Universal Health Realty Income Trust (UHT, Financial) released its Q3 2023 earnings report on October 25, 2023. The company reported a net income of $3.9 million, or $.28 per diluted share, a decrease from $4.8 million, or $.35 per diluted share, in Q3 2022. The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in interest expense resulting from increases in UHT's average borrowing rate and average outstanding borrowings.
Financial Performance
The company's funds from operations (FFO) for Q3 2023 were $11.2 million, or $.81 per diluted share, compared to $11.8 million, or $.86 per diluted share, in Q3 2022. The decrease in FFO was primarily due to the decrease in net income, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expense.
