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 fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016.
John T. Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust, commented, “2016 was a remarkable and transformative year for Physicians Realty Trust. We continued our strong investment and asset management performance in the fourth quarter, and entered 2017 with an outstanding pipeline. We have already purchased $110 million in outstanding medical office facilities in 2017, and now have completed nearly $3 billion in investments since our initial public offering a little more than 3 years ago. Our record investment in Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) medical office facilities is exceeding our underwritten expectations, and CHI executives, physicians, and our other tenants in those facilities are giving us outstanding positive feedback on our integration of those buildings as well as our on-going service. Our best in class asset management operating platform delivered 2.6% same-store cash NOI growth for the year. We are setting the standard for medical office asset management, and our commitment to People, Process, and Performance is producing outstanding results as health care systems and physicians seek real estate capital and management, from a team that understands healthcare and their needs. We are a high growth organization, investing in best in class and defensive outpatient and medical office facilities, and believe we have the opportunity to continue our high pace of growth in 2017 and beyond.”
Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Total revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $73.7 million, an increase of 82% from the same period in 2015. As of December 31, 2016, the portfolio was 96.1% leased.
Total expenses for the fourth quarter 2016 were $65.1 million, compared to $34.5 million in the fourth quarter 2015, or an increase of 89%. The increase in expenses was primarily the result of a $12.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a $12.0 million increase in operating expenses, and a $4.7 million increase in interest expense. The increase in expenses also includes a $3.7 million charge related to rent and other receivables due from certain assets slated for disposition, but considered uncollectible at this time.
Net income for the fourth quarter 2016 grew to $8.6 million, compared to net income of $5.9 million for the fourth quarter 2015, consistent with the same period last year.
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the fourth quarter 2016 was $7.8 million. Diluted earnings per share was $0.06 based on 139.6 million weighted average shares and OP units outstanding.
Funds from operations (FFO) for the fourth quarter 2016 consisted of net income, less $0.2 million of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for partially owned properties, plus $26.8 million of depreciation and amortization, less $0.2 million of depreciation and amortization expense for partially owned properties, less $0.4 million of preferred distributions, resulting in $0.25 per diluted share. Normalized FFO, which adjust for $3.7 million of acquisition expenses and $0.2 million of net change in fair value of derivative, was $38.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share.
Normalized funds available for distribution (FAD) for the fourth quarter 2016, which consists of normalized FFO adjusted for non-cash share compensation, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired above-market and below-market leases, amortization of lease inducements, amortization of deferred financing fees, recurring capital expenditures, and seller master lease and rent abatement payments, was $34.2 million for the fourth quarter 2016.
Our same-store portfolio, which includes 122 properties representing approximately 45% of our net leasable square footage, generated year-over-year Same-Store NOI growth of 2.6% for the fourth quarter 2016.
9 Assets Slated for Disposition
The Company has determined that certain past and future rental payments and prepaid expenses from 4 assets affiliated with Foundation Healthcare, Inc. (OTC:FDNH), may be uncollectible at this time and has reserved approximately $3.7 million against previously recognized rental revenue, prepaid expenses, and deferred rent. $1.1 million of this charge is attributable to a lease default by FDNH’s wholly owned subsidiary that rented a medical office facility from us in Oklahoma City. We have entered in to a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell this medical office building for $15.3 million which would generate a net gain of $1.6 million. The closing of the sale of this property is subject to customary closing conditions, and no assurance can be made that we will complete the sale of this property or as to the timing or terms of any such sale.
Approximately $2.6 million of this charge is attributable to obligations under 3 separate leases for 2 surgical hospitals and a medical office building leased to FDNH/physician joint ventures in San Antonio and El Paso, Texas. The Company is actively working with FDNH and the physician co-owners in each separate surgical hospital involved to transfer FDNH’s interest in each joint venture, shift management away from FDNH, and collect past due rent and expenses. Each location is attracting significant interest from surgical hospital management and ownership companies. The Company cannot make any assurance that all or any of the past due rent or prepaid expenses will be collected or that the transfer of joint venture ownership interests from FDNH to a new surgical hospital management company will occur.
