FRANKLIN, Tenn., Nov. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated (NYSE: CHCT) (the "Company") today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The Company reported net income for the third quarter of approximately $2.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share. Funds from operations, normalized funds from operations, and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") for the three months ended September 30, 2018 totaled $0.39, $0.39, and $0.40, respectively, per diluted common share.
Highlights include:
- As previously disclosed, the Company entered into an at-the-market offering program ("ATM Program") with six investment banks under which the Company may issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $100.0 million.
- During the third quarter of 2018, the Company issued, through its ATM Program, 234,000 shares of common stock at an average gross sales price of $31.17 per share and received net proceeds of approximately $7.1 million at an approximate 5.27% current equity yield.
- During the third quarter of 2018, the Company acquired two real estate properties totaling approximately 37,000 square feet for an aggregate purchase price and cash consideration of approximately $6.7 million. Upon acquisition, the properties were 93.4% leased in the aggregate with lease expirations ranging from 2021 through 2023. Transaction costs totaling approximately $0.1 million related to these acquisitions were capitalized in the period and included in real estate assets.
- The Company has 11 properties under definitive purchase agreements for an aggregate expected purchase price of approximately $24.0 million. The Company's expected aggregate returns on these investments range from approximately 9.0% to 9.5%. The Company anticipates the properties will close during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors deem presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For that reason, the Company considers funds from operations ("FFO"), normalized FFO and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") to be appropriate measures of operating performance of an equity real estate investment trust ("REIT"). In particular, the Company believes that normalized FFO and AFFO are useful because they allow investors, analysts and Company management to compare the Company's operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated items and other events.
The Company uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") definition of FFO. FFO and FFO per share are operating performance measures adopted by 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." The Company has included normalized FFO which it has defined as FFO excluding certain expenses related to closing costs of properties acquired accounted for as business combinations and mortgages funded and has included AFFO which it has defined as normalized FFO excluding straight-line rent and deferred compensation and may include other non-cash items from time to time. Normalized FFO and AFFO presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions.
FFO, normalized FFO and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of the Company's financial performance or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of the Company's liquidity, nor are they necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. The Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating results of the Company, FFO, normalized FFO and AFFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented elsewhere herein. |
|
(2) |
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for FFO are calculated based on the treasury method, rather than the 2-class method used to calculate earnings per share. |
