Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2017
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business Overview
Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the "Company") is a self-managed, self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") that integrates owning, leasing, managing, financing, developing and redeveloping income-producing real estate properties associated primarily with the delivery of outpatient healthcare services throughout the United States. As of September 30, 2017 , the Company had gross investments of approximately $3.6 billion in 197 real estate properties located in 26 states totaling approximately 14.4 million square feet. The Company provided leasing and property management services to approximately 11.2 million square feet nationwide.

Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, management believes there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In addition, the interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2017 for many reasons including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dispositions, capital financing transactions, changes in interest rates and the effects of other trends, risks and uncertainties.

Use of Estimates in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents includes short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Restricted cash includes cash held in escrow in connection with proceeds from the sales of certain real estate properties. These sales proceeds were disbursed as the Company acquired real estate investments in like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets to the combined amounts shown on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 and No. 2015-14
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance, including sales of real estate. This standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. However, leasing contracts, representing the major source of the Company's revenues, are not within the scope of the new standard and will continue to be accounted for under other standards.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Deferral of the Effective Date." This standard is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year.

The Company plans to adopt this standard by using the full retrospective adoption method beginning on January 1, 2018. The Company's revenue-producing contracts are primarily leases that are not within the scope of this standard. As a result, the Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the timing and measurement of the Company's leasing revenues. The Company has identified that parking income, rental lease guaranty income and management fee income will be within the scope of Topic 606. The Company is continuing to assess the impact of this standard and does expect additional disclosures that are required from the adoption of this standard.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." For lessees, the new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company expects that all of the leases where the Company is the lessee will be recorded on the Company's balance sheet. For lessors, the new standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as financing. If the lessor doesn't convey risks and rewards or control, then the lease would be classified as an operating lease.

The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessors for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the impact from the adoption of this new standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This update is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other such commitments. This update requires that financial statement assets measured at an amortized cost and certain other financial instruments be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the impact from the adoption of this new standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This update clarifies whether the following items should be classified as operating, investing or financing in the statement of cash flows: (i) debt prepayments and extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt, (iii) settlement of contingent consideration, (iv) insurance proceeds, (v) settlement of corporate-owned life insurance and bank-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interest in securitization transactions and (viii) receipts and payments with aspects of more than one class of cash flows.

This standard is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted on a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017. There was not a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes resulting from the adoption of this standard.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business." This update modifies the requirements to meet the definition of a business under Topic 805, "Business Combinations." The amendments provide a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The Company believes that this amendment will result in most of its real estate acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations. This standard is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017 and has accounted for acquisitions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as asset acquisitions. The impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes as a result of the adoption of this standard is primarily related to the difference in the accounting of acquisition costs. When accounting for these costs as a part of an asset acquisition, the Company will be permitted to capitalize the costs. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." This update eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As such, an entity will perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. This standard is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes from the adoption of this standard.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-05
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets." This update defines an in-substance nonfinancial asset, unifies guidance related to partial sales of nonfinancial assets, eliminates rules specifically addressing the sales of real estate, removes exception to the financial asset derecognition model and clarifies the accounting for contributions of nonfinancial assets to joint ventures. This standard is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes from the adoption of this standard.


8

Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-09
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting." This update provides guidance about which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based awards require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This standard is effective for the Company for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes from the adoption of this standard.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The transition guidance allows for early adoption of the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method in any interim period after issuance of the update, or alternatively requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The modified retrospective transition method will require the Company to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the update. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, the Company currently does not expect adoption to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Changes in Debt Structure
On May 1, 2017, the Company repaid in full a mortgage note payable bearing interest at a rate of 6.50% per annum with outstanding principal of $0.2 million . The mortgage note encumbered a 60,476 square foot medical office building located in Minnesota.
On June 13, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of a 62,379 square foot medical office property in Washington D.C., the Company assumed a $12.1 million mortgage note payable (excluding a fair value premium adjustment of $0.4 million ). The mortgage note payable has a contractual interest rate of 4.69% per annum (effective rate of 4.27% per annum).

On September 28, 2017, the Company repaid in full a mortgage note payable bearing interest at a rate of 5.55% per annum with an outstanding principal of $1.3 million . The mortgage note encumbered a 75,000 square foot property in Tennessee.

Subsequent Activity
On October 2, 2017, the Company repaid in full a mortgage note payable bearing interest at a rate of 5.53 % per annum with an outstanding principal of $0.2 million . The mortgage note encumbered a 73,331 square foot property in Ohio.

