BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
Note 1 – Organization and Background
BRT Apartments Corp. (the "Company" or "BRT"), a Maryland corporation, owns, operates and, to a lesser extent, develops multi-family properties. These multi-family properties may be wholly owned by us or by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company contributes a significant portion of the equity.
At June 30, 2025, the Company: (i) wholly-owns 21 multi-family properties located in 11 states with an aggregate of 5,420 units and a carrying value of $605,283,000 ; (ii) has ownership interests, through unconsolidated entities, in eight multi-family properties located in four states with an aggregate of 2,527 units and the carrying value of its net equity investment is $30,023,000 ; (iii) has investments in joint ventures that own two multi-family properties which investments are treated for financial statement purposes as loans (the "Preferred Equity Investments") with a carrying value of $17,698,000 ; and (iv) owns other assets, through consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries, with a carrying value of $1,783,000 . The 29 multi-family properties are located in 11 states; most of these properties are located in the Southeast United States and Texas.
The Company conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.
Note 2 – Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Certain items on the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024, have been reclassified to conform with the current quarter's presentation including reclassifying Net change in deferred concessions and straight line rent to Other assets on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Other than its Preferred Equity Investments, the Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. For each venture, the Company evaluated the rights provided to each party in the venture to assess the consolidation of the venture. All investments in unconsolidated joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of these ventures. As a result, none of these joint ventures are variable interest entities ("VIEs"). Additionally, as determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company does not exercise substantial operating control over these entities, and therefore the entities are not consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. The distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro-rata to the percentage equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.
The joint ventures in which the Company has the Preferred Equity Investments were determined to be VIE's, as it has been determined that the equity holders lack the ability to direct the activities of the legal entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. It was determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's performance, and therefore these entities are not consolidated.
The joint venture that owns a property in Yonkers, New York, was determined not to be a VIE but is consolidated because the Company has controlling rights in such entity.
7
Note 2 – Basis of Preparation (continued)
The Company reviews each real estate asset owned, including those held through investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, for impairment when there is an event or a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures and records impairment charges, and reduces the carrying value of owned properties, when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. For its unconsolidated joint venture investments, the Company measures and records impairment losses, and reduces the carrying value of the equity investment when indicators of impairment are present and the expected discounted cash flows related to the investment is less than the carrying value. When the Company does not expect to recover its carrying value on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying value to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. When the Company does not expect to recover its carrying value on unconsolidated joint ventures that are under contract for sale, the Company, when it is determined that the sale is probable, reduces its carrying value to its fair value.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Substantially, all of the Company's real estate assets, at acquisition, are comprised of real estate owned and leased to tenants on a short-term basis. Therefore, the Company aggregates real estate assets for reporting purposes and operates in one reportable segment.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. As the Company operates in one reportable segment, the CODM is provided financial reports including consolidated income statements detailing total revenues, total expenses and net income. These financial reports assist the CODM in assessing the Company’s financial performance and in allocating resources.
Note 3 – Equity
Equity Distribution Agreements
The Company has equity distribution agreements with three sales agents to sell up to $40,000,000 of its common stock from time-to-time in an at-the-market offering. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not 40,000,000 of shares pursuant to the equity distribution agreements.
Common Stock Dividend Distribution
The Company declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.25 per share, payable on July 9, 2025, to stockholders of record on June 25, 2025.
Share Repurchase Program
Pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program, as amended from time to time, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock through open-market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. On March 11, 2025, the Board of Directors, replenished the value of the shares available to be purchased pursuant to this program to $10,000,000 of shares (a replenishment of $5,050,000 shares from the shares that were available to be repurchased prior to such increase) and extended the program through December 31, 2026.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 63,356 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $15.84 for an aggregate cost of $1,004,000 . During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 142,080 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $16.79 for an aggregate cost of $2,386,000 . As of June 30, 2025, and August 1, 2025, up to $8,752,000
8
Note 3 – Equity (continued)
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 53,619 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $17.34 for an aggregate cost of $930,000 . During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 176,680 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $18.10 for an aggregate cost of $3,197,000 .
