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 second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

John T. Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust, commented, “We continued to execute our growth strategy during the second quarter by adding 14 high quality healthcare investments to our portfolio with an aggregate value of $157 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 $0.21 per share and unit achieved during the second quarter, an increase of 23.5% over the second quarter of 2014. Total revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $29.7 million, compared to $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 159%. We are excited about our growth trajectory and our team’s execution and ability to source premium healthcare providers and their facilities. The facilities we have purchased during the second quarter align our fast-growing REIT with forward-thinking physician groups, positioning themselves to deliver the highest quality healthcare in an evolving consolidating U.S. healthcare system. The IMS Phoenix portfolio, discussed in further detail below, is another powerful example of large primarily on-campus physician-developed and owned medical office facilities occupied by primary care, specialists and healthcare systems on the leading edge of the rapid expansion of outpatient healthcare delivery, providing higher quality, in more efficient, lower cost settings.”

Mr. Thomas continued, “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. Since our Initial Public Offering just two short years ago, we have made a commitment to keeping a strong balance sheet with a goal of reaching investment grade as quickly as possible. This week, Moody’s Investor Services recognized Physicians Realty Trust with a Baa3 Investment Grade Rating. This rating serves as a testament to the leadership of our Board, our team’s hard work, and the size and quality of our tenant base and portfolio. With our recently expanded $750 million credit line facility, low leverage, and now an Investment Grade Rating, we are well positioned to continue our high rate of growth and pursuit of excellence in healthcare medical office facilities.”

Second Quarter Financial Results

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2015 were $29.7 million, an increase of 159% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Rental revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015, were $23.6 million, an increase of 131% from the same period in 2014, resulting from the expansion of the Company’s portfolio to 122 properties totaling 4,454,640 square feet. As of June 30, 2015, the portfolio was 94.6% leased. On a pro forma basis, if all of the 2015 second quarter acquisitions occurred on the first day of the second quarter, rental revenues would have increased by an additional $1.8 million, to a pro forma total of $31.5 million.

Total expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $26.4 million, compared to $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2014, or an increase of 119%. The increase in expenses was the result of a $6.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a $5.1 million increase in operating expenses, a $1.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses, a $0.5 million increase in interest expenses, and a $0.5 million increase in acquisition related expenses. On a pro forma basis, if all of the 2015 second quarter acquisitions occurred on the first day of the second quarter, depreciation and amortization expense and operating expenses would have increased by an additional $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $3.3 million, compared to a net loss of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2014.

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2015 was $2.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share based on 74.3 million weighted average shares outstanding.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the second quarter of 2015 consisted of net income plus $10.4 million of depreciation and amortization, less $0.4 million of preferred distributions, resulting in $0.18 per diluted share. Normalized FFO, which adds back $2.6 million of acquisition expenses, was $15.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share.

Normalized funds available for distribution (FAD) for the second 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 $15.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share for the second quarter 2015.

As previously announced, the Company declared a dividend of $0.225 per share for the second quarter. The dividend was paid on July 31, 2015, to shareholders of record on July 17, 2015.

Physicians Realty Trust Achieves Investment Grade Rating

Moody’s announced on August 6, 2015, that it has provided an investment grade rating of Baa3 to Physicians Realty Trust. Moody’s noted the Company’s access to capital, conservative financial profile, and good quality portfolio of healthcare assets as justifications for its rating.

The investment grade credit rating by Moody’s should significantly increase the Company’s access to the debt capital markets and decrease its overall cost of capital.

Appointment of Deeni Taylor to Executive Vice President - Investments

The Company announced today that it has named Deeni Taylor to the newly created position of Executive Vice President-Investments, effective October 1, 2015. Mr. Taylor will report directly to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, John T. Thomas.

