Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The use of the words “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III, Inc., or GAHR III, and its subsidiaries, including Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III Holdings, LP, for periods prior to the Merger, as defined below, and American Healthcare REIT, Inc. (formerly known as Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc., or GAHR IV) and its subsidiaries, including American Healthcare REIT Holdings, LP (formerly known as Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III Holdings, LP), for periods following the Merger, except where otherwise noted. Certain historical information of GAHR IV is included for background purposes.

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to promote understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The following discussion is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such consolidated financial statements and information have been prepared to reflect our financial position as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, together with our results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. This section discusses the results of operations and cash flows for fiscal year 2022 compared to fiscal year 2021. We have omitted the discussion related to the results of operations and changes in financial condition for fiscal year 2021 compared to fiscal year 2020 from this Annual Report on Form 10-K, but such discussion may be found in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our fiscal year 2021 Annual Report Form 10-K, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 25, 2022.

In connection with the Merger as discussed and defined below, GAHR IV was the legal acquiror of GAHR III, whereas GAHR III was the accounting acquiror of GAHR IV in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and as discussed in Note 1, Organization and Description of Business, and Note 4, Business Combinations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Thus, the financial information set forth herein subsequent to the Merger reflects results of the Combined Company (as defined below), and the financial information set forth herein prior to the Merger reflects GAHR III’s results. For this reason, period to period comparisons may not be meaningful.

Overview and Background

American Healthcare REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is a leading internally-managed REIT that owns a diversified portfolio of clinical healthcare real estate properties, focusing primarily on medical office buildings, or MOBs, senior housing, SNFs, hospitals and other healthcare-related facilities. We have built a fully-integrated management platform, with approximately 113 employees, that operates clinical healthcare properties throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Isle of Man. We also operate healthcare-related facilities utilizing the structure permitted by the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007, which is commonly referred to as a “RIDEA” structure (the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, authorizing the RIDEA structure were enacted as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008). Our healthcare facilities operated under a RIDEA structure include our senior housing operating properties, or SHOP, and our integrated senior health campuses. We have originated and acquired secured loans and may also originate and acquire other real estate-related investments on an infrequent and opportunistic basis. We generally seek investments that produce current income; however, we have selectively developed, and may continue to selectively develop, healthcare real estate properties. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that we have been organized and operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code.

Merger of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III, Inc. and Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc.

On October 1, 2021, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 23, 2021, or the Merger Agreement, GAHR III merged with and into Continental Merger Sub, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of GAHR IV, or Merger Sub, with Merger Sub being the surviving company, or the REIT Merger. On October 1, 2021, also pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and subsidiary and operating partnership of GAHR IV, or GAHR IV Operating Partnership, merged with and into Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, or our operating partnership, with our operating partnership being the surviving entity, or the Partnership Merger. We collectively refer to the REIT Merger and the Partnership Merger as the Merger. Following the Merger on October 1, 2021, our company, or the Combined Company, was renamed American Healthcare REIT, Inc. and our operating partnership, also referred to as the surviving partnership, was renamed American Healthcare REIT Holdings, LP. The REIT Merger was intended to qualify as a reorganization under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Code. As a result of and at the effective time of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of GAHR III and GAHR IV Operating Partnership ceased.

At the effective time of the REIT Merger and prior to the reverse stock split, each issued and outstanding share of GAHR III’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, converted into the right to receive 0.9266 shares of GAHR IV’s Class I common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Further, at the effective time of the Partnership Merger and prior to the reverse stock split, (i) each unit of limited partnership interest in the surviving partnership outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Partnership Merger was converted automatically into the right to receive 0.9266 of a Partnership Class I Unit, as defined in the agreement of limited partnership, as amended, of the surviving partnership, and (ii) each unit of limited partnership interest in GAHR IV Operating Partnership immediately prior to the effective time of the Partnership Merger was converted automatically into the right to receive one unit of limited partnership interest of the surviving partnership of like class.

AHI Acquisition

Also on October 1, 2021, immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, GAHR III acquired a newly formed entity, American Healthcare Opps Holdings, LLC, or NewCo, which we refer to as the AHI Acquisition, pursuant to a contribution and exchange agreement dated June 23, 2021, or the Contribution Agreement, between GAHR III; our operating partnership; American Healthcare Investors, LLC, or AHI; Griffin Capital Company, LLC, or Griffin Capital; Platform Healthcare Investor T-II, LLC; Flaherty Trust; and Jeffrey T. Hanson, the non-executive Chairman of our board of directors, or our board, Danny Prosky, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Mathieu B. Streiff, one of our directors, or collectively, the AHI Principals. NewCo owned substantially all of the business and operations of AHI, as well as all of the equity interests in (i) Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV Advisor, LLC, or GAHR IV Advisor, a subsidiary of AHI that served as the external advisor of GAHR IV, and (ii) Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III Advisor, LLC, or GAHR III Advisor, also referred to as our former advisor, a subsidiary of AHI that served as the external advisor of GAHR III.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, AHI contributed substantially all of its business and operations to the surviving partnership, including its interest in GAHR III Advisor and GAHR IV Advisor, and Griffin Capital contributed its then-current ownership interest in GAHR III Advisor and GAHR IV Advisor to the surviving partnership. In exchange for these contributions, the surviving partnership issued limited partnership units, OP units. Subject to working capital and other customary adjustments, the total approximate value of these OP units at the time of consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, and prior to the reverse stock split, was approximately $131,674,000, with a reference value for purposes thereof of $8.71 per OP unit, such that the surviving partnership issued 15,117,529 OP units as consideration, or the Closing Date Consideration. Following the consummation of the Merger and the AHI Acquisition, the Combined Company became self-managed. See “Operating Partnership and Former Advisor” below for a further discussion. Such OP units were owned by AHI Group Holdings, LLC, or AHI Group Holdings, which is owned and controlled by the AHI Principals, Platform Healthcare Investor TII, LLC, Flaherty Trust and a wholly owned subsidiary of Griffin Capital, or collectively, the NewCo Sellers.

The AHI Acquisition was treated as a business combination for accounting purposes, with GAHR III as both the legal and accounting acquiror of NewCo. While GAHR IV was the legal acquiror of GAHR III in the REIT Merger, GAHR III was determined to be the accounting acquiror in the REIT Merger in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations, after considering the relative share ownership and the composition of the governing body of the Combined Company. Thus, the financial information set forth herein subsequent to the consummation of the Merger and the AHI Acquisition reflects results of the Combined Company, and the financial information set forth herein prior to the Merger and the AHI Acquisition reflects GAHR III’s results. For this reason, period to period comparisons may not be meaningful.

See Note 4, Business Combinations — 2021 Business Combinations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion of the Merger and the AHI Acquisition.

Operating Partnership and Former Advisor

We conduct substantially all of our operations through our operating partnership and we are the sole general partner of our operating partnership. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we owned an approximately 95.0% and 94.9% general partnership interest therein, respectively, and the remaining 5.0% and 5.1%, respectively, was owned by the NewCo Sellers.

Through September 30, 2021, we were externally advised by our former advisor pursuant to an advisory agreement, as amended, or the Advisory Agreement, between us and our former advisor. Our former advisor, subject to the oversight and review of our board provided asset management, property management, acquisition, disposition and other advisory services on our behalf consistent with our investment policies and objectives. Following the Merger and the AHI Acquisition, we became self-managed and are no longer externally advised. As a result, any fees that would have otherwise been payable to our former advisor are no longer being paid to a third party. Upon consummation of the AHI Acquisition, we redeemed all 51 limited partnership units that our former advisor held in our operating partnership, as well as all 52 limited partnership units held by GAHR IV Advisor in GAHR IV Operating Partnership. Also, on October 1, 2021 and in connection with the AHI Acquisition, our operating partnership redeemed all 5,148 shares of our common stock owned by our former advisor and all 5,208 shares of our Class T common stock owned by GAHR IV Advisor in GAHR IV.

Prior to the Merger and the AHI Acquisition, our former advisor was 75.0% owned and managed by wholly owned subsidiaries of AHI, and 25.0% owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of Griffin Capital, or collectively, our former co-sponsors. Prior to the AHI Acquisition, AHI was 47.1% owned by AHI Group Holdings, 45.1% indirectly owned by DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG), or DigitalBridge, and 7.8% owned by James F. Flaherty III. We were not affiliated with Griffin Capital, DigitalBridge or Mr. Flaherty; however, we were affiliated with our former advisor, AHI and AHI Group Holdings.

See the “Merger of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III, Inc. and Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc.” and “AHI Acquisition” sections above for a further discussion. See Note 13, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, and Note 14, Equity — Noncontrolling Interests in Total Equity, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion of the ownership in our operating partnership.

Public Offerings

GAHR IV raised $754,118,000 through a best efforts initial public offering, or the initial offering, and issued 18,909,921 aggregate shares of its Class T common stock and Class I common stock. In addition, during the initial offering, GAHR IV issued 813,384 aggregate shares of its Class T common stock and Class I common stock pursuant to GAHR IV’s distribution reinvestment plan, as amended, or the DRIP, for a total of $31,021,000 in reinvested distributions. Following the deregistration of the initial offering, GAHR IV continued issuing shares of its common stock up to $100,000,000 pursuant to the DRIP through a subsequent offering, or the 2019 GAHR IV DRIP Offering, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 under

Table of Contents

the Securities Act. GAHR IV commenced offering shares pursuant to the 2019 GAHR IV DRIP Offering on March 1, 2019, following the termination of the initial offering on February 15, 2019. On March 18, 2021, the GAHR IV board of directors authorized the suspension of the DRIP, effective as of April 1, 2021.

