MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC. REPORTS RESULTS
FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2005
BIRMINGHAM, AL., August 9, 2005 - Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (NYSE:MPW)
today announced its operating and other results for the quarter ended June 30,
2005. Today's announcement is the first earnings report since MPT completed its
initial public offering of common stock and listed on the New York Stock
Exchange on July 7, 2005. During the first half of 2004, the Company was in its
formation stage and did not have significant operations; accordingly, year
earlier periods are not comparable and not included in today's announcement.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS:
o Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $4.38
million or approximately $0.17 per diluted share, an increase
of approximately $0.03, or approximately 23% over 2005's first
quarter results.
o Funds from operations ("FFO") for the quarter were $5.35
million or approximately $0.20 per basic and diluted share, an
increase of approximately $0.04, or approximately 21% over
2005's first quarter results. FFO is a non-GAAP financial
measure within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Management considers FFO a useful
additional measure of performance for an equity REIT because
it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance
of the Company's properties without giving effect to
depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of
real estate diminishes predictably over time. A reconciliation
of this non-GAAP financial measure to net income is included
in the accompanying financial tables.
o For each of the four calendar quarters in the period ended
June 30, 2005, the Company paid dividends of $0.10, $0.11,
$0.11, and $0.16, respectively. The Company expects to
continue declaring quarterly dividends generally in the second
month of each calendar quarter. MPT's Board is expected to
consider payment of 2005's third quarter dividend at its next
regular meeting.
o In the 12 months ended June 30, 2005, MPT has closed on
existing and development healthcare assets with an aggregate
investment amount of approximately $363 million. Management is
presently negotiating the acquisition of approximately $58
million in existing healthcare facilities and $72 million in
development projects, all of which it expects to close in the
second half of 2005. In addition, management is in earlier
stages of negotiation on other existing facilities, and
expects to close approximately $50 million of these properties
in the second half of 2005.
o The Company completed its initial public offering of common
stock and received net proceeds of approximately $129 million.
With this issuance of shares, MPT's total equity market
capitalization based on NYSE trading on Tuesday, August 9 was
approximately $390 million, making it one of the largest REITs
to focus primarily on hospital real estate.
MPT's Chairman, President and CEO, Edward K. Aldag, Jr. commented on the recent
activities, "July's IPO was a significant step in MPT's short history. In little
more than a year since our April 2004 private offering, we have made and
committed to make over $400 million in healthcare real estate investments. The
average cash yield on these investments approximates 10.3% and will increase in
each year of our leases. As we place debt on these properties, we can expect to
earn leveraged returns exceeding 13 - 14%."
Aldag added his appreciation for IPO bookrunner and lead underwriter Friedman
Billings Ramsey, "Eric Billings and FBR have supported MPT since its inception.
I am very thankful for the confidence they have shown in MPT over the last three
years. I am also very thankful for the other underwriters involved in our IPO,
JP Morgan, Wachovia Securities and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company. The quality of
this underwriting group is extremely impressive and we are honored to have had
them all involved."
FUTURE OPERATIONS:
Based on management's estimates of acquisitions in 2005's second half (described
above), the Company presently expects net income for the second half of 2005 to
range between $0.32 and $0.36 per diluted common share, and FFO to range between
$0.36 and $0.41 per share. Over the course of calendar year 2006, management
expects to acquire between $200 and $300 million of healthcare real estate. The
Company's estimates of future results are based upon management's present
estimates of acquisitions, and there is no assurance that some or any of the
anticipated acquisitions will occur.
Management expects to close a $100 million revolving credit facility in late
August to replace an existing $75 million facility; in addition, MPT has
approximately $43 million in available credit pursuant to a construction loan.
Taking into account MPT's existing debt and cash balances, the Company has
liquidity in excess of $230 million. Aldag commented on MPT's resources, "In
addition to the $230 million available to us, we expect to have additional
borrowing capacity of approximately $175 million, which provides aggregate
resources to invest of over $400 million in new acquisitions and in facilities
currently under development. We continue to see a strong pipeline of quality
projects across the country that meet MPT's underwriting and yield
requirements."
The Company also announced that its 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be
held on October 12, 2005 at 10:00 a.m., Central Time in Birmingham, Alabama.

Funds from operations, or FFO, represents net income (computed in accordance
with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate
related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan
origination costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
joint ventures. Management considers funds from operations a useful additional
measure of performance for an equity REIT 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 predictably over time. Since real estate
values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that
funds from operations provides a meaningful supplemental indication of our
performance. We compute funds from operations in accordance with standards
established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in
November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for
calculating funds from operations utilized by other equity REITs and,
accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent
amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital
replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and
uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs,
including our ability to make distributions. Funds from operations should not be
considered as 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.
