Clipper Realty Inc. (NYSE:CLPR) (the "Company"), a leading owner and operator of multifamily residential and commercial properties in the New York metropolitan area, today announced financial and operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Record quarterly revenues of $32.8 million for the third quarter of 2022
Quarterly income from operations of $7.3 million for the third quarter of 2022
Record net operating income ("NOI")¹ of $17.4 million for the third quarter of 2022
Quarterly net loss of $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2022
Quarterly adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO")¹ of $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2022
Declared a dividend of $0.095 per share for the third quarter of 2022

David Bistricer, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

"We continue to see strong demand for our New York City and Brooklyn based rental properties. Our revenue, occupancy, rent levels, new leases and renewals are all exceeding pre-pandemic levels. In the third quarter, we recorded record revenue of $32.8 million, NOI of $17.4 million and leased occupancy of 99.1% and our overall collection rate remains high at 95.5%. We have a strong liquidity position with $35.5 million of cash on the balance sheet, consisting of $20.0 million of unrestricted cash and $15.5 million of restricted cash, and substantially all debt at our operating properties is fixed rate, none maturing until 2027. Additionally, we expect to complete our 1010 Pacific Street development property in the fourth quarter on budget and begin leasing in the first quarter. We remain committed to executing our strategic initiatives to create long-term value."

Financial Results

For the third quarter of 2022, revenues increased by $2.2 million, or 7.2%, to $32.8 million and $3.0 million, or 9.8% to $33.6 million excluding the effects of the new accounting standard discussed below. This compares to revenue of $30.6 million for the third quarter of 2021. Excluding the effects of the new accounting standard, residential revenue increased by $2.5 million, or 11.7%, due to higher rental rates and occupancy at all our properties; commercial income increased $0.4 million, or 4.3%, due to higher escalation billings at the 141 Livingston St property. Revenue in the third quarter of 2022 reflects implementation of a new accounting standard effective 2022 by which adjustments to receivables for collectability were made to revenue in the amount of $0.8 million; in the third quarter of 2021, such adjustments were made to operating expenses in the amount of $0.2 million.

For the third quarter of 2022, net loss was $2.8 million, or $0.08 per share compared to net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.09 per share, for the third quarter of 2021. The change was primarily attributable to increased revenue and lower interest expense partially offset by increased property operating expenses and real estate taxes.

For the third quarter of 2022, AFFO was $5.0 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to $4.1 million, or $0.10 per share, for the third quarter of 2021. As discussed above, the change was primarily attributable to increased revenue and lower interest expense partially offset by increased property operating expenses and real estate taxes.

Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2022, notes payable (excluding unamortized loan costs) was $1,167.3 million, compared to $1,144.1 million at December 31, 2021. The increase primarily was due borrowings to develop the 1010 Pacific Street property and complete the 953 Dean Street property acquisition partially offset by scheduled principal amortization payments.

Dividend

The Company today declared a third quarter dividend of $0.095 per share, the same amount as last quarter, to shareholders of record on November 21, 2022, payable November 25, 2022.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

(In thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We disclose and discuss funds from operations ("FFO"), adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO"), adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") and net operating income ("NOI"), all of which meet the definition of "non-GAAP financial measures" set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

While management and the investment community in general believe that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors, neither FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, nor NOI should be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income from operations as an indication of our performance. We believe that to understand our performance further, FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and NOI should be compared with our reported net income (loss) or income from operations and considered in addition to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.

Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairment adjustments, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by NAREIT.

AFFO is defined by us as FFO excluding amortization of identifiable intangibles incurred in property acquisitions, straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, amortization costs incurred in originating debt, interest rate cap mark-to-market adjustments, amortization of non-cash equity compensation, acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, loss on modification/extinguishment of debt, gain on involuntary conversion, gain on termination of lease and non-recurring litigation-related expenses, less recurring capital spending.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. FFO is intended to be a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation and valuation adjustments from net income. We consider FFO useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions and measuring operating performance. We further consider AFFO useful in determining funds available for payment of distributions. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent net income or cash flows from operations computed in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income (loss) as reliable measures of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as measures of liquidity.

Neither FFO nor AFFO measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including loan principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities computed in accordance with GAAP. Further, FFO and AFFO as disclosed by other REITs might not be comparable to our calculations of FFO and AFFO.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO and AFFO for the periods presented to net loss, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands):

AFFO Per Share/Unit	$	0.12		$	0.10		$	0.34		$	0.26

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before allocation to non-controlling interests, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of identifiable intangibles, straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, amortization of non-cash equity compensation, interest expense (net), acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, loss on modification/extinguishment of debt and non-recurring litigation-related expenses, less gain on involuntary conversion and gain on termination of lease.

We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a meaningful financial measure of our core operating performance.

However, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. Further, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Adjusted EBITDA, and accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented to net loss, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021

Adjusted EBITDA	$	14,944		$	14,165		$	43,953		$	41,384

Net Operating Income

We believe that NOI is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as income from operations plus real estate depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, amortization of identifiable intangibles and straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, less gain on termination of lease. We believe that this measure is widely recognized and provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). We use NOI to evaluate our performance because NOI allows us to evaluate the operating performance of our company by measuring the core operations of property performance and capturing trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. NOI is also a widely used metric in valuation of properties.

However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. Further, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of NOI for the periods presented to income from operations, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
