Alpine Income Property Trust Reports Strong Third Quarter Results

Alpine Income Property Trust, a real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and operates commercial properties, has released its financial results for the third quarter of 2024. The company’s performance during this period demonstrates its ability to generate consistent returns for shareholders despite the challenging economic environment.

Solid Revenue Growth The company’s total revenues for the third quarter of 2024 were $13.5 million, up 16.6% from the same period in 2023. This increase was driven by several factors:

  • Lease Income: Lease income from the company’s property portfolio rose 2.4% to $11.7 million, reflecting the impact of recent property acquisitions.
  • Commercial Loans and Investments: Interest income from the company’s growing portfolio of commercial loans and investments jumped to $1.7 million, up from just $0.1 million a year earlier. This reflects the expansion of this part of the business.
  • Other Revenue: The company generated $0.1 million in other revenue, primarily from a revenue-sharing agreement, which did not exist in the prior-year period.

The diversification of Alpine’s revenue streams, with increasing contributions from commercial loans and other sources, has helped offset any softness in the core property leasing business.

Improved Profitability Alpine’s net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $3.4 million, a significant turnaround from the $0.9 million net loss recorded in the same quarter of 2023. This improvement was driven by several factors:

  • Lower Impairment Charges: The company recorded a $0.4 million impairment charge in Q3 2024, down sharply from the $2.9 million charge in the prior-year period. This reflects the overall strength of the company’s property portfolio and loan investments.
  • Gains on Asset Sales: Alpine generated $3.4 million in gains on the sale of properties during the quarter, up from $2.6 million a year earlier. The company’s ability to selectively dispose of assets and capture value has been an important contributor to profitability.
  • Increased Interest Expense: Interest expense rose to $3.2 million in Q3 2024, up from $2.4 million, due to higher debt levels and the sale of participation interests in one of the company’s mortgage notes.

Overall, Alpine’s focus on prudent capital allocation, disciplined acquisition and disposition strategies, and diversification of revenue sources has enabled it to deliver improved profitability despite the challenging economic backdrop.

Expanding Commercial Loan Portfolio One of the key drivers of Alpine’s performance has been the growth of its commercial loan and investment portfolio. As of September 30, 2024, this portfolio had a total carrying value of $86.5 million, up significantly from just a single loan generating $0.1 million in interest income a year earlier.

The portfolio now includes five construction loans, one mortgage note, and three properties acquired through sale-leaseback transactions with tenant repurchase options. This diversified mix of commercial real estate-related investments has provided Alpine with an additional source of stable, recurring income to complement its property leasing business.

The company has been selective in its underwriting of these commercial loans, focusing on opportunities that align with its overall investment strategy and risk profile. The $1.7 million in interest income generated from this portfolio during the third quarter of 2024 demonstrates the value this business line is creating for Alpine and its shareholders.

Disciplined Capital Allocation Alpine has maintained a disciplined approach to capital allocation, balancing growth through acquisitions, selective dispositions, and prudent use of debt financing. During the first nine months of 2024, the company:

  • Acquired six properties for a combined $53.1 million
  • Sold 10 properties for a total of $55.2 million, generating $4.3 million in gains
  • Utilized its $250 million revolving credit facility, with $79.5 million outstanding as of September 30, 2024
  • Raised $11.1 million in net proceeds through its at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program

This balanced approach has allowed Alpine to expand its portfolio while maintaining a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity to fund future growth opportunities. The company’s access to multiple capital sources, including debt, equity, and asset sales, provides it with the financial flexibility to navigate market conditions and capitalize on attractive investment prospects.

Outlook and Future Prospects Looking ahead, Alpine remains cautiously optimistic about the company’s prospects. While the broader economic environment continues to present challenges, the REIT’s diversified portfolio, disciplined capital management, and focus on high-quality, net-leased properties position it well for the future.

The company’s investment strategy, which targets tenants in industries resilient to e-commerce disruption and those that use physical locations as part of their omnichannel strategies, has helped insulate Alpine from some of the headwinds facing the retail sector. Additionally, the company’s growing commercial loan and investment portfolio provides a complementary source of stable, recurring income.

Alpine’s management team remains committed to prudent capital allocation, selective acquisitions, and strategic dispositions to maximize shareholder value. The company’s strong liquidity position, with $28.1 million in cash and $53.5 million in available capacity on its credit facility, provides ample resources to fund future growth initiatives.

Overall, Alpine Income Property Trust’s solid third-quarter performance, diversified revenue streams, and disciplined approach to capital management suggest the company is well-positioned to navigate the current economic landscape and continue delivering consistent returns for its shareholders.
