Company Description
Sila Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: SILA) is a net lease real estate investment trust (REIT) headquartered in Tampa, Florida. According to the company’s public disclosures and SEC filings, Sila focuses on investing in the growing and resilient healthcare sector, owning and managing healthcare facilities that are leased on a net or absolute-net basis. The company states that it seeks to invest in high quality healthcare facilities along the continuum of care with the goal of generating predictable, durable, and growing income streams.
Healthcare-focused net lease REIT
Sila describes itself as a net lease REIT with a strategic focus on healthcare real estate. Its portfolio consists of healthcare facilities leased to healthcare operators under long-term net or absolute-net leases, where tenants are generally responsible for many property-level expenses. Company press releases and supplemental data indicate that these properties include medical outpatient buildings and inpatient rehabilitation facilities, among other healthcare assets. The portfolio is characterized in company materials as comprising high quality tenants in geographically diverse facilities positioned to support the delivery of healthcare to patients.
Portfolio scale and diversification
Based on Sila’s earnings releases, as of September 30, 2025 the company owned 140 real estate properties and three undeveloped land parcels located in 67 markets across the United States, comprising approximately 5.3 million rentable square feet. Earlier disclosures during 2025 reference a portfolio of 136 properties and multiple undeveloped land parcels, reflecting acquisition activity during the year. The company describes this portfolio as well diversified, with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 9.5 to 9.7 years in 2025 and a high percentage of rentable square feet leased.
Company communications highlight that Sila’s tenants are healthcare operators across different care settings. Recent transactions described in press releases include medical outpatient buildings in Southlake, Texas, leased to GI Alliance Management, LLC and Lonestar Endoscopy Center, LLC, and inpatient rehabilitation facilities in Plano, Texas; Peoria, Arizona; Knoxville, Tennessee; and Dover, Delaware. These facilities are subject to long-term net or absolute-net leases, with stated lease expirations extending into the 2030s and 2040s for certain properties.
Investment strategy and property types
In its public statements, Sila emphasizes a strategy of allocating capital toward what it describes as high quality, net-lease healthcare properties. The company highlights acquisitions of inpatient rehabilitation facilities and medical outpatient buildings, often noting that these properties are purpose-built for healthcare use and are leased to established healthcare systems or specialized operators. Examples from 2025 include:
- An inpatient rehabilitation facility in Knoxville, Tennessee, fully leased to Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital, LLC under an absolute-net lease with a stated lease expiration in 2036.
- An inpatient rehabilitation facility in Dover, Delaware, leased to a joint venture between Bayhealth Medical Center, Inc. and a subsidiary of Post Acute Medical, LLC.
- Two inpatient rehabilitation facilities in Plano, Texas and Peoria, Arizona, leased to Reunion Rehabilitation Hospital entities under absolute net leases with lease expirations in 2048.
- Two medical outpatient buildings in Southlake, Texas, including a gastroenterology center leased to GI Alliance Management, LLC and an ambulatory surgery center leased to a joint venture involving Baylor Scott & White Health and United Surgical Partners International.
These examples, drawn from company news releases, illustrate Sila’s focus on necessity-based healthcare facilities and long-term leases with healthcare operators.
Leasing profile and income characteristics
Sila’s earnings releases describe a portfolio with high occupancy and long lease terms. As of June 30, 2025, the company reported that approximately 99.2% of rentable square feet was leased, and as of September 30, 2025, the leased percentage was reported at 99.1%. The company also discloses weighted average fixed rent escalation rates, excluding leases tied to consumer price index measures, and notes that a portion of annualized base rent is scheduled to mature over the next five years. These characteristics are presented by Sila as supporting what it describes as durable and predictable cash flows.
In its communications, Sila frequently references non-GAAP metrics such as Cash Net Operating Income (Cash NOI), Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO), and other measures used by REITs. The company provides reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP metrics in its earnings materials and SEC filings, and explains that it uses these measures to evaluate operating performance and compare itself to other REITs.
Capital structure and financing
Sila’s filings and press releases describe an unsecured financing platform that includes a revolving credit facility and term loans. In the first quarter of 2025, the company entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit agreement with aggregate commitments available of up to $600 million, referred to as the 2029 Revolving Credit Agreement, replacing a prior $500 million revolving line of credit. The company notes that this facility may be increased, subject to lender approval, and that it aligned certain terms and covenants of its term loans with the new revolving credit agreement.
Throughout 2025, Sila reported total principal debt outstanding under its unsecured credit facilities and disclosed that a substantial portion of this debt was fixed through interest rate swap agreements. The company also reports net debt to enterprise value metrics and describes maintaining what it characterizes as a strong balance sheet and liquidity position, consisting of cash and availability under its unsecured credit facilities.
Equity capital and ATM program
According to an August 12, 2025 Form 8-K, Sila and its operating partnership entered into an Equity Offering Sales Agreement that allows the company to offer and sell shares of its common stock in at-the-market offerings, with an aggregate offering price of up to $250 million. The agreement also contemplates the use of forward sale agreements with designated forward purchasers. The company states that it intends to use net proceeds from any such sales or settlements for general corporate purposes, which may include repaying amounts outstanding under credit facilities, working capital and capital expenditures, and potential future acquisitions.
Dividends and share repurchase program
Sila’s board of directors has authorized regular quarterly cash dividends on the company’s common stock. In multiple 2025 press releases and an August 6, 2025 Form 8-K, the company disclosed quarterly cash dividends of $0.40 per share, representing an annualized amount of $1.60 per share. The company also reports dividend payout ratios relative to AFFO.
In August 2025, Sila announced that its board authorized a share repurchase program of up to $75 million in gross purchase proceeds over a three-year period, subject to a limitation of $25 million in any twelve-month period. The company explains that repurchases may be made in the open market, through privately negotiated purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, or other lawful means, and that the three-year program replaced a prior one-year share repurchase program.
Public company status and regulatory reporting

Risk and portfolio considerations
Company disclosures also reference certain portfolio events, such as the impact of the Steward Health Care System LLC bankruptcy on the Stoughton Healthcare Facility, which was taken out of service and is being demolished. Sila notes that vacancy related to this facility and other factors, such as lease termination and severance fees received from a tenant in a prior period, have affected Cash NOI comparisons across periods. The company also reports impairment and demolition costs associated with certain properties. These disclosures illustrate that, while Sila emphasizes stable, long-term leases, its portfolio is subject to tenant credit events and property-level changes.
Use of non-GAAP measures and supplemental information
In its earnings releases, Sila explains that it uses non-GAAP financial measures, including FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, and same store Cash NOI, and provides reconciliations to GAAP measures. The company states that it believes these measures provide investors with additional information concerning its operating performance and a basis to compare its performance with other REITs, while also noting that definitions and calculations may differ from those used by other companies and that such measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP metrics or as indicators of liquidity.
Summary
Overall, Sila Realty Trust, Inc. presents itself as a healthcare-focused net lease REIT that owns and invests in healthcare facilities across the United States, with long-term leases to healthcare operators, a diversified portfolio across many markets, and a capital structure that includes unsecured credit facilities, an at-the-market equity program, and a share repurchase authorization.
