Key factors that may affect our operations
Our revenue is derived from rents we earn pursuant to the lease agreements with our tenants, from interest income from loans to our tenants and other facility owners, and from profits or equity interests in certain of our tenants' operations. Our tenants operate in the healthcare industry, generally providing medical, surgical, rehabilitative, and behavioral health care to patients. The capacity of our tenants to pay our rents and interest is dependent upon their ability to conduct their operations at profitable levels. We believe that the business environment of the industry segments in which our tenants operate is generally positive for efficient operators. However, our tenants' operations are subject to economic, regulatory, market, and other conditions (such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic) that may affect their profitability, which could impact our results. Accordingly, we monitor certain key performance indicators that we believe provide us with early indications of conditions that could affect the level of risk in our portfolio. Key factors that we may consider in underwriting prospective deals and in our ongoing monitoring of our tenants' (and guarantors') performance, as well as the condition of our properties, include, but are not limited to, the following:
•
scope and breadth of clinical services and programs, including usage trends (for inpatients and outpatients) by type of service;
•
the size and composition of medical staff and physician management at our facilities, including specialty, seniority, and number of procedures performed and/or referrals;
•
an assessment of the administrative team of our operators, if any, including background and seniority in the healthcare industry;
•
staffing trends, including ratios, turnover measures, recruitment and retention strategies at the corporate and individual facility levels;
•
facility operating performance measured by current, historical, and prospective operating margins (measured by a tenant's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, management fees, and facility rent) of each tenant and at each facility;
•
the ratio of our tenants’ operating profits to facility rent and other fixed costs, including debt costs;
•
changes in revenue sources of our tenants, including the relative mix of public payors (including Medicare, Medicaid/MediCal, and managed care in theU.S. , as well as equivalent payors inEurope ,Australia , andSouth America ) and private payors (including commercial insurance and private pay patients);
•
historical support (financial or otherwise) from governments and/or other public payer systems during major economic downturns/depressions;
•
tenant revenue trends, including comparison to recorded net revenue from patient services;
• tenants' free cash flow;
•
the potential impact of healthcare pandemics/epidemics, legislation, and other regulations (including changes in reimbursement) on our tenants' or borrowers' profitability and liquidity;
•
the potential impact of any legal, regulatory or compliance proceedings with our tenants;
•
an ongoing assessment of the operating environment of our tenants, including demographics, competition, market position, status of compliance, accreditation, quality performance, and health outcomes as measured by TheCenters for Medicare and Medicaid Services , Joint Commission, and other governmental bodies in which our tenants operate;
•
the level of investment in hospital infrastructure and health information systems; and
•
physical property due diligence, typically including property condition and Phase 1 environmental assessments, and annual property inspections thereafter.
Certain business factors, in addition to those described above that directly affect our tenants and borrowers, will likely materially influence our future results of operations. These factors include:
•
trends in interest rates and other costs due to general inflation and increased availability and costs due to labor shortages could adversely impact our tenants’ operations and capacity to meet their rental obligations;
26 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•
changes in healthcare regulations that may limit opportunities for physicians to participate in the ownership of healthcare providers and healthcare real estate;
•
reductions in reimbursements from Medicare, state health care programs and commercial insurers that may reduce the profitability of our tenants or borrowers and our revenues;
•
competition from other funding sources; and
•
the ability of our tenants and borrowers to access funds in the credit markets.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING METHODS
Refer to our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our critical accounting policies, which include investments in real estate, purchase price allocation, loans, credit losses, losses from rent and interest receivables, investments accounted for under the fair value option election, and our accounting policy on consolidation. During the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , there were no material changes to these policies.
Insight
We are a self-advised REIT focused on investing in and owning net-leased healthcare facilities across theU.S. and selectively in foreign jurisdictions.Medical Properties Trust, Inc. was incorporated underMaryland law onAugust 27, 2003 , andMPT Operating Partnership, L.P. was formed underDelaware law onSeptember 10, 2003 . We conduct substantially all of our business throughMPT Operating Partnership, L.P. We acquire and develop healthcare facilities and lease the facilities to healthcare operating companies under long-term net leases, which require the tenant to bear most of the costs associated with the property. We also make mortgage loans to healthcare operators collateralized by their real estate assets. From time-to-time, we may make noncontrolling investments in our tenants that gives us a right to share in such tenant's profits and losses and provide for certain minority rights and protections. Our business model facilitates acquisitions and recapitalization, and allows operators of healthcare facilities to unlock the value of their real estate assets to fund facility improvements, technology upgrades, and other investments in operations. AtMarch 31, 2022 , our portfolio consisted of 440 properties leased or loaned to 53 operators, of which two are under development and four are in the form of mortgage loans. We manage our business as a single business segment. AtMarch 31, 2022 , all of our investments are located in theU.S. ,Europe ,Australia , andSouth America .

