Medical Properties Trust Inc【MPW】株式ニュース

It has now broken through, good job.
I wasn't criticizing, I said you were too early. NOW you can gloat.
BTW, the earnings projections show very little growth and I know this company has been liquidating its assets to pay the dividend, which btw, keeps getting cut.
You may be right and I may be wrong, but I wouldn't touch this stock again.....

Medical Properties Trust, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results

Completed Approximately $5.5 Billion of Asset Monetization Transactions, Including February’s $2.5 Billion Senior Secured Notes Offering That Addresses All Debt Maturities Through 2026

Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “MPT”) (NYSE: MPW) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2024, as well as certain events occurring subsequent to quarter end.

Fourth quarter 2024 net loss includes approximately $415 million ($0.69 per share) in impairments and fair market value adjustments related to Prospect Medical Group (“Prospect”) and PHP Holdings (“PHP”);

• Completed a well-oversubscribed private offering of more than $2.5 billion of senior secured notes due in 2032 at a blended coupon rate of 7.885%, the proceeds from which will repay all debt maturities until October 2026 and result in expected combined cash and line of credit availability of $1.4 billion;

• Simultaneous to the senior secured notes offering, the Company amended its line of credit to share collateral with the new senior secured notes and received universal affirmation of the long-standing banking group’s approximate $1.5 billion commitment with a fully extended (at MPT’s option) maturity in June 2027;

• Commenced rent during the fourth quarter on a $50 million building improvement project in Idaho Falls, Idaho;

• Sold two post-acute properties and agreed to sell an additional general acute facility during January for combined proceeds of approximately $45 million; and

• Declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share in February.

Edward K. Aldag, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We delivered on exactly what we said we would do in 2024 by using proceeds from transactions to accelerate repayment of debt maturities. Our global real estate portfolio remains attractive to sophisticated investors, as evidenced by our recent five-and-a-half times oversubscribed secured notes transaction. We improved the operator diversification of our portfolio and effectively addressed all debt maturities through 2026, positioning MPT to pursue a range of shareholder value initiatives in 2025.”

Included in the financial tables accompanying this press release is information about the Company’s assets and liabilities, operating results, and reconciliations of net (loss) income to NFFO, including per share amounts, all on a basis comparable to 2023 results.

PORTFOLIO UPDATE

Medical Properties Trust has total assets of approximately $14.3 billion, including $8.6 billion of general acute facilities, $2.4 billion of behavioral health facilities and $1.6 billion of post-acute facilities. As of December 31, 2024, MPT’s portfolio included 396 properties and approximately 39,000 licensed beds leased to or mortgaged by 53 hospital operating companies across the United States as well as in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Finland, Colombia, Italy and Portugal.

Hospitals around Europe are benefiting from strong reimbursement trends, growing occupancy, and higher acuity levels. In the United Kingdom, private medical insurance utilization has reached an all-time high – enabling operators such as Circle Health to deliver strong financial performance driven by volume growth as increasingly complex cases are being addressed in the private sector.

In the United States, hospital fundamentals continue to broadly improve across the general acute segment as increasing admissions and growing surgical volumes are driving improved coverage. In the behavioral and post-acute segments, operators are reporting consistent growth in inpatient admissions as well as improvements in contract labor costs.

Following the first full quarter of operations since transitioning 15 hospitals to new operators in September, MPT is encouraged by performance trends being reported across this portfolio as well as by a fifth tenant who leased two additional facilities in November. Across this footprint, our tenants have reported improving volumes, increasing patient satisfaction, and stabilization of staffing and supplies.

In January, Prospect Medical Group commenced an in-court restructuring process under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In February, MPT entered into a Term Sheet providing for a settlement that will enable Prospect to sell its hospitals and the related real estate with MPT’s cooperation. This settlement is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.
