• Weighted average lease term was 5.8 years with an average annual escalator of 3.1%.
• Health system leasing comprised approximately 48% of our signed lease volume in the quarter.

• Dallas, TX. 19,000 square foot new lease with a premier national healthcare service provider on a Baylor Scott & White Health campus, increasing the building to approximately 100% leased

• Seattle, WA. 25,000 square foot renewal in our fully occupied on-campus building on Multicare's Overlake Medical Center in the Bellevue submarket representing a 22% cash leasing spread

CAPITAL ALLOCATION

Dispositions

During the third quarter and through October, the Company made further progress on its previously identified disposition portfolio through 15 different transactions for a total of $404 million. A summary of the significant sale transactions is as follows:

• Columbus, OH. Monetization of three off-campus MOBs sold to the affiliated health system for $34 million
• Milwaukee, WI. Strategic market exit of Milwaukee MSA with the $60 million sale of two MOBs to the affiliated health system
• Chicago, IL. Reduced exposure to this non-core market through the sale of an off campus property to a health system for $19 million
• Tampa, FL. Opportunistic sale of a fully stabilized asset to the affiliated health system at premium valuation of $22 million   
• Dallas, TX. Sale of four on-campus properties to the affiliated health system for $59 million in conjunction with securing material new and renewal lease executions
• Richmond, VA. The Company is under contract to sell its six, fully-leased MOBs in the Richmond, VA MSA for $171 million, harvesting full value at attractive market pricing. The sale would represent a full exit from Richmond, where we have observed few future growth opportunities. Due diligence has expired, and the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter, subject to customary closing conditions

Development and Redevelopment

During the third quarter, the Company made significant progress on its development and redevelopment pipeline, advancing several key projects across major markets. Highlights include:

• Fort Worth, TX. Recently delivered our 101,000 square foot, $48 million development that is currently 72% leased. This building represents our third on Baylor Scott & White’s All Saints campus
• Seattle, WA. Located in the dense Northgate submarket where the Company owns three fully-leased properties on and adjacent to the UW Medical Center - Northwest campus. The $13.6 million redevelopment will transform this building into a modern outpatient facility to drive occupancy and rent growth
• Denver, CO. Part of a three-MOB portfolio located adjacent to the growing UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital campus in the Highlands Ranch submarket. The $7.3 million redevelopment of this mixed-use outpatient campus will allow the Company to upgrade to modern clinical suites at superior rental rates
• Charlotte, NC. The Company's third medical conversion project in the growing Huntersville submarket. The $19.2 million redevelopment will capture growth from the adjacent Novant Huntersville hospital

Balance Sheet

Debt paydown from asset sales has decreased run-rate Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA to 5.8x. By year-end, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be between 5.4x - 5.7x. Through October and inclusive of asset sales, the Company has approximately $1.3 billion of liquidity.

In October, the Company fully repaid the $151 million term loan due May 2027.

1. 3Q 2025 Other assets, net includes $55.7 million of proceeds held in a cash escrow account from a portfolio disposition that closed on September 30, 2025 and was received by the Company on October 1, 2025.

1. Normalizing items primarily include restructuring, severance-related costs and non-routine advisory fees associated with shareholder engagement.
2. Potential common shares are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when a loss exists, as the effect would be an antidilutive per share amount. As a result, the outstanding limited partnership units in the Company's operating partnership ("OP"), totaling 4,253,989 units were not included.
   
   
   
   

1. Funds from operations (“FFO”) and FFO per share are operating performance measures adopted by NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as “net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.”
2. FFO, Normalized FFO and Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD") do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD should not be considered alternatives to net income attributable to common stockholders as indicators of the Company's operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow as measures of liquidity.
3. Potential common shares are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when a loss exists, as the effect would be an antidilutive per share amount.
4. Includes loss on debt extinguishment, loss on derivatives, and legal fees related to the amended credit facility.
5. Includes the Company's proportionate share of normalizing items related to unconsolidated joint ventures such as lease intangibles and transaction costs.
6. Includes the amortization of deferred financing costs, discounts and premiums, and non-cash financing receivable amortization.
7. Includes the Company's proportionate share of straight-line rent, net and rent reserves, net related to unconsolidated joint ventures.
8. The Company utilizes the treasury stock method, which includes the dilutive effect of nonvested share-based awards outstanding of 472,119 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Also includes the diluted impact of 4,253,989 OP units outstanding.
   
   

Management considers funds from operations ("FFO"), FFO per share, normalized FFO, normalized FFO per share, and funds available for distribution ("FAD") to be useful non-GAAP measures of the Company's operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure historical financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Set forth below are descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures management considers relevant to the Company's business and useful to investors.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are not necessarily identical to those presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as indicators of the Company's financial performance, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of the Company's liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs.

FFO and FFO per share are operating performance measures adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as “net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.” The Company defines Normalized FFO as FFO excluding acquisition-related expenses, lease intangible amortization and other normalizing items that are unusual and infrequent in nature. FAD is presented by adding to Normalized FFO non-real estate depreciation and amortization, deferred financing fees amortization, share-based compensation expense and rent reserves, net; and subtracting maintenance capital expenditures, including second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions paid and straight-line rent income, net of expense. The Company's definition of these terms may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing these amounts. FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD should be reviewed in connection with GAAP financial measures.

Management believes FFO, FFO per share, Normalized FFO, Normalized FFO per share, and FAD provide an understanding of the operating performance of the Company’s properties without giving effect to certain significant non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization expense. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. The Company believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, gains or losses from sales of real estate, and other normalizing items that are unusual and infrequent, FFO, FFO per share, Normalized FFO, Normalized FFO per share and FAD can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods. The Company reports these measures because they have been observed by management to be the predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to evaluate REITs and because these measures are consistently reported, discussed, and compared by research analysts in their notes and publications about REITs.

Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI are key performance indicators. Management considers these to be supplemental measures that allow investors, analysts and Company management to measure unlevered property-level operating results. The Company defines Cash NOI as rental income plus interest from financing receivables less property operating expenses. Cash NOI excludes non-cash items such as above and below market lease intangibles, straight-line rent, lease inducements, lease termination fees, financing receivable amortization, tenant improvement amortization and leasing commission amortization. Cash NOI is historical and not necessarily indicative of future results.

Same Store Cash NOI compares Cash NOI for stabilized properties. Stabilized properties are properties that have been included in operations for the duration of the year-over-year comparison period presented. Accordingly, stabilized properties exclude properties that were recently acquired or disposed of, properties classified as held for sale, properties undergoing redevelopment, and newly redeveloped or developed properties.

The Company utilizes the redevelopment classification for properties where management has approved a change in strategic direction through the application of additional resources, including an amount of capital expenditures significantly above routine maintenance and capital improvement expenditures.

Any recently acquired property will be included in the same store pool once the Company has owned the property for five full quarters. Newly developed or redeveloped properties will be included in the same store pool five full quarters after substantial completion.
