(cid:1505) Vision, Passion and Discipline

In August of 2023, MPT will be celebrating its 20th
Anniversary. I am especially proud to be on the verge of this 
major milestone in our history because of the meaningful 
and enduring relationships we have formed with so many key

mind – vision, passion and discipline.

Vision reflects the plan we had since our founding days to be a uniquely differentiated real 
estate investment trust (REIT). First, we wanted to own an asset category that would always 
be in demand because it fulfilled a critical need in the lives of people everywhere. When you 
think about it, restaurants, shopping centers and industrial parks all play an important role 
in fueling economies and satisfying consumers, yet they seldom qualify as the absolutely 
essential nucleus of a community’s physical well-being like a hospital does. Today, MPT is 
the only U.S. REIT dedicated solely to hospital properties. We have come a long way from 
owning a handful of hospitals to our current portfolio of 444 properties diversified primarily 
across General Acute Care, Behavioral Health and Post- and Sub-acute facilities throughout 
the United States and nine other countries. 

Passion for a business comes easily when you know the mission of that business is vital. 
We have built a remarkable team whose knowledge of what makes hospitals successful 
is unique within the REIT industry. The passion of our team members motivates them to 
understand the complex hospital landscape, from the regulatory environment to local 
demographics to the best hospital operators. Their expertise makes MPT a premier financial 
resource for top operators across a wide variety of global healthcare delivery systems. There 
is real value to being passionate and focused on a single asset category for which we have 
established a track record of success and a reputation for collaboration.

Discipline takes into account many things. In our business, it starts with the best use 
of capital to build long-term value. That must be supported by diligent underwriting to 
evaluate acquisition candidates. We dig deep to find high-quality hospital properties with 
strong operators, who have a history of attracting top physicians and delivering outstanding 
healthcare to their communities. Our team knows the right questions to ask and where to 
probe. A property must check all the boxes before it becomes an MPT hospital, and most 
importantly, it must have the ability to deliver returns for our shareholders.

INVESTMENTS IN 2022

(cid:1505) Strong Risk-Adjusted Cash
Flows in All Environments

As a REIT, we seek to generate risk-adjusted returns 
to our shareholders in the form of dividends – and 
we have been very successful delivering this since 
our founding. We paid attractive dividends through 
the financial crisis in 2008 and the COVID pandemic 
starting in 2020. Once again, we are facing uncertain 
times around inflation and pressures on banking 
systems, yet we remain confident - and here’s why. 

First, we have a strong balance sheet with well-
staggered debt maturities. At the same time interest 
rates have increased, we have CPI rent escalators in 
our lease contracts. With our average lease contract 
being greater than 17 years, this rent escalation 
compounds over time and provides a cushion 
against inflationary pressures. Also keep in mind that 
hospital properties are valuable real estate; they are 
need-based and recession resilient.

As we have demonstrated over the years, we 
can unlock embedded value through our capital 
harvesting strategy. Proceeds from hospital sales 
can be used to invest in strategic opportunities or 
to reduce debt depending on the circumstances at 
the time, much like our recently announced plan to 
sell our Australian real estate. We have built many 
margins of safety into the MPT platform to give our 
investors confidence in the foundational strength of 
our company and the sustainability of its revenue.

(cid:1505) Up and to the Right
Businesses don’t grow ever upward in a straight line — there 
are always some bumps in the road. While 2022 had its share 
of challenging situations as hospital systems exited COVID and 
dealt with extraordinary staffing costs, MPT had its share of real 
progress. First, we generated a return on equity (ROE) of 10.6% 
as measured on a net income basis, tracking in-line with our 
historical performance and comparing favorably to healthcare and 
net-lease REITs.(1) On a normalized funds from operations (NFFO) 
basis, our ROE was above 11% and in-line with our historical 

(cid:1522)(cid:1521)(cid:1773)(cid:1752)

RETURN ON EQUITY  
IN 2022

performance. These robust 
and low-volatility returns 
demonstrate our portfolio’s 
profitability relative to the 
actual cost of equity with 
which it was assembled — a 
pattern of thoughtful capital 

allocation dating back nearly 20 years. We are confident that we 
have a business model and balance sheet that provide us ample 
flexibility to sustain this pace. Second, we invested over $1.0 billion 
in high quality assets during the year. In the United Kingdom, 
we were very excited to acquire six of the largest, highest acuity, 
most profitable and best-known Priory behavioral health facilities 
located around London, Manchester and Bristol. We also contracted 
to build three new hospitals on the Spanish Mediterranean coast 
with IMED, one of Spain’s top operators. Expanding our presence in 
Europe is a key element of our growth plan, and the opportunity is 
compelling for private hospitals. In the U.S., we acquired hospital 
properties in Arizona and Florida, increasing our footprint in these 
dynamically growing states. I invite you to read more about how we 
are innovating hospital healthcare and executing against our growth 
strategy in this Annual Report.

Looking ahead into 2023, we continue to see long-term 
opportunities for market acceptance and expansion; but given 
uncertainties around global capital markets and the cost of capital 
generally, we will remain focused and disciplined. We know that 
managing a successful business for long-term value creation is a 
marathon, not a sprint. That said, we have a great business model,  
a great team and we’re always looking up and to the right.

In closing, my long-time partner, friend and co-founder of MPT, 
Emmett McLean, recently announced his planned retirement. I 
want to thank Emmett for 20 years of collaboration, dedication and 
strong commitment to our philanthropic efforts. Emmett has made 
a great impact on our people and the communities we serve. We 
promise to continue his good work.

It is crucial that the full

continuum of medical care exists 
in every community to meet its 
healthcare needs. Without a strong

general acute care hospital sitting at the 
top of the acuity “pyramid,” an otherwise

ecosystem risks becoming a collection 
of spokes without a hub.

MPT owns many of these 
anchoring hospitals across its 
global portfolio. These facilities 
receive direct (emergency room) 

patient in-flow as well as high volumes 

of referrals from a network of local 

physician practices, urgent care facilities and 
HSEDs. MPT often owns these secondary facilities 

and they serve to ensure that patients with higher acuity 

needs ultimately arrive at the general acute hospital.

In Mesa, Arizona, MPT owns not only the anchoring hospital but three additional HSED facilities, all leased 
to Dignity Health. The scope of MPT’s presence in the Mesa market illustrates the importance of the hub facility, the strategic positioning

Mesa currently has a population of more than 500,000 people that 
is projected to grow 2.8% by 2027.(1) Mesa has become a premier 
location for medical device design, manufacturing and 
healthcare-related start-ups. This growth in the surrounding 
healthcare industry has likewise attracted a large and 
growing workforce. The roughly 17% of Mesa’s population 
that is currently 65+ is expected to naturally increase 
as the population ages and as Arizona continues to 
position itself as an attractive destination for retirees.

(cid:1505) Providing Convenient Care
As the anchoring facility, Arizona General ensures that the residents of Mesa do 
not have to travel far to receive high acuity services that can only be provided in 
a general acute setting. For situations necessitating simple or unknown levels of 
care, Dignity also operates numerous HSED’s in greater Phoenix, seven of which 
are owned by MPT. These are located conveniently throughout the community, 
enabling shorter travel time and potentially reduced wait times for emergency 
care. These facilities are fully equipped, 24-hour emergency rooms providing 
the same level of care as a hospital emergency room, with doctors and nurses 
specifically trained in emergency medicine. Care may range from treatment 
for allergic reactions, dehydration, lacerations and rashes to broken bones, 
pneumonia or asthmatic breathing issues and even cardiac episodes. These 
facilities feature advanced diagnostic equipment and on-site laboratory services 
to provide the necessary care, just as the acute care facility would render. 

The HSED may send patients to the anchoring acute care facility if inpatient 
care is required, or if not, discharge the patient and refer them to a nearby 
physician for any necessary follow-up care.

Dignity’s Arizona General Hospital operates 
as a General Acute Care Hospital in Mesa, AZ. 
Three hospital satellite emergency department 
facilities operated by Dignity refer patients 
to Arizona General Hospital. Emergency care 
is one of over 20 healthcare services that are 
provided by Dignity at this general acute 
care hospital and its related hospital satellite 
emergency departments. This is a great 
example of why MPT’s general acute  
care hospitals are central to their  
communities’ infrastructure.

for Recovery

Mesa represents an example in which MPT owns 
an anchoring acute care facility and its outposts, 
while other supportive healthcare facilities that 
provide additional care and services can be found 
concentrically throughout the community. These 
other facilities are vital to the healthcare ecosystem 
and include inpatient rehabilitation (IRF), long-term 
acute care (LTACH), behavioral health and skilled 
nursing (SNF) facilities. It is no coincidence that 
leading providers of these post-acute services typically 
position their services in close proximity to a hospital. 
Likewise, private pay senior housing facilities would 
also likely struggle to convince families that their loved 
ones should live in an area without a hospital in the 
immediate vicinity. 

Physician offices and emergency medicine practices 
are also limited in their ability to effectively treat 
patients without a nearby general acute care hospital 
to which they can refer patients for surgery. It is also 
increasingly important that these secondary practices 
are able to fluidly integrate and interact with the 
electronic health records system of a major hospital-
anchored system. Simply put, many of these ancillary 
practices would have little reason to exist in any 
community without a dependable hospital.

(cid:1505) Delivering 

Better Outcomes
Healthcare facilities which support 
and reinforce each other’s vital role in the 
community all organize around a general acute care 
hospital nucleus — the only place where the most acute 
patient needs can be addressed. It’s the definition of a great 
healthcare network. 

MPT invests in facilities that play a vital role in the 
organization of the local healthcare ecosystem, a 
characteristic with strong implications for long-term real 
estate returns.

(cid:1505) Evolving to Meet a
Community’s Needs
Smaller, growing communities often find 
themselves with healthcare systems that aren’t 
keeping up with their rapid growth. That was 
the case in Idaho Falls, a burgeoning town of 
67,000 people in southeastern Idaho. When MPT 
learned about Idaho Falls’ situation, they saw a 
community that needed another great hospital.

It began with MPT property Mountain View 
Hospital, a physician-owned joint venture that 
operated as a surgical specialty hospital. It has 
always succeeded in delivering high-quality 
inpatient and outpatient surgical care, as well 
as women’s and newborn services. However, 
Mountain View did not offer the other key 
service lines of traditional, full-service hospitals. 

Nonetheless, it continued to grow and thrive as 
Idaho Falls continued to grow and thrive. It wasn’t 
long before local physicians, community members 
and others began urging Mountain View to expand 
capacity and provide new services.

Mountain View teamed up with Surgery Partners, 
a surgical operator based in Nashville, to create 
a plan for a new facility. They approached 
MPT about building a new hospital, and MPT’s 
long-standing rigorous underwriting principles 
confirmed the need for another full-service 
facility in the high growth community with strong 
economic fundamentals. It joined forces with 
Surgery Partners to build Idaho Falls Community 
Hospital (IFCH) from the ground up. Surgery 
Partners owns the operations, and MPT owns the 
real estate.

(cid:1505) A Diverse Population 

Fully Cared For

The new facility immediately provided consumers 
with more options when it came to choosing 
where to receive their health care. IFCH 
brought to Idaho Falls an additional option for 
full medical-surgical services, an emergency 
room, an intensive care unit (ICU) and a cardiac 
catheterization lab.

The hospital’s arrival was particularly timely. IFCH opened in December 2019, 
only months before the COVID-19 pandemic began. The additional beds 
and second ICU were vital resources for the citizens of Idaho Falls and the 
surrounding area.

“IFCH hits the mark on everything that MPT looks for in a community 
hospital,” said Matt Lyden, Director, Asset Management & Underwriting. 
“It’s a high demand hospital. It has been welcomed and well received in the 
community, so much so that now, only a few years after opening, they’re 
already looking to expand the facility.”

Idaho Falls has experienced a more than 14% surge in its population since 
2010 and serves as the economic center of southeastern Idaho.(1) IFCH fills 
the essential need for more access and more healthcare capacity as the area 
continues to gain residents.

