VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AH Realty Trust (NYSE: AHRT) today announced its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and provided an update on current events and earnings guidance.
Second Quarter and Recent Highlights:
-- Raised full-year 2026 FFO, as Adjusted by 6% from original guidance to
$0.53 to $0.57 per diluted share, driven by continued NOI growth across
the retail and mixed-use office portfolio, sooner than anticipated debt
paydowns from closing the Multifamily Portfolio Sale First Closing sooner
than anticipated, and the accretive impact of the Company's share
repurchase activity. Portfolio performance was highlighted by:
-- Better than anticipated office leasing activity and spreads
-- Sooner than expected retail tenant openings and rent commencements
-- Higher than anticipated percentage rent from retail tenants
-- OpEx savings resulting from successful real estate tax appeals
-- Lower than anticipated bad debt
-- As part of its ongoing governance enhancements supporting the Company's
strategic transformation, the Company advanced its board refreshment
process by electing Theodore Bigman and Lori Wittman as independent
directors at the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2026
Annual Meeting"); Following the 2026 Annual Meeting, Dennis Gartman and
George Allen retired from the board and each of Mr. Bigman and Ms.
Wittman were appointed to the board's Audit Committee. Additionally, F.
Blair Wimbush was appointed Chair of the board's Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee and was appointed to the board's Compensation
Committee.
-- On May 20, 2026, the Company completed the sale of nine multifamily
properties and six of the retail and office components of the properties,
for aggregate gross proceeds of $485.0 million, generating a net gain on
sale of $18.8 million, after transaction costs and escrow amounts (the
"Multifamily Portfolio Sale First Closing"). Using these proceeds, the
Company repaid $265.5 million of secured debt and $195.0 million of
unsecured debt on the revolving credit facility, reducing our Net Debt to
Total Adjusted EBITDAre leverage metric to 7.1x. Two multifamily
properties remain under contract for $77.0 million.
"This has been the most consequential and productive quarter in AH Realty Trust's history," said Shawn Tibbetts, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In a matter of months, we fundamentally transformed this company, closing $485 million in multifamily sales, redeploying approximately $460 million of those proceeds directly to debt paydown, and expanding our share repurchase authorization to $100 million, actions that have rebuilt the foundation of this company. Most importantly, we have done so while operating our retail and mixed-use office portfolio with efficiency and excellence. Given the continued strength of our portfolio, the transformational actions we have completed, and our visibility into the coming quarters, we are raising our full-year 2026 FFO, As Adjusted guidance range to $0.53 to $0.57 per diluted share, underscoring the progress we are making to simplify AH Realty Trust into a more focused real estate platform centered on disciplined capital allocation and long term shareholder value creation."

Financial Results
Net loss attributable to common stockholders and OP Unitholders for the second quarter of 2026 was $24.2 million compared to net income attributable to common stockholders and OP Unitholders of $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. The period-over-period change was driven by various non-recurring events in 2026. During the quarter, the Company recognized impairment of $20.9 million in our multifamily portfolio, including $8.7 million related to our Greenside Apartments asset and $12.2 million related to our Gainesville, GA assets, impairment of notes receivable (included in loss from discontinued operations) of $13.5 million taken in the second quarter of 2026 for the Solis Kennesaw real estate financing investment, due to updated estimates on the selling price, and $1.8 million of impairment related to certain development projects that management has determined will no longer be pursued. Additionally, the Company recognized a net gain of $18.8 million related to the nine multifamily, including the retail components of five properties and the office component of one property, included in the Multifamily Portfolio Sale First Closing, and repaid $265.5 million in mortgages as a result of the sale, resulting in a $2.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt. The Company also recognized a $2.2 million loss on the disposition of the general contracting and real estate services business, and a $3.0 million tax provision for the period as a result of the sale, primarily due to deferred tax assets that are no longer expected to be realized.
FFO attributable to common stockholders and OP Unitholders for the second quarter of 2026 was $15.4 million compared to $19.0 million for the second quarter of 2025. The period-over-period decrease in FFO was primarily due to the $2.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt, $1.3 million decrease in general contracting and real estate services gross profit as a result of the disposition and decreased volume, and $3.0 million tax provision for the period as a result of the disposition of the general contracting and real estate services business, primarily due to deferred tax assets that are no longer expected to be realized. FFO, As Adjusted attributable to common stockholders and OP Unitholders for the second quarter of 2026 increased to $14.1 million compared to $13.8 million for the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase in FFO, As Adjusted was primarily due to decreased interest expense due to approximately $456.0 million of debt repayments (net of additional borrowings) as a result of the Multifamily Portfolio Sale First Closing and an increase in portfolio NOI as a result of Columbus Village II coming out of redevelopment and increased economic occupancy at The Interlock and Southern Post. These increases were partially offset by increased general and administrative expenses and
