American Realty Investors, Inc. reports Earnings for Q3 2023

DALLAS (November 9, 2023) -- American Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE:ARL) is reporting its results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we reported net income attributable to common shares of $3.0 million or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common shares of $302.3 million or $18.72 per diluted share for the same period in 2022.

Financial Highlights

•Total occupancy was 79% at September 30, 2023, which includes 96% at our multifamily properties and 49% at our commercial properties.

•On August 28, 2023, we paid off the $1.2 million loan on Athens.

•On November 6, 2023, we obtained a $25.4 million construction loan to build a 216 unit multifamily property in McKinney, Texas.

Financial Results

Rental revenues increased $4.3 million from $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in rental revenue is primarily due to $5.0 million increase at our multifamily properties offset in part by a decrease of $0.8 million from the commercial properties. The increase in revenue from the multifamily properties is primarily due to the acquisition of the VAA Holdback Portfolio in 2022.

Net operating loss decreased $1.1 million from $3.2 million for three months ended September 30, 2022 to $2.1 millionfor the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net operating loss is primarily due to a decrease in legal costs.

Net income attributable to common shares decreased $299.3 million from $302.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net income is primarily attributed to our share of the gain from the sale of the VAA Sale Portfolio, net of income tax effect in 2022.