“IFCH is not focused simply on the hospital, but how to feed the hospital,” Mr. 
Lyden added. “They are regionally focused with numerous access points for 
in-demand health services including imaging, ambulatory and urgent care 
centers located throughout the community. They extend their reach across 
the entire southeastern part of Idaho, serving as a referral center. It’s a well-
run, well-respected, very successful hospital.”

As a large owner of hospitals, MPT has a unique 
perspective on environmental sustainability in the 
healthcare sector. The Company was recognized 
recently as a Green Lease Leader with silver status by 
the Institute for Market Transformation. Since MPT’s 
operators have direct responsibility for maintaining 
and running its hospitals, the Company engages 
regularly with them on sustainability matters 
and their importance. Details on many of their 
initiatives to reduce the environmental footprint 
of their operations are featured in MPT’s Corporate 
Responsibility Report.

(cid:1505) Building a Culture of 

Collaboration and Respect
MPT was honored to be named again in 2022 as 
a “Best Place to Work in Healthcare” by Modern 
Healthcare. In announcing the strong ranking, the 
survey noted high levels of employee satisfaction and 
confidence in executive management. This third-party 
recognition is a testament to the strong culture that 
the leadership team at MPT has fostered over the last 
two decades, where employees feel empowered to 
contribute to meaningful work, while advancing their 
careers and developing new skill sets.

In 2013, MPT first established its presence in Europe, 
long before the COVID-19 pandemic challenged hospital 
capacities. The pandemic placed tremendous stress on 
universal health systems’ ability to deliver critical care in an 
inclusive and timely way. The strain on these systems and 
the resulting challenges in service and care emphasized 
the significant role private hospitals play in delivering 
healthcare to European markets.

(cid:1505) (cid:808)(cid:497)(cid:3)(cid:105)(cid:144)(cid:164)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:491)(cid:656)(cid:456)(cid:566)(cid:679)(cid:456)(cid:517)(cid:497)
These factors highlight the marketplace for private 
healthcare across Europe  — and it is still in the early stages 
of its growth potential. Importantly, European universal 
health providers are viewing private hospitals not as 
competitors but often as partners in delivering healthcare 
to its populations. In many instances, the public systems are 
now sending their patient overflow to private hospitals and 
reimbursing them accordingly. 

Public healthcare systems have identified opportunities 
to satisfy the healthcare needs of their populations while 
managing tight capital budgets. It is often more cost-
effective to reimburse private hospitals than to expand or 
build new facilities to meet growing demand. This positions 
the private hospital sector for continued growth. And these 
positive trends reinforce MPT’s European growth strategy 
 — private enterprise and government working together to 
find efficiencies and effective solutions to deliver superior 
healthcare to the European market. 

(cid:1505) Expertise and Experience
MPT seized on critical first-mover advantages by 
establishing its presence in the European market a decade 
ago and introducing a strong and proven concept to the 
private hospital sector overseas. Our outside expertise and 
perspective on what makes a successful hospital helped us 
to attract some top European private hospital operators  
as partners.

UNPARALLELED HEALTHCARE EXPERTISE
As a real estate investment trust focused solely on hospital 
assets, MPT has tremendous insight into what makes a 
hospital successful. Many members of the leadership and 
management teams came to MPT with years of experience 
working in the healthcare sector where they gained direct 
knowledge and expertise into how hospitals are run.

CUF VISEU HOSPITAL - PORTUGAL

PRIORY GLASGOW - U.K.

A hospital is not just a building — it is a vital player in the well-being and 
vibrancy of the community it serves. That is just as true in Bakersfield, 
Calif., as it is in Birmingham, U.K., or Berlin, Germany. A well-run hospital 
instills confidence in the people it serves that they will receive the best 
care. It is where top medical personnel want to practice. It is where 
dedicated hospital operators want to uphold the highest standards of 
their profession. 

Hospitals are very complex operations, and they require a great deal of 
expertise to make investments that will generate strong and sustainable 
returns. It is important that owners and operators of potential hospital 
acquisitions understand MPT’s singular and focused expertise in their 
industry. MPT has established its credibility in the European market 
by understanding not only real estate but also the unique healthcare 
frameworks within each of its markets. “Our skill set transcends 
traditional real estate investing in that we understand hospital 
operations and what ultimately drives hospitals to either be successful 
or not successful in the long term. I believe that’s our most significant 
differentiator in the European market,” said Scott Heald, Director of Asset 
Management and Underwriting.

In addition to developing strong relationships with operators across 
several countries, our strategy sometimes includes identifying 
opportunities for joint ventures. MPT has a proven track record for 
disciplined capital allocation that brings certainty and decisiveness  
into a competitive marketplace. Joint venture partners count on our 
hospital real estate expertise to evaluate opportunities in an attractive 

yet complex asset class. Steve Nitschke, Managing Director, Head of 
European Acquisitions, added, “Our expertise in the hospital sector, long-
term relationships with premier operators worldwide and demonstrated 
history of strategic, accretive investments have positioned MPT as an 
attractive joint venture partner for sophisticated institutional investors, 
validating MPT as the leading investor in hospital real estate. In turn, joint 
ventures offer MPT access to alternative sources of capital and establish 
partnerships with key global investors to give us more optionality as we

HOSPITAL REAL ESTATE 
MPT’s disciplined acquisition and underwriting processes are designed 
to identify the optimal locations for investing in hospital properties 
across Europe. The Company currently has a highly select portfolio of 
European hospital assets in the United Kingdom, Spain, Switzerland, 
Italy, Germany, Portugal and Finland. 

Given the multitude of variables within each country, MPT’s due diligence 
is extensive. Geopolitical risk and the reimbursement environment are 
important to evaluate on a country-by-country basis. A cooperative 
relationship between public and private healthcare providers is a top 
priority. MPT recently entered the Nordic market with its first transaction 
in Finland, and the Company believes there is strong growth potential 
in Scandinavia based on the collaborative spirit of their government 
healthcare systems and private hospitals.

MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC.

(cid:1505) A Strong Presence in the

United Kingdom

With 87 properties, MPT’s most significant presence in Europe 
is in the U.K. In a country where the National Health Service 
(NHS) is the primary source of care, MPT is well established in 
the private healthcare system and owns two NHS hospitals. In 
addition to serving a growing number of Britons with private 
insurance, private hospitals are working collaboratively 
with the public system to address substantial care backlogs 
due to increasing demand and constrained resources. 
Inpatient behavioral healthcare is facing similar dynamics, 
and our hospitals leased to market leader Priory play an 
important role in increasing access to behavioral care within 
communities across the U.K. 

(cid:1505) Seizing the Opportunity in Spain
In 2017, MPT had identified Spain as a promising 
expansion opportunity when IMED Hospitales, a leading 
Spanish private hospital operator, came to MPT seeking 
a real estate investor that had the healthcare expertise 
to actualize their vision of a state-of-the-art hospital. 
Following that successful endeavor, MPT agreed to fund the 
development of three IMED general acute care hospitals 
in Barcelona, Valencia and Alicante over the next three 
years for a combined €121 million. These projects, in 
addition to MPT’s existing IMED facility in Valencia, reflect 
the growing presence of private hospitals in Spain and 
further demonstrate MPT’s ability to grow through existing 
relationships. Today, MPT owns nine top-tier healthcare 
facilities in Spain.

Swiss Healthcare

Switzerland has an exceptionally high standard of 
healthcare, often considered one of the best in the world. 
MPT entered the Swiss market in 2019 and now owns a 70% 
interest in a portfolio of 17 premier general acute hospitals 
operated by Swiss Medical Network, Switzerland’s second 
largest private hospital group.

s people flock to its
vibrant economy, wide-ranging
industries, breathtaking landscapes 
and outdoor recreation.

As new employers and affluent young 
professionals with growing families
move to the area, ample access to 
superior hospital care is expected. 
MPT’s seven thriving facilities in Utah
illustrate a great deal about the key
infrastructure characteristics the 
Company looks for when growing its 
hospital portfolio. 

“These Utah hospitals checked all of 
the boxes as far as our cornerstone
underwriting principles,” said Edward
K. Aldag, Jr., Chairman, President and 
Chief Executive Officer. “They not only 
meet the critical healthcare needs of 
their communities but also facilitate 
attractive real estate returns to MPT.”

Luke Savage, Vice President, Head 
f Global Acquisitions, echoed Mr
of Global Acquisitions, echoed Mr. 
Aldag’s view. “Every community is
community 
different, and our acquisition strategy
focuses on the needs of each specific 
community and how important that 
hospital is to the area,” Mr. Savage
said. “What needs is the hospital 
serving? Do they have all the pieces 
in place to help the doctors? Are they 
serving the whole community?”

The geographic distribution of Utah’s 
population supports a concentration
of high-quality healthcare facilities 
located in close proximity to each
other. Eighty-five percent of the 
state’s 3.4 million people live along 
the Wasatch Front, where Salt Lake
City and MPT’s seven properties are 
located. It is a high growth area that
features multiple higher education
institutions and fosters a successful 
business environment. This “Silicon
Slopes” region has become a hub

for technological innovation and has
attracted a vibrant, young, highly educated
workforce. Other important industries
within the community include financial
services, construction, manufacturing, 
distribution, healthcare and aviation. 
Residents and tourists alike take advantage 
of the recreational opportunities found 
throughout the rich natural surroundings of 
the area. 

“Utah is one of the most distinctive 
healthcare markets in the United States,” 
said Jason Frey, Director, Asset Management
and Underwriting. “Its population is younger, 
affluent and generally healthy, with larger 
families that are commercially insured. It’s
a very attractive market for so many reasons.”

In the latest U.S. Census, Utah retained its 
title as the nation’s youngest state, even as 

the U.S. population overall continued to
age. Utah’s median age is 31.8 years, a full 
seven years younger than the nationwide 
average of 38.8 years.

With such a young, healthy population 
leading active lifestyles, one might questionti
the utility of multiple hospitals in the area. ea
However, many of these young citizens areare
choosing to start families and will requirere
and 
increasing levels of prenatal, childbirth and 
ongoing children’s care in the future. Not ot 
to mention that the outdoor recreational
activities that appeal to so many Utah
residents as well as tourists also lead too
injuries, emergency room visits and related 
ated
surgeries. In fact, MPT’s Salt Lake City 
properties see more surgeries than similarlymilarly
situated hospitals in communities of 
average or older populations.

Acute care hospitals are the most resilient investments across the healthcare sector. MPT increased its market presence in 2022 in 
Spain, South America, Finland and across Europe as it committed investment dollars to new relationships and built on existing ones. 
MPT continues to bring reliable healthcare to communities worldwide — maintaining its place as the leader in capital solutions for 
the healthcare industry.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 
We consider non-GAAP financial measures to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure 
is a measure of financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not so excluded from or 
included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Described below are the non-GAAP 
financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance and that we consider most useful to investors, together 
with reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. 

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND NORMALIZED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS 

Investors and analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations ("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 the National 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.

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 (if any not paid by our tenants) 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.

RETURN ON EQUITY 

Return on equity as measured by normalized FFO is derived from amounts included in our U.S. GAAP financial statements. We use normalized 
FFO as the numerator for the same reasons we present normalized FFO, as discussed on page 29. We use average total equity excluding the 
effect of accumulated depreciation and amortization similar to the exclusion of depreciation and amortization of real estate assets from funds 
from operations.

Return on equity measures the actual profitability we delivered related to the actual cost of the equity with which we have built our 
portfolio. Return on equity measured by normalized FFO should not be considered a substitute for return on equity measured by net income 
and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business. The following tables reconcile return on equity measured by net income and 
return on equity measured by normalized FFO (amounts in thousands):

audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting 
as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal 
Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to 
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results 
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also 
in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated 
Framework (2013) issued by the COSO. 

