Global Medical REIT Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures for Funds from Operations, Adjusted Funds from Operations, and Normalized Adjusted Funds from Operations are included in the financial tables at the end of this announcement.

BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Global Medical REIT Inc. (NYSE: GMRE) (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation engaged primarily in the acquisition of licensed, state-of-the-art, purpose-built healthcare facilities and the leasing of these facilities to strong clinical operators with leading market share, today announces its financial results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017.

2017 Second Quarter Highlights (all comparisons are to the same quarter in the prior year unless otherwise noted)

  • Total revenue increased to $7.4 million from $1.8 million.
  • Net loss increased to $(0.6) million from $(0.5) million.
  • Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") increased to $0.14 per share from $0.02 per share.
  • During the second quarter, the Company completed four acquisitions containing a total of 125,966 net leasable square feet for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $39.8 million.
  • On June 16, 2017, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of June 27, 2017. On an annualized basis, this amounts to a dividend of $0.80 per share.
  • On June 30, 2017, the Company closed on a public underwritten offering of 3.5 million shares of its common stock, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $29.6 million. Subsequent to quarter end, the underwriters exercised in full an option to purchase an additional 525,000 shares of common stock, resulting in additional net proceeds to the Company of $4.5 million.

David A. Young, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We had a successful second quarter on multiple fronts. First and foremost, we continued to add to our portfolio, adding over 125,000 net leasable square feet and ending the quarter with over one million net leasable square feet. We also completed a successful equity offering, raising net proceeds of $34.1 million, including over-allotment option proceeds received in July, which allowed us to continue building our portfolio by helping fund this quarter’s acquisitions.”

Mr. Young continued, “As noted below, we had several acquisitions close near the end of the quarter, which due to that timing, provided minimal contribution to our operating results for the quarter. As those properties earn a full quarter’s worth of rental income going forward, our operating results will benefit accordingly.”

Acquisition Activity

Completed Acquisitions During the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2017

The Company completed four acquisitions during the second quarter of 2017, encompassing an aggregate of 125,966 net leasable square feet for a combined purchase price of approximately $39.8 million at a weighted average cap rate of approximately 8.24%. A description of the completed acquisitions is as follows:

The Company funded this acquisition using borrowings from its revolving credit facility. The acquisitions of the other six of the seven NOMS medical properties were completed on October 7, 2016 (five properties) and March 10, 2017 (one property).
  • On June 27, 2017, the Company closed on the acquisition of a family medicine clinic located in Brockport, New York (the “Brockport Facility”) for a purchase price of $8.67 million. Upon the closing of this acquisition, the Company assumed the seller’s interest, as lessor, in the lease of the Brockport Facility to The Unity Hospital of Rochester. The lease has a remaining lease term of approximately 10 years. The Company funded this acquisition using borrowings from its revolving credit facility.
  • On June 27, 2017, the Company closed on the acquisition of a gastroenterology clinic located in Flower Mound, Texas (the “Flower Mound Facility”) for a purchase price of $4.05 million.

The lease has a remaining lease term of approximately nine years. The Company funded this acquisition using borrowings from its revolving credit facility.
  • On June 30, 2017, the Company closed on the acquisition of a hospital located in Sherman, Texas for a purchase price of $26 million. Upon closing of this acquisition, the Company leased the property back to the seller, SDB Partners, by entering into a new triple-net lease with SDB Partners with an initial term of twenty years and two ten-year extension options.

2017 Second Quarter Financial Review

  • For the three months ended June 30, 2017, total revenue increased to $7.4 million, compared with total revenue of $1.8 million for the second quarter in the prior year. The year-over-year increase was the result of increased rental revenue due to the Company’s larger property portfolio.
  • Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $(0.6) million, or $(0.04) per share based on 17,644,137 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, compared to net loss of $(0.5) million, or $(0.35) per share for the second quarter of the prior year based on 1,426,656 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increases in general and administrative costs, depreciation expense, and interest expense, primarily as a result of the growth in the Company’s property portfolio.
  • Quarterly funds from Operations (“FFO”) per share grew to $0.10 based on 17,644,137 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $0.03 for the second quarter in the prior year based on 1,426,656 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
  • Quarterly AFFO per share grew to $0.14 based on 17,644,137 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $0.02 for the second quarter in the prior year based on 1,426,656 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
  • Quarterly Normalized Adjusted Funds from Operations (“Normalized AFFO”) per share grew to $0.16 based on 17,644,137 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $0.02 for the second quarter in the prior year based on 1,426,656 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

