Business Overview
The Company is a self-managed and self-administered REIT that owns,
acquires, manages, finances and develops income-producing real estate properties
associated primarily with the delivery of outpatient healthcare services
throughout the United States. Management believes that by providing a complete
spectrum of real estate services, the Company can differentiate its competitive
market position, expand its asset base and increase revenues over time.
The Company's revenues are generally derived from rentals on its healthcare
real estate properties. The Company incurs operating and administrative
expenses, including compensation, office rent and other related occupancy costs,
as well as various expenses incurred in connection with managing its existing
portfolio and acquiring additional properties. The Company also incurs interest
expense on its various debt instruments and depreciation and amortization
expense on its real estate portfolio.
Executive Overview
On September 30, 2009, the Company entered into an amended and restated
$550.0 million unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility") with
16 lenders, including Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The
Unsecured Credit Facility currently bears interest at 2.80% over LIBOR, with a
0.40% facility fee, and matures on September 30, 2012. The outstanding balance
on the Company's previous unsecured credit facility, totaling approximately
$368.0 million, was repaid with proceeds from the Unsecured Credit Facility.
The Company has also entered into loan application and commitment
agreements with Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America for
mortgage financing not to exceed $140.3 million on certain of its properties.
The loans will bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum and will mature
seven years from the date of closing, which is expected in the fourth quarter of
2009, subject to normal and customary conditions. The Company intends to apply
the net proceeds of the loans to the outstanding balance under its Unsecured
Credit Facility. See Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
At September 30, 2009, the Company's leverage ratio [debt divided by (debt
plus stockholders' equity less intangible assets plus accumulated depreciation)]
was approximately 45.8%, with no significant maturities until 2011. The Company
had borrowings outstanding under the Unsecured Credit Facility totaling
$373.0 million at September 30, 2009, with a capacity remaining under its
financial covenants of $177.0 million.
The Company's real estate portfolio, diversified by facility type,
geography, tenant and payor mix, helps mitigate its exposure to fluctuating
economic conditions, tenant and sponsor credit risks, and changes in clinical
practice and reimbursement patterns. Overall portfolio occupancy for the third
quarter remained stable, while rental rates on renewing leases showed strong
increases consistent with previous quarters.
Trends and Matters Impacting Operating Results
Management monitors factors and trends important to the Company and the
REIT industry in order to gauge the potential impact on the operations of the
Company. In addition to the matters discussed in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, below are some of the factors
and trends that management believes may impact future operations of the Company.
Cost of Capital
The cost of the Company's short-term borrowings increased upon closing the
new Unsecured Credit Facility on September 30, 2009. The rate on the revolving
credit facility increased from 0.90% over LIBOR with a 0.20% facility fee to
2.80% over LIBOR with a 0.40% facility fee. Upon closing the Unsecured Credit
Facility, the Company repaid the outstanding balance under its previous credit
facility totaling $368.0 million.
The Company has also entered into loan application and commitment
agreements to obtain mortgage financing not to exceed $140.3 million on certain
of its properties. The mortgage debt will bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.25%
per annum.
The Company expects that the additional interest expense from the Unsecured
Credit Facility and the mortgage debt will have a negative impact on its future
net income, funds from operations, and cash flows. As a result of its increasing
short and long-term financing costs, the Company expects to pay quarterly
dividends of $0.30 per share beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009, which
would be payable in March 2010.
Acquisitions
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company acquired the remaining 50%
equity interest in a joint venture which owns a 62,246 square foot on-campus
medical office building in Oregon, for approximately $4.4 million of cash
consideration, and assumed an outstanding mortgage totaling approximately
$12.8 million. Prior to the acquisition, the Company owned a 50% equity interest
in the joint venture. The building was 97% occupied with lease expirations
through 2025. During the first quarter, HR Ladco Holdings, LLC, a joint venture
in which the Company has an 80% controlling interest, acquired a 33,974 square
foot medical office building in Iowa for $10.7 million. The property was 100%
leased to two tenants.
During the third quarter of 2009, HR Ladco Holdings, LLC acquired a 22,572
square foot medical office building in Iowa for $3.6 million that was 100%
occupied by one tenant whose lease expires in 2021. HR Ladco
Holdings, LLC also acquired a 63,224 square foot medical office/wellness
facility in Iowa for $21.0 million that was 100% occupied by one tenant whose
lease expires in 2029.
Dispositions
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company disposed of three medical
office buildings and membership interests in an entity that owned one medical
office building for approximately $66.1 million in net proceeds and repaid a
$19.5 million mortgage note secured by one of the properties.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company disposed of one specialty
inpatient facility and one ambulatory surgery center for approximately
$20.5 million in net proceeds, including $1.5 million in proceeds from a land
exchange.
