Rhea-AI Filing Summary

American Realty Investors, Inc. reported a strong turnaround for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Net income attributable to common shares was $9.8 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.2 million, or $(0.01), a year earlier. Revenue rose to $13.0 million from $12.0 million, helped by higher commercial property income and other income, partly offset by lower multifamily revenue after a property sale.

Overall stabilized occupancy was 81% at December 31, 2025, including 93% at multifamily properties and 59% at commercial properties. The company sold the 200‑unit Villas at Bon Secour property for $28.0 million, generating a $12.2 million gain and using proceeds to repay an $18.8 million loan and for general corporate purposes. Higher lease-up costs increased the quarterly net operating loss to $3.0 million, up from $1.8 million.

For the full year 2025, total revenue was $50.0 million versus $47.3 million in 2024, and net income attributable to common shares improved to $15.7 million, or $0.97 per share, from a net loss of $14.7 million, or $(0.91), reflecting sizable gains on real estate transactions.

Positive

  • Return to profitability: Net income attributable to common shares improved from a loss of $14.7 million in 2024 to a profit of $15.7 million in 2025, with EPS rising from $(0.91) to $0.97, driven largely by gains on real estate transactions.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

ARL’s 2025 profit rebound is driven largely by asset sales.

American Realty Investors moved from losses to meaningful profitability in Q4 and full-year 2025. Quarterly net income attributable to common shares reached $9.8 million, and full-year net income was $15.7 million, with earnings per share swinging from negative to positive.

A key driver was gains on real estate transactions, including the sale of Villas at Bon Secour for $28.0 million, which produced a $12.2 million gain and contributed to a total gain on real estate transactions of $14.4 million in Q4. Core operations still showed a net operating loss of $3.0 million, up from $1.8 million, as lease-up costs and property expenses increased.

Occupancy metrics are mixed: stabilized occupancy was 81%, with strong 93% multifamily occupancy but weaker 59% commercial occupancy. Future disclosures in periodic reports will clarify how recurring rental income, lease-up progress and any additional asset sales balance against higher expenses and advisory fees over upcoming periods.

American Realty Investors, Inc. reports Earnings for Q4 2025

DALLAS (March 12, 2026) -- American Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE:ARL) is reporting its results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we reported net income attributable to common shares of $9.8 million or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to common shares of $0.2 million or $0.01 per diluted share for the same period in 2024.

Financial Highlights

Total stabilized occupancy was 81% at December 31, 2025, which includes 93% at our multifamily properties and 59% at our commercial properties. Stabilized occupancy excludes Alera, Bandera Ridge and Merano, which are currently in lease-up.
On October 10, 2025, we sold Villas at Bon Secour, a 200 unit multifamily property in Gulf Shores, Alabama, for $28.0 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $12.2 million. We used the proceeds from the sale to pay off the $18.8 million loan on the property and for general corporate purposes.

Financial Results

Revenues increased $1.0 million from $12.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to $13.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The increase in revenue is primarily due to an increase of $0.6 million from our commercial properties and $0.7 million in other income offset in part by a decrease of $0.3 million from our multifamily properties. The increase in revenue from our commercial properties is primarily due to an increase in occupancy at Stanford Center and the decrease is to the sale of Villas at Bon Secour in 2025.

Net operating loss increased $1.2 million from $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Our increase in net operating loss was due to a $2.1 million increase in operating expenses offset in part by the $1.0 million increase in revenue. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to an increase in the cost of the lease-up properties during the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Net income attributable to common shares increased $9.9 million from net loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to net income of $9.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The increase in net income is primarily attributed to $15.0 million increase in gain on sale of assets offset in part by a $1.5 million increase in tax provision and the $1.2 million increase in net operating loss. The increase in gain on sale of assets is primarily attributed to the sale of Villas at Bon Secour in 2025.

FAQ

How did American Realty Investors, Inc. (ARL) perform in Q4 2025?

American Realty Investors posted net income attributable to common shares of $9.8 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in Q4 2025. This compares with a net loss of $0.2 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the same quarter in 2024.

What were ARL’s revenues for Q4 and full-year 2025?

Revenue for Q4 2025 was $13.0 million, up from $12.0 million in Q4 2024, mainly from commercial properties and other income. Full-year 2025 revenue totaled $50.0 million, compared with $47.3 million in 2024, reflecting modest growth in rental and other income.

How did property occupancy look for American Realty Investors at December 31, 2025?

Total stabilized occupancy was 81% at December 31, 2025. Multifamily properties were strong at 93% occupancy, while commercial properties were at 59%. Stabilized occupancy figures exclude properties still in lease-up, such as Alera, Bandera Ridge, and Merano.

What impact did the sale of Villas at Bon Secour have on ARL’s results?

On October 10, 2025, ARL sold Villas at Bon Secour, a 200‑unit multifamily property, for $28.0 million, generating a $12.2 million gain. Proceeds were used to repay an $18.8 million property loan and for general corporate purposes, boosting Q4 profitability.

Why did ARL’s net operating loss increase in Q4 2025 despite higher revenue?

Net operating loss widened from $1.8 million to $3.0 million in Q4 2025 because operating expenses rose by $2.1 million. Management attributes this mainly to higher costs related to lease-up properties, only partly offset by the $1.0 million increase in revenue.

How did American Realty Investors’ full-year 2025 earnings compare with 2024?

For 2025, net income attributable to common shares was $15.7 million, or $0.97 per share, versus a net loss of $14.7 million, or $(0.91) per share, in 2024. The improvement largely reflects higher gains on real estate transactions during 2025.
