Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Clipper Realty Inc. reported first quarter 2026 results showing mixed performance between its residential and commercial portfolios. Total revenue was $38.1 million, slightly below $39.4 million a year earlier, as strong residential leasing offset weaker office income after a New York City lease termination at 250 Livingston Street.

Residential rental income rose to $31.9 million from $29.2 million, while commercial rental income fell to $6.2 million from $10.2 million. Net loss narrowed to $11.1 million (or $4.2 million attributable to common stockholders) compared with a $35.1 million net loss in 2025, largely due to the absence of a prior-year impairment charge.

Non-GAAP metrics weakened: NOI declined to $20.0 million from $21.8 million, and AFFO dropped to $2.3 million ($0.05 per share) from $8.0 million ($0.19 per share), reflecting higher interest expense, litigation settlement costs of $3.6 million, and losses at the Prospect House and 250 Livingston Street properties. The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.095 per share, unchanged from the prior quarter.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • AFFO deterioration: Adjusted funds from operations fell to $2.3 million ($0.05 per share) from $8.0 million ($0.19 per share), a material decline in cash earnings capacity despite improved GAAP net loss.
  • Commercial revenue and office exposure: Commercial rental income dropped to $6.2 million from $10.2 million, reflecting the New York City lease termination at 250 Livingston Street and resulting in lower NOI.
  • Leverage and equity deficit: Notes payable of about $1.29 billion exceed total assets of $1.23 billion, and total equity is a $95.5 million deficit as of March 31, 2026, highlighting a highly leveraged balance sheet.
  • Litigation and higher expenses: Results include a $3.6 million litigation settlement and higher interest expense of $15.5 million versus $11.5 million, pressuring profitability and non-GAAP performance measures.

Insights

Residential strength is offset by weaker office and lower AFFO.

Clipper Realty delivered solid residential growth but overall softer cash earnings in Q1 2026. Total revenue slipped to $38.1M from $39.4M as commercial income fell sharply after the New York City lease termination at 250 Livingston Street.

Residential rental income increased to $31.9M on higher rents and strong occupancy, and net loss improved to $11.1M from $35.1M given last year’s $33.8M impairment. However, cash-flow metrics weakened: $2.3M AFFO and $16.99M Adjusted EBITDA were below 2025 levels, pressured by higher interest expense and a $3.6M litigation settlement.

Leverage remains high, with notes payable around $1.29B against total assets of $1.23B as of March 31, 2026, and equity in deficit. The maintained $0.095 dividend depends on future AFFO trends, which will hinge on stabilizing Prospect House, office leasing outcomes, and managing financing costs.

Adjusted funds from operations financial
"Adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) 1 of $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2026 vs $8.0 million"
Adjusted funds from operations is a financial measure that shows how much cash a real estate company generates from its property operations, excluding certain non-recurring items and accounting adjustments. It helps investors understand the company’s true cash flow ability to pay dividends or fund growth. This figure offers a clearer picture of ongoing financial performance by removing irregular or one-time factors that can distort regular income.
Net operating income financial
"Net operating income (“NOI”) 1 of $20.0 million for the first quarter of 2026 vs $21.8 million"
Net operating income is the profit a business makes from its core operations after subtracting the costs directly related to running those operations, but before accounting for taxes, interest, or other expenses. It shows how efficiently a company is generating income from its main activities. Investors use this figure to assess the company's operational performance and profitability.
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before allocation to non-controlling interests, plus real estate depreciation and amortization"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"all of which meet the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
impairment of long-lived assets financial
"Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | | | - | | | | 33,780"
An impairment of long-lived assets occurs when a company concludes that a physical or intangible asset—like a building, equipment, or a patent—is worth less than its recorded value on the books, so the company writes down that asset to its recoverable amount. For investors this matters because such write-downs reduce reported profits and company net worth, signaling potential problems with future cash flow or that management overpaid for assets; think of it like recognizing that a car you bought has lost more value than you expected.

