Medical Properties Trust posts $736 million Q1 net loss on $693 million impairments
Medical Properties Trust reported a first-quarter net loss of $736 million ($1.23 per share), compared with net income of $33 million a year earlier, driven by $693 million in impairments tied mainly to Steward Health Care. Normalized FFO fell to $142 million ($0.24 per share) from $222 million ($0.37), and the company approved $75 million in debtor-in-possession financing after Steward filed for Chapter 11, which matters to shareholders given the sharp drop in earnings and the impairment charges.
Key points
- Net loss of $736 million ($1.23 per share) vs. net income of $33 million ($0.05 per share) a year earlier; impairments of $693 million included a full reserve on an approximately $360 million Steward loan.
- Normalized FFO of $142 million ($0.24 per share) vs. $222 million ($0.37) a year earlier, primarily due to a significant decrease in Steward-related revenue.
- MPT approved $75 million in debtor-in-possession financing for Steward after its Chapter 11 filing; the financing is subject to bankruptcy court approval.
- Executed $1.6 billion in year-to-date liquidity transactions, 80% of the initial 2024 target, and now expects to exceed the $2.0 billion target.