On October 4, 2021, our board authorized the reinstatement of the DRIP, as amended, or the AHR DRIP, to offer up to $100,000,000 of shares of our common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act previously filed by GAHR IV, or the AHR DRIP Offering. On November 14, 2022, our board suspended the AHR DRIP Offering beginning with distributions declared, if any, for the quarter ending December 31, 2022. As a result of the suspension of the AHR DRIP Offering, unless and until our board reinstates the AHR DRIP Offering, stockholders who are current participants in the AHR DRIP will be paid future distributions in cash. As of December 31, 2022, a total of $91,448,000 in distributions were reinvested that resulted in 2,431,695 shares of common stock being issued pursuant to the AHR DRIP.

On September 16, 2022, we filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-267464) with respect to a proposed public offering by us of our shares of common stock in conjunction with a contemplated listing of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE. Such registration statement and contemplated listing are not yet effective.

On November 10, 2022, our board approved charter amendments to effect, on November 15, 2022 a one-for-four reverse stock split of our common stock and a corresponding reverse split of the OP units, or the Reverse Splits. All numbers of common shares and per share data, as well as the OP units in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the Reverse Splits. See Note 14, Equity, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion of our public offerings.

On March 15, 2023, our board, at the recommendation of the audit committee of our board, which is comprised solely of independent directors, unanimously approved and established an updated estimated per share net asset value, or NAV, of our common stock of $31.40. We provide this updated estimated per share NAV annually to assist broker-dealers in connection with their obligations under Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, Rule 2231 with respect to customer account statements. The updated estimated per share NAV is based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis, calculated as of December 31, 2022. The valuation was performed in accordance with the methodology provided in Practice Guideline 2013-01, Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs, issued by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives, or the IPA, in April 2013, in addition to guidance from the SEC. See our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2023 for more information on the methodologies and assumptions used to determine, and the limitations and risks of, our updated estimated per share NAV.

Our Real Estate Investments Portfolio

We currently operate through six reportable business segments: integrated senior health campuses, MOBs, SNFs, SHOP, senior housing — leased and hospitals. As of December 31, 2022, we owned and/or operated 314 buildings and integrated senior health campuses including completed development and expansion projects, or approximately 19,897,000 square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, for an aggregate contract purchase price of $4,624,249,000. In addition, as of December 31, 2022, we also owned a real estate-related debt investment purchased for $60,429,000.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our critical accounting policies are those that will have the most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results of operations and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. We believe that our judgments and estimates are consistently applied and produce financial information that fairly present our financial condition and results of operations. Our most critical accounting policies that involve judgments and estimates include (1) real estate investments purchase price allocation, (2) impairment of long-lived assets, (3) goodwill, (4) revenue recognition and grant income, (5) resident receivable allowances and (6) income taxes.

These critical accounting policies involve estimates that may require complex judgment in their application and are evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, if our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, we may have applied a different accounting treatment, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. A discussion of our significant accounting policies is included within Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during 2022. Below is a summary of the key judgments and estimates used in our critical accounting policies.

61

Table of Contents

Real Estate Investments Purchase Price Allocation

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties or entities owning real estate properties, we determine whether the transaction is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are not a business, we account for the transaction as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, we recognize the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed; however, for a transaction accounted for as an asset acquisition, we capitalize transaction costs and allocate the purchase price using a relative fair value method allocating all accumulated costs, whereas, for a transaction accounted for as a business combination, we immediately expense transaction costs incurred associated with the business combination and allocate the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of each separately identifiable asset and liability.

In accounting for asset acquisitions and business combinations, we, with assistance from independent valuation specialists, measure the fair value of tangible and intangible identified assets and liabilities, as applicable, based on their respective fair values for acquired properties, which is then allocated to acquired investments in real estate. The fair value measurement and its allocation require significant judgment and in some cases involve complex calculations. These allocation assessments directly impact our financial statements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We also periodically perform analysis that requires us to judge whether indicators of impairment exist and to estimate likely future cash flows. Projections of expected future operating cash flows require that we estimate future revenue amounts, future property operating expenses and the number of years the property is held for investment, among other factors. The subjectivity of assumptions used in the future cash flow analysis, including discount rates, where applicable, could result in an incorrect assessment of the real estate fair value and could result in the misstatement of the carrying value of our real estate assets and net income (loss).

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of consideration paid over the fair value of underlying identifiable net assets of a business acquired. This allocation is based upon our determination of the value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, which requires judgment and some of the estimates involve complex calculations. These allocation assessments have a direct impact on our financial statements. Our goodwill has an indeterminate life and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Such evaluation could involve estimated future cash flows, which is highly subjective, and is based in part on assumptions regarding future events. We compare the fair value of a reporting segment with its carrying amount. We recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied value in the current period. We take a qualitative approach, as applicable, to consider whether an impairment of goodwill exists prior to quantitatively determining the fair value of the reporting segment in step one of the impairment test.

Revenue Recognition and Grant Income

A significant portion of resident fees and services revenue represents healthcare service revenue that is reported at the amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for providing patient care. These amounts are due from patients, third-party payors (including health insurers and government programs), other healthcare facilities, and others and include variable consideration for retroactive revenue adjustments due to settlement of audits, reviews, and investigations. Such variable consideration is included in the determination of the estimated transaction price for providing care. These settlements include estimates based on the terms of the payment agreement with the payor, correspondence from the payor and our historical settlement activity, including an assessment to ensure that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the retroactive adjustment is subsequently resolved. Estimated settlements are adjusted in future periods as adjustments become known (that is, new information becomes available), or as years are settled or are no longer subject to such audits, reviews and investigations.

We recognize amounts granted through federal and state government programs (such as through the CARES Act) that were established for eligible healthcare providers to preserve liquidity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as grant income or as a reduction of property operating expenses, as applicable, when there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and all conditions to retain the funds will be met. We adjust our estimates and assumptions of such grants based on the applicable guidance provided by the government and the best available information that we have.

Resident Receivable Allowances

An allowance is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of residents and payors to meet the contractual obligations under their lease or service agreements. Substantially all of such allowances are recorded as direct

62

Table of Contents

reductions of resident fees and services revenue as contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors or implicit price concessions in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Our determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, the residents’ financial condition, security deposits, cash collection patterns by payor and by state, current economic conditions, future expectations in estimating credit losses and other relevant factors.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 1, 2016. We believe that we have been organized and operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. Our qualification as a REIT, and maintenance of such qualification, will depend on our ability to meet, on a continuing basis, various complex requirements under the Code relating to, among other things, the sources of our gross income, the composition and values of our assets, our distribution levels and the concentration of ownership of our stock. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on REIT taxable income that we currently distribute to our stockholders.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any calendar year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our income would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate rate, and we would likely be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT until the fifth calendar year following the year in which we fail to qualify. Accordingly, our failure to qualify as a REIT could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and amounts available for distribution to our stockholders. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may still be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and assets and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. In addition, subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT, a portion of our business may be conducted through, and a portion of our income may be earned in, one or more TRSs that are themselves subject to regular corporate income taxation.

Acquisitions and Dispositions in 2022, 2021 and 2020

For a discussion of our acquisitions and dispositions of investments in 2022, 2021 and 2020, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Properties Held for Sale, Note 3, Real Estate Investments, Net, and Note 4, Business Combinations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Factors Which May Influence Results of Operations

In connection with the Merger, GAHR IV was the legal acquiror and GAHR III was the accounting acquiror for financial reporting purposes, as discussed in Note 1, Organization and Description of Business, and Note 4, Business Combinations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Thus, the financial information set forth herein subsequent to the Merger reflects results of the Combined Company, and the financial information set forth herein prior to the Merger reflects GAHR III’s results. Furthermore, as a result of the AHI Acquisition and the Merger on October 1, 2021, we employed a workforce necessary to operate as a self-managed company. The impact on our results of operations from operating as a self-managed company is predominantly an increase in general and administrative costs related to employing the necessary workforce and cost savings associated with no longer paying advisory fees to our former advisor. For these reasons, period to period comparisons may not be meaningful.

Other than the effects of the Merger and the AHI Acquisition discussed above, and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation discussed below, as well as other national economic conditions affecting real estate generally, or as otherwise disclosed in our risk factors, we are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the acquisition, disposition, management and operation of our properties. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results or performance, see Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

COVID-19

Our residents, tenants, operating partners and managers, our industry and the U.S. economy may continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related supply chain disruptions and labor shortages. While the COVID 19 pandemic is subsiding, the timing and extent of the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is dependent upon many factors, including the emergence and severity of COVID-19 variants, the effectiveness and frequency of booster vaccinations and the duration and implications of restrictions and safety measures. As the lasting effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is still

63

Table of Contents

impacting the healthcare system to a certain extent, it continues to present challenges for us as an owner and operator of healthcare facilities, making it difficult to ascertain the long-term impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on real estate markets in which we own and/or operate properties and our portfolio of investments. COVID-19 is particularly dangerous among the senior population and results in heightened risk to our senior housing and SNFs, and we continue to work diligently to maintain aggressive protocols at such facilities as well as actively collaborate with our tenants, operating partners and managers to respond and take action to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have evaluated the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business thus far and incorporated information concerning such impacts into our assessments of liquidity, impairment and collectability from tenants and residents as of December 31, 2022. We will continue to monitor such impacts and will adjust our estimates and assumptions based on the best available information.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant decline in resident occupancies at our leased senior housing facilities and SNFs, SHOP and integrated senior health campuses and an increase in COVID-19 related operating expenses with more costly short-term hires due to the shortage of healthcare personnel. Therefore, our focus at such properties continues to be on resident occupancy recovery and operating expense management. Resident occupancies at our senior housing and SNFs have gradually improved to near pre-pandemic levels. We believe the operational recovery of such classes from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will generally continue and that such recovery over time towards pre-pandemic levels will drive our overall portfolio performance.

