GREAT NECK, N.Y., Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One Liberty Properties, Inc. (NYSE: OLP), a real estate investment trust focused on the ownership of industrial properties, today announced operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Our transformation into an industrial-focused REIT continues to deliver meaningful results, as evidenced by our strong second quarter revenue and per share growth performance,” stated Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty. “Our disciplined approach to portfolio optimization, including the successful disposition of non-core retail assets, positions us well for continued growth in our core industrial segment, which now represents approximately 85% of our base rent. We are also pleased to have secured a new credit facility that provides additional flexibility to execute on our industrial growth strategy which will contribute to our ability to create long-term value for our stockholders.”

Second Quarter and Recent Highlights:

• Net income of $0.71 per diluted share.
• 8.9% growth in FFO¹ per diluted share to $0.49 per share, up $0.04 from the second quarter of 2025, and 4.1% growth in AFFO per diluted share¹ to $0.51 per share, up $0.02 from the second quarter of 2025, driven primarily by the increase in rental income.
• Portfolio occupancy of 97.6% as of quarter end.
• Sold three non-core properties, generating net proceeds of $16.3 million and a $13.4 million gain.
• Entered into an agreement to sell a non-core retail property in Chicago, Illinois for approximately $5.7 million.
• Subsequent to quarter end, entered into a new up to $100 million revolving credit facility, extending maturity and enhancing flexibility, and sold a non-core retail property in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, for approximately $2.1 million.
  
  

Key Drivers of Second Quarter Results:

• Rental income, net, grew 10.3% or $2.5 million year over year due primarily to accretive acquisitions. 
• Total operating expenses were $17.6 million compared to $15.7 million year over year primarily due to industrial acquisitions which resulted in additional depreciation and amortization.
• Interest expense was up $1.0 million year over year due primarily to an increase in the weighted average principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding.
• The 8.9% and 4.1% per share growth in FFO and AFFO, respectively, was driven primarily by an increase in rental income related to accretive industrial acquisitions, offset primarily by an increase in interest expense.
• Diluted per share net income, FFO and AFFO were impacted compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year by an average increase of approximately 236,000 in the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding as a result of stock issuances in connection with the equity incentive and dividend reinvestment programs.

Balance Sheet:

At June 30, 2026, the Company had $13.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $872.1 million, total debt of $528.3 million, and total OLP stockholders' equity of $304.4 million.

At August 3, 2026, One Liberty’s available liquidity was $110.6 million, including $15.4 million of cash and cash equivalents (including the credit facility's required $3.0 million average deposit maintenance balance) and $95.2 million available under its credit facility.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company entered into, with the lenders on its prior facility, a new up to $100 million credit facility with a scheduled maturity in December 2029 and an extension right to December 2030. Interest is based on the 30-day SOFR plus an applicable margin, based on the ratio of total debt to the value of the Company’s properties, of between 175 and 250 basis points. The new facility adds an “accordion” feature which provides the option to increase the facility by up to $50 million, and it expands the purposes for which the facility can be used, further enhancing the Company’s financial flexibility.

Transaction Activity:

• Acquired approximately 14 acres of land for $800,000, adjacent to an industrial property located in Blythewood, SC that the Company acquired in the first quarter 2026.
  
• Sold non-core retail properties including: an Advance Auto Parts property in South Euclid, Ohio, a multi-tenant property in Champaign, Illinois, and a multi-tenant property in El Paso, Texas, for an aggregate price of $26.5 million, generating net proceeds of $16.3 million (after giving effect to the payoff of $9.1 million of mortgages) and an aggregate gain of $13.4 million.
  
• On July 28, 2026, sold a non-core retail property located in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, for approximately $2.1 million. This sale generated net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million, and the Company estimates that it will generate a net gain of approximately $887,000.
  
  

Pending Transaction:

• Entered into an agreement to sell a non-core retail property located in Chicago, Illinois, for approximately $5.7 million, and anticipate the sale will close in third quarter 2026. The Company estimates that this sale will generate net proceeds of approximately $5.4 million and will result in a loss of approximately $280,000.
  
  

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

One Liberty computes funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the “White Paper on Funds From Operations” issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and NAREIT’s related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. In computing FFO, the Company does not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with its financing activities or depreciation of non-real estate assets.

One Liberty computes adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, by adjusting from FFO for straight-line rent accruals and amortization of lease intangibles, deducting from income (i) additional rent from a ground lease tenant, (ii) income on settlement of litigation, (iii) income on insurance recoveries from casualties, (iv) lease termination and assignment fees, and adding back to income (i) amortization of restricted stock and restricted stock unit compensation expense, (ii) amortization of costs in connection with its financing activities (including its share of its unconsolidated joint ventures), (iii) debt prepayment costs, (iv) amortization of lease incentives and (v) mortgage intangible assets. Since the NAREIT White Paper does not provide guidelines for computing AFFO, the computation of AFFO varies from one REIT to another.

One Liberty believes that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, the Company believes that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. Management also considers FFO and AFFO to be useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions.

FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of One Liberty’s operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity. FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of the Company’s cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating One Liberty’s performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

Operating Measure:

Base Rent, or base rent, generally represents the cash base rent payable to OLP during the twelve months ending June 30, 2027 under leases in effect at July 1, 2026. See OLP’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026 for further information on the calculation of Base Rent.
