Milwaukee, WI - November 2, 2018 - Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE: DOC) (the “Company,” the “Trust,” “we,” “our” and “us”), a self-managed healthcare real estate investment trust, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.
John T. Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust, commented, “Physicians Realty Trust delivered another period of exceptional results during the third quarter of 2018, demonstrating the value of a portfolio constructed with a focus on building long term partnerships with industry leading health systems.”
“In line with our 2018 strategic plan shared at the beginning of the year, we’ve remained disciplined in our deployment of capital given the continued and resilient demand for high quality medical office buildings. Our recent acquisition of the brand new Northside Medical Midtown MOB in Atlanta, Georgia, represents the type of strategic acquisition that we believe to best deliver value in today’s market. This transaction not only improves the overall quality of our portfolio, but also expands our
strong partnership with Northside Hospital, one of Georgia’s largest and most respected health systems,” Mr. Thomas continued.
“We look forward to discussing this acquisition, as well as our thoughts for the remainder of the year, during today’s conference call,” Mr. Thomas concluded.
Third Quarter Financial Results
Total revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $105.0 million, an increase of 13% from the same period in 2017. As of September 30, 2018, the portfolio was 96.0% leased, excluding assets classified as held for sale.
Total expenses for the third quarter 2018 were $95.5 million, an increase of 19% from the same period in 2017. The increase in expenses was primarily the result of a $9.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a $4.3 million increase in interest expense, and a $2.4 million increase in operating expenses.
Net income for the third quarter 2018 increased to $23.8 million, compared to net income of $12.5 million for the third quarter 2017, an increase of 90%. Net income for the third quarter included a net benefit of $1.8 million, or $0.01 per share, related to a lease termination at the Fox Valley Hematology and Oncology MOB. This $1.8 million benefit to net income includes the recognition of $2.2 million in other income attributable to lease termination fees, partially offset by the impairment of $0.4 million in deferred rent receivables.
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter 2018 was $22.7 million. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter 2018 was $0.12 based on 187.5 million weighted average common shares and OP units outstanding.
Funds from operations (FFO) for the third quarter 2018 consisted of net income, plus $42.7 million of depreciation and amortization, less $14.2 million of gain on sale of investment properties, less $0.5 million of other adjustments, resulting in $0.28 per share and OP unit on a fully diluted basis. Normalized FFO, which adjusts for net changes in fair value, was $51.7 million, or $0.28 per share and OP unit on a fully diluted basis, inclusive of the $1.8 million lease termination benefit discussed above.
Normalized funds available for distribution (FAD) for the third quarter 2018, which consists of normalized FFO adjusted for non-cash share compensation, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired above-market and below-market leases and assumed debt, amortization of lease inducements, amortization of deferred financing costs, and recurring capital expenditures, was $45.7 million, including the $2.2 million cash benefit of the lease termination discussed above.
Our same-store portfolio, which includes 220 properties representing approximately 82% of our net leasable square footage, generated year-over-year same-store Cash NOI growth of 5.6% for the third quarter 2018. Same-Store Cash NOI for the third quarter 2018 includes the one-time effects of a lease termination at the Company's Fox Valley Hematology and Oncology MOB, and excludes 6 assets slated for disposition. Upon exclusion of the Fox Valley Hematology and Oncology MOB, year-over-year same-store NOI growth is 1.8%.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we sold 17 medical office buildings located in 7 states for approximately $127.2 million.
Assets Slated for Disposition
We consider 6 properties in 3 states, representing an aggregate of approximately 320,270 square feet of gross leasable area, to be slated for disposition as of September 30, 2018. These assets include 2 assets that are classified as held for sale, and 4 additional properties which we believe no longer meet our core business strategy from a size, age, geography, or line of business perspective.
Other Recent Events
Dividend Paid
On September 19, 2018, our Board of Trustees authorized and declared a cash distribution of $0.23 per common share and OP Unit for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2018. The distribution was paid on October 18, 2018 to common shareholders and OP Unit holders of record as of the close of business on October 3, 2018.
Investment Activity in Third Quarter
In the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company completed the purchase of a new medical office facility developed by Northside Hospital in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia. The outpatient care facility is approximately 168,676 net leasable square feet, anchored by Northside Hospital, and is 98% leased. The purchase price was $82.1 million and it is expected to yield 5.0% upon stabilization. This is the fifth building owned by the Company that is anchored by Northside Hospital, with Northside directly leasing approximately 467,600 rentable square feet in these facilities.
