American Realty Investors, Inc. reports Earnings for Q1 2026
DALLAS (May 7, 2026) -- American Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE:ARL) is reporting its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we reported net loss attributable to common shares of $0.6 million or $0.03 per share, compared to a net income attributable to common shares of $3.0 million or $0.18 per share for the same period in 2025.
Financial Highlights
•Total occupancy was 81% at March 31, 2026, which includes 93% at our multifamily properties and 58% at our commercial properties.
•Occupancy for our Alera, Bandera Ridge and Merano (collectively, our “Development Properties”) at March 31, 2026 was 47%, 44% and 42%, respectively.
•During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we sold 21 lots from our holdings in Windmill Farms for $1.0 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $0.8 million.
Financial Results
Revenues increased $0.3 million from $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase in revenue is primarily due to an increase of $0.7 million from our commercial properties 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.
Net operating loss increased $1.4 million from $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Our increase in net operating loss was primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in operating expenses from the lease-up properties for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Net income attributable to common shares decreased $3.5 million from net income of $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to a net loss of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease in net income is primarily attributed to a decreases of $3.5 million from gain on sale or write down of assets, $1.3 million in interest income, net and $1.4 million in net operating loss offset in part by a $1.6 million decrease in tax provision. The decrease in gain on sale of real estate transactions is attributed to the condemnation of a parcel of land at Windmill Farms in 2025.
