UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST
REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2006 EARNINGS
KING OF PRUSSIA, PA- Universal Health Realty Income Trust (NYSE:UHT) announced today that for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, net income was $7.1 million, or $.60 per diluted share, as compared to $5.2 million, or $.44 per diluted share, for the same quarter in the prior year. Favorably impacting net income during the fourth quarter of 2006 is the recognition of a gain of $2.7 million, or $.23 per diluted share, on the previously announced Chalmette Medical Center (“Chalmette”) asset exchange and substitution transaction dated July 21, 2006. Favorably impacting net income during the fourth quarter of 2005 was a gain of $750,000, or $.06 per diluted share, related to the recovery of replacement costs of real estate assets at Wellington Regional Medical Center (“Wellington”) that were damaged by hurricanes Frances and Jeanne during 2004.
Funds from operations (“FFO”) were $7.1 million and FFO per diluted share were $.60 in both three month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The fourth quarter dividend of $.57 per share was paid on December 29, 2006.
For the full year ended December 31, 2006, net income was $34.7 million, or $2.92 per diluted share, as compared to $25.4 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, during the prior year. Included in net income during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006 is the recognition of a previously deferred gain of $1.9 million, or $.16 per diluted share, resulting from the sale of our interest in an unconsolidated limited liability company (“LLC”). Also included is a gain of $14.0 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, on the Chalmette asset exchange and substitution transaction. Net income was unfavorably impacted during 2006 by $350,000, or $.03 per diluted share, as a result of the following items recorded during the third quarter of 2006: (i) our share of a charge incurred by an unconsolidated LLC to write-off unamortized financing costs in connection with the refinancing of third-party debt, and; (ii) the write-off of a tenant receivable at one of our medical office buildings that was deemed uncollectible. Included in net income during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2005 was a gain of $1.0 million, or $.09 per diluted share, resulting from the sale of real property by an unconsolidated LLC and a gain of $4.7 million, or $.40 per diluted share, related to the recovery of replacement costs of real estate assets at Wellington that were damaged by hurricanes during 2004.
For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006, FFO were $28.9 million, or $2.44 per diluted share, as compared to $29.2 million, or $2.47 per diluted share, during the prior year twelve month period. Negatively impacting FFO during 2006 are the items mentioned above totaling approximately $350,000, or $.03 per diluted share.
As a result of the expiration of the master lease arrangements between subsidiaries of Universal Health Services, Inc., and two LLCs in which we own non-controlling ownership interests of 95% and 99%, during the fourth quarter of 2006, we began recording the financial results of these LLCs on an unconsolidated basis. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2006, these LLCs were included in our financial results on a consolidated basis in accordance with Financial Interpretation No. 46R – Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, (“FIN 46R”). Accordingly, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2006, the revenues and expenses of these LLCs are no longer included in our consolidated revenues and expenses, but instead, the net income generated from each of these LLCs is included in our consolidated statements of income as “Equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs”. The revenues and expenses for these LLCs related to the periods prior to September 30, 2006 are included in our revenues and expenses on our consolidated statements of income. For comparative purposes, during the corresponding months of 2005 (representing the same months that these facilities are recorded on an unconsolidated basis during 2006), these entities generated approximately $986,000 of revenue, $194,000 of depreciation and amortization expense, $494,000 of other operating expenses and $197,000 of interest expense. There was no impact on our net income as a result of recording these LLCs on an unconsolidated basis.
At December 31, 2006, our shareholders’ equity was $164.2 million and our liabilities for borrowed funds were $26.3 million. Included in our liabilities for borrowed funds was mortgage debt of consolidated entities, which is non-recourse to us, totaling $12.7 million. As of December 31, 2006, the assets, liabilities, third-party borrowings (which are non-recourse to us) and the minority interests of the two LLCs mentioned above, are included in “Investments in and advances to LLCs” on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2005, these entities had combined third-party borrowings, which are non-recourse to us, of $12.5 million.
Subsequent to year-end, we entered into a new $100 million unsecured non-amortizing revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) which matures on January 19, 2012. The new Credit Agreement replaces our $80 million revolving credit agreement which was scheduled to mature on May 28, 2007. The new Credit Agreement includes improved pricing as well as a $50 million sub-limit for letters of credit.
Universal Health Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust, invests in healthcare and human service related facilities including acute care hospitals, behavioral healthcare facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, sub-acute care facilities, surgery centers, childcare centers and medical office buildings. We have forty-five real estate investments in fifteen states.
Funds from operations, is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. Although FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, we believe that information regarding FFO is helpful to
shareholders and potential investors. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) as a measure of our liquidity; (iv) nor is FFO an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. A reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO is shown below.
