Health Care REIT, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results; Declares Regular Dividend

07/17/2001

TOLEDO, Ohio--(BW HealthWire)--July 17, 2001--Health Care REIT, Inc. (NYSE:HCN) today announced operating results for its second quarter of 2001. The company continues to meet financial and operational expectations.

"This was a very productive quarter for us," commented George L. Chapman, chairman and chief executive officer. "First and foremost, we completed a highly successful equity offering. The proceeds from the offering, in part, allowed us to purchase five very attractive nursing home assets, capitalizing on the growing opportunities in that market. On the assisted living side, we made substantial progress in stabilizing our portfolio and are on track for achieving our 2001 occupancy goals. We also realized equity REIT status in the second quarter, positioning the company to reap the benefits of a broader investor universe. Finally, our credit profile improved with the favorable revision in outlook by Fitch.

"The fundamentals for the health care REIT sector and the company continue to improve. These improved fundamentals renewed our access to capital, positioning us to make accretive investments over the next several quarters."

The Board of Directors voted to declare a dividend for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, of $0.585 per share. The dividend represents the 121st consecutive dividend payment. The dividend will be payable August 20, 2001, to shareholders of record on July 31, 2001.

In late June, Health Care REIT completed an equity offering of 3,450,000 shares for total gross proceeds of $78,487,500. Net proceeds from the offering have been, and will be, used to invest in additional health care properties. Pending such use, the proceeds will be used to repay borrowings under the company's revolving line of credit arrangements.

Funds from operations (FFO), the generally accepted measure of operating performance for the real estate investment trust industry, totaled $18.7 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the second three months of 2001, compared with $19.4 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, for the same period in 2000. The decrease was attributable to the decline in revenues generated by the smaller asset base, which resulted from the recently completed asset disposition program.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

FFO totaled $37.2 million, or $1.28 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared with $39.3 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, for the same period in 2000.

The company had a total outstanding debt balance of $371 million at June 30, 2001, down from $443 million in second quarter 2000, and shareholders' equity of $765 million, which represents a debt to total capitalization ratio of 33 percent. The company's coverage ratio of EBITDA to interest was 3.68 to 1.0 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001.

New Facility Investments. The company acquired approximately $30 million of nursing facilities during the quarter. The five facilities, with a total of 609 beds, are located in Tennessee and Florida and are leased to two operators. All of the facilities are stabilized with average occupancy of 96 percent and average coverage after management fees of 1.67 times.

Portfolio Update. The portfolio results met the company's expectations. The company achieved equity REIT status with over 75 percent owned real estate. The seasoning of the assisted living portfolio is on target. By stabilizing 20 facilities with an investment balance of $115 million, management met its goal to stabilize between $100-$125 million of facilities during the first half of the year. The company ended the second quarter with only 24 assisted living facilities remaining in fill-up representing less than 20 percent of revenues. Only eight assisted living facilities have occupancy less than 50 percent.

Outlook for 2001 and 2002. The company previously announced FFO guidance of $0.64 to $0.65 per diluted share per quarter for 2001. With the recent secondary equity offering, the company believes FFO will be $0.62 to $0.63 in third quarter 2001 and $0.64 to $0.65 in fourth quarter 2001. The near term dilution is due to the timing of the redeployment of the equity proceeds.

The company expects the 2002 FFO run rate to increase to $2.64 assuming no further capital or investment activity in 2002.
