FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "potential," "intend," "expect," "seek," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "could," "project," "predict," "continue," "future" or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Such statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to our ability to make distributions to our stockholders; our ability to retain our senior executives and other sufficient personnel to manage our business; our ability to realize substantial efficiencies as well as anticipated strategic and financial benefits of the internalization of our management function; the operating performance of our investments; our financing needs; the effects of our current strategies and investment activities; and our ability to effectively deploy capital. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements and you should not unduly rely on these statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from those forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on information available to us on the date hereof and we are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results.
Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects are set forth in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the heading "Risk Factors." The risk factors set forth in our filings with the SEC could cause our actual results to differ significantly from those contained in any forward-looking statement contained in this report.

_______________________________________
(1) The Company had 300,333 and 203,742 restricted stock units issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The impact of the restricted stock units on the diluted earnings per share calculation is de minimis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The restricted stock units have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as their impact is anti-dilutive due to the net loss generated during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Refer to accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

NORTHSTAR HEALTHCARE INCOME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Business and Organization
NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company"), owns a diversified portfolio of seniors housing properties, including independent living facilities ("ILFs"), assisted living facilities ("ALFs") and memory care facilities ("MCFs") located throughout the United States.
The Company was formed in October 2010 as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations in February 2013. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. The Company has conducted its operations, and intends to do so in the future, so as to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through NorthStar Healthcare Income Operating Partnership, LP (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are NorthStar Healthcare Income Advisor, LLC and NorthStar Healthcare Income OP Holdings, LLC (the "Special Unit Holder"), which became indirect subsidiaries of the Company on June 9, 2023. NorthStar Healthcare Income Advisor, LLC invested $1,000 in the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units and the Special Unit Holder invested $1,000 in the Operating Partnership and was issued a separate class of limited partnership units (the "Special Units"), which were collectively recorded as non-controlling interests on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets prior to June 9, 2023. As the Company issued shares, it contributed substantially all of the proceeds from its continuous, public offerings to the Operating Partnership as a capital contribution. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, was 100%.
The Company's charter authorizes the issuance of up to 400.0 million shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share and up to 50.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. The board of directors of the Company is authorized to amend its charter, without the approval of the stockholders, to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of capital stock or the number of shares of any class or series that the Company has authority to issue.
The Company raised $2.0 billion in total gross proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in its continuous, public offerings (the "Offering"), including $232.6 million pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRP").
The Internalization
From inception through October 21, 2022, the Company was externally managed by CNI NSHC Advisors, LLC or its predecessor (the "Former Advisor"), an affiliate of NRF Holdco, LLC (the "Former Sponsor"). The Former Advisor was responsible for managing the Company's operations, subject to the supervision of the Company's board of directors, pursuant to an advisory agreement. On October 21, 2022, the Company completed the internalization of the Company's management function (the "Internalization"). In connection with the Internalization, the Company agreed with the Former Advisor to terminate the advisory agreement and arranged for the Former Advisor to continue to provide certain services for a transition period.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2024.

Reclassifications
Prior period amounts have been reclassified on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of cash flows from escrow deposit payable to other liabilities to conform to the current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest by first considering if an entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary or if the Company has the power to control an entity through majority voting interest or other arrangements. All significant intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. A VIE is defined as an entity in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE includes both a qualitative and quantitative analysis. The Company bases its qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and relevant financial agreements and the quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flow of the entity. The Company reassesses its initial evaluation of an entity as a VIE upon the occurrence of certain reconsideration events.
A VIE must be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who, along with its affiliates and agents, has both the: (i) power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance; and (ii) obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by considering qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of its investment; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other interests to provide financial support; consideration of the VIE's purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders and the similarity with and significance to the business activities of the Company and the other interests. The Company reassesses its determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE each reporting period. Judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair value and performance of investments held by these VIEs and general market conditions.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has identified certain consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs. Assets of each of the VIEs may only be used to settle obligations of the respective VIE. Creditors of each of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.
Consolidated VIEs
The most significant VIEs of the Company are certain entities that are consolidated by the Operating Partnership. These entities are VIEs because of non-controlling interests owned by third parties, which do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. Included in operating real estate, net and mortgage notes payable, net on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 is $99.1 million and $160.4 million, respectively, related to such consolidated VIEs.
Unconsolidated VIEs
As of September 30, 2024, the Company identified unconsolidated VIEs related to its investments in unconsolidated ventures with a carrying value totaling $0.5 million. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of September 30, 2024 would not exceed the carrying value of its investment in the VIEs. The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs and, accordingly, they are not consolidated in the Company's financial statements as of September 30, 2024. The Company did not provide financial support to its unconsolidated VIEs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, there were no explicit arrangements or implicit variable interests that could require the Company to provide financial support to its unconsolidated VIEs.
Voting Interest Entities
A voting interest entity is an entity in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable it to finance its activities independently and the equity holders have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its
11
Table of Contents
NORTHSTAR HEALTHCARE INCOME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
economic performance, the obligation to absorb the losses of the entity and the right to receive the residual returns of the entity. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest in a voting interest entity is ownership of a majority voting interest. If the Company has a majority voting interest in a voting interest entity, the entity will generally be consolidated. The Company does not consolidate a voting interest entity if there are substantive participating rights by other parties and/or kick-out rights by a single party or through a simple majority vote.
The Company performs on-going reassessments of whether entities previously evaluated under the voting interest framework have become VIEs, based on certain events, and therefore subject to the VIE consolidation framework.
Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures
The Company will account for an investment under the equity method of accounting if it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of an entity, but does not have a controlling financial interest. Under the equity method, the investment is adjusted each period for capital contributions and distributions and its share of the entity's net income (loss). Capital contributions, distributions and net income (loss) of such entities are recorded in accordance with the terms of the governing documents. An allocation of net income (loss) may differ from the stated ownership percentage interest in such entity as a result of preferred returns and allocation formulas, if any, as described in such governing documents. Equity method investments are recognized using a cost accumulation model, in which the investment is recognized based on the cost to the investor, which includes acquisition fees. The Company records as an expense certain acquisition costs and fees associated with consolidated investments deemed to be business combinations and capitalizes these costs for investments deemed to be acquisitions of an asset, including an equity method investment.
The Company may elect the fair value option of accounting for an investment that would otherwise be accounted for under the equity method. The fair value option election allows an entity to make an irrevocable election of fair value for certain financial assets and liabilities on an instrument-by-instrument basis at the initial or subsequent measurement. The decision to elect the fair value option must be applied to an entire instrument and is irrevocable once elected. Under the fair value option, the Company records its share of the changes to fair value of the investment through gain (loss) on investments and other in the consolidated statements of operations. On June 30, 2023, the Company elected the fair value option method to account for its investment in the Espresso joint venture. Refer to Note 4 "Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures" and Note 10 "Fair Value" for further discussion.
Non-controlling Interests
A non-controlling interest in a consolidated subsidiary is defined as the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. A non-controlling interest is required to be presented as a separate component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets and presented separately as net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to controlling and non-controlling interests. An allocation to a non-controlling interest may differ from the stated ownership percentage interest in such entity as a result of a preferred return and allocation formula, if any, as described in the relevant governing documents.
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions. Any estimates of the effects of inflation, rising interest rates, risk of recession and other economic conditions as reflected and/or discussed in these financial statements are based upon the Company's best estimates using information known to the Company as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such estimates may change and the impact of which could be material.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash, including amounts restricted, may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250,000 per institution. The Company mitigates credit risk by placing cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions and money market funds invested in short-term U.S. government securities. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted cash consists of amounts related to operating real estate (escrows for taxes, insurance, capital expenditures, security deposits received from residents and payments required under certain lease agreements) and other escrows required by lenders of the Company's borrowings.