As a result of the federal government's COVID-19 public health emergency declaration in January 2020, certain federal and state pandemic-related relief measures, such as funding, procedural waivers and/or reimbursement increases, became available to some of our tenants and operators. On January 30, 2023, the Biden Administration announced that the COVID-19 public health emergency declaration will expire on May 11, 2023, creating uncertainty as to how widespread these measures will continue to be and to what extent they may be distributed to and benefit our tenants and operators.

The lasting effect of the COVID-19 pandemic over the next 12 months will largely depend on future developments, which cannot be predicted with confidence at this time. See the “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections below, as well as Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion.

Inflation

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, inflation has affected our operations. The annual rate of inflation in the United States was 6.0% in February 2023, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. We believe inflation has impacted our operations such that, we have experienced, and continue to experience, increases in the cost of labor, services, energy and supplies, and therefore continued inflationary pressures on our integrated senior health campuses and SHOP could continue to impact our profitability in future periods. For properties that are not operated under a RIDEA structure, there are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that help us mitigate the impact of inflation. These provisions include negotiated rental increases, which historically range from 2% to 3% per year, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges and real estate tax and insurance reimbursements. However, due to the long-term nature of existing leases, among other factors, the leases may not reset frequently enough to cover inflation. A period of inflation could also cause an increase in the cost of our variable-rate debt due to rising interest rates. See Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Interest Rate Risk, for a further discussion.

Scheduled Lease Expirations

Excluding our SHOP and integrated senior health campuses, as of December 31, 2022, our properties were 92.2% leased and during 2023, 7.7% of the leased GLA is scheduled to expire. Our leasing strategy focuses on negotiating renewals for leases scheduled to expire during the next twelve months. In the future, if we are unable to negotiate renewals, we will try to identify new tenants or collaborate with existing tenants who are seeking additional space to occupy. As of December 31, 2022, our remaining weighted average lease term was 7.2 years, excluding our SHOP and integrated senior health campuses.

Our combined SHOP and integrated senior health campuses were 82.5% leased as of December 31, 2022. Substantially all of our leases with residents at such properties are for a term of one year or less.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

Our operating results are primarily comprised of income derived from our portfolio of properties and expenses in connection with the acquisition and operation of such properties. Our primary sources of revenue include rent generated by our leased, non-RIDEA properties, and resident fees and services revenue from our RIDEA properties. Our primary expenses include property operating expenses and rental expenses. In addition, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, following the AHI Acquisition that resulted in our company being self managed, general and administrative expenses include payroll and other corporate operating expenses but no longer include advisory fees to our former advisor. In general, and under a normal operating environment without the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and challenging economic conditions resulting from inflation, we expect amounts related to our portfolio of leased, non-RIDEA properties to increase in the future due to fixed annual rent escalations and amounts related to our portfolio of RIDEA properties to increase in the future due to an overall increase in occupancies and market rents as well as an increase in the pricing of care services provided. The ability to compare one period to another is also impacted by the closing of the AHI Acquisition and the increase in size of our real estate portfolio as a result of the Merger. See Note 1, Organization and Description of Business and Note 4, Business Combinations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion.

We segregate our operations into reporting segments in order to assess the performance of our business in the same way that management reviews our performance and makes operating decisions. As of both December 31, 2022 and 2021, we operated through six reportable business segments: integrated senior health campuses, MOBs, SNFs, SHOP, senior housing — leased and hospitals.

Except where otherwise noted, the changes in our consolidated results of operations for 2022 as compared to 2021 are primarily due to the acquisition of GAHR IV’s portfolio of 92 buildings, or approximately 4,799,000 square feet of GLA, as a result of the Merger on October 1, 2021, the disruption to our normal operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and grant income received, as well as the adverse effect of inflation. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we owned and/or operated the following types of properties:

December 31,

___________

(1)The leased percentage for the resident units of our integrated senior health campuses was 84.5% and 77.0% as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(2)The leased percentage for the resident units of our SHOP was 77.0% and 72.5% as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(3)Leased percentage includes all third-party leased space at our non-RIDEA properties (including master leases), and excludes our SHOP and integrated senior health campuses where leased percentage represents resident occupancy on the available units/beds therein.

Revenues and Grant Income

Our primary sources of revenue include rent generated by our leased, non-RIDEA properties, and resident fees and services revenue from our RIDEA properties. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, resident fees and services revenue primarily consisted of rental fees related to resident leases, extended health care fees and other ancillary services, and real estate revenue primarily consisted of base rent and expense recoveries. The amount of revenues generated by our properties depends principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease available space at the then existing rental rates. We also receive grant income. Revenues and grant income by reportable segment consisted of the following for the periods then ended:

Years Ended December 31,

Resident Fees and Services Revenue

Real Estate Revenue

Grant Income

Resident Fees and Services Revenue

For the year ended December 31, 2022, $43,582,000 in resident fees and services revenue for our SHOP segment was due to the increase in the size of our portfolio as a result of the Merger. The remaining increase in resident fees and services revenue for our SHOP segment for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily attributable to: (i) increased resident occupancy; (ii) higher move-in fees; (iii) an increase of $5,661,000 due to transitioning the leased senior housing facilities within Delta Valley ALF portfolio to a RIDEA structure and including such facilities within SHOP on December 1, 2021; and (iv) an increase of $1,995,000 due to the acquisition of a portfolio of seven senior housing facilities in Texas that are now included within our SHOP segment.

For our integrated senior health campuses segment, we experienced an increase in resident fees and services revenue of $69,992,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022 due to our acquisition of the 50.0% controlling interest in a privately held company, RHS Partners, LLC, or RHS. We previously held a 50.0% equity interest in RHS, which owns and/or operates 16 integrated senior health campuses located in Indiana. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we also experienced an increase in resident fees and services revenue of $11,480,000 due to our acquisition of an integrated senior health campus in Kentucky on January 3, 2022. See Note 4, Business Combinations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion of such acquisitions. The remaining increase in resident fees and services revenue for our integrated senior health campuses segment was primarily attributable to increased resident occupancy.

Real Estate Revenue

For the year ended December 31, 2022, $67,234,000 of real estate revenue was primarily due to the increase in the size of our portfolio as a result of the Merger. Such amounts were partially offset by a decrease in rental revenue for our senior housing — leased segment of $2,200,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to transitioning the leased senior housing facilities within Delta Valley ALF portfolio to a RIDEA structure and including such facilities within SHOP on December 1, 2021. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2022, we experienced a decrease in rental revenue for our MOBs segment of $782,000, primarily due to a one-time lease termination fee recognized in June 2021 for one of our MOBs.

Table of Contents

Grant Income

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $25,675,000 and $16,951,000, respectively, of grant income at our integrated senior health campuses and SHOP primarily related to government grants received through the CARES Act economic stimulus programs.

Property Operating Expenses and Rental Expenses

Property operating expenses and property operating expenses as a percentage of resident fees and services revenue and grant income, as well as rental expenses and rental expenses as a percentage of real estate revenues, by reportable segment consisted of the following for the periods then ended:

Years Ended December 31,

Property Operating Expenses

Rental Expenses

Integrated senior health campuses and SHOP typically have a higher percentage of direct operating expenses to revenue than MOBs, hospitals, and leased senior housing and SNFs due to the nature of RIDEA-type facilities where we conduct day-to-day operations. For the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, rental expenses increased by $19,760,000 and property operating expenses increased by $46,897,000 for our SHOP due to the increase in the size of our portfolio as a result of the Merger. The remaining increase in total property operating expenses for our SHOP segment was due to: (i) higher operating expenses as a result of increased occupancy; (ii) an increase in labor costs, such as a significant increase in employee wages, agency fees and temporary labor expenses; (iii) an increase of $4,743,000 due to transitioning the leased senior housing facilities within Delta Valley ALF portfolio to a RIDEA structure and including such facilities within SHOP on December 1, 2021; and (iv) an increase of $1,961,000 due to the acquisition of a portfolio of seven senior housing facilities in Texas within our SHOP segment on December 5, 2022. The increase in total property operating expenses for our integrated senior health campuses segment was predominately due to higher operating expenses as a result of increased occupancy, as well as $77,097,000 due to our acquisition of the 50.0% controlling interest in RHS on August 1, 2022 and our acquisition of an integrated senior health campus on January 3, 2022. See Note 4, Business Combinations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion of such acquisitions.

General and Administrative

For the year ended December 31, 2022, general and administrative expenses were $43,418,000 compared to $43,199,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in general and administrative expenses of $219,000 was primarily the result of an increase of $17,638,000 in payroll and compensation costs for the personnel hired as a result of the AHI Acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in our asset management and property management oversight fees of $17,141,000 as a result of the AHI Acquisition.