Mr. Thomas commented, “Deeni Taylor is one of the most respected executives in the healthcare and medical office industry, with healthcare industry relationships across the United States. Deeni, similar to John Sweet and me, is a healthcare professional who entered healthcare real estate investment and development. He has been a good friend, competitor and colleague for many years. We could not be more excited to have Deeni bring his leadership, relationships, experience and reputation to Physicians Realty Trust. As we have grown from $124 million in real estate assets at the time of our IPO, to just over $1.3 billion today, we are confident Deeni can help lead us to even greater growth and high quality medical office facility investments with his and our relationships. Deeni will work closely with John Sweet, our EVP-Chief Investment Officer, and will assume the additional title of Chief Investment Officer upon John Sweet’s retirement as CIO.”

Deeni Taylor comes to the Company from Indianapolis-based Duke Realty, Inc. (NYSE:DRE), where Deeni served as an Executive Vice President helping to lead Duke’s healthcare team since he joined that firm in 2006.

Prior to that, Deeni worked for St. Joseph Hospital in Augusta, Georgia, where he served as Vice President Ancillary Services.

He is a member of the Healthcare Real Estate Insights Editorial Board and a past Diplomat in American College of Healthcare Executives.

Mr. Taylor stated, “Physicians Realty Trust provides me the opportunity to join Governor Tommy Thompson, John Thomas, John Sweet and the team to continue my career with a fast-growing relationship-driven healthcare real estate organization. Physicians Realty shares my passion for improving healthcare and helping physicians, hospitals and other providers to make a difference in the lives of their patients and patients’ families. I am looking forward to helping to lead Physicians Realty Trust, with a particular focus on investments in high quality medical office facilities across the United States.”

Integrated Medical Services (IMS), Phoenix, Arizona – Executed Purchase and Sale Agreements

The Company also announced today the execution of four separate Purchase, Sale and Contribution Agreements for a portfolio of four medical office facilities totaling 406,894 square feet. The facilities are owned by physician members of Integrated Medical Services (“IMS”), a physician-led multi-specialty organization providing primary care and most specialties throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area. IMS recently announced a new strategic alignment with Dignity Health in Arizona focused on expanding access to quality health care in Arizona. The two organizations will work together to introduce new and innovative physician alignment activities aimed at meaningfully growing an integrated health care delivery network across Arizona. As part of the agreement, IMS will join the Arizona Care Network, an accountable care organization led by Dignity Health and Abrazo Health, a controlled affiliate of Tenet Health (NYSE:THC).

The aggregate purchase price for the four IMS facilities is approximately $141 million, payable in cash, which equates to a first year unleveraged cash yield of 6.6%. The four facilities are currently 96% leased in aggregate with IMS leasing 67% of the portfolio square footage, hospital systems leasing 23%, and independent physicians/providers leasing 6% of the rentable square footage. Three of the facilities are located on the campus of a major hospital serving the Phoenix population and the fourth building is located in a primary outpatient care location, convenient to the IMS physicians located in the facility, and the patients they serve. The off-campus facility includes an ambulatory surgery center owned and managed by United Surgical Partners, Inc., an affiliate of Tenet Health in partnership with physicians that perform outpatient surgery at the facility. The facilities are not encumbered by any debt and have a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 9 years. The acquisition is subject to the receipt of lease extensions, waivers of rights of first refusal for two of the buildings, and customary conditions to closing, including accuracy of representations and warranties and performance of covenants.

John Thomas, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “IMS is a leading physician managed organization, focused on innovative care models to meet the current and future needs of their patients. We are proud to partner with a forward-thinking group like IMS who took the initiative to develop these four high quality medical office buildings, strategically located to improve their patients' access to care. We couldn't be more pleased to enter into this agreement and we look forward to working closely with IMS as they continue to grow and further the objectives of the Arizona Care Network, Dignity Health and Abrazo Health.”

John Dover, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer for IMS, stated, “We started IMS in 2006, when several community physicians determined that they could provide better patient care and gain efficiency by practicing together rather than separately. From there, our group has grown to approximately 140 providers and 65 locations. We are excited about partnering with Physicians Realty Trust, with our four primary facilities that we built and owned ourselves, and look forward to working with them for many years to come.”

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.
