Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. Reports Earnings for Quarter Ended December 31, 2024

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE:TCI) is reporting its results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2024. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, we reported net income attributable to common shares of $0.1 million or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million or $0.30 per diluted share for the same period in 2023.

Financial Highlights

• Total occupancy was 81% at December 31, 2024, which includes 94% at our multifamily properties and 53% at our commercial properties.
• On October 18, 2024, we completed a 45,000 square foot lease at Stanford Center. This is the first new lease at the property following our major renovation of the property. The new lease provides a 14% increase in occupancy to the property and a 20% increase in rent per square foot over recent expired leases at the property. The lease is expected to commence in April 2025.
• On October 21, 2024, we obtained a $27.5 million construction loan to finance the development of a 234 unit multifamily property in Dallas, Texas ("Mountain Creek") that is expected to be completed in 2026 for a total cost of approximately $49.8 million. The construction loan on Mountain Creek bears interest at SOFR plus 3.45% and matures on October 20, 2026.
• On December 13, 2024, we sold 30 single family lots from our holdings in Windmill Farms for $1.4 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.1 million.

Financial Results

Rental revenues decreased $1.6 million from $12.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 to $11.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in rental revenue is primarily due to a decrease in occupancy at our commercial properties.

Net operating loss decreased $0.4 million from $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 to $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Our decrease in net operating loss was due to a $2.1 million decrease in operating expenses offset in part by a $1.7 million decrease in revenues. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily due to a decrease in depreciation for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Net income (loss) attributable to the Company increased $2.7 million from a net loss of $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 to net income $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net income is primarily attributed to a decrease in loss on sale or write down of assets and an increase in interest income offset in part by an increase in the provision for income tax.
