FRP HOLDINGS, INC. (NASDAQ: FRPH) ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2025
FRP Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ-FRPH) Jacksonville, Florida; May 12, 2025 –
FRP Holdings is a real estate asset developer and manager across three differing asset classes including Multifamily, Industrial and Commercial, and Mining and Royalty Lands.
Net Income Results - Net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $1,710,000 or $.09 per share versus $1,301,000 or $.07 per share in the same period last year.
Executive Summary and Analysis – In the first quarter, the Company saw a 31% improvement in Net Income as well as a 10% increase in pro rata NOI compared to the same period last year. These improvements were driven primarily by 1) increases in mining royalty revenue and unrealized revenue; 2) improved occupancy at the Verge which drove the $988,000 improvement in equity in loss of joint venture; as well as 3) a $226,000 increase in lending venture interest income compared to the same period last year. Last quarter we cautioned our investors to temper their expectations for growth this year, especially compared to the rapid NOI growth of the previous three years. Despite the positive results from this quarter, the rationale for those tempered expectations is evident in our first quarter results. Industrial NOI was down compared to last year because of a tenant default and eviction which will take time to replace. Early in the second quarter we finished construction on our Chelsea warehouse and transferred it to the Industrial and Commercial segment from Development. This 258,000 square-foot industrial asset in Harford County, MD will have operating expenses that will further negatively impact NOI until we get it leased and occupied. The multifamily segment growth we saw this quarter will be the last bump we get from occupancy increases in the run up to stabilization. Going forward, all our multifamily assets will have been stabilized for a full year, and we expect results to be more in line with the same store growth we had this quarter, i.e. flat to slightly negative, as we compete with a glut of
1
new projects in Washington, DC. These are temporary headwinds that may be too heavy a lift for improvements in Mining Royalties and lending venture income to offset.
Our focus in 2025 is setting the stage for our next phase of NOI growth. Part of that means leasing efforts at Cranberry and Chelsea, but primarily it means putting money to work in new projects. We have closed on the construction loans for both of our industrial JVs with Altman Logistics (f/k/a BBX) and anticipate breaking ground in the second quarter. We will continue entitlement work on our industrial pipeline in Maryland in order to be shovel ready in 2026, and we anticipate bolstering that pipeline with an additional land purchase and/or JV this year. We remain on track to deliver three new industrial assets every two years with the goal of doubling the size of our industrial segment over the next five years. As mentioned last quarter, we anticipate beginning construction this year on two multifamily projects, the first in Greenville and the second outside Ft. Myers, FL. These two projects will add 810 units and an estimated $6 million in NOI upon stabilization.
First Quarter Highlights
•31% increase in Net Income ($1.7 million vs $1.3 million)
•10% increase in pro rata NOI ($9.4 million vs $8.5 million)
•3% increase in the Multifamily segment’s pro rata NOI primarily due to improved occupancy of The Verge. This comparison includes the results for this project from the same period last year (when this project was still in our Development segment)
•2% decrease in Industrial and Commercial segment NOI due to and eviction and write-off of one tenant
•19% increase in the Mining Royalty Lands segment's NOI

Net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $1,710,000 or $.09 per share versus $1,301,000 or $.07 per share in the same period last year. Pro rata NOI for the first quarter of 2025 was $9,364,000 versus $8,534,000 in the same period last year. The first quarter of 2025 was impacted by the following items:
•Operating profit decreased 19% from higher General and administrative expense and the default of an Industrial tenant. This decrease was partially offset by improved results in the Multifamily and Mining segments, as well as a reduction in Development professional fees. General and administrative expense increased primarily due to overlapping compensation as a result of the implementation of our executive succession and transition plan that commenced in May, 2024.
•Net investment income decreased $222,000 due to reduced earnings on cash equivalents ($447,000) partially offset by higher income from our lending ventures ($226,000) due to more residential lot sales.
•Interest expense decreased $216,000 compared to the same quarter last year as we capitalized $211,000 more interest this quarter. More interest was capitalized due to increased in-house and joint venture projects under development this quarter compared to last year.
3
•Equity in loss of Joint Ventures improved $988,000 due to improved results of our unconsolidated joint ventures. Results improved at The Verge ($409,000) due to improved occupancy and at Bryant Street ($444,000) and BC Realty ($107,000) both due to higher revenues and lower variable rate interest expense.

