MPT responds to WSJ article on $300M lease intangible; expects no FFO impact from acceleration
MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST INC
- Approximately $300M in-place lease intangible tied to Steward lease; amortization may be accelerated if lease terminates.
- Acceleration is non-cash, non-economic; no impact on NAREIT-defined FFO or normalized FFO.
- CommonSpirit expected to pay 7.8% lease rate; Steward to subsidize differential; 15-year lease, undiscounted cash flows ~$1.8B vs $1.2B book value.
- Company previously recorded $171M real estate impairment in Q4 2022 related to Prospect Medical non-payment.
- MPT reiterates adherence to GAAP; accounting treatment differs from impairment and does not reflect lease revenue potential.
