Outlook for 2007. The company is introducing its 2007 guidance and expects to report net income available to common stockholders in a range of $1.17 to $1.25 per diluted share, FFO in a range of $3.06 to $3.14 per diluted share and FAD in a range of $2.80 to $2.88 per diluted share. In preparing its guidance, the company made the following assumptions:

• Gross investments of $1.0 to $1.2 billion, including acquisitions of $700 to $800 million at average initial yields of 7.75-8.25%.

• Gross investments include funded new development of $300 to $400 million with the investment balance capitalized at the company’s average cost of debt (approximately 6.5%) and recorded as a reduction in interest expense until completion.

• Dispositions of $100 to $200 million at average yields of 9.5-10%.

• Net investments of $800 million to $1.1 billion.

• General and administrative expenses of $33 to $35 million for the full year 2007.

The company’s guidance excludes any impairments, unanticipated additions to the loan loss reserve or other additional one-time items, including any additional cash payments outside the normal monthly rental payments. Please see Exhibit 15 for a reconciliation of the outlook for net income available to common stockholders to FFO and FAD.

Conference Call Information. The company has scheduled a conference call on February 27, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time to discuss its fourth quarter and year end results, industry trends, portfolio performance and outlook for 2007. Telephone access will be available by dialing 800-562-8369 or 913-312-1299 (international). For those unable to listen to the call live, a taped rebroadcast will be available beginning two hours after completion of the call through March 13, 2007. To access the rebroadcast, dial 888-203-1112 or 719-457-0820 (international). The conference ID number is 1745849. To participate in the webcast, log on to www.hcreit.com or www.earnings.com 15 minutes before the call to download the necessary software. Replays will be available for 90 days through the same Web sites. This earnings release is posted on the company’s Web site under the heading News & Events.

Supplemental Reporting Measures. The company believes that net income available to common stockholders (NICS), as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, the company considers funds from operations (FFO) and funds available for distribution (FAD) to be useful supplemental measures of its operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time as evidenced by the provision for depreciation. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. In response, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation from net income. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, means net income, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FAD represents FFO excluding the net straight-line rental adjustments, rental income related to above/below market leases and amortization of deferred loan expenses and less cash used to fund capital expenditures, tenant improvements and lease commissions.

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The company believes that EBITDA, along with net income and cash flow provided from operating activities, is an important supplemental measure because it provides additional information to assess and evaluate the performance of its operations. Additionally, restrictive covenants in the company’s long-term debt arrangements contain

Page 3 of 16

4Q06 Earnings Release February 26, 2007

financial ratios based on EBITDA. The company primarily utilizes EBITDA to measure its interest coverage ratio, which represents EBITDA divided by total interest, and its fixed charge coverage ratio, which represents EBITDA divided by fixed charges. Fixed charges include total interest, secured debt principal amortization and preferred stock dividends.

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 145 that requires gains and losses on extinguishments of debt to be classified as income or loss from continuing operations rather than as extraordinary items as previously required under Statement No. 4. The company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2003 and has properly reflected the prior year loss on extinguishment of debt which may not be added back to net income in the calculation of FFO, FAD or EBITDA. Although the company has adopted this treatment, it has also disclosed FFO, FAD and EBITDA adjusted for the loss on extinguishment of debt for enhanced clarity.

FFO, FAD and EBITDA are financial measures that are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. The company’s management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to historical operating results and in making operating decisions. Additionally, FFO and FAD are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management. FFO, FAD and EBITDA do not represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity. Finally, FFO, FAD and EBITDA, as defined by the company, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts or other companies. Please see Exhibits 12, 13 and 14 for reconciliations of EBITDA, FAD and FFO.

Net operating income (NOI) is used to evaluate the operating performance of certain real estate properties such as medical office buildings. We define NOI as total revenues, including tenant reimbursements and discontinued operations, less property operating expenses, which exclude depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, impairments and interest expense. We believe NOI provides investors relevant and useful information because it measures the operating performance of our medical office buildings at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our medical office buildings.