On November 1, 2017, the Company redeemed $100.0 million of its unsecured senior notes due 2021 at a redemption price equal to an aggregate of $113.4 million , consisting of outstanding principal of $100.0 million , accrued interest of $1.7 million , and a "make-whole" amount of approximately $11.7 million for the early extinguishment of debt. The unaccreted discount and unamortized costs on these notes of $0.5 million was written off upon redemption. The Company will recognize a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $12.2 million related to this redemption in the fourth quarter of 2017.


Note 4. Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
In addition to operational risks which arise in the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to economic risks such as interest rate, liquidity and credit risk. In certain situations, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure arising from variable rate debt transactions that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company's objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its variable rate debt.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without changing the underlying notional amount.

As of September 30, 2017 , the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as, and that qualify as, cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (“OCI”) and is reclassified into earnings as interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The effective portion of the Company’s prior interest rate swaps that was recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively, was as follows:

The Company estimates that an additional $0.2 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense over the next 12 months.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that, if resolved against the Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company redeveloped a medical office building in Nashville, Tennessee, which included a 70,000 square foot expansion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company funded approximately $12.2 million on the redevelopment of this property, including approximately $3.2 million related to overages on tenant improvement projects that have been or will be reimbursed by the tenant. The Company expects to spend an additional $0.4 million throughout the remainder of 2017.

In the third quarter of 2017, the Company began the redevelopment of a medical office building in Charlotte, North Carolina, which includes a 38,000 square foot vertical expansion.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practical to estimate that value.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash - The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments.

Borrowings under the unsecured credit facility due 2020 and unsecured term loan facility due 2019 - The carrying amount approximates fair value because the borrowings are based on variable market interest rates.

Senior Notes and Mortgage Notes payable - The fair value of notes and bonds payable is estimated using cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current interest rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

The table below details the fair values and carrying values for notes and bonds payable at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report and other materials the Company has filed or may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made, or to be made, by management of the Company, contain, or will contain, disclosures that are “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “target,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “continue,” “should,” “could," "budget" and other comparable terms. These forward-looking statements are based on the current plans and expectations of management and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, that could significantly affect the Company’s current plans and expectations and future financial condition and results.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Stockholders and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented in the Company’s filings and reports, including, without limitation, estimates and projections regarding the performance of development projects the Company is pursuing.

For a detailed discussion of the Company’s risk factors, please refer to the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
The Company’s primary sources of cash include rent receipts from its real estate portfolio based on contractual arrangements with its tenants and sponsors, borrowings under the Company's unsecured credit facility due 2020, proceeds from the sales of real estate properties and proceeds from public or private debt or equity offerings.

The Company expects to continue to meet its liquidity needs, including funding additional investments, paying dividends, and funding debt service through cash on hand and restricted cash, cash flows from operations, and the cash flow sources described above. The Company had unencumbered real estate assets with a gross book value of approximately $3.3 billion at September 30, 2017 , of which a portion could serve as collateral for secured mortgage financing. The Company believes that its liquidity and sources of capital are adequate to satisfy its cash requirements. The Company cannot, however, be certain that these sources of funds will be available at a time and upon terms acceptable to the Company in sufficient amounts to meet its liquidity needs.

Investing Activities
Cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $17.6 million . Below is a summary of the significant investing activities.

Subsequent Acquisitions
The Company is under contract to purchase eight medical office buildings in the Atlanta, Georgia market from Meadows & Ohly, LLC and its affiliates for a total purchase price of $193.8 million . On November 1, 2017 , the Company acquired four of these properties totaling 288,880 square feet for a total purchase price of $112.1 million . The Company expects to close on the remaining four properties in December 2017.

On November 1, 2017 , the Company acquired a 26,345 square foot medical office building in Seattle, Washington for a purchase price of $12.7 million .

Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $30.7 million . Inflows from equity related to the Company's common stock issuances, dividend reinvestment program and employee stock purchase plan totaled $ 248.4 million , net of issuance costs incurred. Aggregate cash outflows totaled approximately $217.7 million primarily associated with dividends paid to common stockholders and debt repayments. See Notes 3 and 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about capital markets and financing activities.

