“UMH Properties, Inc. is a public equity REIT (real estate investment trust) headquartered in Freehold, NJ. The Company owns and operates a portfolio of 126 manufactured home communities with approximately 23,800 developed homesites. These communities are located in ten states: New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Alabama and South Carolina. In addition, UMH owns approximately 1,800 acres of land for the development of new sites.” So says the UMH Properties (UMH) Investor Relations home page. Sources with fellow Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) National Community Council (NCC) member Green Courte Partners (GCP) told MHProNews that UMH was previously mocked at an MHI meeting by their leadership. Specifically, GCP Chairman Randy Rowe was named.

Rowe, prior to the shift in UMH described below, reportedly mocked them in the company of other MHI and GCP team members present for being ‘a $10 stock.’ Heads nodded.

GCP’s David Lentz and others there could not be reached by email for comment. That noted, the sources are reliable. Nor would it be the first or last time that one MHI member in some sense undermined one or more other members. The evidence for that later point is strong. It comes from sources both inside and outside of MHI/NCC, and from sources inside and outside of manufactured housing. A prior interview with Sam Landy, J.D., is linked here.

 

 

Be that as it may, either way, UMH are not a $10 stock any more.

• Increased Sales of Manufactured Homes by 37%;

• Issued and sold approximately 352,000 shares of Common Stock through an At-the-Market Sale Program for our Common Stock at a weighted average price of $19.08 per share, generating gross proceeds of $6.7 million and net proceeds of $6.6 million, after offering expenses;
• Issued and sold, through At-the-Market Sale Programs for our Preferred Stock, 1.3 million shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a weighted average price of $24.85 per share, generating total gross proceeds of $31.4 million and total net proceeds of $30.9 million, after offering expenses;

Mr. Landy stated, “We are proud of the results that we were able to achieve in 2020 and are happy to report that we have produced similar results for the first quarter of 2021. Normalized FFO was $0.20 for the quarter representing an increase of 33% year over year. During the quarter, we raised our common stock dividend 5.5% to $0.19 per quarter or $0.76 per year.”

“UMH continues to deliver industry leading operating results. These results highlight the strong demand for affordable housing in all of our markets. Same property occupancy was up 320 basis points year over year to 86.3%. This increase in occupancy was the result of the addition of 218 new rental homes to our portfolio and a 37% increase in home sales. Our occupancy gains and rent increases generated same store NOI growth of 16%.”

“These results are only possible because of our years of hard work laying the foundation for tremendous earnings growth and value appreciation. Our business plan has created a runway for us to deliver organic growth for years to come. We currently have 3,500 vacant sites within our existing communities that we intend on filling with homes for rent and sale. We also have 1,800 acres of undeveloped land that can be developed into 7,200 home sites. We also continue to seek additional external growth opportunities. During the quarter, we closed on the acquisitions of two communities containing 337 sites for a total purchase price of $8 million. These acquisitions are in new markets, Alabama and South Carolina, and we intend on acquiring additional communities in these states. Our internal and external growth opportunities pave the way for continued FFO and dividend growth for the foreseeable future.”

Note:

(1) Non-GAAP Information: We assess and measure our overall operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“FFO”), which management believes is a useful indicator of our operating performance. FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of a REIT. FFO, as defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), represents net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items, as defined under U.S. GAAP, gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets, the change in the fair value of marketable securities, and the gain or loss on the sale of marketable securities plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization. Included in the NAREIT FFO White Paper – 2018 Restatement, is an option pertaining to assets incidental to our main business in the calculation of NAREIT FFO to make an election to include or exclude gains and losses on the sale of these assets, such as marketable equity securities, and include or exclude mark-to-market changes in the value recognized on these marketable equity securities. In conjunction with the adoption of the FFO White Paper – 2018 Restatement, for all periods presented, we have elected to exclude the gains and losses realized on marketable securities investments and the change in the fair value of marketable securities from our FFO calculation. NAREIT created FFO as a non-U.S. GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance. We define Normalized Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Normalized FFO”), as FFO excluding certain one-time charges. FFO and Normalized FFO should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO exclude historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have a different cost basis. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO and Normalized FFO and, accordingly, our FFO and Normalized FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs. The items excluded from FFO and Normalized FFO are significant components in understanding the Company’s financial performance.

FFO and Normalized FFO (i) do not represent Cash Flow from Operations as defined by U.S. GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

The reconciliation of the Company’s U.S. GAAP net loss to the Company’s FFO and Normalized FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are calculated as follows (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended
		3/31/21				3/31/20
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders		$	6,839			$	(42,838	)
Depreciation Expense			11,008				10,227
Loss on Sales of Depreciable Assets			23				107
(Increase) Decrease in Fair Value of Marketable Securities			(10,219	)			38,593
Loss on Sales of Marketable Securities, net			730				-0-
FFO Attributable to Common Shareholders			8,381				6,089
Non- Recurring Other Expense (2)			320				-0-
Normalized FFO Attributable to Common Shareholders		$	8,701			$	6,089

The diluted weighted shares outstanding used in the calculation of FFO per Diluted Common Share and Normalized FFO per Diluted Common Share were 3.2 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 41.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Common stock equivalents resulting from stock options in the amount of 898,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are included in the diluted weighted shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents resulting from stock options in the amount of 355,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Loss per Share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The following are the cash flows provided (used) by operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

		2021				2020
Operating Activities		$	13,215			$	17,295
Investing Activities			(18,726	)			(20,477	)
Financing Activities			16,971				6,387

(2) Consists of special bonus and restricted stock grants for the August 2020 groundbreaking Fannie Mae financing.

The above should be construed through the lens of the prior UMH Properties business model. Prior to Dodd-Frank and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) impacts imposed by the Obama-Biden Administration, UMH Properties was focused on selling homes.  The firm’s leaders politely but clearly lamented the problems caused by those trends.

 

 

But UMH ‘discovered’ rentals, part of a broader shift in the manufactured home community sector post-Dodd-Frank. They learned, as have others, that the profit margins on renting manufactured homes versus selling them could be good. They also learned that renting a unit was easier than selling a manufactured home.

In this recent statement above, Landy did not mention the actual total number of sales.

 

 

But in a prior earnings call, illustrated by the pull quotes above, Landy made it clear that those total sales are low, and that the bulk of their activity is in rentals.   It did not use to be so, pre-Dodd-Frank, as the video and related below make clear.

 

 

While UMH is apparently on a more profitable footing now, what is missing in this equation are several key points. Among them? The fact that manufactured homeowners and potential consumers are the losers, because most new customers are renters – not buyers.

When so-called ESG considerations are being increasingly touted by so many firms, including UMH, one might think that the long-term interests of the home ownership thirsty public would matter more?  In fairness, UMH has not stirred up as much negative dust as many of their colleagues at MHI. But they are still part of the club, why is that so?
