Per Share Net Loss of ($0.24) and Normalized FFO of $0.43 in Fourth Quarter

35% Growth in Net Income and 4% Growth in Both NFFO and AFFO, on a Per Share Basis, in Full-Year 2022

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, 2022, as well as certain events occurring subsequent to quarter end.

• Net loss of ($0.24) and Normalized Funds from Operations (“NFFO”) of $0.43 for the 2022 fourth quarter and net income of $1.50 and NFFO of $1.82 for the full-year 2022, all on a per diluted share basis;
• Fourth quarter 2022 net loss and full-year 2022 net income include a real estate impairment of approximately $171 million related to four properties leased to Prospect Medical Holdings (“Prospect”) in Pennsylvania as well as a write-off of roughly $112 million in unbilled Prospect rent also included in Funds from Operations (“FFO”) but excluded from normalized results;
• In October, commenced a development project to be leased to Ernest in South Carolina upon completion for approximately $22 million;
• In December, acquired six Priory behavioral health facilities previously leased from a third-party owner in the UK for £233 million; and
• Additional cash rent from CPI-based and fixed rent escalators of approximately $50 million expected in 2023.

Previously announced activities:

• January announcement that Pipeline Health will assume the existing terms of its Los Angeles hospital master lease and collect 100% of past due rent;
• February repayment to MPT of $205 million loan investment in Springstone, upon Lifepoint Health’s acquisition of a majority interest in the operator;
• Agreed in February to lease entire Utah hospital portfolio to a wholly owned subsidiary of CommonSpirit Health (“CommonSpirit”), upon CommonSpirit’s planned acquisition of Steward Health Care System’s (“Steward”) Utah operations; and
• Declared in February a regular quarterly dividend of $0.29 per share, representing a fourth quarter payout of adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) per share of roughly 85%.

“The vast majority of our portfolio is positioned to support a significant inflation-based increase in cash rents for 2023,” said Edward K. Aldag, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “On the other hand, our initial outlook for this year contemplates a conservative scenario due to the underperformance of Prospect’s Pennsylvania hospitals that we first communicated over a year ago, as well as the process by which we expect to recover our full investment in Prospect’s Pennsylvania and Connecticut hospitals.”

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 and AFFO, including per share amounts, all on a basis comparable to 2021 results, as well as a reconciliation of total assets to total adjusted gross assets.

PORTFOLIO UPDATE

In December, MPT acquired for £233 million six of the largest, highest acuity, most profitable and best-known Priory inpatient behavioral health facilities, comprising 374 beds in the vicinity of London, Manchester and Bristol in the United Kingdom. The third-party seller of the real estate provided MPT roughly £105 million in attractive seller financing, and MPT assumed the in-place lease at an attractive cash yield, with inflation-based rent escalators and more than 20 years of remaining lease term. The merged Priory and MEDIAN platforms are expected to continue to source select attractive real estate opportunities.

MPT plans to reallocate capital away from real estate leased to Prospect through the previously announced sale, predominantly for cash, of its Connecticut hospitals later this year, as well as by exercising lease provisions entitling it to the significant value embedded in Prospect’s managed care platform. In order for this to occur, 12 to 18 months is necessary to allow for Prospect to recapitalize and prepare its managed care business for sale or recapitalization.

The Company has total assets of approximately $19.7 billion, including $13.4 billion of general acute care hospitals, $2.7 billion of behavioral health facilities, $1.4 billion of inpatient rehabilitation facilities, $0.3 billion of long-term acute care hospitals, and $0.2 billion of freestanding emergency room and urgent care properties. MPT’s portfolio includes 444 properties and approximately 45,000 licensed beds across the United States as well as in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Spain, Finland, Colombia, Italy and Portugal. The properties are leased to or mortgaged by 55 hospital operating companies.

OPERATING RESULTS AND OUTLOOK

Operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 were a net loss of ($140) million (($0.24) per diluted share) and net income of $903 million ($1.50 per diluted share), respectively, compared to net income of $207 million ($0.34 per diluted share) and $656 million ($1.11 per diluted share) in the year earlier periods.