Equity Offering
On August 14, 2017, the Company issued 8,337,500 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at $30.90 per share in an underwritten public offering pursuant to the Company's existing effective registration statement. The net proceeds of the offering, after underwriting and offering expenses, were approximately $247.1 million . The proceeds will be invested into acquisitions and the repayment of indebtedness.
Changes in Debt Structure
On May 1, 2017, the Company repaid in full a mortgage note payable bearing interest at a rate of 6.50% per annum with outstanding principal of $0.2 million . The mortgage note encumbered a 60,476 square foot medical office building located in Minnesota.

18


On June 13, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of a 62,379 square foot medical office property in Washington, D.C., the Company assumed a $12.1 million mortgage note payable (excluding a fair value premium adjustment of $0.4 million ). The mortgage note payable has a contractual interest rate of 4.69% per annum (effective rate of 4.27% per annum).

On September 28, 2017, the Company repaid in full a mortgage note payable bearing interest at a rate of 5.55% per annum with an outstanding principal of $1.3 million . The mortgage note encumbered a 75,000 square foot property in Tennessee.

Subsequent Activity
On October 2, 2017, the Company repaid in full a mortgage note payable bearing interest at a rate of 5.53 % per annum with an outstanding principal of $0.2 million . The mortgage note encumbered a 73,331 square foot property in Ohio.

On November 1, 2017, the Company redeemed $100.0 million of its unsecured senior notes due 2021 at a redemption price equal to an aggregate of $113.4 million , consisting of outstanding principal of $100.0 million , accrued interest of $1.7 million , and a "make-whole" amount of approximately $11.7 million for the early extinguishment of debt. The unaccreted discount and unamortized costs on these notes of $0.5 million was written off upon redemption. The Company will recognize a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $12.2 million related to this redemption in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities increased from $102.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $129.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . Items impacting cash flows from operations include, but are not limited to, cash generated from property operations, interest payments and the timing related to the payment of invoices and other expenses and receipts of tenant rent.
The Company may, from time to time, sell additional properties and redeploy cash from property sales and mortgage repayments into new investments. To the extent revenues related to the properties being sold and the mortgages being repaid exceed income from these new investments, the Company's results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements accompanying this report for information on new accounting standards.

Trends and Matters Impacting Operating Results
Management monitors factors and trends important to the Company and the REIT industry to gauge the potential impact on the operations of the Company. In addition to the matters discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , below are some of the factors and trends that management believes may impact future operations of the Company.

Expiring Leases
The Company expects that approximately 15% to 20% of the leases in its multi-tenanted portfolio will expire each year in the ordinary course of business. There are 200 leases totaling 0.6 million square feet in the Company's multi-tenant portfolio that will expire during the remainder of 2017 . Approximately 94% of the leases expiring in 2017 are located in buildings on or adjacent to hospital campuses, are distributed throughout the portfolio, and are not concentrated with any one tenant, health system or market area. The Company typically expects to retain 75% to 90% of multi-tenant property tenants upon expiration, and the retention ratio for the first nine months of the year has been within this range.

Five single-tenant net leases were to expire on December 31, 2017. The Company received notice that the tenant is exercising its option to purchase the buildings. The expected closing date is April 2018. The purchase option price is greater than the Company's net investment in the properties. See "Purchase Options" below.
Property Operating Agreement Expirations
Two of the Company’s owned real estate properties as of December 31, 2016 were subject to property operating agreements between the Company and a sponsoring health system. These agreements contractually obligate the sponsoring health system to provide to the Company a minimum return on the Company’s investment in the property in exchange for the right to be involved in the operating decisions of the property, including tenancy. If the minimum return is not achieved through normal

19

operations of the property, the Company calculates and accrues to property lease guaranty revenue any shortfalls due from the sponsoring health systems under the terms of the property operating agreement. One agreement expired in January 2017, resulting in a decrease of $0.2 million per quarter in property lease guaranty revenue. The remaining agreement will expire in February 2019. The Company recognized $0.2 million of property lease guaranty revenue in the third quarter of 2017.

