Health Care REIT, Inc. (NYSE:HCN) today announced operating
results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 1999.
For 1999, funds from operations (FFO), the generally accepted
measure of operating performance for the real estate investment trust industry, achieved a record level of $78.4 million, or $2.76 per diluted share, a 7 percent per share increase from $66.8 million, or $2.57 per diluted share, for the same period in 1998. Revenues for 1999 increased 32 percent to $129.3 million from $98 million a year ago. Net income available to common shareholders for 1999, totaled $62.8 million, or $2.21 per diluted share, as compared with net income available to common shareholders of $58.1 million, or $2.24 per diluted share, for the same period in 1998.
For the fourth quarter of 1999, FFO totaled $19.9 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, a 6 percent per share increase from $18.4 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the same period in 1998. Revenues for the quarter increased 22 percent to $33.8 million from $27.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998. Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 1999 totaled $14.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, as compared with net income available to common shareholders of $16.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for the same period in 1998.
Revenue growth was generated primarily by new investment activity in 1998 and 1999 of $397.5 million and $275 million, respectively. Investment activity contributed to an 18 percent increase in total assets, which at December 31, 1999, totaled $1.3 billion as compared with total assets of $1.1 billion at December 31, 1998.
Dividend payments to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1999, totaled $64.4 million, or $2.27 per share, as compared with dividend payments of $56.5 million, or $2.19 per share, for the same period in 1998. Correspondingly, the FFO payout ratio for 1999 was 82 percent as compared with 85 percent for 1998.
At December 31, 1999, the company had a total outstanding debt balance of $539 million, and shareholders' equity of $707 million, which represents a debt to total capitalization ratio of 0.43 to 1.0.
"We are pleased with the company's 1999 operating results, which were consistent with consensus estimates and met management's expectations," commented George L. Chapman, chairman and chief executive officer. "The company's FFO growth was generated by continued investment activity, which was supported by the proceeds realized from the placement of $75 million of convertible preferred stock in January, the issuance of $50 million of senior unsecured notes in March and $56 million of asset sales.
"However, the past 12 months have presented many challenges to the health care REIT sector. The underperformance of publicly owned nursing home and assisted living companies, combined with the much publicized shift in equity funds flow from income-oriented investments to high-growth opportunities, have impaired the stock valuations of all health care REITs. The availability of external capital is limited and expensive, constraining new investment activity and earnings growth. We believe the restrictive capital environment will continue until the prospects for the long-term care industry improve.
"Our top priority remains to preserve the company's outstanding fundamentals, that include a well capitalized balance sheet with modest leverage, strong interest coverage and an attractive FFO payout ratio that demonstrates significant dividend coverage.
"In October 1999, we announced a $200 million asset divestiture program, which is proceeding as planned. The limited asset sales will strengthen the company's portfolio and generate liquidity, enhancing the company's balance sheet. This strategy positions the company for new investment and growth opportunities in the future."
Health Care REIT, Inc., with headquarters in Toledo, Ohio, is a real estate investment trust that invests in health care facilities, primarily nursing homes and assisted living facilities. At December 31, 1999, the company had investments in 238 health care facilities in 34 states and had total assets of approximately $1.3 billion.