Operating results
Three months completed
Net income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , was$631.7 million compared to$163.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . This 286% increase in net income is primarily due to the gain on sale of real estate in the 2022 first quarter from the Macquarie Transaction as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, partially offset by higher interest expense, depreciation expense, and general and administrative costs. Normalized funds from operations ("FFO"), after adjusting for certain items (as more fully described in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), was$282.5 million for the 2022 first quarter, or$0.47 per diluted share, as compared to$243.9 million , or$0.42 per diluted share, for the 2021 first quarter. This 16% increase in Normalized FFO is primarily due to incremental revenue from new investments made in 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.

•
Operating lease revenue (includes rent billed and straight-line rent) - up$56.2 million over the prior year of which approximately$67.5 million is incremental revenue from acquisitions made in 2021 (including approximately$18.0 million each fromSpringstone , Steward'sSouth Florida operations, andPriory Group Transaction as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) and early 2022 (primarily ourFinland acquisition). In addition, rent revenues are up due to approximately$5 million from increases in CPI above the minimum increases in the lease,$0.2 million from capital additions in 2022, and$0.5 million from the commencement of rent on a development property in the first quarter of 2022. This increase is partially offset by approximately$15.1 million of lower revenues from disposals in 2021 and early 2022 (including a$4.1 million decrease from the properties disposed of in the Macquarie Transaction as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and$4.5 million of straight-line rent write-offs associated with non-Macquarie Transaction disposals in the first quarter of 2022) and$2.9 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations.
•
Finance lease income – up
•
Interest and other income – down
o Interest from loans - down$12.9 million over the prior year due to$15.9 million of less interest revenue earned on the Priory loans from the conversion of the £800 million mortgage loan to fee simple assets in the second quarter of 2021 and the repayment of the £250 million acquisition loan in the 2021 fourth quarter as described in Note 3 , lower revenues from loans that were paid off since the first quarter of 2021, and$1.0 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. This decrease is partially offset by$5.6 million of incremental revenue earned on investments in 2021 (primarilySpringstone ) and early 2022 (Priory syndicated loan) and$0.6 million of income from annual escalations due to increases in CPI. o
Other income – up
Interest expense for the quarters endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021 totaled$91.2 million and$87.0 million , respectively. This increase is primarily related to new debt issuances in 2021 to fund new investments, as our weighted-average interest rate of 3.1% for the quarter endedMarch 31, 2022 is lower than the 3.4% in the same period in 2021.
Depreciation and amortization of real estate during the first quarter of 2022 increased to
30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Property-related expenses totaled$8.6 million and$5.5 million for the quarters endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of the property expenses in the first three months of 2022 and 2021, approximately$6.3 million and$3.5 million , respectively, represents costs that were reimbursed by our tenants and included in the "Interest and other income" line on our condensed consolidated statements of net income. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses represented 10.1% for the 2022 first quarter, slightly higher than 9.9% in the prior year. On a dollar basis, general and administrative expenses totaled$41.4 million for the 2022 first quarter, which is a$5.4 million increase from the prior year first quarter and reflective of the growth of the company, in particular higher compensation to non-executive employees (partially due to an increase in employee head count) and approximately$1 million of more charitable giving. During the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , we completed the partnership with MAM in which we sold the real estate of eightMassachusetts -based general acute care hospitals, resulting in a gain on real estate of approximately$600 million , partially offset by approximately$125 million of write-offs of non-cash straight-line rent receivables. We also disposed of two other facilities and an ancillary property resulting in a net gain of$15 million . During the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , we sold one facility and an ancillary property resulting in a net gain of$1.0 million . Earnings from equity interests was$7.3 million for the quarter endedMarch 31, 2022 , up$0.2 million from the same period in 2021, primarily due to$1.2 million of income generated on ourMassachusetts -based partnership with MAM entered into duringMarch 2022 , partially offset by the loss of equity interest income from the IMED joint venture that we acquired the remaining 50% interest of duringDecember 2021 . Debt refinancing and unutilized financing costs were$8.8 million and$2.3 million for the quarters endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The costs incurred in the first quarter of 2022 were a result of the termination of our$1 billion interim credit facility (see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail). In 2021, these costs were a result of the early termination of ourJanuary 2021 Interim Credit Facility and the amendment to our Credit Facility.