BASIS FOR OPINIONS 

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated 
financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over 
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of 
internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s 
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting presented 
within the 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders. Our responsibility 
is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial 
statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent
with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of 
the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement,
whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included 
performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement
of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error 
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. 
Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence 
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated 
financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial 
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control 
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our 
audits also included performing such other procedures as we 
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our 
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

DEFINITION AND LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL 
CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process 
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements 
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial 
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to 
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately 
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of 
the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions 
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management 
and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could 
have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial 
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because 
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

CRITICAL AUDIT MATTERS 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter 
arising from the current period audit of the consolidated 
financial statements that was communicated or required to be 
communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to
accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated 
financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, 
subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical 

2022 ANNUAL REPORT

33

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and 
evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall 
opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included
testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s 
acquired real estate purchase price allocations, including controls 
over the fair value of each tangible and identified lease intangible 
asset acquired. These procedures also included, among others, 
testing management’s process by evaluating the significant
assumptions related to capitalization rates and market rental
rates, and the methodology used by management in developing 
the estimated fair values and allocations of the purchase price 
to the tangible and identified lease intangible assets acquired. 
Testing management’s process included using professionals with
specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the valuation
methodologies and significant assumptions used by management,
such as capitalization rates and market rental rates, for certain
acquisitions. Evaluating the reasonableness of assumptions
involved considering internal data from previous acquisitions,
where relevant.

audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the 
consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are 
not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a 
separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or 
disclosures to which it relates. 

ACQUIRED REAL ESTATE PURCHASE PRICE 
ALLOCATIONS 

As described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial 
statements, management allocates the purchase price of acquired 
properties to tangible and identified lease intangible assets based
on their fair values. In 2022, the Company acquired a total of $668 
million of land, building and intangible lease assets. In making
estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase prices 
of acquired real estate to tangible and identified lease intangible 
assets, management utilizes information from a number of sources
including available real estate broker data, independent appraisals
that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition of the
respective property, internal data from previous acquisitions or 
developments, other market data, and significant assumptions such 
as capitalization rates and market rental rates.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing 
procedures relating to the acquired real estate purchase price 
allocations is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgments
by management when developing the fair value measurements
and allocating the purchase price of the acquired properties to the
tangible and lease intangible assets acquired, which in turn led to 
a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in performing 
procedures and evaluating audit evidence, (ii) significant audit 
effort was required in assessing the reasonableness of significant
assumptions such as capitalization rates and market rental rates used 
by management to estimate the fair value of each tangible and lease
intangible asset component, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use 
of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC. 
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

1. Organization 
Medical Properties Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was formed on August 27, 2003, under the Maryland General Corporation Law for 
the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in, owning, and leasing healthcare real estate. Our operating partnership subsidiary,
MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), through which we conduct substantially all of our operations, was formed in 
September 2003. At present, we own all of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and have elected to report our required 
disclosures and that of the Operating Partnership on a combined basis, except where material differences exist.

We operate as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Accordingly, we are generally not subject to United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax 
on our REIT taxable income, provided that we continue to qualify as a REIT and our distributions to our stockholders equal or exceed such
taxable income. Certain non-real estate activities we undertake are conducted by entities which we elected to be treated as taxable REIT 
subsidiaries (“TRS”). Our TRS entities are subject to both U.S. federal and state income taxes. For our properties located outside the U.S., we
are subject to the local taxes of the jurisdictions where our properties reside and/or legal entities are domiciled; however, we do not expect
to incur additional taxes, of a significant nature, in the U.S. from foreign-based income as the majority of such income flows through our REIT.

Our primary business strategy is to acquire and develop real estate and improvements, primarily for long-term lease to providers of 
healthcare services, such as operators of general acute care hospitals, behavioral health facilities, inpatient physical rehabilitation 
facilities, long-term acute care hospitals, and freestanding ER/urgent care facilities. We also make mortgage loans to healthcare operators 
collateralized by their real estate. In addition, we may make noncontrolling investments in our tenants, from time-to-time, typically in 
conjunction with larger real estate transactions with the tenant, which may enhance our overall return and provide for certain minority rights
and protections. 

Our business model facilitates acquisitions and recapitalizations, and allows operators of healthcare facilities to unlock the value of their real
estate to fund facility improvements, technology upgrades, and other investments in operations. At December 31, 2022, we have investments 
in 444 facilities in 31 states in the U.S., in seven countries in Europe, one country in South America, and across Australia. We manage our 
business as a single business segment. 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure 
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. We believe the estimates and assumptions underlying our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2022 are
reasonable and supportable based on the information available (particularly as it relates to our assessments of the recoverability of our real 
estate and the adequacy of our credit loss reserves on loans and financing receivables). Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Principles of Consolidation: Property holding entities and other subsidiaries of which we own 100% of the equity or have a controlling 
financial interest evidenced by ownership of a majority voting interest are consolidated. All inter-company balances and transactions are 
eliminated. For entities in which we own less than 100% of the equity interest, we consolidate the property if we have the direct or indirect 
ability to control the entities’ activities based upon the terms of the respective entities’ ownership agreements. For these entities, we record 
a non-controlling interest representing equity held by non-controlling interests. 

We continually evaluate all of our transactions and investments to determine if they represent variable interests in a variable interest entity. 
If we determine that we have a variable interest in a variable interest entity, we then evaluate if we are the primary beneficiary of the variable
interest entity. The evaluation is a qualitative assessment as to whether we have the ability to direct the activities of a variable interest entity

40

MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC.

that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. We consolidate each variable interest entity in which we, by virtue of or 
transactions with our investments in the entity, are considered to be the primary beneficiary.

At December 31, 2022, we had loans and/or equity investments in certain variable interest entities approximating $633 million, which 
represents our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement in such entities. We have determined that we were not the primary 
beneficiary of any variable interest entity in which we hold a variable interest because we do not control the activities (such as the day-to-day
operations) that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities: Investments in entities in which we have the ability to significantly influence (but not control)
are accounted for by the equity method. This includes the five investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures at December 31, 
2022. Under the equity method of accounting, our share of the investee’s earnings or losses are included in the “Earnings from equity 
interests” line of our consolidated statements of net income. Except for our joint ventures with Primotop Holdings S.à.r.l. (“Primotop”) and 
Macquarie Asset Management (“MAM”) (for which we handle the accounting of), we have elected to record our share of such investee’s 
earnings or losses on a lag basis (not to exceed three months). The initial carrying value of investments in unconsolidated entities is based 
on the amount paid to purchase the interest in the investee entity. Subsequently, our investments are increased/decreased by our share in 
the investees’ earnings/losses and decreased by cash distributions from our investees. To the extent that our cost basis is different from the
basis reflected at the investee entity level, the basis difference is generally amortized over the lives of the related assets and liabilities, and 
such amortization is included in our share of equity in earnings of the investee. 

We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment based upon a comparison of the fair value of the equity method investment 
to its carrying value, when impairment indicators exist. If we determine a decline in the fair value of an investment in an unconsolidated 
investee entity below its carrying value is other-than-temporary, an impairment is recorded. 

Investments in entities in which we do not control nor do we have the ability to significantly influence and for which there is no readily 
determinable fair value (such as our investment in Steward Health Care System LLC (“Steward”)) are accounted for at cost, less any
impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions involving the investee. Cash distributions
on these types of investments are recorded to either income upon receipt (if a return on investment) or as a reduction of our investment 
(if the distributions received are in excess of our share of the investee’s earnings). For similar investments but for which there are readily
determinable fair values, such investments are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Certificates of deposit, short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less, and money-
market mutual funds are considered cash equivalents. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are held at major commercial banks, 
which at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. We have not experienced any losses to-date on our invested 
cash. Cash and cash equivalents which have been restricted as to its use are recorded in other assets.

Revenue Recognition: Our revenues are primarily from leases and loans. For leases, we follow Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-
02, “Leases”, (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases 
for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). For lessors, we apply this standard as follows: 

OPERATING LEASE REVENUE 

We receive income from operating leases based on the fixed required rents (base rents) per the lease agreements. Rent revenue from 
base rents is recorded on the straight-line method, when collectability of the lease payments is deemed probable, over the terms of the 
related lease agreements for new leases and the remaining terms of existing leases for those acquired as part of a property acquisition. The
straight-line method records the periodic average amount of base rents earned over the term of a lease, taking into account contractual rent 
increases over the lease term. The straight-line method typically has the effect of recording more rent revenue from a lease than a tenant is 
required to pay early in the term of the lease. During the later parts of a lease term, this effect reverses with less rent revenue recorded than a 
tenant is required to pay. Rent revenue, as recorded on the straight-line method, in our consolidated statements of net income is presented 
as two amounts: rent billed and straight-line rent. Rent billed revenue is the amount of base rent actually billed to our tenants each period
as required by the lease. Straight-line rent revenue is the difference between rent revenue earned based on the straight-line method and the 
amount recorded as rent billed revenue. We record the difference between rent revenues earned and amounts due per the respective lease 
agreements, as applicable, as an increase or decrease to straight-line rent receivables. 

Rental payments received prior to their recognition as income are classified as deferred revenue.

41

FINANCING LEASE REVENUE 

Under ASU 2016-02, if an acquisition and subsequent lease of a property back to the seller does not meet the definition of a sale, we must 
account for the transaction as a financing lease with income recognized using the imputed interest method. 

Another type of financing lease is a direct financing lease (“DFL”). For leases accounted for as DFLs, the future minimum lease payments are
recorded as a receivable at lease inception, while, the difference between the future minimum lease payments and the estimated residual 
values less the cost of the properties is recorded as unearned income. Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income over the lease 
term to provide a constant yield when collectability of the lease payments is reasonably assured. Investments in DFLs are presented net of 
unearned income. 

OTHER LEASING REVENUE 

We begin recording base rent income from our development projects when the lessee takes physical possession of the facility, which may 
be different from the stated start date of the lease. Also, during construction of our development projects, we may be entitled to accrue rent
based on the cost paid during the construction period (construction period rent). We accrue construction period rent as a receivable with a 
corresponding offset to deferred revenue during the construction period. When the lessee takes physical possession of the facility, we begin 
recognizing the deferred construction period revenue on the straight-line method over the term of the lease. 

We also receive additional rent (contingent rent) under some leases based on increases in the consumer price index (“CPI”) (or similar index 
outside the U.S.) or when CPI exceeds the annual minimum percentage increase as stipulated in the lease. Contingent rents are recorded as 
rent billed revenue in the period earned.

Tenant payments for ground leases along with other operating expenses, such as property taxes and insurance, that are paid directly by us 
and reimbursed by our tenants are presented on a gross basis with the related revenues recorded in “Interest and other income” and the
related expenses in “Property-related” in our consolidated statements of net income. All payments of other operating expenses made directly 
by the tenant to the applicable government or appropriate third-party vendor are recorded on a net basis.

INTEREST REVENUE 

We receive interest income from our tenants/borrowers on mortgage loans, working capital loans, and other long-term loans. Interest 
income from these loans is recognized as earned based upon the principal outstanding and terms of the loans.

OTHER REVENUE 

Commitment fees received from lessees for development and leasing services are initially recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as 
income over the initial term of a lease to produce a constant effective yield on the lease (interest method). Commitment and origination fees 
from lending services are also recorded as deferred revenue initially and recognized as income over the life of the loan using the interest 
method.

Acquired Real Estate Purchase Price Allocation: We account for acquisitions of real estate under asset acquisition accounting
rules. Under this accounting standard, we allocate the purchase price (including any third-party transaction costs directly related to the 
acquisition) of acquired properties to tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed (if any) based on their 
relative fair values. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase prices of acquired real estate, we may utilize 
a number of sources, from time-to-time, including available real estate broker data, independent appraisals that may be obtained in 
connection with the acquisition, internal data from previous acquisitions or developments, and other market data, including market 
comparables for significant assumptions such as market rental, capitalization, and discount rates. We also consider information obtained 
about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing, and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the 
tangible and intangible assets acquired.

We measure the aggregate value of lease intangible assets acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with new or 
in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if vacant. Management’s estimates of value are made using 
methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors considered by management in 
our analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions, 
and costs to execute similar leases. We also consider information obtained about each targeted facility as a result of our pre-acquisition 
due diligence, marketing, and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, 

42

MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC.

management includes real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the 
expected lease-up periods, which we expect to be about six months, but can be longer depending on specific local market conditions. 
Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal costs, and other related expenses to the
extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction. 

