KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Health Realty Income Trust announced today that for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, net income increased 9% to $4.6 million, or $.38 per diluted share, as compared to $4.2 million, or $.35 per diluted share, during the same quarter in the prior year. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, net income increased 12% to $14.0 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, as compared to $12.5 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, during the comparable nine-month period of the prior year.
The increase in net income of $365,000, or $.03 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, was due primarily to an increase in our share of income generated at various properties owned by unconsolidated limited liability companies ("LLCs") in which we hold non-controlling ownership interests as well as an increase in bonus rents earned on the hospital facilities operated by wholly-owned subsidiaries of Universal Health Services, Inc. ("UHS").
The increase in net income of approximately $1.5 million, or $.13 per diluted share, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the comparable prior year period, was due primarily to: (i) an increase in our share of income generated at various unconsolidated LLCs; (ii) the effect of a favorable adjustment resulting from the change in estimate to the operating expenses of an LLC, and; (iii) an increase in bonus rents earned on the UHS hospital facilities.
Funds from operations ("FFO") increased 9% to $8.3 million, or $.70 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $7.6 million, or $.64 per diluted share, during the comparable quarter of the prior year. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, FFO increased 11% to $24.8 million, or $2.09 per diluted share, as compared to $22.4 million, or $1.88 per diluted share during the comparable nine-month period of the prior year.
The third quarter dividend of $.595 per share was paid on September 30, 2009. At September 30, 2009, our shareholders' equity was $138.1 million and our liabilities for borrowed funds were $84.4 million, including mortgage debt of consolidated entities, which is non-recourse to us, totaling $34.2 million.
The increases in base rentals-UHS facilities, depreciation and amortization, other operating expenses and interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the comparable prior year periods, resulted primarily from the operating results of two newly constructed medical office buildings which were completed and opened during the third quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009.
In September, 2009, the Auburn Medical Office Building II located in Auburn, Washington, on the campus of an acute care hospital owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, was completed and opened. At September 30, 2009, construction continues on the Texoma Medical Plaza located in Denison, Texas which is scheduled to be completed and opened in late 2009 or early 2010. Texoma Medical Plaza is located on the campus of a replacement acute care hospital currently under construction by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS.
Universal Health Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust, invests in healthcare and human service related facilities including acute care hospitals, behavioral healthcare facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, sub-acute care facilities, surgery centers, childcare centers and medical office buildings. We have fifty-one real estate investments in fifteen states.
Funds from operations is a widely recognized measure of performance for Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"). We believe that funds from operations and funds from operations per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures ("GAAP" is Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America), are helpful to our investors as measures of our operating performance. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) a measure of our liquidity, or; (iv) an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. A reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO is shown below.
To obtain a complete understanding of our financial performance these measures should be examined in connection with net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in this report or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including our Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Since the items included or excluded from these measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance under GAAP, these measures should not be considered to be alternatives to net income as a measure of our operating performance or profitability. Since these measures, as presented, are not determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Investors are encouraged to use GAAP measures when evaluating our financial performance.
