CLPR Clipper Realty Inc

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 June 30, 2023.

Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

• Record quarterly revenues of $34.5 million for the second quarter of 2023
• Quarterly income from operations of $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2023
• Record net operating income (“NOI”) of $19.2 million for the second quarter of 2023
• Quarterly net loss of $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2023
• Quarterly adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”)1 of $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2023
• Declared a dividend of $0.095 per share for the second quarter of 2023

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

“The second quarter of 2023 for the Company has produced record quarterly revenue and NOI and the highest AFFO in 3 years. This is the fourth straight quarter of record revenue and demonstrates the strength of the current rental market. New leases continue to rent at more than 14% over previous ones. This has resulted in record revenue for the quarter, even when we remove the revenue from our newly opened Pacific House building. In the second quarter, we recorded record revenue of $34.5 million, NOI of $19.2 million, same store leased occupancy of 99.2% and our overall collection rate remains high at 96.3%. We have also begun operations at the 1010 Pacific Street building, branded “Pacific House”, already over 77% leased. Last month we announced that Flatbush Gardens entered into a 40-year regulatory agreement with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (“HPD”) under Article 11 of the Private Housing Finance Law. This agreement will enable us to put Flatbush Gardens on an upward projection by providing us with the additional funds to invest in the property via full property tax exemptions and the opportunity to receive enhanced reimbursements for those tenants who receive governmental support. We are very excited for the future of Flatbush Gardens. We feel that our strong leasing and occupancy performance, the Article 11 transaction, our loan portfolio being over 90% fixed with no maturities until 2027 puts us in a strong position to continue executing our strategic initiatives and create long-term value.”

Financial Results

For the second quarter of 2023, revenues increased by $2.7 million, or 8.3%, to $33.7 million and $1.9 million, or 5.8% excluding revenue from Pacific House in the second quarter of 2023. This compares to revenue of $31.9 million during the second quarter of 2022. Residential revenue increased by $2.4 million, or 10.9%, and $1.6 million, or 7.3% excluding revenue from Pacific House in the second quarter of 2023 driven by higher rental rates at all our residential properties. Commercial income increased $0.2 million, or 2.3%, in the second quarter of 2023 due to new commercial leases signed during 2022.

For the second quarter of 2023, net loss was $3.3 million, or $0.10 per share or $2.6 million, or $0.05 per share excluding the net loss attributable to Pacific House operations, compared to net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.08 per share, for the second quarter of 2022. The adjusted change was primarily attributable to increased rental revenue discussed above and lower property operating costs, net of higher insurance, real estate taxes, general and administrative costs, and interest expense.

For the second quarter of 2023, AFFO was $5.5 million, or $0.13 per share, or $5.8 million or $0.14 per share excluding the impact of Pacific House, compared to $5.1 million, or $0.12 per share, for the second quarter of 2022. The adjusted increase was primarily attributable to the rental revenue discussed above and lower property operating costs, net of higher insurance, real estate taxes, general and administrative costs.

Balance Sheet

At June 30, 2023, notes payable (excluding unamortized loan costs) was $1,186.8 million, compared to $1,171.2 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the refinancing of the Pacific House loan in the first quarter of 2023.

Dividend

The Company today declared a second quarter dividend of $0.095 per share, the same amount as last quarter, to shareholders of record on August 15, 2023, payable on August 23, 2023.

Clipper Realty Inc. 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.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of NOI for the periods presented to income from operations, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands):