Business Acquisition Expenses

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded business acquisition expenses of $4,388,000 and $13,022,000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the decrease in such expenses primarily related to a decrease of $12,599,000 in third-party legal costs and professional services incurred related to the Merger and the AHI Acquisition, partially offset by an increase of $3,158,000 in transaction costs related to our business combinations and an increase of $807,000 in dead-deal costs incurred in the pursuit of real estate investments that did not close. See Note 4, Business Combinations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion of our acquisitions accounted for as business combinations.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, depreciation and amortization was $167,957,000 and $133,191,000, respectively, which primarily consisted of depreciation on our operating properties of $141,257,000 and $109,036,000, respectively, and amortization of our identified intangible assets of $23,934,000 and $21,111,000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the increase in depreciation and amortization of $34,766,000 was primarily the result of the increase in depreciable assets in our portfolio as a result of the Merger resulting in depreciation and amortization expense of $27,280,000 as well as an increase in depreciable assets in our portfolio as a result of acquisitions at our integrated senior health campuses segment of $9,368,000. Such amounts were partially offset by a decrease of $1,979,000 in depreciable assets in our portfolio as a result of a real estate disposition within our MOB segment during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, including gain or loss in fair value of derivative financial instruments, consisted of the following for the periods then ended:

Years Ended December 31,

Interest expense:

Amortization of deferred financing costs:

Gain in fair value of derivative financial instruments (500,000) (8,200,000)

Interest on finance lease liabilities 261,000 —

The increase in total interest expense was primarily related to an increase in interest expense incurred on our lines of credit and term loans and mortgage loans payable due to: (i) a larger debt portfolio as a result of the Merger; (ii) an increase in variable interest rates; (iii) a decrease in the gain in fair value recognized on our derivative financial instruments of $7,700,000; and (iv) an increase in loss on debt extinguishment of $2,511,000. Such increase in total interest expense was partially offset by a decrease in amortization of deferred financing costs on our lines of credit and term loans of $1,261,000. See Note 8, Mortgage Loans Payable, Net, and Note 9, Lines of Credit and Term Loans, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion on debt extinguishments.

Gain or loss on dispositions of real estate investments

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized an aggregate gain on dispositions of our real estate investments of $5,481,000 primarily related to the sale of one MOB, three senior housing facilities within our Central Florida Senior Housing Portfolio and two integrated senior health campuses. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized an aggregate net loss on dispositions of our real estate investments of $100,000 related to the sale of one MOB, one SNF and two integrated senior health campuses. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 3, Real Estate Investments, Net, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Impairments

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized aggregate impairment charges on our real estate investments of $54,579,000 related to our SHOP within the Central Florida Senior Housing Portfolio, Pinnacle Warrenton ALF and Mountain Crest Senior Housing Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized an impairment charge of $3,335,000 on a MOB, Mount Dora Medical Center. See Note 3, Real Estate Investments, Net, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion of such real estate investments.

As a result of our annual assessment of goodwill, we determined that goodwill pertaining to our SHOP reporting segment was fully impaired as of December 31, 2022 and recognized an impairment loss of $23,277,000 in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See Note 19, Segment Reporting, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion of such goodwill impairment.

Gain on Re-measurement of Previously Held Equity Interest

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized a $19,567,000 gain on re-measurement of the fair value of our previously held equity interest in RHS. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we did not recognize a gain on re-measurement of previously held equity interest. See Note 4, Business Combinations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the normal course of business, our material cash requirements consist of payment of operating expenses, capital improvement expenditures, interest on our indebtedness, distributions to our stockholders (including distributions necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT) and general and administrative expenses. Our sources of funds primarily consist of operating cash flows and borrowings. We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements that we expect would materially affect our liquidity and capital resources.

Material Cash Requirements

Capital Improvement Expenditures

A capital plan for each investment is established upon acquisition that contemplates the estimated capital needs of that investment, including costs of refurbishment, tenant improvements or other major capital expenditures. The capital plan also sets forth the anticipated sources of the necessary capital, which may include operating cash generated by the investment, capital reserves, a line of credit or other loan established with respect to the investment, other borrowings or additional equity investments from us and joint venture partners. The capital plan for each investment is adjusted through ongoing, regular reviews of our portfolio or as necessary to respond to unanticipated additional capital needs. As of December 31, 2022, we had $17,776,000 of restricted cash in loan impounds and reserve accounts to fund a portion of such capital expenditures. Based on the budget for the properties we own as of December 31, 2022, we estimated discretionary expenditures for capital and tenant improvements of $68,821,000 for 2023, although actual expenditures are dependent on many factors which are not presently known.

Contractual Obligations

The following table provides information with respect to: (i) the maturity and scheduled principal repayment of our secured mortgage loans payable and our lines of credit and term loans; (ii) interest payments on our mortgage loans payable and our lines of credit and term loans; (iii) ground and other lease obligations; and (iv) financing obligations as of December 31, 2022:

Credit Facilities

On January 19, 2022, we terminated our credit agreement, as amended, for our line of credit and term loans with an aggregate maximum principal amount of $530,000,000, or the 2018 Credit Facility, and, through our operating partnership, entered into an agreement that superseded and replaced our amended credit facility with a maximum principal amount of $480,000,000, or the 2019 Credit Facility, with a credit facility with an aggregate maximum principal amount of up to $1,050,000,000, or the 2022 Credit Facility. In addition, we are subject to an amended and restated loan agreement regarding a senior secured revolving credit facility with an aggregate maximum principal amount of $360,000,000, or the 2019 Trilogy Credit Facility, which was further amended on December 20, 2022 to increase the aggregate maximum principal amount to $400,000,000. See Note 9, Lines of Credit and Term Loans, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion. Our total capacity to pay operating expenses, capital improvement expenditures, interest, distributions and general and administrative expenses is a function of our current cash position, our borrowing capacity on our lines of credit and term loans, as well as any future indebtedness that we may incur.

As of December 31, 2022, our aggregate borrowing capacity under the 2022 Credit Facility and the 2019 Trilogy Credit Facility, as amended, was $1,450,000,000. As of December 31, 2022, our aggregate borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities was $1,282,634,000 and we had an aggregate of $167,366,000 available on such facilities. We believe that the resources described above will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the next 12 months and the longer term thereafter.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth changes in cash flows:

Years Ended December 31,

The following summary discussion of our changes in our cash flows is based on our accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.

Operating Activities

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period of $129,855,000 was due to the increase in the size of our portfolio as a result of the Merger on October 1, 2021, thereby increasing our net operating income. Additionally, our net operating income increased substantially for our integrated senior health campuses segment, which experienced improved margins primarily due to improved resident occupancy and expense management. In general, cash flows from operating activities are affected by the timing of cash receipts and payments. See the “Results of Operations” section above for a further discussion.

Investing Activities

The decrease in net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period of $20,074,000 was primarily due to a $43,798,000 increase in proceeds from dispositions of real estate, a $17,852,000 decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash acquired in connection with the Merger on October 1, 2021 and a $8,175,000 decrease in developments and capital expenditures. Such amounts were partially offset by a $13,714,000 payment to acquire the 50.0% controlling interest in RHS in August 2022. See Note 4, Business Combinations, to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of our acquisition of RHS.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period of $137,033,000 was primarily due to a decrease in net borrowings under our mortgage loans payable of $269,296,000, a $28,334,000 increase in distributions paid to our common stockholders and a $20,317,000 payment to repurchase our common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we also paid $2,075,000 in offering costs in connection with the filing of our Registration Statement on Form S-11 for a proposed public offering by us of our shares of common stock in conjunction with a contemplated listing of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, as discussed in the “Overview and Background — Public Offerings” section above. No such costs were paid during the year ended December 31, 2021. Such amounts were partially offset by an increase in net borrowings under our lines of credit and term loans of $161,900,000 and borrowings under a financing obligation of $25,900,000. The change in distributions paid to common stockholders was due to the suspension of all stockholder distributions on May 29, 2020 in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which the board of directors of GAHR III subsequently reinstated in June 2021. The change in share repurchases was due to the suspension of the GAHR III share repurchase plan from May 31, 2020 through October 4, 2021, when the partial reinstatement of our share repurchase plan was approved by our board.

Distributions

The income tax treatment for distributions reportable for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2022, any distributions of amounts in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits have resulted in a return of capital to our stockholders, and some portion of a distribution to our stockholders may have been paid from borrowings. For a further discussion of FFO, including a reconciliation of our GAAP net loss to FFO, see “Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations” below.

For information on future distributions of the Combined Company, see Item 5, Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Distributions.

Financing

We anticipate that our overall leverage will not exceed 50.0% of the combined fair market value of all of our properties, and other real estate-related investments, as determined at the end of each calendar year. For these purposes, the market value of each asset will be equal to the contract purchase price paid for the asset or, if the asset was appraised subsequent to the date of purchase, then the market value will be equal to the value reported in the most recent independent appraisal of the asset. Our policies do not limit the amount we may borrow with respect to any individual investment. As of December 31, 2022, our aggregate borrowings were 48.5% of the combined market value of all of our real estate and real estate-related investments.

Mortgage Loans Payable, Net

For a discussion of our mortgage loans payable, see Note 8, Mortgage Loans Payable, Net, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Lines of Credit and Term Loans

For a discussion of our lines of credit and term loans, see Note 9, Lines of Credit and Term Loans, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REIT Requirements

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we are required to distribute to our stockholders a minimum of 90.0% of our REIT taxable income. Existing Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, guidance includes a safe harbor pursuant to which publicly offered REITs can satisfy the distribution requirement by distributing a combination of cash and stock to stockholders. In general, to qualify under the safe harbor, each stockholder must elect to receive either cash or stock, and the aggregate cash component of the distribution to stockholders must represent at least 20.0% of the total distribution. In the event that there is a shortfall in net cash available due to factors including, without limitation, the timing of such distributions or the timing of the collection of receivables, we may seek to obtain capital to make distributions by means of secured and unsecured debt financing through one or more unaffiliated third parties. We may also make distributions with cash from capital transactions including, without limitation, the sale of one or more of our properties.

Commitments and Contingencies

For a discussion of our commitments and contingencies, see Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Debt Service Requirements

A significant liquidity need is the payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. As of December 31, 2022, we had $1,254,479,000 of fixed-rate and variable-rate mortgage loans payable outstanding secured by our properties. As of December 31, 2022, we had $1,282,634,000 outstanding and $167,366,000 remained available under our lines of credit. The weighted average effective interest rate on our outstanding debt was 5.82% per annum. See Note 8, Mortgage Loans Payable, Net, and Note 9, Lines of Credit and Term Loans, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion.

We are required by the terms of certain loan documents to meet various financial and non-financial covenants, such as leverage ratios, net worth ratios, debt service coverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all such covenants and requirements on our mortgage loans payable and our lines of credit and term loans. See Note 22, Subsequent Events — 2022 Credit Agreement Amendment, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion. While the extent and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business has been subsiding, any potential future deterioration of operations in excess of management's projections as a result of COVID-19 could impact future compliance with these covenants. If any future covenants are violated, we anticipate seeking a waiver or amending the debt covenants with the lenders when and if such event should occur. However, there can be no assurances that management will be able to effectively achieve such plans.

Related Party Transactions

For a discussion of related party transactions, see Note 15, Related Party Transactions, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations, a non-GAAP financial measure, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of funds from operations is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure, and our management uses FFO to evaluate our performance over time. FFO is not equivalent to our net income (loss) as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on funds from operations approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, or the White Paper. The White Paper defines funds from operations as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of certain real estate assets, gains or losses upon consolidation of a previously held equity interest, and impairment writedowns of certain real estate assets and investments, plus depreciation and amortization related to real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, investors are cautioned that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate-related depreciation and amortization and impairments, provides a further understanding of our performance to investors and to our management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income (loss).

The Institute for Portfolio Alternatives, or the IPA, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as modified funds from operations, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental performance measure and which we believe to be another appropriate supplemental performance measure to reflect operating performance. Modified funds from operations is not equivalent to our net income (loss) as determined under GAAP, and modified funds from operations may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because modified funds from operations excludes expensed acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired and that we consider more reflective of investing activities, as well as other non-operating items included in FFO, modified funds from operations can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring our properties and once our portfolio is in place. Investors are cautioned that modified funds from operations should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after properties have been acquired, as it excludes expensed acquisition fees and expenses that have a negative effect on our initial operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

The IPA issued the Practice Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the Practice Guideline, which defines modified funds from operations as funds from operations further adjusted for the following items included in the determination of GAAP net income (loss): expensed acquisition fees and costs; amounts relating to deferred rent and amortization of above- and below-market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to closer to an expected to be received cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income (loss); gains or losses included in net income (loss) from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan; and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect modified funds from operations on the same basis. In order to arrive at our reported modified funds from operations attributable to controlling interest, or MFFO, we further adjust the IPA’s definition of modified funds from operations for the impairment of goodwill.

Table of Contents

However, FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income (loss) or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate funds from operations and modified funds from operations the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations, which is an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other measurements as an indication of our performance. MFFO may be useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete.

None of the SEC, NAREIT, or any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized government grants as grant income or as a reduction of property operating expenses, as applicable, and within loss from unconsolidated entities. Such amounts were granted through federal and state government programs, such as through the CARES Act, and which were established for eligible healthcare providers to preserve liquidity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. See the “Results of Operations” section above for a further discussion. The government grants helped mitigate some of the negative impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on our financial condition and results of operations. Without such relief funds, the COVID-19 pandemic would have had a material adverse impact to our FFO and MFFO. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, FFO would have been approximately $74,994,000 and $54,516,000, respectively, excluding government grants recognized. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, MFFO would have been approximately $108,812,000 and $62,480,000, respectively, excluding government grants recognized.

The following is a reconciliation of net income or loss, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to FFO and MFFO for the periods presented below:

Years Ended December 31,

Gain on re-measurement of previously held equity interest(1) (19,567,000) —

Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests (7,919,000) 5,475,000

Gain in fair value of derivative financial instruments(7) (500,000) (8,200,000)

___________

(1)We recognized a gain upon the acquisition of the 50.0% controlling interest in RHS. Such acquisition resulted in the consolidation of RHS, which was previously accounted for as an equity method investment. We believe that adjusting for such non-recurring gains provides useful supplemental information because such gains may not be reflective of on-going business transactions and operations and is consistent with management’s analysis of our operating performance.

(2)In evaluating investments in real estate, we differentiate the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. By excluding business acquisition expenses that have been deducted as expenses in the determination of GAAP net income or loss, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Business acquisition expenses include payments to our former advisor or its affiliates and third parties.

(3)Under GAAP, above- and below-market leases are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, we believe that by excluding charges relating to the amortization of above- and below-market leases, MFFO may provide useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.

(4)Under GAAP, closing costs are amortized over the term of our debt security investment as an adjustment to the yield on our debt security investment. This may result in income recognition that is different than the contractual cash flows under our debt security investment. By adjusting for the amortization of the closing costs, MFFO may provide useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of our debt security investment, providing insight on the

75

Table of Contents

expected contractual cash flows of such investment, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

(5)Under GAAP, as a lessor, rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease (including rent holidays). As a lessee, we record amortization of right-of-use assets and accretion of lease liabilities for our operating leases. This may result in income or expense recognition that is significantly different than the underlying contract terms. By adjusting such amounts, MFFO may provide useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms, providing insight on the expected contractual cash flows of such lease terms, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

(6)The loss associated with the early extinguishment of debt primarily relates to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, write-off of unamortized debt discount or premium, penalties, or other fees incurred. We believe that adjusting for such non-recurring losses provides useful supplemental information because such charges (or losses) may not be reflective of on-going business transactions and operations and is consistent with management’s analysis of our operating performance.

(7)Under GAAP, we are required to include changes in fair value of our derivative financial instruments in the determination of net income or loss. We believe that adjusting for the change in fair value of our derivative financial instruments to arrive at MFFO is appropriate because such adjustments may not be reflective of on-going operations and reflect unrealized impacts on value based only on then current market conditions, although they may be based upon general market conditions. The need to reflect the change in fair value of our derivative financial instruments is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly basis in accordance with GAAP.

(8)We believe that adjusting for the change in foreign currency exchange rates provides useful information because such adjustments may not be reflective of on-going operations.

(9)We recognized an impairment loss of our goodwill pertaining to our SHOP reporting segment as a result of our annual assessment of goodwill. We believe that adjusting for such non-recurring impairment loss provides useful supplemental information because such losses may not be reflective of on-going business transactions and operations and is consistent with management’s analysis of our operating performance.

(10)Includes all adjustments to eliminate the unconsolidated entities’ share or noncontrolling interests’ share, as applicable, of the adjustments described in notes (2) – (9) above to convert our FFO to MFFO.

Net Operating Income

Net operating income, or NOI, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, generated from properties before general and administrative expenses, business acquisition expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, gain or loss on dispositions, impairment of real estate investments, impairment of goodwill, income or loss from unconsolidated entities, gain on re-measurement of previously held equity interest, foreign currency gain or loss, other income and income tax benefit or expense.

NOI is not equivalent to our net income (loss) as determined under GAAP and may not be a useful measure in measuring operational income or cash flows. Furthermore, NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations, as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. NOI should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income (loss) or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. Investors are also cautioned that NOI should only be used to assess our operational performance in periods in which we have not incurred or accrued any business acquisition expenses.

We believe that NOI is an appropriate supplemental performance measure to reflect the performance of our operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with the operations of the properties. We believe that NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate community. However, our use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized government grants as grant income or as a reduction of property operating expenses, as applicable. The government grants helped mitigate some of the negative impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on our financial condition and results of operations. Without such relief funds, the COVID-19 pandemic would have had a material adverse impact to our NOI. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, NOI would have been approximately $276,290,000 and $196,385,000, respectively, excluding government grants recognized.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk. There were no material changes in our market risk exposures, or in the methods we use to manage market risk, between the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire and develop properties and other investments. Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate increases on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs while taking into account variable interest rate risk. To achieve our objectives, we may borrow or lend at fixed or variable rates.

We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and interest rate caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument, and for which we have not and may not elect hedge accounting treatment. We did not elect to apply hedge accounting treatment to these derivatives; therefore, changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative financial instruments were recorded as a component of interest expense in gain or loss in fair value of derivative financial instruments in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2022, we did not have any derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. See Note 22, Subsequent Events — Interest Rate Swap, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion.