Operating Real Estate
Operating real estate is carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Major replacements and betterments which improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their useful life. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Operating real estate is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, summarized as follows:
|
Category:
|
Term:
|
Building
|
39 to 49 years
|
Building improvements
|
Lesser of the useful life or remaining life of the building
|
Land improvements
|
9 to 15 years
|
Tenant improvements
|
Lesser of the useful life or remaining term of the lease
|
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
|
5 to 14 years
|
Construction costs incurred in connection with the Company's investments are capitalized and included in operating real estate, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the asset is available for its intended use.
Lessee Accounting
A leasing arrangement, a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, is classified by the lessee either as a finance lease, which represents a financed purchase of the leased asset, or as an operating lease. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, a lease asset and a lease liability are recognized on the balance sheet at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
Lease renewal or termination options are included in the lease asset and lease liability only if it is reasonably certain that the option to extend would be exercised or the option to terminate would not be exercised. As the implicit rate in most leases are not readily determinable, the Company's incremental borrowing rate for each lease at commencement date is used to determine the present value of lease payments. Consideration is given to the Company's recent debt financing transactions, as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics, adjusted for the respective lease term, when estimating incremental borrowing rates.
Lease expense is recognized over the lease term based on an effective interest method for finance leases and on a straight-line basis for operating leases.
Right of Use ("ROU") - Finance Assets
The Company has entered into finance leases for equipment which are included in operating real estate, net on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2024, furniture, fixtures and equipment under finance leases totaled $0.3 million. The leased equipment is amortized on a straight-line basis. Payments for finance leases totaled $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The weighted average interest rate related to the finance lease obligations is 8.5% with a weighted average lease term of 4.4 years.
As of September 30, 2024, there were no leases that had yet to commence which would create significant rights and obligations to the Company as lessee.
Assets Held For Sale
The Company classifies certain long-lived assets as held for sale once the criteria, as defined by U.S. GAAP, have been met and are expected to sell within one year. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value minus cost to sell, with any write-down recorded to impairment loss on the consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation and amortization is not recorded for assets classified as held for sale.
In September 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell a land parcel within the Rochester portfolio for $0.2 million, and as of September 30, 2024, has classified the property as held for sale on its consolidated balance sheets. At the time of the reclassification to held for sale, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $0.3 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had one property within the Rochester portfolio classified as held for sale, which was sold in February 2024.
Intangible Assets and Deferred Costs
Deferred Costs
Deferred costs consist of deferred financing costs. Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal and other third-party costs associated with obtaining financing. These costs are recorded against the carrying value of such financing and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the financing using the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed to gain (loss) on investments and other, when the associated borrowing is repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions which do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not occur.
Identified Intangibles
The Company records acquired identified intangibles, such as the value of in-place leases and other intangibles, based on estimated fair value at the acquisition date. The value allocated to the identified intangibles is amortized over the remaining lease term. In-place leases are amortized into depreciation and amortization expense.
Impairment analysis for identified intangible assets is performed in connection with the impairment assessment of the related operating real estate. An impairment establishes a new basis for the identified intangible asset and any impairment loss recognized is not subject to subsequent reversal. Refer to "-Impairment on Operating Real Estate and Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures" for additional information.

Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its interest rate risk. The Company's derivative instruments are recorded at fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value of derivatives depends upon whether or not the Company has elected to designate the derivative in a hedging relationship and the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting. Under hedge accounting, changes in fair value for derivatives are recorded through other comprehensive income. When hedge accounting is not elected, changes in fair value for derivatives are recorded through the income statement.
The Company has interest rate caps that have not been designated for hedge accounting. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has one interest rate cap agreement in place. The fair value of the Company's interest rate caps totaled $0.2 million and $0.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is presented in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value of derivativeshave been recorded in gain (loss) on investments and other in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized losses related to changes in fair value totaling $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and losses totaling $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Revenue Recognition
Operating Real Estate
Rental income from operating real estate is derived from leasing of space to operators and residents, including rent received from the Company's net lease properties and rent, ancillary service fees and other related revenue earned from ILF residents. Rental income recognition commences when the operator takes legal possession of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. The leases are for fixed terms of varying length and generally provide for rentals and expense reimbursements to be paid in monthly installments. Rental income from leases, which includes community and move-in fees, is recognized over the term of the respective leases. ILF resident agreements are generally short-term in nature and may allow for termination with 30 days' notice.
The Company also generates revenue from operating healthcare properties. Revenue related to operating healthcare properties includes resident room and care charges, ancillary fees and other resident service charges. Rent is charged and revenue is recognized when such services are provided, generally defined per the resident agreement as of the date upon which a resident occupies a room or uses the services. Resident agreements are generally short-term in nature and may allow for termination with

30 days' notice. Revenue derived from our ALFs and MCFs is recorded in resident fee income in the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue from operators and residents is recognized at lease commencement only to the extent collection is expected to be probable. This assessment is based on several qualitative and quantitative factors, including and as appropriate, the payment history, ability to satisfy its lease obligations, the value of the underlying collateral or deposit, if any, and current economic conditions. If collection is assessed to not be probable, thereafter lease income recognized is limited to amounts collected, with the reversal of any revenue recognized to date in excess of amounts received. If collection is subsequently reassessed to be probable, revenue is adjusted to reflect the amount that would have been recognized had collection always been assessed as probable.
Beginning in February 2021, the operator of the Company's four net lease properties failed to remit contractual monthly rent obligations and the Company deemed it not probable that these obligations will be satisfied in the foreseeable future. On March 27, 2023, the Company entered into a lease forbearance and modification agreement (the "Forbearance Agreement") with the existing operator, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will be entitled to receive all cash flow in excess of permitted expenses, and be required to fund any operating deficits, through 2025, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. The Company received and recorded rental income related to its net lease properties of $1.1 million and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.8 million and $1.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, total property and other revenue includes variable lease revenue of $3.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, total property and other revenue includes variable lease revenue of $10.8 million and $10.7 million, respectively. Variable lease revenue includes ancillary services provided to residents, as well as non-recurring services and fees at the Company's operating facilities.
Impairment on Operating Real Estate and Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures
Operating Real Estate and Assets Held for Sale
The Company's real estate portfolio is reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary, to assess whether there are any indicators that the value of its operating real estate may be impaired or that its carrying value may not be recoverable. A property's value may be impaired if the Company's estimate of the aggregate expected future undiscounted cash flow generated by the property is less than the carrying value. In conducting this review, the Company considers U.S. macroeconomic factors, real estate and healthcare sector conditions, together with asset specific and other factors. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the property over the estimated fair value and recorded as impairment loss in the consolidated statements of operations.
Real estate held for sale is stated at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less disposal cost, with any write-down to disposal cost recorded as an impairment loss. For any increase in fair value less disposal cost subsequent to classification as held for sale, the impairment may be reversed, but only up to the amount of cumulative loss previously recognized.
The Company considered the potential impact of the lasting effects of inflation, elevated interest rates, risk of recession and other economic conditions on the future net operating income of its real estate held for investment as an indicator of impairment. Fair values were estimated based upon the income capitalization approach, using net operating income for each property and applying indicative capitalization rates.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded impairment losses on its operating real estate totaling $3.7 million, including impairment losses of $3.0 million for the Company's Oak Cottage property as a result of lower operating margins and projected future cash flows, $0.4 million of impairment losses for property damage sustained by facilities within the Winterfell and Aqua portfolios and impairment losses of $0.3 million to reflect the market value of land parcels within the Rochester portfolio.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded impairment losses on its operating real estate totaling $38.7 million, including impairment losses of $38.6 million for five facilities within the Rochester Sub-Portfolio (as defined in Note 5, "Borrowings").

Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures
The Company reviews its investments in unconsolidated ventures on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary, to assess whether there are any indicators that the value may be impaired or that its carrying value may not be recoverable. An investment is considered impaired if the projected net recoverable amount over the expected holding period is less than the carrying value. In conducting this review, the Company considers global macroeconomic factors, including real estate sector conditions, together with investment specific and other factors. To the extent an impairment has occurred on the Company's investment in unconsolidated ventures, and is considered to be other than temporary, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the estimated fair value and recorded in impairment loss in the consolidated statements of operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not record impairment on its investments in unconsolidated ventures.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company impaired its investment in the Espresso joint venture by $4.7 million, which reduced the carrying value of its investment to $3.1 million as of June 30, 2023. The Company's assessment for the fair value of its investment took into consideration the joint venture's remaining assets and estimated future cash distributions, less transaction and wind down costs. Upon impairing its investment, the Company elected the fair value option method to account for its investment in the Espresso joint venture on June 30, 2023.
Credit Losses on Receivables
The current expected credit loss model, in estimating expected credit losses over the life of a financial instrument at the time of origination or acquisition, considers historical loss experiences, current conditions and the effects of reasonable and supportable expectations of changes in future macroeconomic conditions. The Company assesses the estimate of expected credit losses on a quarterly basis or more frequently as necessary. The Company considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The Company measures expected credit losses of receivables on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. If the Company determines that a particular receivable does not share risk characteristics with its other receivables, the Company evaluates the receivable for expected credit losses on an individual basis.
When developing an estimate of expected credit losses on receivables, the Company considers available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows. This information may include internal information, external information, or a combination of both relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company considers relevant qualitative and quantitative factors that relate to the environment in which the Company operates and are specific to the borrower.
Further, the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, may be used when determining the allowance for credit losses for a receivable for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has not recorded an allowance for credit losses on its receivables.
Acquisition Fees and Expenses
The Company expensed certain acquisition costs and fees associated with transactions deemed to be business combinations and capitalized these costs for transactions deemed to be acquisitions of an asset, including an equity investment.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity-based compensation awards using the fair value method, which requires an estimate of fair value of the award at the time of grant. All fixed equity-based awards to directors, which have no vesting conditions other than time of service, are amortized to compensation expense over the awards' vesting period on a straight-line basis. Equity-based compensation is classified within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT and to comply with the related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code beginning in its taxable year ended December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the Company will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of its distributions to stockholders as long as certain asset, gross income and share ownership tests are met. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute dividends equal to at least 90.0% of its REIT taxable
17

