CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts may be forward-looking statements. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, property performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Likewise, all of our statements regarding anticipated growth in our funds from operations and anticipated market conditions, demographics and results of operations are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans, expectations or intentions.
 
These forward-looking statements reflect the views of our management regarding current expectations and projections about future events and are based on currently available information. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
 
general economic conditions;

adverse economic or real estate developments, either nationally or in the markets where our properties are located;

our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;

fluctuations in interest rates and increased operating costs;

the availability, terms and deployment of debt and equity capital, including our unsecured revolving credit facility;

our ability to make distributions on our common shares;

general volatility of the market price of our common shares;

our increased vulnerability economically due to the concentration of our investments in healthcare properties;

our geographic concentrations in Texas and Kentucky cause us to be particularly exposed to downturns in these local economies or other changes in local real estate market conditions;

changes in our business or strategy;

our dependence upon key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed;

our ability to identify, hire and retain highly qualified personnel in the future;

the degree and nature of our competition;

changes in governmental regulations, tax rates and similar matters;
 
defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants;

decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;
 
difficulties in identifying healthcare properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;

competition for investment opportunities;

our failure to successfully develop, integrate, and operate acquired properties and operations, including our ability to integrate the properties in the CHI Portfolio (as defined herein);

the impact of our investment in joint ventures;

the financial condition and liquidity of, or disputes with, any joint venture and development partners with whom we may make co-investments in the future;

cybersecurity incidents could disrupt our business and result in the compromise of confidential information;
 
our ability to operate as a public company;

changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP);
 
lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance;
 
other factors affecting the real estate industry generally;
 
our failure to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (or REIT) for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
 
limitations imposed on our business and our ability to satisfy complex rules in order for us to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
 
changes in governmental regulations or interpretations thereof, such as real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates and taxation of REITs; and
 
factors that may materially adversely affect us, or the per share trading price of our common shares, including:
 
higher market interest rates;
the number of our common shares available for future issuance or sale;
our issuance of equity securities or the perception that such issuance might occur;
future debt;
failure of securities analysts to publish research or reports about us or our industry; and
securities analysts’ downgrade of our common shares or the healthcare-related real estate sector.
 
While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this report, except as required by applicable law. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that are based on information currently available to us or the third parties making the forward-looking statements. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance or transactions, see Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of this report, Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the “Annual Report”), and Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2016 (the “First Quarterly Report”).

As of June 30, 2016, the Trust was authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (“common shares”).

The Trust contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to Physicians Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Trust’s operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership and wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Trust, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, controls the Operating Partnership and consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.
 
The Trust is a self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed primarily to acquire, selectively develop, own, and manage healthcare properties that are leased to physicians, hospitals, and healthcare delivery systems.

The Trust contributed the net proceeds of this offering to its Operating Partnership in exchange for 21,275,000 OP Units, and its Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of the public offering to repay borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate and working capital purposes and funding acquisitions.

On April 11, 2016, the Trust completed a follow-on public offering of 25,875,000 common shares of beneficial interest, including 3,375,000 common shares issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, resulting in net proceeds to it of approximately $442.8 million.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016.

GAAP requires the Trust to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). ASC 810 broadly defines a VIE as an entity in which either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Trust identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Trust consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that the Trust is the VIE’s primary beneficiary. The Trust may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the

entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary. The Trust performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.
 
For property holding entities not determined to be VIEs, the Trust consolidates such entities in which the Trust or the Operating Partnership owns 100% of the equity or has a controlling financial interest evidenced by ownership of a majority voting interest. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. For entities in which the Trust owns less than 100% of the equity interest, the Trust consolidates the property if it has the direct or indirect ability to control the entities’ activities based upon the terms of the respective entities’ ownership agreements. For these entities, the Trust records a noncontrolling interest representing equity held by noncontrolling interests.
 
Noncontrolling Interests
 
The Trust presents the portion of any equity it does not own in entities that it controls (and thus consolidates) as noncontrolling interests and classifies such interests as a component of consolidated equity, separate from the Trust’s total shareholders’ equity, on the consolidated balance sheets.
 
