Insights

UMH Properties' Q1 2025 update demonstrates solid operational performance with meaningful revenue growth. Rental and related charges increased 8.3% year-over-year to $54.9 million, driven by both occupancy gains and rental rate increases. The company's same-property occupancy improved by 113 units in Q1 and 227 units year-over-year, bringing the portfolio to 88% occupancy.

Despite a 9.5% decline in gross sales to $6.7 million, this decrease is primarily attributable to a one-time inventory liquidation in the previous year. When adjusted for this non-recurring event, sales actually increased marginally by 0.5%.

The REIT continues executing its growth strategy through strategic acquisitions, purchasing two fully-occupied age-restricted communities in New Jersey for $24.6 million. These acquisitions added 266 developed homesites to UMH's portfolio, with additional acquisitions planned for Q2.

The company successfully raised capital through its ATM programs, generating $9.4 million from common stock and $1.1 million from preferred stock issuances. This capital position supports UMH's expansion plans, including the addition of 800 new rental homes.

Particularly notable is the company's fifth consecutive annual dividend increase, bringing the distribution to $0.90 per share annually. With a projected 90% payout ratio based on guidance midpoint, UMH's dividend policy reflects management's confidence in sustainable cash flow growth, having increased dividends by 25% over the past five years while gradually improving the payout ratio.

UMH's operational metrics reveal a company effectively executing its manufactured housing community strategy. The conversion of 115 homes from inventory to revenue-generating rental units demonstrates UMH's ability to monetize its assets while maintaining high occupancy levels. The 94.7% occupancy rate across approximately 10,400 rental homes indicates strong demand and effective property management.

The 9% year-over-year increase in April 2025 rental and related charges reflects successful implementation of rental rate increases while simultaneously improving occupancy metrics. This combination is particularly challenging to achieve and speaks to the strong positioning of UMH's communities in their respective markets.

The company's acquisition of fully-occupied communities in New Jersey aligns with a low-risk expansion approach. By acquiring properties with 100% occupancy, UMH secures immediate cash flow without the lease-up risk associated with vacant properties. With additional acquisitions planned in Maryland, the company appears to be focusing on geographic clustering that can create operational efficiencies.

UMH's investment in 800 new rental homes represents a significant commitment to its rental-focused business model. This investment, combined with the 5% annual rent increase, positions the company for continued revenue growth. The improvement in same-property occupancy by 113 units during Q1 suggests the company's operational strategies are successfully addressing any previous vacancy challenges and building a stronger foundation for sustainable performance.

FREEHOLD, NJ, April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UMH Properties, Inc. (NYSE: UMH) (TASE: UMH), a real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities, is providing investors with an update on the first quarter of 2025 operating results:

Included in the first quarter sales last year was the liquidation of $730,000 of inventory at a sales center that was leased to a third-party operator. Excluding these sales, gross sales increased by 0.5% over last year.
  1. Our occupancy gains and rent increases achieved throughout 2024 and thus far in 2025 have increased our April 2025 rental and related charges by approximately 9% over April 2024. Rental and related charges for the first quarter were approximately $54.9 million compared to $50.7 million last year, representing an increase of approximately 8.3%.

Through the Preferred At-the-Market sale program, we issued and sold approximately 49,000 shares at a weighted average price of $23.03 per share, generating gross proceeds of approximately $1.1 million.

Samuel A. Landy, President and CEO of UMH Properties, Inc., stated “2025 is off to a strong start. We continue to fill homes in our communities through our rental home and sales program. This is evidenced by our increase in same property occupancy of 113 units and the increase in our rental home occupancy by 70 bps from 94.0% to 94.7%. We expect to continue to see occupancy and sales growth as we move into the spring and summer seasons when demand typically increases.

“UMH is on track to generate increased revenue through our 5% annual rent increase and our investment in 800 new rental homes. Additionally, we have the potential to further increase our gross sales and sales profits as a result of our previous investments in our expansions and new developments.

“Our solid and growing operating results have given management and the Board of Directors the confidence to increase the dividend for a fifth consecutive year. Our annual distribution to shareholders is now $0.90 per share. Assuming we hit the mid-point of our guidance, our payout ratio continues to improve and would be 90%. Our long-term plan is to continue to increase the dividend while reducing our payout ratio. Over the past five years, we have increased the dividend by 25%.

“We are pleased to complete our first acquisitions of 2025. These communities fit well within our existing footprint and are great additions to our portfolio. We have two communities in Maryland under contract that should close in the second quarter. We anticipate being active in the acquisition market as we progress throughout the year.”
