08 Julio 2024 - 3:05PM
Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (NYSE:HR) today provided a
second quarter update on its operational and capital allocation
momentum.
OPERATIONAL MOMENTUMIn the second quarter, new signed leases
totaled 432,000 square feet, the fourth consecutive quarter above
400,000. Multi-tenant absorption in the second quarter was 122,000
square feet. Combined with the first quarter, multi-tenant
absorption for the first half of the year was 183,000 square feet,
which was above the guidance range of 90,000 to 140,000 square feet
provided in the Company’s Multi-tenant Occupancy and NOI Bridge.
Over the last three quarters, multi-tenant occupancy has increased
371,000 square feet, representing approximately 110 basis points of
positive absorption.
STEWARD HEALTH
Steward Health has paid substantially all rent owed for June and
July. In the second quarter, Healthcare Realty expects to reserve
approximately $3.0 million of unpaid pre-bankruptcy rent, which
includes a portion of March, all of April, and the first five days
of May. Rent owed for May following Steward’s bankruptcy
filing on May 6 is expected to be paid as part of the outcome
of the bankruptcy process.
CAPITAL ALLOCATION MOMENTUMAs previously disclosed, Healthcare
Realty has generated approximately $400 million of proceeds from
joint venture (JV) and asset sale transactions year-to-date. The
Company also has additional asset sales and JV transactions under
contract or LOI that are now expected to increase proceeds to over
$1 billion. This includes expected proceeds from asset
contributions to the Company’s KKR and Nuveen Real Estate JVs. The
majority of these transactions are expected to be completed in the
third quarter, and proceeds will fund accretive, leverage neutral
share repurchases and existing capital commitments.
To date, the Company has repurchased 18.0 million shares of its
common stock for $286 million at an average price of $15.85 per
share. The Company expects the weighted average shares outstanding
for the second quarter to be approximately 376.7 million shares, a
reduction of 6.7 million shares compared to the first quarter.
“We are making meaningful progress on our capital allocation and
operating priorities. We continue to see strong leasing momentum
and occupancy gains,” stated Todd Meredith, President and CEO.
“Looking ahead, we expect this progress to lead to improved
dividend coverage and accelerated FFO growth.”