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
income (with certain adjustments) to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements. The Company believes that all of the criteria to maintain the Company's REIT qualification have been met for the applicable periods.
For the taxable year ended December 31, 2024, the Company anticipates that its REIT taxable income, if any, will be offset by its net operating loss carry-forward and as such, the Company will not be subject to the distribution requirements. The Company's most recently filed tax return is for the year ended December 31, 2023 and includes a net operating loss carry-forward of $349.2 million.
If the Company were to fail to meet these requirements, it would be subject to U.S. federal income tax and potential interest and penalties, which could have a material adverse impact on its results of operations and amounts available for distributions to its stockholders. The Company's accounting policy with respect to interest and penalties is to classify these amounts as a component of income tax expense, where applicable. The Company has assessed its tax positions for all open tax years, which include 2019 to 2023, and concluded there were no material uncertainties to be recognized. The Company may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Under certain circumstances, federal income and excise taxes may be due on its undistributed taxable income.
The Company made a joint election to treat certain subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") which may be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. In general, a TRS of the Company may perform services for managers/operators/residents of the Company, hold assets that the Company cannot hold directly and may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business.
Certain subsidiaries of the Company are subject to taxation by federal and state authorities for the periods presented. Income taxes are accounted for by the asset/liability approach in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Deferred taxes, if any, represent the expected future tax consequences when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. Such amounts arise from differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax laws and tax rates in the period which such changes are enacted. A provision for income tax represents the total of income taxes paid or payable for the current period, plus the change in deferred taxes. Current and deferred taxes are provided on the portion of earnings (losses) recognized by the Company with respect to its interest in the TRS.
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $20,000 and $59,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately $17,000 and $43,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are calculated based on temporary differences between the Company's U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements and the federal and state income tax basis of assets and liabilities as of the consolidated balance sheet date. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets (e.g., net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards) and recognizes a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of its deferred tax assets, the Company considers estimates of expected future taxable income, existing and projected book/tax differences, tax planning strategies available and the general and industry specific economic outlook. This realizability analysis is inherently subjective, as it requires the Company to forecast its business and general economic environment in future periods. Changes in estimate of deferred tax asset realizability, if any, are included in provision for income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has a deferred tax asset and continues to have a full valuation allowance recognized, as there are no changes in the facts and circumstances to indicate that the Company should release the valuation allowance.
The components of the Company's deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows (in thousands):

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports consolidated comprehensive income (loss) in separate statements following the consolidated statements of operations. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity resulting from net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"). The only component of OCI for the Company was foreign currency translation adjustments related to its investment in an unconsolidated venture.
Foreign Currency
Prior to the sale of the Company's investment in an unconsolidated venture in 2023, the Company had exposure to foreign currency through the investment, the effects of which were recorded as a component of accumulated OCI in the consolidated statements of equity and in equity in earnings (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations. Upon the sale, the accumulated foreign currency losses were reclassified to gain (loss) on investments and other on the consolidated statements of operations and the Company is no longer exposed to foreign currency.

Rochester Sub-Portfolio
As a result of the mortgage loan payment defaults in July 2023, on October 30, 2023, the Rochester Sub-Portfolio (as defined in Note 5, "Borrowings") was placed into a receivership. The receiver now has effective control of the properties until ownership of the properties transfers to the lender or its designee.
As a result of the loss of control, the Company discontinued recognizing revenues and expenses related to the Rochester Sub-Portfolio as of October 30, 2023 and derecognized the properties and related assets from the Company's financial statements, which resulted in a $59.0 million loss recognized in accordance with ASC 610-20, "Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets" during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Arbors Portfolio
Beginning in February 2021, Arcadia Management, the operator of the Company's four net lease properties in the Arbors portfolio, failed to remit contractual monthly rent obligations. The Company deemed it not probable that these obligations will be satisfied in the foreseeable future and began recognizing rental income as received on a cash basis. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received and recorded rental income of $1.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to its net lease properties.

(1)Includes the outstanding principal of the Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan (as defined below), which is in default.
Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan
In July 2023, the Company elected not to use cash reserves to pay July debt service on seven cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized mortgage notes with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $99.8 million (the "Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan") secured by five ILFs and two ALFs (the "Rochester Sub-Portfolio") that did not generate sufficient cash flow to pay debt service in full. The Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan is non-recourse to the Company, subject to limited customary exceptions.

(Unaudited)
As a result of the payment default, on October 25, 2023, the lender filed a complaint seeking the appointment of a receiver and foreclosure on the underlying properties and to enforce its rights in its collateral under the loan documents and, on October 30, 2023, the Rochester Sub-Portfolio was placed into a receivership to facilitate an orderly transition of the operations, and eventually ownership, of the properties.
Once legal ownership of the Rochester Sub-Portfolio transfers and the obligations under the Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan are extinguished, the Company expects to recognize a gain related to the debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470, "Debt." However, until the extinguishment occurs, default interest expense and any other expenses related to the Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan will continue to accrue. As of September 30, 2024, $99.8 million of outstanding mortgage debt and $17.2 million of accrued interest expense were included on the Company's consolidated balance sheets related to the Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan.
Arbors Portfolio
Beginning in February 2021, the operator of the four net lease properties in the Arbors portfolio was unable to satisfy its obligations under its leases and began remitting rent based on its available cash after satisfying property-level expenses, which resulted in a default under the four cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized mortgage notes secured by the Arbor portfolio (the "Arbors Loan"). On March 27, 2023, with consent of the lender, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement relating to the lease defaults. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash flow, net of expenses, paid by the operator of the Arbors portfolio to the Company in accordance with the forbearance agreement was not sufficient to cover related debt service on the Arbors Loan and the Company used $2.5 million of cash reserves to pay contractual debt service on the Arbors Loan. As of September 30, 2024, the Company is current with all payment obligations under the Arbors Loan. The Arbors Loan matures in February 2025 and is non-recourse to the Company, subject to limited customary exceptions. The Company will continue to monitor the operator of the Arbors portfolio's performance and cash flows closely, as well as evaluate options for this portfolio.
6. Related Party Arrangements
Former Advisor
In connection with the Internalization, on October 21, 2022, the advisory agreement was terminated and, along with the Operating Partnership and the Former Advisor, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the "TSA") to facilitate an orderly transition of the Company's management of its operations. As of December 31, 2023, the TSA was effectively terminated.
Prior to the Internalization, the Former Advisor was responsible for managing the Company's affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying, acquiring, originating and asset managing investments on behalf of the Company. For such services, to the extent permitted by law and regulations, the Former Advisor received fees and reimbursements from the Company. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Former Advisor could defer or waive fees in its discretion.
Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures
Solstice, the manager of one of the Company's operating investments, the Winterfell portfolio, is a joint venture between affiliates of ISL, which owns 80.0%, and the Company, which owns 20.0%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized property management fee expense of $5.4 million payable to Solstice related to the Winterfell portfolio.
7. Equity-Based Compensation
The Company adopted a long-term incentive plan, as amended (the "Plan"), which it may use to attract and retain qualified officers, directors, employees and consultants, as well as an independent directors compensation plan, which is a component of the Plan. Under the Plan, 2.0 million shares of restricted common stock were eligible to be issued for any equity-based awards granted under the Plan.
Pursuant to the Plan, as of September 30, 2024, the Company's independent directors were granted a total of 159,932 shares of restricted common stock and 300,333 restricted stock units totaling $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, based on the share price on the date of each grant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
The restricted common stock and restricted stock units granted generally vest quarterly over two years in equal installments and will become fully vested on the earlier occurrence of: (i) the termination of the independent director's service as a director due to his or her death or disability; or (ii) a change in control of the Company. The restricted stock units are convertible, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of the Company's common stock upon the earlier occurrence of: (i) the termination of the independent director's service as a director; or (ii) a change in control of the Company.
The Company recognized equity-based compensation expense of $63,750 and $56,250 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $176,250 and $170,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Equity-based compensation expense is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Unrecognized expense related to unvested restricted stock units totaled $318,750 and $240,000 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Unvested restricted stock units totaled 117,153 and 77,741 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
8. Stockholders' Equity
Common Stock
The Company stopped accepting subscriptions for its Offering on December 17, 2015 and all of the shares initially registered for its Offering were issued on or before January 19, 2016. The Company issued 173.4 million shares of common stock generating gross proceeds of $1.7 billion, excluding proceeds from the DRP.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
The Company adopted the DRP through which common stockholders were able to elect to reinvest an amount equal to the distributions declared on their shares in additional shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of receiving cash distributions. Since inception, the Company issued 25.7 million shares of common stock, generating gross offering proceeds of $232.6 million pursuant to the DRP. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees were paid on shares issued pursuant to the DRP. In April 2022, the Company's board of directors elected to end the DRP, effective April 30, 2022.
Distributions
Effective February 1, 2019, the Company's board of directors determined to stop recurring distributions in order to preserve capital and liquidity.
On April 20, 2022, the Company's board of directors declared a special distribution of $0.50 per share (the "Special Distribution") for each stockholder of record on May 2, 2022 totaling approximately $97.0 million.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company adopted a share repurchase program that enabled stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances and could be amended, suspended, or terminated at any time. The Company previously funded repurchase requests with cash on hand, borrowings or other available capital. In April 2020, the Company's board of directors determined to suspend all repurchases under the share repurchase program effective April 30, 2020 in order to preserve capital and liquidity and does not currently anticipate resuming the share repurchase program.
9. Non-controlling Interests
Operating Partnership
Non-controlling interests included the aggregate limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership held by limited partners, other than the Company. Income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interests was based on the limited partners' ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. The Company acquired limited partner interests in 2023 as part of the consideration for the sale of certain investments in unconsolidated ventures, and as a result, the Company's limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, is 100%. Income (loss) allocated to the Operating Partnership non-controlling interests for the period prior to June 9, 2023 was de minimis.

