In commenting on 2017's results, the Company's Chairman, Edward B. Cloues, II, said "The Company significantly improved its operating performance and cash flow metrics in 2017 following the three year restructuring and simplification of its business portfolio and balance sheet that was completed in 2016. This improvement was primarily the result of a stronger real estate business in 2017, but it also reflected the substantial benefits of the now completed restructuring activities as well as a continued focus on expense reductions. Cash from operations enabled the Company to satisfy outstanding notes payable of $12,939,000 during 2017. As a result, the Company enters fiscal year 2018 with no financing debt and is better positioned to consider and capitalize on future growth opportunities."

AMREP Corporation, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in two business segments:  its Real Estate business operated by AMREP Southwest Inc. and its subsidiaries is a major holder of real estate in the Rio Rancho, New Mexico area and its Fulfillment Services business operated by Palm Coast Data LLC performs fulfillment and contact center services for publications, membership organizations, government agencies and other direct marketers.