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRP”), among other things, provides stockholders with the opportunity to reinvest all or a portion of their cash dividends paid on the Company’s common stock in additional shares of its common stock, at a discount, determined in the Company’s sole discretion, of up to 5 % from the market price for the common stock (as such price is calculated pursuant to the DRP). The discount from the market price is currently 3 %. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, 50,179 and 96,629 shares were issued in lieu of cash dividends of $822,000 and 1,630,000 , respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 57,901 and 108,852 shares were issued in lieu of cash dividends of $947,000 and $1,878,000 , respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
In June 2024, the Company's stockholders approved the 2024 Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"). This plan permits the Company to grant: (i) stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSU's"), performance shares awards and any one
or more of the foregoing, for up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares; and (ii) cash settled dividend equivalent rights in tandem with the grant of restricted stock units and certain performance based awards. As of June 30, 2025, 632,837 shares are available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2024 Plan. Awards to acquire 1,324,904 shares of common stock are outstanding under the 2024 Plan, the 2022 Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"), and the 2020 Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan"; and together with the 2022 Plan, the "Prior Plans"). No further awards may be granted pursuant to the Prior Plans.
Restricted Stock Units
As of June 30, 2025, an aggregate of 402,076 of unvested RSU's are outstanding pursuant to the 2024 Plan and the Prior Plans. Generally, the RSUs entitle the recipients, subject to continued service through the three-year vesting period to receive (i) the underlying shares if and to the extent certain performance and/or market conditions are satisfied at the vesting date, and (ii) an amount equal to the cash dividends that would have been paid during the three-year performance period with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs if, when, and to the extent, the related RSUs vest. The shares underlying the RSUs are not participating securities but are contingently issuable shares.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $296,000 and $231,000 , respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $589,000 and $703,000 of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the RSUs. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $1,103,000 and $1,692,000 of compensation expense, respectively, has been deferred and will be charged to expense over the remaining vesting periods. The weighted average remaining vesting period of these restricted stock units is approximately 1.5 years.
On July 11, 2025, the Company awarded an aggregate of approximately 173,700 shares subject to restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and related dividend equivalent rights. Generally, the awards vest in 2028 subject to satisfaction of, among other things, market and performance conditions.
The Company determined that at June 30, 2025, none of the performance and market conditions with respect to the vesting of the RSUs granted in 2022 had been met. Accordingly, all such awards, to the extent not previously forfeited, were forfeited.
Restricted Stock
In January 2025 and 2024, the Company granted 165,408 and 166,439 shares, pursuant to the 2024 Plan and 2022 Plan, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, an aggregate of 922,828 shares of unvested restricted stock are outstanding pursuant to the 2024 Plan and Prior Plans. The shares of restricted stock vest five years from the date of grant and under specified circumstances, including a change in control, may vest earlier. For financial statement purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the outstanding shares shown on the consolidated balance sheets until they vest, but is included in the earnings per share computation.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $839,000 and $859,000 , respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $1,688,000 and $1,729,000 , of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted stock awards. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $7,787,000 and $6,660,000 , respectively has been deferred as unearned compensation and will be charged

Note 3 – Equity (continued)
to expense over the remaining vesting periods of these restricted stock awards. The weighted average remaining vesting period of these restricted stock awards is 2.3 years.
Per Share Data
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such period. Net income is also allocated to the unvested restricted stock outstanding during each period, as the restricted stock is entitled to receive dividends and is therefore considered a participating security. The RSUs are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation as they are not participating securities.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock or resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock that share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding during such period.
In calculating diluted earnings per share, the Company includes only those shares underlying the RSUs that it anticipates will vest based on management's estimates as of the end of the most recent quarter. The Company excludes any shares underlying the RSUs from such calculation if their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of earnings per share calculations (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts:

Note 4 – Leases
Lessor Accounting
The Company owns a commercial property leased to two retail tenants under operating leases expiring from 2028 to 2035, with tenant options to extend or terminate the leases. Revenues from such leases are reported as rental income, net, and are comprised of (i) lease components, which includes fixed lease payments and (ii) non-lease components, which includes reimbursements of property level operating expenses. The Company does not separate non-lease components from the related lease components, as the timing and pattern of transfer are the same, and accounts for the combined component in accordance with ASC 842.
Rental revenue from multi-family properties is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Lease concessions are generally reported on a straight line basis over the lease term. Leases on residential properties are generally for terms that do not exceed one year .

The Company is a lessee under a ground lease in Yonkers, NY which is classified as an operating lease. The ground lease expires on June 30, 2045. There are no renewal options. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining lease term is 20.0 years.
