$227 million of proceeds from contributions to KKR JV
Repurchased shares totaling over $175 million
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (NYSE:HR) announced in early May that it had entered into a strategic joint venture with KKR (“KKR JV”) to own and invest in quality medical outpatient buildings. To date, the Company has contributed 10 properties to the KKR JV that have generated $227 million of proceeds. The Company expects to contribute additional properties to the KKR JV that will bring total proceeds in excess of $300 million. Beyond the initial property contributions, KKR has committed up to an additional $600 million of capital to increase the potential value of the JV to $1 billion. Healthcare Realty will retain a 20% interest and manage the JV, as well as continue to oversee day-to-day operations and leasing of the properties.
Separate from the KKR JV, the Company has additional transactions under contract and letters of intent that are expected to generate further proceeds of more than $300 million by early August. Proceeds from the KKR JV as well as additional transactions are expected to be used to repurchase shares on a leverage neutral basis. The Company has repurchased shares totaling over $175 million since April 1, 2024.
“We are making progress on our near-term capital allocation priorities,” stated Todd Meredith, President and CEO. “Combined with operational momentum, our capital allocation execution is on track to improve dividend coverage and accelerate FFO growth.”
