The earnings call presented a mixed outlook. Despite a positive increase in net income and interest income, there are notable challenges such as supply pressures in residential markets, sluggish self-storage demand, and life science leasing uncertainties. The Q&A revealed some resilience in specific projects but highlighted broader sector risks. The dividend remains stable, but earnings and cash available for distribution have decreased. Given these mixed signals, the stock price is likely to remain stable, resulting in a neutral sentiment.
Net Income $0.54 per diluted share in Q2 2025, compared to $0.40 per diluted share in Q2 2024, representing an increase due to higher interest income.
Interest Income $22.8 million in Q2 2025, up from $18.2 million in Q2 2024, an increase of $4.6 million driven by increased income from investments.
Interest Expense Decreased by $700,000 in Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024, attributed to deleveraging in Q2 2024.
Earnings Available for Distribution $0.43 per diluted common share in Q2 2025, down from $0.68 per diluted common share in Q2 2024, despite the increase in net income.
Cash Available for Distribution $0.46 per diluted common share in Q2 2025, down from $0.64 per diluted common share in Q2 2024.
Dividend $0.50 per share in Q2 2025, covered 0.92x by cash available for distribution.
Book Value Per Share Increased by 1% from Q1 2025 to $17.40 per diluted common share, primarily due to unrealized gain on preferred stock investments.
Portfolio Investments 86 investments with a total outstanding balance of $1.1 billion, allocated across various sectors including multifamily (49.5%), life science (32.7%), and others.
Debt Outstanding $815.6 million with a weighted average cost of 5.9%, collateralized by $865.4 million of assets.
Life Science Preferred Investments: Funded $39.5 million on life science preferred investments.
CMBS IO Purchase: Purchased $15.3 million CMBS IO with a bond equivalent yield of 7.24%.
Geographic Allocation: Heavy presence in Sunbelt markets with significant exposure in Massachusetts (27%) and California (6%), primarily in life science.
Residential Market: Supply pressures easing in Sunbelt markets; national delivery outlook contracts to 77,000 units per quarter post-Q3 2025.
Net Income Growth: Net income increased to $0.54 per diluted share in Q2 2025 from $0.40 in Q2 2024, driven by a $4.6 million increase in interest income.
Debt Management: Debt-to-equity ratio at 1.14x with $815.6 million of debt outstanding and a weighted average cost of 5.9%.
Alewife Project Lease: Closing in on a 245,000 square foot lease with an AI biologics company on a 15-year deal, expected to produce a debt yield of over 8%.
Pipeline Growth: Active pipeline of originations stands at over $235 million, largely in the residential sector, expected to increase CAD run rate in high single digits.
Residential Supply Pressures: Supply pressures in Sunbelt markets continue to present challenges, with concentrated issues despite some easing. Elevated competition and lease-ups persist due to significant deliveries in the trailing 12 months.
Storage Sector Challenges: The sluggish housing market and elevated mortgage rates are softening self-storage demand. Home sales are at a multiyear low, impacting the 2025 peak leasing season. Operators in secondary and tertiary markets are underperforming.
Life Science Leasing Uncertainty: Lab leasing faces challenges due to tariff and NIH funding uncertainties under the new administration, creating headwinds for the life science sector.
Interest Rate Environment: Elevated interest rates are impacting new developments, particularly in the storage sector, and contributing to higher costs for financing and construction.
Economic and Market Uncertainty: The macroeconomic backdrop remains challenging, with uncertainties in housing activity and broader market dynamics potentially impacting growth and operations.
Earnings and Cash Available for Distribution (Q3 2025): Guidance for earnings available for distribution is $0.42 per diluted common share at the midpoint, with a range of $0.37 to $0.47. Cash available for distribution is guided at $0.50 per diluted common share at the midpoint, with a range of $0.45 to $0.55.
Multifamily Sector Outlook: After significant deliveries in Q3 2025, the national delivery outlook is expected to contract to a GFC-level output of 77,000 units per quarter. This supports expectations of accelerating fundamentals in the multifamily sector for 2026-2028. Rental rates are expected to improve as the supply picture continues to stabilize.
Storage Sector Outlook: REITs are guiding for flat to very low single-digit revenue growth and flat to negative 1.5% NOI growth in 2025. Rising occupancies and improving rates are expected to support results, despite a sluggish housing market and elevated mortgage rates. Supply discipline is expected to restore pricing power as housing activity rebounds.
Life Science Sector Outlook: Lab leasing remains challenging due to tariff and NIH funding uncertainties. However, a significant lease deal (245,000 square feet with an AI biologics company) is expected to be announced in Q3 2025, producing a debt yield of over 8% for the Alewife project.
Pipeline and Growth Expectations: The active pipeline of originations stands at over $235 million, primarily in the residential sector. This is expected to increase the CAD run rate in the high single digits. The company remains cautiously optimistic about market dynamics for the second half of 2025.
Dividend for Q2 2025: $0.50 per share
Dividend for Q3 2025: $0.50 per share declared