The Financial Conduct Authority, or FCA, ceased publishing one-week and two-month LIBOR after December 31, 2021 and intends to cease publishing all remaining LIBOR after June 30, 2023. On January 19, 2022, we through our operating partnership, entered into the 2022 Credit Facility that bears interest at varying SOFR rates, at our option. On December 20, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the 2019 Trilogy Credit Facility, that among other things, replaced all references of LIBOR to SOFR. See Note 9, Lines of Credit and Term Loans — 2022 Credit Facility, and 2019 Trilogy Credit Facility, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion of the interest rate terms applicable to such facilities.

77

Table of Contents

We have variable-rate debt outstanding and maturing on various dates from 2023 to 2031 that are indexed to LIBOR. As such, we are monitoring and evaluating the related risks of the discontinuation of LIBOR, which include possible changes to the interest on loans or amounts received and paid on derivative instruments we may enter into in the future. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted when LIBOR is discontinued. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require negotiation with the respective counterparty. If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative rate when LIBOR is discontinued, the impact on our contracts is likely to vary. When LIBOR is discontinued, interest rates on our current or future indebtedness may be adversely affected. Currently we cannot estimate the overall impact of the phase-out of LIBOR on our current debt agreements, although it is possible that an alternative variable rate could raise our borrowing costs. It is not possible to predict whether LIBOR will continue to be viewed as an acceptable market “benchmark” prior to June 30, 2023, and it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if a sufficient number of banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

As of December 31, 2022, the table below presents the principal amounts and weighted average interest rates by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Expected Maturity Date

Assets

Liabilities

Debt Security Investment, Net

As of December 31, 2022, the net carrying value of our debt security investment was $83,000,000. As we expect to hold our debt security investment to maturity and the amounts due under such debt security investment would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our debt security investment, would have a significant impact on our operations. See Note 16, Fair Value Measurements, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a discussion of the fair value of our investment in a held-to-maturity debt security. The effective interest rate on our debt security investment was 4.24% per annum as of December 31, 2022.

Mortgage Loans Payable, Net and Lines of Credit and Term Loans

Mortgage loans payable were $1,254,479,000 ($1,229,847,000, net of discount/premium and deferred financing costs) as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, we had 68 fixed-rate mortgage loans payable and 11 variable-rate mortgage loans payable with effective interest rates ranging from 2.21% to 7.26% per annum and a weighted average effective interest rate of 5.29%. In addition, as of December 31, 2022, we had $1,282,634,000 ($1,281,794,000, net of deferred financing fees) outstanding under our lines of credit and term loans, at a weighted-average interest rate of 6.34% per annum.

As of December 31, 2022, the weighted average effective interest rate on our outstanding debt was 5.82% per annum. An increase in the variable interest rate on our variable-rate mortgage loans payable and lines of credit and term loans constitutes a market risk. As of December 31, 2022, a 0.50% increase in the market rates of interest would have increased our overall annualized interest expense on all of our other variable-rate mortgage loans payable and lines of credit and term loans by $8,371,000, or 7.76% of total annualized interest expense on our mortgage loans payable and lines of credit and term loans. See Note 8, Mortgage Loans Payable, Net, and Note 9, Lines of Credit and Term Loans, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion.

Other Market Risk

In addition to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, the value of our future investments is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of tenants, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating whether the benefits of the controls and procedures that we adopt outweigh their costs.

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of December 31, 2022 was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2022, were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision, and with the participation, of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on our evaluation under the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued in 2013, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.

(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of American Healthcare REIT, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Healthcare REIT, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements 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.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the 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.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets relating to real estate investments — Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets, primarily consisting of investments in real estate that are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company considers the following indicators, among others, in its evaluation of impairment:

•Significant negative industry or economic trends;

•A significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; and

•A significant change in the extent or manner in which the asset is used or significant physical change in the asset.

If indicators of impairment of long-lived assets are present, the Company evaluates the carrying value of the related real estate investment in relation to the future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying operations. In performing this evaluation, the Company considers market conditions and the Company’s current intentions with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. The Company adjusts the net book value of properties it leases to others and other long-lived assets to fair value if the sum of

82

Table of Contents

the expected future undiscounted cash flows, including sales proceeds, is less than carrying value. The Company recognizes an impairment loss at the time any such determination is made.

We identified the determination of impairment indicators for real estate investments as a critical audit matter because of the significant assumptions management makes when determining whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred indicating that the carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable. This required a high degree of auditor judgment when performing audit procedures to evaluate whether management appropriately identified impairment indicators.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of real estate investments for possible indications of impairment included the following, among others:

•Obtained independent market data to determine if there were indicators of impairment not identified by management.

•Determined whether there are adverse qualitative or quantitative asset-specific conditions, which may indicate that an other than temporary impairment exists.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020

The use of the words “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III, Inc., or GAHR III, and its subsidiaries, including Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III Holdings, LP, for periods prior to the Merger, as defined below, and American Healthcare REIT, Inc. (formerly known as Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc., or GAHR IV) and its subsidiaries, including American Healthcare REIT Holdings, LP (formerly known as Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III Holdings, LP), for periods following the Merger, except where otherwise noted. Certain historical information of GAHR IV is included for background purposes.

1. Organization and Description of Business

Overview and Background

American Healthcare REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is a self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns a diversified portfolio of clinical healthcare real estate properties, focusing primarily on medical office buildings, or MOBs, senior housing, skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs, hospitals and other healthcare-related facilities. We also operate healthcare-related facilities utilizing the structure permitted by the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007, which is commonly referred to as a “RIDEA” structure (the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, authorizing the RIDEA structure were enacted as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008). Our healthcare facilities operated under a RIDEA structure include our senior housing operating properties, or SHOP, and our integrated senior health campuses. We have originated and acquired secured loans and may also originate and acquire other real estate-related investments on an infrequent and opportunistic basis. We generally seek investments that produce current income; however, we have selectively developed, and may continue to selectively develop, healthcare real estate properties. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that we have been organized and operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code.

Merger of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III, Inc. and Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc.

On October 1, 2021, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 23, 2021, or the Merger Agreement, GAHR III merged with and into Continental Merger Sub, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of GAHR IV, or Merger Sub, with Merger Sub being the surviving company, or the REIT Merger. On October 1, 2021, also pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and subsidiary and operating partnership of GAHR IV, or GAHR IV Operating Partnership, merged with and into Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, or our operating partnership, with our operating partnership being the surviving entity, or the Partnership Merger. We collectively refer to the REIT Merger and the Partnership Merger as the Merger. Following the Merger on October 1, 2021, our company, or the Combined Company, was renamed American Healthcare REIT, Inc. and our operating partnership, also referred to as the surviving partnership, was renamed American Healthcare REIT Holdings, LP. The REIT Merger was intended to qualify as a reorganization under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Code. As a result of and at the effective time of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of GAHR III and GAHR IV Operating Partnership ceased.

AHI Acquisition

Also on October 1, 2021, immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, GAHR III acquired a newly formed entity, American Healthcare Opps Holdings, LLC, or NewCo, which we refer to as the AHI Acquisition, pursuant to a contribution and exchange agreement dated June 23, 2021, or the Contribution Agreement, between GAHR III; our operating partnership; American Healthcare Investors, LLC, or AHI; Griffin Capital Company, LLC, or Griffin Capital; Platform Healthcare Investor T-II, LLC; Flaherty Trust; and Jeffrey T. Hanson, the non-executive Chairman of our board of directors, or our board, Danny Prosky, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Mathieu B. Streiff, one of our directors, or collectively, the AHI Principals.NewCo owned substantially all of the business and operations of AHI, as well as all of the equity interests in (i) Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV Advisor, LLC, or GAHR IV Advisor, a subsidiary of AHI that served as the external advisor of GAHR IV, and (ii) Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III Advisor, LLC, or GAHR III Advisor, also referred to as our former advisor, a subsidiary of AHI that served as the external advisor of GAHR III.

AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REIT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, AHI contributed substantially all of its business and operations to the surviving partnership, including its interest in GAHR III Advisor and GAHR IV Advisor, and Griffin Capital contributed its then-current ownership interest in GAHR III Advisor and GAHR IV Advisor to the surviving partnership. In exchange for these contributions, the surviving partnership issued limited partnership units, or OP units. Subject to working capital and other customary adjustments, the total approximate value of these OP units at the time of consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, and prior to the reverse stock split, was approximately $131,674,000, with a reference value for purposes thereof of $8.71 per OP unit, such that the surviving partnership issued 15,117,529 OP units as consideration, or the Closing Date Consideration. Following the consummation of the Merger and the AHI Acquisition, the Combined Company became self-managed. See “Operating Partnership and Former Advisor” below for a further discussion. Such OP units were owned by AHI Group Holdings, LLC, or AHI Group Holdings, which is owned and controlled by the AHI Principals, Platform Healthcare Investor TII, LLC, Flaherty Trust and a wholly owned subsidiary of Griffin Capital, or collectively, the NewCo Sellers.

The AHI Acquisition was treated as a business combination for accounting purposes, with GAHR III as both the legal and accounting acquiror of NewCo. While GAHR IV was the legal acquiror of GAHR III in the REIT Merger, GAHR III was determined to be the accounting acquiror in the REIT Merger in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 805, Business Combinations, or ASC Topic 805 after considering the relative share ownership and the composition of the governing body of the Combined Company. Thus, the financial information set forth herein subsequent to the consummation of the Merger and the AHI Acquisition reflects results of the Combined Company, and the financial information set forth herein prior to the Merger and the AHI Acquisition reflects GAHR III’s results. For this reason, period to period comparisons may not be meaningful.

See Note 4, Business Combinations — 2021 Business Combinations, for a further discussion of the Merger and the AHI Acquisition.

