ORINDA, Calif., May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq: MKZR) (“MacKenzie” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended March 31, 2025 and announced that its Board Of Directors is suspending the company’s cash dividend payable to common stockholders.
Key Financial Highlights:
Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025:
- Net revenues for three months ended March 31, 2025, were $4.3 million, an increase of 5% from $4.1 million in the same period of 2024.
- Net operating loss was $5.8 million, as compared to a net operating loss of $2.7 million in the same period of 2024.
- Net loss was $6.1 million, compared to a $2.9 million loss in the same period of 2024.
- The Company had negative $3.1 million of funds from operations (“FFO”) for the quarter. The net loss of $6.09 million was offset by $2.63 million in depreciation expense and $0.36 million of unrealized losses from investments and straight-line rent adjustments.
- Paid a common stock quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.05 per share for the period ended March 31, 2025.
- Refinanced Hillview Hollywood property into a permanent 5-year loan, while paying debt down by over $5.8 million since completion of the renovation, further focusing on debt reduction and stabilization. The loan closed on March 28, 2025, so the interest savings will start impacting cash flows in the current quarter.
- Aurora at Green Valley construction is progressing on schedule and on budget. The clubhouse is scheduled to open in mid-June 2025 for pre-leasing activities. The first of the three residential buildings is scheduled to be completed with certificate of occupancy issued by mid to late July 2025, with each of the remaining two residential buildings scheduled to open shortly thereafter.
- Paid down $5 million on the outstanding principal balance on Main Street West property loan and entered into a forbearance agreement with the lender.
The Board Of Directors is suspending the company’s cash dividend historically paid to stockholders of common stock on a quarterly basis, as management continues to evaluate and refine its capital allocation policy consistent with the company’s broader long-term efforts. This change in capital allocation is aimed at strengthening MacKenzie’s balance sheet by reducing debt over time and improving free cash flow.
Robert Dixon, CEO and President of MacKenzie Realty Capital, stated, “The third quarter results were in line with our internal expectations and although we are disappointed to suspend the cash dividend for our common stockholders, the uncertainty around interest rates and the overall economic outlook has led the Board to this decision. We remain focused on successfully executing our growth initiatives while maintaining financial discipline which we believe will deliver sustained value creation over the long term.”
“The third quarter included many positives, including successfully raising $4.8 million from an institutional investor which provided us the flexibility to support ongoing refinancing efforts within our current portfolio,” concluded Mr. Dixon.
