Milwaukee, WI —May 7, 2015 — 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

John Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust, commented, “We continued to execute our growth strategy during the first quarter by adding 23 high quality healthcare facilities to our portfolio with an aggregate value of $234.1 million. We continue to focus on the growth and quality of our cash flow and dividend coverage and are very proud of the quarterly normalized FFO of $0.20 per share achieved during the first quarter, an increase of 67% over the first quarter of 2014.  Total revenue for the first quarter of 2015 was $24.5 million, compared to $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 205%.  We are excited about our growth trajectory and our team’s execution and ability to source premium healthcare providers and their facilities, as we strive to become the leading owner of high quality healthcare facilities in the US.  Our most recent acquisitions include medical office buildings, including ambulatory surgery centers, operated by affiliates of four of the largest healthcare systems in the United States.  These acquisitions reflect our focus on the future of healthcare delivery, as we believe more and more care will be delivered in an outpatient setting, by large well operated physician groups and health systems. “

“With Jeff Theiler’s leadership, we remained focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet, which will enable us to capitalize on our acquisition pipeline and support long-term growth.  In January, we successfully completed our largest follow on equity offering in the Company’s history, raising $297.7 million in net proceeds.  We continue to manage our debt and operations towards the goal of earning an investment grade rating during 2015, which we believe would further fuel our vision to build a great and long lasting company with a reliable dividend that we can grow over time.  We will achieve our vision by partnering with the highest quality healthcare providers, as they serve their patients and visitors in these facilities.”

First Quarter Financial Results

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2015 were $24.5 million, an increase of 205% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Rental revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $20.3 million, an increase of 199% from the same period in 2014, resulting from the expansion of the Company’s portfolio to 109 properties totaling 3,993,783 square feet.  As of March 31, 2015, the portfolio was 94.6% leased. On a pro forma basis, if all of the 2015 first quarter acquisitions occurred on the first day of the first quarter, rental revenues would have increased by an additional $3.2 million, to a pro forma total of $23.5 million.

Total expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were $24.9 million, compared to $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2014, or an increase of 115%. The increase in expenses was the result of a $5.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a $4.1 million

increase in operating expenses, a $1.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses, a $0.4 million increase in interest expenses, and a $1.6 million increase in acquisition related expenses. On a pro forma basis, if all of the 2015 first quarter acquisitions occurred on the first day of the first quarter, depreciation and amortization expense and operating expenses would have increased by an additional $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2015 was $0.4 million, compared to a net loss of $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2014.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2015 was $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share based on 65.6 million weighted average shares outstanding.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the first quarter of 2015, consisted of net loss plus $8.2 million of depreciation and amortization, or $0.11 per diluted share. Normalized FFO, which adds back $5.9 million of acquisition expenses was $13.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share.

Normalized Funds available for distribution (FAD) for the first quarter of 2015, 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, recurring capital expenditures and seller master lease and rent abatement payments, was $12.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share for the first quarter 2015.

As previously announced, the Company declared a dividend of $0.225 per share for the first quarter. The dividend was paid on May 1, 2015 to shareholders of record on April 17, 2015.

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 and includes cash payments from seller master leases and rent abatement payments. 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.