Most of this increase was from the improved occupancy of The Verge. This project contributed $753,000 of pro rata NOI to this segment compared to $606,000 in the Development segment in the same quarter last year, an increase of $147,000. Same store NOI decreased $6,000.

Total revenues for our two consolidated joint ventures were $5,424,000, an increase of $10,000 versus $5,414,000 in the same period last year. Total operating profit before G&A for the consolidated joint ventures was $1,209,000, a decrease of $239,000, or 17% versus $1,448,000 in the same period last year primarily due to higher operating expenses and property taxes. Operating expenses increased due to higher utilities from the colder weather (plus a ~$30,000 water leak from a frozen pipe) and higher repairs and maintenance.
Multifamily Segment (Pro rata unconsolidated)
Our Multifamily Segment has four unconsolidated joint ventures (Bryant Street, The Verge, Riverside, and .408 Jackson). Riverside was moved from the Development segment to the Multifamily segment in 2022, Bryant Street and .408 Jackson moved as of the beginning of 2024 and The Verge moved effective July 1, 2024, each upon reaching lease up stabilization.

We have nine buildings in service at three different locations totaling 515,077 square feet of industrial and 33,708 square feet of office. These assets were 85.2% leased and occupied during the quarter compared to 95.6% leased and occupied during the same quarter last year due to an eviction for failure to pay rent by one tenant. Total revenues in this segment were $1,347,000, down $106,000 or 7%, over the same period last year due to the tenant default and eviction. Operating profit before G&A was $643,000, down $169,000 or 21% over the same quarter last year due to the lower occupancy and a $118,000 write-off of unrealized rent receivable and $34,000 write-off of leasing deferred commissions from the evicted tenant. Net operating income in this segment was $1,139,000, down $20,000 or 2% compared to the same quarter last year.

Total revenues in this segment were $3,234,000, an increase of $271,000 or 9% versus $2,963,000 in the same period last year. Royalty revenues in the prior year were impacted by the deduction of $289,000 of royalties to resolve an overpayment which we referenced previously. Royalty tons were down 10% primarily due to a decrease at one location that experienced a project specific spike in demand in the prior year. Royalty revenue per ton increased 7% over the same period last year excluding the prior year overpayment deduction. Total operating profit before G&A in this segment was $2,965,000, an increase of $241,000 versus $2,724,000 in the same period last year. Net operating income was $3,284,000, up $524,000 or 19% compared to the same quarter last year due to the higher revenues and a $254,000 decrease in unrealized revenues. The unrealized revenue decrease is due to the temporarily higher minimum royalty payments we are currently receiving at one location which are straight-lined across the life of the lease for GAAP revenue purposes.

With respect to ongoing Development Segment projects:
▪We entered into two new joint venture agreements in early 2024 with Altman Logistics. The first joint venture is a 200,000 square-foot warehouse development project in Lakeland, FL, and the second joint venture is a 182,000 square-foot warehouse redevelopment project in Broward County, FL. We closed on both construction loans in March and anticipate construction to start on both projects in the second quarter of 2025.
▪Shell construction on our spec warehouse project in Aberdeen, MD on Chelsea Road was completed effective April 1, 2025 and is in the lease-up phase.
▪We are the principal capital source to develop 344 residential lots on 110 acres in Harford County, MD. We have funded $26.6 million of our $31.1 million total commitment. A national homebuilder is under contract to purchase all 222 townhome lots and 122 single family lots. At quarter-end, 133 lots have been sold and $19.1 million has been returned to the company of which $4.8 million was booked as profit to the Company.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, FRP presents certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. We provide Pro rata net operating income (NOI) because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships, when read in conjunction with our reported results under GAAP. This measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP financial measures. For ease of comparison all the figures in the tables below include the results for The Verge in the Multifamily segment for all periods shown.
