EXHIBIT 99.2 [HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST LOGO] NEWS RELEASE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact: Scott W. Holmes, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, (615) 269-8175 HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS NASHVILLE, Tennessee January 27, 2005 -- Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (NYSE:HR) today announced results for the fourth quarter that ended December 31, 2004. Revenues for the fourth quarter totaled $62.9 million, compared with the prior year's $48.8 million. Net income for the period was $16.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, versus $16.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2003. Funds from operations ("FFO"), calculated according to the definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and comprised primarily of net income and depreciation from real estate, totaled $31.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2004, compared with $29.0 million for the same period in 2003. FFO per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2004 totaled $0.67, compared with $0.69 for the fourth quarter of 2003. Prior to asset impairment charges totaling $606 thousand, FFO per diluted common share was $0.69 for the fourth quarter of 2004. A reconciliation of FFO to net income follows. Revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 totaled $227.2 million compared with the prior year's $184.2 million. Net income for the twelve-month period was $63.4 million, or $1.42 per diluted common share, versus $70.5 million, or $1.69 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2003. FFO totaled $118.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, compared with $114.0 million for the same period ended December 31, 2003. FFO per diluted common share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 was $2.65, versus $2.73 for the same period in 2003. Prior to asset impairment charges totaling $1.2 million, FFO per diluted common share was $2.68 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The decline in net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004 is largely related to the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 141 in accounting for the acquisition of approximately $299 million in real estate operations during 2004. FASB Statement No. 141 requires that the purchase price of these real estate operations be allocated between the land, the physical building as if the building was vacant when acquired, the lease intangible assets, the goodwill, and the customer relationship assets acquired. The purchase price allocated to the lease intangible assets is amortized over the remaining lease term, typically one to five years, compared to the estimated depreciable life of the building of 39 years. The majority of the lease intangible amortization is charged to amortization expense and, because it is accelerated, has reduced net income more significantly for the current year than prior years due to the increased volume of acquisitions. Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 also included a non-cash amortization charge of $2.4 million during the third quarter of 2004, as discussed in the Form 10-Q for the third quarter. Further, net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004 includes impairment charges of $606 thousand and $1.2 million, respectively, related to the dispositions of real estate assets including the non-cash write-off of straight line rent receivables.

("NAREIT"). NAREIT defines FFO as the most commonly accepted and reported measure of a REIT's operating performance equal to "net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures." Management believes FFO and FFO per share to be important supplemental measures of a REIT's performance because they provide an understanding of the operating performance of the Company's properties without giving effect to significant non-cash items, primarily depreciation of real estate. Management uses FFO and FFO per share to compare and evaluate its own operating results from period to period, and to monitor the operating results of the Company's peers in the REIT industry. The Company reports FFO and FFO per share because these measures are observed by management to also be the predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to evaluate REITs; furthermore, because FFO per share is consistently and regularly reported, discussed and compared by research analysts in their notes and publications about REITs; and finally, because research analysts publish their earnings estimates and consensus estimates for healthcare REITs only in terms of fully-diluted FFO per share and not in terms of net income or earnings per share. For these reasons, management has deemed it appropriate to disclose and discuss FFO and FFO per share. However, FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. (2) During the third quarter of 2004, the Company concluded that certain amendments related to retirement provisions in the employment agreements of certain officers that were effective as of January 1, 2000 impacted the measurement dates and amortization periods related to the restricted stock of those officers. In the third quarter of 2004, the Company adjusted its non-cash amortization of the restricted stock for these officers resulting in a $2.4 million adjustment. Net income includes non-cash deferred compensation, including the $2.4 million adjustment, of $885 thousand and $686 thousand, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and $5.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Further, net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004 includes impairment charges of $606 thousand and $1.2 million, respectively, related to the disposition of real estate assets including the non-cash write-off of straight line rent receivables.