Other intangible assets acquired may include customer relationship intangible values which are based on management’s evaluation of the
specific characteristics of each prospective tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that tenant. Characteristics to be considered 
by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth
prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, including those
existing under the terms of the lease agreement, among other factors.

We amortize the value of our lease intangible assets to expense over the term of the respective leases. If a lease is terminated early, the 
unamortized portion of the lease intangibles are charged to expense.

We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values, if any, for our facilities, which are based on the present value of the
difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market 
lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. We 
amortize any resulting capitalized above-market lease values as a reduction of rental income over the lease term. We amortize any resulting 
capitalized below-market lease values as an increase to rental income over the lease term. If a lease is terminated early, the unamortized 
portion of the capitalized above/below market lease value is recognized in rental income at that time. 

Real Estate and Depreciation: Real estate, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, is maintained at cost. Although typically
paid by our tenants, any expenditure for ordinary maintenance and repairs that we pay are expensed to operations as incurred. Significant 
renovations and improvements, which improve and/or extend the useful life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their 
estimated useful lives. We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that
the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets, including an estimated liquidation 
amount, during the expected holding periods are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Impairment losses are measured as the 
difference between carrying value and fair value of the assets. For assets held for sale, we cease recording depreciation expense and adjust 
the assets’ value to the lower of its carrying value or fair value, less cost of disposal. Fair value is based on estimated cash flows discounted at 
a risk-adjusted rate of interest. We classify real estate assets as held for sale when we have commenced an active program to sell the assets, 
and in the opinion of management, it is probable the asset will be sold within the next 12 months.

Construction in progress includes the cost of land, the cost of construction of buildings, improvements, and fixed equipment, and costs 
for design and engineering. Other costs, such as interest, legal, property taxes, and corporate project supervision, which can be directly
associated with the project during construction, are also included in construction in progress. We commence capitalization of costs
associated with a development project when the development of the future asset is probable and activities necessary to get the underlying 
property ready for its intended use have been initiated. We stop the capitalization of costs when the property is substantially complete and
ready for its intended use. 

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related real estate and other assets. Our 
weighted-average useful lives at December 31, 2022 are as follows:

CREDIT LOSSES: 
Losses from Rent Receivables: For all leases, we continuously monitor the performance of our existing tenants including, but not limited
to: admission levels and surgery/procedure volumes by type; current operating margins; ratio of our tenant’s operating margins both to 
facility rent and to facility rent plus other fixed costs; trends in revenue, cash collections, patient mix; and the effect of evolving healthcare 
regulations, adverse economic and political conditions, such as rising inflation and interest rates, and other events ongoing on a tenant’s 
profitability and liquidity.

Losses from Operating Lease Receivables: We utilize the information above along with the tenant’s payment and default history in
evaluating (on a property-by-property basis) whether or not a provision for losses on outstanding billed rent and/or straight-line rent 
receivables is needed. A provision for losses on rent receivables (including straight-line rent receivables) is ultimately recorded when it becomes
probable that the receivable will not be collected in full. The provision is an amount which reduces the receivable to its estimated net realizable 
value based on a determination of the eventual amounts to be collected either from the debtor or from existing collateral, if any. 

Losses on Financing Lease Receivables: We apply a forward-looking “expected credit loss” model to all of our financing receivables,
including financing leases and loans. To do this, we have grouped our financial instruments into two primary pools of similar credit risk: 
secured and unsecured. The secured instruments include our investments in financing receivables as all are secured by the underlying 
real estate, among other collateral. Within the two primary pools, we further grouped our instruments into sub-pools based on several 
tenant/borrower characteristics, including years of experience in the healthcare industry and in a particular market or region and overall 
capitalization. We then determined a credit loss percentage per pool based on our history over a period of time that closely matches the 
remaining terms of the financial instruments being analyzed and adjusted as needed for current trends or unusual circumstances. We 
have applied these credit loss percentages to the book value of the related instruments to establish a credit loss reserve on our financing 
lease receivables and such credit loss reserve (including the underlying assumptions) is reviewed and adjusted quarterly. If a financing 
receivable is under performing and is deemed uncollectible based on the lessee’s overall financial condition, we will adjust the credit 
loss reserve based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. 

We made the accounting policy election to exclude interest receivables from the credit loss reserve model. Instead, such receivables are 
impaired and an allowance recorded when it is deemed probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due. Like operating lease
receivables, the need for an allowance is based upon our assessment of the lessee’s overall financial condition, economic resources and
payment record, the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors, and, if appropriate, the realizable value of any collateral. 
Financing leases are placed on non-accrual status when we determine that the collectability of contractual amounts is not reasonably assured. If 
on non-accrual status, we generally account for the financing lease on a cash basis, in which income is recognized only upon receipt of cash.

Loans: Loans consist of mortgage loans, working capital loans, and other loans. Mortgage loans are collateralized by interests in real property. 
Working capital and other loans are typically collateralized by interests in receivables and corporate and individual guarantees. We record loans 
at cost. Like our financing lease receivables, we establish credit loss reserves on all outstanding loans based on historical credit losses of similar 
instruments. Such credit loss reserves, including the underlying assumptions, are reviewed and adjusted quarterly. If a loan’s performance 
worsens and foreclosure is deemed probable for our collateral-based loans (after considering the borrower’s overall financial condition as 
described above for leases), we will adjust the allowance for expected credit losses based on the current fair value of such collateral at the time
the loan is deemed uncollectible. If the loan is not collateralized, the loan will be reserved for/written-off once it is determined that such loan
is no longer collectible. Interest receivables on loans are excluded from the forward looking credit loss reserve model; however, we assess their 
collectability similar to how we assess collectability for interest receivables on financing leases described above.

Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by including the effect of dilutive securities. 

Our unvested restricted stock awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, and accordingly, these awards are deemed to be 
participating securities. These participating securities are included in the earnings allocation in computing both basic and diluted earnings
per common share. 

Income Taxes: We conduct our business as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the
Code”). To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute to
stockholders at least 90% of our REIT’s ordinary taxable income. As a REIT, we generally pay little U.S. federal and state income tax because of 
the dividends paid deduction that we are allowed to take. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will then be subject to U.S. federal
income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax 
purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain
statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. 
However, we intend to operate in such a manner so that we will remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Our financial statements include the operations of TRS entities. None of our TRS entities are entitled to a dividends paid deduction and 
are subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. Our TRS entities are authorized to provide property development, leasing, and 
management services for third-party owned properties, and we will make non-mortgage loans to and/or investments in our lessees through 
these entities. 

With the property acquisitions and investments in Europe, Australia, and South America, we are subject to income taxes internationally. 
However, we do not expect to incur any additional income taxes, of a significant nature, in the U.S. as the majority such income from our 
international properties flows through our REIT income tax returns. For our TRS entities and international subsidiaries, we determine 
deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using 
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Any increase or decrease in our deferred tax assets/
liabilities that results from a change in circumstances and that causes us to change our judgment about expected future tax consequences 
of events, is reflected in our tax provision when such changes occur. Deferred income taxes also reflect the impact of operating loss 
carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided if we believe it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets 
will not be realized. Any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances, and that causes us to 
change our judgment about our ability to realize the related deferred tax asset, is reflected in our tax provision when such changes occur. 

The calculation of our income taxes involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in a multitude 
of jurisdictions across our global operations. An income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely 
than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the 
basis of technical merits. However, if a more likely than not position cannot be reached, we record a liability as an offset to the tax benefit
and adjust the liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of 
the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current
estimate of the uncertain tax position liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the
period in which new information is available.

Stock-Based Compensation: We adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) during the second quarter of 2019,
which was amended during the second quarter of 2022. Awards of restricted stock and other equity-based awards with service conditions
are valued at the average stock price per share on the date of grant and are amortized to compensation expense over the service periods 
(typically three years), using the straight-line method. Awards that contain market conditions are valued on the grant date using a Monte
Carlo valuation model and are amortized to compensation expense over the derived service periods, which correspond to the periods
over which we estimate the awards will be earned, which generally range from three to five years, using the straight-line method. Awards 
with performance conditions are valued at the average stock price per share on the date of grant and are amortized using the straight-line 
method over the service period, adjusted for the probability of achieving the performance conditions. Forfeitures of stock-based awards are
recognized as they occur. 

2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Deferred Costs: Costs incurred that directly relate to the offerings of stock are deferred and netted against proceeds received from the
offering. Leasing commissions and other third-party leasing costs that would not have been incurred if the lease was not obtained are 
capitalized as deferred leasing costs and amortized on the straight-line method over the terms of the related lease agreements. Costs 
identifiable with loans made to borrowers are capitalized and recognized as a reduction in interest income over the life of the loan.

Deferred Financing Costs: We generally capitalize financing costs incurred in connection with new financings and refinancings of debt.
These costs are amortized over the lives of the related debt as an addition to interest expense. For debt with defined principal re-payment 
terms, the deferred costs are amortized to produce a constant effective yield on the debt (interest method) and are included within “Debt,
net” on our consolidated balance sheets. For debt without defined principal repayment terms, such as our revolving credit facility, the
deferred costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the term of the debt and are included as a component of “Other assets” on our 
consolidated balance sheets. 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions: Certain of our international subsidiaries’ functional currencies are the local currencies of 
their respective countries. We translate the results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars using average rates of exchange in
effect during the period, and we translate balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. We record resulting
currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity on our consolidated 
balance sheets. 

Certain of our U.S. subsidiaries will enter into short-term and long-term transactions denominated in a foreign currency from time-to-time.
Gains or losses resulting from these foreign currency transactions are revalued into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the 
dates of the transactions. The effects of revaluation gains or losses on our short-term transactions are included in other income (expense)
in the consolidated statements of income, while the revaluation effects on our long-term investments are recorded in accumulated other 
comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated balance sheets. 

Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities: During our normal course of business, we may use certain types of derivative
instruments for the purpose of managing interest rate and/or foreign currency risk. We record our derivative and hedging instruments at fair 
value on the balance sheet. Changes in the estimated fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet 
the criteria for hedge accounting are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the change in the estimated fair 
value of the effective portion of the derivative is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated balance
sheets, whereas the change in the estimated fair value of the ineffective portion is recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as fair value 
hedges, the change in the estimated fair value of the effective portion of the derivatives offsets the change in the estimated fair value of the 
hedged item, whereas the change in the estimated fair value of the ineffective portion is recognized in earnings.

To qualify for hedge accounting, we formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk
management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge prior to entering into a derivative transaction. This process includes specific
identification of the hedging instrument and the hedge transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the hedging instrument’s 
effectiveness in hedging the exposure to the hedged transaction’s variability in cash flows attributable to the hedged risk will be assessed. 
Both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, we assess whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are 
highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows or fair values of hedged items. In addition, for cash flow hedges, we assess whether the
underlying forecasted transaction will occur. We discontinue hedge accounting if a derivative is not determined to be highly effective as a
hedge or that it is probable that the underlying forecasted transaction will not occur.

Fair Value Measurement: We measure and disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation
techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. 
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. This 
hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

•
•

•

Level 1 — quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
r
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not 
active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and 
Level 3 — fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers
are unobservable.

MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC.

We measure fair value using a set of standardized procedures that are outlined herein for all assets and liabilities which are required to be 
measured at their estimated fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. When available, we utilize quoted market prices from an 
independent third party source to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1. In some instances where a market price is available, 
but the instrument is in an inactive or over-the-counter market, we apply the dealer (market maker) pricing estimate and classify the asset or 
liability in Level 2.