In the first quarter of 2022, we recorded a favorable non-cash fair value adjustment of
Income tax expense includesU.S. federal and state income taxes on our TRS entities, as well as non-U.S. income based or withholding taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside theU.S. The$11.4 million income tax expense for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 is primarily based on the income generated by our investments in theUnited Kingdom ,Colombia , andAustralia . In comparison, we incurred$8.4 million in income tax expense in the first quarter of 2021. This$3.0 million increase is primarily due to the Priory transaction in the first quarter of 2021 and our investment inSpringstone in the fourth quarter of 2021. We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets are recorded to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, all available positive and negative evidence is considered, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance. Based upon our review of all positive and negative evidence, including our three-year cumulative pre-tax book loss position in certain entities, we concluded that a valuation allowance of approximately$77.5 million should be reflected against certain of our international and domestic net deferred tax assets atMarch 31, 2022 . In the future, if we determine that it is more likely than not that we will realize our net deferred tax assets, we will reverse the applicable portion of the valuation allowance, recognize an income tax benefit in the period in which such determination is made, and incur higher income taxes in future periods as income is earned.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Investors and analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations, or FFO, as a supplemental performance measure. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate asset values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. We compute FFO in accordance with the definition provided by theNational Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts , or Nareit, which represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) on sales of real estate and impairment charges on real estate assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition, we disclose normalized FFO, which adjusts FFO for items that relate to unanticipated or non-core events or activities or accounting changes that, if not noted, would make comparison to prior period results and market expectations less meaningful to investors and analysts. 31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and the use of normalized FFO makes comparisons of our operating results with prior periods and other companies more meaningful. While FFO and normalized FFO are relevant and widely used supplemental measures of operating and financial performance of REITs, they should not be viewed as a substitute measure of our operating performance since the measures do not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which can be significant economic costs that could materially impact our results of operations. FFO and normalized FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income attributable to MPT common stockholders to FFO and Normalized FFO for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021 (amounts in thousands except per share data): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 FFO information: Net income attributable to MPT common stockholders$ 631,681 $ 163,783 Participating securities' share in earnings (402 ) (370 )

We believe total pro forma gross assets is useful to investors as it provides a more current view of our portfolio and allows for a better understanding of our concentration levels as our commitments close.

Total Adjusted Revenues
Total adjusted revenues are total revenues adjusted for our pro rata portion of similar revenues in our real estate joint venture arrangements. We believe total adjusted revenues are useful to investors as it provides a more complete view of revenues across all of our investments and allows for better understanding of our revenue concentration. The following table presents a reconciliation of total revenues to total adjusted revenues (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 Total revenues $ 409,800 $ 362,765 Revenues from real estate properties owned through joint venture arrangements 34,976 31,652 Total adjusted revenues $ 444,776 $ 394,417
CASH AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash activity 2022
During the 2022 first quarter, we generated approximately$179.4 million of cash flows from operating activities, primarily consisting of rent and interest from mortgage and other loans. We used these operating cash flows to fund our dividends of$176.5 million and certain investment activities. During the quarter, we received approximately$1.3 billion of proceeds from the Macquarie Transaction and obtained a 50% interest in the partnership valued at approximately$400 million (see Note 3 to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further details). We used these proceeds to pay off ourJuly 2021 Interim Credit Facility, pay down our revolving credit facility, and along with cash on-hand and cash from other disposal transactions, to invest in new real estate and other assets. Subsequent to quarter-end, we exercised the$500 million accordion feature to our revolving credit facility- see Note 10 to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional details. 2021 Cash Flow Activity During the 2021 first quarter, we generated approximately$188.7 million of cash flows from operating activities, primarily consisting of rent and interest from mortgage and other loans. We used these operating cash flows, along with$11 million received from Steward as a return of capital distribution, to fund our dividends of$147.7 million and certain investment activities. In addition, we invested approximately$1.8 billion in real estate and other assets, including the £1.1 billion Priory Group Transaction inJanuary 2021 (as more fully described in Note 3 to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q), using a combination of cash on-hand generated from the$779.2 million of net proceeds from the sales of stock during the quarter, £500 million of proceeds from an interim credit facility, and proceeds from our revolving facility. In lateMarch 2021 , we issued £850 million of senior unsecured notes and used such proceeds to pay off our interim credit facility in full and reduce our revolving credit facility balance to less than$200 million outstanding.
Short-term liquidity requirements:
AtMay 6, 2022 and after the exercise of the$500 million accordion under our unsecured revolving loan facility (as discussed in Note 10 to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q), our liquidity approximates$1.1 billion . We believe this liquidity along with our current monthly cash receipts from rent and loan interest and regular distributions from our joint venture arrangements, is sufficient to fund our operations, dividends in order to comply with REIT requirements, our current firm commitments (capital expenditures and expected funding requirements on development projects), and debt service obligations for the next twelve months (including contractual interest payments). We expect that other capital recycling transactions (that could include sales of single facilities) will further improve our liquidity and our leverage ratio, although no assurances can be given that our capital recycling efforts will be successful. 33 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-term liquidity requirements:
As ofMay 6, 2022 and after the exercise of the$500 million accordion under our unsecured revolving loan facility (as discussed in Note 10 to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q), our liquidity approximates$1.1 billion . We believe that our liquidity, along with our current monthly cash receipts from rent and loan interest and regular distributions from our joint venture arrangements, is sufficient to fund our operations, debt and interest obligations, our firm commitments, and dividends in order to comply with REIT requirements for the foreseeable future. However, in order to make additional investments, to fund debt maturities coming due in 2023 and beyond (as outlined below), to strategically refinance any existing debt in order to reduce interest rates, or to further improve our leverage ratios, we may need to access one or a combination of the following sources of capital:
•
sales of strategic properties or joint ventures;
• sale of equity securities; • new bank term loans; •
new debt securities denominated in USD, EUR or GBP, including senior unsecured notes; and or
•
new real estate secured loans.
However, there can be no assurance that conditions will be favorable to such possible transactions or that our plans will be successful.