The Company is a lessee under a corporate office lease in Great Neck, New York, which is classified as an operating lease. The lease expires on December 31, 2031 and provides a five-year renewal option. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining lease term, including renewal options deemed exercised, is 11.5 years.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company's Right of Use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities were $1,917,000 and $2,090,000 , respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's ROU assets and lease liabilities were $2,003,000 and $2,167,000 , respectively.
The discount rate applied to measure each ROU asset and lease liability is based on the Company’s Incremental Borrowing Rate (“IBR”). The Company considers the general economic environment and its historical borrowing rate activity and factors in various financing and asset specific adjustments to ensure the IBR is appropriate to the intended use of the underlying lease. As the Company did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient, lease term assumptions determined under ASC 840 were carried forward and applied in calculating the lease liabilities recorded under ASC 842. The Company’s ground lease offers a renewal option which it assesses against relevant economic factors to determine whether it is reasonably certain of exercising or not exercising the option. Lease payments associated with renewal periods that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised, if any, are included in the measurement of the corresponding lease liability and ROU asset.

Note 6 – Loans
The Company made preferred equity investments in two separate joint ventures which in turn acquired multi-family properties in the locations identified below. In accordance with GAAP, these investments are treated as loans. These investments are unsecured and are subordinate, including the payment of the returns thereon, to the mortgage debt encumbering the property acquired by the applicable joint venture. Information as to these investments at June 30, 2025 is summarized below (dollars and thousands):

These investments provide for (1) an Annual Return (as set forth in the table above) compounded monthly, to the Company, of which the Current Return (as set forth in the table above) is payable monthly to the extent of available cash flow, and the Hurdle Return also to be paid monthly from remaining cash flow if any, parri passu or after the sponsor's receipt of its management fees and specified returns on its investment and (2) the total amount invested by the Company, including any unpaid portion of the Current Return and the Hurdle Return, to be payable to the Company, prior to any payments to the sponsor, upon the earlier to occur of certain events (e.g., sale of the property or the refinancing of the mortgage underlying the property) and the redemption date specified above. The Current Return is recorded as interest income when it is due from the sponsor and the Hurdle Return is recognized as interest income when it is received. Deferred loan fees are capitalized and recorded into income over the life of the investment. The Company's exposure to loss is limited to its original Invested Amount (as set forth in the table above).

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 , the Company recorded $316,000 and $624,000 respectively, of interest income, representing the full amount of the Current Return (including loan fee amortization of $15,000 and $31,000 , respectively), payable with respect to these loans. As of June 30, 2025, these loans were current in their payment of the Current Return.
Note 7 – Allowance for Credit Loss
The Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") reserve required under ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”) reflects the Company's estimate as of the balance sheet date of potential credit losses related to its loan portfolio. Changes to the CECL reserve are recognized through a provision for or reversal of current expected credit loss reserve on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The reserve is based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current loan portfolio, market conditions and reasonable and supportable macroeconomic forecasts for the duration of each loan. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of the receivables.
The Company considers key credit quality indicators in underwriting loans and estimating credit losses, including: the capitalization of borrowers and sponsors; the expertise of the sponsors in a particular real estate sector and geographic market; collateral type; geographic region; use and occupancy of the property; property market value; loan amount and lien position; industry risk rating for the same and similar loans; and prior experience with the sponsor. Such analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management personnel and evaluated by senior management on a quarterly basis, utilizing various data sources. Ultimate repayment of the loans referenced in note 6 is sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions, liquidity, existence of an active sales market for properties, and availability of replacement financing.

.Credit Facility
The Company's credit facility, with an affiliate of Valley National Bank ("VNB"), allows the Company to borrow, subject to compliance with borrowing base requirements and other conditions, up to $40,000,000 . The facility can be used to facilitate the acquisition of multi-family properties, repay mortgage debt secured by multi-family properties and for operating expenses (i.e., working capital (including dividend payments)); provided that no more than $25,000,000 may be used for operating expenses. The facility is secured by the cash available at VNB and the Company's pledge of the interests in the entities that own the properties, and matures in September 2027.
The interest rate on the credit facility, which adjusts monthly and is subject to a floor of 6.0 %, equals one-month term plus 250 basis points. The interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2025 is 6.95 %. There is an unused facility fee of 0.25 % per annum on the total amount committed by VNB and unused by the Company.

Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements
The Company estimates the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the framework established in fair value accounting guidance. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The hierarchy described below prioritizes inputs to the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs to be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
• Level 1— inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets
• Level 2— inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
• Level 3— inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to fair value.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable (included in other assets), accounts payable and accrued liabilities: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of these accounts.
