Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Debt | Debt Bank Line of Credit and Term Loan On May 23, 2019, the Company executed a $2.5 billion unsecured revolving line of credit facility, with a maturity date of May 23, 2023 and two six-month extension options, subject to certain customary conditions. Also in May 2019, the Company entered into a $250 million unsecured term loan facility, with a maturity date of May 23, 2024 (the “2019 Term Loan”). In July 2021, the Company repaid the $250 million 2019 Term Loan; therefore, at September 30, 2021, there was no outstanding balance. The outstanding balance on the 2019 Term Loan at December 31, 2020 was $250 million. In September 2021, the Company executed an amended and restated unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility”) to increase total revolving commitments from $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion and extend the maturity date to January 20, 2026. This maturity date may be further extended pursuant to two six-month extension options, subject to certain customary conditions. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility accrue interest at the base rate or LIBOR (or other applicable rate with respect to non-dollar borrowings) plus a margin that depends on the credit ratings of the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt. The Company also pays a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends on its credit ratings. Based on the Company’s credit ratings at September 30, 2021, the margin on the Revolving Facility was 0.78% and the facility fee was 0.15%. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility includes a feature that allows the Company to increase the borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $750 million, subject to securing additional commitments. Further, the Revolving Facility includes customary LIBOR replacement language, including, but not limited to, the use of rates based on the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Revolving Facility also includes a sustainability-linked pricing component whereby the applicable margin may be reduced by up to 0.025% based on the Company’s achievement of specified sustainability-linked metrics, subject to certain conditions. The Revolving Facility also contains certain financial restrictions and other customary requirements, including financial covenants and cross-default provisions to other indebtedness. Among other things, these covenants, using terms defined in the agreement: (i) limit the ratio of Enterprise Total Indebtedness to Enterprise Gross Asset Value to 60%; (ii) limit the ratio of Enterprise Secured Debt to Enterprise Gross Asset Value to 40%; (iii) limit the ratio of Enterprise Unsecured Debt to Enterprise Unencumbered Asset Value to 60%; (iv) require a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.5 times; and (v) require a minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $7.7 billion. The Company believes it was in compliance with each of these covenants at September 30, 2021. Commercial Paper Program In September 2019, the Company established an unsecured commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”). Under the terms of the Commercial Paper Program, the Company may issue, from time to time, unsecured short-term debt securities with varying maturities. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program may be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed from time to time. During 2021, the Company increased the maximum aggregate face or principal amount that can be outstanding at any one time from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion. Amounts borrowed under the Commercial Paper Program will be sold on terms that are customary for the U.S. commercial paper market and will be at least equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Company uses its Revolving Facility as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of unsecured short-term debt securities issued under the Commercial Paper Program. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $1.02 billion of securities outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program, with original maturities of approximately one month and a weighted average interest rate of 0.22%. At December 31, 2020, the Company had $130 million of securities outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program, with original maturities of approximately one month and a weighted average interest rate of 0.30%. Senior Unsecured Notes At September 30, 2021, the Company had senior unsecured notes outstanding with an aggregate principal balance of $4.2 billion. The senior unsecured notes contain certain covenants including limitations on debt, maintenance of unencumbered assets, cross-acceleration provisions and other customary terms. The Company believes it was in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2021. The following table summarizes the Company’s senior unsecured notes repurchases and redemptions during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

Mortgage Debt At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $355 million and $217 million, respectively, in aggregate principal of mortgage debt outstanding (excluding mortgage debt on assets held for sale and discontinued operations), which was secured by 19 and 6 healthcare facilities, respectively, with an aggregate carrying value of $835 million and $517 million, respectively. Mortgage debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments, is collateralized by real estate assets, and is non-recourse. Mortgage debt typically restricts transfer of the encumbered assets, prohibits additional liens, restricts prepayment, requires payment of real estate taxes, requires maintenance of the assets in good condition, requires insurance on the assets, and includes conditions to obtain lender consent to enter into or terminate material leases. Some of the mortgage debt may require tenants or operators to maintain compliance with the applicable leases or operating agreements of such real estate assets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company made aggregate principal repayments of mortgage debt of $1 million and $4 million, respectively (excluding mortgage debt on assets held for sale and discontinued operations). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company made aggregate principal repayments of mortgage debt of $1 million and $4 million, respectively (excluding mortgage debt on assets held for sale and discontinued operations). In April 2021, in conjunction with the acquisition of the MOB Portfolio, the Company originated $142 million of secured mortgage debt (see Note 4) that matures in May 2026 and has a weighted average effective interest rate of 2.68% as of September 30, 2021.