The Company also acquired two properties and one land parcel, representing 49,350 square feet, through the conversion and satisfaction of a previously outstanding construction loan, valued at an aggregate $18.8 million.
Other Company Announcements
On August 7, 2018, the Company amended and restated its Credit Agreement, reducing the per annum interest rate under both the revolving and term loan provisions of the facility while extending the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from September 18, 2020 to September 18, 2022.
On August 3, 2018, the Company completed the execution of an eight-year absolute net lease with an affiliate of RCCH Healthcare Partners (“RCCH”), who acquired Kennewick, Washington-based Trios Health through a joint venture with Seattle, Washington-based University of Washington Medicine, for 100% of the Company’s 160,000 rentable square foot medical office building (the “Kennewick MOB”) on the campus of and attached to the Trios Southridge Hospital. The RCCH lease commenced immediately as of that date, with RCCH paying the first month’s rent and making the required $500,000 security deposit. The lease includes provisions for five separate five-year lease renewal terms.
The Company is honored to announce it has been selected as a finalist for the Healthcare Real Estate Insights (“HREI”) magazine 2018 HREI Insight Award for the Northside Medical Midtown MOB mentioned above. The HREI Insight Award recognizes excellence in the areas of healthcare real estate development and executive leadership. Northside Medical Midtown MOB opened its doors for business on July 23, 2018, and it is projected to serve up to 500,000 patients annually through an optimal mix of convenient healthcare services for the residents and commuters of Midtown Atlanta. The MOB is already a premier destination for high-quality care and is expected to be a stable neighborhood anchor, successfully meeting the needs of healthcare providers and ownership.

This press release includes Funds From Operations (FFO), Normalized FFO, Normalized Funds Available For Distribution (FAD), Net Operating Income (NOI), Cash NOI, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (EBITDAre) and Adjusted EBITDAre, which are non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of the SEC’s Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the company, or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable financial measure so calculated and presented. As used in this press release, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
We believe that information regarding FFO is helpful to shareholders and potential investors because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) before noncontrolling interests of holders of OP units, excluding preferred
distributions, gains (or losses) on sales of depreciable operating property, impairment write-downs on depreciable assets, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs). Our FFO computation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with NAREIT definition or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. The GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, net income, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales, impairments, and noncontrolling interests. In computing FFO, we eliminate these items because, in our view, they are not indicative of the results from the operations of our properties. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as presented in our financial statements. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered to be an alternative to net income or loss (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.
We use Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments, acquisition expenses, acceleration of deferred financing costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and other normalizing items. However, our use of the term Normalized FFO may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. Normalized FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our financial performance or of cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP), or as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Normalized FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
We define Normalized FAD, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes from Normalized FFO non-cash share compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired above- or below-market leases and assumed debt, amortization of lease inducements, amortization of deferred financing costs, and recurring capital expenditures related to tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and includes cash payments from seller master leases and rent abatement payments. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating Normalized FAD, and accordingly, our computation may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. Although our computation of Normalized FAD may not be comparable to that of other REITs, we believe Normalized FAD provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our performance due to its frequency of use by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. Normalized FAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss attributable to controlling interest (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of our financial performance. Normalized FAD should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income or loss, computed in accordance with GAAP, generated from our total portfolio of properties before general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, gain or loss on the sale of investment properties, and impairment losses. We believe that NOI provides an accurate measure of operating performance of our operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with management of the properties. Our use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount.
Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from NOI straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired above and below market leases, and other non-cash and normalizing items. Other non-cash and normalizing items include items such as the amortization of lease inducements, payments received from seller master leases and rent abatements, and changes in fair value of contingent consideration. We believe that Cash NOI provides an accurate measure of the operating performance of our operating assets because it excludes certain items that are not associated with management of the properties. Additionally, we believe that Cash NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate community. Our use of the term Cash NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as such other companies may have different methodologies for computing this amount.
We define EBITDAre as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, loss (gain) on dispositions, and impairment loss on depreciated property. We define Adjusted EBITDAre as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, loss (gain) on dispositions, impairment loss on depreciated property, acquisition expenses, non-cash share compensation expense, non-cash changes in fair value, and other normalizing items. We consider EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre important measures because they provide additional information to allow management, investors, and our current and potential creditors to evaluate and compare our core operating results and our ability to service debt.