If quoted market prices or inputs are not available, fair value measurements are based upon valuation models that utilize current market 
or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, option volatilities, credit spreads, market capitalization rates, etc. Items 
valued using such internally-generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair 
value measurement. As a result, the asset or liability could be classified in either Level 2 or 3 even though there may be some significant 
inputs that are readily observable. Internal fair value models and techniques that have been used by us include discounted cash flow and
Monte Carlo valuation models. We also consider counterparty’s and our own credit risk on derivatives and other liabilities measured at their 
estimated fair value. 

Fair Value Option Election: For our equity investment in the international joint venture and equity interest in Springstone Health Opco, 
LLC (“Springstone”), along with any related investments such as loans (see Note 3 for more details), we have elected to account for these
investments at fair value due to the size of the investments and because we believe this method is more reflective of current values. We have 
not made a similar election for other investments that exist at December 31, 2022. 

LEASES (LESSEE) 

Pursuant to ASU 2016-02, we are required to apply a dual approach, classifying leases (in which we are the lessee) as either financing or 
operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase. This classification determines whether 
lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method (for finance leases) or on a straight-line basis (for operating leases) over 
the term of the lease. We record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all material leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless 
of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are off balance sheet with lease expense recognized on a straight-line basis
over the lease term. 

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation. For the year ended December 31, 2021, $39.4 million has been reclassified from “Other (including fair value adjustments on
securities)” to “Real estate and other impairment charges, net” in our consolidated statements of Net Income. There is no impact to net income.

(1) The 2021 column includes an £800 million mortgage loan advanced to the Priory Group (“Priory”) in the first quarter of 2021 and converted to fee simple
ownership of 35 properties in the second quarter of 2021 as described below. The 2020 column includes approximately $740 million of loans advanced to
Steward in 2017 and exchanged for the fee simple real estate of two hospitals as described below, as well as approximately $100 million of loans advanced 
to Ernest Health, Inc. (“Ernest”) in 2012 and exchanged for the fee simple real estate of four hospitals as described below. 

(2) In the 2022 second quarter, we increased our mortgage loan to Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. (“Prospect”) that was originated in 2019 and that is
secured by a first lien on a California hospital. The loan bears interest at a current market rate plus a component of additional interest upon repayment.

2022 ACTIVITY 
Macquarie Transaction 
On March 14, 2022, we completed a transaction with Macquarie Asset Management (“MAM”), an unrelated party, to form a partnership
(the “Macquarie Transaction”), pursuant to which we contributed eight Massachusetts-based general acute care hospitals that are leased 
to Steward, and a fund managed by MAM acquired, for cash consideration, a 50% interest in the partnership. The transaction valued the
portfolio at approximately $1.7 billion, and we recognized a gain on sale of real estate of approximately $600 million from this transaction, 
partially offset by the write-off of unbilled straight-line rent receivables. The partnership raised nonrecourse secured debt of 55% of asset 
value, and we received proceeds, including from the secured debt, of approximately $1.3 billion. We obtained a 50% interest in the real estate
partnership valued at approximately $400 million (included in the “Investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures” line of our 
consolidated balance sheets), which is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

In connection with this transaction, we separated the eight Massachusetts-based facilities into a separate master lease with terms generally 
identical to the other master lease, and the initial fixed lease term of both master leases were extended to 2041.

Other Transactions
On December 9, 2022, we acquired six behavioral health facilities in the United Kingdom for £233 million ($286 million), plus customary tax and
other transaction costs. These hospitals are leased to Priory pursuant to separate long-term leases with inflation-based escalators. As part of this 
transaction, the third-party seller of the real estate provided £105 million of seller financing - see Note 4 for further details on this debt. 

48

MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC.

On March 11, 2022, we acquired four general acute care hospitals in Finland for €178 million ($194 million). These hospitals are leased to 
Pihlajalinna pursuant to a long-term lease with annual inflation-based escalators. We acquired these facilities by the share purchase of real 
estate holding entities that included deferred income tax and other liabilities of approximately $26 million.

On February 16, 2022, we agreed to participate in an existing syndicated term loan with a term of six years originated on behalf of Priory. We 
funded £96.5 million towards a £100 million participation level, reflecting a 3.5% discount. The loan carries a variable rate that was 8.3% at
December 31, 2022. 

Other investments in 2022 included the acquisition of six general acute care facilities and the origination of a CHF 60 million mortgage loan 
to Infracore SA (“Infracore”). Of the assets acquired, three were general acute care facilities located throughout Spain, acquired on April 
29, 2022 for €27 million, and leased to GenesisCare pursuant to a long-term lease with annual inflation-based escalators. In addition, two 
general acute care facilities, one in Arizona and the other in Florida, were acquired on April 18 and 25, 2022, respectively, for approximately 
$80 million and leased to Steward pursuant to an already existing master lease agreement with annual inflation-based escalators. The other 
general acute care facility, located in Colombia, was acquired on July 29, 2022 for $26 million and leased to Fundación Cardiovascular de 
Colombia pursuant to a long-term lease with inflation-based escalators.

2021 ACTIVITY 
Priory Group Transaction
On January 19, 2021, we completed the first of two phases in the Priory transaction in which we funded an £800 million interim mortgage 
loan on an identified portfolio of Priory real estate assets in the United Kingdom. On June 25, 2021, we completed the second phase of the 
transaction in which we converted this mortgage loan to fee simple ownership in a portfolio of 35 select real estate assets from Priory (which
is currently owned by Waterland Private Equity Fund VII C.V. (“Waterland VII”)) in individual sale-and-leaseback transactions. Therefore, the
net aggregate purchase price for the real estate assets we acquired from Priory was approximately £800 million, plus customary stamp duty, 
tax, and other transaction costs. As part of the real estate acquisition (for which some of the assets were acquired by the share purchase of 
real estate holding entities), we incurred deferred income tax liabilities and other liabilities of approximately £47.1 million. 

In addition to the real estate investment, on January 19, 2021, we made a £250 million acquisition loan to Waterland VII, in connection with 
the closing of Waterland VII’s acquisition of Priory, which was repaid in full plus interest on October 22, 2021. 

Finally, we acquired a 9.9% passive equity interest in the Waterland VII affiliate that indirectly owns Priory. 

OTHER TRANSACTIONS 

On December 2, 2021, we acquired the remaining 50% interest in a general acute hospital operated by IMED Hospitales (“IMED”) in Valencia, 
Spain, which was formerly owned by our joint venture partner. We followed the asset acquisition cost accumulation model to account 
for this acquisition and included the carrying amount of our previously held equity interest, along with the approximately €46 million 
consideration paid and direct transaction costs incurred, in determining the total cost allocated to the net assets acquired. 

On October 21, 2021, we acquired an acute care facility in Portugal for €17.8 million. This facility is leased to Atrys Health pursuant to a long-
term master lease with annual escalations.

On October 19, 2021, we invested in 18 inpatient behavioral health facilities throughout the U.S. and an interest in the operations of 
Springstone for total consideration of $950 million (including an acquisition loan of approximately $185 million), plus closing and other 
transaction costs. We also incurred deferred income tax liabilities of approximately $8.0 million. These facilities are leased to Springstone 
pursuant to a long-term master lease with annual escalations and multiple extension options. 

On August 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of five general acute care hospitals located in South Florida for approximately $900 million,
plus closing and other transaction costs. These hospitals are leased to Steward pursuant to a master lease, with annual inflation-based 
escalators. 

On July 6, 2021, we acquired four acute care hospitals and two on-campus medical office buildings in Los Angeles, California for $215 million.
These hospitals are leased to Pipeline Health System, LLC (“Pipeline”) pursuant to a long-term lease with annual inflation-based escalators. 

On July 6, 2021, we also acquired an acute care hospital in Stirling, Scotland for £15.6 million. This hospital is leased to Circle Health Ltd. 
(“Circle”) pursuant to a long-term lease with annual inflation-based escalators.

2022 ANNUAL REPORT

49

On April 16, 2021, we made a CHF 145 million investment in Swiss Medical Network, our tenant via our Infracore equity investment. 

On January 8, 2021, we made a $335 million loan to affiliates of Steward, all of the proceeds of which were used to redeem a similarly sized 
convertible loan held by Steward’s former private equity sponsor. 

2020 ACTIVITY 
Circle Transaction 
On January 8, 2020, we acquired a portfolio of 30 acute care hospitals located throughout the United Kingdom for approximately £1.5 billion 
from affiliates of BMI Healthcare, Inc. (“BMI”), as part of a share purchase in which we also inherited certain net deferred income tax and other 
liabilities and £27.6 million of unearned rent revenue. In a related transaction, affiliates of Circle acquired BMI and assumed its operations in 
the United Kingdom. As part of our acquisition, we inherited 30 existing leases with the operator that had initial fixed terms ending in 2050, 
with no renewal options but with annual inflation-based escalators. Effective June 16, 2020, these 30 leases were amended to include two 
five-year renewal options and improve the annual inflation-based escalators. These 30 leases are cross-defaulted and guaranteed by Circle. 

OTHER TRANSACTIONS 

On December 31, 2020, we acquired an inpatient rehabilitation hospital in South Carolina for approximately $17 million. As part of the
transaction, we acquired the fee simple real estate of three inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and one long-term acute care hospital in 
exchange for the reduction of the mortgage loans made to Ernest for such properties in 2012. These five facilities, with an approximate $115
million total investment, are leased to Ernest pursuant to an existing long-term master lease with multiple extension options and annual 
escalation provisions.

On December 29, 2020, we increased our equity ownership and related investment in Infracore by investing an additional CHF 206.5 million. 
We are accounting for our total investment in this joint venture (this investment along with our initial investment in 2019 as noted below) 
under the equity method. 

On August 13, 2020, we acquired a general acute care hospital in Lynwood, California for a total investment of approximately $300 million. 
This property is leased to Prime Healthcare Services, Inc. (“Prime”) pursuant to a long-term master lease with annual escalations and 
multiple extension options. 

On July 8, 2020, we acquired the fee simple real estate of two general acute care hospitals located in the Salt Lake City, Utah area, Davis 
Hospital & Medical Center and Jordan Valley Medical Center, in exchange for the reduction of the mortgage loans made to Steward for such 
properties and additional cash consideration of $200 million based on their relative fair value. The approximate $950 million investment in
these two facilities is subject to a Steward master lease.

On June 24, 2020, we originated a CHF 45 million secured loan to Infracore, which was paid in full on December 2, 2020.

On May 13, 2020, we formed a joint venture for the purpose of investing in the operations of international hospitals. As part of the formation,
we originated a $205 million acquisition loan. We have a 49% interest in this joint venture and are accounting for our investment using the 
fair value option election. The joint venture simultaneously purchased from Steward the rights and existing assets related to all present and 
future international opportunities previously owned by Steward for strategic, regulatory, and risk management purposes. Through this joint 
venture, we invested, on November 17, 2020, in the real estate of three general acute care hospitals in Colombia for approximately $135
million. These properties are operated by the international joint venture.

Other acquisitions in 2020 included three inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, two general acute care hospitals, and one private acute care 
hospital totaling approximately $300 million. One inpatient rehabilitation facility, located in Dahlen, Germany, was acquired on August 5,
2020 for €12.5 million and is leased to MEDIAN Kliniken S.á.r.l. (“MEDIAN”) pursuant to the existing master lease. One of the general acute care
facilities, located in Darlington, United Kingdom, was acquired on August 7, 2020 for £29.4 million and is leased to Circle pursuant to a long-
term lease. The other general acute care hospital, located in London, United Kingdom, was acquired on November 25, 2020 for £50 million 
via the purchase of a 999-year ground lease and is leased to The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust pursuant to a long-term lease. The 
inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, one in Texas and one in Indiana, were acquired on December 17, 2020 for approximately $58 million and 
are leased to Post Acute Medical, LLC pursuant to a long-term lease. The private acute care hospital, located in Reading, United Kingdom, 
was acquired on December 18, 2020 for £85.0 million and is leased to Circle pursuant to the existing long-term Circle master lease.

DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES 
2022 Activity
During 2022, we agreed to finance the development of five new projects. One of these development projects is a behavioral health facility 
in McKinney, Texas with a total budget of approximately $35 million. This facility will be leased to Springstone pursuant to the existing 
long-term master lease. The second development project is an inpatient rehabilitation facility in Cayce, South Carolina with a total budget
of approximately $22 million. This facility will be leased to Ernest pursuant to an existing long-term master lease. In addition, we agreed to
finance the development of and lease three general acute care facilities located throughout Spain for a total commitment of approximately 
€120 million. These facilities will be leased to our existing tenant, IMED, under a long-term master lease agreement.

During the 2022 first quarter, we completed construction and began recording rental income on an inpatient rehabilitation facility located in 
Bakersfield, California. This facility commenced rent on March 1, 2022 and is being leased to Ernest pursuant to an existing long-term master 
lease. 

2021 Activity
In the fourth quarter of 2021, we agreed to finance the development of and lease an acute care facility in Texarkana, Texas for $169.4 million. 
After initial delays with a change in the general contractor, physical construction has begun with an updated expected completion date of the
first quarter of 2026. This facility will be leased to Steward pursuant to an existing long-term master lease. 

2020 Activity
On November 23, 2020, we agreed to finance the development of and lease an inpatient rehabilitation facility in Stockton, California for $47.7
million. This facility will be leased to Ernest pursuant to an existing long-term master lease.

2022 Activity 
On March 14, 2022, we completed the previously described partnership with MAM, in which we sold the real estate of eight Massachusetts-
based general acute care hospitals, with a fair value of approximately $1.7 billion. See “New Investments” in this Note 3 for further details on
this transaction.

During 2022, we also completed the sale of 15 other facilities (including 11 properties sold on September 1, 2022 related to the Prime 
repurchase option for proceeds of $366 million) and five ancillary properties for total proceeds of approximately $522 million and recognized 
a gain on real estate of approximately $100 million, along with a $42 million write-off of straight-line rent receivables due to the early
termination of certain properties’ expected lease terms.

2021 Activity 
During the 2021 fourth quarter, we sold our interest in the operations of three operators (two of which were in Germany) for proceeds of 
approximately $54.5 million, resulting in a net gain of approximately $40 million. 

During 2021, we also completed the sale of 16 facilities and an ancillary property for approximately $246 million, resulting in a net gain on
real estate of approximately $52.5 million.

2020 Activity 
During 2020, we completed the sale of nine facilities and six ancillary properties for approximately $94 million, resulting in a net loss of $2.8 million.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, our intangible lease assets were $1.4 billion ($1.2 billion, net of accumulated amortization) and $1.4 billion
($1.3 billion, net of accumulated amortization), respectively. 

We recorded amortization expense related to intangible lease assets of $55.9 million, $56.0 million, and $42.4 million in 2022, 2021, and 2020, 
respectively, and expect to recognize amortization expense from existing lease intangible assets as follows (amounts in thousands):

LEASING OPERATIONS (LESSOR) 

We acquire and develop healthcare facilities and lease the facilities to healthcare operating companies. The initial fixed lease terms of these
infrastructure-type assets are typically at least 15 years, and most include renewal options at the election of our tenants, generally in five year 
increments. Over 99% of our leases provide annual rent escalations based on increases in the CPI (or similar indices outside the U.S.) and/
or fixed minimum annual rent escalations. Many of our domestic leases contain purchase options with pricing set at various terms but in no 
case less than our total initial investment. For three properties with a carrying value of approximately $110 million at December 31, 2022, 
our leases require a residual value guarantee from the tenant. Our leases typically require the tenant to handle and bear most of the costs
associated with our properties including repair/maintenance, property taxes, and insurance. We routinely inspect our properties to ensure 
our assets are being maintained properly and in compliance with the terms of our leases. 

The following table summarizes total future minimum lease payments to be received, excluding operating expense reimbursements, from 
tenants under noncancelable leases as of December 31, 2022 (amounts in thousands):

For all of our properties subject to lease, we are the legal owner of the property and the tenant's right to use and possess such property is 
guided by the terms of a lease. At December 31, 2022, we account for all of these leases as operating leases, except where GAAP requires 
alternative classification, including leases on 13 Ernest facilities and three Prime facilities that are accounted for as DFLs and leases on 13
of our Prospect facilities and five of our Ernest facilities that are accounted for as a financing. The components of our total investment in 
financing leases consisted of the following (in thousands):

The decrease in total investment in financing leases during 2022 is primarily related to financing leases associated with two properties sold
on September 1, 2022 associated with the Prime repurchase transaction, along with the impairment associated with our Prospect properties, 
as discussed further below. 

COVID-19 Rent Deferrals
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our tenants’ business, we agreed to defer collection of a certain amount of rent for a few 
tenants. Pursuant to our agreements with these tenants, we expect repayments of previously deferred rent to continue, with the remaining
outstanding deferred rent balance of approximately $14.6 million as of December 31, 2022, to be paid over specified periods in the future
with interest.

2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Prospect Medical Holdings
In August 2019, we invested in a portfolio of 14 acute care hospitals in three states (California, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut) operated by
Prospect for a combined purchase price of approximately $1.5 billion. In addition, we originated a $112.9 million term loan secured by a 
parent guaranty. In the 2022 second quarter, we funded an additional $100 million towards the existing mortgage loan that is secured by a 
first lien on a California hospital.

Prospect (like other healthcare systems around the world) struggled through the COVID-19 pandemic, starting in early 2020 and continuing 
through much of the 2022 first quarter with the impact from the Omicron variant. Although admissions, surgeries, and ER visits are back above
pre-COVID levels at their California and Connecticut properties, Prospect’s four Pennsylvania facilities are still trailing. Now with the impact of 
higher labor and other costs due to inflation, Prospect has experienced a decline in cash flows during 2022. Prospect has been working through
various restructuring plans to manage their cash flow. Some of these plans have made it to the binding commitment stage, including the 
expected sale of their Connecticut properties to Yale New Haven Health (“Yale”) announced in October 2022, while others have not.

Until the 2022 fourth quarter, Prospect was current on its rent and interest obligations under the various agreements. However, with rent and 
interest now past due and certain of Prospect’s restructuring plans yet to be finalized, we recorded an approximate $280 million impairment 
charge in the 2022 fourth quarter, as shown in “Real estate and other impairment charges, net” on the consolidated statements of net
income. As part of this charge, we reduced the carrying value of the underperforming Pennsylvania properties by approximately $170 million
(to approximately $250 million) and reserved all non-cash rent for a total of $112 million. We expect to record rent on our Prospect leases 
on a cash basis for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2022, we believe our remaining investment in the Prospect real estate and other 
assets are fully recoverable, but no assurances can be given that we will not have any further impairments in future periods. 

Pipeline Health System
On October 2, 2022, Pipeline filed for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 protection of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Southern 
District of Texas, while keeping its hospitals open to continue providing care to the communities served. On February 6, 2023, Pipeline 
emerged from bankruptcy. Per the bankruptcy settlement, Pipeline’s current lease of our California assets remains in place, and we were
repaid on February 7, 2023 for all rent that was outstanding at December 31, 2022, along with what was due for January and February 2023.
We have agreed to defer $5.6 million, or approximately 30%, of rent in 2023 to be paid in 2024 with interest. We also agreed to provide 
approximately $11 million in capital funding for Pipeline to complete their behavioral facility addition to the Coast Plaza Hospital, which will 
result in increased rent to us upon completion. As of December 31, 2022, assets leased to Pipeline represent 1% of our total assets, which we
believe are fully recoverable at this time. However, no assurances can be given that we will not have any write-offs or impairments in future 
periods. 

Watsonville Community Hospital
On September 30, 2019, we acquired the real estate of Watsonville Community Hospital in Watsonville, California for $40 million, which 
was then leased to Halsen Healthcare. In addition, we made a working capital loan to Halsen Healthcare. The hospital operator faced 
significant financial challenges over a two-year period that were worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, we increased the 
loan in an effort to support the operator of this facility, allowing it to continue to serve the community’s needs. On December 5, 2021, Halsen 
Healthcare filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in order to reorganize, while keeping the hospital open. As such, we recorded a credit loss reserve 
of approximately $40 million against the estimated uncollectible portion of the loan and wrote off approximately $2.5 million of billed and 
straight-line rent receivables. 

On February 23, 2022, the bankruptcy court approved the bid by Pajaro Valley Healthcare District Corporation (“Pajaro”) to purchase the 
operations of the Watsonville Community Hospital and lease the real estate from us. On August 31, 2022, Pajaro completed this purchase 
of the operations of the Watsonville Community Hospital. As a result of this transaction, we were repaid approximately $32 million of the 
loans previously provided to the hospital. This loan repayment resulted in a net credit loss recovery of approximately $15 million in 2022 and 
reflected in the “Real estate and other impairment charges, net” line of the consolidated statements of net income. To date, Pajaro has been 
current on its monthly rental payments to us.

OTHER LEASING ACTIVITIES 
2022 Activity
At December 31, 2022, 99% of our properties are occupied by tenants, leaving five properties as vacant, representing less than 0.3% of total 
assets. We are in various stages of either releasing or selling these vacant properties, for one of which we received and recorded a significant
termination fee in 2019.

2021 Activity
On December 23, 2021, Lifepoint Health, Inc. (“Lifepoint”) announced the completion of the transaction with Kindred Healthcare 
(“Kindred”), in which Lifepoint acquired Kindred, and announced the related launch of ScionHealth, a new healthcare company made up 
of a combination of former Kindred and Lifepoint hospitals. With this transaction, we have eight properties leased to ScionHealth and nine
properties leased to Lifepoint. 

2020 Activity
On July 24, 2020, we re-leased our five San Antonio, Texas free standing emergency facilities (with a total investment of approximately $30
million) to Methodist Healthcare System of San Antonio, a joint venture between HCA and Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas,
pursuant to a long-term master lease. As a result, we recorded an approximate $1.5 million write-off of straight-line rent in the 2020 third quarter. 

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES 
Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures 
Our primary business strategy is to acquire real estate and lease to providers of healthcare services. Typically, we directly own 100% of 
such investment. However, from time-to-time, we will co-invest with other investors that share a similar view that hospital real estate is a 
necessary infrastructure-type asset in communities. In these types of investments, we will own undivided interests of less than 100% of the 
real estate and share control over the assets through unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. The underlying real estate and leases in these 
unconsolidated real estate joint ventures are structured similarly and carry a similar risk profile to the rest of our real estate portfolio.

this same Note 3 for a discussion of the Macquarie Transaction. 

Investments in Unconsolidated Operating Entities
Our investments in unconsolidated operating entities are noncontrolling investments that are typically made in conjunction with larger real 
estate transactions in which the operators are vetted as part of our overall underwriting process. In many cases, we would not be able to
acquire the larger real estate portfolio without such investments in operators. These investments also offer the opportunity to enhance our 
overall return and provide for certain minority rights and protections.

  $     1,289,434 

The increase during 2022 is primarily due to our investment in the Priory syndicated term loan as described under “New Investments” in this 
Note 3. In the 2022 fourth quarter, Steward sold its managed care business to Caremax and received shares of Caremax plus cash, along with 
the potential for additional stock contingent on performance. As part of this transaction, we received a dividend of Caremax shares that are 
marked to fair value each period. 

Pursuant to our approximate 5% stake in Aevis and other investments marked to fair value, we recorded a $2.3 million favorable non-cash 
fair value adjustment during 2022 as shown in the “Other (including fair value adjustments on securities)” line of the consolidated statements 
of net income; whereas, this was an $8.2 million favorable non-cash fair value adjustment in 2021. We also earned approximately $4 million
of dividend income from our Switzerland investments during 2022.

Pursuant to our existing 9.9% equity interest in Steward, we received an $11 million cash distribution during 2021, which was accounted for 
as a return of capital.

OTHER INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES 

In the 2022 second quarter, we loaned $150 million to Steward pursuant to a five-year secured loan. The loan bears interest at a current 
market rate (comparable to recent lease rates) plus a component of additional interest upon repayment. The loan is prepayable without
penalty and is mandatorily prepayable upon certain sales of Steward assets and operations.

