In This Article:

NEW YORK, October 31, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clipper Realty Inc. (NYSE: CLPR) (the "Company"), a leading owner and operator of multifamily residential and commercial properties in the New York metropolitan area, today announced financial and operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

  • Record quarterly revenues of $37.6 million for the third quarter of 2024

  • Quarterly income from operations of $10.8 million for the third quarter of 2024

  • Record net operating income ("NOI")1 of $21.8 million for the third quarter of 2024

  • Quarterly net loss of $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2024

  • Record adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO")1 of $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2024

  • Declared a dividend of $0.095 per share for the third quarter of 2024

David Bistricer, Co-Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

"The Company continued to grow its revenue, NOI and AFFO in the third quarter of 2024, producing record results for all these metrics on the basis of our very strong residential leasing. We continue to have high occupancy and good renter demand in our buildings. For all our properties, new leases exceeded previous rents by nearly 10% and renewals by nearly 6%. At Flatbush Gardens, as a result of the Article 11 agreement with New York City, we are continuing to increase enhanced rental recoveries under Section 610 as we continue to make the committed capital improvements and other improvements in the property. At our 250 Livingston Street property, where we previously disclosed New York City’s notification of its intention to vacate in late August 2025, we continue to actively seek solutions and pursue opportunities. At our nearby 141 Livingston Street property, we are in active discussions for a lease renewal. Our Dean Street new development continues to progress ahead of schedule, and we are confident of an on-time completion next year to capture the 2025 leasing season. Lastly, we have begun thinking about recycling properties in our portfolio to maximize performance and improve cash flow. As such, we are continuing marketing activities for some of our properties, including our 10W 65th Street property, which, while potentially resulting in some loss compared to book value, would allow us to achieve better overall returns going forward. We will announce any definitive arrangements promptly as they arise."

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

For the third quarter of 2024, revenues increased by $2.4 million, or 6.8%, to $37.6 million as compared to revenue of $35.2 million during the third quarter of 2023. Residential revenue increased by $2.3 million, or 9.2%, driven by higher rental rates at all our residential properties and higher occupancy partially offset increased bad debt expense at the Flatbush Gardens property. Commercial income increased by $0.1 million, or 0.9%, in the third quarter of 2024 due to higher escalation income at our office properties.