Operating Partnership: Net income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests based on their respective ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. The ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the number of OP Units held by the noncontrolling interests by the total OP Units held by the noncontrolling interests and the Trust. Issuance of additional Common Shares and OP Units changes the ownership interests of both the noncontrolling interests and the Trust. Such transactions and the related proceeds are treated as capital transactions.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Operating Partnership partially funded a property acquisition by issuing an aggregate of 174,085 OP Units valued at approximately $2.9 million. The acquisition had a total purchase price of approximately $8.5 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Operating Partnership funded the acquisition of the remaining non-controlling interest on a property by issuing an aggregate of 217,549 OP Units valued at approximately $4.0 million.
 
Noncontrolling interests in the Trust represent OP Units held by the Predecessor’s prior investors and other investors. As of June 30, 2016, the Trust held a 97.2% interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Trust consolidates the financial position and results of operation of the Operating Partnership.
 
Holders of OP Units may not transfer their OP Units without the Trust’s prior written consent, as general partner of the Operating Partnership. Beginning on the first anniversary of the issuance of OP Units, OP Unit holders may tender their OP Units for redemption by the Operating Partnership in exchange for cash equal to the market price of the Trust’s common shares at the time of redemption or for unregistered common shares on a one-for-one basis. Such selection to pay cash or issue common shares to satisfy an OP Unit holder’s redemption request is solely within the control of the Trust. Accordingly, the Trust presents the OP Units of the Operating Partnership held by the Predecessor’s prior investors and other investors as noncontrolling interests within equity in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
Partially Owned Properties: The Trust reflects noncontrolling interests in partially owned properties on the balance sheet for the portion of properties consolidated by the Trust that are not wholly owned by the Trust. The earnings or losses from those properties attributable to the noncontrolling interests are reflected as “net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests - partially owned properties” in the consolidated statements of income.
 
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Operating Partnership and Partially Owned Properties
 
On February 5, 2015, the Trust entered into a Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) which provides for the designation and issuance of the newly designated Series A Participating Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership (“Series A Preferred Units”). Series A Preferred Units have priority over all other partnership interests of the Operating Partnership with respect to distributions and liquidation. Holders of Series A Preferred Units are entitled to a 5% cumulative return and upon redemption, the receipt of one common share and $200. The holders of the Series A Preferred Units have agreed not to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their Series A Preferred Units prior to one year from the issuance date. In addition, Series A Preferred Units are redeemable at the option of the holder, and redemption obligations may be satisfied, at the Trust’s option, in cash or registered common shares. Instruments that require settlement in registered common shares may not be classified in permanent equity as it is not always completely within an issuer’s control to deliver registered common shares. Due to the redemption provision, which is outside of the control of the Trust, the Trust classifies the investment in the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheet. The Trust records the

8

Table of Contents

carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests at the greater of the carrying value or redemption value. The fair value of the embedded derivative is $6.2 million and is included on the Trust’s consolidated balance sheets in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Effective March 1, 2015, the Trust received a $5 million equity investment from a third party. This investment earns a 15% cumulative preferred return. At any point subsequent to the third anniversary of the investment, the holder can require the Trust to redeem the instrument at a price for which the investor will realize a 15% internal rate of return. Due to the redemption provision, which is outside of the control of the Trust, the Trust classifies the investment in the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheet. The Trust records the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests at the greater of the carrying value or redemption value.

On April 1, 2016, 44,685 Series A Preferred Units issued in conjunction with the Minnetonka MOB acquisition were redeemed for a total value of $9.8 million. The fair value of the embedded derivative associated with the previously outstanding Series A Preferred Units was $2.7 million.

Dividends and Distributions
 
On June 23, 2016, the Trust announced that its Board of Trustees authorized and the Trust declared a cash dividend of $0.225 per common share for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2016. The distribution was paid on July 18, 2016 to common shareholders and OP Unit holders of record as of the close of business on July 5, 2016.
 