Other
Other non-controlling interests represent third-party equity interests in ventures that are consolidated with the Company's financial statements. Net loss attributable to the other non-controlling interests was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.3 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
10. Fair Value
Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of financial instruments is categorized based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique and categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1.Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.
Level 2.Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:
a)Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
b)Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets.
c)Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
d)Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3.Prices or valuation techniques based on inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments consist of interest rate contracts and foreign exchange contracts that are generally traded over-the-counter, and are valued using a third-party service provider. Quotations on over-the-counter derivatives are not adjusted and are generally valued using observable inputs such as contractual cash flows, yield curve, foreign currency rates and credit spreads, and are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Although credit valuation adjustments, such as the risk of default, rely on Level 3 inputs, these inputs are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, derivative valuations in their entirety are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table presents financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 by level within the fair value hierarchy (dollars in thousands):

Derivative Assets - Interest Rate Caps
The Company's interest rate caps fair values are determined using models developed by the respective counterparty that use the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the caps. The floating interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the caps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.
Investment in Espresso Joint Venture
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Espresso joint venture completed the sale of its remaining sub-portfolios. The Company's assessment of fair value for its unconsolidated investment in the Espresso joint venture took into consideration its proportionate share of available cash, less wind down costs and other expenses. The Company believes the assessment of fair value to be reasonable as of September 30, 2024 and did not make any fair value adjustments during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of fair value about all financial instruments. The following disclosure of estimated fair value of financial instruments was determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair value.

(1)The fair value of other financial instruments not included in this table is estimated to approximate their carrying value.
Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of the reporting date. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect fair value, such amounts have
26
Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since that date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
Mortgage Notes Payable
The Company primarily uses rates currently available with similar terms and remaining maturities to estimate fair value. These measurements are determined using comparable U.S. Treasury and SOFR rates as of the end of the reporting period. These fair value measurements are based on observable inputs, and as such, are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Nonrecurring Fair Values
The Company measures fair value of certain assets on a nonrecurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of lower of amortized cost or fair value accounting for assets held for sale or otherwise or write-down of asset values due to impairment.
The following table summarizes the fair value and impairment losses of Level 3 assets which have been measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at the time of impairment during the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

Operating Real Estate, Net
Operating real estate that is impaired is carried at fair value at the time of impairment. Impairment was driven by various factors that impacted undiscounted future net cash flows, including declines in operating performance, market growth assumptions and expected margins to be generated by the properties. Fair value of impaired operating real estate was estimated based upon various approaches including discounted cash flow analysis using terminal capitalization rates ranging from 6.25% to 8.50% and discount rates ranging from 7.75% to 10.50%, third party appraisals and offer prices.
Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures
In June 2023, the Company impaired its investment in the Espresso joint venture by $4.7 million, which reduced the carrying value of its investment to $3.1 million as of June 30, 2023. The Company's assessment of fair value at the time of impairment for its investment took into consideration the net proceeds that are estimated to be realized from the sales, under contract, of the remaining real estate owned by the joint venture as well as the Company's proportionate share of available cash, less wind down costs and other expenses. Upon impairing its investment, the Company elected the fair value option method to account for its investment in the Espresso joint venture on June 30, 2023.
Assets Held For Sale
Assets held for sale are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Assets held for sale that were written down to fair value were generally valued using either broker opinions of value, or a combination of market information, including third-party appraisals and indicative sale prices, adjusted as deemed appropriate by management to account for the inherent risk associated with specific properties. In all cases, the fair value of assets held for sale is reduced for estimated selling costs. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had one land parcel within the Rochester portfolio classified as held for sale. In March 2024, the Company classified one land parcel within the Rochester portfolio as held for sale, which was sold in May 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the Company classified one operating real estate property within the Rochester portfolio as held for sale, which was sold in February 2024.

11. Segment Reporting
The Company conducts its business through the following segments, which are based on how management reviews and manages its business.
•Operating Investments - Properties operated pursuant to management agreements with healthcare managers.
•Net Lease Investments- Properties operated under net leases with an operator.
•Unconsolidated Investments - Joint venture investments, in which the Company owns a minority, non-controlling interest.
Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") evaluates performance of each reportable business segment and determines how to allocate resources to those segments, in significant part, based on net operating income ("NOI") and related measures for each segment. The Company defines NOI as property and other revenues, less property operating expenses. While the Company believes that net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement, the Company believes that NOI provides useful information to stockholders and provides management with a performance measure to compare the Company's operating results to the operating results of other healthcare real estate companies between periods on a consistent basis.
The following tables present the NOI of the Company's operating investments and net lease investments segments and the Company's proportionate share of the NOI generated by the joint ventures of its unconsolidated investments segment (dollars in thousands):

The Company's capital expenditures for its operating investments totaled $4.3 million and $17.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $11.3 million and $28.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company did not have capital expenditures for its other reportable segments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
As of September 30, 2024, the Company believes there are no material unrecorded contingencies that would affect its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Litigation and Claims
The Company may be involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. Although the Company is unable to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, any current legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
The Company's operators and managers may be involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of their business. The unfavorable resolution of any such actions, investigations or claims could, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect such operators' or managers' liquidity, financial condition or results of operations and their ability to satisfy their respective obligations to the Company, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

