Milwaukee, WI —November 12, 2014 — Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE: DOC) (the “Company,” the “Trust,” “we,” “our” and “us”), a self-managed healthcare real estate investment trust, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

John Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust, commented, “This quarter was one of our most successful quarters to date, as we were able to add 16 high quality properties to our portfolio with an aggregate value of $226 million. Including these newly acquired buildings, our portfolio has grown from $124 million in assets at our IPO just over 1 year ago to more than $700 million today.   We are excited about our growth trajectory and our team’s execution as we work to become one of the leading owners of high quality medical properties in the US.”

“With Jeff Theiler’s leadership, we continue to make progress towards building a strong balance sheet, which will enable us to capitalize on our acquisition pipeline and support long-term growth.  In addition to implementing a new $150 million at-the-market equity program, we successfully completed a follow on equity offering in September, raising $145.7 million in net proceeds.  On the lending side, Jeff worked closely with our banking relationships to establish a new $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which significantly reduces our cost of borrowing and increases our financial flexibility.  We believe these enhancements to our capital structure will help us continue to grow our portfolio of high quality medical office buildings and create sustainable shareholder value along the way.”

Mr. Thomas concluded, “We are also very excited about joining the MSCI US REIT Index at the close of business on November 25, 2014.  It is quite an accomplishment to become part of this index so soon after our IPO in July 2013. It’s a testament to our commitment and plans to grow our portfolio and create shareholder value through reliable rising dividends for the long-term.”

Third Quarter Financial Results(1)

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were $14.2 million, an increase of 279.8% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $12.5 million, an increase of 328.3% from the same period in 2013, owing to the expansion of the Company’s portfolio to 64 properties totaling 2,524,950 square feet, of which 95.4% were leased as of September 30, 2014. On a pro forma basis as if all of the 2014 third quarter acquisitions occurred on the first day of the third quarter of 2014, rental revenues would have increased by an additional $3.6 million, to a pro forma total of $16.1 million.

Total expenses for the third quarter 2014 were $16.5 million, an increase of 220.3% or $11.3 million, compared to the third quarter of 2013.  The increase in expenses was the result of a $3.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a $3.2 million increase in general and administrative expense which included a $1.8 million amendment payment on our shared services agreement, a $2.2 million increase in acquisition related expenses, a $1.4 million increase in operating expenses, and a $1.1 million increase in interest expense. On a pro forma basis as if all of the 2014 third quarter acquisitions occurred on the first day of the third quarter of 2014, depreciation and amortization expense and operating expenses would have increased by an additional $1.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2014 was $2.3 million, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2013.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2014 was $2.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share based on 36.3 million weighted average shares outstanding.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the third quarter 2014, comprised of net loss plus $4.4 million of depreciation and amortization and $0.2 million of other property related add-backs, were $2.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. Normalized FFO, which adds back $2.9 million of acquisition expenses and the $1.8 million one-time shared services amendment payment, was $7.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share.

Normalized Funds available for distribution (FAD) for the third quarter 2014, which consists of normalized FFO adjusted for non-cash share compensation, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired above-market leases, amortization of lease inducements, amortization of deferred financing fees and recurring capital expenditures, was $7.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the third quarter 2014.

Physicians Realty Trust

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

 (In thousands, except share and per share data)

This press release includes Funds From Operations, or FFO, and Normalized Funds Available For Distribution, or FAD, which are non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of the SEC’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/loss available to common share and unit holders, 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 share and unit holders excluding the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation and certain revenue and expense items identified in the table 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 the Company.

The Company defines Normalized FAD, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes from Normalized FFO, non-cash compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired above or below market leases, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of lease inducements. The Company believes Normalized FAD provides a meaningful supplemental measure of its ability to fund its ongoing distributions. Normalized FAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss attributable to controlling interest (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s liquidity. Normalized FAD should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
