NHI Reports Second Quarter Normalized FFO


MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – (August 4, 2011) National Health Investors, Inc. (NYSE:NHI) announced today its normalized Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011.


Financial Results

Normalized FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was $20,180,000, or $0.73 per basic and diluted common share, compared with $19,255,000, or $0.70 per basic and diluted common share, for the same period in 2010.  Normalized FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2011 excludes $8,655,000 in gains on sales of marketable securities and a $988,000 decline in the fair value of an interest rate swap agreement.  Normalized FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2010 excludes $573,000 in recoveries of previous write-downs and other adjustments of $40,000.


FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was $27,847,000, or $1.00 per basic and diluted common share, compared with $19,868,000, or $0.72 per basic and diluted common share, respectively, for the same period in 2010.  Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was $25,117,000, or $0.90 per basic and diluted common share, compared with net income of $19,189,000, or $0.69 per basic and diluted common share, for the same period in 2010.


Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $38,257,000, or $1.38 per basic and diluted common share, compared with $36,429,000, or $1.32 per basic and diluted common share, for the same period in 2010.  Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2011 excludes $8,809,000 in gains on sales of marketable securities and a $266,000 increase in the fair value of an interest rate swap agreement.  Beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company has included in its definition of normalized FFO the change in the fair value of an interest rate swap agreement, a non-cash adjustment.  Accordingly, the normalized FFO per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 is now $0.65 rather than $0.70 per basic and diluted common share, as previously reported.  Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2010 excludes $1,520,000 in collections of past due rent, $573,000 in recoveries of previous write-downs and other adjustments of $250,000.

(1) Management believes that funds from operations (FFO) is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a real estate investment trust.  Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.  Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a real estate investment trust that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative, and should be supplemented with a measure such as FFO.  The term FFO was designed by the real estate investment trust industry to address this issue.  Our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other REITs.  Consequently, our funds from operations may not provide a meaningful measure of our performance as compared to that of other REITs.  Since other REITs may not use our definition of FFO, caution should be exercised when comparing our Company’s FFO to that of other REITs.  FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP (funds from operations does not include changes in operating assets and liabilities) and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net earnings as an indication of operating performance, or to net cash flow from operating activities as determined by GAAP in the United States, as a measure of liquidity and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

 

(2) Normalized FFO excludes from FFO certain items which, due to their infrequent or unpredictable nature, may create some difficulty in comparing funds from operations for the current period to similar prior periods.

 

(3) Beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company has included in its definition of normalized FFO the change in the fair value of an interest rate swap agreement, a non-cash adjustment.  Accordingly, the normalized FFO per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 is now $0.65 rather than $0.70 per basic and diluted common share, as previously reported.