Loan Receivables: At June 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of the loan receivables is greater than their carrying value by approximately $178,000 , based on market interest rates ranging from 5.91 % to 6.12 %. At December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company's loan receivables, equaled their carrying value due to their proximity to origination. The Company values its loan receivables using a discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flow of each instrument.
16
Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Junior subordinated notes: At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the notes is lower than their carrying value by approximately $3,554,000 and $3,578,000 , respectively, based on a market interest rate of 7.59 % and 7.94 %, respectively. The Company values its junior subordinated notes using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument.
Mortgages payable: At June 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is lower than their carrying value by approximately $32,369,000 , assuming market interest rates between 4.88 % and 6.54 %. At December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable was lower than their carrying value by approximately $39,277,000 , assuming market interest rates between 5.38 % and 6.61 %. Market interest rates were determined using rates which the Company believes reflects institutional lender yield requirements at the balance sheet dates. The Company values its mortgages payable using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument.

Note 14 – New Accounting Pronouncement
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024–03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220–40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU aims to enhance financial reporting transparency by requiring disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities ("PBEs"). The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income
statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories within the footnotes to the financial statements.
ASU No. 2024–03 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is evaluating the new guidance to determine impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Overview
We are an internally managed real estate investment trust, also known as a REIT, that owns, operates and, to a lesser extent, holds interests in joint ventures that own and operate multi-family properties. At June 30, 2025, we: (i) wholly-own 21 multi-family properties with an aggregate of 5,420 units and a carrying value of $605.3 million; (ii) have ownership interests, through unconsolidated entities, in eight multi-family properties with 2,527 units and a carrying value of $30.0 million; (iii) have preferred equity interests in two multi-family properties with a carrying value of $17.7 million and (iii) own other assets, through consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries, with a carrying value of $1.8 million. The 29 multi-family properties are located in 11 states; most of these properties are located in the Southeast United States and Texas.
Acquisition subsequent to June 30, 2025
On July 10, 2025, a joint venture in which we have an 80% interest, acquired 1322 North, a 214-unit multi-family property located in Auburn, AL. The Company acquired the property for $36.5 million, including a $24.4 million mortgage. The mortgage matures in 2032, bears a 5.38% fixed interest rate, and is interest only through maturity. We contributed $10.7 million to the joint venture for our equity interest. In connection with this transaction, we borrowed $7 million from our credit facility. See Notes 9 and 10 to our consolidated financial statements.
Challenges and Uncertainties
We face challenges due to the uncertain national economic environment (e.g., the possibility of inflation, recession and/or stagflation, the potential impact of tariffs and trade wars, and/or volatile interest rates), and uncertainties in the multifamily property market(e.g., limited acquisition opportunities due to the mispricing of assets (i.e.,cap rates that do not, in our belief, correlate appropriately to interest rates and other market factors) and oversupply of multifamily properties in several markets in which we compete (including Atlanta, GA, Huntsville, AL, Dallas, TX, San Antonio, TX, Nashville TN, LaGrange, GA and San Marcos, TX). In addition, we use concessions (and in particular, in markets that are especially competitive) as a means to improve occupancy. The use of concessions will reduce our rental income and may add to the variability of our operating results. These challenges and uncertainties have, and we anticipate will continue to (i) adversely impact the rental and occupancy rates at our properties, which will adversely impact our operating results, and (ii) as further noted below, limit our ability or willingness to acquire properties, grow rental income and/or control our real estate operating expenses, some of which, such as real estate taxes and insurance expense, we have a very limited ability to control.
In light of the challenging acquisition environment and the limited funds available to us to acquire properties, we are pursuing (i) alternative investments in the multi-family property arena, including preferred equity investments (e.g., an investment entitling us to a fixed rate of return prior to distributions to more junior investors) or bridge loans (e.g., a loan secured by a first mortgage on the subject property) and/or (ii) the acquisition of multi-family properties through joint ventures. We do not anticipate that in the near term, these type of investments (other than joint ventures already included in our portfolio), will constitute a significant part of our portfolio, and can provide no assurance that such investments will be profitable.
We anticipate that our mortgage interest expense will increase as we refinance the aggregate $174.5 million of principal balances of mortgage debt maturing through 2027 (including $46.8 million of such principal balances at unconsolidated subsidiaries) because current comparable mortgage interest rates are generally higher than the weighted average interest rate on such maturing mortgages (i.e, the weighted average interest rate on the mortgages on our consolidated and unconsolidated properties maturing through December 31, 2027 is 4.09%). For comparison purposes, the interest rate on the mortgage obtained in connection with the Auburn Acquisition was 5.38%.

Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to three months ended June 30, 2024.
As used herein, the term "same store properties" refers to multi-family properties that were wholly owned for the entirety of the periods presented. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, all of our multi-family properties in our consolidated portfolio are same store properties.

Rental and other revenue from real estate properties
The change was due to an aggregate decrease of $166,000 due to a decline in ancillary income (i.e, storage income, amenity fees, termination fees, etc.) and to a lesser extent, a decline in rental rates (which includes the effect of straight line rent adjustments related to rent concessions),The change was offset by an aggregate $117,000 increase due to a lease extension and tenant reimbursements at a commercial property and an improvement in occupancy.
Loan interest and other income
The increase is due primarily to interest income (including fee amortization) of $315,000 earned from the preferred equity investments originated in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Real estate operating expenses.
The change is due to a $295,000 increase in repair and maintenance expense, a portion of which was reimbursed from insurance proceeds. There were also increases in payroll, real estate taxes and utilities expense, none of which were individually significant. The change was offset by a $263,000 reduction in the premium on our master insurance policy.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased primarily due to $393,000 of interest from the financing of our Woodland Trails - LaGrange, GA property which occurred in the third quarter of 2024, offset by a $98,000 decrease in interest on our subordinated debt due to a reduction in interest rates. We anticipate that interest expense may increase in the short term as we borrowed $7.0 million from our credit facility in connection with the Auburn Acquisition.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures
Equity in earnings decreased $90,000 from $389,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $299,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was the result of reduced revenues and increased real estate operating expense at many of our unconsolidated multi-family properties, offset by a reduced loss at our Stono Oaks property. This property is in lease up and generated increased revenues as occupancy increased to 78% at June 30, 2025.
Insurance recovery of casualty loss
In the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company received a $189,000 insurance reimbursement (net of a $100,000 deductible) from a casualty event that occurred at our Silvana Oaks property. There was no comparable recovery in the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Income tax provision
The increase is due to the receipt, in the three months ended June 30, 2024, of a $164,000 Tennessee franchise refund due to a change in Tennessee law.

Results of Operations
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 compared to six months ended June 30, 2024.
As used herein, the term "same store properties" refers to multi-family properties that were wholly owned for the entirety of the periods presented. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, all of our properties in our consolidated portfolio are same store properties.
Revenues
The following table compares our revenues for the periods indicated:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Dollars in thousands): | 2025 | 2024 | Increase (Decrease) | % Change | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Total revenues | $ | 48,303 | $ | 47,265 | $ | 1,038 | 2.2 | % | ||||||||||||||||||
Rental and other revenue from real estate properties
The increase is due to a lease extension and tenant reimbursements at our commercial property and, to a lesser extent, an increase in rental rates (which includes the effect of straight line rent adjustments related to rent concessions).
Loan interest and other income
The increase is due primarily to interest income (including fee amortization) of $625,000 earned from the preferred equity investments originated in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Real estate operating expense
The change is due primarily to increases of (i) $213,000 in repairs and maintenance a portion of which was reimbursed from insurance proceeds; (ii) $173,000 in utilities, primarily water and sewer; (iii) $164,000 in real estate taxes due primarily to increased assessments; and (iv) $145,000, primarily due to leasing expense.
The increase was offset by $508,000 decrease in premium on our master insurance policy.
Interest expense
The change is due primarily to the additional $782,000 related to the Woodlands Financing, offset by $204,000 due to the decrease on the interest rate on our junior subordinated notes.
General and administrative
Of the decrease, approximately (i) $145,000 is due to a temporary reduction in staffing and (ii) $114,000 is due to reduced amortization associated with RSUs that vest upon the achievement of specified levels of adjusted funds from operations; we do not currently anticipate achieving the minimum performance level that would result in the vesting of such RSUs. The decrease
22
was offset by a $150,000 increase primarily due to professional fees related to the 2024 audit. We anticipate that during the quarter ending September 30, 2025, we will incur a $237,000 non-cash charge related to Mitchell Gould's, our former Executive Vice President, restricted stock awards.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures
Equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures increased to $712,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $617,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due primarily to continued leasing at our Stone Oaks property which is currently in lease up.
