(NYSE/HCN) today announced operating results for the second quarter of 1999 and six months ending June 30, 1999. Funds from operations (FFO), the generally accepted measure of operating performance for the real estate investment trust industry, achieved a record level of $19.7 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 1999, a 9.5 percent per share increase from $16.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the same period in 1998. Revenues for the quarter increased 41 percent to $32.5 million from $23.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 1999 totaled $15.8 million, or $0.56 per diluted share as compared with net income available to common shareholders of $13.9 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the same period in 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, FFO achieved a record level of $38.7 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, an 8.8 percent per share increase from $31.5 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, for the same period in 1998. Revenues for the six month period increased 38 percent to $61.3 million from $44.4 million a year ago. Net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 1999 totaled $32 million, or $1.13 per diluted share as compared with net income available to common shareholders of $27.3 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, for the same period in 1998. In addition, the company announced that upon a review of its operating results and financial condition, the Board of Directors voted to declare a dividend for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, of $0.57 per share as compared with $0.55 per share for the same period in 1998. The dividend is a one-half cent increase from the dividend paid for the first quarter of 1999 and represents the 113th consecutive dividend payment. The dividend will be payable August 20, 1999, to shareholders of record on August 3, 1999. Revenue growth was generated primarily by new investment activity in 1998 and the first six months of 1999, of $397.5 million and $199.2 million, respectively. Investment activity contributed to a 33 percent increase in total assets, which at June 30, 1999, totaled $1.2 billion as compared with total assets of $927 million at June 30, 1998. -18- 2 Dividend payments to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 1999, totaled $16 million, or $0.565 per share, as compared with dividend payments of $13.8 million, or $0.545 per share for the same period in 1998. Correspondingly, the FFO payout ratio for the second quarter of 1999 was 82 percent as compared with a FFO payout ratio of 86 percent for the three months ended June 30, 1998, evidence of the company's commitment to reduce its FFO payout ratio to a level below 80 percent during the next 12 months. "The second quarter and year-to-date operating results exceeded management's targets and were supported by strong portfolio performance," commented George L. Chapman, chairman and chief executive officer. "During the past 12 months, the health care sector has been under a dark cloud of uncertainty that has taken a toll on operating company stocks and the stock valuations of health care REITs. The major factors include changes in Medicare reimbursement, the well-publicized difficulties of certain skilled nursing operators adjusting to the new reimbursement system and potential overbuilding in the assisted living sector. "We believe the company is well positioned relative to its skilled nursing and assisted living investments," added Chapman. "Skilled nursing facilities represent less than 25 percent of the company's total investments and the operators of these properties have demonstrated success in managing the changes to Medicare reimbursement. While we expect property level coverage ratios to compress slightly in the near term, facility-based revenues and operating margins remain strong and should be more than adequate to meet the company's scheduled lease and interest payments. The changes in Medicare reimbursement should not impact the company's revenue, cash flow or earnings. "Health Care REIT was the first REIT to invest in the assisted living sector. We believe the current national demand for assisted living is strong and that long-term demand will outstrip supply in the aggregate. However, local overbuilding is a basic real estate risk component that we manage carefully. The company has mitigated the risk of local over-supply by creating a national portfolio that benefits from a high degree of tenant/operator diversification, significant security features, and strong underwriting and monitoring procedures. As a result, our assisted living properties have generally met management's underwriting targets for fill-up, occupancy and coverage. "We believe long-term care (skilled nursing, assisted living and retirement facilities) is a local product best served by local and regional health care operators. Our company has a 29-year track record of financing and supporting well-capitalized emerging health care operators. The current and historical performance of the company's portfolio is a direct result of our active asset management approach and the conservative nature of our investment process. We expect continued success throughout the balance of 1999." Health Care REIT, Inc., with headquarters in Toledo, Ohio, is a real estate investment trust that invests in health care facilities, primarily nursing homes, assisted living facilities and retirement centers. At June 30, 1999, the company had investments in 239 health care facilities in 35 states and had total assets of approximately $1.2 billion.
