REPORTS 2008 THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA- Universal Health Realty Income Trust (NYSE:UHT) announced today that for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, net income was $4.2 million, or $.35 per diluted share, as compared to $4.4 million, or $.37 per diluted share, during the same quarter in the prior year. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, net income was $12.5 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, as compared to $18.2 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, during the comparable nine-month period of the prior year.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) increased 5% to $7.6 million, or $.64 per diluted share, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared $7.2 million, or $.61 per diluted share, during the comparable quarter of the prior year. FFO were $22.4 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $22.0 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, during the comparable nine-month period of the prior year.

Favorably impacting net income during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 was a combined gain of $4.3 million, or $.36 per diluted share, consisting of: (i) a gain of $2.3 million, or $.19 per diluted share, realized on the sale of a medical office building (included in income from discontinued operations); (ii) a gain of $1.7 million, or $.15 per diluted share, related to the recovery of replacement real estate assets in connection with the previously disclosed Chalmette Medical Center asset exchange and substitution transaction, and; (iii) a gain of $252,000, or $.02 per diluted share, resulting from the sale of real property by an unconsolidated LLC. After deducting the gains identified above, net income, as adjusted, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 was $13.9 million, or $1.17 per diluted share.

During the third quarter of 2008, we invested $2.3 million for a 95% non-controlling ownership interest in a LLC that purchased the Vista Medical Terrace and The Sparks Medical Building located in Sparks, Nevada. Both of these medical office buildings (“MOBs”) are located on the campus of Northern Nevada Medical Center, an acute care hospital owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. Also during the third quarter of 2008, we


opened the newly constructed Palmdale Medical Plaza located in Palmdale, California, on the campus of an acute care hospital currently under construction by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. As of September 30, 2008, construction continues on two MOBs, which are owned by LLCs in which we hold non-controlling majority ownership interests, as follows: (i) Summerlin Hospital Medical Office Building III located in Las Vegas, Nevada, which is scheduled to be completed and opened during the fourth quarter of 2008, and; (ii) Deer Valley Medical Office Building III located in Phoenix, Arizona, which is scheduled to be completed and opened during the first quarter of 2009.

The third quarter dividend of $.585 per share was paid on September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008, our shareholders’ equity was $152.6 million and our liabilities for borrowed funds were $59.0 million, including mortgage debt of consolidated entities, which is non-recourse to us, totaling $23.3 million.

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-eight real estate investments in fourteen 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.