Insurance recovery of casualty loss
In the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received and aggregate of $257,000 insurance reimbursements (net of an aggregate of $200,000 in deductibles) from casualty events that occurred at our Silvana Oaks and Avalon properties. There was no comparable recovery in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Income tax provision
Income tax provision increased to $118,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $13,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to the receipt, in the six months ended June 30, 2024, of a Tennessee franchise tax refund due to a change in Tennessee law.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require funds to pay operating expenses and debt service obligations, acquire and/or invest in properties (including alternative investments), make capital and other improvements, fund capital contributions, and pay dividends. Generally, our primary sources of capital and liquidity are the operations of our multi-family properties (including distributions and/or income from the preferred equity investments and the operations of the unconsolidated multi-family properties), mortgage debt financings and re-financings, the issuance of shares of our common stock pursuant to our at-the-market distribution and dividend reinvestment programs, borrowings from our credit facility and our available cash. At August 1, 2025, our available liquidity was approximately $49.0 million, including $16.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $33 million available under our credit facility.
We anticipate that from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, our operating expenses, $77.4 million of mortgage amortization and interest expense (including $27.6 million from unconsolidated joint ventures), $15.4 million, $130.4 million and $65.9 million of balloon payments with respect to mortgages maturing in 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively (including $60.9 and $23.1 million maturing in 2026 and 2027, respectively, from unconsolidated joint ventures), interest expense on our junior subordinated notes, estimated cash dividend payments of at least $47.2 million (assuming (i) the current quarterly dividend rate of $0.25 per share and (ii) 18.9 million shares outstanding), will be funded from cash generated from operations (including distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures). Our operating cash flow and available cash is insufficient to fully fund the $211.7 million (including $84.0 million at unconsolidated joint ventures) of balloon payments due through 2027, and if we are unable to refinance such debt on acceptable terms, we may need to issue additional equity or dispose of properties, in each case on potentially unfavorable terms.
Our ability to acquire or invest in additional multi-family property opportunities and implement value-add projects is limited by our available cash and our ability to (i) draw on our credit facility, (ii) obtain, on acceptable terms, mortgage debt from lenders, and (iii) raise capital from the sale of our common stock.
At June 30, 2025, we had mortgage debt of $699.3 million (including $250.2 million of mortgage debt at of our unconsolidated subsidiaries). The mortgage debt at our: (i) consolidated properties had a weighted average interest rate of 4.09% and a weighted average remaining term to maturity of approximately 5.6 years, and (ii) at our unconsolidated subsidiaries had a weighted average interest rate of 4.26% and a remaining term to maturity of approximately 3.4 years.
Junior Subordinated Notes
As of June 30, 2025, $37.4 million (excluding deferred costs of $232,000) in principal amount of our junior subordinated notes is outstanding. These notes mature in April 2036, contain limited covenants (including covenants prohibiting us from paying dividends or repurchasing capital stock if there is an event of default (as defined therein) on these notes), are redeemable at our option and bear an interest rate, which resets and is payable quarterly, at a rate of three-month term SOFR plus 250 basis points. At June 30, 2025 and 2024, the interest rate on these notes was 6.54% and 7.59%, respectively.
23
Credit Facility
Our credit facility with VNB New York, LLC, an affiliate of Valley National Bank (collectively, "VNB"), allows us to borrow, subject to compliance with borrowing base requirements and other conditions, up to $40 million, (i) for the acquisition of, and investment in, multi-family properties, (ii) to repay mortgage debt secured by multi-family properties and (iii) for Operating Expenses (i.e., working capital (including dividend payments) and operating expenses); provided, that not more than $25 million may be used for Operating Expenses. The credit facility is secured by cash accounts maintained by us at VNB (and we are required to maintain substantially all of our bank accounts at VNB), and the pledge of our interests in the entities that own the unencumbered multi-family properties used in calculating the borrowing base. The credit facility bears an annual interest rate, which resets monthly, equal to one-month term SOFR plus 250 basis points, with a floor of 6.00%. There is an annual fee of 0.25% on the total amount committed by VNB and unused by us. The credit facility matures in September 2027. Net proceeds received from the sale, financing or refinancing of our properties are generally required to be used to repay amounts outstanding on the facility. The interest rate in effect at June 30, 2025 and August 1, 2025, was 6.95% and 6.83% respectively. As of August 1, 2025, there was an outstanding balance of $7 million on the credit facility and $33 million is available to be borrowed thereunder.