2017 Year-to-Date Financial Review

  • For the six months ended June 30, 2017, total revenue increased to $12.1 million, compared with total revenue of $3.1 million for the comparable prior year period.
  • Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $(1.9) million, or $(0.11) per share based on 17,624,906 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, compared to net loss of $(2.4) million, or $(2.38) per share based on 1,025,821 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to increased rental revenue driven by the growth in the Company’s property portfolio.
  • FFO per share grew to $0.12 based on 17,624,906 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $(1.46) for the comparable prior year period based on 1,025,821 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
  • AFFO per share grew to $0.23 based on 17,624,906 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $(0.70) for the comparable prior year period based on 1,025,821 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
  • Normalized AFFO per share grew to $0.24 based on 17,624,906 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding compared to $(0.70) for the comparable prior year period based on 1,025,821 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Leasing Review

  • At June 30, 2017, the Company’s total portfolio included 46 buildings leased to 35 tenants.
  • The Company’s portfolio contained 1,060,144 net leasable square feet as of June 30, 2017 with an overall leased occupancy rate of 100%.
  • The average lease term remaining for the entire portfolio was 9.4 years at June 30, 2017 with an average annual base rent of $25.37 per square foot.

Balance Sheet Summary

  • The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $12.0 million as of June 30, 2017 compared to $19.7 million as of December 31, 2016.
  • The Company’s gross investment in real estate as of June 30, 2017 was $355.1 million compared to $206.6 million as of December 31, 2016. The gross investment balance includes approximately $17 million and $7 million, respectively, of intangible assets acquired net of intangible liabilities acquired.
  • The Company’s total debt, which includes outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility, third party debt (net of unamortized deferred financing costs), and related party debt, was $183.0 million as of June 30, 2017, compared to $66.5 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company’s weighted-average interest rate and term of its debt was 4.5% and 3.85 years, respectively, as of June 30, 2017, compared to 4.29% and 6.04 years, respectively, as of December 31, 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

FFO, AFFO, and Normalized AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the SEC. The Company considers FFO, AFFO, and Normalized AFFO to be important supplemental measures of its operating performance and believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. In accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”) definition, FFO means net income or loss computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) before non-controlling interests of holders of operating partnership units, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company did not incur any gains or losses from the sales of property or record any adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures during the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016. Because FFO excludes real estate related depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of deferred financing costs), the Company believes that FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from the closest GAAP measurement, net income or loss.

AFFO is a non-GAAP measure used by many investors and analysts to measure a real estate company’s operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations. Management calculates AFFO by modifying the NAREIT computation of FFO by adjusting it for certain cash and non-cash items and certain recurring and non-recurring items. For the Company, these items include recurring acquisition and disposition costs, loss on the extinguishment of debt, recurring straight line deferred rental revenue, recurring stock-based compensation expense, recurring amortization of deferred financing costs, recurring capital expenditures, recurring lease commissions, recurring tenant improvements and other items.

Management calculates Normalized AFFO, which is also a non-GAAP financial measure, by modifying AFFO by adjusting for non-recurring income and expenses. For the Company, these items include the costs of establishing a system of Sarbanes-Oxley-compliant internal controls and procedures and the portion of our General Counsel and Secretary’s salary for 2017 that is reimbursable by the Company to the Company’s external advisor, Inter-American Management, LLC (such reimbursement obligation expires on May 8, 2018).

Management believes that reporting AFFO in addition to FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investment community to use when evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a comparative basis. Management also considers Normalized AFFO to be a useful measure to evaluate the Company’s operating results excluding non-recurring income and expenses. Normalized AFFO can help investors compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies. The Company’s FFO, AFFO, and Normalized AFFO computations may not be comparable to FFO, AFFO, and Normalized AFFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than the Company does or that compute FFO, AFFO, and Normalized AFFO in a different manner.
