Dear Fellow Shareholders:
I am pleased to report that 2024 was another good year for Universal Health Realty
Income Trust. We achieved year-over-year revenue growth of 3.6% and our funds from
operations per diluted share increased 7.1% to $3.46 in 2024 from $3.23 in 2023. We also
continued our record of consistently rewarding shareholders with increasing dividend payouts
by increasing our dividend for the thirty-eighth consecutive year to an annualized rate of
$2.94 per diluted share.
Our disciplined approach to growth has resulted in a strong and diversified portfolio of
healthcare properties consisting of seventy-six facilities located in twenty-one states
including medical office buildings that are located on and off hospital campuses, acute care
hospitals, behavioral health hospitals, freestanding emergency departments, and childcare
centers. We have a robust pipeline of investment opportunities including property
acquisitions and de novo development projects. Our balance sheet is strong, and we have
ample capital resources to finance our growth initiatives. In 2024, we increased borrowing
capacity by $50 million and extended the maturity date of our credit agreement to
September 2028.
We look forward to the remainder of 2025 with enthusiasm as we continue our efforts
to build upon our long record of success by growing our portfolio in a focused and
disciplined manner, maintaining our healthy balance sheet and continuing to provide
shareholders with a secure and reliable dividend stream.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I thank you for your ongoing support and continued
confidence.
Sincerely,
Alan B. Miller
Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer
