FRANKLIN, Tenn., Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated (NYSE: CHCT) (the "Company") today announced results for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The Company reported net income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 of approximately $14.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share. Funds from operations ("FFO") and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") for the three months ended December 31, 2025 totaled $0.49 and $0.55 per diluted common share, respectively.

Items Impacting Our Results include:

   -- During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company acquired an inpatient 
      rehabilitation facility in Florida upon completion of construction for a 
      purchase price of approximately $28.5 million and cash consideration of 
      approximately $28.5 million. The property was 100.0% leased to a tenant 
      with a lease expiration in 2040 and an expected return of approximately 
      9.3%. The acquisition was funded with net proceeds from the sale of an 
      inpatient rehabilitation facility in Texas through a like-kind exchange 
      under Section 1031 of the United States Internal Revenue Code. 
 
   -- During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company disposed of three 
      buildings, including the inpatient rehabilitation facility in Texas which 
      was used to fund the inpatient rehabilitation acquisition in Florida, 
      received net proceeds in the aggregate of approximately $31.6 million, 
      and recognized a net gain of approximately $12.3 million on the sales. 
      Also, on February 12, 2026, the Company sold the property classified as 
      an asset held for sale at December 31, 2025 and received net proceeds of 
      approximately $5.2 million. 
 
   -- During the fourth quarter of 2025, the geriatric behavioral hospital 
      operator, a tenant in six of the Company's properties, paid rent and 
      interest totaling $0.2 million. In July 2025, the tenant signed a Letter 
      of Intent (LOI) for the sale of its business to a behavioral healthcare 
      provider. Among other terms and conditions of the sale, the buyer would 
      sign new leases for the six geriatric hospitals owned by the Company. The 
      buyer is finalizing legal and business due diligence, and while the 
      transaction is progressing, the Company cannot provide assurance 
      regarding the specific timing or the ultimate certainty of the closing. 
 
   -- The Company has five properties under definitive purchase agreements, to 
      be acquired after completion and occupancy, for an aggregate expected 
      purchase price of approximately $122.5 million. The Company's expected 
      returns on these investments are approximately 9.1% to 9.75%. The Company 
      anticipates closing on one of these properties in the first quarter of 
      2026 and the remaining properties throughout 2026 and 2027; however, the 
      Company cannot provide assurance as to the timing of when, or whether, 
      these transactions will actually close. 
 
   -- During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company did not issue any shares 
      under its ATM program. 
 
   -- On February 12, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 
      quarterly common stock dividend in the amount of $0.4775 per share. The 
      dividend is payable on March 4, 2026 to stockholders of record on 
      February 23, 2026.
