American Realty Investors, Inc. reports Earnings for Q2 2021

DALLAS (August 11, 2021) -- American Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE:ARL) is reporting its results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we reported a net loss attributable to common shares of $27.3 million or $1.69 per diluted share, compared to $2.3 million or $0.14 per diluted share for the same period in 2020.

Financial Highlights

We collected approximately 96% of our rents for the three months ended June 30, 2021, comprised of approximately 96% from multifamily tenants and approximately 97% from office tenants.
Total occupancy was 91% at June 30, 2021, which includes 95% at our multifamily properties and 73% at our commercial properties.
During the quarter, we successfully appealed the previous Clapper decision, and as result, the court vacated the previous $59.0 million judgement against us, and determined that Clapper would take nothing.
On July 13, 2021, we received the arbitration verdict in connection with our dispute on the measurement of the Earn Out Obligation in connection with the formation of the VAA joint venture. As a result, we are required to pay approximately $39.6 million to Macquarie to satisfy the Earn Out Obligation, which represents a $29.6 million increase over the amount we had previously reserved.

Financial Results

Rental revenues decreased $1.4 million from $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $10.2 million for the three months ended 2020. The decrease in rental revenue is primarily due to a decrease in revenue from our commercial properties due to a decline in occupancy.

Net operating loss was $8.8 million for three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to operating income of $1.5 million for the same period in 2020. The $10.3 million decrease is primarily due to an increase in legal fees associated with the Clapper litigation and the VAA Earn Out Arbitration.

Net loss attributable to common shares increased $25.0 million from $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $27.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net loss is primarily attributed to to the $29.6 million increase in the earn out obligation.