NORTHSTAR HEALTHCARE INCOME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has an accrued reserve of $0.6 million, inclusive of legal fees, relating to a resolution of claims against a manager of one of the Company's operating investments, for which the Company has indemnification obligations under the management agreement.
Environmental Matters
The Company follows a policy of monitoring its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist at its properties, the Company is not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to its properties that would have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Further, the Company is not aware of any material environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that it believes would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.
General Uninsured Losses
The Company obtains various types of insurance to mitigate the impact of professional liability, property, business interruption, liability, flood, windstorm, earthquake, environmental and terrorism related losses. The Company attempts to obtain appropriate policy terms, conditions, limits and deductibles considering the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice. Disruptions in insurance markets may increase the costs of coverage and result in the Company retaining more risk, to the extent it is more commercially reasonable to do so. In addition, there are also certain types of extraordinary losses, such as those due to acts of war or other events, that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable.
13. Subsequent Events
The following is a discussion of material events which have occurred subsequent to September 30, 2024 through the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.
Purchase and Sale Agreements
In October 2024, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell a property within the Rochester portfolio for a sales price of $31.5 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the purchase and sale agreement. The property is encumbered by a mortgage note payable with an outstanding principal balance of $16.9 million as of September 30, 2024. Completion of the transaction is expected in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including satisfactory due diligence; as a result, there is no assurance that the transaction will close on the terms anticipated or at all.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements" and the risk factors in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors." References to "we," "us," "our," or "NorthStar Healthcare" refer to NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.
Overview
We own a diversified portfolio of seniors housing properties, including independent living facilities, or ILFs, assisted living facilities, or ALFs, and memory care facilities, or MCFs, located throughout the United States.
We were formed in October 2010 as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations in February 2013. We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We conduct our operations so as to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
We raised $2.0 billion in total gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in our continuous, public offerings, including $232.6 million pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or our DRP, collectively referred to as our Offering.
The Internalization
From inception through October 21, 2022, we were externally managed by CNI NSHC Advisors, LLC or its predecessor, or the Former Advisor, an affiliate of NRF Holdco, LLC, or the Former Sponsor. The Former Advisor was responsible for managing our operations, subject to the supervision of our board of directors, pursuant to an advisory agreement. On October 21, 2022, we completed the internalization of our management function, or the Internalization. In connection with the Internalization, we agreed with the Former Advisor to terminate the advisory agreement.
Our Strategy
Our primary objective is to maximize value and generate liquidity for shareholders. The key elements of our strategy include:
•Grow the Operating Income Generated by Our Portfolio. We are focused on growing the net operating income generated by our properties, through active portfolio management and selectively deploying capital expenditures to improve occupancy and resident rates while managing expenses, in an effort to enhance the overall value of our assets.
•Pursue Disposition Opportunities that Maximize Value. We will pursue dispositions of assets and portfolios where we believe the disposition will achieve a desired return or strategic outcome, with the goal of maximizing value for shareholders overall.
Significant Developments
Transactions
•In September 2024, we completed the sale of our investment in Trilogy REIT Holdings, LLC, or the Trilogy Investment, pursuant to the previously disclosed membership interest purchase agreement, which resulted in net cash proceeds, after transaction costs, to us of $254.0 million.
•In October 2024, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell a property within our Rochester portfolio for a sales price of $31.5 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the purchase and sales agreement. The property is encumbered by a mortgage note payable with an outstanding principal balance of $16.9 million as of September 30, 2024. Completion of the transaction is expected in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including satisfactory due diligence; as a result, there is no assurance that the transaction will close on the terms anticipated or at all.
Updated Estimated Net Asset Value Per Share
On October 15, 2024, upon the recommendation of the audit committee of the board of directors, or the Audit Committee, the board of directors, including all of its independent directors, approved and established an estimated value per share of our common stock based on the estimated value of our assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2024, or the 2024 NAV Per Share. The 2024 NAV Per Share of $2.96 represents a year-over-year increase of $0.32 per share, or approximately 12%, compared to the previous estimated per share value of $2.64 as of June 30, 2023. The main factors impacting the 2024 NAV Per Share were as follows:
32
Table of Contents
•Strong supply and demand fundamentals across the industry, combined with our strategic capital investment in our properties, resulted in significant improvements in performance across our healthcare properties, driving an increase in estimated values.
•We completed the sale of the Trilogy Investment in September 2024 at an attractive valuation, resulting in net proceeds to us of $254.0 million, which was greater than the estimated value of the Trilogy Investment in connection with the estimated per share value as of June 30, 2023.
•The use of available cash to fund capital projects for our operating investments, along with our general and administrative expenses, partially offset the increase in the estimated value per share resulting from the improved operating performance.
The estimated value of our assets and liabilities is as of a specific date and is expected to fluctuate over time in response to further events. Further, as with any valuation methodology, the methodologies used to determine the estimated value per share are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may prove later to be inaccurate or incomplete.
The estimated value of our assets and liabilities was determined using the guidelines established by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives Practice Guideline 2013-01, Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs, except for the valuation of the Trilogy Investment that was sold on September 20, 2024 and was valued based on the net cash proceeds received from the sale. As a result, no attempt was made to value us as an enterprise, and no discounts were applied relating to general and administrative expenses, the characteristics of our leverage and other financial structures and potential closing costs associated with dispositions or other transactions. Refer to our Form 8-K filed on October 17, 2024 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information.
Liquidity Update
Inclusive of the net proceeds generated from the sale of our Trilogy Investment, as of November 7, 2024, we have approximately $343.8 million of unrestricted cash.
We will evaluate over the coming months how to use these proceeds to further our primary objective, which is to maximize value and generate liquidity for stockholders. In doing so, we are taking into consideration, among other factors, our current and projected liquidity needs, near-term debt maturities, leverage strategy, the potential impact on any liquidity event we may pursue in the future and potential additional special distributions to stockholders.
We have not announced or adopted a plan for liquidation and are not required to liquidate by any specified date. We do not have a stated term for a liquidity event, as we believe setting a finite date for a possible, but uncertain future liquidity transaction may result in actions that are not necessarily in the best interest or within the expectations of our shareholders.
We continue to monitor market conditions, performance and disposition or other transactional opportunities, with the goal of providing liquidity to stockholders at the earliest opportunity without compromising on the goal of maximizing value.
Market Update
Seniors Housing Fundamentals
Current market conditions impacting property-level performance are generally favorable. Average occupancy for the senior housing industry increased for the thirteenth consecutive quarter, to 86.5% for the third quarter of 2024, up 70 basis points from the previous quarter, and still remains below the pre-pandemic average of 87.1% in March 2020. The 80+ population, a key demographic for seniors housing, is expected to grow by 24% through 2028. Supply and demand fundamentals remained strong in the third quarter of 2024, with unit inventory growth of 1.1% year-over-year and the fewest senior housing units under construction since 2014. Access to capital and cost of capital, as well as construction costs, remain significant headwinds to senior housing development (sources: NIC MAP Vision 3Q2024 Market Fundamentals Report, NIC MAP Vision: December 2023).
Seniors Housing Transactions
Market conditions affecting transactions, including asset sales, have been challenging. Public and private capital markets have been affected by a general tightening of availability of credit (including the price, terms and conditions under which financing can be obtained), higher interest rates and a general decrease in liquidity in the healthcare lending markets, which resulted in higher capitalization rates, adversely impacting property values and limiting transaction activity. With the recent interest rate cuts in September 2024, and the positive market dynamics for seniors housing industry specifically, we are optimistic that we will begin to see increased transaction activity and more robust capital markets. If market conditions do improve as anticipated,

we believe the company is well-positioned to explore potential transactions. However, at this time, we cannot make any assurances that such transactions will be effected in any particular timeframe or at all.