The terms of the credit facility include certain restrictions and covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of liens, require that we maintain and include in the collateral securing the facility at least two unencumbered properties with an aggregate value (as calculated pursuant to the facility) of at least $50 million, and require compliance with financial ratios relating to, among other things, maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of $140 million, the minimum amount of debt service coverage with respect to the properties (and amounts drawn on the credit facility) used in calculating the borrowing base. Net proceeds received from the sale, financing or refinancing of wholly-owned properties are generally required to be used to repay amounts outstanding under the credit facility. At June 30, 2025, we were in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of the facility.
Other Financing Sources and Arrangements
At June 30, 2025, we are joint venture partners in unconsolidated joint ventures which own eight multi-family properties and the distributions to us from these joint venture properties of $603,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 contributed to our liquidity and cash flow. Further, we may be required to make significant capital contributions with respect to these properties. At June 30, 2025, our investments in these joint venture properties had a net-equity carrying value of $30.0 million. The underlying properties are subject to mortgage debt, which is not reflected on our consolidated balance sheet, of $251.1 million. Although BRT Apartments Corp. is not the obligor with respect to such mortgage debt, the loss of any of these properties due to mortgage foreclosure or similar proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. See note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.
At June 30, 2025, we had preferred equity investments in two multi-family properties and during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we generated $301,000 of loan interest income from these investments. At June 30, 2025, these investments had a carrying value of $17.7 million, are unsecured and are structurally subordinate to (including the payment of the returns thereon), to an aggregate of $51.2 million of mortgage debt (which is not reflected on our consolidated balance sheet) bearing a weighted average interest rate of 4.81% and a weighted average remaining term to maturity of 5.4 years. Although we are not the obligor with respect to such mortgage debt, the loss of any of these investments due to mortgage foreclosure or similar proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. See note 6 to our consolidated financial statements.
Cash Distribution Policy
We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute to our stockholders within the time frames prescribed by the Code at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income. Management currently intends to maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate Federal income tax on taxable income we distribute to stockholders in accordance with the Code. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to Federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even if we qualify for Federal taxation as a REIT, we are subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and to Federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income (i.e., taxable income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the Code).
On July 9, 2025, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share to holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on June 25, 2025.
24
We anticipate that the dividends paid in 2025 will be treated as a return of capital for Federal income tax purposes.
We carefully monitor our discretionary spending. Our largest recurring discretionary expenditure has been our quarterly dividend (which was $0.25 per share of common stock, or approximately $4.7 million, with respect to the dividend paid in July 2025). Each quarter, our board of directors evaluates the timing and amount of our dividend based on its assessment of, among other things, our short and long- term cash and liquidity requirements, prospects, debt maturities, projections of our REIT taxable income, net income, funds from operations, and adjusted funds from operations.
Application of Critical Accounting Estimates
A complete discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in our Annual Report. There have been no changes in such estimates.
25
Funds from Operations, Adjusted Funds from Operations and Net Operating Income
We disclose below funds from operations (“FFO”), adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) and net operating income ("NOI") because we believe that such metrics are a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT.
We compute 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 funds from operations on the same basis. In computing FFO, we do not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities or depreciation of non-real estate assets.
We compute AFFO by adjusting FFO for the loss of extinguishment of debt, our straight-line rent and rental concession accruals, restricted stock and RSU compensation expense, fair value adjustment of mortgage debt, gain on insurance recovery, insurance recovery from casualty loss and deferred mortgage and debt costs ( including, in each case as applicable, from our share from our unconsolidated joint ventures). Since the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of AFFO may vary from one REIT to another.
We believe 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 carrying value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, we believe 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. We also consider FFO and AFFO to be useful to us 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 should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our 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 our cash needs, including principal amortization and capital improvements. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.
Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating our performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased on an absolute basis (but not a per share basis) from the corresponding quarter in the prior year primarily due to (i) increased interest expense, (ii) a decrease in rental income (which includes the effect of straight line rent adjustments related to concessions) and (iii) increased tax expense. The decrease was offset primarily due to the increases in loan interest and other income and insurance proceeds from a casualty event, and a decline in general and administrative expense.
AFFO for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased from the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the factors contributing to the changes in FFO, excluding the impact of the straight line rent adjustments.
See "Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 compared to three months ended June 30, 2024" for a discussion of these changes.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased from the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to (i) an increase in loan interest and other income, (ii) an improvement in operating margins (including the impact of the lease extension at a commercial property) at consolidated and unconsolidated properties , (iii) an increase in insurance recoveries and (iv) a decrease in expense related to equity awards. This increase was offset by (i) an increase in interest expense and (ii) an increase in income tax expense.
