MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Positioned for $2.0 Billion in Accretive, Low-Levered Acquisitions

Updates 2018 and Introduces 2019 Estimates

Birmingham, AL – November 1, 2018 – Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “MPT”) (NYSE: MPW) today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

“MPT successfully completed its planned capital recycling strategy during the third quarter and we have positioned ourselves uniquely among healthcare REITs for immediate and accretive growth. We have an outstanding balance sheet with sector-leading low leverage and approximately $2.0 billion in available liquidity at the same time our pipeline is the largest and best it has ever been,” said Edward K. Aldag, Jr., MPT’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We think 2019 has the potential to be a monumental year for the Company with opportunity to deliver market-leading FFO and dividend growth from the very large, diverse and actionable acquisition pipeline that we have assembled.”

THIRD QUARTER AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

 

   

Net income of $2.00 and Normalized Funds from Operations (“NFFO”) of $0.35 in the third quarter, both on a per diluted share basis;

 

   

Completed the additions to the master lease of 5 Steward hospitals aggregating $811.4 million that were previously mortgaged to MPT (including 2 hospitals aggregating $273.7 million that were completed in the first half of 2018), substantially improving the credit characteristics of the Steward portfolio;

 

   

Completed the previously announced sale of MPT’s equity investment in Ernest Health, Inc. in October resulting in total proceeds of approximately $176 million;

 

   

As previously announced, completed in August the joint venture with Primonial Real Estate Investment Management (“Primonial”) resulting in total proceeds of approximately €1.14 billion, and sold North Cypress Medical Center to Hospital Corporation of America for $148 million;


   

Repaid $820 million in outstanding revolver debt, resulting in approximately $1.3 billion in available liquidity from the revolving credit facility and pro forma net debt to EBITDA of approximately 4.5 times;

 

   

Completed acquisitions of three of the four previously announced German rehabilitation hospitals in August for €16.2 million;

 

   

Completed the previously announced acquisition of Lourdes Medical Center in Pasco, Washington in August for $17.5 million adding to the existing master lease with RCCH HealthCare Partners.

Included in the financial tables accompanying this press release is information about the Company’s assets and liabilities, net income and reconciliations of net income to NFFO, all on a basis comparable to 2017 results. In addition, a reconciliation of pro forma total gross assets to total assets is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

PORTFOLIO UPDATE

In the third quarter, and as previously disclosed, MPT completed its joint venture with Primonial and retained a 50% interest in the portfolio of 71 German post-acute hospitals valued at €1.63 billion.

Including its 50% portion of the joint venture with Primonial, MPT has pro forma total gross assets of approximately $9.6 billion, including $6.7 billion in general acute care hospitals, $1.6 billion in inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, and $0.3 billion in long-term acute care hospitals. This pro forma portfolio includes 276 properties representing more than 32,000 licensed beds in 29 states and in Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain. The properties are leased to or mortgaged by 29 hospital operating companies.

OPERATING RESULTS AND OUTLOOK

Net income for the third quarter of 2018 was $736.0 million (or $2.00 per diluted share), compared to $76.5 million (or $0.21 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2017. The change from 2017’s third quarter primarily results from gains on sales of assets in 2018.

NFFO for the third quarter of 2018 increased to $127.2 million compared with $120.6 million in the third quarter of 2017. Per share NFFO increased by 6.1% to $0.35 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $0.33 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2017. The Company achieved the strong growth in per share results even as the above-mentioned asset sales temporarily reduced revenues.

Based on management’s present investment, capital and operating strategies, and the expected timing of each, management estimates that 2018 net income will approximate $2.76 per diluted share and that 2018 NFFO will approximate $1.36 per diluted share.

The Company today is also introducing its estimate of 2019 net income as a range of between $1.01 and $1.05 per diluted share and 2019 NFFO as a range of between $1.42 and $1.46 per

diluted share. This estimate assumes, among other estimates, that MPT will make acquisitions throughout 2019 aggregating approximately $2.0 billion, while maintaining a conservative debt profile.

These estimates do not include the effects, if any, of unexpected real estate operating costs, changes in accounting pronouncements, litigation costs, debt refinancing costs, acquisition costs, currency exchange rate movements, interest rate hedging activities, write-offs of straight-line rent or other non-recurring or unplanned transactions. These estimates may change if the Company acquires or sells assets, market interest rates change, debt is refinanced, new shares are issued, additional debt is incurred, other operating expenses vary, income from investments in tenant operations vary from expectations, or existing leases do not perform in accordance with their terms.

(A) Includes our share of real estate depreciation, acquisition expenses and straight-line rent revenue from unconsolidated joint ventures. These amounts are included with the activity of all of our equity interests in the “Other” line on the consolidated statements of income.

Investors and analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations, or FFO, as a supplemental performance measure. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate asset values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. We compute FFO in accordance with the definition provided by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) on sales of real estate and impairment charges on real estate assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, we also disclose normalized FFO, which adjusts FFO for items that relate to unanticipated or non-core events or activities or accounting changes that, if not noted, would make comparison to prior period results and market expectations less meaningful to investors and analysts. We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and the use of normalized FFO makes comparisons of our operating results with prior periods and other companies more meaningful. While FFO and normalized FFO are relevant and widely used supplemental measures of operating and financial performance of REITs, they should not be viewed as a substitute measure of our operating performance since the measures do not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which can be significant economic costs that could materially impact our results of operations. FFO and normalized FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity.

We calculate adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, by subtracting from or adding to normalized FFO (i) unbilled rent revenue, (ii) non-cash share-based compensation expense, and (iii) amortization of deferred financing costs. AFFO is an operating measurement that we use to analyze our results of operations based on the receipt, rather than the accrual, of our rental revenue and on certain other adjustments. We believe that this is an important measurement because our leases generally have significant contractual escalations of base rents and therefore result in recognition of rental income that is not collected until future periods, and costs that are deferred or are non-cash charges. Our calculation of AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO or similarly titled measures reported by other REITs. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (calculated pursuant to GAAP) as an indicator of our results of operations or to cash flow from operating activities (calculated pursuant to GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity.

Pro forma total gross assets is total assets before accumulated depreciation/amortization, assumes all real estate binding commitments on new investments and unfunded amounts on development deals and commenced capital improvement projects are fully funded, and assumes cash on hand is fully used in these transactions. We believe pro forma total gross assets is useful to investors as it provides a more current view of our portfolio and allows for a better understanding of our concentration levels as our binding commitments close and our other commitments are fully funded.
