07/18/2000

TOLEDO, Ohio--(BW HealthWire)--July 18, 2000--Health Care REIT, Inc. (NYSE:HCN) today announced operating results for the second quarter of 2000 and six months ending June 30, 2000.

Funds from operations (FFO), the generally accepted measure of operating performance for the real estate investment trust industry, totaled $19.4 million, or $0.68 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2000, as compared with $19.7 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the same period in 1999. Revenues for the quarter increased 6 percent to $34.3 million from $32.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2000 totaled $14.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share as compared with net income available to common shareholders of $15.8 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the same period in 1999.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, FFO totaled $39.3 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, as compared with $38.7 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, for the same period in 1999. Revenues for the six month period increased 13 percent to $69.3 million from $61.3 million a year ago. Net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2000, totaled $29.3 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, as compared with net income available to common shareholders of $32.0 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, for the same period in 1999.

Separately, the Board of Directors voted to declare a dividend for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, of $0.585 per share as compared with $0.57 per share for the same period in 1999. The dividend represents the 117th consecutive dividend payment. The dividend will be payable August 21, 2000, to shareholders of record on August 1, 2000.

Dividend payments to common shareholders during the six months ended June 30, 2000, totaled $33.3 million, or $1.165 per share, as compared with dividend payments of $31.8 million, or $1.125 per share for the same period in 1999. Correspondingly, the FFO payout ratio for the six month period for 2000 was 84 percent as compared with a FFO payout ratio of 83 percent for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

During the first six months of 2000, the company completed asset sales totaling $138 million. The proceeds derived from the sales were used to meet debt maturities, satisfy unfunded commitment obligations, and pay down the company's line of credit arrangements. The asset sales contributed to a 5 percent reduction in total assets, which at June 30, 2000, totaled $1.17 billion.

At June 30, 2000, the company had a total outstanding debt balance of $442 million, and shareholders' equity of $705 million, which represents a debt to total capitalization ratio of 0.39 to 1.0. During the first six months of 2000, the company's coverage ratio of EBITDA to interest was 3.4 to 1.0.

"The combination of asset sales and operating results were consistent with our expectations and stated objectives. We are on track to complete our $200 million asset sales program," commented George L. Chapman, chairman and chief executive officer. "The success of our asset sales has generated liquidity, enhancing the company's balance sheet and financial strength. Although the divestiture program has created a modest reduction in asset size and FFO results, this strategy has effectively preserved the company's fundamental credit qualities, ensuring the certainty of interest and dividend payments. We have elected to maintain the dividend at its current level, with increases to resume once capital becomes available at costs that permit accretive investment activity. We are well positioned to pursue future investment opportunities as our industry recovers."

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000, was $8.6 million as compared with $6.7 million for the same period in 1999. During the six month period ended June 30, 2000, interest expense totaled $17.7 million as compared with $10.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in the 2000 periods was primarily due to the issuance of $114 million of long-term debt during 1999 and higher average borrowings under the company's line of credit arrangements. The increase in the 2000 periods was offset by the amount of capitalized interest recorded.

The company capitalizes certain interest costs associated with funds used to finance the construction of properties owned directly by the company. The amount capitalized is based upon the borrowings outstanding during the construction period using the rate of interest which approximates the company's cost of financing. The company's interest expense is reduced by the amount capitalized. Capitalized interest for the second quarter of 2000, totaled $1.0 million as compared with $2.2 million for the same period in 1999. During the six month period ended June 30, 2000, capitalized interest totaled $2.0 million as compared with $5.1 million for the same period in 1999.

The decline in net income during the three and six month periods was related primarily to an increase in the company's provision for depreciation and the level of non-recurring revenue recognized in the comparable periods in 1999. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, the provision for depreciation totaled $5.3 million as compared with $4.5 million for the same period in 1999. The increased provision for depreciation was the result of additional investments in properties owned directly by the company. Included in net income for the second quarter of 1999 were non-recurring gains and prepayment fees of $550,000, as compared with $451,000 for the second quarter of 2000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the provision for depreciation totaled $10.6 million as compared with $8 million for the same period in 1999. The increased provision for depreciation was the result of additional investments in properties owned directly by the company. Included in net income for the first half of 1999 were non-recurring gains and prepayment fees of $1.4 million, as compared with $574,000 for the first half of 2000.
