |
Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, a master lease covering 11 skilled nursing centers that was scheduled to mature in January 2024 was renewed for seven months extending the maturity to August 2024. The master lease was renewed at the current annualized rent of $8.0 million, or $4.7 million for seven months in 2024. The centers have a total of 1,444 beds and are located in Texas. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we executed a term sheet with the operator, to amend the master lease extending the term through December 2028. Annual rent will increase by $1.0 million to $9.0 million for 2024. Rent will increase to $9.5 million for 2025, and $10.0 million for 2026, escalating 3.3% annually thereafter. The amended master lease provides the operator with two five-year renewal options. As a condition of the amendment, the operator will repay $11.9 million on its $13.5 million working capital note during the second quarter of 2024. Upon the repayment, the remaining balance of the working capital note will be interest-free and repaid in installments through 2028.

(1) | Our investment represents 15.5% of the total investment. The preferred equity investment earns an initial cash rate of 7% increasing to 9% in year four until the internal rate of return ("IRR") is 8%. After achieving an 8% IRR, the cash rate drops to 8% with an IRR ranging between 12% to 14%, depending upon timing of redemption. We have the option to require the JV partner to purchase our preferred equity interest at any time between August 17, 2031 and December 31, 2036. |
(2) | Our investment represents 11.6% of the estimated total investment. The preferred equity investment earns an initial cash rate of 8% with an IRR of 14%. The JV partner has the option to buy out our investment at any time after August 31, 2023 at the IRR rate. Also, we have the option to require the JV partner to purchase our preferred equity interest at any time between August 31, 2027 and, upon project completion and leasing the property, prior to the end of the first renewal term of the lease. |
(3) | Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we originated a $12,700 mortgage loan secured by a skilled nursing and assisted living campus in Texas. In accordance with GAAP, this mortgage loan will be accounted for as an unconsolidated JV. The campus was built in 2017 and includes 78 units (48 skilled nursing and 30 assisted living) and 104 licensed beds (70 skilled nursing and 34 assisted living). The five-year mortgage loan is interest only at a current rate of 9.15% and is expected to generate revenue of approximately $884 in 2024. |

Health Care Regulatory
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") annually updates Medicare skilled nursing facility ("SNF") prospective payment system rates and other policies. On July 21, 2023, CMS issued a final rule to update SNF rates and policies for fiscal year 2024. CMS estimated that the aggregate impact of the payment policies in the final rule would result in a net increase of 4.0%, or approximately $1.4 billion, in Medicare Part A payments to SNFs in fiscal year 2024. In addition, the final rule included updates to the SNF Quality Reporting Program and the SNF Value-Based Purchasing Program for fiscal year 2024 and future years, including the adoption of a measure intended to address staff turnover, as outlined in the President's Executive Order 14070 Increasing Access to High-Quality Care and Supporting Caregivers. Finally, the rule finalized a constructive waiver process to ease administrative burdens for CMS related to processing civil monetary penalty appeals. On March 28, 2024, CMS issued a proposed rule that would update Medicare payment policies and rates for SNFs for fiscal year 2025. For fiscal year 2025, CMS proposed updating SNF prospective payment system rates by 4.1% based on the proposed SNF market basket of 2.8%, plus a 1.7% market basket forecast error adjustment, and a negative 0.4% productivity adjustment. Among other things the proposed rule includes revisions to CMS's existing nursing home enforcement authority. In the proposed rule, CMS proposes to expand the penalties that can be imposed through regulatory revision to allow for more per instance and per day civil monetary penalties to be imposed. In addition CMS also proposed several operational and administrative proposals for the SNF Value-Based Purchasing Program.
On April 22, 2024, CMS issued the Minimum Staffing Standards for Long-Term Care Facilities and Medicaid Institutional Payment Transparency Reporting final rule. The final rule sets forth new comprehensive minimum staffing requirements. It finalizes a total nurse staffing standard of 3.48 hours per resident day, which must include at least 0.55 hours per resident day of direct registered nurse care