Table of Contents
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the average occupancy for our operating investments improved by 2.1% and 1.7%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year,to 90.8% and 89.6%, respectively. The favorable senior housing market conditions and our investment of capital to enhance the facilities of our properties contributed to the increase in occupancy. With the properties approaching stabilized occupancy levels, the managers of our operating investments have been focused on implementing resident rate increases and generating higher revenues, which outpaced the impact of inflation on variable operating costs over the same period. While certain operating expenses remain elevated throughout 2024 to date, same store NOI continues to trend positively, increasing 28.4% and 18.8% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year.
Net Lease Investments
Beginning in February 2021, the operator of the four net lease properties in our Arbors portfolio has been unable to satisfy its obligations under its leases. In accordance with a forbearance and modification agreement entered into in March 2023, the operator remits rent based on the properties' available cash after satisfying property-level expenses.
Despite occupancy and resident rate improvements realized throughout 2024 to date, the portfolio's continued sub-optimal occupancy levels and rising operating expenses resulted in limited cash flow paid to us in accordance with the operator's forbearance agreement. We continue to monitor the operator's performance and cash flows closely, as well as evaluate potential options for this portfolio.
The following table presents the rental income, cash reserves used to service the debt obligations for our Arbors portfolio and average resident occupancy of the underlying properties (dollars in thousands):

Our investments include the following types of properties:
•Independent living facilities. ILFs are properties with central dining facilities that provide services that include security, housekeeping, nutrition and laundry services. ILFs are designed specifically for independent seniors who are able to live on their own, but desire the security and conveniences of community living. ILFs typically offer several services covered under a regular monthly fee. Fees at these communities are paid from private sources. As of September 30, 2024, we had 35 ILFs in our operating investments segment.
•Assisted living facilities.ALFs provide services that include minimal assistance for activities in daily living and permit residents to maintain some of their privacy and independence as they do not require constant supervision and assistance. Services may be bundled within one monthly fee or based on the care needs of the resident and usually include meals and dining, daily housekeeping, laundry, medical reminders and 24-hour availability of assistance. Revenues generated by ALFs primarily come from private pay sources, including private insurance, and government reimbursement programs, such as Medicaid, to a lesser extent. As of September 30, 2024, we had seven properties that are predominantly ALFs in our operating investments segment and four properties that are predominantly ALFs in our net lease investments segment.
•Memory care facilities.MCFs offer specialized options for seniors with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. These facilities offer dedicated care and specialized programming for various conditions relating to memory loss in a secured environment. Residents require a higher level of care and more assistance with activities of daily living than in ALFs. Therefore, these facilities have staff available 24 hours a day to respond to the unique needs of their residents. Fees at these communities are paid primarily from private sources and, to a lesser extent, government reimbursement, such as Medicaid. As of September 30, 2024, we had two properties that are predominantly MCFs in our operating investments segment.

Operating Investments
Our operating properties allow us to participate in the risks and rewards of the operations of the facilities as compared to receiving only contractual rent under a net lease. We engage independent managers to operate these facilities pursuant to management agreements, including procuring supplies, hiring and training all employees, entering into all third-party contracts for the benefit of the property, including resident/patient agreements, complying with laws and regulations, including but not limited to healthcare laws, and providing resident care and services, in exchange for a management fee. As a result, we must rely on our managers' personnel, expertise, technical resources and information systems, risk management processes, proprietary information, good faith and judgment to manage our operating properties efficiently and effectively. We also rely on our managers to set appropriate resident fees, to provide accurate property-level financial results in a timely manner and otherwise operate our seniors housing facilities in compliance with the terms of our management agreements and all applicable laws and regulations.
As of September 30, 2024, we had 44 senior housing facilities in our operating investments segment with four different managers. The following presents the facilities by property type and geographic location as of September 30, 2024:

Our management agreements generally provide for monthly management fees which are calculated based on various performance measures, including revenue, net operating income and other objective financial metrics. We are also required to reimburse our managers for expenses incurred in the operation of the properties, as well as to indemnify our managers in connection with potential claims and liabilities arising out of the operation of the properties. Our management agreements are terminable after a stated term with certain renewal rights, though we have the ability to terminate earlier upon certain events with or without the payment of a fee.

(1)Affiliates of Watermark also own a 3% non-controlling interest in the Rochester and Aqua portfolios, which may impact various rights and economics under the management agreements.
(2)Property count excludes the properties within the Rochester Sub-Portfolio (as defined in "-Results of Operations").
(3)The manager of our Pacific Northwest portfolio, formerly known as the Avamere portfolio, is Arete Living, formerly known as Avamere Heath Services.
Certain of our properties in our operating investments segment are held through joint ventures, where an affiliate of the manager owns a 3% non-controlling interest, primarily to create alignment and incentives for the manager to perform. In addition, we own a 20% interest in Solstice Senior Living, LLC, or Solstice, a management platform formed with Integral Senior Living, or ISL,the manager of one of our operating investments, the Winterfell portfolio, which gives us additional rights and minority protections.
Net Lease Investments
As of September 30, 2024, we had four ALFs located in New York operated by Arcadia Management under net leases. These leases obligate Arcadia to pay a fixed rental amount and pay all property-level expenses, with a lease term that expires in August 2029. However, Arcadia has been unable to satisfy its obligations under its leases since February 2021, and instead remits rent and pays property-level expenses based on its available cash. On March 27, 2023, we entered into a forbearance agreement with Arcadia, pursuant to which we are entitled to receive all cash flow in excess of permitted expenses, and are required to fund any operating deficits, through 2025, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. As a result, we participate in the risks and rewards of this portfolio similar to our operating properties. If Arcadia performs under the forbearance agreement, it will be entitled to forgiveness of accrued and unpaid rent during the forbearance period and a potential incentive fee tied to disposition of the portfolio above a certain value.
We continue to monitor Arcadia's performance and cash flows closely, as well as evaluate potential options for this portfolio.
Unconsolidated Investments
Until September 20, 2024, we owned a 24.0% minority interest in the Trilogy Investment, which indirectly owns 126 integrated senior health campuses, providing services associated with ILFs, ALFs, MFCs and skilled nursing facilities, across the Midwest. On September 20, 2024, we completed the sale of our Trilogy Investment, which generated net proceeds to us of $254.0 million.
As of September 30, 2024, our remaining unconsolidated investment is our 20.0% minority interest in Solstice, the management platform formed with ISL to exclusively manage one of our operating investments, the Winterfell portfolio.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates and assumptions that involve the exercise of judgment and that affect
38
Table of Contents
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Certain accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's subjective and complex judgments, and for which the impact of changes in estimates and assumptions could have a material effect on our financial statements. We believe that all of the decisions and assessments upon which our financial statements are based were reasonable at the time made, based upon information available to us at that time.
For a summary of our accounting policies, refer to Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements."
Impairment
We believe impairment to be a critical accounting estimate based on the nature of our operations and/or because it requires significant management judgment and assumptions. Our investments are reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary, to assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our investments may be impaired or that carrying value may not be recoverable. In conducting these reviews, we consider macroeconomic factors, including healthcare sector conditions, together with asset and market specific circumstances, among other factors. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the estimated fair value. Fair values can be estimated based upon the income capitalization approach, using net operating income and applying indicative capitalization and discount rates or sales comparison approach, using what other purchasers and sellers in the market have agreed to as price for comparable investments.
Operating Investments and Net Lease Investments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded impairment losses on our operating real estate totaling $3.7 million, including impairment losses of $3.0 million for our Oak Cottage property as a result of lower operating margins and projected future cash flows, $0.4 million of impairment losses for property damage sustained by facilities within our Winterfell and Aqua portfolios and impairment losses of $0.3 million to reflect the market value of land parcels within our Rochester portfolio.
Accumulated impairment losses totaled $166.2 million for operating real estate that we continue to hold as of September 30, 2024. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information regarding impairment recorded in prior years.
Unconsolidated Investments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we did not record impairment on our investments in unconsolidated ventures.

Rochester Sub-Portfolio
In October 2023, as a result of the payment default in July 2023 on seven individual mortgage notes payable, or the Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan, Fannie Mae, as the lender, filed a complaint seeking the appointment of a receiver and foreclosure on the seven underlying healthcare real estate properties, or the Rochester Sub-Portfolio, and to enforce its rights in its collateral under the loan documents. On October 30, 2023, the properties underlying the Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan were placed into a receivership. Although we continue to have legal ownership of the Rochester Sub-Portfolio until transferred to Fannie Mae or its designee, the receiver now has effective control of the properties and, as of the date of the receivership order, we discontinued recognizing revenues and expenses related to the Rochester Sub-Portfolio and derecognized the properties and related assets from our financial statements. However, until legal ownership of the Rochester Sub-Portfolio is transferred and the associated debt extinguished, we continue to recognize liabilities associated with the Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan. As of September 30, 2024, we continue to own all of the properties in the Rochester Sub-Portfolio.
We discontinued recognizing property revenues and expenses for the Rochester Sub-Portfolio as of October 30, 2023, the date of the receivership order. As a result, we did not recognize property revenues and expenses for the Rochester Sub-Portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to a full three and nine months of activity presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

On a same store basis, property and other revenues increased $4.3 million and $12.2 million during the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. Revenues generated by our operating properties increased as a result of improved occupancy and higher market rates for new residents and in-place rates for existing residents. Other revenue, which consists of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents increased during the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2024 as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year due to higher cash balances in our money market accounts.

