Full transcript - American Strategic Investment Co (NYC) Q2 2025:
Conference Operator: Please note that today’s conference is being recorded. At this time, I’ll turn the conference over to Curtis Barker, Senior Vice President. Curtis, you may now begin.
Curtis Barker, Senior Vice President, American Strategic Investment Company: Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for our second quarter twenty twenty five earnings call. This event is also being webcast in the Investor Relations section of our website. Joining me today on the call to discuss the quarter’s results are Nick Schorz, Jr, American Strategic Investment Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Michael Lisanto, the Chief Financial Officer. The following information contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties.
Please review the forward looking and cautionary statements section at the end of the second quarter twenty twenty five earnings release for various factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward looking statements made during our call today. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward looking statements.
Conference Operator: We refer all of you
Curtis Barker, Senior Vice President, American Strategic Investment Company: to our SEC filings, including the Form 10 ks filed for the year ended 12/31/2024, filed on 03/19/2025, and all subsequent SEC filings for a more detailed discussion of the risk factors that could cause these differences. Any forward looking statements provided during this conference call are only made as of the date of this call. As stated in our SEC filings, the company disclaims any intent or obligation to update or revise these forward looking statements except as required by law. Also during today’s call, we will discuss non GAAP financial measures, which we believe can be useful in evaluating the company’s financial performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is available in our earnings release, which is posted on our website at www.americanstrategicinvestment.com. Please also refer to our earnings release for more detailed information about what we consider to be implied investment grade tenants, a term we will use throughout today’s call. I’ll now turn the call over to Nick Shore, Jr, Chief Executive Officer. Please go ahead, Nick.
Nick Schorz, Jr, Chief Executive Officer, American Strategic Investment Company: Thanks, Curtis. Good morning, and thank you all for joining us. Our second quarter results were largely in line with the first quarter with occupancy flat at 82% and a continued focus on leasing up available space. We remain committed to operating and creating value at our current assets with a focus on tenant retention, property improvements and cost efficiency. During the quarter, we executed two lease renewals, one each at 123 William And 1140 Avenue Of The Americas, extending the weighted average remaining lease term of the portfolio to six years at quarter end.
As a result of our leasing progress, we have reduced near term lease expirations to only 7% of annualized straight line rent from 12% at the end of the last quarter. Further, 54% of our leases now extend beyond 02/1930, up from 51% last quarter. We believe that this term, coupled with a high quality tenant base featuring top 10 tenants who are 77% investment grade or implied investment grade, provides significant portfolio stability. As a key part of our strategy to unlock value, diversify our holdings, and strengthen our balance sheet, we are continuing to market 123 William Street and 196 Orchard for sale. Assuming we can sell these properties on favorable terms, upon closing, we expect to use the net proceeds to retire debt and reinvest in higher yielding assets to enhance our long term portfolio value.
Our $440,000,000 approximately 1,000,000 square foot New York City real estate portfolio is located primarily in Manhattan. With six office and retail properties, we benefit from a strong tenant base that includes large investment grade firms. By focusing on resilient industries near transit oriented locations, we believe the portfolio is well positioned. With that, I’ll turn it over to Michael Lysanto to go over the second quarter results. Michael?
Michael Lisanto, Chief Financial Officer, American Strategic Investment Company: Thank you, Nick. Second quarter twenty twenty five revenue was $12,200,000 compared to $15,800,000 in the 2024, principally due to the sale of 9 Times Square in the 2024. The company’s GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $41,700,000 in the 2025 compared to a net loss of $91,900,000 in the 2024 due primarily to an impairment recorded in the quarter related to the sale of Nine Times Square. For the 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $400,000 compared to $4,500,000 in the 2024. Cash net operating income was $4,200,000 compared to $7,400,000 in the 2024.
As always, a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non GAAP measures can be found in our earnings release and quarterly supplemental on our website. Additionally, during the second quarter, the lender for 1140 Avenue Of The Americas commenced foreclosure proceedings with respect to the property. As further updates on this process become available, we will share them with you. I’ll now turn the call back to Nick for some closing remarks.
Nick Schorz, Jr, Chief Executive Officer, American Strategic Investment Company: Thank you, Michael. Our ongoing sale process of select Manhattan properties represents a deliberate strategy designed to unlock substantial capital while reducing our debt burden. If consummated on the anticipated terms, we believe the proceeds from these potential sales would provide essential funding to pursue new investment opportunities with superior returns compared to the assets in our current portfolio. We view this repositioning as fundamental to maximizing shareholder returns and we’ll provide regular updates on our progress.
Conference Operator: Thank you. This concludes today’s conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation. Have a wonderful day.