During the third quarter of 2009, the Company disposed of a physician
clinic for approximately $0.6 million in net proceeds.
Development Activity
At September 30, 2009, the Company had four construction projects underway.
The Company expects completion of the core and shell of two of the four projects
with budgets totaling approximately $55.0 million during the fourth quarter of
2009. The Company expects completion of the core and shell of the third project
with a budget totaling approximately $86.0 million during the second quarter of
2010 and expects completion of the fourth project with a budget of approximately
$92.2 million to be completed during the third quarter of 2011.
In addition to the properties currently under construction discussed in the
preceding paragraph, the Company is financing an on-campus medical office
development in Iowa comprised of six facilities, with a total budget of
approximately $72.6 million, of which the Company has already advanced
$56.4 million. The Company expects to finance the remaining $16.2 million
through 2011. With respect to five of the six facilities, the Company will have
an option to purchase each facility at a market cap rate upon its completion and
attaining full occupancy. The sixth facility was sold by the developer in
October 2009 to an unrelated party. As discussed in "Acquisitions," the Company
acquired two of the five properties during 2009 for approximately $31.7 million.
See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information on the Company's development activities.
Expiring Leases
Master leases on 14 of the Company's properties were set to expire during
2009. The Company sold one of the properties during the second quarter of 2009
to the tenant and has renewed or extended the lease expirations on three of the
14 properties, representing nearly one-third of the expiring square footage. The
Company opted not to renew the master leases on the remaining 10 properties,
which are located on or near hospital campuses and in locations where the
Company already has existing management capabilities. The Company has assumed
the existing physician subtenant leases on the majority of the remaining 10
properties.
Approximately 440 of the Company's leases in its multi-tenanted buildings
were set to expire during 2009, with each tenant lessee occupying an average of
approximately 3,188 square feet. As of September 30, 2009, of the 361 leases
that had expired, approximately 84% of the tenants had renewed or had expressed
an intention to renew their leases. Management expects that the majority of the
leases remaining that have not expired or renewed will renew at favorable rates.
Funds from Operations
Funds from Operations ("FFO") and FFO per share are operating performance
measures adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts,
Inc. ("NAREIT"). NAREIT defines FFO as the most commonly accepted and reported
measure of a REIT's operating performance equal to "net income (computed in
accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures." Impairment charges may not be added back to
net income in calculating FFO, which has the effect of decreasing FFO in the
period recorded.
Management believes FFO and FFO per share to be supplemental measures of a
REIT's performance because they provide an understanding of the operating
performance of the Company's properties without giving effect to certain
significant non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization expense.
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP
assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.
However, real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with
market conditions. The Company believes that by excluding the effect of
depreciation, amortization and gains from sales of real estate, all of which are
based on historical
costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance,
FFO and FFO per share can facilitate comparisons of operating performance
between periods. Management uses FFO and FFO per share to compare and evaluate
its own operating results from period to period, and to monitor the operating
results of the Company's peers in the REIT industry. The Company reports FFO and
FFO per share because these measures are observed by management to also be the
predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to
evaluate REITs and because FFO per share is consistently reported, discussed,
and compared by research analysts in their notes and publications about REITs.
For these reasons, management has deemed it appropriate to disclose and discuss
FFO and FFO per share.
However, FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities
determined in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash
available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to
net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an
alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.
FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was impacted favorably by a
re-measurement gain of $2.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share,
recognized in connection with the acquisition of the remaining interests in a
joint venture during the first quarter of 2009. FFO for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2008 was impacted favorably by a net gain of
approximately $2.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted common share, recognized on the
repurchases of a portion of the Senior Notes due 2011 and 2014. Also, during the
three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized additional expense
for a one-time $0.8 million settlement related to unreimbursed litigation
expenses, which reduced FFO per diluted share by approximately $0.02 for the
three months ended September 30, 2008 and $0.01 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. The table below reconciles FFO to net income for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON
STOCKHOLDERS $ 9,104 $ 5,527 $ 3,577 64.7 %
Total revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 increased $9.4 million, or 17.2%, compared to the same period
in 2008, mainly for the reasons discussed below:
• Master lease rental income decreased $0.2 million, or 1.3%. Master lease
rental income declined approximately $1.7 million due to properties whose master
leases had expired and the Company began recognizing the underlying tenant rents
in property operating income. This amount was partially offset by additional
revenues associated with the Company's 2008 real estate acquisitions of
approximately $0.8 million, with the remaining increase of approximately $0.7
million resulting mainly from annual rent increases and increases in additional
rent.