Clipper Realty Inc. Announces First Quarter 2026 Results

 

NEW YORK, May 14, 2026 /Business Wire/ -- Clipper Realty Inc. (NYSE: CLPR) (the “Company”), a leading owner and operator of multifamily residential and commercial properties in the New York metropolitan area, today announced financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

 

Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026

 

 

For residential properties, results reflect the effects of the continuing strength of leasing at our residential properties, the third quarter of leasing at the newly completed Dean Street residential property (“Prospect House”), and an impairment charge related the 10 West 65th Street property in the first quarter of 2025; for office properties, results reflect the second full quarter of operations at the 250 Livingston Street commercial property following the New York City lease termination in August 2025; and for all properties, the cost of settling a lawsuit regarding payment practices with non-exempt employees.

 

Quarterly revenues of $38.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 vs $39.4 million for the first quarter of 2025, including quarterly residential revenues of $31.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 vs $29.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $2.7 million, or 9.3% and quarterly commercial revenues for the first quarter of 2026 of $6.2 million vs $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $4.0 million.

 

Quarterly income from operations of $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2026 vs a loss from operations of $23.6 million for the first quarter of 2025.

 

Net operating income (“NOI”)1 of $20.0 million for the first quarter of 2026 vs $21.8 million for the first quarter of 2025

 

Quarterly net loss of $11.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 vs a net loss of $35.1 million for the first quarter of 2025

 

Adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”)1 of $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2026 vs $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2025

 

Declared a dividend of $0.095 per share for the first quarter of 2026

 

David Bistricer, Co-Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

 

“For the quarter, the main highlights are continued strong residential leasing and significant progress made towards resolving lender issues at our 250 Livingston Street office property. The residential properties continued to have high occupancy and strong renter demand. New free market leases exceeded previous rents by 7% and renewals by over 5% and our major residential properties are leased at record levels. Furthermore, our new Prospect House property at 953 Dean Street in Brooklyn, NY was fully leased at March 31, 2026. And we continue to work with our lender at the 250 Livingston Street office property.”

 

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026

 

Our results reflect the strength of residential leasing and progress towards resolving issues at our 250 Livingston Street office property. As noted above, residential revenue increased 9.3% and residential rents are at record levels. The following describes significant items that influenced the financial results of the Company.

 

The Prospect House property continued lease up throughout the first quarter of 2026, averaging 65% occupancy and ending the quarter fully leased. As such, in the first quarter of 2026, the property generated revenue of $1.7 million, income from operations of $0.4 and net loss of $2.3 million. We expect these results to significantly improve as the property is occupied throughout the entire period.

 

10 West 65th Street property was sold in the second quarter of 2025. For the first quarter of 2025, the property generated revenue of $1.1 million, a loss from operations of $33.6 million and a net loss of $34.2 million including an impairment charge of $33.8 million pending sale in the second quarter.

 


1 NOI and AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures. For a definition of these financial measures and a reconciliation of such measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” at the end of this release.

 

 

 

 

At the 250 Livingston Street office property, the principal tenant, New York City, terminated its lease in August 2025, as previously announced, with the principal remaining revenue source coming from thirty-six residential units. As a result, in the first quarter of 2026, the property generated revenue of $0.4 million vs $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2025; loss from operations of $2.3 million vs income from operations of $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2025; and net loss of $5.0 million vs net income of $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. However, after the lease termination, we ceased making payments for interest and property tax escrows (including default interest of 5%), so notified the property’s lender and special loan servicer indicating we did not plan to continue supporting the property’s ongoing operating and debt service shortfall. We also began receiving reimbursement in May 2026 of out-of-pocket expenses after NYC lease termination, principally insurance, and we are in the process of negotiating a Consent and Cooperation Agreement with the lender, although there can be no assurance that such Consent and Cooperation Agreement will be consummated. The lender has made all scheduled real estate tax payments to-date. Further, on April 29, 2026, pursuant to the lender filing a complaint for default under the notes and the other loan documents, the court entered an order granting the lender's demand to appoint a temporary receiver responsible for the management, operations, and leasing of the property.

 

Lastly, results include a $3.6 million charge for a probable litigation settlement regarding certain payroll practices over several years at all our properties, including payments to the attorney representing the class of employees and estimated future payouts to participants in the class.

