UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST

REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2005 EARNINGS

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA- Universal Health Realty Income Trust (NYSE:UHT) announced today that for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, net income was $5.2 million or $.44 per diluted share as compared to $6.7 million or $.56 per diluted share for the same quarter in the prior year. Included in net income during the fourth quarter of 2005 is $750,000, or $.06 per diluted share, related to the recovery of replacement costs of real estate assets at Wellington Regional Medical Center (“Wellington”) that were damaged by Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne during 2004. Included in the fourth quarter of 2004 was a gain of $833,000 or $.07 per diluted share resulting from the sale of the Virtue Street Pavilion (“Virtue Street”) to the former lessee at the end of December, 2004. Contributing to the decrease in the net income during the fourth quarter of 2005, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, was a reduction in net income resulting from the sale of Virtue Street, increased operating expenses relating primarily to our medical office buildings (“MOBs”), an asset write-off charge recorded during the fourth quarter of 2005 in connection with building renovations at one of our MOBs and increased depreciation expense recorded in connection with the replacement assets at Wellington.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) were $7.1 million and FFO per diluted share were $.60 during the three months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $7.9 million and $.67 per diluted share for the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease in FFO during the fourth quarter of 2005, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, was primarily attributable to many of the factors mentioned above including the reduction in net income resulting from the sale of Virtue Street, increased operating expenses relating primarily to our MOBs and an asset write-off charge recorded during the fourth quarter of 2005 in connection with building renovations at one of our MOBs. The fourth quarter dividend of $.56 per share was paid on December 30, 2005.

During the fourth quarter of 2005, we sold our non-controlling ownership interest in a limited liability company (“LLC”) that owned a MOB located in California in exchange for a $3.1 million note receivable which is collateralized by the entire ownership interest of the LLC. This transaction resulted in a deferred gain of $1.9 million which we expect to recognize as income during 2006 when the cash proceeds to repay the note receivable are received by us. In


connection with FASB Interpretation No. 47 – “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“FIN 47”), we conducted a review of each of our properties to determine if we had obligations to perform asset retirement activity which may not be within our control, such as the remediation or removal of asbestos containing materials. Our review did not identify any significant issues pertaining to the provisions of FIN 47 and the impact, which did not have a material effect on our financial statements, is included in our financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2005.

For the full year ended December 31, 2005, net income was $25.4 million or $2.15 per diluted share as compared to $23.7 million or $2.00 per diluted share during the prior year. Included in net income during the full year ended December 31, 2005 is $4.7 million, or $.40 per diluted share, related to the recovery of replacement costs of real estate assets at Wellington. Included in net income during each of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were gains of $1.0 million, or $.09 per diluted share, resulting from the sale of real property by unconsolidated LLCs. Also included in net income during the year ended December 31, 2004 was a gain of $833,000 or $.07 per diluted share resulting from the sale of the Virtue Street Pavilion.

At December 31, 2005, our shareholders’ equity was $155.4 million and our liabilities for borrowed funds were $35.5 million. Included in our liabilities for borrowed funds was mortgage debt of consolidated entities, which is non-recourse to us, totaling $25.5 million.

As previously reported, Chalmette Medical Center (“Chalmette”), our two story, 138-bed acute care hospital located in Chalmette, Louisiana, suffered substantial damage from Hurricane Katrina during the third quarter of 2005 resulting in a write-down of the carrying-value of the depreciable assets to zero. Chalmette is leased by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and pursuant to the terms of the lease in such circumstances, UHS has the obligation to: (i) restore the property to substantially the same condition existing before the damage; (ii) offer to acquire the property in accordance with the terms of the lease, or; (iii) offer a substitution property equivalent in value to Chalmette. The existing lease on Chalmette remains in place and rental income will continue for a period of time while the lessee evaluates its options. If UHS decides not to rebuild the facility, we will then decide whether to accept UHS’s offer to purchase the facility or substitute other property or to accept the insurance proceeds and terminate the existing lease on the facility. Our Consolidated Statement of Income for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2005 includes a property write-down charge of $6.3 million. This property charge is offset by an equal amount recoverable from UHS. We believe that the fair market value of the facility exceeds the book value and the excess will also be recoverable from UHS either in the form of cash or the value of the substitute properties.

Effective March 31, 2004, we adopted Financial Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. Consequently, beginning on April 1, 2004, we began consolidating the results of operations of three LLC investments on our Consolidated Statements of Income. Accordingly, our Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2005 include the revenues and expenses associated with these properties. The revenue and expenses associated


with the properties were also included in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine month period of April 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004. However, prior to April 1, 2004, the operations of these LLCs were recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Income using the equity method of accounting. During the three month period ended March 31, 2004, these properties generated approximately $1.6 million of revenue, $300,000 of depreciation and amortization expense, $500,000 of other operating expenses and $400,000 of interest expense. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these LLCs.

Universal Health Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust, invests in healthcare and human service related facilities including acute care hospitals, behavioral healthcare facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, sub-acute care facilities, surgery centers, childcare centers and medical office buildings. We have forty-three real estate investments in fifteen states.

Funds from operations, is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. Although FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, we believe that information regarding FFO is helpful to shareholders and potential investors. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) as a measure of our liquidity; (iv) nor is FFO an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. A reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO is shown below.

The matters discussed in this report, as well as the news releases issued from time to time by us, include certain statements containing the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “expects” and words of similar import, which constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements which reflect management’s view only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
