Financial Results

Rental revenues increased $3.5 million from $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in rental revenue is primarily due to a $4.1 million increase at our multifamily properties offset in part by a decrease of $0.6 million from the commercial properties. The increase in revenue from the multifamily properties is primarily due to the acquisition of the VAA Holdback Portfolio in 2022.

Net operating loss decreased $1.4 million from $4.5 million for three months ended March 31, 2022 to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net operating loss is primarily due to the $3.5 million increase in rental revenue as noted above offset in part by an increase of $2.8 million in property operating and depreciation expenses. The increase in property and depreciation expenses is due to the acquisition of the VAA Holdback Portfolio.

Net income attributable to common shares decreased $8.3 million from $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net income is primarily attributed to $11.1 million gain on sale or write down of assets in 2022, offset in part by approximately $2.0 million of noncontrolling interest. The gain on sale or write down of assets is primarily due to the sale of Toulon, a 240 unit multifamily property in Gautier, Mississippi, in 2022.