Purchase of Investment Properties
 
A property acquired not subject to an existing lease is treated as an asset acquisition and recorded at its purchase price, inclusive of acquisition costs, allocated between the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. A property acquired with an existing lease is accounted for as a business combination pursuant to the acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identified intangible assets and liabilities, are recorded at fair value.
 
The determination of fair value involves the use of significant judgment and estimation. The Trust makes estimates of the fair value of the tangible and intangible acquired assets and assumed liabilities using information obtained from multiple sources as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence and may include the assistance of a third party appraiser. The Trust estimates the fair value of buildings acquired on an “as-if-vacant” basis and depreciates the building value over the estimated remaining life of the building. The Trust determines the allocated value of other fixed assets, such as site improvements, based upon the replacement cost and depreciates such value over the assets’ estimated remaining useful lives as determined at the applicable acquisition date. The fair value of land is determined either by considering the sales prices of similar properties in recent transactions or based on internal analyses of recently acquired and existing comparable properties within the Trust’s portfolio.
 
In recognizing identified intangible assets and liabilities in connection with a business combination, the value of above-or-below market leases is estimated based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflected the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the leases and management’s estimate of market lease rates measured over a period equal to the estimated remaining term of the lease. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease intangibles are amortized as a reduction or addition to rental income over the estimated remaining term of the respective leases plus the term of any renewal options that the lessee would be economically compelled to exercise.
 
In determining the value of in-place leases, management considers current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases in arriving at an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up period from vacant to existing occupancy. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods, and costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal, and other related costs based on current market demand. The values assigned to in-place leases are amortized to amortization expense over the estimated remaining term of the lease. If a lease terminates prior to its scheduled expiration, all unamortized costs related to that lease are written off, net of any required lease termination payments.
 
The Trust calculates the fair value of any long-term debt assumed by discounting the remaining contractual cash flows on each instrument at the current market rate for those borrowings, which the Trust approximates based on the rate at which it would expect to incur on a replacement instrument on the date of acquisition, and recognizes any fair value adjustments related to long-term debt as effective yield adjustments over the remaining term of the instrument.

Table of Contents

Based on these estimates, the Trust recognizes the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their estimated fair values, which are generally determined using Level 3 inputs, such as market rental rates, capitalization rates, discount rates, or other available market data. Initial valuations are subject to change until the information is finalized, no later than 12 months from the acquisition date. The Trust expenses transaction costs associated with acquisitions accounted for as business combinations in the period incurred.

Impairment of Intangible and Long-Lived Assets
 
The Trust periodically evaluates its long-lived assets, primarily consisting of investments in real estate, for impairment indicators or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If indicators of impairment are present, the Trust evaluates the carrying value of the related real estate properties in relation to the undiscounted expected future cash flows of the underlying operations. In performing this evaluation, management considers market conditions and current intentions with respect to holding or disposing of the real estate property. The Trust adjusts the net book value of real estate properties to fair value if the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows, including sales proceeds, is less than book value. The Trust recognizes an impairment loss at the time it makes any such determination. If the Trust determines that an asset is impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the recorded amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is typically determined using a discounted future cash flow analysis or other acceptable valuation techniques, which are based, in turn, upon Level 3 inputs, such as revenue and expense growth rates, capitalization rates, discount rates, or other available market data.
 
The Trust did not record impairment charges in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
 
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
 
The Trust reports investments in unconsolidated entities over whose operating and financial policies it has the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, the Trust’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses is included in its consolidated statements of income. The initial carrying value of investments in unconsolidated entities is based on the amount paid to purchase the equity interest.
 
Real Estate Loans Receivable
 
Real estate loans receivable consists of seven mezzanine loans and a term loan. Each mezzanine loan is collateralized by an ownership interest in the respective borrower, while the term loan is secured by an equity interest in one medical office building development. Interest income on the loans are recognized as earned based on the terms of the loans subject to evaluation of collectability risks and are included in the Trust’s consolidated statements of income.
 
