Dividend Declared

On June 21, 2018, Physicians Realty Trust announced that the Company’s Board of Trustees has authorized, and the Company has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per common share and unit for the quarter ending June 30, 2018. The dividend will be payable on July 18, 2018, to common shareholders and unit-holders of record on July 03, 2018.

Physicians Realty Trust’s indicated dividend represents a yield of 5.74%, which is substantially higher than the average dividend yield of 3.07% for the financial sector. The Company has declared and paid dividend for twenty consecutive quarters.

Dividend Insights

Physicians Realty Trust has a dividend payout ratio of 84.4%, which indicates that the Company distributes approximately $0.84 for every $1.00 earned. The dividend payout ratio reflects how much amount a company is returning to shareholders versus how much money it is keeping on hand to reinvest in growth, to pay off debt, and/or to add to its cash reserves.

According to analysts’ estimates, Physicians Realty Trust is forecasted to report earnings of $0.30 for the upcoming year compared to the Company’s annualized dividend of $0.92. One of the primary reasons for the difference between earnings and annualized dividend is that Physicians Realty Trust is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) which is structured by law to distribute at least 90% of earnings. Moreover, since REITs generate income from owning portfolios of investment real estate, they are likely to have higher depreciation charges.

Since depreciation is a non-cash charge, it does not directly impact the ability of dividend the companies can distribute. For this reason, Fund from Operations (FFO) is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization (D&A) to earnings and subtracting any gains on sales which then provides a better picture of any company’s profitability and capacity to pay and to sustain dividends. For instance, Physicians Realty Trust’s net income attributable to common shareholders was $10.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for Q1 2018 compared to $6.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in Q1 2017.

On the other hand, Physicians Realty Trust’s normalized FFO was $49.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for Q1 2018, compared to $34.1 million, or $0.24 per share, in Q1 2017. The Company’s FFO number indicates that it should be able to comfortably cover its dividend payout.

Upcoming Earnings

On June 21, 2018, Physicians Realty Trust announced it will release its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018, before the market opens on August 02, 2018, and will hold a conference call on the same day at 2:00 p.m. ET to discuss the financial results and provide a Company update.