Operating Partnership and Former Advisor

We conduct substantially all of our operations through our operating partnership and we are the sole general partner of our operating partnership. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we owned an approximately 95.0% and 94.9% general partnership interest therein, respectively, and the remaining 5.0% and 5.1%, respectively, was owned by the NewCo Sellers.

Through September 30, 2021, we were externally advised by our former advisor pursuant to an advisory agreement, as amended, or the Advisory Agreement, between us and our former advisor. Our former advisor, subject to the oversight and review of our board, provided asset management, property management, acquisition, disposition and other advisory services on our behalf consistent with our investment policies and objectives. Following the Merger and the AHI Acquisition, we became self-managed and are no longer externally advised. As a result, any fees that would have otherwise been payable to our former advisor are no longer being paid to a third party. Upon consummation of the AHI Acquisition, we redeemed all 51 limited partnership units that our former advisor held in our operating partnership, as well as all 52 limited partnership units held by GAHR IV Advisor in GAHR IV Operating Partnership. Also, on October 1, 2021 and in connection with the AHI Acquisition, our operating partnership redeemed all 5,148 shares of our common stock owned by our former advisor and all 5,208 shares of our Class T common stock owned by GAHR IV Advisor in GAHR IV.

Prior to the Merger and the AHI Acquisition, our former advisor was 75.0% owned and managed by wholly owned subsidiaries of AHI, and 25.0% owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of Griffin Capital, or collectively, our former co-sponsors. Prior to the AHI Acquisition, AHI was 47.1% owned by AHI Group Holdings, 45.1% indirectly owned by DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG), or DigitalBridge, and 7.8% owned by James F. Flaherty III. We were not affiliated with Griffin Capital, DigitalBridge or Mr. Flaherty; however, we were affiliated with our former advisor, AHI and AHI Group Holdings.

See the “Merger of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III, Inc. and Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc.” and “AHI Acquisition” sections above for a further discussion. See Note 13, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, and Note 14, Equity — Noncontrolling Interests in Total Equity, for a further discussion of the ownership in our operating partnership.

Public Offerings

Prior to the Merger, we raised $1,842,618,000 through a best efforts initial public offering that commenced on February 26, 2014, or the GAHR III initial offering, and issued 42,839,173 shares of our common stock. In addition, during the GAHR III initial offering, we issued 451,385 shares of our common stock pursuant to our initial distribution reinvestment plan, or the Initial DRIP, for a total of $18,511,000 in distributions reinvested. Following the deregistration of the GAHR III initial offering

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

on April 22, 2015, we continued issuing shares of our common stock pursuant to subsequent distribution reinvestment plan offerings.

On September 16, 2022, we filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-267464), with respect to a proposed public offering by us, or the Proposed Listing, of our shares of common stock in conjunction with a contemplated listing of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. Such registration statement and contemplated listing are not yet effective.

On November 10, 2022, our board approved charter amendments to effect on November 15, 2022 a one-for-four reverse stock split of our common stock and a corresponding reverse split of the partnership units in our operating partnership, or the Reverse Splits. All numbers of common shares and per share data, as well as the partnership units in our operating partnership, in our accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the Reverse Splits.

See Note 14, Equity — Common Stock, and Note 14, Equity — Distribution Reinvestment Plan, for a further discussion of our public offerings.

Our Real Estate Investments Portfolio

We currently operate through six reportable business segments: integrated senior health campuses, MOBs, SNFs, SHOP, senior housing — leased and hospitals. As of December 31, 2022, we owned and/or operated 314 buildings and integrated senior health campuses including completed development and expansion projects, or approximately 19,897,000 square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, for an aggregate contract purchase price of $4,624,249,000. In addition, as of December 31, 2022, we also owned a real estate-related debt investment purchased for $60,429,000.

COVID-19

Our residents, tenants, operating partners and managers, our industry and the U.S. economy continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related supply chain disruptions and labor shortages. While the COVID 19 pandemic is subsiding, the timing and extent of the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is dependent upon many factors, including the emergence and severity of COVID-19 variants, the effectiveness and frequency of booster vaccinations and the duration and implications of restrictions and safety measures. As the lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is still impacting the healthcare system to a certain extent, it continues to present challenges for us as an owner and operator of healthcare facilities, making it difficult to ascertain the long-term impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on real estate markets in which we own and/or operate properties and our portfolio of investments.

We have evaluated the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business thus far and incorporated information concerning such impacts into our assessments of liquidity, impairment and collectability from tenants and residents as of December 31, 2022. We will continue to monitor such impacts and will adjust our estimates and assumptions based on the best available information.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding our accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto are the representations of our management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

Our accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our operating partnership, the wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership and all non-wholly owned subsidiaries in which we have control, as well as any VIEs, in which we are the primary beneficiary. The portion of equity in any subsidiary that is not wholly owned by us is presented in our accompanying consolidated financial statements as a noncontrolling interest. We evaluate our ability to control an entity, and whether the entity is a VIE and we are the primary beneficiary, by considering substantive terms of the arrangement and identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance.

AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REIT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

We operate and intend to continue to operate in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which our operating partnership, or wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership and all non-wholly owned subsidiaries of which we have control, will own substantially all of the interests in properties acquired on our behalf. We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership and as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we owned an approximately 95.0% and 94.9% general partnership interest therein, respectively, and the remaining 5.0% and 5.1%, respectively, was owned by the NewCo Sellers. Prior to the Merger, we owned greater than a 99.99% general partnership interest in our operating partnership and our former advisor was a limited partner that owned less than a 0.01% noncontrolling limited partnership interest in our operating partnership.

The accounts of our operating partnership are consolidated in our accompanying consolidated financial statements because we are the sole general partner of our operating partnership and have unilateral control over its management and major operating decisions (even if additional limited partners are admitted to our operating partnership). All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of our consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the initial and recurring valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed through property acquisitions including through business combinations, goodwill and its impairment, revenues and grant income, allowance for credit losses, impairment of long-lived and intangible assets and contingencies. These estimates are made and evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates, perhaps in material adverse ways, and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Restricted cash primarily comprises lender required accounts for property taxes, tenant improvements, capital improvements and insurance, which are restricted as to use or withdrawal.

Leases

Lessee: We determine if a contract is a lease upon inception of the lease and maintain a distinction between finance and operating leases.Pursuant to ASC Topic 842, Leases, or ASC Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases with terms greater than 12 months at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The lease liability is calculated by using either the implicit rate of the lease or the incremental borrowing rate. The accretion of lease liabilities and amortization expense on right-of-use assets for our operating leases are included in rental expenses, property operating expenses or general and administrative expenses in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Operating lease liabilities are calculated using our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available as of the lease commencement date.

For our finance leases, the accretion of lease liabilities are included in interest expense and the amortization expense on right-of-use assets are included in depreciation and amortization in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Further, finance lease assets are included within real estate investments, net and finance lease liabilities are included within financing obligations in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Lessor: Pursuant to ASC Topic 842, lessors bifurcate lease revenues into lease components and non-lease components and separately recognize and disclose non-lease components that are executory in nature. Lease components continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and certain non-lease components may be accounted for under the revenue recognition guidance in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC Topic 606. See the “Revenue Recognition” section below. ASC Topic 842 also provides for a practical expedient package that permits lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. In addition, such practical expedient causes an entity to assess whether a contract is predominately lease or service based, and recognize the revenue from the entire contract under the relevant accounting guidance. We recognize revenue for our MOBs, senior housing, SNFs and hospitals segments as real estate revenue. Minimum annual rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of

95

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

the related lease (including rent holidays). Differences between real estate revenue recognized and cash amounts contractually due from tenants under the lease agreements are recorded to deferred rent receivable, which is included in other assets, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Tenant reimbursement revenue, which comprises additional amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses, are considered non-lease components and variable lease payments. We qualified for and elected the practical expedient as outlined above to combine the non-lease component with the lease component, which is the predominant component, and therefore the non-lease component is recognized as part of real estate revenue. In addition, as lessors, we exclude certain lessor costs (i.e., property taxes and insurance) paid directly by a lessee to third parties on our behalf from our measurement of variable lease revenue and associated expense (i.e., no gross up of revenue and expense for these costs); and include lessor costs that we paid and are reimbursed by the lessee in our measurement of variable lease revenue and associated expense (i.e., gross up revenue and expense for these costs).

At our RIDEA facilities, we offer residents room and board (lease component), standard meals and healthcare services (non-lease component) and certain ancillary services that are not contemplated in the lease with each resident (i.e., laundry, guest meals, etc.). For our RIDEA facilities, we recognize revenue under ASC Topic 606 as resident fees and services, based on our predominance assessment from electing the practical expedient outlined above. See the “Revenue Recognition” section below.

See Note 18, Leases, for a further discussion.

Revenue Recognition

Real Estate Revenue

We recognize real estate revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 842. See the “Leases” section above.

Resident Fees and Services Revenue

We recognize resident fees and services revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606. A significant portion of resident fees and services revenue represents healthcare service revenue that is reported at the amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for providing patient care. These amounts are due from patients, third-party payors (including health insurers and government programs), other healthcare facilities, and others and includes variable consideration for retroactive revenue adjustments due to settlement of audits, reviews, and investigations. Generally, we bill the patients, third-party payors and other healthcare facilities several days after the services are performed. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. Consistent with healthcare industry accounting practices, any changes to these governmental revenue estimates are recorded in the period the change or adjustment becomes known based on final settlement. Any differences between recorded revenues and subsequent adjustments are reflected in operations in the year finalized.