Table of Contents
and 2.45 hours per resident day of direct nurse aide care. Facilities may use any combination of nurse staff (registered nurse, licensed practical nurse and licensed vocational nurse, or nurse aide) to account for the additional 0.48 hours per resident day needed to comply with the total nurse staffing standard. CMS also finalized enhanced facility assessment requirements and a requirement to have a registered nurse onsite 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to provide skilled nursing care. The final rule also provides a staggered implementation timeframe of the minimum nurse staffing standards and 24/7 registered nurse requirement based on geographic location as well as possible exemptions for qualifying facilities for some parts of these requirements based on workforce unavailability and other factors. The implementation and timeframe of the final rule may be subject to further revision or deferral due to expected litigation and potential legislation or administration changes.
There can be no assurance that these rules or future regulations modifying Medicare skilled nursing facility payment rates or other requirements for Medicare and/or Medicaid participation will not have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our borrowers and lessees which could, in turn, adversely impact the timing or level of their payments to us. Failure by an operator to comply with regulatory requirements can, among other things, jeopardize a facility's compliance with the conditions of participation under relevant federal and state healthcare programs. Further the ability of our operators to comply with applicable regulations, including minimum staffing requirements, can be adversely impacted by changes in the labor market and increases in inflation.
Key Performance Indicators, Trends and Uncertainties
We utilize several key performance indicators to evaluate the various aspects of our business. These indicators are discussed below and relate to concentration risk and credit strength. Management uses these key performance indicators to facilitate internal and external comparisons to our historical operating results in making operating decisions and for budget planning purposes.
Concentration Risk. We evaluate by gross investment our concentration risk in terms of asset mix, real estate investment mix, operator mix and geographic mix. Concentration risk is valuable to understand what portion of our real estate investments could be at risk if certain sectors were to experience downturns. Asset mix measures the portion of our investments that are real property or mortgage loans. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), an organization representing U.S. REITs and publicly traded real estate companies, classifies a company with 50% or more of assets directly or indirectly in the equity ownership of real estate as an equity REIT. Investment mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our various property classifications. Operator mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our top five operators. Geographic mix measures the portion of our real estate investment that relate to our top five states.

Credit Strength. We measure our credit strength both in terms of leverage ratios and coverage ratios. Our leverage ratios include debt to gross asset value and debt to market capitalization. The leverage ratios indicate how much of our Consolidated Balance Sheets capitalization is related to long-term obligations. Our coverage ratios include interest coverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. The coverage ratios indicate our ability to service interest and fixed charges (interest). The coverage ratios are based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate ("EBITDAre") as defined by NAREIT. EBITDAreis calculated as net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) real estate depreciation and amortization, (iv) impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, (v) gains or losses on the sale of depreciable real estate, and (vi) adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Leverage ratios and coverage ratios are widely used by investors, analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. The following table reflects the recent historical trends for our credit strength measures:

(1) | Decreased due to decrease in outstanding debt partially offset by decrease in gross asset value. |
(2) | Decreased due to decrease in outstanding debt and increase in market capitalization from issuance of common stock. |
(3) | Increased due to decrease in interest expense. |
(4) | Increased due to decrease in market capitalization and increase in outstanding debt. |
(5) | Decreased due to increase in interest expense partially offset by increase in interest income from mortgage loans and other notes receivable. |
(6) | Increased due to increase in outstanding debt partially offset by increase in gross asset value. |
(7) | In calculating our interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios above, we use EBITDAre, which is a financial measure not derived in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP financial measure). EBITDAreis not an alternative to net income, operating income or cash flows from operating activities as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should not rely on EBITDAreas a substitute for any such GAAP financial measures or consider it in isolation, for the purpose of analyzing our financial performance, financial position or cash flows. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDAre. |

We evaluate our key performance indicators in conjunction with current expectations to determine if historical trends are indicative of future results. Our expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. This may be a result of various factors, including, but not limited to
● | The status of the economy; |

Table of Contents
● | The status of capital markets, including prevailing interest rates; |
● | Compliance with and changes to regulations and payment policies within the health care industry; |
● | Changes in financing terms; |
● | Competition within the health care and seniors housing industries; and |
● | Changes in federal, state and local legislation. |
Additionally, the effects of inflation, COVID-19 and the pace of recovery from COVID-19 on our operators adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Depending on the future developments regarding inflation, COVID-19 and the pace of recovery from its effects, historical trends reflected in our balance sheet metrics may not be achieved in the future.
Management regularly monitors the economic and other factors listed above. We develop strategic and tactical plans designed to improve performance and maximize our competitive position. Our ability to achieve our financial objectives is dependent upon our ability to effectively execute these plans and to appropriately respond to emerging economic and company-specific trends.