Concentration of Credit Risks
We monitor concentration risk in several ways due to the nature of our real estate assets that are vital to the communities in which they are
located and given our history of being able to replace inefficient operators of our facilities, if needed, with more effective operators:

1)

Facility concentration – At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our largest single property represented approximately 2.7% of our 
total assets.

2) Operator concentration – For the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, revenue from each of Steward, Circle, and 

Prospect individually represented more than 10% of our total revenues.

3) Geographic concentration – At December 31, 2022, investments in the U.S., Europe, Australia, and South America represented 

approximately 61%, 33%, 5%, and 1%, respectively, of our total assets compared to 64%, 30%, 5%, and 1%, respectively, of our total
assets at December 31, 2021.

56

MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC.

4)

Facility type concentration – For the year ended December 31, 2022, approximately 76% of our revenues were generated from our 
general acute care facilities, while revenues from our behavioral and rehabilitation facilities made up 13% and 7%, respectively. 
Freestanding ER/urgent care facilities and long-term acute care facilities combined to make up the remaining 4%. In comparison, 
general acute care, behavioral, and rehabilitation facilities made up 81%, 8%, and 7%, respectively, of our total revenues for the year 
ended December 31, 2021. Revenues from our freestanding ER/urgent care, and long-term acute care facilities combined to make up 
approximately 4% for the year ended December 31, 2021. 

(For geographic and facility type concentration metrics above, we allocate our investments in operating entities pro rata based on the gross 
book value of the real estate. Such pro rata allocations are subject to change from period to period.) 

Related Party Transactions 
Lease and interest revenue earned from tenants and real estate joint ventures in which we had an equity interest (accounted for under either the
equity or fair value option methods) during the year were $135.5 million, $63.9 million, and $29.8 million for 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. 

See subsections “New Investments” and “Disposals” in this Note 3 as it relates to our investments in Springstone and the international and 
Infracore ventures for other related party transactions during 2022, 2021, and 2020.

On May 6, 2022, we increased the amount of our unsecured credit facility (“Credit Facility”) by $500 million by exercising the accordion feature.
In addition, our revolver and U.S. dollar term loan were modified with Secured Overnight Financing Rate as a replacement reference rate to U.S. 
dollar LIBOR. Currently, our Credit Facility includes a $1.8 billion unsecured revolving loan facility and a $200 million unsecured term loan facility. 

On June 29, 2022, we amended our Credit Facility. The amendment extended the maturity date of our revolving facility to June 30, 2026 with our 
option to extend for an additional 12 months. The maturity date of our $200 million unsecured term loan facility was extended to June 30, 2027. 
Additionally, we may request incremental term loan and/or revolving loan commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1 billion.

In addition, the amendment improved interest rate spreads for both facilities. Under the amended Credit Facility and at our election, loans 
may be made as either ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans. The applicable margin for term loans that are ABR Loans is adjustable on a 
sliding scale from 0.00% to 0.70% based on current credit rating. The applicable margin for term loans that are Term Benchmark Loans is
adjustable on a sliding scale from 0.875% to 1.70% based on current credit rating. The applicable margin for revolving loans that are ABR 
Loans is adjustable on a sliding scale from 0.00% to 0.50% based on current credit rating. The applicable margin for revolving loans that are 
Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, as defined in the Credit Facility agreement, is adjustable on a sliding scale from 0.80% to 1.50% based 
on current credit rating. The facility fee is adjustable on a sliding scale from 0.125% to 0.30% (currently 0.25%) based on current credit rating 
and is payable on the revolving loan facility. 

At December 31, 2022, we had $929.6 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility, whereas, we had $730.0 million outstanding on our 
revolving credit facility at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, our availability under our revolving credit facility was $0.9 billion 
and $0.6 billion, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on the revolving facility was 3.8% and 1.3% during 2022 and 2021, respectively. 

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the interest rate in effect on our term loan was 5.70% and 1.56%, respectively.

INTERIM CREDIT FACILITIES 
January 2021 Interim Credit Facility 
On January 15, 2021, we entered into a $900 million interim credit facility (“January 2021 Interim Credit Facility”), of which we borrowed 
£500 million to partially fund the Priory Group Transaction. We paid off and terminated this facility on March 26, 2021 with proceeds from the 
issuance of the 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 and the 3.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2030.

July 2021 Interim Credit Facility
On July 27, 2021, we entered into a $1 billion interim credit facility with Barclays Bank PLC as administrative agent (“July 2021 Interim Credit
Facility”), and several lenders from time-to-time are parties thereto. We used this facility to partially fund the acquisition of five South Florida
facilities in August 2021 and the Springstone investments in October 2021. At December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance under this facility 
was $869.6 million.

On March 15, 2022, we paid off and terminated the July 2021 Interim Credit Facility with proceeds from the Macquarie Transaction as more 
fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

NON-U.S. TERM LOANS 
British Pound Sterling Term Loan due 2024
On December 9, 2022, we entered into a £105 million unsecured sterling-denominated term loan, of which we used to partially fund the 
Priory acquisition on the same date. This term loan matures on December 9, 2024, and has a fixed interest rate of 5.250%.

British Pound Sterling Term Loan due 2025
On January 6, 2020, we entered into a £700 million unsecured sterling-denominated term loan with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative
agent, and several lenders from time-to-time are parties thereto. The term loan matures on January 15, 2025. The applicable margin under 
the term loan is adjustable based on a pricing grid from 0.85% to 1.65% dependent on our current credit rating. On March 4, 2020, we 
entered into an interest rate swap transaction (effective March 6, 2020) to fix the interest rate to approximately 0.70% for the duration of the
loan. The current applicable margin for the pricing grid (which can vary based on our credit rating) is 1.25% for an all-in fixed rate of 1.95%. 

Australian Term Loan
On May 23, 2019, we entered into an A$1.2 billion term loan with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and several lenders from 
time-to-time are parties thereto. The term loan matures on May 23, 2024. The interest rate under the term loan is adjustable based on a 
pricing grid from 0.85% to 1.65%, dependent on our current senior unsecured credit rating. On June 27, 2019, we entered into an interest rate
swap transaction (effective July 3, 2019) to fix the interest rate to approximately 1.20% for the duration of the loan as long as the reference
rate stays above 0.00%. The current applicable margin for the pricing grid (which can vary based on our credit rating) is 1.25% for an all-in 
fixed rate of 2.45%. 

Interest Rate Swaps
At December 31, 2022, we had a derivative asset of approximately $93.2 million related to the combination of the sterling-denominated
term loan interest rate swap and the Australian dollar term loan interest rate swap. At December 31, 2021, we had a derivative asset of 
approximately $12.4 million related to the sterling-denominated term loan interest rate swap and a derivative liability of approximately $4.2
million related to the Australian dollar term loan interest rate swap. Derivative assets are included in “Other assets” while, the derivative 
liabilities are included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” on our consolidated balance sheets.

We may repurchase, redeem, or refinance senior unsecured notes from time-to-time. We may purchase senior notes for cash through 
open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or a tender offer. In some cases, we may redeem some or all of the notes at any 
time, but may require a redemption premium that will decrease over time. In the event of a change of control, each holder of the notes
may require us to repurchase some or all of our notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes
plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. Redemptions and repurchases of debt, if any, will depend on prevailing market 
conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. 

DEBT REFINANCING AND UNUTILIZED FINANCING COSTS 
2022 
In 2022, we incurred approximately $9.5 million of debt refinancing costs. These costs were incurred as a result of the payoff of our July 2021 
Interim Credit Facility with proceeds from the Macquarie Transaction on March 14, 2022, along with the amendment of our Credit Facility on 
June 29, 2022.

2021 
With the termination of our January 2021 Interim Credit Facility and other debt activity, we incurred approximately $7.3 million of debt 
refinancing costs in 2021.

With proceeds from our 0.993% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 offering, on October 22, 2021, we redeemed all of our outstanding €500
million aggregate principal amount of 4.000% senior unsecured notes that were due in 2022, including accrued and unpaid interest. As a 
result of this redemption, we incurred a charge of approximately $20 million (including redemption premiums and accelerated amortization 
of deferred debt issuance costs). 

2020 
With proceeds from our 3.500% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2031 offering in 2020, we redeemed all of our outstanding $500.0 million 
aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes that were due in 2024 and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 
5.500% senior unsecured notes that were due in 2024, including accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of these redemptions, we incurred a 
charge of approximately $28 million (including redemption premiums and accelerated amortization of deferred debt issuance costs). 

COVENANTS 

Our debt facilities impose certain restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to: incur debts; create or incur liens; provide guarantees 
in respect of obligations of any other entity; make redemptions and repurchases of our capital stock; prepay, redeem, or repurchase debt; 
engage in mergers or consolidations; enter into affiliated transactions; dispose of real estate or other assets; and change our business. In 
addition, the credit agreements governing our Credit Facility limit the amount of dividends we can pay as a percentage of normalized adjusted
funds from operations (“NAFFO”), as defined in the agreements, on a rolling four quarter basis. At December 31, 2022, the dividend restriction 
was 95% of NAFFO. The indentures governing our senior unsecured notes also limit the amount of dividends we can pay based on the sum of 
95% of NAFFO, proceeds of equity issuances, and certain other net cash proceeds. Finally, our senior unsecured notes require us to maintain
total unencumbered assets (as defined in the related indenture) of not less than 150% of our unsecured indebtedness. 

In addition to these restrictions, the Credit Facility contains customary financial and operating covenants, including covenants relating to 
our total leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, secured leverage ratio, consolidated adjusted net worth, unsecured leverage ratio, and 
unsecured interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including among others, nonpayment of 
principal or interest, material inaccuracy of representations, and failure to comply with our covenants. If an event of default occurs and is 
continuing under the Credit Facility, the entire outstanding balance may become immediately due and payable. At December 31, 2022, we
were in compliance with all such financial and operating covenants.

MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC.

5. Income Taxes 
We have maintained and intend to maintain our election as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of 
organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. 
As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if we distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and 
satisfy certain other requirements; instead, income tax is paid directly by our stockholders on the dividends distributed to them. If our REIT 
taxable income exceeds our dividends in a tax year, REIT tax rules allow us to designate dividends from the subsequent tax year in order to avoid 
current taxation on undistributed income. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular 
corporate rates. Taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through our TRS entities is subject to applicable U.S. federal, state, and local 
income taxes. Our international subsidiaries are also subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which they operate. 

From our TRS entities and our foreign operations, income tax (expense) benefit were as follows (in thousands):

2022 ANNUAL REPORT

61

 
In 2022, we incurred approximately $5 million of income tax expense from the credit loss recovery on loans made to the Watsonville 
Community Hospital; whereas, in 2021, we recorded an approximate $10 million income tax benefit related to the initial loan impairment, as 
more fully described in Note 3 of this Annual Report.

During the 2021 second quarter, the United Kingdom enacted an increase in its corporate income tax rates from 19% to 25% effective April 1,
2023, which resulted in a one-time adjustment to our net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $43 million. 

The foreign provision for income taxes is based on foreign profit before income taxes of $159.6 million, $164.0 million, and $62.1 million in 
2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

The domestic provision for income taxes is based on income (loss) before income taxes of $10.8 million in 2022, $(29.7) million in 2021, and 
$6.4 million in 2020 from our TRS entities.

VALUATION ALLOWANCE 

A valuation allowance has been recorded on certain foreign and domestic net operating loss carryforwards and other net deferred tax assets 
that may not be realized. As of each reporting date, we consider all new evidence that could impact the future realization of our deferred 
tax assets. In the evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance on our deferred income tax assets, we consider all available positive 
and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, carryback of future period losses to prior periods,
projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance. 

During 2022, a valuation allowance of $9.8 million has been recorded against a portion of our deferred tax assets to recognize only the components 
of the deferred tax assets that is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance was primarily recorded against deferred tax assets for 
NOLs, non-depreciable basis of real property, and other tax attributes that we believe will not be realized. Valuation allowance activity recorded
generally follows the activity of the associated deferred tax asset that is not expected to be recognized. From time-to-time, we may acquire deferred
tax assets as part of real estate transactions and will assess the need for a valuation allowance as part of the opening balance sheet. Additionally, 
valuation allowances will be remeasured for foreign currency translation fluctuations through other comprehensive income. 