Both the Foundation Surgical Hospital of San Antonio and the Foundation Surgical Hospital of El Paso have operated continuously throughout this process, and we do not anticipate any disruption in service by either surgical hospital. These three assets and an additional medical office building leased to the FDNH/physician joint venture in San Antonio have been slated for disposition.
Finally, the Company has entered into definitive purchase agreements to sell four medical office buildings in Georgia from our legacy portfolio, which consist of 80,292 square feet in the aggregate for a purchase price of $18.2 million, which would generate a net gain of $4.0 million.
In total, the 9 assets slated for disposition contain 319,085 square feet of gross leasable area, and the Company currently estimates that these properties will be sold for approximately $100 million to $125 million in the aggregate. No assurance can be made, however, that any or all of the properties will be sold, that the Company will receive the anticipated consideration for the sale of any or all of the properties, or as to the timing of any such sale or sales.
Update on CHI Investment
During 2016, we entered into separate agreements to purchase 52 medical office facilities (which we now treat as 53 medical office facilities because we consider a certain condominium property as being separate from a nearby surgical center property) from regional health systems controlled by Catholic Health Initiatives (“CHI”) containing 3,159,495 rentable square feet located in 10 states (the “CHI Portfolio”). To date, we have completed the acquisition of 49 of the properties in the CHI Portfolio representing 3,016,926 net leasable square feet. We elected not to complete the acquisition of 2 of the CHI Portfolio properties. We still have one property under one of the original agreements to purchase a medical office facility in Fruitland, Idaho for $4.8 million, and we entered into a separate agreement to purchase a newly constructed medical office facility in Omaha, Nebraska for approximately $33.4 million that is 100% leased and will be 100% occupied by CHI’s affiliate, Creighton University Medical Center, upon its completion of certain tenant improvements. We anticipate closing on the Omaha, Nebraska medical office facility during the first quarter of 2017 and on the Fruitland, Idaho medical office facility later in 2017.

This press release includes Funds From Operations (FFO), Normalized FFO, Normalized Funds Available For Distribution (FAD), Net Operating Income (NOI), Cash NOI and Same-Store Cash NOI, 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, we have provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
We believe that information regarding FFO is helpful to shareholders and potential investors because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) before noncontrolling interests of holders of OP units, excluding preferred distributions, gains (or losses) on sales of depreciable operating property, impairment write-downs on depreciable assets, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs). Our FFO computation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with NAREIT definition or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. The GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, net income, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales, impairments and noncontrolling interests. In computing FFO, we eliminate these items because, in our view, they are not indicative of the results from the operations of our properties. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as presented in our financial statements. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered to be an alternative to net income or loss (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.
We use Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments, acquisition-related expenses, acceleration of deferred financing costs, and other normalizing items. However, our use of the term Normalized FFO may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. Normalized FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our financial performance or of cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP), or as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. Normalized FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
We define 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 and assumed debt, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of lease inducements, and recurring capital expenditures related to tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and includes cash payments from seller master leases and rent abatement payments. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating Normalized FAD, and accordingly, our computation may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. Although our computation of Normalized FAD may not be comparable to that of other REITs, we believe Normalized FAD provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our performance due to its frequency of use by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. Normalized FAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss attributable to controlling interest (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of our financial performance. Normalized FAD should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income or loss, computed in accordance with GAAP, generated from our total portfolio of properties before general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, gain or loss on the sale of investment properties, and impairment losses. We believe that NOI provides an accurate measure of operating performance of our operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with management of the properties. Our use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount.
Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from NOI straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired above and below market leases, and other non-cash and normalizing items. Other non-cash and normalizing items include items such as the amortization of lease inducements and payments received from seller master leases and rent abatements. We believe that Cash NOI provides an accurate measure of the operating performance of our operating assets because it excludes certain items that are not associated with management of the properties. Additionally, we believe that Cash NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate community. Our use of the term Cash NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as such other companies may have different methodologies for computing this amount.