Funds From Operations Available to Common Stockholders
Funds from Operations ("FFO") attributable to common stockholders, basic FFO attributable to common stockholders per share and diluted FFO attributable to common stockholders per share are supplemental measures of a REIT's financial performance that are not defined by GAAP. Real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, but cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. We believe that by excluding the effect of historical cost depreciation, which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods.
We use FFO as a supplemental performance measurement of our cash flow generated by operations. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income available to common stockholders.
We calculate and report FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, means net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on the sale of real estate and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from us; therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing our FFO to that of other REITs.
The following table reconciles GAAP net income available to common stockholders to NAREIT FFO available to common stockholders (unaudited, amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
As of March 31, 2024, we had a total of $9.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, $123.0 million available under our unsecured revolving line of credit and the potential ability to access the capital markets through the issuance of $71.5 million of common stock under our Equity Distribution Agreements. Furthermore, we have the ability to access the capital markets through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities under an automatic shelf registration statement.
We believe that our current cash balance, cash flow from operations available for distribution or reinvestment, our borrowing capacity and our potential ability to access the capital markets are sufficient to provide for payment of our current operating costs, meet debt obligations and pay common dividends at least sufficient to maintain our REIT status and repay borrowings at, or prior to, their maturity. The timing, source and amount of cash flows used in financing and investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets environment, especially to changes in interest rates. In addition, COVID-19 and inflation have adversely affected our operators' business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition which could, in turn, adversely affect our financial position.
The operating results of the facilities will be impacted by various factors over which the operators/owners may have no control. Those factors include, without limitation, the health of the economy, inflation pressures, employee availability and cost, changes in supply of or demand for competing seniors housing and health care facilities, ability to hire and maintain qualified staff, ability to control other rising operating costs, and the potential for significant reforms in the health care industry and related occupancy challenges in the governmental regulations and financing of the health care industry or the impact of any other infectious disease and epidemic outbreaks. We cannot presently predict what impact these potential events may have, if any. We believe that adequate provision has been made for the possibility of loans proving uncollectable but we will continually evaluate the financial status of the operations of the seniors housing and health care properties. In addition, we will monitor our borrowers and the underlying collateral for mortgage loans and will make future revisions to the provision, if considered necessary.
Depending on our borrowing capacity, compliance with financial covenants, ability to access the capital markets, and the payment of dividends may be negatively impacted. We continuously evaluate the availability of cost-effective capital and believe we have sufficient liquidity for our current dividend, corporate expenses and additional capital investments in 2024.
Our investments, principally our investments in owned properties, financing receivables and mortgage loans, are subject to the possibility of loss of their carrying values as a result of changes in market prices, interest rates and inflationary expectations. The effects on interest rates may affect our costs of financing our operations and the fair market value of our financial assets. Generally, our leases have agreed upon annual increases and our loans have predetermined increases in interest rates. Inasmuch as we may initially fund some of our investments with variable interest rate debt, we would be at risk of net interest margin deterioration if medium and long-term rates were to increase.
Our primary sources of cash include rent and interest receipts, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, public and private issuances of debt and equity securities, proceeds from investment dispositions and principal payments on loans receivable. Our primary uses of cash include dividend distributions, debt service payments (including principal and interest), real property investments (including acquisitions, capital expenditures and construction advances), loan advances and general and

