American Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE:ARL), a Dallas-based real
estate investment company, today reported results of operations for
the quarter ended June 30, 2019. For the three months ended June
30, 2019, we reported a net loss applicable to common shares of
$2.8 million or ($0.17) per diluted loss per share compared to a
net income applicable to common shares of $5.6 million or ($0.35)
per diluted loss per share for the same period ended 2018.
We would like to take a brief moment to share with you our
recent successes for TCI and affiliated Companies and thank you for
your steadfast dedication to the company.
2018 and 2019 have been met with unprecedented expansion and
repositioning for Pillar, TCI, SPC, and affiliated Companies. We
ended 2018 with our largest and most strategic transactions, the
newly created subsidiary Victory Abode Apartments, LLC (“VAA”)
Joint Venture and Bond Series B raised on the Tel Aviv Stock
Exchange. In 2019, the company recently raised an additional $78
million bond series C on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. This expanded
offering creates additional financial strength to our already
thriving organization. With these existing and newly engaged
projects and our continuously burgeoning multifamily asset base, we
are committed to the continued growth and education of our
staff.
The JV’s primary focus is to create a business platform that
will allow dramatic expansion in the multifamily arena. The intent
is to increase the overall size of the portfolio over the next
several years through strategic buildout of its robust development
pipeline alongside opportunistic acquisitions.
All of these initiatives further demonstrate our ability to
increase shareholder value, aligning with the strategic direction
we announced three years ago. Our company has been dramatically
transformed to a highly viable operating company with solid
development capabilities in the multifamily arena. Our main goal
has always been to act in the best interest of the company and
protect asset value for its investors. We continue to invest in new
development projects and grow the company’s asset base.
Revenues
Rental and other property revenues were $11.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $31.6 million for the
same period in 2018. The $19.8 million decrease is primarily due to
a decrease in the amount of multifamily residential apartment
buildings currently in our portfolio of nine as compared to
fifty-three multifamily residential apartment buildings for the
same period a year ago as a result of the deconsolidation of
forty-nine residential apartment properties that were sold into the
VAA Joint Venture during the fourth quarter of 2018. As the assets
are now treated as unconsolidated investments, our share of rental
revenues is part of income from unconsolidated investments in the
current period and are no longer treated as rental income.
Expense
Property operating expenses decreased by $8.2 million to $7.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to
$15.5 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in property
operating expenses is primarily due to the deconsolidation of
forty-nine residential apartment properties that were sold into the
VAA Joint Venture during the fourth quarter of 2018 which resulted
in a decrease in salary and related payroll expenses of $1.8
million, real estate taxes of $2.4 million, management fees paid to
third parties of $0.7 million, and other general property operating
and maintenance expenses of $3.3 million.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $3.1 million to $3.4
million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to
$6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This
decrease is primarily due to the deconsolidation of the residential
apartments in connection with our previous sale and contribution of
our interests to the VAA Joint Venture.
General and administrative expense was $4.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2019 and $2.9 million for the same
period in 2018. The increase of $1.2 million in general and
administrative expenses is due primarily to increases in fees paid
to our Advisors of $0.9 million, franchise taxes of $0.1 million,
and professional fees of $0.2 million.
Other income (expense)
Interest income was $6.5 million for the three months ended June
30, 2019, compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2018. The
increase of $1.6 million was due primarily to an increase of $1.5
million in interest on the receivables owed by our Advisors.
Other income was $3.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 2019, compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2018. The
decrease of $4.1 was due primarily to cash proceeds of $3.1 million
received during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, from the
collection of tax increment incentives related to infrastructure
development work at Mercer Crossing, located in Farmers Branch,
Texas, compared to insurance proceeds received during the second
quarter of 2018 of approximately $6.6 million as a result of
damages caused by a hurricane to one of our properties that was
subsequently sold during the same quarter.
Mortgage and loan interest expense was $9.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $15.9 million for
the same period in 2018. The decrease of $6.5 million is due to the
deconsolidation of residential apartment properties into the VAA
Joint Venture, which were encumbered by mortgage debt.
Foreign currency transaction was a loss of $2.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to a gain of $5.9
million for the same period in 2018. The foreign currency loss is
due primarily to a decrease in the exchange rate of our Israel New
Shekels (NIS) denominated corporate bonds registered on the
Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. The exchange rate of the NIS to USD went
from 3.63 at the beginning of the second quarter to an exchange
rate of 3.58 at June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, we have
outstanding bonds of $159.4 million (or NIS 570 million) and
accrued interest payable of approximately $2.8 million (or NIS 10.1
million).
Loss from unconsolidated investments was a net of $0.06 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to earnings of
$0.28 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The loss
from unconsolidated investments during the second quarter just
ended was driven primarily from our share in the losses reported by
our VAA Joint Venture of $0.24 million offset by earnings from
other unconsolidated investees of $0.17 million.
Loss from the sale of income-producing property increased for
the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the prior
period. In the current period, we sold a multifamily residential
property, located in Mary Ester, Florida for a sales price of $3.1
million and recorded a loss of $0.08 million. There were no
apartment sales for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Gain on land sales increased for the three months ended June 30,
2019 as compared to the prior period. In the current period, we
sold 41.6 acres of land for an aggregate sales price of $7.6
million and recorded a gain of $2.5 million. There were no land
sales for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
