Forward Guidance

HTA updates its 2021 guidance with net income attributable to common stockholders per share between $0.44 and $0.48, Same-Property Cash NOI between 2.0% and 2.5%, FFO per share as defined by NAREIT between $1.73 and $1.77, and Normalized FFO per share between $1.75 and $1.77.

Positive Outlook

  • $400 - $500 million of investments at an average 5.5% to 6.0% yield
  • General and administrative costs of $43 - $46 million
  • Developments being substantially completed as planned
  • Average fully diluted shares of between 224 and 225 million fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding, with proceeds from equity previously raised on a forward basis being utilized to fund acquisitions as they close.
  • HTA expects leverage to range between 5.5x and 6.0x throughout the year.

Challenges Ahead

  • The 2021 guidance is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are beyond HTA’s control.
  • HTA’s guidance does not contemplate impacts from gains or losses from dispositions, potential impairments, or debt extinguishment costs, if any.
  • If actual results vary from these assumptions, HTA’s expectations may change.
  • The lower end of the range assumes settlement of forward equity agreements without deployment of cash proceeds for investments.
  • There can be no assurance that HTA will achieve these results.
