Universal Health Realty Income Trust reported October 27 that third-quarter net income increased to $4.9 million, or 35 cents per diluted share, from $4 million, or 29 cents, a year earlier.

Funds from operations, a separate measure that excludes depreciation and amortization, remained 88 cents per diluted share. Total FFO rose by $53,000 to approximately $12.3 million, according to the trust’s results announcement.

The profit comparison reflected expenses in the earlier period. The trust said a $901,000 improvement resulted primarily from nonrecurring depreciation expense recorded in the third quarter of 2025. Lower interest expense also helped, while the absence of a prior-year settlement benefit offset part of those gains.

For the first nine months of 2026, net income was $15.9 million, compared with $13.3 million a year earlier. This year’s nine-month figure included a $724,000 land-sale gain recorded in the second quarter.

The real estate investment trust holds healthcare and human-service properties. Its announcement covered the period ended September 30.
