TOLEDO, Ohio--(BW HealthWire)--April 26, 2000--Health Care REIT, Inc. (NYSE:HCN) today announced operating results for the first quarter of 2000. Funds from operations (FFO), the generally accepted measure of operating performance for the real estate investment trust industry, totaled $19.9 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, a 4.5 percent per share increase from $19.0 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, for the same period in 1999.
Dividend payments to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2000, totaled $16.6 million, or $0.58 per share, as compared with dividend payments of $15.8 million, or $0.56 per share, for the same period in 1999. Correspondingly, the FFO payout ratio for the first quarter was 83 percent as compared with 84 percent for the first three months of 1999.
"The first quarter operating results met management's expectations," commented George L. Chapman, chairman and chief executive officer. "The modest year-to-year asset and FFO growth reflects the restrictive capital environment that has constrained the health care REIT sector for the past 12 to 18 months. We continue to limit new investment activity to unfunded construction commitments and remain focused on the execution of the company's $200 million asset divestiture program, which is proceeding as planned. The limited asset sales will strengthen our portfolio and generate liquidity, enhancing the company's balance sheet. This strategy positions us to take advantage of investment opportunities as the long-term care industry recovers."
Revenues for the quarter increased 21 percent to $35 million from $28.8 million a year ago. Revenue growth was generated primarily by new investment activity in 1999 of $275 million. Investment activity contributed to a 9 percent increase in total assets, which at March 31, 2000, totaled $1.3 billion as compared with total assets of $1.2 billion at March 31, 1999.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000, was $9.1 million as compared with $4.3 million for the same period in 1999. The increase in the 2000 period was primarily due to the issuance of $114 million of long-term debt during 1999 and higher average borrowings under the company's lines of credit arrangements. The increase in the 2000 period was offset by the amount of capitalized interest recorded during the first three months of 2000.
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 first quarter of 2000, totaled $1.2 million as compared with $3.2 million for the same period in 1999.
Net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter totaled $14.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, as compared with net income available to common shareholders of $16.2 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the same period in 1999. The decline in net income was related primarily to an increase in the company's provision for depreciation and the level of non-recurring revenue recognized in the first quarter of 1999. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the provision for depreciation totaled $5.3 million as compared with $3.6 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 quarter of 1999 were non-recurring gains and prepayment fees of $811,000, as compared with $123,000 for the first three months of 2000.
During the first quarter of 2000, investment activity totaled $18 million. During the same period, the company received principal payments on real estate mortgages of $630,000, and proceeds of $26.4 million derived from asset sales. As of March 31, 2000, the company had approximately $26 million in unfunded commitments.
At March 31, 2000, the company had a total outstanding debt balance of $534 million, and shareholders' equity of $706 million, which represents a debt to total capitalization ratio of 0.43 to 1.0.
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 March 31, 2000, the company had investments in 235 health care facilities in 33 states and had total assets of approximately $1.3 billion.
