Samuel A. Landy, President and CEO, commented on the results of the first quarter of 2026.
“We are pleased to announce another solid quarter of operating results and an excellent start to 2026. During the quarter, we:
Samuel A. Landy, President and CEO, commented, “UMH Properties delivered a stable first quarter in 2026, reflecting the strength and resilience of our long-term business plan. Normalized FFO was $0.23 per share. Our earnings were affected by an unusually harsh winter which impacted our home sales volume and increased our community operating expenses. Additionally, our interest expenses increased substantially over last year as a result of our refinancings and the issuance of a new bonds offering. Interest on completed lots and added rental units is expensed at the time of completion. This new debt capital will allow us to grow in the coming quarters as it is invested and our investments become income producing. Our results and earnings should improve as we are able to obtain our annual rent increases, invest in additional rental units, increase sales and complete additional acquisitions.”
“Our communities continue to perform in line with our expectations. We are experiencing strong demand which is resulting in solid sales and growing occupancy and revenue. Our same-property occupancy increased by 171 sites from year end 2025 and an increase of 412 occupied sites year-over-year, driving a 7.1%, or $2.3 million, increase in NOI to $34.9 million. Rental home occupancy increased from 93.8% at year end to 94.6% at the end of the first quarter. Additionally, we converted 142 new homes from inventory to revenue-generating rental homes, expanding our rental portfolio to approximately 11,200 homes. Home sales remained robust despite the challenging winter, with gross sales revenue reaching $7.1 million, including sales at Honey Ridge. We anticipate sales growth as we progress into our peak selling seasons and begin selling homes into our newly opened expansions.”
“We are tightening our guidance range and expect normalized FFO in the range of $0.98-$1.04 (3) per diluted share, or $1.01 per diluted share at the midpoint compared to previous FFO guidance range of $0.97-$1.05 per diluted share. As we head into the seasonally strong spring and summer months, we anticipate continued growth in occupancy, NOI, and sales, delivering long-term value and growing earnings to our shareholders.”
