Clipper Realty Inc. Announces First Quarter 2023 Results

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 March 31, 2023.

Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

  • Record quarterly revenues of $33.7 million for the first quarter of 2023
  • Quarterly income from operations of $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2023
  • Net operating income (“NOI”)1 of $17.1 million for the first quarter of 2023
  • Quarterly net loss of $7.1 million for the first quarter of 2023
  • Quarterly adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”)1 of $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2023
  • Declared a dividend of $0.095 per share for the first quarter of 2023

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

“In the first quarter the Company has built on its momentum from the prior year. New leases continue to rent at higher levels than the previous ones. This has resulted in record revenue for the quarter. In the first quarter, we recorded record revenue of $33.7 million, NOI of $17.1 million, leased occupancy of 98.9% and our overall collection rate remains high at 98.7%. We have substantially completed our development of the 1010 Pacific Street building, branded “Pacific House”, including obtaining a temporary certificate of occupancy for a majority of the building at the end of the first quarter, well ahead of schedule and on budget. As a result, we were able to refinance the building early to a fixed rate mortgage that will substantially decrease our interest costs compared to the construction loan. As occupancy increases, we will have access to additional borrowings on the loan and we will see the rate we pay on the loan decrease by up to 25 additional basis points. This new loan increases the percentage of our non-development portfolio with fixed rates loans to over 90% and with none of the loans maturing until 2027. This puts us in a strong position as it relates to the current interest rate environment. We remain committed to executing our strategic initiatives, including the development of our Dean Street project, to create long-term value.”

Financial Results

For the first quarter of 2023, revenues increased by $1.6 million, or 5.0%, to $33.7 million and $2.7 million, or 8.8% excluding a net $1.1 million recovery of a bad debt reserve at a commercial tenant in the first quarter of 2022. This compares to revenue of $32.1 million or $31.0 million, excluding this one-time bad debt recovery where we reached an agreement with a commercial tenant whose arrears were included in bad debt under the new accounting standard first implemented on January 1, 2022. Residential revenue increased by $2.5 million, or 11.5%, driven by higher rental rates and occupancy at all our residential properties. Commercial income decreased $0.9 million as reported, or 8.1%, but increased by $0.2 million, or 2.5%, excluding the one-time recovery of a bad debt reserve. The adjusted increase was due to new commercial leases signed during 2022.

For the first quarter of 2023, net loss was $7.1 million, or $0.19 per share compared to net loss of $3.5 million, or $0.09 per share, for the first quarter of 2022, or $4.6 million, or $0.12 per share excluding the one-time bad debt recovery. The adjusted change was primarily attributable to the $3.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt discussed below (see Pacific House Refinance) partially offset by the increased rental revenue discussed above net of higher utilities costs, real estate taxes and general and administrative costs.

For the first quarter of 2023, AFFO was $4.5 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to $4.4 million, or $0.10 per share, for the first quarter of 2022, or $3.3 million excluding the one-time bad debt recovery mentioned above. The adjusted increase was primarily attributable to the increased revenue discussed above, net of higher utilities, real estate taxes, and general and administrative costs.

Balance Sheet

At March 31, 2023, notes payable (excluding unamortized loan costs) was $1,187.3 million, compared to $1,171.2 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the refinancing of the Pacific House loan described below.

Pacific House Refinance

On February 10, 2023, the Company refinanced its Pacific House construction loan with a mortgage loan with Valley National Bank providing for maximum borrowings of $80 million. The loan provided initial funding of $60 million and a further $20 million subject to the achievement of certain financial targets. The loan has a term of five years and an initial annual interest rate of 5.7% subject to reduction by up to 25 basis points upon achievement of certain financial targets. The loan is interest only for the first two years and principal and interest thereafter based on a 30-year amortization schedule. The refinancing with fixed rate debt took advantage of the prompt and on-budget completion of construction by which the Company avoided the higher cost of continued variable rate interest, including a related interest rate cap, in return for the recorded early termination fee.

Dividend

The Company today declared a first quarter dividend of $0.095 per share, the same amount as last quarter, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2023, payable May 24, 2023.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

(In thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We disclose and discuss funds from operations (“FFO”), adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and net operating income (“NOI”), all of which meet the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

While management and the investment community in general believe that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors, neither FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, nor NOI should be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income from operations as an indication of our performance. We believe that to understand our performance further, FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and NOI should be compared with our reported net income (loss) or income from operations and considered in addition to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.

Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairment adjustments, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by NAREIT.

AFFO is defined by us as FFO excluding amortization of identifiable intangibles incurred in property acquisitions, straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, amortization costs incurred in originating debt, interest rate cap mark-to-market adjustments, amortization of non-cash equity compensation, acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, loss on modification/extinguishment of debt, gain on involuntary conversion, gain on termination of lease and non-recurring litigation-related expenses, less recurring capital spending.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. FFO is intended to be a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation and valuation adjustments from net income. We consider FFO useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions and measuring operating performance. We further consider AFFO useful in determining funds available for payment of distributions. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent net income or cash flows from operations computed in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income (loss) as reliable measures of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as measures of liquidity.

Neither FFO nor AFFO measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including loan principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities computed in accordance with GAAP. Further, FFO and AFFO as disclosed by other REITs might not be comparable to our calculations of FFO and AFFO.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO and AFFO for the periods presented to net loss, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands):

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before allocation to non-controlling interests, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of identifiable intangibles, straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, amortization of non-cash equity compensation, interest expense (net), acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, loss on modification/extinguishment of debt and non-recurring litigation-related expenses, less gain on involuntary conversion and gain on termination of lease.

We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a meaningful financial measure of our core operating performance.

However, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. Further, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Adjusted EBITDA, and accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented to net loss, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands):

Net Operating Income

We believe that NOI is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as income from operations plus real estate depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, amortization of identifiable intangibles and straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, less gain on termination of lease. We believe that this measure is widely recognized and provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). We use NOI to evaluate our performance because NOI allows us to evaluate the operating performance of our company by measuring the core operations of property performance and capturing trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. NOI is also a widely used metric in valuation of properties.

However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. Further, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
