Physicians Realty Trust Provides Supplemental Update Pertaining to COVID-19 Pandemic

Announces Year-To-Date At The Market Equity Issuance of $239.3 million

MILWAUKEE--()--Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE:DOC) (the “Company”) has provided a Supplemental Update pertaining to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which can be found on the Company’s homepage and within the Investor Relations portion of the Company’s website at www.docreit.com. The Company’s observations are based on current information and may change as the pandemic evolves.

John T. Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “While we are proud to declare and pay our 27th consecutive quarterly dividend, our thoughts, hearts, and prayers are with all of our DOC team and families, and the healthcare providers that we are proud to call our partners during this period of national crisis. Just as we have faith in our nation’s healthcare providers as they respond to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we believe in the resiliency of DOC’s medical office portfolio in the presence of unprecedented demand on our healthcare system and market volatility. Our portfolio was built with an emphasis on assets critical to the delivery of essential outpatient care occupied by the world’s largest investment grade and credit worthy health systems. We funded these investments through the conservative use of equity and to a lesser extent long term leverage: a formula that we believe places us at an advantage during this time of uncertainty. Our average remaining lease term is over 7 years and our balance sheet is strong, as noted in the Supplemental Update provided on our website. We anticipated higher acquisition growth in 2020, but in light of current capital market conditions, we are withdrawing our 2020 acquisition guidance for now. We will monitor the needs of our current client and investment opportunities, consistent with our history of prudent allocations of capital.”

“We look forward to detailing our quarterly performance in our earnings release and related conference call, scheduled on May 7, 2020. Until then, we will continue to closely monitor any developments within our portfolio. Our providers and the DOC team remain focused on supporting the needs of our health care system and the patients they serve, all pursuant to the direction of U.S. federal, state and local government directives and the U.S. Center for Disease Control,” Mr. Thomas concluded.
