| Prime delivered another quarter of strong performance with trailing 12-month EBITDARM coverage of two times after removing the impact of St |
| The real answer to that question I think for us is that we've been extremely pleased with the amount of interest we've gotten in almost all of the facilities |
| ScionHealth's general acute hospitals have seen an 11% increase in year-to-date revenue over prior year, driven by increases in both admissions and surgeries |
| Priory delivered EBITDARM coverage of 2.2 times for the quarter and continues to benefit from the rapid growth of behavioral health services in the UK |
| We believe these recent transactions and other processes we are actively engaged in, clearly demonstrate that our assets remain attractive to operators and sophistic real estate investors around the world |
| ScionHealth has produced consistent quarter-over-quarter coverage improvements in the past year by growing revenue while reducing contract labor |
| As such, we remain disciplined and optimistic in our ability to continue to execute transactions on attractive terms and we feel good about where we stand today relative to our $2 billion target for 2024 |
| It is capitalizing on this trend by driving increases to its already high utilization rate, negotiating reimbursement rate increases and ensuring efficient cost management |
| LifePoint behavioral's ability to manage labor costs in a rising wage environment has further enabled them to maintain strong performance |
| Prospect's EBITDARM has improved year-over-year, driven by increased admission volumes, higher medical reimbursement rates and lower supplies cost |
| Our LifePoint behavioral facilities continue to benefit from increased revenues resulting from increased inpatient volume |
| And combining this with their physician recruitment successes, we believe this market is well-positioned for improved performance |
| As this breakdown demonstrates, the portfolio continues to perform well, reinforcing our conviction in MPT's underlying business model |
| Given the highly diversified portfolio of assets we've assembled over that period, we are confident in our ability to find competent replacement operators as needed and continue to execute sales and achieve our objectives |
| CommonSpirit, which recently announced that it would take over direct management of our five Utah hospitals from Centura Health continues to deliver strong property level performance, reporting steady volumes across hospitals during the quarter |
| Overall, our Ernest portfolio continues to deliver steady performance |
| As private insurance coverage expands in the UK, Circle Health continues to demonstrate steady financial performance |
| Shifting to our approximately $5 billion Americas portfolio, we have been pleased to see operators largely maintain hospital volumes while making significant progress in reducing contract labor |
| This speaks very strongly of continued investor interest and confidence in well underwritten hospitals that are necessary to a community's overall healthcare infrastructure |
| The new leadership for this market is excited about the positive clinical impact this will have for their patients |
| Importantly, and encouragingly, the economics of the transaction imply a capitalization rate of about 7.4% that is obviously much better than what our share price implies or even what some investors believe our secured financing rate would be |
| LifePoint has made significant strides in reducing contract labor by nearly half, as they execute on their recruiting and retention initiatives, particularly on the physician recruitment side, which, over time, we expect will result in improved volumes and revenue |
| Prime has successfully reduced contract labor costs, while inpatient and ER volumes continue to increase year-over-year across our facilities |
| Negotiated reimbursement rate increases in Germany were above expectations, and a stabilization in energy expenses have allowed MEDIAN to achieve its 2023 financial targets |
| Earlier this year, Swiss Medical launched the first integrated care organization in Switzerland, providing a first mover advantage in an untapped market |
| We are pleased with our portfolio's Q3 2023 performance compared to that of public reporting hospitals |
| Other recent hospital sales to Prime for $460 million, which generated very attractive IRRs and fully recovered our initial investment from at least 10 years earlier |
| Since outlining this new capital allocation approach last year, we have made significant strides and I'd like to begin today by highlighting that progress |
| Beginning with Europe, broadly speaking, we are encouraged by recent market trends including increased occupancy rate, growing reimbursement revenue and the continued normalization of labor cost |
| And that is why we are encouraged by the progress we are making and our potential path to exceeding our initial $2 billion target, which as a reminder does not account for any proceeds from a sale of our Connecticut assets to Yale, any monetization of our interest in prospects PHP managed care business, or any possible proceeds from resolution of the previously mentioned so-called non-top 10 operator that we discussed on last quarter's call |
| Statement |

| During our last call in October, we discussed Steward's revenue cycle management challenges, which has resulted in a sizable accounts payable backlog |
| Unfortunately, since that time, Steward's cash collection challenges have become more pronounced and the resulting changes to vendor payment terms have put pressure on supplies constraining Steward's ability to perform higher-margin surgeries that are a key driver of cash flow |
| While hospital operators have spent the past several years, navigating challenges ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic to unprecedented labor shortages to insufficient reimbursement rates and some tenants has suffered more long-term impacts from those headwinds than others |
| I'm not sure if you talked about this and I apologize if you did, but the LTAC rent coverage going down to 1.1% with the most recent reporting versus one for the reporting before 119 [ph] a year ago |
| The reason for the decline in the LTAC is that the waivers that everybody had during COVID have obviously all gone away |
| Secondly, it's dependent upon a satisfactory monetization of its own stewardship managed care business |
| This morning we reported a GAAP net loss of $1.11 per share and normalized FFO of a positive $0.36 per share for the fourth quarter of 2023 |
| While its long-term acute care hospitals continue to navigate the impacts of admission criteria waivers that were eliminated in the first half of 2023 |
| Finally, we made a $30 million charge in earnings from equity interest to reflect the reserves for billed and straight-line rent on the properties included in the Massachusetts joint venture |
| $112 million of real estate impairments with the assistance of a third-party independent appraiser we analyzed all Steward properties, and many others were possible impairment this quarter and identified less than 10 properties where our net book value exceeded the estimated fair value and we adjusted our books accordingly |
| This is particularly true at their Conemaugh Memorial Hospital in Pennsylvania, where any underperformance has an outsized impact on coverages for this portfolio |
