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 December
31, 2024.
Highlights for the Three Months Ended December 31,
2024
- Record quarterly revenues of $38.0 million for the fourth
quarter of 2024
- Quarterly income from operations of $10.7 million for the
fourth quarter of 2024
- Record net operating income (“NOI”)1 of $22.5 million for the
fourth quarter of 2024
- Quarterly net loss of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of
2024
- Record adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”)1 of $8.1 million
for the fourth quarter of 2024
- Declared a dividend of $0.095 per share for the fourth quarter
of 2024
David Bistricer, Co-Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer,
commented,
“The Company continued to grow its revenue, NOI and AFFO in the
fourth quarter of 2024, producing record results for all these
metrics on the basis of our very strong residential leasing. We
continue to have high occupancy and good renter demand in our
buildings. For all our properties, new leases exceeded previous
rents by nearly 10% and renewals by nearly 6%. At Flatbush Gardens,
as a result of the Article 11 agreement with New York City, we are
continuing to increase enhanced rental recoveries under Section 610
as we continue to make the committed capital improvements and other
improvements in the property. At our 250 Livingston Street
property, where we previously disclosed New York City’s
notification of its intention to vacate in late August 2025, we
continue to actively seek solutions and pursue opportunities. At
our nearby 141 Livingston Street property, we are in active
discussions for a lease renewal. Our Dean Street new development
continues to progress ahead of schedule, and we are confident of an
on-time completion early this year to capture the 2025 leasing
season. Lastly, we continue to consider recycling properties in our
portfolio to maximize performance and improve cash flow. As such,
we are continuing marketing activities for some of our properties,
including our 10W 65th Street property, which, while potentially
resulting in some loss compared to book value, would allow us to
achieve better overall returns going forward. We will announce any
definitive arrangements promptly as they arise.”
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended December 31,
2024
For the fourth quarter of 2024, revenues increased by $3.2
million, or 9.1%, to $38.0 million as compared to revenue of $34.9
million during the fourth quarter of 2023. Residential revenue
increased by $2.9 million, or 11.6%, driven by higher rental rates
and occupancy at all our residential properties partially offset
increased bad debt expense at the Flatbush Gardens property.
Commercial income increased by $0.2 million, or 2.5%, in the fourth
quarter of 2024 due to higher escalation income at our 250
Livingston office property.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, net loss was $1.1 million, or
$0.05 per share compared to net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.09 per
share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. The lower net loss as
compared to last year was primarily due to increased rental revenue
discussed above, partially offset by higher property taxes at
properties other than Flatbush Gardens and, at Flatbush Gardens,
higher payroll costs from “prevailing wage” requirements under the
Article 11 transaction, an increase in repairs and maintenance
workers, and higher depreciation expense from capital spending.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, AFFO was $8.1 million, or $0.19
per share, compared to $6.3 million, or $0.15 per share, for the
fourth quarter of 2023. As discussed above, the increase was
primarily due to increased rental revenue partially offset by
higher property taxes and higher payroll costs.
1 NOI and AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures. For a definition
of these financial measures and a reconciliation of such measures
to the most comparable GAAP measures, see “Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Measures” at the end of this release.
Balance Sheet
At December 31, 2024, notes payable (excluding unamortized loan
costs) was $1,275.4 million, compared to $1,219.0 million at
December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to draws made on
Dean Street development construction loan.
Dividend
The Company today declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.095
per share, the same amount as last quarter, to shareholders of
record on March 19, 2025, payable April 3, 2025.

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):
