American Realty Investors Reports $3.96 Million Net Income in Q1 2025

American Realty Investors, Inc. reported a net income of $3.96 million for the first quarter of 2025, a significant increase from $2.30 million in the same period of 2024. This translates to earnings per share of $0.18, up from $0.11 year-over-year. Total revenues for the quarter reached $12.01 million, compared to $11.90 million in the prior year, driven primarily by an increase in rental revenues, which rose to $11.43 million from $11.28 million. The company also recorded a gain of $3.89 million from real estate transactions, contributing to the overall improvement in profitability.

In terms of operational performance, American Realty's multifamily segment generated revenues of $8.76 million, an increase from $8.51 million in the previous year, while the commercial segment saw a decline in revenues to $3.24 million from $3.39 million. Operating expenses decreased to $12.82 million from $13.42 million, reflecting cost management efforts. The company reported a net operating loss of $813,000, an improvement from a loss of $1.52 million in the prior year, indicating enhanced operational efficiency.

The company’s total assets increased to $1.04 billion as of March 31, 2025, up from $1.03 billion at the end of 2024. This growth was primarily attributed to an increase in real estate holdings, which rose to $582.23 million from $557.39 million. However, cash and cash equivalents decreased to $13.80 million from $19.92 million, reflecting increased investment in development projects and a decrease in short-term investments. The company’s liabilities also rose, with total liabilities increasing to $239.45 million from $230.53 million, largely due to higher mortgages and notes payable.

Strategically, American Realty is focused on expanding its portfolio through development projects, particularly in the Windmill Farms area, which is being developed into multifamily and retail properties. The company incurred $26.3 million in development costs during the quarter, funded in part by $17.1 million in construction loans. The company anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents, along with cash generated from operations and notes receivable, will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs in the near term. Looking ahead, American Realty plans to continue its strategy of acquiring and developing income-producing properties while managing its existing portfolio effectively.
