Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. reports full year results for 2018

 

DALLAS (March 29, 2019) Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: IOR), a Dallas-based real estate investment company, today reported results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reported net income of $8.2 million or ($1.97) per diluted earnings per share for the period ended December 31, 2018, as compared to a net income of $1.5 million or ($0.36) per share for the same period ended 2017.

Land held subject to a sales contract is our sole operating segment. There was no income generated from this segment for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

General and administrative expenses were $494,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents an increase of $56,000 compared to general and administrative expenses of $438,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in reimbursements for expenses paid for by IOR’s financial advisor and stock transfer agent fees of approximately $50,000 and $9,000, respectively.

Net income fee to the financial advisor was $631,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents an increase of $381,000, compared to the net income fee of $250,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The net income fee paid is calculated at the rate of 7.5% of net income.

Advisory fees were $685,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents an increase of $25,000 compared to advisory fees of $660,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Advisory fees are computed based on a gross asset fee of 0.0625% per month (0.75% per annum) of the average of the gross asset value.

Interest income was $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents an increase of $0.7 million, compared to interest income of $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the receivable amount owed from our Advisor.

Income tax expense was $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to income tax expense of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Net income before taxes was $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This represents an increase of $7.2 million compared to net income before taxes of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Gain on land sales increased by $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to the same period a year ago, as a result of the sale of real estate holdings during the third quarter for approximately $22.5 million.