Rental Revenue
 
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases when collectability is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis for leases may result in recognizing revenue for amounts more or less than amounts currently due from tenants. Amounts recognized in excess of amounts currently due from tenants are included in other assets and were approximately $22.8 million and $15.6 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. If the Trust determines that collectability of straight-line rents is not reasonably assured, the Trust limits future recognition to amounts contractually owed and, where appropriate, establishes an allowance for estimated losses. Rental revenue is adjusted by amortization of lease inducements and above or below market rents on certain leases. Lease inducements and above or below market rents are amortized over the remaining life of the lease.
 
Expense Recoveries
 
Expense recoveries relate to tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses that are recognized as expense recovery revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recorded at gross, as the Trust is generally the primary obligor with respect to real estate taxes and purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier, and bears the credit risk of tenant reimbursement.
 
The Trust has certain tenants with absolute net leases. Under these lease agreements, the tenant is responsible for operating and building expenses. For absolute net leases, the Trust does not recognize expense recoveries.

Income Taxes
 
The Trust elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal tax purposes commencing with the filing of its tax return for the short taxable year ending December 31, 2013. The Trust had no taxable income prior to electing REIT status. To qualify as a REIT, the Trust must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Trust generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its shareholders. If the Trust fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Trust relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Trust’s net income and net cash available for distribution to shareholders. However, the Trust intends to continue to operate in such a manner as to continue qualifying for treatment as a REIT. Although the Trust continues to qualify for taxation as a REIT, the Trust may be subject to state and local taxes on its income and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
 
Management Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported in the period. Significant estimates are made for the fair value assessments with respect to purchase price allocations, impairment assessments, stock-based compensation, and the valuation of financial instruments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Contingent Liabilities
 
The Trust records a liability for contingent consideration (included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets) at fair value as of the acquisition date and reassesses the fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any changes being recognized in earnings. Increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration can result from changes in discount periods, discount rates, and probabilities that contingencies will be met.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation, with no effect on the previously reported consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which creates a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard is effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of Topic 606 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 requires entities to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Principally, the new consolidation standard modified the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIE") or voting interest entities. The Trust adopted ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016. Based on the Trust’s review and subsequent analysis of the structure of the Trust’s legal entities, the Trust has concluded that the Operating Partnership is a VIE because the limited partners of the Operating Partnership do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. The Trust is the general partner and controlling owner of approximately 97.2% of the Operating Partnership and will continue to consolidate the Operating Partnership under this new guidance. With respect to the Trust’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, the new consolidation standard did not have an impact on previous consolidation conclusions.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance has been applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. The Trust adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-03, the Trust reclassified $6.0 million from net deferred costs to the related liabilities within the December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The update amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new leases standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Acquisitions and Dispositions
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Trust completed acquisitions of 71 operating healthcare properties and 2 condominium units located in 20 states for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $878.4 million. In addition, the Trust completed $3.5 million of loan transactions, resulting in total investment activity of $881.9 million.

These figures include the completed acquisition of 46 of the properties in the CHI Portfolio for an aggregate purchase price of $615.5 million. This aggregate purchase price does not include near-term capital expenditure commitments of $12.9 million and committed tenant improvement allowances of $8.9 million.

On June 10, 2016, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust entered into an amended and restated Credit Agreement with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., BMO Capital Markets, and Citizens Bank N.A., as joint lead arrangers and co-book runners, BMO Capital Markets and Citizens Bank N.A., as co-syndication agents, and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”) which increased the maximum principal amount available under an unsecured revolving credit facility from $750 million to $850 million. The Credit Agreement contains a term loan feature allowing the Operating Partnership to borrow in a single drawing before July 11, 2016 up to $250 million, increasing the borrowing capacity to an aggregate $1.1 billion.

The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of September 18, 2020 and includes a one year extension option. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate which is determined by the Trust’s credit rating, currently equal to LIBOR plus 1.20%. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes a facility fee equal to 0.25% per annum, which is determined by the Trust’s investment grade rating under the Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement includes a swingline loan commitment for up to 10% of the maximum principal amount and provides an accordion feature allowing the Trust to increase borrowing capacity by up to an additional $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity of $1.6 billion.
 
