UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST (UHT)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q3 2025 delivered stable GAAP EPS at $0.29 (flat year-over-year), modest top-line outperformance vs consensus, and improved FFO per share to $0.88; revenue was helped by higher non-related party lease revenue and UHS bonus rent, while EPS was tempered by nonrecurring depreciation .
  • Revenue of $25.302M beat Wall Street consensus of $24.900M by ~1.6% (+$0.402M); EPS consensus was unavailable, limiting the magnitude of the headline “beat” narrative* *.
  • Capital deployment accelerates with a new $34M MOB project (Palm Beach Gardens Medical Plaza I) on the UHS campus, supported by a 10-year master flex lease for ~75% of the rentable square feet; credit facility availability declined to $67.9M, reflecting continued borrowing for growth .
  • Dividend held at $0.74 in Q3 (raised by $0.005 in Q2), reinforcing income stability amid interest-rate headwinds; near-term stock catalysts are tied to execution of the new development and continued FFO resilience .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • FFO per diluted share rose to $0.88 (+$0.06 YoY), with management citing a one-time settlement that added $275,000 (~$0.02 per diluted share) to Q3 results .
  • Lease revenue from non-related parties increased to $14.777M (+$0.435M YoY), and UHS bonus rental at McAllen Medical Center increased to $0.895M vs $0.765M in Q3 2024, supporting recurring rent momentum .
  • Capital pipeline: entered a ground lease for an 80,000 sq ft MOB at Palm Beach Gardens with a 10-year master flex lease covering ~75% of space; project expected to begin in November 2025 and complements long-duration cash flows .

What Went Wrong

  • GAAP net income was essentially flat YoY at $4.016M vs $3.997M despite strong FFO, as Q3 included $0.9M nonrecurring depreciation and other income pressure ($256,000 combined net decrease) offsetting the settlement benefit .
  • Interest expense remained elevated at $4.816M, reflecting higher average borrowings under the credit agreement; management continues to flag rates as a headwind to capital market access and borrowing costs .
  • Credit availability declined sequentially to $67.9M (from $70.2M in Q2 and $75.5M in Q1), indicating less dry powder while development spending ramps; leverage remains primarily via the $425M facility .

Management Commentary

  • “Our net income during the third quarter of 2025… included… an increase of $275,000, or $.02 per diluted share, resulting from a one-time settlement and release agreement… [and] an other combined net decrease of $256,000, or $.02 per diluted share… including approximately $900,000 of nonrecurring depreciation expense recorded during the third quarter of 2025.”
  • “Our funds from operations (‘FFO’)… increased by $908,000, or $.06 per diluted share to $12.2 million, or $.88 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $11.3 million, or $.82 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2024.”
  • On non-GAAP framing: Management underscores that FFO and adjusted metrics are useful for operating performance but not substitutes for GAAP measures, consistent with NAREIT standards .

Q&A Highlights

  • No earnings call transcript or Q&A content was available for Q3 2025 in our document set; the recap above relies on the 8-K press release and company-issued releases .

Estimates Context

  • Revenue: Actual $25.302M vs Wall Street consensus $24.900M; modest beat of ~$0.402M (+1.6%)* *.
  • EPS: Consensus unavailable; EPS printed $0.29 (flat YoY), limiting formal beat/miss assessment* *.
  • Note: S&P Global shows only one estimate on revenue for Q3 2025, which reduces statistical confidence in estimate comparisons*.
    Values marked with an asterisk are retrieved from S&P Global.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • FFO strength: FFO/share improved to $0.88 and FFO grew ~8% YoY, supported by non-related party rent growth and higher McAllen bonus rent; this underpins dividend coverage and income stability .
  • GAAP EPS neutrality: EPS at $0.29 was flat YoY, as nonrecurring depreciation (~$0.9M) offset the settlement benefit; watch for normalization in Q4 as depreciation rolls off .
  • Modest top-line beat: Revenue exceeded consensus by ~1.6%, but limited estimate participation (one estimate) suggests muted market reaction absent incremental disclosures* *.
  • Capital deployment ramp: $34M MOB project with a 10-year UHS master lease (~75% RSF) should add durable rent streams starting post-opening (target Q3 2026) .
  • Balance sheet watch: Credit facility availability trended down ($75.5M → $70.2M → $67.9M), reflecting higher borrowings; rate environment remains a headwind to financing flexibility .
  • Dividend stability: $0.74/share maintained in Q3 after a $0.005 raise in Q2; expect ongoing management focus on sustaining payouts supported by FFO .
  • Near-term catalysts: Execution milestones for Palm Beach Gardens MOB, sustained bonus rent contributions, and any updates on tenant operating trends (staffing, payer mix) could influence sentiment .