Interest expense on floating-rate debt increased primarily due to a mortgage payable secured by properties within Aqua portfolio converting to a floating-rate loan from a lower yielding fixed-rate loan in February 2024.
Interest expense for the Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan increased during the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year due toits floating interest rate and the recognition of default interest, which will continue to accrue until the loan is extinguished.
Transaction Costs
During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2024, transaction costs consisted primarily of legal and professional fees incurred for corporate strategic initiatives. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, transaction costs consisted primarily of legal and professional fees incurred for investment activity and costs incurred in connection with the Internalization and the transition of services and systems previously provided by the Former Advisor.
General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate cost savings of $0.1 million and $1.2 million were realized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year, primarily due to a reduction in corporate insurance premiums and other professional services.

On a same store basis, depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.4 million and $1.7 million during the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year,primarily as a result of additional capital improvements completed at the facilities within our Winterfell portfolio. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense at our net lease properties as a result of impairments recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023, which reduced building depreciation expense for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2024.
Impairment Loss
For the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2024, impairment losses on operating real estate totaled $0.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Refer to "-Impairment" for additional discussion.
For the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2023, we recorded impairment losses on our operating real estate totaling $38.7 million. In addition, we recorded impairment losses on our investment in the Espresso joint venture totaling $4.7 million.
Other Income (Expense), Net
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, other income, net consisted primarily of capital expenditure reimbursements from the state of Oregon's Long-Term Care Capital Improvement and Emergency Preparedness Program received and recognized by facilities within our Pacific Northwest portfolio (formerly known as the Avamere portfolio).
Gain (Loss) on Investments and Other
In September 2024, in connection with the sale of our Trilogy Investment, we recognized a gain totaling $128.6 million.

Table of Contents
In June 2023, in connection with the sale of two investments in unconsolidated ventures, we realized a loss totaling $1.3 million. In addition, as a result of the sale, we reclassified the accumulated foreign currency losses, totaling $3.3 million, previously recorded through other comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of equity to realized gain (loss) on investments and other.

For the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2024, equity in earnings (losses) related to our Trilogy Investment represent our proportionate share of earnings through the date of the sale of our ownership interest on September 20, 2024.
On June 30, 2023, we elected the fair value option to account for our investment in the Espresso joint venture, which resulted in no equity in earnings (losses) recorded subsequent to the accounting policy election.
We did not receive any distributions from our unconsolidated ventures during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $24.1 millionreceived during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which were primarily from sales transactions in the Espresso joint venture.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We consider certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Funds from Operations, or FFO, Modified Funds from Operations, or MFFO, and NOI, to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not equivalent or an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flow provided by operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the U.S. GAAP methodology in evaluating our operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciable property, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, impairment on depreciable property owned directly or indirectly and after adjustments for unconsolidated ventures.
Due to certain of the unique features of publicly-registered, non-traded REITs, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives, or IPA, an industry trade group, standardized a performance measure known as MFFO and recommends the use of MFFO for such REITs. Management believes MFFO is a useful performance measure to evaluate our business and further believes it is important to disclose MFFO in order to be consistent with the IPA recommendation and other non-traded REITs. Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, nor any other regulatory body has approved the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate MFFO. In the future, the SEC or another regulatory body may decide to standardize permitted adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we may need to adjust our calculation and characterization of MFFO.
We define MFFO in accordance with the concepts established by the IPA. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not calculate MFFO using the same method MFFO is calculated using FFO. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company's operating performance. The IPA's definition of MFFO excludes from FFO the following items:
•acquisition fees and expenses;
43
Table of Contents
•non-cash amounts related to straight-line rent and the amortization of above or below market and in-place intangible lease assets and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from an accrual basis of accounting under U.S. GAAP to a cash basis of accounting);
•amortization of a premium and accretion of a discount on debt investments;
•non-recurring impairment of real estate-related investments that meet the specified criteria identified in the rules and regulations of the SEC;
•realized gains (losses) from the early extinguishment of debt;
•realized gains (losses) on the extinguishment or sales of hedges, foreign exchange, securities and other derivative holdings except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our business;
•unrealized gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on real estate securities, including CMBS and other securities, interest rate swaps and other derivatives not deemed hedges and foreign exchange holdings;
•unrealized gains (losses) from the consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting;
•adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; and
•adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis as above.
MFFO does have certain limitations. For instance, realized gains (losses) from acquisitions and dispositions and other adjustments listed above are not reported in MFFO, even though such realized gains (losses) and other adjustments could affect our operating performance and cash available for distribution. Any mark-to-market or fair value adjustments may be based on many factors, including current operational or individual property issues or general market or overall industry conditions. Investors should note that while impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of MFFO, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flow and the relatively limited term of a non-traded REIT's anticipated operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges through operational net revenues or cash flow prior to any liquidity event. MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value, since impairment is taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO. In addition, MFFO may not be a useful measure of our operating performance or as a comparable measure to other typical non-traded REITs if we do not continue to operate in a similar manner to other non-traded REITs.

Net Operating Income
We believe NOI provides useful information to stockholders and provides our management with a performance measure to compare our operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies between periods on a consistent basis. We define NOI as property and other revenues, less property operating expenses.

For additional information regarding our operating investments segment, refer to "- Our Investments" above and for financial information refer to Note 11, "Segment Reporting" in our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements."
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our current principal liquidity needs are to fund: (i) operating expenses, including corporate general and administrative expenses; (ii) principal and interest payments on our borrowings and other commitments; and (iii) capital expenditures.
Our current primary sources of liquidity include the following: (i) cash on hand; (ii) proceeds that may be generated from investment sales and realizations; and (iii) cash flow generated by our investments.
As of November 7, 2024, we had approximately $343.8 million of unrestricted cash and currently believe that our capital resources are sufficient to meet our capital needs for the following 12 months.
Cash From Operations
We primarily generate cash flow from operations through net operating income from our operating properties and rental income from our net lease properties. Net cash provided by operating activities was $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
We are exposed to various operational risks, including rising labor costs, inflationary pressures and elevated interest rates, at substantially all of our properties. We expect that these factors will continue to materially impact our cash flow generated by our investments.
Borrowings
We typically have financed our investments with medium to long-term, non-recourse mortgage loans, though our borrowing levels and terms vary depending upon the nature of the assets and the related financing.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we paid $13.3 million and $26.1 million in recurring principal and interest payments, respectively, on borrowings. Excluding the Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan, we had $780.0 million of consolidated asset-level borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2024.
We have $670.2 million of borrowings that mature in 2025, including $573.5 million of borrowings collateralized by our Winterfell portfolio. We may be unable to extend or refinance these borrowings without a significant pay down of existing loan balances. Our ability to refinance these borrowings and/or sell assets will be significantly impacted by market conditions, over which we have no control. Further, given the nature of our assets and the materiality of this portfolio, we may not be able to respond quickly to changes in market conditions. Even if we are able to extend or refinance these borrowings, it will likely be at a significantly higher interest rate.
46
Table of Contents
Our charter limits us from incurring borrowings that would exceed 300.0% of our net assets. We cannot exceed this limit unless any excess in borrowing over such level is approved by a majority of our independent directors. We would need to disclose any such approval to our stockholders in our next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess. An approximation of this leverage limitation is 75.0% of our assets, other than intangibles, before deducting loan loss reserves, other non-cash reserves and depreciation. As of September 30, 2024, our leverage was 54.6% of our assets, other than intangibles, before deducting non-cash reserves and depreciation.
For additional information regarding our borrowings, including principal repayments, timing of maturities and loans currently in default, refer to Item 3. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and Note 5, "Borrowings" in our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements."
Capital Expenditures Activities
We are responsible for capital expenditures for our operating properties and may also fund capital expenditures for our net lease properties. We have made significant investments in capital expenditures to increase operating income and enhance the overall value of certain properties and in order to maintain market position, functional and operating standards. We will continue to invest going forward, although we expect aggregate spending to decrease in the near-term compared to 2023 and prior years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash used for capital expenditures at our investments totaled $11.3 million.
Realization and Disposition of Investments
We will pursue dispositions of assets and portfolios where we believe the disposition will achieve a desired return or strategic outcome, improve our liquidity position and generate value for shareholders. We will continue to monitor the interest rate environment and related impact on the capital markets and transaction activity, so we are well positioned to execute on our disposition strategy as and when compelling opportunities become available.
On September 20, 2024, we completed the sale of our Trilogy Investment to affiliates of American Healthcare REIT, Inc., or AHR, in accordance with the Option Agreement, which resulted in net cash proceeds, after transaction costs, to us of $254.0 million.
Distributions
To continue to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually dividends equal to at least 90% of our taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to stockholders. We have generated net operating losses for tax purposes and, accordingly, are currently not required to make distributions to our stockholders to qualify as a REIT. Refer to "-Distributions Declared and Paid" and "-Liquidity Update" for further information regarding our distributions.
Based on the current forecasted cash flow of our investments and cash needs to operate our business, we do not anticipate paying recurring dividends. Instead, the board of directors will evaluate special distributions in connection with any sales and other realizations of investments on a case-by-case basis based on, among other factors, current and projected liquidity needs.
Share Repurchases
We adopted a share repurchase program effective August 7, 2012, which enabled stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances and could be amended, suspended, or terminated at any time. On April 7, 2020, our board of directors suspended all repurchases under our existing share repurchase program effective April 30, 2020 in order to preserve capital and liquidity. We do not currently anticipate resuming the share repurchase program. If we have sufficient capital available, at this stage in our life cycle, we believe that returning capital to stockholders through special distributions, rather than repurchases, is a better use of that capital.