Operating Expenses
The Company has historically experienced increases in property taxes throughout its portfolio as a result of increasing assessments and tax rates levied across the country. The Company continues its efforts to appeal property tax increases and manage the impact of the increases. In addition, the Company has historically incurred variability in portfolio utilities expense based on seasonality, with the first and third quarters usually reflecting greater amounts. The effects of these operating expense increases are mitigated in leases that have provisions for operating expense reimbursement. As of September 30, 2017 , leases for 85% of the Company's multi-tenant leased square footage allow for some recovery of operating expenses, with 54% allowing recovery of all expenses.
Purchase Options

(3)
In October 2017, the Company received notice that a tenant is exercising a purchase option on these seven properties, comprised of five single-tenant net leased buildings and two multi-tenant buildings, are covered by one purchase option with a stated purchase price of approximately $45.2 million, subject to certain contractual adjustments. The Company's aggregate net book value for these properties was $24.0 million at September 30, 2017 . The Company recognized net operating income of approximately $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from these properties. The closing is expected to occur in April 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
Management believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, management considers certain non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators to be useful supplemental measures of the Company's operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure. Set forth below are descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators management considers relevant to the Company's business and useful to investors, as well as reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

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

20

historical operating results, these measures should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this report.

Funds from Operations ("FFO"), Normalized FFO and Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD")
FFO and FFO per share are operating performance measures adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as the most commonly accepted and reported measure of a REIT’s operating performance equal to “net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization related to real estate properties, leasing commission amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.” The Company follows the NAREIT definition in calculating and presenting FFO and FFO per share.

Management believes FFO and FFO per share to be supplemental measures of a REIT’s performance because they provide an understanding of the operating performance of the Company’s properties without giving effect to certain significant non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization expense. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. The Company believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO and FFO per share can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods. The Company reports FFO and FFO per share because these measures are observed by management to also be the predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to evaluate REITs and because FFO per share is consistently reported, discussed, and compared by research analysts in their notes and publications about REITs. For these reasons, management has deemed it appropriate to disclose and discuss FFO and FFO per share. However, FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to common stockholders as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.
In addition to FFO and FFO per share, the Company presents Normalized FFO, Normalized FFO per share, and funds available for distribution ("FAD"). Normalized FFO is presented by adding to FFO acquisition-related costs, acceleration of deferred financing costs, debt extinguishment costs and other Company-defined normalizing items to evaluate operating performance. FAD is presented by adding to Normalized FFO non-real estate depreciation and amortization, deferred financing fees amortization, share-based compensation expense and provision for bad debts, net; and subtracting maintenance capital expenditures, including second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions paid and straight-line rent income, net of expense. The Company's definition of these terms may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing these amounts. Normalized FFO and FAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of the Company's liquidity. Normalized FFO and FAD should be reviewed in connection with GAAP financial measures.

Acquisition and pursuit costs include third party and travel costs related to the pursuit of acquisitions and developments. Beginning in 2017, FFO and FAD are normalized for all acquisition and pursuit costs. Prior to 2017, FFO and FAD were normalized for acquisition and pursuit costs associated with only those acquisitions that closed in the period. These changes were prompted by the Company's adoption of ASU 2017-01 which was effective January 1, 2017.
(2)
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes the dilutive effect of nonvested share-based awards outstanding of 899,733 and 831,647, respectively.


Net Operating Income
Net operating income ("NOI") and same store NOI are non-GAAP historical financial measures of performance. Management considers same store NOI a supplemental performance measure because it allows investors, analysts and Company management to measure unlevered property-level operating results. The Company defines NOI as operating revenues (property operating revenue, single-tenant net lease revenue, and property lease guaranty revenue) less property operating expenses related specifically to the property portfolio. NOI excludes straight-line rent, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property sales, property management fees, amortization of non-cash items, lease termination fees and other revenues and expenses not specifically related to the property portfolio. Same store NOI is historical and not necessarily indicative of future results.

Properties included in the same store analysis are stabilized properties that have been included in operations and were consistently reported as leased and stabilized properties for the duration of the year-over-year comparison period presented. Accordingly, properties that were recently acquired or disposed of, properties classified as held for sale, and properties in stabilization or conversion from stabilization are excluded from the same store analysis. In addition, the Company excludes properties that meet any of the following Company-defined criteria to be included in the reposition property group:

•
Properties having less than 60% occupancy that is expected to last at least two quarters;
•
Properties that experience a loss of occupancy over 30% in a single quarter;
•
Properties with negative net operating income that is expected to last at least two quarters; or
•
Condemnation.

Any recently acquired property will be included in the same store pool once the Company has owned the property for eight full quarters. Development properties will be included in the same store pool eight full quarters after substantial completion. Any property included in the reposition property group will be included in the same store analysis once occupancy has increased to 60% or greater with positive net operating income and has remained at that level for eight full quarters.

The following tables reconcile net income to same store NOI and the same store property count to the total owned real estate portfolio:
