(1) Investments consist of U.S. Treasury securities classified as trading securities and marketable equity securities, of which $2,393,260 is held by our insurance entities at December 31, 2024. Marketable equity securities excludes Sky Harbour Group Corporation ("Sky Harbour") Class A common stock as we account for our 16.4% stake (as measured at December 31, 2024) under the equity method. |
|||||||
| (2) Noncontrolling interests are primarily related to third party capital raised within our build for rent fund as well as within our 24th Street commercial real estate funds. | |||||||
During fiscal 2024, we incurred $4.1 million in one-time employee costs and professional fees associated with the separation and stock repurchase agreement of our former Co-CEO.
During fiscal 2024, "Net Other Income (Expense)" included $29.1 million in other investment income mainly driven by a $17.0 million unrealized gain on the Sky Harbour warrants held by Boston Omaha, other investment income of $7.8 million primarily related to the sale of real estate properties and changes in the fair value of remaining assets within the 24th Street Funds and BFR Fund, $2.0 million in non-cash gains associated with the transfer of Sky Harbour Class A common stock to our former Co-CEO as a part of his separation and stock repurchase agreement, $1.1 million in realized gains on the sale of 285,442 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock, and interest and dividend income of $1.4 million. These items were partially offset by a loss of $17.3 million from unconsolidated affiliates mainly related to non-cash losses from our equity method position in Sky Harbour and interest expense of $1.6 million mainly incurred under Link's term loan and revolver.
Our investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock and warrants was valued at $94.5 million on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. If our investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock was accounted for at fair value based on its quoted market price (currently valued using equity method accounting), then our total investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock and warrants would be valued at $170.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
Cash inflow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $21.2 million, compared to a cash inflow of $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
During fiscal 2024, we repurchased 111,323 shares of our Class A common stock on the open market for a total cost of $1.6 million.
Our book value per share was $16.99 at December 31, 2024, compared to $17.19 at December 31, 2023.
As of December 31, 2024, we had 30,832,026 shares of Class A common stock and 527,780 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.
As of March 27, 2025, we had 30,872,876 shares of Class A common stock and 580,558 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.