Performance obligations are determined based on the nature of the services provided by us. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied over time is recognized based on actual charges incurred in relation to total expected (or actual) charges. This method provides a depiction of the transfer of services over the term of the performance obligation based on the inputs needed to satisfy the obligation. Generally, performance obligations satisfied over time relate to patients receiving long-term healthcare services, including rehabilitation services. We measure the performance obligation from admission into the facility to the point when we are no longer required to provide services to that patient. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied at a point in time is recognized when goods or services are provided and we do not believe we are required to provide additional goods or services to the patient. Generally, performance obligations satisfied at a point in time relate to sales of our pharmaceuticals business or to sales of ancillary supplies.

Because all of our performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of less than one year, we have elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC Topic 606 and, therefore, are not required to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. The performance obligations for these contracts are generally completed within months of the end of the reporting period.

We determine the transaction price based on standard charges for goods and services provided, reduced, where applicable, by contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, implicit price concessions provided to uninsured patients, and estimates of goods to be returned. We also determine the estimates of contractual adjustments based on Medicare and Medicaid pricing tables and historical experience. We determine the estimate of implicit price concessions based on the historical collection experience with each class of payor.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Agreements with third-party payors typically provide for payments at amounts less than established charges. The following is a summary of the payment arrangements with major third-party payors:

•Medicare: Certain healthcare services are paid at prospectively determined rates based on cost-reimbursement methodologies subject to certain limits.

•Medicaid: Reimbursements for Medicaid services are generally paid at prospectively determined rates. In the state of Indiana, we participate in an Upper Payment Limit program, or IGT, with various county hospital partners, which provides supplemental Medicaid payments to SNFs that are licensed to non-state, government-owned entities such as county hospital districts. We have operational responsibility through management agreements for facilities retained by the county hospital districts including this IGT. The licenses and management agreements between the nursing center division and hospital districts are terminable by either party to restore the previous licensed status.

•Other: Payment agreements with certain commercial insurance carriers, health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations provide for payment using prospectively determined rates per discharge, discounts from established charges and prospectively determined periodic rates.

Laws and regulations concerning government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, are complex and subject to varying interpretation. As a result of investigations by governmental agencies, various healthcare organizations have received requests for information and notices regarding alleged noncompliance with those laws and regulations, which, in some instances, have resulted in organizations entering into significant settlement agreements. Compliance with such laws and regulations may also be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action, including fines, penalties and potential exclusion from the related programs. There can be no assurance that regulatory authorities will not challenge our compliance with these laws and regulations, and it is not possible to determine the impact such claims or penalties would have upon us, if any.

Settlements with third-party payors for retroactive adjustments due to audits, reviews or investigations are considered variable consideration and are included in the determination of the estimated transaction price for providing patient care. These settlements are estimated based on the terms of the payment agreement with the payor, correspondence from the payor and our historical settlement activity, including an assessment to ensure that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the retroactive adjustment is subsequently resolved. Estimated settlements are adjusted in future periods as adjustments become known (that is, new information becomes available), or as years are settled or are no longer subject to such audits, reviews and investigations. Adjustments arising from a change in the transaction price were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Disaggregation of Resident Fees and Services Revenue

We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers according to lines of business and payor classes. The transfer of goods and services may occur at a point in time or over time; in other words, revenue may be recognized over the course of the underlying contract, or may occur at a single point in time based upon a single transfer of control. This distinction is discussed in further detail below. We determine that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The beginning and ending balances of accounts receivable, net— resident fees and services are as follows:

Private and Other Payors Medicare Medicaid Total

Deferred Revenue — Resident Fees and Services Revenue

The beginning and ending balances of deferred revenue— resident fees and services, almost all of which relates to private and other payors, are as follows:

Total

In addition to the deferred revenue above, as of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $12,969,000 remaining in Medicare advance payments that were received during 2020 through an expanded program of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Such amounts were included in security deposits, prepaid rent and other liabilities in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, and were fully applied to Medicare claims and recognized as resident fees and services revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Financing Component

We have elected a practical expedient allowed under ASC Topic 606 and, therefore, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration from patients and third-party payors for the effects of a significant financing component due to our expectation that the period between the time the service is provided to a patient and the time that the patient or a third-party payor pays for that service will be one year or less.

Contract Costs

We have applied the practical expedient provided by FASB ASC Topic 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, and, therefore, all incremental customer contract acquisition costs are expensed as they are incurred since the amortization period of the asset that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less in duration.

Resident and Tenant Receivables and Allowances

Resident receivables, which are related to resident fees and services revenue, are carried net of an allowance for credit losses. An allowance is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of residents and payors to meet the contractual obligations under their lease or service agreements. Substantially all of such allowances are recorded as direct reductions of resident fees and services revenue as contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors or implicit price concessions in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Our determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, the residents’ financial condition, security deposits, cash collection patterns by payor and by state, current economic conditions, future expectations in estimating credit losses and other relevant factors. Tenant receivables, which are related to real estate revenue, and unbilled deferred rent receivables are reduced for uncollectible amounts, which are recognized as direct reductions of real estate revenue in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $14,071,000 and $12,378,000, respectively, in allowances, which were determined necessary to reduce receivables by our expected future credit losses. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we increased allowances by $21,538,000, $10,779,000 and $12,494,000, respectively, and reduced allowances for collections or adjustments by $9,161,000, $5,624,000 and $7,697,000, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, $10,684,000, $4,353,000 and $6,766,000, respectively, of our receivables were written off against the related allowances. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the allowance also included an increase of $2,110,000 as a result of the Merger.

Real Estate Investments Purchase Price Allocation

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties or entities owning real estate properties, we determine whether the transaction is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are not a business, we account for the transaction as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, we recognize the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed; however, for a transaction accounted for as an asset acquisition, we capitalize transaction costs and allocate the purchase price using a relative fair value method allocating all accumulated costs, whereas for a transaction accounted for as a business combination, we immediately expense transaction costs incurred associated with the business combination and allocate the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of each separately identifiable asset and liability. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, our investment transactions were accounted for as asset acquisitions or as business combinations, as applicable. For the year ended December 31, 2020, all of our investment transactions were accounted for as asset acquisitions. See Note 3, Real Estate Investments, Net — Acquisition of Real Estate Investments, and Note 4, Business Combinations, for a further discussion.

We, with assistance from independent valuation specialists, measure the fair value of tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities, as applicable, based on their respective fair values for acquired properties. Our method for allocating the purchase price to acquired investments in real estate requires us to make subjective assessments for determining fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This includes determining the value of the buildings, land, leasehold interests, furniture, fixtures and equipment, above- or below-market rent, in-place leases, master leases, tenant improvements, above- or below-market debt assumed, derivative financial instruments assumed, and noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, if any. These estimates require significant judgment and in some cases involve complex calculations. These allocation assessments directly impact our results of operations, as amounts allocated to certain assets and liabilities have different depreciation or amortization lives. In addition, we amortize the value assigned to above- or below-market rent as a component of revenue, unlike in-place leases and other intangibles, which we include in depreciation and amortization in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The determination of the fair value of land is based upon comparable sales data. In cases where a leasehold interest in the land is acquired, only the above/below market consideration is necessary where the value of the leasehold interest is determined by discounting the difference between the contract ground lease payments and a market ground lease payment back to a present value as of the acquisition date. The fair value of buildings is based upon our determination of the value under two methods: one, as if it were to be replaced and vacant using cost data and, two, also using a residual technique based on discounted cash flow models, as vacant. Factors considered by us include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. We also recognize the fair value of furniture, fixtures and equipment on the premises, as well as the above- or below-market rent, the value of in-place leases, master leases, above- or below-market debt and derivative financial instruments assumed.

The value of the above- or below-market component of the acquired in-place leases is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between: (i) the level payment equivalent of the contract rent paid pursuant to the lease; and (ii) our estimate of market rent payments taking into account the expected market rent growth. In the case of leases with options, a case-by-case analysis is performed based on all facts and circumstances of the specific lease to determine whether the option will be assumed to be exercised. The amounts related to above-market leases are included in identified intangible assets, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized as a decrease to real estate revenue over the remaining non-cancelable lease term of the acquired leases with each property. The amounts related to below-market leases are included in identified intangible liabilities, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized as an increase to real estate revenue over the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any below-market renewal options of the acquired leases with each property.

Filing HTML rendered to line-structured narrative text by the shipped reducer (datafeeds.edgar_fulltext.visible_text, keep_table_headers=True): scripts and inline-XBRL headers are dropped, and table content is reduced to its short label cells — numeric table data is not rendered and is therefore not counted. The same rendering is used for every year, so a year-over-year comparison is like for like.

The text is our rendering of the filing, not a facsimile: original pagination, typography and tables are not reproduced, and the numbers live in the financial statements (FA).

The outline locates item HEADINGS in this document. Only Items 1A and 7 have certified boundaries elsewhere in the terminal (the redline and the narrative-overlap number); every span here runs from one heading found to the next heading found.

How the outline was chosen. It is the longest chain of item headings that runs forward through both the document and the standard item order: 22 headings are on that chain and 16 further heading-shaped lines are not — the table-of-contents echo of every item, cross-references and exhibit-list mentions. Each entry's length is measured from its heading to the next heading on the chain.
