Insights

The divestiture strategy undertaken by Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (MPT) is a significant financial maneuver, indicating a shift in the company's capital allocation strategy. The net loss reported, along with the Normalized Funds from Operations (NFFO), reflects a mixed financial performance. The non-recurring write-offs and impairments, primarily related to Steward Health Care System, are substantial and warrant a closer examination of the company's asset quality and investment decisions.

The sale of hospital real estate to Prime Healthcare at a 7.4% economic cap rate, which is above the company's historical cost, suggests a strategic move to optimize the asset portfolio and improve liquidity. This could potentially lead to a revaluation of the company's assets and impact the stock price. The divestiture of non-core assets, including the sale of a noncontrolling interest and under-leased hospitals, along with the syndicated term loan investment in MEDIAN, aligns with the strategy to streamline operations and focus on core competencies.

Investors should monitor the company's ability to execute its capital allocation strategy effectively, as it could influence future earnings potential and debt management. The interest from other hospital operators in Steward's mission-critical facilities implies a robust demand for healthcare real estate, which could be favorable for MPT in terms of both earnings contributions and liquidity enhancement.

The healthcare real estate industry is witnessing a consolidation trend, with operators like MPT actively managing their portfolios to focus on high-performing assets. The divestiture at a cap rate higher than the implied market capitalization rate could be indicative of the premium value associated with healthcare properties, especially given the current economic environment where capitalization rates are closely scrutinized by investors.

The strategic sale of assets and subsequent liquidity generation is a response to the broader market's demand for financial flexibility and operational efficiency. MPT's focus on accelerating capital allocation could be seen as a proactive measure to capitalize on the robust healthcare real estate market and to position itself favorably for future growth opportunities. The market will likely react to these developments based on the perceived effectiveness of MPT's strategy in driving shareholder value.

Stakeholders should consider the potential long-term benefits of a more focused investment strategy, which may include enhanced portfolio quality and improved financial metrics. However, the short-term impact of the non-recurring write-offs and impairments on the company's financial statements cannot be overlooked, as it may affect investor sentiment and the company's valuation.

MPT's strategy of divesting non-core assets and focusing on liquidity generation is a common tactic among Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) aiming to optimize their portfolios. The economic cap rate of 7.4% on the sale to Prime Healthcare is particularly noteworthy, as it reflects the income-generating potential of the assets relative to their sale price. This rate is a critical metric for assessing the profitability of real estate investments and is an important indicator for REIT investors.

The transition to cash basis accounting for Steward's revenue suggests a more conservative approach to revenue recognition, which could impact the NFFO—a key performance indicator for REITs. Investors typically look for stability and growth in NFFO as it represents the cash flow available for distribution to shareholders.

The mentioned liquidity transactions and the focus on generating $2 billion of incremental liquidity in 2024 highlight MPT's commitment to financial strength and flexibility. This strategy could potentially lead to an improved credit profile and better access to capital, which are crucial for REITs to fund acquisitions and development projects. It is essential for stakeholders to assess how these strategic moves will affect the REIT's dividend payouts and overall investment appeal in the long-term.

Accelerated Asset Divestiture Strategy with More Than $480 million of Liquidity Transactions

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “MPT”) (NYSE: MPW) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2023, as well as certain events occurring subsequent to quarter end.

  • Net loss of ($1.11) and Normalized Funds from Operations (“NFFO”) of $0.36 for the 2023 fourth quarter and net loss of ($0.93) and NFFO of $1.59 for the full-year 2023, all on a per share basis. Included in NFFO is approximately $0.12 per share of revenue from Steward Health Care System (“Steward”) recognized prior to moving to cash basis accounting effective January 1, 2024;
  • Fourth quarter 2023 net loss includes approximately $772 million ($1.29 per share) in non-recurring write-offs and impairments, primarily related to Steward;
  • Entered into agreements in February to divest of five hospitals to Prime Healthcare (“Prime”) at a 7.4% economic cap rate for $350 million and the sale of MPT’s remaining noncontrolling interest in a tenant and two under-leased hospitals in South Carolina for combined proceeds of approximately $17 million; and
  • Executed the sale of its syndicated term loan investment in MEDIAN, the parent of Priory Group (“Priory”), in January for approximately $115 million (£90 million).

Edward K. Aldag, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our primary focus is on accelerating our capital allocation strategy by pursuing transactions expected to generate at least $2 billion of incremental liquidity in 2024. We are making progress as evidenced by our recent agreement to sell hospital real estate to Prime at pricing well above our historical cost and substantially better than estimates of our implied market capitalization rate.”

Mr. Aldag continued, “With regard to Steward, we are encouraged by the amount of interest received to date from other hospital operators for these mission-critical facilities, and we expect this real estate portfolio will either resume its contributions to earnings or become additional sources of liquidity as the year progresses.”

Included in the financial tables accompanying this press release is information about the Company’s assets and liabilities, operating results, and reconciliations of net income (loss) to NFFO, including per share amounts, all on a basis comparable to 2022 results.

PORTFOLIO UPDATE

Medical Properties Trust has total assets of approximately $18.3 billion, including $12.0 billion of general acute facilities, $2.6 billion of behavioral health facilities and $1.7 billion of post-acute facilities. As of December 31, 2023, MPT’s portfolio included 439 properties and approximately 43,000 licensed beds leased to or mortgaged by 54 hospital operating companies across the United States as well as in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Finland, Colombia, Italy and Portugal.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s assets include approximately $5.0 billion of leased real estate and other investments which will be subject to cash basis accounting in 2024, with rent and interest only to be recognized as cash is received. More specifically, effective January 1, 2024, Steward and the International Joint Venture will become part of this portfolio, which already included Prospect and other smaller operators. For much of this portfolio, MPT has started a process to transition real estate to new tenants, sell, or otherwise monetize these assets in the near-term. To assist investors in more accurately assessing MPT’s portfolio, the commentary and tables included below segregate the fourth quarter operating performance of these “Cash Basis” assets from the Company’s “Stabilized Portfolio” with approximately $11.0 billion of total assets and for which accrual method accounting is appropriate. It is possible that the size and earnings contribution of these portfolios could be impacted by future asset sale and other transactions.