The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that, among other things, require compliance with leverage and coverage ratios and maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, as well as covenants that may limit the Trust’s and the Operating Partnership’s ability to incur additional debt or make distributions. The Trust may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any revolving or swingline loan under the Credit Agreement in whole or in part without premium or penalty. Prepayments of term borrowings require payment of premiums of up to 2.0% of the amount of prepayment, dependent on date of such prepayment. As of June 30, 2016, the Trust was in compliance with all financial covenants.
 
The Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties by the Operating Partnership and the Trust and imposes customary covenants on the Operating Partnership and the Trust. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, and if an event of default occurs and continues, the Operating Partnership is subject to certain actions by the administrative agent, including without limitation, the acceleration of repayment of all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
 
The Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit and term loans to the Operating Partnership. Base Rate Loans, Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans, and Letters of Credit (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement) will be subject to interest rates, based upon the investment grade rating of the Trust and the Operating Partnership as follows:

Note 8. Stock-based Compensation
 
The Trust follows ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in accounting for its share-based payments. This guidance requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the employee stock awards. This cost is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the employee’s requisite service period. Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized when incurred. Share-based payments classified as liability awards are marked to fair value at each reporting period.
 
Certain of the Trust’s employee stock awards vest only upon the achievement of performance targets. ASC 718 requires recognition of compensation cost only when achievement of performance conditions is considered probable. Consequently, the Trust’s determination of the amount of stock compensation expense requires a significant level of judgment in estimating the probability of achievement of these performance targets. Additionally, the Trust must make estimates regarding employee forfeitures in determining compensation expense. Subsequent changes in actual experience are monitored and estimates are updated as information is available.
 
In connection with the IPO, the Trust adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”), which made available 600,000 common shares to be administered by the compensation and nominating governance committee of the Board of Trustees (the “Committee”). On August 7, 2014, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Physicians Realty Trust, the Trust’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2013 Plan to increase the number of common shares authorized for issuance under the 2013 Plan by 1,850,000 common shares, for a total of 2,450,000 common shares.

Restricted Common Shares:
 
The Committee has broad discretion in administering the terms of the 2013 Plan. Restricted common shares granted under the 2013 Plan are eligible for dividends as well as the right to vote. In the six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Trust granted a total of 149,879 restricted common shares with a total value of $2.7 million to its officers and certain of its employees, which have a one-year vesting period for officer award-recipients and a three-year vesting period for employee award-recipients.

For all service awards, the Trust records compensation expense for the entire award on a straight-line basis (or, if applicable, on the accelerated method) over the requisite service period. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Trust recognized non-cash share compensation of $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Trust recognized non-cash share compensation of $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense at June 30, 2016 was $2.8 million. The Trust’s compensation expense recorded in connection with grants of restricted common shares reflects an initial estimated cumulative forfeiture rate of 0% over the requisite service period of the awards. That estimate will be revised if subsequent information indicates that the actual number of awards expected to vest is likely to differ from previous estimates.
 
Restricted Share Units:
 
In March 2016, under the 2013 Plan, the Trust granted restricted share units at a target level of 141,337 to its officers and trustees, which are subject to certain performance, timing, and market conditions and a three-year and two-year service period for officers and trustees, respectively. In addition, each restricted share unit contains one dividend equivalent. The recipient will accrue dividend equivalents on awarded share units equal to the cash dividend that would have been paid on the awarded share unit had the awarded share unit been an issued and outstanding common share on the record date for the dividend.
 
Approximately 80% of the restricted share units issued to officers vest based on certain market conditions. The market conditions were valued with the assistance of independent valuation specialists. The Trust utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the weighted average grant date fair value of $28.50 per unit for the March 2016 grant using the following assumptions:

20.3
%
Dividend assumption

Expected term in years

%
Share price (per share)
$
17.67

 
The remaining 20% of the restricted share units issued to officers, and 100% of restricted share units issued to trustees, vest based upon certain performance or timing conditions. With respect to the performance conditions of the March 2016 grant, the grant date fair value of $17.67 per unit was based on the share price at the date of grant. The combined weighted average grant date fair value of the March 2016 restricted share units issued to officers is $26.33 per unit.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements
 
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), requires certain assets and liabilities be reported and/or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements and provides a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value.
 
