BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “MPT”) (NYSE:MPW) today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, and recent highlights, including approximately $1.9 billion in announced acquisitions year to date.
“For the past three calendar years, MPT has grown its normalized FFO per share at a compounded annual rate of more than ten percent, significantly exceeding our peers,” said Edward K. Aldag, Jr., MPT’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our outstanding growth so far in 2017 sets the stage for continued outperformance in FFO per share and dividend growth. The hospital real estate market remains very active and MPT is continuing to pursue opportunities to acquire high-quality hospitals located in strong markets with the objective of further creating long-term value for our shareholders.”
SECOND QUARTER AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
- Net income of $0.21 and normalized funds from operations (“FFO”) of $0.32 in the second quarter both on a per diluted share basis;
- Entered into previously announced binding agreements to acquire the real estate interests of ten acute care hospitals and a behavioral health facility to be operated by Steward Health Care LLC (“Steward”) for $1.4 billion, along with a $100 million investment in Steward; acquisitions expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017;
- Completed previously announced sale and leaseback transactions aggregating approximately $429 million with Steward, RCCH Healthcare Partners and Alecto Healthcare; and €19.4 million with German acute operator ATOS;
- Previously announced funding commitment with Circle Health Group and commencement of development of an acute care hospital in Birmingham, England, for an estimated total cost of approximately £33 million;
- Completed sale leaseback transactions of 13 rehabilitation hospitals in the second quarter and July for €166.2 million to affiliates of MEDIAN, which combined with previous acquisitions of seven hospitals in the fourth quarter of 2016 for €49.5 million finalizes the acquisition of 20 hospitals for €215.7 million announced in 2016;
- Previously announced completion of a public offering of 43.1 million shares of common stock (including underwriters’ overallotment) resulting in net proceeds of $548 million;
- FTSE Russell added MPW with its equity market capitalization of approximately $4.8 billion to the Russell 1000 Index on June 23.
After closing of the pending transactions, the Company expects to have pro forma total gross assets of approximately $9.1 billion, including $6.5 billion in general acute care hospitals, $1.9 billion in inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, and $0.4 billion in long-term acute care hospitals. This pro forma portfolio includes 270 properties representing more than 31,000 licensed beds in 29 states and in Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain. The properties are leased to or mortgaged by 31 hospital operating companies.
Included in the financial tables accompanying this press release is information about the Company’s assets and liabilities, net income and reconciliations of net income to FFO and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”), all on a basis comparable to 2016 results. In addition, a reconciliation of pro forma total gross assets to total assets is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
OPERATING RESULTS AND OUTLOOK
Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $73.4 million (or $0.21 per diluted share), compared to $53.7 million (or $0.22 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2016. Normalized FFO for the second quarter increased 50% to $113.6 million compared with $75.5 million in the second quarter of 2016. Normalized FFO was $0.32 per diluted share in the second quarter compared with $0.32 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2016.
Based on management’s present investment, capital and operating strategies, and the expected timing of each, management estimates 2017 net income as a range of between $0.87 and $0.89 per diluted share and 2017 Normalized FFO between $1.29 and $1.31 per diluted share. This range is based on management’s estimate of the likely timing of closing of the $1.4 billion Steward investment and the timing and interest rate related to the anticipated debt financing of such investment.
The Company today is also introducing its estimate of 2018 net income as a range of between $1.02 and $1.06 per diluted share and 2018 Normalized FFO between $1.42 and $1.46 per diluted share. This estimate assumes no additional acquisitions or investments and no asset sales.
A reconciliation of Normalized FFO guidance to net income is included with the financial tables accompanying this press release.
These estimates do not include the effects, if any, of unexpected real estate operating costs, changes in accounting pronouncements, litigation costs, debt refinancing costs, acquisition costs, currency exchange rate movements, interest rate hedging activities, write-offs of straight-line rent or other non-recurring or unplanned transactions. These estimates may change if the Company acquires or sells assets, market interest rates change, debt is refinanced, new shares are issued, additional debt is incurred, other operating expenses vary, income from investments in tenant operations vary from expectations, or existing leases do not perform in accordance with their terms.

| (B) | Represents additional rent received from one tenant in advance of when we can recognize as revenue for accounting purposes. This additional rent is being recorded to revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease life. | |
| Investors and analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations, or FFO, as a supplemental performance measure. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate asset values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. We compute FFO in accordance with the definition provided by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) on sales of real estate and impairment charges on real estate assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. |
| In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, we also disclose normalized FFO, which adjusts FFO for items that relate to unanticipated or non-core events or activities or accounting changes that, if not noted, would make comparison to prior period results and market expectations less meaningful to investors and analysts. We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and the use of normalized FFO makes comparisons of our operating results with prior periods and other companies more meaningful. While FFO and normalized FFO are relevant and widely used supplemental measures of operating and financial performance of REITs, they should not be viewed as a substitute measure of our operating performance since the measures do not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which can be significant economic costs that could materially impact our results of operations. FFO and normalized FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity. |
| We calculate adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, by subtracting from or adding to normalized FFO (i) unbilled rent revenue, (ii) non-cash share-based compensation expense, and (iii) amortization of deferred financing costs. AFFO is an operating measurement that we use to analyze our results of operations based on the receipt, rather than the accrual, of our rental revenue and on certain other adjustments. We believe that this is an important measurement because our leases generally have significant contractual escalations of base rents and therefore result in recognition of rental income that is not collected until future periods, and costs that are deferred or are non-cash charges. Our calculation of AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO or similarly titled measures reported by other REITs. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (calculated pursuant to GAAP) as an indicator of our results of operations or to cash flow from operating activities (calculated pursuant to GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity. |
