EPR Properties (EPR) to Consider New Investment Categories

October 31, 2014

David Brain, CEO of EPR Properties (EPR), says the company will likely begin looking at new investment categories over the next couple of years. Currently, EPR Properties focuses on investing in entertainment, recreation and education.

“We continue to tell the market we’re interested to grow not only the three, what we often call, investment-focus areas but possibly add an additional one,” Brain says. “We’d do that by virtue of our five-star investment criteria we often reference in our presentation materials.”

Brain says that he and his team plan to continue the momentum of recent growth. He says the company has a solid balance sheet and will remain “shareholder-centric” while pursuing new opportunities for growth.

He says EPR Properties is “not growing for growth’s sake but growing for shareholder results, continue to build the leading position of the company in these three areas of investment and continue to look for opportunities for new areas of investment. That’s really the job of management and the thesis for the next several years. We’ve got it going very well; we’re going to keep it going and add to the recipe as opportunities present themselves.”