We have no material uncertain tax position liabilities and related interest or penalties. 

REIT STATUS 

We have met the annual REIT distribution requirements by payment of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income in 2022, 2021, and 2020.
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of such distributions, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting 
purposes due primarily to differences in cost basis, differences in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation, and differences 
between the allocation of our net income and loss for financial reporting purposes and for tax reporting purposes. 

A schedule of per share distributions we paid and reported to our stockholders is set forth in the following:

7. Stock Awards 
STOCK AWARDS 

During the second quarter of 2022, we amended the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of 
common stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and awards
of interests in our Operating Partnership. Our Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. 
Among other things, the recent amendment increased the number of shares of common stock registered and reserved for stock awards by 16 
million to 28.9 million. As of December 31, 2022, 19.3 million shares remain available for future stock awards. The Equity Incentive Plan contains 
a limit of 5 million shares as the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be awarded to an individual in any fiscal year. Awards
under the Equity Incentive Plan are subject to forfeiture due to termination of employment prior to vesting and/or from not achieving the
respective performance/market conditions. In the event of a change in control, outstanding and unvested options will immediately vest, unless 
otherwise provided in the participant’s award or employment agreement, and restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, and 
other stock-based awards will vest if so provided in the participant’s award agreement. The term of the awards is set by the Compensation 
Committee, though Incentive Stock Options may not have terms of more than ten years. Forfeited awards (along with shares withheld for payroll 
tax withholding purposes) are returned to the Equity Incentive Plan and are then available to be re-issued as future awards.

For the past three years, we have only granted restricted stock and restricted stock units pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plan. These stock-
based awards have been granted in the form of service-based awards and performance awards based on company-specific performance 
hurdles. See below for further details on each of these stock-based awards:

Service-Based Awards
In 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Compensation Committee granted service-based awards to employees and non-employee directors. Service-
based awards vest as the employee/director provides the required service (typically over three years). Dividends are generally paid on these
awards prior to vesting.

Performance-Based Awards
In 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Compensation Committee granted performance-based awards to employees. Generally, dividends are not paid 
on performance awards until the award is earned. See below for details of such performance-based award grants:

In 2022, 2021, and 2020, a target number of stock awards were granted to employees that could be earned based on the achievement of 
specific performance thresholds as set by our Compensation Committee. The performance thresholds were based on a three-year period 
with the opportunity to earn a portion of the award earlier. More or less shares than the target number of shares are available to be earned
based on our performance compared to the set thresholds. At the end of each of the performance periods, any earned shares during such
period will vest on January 1 of the following calendar year. The performance thresholds for 2022, 2021, and 2020 awards were based on 
funds from operations growth, EBITDA, and acquisitions. 

Certain performance awards granted were subject to a modifier which increases or decreases the actual shares earned in each performance 
period. The modifier for the 2022, 2021, and 2020 awards was based on two components: 1) how our total shareholder return (“TSR”) compared
to the SNL U.S. REIT Healthcare Index (“SNL Index”) and 2) how our TSR compared to a threshold set by the Compensation Committee. 

The following summarizes stock-based award activity in 2022 and 2021 (which includes awards granted in 2022, 2021, 2020, and any 
applicable prior years), respectively:

The value of stock-based awards is charged to compensation expense over the service periods. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 
2021, and 2020, we recorded $49.4 million, $52.1 million, and $47.2 million, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense. The remaining 
unrecognized cost from stock-based awards at December 31, 2022, is $47.1 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 
1.2 years. Stock-based awards that vested in 2022, 2021, and 2020, had a value of $82.6 million, $49.9 million, and $58.9 million, respectively.

8. Commitments and Contingencies 
COMMITMENTS 

On October 5, 2022, we entered into definitive agreements to sell three Prospect facilities located in Connecticut to Yale for approximately 
$457 million. This transaction is expected to close in 2023 subject to certain regulatory approvals and the completion of Yale’s acquisition of 
the hospital operations from Prospect. No assurances can be given that this transaction will be consummated as described or at all.

CONTINGENCIES 

We are a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, 
the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to those proceedings is not presently expected to materially affect our financial position, results of 
operations, or cash flows. 

9. Common Stock 
2022 ACTIVITY 

On October 9, 2022, the board of directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”) for up 
to $500 million of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. In 2022, we repurchased 1.6 million shares for a total of $17.9 million. The Stock 
Repurchase Program expires on October 10, 2023. 

2021 ACTIVITY 

On January 11, 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of 36.8 million shares of our common stock, resulting in net proceeds of 
approximately $711 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.

In addition, we sold 16.3 million shares of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program during 2021, resulting in net 
proceeds of approximately $340 million.

2020 ACTIVITY 

In 2020, we sold 21.0 million shares of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program, resulting in net proceeds of 
approximately $411 million.

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We have various assets and liabilities that are considered financial instruments. We estimate that the carrying value of cash and cash
equivalents and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values. We estimate the fair value of our interest and rent 
receivables using Level 2 inputs such as discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates at which similar receivables 
would be made to others with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The fair value of our mortgage loans and other 
loans are estimated by using Level 2 inputs such as discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates which similar loans
would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. We determine the fair value of our senior 
unsecured notes using Level 2 inputs such as quotes from securities dealers and market makers. We estimate the fair value of our revolving 
credit facility and term loans using Level 2 inputs based on the present value of future payments, discounted at a rate which we consider 
appropriate for such debt. 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, are subjective in nature, and involve uncertainties and matters of significant 
judgment. Settlement of such fair value amounts may not be a prudent management decision.

The following table summarizes fair value estimates for our financial instruments (in thousands):

related to our investment in the international joint venture, along with the related subsequent investment in the real estate of three hospitals in Colombia, 
as these assets are accounted for under the fair value option method, as noted below.

(2) Includes $223.8 million and $70.1 million of mortgage loans, a $315.9 million and $335.6 million shareholder loan included in investments in 
unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, $640.4 million and $521.4 million of loans that are part of our investments in unconsolidated operating entities, 
and $225.5 million and $64.5 million of other loans at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

ITEMS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE ON A RECURRING BASIS 

Our equity investment and related loan to the international joint venture, our loan investment in the real estate of three hospitals operated 
by subsidiaries of the international joint venture in Colombia, and our equity investment and related loans in Springstone are measured at 
fair value on a recurring basis as we elected to account for these investments using the fair value option at the point of initial investment.
We elected to account for these investments at fair value due to the size of the investments and because we believe this method was more 
reflective of current values. 

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the amounts recorded under the fair value option method were as follows (in thousands):

MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC.

Our loans to Springstone and the international joint venture and its subsidiaries are recorded at fair value based on Level 2 inputs by 
discounting the estimated cash flows using the market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings
and the same remaining maturities, while also considering the value of the underlying collateral of each loan. Our equity investment in 
Springstone and the international joint venture is recorded at fair value based on Level 3 inputs, by using a discounted cash flow model, 
which requires significant estimates of our investee such as projected revenue and expenses and appropriate consideration of the 
underlying risk profile of the forecasted assumptions associated with the investee. We classify our valuations of equity investments as
Level 3, as we use certain unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the fair value measurement, and the
valuations require management judgment due to absence of quoted market prices. For the cash flow models, our observable inputs include
use of a capitalization rate and discount rate (which is based on a weighted-average cost of capital) and our unobservable input includes 
an adjustment for a marketability discount (“DLOM”). In regards to the underlying projections used in the discounted cash flow model, such
projections are provided by the investees. However, we will modify such projections as needed based on our review and analysis of historical 
results, meetings with key members of management, and our understanding of trends and developments within the healthcare industry.

In 2022, we recorded an unfavorable fair value adjustment of approximately $7 million to our investments, as shown in “Other (including fair 
value adjustments on securities)” in our consolidated statements of net income. No fair value adjustment was recorded in 2021.

The DLOM on our Springstone investment was 40% at December 31, 2022. In arriving at the DLOM, we started with a DLOM range based on 
the results of studies supporting valuation discounts for other transactions or structures without a public market. To select the appropriate 
DLOM within the range, we then considered many qualitative factors, including the percent of control, the nature of the underlying investee’s
business along with our rights as an investor pursuant to the operating agreement, the size of investment, expected holding period, number 
of shareholders, access to capital marketplace, etc. To illustrate the effect of movements in the DLOM, we performed a sensitivity analysis
below by using basis point variations (dollars in thousands):

ITEMS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE ON A NONRECURRING BASIS 

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we have assets and liabilities that are measured, from time-to-time, at
fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as for long-lived asset impairment purposes. In these cases, fair value may be based on estimated cash 
flows discounted at a risk-adjusted rate of interest by using Level 2 inputs as more fully described in Note 2, or for our real estate, including for 
the impairment analysis on our Prospect Pennsylvania real estate in 2022, we may use a market approach using level 2 inputs, whereby we will 
divide the expected net operating income (i.e. rent revenue less expenses, if any) of the facility by a market capitalization rate.

11. Leases (Lessee) 
We lease the land underlying certain of our facilities (for which we sublease to our tenants), along with corporate offices and equipment.
Our leases have remaining lease terms that vary in years, and some of the leases have initial fixed terms (or renewal options available) that 
extend the leases up to, or just beyond, the depreciable life of the properties that occupy the leased land. Renewal options that we are
reasonably certain to exercise are recognized in our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit 
rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present 
value of future payments.

Other corporate assets include land and land improvements associated with our corporate offices, furniture and fixtures, equipment, 
corporate vehicles, aircraft, enterprise and other software, deposits, and right-of-use assets associated with corporate leases. Included in 
prepaids and other assets is prepaid insurance, prepaid taxes, deferred income tax assets (net of valuation allowances, if any), non-tenant 
receivables, derivative assets, and lease inducements made to tenants, among other items. 

Prepaids and other assets are higher in 2022 due to an approximate $80 million increase in derivative assets (associated with our interest rate 
swaps) and recovery receivables associated with flood damage of our Norwood facility, among other things.

13. Subsequent Events 
On February 7, 2023, a subsidiary of Lifepoint acquired a majority interest in Springstone (the “Lifepoint Transaction”) based on an 
enterprise value of $250 million. We received approximately $205 million in full satisfaction of our initial acquisition loan to Springstone,
including accrued interest. We also retained our minority equity interest in the operations of Springstone and will continue to own and lease
Springstone’s behavioral hospitals. As part of the Lifepoint Transaction, Lifepoint agreed to extend its current lease with us on eight existing
general acute care hospitals by five years to 2041. 

On February 15, 2023, we agreed to lease five general acute care facilities located in Utah currently leased to Steward to Catholic Health 
Initiatives Colorado (“CHIC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CommonSpirit Health, subsequent to CHIC’s pending acquisition of the Utah
hospital business currently operated by Steward. Centura Health will manage the facilities for CHIC. The consummation of this transaction,
which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected in 2023. The initial 15 year lease with CHIC for these Utah assets (approximately 5.5% of 
our total assets at December 31, 2022) will generate an initial cash yield of 7.8%, bump annually by 3%, and include repurchase options at 
the greater of fair value or our gross investment.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. 
Medical Properties Trust, Inc. maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange 
Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and 
communicated to its management, including its Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal
financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls
and procedures, we recognize that no controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance 
of achieving the desired control objectives. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the management of Medical Properties 
Trust, Inc., with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of 
our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these 
disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. 
The management of Medical Properties Trust, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial 
reporting for Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial 
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of 
Medical Properties Trust, Inc.’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, 
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

Management has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting for Medical Properties 
Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2022 based upon the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of 
December 31, 2022, the internal control over financial reporting for Medical Properties Trust, Inc. was effective. 

The effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting for Medical Properties Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2022 has been audited by 
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in this Annual Report. 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. 
There has been no change in the internal control over financial reporting for Medical Properties Trust, Inc. during its most recent fiscal 
quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