Debt Obligations
Unsecured Credit Facility. We had an unsecured credit agreement (the "Original Credit Agreement") that provided for an aggregate commitment of the lenders of up to $500.0 million comprising of a $400.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Line of Credit") and two $50.0 million term loans (the "Term Loans"). The Term Loans mature on November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026. The Revolving Line of Credit had a maturity date of November 19, 2025 and provided a one-year extension option at our discretion, subject to customary conditions. During the first quarter of 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Original Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to accelerate our one-year extension option notice to January 4, 2024. Concurrently, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date to November 19, 2026. Other material terms of the Original Credit Agreement remained unchanged. The Credit Agreement permits us to request increases to the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loans commitments up to a total of $1.0 billion.
Based on our leverage at March 31, 2024, the facility provides for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 115 basis points and a facility fee of 20 basis points and the Term Loans provide for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 135 basis points.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements.In connection with entering into the Term Loans as described above, we entered into two receive variable/pay fixed interest rate swap agreements (the "Interest Rate Swaps") with maturities of November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026, respectively, that will effectively lock-in the forecasted interest payments on the Term Loans' borrowings over their four and five year terms of the loans. The Interest Rate Swaps are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair value of these instruments recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded an increase of $0.4 million in fair value of Interest Rate Swaps.
As of March 31, 2024, the terms of the Interest Rate Swaps are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

Senior Unsecured Notes. We have senior unsecured notes held by institutional investors with interest rates ranging from 3.66% to 5.03%. The senior unsecured notes mature between 2024 and 2033.
44
Table of Contents
The senior unsecured notes and the Credit Agreement, including the Revolving Line of Credit and the Term Loans, contain financial covenants, which are measured quarterly, that require us to maintain, among other things:
● | a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value not greater than 0.6 to 1.0; |
● | a ratio of secured debt to total asset value not greater than 0.35 to 1.0; |
● | a ratio of unsecured debt to the value of the unencumbered asset value not greater than 0.6 to 1.0; and |
● | a ratio of EBITDA, as calculated in the debt obligation, to fixed charges not less than 1.50 to 1.0. |
At March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. These debt obligations also contain additional customary covenants and events of default that are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.

At-The-Market Program. We have separate equity distribution agreements (collectively, "Equity Distribution Agreements") to offer and sell, from time to time, up to $200.0 million in aggregate offering price of shares of our common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold 139,100 shares of common stock for $4.5 million in net proceeds under our Equity Distribution Agreements. In conjunction with the sale of common stock, we incurred $0.1 million of costs associated with this agreement which have been recorded in additional paid in capital as a reduction of proceeds received. At March 31, 2024, we had $71.5 million available under the Equity Distribution Agreements. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we sold 204,700 shares of common stock for $6.5 million in net proceeds under our Equity Distribution Agreements. Accordingly, we have $64.9 million available under our Equity Distribution Agreements after the sale of these additional shares.
Available Shelf Registrations. We have an automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC and currently have the ability to file additional automatic shelf registration statements to provide us with capacity to publicly offer an indeterminate amount of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt, depositary shares, or units. We may from time to time raise capital under our automatic registration statement in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of the offering. Our shelf registration statement expires on February 17, 2025.
Stock-Based Compensation. During the second quarter of 2021, we adopted and our shareholders approved the 2021 Equity Participation Plan ("the 2021 Plan") which replaces the 2015 Equity Participation Plan ("the 2015 Plan"). Under the 2021 Plan, 1,900,000 shares of common stock have been authorized and reserved for awards, less one share for every one share that was subject to an award granted under the 2015 Plan after December 31, 2020 and prior to adoption. In addition, any shares that are not issued under outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan because the shares were forfeited or cancelled after December 31, 2020 will be added to and again be available for awards under the 2021 Plan. Under the 2021 Plan, the shares were authorized and reserved for awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The terms of the awards granted under the 2021 Plan and the 2015 Plan are set by our compensation committee at its discretion.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we awarded restricted stock and performance-based stock units as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying footnotes. We base these estimates on our experience and assumptions regarding future events we believe to be reasonable under the

Table of Contents
circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. We have described our most critical accounting policies in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2023.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There were no material changes in our market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2024. For additional information, refer to Item 7A as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). As of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are and may become from time to time a party to various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, which in our opinion are not singularly or in the aggregate anticipated to be material to our results of operations or financial condition. Claims and lawsuits may include matters involving general or professional liability asserted against the lessees or borrowers related to our properties, which we believe under applicable legal principles are not our responsibility as a non-possessory landlord or mortgage holder. We believe that these matters are the responsibility of our lessees and borrowers pursuant to general legal principles and pursuant to insurance and indemnification provisions in the applicable leases or mortgages. We intend to continue to vigorously defend such claims and lawsuits.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