Stabilized / Accrual Method Portfolio (approximately $11.0 billion total assets)

Europe (approximately $6.0 billion)

Across MPT’s European portfolio, operators continue to benefit from improving occupancy rates, growing reimbursement revenue, normalization of labor costs, and the rapid growth of behavioral health services.

Circle Health (“Circle”) ($2.1 billion) has maintained its performance, as the private healthcare market continues to attract patients in the United Kingdom who are seeking to minimize diagnostic and surgical waiting times. As previously announced, in January, Centene completed its sale of Circle’s operations to Pure Health for $1.2 billion. This transaction provides third-party validation of the inherent value of MPT’s UK hospital real estate portfolio and demonstrates that the business of running private hospitals in the United Kingdom is attractive to a broad, global investor base.

MEDIAN maintained EBITDARM coverage in the 1.5-2.0x range and successfully achieved its 2023 financial targets given steadily improving occupancy, negotiated reimbursement rate increases, and stabilization of energy expenses. Priory ($1.4 billion) continues to operate profitably with improving EBITDARM coverage of 2.2x driven by increases to its already high utilization rate, reimbursement rate increases, and efficient cost management.

Americas (approximately $5.0 billion)

In MPT’s Americas portfolio, operators have largely maintained hospital volumes while making significant progress in reducing contract labor. Behavioral health facilities continue to perform well driven primarily by revenues from increasing inpatient volume.

In February, the Company agreed to sell Saint Francis Medical Center in Lynwood, CA and four properties within the St. Clare’s system in New Jersey to Prime for $250 million in immediate cash and a $100 million interest-bearing mortgage note due to MPT in nine months, representing an approximate $50 million gain on sale of real estate. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary conditions and notice provisions.

MPT and Prime have also agreed to combine three hospitals in Michigan and Missouri previously subject to a lease maturing in early 2025 with its only other remaining Prime facility (Newark, NJ) to form a new 20-year master lease with a double-digit prevailing cash rental yield and inflation-based escalators collared between 2% and 4%. Further, Prime has agreed to an approximately $5 million increase in annual escalating cash rents. Including this increase in rent for the remaining leased facilities, the St. Francis and St. Clare’s facilities were transacted at an economic cap rate of 7.4%.

The new lease also includes an option for Prime to repurchase the facilities at any time for a value of at least $260 million. Should Prime choose to exercise this purchase option, MPT would expect to record an additional gain on sale of real estate of approximately $95 million on the remaining four facilities leased to Prime.

Cash Basis Portfolio

Steward ($3.5 billion)

As announced in early January, MPT has worked with Steward to develop an action plan designed to strengthen Steward’s liquidity and restore its balance sheet, optimize MPT’s ability to recover unpaid rent and ultimately reduce MPT’s exposure to Steward. MPT and certain of Steward’s asset backed lenders are negotiating a new bridge facility whereby it is expected, but there is no assurance, that each party will fund an initial $37.5 million to Steward, based on its achievement of certain milestones previously established in January. MPT has already funded $20 million of such amount. Any subsequent loan fundings would be contingent on Steward achieving further significant milestones that optimize the amount and timing of recoveries for MPT and Steward’s ABL lenders.

Prospect Medical (“Prospect”) ($1.1 billion)

In California, Prospect is current on all rent and interest due through the end of 2023, and EBITDARM improved year-over-year as a result of improved admissions, increased Medi-Cal reimbursement rates and lower supplies costs. Further, the $75 million delayed draw term loan MPT extended to Prospect in May 2023 was fully drawn as of December 31, 2023.

OPERATING RESULTS AND OUTLOOK

Net loss for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023 was ($664 million) (($1.11) per share) and ($556 million) (($0.93) per share), respectively, compared to ($140 million) (($0.24) per share) and net income of $903 million ($1.50 per share) in the year earlier periods. Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 included several non-recurring write-offs and impairments detailed in the tables below.

NFFO for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023 was $218 million ($0.36 per share) and $951 million ($1.59 per share), respectively, compared to $258 million ($0.43 per share) and $1,088 million ($1.82 per share) in the year earlier periods.

MPT has expanded its disclosure related to non-cash revenue, providing information allowing investors to adjust NFFO for non-cash components of accrued revenue not limited to deferred rent and payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, as well as cash recoveries of such items. These adjustments as they relate to fourth quarter and full-year 2023, as well as prior-year reporting, are included in this release and in the earnings supplemental.

Due to uncertainty regarding its hospitals leased to Steward and the timing of liquidity transactions, the Company is not providing an estimate of full-year 2024 net income or normalized funds from operations.

Notes:

(A) Certain line items above (such as depreciation and amortization) include our share of such income/expense from unconsolidated joint ventures. These amounts are included with all activity of our equity interests in the "(Losses) earnings from equity interests" line on the consolidated statements of income.

(B) Investors and analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations ("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, including amortization related to in-place lease intangibles, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition, we 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 (if any not paid by our tenants) 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 results of operations or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity.

(C) Includes revenue accrued during the period but not received in cash, such as deferred rent, payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest or other accruals.

(D) Includes cash received to satisfy previously accrued non-cash revenue, such as the cash receipt of previously deferred rent or PIK interest.

(E) Each line includes a portion of non-cash revenue from Steward in Q4 2023 totaling $0.12 per share.