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
 
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the asset or liability. In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.
 
The Trust has one derivative instrument at June 30, 2016, consisting of one embedded derivative as detailed in the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Operating Partnership and Partially Owned Properties section of Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).
 
The Trust’s embedded derivative is not traded on an exchange. The Trust’s derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value based on a variety of observable inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Trust measures its derivative at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values are based on Level 2 inputs described above.
 
The Trust also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. This generally includes assets subject to impairment. There were no such assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2016.
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, payables, and accrued interest are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short term maturities of these instruments. Fair values for real estate loans receivable and mortgage debt are estimated based on rates currently prevailing for similar instruments of similar maturities and are based primarily on Level 2 inputs.

Note 13. Subsequent Events
 
On July 7, 2016, the Operating Partnership borrowed $250 million under the 7-year term loan feature of the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the term loan feature of the Credit Agreement bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate which is determined by the Trust’s credit rating, currently equal to LIBOR + 1.80%. The Trust simultaneously entered into a pay-fixed receive-variable rate swap for the full borrowing amount, fixing the LIBOR component of the borrowing rate to 1.07%, for an all-in fixed rate of 2.87%.

Item 2.                                 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes to those statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, and the Section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this report. As discussed in more detail in the Section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” this discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause those differences include those discussed in Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of this report, Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our Annual Report, and Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of the First Quarter Report.
 
Overview
 
We are a self-managed healthcare real estate company organized in April 2013 to acquire, selectively develop, own, and manage healthcare properties that are leased to physicians, hospitals, and healthcare delivery systems. We invest in real estate that is integral to providing high quality healthcare services. Our properties are typically located on a campus with a hospital or other healthcare facilities or strategically located and affiliated with a hospital or other healthcare facilities. We believe the impact of government programs and continuing trends in the healthcare industry create attractive opportunities for us to invest in healthcare related real estate. Our management team has significant public healthcare REIT experience and has long established relationships with physicians, hospitals, and healthcare delivery system decision makers that we believe will provide quality investment and growth opportunities. Our principal investments include medical office buildings, outpatient treatment facilities, acute and post-acute care hospitals, as well as other real estate integral to health care providers. We seek to invest in stabilized medical facility assets with initial cash yields of 6% to 9%. We seek to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders through a combination of stable and increasing dividends and potential long-term appreciation in the value of our properties and our common shares. 

As of June 30, 2016, our portfolio consisted of 222 properties located in 29 states with approximately 9,586,638 net leasable square feet, which were approximately 95.7% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 8.6 years. As of June 30, 2016, approximately 79.4% of the net leasable square footage of our portfolio was affiliated with a healthcare delivery system or located within approximately 1/4 mile of a hospital campus. We expect to acquire between $1.0 billion to $1.25 billion of real estate during 2016, including the 2016 acquisitions described in this report.

We receive a cash rental stream from these healthcare providers under our leases. Approximately 84.8% of the annualized base rent payments from our properties as of June 30, 2016 are from triple-net leases, pursuant to which the tenants are responsible for all operating expenses relating to the property, including but not limited to real estate taxes, utilities, property insurance, routine maintenance and repairs, and property management. This structure helps insulate us from increases in certain operating expenses and provides more predictable cash flow. Approximately 12.0% of the annualized base rent payments from our properties as of June 30, 2016 are from modified gross base stop leases which allow us to pass through certain increases in future operating expenses (e.g., property tax and insurance) to tenants for reimbursement, thus protecting us from increases in such operating expenses. We seek to structure our triple-net leases to generate attractive returns on a long-term basis. Our leases typically have initial terms of 5 to 15 years and include annual rent escalators of approximately 1.5% to 3.0%. Our operating results depend significantly upon the ability of our tenants to make required rental payments. We believe that our portfolio of medical office buildings and other healthcare facilities will enable us to generate stable cash flows over time because of the diversity of our tenants, staggered lease expiration schedule, long-term leases, and low historical occurrence of tenants defaulting under their leases. As of June 30, 2016, leases representing 2.0%, 4.4%, and 4.9% of leasable square feet in our portfolio will expire in 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively.