NFFO for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 was $258 million ($0.43 per diluted share) and $1,088 million ($1.82 per diluted share), respectively, compared to $279 million ($0.47 per diluted share) and $1,036 million ($1.75 per diluted share) in the year earlier periods

The Company is introducing initial 2023 calendar estimates of per share net income and NFFO of $0.83 to $0.98 and $1.50 to $1.65, respectively. At their high-end, the ranges reflect management’s base case expectation that certain amounts are recovered from Prospect and recognized as revenue in the second half of 2023, while their low-end accounts for the remote possibility that the entirety of this revenue is recognized subsequent to 2023. The estimates are based on an existing portfolio which includes the impact of binding disposition transactions and changes to lease terms but excludes expected future contributions from development and other capital projects, the possible future impact of deleveraging and other capital markets strategies.

These estimates do not include the effects, among others, of unexpected real estate operating costs, changes in accounting pronouncements, litigation costs, debt refinancing costs, acquisition costs, currency exchange rate movements, changes in income tax rates, interest rate hedging activities, write-offs of straight-line rent, other impairments or other non-recurring/unplanned transactions. Moreover, these estimates do not provide for the impact on MPT or its tenants and borrowers from the global COVID-19 pandemic. These estimates may change if the Company acquires or sells assets in amounts that are different from estimates, market interest rates change, debt is refinanced or repurchased, new shares are issued or repurchased, additional debt is incurred, other operating expenses vary, income from equity investments vary from expectations, or existing leases or loans do not perform in accordance with their terms.

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 "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 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.   We calculate adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, by subtracting from or adding to normalized FFO (i) straight-line rent, (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 more 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 infrastructure-type assets generally require longer term leases with annual contractual escalations of base rents, resulting in the recognition of a significant amount of rental income that is not billable/collected until future periods. 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.

Total Adjusted Gross Assets
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands)						December 31, 2022
		Total Assets				$	19,658,000
		Add: Accumulated depreciation and amortization					1,193,312
		Add: Incremental gross assets of our Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures(1)					1,698,917
		Less: Gross book value of the transactions, net(2)					(1,074,024	)
		Net: Reclassification between operators(3)					-
		Less: Decrease in cash from the transactions(4)					(235,668	)
		Total Adjusted Gross Assets(5)				$	21,240,537
(1) Reflects an addition to total assets to present our total share of each joint venture’s gross assets. See below for details of the calculation. While we do not control any of our unconsolidated real estate joint venture arrangements and do not have direct legal claim to the underlying assets of the unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, we believe this adjustment allows investors to view certain concentration information on a basis comparable to the remainder of our real estate portfolio. This presentation is also consistent with how our management team reviews our portfolio (dollar amounts in thousands):

		Real estate joint venture total gross real estate and other assets				$	5,921,188
		Weighted-average equity ownership percentage					55	%
							3,261,727
		Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures(A)					(1,562,810	)
		Incremental gross assets of our Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures				$	1,698,917
	(A) Includes amount shown on the "Investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures" line on our consolidated balance sheets, along with a CHF 60 million mortgage loan and included in the "Mortgage loans" line on our consolidated balance sheets.
(2) Represents the gross book value of assets sold or written off due to the October 2022 commitment to sell three facilities leased to Prospect for approximately $457 million, the acquisition of the majority interest in Springstone by a subsidiary of Lifepoint in February 2023, and the February 2023 commitment to lease five facilities in Utah to CommonSpirit that are currently leased to Steward, partially offset by the addition of new gross assets from the committed transactions. See detail below (in thousands):

		Gross book value of assets in transactions				$	(655,354	)
		Non-cash rent write-offs related to disposals					(418,670	)
		Gross book value of the transactions				$	(1,074,024	)
(3) Reclass of $0.8 billion of gross assets between Springstone and Lifepoint along with $0.9 billion reclass of gross assets between Steward and CommonSpirit as part of the committed transactions described in Note (2). (4) Represents cash expected from the proceeds generated by the transactions, along with cash on hand to reduce debt as detailed below (in thousands):

		Expected cash proceeds generated by the transactions				$	659,000
		Reduction of revolver balance					(894,668	)
		Net decrease in cash from the transactions				$	(235,668	)
(5) Total adjusted gross assets is total assets before accumulated depreciation/amortization (adjusted for our investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures), assumes material transaction commitments are completed, and assumes cash on hand at period-end and cash generated from or to be generated from transaction commitments or financing activities subsequent to period-end are either used in these transactions or used to reduce debt. We believe total adjusted 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 commitments close.
