FRP Holdings Inc (FRPH, Financial) released its 8-K filing on August 7, 2024, detailing the company's financial performance for the second quarter and the first six months ended June 30, 2024. FRP Holdings Inc is a holding company engaged in various real estate businesses, including leasing and management of commercial properties, mining royalty lands, real property development, and multifamily residential buildings.
Second Quarter Highlights
FRP Holdings Inc reported a 242% increase in net income for the second quarter, reaching $2.0 million compared to $598,000 in the same period last year. Pro rata Net Operating Income (NOI) also saw a significant rise of 21%, amounting to $9.2 million from $7.6 million. The Multifamily segment's pro rata NOI surged by 84%, driven by the transfer of Bryant St. and .408 Jackson from the Development segment. Additionally, the Industrial and Commercial segment's NOI increased by 41%.
Financial Achievements and Challenges
Despite a relatively flat operating profit, the substantial increase in net income is attributed to improved performance during the lease-up phase of The Verge and increased net investment income from the sale of lots at Aberdeen Overlook. The company's Lending Ventures, although not a core business strategy, have effectively generated cash at better returns than treasuries.
FRP Holdings Inc's consistent growth in pro rata NOI, with a 21.6% CAGR over the past 36 months, underscores the company's robust financial health. The Industrial and Commercial segment's NOI grew by 41% in Q2 2024, benefiting from the end of rent abatement periods at Hollander Business Park. The Multifamily segment's NOI increased by 84%, primarily due to the stabilization of .408 Jackson and Bryant Street.