 

Revenues. For the first quarter of 2026, revenues were $38.1 million as compared to revenues of $39.4 million during the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $1.3 million. These results include increased residential revenue of $2.7 million due to increases in rental rates and high occupancy at all stabilized properties ($2.1 million), limited additional revenue from the Prospect House property now in its third quarter of leasing ($1.7 million), less the absence of revenue from the 10 West 65th Street property sold in May 2025 ($1.1 million). Commercial revenue decreased by $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 because of the New York City lease termination at the 250 Livingston Street property described above ($4.2 million).

 

Net Loss. For the first quarter of 2026, net loss was $11.1 million ($0.30 per share) compared to net loss of $35.1 million ($0.86 per share) for the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease in net loss of $24.0 million. These results reflect greater residential revenue at stabilized, continuing properties from the strong leasing discussed above, net of higher utilities expense ($1.3 million), the net loss from the Prospect House property in its initial leasing period ($2.3 million), the absence of net loss, including impairment charge, from the 10 West 65th Street property sold in May 2025 ($34.2 million), the increased net loss from the New York City lease termination at the 250 Livingston Street property as described above ($5.8 million), and the expense of the litigation settlement described above ($3.6 million).

 

AFFO. For the first quarter of 2026, AFFO was $2.3 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to $8.0 million, or $0.19 per share, for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $5.7 million. These results include an increase in AFFO from ongoing, stabilized residential and office properties ($1.2 million increase) because of the improved revenue noted above; negative AFFO from Prospect House in its initial leasing period ($1.2 million), and increased negative AFFO at the 250 Livingston Street property from the New York City lease termination as described above ($5.8 million).

 

Balance Sheet

 

On March 31, 2026, notes payable (excluding unamortized loan costs) were $1,285.8 million, compared to $1,286.2 million at December 31, 2025.

 

On March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $26.1 million compared to $30.8 million at December 31, 2025, and restricted cash was $28.6 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $27.3 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the January payment of six months of Tribeca House property taxes which reduced strong operating cash flow from our residential properties used to fund capital spending and the quarterly equity distribution.

 

Dividend

 

The Company today announced a first quarter dividend of $0.095 per share, the same amount as last quarter, to shareholders of record on May 26, 2026, payable June 4, 2026.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

(Unaudited)

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We disclose and discuss funds from operations (“FFO”), adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and net operating income (“NOI”), all of which meet the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

 

While management and the investment community in general believe that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors, neither FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, nor NOI should be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income from operations as an indication of our performance. We believe that to understand our performance further, FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and NOI should be compared with our reported net income (loss) or income from operations and considered in addition to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.

 

Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairment adjustments, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by NAREIT.

 

AFFO is defined by us as FFO excluding amortization of identifiable intangibles incurred in property acquisitions, straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, amortization costs incurred in originating debt, interest rate cap mark-to-market adjustments, amortization of non-cash equity compensation, acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, loss on modification/extinguishment of debt, gain on involuntary conversion, gain on termination of lease and non-recurring litigation-related expenses, less recurring capital spending.

 

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. FFO is intended to be a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation and valuation adjustments from net income. We consider FFO useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions and measuring operating performance. We further consider AFFO useful in determining funds available for payment of distributions. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent net income or cash flows from operations computed in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income (loss) as reliable measures of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as measures of liquidity.

 

Neither FFO nor AFFO measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including loan principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities computed in accordance with GAAP. Further, FFO and AFFO as disclosed by other REITs might not be comparable to our calculations of FFO and AFFO.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before allocation to non-controlling interests, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of identifiable intangibles, straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, amortization of non-cash equity compensation, interest expense (net), acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, loss on modification/extinguishment of debt and non-recurring litigation-related expenses, less gain on involuntary conversion and gain on termination of lease.

 

We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a meaningful financial measure of our core operating performance.

 

However, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. Further, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Adjusted EBITDA, and accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

Net Operating Income

We believe that NOI is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as income from operations plus real estate depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, amortization of identifiable intangibles and straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, less gain on termination of lease. We believe that this measure is widely recognized and provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). We use NOI to evaluate our performance because NOI allows us to evaluate the operating performance of our company by measuring the core operations of property performance and capturing trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. NOI is also a widely used metric in valuation of properties.

 

However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. Further, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
