News Release

Community Healthcare Trust Announces Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024

FRANKLIN, Tenn., February 18, 2025 / PRNewswire / -- Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated (NYSE: CHCT) (the "Company") today announced results for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The Company reported net income for the three months ended December 31, 2024 of approximately $1.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted common share. Funds from operations ("FFO") and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") for the three months ended December 31, 2024 totaled $0.48 and $0.55, respectively, per diluted common share. 

Items Impacting Our Results include:

•During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company acquired three properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8.2 million. Upon acquisition, the properties totaling approximately 38,000 square feet, were 100.0% leased in the aggregate with lease expirations through 2029. These acquisitions were funded with proceeds from the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.

•During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company disposed of one property in Texas and a land parcel adjacent to a property in Georgia. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $1.4 million and recognized an immaterial gain in the aggregate on the dispositions.

•The Company has entered into a definitive purchase agreement for a residential treatment campus consisting of five buildings with an expected purchase price of approximately $9.5 million and an expected return of 9.5%. The Company expects to close on this investment during the first quarter of 2025; however, the Company cannot provide assurance as to the timing of when, or whether, the transaction will actually close.

•The Company also 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 first quarter of 2025 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.

•As previously announced, on October 16, 2024, the Company entered into a second amendment to the third amended and restated credit agreement, which among other things, (i) increased the Company's revolving credit facility to $400.0 million, (ii) extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to October 16, 2029, and (iii) lowered pricing on the revolving credit facility by 10 to 30 basis points, depending on the Company's leverage ratio.

•During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company did not issue any shares under its at-the-market offering program.

•On February 13, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend in the amount of $0.4675 per share. The dividend is payable on March 5, 2025 to stockholders of record on February 24, 2025.

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)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.
