LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 29, 1998) Ventas, Inc. (NYSE:VTR) announced today the results of its operations for the two month period from May 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998. As a result of a corporate reorganization effective April 30, 1998, Ventas, Inc. is deemed to have commenced operations on May 1, 1998 and does not have comparable financial results for prior periods.
Funds from operations ("FFO") for the period totaled $15.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share. Pro forma FFO for the period was $20.4 million or $0.30 per diluted share. Pro forma results assume that the Company qualified to be taxed as a real estate investment trust on May 1, 1998 and therefore the provision for income taxes was excluded. The Company defines FFO in accordance with the definition prescribed by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.
Rental income for the period was $37.4 million and income from operations was $8.2 million or $0.12 per diluted share. The Company incurred an extraordinary loss, net of income taxes, of $8.0 million or $0.12 per diluted share, related to the extinguishment of debt during the corporate reorganization.
Ventas, Inc. is a real estate company which owns 218 nursing centers and 46 hospitals in 36 states. Upon qualification for income tax purposes as a real estate investment trust, anticipated on January 1, 1999, Ventas will be one of the largest healthcare REITs in the United States.
