KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Oct. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Health Realty Income Trust (NYSE: UHT) announced today that for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, reported net income was $3.6 million, or $.27 per diluted share, as compared to $28.1 million, or $2.18 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2014.

Included in our reported results during the third quarter of 2014 was a $25.1 million gain ($1.95 per diluted share) from the fair value recognition resulting from the purchase of minority interests in six majority-owned limited liability companies ("LLCs"), offset by $198,000 ($.02 per diluted share) of transaction costs incurred during the quarter. After neutralizing the impact of these items, as calculated on the attached Schedule of Non-GAAP Supplemental Information ("Supplemental Schedule"), our adjusted net income increased $393,000, or $.02 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the third quarter of 2014. Contributing to the increase in net income during the third quarter of 2015 was the income generated at properties acquired during 2015.

As calculated on the Supplemental Schedule, our adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO"), which excludes the impact of gains, depreciation and amortization incurred by us and our unconsolidated affiliates, and transaction costs, were $9.4 million, or $.71 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2015, as compared to $8.9 million, or $.69 per diluted share during the third quarter of 2014.

Consolidated Results of Operations - Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, reported net income was $19.3 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, as compared to $35.3 million, or $2.74 per diluted share, during the comparable nine-month period of 2014.

Included in our net income during the first nine months of 2015 was an $8.7 million gain ($.66 per diluted share) recorded in connection with a property exchange transaction, as discussed below. Included in our net income during the first nine months of 2014 was an aggregate $25.4 million gain ($1.97 per diluted share) on fair value recognition resulting from the purchase of minority interests in majority-owned LLCs. As reflected on the attached Supplemental Schedule, after adjusting the reported results for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, for the impact of the gains and transaction costs recorded during each period, our adjusted net income increased $586,000, or $.02 per diluted share, during the first nine months of 2015 as compared to the first nine months of 2014. Contributing to the increase in net income during the first nine months of 2015 was the income generated at properties acquired during 2015.

As calculated on the Supplemental Schedule, our AFFO were $28.6 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, during the first nine months of 2015, as compared to $26.7 million, or $2.07 per diluted share, during the first nine months of 2014.

Dividend Information:

The third quarter dividend of $.64 per share was paid on September 30, 2015.

Capital Resources Information:

At September 30, 2015, we had $114.4 million of borrowings outstanding pursuant to the terms of our $185 million revolving credit agreement and $65.5 million of available borrowing capacity, net of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.

Property Exchange Transaction:

In May, 2015, in exchange for the real property of Sheffield Medical Building ("Sheffield"), a 73,446 square foot medical office building ("MOB") located in Atlanta, Georgia, we received, from an unrelated party, $2 million in cash and the real property of two MOBs located in Sandy Springs and Vinings, Georgia. In connection with the two MOBs acquired in this transaction, triple net, master lease agreements applicable to 100% of the combined 36,700 rentable square feet of these properties were executed with the counterparty. These master lease agreements have initial terms of 15 years and provide for 3% annual rent increases. Based upon the fair value of the assets exchanged, this transaction resulted in an $8.7 million gain which is included in our financial results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015.

Purchase of Minority Interests and Consolidation of LLCs:

On August 1, 2014, we purchased the minority ownership interests held by a third-party member in six LLCs in which we previously held noncontrolling, majority ownership interests ranging from 85% to 95%. As a result of these transactions, we now own 100% of each of these LLCs and began accounting for each on a consolidated basis effective August 1, 2014.

These six LLCs were included in our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 on an unconsolidated basis during the one-month period ended July 31, 2014, and on a consolidated basis thereafter. During the month of July, 2014, these LLCs had combined revenues of $523,000, operating expenses of $241,000, depreciation and amortization expense of $106,000, interest expense of $94,000 and net income of $82,000.

These six LLCs were included in our consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 on an unconsolidated basis during the seven months ended July 31, 2014, and on a consolidated basis thereafter. During the first seven months of 2014, these LLCs had combined revenues of approximately $3.6 million, operating expenses of approximately $1.6 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $732,000, interest expense of $654,000 and net income of $551,000.

General Information, Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Universal Health Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust, invests in healthcare and human service related facilities including acute care hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, sub-acute care facilities, surgery centers, free-standing emergency departments, childcare centers and medical office buildings. We have investments in sixty-two properties located in eighteen states.

This press release contains forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. Numerous factors, including those disclosed herein, those related to healthcare and healthcare real estate industry trends and those detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as set forth in Item 1A - Risk Factors and in Item 7-Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and in Item 2-Forward-Looking Statements and Certain Risk Factors in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015), may cause the results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine our future results are beyond our capability to control or predict. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and therefore actual results may differ materially. Readers should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements which reflect management's view only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share (as reflected on the attached Supplemental Schedules), which are non-GAAP financial measures ("GAAP" is Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America), are helpful to our investors as measures of our operating performance. In addition, we believe that, when applicable, comparing and discussing our financial results based on these measures, as calculated, is helpful to our investors since it neutralizes the effect in each year of material items that are nonrecurring or non-operational in nature including items such as, but not limited to, gains on divestitures of real property, gains on fair value recognition resulting from the purchase of minority interests in majority-owned LLCs and transaction costs.

Funds from operations ("FFO") is a widely recognized measure of performance for Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"). We believe that FFO and FFO per diluted share, and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") and AFFO per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, are helpful to our investors as measures of our operating performance. We compute FFO, as reflected on the attached Supplemental Schedules, in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. FFO adjusts for the effect of the gain on property exchange transaction (during 2015) and for the effect of the gains on fair value recognition resulting from the purchase of minority interests in majority-owned LLCs (during 2014). AFFO was also computed for the three and nine month-periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, as reflected on the Supplemental Schedules and discussed herein, and includes the adjustments made to FFO, as mentioned above, as well as for transaction costs related to acquisitions. FFO/AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO/AFFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) a measure of our liquidity, or; (iv) an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. A reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO/AFFO is reflected on the Supplemental Schedules included below.

To obtain a complete understanding of our financial performance these measures should be examined in connection with net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in this report or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including our Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Since the items included or excluded from these measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance under GAAP, these measures should not be considered to be alternatives to net income as a measure of our operating performance or profitability. Since these measures, as presented, are not determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Investors are encouraged to use GAAP measures when evaluating our financial performance.
