Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2015 Results
DALLAS (May 13, 2015) -- Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE: TCI), a Dallas-based real estate investment company, today reported results of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company reported net loss applicable to common shares of $0.1 million or $0.02 per diluted earnings per share, as compared to net income applicable to common shares of $4.3 million or $0.49 per diluted earnings per share for the same period ended 2014.
The Company continues to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to fortify our portfolio and streamline our operational activity, while at the same time maintaining our commitment to creating value. We are pleased that we are seeing improvements in our operations from these endeavors and will continue to adapt to market challenges with an eye on both near term economic challenges and long-term prospects as the real estate market improves.
Management's efforts to enhance the value of our overall portfolio has resulted in the continuing improvement in the Company's results of operations. Our apartment portfolio continues to thrive in the current economic conditions with occupancies averaging over 95%. We continue to work aggressively to attract new tenants and strive for continuous improvement of our properties in order to maintain our existing tenants.
Our ability to take advantage of lower-interest rate mortgages available has reduced our monthly obligations and increased cash flow within our multifamily portfolio.
In our commercial portfolio, we are seeing the benefit of our efforts with new leases executed and increasing rents as first year concessions expire. We believe that we will continue to see growth in our commercial portfolio as the economic conditions improve and we capitalize on the influx of attractive prospects in the pipeline.
Rental and other property revenues were $22.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This represents an increase of $4.0 million, as compared to the prior period revenues of $18.3 million. This change, by segment, is an increase in the apartment portfolio of $1.6 million, and an increase in the commercial portfolio of $2.4 million. Within the apartment portfolio there was an increase of $1.3 million in the acquired property portfolio and an increase of $0.3 million in the same property portfolio. Within the commercial portfolio there was an increase of $1.5 million in the acquired property portfolio and increase of $0.9 million in the same store properties. We are continuing to market our properties aggressively to attract new tenants and strive for continuous improvement of our properties in order to maintain our existing tenants.
Property operating expenses were $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This represents an increase of $1.7 million, as compared to the prior period operating expenses of $9.2 million. This change, by segment, is an increase in the apartment portfolio of $0.6 million, and an increase in the commercial portfolio of $1.1 million. Within the apartment portfolio there was an increase of $0.5 million in the acquired properties portfolio and an increase of $0.1 million in the same property portfolio. Within the commercial portfolio there was an increase of $1.0 million in the acquired properties portfolio and an increase of $0.1 million in the same store properties.
Interest income was $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This represents an increase of $1.7 million, as compared to the prior year income of $2.1 million. The increase was primarily due to additional notes receivable acquired in prior periods.
Mortgage and loan interest expense was $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This represents an increase of $1.2 million, as compared to the prior period expense of $6.5 million. The majority of this increase is in the other portfolio and is due to the securing of a new loan subsequent to the prior period.
Litigation settlement expenses were $0.07 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. In 2014, $3.8 million of income from settlements reached is the result of guarantor settlements on various real estate properties in the prior period, therefore avoiding future litigation.
Gain on land sales increased for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the prior period. In the current period we sold 33.9 acres of land in two transactions for a sales price of $7.3 million and recorded a gain of $2.9 million. In the prior period, we sold 6.31 acres of land in one transaction for a sales price of $1.6 million and recorded a gain of $0.8 million.