• Property operating income increased $10.9 million, or 31.4%, due mainly
to the recognition of approximately $7.6 million in revenues in the third
quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 resulting from the Company's 2008 and 2009 real
estate acquisitions. Also, the Company began recognizing the underlying tenant
rental income on properties whose master leases had expired, resulting in
approximately $1.1 million in additional property operating income in the third
quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, with the remaining increase
of approximately $2.2 million resulting mainly from new leasing activity and
annual rent increases.
• Straight-line rent increased $0.6 million due mainly to an increase of
approximately $0.6 million related to leases subject to straight-lining on
properties acquired during 2008 and 2009.
• Other operating income decreased $2.0 million, or 48.3%, due mainly to a
decrease in property operating agreement guaranty income of approximately
$1.2 million resulting from the expiration of agreements relating to five
properties. Other operating income for third quarter of 2008 also included
approximately $0.6 million in replacement rent received by the Company pursuant
to an agreement with one operator that expired on June 30, 2009.
Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased
$3.8 million, or 9.0%, compared to the same period in 2008, mainly for the
reasons discussed below:
• General and administrative expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 15.1%, due
mainly to a decrease in pension and deferred compensation expenses of
approximately $0.4 million and project related costs of approximately
$0.6 million.
• Property operating expense increased $2.4 million, or 10.9%, due mainly
to the recognition of approximately $3.2 million in expenses in the third
quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 from the Company's 2008 and 2009 real estate
acquisitions. Also, properties previously under construction that commenced
operations during 2008 and 2009 resulted in approximately $0.4 million in
additional property operating expenses in 2009 compared to 2008. Property
operating expense also increased approximately $0.6 million for the third
quarter of 2009 due to properties whose master leases expired, and the Company
began incurring the underlying operating expenses of the buildings. These
increases to expense were partially offset by overall decreases in utilities and
legal fees of approximately $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
• An impairment charge totaling $1.6 million was recognized in 2008 on
patient accounts receivable assigned to the Company as part of a lease
termination and debt restructuring in late 2005 related to a physician clinic
owned by the Company.
• Bad debt expense decreased $0.2 million primarily due to the collection
of a settlement of approximately $0.1 million received by the Company from a
tenant for receivables that the Company had previously reserved. The Company
also recognized approximately $0.1 million in bad debt charges related to
various tenants in the third quarter of 2008.
• Depreciation expense increased $3.7 million, or 30.7%, due mainly to
approximately $2.5 million in additional depreciation recognized in the third
quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 related to the Company's 2008 and 2009 real
estate acquisitions and $0.5 million related to properties previously under
construction that commenced operations during 2008. The remainder of the
increase of approximately $0.7 million was mainly due to additional depreciation
expense recognized related to various building and tenant improvement
expenditures.
• Amortization expense increased $0.5 million, or 60.7%, due mainly to
additional amortization of approximately $0.8 million recognized on lease
intangibles acquired related to the Company's 2008 real estate
acquisitions, offset partially by a decrease in amortization of approximately
$0.4 million on lease intangibles acquired related mainly to the Company's 2003
and 2004 real estate acquisitions which are becoming fully amortized.
Other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2009
decreased unfavorably by $0.6 million, or 7.3%, compared to the same period in
2008 mainly due to the gain on the extinguishment of debt of approximately
$2.0 million recorded in the third quarter of 2008. This decrease resulting from
the gain was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense of $1.3
million, or 11.7%, from 2008 to 2009. This reduction in interest was mainly
attributable to lower interest of approximately $0.5 million as a result of
certain repurchases of the Senior Notes due 2011 and 2014 during 2008, an
increase in the capitalization of interest of approximately $1.0 million
relating to the Company's construction projects, as well as a decrease in
interest rates on the Company's previous unsecured credit facility resulting in
a reduction of approximately $0.9 million in interest. These decreases were
partially offset by an increase in interest of approximately $1.2 million
related to mortgage notes payable assumed by the Company in connection with its
investments in two consolidated joint ventures during 2008 and 2009.
Income from discontinued operations totaled $0.4 million and $1.8 million,
respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, which
includes the results of operations and gains on sale related to assets
classified as held for sale or disposed of as of September 30, 2009. The Company
disposed of one property during the third quarter of 2009, with one property
remaining in held for sale at September 30, 2009.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
2008
Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 was $25.7 million, compared to $13.4 million for the same period in 2008.
Net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 was $46.7 million, or $0.80 per basic common share ($0.79 per
diluted common share), compared to $26.1 million, or $0.53 per basic common
share ($0.52 per diluted common share), for the same period in 2008.
