The earnings call reveals several negative indicators: a 72% decrease in net income, significant vacancies in industrial segments, and development delays. The Q&A section highlighted management's evasiveness about a potential new investment, adding uncertainty. While there are some positive aspects, like multifamily segment growth, the overall sentiment is negative due to the financial declines and lack of clear guidance, suggesting a likely stock price decrease of -2% to -8%.
Net Income Decreased 72% to $600,000 or $0.03 per share versus $2 million or $0.11 per share in the same period last year. The decrease was due primarily to due diligence-related legal expenses and lower interest income.
Pro Rata NOI Increased 5% year-over-year to $9.7 million, mostly driven by higher contributions from multifamily and mining royalty segments. Multifamily segment contributed an additional $57,000 of NOI, and the mining segment contributed an additional $637,000 of NOI.
Industrial and Commercial Segment NOI Decreased by $177,000 year-over-year due mainly to vacancy and uncollectible revenue as a result of a tenant eviction in Q1 and lease expirations during Q2.
Commercial and Industrial Segment Revenues and NOI Total revenues and NOI for the quarter totaled $1.4 million and $1 million, respectively, a decrease of 5% and 15% over the same period last year. The decrease was due to 64,000 square feet of tenant leases expiring in Q2, 57,000 square feet attributed to a tenant defaulting on its lease, and the recent completion of a 258,000 square foot warehouse building that was 100% vacant in the quarter.
Mining and Royalty Segment Revenues and NOI Total revenues and NOI for the quarter totaled $3.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively, an increase of 12% and 21% over the same period last year.
Multifamily Segment Revenues and NOI Total revenues and NOI for the quarter were $14.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively. FRP's share of revenues and NOI for the quarter totaled $8.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively. This is an increase over prior quarters due to The Verge being included in this segment as of July 1, 2024. The Verge contributed $2.8 million and $733,000 in revenue and NOI this quarter. Same-store comparison showed a revenue increase of 3.2% with NOI up 1% over the same period last year.