Table of Contents
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities improved from $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Increases in occupancy and rates at our operating investments resulted in higher rent and resident fees collected and the Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan default in July 2023 resulted in lower cash interest payments in the current period. We did not receive any distributions from unconsolidated investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $10.6 million received and classified as operating cash flows in the corresponding period of last year.
Investing Activities
Our cash flows from investing activities are primarily proceeds from investment dispositions, including distributions received from our investments in unconsolidated investments that have been classified as investing cash flows, net of any capital expenditures. We continue to invest capital into our operating portfolios in order to maintain market position and enhance overall asset value, although we expect aggregate spending to decrease in the near-term as compared to 2023 and 2022. Net cash provided by investing activities increased from $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $255.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the net proceeds generated from the sale of our Trilogy Investment.
Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities were primarily principal amortization and repayments of our mortgage notes payable, which totaled $24.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and includes the repayment of a $10.9 million mortgage note for a property sold within our Rochester Portfolio. Mortgage principal amortization totaled $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2024, we are not dependent on the use of any off-balance sheet financing arrangements for liquidity. We have made investments in unconsolidated ventures. Refer to Note 4, "Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures" in Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements." for a discussion of such unconsolidated ventures in our consolidated financial statements. In each case, our exposure to loss is limited to the carrying value of our investment.
Distributions Declared and Paid
From inception through September 30, 2024, we declared $530.9 million in distributions and generated cumulative FFO of $202.0 million. From April 5, 2013, the date of our first investment, through December 31, 2017, we paid monthly distributions in an amount that was equivalent to an annualized distribution of $0.675 per share of our common stock. In order to better align the distribution with anticipated cash flows from operations, beginning in January 1, 2018 through January 31, 2019, we paid monthly distributions in an amount that was equivalent to an annualized distribution of $0.3375 per share of our common stock. Effective February 1, 2019, our board of directors stopped recurring distributions in order to preserve capital and liquidity. In May 2022, we paid a special distribution in the amount of $0.50 per share of our common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we did not declare any distributions to stockholders.
While we do not anticipate recurring dividends in the near future, in light of the cash flow generated by our investments as compared to our capital expenditure needs and debt service obligations, our management and board of directors will evaluate special distributions in connection with asset sales and other realizations of our investments on a case-by-case basis based on, among other factors, current and projected liquidity needs, opportunities for investment in our assets (such as capital expenditure and de-levering opportunities) and other strategic initiatives.
To the extent distributions are paid from sources other than FFO, the ownership interest of our public stockholders may be diluted. Future distributions declared and paid may exceed FFO and cash flow provided by operations. FFO, as defined, may not reflect actual cash available for distributions.
Related Party Arrangements
Former Advisor
In connection with the Internalization, on October 21, 2022, the advisory agreement was terminated and, along with the Operating Partnership and the Former Advisor, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement, or TSA, to facilitate an orderly transition of the management of our operations. As of December 31, 2023, the TSA was effectively terminated.

Prior to the Internalization, the Former Advisor was responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying, acquiring, originating and asset managing investments on our behalf. For such services, to the extent permitted by law and regulations, the Former Advisor received fees and reimbursements from us. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Former Advisor could defer or waive fees in its discretion.
Investments in Joint Ventures
Solstice, the manager of our Winterfell portfolio, is a joint venture between affiliates of ISL, which owns 80.0%, and us, which owns 20.0%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized property management fee expense of $5.4 million payable to Solstice related to the Winterfell portfolio.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The principal market risks affecting us are interest rate risk and inflation risk. These risks are dependent on various factors beyond our control, including monetary and fiscal policies, domestic and international economic conditions and political considerations. Our market risk sensitive assets, liabilities and related derivative positions (if any) are held for investment and not for trading purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
We have exposure to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we have generally sought long-term debt financing on a fixed-rate basis. However, certain of our borrowings are subject to variable-rate interest.

(1)Represents the weighted average interest rate effective as of September 30, 2024.
(2)The Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan is comprised of seven individual floating-rate mortgage notes payable in payment default, cross-collateralized and subject to cross-default, five ILFs and two ALFs, which have been placed into a receivership.
When borrowing at variable rates, we seek the lowest margins available and evaluate hedging opportunities. The interest rate on our floating-rate borrowings is a fixed spread over an index such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, and typically reprices every 30 days. For our floating-rate borrowings, we have entered into interest rate caps that involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. As of September 30, 2024, excluding the Rochester Sub-Portfolio Loan, one of our two floating-rate loans is hedged with a contract in place through the third quarter of 2025 and had an effectively capped interest rate of 5.6%. Based on market interest rates of September 30, 2024, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase on the interest rate for our floating-rate loan without an interest rate cap in place would increase our interest expense by $0.3 million.
Increases in market interest rates typically result in a decrease in the fair value of fixed-rate borrowings, while decreases in market interest rates typically result in an increase in the fair value of fixed-rate borrowings. While changes in market interest rates affect the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings, these changes do not affect the interest expense associated with our fixed-rate borrowings. Therefore, interest rate risk does not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate borrowings until their maturity or earlier prepayment and refinancing. If we seek to refinance our fixed-rate borrowings, whether at maturity or otherwise, and interest rates have risen, our future earnings and cash flows could be adversely affected by additional borrowing costs. Conversely, lower interest rates at the time of refinancing may reduce our overall borrowing costs. Further, the fair value of the real estate collateral for our borrowings may be negatively impacted by rising interest rates.
Inflation Risk
Many of our costs are subject to inflationary pressures. These include labor, repairs and maintenance, food costs, utilities, insurance and other operating costs. Higher rates of inflation affecting the economy may substantially affect the operating margins of our investments. While our managers have an ability to partially offset cost inflation by increasing the rates charged to residents, this ability is often limited by competitive conditions, affordability and timing, which may lag behind cost volatility. Therefore, there can be no assurance that cost increases can be offset by increased rates charged to residents in real time or that increased rates will not result in occupancy declines.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information relating to us and our subsidiaries required to be disclosed in reports that are filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management conducted an evaluation as required under Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).
Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company's periodic reports.
Part II-Other Information.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We may be involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. Although we are unable to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, in the opinion of management, any current legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
If we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow provided by operations, we will have less cash available for investments and your overall return may be reduced.
Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source, including offering proceeds, borrowings or sales of assets or we may make distributions in the form of taxable stock dividends. We have not established a limit on the amount of proceeds we may use to fund distributions. We have funded distributions in the past in excess of our cash flow from operations and may continue to do so in the future. If we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow provided by operations, such as using the proceeds of asset sales, our book value may be negatively impacted and the value of our shares will be reduced. In May 2022, we paid a special distribution to stockholders of $0.50 per share of common stock using proceeds from asset sales and not cash flow provided by operations. We did not declare any distributions during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
We adopted a share repurchase program in 2012, which enabled shareholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances and could be amended, suspended and terminated by our board of directors at any time in their sole discretion (subject to certain notice requirements set forth in the share repurchase program). On April 7, 2020, in accordance with the terms of our share repurchase program, our board of directors suspended all repurchases under the share repurchase program effective April 30, 2020 in order to preserve capital and liquidity and does not currently anticipate resuming the share repurchase program.
We did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
