Reconciliations of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, to funds from operations, or FFO, attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 appear later in this press release. Reconciliations of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP to net operating income, or NOI, and Cash Basis NOI, and a reconciliation of NOI to same property NOI and a calculation of same property Cash Basis NOI, for the quarters ended December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as applicable, also appear later in this press release.
Office Portfolio Segment:
Same property Cash Basis NOI decreased compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily resulting from increases in repairs and maintenance and utility expenses due to higher energy rates caused by inflation, partially offset by increases in property operating expense reimbursements at certain of DHC’s comparable properties.
DHC entered into new and renewal leases for an aggregate of 181,660 rentable square feet at weighted average rents that were 8.9% higher than prior rents for the same space.
SHOP Segment:
DHC’s senior housing operating portfolio, or SHOP, segment consists of 237 communities, 209 of which are same property. Same property Cash Basis NOI increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily resulting from an increase in revenues due to higher rates and increased occupancy. The increase in revenues was partially offset by increases in operating expenses due to cost increases related to labor, utilities, food and marketing.
Liquidity and Financing Activities:
As of December 31, 2022, DHC had approximately $688.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.
In October 2022, DHC repaid approximately $10.3 million of secured debt encumbering one of its life science properties with an annual interest rate of 4.85% and a maturity date in October 2022, using cash on hand.
In January 2023, pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing its credit facility, DHC repaid $113.6 million in outstanding borrowings under its credit facility and the facility commitments were reduced to $586.4 million.
In February 2023, DHC and its lenders amended the agreement governing DHC’s credit facility to, among other things, extend the waiver of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant through January 15, 2024 and reduce the facility commitments to $450.0 million following DHC’s repayment of $136.4 million in outstanding borrowings.
Disposition Activities:
In February 2023, DHC sold three former senior living communities for an aggregate sales price of $2.8 million, excluding closing costs.

Supplemental Data:

DHC is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, focused on owning high-quality healthcare properties located throughout the United States. DHC seeks diversification across the health services spectrum by care delivery and practice type, by scientific research disciplines and by property type and location. As of December 31, 2022, DHC’s approximately $7.1 billion portfolio included 379 properties in 36 states and Washington, D.C., occupied by approximately 500 tenants, and totaling approximately 9 million square feet of life science and medical office properties and more than 27,000 senior living units. DHC is managed by The RMR Group (Nasdaq: RMR), a leading U.S. alternative asset management company with more than $37 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2022 and more than 35 years of institutional experience in buying, selling, financing and operating commercial real estate. To learn more about DHC, visit www.dhcreit.com.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
DHC presents certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including FFO attributable to common shareholders, Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI for the three months and years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, as well as certain of these measures for the three quarters prior to the quarter ended December 31, 2022. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as indicators of DHC’s operating performance or as measures of DHC’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as presented in DHC’s consolidated statements of income (loss). DHC considers these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. DHC believes these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization, they may facilitate a comparison of DHC’s operating performance between periods and with other REITs and, in the case of NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI, reflecting only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level may help both investors and management to understand the operations of DHC’s properties.
Please see the pages attached hereto for a more detailed statement of DHC’s operating results and financial condition, and for an explanation of DHC’s calculation of FFO attributable to common shareholders, Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI and a reconciliation of those amounts to amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.

(1) DHC calculates FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders as shown above. FFO attributable to common shareholders is calculated on the basis defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties, equity in net earnings or losses of unconsolidated joint ventures, loss on impairment of real estate assets, gains or losses on equity securities, net, if any, including adjustments to reflect DHC’s proportionate share of FFO of DHC’s equity method investment in AlerisLife Inc. (Nasdaq: ALR) and DHC’s proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures, plus real estate depreciation and amortization of consolidated properties and minus FFO adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to DHC. In calculating Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, DHC adjusts for the items shown above. FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders are among the factors considered by DHC’s Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to its shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain DHC’s qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in the agreements governing DHC’s debt, the availability to DHC of debt and equity capital, DHC’s expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance, and DHC’s expected needs for and availability of cash to pay its obligations. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders differently than DHC does.

(1) The calculations of NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI exclude certain components of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders in order to provide results that are more closely related to DHC’s property level results of operations. DHC calculates NOI and Cash Basis NOI as shown above and same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI as shown below. DHC defines NOI as income from its real estate less its property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that DHC records as depreciation and amortization. DHC defines Cash Basis NOI as NOI excluding non-cash straight line rent adjustments, lease value amortization, lease termination fee amortization, if any, and non-cash amortization included in property operating expenses. DHC calculates same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI in the same manner that it calculates the corresponding NOI and Cash Basis NOI amounts, except that it only includes same properties in calculating same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI. DHC uses NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI to evaluate individual and company-wide property level performance. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate NOI, Cash Basis NOI, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI differently than DHC does.
