News Release
Community Healthcare Trust Announces Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
FRANKLIN, Tenn., July 30, 2024 / PRNewswire / -- Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated (NYSE: CHCT) (the "Company") today announced results for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of approximately $10.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted common share. Funds from operations ("FFO") and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $0.43 and $0.53, respectively, per diluted common share.
Items Impacting Our Results include:
•During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company determined that the collectability of certain lease and interest payments with a geriatric inpatient behavioral hospital tenant were not reasonably assured. The Company has six leases with this hospital tenant. The tenant has experienced challenges with patient census and employee staffing, which has impacted cash flows from operations and the consistency of rent and interest payments to the Company. As a result, the Company recorded reserves on accounts receivable totaling $1.9 million, including $0.9 million of non-cash straight-line rent, and recorded a $1.4 million allowance on its interest receivables and placed them on non-accrual status, resulting in a reduction of FFO per diluted share of approximately $0.12 and a reduction in AFFO per diluted share, which adds back non-cash straight-line rent, by approximately $0.09 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company also has a term loan and revolving credit facility with this tenant totaling approximately $22.7 million. Based on the Company's valuation of the underlying collateral, the Company recorded an $11.0 million credit loss reserve on its notes receivable with the tenant at June 30, 2024 . Because the Company views its notes receivable as incidental to its business of acquiring and leasing real estate, the $11.0 million credit loss reserve was added back in calculating FFO and, therefore, does not impact FFO or AFFO per diluted share.
•During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company acquired one inpatient rehabilitation facility for a purchase price of approximately $23.5 million. Upon acquisition, the 38,000 square foot property was 100.0% leased to a tenant with a lease expiration in 2039. These acquisitions were funded with proceeds from the Company's Revolving Credit Facility and through net proceeds from equity sales through the ATM program.
•Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company acquired one medical office building for a purchase price of approximately $6.2 million and cash consideration of approximately $6.3 million. Upon acquisition, the property was 100.0% leased with a lease expiration in 2027. The acquisition was funded with proceeds from the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.
•The Company has seven properties under definitive purchase agreements, to be acquired after completion and occupancy, for an aggregate expected purchase price of approximately $169.5 million. The Company's expected returns on these investments are approximately 9.1% to 9.75%. The Company anticipates closing on one of these properties in the fourth quarter of 2024 with the remainder throughout 2025, 2026 and 2027; however, the Company cannot provide assurance as to the timing of when, or whether, these transactions will actually close.
•During the second quarter of 2024, the Company issued, through its at-the-market offering program, approximately 294,000 shares of common stock at an average gross sales price of $24.17 per share for net proceeds of approximately $7.0 million at an approximate 7.77% current equity yield.
•On July 25, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend in the amount of $0.4625 per share. The dividend is payable on August 23, 2024 to stockholders of record on August 9, 2024.

(1) |  | 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") 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 AFFO is useful because it allows 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 is an operating performance measure adopted by NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as the most commonly accepted and reported measure of a REIT’s operating performance equal to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity, plus depreciation and amortization related to real estate properties, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. NAREIT also provides REITs with an option to exclude gains, losses and impairments of assets that are incidental to the main business of the REIT from the calculation of FFO. In addition to FFO, the Company presents AFFO and AFFO per share. The Company defines AFFO as FFO, excluding certain expenses related to closing costs of properties acquired accounted for as business combinations and mortgages funded, excluding straight-line rent and the amortization of stock-based compensation, and including or excluding other non-cash items from time to time. 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 definition. 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 and AFFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented elsewhere herein.
(2) |  | Net loss and FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2024 included reversals of rent and interest related to a tenant totaling approximately $3.2 million, including straight-line rent of approximately $0.9 million, resulting in a reduction of FFO per diluted share of approximately $0.12 per diluted share. AFFO, which adds back straight-line rent, was reduced by approximately $0.09 per diluted share for the three months ending June 30, 2024.
(3) |  | Net income and FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included a $0.7 million net casualty gain from insurance proceeds received related to one property that was vandalized. The net gain increased FFO by $0.03 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
(4) |  | During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an $11.0 million credit loss reserve related to notes receivable that are incidental to the Company's main business with a geriatric inpatient behavioral hospital tenant.
(5) |  | Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for FFO and AFFO are calculated based on the treasury method, rather than the 2-class method used to calculate earnings per share.
