Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Universal Health Realty Income Trust reported higher earnings for the first quarter of 2026. Net income rose to $5.0 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, up from $4.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, a year earlier. Total revenues were essentially flat at about $24.5 million.

Funds from operations, a key REIT performance metric, increased to $12.3 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, compared with $11.9 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, helped by lower interest expense and slightly stronger property income. The Trust paid a first quarter dividend of $0.745 per share, totaling about $10.3 million.

The Trust amended its credit agreement in April 2026, expanding borrowing capacity to $475 million with $359.5 million outstanding as of March 31, 2026. It is also developing the Miller Medical Plaza, an 80,000 square foot medical office building in Florida with an estimated cost of $34 million and a 10-year master flex lease covering about 75% of rentable space.

Insights

Modest earnings growth, expanded credit capacity, and a new MOB project.

Universal Health Realty Income Trust delivered slightly higher Q1 2026 net income of $5.0 million and FFO of $12.3 million. Earnings and FFO per diluted share each increased by $0.02, driven mainly by lower interest expense and small property-level gains.

The Trust maintained its income focus with a quarterly dividend of $0.745 per share, or $10.3 million in total. Balance sheet data show line-of-credit borrowings of $359.5 million against total assets of $563.8 million, indicating material use of debt funding but within an expanded $475 million facility.

Strategically, the $34 million Miller Medical Plaza development in Florida adds an 80,000 square foot medical office building anchored by a 10-year master flex lease for about 75% of rentable space. Future filings around Q4 2026, when construction is expected to complete, may clarify rent contributions and occupancy trends.

funds from operations ("FFO") financial
"As calculated on the attached Schedule of Non-GAAP Supplemental Information (“Supplemental Schedule”), our funds from operations ("FFO") were $12.3 million"
Funds from operations ("FFO") is a measure used mainly for real estate companies that adjusts accounting profit to better show recurring cash-generating performance. Think of it as a landlord’s report of rent-like income: it adds back non-cash charges such as depreciation and removes one-time gains from property sales so investors can see the steady, repeatable earnings that matter for dividend coverage and valuation.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share ... are non-GAAP financial measures"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST

REPORTS 2026 FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Consolidated Results of Operations - Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA - Universal Health Realty Income Trust (NYSE:UHT) announced today that for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, net income was $5.0 million, or $.36 per diluted share, as compared to $4.8 million, or $.34 per diluted share, during the first quarter of 2025.

The increase in our net income of $242,000, or $.02 per diluted share, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the first quarter of 2025, consisted of the following: (i) an increase of $217,000, or $.02 per diluted share, resulting from a decrease in interest expense due primarily to a decrease in our average effective borrowing rate (which gives effect to various interest rate swap agreements), and; (ii) a net aggregate increase of $25,000 resulting from increased income generated at various properties.

As calculated on the attached Schedule of Non-GAAP Supplemental Information (“Supplemental Schedule”), our funds from operations ("FFO") were $12.3 million, or $.88 per diluted share, during the first quarter of 2026, as compared to $11.9 million, or $.86 per diluted share during the first quarter of 2025. The increase of $336,000, or $.02 per diluted share, was due primarily to the above-mentioned increase in our net income during the first quarter of 2026, as compared to the first quarter of 2025, as well as an increase in depreciation and amortization expense.

Dividend Information:

The first quarter dividend of $.745 per share, or $10.3 million in the aggregate, was declared on March 11, 2026 and paid on March 31, 2026.

Credit Agreement Amendment and Capital Resources Information:

In April, 2026, and as previously disclosed on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2026, we entered into the first amendment to the second amended and restated credit agreement which increased the borrowing capacity to $475 million from $425 million previously. The maturity date, which was unchanged, is September 30, 2028, and we have the option to extend the maturity date for two additional six-month periods.

As of March 31, 2026, we had $359.5 million of borrowings outstanding pursuant to the terms of our credit agreement.

 


 

 

Miller Medical Plaza:

In October 2025, we entered into a ground lease with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS with the intent to develop, construct and own the real property of the Miller Medical Plaza, an 80,000 square foot MOB located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This MOB will be located on the campus of the Alan B. Miller Medical Center, a newly constructed acute care hospital owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which is scheduled to be completed and opened during the second quarter of 2026.

Construction of this MOB, for which we have engaged a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS to act as project manager, commenced in February 2026, and is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2026. The cost of the MOB is estimated to be approximately $34 million. A wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS has executed a 10-year master flex lease agreement, which commences when building is completed and is subject to reduction based on the execution of third-party leases, for approximately 75% of the rentable square feet of the MOB.

General Information, Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Universal Health Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust, invests in healthcare and human-service related facilities including acute care hospitals, behavioral health care hospitals, specialty facilities, medical/office buildings, free-standing emergency departments and childcare centers. We have investments or commitments in seventy-seven properties located in twenty-one states.

This press release contains forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. Numerous factors, including those disclosed herein, as well as the operations and financial results of each of our tenants, those related to healthcare industry trends and those detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as set forth in Item 1A-Risk Factors and in Item 7 - Forward-Looking Statements in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025), may cause the results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements which reflect management’s view only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Many of the factors that could affect our future results are beyond our control or ability to predict. Future operations and financial results of our tenants, and in turn ours, could be materially impacted by various developments including, but not limited to, potential significant reductions in federal funding for state Medicaid programs, and/or other potential changes, which would likely result in reduced Medicaid payments to the operators of our facilities; decreases in staffing availability and related increases to wage expense experienced by our tenants resulting from the shortage of nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel; the impact of government and administrative regulation of the health care industry; declining patient volumes and unfavorable changes in payer mix caused by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions (including increases in uninsured and underinsured patients as the result of, among other things, the December 31, 2025 expiration of the enhanced subsidies formerly granted in connection with the purchase of coverage through insurance exchanges as provided for by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, business closings and layoffs); potential cost increases and disruptions related to supplies and building materials resulting from changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular, increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from where the products or materials are made; and potential increases to other expenditures.

In addition, the increase in interest rates during the past few years has substantially increased our borrowings costs and reduced our ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms. Additional

 


 

 

increases in interest rates could have a significant unfavorable impact on our future results of operations and the resulting effect on the capital markets could adversely affect our ability to carry out our strategy.

We believe that, if and when applicable, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share (as reflected on the Supplemental Schedule), which are non-GAAP financial measures (“GAAP” is Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America), are helpful to our investors as measures of our operating performance. In addition, we believe that, when applicable, comparing and discussing our financial results based on these measures, as calculated, is helpful to our investors since it neutralizes the effect in each year of material items that are non-recurring or non-operational in nature including items such as, but not limited to, gains or losses on transactions.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a widely recognized measure of performance for Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”). We believe that FFO and FFO per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, are helpful to our investors as measures of our operating performance. We compute FFO, as reflected on the attached Supplemental Schedules, in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. FFO adjusts for the effects of certain items, such as gains or losses on transactions that occurred during the periods presented. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) a measure of our liquidity, or; (iv) an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. A reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO is reflected on the Supplemental Schedules included below.

To obtain a complete understanding of our financial performance these measures should be examined in connection with net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in this report or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including our Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Since the items included or excluded from these measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance under GAAP, these measures should not be considered to be alternatives to net income as a measure of our operating performance or profitability. Since these measures, as presented, are not determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Investors are encouraged to use GAAP measures when evaluating our financial performance.