We have entered into an unsecured credit facility in the maximum principal amount of $1.1 billion and intend to use borrowings under the facility to finance future acquisitions and developments, fund tenant improvements, fund leasing commissions to third parties, fund capital expenditures, provide for working capital, and provide for other general corporate purposes. The unsecured credit facility contains a term loan feature allowing us to borrow in a single drawing before July 11, 2016 up to $250 million, and also includes a swingline loan commitment for up to 10% of the maximum principal amount and provides an accordion feature allowing us to increase borrowing capacity by up to an additional $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity of $1.6 billion. As of June 30, 2016, we had approximately $114.3 million of mortgage indebtedness outstanding, secured by first mortgages on certain of our properties, $378.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, and $150.0 million of outstanding notes payable.

On April 5, 2016, we and our Operating Partnership entered into a series of purchase and sale agreements with regional health systems controlled by Catholic Health Initiatives to acquire 52 medical office facilities (which we now treat as 53 medical office facilities because we consider a certain condominium property as being separate from a nearby surgical center) (the “CHI Portfolio”) containing 3,159,495 rentable square feet located in 10 states (the “CHI Acquisition”). As of June 30, 2016, we have completed the acquisition of 46 of the properties in the CHI Portfolio representing 2,816,986 net leasable square feet. We have elected not to complete the acquisition of 2 of the properties in the CHI Portfolio and we expect to complete the acquisition of 4 of the remaining properties during the third quarter of 2016 and 1 in early 2017.

During the quarterly period ended June 30, 2016, we completed acquisitions of 55 operating healthcare properties, including those in the CHI Portfolio, located in 13 states with approximately 3,034,240 net leasable square feet for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $676.6 million.

In addition, we funded loan investments totaling $3.0 million. Acquisitions are detailed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

We have grown our portfolio of gross real estate investments from approximately $124 million at the time of our IPO in July 2013 to approximately $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2016. As of August 1, 2016, we have 134,576,075 common shares outstanding.

On January 7, 2016, our Operating Partnership issued and sold $150 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes, comprised of (i) $15,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.03% Senior Notes, Series A, due January 7, 2023 (the “Series A Notes”), (ii) $45,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.43% Senior Notes, Series B, due January 7, 2026 (the “Series B Notes”), (iii) $45,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.57% Senior Notes, Series C, due January 7, 2028 (the “Series C Notes”), and (iv) $45,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.74% Senior Notes, Series D, due January 7, 2031 (the “Series D Notes,” and together with the Series A Notes, the Series B Notes, and the Series C Notes, the “Notes”). The proceeds of the Notes were used to repay borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, for general corporate and working capital purposes, and for funding acquisitions.

On January 25, 2016, we completed a follow-on public offering of 21,275,000 common shares of beneficial interest, including 2,775,000 common shares issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $321.1 million. We contributed the net proceeds of this offering to our Operating Partnership in exchange for 21,275,000 OP Units, and our Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of the public offering to repay borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, for general corporate and working capital purposes, and for funding acquisitions.

On April 11, 2016, we completed a follow-on public offering of 25,875,000 common shares of beneficial interest, including 3,375,000 common shares issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $442.8 million. We contributed the net proceeds of this offering to our Operating Partnership in exchange for 25,875,000 OP Units, and our Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of the public offering to repay borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, for general corporate and working capital purposes, for funding acquisitions, and to fund a portion of the purchase price for the CHI Acquisition.

On June 23, 2016, we announced that our Board of Trustees authorized and declared a cash distribution of $0.225 per common share for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2016. The distribution was paid on July 18, 2016 to common shareholders and OP Unit holders of record as of the close of business on July 5, 2016.

We are a Maryland real estate investment trust and elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We conduct our business through an UPREIT structure in which our properties are owned by our Operating Partnership directly or through limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of June 30, 2016, own approximately 97.2% of the OP Units.
 
