Milwaukee, WI —November 6, 2013 — Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE: DOC) (“the Company”), a self-managed healthcare real estate company today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

 

John Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Following the successful completion of our initial public offering in July, we immediately began putting the

 



 

proceeds to work and acquired five properties during the third quarter and one property subsequent to the end of the quarter resulting in transactions totaling $118.2 million to date.  In line with our strategy, all of these properties were sourced through relationships with the providers who deliver care in the facilities and are subject to long-term leases, further enhancing our reliable and predictable future income from these acquisitions.  Many of these providers have additional opportunities for expansion and we expect to have the opportunity to continue to make accretive investments with them in the future.”

 

“Looking ahead, with a strong balance sheet, conservative debt structure and access to capital, we are well positioned to take advantage of attractive opportunities to further grow our portfolio of healthcare facilities. In particular, our focus will remain on markets with positive underlying fundamentals and properties that have strong healthcare provider anchor tenants or hospital affiliations, so that we can provide reliable dividends and total shareholder returns.  Our initial portfolio of properties and success rapidly deploying our IPO proceeds into stable, long-term investments enabled us to declare and pay our first quarterly dividend of $0.225 per share, which was prorated to $0.18 per share for the 73 day period as a publicly traded company ending on September 30, 2013. Given our stable, long-term leases with an average lease term of 8.58 years, and a strong pipeline of investment opportunities we plan to pursue in the near future, we believe this dividend is at a level we can support and increase over the long term as we continue to grow our portfolio of properties and realize the built-in annual increases in rent through our long term leases.”

 

Third Quarter Financial Results(1)

 

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2013 were $3.7 million, an increase of 19.4% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, total revenues were $10.4 million, an increase of 8.3% from the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Rental revenues for the three-months ended September 30, 2013 were $2.9 million, an increase of 23.8% from the same period in 2012, owing to the expansion of the Company’s portfolio of properties to 24 totaling 829,497 square feet, of which 90.3% is leased as of September 30, 2013. On a pro forma basis as if the third quarter acquisitions occurred on the first day of the quarter, rental revenues would have increased by an additional $2.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, rental revenues were $8.0 million, an increase of 7.5% from the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Expense recoveries were $0.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, an increase of 6.4% from the third quarter of 2012, due primarily to the new triple

 


(1)   Third quarter 2013 results reflect operations of the predecessor Ziegler Funds from July 1, 2013 to July 23, 2013 and operations of the Company from July 24, 2013 to September 30, 2013. Results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 reflect the operations of the predecessor from January 1, 2013 to July 23, 2013 and operations of the Company from July 24, 2013 to September 30, 2013. Comparative financial results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 reflect the operations of the predecessor. The predecessor was not a legal entity but rather a combination of real estate entities under common control by The Ziegler Companies, Inc. and represents results prior to completion of our IPO and our ownership of the properties in our initial portfolio.

 



 

net leases signed during the quarter. Expense recoveries for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 were $2.4 million, an increase of 11.5% from the prior year period.

 

Total expenses for the third quarter 2013 were $4.3 million, an increase of 67%  or $1.7 million, compared to the third quarter of 2012.  The increase in expenses resulted from building out the infrastructure as a public company ($0.6 million in payroll/benefits, $0.2 million in professional fees and $0.1 million in other administration costs) and $0.8 million of expenses related to investment acquisition costs.  On a pro forma basis as if the third quarter acquisitions occurred on the first day of the quarter, depreciation and amortization and interest expense would have increased by an additional $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

 

Net loss for the third quarter of 2013 was $1.4 million compared to net income of the Company’s predecessor of $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2012.

 

Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter 2013 was $1.2 million, or a loss of $0.10 per diluted share based on 11.5 million weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Funds from operations (FFO) for the third quarter 2013, comprised of net loss plus depreciation and amortization, were negative $0.3 million, or ($0.02) per diluted share. Normalized FFO, which adds back acquisition expenses, was $0.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share.

 

Funds available for distribution (FAD) for the third quarter 2013, which consists of normalized FFO adjusted for non-cash share compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments and amortization of deferred financing fees, was $0.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share.

 

As previously announced, the Company declared a dividend of $0.18 per share which is equivalent to a full quarterly dividend of $0.225 per share for the partial quarterly period beginning on July 19, 2013, the date of the Company’s initial public offering, and ending on September 30, 2013.  The dividend was payable on November 1, 2013, to shareholders of record on October 18, 2013.

 

Recent Acquisitions

 

Since September 30, 2013, the Company has completed one acquisition that closed during October 2013.

 

The Company’s Operating Partnership purchased a medical office building and adjacent ambulatory surgery center located in Pensacola, FL for a total purchase price of $6,850,000 in cash. The two buildings are leased to Pain Consultants of West Florida and their ambulatory surgery center operator, Cornerstone Surgicare, L.L.C., under a 15-year absolute net lease. The purchase price was paid from borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility.

 



 

John W. Sweet, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer stated, “We are very impressed by Dr. Kurt Krueger and the strategic location of these facilities in the vibrant Pensacola market.  These buildings were purchased from a medical developer that has been working with Dr. Krueger’s practice. This developer has a deep pipeline of physician relationships and projects under construction across the country, and we look forward to expanding our relationship to secure other growth opportunities for Physicians Realty Trust.”

This press release includes Funds From Operations, or FFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. For purposes of the Securities and Exchange Commission’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, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

 



 

The Company calculates and reports FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and consequently, FFO is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization and impairments on real estate assets. The Company believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure of its operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. The term FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue. FFO described herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO of other real estate investment trusts, or REITs, that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from the Company.

 

The Company uses FFO as one of several criteria to measure the operating performance of its business. The Company further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairments on real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. The Company offers this measure to assist the users of its financial statements in analyzing its performance; however, this is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net income or an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in the Company’s securities should not rely on this measure as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

 

Normalized FFO is calculated as FFO available to common shareholders excluding the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation and certain revenue and expense items identified above. The Company believes that Normalized FFO provides an enhanced measure of the operating performance of the Company’s core portfolio as a REIT. The Company’s computation of Normalized FFO is not comparable to the NAREIT definition of FFO or to similar measures reported by other REITs, but the Company believes it is an appropriate measure for this Company.
