Insights

Healthpeak Properties, Inc.'s report of a Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of 5.2x indicates a moderate level of leverage, which is within the acceptable range for real estate investment trusts (REITs). However, it is crucial to monitor this ratio as an increase could imply higher risk, particularly in a rising interest rate environment which could affect the cost of debt servicing. The issuance of $750 million in senior unsecured notes at a blended yield of approximately 5.35% reflects current market conditions and the company's creditworthiness. This capital raise, coupled with the disposal of non-core properties, suggests a strategic shift towards optimizing the portfolio for core operations and could impact the stock valuation positively if the funds are deployed effectively.

The total same-store portfolio cash NOI growth of 4.8% for the full year and 3.6% for the fourth quarter is a positive indicator of Healthpeak Properties' operational efficiency and asset quality. This growth rate is competitive within the healthcare real estate sector and demonstrates the company's ability to effectively manage its properties. The positive cash releasing spreads on renewals for both outpatient and lab leases, especially the notable +23% for lab leases, reflect strong demand in the life sciences sector and Healthpeak's ability to capitalize on this trend. These factors could lead to increased investor confidence and potentially enhance the company's market position.

The entitlements received for 1.3 million square feet of lab development and the commencement of new outpatient developments signal Healthpeak's proactive approach to growth within the healthcare real estate market. The strategic focus on lab and outpatient facilities is in line with broader industry trends towards specialized and decentralized healthcare services. The development completions and new starts reflect the company's commitment to expanding its portfolio in key life sciences clusters such as South San Francisco, which is known for its robust biotech ecosystem. These developments could potentially offer long-term value creation for shareholders through increased rental income and asset appreciation.

CALLAN RIDGE LAB CAMPUS JOINT VENTURE SALE

As previously announced, in January 2024, Healthpeak formed a new strategic joint venture with Breakthrough Properties (“Breakthrough”) through a sale of a 65% interest in Healthpeak’s fully leased Callan Ridge lab campus in the Torrey Pines submarket of San Diego.

The formation of the 65% Breakthrough / 35% Healthpeak joint venture values Callan Ridge at $236 million, or $1,275 per square foot, and represents a stabilized cash capitalization rate of 5.3% based on the initial annual rental rate of approximately $67 per square foot. At closing, net proceeds to Healthpeak were approximately $130 million. Additionally, the formation of the joint venture reduces Healthpeak's future tenant improvement funding by approximately $20 million.

Healthpeak began construction on the 185,000 square foot Callan Ridge campus in 2021. The two-building campus is fully leased to Turning Point Therapeutics, Inc., a subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY), through April 2035.

DEVELOPMENT UPDATES

VANTAGE ENTITLEMENTS

As previously announced, in December 2023, Healthpeak received entitlements for an additional 1.3 million square feet of lab space at the Vantage campus, bringing the combined campus to approximately 1.7 million square feet upon full build out. The additional entitlements represent double the allowable density compared to when Healthpeak originally acquired the land. The long-term nature of the entitlements offers flexibility to deliver the balance of the development in phases to align with market demand.

Strategically located in the heart of South San Francisco and at the doorstep of Genentech’s headquarters, the 20-acre purpose-built lab campus offers tenants a highly amenitized, world-class campus setting with access to multiple modes of transportation including direct access to the Rails-to-Trails pathway, which provides a pedestrian connection to downtown South San Francisco's restaurant and retail corridor, as well as the Caltrain station, which recently completed a multi-year renovation.

Healthpeak is South San Francisco's largest investor-owned landlord with a portfolio that encompasses 4.9 million square feet, including some the submarket's most desirable campuses including The Cove, Portside at Oyster Point, The Shore, Vantage, and Pointe Grand, among others.

OUTPATIENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM WITH HCA

During the fourth quarter, Healthpeak added two on-campus outpatient developments with total expected development costs of $90 million to its program with HCA.

  • Galen Aurora: 72,000 square foot Class A medical training facility located on HCA’s Medical Center of Aurora hospital campus, a 325-bed acute care hospital in Denver, CO where Healthpeak currently owns three on-campus buildings totaling approximately 165,000 square feet. HCA nursing and professional education affiliates have pre-leased 100% of the development.
  • McKinney Medical Center: 120,000 square foot Class A outpatient building on the campus of HCA's Medical City McKinney campus, a 281-bed acute care hospital in McKinney, TX where Healthpeak currently owns two on-campus buildings totaling approximately 120,000 square feet. HCA affiliates have pre-leased approximately 62% of the development for future outpatient services, including oncology, orthopedic, cardiology, wound care, imaging, and other services.

Since 2019, Healthpeak’s development program with HCA has delivered 9 outpatient buildings totaling 785,000 square feet with total development costs of approximately $235 million and is under construction on an additional three buildings totaling 262,000 square feet with total expected development costs of $121 million.

MERGER WITH PHYSICIANS REALTY TRUST AND TERM LOAN UPDATE

As previously announced on October 30, 2023, Healthpeak and Physicians Realty Trust entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock merger of equals. Each company will hold its respective special meeting of stockholders on February 21, 2024. Subject to Physicians Realty Trust's stockholders approving the proposed merger and Healthpeak's stockholders approving the issuance of Healthpeak common stock in connection with the proposed merger, among other matters, as well as the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close on March 1, 2024.

Additionally, Healthpeak expects to enter into a new $750 million 5-year unsecured term loan. Proceeds from the term loan are expected to fund the repayment of $210 million of Physicians Realty Trust private placement notes and to be used for general corporate purposes, including transaction costs and repayment of borrowings under Healthpeak's credit facility and commercial paper program. Healthpeak has entered into forward-starting swap agreements to fix the interest rate of the new term loan at approximately 4.5% for the full 5-year term of the loan.

DIVIDEND

On January 31, 2024, Healthpeak's Board declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.30 per share to be paid on February 26, 2024, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 14, 2024.

2024 OUTLOOK

For full year 2024, we have established the following outlook ranges, which are inclusive of the impact from the Physicians Realty Trust merger:

  • Diluted earnings per common share of $0.07$0.13
  • Diluted Nareit FFO per share of $1.54$1.60
  • Diluted FFO as Adjusted per share of $1.73$1.79  
  • Diluted AFFO per share of $1.50$1.56
  • Total Portfolio Same-Store Cash (Adjusted) NOI growth of 2.25%3.75%

This outlook assumes the merger with Physicians Realty Trust closes on March 1, 2024. These estimates are based on our view of existing market conditions, transaction timing, and other assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2024. Additionally, the outlook includes estimates for certain merger-related accounting adjustments, which will not be finalized until after the merger closes.

The three months and year ended December 31, 2023 include costs related to the proposed merger with Physicians Realty Trust, which are primarily comprised of legal, accounting, tax, and other costs that were incurred prior to year-end, partially offset by termination fee income associated with Graphite Bio, Inc., for which the lease terms have been modified to accelerate expiration of the lease to December 2024. Termination fee income is included in rental and related revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In conjunction with classifying the assets related to the Callan Ridge JV as held for sale as of December 31, 2023, we concluded it was more likely than not that we would realize the future value of certain deferred tax assets generated by the net operating losses of taxable REIT subsidiaries. Accordingly, during the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized the reversal of a portion of the associated valuation allowance and recognized a corresponding income tax benefit.