Recent Developments

On July 7, 2016, the Operating Partnership borrowed $250 million under the 7-year term loan feature of the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the term loan feature of the Credit Agreement bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate which is determined by the Trust’s credit rating, currently equal to LIBOR + 1.80%. The Trust simultaneously entered into a pay-fixed receive-variable rate swap for the full borrowing amount, fixing the LIBOR component of the borrowing rate to 1.07%, for an all-in fixed rate of 2.87%.

Revenues
 
Revenues consist primarily of the rental revenues and property operating expense recoveries we collect from tenants pursuant to our leases. Additionally, we recognize certain cash and non-cash revenues. These cash and non-cash revenues are highlighted below.
 
Rental revenues. Rental revenues represent rent under existing leases that is paid by our tenants, straight-lining of contractual rents and below-market lease amortization reduced by lease inducements and above-market lease amortization.
 
Expense recoveries. Certain of our leases require our tenants to make estimated payments to us to cover their proportional share of operating expenses, including but not limited to real estate taxes, property insurance, routine maintenance and repairs, utilities, and property management expenses. We collect these estimated expenses and are reimbursed by our tenants for any actual expenses in excess of our estimates or reimburse tenants if our collected estimates exceed our actual operating expenses. The net reimbursed operating expenses are included in revenues as expense recoveries.
 
We have certain tenants with absolute net leases. Under these lease agreements, the tenant is responsible for operating and building expenses. For absolute net leases, we do not recognize operating expense or expense recoveries.
 
Interest income on real estate loans and other. Represents interest income on mezzanine loans, term loans, notes receivable, income generated on tenant improvements, changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities, and other. Interest income on the loans are recognized as earned based on the terms of the loans subject to evaluation of collectability risks.
 
Expenses
 
Expenses consist primarily of interest expense, general and administrative costs associated with operating our properties, operating expenses of our properties, depreciation and amortization, and costs we incur to acquire properties.
 
Interest expense. We recognize the interest expense we incur on our borrowings as interest expense. Additionally, we incur amortization expense for charges such as legal fees, commitment fees, and arrangement fees that reflect costs incurred with arranging certain debt financings. We generally recognize these costs over the term of the respective debt instrument for which the costs were incurred as a component of interest expense.
 
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses include certain expenses such as compensation, accounting, legal, and other professional fees as well as certain other administrative and travel costs, and expenses related to bank charges, franchise taxes, corporate filing fees, exchange listing fees, officer and trustee insurance costs, and other costs associated with being a public company.

Table of Contents

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses include property operating expenses such as real estate taxes, property insurance, routine maintenance and repairs, utilities, and third party property management expenses, some of which are reimbursed to us by tenants under the terms of triple net leases.
 
Depreciation and amortization. We incur depreciation and amortization expense on all of our long-lived assets. This non-cash expense is designed under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, to reflect the economic useful lives of our assets.

Acquisition expenses. Acquisition costs are costs we incur in pursuing and closing property acquisitions accounted for as business combinations. These costs include legal, accounting, valuation, other professional or consulting fees, and the compensation of certain employees who dedicate substantially all of their time to acquisition related job functions. We account for acquisition-related costs as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.
 
Equity in income of unconsolidated entity. We recognize our 40% share of earnings and losses from the entity that owns the land under Crescent City Surgical Centre.
 
Cash Flow
 
Cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows from operating activities are derived largely from net income by adjusting our revenues for those amounts not collected in cash during the period in which the revenue is recognized and for cash collected that was billed in prior periods or will be billed in future periods. Net income is further adjusted by adding back expenses charged in the period that is not paid for in cash during the same period. We expect to make our distributions based largely from cash provided by operations.
 
Cash flows from investing activities. Cash flows from investing activities consist of cash that is used during a period for making new investments and capital expenditures, offset by cash provided from sales of real estate investments.
 
Cash flows from financing activities. Cash flows from financing activities consist of cash we receive from debt and equity financings. This cash provides the primary basis for investments in new properties and capital expenditures. While we may invest a portion of our cash from operations into new investments, as a result of the distribution requirements to maintain our REIT status, it is likely that additional debt or equity financings will finance the majority of our investment activity. Cash used in financing activities consists of repayment of debt and distributions paid to shareholders and OP Unit holders.
