Samuel A. Landy, President and CEO, commented, “UMH is pleased to report Normalized FFO of $19.5 million or $0.23 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $16.8 million or $0.23 per diluted share for 2024, resulting in a 16% increase on a dollar basis and no change on a per diluted share basis. Total revenue increased from $60.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 to $66.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 10%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, rental and related income increased by 9% from the prior year and community net operating income increased by 11% and 9%, respectively.
“Our same property operating results continue to demonstrate the strength of our portfolio and our ability to drive increased occupancy, revenue and ultimately property level value. During the quarter, same property rental and related income increased by 8% and same property net operating income increased by 10%, or $3.1 million. Year to date, same property rental and related income increased by 8% and same property net operating income increased by 9% or $5.6 million. The improved operating results were driven by an increase in overall occupancy of 251 units over last year and 189 units to date. We anticipate further occupancy and revenue growth as we continue to install and rent new rental units.
“Sales of manufactured homes generated gross sales for the quarter of approximately $10.5 million as compared to $8.8 million last year. This represents a quarterly sales record. We anticipate sales will continue to be strong as we gain additional traffic at our recently opened expansions.
“Subsequent to quarter end, we closed on the acquisition of two communities in Maryland, containing 191 units, for a total purchase price of $14.6 million. Year to date, we have closed on four communities, containing 457 homesites, for a total purchase price of $39.2 million. We are pleased with our ability to source and acquire new communities. We continue to evaluate potential acquisitions and hope to grow our acquisition pipeline in the near future.”
“UMH continues to deliver improved operating results, property valuations and increase the strength and stability of the company. We look forward to generating growing earnings per share in the coming quarters.”

Note:
(1) Non-GAAP Information: We assess and measure our overall operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“FFO”), which management believes is a useful indicator of our operating performance. FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of a REIT. FFO, as defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), represents net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), excluding certain gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets, the change in the fair value of marketable securities, and the gain or loss on the sale of marketable securities plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization. Included in the NAREIT FFO White Paper – 2018 Restatement, is an option pertaining to assets incidental to our main business in the calculation of NAREIT FFO to make an election to include or exclude gains and losses on the sale of these assets, such as marketable equity securities, and include or exclude mark-to-market changes in the value recognized on these marketable equity securities. In conjunction with the adoption of the FFO White Paper – 2018 Restatement, for all periods presented, we have elected to exclude the gains and losses realized on marketable securities investments and the change in the fair value of marketable securities from our FFO calculation. NAREIT created FFO as a non-U.S. GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance. We define Normalized Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Normalized FFO”), as FFO excluding certain one-time charges. FFO and Normalized FFO should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO exclude historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have a different cost basis. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO and Normalized FFO and, accordingly, our FFO and Normalized FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs. The items excluded from FFO and Normalized FFO are significant components in understanding the Company’s financial performance.
FFO and Normalized FFO (i) do not represent Cash Flow from Operations as defined by U.S. GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO and Normalized FFO, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other REITs.
The diluted weighted shares outstanding used in the calculation of FFO per Diluted Common Share and Normalized FFO per Diluted Common Share were 84.8 million and 84.1 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 71.9 million and 70.7 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Common stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase 6.3 million shares of common stock amounted to 805,000 shares and 818,000 shares, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, were included in the computation of Diluted Net Income per Share. Common stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase 4.0 million shares of common stock amounted to 466,000 shares, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, were included in the computation of Diluted Net Income per Share. Common stock equivalents resulting from stock options in the amount of 409,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, were excluded from the computation of the Diluted Net Loss per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The reconciliation of the Company’s U.S. GAAP net loss to the Company’s FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are calculated as follows (in thousands):