.
AFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased from the corresponding period in the prior year due to the factors contributing to the change in FFO, other than the changes in straight line rent adjustments and the expense related to equity awards.
See "Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 compared to six months ended June 30, 2024", for a discussion of these changes.
28
Net Operating Income, or NOI, is a non-GAAP measure of performance. NOI is used by our management and many investors to evaluate and compare the performance of our properties to other comparable properties, to determine trends at our properties and to determine the estimated fair value of our properties. The usefulness of NOI may be limited in that it does not take into account, among other things, general and administrative expense, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, casualty losses, insurance recoveries and gains or losses as determined by GAAP. NOI is a property specific performance metric and does not measure our performance as a whole.
NOI is defined as "Rental and other revenue from real estate properties" less "Real estate operating expenses" in each case as presented on our statements of operations. Real estate operating expenses include real estate taxes, insurance, property management expense, utilities, repairs and maintenance, administrative and marketing. Other REIT’s may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REIT’s. We believe NOI provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income (loss). NOI is one of the measures we use to evaluate our performance because it (i) measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items unrelated to property operating performance and (ii) captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

All of our mortgage debt bears interest at fixed rates. Our junior subordinated notes bear interest at the rate of three month term SOFR plus 226 basis points. At June 30, 2025, the interest rate on these notes was 6.54%. Our credit facility bears interest at the rate of one month term SOFR plus 250 basis points. There was no balance outstanding on the credit facility at June 30, 2025. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase our related interest expense on our junior subordinated notes by approximately $374,000 annually and a 100 basis point decrease in the rates would decrease our related interest expense by $374,000 annually.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, these officers concluded that as of June 30, 2025 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information
Disclosure of 10b5-1 Plans
Equity Incentive Program Activity
On July 11, 2025, we awarded an aggregate of approximately 173,700 shares subject to restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and related dividend equivalent rights. Generally, the awards vest in 2028 subject to satisfaction of, among other things, market and performance conditions.
We determined that as of June 30, 2025, none of the performance and market conditions with respect to the vesting of the RSUs granted in 2022 had been met. Accordingly, all such awards, to the extent not previously forfeited, were forfeited.
Impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on the Company and its Stockholders
The discussion under "Federal Income Tax Considerations" in our prospectus dated April 28, 2023, as the same may have been amended or supplemented form time-to-time (the “Prospectus”), is hereby modified to reflect legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Capitalized terms used in this section without being defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them by the Prospectus.
Enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act: On July 4, 2025, legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law. Among other changes, the OBBBA included a number of changes to the Code that affect the U.S. federal income tax laws applicable to REITs and their security holders. The most significant of those changes are described below. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of the OBBBA on their investment.
REIT Asset Tests: The OBBBA increases the ownership limit applicable to TRSs for taxable years ending after December 31, 2025. For taxable years ending after December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2025, not more than 20% of the value of our total assets may be represented by securities of one or more TRSs. For taxable years ending after December 31, 2025, not more than 25% of the value of our total assets may be represented by securities of one or more TRSs.
Pass-Through Business Income Tax Rate Lowered through Deduction: The OBBBA permanently extends the provisions allowing individuals and some trusts and estates to deduct up to 20% of “qualified REIT dividends,” which are REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends, dividends designated as eligible for capital gain tax rates and certain other income items discussed under “Impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on the Company and its Stockholders-Pass-Through Business Income Tax Rate Lowered through Deduction.”
Limitations on Interest Deductibility: The OBBBA eases the limitation on the deduction for net interest expense discussed under “Impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on the Company and its Stockholders-Limitations on Interest Deductibility,” by modifying the definition of “adjusted taxable income” which is one of the limitations on the deduction. For taxable years beginning after December 21, 2025, adjusted taxable income will again be calculated before any deductions for depreciation, amortization, and depletion.
Revised Individual Tax Rates and Deductions: The OBBBA permanently extends the individual income tax changes discussed under “Impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on the Company and its Stockholders-Revised Individual Tax rates and Deduction.”
The changes made by the OBBBA are complex and we cannot predict the long-term impact of the OBBBA, other new U.S. federal tax laws, and whether, when and how the OBBBA and other new U.S. federal tax laws will be affected by any administrative and judicial interpretations. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of the OBBBA on their investment.
