Investments consist of U.S. Treasury securities classified as trading securities and marketable equity securities. Marketable equity securities excludes Sky Harbour Group Corporation (“Sky Harbour”) Class A common stock as we account for our 15.3% stake (as measured at March 31, 2026) under the equity method. |
|
(2) |
Noncontrolling interests are primarily related to third party capital raised within our Build for Rent Fund as well as within our 24th Street commercial real estate funds. |
During the first quarter of 2026, we had net other expense of $1.0 million, which included a $1.7 non-cash loss from unconsolidated affiliates mainly related to our equity method position in Sky Harbour, a loss of $0.4 million primarily related to the changes in the fair value of the underlying assets within the 24th Street Funds, and interest expense of $0.6 million. These items were partially offset by a realized gain of $1.0 million from the sale of investments at GIG, a $0.4 million unrealized gain on the Sky Harbour warrants held by Boston Omaha, and interest and dividend income of $0.3 million.
Our investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock and warrants was valued at $77.8 million on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026. If our investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock was accounted for at fair value based on its quoted market price (currently valued using equity method accounting), then our total investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock and warrants would be valued at $117.8 million as of March 31, 2026.
Cash inflow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $3.9 million, compared to a cash inflow of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
During the first quarter of 2026, we repurchased 375,286 shares of our Class A common stock on the open market for a total cost of $4.8 million.
Our book value per share was $16.61 at March 31, 2026, compared to $16.63 at December 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, we had 30,085,520 shares of Class A common stock and 580,558 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.
As of May 13, 2026, we had 29,823,849 shares of Class A common stock and 580,558 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.
